It challenges participants, both individually and in teams, to solve linguistic (语言学的) puzzles. To compete at the IOL, no special knowledge is required, only basic language concepts, logic, patience, and creative thinking. Try this beginner sample to see if the IOL is right for you. A Puzzle The names of some South American countries are written in Georgian (格鲁吉亚语) with their English translations: Brazil Peru Uruguay Q: What is the English name of this country “”? The Solution ●The Georgian forms of “Peru” and “Uruguay” have the same number of letters as their English names, showing a direct letter match. ●The repeated U in “Uruguay” further confirms Georgian is written left-to-right. ●“Brazil” has fewer letters than the Georgian version, but thanks to the two other names, we already know: → R, → A, → G, → E. ●With these letters, the pattern can be translated as “A R G E _ _ _ _ A,” which is “Argentina.” Contest Rules ●Each individual contestant or team must choose a working language for their problems and solutions, a choice that cannot be changed less than two weeks before the Olympiad begins. ●The individual contest involves solving five problems in six hours, whereas the team contest features one problem with two hours less. ●Unless instructed, giving multiple answers will receive zero marks. Besides, a detailed explanation is required for each answer; failure to provide one will result in a lower score. Awards The team contest will award up to one gold, two silver, and three bronze medals. In the individual contest, the number of gold, silver, and bronze medals awarded shall be in the ratio 1: 2: 3, with the total number of medals being between one quarter and one third of the contestants. Click here to find out other awards. 1. Which is essential to solve the sample puzzle? A. Linguistic fluency. B. Reasoning ability. C. Geographic knowledge. D. Mathematical calculation. 2. What is different about the rules for the individual and team contest? A. The duration of the competition. B. The deadline for language choice. C. The result of giving multiple answers. D. The requirement for answer explanations. 3. If there are 240 individual contestants, how many medals could be awarded in total? A. 40. B. 54. C. 72. D. 84. B This summer I came face-to-face with three deep-rooted fears: heights, bears, and ageing. Two friends joined me on a four-day wilderness getaway, and since we were all in our seventies, we decided we’d better go while we still could. Our adventure began with a scary drive up a winding mountain road. On one hike, I found myself hanging onto a wire on a bridge made of two partly rotten (腐烂的) logs, suspended high above rushing rapids. I would never have attempted it without our guide ahead, mouthing encouraging words. Fixing my eyes on her boots, I inched along the shaky logs. Somehow, I made it across, flooded with a rush of intense excitement and huge relief. Later, after spotting bear tracks, we were told to make loud noises, which soon became a game once the tension faded. Until suddenly, time stood still. We had just crossed a stream when the guide whispered, “There’s a bear.” I looked up in disbelief and saw not one, but two, about ten meters above us — the brown mother in front, her cub behind. Though scared speechless, I couldn’t help noticing how beautiful they looked in their natural setting. I wondered if it would be my last memory. As they started towards us, we recovered enough to shout and wave our hiking poles. Taken aback, they stopped, and then slowly turned away. Another fear was overcome! On our final morning, after a quiet, thoughtful walk through the forest, we were asked to bring back a “meaningful” stick, rock, and leaf to share what would “stick” with us, what “rocked,” and what we would “leaf” behind. The bond of friendship would stick with me. Women supporting one another truly rocked. And I hoped to leave some fears behind. Our guide ended by expressing her admiration, praising not only our fitness but also our positive attitude, and saying she hoped to be like us in another thirty or forty years. Those unexpected words warmed my heart and eased my fear of being “over the hill”. Being valued for what we had accomplished felt like winning an Olympic medal — even if just for participation. 4. How did the author cross the bridge? A. By taking mindful steps. B. By rushing across it bravely. C. By using her sense of direction. D. By having the guide drag her over. 5. Why did the bears leave? A. They were attracted by the natural setting. B. They were afraid of the noise of the rapids. C. They were surprised at the group’s actions. D. They were threatened by the guide’s rocks. 6. Why did the guide ask them for a stick, rock, and leaf? A. To pick up some souvenirs. B. To reflect on the journey. C. To symbolize their teamwork. D. To check their observation skills. 