Illegal hunting, habitat breaking up, and conflicts with farm animals have left many wolves without parents or injured, unable to survive in the wild alone. On this deep volunteer programme, you will live and work at a respected wolf safe home located in the Carpathian Mountains. When you join Carpathian Wildlife, you will also receive: Welcome Pack — Your detailed welcome pack contains everything you must know about your position and area around you, ready for your review. Personal Guider — Assigned from an experienced group who have walked the same path and stand prepared to support you at every stage. Room & Food — Relax in your shared wooden cabin on the reserve, with internet access and a warm shared spirit, and enjoy rich Transylvanian dishes. Completion Certificate — Awarded to respect your commitment and hard work across the programme, a strong boost (助力) to your future career applications. Imagine this: Your mornings begin with various duties across the shelter. Tasks range from building fences, preparing raw meat, taking care of forest trails, or recording behavior observations. For the average traveller, glimpsing a wolf in its natural home ranks among life’s most treasured moments. Observing a wolf walk silently through the low plants is remarkable. Yet standing beside a wolf daily, and witnessing its confidence grow as it recovers from hurt, becomes an unforgettable chapter in your life. 1. What is a unique experience for volunteers in Romania?

D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了罗马尼亚狼群面临的困境，以及罗马尼亚喀尔巴阡山脉的灰狼保护志愿项目的相关内容，包括志愿者可获得的待遇、日常工作等，呼吁人们参与该志愿活动。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Illegal hunting, habitat breaking up, and conflicts with farm animals have left many wolves without parents or injured, unable to survive in the wild alone.(非法狩猎、栖息地的破坏以及与农场动物的冲突使许多狼失去了父母或受伤，无法独自在野外生存。)”以及最后一段中“Yet standing beside a wolf daily, and witnessing its confidence grow as it recovers from hurt, becomes an unforgettable chapter in your life.(然而，每天站在一只狼身边，看着它从伤害中恢复过来，信心不断增长，这将成为你生命中难忘的一章。)”可知，志愿者的独特体验是照顾这些流离失所、受伤的狼。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章中“Completion Certificate  — Awarded to respect your commitment and hard work across the programme, a strong boost (助力) to your future career applications.(结业证书——为表彰你在整个项目中的投入和努力颁发，对你未来的职业申请是很大的助力)”可知，志愿者完成项目可获得参与证书。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章标题“Volunteer with Wolves in Romania(罗马尼亚狼群志愿者)”、文章最后一句“Yet standing beside a wolf daily, and witnessing its confidence grow as it recovers from hurt, becomes an unforgettable chapter in your life.(然而，每天站在一只狼身边，看着它从伤害中恢复过来，信心不断增长，这将成为你生命中难忘的一章。)”并结合全文可知，文章介绍该志愿项目的背景（罗马尼亚灰狼现状）、志愿者营地食宿、向导、证书福利、日常工作，结尾用富有感染力的语言描述“standing beside a wolf daily”的难忘体验，整体语气具有号召性和吸引力，目的是鼓励读者报名参加这个志愿者项目。 B As a reporter, I had covered political news for over two decades, and I had thought I would continue until my career came to an end. My husband, David Chen, is a history expert. One autumn, he invited me to accompany him to a history conference. Most of the scholarly discussions went over my head, yet one speaker caught my ear. Margaret Holt, a researcher who explores ancient sailing, showed a technique demonstrating (展示) how Pacific Island sailors crossed vast oceans using only stars and wave patterns. During the coffee break, David introduced us. Holt and I spent nearly an hour discussing her findings and sea-related history. As we said goodbye, I laughed that if she ever needed an assistant with no experience, I would happily volunteer. Roughly six weeks later, a message arrived in my inbox: “Still waiting to hear from you. Have you signed up for the research programme?” And that was how, at 51, I became a part-time master’s student in the study of old things at sea. My understanding of the study of old things had grown weak over the years, so I had to master the basics quickly. It proved hard, yet I received great support from fellow researchers and David. The deeper I dug, the more I discovered how much remained hidden. Each article opened doors to ten more. It exhausted me, and occasionally frustrated me, yet it filled me with real excitement. You explore, question, and gradually the scattered pieces connect. Now, at 59, I am approaching the final stage. Fresh understanding transforms you, no matter what stage of life you have reached. My message is simple: if a chance appears to step into unfamiliar territory, seize it without hesitation. 