A Live Speech on Strange Traditions of Oxford University
An upcoming live speech, combined with a reality show dedicated to exploring the strange traditions of Oxford University, will take place from March 1st to the end of May at the University Hall. Tickets are now on sale.
Ticket Deals:
One popular option is the online ticketing platform, where you can easily book and pay for your tickets using a credit card or digital payment services like PayPal. Mobile apps often provide quick access with exclusive discounts. You can also conveniently purchase tickets at the box office directly at the venue. Additionally, this event allows for phone orders. You can call and have your tickets mailed to you.
A Brief Look Ahead:
·A special appointment of time
If you’re hurrying to class at Oxford and you arrive at 9:05 am, don’t worry— you’re not late; you’re right on time. That’s because all university lectures and exams are always scheduled for five minutes past the hour. Before the birth of railways, the UK’s towns operated on their own slightly different time, and Oxford’s local time was five minutes and two seconds behind Greenwich Mean Time. Therefore, the additional five minutes today is a nod to the past.
·A formal dinner ceremony
Every week, colleges host a formal three-course meal called Formal Hall, where students are required to wear formal Oxford gowns（长袍）. This ranges from a waist-length, vest-like coat for undergraduates to full, knee-length gowns for graduate students. Some colleges have been known to turn students away for being even a few minutes late to Formal Hall.
Don’t miss this opportunity. Secure your tickets today and be part of this exciting event. Stay tuned for more updates and announcements.
21．Which of the following offers tickets at a lower price
A．The box office. B．Mobile apps.
C．Phone orders. D．Online ticketing platform.
22．Why is there a 5′02″ delay in the university’s schedule
A．To add some unexpected fun. B．To make students less stressed.
C．To honour the local time tradition. D．To spare professors time to prepare.
23．What is students’ dressing based on at Formal Hall
A．Their major. B．Their degree stages.
C．Their family background. D．Their academic performance.
B
15-year-old Cassandra Lin admires unexpected heroes. Inspired by a YouTube story about a Malawian boy who built windmills from bicycle parts to power his village, she created an award-winning recycling program in her hometown, Westerly, Rhode Island. This program, Project TGIF （Turn Grease Into Fuel）, encourages residents and local restaurants to recycle used cooking oil, which is then processed into biodiesel（生物柴油） fuel. The money earned from the program is donated to help heat the homes of needy people in Westerly. That’s exactly what this persistent tenth grader has done. For her, however, it’s just something she does with her friends after school.
To make the project successful, Cassandra and her team educated themselves on the biodiesel refining process, made their own biodiesel with proper safety measures, secured two separate youth seed grants, and persuaded community leaders to support the initiative. They identified a non-sustainable emergency heating program and the issue of pouring used fats and oils down into drains as key problems in their community. “All of our problems are snowballed together,” Cassandra said. She and her team puzzled over how to combine these problems to get a one-off solution. An article on collecting and recycling cooking oil settled the deal.
Cassandra’s leadership, clear-sightedness, logical thinking, and creativity were central to the success of TGIF. Her enthusiasm and energy have motivated many to join her cause. Despite her achievements, Cassandra stays down-to-earth, viewing her efforts as just part of her after-school activities. When reminded that she is featured on YouTube as a delegate（代表） to the Tunza International Youth Conference in South Korea, keeping a low profile, she responds “Am I ”
24．What is the aim of Project TGIF
A．To encourage locals to lead a healthy life. B．To provide science education for teenagers.
C．To reduce the use of cooking oil in Westerly. D．To find a green way to process used cooking oil.
25．What is the second paragraph mainly about
A．The article the teenagers published. B．The scientific basis of the recycling.
C．The financial problem the team faced. D．The practice of advancing the project.
26．What do we know from Cassandra’s response in the last paragraph
A．She is humble. B．She is doubtful.
C．She is aggressive. D．She is straightforward.
27．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．A Malawian boy that tops the Youtube channel
B．An intelligent tenth grader who changes her life
C．Grease to fuel: A schoolgirl’s wisdom warms the community
D．A school project bridging the energy gap illuminates the world
C
What should you do if your child steals another kid’s toy in a playdate or gets pushed by another kid at the park These are common behaviors for preschoolers who are still learning how to act around others and regulate their emotions. But for many parents, these moments are a struggle to manage.
