possible version:
Dear Chris,
Informed that you intend to save money secretly to purchase a phone for gaming, I am overwhelmed by a feeling of worry due to the fact that your spending the money on gaming is not a good idea.
As far as I am concerned, it's significant for you to prioritize other reasonable needs in preference to gaming. When it comes to other options, I suggest that you save money for something contributing to your personal development, such as educational materials or courses that will equip you with useful knowledge. Plus, importance should be attached to exploring different forms of entertainment that don't rely solely on technology. Engaging in outdoor activities, or joining clubs can ensure enjoyment and help you acquire new skills. It's also a great way to expand your social circle.
I think if you can be a little bit smarter now, your will have a brighter future. Good luck.
Yours
Li Hua

possible version:
Lunch over, Williams took George to pick strawberries in the field. Under the guidance of Williams, George quickly got familiar with the work. But before long, his waist aching and sweat flowing along his cheeks, he wore a tired look. “Have a strawberry; it will give you power,” Williams said merrily.George put one into his mouth. Wow! It exploded like a little flavor bomb, which renewed his energy. Two hours later, they were done. “ A splendid harvest!” Grandpa exclaimed with satisfaction. Subsequently they went home with boxes of strawberries on their backs. Back at home, George knew what to write.
George set out to write the composition. “I had a very memorable weekend picking strawberries, ” he started it.“Bathed in brilliant sunlight,all strawberry plants
thrived, their green leaves dancing in the breeze,” he continued.Words were bouncing in his head. He mentioned the pain on his waist and the bitter sweat, adding the finishing touches to the composition. When Monday came, he submitted it to the teacher. As George had imagined, it was rated the best one. With his piece on the notice board, his classmates all admired George’s unforgettable weekend.

第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
A【解析】【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四部英国电影。
【21题详解】细节理解题。根据The Dig部分中“The delightful counties surrounding London are vividly depicted in The Dig, set against the peaceful countryside of Suffolk before World War Ⅱ. Ralph Fiennes, a famous actor, plays the role of a self-taught archaeologist unearthing the mysteries of an Anglo-Saxon graveyard, adding to its fun.(《The Dig》生动地描绘了伦敦周围宜人乡村，背景是二战前萨福克郡的宁静乡村。著名演员拉尔夫·费因斯饰演一位自学成才的考古学家，发掘盎格鲁-撒克逊人墓地的奥秘，为影片增添了乐趣)”可知，The Dig会吸引好奇的历史爱好者。故选A。
【22题详解】细节理解题。根据Local Hero部分中“Local Hero digs into the conflict between a giant US oil company and a remote Scottish village when the former plans to build a refinery.(《Local Hero》深入探讨了一家美国巨型石油公司和一个偏远的苏格兰村庄之间的冲突，前者计划建造一座炼油厂)”可知，电影《Local Hero》的背景是一个偏僻的苏格兰村庄。故选B。
【23题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段“British cinema boasts a rich diversity of films that weave appealing narratives with stunning landscapes and fascinating characters. These films celebrate the diverse beauty and cultural heritage of Britain.(英国电影拥有丰富多样的电影，这些电影用令人惊叹的风景和迷人的人物编织出吸引人的叙事。这些电影颂扬了英国多样的美景和文化遗产)”可知，文章提到的英国电影的主题是英国风景和人物的美丽和多样性。故选C。
B语篇导读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了在作者10岁生日到来前的那个夏天,他们一家搬到了一个大农场。虽然在那里他们生活得十分简朴,但是作者一家感到无比的快乐。
24.C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“We had always...who had wanted fresh air,
green food and lots of room for their children...”及“My father held the same will.”可知,作者的父亲想让自己的孩子享受新鲜的空气、绿色的食物和宽敞的空间,即想让孩子有一个更好的环境,故选C。
25.B 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“So we all now played with a big orange-brown boxer and a sporty German Shorthaired Pointer,who we named Billy and Molly.”可知,作者他们现在有两条狗。故选B。
26.D 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Minimalism was our goal,and also our only choice.Absolutely our clothes were hand-me-downs.Bananas and oranges were rare ‘imported’ fruit we’d seen at holidays.We felt we were younger than peers...”可知,作者以逗趣的口吻描述他们在农场的简朴生活。故选D。
