第一节
I’m writing to discuss our Novel Reading Challenge with you.
Now most students find it hard to stick to the activity. The main reasons are that the selected novels are far beyond our current level, and we have no fixed time to share reading thoughts, which makes the process rather boring. To make the activity more engaging, we are thinking of dividing members into different groups based on their reading level, and holding a 10-minute sharing session every week. Would you please give us some practical advice on our improvement plans?
We really hope the activity can work better with your help.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节 (满分25分)
I decided to tell Mum about the competition. I admitted I was stuck on the theme “magic.” Mum set down her bags and smiled. “Magic isn’t just about wands and spells. It’s hidden in everyday love — the way your face lights up when I bake, or how Sophie once stayed up all night when you were sick, though she’d never admit it.” Her words washed over me like a warm tide. Suddenly I saw magic everywhere. I rushed to my desk, and my pen raced across the page, turning those small moments into a story called “The invisible Magic.” After polishing every word carefully, I submitted my story that night.
A few days later, I received an e-mail saying I had won the competition. I let out a shout that brought the whole family running. Mum pulled me into a tight hug, and Dad gave a proud nod. Sophie stood there, and then, to my surprise, she mumbled, “I guess you’re not so bad at something after all.” I laughed. Staring at the notification on my screen, I realized the real magic wasn’t the prize — it was discovering that the love around me had always been my greatest inspiration.

I love picture books. Some of my favorite childhood memories involve me climbing into my mother’s lap, a big colorful book spread out before us, enjoying the sound of her voice reading a story aloud. I had no idea at the time how lucky I was to have parents who valued the importance of reading books to their kids.
It wasn’t until I started reading books to my own kids that I began to appreciate just how influential picture books can be. Some picture books give our kids reasons to laugh out loud. Others empower their imaginations with fantastical stories and bright, detailed artwork. Still others give them permission to dream and create and make believe.
A few nights ago, my oldest child, Elias — he’s eight — decided that he was going to read a picture book to his siblings (弟弟妹妹), 5-year-old Adeline and 2-year-old Ezra. Sitting on the sofa, sandwiched between two curious kindergartners, he opened the book with a happy tone, started reading. He didn’t get two pages into the story before Ezra started pointing at various spots on the pages and saying, “dog” or “cat” or “baby.”
At first, Elias acknowledged Ezra’s ability to identify objects with head nods and words of praise, but there were just too many dogs in the story for him to keep doing it. And then, on three occasions, Adeline heard a word or phrase and broke in, “What does that mean?” Elias explained to the best of his ability, which seemed to satisfy Adeline. Though Elias did finish the story, by the end, he was speed reading. Adeline was annoyed because her fourth question was ignored, and Ezra was doing his best to tear the corners off the pages of the book, still saying “dog, dog, dog.”
But even though the moment ended in a fit of chaos, it was still a beautiful experience to watch all three of my kids engaging with the same book. All of them were enjoying the pleasure of reading at that moment, a moment that only happened because Elias chose to read a picture book.
24.Which of the following can best describe the author’s mother?
A.Serious-minded. B.Child-centered.
C.Reading-focused. D.Bookish-looking.
25.What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about concerning picture books?
A.Their artistic potential. B.Their positive impacts.
C.Their imaginative content. D.Their educational purposes.
26.How did Elias respond to Ezra’s interruptions at first?
A.He got annoyed. B.He ignored them.
C.He sped up reading. D.He showed approval.
27.What did the author find most meaningful about the picture book?
A.The kids’ group interaction with the book.
B.The story’s entertaining scenes.
C.Elias’s role as a patient storyteller.
D.Her children’s playful chaos.

