二、阅读理解
Time management is a crucial skill for students to boost academic performance and reduce pressure. It involves planning and managing the amount of time spent on specific activities. Effective time management enables students to accomplish more tasks in a shorter period, leading to more free time, better grades, and less anxiety.
A key approach to improving this skill is to understand and apply different time management methods. The table below illustrates some popular techniques and their primary focuses:
Method Primary Focus
Pomodoro Technique Breaking work into short, timed intervals (usually 25 minutes) followed by a short break to maintain focus, preventing distraction.
Eisenhower Matrix Categorizing (使分类) tasks based on their urgency and importance to prioritize what to do first, helping tackle academic challenges effectively.
To-Do List Writing down a collection of all tasks that need completion, providing a clear overview of responsibilities.
Time Blocking Fixed blocks of time for specific tasks or activities in a scheduling fixed “time blocks” for specific tasks or activities in a calendar.
By applying these methods, students can learn to prioritize assignments, avoid putting off tasks, and build a more balanced schedule between academic work and personal life. With long-term practice, they not only enhance learning efficiency but also develop regularly consistent behavior — ultimately achieving the two goals of efficient learning and physical-mental health.
21．Which method is most helpful for a student who can’t focus for long hours
A．Pomodoro Technique. B．Eisenhower Matrix.
C．To-Do List. D．Time Blocking.
22．What is the main purpose of the passage
A．Analyze study behaviors’ influence on grades.
B．Show time management-grades relationship.
C．Explore effective time management’s science.
D．Explain the importance of time management and techniques.
23．Where is this text most likely taken from
A．A research report on study methods. B．A student guidebook on learning approaches.
C．A portrait of a highly efficient manager. D．A popular blog post about study habits.
In December, Washington was covered in white when I pushed the door open in the early morning. I was filled with excitement and rushed downstairs. Eager to build a snowman, I got to work, but the snow was too loose. Not discouraged, I lay in the snow to create a snow-angel, feeling the sun’s warm rays on me.
Turning around, I noticed a couple in woolen overcoats on the sidewalk, their eyes fixed seriously on me. The woman frowned (皱眉), and the man slowly shook his head. Their silent, disapproving stares made me feel deeply guilty for having “nothing better to do.” Instantly, a wave of shame washed over me. I quickly pulled my coat tighter around me, hung my head in embarrassment, and rushed back home.
In the afternoon, I searched online: “why adults can’t play”. There, I discovered the research by psychiatrist Stuart Brown. He stated: “The true opposite of play is not work, which is a common misconception; it is depression.” Brown emphasized that the lack of play among the adults is a public health crisis. In fact, he firmly believed that adult play is not just a futile activity but is important for the very survival of the human species.
I also came across a study on monkeys in Bali. The research findings were quite revealing. The monkeys frequently engaged in playing with rocks demonstrated better problem-solving skills. Specifically, when it came to using rocks as tools to look for food, these playful monkeys did better than their less-playful others.
Later, when snow fell again, I built a snowman with a colorful scarf. A child smiled at it, and his mother praised. “How lovely!” No longer ashamed of the previous couple’s critical looks, I’d confidently say to anyone questioning me, “I’m making space for creativity and collecting inspiration for the future of humanity.”
24．What was the direct result of the couple’s reaction on the author
A．The author felt a deep sense of personal shame.
B．The author immediately stopped making the snow angel.
C．The author became embarrassed and defensive.
D．The author questioned the value of playing in the snow.
25．What does the underlined word “futile” mean in paragraph 3
A．boring B．pointless C．unusual D．unpopular
26．What can we learn from the research on monkeys in Bali
A．The monkeys preferred play over finding food.
B．It raised monkeys’ ability to recognize rocks.
C．It resulted in improved problem-solving skills.
D．It helped monkeys build more social connections.
27．What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．The act of playing is closely related to the development of humans.
B．The author is merely trying to account for his child-like behavior.
C．The author believes every form of play can result in major human achievements.
D．The author challenges the common view of what composes productive work.
A zero-energy technique called “cloud milking” is helping to restore forests damaged by fire and drought. The system collects moisture (湿气) from fog to support reforestation. It was first launched as a pilot project in the Canary Islands and has since been introduced in several other countries to produce drinking water and water crops.
Gustavo Viera, the project’s technical leader in the Canaries, explained that the islands have experienced severe desertification and major wildfires linked to climate change. After serious fires, the team looked for ways to send water to faraway mountain areas without building expensive facilities or using fossil fuels.
The EU-funded project, Life Nieblas, which copies how laurel tree leaves collect water from fog, uses plastic mesh (网状) nets placed along the path of the wind. As fog passes through, droplets gather on the mesh and drip into containers below, supplying necessary water for young trees.
Strong winds at first damaged the mesh structures. “We needed to solve the problem that the netting was weak, while reducing its influence on the environment.” said Viera. Inspired by pine needles — excellent at collecting water while letting air pass — the team created a stronger, eco-friendly design. The system is easy to reproduce and transport, and only needs energy during the first setup.
Head scientist Vicenc Carabassa noted that not all fog is suitable; the best is mountain fog, common in Mediterranean areas and northern Portugal. While the Canaries offer ideal test conditions, countries such as Chile and Morocco also have perfect environments and a history of collecting fog water.
The method already supplies drinking water and waters crops in Chungungo, Chile. In Cape Verde, fog collectors built with local wood produce 1,000 liters per day for crops and farm animals. In Gran Canaria’s Barranco del Anden valley, 35.8 hectares of land have been planted with trees again (with 15,000 laurel trees), achieving an 86% survival rate — double that of the traditional way of planting. “We have recovered the forest’s potential to collect carbon in the air.” Viera said, estimating that around 175 tons of CO2 are collected each year. With drought spreading across Mediterranean areas, Carabassa stressed that “every drop of water matters,” pointing out the great need to adapt to a future with less rainfall.
28．What is true about the “cloud milking” system
A．Its success in the Canary Islands led to its adoption in other nations.
B．It was specifically designed to support reforestation in the Canary Islands.
C．It is the first system ever created to produce drinking water from fog.
D．It primarily focuses on providing water for crops in mountainous regions.
29．How does the “cloud milking” technique work to capture moisture
A．By pumping groundwater to the surface in remote areas.
B．By using mesh to collect water droplets from fog.
C．By creating artificial rain clouds over forests.
D．By straining and purifying seawater for daily use.
30．What can be inferred from the success in Gran Canaria’s Barranco del Anden valley
A．The conventional planting approach is ineffective.
B．Every area can apply this reforestation method.
C．The “cloud milking” method can increase tree survival rate.
D．The forest has fully recovered its carbon-collecting ability.
31．What can be the best title of this text
A．Solving Water Shortages Globally
B．A New Method for Collecting Water from Fog
C．The Role of the EU in Fighting Climate Change
D．Using Fog to Restore Forests and Provide Water
Millions of Englishmen have stopped saying “thank you” and now say “cheers”. Although the average person will say “thank you” nearly 5.000 times a year, one in three tends to say “cheers” or “ta” instead. They assume “thank you” is not in fashion. One in 20 now says “nice one”, while the younger generation are more likely to use a “cool”. “Merci”, “fab” and even “gracias” were also listed as common expressions of appreciation.
Nick Thorogood, Professional Managing Director of Food Network UK, said: “When it comes to saying ‘thank you’, people will always find the best way to express thanks that fits them best. It’s actually quite interesting to see what ‘thank you’ means to different people. Also, a quarter of us show thanks through delicious food — which shows that taking time and making an effort to say ‘thank you’ still has a positive effect on us.”
However, it seems that sometimes displays of good manners are just surface-level. A huge 70 percent of those questioned admit they will say “thank you” to a person’s face without really meaning it. Half of the people questioned admit it is unnecessary to thank those closest to them, because they assume their family already recognize their thanks.
When spoken words won’t do, it falls to a nice text to do the job for most people, like SMS (short message service). A thank-you e-mail is also popular, while a quarter turn to social media to express thanks. A quarter of Englishmen say “thank you” with food, with 23 percent cooking a meal to show their appreciation to someone. Another 15 percent bake a cake. A third will still send a handwritten thank-you note — but 45 percent admit it’s been more than six months since they bothered to send one.
32．Why do many Englishmen stop using "thank you"
A．They are afraid of causing panic. B．They think it out of date.
C．They think it unnecessary. D．They don’t think it can impress others.
33．What can we learn from Nick Thorogood’s words
A．People in Britain don’t say “thank you” anymore now.
B．Most people in Britain say “thank you” only at meal time.
C．Half of Englishmen say “cheers” through food.
D．It’s positive to express thanks to others.
34．Which of the following is the main way people choose to express thanks
A．Sending handwritten notes. B．Using social media.
C．Sending text messages. D．Cooking a special meal.
35．What is the main idea of the passage
A．The younger generation in the UK prefers to use “cool” to express thanks.
B．It introduces the various ways English people express thanks.
C．The decline of traditional phrases of saying thanks.
D．People like to show thanks through delicious food with a positive effect.
It’s clear that not sleeping enough can make you feel moody and find it hard to think sharply. But did you know it can also influence your social life Lack of good sleep may make it harder to get along with others and even lower your eagerness to hang out with friends. 36 By improving your sleep, adjusting your daily behavior, and eating better, you can gain more energy and enjoy time with people around you!
Create a calm routine before bed.
A relaxing routine helps your mind and body know it’s time to rest. You can take a warm bath, drink herbal tea, read a book, or do light stretching before sleep. 37 Avoid using digital devices or watching TV right before bed — the screen light can keep you awake.
38
Lower the temperature to around 65℉ (18℃). When you sleep, your body cools down, so a cooler room can help you fall asleep faster. Also, pay attention to humidity (湿度). If the air is too dry or too damp, it can affect your sleep. A humidifier or dehumidifier may help — around 45% humidity is ideal.
Block out light.
Light exposure at night can trick your brain into thinking it’s daytime, which slows down the release of sleep-promoting hormones. 39 If you use a digital alarm clock, turn down its brightness or place it where you can’t see the light. These small changes help keep your bedroom dark enough to support healthy sleep patterns each night.
Choose a comfortable mattress (床垫) and pillow.
An old or uncomfortable mattress can cause back pain and make you toss and turn all night. If your mattress is more than 9-10 years old, consider replacing it. 40 When lying on your back, your ears, shoulders, and hips should be in a straight line. If your head tilts up, your pillow may be too thick; if it leans down, it may be too flat.
A．Your pillow matters too.
B．Control your bedroom environment.
C．Make some changes to your bedroom.
D．The good news is that there are solutions.
E．An uncomfortable bed often leads to poor sleep.
F．Being regular in your bedtime routine is important.
G．If your room isn’t dark enough at night, try blackout curtains or an eye mask.

