From my perspective,peer learning works better for most students. To begin with,with classmates working together,we can share different ideas,solving problems more efficiently.We all have experienced how group discussions often spark creative solutions that we might never discover alone.Moreover,learning with peers makes the process more enjoyable and less boring.We can encourage each other and stay motivated when facing difficult tasks.Finally,peer learning helps improve our communication and teamwork skills,which are essential in modern society. Therefore,I believe peer learning is more effective.By learning together,not only can we improve our academic performance but also develop important social abilities. 范文二 Which Works Better:Peer Learning or Independent Learning? Personally,I think independent learning is more effective. First of all,independent learing allows us to arrange our own study pace,which allows us to focus on our weak points without being disturbed by others.In addition,it helps us develop self-discipline and the ability to think independently.When tackling problems on our own,we gain a deeper understanding of them.Although peer leaming has its advantages,it may somctimes lead to inefficiency due to different leveis of leaming. In conclusion,independent leaming is more effective for me.Aside from improving my learning efficiency,n also prepare6 ine for lifelong leaming. 第二节（满分25分） He gathered lis courage and walked to the front of the classroom.His mind went blank the moment he stood before the class.Faced with the teacher's sincere praise and the classmates'admiring gazes,he was seized by deep guilt.After a brief inner struggle,he took a deep breath,admitted the essay was generated by AI and apologized for his dishonesty.A sudden silence fell over the room.The students exchanged surprised looks,while Mrs.Evans'smile faded into a serious look.She signaled him to return to his seat calmly.Restless and ashamed all evening,Tom rewrote the essay on his own that night. The next morning,Tom walked into Mrs.Evans'office with a handwritten essay.With butterflies in his stomach,he handed it to Mrs.Evans.Hanging his head low,he whispered,"Mrs.Evans,I shouldn't have relied on AI for my assignment,"fully prepared for whatever punishment he might receive. Instead,Mrs.Evans patted him gently on the shoulder and said softly,"Honesty outweighs perfect work."Tom promised to complete every assignment by himself.This painful lesson taught him that the pride in honesty could only last when he stuck to it in hard moments. 听力文本 Text1 W:There are so many people down with the flu at the office,Peter.I'm afraid I'll catch it and miss our trip this weekend.

B On family trips, my mother always wanted to watch the sunset. She never asked for much — just a spot near the water before the light melted into the horizon. But this simple wish rarely came true. My food allergies (过敏) turned every dinner into a puzzle: questions fired at waiters, warnings scanned from menus, and choices weighed with care. It was a long wait. By the time we found parking and raced to the shore, the sun had usually slipped below the edge of the world, taking my mother’s hope with it. Once, in Hawaii, we came so close. After an early dinner, we drove toward the beach, and my mother smiled because, for once, the timing was on our side. Then, unexpectedly, we were stopped on the road by the police for a security check. While we were waiting, the sky put on its evening show — orange bleeding into red, red fading into gray. My mother said nothing. She only sighed as the sun disappeared. For years, I thought my mother was simply chasing beauty. Only later did I understand that she was chasing a few quiet minutes that belonged to her. She had spent much of her life planning meals, solving problems and making sure everyone else was safe. A sunset was small, but it was hers. Years later, I went to Alaska for a writing program. There, near the summer solstice (夏至), the sunsets refused to end. They stretched across the evening like a slow song, paying no attention to clocks or schedules. I would write, eat, wash the dishes, and return to the window to find the sky still painted with fire. One evening, I wished I could fold that Alaskan sunset into a letter and send it home to her — not the colors, but the feeling that time was wide and generous. Perhaps love is not about pouring yourself out until you are empty. Perhaps a family can hold one another close and still leave room for each person to simply watch the sky. 24. What made it difficult for the family to watch a sunset? A. The mother’s food allergies. B. Time-consuming daily routines. C. The waiter’s selected menus. D. Unfamiliar parking locations. 25. How did the mother react while waiting for the security check? A. She tried to solve the problems. B. She kept silent and let out a sigh. C. She stretched and relaxed herself. D. She comforted the worried family. 26. What can we learn about the mother’s wish? A. It was her own moment of peace. B. It helped her avoid family duties. C. It was mainly about natural beauty. D. It creates lasting family memories. 