One small habit has benefited me a lot since I entered senior high school. I form the habit of keeping a short English diary every day, in which I write a few sentences about my daily life. At first, I made plenty of grammar mistakes. However, I stuck to it instead of giving up. Gradually, I can express my ideas more freely and my writing ability has improved significantly. This habit teaches me not to expect quick success. Small efforts add up. Never underestimate small habits, for they can shape us step by step. 读后续写 However, I was assigned to pair up with Alex to design a poster. Reluctantly, we started working together. I was worried that working with Alex would be very difficult because of our previous tension. But to my surprise, as the work progressed, we found that we shared many common interests. We put a lot of effort into the drawings and texts, and finally we completed a quite outstanding poster. Alex seemed to forgive me. He appreciated my efforts and began to care about my feelings. The teacher highly praised our work and our classmates were amazed at the picture on the poster. Alex proudly introduced that the fantastic picture was drawn by me. I smiled shyly but happily as my classmates clapped for me and gave me a thumbs-up. Slowly but surely, I started feeling more comfortable in my new school. I made new friends, including Alex, and began to participate in activities in and after classes. By the end of the school year, I had fully adapted to the new environment. Moving to a new town was not only challenging, but it also opened up a world of opportunities and new experiences for me. 听力材料 Text 1 M: I saw some people throwing plastic bags on the street when walking my dog yesterday.

Unlike traditional camp programs, our climbing program is managed by professional guides. In this program, we teach fundamental climbing skills in a secure environment, including safe climbing methods, proper use of ropes, and balanced movements on rocks. We stay outdoors for the four days to help kids practise newly-learned skills. Most of the time will be spent on rock climbing. Besides, one day is reserved for a hike or swimming at Lake Minnewaska beach (available only with a lifeguard on duty). Activity schedules will be adjusted according to weather conditions. If it rains, alternative activities like rappelling, hiking or indoor climbing will be arranged. Notes • This is a group-based program. Though we will help improve every participant’s skills, all activities are planned to satisfy the needs of the whole group. If you expect customized training for your child, especially those with advanced climbing skills, a private outing is a better choice. • We have made preparations for light rain. However, we reserve the right to cancel the day’s activities when heavy thunderstorms approach. 21. What is the main difference between this program and a traditional camp program? A. It admits kids of all ages. B. It supplies technical equipment. C. It is led by professional guides. D. It centres on building confidence. 22. What activity may participants experience in the four-day program? A. Hiking for one day. B. Daily swimming in the lake. C. Boating on Lake Minnewaska. D. Entering climbing matches. 23. Who is the program most suitable for? A. Kids who are skilled climbers. B. Kids who enjoy group activities. C. Kids who want one-on-one guidance. D. Kids who travel without parents. B I started playing volleyball for two reasons. Primarily, my parents wanted me to try out a sport that could make me enjoy workouts. I also knew that my mom loved playing it in Venezuela when she was younger. I thought maybe I could feel the same. Indeed, I fell in love with it after just a couple of practices. In between practices, I would stretch my arms out, hold my hands together and push my wrists down to try to build muscle memory of the perfect platform. I would catch the ball, focusing on forming a triangular (三角形的) shape each time, with my right hand guiding the movement. Each time I’d release the ball upwards, I knew I was one try closer to getting it right. I worked tirelessly because I wanted to get better. I wanted to be great one day. However, I lacked the advantages most girls had. I started playing years after many other girls had. I was put under great pressure when the club where I practiced placed me on their most competitive team for my age group mid-season. Most of the girls did not welcome me. While this competition within and between teams was sometimes productive, it proved to be unhealthy. It was dangerous when it reached a tipping point. By the end of my freshman year of high school, I’d reached my breaking point. Over four years, I only touched a volleyball a couple of times and only in casual settings. When the opportunity came to play with one of my best friends in a series of friendly matches, I hesitated. I eventually agreed, making it a point not to be so hard on myself. Volleyball finally brought the same enjoyment that had made me fall in love with it. I look forward to every opportunity I have to play now. I expect there will be more volleyball sessions. 