4. What caught the author’s attention at the history conference? A. A heated political debate with other researchers. B. A historian sharing retirement plans for next years. C. A talk about ancient sailing methods in big rivers. D. A technique demonstrating Pacific Island sailing. 5. What can we infer from the message mentioned in Paragraph 2? A. Holt considered the author’s words as a sincere offer. B. The author often struggled with the research programme. C. The author was introduced to the programme by her husband. D. Holt discovered the author’s hidden gift for the study of old things. 6. How does the author find her experience of studying old things at sea? A. Relaxing and amusing. B. Exhausting and upsetting. C. Hard yet exciting. D. Dull but instructive. 7. What is the author’s purpose in sharing her story? A. To convince us that learning has no age limit. B. To stress the value of obtaining a master’s degree. C. To inspire us to develop an interest in history. D. To warn us against staying in one career too long. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】主要讲述从业二十多年的记者五十多岁转行攻读海洋古物硕士的经历，借此告诉读者抓住陌生领域新机遇，学习不受年龄限制。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Margaret Holt, a researcher who explores ancient sailing, showed a technique demonstrating (展示) how Pacific Island sailors crossed vast oceans using only stars and wave patterns.(研究古代航海的研究员玛格丽特·霍尔特展示了一项技术，演示太平洋岛屿水手仅依靠星辰与海浪纹路横渡广阔大洋的方法。)”可知，一场演示太平洋岛屿航海方式的讲解吸引了作者的注意。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“As we said goodbye, I laughed that if she ever needed an assistant with no experience, I would happily volunteer. Roughly six weeks later, a message arrived in my inbox: “Still waiting to hear from you. Have you signed up for the research programme?”(我们道别时，我开玩笑说，要是她哪天需要一名毫无经验的助手，我随时乐意自荐。大约六周后，我的收件箱收到一条消息：“还在等你的答复。你报名那个研究项目了吗？”)”可知，霍尔特把作者随口的玩笑话当成了真诚的主动申请。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“It proved hard, yet I received great support from fellow researchers and David.(这段工作确实十分艰辛，但我得到了其他研究人员与戴维的鼎力相助。)”以及“It exhausted me, and occasionally frustrated me, yet it filled me with real excitement.(它耗尽了我的精力，偶尔也令我倍感挫败，却也让我内心满怀真切的热忱。)”可知，作者认为研究海洋古物辛苦却令人振奋。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是尾段中的“Fresh understanding transforms you, no matter what stage of life you have reached. My message is simple: if a chance appears to step into unfamiliar territory, seize it without hesitation.(全新的认知会重塑你，无论你人生走到哪个阶段。我想说的道理很简单：倘若有机会踏入未知领域，就毫不犹豫地把握住它。)”可知，作者分享自身五十多岁求学的经历，意在告诉人们学习不受年龄限制，要勇于把握新机会。 C A project carried out by the University of Bristol has found for the first time the amount of sleep at which the majority of adults can gain mental advantages. The project has supplied the first scientific proof (证据) for how many hours of sleep you require per night to lower the risk of memory decline: roughly 7.5 hours. Given the structure of a typical sleep cycle, getting 7.5 hours of rest is equal to completing about five full cycles nightly. The team performed a thorough data study and comparison of findings from ten international surveys covering over 95,000 subjects. The outcomes match other recent investigations, which indicate that mental gains are achieved at about 7.5 hours of sleep. “What sets our project apart is that, for the first time, we established exact sleep targets. It presents that clear benefits can be obtained with small adjustments to nightly sleep duration (持续时间), and that for individuals with poor sleep habits, every extra 30 minutes adds to their brain function. This is encouraging because not everyone can manage almost 7.5 hours of sleep each night, at least not immediately, so you can establish modest, achievable targets and slowly build up and extend