写作 第一节 应用文写作（满分15分）参考范文
Recently our school carried out a survey about “Whether you’ll help the old when they fall down” among the students. Facing the question, the surveyed students hold different opinions.
The survey shows the students offering a positive answer account for 78.8﹪. Most of them think helping the elderly is a Chinese traditional virtue. On the contrary, 21.2﹪are unwilling to offer help. Some think they lack first-aid knowledge, which may even cause further injuries. Another reason may be that they’re afraid of being involved in unnecessary trouble.
In my opinion, it’s our responsibility to help the old, such as helping them by calling their family or 120. Give someone in need a hand, and we’ll have a harmonious society full of love.
写作 第二节 读后续写（满分25分）参考范文
As they were walking out, I heard they were all laughing at me. Their shrill laughing let me blush with shame. I felt so embarrassed that I couldn’t do anything but sit there, keeping my body unmoved and holding back my tears. What I wanted to do was just to make friends with them. I couldn’t figure out why they laughed at me. But one thing was certain, that is, I must remove myself from their presence. Therefore, I wasn’t ready to leave until they walked far away.
I was ready to go home when I heard a voice calling my name. As a newcomer here with no friends yet, I felt a little strange. Turning around, I saw Diane coming up to me with a warm smile on her face. She said she would walk together with me. What a kind and friendly girl she was, I thought. I was deeply moved so that I left all my embarrassment and sadness behind. On our way home, we talked a lot and I was surprised to find we had a lot in common. I also realized the true meaning of a friend.

W: I see. But I thought the hospital already has staff to do all that type of work.
M: Well, not all hospitals have the budget to hire so many staff. Therefore, they rely on volunteers to come in during weekends to give a hand.

Text10（快速入睡小窍门）
W: Welcome to Healthy Life. I’m Linda Robbins, in today’s program, we’ll discuss tips on how to fall asleep faster. Some people find it harder to fall asleep than others do. But experts say there are different things we can do to help us fix it. Here are some of them.
Morning light is important. According to Russell Foster, getting a good night’s sleep starts in the morning. He says it’s important to get much natural light as early as possible. This can help move our body clock to an earlier time so that we already feel tired when we get into bed later on.
Don’t nap after 4:00 p.m. While short naps help us feel less tired during the day, Foster says we shouldn’t nap for longer than 20 minutes before going to bed, or we might have difficulty falling asleep later.
Practice mindfulness. “Most people don’t have a sleep problem, but they have an anxiety problem,” Foster says, and he recommends practicing mindfulness as a way to relax before bed. We could try reading or doing some breathing exercises.
He adds that important conversations should be saved for when it’s light outside, because they could keep our mind active and stop us from falling asleep quickly.

