第一节(共12小题;每小题2.5分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Last week I met with a friend from high school. She mentioned how her parents had been checking up on her constantly with Life360, a location-sharing app used for parental monitoring, demanding photo evidence of where she was and who she was with. She felt overwhelmed as a 19-year-old college student. As much as I felt sorry for her, I was actually short on advice.
As one of five kids in a big family, I, along with my brothers and sisters, was given plenty of space to be myself. We were allowed to explore and find adventure. We ran through the woods and created our own imaginary worlds. If we got hurt, one of us would find help, and our parents were always there.
I knew what it was like to make mistakes and learn from them. Once my cousins and I painted the floor of a big lodge at our summer camp red to scare the other kids. Our parents found out soon after and made us fix up the whole room. I learned then that our choices, which came with freedom, held consequences. Finally, I grew up exposed to the outside world and learned various principles of life.
As I got older, adventures began to turn into “I’m going to take a trip with my friend Emily this weekend.” My parents trusted me, and I felt the incredible joy and responsibility that accompanied that. Before I left the house, my mom always said, “Remember who you are.” And because of the independence I was given, I did.
Growing up, I’ve observed that most of my friends with overprotective parents are more vulnerable than those without. Children are only able to grow when they’re allowed to. Now, as a college student, I am more than thankful for the freedom and trust my family has given me.
1. What troubled the author’s friend?
A. Messed-up personal life. B. Tight parental control.
C. The busy college schedules. D. The heavy family atmosphere.
2. What do the author’s parents think is key to raising children?
A. Allowing children time in nature. B. Being emotionally available.
C. Providing help when needed. D. Attaching importance to safety.
3. What did the author’s mother mean by “Remember who you are”?
A. Do not lose your identity. B. Stay connected with your families.
C. Never forget your past experiences. D. Be mindful of your character and values.
4. What lesson does the author intend to tell?
A. Rome wasn’t built in a day. B. Every coin has two sides.
C. Trust clears way for growth. D. East or west, home is best.
【答案】1. B 2. C 3. D 4. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述作者通过自身成长经历,论证父母给予孩子信任与自由才是助力孩子成长的核心。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“She mentioned how her parents had been checking up on her constantly with Life360, a location-sharing app used for parental monitoring, demanding photo evidence of where she was and who she was with.(她提到自己的父母一直用名为Life360的位置共享监控软件持续核查她的行踪,要求她提供照片证明自己所在的位置和同行的人)”可知,困扰作者朋友的是父母过度的、严苛的管控。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“If we got hurt, one of us would find help, and our parents were always there.(如果我们受伤了,我们之中会有人去寻求帮助,而我们的父母永远会在那里等候支援我们)”可知,作者的父母养育孩子的核心理念是给足孩子探索空间,只在孩子真正需要的时候提供支持与帮助。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“My parents trusted me, and I felt the incredible joy and responsibility that accompanied that.(我的父母信任我,我也感受到了这份信任所附带的难以言喻的喜悦与责任感)”和前文作者在自由探索中学会为自己的选择负责的经历可知,母亲说的“记住你是谁”,是提醒作者要时刻留意坚守自己的品格与秉持的正确价值观。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Children are only able to grow when they’re allowed to. Now, as a college student, I am more than thankful for the freedom and trust my family has given me.(孩子只有在被允许自主探索的前提下,才能真正获得成长。现在作为一名大学生,我无比感激我的家人曾给予我的自由与信任)”可知,作者想要传递的核心道理是父母给予的信任会为孩子的成长扫清障碍。

