It is normal to feel a bit worried about exams, but you can do something to make it easier for yourself. First, believe in yourself. Remind yourself of all the times you succeeded in situations you were afraid you’d fail. Give yourself credit and become your own best cheerleader. Second, don’t compare yourself with others. Comparing yourself to others usually doesn’t get you far as everyone is unique. You’re great as you arc. Finally, talk to someone - a friend, a parent, or a teacher. It’s not a shame but a powerful choice that will help you feel better. （本题6分）听下面一段较长对话，回答以下小题。 14．(1.5分)What do we know about the speakers? A．They are colleagues. B．They are business partners.

C．Tips on pacing yourself in small talk. 【答案】18．A 19．B 20．C 【原文】 Small talk is a wonderful way of bonding, learning and growing. What makes it challenging is the fact that we can hardly be prepared for it. We just go with what's happening in the moment. When you first get into a small talk situation, I think we need to establish appropriate goals. Rachel Greenwald, an academic, has this wonderful saying. Your goal is to be interested, not interesting. We often think that we need to be fascinating when in fact we just need to be present and be interested in the conversation that's happening. And then, to get good at small talk, you need to give yourself permission to adjust your pace. Many of us have the sense that speed of response is associated with competence, but what really reflects your competence is an appropriate response. And appropriateness can take a little bit of time, so here are some things you can do to help you. 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）Building and maintaining healthy relationships is a key part of a happy and successful life. Whether at school, in the workplace, or in the community, good interpersonal skills help us connect with others. Here are some practical tips to enhance your social abilities. Start with a Simple Gesture Many people feel shy about starting a conversation. You don’t need to say something perfect. A friendly smile, a warm greeting, or a simple compliment (赞美) can open the door. Being the first to say “hello” shows confidence and makes others feel comfortable. Find Common Ground Shared interests are the foundation of strong connections. When you talk to someone, try to discover what you both enjoy — be it sports, music, books, or movies. Discussing common topics makes conversations flow more naturally and helps build a bond. Listen Actively Good communication is more about listening than talking. Show genuine interest in what others say. Maintain eye contact, nod, and ask follow-up questions. This makes people feel valued and understood, which deepens your relationship. Handle Conflicts Wisely Disagreements are normal. When they happen, stay calm and respectful. Express your feelings honestly without blaming the other person. Try to see the situation from their perspective and work together to find a solution. A wise resolution can sometimes make a relationship even stronger. By practicing these skills, you can build a wide and supportive social network. Remember, positive relationships require effort, but the rewards are truly valuable. 21．(2.5分)What is the advice for starting a conversation? A．Prepare a well-organized speech. B．Use a simple and friendly gesture. C．Wait patiently for others to talk first. D．Start with fun and meaningful topics. 22．(2.5分)Why is finding common ground helpful? A．It helps to build a relationship. B．It makes you win an argument. C．It shows you are knowledgeable. D．It allows you to talk more. 23．(2.5分)How should we deal with conflicts? A．Try to avoid them in a wise way. B．Stay calm and talk it out respectfully. C．Express your anger clearly and directly. D．Ask a third person to decide properly. 【答案】21．B 22．A 23．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章提供了建立和维持健康人际关系的方法。建议从简单友好的举动开始，寻找共同点，积极倾听，以及智慧地处理冲突，以提升社交能力，建立广泛的支持性社交网络。 【详解】21．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Many people feel shy about starting a conversation. You don’t need to say something perfect. A friendly smile, a warm greeting, or a simple compliment (赞美) can open the door. Being the first to say ‘hello’ shows confidence and makes others feel comfortable.(许多人对开始一段对话感到害羞。你不必说得尽善尽美。一个友好的微笑、一个热情的问候或一句简单的赞美就能打开话匣子。第一个说‘你好’的人表现出自信，让别人感到舒适)”可知，开始对话的建议是使用一个简单且友好的姿态，比如微笑、问候或赞美。故选B。 22．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Shared interests are the foundation of strong connections. When you talk to someone, try to discover what you both enjoy — be it sports, music, books, or movies. Discussing common topics makes conversations flow more naturally and helps build a bond.(共同的兴趣是建立牢固关系的基石。当你和别人交谈时，试着发现你们都喜欢什么——无论是运动、音乐、书籍还是电影。讨论共同的话题能让对话更加自然流畅，有助于建立联系)”可知，找到共同点有助于建立关系，因为它能让对话更加自然，并加深彼此之间的联系。故选A。 23．细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Disagreements are normal. When they happen, stay calm and respectful. Express your feelings honestly without blaming the other person. Try to see the situation from their perspective and work together to find a solution. A wise resolution can sometimes make a relationship even stronger.(分歧是正常的。当它们发生时，保持冷静和尊重。诚实地表达你的感受，不要责怪对方。试着从对方的角度看待问题，并共同努力寻找解决方案。明智的解决方式有时能让关系更加牢固)”可知，处理冲突时应该保持冷静，并尊重对方，通过沟通来解决问题。故选B。 （本题10分）When Tina Farr visits the year 2 classroom at her Oxford primary school, she can feel the changed atmosphere since play was put firmly back on the curriculum (课程). “The children come running up with things they have made. There is always a shop on the go so they will be pricing up something or finding change.” the headteacher says. Play-based learning — letting children move around, make up games and explore within loosely guided activities — usually stops when they attend primary school. Lessons then become desk-based, focused on reading and writing. Farr had long championed the value of play, working hard to bring it into breaktimes. “Teachers would recognise what we do and it doesn’t take any more planning than the standard approach.” With play-based learning in place for her year 1 and 2 children, Farr then looked at where else she could change any practices that weren’t working. “If a practice isn’t in line with healthy child development, why are we doing it?” The school’s year 5 children — aged nine and 10 — were struggling to sit still in a tight space so she removed all the furniture. “The impact was immediate and impressive. Children now choose where and how to learn. A class once struggling with attention is now calm and engaged.” A teacher noted: “Their self-regulation has improved greatly. They settle down to work much more readily.” Farr believes the outdated system needs urgent change. “We have neuroscience (神经科学) to know children learn through play.” In June the school sailed through its Ofsted inspection. “The inspector really understood our play-based learning.” Farr’s message is that her approach can be rolled out. “It’s blown my mind how engaged the children are. It’s phenomenal,” she says. 24．(2.5分)What change does Farr bring to her school? A．Additional income. B．Flexible environments. C．Upgraded equipment. D．Diverse outdoor games. 25．(2.5分)What is the main reason for Farr to introduce play-based learning? A．To reduce teacher’s workload． B．To enhance the school’s reputation. C．To improve students’ academic results. D．To promote kids’ well-being and growth. 26．(2.5分)Which best describes the students with the new seating arrangement? A．More focused. B．More energetic. C．More self-centred． D．More courageous. 27．(2.5分)What is the last paragraph mainly about concerning Farr’s approach? A．Its theory. B．Its challenge. C．Its purpose. D．Its effectiveness. 【答案】24．B 25．D 26．A 27．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述牛津某小学的校长Tina Farr在学校推行以游戏为基础的学习模式，调整教学环境，促进学生健康发展并取得良好效果的故事。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The school’s year 5 children — aged nine and 10 — were struggling to sit still in a tight space so she removed all the furniture. “The impact was immediate and impressive. Children now choose where and how to learn. A class once struggling with attention is now calm and engaged.”(该校五年级学生（年龄在 9 至 10 岁之间）曾难以在狭小空间里安静坐好，于是她移除了所有家具。“效果立竿见影，十分显著。现在孩子们可以自主选择学习的地点和方式。曾经难以集中注意力的班级，如今变得安静且专注投入。”)”可知，Farr为学校带来的改变是灵活的学习环境。故选B项。 25．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Farr had long championed the value of play, working hard to bring it into breaktimes. “Teachers would recognise what we do and it doesn’t take any more planning than the standard approach.” With play-based learning in place for her year 1 and 2 children, Farr then looked at where else she could change any practices that weren’t working. “If a practice isn’t in line with healthy child development, why are we doing it?”(Farr长期以来一直倡导游戏的价值，并努力推动游戏融入课间休息时间。“老师们会认可我们所做的事，而且相比常规方法，这种方式并不需要额外的规划。”在为她所带的一年级和二年级学生落实好游戏化学习后，Farr接着开始审视其他方面，试图找出那些行不通的做法并进行改进。“如果一种做法不符合儿童的健康发展规律，我们为什么还要坚持呢？”)”以及第四段中调整家具后学生专注力和自我调节能力提升的效果可知，Farr推行以游戏为基础的学习模式，主要是为了促进孩子的健康和成长。故选D项。 26．细节理解题。根据第四段中的““The impact was immediate and impressive. Children now choose where and how to learn. A class once struggling with attention is now calm and engaged.” A teacher noted: “Their self-regulation has improved greatly. They settle down to work much more readily.”(“效果立竿见影，且十分显著。现在孩子们可以自主选择学习的地点和方式。曾经难以集中注意力的班级，如今变得安静且专注投入。” 一位老师这样写道：“孩子们的自我调节能力有了很大提升，他们能更主动地静下心来学习了。”)”可知，新的座位安排（灵活的学习环境）让学生更专注了。故选A项。 27．主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“In June the school sailed through its Ofsted inspection. “The inspector really understood our play-based learning.” Farr’s message is that her approach can be rolled out. “It’s blown my mind how engaged the children are. It’s phenomenal,” she says. (六月份，这所学校顺利通过了英国教育标准局（Ofsted）的检查。“检查员完全理解我们的游戏化学习模式。”Farr 表示，她的教学方法是可以推广的。“孩子们的投入程度让我非常惊喜，太了不起了。” 她说。)”可知，该段主要通过学校通过检查、检查员认可、学生进步显著等内容，体现Farr推行的方法的有效性。故选D项。 （本题10分）Kids have always pushed limits and asked for things that could be harmful to them. While kids explore parents’ “edges” of limits, parents are really struggling to do theirs, making the family system unbalanced and affecting mental health (精神健康). Actually, an important basic rule has been forgotten in their lives: boundaries (边界). The cost of not being able to set boundaries with kids has never been higher. Decades ago, it might be a small thing like an extra cupcake or staying out late. Now, it’s about unlimited TikTok use or too many video games instead of real-world activities. Parents are facing a problem — not only a problem of phones and social media, but also a problem of Sturdy Leadership. Sturdy Leadership is a way for parents to be in charge where they set rules and still keep a close relationship with their children. They do this by recognizing their child’s feelings while holding firm (坚定) on what is best for everyone. Imagine a father just told his 12-year-old daughter “no” when she asked to have a party too late and she is understandably annoyed with him about not getting what she wants. In this moment, Sturdy Leadership could look something like this: “I get that you’re upset, and I really do. But one of my main jobs is to make decisions that I think are good for you, even when you’re upset with me. And staying out too late is a dangerous thing for a child of your age.” This shift in approach that is calm, matter-of-fact, and not shaming has resulted in kids calming and adapting much more quickly. It has also significantly reduced their power struggles. Boundary setting — early and often — is important. When the day comes that our kids ask for a phone, our approach will not be different from the common “media policy” we have as parents; our approach will simply be an extended (延伸的) way we’ve always talked to our kids about what they want and ask for. While our kids may not fully understand our decisions at the time, they will, years later, very much benefit from our words and acts of protection. 