Lily just shrugged (耸肩) and gave a small smile. Forgetting homework was 21 for her. She’d rather play games or watch funny videos after school than do her homework. She thought homework was boring and a waste of time, and she didn’t see why it mattered so much. “Please try to remember next time,” Mr. Clark said patiently. He 22 her every time, but Lily never seemed to learn a lesson. That afternoon, her class was divided into groups for a very important science 23 . “Let’s start our work. Lily, did you bring the 24 I asked you to prepare yesterday?” asked Sara, her group leader. Lily’s face turned red. She had completely forgotten! She 25 her head slowly, unable to meet Sara’s eyes. Sara sighed (叹气) deeply. “We can’t do anything today without those tools.” The other group members looked 26 . Tom said, “We might get a low score because of this.” Lily felt terrible. She didn’t want to let her friends down, and the weight of her mistake felt heavy. That night, she did something different. She 27 her homework first before turning on her computer. Then, she carefully prepared the things for the science project. She even wrote a colorful 28 and stuck it on her bedroom door to remind herself to bring them to school. The next day, when she 29 took out the tools in class, everyone in her group smiled. “Great job, Lily! You saved our project,” Sara said with joy. From that day on, Lily tried to be more responsible.

To put it simply, a budget is a practical plan that helps us manage how we earn, save and spend our money wisely. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a leader in the government planning billions of yuan to keep the country running smoothly, or a middle school student working out how long to save for a new video game that costs around 400 yuan, the basic idea is the same: Making a budget is the best way to take control of your money and avoid waste. How can a budget help me? Have you ever wondered why your monthly pocket money runs out in just two weeks? Or regretted spending 70% of your birthday money on snacks and online game skins, only to find you can’t afford the sports shoes or storybooks you really wanted? Research shows that when teenagers have the same income every week, those who use a budget can save 30% more each month than those who don’t. This shows that budgeting helps young people manage their money better, allowing them to reach saving goals — such as buying a Nintendo Switch, Nike Kobe sneakers, or a Giant bicycle. More importantly, learning budgeting is also good for students’ future. Studies show that people who learned to budget in their teens are 65% more likely to avoid debt (债务) in adulthood, when they have to pay for higher costs like rent, bills and supermarket shopping. How do I make a budget? Get a pen and paper and start by writing down all your incomes. This could be your regular pocket money, or extra earnings for helping out with the housework each week. Add these up to get your total monthly incomes. Next, list your outgoings — the money you spend regularly. Maybe you buy a cup of milk tea every week or a new game DLC each month. Add these up to get your total monthly outgoings. When you take your outgoings away from your incomes, you’ll see how much you have left to save or spend freely. It’s wise to save at least 20% of the money left, especially if you’re expecting to buy something special. Your budget will help you see how much you can save each week and how long it will take to reach your goal. You might then decide to spend less or think about ways to earn more so that you can reach your goal faster. 31.What is the purpose of making a budget according to the text? A.To help government leaders plan billions of yuan for the country. B.To allow middle school students to save money for video games. C.To control money and avoid waste through wise management. D.To make sure people can make more money than they spend each month. 32.Which of the following can be put into ? A.Making a budget can help your money go further. B.Saving money is an important habit for teenagers. C.Managing daily cost well needs a lot of practice. D.Buying expensive things often requires careful planning. 33.Which of the following is RIGHT according to paragraph 3? A. B. C. D. 34.What are the correct steps to make a budget according to the text? A. B. C. D. B “Do not get the idea that you’re anything special, because you’re not.” This is what English teacher David McCullough told graduates at Wellesley High School. Mothers and fathers present at the ceremony (典礼) disagreed with McCullough’s words. But in all that anger and disagreement, we missed something we really should keep in mind: our young people actually have no idea whether they’re really talented or not. In our hope to build their confidence, we forgot to teach them how to correctly evaluate (评估) their own abilities. In fact, it’s not just these high-school students: we all tend to view ourselves as above-average. Therefore, it is of great importance for us to learn and teach our kids how to evaluate ourselves (themselves) objectively (客观地). Inflated (膨胀的) self-judgments have been found in study after study. Usually, when we perform worst at a given task, we feel most satisfied with our performance. In a 2020 study published in the journal Medical Education, for example, medical students who scored the lowest