Not only does it shield us from online fraud and harassment, but our personal rights and safety can also be safeguarded. Therefore, we must develop good online habits to safeguard online privacy in daily life. First and foremost, never post sensitive personal information like phone numbers, school addresses and photos on public platforms. Of equal importance is to stay alert to suspicious links and strange messages, which may lead to privacy leakage. Finally, we should also respect others’ online privacy and avoid sharing others’ private content without permission. In short, only by being cautious online can we enjoy a safe and healthy digital environment. 【导语】本篇书面表达要求考生以“Be Cautious Online, Keep Privacy Safe”为题为校英文报举办的征文活动投稿。 【详解】1.词汇积累 至关重要的：essential — crucial 对……保持警觉：stay alert to... — keep... on one's toes 避免：avoid — refrain from 导致：lead to→ result in 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：With the rapid development of the Internet, online privacy protection has become essential for teenagers. 拓展句：As the Internet develops rapidly, online privacy protection has become essential for teenagers. 【点睛】【高分句型1】Not only does it shield us from online fraud and harassment, but our personal rights and safety can also be safeguarded.（运用了Not only置于句首引起的部分倒装） 【高分句型2】Of equal importance is to stay alert to suspicious links and strange messages, which may lead to privacy leakage.（运用了表语Of equal importance置于句首引起的全部倒装以及which引导的非限定性定语从句） 67． After another upsetting wake-up, Aliya dialed the number back home. “Are you OK, my sweetheart?” Her mother’s voice came through, warm and concerned. As she fumbled for a decent excuse, she could clearly hear her father scurrying toward the phone, obviously surprised at the rare call. Before she could pour out her grievances, her parents continued softly, “Whatever happens, dear, we are here.” Aliya gripped the phone, tears rolling down like unleashed floodwaters. The conversation ended sooner than she had wished, yet Aliya felt something loosen in her chest. She quickly erased her trail in New York and flew back as determinedly as she had once left. Aliya took a job in the town library. It was a plain building against the gentle hills, its windows facing the slow-moving river, peaceful and safe. Children came after school and embraced her before leaving. She walked home each evening, greeted by the peddlers and sometimes even friends along the way. In the warmth of her family home, she sat with her parents, hearing stories she had been too impatient to listen to before. Aliya finally felt a sense of contentment. She had spent the best of her twenties chasing the glamour of a distant shore, only to find she had possessed it here from the very beginning. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Aliya从小生活在斯里兰卡宁静的小镇，一心向往外面广阔的世界。二十二岁时她拿到奖学金远赴纽约求学，努力融入当地，收获光鲜的工作与生活。三十岁失业之后，过往的繁华全部消散，她陷入迷茫失落，重新思考归属感的真正含义。 【详解】 1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写Aliya拨通家里电话，父母温暖的话语抚慰了她受伤的内心，她下定决心告别纽约，回到故乡。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写Aliya回到家乡之后的日常工作与生活，在熟悉的山水与家人陪伴下，她找到了内心真正的满足，领悟归属感一直就在故乡。 2. 续写线索： 拨通家里电话 ——父母温情安慰 —— 下定决心返乡 —— 图书馆工作 —— 感受家乡烟火 —— 获得内心满足 3.词汇激活 行为类 ① 抓住：grip/seize ② 结束：end/conclude 情绪类 ① 惊讶的：surprised/astonished ② 满足：contentment/satisfaction 【点睛】【高分句型1】It was a plain building against the gentle hills, its windows facing the slow-moving river, peaceful and safe.(运用了独立主格结构作状语) 【高分句型2】She had spent the best of her twenties chasing the glamour of a distant shore, only to find she had possessed it here from the very beginning.(运用了动词不定式短语作结果状语) 附：听力原文： 1． 【原文】M: Would you like to watch a movie with me tonight? W: Sorry, but my paper is due tomorrow. M: That’s a pity. I’ve bought some popcorn. Maybe next time. 2． 【原文】W: How’s David doing? I heard his car rolled over. M: He’s finally come back to work but with his head wrapped up. He is lucky he didn’t break his arm. 3． 【原文】M: What stop is this? I need to get off at 5th Avenue. W: It’s 6th Avenue. The bus won’t stop again until 8th Avenue. M: Oh, I have to get off here and walk back. 4． 【原文】M: How do you like your new job? W: I’m glad the clinic isn’t as large as the last hospital. And we only have 6-hour shifts instead of 8-hour and that makes a great difference when you are helping patients non-stop. 5． 【原文】W: Careful! Don’t knock over the apple juice on the kitchen table. M: Don’t worry. I’ll be careful. Is there any more in the fridge? I love it so much. 6．~7． 