Whether you are a ballet dancer or a Latin dance enthusiast, here is what you need to know before making a purchase. For Pointe Shoes (Ballet) Fit: They must fit like a glove. Your toes should lie flat at the end of the shoe without curling. A proper fit leaves about a finger's width of space behind your heel. Material: Traditionally made of satin and cardboard, modern ones often use synthetic materials for longer wear. The box (the hard front part that supports your toes) comes in three strengths: soft, medium, and hard. Beginners should always choose soft. Replacement: A professional dancer may wear out a pair in 10 to 20 hours of practice. For students, replacing them every 3 to 6 months is typical. Price Range: $60 – $150 per pair. For Latin Dance Shoes (Salsa, Cha-cha, Rumba) Heels: The heel height usually ranges from 2.5 to 3 inches for women. Beginners are strongly advised to start with 2.5 inches to build ankle stability. Men's shoes typically have a 1-inch Cuban heel. Sole: They feature a suede (绒面革) sole that allows smooth turns but provides little grip. Never wear them outdoors on concrete — this will destroy the sole. Many dancers carry a brush to clean the suede after each use. Straps: Adjustable buckle straps are recommended for a secure fit, as they can be tightened during long hours of dancing when feet tend to swell. Price Range: $80 – $200 per pair. Important Tips for Both Types ·Always try on shoes in the afternoon when your feet are naturally slightly larger. ·Bring the same socks or tights you plan to wear during performances. ·If buying online, measure your foot length in centimeters and compare it with the brand’s specific size chart — sizes vary greatly between manufacturers. 1. What kind of pointe shoes should a beginner choose according to the guide? A. Those with a hard box. B. Those made of pure satin. C. Those with a soft front part. D. Those leaving two fingers' space behind the heel. 2. What is one thing Latin dance shoe owners should avoid doing? A. Using a brush to clean the sole. B. Tightening the straps during dance. C. Wearing the shoes on rough outdoor surfaces. D. Choosing heels lower than 2. 5 inches for women. 3. What do the buying tips suggest for both types of shoes? A. Trying shoes on in the morning. B. Buying shoes that are one size larger. C. Using the same size chart for all brands. D. Trying shoes on with the intended socks or tights. 【答案】1. C 2. C 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了芭蕾足尖鞋与拉丁舞鞋的选购区别，同时给出两类舞鞋通用的选购注意事项。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据For Pointe Shoes (Ballet)部分中的“The box (the hard front part that supports your toes) comes in three strengths: soft, medium, and hard. Beginners should always choose soft.(鞋头盒（支撑脚趾的硬质前部）有三种硬度：软、中、硬。初学者应始终选择软款。)”可知，初学者应选择前部较软的足尖鞋。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据For Latin Dance Shoes部分中的“Never wear them outdoors on concrete — this will destroy the sole.(切勿在户外的水泥地面穿着这类舞鞋——这会毁坏鞋底。)”可知，拉丁舞鞋拥有者应避免在粗糙的户外地面上穿着舞鞋。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Important Tips for Both Types部分中的“Bring the same socks or tights you plan to wear during performances.(带上你演出时打算穿的同款袜子或连裤袜。)”可知，两类舞鞋的共同选购建议是试穿时要穿着表演时打算用的袜子或连裤袜。 B For many freshmen at a Sino-foreign cooperative University, the first semester brings not only excitement but also intense stress. One of the biggest fears is the mandatory Academic English course, which all first-year students must pass. Unlike high school English, this course demands academic writing, critical thinking, and precise language use — skills that many new students are not fully prepared for. Li Ming, a freshman majoring in Computer Science, still remembers the sleepless nights before the final exam. “I was terrified,” he admitted. “I knew that if I failed, I would have to take a make-up exam during the summer. And if I failed that too, I would have to retake the entire course, which costs 86,800 yuan. That’s almost my whole year’s tuition for just one course!” The pressure was overwhelming. Li Ming spent every evening in the library, reviewing essay structures and memorizing academic vocabulary. He even asked his tutor for extra feedback on his practice essays. But despite all his efforts, he felt unprepared. On the day of the exam, his hands were shaking as he wrote his argumentative essay. He could barely focus on the reading comprehension section. When the results were finally released, Li Ming could hardly believe his eyes: he scored exactly 40 out of 100 — the minimum passing grade. He had made it by a hair’s breadth. His