on a test were the most sympathetic in their self-evaluations, while high-scoring students judged themselves much more strictly. Poor learners, the authors say, cannot realize their own inability. Why should this be? Another study offers an explanation. People who have a low level of ability suffer from a “dual burden”: they’re not good at what they do, and their inability prevents them from recognizing how bad they are. In Dunning’s study, participants scoring at the bottom on tests of logic, grammar and humor “extremely overestimated (高估)” their talents. Although their test scores put them in the 62nd, they guessed they were in the 12th. What these individuals didn’t have was “metacognitive skill” (元认知技巧) : the ability to monitor how well (or badly) they’re performing. Without that ability, the participants arrived at an overly hopeful view of their own abilities. Luckily, there are a couple of ways to deal with it. First, we can learn to make honest comparisons with others. Train yourself to recognize excellence, even when you don’t have it. Then compare what you can do with what excellent people are able to do. Second, often ask others for opinions and try to make sure they are correct and specific. Find someone who will tell you not only how poorly you’re doing, but also what you’re doing wrong. If we use these ways—and most importantly, teach them to our children—they won’t need parents, or a graduation ceremony speaker, to tell them whether they’re special or not. If they are, they’ll already know that they are. Or they’ll have a plan to get that way. 35.Why does the writer mention David McCullough’s speech at the beginning of the passage? A.To introduce the problem of wrong self-view. B.To show the anger of parents at the ceremony. C.To discuss what makes a person truly special. D.To criticize the wrong ideas of an English teacher. 36.The underlined word “sympathetic” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_”. A.serious B.negative C.honest D.kind 37.What can we learn from the passage? A.The test of logic itself can tell if participants have “meta-cognitive skill”. B.We make honest comparisons with others in order to do better than them. C.The opinions of others may help us better understand our actual performance. D.The medical students in the 2020 study couldn’t recognize excellence in others. 38.What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A.To explain what “meta-cognitive skill” is and how to develop it. B.To stress the need for objective self-evaluation and offer solutions. C.To introduce studies on self-judgment and ways to accept ourselves. D.To discuss why we view ourselves as below-average and offer advice. C Mia, a student who had always struggled with a strong fear of public speaking, found even the simple task of reading aloud in class to be a terrible nightmare. However, she had a great talent for drawing, a hobby that provided her with a quiet escape. When the school announced a poster contest, the winner of which would have their work shown to the public, Mia felt a strong wish to take part, yet her worry threatened to stop her. It was her friend Elena who, seeing Mia’s ability, gave her the support she needed, asking her to believe in her own skills. With Elena’s strong support, Mia worked hard to create a beautiful poster showing the city’s old bridge at sunset. Although she felt proud when she finished it, her hands shook with nervousness as she gave her work to Mr. Harris, the art teacher. A week later, he called her to his office, where he gave her the wonderful news that she had won first place. However, this win was soon followed by another, more difficult challenge: as the winner, she was asked to give a short speech at the coming award ceremony. The familiar feeling of fear threatened to overcome her, but remembering Elena’s encouraging words, Mia made a firm decision not to let her worry control her this time. On the day of the ceremony, as Mia stood on the stage with her legs shaking, it was the sight of Elena and Mr. Harris smiling warmly from the audience that gave her the strength to go on. Collecting her courage, she spoke with surprising clarity and confidence about her art, and when she finished, the room filled with applause. In that moment, Mia understood an important truth: true courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the decision to act even though you are afraid. And for her, every moment of fear had been worth the success. 39.What does the word “nightmare” mean in paragraph 1? A.午睡 B.噩梦 C.夜行动物 D.睡前故事 40.What did Elena do to help Mia? A.She drew the poster for Mia. B.She told Mr. Harris to give Mia a good grade. C.She encouraged Mia to believe in herself. D.She promised to give the speech for Mia. 41.How did Mia probably feel after she gave her speech? A.She felt proud and happy that she had overcome her fear. B.She felt even more afraid than before. C.She regretted her decision to join the contest. D.She was angry with Elena for encouraging her. 42.What is the main lesson Mia learned from her experience? A.Winning contests is the most important thing. B.It’s better to be safe than to take risks. C.You should never care about what other people think. D.True courage is facing your fears, not avoiding them. D Being creative can keep people young Creative activities can slow brain aging, a new study shows. An