14-year-old Jory Thomas was just staying with his grandparents on their campground near Yellowstone River. Jory had his lariat (套索) to practice the roping skills he’d been learning for the past year. That’s when he heard cries for help from the nearby river.
“We all heard, ‘Help, help,’” Jory said to KTVQ News. “There were four people floating (漂浮) down the river.”
A boat carrying four people crashed into a bridge, knocking them all into the Yellowstone River. While three of them made it to shore, the fourth was floating quickly downstream. Without thinking too much, Jory emptied his pockets and took his lariat, rushing to help.
“The current was pretty fast then, and he was moving pretty quickly,” said Jory. “The only thing I could focus on was helping him get out of the water because I didn’t want to see anyone go in front of me.”
Jory had been practicing using a lariat to rope a human-like model on his parents’ farm nearly every afternoon when the weather was fair. Ready for action, Jory ran into the shallower (较浅的) part of the river, getting chest-deep into the water. Letting his training do the work, Jory used his 12-foot lariat to rope the man. Luckily, Jory caught the man on his first try. Then Jory slowly pulled him to shore as other helpers arrived.
Sandy, Jory’s grandmother, said, “The whole community is proud of him. We’ve heard a lot of praise, but that’s Jory. His first reaction always is to help other people. He’s always been that way.”
“Jory saved the man’s life. Had Jory not acted, I believe the chances of this man making it to shore were very slim,” said Sweet Grass County Sheriff Alan Ronneberg. “Jory is a lesson for all of us and showed us what is courageous and right.”
4. How did Jory react to the cries for help?
A. He ran away in panic. B. He asked for advice first.
C. He quickly decided to help. D. He checked nearby camps.
5. What played a key role in Jory’s success in saving the man?
A. The fair weather. B. The man’s calmness.
C. His great roping skills. D. His grandparents’ encouragement.
6. What does Sandy probably think of Jory’s heroic action?
A. Unsurprising. B. Irregular. C. Creative. D. Confusing.
7. Why is Alan Ronneberg mentioned in the text?
A. To teach Jory a lesson. B. To speak highly of Jory.
C. To show the man’s thankfulness. D. To stress the importance of safety.
【答案】4. C 5. C 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了14岁少年Jory Thomas在黄石河边,听到有人落水呼救,利用自己常年练习的套索技能,成功救起落水者的故事。祖母和警长都称赞他勇敢善良。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Without thinking too much, Jory emptied his pockets and took his lariat, rushing to help. (Jory没有多想,清空口袋,拿起套索就冲过去帮忙。)”可知,听到呼救后,他迅速决定出手救人。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Jory had been practicing using a lariat to rope a human-like model on his parents’ farm nearly every afternoon when the weather was fair. (每当天气晴好时,Jory几乎每天下午都会在父母的农场用绳索练习拴住一个类人模型。)”以及“Letting his training do the work, Jory used his 12-foot lariat to rope the man. (他依靠训练完成任务,用12英尺长的绳子将那人绑住。)”可知,他熟练的套索技能是救人成功的关键。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Sandy, Jory’s grandmother, said, ‘The whole community is proud of him. We’ve heard a lot of praise, but that’s Jory. His first reaction always is to help other people. He’s always been that way.’ (祖母Sandy说:“整个社区都为他骄傲。但这就是Jory,他第一反应总是帮助别人,他一直都是这样。”)”可知,祖母认为Jory做出这样的英雄举动并不意外。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Jory saved the man’s life...Jory is a lesson for all of us and showed us what is courageous and right. (Jory救了这人一命,他向所有人展示了什么是勇敢与正义。)”可知,警长这段话是高度赞扬Jory。

It’s back-to-school season, which means shopping for new clothing. Unless your teen wears a school uniform, it means balancing your child’s wish for fashion with your family’s budget (预算). But it doesn’t have to be a struggle. Being prepared is the key to calm shopping.
When parents approach back-to-school shopping, they see dollar signs, but teens see something different. “What parents need to understand is that back-to-school shopping isn’t just about function (功能) — it’s about identity (身份),” Caitlin Slavens, a parenting expert, told Parents. “For teens, what they wear says who they are, or at least who they’re trying to be.”
