Today I’d like to share some impressive moments. What touched me most was the runners’ perseverance. Tired as they were, many runners insisted on finishing the race, showing the spirit of never giving up. Besides, I witnessed a warm scene at the finish line: a little girl awarded her father a medal to praise his persistent effort. These moments taught me that a marathon is more than a race. It carries spiritual strength and warm family love. I feel honored to take part in this meaningful activity. Thank you. 作文二： 【参考范文】 A few days later, Frade was in trouble when bathing in the river with his new friends. Carelessly, he swam into the deep and fast-moving current. The sudden rush swept him away, and he struggled violently in the water, unable to swim back to the bank. Terrified and helpless, he shouted for help at the top of his lungs. However, his so-called new friends were all frightened. They dared not jump into the river and fled the scene in a hurry, leaving Frade struggling alone in the dangerous river. At that moment, Jerry happened to pass by. Seeing the dangerous situation, Jerry rushed to the riverbank instantly without the slightest hesitation. Brave and calm, he jumped into the river and swam towards Frade with all his strength. He managed to pull the exhausted Frade ashore safely. Full of shame and gratitude, Frade apologized sincerely for his rude words and unfair prejudice. He finally realized that true courage was never blind recklessness, but sticking to righteousness even when facing misunderstanding. The two best friends reconciled and went home together again. 原文 Text 1 最喜爱的歌曲 M: Alice, why is this song your favorite? W: Every time I hear it, I’m immediately transported to a time in the past.

Text 8 蜂蜜是否具有营养价值 M: Today, we’re joined by health expert Sarah Green to discuss a sweet topic — honey! ⑪Dr. Green, many people view honey as a healthier alternative to sugar. Is that wise? W: Thank you for having me. Well, I don’t think that’s a wise idea. ⑪While honey varies slightly in nutritional content depending on the flowers it’s made from, it’s still high in sugar and calories. M: So eating too much honey can contribute to weight gain. ⑫Are there any health benefits? W: ⑫Well, as honey is less processed, it contains vitamins, minerals, and so on. But their quantities are very small. To make a big difference, people need to have around 80 grams of honey per day. But adults are suggested to have no more than 30 grams of honey per day. M: Then it doesn’t make sense to eat honey just for its nutrients. W: Exactly. ⑬A little honey can add flavor and sweetness, but naturally sweet foods like berries, bananas, carrots or sweet potatoes are healthier choices.

It rises some 3,000 feet and has a very steep cliff face that only expert climbers are allowed to climb. W: ⑯I know Yosemite also features a nearly 5,000-foot-tall rock called Half Dome, which is a half-circle rock. M: Yes. ⑰Maybe we can camp here next time. W: ⑰Great minds think alike. Text 10 钢琴家的机械手 M: You’re practicing a new song on the piano. No matter how many times you try it, your fingers just won’t move fast enough. Then you can put on a special device that looks like a robotic hand. It makes your fingers move faster. ⑱In a series of experiments, dozens of professional piano players had this experience. They improved their piano skills using a wearable robotic hand. ⑲Shinichi Furuya and his team shared the results in Science Robotics. ⑲Furuya used to be a professional musician. He practiced the piano so much that he developed a movement disorder in his hands. That’s why he changed his career from being a pianist to becoming a scientist. “Many people are using wearable robotic hands for medical recovery or virtual reality gaming,” says Furuya. “I thought maybe this is also good for music education.” ⑳Furuya is not an engineer, so he told one of his colleagues about his idea. He wondered if it might be possible to build such a robot. And he was told, “Yeah, why not?” The robot they built fits over one hand. The pianists often said their fingers felt “very light” after using the robot. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段对话读两遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Alice, why is this song your favorite?