your nightly rest,” explains Dr. Helen Marsh, one of the main researchers of the project. So, should we stop sleeping once we pass eight hours? “Certainly not,” Dr. James Liu, another main researcher of the project, stated firmly. “More sleep is never harmful. Our project showed that even as much as 10 hours of sleep per night does not create danger; on the contrary, there are further gains compared to resting 6-8 hours daily.” The project offers people definite and easy to follow targets. This is where the value of the project lies — to supply simple and clear objectives for nightly sleep hours that people can conveniently monitor with their phones or smart watches, and in this way support people’s mental wellbeing. 8. What can we learn about the project according to Paragraph 1? A. Its outcomes were supported by scientific proof. B. It examined the structure of a sleep cycle. C. It confirmed the advantages of resting. D. It discovered a fresh method to prevent memory decline. 9. What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. The duration of sleep is becoming longer and longer. B. The duration of sleep is about 7.5 hours a night for most people. C. The total duration of sleep is about 30 minutes for old people. D. The duration of sleep with a small increase can bring benefits. 10. What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To suggest a method to maintain mental health. B. To show the significance of the project. C. To encourage people to sleep more hours. D. To prove the contribution of modern devices. 11. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear? A. Education. B. Sports. C. Health. D. Environment. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍布里斯托大学一项睡眠研究，证实每晚7.5小时睡眠利于大脑，解读研究价值并说明充足睡眠无害。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The project has supplied the first scientific proof (证据) for how many hours of sleep you require per night to lower the risk of memory decline: roughly 7.5 hours.(该项目提供了首个科学依据，证明每晚睡多久能降低记忆力衰退风险：大约7.5小时。)”可知，该项目的研究结果有科学依据支撑。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“It presents that clear benefits can be obtained with small adjustments to nightly sleep duration (持续时间), and that for individuals with poor sleep habits, every extra 30 minutes adds to their brain function. This is encouraging because not everyone can manage almost 7.5 hours of sleep each night, at least not immediately.(研究表明，只需小幅调整夜间睡眠时间，就能收获显著益处；对于睡眠习惯不佳的人而言，每晚多睡30分钟都能提升大脑机能。这一结论十分鼓舞人心，毕竟不是所有人都能做到每晚接近7.5小时睡眠，至少短期内难以实现。)”可知，前文讲述小幅增加睡眠时间即可收获益处，后文用This指代前文这件事。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“The project offers people definite and easy to follow targets. This is where the value of the project lies — to supply simple and clear objectives for nightly sleep hours that people can conveniently monitor with their phones or smart watches, and in this way support people’s mental wellbeing.(该项目为人们设定了明确且易于执行的目标。这正是此项目的价值所在：它提供简单清晰的夜间睡眠时长标准，人们可以通过手机或智能手表便捷监测，以此维护自身心理健康。)”可知，本段点明该研究存在的价值，由此能推出本段写作目的是展示这项研究的重要意义。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“A project carried out by the University of Bristol has found for the first time the amount of sleep at which the majority of adults can gain mental advantages.(布里斯托大学开展的一项研究项目首次确定了能让大多数成年人获得心理益处的睡眠时间标准。)”以及尾段中的“This is where the value of the project lies — to supply simple and clear objectives for nightly sleep hours that people can conveniently monitor with their phones or smart watches, and in this way support people’s mental wellbeing. (这正是该项目的价值所在：它为夜间睡眠时长设立了简单清晰的标准，人们可以借助手机或智能手表轻松监测，从而保障自身的心理健康。)”可知，文章围绕睡眠时长、大脑与心理健康展开，这类内容对应报纸的健康板块。 