In the Great Library of Alexandria, scholars once guarded scrolls (卷轴) containing the wisdom of the ancient world. Today, the Library of Congress houses more than 40 million books; the British Library, over 170 million items. Yet for most of human history, books were rare treasures — hand-copied, expensive, and easily lost to fire, flood, or carelessness. The story of libraries is not merely one of buildings and books, but of how civilizations have preserved, organized, and sometimes destroyed their collective memory.
The idea of a library as we know is surprisingly modern. For centuries, collections of books belonged to kings, churches, or wealthy individuals. The idea that ordinary people should have free access to knowledge — public libraries — did not gain widespread acceptance until the 19th century. In The Library: A Fragile History, Andrew Pettegree and Arthur der Weduwen track this remarkable transformation from the scrolls of the ancient past to the digital libraries of today.
Appropriately, the book opens not with grand architecture, but with the humble book tradesman. The authors spent years researching records across Europe, finding out how books were made, sold, stolen, and saved. They began with houses of God in the Middle Ages, where religious male members copied handwritten old books by candlelight, and moved through the Gutenberg revolution, when printed books suddenly became available to anyone who could afford them. Why did some collections survive while others vanished? This question drove their story forward.
In this book, the authors examine three crucial stages in library history: the age of private collections, the rise of public libraries, and the current digital transformation. These stages mirror shifting ideas about who deserves access to knowledge. Since the authors began their research, the potential dangers have only grown higher: between 2000 and 2020, more than half of all public libraries in some countries closed their doors, even as digital books became more widely available than ever before.
28.What does the author point out at the beginning of the text?
A.Libraries are declining worldwide.
B.Books used to be rare and valuable.
C.The Library of Congress is the largest.
D.Ancient libraries were better than modern ones.
29.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A.How public libraries developed.
B.Why the book is worth reading.
C.When the first library was built.
D.Who wrote The Library: A Fragile History.
30.What does the underlined word “vanished” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Spread. B.Increased. C.Disappeared. D.Changed.
31.What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?
A.To explain how libraries are organized.
B.To compare ancient and modern libraries.
C.To encourage people to read more books.
D.To introduce a book about library history.
D
In an era filled with short videos, 15-second social media posts, and endless phone notifications, deep reading — the slow, focused practice of engaging with long texts — is often seen as an outdated habit. However, growing research in brain science and education warns that the decline of deep reading is quietly harming young people’s intellectual and emotional growth.
According to a 2025 study by the American Psychological Association, teenagers’ average attention span has dropped from 12 seconds in 2010 to just 8 seconds in 2025 — even shorter than a goldfish’s. Researchers link this directly to the rise of “skimming culture,” where people scan digital content for key words instead of reading carefully. While skimming is useful for processing large amounts of information fast, it cannot replace the cognitive benefits of deep reading.
Unlike skimming, deep reading requires continuous focus and critical thinking. When reading long, complex texts, our brains connect ideas, follow logical arguments, and imagine described scenes. This strengthens the prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮层) — the brain area controlling decision-making, problem-solving, and emotional regulation. A 2024 Stanford University study found that students who did regular deep reading scored 23% higher on critical thinking tests than those who only read short digital content.
Beyond cognitive gains, deep reading fosters empathy. Reading literary stories lets us step into characters’ lives, share their feelings, and see the world through their eyes. This helps young people understand others — a vital skill in an increasingly divided world.
Critics argue deep reading is inefficient in the digital age, where information is abundant and time limited. But this misses the point: deep reading is not just about learning facts. It builds the ability to understand, analyze, and care about the world. As leading brain scientist Maryanne Wolf said: “We read not only to know others’ experiences, but to become people who think deeply, feel deeply, and act wisely.”
32.What is the purpose of mentioning goldfish in the text?
A.To show goldfish have short attention spans.
B.To compare human and fish brain structures.
C.To criticize teenagers’ screen addiction.
D.To highlight teens’ even shorter attention span.
33.What is directly supported by the 2024 Stanford study?
A.Deep reading strengthens the prefrontal cortex.
B.Skimming helps process information quickly.
C.Deep reading improves critical thinking test scores.
D.Attention spans have dropped since 2010.
34.What is the author’s attitude toward the critics’ view?
A.He thinks it ignores something.
B.He finds it completely wrong.
C.He agrees with their concern.
D.He is unsure about the truth.
35.What is the main idea of the text?
A.Skimming works better than deep reading now.
B.Less deep reading hurts young people’s growth.
C.Short videos and social media lengthen people’s attention.
D.Young people think deep reading is old-fashioned.
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。
A reading log (日志) is pretty much exactly what it sounds like — a place for you to log your reading. In a reading log, you record the books you’ve read and your thoughts, reactions, and responses to them. 36 Here are a few of them that you should consider.
37 Writing down titles of books and notes of your thoughts while reading can help you keep more about what you’ve read in mind. Reading logs can act as a second brain and remember details you might forget later on.
There is no doubt that reading logs can improve your reading comprehension (理解力). 38 As a result, you can improve your comprehension of the text as well as your processing of it and its meaning.
When you are keeping a reading log, you keep track of your progress toward your reading goals. Looking through what you have put down, you’ll have clear evidence of the achievement you’re making toward the goals you set. The log also makes sure you record all of your reading “wins” so as to celebrate your progress. 39
During the course of sticking to your reading log, your writing skills will certainly be improved. If you’re regularly reading books and writing reports about what you read, you’ll be doing lots of little writing projects and getting a chance to practice and develop your writing skills. 40 You’ll notice a difference in your writing and maybe even in your critical thinking!
A.Reading logs vary from person to person.
B.Your advance is easy to see after a while.
C.Keeping a reading log offers many benefits.
D.Reading logs can help you remember more.
E.But what are the basic steps of keeping a reading log?
F.And then you will feel encouraged to continue reading,
G.When keeping logs, you slow up to deal with what you’re reading.

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。
“What are you writing?” My sister Sophie’s voice made me snap my notebook shut. She can never keep her nose out of my stuff. She’s fifteen, just two years older, but the way she gives orders, you’d think she runs the house.
“It’s nothing,” I said. I didn’t want to mention the competition. I didn’t want to look silly if I lost.
Everyone in my family is good at something. Sophie has swimming medals. Mum’s baking always wins prizes, and Dad is the best chess player in his club. I once took ballet, but I was always facing the wrong way and tripping over others. Sports are not for me.
I love English class and writing stories. My favourite teacher, Miss Lucy, told me about the competition. I felt so happy when she praised my stories. The only problem was, I couldn’t think of a single idea.
“Is that your secret diary?” Sophie tried to grab my notebook, but I knocked her hand away. “It’s my writer’s notebook,” I said proudly. I told her Miss Lucy said I should write for fun, and writers always carry a notebook. Sophie yawned and opened the fridge.
Just then, Mum came in with shopping bags. “Who has a secret diary?” she asked. I said I kept it because I wanted to be a writer. Sophie laughed, took some milk, and went upstairs. Mum, who had always heard my teachers praise my writing and believed I might become a writer one day, said softly, “Ignore her.”
But Sophie wasn’t my real problem. My mind was stuck on the topic. The competition theme was magic, so I couldn’t write about everyday life. I chewed on my pen, but nothing came. What could I write about?
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。
I decided to tell Mum about the competition.