“We feel on the spot when we’re in public,” says Celina Benavides, a developmental psychologist at Oxnard College in California. “We feel the judgmental eyes from other people, and that can shape how we parent and how children might respond to us.” So, how should parents address their kids’ challenging behaviors in public Benavides explains the reason why sometimes young children suffer meltdown is that they are stuck in a tough situation for them to handle properly. So try to distract them by stepping in timely and offering help they need.
For example, at a park, a boy comes up behind your 2-year-old daughter and hits her on the back of the head so that he can climb the stairs first, but his parents don’t say anything or apologize. What would you do “It’s always OK to simply remove your child from situations that don’t feel safe. But if you choose to engage, focus first on the harmed child. Then, move on to the child doing the harm, producing a situation to help the children repair the relationship in a healthy way.” says Benavides.
Assuming your 18-month-old son is at a children’s party. He grabs an older child’s shirt, and then takes a truck toy from his hand! The other child starts crying. Your son looks on, confused. Should the parents get involved in it “Actually, parents’ role is to help the kid figure out how to resolve the dilemma on his own.” Benavides says. He also recommends pausing before jumping in, and if you do need to participate, label what you’re seeing and ask questions, like “What if we try taking turns ” This allows children to come up with ideas themselves.
28．Why is parenting in public difficult
A．The kids’ misbehaviors are tolerated. B．It’s hard to regulate parents’ emotions.
C．Parents feel stressed by others’ judgement. D．Adults lack communication skills with kids.
29．What does the underlined word “meltdown” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Constant fear. B．Emotional outbursts.
C．Physical problems. D．Temporary setbacks.
30．What is suggested by Benavides when kids are in a dilemma
A．Blaming the child doing harm. B．Presenting children with choices.
C．Standing by without engagement. D．Getting kids away from the spot.
31．What does the text mainly talk about
A．How to parent sensibly in public. B．How to construct family relations.
C．How to develop kids’ good manners. D．How to get on well with other parents.
D
Shannon Brescher Shea’ s nine-year-old struggled with focus and following directions at home and at school. But after riding his bike, whether around the park or to school, he felt obviously calmer. “We call it moving meditation（冥想）,” says Shea, who is a family biking advocate and author in Maryland. “We saw how incredibly helpful biking was for his focus, emotional regulation and ability to follow directions.”
This experience isn’t unique. Research consistently shows that physical activity contributes to improving mental health. “Exercise, no matter your age, is the single best thing you can do for every organ in your body, including your brain,” says Allan Reiss, a professor and director of Brain Sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine.
And while any exercise helps, a growing body of research shows bicycling is among the activities that might provide even more of a mental health boost. Scientists aren’t yet sure why, but it might have something to do with all the functional skills cyclists use. “You need to maintain your balance and process a lot of information from your environment, like deciding whether you can squeeze past a tree or how hard you need to brake,” says Reiss, “Most importantly, you’ve got to coordinate（协调）, sense, process, integrate, regulate, and continually make decisions.”
According to Reiss, “Research suggests that physical activity like cycling likely encourages new cell growth in areas of the brain linked to memory and problem-solving, and can support stronger connections between neurons（神经元）, ultimately impacting memory and learning.”
Luckily, it’s not too hard to get on a bike for most people. You should focus on the fun. To ensure riders don’ t get tired too quickly （or too bored）, build in a fun stop rather than make the ride the single focus. Self-paced exploration and adventure are key to the ride. Cycling can multiply when it becomes a social project. In neighborhoods where bike lanes or other safe-to- ride pathways exist, organizing a group ride with friends might be just the ticket to less stressed, more relaxed individuals.
32．What does the author want to stress using Shea’s son’s example
A．Advantage of physical exercise regularly. B．Positive effect of riding on mental health.
C．Importance of leading a relaxing lifestyle. D．Possibilities that any disease can be cured.
33．Why does cycling boost mental health more according to Reiss
A．It needs better integrated coordination abilities.
B．Its outdoor exposure helps improve the mood state.
C．It needs repetitive movement to help calm the mind.
D．Its sense of freedom and exploration helps mind grow.
34．What is the function of the quoted statement in paragraph 4
A．Presenting experiments. B．Explaining concepts.
C．Providing evidence. D．Offering suggestions.
35．What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．Cycling with partners is recommended.
B．Nonstop cycling makes the most of the ride.
C．Purchasing tickets for a group ride is essential.
D．Bike lane construction is promoted by communities.

