They both provide a guided walk around the village. B When I was a little girl, I liked drawing, freely and joyously making marks on the walls at home. In primary school, I learned to write using chalks. Writing seemed to be another form of drawing. I made individual letters into lines again and again, which were delightful but not meaningful. In secondary school, art was my favourite subject. I loved it so much that I thought I was good at it. For the art exam I had to paint an oil painting. I found it difficult, but still hoped to pass. I failed, with a low grade. I’d been over-confident. I thought I was talentless. But other channels of creativity stayed open: I went on writing poems and stories. Still, I went to exhibitions often. I continued my habitual drawing, which I now thought as childish doodling (乱画). In my 30s, I made painter friends and learned new ways of looking at art. However, I couldn’t let myself try real painting. Though these new friends were abstract painters using oil paints, or were print makers or sculptors, I took oil painting as the taboo (禁忌) high form I wasn’t allowed to practise. One night, in my early 40s, I dreamed that a woman in red came to me, handed me a bag of paints, and told me to start painting. The dream felt so real that it shook me. It gave me energy and brought back something I’d lost. Gradually, I started to paint with water colours. Finally, I bought some oil paints. Although I have enjoyed breaking my fear about of oil paints, I have discovered I like chalks and ink better now. I let my line drawings turn into cartoons and sent them to friends. It all feels free and easy. This time, I can accept that I’m not perfect but I keep drawing. Becoming a successful painter calls for being brave. I realised I was always afraid of wanting too much. That dream reminded me that those fears and desires could encourage me to take risks and try new things. 24. How did the author feel about the result of the art exam? A. scared B. discouraged C. worried D. delightful 25. In her 30s, the author ______. A. avoided oil painting practice B. looked for a painting career C. liked abstract painting D. exhibited child paintings 26. Which word would best describe the author’s dream? A. depressing B. challenging C. uplifting D. moving 27. What can we learn from this passage? A. Actions speak louder than words. B. Hard work is the mother of success. C. Dreams are the reflections of realities. D. Creating arts needs courage and confidence. C While global youth have generally become happier over the past twenty years, a troubling change has appeared in developed nations. According to the latest World Happiness Report, young people in the United States and several Western European countries are experiencing an obvious drop in well-being. This unexpected downturn has caused heated discussion among researchers trying to identify the causes of this “unhappiness epidemic” in the world’s most wealthy regions. The primary reason they think is the heavy use of social media. Data suggest that individuals spending over five hours daily on digital platforms report much lower satisfaction. Interestingly, the harm is not the same; teenage girls appear more sensitive (敏感的) to the harmful nature of carefully selected online content. This dissatisfaction often comes from constant social comparison and the pressure to keep an idealized digital image, which brings social exclusion. However, a question makes the problem harder: why do young people remain on these apps if they feel unhappy? Research directed by Cass Sunstein shows a “peer (同龄人) group” trap. They stay active not out of enjoyment, but out of a fear of being the only one to withdraw (退出). In experiments, students expressed a willingness to pay for their entire peer group to quit social media together, yet they would only stay away from these apps alone if they got a large reward. To address these challenges, experts suggest a shift in how society views digital engagement (参与). Some argue that social media should be treated as an adult product, given its links to addiction and cyberbullying. Others stress rebuilding offline connections, noting that strong family relationships in certain Central European countries have served as a safeguard against Internet overuse. Solving this requires more than just removing apps; it demands a cultural change. By setting proper limits online and valuing face-to-face communication more, “Gen Z” can lessen the harm social media does to their mental health. Only by recognizing social media as a tool rather than a social requirement can we recover the lost well-being of the younger generation. 28. What does the “unhappiness epidemic” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. Fall in youth’s well-being. B. Economic downturn. C. Happiness anxiety around the world. D. Rapid spread of digital addiction. 29. Why does social media harm teenage girls more? A. They spend more time on platforms. B. They fail to find proper digital images. C. They face pressure from social comparison. D. They value online content more than real life. 30. What does the research mentioned in paragraph 3 find? A. Social media has become a pressure for the youth. B. Peer groups are necessary for digital engagement. C. Students enjoy staying active with their peers. D. Individual withdrawal brings a great reward. 