roommate, however, was not so lucky. Zhang Wei scored 39, just one point short. Instead of enjoying his summer vacation, Zhang Wei had to return to Suzhou in August for the make-up exam. He spent the whole summer studying while his friends traveled and relaxed. Looking back, Li Ming feels a chill run down his spine. “If I had made one less correct choice in the multiple-choice section, I would have been in Zhang Wei’s shoes. That single question might have saved me 86,800 yuan. I still get nervous just thinking about it.” For the University’s freshmen, Academic English is more than just a course — it is a financial and emotional test that stays with them long after the grades are posted. 4. What is the main reason why Li Ming was so anxious about the Academic English exam according to this passage? A. He thinks he is not good at English. B. He will not progress to Year 2 if he didn’t pass the exam. C. He fears the financial consequences if he failed the module. D. He doesn’t like his English teacher. 5. Describe the emotional progression in a few brief words: A. Confidence→Success→Pride B. Fear→Panic→Relief→Lingering fear C. Excitement→Disappointment→Acceptance D. Indifference→Interest→Regret 6. According to the passage, which statement is correct? A. The resit exam fee is 86,800 yuan. B. Zhang Wei plays game every day so that he didn’t pass the English exam. C. The school English exam is possibly one of the most important courses at Year 1. D. After passing the exam, Li Ming felt very confident. 7. What is the best title of the passage? A. Li Ming Passed the English Exam B. The Passing Line of the English Exam Is 40 C. We Should Study Harder in Order to Prevent Failing an Exam D. A Freshman’s Fear about a School English Exam 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了一名中外合作大学新生李明因担心学术英语考试不及格而面临高额重修费的巨大压力，最终以40分惊险通过，但事后仍心有余悸的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中Li Ming所说的话“I knew that if I failed, I would have to take a make-up exam during the summer. And if I failed that too, I would have to retake the entire course, which costs 86,800 yuan. That’s almost my whole year’s tuition for just one course! (我知道如果我没通过，就得在暑假参加补考。如果补考再没过，我就得重修整门课程，费用是86800元。这几乎是我一整年的学费，却只为了这一门课！)”可知，李明如此焦虑是因为他担心考试不及格会带来的经济后果。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“I was terrified (我当时非常害怕)”、第三段中“On the day of the exam, his hands were shaking as he wrote his argumentative essay. He could barely focus on the reading comprehension section. (考试当天，他手都在发抖，写议论文时几乎无法集中注意力。阅读理解部分更是难以专注。)”、第四段中“He had made it by a hair’s breadth. (他勉强做到了。)”和第五段中“Looking back, Li Ming feels a chill run down his spine. (回想起过去，李明感到一阵寒意从脊背爬起。)”可知，文章展现的是李明从考前恐惧、考试时恐慌、得知通过后如释重负，到事后回想仍心有余悸的情绪变化过程，“恐惧→恐慌→解脱→余悸”概括了这一过程。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“One of the biggest fears is the mandatory Academic English course, which all first-year students must pass. (最大的担忧之一是必修的学术英语课程，所有大一学生都必须通过这门课。)”和最后一段“For the University’s freshmen, Academic English is more than just a course — it is a financial and emotional test that stays with them long after the grades are posted. (对大学新生而言，学术英语课程不仅仅是一门课——它是一次经济和情感上的考验，即使成绩公布后，这种影响也会持续很久。)”可知，“学校的英语考试可能是大一最重要的课程之一”的表述符合文意。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“For the University’s freshmen, Academic English is more than just a course — it is a financial and emotional test that stays with them long after the grades are posted. (对大学新生而言，学术英语课程不仅仅是一门课——它是一次经济和情感上的考验，即使成绩公布后，这种影响也会持续很久。)”可知，文章围绕李明对学术英语考试的恐惧展开，包括经济压力、情绪波动、侥幸通过及事后余悸，并指出这门课对所有新生都是一场考验。因此，“一名新生对学校英语考试的恐惧”最契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。 C Solar eclipses (日食) happen when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun. These events are always spectacular. But total solar eclipses are extra special. One such eclipse was visible across large parts of North America on April 8, 2024. During that time, sky watchers felt surprised at the view. They also took part in scientific research. The eclipse was a piece of exciting news for solar science. On April 8, the Sun neared its most active phase when the Sun gave off more radiation and a lot of charged particles from its surface. Such solar storms threatened satellites orbiting the Earth. They even disrupted power grids on the ground. These are what the science pros found. “Luckily, researchers now have more scientific instruments to study our star than ever before,” said Kelly Korreck, who is an astrophysicist. “This provides a unique chance to learn about the Sun and its effects on our planet and its atmosphere.” But