Last Saturday morning, I entered my backyard garden with great 41 . I have a deep passion for cultivating flowers there. When I cast my 42 upon my dahlia seedlings, I was shocked to find 43 in their leaves. It was clear that some pests were causing trouble.
At first, I decided to try a method I had read about. I 44 reading in a gardening book and hearing from neighbors about a useful approach of spreading crushed eggshells around the plants. They claimed that the 45 edges of the crushed eggshells would stop the slimy invaders (入侵者). I gathered a collection of dried eggshells, crushed them, and made a white circle around the seedlings, like a small fence.
46 , the next morning, to my disappointment, I saw a fat slug right inside the circle, still feasting on the leaves. I looked closely and realized that the slug’s slimy body enabled itself to move 47 over the eggshells. This attempt didn’t work.
Then, I decided to experiment with coffee grounds. I collected some coffee from home and spread them near another seedling. But after a few days, that seedling started to wilt (枯萎).When I asked my mom, she 48 me that coffee contains caffeine, which can have a 49 impact on small plants.
Later, I attempted to make garlic spray. After mashing garlic in the kitchen, my hands had a strong and 50 smell. When I went to borrow garden shears (大剪刀) from my neighbor, they looked at me in a rather 51 way. I felt embarrassed and knew this wasn’t a practical 52 .
Finally, I had an idea. Instead of 53 against the slugs in a conventional way, I should find their natural enemies. I dug a shallow pit in the corner of the garden to hold water, which I hoped would 54 small frogs. I also hung a simple birdhouse on a tree. Every morning, I could hear birds chirping as they searched for food.
Slowly, the slugs disappeared. This experience taught me a valuable lesson. Gardening isn’t about fighting nature but living in harmony with it. It made me 55 the delicate balance within small ecosystems and improve my understanding of how to maintain a healthy garden.