27.C 猜测词义题。根据下文中“we had joy to hand all the time”可知,对作者一家而言快乐是触手可及的;再结合画线词所在句中的“While”可知,前后句子在语义上形成对比关系,即此处表示作者家没什么钱,这也是对上文中的“Absolutely our clothes were hand-me-downs.Bananas and oranges were rare...once every 9 years a child would have his/her own party!”总结。故选C。
C语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究人员发明了一种像牙膏一样的化合物,它的主要成分是氢化镁,与水反应可以释放氢,从而为油箱提供燃料。
28.C 猜测词义题。根据文章第一段画线词后“Over time, hydrogen gas can pass slowly into metals...materials designed to resist this breakdown.” 可知,这两种工艺都需要坚固的储罐。所以rugged意为“坚固耐用的”。故选C。
29.D 细节理解题。根据文章第三段第二句可知,氢化镁与水反应可以释放氢。故选D。
30.B 推理判断题。根据文章第四段内容可知,本段主要是通过比较的方法来展开陈述的。故选B。
31.D 标题归纳题。根据全文可知,文章主要介绍了研究人员发明了一种像牙膏一样的化合物,它的主要成分是氢化镁,与水反应可以释放氢,从而为油箱提供燃料。所以D项“‘Toothpaste’ in Your Tank(你油箱中的‘牙膏’)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选D。
D【解析】【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了尽管有音乐流媒体服务，人们还参加现场演出，因为他们重视现场音乐带来情感联系。文章介绍了与之有关的研究和研究发现。
【32题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段“People still fill sweaty basements, muddy fields and gilded concert halls to hear their favourite musicians play. And now neuroscientists might know why—live music engages the brain’s emotion centres more than its recorded counterpart.(人们仍然挤在闷热的地下室、泥泞的田野和镀金的音乐厅里听他们最喜欢的音乐家演奏。现在神经科学家可能知道了原因——现场音乐比录音音乐更能调动大脑的情绪中枢)”可知，尽管有音乐流媒体服务，人们还参加现场演出是因为他们重视现场音乐带来的情感联系。故选D。
【33题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“In the “live” experiment, participants lay in an MRI scanner listening to the music through earphones, while a pianist was positioned outside the room. The pianist was shown the participant’s real-time brain activity as a form of feedback.In the recorded condition, participants listened to pre-recorded versions of the same tunes.(在“现场”实验中，参与者躺在核磁共振扫描仪中，戴着耳机听音乐，而钢琴家则被安排在房间外面。作为一种反馈，钢琴家被展示了参与者的实时大脑活动。在录音条件下，参与者听预先录制的相同曲调)”可知，钢琴家在“现场”实验中扮演的角色是为MRI扫描仪内的参与者提供现场伴奏。故选C。
【34题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The results, just published in the journal PNAS, revealed that live music had a significantly greater emotional impact.(刚刚发表在《美国科学院院刊》上的研究结果显示，现场音乐对情绪的影响要大得多)”可知，关于现场音乐对大脑的影响，发表在PNAS上的研究发现大脑对现场音乐的声学特征反应更强烈。故选B。
【35题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“Some musical acts now attempt to recreate live concerts, such as ABBA Voyage, an immersive pre-recorded VR concert, but without artists’ capacity to read audience’s mood and respond accordingly, it will never quite match the real thing.(现在，一些音乐表演试图重现现场音乐会，比如ABBA Voyage，这是一场身临其境的预先录制的VR音乐会，但如果艺术家没有能力读懂观众的情绪并做出相应的反应，它就永远无法与真实的音乐会媲美)”可知，作者在最后一段提到ABBA Voyage意思是缺乏艺术家基于观众反馈的回应。故选D。
七选五 语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何保持年轻及促进身体健康的方法。
36.F 根据前文“ A scientist named Dr David proved last year that reversing the age of a cell is possible.”可知,科学家发现逆转细胞年龄是可能的,F项中的this technology指代前面的逆转细胞年龄这项技术;根据空后“It will allow us to live
healthy lives for an extended period of time.”可知,如果这项技术在将来运用到人类身上可以让人更健康地生活。F项符合语境。故选F。
37.B 根据空前“It holds a lot of moisture and is used to relieve dry eye as well as improve the skin, remove wrinkles, make joints healthy.”可知,前面列举了玻尿酸的好处,所以B项“它甚至显示出对抗癌症的希望。”符合语境,故选B。
38.A 根据前文“It seems that resistance exercise is the best for health and longevity.But remember, you don’t have to lift heavy weights if you don’t want to.”可知,阻力运动对健康和长寿是最好的,但如果不想要做举重这样的运动也可以。A项“有时一罐豆子就足够了!” 指一罐豆子的重量也可以起到锻炼的作用。故选A。
39.E 根据前文“Sleep is an essential time for our bodily repair.”可知,睡眠对身体的健康也很重要,E项中的it指代前文的Sleep;根据后文“Watching TV late at night...not having a night time routine can all affect sleep.”可知,充足的睡眠对健康有好处,而深夜看电视,睡在光线太强的房间,没有规律的夜间活动会影响睡眠,对身体不好。E项“当它受到干扰时,尤其是长时间的干扰,我们的身体会受到影响。”承上启下,符合语境。故选E。
40.D 根据前文“Improve your memory.”可知,本段主要讲述如何提高记忆力,D项“保护你的大脑显然非常重要。”符合语境。故选D。

The summer before my 10th birthday my father moved our family of nine kids to a farm.We had always lived in a small city,in the house my dad had gotten from my grandparents who had wanted fresh air,green food and lots of room for their children but failed.My father held the same will.He’d worked multiple jobs and saved for many years and could finally afford a place in the countryside.Now a minor concern: the house had no running water or electricity.But there were 150 acres to run around in!
