Weekend and evening trade school programs make it easier to get trained without giving up your job. Who benefits most: •Parents who cannot attend weekday classes. •Workers looking for higher-paying trade jobs. •Adult learners who want flexible training. •Job changers who want new skills while still employed. Weekend schedules are often shorter, so students can finish hands-on training in 6 to 12 months. How to Choose the Best Weekend Trade School •Check official rules: Look for local government permission. •Confirm licensing: Make sure the courses meet your state’s requirements. •Ask about job results: Good schools have partnerships with local employers. •Compare class sizes: Smaller labs mean more personal guidance. •Consider mixed options: Online classes with weekend in-person labs save time.

Her energy and confidence filled every corner of the classroom. More importantly, she created a safe space where we could make mistakes and discover through trial and error who we wanted to become. Growing up in a small industrial town, I feared success and imagined staying right where I was forever. Mrs. Korthaus helped me see the potential in myself, turning literature into a window to the outside world. More than 25 years later, as an established writer, I took an urgent offer to teach an introductory English course at a local community college. Most of my 40 students were training for manufacturing or healthcare jobs, often working long hours. For them, literature was hardly a natural passion. Remembering Mrs. Korthaus, I avoided adding unnecessary pressure. Instead of demanding attention, I focused on earning their trust, listening to their struggles, and making each lesson practical. Through their homework, my students gradually shared their real lives. One quiet young man surprised us with an insightful discussion on a complex fantasy novel. A devoted husband took careful notes home to his sick wife. A working mother grieving the loss of her son never missed a single class even during winter snowstorms. With patience and understanding, I watched them embrace writing not just as a task, but as a bridge for connection. At the end of the term, my student evaluations arrived. While a few noted my occasional late arrivals after a long commute, one statement received the highest score across the board: I feel that this instructor cares about me. Standing in that classroom, I finally understood what Mrs. Korthaus had lived by decades earlier: a teacher’s true success lies not merely in delivering textbooks, but in helping students believe they are seen, valued, and capable of growth. 24. What influenced the author most about Mrs. Korthaus in high school? A. Her wide knowledge of literature. B. Her tolerance for her students’ mistakes. C. Her patience in offering career advice. D. Her encouragement of the author’s potential. 25. Why are the three students mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To prove their academic success. B. To show how writing healed pain. C. To explain their job training needs. D. To show emotional ties built by writing. 26. Which of the following would the author value most? A. Students felt valued and recognized. B. She was forgiven for her poor attendance. C. Her students got the highest grades. D. Students spoke highly of her teaching. 27. What has the author come to realize about teaching? A. To teach is to touch a heart forever. B. Actions always speak louder than words. C. A good tree always bears good fruit. D. True love never goes without strict rules. C Artificial intelligence is changing the way students learn, but experts disagree about whether this is a good thing. Some believe AI will make education more effective, while others worry it may harm the development of important skills. One major advantage of AI in education is personalized learning. In a traditional classroom, all students usually receive the same instruction. AI systems, however, can track each student’s progress and adjust the difficulty of tasks to match their level. For example, a language-learning app might give extra grammar exercises to a student who keeps making the same mistakes, while offering more challenging reading to another who is ahead. This means students can learn at their own speed, which reduces stress and improves results. Another benefit is instant feedback. In the past, students often waited days for teachers to mark their work. Today, many AI platforms correct answers immediately and explain the right solution. This allows learners to fix mistakes before they become bad habits. However, there are real concerns. Some students rely on AI to complete homework without thinking carefully. Instead of solving a problem themselves, they simply copy the machine’s answer. Over time, this may weaken their ability to think critically and work independently. Teachers also worry about privacy, because AI systems collect large amounts of information about students’ learning habits. The key question is not whether AI should be used in schools, but how it should be used. If students treat AI as a tool to support their own thinking, it can be highly valuable. If they treat it as a shortcut to avoid thinking, the cost may be greater than the benefit. 