B The cover of a serious science magazine recently caught everyone’s attention in a special way. It showed how trees communicate through an “internet of trees” made of fungal threads (菌丝) in the soil. But instead of looking like a regular science diagram, the image appeared as a beautiful Chinese silk embroidery (刺绣), with golden threads connecting the roots in an elegant pattern. This creative idea came from Dr. Elena. When she was still a university student, she often found it hard to explain complex plant relationships to people who weren’t experts. Scientific terms and complicated charts made it difficult for many to understand. One day, she remembered her childhood: her grandmother teaching her embroidery. She recalled how colorful threads wove together on fabric (布料), eventually forming beautiful patterns. It reminded her of the hidden connections between plants. “That’s it!” she suddenly realized. Inspired, she picked up her sketchbook and started creating. She drew seed spreading processes as delicate paper art, with seeds floating across the sky like tiny white sculptures. She gave a description of how plants send signals to each other using patterns similar to those found in textiles. At first, this was just her personal way to organize her thoughts, but other scientists saw her work and loved it. Over five years, her team created more than 800 of these scientific illustrations, with many featured in world-famous science magazines. “Science doesn’t need to feel cold and emotionless to be correct,” Elena said, pointing to her latest work. This painting shows how plants use sunlight to create energy as a colorful traditional woven artwork. “When we combine cultural heritage with scientific truth, we can build a bridge that helps everyone understand knowledge.” 24. Why did Dr. Elena start creating her scientific illustrations? A. To show science can be incorrect B. To replace traditional diagrams. C. To explain plant science clearly D. To prove her scientific discoveries. 25. What was the direct inspiration for Dr. Elena’s unique way of scientific drawings? A. Her research on traditional Chinese art forms. B. The complex charts in science textbooks. C. The advice from her university professors. D. A childhood memory of learning embroidery 26. The reaction of other scientists to Dr. Elena’s work suggests that they ________ A. valued her creative approach B. considered it an oversimplification C. viewed it merely as decorative art D. were initially skeptical about its value 27. According to the passage, what is the key message Dr. Elena wants to convey? A. Science and culture should be separate. B. Culture can bridge science and the public. C. Digital tools are best for science art. D. Traditional science diagrams are useless. C It’s a classic complaint in relationships, especially romantic ones: “She said she was okay with me forgetting her birthday! Then why is she throwing dishes in the kitchen? Are the two things related?” The answer is YES. Communication is more than words. It’s how those words are said, the tone, the order, even the choice of a particular word. It’s multi-dimensional, as explored by Deirdre Wilson and Dan Sperber in Meaning and Relevance. Consider the following example: Peter got angry and Mary left; Mary left and Peter got angry. Though identical in words, their meanings differ completely. The first one may have us thinking: Wow, Peter must get angry often if Mary leaves. The second sentence suggests that Peter wants more from Mary. Same words — a totally different context. Human language is not a code (编码). True codes have a one-to-one relationship with meaning. One sound, one definition. This is what we see with animals. Wilson and Sperber explain that “coded communication works best when emitter and receiver share exactly the same code.” Not so for humans. We communicate more than the definitions of our words would suggest. This is inferential communication, and it means that we understand not only the words spoken, but the context in which they are spoken. Irony (反语) is a great example of how powerfully we can communicate context with a few simple words. It is more than just stating the opposite. For example, when Mary says, after a boring party, “That was fun”, she is neither saying literally that the party was fun nor saying “ironically” that the party was boring. Rather, she is expressing an emotion. Three words replace paragraphs, showcasing language’s efficiency. Wilson and Sperber concluded that human language developed and became so powerful because of two unique abilities of humans: language and the power to try to interpret mental states of others. We look for context for the words we hear. And we should be very good at absorbing this context to infer meaning. 28. What does the complaint in Paragraph 1 mainly indicate? A. The importance of remembering vital moments. B. The inconsistence between words and meaning. C. The necessity of straightforward communication. D. The unavoidability of argument in a couple’s life. 29. What may make human language different from true codes? A. The definitions made by words in communication. B. The context included in understanding meanings. C. The one-to-one relationship between word and meaning. D. The coded communication between emitter and receiver. 30. How does Mary’s statement “That was fun” illustrate about irony? A. It simplifies language to save time. B. It covers the true feelings of people. C. It uses fewer words for complex meanings. D. It needs wordy explanations to make sense. 31. What does the author suggest in communication? A. Taking language literally. B. Focusing on the opposite. C. Avoiding using ironic tones. D. Reading beyond the words. D Every time you crowd into a packed plane, you might wonder if you will catch something from the person sitting next to you — or a few rows away. You’re not alone: researchers share that curiosity. Erica, associate professor at Northwestern University, and her colleagues tried to find out by testing face masks worn by passengers on flights to document what kinds of bugs they trapped. The team was also interested in the air circulating in hospitals and tested face masks worn by hospital staff. They collected 53 masks for analysis. They detected 407 total microbial (微生物) species from both the plane and hospital settings, with similar populations of bugs from each. The vast majority of these came from skin and are harmless, says Erica. She says most airborne microbes come from our skin, as we shed (使掉落) them everywhere we go. The kits that the team used were designed to collect DNA, so that meant the researchers