Courage is a huge theme in my life, a quality I constantly seek, appreciate, and analyze. The root of “courage” is “cor,” the Latin word for heart. In the beginning, courage meant “to speak one’s mind by telling all one’s heart.” While courage is often associated with heroism nowadays, I believe true courage lies in being open and honest about who we are and how we feel.
I recently witnessed an example of true courage. During a mountain-climbing trip with my 15-year-old daughter and some college students, I noticed her struggling to keep up with the group. Despite my suggestions to rest, she persisted until she couldn’t breathe properly.
Panicked, I called out to the front for help, but there was no response, and we had no cellphone signal. Fortunately, two students just came back to check out on us. They offered assistance and calmed us down. As we continued at a slower pace, they shared their own experiences, from starting out as beginners like my daughter to becoming consistently among the first to reach the peak.
“You know,” one of them said, looking at my daughter, “I was just like you when I started.
But with practice and proper pace, you’ll get there too.”
“Yeah, don’t let your lack of experience stop you,” the other added. “It’s okay to admit when you’re struggling or not feeling alright. In fact, it’s important to speak up and ask for help when you need it. That’s how we improve and grow.”
Reaching the mountain top was a huge relief for both my daughter and me. However, the two students addressed the celebrating group directly, emphasizing the importance of staying together in tough environments. Their words led the group to apologize to us for overlooking our struggle.
I was totally amazed at their bravery, and my daughter learned that it’s okay to be the least experienced in a group. Courage, I’ve come to realize, has a ripple effect. Each time we choose courage, we inspire those around us to be a little braver and make the world a little better.
4. Why does the author mention the original meaning of courage
A. To question the common belief of courage.
B. To argue for the true nature of courage.
C. To show the changing meaning of courage.
D. To compare different interpretations of courage.
5. What did the two students suggest the daughter do
A. Keep to a suitable pace. B. Seek help whenever possible.
C. Challenge her own limits. D. Stick with experienced climbers.
6. Which action in the mountain-climbing story is an example of true courage
A. The mother asked the girl to rest.
B. The girl tried hard not to fall behind.
C. The two students pointed out the group’s fault.
D. The group celebrated the reach of the mountain top.
7. What does the author intend to tell us
A. Kindness connects us all. B. Being a beginner takes courage.
C. We don’t have to be a hero to be brave. D. With courage, everyone can be perfect.
C
Cordero is the farm manager at Ollin Farms, not far from Boulder, Colorado. The locally grown vegetables on the farm aren’t just pretty. “We play an important role in public health nutrition programs,” says Cordero’s dad, Mark Guttridge, who started this farm with his wife, Kena, 17 years ago.
At a meeting with about a dozen local farmers, two state representatives, and the Colorado officials of agriculture, Guttridge explains how Boulder county has made creative investments in his farm that could be spread to the state or even national level. Before the meeting, Guttridge shows them one of those investments.
A dozen sheep, which Guttridge raises for wool, feed on root vegetables like radishes that have been leftover for them. “So these guys are out fertilizing the vegetable field,” Guttridge laughs. “They’ll be out here a couple more weeks, and then we’ll get our next summer vegetables planted right there.” Around the field is a special moveable type of fencing that Ollin Farms bought using financial aid from the Boulder County Sustainability Office. It allows them to move the sheep from one field to another, fertilizing as they go. The goal of these investments is “really building up our soil health,” he explains. “That relates directly to the nutrient quality of the food-healthy soil grows healthy food.”
The county also makes an effort to get that healthy food out to different communities to boost public health. That’s where the Boulder County Public Health department comes in. It created a coupon program to give discounts to people buying fruits and vegetables from Ollin Farms. Nutrition incentive programs, like those public health fruit and vegetable coupons, are spreading all over the country, and most are funded through the federal farm bill. Amy Yaroch, executive director at the Gretchen Swanson Center for Nutrition, says “It’s a trip le win. It’s basically good for the consumers who live in that particular community because they’re getting the healthy food, it’s good for the farmer, and then it’s good for the economy.”