D Teenagers ought to read books daily. That is an arguable idea, though not every parent will admit it. A few parents will insist that their teenagers are too busy with schoolwork for free reading. Far more of us suggest books, or claim we think highly of them, but the reading simply never happens. That is an issue. To begin with, daily reading is helpful for teenagers. Engaging with the written word on a regular basis helps teenagers develop an understanding of various views, while at the same time strengthening their ability to recover. One small study, carried out across a span of 20 years, discovered that the strongest sign for teenagers’ achievement in their late teens was whether they engaged with printed materials at age 5 or 6. Those early shared literary experiences developed into a lasting curiosity about learning in other aspects of their existence. But despite how crucial their involvement is, few teenagers are spending much time to read at all. In a poll of 1,200 British parents, 78 percent stated they believed regular reading made teenagers “more deep thinking”. Yet while 85 percent remembered having read regularly during their own youth, only 48 percent of those with teenagers said they demanded daily reading for their children. After-school clubs and test preparation are not automatic excuses from reading. The objective, at last, is to develop grown-ups who can maintain a curious mind in their personal and professional lives alongside whatever career ambitions they pursue. Reading builds that mental training. What approach should you take when encouraging teenagers to read? Accept no-excuses. Don’t be concerned if you need to remind them again and again. If you are putting more effort in convincing the teenager to pick up a book than it would take to read it yourself, then your plan is working. Can screen time serve as a trading tool? Perhaps. But if you’re attempting to teach teenagers to embrace reading as a natural habit, using fun as a reward for finishing parts of a book sends the wrong signal. 12. What can we infer from the first paragraph? A. Very few teenagers actually read regularly. B. Teenagers are extremely occupied with reading. C. Reading is a must for all parents at home. D. Family members ought to listen to one another. 13. What is found in the small study? A. Reading helps a person lead a contented life. B. A person’s achievement relies entirely on reading. C. Reading forms a lasting curiosity about learning. D. A child must begin reading at exactly age 5. 14. What does the author advise parents to do in the last paragraph? A. Balance reading and test preparation. B. Stick to encouraging teenagers to read. C. Read books on behalf of their children. D. Reward reading with extra screen time. 15. What is the best title of the text? A. Adults Read Less in the UK B. Reading Matters to Teenagers C. Parents’ Actions Speak Louder D. Teenagers Need More Attention at Home 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要论述日常阅读对青少年十分重要，指出当下青少年日常阅读现状不容乐观，并给家长提出督促青少年坚持阅读的建议。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“A few parents will insist that their teenagers are too busy with schoolwork for free reading. Far more of us suggest books, or claim we think highly of them, but the reading simply never happens.(一些家长坚称孩子学业太忙没空阅读。更多家长虽推荐书籍或声称重视阅读，但阅读行为根本未发生。)”可知，尽管家长口头重视，但实际很少有青少年能坚持规律阅读。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Those early shared literary experiences developed into a lasting curiosity about learning in other aspects of their existence.(那些早期的共读体验，逐渐发展为他们对生活中其他领域持久的学习好奇心。)”可知，这项小型研究发现早期阅读经历能培养持久的学习好奇心。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Accept no-excuses. Don’t be concerned if you need to remind them again and again.(不接受借口。即使需要反复提醒也不必担忧。)”以及最后一段“But if you’re attempting to teach teenagers to embrace reading as a natural habit, using fun as a reward for finishing parts of a book sends the wrong signal.(但如果你试图教导青少年将阅读视为一种自然而然的习惯，那么将娱乐活动作为读完部分章节的奖励，则会传递错误的信号。)”可知，作者建议家长要持之以恒地鼓励青少年阅读。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。 通读全文，文章开篇点明青少年缺乏阅读的普遍问题，随后通过研究和数据论证阅读对青少年的多重益处，最后给出具体的家庭教育建议。全文核心论点在于强调阅读对青少年的重要性。B选项“Reading Matters to Teenagers(阅读对青少年至关重要)”最能概括全文主旨，适合用作标题。 