SQUATS Start with your feet hip-width apart and core tight, then lower your bottom down as if you’re sitting in an invisible chair. Squat all the way down until your knees are bent at 90°. From the squat position, engage your bottom muscles and straighten your legs to stand back up. Repeat. PRESS-UPS Start with your chest and stomach flat on the floor. Your legs should be straight out behind you and your palms at chest level, with your elbows bent at 45°. Push from your hands and heels, bringing your body off the ground. Pause for a moment, then slowly lower by bending your elbows until your chest is just above the floor. Push back up to a high position and repeat. TRICEPS DIPS Sit upright on the edge of a chair or bed and hold the edges either side of your hips. Make sure your fingers are pointed towards your feet and legs extended in front of you. Lift your bottom off the chair and lower yourself down by bending your arms until your elbows are bent between 45° and 90°. Breathe out, then push through the palms of your hands to return to the start position. Repeat. FLUTTER KICKS Lie on your back with your legs extended.

B Martha Siede, who has lived with dystonic cerebral palsy (肌张力障碍型脑瘫) just since she was born, shares her powerful story in the book In Pursuit of “Normal”. As a disabled reader, I was delighted, relieved, and lit up with encouragement and connection while reading this book. I especially appreciated the way Martha lays out our struggles frankly because of how frequently we encounter them. “The hospital is where you would think disabilities would be comfortable and accepted,” she writes, “but it does not work. It is like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.” Martha’s experiences reflected my own frustration there: narrow doorways and crowded spaces that were difficult for me to navigate. Throughout each stage of her life, Martha excels in fair, inclusive environments and struggles greatly otherwise. My preferred adaptation explored in this book is that of clothing companies who advertise by using photos in which models are seated so that wheelchair users can picture how it will look on their bodies. Martha makes a clear, easy-to-follow distinction between when she gets the kind of support that makes her life more equal, and when she does not. Recounting these hardships never feels like a lecture or a reframing of history. Instead, Martha has written something that feels honest and strikes a balance between serious health concerns and conversations where she’s direct about some tough topics. This tone is very true to my experience of living with depression and disability. This book will guide not only disabled people but also their caregivers. A lot of valuable advice and life lessons can be learned from this book. Her candid account of struggles and achievements makes her story a source of inspiration for others, showing that anything is possible with a sense of humor and determination. It’s not just a tale of survival; it’s a testament (证明) to her strength and resolve. 24. Why does the author quote Martha’s words in paragraph 2? A. To arouse readers’ care for the disabled. B. To reveal the poor service of the hospital. C. To show one issue faced by the disabled. D. To explain the cause of Martha’s frustration. 25. What’s the author’s attitude towards using photos of seated models? A. Favorable. B. Critical. C. Uncertain D. Cautious. 26. What does the author think of In Pursuit of “Normal”? A. It is boring but practical. B. It is classic and moving. C. It is confusing but engaging. D. It is inspiring and influential. 27. What does the last paragraph say about the book? A. It is mainly intended for caregivers. B. It is more inspirational than practical. C. It offers both advice and encouragement. D. It focuses on the author’s achievements. C Evan Budz, a 15-year-old boy from Ontario, Canada, is receiving global recognition for his invention: an autonomous bionic (自主仿生的) sea turtle robot. The robot, which uses AI to monitor (监测) ecological systems underwater, won Budz a first-place prize in the European Union Contest for Young Scientists. Budz was inspired to create this project after he observed the fluent movement of a turtle while camping. He saw potential in the way the turtle moved and invented a propulsion (推进) method that copies the swimming motion of green sea turtles in water. Not only is it a unique way to move through the water, but it also has less impact on the very environments that scientists are trying to protect. “Water habitats are important for humanity, and the routine surveying of these environments has become necessary,” Budz explained. “Using a creative bionic robot for such analysis ensures low ecological disruption (生态破坏).” Budz said the robot uses a computer vision imaging system powered by AI to measure coral health, which can detect coral bleaching (珊瑚白化) with 96% correctness. “The information gathered by the robot will ideally allow the right organizations to identify where these threats may be occurring, increasing awareness and supporting efforts to increase the overall health of impacted areas,” Budz said. “For ecological monitoring, I want to trouble the environment as little as possible,” he added. “That’s why I designed the robot to imitate the turtle, which allows it to conduct monitoring without disrupting other living things.” For Budz, it’s just another step in protecting the planet, a cause he has cared about for much of his adolescence. “I’ve been conducting a lot of different research and article reviews, and find that the environment is becoming increasingly more impacted by global warming and other human-caused impacts.” 28. What inspired Evan Budz to invent the autonomous bionic sea turtle robot? A. His desire to get recognition. B. The prize of the contest. C. The movement of a sea animal. D. His passion for AI development. 29. What is a feature of Budz’s robot? A. It’s fast-paced. B. It’s cost-effective. C. It’s energy-saving. D. It’s environment-friendly. 30. What does the underlined word “imitate” mean in paragraph 5? A. Copy. B. Track. C. Control. D. Describe. 