Mr.Johnson,a high school history teacher,had long noticed a problem in his classroom.While his
students could carefully remember dates,names and events for exams,they always failed to understand the
human side of history.To them,the past seemed only facts,without emotion,struggle or personal meaning.
Wanting to fix this gap,Mr.Johnson decided to completely change his teaching method,trading a traditional
research report for a story-writing task.
He asked his students to pick a historical person and write a story from the person's point of view.The
task was confusing at first,but soon the classroom was full of active questions and discussion.One student
learned deeply about the life of a young soldier in World War I,writing a sad and moving story.Another wrote
about a female scholar from the Renaissance,making up a story of her love for learning being held back by
social rules.
Mr.Johnson was surprised by the big change in his students.The essays he got were not just correct;they
were full of real feelings and a clear understanding of people's thoughts.The students had stopped just
第2页
repeating facts and truly connected with history,seeing historical people with many different sides.In later
class talks,their questions changed from "What happened?"to "Why did they feel that way?"and "What
would I have done?.This story-writing method didn't just help them remember facts better;it built up their
ability to think deeply and their real care for how others felt.
Inspired by this success,Mr.Johnson has now made story-telling a regular part of his lessons.He believes
that when students learn to experience history through story-telling,they do more than just remember it-
they start to understand its long-lasting effects on their own lives and what it means to be human in general.In
his classroom,history is no longer just a subject about the past;it has become a talk with the past.
24.What was the original problem of Mr.Johnson's students?
A.They preferred science over history.
B.They showed little interest in history.
C.They could not memorize historical facts.
D.They failed to connect with history emotionally.
25.How did Mr.Johnson change his teaching method?
A.He gave students more fact-based research papers.
B.He showed more historical documentaries with facts.
C.He invited historians to give lectures in his classroom.
D.He asked students to write in a historical person's voice.
26.What can we learn about the students from paragraph 3?
A.They got much higher grades in history exams.
B.They enjoyed reading more than writing stories.
C.They began to see historical people as real persons.
D.They still thought history was boring and meaningless.
27.What is the main idea of the text?
A.History should value facts over emotions.
B.History is more than facts-it's human stories.
C.Students should learn history through story writing.
D.Students should ask questions when learning history.
How can a country give its economy a quick push in a short term?Just host a major concert series to
encourage consumption ()However,only a small number of performers can create a huge economic
effect.One of the best examples is American singer Taylor Swift.Economists have even created a new word
called Swiftconomics to describe the economic effect caused by her concerts.
Taylor Swift's concerts often bring large amounts of money to the cities where she performs.One reason
her concerts have such a strong effect is that many fans turn the concert into a travel experience.They arrive
days before the event,visit local sights,stay in hotels,eat in restaurants and buy souvenirs.Even after the
concert,many visitors keep spending money in the city.Because of this,the economic benefits are much larger
than ticket sales alone.Experts believe her concerts have created billions of dollars in economic activity.Some
people have even jokingly called her a walking GDP.
China is also exploring ways to use concerts to support local economies.Many cities now regard concerts
not only as joy,but also as a chance to introduce the city to visitors.During big concerts,extra trains are added
for travelling fans to ensure smooth trips.Cities like Hangzhou and Chengdu have launched "Concert
Tourism"packages,including discounted hotels,guided tours and exclusive access to attractions
for ticket holders.The goal is to turn a one-night show into a multi-day tourism experience.
共4页
However,challenges remain.Overcrowding,traffic jams and rising prices may weaken these positive
effects.Local governments are improving planning to balance economic gains with residents'daily lives.
Experts believe that the concert economy is here to stay.As long as people desire live music and shared
experiences,cities will find creative ways to make use of its power.With smart transport,local cooperation
and digital marketing,the future of the concert economy looks bright.
28.Why is Taylor Swift mentioned?
A.To praise her music talent.
B.To prove tourism's power.
C.To explain a concert effect.
D.To introduce a famous singer.
29.What does the underlined phrase"a walking GDP"in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.An economic influencer.
B.A wealthy superstar.
C.An attractive artist.
D.A popular musician.
30.What does China's railway system do to meet the need?
A.Offer more trains.
B.Lower ticket prices.
