On Tree Planting Day, we gathered at the school gate and took a coach to our destination. Upon arrival, the teachers showed us the steps of planting trees, after which we were divided into small groups to fulfill our tasks. While enjoying being close to nature, we cooperated with each other, some digging holes, some planting small trees, and some watering them. Exhausted as we were, our time and effort paid off. The activity has been a truly enriching experience for me. Not only does it offer me a chance to acquire hands-on experience, but it also deepens my understanding of the beauty of labor. 读后续写 At school the next morning, I held out the book to Penny, saying “You dropped this.” Her face turned pale instantly, and she avoided my eyes, her hands trembling slightly as she took the book. Never had I seen her so nervous. With tears welling up in her eyes, she whispered, “Sorry, Aidan. I’m not good at coming up with stories, so I copied it. I was too scared to tell anyone.” Sitting down beside her, I patted her shoulder gently and said softly, “I understand. We all have trouble sometimes, but copying isn’t the way. My job as your critique partner is to help you, not to judge you.” Lifting her head, she looked at me with gratitude, the tension in her body slowly fading away. Suddenly, I thought of how my parents cooked together and an idea popped into my mind. Just as my dad’s attention to detail and Mom’s sense of adventure made their dinners perfect, Penny and I could also make a wonderful original story. So I proposed, “Let’s work together. You can help me with spelling and grammar, and I’ll help you brainstorm creative ideas.” Penny nodded approvingly. The next writing club sessions witnessed our intimate cooperation. When we finished our original story, we both smiled with pride. It was then that I realized that true friendship and growth come not from judging others’ mistakes, but from lifting each other up and working together to become better. 听力原文： Text 1 想要捐赠部分衣物 W: Why did you take out all your clothes?

(11) W: I don’t know. I didn’t realize there was a difference. Is it about the different accents? (11) M: Yes, but that’s part of it. There are also differences in word usage and spelling. (12) W: Like what? M: Well, British people will often use the word “got”, while Americans tend to use “gotten”. (12) W: That’s interesting. Are there any other differences? M: Yes. British people often use “have” instead of “take” in some cases. For example, they’d say, “I’m going to have a shower,” while Americans would always use “take”. (12) W: Where do these differences come from? M: I think it’s cultural. The British language tends to be more polite. (13) W: I suppose that must be the style I’ve been learning then. Although my teacher is from New York, he always says, “Let’s have a short break.” (13) Text 9 锻炼缓解焦虑 W: Hi Jim, (14) (16) (17) I have just come back from my yoga class. (14) It’s really amazing. M: I don’t think I would enjoy it. I cannot stand on one leg, I can’t bend, and I don’t think I could cross my legs. (14) W: You don’t have to do all those. Yoga is about stretching (伸展) and is a great way to relieve anxiety. (15) M: That does sound interesting. Tell me more. I’d love to wind down. W: Well, I felt so refreshed after class and far more able to manage the stress of the rest of the week. (15) I really look forward to going there. M: I am pleased it works for you, and our chat is reminding me about how important it is to do exercise that helps fight stress. W: That’s great. You enjoy playing soccer, don’t you? M: I do, it’s so much fun and it’s a fantastic way to socialize, and I also like to get out in nature by myself. I’ll do something more peaceful and relaxing where I don’t need to think too much. (16) W: You used to go running a lot, didn’t you? (17) M: Yes, I did. And I still do! Actually, it’s time for that now. (17) Text 10 介绍一款日程计划类应用 Do you struggle to plan your day?