27. What did the author finally realize? A. Family regrets fade with time. B. Natural beauty offers comfort. C. True love allows each soul its own stillness. D. Successful trips depend on careful planning. C In Guangdong province, hundreds of offshore wind turbines (风力涡轮机) have been installed in the South China Sea to generate renewable energy. However, these turbines face a major threat: typhoons, which frequently hit China’s coast. According to Zhu Ronghua, director of the Yangjiang Offshore Wind Energy Laboratory, coastal regions that experience typhoons also possess the best offshore wind resources. The challenge, he says, is to build turbines that can not only resist typhoons but also tap into their energy. During a typhoon, turbines are under extreme pressure. Blades (桨片) may break because the speed and direction of wind often change suddenly and dramatically. Its tower can bend or collapse, and its foundation — which also has to take the pressure from waves and currents — is at risk of becoming deformed or overturning. Rain and lightning strikes can damage turbines, too. While both on-land and offshore turbines in typhoon areas need to be typhoon-resistant, this feature is more critical offshore because typhoons are much stronger at sea. Chinese companies have adopted multiple strategies to enhance turbine resilience, including advanced materials, improved weather forecasting, and upgraded control systems, according to Han Yujia from Global Energy Monitor. A notable example is OceanX, manufactured by Mingyang Smart Energy Group. Its floating foundation supports two turbines whose blades spin in opposite directions, increasing energy output. The platform is secured to the seabed via a single-point mooring, which fixes it in place at only one point, allowing it to side with the wind and reduce load. Its foundation is built with ultra-high performance concrete, four times tougher than normal concrete. In September 2024, OceanX was installed off the coast of Yangjiang, weeks before Super Typhoon Yagi struck. Despite wind speeds reaching 133 km/h, the turbines survived and generated 2.1 GWh of electricity in nine hours. Goldwind, another Chinese manufacturer, has achieved similar success through innovations like carbon fiber materials and real-time monitoring systems. Over the next decade, China is expected to add 170 GW of new offshore wind capacity, with about 60% located in typhoon regions. As offshore wind energy expands, so do the engineering challenges. 28. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A. Typhoon’s threats to turbines. B. Need for better foundations. C. Importance of strong blades. D. Turbines’ working conditions. 29. What does the underlined word “resilience” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. The ability to generate more electricity. B. The ability to forecast weather accurately. C. The ability to resist and recover from damage. D. The ability to operate without human intervention. 30. What is the main function of the single-point mooring? A. To enable two turbines to spin oppositely. B. To boost the platform’s total power output. C. To fix the foundation with special concrete. D. To let the structure follow the wind direction. 31. What can we infer about the future of offshore wind energy in China? A. It will stop developing soon. B. It will grow but face challenges. C. It will avoid typhoon regions. D. It will have no engineering problems. D Ask students to describe their brain, and they’re likely to suggest a computer, a command center, or maybe a lightning-fast communications network. But they’d be better off thinking of the brain as a muscle that gets stronger with use. Researchers now understand that IQ isn’t fixed at birth. Just as we get more physically fit from exercising, we can build brainpower through the act of learning. Children who adopt what psychologist Carol Dweck calls a growth mindset understand that intelligence isn’t fixed but can be developed through effort. In Mindset, Dweck explains why students who have a growth mindset are more willing to tackle challenges, learn from failure, and see criticism as useful feedback rather than an excuse to give up. This is the kind of thinking that keeps students motivated, even when learning is hard work. The good news is that even the mindset isn’t fixed. A growth mindset can be learned and enhanced by messages that praise persistence and set high expectations. For example, help students understand that challenging assignments will stretch their “thinking muscles”. At the same time, provide them with necessary support so they don’t get discouraged. It is widely believed that all brains are not equal and that context and ability influence learning. The brain connects new information to the old and can be changed by experience. Effective teaching strategies help students move toward higher-order thinking, or what neurologists call executive (执行) function. As professor Judy Willis explains, “When educators offer students chances to put their learning into practice, particularly by engaging them in genuine, personally relevant activities accompanied by formative assessments and corrective feedback throughout a unit, the facts students learn are no longer rote memory (死记硬背). Instead, these facts become solidly integrated into an interconnected memory framework, rather than being deserted due to lack of use.” Of course, all this brain activity is happening in a unique way for each student. By addressing learners’ individual needs, educators can help students strengthen the bonds that will lead to deeper understanding. 32. Why does the author compare the brain to a muscle? A. To prove they possess memory cells. B. To illustrate they work in similar ways. C. To emphasize they are fundamental to our body. D. To show they can be strengthened through exercise. 33. What are children with a growth mindset like according to Dweck? A. They tend to shy away from trouble. B. They prefer positive feedback from others. C. They regard intelligence as an unchangeable quality. D. They view barriers as opportunities for personal growth. 34. Which of the following enhances executive function? A. Positive feedback. B. Practical engagement. C. Interactive activities. D. Independent learning. 35. What can be the best title for the text? A. IQ and Its Influence on Learning B. A Look Into How Students Describe Their Brain C. Growth Mindset Contributes to Brainpower Building D. The Significance of Executive Function in Education 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。 