M: Honestly, Mom, I take back everything I said about museums. I thought we’d just spend the day staring at information boards and listening to boring talks. But it wasn’t like that at all! W: No? M: They had interactive (交互式的) touch tables. It allowed us to “hold” computer models of ancient objects. I could turn them and look at them up close. W: Oh, cool!

C．Grammar. 19．(1.5分)Why should you listen to experts according to the speaker? A．To develop your reading fluency. B．To improve your note-taking skills. C．To find out your mispronunciation. 20．(1.5分)What is the speaker’s last suggestion? A．Spell out the difficult words. B．Check the words in a dictionary. C．Practice reading the words aloud. 【答案】18．B 19．C 20．C 【原文】      W: Hello, everyone. Today I’ll talk about how to improve your pronunciation. Language researchers say pronunciation and fluency are the biggest barriers, followed by grammar in effective spoken English. However, most people don’t regard pronunciation as a very important part of communication skills. They’re more focused on vocabulary. One reason is that most people are not even aware of their mispronunciations. So it’s important to first find out the words you mispronounce. You should listen to experts. By experts, I mean those who are less likely to make pronunciation mistakes. When listening to them, pay attention to words that sound strange. Strange, because you pronounce the same words differently. When you come across such words, check a dictionary to confirm their exact pronunciations. You can also search for difficult-to-pronounce words and names and make a list of them. The last suggestion is to read aloud. Now you’ve got the correct pronunciations of the words. It’s time to practice reading them every day. 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）Red-themed cultural education plays a key role in fostering students’ patriotism and sense of responsibility. Let’s check out several excellent red-themed practice platforms that can bring revolutionary history and spirit to life for your child’s school learning experience. Revolutionary History Virtual Museums To make revolutionary history accessible and engaging, the National Museum of China has launched a series of virtual red-themed museums. These online exhibitions feature 3D interactive views of historic sites, interactive timelines of major revolutionary events, and audio stories of revolutionary martyrs. Students can “visit” iconic sites like the Nanhu Red Boat and the Zunyi Meeting Site from home, and learn about the struggles and sacrifices of the older generation. Red Culture Storytelling Competitions Organized by the Communist Youth League of China, this annual competition encourages students to explore local red history, collect stories of revolutionary heroes, and present them in creative forms like speeches, short plays, or short videos. Open to students from primary to high school, it also provides free training workshops on historical research and public speaking for all participants. Red-themed Social Practice Camps Run by local education authorities and red culture research institutions, these offline camps take students to real revolutionary memorial sites, old revolutionary base areas, and memorial halls. During the 3-5 day camps, students can take part in hands-on activities like experiencing wartime life, making military supplies, and interviewing veterans. The camps also include group discussions to help students truly understand the red spirit. Red Spirit Lecture Series This online lecture series invites historians, veterans, and descendants of revolutionary martyrs to share their insights and personal stories. Each lecture focuses on a specific red spirit, such as the Long March Spirit, the Yan’an Spirit, and the Two Bombs, One Satellite Spirit. The lectures are recorded and available on the official education platform, allowing students to watch at their own pace and join live Q&A sessions. 21．(2.5分)What is available in the virtual museums?

(这些线上展览包含革命旧址的3D互动景观、重大革命事件的互动时间轴，以及革命先烈的有声故事。)”可知，虚拟博物馆里有历史遗址的3D互动景观。故选B。 22．细节理解题。根据文章Red-themed Social Practice Camps部分中的“During the 3-5 day camps, students can take part in hands-on activities like experiencing wartime life, making military supplies, and interviewing veterans. (在为期3至5天的活动中，学生可参与体验战时生活、制作军用物资、采访老兵等实践活动。)”和文章Red Spirit Lecture Series部分中的“This online lecture series invites historians, veterans, and descendants of revolutionary martyrs to share their insights and personal stories. (这一线上讲座系列邀请历史学家、退伍老兵以及革命先烈后代分享见解与亲身经历。)”可知，实践营和讲座都涉及老兵。故选D。 23．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Red-themed cultural education plays a key role in fostering students’ patriotism and sense of responsibility. Let’s check out several excellent red-themed practice platforms that can bring revolutionary history and spirit to life for your child’s school learning experience. (红色文化教育在培养学生的爱国情怀与责任感方面起着关键作用。下面为你介绍几个优质的红色主题实践平台，它们能让革命历史与革命精神鲜活起来，丰富孩子的校园学习体验。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍面向学生的红色教育实践平台，偏向教育推广类信息可知，本文最可能出自教育类杂志。故选A。 （本题10分）Every other week, more than two dozen boys walk into Lewis C． Cassidy Academics Plus School in West Philadelphia, wearing suits, neckties, and dress shoes. They shake hands with firm grips (紧握) and maintain eye contact while speaking. They are gentlemen carrying themselves with confidence that turns heads. For many of them, this is their first time to wear a suit. One student puts it plainly, “The first time I ever wore a suit was when I joined the Distinguished Young Gentlemen (DYG). I think I look handsome in it.” At the heart of all this is Dwayne Eric Frazier, a teacher and retired firefighter. He built the DYG club from scratch, transforming it from an after-school initiative into a registered nonprofit dedicated to impacting lives well beyond the classroom. Growing up in North Philadelphia, Frazier’s father taught him how to tie a necktie, polish his shoes, and look people in the eye while speaking. Those lessons stuck, following him through military service and through a 26-year career with the Philadelphia Fire Department. DYG’s roots go back to 1996, when Frazier coached a youth basketball team called the “Distinguished Gentlemen” and used the sport to develop manners among Philadelphia children. The idea stayed with him, and in 2021, with support from a volunteer, he formalized it as an after-school club. “Emotional intelligence is central,” as Frazier says. “It’s about manners, appearances, self-respect and learning how to think before you speak, not reacting with emotions.” He describes the program’s core values as “respect, responsibility, reading, and resilience (复原力)”. The dress code (着装规范) matters at DYG, but the curriculum goes much deeper. The club meets weekly after school, with students required to wear suits, neckties, and dress shoes every other week. Frazier models this daily, viewing disciplined dress as a silent statement: “When you dress right, you don’t have to say a word—it speaks for you.” 24．(2.5分)What impression do the boys leave in the first paragraph? A．They behave decently. B．They are far from professional. C．They are socially awkward. D．They have rich life experience. 25．(2.5分)What inspired Frazier to run DYG? A．A youth basketball team. B．His childhood lessons. C．A volunteer’s suggestion. D．His firefighter training. 26．(2.5分)What is the main focus of DYG according to Frazier? A．Getting good jobs. B．Becoming famous. C．Looking good in suits. D．Learning self-control. 27．(2.5分)What can be inferred about Frazier from the last paragraph? A．He insists on daily uniform wear. B．He thinks dressing well is easy. C．He leads by example in dress. D．He values discipline as a skill. 【答案】24．A 25．B 26．D 27．C 【导语】文章主要讲述了退休消防员Frazier创办DYG俱乐部，通过礼仪教育与着装规范培养青少年的品格与自信。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第一段中“They shake hands with firm grips (紧握) and maintain eye contact while speaking. They are gentlemen carrying themselves with confidence that turns heads.(他们握手时紧握对方手掌，说话时保持眼神交流。他们是举止自信、引人注目的绅士)”可知，这些男孩行为得体，给人留下深刻印象。 25．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Growing up in North Philadelphia, Frazier’s father taught him how to tie a necktie, polish his shoes, and look people in the eye while speaking. Those lessons stuck, following him through military service and through a 26-year career with the Philadelphia Fire Department.(在北费城长大的过程中，弗雷泽的父亲教他如何打领带、擦皮鞋以及说话时直视他人的眼睛。这些教诲一直伴随着他，贯穿了他的军旅生涯以及在费城消防局长达26年的职业生涯)”可知，童年时期父亲传授的礼仪课程启发了弗雷泽创办DYG。 26．细节理解题。根据第六段中Frazier所说的话“Emotional intelligence is central(情商是关键)”以及“It’s about manners, appearances, self-respect and learning how to think before you speak, not reacting with emotions.(这关乎礼仪、仪表、自尊以及学会三思而后行，而非情绪化地做出反应)”可知，DYG的核心在于教导学生学会自控。 27．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Frazier models this daily, viewing disciplined dress as a silent statement(弗雷泽每天以身作则践行这一点，将严守着装规范视为一种无声的宣言)”可知，弗雷泽在日常着装方面率先垂范，做到了言传身教。 （本题10分）Community service, often defined as voluntary work intended to help people in a particular area, has been added to high school curricula(课程) worldwide. One of the main reasons for adding community service to high school education is its obvious impact on personal growth and development. Through community service, students gain valuable life skills that traditional classroom instruction may not fully provide. Moreover, community service provides a real-world context for students to apply academic(学术的) knowledge. For example, a student interested in biology might volunteer at a local animal shelter or take part in conservation projects, gaining practical experience that enriches his/her understanding of classroom theories. Another important benefit of community service is that it helps high school students develop social responsibility and social awareness. By doing community service activities, students become more aware of societal issues. And they will realize the importance of contributing to the common good. Despite its benefits, the introduction of community service to high school curricula is not without challenges. One common concern is that community service may add more stress to high school students who are already under a lot of pressure. Balancing academics, extracurricular activities and personal affairs can be hard, and community service might make them more tired and stressed. Additionally, the quality and accessibility of community service opportunities can be different in different areas. Students in schools or communities with few resources may have fewer opportunities for meaningful service experiences. This actually widens the gap between students. In conclusion, while community service in high school presents certain challenges, its benefits for personal growth and academic enrichment are clear. By adding community service to high school curricula, educators can equip students with essential life skills, develop their sense of public duty and increase their social awareness. Community service not only prepares students for future academic and professional plans but also shapes helpful citizens who are willing to make a positive difference to their communities. 