During the summer, Hu Miaokun, a 19-year-old diagnosed with congenital (先天的) deafness, received offers from seven universities, making years of determined efforts.
Born in 2005 in a village in Hubei province, Hu lost his father at five and later lived with his grandparents after his mother remarried. Supported by his family, he was admitted to a school for hearing-impaired children.
“Adapting to life in a group was tough,” Hu signed. “When I first started school, everything felt frightening. I couldn’t hear anything, completely lost. 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.”
Hu recalls how his teachers used tailored techniques and tools to aid learning. These included multimedia lessons, hearing aids, speech recognition devices, and other assistive technologies.
After middle school, Hu attended a specialized high school in Wuhan. For students with hearing and speech impairments, learning English proved particularly difficult. While many of his schoolmates had some basic knowledge of the language and were exposed to English through songs, movies, and everyday conversations, Hu had no prior exposure (接触), making the task even more challenging.
“My key is reading, writing, and translation,” Hu signed. He created a detailed study plan and excelled. This year, Hu Miaokun took the national college entrance examination, or gaokao. His hard work paid off. Since May, Hu Miaokun has received offers from all seven universities to which he applied. Ultimately, Hu Miaokun decided to pursue product design at his dream school, Tianjin University of Technology.
With ambitions of becoming a 3D designer specializing in product modeling, he is now focusing on mastering various modeling software, such as 3ds Max and Adobe Illustrator. “I’m deeply thankful to my aunt 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. What was tough for Hu Miaokun to adapt himself to group life
A. Congenital deafness affected group life. B. Father’s death caused emotional pressure.
C. School rules disagreed with rural habits. D. Delayed admission created skill gaps.
25. Why does the author mention English learning
A. To recommend the key to learning. B. To show the barriers Hu encountered.
C. To highlight the importance of English. D. To promote daily interactions in English.
26. Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned about Hu Miaokun’s English learning
A. His schoolmates had prior exposure to English.
B. He relied only on multimedia lessons to master English.
C. He focused on reading, writing, and translation.
D. The lack of early exposure to English increases the challenge.
27. What can be a suitable title for the passage
A. “Deaf” Teenagers in a World of Silence
B. “Silent” but Not Silent: Hu Miaokun’s Sad Story
C. Hearing-disadvantaged Teen’s Journey to University Success
D. A Teenager’s Battle Against Silence: From Struggle to Survival

Urban green spaces, such as parks, gardens, and tree-lined streets, have long been recognized for their aesthetic (审美的) and environmental benefits. However, recent research highlights their significant impact on mental health, particularly in densely (密集地) populated cities. A study conducted by researchers at the University of Cambridge analyzed data from over 10,000 urban residents across 15 cities worldwide, revealing a strong correlation between access to green spaces and improved mental well-being.
The study found that individuals living within 500 meters of a green space reported lower levels of stress, anxiety, and depression compared to those without such access. Researchers attribute (归因于) this to several factors. First, green spaces provide opportunities for physical activity, such as walking, jogging, or cycling, which are known to reduce stress hormones and boost mood. Second, exposure to nature has a calming effect on the brain, reducing mental fatigue and improving concentration. Third, green spaces foster social interactions, creating a sense of community and belonging that can alleviate feelings of loneliness.
Interestingly, the study also revealed that the quality of green spaces matters more than their size. Well-maintained parks with diverse vegetation, seating areas, and recreational facilities had a greater positive impact than larger but poorly maintained areas. This suggests that urban planners should prioritize the design and upkeep of green spaces to maximize their mental health benefits.
Despite these findings, the study also identified challenges. In many cities, green spaces are unevenly distributed, with wealthier neighborhoods having better access than low-income areas. This inequality highlights the need for policies that ensure equitable (公平合理的) access to green spaces for all residents.
The researchers recommend several strategies to address these issues. These include increasing investment in urban green infrastructure, integrating green spaces into urban planning, and promoting community involvement in maintaining local parks. By prioritizing green spaces, cities can not only enhance mental health but also address broader environmental challenges, such as air pollution and climate change.
28. What did the study find about individuals living near green spaces
A. They had higher levels of stress. B. They preferred indoor activities.
C. They were less physically active. D. They enhanced mental health.
29. What does the underlined word “alleviate” mean in paragraph 2
A. Reduce. B. Increase. C. Ignore. D. Create.
30. How is the text mainly developed
A. By narrating personal experiences. B. By criticizing urban planning policies.
C. By comparing different types of green spaces D. By presenting research findings and their effects.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. Designing Effective Urban Green Spaces
B. The Multifaceted Benefits of Urban Green Spaces
C. Green Spaces: A Key to Enhancing Mental Health
D. Strategies for Equitable Access to Urban Nature
D
Cheese and red wine are basic diets over the festive period, and if you love red wine and cheese, a new study will come as music to your ears. Researchers from Iowa State University have found that drinking red wine and eating cheese can help to reduce cognitive (认知的) decline.
In the study, the researchers analyzed data from 1,787 adults aged 46 to 77, and asked them to complete questionnaires about their food and alcohol consumption (摄取). The results showed that cheese was the most protective food against age-related cognitive problems, even into late life. Daily consumption of red wine was also shown to improve cognitive function, while weekly consumption of lamb was shown to improve long-term cognitive skills. However, over-consumption of salt was found to increase the risk of cognitive decline.
Dr. Auriel Willette, who led the study, said: “I was pleasantly surprised that our results suggest that appropriately (合适地) eating cheese and drinking red wine daily are not just good for helping us cope with some diseases, but perhaps also dealing with an increasingly complex world. Although we considered whether this was just due to what rich people eat and drink, clinical trials (临床试验) at random are needed to determine if making easy changes in our diet could help our brains in great ways.”
While the reason for the link remains unclear, the researchers believe that cheese and red wine may protect some people from the effects of Alzheimer’s (阿尔茨海默病).
Brandon Klinedinst, an author of the study, added: “Depending on the genetic factors you carry, some individuals seem to be more protected from the effects of Alzheimer’s, while others seem to beat greater risk. Perhaps the silver bullet we’re looking for is improving how we eat. Knowing what that involves contributes to a better understanding of Alzheimer’ s and putting this disease in an opposite path.”
32. Which of the following increases the risk of cognitive problems
A. Taking in too much salt. B. Eating cheese properly.
C. Drinking red wine daily. D. Consuming lamb weekly.
33. What can be inferred from paragraph 3
A. Changes in our diet help our brains in significant ways.
B. The diets of wealthy people were not taken into consideration.
C. The study results need to be proved by more clinical trials.
D. Some diseases make our world increasingly complex.
34. What does Brandon Klinedinst suggest on fighting Alzheimer’s disease
A. Developing advanced genetic treatments. B. Focusing on improving dietary habits.
C. Increasing clinical trials for new drugs. D. Studying the diets of wealthy populations.
35. What is the study mainly about
A. Basic diets over the festive period. B. Possible reasons for cognitive decline.
C. Feelings of pleasant music to people’s ears. D. Effects of certain diets on cognitive decline.