【原文】W: I do worry about Terry. He totally has no idea of his future career. M: Come on. He’s still young. And as parents, we just need to give him more time to find where his passion lies. W: But nothing seems to draw his interest. M: I caught him searching for college courses online the other day, so I don’t think we should worry too much. W: Well, that’s good to hear. 8．~9． 【原文】M: Hey Mira, thanks for volunteering. We really appreciate your help with this year’s sales conference. W: Don’t mention it. Can you tell me what I should do? M: Yes. We need some help making a video for the presentations and setting up the desks and the chairs. Which do you prefer? W: Well, I have been working so long in front of a computer at my job, so I’d like to do the latter. M: OK, I understand. The furniture storage room is over there. 10．~12． 【原文】W: Hi, Jack. Have you decided on your major yet? M: Yes, I chose computer science. I’ve always been interested in how software works. What about you, Lily? W: I’m studying environmental science because I want to help protect the environment. And my parents really support me. M: That sounds meaningful. What kind of courses do you take? W: We study ecology and climate change, and sometimes we go out to collect samples. M: Interesting. In my major, we now mainly learn data structures. And in the following semesters, we will learn about software development and computer networks, which can be more difficult. W: Do you enjoy your courses? M: Yes, especially when I finish a project successfully. W: That’s nice. I think both of us are learning useful things for the future. M: I can’t agree more. 13．~16． 【原文】M: Sarah, what was it like when you first started your business? W: You know, after graduation, I didn’t have the money, the connections, or the experience. But I told myself I should stop worrying about what I didn’t have. Instead, I looked at my abilities and what I could do, which made me confident about my dream — to create a well-made dress. M: How did your family and friends react to your decision to enter the fashion industry? W: At the time, not many people believed I had made the right decision. So I had to be my own supporter, and make it work. M: So you’ve been building your business for at least five years now. What’s it like today? W: It’s not that different. I’m still sleeping about four to five hours a day, working seven days a week, and managing five separate email accounts. M: I really admire what you’ve achieved through all your hard work. While work is certainly important, you should also take good care of your health. After all, slow and steady wins the race. 17．~20． 【原文】 W/M: During my summer holiday, I traveled to a small coastal town named Maris with my family. On the first morning, we visited a history museum. After that, we joined a guided tour. Our guide didn’t take us to the famous ancient temple, which is always overcrowded. Instead, she took us to a low mountain and showed us around the remains of an ancient academy. Most of the buildings were in ruins, but we could still imagine how scholars studied there hundreds of years ago. We then took a bus to the suburban area for lunch. We had local seafood dishes. After the meal, we walked along the river to a quiet bay. The next morning, we could choose from several sea activities. Most of our group chose surfing. In the afternoon, there were two different handmade workshops to pick from. One made vases and bowls, which I was not interested in. The other produced woven baskets with unique local patterns, so my family and I chose this one. The craftsmen used skills passed down from their ancestors. I even tried making a small basket myself. 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。Would you like to watch a movie . with me tonight? Sorry, but my paper is . due tomorrow. That's a pity.

Here’s the breakdown of electricity generation shares in the EU in 2025. The EU’s electricity transition reached a new milestone, with wind and solar generating more power than fossil (化石) fuels. A closer look at the data reveals the following highlights: ● 369 TWh. EU solar generation reached a record 369 TWh, 20% higher than that in 2024. ● 47.6%. The weather conditions boosted solar generation, with renewables providing nearly half of EU power (47.6%). Wind remained the second largest EU electricity source at 16.9% of EU power, above gas. ● 30.1%. Wind and solar generated a record 30.1% of EU electricity, higher than fossil power for the first time on record. Wind and solar generated more electricity than fossil fuels in 14 of the 27 EU countries. ● 9.2%. Coal power fell to a new historic low of 9.2%. In 19 EU countries, coal power was at less than 5%. This milestone moment shows just how quickly things are changing in the EU’s power industry. By investing across the power system to employ the potential of batteries, grids and electrified tech, the EU is trying its best to make use of homegrown renewable power to stabilize prices and ensure energy consumption and security. 