Music has a special place in our school life. After hours of study, a favorite song from the school radio can instantly lift our spirits. During exam weeks, a familiar melody can bring a little calm when stress builds up. Besides, music activities are a wonderful way to bring students closer. After all, music is a universal language that speaks to us all. To make music more present on campus, I suggest setting up a lunchtime music corner in the dining hall, with students taking turns to play instruments. We could also hold lawn concerts, where students can enjoy live music and connect with one another. In this way, music can become a natural part of our everyday school life. Thank you! 【参考范文】 Suddenly, something unexpected happened. Swinging his branch carelessly, Jake accidentally knocked over Lily’s paint box. Bright paints flowed across the paper, ruining the carefully-planned landscape Lily had worked so hard on. Staring at the messy, colourful marks all over her sketchbook, Lily felt a burst of anger welling up inside her. She shouted at Jake, tears rolling down her cheeks. Frightened and guilty, Jake stood still, head hanging low. Their parents hurried over upon hearing the quarrel. Instead of blaming Jake, they comforted the upset Lily gently, pointing out that the accidental mixture of paints had created surprisingly warm and lively patterns on the paper. Hearing their words, Lily took a close look at the ruined painting. To her surprise, the accidental colors formed a special view that she could never have planned out. For the first time, she realized perfection was not everything and her family love her for herself, not her flawless works. She did not drive Jake away this time. Instead, she invited him to add some marks to the paper with his branch. Laughing, the siblings created a totally unique painting together. That day, Lily understood that she need not be a “human perfection machine” to be loved. Only when she let go of the obsession of perfection could she draw close to her family and truly feel the beauty of daily life. 听力文本 Text 1（第1题） W: Hey, listen! Is that Hero? I used to sing this song all the time as a kid. M: Oh wow, memories! Mariah Carey’s voice is just incredible in this track. Text 2（第2题） W: I spent the past two summers on classes and charity work. This will be my first chance to explore a new place alone. M: How long will your trip be? W: I’ll leave a week after break starts and return a few weeks before school begins. Text 3（第3题） W: Did you see the look on Nancy’s face when she heard the news? M: Yeah, she didn’t expect to take second place. It was not the result she had hoped to achieve. Text 4（第4题） W: I’m thinking of taking a painting class this term. What do you think? M: That sounds great. I took one last year. The teacher taught us how to use colors. W: Did you learn a lot? M: Yes, and it was fun. You should give it a try. Text 5（第5题） W: Where to, sir? M: The airport, please. I have a flight at 9:30. W: Don’t worry. We’ll make it if there’s no traffic jam. Text 6（第6至7题） M: Are you interested in music, Mrs. Rogers? W: Yes, I’m taking a course of classical music now, but jazz is my favorite. And my husband is crazy about rock music. M: You play the violin, don’t you? W: A little bit, but my husband is much better than me. He can also play the drums quite well, which he learned from my uncle. M: Really? I hope I can hear your husband play some day. W: Why not come to our house this Friday evening? We are having a party to welcome my music teacher. M: Thank you. I’d love to. Text 7（第8至10题） W: I loved the architecture, didn’t you? M: It was so unusual. I mean, when you look at the buildings built in cities these days, like all those shopping centers and places, you doubt whether people nowadays spend much time designing them carefully anymore. W: That’s right. And the atmosphere inside was just so quiet — you could really take your time admiring everything on display. Those 18th-century vases were absolutely brilliant. You’d never find craftsmanship like that in any modern factory. M: Yeah, they really caught my attention, too. In fact, I’m planning to do some research on ancient vases. So I’ll borrow some books from the library later. Text 8（第11至13题） W: Have you tried that new restaurant, Paul? The review I read said it was really good. M: It must have been the same review I read. That’s why I went last night. I was disappointed, though, Beth. The service was very slow, and the music was too loud. As for the food, I didn’t think it was anything special. W: I was thinking of going there for my birthday dinner. Maybe I’ll choose somewhere else instead. M: I can recommend a small Italian place nearby. The atmosphere is much better, and the food is excellent. Text 9（第14至16题） W: Professor Smith. M: Hi, Justine. How are you? You don’t look very happy. W: I’m OK, but I’m doing badly in your class. I wonder how to do better. M: I think coming prepared to class may do something to improve your grades. W: How can I prepare for class? M: Have you checked out my web page? All my lecture notes are on my web page. You can read them first. W: Really? Wow. That would be very helpful. M: Another good idea is to read the book before class. W: I usually don’t do that. I thought hearing the lecture first would be better than reading first. M: Reading first is actually better. You should also write down ideas or notes while you’re reading. That way you can come to class with some questions. W: Yeah. Thank you very much, Professor Smith. I feel much better now. Text 10（第17至20题，独白） W: Good morning, everyone.

