Here are four amazing jobs that might just be perfect for you. Marine Biologist Do you love the ocean and its mysterious creatures? Marine biologists study life in the sea, from tiny plankton to giant whales. They often dive deep into the ocean, where light cannot reach, to observe extraordinary creatures that appear as if they are straight out of science fiction. If you are curious about what lies beneath the surface, this could be your calling. Space Scientist Space scientists explore the universe beyond our planet. They study stars, planets, and galaxies, trying to understand how the universe works. Some work on spacecraft designs, while others analyse data from telescopes. With humans planning to return to the Moon and go to Mars, the field is more exciting than ever. Archaeologist Do you find ancient civilisations fascinating? Archaeologists dig into the past, uncovering buried cities and studying the remains of ancient cultures. They use maps, historical records, and even satellite images to locate lost sites. Some mysteries, such as why the Maya civilisation collapsed, remain unsolved — and archaeologists are still searching for answers. Environmental Consultant If you care about our planet, becoming an environmental consultant might be the right path. These professionals advise businesses and governments on how to reduce pollution and protect natural resources. They combine scientific knowledge with practical solutions to make the world a greener place. Each of these careers offers a chance to look forwards and make a difference. Which one appeals to you most? 21. What do marine biologists and space scientists have in common? A. They both work with advanced technology. B. They both explore places that are largely unknown. C. They both study ancient civilisations. D. They both advise governments on environmental issues. 22. What does an archaeologist do? A. Study life in the deep ocean. B. Design spacecraft for space travel. C. Uncover remains of ancient cultures. D. Help businesses reduce pollution. 23. What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To compare different scientific fields. B. To introduce careers related to exploration. C. To explain why the Maya civilisation collapsed. D. To encourage people to become astronauts. B When Zhang Yue returned to her hometown after graduating from university overseas, she never expected to find her future there. Growing up in a small city known for its rose industry, she had always dreamed of leaving. The rows upon rows of rose plants seemed ordinary to her — something she had seen every day since childhood. But this time, things looked different. Walking through the fields, she noticed tourists taking photos among the roses. Local shops were selling rose-themed products, from cosmetics to rose-flavoured snacks. Yet many of these products were imported from other regions, even though the roses themselves were grown right there. Zhang realised the potential. “Why aren’t we making these products ourselves?” she asked herself. She saw an opportunity to turn local roses into high-quality goods that could be sold both locally and online. It was a business idea that combined traditional farming with modern entrepreneurship. Starting her own business was not easy. She faced obstacles at every stage — finding investors, securing a workshop, and learning about product development. There were moments when she felt dizzy with stress, especially when presenting her plan to potential partners. But she took a deep breath and pushed forward. Today, Zhang’s company produces a wide range of rose-based products. Her success has inspired other young people in the area to start their own ventures. “Sometimes,” she says, “the best opportunities are the ones right in front of you — you just need to look at them with fresh eyes.” 24. How did Zhang Yue feel about her hometown’s rose industry when she was young? A. She found it mysterious. B. She thought it was ordinary. C. She considered it profitable. D. She believed it was outdated. 25. What did Zhang Yue notice upon her return that sparked her business idea? A. Local shops were selling imported rose products. B. Tourists were no longer interested in the roses. C. The roses were not growing well that year. D. Many young people were leaving the town. 26. What difficulty did Zhang Yue face when starting her business? A. She could not find good-quality roses. B. She lacked knowledge about farming. C. She struggled to get funding and resources. D. She had no experience living overseas. 27. What message does the story convey? A. Opportunities often hide in familiar places. B. Overseas education is essential for success. C. Traditional industries are doomed to fail. D. Young people should leave their hometowns. C We are enrolled in a full-time school called “life”. Every day in this school, we have opportunities to learn new lessons. Some lessons are pleasant, while others are painful. But all of them are valuable if we are willing to receive them. I remember a lesson I learned from my grandfather. He was a man of few words, but his actions spoke volumes. When I was a teenager, I complained to him about how unfair life seemed. My friends had newer bikes, nicer clothes, and more pocket money. I felt sorry for myself. Instead of offering comfort, my grandfather took me to his workshop. He handed me a piece of wood and some tools. “Make something,” he said. “Anything you like.” I spent the afternoon struggling with the wood. My first attempt was ugly and uneven. My second was slightly better. By the end of the day, I had made a small wooden bird. It was far from perfect, but I felt proud. “Now,” my grandfather said, holding up my creation, “this bird didn’t come from nowhere. It came from your effort, your patience, and your willingness to try. That’s how life works. You don’t get what you wish for — you get what you work for.” That lesson stayed with me. Whenever I face difficulties, I remind myself that life is not about waiting for good things to happen. It is about rolling up your sleeves and making them happen. 28. According to the author, what kind of school is life? A. A place where lessons are always enjoyable. B. A place where we can learn valuable lessons. C. A school that only teaches practical skills. D. A school that focuses on academic subjects. 