Chimpanzees (大猩猩) share many characteristics with us, such as the use of tools and social structures. However, a new report by researchers from the University of Exeter reveals another surprising parallel.
In Guinea-Bissau’s Cantanhez National Park, the researchers have managed to film wild chimpanzees eating and sharing the naturally fermented (已发酵的) African breadfruit containing alcohol on 10 different occasions. Cameras caught chimpanzees gathering around African breadfruit trees, happily eating the fruit and passing it around.
Later tests revealed that the fruit contained alcohol — the same thing found in beer and wine — with levels reaching up to 0.61% ABV (alcohol by volume). The footage also revealed that 90% of the shared, more valuable fruit was more fermented than the less-desired 10% that was simply ripe. This suggests that the chimpanzees may have a preference for the fruit with alcohol.
Interestingly, they seemed to enjoy sharing the experience with others in their group rather than keeping the best fruit to themselves. In several cases, there was enough fruit around for the chimpanzees to each choose and eat their own, but instead they shared. The research team doesn’t know exactly why the chimpanzees are doing any of this, and whether they experience any noticeable effects after eating the fermented fruit, though they probably don’t end up as red-faced as some humans do. But since chimpanzees are similar in many ways to humans, it very well could be that this is as much about socializing as it is about the fermented food.
This interesting discovery not only sheds light on chimpanzee behavior but, given our close evolutionary ties, also offers valuable insights into the ancient traditions of humans. “Social eating and alcohol consumption make up two key parts of party behavior in humans,” say the researchers. “But does our party behavior come from a shared origin? The data provide the first evidence for fermented food sharing and feeding by wild chimpanzees, and support the idea that the use of alcohol by humans is not recent but rather has existed throughout our evolutionary history.”
5. What does the underlined word “parallel” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Possibility. B. Similarity. C. Connection. D. Addition.
6. What is the primary finding from the cameras in the Cantanhez National Park?
A. Chimpanzees share and consume alcohol-containing fruits.
B. Chimpanzees can tell the difference between different fruits.
C. Chimpanzees are able to harvest fermented fruits with tools.
D. Chimpanzees have a preference for eating and living together.
7. Why might chimpanzees share fermented fruits?
A. They want to soften the alcohol’s impact.
B. This is their imitation of human behavior.
C. They regard it as a way of social bonding.
D. The fermented fruit may be rare for them.
8. What does the discovery of chimpanzees suggest about human behavior?
A. Humans have a tradition of sharing alcohol with others.
B. Human use of alcohol may have deep evolutionary roots.
C. Social eating behavior is entirely unique to human beings.
D. Party behavior may be very important to human evolution.
【答案】5. B 6. A 7. C 8. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述研究发现野生黑猩猩会食用并分享含酒精的发酵果实,暗示人类饮酒行为可能有着深远的进化根源。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Chimpanzees (大猩猩) share many characteristics with us, such as the use of tools and social structures. However, a new report by researchers from the University of Exeter reveals another surprising parallel. (黑猩猩与我们共享许多特征,比如使用工具和社会结构。然而,埃克塞特大学研究人员的一份新报告揭示了另一个令人惊讶的parallel。)”可知,前文说黑猩猩与人类有许多共同特征,此处又说“另一个令人惊讶的parallel”,说明是指黑猩猩和人类之间的又一处“相似之处”,故 parallel 意为 similarity(相似性)。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“In Guinea-Bissau’s Cantanhez National Park, the researchers have managed to film wild chimpanzees eating and sharing the naturally fermented (已发酵的) African breadfruit containing alcohol on 10 different occasions. (在几内亚比绍的坎坦赫斯国家公园,研究人员成功拍摄到野生黑猩猩在10个不同场合食用并分享含有酒精的天然发酵非洲面包果。)”可知,摄像机的主要发现是黑猩猩分享并食用含酒精的果实。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“But since chimpanzees are similar in many ways to humans, it very well could be that this is as much about socializing as it is about the fermented food. (但由于黑猩猩在许多方面与人类相似,这很可能既关乎发酵食物,也同样关乎社交。)”以及第五段提到“Social eating and alcohol consumption make up two key parts of party behavior in humans (社交进食和饮酒构成了人类聚会行为的两个关键部分)”可知,黑猩猩分享发酵果实是一种社交联结的方式。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The data provide the first evidence for fermented food sharing and feeding by wild chimpanzees, and support the idea that the use of alcohol by humans is not recent but rather has existed throughout our evolutionary history. (这些数据为野生黑猩猩分享和食用发酵食物提供了首个证据,并支持这样一种观点:人类对酒精的使用并非近代才有,而是贯穿了我们整个进化历史。)”可知,该发现表明人类使用酒精可能有深远的进化根源。
C
A free online platform that allows speakers to practice in front of thousands of virtual audience has been launched to help those who feel anxious when presenting to an audience. Dr Chris Macdonald, the founder of the online platform, said, “Most people have some form of speech anxiety, but very few people are seeking help. So what I was trying to do with this project was to fix this problem. The platform — which includes learning materials, feedback tools and virtual scenes such as job interviews — can be accessed through a laptop or a VR headset or via a smartphone.”
The Virtual Reality Public Speaking platform employs exposure therapy — the idea that facing fears can help reduce them — combined with breathing exercises and eye movements that help slow the heart rate and reduce the fear response. People using the technology can practise speaking in various virtual reality (VR) settings, from an empty classroom to a hall of 10,000 audience, with the option to add distractions, such as flashing cameras and loud noises. Macdonald said the latter was an example of “overexposure therapy”.
A recent study published by Macdonald in the journal Frontiers in Virtual Reality suggests the platform could be beneficial. The research involved 29 teenagers from China, who each undertook 30 minutes of training in which they alternated between using the VR system and practising a simple breathing exercise, after which they delivered a prepared one-minute speech in English to 34 people in real life. The percentage of anxious speakers dropped from 65% to 20%, while confident speakers rose from 31% to 79%. More students said they enjoyed public speaking after using the platform.
But Dr Matteo Cella, a psychologist who was not involved in the work, said there was a potential risk — overexposure could strengthen people’s avoidance of public speaking. “There is a lot of enthusiasm and problem-solving energy from digital innovators to address important mental health challenges in our society, but unfortunately, many products have poor use and short lives due to their very rapid development and limited support,” he said.
9. What does “overexposure therapy” refer to in the context of the platform?
A. Avoiding public speaking to reduce stress. B. Using only breathing exercises without VR.
C. Practising in extremely challenging virtual settings. D. Repeating the same speech multiple times.
10. What did Dr Macdonald’s study reveal about the platform?
A. It worked better for adults than teenagers.
B. It required daily practice to show obvious effects.
C. It removed speech anxiety completely in teenagers.
D. It helped users increase confidence and reduce anxiety.
11. What is Dr Matteo Cella’s attitude towards the platform?
A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Concerned. D. Indifferent.
12. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Online VR Tool Helps People Overcome Speech Nerves
B. Overexposure Therapy Increases the Fear of Public Speaking
C. VR Platform Offers New Ways to Learn Speech
D. Breathing Exercises Can Cure Speech Anxiety
【答案】9. C 10. D 11. C 12. A
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍一款VR线上平台帮助人们克服演讲焦虑,介绍其原理、实验效果与专家担忧。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“People using the technology can practise speaking in various virtual reality (VR) settings, from an empty classroom to a hall of 10,000 audience, with the option to add distractions, such as flashing cameras and loud noises. Macdonald said the latter was an example of “overexposure therapy”.(使用这项技术的人可以在各种虚拟现实场景中练习演讲,从空教室到拥有一万名观众的大厅,还可以添加闪光灯、嘈杂噪音等干扰项。麦克唐纳博士称后者就是“过度暴露疗法”的例子。)” 可知,overexposure therapy指在极具挑战性的虚拟环境里练习演讲。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The percentage of anxious speakers dropped from 65% to 20%, while confident speakers rose from 31% to 79%. More students said they enjoyed public speaking after using the platform.(焦虑演讲者的占比从65%下降至20%,自信演讲者占比从31%上升至79%。更多学生表示使用平台之后喜欢上公开演讲。)” 可知,该平台帮助使用者减少焦虑、提升自信。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“But Dr Matteo Cella, a psychologist who was not involved in the work, said there was a potential risk — overexposure could strengthen people’s avoidance of public speaking.(但未参与这项研究的心理学家马泰奥·切拉博士表示存在潜在风险——过度暴露可能会加重人们对公开演讲的逃避心理。)” 可知,他对这个平台持担忧的态度。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一段引出主题,介绍了一个旨在帮助人们克服公众演讲焦虑的免费在线VR平台;第二、三段详细介绍了该平台的运作原理(暴露疗法)及其实际成效(降低焦虑、提升自信);第四段补充了其他专家的担忧。综合来看,全文的核心是在探讨“在线VR工具帮助人们克服演讲紧张”,选项A“在线VR工具帮助人们克服演讲紧张”为最佳标题。