science pros aren’t the only ones getting in on the fun. Citizen scientists are members of the public who help gather observations and analyze them. “There is a lot of emphasis on citizen science and having folks do solar science projects,” Korreck said. Scientists hoped to recruit as many phones as possible, which would spread out over the 2,000- mile- long and 100- mile- wide path of the April 2024 eclipse. Korreck said, “That will offer views of the solar shape from a very large number of vantage points. And it’s up to citizen scientists to do it.” Citizen scientists were able to take part without interrupting their view of the eclipse. They just started an app on their phone and propped it up facing the Sun at least five minutes before the Moon passed in front of the Sun. The app handled the rest. They could get to keep copies of the pictures as a souvenir. “That was a good chance for citizen scientists to contribute to eclipse research,” Korreck said. That’s true whether they set up a camera or installed an app. 8. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A. The total solar eclipse was visible in the entire America. B. The total solar eclipse has some impact on the Earth. C. The Earth gives off more radiation during solar eclipses. D. Sky watchers contributed a lot to scientific research. 9. What did Korreck think of citizen scientists? A. They are enthusiastic. B. They are creative. C. They are optimistic. D. They are essential. 10. What did the scientists want to get from citizen scientists during the total solar eclipse? A. Useful points about the total solar eclipse. B. As many phones as possible with apps installed. C. Observations of the total solar eclipse from different angles. D. More scientific instruments to help observe solar eclipses. 11. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. What citizen scientists got from the eclipse research. B. How citizen scientists got involved in the eclipse research. C. How much time citizen scientists spent in taking pictures. D. Why the total solar eclipse was a good chance for the scientists. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了2024年4月8日的日全食科学观测活动及其对公众参与的要求。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Such solar storms threatened satellites orbiting the Earth. They even disrupted power grids on the ground.(这样的太阳风暴威胁到了环绕地球运行的卫星。它们甚至干扰了地面上的电力网络)”可知，日全食对地球有一定的影响。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Citizen scientists are members of the public who help gather observations and analyze them. ‘There is a lot of emphasis on citizen science and having folks do solar science projects,’ Korreck said.(公民科学家是普通公众中的一员，他们帮助收集观测数据并对数据进行分析。‘现在非常重视公民科学，并鼓励人们参与太阳科学研究项目，’Korreck说)”可知，Korreck认为公民科学家是必不可少的。选项D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Scientists hoped to recruit as many phones as possible, which would spread out over the 2,000- mile- long and 100- mile- wide path of the April 2024 eclipse. Korreck said, ‘That will offer views of the solar shape from a very large number of vantage points. And it’s up to citizen scientists to do it.’(科学家们希望尽可能多地招募手机，这些手机将分布在2024年4月日食路径上，这条路径长达2000英里，宽达100英里。Korreck说：‘这将从大量的观察点提供太阳形状的视图。这取决于公民科学家来做这件事。’)”可知，科学家希望从公民科学家那里得到从不同角度观测到的日全食情况。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Citizen scientists were able to take part without interrupting their view of the eclipse. They just started an app on their phone and propped it up facing the Sun at least five minutes before the Moon passed in front of the Sun. The app handled the rest.(公民科学家能够在不打断观赏日食的情况下参与进来。他们只需在手机上启动一个应用程序，并在月亮挡在太阳前面至少五分钟前将其面向太阳放置。应用程序会处理剩下的事情)”可知，最后一段主要介绍了公民科学家如何参与日全食的研究。故选B。 D Some memories, such as what you had for dinner last night, are easier to recall than others. However, even forgotten memories could be guiding your actions. Memory can be defined by what people report, or physically as a circuit of cells and connections in the brain, known as an engram. It has been thought by many researchers that when you forget something, the engram disappears. However, research in mice suggests forgotten memories can persist; they just can’t be consciously recalled. To see if forgotten memories are detectable in human brains, Tom Willems and his team at the University of Bern got 40 people to quickly look at 96 pairs of images, made up of a human face and an object, such as a guitar or a stapler. The researchers then used functional magnetic resonance imaging (磁共振成像) to observe the participants’ brain activity during tests carried out around 30 minutes later and 24 hours later. The