28．(2.5分)What basic rules have parents often forgotten according to paragraph 1? A．Having a balanced daily lifestyle. B．Drawing clear family boundaries. C．Allowing kids to push limits. D．Paying more attention to mental health. 29．(2.5分)What modern challenge do parents primarily face? A．Few daily outdoor activities. B．Rising school education pressure. C．Kids’ endless online addiction. D．Lack of technological knowledge. 30．(2.5分)Which of the following is key to Sturdy Leadership? A．Combining rules with emotional support. B．Explaining the rules and reasons repeatedly. C．Giving in to avoid long arguments. D．Ensuring enough personal space and freedom. 31．(2.5分)What does the text mainly talk about? A．Ways to control kids’ online time. B．Methods to comfort upset kids. C．Causes of parent-child conflicts. D．Proper family boundary setting. 【答案】28．B 29．C 30．A 31．D 【导语】本文探讨了家长设立家庭边界的重要性，介绍“稳固引导(Sturdy Leadership)”这一教养方式，说明该方法的做法、优势以及尽早设立边界带来的长远益处。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据第一段“Actually, an important basic rule has been forgotten in their lives: boundaries (边界). (事实上，他们在生活中遗忘了一条重要的基本准则：边界。)”可知，家长常常忘记的基本准则是设立清晰的家庭边界。 29．细节理解题。根据第二段“Now, it’s about unlimited TikTok use or too many video games instead of real-world activities. (现在，问题在于无节制地刷TikTok或者玩太多电子游戏，缺少参与现实世界的活动)”可知，家长如今面临的主要现代挑战是孩子无休止的网络沉迷。 30．细节理解题。根据第三段“Sturdy Leadership is a way for parents to be in charge where they set rules and still keep a close relationship with their children. They do this by recognizing their child’s feelings while holding firm (坚定) on what is best for everyone. (稳固引导是家长主导的教养方式：制定规则，同时维持与孩子的亲密关系。家长既要理解孩子的情绪感受，又要坚守对所有人有益的原则。)”可知，稳固引导的关键在于将规则约束与情感支持相结合。 31．主旨大意题。第一段提出家长遗忘了设立家庭边界这一准则；第二段点明无法设立边界在当下带来的严重问题；第三至五段介绍设立边界的教养方法Sturdy Leadership及其效果；最后一段强调要尽早、经常设立边界。由此可知，全文围绕合理设立家庭边界展开论述。 （本题10分）First impressions can be harsh. One mistake, and you might feel like you’ll forever be seen as an idiot in someone’s eyes. However, I believe reality is kinder than that. Making a first impression is like trying to keep a door open with your foot. Many encounters with strangers are short and quick and may never happen again. Sometimes that can be a blessing: If the person you meet doesn’t care to remember you, you’ll quickly fade into the crowd of strangers in their mind, avoiding any negative or lasting impression. Other times, it can be disappointing — imagine striking up a conversation with someone interesting only to part ways before exchanging contact information. To avoid being forgotten, you need to do something memorable — but not something foolish. Make an impression by asking an insightful question or making someone laugh. This means taking risks and avoiding bland (乏味的) small talk; if that’s not what you offer, you’ll likely be pushed to the back of their memory, unlikely to be remembered again. But what if you messed up your first impression? And one day you see them looking at you, recalling the time you embarrassed yourself, and they’re walking toward you thinking, “I know you from somewhere …” In that case, your second impression needs to be better. In my 19 years of making first impressions — some not so great — I’ve found that people will give you a second chance if you give them something to care about. Just because you messed up the first time doesn’t mean you should withdraw and stop being interesting. You should try harder: Listen well, ask relevant questions, smile often, tell a joke, and share what you care about. None of this is a guaranteed “How to Make People Like You” guide, by the way. I’m not even sure if any of this works. But people seem to like talking to me, so maybe some of it does work. Anyway, if this is your first impression of me, I hope it’s been a good one. 32．(2.5分)What are first impressions like according to paragraph 2? A．Casual and interesting. B．Brief and temporary. C．Important and lasting. D．Negative and unstable. 33．(2.5分)How can you make a memorable first impression according to the author? A．By engaging in small talk. B．By avoiding risky behavior. C．By demonstrating insight or humor. D．By sharing your personal experiences. 34．(2.5分)What does the author recommend doing if you mess up your first impression? A．Apologizing immediately. B．Avoiding seeing the person again. C．Forgetting about the encounter. D．Making a better second impression. 35．(2.5分)What tone does the author take when discussing the effectiveness of the advice? A．Cold. B．Playful. C．Serious. D．Convincing. 【答案】32．B 33．C 34．D 35．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文讲述第一印象往往短暂易逝，教我们如何留下好印象，若初次印象不佳，也可以用更好的二次印象来弥补。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第二段“Making a first impression is like trying to keep a door open with your foot. Many encounters with strangers are short and quick and may never happen again. (留下第一印象，就好比用脚抵住一扇门不让它关上。与陌生人的许多相遇都短暂仓促，且或许此生不会再见。)”可知，第一印象是短暂且临时的。故选B项。 33．细节理解题。根据第三段“To avoid being forgotten, you need to do something memorable — but not something foolish. Make an impression by asking an insightful question or making someone laugh. (想要不被人遗忘，你需要做出令人印象深刻的举动，但绝不能是荒唐愚蠢的行为。你可以提出一个有深度的问题，或是逗他人发笑，以此留下好印象。)”可知，作者建议靠展现见解或是幽默感来留下难忘的第一印象。故选C项。 34．细节理解题。根据第四段“But what if you messed up your first impression? And one day you see them looking at you, recalling the time you embarrassed yourself, and they’re walking toward you thinking, “I know you from somewhere …”(可万一你搞砸了自己的第一印象该怎么办呢？某天你看见对方正望着你，回想起你当初出糗的模样，他们朝你走来，心里想着：“我好像在哪见过你……”)”和第五段“In that case, your second impression needs to be better.(既然如此，你需要打造一个更好的第二印象。)”可知，若是第一印象搞砸了，作者建议去营造更好的第二印象。故选D项。 35．推理判断题。