At the start of each week, students work in small groups to solve challenging problems and present creative solutions. Teachers guide students in small classes of no more than 12 students to ensure personalised attention. This approach helps students build confidence in using English both inside and outside the classroom. In the afternoons, students take one elective course for six hours a week. Options include news reporting, presentation skills, Mini Model UN, and creative writing. Students interested in sports or specialised skills can take extra electives for an additional fee, including professional coaching in golf, tennis and football, horse riding, and exam preparation. These electives cater to students’ diverse interests and allow them to explore new areas of learning. Students enjoy two full-day excursions each week, plus a shorter Sunday outing. Mid-week excursions are linked to the week’s theme, such as visiting an environmental activity centre during Environment Week or attending a West End show and a drama workshop during Theatre Week. Saturday excursions are more relaxed, offering fun activities and time for shopping. Sunday outings are shorter but still exciting, often including visits to local attractions such as museums or historical sites. These trips enable students to explore British culture and history.

It had been years since I last played. The cheerful music that had once filled the house had faded, leaving only silence. Somewhere deep in my memory was a tune I used to play every evening, a tune that brought my family together. But now it seemed to have slipped away. One rainy afternoon, as the rain tapped against the windows, I felt the urge to sit at the piano again. My fingers paused above the keys, as if unsure where to begin. Slowly, I pressed one key, then another, trying to recall the tune. The notes sounded unfamiliar and disconnected, like pieces of a puzzle that didn’t fit together. I felt disappointed, but I couldn’t bring myself to stop. Something inside me told me to keep going. Day after day, I returned to the piano, playing random notes and experimenting with simple patterns. Then one evening, as the sun sank and the room turned amber, something clicked. My fingers found a sequence of notes that felt right. It was the tune — the one I thought I had forgotten forever. The room seemed to brighten as the music flowed, and the silence lifted. As I played, memories came rushing back — my mother softly singing along, my father tapping his fingers on the table, my younger sister dancing around the room to the rhythm. I could almost hear their laughter again and see their smiling faces. It wasn’t just a tune anymore. It was them — a reminder of the love and happiness we once shared. Tears welled up in my eyes as I realized the tune had never truly been lost. It had been waiting for me, hidden deep in my heart. From that moment on, playing the piano became a source of comfort. Every time I played, I felt closer to my family, even though we lived far apart. I started creating new tunes, inspired by the one I had rediscovered. Music became my way of holding onto those precious memories, a way to stay close to the people I loved. It was then that I understood the tune had never really left me. It was still there, waiting. 41. What does the piano represent to the author in the first paragraph? A. A reminder of forgotten dreams. B. A link to happy family memories. C. A symbol of personal growth. D. A source of creative inspiration. 42. What made the author hesitant when he sat at the piano again? A. The author was unsure how to start playing again. B. The piano was too old and difficult to play. C. The author had no memory of the previous tune. D. The piano sounded unpleasant to the author. 43. How did the author eventually rediscover the lost tune? A. By listening to the sound of rain for inspiration. B. By recalling memories of family gatherings. C. By practicing regularly and trying different notes. D. By seeking advice from a music teacher. 44. What did the author come to understand from the tune? A. New tunes are better than old ones. B. The author should move closer to family. C. Playing the piano is easy after many years. D. Memories of loved ones can live on within us. 45. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. The Piano in the Corner B. The Tune I Rediscovered C. A Rainy Afternoon at the Piano D. A Family Story 【答案】41. B 42. A 43. C 44. D 45. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述作者重拾搁置多年的钢琴，反复练习找回遗忘的曲子，这首曲子承载着珍贵的家庭回忆。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Somewhere deep in my memory was a tune I used to play every evening, a tune that brought my family together. (在我记忆深处，有一首我曾经每晚弹奏的曲子，这首曲子让一家人相聚在一起)”可知，钢琴和那首曲子承载着作者一家人团聚的幸福回忆，是连接美好家庭记忆的纽带。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“My fingers paused above the keys, as if unsure where to begin. (我的手指在琴键上方停住，仿佛不知道该从哪里开始)”可知，作者坐在钢琴前犹豫是因为多年未弹，不知道该如何起手弹奏。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Day after day, I returned to the piano, playing random notes and experimenting with simple patterns. (日复一日，我回到钢琴前，弹奏随意的音符，尝试简单的旋律组合)”可知，作者是通过每天不断地练习和尝试不同的音符组合，最终找回了那首遗忘的曲子。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“It wasn’t just a tune anymore. It was them — a reminder of the love and happiness we once shared. Tears welled up in my eyes as I realized the tune had never truly been lost. It had been waiting for me, hidden deep in my heart. (它不再仅仅是一首曲子。它是他们——提醒着我，我们曾经共同拥有过爱与欢乐。当我意识到这首曲子从未真正丢失时，泪水涌上了我的眼眶。它一直在等我，深藏在我的心里)”以及第五段“Every time I played, I felt closer to my family, even though we lived far apart. I started creating new tunes, inspired by the one I had rediscovered. Music became my way of holding onto those precious memories, a way to stay close to the people I loved. (每次我弹奏，我都觉得和家人更亲近了，尽管我们住得很远。我开始创作新的曲调，灵感来自我重新发现的曲调。音乐成了我留住那些珍贵回忆的方式，一种与我所爱的人保持亲密关系的方式)”可知，这首曲子代表了作者对家人的爱与回忆，作者从中感悟到，对亲人的珍贵记忆会一直深藏在我们的内心里，从未真正离去。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了作者多年后重新弹奏钢琴，经过不断尝试找回了曾经那首凝聚着家庭欢乐的曲子，并从中获得了情感慰藉，感悟到亲情与记忆永存心底。全文的线索和核心都围绕寻找并重新发现这首曲子展开，因此“我重新发现的曲子”最能概括文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。 C Imagine coming home after a tiring day to find a dog waiting happily for you or a cat quietly sitting beside you. For many people, pets are more than just animals — they are trusted companions that bring joy to everyday life. Studies show that having pets can help reduce stress, improve mental health, and even encourage people to stay active. However, the joy of having a pet comes with challenges: pets require time, money, and care. This raises an important question: Are pets truly our best friends, or does owning a pet add to the pressures of daily life? Pets bring a great deal of joy and comfort to their owners. The excitement a dog shows when it sees its owner, or the calm presence of a cat, can help people feel less lonely. For children, having a pet can teach them responsibility and how to care for others. For older adults, pets can provide companionship and make them feel less lonely. Beyond emotional benefits, dogs and other active pets encourage their owners to go outside and exercise, which is good for physical health. Even small animals such as fish or birds can make a home feel more lively and interesting. In many ways, pets make life richer and more enjoyable. That said, owning pets is not always easy. The cost of food, medical care, and pet supplies can be a financial burden for some families. Caring for pets also takes time — feeding, cleaning, and playing with them are daily tasks that cannot be skipped. For people who are already busy with work or studies, this can be stressful. Pets can also cause problems at times. A barking dog might upset the neighbors, or a playful cat might damage furniture. Some people may even regret getting a pet when they realize they cannot meet its needs. In some cases, pets are abandoned, which raises concerns about whether people fully understand the responsibilities of owning a pet. Whether pets are a joy or a burden depends on each owner’s situation. For those who are ready to care for them, pets can bring great happiness and companionship. For others, the challenges may outweigh the rewards. Perhaps the key is to think carefully before bringing a pet into your life. Pets are not mere toys or hobbies — they are living beings that depend entirely on their owners. Respect and care should always be at the heart of this relationship. 