28. Which of the following benefits of AI in education is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. It helps teachers collect more homework. B. It can give students immediate feedback. C. It reduces stress and improves learning results. D. It allows students to learn at their own pace. 29. What may happen if students depend too much on AI to finish homework? A. They may finish their homework more quickly. B. They may develop a habit of depending on technology. C. They may lose the ability to think independently. D. They may get higher scores in the short term. 30. What does the underlined word “shortcut” in the last paragraph most probably mean? A. A longer but more proper way. B. A quicker but less proper way. C. A tool that supports deep thinking. D. A method that requires hard work. 31. What can be inferred from the passage? A. AI is more harmful than beneficial to students’ learning. B. Privacy concerns will likely stop schools from using AI. C. AI’s value depends on whether students use it wisely. D. Personalized learning makes AI better than human teachers. D Sweeteners（甜味剂） are widely used in products from yogurts to toothpaste. They claim to let people enjoy sweet tastes without gaining weight or suffering dental problems. However, a growing body of research is suggesting that these substances may bring unexpected consequences. These sweeteners include artificial ones and plant-based substances, including a family of chemicals called sugar alcohols and stevia. Some are hundreds of times sweeter than sugar, so they are added, in tiny amounts to foods. Based on the observation that most are passed out of the body unchanged, scientists assumed they pass through without affecting metabolism (新陈代谢). However, this thing might not be that simple. Short-term controlled studies have shown that replacing sugar with sweeteners does result in lower weight gain. But long-term observations have found the opposite: people who take more sweeteners tend to gain more weight than those who take the least. Other studies indicate that they also have higher rates of heart disease, high blood sugar and cancer than those who avoid them. Proving cause and effect is difficult, as it would require considering many factors: people who use sweeteners may already be at higher risk for these diseases and are attempting to eat more healthily. Nevertheless, the overall evidence was concerning enough to cause the World Health Organization to issue an official warning in 2023, advising against using sweeteners for weight control or disease prevention. (This does not apply to people with high blood sugar.) There are several possible explanations about how sweeteners might cause harm. Some have been found to start the same harmful processes in the stomach and digestive system as sugar. Studies on mice suggest they may affect the function of immune cells that help prevent cancers. New evidence also suggests they can upset the balance of stomach microbes, potentially allowing harmful types to grow. “There are many unanswered questions,” says Dr Herbert Tilg, “but these findings are increasing the level of concern.” Avoiding these sweeteners is easier said than done, as food companies often combine several in one product to create a more natural taste. Regular buyers of packaged snacks or carbonated drinks will find them hard to avoid. The wise choice is to stay away from these products completely. And if you desire something sweet, choose a piece of your favourite fruit instead. 32. What did scientists assume about sweeteners based on early observations? A. They affect the function of immune cells in mice. B. They cause serious damage to the digestive system. C. They result in lower weight gain over the long term. D. They pass through the body without affecting health. 33. What do the long-term observations indicate compared with short-term studies? A. Both short and long-term studies reach the same finding. B. Short-term studies show loss, while long-term ones suggest gain. C. Short-term studies are overall more reliable than long-term ones. D. Long-term studies found higher disease rates than short-term ones. 34. Why is it difficult to prove that sweeteners cause health problems? A. Sweeteners are in such tiny amounts they are hard to measure. B. There are not enough long-term studies to support the findings. C. People choosing sweeteners may already face health conditions. D. Most sweeteners go through the body without leaving any trace. 35. What is the author’s attitude toward sweeteners? A. Concerned. B. Tolerant. C. Optimistic. D. Indifferent. 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。 Feeling overwhelmed? You’re not alone. Between endless meetings, housework, and scrolling through social media, stress accumulates quickly. ____36____ It disrupts sleep, raises heart rates, and weakens immune systems. The good news is: even small and simple actions can help your body reset. Here are four easy ways, supported by science, to try right now. Take five deep breaths Deep breathing lowers blood pressure, slows heart rates, and boosts heart rate variability — a key marker of resilience (恢复力).____37____In fact, controlled breathing is linked to better mood and memory. Short on time? Try this: breathe in for six seconds, then breathe out for six. Keep a steady pace to calm your mind. Hug it out or hold a hand ____38____A quick hug or gentle touch can help your brain release a chemical that makes you feel safe and relaxed. One study found couples who hugged for 20 seconds before a stressful task had lower heart rates and blood pressure than those who didn’t. Step outside for sunlight and fresh air A few minutes in natural light helps reset your body clock, supports vitamin D production, and improves heart rate variability. Time spent in green spaces brings even more benefits, for example, boosting mood. No park nearby?____39____ Take a quick 5-minute walk Walking isn’t just good for physical health.____40____This simple movement boosts blood flow to the part of the brain that helps you focus and solve problems. It also activates a network linked to creativity, making it a double win for clearing your mind. A. Stress doesn’t just affect your mood, though. B. It’s also a proven way to sharpen your thinking. C. Even sitting on the front steps in the sun counts. D. It’s a popular method to boost overall well-being. E. Try maintaining a steady, calm breathing rhythm. F.