第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Tips for Positive Thinking When Depressed If you’re wondering how to become more positive when depressed, you may need some actionable tips to get started. ___16___ Keep a positive journal. Positive thoughts can be few and far between when you have depression. ___17___ Even if it’s something as small as seeing a beautiful flower or receiving a supportive text from a friend, keep a record of your better moments. ___18___ Next time you feel hopeless in the face of difficulties, imagine the most positive outcome. For example, you might dislike having depression, but imagine that one day you could use your story to help others — to start a support group or write a book. Ask yourself if your negative beliefs are really true. Next time you observe a negative thought entering your mind, ask yourself: “Is there basis for this thought?” For example, has anyone ever told you that you were a terrible friend apart from yourself? ___19___ What about all the times you’ve been supportive or helpful to the people in your life? Hold your negative thoughts up for inspection and you’ll soon see which are worth your attention. ___20___ During depression, however, it often feels easier to hide under your covers and let the negative thoughts takeover than try to change your patterns. Try to challenge yourself during your stronger moments to try to find something to feel positive about. A. How might that feel? B. Here are some ideas. C. Adjust mood to get a positive result. D. Building healthy habits can be hard at the best of times. E. If so, is that person’s opinion the only one you truly value? F. Take a challenging situation and imagine the most positive outcome. G. So each time a happy or hopeful thought comes into your head, write it down. 【答案】16. B 17. G 18. F 19. E 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了抑郁时积极思考的一些建议。 【16题详解】 前文“If you’re wondering how to become more positive when depressed, you may need some actionable tips to get started. (如果你想知道如何在抑郁时变得更积极，你可能需要一些可行的建议来开始)”提到在抑郁时变得更积极需要可行的建议，后文段落具体介绍了这些建议，空处应该指出有这样一些建议，因此B项“Here are some ideas. (这里有一些想法)”符合语境，承上启下。故选B。 【17题详解】 段首句“Keep a positive journal. (坚持写积极向上的日记)”建议记录积极向上的想法，前文“Positive thoughts can be few and far between when you have depression. (当你抑郁时，积极的想法可能很少)”提到抑郁时积极的想法会很少，后文“Even if it’s something as small as seeing a beautiful flower or receiving a supportive text from a friend, keep a record of your better moments. (即使是看到一朵美丽的花或收到朋友的支持短信这样的小事，也要记录下你的美好时刻)”具体指出很美好的小事也值得记录，空处应该是建议及时记录下那些积极的想法，因此G项“So each time a happy or hopeful thought comes into your head, write it down. (所以每当一个快乐或充满希望的想法进入你的脑海时，把它写下来)”符合语境，呼应段首句，承上启下。故选G。 【18题详解】 根据后文“Next time you feel hopeless in the face of difficulties, imagine the most positive outcome. For example, you might dislike having depression, but imagine that one day you could use your story to help others—to start a support group or write a book. (下次当你在困难面前感到绝望时，想象一下最积极的结果。例如，你可能不喜欢抑郁，但想象有一天你可以用你的故事来帮助别人——成立一个支持小组或写一本书)”可知，本段主要建议想象一下最积极的结果，空处位于段首，是段落主旨句，应该与此相关，且需和其他段首句一样使用祈使句的形式。因此F项“Take a challenging situation and imagine the most positive outcome. (面对一个具有挑战性的情况，想象最积极的结果)”符合语境，可统领段落内容。故选F。 【19题详解】 前文“Next time you observe a negative thought entering your mind, ask yourself: “Is there basis for this thought?” For example, has anyone ever told you that you were a terrible friend apart from yourself? (下次当你看到一个消极的想法进入你的脑海时，问问自己：“这个想法有根据吗”例如，除了你自己，有没有人告诉过你，你是一个糟糕的朋友)”建议在有消极的想法时，质疑自己的想法，向自己提问，后文“What about all the times you’ve been supportive or helpful to the people in your life? (那你在生活中支持或帮助别人的时候呢)”依然是提问的问题，空处应该也是一个向自己提问的问题，因此E项“If so, is that person’s opinion the only one you truly value? (如果是这样，那个人的意见是你唯一真正看重的吗)”符合语境，承接前一句中的问题。故选E。 【20题详解】 根据后文“During depression, however, it often feels easier to hide under your covers and let the negative thoughts takeover than try to change your patterns. Try to challenge yourself during your stronger moments to try to find something to feel positive about. (然而，在抑郁期间，躲在被子里让消极的想法接管比尝试改变你的模式更容易。在你情绪较好的时候，试着挑战自己，试着找到一些让你感到积极的事情)”可知，本段主要指出在抑郁期间改变自己很困难，应在情绪较好时去找让自己感到积极的事情，空处作为段首句，应该与养成积极想法很困难相关，因此D项“Building healthy habits can be hard at the best of times. (即使在最好的时候，养成健康的习惯也很难)”符合语境，契合后文内容。故选D。 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分50分） 第一节完形填空（共15小题；每小题2分,满分30分） 阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Today was another interesting day at my new American school.