46. Why does the author begin by describing coming home to a pet? A. To highlight the emotional comfort pets can provide. B. To emphasize the financial burden of caring for pets. C. To compare the care needs of dogs and cats. D. To show how pets can help people stay active. 47. What is one main advantage of having pets according to the passage? A. Pets can teach people how to manage their finances. B. Pets encourage owners to develop healthier habits. C. Pets can take the place of human friends and family. D. Pets reduce people’s need for social interaction with others. 48. Why might some people regret owning pets? A. Pets often require more food than expected. B. Pets may need to see a doctor for animals every day. C. Pets may become aggressive and harm their owners. D. Pets demand care and attention that some owners cannot provide. 49. How is the passage mainly organized? A. Benefits — challenges — conclusion. B. Problem — solution — example. C. Cause — effect — advice. D. Comparison — contrast — summary. 50. What is the author’s main message to readers? A. Pets can make homes lively. B. Pets can help children grow. C. Pets need responsible care. D. Pets can reduce stress. 【答案】46. A 47. B 48. D 49. A 50. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讨论了养宠物的利与弊，并呼吁人们在养宠物前要充分考虑责任。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Imagine coming home after a tiring day to find a dog waiting happily for you or a cat quietly sitting beside you. For many people, pets are more than just animals — they are trusted companions that bring joy to everyday life. (想象一下，劳累了一天回到家，发现一只狗高兴地等着你，或者一只猫静静地坐在你旁边。对许多人来说，宠物不仅仅是动物——它们是值得信赖的伙伴，给日常生活带来快乐。)”可知，作者开篇描述回家见到宠物的场景是为了突出宠物能提供的情感安慰。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Beyond emotional benefits, dogs and other active pets encourage their owners to go outside and exercise, which is good for physical health. (除了情感上的好处，狗和其他活跃的宠物还鼓励它们的主人外出锻炼，这对身体健康有益。)”可知，养宠物的一个主要好处是宠物鼓励主人养成更健康的习惯。  【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Some people may even regret getting a pet when they realize they cannot meet its needs. (有些人甚至会在意识到无法满足宠物的需求时后悔养了宠物。)”可知，有些人后悔养宠物是因为宠物需要的照顾和关注是他们无法提供的。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Pets bring a great deal of joy and comfort to their owners. (宠物能给它们的主人带来极大的快乐与慰藉。)”可知，本段主要讲述宠物带来的好处；第三段“That said, owning pets is not always easy. (话虽如此，养宠物并非总是一件轻松的事。)”可知，本段主要讲述养宠物的挑战；第四段“Whether pets are a joy or a burden depends on each owner’s situation. (宠物是带来欢乐还是成为负担，取决于每位饲主的自身情况。)”可知，本段得出结论。因此，本文的组织结构是“好处—挑战—结论”。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Pets are not mere toys or hobbies — they are living beings that depend entirely on their owners. Respect and care should always be at the heart of this relationship. (宠物不仅仅是玩具或爱好——它们是完全依赖主人的生命。尊重和关爱应该始终是这段关系的核心。)”可知，作者向读者传达的主要信息是宠物需要负责任的照顾。 第II卷 第四部分：写作（共两节；满分30分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下列短文并回答问题。 When Alex first moved to the city, he felt like a tiny fish in a vast ocean. The crowded streets, towering buildings, and the fast pace of life made him feel disoriented and out of place. He didn’t know where to go or how to find his way through the unfamiliar streets. The city was so big and confusing that he often felt lost, unsure of how to reach his destination. Everything was unfamiliar — the layout was hard to figure out, the people seemed distant, and the constant noise made it hard to focus. Back in his small hometown, everyone knew each other, and life was simple. There, he always knew where he was going and what he was doing. But here, in the bustling city, he felt like just another face in the crowd, unsure of where he belonged. One evening, after a stressful day at work, Alex noticed an elderly man struggling to carry several bags of groceries. Though tired, Alex walked over and offered to help. The man, Mr. Thompson, smiled warmly and accepted his help. As they walked, Mr. Thompson shared stories about his fifty years in the city, describing both its beauty and its challenges. Alex