practiced countless times before.The crowd exploded
into cheers as I finished,bringing me back into the
world.I tried to compose myself,appreciating others'
performances.
When the medals were awarded,I found myself
on the top step beyond expectation.Words couldn't
describe the overwhelming mixture of emotions I felt.
Hugging my fellow contestants,I felt relieved that all
my hard work had paid off.My parents and coach
waved wildly and attempted to contain their
excitement,but the glittering tears failed them.It was
only when my national flag rose to the top accompanied
by the national anthem that I found my vision blurred
by tears.Then I truly understood that what matters
most in achieving a dream is to strive hard to make it
come true despite any challenges one faces,instead of
abandoning it easily.

Test A
l.B根据第一段中“But what if we told you that
hibernation for space travel is more likely to happen
than the romantic story between Jim and Aurora?"
可知,作者认为冬眠技术比电影里的浪漫故事更有可
能实现,引出“用于太空旅行的冬眠技术”这一话题,
因此作者提到电影是为了介绍一种长途太空飞行的
新方法。故选B。
2.D根据第三段中“Thus,hibernation can
significantly cut down on their essential needs.
Additionally,hibernating astronauts wouldn't get
bored,stressed,or lonely,and less time and space
would be needed to help keep them fit or
entertained..”可知,冬眠的宇航员基本需求会显著
减少,也不会感到无聊、有压力或孤独,用于保持健
康和娱乐的时间和空间也更少,说明他们的身体和
心理需求都被降到了最低。故选D。
3.A画线词上文指出航天机构正在研究降低体温随
后诱导代谢是否更可行,而多数研究项目聚焦于动
物;结合画线词下文“And this is why the research on
rats,not naturally hibernating animals,is
interesting..”可知,画线词所在句问的是“我们如何让
那些通常不冬眠的物种进入冬眠状态”,因此可猜测
画线词evoke为“唤起,引起”的意思,和initiate“发
起,启动”意思相近。故选A。
4.C根据最后一段中“However,without such
dreamers,humanity would still be in the Middle
Ages.”可知,作者认为如果没有这样的梦想家,人类
可能还处于中世纪。由此可推知,作者认为冬眠技
术能推动社会进步。故选C。
Test B
l.D上文“When screens are in use,either by a parent
or a child,there is less talking,teaching and reading

逻辑。故选D。
2.F上文“What's more,when kids watch screens
with their parents,the study found it doesn't help
their language skills..”提到研究发现,孩子与父母一
起看屏幕内容对他们的语言技能并没有帮助。F项
补充了相关研究结果,强化了上文的观点。故选F。
3.A上文“The study suggests parents should try not
to spend too much time on devices when they are
with their children..”建议父母尽量减少在孩子面前
使用手机的时间。A项进一步强化这一建议。故
选A。
4.E上文“We live in a world where everything seems
urgent but usually actually isn't.”提到我们生活在
一个一切都显得紧迫的世界里,但实际上往往并非如
此。E项指出不必要求自己立即回复所有的事。下

extra time reading together or in a no-phone zone
like the dinner table.By caring about your kid's
development and looking into tips like these,you are
already doing a great job.”提出修复父母的习惯的具
体建议,G选项承接下文,提出了一个观点,即父母不

I am writing to share with you the English speech
competition I participated in last Friday.It turned out
to be a truly inspiring experience.
This speech competition was themed "Adversity
and Courage".Adversities are inevitable in life,but
courage helps us overcome them.In my speech,I
shared a story about Helen Keller,who overcame
enormous physical challenges to be an inspiration to
millions.Facing deafness and blindness,she
demonstrated extraordinary perseverance,proving that
it's courage,not luck,that shapes our destiny.
The audience seemed moved,and I felt proud to
deliver my speech.I realized adversities are not barriers
but stepping stones.I'm grateful for the opportunity
and would love to hear your thoughts.
Yours,

1.A第一段先描述了在屏幕主导的世界里,手写逐渐
被打宇取代,很多学校在幼儿园时期就引入了计算
机,这意味着一些孩子可能先学打字后学手写,接着
指出“Although electronic keyboards offer obvious
efficiency benefits,giving up handwriting may come
at a significant cost..”,即尽管电子键盘具有明显的
效率优势,但放弃手写可能会付出巨大的代价。由此
可知,作者在第一段想要表达放弃手写是不明智的。
2.D画线词所在句前面的内容讲的是:手写是一项复
杂的任务,运动系统必须精细地调整每个手指在笔上
施加的压力,以重现每个字母;更复杂的是,你的视觉
系统必须在宇母形成的过程中不断地处理它,同时你
的大脑要实时地对手指进行调整,以形成宇母的形
状。由此可知,此处强调在手写的过程中,你的身体
和你所看见的东西会相互协调,故画线词与D项的
意思最为接近。
3.C根据第三段的“On the other hand,taking notes
by hand forces them to write only key words and use
drawings or arrows to work through ideas.”可知,手
写笔记迫使人们只写关键词,使用图画或箭头来梳理
想法,这说明手写标记有助于将想法联系起来。
4.C根据最后一段的内容可知,作者认为人们不必放
弃数宇工具来利用手写的力量,最近的研究表明,在
屏幕上书写会激活与在纸上书写相同的大脑神经通
路,重要的是书写的动作,而不是最终的形式。由此
可推知,作者对使用数字笔书写持支持的态度。
Test B
1.G设空处位于首段结尾,需承前启后。前文提到此

