期中复习考前押题组合练 （阅读填表+短文首字母填空5篇+完形5篇+阅读10篇+写作） 一、阅读填表 阅读下面短文，根据所读内容，在文章后第1—6小题的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词，回答7—8两个问题。 As junior high students, we often face difficult moments: a math test we fail, a speech we struggle with, or a sport we can’t master. How we think about these challenges is important—and that’s where “growth mindset” comes in. A growth mindset means believing our abilities can get better, rather than being unchangeable all the time. People with a growth mindset usually focus on the process, effort and improvement not the result. This is different from a “fixed mindset” where people think “I’m bad at math” or “I’ll never be good at speaking”. With a growth mindset, you say, “I’m not good at this yet — but I can learn”. Let’s take school life as an example. Suppose you get a low score on a science quiz. A fixed mindset makes you feel angry and hopeless: “I’m just not a science person”. But with a growth mindset, you look at your mistakes calmly. You ask the teacher for help, redo the wrong questions, study those topics more and even use the colour therapy. Next time, your score might be improved! It’s not about being perfect now — it’s about trying to get better step by step. Growing this mindset isn’t hard. Above all, use the word “yet” often. Instead of “I can’t do this”, say “I can’t do this yet”. Also, when you face a setback, stay calm and don’t let your feelings like anger or sadness control you. Remember that mistakes are part of learning. Moreover, celebrate small progress. Cheer for your small steps forward after working out a difficult math problem. Having a growth mindset helps us not just in school, but in life. It gives us courage to try new things when we fail. So let’s start thinking “I can grow” — and see how far we can go! As teenagers, we often face difficult moments. Our 1 about hard situations matter a lot—and that’s exactly when “growth mindset” plays a role. The meaning of a growth mindset A growth mindset means thinking our skills can develop instead of being fixed forever. With a growth mindset, people pay more attention to how hard they try and how much they 2 instead of only caring about the result itself. An 3 of a growth mindset People with a growth mindset may face the mistakes in a 4 way. Go to the teacher, redo the wrong questions, study more and even try the colour therapy if he or she gets low marks in science exams. The methods of having a growth mindset ●Use the word “yet” often. Say “I can’t do this yet” instead of “I can’t do this”. ●Stay calm and control your feelings when 5 a setback. ●Celebrate small progress, like 6 one hard math problem. 7.

