This project began after Mike Wavell and Anthony Lewis visited Sri Lanka with the charity Side by Side.During their visit,they learned that many schools in Sri Lanka would not be closing for the summer because there is nowhere else for the children to go.Without school,the children would have no safe place to stay or people to look after them.During their first visit,they met with teachers from a school in Matara,a town that was heavily hit by the tsunami.A quarter of the students in the school had been directly affected by the disaster,either by losing family members or their homes.The teachers were surprised by the ongoing emotional and educational challenges the students faced,like struggling to focus in class or feeling sad when talking about their past lives. Mr Wavell explained that the project was challenging,especially given the difficult conditions in the area.However,he believed the teachers would get valuable experience and skills from the experience.He hoped that their efforts would inspire more teachers to volunteer like him and made a marked difference to the area "We'll pilot the project and see how it goes,"said Mr Wavell.The teachers'work would help children not only improve their English but also offer a sense of community and hope for the future.Through education,they aimed to support the children's recovering process and help them rebuild their lives after the disaster. 24.What made the two teachers come to Sri Lanka? A.A natural disaster. B.A formal invitation C.Atraining project. D.An impressive view. 25.Why were many schools in Sri Lanka open in the summer? A.To attract students to attend camps. B.To house the homeless children. 英语第3页共8页 C.To prepare for the new school year. D.To help students continue the school education. 26.What did Mr Wavell expect other teachers to do according to paragraph 3? A.Follow his example. B.Give money to the school. C.Volunteer in other countries. D.Share their teaching experience. 27.What could be a suitable title for the text? A.Summer Holiday Plans of Teachers in Sri Lanka B.Side by Side Charity's Help for Homeless Children C.Two Jersey Teachers Teaching English to Tsunami-Affected Children D.The Difficult Conditions of Schools in Matara After the Tsunami Screens are steadily taking over more and more of our life,leading some researchers to worry about the effect of long-term use on older adults'brain.It has been suggested that this might lead to so-called "digital dementia"-that depending on digital technology throughout our life might harm cognitive( functioning in our later years. But new research indicates this view doesn't appear to be true,at least for the"digital pioneer" generation who first routinely used smartphones,computers and the Internet-and who are now reaching the age when cognitive decline often starts to appear. In a paper published on Monday in Nature Human Behaviour,researchers analyzed 57 studies of digital technology use and cognitive function in more than 400,000 older adults across the world.They found that people in the"digital pioneer"generation who engaged more with digital technology did not have higher rates of cognitive decline.In fact,technology use was associated with lower rates of cognitive decline. One reason some researchers worried about "digital dementia"was previous research that linked television viewing,a passive activity,with negative outcomes such as an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease(阿尔茨海默症).“On the surface,most computer or smartphone screentime might seem similarly passive,"says the new paper's co-author Michael Scullin,a neuroscience researcher at Baylor University. "But for this group of middle-aged and older adults,phones and computers have been used for mentally stimulating activities and for social connections,such as solving puzzles,engaging with the news,chatting with friends,or using reminders and alarms to help with daily activities." "This study provides a strong challenge to the widespread fears about 'digital dementia'and highlights the potential of technology as a tool for cognitive enrichment,"says Chiara Scarampi,a neuroscientist at the University of Geneva,who was not involved with the study."Digital dementia'has always felt like a catchy but overstated concept to me,"she adds."Cognitive offloading-using tools like reminders or GPS-is not harmful by nature.In fact,it can free up cognitive resources for more complex tasks." 28.What do we know about the"digital pioneer"generation? A.They are addicted to digital technology.B.They start using digital tools at an old age. C.They are the first to use digital tools regularly. D.They start suffering from sharp cognitive decline 29.What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A.The widespread use of digital tools B.The analysis of the new research finding C.The great complexity of mental activities. D.The implication of the previous research finding. 30.What is Scarampi's attitude toward"digital dementia"? A.Approving. B.Tolerant. C.Critical. D.Unclear 英语第4页共8页 31.Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A.Responsible Technology Use Matters. B.Cognitive Decline Isn't Just about Aging C.Digital Tools May Actually Enhance Our Life D.Tech Use Isn't Driving Dementia in Older Adults D Suppose you're preparing for a tennis match.Your mind wanders,envisioning (every possible outcome.Do you picture yourself in control?Or does your imagination toy with the idea of failure?The answer matters because it could affect your confidence and,ultimately,how well you will perform in the upcoming match.Although people don't take such moments spent in their imagination as seriously as they should,it can be just as vital as any physical practice,directly impacting your chances of success. This is especially the case in high-pressure situations where what's happening inside your mind outweighs what's happening outside.Your imagination shapes how you interpret the world around you and is capable of causing the same physiological and emotional responses that are caused by external, real-life events.To take just one example,just as emotional pictures and sounds can cause the pupils to widen,so can emotional mental images in the mind. Another phenomenon highlighting the significance of the imagination is called functional equivalence ()which refers to the way the brain doesn't always distinguish between imagining an action and physically doing it.For instance,when athletes vividly imagine running a race or sinking a basket,their brain scans reveal that the same neural circuits (are activated as if they were physically performing the task.Other research with athletes using functional MRI(磁共振成像)has shown that mental practice engages regions of the brain involved in controlling the body and also activates areas linked to focus,motivation and emotional regulation. The principle of functional equivalence extends beyond sports.In one study,pianists were asked to picture moving their fingers across the keys,hearing the tune,and seeing the sheet music.Astonishingly, the same motor areas in their brains lit up as when they actually played. Many studies like this have proved the connection between mental imagery and real-world performance.Whether you're aiming to build confidence or prepare for a challenge,using your imagination with more intention could make all the difference.The key is to switch your mental channel to an image of capability,control and empowerment. 32.How does the author start the text? A.By giving a definition. B.By explaining an opinion C.By sharing an experience. D.By presenting a context. 33.In which aspect is mental imagery the same as actual occurrences according to the text? A.Requiring body movements. B.Causing emotional responses. C.Affecting physical functions. D.Strengthening visual reactions. 34.In which case may functional equivalence occur? A.A doctor envisions the procedure of an operation. B.A learner conducts a discussion with a professor. C.A pianist videos finger movements for perfection. D.A speaker practices a deep breath before a speech. 35.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Positive emotion brightens your life. B.Imagination promotes your creativity C.Mental imagery increases your success. D.Physical practice unlocks your potential 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，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。 英语第5页共8页 Overcoming the Fear of the Unknown The first step in overcoming fear is to admit it openly and honestly.Many people ignore their fear of the unknown,hoping it will disappear.36 Instead,accept the fear:It is natural to feel afraid when facing uncertainty.Admitting your fear lets you take control rather than be controlled by it. 37_.The unknown feels overwhelming(无法抗拒的)because of unpredictable(难以预料的) factors,but you can always influence some parts of a situation.List these controllable elements,such as your preparation,attitude,and effort when starting something new.Moving attention from what you cannot change to what you can change can reduce anxiety,making uncertainty feel more manageable How you see the unknown directly affects your fear.If you only view uncertainty as possible failure, your fear will grow.38 This shift (in mindset can let you welcome new possibilities Overcoming fear does not need big steps;small and steady actions work better.Challenge yourself with small daily uncertainties,like trying a new food or taking a different path.Each small step builds confidence,slowly enlarging your comfort zone.39 Mindfulness helps calm anxiety and keeps you realistic in uncertainty.40 .When anxious thoughts appear,focus on the present.Regular mindfulness builds a calm,balanced way to face the unknown,helping you deal with uncertainty gently and effectively. A.Focus on what you can control B.However,pretending fear does not exist only gives it more power C.But if you can see it as a chance for learning,everything will change D.Reflecting on the past good experiences can improve your confidence E.Techniques like mindful observation pull you back from future worries F.Seeking support from others can provide you with different perspective G.These small wins add up,making the unknown less frightening over time 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、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My husband and I had a lovely dinner at a local restaurant and then took a stroll through the near shopping center.We went into a shop that sold handcrafted 41,hoping to find some last-minute Christmas gifts.As we entered,the delightful scent of handmade soaps and potpourri (42 us.