21．What is the percentage of power generated from non-renewables in 2025? A．52.4%. B．47.6%. C．41.8%. D．29.0%. 22．What can we learn about the EU’s electricity transition? A．Fossil fuels remained unchanged. B．Gas overtook wind power. C．Renewables were gaining ground. D．Coal power was on the rise. 23．What is the EU doing to transform its power industry? A．Improving energy efficiency. B．Employing more nuclear power. C．Limiting energy consumption. D．Strengthening the power system. B The light is pouring through the windows as I stare attentively at a violin-shaped piece of wood in my hands. I run my fingertips over the rough surface to feel for imperfections that will need to be removed. “Violin making is easy,” my teacher used to joke, “just take away all the bits of wood that aren’t a violin.” By the time I’m in my workshop holding this piece of wood, I’ve already been up for many hours. I’m an early riser. After coffee, I head out for an hour-long walk with my dog, Eggs. Most of my ideas come to me during morning walks, including my proudest project to date: a violin I made for a film supporting the Right to Roam campaign, which advocates for public access to the countryside in the landscape. The violin has become the community’s shared treasure for local folk players to take into the hills and play. I love walking into my workshop in the morning. My work varies from small adjustments to more extensive work requiring a careful handling of the violin as a historical object. You never know what you’ll find inside an old violin. One of my favorite repairs involved a violin full of cracks. When I removed the front of it, I found its inside filled with pencil signatures from makers of the past. One read, in beautiful old calligraphic writing: “Le Petit Luthier à Paris, 1825”. Although many heritage crafts, like violin making, play a vital role in cultural economy, they’re usually not big money earners. My choice of job also informs my lifestyle. While my friends devote time to travel and spend money on luxuries, I invest my time in community, nature, and my growth as a craftsperson. I didn’t truly find my way to those things, or realize how much fulfilling they are, until I began working as a violin maker. 24．What’s required to be a violin maker? A．Good sense of humor. B．Keen eyes and sensitive touch. C．Good knowledge of technology. D．Rich experience in cutting wood. 25．Why does the author value the film project so much? A．It is for public welfare. B．It is loved by the folk players. C．It is highly ranked by experts. D．It was shown in a famous film. 26．What impressed the author most about the old violin she repaired? A．The fine skill it showed. B．The person who crafted it. C．Traces of history it carried. D．Severe damage it suffered. 27．What does the author want to convey through his story? A．Love will find a way. B．Still water runs deep. C．Actions speak louder than words. D．The best things in life are not material. C A baby rabbit has recently started hanging out in my backyard. Every now and then, it nibbles (啃) on plants or lies in the sun. Most of the time, it runs around sharply and rushes into corners so wildly that dirt flies up in messy circles. A human child acting this way would probably be made by their parents to clean up the yard and stay indoors. If only more children could be as lucky as rabbits. In fact, most young people today do not enjoy such freedom of movement. The World Health Organization reports that 81 percent of teenagers around the world take insufficient exercise, and it adds that the number of young people who stay still for long hours usually goes up with economic growth. There are reasons for this phenomenon. Many children lack access to woods, fields, and other open spaces where they might play freely, while others are restricted from such activities by their parents. In the United States, many parents routinely limit their children’s rough play due to safety concerns or the influence of social standards, which require kids to stay quiet in public places like waiting rooms, subways, stores and restaurants. However, this preference for calm behavior may wrongly suggest that inactivity