【答案】17.B 18.C 19.C 20.B
【原文】W: Last year our school entered a science fair. Our teacher gave us a few ideas and then we had to design a scientific experiment. We were divided into teams and had to decide which field we would work in, like chemistry, physics or biology. Our teacher recommended looking for more ideas in science magazines and books, but I’d rather get the information online. My family home has a big garden and I like helping my father grow vegetables. So my team decided to focus on how the weather affected the growing process. We had to make our experiment as specific as possible, so we decided to think about whether the amount of rain received made a difference to the vegetable size. Then we began to design our experiment. Our teacher pointed out that a single experiment wouldn’t be enough to prove our theory. He suggested doing the experiment at least three times, but in the end we only had time to do two. When we’d written up each part of the process, we had to design a display for the fair. We tried our best to present our information as well as we could. What’s more, we’d taken lots of photos — none of the other teams did that! Ultimately, we came third in the competition which was great! It was just a really interesting project and I learned so many new things.

I love picture books. Some of my favorite childhood memories involve me climbing into my mother’s lap, a big colorful book spread out before us, enjoying the sound of her voice reading a story aloud. I had no idea at the time how lucky I was to have parents who valued the importance of reading books to their kids.
It wasn’t until I started reading books to my own kids that I began to appreciate just how influential picture books can be. Some picture books give our kids reasons to laugh out loud. Others empower their imaginations with fantastical stories and bright, detailed artwork. Still others give them permission to dream and create and make believe.
A few nights ago, my oldest child, Elias — he’s eight — decided that he was going to read a picture book to his siblings (弟弟妹妹), 5-year-old Adeline and 2-year-old Ezra. Sitting on the sofa, sandwiched between two curious kindergartners, he opened the book with a happy tone, started reading. He didn’t get two pages into the story before Ezra started pointing at various spots on the pages and saying, “dog” or “cat” or “baby.”
At first, Elias acknowledged Ezra’s ability to identify objects with head nods and words of praise, but there were just too many dogs in the story for him to keep doing it. And then, on three occasions, Adeline heard a word or phrase and broke in, “What does that mean?” Elias explained to the best of his ability, which seemed to satisfy Adeline. Though Elias did finish the story, by the end, he was speed reading. Adeline was annoyed because her fourth question was ignored, and Ezra was doing his best to tear the corners off the pages of the book, still saying “dog, dog, dog.”
But even though the moment ended in a fit of chaos, it was still a beautiful experience to watch all three of my kids engaging with the same book. All of them were enjoying the pleasure of reading at that moment, a moment that only happened because Elias chose to read a picture book.
24.Which of the following can best describe the author’s mother?
A.Serious-minded. B.Child-centered.
C.Reading-focused. D.Bookish-looking.
25.What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about concerning picture books?
A.Their artistic potential. B.Their positive impacts.
C.Their imaginative content. D.Their educational purposes.
26.How did Elias respond to Ezra’s interruptions at first?
A.He got annoyed. B.He ignored them.
C.He sped up reading. D.He showed approval.
27.What did the author find most meaningful about the picture book?
A.The kids’ group interaction with the book.
B.The story’s entertaining scenes.
C.Elias’s role as a patient storyteller.
D.Her children’s playful chaos.
【答案】24.C 25.B 26.D 27.A
【导语】文章讲述作者回忆儿时的绘本阅读经历,并通过孩子共读绘本的日常,展现绘本对孩子成长的积极意义与共读的美好价值。
【详解】24.推理判断题。根据第一段中的“I had no idea at the time how lucky I was to have parents who valued the importance of reading books to their kids.(我当时不知道,自己有多幸运,拥有重视给孩子读书的父母)”可知,作者的母亲十分注重给孩子阅读,是专注于阅读培养的人。
25.主旨大意题。根据第二段“Some picture books give our kids reasons to laugh out loud. Others empower their imaginations with fantastical stories and bright, detailed artwork. Still others give them permission to dream and create and make believe.(一些绘本让孩子开怀大笑;另一些绘本用奇幻故事和精美细致的画面激发孩子想象力;还有一些绘本让孩子敢于梦想、创造和想象)”可知,第二段主要介绍绘本给孩子带来的各类积极影响。
26.细节理解题。根据第四段中的“At first, Elias acknowledged Ezra’s ability to identify objects with head nods and words of praise.(起初,伊莱亚斯点头、夸赞埃兹拉,认可他识别事物的能力)”可知,伊莱亚斯起初对埃兹拉的打断表示认可、赞许。
27.细节理解题。根据最后一段“But even though the moment ended in a fit of chaos, it was still a beautiful experience to watch all three of my kids engaging with the same book.(尽管这一刻最后变得一片混乱,但看着三个孩子一同沉浸在同一本书中,仍是一段美好的体验)”可知,作者认为最有意义的是孩子们共同参与、互动共读绘本的过程。
C
In the Great Library of Alexandria, scholars once guarded scrolls (卷轴) containing the wisdom of the ancient world. Today, the Library of Congress houses more than 40 million books; the British Library, over 170 million items. Yet for most of human history, books were rare treasures — hand-copied, expensive, and easily lost to fire, flood, or carelessness. The story of libraries is not merely one of buildings and books, but of how civilizations have preserved, organized, and sometimes destroyed their collective memory.
The idea of a library as we know is surprisingly modern. For centuries, collections of books belonged to kings, churches, or wealthy individuals. The idea that ordinary people should have free access to knowledge — public libraries — did not gain widespread acceptance until the 19th century. In The Library: A Fragile History, Andrew Pettegree and Arthur der Weduwen track this remarkable transformation from the scrolls of the ancient past to the digital libraries of today.
Appropriately, the book opens not with grand architecture, but with the humble book tradesman. The authors spent years researching records across Europe, finding out how books were made, sold, stolen, and saved. They began with houses of God in the Middle Ages, where religious male members copied handwritten old books by candlelight, and moved through the Gutenberg revolution, when printed books suddenly became available to anyone who could afford them. Why did some collections survive while others vanished? This question drove their story forward.
In this book, the authors examine three crucial stages in library history: the age of private collections, the rise of public libraries, and the current digital transformation. These stages mirror shifting ideas about who deserves access to knowledge. Since the authors began their research, the potential dangers have only grown higher: between 2000 and 2020, more than half of all public libraries in some countries closed their doors, even as digital books became more widely available than ever before.
28.What does the author point out at the beginning of the text?
A.Libraries are declining worldwide.
B.Books used to be rare and valuable.
C.The Library of Congress is the largest.
D.Ancient libraries were better than modern ones.
29.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A.How public libraries developed.
B.Why the book is worth reading.
C.When the first library was built.
D.Who wrote The Library: A Fragile History.
30.What does the underlined word “vanished” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Spread. B.Increased. C.Disappeared. D.Changed.
31.What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?
A.To explain how libraries are organized.
B.To compare ancient and modern libraries.
C.To encourage people to read more books.
D.To introduce a book about library history.
【答案】28.B 29.A 30.C 31.D
【导语】本文通过介绍古今图书馆的发展变化背景,引出并解读了《图书馆:一部脆弱的历史》这本书的研究内容与核心视角,梳理了图书馆从古至今的发展阶段。
【详解】28.细节理解题。根据第一段“Yet for most of human history, books were rare treasures — hand-copied, expensive, and easily lost to fire, flood, or carelessness.(然而在人类历史的大部分时间里,书籍都是稀世珍宝——它们是手抄的,价格昂贵,很容易因火灾、洪水或疏忽而遗失)”可知,作者在文章开头就指出过去的书籍十分稀有珍贵。
29.主旨大意题。根据第二段“For centuries, collections of books belonged to kings, churches, or wealthy individuals. The idea that ordinary people should have free access to knowledge — public libraries — did not gain widespread acceptance until the 19th century.(几个世纪以来,藏书都属于国王、教堂或富人。普通人应当免费获取知识这一理念——也就是公共图书馆的理念——直到19世纪才得到广泛认可)”可知,第二段主要梳理介绍了公共图书馆从古至今的发展过程。
30.词句猜测题。根据第三段“Why did some collections survive while others vanished?(为什么一些藏书留存了下来,而另一些却vanished了?)”可知,vanished和前文的survive(留存下来)含义相对,由此可推知vanished意为“消失”,对应Disappeared。
31.推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是根据第二段“In The Library: A Fragile History, Andrew Pettegree and Arthur der Weduwen track this remarkable transformation from the scrolls of the ancient past to the digital libraries of today.(在《图书馆:一部脆弱的历史》一书中,安德鲁·佩特格里和亚瑟·德·伍德温追踪了从古代卷轴到今天数字图书馆的这一非凡转变)”、第三段“The authors spent years researching records across Europe, finding out how books were made, sold, stolen, and saved.(作者们花费数年时间研究欧洲各地的档案,探究书籍是如何被制作、售卖、偷盗和保存的)”以及第四段“In this book, the authors examine three crucial stages in library history(在这本书中,作者探讨了图书馆历史的三个关键阶段)”可知,本文首先介绍了图书馆的现状和历史发展,然后引出《图书馆:一部脆弱的历史》这本书,围绕这本书介绍其研究内容、研究思路,由此可推测出,作者写作本文的主要目的是介绍这本关于图书馆历史的著作。