About an hour later,when I was approaching the top,I caught a weak,soft cry.I stopped at once, looking around to find where the sound came from.Soon,I spotted a small golden dog hiding in the bushes(灌木丛)，its right front leg bleeding badly.It was shivering(颤抖)all over,obviously scared and in pain.When I tried to get close,it backed away nervously,letting out a low whine () Looking at its pale(苍白的)face and the blood staining(沾染)the grass around it,.I felt my heart break.I quickly took out the first-aid kit (I always carried for hiking-my dad had reminded me to take it every time I went out alone,just in case of emergencies ()I spoke to it in a soft voice to calm it down,telling it I wouldn't hurt it.Slowly,it trusted me enough to let me touch its warm fur E).I cleaned the wound gently with the disinfectant (in the kit,wrapped it tightly with a bandage ()and gave it some water and a piece of bread I had prepared for my lunch. But soon,a problem came to my mind.I held it carefully in my arms,feeling its small body breathing lightly.I really wanted to take it home,but my parents had always refused to keep pets,saying they were too busy with their work to take care of one,and worried that keeping a dog would affect my study.What if I took it home and they made me send it away?What if I left it here,it would get hurt again by wild animals or fall off the path?I sat there on the rock,holding the warm little dog in my arms,completely stuck. 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: Just as I was hesitating,I heard a worried voice calling from the distance.

I looked up abruptly and saw a breathless woman running hurriedly towards me, her anxious eyes firmly fixed on the little injured dog in my arms. It turned out she was the dog’s owner, Mrs. Green, who had been searching anxiously for her lovely pet for two whole hours after it accidentally ran away from home while she was taking a walk. After learning what had happened, she was extremely relieved and overwhelmed with gratitude. She praised me for my kindness and careful treatment. After we carefully checked and confirmed the dog’s wound was properly dressed and not bleeding anymore, she insisted on driving me home as a sincere way to thank me. Paragraph 2: A week later, I deliberately spared some spare time to visit the little dog at its warm home. The cute golden dog spotted me the instant I arrived, and it ran towards me excitedly with its tail wagging wildly. Amazingly, its wounded leg was already recovering well and barely affected its movement. Mrs. Green welcomed me warmly and told me sincerely that I was welcome to come over to play with the lovely dog anytime I wanted. Deeply inspired by this warm and touching experience, I later took the initiative to join the local animal rescue club as a volunteer, determined to devote my spare time to helping more helpless and lovely little animals in need in the future. 附听力原文： Text 1（话题：放学后的安排） W: Hi, Mike, our physics project is due tomorrow. ① Do you want to come over to my place after school to work ⌒ on ⌒ it? M: Of course! (1) You know, my family just moved into a new house, and I haven’t set up my study area yet! ① 本句中“work on it”之间存在“辅音和元音的连读”现象：/wɜːrk ɑːn ɪt/。 Text 2（话题：外出就餐的便利） M: Do you often cook? W: Yes. I love home cooking, especially when celebrating with all family members. However, it can take a long time and is quite tiring, so sometimes it’s easier just to eat out. (2) M: Yeah. Fast food is not expensive but can quickly fill your stomach. Text 3（话题：寒假计划） M: Are you doing anything exciting over the winter break, Louise? W: Yes, my dad and I are going skiing in Switzerland, and then we’re flying to Thailand to relax on the beaches there. What about you? M: We’re going to Australia to enjoy the sunny weather. (3) Text 4（话题：家里的兄弟姐妹） M: Mom, a boy in my class is the only child in his family! Can you believe it? W: Every family is different, though I guess you must be glad you’ve got two sisters.