28．(2.5分)What does the author want to tell us in paragraph 2? A．The benefits of community service. B．The importance of learning life skills. C．The advantages of gaining practical experiences. D．The necessity of developing social responsibility. 29．(2.5分)What’s the concern about adding community service to high school education? A．It leads to decrease in extracurricular activities. B．It challenges traditional classroom instruction. C．It increases students’ pressure. D．It affects school work. 30．(2.5分)According to paragraph 4, what may lead to unfairness between students? A．The different academic tasks. B．The unequal access to resources. C．The lack of social awareness. D．The individual differences. 31．(2.5分)What does the author think of community service? A．It takes up too much of students’ study time. B．It should be promoted worldwide. C．It aims to develop academic talents. D．It has a positive influence on students. 【答案】28．A 29．C 30．B 31．D 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要围绕将社区服务纳入高中课程这一话题展开，既论述了社区服务对高中生的诸多益处，也分析了推行该举措面临的挑战，最后作者总结了社区服务对学生成长发展的积极价值。 【详解】28．主旨大意题。通过阅读第二段内容可知，该段首句“One of the main reasons for adding community service to high school education is its obvious impact on personal growth and development.(将社区服务纳入高中教育的主要原因之一，是它对个人成长和发展具有明显的影响。)”点明段落主旨：社区服务纳入高中教育对个人成长发展有显著作用，并在该段后文通过“Through community service, students gain valuable life skills that traditional classroom instruction may not fully provide. Moreover, community service provides a real-world context for students to apply academic knowledge.(通过社区服务，学生能够获得传统课堂教学难以完全提供的宝贵生活技能。此外，社区服务为学生提供了应用学术知识的现实场景。)”以及“Another important benefit of community service is that it helps high school students develop social responsibility and social awareness.(社区服务的另一个重要益处是，它有助于高中生培养社会责任感和社会意识。)”详细讲述了其益处。因此，整段围绕社区服务的诸多益处展开。 29．细节理解题。根据文章第三段内容“One common concern is that community service may add more stress to high school students who are already under a lot of pressure.(一个普遍的担忧是，社区服务可能会给本就承受巨大压力的高中生带来更多的压力。)”可知，人们担忧该举措会增加学生的压力。 30．细节理解题。根据文章第四段内容“Additionally, the quality and accessibility of community service opportunities can be different in different areas. Students in schools or communities with few resources may have fewer opportunities for meaningful service experiences. This actually widens the gap between students.(此外，不同地区社区服务机会的质量和可及性可能存在差异。资源匮乏的学校或社区的学生可能获得有意义的服务体验的机会更少，这实际上拉大学生之间的差距。)”可知，不同地区社区服务资源、机会不均；资源匮乏地区的学生缺少有意义的实践机会，拉大学生间差距。因此，资源获取的不平等会造成学生之间的不公平。 31．推理判断题。根据文章末尾段内容“In conclusion, while community service in high school presents certain challenges, its benefits for personal growth and academic enrichment are clear.(总之，尽管高中阶段的社区服务存在一些挑战，但其对个人成长和学业拓展带来的益处是显而易见的。)”可知，作者认为社区服务对学生有积极影响。 （本题10分）If you feel lonely, you’re actually in good company. In a survey conducted last year in the U.S., 20 percent of adults reported feeling lonely, and this feeling is not limited to the U.S. But scientists believe there may be even higher global rates of people who feel lonely than reported — particularly young adults. According to the World Health Organization, the world is experiencing a global health crisis — loneliness. Today, many live isolated (隔离的) lives. People used to belong to a variety of social clubs where they met face-to-face, whereas now, life seems to have shifted online, where people shop, hold work meetings, date, play games, etc. In fact, American adults spend significantly less time socializing face-to-face than they did 20 years ago. Adults in other countries are no better. The issue of loneliness in South Korea has attracted national attention as young people are spending more time at home by themselves. In Singapore, the trend (趋势) is for people to believe that they need to manage their emotions by themselves. Psychologists agree this can be healthy; however, clinical psychologist Haikal Jamil warns that too much self-reliance (自立) is dangerous if people don’t connect with others because they view it as being weak. Mental health experts say that even though there is digital connection, loneliness among young adults is high because their communication is usually shallow. Jamil says, “Online connections tend to focus on brief, surface-level exchanges such as likes, comments and short messages, rather than supportive conversations.” How can we fight this crisis? A U.S. study found that when people like what they do every day, whether work or a hobby, their chances of experiencing loneliness reduce. Additionally, exercising or taking courses where they may meet people helps people feel active and productive, giving them the mental energy needed to interact with others, thus improving their mental health. More importantly, many people need to be aware that being alone does not necessarily mean loneliness, and learning how to be with ourselves and enjoy it could be very beneficial. The battle against loneliness isn’t easy, but the methods above can be a start. 32．(2.5分)What is the situation regarding loneliness? A．It mainly hits elderly citizens. B．It exists mainly in Western nations. C．The actual rates are lower than reported. D．It has become a worldwide health problem. 33．(2.5分)What leads to today’s loneliness according to the text? A．Increased online activities. B．Bad self-emotion management. C．Too many social clubs and meetings. D．False belief to build new relationships. 34．(2.5分)Which of the following activities may the author agree with to deal with loneliness? A．Focusing on honest online chats. B．Engaging in enjoyable daily activities. C．Taking more classes to learn self-control. D．