tests asked whether they had seen two images paired up before. The participants also stated whether they recalled that two images went together, were unsure, or were guessing. Those who said they could remember chose the correct pairing 87 per cent of the time during both tests. Those who said they had forgotten got about half right. The participants who were unsure guessed correctly 57 per cent of the time after 30 minutes and 54 per cent after 24 hours. These results were slightly higher than would be expected by chance, which suggests this group may actually have remembered. When the guessers chose the right answer, the same activation patterns were seen in the right hippocampal (海马的) region of the brain as in those who remembered, which implies the engrams of forgotten memories remained and were influencing their choices. In the tests done 24 hours later, the engrams of memories that people correctly guessed stayed within the hippocampus, while those they could remember were distributed throughout the neocortex (大脑新皮层). The work shows there can be a disconnection between the memory we consciously access and the related engram in the brain. As researcher Amy Milton explains, “Some memories don’t necessarily need to be consciously retrieved (提取) in order for those memories to influence behaviour.” 12. What does the underlined word “engram” in paragraph 2 probably mean ? A. A tool used to measure memory. B. The process of forming memory. C. The feeling of remembering something. D. A network of brain cells storing memory. 13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Participants and materials. B. Functions of brain scans. C. Research methods and procedures. D. Causes of forgotten memories. 14. Why did researchers study those who were unsure? A. To identify inattentive participants. B. To compare brain activity patterns. C. To see if guessing reveals hidden memories. D. To prove that all memories can be recalled. 15. What is the key finding of the study in the passage? A. Forgotten memories influence behavior unconsciously. B. All memory traces are stored in the same part of brain. C. Forgotten memories can be fully recovered with effort. D. Conscious recall is necessary for memories to affect choices. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了实验表明，人类被遗忘的记忆仍保留在大脑中，这些隐性记忆虽无法被有意识提取，但仍能无意识地影响行为决策。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“Memory can be defined by what people report, or physically as a circuit of cells and connections in the brain (记忆可以被定义为人们报告的内容，或者在物理上被定义为大脑中的细胞和连接回路)”可知，engram是指前面所说的“大脑中的细胞和连接回路”，即“存储记忆的脑细胞网络”。故选D项。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“To see if forgotten memories are detectable in human brains, Tom Willems and his team at the University of Bern got 40 people to quickly look at 96 pairs of images, made up of a human face and an object, such as a guitar or a stapler. The researchers then used functional magnetic resonance imaging (磁共振成像) to observe the participants’ brain activity during tests carried out around 30 minutes later and 24 hours later. The tests asked whether they had seen two images paired up before. The participants also stated whether they recalled that two images went together, were unsure, or were guessing. (为了验证被遗忘的记忆是否能在人类大脑中被检测到，伯尔尼大学的Tom Willems及其研究团队招募了40名受试者，让他们快速浏览96对由人脸和物体（如吉他或订书机）组成的图像组合。研究人员随后使用磁共振成像，分别在30分钟后和24小时后进行的测试中观察受试者的脑部活动。测试内容主要是询问受试者是否记得之前见过的图像配对。受试者还需说明他们是明确记得两张图像的关联、不确定，还是纯粹在猜测)”可知，该段详细说明了从招募40人参与实验，使用磁共振成像观测，进行记忆测试，到收集被试反馈的研究方法和实验流程。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“The participants who were unsure guessed correctly 57 per cent of the time after 30 minutes and 54 per cent after 24 hours. These results were slightly higher than would be expected by chance, which suggests this group may actually have remembered. (那些表示“不确定”的参与者在30分钟后的测试中猜对率为57%，24小时后为54%。这一正确率略高于随机概率，表明该组受试者实际上可能保留了潜在记忆)”可知，研究者通过分析不确定组的反应模式，发现了隐性记忆存在的证据，因此他们研究这一组人群是为了验证猜测行为是否反映潜在记忆。故选C项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The work shows there can be a disconnection between the memory we consciously access and the related engram in the brain. As researcher Amy Milton explains, “Some memories don’t necessarily need to be consciously retrieved (提取) in order for those memories to influence behaviour.” (这项研究表明，我们有意识获取的记忆与大脑中相关的记忆痕迹之间可能存在脱节。正如研究人员艾米·米尔顿所解释的：“有些记忆不一定需要有意识地提取，就能对行为产生影响。”)”可知，该研究发现被遗忘的记忆会无意识地影响行为。故选A项。 三．七选五。（12. 5分） Responsible Travel: Best Immersive (沉浸式的) Adventures with Volunteering Abroad Traveling offers a way to discover new cultures, landscapes, and perspectives.