M: That makes sense. Anything else? W: Try to find a place close enough for him to walk to work. ② If walking isn’t possible, look for a place near transport links, like a bus stop. Having a subway station within five minutes’ walk was a big deal for me. (9) M: OK. What about furniture? W: Some houses come with furniture, but some don’t. M: I see. I’ll tell him to check carefully before renting. ② 本句中“isn’t possible”之间存在“失去爆破”现象：“isn’t”最后一个音为爆破音 /t/，possible 第一个音为爆破音 /p/，两者遇到一起，前面的爆破音做出发音的准备，但并不发音。 Text 8（第10题为推断题）（话题：做志愿服务） M: Hi, Elaine.

You can go to the open-air souvenir markets to shop for authentic Fijian crafts (工艺品) like wooden kava bowls and visit the Fiji Museum. You can also attend Fire walking ceremony, the traditional practice of fire walking, where men walk barefoot across hot stones. Best Time to Go There is no bad time for Fiji vacations. However, November to April is the wet season, when temperatures and humidity (湿度) are higher and there is a greater risk of hurricanes. August and October are some of the most popular months to visit Fiji’s islands, but this also means you will have to deal with high-season crowds and prices. Brave the heavy but short downpours in the wet season if you want to escape the crowds and get some great deals. Accommodation & Transport & Food Some restaurants are expensive and attract the world’s rich and famous, but you can find much cheaper options with equally beautiful locations. Budget hotels start at around $30 a night for a double room with sea views. If you don’t mind getting about on a bus, you will find this is a cheap and efficient form of transport. Traveling from Suva to Nadi, for example, costs around $25 for a four-hour trip. You can eat for as little as 5insmallrestaurants, and mid — range restaurants start at around 15 for a meal. Many accommodation options include meals, so you can take full advantage of this to save some money. All up, Fiji is a very reasonably priced destination with priceless experiences on offer. So, what are you waiting for? 21. What can tourists do in Fiji? A. Witness a special ceremony. B. Walk on hot stones with shoes. C. Shop in large indoor souvenir markets. D. Make wooden kava bowls by themselves. 22. In which month are people more likely to avoid crowds of tourists? A. May. B. July. C. September. D. December. 23. What can be learned about Fiji? A. It is friendly to budget tourists. B. It takes five hours to get there. C. It can be reached only by bus. D. It offers free meals in any hotel. B Two teachers from Jersey were travelling to Sri Lanka to teach English to children whose lives were deeply affected by the Boxing Day Tsunami. They volunteered their time to help these children during their summer holidays, giving up their own plans of resting or travelling to provide support for children still recovering from the disaster. This project began after Mike Wavell and Anthony Lewis visited Sri Lanka with the charity (慈善机构) Side by Side. During their visit, they learned that many schools in Sri Lanka would not be closing for the summer because there is nowhere else for the children to go. Without school, the children would have no safe place to stay or people to look after them. During their first visit, they met with teachers from a school in Matara, a town that was heavily hit by the tsunami. A quarter of the students in the school had been directly affected by the disaster, either by losing family members or their homes. The teachers were surprised by the ongoing emotional and educational challenges the students faced, like struggling to focus in class or feeling sad when talking about their past lives. Mr Wavell explained that the project was challenging, especially given the difficult conditions in the area. However, he believed the teachers would get valuable experience and skills from the experience. He hoped that their efforts would inspire more teachers to volunteer like him and made a marked difference to the area. “We’ll pilot the project and see how it goes,” said Mr Wavell. The teachers’ work would help children not only improve their English but also offer a sense of community and hope for the future. Through education, they aimed to support the children’s recovering process and help them rebuild their lives after the disaster. 24. What made the two teachers come to Sri Lanka? A. A natural disaster. B. A formal invitation. C. A training project. D. An impressive view. 25. Why were many schools in Sri Lanka open in the summer? A. To attract students to attend camps. B. To house the homeless children. C. To prepare for the new school year. D. To help students continue the school education. 26. What did Mr Wavell expect other teachers to do according to paragraph 3? A. Follow his example. B. Give money to the school. C. Volunteer in other countries. D. Share their teaching experience. 