When I cross the threshold of the gym, no matter how much stress I might be feeling, my mind clears and I forget my life. I think of nothing but what I am doing. When I was 9, I went every Saturday to a gymnastic academy. The coach had gray hair and wore ballet shoes and had boundless enthusiasm. He would say, “You are going to be a gymnast.” And I believed him. I vividly remember the first time I did a round off back handspring by myself, the weightlessness of it. I lived for Saturday mornings. I only ever did gymnastics recreationally — I didn’t even know real gyms existed — but I always loved it. That long dormant love came roaring back in my forties. It happened in an instant, at parents’ day for my daughter’s beginning gymnastics class. The bars were just sitting there, and I had this overwhelming urge to grab hold and swing. But I couldn’t make it through the warm up at the first adult class I went. I felt bad during conditioning. I was the oldest person there. But that spark of memory glowed with possibility. I went back to class again, and again. It was hard and it was humbling. But soon I was doing back handsprings like I used to. There is nothing like the thrill of getting a new skill. There is an ineffable element, too, something like faith. By the time we reach middle age, most of us have had to deal with our fair share of unwelcome surprises, like illness, family crisis or the death of a beloved parent. But gymnastics has brought the most delightful surprises — I keep getting better, going beyond what I thought was impossible, amazing myself by what I can do. I’m in the best shape of my life. I’m a better gymnast now than I was at 16. 24. What do we know about the author from the first paragraph? A. Competitive. B. Considerate. C. Humble D. Passionate. 25. Why did the author have gymnastic classes when she was young? A. Her Saturday morning routines. B. Her coach’s boundless enthusiasm. C. Doing gymnastics recreationally. D. Getting pleasure from gymnastics. 26. What made the author go back to gymnastic classes in her forties? A. Achieving success at adult classes. B. Her sweet memory of doing gymnastics. C. Shouldering her duty as a parent. D. The strong urge to grab hold and swing. 27. What is the writer’s intention in writing this passage? A. To inspire people to surpass their limits. B. To explain the way to be a good gymnast. C. To reflect on her strengths and weaknesses. D. To help the readers to discover their potentials. C Frightening as monsters are, they have always fascinated us. From strange combinations of animals to magical beings, creatures have emerged from our imaginations throughout history. Today, they still frequent our cinema screens. Considering how scared we can be of monsters, it seems paradoxical that we keep making them. In fact, there is science behind our love of monsters. Monsters are imaginary creatures that come from our long history of living alongside predators (捕食者). Snakes, for example, were among our ancestors’ first deadly threats, causing them to evolve snake-responsive neurons (神经元) in their brains. This adaptation allowed them to detect snakes with just a quick look. This hardware produced the snake-like monsters, including dragons, that appear in almost all cultures. That is why we get a thrill seeing snake monsters on the screen. Similarly, our ancestors’ minds were shaped by the need to detect bears, lions and other larger predators in tough environments. We evolved to spot predators in the dark between tree trunks or in shadowy corners. With their long teeth and giant claws, these animals have seized our imaginations, appearing in cave paintings over thousands of years. There are psychological benefits to being frightened by monsters. Scary stories with terrifying creatures activate the amygdala, the brain’s fear center, kicking off the fight-or-flight response and releasing adrenaline (肾上腺素). With the story ending in safety, adrenaline levels drop, bringing chemicals that fuel the feeling of relaxation. Such controlled fear experience might help us to manage long-term stress or increase our pain tolerance. As a result, some people with anxiety enjoy watching horror films before bed. The monsters we create today for films and books reflect our deepest fears — whether it’s Godzilla threatening civilisation, or aliens growing within us. Monster media allows us to externalise anxieties into supernatural beings. By understanding our monsters and why we make them, we can learn a great deal about what is going on under the surface of our minds. 28. What does the underlined word “paradoxical” mean in paragraph 1? A. Reasonable. B. Predictable. C. Contradictory. D. Problematic. 29. What is the purpose of paragraphs 2 and 3? A. To honor the wisdom of our ancestors. B. To demonstrate the origin of monsters. C. To compare different deadly creatures. D. To introduce common animals in artworks. 30. How does watching horror films benefit people with anxiety? A. It reduces the brain’s sensitivity to fear. B. It helps people forget anxious experiences. C. It teaches safety lessons in extreme danger. D. It stimulates the body’s relaxation system. 