Growing up in Campana, my father’s workshop felt like a magical world. The smell of metal, the sound of machines, and his work-worn clothes left a deep impression on me. It was there that I learned to turn discarded (丢弃的) car parts into toys that fueled my childhood adventures.
Now I’m a PE teacher. I’ve brought my childhood love of creating into the classroom by building metal models from discarded metal parts that show how the human body moves in sports — all without using electricity. These moving sculptures have become my teaching tools, capturing complex motions in slow, easy-to-see detail. Over time, my creations have grown: from a skateboard model to El Dibu Martinez’s famous World Cup save, from a metal rock band to a wheeled dinosaur. Each piece reflects the beauty of movement.
At school, I used to notice students always staring at their phones during breaks. But things changed when they became engaged with my projects. One memorable activity was when we made small boats from waste and tested whether they would float in water-filled containers. In that moment, the screens were forgotten, replaced by the excitement of discovery.
Another meaningful project came when a mother asked me to adapt a prosthetic (假体的) arm for her son Juan. Using just a simple plastic bucket, I created a working design. The moment Juan wore the arm, he began picking things up and handing them to me. We laughed together to celebrate the amazing moment.
To support these projects, my weekly routine now includes searching for materials in garbage dumps. With a limited budget, this is still necessary. But I see a bright side. We’re not only saving resources but also giving new life to discarded materials in creative ways.
The smell of metal still takes me back to my father’s workshop. What he gave me was more than skills — he taught me that nothing is useless until we stop imagining what it could become.

Today, it seems normal for children to play in playgrounds with adults watching over them. But a little over a century ago, childhood in America looked very different: children wandered the streets and fields freely, making up their own rules and settling their own conflicts with little adult involvement.
As industrialization and city growth sped up, however, the safety of children in crowded cities became a growing concern. The “playground movement” came into being. In 1885, Boston introduced the first “sand gardens” — special areas where children could play under adult watch. The idea spread quickly. By 1903, when New York City opened its first public playground, more than 2,000 children showed up on opening day.
Supporters held a core belief: “The playground of today is the republic(共和国) of tomorrow.” To them, with adults watching over and clear rules to follow, these spaces were more than just safe places; they were where children learned the discipline and cooperation that would serve them well as members of society.
Yet the movement carried a less visible cost. The playground drew a clear line on the map. Inside was safe, protected childhood; outside was danger and the disorderly adult world. The playground kept them safe, but it also separated them from the wider social world.
Once drawn, that line has never disappeared. Sociologists point out a central puzzle of modern childhood: we work harder than ever to protect children, yet we may be reducing the space they need to grow. As child development expert Lenore Skenazy puts it, it is through independent activity that children learn to assess risk, handle disagreements, and face troubles by themselves. As the boundaries of childhood grow tighter, we might ask: in protecting children from the unknown, are we also keeping them from growing up? Safety matters, but so does the chance to grow in the real world. The task, perhaps, is not to erase the line, but to learn where to draw it.
8. Which of the following best describes the childhood in America a century ago?
A. Risky and violent. B. Carefree and unhurried.
C. Wild but self-governing. D. Well-guided but restricted.
9. How did supporters view the playground movement?
A. It keeps the republic united. B. It eases the burden of parents.
C. It enriches children’s spare time. D. It helps develop children’s citizenship.
10. What can be inferred from Lenore Skenazy’s words?
A. Free-range children are neglected children.
B. Overprotected kids are underprepared kids.
C. A safe environment makes a happy childhood.
D. A child’s growth comes from a parent’s presence.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Great Revolution B. The Fenced-in Childhood
C. The Cost of Independent Play D. The Rise of Public Playgrounds
D
As global temperatures continue to rise, the demand for air conditioning is growing rapidly.
According to the International Energy Agency, traditional air conditioning uses about 20% of all electricity consumed by buildings worldwide, and most of this energy comes from fossil fuels. Clearly, our comfort is coming at too high a cost.
Interestingly, the solution might come from an unexpected source: termite mounds (白蚁丘). These structures, built by tiny insects using mud and plant fibers, are considered engineering wonders in nature. Even in hot and dry environments, termite mounds can remain relatively cool inside, with air circulating (循环) through their internal structures without any external power source.
But how do they achieve this? Scientists have long been puzzled by this question. To investigate, researchers David Andréen and Rupert Soar carried out a study. They proposed that slight changes in the airflow above the mound create uneven air movements inside it. These air movements, they believed, help drive air through the network and contribute to maintaining a suitable internal environment.
The team built simple 3D-printed models based on the narrow, interconnected channel networks found inside termite mounds. They also built a second set of models with straight channels of the same length. When the researchers applied gentle air movements to one end, air flowed through the branching network with significantly less resistance than through the straight channels, just as they had predicted. This suggested that it was the complex structure, rather than the total channel length, that improved airflow. By making air movement more efficient, the structure helps termite mounds regulate their internal conditions and remain comfortable living spaces even in extreme environments.
According to the researchers, this structure could be incorporated into building walls in the future. Unlike traditional air conditioning, which relies on fans and consumes large amounts of energy, this system would require only tiny amounts of power to control airflow. “This might be groundbreaking,” said Andréen. “For the first time, we may be able to design buildings that breathe like living organisms rather than function like machines. The potential is enormous if we continue to explore what nature has to offer.”
12. What phenomenon is described in paragraph 1?
A. The inefficient use of electricity. B. The heavy dependence on fossil fuels.
C. The growing impact of climate change. D. The unsustainability of traditional cooling.
13. Why are termite mounds described as “engineering wonders”?
A. They can stay naturally cool. B. They are built by tiny insects.
C. They have power sources inside. D. They are made of renewable materials.
14. Why did the team build straight-channel models?
A. To measure the speed of airflow.
B. To reduce the resistance of channels.
C. To observe how air traveled through channels.
D. To test whether the structure influenced airflow.
15. What does the underlined phrase “breathe like living organisms” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Function effectively with sufficient energy.
B. Provide fresh air through electronic controls.
C. Circulate automatically by built-in structures.
D. Adjust airflow by energy-efficient machines.