8. What does Ollin Farms do
A. It makes public nutrition health plans.
B. It offers financial aid to other farms.
C. It provides cheap food to the local community.
D. It grows fruits and vegetables rich in nutrition.
9. How does Boulder county support sustainable farming practices at Ollin Farms
A. By raising sheep on radishes. B. By buying fences for farmhouses.
C. By funding the farm’s soil health. D. By giving advice about fertilizing fields.
10. What is Amy’s attitude towards “nutrition incentive programs”
A. Cautious. B. Dismissive. C. Unclear. D. Approving.
11. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Couponing for Health: Stimulating Nutrition Choices
B. Growing Health: Innovations in Farm and Public Health Initiatives
C. Fertile Fields and Furry Friends: A Farming Fairy Tale
D. Local Produce, Global Impact: The Nutrition Choices of Ollin Farms

Silent reading is far from silent in your brain Deep within your head there is a voice reading aloud each word as your eyes pass over it.
Let’s do a seemingly unrelated experiment first. Turn on your television and radio. Try to understand both the words from the television and the radio simultaneously. You might have noticed understanding one source required ignoring the other, and you could feel your attention shifting between the two voices. Although we can listen to multiple people speaking at the same time, we can only truly understand one person speaking at a time.
There are three major areas that allow you to understand spoken word. The first is the Auditory Cortex (听觉皮层), which processes the pure characteristics of incoming sounds. Both sides of your brain contain this region. The next area is the Broca/Wernicke (B/W) network, which makes sense of the spoken word. This network exists in only one side of your brain. This means that, although the sounds of language are initially processed in both sides of the brain, spoken word must eventually be funneled (流经漏斗) into this single network. This quickly leads to a bottleneck, which is controlled by the third area: the left Inferior Frontal Gyrus (IFG, 额下回). When you try to understand two people speaking at the same time, this region effectively blocks one voice while it allows the other to pass through the B/W bottleneck. Any information that does not immediately make it through the B/W network disappears completely — there is no waitlist.
Now, let’s bring all the pieces together to see why it’s related to your silent reading. When you read, the first region to demonstrate activation is the Visual Cortex, which processes the pure visual characteristics of incoming sights. Immediately after the visual cortex activates, the speech areas of the brain fire up because your brain processes your silent reading in a manner almost identical to the way in which it processes an actual, out-loud speaking voice. For this reason, attempting to read while listening to someone speak is the same as trying to understand two people speaking at the same time—it can’t be done!
12. What does the underlined word “simultaneously” in paragraph 2 mean
A. At the same time. B. One at a time.
C. On the whole. D. Through comparison.
13. Which of the following best illustrates paragraph 3
Note: disappear; wait
A. B.
C. D.
14. What may the author agree with
A. Professors give a speech with a text-heavy PowerPoint slide.
B Teachers keep silent when students are reading attentively.
C. Students solve math problem when following a lecture.
D. Students practice listening skills while reading novels.
15. Which of the following sentences can best serve as an introduction to the text
A. The art of conversation lies in listening.
B. What is reading, but a silent conversation.
C. We hear and understand only what we already know half.
D. Once an idea gets into your head, it’s probably going to stay there.

As a high school student, you’re likely used to learning through reading textbooks. ____16____ This lies at the heart of “experiential appreciation,” a philosophy that encourages you to engage directly with the world around you.

____19____ After trying something new, ask yourself what you learned and how it made you feel. Write in a journal or discuss it with friends. This self-discovery turns experiences into life lessons and offers a deeper understanding of the world.
Experiential appreciation transforms learning from a task to be completed into a journey to be treasured. ____20____ So, explore the world around you, let every experience shape you, and discover the endless possibilities that await. This is the core of true learning, where every moment is a step towards a richer, more enlightened life.

