第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分)

A
Teaching teens life skills doesn’t just build independence (独立性), it also builds social-emotional learning (SEL) skills that teens need. Life is hard enough, so let’s help our teens feel confident by teaching them the life skills they need.
Life skill 1: How to do the washing
Start with the basics like how to tell different colours and read the labels (标签). Discuss why some clothing should be washed differently. Don’t forget to teach teens how to use a washing machine and dryer. Being able to do washing is a basic skill that helps build confidence. This relatively simple life skill helps teens learn self-awareness (自我意识), social awareness, and self-management.
Life skill 2: How to cook
Instead of making all the meals yourself, ask them to find a food list they’d like to make, and coach them through making it. Developing cooking skills increases self-awareness, decision-making, and relationship building. When teens learn life skills that allow them to help the family in personalized, independent ways, everyone wins.
Life skill 3: How to stay organised
Help them manage their workload with tools like standard phone apps to keep things organised. Reminders, notes, messages, photos, weather, clock, maps, mail, and voice memos can make a huge difference. Some teens do
better when they have detailed reminders like post-it notes or task lists on paper. The aim is to get teens understanding that staying organised is a practised skill and can improve their lives.
Life skill 4: How to manage time
Once mastered, time management helps a teen control their life. Discuss what time-table works best for your teens. Think about making a plan for what to do if you run out of time. Teach clearly, for example: Here is how you enter a task into the calendar or reminder app. This helps you avoid arguments later when your teens tell you they didn’t know how to do it.
1. Which skill helps teens build both self-awareness and social awareness according to the text
A. How to do the washing. B. How to stay organised.
C. How to manage time. D. How to cook.
2. What should parents do when teaching teens how to cook
A. Do all the cooking themselves. B. Just let teens explore on their own.
C. Guide teens through the cooking process. D. Provide only simple food lists.
3. What is the purpose of the text
A. To show teens will not get life skills without parents’ help.
B. To suggest mastering life skills is the key to success in life.
C. To explain life skills can only be learned during teenage life.
D. To stress learning life skills helps teens better face challenges.
B
In early 2020, I faced a great challenge with runner’s knee, a term that describes pain around the patellofemoral joint (髌股关节), right as the pandemic made outdoor exercise a popular escape for many. This condition, often caused by the overloading (超负荷) of the knee’s structures, left me unable to join running, as even short jogs resulted in days of pain.
The issue began in 2017 when I aimed to improve my 5 km running time, leading to a great increase in running practice. At first considering the knee pain as normal, I unknowingly risked serious damage. Luckily, before reaching that serious point, I sought professional help.
Eighteen months after my running stopped I started physiotherapy (理疗) with Fred Manning. The recovery process started from simple exercises and gradually increased in difficulty. This experience not only reduced my pain but also educated me on my injury, encouraging me to continue the therapy.
Expert advice suggests focusing on strengthening the lower body to stop runner’s knee. Flexibility (灵活性) is equally important, with post-run stretches (拉伸) recommended to keep the best form. Ehiogu, a physiotherapist, stressed the importance of the triple extension in the running form and recommended regular stretching to achieve this.
Recovery also included retraining my central nervous system to tell the difference between pain signaling damage and normal feelings from safe movements. Simple changes, like ensuring proper footwear and choosing softer running places, are also good to my recovery.
Years later, with strengthened muscles supporting my knees, I’ve managed to run further than before, overcoming former problems. This journey showed the importance of proper care for joint health, telling us that even long-time knee problems can be treated with the right way.
4. What caused the author’s runner’s knee
A. Falling during a run. B. Overloading the knee’s structures.
C. Running in broken shoes. D. A sudden accident.
5. What was the primary method used by the author to recover from runner’s knee
A. Taking pain medicine. B. Having a medical test.
C. Receiving physiotherapy. D. Stopping all forms of exercise.
6. What does “triple extension” refer to in the context of running
A. A type of knee pain. B. A running shoes’ design.
C. A physiotherapy machine. D. A form of stretch.
7. What is the text mainly about
A. The dangers of running.
B. The benefits of running on soft surfaces.
C. The author’s experience of treating runner’s knee.
D. The importance of wearing the right footwear for running.
C
Online friendships are a wonderful part of many people’s lives. Making friends with someone from a different part of the world can be a fun experience. You can find out more about their culture, and they can learn from you. For the traveller, having friends across the world can be a good thing.
With that said, online friends have their disadvantages as well. Some forms of digital communication — like texting — can be misunderstood because body language and tone (语气) of voice are absent. You can use emojis,
but they’re not always helpful. Taking offense (冒犯) to a kind message is common. It can also be harder to get the suggestion that someone doesn’t want to talk to you. Be patient and remember that miscommunications will happen.
When making friends online, you want to stay true to yourself and what you want out of a friendship. You can find friends who reflect (反映) your interests. It’s important to connect with people who will respect (尊重) you and reflect your values. When you’re finding friends whether online or in real life — it’s okay to be picky, so that you won’t easily get hurt. These are people who are here to support you. For them to know you well, you need to be real.
Friendships take time to develop. You want to look for somebody who is interested in you, and you are curious about them. Someone who is really interested in being your friend will ask you questions about your interests and your life.
When making friends with people you can’t see in person, pay attention to the words they use; they matter. You want to read what they’ re telling you and take those statements at face value. The stories and reflections they deal with their real-life friendships will show you what kind of person they are. If they’re true to you, it will come across.
When you find new friends online, it’s important to have high standards for them. You should be treated with respect and cared for in friendships.
8. What can be a disadvantage of online friendships
A. It’s hard to know about their culture.
B Digital communication can be misunderstood.
C. It takes a long time to develop the friendship.
D. It’s difficult to find friends with the same interests.
9. Why is it important to be picky when finding online friends
A. To save time. B. To avoid being hurt.
C. To show off yourself. D. To have more choices.
10. What can we infer from the fourth paragraph
A. Good online friendships take time and effort.
B. Online friends will always tell the truth.
C. It’s not necessary to have high standards for online friends.
D. You don’t need to be true to yourself when making online friends.
11. What can we draw from the text
A. Online friendships are not as valuable as real-life ones.
B. We should have lower expectations for online friendships.
C. It’s necessary to have face-to-face meetings with online friends.
D. Choosing the right online friends is important for a good experience.
D
Though the name “fire-ice” seems strange, natural gas is very real. It is a kind of natural gas that freezes (结冰) deep under the sea. Human-caused climate change is further warming the seas, possibly setting free more polluting methane (甲烷).
Methane makes up about 16% of global greenhouse gas emissions (排放). It is the second most important man-made greenhouse gas after CO2. It usually stays in the air for less than ten years. Meanwhile, methane can come from anywhere food or plants break down without oxygen. Methane produced by fire-ice is thought to have played a role in past climate change.
In the new study, an international team of scientists studied part of the ice on the coast of Mauritania, northwest Africa. They found that the movement of methane went more than 25 miles from the deeper part of the continental slope (大陆斜坡) to the edge of the underwater continental shelf. This might have happened during the warming days in the past 2.6 million years, when the frozen gas started to melt and the fire was partly separated. In the warmer days on the earth, methane might have been set free, called the manhole pit (坑).
“Our study shows that pits form because methane is set free from hydrates (水合物) and goes into the sea from the deepest parts of the continental slope,” said Richard Davis, a co-author of the study. “Scientists used to think that such hydrates weren’t weak to warming, but we’ve shown that some of them are.”
“This is an important finding. So far, research efforts have focused on the part of the hydrate stabilization zone (稳定区),” said Christian Berndt, another co-author of the study. “The new data clearly shows that ocean hydrates might be setting free much more methane, and we really have to get to the bottom of that to better understand the role of hydrates in the climate system.”
12. What does the second paragraph mainly talk about
A. Why methane is a problem. B. Where methane comes from.
C. What role methane has played. D. How methane pollutes food.
13. Which is the new finding of the study
A. Ocean hydrates might be setting free much less methane than thought before.
B. Pits are made because methane goes into the air from the deepest slope.
C. The methane moves to the deeper part of the continental slope.
D. Some of hydrates are believed to be weak to warming.
14. What does Berndt suggest doing in the last paragraph
A. Doing further research on fire-ice. B. Paying more attention to the sea.
C. Collecting the right data on methane. D. Learning about the role of climate system.
15. How does the writer develop the text
A. By referring to some books. B. By making comparisons.
C. By offering study results. D. By describing study processes.

