Working hand in hand with other teenage volunteers, we not only dedicated ourselves to tidying up community gardens and patiently clearing rubbish along the roads, but also offered thoughtful help to lonely elderly neighbors by carrying their heavy daily necessities for them. Tiring as the work was, it brought me endless inner warmth. Through this activity, I realized small kind acts can brighten strangers’ days greatly. Besides, I have developed a stronger sense of social responsibility and learned to devote myself to people around me. 第二节 I grabbed Lily’s arm and pointed at the tiny green bud, unable to say a word. Lily leaned in and let out a joyful cry. “See? I told you! It just needed some time and care!” Tears of joy streamed down my face as I gently touched the little green shoot. Grandma, hearing our excitement, came over with a warm smile. “Patience and love always work wonders, my dear,” she said softly. That morning, we watered Sunny together and moved it to a bright spot to get more sunlight. For the first time in days, hope bloomed again in my heart. In the following days, the tiny bud grew bigger day by day. I continued talking to it every morning and made sure it got enough sunlight. Soon, it became a young plant, with fresh green leaves appearing along its stem. One afternoon, I came home from school and found the new sunflower standing tall, its golden petals facing the sun. It had grown as tall as I was, just as Grandma had promised. I realized that life, even after great damage, can revive with constant care and patience. And that was the most beautiful lesson life had ever taught me. （注：“一个故事，多种结尾”，此文仅供参考。） 听力材料： Text 1 W: Jim, it’s so nice of you to invite me to the tea house. M: My pleasure. It’s nice to come here with friends, and the tea itself is wonderful, but the gardens and the view of the valley are what most people come here for. Text 2 W: Well, it takes off finally. Look at the coastline. Isn’t it beautiful? M: Oh, yes, it sure is. Do you remember our first flight? We didn’t even know what “safety belt” or “smoking materials” meant. Text 3 W: Have you watched the TV show — Home Run Derby? It’s so interesting. I love baseball. M: Well, it’s not exactly my cup of tea. It turns me off. I’m pretty into Black Mirror. It’s more exciting. Text 4 M: You look sleepy, Jessica. Did you stay up late? W: Well, I went to the hospital with my father last night. He’s been going to see the doctor about some pain lately, but they can never find anything wrong with him. Text 5 M: Lisa, there are new arrivals in the shopping center. How about going shopping this afternoon? W: I really need some new clothes, but I have to finish my school project at home. It’s due tomorrow and I haven’t finished it yet. Text 6 M: Excuse me, I’m waiting for Flight 712 from New York. My friend is on it. It was supposed to arrive at 9:20 am. It’s already 9:30 now, but there hasn’t been any announcement about a delay. W: I’m sorry, sir. We’ve just received a message. The plane took off one and a half hours late. Its new arrival time is 10:50. M: That’s terrible. I’ve been here since 8:30 and I guess I’ll have to wait until noon. I’ve wasted a whole morning. W: I do apologize for the inconvenience, sir. Text 7 W: Mark, did you end up ordering tons of stuff during the recent Double 11? M: Yes. Delivery guys have been calling me all morning. I should have arranged to be home to sign for all of that. W: Doesn’t your apartment have an area near the gate for that? M: No, we don’t. I just have packages left at my doorstep. What about yours? W: Except for the really big stuff, everything can go into lockers. M: I had lockers like this at my previous address. In the past, people needed a key to open a locker or asked the workers in charge for help, but it’s more convenient now. They just have to scan the QR code and a little metal door will open, with their package inside. W: That’s exactly the one we are using. You should talk your building managers into setting up such delivery lockers. Text 8 W: Dad, can I have a car of my own? M: Honey, we’ve discussed this. Having a car means real responsibility. Gas and maintenance are both costly. W: I know that, Dad! But how can I become independent if you keep driving me everywhere? M: I just feel safer when you’re with me. W: It’s really embarrassing when you drop me off. All my friends already have their own cars. M: But your friends all have part-time jobs and keep their grades high. W: Well, that’s true… M: Show me your straight A’s and the pay from real work; then we’ll talk about a car. W: That’s so unfair! M: But you’ll appreciate your future car much more if you earn it. Why don’t we look through some car magazines so you can see what you’re working toward? Text 9 W: Good afternoon, sir. Welcome to our bookstore. What can I do for you? M: Good afternoon. I’m looking for some books for my little brother as his 13th birthday gift. W: That’s very nice of you. How about this popular science novel? It’s $16, and it’s very popular among junior middle school students. M: Sounds good. I’ll take it. And I also need a cartoon book and a notebook. W: The cartoon book is $12 and the notebook is $5. So the total is $33. M: Do you offer a student discount? I’m a senior high school student and I have my student ID card with me. W: Yes. Students can get a 10% discount on the total price. M: Great. How much should I pay then? W: Let me calculate. You just need to pay $29.70. M: Perfect. Here’s 30 dollars. W: Thank you. Here is your change. And the gift bag is free for you. M: Thanks a lot. You’re so kind. W: It’s my pleasure. Text 10 M: Good afternoon, everyone. I’m Harry Perkins from Human Resources. Welcome to our team-building weekend.