Sustaining Motivation in Academic Life
Motivation drives goal achievement, but senior high students often struggle to maintain it under heavy academic pressure. Many often fall into the trap of setting unrealistic goals. ____13____ Fortunately, there are useful strategies to help you stay motivated and navigate through challenges effectively.
Start by setting SMART objectives. ____14____ Transforming them into Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound (限时的) goals provides a structured path forward. For example, a short-term goal could be improving math scores by 15% in two months through daily practice. Such clarity enables precise progress tracking and breaks down overwhelming ambitions into actionable steps.
____15____ Positivity can be passed on to others, while negative environments take away your motivation. Surround yourself with peers who attach great importance to academic growth — studies show students in motivated groups can stick to tasks 30% longer. Their consistent encouragement helps you stay committed during challenging hardships.
A further critical strategy lies in redefining failure as learning. Instead of viewing mistakes as setbacks, see them as growth opportunities. When scoring poorly on a test, analyze errors rather than blame yourself. For example, if your composition has weak points, you will know what to correct. ____16____
Finally, take advantage of internal motivation. External pressures like parental expectations fade, but inner passion lasts. Reflect on whether your goals originate from genuine interest or merely mirror others’ expectations. ____17____ Take careful notice when there is a misfit, for goals rooted in personal values, such as pursuing biology to advance medical research, foster unwavering (坚定不移的) commitment.
A. Each essay revision moves you closer to perfection.
B. Such objectives will give rise to long-term frustration.
C. Forming study groups can help share learning resources.
D. Setting overly simple goals can make you lose interest quickly.
E. Equally significant is constructing a mutually supportive network.
F. This helps reveal if they match your values for timely adjustments.
G. Loose goals like “getting into a good university” lack clear explanation.
【答案】13. B 14. G 15. E 16. A 17. F
【解析】
【导语】本文分析高中生学业压力下难以保持学习动力的问题,介绍四种方法:设定SMART目标、搭建互助圈子、把失败当作学习、依靠内在学习动力。
【13题详解】
根据上文“Motivation drives goal achievement, but senior high students often struggle to maintain it under heavy academic pressure. Many often fall into the trap of setting unrealistic goals.(动力推动着目标的实现,但高中生在巨大的学业压力下往往难以保持这种动力。许多人常常陷入设定不切实际目标的陷阱中)”以及后文“Fortunately, there are useful strategies to help you stay motivated and navigate through challenges effectively.(幸运的是,有一些实用的策略可以帮助你保持动力,并有效应对各种挑战)”可知,空前提到高中生常陷入设定不切实际目标的误区,B项“这类目标会引发长期的挫败感”承接上文不合理目标的不良后果,和后文引出解决策略的内容衔接自然。
【14题详解】
根据后文“Transforming them into Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound (限时的) goals provides a structured path forward. For example, a short-term goal could be improving math scores by 15% in two months through daily practice. Such clarity enables precise progress tracking and breaks down overwhelming ambitions into actionable steps.(将目标转化为具体、可衡量、可实现、相关且有时间限制(限时)的目标,能提供一条清晰的前进路径。例如,一个短期目标可以是通过每日练习,在两个月内将数学成绩提高15%。这种明确性有助于精确跟踪进展,并将艰巨的远大目标分解为可执行的具体步骤)”以及本段核心是设定SMART目标,空后说明要把目标转化为具体、可衡量等的SMART形式,G项“像‘考上好大学’这类宽泛的目标缺乏清晰界定”对应后文指出的模糊目标的问题,引出SMART目标的必要性。
【15题详解】
根据后文“Positivity can be passed on to others, while negative environments take away your motivation. Surround yourself with peers who attach great importance to academic growth — studies show students in motivated groups can stick to tasks 30% longer. Their consistent encouragement helps you stay committed during challenging hardships.(积极的态度可以传递给他人,而消极的环境则会削弱你的动力。请身边围绕着重视学业进步的同学——研究表明,在充满动力的群体中,学生完成任务的时间可延长30%。他们持续不断的鼓励能帮助你在困难时刻保持坚持)”可知,空后内容强调积极的同伴环境能传递正能量、维持动力,E项“同样重要的是构建一个互相支持的社交网络”作为本段主题句,精准概括本段营造正向学习社群的核心内容。
【16题详解】
根据上文“A further critical strategy lies in redefining failure as learning. Instead of viewing mistakes as setbacks, see them as growth opportunities. When scoring poorly on a test, analyze errors rather than blame yourself. For example, if your composition has weak points, you will know what to correct.(另一个关键策略是将失败重新定义为学习。不要把错误视为挫折,而应将其看作成长的机会。当考试成绩不理想时,应分析错误而非责怪自己。例如,如果作文存在薄弱之处,你就会知道该怎样修改)”可知,空前举例提到作文存在不足时要明确需要修正的地方,A项“每一次作文修改都能让你更接近完美”承接作文纠错的例子,呼应把失败视作成长机会的段落主旨。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Finally, take advantage of internal motivation. External pressures like parental expectations fade, but inner passion lasts. Reflect on whether your goals originate from genuine interest or merely mirror others’ expectations.(最后,要善用内在动力。外部压力如父母的期望会逐渐淡去,但内心的热忱却能持久。反思一下你的目标是否源于真正的兴趣,还是仅仅反映了他人的期待)”以及后文“Take careful notice when there is a misfit, for goals rooted in personal values, such as pursuing biology to advance medical research, foster unwavering (坚定不移的) commitment.(当出现不协调时,务必仔细留意,因为基于个人价值观的目标,例如追求生物学以推动医学研究,会培养坚定不移的承诺)”可知,空前提到要反思目标是源于自身兴趣还是仅迎合他人期待,空后提醒要留意目标的错位,F项“这有助于明确目标是否符合你的价值观,以便及时调整”承接反思的动作,衔接后文基于个人价值观确立目标的内容。