Today, thanks to AI coding assistants like Codex, that number has dropped to 22%. What caused this dramatic change? Traditional coding education required students to memorize exact syntax—the specific rules of a programming language. A missing comma or a capital letter in the wrong place would cause the entire program to fail. Many students gave up after their first few errors. “I felt stupid,” said Li Ming, a 14-year-old from Guangzhou. “I would spend an hour looking for a typo. It wasn’t teaching me how to solve problems. It was just teaching me to be frustrated.” Codex changes this learning model entirely. Instead of typing code from memory, students describe what they want the program to do in everyday language. Codex then generates the code. The student’s job shifts from “getting the syntax right” to “checking if the code does what they intended.” This is a fundamental shift in the learning process. Educational psychologist Dr. Liu Wei explains: “When students use Codex, they spend less time on mechanical details and more time on logical thinking. They ask questions like ‘Why did the program do that?’ and ‘How could I make it better?’ These are exactly the higher-order thinking skills we want to develop.” However, not everyone is celebrating. Some educators worry that students will become dependent on AI and never learn to code on their own. Professor Zhang from Beijing University warns: “Codex is a tool, not a replacement for learning. Students still need to understand basic programming concepts. If they rely on Codex for everything, they will be lost when the AI makes a mistake or when they need to work without it.” The solution, many experts agree, is a balanced approach. Schools should teach traditional coding fundamentals alongside AI-assisted coding. Students should learn to read and understand code, even if they don’t write every line from scratch. They should also learn to debug—find and fix errors—because even AI-generated code can have problems. Several schools have already adopted this model. At Shanghai’s No. 2 Middle School, students spend 40% of their coding time working without AI assistance and 60% using Codex. Test results show that these students perform better on both AI-assisted and non-AI coding tests compared to students who use only one method. The message is clear: AI is not the enemy of learning. When used wisely, it can be the best teacher a student ever had. How AI Coding Assistants Are Changing Education The Problem Before AI Many students were 1 of coding because of strict syntax rules. A small mistake like a missing comma would make the 2 program fail. How Codex Helps Students describe their goals in 3 language, and Codex writes the code. The student’s job becomes checking the 4 instead of fixing syntax. Benefits Students focus more on 5 thinking and less on mechanical details. Concerns Some educators worry that students may become 6 on AI. The Balanced Approach Students should learn both traditional coding 7 and AI-assisted coding. They must also learn to 8 code, because AI-generated code is not always perfect. Your Opinion Do you think AI coding assistants like Codex should be allowed in schools? Why or why not? (Write at least 20 words.) 9 【答案】1．afraid 2．entire 3．everyday 4．code 5．logical 6．dependent 7．fundamentals 8．debug 9．Yes, I think AI coding assistants should be allowed because they help students focus on solving problems instead of worrying about small mistakes. But schools should also teach traditional coding so students understand the basics. 【导语】本文主要讲述了AI编程助手（如Codex）如何改变编程教育，对比了传统编程学习的困难与AI辅助学习的优势，讨论了其中的担忧，并提出了平衡的教学方法。 1．根据文章第1段“68% of middle school students felt ‘afraid’ or ‘nervous’ when learning to code（68% 的中学生在学习编程时感到‘害怕’或‘紧张’）”以及表格中were … of的搭配可知，be afraid of为固定搭配，意为“害怕”。故填afraid。 2．根据文章第2段“A missing comma or a capital letter in the wrong place would cause the entire program to fail（缺少一个逗号或大写字母位置错误会导致整个程序失败）”可推知，小错误会使整个程序失败。故填entire。 3．根据文章第3段“students describe what they want the program to do in everyday language（学生用日常语言描述他们想要程序做什么）”可推知，学生用日常语言描述目标。故填everyday。 4．根据文章第3段“checking if the code does what they intended（检查代码是否达到了他们的预期）”可推知，学生的工作变成了检查代码而不是修复语法。故填code。 5．根据文章第4段“spend less time on mechanical details and more time on logical thinking（花更少时间在机械细节上，更多时间在逻辑思维上）”可推知，学生更专注于逻辑思维。故填logical。 6．根据文章第5段“students will become dependent on AI（学生将变得依赖 AI）”可推知，教育者担心学生可能会依赖AI。故填dependent。 7．根据文章第6段“Schools should teach traditional coding fundamentals alongside AI-assisted coding（学校应该将传统编码基础与AI辅助编码一起教授）”可推知，学生应学习传统编码基础。故填fundamentals。 8．根据文章第6段“They should also learn to debug—find and fix errors（他们也应该学习调试——发现并修复错误）”可推知，学生必须学习调试代码。故填debug。 9．本题为开放性试题，需表达观点并给出理由，且不少于20词。参考答案表达了支持的观点，并提到了逻辑思维基础和避免依赖的理由，符合文意且字数达标。故填Yes, I think AI coding assistants should be allowed in schools. They help students focus on logical thinking, but students must also learn basic coding fundamentals to avoid dependency. 二、完形填空 When Ethan was young, he often felt invisible in class. He was quiet, liked to joke, and wandered without a clear goal. In his early teens, he began staying with friends who cared more about fun than school. They were 1 with being average, and that easygoing attitude seemed harmless at first. But that road gradually led to trouble. High school brought heavy pressure. On one English test, he scored only 26 out of 150—a result that shocked him deeply. He was sent to a lower-level class and 2 his old friends, feeling terribly lonely. Then a single meeting changed everything. He met a college student who was good at games 3 also mastered thousands of English words. Watching someone succeed at both fields opened Ethan’s eyes. The big gap between the student’s progress and his own stagnation (停滞,不发展) made him realize he 4 being ordinary. That summer, Ethan studied harder than ever. 5 others rested, he learned English hard. Under the hot sun he memorized 3,500 new words, which laid the foundation for his later progress. Though he suffered from the 6 of the heat, a strong wish to change grew inside him. On the next test, his score 7 to 59. He did not treat that score as failure; instead, he saw it as a small light in the dark. That improvement gave him confidence. He kept making great efforts, 8 movies in English to improve listening and contextual understanding, and later traveled to the United Kingdom. The trip helped him see more of the world. English gradually stopped being a great pressure and began to serve as a tool for 9 . Now Ethan is a Grade 12 student 10 60 days to Gaokao. His total points increased from 367 to 560, with English reaching 126. 1．A．patient B．satisfied C．bored D．mad 2．A．get away from B．cut back on C．cut off from D．catch up with 3．A．but B．and C．or D．so 4．A．loved B．avoided C．hated D．argued 5．A．If B．Because C．Until D．While 6．A．pain B．shame C．risk D．fear 7．A．rose B．raised C．fell D．moved 8．A．watched B．watch C．watching D．to watch 9．A．success B．freedom C．progress D．trouble 10．A．counting down B．worrying about C．looking forward D．waiting for 【答案】 1．B 2．C 3．B 4．C 5．D 6．A 7．A 8．C 9．C 10．A 【导语】本文讲述Ethan从平庸到奋发的转变。他因成绩差被分班，受大学生启发努力学英语，最终成绩显著提高，备战高考。 1．句意：他们满足于平平常常，这种随遇而安的态度一开始似乎并无害处。 前文提到这些朋友比起学业更在意玩乐，后文说他们随和的态度一开始看似无害，说明他们对“普通平庸”的状态很满足。be satisfied with“对……感到满意”符合语境；patient“耐心的”，bored“无聊的”，mad“疯狂的”，不符合语境。 2．句意：他被分到程度较低的班级，和老朋友断了联系，感到十分孤单。 分到差班之后和原来朋友分开，cut off from“与……隔绝、断绝往来”符合语境；get away from“逃离”，cut back on“削减”，catch up with“赶上”，不符合语境。 3．句意：他认识一名大学生，这名大学生擅长游戏，而且还掌握数千个英语单词。 “擅长游戏”和“掌握大量单词”是并列递进关系，and“并且”符合语境；but“但是”，or“或者”，so“所以”，不符合语境。 4．句意：这名学生的进步和他自身停滞不前之间的巨大差距，让他意识到自己讨厌平庸。 看到别人优秀而自己停滞，因此讨厌自己的平庸状态，hated“讨厌”符合语境；loved“喜爱”，avoided“避免”，argued“争论”，不符合语境。 5．句意：当其他人休息的时候，他努力学习英语。 此处表达两件事同时发生，while“当……的时候”符合语境；if“如果”，because“因为”，until“直到”，不符合语境。 6．句意：尽管他承受着酷暑带来的煎熬，但改变自己的强烈愿望在心底生根发芽。 此处指烈日下背单词身体上的难受，pain“痛苦、煎熬”符合语境；shame“羞愧”，risk“风险”，fear“害怕”，不符合语境。 7．句意：在下一次考试中，他的分数上升到59分。 此处表示分数上涨，rose“上升（不及物）”符合语境；raised“举起，提高（及物，后接宾语）”，fell“下降”，moved“移动”，不符合语境。 8．句意：他持续努力，看英文电影来提升听力和语境理解能力。 本句已有谓语，用现在分词作伴随状语，watching符合语境；watched过去式，watch原形，to watch不定式，不符合语境。 9．句意：英语逐渐不再是一种巨大的压力，而开始成为促进进步的工具。 根据前文“The trip helped him see more of the world.”及后文“His total points increased from 367 to 560, with English reaching 126.”可知，学习英语帮助Ethan拓宽了视野，也让他的成绩不断提高，因此英语成为他取得进步的工具。progress表示“进步”，符合语境。success“成功”；freedom“自由”；trouble“麻烦”均不符合语境。 10．句意：现在伊桑是一名高三学生，距离高考还有60天。 此处表示考前的倒计时，counting down“倒计时”符合语境；worrying about“担心”，looking forward（缺少to，搭配不完整），waiting for“等待”，不符合语境。 Alex was an “invisible (隐形的) boy” at school. His voice was seldom heard in class. He had grown so used to the 1 around him that he believed he was meant to be alone. One Wednesday, everything changed. The science teacher announced an important partner project. Alex felt 2 immediately. He watched as everyone quickly paired up. He sat there silently, staring at his desk, waiting for the teacher to assign (指派) a partner to him. Just then, a voice came, “Hey, do you have a 3 yet?” Alex looked up. It was Jake, the school’s soccer star. “Um…no,” Alex said quietly. “Wanna work together?” Jake said with a smile. “I saw your picture of the solar system last week. It was amazing. I thought we could use your talent for the project poster.” Alex was speechless. Jake had noticed not only him but also his picture! Alex 4 . At first, Alex still felt nervous 5 Jake was friendly. Then things grew better. Jake researched while Alex brought their findings to life with amazing 6 . They worked well together. For the first time, Alex felt “ 7 ”. He wasn’t just the “invisible boy”; he was Alex, a person with ideas and talents that someone 8 . The day they presented their project, the whole class clapped for their “excellent cooperation and imagination.” And someone from Jake’s soccer team cheered, “Well done, Alex!” He said his 9 clearly. After that, Jake would say hello to Alex in the hallway and sometimes invite him to sit with his group at lunch. 10 , Alex started to come out of his shell. He dared to speak up in class. He even joined an art club. Looking back, Alex knew his life had changed because of one person’s simple act of kindness. Jake didn’t have to partner with him, but he did. He promised himself that he would be a person like Jake to see the invisible person. 1．A．attention B．praise C．support D．silence 2．A．nervous B．angry C．relaxed D．bored 3．A．partner B．speaker C．listener D．competitor 4．A．nodded B．refused C．shouted D．cried 5．A．because B．so C．although D．if 6．A．books B．reports C．speeches D．pictures 7．A．forgotten B．seen C．hated D．tricked 8．A．mentioned B．protected C．doubted D．valued 9．A．idea B．plan C．name D．address 10．A．Suddenly B．Luckily C．Slowly D．Exactly 【答案】 1．D 2．A 3．A 4．A 5．C 6．D 7．B 8．D 9．C 10．C 【导语】本文讲述“隐形男孩”Alex因Jake主动邀请他合作完成科学项目而逐渐走出自我封闭、重拾自信的故事。 1．句意：他已经习惯了身边的沉默，以至于他相信自己注定要独自一人。 根据上文“Alex was an ‘invisible（隐形的）boy’ at school. His voice was seldom heard in class”，Alex是“隐形男孩”，课堂上很少被听到声音，说明他身边是“沉默的”，silence“沉默”符合语境。attention“关注”、praise“赞扬”和support“支持”均与“隐形男孩”的处境不符。 2．句意：Alex立刻感到紧张。 根据上文“The science teacher announced an important partner project”及下文“He sat there silently, staring at his desk”，没有伙伴的Alex面对需要搭档的项目感到“紧张的”，nervous符合题意。angry“生气的”、relaxed“放松的”和bored“无聊的”均与语境不符。 3．句意：就在那时，一个声音传来：“嘿，你有搭档了吗？” 根据下文“Wanna work together?”，Jake想和Alex一起合作，说明是问他有没有“搭档”，partner符合题意。speaker“演讲者”、listener“倾听者”和competitor“竞争者”均不符。 4．句意：Alex点头答应了。 根据上文“Wanna work together?”及“Alex was speechless”，Jake邀请Alex合作，Alex说不出话来，应是点头“答应”，nodded符合题意。refused“拒绝”与Alex内心的惊喜不符，shouted“大喊”和cried“大哭”均与speechless矛盾。 5．句意：起初，尽管Jake很友好，Alex仍然感到紧张。 根据上文“Alex still felt nervous”及“Jake was friendly”，前后为让步转折关系；although“尽管”符合。because“因为”表原因，so“所以”表结果，if“如果”表条件，均不符。 6．句意：Jake做研究，而Alex用令人惊叹的图画把他们的发现变得生动起来。 根据下文“he was Alex, a person with ideas and talents”及结尾“someone from Jake’s soccer team cheered”，再结合上文“I saw your picture of the solar system”，Alex擅长画画，pictures“图画”符合题意。books“书”、reports“报告”和speeches“演讲”均不符。 7．句意：Alex第一次感到“被看见”。 根据下文“He wasn’t just the ‘invisible boy’”，他不再只是“隐形男孩”，说明他第一次感到“被看见”，seen符合题意。forgotten“被遗忘”、hated“被讨厌”和tricked“被欺骗”均与语境相反。 8．句意：他是Alex，一个拥有想法和才能、被人珍视的人。 根据上文“He was Alex, a person with ideas and talents”，Jake欣赏并珍视Alex的才能，valued“珍视”符合题意。mentioned“提到”、protected“保护”和doubted“怀疑”均不符。 9．句意：他清楚地说出了他的名字。 根据上文“’Well done, Alex!’”，队友喊出了Alex的名字，说明Alex“名字”被清楚地说出，name符合题意。idea“想法”、plan“计划”和address“地址”均不符。 10．句意：慢慢地，Alex开始走出自己的外壳。 根据下文“He dared to speak up in class. He even joined an art club”，Alex的变化是逐渐发生的，slowly“慢慢地”符合语境。Suddenly“突然地”变化过快，Luckily“幸运地”和Exactly“确切地”均不符。 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从1~10各题所给的A、B、C 和D 项中选出最佳选项。 Whales might have their own fashion trends, just like people. Recently whale watchers and researchers saw something last 1 in the 1980s — whales balancing a dead salmon on their heads like hats. Last October, a photographer took a picture of a 33-year-old male whale called J27, also known as “Blackberry”, with a salmon on its head. Blackberry is part of a group called the Southern Resident Killer Whales, which live off the coast of the Pacific Northwest. Researcher Deborah Giles 2 saw another whale from the same group doing the same thing. This 3 some scientists of 1987, when a female whale wore a salmon on her head. Other whales in her group and nearby groups 4 her, making it a short-lived fashion. Within a year, the behavior disappeared. Andrew Foote, a researcher at the University of Oslo, suggested that some whales which saw this behaviour in 1987 may be 5 . However, not all scientists 6 . Monika Wieland from the Whale Behavior Institute said that one 7 is not enough to prove this is a real fashion again. Why do whales carry salmon on their heads? Scientists still don’t know. One idea is that when food is easy to find, whales keep a(n) 8   fish as a snack. Another thought is that the behavior could be a way to 9 attention  from a  mate (配偶) when they want a baby, or just a playful act. Modern technology, such as drones (无人机), may help researchers find out more by 10 whales and watching what they do with the fish. 1．A．discussed B．guessed C．imagined D．recorded 2．A．earlier B．next C．later D．never 3．A．required B．reminded C．told D．warned 4．A．copied B．caught C．repeated D．taught 5．A．giving it up B．taking it away C．bringing it back D．leaving it behind 6．A．agree B．disagree C．doubt D．reply 7．A．photo B．report C．model D．video 8．A．dead B．spare C．fresh D．large 9．A．displace B．consider C．refuse D．attract 10．A．catching B．following C．protecting D．welcoming 【答案】 1．D 2．C 3．B 4．A 5．C 6．A 7．A 8．B 9．D 10．B 【导语】本文主要讲述了鲸鱼可能也有自己的时尚潮流。近期研究人员发现鲸鱼头顶死鲑鱼的行为，这让人回想起1987年曾出现过的类似短暂时尚，科学家们对此提出了几种猜测。 1．句意：最近，观鲸者和研究人员看到了上世纪80年代最后一次被记录下来的事情——鲸鱼把死鲑鱼顶在头上像戴帽子一样 根据第四段“some scientists of 1987, when a female whale wore a salmon on her head”可知，这种行为在1980年代曾被记录过。recorded意为“被记录”符合逻辑。 2．句意：研究员Deborah Giles后来也看到同一群体的另一只鲸鱼在做同样的事情。 根据前文去年10月摄影师拍到一只鲸鱼头顶鲑鱼，接着提到研究员Deborah Giles“后来”也看到了另一只鲸鱼做同样的事。later意为“后来”符合时间上的先后顺序。 3．句意：这让一些科学家想起了1987年，当时一只雌性鲸鱼头上顶着一条鲑鱼。 根据“some scientists of 1987”可知，现在的行为让科学家们回想起了1987年的事情，固定搭配：remind sb. of...意为“使某人回想起……”。 4．句意：她所在群体和附近群体的其他鲸鱼模仿了她，使之成为一种短暂的时尚。 根据后文“making it a short-lived fashion”可知，其他鲸鱼模仿了她的行为，才形成了一种时尚。copied意为“复制，模仿”，导致了时尚的产生，其他选项不符合逻辑。 5．句意：奥斯陆大学的研究员Andrew Foote提出，一些在1987年看到过这种行为的鲸鱼可能正在把它重新带回来。 根据前文这种行为在1987年出现过后来消失了，现在又出现了，所以选择bringing it back，意为“把它带回来”符合“重新流行”之意。giving it up意为“放弃它”；taking it away意为“带走它”；leaving it behind意为“把它抛在后面”，均不符合逻辑。 6．句意：然而，并非所有科学家都同意。 根据后文Monika认为一张照片不足以证明这再次成为真正的时尚，说明她不同意前文Andrew Foote的观点，选择agree“同意”。not all... agree表示“并非所有人都同意”，其他选项不符合前后文逻辑。 7．句意：鲸鱼行为研究所的Monika Wieland说，仅凭一张照片不足以证明这再次成为真正的时尚。 根据第二段“Last October, a photographer took a picture of a 33-year-old male whale...”可知，这里指的是摄影师拍的那张照片。photo意为“照片”与前文呼应。 8．句意：一种观点是，当食物容易找到时，鲸鱼会留一条备用的鱼作为零食。 根据“when food is easy to find”和“as a snack”可知，食物充足时，留一条“备用的”鱼当零食。spare意为”备用的“符合食物充足时的储备行为。 9．句意：另一种想法是，这种行为可能是一种在它们想要宝宝时吸引配偶注意的方式，或者仅仅是一种好玩的行为。 根据“attention from a mate”可知，这里指吸引配偶的注意力，固定搭配：attract attention意为“吸引注意力”。 10．句意：现代技术，如无人机，可能通过追踪鲸鱼并观察它们如何处理这些鱼，来帮助研究人员发现更多信息。 根据“Modern technology, such as drones”和“watching what they do”可知，无人机的作用是“追踪”鲸鱼以观察它们的行为。following意为“跟随，追踪”符合无人机的功能。 In the picture, a girl is standing on a bamboo pole (竹竿) on the river and dancing beautifully. It’s not a scene from a movie, 1 a form of intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) — bamboo drifting. Yang Liu is an inheritor (传承人) of bamboo drifting. She 2 to learn it from her grandmother when she was 7. As she was weak in health as a child, her grandmother wanted her to become strong through this sport. Yang threw herself into 3 bamboo drifting all year round, even in the winter cold and summer heat. “It was common for me to fall into the water when I started practicing,” recalled Yang, adding that it took her three years to learn the basic 4 of bamboo drifting. In order to learn more bamboo drifting skills, Yang had to practice countless 5 movements on a bamboo pole that was 9 m in length and 15 cm in diameter, and stand all the physical 6 that came with it. Through years of hard training, Yang now considers the bamboo pole as her “best friend”. At one point, encouraged by her 7 , Yang began to put dance and bamboo drifting together. “My grandmother came up with an idea.