It’s never too early to start planning your career! Having an idea of your personal career goals can be a huge advantage for thriving at high school.

They might point towards multiple paths. 38 For example, a passion for writing can open doors in many careers including copy-writing, marketing and journalism. Similarly, an interest in mathematics could lead towards a career in data science, economics or even game design.
· 39 Picking a career that suits you from hundreds of possibilities can seem a bit overwhelming at first. 40 Resources like career fairs, mentor programmes and online internships（实习） can help you discover opportunities and make more informed decisions.
Once you’ve assessed this, the true career planning can begin!
A．Clear your potential.

C．So, should we stop planning

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 a summer vacation morning, I went to a bookstore with my mom. As we stepped through the entrance, a large sign immediately captured my attention. It read, “Books: Open Doors to New Worlds. Discover, Dream, Delight.” These words seemed to dance in the sunlight, leading me to explore all the wonders they promised.
When we made our way between the shelves, I spotted a beautiful book with a cover that was a masterpiece of colors and images. Unconsciously, my hand reached out to trace the outlines of the illustrations. I turned to my mom, my eyes begging for this book, but she shook her head with a sad expression. Our family was going through a tough time financially, and there was no room for such an expensive purchase. Disappointed, I dragged my feet and left.
The next day, unable to resist the temptation, I found myself back at the store. I slipped the book into my bag, my hands trembling with a mix of excitement and guilt. Just as I was about to leave, the store owner noticed me. I froze, my face flushing with shame as I was caught red-handed. He stared at me, from whose eyes I could feel the judgement. I wanted to disappear, but there was no escape. With a shaky voice, I admitted stealing the book, and promised to make things right. As I walked out, the sign seemed to scold me. It was a reminder that the world I entered by a wrong path was disheartening.
I walked home slowly, each step filled with fear. When I saw my mom, I burst into tears and told her the truth. She looked disappointed, but there was a glimmer of relief in her eyes that I was honest. She hugged me and said softly, “You made a mistake, but you had the courage to face it. Remember, there are always right ways to get what you want.” I nodded. After a moment of silence, my mom said, “Let’s make things right.”
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。
As we walked back into the store, my heart was so heavy. When I finished my summer job, the owner handed me the book with a smile.

写作示例：
As we walked back into the store, my heart was so heavy. However, encouraged by my mom, I gathered the courage and apologized to the store owner. Much to my surprise, the owner came up with an idea that he would give me the book as a reward for helping him in the store. Following his instructions carefully, I worked hard by dusting book covers and arranging books neatly on the shelves. As I was engaged in these tasks during the vacation, I came to realize the value of earning something through honest work.
When I finished my summer job, the owner handed me the book with a smile. I received the book with a sense of pride and gratitude. The owner patted me on the shoulder and offered words of praise. My mom was also proud of me for working diligently for my small dream. This scene made me even more aware of the significance of my efforts. As I walked out of the store, the sign seemed to smile at me. From that moment on, it was a constant reminder that a delightful new world should be unlocked through honesty and kindness.

A Live Speech on Strange Traditions of Oxford University
An upcoming live speech, combined with a reality show dedicated to exploring the strange traditions of Oxford University, will take place from March 1st to the end of May at the University Hall. Tickets are now on sale.
Ticket Deals:
One popular option is the online ticketing platform, where you can easily book and pay for your tickets using a credit card or digital payment services like PayPal. Mobile apps often provide quick access with exclusive discounts. You can also conveniently purchase tickets at the box office directly at the venue. Additionally, this event allows for phone orders. You can call and have your tickets mailed to you.
A Brief Look Ahead:
·A special appointment of time
If you’re hurrying to class at Oxford and you arrive at 9:05 am, don’t worry— you’re not late; you’re right on time. That’s because all university lectures and exams are always scheduled for five minutes past the hour. Before the birth of railways, the UK’s towns operated on their own slightly different time, and Oxford’s local time was five minutes and two seconds behind Greenwich Mean Time. Therefore, the additional five minutes today is a nod to the past.
·A formal dinner ceremony
Every week, colleges host a formal three-course meal called Formal Hall, where students are required to wear formal Oxford gowns（长袍）. This ranges from a waist-length, vest-like coat for undergraduates to full, knee-length gowns for graduate students. Some colleges have been known to turn students away for being even a few minutes late to Formal Hall.
Don’t miss this opportunity. Secure your tickets today and be part of this exciting event. Stay tuned for more updates and announcements.