international team of researchers studied 1,400 participants from 13 countries—covering groups like part-time watercolor painters in Japan, part-time folk musicians in Brazil, beginner video gamers in the U.S., and even community theater actors in Germany. These volunteers cover a range from total newcomers (like a 62-year-old man who’d just started learning calligraphy) to experienced experts (such as a 78-year-old jazz pianist with 50 years of performance experience). To measure brain health, researchers scanned (扫描) their brains using MRI technology and had them take a series of cognitive (认知的) tests, including memory quizzes (recalling a list of 10 words after 30 minutes) and problem-solving tasks. _ People who spent at least 2 hours a week on creative activities had “brain ages” that were an average of 4.3 years younger than those who seldom joined in such activities. This effect was even stronger for tango dancers in Argentina: their brain scans showed an average 7-year gap between their biological age and their brain’s functional age (脑功能年龄), with one 71-year-old dancer scoring as well as a 64-year-old on memory tests. Even small participation brought benefits. For example, a 58-year-old teacher in Canada who only painted watercolor paintings on weekends (about 3 hours a month) still had a brain age 1.8 years younger than people of her age who stuck to non-active hobbies like watching TV. The scientists behind the study noted that creative activities combine multiple (多种的) brain functions and social connections, which may explain their protective effect. They suggested that doing creative things is a low-cost, practical way to support brain health: for instance, a 2022 survey in the UK found that 68% of seniors who joined weekly craft classes reported better memory after 6 months. “Our societies need to think about healthy aging through both medical and non-medical ways, such as creativity, art, and play,” said Agustin Ibanez, one of the study’s authors. “A 70-year-old who takes up pottery isn’t just making mugs—they’re giving their brain a workout that keeps it active for years.” 43.What do the participants in paragraph 1 have in common? A.All participants were experts in creative activities. B.Participants had different levels of creative experience. C.Only elderly people joined the international study. D.Creative activities were limited to painting and music. 44.Which of the following can be put in _? A.Some loved the tests a lot. B.However, they are not enough. C.The results were shocking. D.Times are different now. 45.Which activity in the following picture is a creative one? A. B. C. D. 46.According to the scientists, why do creative activities protect brain health? A.They only need people to focus on one brain function. B.They link multiple brain functions and social interaction. C.They are expensive but effective ways for brain training. D.They can make people’s memories perfect in a short time. 47.What is the writing purpose of Agustin Ibanez’s words in the last paragraph? A.To explain why pottery is a popular hobby. B.To show that creative activities are just for the arts. C.To point out that creative activities can keep the brain active. D.To compare medical and non-medical ways of aging. E The duty(职责)of doctors is simple: go where the patients are. But in the past, it was not easy to achieve this because national borders got in the way. 48 Doctors Without Borders is also known by its French name, Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF). 49 At the time, more than 300 volunteers joined the organization: doctors, nurses, and others, including 13 reporters. They considered that the medical needs of people were more important than national borders. Nothing should prevent them from receiving health care. 50 At the awards ceremony(颁奖典礼), Dr.James Orbinski, president of MSF at that time, called on more people to learn about MSF and care about people in need of medical care. “We are not sure that words can save lives, but we do know that silence can kill,”said Orbinski. Now, MSF has 24 offices around the world. 51 They provide necessary care for victims of natural disasters, diseases and wars. For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic, teams from MSF care for COVID-19 patients in treatment centers and hospitals. 52 With their help, people do better in preventing the spread of the diseases. A.It was set up in December 1971. B.They also offer health education and support. C.That’s why Doctors Without Borders was created. D.On December 10,1999, MSF won the Nobel Peace Prize. E.On February 11,2020,WHO named this disease COVID-19. F.The doctors tried their best to cure the patients around the world. G.When a disaster breaks out in the world, the organization is usually there to help. 四、任务型阅读 Liu Yan is a girl who has just finished high school. On June 9, 2025, after the Gaokao, her mother came to pick her up from school. To help carry all her baggage (行李), her mother brought a shoulder pole (扁担) from home, Guanyang, Guangxi. “At first, my mom wanted to carry it, but I didn’t want her to carry the heavy baggage,” she said. So, she took the pole herself while her mom carried the lighter bags. Liu’s picture with the pole soon became popular online, people called her “shoulder pole girl”, and she was surprised by the attention she got. “I was just moving my things.