Before Mrs Rodan could answer, Mom spoke. “Bella was 7 when she didn’t see you outside, so we came to check on you.” “How 8 ,” Mrs Rodan said. “We’ve had a terrible week. I fell off a ladder and then Finn caught a cold. I don’t have any family in town, so I have been on my own.” “Bella and I could help you do some shopping, or take care of Finn,” Mom 9 . While Mom and Mrs Rodan were chatting, Bella played peekaboo with Finn. And Finn handed her his dinosaur.

But what exactly makes them keep going when others quit? ②The short answer is “grit”. But building grit is, in fact, very hard because we live in a world of instant (瞬间) results. So we often give up easily when progress is slow, telling ourselves we are not talented, or finding excuses for our laziness. It is self-protective, according to psychologist Angela Duckworth. “Most of us want to see quick success,” she says, “so when we don’t get it, it hurts our confidence.” ③Luckily, there is research to suggest that some methods can help us build grit. One of them is to celebrate small wins. Instead of waiting for the final success, we could praise every tiny step forward. Many studies show that noticing small progress allows us to stay inspired and less discouraged. ④The second method is to regard failure as data. This means treating failure as information rather than a verdict (评价) on our ability. This led to better levels of persistence in test groups—including both students and workers—that were asked to analyze (分析) what went wrong and change their plans. Researcher Carol Dweck found that the habit of seeing challenges as chances forces people to keep trying. ⑤The writer Samuel Beckett once said, “Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.” But it now seems we should be saying, “Try again, grow stronger.” Grit is not a gift—it is a skill we can train, and by learning to enjoy the process (过程), we may find the road to success is a little smoother. 1．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A．①/②③④/⑤ B．①/②③/④⑤ C．①/②/③④⑤ D．①②/③④⑤ 2．What does Angela Duckworth think of giving up easily when progress is slow? A．It’s a way to protect ourselves. B．It is bad for our confidence. C．It makes us feel worse. D．It might bring danger. 3．Which of the following would Carol Dweck probably agree with? A．It’s hard to build grit in daily life. B．Celebrating small wins helps people stay inspired. C．Treating failure as data can help people keep trying. D．Many people don’t understand themselves well. 4．How does the writer explain his ideas about grit in Paragraph 5? A．By giving a fact. B．By using some numbers.C．By telling a story.D．By using a writer’s words. 5．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．Useful advice from psychologists. B．How people develop grit. C．Smarter ways to achieve success. D．Why talent is important to success. 【答案】1．A 2．A 3．C 4．D 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要围绕毅力展开，先提出为何有人能坚持、有人中途放弃的问题，引出毅力这一核心概念并说明当下很难拥有毅力的原因，接着介绍两种培养毅力的方法，最后引用作家名言总结毅力是可后天训练的能力。 1．篇章结构题。第一段提出问题，引出成功人士坚持不放弃的原因；第二至四段介绍毅力的含义以及培养毅力的方法；第五段总结全文并进一步说明毅力可以通过训练获得。因此文章结构为“①/②③④/⑤”。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段第四句“It is self-protective, according to psychologist Angela Duckworth.”可知，心理学家Angela Duckworth认为，当进步缓慢时，人们轻易放弃是一种自我保护。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段“This led to better levels of persistence in test groups—including both students and workers—that were asked to analyze what went wrong and change their plans. Researcher Carol Dweck found that the habit of seeing challenges as chances forces people to keep trying.”可知，Carol Dweck认为把挑战看作机会的习惯能促使人们不断尝试。 4．推理判断题。根据第五段开头“The writer Samuel Beckett once said, ‘Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.’”可知，作者在第五段通过引用作家Samuel Beckett的话来解释自己关于毅力的观点。 5．主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知，文章围绕“grit（毅力）”展开，介绍了毅力的重要性以及如何通过庆祝小胜利、正确看待失败等方法培养毅力。因此文章主要讲述了人们如何培养毅力。 Young people in China are showing off their style with fun bag charms (包挂). These small decorations hang from backpacks and swing as people walk. They help young people show who they are and create a new way of emotional connection. There are all kinds of these bag charms. Some are soft, plush toys, while others get ideas from traditional Chinese culture or museum pieces. For example, Xi’an Momo Dolls and Sanxingdui’s Bronze Mask series reimagine traditional elements (元素) into new forms. These “China-chic” designs turn bag charms into cultural bridges between the past and present. These charms offer more than just a decorative touch; they play a key role in breaking the ice among strangers. A shared charm can help people connect with just a smile. As the Chinese New Year came near, Vicky, who lives in Nanjing, bought clothes not just for her family, but for her charms. “I match charms to my mood and clothes,” she explains. “Sometimes they feel like emotional codes — shared understanding brings quick connections at once.” The charms have become popular because of the new and better ways of making them in places like Guangdong. Dongguan, known as the “designer toy capital”, has thousands of factories using smart technology to create new designs quickly. Today, these charms are reshaping the international image of “Made in China” by telling stories based on local creativity. These small items are building emotional ties with customers around the world and showing special Eastern beauty. A Grade-10 student from Nanjing shared her thoughts. “Every time I see the same charm on a stranger’s backpack, it feels like discovering a tiny bridge linking two unknown hearts.” Dr Zhang, a teacher from Guangdong University of Finance & Economics, also put forward his view: “If fashionable small goods rush into teenagers’ daily life endlessly, will the nice glow of such lovely accessories (配饰) finally change into meaningless desire?” 1．What can we learn about Sanxingdui Bronze Mask bag charms? A．They are real ancient museum works. B．They mainly spread culture inside museums. C．They are expensive gifts for museum visitors. D．They carry ancient cultural elements in new forms. 2．What does the writer want to tell us by saying “Sometimes they feel like emotional codes”? A．Bag charms hold hidden symbols. B．Teens leave messages on their charms. C．People buy clothes just for charms. D．The same charm can quickly connect people. 3．What helps charms gain worldwide popularity? A．Popular Chinese New Year shopping. B．New technology and local creativity. C．Ancient museum collections’ long history. D．Varieties of soft and lovely plush toys. 4．What is Dr Zhang’s opinion towards bag charms? A．Positive. B．Supportive. C．Worried. D．Curious. 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是说明文，介绍了在中国年轻人中流行的包挂饰品，讲述了包挂的国潮设计特点、社交情感作用、流行的产业支撑原因，同时呈现了不同群体对包挂现象的看法。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第2段“For example, Xi’an Momo Dolls and Sanxingdui’s Bronze Mask series reimagine traditional elements into new forms.”可知，三星堆青铜面具系列包挂以新的形式承载了古代文化元素。 2．词句猜测题。根据文章第3段“Sometimes they feel like emotional codes — shared understanding brings quick connections at once.”可知，包挂被比作“情感密码”，是因为相同的包挂承载着共同的喜好，能让人们快速建立联系。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第4段“The charms have become popular because of the new and better ways of making them in places like Guangdong. Dongguan, known as the ‘designer toy capital’, has thousands of factories using smart technology to create new designs quickly. Today, these charms are reshaping the international image of ‘Made in China’ by telling stories based on local creativity.”可知，新的智能制造技术和本土创意助力包挂在全球受到欢迎。 4．观点态度题。根据文章第5段“If fashionable small goods rush into teenagers’ daily life endlessly, will the nice glow of such lovely accessories finally change into meaningless desire?”可知，张博士担忧这类时尚小物无节制地涌入青少年生活后，其美好价值最终会演变成无意义的欲望，可见他对这类配饰的过度流行持担忧态度。 Scene One (The Horse Problem) Sarai: (tapping Amadore) Easy, boy. Dad says if I can’t put this halter (笼头) on you tomorrow, you must go back to the old farm. I want you to stay with me. Cody: (standing at the door) I know what your problem is. Sarai: (looking back) Who are you? I’m busy. Cody: I’m Cody. We just moved here. I know your problem. Sarai: (unhappy) You don’t know me or my horse. I have ridden horses for twelve years. I know what to do. (Sarai takes a snack and holds it out. Amadore smells it but won’t come near.) Scene Two (Another Bad Try) (Next morning, Sarai tries to feed Amadore. But Amadore makes a loud sound and runs to the corner.) Sarai: OK... I need help.(Sarai finds Cody brushing his horse Monty.) Cody: (smiling) Come in! This is Monty. How is Amadore? Sarai: (nervous) I need your help. You said you knew my problem. Cody: It’s... your face. Sarai: (angry, clenching her fists) What? That’s not nice! Cody: Wait! You often look angry when you come near Amadore. You think too hard about the halter. You do not see your own face. Sarai: (doubting) Can horses really see our faces? That sounds funny. Scene Three (The Small Test) (Cody takes two photos: one big smile, one angry face. They print out the pictures. Cody shows the smiling photo to Monty. Monty stays calm. Then he shows the angry one. Monty feels afraid and steps back.) Sarai: (surprised) Oh! The angry face scares him. I get it now. Cody: Horses watch our faces. You need a happy face. Sarai: (taking a deep breath)-This is my last chance. Let’s go. Scene Four (Good News) Sarai: (walking in with the halter, smiling softly) We can do this, Amadore. (Amadore walks to her.

You often look angry...do not see your own face.”，可知，Sarai靠近Amadore时总带着生气的表情，会吓到马，这是她一开始没法给马套上笼头的原因。 3．细节理解题。Scene Three部分提到“Cody takes two photos: one big...feels afraid and steps back.”，可知，Cody通过给马Monty展示两张不同表情的人脸照片，观察马的不同反应来证明自己的观点。 4．推理判断题。结合全文情节，Sarai起初不愿接受Cody的帮助，自认能独立解决给马套笼头的问题，在尝试失败后主动向Cody求助，最终成功解决了难题，由此可知，真正的智慧包含懂得何时寻求帮助。 In a small apartment building in New York, two young painters, Johnsy and Sue, lived and worked together. In a cold winter, a serious disease spread in the neighborhood. Unluckily, Johnsy caught the illness. She lay in bed all day, weak and hopeless. Instead of receiving treatment actively, Johnsy made a strange decision. She watched an old ivy vine (常春藤) outside her window. There were only a few leaves left on the vine after the cold wind. She told Sue that she would die when the last leaf fell. Sue was worried about her friend. She tried her best to cheer Johnsy up and asked the doctor for help. But Johnsy refused to listen. Her health got worse day by day, and she kept staring at the ivy vine, waiting for the last leaf to drop. An old painter called Behrman lived on the ground floor. He was over sixty years old. He had never finished a great painting in his life, though he always talked about creating a masterpiece. When Behrman knew Johnsy’s strange idea, he felt sorry for the poor girl. A terrible storm came on a cold rainy night. The wind and rain beat heavily against the windows. Everyone thought the last ivy leaf would surely fall. However, when Johnsy woke up the next morning, she was surprised to find the last leaf was still firmly on the vine. It stayed there bravely, fighting against the storm. Day after day, the leaf never fell. Johnsy slowly regained hope and courage. She realized how silly she had been and started to cooperate with the doctor. Finally, she got well completely. And that afternoon Sue came and said, “Mr. Behrman died of the serious cold today in the hospital. He was ill only two days. People found him in his room, helpless with pain. His shoes and clothing were wet through and icy cold. They couldn’t imagine where he had been on such a terrible night. And then they found a lantern, a ladder, some brushes and-look out the window, dear, at the last ivy leaf on the wall. Didn’t you wonder why it never fell when the wind blew? Ah, darling, it’s Behrman’s masterpiece-he painted it there the night that the last leaf fell.” Adapted from O. Henry’s short story The Last Leaf 1．Why did Johnsy want to give up her life?