primarily captured bacteria — not viruses, many of which have RNA as their genetic base (like influenza). Erica says that viruses likely make up a smaller proportion of microbes in the air than bacteria, since people shed more skin bacteria than virus particles. She notes that viruses tend to heavily depend on the right habitat in order to thrive, and once outside the body and away from cells that they can infect, they can become slightly less pernicious. The results of the study highlight the importance of developing better ways to monitor the air for disease-causing pathogens (病原体), including viruses, using sensing systems that could provide more real-time readings. “Imagine something like a gas alarm that, depending on the levels of microbes present, could automatically increase air-exchange rates or alert people to put on masks,” says Erica. Erica hopes people will remember that the air — even in tight places like a plane or hospital — may not be as full of disease-causing bacteria as we think. Still, if you are worried about getting sick, face masks are an effective way to protect yourself from pathogens, as well as protecting you from spreading bacteria to others if you are ill. 32. Why did Erica and her colleagues carry out the study? A. To compare bugs in different settings. B. To design a new air conditioning system. C. To prove that using face masks is ineffective. D. To explore infection risks in specific places. 33. How did the team collect data for their research? A. By examining DNA from skin samples. B. By testing face masks from different groups. C. By checking air quality inside the airplanes. D. By tracking viruses spread among patients. 34. What does the underlined word “pernicious” most probably mean in paragraph 4? A. Harmful. B. Rare. C. Visible. D. Stable. 35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Viruses are the main microbes in the air. B. Real-time air monitoring is now widely used. C. Shed skin spreads more bacteria than viruses. D. People needn’t be over tense to the air in tight spaces. 第二节（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。 In the 1960s and 1970s, the greatest fear was that the human race, and possibly all advanced life forms on the planet, could be wiped out by nuclear missiles. 36 Scientists are thinking of ways to lower this risk, such as replacing coal and oil with forms of renewable energy. But they are also preparing for the worst: what can we do if the earth can no longer sustain us? 37 The most likely choice is Mars, which is relatively close to Earth and has an environment more friendly than that of other planets. Mars has fascinated people since ancient times, and today our interest in Martian exploration is greater than ever before. Since the 1960s, we have been sending unmanned spacecraft to Mars. 38 Our robots have explored the Martian surface, testing the soil and searching for resources, water and signs of life. However, sending people there will require all the skill, courage and intelligence of the human race. While the Moon can be reached within days, it would take months to reach Mars, travelling through dangerous solar radiation. And even if the first settlers do reach Mars safely, they may not be able to return to Earth — ever. 39 As early as the 1980s, scientists were building Biosphere 2 in the Arizona desert, consisting of a closed space in which people, animals and plants could live together. Although the two-year experiment was a failure, it did provide us with a better understanding of how humans might be able to live on another planet. Anyway, human settlement of Mars is still decades away. In the meantime, scientific research shows that the planet Earth is getting warmer. This change is being caused by human activity and is having a terrible effect on the globe. 40 A. Right now, it’s the only one we have. B. That definitely is a big step forward. C. Our probes have orbited the planet, sending back valuable data and stunning images. D. Until we are finally able to live on another planet, we need to take far better care of our own. E. Staying alive will be a daily challenge, but isn’t impossible, as proved by scientists. F. One option is to explore other planets to see if we could live on them. G. Today, however, environmental problems have taken over as the greatest risk to life on Earth. 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I grew up in a small coastal town where hurricanes were a regular threat.

They went to school together, played together, and walked home side by side every single day, sharing all the small joys of their school life. One day on their way home after school, they spotted a group of older boys throwing stones at the roadside public garden, breaking the small plants and littering the ground carelessly. Frade immediately lit up with excitement and pulled Jerry’s arm, saying, “Come on! Let’s go over and join them. It’s such fun to throw stones around!” But Jerry stepped back and refused firmly, “This is wrong. We shouldn’t damage public things or follow their silly trieks. Our parents are waiting for us at home for dinner, and I don’t want to make them worry about us.” “You are nothing but a coward (胆小鬼), too scared to join us,” Frade shouted at him. Then he ran off quickly to the garden with the other boys, leaving Jerry alone. Jerry said nothing more, turned around and walked home quietly, putting the whole thing behind him. Soon enough, Frade told every boy in their class that Jerry was a coward. All the classmates laughed at Jerry rudely, looked down on him, and refused to play with him from that day on. Jerry felt sad and lonely, but he never got angry with Frade for his unfair words. He knew deep down that real courage is not rushing into foolish tricks to win praise, but standing by what is right, even when you are misunderstood and laughed at for no reason. The only thing a person should truly fear is doing something wrong. So he ignored the cold laughter, kept his own pace, went to school and studied hard as usual, never giving up his right beliefs. Frade never walked home with Jerry again. He stuck with his new friends, all of whom called Jerry a coward. Every day after school, they skipped going straight home, wandering by the river or hanging around elsewhere, fooling around and wasting their time without a eare. 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。 Paragraph 1: A few days later, Frade was in trouble when bathing in the river with his new friends. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: At that moment, Jerry happened to pass by. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