31. What is the text mainly about? A. A new method of saving coral reefs. B. A science contest for young inventors. C. A study of green sea turtles’ movement. D. A turtle-inspired robot for ocean monitoring. D Many popular programs promise to increase happiness, but they often require more time and effort than busy people can manage. As a result, most of us find it hard to stick to such demanding routines. This raises an important question: what if becoming happier did not call for a complete change in lifestyle? What if it could start with simple, brief actions that are easy to carry out? To explore the possibility, researchers launched a global online study known as the Big Joy Project, where a large number of participants were asked to complete a daily “micro-act” — a short, easy activity designed to build joy. These acts included listing things they felt grateful for, performing an act of kindness, or watching an inspiring video. Each day, people reported how they felt both before and after the activity, which allowed researchers to track changes in their emotions. The results, based on data from participants from more than 200 countries and regions, showed encouraging changes. After only one week, most people reported noticeable improvements: they experienced more positive feelings, less stress, and even better sleep and physical health. Moreover, the study showed a direct connection between effort and outcome — the more micro-acts a person completed, the greater their increase in happiness turned out to be. Interestingly, these benefits reached everyone, including those facing adversities in life. People with fewer resources or lower social status often reported an even stronger sense of well-being. The project also succeeded in promoting “prosocial” behavior (亲社会行为) — the natural desire to help others and connect with the community. In particular, groups that initially showed less prosocial tendency, such as those in less wealthy regions, demonstrated the most significant growth in this respect. The study suggests that happiness does not necessarily depend on major achievements or external events. Instead, small but intentional acts — such as giving thanks, offering kindness, or taking a moment to appreciate the world — can help individuals actively shape their own emotional well-being. In today’s fast-paced world, these micro-moments of joy provide a practical and powerful way to help people feel lighter, more connected and more satisfied with life. 32. Why was the Big Joy Project launched? A. To compare different acts of kindness. B. To seek an easier way to enhance happiness. C. To test popular long-term happiness programs. D. To promote major changes in people’s lifestyles. 33. What can we learn about the study results? A. Small acts made a difference. B. Happier people did more micro-acts. C. Prosocial growth centered on rich regions. D. Higher status contributed to stronger gains. 34. What is the main function of paragraph 4? A. To present further findings. B. To detail the research process. C. To draw the core conclusion. D. To offer practical suggestions. 35. What can be inferred about happiness from the last paragraph? A. It is mainly determined by one’s social status. B. It can be actively shaped by small intentional acts. C. It requires a complete change in lifestyle to achieve. D. It is more dependent on daily acts than on major achievements. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 You are probably fascinated by incredible competitions like the World Cup. Beyond goals and victories, this got us wondering: Why do some competitions make people feel so happy while others don’t? And how can competition benefit our overall well-being? It turns out that researchers have a lot to say about competition, especially at work. 36 Inter-team competition, for example, tends to unite individuals into a community with a shared goal. Victory depends on supporting one another, pushing teammates to improve and achieve more than they are alone. In the working world, we call this “coopetition” (cooperative competition), which can create an environment where friendly competitors can help each other grow. 37 Coopetition differs from zero-sum thinking, the belief that one person’s gain must come from another person’s loss, which does not allow for a bigger pie. 38 Such competition leads to envy, creating a sense of loneliness and insecurity. It also causes fear of losing, which in turn leads to status anxiety and long-term stress. So how do we bring the magic of coopetition into everyday life? 39 First, a culture of trust — where support is rewarded rather than taken advantage of. Second, positive-sum thinking — where every victory grows the pie for everyone. This means that every win benefits the community. 40 Picture people high-fiving after mutual support, rather than working against others. That’s World Cup level happiness rooted in belonging, not burnout. A. Competition often creates pressure and anxiety. B. Coopetition works only with two key ingredients. C. Competition has a way of bringing people together. D. It improves work quality as they’re in the same boat. E. One person’s success comes at the expense of others. F. It is equally important to root for your share of the pie. G. It increases the size of the pie without taking from other 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Not long ago, my 90-year-old grandma raised a question that caught me off guard.

Public speaking had always been my greatest fear. In class, even reading aloud made my voice tremble. Once, during a group presentation, I froze completely and had to be rescued by my partner. Since then, I had avoided every chance to speak in front of others. But my teacher, Ms. Shirley, looked directly at me and said, “I think you should try.” I wanted to say no, but something in her eyes made me hesitate. Finally, I nodded, immediately regretting it. I spent the next three weeks preparing. My topic was “The Courage to Be Imperfect.” I wrote and rewrote my script at least eight times, practiced in front of the mirror until my family complained, and recorded myself so many times that my phone ran out of storage. Gradually, I could recite every word without looking at my notes. Yet every time I imagined standing on that podium, my throat tightened and my mind went blank. Two days before the contest, I almost quit. “I can’t do this,” I told Ms. Shirley, my voice shaking. “Everyone else is better than me.” She didn’t argue. Instead, she handed me a small card with a single sentence: “Courage is not the absence of fear, but the decision that something else is more important.” That night, I read the card again and again. I thought about how tired I was of being afraid. The next morning, I made a decision: I would not quit — not because I wasn’t scared, but because I was tired of letting fear dominate my life. On the morning of the contest, I walked into the auditorium (礼堂). Hundreds of students filled the seats, and the stage lights were blinding. Contestants from other classes carried thick folders and spoke confidently to one another. My hands were cold; my heart pounded so loudly I was sure everyone could hear it. I found a seat in the corner and silently reviewed my script one last time. 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。 When my name was called, I felt my legs turn to stone. ___________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Before I knew it, I had reached the final sentence of my speech. ___________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
