A key part of school life is the wide range of club activities available after class. These clubs provide wonderful opportunities for students to explore new interests, develop skills, and make lasting friendships. Here is an introduction to some popular school clubs you might find in the UK. Sports Clubs Sports play a big role in British schools. Most schools offer traditional team sports like football, rugby, and netball, which help students learn teamwork and leadership. For those who prefer individual activities, there are also clubs for swimming, tennis, and athletics. These clubs often train for inter-school competitions, giving students the chance to represent their school with pride. Academic Clubs For students who love learning, academic clubs are a great choice. The Debate Club encourages critical thinking and confident public speaking on various topics. The Science Club allows members to conduct exciting experiments and even take part in national competitions. Meanwhile, the Creative Writing Club provides a supportive space for young writers to share their stories and poems. Arts and Performance Clubs Creativity is highly valued in British education. The Drama Club puts on school plays and musical performances, involving students in acting, set design, and lighting. The School Band and Choir welcome musicians of all levels to practice together and perform at school events. There are also art clubs where students can try painting, pottery, and photography. Special Interest Clubs Many schools also offer unique clubs based on students’ hobbies. From chess and coding to gardening and cooking, there is truly something for everyone. These clubs are usually suggested and even run by students themselves, with support from a teacher. In conclusion, school club activities are an essential part of British education. They help students discover hidden talents, build confidence, and create happy memories.

B Nick Woodman is well known as the founder of GoPro, a camera designed primarily to help sports activity lovers get close-up videos. The camera is frequently used in water sports, skydiving, biking, etc, and can also be used as a general video camera. Nick was born in 1975 and raised in California, where he attended university and finished his degree in visual arts. GoPro wasn’t his first business attempt, and the first was Empowerall.com, a website selling digital items. The second one was Funbug, a gaming platform that allowed people the chance to win cash prizes. Unfortunately, they were both failures, but they gave Nick the experience he needed to succeed with GoPro. During his surf tour in Australia and Indonesia, Nick attached a small 35mm camera to his hand using a rubber band (橡皮筋) to take his videos while surfing. At that time, many extreme sports lovers like Nick were not professional photographers and wanted to take clear recordings of their sports activities, but they could not get close enough to the action or were unable to buy proper equipment at affordable prices and that was where Nick’s inspiration came for GoPro. Nick’s idea was to create a belt that the camera could be attached to, so users could connect the camera to their body. The first designs of the camera focused on wrist (腕) cameras which would be very useful for anyone wishing to shoot while using both hands. GoPro cameras have now become a phenomenon for anybody who is into sports or traveling, and in addition to wrist straps (腕带), they also offer head straps, chest belts, and poles that can be lengthened. You name it. As a surfing lover, Nick traveled around the world to surf, so he saw a need in the market for easy-to-use cameras for sporting activities, and he came up with this idea by simply doing what he likes doing and knowing what people with similar interests would want. 36. What can we infer about Nick from his business experiences? A. He achieved success by chance. B. He is tough and strong-minded. C. He explored to find true love. D. He is a talented businessman. 37. What trouble were people faced with before GoPro cameras appeared? A. Struggling to improve their surfing skills. B. Having limited time and resources for sports. C. Being unable to create high-quality action videos. D. Lacking methods for expressing artistic feelings. 38. How may users find GoPro cameras? A. Practical and convenient. B. Simple and energy-saving. C. Light but old-fashioned. D. Costly but effective. 39. What may be the inspiration drawn from Nick’s story? A. Make like-minded friends. B. Fall in love with sports. C. Follow our passion. D. Go on more trips. 