I thought it kind of strange, wondering why she would want something like that. She did ride and practice for a while, but eventually stopped. Curious, I tried it, finding it very hard and thinking it impossible for a weak girl like me to learn. Since our dining room of our old house had low beams (屋梁), I used them like monkey bars to practice riding, which helped a lot. Because I thought it was really fun, I practiced every spare moment I had, teaching myself to go forwards, backwards and to turn. Practicing was something I loved to do in my spare time, but it did get discouraging when I fell. After months of practicing, I finally made it. One morning, our teacher Maria excitedly announced that a school talent show was to be held to raise money for charity. She encouraged my classmates to sign up for it. I am not always the best in front of a crowd, which was why I was very nervous when I meant to put on my performance by doing a hula hoop (圈) and riding a unicycle on stage. But I overcame my fear and entered myself for the talent show, for which I practiced a lot in case I should make mistakes. My routine (整套动作) was to do the hula hoop from my neck, down to my stomach, then to my knees. After that, I was to ride my unicycle forwards and backwards on stage. Lastly I would do the hula hoop while riding the unicycle. I was to do all this accompanied by my carefully selected music. I wondered what people from my seventh grade would think of my performance. With my friends inspiring me, I built up my confidence. On the night of the show, many people found out there was going to be a unicycle performance, so more came, even the headmaster. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Para 1: When my turn came, I felt nervous yet excited. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: When I got home, I couldn’t wait to check my mobile phone left at home. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 When my turn came, I felt nervous yet excited. I took a deep breath and slowly rode onto the stage. With soft music playing around me, I moved the hula hoop from my neck down to my knees smoothly, and the audience clapped warmly. Sadly, I lost balance and fell over when riding backward. Though I felt a little embarrassed, I picked myself up bravely and tried again. Focusing all my attention, I finished all the difficult moves perfectly. Soon loud cheers burst out from everyone present in the hall. When I got home, I couldn't wait to check my mobile phone left at home. My classmates and teachers sent me many encouraging messages and the full video of my performance. Their sincere support meant a great deal to me. This unforgettable experience taught me a meaningful lesson. Failure is never terrible as long as we dare to keep going for our aims. I bravely pushed myself to face challenges and also helped raise money for charity. I truly believe that courage and perseverance will always guide us to steady growth in life. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了姐姐的圣诞礼物独轮车引发了作者的兴趣，看似难度极高的独轮车运动，让体弱的作者从零开始、利用空余时间刻苦自学，历经多次摔倒与挫败，数月后终于熟练掌握骑行技巧。学校为慈善募捐举办才艺大赛，性格怯场的作者克服内心恐惧，报名参加独轮车呼啦圈表演，反复打磨整套表演动作。演出当晚，知晓有独轮车特技表演的师生、校长纷纷到场观看，让这场表演备受期待。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ① 由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写作者上台表演的全过程，包括顺利完成的动作、中途摔倒的挫折以及最终赢得掌声的转折。 ② 由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写作者看到同学们的鼓励信息和表演视频后的感动与反思，并升华主题，点明这次经历带给自己的成长。 2. 续写线索： 紧张上场——完成部分动作——摔倒——重新站起来——完美收尾——观众欢呼——查看手机——收到鼓励——感悟成长 3. 词汇激活 行为类： ① 相信：believe/have faith in ③ 集中：focus/concentrate 情绪类 ① 尴尬：embarrassed/awkward ② 难忘的：unforgettable/memorable 【点睛】【高分句型1】Though I felt a little embarrassed, I picked myself up bravely and tried again.

Illegal hunting, habitat breaking up, and conflicts with farm animals have left many wolves without parents or injured, unable to survive in the wild alone. On this deep volunteer programme, you will live and work at a respected wolf safe home located in the Carpathian Mountains. When you join Carpathian Wildlife, you will also receive: Welcome Pack — Your detailed welcome pack contains everything you must know about your position and area around you, ready for your review. Personal Guider — Assigned from an experienced group who have walked the same path and stand prepared to support you at every stage. Room & Food — Relax in your shared wooden cabin on the reserve, with internet access and a warm shared spirit, and enjoy rich Transylvanian dishes. Completion Certificate — Awarded to respect your commitment and hard work across the programme, a strong boost (助力) to your future career applications. Imagine this: Your mornings begin with various duties across the shelter. Tasks range from building fences, preparing raw meat, taking care of forest trails, or recording behavior observations. For the average traveller, glimpsing a wolf in its natural home ranks among life’s most treasured moments. Observing a wolf walk silently through the low plants is remarkable. Yet standing beside a wolf daily, and witnessing its confidence grow as it recovers from hurt, becomes an unforgettable chapter in your life. 1. What is a unique experience for volunteers in Romania? A. Hiking through the Carpathian Mountains. B. Building fences for local farmers. C. Taking care of the displaced wolves. D. Cooking traditional Transylvanian food. 2. What can volunteers expect in this trip? A. A certificate for their participation. B. Private guider for language learning. C. Pre-trip to the Carpathian Mountains. D. Relaxation in a beautiful and warm hotel. 