M:Sally,I was surprised to see you at the concert with Michael last night.Doesn't he hate classical music?
W:No,he doesn't.Are you confusing him with Pete,perhaps?
(Text 4)
W:I don't like this paint.It's far too dark.

stuff and no other place to use it.

M:We're almost on empty.Where do you think we should stop?
W:The sign back there said there's a service station just beyond Exit 12,a few miles down the road.
M:I hope we can make it.
(Text 6)
W:I honestly don't understand why "likes"are so important to some people.It's like their whole self-worth is
dependent upon social media.
M:I agree.It's stupid,but I can't help it.I want people to like what I post.
W:So,what do you do if nobody likes your photo?
M:I get upset,wouldn't you?
W:I never post anything,so I wouldn't know.
(Text 7)
W:Right,I think I've got everything.
M:OK.Let me see.Mm,it's a long list,isn't it?
W:Yes.And we need to remember,we're going by train.And we've only got our backpacks.So we can't carry
that much.
M:You're right.We need to decide what's really necessary and what we don't really need.
W:Let's go through the list again and cross out the things that aren't as important.
M:Mm,do we really need to take a cooking pot?It'll be quite heavy to carry.Maybe we'll have to buy food
there.We can keep going on energy bars during the day to save money.
(Text 8)
W:So,James.I've shown you where all the main book sections are:fiction,nonfiction,children's.Any
questions so far?
M:Yes,I was wondering when the busiest times are here.
W:Well,a lot of children come on Monday mornings because we have children's story time.We're usually
busiest from ten to twelve.And our delivery for new books usually arrives on Wednesdays around three.
Also,we have cleaning staff here every day from one to two.
M:OK.A customer was looking for the book Wonders of the West,but I couldn't help her find it in the nature section.
W:I can help you with that.Let me take this opportunity to show you how to check whether books are available
(Text 9)
M:Hello,I'm interested in the courses offered there.As a working professional,I'd like to use my time after
work productively.

W:Well,thank you everyone for your interest in our Pyrenean Charity Challenge.So,what are you signing up
for?We'll walk from Wednesday to Friday through the beautiful scenery of the Spanish Pyrenees.The route
will take us through a variety of landscapes:First,we'll follow an amazing path along the coast.Then we'll
head away from the coast and walk through hills and forest.We will walk about 15 kilometers per day.It
should take us about six to seven hours.Each day's walking will start from one hotel and finish at the next
hotel on the route.We'll walk at a leisurely speed,so this challenge is no problem if you're a fit and active
person.Previous experience is useful,but it's not absolutely necessary.We will have an experienced leader
who's fully trained and knows the route.What will you need to take?The most important item you'll need is
good walking boots.You should buy them well in advance to make sure they fit well.You'll need a
waterproof jacket to keep you dry and warm and walking shorts are a good idea.You will also need a small
backpack to carry your lunch and a water bottle.

【答案与解析】
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中秋节在亚洲不同国家的庆祝方式。尽管其庆祝形式不同,但核心
主题是一致的。
56.celebrated考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,本句的谓语动词为is,所以此空应填非谓语动词;又因为
The Mid-Autumn Festival和celebrate之间为被动关系,所以应填celebrate的过去分词形式celebrated作后
置定语。
57.in考查介词。be rooted in为固定搭配,意为“扎根于…”,所以此空应填in。
58.uniquely考查词形转换。空处修饰动词evolved,.应用副词形式,unique的副词形式为uniquely,意为“独特地”。
59.and考查连词。family reunions和moon admiration为并列关系,表示“家庭团聚和赏月”,所以此空应填表
示并列关系的连词and。
60.who考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,“
wear colorful masks and join lively parades'”为定语从
句,修饰先行词children,指人,且定语从句缺少主语,所以此空应填关系代词who。
6l.preparing考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,本句的谓语动词为light up,所以空处应该填非谓语动
词;又因为families和prepare之间为主动关系,表示“家人准备月饼和新鲜水果作为祭品”,所以此空应填
prepare的现在分词preparing作宾语补足语。
62.a考查冠词。major harvest festival为可数名词单数,且在本句中表泛指,所以此空应填不定冠词;又因为
major为辅音音素开头的单词,故填a。
63.games考查名词复数。game为可数名词,根据句意可知,此处表示“享受传统的民间游戏”,游戏不止一
个,所以此空应填game的复数形式games。
64.highlights考查动词的时态和主谓一致。根据语境可知,句子描述的是一般事实;又因为主语“Japan's
Tsukimi”是单数,所以此处应填一般现在时的第三人称单数形式。
65.harmony考查词形转换。分析句子结构可知,此处与“family,gratitude'”并列作介词of的宾语,应用名词
形式。harmonious是形容词,其名词为harmony。.
第一节
One possible version:
Notice
To promote environmental awareness and creativity,the Art Club will organize a painting competition themed
"Sustainable Energy"in the school hall next Friday.The event aims to inspire students to explore how renewable