C.Open new railway lines.
D.Upgrade railway system.
31.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.New chances for urban tourism
B.The Rise of the Concert Economy
C.Hidden risks of live concerts
D.The Future of Concert Tourism
D
Crows (are very smart birds.They can count,tell human faces,and even use tools.Recently,a
popular story said that a Swedish town was training crows to pick up cigarette butts ()While this project
isn't actually happening now,the idea is based on real science.
In 2022,a researcher named Hans Christian Hanssen proposed"Corvid Cleaning".The plan was to train
wild crows to collect cigarette rubbish and drop it into special bins )In return,the bins would give the
birds food as a reward ()The idea drew international attention,and some experts even praised its
possibilities to cut down litter in the city.However,the business behind the project failed in 2025.Despite this,
false news about the program continues to spread online.
Why did the project fail?A 2024 study pointed out some serious worries.Researchers worried about the
health risks to the crows and whether the public would accept animals cleaning up human waste.Besides this,
the business itself was short of money.This wasn't the first try either.A French theme park tried something
similar in 2018 with mixed results.In the end,the question isn't just whether we can train crows to clean,but
should we?
But the story also draws attention to a huge environmental problem.Cigarette butts are the world's most
littered item.Humans throw away around 4.5 trillion butts every year,and that number could soon double.
These butts take years to break down and give off harmful chemicals into soil and waterways,hamming both
wildlife and the environment.
While using clever crows as cleaners makes for an eye-catching headline,the real lesson is about human
responsibility.Instead of depending on animals to fix our problems,we need to address cigarette pollution at
its source through better waste management and a change of smoking rules.Crows are very smart,but at the
end of the day,protecting the planet is our job,not theirs.
32.What was the main purpose of the"Corvid Cleaning"project?
A.To create a new bird shelter.
B.To study the cleverness of crows.
C.To test special trash bins in Sweden.
D.To train crows to clear cigarette waste.
第3页
33.What can be inferred about the project from Paragraph 3?
A.It faced money problems and people's doubts.B.It was completely rejected by the public.
C.It needed better management and more money.D.It brought health risks to the local citizens.
34.How does the author show the seriousness of cigarette pollution in paragraph 4?
A.By explaining a key idea.
B.By showing facts and results.
C.By asking readers questions.
D.By sharing personal experiences.
35.What does the author express in the last paragraph?
A.Crows are too smart for cleaning tasks.
B.Theme parks should stop using wild animals.
C.Humans should deal with pollution themselves.
D.We should not believe false stories about animals.

It's almost impossible to never complain ()but if you can learn to stop complaining or just complain
less,your life will change for the better.It's not easy to change your way of thinking from negative and critical
(to more positive.36 Here are some practical ways to stop complaining.
Focus on solving the problem
Studies show that complaining can be useful if it's aimed at getting a result,like solving a problem.Next
time you feel like complaining,ask yourself:37 If the answer is yes,then think about how to use
that complaint to make things better.
Accept what you can't change
Sometimes people complain because they're unhappy with the reality but feel they can't change it.
38
When a problem is truly beyond control,sharing your feelings with others can help you feel better
and clear stress.
Cheat your brain
_39 Smiles mean happiness,and frowns (mean sadness or anger.Usually,the feeling
comes first,then the facial expression.But research shows it can also work the other way around.A theory
says that the expressions we make can bring about the related feelings.So next time you're unhappy and want
to complain,try this theory.Don't frown or look upset.Instead,force a smile and wait a few minutes.You
might find yourself feeling better.
Speak to a doctor
Do you complain a lot?Is it making your mood bad and affecting your daily life?If yes,it might be a
good idea to ask for professional help.Doctors can help you change unhelpful thinking habits that make you
complain so much.40
A.Is complaining a mental illness?
B.It will take effort,but it's totally possible.
C.Will this complaint help solve my problem?
D.You can tell how someone feels by their face.
E.After all,not every problem has a clear solution.
F.They'll also teach you better ways to deal with problems.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was June,the last day of school.My class of first-graders was expecting their summer vacation.To add
a joyful flavor,I brought some balloons,but for me,this holiday was bittersweet(苦乐参半的).I'd just moved
to this city and couldn't afford to fly back to accompany Dad.He was quite missing me,for it was his first
summer without me.
