Allowing 应用文： Dear Chris, Glad to hear that you’re interested in Chinese history. Personally, I would recommend starting with popular history books. My reasons are as follows. First, they explain historical events and figures in a clear and accessible manner, making them ideal for beginners. Second, enriched with vivid stories and fascinating details, they can bring history to life and make reading more enjoyable. As for reading advice, you can start with books about major dynasties and influential historical figures to gain a general understanding of China’s past. Once you have built a solid foundation, you may move on to academic history books for deeper insights. Hope you enjoy your reading! Yours, Li Hua 读后续写： Possible version 1: Just then, a minibus stopped before Ethan. Out of the minibus jumped Coach Schultz and the kids from the team. Ethan stared in shock, and then his face lit up — he hadn’t expected them to come. Coach Schultz dashed towards Ethan, knelt down and declared, “The whole team’s heard about your situation. They can’t wait to lend a hand. A team helps each other, right?” The kids split up: some shook corn buckets to attract Zeke, others blocked the woods. Soon, Zeke bounced over, and ultimately Ethan tied the rope tightly, relieved. “Thanks, but sorry this took so much of our warm-up time,” Ethan said guiltily. Patting him on the shoulder, the coach burst into laughter and uttered, “Chasing the goat is definitely a perfect way to warm-up — it has really fired everyone up! Besides, it is responsibility and cooperation that make a remarkable team.” The team cheered, applauding for themselves and hurried to the minibus with Zeke safely led back. As the bus drove off, Ethan smiled proudly and confidently. An unshakable inner voice told him that with this team, he could handle anything, even his very first pitch. Possible version2 : Just then, a minibus stopped before Ethan. To his surprise, Coach Schultz jumped out with a broad smile, followed by the entire team! “We figured you might need some backup,” Coach Schultz said, holding up a rope. Without hesitation, the kids spread out in a semicircle, gently driving Zeke toward Ethan. With corn in hand, Ethan shook the bucket, and Zeke, tempted by the treat, came closer. In one swift move, Ethan looped the rope around Zeke’s neck. A cheer erupted from the team as they successfully caught the runaway goat. They carefully led Zeke back to the barn and secured the gate. “Thanks, but sorry this took so much of our warm-up time,” Ethan said guiltily. Coach Schultz patted his shoulder warmly. “Teamwork isn’t just about baseball—it’s about showing up for each other when it matters.” The boys nodded in agreement. Although they arrived late and missed some warm-up, something felt different on the field that day. Every pitch Ethan threw seemed to carry the trust and support of his teammates. They didn’t win the match, but as they gathered afterward, Coach Schultz smiled. “Sometimes the best win isn’t on the scoreboard.” Ethan finally understood: being part of a team meant more than just playing together—it meant being there for one another, both on and off the field. 听力原文: Text 1 W: Hello, Jack. I was told that Mike is going to buy a new apartment. Is that true? M: Mike? I doubt it. What he earns is just enough to put his body and soul together.

My English teacher Mr Hubbard gave me a second chance to do my homework, and my computer teacher Ms Cross really liked the computer game I made. M: I wish I could say the same. My history teacher dislikes me, he says he is going to call my dad so I can’t play basketball. W: Who is your history teacher? M: Mr Cranston. W: Oh, he was really mean. Last year I had this same problem. I wrote an extra report, and he agreed not to call my parents. M: Yes, he is still really mean. He knows how much I like sport, and he is still going to call my dad. Do you think he’ll do that for me? W: I don’t know, but you should try. M: You’re right. I’ll ask him. Text 8 M: Hi, Linda.