Melati and Isabel deeply love their home on the island, surrounded by tropical rain forests, green fields, and a vast ocean. Enjoying a swim at their local beach was once a daily pleasure for them. But when Melati was fifteen, and Isabel just ten, the sisters started to lose their enthusiasm for swimming in the waters near their borne. More often than not, plastic bags would be around them as they swam and some were scattered on the beach. They got really upset about that.
Melati didn’t think much about it until one day her teacher gave a lesson on some world heroes. Each of those people had sparked movements of positive changes in the world. They believed in the impact they could have and they did inspire more people to do something meaningful. After school, Melati walked home slowly in silence, concerned about the vast amount of plastic rubbish on the beach. The heroes crossed her mind. If they could do it, we could do it too, she thought. The idea lit her up. She couldn’t wait to share what she thought with Isabel and quickened her pace.
“So many plastic bags around! The beach is dirty and messy! It’s so terrible! We have lost the clean and beautiful beach. Can’t we do something to get it back " Melati said heartily. Isabel felt a bit puzzled at what to do, but she also had a strong desire to do something. Picturing a beach as fascinating as before in mind, the pair jumped with joy.
They talked a lot, anxious to know how Dad and Mom would respond to their ideas. That night when the family sat by the dinner table, the sisters eagerly got their ideas across. While Mom and Dad listened to the girls carefully, their eyes shone. “How amazing that would be! We are so proud of you!” Dad exclaimed. Mom came up, gave them a thumb up and hugged the sisters.
1. 续写词数应为80-100词；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Melati and Isabel decided to make a positive impact straight away.

Courage is a huge theme in my life, a quality I constantly seek, appreciate, and analyze. The root of “courage” is “cor,” the Latin word for heart. In the beginning, courage meant “to speak one’s mind by telling all one’s heart.” While courage is often associated with heroism nowadays, I believe true courage lies in being open and honest about who we are and how we feel.
I recently witnessed an example of true courage. During a mountain-climbing trip with my 15-year-old daughter and some college students, I noticed her struggling to keep up with the group. Despite my suggestions to rest, she persisted until she couldn’t breathe properly.
Panicked, I called out to the front for help, but there was no response, and we had no cellphone signal. Fortunately, two students just came back to check out on us. They offered assistance and calmed us down. As we continued at a slower pace, they shared their own experiences, from starting out as beginners like my daughter to becoming consistently among the first to reach the peak.
“You know,” one of them said, looking at my daughter, “I was just like you when I started.
But with practice and proper pace, you’ll get there too.”
“Yeah don’t let your lack of experience stop you,” the other added. “It’s okay to admit when you’re struggling or not feeling alright. In fact, it’s important to speak up and ask for help when you need it. That’s how we improve and grow.”
Reaching the mountain top was a huge relief for both my daughter and me. However, the two students addressed the celebrating group directly, emphasizing the importance of staying together in tough environments. Their words led the group to apologize to us for overlooking our struggle.
I was totally amazed at their bravery, and my daughter learned that it’s okay to be the least experienced in a group. Courage, I’ve come to realize, has a ripple effect. Each time we choose courage, we inspire those around us to be a little braver and make the world a little better.
4. Why does the author mention the original meaning of courage
A. To question the common belief of courage.
B. To argue for the true nature of courage.
C. To show the changing meaning of courage.
D. To compare different interpretations of courage.
5. What did the two students suggest the daughter do

Cordero is the farm manager at Ollin Farms, not far from Boulder, Colorado. The locally grown vegetables on the farm aren’t just pretty. “We play an important role in public health nutrition programs,” says Cordero’s dad, Mark Guttridge, who started this farm with his wife, Kena, 17 years ago.
At a meeting with about a dozen local farmers, two state representatives, and the Colorado officials of agriculture, Guttridge explains how Boulder county has made creative investments in his farm that could be spread to the state or even national level. Before the meeting, Guttridge shows them one of those investments.
