When a friend or classmate is overwhelmed by emotional pain or stuck in a frightening mental health emergency, young learners will know how to provide initial support and accompany them through the hard time until professional assistance steps in or the tough situation eases off. Learning Outcomes Upon completion of this course students will be able to: ·Recognise the signs and symptoms of mental health problems commonly experienced in young people. ·Know when and how to seek the support of a trusted adult. ·Use an evidence-based action plan to initiate a mental health first aid conversation. ·Assess a range of crisis situations and provide initial support. Requirements ·Suitable for secondary school students in Years 7-9 and 10-12. It can also be delivered in other settings such as sports clubs and youth organizations. ·The course must be delivered to the entire group. For example, to every Year 10 student or every member of a team. ·Teen MHFA can only be delivered when a minimum of 10% of the supporting adults e.g., school staff, volunteers, etc. have completed Youth MHFA training. This helps to ensure trained Mental Health First Aiders are available to support students. Duration & Format The course is delivered by 3 face-to-face classroom sessions. Course Fees Mental Health First Aid Australia does not employ the instructors that it trains and licenses. Therefore, each Licensed MHFA instructor has the autonomy and flexibility to set their own course fees. Course fees do vary for many reasons which can include course type, individual instructor qualifications, course venue and course location. 21. What can students learn from the MHFA course? A. Strategies to cure mental illnesses. B. Skills to offer peer mental support. C. Ways to solve mental crises alone. D. Methods to avoid mental emergencies. 22.

B My teacher was one of the people I most wanted to see whenever I visited New York City. Usually I’d call her as soon as I was settled, and it was thrilling to hear her voice and then to arrange a meeting time. But in 2024, when I turned 75 and she was 96, I put off making the call. Each time I thought about phoning her, I feared that when I said my name, she would say, “Who?” I first met Lore Segal in 1975, when I took her writing class at Columbia University. Back then, all I knew about her was that she ‘d recently lost her husband. I hadn’t known that when she was a little girl, her family went through a series of ups and downs and that at 10 years old, she was even transported alone all the way to England, where she drifted between different temporary homes. Small and self-confident, Lore had a pale face and curly hair. She was particular, her whole manner changing when someone expressed something pompous (言辞浮夸的) or emotional. She said firmly that no one ever again needed to describe someone drinking coffee or getting into and out of a car. She also stated that for a reader to remember a particular detail, you had to write it one and a half times, a rule both impossible to follow and true. When she leaned toward a text, I saw the obvious pleasure she took in sharing a passage and felt the pleasure welling up in me. Lore held student conferences at her apartment near school. When it was my turn, we sat beside each other and she went page by page through my novel-in-progress manuscript. No one had ever before read my work so closely or seen anything special in me. And now came this extraordinary moment: my teacher was reading my words and laughing. 24. Why did the author delay calling Lore in 2024? A. Lore refused to meet him. B. He was fully occupied with work. C. He lost interest in meeting her. D. He worried she might forget him. 25. What do we know about Lore’s childhood? A. She travelled a lot alone. B. She weathered bitter blows. C. She lived in a fixed house. D. She taught writing in England. 26. What can we infer about Lore’s attitude towards writing? A. She thought short articles work best. B. She hated all daily scene descriptions. C. She ignored students’ writing faults. D. She prized plain and meaningful writing. 27. How did the author feel during one-on-one talks? A. Inspired and valued. B. Shy and awkward. C. Calm and indifferent. D. Nervous and uneasy. C Summer comes, and mosquitoes constantly buzz and bite, leaving red marks and ruining our sleep. To fight them, DEET (避蚊胺) is assumed to be the gold standard for preventing mosquito bites. Most researchers agree that a key part of its effectiveness is unpleasantness — the bugs just hate to be around it. However, some mosquitoes seem capable of overcoming their revulsion, leading to the theory that the insects might be getting used to the chemical. Claudio Lazzari at the University of Tours set out to investigate, by running a version of the experiments made famous by Ivan Pavlov in the late 1800s where