In an era filled with short videos, 15-second social media posts, and endless phone notifications, deep reading — the slow, focused practice of engaging with long texts — is often seen as an outdated habit. However, growing research in brain science and education warns that the decline of deep reading is quietly harming young people’s intellectual and emotional growth.
According to a 2025 study by the American Psychological Association, teenagers’ average attention span has dropped from 12 seconds in 2010 to just 8 seconds in 2025 — even shorter than a goldfish’s. Researchers link this directly to the rise of “skimming culture,” where people scan digital content for key words instead of reading carefully. While skimming is useful for processing large amounts of information fast, it cannot replace the cognitive benefits of deep reading.
Unlike skimming, deep reading requires continuous focus and critical thinking. When reading long, complex texts, our brains connect ideas, follow logical arguments, and imagine described scenes. This strengthens the prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮层) — the brain area controlling decision-making, problem-solving, and emotional regulation. A 2024 Stanford University study found that students who did regular deep reading scored 23% higher on critical thinking tests than those who only read short digital content.
Beyond cognitive gains, deep reading fosters empathy. Reading literary stories lets us step into characters’ lives, share their feelings, and see the world through their eyes. This helps young people understand others — a vital skill in an increasingly divided world.
Critics argue deep reading is inefficient in the digital age, where information is abundant and time limited. But this misses the point: deep reading is not just about learning facts. It builds the ability to understand, analyze, and care about the world. As leading brain scientist Maryanne Wolf said: “We read not only to know others’ experiences, but to become people who think deeply, feel deeply, and act wisely.”
32.What is the purpose of mentioning goldfish in the text?
A.To show goldfish have short attention spans.
B.To compare human and fish brain structures.
C.To criticize teenagers’ screen addiction.
D.To highlight teens’ even shorter attention span.
33.What is directly supported by the 2024 Stanford study?
A.Deep reading strengthens the prefrontal cortex.
B.Skimming helps process information quickly.
C.Deep reading improves critical thinking test scores.
D.Attention spans have dropped since 2010.
34.What is the author’s attitude toward the critics’ view?
A.He thinks it ignores something.
B.He finds it completely wrong.
C.He agrees with their concern.
D.He is unsure about the truth.
35.What is the main idea of the text?
A.Skimming works better than deep reading now.
B.Less deep reading hurts young people’s growth.
C.Short videos and social media lengthen people’s attention.
D.Young people think deep reading is old-fashioned.
【答案】32.D 33.C 34.A 35.B
【导语】主要论述短视频时代浅读盛行,深度阅读不断减少会损害青少年心智与情感成长,并阐释深度阅读的多重价值。
【详解】32.推理判断题。根据第二段中的“According to a 2025 study by the American Psychological Association, teenagers’ average attention span has dropped from 12 seconds in 2010 to just 8 seconds in 2025 — even shorter than a goldfish’s. (根据一份美国心理学会2025年的研究,青少年的平均注意力时长已经从2010年的12秒下降到2025年仅8秒——甚至比一条金鱼的(注意力时长)更短。)”可知,文中提及金鱼是为突出青少年注意力时长变得更短。
33.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“A 2024 Stanford University study found that students who did regular deep reading scored 23% higher on critical thinking tests than those who only read short digital content. (斯坦福大学2024年的一项研究发现,经常进行深度阅读的学生,其批判性思维测试分数比只阅读简短数字内容的学生高出23%。)”可知,该研究直接佐证深度阅读能提升批判性思维测试成绩。
34.推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Critics argue deep reading is inefficient in the digital age, where information is abundant and time limited. But this misses the point: deep reading is not just about learning facts. (批评者称在信息海量、时间有限的数字时代,深度阅读效率低下。但这种观点忽略了重点:深度阅读不只是为了获取事实。)”可知,作者认为批评者的观点遗漏了关键层面。
35.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中的“However, growing research in brain science and education warns that the decline of deep reading is quietly harming young people’s intellectual and emotional growth. (然而,不断增多的在脑科学和教育方面的研究警告,深度阅读的下降正在悄悄地伤害年轻人的智力和情绪成长。)”可知,文章围绕数字时代深度阅读逐渐流失展开,层层论证缺少深度阅读会对青少年成长造成负面影响,所以“更少的深度阅读损害青少年的成长”能够完整概括全文核心。
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。
A reading log (日志) is pretty much exactly what it sounds like — a place for you to log your reading. In a reading log, you record the books you’ve read and your thoughts, reactions, and responses to them. 36 Here are a few of them that you should consider.
37 Writing down titles of books and notes of your thoughts while reading can help you keep more about what you’ve read in mind. Reading logs can act as a second brain and remember details you might forget later on.
There is no doubt that reading logs can improve your reading comprehension (理解力). 38 As a result, you can improve your comprehension of the text as well as your processing of it and its meaning.
When you are keeping a reading log, you keep track of your progress toward your reading goals. Looking through what you have put down, you’ll have clear evidence of the achievement you’re making toward the goals you set. The log also makes sure you record all of your reading “wins” so as to celebrate your progress. 39
During the course of sticking to your reading log, your writing skills will certainly be improved. If you’re regularly reading books and writing reports about what you read, you’ll be doing lots of little writing projects and getting a chance to practice and develop your writing skills. 40 You’ll notice a difference in your writing and maybe even in your critical thinking!
A.Reading logs vary from person to person.
B.Your advance is easy to see after a while.
C.Keeping a reading log offers many benefits.
D.Reading logs can help you remember more.
E.But what are the basic steps of keeping a reading log?
F.And then you will feel encouraged to continue reading,
G.When keeping logs, you slow up to deal with what you’re reading.