is better, despite the fact that physical movement is particularly important for children’s development. Research has found that children who move have healthier bones, muscles, and joints, and a lower future risk of being overweight or getting viral infections; active kids also develop superior cognitive (认知的) skills, earn better grades, and are more likely to stay on task than kids who are less active. And a recently published study that examined teenage depression among English youth suggested that increased sedentary (久坐的) behavior in youth could affect a person’s mental health into adulthood. Thankfully, providing kids with more freedom doesn’t require much money. Mostly, it just requires a little creativity. For example, parents can let kids play freely on a cheap yoga ball or do simple movement challenges. 28．How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1? A．By making a contrast. B．By telling a story. C．By defining a concept. D．By showing a trend. 29．What may lead to kids’ inactivity according to paragraph 3? A．Children’s preference. B．Parents’ busy routine. C．Children’s quiet nature. D．Parents’ overprotection. 30．What advantage may physically active kids have according to the text? A．Lower death risk. B．Stronger social skills. C．Greater mood swings. D．Better attention control. 31．Which statement will the author probably agree with? A．Discipline comes before freedom. B．Academic success relies on quietness. C．Safety outweighs physical activity. D．Physical activity promotes well-being. D Scientists have long believed that around 700 million years ago, Earth experienced extreme cold conditions, known as a “snowball Earth”, where ice stretched from the poles to the equator. However, the exact degree of this coldness had remained unclear. Now, an international research team led by Chinese scientists has made a major breakthrough by providing the first data-based measurements of ocean temperatures from that period. The findings, published recently in a journal, suggested that ocean temperatures at continental edges were roughly between -22℃ and -8℃. These areas were where life was most active. The seawater was also up to four times saltier than modern ocean water. “This is the coldest measured ocean temperature in Earth’s history,” said Lu Kai, first author of the study and researcher from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. This extreme cold period left behind special rocks: rusty (生锈的) red iron formations found where continental glaciers (冰川) met the ice - covered seas. The researchers used these rocks to measure ancient temperatures. They focused on iron isotopes (同位素) — different forms of iron atoms (原子). These isotopes change in a regular pattern as temperature changes, making them reliable for temperature measurement. By analyzing the iron isotopes in the rocks, the team figured out how cold the ancient ocean was. The results showed that the surface seawater temperature was much lower than today’s 17℃, yet it remained unfrozen. Lu explained that this extreme environment was likely to have formed at the base of massive ice shelves. During the melting (融化) and freezing cycles, ice pushes out salts, which build up over time. This creates salt-rich areas with extremely low temperatures. The high salt environment serves as a natural antifreeze, allowing seawater to stay liquid at temperatures far below the normal freezing point. “This discovery helps us understand how early life survived in such extreme climates,” Lu said. “It provides the first solid evidence of the marine environment during that era and serves as a valuable reference for understanding dramatic climate changes and how early life adapted to challenging conditions.” 32．What was uncertain about the “snowball Earth” period before Lu’s study? A．The most active areas for life. B．The timing of that period. C．The precise ocean temperature. D．The coverage of ice on Earth. 33．What made iron isotopes a useful measuring tool in the study? A．Their stability in cold environments. B．Their regular change with temperature. C．Their formation under salty condition. D．Their widespread presence in the rocks. 34．Why does the seawater remain unfrozen in the extreme cold? A．Massive ice shelves trap heat. B．Marine life speeds up glacier melting. C．Salt lowers the freezing point. D．Melting-freezing cycles release energy. 35．What does Lu say about the discovery? A．It defines an era. B．It reveals changes. C．It predicts climate. D．It proves evolution. 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。 