Spending more time alone to build strength. 35．(2.5分)What is the text mainly about? A．Expressing and controlling emotions. B．Developing and showing social skills. C．Accepting and handling loneliness. D．Analyzing and improving mental condition. 【答案】32．D 33．A 34．B 35．C 【导语】文章主要讲述了孤独已成为全球健康危机，并分析了其原因及应对方法。 【详解】32．细节理解题。​根据第二段中“According to the World Health Organization, the world is experiencing a global health crisis — loneliness.(根据世界卫生组织，世界正在经历一场全球健康危机——孤独)”可知，孤独已成为一个全球性的健康问题。 33．细节理解题。​根据第二段中“People used to belong to a variety of social clubs where they met face-to-face, whereas now, life seems to have shifted online, where people shop, hold work meetings, date, play games etc.(人们过去常参加各种社交俱乐部进行面对面交流，而现在，生活似乎已转移到线上，人们在网上购物、开工作会议、约会、玩游戏等)”可知，如今孤独的原因是线上活动的增加。 34．细节理解题。​根据最后一段中“A U.S. study found that when people like what they do every day, whether work or a hobby, their chances of experiencing loneliness reduce.(一项美国研究发现，当人们喜欢自己每天所做的事情时，无论是工作还是爱好，他们经历孤独的几率就会降低)”可知，作者可能会同意参与令人愉快的每日活动来应对孤独。 35．主旨大意题。​ 通读全文可知，文章开篇指出孤独已成为全球健康危机，接着分析了导致孤独的原因（如生活向线上转移、线上交流肤浅等），最后一段提出了对抗这一危机的方法（如做喜欢的事、锻炼、学会独处等），即文章主要关于接受和处理孤独。 （本题12.5分）You may have this kind of frustrating experience: You know exactly what needs to be done — clear the mail off your desk, put away the laundry — but can’t seem to begin. It is often made worse by all-or-nothing thinking. That is, “If I can’t do it all, I’m just not going to start”. 36(2.5分) Instead of seeing a few dishes, the brain jumps ahead to the entire job — making the kitchen look like a showroom. One simple way to change the situation is the “five things” approach: 37(2.5分) Doing just five things can interrupt the cycle of paralysis (瘫痪) by making the task feel manageable. “It’s small enough that the nervous system doesn’t see it as an overly taxing demand,” therapist Margaret Sigel says. 38(2.5分) It shows the brain in real time that action is possible and that the environment is becoming more manageable, which can help reduce that sense of threat. “When getting those safety cues, people often find that they can keep going.” Sigel explains. In other words, even if you haven’t cleaned everything, you’ve changed your brain’s perception (感知) of the task. Once that shift happens, something else often follows: motivation. After putting away five things, you might pick up a few more. 39(2.5分) Any amount counts. The point isn’t to force productivity — it’s to prove to yourself that starting is possible. There’s another way to ensure this approach changes how you think about effort. You can rate expected difficulty and relief before, and actual feelings after putting away five things. By keeping track, you’ll find that getting started is not tough. 40(2.5分) A．The more, the better. B．Or you might stop, and that’s OK. C．Our brains perform best when we continuously challenge them. D．Just put away a handful of items rather than clean an entire room. E．Completing even a tiny task also sends a powerful signal to the brain. F．And once that perception begins to shift, getting unstuck becomes easier. G．The mindset can turn manageable tasks into something impossible to tackle. 【答案】36．G 37．D 38．E 39．B 40．F 【导语】本文介绍“五件事”方法，帮助人们克服“要么全做要么不做”的思维，从小任务入手摆脱拖延。 【详解】36．由上文“That is, “If I can’t do it all, I’m just not going to start”.(也就是说：“如果我不能全部做完，那我干脆就不开始”)”可知，此处介绍“全有或全无”的思维模式，G项“The mindset can turn manageable tasks into something impossible to tackle.(这种思维会把本可以完成的任务变成难以处理的难题)”中“The mindset”指代上文all-or-nothing thinking，承接上文，引出下文大脑会放大工作量的内容。 37．由上文“One simple way to change the situation is the “five things” approach:(改变这种状况的一个简单方法是“五件事”法：)”可知，空格处要解释这个方法的具体含义，D项“Just put away a handful of items rather than clean an entire room.(只收拾几件物品，而不是打扫整个房间)”对该方法进行具体阐释，和下文“Doing just five things”呼应。 38．由下文“It shows the brain in real time that action is possible and that the environment is becoming more manageable, which can help reduce that sense of threat.(它实时向大脑表明行动是可行的，环境变得更容易处理，这有助于减轻那种危机感)”可知，空格处要说明完成小事对大脑的作用，E项“Completing even a tiny task also sends a powerful signal to the brain.(哪怕完成一件微小的任务，也会向大脑传递一个有力信号)”符合语境，其中a powerful signal对应下文It。 39．由上文“After putting away five things, you might pick up a few more.(收拾完五件东西后，你可能会再多收拾几件)”以及下文“Any amount counts.(无论做多少都算数)”可知，空格处表示另一种可能性，B项“Or you might stop, and that’s OK.(或者你可以停下来，这也没关系)”与上文 might pick up构成并列选择关系。 40．由上文“By keeping track, you’ll find that getting started is not tough.(持续记录，你会发现开始行动并不难)”可知，空格处继续描述认知转变带来的结果，F项“And once that perception begins to shift, getting unstuck becomes easier.(一旦这种认知开始转变，摆脱停滞状态就会更容易)”承接上文getting started is not tough。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）My dad is 68 and on a fixed income. He is too 41 to ask for help, but I know money is tight. Yesterday, I went grocery shopping with him. He spent twenty minutes 42 everything in his head, choosing generic brands and 43 items back — doing that math my generation doesn’t have to do anymore. At checkout, his card 44 . He wasn’t even surprised; he just quietly asked the cashier to remove items until the total 45 worked. The woman behind us in line, who didn’t look 46 at all, suddenly 47 and said, “Ring it all up on mine.” My dad refused. But the woman 48 . He refused harder, his face turning slightly red. She looked him 49 in the eye and said, “Sir, someone did this for my family when I was 7 years old. I remember how 50 it made my dad feel to be unable to provide. But I also remember how we ate that week. Let me pay it forward. You can pay me back by doing the same for someone else when you are 51 .” She paid $83 for his groceries and 52 to give her name.