40. What may be the purpose of this text? A. To show the rise of extreme sports. B. To share the success of GoPro. C. To recommend a new camera. D. To introduce an inspirational figure. C The well-known saying, “Necessity is the mother of invention, ” expresses a belief widely held in our society. It suggests that pressing needs directly inspire creative solutions, and history does offer some support for this view. Eli Whitney’s 1794 cotton gin, for example, efficiently met the urgent need to clean cotton in the American South, seeming to confirm this principle perfectly. However, such straightforward examples can be misleading. They tempt us to assume that all major inventions were direct responses to obvious needs. In truth, the reverse is frequently the case: invention itself is the mother of necessity. The driving force behind most important breakthroughs has typically not been clear market demand, but rather human curiosity and a simple love of tinkering (摆弄，动手做) . More often than not, a new device is created first through experimental work; only afterward does its inventor begin searching for practical applications. Consumers, in turn, often only gradually come to realise they “need” the new technology long after its initial development. The history of the automobile provides a particularly illuminating case study. When Nikolaus Otto built his first gas engine in 1866, it was notoriously clumsy, inefficient, and physically enormous. Decades later, when the first truck was developed, it entered a transportation landscape dominated by horse-drawn wagons and steam-powered railways. The general public showed little interest in this novel “horseless carriage” and remained largely content with existing options. It was not until World War I, when military strategists recognised the truck’s strategic advantages, that these vehicles became established as essential equipment, eventually replacing horse-drawn transport in industrialised nations. This pattern of innovation-before-demand persists because early prototypes are often too crude and impractical to be immediately useful. The first cameras, typewriters, and television sets were as initially unpromising as Otto’s seven-foot-tall gas engine. This inherent uncertainty makes the inventor’s path particularly challenging, requiring extraordinary persistence to continue refining a device that shows no immediate market potential. Furthermore, even those rare inventions that are designed for specific needs often find their most important applications in completely unexpected areas. While James Watt originally developed his steam engine to pump water from mines, its true revolutionary impact emerged when it began powering cotton mills and later propelling trains and steamboats — applications far beyond its original purpose. Therefore, while pressing needs can occasionally inspire new solutions, the deeper engine of human creativity, driven primarily by curiosity and experimentation, more often serves as the true wellspring of invention. These curiosity-driven innovations ultimately create their own demand, progressively reshaping our world in ways no one could have initially predicted, and demonstrating how invention frequently precedes and creates necessity rather than merely responding to it. 41. Why does the writer mention Eli Whitney in Paragraph 1? A. To clarify a doubt. B. To illustrate a view. C. To introduce the topic. D. To evaluate a statement. 42. What is the author’s main argument? A. Necessity drives most innovations. B. Inventions often create new demands. C. Curiosity is secondary to market needs. D. Historical examples are always misleading. 43. What contributed to the popularity of motor vehicles? A. Creative designs. B. Powerful engines. C. Military demands. D. Public satisfaction. 44. What does Watt’s steam engine example illustrate? A. Original purposes are rarely met. B. Inventions always have multiple uses. C. Inventions may find unexpected applications. D. Engineering breakthroughs are crucial for progress. 45. What is the best title for this passage? A. Social Need: the Inner Drive for Invention B. Great Invention: the Force of Society’s Progress C. General Application: the Final Purpose of Invention D. Beyond Necessity: the Curious Pursuit of Invention 第Ⅱ卷 非选择题（满分25分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 I was born legally blind. Of all the stories of my early childhood, the one about a tree is my mother’s favorite. I was only two when the incident occurred. We had just arrived home from a trip. Mom lifted me out of the car and turned to speak to the driver. I took advantage of my brief freedom to zoom across the lawn and hit a large maple tree! I was running so fast that I bounced off the trunk and landed on my backside. Mom expected me to start crying but I just sat there for a minute. Then I picked myself up and kept right on going. Mom always adds here that, as many times as I zoomed across the lawn after that, I never again crashed into that tree. Mom loves to use this story as an example. It reminds her that children don’t enter life afraid to take risks or unwilling to try again when they fall down. She never wanted me to lose that toughness as I grew older. When I made my major life decisions, I was still that little girl tearing (飞跑) full-speed across the lawn. I studied abroad and later moved away from my parents’ home to look for a job. Through years of efforts, I have become a respected teacher in a school serving high-need students. We are almost certain to get knocked down at some point during the process of achieving our goal. When that happens, don’t sit in the grass and cry. Just get up and keep on going. It will all be worth it in the end. 46. What is the author’s mother’s favorite story of her early childhood? (no more than 10 words) _______________________________________________________________________________ 47. How do you explain the underlined word in paragraph 2?