Li Junyong is a 48-year-old native of Nanchang, Jiangxi Province. For years, he 56 (operate) a street food stand near a junior high school, selling fried chicken cutlets.
Known for his reliable schedule and friendly behavior, he has built a core following of students and locals who visit his stall daily. On the rare days when he 57 (notice) absent, regular customers often ask about his whereabouts.
While 58 (cook), he usually jokes with customers that “the chicken cutlet is free, 59 the plastic bag costs six yuan, which, if the wind blows away, I’ll deny I ever took your money!”, adding that “you can refuse me, but never refuse my delicious chicken cutlet.”
Netizens have joked that his 6-yuan chicken cutlet is less about the food and more about the 60-yuan’s worth of 60 (emotion) delight they get.
“My dream is 61 (ensure) every customer has a pleasant experience,” Li said. “I love what I do. I’m tired, but I’m happy. I can’t let those waiting in line down,” he added, though he has been getting only three to four hours of sleep for several days in 62 row.
One regular customer notes that while his chicken is delicious, it’s Li’s 63 (warm) and remarkable memory that 64 (true) stand out. “Every time I visit, he greets me with ‘Hey, old friend, you’re here!’ He even remembers my usual order — how many portions and what flavor I like.”
He lives by his own philosophy, and when other businesses and social media influencers gather at his stand to take advantage of his fame, he takes it all in good stride, saying that “My job is to locus 65 my own work and their presence is a way of showing support — for me, for Jingdezhen, and for Jiangxi.”

