So I am often woken up from a 34 by them at noon. Sometimes, I will curiously put my head out to watch. Sonia covered the older girl’s eyes, calling, “Jerry, Mike, have you hidden yourselves?” The boys replied, “We are 35 .” Sonia said to Linda, “You can’t peep (偷看)!” Linda replied, “Mom, I didn’t.” Sonia pushed Linda 36 forward and said, “Go, catch them now!” Linda stepped carefully, 37 her hands, and moved forward. “Linda, mind your 38 and don’t fall over.

But she winked (使眼色) at me and pulled me aside to 43 quietly. She said she took the three children from the orphanage (孤儿院) years ago. And the kids were 44 how to live in the neighborhood and how to go to school alone. Then I realized that the yard lines were used as the 45 of the community. “Now Linda is able to go to Hyde School alone.” Sonia said with great 46 . “Hyde? The school for the blind? You mean Linda is blind?” I was 47 . Sonia nodded, adding “Not only her, but Jerry and Mike are also soon going to Hyde School.” Then the children asked, “Mom, is watching movies more fun?” Sonia smiled at me. I said loudly, “Of course no, what can be more fun than hide-and-seek?” Walking out, I asked Sonia, “Sorry, but why do you 48 cover the children’s eyes during hide-and-seek?” Sonia said seriously, “In my eyes, they are like ordinary people, they can see everything!” 34.

I really want to leave for somewhere else! Do you think it works? Deep thinking, in 10 seconds. Now I need to give advice to a teenage girl, who tries to leave for somewhere angrily to run away from weekend classes. First, I should tell her that leaving home must be a wrong way. Next, I should suggest how to solve this problem in a right way. Also, I should try to comfort the girl so that she can calm down and make the right decisions. Hi, there. I know how mad you feel but it won’t work. 1. Leaving Might Backfire Leaving home can really risk your safety! You may end up in dangerous situations. For example, you may have to sleep in unsafe places or trust wrong people who may put you in trouble. Besides, running away won’t make parents focus on weekend classes. Instead, it will scare them and they may make more rules or keep an eye on you out of fear. This will place more stress (压力) on you. 2. Try the Following Instead If face-to-face talks always end up with arguments, a letter will help. In the letter, you can show your feelings — “Too many classes really make me stressed out.” Or you can offer another choice — “Could I change the after-school math class into 2 hours’ self-study on Sundays?” Also, if you find communication with your parents is really hard, ask a trusted aunt or a teacher to help express your opinions to them. They might listen to another adult. Change often takes time, so keep communicating in a right way. Remember, your feelings are understandable, but your safety matters most. And if you keep feeling upset, turn to your teachers, a school counselor, or someone else you trust. There is always someone willing to listen to you. 52. How many steps does DeepSeek plan to take before it replies? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 53. Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “Backfire”? A. He realized that someone set a fire to his house and he lost everything. B. If she takes the lessons that she enjoys, her eyes will just be full of fire. C. They opened fire first! We must fire back to get a way out, or we’ll die! D. Give up your silly plan because it won’t work and will add oil to the fire! 54. According to DeepSeek, what could Sarah say to her parents as another choice? A. “Could I not go to any class on weekends?” B. “I will leave home if you take me to any class.” C. “You can choose to be parents for another girl!” D. “Could I pick the weekend classes that I enjoy?” 55. From the underlined sentence, Deepseek wants Sarah to ______. A. Trust every real person she meets. B. Communicate with other real persons. C. Talk with another AI like ChatGPT. D. Listen to someone else more carefully. C Have you ever heard of or taken the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)? With 93 questions, the test separates all of the different people in the world into 16 types. There are many other personality tests in the world, but the MBTI is perhaps the most popular one. More than 1.5 million people take it every year. Some companies even use it to help choose suitable workers. However, the MBTI can’t truly measure (衡量) changeable personality. The test, after all, was created in the early days of psychological (心理学的) research. Its creators, Katharine Briggs and her daughter Isabel, were not trained psychologists. What’s more, the two