When turning off the light on my way out,I noticed the balloons near the window.Unsure what to do
with them,I picked up the thirteen strings (and put them into the backseat of my car.Their rainbow of
colors lifted my spirits somehow.
As the city was still foreign to me,I decided to go for a drive and soon found myself winding down a
road.Before long,a retirement home (appeared.This place seemed to be forgotten and I found a man
sitting alone in the shade outside.
I felt a sudden desire to pull in.But the balloons in my backseat blocked my view-then I knew what to
do with them.Opening the door and picking up one of the strings,I waved to the man,and he smiled.His
name was Daniel and he was about Dad's age.When I handed him the balloon,he smiled,"Thanks.It gives a
little color to my life."While tying it to his chair,he looked happier.So I smiled,"You're welcome,Daniel.
Perhaps I'll see you again sometime."
Unexpectedly,he replied,"Perhaps,but probably not.Visitors are always welcome,but rarely come."His
words forced me to sit down on an old chair.Then we began chatting about our lives and his voice always
reminded me of Dad.I'd thought it would be boring talking with a stranger.But it wasn't;it was meaningful
-I had been feeling lonely,and so had Daniel,and so had the people in the retirement home.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右,2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Then i remembered the other twelve balloons in the backseat.

A Cultural Tour to Xi'an
Last week witnessed a fantastic tour to Xi'an organized by our school in an effort to bridge textbook
knowledge and real-life experience,which attracted more than 100 participants.
The impressive four-day cultural journey kicked off with a visit to the Terracotta Amy,where students
admired thousands of life-like warrior statues.Besides,students explored Shaanxi History Museum -a
treasure house of Chinese civilization,feasting their eyes on a wealth of well-preserved cultural relics.The
highlight came when students watched shadow plays(皮影)and tried their hand at the puppets(木偶),
experiencing traditional Chinese culture in an engaging way.
The exploration turned out to be a great success and was highly thought of.Not only did it help students
gain a deeper insight into Chinese culture,but it also planted seeds of national pride that will surely blossom in
the future.
读后续写
Then I remembered the other twelve balloons in the backseat.I rushed back to my car,grabbed the
strings of the colorful bunch and tiptoed into the hallway,each balloon flying like a rainbow behind me.
Knocking on each door,I offered them a balloon and a smile.Their faces lit up with surprise and delight,like
children receiving unexpected gifts.Some tied the balloons to their walkers and some simply held the strings
tightly.The hallway,once filled with silence and routine,now shone with soft chatter and floating color.When
I watched their wrinkled faces bloom into bright smiles,a wave of warmth and satisfaction washed over me,
sparkling a profound desire to enhance deeper ties.
Over the next six months,I visited Daniel often.We sat on the bench,drank tea and poured out our
hearts to each other,sharing his glorious achievements and my life's struggles,which filled my heart with
warmth and washed away the week's tiredness.Every reunion drew us closer,creating a connection that went
beyond blood ties.Gradually,my students joined our visits,made paper cranes and talked with the elderly
injecting more energy into the once forgotten retirement house.Little did I know before this experience that
the simplest gestures of mutual company had the power to strengthen deep bonds,comforting lonely hearts
while sparking a sense of belonging.

Record for the tallest living male at 246.5 centimeters in 2009.Kosen's growth was caused by medical
conditions.And because of these,he needs help to walk,let alone help his family with farm work.Also,Kosen
was unable to complete his education because of his height.He described the advantages of being tall as being
able to see a great distance and help his family with tasks such as changing light bulbs.And he listed
disadvantages as not being able to find clothes or shoes that fit as well as fitting into an average sized car.But
these difficulties were solved after he became famous because some companies generously promised to
provide lifelong service for him.In 2013,Kosen married a Syrian woman named Merv Debo.In an interview,
he said that his biggest problem with his wife was communication as he speaks Turkish,but his wife speaks
Arabic.On Guinness World Records day in 2015,Kosen met for the first time the world's shortest man Ever
Chandra Behoder Donkey,who is 54.6 centimeters tall at an event in London.