Whether you’re bringing a small group or planning for a full busload, our education programs make learning come alive underground. Highlights Students will explore undeveloped sections of the Manitou Grand Caverns, while climbing and crawling through passageways lit only by headlamps. Knowledgeable guides provide groups with 2 hours of good clean, yet muddy fun underground!

B Most composers devote themselves to creating auditory music for audiences with normal hearing. However, 31-year-old Zhou Mo dedicates her entire artistic career to designing tactile ( 触觉的) music, an inclusive art form specially created for the deaf and hearing-impaired community. Instead of relying merely on traditional sound waves and musical tones, she creatively converts delicate musical melodies and rhythms into soft physical vibrations (振动), enabling people with hearing disabilities to perceive, understand and enjoy music through gentle skin touch rather than listening with ears. Zhou received professional musical composition training during her university years. Her artistic path was completely transformed after she volunteered at a charity concert for deaf teenagers. On that occasion, she witnessed that deaf audiences could barely follow traditional music performances and were largely excluded from the charm of musical art. Deeply touched by this reality, she was determined to break this barrier and explore brand-new possibilities for inclusive art. After continuous research and numerous trials, she learned that human skin can sense low-frequency vibrations. Based on this biological principle, she invented accurate vibration devices connected to musical instruments. These devices produce stable vibration patterns that precisely correspond to subtle changes of musical beats and tones. To create a quiet and focused artistic experience, Zhou holds indoor tactile music performances. Audiences place their arms on professional vibration boards and feel the rising and falling of melodies through skin sensations. To make the art accessible, she simplifies complicated musical structures and avoids overly fast and chaotic rhythms, making vibration signals easy to recognize and understand. Zhou is committed to breaking the long-standing public stereotype that music belongs only to hearing people. She never intends to replace traditional concerts. Instead, she builds a fair and equal artistic platform for the deaf group. For her, music is essentially a universal language beyond sound, and every individual, regardless of physical conditions, deserves equal rights to appreciate pure artistic beauty. 24. What is the feature of Zhou Mo’s tactile music? A. It creates sounds with special instruments. B. It produces fast and chaotic musical rhythms. C. It replaces traditional auditory concerts completely. D. It enables the deaf to feel music through vibrations. 25. What inspired Zhou Mo to invent vibration devices? A. Her major study of human skin structure. B. The poor experience of deaf concert audiences. C. Public demand for simple modern music. D. New rules for charitable music performances. 26. What does the text imply about Zhou Mo? A. She holds a negative view on traditional music. B. She profits greatly from inclusive performances. C. She majors in biological science relevant to skin. D. She adjusts her works for better audience experience. 27. What is the main idea of the text? A. The development of modern musical devices. B. How ordinary people appreciate classical music. C. Tactile music — a new way to feel art beyond sound. D. Equal rights in modern public art education. C New interdisciplinary research in art cognition and brain science has recently uncovered the scientific reason why unfinished paintings and simple hand-drawn sketches possess unique and lasting artistic charm, which has puzzled art lovers for decades. Scientists have defined a special human brain mechanism called perceptual completion. Specifically, when viewers appreciate incomplete paintings with blank spaces, interrupted lines or partially covered images, the human brain can automatically, rapidly and unconsciously fill in all missing visual details to form a complete picture. Researchers from art and neuroscience (神经系统科学) institutes carried out systematic and repeated experiments with large groups of volunteer participants of different ages and artistic backgrounds. In controlled tests, they displayed various unfinished and partly covered artworks to viewers. The final experimental results showed that almost all participants could instantly form complete and coherent visual scenes in their minds, without any active thinking or deliberate imagination. The human brain actively combines personal visual memories, accumulated life experience and common sense to supplement hidden or missing details efficiently. This amazing brain mechanism perfectly explains the classic artistic wisdom of painters’ intentional blank-leaving technique. Instead of drawing every trivial (繁杂细琐的) detail mechanically, professional artists deliberately reserve proper blank space in their works. The empty areas successfully activate viewers’ imagination and encourage active thinking. During this appreciation process, audiences are no longer passive receivers of fixed artwork information. Instead, they become active participants in