W: What about your first job? And what did you gain from it?
M: I first worked at a local video shop that had a section of unclassifiable films. These films made up their own rules and always left me feeling as if something inside me had changed. They also proved that the medium of film could change someone’s views of the world, and that made me more determined to pursue filmmaking.
W: And yet you claim that you don’t make art films.
M: Even though I want to make this type of film, it is easy to produce a bad one. More importantly, I just want to express my message through understandable films, using pictures and music, but not some abstract art concepts. By the way, I am not interested in art films that follow a predictable pattern.

【原文】W: Welcome to the theater club. I’m Teresa, your new club president, and I’m excited to announce that we have chosen our autumn show. We are going to perform Liam Pierce’s The New Sky! It’s a funny, heartwarming story of a group of theater-loving women who decide to perform an all-female version of William Shakespeare’s play, while all the men are away fighting in World War II. We’ll be looking for six girls to play the female parts, ranging from young women to old ladies. There are also a couple of male parts: Alexander Ford and Joe White. The original play was set in the U.S. , but our writers decided to move the action to Australia, so we could use our own accents. There are passages of Shakespeare throughout the play, for which we’ll use British accents. Tryouts are on Friday. You’ll be asked to read a scene from the play, as well as perform a short Shakespeare speech. I hope to see you all there!

【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍“默剧时光”活动的内容、适用人群、场地要求等信息,吸引学校开展该教育活动。
【详解】21.细节理解题。根据第一段中“Your students will be totally absorbed as our performer presents several humorous short ‘silent stories’ which may include many familiar illusions such as walls, ropes, ladders and everybody’s favorite — walking against the wind.(当我们的表演者呈现几个幽默的短篇“无声故事”时,你的学生将会完全沉浸其中,这些故事可能包含许多熟悉的幻象,比如墙、绳子、梯子以及所有人都喜欢的——逆风行走)”可知,学生在默剧时光中可以观看简短的无声表演。故选A。
22.细节理解题。根据Program Summary部分中“Setup Time 30 minutes(准备时间 30 分钟)”可知,默剧时光活动需要30分钟的时间来布置场地。A选项“孩子年龄在9岁及以上”与原文表格第一行“Grade Level: Kindergarten to Grade 9(适用年级:幼儿园至9年级)”表述不符;C选项“超过一场活动需要额外付费”与原文表格第四行为“Daily Session Limit: Up to 2 (Extra sessions available for an additional fee)(每日场次限制:最多2场,额外场次需另行付费)”表述不符;D选项“可容纳45人的表演区域”,原文表格倒数第二行中为“Required Facilities ◆A stage or 15’×25’ performance area(所需设施◆一个舞台或 15英尺×25英尺的表演区域)”,未提及容纳人数。故选B。

It is designed to introduce your students to an art form that has been practised for centuries throughout the world.(默剧时光是一场集古典与现代默剧技巧于一体的传统表演,它旨在向你的学生介绍一种在全球范围内传承了数百年的艺术形式)”可知,文章多次提及“你的学生”,且内容是面向学校的教育活动介绍。由此推知,文章的目标读者是教师。故选B。
(本题10分)Their voices rose like a single breath, pure and strong. When music faded, audience stood and cheered. Backstage, I just couldn’t believe we’d come this far.
They now call us the “Little River Flows” — a children’s choir that carries the voice of a thousand hills. I am Wang Xiaoxi, a village music teacher in Midu, Yunnan. My story with the children began here, the “hometown of folk songs (民歌),” where melodies had long been whispered but hardly heard in harmony.
Yet things ran opposite to my drive to develop young talents. Local families had no idea what a choir was, thus hesitant to let their kids join. Some children came one week and disappeared the next. Those who stayed failed to read sheet music, not even simple notes. I spent countless hours starting from scratch.
An unexpected hand came when Jin Zixuan, a conductor from Peking University, decided to step in. He traveled from Beijing to Midu every single month, finding each kid’s vocal range, teaching them breathing skills and organising singing practice. The on-the-spot guidance he offered was my defence against the pressure. “When you love what you do, the hard parts feel meaningful,” he said. Night after night after my baby slept, I filled pages with rehearsal (彩排) plans — pages that Jin would later mark up in red, not knowing they would one day travel with us all the way to concert halls and award ceremonies in Sichuan, Beijing and Hong Kong.