All students are warmly invited to participate.You are encouraged to express your ideas freely through
various painting styles and materials.Please submit your works to the Art Club office by Wednesday.Let your

第二节
One possible version:
To my astonishment,my dad was not angry at all."The car owner has been here,"he said with a pride I
hadn't anticipated."He said he had witnessed the entire incident and that he was particularly impressed by your
decision to face the consequences.He asked me to tell you that the scratch on his car had been covered by insurance.
He came here just to tell me how much he appreciated your honesty and courage."
That day,I learned one of the most important lessons in my life.It was far more valuable than the
birthday gift itself.For the first time,I realized that being a good person wasn't about never making mistakes;
it's about having the courage to face them.My dad's pride remains a treasure,a constant reminder that our true
character is defined not by our stumbles,but by how we choose to rise after them.

It's not easy for people with disabilities to lead independent and happy lives.Yet some
still dream big.In a record-breaking first,German engineer Michaela Benthaus became the
first wheelchair user to travel to outer space.
Benthaus launched into outer space while on board the New Shepard NS-37,which was
piloted by Blue Origin,Jeff Bezos's space tourism company.Initially,Benthaus wondered if
her paraplegia()would prove too much of a challenge."I always wanted to go to space,
but I never really considered it something I could actually do,"Benthaus explained.
Before her flight,Benthaus prepared to address her physical limitations in microgravity.
She also rode alongside former SpaceX executive and friend,Hans Koenigsmann,who
received training before the flight on how to assist Benthaus if needed.
The journey,which took around ten minutes,rocketed Koenigsmann,Benthaus,and
four other passengers above Earth's surface.They traveled at more than three times the speed
of sound At the peak of the flight path,passengers experienced a brief period of weightlessness.
Benthaus prepared a strap()for her legs beforehand to keep her legs bound so she
could leave her seat and look at the Earth from outside the window."I did really love the view
and the microgravity phase,and I also loved all the going up,"she shared.
Benthaus began using a wheelchair after a 2018 mountain biking accident left her with
spinal cord injuries.Her space journey was part of a campaign to raise money for the nonprofit
Wings of Life that researches spinal cord injuries.Her injuries made her more aware of the
challenges faced by people with disabilities."After my accident,I really figured out how
inaccessible our world still is,"she said.
Still,her disability didn't affect her ability to enjoy her flight into outer space.
Benthaus's flight points to a future in which access to space is slowly expanding,creating
more inclusivity on Earth and beyond.

Microplastics are widely known for polluting oceans,rivers,and farmland.New research
now shows these tiny plastic particles()also arrive through the air and gradually build up
in forest soils.Geoscientists at TU Darmstadt report this finding in a study published in
Nature Communications Earth&Environment,highlighting a largely overlooked form of
environmental pollution.
"The microplastics from the atmosphere initially settle on the leaves of the tree crowns,"
explains lead author Dr.Collin J.Weber."Then the particles are transported to the forest soil
by rain or the autumn leaf fall,for example.
To better understand how microplastics gather,the research team collected samples from
four forest sites east of Darmstadt in Germany.They analyzed soil,fallen leaves,and
atmospheric deposition-the transport of substances from the Earth's atmosphere to the
Earth's surface-using a newly developed method combined with spectroscopic (
techniques.In addition,the scientists created a model to estimate how much microplastic has
entered forests from the atmosphere since the 1950s.This helped them assess how much of
the total pollution stored in forest soils can be traced back to airborne sources.
"Our results indicate that microplastics in forest soils originate primarily from atmospheric
deposition and from leaves falling to the ground,known as litterfall.Other sources,on the
other hand,have only a minor influence,"explains Weber."We conclude that forests are good
indicators of atmospheric microplastic pollution and that a high concentration of microplastics in
forest soils indicates a high input of particles from the air into these ecosystems."
The findings provide an important foundation for evaluating the environmental risks of
microplastics in both air and soil."Forests are already threatened by climate change,and our
findings suggest that microplastics could now pose an additional threat to forest ecosystems,"
says Weber.The results may also have implications for human health,as they reveal how
microplastics travel globally through the atmosphere and may be present in the air we breathe.
28.What did the researchers do for the study?
A.They transported better soils to four forest sites.
B.They mainly analyzed data from the 19th century.
C.They created a model for improving global air quality.
D.They combined field sampling with laboratory techniques.
29.What does Weber say about microplastics in forest soils in paragraph 4?
A.They come from a single source.
B.They can be reduced by litterfall.
C.They have little impact on ecosystems.D.They might reflect air pollution levels.