3. What is the writing purpose of the text? A. To deliver some information. B. To invite readers in storytelling. C. To explore a warm shared spirit. D. To encourage the readers to join. B As a reporter, I had covered political news for over two decades, and I had thought I would continue until my career came to an end. My husband, David Chen, is a history expert. One autumn, he invited me to accompany him to a history conference. Most of the scholarly discussions went over my head, yet one speaker caught my ear. Margaret Holt, a researcher who explores ancient sailing, showed a technique demonstrating (展示) how Pacific Island sailors crossed vast oceans using only stars and wave patterns. During the coffee break, David introduced us. Holt and I spent nearly an hour discussing her findings and sea-related history. As we said goodbye, I laughed that if she ever needed an assistant with no experience, I would happily volunteer. Roughly six weeks later, a message arrived in my inbox: “Still waiting to hear from you. Have you signed up for the research programme?” And that was how, at 51, I became a part-time master’s student in the study of old things at sea. My understanding of the study of old things had grown weak over the years, so I had to master the basics quickly. It proved hard, yet I received great support from fellow researchers and David. The deeper I dug, the more I discovered how much remained hidden. Each article opened doors to ten more. It exhausted me, and occasionally frustrated me, yet it filled me with real excitement. You explore, question, and gradually the scattered pieces connect. Now, at 59, I am approaching the final stage. Fresh understanding transforms you, no matter what stage of life you have reached. My message is simple: if a chance appears to step into unfamiliar territory, seize it without hesitation. 4. What caught the author’s attention at the history conference? A. A heated political debate with other researchers. B. A historian sharing retirement plans for next years. C. A talk about ancient sailing methods in big rivers. D. A technique demonstrating Pacific Island sailing. 5. What can we infer from the message mentioned in Paragraph 2? A. Holt considered the author’s words as a sincere offer. B. The author often struggled with the research programme. C. The author was introduced to the programme by her husband. D. Holt discovered the author’s hidden gift for the study of old things. 6. How does the author find her experience of studying old things at sea? A. Relaxing and amusing. B. Exhausting and upsetting. C. Hard yet exciting. D. Dull but instructive. 7. What is the author’s purpose in sharing her story? A. To convince us that learning has no age limit. B. To stress the value of obtaining a master’s degree. C. To inspire us to develop an interest in history. D. To warn us against staying in one career too long. C A project carried out by the University of Bristol has found for the first time the amount of sleep at which the majority of adults can gain mental advantages. The project has supplied the first scientific proof (证据) for how many hours of sleep you require per night to lower the risk of memory decline: roughly 7.5 hours. Given the structure of a typical sleep cycle, getting 7.5 hours of rest is equal to completing about five full cycles nightly. The team performed a thorough data study and comparison of findings from ten international surveys covering over 95,000 subjects. The outcomes match other recent investigations, which indicate that mental gains are achieved at about 7.5 hours of sleep. “What sets our project apart is that, for the first time, we established exact sleep targets. It presents that clear benefits can be obtained with small adjustments to nightly sleep duration (持续时间), and that for individuals with poor sleep habits, every extra 30 minutes adds to their brain function. This is encouraging because not everyone can manage almost 7.5 hours of sleep each night, at least not immediately, so you can establish modest, achievable targets and slowly build up and extend your nightly rest,” explains Dr. Helen Marsh, one of the main researchers of the project. So, should we stop sleeping once we pass eight hours? “Certainly not,” Dr. James Liu, another main researcher of the project, stated firmly. “More sleep is never harmful. Our project showed that even as much as 10 hours of sleep per night does not create danger; on the contrary, there are further gains compared to resting 6-8 hours daily.” The project offers people definite and easy to follow targets. This is where the value of the project lies — to supply simple and clear objectives for nightly sleep hours that people can conveniently monitor with their phones or smart watches, and in this way support people’s mental wellbeing. 8. What can we learn about the project according to Paragraph 1? A. Its outcomes were supported by scientific proof. B. It examined the structure of a sleep cycle. C. It confirmed the advantages of resting. D. It discovered a fresh method to prevent memory decline. 9. What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. The duration of sleep is becoming longer and longer. B. The duration of sleep is about 7.5 hours a night for most people. C. The total duration of sleep is about 30 minutes for old people. D. The duration of sleep with a small increase can bring benefits. 