The big city robotics contest was just a month away. He was determined to win first prize—a 3D printer—and get his name on the school’s honor wall. Every day after school, he stayed late to work on it. “Your robot’s getting really good at moving around obstacles,” said Maya, his classmate and friend. She was building a mechanical arm at the bench next to him—and she was also his toughest competition. “But I heard Liam from Grade 8 is joining. His parents got him a coach, and his robot can handle all kinds of obstacles.” Liam came second last year, and his family spent lots of money on his robot stuff. “My robot runs on a program I wrote myself,” Jake said, trying to sound confident. But inside, he felt uneasy. His robot’s parts were old, bought with his saved-up pocket money, and couldn’t compare to the latest equipment. Over the next two weeks, Jake and Maya were always the last to leave the tech room. Jake’s robot steadily improved, navigating the practice course more smoothly each day. Maya’s robotic arm could pick up small balls and drop them into boxes with perfect precision. But then, just a week before the contest, Jake’s robot shut down unexpectedly. The screen flashed with error messages. Jake tried extra parts, but the robot still didn’t work. “The controller is damaged. I can’t fix it in time,” he said sadly, setting his tools down in defeat. The next morning, Maya handed him a small, shiny part in a plastic bag. “This is a spare controller my dad gave me,” she said. “It’ll work with your robot. I reprogrammed my arm and don’t need it anymore.” Jake looked up, surprised. “But your arm...” Maya smiled. “Winning is great, but building robots together is even better, right?” Jake installed（安装） the new part. His robot came back to life, ready for the contest once more. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Finally, the long-awaited contest day arrived. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Jake’s face lit up as the principal（校长） handed him the 3D printer. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 参考答案 第1部分 听力（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分） 1～5 ACCAA 6~10 ACABB 11~15 ABAAB 16~20 BABCC 第2部分 阅读（共20小题，每小题2.5分，满分50分） 21.

This event aims to foster cultural understanding and appreciation among students from different backgrounds. The event will feature a variety of activities, including cultural theme exhibitions, language corners and movie screenings that showcase diverse cultures. There will also be workshops and interactive sessions to deepen our cultural insights. We would be thrilled if you could prepare an activity to share British culture with us. This would greatly help Chinese students to better understand and appreciate British culture. Looking forward to your participation and contribution! Best regards, Li Hua 67.（25分） Finally, the long-awaited contest day arrived. Jake’s robot zipped smoothly around chairs and cones, never hitting a thing. Maya’s arm picked up small blocks one by one, dropping them gently into the right boxes. Liam’s robot spotted all obstacles but slowed down halfway and got stuck in the corner at the end. As the judges read the results, Jake’s heart raced. “First place: Jake’s robot!” the principal announced. Jake felt very proud, and then turned to Maya. “I couldn’t have done this without her—she gave me the part I needed.” Everyone clapped. Jake’s face lit up as the principal handed him the 3D printer. After thanking everyone, he told the students, “I’m putting this 3D printer in the tech lab for everyone to use. We can make parts together.” Maya nodded. “Yes! Next year, we’ll build even better robots.” Later, while watching Maya teaching younger students to use the 3D printer, Jake realized—winning was nice, but working together to build robots was better. Like his robot and her arm, they were good on their own, but helping each other made everything better. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