My 91-year-old grandfather called me to ____21____ his new hearing aid. For the first time in a long time, he could hear my voice. It ____22____ us both. I soon found out there was another reason my grandparents were so happy — their new audiologist (听觉病矫治专家), Anna. Unlike the ____23____ providers they’d been dealing with, Anna gave time and attention. Anna not only ____24____ the new hearing aid worked as it should, but also offered to go to my grandparents’ apartment to show them how to use it. Such ____25____ might sound rare, but I’ve since started wondering: What if it’s more common than we think? It started with some research that showed people often underestimate (低估) the ___26___ of strangers to engage with, or even befriend them. Then I came across a study that ____27____ news coverage of current affairs tends to be more negative than positive because humans tend to give negative events more attention. ____28____ stories can attract our attention and prepare us for disappointment. But if we don’t engage with positive ones, they might lead us to be more critical of the world, more defensive and less ____29____ than we need to be. So I think sometimes what we hear, see, or even know might not be the whole picture. The truth might be _____30_____ from us, requiring us to notice and discover it. We could start by asking ourselves whether we are _____31_____ more on negative or positive stories and whether we are letting negative news surround us. Maybe even paying more attention to good news or _____32_____ sharing good news will help. Anna’s attitude was remarkable.

When he returned to the United States he studied for a while at the University of Washington, ____43____ he met a guqin teacher who gave him lessons.

She loved dancing, but today, her mind was elsewhere. The results of the monthly exam had been announced that morning, and for the first time in her life, she had failed miserably. Her grades had plunged from the top ten to the bottom twenty. Over the past two months, she had become so absorbed in dance that her schoolwork had slowly slipped through her fingers. Now, she was paying the price. As she was tying her pink dance shoes, the door of the studio swung open. The cold, stern face of her head teacher, Ms. Wang, appeared. “Lily, come out. Now.” Ms. Wang’s voice sliced through the cheerful music like a knife. Her face burning with shame, Lily followed her into the empty hallway, her legs trembling. The hallway was silent except for the distant echo of music. Ms. Wang crossed her arms and fixed Lily with a glare that could freeze fire. “You have let everyone down,” she began, her tone biting. “Your parents, your teachers, and most importantly, yourself. You threw away your spot at the top for this?” She gestured dismissively toward the studio door, as if dance were nothing more than a childish game. Lily opened her mouth to explain, but no words came out. Then came the punishment that shattered Lily’s fragile world. Ms. Wang pointed at Lily’s feet. “Take those shoes off. I want you to hand them to your parents and tell them to burn them with a lighter. They are a symbol of your distraction and must be destroyed. Furthermore, your computer and phone will all be confiscated. No more distractions, no more excuses. This is what happens when you lose focus.” The words hit Lily like physical blows. Her precious dance shoes — the ones her grandmother had bought for her fifteenth birthday, the ones that had accompanied her through countless hours of practice — were to be reduced to ashes. It felt like Ms. Wang was not just punishing her performance but erasing her entire identity. Tears welled up in her eyes, hot and unstoppable. She bent down slowly, her fingers trembling as she untied the laces. Each loop she undid felt like untying a piece of her soul. When she finally held the shoes in her hands, she clutched them to her chest for a brief, desperate moment. But one look at Ms. Wang’s unwavering expression told her there was no escape. Walking home that evening, Lily felt like a ghost drifting through a world that no longer belonged to her. She thought about the dances she would never perform and the music she would no longer hear. When she finally arrived home, she placed her dance shoes on the dining table and, in a hollow voice, repeated Ms. Wang’s words. Her mother’s cheerful humming stopped abruptly. She turned around, her eyes widening with shock and concern. “Lily… what happened?” she asked softly. But Lily couldn’t answer. A sob escaped her lips, and she ran to her room, slamming the door behind her. That night, Lily cried herself to sleep, her dreams filled with broken dance steps and the terrifying sound of a lighter’s flame consuming everything she loved. 注意：续写词数应该在150左右。 Paragraph 1: The next morning, Lily woke up to find a note on her bedside table, with her pink dance shoes lying right beside it. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: A week later, Ms. Wang called Lily into her office again. This time, however, her eyes were not filled with anger. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Paragraph 1: The next morning, Lily woke up to find a note on her bedside table, with her pink dance shoes lying right beside it. Her heart leaped — they were untouched. The note, in her mother’s handwriting, read: “I will never burn these shoes. They are not a symbol of failure, but of your passion. I talked to Ms. Wang. She cares, but I care more about your happiness. Balance is the key. Today, take a break from dance. Open your textbooks. Show yourself — and Ms. Wang — that you can shine in both.” Lily read it three times, tears streaming. She hugged her shoes, then sat at her desk and began studying — not out of fear, but hope. Paragraph 2: A week later, Ms. Wang called Lily into her office again. This time, however, her eyes were not filled with anger. On her desk lay Lily’s latest quiz results: she had climbed back into the top fifteen. “Your mother told me how much those shoes mean to you,” Ms. Wang said softly. She slid an envelope across the desk. “Inside is a permission slip for the city youth dance competition next month. If you maintain your grades, you can participate. I was wrong to ask you to burn your shoes. Passion is not weakness — it’s a fire that needs direction. Prove you can dance and soar.” Lily clutched the envelope, her steps lighter — she was walking toward a future where dreams and duties could waltz together. 【解析】 【导语】本文以学习和爱好的平衡为线索展开，讲述了Lily因沉迷舞蹈导致成绩下降，班主任王老师要求她烧掉心爱的舞鞋并没收电子设备。母亲留下纸条鼓励她平衡学业与热爱，并保留了鞋子。Lily开始努力学习，成绩回升。王老师最终认可她的努力，允许她参加舞蹈比赛，条件是保持成绩，Lily得以走向梦想与责任共舞的未来。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句可知，第一段可描写母亲留下纸条，保留舞鞋，鼓励Lily平衡学业与热爱，Lily感动落泪，开始刻苦学习。 ②由第二段首句可知，第二段可描写Lily的成绩回升，王老师态度转变，允许Lily参加舞蹈比赛，Lily带着信心走向梦想与责任共舞的未来。 2. 续写线索：母亲留下纸条——母亲鼓励——Lily刻苦学习——王老师与Lily再次交谈——王老师态度转变——Lily变得自信 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①展示：show/demonstrate ②紧握：clutch/grasp/seize/grab 情绪类 ①喜悦：happiness/joy/delight ②恐惧：fear/fright/horror 【点睛】[高分句型1] Show yourself — and Ms. Wang — that you can shine in both.

Whether you are a ballet dancer or a Latin dance enthusiast, here is what you need to know before making a purchase. For Pointe Shoes (Ballet) Fit: They must fit like a glove. Your toes should lie flat at the end of the shoe without curling. A proper fit leaves about a finger's width of space behind your heel. Material: Traditionally made of satin and cardboard, modern ones often use synthetic materials for longer wear. The box (the hard front part that supports your toes) comes in three strengths: soft, medium, and hard. Beginners should always choose soft. Replacement: A professional dancer may wear out a pair in 10 to 20 hours of practice. For students, replacing them every 3 to 6 months is typical. Price Range: $60 – $150 per pair. For Latin Dance Shoes (Salsa, Cha-cha, Rumba) Heels: The heel height usually ranges from 2.5 to 3 inches for women. Beginners are strongly advised to start with 2.5 inches to build ankle stability. Men's shoes typically have a 1-inch Cuban heel. Sole: They feature a suede (绒面革) sole that allows smooth turns but provides little grip. Never wear them outdoors on concrete — this will destroy the sole. Many dancers carry a brush to clean the suede after each use. Straps: Adjustable buckle straps are recommended for a secure fit, as they can be tightened during long hours of dancing when feet tend to swell. Price Range: $80 – $200 per pair. Important Tips for Both Types ·Always try on shoes in the afternoon when your feet are naturally slightly larger. ·Bring the same socks or tights you plan to wear during performances. ·If buying online, measure your foot length in centimeters and compare it with the brand’s specific size chart — sizes vary greatly between manufacturers. 1. What kind of pointe shoes should a beginner choose according to the guide? A. Those with a hard box. B. Those made of pure satin. C. Those with a soft front part. D. Those leaving two fingers' space behind the heel. 2. What is one thing Latin dance shoe owners should avoid doing? A. Using a brush to clean the sole. B. Tightening the straps during dance. C. Wearing the shoes on rough outdoor surfaces. D. Choosing heels lower than 2. 5 inches for women. 