Her father and brother work far away, and her mother stays at home to farm and take care of her. “We can be together as a family during the New Year,” Liu smiled.

What is a Budget?
To put it simply, a budget is a practical plan that helps us manage how we earn, save and spend our money wisely. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a leader in the government planning billions of yuan to keep the country running smoothly, or a middle school student working out how long to save for a new video game that costs around 400 yuan, the basic idea is the same: Making a budget is the best way to take control of your money and avoid waste.
How can a budget help me?
Have you ever wondered why your monthly pocket money runs out in just two weeks? Or regretted spending 70% of your birthday money on snacks and online game skins, only to find you can’t afford the sports shoes or storybooks you really wanted?
▲ Research shows that when teenagers have the same income every week, those who use a budget can save 30% more each month than those who don’t. This shows that budgeting helps young people manage their money better, allowing them to reach saving goals — such as buying a Nintendo Switch, Nike Kobe sneakers, or a Giant bicycle. More importantly, learning budgeting is also good for students’ future. Studies show that people who learned to budget in their teens are 65% more likely to avoid debt (债务) in adulthood, when they have to pay for higher costs like rent, bills and supermarket shopping.
How do I make a budget?
Get a pen and paper and start by writing down all your incomes. This could be your regular pocket money, or extra earnings for helping out with the housework each week. Add these up to get your total monthly incomes. Next, list your outgoings — the money you spend regularly. Maybe you buy a cup of milk tea every week or a new game DLC each month. Add these up to get your total monthly outgoings.
When you take your outgoings away from your incomes, you’ll see how much you have left to save or spend freely. It’s wise to save at least 20% of the money left, especially if you’re expecting to buy something special. Your budget will help you see how much you can save each week and how long it will take to reach your goal. You might then decide to spend less or think about ways to earn more so that you can reach your goal faster.

“Do not get the idea that you’re anything special, because you’re not.” This is what English teacher David McCullough told graduates at Wellesley High School. Mothers and fathers present at the ceremony (典礼) disagreed with McCullough’s words. But in all that anger and disagreement, we missed something we really should keep in mind: our young people actually have no idea whether they’re really talented or not. In our hope to build their confidence, we forgot to teach them how to correctly evaluate (评估) their own abilities. In fact, it’s not just these high-school students: we all tend to view ourselves as above-average. Therefore, it is of great importance for us to learn and teach our kids how to evaluate ourselves (themselves) objectively (客观地).
Inflated (膨胀的) self-judgments have been found in study after study. Usually, when we perform worst at a given task, we feel most satisfied with our performance. In a 2020 study published in the journal Medical Education, for example, medical students who scored the lowest on a test were the most sympathetic in their self-evaluations, while high-scoring students judged themselves much more strictly. Poor learners, the authors say, cannot realize their own inability. Why should this be? Another study offers an explanation. People who have a low level of ability suffer from a “dual burden”: they’re not good at what they do, and their inability prevents them from recognizing how bad they are.