It stayed there bravely, fighting against the storm.”表明，经历猛烈的暴风雨后，叶子依然留在藤上，firmly表示“牢固地；紧紧地”，与“tightly”词义相近。 3．推理判断题。第7段中的句子“Ah, darling, it’s Behrman’s masterpiece-he painted it there the night that the last leaf fell.”表明，Behrman为Johnsy画的这片常春藤叶是他的杰作，也就是他最伟大的作品。 4．主旨大意题。文章围绕Behrman为挽救Johnsy的生命，冒着风雨绘制常春藤叶并因此付出生命的故事展开，这片承载着善意与牺牲的叶子是真正的杰作，体现了善良与自我牺牲能创造真正的美的核心主题。 If you have ever had to struggle through a lesson after spending half the night on homework, fighting to keep your eyes open, you are not alone. A recent survey of teenagers shows that over 60% get less than eight hours’ sleep on school nights, and nearly 15% sleep fewer than six hours. What makes sleep so important is that, while you are asleep, your brain is still quietly at work: it sorts through what you have learned during the day and stores it in lasting memory. In one study, students with eight hours’ sleep did much better in a memory test than those who stayed up all night to review. Getting enough sleep also helps you stay focused in class, think faster and keep a good mood. Students who sleep poorly often feel tired or angry more easily, and some even fall asleep at their desks. If heavy schoolwork is one reason so many teenagers go to bed late, the habits formed around bedtime are very often another. It has become common to lie in bed with a phone, moving from one short video to the next message long after the lights are off. The blue light from screens tells the brain that it is still daytime, so it is harder to fall asleep. Tea, coffee and cola, drunk late in the day, can leave the mind too awake to rest even around midnight. The encouraging part is that a few small changes are often enough. Doctors have some simple advice. Try to go to bed and get up at about the same time every day, even on weekends. Keep your phone out of the bedroom, or do something relaxing before sleep, such as reading a paper book. When homework truly cannot be completed, an honest talk with the teacher is wiser than staying up late to get it done. A brain that has rested well simply learns faster; sleep, looked at in the right way, is not time lost but time quietly put to work. 1．What percentage of students in the survey get less than six hours’ sleep? A．15 %. B．About 60 %. C．Over 80 %. D．Nearly 100 %. 2．What does the brain do while we are sleeping? A．It rests completely at night. B．It organizes learning into memory. C．It gives off special blue light. D．It keeps the tired mind wide awake. 3．A student who stays up late going over a lesson again and again may _______. A．remember it for a longer time B．develop a stronger memory slowly C．remember less than a rested student D．become more focused in the morning 4．What is the best title for the passage? A．Why does Sleep Matter So Much? B．Why do Teenagers Stay Up So Late? C．How can Students Change Bad Habits? D．What does The Study’s Memory Test Show? 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了青少年睡眠不足的调查现状，阐述了睡眠对大脑记忆及健康的重要性，分析了晚睡的原因并给出了改善建议。 1．细节理解题。第1段中的句子“...nearly 15% sleep fewer than six hours”表明睡眠少于六小时的学生比例接近 15%。 2．细节理解题。第2段中的句子“...it sorts through what you have learned during the day and stores it in lasting memory“”表明大脑在睡眠中整理所学内容并存入长期记忆。 3．推理判断题。第2段中的句子“...students with eight hours’ sleep did much better in a memory test than those who stayed up all night to review“”表明熬夜复习的学生记忆效果不如睡眠充足的学生。 4．最佳标题题。第2段中的句子“What makes sleep so important is that...”及全文内容表明文章核心在于阐述睡眠的重要性及其对学习和健康的影响。 Last week, Year Nine students took part in the school’s first Career Exploration Week, a five-day programme to help them understand how their personality might connect to future jobs. The week began with a personality assessment (评估) taken by all 240 students. The results, studied by a team of career teachers, sorted students into six personality types: realistic, investigative (研究型的), artistic, social, enterprising (企业型的), and conventional (常规型的). “Many students had never thought about why some activities felt easy while others felt tiring,” said Ms. Tang, the school’s career teacher. “This test gave them a way to talk about those differences.” On Tuesday and Wednesday, people from twelve different jobs—including engineering, nursing, art design, computer programming, teaching, and accounting (会计)—visited the school to share their experiences. Students went to three forty-minute classes of their choice, where they could ask questions and try small tasks themselves. A computer engineer showed students how to build a simple app; a nurse showed how to take a patient’s blood pressure; an accountant showed how a company’s money is planned and recorded. The best part of the week was Thursday’s “Job Shadow” afternoon, when 180 students spent three hours at real workplaces around the city. Li Na, who said she was “quiet and careful with details,” shadowed a forensic (司法的) accountant and came back deeply interested. “I never imagined accounting could be like solving puzzles,” she said. “I always thought it was just about filling in forms.” Another student, Zhang Wei, had always thought he would become a doctor like his father. But after shadowing a paediatrician (儿科医生) for a day, he found that the job’s emotional demands left him feeling tired rather than happy. “I’m a quiet person,” he explained. “I need quiet time to get my energy back. I still want to help people, but maybe medical research would suit me better than seeing patients all day.” Friday ended with a reflection session. Students wrote short articles about what they had learned and how it might change their subject choices for senior high school. In a survey after the week, 87% of students said it helped them understand themselves better, and 72% said they were now considering jobs they had not known about before. The school plans to hold Career Exploration Week every year and is building an online library so students can keep exploring all year. “Personality is not fate,”Ms. Tang said at the end.“But knowing who you are—what makes you feel excited, what makes you feel tired, what makes you lose track of time—is the first step to making choices that truly fit you.” 1．What is the main purpose of Career Exploration Week? A．To help students choose their future careers immediately. B．To connect students’ personality traits to possible careers. C．To train students for specific jobs in twelve fields. D．To test whether students have the right personality for work. 2．What can be learned about the personality assessment? A．It helped students understand why tasks feel differently easy or hard. B．It divided students into twelve different career fields. C．It was designed and carried out by the students themselves. D．It showed that most students shared the same personality type. 3．Why does the author mention Li Na’s experience? A．To show that accounting is a better career than medicine. B．To prove that quiet students should all become accountants. C．To explain how forensic accounting differs from nursing. D．To illustrate (说明) how the Job Shadow changed a student’s view. 4．What did Zhang Wei discover about himself through the Job Shadow? A．He no longer wanted to help other people at all. B．Medical research was much easier than clinical medicine. C．The emotional demands of seeing patients left him tired. D．His father had been completely wrong about a career in medicine. 5．What does Ms. Tang mean by saying “Personality is not fate”? A．One’s personality does not fully decide what they can do. B．Personality tests are unreliable and should be ignored entirely. C．Students should choose careers regardless of their personality. D．Only extroverts can achieve real and lasting career success. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．C 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了某中学九年级学生参加“职业探索周”活动的经历，包括性格评估、职业人士分享、岗位体验等环节，旨在帮助学生了解性格与未来职业的关联，并记录了学生的收获与反思。 1．根据第一段“...help them understand how their personality might connect to future jobs.”可推知，该活动的主要目的是帮助学生将性格特征与可能的职业联系起来，而不是立即选择职业或进行特定工作训练。 2．根据第二段“Many students had never thought about why some activities felt easy while others felt tiring... This test gave them a way to talk about those differences.”可推知，性格评估帮助学生理解了为何某些任务感觉容易而另一些感觉困难。 3．根据第四段“Li Na... shadowed a forensic accountant and came back deeply interested. ‘I never imagined accounting could be like solving puzzles,’ she said.”可推知，作者提及李娜的经历是为了说明岗位体验活动如何改变了学生对特定职业的看法。 4．根据第五段“...he found that the job’s emotional demands left him feeling tired rather than happy.”可推知，张伟通过岗位体验发现，见病人所需的情感投入让他感到疲惫，从而重新思考职业方向。 5．根据最后一段“Personality is not fate... But knowing who you are ... is the first step to making choices that truly fit you.”可推知，唐老师这句话意味着性格并不完全决定一个人能做什么，但了解自己是做出合适选择的第一步。 When I was a little boy, I once watched Uncle Henry laugh at a falling leaf for a long time. I pulled my mother’s hand and asked, “Why is Uncle Henry so different?” She sat down beside me and said softly that he had a mental problem. His mind worked like a special clock—not broken, just different. Years later, Uncle Henry still calls me about eight times every day. The phone rings at breakfast, during homework, and even when I wash my face. I love him, but I only answer two or three of those calls. Our talks always follow a fun pattern. He makes up three imaginary worlds for us. In one, he is my father. In another, he is an army officer giving me orders. In the third, we are both doctors trying to save a sick person. When the phone rings, I take a breath and say, “Hello?” as if I don’t know him. A happy voice comes back, “It’s your dad, Henry!” or “Officer speaking — do you hear me?” or “Doctor Henry here! The patient needs help!” We act out our roles for a minute, stopping only when we both burst into laughter. Then, in his soft voice, he always says the same words at the end of the calls. Whenever I hear those words, a warm feeling fills my heart. “So are you,” I always answer. “The two of us!” This has gone on for years. No matter what happens—sad school reports, angry fights with friends, or lonely rainy days—the calls always come. They chase away my worries and leave me feeling peaceful. Uncle Henry cannot truly understand my growing pains, but he always provides me with steady care. When I run into trouble, I know he is there, like a doctor on call, to heal my heart.

Born in 1897, Amelia was just like a “tomboy” in her childhood, collecting insects, hunting rats and climbing trees along the Missouri River. Then she moved around the middle west with her parents. There after seeing the wounded soldiers of World War I, she worked as a nurse’s aid and began to admire the wounded pilots. At 23, a ten-minute plane ride at an air show sparked (点燃) her lifelong love for flying. She recalled, “By the time I got two or three hundred feet off the ground, I knew I had to fly.” The road to success was always difficult. But she worked hard for her flying dream. In 1923, Amelia became the 16th woman in the world to receive a pilot’s license. Since then, Amelia’s life has always been closely connected with flight. She wrote and gave speeches about the time when flying would not be just for a few but would become an accepted part of everyday life. Besides, she also broke down barriers(障碍) for women, being the first woman to fly alone across the Atlantic. In 1937, Amelia tried the first around-the-world flight at the equator, but while flying over a small island in the Pacific, Amelia and her partner, Frederick Noonan, disappeared. At the last moment of her life, Amelia could send messages over the radio, but she couldn’t receive any. Her last words were “Circling…cannot see island…cannot hear you...please answer...” Finally, “Gas low...” and then, silence. Though Amelia died, she remains a legend (传奇), showing that women don’t have to live with limits and everyone has oceans to fly dreams. 1．Amelia was described as a “tomboy” in her childhood because she ________. A．liked playing indoors B．enjoyed challenging outdoor activities C．achieved a great deal D．dreamed of becoming a pilot 2．Amelia’s last words over the radio showed ________.