3. What do the buying tips suggest for both types of shoes? A. Trying shoes on in the morning. B. Buying shoes that are one size larger. C. Using the same size chart for all brands. D. Trying shoes on with the intended socks or tights. B For many freshmen at a Sino-foreign cooperative University, the first semester brings not only excitement but also intense stress. One of the biggest fears is the mandatory Academic English course, which all first-year students must pass. Unlike high school English, this course demands academic writing, critical thinking, and precise language use — skills that many new students are not fully prepared for. Li Ming, a freshman majoring in Computer Science, still remembers the sleepless nights before the final exam. “I was terrified,” he admitted. “I knew that if I failed, I would have to take a make-up exam during the summer. And if I failed that too, I would have to retake the entire course, which costs 86,800 yuan. That’s almost my whole year’s tuition for just one course!” The pressure was overwhelming. Li Ming spent every evening in the library, reviewing essay structures and memorizing academic vocabulary. He even asked his tutor for extra feedback on his practice essays. But despite all his efforts, he felt unprepared. On the day of the exam, his hands were shaking as he wrote his argumentative essay. He could barely focus on the reading comprehension section. When the results were finally released, Li Ming could hardly believe his eyes: he scored exactly 40 out of 100 — the minimum passing grade. He had made it by a hair’s breadth. His roommate, however, was not so lucky. Zhang Wei scored 39, just one point short. Instead of enjoying his summer vacation, Zhang Wei had to return to Suzhou in August for the make-up exam. He spent the whole summer studying while his friends traveled and relaxed. Looking back, Li Ming feels a chill run down his spine. “If I had made one less correct choice in the multiple-choice section, I would have been in Zhang Wei’s shoes. That single question might have saved me 86,800 yuan. I still get nervous just thinking about it.” For the University’s freshmen, Academic English is more than just a course — it is a financial and emotional test that stays with them long after the grades are posted. 4. What is the main reason why Li Ming was so anxious about the Academic English exam according to this passage? A. He thinks he is not good at English. B. He will not progress to Year 2 if he didn’t pass the exam. C. He fears the financial consequences if he failed the module. D. He doesn’t like his English teacher. 5. Describe the emotional progression in a few brief words: A. Confidence→Success→Pride B. Fear→Panic→Relief→Lingering fear C. Excitement→Disappointment→Acceptance D. Indifference→Interest→Regret 6. According to the passage, which statement is correct? A. The resit exam fee is 86,800 yuan. B. Zhang Wei plays game every day so that he didn’t pass the English exam. C. The school English exam is possibly one of the most important courses at Year 1. D. After passing the exam, Li Ming felt very confident. 7. What is the best title of the passage? A. Li Ming Passed the English Exam B. The Passing Line of the English Exam Is 40 C. We Should Study Harder in Order to Prevent Failing an Exam D. A Freshman’s Fear about a School English Exam C Solar eclipses (日食) happen when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun. These events are always spectacular. But total solar eclipses are extra special. One such eclipse was visible across large parts of North America on April 8, 2024. During that time, sky watchers felt surprised at the view. They also took part in scientific research. The eclipse was a piece of exciting news for solar science. On April 8, the Sun neared its most active phase when the Sun gave off more radiation and a lot of charged particles from its surface. Such solar storms threatened satellites orbiting the Earth. They even disrupted power grids on the ground. These are what the science pros found. “Luckily, researchers now have more scientific instruments to study our star than ever before,” said Kelly Korreck, who is an astrophysicist. “This provides a unique chance to learn about the Sun and its effects on our planet and its atmosphere.” But science pros aren’t the only ones getting in on the fun. Citizen scientists are members of the public who help gather observations and analyze them. “There is a lot of emphasis on citizen science and having folks do solar science projects,” Korreck said. Scientists hoped to recruit as many phones as possible, which would spread out over the 2,000- mile- long and 100- mile- wide path of the April 2024 eclipse. Korreck said, “That will offer views of the solar shape from a very large number of vantage points. And it’s up to citizen scientists to do it.” Citizen scientists were able to take part without interrupting their view of the eclipse. They just started an app on their phone and propped it up facing the Sun at least five minutes before the Moon passed in front of the Sun. The app handled the rest. They could get to keep copies of the pictures as a souvenir. “That was a good chance for citizen scientists to contribute to eclipse research,” Korreck said. That’s true whether they set up a camera or installed an app. 8. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A. The total solar eclipse was visible in the entire America. B.