We make thousands of decisions every day. Some are small and routine, while others can influence our studies, relationships, or future plans. 36 The following steps can help you make clear, informed, and defensible choices. Start by clarifying the issue at hand. What’s the actual question you’re trying to answer? Who is responsible for a decision, and more importantly, is it even your decision to make? 37 Don’t shoulder a responsibility that isn’t yours, or get distracted (干扰) by a different line of thought. Explore all options, especially the uncomfortable ones. 38 Don’t discount an option just because it feels unlikely, unrealistic, or hard. Sometimes the best solution appears only after you have considered ideas that seem unusual at first. Giving all options a fair shot and thinking them through carefully is what philosophers call the “principle of charity”. 39 You don’t have to make tough decisions alone, and you are often not the only person involved or impacted. Who else might bring insight, lived experience, or a different perspective to this issue? Discussions help you identify your blind spots, uncover values you haven’t considered, and check your own personal biases that may be unconsciously influencing your decision — making process. The goal is a thoughtful decision: one you can explain clearly, stand behind confidently, and live with over time. 40 Remember: sometimes there is no ideal answer; what matters most is that your decision reflects sound reasoning, principled judgment, and the courage to act on what you believe is right. A．Identify possible options. B．Seek out other perspectives. C．Once the issue is clear, map out every possible path. D．To make a decision is not about making the perfect one. E．How do you usually handle difficult choices in your daily life? F．How do you know if the decision you’re making is the right one? G．Clarifying these helps ensure that you are working on the right problem. 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。 Back in 2001, Diane Charles was taking a morning walk along a beach when something unusual caught her eye. A 41 covered in seagrass was rolling in the waves. Curious, she picked it up and found a note inside, written in Spanish. With help from locals, she tried to 42 the message. Eventually, a scholar helped decode it, which roughly read, “Life has taught me all is 43 , and that receiving love and success is second to this.” The most important clues were a name, a Colombian address, and a fax number. These details 44 Charles to Erika Boyero, a woman from Colombia who had thrown the bottle into the sea four years earlier on a cruise ship near Norway. In 1997, looking for something fun to do, Boyero wrote several notes, 45 them in empty bottles, and threw them overboard. Then she forgot all about them. Years later, her father surprised her with 46 news. “Hey, you received a fax from Australia,” he told her. Boyero was stunned, but eventually it 47 — the bottles. “There are so many millions of people in the world,” she said. “… and when 48 shows a person you have to meet in this life… it is beautiful.” What started as a mysterious ocean message soon turned into a long-distance 49 . For the next 25 years, Charles and Boyero stayed in touch, 50 life updates and milestones. Recently, Boyero called Charles with an idea: she wanted to fly to Tasmania so they could finally meet in person. When Boyero arrived, Charles said their reunion felt 51 . Once she walked into the terminal, the two 52 like “long lost friends”. The following morning, they walked together along the same beach where the bottle had been 53 ashore all those years ago. Looking back, Boyero says the early translation of her message wasn’t far from what she 54 wrote. “Life has taught me all is possible,” she said. “I wish you good fortune wherever you are.” And thanks to a bottle 55 across the ocean, those words ended up connecting two people half a world apart. 41．A．note B．bottle C．ship D．message 42．A．figure out B．search for C．pass down D．reply to 43．A．simple B．valuable C．important D．possible 44．A．entrusted B．accompanied C．led D．limited 45．A．sealed B．gathered C．cast D．hid 46．A．terrific B．unexpected C．unpleasant D．terrible 47．A．echoed B．worked C．clicked D．happened 48．A．destiny B．nature C．chance D．luck 49．A．journey B．friendship C．business D．encounter 50．A．celebrating B．recalling C．comparing D．sharing 51．A．strange B．formal C．natural D．awkward 52．A．embraced B．winked C．nodded D．wept 53．A．thrown B．washed C．pulled D．stuck 54．A．simply B．rarely C．originally D．actually 55．A．