In Dunning’s study, participants scoring at the bottom on tests of logic, grammar and humor “extremely overestimated (高估)” their talents. Although their test scores put them in the 62nd, they guessed they were in the 12th. What these individuals didn’t have was “metacognitive skill” (元认知技巧) : the ability to monitor how well (or badly) they’re performing. Without that ability, the participants arrived at an overly hopeful view of their own abilities.
Luckily, there are a couple of ways to deal with it. First, we can learn to make honest comparisons with others. Train yourself to recognize excellence, even when you don’t have it. Then compare what you can do with what excellent people are able to do. Second, often ask others for opinions and try to make sure they are correct and specific. Find someone who will tell you not only how poorly you’re doing, but also what you’re doing wrong.
If we use these ways—and most importantly, teach them to our children—they won’t need parents, or a graduation ceremony speaker, to tell them whether they’re special or not. If they are, they’ll already know that they are. Or they’ll have a plan to get that way.
35.Why does the writer mention David McCullough’s speech at the beginning of the passage?
A.To introduce the problem of wrong self-view.
B.To show the anger of parents at the ceremony.
C.To discuss what makes a person truly special.
D.To criticize the wrong ideas of an English teacher.
36.The underlined word “sympathetic” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.
A.serious B.negative C.honest D.kind
37.What can we learn from the passage?
A.The test of logic itself can tell if participants have “meta-cognitive skill”.
B.We make honest comparisons with others in order to do better than them.
C.The opinions of others may help us better understand our actual performance.
D.The medical students in the 2020 study couldn’t recognize excellence in others.
38.What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A.To explain what “meta-cognitive skill” is and how to develop it.
B.To stress the need for objective self-evaluation and offer solutions.
C.To introduce studies on self-judgment and ways to accept ourselves.
D.To discuss why we view ourselves as below-average and offer advice.

Mia, a student who had always struggled with a strong fear of public speaking, found even the simple task of reading aloud in class to be a terrible nightmare. However, she had a great talent for drawing, a hobby that provided her with a quiet escape.
When the school announced a poster contest, the winner of which would have their work shown to the public, Mia felt a strong wish to take part, yet her worry threatened to stop her. It was her friend Elena who, seeing Mia’s ability, gave her the support she needed, asking her to believe in her own skills.
With Elena’s strong support, Mia worked hard to create a beautiful poster showing the city’s old bridge at sunset. Although she felt proud when she finished it, her hands shook with nervousness as she gave her work to Mr. Harris, the art teacher. A week later, he called her to his office, where he gave her the wonderful news that she had won first place.
However, this win was soon followed by another, more difficult challenge: as the winner, she was asked to give a short speech at the coming award ceremony. The familiar feeling of fear threatened to overcome her, but remembering Elena’s encouraging words, Mia made a firm decision not to let her worry control her this time.
On the day of the ceremony, as Mia stood on the stage with her legs shaking, it was the sight of Elena and Mr. Harris smiling warmly from the audience that gave her the strength to go on. Collecting her courage, she spoke with surprising clarity and confidence about her art, and when she finished, the room filled with applause.
In that moment, Mia understood an important truth: true courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the decision to act even though you are afraid. And for her, every moment of fear had been worth the success.
39.What does the word “nightmare” mean in paragraph 1?

B.She felt even more afraid than before.
C.She regretted her decision to join the contest.
D.She was angry with Elena for encouraging her.
42.What is the main lesson Mia learned from her experience?

C.You should never care about what other people think.
D.True courage is facing your fears, not avoiding them.

Being creative can keep people young
Creative activities can slow brain aging, a new study shows. An international team of researchers studied 1,400 participants from 13 countries—covering groups like part-time watercolor painters in Japan, part-time folk musicians in Brazil, beginner video gamers in the U.S., and even community theater actors in Germany. These volunteers cover a range from total newcomers (like a 62-year-old man who’d just started learning calligraphy) to experienced experts (such as a 78-year-old jazz pianist with 50 years of performance experience).