Why the total solar eclipse was a good chance for the scientists. D Some memories, such as what you had for dinner last night, are easier to recall than others. However, even forgotten memories could be guiding your actions. Memory can be defined by what people report, or physically as a circuit of cells and connections in the brain, known as an engram. It has been thought by many researchers that when you forget something, the engram disappears. However, research in mice suggests forgotten memories can persist; they just can’t be consciously recalled. To see if forgotten memories are detectable in human brains, Tom Willems and his team at the University of Bern got 40 people to quickly look at 96 pairs of images, made up of a human face and an object, such as a guitar or a stapler. The researchers then used functional magnetic resonance imaging (磁共振成像) to observe the participants’ brain activity during tests carried out around 30 minutes later and 24 hours later. The tests asked whether they had seen two images paired up before. The participants also stated whether they recalled that two images went together, were unsure, or were guessing. Those who said they could remember chose the correct pairing 87 per cent of the time during both tests. Those who said they had forgotten got about half right. The participants who were unsure guessed correctly 57 per cent of the time after 30 minutes and 54 per cent after 24 hours. These results were slightly higher than would be expected by chance, which suggests this group may actually have remembered. When the guessers chose the right answer, the same activation patterns were seen in the right hippocampal (海马的) region of the brain as in those who remembered, which implies the engrams of forgotten memories remained and were influencing their choices. In the tests done 24 hours later, the engrams of memories that people correctly guessed stayed within the hippocampus, while those they could remember were distributed throughout the neocortex (大脑新皮层). The work shows there can be a disconnection between the memory we consciously access and the related engram in the brain. As researcher Amy Milton explains, “Some memories don’t necessarily need to be consciously retrieved (提取) in order for those memories to influence behaviour.” 12. What does the underlined word “engram” in paragraph 2 probably mean ? A. A tool used to measure memory. B. The process of forming memory. C. The feeling of remembering something. D. A network of brain cells storing memory. 13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Participants and materials. B. Functions of brain scans. C. Research methods and procedures. D. Causes of forgotten memories. 14. Why did researchers study those who were unsure? A. To identify inattentive participants. B. To compare brain activity patterns. C. To see if guessing reveals hidden memories. D. To prove that all memories can be recalled. 15. What is the key finding of the study in the passage? A. Forgotten memories influence behavior unconsciously. B. All memory traces are stored in the same part of brain. C. Forgotten memories can be fully recovered with effort. D. Conscious recall is necessary for memories to affect choices. 三．七选五。（12. 5分） Responsible Travel: Best Immersive (沉浸式的) Adventures with Volunteering Abroad Traveling offers a way to discover new cultures, landscapes, and perspectives.

She loved dancing, but today, her mind was elsewhere. The results of the monthly exam had been announced that morning, and for the first time in her life, she had failed miserably. Her grades had plunged from the top ten to the bottom twenty. Over the past two months, she had become so absorbed in dance that her schoolwork had slowly slipped through her fingers. Now, she was paying the price. As she was tying her pink dance shoes, the door of the studio swung open. The cold, stern face of her head teacher, Ms. Wang, appeared. “Lily, come out. Now.” Ms. Wang’s voice sliced through the cheerful music like a knife. Her face burning with shame, Lily followed her into the empty hallway, her legs trembling. The hallway was silent except for the distant echo of music. Ms. Wang crossed her arms and fixed Lily with a glare that could freeze fire. “You have let everyone down,” she began, her tone biting. “Your parents, your teachers, and most importantly, yourself. You threw away your spot at the top for this?” She gestured dismissively toward the studio door, as if dance were nothing more than a childish game. Lily opened her mouth to explain, but no words came out. Then came the punishment that shattered Lily’s fragile world. Ms. Wang pointed at Lily’s feet. “Take those shoes off. I want you to hand them to your parents and tell them to burn them with a lighter. They are a symbol of your distraction and must be destroyed. Furthermore, your computer and phone will all be confiscated. No more distractions, no more excuses. This is what happens when you lose focus.” The words hit Lily like physical blows. Her precious dance shoes — the ones her grandmother had bought for her fifteenth birthday, the ones that had accompanied her through countless hours of practice — were to be reduced to ashes. It felt like Ms. Wang was not just punishing her performance but erasing her entire identity. Tears welled up in her eyes, hot and unstoppable. She bent down slowly, her fingers trembling as she untied the laces. Each loop she undid felt like untying a piece of her soul. When she finally held the shoes in her hands, she clutched them to her chest for a brief, desperate moment. But one look at Ms. Wang’s unwavering expression told her there was no escape. Walking home that evening, Lily felt like a ghost drifting through a world that no longer belonged to her. She thought about the dances she would never perform and the music she would no longer hear. When she finally arrived home, she placed her dance shoes on the dining table and, in a hollow voice, repeated Ms. Wang’s words. Her mother’s cheerful humming stopped abruptly. She turned around, her eyes widening with shock and concern. “Lily… what happened?” she asked softly. But Lily couldn’t answer. A sob escaped her lips, and she ran to her room, slamming the door behind her. That night, Lily cried herself to sleep, her dreams filled with broken dance steps and the terrifying sound of a lighter’s flame consuming everything she loved. 注意：续写词数应该在150左右。 Paragraph 1: The next morning, Lily woke up to find a note on her bedside table, with her pink dance shoes lying right beside it. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: A week later, Ms. Wang called Lily into her office again.