29. Why did the author complain to his grandfather? A. He did not like his grandfather’s workshop. B. He felt that life was treating him unfairly. C. He wanted a new bike for his birthday. D. He was bored with his school studies. 30. What did the author learn from making the wooden bird? A. Woodworking is a useful skill to master. B. Patience is more important than effort. C. Achievements come from hard work. D. Perfection is impossible to achieve. 31. What does the phrase “rolling up your sleeves” in the last paragraph most likely mean? A. Preparing to work hard. B. Giving up on a task. C. Waiting for help from others. D. Avoiding difficult situations. D Is cash becoming a thing of the past? With the rise of smartphones and digital payments, more and more people are choosing to pay without using physical money. But is this shift always a good thing? Supporters of non-cash payments point to their convenience. You can pay for everything with a quick scan of a barcode — no more carrying heavy coins or worrying about losing your wallet. Many also argue that digital transactions are more hygienic (卫生的), as coins and notes can carry germs. However, critics raise valid concerns. First, there is the security issue. Phones can be stolen or hacked, potentially giving criminals access to your bank accounts. Second, digital payments may encourage over-consumption. When you use cash, you can only spend what you have in your wallet. But with electronic payments, it is easier to spend beyond your means. Third, not everyone is comfortable with technology. The elderly, in particular, may feel excluded from a cashless society. Perhaps the solution is not to abandon cash completely, but to find a balance. As one online commenter put it, “We could talk about using money less often, rather than replacing it for good.” The future of payments is still uncertain. What is clear, however, is that we need to think carefully about the kind of society we want to create — one that is convenient, but also safe and inclusive for everyone. 32. What is one advantage of non-cash payments mentioned in the passage? A. They are safer from hackers. B. They help people save more money. C. They are more convenient than cash. D. They are preferred by the elderly. 33. According to critics, what problem might digital payments cause? A. People might spend more than they should. B. Coins and notes might become worthless. C. Banks might stop offering cash services. D. Smartphones might become too expensive. 34. According to the passage, who might be particularly disadvantaged in a cashless society? A. Young people who use smartphones daily. B. Elderly people who are not comfortable with technology. C. Business owners who prefer cash payments. D. Tourists who visit from other countries. 35. What is the author’s attitude towards non-cash payments? A. Strongly supportive. B. Completely opposed. C. Balanced and thoughtful. D. Indifferent and uninterested. 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。 How to Make Better Decisions Every day, we make countless decisions — from what to eat for breakfast to which career path to follow. Some decisions are trivial (不重要的), while others can shape our entire future. 36 . Consider your options carefully. Before making an important decision, take time to explore all possible choices. 37 When faced with a choice, ask yourself: What are the advantages and disadvantages of each option? What are the potential outcomes? Trust your experience. Your past experiences are valuable teachers. 38 If a similar situation did not end well before, you might want to approach it differently this time. However, do not let past failures prevent you from taking calculated risks. Avoid overthinking. While it is important to think before you act, spending too much time analysing can lead to “paralysis by analysis”. 39 Sometimes, the best decision is made with a balance of reason and intuition (直觉). Learn from the outcome. 40 Whether your decision leads to success or failure, there is always something to learn. Reflect on what worked and what didn’t, and use those insights to make better choices in the future. A. No decision is ever perfect. B. They have taught you what works and what doesn’t. C. So how can we make decisions more wisely? D. Every decision comes with some level of uncertainty. E. At some point, you simply have to make a choice and move forward. F. Writing down your thoughts can help clarify your thinking. G. Rushing into a decision without thinking is rarely a good idea. 第三部分 语言运用（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、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When I was a child, my family lived in a small house near the woods. Every evening, my grandmother would sit on the porch and tell me stories about her youth. She had lived through hard times — wars, poverty, and the loss of loved ones. Yet she always wore a 41 on her face. One day, I asked her, “Grandma, how can you be so happy when you’ve been through so much 42 ?” She smiled and said, “Life is like a garden, my dear. You can focus on the weeds, or you can 43 the flowers. I choose to see the flowers.” Those words stayed with me. As I grew older, I began to 44 what she meant. Life is full of challenges, but it is also full of 45 . It is up to us to decide where we direct our 46 . In high school, I faced my own set of difficulties. I struggled with my studies and often felt 47 . There were times when I wanted to give up. But then I remembered my grandmother’s words. Instead of 48 on my failures, I started to celebrate small victories — a good grade on a quiz, a kind word from a teacher, a 49 moment with a friend. Gradually, my outlook began to 50 . I realised that happiness is not something that happens to us — it is something we 51 . Now, whenever I face a 52 situation, I ask myself: “Where are the flowers in this garden?” Almost always, I find them. They may be small and 53 , but they are there. My grandmother passed away last year, but her 54 continues to guide me. She taught me that life’s greatest lesson is not about avoiding pain, but about finding 55 in spite of it. 41.

