During breaks, I often stay by myself, even though I really wish I could join others.

I feel like everyone is staring at my face, and I’ve even started avoiding photos and social gatherings because of it. ____29____ Daniel: Whenever I have a big test, I get so nervous that my mind goes blank or my heart races. I know the material when I study, but during the exam, I just panic and forget everything. ____30____ Emma: My teacher seems very serious and busy all the time. I’m worried that if I ask for help, I might bother him. So, I usually stay quiet even when I don’t understand something in class. ____31____ Leo: I find it hard to make new friends at school. I usually stay alone after class and don’t know where to meet people who share the same hobbies as me. I really want to find someone I can talk and study with. A. Before you speak, try taking a moment to think. If you do hurt someone, a sincere and specific apology like “I’m sorry I…” or “that was thoughtless of me” can make a big difference. B.

Try asking your question after class, starting with, “Could I please ask for a quick explanation of...?” This shows you value their time. C. Joining a study group or a club is a great way to make friends and learn from others. You are likely to find students with common interests there. D. Start small. You don’t need a long conversation. Just a “hello,” or a simple question like “Did you enjoy today’s activity?” can be a great first step. E. Skin issues are very common during teenage years. Instead of avoiding social situations, try following a healthy skin care routine and remind yourself that people focus far less on your skin than on who you are. F. Practise deep breathing exercises before the test to calm your nerves. Also, keep in mind that it’s okay to skip a question and come back to it later. B.（12分） Read and choose the best answer.（根据以下内容，选择最恰当的答案。） Winning awards is always exciting, but can you imagine students winning big prizes just for showing up at school? A school in Manchester, UK, offers students rewards including bikes, £100 gift vouchers for their perfect attendance records. The school runs a so-called “rewards shop”, where students can use the credit points they earn to buy raffle tickets and compete for those big prizes. Do you think that is a wise move? Yes—it makes school a lot more appealing Giving pupils prizes for good attendance makes them feel that their efforts are valued. This practice can not only motivate students to go to school regularly, but also help them build a positive attitude towards school life. Besides, when students win prizes, they can share them with their family, which in turn can help create a happier atmosphere at home. Winning a computer for your family or a pizza party for your class is exciting—after all, students couldn’t afford to buy them with pocket money. For many years, schools have used systems like reward points to encourage pupils. Giving prizes is just a creative way to acknowledge a pupil’s hard work and attendance. No—learning matters more than prizes Receiving a good education has its own benefits—it changes your life for the better. You shouldn’t depend on the hope of winning prizes to make you attend. Worse still, this reward system may distract students from their studies. Some students may focus more on prizes or envy their classmates’ rewards than on lessons. Putting in the effort just for the chance to win something might drive students to attend school, but it doesn’t prepare them for the adult world where people are expected to act responsibly. What’s more, offering gifts for good attendance could lead some pupils to go to school even when they’re sick, when they should stay at home and rest. 32. What can students in the UK school use to get raffle tickets for big prizes? A. Pocket money from their family. B. Credit points they earn at school. C. Good exam results in all subjects. D. Letters of praise from teachers. 33. Which of the following is NOT a reward mentioned in the passage? A. A bicycle. B. £100 gift voucher. C. A pizza party for the class. D. A summer camp trip. 34. The underlined word “acknowledge” in the passage probably means ________. A. highlight B. respect C. recognize D. record 35. What is a negative effect of giving big prizes for attendance mentioned in the passage? A. Students may spend too much time choosing prizes. B. It may cause jealousy among students. C. Schools might run out of money to buy prizes. D. Teachers will have to organize the reward system. 36. What is the main focus of the passage? A. To compare different reward systems in UK schools. B. To discuss whether schools should give prizes for good attendance. C. To explain how “rewards shops” work in Manchester. D. To argue that going to school has its own benefits. 37. Based on the passage, which of the following would the author most probably agree with? A. Rewarding attendance with expensive prizes is harmful to students’ motivation. B. Schools should focus only on academic achievements rather than on attendance rates. C. Though rewards may improve attendance, they should not take away from the point of going to school. D. Giving small prizes is acceptable, but large prizes like bikes are improper and should be stopped. C.（20分） Choose the best answer to complete the passage.（选择最恰当的选项完成短文。） Why do most people choose to stay with their current employer? The answer usually depends on their age, life circumstances (生活情况), and personal motivations. A recent survey on our website asked the same question. The ____38____ reason for staying with an employer was the nature of the work and job satisfaction. Coming in a close second were flexible schedules and work-life balance. Next were the work environment and corporate culture, followed by advancement (晋升) opportunities and personal growth. Salary and benefits were the least important. Is it ____39____ that salary comes last on this list? Not really. Salary and benefits do not usually make it into the first three reasons for job satisfaction in such surveys. Most people know they could earn more money elsewhere, but it’s not enough to get them to leave a job they like. Advancement is not what people value most, either. That’s probably because so many people think that moving up can make life on the job more ____40____. The only thing one gets in return is more money. So what ____41____ job satisfaction? One typical answer is “I like to be challenged”. People who say this like to work towards ____42____. They like new challenging assignments so that they can test their skills and creativity. Another typical answer is “I like to feel I’m making a contribution”. ____43____, many people get a sense of community when they are working with a group of co-workers towards a(n) ____44____ goal. It is very important for them to have close, friendly relationships with co-workers, and they will do better when others ____45____ their efforts. Finally, there are those who say “I get satisfaction from a job well done”. Such people love the technical work they do; they feel proud of the results of their efforts. These people have high standards of quality and work best when they have control over a project. They will try harder ____46____ others know about the work they have done. Basically, the main reason why people work is to earn money, but it is not money that gives them satisfaction. ____47____ employees with more than money, and you are likely to get more from them. 38. A. top B. actual C. good D. possible 39. A. improper B. unclear C. unusual D. usual 40. A. comfortable B. stressful C. meaningful D. exciting 41. A. stops B. creates C. prevents D. expresses 42. A. holidays B. wages C. changes D. goals 43. A. As a result B. For example C. In addition D. In fact 44. A. ideal B. common C. familiar D. ambitious 45. A. doubt B. check C. appreciate D. celebrate 46. A. where B. whether C. who D. when 47. A. Offer B. Reward C. Promise D. Teach D.（16分） Read the passage and complete the tasks. (根据短文内容完成任务。) During Ben Cloud’s second year in high school, he took a few business classes. They sparked his interest and filled his head with ideas to start his own business. He started by naturally thinking about things he liked. First, it was clothing. Then coffee. He thought about opening a coffee shop or a clothing shop. But both ideas seemed too hard and costly. Some might stop right there and keep going about their regular life. But Ben is different. He kept thinking and came up with the idea of selling his own brand of coffee. He felt like there were possibilities to do this without too much money or risk. So he turned to the internet and started doing research. He finally found a coffee bean supplier. He had to learn about all of the legalities (法律方面) of starting a business. They seemed difficult to him but he never gave up. To set up his own business, Ben began testing different versions of beans with his friends and family, getting the feedback and improving his products. He only had a little bit of savings from his birthdays and part-time jobs over the years, but he didn’t want to borrow money to start his business. Without enough money, he bartered with designers to help him with his logo, product pictures, and website design. He would supply them with coffee in exchange for their design talent! Six months later, he managed to set up his website for selling coffee. After launching (正式推出) his website, Ben started to sell his coffee at his local high school coffee shop, then a restaurant, and then local shops. Ben is now working on expanding (扩大) sales of his coffee to grocery stores and more in his local community. He does have plans to expand nationally. Ben Cloud is an excellent example of a young person pushing himself to become the best he can be.