B Ramla Ali, Somali-born boxer, model and ambassador of United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF), has spent her life fighting, first for survival, then for change. From escaping Somalia’s civil war to stepping into the Olympic ring, she’s turned her own story of struggle into a powerful mission to uplift others. Following her brother’s death in the chaos of war, Ali and her family spent a year as refugees (难民) before resettling in London, where Ali chanced upon boxing. What began as a means to prevent herself from being bullied has matured into both a lifelong calling and a source of comfort and a passion. Her amateur career saw her claim England’s National, Great British, and 2019 African Zone Featherweight titles. In 2021 she made history as Somalia’s first Olympic boxer, a symbol of perseverance and determination. Guided by the belief “You can’t be what you can’t see — if people witness my journey, they may dare to dream too”, Ali journeyed back to Kenya and visited the Dadaab refugee camp with UNICEF in 2025, during which she joined the Kasarani Sasa recycling group, a collective of over 200 refugee women waste pickers, helping sort plastic and cardboard. The program provides childcare, informal education for kids and safe income for struggling mothers. “Witnessing the things firsthand struck me. This could have been me, had I not left. It’s heartbreaking — you want to help everyone, but there’re so many,” Ali said. At FilmAid Kenya, a learning program teaching the young displaced filmmaking and storytelling, Ali shared how education transformed her life with the students, many of whom dreamed of careers in medicine or psychology, despite hardships. Though moved by a teenager who desired to be a film director after her first exposure to a camera, Ali feared the program, a lifeline for refugee children’s dreams, was at risk from global aid cuts. Deeply concerned about this, Ali partnered with UNICEF to provide sustained financial backing for refugee children’s education. Meanwhile, she’s expanded her free women’s boxing club worldwide. She made an appeal, saying “If my story can help just one girl see hope, my efforts will be fully worth it.” Ali’s power as a role model stimulates numerous disadvantaged youth’s ambition, lifting them out of despair and into dignity. 24. What initially drew Ramla Ali to boxing? A. The need for self-defense. B. The desire for pleasure. C. The pursuit of an athletic career. D. The influence of her brother. 25. What did Ali do in 2025? A. She set up a recycling program for refugee women. B. She collected waste materials for UNICEF in person. C. She organized childcare services in the Dadaab camp. D. She dedicated herself to a women’s recycling group in Kenya. 26. What was Ali’s major concern about the program FilmAid Kenya? A. Qualification. B. Accessibility. C. Funding. D. Equipment. 27. Which of the following best summarizes Ramla Ali’s life journey? A. From a refugee to an advocate. B. From isolation to connection. C. From ignorance to wisdom. D. From a victim to a victor. C Everyone has experienced brain fog after a poor night’s sleep. Now, scientists have identified the precise reason for this unfocused feeling. During deep sleep, the brain is cleaned. The body clears out cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) (脑脊液) to wash away daily waste. If you do not get enough quality sleep, however, this process can be interrupted and is still incomplete when you get out of bed in the morning. To catch up, the brain attempts this cleaning while we are awake — but with a cost. A new study reveals this leads to temporary lapses (走神) in attention, causing that familiar foggy feeling. Researchers from MIT tested 26 volunteers after both a night of sleep deprivation (剥夺) and a night of good sleep. They monitored brain activity and tracked CSF flow using scans while participants performed simple attention tasks, such as pressing a button when a shape changed. As expected, sleep-deprived participants performed worse, with slower responses and missed signals. Importantly, researchers observed a clear pattern: just as attention lapsed, CSF was pushed out of the brain. Once attention recovered, the fluid flowed back in. Professor Laura Lewis explained, “When we’re tired, the brain’s cleaning process — which usually only happens during sleep — can accidentally happen while we’re still awake. This briefly makes it hard to focus.” The study also found early warning signs: about 12 seconds before a lapse, the pupils (the black centers of their eyes) become smaller. According to researcher Zinong Yang, this shows the brain’s attempt to preserve function. “Because it so needs sleep, it tries to enter a sleep-like state to restore some of its ability.” In short, that foggy feeling isn’t just tiredness — it’s your brain literally cleaning itself at the wrong time, briefly trading attention for waste removal. 28. What causes brain fog after a bad night’s sleep? A. The brain stops producing CSF temporarily. B. The brain’s cleaning process occurs when awake. C. The brain produces lots of waste for lack of sleep. D. The brain is lacking in oxygen supply. 29. What did MIT researchers find about sleep-deprived volunteers? A. They missed researchers’ signals unknowingly. B. Their CSF flowed out when attention improved. C. CSF movement matched their attention changes. D. Their brain activity was similar to that of good sleepers. 