(阅读时写下书名和想法笔记可以帮助你记住更多读过的内容。阅读日志可以充当第二个大脑,记住你以后可能忘记的细节) ”可知,本段主要讲阅读日志帮助记忆的功能,D选项“Reading logs can help you remember more. (阅读日志可以帮助你记住更多。) ”能引出下文,该选项中的“remember more”与下文的“keep more about what you’ve read in mind”和“remember details”相呼应。
38.由上文“There is no doubt that reading logs can improve your reading comprehension (理解力). (毫无疑问,阅读日志可以提高你的阅读理解力) ”以及下文“As a result, you can improve your comprehension of the text as well as your processing of it and its meaning. (因此,你可以提高对文本的理解以及对文本及其意义的处理能力) ”可知,本空要说阅读日志如何帮助提高理解力,G选项“When keeping logs, you slow up to deal with what you’re reading. (写日志时,你会放慢速度来处理你正在阅读的内容。) ”能承上启下,符合题意,该选项中的“slow up to deal with what you’re reading”解释了为什么能提高理解力,且与下文的“As a result”形成因果关系。
39.由上文“When you are keeping a reading log, you keep track of your progress toward your reading goals. Looking through what you have put down, you’ll have clear evidence of the achievement you’re making toward the goals you set. The log also makes sure you record all of your reading “wins” so as to celebrate your progress. (当你写阅读日志时,你可以追踪阅读目标的进展。回顾你记录的内容,你会清楚看到自己朝着设定目标取得的成就。日志还能确保你记录所有阅读的‘胜利’,以便庆祝你的进步) ”可知,本段主要讲追踪进展、看到成就,B选项“Your advance is easy to see after a while. (一段时间后你的进步很容易看到。) ”能总结上文,该选项中的“Your advance is easy to see”与上文的“clear evidence of the achievement”和“celebrate your progress”相呼应。
40.由上文“During the course of sticking to your reading log, your writing skills will certainly be improved. If you’re regularly reading books and writing reports about what you read, you’ll be doing lots of little writing projects and getting a chance to practice and develop your writing skills.