We went back to work the next day. Ah, here comes my bus. M: Listen, I’d love to help celebrate. Why don’t you two come over for a drink next week? W: Sure, we’d love to. I’ll talk to John and call you Monday. M: Great. See you next week. W: Bye. Text 9 M: Hey, Jenny. It’s Harold. Have you seen the independence job pages today? There’s an advertisement for a PR coordinator at Systéme. W: Systéme? Wasn’t that the company on the stand next to us at last month’s fashion fair? M: Yes, that’s the one. W: What are they asking for? M: A degree with two years’ experience in PR, so that’s okay? You’re a graduate and you’ve been working here more than two years, haven’t you? W: Yes, and I worked at L’Oreal before I came here. M: So your French is excellent, of course? W: Well, of course. What does the advert say about the actual job? M: Let’s see ... Coordinating product launches, contacting with editors, writing articles for the media, and planning PR strategies. Oh! And developing a website, you could do all that. W: Well, I don’t know a thing about websites, but the rest sounds really interesting. M: It would be more about the ideas for the site. I’ll tell you what. I’ll email the page to you, and why don’t you read it yourself? I would apply if I were you. You’re always saying how bored you’re here. W: Okay. I’ll have a look at it, and we can talk about it at lunch time. Text 10 Good afternoon, everyone!

Early in my teaching career, students complained about my accent, and my department chair once summed up my performance: Dr. Sun was a good teacher, but he had an accent. Even my children urged me to try harder. “Anything can be done,” they insisted. The unspoken accusation was clear: If I still sounded foreign, I wasn’t trying hard enough. What neither of them knew was that biology had already cast the die. There is a term for the firm influence of one’s mother tongue: imprinting, an early, mostly unchangeable form of learning. The idea first entered science through the brilliance of Konrad Lorenz, who famously persuaded newly hatched goslings (小鹅) to follow him as if he were their mother. At the time, imprinting was mostly treated as an animal curiosity. Its deeper relevance to humans took longer to sink in. Decades of research since then have reinforced the point. Human brains pass through a critical period for language acquisition. During childhood, neural (神经的) circuits are finely tuned to absorb sounds and accents. Later, those circuits become less flexible, not because adults are lazy, but because gene expression changes with age. This is why children can pick up a new language without an accent, while adults, no matter how dedicated, cannot. I stopped fighting this biological limit and focused on areas imprinting does not control: word choice, sentence structure and rhythm. Something unexpected happened — my English writing improved greatly, and I even began writing books in English. Biology does not write our future, but it does draw boundaries. That is why we abandon many childhood dreams: basketball for being too short, soccer for starting too late. Ignoring them, we trip up. Understanding them, we can work around them. The best kind of confidence is not the belief that you can do anything. It is the wisdom to know what you cannot do, and the discipline to stop wasting precious time trying to prove otherwise. 24. What did the author’s children accuse him of? A. Showing off his pronunciation. B. Not trying hard to drop his accent. C. Speaking with an accent in class. D. Refusing to learn standard English. 25. What does the underlined phrase “cast the die” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Delayed the process. B. Unlocked the potential. C. Improved the situation. D. Determined the outcome. 26. What makes it hard for adults to learn a foreign language without an accent? A. Mental laziness. B. Learning habits. C. Biological changes. D. Genetic patterns. 27. What does the author intend to tell us? A. Play to your strengths. B. It’s never too late to learn. C. Man can conquer nature. D. Early bird catches the worm. C In recent years, to monitor biodiversity and perceive how changes in ecosystems affect migratory (迁徙的) routes, researchers and conservationists have focused on tracking migratory bird populations worldwide. These birds, which travel thousands of kilometers between breeding and wintering grounds, face numerous threats, including habitat loss, climate change, and human activities. Using state-of-the-art satellite technology, scientists have managed to collect large datasets on bird movements, providing crucial insights into their migratory patterns and potential risks. However, despite the abundance of tracking data, a recent study from the University of Cambridge underscores that significant gaps in our understanding of many species still exist. “While we have a vast amount of tracking data, we often overlook smaller migratory species or those that travel less popular