A dozen sheep, which Guttridge raises for wool, feed on root vegetables like radishes that have been leftover for them. “So these guys are out fertilizing the vegetable field,” Guttridge laughs. “They’ll be out here a couple more weeks, and then we’ll get our next summer vegetables planted right there.” Around the field is a special moveable type of fencing that Ollin Farms bought using financial aid from the Boulder County Sustainability Office. It allows them to move the sheep from one field to another, fertilizing as they go. The goal of these investments is “really building up our soil health,” he explains. “That relates directly to the nutrient quality of the food-healthy soil grows healthy food.”
The county also makes an effort to get that healthy food out to different communities to boost public health. That’s where the Boulder County Public Health department comes in. It created a coupon program to give discounts to people buying fruits and vegetables from Ollin Farms. Nutrition incentive programs, like those public health fruit and vegetable coupons, are spreading all over the country, and most are funded through the federal farm bill. Amy Yaroch, executive director at the Gretchen Swanson Center for Nutrition, says “It’s a trip le win. It’s basically good for the consumers who live in that particular community because they’re getting the healthy food, it’s good for the farmer, and then it’s good for the economy.”
8. What does Ollin Farms do
A. It makes public nutrition health plans.
B. It offers financial aid to other farms.
C. It provides cheap food to the local community.
D. It grows fruits and vegetables rich in nutrition.
9. How does Boulder county support sustainable farming practices at Ollin Farms
A. By raising sheep on radishes. B. By buying fences for farmhouses.
C. By funding the farm’s soil health. D. By giving advice about fertilizing fields.
10. What is Amy’s attitude towards “nutrition incentive programs”
A. Cautious. B. Dismissive. C. Unclear. D. Approving.
11. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Couponing for Health: Stimulating Nutrition Choices

Silent reading is far from silent in your brain. Deep within your head there is a voice reading aloud each word as your eyes pass over it.
Let’s do a seemingly unrelated experiment first. Turn on your television and radio. Try to understand both the words from the television and the radio simultaneously. You might have noticed understanding one source required ignoring the other, and you could feel your attention shifting between the two voices. Although we can listen to multiple people speaking at the same time, we can only truly understand one person speaking at a time.
There are three major areas that allow you to understand spoken word. The first is the Auditory Cortex (听觉皮层), which processes the pure characteristics of incoming sounds. Both sides of your brain contain this region. The next area is the Broca/Wernicke (B/W) network, which makes sense of the spoken word. This network exists in only one side of your brain. This means that, although the sounds of language are initially processed in both sides of the brain, spoken word must eventually be funneled (流经漏斗) into this single network. This quickly leads to a bottleneck, which is controlled by the third area: the left Inferior Frontal Gyrus (IFG, 额下回). When you try to understand two people speaking at the same time, this region effectively blocks one voice while it allows the other to pass through the B/W bottleneck. Any information that does not immediately make it through the B/W network disappears completely — there is no waitlist.
Now, let’s bring all the pieces together to see why it’s related to your silent reading. When you read, the first region to demonstrate activation is the Visual Cortex, which processes the pure visual characteristics of incoming sights. Immediately after the visual cortex activates, the speech areas of the brain fire up because your brain processes your silent reading in a manner almost identical to the way in which it processes an actual, out-loud speaking voice. For this reason, attempting to read while listening to someone speak is the same as trying to understand two people speaking at the same time—it can’t be done!