【答案】
56.presented 57.recognizing 58.winners 59.an 60.whose 61.has inspired 62.officially 63.on/upon 64.to know 65.themselves
【导语】主要介绍七岁作家杰斯·乔伊斯荣获英国广播公司蓝彼得金徽章,讲述他推广儿童读写、助力儿童发声的事迹,并结合2026英国全国阅读年,强调从小培养阅读热爱的重要意义。
【详解】56.考查非谓语动词。句意:七岁作家杰斯·乔伊斯斩获英国广播公司蓝彼得金徽章,这一儿童节目颁发的最高荣誉,表彰他在儿童故事创作领域对早期读写能力、公平性与包容性做出的巨大贡献。此处为非谓语动词作后置定语修饰honor,present与逻辑主语honor之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词presented。
57.考查非谓语动词。句意:七岁作家杰斯·乔伊斯斩获英国广播公司蓝彼得金徽章,这一儿童节目颁发的最高荣誉,表彰他在儿童故事创作领域对早期读写能力、公平性与包容性做出的巨大贡献。此处为非谓语动词作结果状语,recognize与逻辑主语整句话事件之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词recognizing。
58.考查名词复数。句意:蓝彼得金徽章是英国儿童媒体与文化领域最负盛名的奖项之一,曾授予J.K.罗琳、莫·法拉爵士、格蕾塔·通贝里、史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格等名人,杰斯是该奖项史上最年轻的获奖者之一。此处为固定结构“one of +可数名词复数”,表示“……之一”,winner的复数形式为winners。
59.考查冠词。句意:杰斯因年少时倡导读写、为常被忽视的儿童发声、用故事塑造自信、激发创造力并传递社会价值而获此殊荣。固定搭配at an early age,意为“在年少时”,early是以元音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词an。故填an。
60.考查定语从句。句意:杰斯因年少时倡导读写、为常被忽视的儿童发声、用故事塑造自信、激发创造力并传递社会价值而获此殊荣。此处为限制性定语从句,先行词children指人,关系词在从句中作名词voices的定语,表所属关系,用关系代词whose。
61.考查动词时态。句意:作为“童书传童”项目创始人,迄今为止,杰斯已通过读写工坊、校园推广以及为困难社区捐赠书包和学习资源,激励了全英国数千名儿童。此处为谓语动词,根据时间状语so far可知,此处强调从过去延续到现在的动作,要用现在完成时,其结构为“have/has +过去分词”,主语Jayce是第三人称单数,所以谓语动词为has inspired。
62.考查副词。句意:这份荣誉降临在读写素养发展的里程碑之年,2026年被正式定为英国全国阅读年,着重强调从小培养终身阅读热爱的重要性。此处修饰动词announced,需要副词作状语,official对应的副词officially意为“正式地”。
63.考查介词。句意:这份荣誉降临在读写素养发展的里程碑之年,2026年被正式定为英国全国阅读年,着重强调从小培养终身阅读热爱的重要性。此处为固定搭配place stress on/upon,意为“强调、重视”,所以此处为介词on/upon。
64.考查非谓语动词。句意:杰斯·乔伊斯表示:“我想让孩子们知道,他们的故事至关重要。阅读和写作能够改变孩子们看待自己和世界的方式。”固定搭配want sb. to do sth.,意为“想要某人做某事”,此处用动词不定式to know。故填to know。
65.考查反身代词。句意:杰斯·乔伊斯表示:“我想让孩子们知道,他们的故事至关重要。阅读和写作能够改变孩子们看待自己和世界的方式。”此处指代主语children本身,需要反身代词作宾语,they对应的反身代词themselves。

【答案】Dear Ms. Green,
I’m writing to discuss our Novel Reading Challenge with you.
Now most students find it hard to stick to the activity. The main reasons are that the selected novels are far beyond our current level, and we have no fixed time to share reading thoughts, which makes the process rather boring. To make the activity more engaging, we are thinking of dividing members into different groups based on their reading level, and holding a 10-minute sharing session every week. Would you please give us some practical advice on our improvement plans?
We really hope the activity can work better with your help.
Yours,
Li Hua

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。
“What are you writing?” My sister Sophie’s voice made me snap my notebook shut. She can never keep her nose out of my stuff. She’s fifteen, just two years older, but the way she gives orders, you’d think she runs the house.
“It’s nothing,” I said. I didn’t want to mention the competition. I didn’t want to look silly if I lost.
Everyone in my family is good at something. Sophie has swimming medals. Mum’s baking always wins prizes, and Dad is the best chess player in his club. I once took ballet, but I was always facing the wrong way and tripping over others. Sports are not for me.
I love English class and writing stories. My favourite teacher, Miss Lucy, told me about the competition. I felt so happy when she praised my stories. The only problem was, I couldn’t think of a single idea.
“Is that your secret diary?” Sophie tried to grab my notebook, but I knocked her hand away. “It’s my writer’s notebook,” I said proudly. I told her Miss Lucy said I should write for fun, and writers always carry a notebook. Sophie yawned and opened the fridge.
Just then, Mum came in with shopping bags. “Who has a secret diary?” she asked. I said I kept it because I wanted to be a writer. Sophie laughed, took some milk, and went upstairs. Mum, who had always heard my teachers praise my writing and believed I might become a writer one day, said softly, “Ignore her.”
But Sophie wasn’t my real problem. My mind was stuck on the topic. The competition theme was magic, so I couldn’t write about everyday life. I chewed on my pen, but nothing came. What could I write about?
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。
I decided to tell Mum about the competition.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A few days later, I received an e-mail saying I had won the competition.