It always touches my heart when I realize the choir has transformed everything. For many, what started as a passing curiosity has turned into a lasting passion. Children who once wanted to drop out now dare to dream big. They’ve found friendship, joy and, most importantly, their own voice. And beneath it all, our old folk songs are now sung again by the young. That, to me, is the clear picture: the river flows both ways.
24.(2.5分)What is the function of paragraph 1?
A.To illustrate a popular musical style.
B.To show disbelief in a choir’s progress.
C.To describe a wonderful performance.
D.To introduce a choir of great success.
25.(2.5分)What does “starting from scratch” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Making strict class schedules. B.Teaching basic knowledge.
C.Writing simple songs on paper. D.Encouraging more kids to join.
26.(2.5分)What was Jin’s biggest support for the author?
A.He shared her teaching duties. B.He strengthened her confidence.
C.He revised her rehearsal plans. D.He showed her broader stages.
27.(2.5分)What can be inferred from the author’s clear picture?
A.The river will carry the choir’s songs to distant villages.
B.The stories of the choir will spread both at home and abroad.
C.Local music heritage can be preserved with children’s growth.
D.Music education can continue to positively impact children’s life.
【答案】24.D 25.B 26.B 27.C
【导语】主要讲述云南乡村音乐老师组建乡村儿童合唱团,克服重重困难坚持教学,传承本土民歌、助力孩子成长的暖心故事。
【详解】24.推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Their voices rose like a single breath, pure and strong. When music faded, audience stood and cheered.(他们的歌声如同一股气息般响起,纯净而有力。音乐落幕时,观众起立欢呼。)”可知,文章首段描绘了合唱团精彩的演出场面,以此引出这支收获成功与认可的儿童合唱团。
25.词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“Those who stayed failed to read sheet music, not even simple notes. I spent countless hours starting from scratch.(留下来的孩子不会识谱,甚至连简单的音符都不认识。我花费了无数时间starting from scratch。)”可知,孩子们毫无音乐基础,作者只能从零起步,教授孩子们音乐基础知识。因此该短语表示“教授基础知识点”。
26.细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The on-the-spot guidance he offered was my defence against the pressure. “When you love what you do, the hard parts feel meaningful,” he said.(他提供的现场指导是我抵御压力的支撑。他说:“当你热爱所做的事,艰难的部分也会变得有意义。”)”可知,金子轩的指导与鼓励缓解了作者的压力,极大增强了作者坚持下去的信心。
27.推理判断题。根据尾段中的“Children who once wanted to drop out now dare to dream big. They’ve found friendship, joy and, most importantly, their own voice. And beneath it all, our old folk songs are now sung again by the young.(曾经想要退出的孩子们如今敢于拥有远大梦想。他们收获了友谊、快乐,最重要的是,找到了属于自己的声音。在这一切之下,我们古老的民歌如今再次被年轻人传唱。)”可知,儿童的成长让本土传统民歌得以重新传承、保存,由此可推知借助孩子的成长能够延续本土音乐文化遗产。
(本题10分)Huangmei Opera artist Han Zaifen works to revive a traditional art. As the daughter of a Huangmei Opera performer, she made her first performance at 10 years old in 1978. From that point on, her career has become closely connected with the art’s development.
But Huangmei Opera’s path has not been easy. Like many traditional Chinese art forms, it has struggled against the pull of modern fun and digital media. Some productions failed to connect with modern life. Younger audiences lost interest and left. Meanwhile, low pay and limited career chances drove performers elsewhere.
In order to revive the art form, Han has been working to strengthen its foundation (基础). Under her leadership, the city of Anqing in Anhui established a range of facilities to support the development of Huangmei Opera. Yet basic facilities alone are not enough. “In 2010, I realized that without generations of newcomers, our mission could not continue,” Han said. Therefore, for nearly seven years after assuming her teaching post, she gave up acting in new shows for herself, focusing mainly on training students.
As college head of the Huangmei Opera Arts College at Anqing Normal University, she personalizes training programs based on each student’s strengths — whether voice quality, or acting style — encouraging them to develop unique artistic identities while mastering the classical plays. Breaking with the opera world’s long-standing rules, where lead roles traditionally go to senior performers, Han introduces what she calls an “everyone can be the lead” model.
Her dreams go beyond China. On July 3, 2025, Han led her team in a flash performance at Frankfurt’s Römer Square in Germany. She sang excerpts (片段) from familiar operas. People were attracted. “It is not easy to find a lifelong love,” she said. “I was fortunate to find this calling, and I have never left it.”