30. What conclusion can we draw from Zinong Yang’s words? A. The brain stops working when tired. B. The brain tries to adjust when it lacks sleep. C. Pupil size has vital connection with brain activity. D. Attention lapses are uncontrollable and harmful. 31. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. CSF: The Key Fluid for Brain Health B. Sleep Deprivation: How It Harms Brain Function C. MIT Study: Tracking Brain Activity in Volunteers D. Brain Fog: A Result of Wrong-timed Brain Cleaning D Christmas stockings may contain more surprises than usual this year, as children open presents that can talk back. Toymakers in China have declared 2025 the year of artificial intelligence (AI) and are producing robots and teddies that can teach, play and tell stories. In work and play, AI is reshaping childhood. It promises every child the kind of upbringing (养育) previously available only to the rich, with private tutors, personalized courses and tailored entertainment. A childhood fit for a king could become universal. Technology is creating new forms of fun, too. Hollywood may dismiss AI videos as low-quality stuff, but young people are consuming them and making their own. There are well-publicized risks in letting children loose on an evolving technology. Yet childhood may be disrupted most radically by things that AI does when it is behaving as intended. The technology quickly learns what its master likes — and shows more of it. Social-media feeds have already created echo chambers (回声室) where people see only views they agree with. Not only does this destroy serendipity. A favorites-only diet means a child need never learn to tolerate something unfamiliar. One-sided relationships with chatbots present a similar risk. AI companions that never criticize, nor share feelings of their own, are a poor preparation for dealing with imperfect humans. Yes-bots threaten to create children not used to taking turns, who grow up into colleagues unable to compromise (妥协) and partners unfamiliar with the give-and-take required in a relationship. It is a future filled with opportunities and hidden traps. AI shows undeniable potential to improve education and enrich entertainment. It may one day let every child live like a king. But as real kings often discover, a specially designed upbringing can also be a lonely and atomized (自动的) one. The truly privileged may be those whose parents and teachers know when to turn it off. 32. What can we infer from paragraph 2 about AI? A. It makes entertainment more exciting and diverse. B. It challenges the standards of traditional industries. C. It aims to make all children’s experiences luxurious. D. It opens access to high-quality nurturing for all. 33. What does the underlined word “serendipity” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Surprise. B. Treasure. C. Motivation. D. Tradition. 34. What is the main danger of “Yes-bots” in paragraph 4? A. They cost too much for average families. B. They give children inaccurate information. C. They leave children without key social skills. D. They lower children’s interest in real social life. 35. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Talking Toys: Risks in AI Companionship. B. Reshaped Childhood: Promise and Risk of AI. C. A Personalized tutor: AI’s Educational Promise. D. AI Revolution: Technology’s Total Transformation. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 On the Spot: When the Spotlight Breaks Trust Most of us have been put on the spot (尴尬) in a number of different situations, whether at work or among a group of friends. 36 However, you just aren’t ready to give, whether it’s because you don’t know or you’re not willing to share. It is really embarrassing. We are no stranger to putting others on the spot ourselves, usually by accident. Perhaps we ask a sensitive question of a friend in a group setting, or try to push a quiet coworker to share their answers in a meeting. 37 Putting someone on the spot though, whether intentional or not, has the effect of destroying trust in a relationship. The key to maintaining the trust in a relationship is developing your emotional intelligence. 38 As Krauss wrote in a recent Psychology Today article, “A sign that you’re not as considerate as you could be when you pressure people is that others try to stay away from you to the extent that they can.” 39 Are people born with the ability to develop a high level of emotional intelligence, or is that something they are taught? Although the answer is probably a little bit of both, strengthening our emotional intelligence is definitely something we can all do. 40 Many of us have developed them with time to strengthen our emotional intelligence, whether with the help of a professional or through our own trial-and-error. A. People are fed up with the dull and long meetings. B. A core part of that is being able to perceive how others feel. C. It can help us understand and handle a confusing situation. D. Sets of eyes turn toward you with the expectations for an answer. E. There is a debate on whether emotional intelligence is native or not. F. Listening, empathizing, and reflecting are strategies often acquired later in life. G. We may even unknowingly touch a nerve with a family member at a casual gathering. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In a small village on the sun-baked edge of the Sahara, 15-year-old Amara Keita would watch the sun set behind the dunes (沙丘), always puzzled by a single question: Why did such 41 energy go to waste every day?

