Education B Li Wei, a 15-year-old junior high school student, spends his free time on small inventions instead of playing online games like most teenagers. He creates practical tools to solve small problems, showing a teenager’s sense of responsibility. At school, Li Wei does well in all subjects, especially in science and maths. This makes a good base for his inventions. His journey of invention started with a science class when he was 12. At that time, his science teacher played videos about young student inventors in class. These inventors helped others with small creations. Their stories deeply touched Li Wei and he decided to try making simple machines by himself. Till now, Li Wei has successfully made a smart rubbish bin. It can not only open its cover itself when people walk near it, but also separate dry waste and wet waste into different areas, making it very convenient to use. When talking about the idea for the invention, Li Wei said that it came to his mind suddenly one day because his grandma had difficulty moving and reaching the rubbish bin. He hopes this invention can solve the daily problems for the elderly and make their lives easier. “I feel really happy when my family and neighbours use my invention,” Li Wei said in an interview. “I will keep inventing and try to create more practical, small creations to help more people in need. We know that small inventions have a big influence on everyone’s life.” 4. Where did Li Wei get his idea for inventing things? A. From his grandma’s suggestions. B. From his maths teacher’s advice. C. From a video lesson in his science class. 5. What does the underlined word “It” mean in Paragraph 3? A. The smart rubbish bin. B. The cover of the bin. C. The dry waste. 6. Why did Li Wei invent the smart rubbish bin? A. To win prizes at school competitions. B. To make more money to support his family. C. To help his grandma and other elderly people. 7. What does the writer want to tell us? A. Good hobbies bring people success. B. Small inventions make a big difference. C. We should respect the elderly around us. C In today’s world, people are busy with work and study, and stress (压力) has become a common problem. Many people are looking for ways to relax, and music is one of the most popular choices. But can music really help reduce stress? The answer is yes. Scientific studies have shown that listening to music can lower our heart rate and blood pressure. When we listen to slow and soft music, our body enters a state of relaxation. It can also reduce the level of stress hormones (激素) in our body. This is why many people like to listen to light music before going to bed. It helps them sleep better. However, not all music has the same effect (效果). Fast and loud music, like rock or heavy metal, may make some people feel more excited or even anxious (焦虑的). On the other hand, classical music and nature sounds are generally considered to be more relaxing. The sounds of flowing water, birds singing, or wind blowing can make us feel close to nature and forget our worries. Besides listening, playing music is also a great way to relieve (缓解) stress. When you focus on playing an instrument, your mind is taken away from daily· troubles. It’s like a form of meditation. You pour your feelings into the music, and the stress just melts away. So, the next time you feel stressed, why not put on some relaxing music or pick up your instrument? Give yourself a musical break and feel the difference. 8. According to the passage, what can listening to slow and soft music do? A. Increase our heart rate. B. Make us feel more anxious. C. Help our body relax. 9. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a relaxing sound? A. The sound of a busy street. B. The sound of flowing water. C. The sound of wind blowing. 10. What does the underlined word “meditation” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. A way to exercise the body. B. A way to train the mind to be calm. C. A way to learn a new skill. 11. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To introduce different styles of music. B. To show that music can help reduce stress. C. To teach people how to play an instrument. D On July 23, a Chinese mathematician, Wang Hong, received the Fields Medal, known as the “Nobel Prize” in math. It is the first time Chinese have received this honor. The prize is given every four years to up to four top mathematicians under 40. Born in 1991 in Guilin, Guangxi, Wang Hong fell in love with math when she met a difficult problem. Later she tried learning architecture (建筑), but it brought her back to math. Now, she works as a teacher at New York University and the Institute of Advanced Scientific Studies in France. When she was in school, Wang liked studying new textbooks by herself. She enjoyed asking herself questions and finding answers on her own. In 2007, she entered Peking University. Unluckily, she missed the math program by a few points and went to