28.(2.5分)What difficulty did Huangmei Opera face?
A.Poor performance. B.Fixed rules of classical plays.
C.Limited training chances. D.Competition from digital media.
29.(2.5分)Why did Han stop acting in new shows for seven years?
A.To build more theaters. B.To develop young talent.
C.To update classical plays. D.To enter the foreign market.
30.(2.5分)What is special about Han’s training model?
A.Creating new acting styles. B.Giving seniors the lead roles.
C.Focusing on individual gifts. D.Simplifying classical operas.
31.(2.5分)Which of the following can best describe Han Zaifen?
A.Determined. B.Generous. C.Humorous. D.Independent.
【答案】28.D 29.B 30.C 31.A
【导语】文章主要介绍了黄梅戏艺术家韩再芬深耕黄梅戏领域,面对黄梅戏受现代娱乐和数字媒体冲击、发展困境重重的现状,通过搭建基础设施、培育青年人才、创新培养模式等方式振兴黄梅戏,并积极推动黄梅戏走向国际的事迹。
【详解】28.细节理解题。根据原文第二段“Like many traditional Chinese art forms, it has struggled against the pull of modern fun and digital media.(和许多中国传统艺术形式一样,它在现代娱乐和数字媒体的冲击下举步维艰。)”可知,黄梅戏面临的困境来自数字媒体的竞争与冲击。
29.细节理解题。根据原文第三段“Therefore, for nearly seven years after assuming her teaching post, she gave up acting in new shows for herself, focusing mainly on training students.(因此,在任职教学岗位后的近七年时间里,她放弃了出演新剧目,主要专注于培养学生。)”可知,韩再芬七年不参演新剧目,是为了培养黄梅戏青年人才。
30.细节理解题。根据原文第四段“As college head of the Huangmei Opera Arts College at Anqing Normal University, she personalizes training programs based on each student’s strengths — whether voice quality, or acting style — encouraging them to develop unique artistic identities while mastering the classical plays.(作为安庆师范大学黄梅戏艺术学院院长,她根据学生的嗓音、表演风格等个人优势制定个性化培养方案,鼓励学生在掌握经典剧目的同时,打造独特的艺术特色。)”可知,韩再芬的培养模式特色在于因材施教,关注学生的个人天赋。
31.推理判断题。根据原文第一段“As the daughter of a Huangmei Opera performer, she made her first performance at 10 years old in 1978. From that point on, her career has become closely connected with the art’s development.(作为黄梅戏演员的女儿,她于1978年10岁时首次登台演出。从那时起,她的职业生涯便与这门艺术的发展紧密相连。)”及第三段“Therefore, for nearly seven years after assuming her teaching post, she gave up acting in new shows for herself, focusing mainly on training students.(因此,在任职教学岗位后的近七年时间里,她放弃了出演新剧目,主要专注于培养学生。)”等内容可知,韩再芬数十年坚守黄梅戏事业,直面行业困境,潜心育人、推广国粹,始终坚守初心践行传承使命,由此可以推断出,她是一个意志坚定的人。
(本题10分)When your mind is trapped in confusion, you may suddenly have a familiar song playing inside your head. It often arrives out of nowhere, yet precisely expresses the unclear feelings or messy thoughts that you fail to express. Such unexplained inner signals are far from rare in daily life.
These sudden mental hints, ranging from unclear images to mysterious memories, are not random accidents. They are typical examples of involuntary musical imagery, commonly known as “earworms”. Psychological research confirms that inner songs are usually triggered by unprocessed emotions, stressed states or hidden thoughts. Instead of indicating mental disorders, they reflect the brain’s subconscious (潜意识的) sorting and analyzing work.
Human brains are born with the tendency to seek patterns and logical connections in disordered information. This natural mental mechanism (机制) explains why seemingly ordinary inner signals often feel surprisingly meaningful. According to psychological theories, the brain tends to use symbols, metaphors and familiar melodies to process complex feelings that conscious thinking cannot handle properly.
Many creative insights also come from such subconscious activities. When the conscious mind gets stuck, the unconscious mind continues working silently. A sudden lyric or image is often the final result of long-term invisible mental processing. It serves as a helpful reminder to guide people out of confusion.
Although researchers have explained the psychological roots of these inner brain signals, most people still ignore such small mental signals in daily life. Few people know how to respond properly when their minds send out unique symbolic messages.