10. What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To suggest a method to maintain mental health. B. To show the significance of the project. C. To encourage people to sleep more hours. D. To prove the contribution of modern devices. 11. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear? A. Education. B. Sports. C. Health. D. Environment. D Teenagers ought to read books daily. That is an arguable idea, though not every parent will admit it. A few parents will insist that their teenagers are too busy with schoolwork for free reading. Far more of us suggest books, or claim we think highly of them, but the reading simply never happens. That is an issue. To begin with, daily reading is helpful for teenagers. Engaging with the written word on a regular basis helps teenagers develop an understanding of various views, while at the same time strengthening their ability to recover. One small study, carried out across a span of 20 years, discovered that the strongest sign for teenagers’ achievement in their late teens was whether they engaged with printed materials at age 5 or 6. Those early shared literary experiences developed into a lasting curiosity about learning in other aspects of their existence. But despite how crucial their involvement is, few teenagers are spending much time to read at all. In a poll of 1,200 British parents, 78 percent stated they believed regular reading made teenagers “more deep thinking”. Yet while 85 percent remembered having read regularly during their own youth, only 48 percent of those with teenagers said they demanded daily reading for their children. After-school clubs and test preparation are not automatic excuses from reading. The objective, at last, is to develop grown-ups who can maintain a curious mind in their personal and professional lives alongside whatever career ambitions they pursue. Reading builds that mental training. What approach should you take when encouraging teenagers to read? Accept no-excuses. Don’t be concerned if you need to remind them again and again. If you are putting more effort in convincing the teenager to pick up a book than it would take to read it yourself, then your plan is working. Can screen time serve as a trading tool? Perhaps.

Positive thoughts can be few and far between when you have depression. ___17___ Even if it’s something as small as seeing a beautiful flower or receiving a supportive text from a friend, keep a record of your better moments. ___18___ Next time you feel hopeless in the face of difficulties, imagine the most positive outcome. For example, you might dislike having depression, but imagine that one day you could use your story to help others — to start a support group or write a book. Ask yourself if your negative beliefs are really true. Next time you observe a negative thought entering your mind, ask yourself: “Is there basis for this thought?” For example, has anyone ever told you that you were a terrible friend apart from yourself? ___19___ What about all the times you’ve been supportive or helpful to the people in your life? Hold your negative thoughts up for inspection and you’ll soon see which are worth your attention. ___20___ During depression, however, it often feels easier to hide under your covers and let the negative thoughts takeover than try to change your patterns.

Building healthy habits can be hard at the best of times. E. If so, is that person’s opinion the only one you truly value? F. Take a challenging situation and imagine the most positive outcome. G.

I thought it kind of strange, wondering why she would want something like that. She did ride and practice for a while, but eventually stopped. Curious, I tried it, finding it very hard and thinking it impossible for a weak girl like me to learn. Since our dining room of our old house had low beams (屋梁), I used them like monkey bars to practice riding, which helped a lot. Because I thought it was really fun, I practiced every spare moment I had, teaching myself to go forwards, backwards and to turn. Practicing was something I loved to do in my spare time, but it did get discouraging when I fell. After months of practicing, I finally made it. One morning, our teacher Maria excitedly announced that a school talent show was to be held to raise money for charity. She encouraged my classmates to sign up for it. I am not always the best in front of a crowd, which was why I was very nervous when I meant to put on my performance by doing a hula hoop (圈) and riding a unicycle on stage. But I overcame my fear and entered myself for the talent show, for which I practiced a lot in case I should make mistakes. My routine (整套动作) was to do the hula hoop from my neck, down to my stomach, then to my knees. After that, I was to ride my unicycle forwards and backwards on stage. Lastly I would do the hula hoop while riding the unicycle. I was to do all this accompanied by my carefully selected music. I wondered what people from my seventh grade would think of my performance. With my friends inspiring me, I built up my confidence. On the night of the show, many people found out there was going to be a unicycle performance, so more came, even the headmaster. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Para 1: When my turn came, I felt nervous yet excited. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: When I got home, I couldn’t wait to check my mobile phone left at home. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
