As the vibrant colors of autumn blanket the landscape, the best time to admire China’s stunning maple leaves begins. Among the country’s top leaf viewing destinations are four famous spots: Xiangshan Park, Qixia Mountain, Tianping Mountain, and Yuelu Mountain. While Xiangshan Park’s peak season is in late October, the another three southern locations reach their prime (鼎盛时期) for maple leaf viewing in mid-to-late November.
Located in the western suburbs of Beijing, Xiangshan Park is a former imperial garden known for its forested hills. The mountainside, covered with over 100,000 smoke trees, offers a breathtaking view as the red leaves create a dreamlike scene.
In east China’s Jiangsu Province, Nanjing’s Qixia Mountain is decorated with red maple leaves. With more than 10 varieties of red leaves and hundreds of centuries-old maple trees, Qixia Mountain’s autumn view has long been celebrated in poems throughout history.
Also located in Jiangsu is Suzhou’s Tianping Mountain, famous for its unique combination of strange rock formations, clear springs, and red maple trees, known as the “Three Wonders of Tianping Mountain”. The triangular-shaped leaves present a remarkable sight, with different colors appearing on the same tree.
Further south, Yuelu Mountain in Changsha, Hunan Province is both an iconic scenic spot and an outdoor “botanical museum” with nearly 1,000 species of plants. It is a top destination for maple viewing, as the red leaves in late autumn change the forest landscape into a breathtaking view with brilliant colors.

During the summer, Hu Miaokun, a 19-year-old diagnosed (诊断) with deafness at the age of two, experienced a life-changing moment: he received acceptance letters from seven universities. This achievement symbolizes more than a decade of strong will in a world of silence.
Hu, born in 2005 in a village in Macheng, Central China’s Hubei province, has faced various difficulties throughout his life—he lost his father at the age of five and moved in with his grandparents after his mother remarried.
Despite these difficulties, Hu’s passion for learning never faded. With the encouragement and support of his family, he went to study in a school specifically designed for children with hearing loss.
“Adapting to life in a group was tough,” Hu signed. “I had to get used to the new environment, follow new rules, and learn how to interact with others. But over time, these challenges became easier to manage.”
After completing middle school, Hu continued his education at a specialized high school in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei province. The school offered a broader curriculum, including English.
However, for students with hearing and speech disabilities, learning a foreign language can be particularly difficult. While many of his peers had some basic knowledge of the language and learned English through songs, movies, and everyday conversations, Hu had no previous learning, making the task even more challenging.
“For me, the key to learning English is through reading, writing, and translation,” Hu signed. He created a detailed study plan and stuck to it, learning to prioritize (优先安排) his tasks and manage his time effectively.
His hard work paid off. Since May, Hu Miaokun has received acceptance letters from all seven universities to which he applied, including Tianjin University of Technology, Beijing Union University, and Changchun University in Jilin province.
“I’m deeply thankful to my family and everyone who has supported me,” Hu Miaokun signed. “I will continue to work hard in my studies and, in the future, use my skills to inspire and assist others.”
24．Which of the following can best describe Hu Miaokun’s childhood
A．Delighted. B．Miserable. C．Delicate. D．Ordinary.
25．How did Hu Miaokun adapt to the group life in the school
A．He quickly made friends and felt at home.
B．He learned to deal with the challenges gradually.
C．He completely relied on his family’s support to adjust.
D．He focused on his studies and ignored the social aspects.
26．What was the biggest challenge for Hu Miaokun in high school
A．He had no experience in learning English before.
B．He found it difficult to manage his time wisely.
C．He struggled with the pronunciation due to his hearing problem.
D．He had to learn English through songs and movies, which he disliked.
27．Which is a suitable title for this passage
A．Hard Life for the Disabled B．Never Giving up on Your Dreams
C．Never Judging a Person by his Look D．Good Luck for Those Who Wait
C
In September, at least two elderly drivers were involved in police investigations (调查)following separate accidents. One of them, aged 77, was taken to a police station over an accident in the Toa Payoh area that led to the death of an 83-year-old cyclist. In another case, a 70-year-old driver’s car crashed into the back of a double-decker bus at a Hillview area bus stop.
Such accidents often draw hundreds of comments on social media, with netizens arguing over the value of having a driving age limit.
In Singapore, the statutory (法定的) age limit for taxi, private-hire car and heavy vehicle drivers is 75, but there is no limitation for those who do not drive for a living. Motorists aged 65 and above must be certified (证实) fit to drive by a Singapore-registered doctor once every three years in order to renew their licenses.
Drivers have to report their medical history to the doctor, who will check for signs of physical disabilities and hearing difficulty, among other things. A vision test and a basic mental test will also be done.
Supporters of a driving age limit say it will be good for road safety, but others call them out for making ageist stereotyping (偏见). Some also challenge the idea that elderly drivers are to blame for more accidents.
Bernard Tay, chairman of the Singapore Road Safety Council, suggested that elderly drivers, including himself, should voluntarily go for more medical checkups. The 75-year-old said seniors who are aware of any health problem that affect their ability to drive should not wait for the compulsory medical examination every three years. “You must take responsibility and go for regular medical checkups to ensure you are fit to drive,” he said. He also suggested that doctors have the responsibility to advise patients to stop driving when they develop medical conditions that make them unfit to drive.