32.(2.5分)How does the author introduce the topic?
A.By introducing a term. B.By raising a question.
C.By giving an example. D.By comparing opinions.
33.(2.5分)What can we learn about “earworms” according to the text?
A.They link to inner thoughts. B.They appear quite often.
C.They are just random. D.They stand for mental illness.
34.(2.5分)Why do internal mental signals feel meaningful to people?
A.It brings new creative ideas. B.It helps improve memory.
C.It is our brain’s nature. D.It changes our thinking patterns.
35.(2.5分)What will the author most probably talk about next?
A.Differences in mental symptoms. B.Practical ways to deal with them.
C.Latest studies on brain activities. D.Other kinds of inner mental signals.
【答案】32.C 33.A 34.C 35.B
【导语】本文主要介绍了“耳虫”这一心理现象,解释了脑海中突然浮现歌曲的产生原因、大脑运作机制以及积极作用,并指出人们普遍缺乏应对这类心理信号的正确方法。
【详解】32.推理判断题。根据第一段“When your mind is trapped in confusion, you may suddenly have a familiar song playing inside your head. It often arrives out of nowhere, yet precisely expresses the unclear feelings or messy thoughts that you fail to express. (当你的思绪陷入混乱时,脑海中可能会突然响起熟悉的歌曲。它毫无征兆地出现,却能精准表达那些难以言说的模糊情绪与杂乱思绪。)”可知,作者通过列举生活中常见的心理实例,引出全文话题。
33.细节理解题。根据第二段“Psychological research confirms that inner songs are usually triggered by unprocessed emotions, stressed states or hidden thoughts. (心理学研究证实,脑海中浮现的歌曲通常由未被梳理的情绪、压力状态或潜藏的内心思绪引发。)”可知,耳虫现象与人的内心想法、情绪密切相关。
34.细节理解题。根据第三段“Human brains are born with the tendency to seek patterns and logical connections in disordered information. This natural mental mechanism explains why seemingly ordinary inner signals often feel surprisingly meaningful. (人类大脑天生倾向于在无序信息中寻找规律与逻辑关联,这种天生的大脑机制,解释了为何普通的内心心理信号会让人极具意义感。)”可知,这类心理信号让人觉得有意义,源于人类大脑的先天本能。
35.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Few people know how to respond properly when their minds send out unique symbolic messages. (很少有人知道当大脑发出独特的象征性心理信号时,该如何正确应对。)”可知,文章结尾提出人们缺乏应对方法的问题,按照行文逻辑,下文最有可能介绍应对这类心理信号的实用方法。
(本题12.5分)Music and Its Role in Human Life
Music is one of the most universal forms of human expression. From ancient songs to modern pop, it has been an important part of every culture around the world. But why does music play such an important role in our daily lives? 36(2.5分)
One reason is that music helps us deal with our emotions in a healthy way. When people feel happy, sad, or angry, they often listen to music that matches or changes how they feel. 37(2.5分) A sad song can bring comfort during difficult times, while an upbeat song can make us feel energetic and hopeful again. Sometimes, when we cannot find the right words, music speaks for us instead.
Music can bring people together. Think of concerts, festivals, or singing with friends. 38(2.5分) These shared moments create a feeling of belonging. Scientists have found that making music in a group releases chemicals in our brains that increase trust and teamwork. Even strangers can become friends through a shared love of a song.
39(2.5分) Studies show that children who learn an instrument often do better in subjects like math and language. Music training improves memory, attention, and problem-solving. For adults, listening to music while working can help them focus and even make boring tasks more enjoyable.
However, not everyone reacts to music in the same way. Personal taste, cultural background, and past experiences all affect how we feel about a piece of music. 40(2.5分) Some people find energy in rock, while others prefer the calm of classical music. But one thing is clear: music will always be an important part of human life.
A.Music is also good for the brain.
B.Music can be a way to celebrate.
C.The answer lies in its effects on us.
D.Different people like different music.
E.You don’t need special skills to enjoy music.
F.These activities connect people in a special way.
G.Music helps us say what we cannot put into words.