根据第六段“None of this is a guaranteed “How to Make People Like You” guide, by the way. I’m not even sure if any of this works.(顺便说一下，这些都不是能保证让别人喜欢你的万能法则，我甚至不确定这些方法是否管用。)”可知，作者对自身建议的效果语气轻松随意，带着诙谐调侃的口吻。故选B项。 （本题12.5分）Sharing life with a dog is a journey of love that deepens with every passing year. As our companions enter their golden years, what they need for their continued comfort and happiness will change. 36(2.5分) It involves a comprehensive (全面的) approach that covers their changing health, mobility, and emotional well-being. It’s important to stay on top of their health with regular vet check-ups to help discover any age-related issues early on. This way, conditions such as joint pain or mental decline can be managed effectively, ensuring your senior dog is getting the care they need. Remember to keep a close eye on their behavior. 37(2.5分) As your dog ages, their nutritional needs will change, too. It’s essential to change their diet and monitor their weight to prevent any obesity-related health issues. 38(2.5分) Also consider giving supplements (补充) such as a multivitamin which includes joint-supporting ingredients, as well as healthy fats which help improve brain function and support healthy skin. Your dog might not be as lively as they once were, so adjusting their exercise routine makes sense. 39(2.5分) Activities like swimming are great, too, as they provide all-round exercise to maintain muscle mass and joint flexibility without putting stress on their old bones. 40(2.5分) Spend quality time with your senior dog, doing some activities they love. Your companionship is invaluable to them. With a thoughtful approach to their needs, you can ensure that your loyal companions enjoy their later years with dignity, comfort, and the love they deserve. A．Choose high-quality senior dog food. B．But preventive care is better than treatment. C．Emotional well-being should not be ignored. D．Any small relevant shifts are often the first clues. E．Think gentle walks instead of demanding physical activities. F．Don’t forget to reward them with their favorite treats after exercise. G．Taking care of your senior dog goes beyond regular walks and meals. 【答案】36．G 37．D 38．A 39．E 40．C 【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了如何通过关注健康监测、调整营养饮食、安排适宜运动以及重视情感陪伴这四个方面，为老年犬提供全面而细致的关怀。 【详解】36．前文“Sharing life with a dog is a journey of love that deepens with every passing year. As our companions enter their golden years, what they need for their continued comfort and happiness will change. (与狗狗共度生活是一段充满爱的旅程，这份爱会随着岁月的流逝而愈发深厚。当我们的伙伴步入老年之时，它们对于持续的舒适与快乐的需求也会发生变化。)”提到老年犬对舒适和快乐的需求会变化，后文“It involves a comprehensive (全面的) approach that covers their changing health, mobility, and emotional well-being. (这需要采取一种全面的方法，涵盖它们健康状况的变化、行动能力以及情绪健康等方面。)”指出满足其需求需要全面的方法，因此G项“Taking care of your senior dog goes beyond regular walks and meals. (照顾你的老年犬，远不止常规的散步和喂食。)”符合语境，指出照顾老年犬有更高的要求，既承接前文的需求改变，又引出后文的方法，其中的Taking care of your senior dog是后文It指代的对象。 37．前文“Remember to keep a close eye on their behavior. (记得要密切留意它们的行为表现。)”提醒关注老年犬的行为表现，因此D项“Any small relevant shifts are often the first clues. (任何微小的相关变化通常是第一线索。)”符合语境，解释为何要关注其行为，承接前文。 38．前文“As your dog ages, their nutritional needs will change, too. It’s essential to change their diet and monitor their weight to prevent any obesity-related health issues. (随着狗狗年龄的增长，它们的营养需求也会发生变化。需要调整其饮食并监测体重，以预防任何与肥胖相关的健康问题。)”建议调整老年犬的饮食并监控体重，后文“Also consider giving supplements (补充) such as a multivitamin which includes joint-supporting ingredients, as well as healthy fats which help improve brain function and support healthy skin. (还可以考虑给老年犬喂食一些补充剂，比如含有促进关节健康的成分的复合维生素，以及有助于提升大脑功能和维护皮肤健康的健康脂肪。)”进一步说明调整饮食的具体方法，因此A项“Choose high-quality senior dog food. (选择高品质的老年犬粮。)”符合语境，是调整饮食的首要具体方法，承接前文，和后文是递进关系。 39．前文“Your dog might not be as lively as they once were, so adjusting their exercise routine makes sense. (你的狗狗可能不像以前那样精力充沛了，所以调整一下它们的运动计划是合理的。)”建议调整老年犬的运动，后文“Activities like swimming are great, too, as they provide all-round exercise to maintain muscle mass and joint flexibility without putting stress on their old bones. (像游泳这样的活动也很棒，因为它们提供全面的锻炼，以保持肌肉量和关节灵活性，而且不会给年迈的骨骼带来压力。)”进一步举例游泳这种锻炼方式，因此E项“Think gentle walks instead of demanding physical activities. (考虑温和的散步，而非要求高的体育活动。)”符合语境，举例散步这一锻炼方式，承接前文，和后文游泳的例子并列。 40．后文“Spend quality time with your senior dog, doing some activities they love. Your companionship is invaluable to them. (和你的老年犬一起度过美好时光，做一些它们喜欢的活动。你的陪伴对它们来说是无价之宝。)”建议陪伴老年犬，满足其情感需求，因此C项“Emotional well-being should not be ignored. (情感健康不应被忽视。)”符合语境，指出情感健康的重要性，作为段首句统领后文。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）I used to be shy and 41 around strangers — my voice would shake, my hands sweat. One day, I saw an old woman sitting alone on a park bench. Her face was 42 with sadness, like a rain-clouded sky. Without thinking, I 43 next to her. “Hello,” I said softly, my voice barely above a whisper. She looked up, 44 , as if no one had spoken to her in weeks. “Hello, dear,” she replied. We talked for hours. Her name was Mrs. Chen, and she’d lost her husband 45 — they’d been married 50 years. “Your smile 46 my day,” she said before leaving, squeezing my hand. “I haven’t laughed like that in months.” The next week, I saw her again. This time, she 47 me with a big smile, waving me over. “I’ve been 48 you,” she said, patting the bench. We shared stories — her first date with Mr. Chen, my awkward first day of school — and laughter, until the sun dipped below the trees. Months later, Mrs. Chen moved to a nursing home. I visited her 49 , bringing her favorite jasmine tea. “You’re my sunshine,” she’d say, holding my hand as we watched the nurses wheel other residents by. I realized that a simple 50 could brighten someone’s life — cost nothing, but mean everything. Now, I 51 at everyone I meet — the barista, the bus driver, the kid struggling with his backpack — it’s a small act that feels 52 at first, but it holds 53 power.