routes,” explains Dr. Emma Lewis, the study’s lead author. “Our reliance on satellite tags has also led us to focus mainly on larger species that can carry the weight of the tracking devices, leaving smaller birds, which are often just as vulnerable, underrepresented in our data.” The study examined data from over a million tracking records of migratory birds and identified several areas with limited information. Birds from remote areas, for instance, were much less likely to be tracked due to accessibility issues. Additionally, there was a strong bias (偏见) toward species that are already of high interest to the public, such as eagles or storks, rather than smaller, less prominent birds. Dr. Lewis and her team believe this bias could lead to conservation resources being disproportionately allocated to certain species while neglecting others that may be equally at risk. To address these issues, Dr. Lewis suggests expanding tracking efforts to include more diverse bird populations. “By collaborating with local researchers and investing in lighter, more efficient tracking technology, we can gather data on a broader range of species,” she explains. “Encouraging birdwatchers to report sightings of less common migratory birds could fill current data gaps and offer a more comprehensive image of global migratory patterns.” This combined approach can ensure future conservation efforts are better informed and more inclusive, ultimately contributing to the protection of all migratory bird species. 28. What’s the main issue with current migratory bird tracking? A. Heavily relying on large datasets. B. Ignoring short-distance migrations. C. Primarily tracking larger bird species. D. Focusing on migration in breeding seasons. 29. What is the researchers’ concern about conservation resources? A. Uneven allocation to certain species. B. Desperate shortage in popular routes. C. Rare accessibility to larger bird species. D. Irresponsible overuse in remote habitats. 30. How does Dr. Lewis suggest improving bird migration data? A. Limit resources to high-profile species. B. Launch new programs for endangered species. C. Enhance tracking methods for prominent bird species. D. Engage the public in observing underrepresented birds. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Tracking Bird Migration Worldwide B. Hidden Gaps in Migratory Bird Research C. New Technologies for Wildlife Protection D. Saving Endangered Birds Through Satellite Tags D Energy efficiency improvements, such as the widespread adoption of LED lighting, are widely promoted by policymakers as a primary strategy for reducing carbon emissions. However, a growing body of research indicates that a phenomenon known as the “rebound effect” could significantly weaken these efforts, potentially wiping out more than half of the expected energy savings and making global climate targets much harder to achieve. A research team led by Paul Brockway at the University of Leeds, UK, conducted a comprehensive review of existing literature on this topic. They analyzed 33 previous studies that modeled the impact of efficiency improvements. The team identified two main mechanisms: the direct rebound effect and the indirect rebound effect. The direct effect occurs when a consumer responds to increased efficiency by using more of the service — for example, driving further because a fuel-efficient car lowers the cost per mile. The indirect effect happens when money saved on energy is spent on other goods and services, which in turn require energy to produce and deliver. Despite the varied methodologies used in the original 33 studies, the results were remarkably consistent. The team concluded that, on average, the rebound effect negates approximately 63 percent of the anticipated energy savings. “We are not arguing that energy efficiency is ineffective,” clarifies Brockway. “Rather, the rebound effect needs to be taken more seriously in policy planning.” This concept echoes the Jevons paradox (悖论), named after economist William Stanley Jevons. In 1865, Jevons observed that technological improvements in coal efficiency led not to a reduction in coal consumption, but to an increase in overall demand as it became more economically affordable. If the rebound effect proves as substantial as this analysis suggests, future global energy demand will be higher than expected. This implies that the world will require far more renewable energy infrastructure and carbon-capture technology than currently planned. However, it doesn’t mean nothing can be done to limit the rebound effect. One potential solution is to intensify efforts: doubling down on energy efficiency to achieve the same net reduction in energy use. 32. Which best illustrates the indirect rebound effect? A. A driver buys a hybrid car and commutes longer distances. B. A company uses efficient machines to cut operational costs. C. A student saves on electricity and takes a cross-country flight. D. A family installs solar panels and sells extra power to the grid. 33. How did Paul Brockway’s team carry out their research? A. By interviewing economists. B. By analyzing former studies. C. By modeling the rebound effect. D. By debating about the Jevons paradox. 