31. What is the author’s attitude towards our love of monsters? A. Favourable. B. Uncertain. C. Ambiguous. D. Skeptical. D Technology with roots going back to the Bronze Age may offer a fast and inexpensive solution to help achieve the United Nations climate goal of net zero emissions by 2050. The technology involves arranging heat-absorbing firebricks in an insulated (隔热的) container, where they store heat generated by solar or wind power for later use and maintain it at the high temperatures required for industrial processes. When needed, the heat can be released by passing air through channels in the layers of the bricks, thus allowing steel, glass, and paper factories to run on renewable energy even when wind and sunlight are unavailable. The bricks are made from the same materials as the insulating bricks used thousands of years ago. Today, about 17% of all carbon dioxide emissions (排放) worldwide come from burning fossil fuels to produce heat for industrial processes. Generating industrial heat from renewable sources could all but remove these emissions. “By storing energy in the form closest to its end use, you reduce inefficiencies in energy transition,” said the researchers. “It’s said in our field that’ if you want hot showers, store hot water’; so this study can be summarized as ‘if you need heat for industry, store it in firebricks.’” The researchers examined the impact of using firebricks to store industrial process heat in149 countries by using computer models to assess costs, land requirements, health impacts, and emissions in two situations for an assumed future where those countries in 2050 are using renewables for all energy purposes. In one situation, firebricks provide 90% of industrial process heat. In the other, there’s zero adoption of firebricks or other heat energy storage for industrial processes. The researchers found firebricks enable a faster and lower-cost transition to renewables. Specifically, the situation with firebricks could cut capital costs by $1.27 trillion across the 149 countries relative to the situation with no firebrick storage, while reducing demand for energy from the electricity supply. “What excites us is that the substantial benefit at low cost from multiple angles, from helping to reduce air pollution related deaths to easing global transition to clean renewables,” researchers commented. 32. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about concerning the firebrick? A. Its key composition. B. Its potential limitations. C. Its working principle. D. Its historical background. 33. What can we learn about the firebrick in paragraph 3? A. It increases the use of fossil fuels. B. It helps to generate industrial heat. C. It contributes to energy sustainability. D. It stores energy in the form of hot water. 34. How did the researchers arrive at their conclusion in paragraph 4? A. By making a comparison. B. By presenting a phenomenon. C. By analyzing cause and effect. D. By building a computer model. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Firebricks Are the Future of Industrial Technology B. The Solar Power Helps Achieve Net Zero Emissions C. Renewable Energy Dominates Industrial Production D. Bronze Age Technology Could Aid Clean Energy Shift 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。 “Lazy Girl Jobs” Are Just Healthy Jobs On social media platforms, the term “lazy girl job” is being used to describe jobs with a comfortable salary, reasonable benefits and 9-to-5 working hours. This trend is about flexibility, efficiency and creating healthy boundaries. Employees are working to get this message across. It boils down to the lesson the pandemic taught us: ___36___. It’s primary that business leaders put the well-being and health of workers and their families above everything else. We have to enable employees to succeed in a more independent and self-guided way. Part of that is incorporating work into employees’ lives, not life into their work. ___37___. In reality, commitment is about output, productivity and goal completion. When employees really understand their goals and are completing them effectively, productivity thrives. Here are four key lessons: Output before input ___38___. Shifting to a focus on productivity promotes a more efficient and flexible work environment where employees are judged by their output. That means companies must have the right tools and processes to document goals and progress. Healthy boundaries Recognize that work is a part of life, not the other way around. This means flexibility in work hours, opportunities for remote work and ensuring that after-hours communications are exception. Build trust and autonomy One crucial aspect of this trend is empowering employees to guide their work autonomously. This autonomy translates into higher job satisfaction and performance. ___39___ Every leader is doing their best to hire smart, motivated and talented people. It’s our responsibility to ensure their well-being. Offering mental health support, promoting physical wellness and cultivating a positive work environment contribute to this goal. The “lazy girl job” trend is not a short-lived craze. We must pay attention to what employees — especially the next generation — are saying about what work should be. Millennials and Gen Z want balance in their lives, not to be the first one in the office and the last one out. ___40___. By doing so, we foster a culture where employees feel cared for, where their lives outside of work are valued and where they can perform at their best. A. Integrate well-being and health B. Prioritize health over responsibility C. Managing employees is not what it used to be D. The “lazy girl job” trend argues for a results-driven culture E. A common mistake leaders make is equating commitment with long hours F. The leaders should create an environment where employees can work at ease G. This trend encourages us to create a workplace that’s in tune with these generations and the modern world 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I once had a colleague who was a “score keeper”.