【答案】36.C 37.G 38.F 39.A 40.D

38.由上文“Think of concerts, festivals, or singing with friends. (想想音乐会、节日庆典或与朋友一起唱歌)”及下文“These shared moments create a feeling of belonging. (这些共享的时刻创造了归属感)”可知,上文列举了音乐活动,下文说这些时刻带来归属感,本空应说明这些活动的连接作用。F选项“这些活动以一种特殊的方式将人们连接起来”能承上启下,符合语境。故选F。
39.由下文“Studies show that children who learn an instrument often do better in subjects like math and language. Music training improves memory, attention, and problem-solving. (研究表明,学习乐器的儿童通常在数学和语言等科目上表现更好。音乐训练能提高记忆力、注意力和解决问题的能力)”可知,本段主要讲音乐对大脑的益处。A选项“音乐也对大脑有益。”是本段的主题句,统领下文,符合语境。
40.由上文“Personal taste, cultural background, and past experiences all affect how we feel about a piece of music. (个人品味、文化背景和过往经历都会影响我们对音乐的感受。)”及下文“Some people find energy in rock, while others prefer the calm of classical music.

【答案】
56.Launched 57.accessible 58.engagement 59.had hosted 60.with 61.featuring 62.that/which 63.an 64.was recognized 65.What
【导语】本文介绍了重庆开州“壹圆剧场”于2025年6月由当地政府推出,以低价票吸引观众,采用可持续模式。已举办多场演出,带动当地旅游,其模式获认可,民众支持让努力有价值。
【详解】56.考查非谓语动词。句意:该项目由当地政府于2025年6月推出,提供仅需一元的演出门票,使艺术对所有人开放,并促进当地旅游和社区参与。句中offers为谓语动词,launch在句中应用非谓语动词形式,与逻辑主语this initiative构成被动关系,用过去分词launched作状语,设空处置于句首,开头单词首字母需大写。
57.考查形容词。句意同上。此处作宾语补足语,修饰名词art,表示“可获得的、可接近的”,应用access的形容词形式accessible,构成make sth. accessible结构。
58.考查名词。句意同上。and连接并列成分,与tourism并列作boosting的宾语,应用engage的名词形式engagement,表示“参与、互动”,community engagement为常见搭配,意为“社区参与”。
59.考查动词时态。句意:截至6月底,该剧院已举办147场演出,吸引18万名观众,并获得超过600万线上粉丝。此处时间状语By the end of June指2025年6月底,为过去的时间点,需与过去完成时连用,表示在该时间之前已完成的动作,过去完成时构成为had done,host的过去分词为hosted。
60.考查介词。句意:6月30日晚,开州剧院以一场两小时的年度晚会吸引了观众,节目包括丰富多彩的戏剧表演、传统重庆相声、川剧、歌舞等。fascinate sb. with sth.为固定搭配,意为“以某物使某人着迷”,所以此处使用介词with。
61.考查非谓语动词。句意同上。句中fascinated为谓语动词,feature在句中应用非谓语动词形式,与逻辑主语gala构成主动关系,表示“包含、以……为特色”,所以用现在分词featuring作后置定语。
62.考查定语从句。句意:如今,剧院采用了一种可持续的模式,该模式结合了商业赞助、相关文创产品销售以及广告位出租。此处引导定语从句,先行词为a sustainable model,指物,在从句中作主语,可用关系代词that或which引导定语从句。
63.考查冠词。句意:数据显示,汉丰湖旅游区游客数量增长了85%,为该区域贡献了29.3亿元(约合4.31亿美元)的收入。increase为可数名词,此处表示“一个85%的增长”,85以元音音素开头,应用不定冠词an。
64.考查动词时态和语态。句意:该剧院在公共文化服务方面的创新做法于2025年被认定为重庆基层改革的典范。主语The theater’s innovative approach与recognize之间为被动关系,且时间状语in 2025表明动作发生在过去,所以用一般过去时的被动语态,主语为第三人称单数,所以谓语动词为was recognized。
65.考查主语从句。句意:“让所有努力都值得的是参与者和观众的热情支持,”一位爱好者说道。空格引导主语从句,在从句中作主语,表示“……的事物”,应用连接代词what,开头单词首字母需大写。

【答案】【参考范文】
Dear Jenny,
I hope this email finds you well. I’m entering an international high school short video contest themed “Through Labor, We Build.”
My initial plan is to film a 3-minute documentary which shows how different people contribute to the creation of a community library. The climax will be the moment when the library opens its doors, symbolizing that labor builds not just structures but also connections.
However, I’m struggling with the narrative flow and how to make transitions between scenes feel natural. Could you share your advice on pacing and editing techniques to make the “building” process visually engaging?