Humour in 57(1.5分) (creative), the special ability of mankind, is like humour in life. People often ask me “Does humour work in advertising?”, but I think that’s a stupid question. Does anyone ever ask “Does humour work in life?” If humour 58(1.5分) (employ) appropriately, it will work. The question should be “How can you 59(1.5分) (possible) create something creative without humour?” Certainly, in all forms of communication, humour is 60(1.5分) effective way to win someone’s heart. In examining the advertisements, speeches and books I 61(1.5分) (write) over the years, it’s difficult 62(1.5分) (classify) humour as a separate category because it runs through almost everything I do — and through most of my 63(1.5分) (wake) hours.

Say something serious in a funny way, 65(1.5分) you can win over people every time. 【答案】 56．who/that 57．creativity 58．is employed 59．possibly 60．an 61．have written 62．to classify 63．waking 64．thoughts 65．and 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章论述了幽默对于创作者的重要性。 【详解】56．考查定语从句。句意：但一个缺乏幽默感的创作者永远无法创作出能够触动绝大多数人心灵的伟大作品。该空引导限制性定语从句，先行词是a creator，指人，关系词替代先行词在从句中作主语，用关系代词who/that。故填who/that。 57．考查名词。句意：创造力中的幽默，这一人类的特殊能力，就像生活中的幽默。用不可数名词creativity作介词in的宾语。故填creativity。 58．考查时态语态。句意：如果幽默运用得当，它就会奏效。If引导条件状语从句，遵循主将从现原则，从句用一般现在时，从句主语humour和谓语动词employ是被动关系，employ用一般现在时的被动语态，从句主语humour不可数，从句谓语单数形式。故填is employed。 59．考查副词。句意：问题应该是“没有幽默，你怎么可能创造出有创意的东西？”副词possibly作状语，修饰动词create。故填possibly。 60．考查不定冠词。句意：当然，在所有形式的交流中，幽默都是赢得别人的心的一种有效方法。泛指一种有效方法，effective以元音音素开头，用不定冠词an。故填an。 61．考查时态。句意：在研究我多年来写的广告、演讲和书籍时，很难将幽默单独归类，因为它几乎贯穿了我所做的一切，也贯穿了我醒着的大部分时间。write是限制性定语从句的谓语动词，根据时间状语over the years可知，此处应用现在完成时。故填have written。 62．考查不定式。句意：在研究我多年来写的广告、演讲和书籍时，很难将幽默单独归类，因为它几乎贯穿了我所做的一切，也贯穿了我醒着的大部分时间。It is difficult to do sth是固定句型，此处it充当形式主语，difficult后面应用不定式作真正的主语，classify用不定式形式。故填to classify。 63．考查形容词。句意：在研究我多年来写的广告、演讲和书籍时，很难将幽默单独归类，因为它几乎贯穿了我所做的一切，也贯穿了我醒着的大部分时间。形容词waking作定语，修饰名词hours，waking hours (清醒的时间)。故填waking。 64．考查名词复数。句意：幽默使人更容易接受在严肃的对话或讨论中可能难以接受的想法和图像。结合and后的复数名词images，此处指不止一个想法，用可数名词thought的复数形式，作宾语。故填thoughts。 65．考查并列连词。句意：用有趣的方式说一些严肃的话，你每次都能赢得人们的支持。祈使句+and/or+陈述句，前后句是顺承关系，用并列连词and。故填and。 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）假设你是李华，学校英文报正在征稿, 请你以“How to Develop a Sense of Humor”为题写一篇英语短文投稿，内容包括： 1．观察生活，因为生活中有很多幽默瞬间(moment)； 2．看幽默电影，读趣味文章； 3．与幽默的人在一起，尝试开玩笑。 注意： 1．写作词数应为80个左右； 2．可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: How to Develop a Sense of Humor Humor is of great importance in our life.