15-year-old Cassandra Lin admires unexpected heroes. Inspired by a YouTube story about a Malawian boy who built windmills from bicycle parts to power his village, she created an award-winning recycling program in her hometown, Westerly, Rhode Island. This program, Project TGIF （Turn Grease Into Fuel）, encourages residents and local restaurants to recycle used cooking oil, which is then processed into biodiesel（生物柴油） fuel. The money earned from the program is donated to help heat the homes of needy people in Westerly. That’s exactly what this persistent tenth grader has done. For her, however, it’s just something she does with her friends after school.
To make the project successful, Cassandra and her team educated themselves on the biodiesel refining process, made their own biodiesel with proper safety measures, secured two separate youth seed grants, and persuaded community leaders to support the initiative. They identified a non-sustainable emergency heating program and the issue of pouring used fats and oils down into drains as key problems in their community. “All of our problems are snowballed together,” Cassandra said. She and her team puzzled over how to combine these problems to get a one-off solution. An article on collecting and recycling cooking oil settled the deal.
Cassandra’s leadership, clear-sightedness, logical thinking, and creativity were central to the success of TGIF. Her enthusiasm and energy have motivated many to join her cause. Despite her achievements, Cassandra stays down-to-earth, viewing her efforts as just part of her after-school activities. When reminded that she is featured on YouTube as a delegate（代表） to the Tunza International Youth Conference in South Korea, keeping a low profile, she responds “Am I ”
24．What is the aim of Project TGIF
A．To encourage locals to lead a healthy life. B．To provide science education for teenagers.
C．To reduce the use of cooking oil in Westerly. D．To find a green way to process used cooking oil.
25．What is the second paragraph mainly about
A．The article the teenagers published. B．The scientific basis of the recycling.
C．The financial problem the team faced. D．The practice of advancing the project.
26．What do we know from Cassandra’s response in the last paragraph
A．She is humble. B．She is doubtful.
C．She is aggressive. D．She is straightforward.
27．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．A Malawian boy that tops the Youtube channel
B．An intelligent tenth grader who changes her life
C．Grease to fuel: A schoolgirl’s wisdom warms the community
D．A school project bridging the energy gap illuminates the world

What should you do if your child steals another kid’s toy in a playdate or gets pushed by another kid at the park These are common behaviors for preschoolers who are still learning how to act around others and regulate their emotions. But for many parents, these moments are a struggle to manage.
“We feel on the spot when we’re in public,” says Celina Benavides, a developmental psychologist at Oxnard College in California. “We feel the judgmental eyes from other people, and that can shape how we parent and how children might respond to us.” So, how should parents address their kids’ challenging behaviors in public Benavides explains the reason why sometimes young children suffer meltdown is that they are stuck in a tough situation for them to handle properly. So try to distract them by stepping in timely and offering help they need.
For example, at a park, a boy comes up behind your 2-year-old daughter and hits her on the back of the head so that he can climb the stairs first, but his parents don’t say anything or apologize. What would you do “It’s always OK to simply remove your child from situations that don’t feel safe. But if you choose to engage, focus first on the harmed child. Then, move on to the child doing the harm, producing a situation to help the children repair the relationship in a healthy way.” says Benavides.
Assuming your 18-month-old son is at a children’s party. He grabs an older child’s shirt, and then takes a truck toy from his hand! The other child starts crying. Your son looks on, confused. Should the parents get involved in it “Actually, parents’ role is to help the kid figure out how to resolve the dilemma on his own.” Benavides says. He also recommends pausing before jumping in, and if you do need to participate, label what you’re seeing and ask questions, like “What if we try taking turns ” This allows children to come up with ideas themselves.
28．Why is parenting in public difficult
A．The kids’ misbehaviors are tolerated. B．It’s hard to regulate parents’ emotions.
C．Parents feel stressed by others’ judgement. D．Adults lack communication skills with kids.
29．What does the underlined word “meltdown” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Constant fear. B．Emotional outbursts.
C．Physical problems. D．Temporary setbacks.
30．What is suggested by Benavides when kids are in a dilemma
A．Blaming the child doing harm. B．Presenting children with choices.
C．Standing by without engagement. D．Getting kids away from the spot.
31．What does the text mainly talk about
A．How to parent sensibly in public. B．How to construct family relations.
C．How to develop kids’ good manners. D．How to get on well with other parents.
D
Shannon Brescher Shea’ s nine-year-old struggled with focus and following directions at home and at school. But after riding his bike, whether around the park or to school, he felt obviously calmer. “We call it moving meditation（冥想）,” says Shea, who is a family biking advocate and author in Maryland. “We saw how incredibly helpful biking was for his focus, emotional regulation and ability to follow directions.”
This experience isn’t unique. Research consistently shows that physical activity contributes to improving mental health. “Exercise, no matter your age, is the single best thing you can do for every organ in your body, including your brain,” says Allan Reiss, a professor and director of Brain Sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine.
And while any exercise helps, a growing body of research shows bicycling is among the activities that might provide even more of a mental health boost. Scientists aren’t yet sure why, but it might have something to do with all the functional skills cyclists use. “You need to maintain your balance and process a lot of information from your environment, like deciding whether you can squeeze past a tree or how hard you need to brake,” says Reiss, “Most importantly, you’ve got to coordinate（协调）, sense, process, integrate, regulate, and continually make decisions.”
According to Reiss, “Research suggests that physical activity like cycling likely encourages new cell growth in areas of the brain linked to memory and problem-solving, and can support stronger connections between neurons（神经元）, ultimately impacting memory and learning.”
Luckily, it’s not too hard to get on a bike for most people. You should focus on the fun. To ensure riders don’ t get tired too quickly （or too bored）, build in a fun stop rather than make the ride the single focus. Self-paced exploration and adventure are key to the ride. Cycling can multiply when it becomes a social project. In neighborhoods where bike lanes or other safe-to- ride pathways exist, organizing a group ride with friends might be just the ticket to less stressed, more relaxed individuals.
32．What does the author want to stress using Shea’s son’s example
A．Advantage of physical exercise regularly. B．Positive effect of riding on mental health.
C．Importance of leading a relaxing lifestyle. D．Possibilities that any disease can be cured.
33．Why does cycling boost mental health more according to Reiss
A．It needs better integrated coordination abilities.
B．Its outdoor exposure helps improve the mood state.
C．It needs repetitive movement to help calm the mind.
D．Its sense of freedom and exploration helps mind grow.
34．What is the function of the quoted statement in paragraph 4
A．Presenting experiments. B．Explaining concepts.
C．Providing evidence. D．Offering suggestions.
35．What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．Cycling with partners is recommended.
B．Nonstop cycling makes the most of the ride.
C．Purchasing tickets for a group ride is essential.
D．Bike lane construction is promoted by communities.