【答案】例文
I decided to tell Mum about the competition. I admitted I was stuck on the theme “magic.” Mum set down her bags and smiled. “Magic isn’t just about wands and spells. It’s hidden in everyday love — the way your face lights up when I bake, or how Sophie once stayed up all night when you were sick, though she’d never admit it.” Her words washed over me like a warm tide. Suddenly I saw magic everywhere. I rushed to my desk, and my pen raced across the page, turning those small moments into a story called “The invisible Magic.” After polishing every word carefully, I submitted my story that night.
A few days later, I received an e-mail saying I had won the competition. I let out a shout that brought the whole family running. Mum pulled me into a tight hug, and Dad gave a proud nod. Sophie stood there, and then, to my surprise, she mumbled, “I guess you’re not so bad at something after all.” I laughed. Staring at the notification on my screen, I realized the real magic wasn’t the prize — it was discovering that the love around me had always been my greatest inspiration.

I love picture books. Some of my favorite childhood memories involve me climbing into my mother’s lap, a big colorful book spread out before us, enjoying the sound of her voice reading a story aloud. I had no idea at the time how lucky I was to have parents who valued the importance of reading books to their kids.
It wasn’t until I started reading books to my own kids that I began to appreciate just how influential picture books can be. Some picture books give our kids reasons to laugh out loud. Others empower their imaginations with fantastical stories and bright, detailed artwork. Still others give them permission to dream and create and make believe.
A few nights ago, my oldest child, Elias — he’s eight — decided that he was going to read a picture book to his siblings (弟弟妹妹), 5-year-old Adeline and 2-year-old Ezra. Sitting on the sofa, sandwiched between two curious kindergartners, he opened the book with a happy tone, started reading. He didn’t get two pages into the story before Ezra started pointing at various spots on the pages and saying, “dog” or “cat” or “baby.”
At first, Elias acknowledged Ezra’s ability to identify objects with head nods and words of praise, but there were just too many dogs in the story for him to keep doing it. And then, on three occasions, Adeline heard a word or phrase and broke in, “What does that mean?” Elias explained to the best of his ability, which seemed to satisfy Adeline. Though Elias did finish the story, by the end, he was speed reading. Adeline was annoyed because her fourth question was ignored, and Ezra was doing his best to tear the corners off the pages of the book, still saying “dog, dog, dog.”
But even though the moment ended in a fit of chaos, it was still a beautiful experience to watch all three of my kids engaging with the same book. All of them were enjoying the pleasure of reading at that moment, a moment that only happened because Elias chose to read a picture book.
24.Which of the following can best describe the author’s mother?
A.Serious-minded. B.Child-centered.
C.Reading-focused. D.Bookish-looking.
25.What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about concerning picture books?
A.Their artistic potential. B.Their positive impacts.
C.Their imaginative content. D.Their educational purposes.
26.How did Elias respond to Ezra’s interruptions at first?
A.He got annoyed. B.He ignored them.
C.He sped up reading. D.He showed approval.
27.What did the author find most meaningful about the picture book?
A.The kids’ group interaction with the book.
B.The story’s entertaining scenes.
C.Elias’s role as a patient storyteller.
D.Her children’s playful chaos.

In the Great Library of Alexandria, scholars once guarded scrolls (卷轴) containing the wisdom of the ancient world. Today, the Library of Congress houses more than 40 million books; the British Library, over 170 million items. Yet for most of human history, books were rare treasures — hand-copied, expensive, and easily lost to fire, flood, or carelessness. The story of libraries is not merely one of buildings and books, but of how civilizations have preserved, organized, and sometimes destroyed their collective memory.
The idea of a library as we know is surprisingly modern. For centuries, collections of books belonged to kings, churches, or wealthy individuals. The idea that ordinary people should have free access to knowledge — public libraries — did not gain widespread acceptance until the 19th century. In The Library: A Fragile History, Andrew Pettegree and Arthur der Weduwen track this remarkable transformation from the scrolls of the ancient past to the digital libraries of today.
Appropriately, the book opens not with grand architecture, but with the humble book tradesman. The authors spent years researching records across Europe, finding out how books were made, sold, stolen, and saved. They began with houses of God in the Middle Ages, where religious male members copied handwritten old books by candlelight, and moved through the Gutenberg revolution, when printed books suddenly became available to anyone who could afford them. Why did some collections survive while others vanished? This question drove their story forward.
In this book, the authors examine three crucial stages in library history: the age of private collections, the rise of public libraries, and the current digital transformation. These stages mirror shifting ideas about who deserves access to knowledge. Since the authors began their research, the potential dangers have only grown higher: between 2000 and 2020, more than half of all public libraries in some countries closed their doors, even as digital books became more widely available than ever before.
28.What does the author point out at the beginning of the text?
A.Libraries are declining worldwide.
B.Books used to be rare and valuable.
C.The Library of Congress is the largest.
D.Ancient libraries were better than modern ones.
29.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A.How public libraries developed.
B.Why the book is worth reading.
C.When the first library was built.