dogs were conditioned to associate sounds with food. In those experiments, Pavlov routinely rang a signal bell and then immediately fed the dogs. Eventually, when he made the sounds but didn’t provide food, he found the animals still salivated (流口水), as they would before a meal. In his experiments, Dr Lazzari presented hungry mosquitoes with warm sheep’s blood while being exposed to a gentle breeze of ordinary air or of air blown past a piece of paper soaked in DEET. After many similar repeated experiments, the researchers then bravely presented their own hands to the insects. One hand was covered in DEET while the other was left untreated. To their frustration they watched as 60% of the mosquitoes that had been presented with blood while being exposed to DEET bit the hand coated in DEET. In contrast, all mosquitoes trained with ordinary air avoided it entirely. Dr Lazzari’s conditioning in the laboratory was important for the mosquitoes in developing their fondness for DEET. But the chances are good that a similar scene is taking place in the real world, where the effects of DEET typically weaken over time, especially when people are sweating or not applying enough of the stuff in the first place. In such circumstances, hungry mosquitoes are most likely to be able to tolerate the faint smell of DEET, bite a lightly protected person, begin connecting the smell with food and become more dangerous to those they encounter later in their lives. 28. What does the underlined word “revulsion” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Dislike. B. Fondness. C. Desire. D. Curiosity. 29. Why was Pavlov’s experiment mentioned? A. To prove DEET’s effect. B. To explain conditioning. C. To honor early biologists. D. To analyze animal behavior. 30. What can we learn about the research from paragraph 4? A. Sheep’s blood drove mosquitoes away. B. All mosquitoes weren’t thirsty for blood. C. Ordinary air fueled mosquitoes’ appetite. D. Most mosquitoes were conditioned to DEET. 31. Why does DEET sometimes fail to keep mosquitoes away? A. Sweat clears DEET completely. B. Mosquitoes associate it with food. C. Its smell grows stronger over time. D. Human blood weakens the chemical. D Traditionally, deep strategic analysis required extensive financial support and massive data teams, giving wealthy footballing nations a distinct advantage. Smaller countries with limited budgets could rarely afford dedicated data scientists or custom analytics software, creating an unfair gap in competitive preparation. This imbalance will be largely erased at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, thanks to a full set of artificial intelligence tools co-developed by FIFA and its official tech partner Lenovo. The core of this AI revolution is Football AI Pro, a generative AI platform open free of charge to all 48 competing teams across Canada, Mexico and the United States. Powered by Lenovo’s advanced AI technology and built on FIFA’s tailored Football Language model, the platform processes hundreds of millions of data points from every match. It turns complicated athletic statistics into easy-to-digest outputs: written strategic summaries, highlight video clips, interactive charts and dynamic 3D field visualizations. Supporting over 15 human languages, the AI assistant lets coaches type natural-language questions before kickoff to study opposing teams’ patterns, and after games to fix their own team’s weak spots. To protect independent human coaching judgment, FIFA has set a strict rule: Football AI Pro cannot be used during live match play. FIFA’s innovation team stresses that artificial intelligence acts only as an assistant, never a replacement for human skill, judgment or creativity. The software can process endless match data, but it cannot copy a coach’s intuition, a referee’s sense of fair play, or a player’s spontaneous in-game brilliance. Looking ahead, the 2026 World Cup serves as a global blueprint for how AI can make top sports more equal. For decades, cutting-edge sports technology was a luxury reserved for well-funded top leagues and wealthy national teams. This tournament proves that intelligent data tools can be shared universally, letting talent — not financial power — decide which teams advance in the world’s biggest football competition. 32. Why is the AI platform developed? A. To bridge the divide. B. To maximize profits. C. To encourage creativity. D. To gain global popularity. 33. What can be learned about Football AI Pro from paragraph 3? A. It dominates live matches. B. It sets limits on language. C. It simplifies complex data. D. It determines human judgement. 34. What does the last paragraph focus on? A. Limitations of AI platforms. B. Application of intelligent data tools. C. Prospect of top football teams. D. Significance of AI-based sports tech. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Football AI Pro: A Game Controller B. FIFA World Cup: A Highly Anticipated Event C. Football AI Pro: A Capable Assistant D. Football Language Model: A Charged Service 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It used to be simple: if you were stuck on homework, you went to a tutor or looked through a textbook. Today, many students admit their first instinct (本能) is to open short-video apps. 36 And here’s the catch: while short-form video makes information accessible, are students actually learning or just scrolling (滚屏)? Students aren’t choosing short videos to study by accident, it fits the way their brains are wired in today’s world. Studies suggest the average attention span has dropped to around 8-12 seconds. Quick videos match that rhythm. Instead of sitting through a 45-minute lecture, students can learn one concept or definition in a minute. Short videos also turn idle time, like waiting for the bus, into learning opportunities. 37 However, for every upside, there’s a hidden drawback that students often feel but don’t always recognize. Short videos sometimes oversimplify — students may remember a “fun fact” but struggle to apply it in problem-solving. Constant exposure to fast content trains the brain to expect stimulation, making complex reading or full lectures harder to sit through. 38 Students can end up overwhelmed, recalling bits of many topics but mastering none. Here’s where it gets tricky: Short-video platforms aren’t built for studying, they’re built for endless scrolling. That means students who go in looking for a “quick explainer” often end up an hour deep into unrelated content. 39 Students describe feeling “busy” while scrolling through study content, but later realize they didn’t remember much. 40 The reality is, it’s both. Short-form content is a tool, not a replacement. Students who use it as a supplement to traditional learning gain the best of both worlds: quick tips and deeper practice. Those who depend only on it often face burnout, divided attention, or surface-level understanding. A. So, is short-form video helping or hurting? B. This makes learning fit easily into daily life. C. Many creators make money by posting educational short clips. D. To them, such videos don’t just entertain but feel like learning. E. Short videos make students unable to finish homework within fixed time. F. Besides, too many short videos, brief as they are, can cause information overload. G. This unclear line between entertainment and education makes it harder to manage time. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My mother never calls from New York.

His parents were always occupied with work. They left home early in the morning and came back late at night. Tom often ate dinner alone and went to bed without a goodnight kiss. For him, there were no family games, no city tours, no weekend outings. One day, Tom’s parents brought home a gift — a smart watch. “This watch has a special friend inside,” Mom said with a smile. “Her name is Ling. She can talk to you, answer your questions, and even tell you stories.” A wave of anticipation swept over Tom as he put on the watch and pressed the button. A gentle voice came out, “Hello, Tom! I’m Ling. Nice to meet you!” Tom’s eyes lit up. He had never received such an interesting gift before. From that day on, Ling became Tom’s closest companion. Every morning, Ling would say, “Good morning, Tom! Have a great day at school!” Whenever Tom encountered difficulties with his homework, Ling would patiently provide thorough explanations. After Tom got into bed, Ling would tell his favorite tales about brave knights and magical lands. Sometimes, when Tom felt scared of the dark, Ling would sing softly to comfort him. To Tom, Ling was more than a voice; she was family. His parents noticed Tom’s change. “See? Our little boy seems much happier now,” Dad said one evening. Mom agreed, “The watch really helps,” relieved. They thought their son was no longer lonely. What they didn’t know was that sometimes, after Ling had finished her stories, Tom would lie awake in the darkness, listening to the silence that filled the room. He loved Ling, but he couldn’t help thinking: if only Mom and Dad were here. One afternoon after school, Tom tripped and fell on the way home. The watch hit a rock with a loud crack. When Tom picked it up, the screen was dark. He pressed the button again and again, but nothing appeared. “Ling? Ling, are you there?” he called desperately. There was no reply. 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。 Tom had no choice but to turn to his parents for help. __________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ At that moment, both Mom and Dad saw clearly what they had missed. ___________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