According to the United Nations, over 8 million tons of plastic waste enters the world’s oceans every year. There’s plastic litter on the highest mountains and in the deepest parts of the sea. Now plastic has been found in another unexpected place: in the nests of wild birds. According to a study published in the journal Environmental Pollution, many bird species are using small pieces of plastic litter as building materials for their nests. Marta García is a biologist at the University of Barcelona, in Spain. She’s the study’s lead author. “For me, a bird nest made of plastic could be a symbol of our times,” she said. “They can’t find enough natural materials, so they use rubbish.” García says the age we’re in now is the period in which human activity has had a huge influence on the natural environment. Birds using plastic waste in their nests is one clear example of that influence. New nest materials Wild birds build nests to protect their eggs and baby birds. Normally, they use natural materials like grass, twigs, leaves and feathers to build soft and strong nests. But according to García’s study, of the 80 common bird species studied across Europe, 45 have been seen using plastic rubbish in their nests. Nearly three out of every four of those nests contained plastic waste, such as plastic bags, bottle caps, and plastic ropes. The others contained paper or cloth waste, such as old candy wrappers or cloth strips. García said that she and her team first learned about birds using plastic in nests when they noticed photos shared by bird watchers online. They decided to learn more by doing a wider study. For their research, the scientists collected photos of bird nests from research papers, nature websites, and bird lover communities. They found examples from 23 countries across Europe. Some had been taken by scientists. Some had been taken by nature photographers. Many had been taken by common bird watchers who were just interested. What does it mean? Scientists aren’t sure why birds are choosing litter instead of natural materials. But they have theories. Some areas are losing natural plant materials as cities expand. Birds could be turning to litter because they can’t find enough grass or twigs. It’s also possible that birds are selecting plastic because it’s light and easy to carry. Or they’re attracted by its bright colors. Scientists agree that plastic pollution harms wildlife in many ways. But it isn’t clear that the plastic in nests is directly hurting the birds. “It’s really a surprising example of the power of adaptation,” García said. “What are the long-term consequences of these adaptations? We don’t know yet.” 1．What does García mean by saying “a bird nest made of plastic could be a symbol of our times”? A．Birds prefer light and bright plastic materials for nests. B．All birds are now forced to build nests with plastic waste. C．Plastic nests help birds protect their eggs better from enemies. D．Human activities have caused great changes to the natural environment. 2．How did García and her team do their research on birds’ plastic nests? A．By collecting and studying photos of nests from different sources. B．By taking lots of photos of birds in controlled environments. C．By watching birds build nests closely in their natural habitats. D．By interviewing local bird watchers about their findings. 3．What does the underlined word “expand” most probably mean? A．Shrinking. B．Growing larger. C．Disappearing. D．Moving. 4．What can we learn from García’s words in the last paragraph? A．She plans to stop birds from using plastic to build nests. B．She thinks birds should not change their nest-building habits. C．She is sure that plastic pollution is good for wild birds. D．She believes adaptation is amazing but its long-term results are unknown. 5．Which is the best title for the passage? A．Plastic Waste Is Harming All Wild Animals B．Wild Birds Are in Great Danger Now C．Wild Birds Are Using Trash to Build Their Nests D．Scientists Photograph Birds Living with Plastic Waste 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．D 5．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了生物学家玛尔塔·加西亚关于野生鸟类使用塑料垃圾筑巢的一项研究。文章阐述了人类活动对自然环境造成的深远影响、科研团队的研究方法、鸟类选择塑料筑巢的原因，并引导人们反思这种非自然适应行为可能带来的长期未知后果。 1．根据第三、四段中“…a bird nest made of plastic could be a symbol of our times…”以及“García says the age we're in now is the period in which human activity has had a huge influence on the natural environment.”可知，加西亚认为塑料鸟巢之所以能成为时代的象征，是因为人类活动已经对自然环境产生了巨大影响，鸟类使用塑料垃圾筑巢正是这种影响的典型体现。 2．根据第七段第三句“For their research, the scientists collected photos of bird nests from research papers, nature websites, and bird lover communities.”可知，加西亚和她的团队是通过收集和研究来自科学论文、自然网站以及观鸟爱好者社区等不同渠道的鸟巢照片来进行调查的。 3．根据第八段中“Some areas are losing natural plant materials as cities expand. Birds could be turning to litter because they can’t find enough grass or twigs.”的上下文线索可知，随着城市的“expand”，一些地区正在失去天然植物材料，鸟类因为找不到足够的草或树枝而开始使用垃圾。由此可推断出，城市的“expand”会导致自然绿地缩减，即表示城市正在“扩大/扩张”，其含义与B选项中的“Growing larger”最为接近。 4．根据最后一段中的“‘It’s really a surprising example of the power of adaptation,’ García said. ‘What are the long-term consequences of these adaptations? We don’t know yet.’”可知，加西亚认为鸟类利用塑料筑巢展现了令人惊叹的适应能力，但这种适应改变会带来什么长期后果，目前人们还不得而知。 5．纵观全文，文章首段即指出在野生鸟类巢穴中发现了塑料垃圾，后续段落围绕这一现象的具体科学调查结果、鸟类使用塑料筑巢的原因（由于城市扩张、缺乏天然材料、塑料较轻等）以及这种适应性行为的深远影响展开论述。整篇文章主要介绍野生鸟类正在使用垃圾筑巢的社会环境现象，高度概括了文章的中心思想，因此“Wild Birds Are Using Trash to Build Their Nests”最适合作为文章的标题。 Vertical farming is a new type of agricultural model that grows crops in vertically stacked layers, usually inside controlled indoor environments. With the rapid growth of the global population and the reduction of arable land, this technology is seen as an important solution to future food shortages. How does vertical farming work? The core of vertical farming is to simulate the natural growth environment of plants in a closed space. - Lighting System: Instead of sunlight, vertical farms use full-spectrum LED lights that can accurately adjust the light intensity, wavelength and illumination time according to different growth stages of crops, ensuring that plants get the most suitable light for photosynthesis. - Water Circulation System: Most vertical farms adopt hydroponic or aeroponic technology. Plants grow in nutrient solution or mist environment instead of soil. The water is recycled in the closed system, which can save more than 90% of water compared with traditional farming. - Environmental Control System: Sensors monitor temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide concentration and other indicators in real time, keeping the environment in the best state for plant growth around the clock. This makes vertical farming unaffected by seasons and bad weather. Vertical farming has many advantages. It can be built in cities, greatly shortening the distance from farm to table and reducing the carbon emissions caused by transportation. It also avoids the use of pesticides because the closed environment is not easy to breed pests, so the produced vegetables are safer and healthier. However, vertical farming also faces challenges. The high cost of equipment and electricity is the biggest obstacle to its large-scale promotion. At present, most vertical farms are only suitable for growing leafy vegetables with short growth cycles, and it is still difficult to cultivate staple foods such as rice and wheat. Despite the limitations, with the continuous progress of technology, vertical farming is gradually moving from the experimental stage to commercial application. It may become an important part of the urban food supply system in the near future. 1．Which of the following are the core systems of vertical farming? ① Lighting System  ② Water Circulation System  ③ Transportation System  ④ Environmental Control System A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④ D．②③④ 2．What is the biggest advantage of vertical farming in terms of water use? A．It uses nutrient solution instead of water completely. B．It recycles water and saves a large amount of water. C．It only needs water when planting staple foods. D．It consumes more water but produces more food. 3．What is the main challenge that stops vertical farming from being widely used? A．The crops grow too slowly. B．It can only grow in rural areas. C．The equipment and power costs are high. D．It produces food with worse taste. 4．Where is this passage most probably taken from? A．A science magazine.B．A travel guidebook. C．A history textbook. D．A fashion magazine. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文介绍了垂直农业这一新型农业模式，它通过在室内垂直堆叠层架中种植作物，利用照明、水循环和环境控制三大系统模拟植物生长环境，具有节水、不受季节影响、绿色安全等优势，同时也面临设备成本高、种植作物种类有限等挑战，未来有望成为城市粮食供应的重要部分。 1．根据原文第2-5段，垂直农业的核心系统包括：① Lighting System（照明系统）、② Water Circulation System（水循环系统）、④ Environmental Control System（环境控制系统），不包含③ Transportation System（运输系统）。 2． 根据原文“Water Circulation System”部分“The water is recycled in the closed system, which can save more than 90% of water compared with traditional farming.”可知，垂直农业用水的最大优势是水可循环利用，比传统农业节水超 90%。 3． 根据原文第7段“The high cost of equipment and electricity is the biggest obstacle to its large-scale promotion.”可知，设备和电力成本高昂是阻碍其大规模推广的主要挑战。 4．文章介绍了垂直农业这一新型农业技术的原理、优势与挑战，属于科技类科普内容，最可能出自科学杂志。 四、短文填空 Have you ever walked through the streets of Nanjing and felt the weight of history around you? Every old building, every stone, and every tree has a story to tell. These are the things that make Nanjing a u 1 city. However, as the city develops rapidly, many of these precious things are at r 2 . Old neighborhoods are being demolished to make way for modern buildings.