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。
In a community music class, ten teenagers from eight different countries gathered with traditional instruments. My Spanish guitar stood beside Maria’s Chinese erhu and Samuel’s West African djembe (金鼓杯). Our first attempt to play together ____18____ a terrible mixture of conflicting scales (音阶) and rhythms, creating an atmosphere thick with ____19____.
Our instructor, Ms. Davies, ____20____ a simple but profound instruction: “Listen,” she urged, “Do not merely play; seek to understand the story within each other’s music.” Instead of ____21____ our traditions, we each taught a short musical phrase from our culture. ____22____, my guitar’s flamenco riff clashed (与……不协调) with the erhu’s melancholy, while the djembe’s complex rhythms confused us. However, as we gradually learned to play each other’s phrases, ____23____ occurred. We began to listen more deeply, moving beyond the ____24____ to understand the musician behind them. Samuel’s drum pattern ____25____ life; Maria’s erhu expressed longing; my guitar ____26____ raw emotion.
Ms. Davies then helped ____27____ these elements together. The erhu’s call became a question answered by the guitar’s passion, supported by the djembe’s steady rhythm. We didn’t blend into uniformity; each sound remained ____28____, creating a global tapestry (织锦) where every culture was highlighted.
Our final performance, though ____29____, earned thunderous applause. We discovered true harmony doesn’t require ____30____ notes, but respect for different voices and recognition of ____31____ human emotions. That day, music became more than sound; it became a bridge, and we were its ____32____.