were unable to scientifically prove their findings. “There is just no evidence behind the MBTI.” said Adam Grant, an American psychologist. If the MBTI is not trustable, then how has this test managed to become so popular? To answer this question, we need to find out what drove Briggs and her daughter to create it in the first place. Briggs was a mother. After reading Carl Jung’s Psychological Types, she decided to create a tool to help parents understand their children’s interests. Her daughter Isabel continued to work on the MBTI in the 1940s and started using it among workers. Some personality tests would separate people into two groups: those who were good and those who were bad. However, Isable thought it was unfair. When creating her test, she wanted everyone to be able to understand that while people may be different from one another, they are all equal. This may be the key to the MBTI’s success: The test never paints a personality hopelessly. The MBTI may not be the best way for measuring if a person is suitable for a position at a company, but this doesn’t mean it’s totally useless. Many people are hungry for self-knowledge. 56. What can we learn about personality tests? A. Over 1.5 million people take personality tests every year. B. Companies use them to know more about workers’ hobbies. C. They started to be used by people as early as the 1940s. D. Some personality tests only separate people into two types. 57. The underlined word “evidence” means ______. A. True facts. B. True supporters. C. Real competitions. D. Real success. 58. “The MBTI just offers that in a nice way” could best be placed at the end of ______. A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph 2 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 4 59. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To advise people to take the MBTI. B. To tell why Briggs began the MBTI. C. To show the popularity of the MBTI. D. To make people know more about MBTI. D The children wanted to hold a birthday celebration for Mr. Perks. When sharing the idea with the villagers, everyone happily agreed to help. The villagers were willing to prepare their own gifts for him. The poorly paid station worker had always been kind to everyone in the village and never accepted rewards. Besides, he often fixed broken toys for the children. When Mother heard their plan, she agreed but reminded them, “True kindness shows respect and should never make the receiver feel embarrassed.” Then the children went around the village collecting small gifts for Mr. Perks. Each villager remembered his kindness. When they brought the gifts to Mr. Perks’ little house, his wife cried happily, “This will be Perks’ best birthday!” As Mr. Perks came home, the children quickly hid in the wash-house. Then Bobbie realized a big problem — she forgot to put names on each gift! Now Mr. Perks might think all the gifts were from the children. It seemed that they had spent all money on him to show off their generosity, exactly what Mother had warned them not to do. Soon they heard the voice of Mr. Perks, loud and rather angry: “I won’t accept charity!” Then Mr. Perks found the children in the wash-house. He rushed to the door and pushed it open hard. “Come out,” said Mr. Perks, “come out and tell me what you mean by it.” “Oh!” said Phyllis, “I thought you’d be happy.” “We didn’t mean any harm,” said Peter. “But you did hurt me,” said Mr. Perks. “These aren’t just from us,” Peter explained. “The whole village gave them because you’ve helped everyone!” “Then why shame me before the whole village?” Mr. Perks shouted. With shaking fingers, Bobbie pulled out the notes they’d prepared. She read them one by one: (1) From Mother: “Only giving some old clothes because Mr. Perks has been so kind; I can’t do much because we’re poor ourselves.” (2) From the Blacksmith: “Made this tool special for a respected man.” (3)…. Mrs. Perks cried, “They’re not pity gifts, dear. They’re thanks.” After a long silence, Mr. Perks’ serious look softened. “Well… can’t say no to kindness,” he said quietly, “the kind respect of our neighbours is worth having, right?” 60. Why did the children celebrate Mr. Perks’ birthday? A. To show off generosity. B. To give back his kindness. C. To get gifts from villagers. D. To follow their mother’s plan. 61. What does the underlined word “embarrassed” mean? A. Excited. B. Cheerful. C. Uncomfortable. D. Impatient. 62. Why did Mr. Perks refuse the gifts at first? A. He thought the children had spent all money on him. B. He hated surprises and preferred simple celebrations. C. He mistook the gifts just for charity instead of thanks. D. He hoped for some wonderful and unusual birthday gifts. 