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。
Everyone admires my father — he is the perfect gentleman. However, when I was young, sometimes I wondered how my father became a firefighter. It was then that I had many reasons. Every time I needed an injection (注射) at the hospital, I cried loudly and he always had an excuse to leave.
My father was afraid of my mother! Every time they disagreed with each other, and Mother became angry, Father stopped arguing and said he was sorry to Mother, even if Mother was wrong.
Once, I had a fight with a classmate. My nose was bleeding (流血). When my father took me to school, we met the classmate. My father just smiled and said “Good morning”. At that time, I was extremely disappointed with my father.
Later on, as I grew up, my impression of my father gradually changed.
I witnessed a building was on fire! Many firemen were trying to put out the fire. I noticed there was such a brave fireman rushing into the building again and again. How I wish he were my father! After the fire was put out at last, I was shocked: it was my father!
In 2020, my dad was facing a serious heart condition. He was unable to do his job. He suddenly fell ill and had
to stay home and rest.
He wanted to do something to keep himself busy, so he decided to volunteer at the local children’s hospital. My dad loved kids. It was the perfect job for him. He ended up working with children who were seriously ill. He would talk, play, and do arts with them.
One of his kids was a girl with a serious disease that paralyzed (瘫痪) her from the neck down. She couldn’t do anything, and she was very sad. My dad decided to try to help her. He started visiting her in her room, bringing paints, brushes and paper. He stood the paper up, put the paintbrush in his mouth and began to paint.

Dear Julia,
How is everything going In order to encourage us students to take more outdoor sports to build up our resistance, our school held a mountain-climbing activity in Zijin mountain last Sunday. I’m writing to share with you about it.
Firstly, before climbing the mountain, we did warm-up exercises. Besides, along the way, many of us took photos as well as enjoyed the beautiful scenery. What’s more, after reaching the summit, we sat on the ground and arranged some fun activities such as singing, dancing and playing games.
We not only gained happiness and health, but also experienced the spirit of cooperation and friendship, which is undoubtedly both meaningful and fun.
Yours,

【47题答案】
【答案】One possible version:
My father didn’t use his hands at all. All the while he would tell her, “See, you can do anything you set your mind to.” At the end of the day, she began to paint using her mouth. She and my dad became friends, and with my dad’s encouragement, she began receiving rehabilitation training. Soon after, the little girl was sent to another hospital where she could get better treatment. My dad also left the children’s hospital because he became ill again. Some time later my father recovered and returned to work, and in came the little girl who had been paralyzed.
Only this time, the little girl was walking. She ran straight over to my dad and hugged him really tight. She gave him a picture she had done using her hands. At the bottom it read: “Thank you for helping me paint and encouraging me to walk.” My dad would cry every time he told us this story and so would we. He would say sometimes love is more powerful than the doctor, and my dad — who retired just a few months after the little girl gave the picture — continued to visit the children in that hospital.