The stars have always been a source of 56 (curious) and inspiration. Today, space exploration is no longer just a dream — it is a reality. Since several organisations plan to put the first humans on Mars by 2030, we are entering a new chapter in space travel. This ambition, however, comes with enormous challenges, 57 include radiation and extreme temperatures. Despite 58 (face) these difficulties, many scientists believe that exploring space 59 (be) essential for our future. It pushes the boundaries of human knowledge and drives technological innovation. The 60 (great) mystery of all, perhaps, is what we might discover out there. China has made remarkable progress in space exploration in recent years. The country has launched numerous satellites and completed crewed missions. Chinese astronauts, 61 (know) as taikonauts, have conducted experiments in space and contributed 62 international scientific research. Looking ahead, the future of space exploration is full of possibilities. Some envision (预想) permanent bases on the Moon, 63 others dream of travelling to distant galaxies. While there is no need for us to shrink from these new 64 (situation), we should always proceed with caution and wisdom. One thing is certain: the human desire 65 (explore) the unknown will never fade. As we look up at the stars, we are not just looking at light from the past — we are looking at our future. 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，你校英文报计划增设一个新栏目，现有两个备选方案：A．“Career Exploration”（职业探索），介绍不同职业的特点和发展前景；B．“Life Stories”（人生故事），分享普通人生活中的感悟与成长故事。请你给校报编辑写一封邮件，选择一个方案并说明理由。 注意： 1．写作词数应为80左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Editor, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 第二节 读后续写（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。 It was a cold December morning when I first saw the dog. I was walking home from school when I noticed a thin, trembling figure huddled (蜷缩) against a wall near the park. Its fur was matted (无光泽的) and dirty, and its ribs were visible through its coat. The dog looked up at me with eyes that held both fear and hope. I stopped. Something about those eyes made my heart ache. I knelt down slowly, extending my hand. The dog flinched (退缩) at first, but then took a tentative (试探性的) step forward. I could see it was injured — one of its front legs was bent at an awkward angle. “Hey there, boy,” I said softly. “It’s okay. I won’t hurt you.” The dog wagged its tail weakly. I knew I couldn’t just leave it there. Winter was coming, and the temperatures were dropping fast. Without thinking, I took off my scarf and wrapped it around the shivering animal. Then, carefully, I picked it up. The dog whimpered (呜咽) in pain but did not resist. I carried it all the way home. My mother was shocked when she saw me walk in with a dirty, injured dog. “Absolutely not,” she said firmly. “We cannot afford a pet. And we don’t even know if it has diseases.” “Please, Mom,” I begged. “Just for one night. It’s freezing outside. I’ll take it to the animal shelter tomorrow.” My mother sighed and finally agreed. That night, I made a bed for the dog in the corner of my room using an old blanket. I gave it some water and a piece of bread, which it ate hungrily. As I watched the dog fall asleep, I noticed a collar around its neck. I gently turned it over and saw a small metal tag with a phone number. The next morning, I called the number. A woman answered, and when I described the dog, she burst into tears. “That’s Max!” she cried. “He’s been missing for three weeks! We thought we’d never see him again.” 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 An hour later, Max’s owner, Mrs. Thompson, arrived at my door. ___________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Watching Mrs. Thompson and Max walk away, I felt a mixture of sadness and warmth. __________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