D
In an era filled with short videos, 15-second social media posts, and endless phone notifications, deep reading — the slow, focused practice of engaging with long texts — is often seen as an outdated habit. However, growing research in brain science and education warns that the decline of deep reading is quietly harming young people’s intellectual and emotional growth.
According to a 2025 study by the American Psychological Association, teenagers’ average attention span has dropped from 12 seconds in 2010 to just 8 seconds in 2025 — even shorter than a goldfish’s. Researchers link this directly to the rise of “skimming culture,” where people scan digital content for key words instead of reading carefully. While skimming is useful for processing large amounts of information fast, it cannot replace the cognitive benefits of deep reading.
Unlike skimming, deep reading requires continuous focus and critical thinking. When reading long, complex texts, our brains connect ideas, follow logical arguments, and imagine described scenes. This strengthens the prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮层) — the brain area controlling decision-making, problem-solving, and emotional regulation. A 2024 Stanford University study found that students who did regular deep reading scored 23% higher on critical thinking tests than those who only read short digital content.
Beyond cognitive gains, deep reading fosters empathy. Reading literary stories lets us step into characters’ lives, share their feelings, and see the world through their eyes. This helps young people understand others — a vital skill in an increasingly divided world.
Critics argue deep reading is inefficient in the digital age, where information is abundant and time limited. But this misses the point: deep reading is not just about learning facts. It builds the ability to understand, analyze, and care about the world. As leading brain scientist Maryanne Wolf said: “We read not only to know others’ experiences, but to become people who think deeply, feel deeply, and act wisely.”
32.What is the purpose of mentioning goldfish in the text?
A.To show goldfish have short attention spans.
B.To compare human and fish brain structures.
C.To criticize teenagers’ screen addiction.
D.To highlight teens’ even shorter attention span.
33.What is directly supported by the 2024 Stanford study?
A.Deep reading strengthens the prefrontal cortex.
B.Skimming helps process information quickly.
C.Deep reading improves critical thinking test scores.
D.Attention spans have dropped since 2010.
34.What is the author’s attitude toward the critics’ view?
A.He thinks it ignores something.
B.He finds it completely wrong.
C.He agrees with their concern.
D.He is unsure about the truth.
35.What is the main idea of the text?
A.Skimming works better than deep reading now.
B.Less deep reading hurts young people’s growth.
C.Short videos and social media lengthen people’s attention.
D.Young people think deep reading is old-fashioned.
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。
A reading log (日志) is pretty much exactly what it sounds like — a place for you to log your reading. In a reading log, you record the books you’ve read and your thoughts, reactions, and responses to them. 36 Here are a few of them that you should consider.
37 Writing down titles of books and notes of your thoughts while reading can help you keep more about what you’ve read in mind. Reading logs can act as a second brain and remember details you might forget later on.
There is no doubt that reading logs can improve your reading comprehension (理解力). 38 As a result, you can improve your comprehension of the text as well as your processing of it and its meaning.
When you are keeping a reading log, you keep track of your progress toward your reading goals. Looking through what you have put down, you’ll have clear evidence of the achievement you’re making toward the goals you set. The log also makes sure you record all of your reading “wins” so as to celebrate your progress. 39
During the course of sticking to your reading log, your writing skills will certainly be improved. If you’re regularly reading books and writing reports about what you read, you’ll be doing lots of little writing projects and getting a chance to practice and develop your writing skills. 40 You’ll notice a difference in your writing and maybe even in your critical thinking!
A.Reading logs vary from person to person.
B.Your advance is easy to see after a while.
C.Keeping a reading log offers many benefits.
D.Reading logs can help you remember more.
E.But what are the basic steps of keeping a reading log?
F.And then you will feel encouraged to continue reading,
G.When keeping logs, you slow up to deal with what you’re reading.

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。
“What are you writing?” My sister Sophie’s voice made me snap my notebook shut. She can never keep her nose out of my stuff. She’s fifteen, just two years older, but the way she gives orders, you’d think she runs the house.
“It’s nothing,” I said. I didn’t want to mention the competition. I didn’t want to look silly if I lost.
Everyone in my family is good at something. Sophie has swimming medals. Mum’s baking always wins prizes, and Dad is the best chess player in his club. I once took ballet, but I was always facing the wrong way and tripping over others. Sports are not for me.
I love English class and writing stories. My favourite teacher, Miss Lucy, told me about the competition. I felt so happy when she praised my stories. The only problem was, I couldn’t think of a single idea.
“Is that your secret diary?” Sophie tried to grab my notebook, but I knocked her hand away. “It’s my writer’s notebook,” I said proudly. I told her Miss Lucy said I should write for fun, and writers always carry a notebook. Sophie yawned and opened the fridge.
Just then, Mum came in with shopping bags. “Who has a secret diary?” she asked. I said I kept it because I wanted to be a writer. Sophie laughed, took some milk, and went upstairs. Mum, who had always heard my teachers praise my writing and believed I might become a writer one day, said softly, “Ignore her.”
But Sophie wasn’t my real problem. My mind was stuck on the topic. The competition theme was magic, so I couldn’t write about everyday life. I chewed on my pen, but nothing came. What could I write about?
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。
I decided to tell Mum about the competition.

Last year, our school entered a science fair. Our teacher gave us a few ideas, and then we had to design a scientific experiment. We were divided into teams and had to decide which field we would work in, like chemistry, physics or biology. Our teacher recommended looking for more ideas in science magazines and books, but i'd rather get the information online. My family home has a big garden, and I like helping my father grow vegetables. So my team decided to focus on how the weather affected the growing process. We had to make our experiment as specific as possible, so we decided to think about whether the amount of rain received made a difference to the vegetable size. Then we began to design our experiment. Our teacher pointed out that a single experiment wouldn't be enough to prove our theory. He's suggested doing the experiment at least three times, but in the end we only had time to do too. When we'd written up each part of the process, we had to design a display for the fair. We tried our best to present our information as well as we could. What's more, we taken lots of photos. None of the other teams did that. Ultimately, we came third in the competition, which was great. IT was just a really interesting project, and I learned so many new things. Last year, our school entered a science fair.