The words “award nomination (提名)” glowed on the screen, but my heart raced like a trapped bird. Bianca, my orange cat, jumped onto the desk and rubbed her head against my arm, her soft fur calming me a little. Closing the laptop, I took a deep breath and walked to the kitchen to make coffee. The morning sun painted golden stripes on the floor, and the smell of roasted beans filled the air. Outside, the Pacific Ocean waves crashed gently, a sound I’d loved for years. New York felt like another universe compared to this quiet coastal town. Carrying my mug to the wooden deck, I sat down and watched seagulls circle above the water. A cool breeze blew my hair back, but it couldn’t ease the tightness in my chest. “New York,” I whispered to myself. Tall buildings, crowded streets, and strangers everywhere — how could I survive there? I’d always avoided big cities after moving back from Toronto. My small house by the ocean was my safe harbor, where I wrote mysteries about brave detectives. Now, life was asking me to become as brave as my characters. When Kathy arrived for our usual coffee time her eyes were wide with excitement. “New York! This is amazing!” she shouted, almost spilling her latte. Her enthusiasm made me shrink into my chair. “I know, but...” I sighed, playing with the handle of my mug. “Last year’s ceremony was in Seattle. I drove there, wore my old blue dress, and nobody cared if I made mistakes. New York is different. What if I get lost? What if I say something stupid in front of famous writers?” My voice grew quieter. “And…what if I lose?” Kathy reached over and patted my hand. “You’ve already won by being nominated. Thousands of writers dream of this chance.” She smiled warmly. “Remember why you started writing? It wasn’t for awards. It was because you love stories.” 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。 Her words lingered in my mind long after she left. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ And then I was there, at the big, scary New York. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第 9 页 共 9 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 月考答案 1-5 BACCB 6-10 ACCAB 11-15 CCBBB 16-20 ACAAB 21-25 BADDD 26-30 BACBD 31-35 ACCAD 36-40 CEDAG 41.

First 作文一范文： Ball Game Fun: Try it! For the upcoming school sports festival I highly recommend including table tennis as one of the activities, which enjoys great popularity among students. Carrying out this activity possesses numerous remarkable advantages. Not only does it significantly enhance our hand-eye coordination, reaction speed, and concentration, but it also serves as an excellent means for us to engage in physical activity and maintain good health. Moreover, the reason why the activity can be carried out easily is that table tennis is suitable for players of all skill levels and many students show great interest in it. Therefore, organizing competitions or recreational play sessions would be relatively effortless. I firmly believe that table tennis would be an excellent option, bringing substantial benefits to us students. 作文二范文： Her words lingered in my mind long after she left. That night, I sat at my desk, Bianca sleeping peacefully beside my keyboard. Moonlight spilled through the window, turning the ocean silver. I opened my laptop and reread the e-mail. Fear still clawed at me, but beneath it bubbled a strange hope. Maybe New York wasn’t Mars. Maybe it was just another chapter waiting to be written. I booked the plane ticket before I could change my mind. The plane’s engines roared as coastal fog dissolved beneath us, Manhattan’s jagged silhouette rising like a paper-cut cityscape against dawn. And then I was there, at the big, scary New York. Tall buildings blocked the sky, and taxi horns screamed like angry birds. My hands shook as I walked into the hotel. At the award ceremony, I held Bianca’s old collar in my pocket — its rough edges reminded me of home. When my name was called, the crowd’s clapping sounded like ocean waves. I stood at the microphone and said, “Stories help us find bravery.” A man in the front row nodded like Kathy always does. Afterward, someone handed me coffee with a kind smile. It was just Kathy standing there, smiling. The city lights twinkled like stars on water, and I smiled back. 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