B A few months after my son was born, I read Rachel Carson’s essay The Sense of Wonder. Written in 1956, it guides parents to connect children with nature. Carson, though childless, shared warm memories with her nephew — night walks by the sea, rainy forest trips — and told parents they needn’t know every bird or plant to develop a love for nature. Beneath her gentle words lay a quiet warning: we risk losing our wonder for the world as we grow up. At that time, my family split time between Manhattan and rural Pennsylvania. Living in the city for ten years, my world was filled with cold corners and hard surfaces. But in the countryside, my senses woke up. I noticed golden poplars, colorful newts, and fresh green grass — all bringing vivid color back to my life. When my son was five months old, I had a terrible car accident on an icy road. The car rolled over, and I escaped unhurt, but the fear stayed with me. I couldn’t drive for months. Every time we passed the accident site, I felt uneasy. Carson’s words comforted me: “Nature keeps repeating itself — night always turns to day, and winter always turns to spring. This steady cycle is deeply comforting and has a powerful way of healing (治愈) us.” As spring came, birdsong returned, and I slowly found courage again. One October evening, as we were in our garden, the first snowflakes (雪花) fell softly. My son, barely a year old, sat quietly and watched. I held out my hand, and a snowflake landed on my hand and melted (融化). He looked at me, eyes wide with wonder. At that moment, I understood Carson’s true meaning: nature is not just beauty, but a lasting bond between us. It gives us strength and connects us, even when we feel lost. 24. What is the main purpose of Carson’s essay The Sense of Wonder? A. To tell stories of her nephew. B. To warn people of environmental problems. C. To teach parents to connect kids with nature. D. To introduce different plants and animals. 25. What can be learned about the author’s life in the city? A. Her senses were less active there. B. Her life was colorful and exciting there. C. She felt close to nature there. D. She enjoyed living there very much. 26. Why did the author feel uneasy when passing the accident site? A. She was worried about her son’s safety. B. The accident left her with fear. C. She was hurt badly in the accident. D. She had lost confidence in driving. 27. What does the author want to convey through the text? A. Life is full of unexpected challenges. B. Children help adults rediscover nature. C. Classic essays guide people out of trouble. D. Nature cures pain and brings spiritual power. C From steady drum music to peaceful watercolor drawing, creative arts have long helped people recover and live positively. Modern studies now prove what ancient people believed: taking part in art activities is not only a way to relax, but also an effective method to improve our body and mind. For mental health, research shows regular art work, such as writing poems, playing musical instruments or making clay art, can reduce anxiety and sadness, and improve people’s ability to deal with bad feelings. Unlike watching videos passively, creative work requires people to focus on the present moment. It stops people from negative thinking and brings them happiness and hope. A 2023 University of London study shows adults joining weekly art lessons have 30 percent less pressure than others, and the good influence can last several months. Art helps people control feelings better and face daily troubles bravely. Besides, art activities fully develop our brain. Playing music needs hearing, hand movement and memory to work together, which strengthens connections between different brain parts. This can slow down brain weakness caused by aging. Elderly people loving music or painting perform better in memory and thinking tests, with lower risk of memory loss. Scientists define it as “cognitive reserve”, a natural ability to protect the brain, just as sports build strong muscles. Art also benefits our physical health. Group singing can reduce blood pressure and improve our immune (免疫的) system. Dancing, mixing exercise and creation, is better for heart health than ordinary sports. Easy handwork like knitting (编织) can ease long-term pain, for its repeated movements can let out natural pain-reducing matter inside our body. Nowadays, people value efficiency and speed, so art is regarded as an unnecessary luxury. However, scientific results show creative activity is a basic human need, as important as sleep and food. Ignoring art means giving up an easy way to keep healthy. 28. What benefit can regular artistic practice bring to people’s mental health? A. It sharpens thinking and cognition. B. It helps people remove bad memories. C. It enables people to escape from past failures. D. It improves ability to manage negative emotions. 29. Which activity works better for heart health according to paragraph 4? A. Hand knitting. B. Routine running. C. Creative dancing. D. Group singing. 30. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Sleep and food matter less than art. B. People wrongly treat art as a useless extra. C. Art is thought a must for work efficiency. D. The public have realized the value of creative arts. 31. What is the main idea of the text? A. Creative arts benefit health in many ways. B. Art activities slow down brain aging. C. The elderly benefit greatly from art. D.