【23题详解】
考查名词。句意:然而随着我们慢慢学会演奏彼此的片段,一场转变就此发生了。A. transformation转变、蜕变;B. motivation动力;C. exploration探索;D. evolution进化。前文“my guitar’s flamenco riff clashed (与……不协调) with the erhu’s melancholy, while the djembe’s complex rhythms confused us.”是大家完全合不上拍的混乱状态,后文“We began to listen more deeply, moving beyond the ____ to understand the musician behind them.”是大家开始深度倾听、读懂彼此音乐里的情绪,前后发生了彻底的正向转变。
【24题详解】
考查名词。句意:我们开始更深入地倾听,跳出音符本身,去读懂音符背后那个演奏者的心意。A. songs歌曲;B. notes音符;C. words歌词;D. lines台词。根据后文“to understand the musician behind them”可知,此处描述大家不再只盯着乐谱上的单个音符,而是去理解音乐背后的情感,notes是音乐场景里指代乐谱音符的标准用词,完全贴合语境。
【25题详解】
考查动词。句意:塞缪尔的鼓点节奏歌颂着鲜活的生命力;玛丽亚的二胡倾诉着绵长的思念;我的吉他承载着最原始直白的情绪。A. exchanged交换;B. celebrated歌颂、赞美;C. impressed给……留下深刻印象;D. produced生产。根据前文“Samuel’s drum pattern”可知,鼓点充满力量感,传递出对鲜活生命的热烈赞颂,celebrate life表示“歌颂生命”。
【26题详解】

【27题详解】

【28题详解】
考查形容词。句意:我们没有把所有声音混成一模一样的单调效果,每一种乐器的音色都保持着自己独有的辨识度,最终织就了一张每一种文化都被重点凸显的全球音乐织锦。A. confusing令人困惑的;B. plain平淡的;C. distinct独特的、有辨识度的;D. amusing有趣的。根据前文“We didn’t blend into uniformity”的反向描述可知,每一种乐器的声音都保留了自己独有的特色。
【29题详解】
考查形容词。句意:我们最终的演出尽管算不上完美,还是赢得了雷鸣般的掌声。A. imperfect不完美的;B. horrible糟糕透顶的;C. striking引人注目的;D. romantic浪漫的。这群青少年只是经过短暂磨合的业余学习者,最终的合奏不可能做到专业级的完美,结合“though”可知imperfect完全符合客观现实逻辑,也和后文“earned thunderous applause”依然收获热烈掌声形成合理的反差。
【30题详解】
考查形容词。句意:我们发现真正的和谐不需要完全一模一样的音符,而是要尊重不同的声音,认可全人类共通的情感。A. classical经典的;B. practical实用的;C. identical完全相同的;D. typical典型的。前文“We didn’t blend into uniformity”明确提到大家没有把不同乐器的声音混成一模一样的效果,此处对应点明真正的和谐不需要所有音符完全趋同。

考查形容词。句意:我们发现真正的和谐不需要完全一模一样的音符,而是要尊重不同的声音,认可全人类共通的情感。A. positive积极的;B. shared共通的、共享的;C. mixed混杂的;D. creative有创造力的。根据文章首句“In a community music class, ten teenagers from eight different countries gathered with traditional instruments.”可知,来自八个不同国家的青少年能通过音乐彼此理解,核心就是大家拥有跨越文化壁垒的共通人类情感,shared human emotions,表示“全人类共通的情感”。
【32题详解】
考查名词。句意:那一天,音乐不再只是声音,它变成了一座桥梁,而我们就是这座桥梁的建筑师。A. archaeologist考古学家;B. architects建筑师;C. authority权威;D. audiences观众。根据前文“That day, music became more than sound; it became a bridge”可知,此处用比喻的手法,把搭建起跨文化音乐桥梁的这群青少年,比作亲手建造这座桥梁的建筑师。