That first year my dad put in electricity,because my mom simply announced,“I won’t have oil lamps with children running around!” Indoor plumbing (管道系统) had to wait another year.Different friends,who my dad knew from work,asked if he’d take their large dogs who couldn’t run free in the city.So we all now played with a big orange-brown boxer and a sporty German Shorthaired Pointer, who we named Billy and Molly.
Minimalism was our goal,and also our only choice.Absolutely our clothes were hand-me-downs.Bananas and oranges were rare “imported” fruit we’d seen at holidays.We felt we were younger than peers there was ONE birthday party a year! We’d take turns once every 9 years a child would have his/her own party!
While money was so scarce, we had joy to hand all the time. My mother was always singing, yelling, or hugging.And she told us we owned plenty!To this day,each of us remembers those years as an abundance of things,laughter,arguing,making peace,and playing together! Every challenge was a game to defeat, and any failure was a chance to learn there.

On paper, hydrogen looks like a dream fuel.In practice, things are trickier.Storing meaningful quantities of hydrogen gas requires compressing (压缩) it several hundred times.Transforming it into liquid state is another option, but one that requires cooling the stuff to -253℃.Either process requires rugged tanks. Over time, hydrogen gas can pass slowly into metals, weakening them and potentially causing cracks.Tanks must be built from special materials designed to resist this breakdown.
Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute led by Marcus Vogt, think that supplying hydrogen as goop (糊状) offers a way around some of its limitations.They have been experimenting with a chemical compound that can be pumped into a container and then persuaded to give off its hydrogen on demand.
Their invention, which they nickname “powerpaste”, looks like toothpaste.Its main ingredient is magnesium hydride, a compound that when introduced to water, reacts with it to form hydrogen and magnesium hydroxide. The escaped hydrogen can then be redirected into a fuel cell, where it reacts with oxygen from the air to generate electric power. The magnesium hydroxide waste is emptied from the reactor automatically.
Dr Vogt’s scheme offers several advantages over batteries, petrol and more conventional ways of handling hydrogen.One is the storage of energy that either batteries or petrol can manage.A second is ease of refilling, which is simply a matter of swapping an empty container of paste for a full one, and topping up the water, which is stored in a separate tank.A third advantage is that, unlike a battery, the paste does not gradually lose its stored energy if it is left on the shelf.Moreover, the paste itself is harmless, as are the reaction’s by-products.
But there are still more to work through. Magnesium hydride reacts only slowly with water.To overcome this, Dr Vogt and his team have found a chemical additive that greatly accelerates the reaction.They have also found a way to ensure that the reaction can be controlled precisely enough to supply only as much hydrogen as is needed at any given moment.
28.Which of the following best explains “rugged” underlined in Paragraph 1
A. Creative. B. Fragile. C.Tough. D.Enormous.
29.What can we know about the invention according to Paragraph 3
A. The remaining waste needs removing with extra help.
B. Several chemical reactions occur in the same tank.
C.Water and electricity are necessary in the process.
D. Magnesium hydride mixed with water releases hydrogen.
30.How is Paragraph 4 mainly developed
A. By providing examples. B. By drawing comparisons.
C.By quoting sayings. D.By explaining a concept.