27. What could be a suitable title for the text? A. Summer Holiday Plans of Teachers in Sri Lanka B. Side by Side Charity’s Help for Homeless Children C. Two Jersey Teachers Teaching English to Tsunami-Affected Children D. The Difficult Conditions of Schools in Matara After the Tsunami C Screens are steadily taking over more and more of our life, leading some researchers to worry about the effect of long-term use on older adults’ brain. It has been suggested that this might lead to so-called “digital dementia” — that depending on digital technology throughout our life might harm cognitive (认知的) functioning in our later years. But new research indicates this view doesn’t appear to be true, at least for the “digital pioneer” generation who first routinely used smartphones, computers and the Internet — and who are now reaching the age when cognitive decline often starts to appear. In a paper published on Monday in Nature Human Behaviour, researchers analyzed 57 studies of digital technology use and cognitive function in more than 400,000 older adults across the world. They found that people in the “digital pioneer” generation who engaged more with digital technology did not have higher rates of cognitive decline. In fact, technology use was associated with lower rates of cognitive decline. One reason some researchers worried about “digital dementia” was previous research that linked television viewing, a passive activity, with negative outcomes such as an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默症). “On the surface, most computer or smartphone screentime might seem similarly passive,” says the new paper’s co-author Michael Scullin, a neuroscience researcher at Baylor University. “But for this group of middle-aged and older adults, phones and computers have been used for mentally stimulating activities and for social connections, such as solving puzzles, engaging with the news, chatting with friends, or using reminders and alarms to help with daily activities.” “This study provides a strong challenge to the widespread fears about ‘digital dementia’ and highlights the potential of technology as a tool for cognitive enrichment,” says Chiara Scarampi, a neuroscientist at the University of Geneva, who was not involved with the study. “‘Digital dementia’ has always felt like a catchy but overstated concept to me,” she adds. “Cognitive offloading — using tools like reminders or GPS — is not harmful by nature. In fact, it can free up cognitive resources for more complex tasks.” 28. What do we know about the “digital pioneer” generation? A. They are addicted to digital technology. B. They start using digital tools at an old age. C. They are the first to use digital tools regularly. D. They start suffering from sharp cognitive decline. 29. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The widespread use of digital tools. B. The analysis of the new research finding. C. The great complexity of mental activities. D. The implication of the previous research finding. 30. What is Scarampi’s attitude toward “digital dementia”? A. Approving. B. Tolerant. C. Critical. D. Unclear. 31. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Responsible Technology Use Matters. B. Cognitive Decline Isn’t Just about Aging. C. Digital Tools May Actually Enhance Our Life. D. Tech Use Isn’t Driving Dementia in Older Adults. D Suppose you’re preparing for a tennis match. Your mind wanders, envisioning (预想) every possible outcome. Do you picture yourself in control? Or does your imagination toy with the idea of failure? The answer matters because it could affect your confidence and, ultimately, how well you will perform in the upcoming match. Although people don’t take such moments spent in their imagination as seriously as they should, it can be just as vital as any physical practice, directly impacting your chances of success. This is especially the case in high-pressure situations where what’s happening inside your mind outweighs what’s happening outside. Your imagination shapes how you interpret the world around you and is capable of causing the same physiological (生理的) and emotional responses that are caused by external, real-life events. To take just one example, just as emotional pictures and sounds can cause the pupils to widen, so can emotional mental images in the mind. Another phenomenon highlighting the significance of the imagination is called functional equivalence (相等), which refers to the way the brain doesn’t always distinguish between imagining an action and physically doing it. For instance, when athletes vividly imagine running a race or sinking a basket, their brain scans reveal that the same neural circuits (神经回路) are activated as if they were physically performing the task. Other research with athletes using functional MRI (磁共振成像) has shown that mental practice engages regions of the brain involved in controlling the body and also activates areas linked to focus, motivation and emotional regulation. The principle of functional equivalence extends beyond sports. In one study, pianists were asked to picture moving their fingers across the keys, hearing the tune, and seeing the sheet music. Astonishingly, the same motor areas in their brains lit up as when they actually played. Many studies like this have proved the connection between mental imagery and real-world performance. Whether you’re aiming to build confidence or prepare for a challenge, using your imagination with more intention could make all the difference. The key is to switch your mental channel to an image of capability, control and empowerment. 