When Dr. Emily Carter was a young girl, she was fascinated by the way water interacted with different materials in her backyard. She would spend hours watching how rainwater passed through the soil, and how certain plants seemed to grow better in wet. This early curiosity about the natural world’s processes stayed with her as she grew older.
After obtaining degrees in environmental science and materials engineering, Dr. Carter started to think about how to use her knowledge to address a growing problem: water pollution in urban areas. Stormwater runoff, which picks up pollutants like oil, chemicals, and debris from roads and parking lots, was a major contributor to the worse of local water bodies.
She decided to design a new pavement material that could act as a natural filter (过滤器). Her idea was to create a porous (多孔的) concrete that would allow rainwater to pass through while trapping pollutants. Through countless experiments with different aggregates (骨料), binders, and additives, and by studying the behavior of various microorganisms that could potentially break down the trapped pollutants, Dr. Carter constructed small-scale test areas in her city. These areas were equipped with sensors to monitor the flow of water and the levels of pollutants both before and after passing through the new pavement.
As the months passed, The results were remarkable. The pavement significantly reduced pollutants in stormwater runoff. Encouraged by the results, Dr. Carter cooperated with local companies and agencies, aiming to build a city-wide network of pollutant-filtering pavements. Her vision was to give cities a self-cleaning mechanism, using nature’s purification processes to solve environmental problems.
24. What can we learn about Dr. Emily Carter from the first two paragraphs
A. She was interested in urban development.
B. She had a strong desire to study engineering.
C. Her dream was to become a famous scientist.
D. Her childhood curiosity contributed to her later design.
25. Why did Dr. Carter decide to design a new pavement material
A. To deal with water pollution in cities. B. To promote the growth of urban plants.
C. To reduce the cost of road construction. D. To improve the condition of urban roads.
26. What was the key to Dr. Carter's pavement design
A. Installing advanced sensors. B. Using high-quality concrete.
C. Trapping and breaking down pollutants. D. Cooperating with construction companies.
27. What did Dr. Carter hope to achieve in the long run
A. To train more professionals in environmental science.
B. To make her pavement material well-known worldwide.
C. To establish a large-scale pollutant-filtering system in cities.
D. To win more awards for her outstanding environmental research.
C
Known for its role in Game of Thrones (《权力的游戏》), the dire wolf (冰原狼) went extinct over 10,000 years ago. On April 7, the US company Colossal Biosciences announced restoring this species via de-extinction — a historic first.
Time magazine said scientists studied fossils (化石) such as a 13,000-year-old dire wolf tooth and a 72,000-year-old ear bone and compared their genes to those of gray wolves to discover differences. They edited 14 key genes in gray wolf blood cells to match dire wolf traits, implanting modified cell’s nuclei (核) into surrogate (代孕) dogs’ eggs.
The babies, larger than gray wolves, now live in a preserve. They behaved like wolves by howling at two weeks old. But “we have not seen them attempt to hunt live prey”, Colossal’s Paige McNickle told Time magazine.
Some scientists have criticized the project. Professor Nic Rawlence from Otago University questioned using fossil DNA, calling it too damaged to use. “Ancient DNA is like if you put fresh DNA in a 500 degree oven overnight, it comes out like dust,” Rawlence told the BBC. He argued Colossal actually only created “a hybrid (杂交品种)” — a gray wolf with dire wolf features.
Colossal isn’t just reviving the dire wolf. Their list includes the woolly mammoth, dodo and Tasmanian tiger. Their mission goes beyond de-extinction: they also use the same technique to prevent species in danger from disappearing. For example, they brought back four red wolves, an endangered species, in the same way of restoring the dire wolf.
The Center for Biological Diversity predicts that 30% of the planet’s genetic diversity could be lost by 2050. Colossal CEO Ben Lamm argues that genetic engineering is crucial to prevent this loss. Yet some warn there could be consequences. Introducing new species can cause invasive species, while cloning often leads to health problems in animals and surrogates.
28. How did scientists try to restore the dire wolves
A. By obtaining DNA from living dire wolves.
B. By hybridizing different modern wolf species.
C. By studying fossils of dire wolf and surrogating.
D. By using complete DNA of dire wolves to clone.
29. What can be learned about the “restored” dire wolf babies
A. They exhibit some wolf-like behaviors.
B. They have already begun hunting live prey.
C. They are bigger in size than adult gray wolves.
D. They are completely the same as the ancient dire wolves.
30. Why does the author mention red wolves in the 5th paragraph
A. To illustrate the variety of revived species.
B. To highlight the importance of biodiversity.
C. To contrast with the dire wolf’s revival process.
D. To show Colossal’s broader conservation efforts.
31. What is the author's attitude towards the de-extinction
A. Opposed and critical. B. Objective and cautious.
C. Supportive and optimistic. D. Humorous and unconcerned.
D
You’ve probably heard the saying that the eyes are the windows to the soul, but now it turns out that they’re also connected to how we breathe.
Our pupils (瞳孔) constantly adjust to light, focus, and emotions. The most common fact is that they control how much light entering eyes: look into a mirror and shine a light into your eyes, and your pupils narrow. Doctors use this to check brain health — for example, unresponsive pupils may signal stroke. Pupils also shrink (收缩) when focusing nearby but expand during hard thinking or strong feelings. This process affects how we see things. Bigger pupils help spot dim (暗淡的) objects in side vision; Smaller pupils sharpen focus for reading. Because pupil size also reflects mental effort, scientists track it to study attention in psychology experiments.
For decades, these pupil reactions were the only ones that scientists were aware of. Now, my team and I have corroborated that breathing is a new one. Through a series of five experiments with more than 200 participants, we have proved that pupil size is the smallest at the start of breathing in and the largest while breathing out.
Although the changes in pupils are tiny — smaller than the pupil reaction to light but similar to that to mental effort or more intense emotions — they are in theory large enough to influence our vision. Meanwhile, different from other pupil reactions, this one originates only in the body and happens all the time. Just like the reaction of our pupils to light, breathing may also be used to detect early symptoms of brain-related problems.
What’s more, if our breathing affects how our pupils change, could it also shape how we perceive the world around us Our study opens the door to new insights on how natural body cycles shape our vision, as scientists are finding more and more proof that our brains don’t process external information individually — they combine signals from within our bodies, too. For example, information from our heart and stomach might also influence how we see the world around us.
32. What is the best-known function of pupils adjusting to light
A. To improve side vision. B. To detect emotional changes.
C. To check brain health condition. D. To regulate the amount of light into eyes.
33. What does the underlined word “corroborate” mean in paragraph 3
A. Imagine. B. Confirm. C. Question. D. Change.
34. What potential medical application is suggested by the author’s study
A. Reducing mental effort in daily tasks.
B. Treating stroke through pupil analysis.
C. Improving vision in low-light conditions.
D. Detecting early signs of brain diseases via breathing.
35. Which is the best title of the article
A. Breathing Affects Vision B. From Light to Mental Effort
C. Link Between Emotion and Vision D. Detect Health via Eye Movement

