When his teacher asked him to join a school speech event, he felt unsure. “My hands would get wet just thinking about it,” he said. But instead of saying no, he chose to try. Li practised every day. He filmed his speeches, checked where he went wrong, and even asked friends for advice. Though his first try was full of mistakes, he kept trying. On contest day, Li gave a strong speech about beating fear. To his surprise, he won second prize. “I learnt that being brave isn’t about having no fear,” he said, “but about trying even when scared.” Challenges like Li’s help young people find hidden talents. A study by Youth Study found that 73% of students who tried hard things felt more sure of themselves. Facing tough tasks builds inner strength-a key skill for future wins. As expert Dr Chen says, “Real growth starts when you leave your safe place.” So, how can you begin? Start with small acts: Try a new activity, share ideas in class, or join a group. Every hard task, win or lose, teaches something useful. Remember, the aim isn’t to be perfect but to get better. 24．What do we know about Li Wei from Paragraph 1?

I often make different things. I remember drawing clothes and shoes when I was eight, and I made my first skirt when I was nine. At eleven, I started making shoes, and I now spend my free time doing that. I became interested in making shoes when my cousin told me about an online shoemaking course (课程) that he was doing. Mum booked (为……预约) me on a four-day course at the I Can Make Shoes School in London, and then I did a ten-day course there in the summer holidays. I loved the courses. I made four pairs of shoes! The teachers were excellent. They made us work really hard and they wanted all their students to have fun, too. I’ve made about 15 pairs of shoes now. At the moment, I’m making a pair of training shoes using an old pair of jeans, but I’ve used all kinds of different things before. Making shoes has changed my plans for the future.

The most difficult part was climbing Mount Heng in Hunan. “It wasn’t difficult to climb, but I was really exhausted at that time,” Zhao said. She didn’t have enough time to sleep. After getting to the top of Mount Heng, she quickly got back to school. Zhao said planning the trip wasn’t an easy job, either. She needed to book (预订) tickets and leave enough time to rest before the next climb. However, she sounded pretty happy when she described the excitement (兴奋) of travelling under the stars, watching the amazing sunrise, and enjoying free winds at the top of the mountains. “The trip is also a gift for my mum, who brought me into this world and has been there for me all these years,” Zhao said. 30．What does the underlined word “exhausted” in Paragraph 3 mean?

I was pretty shocked when I first stepped onto the campus. Well, it’s not even really a campus. It’s more like a district in a small town. Harvard’s main buildings are from the 18th century. They look very old and simple. You might even say they are a little shabby. They don’t fit the modern idea of university at all. The buildings are surrounded by grass and trees, so I felt as if I had walked into a medieval castle. But when I looked across the street, busy shops and in-fashion students made me feel like I was in the 21st century again. It creates a strong contrast and brings a special atmosphere to the school. Our tour guide Gary took us around and told us, “You see this grass field in the center of the school? Here is where they host their graduation ceremony. They just set up tents and benches and have a very simple ceremony.” Unbelievable!! Who would think the most talented students just graduate on the lawn? I saw some students put a blanket on the grass and lie down to read a book. When I listened to the soft sound of pages turning, along with the singing of birds, I felt very calm. There was no competitive feeling at all. Harvard had the world’s first computer in its science center and there are hundreds of high-end computers too. Its religion and literature departments are also among the best. It is the perfect mix of tradition and new technology. It makes Harvard a very attractive place to study in. I hope one day I will attend my dream school—Harvard. 34．Where have I visited recently? 35．When were the main buildings built in the university? 36．How did I feel when I listened to the soft sound of pages turning, along with the singing of birds? 37．What makes Harvard a very attractive place to study in? 【答案】34．Harvard University 35．In the 18th century 36．I felt calm. 37．The perfect mix of tradition and new technology. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者最近参观哈佛大学的经历，描述了哈佛的建筑特色、学习氛围、设施条件以及作者对哈佛的印象和向往。 【详解】34．文章首段明确提到“Recently I have paid a visit to Harvard University...”，可直接提取答案。 35．文章第三段开头点明“Harward’s main buildings are from the 18th century”，据此得出建筑建造时间。 36．文章第五段记载“When I listened to the soft sound of pages turning, along with the singing of birds, I felt very calm”，直接提取作者的感受作为答案。 37．文章第六段结尾指出“It is the perfect mix of tradition and new technology. It makes Harvard a very attractive place to study in”，可直接提炼核心答案。 五、文段表达（10分） 从下面两个题目中任选一题，根据所给的中文和英文提示，完成一篇不少于50词的英语文段写作。文中已给出的内容不计入总词数。所给提示词语仅供选用。请不要写出真实的校名、姓名和地名。 38．根据以下提示，写一篇关于“接受自己”的短文。 提示： 1. 你曾经对自己的某方面不满意（外貌、性格、能力等）； 2. 发生了什么事情让你改变了看法； 3. 你现在如何看待自己； 4. 你的感悟。 要求： • 词数：80-100词； • 使用至少3个现在完成时的句子； • 可适当发挥。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】示例 Accepting Myself I used to be very shy and afraid of speaking in public. For a long time, I have kept silent in class because I was worried about making mistakes. I even thought I was not good enough. However, things changed last term. Our teacher encouraged me to join a speech contest. I practiced hard and finally won a prize. Since then, I have become much more confident. I have realized that everyone has their own strengths.