And we love telling corny (老套的) food jokes. “You know what kind of fish you put on a sandwich?” Chad said. “A jellyfish (水母，jelly也有果酱的意思)!” “That was bad,” I laughed. “You know why the bread dough (面团) was sad? It just wanted to be kneaded (揉，音同needed)” “Wow, that was even worse.” Chad laughed back. Joking and laughing with Chad was turning out to be one of my favorite parts of camp. But a couple of days later, his joking around got confusing. “Hey,” he said, “did you forget your eyeglasses today?” I shook my head. “I don’t wear glasses.” “I just figured you couldn’t see very well,” he said. “The friendship bracelet (手链) you’re making looks so ugly, you should call it an enemy bracelet. Get it?” “Oh, ha! Yeah,” I said in a confused, not-exactly-laughing kind of way. But before I had a chance to stop and think about how those words actually made me feel, it was time to move on to the next activity. That night, when it was lights-out time, I lay awake, feeling not good. Half of my brain was thinking, “Chad was just joking around; don’t take it so hard.” But the other half of my brain was thinking, “Those bracelet comments felt more mean than fun. I knew that truly funny things shouldn’t make my stomach hurt.” The next day, Chad made another one of his “jokes” on the field. “Amy must think we’re playing golf instead of basketball,” he paused and smiled. Seeing my confusion, Chad said that each time Amy got the ball, it would just roll on the ground.” “Chad” I said. “I don’t think it’s funny.” “Why? What happened to your sense of humor?” he asked. I took a deep breath and decided to tell him my true feeling. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After a moment of heavy silence, Chad’s response came. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: I took a deep breath and decided to tell him my true feeling. “Hey, Chad, I guess, we might have different ideas of what’s funny,” I began, my voice steady despite the butterflies in my stomach. I continued to explain that I did love our food jokes, but I didn’t think that ‘enemy bracelet’ comment was funny. I also mentioned the incident with Amy, emphasizing that it felt like he was making fun of her, not the situation. “Basically, I think laughing with people is way more fun than laughing at them.” Paragraph 2: After a moment of heavy silence, Chad’s response came. “You’re right. I didn’t realize my jokes could be hurtful. I’m sorry,” he admitted, his eyes reflecting a newfound understanding. A wave of relief washed over me as I responded, “I appreciate your apology, Chad. Let’s go back to the jokes that make everyone laugh, alright?” His smile slowly returned, genuine and beautiful. From that day on, our friendship was once again filled with laughter and the rest of the summer camp was a mix of activities and joy, just the way it was meant to be. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了查德是作者在夏令营认识的朋友，但是对方开的玩笑让作者感到不舒服，于是向查德坦白自己的感受，查德也认识到了自己的错误，向作者道了歉。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我深吸了一口气，决定告诉他我的真实感受”可知，第一段可描写作者坦白自己的感受。 ②由第二段首句内容“一阵沉痛的沉默之后，查德的回答来了”可知，第二段可描写查德意识到自己不该嘲笑别人，向作者道歉。 2. 续写线索：坦白感受——解释——查德沉默——查德回答——查德道歉——朋友和好——作者感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①开始：begin/start ②继续：continue to/go on ③强调：emphasize/stress 情绪类 ①喜爱：love/be fond of ②欢乐：joy/happiness 【点睛】【高分句型1】I continued to explain that I did love our food jokes, but I didn’t think that ‘enemy bracelet’ comment was funny.

Whether at school, in the workplace, or in the community, good interpersonal skills help us connect with others. Here are some practical tips to enhance your social abilities. Start with a Simple Gesture Many people feel shy about starting a conversation. You don’t need to say something perfect. A friendly smile, a warm greeting, or a simple compliment (赞美) can open the door. Being the first to say “hello” shows confidence and makes others feel comfortable. Find Common Ground Shared interests are the foundation of strong connections. When you talk to someone, try to discover what you both enjoy — be it sports, music, books, or movies. Discussing common topics makes conversations flow more naturally and helps build a bond. Listen Actively Good communication is more about listening than talking. Show genuine interest in what others say. Maintain eye contact, nod, and ask follow-up questions. This makes people feel valued and understood, which deepens your relationship. Handle Conflicts Wisely Disagreements are normal. When they happen, stay calm and respectful. Express your feelings honestly without blaming the other person. Try to see the situation from their perspective and work together to find a solution. A wise resolution can sometimes make a relationship even stronger. By practicing these skills, you can build a wide and supportive social network. Remember, positive relationships require effort, but the rewards are truly valuable. 21．(2.5分)What is the advice for starting a conversation? A．Prepare a well-organized speech. B．Use a simple and friendly gesture. C．Wait patiently for others to talk first. D．Start with fun and meaningful topics. 22．(2.5分)Why is finding common ground helpful? A．It helps to build a relationship. B．It makes you win an argument. C．It shows you are knowledgeable. D．It allows you to talk more. 23．(2.5分)How should we deal with conflicts? A．Try to avoid them in a wise way. B．Stay calm and talk it out respectfully. C．Express your anger clearly and directly. D．Ask a third person to decide properly. （本题10分）When Tina Farr visits the year 2 classroom at her Oxford primary school, she can feel the changed atmosphere since play was put firmly back on the curriculum (课程). “The children come running up with things they have made. There is always a shop on the go so they will be pricing up something or finding change.” the headteacher says. Play-based learning — letting children move around, make up games and explore within loosely guided activities — usually stops when they attend primary school. Lessons then become desk-based, focused on reading and writing. Farr had long championed the value of play, working hard to bring it into breaktimes. “Teachers would recognise what we do and it doesn’t take any more planning than the standard approach.” With play-based learning in place for her year 1 and 2 children, Farr then looked at where else she could change any practices that weren’t working. “If a practice isn’t in line with healthy child development, why are we doing it?” The school’s year 5 children — aged nine and 10 — were struggling to sit still in a tight space so she removed all the furniture. “The impact was immediate and impressive. Children now choose where and how to learn. A class once struggling with attention is now calm and engaged.” A teacher noted: “Their self-regulation has improved greatly. They settle down to work much more readily.” Farr believes the outdated system needs urgent change. “We have neuroscience (神经科学) to know children learn through play.” In June the school sailed through its Ofsted inspection. “The inspector really understood our play-based learning.” Farr’s message is that her approach can be rolled out. “It’s blown my mind how engaged the children are. It’s phenomenal,” she says. 24．