32. How does the author start the text? A. By giving a definition. B. By explaining an opinion. C. By sharing an experience. D. By presenting a context. 33. In which aspect is mental imagery the same as actual occurrences according to the text? A. Requiring body movements. B. Causing emotional responses. C. Affecting physical functions. D. Strengthening visual reactions. 34. In which case may functional equivalence occur? A. A doctor envisions the procedure of an operation. B. A learner conducts a discussion with a professor. C. A pianist videos finger movements for perfection. D. A speaker practices a deep breath before a speech. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Positive emotion brightens your life. B. Imagination promotes your creativity. C. Mental imagery increases your success. D. Physical practice unlocks your potential. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，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。 Overcoming the Fear of the Unknown The first step in overcoming fear is to admit it openly and honestly. Many people ignore their fear of the unknown, hoping it will disappear. 36 Instead, accept the fear: It is natural to feel afraid when facing uncertainty. Admitting your fear lets you take control rather than be controlled by it. 37 . The unknown feels overwhelming (无法抗拒的) because of unpredictable (难以预料的) factors, but you can always influence some parts of a situation. List these controllable elements, such as your preparation, attitude, and effort when starting something new. Moving attention from what you cannot change to what you can change can reduce anxiety, making uncertainty feel more manageable. How you see the unknown directly affects your fear. If you only view uncertainty as possible failure, your fear will grow. 38 This shift (改变) in mindset can let you welcome new possibilities. Overcoming fear does not need big steps; small and steady actions work better. Challenge yourself with small daily uncertainties, like trying a new food or taking a different path. Each small step builds confidence, slowly enlarging your comfort zone. 39 Mindfulness helps calm anxiety and keeps you realistic in uncertainty. 40 . When anxious thoughts appear, focus on the present. Regular mindfulness builds a calm, balanced way to face the unknown, helping you deal with uncertainty gently and effectively. A. Focus on what you can control B. However, pretending fear does not exist only gives it more power C. But if you can see it as a chance for learning, everything will change D. Reflecting on the past good experiences can improve your confidence E. Techniques like mindful observation pull you back from future worries F. Seeking support from others can provide you with different perspective G. These small wins add up, making the unknown less frightening over time 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、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My husband and I had a lovely dinner at a local restaurant and then took a stroll through the near shopping center. We went into a shop that sold handcrafted 41 , hoping to find some last-minute Christmas gifts. As we entered, the delightful scent of handmade soaps and potpourri (百花香) 42 us. Every shelf and wall was 43 with different handiwork. While exploring, I noticed a wooden plaque (牌匾) on a wall. Immediately I was 44 by the message on it: “Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning to dance in the rain.” This message held deep 45 for me. It made me think back to a hot and muggy summer day. Dark clouds had 46 along the foothills of the Rockies, bringing rain. I walked out to get my mail. I didn’t know what 47 me, but I suddenly felt forced to do something a little 48 for my fifty-plus years. I slipped off my shoes and stockings and began walking 49 through the water. My neighbors might have thought I’d lost my 50 , but I didn’t care. In that moment, I was 51 from the worries of bills, the future, and daily cares. I was experiencing a gift — a pure and simple moment of 52 ! Now, the plaque hangs in my living room. I 53 it multiple times a day and often pause to ask myself if I’m dancing in the rain. I think I am. I know I try to. I’m definitely 54 to taking time to pause and recognize and be grateful for the 55 around me — the joys that were too often going unnoticed in my rush to future happiness. One step at a time, I am learning to dance in the rain! 41. A. items B. forms C. ingredients D. contents 42. A. choked B. followed C. greeted D. stuck 43.