was drawn to the man’s wisdom. “The city is like a book,” Mr. Thompson said. “At first, it’s overwhelming — so big and busy that it’s hard to know where to start. But if you take the time to read it, you’ll find amazing stories.” Encouraged by their conversation, Alex began visiting Mr. Thompson regularly. At first, he just helped with groceries, but soon their visits grew into a friendship. One day, Alex found a note on Mr. Thompson’s door saying that he was in the hospital. Alex hurried to visit him. Though weak, Mr. Thompson smiled and said, “You’ve made this city feel like home again.” From that day on, Alex saw the city differently — the noise didn’t bother him, strangers became potential friends, and the streets held untold stories waiting to be discovered. 51. What does the underlined word “disoriented” mean in the first paragraph? (one word) _____________________________________________________________ 52. What was life like in Alex’s hometown? (no more than 10 words) _____________________________________________________________ 53. What did Mr. Thompson say about the city? (no more than 10 words) _____________________________________________________________ 54. How did Alex’s friendship with Mr. Thompson change his view of the city? (no more than 15 words) _____________________________________________________________ 55. What lessons can we learn from Alex’s experience of adapting to the city? (no more than 20 words) _____________________________________________________________ 【答案】51. Confused./Lost. 52. Life was simple and everyone knew each other. 53. He said the city was like a book. Or: He said it was like a book full of stories. 54. It made him see the city as home and strangers as potential friends. 55. (Open) Meaningful relationships help us adapt to new environments. Or: Alex’s experience teaches us to face unfamiliar situations with patience and curiosity, uncovering opportunities for growth and connection. Or: Kindness and friendship can help us adapt to a new place and make it feel like home. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了Alex初到城市时感到迷茫孤独，在帮助老人Mr. Thompson并与其建立友谊后，逐渐改变了对城市的看法，将陌生之地视为家的故事。 【51题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据第一段中“The crowded streets, towering buildings, and the fast pace of life made him feel disoriented and out of place. (拥挤的街道、高耸的建筑和快节奏的生活让他感到迷茫和不自在。)”可知，“disoriented”与“out of place”并列，描述Alex初到城市时不知所措、找不到方向的状态。由此可推知该词意为“困惑的”或者“迷失的”。 【52题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段中“Back in his small hometown, everyone knew each other, and life was simple. (回到他的小家乡，大家都互相认识，生活也很简单。)”可知，Alex家乡的生活简单，人们彼此相识。 【53题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段中““The city is like a book,” Mr. Thompson said. “At first, it’s overwhelming — so big and busy that it’s hard to know where to start. But if you take the time to read it, you’ll find amazing stories.” (“这座城市就像一本书，”Thompson先生说。“起初，它让人不知所措——那么大、那么繁忙，以至于很难知道从哪里开始。但如果你花时间去读它，你会发现惊人的故事。”)”可知，Thompson先生把城市比作一本书，里面充满故事。 【54题详解】 考查细节理解。根据最后一段中“Though weak, Mr. Thompson smiled and said, “You’ve made this city feel like home again.” From that day on, Alex saw the city differently — the noise didn’t bother him, strangers became potential friends, and the streets held untold stories waiting to be discovered. (尽管虚弱，Thompson先生还是笑着说：“你让这座城市再次有了家的感觉。”从那天起，Alex以不同的方式看待这座城市——噪音不再困扰他，陌生人变成了潜在的朋友，街道上藏着等待被发现的不为人知的故事。)”可知，与Thompson先生的友谊让Alex把城市看作自己的家，并把陌生人视为潜在的朋友。 【55题详解】 考查开放性题目。此题要求从Alex适应城市的经历中总结我们能学到什么道理，不超过20词。结合文章内容，Alex通过帮助他人、建立友谊而逐渐适应了新环境，由此可得出：“有意义的人际关系有助于我们适应新环境”，或者“亚历克斯的经历教会我们以耐心和好奇心面对不熟悉的情况，发现成长和联系的机会。”，或者“善良和友谊可以帮助我们适应一个新的地方，让它有家的感觉。”。 第二节：书面表达（满分20分） 56. 假设你是晨光中学的学生李津。你的美国朋友Chris对中国的绿色生活方式非常感兴趣，最近在邮件中向你了解中国年轻人践行绿色生活的情况。请根据以下提示，用英语给他写一封回信： （1）肯定中国年轻人为践行绿色生活所作的努力； （2）介绍你在日常生活中践行绿色生活的具体做法； （3）邀请他来中国体验绿色生活方式。 注意： （1）词数不少于100； （2）可适当加入细节，使内容充实、行文连贯； （3）开头已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Chris, I’m so glad to hear from you and to learn that you’re interested in China’s green lifestyle. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Jin 【答案】Dear Chris, I’m so glad to hear from you and to learn that you’re interested in China’s green lifestyle.