63. Which of the following shows the right order of the story? a. The children hid. b. Mr. Perks accepted the gifts. c. The children collected gifts. d. Mrs. Perks explained. e. Mr. Perks shouted at the children. A. a-c-e-b-d B. a-c-e-d-b C. c-a-d-e-b D. c-a-e-d-b 64. What is the best title for this story? A. Expensive gifts. B. Generous children. C. A special celebration. D. A poor station worker. 五、信息还原（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并将选项填涂在答题纸相应的位置上。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Do you have braces (牙箍)? If not, you probably know someone who does. Braces are a way of improving how teeth look and how they work. The metal wires work by putting pressure (压力) on the teeth. 65 The rubber bands help to keep the alignment (排列) of your teeth in order. Working together, the wires and rubber bands straighten your teeth and line them up. 66 Some can’t wait to get them because they know that braces will improve their smile. Others talk about how braces will change how they look. Many are afraid of being uncomfortable. It’s okay to have these worries. 67 In fact, braces are just tools that dentists use to make your teeth in order. Teeth don’t always grow straight, but braces can help correct their positions. Braces used to be made of thick metal that was very easy to notice. Thanks to the modern development, they can go on the back of your teeth. 68 Most kids wear braces for only a few years. After the braces are taken off, they may have to wear a retainer (保持器) for a while. 69 In this way, their teeth will fit into their new positions. Finally, they will be able to throw the retainer away and have a brighter smile! A. It’s necessary for kids to have braces. B. Different kids have different feelings about braces. C. With their help, teeth can move in the right direction. D. And they are less noticeable in this way. E. But kids with braces have no reason to worry. F. This makes sure the teeth don’t go back. 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题，共60分） 六、词汇（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） 请认真阅读下面短文，根据语篇内容或中文提示，在空白处填入括号内单词的正确形式或时态，使短文通顺、连贯。 A The Luban Pillow (枕头) is a special type of pillow that comes from China and has been used for a long time. It is named after Lu Ban, a famous Chinese carpenter and inventor. It (70) ▲ (make) of strong wood and has a special shape. It is designed (71) ▲ (help) people enjoy a comfortable sleep. People can change its (72) ▲ (high) to offer a proper support for their neck and head. Also, it prevents their necks from (73) ▲ (hurt) because of bad sleeping positions. Moreover, it can also be used as a small stool (凳子). The Luban Pillow is not only useful but also important in Chinese culture. Many people believe that using it can help stay healthy and bring them good (74) ▲ (lucky), That’s why it’s a popular choice for those who want a good night’s sleep and a connection to tradition. In a word, the Luban Pillow is a special and (75) ▲ (mean) thing that is more than just a pillow. Whether you are in need of a practical pillow or (76) ▲ (interest) in Chinese history, the Luban Pillow is a great choice for your home.

Is it possible that you’ve been looking at math in the wrong way? (98) ▲ A beautiful shell Many people today want to have beautiful looks. But there is math hidden in beautiful human bodies. How long is it from your head to your belly button (肚脐眼) and how long is it from your belly button to your feet? The ratio (比例) of these two numbers is always around 0.618. This is the golden ratio, which can be seen everywhere, like in nature, music and paintings. Even in Chinese poems, we can also see the beauty of numbers. Li Bai once wrote, “My boat has left ten thousand mountains far away.” The number shows how fast Li Bai travelled and how happy he felt. Numbers give us the freedom to imagine. Beauty in Curves (曲线) Besides numbers, beauty can also be found in curves. Just like sine curves, they go to the two opposite directions and never stop. When you look at them, you may feel like standing by the sea and watching the water moving slowly. The tangent curve is like a waterfall, which truly “plunges three thousand feet from on high”. If you do a math problem and get that curve, you’ll feel excited — and even have fun. Beauty in Formulas (公式) The number “e” is an irrational number (无理数). It goes on forever without repeating. “π” is also such an irrational number. However, when those two numbers come together, they can turn into a natural number. Is it surprising for you that many jobs need math? Photographers may use the golden ratio rule to take pictures.