31. What is the author’s advice for “Gen Z”? A. Quit using social media apps slowly. B. Follow the social requirement strictly. C. Strengthen offline connection with others. D. Promote the use of advanced digital tools. D In a new study, researchers have discovered bottled water sold in stores can contain 10 to 100 times more bits of plastic than previously estimated. So tiny are these nanoparticles (纳米颗粒) that they cannot be seen under a microscope. “At 1,000th the average width of a human hair, nanoplastics are so small that they can migrate and distribute potentially harmful synthetic chemicals throughout the body and into cells,” experts say. “One liter of water contained an average of 240,000 plastic particles from seven types of plastics, of which 90% were identified as nanoplastics and the rest were microplastics.” Microplastics are polymer fragments that can range from less than 0.2 inch down to 1 / 25,000th of an inch. Anything smaller is a nanoplastic that must be measured in billionths of a meter. In the new study, researchers from Columbia University presented a new technology that can see, count and analyze the chemical structure of nanoparticles in bottled water. Instead of 300 per liter, the team behind the latest study found the actual number of plastic bits in three popular brands of water sold in the United States to be in between 110,000 and 370,000, if not higher. “The innovative new techniques presented in the study open the door for further research to better understand the potential risks to human health,” said Jane Houlihan, research director for Healthy Babies, Bright Futures, who was not involved in the study. “Infants and young children may face the greatest risks, as their developing brains and bodies are often more weak to impacts from toxic (有毒的) exposures.” “Nanoplastics are the most worrisome type of plastic pollution for human health,” experts say. “That’s because the minuscule particles can invade individual cells and tissues in major organs, potentially interrupting cellular processes and depositing endocrine-disrupting chemicals.” “There are things people can do to reduce their exposure to plastics,” said Houlihan. “We can avoid consuming foods and beverages in plastic containers. We can wear clothing made from natural fabrics and buy consumer products made from natural materials,” Houlihan said. “We can simply take stock of the plastic in our daily lives and find alternatives whenever capable.” 28. What do you know about Houlihan? A. An expert specializing in plastic study. B. A researcher who invented microscopes. C. A scientist who presented a new technology. D. A director who didn’t participate in the study. 29. What can we learn from Para. 4? A. Bottled water brings nothing but toxic materials to consumers. B. Babies are unlikely to be affected by nanoparticles for their young age. C. The plastic bits found in famous bottled water are surprisingly numerous. D. The potential danger of plastic bits to man has already been dug deep. 30. What does the underlined word “beverages” in the last paragraph mean? A. drinks B. pills C. nanoparticles D. desserts 31. What is the best title of the text? A. Tiny Nanoparticles, Great Impact B. Bottled Water, Harmful Nanoplastic C. Popular Bottled Water, Convenient Life D. Water Alternatives, Sustainable Development 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Be a Good Tourist Being a tourist means you start to experience different cultures, people and foods. 36 When you’re visiting another country, it’s your duty to make a good impression on the people there.

In 2008, it 56 (recognize) as a national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) item. 57 (traditional), the elephant-foot drum dance is performed by men.

Otherwise, they may lack physical 59 (strong) and flexibility to perform the dance. The dance is physically 60 (challenge) for beginners, as it requires them 61 (carry) a drum, maintain good balance, and keep up with the rhythm. During a performance, dancers carry the drum on their left shoulder, with the drumhead facing forward 62 the end pointing backward. The elephant-foot drum, 63 is named for a resemblance (相像) to an elephant’s foot, is a well-known musical instrument of the Dai people. Dancers’ right hands strike the drum with fists, palms, and fingertips, while the left hands support the action. Because the drum is long, most dance 64 (movement) are performed with the dancers’ legs, such as squatting (蹲), lifting one leg, and kicking. Whether the dancers strictly follow Dai traditions or create new forms of cultural expression, generations of Dai elephant-foot drum dancers continue to pass on this traditional art 65 their own ways. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分 40 分） 第一节 应用文写作（满分 15 分） 假定你是李华，校广播站“Talk and Talk”节目的负责人。请写封邮件邀请外教 Caroline 做访谈，内容包括： 1．节目介绍；2．访谈时间与话题。 要求： 1．词数 80 左右； 2．可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ 第二节 读后续写（满分25分） 67．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Joseph was the only son of Adam Tan, a well-known former athlete to reach the South Pole in an expedition (探险). Therefore, many people expected and assumed Joseph to be as sporting as his father. Nothing could be further from the truth. Since he was young, Joseph has been weak. He suffered from asthma (哮喘) and always carried pills. He preferred to read books indoors and was nicknamed “Professor” unkindly in class. He did not seem to mind until his father died unexpectedly on the last mile of an expedition in the Mautu wilderness in Africa. From then on, Joseph turned his attention to sports, devoting himself to building up his body. “I would never disgrace (使丢脸) my father,” he promised. In December, an expedition in memory of Joseph’s father, the former adviser of Joseph’s school, was planned. And he immediately signed up and determined to make it. The expedition to cross a mountain, river, and forest was a real test of the willpower and skills. The last stage was the forest and Joseph was within sight of his target. He had only four more kilometers to cover before he would successfully complete the expedition in the required time. However, Joseph suffered from his asthma again. Noticing his labored breathing, one student asked whether he had any problem. He gave a thumbs-up sign. Just before the last kilometer, his face was pale. Some students gathered around Joseph anxiously and forced him to stop and rest. Behind Joseph was 20 kilometers of wilderness which he had covered. He didn’t want to give up halfway. Furthermore, this expedition was in memory of his father and he was eager to be his father’s pride. However, his asthma made it hard for him to carry on. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 At the moment, the weak boy was in a great dilemma (困境). ____________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, Joseph arrived at the destination. ______________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
