During this week, students from different classes could compete in various friendly sports challenges—like relay races, rope skipping, and basketball matches. Classes would earn points through participation, not just victories. This activity encourages everyone to get moving, regardless of their skill level. It promotes teamwork, school spirit, and most importantly, the joy of physical activity. I believe this format would engage more students than traditional sports meetings, while effectively spreading the message that health comes through active participation. I hope my suggestion is helpful. Thank you for considering it. Yours sincerely, Li Hua 读后续写参考范文 As I studied the sketch, I realized my grandfather had left me more than just tools. He had left me his knowledge. Every measurement, every angle, every note was carefully written in his steady hand. Following the instructions step by step, I began to feel his presence beside me. For the first time, I understood the patience he had tried to teach me years ago. When I made mistakes, I didn't give up—I remembered his voice saying, "Measure twice, cut once." Over the following weeks, the garage became my classroom. My grandfather was my invisible teacher, and with every cut and every joint, I felt closer to him than I ever had when he was alive. On the day of the community service project, I carried my finished rocking chair into the school gym. My friends' jaws dropped. "You made this?" they asked in disbelief. It wasn't perfect—the joints were slightly uneven, and one arm was a millimeter off—but it was sturdy, safe, and beautiful. More importantly, it carried my grandfather's spirit. When the children at the shelter received the chairs, one little girl ran to the rocking chair and sat down, smiling. In that moment, I understood what my grandfather had known all along: true skill isn't about perfection—it's about building something that matters, with your heart and hands. I wasn't just honoring his memory; I was continuing his legacy, one project at a time. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 合肥安生学校2025-2026学年高三上学期期中考试英语 （考试时间：120分钟 满分：150分） 注意事项： 1. 答题前，务必在答题卡和答题卷规定的地方填写自己的姓名、准考证号和座位号后两位。 2. 答题时，每小题选出答案后，用2 B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。 3. 答题时，必须使用0.5毫米的黑色墨水签字笔在答题卷上书写，要求字体工整、笔迹清晰。作图题可先用铅笔在答题卷规定的位置绘出，确认后再用0.5毫米的黑色墨水签字笔描清楚。必须在题号所指示的答题区域作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上答题无效。 4. 考试结束，务必将答题卡和答题卷一并上交。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、 B、 C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

However, unlike the British Library or the National Gallery, the museum's exhibition space cannot be expanded significantly. Consequently, timed-entry ticketing is strongly recommended, as it allows you to secure admission on a specific date and time, thus avoiding lengthy queues at the entrance. How much does it cost to visit the British Museum? Visitor Category Standard Admission Special Exhibition (additional) Adult (25+) Free £18.00 Young Person (16-24) Free £10.50 Child (5-15) Free £6.50 Senior (65+) Free £15.00 Disabled Visitor Free £10.50 The museum offers free general admission to all visitors, with charges only for special temporary exhibitions. Discounted rates apply to young people (16-24 years old), children (5-15 years old), seniors (65+), and visitors with disabilities. Admission is free for children under 5 years old, even for special exhibitions. What if your desired date is unavailable? Tickets for special exhibitions are released online up to three months in advance. During weekends and peak holiday periods (especially December and April), demand is extremely high and tickets sell out quickly. If your preferred date is unavailable, consider selecting an alternative date that shows availability. How many tickets can you purchase? On the online ticket shop, you can reserve up to 8 tickets per transaction for special exhibitions. Schools and tour operators requiring larger group bookings must use the museum's dedicated group booking service. If online tickets for a particular exhibition are sold out, a limited number of tickets are held back for on-site purchase on the day. 21. Why does the British Museum recommend booking tickets online? A. The museum's exhibition space is being expanded. B. Online booking guarantees lower prices than on-site purchase. C. Visitors can choose a specific time and avoid waiting at the entrance. D. Special exhibition tickets are only available online. 22. How much would a 68-year-old couple pay to visit a special exhibition? A. £30.00. B. £36.00. C. £21.00. D. £15.00. 