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

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。
Sunshine Valley High School prepared to celebrate its 100th birthday, and the drama club planned a special play for it.
Mrs. Collins, the librarian, told them there might be old scripts (剧本) in the library’s upper storage area. So on a cool November morning, several club members went to look. Among them were Mia, a junior who loved writing, Ethan, a senior who was good with cameras, and Lila, the club president who hoped to direct plays.
Mia reached for a dusty shelf. Suddenly, a loose page fell. It was a handwritten scene from a play called Starlight Dreams. Under the text was a note: “Act 2, Scene 3—Clara meets her future self under the oak tree (橡树), legs tired but eyes bright, determined to keep going even when the way forward gets hard to see…” It was signed by “Elena Marquez, 1972”. Mia saw a leather-bound notebook next to where the page had been and pulled it out—it was Elena’s diary.
They carefully opened the diary. One entry said, “July 5th, 1973. The doctor says I need to rest—no more late nights writing, no more rehearsals (排练). But I keep re-reading Clara’s lines: ‘You don’t stop just because the wind blows hard.’ Maybe one day, someone will finish what I started.” They realized Elena, a former student, had gotten very sick and left school, never finishing her script.
Mrs. Collins came over, surprised. “Elena was a very talented drama student. She had to leave school because of her illness and never came back. No one knew she left these here,” she said. The students felt sad for Elena. “We can finish her play for the school’s 100th birthday!” they all agreed.
For two weeks, they worked after school. Mia finished the script, still keeping Clara as the main character. Lila directed the actors in rehearsals, and Ethan made simple sets based on Elena’s notes. Mrs. Collins found Elena’s address from old yearbooks and invited her to watch the play.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
On the celebration day, the school hall was full of people.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Elena stood up and ran to the stage excitedly.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
On the celebration day, the school hall was full of people. The play started. Clara, the main character, faced many problems, but she didn’t give up. The audience watched carefully, their eyes fixed on the stage. When Clara stood under the oak tree in the end, saying “I’ll keep going, no matter how hard it gets,” everyone clapped hard. Suddenly, a voice shouted, “Good job!” It was Elena, sitting in the back row. Her eyes were shining with tears, and her hands were shaking. The applause got even louder as everyone turned to look at her.
Elena stood up and ran to the stage excitedly. “Thank you,” she said, voice shaking. “Those lines — ‘determined to keep going even when the way forward gets hard to see’ — are mine. I dreamed of acting in my own play, but the illness made me stop. I thought my story with Clara ended. However, you brought us both back.” She hugged each student, explaining her dreams revived. The students felt warm — they gave a forgotten dream a second chance, realizing small kindnesses bridge years, and that dreams, however long delayed, are always worth remembering.

(本题7.5分)Make a Little Time for Some MimeIntroduction
Mime Time is a traditional presentation of classical and modern mime techniques. It is designed to introduce your students to an art form that has been practised for centuries throughout the world. Your students will be totally absorbed as our performer presents several humorous short “silent stories” which may include many familiar illusions such as walls, ropes, ladders and everybody’s favorite — walking against the wind. The performer may even play different characters within the same story! Each program is followed by a short question-and-answer session.
There is also an optional all-day program, in which the students receive instruction in small groups on mime techniques. These “funshops” exercise both the mind and the body.

(本题10分)Their voices rose like a single breath, pure and strong. When music faded, audience stood and cheered. Backstage, I just couldn’t believe we’d come this far.
They now call us the “Little River Flows” — a children’s choir that carries the voice of a thousand hills. I am Wang Xiaoxi, a village music teacher in Midu, Yunnan. My story with the children began here, the “hometown of folk songs (民歌),” where melodies had long been whispered but hardly heard in harmony.
Yet things ran opposite to my drive to develop young talents. Local families had no idea what a choir was, thus hesitant to let their kids join. Some children came one week and disappeared the next. Those who stayed failed to read sheet music, not even simple notes. I spent countless hours starting from scratch.
An unexpected hand came when Jin Zixuan, a conductor from Peking University, decided to step in. He traveled from Beijing to Midu every single month, finding each kid’s vocal range, teaching them breathing skills and organising singing practice. The on-the-spot guidance he offered was my defence against the pressure. “When you love what you do, the hard parts feel meaningful,” he said. Night after night after my baby slept, I filled pages with rehearsal (彩排) plans — pages that Jin would later mark up in red, not knowing they would one day travel with us all the way to concert halls and award ceremonies in Sichuan, Beijing and Hong Kong.