Her younger brother Jake often called her “the human perfection machine”. One Saturday, their parents announced a family outing to a nearby lake. Lily packed her bag with sketchbooks (写生本), paints, and a set of brushes, imagining the perfect landscape she would create — the kind of painting that would look like a photograph. When they arrived, Lily found a flat rock by the water, set up her materials, and began sketching the scene before her. She measured the hills against the sky, adjusted the angle of each tree branch, and mixed the paints on her palette (调色盘) like a scientist doing an experiment. She leaned in close, her brush hanging in the air for a long time before it touched the paper. Every stroke was carefully planned. She frowned as she focused and hardly noticed the laughter around her. Some children were playing nearby, and some others were chatting on the grass, but Lily didn’t look up. The world around her had shrunk to the size of her sketchbook. While Lily was capturing every detail, her younger brother Jake had been walking along the shoreline since early afternoon, getting bored with the quiet scenery. He kicked at stones, threw sticks into the water, and sang loudly, hoping for something fun to happen. Each time Lily glanced up, she found Jake making faces or pretending to fish with a long branch. She waved him away, but he only moved a few steps off before coming back. “Jake, just leave me alone!” she said, yet the boy stayed nearby, his constant movement a quiet contrast to her deep focus. 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。 Para. 1: Suddenly, something unexpected happened. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para. 2: Hearing their words, Lily felt something inside her loosen. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Para. 1: Suddenly, something unexpected happened. A strong wind blew across the lake, and Jake, who was running after a butterfly, knocked over Lily’s paint box by accident. The red and blue paints spilled across her carefully drawn picture, ruining the perfect scene that she had spent hours creating. Lily stared in shock, and tears came to her eyes. The nearby children ran over at once. One boy said that the mixed colors looked like a beautiful sunset, and a girl added that the painting had become more lively than before. Para. 2: Hearing their words, Lily felt something inside her loosen. She looked at the painting again and realized that what the children said was true. The messy colors had created a warm and lively picture, which was even more touching than her earlier perfect plan. She smiled at Jake and thanked him for the “happy accident.” Then she put down her brush and joined the children who were playing games on the grass. That afternoon, Lily learned that beauty did not always lie in perfection; sometimes, the most wonderful moments came from the little surprises that life gave you. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。Lily是一个凡事追求完美的女孩，弟弟Jake戏称她为“完美机器”。一个周六全家去湖边游玩，Lily专心致志想要画出如同照片一般完美的风景画，全然忽略周边玩乐的人群。弟弟Jake在岸边感到无聊，不断在附近打闹嬉戏，打扰沉浸作画的莉莉，Lily对此十分不满，让弟弟不要来打扰自己。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首可知，第一段可以描写意外事件：大风中Jake碰翻颜料盒，毁掉Lily耗费许久精心绘制的画作，描写Lily震惊难过的反应，再写周围孩子上前安慰，给出不一样的评价。 ②由第二段句首可知，第二段可以描写Lily听完话语后内心转变，重新看待被弄脏的画作，原谅Jake，放下画笔加入孩子们玩耍，最后升华主旨：美并非总源于完美，生活的意外惊喜也弥足珍贵。 2.续写线索：意外发生打翻颜料——完美画作被毁——Lily伤心失落——有人给出新视角——Lily内心释怀转变认知——领悟不完美也有美感的人生道理。 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①打翻：knock over/upset/tip over ②跑：run/rush 情绪类 ①震惊：shock/astonishment ②流泪：tears come to one’s eyes/eyes are filled with tears 【点睛】【高分句型1】A strong wind blew across the lake, and Jake, who was running after a butterfly, knocked over Lily’s paint box by accident.