第二节(满分25分)
59. 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。
On the morning of his 1, 500-meter race at the 1968 Games, the determined runner Kip Keino of Kenya found himself in a rather awful situation. He was seated in the backseat of a somewhat shabby taxi, making his way to the Olympic Stadium in the bustling city of Mexico City.
He was understandably worried. The city was in the grip of a massive traffic congestion. Everywhere he looked, there were traffic jams stretching as far as the eye could see. The honking(按喇叭)of horns filled the air, creating a chaotic symphony. His taxi, a small vehicle amidst the sea of larger cars, buses, and other taxis, was barely inching forward.
Keino, with a furrowed brow, kept looking ahead at the long line of cars, buses, and taxis in front of him. The vehicles were bumper-to-bumper, and the drivers seemed frustrated, some impatiently drumming their fingers on the steering wheels.
It was an hour before his race, and he took a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves. As time ticked away, it became fifty minutes, and he could feel a sense of unease creeping up on him. The taxi moved a few more meters, but the progress was extremely slow. Forty minutes passed, and he started to tap his foot nervously on the floor of the taxi. The traffic showed no signs of letting up. Then, it was twenty minutes before the race. Keino’s heart began to pound a bit faster. He could see people on the sidewalks, some of them wearing Olympic-themed clothing, walking towards the stadium with excited expressions. Meanwhile, he was still stuck in the traffic.
Finally, it was only ten minutes before the start of the race. And to his disappointment, the taxi was still a full 2 kilometers from the stadium. Considering the current traffic situation, the distance seemed almost impossible to cover. What’s worse, earlier that morning, even before getting into the taxi, he had been worried that the pain in his stomach might affect his performance.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
After a moment’s thought, however, Keino made a decision.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When Keino hurriedly ran into the stadium, other players were ready for the race.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Version 1:
After a moment’s thought, however, Keino made a decision. He could not afford to wait any longer. Paying the fare, he flung the door open and began sprinting through the stagnant sea of vehicles. His stomach tightened with a familiar, sharp pain, but he gritted his teeth and pushed forward, weaving between cars and dodging surprised pedestrians. His breathing was labored, not just from the effort, but from the anxiety of potentially missing the race of his life. The honking horns faded into a dull roar, replaced by the pounding of his own heart and the rhythm of his frantic footsteps on the pavement.
When Keino hurriedly ran into the stadium, other players were ready for the race. They were already in their lanes, performing final stretches, their faces masks of concentration. A murmur of surprise rippled through the crowd as Kenyan, drenched in sweat and breathing heavily, rushed onto the track. Keino’s chest heaved, his stomach ached, but as he stood on the track, a strange calm settled over him. The chaotic journey was over. Now, there was only the race. The starter’s pistol cracked, and Keino launched himself forward, his late arrival fueling a fierce, almost desperate energy.
Version 2:
After a moment’s thought, however, Keino made a decision. He couldn’t wait any longer. Leaving some money to the driver, he opened the door and sprang into action. He began to run, not a jog but a determined sprint, weaving through the crowded sidewalks. The sharp, familiar pain in his stomach flared up with each step, but he gritted his teeth and pushed forward. The vibrant city became a blur as he focused on the distant stadium. His breathing was labored in the high-altitude air, yet his mind was clear: he had to make it to the starting line. This two-kilometer dash was an unplanned, painful prelude to his real race, a test of his will even before the competition began.
When Keino hurriedly ran into the stadium, other players were ready for the race. He arrived just in time, breathless and sweating. With no time to warm up, he quickly pinned on his number and took his place on the track. The gun fired, and the race was on. His main rival, the top favorite, set a fierce pace. For most of the race, Keino clung on, battling the piercing pain in his stomach. Then, on the final lap, something incredible happened. Drawing upon a deep reserve of spirit, he surged ahead with a powerful kick, leaving his competitors behind. He crossed the finish line first, not just winning the gold medal but also setting a new Olympic record. His victory that day became a timeless lesson: that the greatest triumphs are not merely over opponents on the track, but over the obstacles within and the circumstances without, reminding us that a champion’s heart can turn any moment of despair into a defining moment of glory.

第一节(共12小题;每小题2.5分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Last week I met with a friend from high school. She mentioned how her parents had been checking up on her constantly with Life360, a location-sharing app used for parental monitoring, demanding photo evidence of where she was and who she was with. She felt overwhelmed as a 19-year-old college student. As much as I felt sorry for her, I was actually short on advice.
As one of five kids in a big family, I, along with my brothers and sisters, was given plenty of space to be myself. We were allowed to explore and find adventure. We ran through the woods and created our own imaginary worlds. If we got hurt, one of us would find help, and our parents were always there.
I knew what it was like to make mistakes and learn from them. Once my cousins and I painted the floor of a big lodge at our summer camp red to scare the other kids. Our parents found out soon after and made us fix up the whole room. I learned then that our choices, which came with freedom, held consequences. Finally, I grew up exposed to the outside world and learned various principles of life.
As I got older, adventures began to turn into “I’m going to take a trip with my friend Emily this weekend.” My parents trusted me, and I felt the incredible joy and responsibility that accompanied that. Before I left the house, my mom always said, “Remember who you are.” And because of the independence I was given, I did.
Growing up, I’ve observed that most of my friends with overprotective parents are more vulnerable than those without. Children are only able to grow when they’re allowed to. Now, as a college student, I am more than thankful for the freedom and trust my family has given me.