7. What does the underlined phrase “over the hill” in the last paragraph mean? A. Past the peak of youth B. Too high to go down. C. Out of place in society D. Beyond physical limits. C Whether you prefer WeChat, Twitter, or Facebook, your social media profile is sending a silent message about who you are. While these platforms are great for connecting, it is easy to accidentally come across as conceited (自负的), angry, or shallow. Psychologists suggest that our online behaviour reveals our true values and personality to the digital world. Take selfies for example. It is perfectly appropriate to have a picture of yourself as your profile photo. However, if almost every picture you post is just of you looking pretty, you are likely to leave the impression that you are full of yourself. Psychologist Sarah Schewitz points out that there is much more to a person than just a pretty face, and users should show other meaningful aspects of their lives. Furthermore, your online tone matters. Some people use social media to complain about their daily struggles or engage in angry debates. Constantly posting negative thoughts tells the world that you are not a happy person. Instead of adding negativity to the internet, it is highly recommended to focus on the positive sides of life. On the other hand, painting an unrealistically perfect picture of your life can also be problematic. Many people only post their amazing achievements, making their lives seem perfect. This often makes friends feel stressed. Psychologists remind us that everyone faces challenges, and sharing the reality of life, rather than just the highlights, makes you more relatable. If you want to make sure your posts reflect who you are, a good guideline, according to Schewitz, is to take a breath before clicking. “Before posting something, ask yourself: Is this going to add positivity to the world or take away from it? If the answer is the latter, don’t post it. There’s enough negativity out there without you sharing how terrible your day was. If you need support, call a friend, don’t subject the whole world to your complaints,” Schewitz suggests. 8. What does the author point out in paragraph 1? A. Online acts reflect inner qualities. B. Social content is shallow. C. Users hide their true characters. D. Chats bring misunderstanding. 9. What can be inferred about the perfect selfies on platforms? A. They build your confidence. B. They create a self-centered image. C. They make you better understood. D. They illustrate your meaningful sides. 10. What does the author suggest about posting on social media? A. Express your emotions freely. B. Keep your personal life private. C. Show positivity along with real life. D. Avoid sharing achievements with friends. 11. What is the best title of the text? A. What You Post Says About You B. The Secret of Taking Perfect Selfies C. How to Hide Your True Self Online D. Mind Your Manners on Social Media D Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are indicating that accurate quake forecasting may be attainable, thereby casting doubt on the conventional wisdom that such an accomplishment is beyond our capabilities. Researchers at the University of Texas, Austin, created an AI model that, during a test run in China, correctly forecasted approximately 70 percent of earthquakes with a one-week warning and offered reliable assessments of their potential intensity. The researchers attribute their technique’s effectiveness to its reliance on a straightforward machine learning framework. The AI was provided with a set of statistical features based on the team’s knowledge of earthquake physics, and then instructed to train itself using a five-year database of earthquake recordings. Once trained, the AI offered predictions by detecting early indicators of quakes hidden within the planet’s low-frequency rumbles (隆隆声). The project marks a substantial breakthrough in the exploration of AI for anticipating seismic (地震) events. According to Alexandros Savvaidis, a senior researcher heading the Texas Seismological Network, “Seismic occurrences strike without warning, often in the blink of an eye. Your readiness is all you can influence. Achieving a 70% prediction rate is a considerable achievement that could significantly restrict the impact of earthquakes, reducing both the financial burden and loss of life, and the potential to remarkably improve earthquake preparation worldwide.” Although the effectiveness of this method in different regions remains uncertain, the researchers believe that their AI model has the potential to enhance prediction accuracy when carried out in regions equipped with dependable seismic monitoring facilities. Their next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, where the University of Texas’s TexNet operates a network of 300 earthquake stations and over six years’ worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes. Ultimately, the authors aim to combine the system with physics-based models. This approach could be particularly valuable in areas characterized by limited or inadequate data. “That may be a long way off, but many advances such as this one, taken together, are what moves science forward,” concludes Scott Tinker, the bureau’s director. 32. How does the AI predict seismic events? A. It identifies data from the satellites. B. It analyzes background sounds in the Earth. C. It models data based on earthquake recordings. D. It monitors changes in the Earth’s magnetic field. 33. What does Alexandros Savvaidis intend to show in paragraph 3? A. The ways to reduce losses in earthquakes. B. The importance of preparing for earthquakes. C. The significance of developing the AI prediction. D. The restrictions of AI-based methods in earthquake prediction. 