the School of Earth and Space Sciences. After one year, she transferred to math. However, college-level math was really hard. Most of her classmates took part in math olympiads (奥数竞赛) training, but she didn’t. She once doubted (怀疑) herself and she was always upset. Wang got the Fields Medal for solving a hard math problem. Her work helps people better understand waves and signal transmission (信号传输). It improves technologies like CT scans and radar (雷达) communication. Winning the big prize made her world-famous. But Wang thinks her success comes from teamwork and luck. “What I’ve learned is that as long as you achieve your dream, it doesn’t matter how long it takes. Others might be quicker, and you might take your time, but that’s perfectly fine,” she said. 12. Why did Wang Hong doubt herself at Peking University? A. Because her classmates were much better at maths. B. Because her teachers thought she had no talent. C. Because she wanted to become an architect then. 13. What can Wang Hong’s research help improve? A. The design of planes and cars. B. The production of china. C. CT scans and radar communication. 14. What can we infer from Wang Hong’s words in the last paragraph? A. We must finish our goals as fast as possible. B. It is OK to spend more time achieving our goals. C. Teamwork is less important than personal talent. 15. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The life and achievements of Wang Hong. B. How to become a great mathematician in college. C. The history of the famous Fields Medal. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑，选项中有一项为多余选项。 chat. deepseek. com deepseek Turn Off the Lyrics (歌词), Turn Up Your Focus I love wearing headphones and listening to songs while doing homework. I feel it helps me work better. Is that OK? Thought for 1 It depends. If you listen to music without lyrics, it’s fine. 16 This is called the “music interference (干扰) problem”. Why does music with lyrics hurt my memory? I feel relaxed when I listen to it. Thought for 2 17 . Therefore, when your brain has to do two things at a time, it slows you down. Also, later when you try to review what you’ve just learnt, you may remember the song instead of your homework. I see. So what should I do? Thought for 3 First, while doing homework, listen to instrumental music or white noise (like rain sounds). These sounds won’t fight for your brain’s language part. 18 But don’t worry — after a few days, you’ll get used to it. Second, after you finish one subject, listen to one song with lyrics before moving to the next subject. During those 3–5 minutes, your brain saves what you’ve just learnt. Then turn it off and start the next subject. Music becomes a reward (奖励), not background noise. Third, after you finish all your homework, enjoy any music you like. It really helps your brain relax. 19 Also, music makes you feel happy and proud because you have completed your tasks. If I’m already used to doing homework with music, will it be hard to change? Thought for 4 Give it one week. Turn off the lyrics. Turn up your focus. 20 A. A relaxed brain learns better the next day. B. You might feel bored in the silence at first. C. And loud music can harm your ears over time. D. But pop songs with lyrics can hurt your memory. E. You’ll finish homework faster and make fewer mistakes. F. Because the brain’s language part has limited (有限的) space. 第二部分 语言运用（共两节，满分20分） 第一节（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 When you were a child, you might have taken a sweet, white sugar pill. But do you know who made it? It was Gu Fangzhou, a great Chinese scientist. His 21 saved millions of children from polio (小儿麻痹症). Gu was born in 1926. Seeing how much people suffered from diseases, he decided to devote himself to medicine. After years of hard study, he became a(n) 22 and later a virus (病毒) expert. In the 1950s, polio broke out in China. Many children got sick and some couldn’t walk again. Gu felt very sad and made up his 23 to fight the disease. Making a vaccine (疫苗) was a hard job. At that time, there was little technology, and the work had to be done 24 . Gu and his team worked day and night in a small lab. They tried again and again but 25 gave up. In 1960, they finally made a vaccine. To make sure it was safe, Gu tested it on 26 first. Some team members were worried, but Gu said, “If we don’t test it, how can we let children use it?” Later, Gu found the liquid (液体) vaccine was hard to carry and not easy for children to 27 . So he thought of a clever idea — putting the vaccine into candy. The “sugar pill” vaccine was born, cheap, easy to keep, and loved by children. Gu didn’t stop there. He kept working for more than 28 years until China got rid of polio in 2000. When people praised him, he 29 said, “I did nothing special. I just did what a doctor should do.” In 2019, Gu passed away at the age of 92, but his sugar pills will always be 30 in our hearts. 21. A. invention B. message C. story 22.