It always touches my heart when I realize the choir has transformed everything. For many, what started as a passing curiosity has turned into a lasting passion. Children who once wanted to drop out now dare to dream big. They’ve found friendship, joy and, most importantly, their own voice. And beneath it all, our old folk songs are now sung again by the young. That, to me, is the clear picture: the river flows both ways.
24.(2.5分)What is the function of paragraph 1?
A.To illustrate a popular musical style.
B.To show disbelief in a choir’s progress.
C.To describe a wonderful performance.
D.To introduce a choir of great success.
25.(2.5分)What does “starting from scratch” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Making strict class schedules. B.Teaching basic knowledge.
C.Writing simple songs on paper. D.Encouraging more kids to join.
26.(2.5分)What was Jin’s biggest support for the author?
A.He shared her teaching duties. B.He strengthened her confidence.
C.He revised her rehearsal plans. D.He showed her broader stages.
27.(2.5分)What can be inferred from the author’s clear picture?
A.The river will carry the choir’s songs to distant villages.
B.The stories of the choir will spread both at home and abroad.
C.Local music heritage can be preserved with children’s growth.
D.Music education can continue to positively impact children’s life.
(本题10分)Huangmei Opera artist Han Zaifen works to revive a traditional art. As the daughter of a Huangmei Opera performer, she made her first performance at 10 years old in 1978. From that point on, her career has become closely connected with the art’s development.
But Huangmei Opera’s path has not been easy. Like many traditional Chinese art forms, it has struggled against the pull of modern fun and digital media. Some productions failed to connect with modern life. Younger audiences lost interest and left. Meanwhile, low pay and limited career chances drove performers elsewhere.
In order to revive the art form, Han has been working to strengthen its foundation (基础). Under her leadership, the city of Anqing in Anhui established a range of facilities to support the development of Huangmei Opera. Yet basic facilities alone are not enough. “In 2010, I realized that without generations of newcomers, our mission could not continue,” Han said. Therefore, for nearly seven years after assuming her teaching post, she gave up acting in new shows for herself, focusing mainly on training students.
As college head of the Huangmei Opera Arts College at Anqing Normal University, she personalizes training programs based on each student’s strengths — whether voice quality, or acting style — encouraging them to develop unique artistic identities while mastering the classical plays. Breaking with the opera world’s long-standing rules, where lead roles traditionally go to senior performers, Han introduces what she calls an “everyone can be the lead” model.
Her dreams go beyond China. On July 3, 2025, Han led her team in a flash performance at Frankfurt’s Römer Square in Germany. She sang excerpts (片段) from familiar operas. People were attracted. “It is not easy to find a lifelong love,” she said. “I was fortunate to find this calling, and I have never left it.”
28.(2.5分)What difficulty did Huangmei Opera face?
A.Poor performance. B.Fixed rules of classical plays.
C.Limited training chances. D.Competition from digital media.
29.(2.5分)Why did Han stop acting in new shows for seven years?
A.To build more theaters. B.To develop young talent.
C.To update classical plays. D.To enter the foreign market.
30.(2.5分)What is special about Han’s training model?
A.Creating new acting styles. B.Giving seniors the lead roles.
C.Focusing on individual gifts. D.Simplifying classical operas.
31.(2.5分)Which of the following can best describe Han Zaifen?
A.Determined. B.Generous. C.Humorous. D.Independent.
(本题10分)When your mind is trapped in confusion, you may suddenly have a familiar song playing inside your head. It often arrives out of nowhere, yet precisely expresses the unclear feelings or messy thoughts that you fail to express. Such unexplained inner signals are far from rare in daily life.
These sudden mental hints, ranging from unclear images to mysterious memories, are not random accidents. They are typical examples of involuntary musical imagery, commonly known as “earworms”. Psychological research confirms that inner songs are usually triggered by unprocessed emotions, stressed states or hidden thoughts. Instead of indicating mental disorders, they reflect the brain’s subconscious (潜意识的) sorting and analyzing work.
Human brains are born with the tendency to seek patterns and logical connections in disordered information. This natural mental mechanism (机制) explains why seemingly ordinary inner signals often feel surprisingly meaningful. According to psychological theories, the brain tends to use symbols, metaphors and familiar melodies to process complex feelings that conscious thinking cannot handle properly.