When I moved a few years back, I spent weeks sorting, packing, trashing and giving away. Moves are great for making you realize how much stuff you’ve accumulated — and how little of it you actually use! 36 Things are relatively cheap and buying things is pretty much a national hobby. Here are a few rules of thumb to downsize stuff. If in doubt, throw it out. There are so many things we keep because we think there’s a slight chance of needing them again. 37 And if you do happen to need it, it’s probably not that big a deal to get another one. So get rid of it! 38 If you buy something new, or if your child gets new toys, you can make it a general rule that something should be given away — or thrown away in the case of things that are shabby or broken — in exchange. Think of toys and clothes as consumables (like food, toilet paper or tickets to a movie). If you pay $10 for a toy and your children really enjoy it for a month and then it’s just taking up space, just think of that $10 like you’d think of the $10 you spent on a movie. 39 But just like you don’t have to keep the movie tickets, you don’t have to keep the toy. Have a “giveaway box” on hand all the time and use a trash can freely. I routinely keep a charity donation box that fills up as I find things that have out-lived their usefulness. And my favorite aid to downsizing is my trash can. 40 . It’s empowering! A. It’s so easy to pile up in our society. B. We don’t even like or need them anymore. C. I use whichever method fits the item I am dealing with. D. When something comes in, something must go out. E. It can be passed along to someone who might really enjoy it. F. It was money well spent because it had provided nice enjoyment. G. But there’s a far greater chance we won’t need those things again. 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。 When I started my advanced chemistry class, I was paired with Leo, a quiet guy who rarely spoke.

That is where the round table comes in. Imagine dining with family or friends around a round table, 56 people share warm moments of closeness. Such tables are common in Chinese restaurants, yet their history reflects a gradual cultural transformation. Despite our familiarity 57 them, round tables were not widely used for dining until the Qing dynasty. In the Ming dynasty, people 58 (dine) at square tables, seated according to social positions. By contrast, the rise of round tables reshaped social practices. Their round form is believed to promote 59 (equal), reducing distinctions among diners. This symbolic meaning, 60 (root) in philosophical ideas about harmony and social change, made the round table more than just a 61 (function) object. Practicality also contributed to their spread. Round tables are easy 62 (move), with parts that can be folded, 63 (allow) flexible use in homes, courtyards, and even outdoor spaces. Their widespread use, which is not only culturally significant but also closely tied to everyday needs, shows how a simple design works. The round table is associated with tuanyuan, meaning reunion and completeness, especially during festivals such as the Mid-Autumn Festival. While this association reflects deep cultural values connecting family unity with symbolic forms like 64 full moon and shared meals, it also highlights the role of everyday objects in shaping social relationships 65 reveals their long-term influence. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 你校英文报“Opinion”栏目正在征稿。请你就“同伴互助学习”和“自主学习”哪种方式更有效发表看法，并说明理由。写一篇短文向该栏目投稿。 注意： （1）写作词数应为80左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Which Works Better: Peer Learning or Independent Learning? 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。 Tom was a good student who always prided himself on his honesty and hard work. For years, he had been the model student in his teachers’ eyes. One Wednesday evening, he was invited to a classmate’s birthday party. He was having so much fun that he didn’t realize how late it was, and arrived home very late. Exhausted, he packed his schoolbag and was about to throw himself into bed when he saw his essay assignment book. A wave of horror washed over him — he had completely forgotten about the English essay, which had to be handed in the next morning. The deadline was firm, and his teacher, Mrs. Evans, never accepted late submissions. Panic set in. It was already midnight and he was too sleepy to think. The 600-word essay seemed an impossible mountain to climb. He felt desperate. “What should I do? It’s too late to write it now!” he muttered to himself. Suddenly, a tempting yet dangerous idea flashed through his mind. “Maybe... just this once, I can use AI to help me. No one will know.” He turned to his computer and used an AI tool to generate an essay on the topic. Without much review, he hastily copied it down into his essay assignment book and stuffed it into his schoolbag, his heart pounding like a drum. The next day, with a guilty conscience, he handed in the AI-generated work. To his shock, Mrs. Evans praised the essay highly in class, calling it “the most insightful and well-structured piece she has ever read.” Then came the worst part. “Tom,” Mrs. Evans said with a big smile. “Please come up to the front and share your ideas with the class. How did you develop such brilliant ideas?” A cold sweat burst out upon Tom’s forehead. The applause around sounded particularly jarring (刺耳的). He felt that the pressure brought about by his hidden secret was overwhelming him. 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。 Para. 1 He gathered his courage and walked to the front of the classroom. Para. 2 The next morning, Tom walked into Mrs. Evans’ office with a handwritten essay. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