Chimpanzees (大猩猩) share many characteristics with us, such as the use of tools and social structures. However, a new report by researchers from the University of Exeter reveals another surprising parallel.
In Guinea-Bissau’s Cantanhez National Park, the researchers have managed to film wild chimpanzees eating and sharing the naturally fermented (已发酵的) African breadfruit containing alcohol on 10 different occasions. Cameras caught chimpanzees gathering around African breadfruit trees, happily eating the fruit and passing it around.
Later tests revealed that the fruit contained alcohol — the same thing found in beer and wine — with levels reaching up to 0.61% ABV (alcohol by volume). The footage also revealed that 90% of the shared, more valuable fruit was more fermented than the less-desired 10% that was simply ripe. This suggests that the chimpanzees may have a preference for the fruit with alcohol.
Interestingly, they seemed to enjoy sharing the experience with others in their group rather than keeping the best fruit to themselves. In several cases, there was enough fruit around for the chimpanzees to each choose and eat their own, but instead they shared. The research team doesn’t know exactly why the chimpanzees are doing any of this, and whether they experience any noticeable effects after eating the fermented fruit, though they probably don’t end up as red-faced as some humans do. But since chimpanzees are similar in many ways to humans, it very well could be that this is as much about socializing as it is about the fermented food.
This interesting discovery not only sheds light on chimpanzee behavior but, given our close evolutionary ties, also offers valuable insights into the ancient traditions of humans. “Social eating and alcohol consumption make up two key parts of party behavior in humans,” say the researchers. “But does our party behavior come from a shared origin? The data provide the first evidence for fermented food sharing and feeding by wild chimpanzees, and support the idea that the use of alcohol by humans is not recent but rather has existed throughout our evolutionary history.”
5. What does the underlined word “parallel” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Possibility. B. Similarity. C. Connection. D. Addition.
6. What is the primary finding from the cameras in the Cantanhez National Park?
A. Chimpanzees share and consume alcohol-containing fruits.
B. Chimpanzees can tell the difference between different fruits.
C. Chimpanzees are able to harvest fermented fruits with tools.
D. Chimpanzees have a preference for eating and living together.
7. Why might chimpanzees share fermented fruits?
A. They want to soften the alcohol’s impact.
B. This is their imitation of human behavior.
C. They regard it as a way of social bonding.
D. The fermented fruit may be rare for them.
8. What does the discovery of chimpanzees suggest about human behavior?
A. Humans have a tradition of sharing alcohol with others.
B. Human use of alcohol may have deep evolutionary roots.
C. Social eating behavior is entirely unique to human beings.
D. Party behavior may be very important to human evolution.

A free online platform that allows speakers to practice in front of thousands of virtual audience has been launched to help those who feel anxious when presenting to an audience. Dr Chris Macdonald, the founder of the online platform, said, “Most people have some form of speech anxiety, but very few people are seeking help. So what I was trying to do with this project was to fix this problem. The platform — which includes learning materials, feedback tools and virtual scenes such as job interviews — can be accessed through a laptop or a VR headset or via a smartphone.”
The Virtual Reality Public Speaking platform employs exposure therapy — the idea that facing fears can help reduce them — combined with breathing exercises and eye movements that help slow the heart rate and reduce the fear response. People using the technology can practise speaking in various virtual reality (VR) settings, from an empty classroom to a hall of 10,000 audience, with the option to add distractions, such as flashing cameras and loud noises. Macdonald said the latter was an example of “overexposure therapy”.
A recent study published by Macdonald in the journal Frontiers in Virtual Reality suggests the platform could be beneficial. The research involved 29 teenagers from China, who each undertook 30 minutes of training in which they alternated between using the VR system and practising a simple breathing exercise, after which they delivered a prepared one-minute speech in English to 34 people in real life. The percentage of anxious speakers dropped from 65% to 20%, while confident speakers rose from 31% to 79%. More students said they enjoyed public speaking after using the platform.
But Dr Matteo Cella, a psychologist who was not involved in the work, said there was a potential risk — overexposure could strengthen people’s avoidance of public speaking. “There is a lot of enthusiasm and problem-solving energy from digital innovators to address important mental health challenges in our society, but unfortunately, many products have poor use and short lives due to their very rapid development and limited support,” he said.
9. What does “overexposure therapy” refer to in the context of the platform?
A. Avoiding public speaking to reduce stress. B. Using only breathing exercises without VR.
C. Practising in extremely challenging virtual settings. D. Repeating the same speech multiple times.
10. What did Dr Macdonald’s study reveal about the platform?
A. It worked better for adults than teenagers.
B. It required daily practice to show obvious effects.
C. It removed speech anxiety completely in teenagers.
D. It helped users increase confidence and reduce anxiety.
11. What is Dr Matteo Cella’s attitude towards the platform?
A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Concerned. D. Indifferent.
12. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Online VR Tool Helps People Overcome Speech Nerves
B. Overexposure Therapy Increases the Fear of Public Speaking
C. VR Platform Offers New Ways to Learn Speech
D. Breathing Exercises Can Cure Speech Anxiety