Many creative insights also come from such subconscious activities. When the conscious mind gets stuck, the unconscious mind continues working silently. A sudden lyric or image is often the final result of long-term invisible mental processing. It serves as a helpful reminder to guide people out of confusion.
Although researchers have explained the psychological roots of these inner brain signals, most people still ignore such small mental signals in daily life. Few people know how to respond properly when their minds send out unique symbolic messages.
32.(2.5分)How does the author introduce the topic?
A.By introducing a term. B.By raising a question.
C.By giving an example. D.By comparing opinions.
33.(2.5分)What can we learn about “earworms” according to the text?
A.They link to inner thoughts. B.They appear quite often.
C.They are just random. D.They stand for mental illness.
34.(2.5分)Why do internal mental signals feel meaningful to people?
A.It brings new creative ideas. B.It helps improve memory.
C.It is our brain’s nature. D.It changes our thinking patterns.
35.(2.5分)What will the author most probably talk about next?
A.Differences in mental symptoms. B.Practical ways to deal with them.
C.Latest studies on brain activities. D.Other kinds of inner mental signals.
(本题12.5分)Music and Its Role in Human Life
Music is one of the most universal forms of human expression. From ancient songs to modern pop, it has been an important part of every culture around the world. But why does music play such an important role in our daily lives? 36(2.5分)
One reason is that music helps us deal with our emotions in a healthy way. When people feel happy, sad, or angry, they often listen to music that matches or changes how they feel. 37(2.5分) A sad song can bring comfort during difficult times, while an upbeat song can make us feel energetic and hopeful again. Sometimes, when we cannot find the right words, music speaks for us instead.
Music can bring people together. Think of concerts, festivals, or singing with friends. 38(2.5分) These shared moments create a feeling of belonging. Scientists have found that making music in a group releases chemicals in our brains that increase trust and teamwork. Even strangers can become friends through a shared love of a song.
39(2.5分) Studies show that children who learn an instrument often do better in subjects like math and language. Music training improves memory, attention, and problem-solving. For adults, listening to music while working can help them focus and even make boring tasks more enjoyable.
However, not everyone reacts to music in the same way. Personal taste, cultural background, and past experiences all affect how we feel about a piece of music. 40(2.5分) Some people find energy in rock, while others prefer the calm of classical music. But one thing is clear: music will always be an important part of human life.
A.Music is also good for the brain.
B.Music can be a way to celebrate.
C.The answer lies in its effects on us.
D.Different people like different music.
E.You don’t need special skills to enjoy music.
F.These activities connect people in a special way.
G.Music helps us say what we cannot put into words.

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。
Sunshine Valley High School prepared to celebrate its 100th birthday, and the drama club planned a special play for it.
Mrs. Collins, the librarian, told them there might be old scripts (剧本) in the library’s upper storage area. So on a cool November morning, several club members went to look. Among them were Mia, a junior who loved writing, Ethan, a senior who was good with cameras, and Lila, the club president who hoped to direct plays.
Mia reached for a dusty shelf. Suddenly, a loose page fell. It was a handwritten scene from a play called Starlight Dreams. Under the text was a note: “Act 2, Scene 3—Clara meets her future self under the oak tree (橡树), legs tired but eyes bright, determined to keep going even when the way forward gets hard to see…” It was signed by “Elena Marquez, 1972”. Mia saw a leather-bound notebook next to where the page had been and pulled it out—it was Elena’s diary.
They carefully opened the diary. One entry said, “July 5th, 1973. The doctor says I need to rest—no more late nights writing, no more rehearsals (排练). But I keep re-reading Clara’s lines: ‘You don’t stop just because the wind blows hard.’ Maybe one day, someone will finish what I started.” They realized Elena, a former student, had gotten very sick and left school, never finishing her script.
Mrs. Collins came over, surprised. “Elena was a very talented drama student. She had to leave school because of her illness and never came back. No one knew she left these here,” she said. The students felt sad for Elena. “We can finish her play for the school’s 100th birthday!” they all agreed.
For two weeks, they worked after school. Mia finished the script, still keeping Clara as the main character. Lila directed the actors in rehearsals, and Ethan made simple sets based on Elena’s notes. Mrs. Collins found Elena’s address from old yearbooks and invited her to watch the play.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
On the celebration day, the school hall was full of people.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Elena stood up and ran to the stage excitedly.
