A. a visitor guide B. a shopping list C. a street map D. a travel diary B Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve loved reading crime and detective（侦探）novels, so I guess it was pretty normal that I started writing them when I was older. However, my family is very big on having a traditional job and so when I said that I wanted to go to college and study writing, my parents told me that I couldn’t. They told me that I had to study for a degree（学位）to get a job that is not as risky as writing. I could study journalism（新闻专业）, but I didn’t want to lose interest in writing because it would be everyday work, not for fun. I thought that teaching was a pretty good compromise（妥协）, especially because of the long holidays. By the time I was twenty-five, I’d already finished two novels and had an agent. To be honest, I never wanted to hide that I was a crime writer. My friends have always known. One reason most people don’t know is that my agent told me that my name"Hazel"sounded like a romance（浪漫）writer for older women. She suggested“Brooke Lane”as my pen name and I agreed I nearly forgot about it until I walked into school one day and saw one of my workmates reading my novel. I asked her some questions about it, and she didn’t know that I wrote it, she even offered to lend it to me after she finished! Of course, sometimes I wonder what my students will think if they know that their teacher writes about murders and dead bodies at home on weekends. But I think my parents probably helped me: my teaching job keeps me in touch with the real world. 19. The underlined phrase “is very big on”in the passage probably means ________. A. is very interested in B. doesn’t care much about C. knows nothing about D. is not happy with 20. Why did Hazel choose to be a teacher? A. She was interested in teaching students. B. It was a compromise with her parents. C. Her agent advised her to take the job. D. She couldn’t find a job as a writer. 21. How did the writer feel when her workmate read her novel? A. Angry. B. Surprised. C. Sad. D. Bored. 22. What does Hazel want to tell us through her experience? A. It’s dangerous to be a crime writer. B. We should follow our parents’ advice. C. We can find a balance between dreams and real world. D. Teaching is the best job for writers. C Life is full of moments（时刻）, but some are “special” and stay in our hearts forever. For example, the first time you rode a bike alone, a friend’s hug when you were sad, or in the evening talking with family. These moments aren’t always big, but they change ________________________. Special moments are like treasures. We don’t need to write them down— our hearts remember them. A teacher might say a shy student’s drawing is great, making the child feel important. A parent could make cookies with you on a rainy day, filling the kitchen with laughter. Even strangers can create them: a coffee maker who knows your coffee order, or a neighbor who helps take out the trash. These small acts stay in our minds because they make us feel loved. Businesses also use special moments. A café might play soft music and serve warm cookies on cold days to make customers feel welcome. A bookstore could hold story time for kids every weekend, turning a visit into a happy memory. An ice-cream shop lets customers decorate（装饰） their own cones（冰激凌蛋筒）— seeing a child smile while adding something is a moment everyone remembers. In the end, special moments are everywhere. They don’t need money or planning— just a little care. A kind word, a smile, or a small surprise can make life richer. So take time to enjoy these moments— they make life colorful. 23. Which of the following sentences can be put in the blank in Paragraph 1? A. how we feel about big events in life B. how we feel about ourselves and the world C. how we create special moments for others D. how we remember important family gatherings 24. According to Paragraph 2, which of the following can create special moments? ① A teacher saying a student’s drawing is great ② A neighbor helping take out the trash ③ A cooker selling bread ④ A coffee maker knowing your coffee order A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④ 25. Which is the structure of this passage? A. B. C. D. 26. What can be the best title for the passage? A. How to use the power of the moment. B. Why people forget small moments. C. When to plan big and exciting events. D. When to find small moments. D “Wow! Look at that! Isn’t it a real fish?” The bionic（仿生） fish, named “Jinlin”, was swimming lively like a real one. It was developed by researchers at Shanghai Ocean University. This invention isn’t just for fun— it shows how humans copy nature to solve problems. That is a science called bionics. Over millions of years. animals and plants have developed smart ways to survive （生存）. For example, kingfishers are good at moving fast between air and water with very little noise. Through their study, scientists discovered that the birds’ long beaks（喙） let them have this ability. Then they used the knowledge to change the front of the high-speed train. This change cut down noise level, increased