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。
Many people worry that AI will take away human jobs. However, this fear misses a more important issue. The real problem is not AI itself, but our obsession with immediate results, a problem that AI is now making worse.
16 What can be measured is prioritized, while what takes time is ignored. As a result, we lose sight of the deeper purpose of work and the value of human judgment.
Consider how this plays out in the natural world. Trees that last for centuries grow slowly, develop deep roots, and rely on strong connections. 17 In contrast, fast-growing trees focus on quick height gain, but develop weak wood and shallow roots. When storms come, they fall first.
Human work follows the same principle. But in the age of AI, something even more troubling emerges: we are losing the space to make mistakes. When an AI tool provides an instant answer, we skip the struggle of trial and error, slow reflection and learning from failure. Yet it is through this very struggle, with all its confusion and uncertainty, that we learn, fail, and rise again. 18
Choosing to slow down, keeping people involved, and valuing judgment over speed are not weaknesses. 19 They allow us to reflect and keep our human abilities, even in an age dominated by efficiency.
Every generation faces a similar moment: the printing press, the train, and the assembly line (流水线). 20 Yet beneath the surface, they raise the same questions for every era: are we being shaped by our tools, or are we choosing what truly matters? The real question has never been whether technology will replace us, but whether we can return to what truly matters. We are not our tools. We never have been.
A. But this time, things are totally different.
B. Real learning rarely happens without pain.
C. Instead, they are deliberate acts of wisdom.
D. Each innovation brought excitement and fear.
E. This slow, quiet growth gives them lasting power.
F. This painful mess makes us less efficient but more human.
G. Efficiency has long been crowding out what truly matters.

Say No to Seat Saving, Make Room for Everyone
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。
Mum and Matt lived in the country next to a forest. Every weekend, they took walks through the forest.
But everything changed after Mum found a new job in the city. They said goodbye to the trees and birds and moved to an apartment far from nature. They went to the park, but there were lots of people. It was hard to hear the birds when everybody was talking and laughing. Matt missed the peaceful countryside badly and could never feel at home in the busy city.
One afternoon, there was a knock on their door. It was Mrs. Potter, their elderly neighbour. She was holding a large, potted tree. “I’m trying to bring this bonsai home, but it’s too heavy for me,” said Mrs. Potter with a warm smile.
“Of course we can help,” Mum replied right away.
“It’s lovely,” said Matt, looking at it with admiration. “It reminds me of the forest back home.”
When Mrs. Potter opened the door to her apartment, Matt was surprised. It wasn’t a typical apartment at all. It was a tiny hidden forest! Dozens of trees sat in various pots, their green branches filling every corner with the calmness of wild woods. As Mum set down the bonsai, Matt immediately spotted a tiny bud (花蕾) on the smallest bonsai. Growing up around wild plants, Matt knew this bud would not bloom (开花) right away. It would need days of steady care. Still, it held new life, growing quietly in the city.
“We can still keep trees around us even in the city,” Mum told him softly. “These potted greens are smaller, but they bring the same comfort as the forest trees you loved.”
Mrs. Potter nodded in agreement. “Exactly, Matt. Nature has a way of finding us, wherever we are. Big trees grow in open forests, and little trees live in small pots, but both can bring peace to our hearts. I believe you will find your own joy here.”
Matt looked around the tiny forest and felt something shift inside him, a feeling he couldn’t quite name, but it made him feel less like a visitor.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

“Why don’t you choose one bonsai to take home?” Mrs. Potter suggested.
Days later, Matt knocked on Mrs. Potter’s door and called, “The bud bloomed!”

Say No to Seat Saving, Make Room for Everyone
Recently, seat saving has become a common problem in our school library. Some students leave their books or personal belongings on desks for a long time while they are away, making it difficult for others to find a place to study.
In my opinion, seat saving should be discouraged because it affects both fairness and campus responsibility. First, library seats are public resources that should be shared equally. During exam periods, many students have to spend extra time searching for seats while some desks remain unused. Moreover, the way we use shared spaces reflects our sense of responsibility. Respecting others means considering their needs as well.
Therefore, I call on all students to use library resources properly. Let us create a fairer and more comfortable learning environment together.
47.读后续写
“Why don’t you choose one bonsai to take home?” Mrs. Potter suggested. Without thinking twice, Matt walked straight to the smallest bonsai with the tiny bud he had noticed before. “I’d like this one,” he said with a smile. Mrs. Potter carefully placed it in his hands and reminded him that good things took time and patient care. From then on, watering the bonsai became part of Matt’s daily routine. Every morning, he checked the little bud before leaving for school, and every evening, he quietly watched it by the window. Day by day, as the tiny plant grew stronger, the city around him seemed a little warmer, and he no longer missed the countryside quite as much.
Days later, Matt knocked on Mrs. Potter’s door and called, “The bud bloomed!” The door opened quickly, and Mrs. Potter greeted him with a gentle smile. Holding the bonsai carefully, Matt proudly showed her the tiny flower. He excitedly told her how he had moved it to catch more sunlight and watered it with patience every day. “You made this happen, Matt,” Mrs. Potter said warmly. “You brought a little piece of nature into your home, and its roots have quietly reached your heart.” At those words, Matt suddenly realized that the peace of nature was never limited to the distant forest. It could also be found in a tiny bonsai growing quietly in a city apartment. Looking at the little flower, he felt warmth spread through him, and for the first time since moving, he truly belonged.