此行意义并引出后文。故选G。

E项概括本段内容,且“Joining the locals”与后文
“joined in'”形成呼应。故选E。卓尔英语

Test A阅读理解
In the movie Passengers,characters Jim
Preston and Aurora Lane are on a 120-year
interstellar journey with other people.Their
destination:HomesteadⅡ,a new world to start
their lives anew.To survive the travel,passengers
entered hibernation(冬眼),each one frozen in
their own pod.However,something wen't
wrong and Jim and Aurora wake up 90 years too
early.But what if we told you that hibernation
for space travel is more likely to happen than the
romantic story between Jim and Aurora?
Hibernation is a state in which living
organisms slow down their metabolic(新陈代谢
)processes while maintaining essential functions.
Once inside these pods,astronauts will get drugs
to adjust metabolism,reduce core temperature,
and cause inactivity.Once back on Earth,they
will wake up and gradually readapt to their
normal functional metabolism,
For going to Mars,astronauts would require
about 30 kg of food,water,air,and other supplies
per day.Thus,hibernation can significantly cut
down on their essential needs.Additionally,
hibernating astronauts wouldn't get bored,
stressed,or lonely,and less time and space
would be needed to help keep them fit or
entertained.
But this is merely the theory.Space agencies are
investigating whether reducing body temperature and
later inducing(导致)metabolism is a more
practical option,while,most research projects
are currently focusing on animals.The question
is:how can weevoke hibernation in species that
do not normally hibemate?And this is why the
research on rats,not naturally hibernating
animals,is interesting.Research on bears is also
important since their body size is more relatable
to ours.

The concept is not being considered for the
forthcoming Mars mission,but for longer
missions to farther destinations such as the outer
planets,it could be a very useful technology.
Hibernation for humans is an ethically controversial
concept,and critics may consider it a mad
scientist's dream.However,without such dreamers,
humanity would still be in the Middle Ages.
1.Why does the author mention the movie Passengers?
A.To advertise a popular sci-fi space movie.
B.To introduce a new approach to long
spaceflights.
C.To explore the possibility of settling another
planet.
D.To reveal the potential dangers of long
space travel.
2.What happens to hibernating astronauts?
A.Their functional metabolism is disturbed.
B.They need more time and space for
entertainment.
C.They lose the balance between basic needs and
supplies.
D.Their physical and mental needs are reduced
to a minimum.
3.What does the underlined word“evoke”in
Paragraph 4 mean?

C.Define.
D.Prioritize.
4.What does the author think of hibernation for
humans?

When parents are on their phones a lot,
what will happen to their kids?Parents who

they could be preventing their children's
language development,a new study found.
Parents who use screens more have children
who use screens more.And those children have
a lower talent in grammar and vocabulary.When
screens are in use,either by a parent or a child,
there is less talking,teaching and reading in
households.1
What's more,when kids watch screens
with their parents,the study found it doesn't
help their language skills.2 For example,
kids aged 24 to 30 months learn new verbs when
they are taught through in-person interaction or
even video chat,but not by watching a video,
according to a September 2023 study.
The study suggests parents should try not
to spend too much time on devices when they
are with their children.3 If keeping your
phone out of sight and out of mind seems really
hard,try to spare a few minutes a day-start
with just 15 minutes.It helps model good
practices for your kids.
Parents are also advised to re-evaluate
whether they need to be responsive to everything
that comes through on their phones in real time.
We live in a world where everything seems
urgent but usually actually isn't.4 It's
simply not possible.
5 It's never too late to repair.Spend
some extra time reading together or in a no-
phone zone like the dinner table.By caring about
your kid's development and looking into tips
like these,you are already doing a great job.
A.We don't actually need our phones all
the time.
B.It is an easy way to calm children down
or occupy them.
C.Avoid checking your phone instead of
hanging out with your friends.
D.And this may be a reason for the lower
grammar skills and vocabulary.
E.Try not to put pressure on yourself to
respond immediately to everything.
F.Another study also suggests younger
children don't learn well from screens.

Every year on March 14,students around
the world put down their textbooks and pick up
slices of pie to celebrate a unique and delicious
holiday-Pi(π)Day.
Thinking of the first3 digits(数位)ofpi
(3.14),you can quickly work out 1 March
14 was chosen as the date for Pi Day.In 2019,
UNESCO set the day as the International Day of
Mathematics to celebrate the beauty of math and
stress the essential role it plays in all aspects of
our lives.
Pi Day was first celebrated in the US in
1988 at San Francisco's Exploratorium,a
museum of science and technology which 2
(encourage)visitors to be hands-on.During the
first celebration,Exploratorium's employees
marched around one of the circular 3
(space)of the museum because pi is the ratio of
a circle's circumference (to its diameter.
As a celebration of the mathematical
constant pi,Pi Day in China is to honor Zu
Chongzhi (429 CE-500 CE),a Chinese

mathematician who calculated pi as being 4
3.1415926 and 3.1415927,a record in accuracy
5 was not surpassed for over 800 years.
Pi Day is celebrated in 6 (variety)ways
across the world.In the US,schools usually hold
activities related to pie,such as pie-eating
contests or 7 (simple)throwing pie toward
each other."In Germany,the celebration of Pi
Day takes on a cultural twist,"said a 15-year-
old German girl.Schools inspire students 8
(express)their artistic side through pi-related
art displays.These range from pi-inspired paintings
to mathematical sculptures,training creativity
within the field of mathematics.She even built a

each digit of pi.
So,this year's Pi Day was no different.Pies
10 (eat)up and numbers rolled as students
across the globe came together yet again to
honor the charm of pi and math as a whole.