When his teacher asked him to join a school speech event, he felt unsure. “My hands would get wet just thinking about it,” he said. But instead of saying no, he chose to try. Li practised every day. He filmed his speeches, checked where he went wrong, and even asked friends for advice. Though his first try was full of mistakes, he kept trying. On contest day, Li gave a strong speech about beating fear. To his surprise, he won second prize. “I learnt that being brave isn’t about having no fear,” he said, “but about trying even when scared.” Challenges like Li’s help young people find hidden talents. A study by Youth Study found that 73% of students who tried hard things felt more sure of themselves. Facing tough tasks builds inner strength-a key skill for future wins. As expert Dr Chen says, “Real growth starts when you leave your safe place.” So, how can you begin? Start with small acts: Try a new activity, share ideas in class, or join a group. Every hard task, win or lose, teaches something useful. Remember, the aim isn’t to be perfect but to get better. 24．What do we know about Li Wei from Paragraph 1? A．He won first prize in a speech contest. B．He was initially afraid of talking in front of people. C．He always loved performing on stage. D．He is good at talking in front of people. 25．According to the passage, what does facing tough tasks help young people do? A．Avoid making mistakes. B．Find hidden talents. C．Spend less time studying. D．Become angry. 26．What is the writer’s main purpose? A．To encourage facing fears for growth. B．To warn about hard challenges. C．To list good hobbies for teens. D．To ask students to study hard. C My hobby is making shoes. I often make different things. I remember drawing clothes and shoes when I was eight, and I made my first skirt when I was nine. At eleven, I started making shoes, and I now spend my free time doing that. I became interested in making shoes when my cousin told me about an online shoemaking course (课程) that he was doing. Mum booked (为……预约) me on a four-day course at the I Can Make Shoes School in London, and then I did a ten-day course there in the summer holidays. I loved the courses. I made four pairs of shoes! The teachers were excellent. They made us work really hard and they wanted all their students to have fun, too. I’ve made about 15 pairs of shoes now. At the moment, I’m making a pair of training shoes using an old pair of jeans, but I’ve used all kinds of different things before. Making shoes has changed my plans for the future.

I was pretty shocked when I first stepped onto the campus. Well, it’s not even really a campus. It’s more like a district in a small town. Harvard’s main buildings are from the 18th century. They look very old and simple. You might even say they are a little shabby. They don’t fit the modern idea of university at all. The buildings are surrounded by grass and trees, so I felt as if I had walked into a medieval castle. But when I looked across the street, busy shops and in-fashion students made me feel like I was in the 21st century again. It creates a strong contrast and brings a special atmosphere to the school. Our tour guide Gary took us around and told us, “You see this grass field in the center of the school? Here is where they host their graduation ceremony. They just set up tents and benches and have a very simple ceremony.” Unbelievable!! Who would think the most talented students just graduate on the lawn? I saw some students put a blanket on the grass and lie down to read a book. When I listened to the soft sound of pages turning, along with the singing of birds, I felt very calm. There was no competitive feeling at all. Harvard had the world’s first computer in its science center and there are hundreds of high-end computers too. Its religion and literature departments are also among the best. It is the perfect mix of tradition and new technology. It makes Harvard a very attractive place to study in. I hope one day I will attend my dream school—Harvard. 34．Where have I visited recently? 35．When were the main buildings built in the university? 36．How did I feel when I listened to the soft sound of pages turning, along with the singing of birds? 37．What makes Harvard a very attractive place to study in? 五、文段表达（10分） 从下面两个题目中任选一题，根据所给的中文和英文提示，完成一篇不少于50词的英语文段写作。文中已给出的内容不计入总词数。所给提示词语仅供选用。请不要写出真实的校名、姓名和地名。 38．根据以下提示，写一篇关于“接受自己”的短文。 提示： 1. 你曾经对自己的某方面不满意（外貌、性格、能力等）； 2. 发生了什么事情让你改变了看法； 3. 你现在如何看待自己； 4. 你的感悟。 要求： • 词数：80-100词； • 使用至少3个现在完成时的句子； • 可适当发挥。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 39．假设你是Andy，你七年级的外教老师 Kate给你写了一封电子邮件，想询问你进入八年级之后的变化，包括外貌、学业、爱好和交友等方面，请你给她写一封回信。 Dear Andy, How are you doing?