The promise of artificial intelligence has been simple:let the machines help do the work.
However,it may be creating a new headache from taking care of the machines.A new study
suggests that instead of making work easier,AI may be giving some workers what researchers are
calling“brain fry.”
Researchers surveyed about 1,500 workers and found that people constantly bouncing
between multiple AI tools reported more decision fatigue(and more errors.About one
in seven workers said they had experienced mental fatigue from using AI tools at work.
"AI can run far ahead of us,but we're still here with the same brain we had yesterday,
said Julie Bedard,managing director and partner at Boston Consulting Group and an author of
the study.She said the findings are an early warning sign that expectations around AI
productivity may need recalibrating."AI is good in some ways for work,"Bedard said.
"However,intensive oversight of AI leads to mental burnout,
For people working deeply with AI tools,the concept of "brain fry"is nothing new.Jack
Downey,Head of Strategy,Operations and Product at Webster Pass Consulting,uses AI daily
to build automation systems and finds there is additional mental pressure that comes from Al
workflows."I usually have several different windows open...constantly waiting..."he said.
"It might take five seconds to do one task,50 seconds to do another task,and five minutes to
do another task.”
"For years,many predictions about AI suggested the technology would allow fewer
workers to do more work faster.But if AI is already pushing workers toward mental
overload,organizations may need to rethink those assumptions,"Bedard said.
If businesses don't figure that out,their bottom lines may suffer.Workers experiencing
AI brain fry reported more mistakes,slower decision-making,and higher fatigue.Bedard is
clear that the solution is not abandoning AI,but rethinking how human workers best interact
with these tools as AI develops fast.
32.What does the underlined word "recalibrating"in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Recalling.
B.Readjusting.
C.Repeating.
D.Recognizing.
33.What is a problem for Downey?
A.Incapability to use AI as an assistant.
B.Little knowledge of updating AI tools.
C.Unfamiliarity with automation systems.
D.Stress from AI-assisted multi-tasking.
34.What does Bedard suggest businesses do?
A.Balance the human worker-AI relationship
B.Give up on the use of interactive AI tools.
C.Assign AI tools to make more decisions.
D.Replace more human workers with AI tools.
35.Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.AI Can Cause Human Workers'Mental Burnout
B.The Challenges of Employing Various AI Tools
C.The Essential Role AI Plays in the Workplace
D.AI Productivity Motivates Humans to Work Harder

Starting college studies can feel challenging.36.Here are core study strategies from
experts to make your learning more effective.
Prioritize steady learning over leaving everything to the final days.Putting off schoolwork
is a common problem for new college students,who often struggle to adjust to heavier
workloads.37,rather than helping students gain real mastery of the material.Instead of
leaving all work for exams,build a regular study schedule and stick to it.
38.You don't have to struggle with tough material alone.College offers plenty of
help,from professors to campus resource centers,and it's important to ask for assistance
early before falling behind.Connect with classmates to form study groups,too.Explaining
content to each other,quizzing one another and building a support network make learning far
more manageable.
Take intentional breaks for better memory.Your brain can only absorb a limited
amount of information at a time.Research shows wakeful rest between study sessions is as
important as practice itself,as it allows your brain to consolidate and store new memories.
Make sure to add enough breaks,relaxation and sleep to your study routine.39.
o Review actively and set clear goals.Simply reviewing notes isn't enough-active
practice like self-quizzing with flashcards creates"desirable difficulties"that boost long-term
learning,just as weightlifting strengthens muscles.40 define actionable plans,measurable
benchmarks,and time-bound tasks that fit your academic calendar.This way,you can track
progress and stay motivated throughout your learning journey.
A.But even the best study plans require flexibility
B.Seek academic support and study with fellow students
C.Also,set specific,realistic study goals using a proper method
D.Make detailed plans for campus activities and after-class hobbies
E.This refreshes your mind and helps it accept new information more easily
F.Research suggests this practice only improves short-term test performance
G.However,smart study habits can build your confidence and lead to success

The memory of my eighth birthday remains vivid,not because of the gift itself,but because of
the unforgettable lesson it brought.That morning,my father presented me with a shiny new
bicycle.Bursting with excitement,I rode it to school early in the morning.The world was
bathed in golden sunlight,and the birds were celebrating a new day in the trees.
But my joy was short-lived.When I turned around a corner,I heard a loud,sharp sound
behind me.My heart stopped after I realized that I had run into a car parked by the roadside
and left a long,ugly scratch on its door.
I slowed down and jumped off my bike to have a closer look.I froze there and imagined
what my dad would do.I looked around nervously and found the street completely empty.No
one had seen the accident!A tempting idea flashed through my mind.
“Why not just run away?”I argued with myself.“No one would ever know.."
For a brief moment,I yielded to the impulse.I leapt onto my bike and rode as fast as I
could.However,the farther I went,the heavier my heart felt.Overcome by guilt,I made the
difficult decision to return to the scene.
I found a notebook in my backpack and wrote a note,I put down my name,address,and
apologized sincerely for what had happened.I carefully placed the note under the car's
windshield wiper.
The school day that followed seemed painfully long.When the bell eventually rang,I
walked my bike home very slowly,dreading the upcoming storm.As I got close to my home,
I saw my dad waiting for me at the door!

To my astonishment,my dad was not angry at all.
That day,I learned one of the most important lessons in my life.