24. What is the main reason for the author to take up volleyball at first? A. She aimed to turn into a great volleyball player. B. Her parents hoped she could find pleasure from exercise. C. Her mother ordered her to practise volleyball in Venezuela. D. She planned to take part in matches together with her friends. 25. Which of the following best describes the author before joining the competitive team? A. Careless and impatient. B. Calm and unwilling. C. Self-confident and proud. D. Hard-working and determined. 26. What caused the author to stop playing volleyball for years? A. She found volleyball boring and tiring. B. Unhealthy team competition wore her out. C. She had no time for volleyball as a freshman. D. She suffered a serious sports injury in training. 27. What lesson can we learn from the author’s story? A. A demanding coach contributes to players’ success. B. Heavy pressure is likely to destroy a person completely. C. Joy comes back if we stop being too strict with ourselves. D. The love for sports we once had is always hard to forget. C Dogs have been a part of human society for over 20,000 years. At first, they helped hunters. Soon after, they became family companions. Pet dogs may not help people get food, but plenty of evidence has shown that they can reduce anxiety and improve social skills. A recent study led by Kikusui Takefumi at Azabu University, published in iScience, explores the reason. It finds that the microbes (微生物) in the guts (肠道) of dog owners differ from those of people without dogs. And this difference partly causes differences in people’s behaviour. The brain does not work alone. Microbes, especially those in the gut, can produce chemicals that affect brain activity. With this knowledge, Dr Kikusui wanted to find out whether microbes passed from dogs bring mental benefits to their owners. To test his idea, he did a study on 343 participants in Tokyo. He chose teenagers because youth is a key period for brain development, and social experiences can create long-lasting influences on mental health. His team studied 96 teens who kept dogs and 247 teens who did not. As expected, teens with pet dogs had fewer social problems. The researchers planned to put dog-related microbes into teens without dogs. However, this plan was not safe for human teens. For this reason, Dr Kikusui turned to mice for further tests. After six weeks, mice given microbes from dog-owning teens were more willing to get close to strange mice. They also showed more care for upset partners in the same cage. Dr Kikusui agrees that we cannot simply draw direct conclusions from mice to humans. Even so, his results suggest that changes in gut microbes caused by keeping dogs can influence the brain. If the findings are proved true, a healthier mind may come not from deep self-reflection, but from the company of dogs. 28. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. Dogs may lessen people’s anxiety and improve social skills. B. Dog owners enjoy better living conditions thanks to dogs. C. Dog gut microbes fully explain people’s behaviour differences. D. Dogs stayed with humans mainly to reduce anxiety long ago. 29. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. It compares teens with and without pet dogs. B. It shows the research aim and experiment design. C. It explains how gut microbes control brain activities. D. It shows the survey results of teen participants. 30. Why were follow-up tests carried out on mice instead of teenagers? A. Direct tests on teens would probably bring dangers to them. B. Teen dog owners have fewer social troubles in daily life. C. Teenagers are hard to track during long-term observation. D. Mice are more active when communicating with partners. 31. What is the author’s attitude towards the research findings? A. Doubtful. B. Appreciative. C. Objective. D. Uninterested. D A French auctioneer (拍卖师) sold a 200-year-old violin bow made by François Xavier Tourte. Tourte is seen as the greatest maker of violin bows (琴弓). The bow was sold for a record price of €576,000. Tourte was one of the earliest makers to use a special material still valued for top bows: pernambuco, also called brazilwood (巴西红木). A modern orchestra uses many bows made of brazilwood. However, this creates a big problem. Farmland and city expansion have destroyed much of Brazil’s Atlantic forest, the home of this tree. Now only one eighth of the original forest remains. The number of wild trees has fallen by four fifths in under 100 years. For this reason, CITES, an international agreement, has limited trade of brazilwood products since 2007. Brazil’s government wants CITES to put this tree on the list of the most endangered plants, so it can get the strongest protection. A CITES meeting in Samarkand, starting on November 24th, will vote on this plan. The proposal has spooked people who repair Tourte’s old bows and the musicians who use them. Art lovers and nature lovers usually share similar ideas, but brazilwood now puts them on opposite sides. If Brazil’s protection plan passes, it will bring trouble to these people and