28．Why does the author mention accidents in paragraph 1
A．To show seniors lack driving skills.
B．To warn seniors to follow the traffic rules.
C．To blame seniors are more likely to cause accidents.
D．To lead to the topic of whether seniors should go on driving.
29．What is the current requirement for elderly drivers in Singapore
A．They are required to take a driving test annually.
B．They must pass medical checkups to be permitted to drive.
C．They must retire from driving once they reach the age of 75.
D．They are not allowed to drive heavy vehicles after the age of 65.
30．What is Bernard’s attitude toward the checkups
A．Unclear. B．Doubtful. C．Approving. D．Unconcerned.
31．What conclusion can we draw from the article
A．Singapore has carried out a driving age limit for all drivers.
B．The public generally believe elderly drivers should have a driving age limit.
C．Elderly drivers’ road safety has caused public concern and hot discussion.
D．Elderly drivers are unfit to continue driving.
D
A major Chinese study has found that climate change is already causing profound environmental changes on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, turning the mountainous region into a vast grassland.
Scientists have been worried about the potential impact of a warming planet on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau for decades. The area—which stretches from the Himalayas to the Kunlun Mountains in western China—holds the planet’s third largest concentration of ice and snow after the polar regions.
A melt-off (融化) of the plateau’s glaciers (冰川) would send shock waves around the world. It would not only speed up climate warming and raise sea levels; it would also imperil the water resources of hundreds of millions of people, as the glaciers feed three of Asia’s largest rivers: the Yellow, Yangtze, and Mekong.
That process is already underway, according to China’s latest survey of the plateau. Yao Tandong, the leader of the project, told reporters on 18th August that the plateau is experiencing significant changes that will disrupt (扰乱) ecosystems and water resources across Asia.
“As global warming leads to glacier melt, Asia’s water tower is becoming warmer and wetter, causing imbalances,” added Wu Guangjian, a researcher at the Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research. “On the Tibetan Plateau, some small glaciers at lower altitudes are disappearing, a trend similar to what is happening in other parts of the world, such as Europe.
According to the study, the plateau has become far greener over the past 15 years, as glaciers and permafrost (永久冻土层) are replaced by grassland. The rate of the region covered by“high-quality grassland” and forest has increased by 6% and 12%, separately.
The expansion of green space has had some useful environmental effects, the study found. The plateau now absorbs more carbon dioxide than before, with researchers calculating that it now removes up to 140 million tons of carbon annually. The region’s biodiversity has also grown. Scientists found that a number of plants thought to be extinct had reappeared on the plateau, and rare animals including snow leopards and Bengal tigers appear to be making a comeback. In total, the study discovered 3,000 new species, including 205 new animals and 388 new plants.
32．What do we know about the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau’s glaciers
A．They have a significant impact on ecosystem.
B．They are becoming more abundant due to climate change.
C．They are a major source of drinking water for Europe.
D．They hold the largest concentration of ice and snow globally.
33．What does the underlined word “imperil” mean in paragraph 3
A．threaten B．manage C．save D．protect
34．What environmental benefit does the plateau’s becoming greener bring
A．It has resulted in the disappearance of rare animals.
B．It has caused a decrease in the biodiversity of the area.
C．It has reduced the number of plant species in the region.
D．It has led to an increase in the region’s carbon dioxide absorption.
35．In which section of a newspaper can you read this passage
A．Health. B．Science. C．Environment. D．Life.

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。
When I was very young, my mother thought it was necessary for me to learn to play a musical instrument, as most parents do nowadays. She asked me what kind of instrument I was interested in. I didn’t have any idea, but I thought playing the drums was cool and interesting. So she took me to enroll in a drum course in the Children’s Palace, where I spent nearly every Sunday morning for two years, practicing playing the drum.
As time went on, I went to middle school. I joined a band as a drummer in my middle school. I thought it would be fun playing the drum in a team and meeting new friends. At first it was easy because of my constant practice during the primary school, but a month later, it got more and more difficult. I was the only one who couldn’t keep pace with the other players. The band consists of students playing the violin, the piano, the guitar and so on. We were in a team; the music was beautiful, but it seemed rather challenging. So I was in low spirits when playing in the band, and the joy of playing music began to fade.
Our teacher, Ms Miller, noticed my struggle and singled me out to keep practicing while everyone else got to relax. With each missed beat, I felt ashamed as my teammates watched me fail so many times. Finally I got so tired of practicing that I no longer cared if it was done right.
“Are you giving up, Steve ” Ms Miller asked gently.
“Yes, I am,” I shouted. Ms Miller sent me inside the music room where I cried out. Then she came in and said, “Don’t be sad. I believe you can make it! ” She told me never to give up and left me alone to think about it. Alone in the music room, I recalled Ms Miller’s words and finally realized she was right. Quitting wasn’t just about giving up on myself; it was about abandoning my team. I couldn’t let my teammates down.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Then I decided to go on practicing. ____________________________________________________________