In my class, there were students who could raise a hand without trembling, who could read aloud as if their voices were made for attention. I was not one of them. When our English teacher announced a storytelling contest, my stomach tightened. “Everyone will try,” she said, smiling as if it were a gift. My classmates began discussing topics immediately. I kept my eyes on my notebook, pretending to be busy. That afternoon, while I was cleaning the blackboard, I found a crumpled card under the teacher’s desk. It was a judging card from last year, with a sentence written on the back: “Speak to one person, not to a crowd.” I didn’t know who wrote it, but the words felt like a quiet hand on my shoulder. At home, I practiced in front of the mirror. The mirror offered no applause, only my own nervous face. On the day of the contest, the auditorium lights looked brighter than usual. My hands were cold, and my mouth felt dry. When my name was called, I stepped onto the stage and saw rows of blurred faces. For a moment, I wanted to run. Then I remembered the card in my pocket. 续写要求： 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。 Paragraph 1: I took a deep breath and searched for just one face in the audience. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: After the contest, I unfolded the card once more and understood it differently. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Paragraph 1: I took a deep breath and searched for just one face in the audience. I noticed my English teacher, who was sitting in the front row and giving me a supportive smile. Her smile made me feel that I was not alone and that I had someone who believed in me. I focused on her face and began to tell my story as if I were speaking only to her, ignoring the rest of the crowd. As I spoke, I found that my nervousness gradually faded away, and I felt more and more confident.Paragraph 2: After the contest, I unfolded the card once more and understood it differently. The sentence “Speak to one person, not to a crowd” not only gave me courage during the contest but also taught me a valuable lesson. It reminded me that confidence comes from within and that I should not be afraid to express myself, no matter who is listening. What matters is that I believe in myself and my abilities, which is what the card had been trying to tell me all along. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述作者曾认为自信属于他人，自己总是紧张不自信。英语老师宣布讲故事比赛时，作者很紧张。偶然作者发现一张写有鼓励话语的卡片，比赛当天紧张至极时，作者想起了它。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“我深吸一口气，在观众中努力寻找一张熟悉的面孔。”可知，第一段可以描写作者在观众中找到老师，描写老师的表情带来的心理感受，接着写作者专注于她讲述故事，以及讲述过程中心态的变化。 ②由第二段句首内容“比赛结束后，我再次展开那张卡片，对上面的话有了新的理解。”可知，第二段可以描写作者重新理解卡片上的话，点明这句话带来的勇气和教会的道理，进而升华对自信的认知，点出卡片话语的真正内涵。 2.续写线索：深呼吸找观众面孔 —— 看到老师的鼓励微笑 —— 专注她讲述故事 —— 紧张感消退变得自信 —— 赛后重读卡片——有新理解 —— 领悟话语内涵与自信的真谛 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①注意到：notice/spot/observe ②支持性地微笑：give a supportive smile/smile supportively ③专注于：focus on/concentrate on/fix one’s attention on 情绪类 ①紧张：nervousness/anxiety/tension ②自信：confidence/self-assurance/self-confidence 【点睛】【高分句型1】I noticed my English teacher, who was sitting in the front row and giving me a supportive smile.

Let’s check out several excellent red-themed practice platforms that can bring revolutionary history and spirit to life for your child’s school learning experience. Revolutionary History Virtual Museums To make revolutionary history accessible and engaging, the National Museum of China has launched a series of virtual red-themed museums. These online exhibitions feature 3D interactive views of historic sites, interactive timelines of major revolutionary events, and audio stories of revolutionary martyrs. Students can “visit” iconic sites like the Nanhu Red Boat and the Zunyi Meeting Site from home, and learn about the struggles and sacrifices of the older generation. Red Culture Storytelling Competitions Organized by the Communist Youth League of China, this annual competition encourages students to explore local red history, collect stories of revolutionary heroes, and present them in creative forms like speeches, short plays, or short videos. Open to students from primary to high school, it also provides free training workshops on historical research and public speaking for all participants. Red-themed Social Practice Camps Run by local education authorities and red culture research institutions, these offline camps take students to real revolutionary memorial sites, old revolutionary base areas, and memorial halls. During the 3-5 day camps, students can take part in hands-on activities like experiencing wartime life, making military supplies, and interviewing veterans. The camps also include group discussions to help students truly understand the red spirit. Red Spirit Lecture Series This online lecture series invites historians, veterans, and descendants of revolutionary martyrs to share their insights and personal stories. Each lecture focuses on a specific red spirit, such as the Long March Spirit, the Yan’an Spirit, and the Two Bombs, One Satellite Spirit. The lectures are recorded and available on the official education platform, allowing students to watch at their own pace and join live Q&A sessions. 21．(2.5分)What is available in the virtual museums?