musicians. Even old Tourte bows will need official papers to be taken out of Brazil. Brazil’s environmental office reports that people still cut wild brazilwood trees illegally to feed the bow-making industry. Still, we may protect both brazilwood and bow-making. About 3 million trees have been planted since the 1970s, with support from bow makers. Some planted trees can be cut after 30 to 40 years, to make new bows when old materials run out. Wild trees need stronger protection. Governments and musicians should better record existing wood supplies and track violin bows. If these steps work, we can save this priceless tree without losing this musical art. 32. Why does the author mention the expensive violin bow in paragraph 1? A. To introduce the valuable material — brazilwood. B. To show the high price of all brazilwood products. C. To praise the great skills of the bow-maker Tourte. D. To prove the popularity of old musical instruments. 33. What does the underlined word “spooked” in Paragraph 3 most likely mean? A. Encouraged. B. Accepted. C. Worried. D. Doubted. 34. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. It is necessary to stop people from making violin bows right now. B. People are searching for cheaper materials to replace brazilwood. C. There are plenty of wild brazilwood trees ready for the industry. D. Effective measures can save brazilwood and keep bow-making alive. 35. What is the best title for the passage? A. Brazilwood’s Great Natural Value B. The Long History of Bow-making C.

When small bad things happen one after another, you may fall into a negative downward spiral. 36 Luckily, scientists have offered several practical ways to break this cycle. 37 When trapped in a bad mood, our brain often predicts that the rest of the day will be just as awful. Stop this kind of negative prediction at once. Simply remind yourself that only this moment is difficult, instead of judging the whole day. This change of thought can stop negative feelings from spreading. Change your environment. Staying in the same room with bad feelings makes it hard to calm down. A change of scenery creates psychological distance between you and your troubles. 38 New sights will draw your mind away from your worries. Move your body. You don’t need tiring hard exercise to reduce stress. 39 Physical movement helps release cortisol, the stress hormone (荷尔蒙). It draws your attention away from troubles and back to your body, easing nervous feelings quickly. Reset your breathing. Breathe slowly and spend more time letting air out than taking it in. Practising for just one minute tells your body the emergency is over. It helps relax the nervous system to help you stay calm. 40 When you are too tired to cheer up, stop trying hard to save the day and get enough sleep. A. Pause and stay present. B. Stay away from bad people. C. You may feel hopeless to turn things around. D. This simple practice works well even for beginners. E. Try stepping out of the room and taking a short walk. F. It is impossible to avoid bad moments in our daily life. G. A short walk or simple stretching is enough to help you. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I used to take part in science competitions on behalf of my school.

I always enjoyed long journeys in my father’s car with my family. However, things went different that time. We were moving to a new town, not for any tourist destination, but to settle down, for my father had a new job there. My mother, sitting on the passenger seat in the front, was talking with my father. She looked excited for the coming new life. But I was down, feeling nervous about starting a new school life. Entering a new school meant adapting to a completely different environment and meeting new classmates and teachers, which I was not good at. On my first day at the new school, I felt lost and out of place. The students already knew each other well, and they chatted happily during breaks. I missed my old friends terribly and wished I could go back to my old school. Feeling lonely, I often spent time alone during breaks and after classes, reading books in the library or drawing pictures in the art room. I missed the good days I had with my old friends and longed for that sense of belonging. As the days went by, I still found it hard to fit in. I was shy and found it difficult to strike up conversations with my classmates. Some of the kids in my class noticed my discomfort and tried to be friendly, but I couldn’t get rid of the feeling of being an outsider. I only had words with my desk mate, Alex, when necessary. Things took a turn for the worse when I knocked off Alex’s water bottle by accident, although I picked up the bottle immediately and apologized to him. He got angry at me and seemed not to forgive me. Soon I found we were avoiding each other. 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。 However, I was assigned to pair up with Alex to design a poster. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Alex proudly introduced that the fantastic picture was drawn by me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