(2.5分)What change does Farr bring to her school? A．Additional income. B．Flexible environments. C．Upgraded equipment. D．Diverse outdoor games. 25．(2.5分)What is the main reason for Farr to introduce play-based learning? A．To reduce teacher’s workload． B．To enhance the school’s reputation. C．To improve students’ academic results. D．To promote kids’ well-being and growth. 26．(2.5分)Which best describes the students with the new seating arrangement? A．More focused. B．More energetic. C．More self-centred． D．More courageous. 27．(2.5分)What is the last paragraph mainly about concerning Farr’s approach? A．Its theory. B．Its challenge. C．Its purpose. D．Its effectiveness. （本题10分）Kids have always pushed limits and asked for things that could be harmful to them. While kids explore parents’ “edges” of limits, parents are really struggling to do theirs, making the family system unbalanced and affecting mental health (精神健康). Actually, an important basic rule has been forgotten in their lives: boundaries (边界). The cost of not being able to set boundaries with kids has never been higher. Decades ago, it might be a small thing like an extra cupcake or staying out late. Now, it’s about unlimited TikTok use or too many video games instead of real-world activities. Parents are facing a problem — not only a problem of phones and social media, but also a problem of Sturdy Leadership. Sturdy Leadership is a way for parents to be in charge where they set rules and still keep a close relationship with their children. They do this by recognizing their child’s feelings while holding firm (坚定) on what is best for everyone. Imagine a father just told his 12-year-old daughter “no” when she asked to have a party too late and she is understandably annoyed with him about not getting what she wants. In this moment, Sturdy Leadership could look something like this: “I get that you’re upset, and I really do. But one of my main jobs is to make decisions that I think are good for you, even when you’re upset with me. And staying out too late is a dangerous thing for a child of your age.” This shift in approach that is calm, matter-of-fact, and not shaming has resulted in kids calming and adapting much more quickly. It has also significantly reduced their power struggles. Boundary setting — early and often — is important. When the day comes that our kids ask for a phone, our approach will not be different from the common “media policy” we have as parents; our approach will simply be an extended (延伸的) way we’ve always talked to our kids about what they want and ask for. While our kids may not fully understand our decisions at the time, they will, years later, very much benefit from our words and acts of protection. 28．(2.5分)What basic rules have parents often forgotten according to paragraph 1? A．Having a balanced daily lifestyle. B．Drawing clear family boundaries. C．Allowing kids to push limits.

One mistake, and you might feel like you’ll forever be seen as an idiot in someone’s eyes. However, I believe reality is kinder than that. Making a first impression is like trying to keep a door open with your foot. Many encounters with strangers are short and quick and may never happen again. Sometimes that can be a blessing: If the person you meet doesn’t care to remember you, you’ll quickly fade into the crowd of strangers in their mind, avoiding any negative or lasting impression. Other times, it can be disappointing — imagine striking up a conversation with someone interesting only to part ways before exchanging contact information. To avoid being forgotten, you need to do something memorable — but not something foolish. Make an impression by asking an insightful question or making someone laugh. This means taking risks and avoiding bland (乏味的) small talk; if that’s not what you offer, you’ll likely be pushed to the back of their memory, unlikely to be remembered again. But what if you messed up your first impression? And one day you see them looking at you, recalling the time you embarrassed yourself, and they’re walking toward you thinking, “I know you from somewhere …” In that case, your second impression needs to be better. In my 19 years of making first impressions — some not so great — I’ve found that people will give you a second chance if you give them something to care about. Just because you messed up the first time doesn’t mean you should withdraw and stop being interesting. You should try harder: Listen well, ask relevant questions, smile often, tell a joke, and share what you care about. None of this is a guaranteed “How to Make People Like You” guide, by the way. I’m not even sure if any of this works. But people seem to like talking to me, so maybe some of it does work. Anyway, if this is your first impression of me, I hope it’s been a good one. 32．(2.5分)What are first impressions like according to paragraph 2? A．Casual and interesting. B．Brief and temporary. C．Important and lasting. D．Negative and unstable. 33．(2.5分)How can you make a memorable first impression according to the author? A．By engaging in small talk. B．By avoiding risky behavior. C．By demonstrating insight or humor. D．By sharing your personal experiences. 34．(2.5分)What does the author recommend doing if you mess up your first impression? A．Apologizing immediately. B．Avoiding seeing the person again. C．Forgetting about the encounter. D．Making a better second impression. 35．(2.5分)What tone does the author take when discussing the effectiveness of the advice? A．Cold. B．Playful. C．Serious. D．Convincing. （本题12.5分）Sharing life with a dog is a journey of love that deepens with every passing year. As our companions enter their golden years, what they need for their continued comfort and happiness will change. 36(2.5分) It involves a comprehensive (全面的) approach that covers their changing health, mobility, and emotional well-being. It’s important to stay on top of their health with regular vet check-ups to help discover any age-related issues early on. This way, conditions such as joint pain or mental decline can be managed effectively, ensuring your senior dog is getting the care they need. Remember to keep a close eye on their behavior. 