Actually, when I used the word “event”, I meant two events: the 2008 Summer Olympics and the 2022 Winter Olympics. They 32 (hold) in Beijing — the first city ever to host both the Summer and the Winter Olympics. The most recent was the 2022 Winter Olympics. A total of nearly 2,900 athletes attended and competed in 109 events in seven Olympic winter sports. There were many 33 (excite) moments. Nearly the whole world watched the fantastic figure skating and ski jumping 34 (competition). I watched the freestyle skiing, and like everyone else, I fell in love with those brave and talented athletes. I also became a huge fan of the mascot, Bing Dwen Dwen. And we shall not forget the amazing achievements in the 2008 Summer Olympics. I watched in wonder as Usain Bolt smiled 35 (he) way across the finish line in the 100 metres, setting a new world record. Then I watched the drama of the shooting event. Du Li 36 (win) her second Olympic gold medal, after the first one in 2004. Both were dramatic come-from-behind victories. Hosting two Olympics brought challenges but also opportunities 37 Beijing. Both Games showed China’s success in its reform and opening-up on the world stage. China’s great achievements have gained worldwide attention. In both events, many volunteers and citizens helped out. They worked with pride to make sure that people from around the world had a 38 (please) stay. Events like the Olympic Games build bridges between countries and form friendships between people. The purpose of the Olympics is to build relationships between people, to celebrate the Olympic spirit, and to bring people together for 39 (peaceful) and harmony. This is shown in both the motto of the 2008 Olympics, “One World, One Dream”, and the motto of the 2022 Olympics, “Together for a Shared Future”. These mottos touch my heart quite 40 (deep), as I’m sure they touch yours. 第三部分 写作（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题，并将答案写到答题卡的相应位置。 Since the beginning of human history, people have looked up at the stars and wondered what they were like. Many ancient cultures believed that these points of light were gods or other mysterious worlds. However, as science and technology developed, we learnt the truth about stars. They are real places like our own sun, and they are farther away than anyone imagined. This raises the question: Can we visit the stars one day? The man-made object which has travelled farthest from Earth is Voyager 1. This spacecraft was launched in 1977. In case Voyager 1 is found by alien life, a special record with sounds and pictures from Earth is carried on board. It shows who we are and where we are from. By 2025, Voyager 1 was over 25 billion kilometres from Earth, but that is still a long way from Earth’s second-closest star, Proxima Centauri. That star is 4.2 light years away — about 40 trillion kilometres! The challenge of visiting the stars gets even bigger for space flights with humans. The farthest that any human has travelled in space is only about 400,000 kilometres, to the far side of the moon. Time is a big problem. At present, even a journey to the planet Mars will take around six to nine months. What will the astronauts eat and drink during this period? And how about their health and safety? These problems grow when we talk about visiting another star. It might take hundreds of thousands of years to get there! Scientists, however, believe that visiting the stars is not a completely wild dream. One idea is to have the astronauts sleep during their journey, like some animals do in winter. Another is to develop much faster spacecraft. While this is not possible right now, with nations and scientists cooperating with one another, there is hope that the necessary technology will be developed. Humans have photographed other galaxies, set foot on the moon, and even successfully landed rovers on Mars. It seems likely that one day we will reach the stars. 41. What is the main idea of Paragraph 1? 42. What does Voyager 1 carry on board? 43. Which star is the second-closest star to Earth? 44. What challenges will astronauts meet when travelling to another star? List at least two. 45. Do you think humans will visit the stars one day? Why or why not? 第二节（满分20分） 某中学生英语报社开展主题为“Our School Sports Meeting”的征文活动，请你写一篇100词左右的英语短文投稿，介绍本次校运会中班级同学的参赛情况（如跑步、跳跃类、球类等）以及你的感受。 注意： 1．书写规范，表达连贯，可根据内容适当发挥； 2．文中不得出现真实的学校及姓名。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