sinking B．breaking C．flying D．drifting 第二节 语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分：共15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式（注意：答案请写在答题卡上，写在本卷无效）。 On Saturday, as China marked World Sleep Day, doctors urged the public to prioritize sleep health. Actually, poor sleep 56 (affect) hundreds of millions of people nationwide in the last decades. According to a report by the China Sleep Research Society in March, over 300 million people in China suffer from sleep disorders, nearly half of them 57 (require) medical intervention. Experts attribute the widespread issue 58 long working hours, work-related stress, and modern lifestyle habits. Cultural commentator Xi Rui noted that anxiety over career prospects, along with heavy 59 (rely) on coffee, milk tea, and smartphones reduces sleep time significantly currently. Sun Fenghui, director of the Neurology Department at Beijing Youan Hospital, emphasized that sleep plays a(n) 60 (replaceable) role in human health, as quality sleep helps restore the body, control hormones, strengthen immunity, 61 clear brain waste. For individuals with chronic illnesses, the consequences are even more severe. Zhang Tong, director of the hospital’s Infection Department, warned that sleep disorders may increase 62 risk of heart disease and damage cognitive function, possibly causing irritability(烦躁), slowed thinking, and even severe memory loss. Zhang added that sleep issues are especially common among people with HIV, as some HIV drugs have side effects on the central nervous system 63 can disrupt sleep. Poor sleep, in turn, may make it harder for patients to adhere to (遵守) their treatment, 64 (potential) leading to failure. To improve sleep quality, doctors recommend maintaining a regular sleep routine and limiting screen time before bed. Those with chronic conditions 65 (advise) to consult healthcare providers if sleep problems persist. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分) 第一节（满分15分) 66．为配合校园网络安全宣传活动,你校英文报正举办征文活动。请以“Be Cautious Online, Keep Privacy Safe”为题投稿。内容包括: (1)网络隐私保护的意义; (2)网络隐私保护的做法。 注意: (1)写作词数应为100个左右; (2)可适当增加细节,以使行文连贯; (3)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Be Cautious Online, Keep Privacy Safe _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节（满分25分) 67．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。 Aliya grew up in Nuwara Eliya of Sri Lanka, a small town nestled between gentle hills and a slow-moving river. It was peaceful, her mother often said. It was safe, her father would add, patting her shoulder with his calloused hand. But Aliya thought: Is this all there is? She was certain that her future — her real life — lay somewhere else on a global stage. At twenty-two, Aliya won a scholarship to a university in New York. Her parents, proud and heartbroken, saw her off at the airport. “Come back,” they said. She smiled and waved, already gone in her mind. New York was everything she had imagined. She walked along the Hudson at sunset, visited museums she had only seen in books, and sat in lecture halls where professors discussed ideas in a way she had never encountered. She told herself this was living. She threw herself into her studies, networked at every event, and applied for every internship. She learned to laugh at jokes she didn’t understand, to dress the part, and to mold herself into someone who belonged. Sometimes she called home, hasty and casual. She was relentless in this city, always reaching for the next hold. At twenty-five, she landed a job at a prestigious firm. At twenty-seven, she had an apartment with a view of Manhattan’s skyline, a circle of cosmopolitan friends, and a calendar filled with gallery openings and rooftop parties. “You’re living the dream,” her friends back in Nuwara Eliya would say during video calls, their voices tinged with envy. Right after her thirtieth birthday, she was laid off. Emails for a new job went unanswered. The apartment became cold and hollow. She suddenly realized that all her relationships were brief and transactional connections that soon faded. She had trained herself to be a New Yorker, and now, when she needed a place to truly belong, she found herself in a city caring little about her existence. She woke up each morning feeling at a loss, her future dimming. 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。 After another upsetting wake-up, Aliya dialed the number back home. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Aliya took a job in the town library. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