23. If tickets for a special exhibition are sold out online, what should visitors do? A. Use the group booking service instead. B. Try to purchase tickets at the museum on the day. C. Wait until the next exhibition opens. D. Book tickets three months in advance. B I've just finished clearing the dinner dishes and helping my daughter with her math homework when I finally settle onto the couch with my tablet. I pour myself a cup of tea and adjust the reading lamp. Tonight, the book club meeting is virtual, and I'm grateful I don't have to brave the winter rain. The video call connects, and familiar faces appear on my screen. Three years ago, I barely knew these people. Now I wave and smile, feeling the transition happen. The project manager and busy mother of two gives way to the literature lover I used to be—a version of myself I rarely have time to explore anymore. Tonight we're discussing The Mountains Sing, a historical novel by Nguyễn Phan Quế Mai. The story spans decades of Vietnamese history, following one family's struggles and triumphs. I had found myself moved to tears at several points, yet I also felt the novel occasionally got bogged down in historical details. During our discussion, I discover several other members felt similarly. But as the conversation deepens, something remarkable occurs. As each person shares their perspective, my own understanding transforms. A passage that had seemed unnecessarily long now appears to be a deliberate choice—the author weaving family memory with national history. Another member's observation about the grandmother's character unlocks a new interpretation of the entire book. Too quickly, it's time to say goodbye. I close my tablet and go check on my daughter. Yet part of me remains in that virtual room, enriched by the collective wisdom, already anticipating next month's selection. 24. What is the author's profession? A. A school teacher. B. A project manager. C. A writer. D. A historian. 25. Why did the author find the novel challenging at first? A. The writing style was too complex. B. The story failed to engage her emotionally. C. It contained excessive historical detail. D. The characters were difficult to distinguish. 26. What does the underlined word "unlocks" in paragraph 4 most nearly mean? A. confirms. B. reveals. C. challenges. D. dismisses. 27. What lesson can be drawn from the author's experience? A. Two heads are better than one. B. A book is a dream that you hold in your hand. C. The pen is mightier than the sword. D. Pride comes before a fall. C Recent studies in nutritional science emphasize that when we eat may be just as important as what we eat, particularly regarding our first meal of the day. The longstanding debate about breakfast timing has gained new scientific backing from research conducted at the University of California, San Francisco, published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism in January 2024. The U CSF study defined "early breakfast" as eating within two hours of waking, and "late breakfast" as eating more than four hours after waking. Researchers tracked metabolic markers in two groups of participants over a 12-week period. The findings revealed significant differences in how the body processed nutrients based on breakfast timing. Early breakfast eaters demonstrated improved insulin sensitivity, better blood sugar regulation throughout the day, and reduced inflammation markers. They also reported feeling more energetic and experiencing fewer food cravings. Late breakfast eaters, conversely, showed higher levels of cortisol in the morning, more difficulty regulating appetite, and a tendency to consume more calories later in the day, particularly in the evening. Dr. Sarah Mitchell, a nutritionist based in Chicago, emphasizes that while the findings are compelling, breakfast timing must be adapted to individual circumstances. Shift workers, people with medical conditions, and those with irregular schedules need to find patterns that work for their specific situations rather than following rigid guidelines. Dr. Mitchell offers practical advice for those whose routines don't accommodate an early breakfast. She recommends having a light snack soon after waking, followed by a proper breakfast later, rather than skipping breakfast entirely. This approach helps stabilize blood sugar and prevents overeating later. Additionally, paying attention to the composition of breakfast—prioritizing protein and fiber over simple carbohydrates—can significantly improve the metabolic response. The message is clear: the breakfast debate extends beyond nutrients to include timing. Healthy eating isn't merely about counting calories but also about synchronizing our food intake with our body's natural rhythms. 28. What did the U CSF study primarily investigate? A. The nutritional value of different breakfast foods. B. The effect of breakfast timing on metabolism. C. The health risks of skipping breakfast. D. The relationship between breakfast and weight loss. 29. What benefit might early breakfast eaters experience? A. Increased cortisol levels. B. More frequent food cravings. C. Lower inflammation markers. D. Higher calorie consumption at night. 30. What advice does Dr. Mitchell give to late breakfast eaters? A. Skip breakfast to reduce calorie intake. B. Eat a small snack soon after waking. C. Consume only protein for breakfast. D. Have breakfast exactly two hours after waking. 