You can balance your budget and your child’s wish list by talking with your teen before you shop. Begin by asking why your child wants something. Is it about comfort? Beauty? Fitting in? “If the answer is ‘everyone has it,’ that’s probably a valid need in the teen years,” explained Slavens.
Once your child’s reason is recognized and accepted, you can work on a plan together. You can try to help your child find a more affordable option for what they want. Discuss whether you can find a cheaper one online or at a second-hand shop. Or can your child help buy what they need by using money they earn themselves?
You can cut down your back-to-school shopping by buying what they need right now like shoes and lighter weight clothing. Put off shopping for a few weeks to buy jeans, sweatshirts, and winter coats. It is likely that the clothing will be on sale in October to make room for holiday wear.
While saying no to a child is never easy for both you and your child, sometimes it is necessary. “Children need to experience challenges, setbacks, and disappointments to be powerful and independent,” Jeannine Jannot, a psychologist, told Parents. “But at the same time, make sure that your child has a say in their clothing choices so that they can still fit in at school.”
8. What is teens’ opinion about back-to-school shopping?
A. It reflects how wealthy a family is. B. It can shape their identity at school.
C. It can take up too much of their time. D. It is more about function than identity.
9. What does the word “valid” in paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A. Affordable. B. Informal. C. Reasonable. D. Strange.
10. Which of the following shows Jeannine Jannot’s view?
A. Children are too young to shop alone.
B. Shopping always puts kids under pressure.
C. Back-to-school shopping needs to be stopped.
D. Children should have some freedom in choosing clothes.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To test assumptions. B. To offer suggestions.
C. To give explanations. D. To compare recommendations.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了开学季给青少年购置衣物时,家长要兼顾家庭预算和孩子的需求,文章给出了提前沟通、寻找平价替代品、错峰购物、适当拒绝同时给予孩子选择权等实用建议。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“What parents need to understand is that back‑to‑school shopping isn’t just about function — it’s about identity. For teens, what they wear says who they are, or at least who they’re trying to be.(家长需要明白,开学购物不只是关乎功能,还关乎身份。对青少年来说,他们的穿着表明了自己是谁,或者至少是他们想要成为什么样的人。)”可知,青少年认为开学买衣服能够塑造他们在学校的个人身份。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段画线词“valid”前面的“Begin by asking why your child wants something. Is it about comfort? Beauty? Fitting in? If the answer is ‘everyone has it’(先问问孩子想要某件东西的原因,是追求舒适、好看,还是想要融入集体?如果答案是‘人人都有’)”可知,专家认为想要和同龄人保持一致,在青少年时期是一种合乎情理的需求。所填词应含有“合理的”之意。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段中的“But at the same time, make sure that your child has a say in their clothing choices so that they can still fit in at school.(但与此同时,要确保孩子在衣物选择上有话语权,这样他们才能在学校融入集体。)”可知,Jeannine Jannot认为孩子们在选择衣物方面应当拥有一定的自由。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“But it doesn’t have to be a struggle. Being prepared is the key to calm shopping.(但这不必是一件难事,做好准备是轻松购物的关键。)”可知,作者先点明开学购衣的难题有解决方向,后文围绕该句展开,依次给出提前沟通、挑选平价商品、错峰购物等多条具体做法。由此可推知,作者写这篇文章是为了给家长提供开学季购衣的实用建议。

When people think of Paris, they often think of the Notre Dame Cathedral, the art, the food, and the romantic and magical River Seine that flows through the heart of the city. The Seine is more than just a river — it is a very important part of Paris itself. According to The Guardian, as heat waves hit Europe, the Seine is taking on another role. It’s cooling buildings across Paris.
In the 1990s, a company, Engie, began developing a district cooling network that now covers 75 miles and serves museums, offices, hospitals, schools, and other public buildings. In 2022, the company Fraîcheur de Paris, which means “the freshness of Paris,” took over the project and began a multiyear expansion (多年扩张).