At the start of each week, students work in small groups to solve challenging problems and present creative solutions. Teachers guide students in small classes of no more than 12 students to ensure personalised attention. This approach helps students build confidence in using English both inside and outside the classroom. In the afternoons, students take one elective course for six hours a week. Options include news reporting, presentation skills, Mini Model UN, and creative writing. Students interested in sports or specialised skills can take extra electives for an additional fee, including professional coaching in golf, tennis and football, horse riding, and exam preparation. These electives cater to students’ diverse interests and allow them to explore new areas of learning. Students enjoy two full-day excursions each week, plus a shorter Sunday outing. Mid-week excursions are linked to the week’s theme, such as visiting an environmental activity centre during Environment Week or attending a West End show and a drama workshop during Theatre Week. Saturday excursions are more relaxed, offering fun activities and time for shopping. Sunday outings are shorter but still exciting, often including visits to local attractions such as museums or historical sites. These trips enable students to explore British culture and history. This programme offers students a unique opportunity to improve their English and develop essential skills while enjoying exciting activities and excursions. It is therefore an excellent choice for those seeking a balance between academic learning and fun over the summer. 36. What is the programme mainly intended to do? A. To help students get better at English and learn new skills. B. To help students learn about British life. C. To encourage students to take part in sports and fun activities. D.

The cheerful music that had once filled the house had faded, leaving only silence. Somewhere deep in my memory was a tune I used to play every evening, a tune that brought my family together. But now it seemed to have slipped away. One rainy afternoon, as the rain tapped against the windows, I felt the urge to sit at the piano again. My fingers paused above the keys, as if unsure where to begin. Slowly, I pressed one key, then another, trying to recall the tune. The notes sounded unfamiliar and disconnected, like pieces of a puzzle that didn’t fit together. I felt disappointed, but I couldn’t bring myself to stop. Something inside me told me to keep going. Day after day, I returned to the piano, playing random notes and experimenting with simple patterns. Then one evening, as the sun sank and the room turned amber, something clicked. My fingers found a sequence of notes that felt right. It was the tune — the one I thought I had forgotten forever. The room seemed to brighten as the music flowed, and the silence lifted. As I played, memories came rushing back — my mother softly singing along, my father tapping his fingers on the table, my younger sister dancing around the room to the rhythm. I could almost hear their laughter again and see their smiling faces. It wasn’t just a tune anymore. It was them — a reminder of the love and happiness we once shared. Tears welled up in my eyes as I realized the tune had never truly been lost. It had been waiting for me, hidden deep in my heart. From that moment on, playing the piano became a source of comfort. Every time I played, I felt closer to my family, even though we lived far apart. I started creating new tunes, inspired by the one I had rediscovered. Music became my way of holding onto those precious memories, a way to stay close to the people I loved. It was then that I understood the tune had never really left me. It was still there, waiting. 41. What does the piano represent to the author in the first paragraph? A. A reminder of forgotten dreams. B. A link to happy family memories. C. A symbol of personal growth. D. A source of creative inspiration. 42. What made the author hesitant when he sat at the piano again? A. The author was unsure how to start playing again. B. The piano was too old and difficult to play. C. The author had no memory of the previous tune. D. The piano sounded unpleasant to the author. 43. How did the author eventually rediscover the lost tune? A. By listening to the sound of rain for inspiration. B. By recalling memories of family gatherings. C. By practicing regularly and trying different notes. D. By seeking advice from a music teacher. 