34. What would Paul Brockway probably agree with? A. Authorities should dismiss energy efficiency. B. Worldwide efforts to preserve energy are in vain. C. The rebound effect helps protect the environment. D. More attention should be paid to the rebound effect. 35. What’s the author’s attitude towards limiting the rebound effect? A. Positive. B. Pessimistic. C. Doubtful. D. Disapproving. 第二节（共5小题, 每小题2. 5分, 共12. 5分） 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Tips on Connecting With Your Family in the Car In our fast-paced world, quality time with family members is often the first thing we sacrifice. Due to last-minute work calls or running-late classes, Friday movie nights are canceled and Saturday outings are frequently postponed. 36 Both short school drives and long road trips can be transformed into valuable bonding experiences by being intentional. Remove digital distractions. Often, phones and tablets make every member stay in their own world. This creates a disconnected environment. 37 Use this time in the car to chat, observe the scenery, or simply enjoy shared silence, fostering an atmosphere where everyone can get fully involved. Start gentle and interesting conversations. 38 As a result, communication breaks down. Choosing light and positive topics like favorite things, funny stories or simple wishes is the key to keeping conversations flowing. Use open-ended questions like “Where would you choose if you could go anywhere?”. This encourages everyone to share more about their inner worlds. 39 Car rides need not be just about getting from A to B. They’re also a chance to share practical knowledge. When passing a gas station, talk to teens about budgeting. Upon spotting a road sign, explain to younger kids its meaning. Small exchanges spark curiosity and build practical wisdom for everyone. Create musical experiences. Road trips can be a painfully long stretch in the car. That’s where the magic of music — a powerful emotional connector — comes in. Allow each member to add a few of their favorite songs and create a family playlist together. During the trip, sing along to familiar tunes, or have silly family karaoke sessions. 40 Follow these tips and turn our next car trip into a lasting warm memory. A. Make good use of road signs. B. Turn long transportation into mini education. C. But what if we fully share the moments inside the car? D. Why not encourage everyone to put away all screens? E. These shared melodies help track your family’s highlights. F. Even Sunday trips are turned into family bonding occasions. G. Exchanges often fade or turn tense with grades and criticism. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 On a chilly Seattle afternoon, 68-year-old Margaret Hayes eagerly hurries to the community library. She isn’t there to read, but to 41 TechBridge — monthly lectures where seniors learn digital skills from teenagers. Margaret, who spent months recovering from a severe stroke, 42 needs mental stimulation. However, without basic tech knowledge, she lacks the 43 to navigate the internet on her own. “I was terrified to click on things. What if I 44 ?” she recalls. Through the program, she has learned to use voice-to-text software — a “new tool” helping her feel less 45 . The program 46 a growing digital divide. While 95% of Americans aged 18-50 use smartphones daily, 85% of those over 75 rarely go online. Many seniors 47 with simple tasks like video-calling family or booking medical appointments. As the center director points out, “For the elderly, going digital actually 48 them out of modern society.” The benefits extend both ways. Teen volunteers gain patience and 49 into a pre-digital world. “Talking to them is like opening a history book,” says 17-year-old volunteer Liam Chen. The 50 inspires him to design more 51 technology for older users. For participants like Margaret, the workshops 52 more than practical skills. They not only learn to navigate the digital world but also build meaningful 53 with younger generations. This simple yet powerful bridge across the technological gap 54 as a reminder that genuine connection depends on patience, understanding, and a mutual 55 to learn from one another — using the skills that truly matter to bring their worlds together. 41.

Dad.” Ethan burst out as he poured cereal (麦片) into a bowl, unable to contain his excitement. “I hope I don’t let Coach Schultz and the kids in the team down.” It was finally the inter-school match, and Ethan was going to be pitching (投球) for the first time in a real match. “Oh, you’ll do fine,” Dad comforted, “You’ve spent months running, pitching, and working on your mobility.” “Do you have time to feed the goats before you leave?” Dad asked “Sure.