Cold water from the Seine flows through one pipe (管道) next to a separate pipe carrying warmer water from city buildings. A thin metal wall and a heat exchanger allow heat to pass from the building water into the river water without the fluids (液体) mixing together. The cooled building water then flows back through connected buildings, while the Seine water returns to the river slightly warmer.
“Although the system returns slightly warmer water to the Seine, monitoring has shown only small, controlled temperature changes that remain within environmental limits, with no clear evidence of ecological harm so far,” said Thibauld Voïta, an energy and climate expert and adviser. “It’s a great solution in the era of global warming.”
According to The World, the cooling network is part of Paris’s wider strategy to adapt to climate change and rising temperatures. The city has also decided to plant more trees, upgrade public buildings, and encourage people to reduce their use of energy during the summer.
But Paris is not the only city to use its natural water resources as a cooling system. Toronto uses a system that pulls water from Lake Ontario, and Stockholm uses seawater from the Baltic to lower electricity usage amid heat waves.
12. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The history of the project. B. How the project is expanded.
C. How the cooling system works. D. The features of the Seine water.
13. What is Thibauld Voïta’s attitude towards the system?
A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Uncaring. D. Unclear.
14. What does Paris plan to do according to the text?
A. Turn natural water resources into energy.
B. Apply its strategy in other European cities.
C. Encourage people to stay indoors in summer.
D. Take further steps to adapt to climate change.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Seine Water Is Cooling Down B. The Seine Affects Climate Change
C. A New System Has Gained Popularity D. Paris Uses the Seine to Cool Buildings
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了巴黎借助塞纳河的水资源搭建区域冷却网络,为市内建筑降温的相关情况,包括该冷却系统的运作原理、发展历程、环境影响,以及巴黎应对气候变化的整体策略,同时提及多座城市也采用了类似的天然水资源降温方案。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“Cold water from the Seine flows through one pipe next to a separate pipe carrying warmer water from city buildings. A thin metal wall and a heat exchanger allow heat to pass from the building water into the river water without the fluids mixing together.(来自塞纳河的冷水流经一根管道,旁边另一根管道输送着来自城市建筑的温水。一层薄金属壁和一个热交换器使热量从建筑用水传递到河水中,而两种液体不会相互混合。)”可知,本段具体讲解了冷却系统的运行流程与工作方式。选项C表示“冷却系统如何运作”,能涵盖本段主旨。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“monitoring has shown only small, controlled temperature changes that remain within environmental limits, with no clear evidence of ecological harm so far(监测显示,河水仅有小幅可控的温度变化,保持在环境限值以内,目前尚无明确证据表明会造成生态危害)”以及“It’s a great solution in the era of global warming.(在全球变暖时代,这是一个极佳的解决方案。)”可推知,Thibauld Voïta认可该系统的环保性与实用价值,对其持积极肯定的态度。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“According to The World, the cooling network is part of Paris’s wider strategy to adapt to climate change and rising temperatures. The city has also decided to plant more trees, upgrade public buildings, and encourage people to reduce their use of energy during the summer.(据《世界报》报道,该制冷网络是巴黎应对气候变化与气温上升整体策略的组成部分。这座城市还决定种植更多树木、翻新公共建筑,并鼓励民众在夏季减少能源消耗。)”可知,巴黎将采取更多举措来适应气候变化。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。本文首段先介绍人们对巴黎的传统印象,点明塞纳河不只是一条河流,更是巴黎至关重要的组成部分,在本段结尾引出全文主旨句“According to The Guardian, as heat waves hit Europe, the Seine is taking on another role. It’s cooling buildings across Paris.(据《卫报》报道,热浪席卷欧洲之际,塞纳河承担起了另一项作用:为巴黎全城的建筑降温。)”。后文围绕该主旨展开,依次介绍了冷却系统的运作原理、项目发展历程、环境影响评估,还补充了巴黎应对气候变化的整体策略及其他城市的同类做法。选项D表示“巴黎利用塞纳河为建筑降温”,涵盖本文的主旨,适合作为本文的标题。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How to Practice English Speaking Alone
There are many ways that you can practice your spoken English by yourself! Here, we’ve gathered some of the best ways to work on your pronunciation and the fluency (流利) of your speech, even if no one else is around to hear you.