To measure brain health, researchers scanned (扫描) their brains using MRI technology and had them take a series of cognitive (认知的) tests, including memory quizzes (recalling a list of 10 words after 30 minutes) and problem-solving tasks. ________ People who spent at least 2 hours a week on creative activities had “brain ages” that were an average of 4.3 years younger than those who seldom joined in such activities. This effect was even stronger for tango dancers in Argentina: their brain scans showed an average 7-year gap between their biological age and their brain’s functional age (脑功能年龄), with one 71-year-old dancer scoring as well as a 64-year-old on memory tests.
Even small participation brought benefits. For example, a 58-year-old teacher in Canada who only painted watercolor paintings on weekends (about 3 hours a month) still had a brain age 1.8 years younger than people of her age who stuck to non-active hobbies like watching TV.
The scientists behind the study noted that creative activities combine multiple (多种的) brain functions and social connections, which may explain their protective effect. They suggested that doing creative things is a low-cost, practical way to support brain health: for instance, a 2022 survey in the UK found that 68% of seniors who joined weekly craft classes reported better memory after 6 months.
“Our societies need to think about healthy aging through both medical and non-medical ways, such as creativity, art, and play,” said Agustin Ibanez, one of the study’s authors. “A 70-year-old who takes up pottery isn’t just making mugs—they’re giving their brain a workout that keeps it active for years.”
43.What do the participants in paragraph 1 have in common?
A.All participants were experts in creative activities.
B.Participants had different levels of creative experience.
C.Only elderly people joined the international study.
D.Creative activities were limited to painting and music.
44.Which of the following can be put in ________?
A.Some loved the tests a lot. B.However, they are not enough.
C.The results were shocking. D.Times are different now.
45.Which activity in the following picture is a creative one?
A. B.
C. D.
46.According to the scientists, why do creative activities protect brain health?
A.They only need people to focus on one brain function.
B.They link multiple brain functions and social interaction.
C.They are expensive but effective ways for brain training.
D.They can make people’s memories perfect in a short time.
47.What is the writing purpose of Agustin Ibanez’s words in the last paragraph?
A.To explain why pottery is a popular hobby.
B.To show that creative activities are just for the arts.
C.To point out that creative activities can keep the brain active.
D.To compare medical and non-medical ways of aging.

The duty(职责)of doctors is simple: go where the patients are. But in the past, it was not easy to achieve this because national borders got in the way. 48
Doctors Without Borders is also known by its French name, Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF). 49 At the time, more than 300 volunteers joined the organization: doctors, nurses, and others, including 13 reporters. They considered that the medical needs of people were more important than national borders. Nothing should prevent them from receiving health care.
50 At the awards ceremony(颁奖典礼), Dr.James Orbinski, president of MSF at that time, called on more people to learn about MSF and care about people in need of medical care. “We are not sure that words can save lives, but we do know that silence can kill,”said Orbinski.
Now, MSF has 24 offices around the world. 51 They provide necessary care for victims of natural disasters, diseases and wars. For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic, teams from MSF care for COVID-19 patients in treatment centers and hospitals. 52 With their help, people do better in preventing the spread of the diseases.
A.It was set up in December 1971.
B.They also offer health education and support.
C.That’s why Doctors Without Borders was created.
D.On December 10,1999, MSF won the Nobel Peace Prize.
E.On February 11,2020,WHO named this disease COVID-19.
F.The doctors tried their best to cure the patients around the world.
G.When a disaster breaks out in the world, the organization is usually there to help.

Learning to Manage Myself
Good morning, everyone!
Self-management plays an important role in our life. It helps us form good habits, improve our studies and become responsible teenagers. Only by managing ourselves well can we make great progress and realize our dreams.
I once wasted plenty of time on mobile games. Later, I realized that self-management was the key to progress. I made careful daily plans to manage my time properly. I stuck to finishing all tasks on time and gave up those meaningless activities. Besides, I learned to control my feelings and focus on my goals. Gradually, I improved greatly.
Self-management shapes our future. Let’s take action from now on!
Thanks for listening!