Unlike modern furniture 57 uses nails or glue to fix parts together, this traditional technique connects wooden parts by cutting matching shapes into each piece. This method not only makes the furniture 58 (extreme) strong and durable, but also gives it a beautiful, clean look without any extra decorations. 59 the past thousands of years, mortise and tenon has been used in almost all kinds of Chinese wooden works, from small daily chairs to the giant wooden palaces in the Palace Museum. Even today, many traditional carpenters (木匠) still use this ancient skill 60 (make) furniture that is both practical and artistic. Now, this traditional technique 61 (regard) as a national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产), and it is also drawing wide attention from all over the world. Many foreign designers 62 (begin) to learn from this ancient Chinese skill in recent years, hoping to create more environment-friendly furniture. A famous German designer once said that mortise and tenon was 63 amazing ancient invention that could help reduce waste in the furniture industry. It is believed that this ancient Chinese wisdom will continue to inspire more people around the world to value 64 (environment) protection, and show the world 65 smart ancient Chinese craftsmen were. 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，你校英语俱乐部计划于下周五举办以“英文经典阅读”（The Sharing Session of English Classic Reading）为主题的读书分享会活动，旨在激发同学们的英文阅读兴趣。请你给外教Mr. Chris写一封邮件，邀请他担任本次活动的点评嘉宾。内容包括： 1．活动的时间与地点； 2．活动的主要内容； 3．邀请他承担的工作。 注意： 1．写作词数应为80左右； 2．可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear Mr. Chris,​ 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。 Last weekend, after a busy week of exams, I was totally worn out and eager for a break. That’s why I went hiking (徒步远足) alone on the Green Hill near my city, a place I often visited to escape the busy school life. Along the way, I stopped several times to take photos of the wild flowers blooming (盛开) by the path, and watched a group of squirrels (松鼠) jumping between the trees. I enjoyed the fresh air and the soft wind brushing through my hair, walking slowly along the path while listening to birds singing. About an hour later, when I was approaching the top, I caught a weak, soft cry. I stopped at once, looking around to find where the sound came from. Soon, I spotted a small golden dog hiding in the bushes (灌木丛), its right front leg bleeding badly. It was shivering (颤抖) all over, obviously scared and in pain. When I tried to get close, it backed away nervously, letting out a low whine (哀鸣). Looking at its pale (苍白的) face and the blood staining (沾染) the grass around it, I felt my heart break. I quickly took out the first-aid kit (急救包) I always carried for hiking — my dad had reminded me to take it every time I went out alone, just in case of emergencies (紧急情况). I spoke to it in a soft voice to calm it down, telling it I wouldn’t hurt it. Slowly, it trusted me enough to let me touch its warm fur (皮毛). I cleaned the wound gently with the disinfectant (消毒液) in the kit, wrapped it tightly with a bandage (绷带), and gave it some water and a piece of bread I had prepared for my lunch. But soon, a problem came to my mind. I held it carefully in my arms, feeling its small body breathing lightly. I really wanted to take it home, but my parents had always refused to keep pets, saying they were too busy with their work to take care of one, and worried that keeping a dog would affect my study. What if I took it home and they made me send it away? What if I left it here, it would get hurt again by wild animals or fall off the path? I sat there on the rock, holding the warm little dog in my arms, completely stuck. 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: Just as I was hesitating, I heard a worried voice calling from the distance. Paragraph 2: A week later, I deliberately spared some spare time to visit the little dog at its warm home. ( 英语 第 1 页 共 5 页 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