Speak in front of a mirror.
Pronouncing words correctly has a lot to do with getting your mouth in the right shape to make the necessary sound. By speaking in front of a mirror, you can see what your mouth is doing and correct what’s wrong. ____16____ That can help build your confidence without the stress of talking to a real partner.
Read aloud to yourself.
____17____ There are many words in English that are spelled differently than they sound. Reading aloud is a different kind of speaking practice, in that it helps you better understand how words are written in English as well as how they’re spoken.
____18____
Play a video with a native speaker talking in English. After each sentence, pause (暂停) the video and repeat the sentence aloud. Rewind the video and listen to the native speaker again, and then repeat it again yourself. ____19____ It can take some time to get through even the shortest video like this, but you’ll get a lot of good English practice.
Narrate (叙述) your actions.
As you go about your day, pretend you’re a character in a novel and tell your “reader” about your every move. Don’t worry about getting everything grammatically correct. ____20____
A. Record your voice from time to time.
B. Listen to spoken English and repeat it back.
C. Pay attention to your movements in the mirror.
D. When you get one sentence right, move on to the next.
E. The mirror also makes you feel that you have a partner.
F. This gives you a chance to practice reading and speaking.
G. Instead, just work on expressing yourself and describing actions.
【答案】16. E 17. F 18. B 19. D 20. G
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了四种独自练习英语口语的方法:对着镜子说话、大声朗读、听英语并跟读、叙述自己的行动。
【16题详解】
由上文“By speaking in front of a mirror, you can see what your mouth is doing and correct what’s wrong. (通过在镜子前说话,你可以看到嘴巴的动作并纠正错误。)”以及下文“That can help build your confidence without the stress of talking to a real partner. (这可以在没有与真实对话伙伴交谈的压力下帮助你建立自信。)”可知,本空要说镜子让你感觉有伙伴,E选项“The mirror also makes you feel that you have a partner. (镜子也让你感觉你有一个伙伴。)”能承上启下,符合题意,该选项中的“also”表示递进,承接上文的纠音功能,且该选项中的“have a partner”与下文的“without the stress of talking to a real partner”相呼应,表示镜子模拟对话伙伴的作用。
【17题详解】
由小标题“Read aloud to yourself. (大声朗读给自己听。)”以及下文“There are many words in English that are spelled differently than they sound. Reading aloud is a different kind of speaking practice, in that it helps you better understand how words are written in English as well as how they’re spoken. (英语中有很多单词拼写与发音不同。大声朗读是一种不同的口语练习,因为它帮助你更好地理解英语单词的书写方式以及发音方式。)”可知,本空要说大声朗读让你同时练习阅读和口语,F选项“This gives you a chance to practice reading and speaking. (这给你提供了一个练习阅读和口语的机会。)”能承上启下,符合题意,该选项中的“This”指代上文的“Read aloud”,且该选项中的“reading and speaking”与下文的“how words are written in English as well as how they’re spoken”相呼应,表示朗读的双重练习效果。
【18题详解】
由下文“Play a video with a native speaker talking in English. After each sentence, pause (暂停) the video and repeat the sentence aloud. (播放一个以英语为母语的人说话的视频。每句话后,暂停视频并大声重复句子。)”可知,本段主要讲听英语并跟读,B选项“Listen to spoken English and repeat it back. (听英语口语并跟读。)”能引出下文,符合题意,该选项作为小标题,与上下文的“Speak in front of a mirror”、“Read aloud to yourself”等保持一致的祈使句结构。
【19题详解】
由上文“Rewind the video and listen to the native speaker again, and then repeat it again yourself. (倒回视频再听母语者说一遍,然后自己再重复一遍。)”以及下文“It can take some time to get through even the shortest video like this, but you’ll get a lot of good English practice. (即使是最短的视频,这样过一遍也可能需要一些时间,但你会得到很多很好的英语练习。)”可知,本空要说一句练好了再练下一句,D选项“When you get one sentence right, move on to the next. (当你把一句练对了,就继续下一句。)”能承上启下,符合题意,该选项中的“get one sentence right, move on to the next”与上文的“After each sentence, pause (暂停) the video and repeat”和“Rewind the video and listen to the native speaker again, and then repeat it again yourself.”形成练习步骤的递进,且该选项解释了为什么“it can take some time”——因为需要逐句反复练习。
【20题详解】