37(2.5分) As your dog ages, their nutritional needs will change, too. It’s essential to change their diet and monitor their weight to prevent any obesity-related health issues. 38(2.5分) Also consider giving supplements (补充) such as a multivitamin which includes joint-supporting ingredients, as well as healthy fats which help improve brain function and support healthy skin. Your dog might not be as lively as they once were, so adjusting their exercise routine makes sense. 39(2.5分) Activities like swimming are great, too, as they provide all-round exercise to maintain muscle mass and joint flexibility without putting stress on their old bones. 40(2.5分) Spend quality time with your senior dog, doing some activities they love. Your companionship is invaluable to them. With a thoughtful approach to their needs, you can ensure that your loyal companions enjoy their later years with dignity, comfort, and the love they deserve. A．Choose high-quality senior dog food. B．But preventive care is better than treatment. C．Emotional well-being should not be ignored. D．Any small relevant shifts are often the first clues. E．Think gentle walks instead of demanding physical activities. F．Don’t forget to reward them with their favorite treats after exercise. G．Taking care of your senior dog goes beyond regular walks and meals. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）I used to be shy and 41 around strangers — my voice would shake, my hands sweat. One day, I saw an old woman sitting alone on a park bench. Her face was 42 with sadness, like a rain-clouded sky. Without thinking, I 43 next to her. “Hello,” I said softly, my voice barely above a whisper. She looked up, 44 , as if no one had spoken to her in weeks. “Hello, dear,” she replied. We talked for hours. Her name was Mrs. Chen, and she’d lost her husband 45 — they’d been married 50 years. “Your smile 46 my day,” she said before leaving, squeezing my hand. “I haven’t laughed like that in months.” The next week, I saw her again. This time, she 47 me with a big smile, waving me over. “I’ve been 48 you,” she said, patting the bench. We shared stories — her first date with Mr. Chen, my awkward first day of school — and laughter, until the sun dipped below the trees. Months later, Mrs. Chen moved to a nursing home. I visited her 49 , bringing her favorite jasmine tea. “You’re my sunshine,” she’d say, holding my hand as we watched the nurses wheel other residents by. I realized that a simple 50 could brighten someone’s life — cost nothing, but mean everything. Now, I 51 at everyone I meet — the barista, the bus driver, the kid struggling with his backpack — it’s a small act that feels 52 at first, but it holds 53 power. Its value is 54 , and its warmth 55 with every new face it touches. 41．(1分)A．confident B．nervous C．relaxed D．excited 42．(1分)A．marked B．covered C．filled D．decorated 43．(1分)A．stood B．danced C．sat D．ran 44．(1分)A．surprised B．annoyed C．scared D．bored 45．(1分)A．recently B．rarely C．happily D．luckily 46．(1分)A．ruined B．wasted C．brightened D．shortened 47．(1分)A．greeted B．left C．paid D．cheated 48．(1分)A．waiting for B．looking after C．learning from D．worrying about 49．(1分)A．seldom B．never C．often D．sometimes 50．(1分)A．gift B．smile C．letter D．call 51．(1分)A．shout B．wave C．smile D．cry 52．(1分)A．weak B．limited C．great D．strange 53．(1分)A．weak B．strong C．new D．old 54．(1分)A．expensive B．cheap C．priceless D．useless 55．(1分)A．disappears B．grows C．stops D．waits 四、语法填空 （本题15分）语法填空 A physicist, doctor, lawyer, garbage collector, etc. without a sense of humour can be terrific at what they do. But a creator 56(1.5分) is humourless could never produce great works which can touch the hearts of the vast majority of people. Humour in 57(1.5分) (creative), the special ability of mankind, is like humour in life. People often ask me “Does humour work in advertising?”, but I think that’s a stupid question. Does anyone ever ask “Does humour work in life?” If humour 58(1.5分) (employ) appropriately, it will work. The question should be “How can you 59(1.5分) (possible) create something creative without humour?” Certainly, in all forms of communication, humour is 60(1.5分) effective way to win someone’s heart. In examining the advertisements, speeches and books I 61(1.5分) (write) over the years, it’s difficult 62(1.5分) (classify) humour as a separate category because it runs through almost everything I do — and through most of my 63(1.5分) (wake) hours. Humour makes one more easily accept 64(1.5分) (thought) and images that could be hard to take in serious conversation or discussion. Say something serious in a funny way, 65(1.5分) you can win over people every time. 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）假设你是李华，学校英文报正在征稿, 请你以“How to Develop a Sense of Humor”为题写一篇英语短文投稿，内容包括： 1．观察生活，因为生活中有很多幽默瞬间(moment)； 2．看幽默电影，读趣味文章； 3．与幽默的人在一起，尝试开玩笑。 注意： 1．写作词数应为80个左右； 2．可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 六、书面表达 67．（本题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。 Chad was a friend I met at summer camp. And we love telling corny (老套的) food jokes. “You know what kind of fish you put on a sandwich?” Chad said. “A jellyfish (水母，jelly也有果酱的意思)!” “That was bad,” I laughed. “You know why the bread dough (面团) was sad? It just wanted to be kneaded (揉，音同needed)” “Wow, that was even worse.” Chad laughed back. Joking and laughing with Chad was turning out to be one of my favorite parts of camp. But a couple of days later, his joking around got confusing. “Hey,” he said, “did you forget your eyeglasses today?” I shook my head. “I don’t wear glasses.” “I just figured you couldn’t see very well,” he said. “The friendship bracelet (手链) you’re making looks so ugly, you should call it an enemy bracelet. Get it?” “Oh, ha! Yeah,” I said in a confused, not-exactly-laughing kind of way. But before I had a chance to stop and think about how those words actually made me feel, it was time to move on to the next activity. That night, when it was lights-out time, I lay awake, feeling not good. Half of my brain was thinking, “Chad was just joking around; don’t take it so hard.” But the other half of my brain was thinking, “Those bracelet comments felt more mean than fun. I knew that truly funny things shouldn’t make my stomach hurt.” The next day, Chad made another one of his “jokes” on the field. “Amy must think we’re playing golf instead of basketball,” he paused and smiled. Seeing my confusion, Chad said that each time Amy got the ball, it would just roll on the ground.” “Chad” I said. “I don’t think it’s funny.” “Why? What happened to your sense of humor?” he asked. I took a deep breath and decided to tell him my true feeling. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After a moment of heavy silence, Chad’s response came. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。How is your husband?