secondary artistic creation, which greatly enriches the layered meaning and overall artistic value of original works. Nevertheless, scientists also point out obvious limitations of perceptual completion. The supplementary details produced by different individuals’ brains vary greatly, depending on personal experience, aesthetic (审美的) taste and cultural background. More importantly, the imagined visual scenes cannot always match the original creative intention and design logic of painters accurately. Therefore, perceptual completion brings rich diversity to art appreciation, but it can never replace artists’ real design and original creation. The latest research finally proves that genuine art appreciation is always a two-way interactive process between creators and viewers, rather than one-way information reception. 28. What does “perceptual completion” refer to in Paragraph 1? A. The ability to judge the quality of different paintings. B. The brain’s unconscious filling of missing visual details. C. People’s active effort to memorize famous artworks. D. Artists’ method of completing unfinished paintings. 29. What did the experiments show? A. All participants had received professional art training. B. Volunteers needed to think hard to form complete images. C. Most participants instantly formed whole visual scenes in mind. D. Researchers only selected young people as test subjects. 30. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3? A. Blank-leaving reduces the artistic value of paintings. B. Viewers play an active role in appreciating incomplete art. C. Artists should draw every detail to satisfy the audience. D. Finished paintings are less touching than rough sketches. 31. What is the author’s attitude toward the research finding? A. Objective. B. Doubtful. C. Critical. D. Unconcerned. D A report by Pollstar reveals that concert ticket prices increased by 55% between 2019 and 2022. This dramatic rise can be associated with several factors, including inflation (通货膨胀), supply chain issues, and the demands of artists. Despite these growing costs, concert attendance remains strong. Economist Julia Coronado explains, “You can’t copy the energy of being in a crowd, singing along with your favorite band, or seeing your favorite star perform live.” Fans are willing to invest extra money for these unforgettable moments, which streaming services or recorded music cannot copy. The growing popularity of festivals and multi-day concerts also contributes to the rise of “funflation”. These events often feature numerous acts that vindicate the higher ticket prices. A survey conducted by Eventbrite found that 71% of festival-goers felt “more connected” to their favorite artists after attending live events. However, the rise of “funflation” has raised concerns among critics. Some argue that this trend affects some people much more than others, especially lower-income individuals who may find it challenging to afford high-priced tickets. Coronado points out, “It’s becoming more difficult for people with lower incomes to participate… It’s becoming an exclusive activity.” This view highlights the potential barriers that rising ticket prices create for certain groups of the population. Despite these valid (合理的) concerns, concert promoters remain optimistic about the future of live music. Aliaga expresses confidence in the ever-lasting appeal of live events, stating, “People will always find ways to prioritize fun… As long as there’s demand, supply will follow.” This optimism suggests that the trend of “funflation” will continue. The rise in concert ticket prices reflects a cultural change in how people value their leisure time and entertainment options. While critics highlight the accessibility issues posed by rising ticket prices, the live entertainment industry remains confident in its growth potential. As the industry adapts to these changing dynamics, it will be interesting to see how it addresses the concerns of accessibility while continuing to develop. 32. Why do fans accept higher concert ticket prices? A. They dislike streaming music. B. They expect free on-site gifts. C. They enjoy unique experiences. D. They expect to meet stars backstage. 33. What does the underlined word “vindicate” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Justify. B. Expect. C. Ignore. D. Adjust. 34. What is critics’ concern about “funflation”? A. It makes the poor poorer. B. It limits audience diversity. C. It harms artist-fan bonds. D. It lowers artists’ popularity. 35. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Social fairness is stressed. B. Fun is prioritized in the trend. C. Multiple options are emphasized. D. Industry prospect is questioned. 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。 “We are what we eat” — or so the saying goes. From high-calorie meals to low-fat lunches, much of our health depends on what we eat. 36 However, a growing body of evidence suggests that our mental well-being is also deeply influenced by how we prepare our food — the act of cooking itself. Some people are now advocating the therapeutic (疗法的) value of cooking food. It’s not just about the end result but the experience someone goes through. 37 They help patients develop planning skills, short-term memory and social skills — all of which suffer in mental illness.