由上文“Don’t worry about getting everything grammatically correct. (不要担心每句话在语法上都正确。)”可知,本空要说相反,专注于表达自己和描述行动,G选项“Instead, just work on expressing yourself and describing actions. (相反,只需专注于表达自己和描述行动。)”能承接上文,符合题意,该选项中的“Instead”与上文的“Don’t worry about”形成转折对比,且该选项中的“expressing yourself and describing actions”与小标题“Narrate your actions”和上文“tell your ‘reader’ about your every move”相呼应,表示叙述行动练习的重点在于表达而非语法正确。

47. 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。
On an autumn weekend, 17-year-old Lila volunteered at Living Sky Wildlife Rehabilitation (康复) Center. Her task was to help feed animals that have lost their parents, a job she’d dreamed of since childhood. Among the rescues was a baby fox named Rusty. The workers said Rusty was too weak to survive without careful nursing — he refused to eat and would not allow anyone to touch him.
Lila spent every free moment with Rusty. She softly talked to him while preparing his meals and left a warm blanket (毯子) in his little house. After a week, Rusty finally took a small taste of the food from her hand. Just as their relationship deepened, the center received urgent (紧急的) news: A wildfire was spreading rapidly toward the area. The animals had to be moved to a safe place thirty miles away.
In the chaos (混乱) of packing, Lila was asked to transport Rusty. But halfway there, her car hit a stone, leaving the cage door open. Rusty ran into the thick woods before Lila could stop him. Panicked, she called out his name and looked for him until it got dark, but there was no sign of Rusty.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Sad and sorry, Lila went back to tell the workers what had happened. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The search team guided Lila to approach (接近) Rusty with food while preparing medical supplies. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Sad and sorry, Lila went back to tell the workers what had happened. The workers comforted Lila, and said, “We need to organize a search team quickly. You should lead — you know Rusty best.” Within minutes, a team was formed. Armed with flashlights and Rusty’s favorite food, they followed Lila back into the woods. The woods were quiet, and smoke from the distant fire hung in the air. Suddenly, Lila heard a faint cry of pain. Following the sound, they found Rusty — trapped in a hunter’s trap, his leg bleeding. When the team drew closer, Rusty struggled desperately in the trap, his eyes wide with renewed panic. Everyone paused, understanding.
The search team guided Lila to approach (接近) Rusty with food while preparing medical supplies. Moving slowly, Lila spoke in the soft, familiar tones of their feeding times. Rusty’s frantic struggles gradually eased as her voice reached him. When she offered the food, he sniffed her hand and took it. The team waited in respectful silence — this was her moment with him. With Rusty calmed by her presence, Lila freed his leg from the trap and treated the wound. Then, carefully, she carried him to the vehicle with the team. As they began the night drive to safety, the distant fire still glowed on the horizon. Yet against that backdrop of danger, Lila felt in her arms the small, steady heartbeat of Rusty who now trusted her completely.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了17岁的Lila在野生动物康复中心做志愿者,悉心照料拒食且怕生的幼狐Rusty,二者渐渐建立起感情。一场野火逼近,中心需转移动物,Lila奉命运送Rusty,途中车子撞到石头,笼门打开,Rusty跑进密林,Lila寻找至天黑也毫无踪迹。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段句首内容“Lila又伤心又愧疚,回去告诉了工作人员所发生的事。”可知,第一段可以描写Lila告知工人情况后,工人们迅速组织搜救队,Lila带领搜救队进入树林,接着描述在树林中寻找的过程以及发现Rusty被困受伤且惊恐挣扎的场景。
②由第二段句首内容“搜寻队引导Lila拿着食物靠近Rusty,同时准备医疗用品。”可知,第二段可以描写Lila在搜救队指导下,用食物接近并安抚Rusty,然后为Rusty解开陷阱、处理伤口,最后带着Rusty在团队协助下前往安全地,在途中Lila感受到Rusty对自己的信任,升华文章主旨:信任与爱能战胜危险与恐惧。
2.续写线索:Lila告知工作人员——Lila带领搜救队进入树林——发现Rusty——Lila用食物接近Rusty——Lila安抚Rusty——Lila解开陷阱、处理伤口——Lila感受到Rusty的信任
3.词汇激活

14-year-old Jory Thomas was just staying with his grandparents on their campground near Yellowstone River. Jory had his lariat (套索) to practice the roping skills he’d been learning for the past year. That’s when he heard cries for help from the nearby river.