They shake hands with firm grips (紧握) and maintain eye contact while speaking. They are gentlemen carrying themselves with confidence that turns heads. For many of them, this is their first time to wear a suit. One student puts it plainly, “The first time I ever wore a suit was when I joined the Distinguished Young Gentlemen (DYG). I think I look handsome in it.” At the heart of all this is Dwayne Eric Frazier, a teacher and retired firefighter. He built the DYG club from scratch, transforming it from an after-school initiative into a registered nonprofit dedicated to impacting lives well beyond the classroom. Growing up in North Philadelphia, Frazier’s father taught him how to tie a necktie, polish his shoes, and look people in the eye while speaking. Those lessons stuck, following him through military service and through a 26-year career with the Philadelphia Fire Department. DYG’s roots go back to 1996, when Frazier coached a youth basketball team called the “Distinguished Gentlemen” and used the sport to develop manners among Philadelphia children. The idea stayed with him, and in 2021, with support from a volunteer, he formalized it as an after-school club. “Emotional intelligence is central,” as Frazier says. “It’s about manners, appearances, self-respect and learning how to think before you speak, not reacting with emotions.” He describes the program’s core values as “respect, responsibility, reading, and resilience (复原力)”. The dress code (着装规范) matters at DYG, but the curriculum goes much deeper. The club meets weekly after school, with students required to wear suits, neckties, and dress shoes every other week. Frazier models this daily, viewing disciplined dress as a silent statement: “When you dress right, you don’t have to say a word—it speaks for you.” 24．(2.5分)What impression do the boys leave in the first paragraph? A．They behave decently. B．They are far from professional. C．They are socially awkward. D．They have rich life experience. 25．(2.5分)What inspired Frazier to run DYG? A．A youth basketball team. B．His childhood lessons. C．A volunteer’s suggestion. D．His firefighter training. 26．(2.5分)What is the main focus of DYG according to Frazier? A．Getting good jobs. B．Becoming famous. C．Looking good in suits. D．Learning self-control. 27．(2.5分)What can be inferred about Frazier from the last paragraph? A．He insists on daily uniform wear. B．He thinks dressing well is easy. C．He leads by example in dress. D．He values discipline as a skill. （本题10分）Community service, often defined as voluntary work intended to help people in a particular area, has been added to high school curricula(课程) worldwide. One of the main reasons for adding community service to high school education is its obvious impact on personal growth and development. Through community service, students gain valuable life skills that traditional classroom instruction may not fully provide. Moreover, community service provides a real-world context for students to apply academic(学术的) knowledge. For example, a student interested in biology might volunteer at a local animal shelter or take part in conservation projects, gaining practical experience that enriches his/her understanding of classroom theories. Another important benefit of community service is that it helps high school students develop social responsibility and social awareness. By doing community service activities, students become more aware of societal issues. And they will realize the importance of contributing to the common good. Despite its benefits, the introduction of community service to high school curricula is not without challenges. One common concern is that community service may add more stress to high school students who are already under a lot of pressure. Balancing academics, extracurricular activities and personal affairs can be hard, and community service might make them more tired and stressed. Additionally, the quality and accessibility of community service opportunities can be different in different areas. Students in schools or communities with few resources may have fewer opportunities for meaningful service experiences. This actually widens the gap between students. In conclusion, while community service in high school presents certain challenges, its benefits for personal growth and academic enrichment are clear. By adding community service to high school curricula, educators can equip students with essential life skills, develop their sense of public duty and increase their social awareness. Community service not only prepares students for future academic and professional plans but also shapes helpful citizens who are willing to make a positive difference to their communities. 28．(2.5分)What does the author want to tell us in paragraph 2? A．The benefits of community service. B．The importance of learning life skills. C．The advantages of gaining practical experiences. D．The necessity of developing social responsibility. 29．(2.5分)What’s the concern about adding community service to high school education? A．It leads to decrease in extracurricular activities. B．It challenges traditional classroom instruction. C．It increases students’ pressure. D．It affects school work. 30．(2.5分)According to paragraph 4, what may lead to unfairness between students? A．The different academic tasks. B．The unequal access to resources. C．The lack of social awareness. D．The individual differences. 31．(2.5分)What does the author think of community service? A．It takes up too much of students’ study time. B．It should be promoted worldwide. C．It aims to develop academic talents. D．It has a positive influence on students. （本题10分）If you feel lonely, you’re actually in good company. In a survey conducted last year in the U.S., 20 percent of adults reported feeling lonely, and this feeling is not limited to the U.S. But scientists believe there may be even higher global rates of people who feel lonely than reported — particularly young adults. According to the World Health Organization, the world is experiencing a global health crisis — loneliness. Today, many live isolated (隔离的) lives. People used to belong to a variety of social clubs where they met face-to-face, whereas now, life seems to have shifted online, where people shop, hold work meetings, date, play games, etc. In fact, American adults spend significantly less time socializing face-to-face than they did 20 years ago. Adults in other countries are no better. The issue of loneliness in South Korea has attracted national attention as young people are spending more time at home by themselves. In Singapore, the trend (趋势) is for people to believe that they need to manage their emotions by themselves. Psychologists agree this can be healthy; however, clinical psychologist Haikal Jamil warns that too much self-reliance (自立) is dangerous if people don’t connect with others because they view it as being weak. Mental health experts say that even though there is digital connection, loneliness among young adults is high because their communication is usually shallow. Jamil says, “Online connections tend to focus on brief, surface-level exchanges such as likes, comments and short messages, rather than supportive conversations.” How can we fight this crisis? A U.S. study found that when people like what they do every day, whether work or a hobby, their chances of experiencing loneliness reduce. Additionally, exercising or taking courses where they may meet people helps people feel active and productive, giving them the mental energy needed to interact with others, thus improving their mental health. More importantly, many people need to be aware that being alone does not necessarily mean loneliness, and learning how to be with ourselves and enjoy it could be very beneficial. The battle against loneliness isn’t easy, but the methods above can be a start. 