31.What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Dream Fuel: Hydrogen Gas B. New Clean Energy
C.Advantages of Hydrogen Goop D. “Toothpaste”in Your Tank

In a world of music streaming services, access to almost any song is just a few clicks away. Yet, the live performance lives on. People still fill sweaty basements, muddy fields and gilded concert halls to hear their favourite musicians play. And now neuroscientists might know why—live music engages the brain’s emotion centres more than its recorded counterpart.
Concerts are immersive (沉浸式的) social experiences in which people listen to and feel the music together through crescendos（音乐渐强）, key changes and rhythmic drops. Moreover, they are dynamic — artists can adapt their playing according to the crowd’s reaction.
It was this last difference that led neuroscientists, based at the Universities of Zurich and Oslo, to study the brain responses of people listening to music. In the “live” experiment, participants lay in an MRI scanner listening to the music through earphones, while a pianist was positioned outside the room. The pianist was shown the participant’s real-time brain activity as a form of feedback. In the recorded condition, participants listened to pre-recorded versions of the same tunes.
The scientists were interested in how live music affected the areas of the brain responsible for processing emotions, particularly the amygdala, an area deep inside the brain. The results, just published in the journal PNAS, revealed that live music had a significantly greater emotional impact. Whether the music conveyed happiness or sadness, dynamic live performances led to increased activity not only in the amygdala but also other parts of the brain’s emotion processing network. The researchers also found that participants’ brain activity tracked the acoustic (声学的) features of the music, like tempo（节奏） and pitch（音准）, far more closely when it was played live.
While the study didn’t fully recreate the live concert experience, the findings suggest that artists’ ability to adjust their performance in real time contributes to the emotional resonance (共鸣) of live music. Some musical acts now attempt to recreate live concerts, such as ABBA Voyage, an immersive pre-recorded VR concert, but without artists’ capacity to read audience’s mood and respond accordingly, it will never quite match the real thing.
32. Why do people attend live shows despite music streaming services
A. Because they prefer being with friends at a concert.
B. Because they enjoy the process of finding popular music.
C. Because they intend to meet their favorite musicians in person.
D. Because they value the emotional connection live music brings.
33. The role of the pianist play in the “live” experiment is to _______.
A. observe the participants’ brain activity as feedback
B. compare the effectiveness of live performances and recorded ones
C. provide live accompaniment to participants inside the MRI scanner
D. demonstrate their ability to read and respond to the audience’s mood
34. What did the study published in PNAS find about the impact of live music on the brain
A. Live music affected only the amygdala of the brain.
B. The brain responded more intensely to acoustic features of live music.
C. Live music had a reduced emotional impact compared to recorded music.
D. The participants’ brain activity was especially sensitive to dynamic music.
35. What does the author suggest by mentioning ABBA Voyage in the last paragraph
A. It fails to create a perfect performing atmosphere.
B. It matches the sound quality of live performances.
C. It greatly stirs up the audience’s emotional response.
D. It lacks artists’ response based on audience’s feedback.

Time was literally flying faster than you could blink.It was already dark.Poor George still scratched every inch of his head for some spark of inspiration.Their teacher had asked every student to write a composition and would have 10 top pieces posted on the noticeboard.The title was An Unforgettable Weekend.A both interesting and boring topic.
Just as George was wrestling with his composition, there came a knock on the door.It was Eric,his father.“George, since tomorrow is Saturday, we will go and see your grandparents!” he beamed.“Williams and Jenny I really miss them!” George jumped with joy, dumping his pen on the desk.After all, George hadn’t been reunited with his grandparents since 2020.
Early next morning they began their long journey.George’s grandparents lived in a remote countryside.As Eric was driving, George couldn’t help recalling his past experience staying in his grandparents’.The memories of dusty tracks, some shabby houses and the smelly river still hurt painfully.“Dad, was your hometown beautiful when you lived there ” George asked curiously.“You bet it! Our life wasn’t good, but the scenery was definitely like a picture,” Eric responded with noticeable pride.But what George worried about was that instead of having an unforgettable day, he would be greeted with unforgettable gray.He had been deeply scared by the smog there.
With a soft brake, the car stopped, pulling George from the edge of a sweet daydream. “Here we are! Home, sweet home!” Eric said, bouncing out, happy as a kid.Out of the car, what George saw was really unforgettable.The old and small house had been replaced by a new and big one, solid and strong.Just as George was wondering what happened, the door opened and his grandparents strode out, wearing big smiles.Approaching George, Williams gave him a tight embrace.Jenny talked eagerly with Eric.Inside the house, they provided updates on each other.