“We all heard, ‘Help, help,’” Jory said to KTVQ News. “There were four people floating (漂浮) down the river.”
A boat carrying four people crashed into a bridge, knocking them all into the Yellowstone River. While three of them made it to shore, the fourth was floating quickly downstream. Without thinking too much, Jory emptied his pockets and took his lariat, rushing to help.
“The current was pretty fast then, and he was moving pretty quickly,” said Jory. “The only thing I could focus on was helping him get out of the water because I didn’t want to see anyone go in front of me.”
Jory had been practicing using a lariat to rope a human-like model on his parents’ farm nearly every afternoon when the weather was fair. Ready for action, Jory ran into the shallower (较浅的) part of the river, getting chest-deep into the water. Letting his training do the work, Jory used his 12-foot lariat to rope the man. Luckily, Jory caught the man on his first try. Then Jory slowly pulled him to shore as other helpers arrived.
Sandy, Jory’s grandmother, said, “The whole community is proud of him. We’ve heard a lot of praise, but that’s Jory. His first reaction always is to help other people. He’s always been that way.”
“Jory saved the man’s life. Had Jory not acted, I believe the chances of this man making it to shore were very slim,” said Sweet Grass County Sheriff Alan Ronneberg. “Jory is a lesson for all of us and showed us what is courageous and right.”
4. How did Jory react to the cries for help?
A. He ran away in panic. B. He asked for advice first.
C. He quickly decided to help. D. He checked nearby camps.
5. What played a key role in Jory’s success in saving the man?
A. The fair weather. B. The man’s calmness.
C. His great roping skills. D. His grandparents’ encouragement.
6. What does Sandy probably think of Jory’s heroic action?
A. Unsurprising. B. Irregular. C. Creative. D. Confusing.
7. Why is Alan Ronneberg mentioned in the text?
A. To teach Jory a lesson. B. To speak highly of Jory.
C. To show the man’s thankfulness. D. To stress the importance of safety.

It’s back-to-school season, which means shopping for new clothing. Unless your teen wears a school uniform, it means balancing your child’s wish for fashion with your family’s budget (预算). But it doesn’t have to be a struggle. Being prepared is the key to calm shopping.
When parents approach back-to-school shopping, they see dollar signs, but teens see something different. “What parents need to understand is that back-to-school shopping isn’t just about function (功能) — it’s about identity (身份),” Caitlin Slavens, a parenting expert, told Parents. “For teens, what they wear says who they are, or at least who they’re trying to be.”
You can balance your budget and your child’s wish list by talking with your teen before you shop. Begin by asking why your child wants something. Is it about comfort? Beauty? Fitting in? “If the answer is ‘everyone has it,’ that’s probably a valid need in the teen years,” explained Slavens.
Once your child’s reason is recognized and accepted, you can work on a plan together. You can try to help your child find a more affordable option for what they want. Discuss whether you can find a cheaper one online or at a second-hand shop. Or can your child help buy what they need by using money they earn themselves?
You can cut down your back-to-school shopping by buying what they need right now like shoes and lighter weight clothing. Put off shopping for a few weeks to buy jeans, sweatshirts, and winter coats. It is likely that the clothing will be on sale in October to make room for holiday wear.