32．(2.5分)What is the situation regarding loneliness? A．It mainly hits elderly citizens. B．It exists mainly in Western nations. C．The actual rates are lower than reported. D．It has become a worldwide health problem. 33．(2.5分)What leads to today’s loneliness according to the text? A．Increased online activities. B．Bad self-emotion management. C．Too many social clubs and meetings. D．False belief to build new relationships. 34．(2.5分)Which of the following activities may the author agree with to deal with loneliness? A．Focusing on honest online chats. B．Engaging in enjoyable daily activities. C．Taking more classes to learn self-control. D．Spending more time alone to build strength. 35．(2.5分)What is the text mainly about? A．Expressing and controlling emotions. B．Developing and showing social skills. C．Accepting and handling loneliness. D．Analyzing and improving mental condition. （本题12.5分）You may have this kind of frustrating experience: You know exactly what needs to be done — clear the mail off your desk, put away the laundry — but can’t seem to begin. It is often made worse by all-or-nothing thinking. That is, “If I can’t do it all, I’m just not going to start”. 36(2.5分) Instead of seeing a few dishes, the brain jumps ahead to the entire job — making the kitchen look like a showroom. One simple way to change the situation is the “five things” approach: 37(2.5分) Doing just five things can interrupt the cycle of paralysis (瘫痪) by making the task feel manageable. “It’s small enough that the nervous system doesn’t see it as an overly taxing demand,” therapist Margaret Sigel says. 38(2.5分) It shows the brain in real time that action is possible and that the environment is becoming more manageable, which can help reduce that sense of threat. “When getting those safety cues, people often find that they can keep going.” Sigel explains. In other words, even if you haven’t cleaned everything, you’ve changed your brain’s perception (感知) of the task. Once that shift happens, something else often follows: motivation. After putting away five things, you might pick up a few more. 39(2.5分) Any amount counts. The point isn’t to force productivity — it’s to prove to yourself that starting is possible. There’s another way to ensure this approach changes how you think about effort. You can rate expected difficulty and relief before, and actual feelings after putting away five things. By keeping track, you’ll find that getting started is not tough. 40(2.5分) A．The more, the better. B．Or you might stop, and that’s OK. C．Our brains perform best when we continuously challenge them. D．Just put away a handful of items rather than clean an entire room. E．Completing even a tiny task also sends a powerful signal to the brain. F．And once that perception begins to shift, getting unstuck becomes easier. G．The mindset can turn manageable tasks into something impossible to tackle. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）My dad is 68 and on a fixed income. He is too 41 to ask for help, but I know money is tight.

Her younger brother Jake often called her “the human perfection machine”. One Saturday, their parents announced a family outing to a nearby lake. Lily packed her bag with sketchbooks (写生本), paints, and a set of brushes, imagining the perfect landscape she would create — the kind of painting that would look like a photograph. When they arrived, Lily found a flat rock by the water, set up her materials, and began sketching the scene before her. She measured the hills against the sky, adjusted the angle of each tree branch, and mixed the paints on her palette (调色盘) like a scientist doing an experiment. She leaned in close, her brush hanging in the air for a long time before it touched the paper. Every stroke was carefully planned. She frowned as she focused and hardly noticed the laughter around her. Some children were playing nearby, and some others were chatting on the grass, but Lily didn’t look up. The world around her had shrunk to the size of her sketchbook. While Lily was capturing every detail, her younger brother Jake had been walking along the shoreline since early afternoon, getting bored with the quiet scenery. He kicked at stones, threw sticks into the water, and sang loudly, hoping for something fun to happen. Each time Lily glanced up, she found Jake making faces or pretending to fish with a long branch. She waved him away, but he only moved a few steps off before coming back. “Jake, just leave me alone!” she said, yet the boy stayed nearby, his constant movement a quiet contrast to her deep focus. 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。 Para. 1: Suddenly, something unexpected happened. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para. 2: Hearing their words, Lily felt something inside her loosen. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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。 I used to believe confidence belonged to other people. In my class, there were students who could raise a hand without trembling, who could read aloud as if their voices were made for attention. I was not one of them. When our English teacher announced a storytelling contest, my stomach tightened. “Everyone will try,” she said, smiling as if it were a gift. My classmates began discussing topics immediately. I kept my eyes on my notebook, pretending to be busy. That afternoon, while I was cleaning the blackboard, I found a crumpled card under the teacher’s desk. It was a judging card from last year, with a sentence written on the back: “Speak to one person, not to a crowd.” I didn’t know who wrote it, but the words felt like a quiet hand on my shoulder. At home, I practiced in front of the mirror. The mirror offered no applause, only my own nervous face. On the day of the contest, the auditorium lights looked brighter than usual. My hands were cold, and my mouth felt dry. When my name was called, I stepped onto the stage and saw rows of blurred faces. For a moment, I wanted to run. Then I remembered the card in my pocket. 续写要求： 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。 Paragraph 1: I took a deep breath and searched for just one face in the audience. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: After the contest, I unfolded the card once more and understood it differently. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I took a deep breath and searched for just one face in the audience. I noticed my English teacher, who was sitting in the front row and giving me a supportive smile. Her smile made me feel that I was not alone and that I had someone who believed in me. I focused on her face and began to tell my story as if I were speaking only to her, ignoring the rest of the crowd. As I spoke, I found that my nervousness gradually faded away, and I felt more and more confident.Paragraph 2: 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