Cooperating with Katalyst Space Technologies, NASA is attempting to save the aging space telescope in a highly demanding project. Launched in 2004 at a cost of around $500 million, the Swift satellite has served as a multi-functional orbital telescope. It originally aimed to detect gamma-ray bursts caused by powerful cosmic (宇宙的) explosions, yet it has undertaken far more astronomical tasks than expected. After 21 years in orbit, Swift is gradually dropping toward Earth. It will burn up in the atmosphere if it falls below 300 kilometers, making a timely rescue extremely urgent. To prevent its destruction, NASA employed Katalyst to develop a rescue spacecraft named Link within less than one year, much faster than the years-long period of ordinary space missions. The refrigerator-sized Link, equipped with three robotic arms and three thrusters (推进器), is designed to approach, grab Swift and lift it to a higher orbit. Link adopted a special air-launch mode last Friday. Carried by a huge plane to a height of 40,000 feet, a Pegasus XL rocket was dropped and took flight in mid-air, successfully sending Link into orbit 13 minutes later. In the following weeks, Katalyst will conduct tests before attempting to dock with Swift. The biggest challenge lies in the fact that Swift was not designed for in-space capture, and scientists are uncertain about the condition of its protective insulation (隔热层). If the connection and orbit-lifting operation succeeds, Link will raise Swift from 360 kilometers to 600 kilometers above Earth, allowing the aging telescope to work for another decade. However, the mission faces strict time limits, as Swift will be unfixable by October. Researchers describe the mission as challenging and risky, but worthwhile for NASA. Beyond saving a single satellite, the project aims to reform the space industry’s “throwaway” tradition. Katalyst hopes to develop businesses of repairing and updating orbiting satellites, which will make future space exploration cheaper, safer and more sustainable. 32. What makes the rescue mission for Swift so urgent? A. Failure in detecting gamma-ray bursts. B. Its drop towards the lower atmosphere. C. Uncertain condition of its insulation. D. The mission’s approaching time limit. 33. What information can we get regarding the spacecraft Link? A. It is developed in an unusually short time. B. It is equipped with four powerful thrusters. C. It can work independently without any tests. D. It is designed to observe cosmic explosions. 34. What does the underlined word “dock” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Compete. B. Land. C. Connect. D. Deal. 35. What is the researchers’ attitude towards the rescue mission? A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Uncertain. D. Worried. 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。 The Hidden Power of High School Grades We often hear students say, “Grades don’t matter that much in the long run.” 36 A recent study suggests high school grades play a far more important role in our adult lives than we used to think. The study, carried out by researchers at the University of California, followed thousands of students for over 20 years. 37 For every half-point improvement in high school GPA (Grade Point Average), the average person’s earnings rose by 8% in their late 30s. The effect is even greater for students from poor families. Many people once believed only college degrees influenced future income. 38 It shows that good high school grades themselves create valuable life skills, such as self-discipline and time management. These skills prepare people for success whether they go to college or not. 39 They greatly narrow the income difference between poor and wealthy students. The earnings gap between a low-income student with outstanding grades and a middle-class student with ordinary grades can almost be closed. In this way, hard work in high school creates a more equal chance for success. Grades also bring other forms of success. They are more likely to get leadership positions at work and continue their education later in life. All these prove that high school grades are more than just numbers on a report card. 40 A. But this study tells a different story. B. This opinion might be far from the truth. C. They mainly help students get into good colleges. D. High grades also help reduce unfairness in society. E. It discovered a clear link between grades and future earnings. F. Thus, valuing high school grades truly pays off in the long run. G. Students with good grades usually enjoy better health in their later life. 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。 Katie had just finished her EMT training and was job-hunting when she passed away in a car accident, just a month before her 30th birthday.

She told me, “This little flower will grow as tall as you if you take good care of it.” I named it Sunny and promised to water it every morning. One rainy weekend, I stayed at my friend’s house and forgot to move Sunny indoors. When I rushed back home the next day, the heavy rain had knocked down its thin stem (茎). I knelt down, tears filling my eyes. “Grandma, it’s dying!” I cried. Grandma knelt beside me. “Don’t give up yet, little one. Let’s try to save it.” She helped me hold up the broken stem with a stick and tied it carefully with cloth. “Now we just need to wait and see,” she said. But for days, Sunny showed no sign of waking up. The leaves grew more withered (枯萎的), and I started to lose hope. One afternoon, my classmate Lily noticed I seemed upset during break and asked what was wrong. After I told her about Sunny, she smiled and said, “My mom grows flowers too. Let me show you a trick to wake up sleepy plants.” She came to my house after school, knelt by the pot, and whispered something to the sunflower. Then she took a small spoon and gently loosened the soil around the roots, adding a handful of dry leaves as fertilizer (肥料). “Plants need to breathe too,” she explained. “And talking to them helps, even if it sounds silly.” I followed Lily’s advice, talking to Sunny every morning and watering it properly. Days passed, yet the old stem showed no signs of life. I almost gave up on it. However, one Sunday morning, Lily and I were studying at my home when I suddenly spotted a tiny green bud (嫩芽) pushing through the soil beside the old stem. 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。 I grabbed Lily’s arm and pointed at the tiny green bud, unable to say a word. In the following days, the tiny bud grew bigger day by day. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