While saying no to a child is never easy for both you and your child, sometimes it is necessary. “Children need to experience challenges, setbacks, and disappointments to be powerful and independent,” Jeannine Jannot, a psychologist, told Parents. “But at the same time, make sure that your child has a say in their clothing choices so that they can still fit in at school.”
8. What is teens’ opinion about back-to-school shopping?
A. It reflects how wealthy a family is. B. It can shape their identity at school.
C. It can take up too much of their time. D. It is more about function than identity.
9. What does the word “valid” in paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A. Affordable. B. Informal. C. Reasonable. D. Strange.
10. Which of the following shows Jeannine Jannot’s view?
A. Children are too young to shop alone.
B. Shopping always puts kids under pressure.
C. Back-to-school shopping needs to be stopped.
D. Children should have some freedom in choosing clothes.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To test assumptions. B. To offer suggestions.
C. To give explanations. D. To compare recommendations.

When people think of Paris, they often think of the Notre Dame Cathedral, the art, the food, and the romantic and magical River Seine that flows through the heart of the city. The Seine is more than just a river — it is a very important part of Paris itself. According to The Guardian, as heat waves hit Europe, the Seine is taking on another role. It’s cooling buildings across Paris.
In the 1990s, a company, Engie, began developing a district cooling network that now covers 75 miles and serves museums, offices, hospitals, schools, and other public buildings. In 2022, the company Fraîcheur de Paris, which means “the freshness of Paris,” took over the project and began a multiyear expansion (多年扩张).
Cold water from the Seine flows through one pipe (管道) next to a separate pipe carrying warmer water from city buildings. A thin metal wall and a heat exchanger allow heat to pass from the building water into the river water without the fluids (液体) mixing together. The cooled building water then flows back through connected buildings, while the Seine water returns to the river slightly warmer.
“Although the system returns slightly warmer water to the Seine, monitoring has shown only small, controlled temperature changes that remain within environmental limits, with no clear evidence of ecological harm so far,” said Thibauld Voïta, an energy and climate expert and adviser. “It’s a great solution in the era of global warming.”
According to The World, the cooling network is part of Paris’s wider strategy to adapt to climate change and rising temperatures. The city has also decided to plant more trees, upgrade public buildings, and encourage people to reduce their use of energy during the summer.
But Paris is not the only city to use its natural water resources as a cooling system. Toronto uses a system that pulls water from Lake Ontario, and Stockholm uses seawater from the Baltic to lower electricity usage amid heat waves.
12. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The history of the project. B. How the project is expanded.
C. How the cooling system works. D. The features of the Seine water.
13. What is Thibauld Voïta’s attitude towards the system?
A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Uncaring. D. Unclear.
14. What does Paris plan to do according to the text?
A. Turn natural water resources into energy.
B. Apply its strategy in other European cities.
C. Encourage people to stay indoors in summer.
D. Take further steps to adapt to climate change.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Seine Water Is Cooling Down B. The Seine Affects Climate Change
C. A New System Has Gained Popularity D. Paris Uses the Seine to Cool Buildings

47. 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。
On an autumn weekend, 17-year-old Lila volunteered at Living Sky Wildlife Rehabilitation (康复) Center. Her task was to help feed animals that have lost their parents, a job she’d dreamed of since childhood. Among the rescues was a baby fox named Rusty. The workers said Rusty was too weak to survive without careful nursing — he refused to eat and would not allow anyone to touch him.
Lila spent every free moment with Rusty. She softly talked to him while preparing his meals and left a warm blanket (毯子) in his little house. After a week, Rusty finally took a small taste of the food from her hand. Just as their relationship deepened, the center received urgent (紧急的) news: A wildfire was spreading rapidly toward the area. The animals had to be moved to a safe place thirty miles away.
In the chaos (混乱) of packing, Lila was asked to transport Rusty. But halfway there, her car hit a stone, leaving the cage door open. Rusty ran into the thick woods before Lila could stop him. Panicked, she called out his name and looked for him until it got dark, but there was no sign of Rusty.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Sad and sorry, Lila went back to tell the workers what had happened. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The search team guided Lila to approach (接近) Rusty with food while preparing medical supplies. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