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 a summer vacation morning, I went to a bookstore with my mom. As we stepped through the entrance, a large sign immediately captured my attention. It read, “Books: Open Doors to New Worlds. Discover, Dream, Delight.” These words seemed to dance in the sunlight, leading me to explore all the wonders they promised.
When we made our way between the shelves, I spotted a beautiful book with a cover that was a masterpiece of colors and images. Unconsciously, my hand reached out to trace the outlines of the illustrations. I turned to my mom, my eyes begging for this book, but she shook her head with a sad expression. Our family was going through a tough time financially, and there was no room for such an expensive purchase. Disappointed, I dragged my feet and left.
The next day, unable to resist the temptation, I found myself back at the store. I slipped the book into my bag, my hands trembling with a mix of excitement and guilt. Just as I was about to leave, the store owner noticed me. I froze, my face flushing with shame as I was caught red-handed. He stared at me, from whose eyes I could feel the judgement. I wanted to disappear, but there was no escape. With a shaky voice, I admitted stealing the book, and promised to make things right. As I walked out, the sign seemed to scold me. It was a reminder that the world I entered by a wrong path was disheartening.
I walked home slowly, each step filled with fear. When I saw my mom, I burst into tears and told her the truth. She looked disappointed, but there was a glimmer of relief in her eyes that I was honest. She hugged me and said softly, “You made a mistake, but you had the courage to face it. Remember, there are always right ways to get what you want.” I nodded. After a moment of silence, my mom said, “Let’s make things right.”
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。
As we walked back into the store, my heart was so heavy. When I finished my summer job, the owner handed me the book with a smile.

As we walked back into the store, my heart was so heavy. However, encouraged by my mom, I gathered the courage and apologized to the store owner. Much to my surprise, the owner came up with an idea that he would give me the book as a reward for helping him in the store. Following his instructions carefully, I worked hard by dusting book covers and arranging books neatly on the shelves. As I was engaged in these tasks during the vacation, I came to realize the value of earning something through honest work.
When I finished my summer job, the owner handed me the book with a smile. I received the book with a sense of pride and gratitude. The owner patted me on the shoulder and offered words of praise. My mom was also proud of me for working diligently for my small dream. This scene made me even more aware of the significance of my efforts. As I walked out of the store, the sign seemed to smile at me. From that moment on, it was a constant reminder that a delightful new world should be unlocked through honesty and kindness.