12. What does the underlined word “simultaneously” in paragraph 2 mean
A. At the same time. B. One at a time.
C. On the whole. D. Through comparison.
13. Which of the following best illustrates paragraph 3
Note: disappear; wait
A. B.
C. D.
14. What may the author agree with
A. Professors give a speech with a text-heavy PowerPoint slide.
B. Teachers keep silent when students are reading attentively.
C. Students solve math problem when following a lecture.
D. Students practice listening skills while reading novels.
15. Which of the following sentences can best serve as an introduction to the text
A. The art of conversation lies in listening.
B. What is reading, but a silent conversation.
C. We hear and understand only what we already know half.
D. Once an idea gets into your head, it’s probably going to stay there.
【答案】12. A 13. A 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过介绍理解口语的过程和默读时大脑的活动，表明阅读其实是无声的对话，一边听别人说话一边阅读就像同时理解两个声音来源，是无法实现的。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词的下文“You might have noticed understanding one source required ignoring the other, and you could feel your attention shifting between the two voices. Although we can listen to multiple people speaking at the same time, we can only truly understand one person speaking at a time. (你可能已经注意到，理解一种声音需要忽略另一种声音，你可以感觉到你的注意力在两种声音之间转移。虽然我们可以同时听很多人说话，但我们一次只能真正理解一个人说话。)”可知，人的注意力只能专注于一个声音，同时理解多个人说话时不可能的，因此画线词所在句是指“试着同时理解电视和收音机里的单词”，画线词意为“同时地”。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The first is the Auditory Cortex (听觉皮层), which processes the pure characteristics of incoming sounds. Both sides of your brain contain this region. The next area is the Broca/Wernicke (B/W) network, which makes sense of the spoken word. This network exists in only one side of your brain. This means that, although the sounds of language are initially processed in both sides of the brain, spoken word must eventually be funneled (流经漏斗) into this single network. This quickly leads to a bottleneck, which is controlled by the third area: the left Inferior Frontal Gyrus (IFG, 额下回). When you try to understand two people speaking at the same time, this region effectively blocks one voice while it allows the other to pass through the B/W bottleneck. Any information that does not immediately make it through the B/W network disappears completely — there is no waitlist. (第一个是听觉皮层，它处理传入声音的纯粹特征。你的大脑两侧都包含这个区域。下一个区域是Broca/Wernicke (B/W)网络，它负责理解所说的话。这个网络只存在于你大脑的一侧。这意味着，虽然语言的声音最初是在大脑的两侧处理的，但所说的话最终必须流入这个单一的网络。这很快就会导致一个瓶颈，这个瓶颈由第三个区域控制：左侧额下回(IFG)。当你试图理解两个人同时说话时，这个区域有效地阻挡了一个声音，同时允许另一个声音通过B/W瓶颈。任何没有立即通过B/W网络的信息都将完全消失——没有等待名单。)”可知，当大脑两侧听觉皮层处理两个声音时，仅有一个声音可以经由左侧额下回控制，流入B/W网络，而另一个声音会立即消失，A项的图示符合该机制。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“For this reason, attempting to read while listening to someone speak is the same as trying to understand two people speaking at the same time—it can’t be done! (因此，一边听别人说话一边阅读就像同时听两个人说话一样——这是不可能做到的。)”可知，人无法同时进行阅读和听别人说话。因此，作者会同意“学生专心读书时，老师保持沉默。”的观点。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据通读全文，尤其是第一段“Silent reading is far from silent in your brain. Deep within your head there is a voice reading aloud each word as your eyes pass over it. (默读在你的大脑中远非沉默。在你的脑海深处，有一个声音在你的目光掠过时大声朗读着每一个单词。)”可知，文章通过介绍理解口语的过程和默读时大脑的活动，表明阅读其实是无声的对话，一边听别人说话一边阅读就像同时理解两个声音来源，是无法实现的。因此，B项“什么是阅读，无声的对话。”契合文意，最适合作为文章的介绍。故选B项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了古塔爱好者吴锴寻求一本完善的古塔书籍而不得，凭借自己的努力编写了一本有关古塔的书。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：十多年前，古塔爱好者吴锴正在寻找一本书，这本书用优质的介绍和图像全面详细地介绍古塔的总数和位置。空处引导一个定语从句，先行词为指物的a book，且空处在从句中作主语，所以应用which或that引导。故填which/that。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意：吴对现有的书籍选择感到不满意，决定创造自己的书。空处作定语修饰options，应用形容词。existing意为“现存的”，和existent(现有的)意思一致。故填existing/existent。
【38题详解】
考查代词。句意：尽管全国估计有10000座古塔，但由于位置偏远和条件恶劣，许多古塔仍下落不明。空处作定语修饰其后remote locations and poor conditions，应用形容词性物主代词their。故填their。