44. What did the author come to understand from the tune? A. New tunes are better than old ones. B. The author should move closer to family. C. Playing the piano is easy after many years. D. Memories of loved ones can live on within us. 45. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. The Piano in the Corner B. The Tune I Rediscovered C. A Rainy Afternoon at the Piano D. A Family Story C Imagine coming home after a tiring day to find a dog waiting happily for you or a cat quietly sitting beside you. For many people, pets are more than just animals — they are trusted companions that bring joy to everyday life. Studies show that having pets can help reduce stress, improve mental health, and even encourage people to stay active. However, the joy of having a pet comes with challenges: pets require time, money, and care. This raises an important question: Are pets truly our best friends, or does owning a pet add to the pressures of daily life? Pets bring a great deal of joy and comfort to their owners. The excitement a dog shows when it sees its owner, or the calm presence of a cat, can help people feel less lonely. For children, having a pet can teach them responsibility and how to care for others. For older adults, pets can provide companionship and make them feel less lonely. Beyond emotional benefits, dogs and other active pets encourage their owners to go outside and exercise, which is good for physical health. Even small animals such as fish or birds can make a home feel more lively and interesting. In many ways, pets make life richer and more enjoyable. That said, owning pets is not always easy. The cost of food, medical care, and pet supplies can be a financial burden for some families. Caring for pets also takes time — feeding, cleaning, and playing with them are daily tasks that cannot be skipped. For people who are already busy with work or studies, this can be stressful. Pets can also cause problems at times. A barking dog might upset the neighbors, or a playful cat might damage furniture. Some people may even regret getting a pet when they realize they cannot meet its needs. In some cases, pets are abandoned, which raises concerns about whether people fully understand the responsibilities of owning a pet. Whether pets are a joy or a burden depends on each owner’s situation. For those who are ready to care for them, pets can bring great happiness and companionship. For others, the challenges may outweigh the rewards. Perhaps the key is to think carefully before bringing a pet into your life. Pets are not mere toys or hobbies — they are living beings that depend entirely on their owners. Respect and care should always be at the heart of this relationship. 46. Why does the author begin by describing coming home to a pet? A. To highlight the emotional comfort pets can provide. B. To emphasize the financial burden of caring for pets. C.

The crowded streets, towering buildings, and the fast pace of life made him feel disoriented and out of place. He didn’t know where to go or how to find his way through the unfamiliar streets. The city was so big and confusing that he often felt lost, unsure of how to reach his destination. Everything was unfamiliar — the layout was hard to figure out, the people seemed distant, and the constant noise made it hard to focus. Back in his small hometown, everyone knew each other, and life was simple. There, he always knew where he was going and what he was doing. But here, in the bustling city, he felt like just another face in the crowd, unsure of where he belonged. One evening, after a stressful day at work, Alex noticed an elderly man struggling to carry several bags of groceries. Though tired, Alex walked over and offered to help. The man, Mr. Thompson, smiled warmly and accepted his help. As they walked, Mr. Thompson shared stories about his fifty years in the city, describing both its beauty and its challenges. Alex was drawn to the man’s wisdom. “The city is like a book,” Mr. Thompson said. “At first, it’s overwhelming — so big and busy that it’s hard to know where to start. But if you take the time to read it, you’ll find amazing stories.” Encouraged by their conversation, Alex began visiting Mr. Thompson regularly. At first, he just helped with groceries, but soon their visits grew into a friendship. One day, Alex found a note on Mr. Thompson’s door saying that he was in the hospital. Alex hurried to visit him. Though weak, Mr. Thompson smiled and said, “You’ve made this city feel like home again.” From that day on, Alex saw the city differently — the noise didn’t bother him, strangers became potential friends, and the streets held untold stories waiting to be discovered. 51.