Recently, a special school project in the UK has been using adult mentors (导师) and soccer to help teenagers grow up in a safe and healthy world. Students can e 1 talk to these trusted adults or play soccer with them. This project is h 2 popular, and across the country, thousands of teenagers are joining this project. It is now widely r 3 as a successful way to support young people. One 14-year-old student said, “I have never been comfortable around other teenagers, feeling ‘unable to communicate’.” The project started in 2025. Its leaders believe teenagers need trusted adult role models to build the right kinds of values, instead of being influenced by harmful online opinions. At a time when wrong ideas about masculinity (男性气概) are spreading online, they hope to help students develop good values. The program does help teenagers p 4 better at school and at home. It has also g 5 improved their communication skills. For nearly two years, students have joined a weekly after-school class about emotional growth. The teachers talk about teenagers’ brain development and feelings with students aged 12 to 14. Teenage years are just a s 6 of life. These classes help teenagers who don’t always believe in themselves become more c 7 and learn to deal with their feelings. The class is held in a local secondary school. It helps students who have trouble with their schoolwork not only face the problem but also f 8 the situation. Its goal is to help them finish school with the skills and grades to make a good move into adulthood. The program “helped me open up... because I didn’t really like talking to people. I just kept all my emotions bottled up inside of me,” one student said. The program teaches an important lesson. R 9 that asking for help is not a sign of weakness. This project is a great e 10 for other schools. With the help of such projects, more teenagers can grow up healthily. 【答案】 1．either/ither 2．highly/ighly 3．recognized/ecognized 4．perform/erform 5．greatly/reatly 6．stage/tage 7．confident/onfident 8．fix/ix 9．Remember/emember 10．example/xample 【导语】本文介绍英国一个学校项目利用成人导师和足球帮助青少年健康成长，说明该项目在行为表现、沟通能力和情感成长等方面的积极作用，并鼓励其他学校借鉴。 1．句意：学生可以和这些可信赖的成年人交谈，或者和他们一起踢足球。该处需一个连词，与后面的“or”构成“either...or...”固定搭配，表示“要么……要么……”。结合首字母“e”，应填either。 2．句意：这个项目非常受欢迎，全国各地成千上万的青少年正在加入这个项目。该处需一个副词，修饰形容词“popular”，表示程度“非常、高度地”。结合首字母“h”，应填highly。 3．句意：它现在被广泛认为是一种支持年轻人的成功方式。该处需一个动词的过去分词，与“is”构成被动语态，意为“被认为、被认可”。结合首字母“r”，应填recognized。 4．句意：该项目确实帮助青少年在学校和家里表现更好。该处需一个动词原形，在“help sb. do sth.”结构中作宾语补足语，意为“表现”。结合首字母“p”，应填perform。 5．句意：它还极大地提高了他们的沟通能力。该处需一个副词，修饰动词“improved”，表示程度“大大地、极大地”。结合首字母“g”，应填greatly。 6．句意：青少年时期只是人生的一个阶段。该处需一个名词，作表语，意为“阶段”。结合首字母“s”，应填stage。 7．句意：这些课程帮助那些不总是相信自己变得更有自信，并学会处理自己的情绪。该处需一个形容词，作“become”的表语，意为“自信的”。结合首字母“c”，应填confident。 8．句意：它帮助那些学业有困难的学生不仅面对问题，而且解决问题。该处需一个动词原形，与“face”并列，意为“解决、修复”。结合首字母“f”，应填fix。 9．句意：记住，寻求帮助不是软弱的表现。该处需一个动词原形，位于句首构成祈使句，意为“记住”。结合首字母“R”，应填Remember。 10．句意：这个项目对其他学校来说是一个很好的例子。该处需一个名词，作表语，意为“例子、榜样”。结合首字母“e”，应填example。 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整。每空一词。 Learning is a lifelong journey that shapes both our knowledge and our good character. Here is the story of Jack, a middle school student like many of us. Jack used to be c 1 about his schoolwork and made the same mistakes week after week. His books often lay open on the desk, but his mind was far away from the lesson in front of him. One day he began to r 2 all the time he had wasted and felt sorry for the chances he had missed. He decided to change, so he began to study with a clear p 3 in mind and promised to follow through with his plan every single day. H 4 , changing old habits was never easy at the beginning. He s 5 to that plan even when he felt tired after a long day, and he would ask his teachers for help whenever he met a problem he could not solve alone. Little by little, the small steps began to add up, and his grades started to rise. His classmates also helped him along the way, and together they encouraged t 6 to keep trying instead of giving up. Slowly he learned to o 7 his fear of failure. With every new skill he mastered, he found real joy in making progress and became more confident than before.

How we think about these challenges is important—and that’s where “growth mindset” comes in. A growth mindset means believing our abilities can get better, rather than being unchangeable all the time. People with a growth mindset usually focus on the process, effort and improvement not the result. This is different from a “fixed mindset” where people think “I’m bad at math” or “I’ll never be good at speaking”. With a growth mindset, you say, “I’m not good at this yet — but I can learn”. Let’s take school life as an example. Suppose you get a low score on a science quiz. A fixed mindset makes you feel angry and hopeless: “I’m just not a science person”. But with a growth mindset, you look at your mistakes calmly. You ask the teacher for help, redo the wrong questions, study those topics more and even use the colour therapy. Next time, your score might be improved! It’s not about being perfect now — it’s about trying to get better step by step. Growing this mindset isn’t hard. Above all, use the word “yet” often. Instead of “I can’t do this”, say “I can’t do this yet”. Also, when you face a setback, stay calm and don’t let your feelings like anger or sadness control you. Remember that mistakes are part of learning. Moreover, celebrate small progress. Cheer for your small steps forward after working out a difficult math problem. Having a growth mindset helps us not just in school, but in life. It gives us courage to try new things when we fail. So let’s start thinking “I can grow” — and see how far we can go! As teenagers, we often face difficult moments. Our 1 about hard situations matter a lot—and that’s exactly when “growth mindset” plays a role. The meaning of a growth mindset A growth mindset means thinking our skills can develop instead of being fixed forever. With a growth mindset, people pay more attention to how hard they try and how much they 2 instead of only caring about the result itself. An 3 of a growth mindset People with a growth mindset may face the mistakes in a 4 way. Go to the teacher, redo the wrong questions, study more and even try the colour therapy if he or she gets low marks in science exams. The methods of having a growth mindset ●Use the word “yet” often. Say “I can’t do this yet” instead of “I can’t do this”. ●Stay calm and control your feelings when 5 a setback. ●Celebrate small progress, like 6 one hard math problem. 7.

Today, thanks to AI coding assistants like Codex, that number has dropped to 22%. What caused this dramatic change? Traditional coding education required students to memorize exact syntax—the specific rules of a programming language. A missing comma or a capital letter in the wrong place would cause the entire program to fail. Many students gave up after their first few errors. “I felt stupid,” said Li Ming, a 14-year-old from Guangzhou. “I would spend an hour looking for a typo. It wasn’t teaching me how to solve problems. It was just teaching me to be frustrated.” Codex changes this learning model entirely. Instead of typing code from memory, students describe what they want the program to do in everyday language. Codex then generates the code. The student’s job shifts from “getting the syntax right” to “checking if the code does what they intended.” This is a fundamental shift in the learning process. Educational psychologist Dr. Liu Wei explains: “When students use Codex, they spend less time on mechanical details and more time on logical thinking. They ask questions like ‘Why did the program do that?’ and ‘How could I make it better?’ These are exactly the higher-order thinking skills we want to develop.” However, not everyone is celebrating. Some educators worry that students will become dependent on AI and never learn to code on their own. Professor Zhang from Beijing University warns: “Codex is a tool, not a replacement for learning. Students still need to understand basic programming concepts. If they rely on Codex for everything, they will be lost when the AI makes a mistake or when they need to work without it.” The solution, many experts agree, is a balanced approach. Schools should teach traditional coding fundamentals alongside AI-assisted coding. Students should learn to read and understand code, even if they don’t write every line from scratch. They should also learn to debug—find and fix errors—because even AI-generated code can have problems. Several schools have already adopted this model. At Shanghai’s No. 2 Middle School, students spend 40% of their coding time working without AI assistance and 60% using Codex. Test results show that these students perform better on both AI-assisted and non-AI coding tests compared to students who use only one method. The message is clear: AI is not the enemy of learning. When used wisely, it can be the best teacher a student ever had. How AI Coding Assistants Are Changing Education The Problem Before AI Many students were 1 of coding because of strict syntax rules. A small mistake like a missing comma would make the 2 program fail. How Codex Helps Students describe their goals in 3 language, and Codex writes the code. The student’s job becomes checking the 4 instead of fixing syntax. Benefits Students focus more on 5 thinking and less on mechanical details. Concerns Some educators worry that students may become 6 on AI. The Balanced Approach Students should learn both traditional coding 7 and AI-assisted coding. They must also learn to 8 code, because AI-generated code is not always perfect. Your Opinion Do you think AI coding assistants like Codex should be allowed in schools? Why or why not?

Recently whale watchers and researchers saw something last 1 in the 1980s — whales balancing a dead salmon on their heads like hats. Last October, a photographer took a picture of a 33-year-old male whale called J27, also known as “Blackberry”, with a salmon on its head. Blackberry is part of a group called the Southern Resident Killer Whales, which live off the coast of the Pacific Northwest. Researcher Deborah Giles 2 saw another whale from the same group doing the same thing. This 3 some scientists of 1987, when a female whale wore a salmon on her head. Other whales in her group and nearby groups 4 her, making it a short-lived fashion. Within a year, the behavior disappeared. Andrew Foote, a researcher at the University of Oslo, suggested that some whales which saw this behaviour in 1987 may be 5 . However, not all scientists 6 . Monika Wieland from the Whale Behavior Institute said that one 7 is not enough to prove this is a real fashion again. Why do whales carry salmon on their heads? Scientists still don’t know. One idea is that when food is easy to find, whales keep a(n) 8   fish as a snack. Another thought is that the behavior could be a way to 9 attention  from a  mate (配偶) when they want a baby, or just a playful act. Modern technology, such as drones (无人机), may help researchers find out more by 10 whales and watching what they do with the fish. 1．A．discussed B．guessed C．imagined D．recorded 2．A．earlier B．next C．later D．never 3．A．required B．reminded C．told D．warned 4．A．copied B．caught C．repeated D．taught 5．A．giving it up B．taking it away C．bringing it back D．leaving it behind 6．A．agree B．disagree C．doubt D．reply 7．A．photo B．report C．model D．video 8．A．dead B．spare C．fresh D．large 9．A．displace B．consider C．refuse D．attract 10．A．catching B．following C．protecting D．welcoming In the picture, a girl is standing on a bamboo pole (竹竿) on the river and dancing beautifully. It’s not a scene from a movie, 1 a form of intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) — bamboo drifting. Yang Liu is an inheritor (传承人) of bamboo drifting. She 2 to learn it from her grandmother when she was 7. As she was weak in health as a child, her grandmother wanted her to become strong through this sport. Yang threw herself into 3 bamboo drifting all year round, even in the winter cold and summer heat. “It was common for me to fall into the water when I started practicing,” recalled Yang, adding that it took her three years to learn the basic 4 of bamboo drifting. In order to learn more bamboo drifting skills, Yang had to practice countless 5 movements on a bamboo pole that was 9 m in length and 15 cm in diameter, and stand all the physical 6 that came with it. Through years of hard training, Yang now considers the bamboo pole as her “best friend”. At one point, encouraged by her 7 , Yang began to put dance and bamboo drifting together. “My grandmother came up with an idea. She said that I had been practicing bamboo drifting since I was a child, so why not try to mix dance with the skill? It might be something 8 ,” the young woman explained. Yang’s hard work gradually paid off when she was able to 9 perform dancing with the traditional bamboo drifting skill. “I hope 10 more people can know about bamboo drifting and enjoy this form of art.” said Yang. 1．A．or B．and C．but D．so 2．A．afforded B．started C．advised D．required 3．A．practicing B．jumping C．realizing D．swimming 4．A．knowledge B．information C．subjects D．skills 5．A．easy B．difficult C．impossible D．interesting 6．A．sense B．health C．pain D．care 7．A．grandfather B．grandmother C．mother D．father 8．A．different B．hard C．silly D．strange 9．A．luckily B．sincerely C．hurriedly D．perfectly 10．A．why B．whether C．what D．that 阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，在每小题所给的四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 “Your mom’s not here yet, Bella,” the school bus driver said. “Do you want to wait for her?” Bella 1 herself to slow down and speak clearly, as her speech therapist had taught her. “I know the way, and I can walk by myself now,” Bella said. Every afternoon, Bella walked home from the bus stop. Soon Bella knew all her new 2 . She learned that the man who once gave her a rose was Mr Sharaf, and the little boy who was missing two front teeth was Ari … And she liked the Rodans best. Mrs Rodan liked to talk. Mr Rodan worked abroad. And their son, Finn, liked playing peekaboo. But one day Bella found Mrs Rodan and Finn weren’t outside. Maybe they went to the 3 . Finn likes picture books, she thought. But they didn’t come out the next few days. Something was wrong. Bella hurried home and called, “Mom, I haven’t seen the Rodans in the past few days. Can we go and check on them?” “They 4 have gone somewhere,” Mom said. “Or maybe they’ve been too busy to take a walk. I’m sure they’re fine.” “But they’re my friends.” Bella didn’t 5 . “Please?” “All right,” Mom said. They went to the Rodans’ house and rang the bell. “Bella, what a 6 !” Mrs Rodan shouted happily. There was a bandage (绷带) wrapped around her ankle. “Did you hurt your foot?” Bella asked. Before Mrs Rodan could answer, Mom spoke. “Bella was 7 when she didn’t see you outside, so we came to check on you.” “How 8 ,” Mrs Rodan said. “We’ve had a terrible week. I fell off a ladder and then Finn caught a cold. I don’t have any family in town, so I have been on my own.” “Bella and I could help you do some shopping, or take care of Finn,” Mom 9 . While Mom and Mrs Rodan were chatting, Bella played peekaboo with Finn. And Finn handed her his dinosaur. That made Bella feel good because Mrs Rodan once told her that the dinosaur was Finn’s favourite 10 . As they left, Mrs Rodan took Bella’s hand and said, “Thank you!