31. What is the best title for this passage? A. Breakfast: The Most Important Meal of the Day. B. How Breakfast Timing Affects Your Health. C. The Role of Nutrition in Modern Life. D. Why You Should Never Skip Breakfast. D The rise of digital reading has sparked considerable debate among educators and parents about its impact on children's literacy development. While traditional reading advocates worry that screens are replacing print, research in educational psychology suggests that digital reading offers unique benefits that, when properly integrated, can enhance rather than diminish reading skills. One of the most significant advantages of digital reading is its capacity to engage struggling readers. Interactive features—such as text-to-speech, built-in dictionaries, and clickable annotations—provide scaffolding that helps children overcome comprehension barriers. A 2023 study from the University of Cambridge followed 500 primary school students over two years and found that those using digital reading platforms with interactive support showed greater reading comprehension gains than peers using print-only materials, particularly among students with reading difficulties. Digital reading also promotes information literacy, a crucial skill in the modern world. Children who read on digital devices learn to navigate hyperlinks, evaluate sources, and synthesize information from multiple formats. These skills translate directly to the research abilities they'll need in higher education and the workplace. Educators interviewed for the study noted that students who read both digitally and in print demonstrated superior critical thinking when evaluating online sources. However, the benefits depend heavily on intentional usage. Research indicates that simply providing children with tablets does not automatically improve reading. The key is guided digital reading—where parents or teachers actively participate, asking questions, connecting content to real-life experiences, and helping children transfer comprehension strategies between media. Some concerns about digital reading persist. Parents worry that the distractions of other applications will compete for attention. Others fear that screen time displaces valuable print reading experiences. The evidence shows that balanced integration, not elimination, is the solution. Children benefit most when they have access to both high-quality print and digital materials, with guidance in how to use each medium effectively. Far from being an enemy of literacy, digital reading, thoughtfully implemented, can be a powerful ally in developing competent, versatile readers for the 21st century. 32. What is digital reading often regarded as by some traditional reading advocates? A. A threat to literacy development. B. A helpful tool for struggling readers. C. A replacement for traditional education. D. A method to enhance information literacy. 33. How does the Cambridge study support the benefits of digital reading? A. It observed students using print-only materials. B. It compared digital readers with print-only readers. C. It focused on students with no reading difficulties. D. It tracked students over a five-year period. 34. According to the passage, what is essential for digital reading to be beneficial? A. Children should only read on tablets. B. Parents or teachers should guide the reading. C. Students must avoid print materials. D. Schools should ban distractions. 35. What is the author's attitude towards digital reading? A. Suspicious. B. Supportive with conditions. C. Strongly opposed. D. Indifferent. 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。 Many people believe that happiness is something we either have or don't have—a fixed state that depends on circumstances beyond our control. However, positive psychology research increasingly suggests that happiness is less about what happens to us and more about what we actively do. ___36___ One of the most well-documented strategies is practicing gratitude. Studies have shown that people who regularly write down things they're grateful for report higher levels of life satisfaction. ___37___ This simple act shifts attention from what's lacking to what's present, creating a more positive outlook. Another powerful approach is cultivating meaningful connections. While career achievements and material possessions can provide temporary satisfaction, research consistently finds that the quality of our relationships is the strongest predictor of long-term happiness. ___38___ It's the depth of connection and genuine exchange that makes the difference. Engaging in activities that produce "flow"—a state of complete absorption in what you're doing—also contributes significantly to well-being. ___39___ These experiences, whether in work, hobbies, or sports, provide a sense of purpose and mastery that surface-level entertainment cannot match. ___40___ Rather than seeing happiness as a distant goal to be