【39题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：参观山顶或悬崖顶的宝塔，或那些隐藏在深林中的宝塔，需要极大的决心、体力甚至运气，所以很少有人能亲自看到它们。本句陈述的是客观事实，应用一般现在时。空处作句子的谓语，主语为动名词短语Visiting...，所以谓语应用单数。故填requires。
【40题详解】
考查连词。句意参考上题。“Visiting hilltop or cliff-top pagodas, or those hidden in deep forests, ___4___(require) great determination, physical strength and even luck”和“few people get to see them in person”之间是因果关系，前为因，后为果，所以应用so连接。故填so。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意：对于那些这样做的人来说，拍摄好照片是一个额外的挑战，尤其是那些适合印刷的照片。suitable for...意为“适合……”，为固定搭配。故填for。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意：幸运的是，吴的计划得到了志同道合的爱好者的赞赏，他们慷慨地贡献了很棒的照片。根据“Wu’s plan was applauded by like-minded enthusiasts, who generously contributed great ___8___(photo)”可知，吴锴的计划得到了志同道合的爱好者的赞赏，这些人给他提供了许多照片，这是一件幸事。空处修饰整个句子，应用副词fortunately，意为“幸运地”。故填Fortunately。
【43题详解】
考查名词的数。句意参考上题。photo意为“照片”，为可数名词，其前没有表示数量的限定词，应用名词复数。故填photos。
【44题详解】
考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：2023年，他们出版了960页厚的书，书名为《有生之年一定要看的1001座中国古塔》。根据“In 2023”可知，这里表示过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时。主语their weighty 960-page book和release之间是动宾关系，应用被动语态，且be动词应用was。故填was released。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意：吴在引言中写道：“在每一座塔中，我都看到了我们遗产的美丽，以及现代生活中失去的简单、完美和尊重自然的价值观。”空处作定语修饰values，应用形容词。lost意为“失去的”。故填lost。

Melati and Isabel deeply love their home on the island, surrounded by tropical rain forests, green fields, and a vast ocean. Enjoying a swim at their local beach was once a daily pleasure for them. But when Melati was fifteen, and Isabel just ten, the sisters started to lose their enthusiasm for swimming in the waters near their borne. More often than not, plastic bags would be around them as they swam and some were scattered on the beach. They got really upset about that.
Melati didn’t think much about it until one day her teacher gave a lesson on some world heroes. Each of those people had sparked movements of positive changes in the world. They believed in the impact they could have and they did inspire more people to do something meaningful. After school, Melati walked home slowly in silence, concerned about the vast amount of plastic rubbish on the beach. The heroes crossed her mind. If they could do it, we could do it too, she thought. The idea lit her up. She couldn’t wait to share what she thought with Isabel and quickened her pace.
“So many plastic bags around! The beach is dirty and messy! It’s so terrible! We have lost the clean and beautiful beach. Can’t we do something to get it back " Melati said heartily. Isabel felt a bit puzzled at what to do, but she also had a strong desire to do something. Picturing a beach as fascinating as before in mind, the pair jumped with joy.
They talked a lot, anxious to know how Dad and Mom would respond to their ideas. That night when the family sat by the dinner table, the sisters eagerly got their ideas across. While Mom and Dad listened to the girls carefully, their eyes shone. “How amazing that would be! We are so proud of you!” Dad exclaimed. Mom came up, gave them a thumb up and hugged the sisters.

【答案】范文
Melati and Isabel decided to make a positive impact straight away. They took advantage of their spare time to pick up rubbish on the beach. However, so massive and endless was the rubbish that only a small patch of beach was clear at the end of the day. Sighing heavily and shaking her head, Malati discussed with Isabel, “we need more hands to clean the beach!” After discussions and preparations, they started an organization to spread their idea among youth, involving more youths in the movement. Their efforts did not go unnoticed. With more and more teenagers and other concerned citizens getting involved, they altogether collected and recycled 2.5 tons of plastic in a month, recovering the beautiful beach. Melati and Isabel are heroes who make a big difference to our world.