34. What does the subsequent research focus on? A. Conducting tests in different locations. B. Applying the AI approach to other fields. C. Building more earthquake stations in Texas. D. Enlarging the database to train the calculation accuracy. 35. Which words can best describe the earthquake-predicting technology? A. Stable but outdated B. Effective but costly. C. Potential and economical D. Pioneering and promising. 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。 Feeling stuck in the same old routine makes life feel rather dull — but adding some excitement doesn’t have to involve massive changes. Rather, making small changes could turn your ordinary days into something special. 16 Here are some creative ideas to integrate a little adventure into your daily life. Break your routine with a morning walk. Rather than going through the same motions each morning, you could try starting your day with a walk outside. 17 It’ll clear your mind and set a positive tone for everything that follows during the day. Start a random conversation. Connecting with other people is the best way to bring some joy to your day and you should try to strike up a chat with someone you cross paths with. This could be a neighbor you’ve never spoken to or a colleague from another department — either way, you’ll probably hear some interesting stories and find common interests you didn’t expect. 18 Set a weekly challenge for yourself. Giving yourself a small goal each week will make your life more engaging and that’s why you should try something new, like reading a book from a genre you usually avoid. 19 Achieving these personal challenges will give you a sense of accomplishment to keep things interesting. 20 Sign up for one that you wouldn’t normally consider, such as glassblowing or aerial yoga. Trying something completely new is a guaranteed way to feel a little more excited! Just remember that you’re not trying to be perfect, but rather, simply enjoy the novelty of the experience. A. Set yourself a higher goal. B. We’ve got just the list to do that! C. You could also try to follow a difficult recipe. D. Making such a simple change will energize you. E. Book a last-minute class in something unexpected. F. Discovering new places makes each day more exciting. G. Opening up to new people will make every day more meaningful. 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。 Every morning, Kofi woke up with a quiet sigh.

At its heart is the morin khuur, or horse-headed fiddle, a two-stringed instrument 56 (name) after the carved horse head atop its neck. The sound of the morin khuur is one of a kind. It can be as soft as a gentle whisper or as grand as a rolling thunderstorm. Legend has 57 that the instrument was crafted by a herder who grieved deeply for his beloved horse and made the fiddle in its memory. Since then, the morin khuur has remained a 58 (faith) companion to the Mongolian people. What makes the morin khuur truly special, however, is its 59 (present) in everyday life. It blesses newlyweds at wedding ceremonies and fuels the passion of dancers and wrestlers at traditional festivals. On quiet evenings, herders play the fiddle by campfires, 60 (tell) tales of heroic ancestors through every single note. 61 urbanization and technological change, the morin khuur has never faded in charm. In 2017, the instrument 62 (introduce) to classrooms across Inner Mongolia, enabling urban children to stay connected with their cultural roots. Today, it is not 63 (common) to see the morin khuur performed in symphony halls alongside Western orchestras, 64 forms a cultural dialogue between East and West. The morin khuur is far more than a musical instrument. To listen to its melody is to feel the enduring heartbeat of 65 centuries-old grassland culture. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 假设你是红星中学高三学生李华。你们学校上个月开展了“当运动遇见AI”（When Sports Meet AI）的主题活动，你的外国好友Jim对此很感兴趣，发来邮件询问有关情况。请你用英文给他回复，内容包括： 1．活动内容；2．你的收获。 注意： 1．词数100左右；2．开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 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。 It was an ordinary Sunday morning. The sun was coming out from the clouds, casting a warm light over the park. Amy was running along the winding path, her feet hitting the ground in a steady rhythm. She loves running because she believes that after a tough week at work, it could not only exercise her body but also free her mind from stress and exhaustion. Every Sunday, the park was alive with activities. Children were chasing each other on the grass. Elderly people were practicing tai chi in slow, graceful movements. Young couples were walking hand in hand by the lake. Amy breathed deeply, taking in the fresh smell of flowers. Her steps felt light and her heart was at peace. Everything felt perfect. Suddenly, a sharp cry cut through the morning calm. Amy slowed down and saw a crowd gathering near the fountain, their faces filled with panic. She ran toward them, pushing through the circle of people. An old woman was lying on the ground, her face pale and her lips slightly purple. Beside her, another elderly woman was shouting, “She’s having a heart attack! Please help her!” People stood frozen, some dialing emergency numbers, but no one gave her a hand. Amy’s mind raced. Her friend Harriet, a nurse at the city hospital, had once asked her to attend a public welfare activity for CPR (心肺复苏) training in her community three months ago. She remembered rolling her eyes at the practice dummy (假人), whispering to Harriet that she would never need such boring knowledge. Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined facing a real emergency like this. At that time, she was more interested in the small gifts provided than the training itself. Now, staring at the struggling woman, whose breath grew weaker and eyes began to roll back, Amy knew she was the only hope. Taking a deep breath, she forced her shaking legs to move forward, her heart beating wildly as if jumping out of her chest, and explained that she had learned CPR. 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。 “Let me try,” Amy placed her hands on the old woman’s chest. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ As Amy’s strength was fading, she noticed the ambulance arriving. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 英语参考答案 一、听力（每小题1.5分，满分30分） 1-5 CAACC 6-10 BACBB 11-15 CABCB 16-20 ACBAB 二、阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节：（每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 21-23 BAC 24-27 ACBA 28-31 ABCA 32-35 BCAD 第二节：（每小题2.5分，满分12.5分 36-40 BDGCE 三、语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节：完形填空（每小题1分，满分15分） 41-45 DCACA 46-50 BADCB 51-55 DCADB 第二节：短文填空（每小题1.5分，满分15分） 56. named 57. it 58. faithful 59. presence 60. telling 61.

It was a truly eye-opening experience that showed me how technology is revolutionizing the world of sports. We got hands-on experience with AI-powered fitness devices that analyzed our basketball shots in real time and gave personalized tips to improve our accuracy. We also attended an engaging lecture on how AI helps professional athletes optimize their training and avoid career-threatening injuries. For me, this activity completely transformed my perception of artificial intelligence. I used to associate AI with science fiction, but now I see it as a practical tool that can enhance every aspect of our daily lives, even something as simple as playing sports. Yours, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） 【答案】范文： “Let me try,” Amy placed her hands on the old woman’s chest. She tried her best to recall every step of CPR she had learned in the training, pressing down on the chest steadily with the correct strength and rhythm. After several cycles, Amy bent down to give rescue breaths. Sweat ran down her face, but she didn’t stop. The crowd held their breath and watched silently, their anxious eyes fixed on the pale face beneath her. After what felt like forever, the old woman coughed weakly, and Amy’s heart leaped with hope. Just then, a sound of an ambulance grew louder. As Amy’s strength was fading, she noticed the ambulance arriving. The paramedics rushed to the old woman and took over the rescue work. Amy stepped back, her legs worn out, but she kept her eyes on the old woman. Within minutes, the woman’s color slowly returned, and she began to breathe steadily. A medic patted Amy’s shoulder and said, “You saved her.” All the people around broke into cheers. At that moment, Amy realized every small skill we learn, even if we think it useless at first, can be a bright light to pull others out of danger one day. 听力原文 1．【原文】W: How are you going to Chicago?

Your computer system says it is available, but I can’t find it on the shelf. Does that mean that another customer has bought the last copy? W: It might, but it could also mean that someone has just put it back in the wrong location. If that’s the case, it’s probably in the same general area. Would you like me to help you look? M: That would be great, thanks. I’ve registered to take a Breckler certification test next month. I’m really hoping to pick it up today and start studying. 听第7段录音，回答第8-10题。 【原文】M: Hey, have you been to the city observatory? W: Not yet.

M: I couldn’t agree more. Here’s to a restful summer and a more fulfilling next term. 听第10段录音，回答第18-20题。 【原文】W: My lecture today is on motivation at work. We all know that every member has needs or expectations when working, and these needs or expectations will affect each person’s behavior. For example, they will work harder if they know that they will be rewarded. That is, if they can achieve their goals of higher pay or promotion. The achievement of these goals will, in turn, lead to job satisfaction. In the 19th century, Frederick Taylor put forward the theory that workers were only interested in making money. One important 20th century theory of motivation was put forward by Maslow in 1943. Maslow classified five important needs. At the bottom, he put what he called basic needs, good pay and pleasant working conditions. Then he put security needs, safe working conditions and job security. His third need he called social, the need to have friends at work and get on with the boss. Fourth were status needs, a job title and social recognition. Finally, he put the need for advancement to have a challenging job with opportunities for promotion. His theory isn’t perfect, but it’s still acceptable today. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