But what exactly makes them keep going when others quit? ②The short answer is “grit”. But building grit is, in fact, very hard because we live in a world of instant (瞬间) results. So we often give up easily when progress is slow, telling ourselves we are not talented, or finding excuses for our laziness. It is self-protective, according to psychologist Angela Duckworth. “Most of us want to see quick success,” she says, “so when we don’t get it, it hurts our confidence.” ③Luckily, there is research to suggest that some methods can help us build grit. One of them is to celebrate small wins. Instead of waiting for the final success, we could praise every tiny step forward. Many studies show that noticing small progress allows us to stay inspired and less discouraged. ④The second method is to regard failure as data. This means treating failure as information rather than a verdict (评价) on our ability. This led to better levels of persistence in test groups—including both students and workers—that were asked to analyze (分析) what went wrong and change their plans. Researcher Carol Dweck found that the habit of seeing challenges as chances forces people to keep trying. ⑤The writer Samuel Beckett once said, “Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.” But it now seems we should be saying, “Try again, grow stronger.” Grit is not a gift—it is a skill we can train, and by learning to enjoy the process (过程), we may find the road to success is a little smoother. 1．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A．①/②③④/⑤ B．①/②③/④⑤ C．①/②/③④⑤ D．①②/③④⑤ 2．What does Angela Duckworth think of giving up easily when progress is slow? A．It’s a way to protect ourselves. B．It is bad for our confidence. C．It makes us feel worse. D．It might bring danger. 3．Which of the following would Carol Dweck probably agree with? A．It’s hard to build grit in daily life. B．Celebrating small wins helps people stay inspired. C．Treating failure as data can help people keep trying. D．Many people don’t understand themselves well. 4．How does the writer explain his ideas about grit in Paragraph 5? A．By giving a fact. B．By using some numbers.C．By telling a story.D．By using a writer’s words. 5．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．Useful advice from psychologists. B．How people develop grit. C．Smarter ways to achieve success. D．Why talent is important to success. Young people in China are showing off their style with fun bag charms (包挂). These small decorations hang from backpacks and swing as people walk. They help young people show who they are and create a new way of emotional connection. There are all kinds of these bag charms. Some are soft, plush toys, while others get ideas from traditional Chinese culture or museum pieces. For example, Xi’an Momo Dolls and Sanxingdui’s Bronze Mask series reimagine traditional elements (元素) into new forms. These “China-chic” designs turn bag charms into cultural bridges between the past and present. These charms offer more than just a decorative touch; they play a key role in breaking the ice among strangers. A shared charm can help people connect with just a smile. As the Chinese New Year came near, Vicky, who lives in Nanjing, bought clothes not just for her family, but for her charms. “I match charms to my mood and clothes,” she explains. “Sometimes they feel like emotional codes — shared understanding brings quick connections at once.” The charms have become popular because of the new and better ways of making them in places like Guangdong. Dongguan, known as the “designer toy capital”, has thousands of factories using smart technology to create new designs quickly. Today, these charms are reshaping the international image of “Made in China” by telling stories based on local creativity. These small items are building emotional ties with customers around the world and showing special Eastern beauty. A Grade-10 student from Nanjing shared her thoughts. “Every time I see the same charm on a stranger’s backpack, it feels like discovering a tiny bridge linking two unknown hearts.” Dr Zhang, a teacher from Guangdong University of Finance & Economics, also put forward his view: “If fashionable small goods rush into teenagers’ daily life endlessly, will the nice glow of such lovely accessories (配饰) finally change into meaningless desire?” 1．What can we learn about Sanxingdui Bronze Mask bag charms? A．They are real ancient museum works. B．They mainly spread culture inside museums. C．They are expensive gifts for museum visitors. D．They carry ancient cultural elements in new forms. 2．What does the writer want to tell us by saying “Sometimes they feel like emotional codes”? A．Bag charms hold hidden symbols. B．Teens leave messages on their charms. C．People buy clothes just for charms. D．The same charm can quickly connect people. 3．What helps charms gain worldwide popularity? A．Popular Chinese New Year shopping. B．New technology and local creativity. C．Ancient museum collections’ long history. D．Varieties of soft and lovely plush toys. 4．What is Dr Zhang’s opinion towards bag charms? A．Positive. B．Supportive. C．Worried. D．Curious.

In a small apartment building in New York, two young painters, Johnsy and Sue, lived and worked together. In a cold winter, a serious disease spread in the neighborhood. Unluckily, Johnsy caught the illness. She lay in bed all day, weak and hopeless. Instead of receiving treatment actively, Johnsy made a strange decision. She watched an old ivy vine (常春藤) outside her window. There were only a few leaves left on the vine after the cold wind. She told Sue that she would die when the last leaf fell. Sue was worried about her friend. She tried her best to cheer Johnsy up and asked the doctor for help. But Johnsy refused to listen. Her health got worse day by day, and she kept staring at the ivy vine, waiting for the last leaf to drop. An old painter called Behrman lived on the ground floor. He was over sixty years old. He had never finished a great painting in his life, though he always talked about creating a masterpiece. When Behrman knew Johnsy’s strange idea, he felt sorry for the poor girl. A terrible storm came on a cold rainy night. The wind and rain beat heavily against the windows. Everyone thought the last ivy leaf would surely fall. However, when Johnsy woke up the next morning, she was surprised to find the last leaf was still firmly on the vine. It stayed there bravely, fighting against the storm. Day after day, the leaf never fell. Johnsy slowly regained hope and courage. She realized how silly she had been and started to cooperate with the doctor. Finally, she got well completely. And that afternoon Sue came and said, “Mr. Behrman died of the serious cold today in the hospital. He was ill only two days. People found him in his room, helpless with pain. His shoes and clothing were wet through and icy cold. They couldn’t imagine where he had been on such a terrible night. And then they found a lantern, a ladder, some brushes and-look out the window, dear, at the last ivy leaf on the wall. Didn’t you wonder why it never fell when the wind blew? Ah, darling, it’s Behrman’s masterpiece-he painted it there the night that the last leaf fell.” Adapted from O. Henry’s short story The Last Leaf 1．Why did Johnsy want to give up her life?

If you have ever had to struggle through a lesson after spending half the night on homework, fighting to keep your eyes open, you are not alone. A recent survey of teenagers shows that over 60% get less than eight hours’ sleep on school nights, and nearly 15% sleep fewer than six hours. What makes sleep so important is that, while you are asleep, your brain is still quietly at work: it sorts through what you have learned during the day and stores it in lasting memory. In one study, students with eight hours’ sleep did much better in a memory test than those who stayed up all night to review. Getting enough sleep also helps you stay focused in class, think faster and keep a good mood. Students who sleep poorly often feel tired or angry more easily, and some even fall asleep at their desks. If heavy schoolwork is one reason so many teenagers go to bed late, the habits formed around bedtime are very often another. It has become common to lie in bed with a phone, moving from one short video to the next message long after the lights are off. The blue light from screens tells the brain that it is still daytime, so it is harder to fall asleep. Tea, coffee and cola, drunk late in the day, can leave the mind too awake to rest even around midnight. The encouraging part is that a few small changes are often enough. Doctors have some simple advice. Try to go to bed and get up at about the same time every day, even on weekends. Keep your phone out of the bedroom, or do something relaxing before sleep, such as reading a paper book. When homework truly cannot be completed, an honest talk with the teacher is wiser than staying up late to get it done. A brain that has rested well simply learns faster; sleep, looked at in the right way, is not time lost but time quietly put to work. 1．What percentage of students in the survey get less than six hours’ sleep? A．15 %. B．About 60 %. C．Over 80 %. D．Nearly 100 %. 2．What does the brain do while we are sleeping? A．It rests completely at night. B．It organizes learning into memory. C．It gives off special blue light. D．It keeps the tired mind wide awake. 3．A student who stays up late going over a lesson again and again may _______. A．remember it for a longer time B．develop a stronger memory slowly C．remember less than a rested student D．become more focused in the morning 4．What is the best title for the passage? A．Why does Sleep Matter So Much? B．Why do Teenagers Stay Up So Late? C．How can Students Change Bad Habits? D．What does The Study’s Memory Test Show? Last week, Year Nine students took part in the school’s first Career Exploration Week, a five-day programme to help them understand how their personality might connect to future jobs. The week began with a personality assessment (评估) taken by all 240 students. The results, studied by a team of career teachers, sorted students into six personality types: realistic, investigative (研究型的), artistic, social, enterprising (企业型的), and conventional (常规型的). “Many students had never thought about why some activities felt easy while others felt tiring,” said Ms. Tang, the school’s career teacher. “This test gave them a way to talk about those differences.” On Tuesday and Wednesday, people from twelve different jobs—including engineering, nursing, art design, computer programming, teaching, and accounting (会计)—visited the school to share their experiences. Students went to three forty-minute classes of their choice, where they could ask questions and try small tasks themselves. A computer engineer showed students how to build a simple app; a nurse showed how to take a patient’s blood pressure; an accountant showed how a company’s money is planned and recorded. The best part of the week was Thursday’s “Job Shadow” afternoon, when 180 students spent three hours at real workplaces around the city. Li Na, who said she was “quiet and careful with details,” shadowed a forensic (司法的) accountant and came back deeply interested. “I never imagined accounting could be like solving puzzles,” she said. “I always thought it was just about filling in forms.” Another student, Zhang Wei, had always thought he would become a doctor like his father. But after shadowing a paediatrician (儿科医生) for a day, he found that the job’s emotional demands left him feeling tired rather than happy. “I’m a quiet person,” he explained. “I need quiet time to get my energy back. I still want to help people, but maybe medical research would suit me better than seeing patients all day.” Friday ended with a reflection session. Students wrote short articles about what they had learned and how it might change their subject choices for senior high school. In a survey after the week, 87% of students said it helped them understand themselves better, and 72% said they were now considering jobs they had not known about before. The school plans to hold Career Exploration Week every year and is building an online library so students can keep exploring all year. “Personality is not fate,”Ms. Tang said at the end.“But knowing who you are—what makes you feel excited, what makes you feel tired, what makes you lose track of time—is the first step to making choices that truly fit you.” 1．What is the main purpose of Career Exploration Week? A．To help students choose their future careers immediately. B．To connect students’ personality traits to possible careers. C．To train students for specific jobs in twelve fields. D．To test whether students have the right personality for work. 2．What can be learned about the personality assessment? A．It helped students understand why tasks feel differently easy or hard. B．It divided students into twelve different career fields. C．It was designed and carried out by the students themselves. D．It showed that most students shared the same personality type. 3．Why does the author mention Li Na’s experience? A．To show that accounting is a better career than medicine. B．To prove that quiet students should all become accountants. C．To explain how forensic accounting differs from nursing. D．To illustrate (说明) how the Job Shadow changed a student’s view. 4．What did Zhang Wei discover about himself through the Job Shadow? A．He no longer wanted to help other people at all. B．Medical research was much easier than clinical medicine. C．The emotional demands of seeing patients left him tired. D．His father had been completely wrong about a career in medicine. 5．What does Ms. Tang mean by saying “Personality is not fate”? A．One’s personality does not fully decide what they can do. B．Personality tests are unreliable and should be ignored entirely. C．Students should choose careers regardless of their personality. D．Only extroverts can achieve real and lasting career success. When I was a little boy, I once watched Uncle Henry laugh at a falling leaf for a long time. I pulled my mother’s hand and asked, “Why is Uncle Henry so different?” She sat down beside me and said softly that he had a mental problem. His mind worked like a special clock—not broken, just different. Years later, Uncle Henry still calls me about eight times every day. The phone rings at breakfast, during homework, and even when I wash my face. I love him, but I only answer two or three of those calls. Our talks always follow a fun pattern. He makes up three imaginary worlds for us. In one, he is my father. In another, he is an army officer giving me orders. In the third, we are both doctors trying to save a sick person. When the phone rings, I take a breath and say, “Hello?” as if I don’t know him. A happy voice comes back, “It’s your dad, Henry!” or “Officer speaking — do you hear me?” or “Doctor Henry here! The patient needs help!” We act out our roles for a minute, stopping only when we both burst into laughter. Then, in his soft voice, he always says the same words at the end of the calls. Whenever I hear those words, a warm feeling fills my heart. “So are you,” I always answer. “The two of us!” This has gone on for years. No matter what happens—sad school reports, angry fights with friends, or lonely rainy days—the calls always come. They chase away my worries and leave me feeling peaceful. Uncle Henry cannot truly understand my growing pains, but he always provides me with steady care. When I run into trouble, I know he is there, like a doctor on call, to heal my heart. That simple, daily act of love saves me and gives me the strength to keep going. 1．What made the writer ask about Uncle Henry when he was young? A．He saw his uncle laughing at a falling leaf.