In today’s fast-paced world, effective time-management is essential for a balanced life. However, a widespread misunderstanding is that managing time means squeezing (挤压) in as many tasks as possible. The truth is that intelligent time-management allows you to make the most of your time without constantly feeling overwhelmed. Then, how can you make it
Set clear and achievable schedules. This is the basis of efficient time-management. 36 . By creating detailed plans, you can assign time precisely to tasks and track progress. A well-organized schedule also provides a sense of control and direction, avoiding time-wasting.
37 Smart time-management doesn't mean you have to handle everything alone. Cooperate with others to share workloads when you’re overwhelmed and ask for advice from supervisors, mentors, or experts in relevant fields.
Practice the art of prioritization. Figuring out what's truly important is key to smart time-management. 38 . For instance, you can rank your tasks according to their importance, the degree of difficulty or deadlines, and tackle the most crucial ones first.
Put regular breaks into your routine. Short breaks enhance concentration and prevent burnout. 39 Activities like light exercise or a quick walk during breaks benefit your both mental and physical well-being, thus enhancing your overall productivity.
Embrace flexibility. Life is full of unexpected twists and turns, and your time-management plans shouldn’t be changeless. 40
A. Seek assistance when necessary.
B. Spend less time on less important matters.
C. You need to adjust schedules and strategies accordingly.
D. Break down your long-term goals into daily or weekly tasks.
E. So, making room for short rests in your schedule is necessary.
F. There are some elements you can consider to prioritize your tasks.
G. You should always make efforts to complete all tasks on your own.

When people think of temple fairs in China, they often imagine Chinese dragon and lion dances. However, in Sihong, Jiangsu Province, Qiangan Dance was recognized as an intangible cultural heritage in Jiangsu province in 2023, due to its cultural 56 (significant).
A qiangan is a stick made of bamboo or wood, usually 57 (decorate) with copper coins (铜钱), bells and ribbons. Qiangan Dance performers use the qiangan to tap their shoulders, waists, legs and other body parts while dancing 58 the rhythm of local folk music.
Hu Bo, 50, is the president of the Qiangan Dance Association in Sihong County. Born into a family of folk artists, Hu has been practicing the dance for decades. 59 impresses him most is the Huaihe culture behind the dance. Sihong County, 60 is located along the Huaihe River, separates northern and southern China. Thus, the Qiangan Dance here also “combines the ‘softness’ of southern China and ‘boldness’ of northern China,”
However, it was hard to make a living by only relying on Qiangan Dance, according to Hu, “Many people here in Sihong perform the Qiangan Dance just for leisure.” 61 (pass) down the traditional folk dance, Hu formed his own team in 2013. Since then, he 62 (train) people interested in the dance, and now about 30 can perform Qiangan Dance on stage. They
63 (regular) perform at temple fairs and museums and take part in competitions. Hu also shares videos of these performances on Douyin, 64 (attract) many viewers.
“They encourage me to pass down and further develop Qiangan Dance, which strengthens my determination to bring it to 65 bigger stage,” said Hu.

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。
Over the summer I moved from Texas to Missouri. I was really nervous about starting a new school. I decided that I would be much happier in a new school if I made friends that were so-called “popular”. Getting in with the right group of people would make my life a whole lot better. I bought a new outfit, expecting the first day would be perfect.
On the first day of school, scared, yet eager to begin my new life, I walked up the stairs. My first class was geometry, but where was it I was standing in the hall looking confused, when a short, blond girl wearing glasses came up and asked, “Are you new You look lost. Do you want me to help you find your class My name is Diane. What’s yours ” Though she seemed a bit strange, definitely not the kind of person I wanted to be associated with, I decided to answer her anyway. I was, after all, lost. After exchanging names, I followed her up the stairs and down a hallway on the right. When we reached my room she said, “Well, here you are. It was nice meeting you. I hope I see you again and your day goes all right.” I said a quick thank-you and waved good-bye.
Once inside the classroom, I saw one big group of people huddled around someone who seemed to be telling some sort of story. I walked over and got close enough to overhear. All eyes were glued to the guy in the middle of the circle. I decided that this guy was popular.
A few minutes later the teacher told everyone to find a seat and get ready for the class. I managed to get one right next to the guy. I said, “Hi, my name is April and I’m new here.” He said coldly, “Hi, I’m Johnny.” That class dragged on and on. Finally, the bell rang. I turned to him and asked, “I’m not sure where my next class is, could you help me find it ” He looked at me and then said a quick NO, turned back to his friends, and walked out of the classroom.