achieved after completing certain milestones, research suggests it is better understood as a practice to be cultivated through intentional daily choices. Small, consistent actions—reaching out to a friend, taking a walk in nature, or pausing to appreciate a beautiful moment—accumulate to create lasting well-being. Happiness, it turns out, is not a destination but a journey, not a gift but a skill. And like any skill, it improves with practice. A. This isn't about the number of social connections. B. Therefore, pursuing happiness should be your top priority. C. These are activities that challenge us just enough to keep us fully engaged. D. The key, researchers argue, lies in developing certain habits and mindsets. E. Perhaps the most fundamental insight is that happiness is a practice, not an outcome. F. Furthermore, achieving success guarantees happiness. G. Even a simple daily journal can produce measurable improvements in mood. 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I used to think that perseverance was simply about refusing to quit. I imagined it as a kind of stubbornness—clinging to goals no matter what obstacles appeared. A life-changing experience, however, completely ___41___ my perspective. I had just started a new job at a marketing firm. Feeling both eager and anxious, I was assigned to a project that seemed nearly impossible. Our team had been given three months to create an entirely new branding strategy for a ___42___ client who had already rejected two other agencies. The pressure was ___43___. For weeks, we worked tirelessly, developing concepts, conducting research, and designing presentations. Each time we presented our ideas to the client, we faced ___44___. "Not creative enough," they'd say. " Doesn't capture our values." I began to feel increasingly frustrated. My colleagues, too, were losing ___45___. One afternoon, I watched our team leader, Margaret, as she received yet another rejection email. Instead of ___46___, she calmly gathered us together. "We need to listen differently," she said. "What are they really telling us?" She encouraged us to set aside our pride and really hear the client's ___47___. We began again, but this time we asked more questions, listened more carefully, and designed our proposals around what we learned. We didn't abandon our creative vision—we ___48___ it to what the client needed. When we presented for the seventh time, the client ___49___. "This is exactly what we wanted," they said. That experience taught me a valuable lesson. True perseverance isn't about ___50___ against a wall, refusing to change direction. It's about staying ___51___ while being willing to adjust. It's not giving up on the goal—but being ___52___ enough to give up on approaches that aren't working. Perseverance is often mistaken for rigidity. But real strength is found in the ___53___ to adapt while maintaining commitment. Like water that eventually ___54___ through rock—not by force, but by persistence of flow. The path may shift, the methods may change, but the ___55___ remains. 41. A. confirmed B. transformed C. reflected D. challenged 42. A. demanding B. generous C. cooperative D. appreciative 43.

A man of few words, he expressed his love through actions—fixing my bicycle chain, teaching me to fish, and showing up at every school event, silently proud in the back row. When he passed away last year, I inherited his old tool bench and the worn wooden box filled with tools. I never knew much about carpentry. My grandfather had tried to teach me once, when I was twelve, but I'd been more interested in video games. "Pay attention, Jake," he'd said gently, demonstrating how to measure carefully. But I'd shrugged him off. Now, watching his tools gather dust in my garage, I felt a sharp pang of regret. Then came the school's community service project. Each student had to build something useful that would be donated to a local charity. My friends laughed at my lack of skills. "You? Build something?" they teased. " Better stick to video games." Normally, I'd have laughed it off. But something in me shifted. I was determined to prove them wrong. I started researching simple projects—birdhouses, bookshelves, toy boxes. Everything seemed too complicated for someone who could barely hammer a nail. Just as I was about to give up, I remembered my grandfather's most cherished piece of furniture: a simple but beautifully crafted rocking chair he had made for my grandmother when they were first married. The design was elegant in its simplicity. "I'll make a small rocking chair for a children's shelter," I decided. Opening my grandfather's tool box, I discovered a folded piece of paper at the very bottom. It was a faded, hand-drawn sketch with measurements and notes. I recognized my grandfather's handwriting. It was the original design for my grandmother's chair. 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。 As I studied the sketch, I realized my grandfather had left me more than just tools.