A. Cooking can also be a highly sociable activity. B. Actually, tasty food is linked to positive feelings. C. What matters is the sense of calm that baking brings. D. Baking and cooking have been confirmed as good therapies. E. For a long time, the focus has been on food’s nutritional value. F. Altogether, cooking benefits both our physical and mental well-being. G. Studies also show that creative tasks like cooking can boost happiness. 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。 By my early 40s, I had tried almost all the hobbies that were supposed to make me feel better about entering middle age.

The idea that my body is still a work in progress 55 me. Ballet is forcing me to rethink my relationship with my body.

Part of its appeal lies in watching vendors (摊主) spread batter (面糊), crack eggs, brush sauce 58 pile on fillings before folding everything into a warm package. There is a famous saying in Shandong, “A single jianbing can wrap up a whole world.” Unlike modern streetfood jianbing 59 (load) with various fillings, traditional Shandong jianbing is much 60 (simple). Dating back to the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, it 61 (exist) in Tai’an for at least 400 years. Low in moisture (湿度), it is easy to store and carry, serving 62 a key local food. For Wang Taizhen, a Shandongborn chef, jianbing is more than food. It is something 63 reminds him of his hometown. He still remembers the slightly sour jianbing that he ate in childhood. Now he brings that memory into his restaurant, mixing local ingredients from across Shandong. No strict rules govern 64 can be wrapped inside jianbing.

Thank you! 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。 Lily was known among her friends as someone who would never settle for “good enough”. Whether she was arranging her bookshelf by color and height, or rewriting her notes until every letter was perfect, she believed that anything worth doing was worth doing perfectly. Deep down, she feared others would not like her if she was imperfect, so her strict pursuit of perfection often kept her distant from those around her. Her younger brother Jake often called her “the human perfection machine”. One Saturday, their parents announced a family outing to a nearby lake. Lily packed her bag with sketchbooks (写生簿), paints, and a set of brushes, imagining the perfect landscape she would create — the kind of painting that would look like a photograph. When they arrived, Lily found a flat rock by the water, set up her materials, and began sketching the scene before her. She measured the hills against the sky, adjusted the angle of each tree branch, and mixed the paints on her palette (调色盘) like a scientist doing an experiment. She leaned in close, her brush hanging in the air for a long time before it touched the paper. Every stroke (笔画) was carefully planned. She frowned as she focused and hardly noticed the laughter around her. Her parents once called her over to join their games, but she turned them down without hesitation. Some children were playing nearby, and some others were chatting on the grass, but Lily didn’t look up. The world around her had shrunk to the size of her sketchbook. While Lily was capturing every detail, her younger brother Jake had been walking along the shoreline since early afternoon, getting bored. He kicked at stones, threw sticks into the water, and sang loudly. Each time Lily glanced up, she found Jake making faces or pretending to fish with a long branch. She drove him away, but he only moved a few steps off before coming back. “Jake, just leave me alone!” she said, yet the boy stayed nearby, waving a long branch beside her painting. 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。 Suddenly, something unexpected happened. Hearing their words, Lily took a close look at the ruined painting. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