Sustaining Motivation in Academic Life
Motivation drives goal achievement, but senior high students often struggle to maintain it under heavy academic pressure. Many often fall into the trap of setting unrealistic goals. ____13____ Fortunately, there are useful strategies to help you stay motivated and navigate through challenges effectively.
Start by setting SMART objectives. ____14____ Transforming them into Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound (限时的) goals provides a structured path forward. For example, a short-term goal could be improving math scores by 15% in two months through daily practice. Such clarity enables precise progress tracking and breaks down overwhelming ambitions into actionable steps.
____15____ Positivity can be passed on to others, while negative environments take away your motivation. Surround yourself with peers who attach great importance to academic growth — studies show students in motivated groups can stick to tasks 30% longer. Their consistent encouragement helps you stay committed during challenging hardships.
A further critical strategy lies in redefining failure as learning. Instead of viewing mistakes as setbacks, see them as growth opportunities. When scoring poorly on a test, analyze errors rather than blame yourself. For example, if your composition has weak points, you will know what to correct. ____16____
Finally, take advantage of internal motivation. External pressures like parental expectations fade, but inner passion lasts. Reflect on whether your goals originate from genuine interest or merely mirror others’ expectations. ____17____ Take careful notice when there is a misfit, for goals rooted in personal values, such as pursuing biology to advance medical research, foster unwavering (坚定不移的) commitment.
A. Each essay revision moves you closer to perfection.
B. Such objectives will give rise to long-term frustration.
C. Forming study groups can help share learning resources.
D. Setting overly simple goals can make you lose interest quickly.
E. Equally significant is constructing a mutually supportive network.
F. This helps reveal if they match your values for timely adjustments.
G. Loose goals like “getting into a good university” lack clear explanation.

Our instructor, Ms. Davies, ____20____ a simple but profound instruction: “Listen,” she urged, “Do not merely play; seek to understand the story within each other’s music.” Instead of ____21____ our traditions, we each taught a short musical phrase from our culture. ____22____, my guitar’s flamenco riff clashed (与……不协调) with the erhu’s melancholy, while the djembe’s complex rhythms confused us.

Our final performance, though ____29____, earned thunderous applause. We discovered true harmony doesn’t require ____30____ notes, but respect for different voices and recognition of ____31____ human emotions. That day, music became more than sound; it became a bridge, and we were its ____32____.

59. 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。
On the morning of his 1, 500-meter race at the 1968 Games, the determined runner Kip Keino of Kenya found himself in a rather awful situation. He was seated in the backseat of a somewhat shabby taxi, making his way to the Olympic Stadium in the bustling city of Mexico City.
He was understandably worried. The city was in the grip of a massive traffic congestion. Everywhere he looked, there were traffic jams stretching as far as the eye could see. The honking(按喇叭)of horns filled the air, creating a chaotic symphony. His taxi, a small vehicle amidst the sea of larger cars, buses, and other taxis, was barely inching forward.
Keino, with a furrowed brow, kept looking ahead at the long line of cars, buses, and taxis in front of him. The vehicles were bumper-to-bumper, and the drivers seemed frustrated, some impatiently drumming their fingers on the steering wheels.
It was an hour before his race, and he took a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves. As time ticked away, it became fifty minutes, and he could feel a sense of unease creeping up on him. The taxi moved a few more meters, but the progress was extremely slow. Forty minutes passed, and he started to tap his foot nervously on the floor of the taxi. The traffic showed no signs of letting up. Then, it was twenty minutes before the race. Keino’s heart began to pound a bit faster. He could see people on the sidewalks, some of them wearing Olympic-themed clothing, walking towards the stadium with excited expressions. Meanwhile, he was still stuck in the traffic.
Finally, it was only ten minutes before the start of the race. And to his disappointment, the taxi was still a full 2 kilometers from the stadium. Considering the current traffic situation, the distance seemed almost impossible to cover. What’s worse, earlier that morning, even before getting into the taxi, he had been worried that the pain in his stomach might affect his performance.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
After a moment’s thought, however, Keino made a decision.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When Keino hurriedly ran into the stadium, other players were ready for the race.