Born in 1897, Amelia was just like a “tomboy” in her childhood, collecting insects, hunting rats and climbing trees along the Missouri River. Then she moved around the middle west with her parents. There after seeing the wounded soldiers of World War I, she worked as a nurse’s aid and began to admire the wounded pilots. At 23, a ten-minute plane ride at an air show sparked (点燃) her lifelong love for flying. She recalled, “By the time I got two or three hundred feet off the ground, I knew I had to fly.” The road to success was always difficult. But she worked hard for her flying dream. In 1923, Amelia became the 16th woman in the world to receive a pilot’s license. Since then, Amelia’s life has always been closely connected with flight. She wrote and gave speeches about the time when flying would not be just for a few but would become an accepted part of everyday life. Besides, she also broke down barriers(障碍) for women, being the first woman to fly alone across the Atlantic. In 1937, Amelia tried the first around-the-world flight at the equator, but while flying over a small island in the Pacific, Amelia and her partner, Frederick Noonan, disappeared. At the last moment of her life, Amelia could send messages over the radio, but she couldn’t receive any. Her last words were “Circling…cannot see island…cannot hear you...please answer...” Finally, “Gas low...” and then, silence. Though Amelia died, she remains a legend (传奇), showing that women don’t have to live with limits and everyone has oceans to fly dreams. 1．Amelia was described as a “tomboy” in her childhood because she ________. A．liked playing indoors B．enjoyed challenging outdoor activities C．achieved a great deal D．dreamed of becoming a pilot 2．Amelia’s last words over the radio showed ________.

D．Amelia succeeded in completing her trip around the world. 4．What would be the best title for the passage? A．A Mysterious Disappearance. B．The Legend of a Female Pilot. C．A Pioneer for Women. D．The Road to Success. Plastic is everywhere. According to the United Nations, over 8 million tons of plastic waste enters the world’s oceans every year. There’s plastic litter on the highest mountains and in the deepest parts of the sea. Now plastic has been found in another unexpected place: in the nests of wild birds. According to a study published in the journal Environmental Pollution, many bird species are using small pieces of plastic litter as building materials for their nests. Marta García is a biologist at the University of Barcelona, in Spain. She’s the study’s lead author. “For me, a bird nest made of plastic could be a symbol of our times,” she said. “They can’t find enough natural materials, so they use rubbish.” García says the age we’re in now is the period in which human activity has had a huge influence on the natural environment. Birds using plastic waste in their nests is one clear example of that influence. New nest materials Wild birds build nests to protect their eggs and baby birds. Normally, they use natural materials like grass, twigs, leaves and feathers to build soft and strong nests. But according to García’s study, of the 80 common bird species studied across Europe, 45 have been seen using plastic rubbish in their nests. Nearly three out of every four of those nests contained plastic waste, such as plastic bags, bottle caps, and plastic ropes. The others contained paper or cloth waste, such as old candy wrappers or cloth strips. García said that she and her team first learned about birds using plastic in nests when they noticed photos shared by bird watchers online. They decided to learn more by doing a wider study. For their research, the scientists collected photos of bird nests from research papers, nature websites, and bird lover communities. They found examples from 23 countries across Europe. Some had been taken by scientists. Some had been taken by nature photographers. Many had been taken by common bird watchers who were just interested. What does it mean? Scientists aren’t sure why birds are choosing litter instead of natural materials. But they have theories. Some areas are losing natural plant materials as cities expand. Birds could be turning to litter because they can’t find enough grass or twigs. It’s also possible that birds are selecting plastic because it’s light and easy to carry. Or they’re attracted by its bright colors. Scientists agree that plastic pollution harms wildlife in many ways. But it isn’t clear that the plastic in nests is directly hurting the birds. “It’s really a surprising example of the power of adaptation,” García said. “What are the long-term consequences of these adaptations? We don’t know yet.” 1．What does García mean by saying “a bird nest made of plastic could be a symbol of our times”? A．Birds prefer light and bright plastic materials for nests. B．All birds are now forced to build nests with plastic waste. C．Plastic nests help birds protect their eggs better from enemies. D．Human activities have caused great changes to the natural environment. 2．How did García and her team do their research on birds’ plastic nests? A．By collecting and studying photos of nests from different sources. B．By taking lots of photos of birds in controlled environments. C．By watching birds build nests closely in their natural habitats. D．By interviewing local bird watchers about their findings. 3．What does the underlined word “expand” most probably mean? A．Shrinking. B．Growing larger. C．Disappearing. D．Moving. 4．What can we learn from García’s words in the last paragraph? A．She plans to stop birds from using plastic to build nests. B．She thinks birds should not change their nest-building habits. C．She is sure that plastic pollution is good for wild birds. D．She believes adaptation is amazing but its long-term results are unknown. 5．Which is the best title for the passage? A．Plastic Waste Is Harming All Wild Animals B．Wild Birds Are in Great Danger Now C．Wild Birds Are Using Trash to Build Their Nests D．Scientists Photograph Birds Living with Plastic Waste Vertical farming is a new type of agricultural model that grows crops in vertically stacked layers, usually inside controlled indoor environments. With the rapid growth of the global population and the reduction of arable land, this technology is seen as an important solution to future food shortages. How does vertical farming work? The core of vertical farming is to simulate the natural growth environment of plants in a closed space. - Lighting System: Instead of sunlight, vertical farms use full-spectrum LED lights that can accurately adjust the light intensity, wavelength and illumination time according to different growth stages of crops, ensuring that plants get the most suitable light for photosynthesis. - Water Circulation System: Most vertical farms adopt hydroponic or aeroponic technology. Plants grow in nutrient solution or mist environment instead of soil. The water is recycled in the closed system, which can save more than 90% of water compared with traditional farming. - Environmental Control System: Sensors monitor temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide concentration and other indicators in real time, keeping the environment in the best state for plant growth around the clock. This makes vertical farming unaffected by seasons and bad weather. Vertical farming has many advantages. It can be built in cities, greatly shortening the distance from farm to table and reducing the carbon emissions caused by transportation. It also avoids the use of pesticides because the closed environment is not easy to breed pests, so the produced vegetables are safer and healthier. However, vertical farming also faces challenges. The high cost of equipment and electricity is the biggest obstacle to its large-scale promotion. At present, most vertical farms are only suitable for growing leafy vegetables with short growth cycles, and it is still difficult to cultivate staple foods such as rice and wheat. Despite the limitations, with the continuous progress of technology, vertical farming is gradually moving from the experimental stage to commercial application. It may become an important part of the urban food supply system in the near future. 1．Which of the following are the core systems of vertical farming? ① Lighting System  ② Water Circulation System  ③ Transportation System  ④ Environmental Control System A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④ D．②③④ 2．What is the biggest advantage of vertical farming in terms of water use? A．It uses nutrient solution instead of water completely. B．It recycles water and saves a large amount of water. C．It only needs water when planting staple foods. D．It consumes more water but produces more food. 3．What is the main challenge that stops vertical farming from being widely used? A．The crops grow too slowly. B．It can only grow in rural areas. C．The equipment and power costs are high. D．It produces food with worse taste. 4．Where is this passage most probably taken from? A．A science magazine.B．A travel guidebook. C．A history textbook. D．A fashion magazine. 四、短文填空 Have you ever walked through the streets of Nanjing and felt the weight of history around you? Every old building, every stone, and every tree has a story to tell.

Recently, a special school project in the UK has been using adult mentors (导师) and soccer to help teenagers grow up in a safe and healthy world. Students can e 1 talk to these trusted adults or play soccer with them. This project is h 2 popular, and across the country, thousands of teenagers are joining this project. It is now widely r 3 as a successful way to support young people. One 14-year-old student said, “I have never been comfortable around other teenagers, feeling ‘unable to communicate’.” The project started in 2025. Its leaders believe teenagers need trusted adult role models to build the right kinds of values, instead of being influenced by harmful online opinions. At a time when wrong ideas about masculinity (男性气概) are spreading online, they hope to help students develop good values. The program does help teenagers p 4 better at school and at home. It has also g 5 improved their communication skills. For nearly two years, students have joined a weekly after-school class about emotional growth. The teachers talk about teenagers’ brain development and feelings with students aged 12 to 14. Teenage years are just a s 6 of life. These classes help teenagers who don’t always believe in themselves become more c 7 and learn to deal with their feelings. The class is held in a local secondary school. It helps students who have trouble with their schoolwork not only face the problem but also f 8 the situation. Its goal is to help them finish school with the skills and grades to make a good move into adulthood. The program “helped me open up... because I didn’t really like talking to people. I just kept all my emotions bottled up inside of me,” one student said. The program teaches an important lesson. R 9 that asking for help is not a sign of weakness. This project is a great e 10 for other schools. With the help of such projects, more teenagers can grow up healthily. 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整。每空一词。 Learning is a lifelong journey that shapes both our knowledge and our good character.