Amara’s story proves a truth often forgotten: 50 isn’t about having expensive tools, but about spotting potential where others see 51 . “The desert teaches us two things,” he reflects. “How little we have, and how 52 we can make of it.” His next project?

In ancient China, nobles enjoyed a special cold food known as Sushan, 56 many scholars regard as the earliest form of ice cream. The name Sushan, meaning crispy mountain, originally 57 (come) from its shape as well as its breakable structure. It looked like a small mountain of shaved ice 58 (combine) with milk, butter and sugar, and 59 (make) it more popular on special occasions, it was sometimes decorated with flowers and leaves. During the Tang Dynasty, the emperor’s court 60 (far) developed this dessert. Milk was sweetened, sometimes thickened with flour, and then iced through advanced 61 (cool) methods. Metal containers holding the mixture were often placed in ice with saltpeter (硝石), 62 substance that lowers the freezing point of water. This technique made it possible for the upper class to enjoy cold dishes 63 the fact that the weather itself was not that cold. Although Sushan was not exactly the same as modern ice cream, it shared several essential characteristics, and 64 (present) in a partly frozen state occasionally. It reflected not only the 65 (innovate) of ancient Chinese people, but also the special status that frozen desserts held in court life. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分 40 分） 第一节（满分 15 分） 在你校举办的主题为“The Joy of Labor”的微视频大赛中，你的参赛作品获得一等奖，校英文报编辑邀请你写一篇稿件介绍你的作品，内容包括：1．视频内容；2．你的感受。 注意：1．写作词数应为 80 个左右；2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 The Joy of Labor 第二节（满分 25 分） 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。 I headed to the library for my favorite after-school activity: Writing Club. Today, Miss Lisa, our writing club leader, was going to ask us to share our competition entries with a critique partner. A critique means giving helpful feedback so someone can tell their best story. My critique partner was Penny. When I handed my story to her, I was nervous. I had no problem coming up with great story ideas, but I did have problems with spelling. And grammar. And punctuation. By contrast, Penny always got perfect scores on these. Penny didn’t look at me as she pushed her story toward me. I read it without stopping. Why did she seem worried about such an incredible story? It was about a dog named Sunny who saved a family from a flooding river on a stormy night. “I don’t have any suggestions. It’s perfect! You’ll definitely win a prize in the competition!” I told her. “Yours too, Aidan,” she mumbled, passing mine back without a smile. When Miss Lisa called it a day, Penny looked relieved. She jumped up, grabbed her backpack, and everything fell out. She quickly shoved her stuff back in and hurried out of the library. I noticed a book under the table. It must have fallen out of Penny’s bag. I flipped through the book, titled Sunny the Brave. It was just like Penny’s story! I couldn’t believe it — Penny had copied the idea! I felt angry for a moment, but soon I calmed down. I remembered that my job as her critique partner was to give helpful feedback, not to make her feel bad. But what should I say to her? I kept thinking about Penny and her story as I walked home. When I got back, Mom was in the kitchen making dinner with Dad. Dad was chopping vegetables into perfect shapes, and Mom was stirring a sauce on the stove. I realized that Mom and Dad had different skills, which made them a great creative team. With Dad’s attention to detail and Mom’s sense of adventure, their dinners always turned out delicious. 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 school the next morning, I held out the book to Penny, saying “You dropped this.” Suddenly, I thought of how my parents cooked together and an idea popped into my mind. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