speed by 10% and greatly saved energy. This combination（结合） of biology and engineering is the key to success in bionics. And it has also prepared the way for other new technologies to come up. Driven by robotics and AI, bionics has grown rapidly. The AI-powered bionic fish “Jinlin” can be used for environmental protection and deep sea exploration. In medicine, bionic arms can work similarly to real arms. Sensors allow the user to“feel” touch and pressure. Motors help the bionic arms make movements, like human muscles（肌肉）. With AI, the bionic arms are able to“learn” new work and become smarter over time. These inventions are examples of how bionics connects biology with new technologies to solve human problems. Even though there’s been a lot of progress, bionics still has challenges. It’s hard to copy nature’s designs perfectly. For bionic arms, a key thing to develop is the Brain-Computer Interface（脑机接口）. We need to do more work on how the brain and bionic arms talk directly so that the arms can move as naturally as real ones. Researchers are also trying to make new materials and structures that can sense things and fix themselves. While there’s still a long way to go, the future of bionics is full of possibilities. Stay hungry. Stay foolish. Maybe you will be the next one to change the world! 27. Why does the writer mention“Jinlin” at the beginning of the passage? A. To suggest some new ideas. B. To lead into the topic of bionics. C. To explain the habits of fish. D. To show the importance of bionics. 28. Which field is NOT mentioned as a use of bionics in the passage? A. Environmental protection. B. Deep sea exploration. C. Space travel. D. Medical field. 29. According to Paragraph 4, how would scientists make bionic arms more like real ones? ①By connecting motors with smart phones ②By developing new materials and structures. ③By improving Brain-Computer Interface. ④By changing the shape and look of bionic arms. A. ①② B. ②③ C. ①④ D. ③④ 30. Which of the following shows the use of bionics? A. Drawing a picture of birds by watching real birds. B. Building a house with natural materials like wood. C. Designing a camera by copying some insects’ eyes. D. Learning to dance by studying monkeys’ movements. 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题 共55分） 三、听力填词（共5小题，计5分） 请听下面一段独白，根据所听内容完成表格，每空一词。（独白读两遍）（5分） Hong Kong Art Cinema Open 1. ________________days a week Next week’s film Alice in Wonder Land Ⅱ Show time 8:10 p. m. and 2. ________________ p. m.

But don’t feel bad about it! Talking to yourself actually has a lot of advantages（优点）。 You probably know that thinking is good for the brain. It helps us do things like making plans and managing our feelings. Talking to yourself loud is like showing this quiet inner（内在的）speech. It can help us do better in different areas like school, sports and work. Talking to yourself, especially in the third person, can help us manage bad feelings. “Talking to yourself in the third person is like giving yourself advice,” said Jason Moser, a professor（教授）from Michigan State University, US. Moser uses himself as an example. He does not like flying, but he has to fly often for his work. So when he is feeling nervous or afraid during a flight, he talks to himself, “Well, you know, Jason knows air travel is very safe. And Jason has been on thousands of flights.” In this way, Jason feels very comfortable when taking a plane and he no longer feels nervous. When encouragement comes from oneself, it adds to self-confidence（自信）. A study invited 72 tennis players to take part in some matches. Researchers divided the players into two groups: one group that said nothing while playing, and the other that talked to themselves while playing. They found that the self-talkers showed more confidence and played better than the players in the silent group. Self-talk also helps to improve memory. Researchers tested four different ways to memorize things: reading silently, reading out aloud, listening to someone else read and listening to a recording of oneself reading. Those who read out aloud recalled the information the best, researchers said in their study. It’s because the information will probably become a long-term memory if it is said out aloud. 1. Is talking to yourself only embarrassing or actually very helpful?（no more than 5 words） ____________________________________________________________________________________ 2. What can talking to yourself in the third person help us do according to Jason’s experience?（no more than 8 words） ____________________________________________________________________________________ 3. Among the four different ways to memorize things, which one is the best?（no more than 8 words） ____________________________________________________________________________________ 4. 请将文中划线的句子翻译成汉语。 ____________________________________________________________________________________ 5. 请给短文拟一个适当的英文标题。 ____________________________________________________________________________________ 八、书面表达（共1小题，计15分） 某英文网站将举办主题为“成长中的挑战与收获”的征文活动，假设你是李华，结合下面的提示以及自身经历，以“My Unforgettable Growth Experience”为题写一篇英语作文，为本次活动投稿。 提示：1.