Mom’s Decision to Spend More Time with Son
One sunny afternoon, young Timmy sat on the front steps of their cozy house, his chin (下巴) resting on his hands, eyes fixed on the street. His friends were playing in the park across the road, their laughter filling the air, but Timmy didn’t join them. He was waiting for his mom to come home.
Timmy’s mom, Mrs. Thompson, was a hard-working real estate agent (房地产经纪人). She was constantly on the go, showing houses to clients, attending meetings, and working late into the night. Most days, Timmy only saw her in the early morning rush before school or briefly in the evening when she was too tired to do much more than give him a quick hug.
That day, when Mrs. Thompson finally pulled up in her car, she noticed Timmy’s sad expression. As she got out of the car, Timmy ran up to her, his eyes lighting up for a moment. “Mom, can we play a game today Like we used to ” he asked hopefully. Mrs. Thompson looked at her watch and sighed. “Not today, honey. I have so much work to do. Maybe tomorrow.” Timmy’s shoulders slumped, and he quietly walked back to the steps.
That evening, as Mrs. Thompson sat at her desk, going through piles of paperwork, she couldn’t get Timmy’s disappointed face out of her mind. She realized that she had been so focused on her career that she was missing out on her son’s childhood. After much thought, she made a decision. She would take some time off work to be with Timmy.
The next morning, Mrs. Thompson called her boss and explained the situation. To her relief, her boss was understanding and gave her a week off. She then went to Timmy’s room with a big smile on her face.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。
She said, “Timmy, I’m going to take a whole week off work, just for us!”. ___________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ However, just as they were playing, Mrs. Thompson’s phone rang. _________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________

Dear fellow students,
Recently it’s common to see some uncivilized practices on campus such as littering and wasting resources. I, on behalf of the Student Union, would like to call on everyone to contribute to an eco-friendly campus.
Firstly, we should make recycling as easy as possible. A simple way to do this is bearing garbage classification in mind, throwing different kinds of waste into different dustbins.
Secondly, conserve water, electricity and paper. For example, turn off the tap and the lights when not in use, and reuse used paper on the back, thus reducing waste of resources.
Let’s make the campus a greener place! Only through joint efforts can we achieve this goal.
The Student Union

She said, “Timmy, I’m going to take a whole week off work, just for us!” Timmy’s eyes widened in surprise and excitement. He jumped out of bed and hugged his mom tightly. “Really, Mom That’s amazing!” They spent the morning planning all the things they would do together. They decided to go to the zoo first. As they drove to the zoo, Timmy chatted non-stop, his face glowing with happiness. Upon arrival, they rushed towards the panda enclosure, where they watched in awe as the cute pandas munched on bamboo. Timmy laughed out loud when one panda rolled over like a clumsy ball. Mrs. Thompson photographed these precious moments, feeling a sense of contentment she hadn’t experienced in a long time.
However, just as they were playing, Mrs. Thompson’s phone rang. It was one of her most important clients. The client had an urgent question about a house they were interested in buying. Mrs. Thompson hesitated for a moment. Looking at Timmy’s excited face, she made a choice. She silenced her phone and put it back in her bag. She turned to Timmy and said, “Nothing is more important than this time with you, Timmy.” They spent the rest of the day at the zoo, exploring every corner, and even had a picnic lunch on the grass. By the end of the day, both Timmy and Mrs. Thompson were tired but filled with joy.