六、书面表达
67．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，
Years ago, when I signed up for the triathlon (铁人三项), the only goal was far from winning the championship — it was simply to avoid finishing last. I didn’t even hope to rank in the top half of the over-50 age group. What scared me most wasn’t losing, but others’ whispers and laughter. Most of all, I couldn’t bear the thought of my son Zane seeing his dad as an “ultimate loser.”
I’ve never been a sports fan, and I even find “aerobic (有氧的) exercise” unbearable. But that summer, my wife urged me to work out, and Zane came up with a surprisingly bold idea: “Let’s do the triathlon together! I’ll cheer so loud you’ll hear me anywhere!” I couldn’t say no to him, so a few weeks later, I signed up unwillingly.
At the base camp, panic washed over me as I looked around. Everyone was fully prepared: some had sharp muscle lines, and others wore professional triathlon suits. But me I’d grabbed a pair of sneakers randomly from the drawer, my goggles (泳镜) were second-hand, and my bike was so old that everything creaked except the bell. “Dad, your bike’s cool — it’s like a hero’s ride!” Zane whispered. A terrible thought still hit me: I might really end up last.
The race started with a 1.5 km swim in the icy lake. When the cold water reached my chest, I panicked — I’d totally forgotten cold water makes you breathe fast. My goggles fogged up, but I struggled to swim, choking on water several times. By the time I got to the shore, most players had already ridden off on their bikes.
Cycling, I held the handles tight to pedal hard, but my bike brakes (刹车装置) were rubbing all the way. As one rider after another roared past me, a 70-year-old man even shouted, “Come on! You can do it!” His encouragement felt more like embarrassment — even an old man was faster than me. “Dad, don’t look at them! Look at me!” Zane rode alongside the track, waving. “You’re doing better than yesterday’s practice!”
The final part was running, my least favorite. My sneakers were already out of shape and my legs felt as heavy as stones, so I could only drag them forward, maybe slower than walking. But I bit my lip to keep running. “Dad, one step at a time!” Zane called. What’s worse, an official ambulance followed — ready if I fell in a faint (晕倒). Yet I kept going, for Zane, and for the promise I’d made to myself.
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。
Finally, I crossed the finish line, 121st out of 121 racers.

But Zane interrupted my excuses: “Dad, you finished the whole race!”

4．B
【原文】M: Linda, I didn’t see your homework. Did you forget to do it

M: Oh, is it for your brother’s birthday I remember it’s coming up. Don’t worry, I can help if you like.
W: Yes! That’s great, thanks. I’ve already ordered the cake online, but I haven’t even started cooking yet.
M: I’m not a great cook, but I can definitely help you clean the apartment if you want. Just tell me what needs doing.
W: Really Huge help! The living room is a bit messy right now, so that’s the main thing.
M: No problem. I’ll come over an hour earlier to help you tidy everything up.

【原文】W: Mike! Long time no see! Hardly recognize you. What are you doing in this building

W: Great, thanks. I just gave a presentation on the new marketing plan in the conference room upstairs.
M: Oh, was that you speaking I actually caught the last part of it on my way out. I thought the structure and data were very clear and easy to follow — really impressive work.
W: Thank you! I really appreciate that, especially coming from you. Listen, I have a meeting at 1:00 pm that I need to prepare for, but I’ve got some time now. Would you like to grab a quick coffee in the cafeteria downstairs

【原文】M: Lena, I know you’ve been dancing for years. Did you start directly with Contemporary dance when you were young
W: No, not really. My mother put me in ballet classes at age six and I’ve carried that with me ever since. That’s really been my true foundation as a dancer.
M: I see. So what eventually led you to join a national dance academy Was it mainly your teacher’s recommendation
W: Not really, it came more from my own feeling. I needed to improve my skills further and reach a truly professional level. So it was a very personal decision.
M: That makes sense. Speaking of creating and not just performing, have you ever tried to plan the dance for a full show My friend tried it recently and found that it wasn’t just about teamwork; in fact, creating original work was far harder than he ever expected.
W: I completely agree with that. It’s a huge challenge to build a whole routine from nothing, with no one else’s steps to follow.
M: I can imagine. And on a different note, you’ve joined a lot of international competitions, right I’ve always heard they are great events for making professional connections and meeting people.
W: That’s true, you certainly can meet a lot of people there. But what impresses me most is that the atmosphere is just intensely competitive — everyone’s mainly there to win.

Sit down, everyone. And put your books away. We won’t need them. Today’s class is different. To start with, thanks for being kind to each other. I always notice everyone’s caring behaviour towards other classmates. And we can all learn to treat each other better. We all want to live in a happier world, right
I’m talking about being polite and how it makes life better for everyone. When I was your age, my dad taught me these simple rules. These rules improved my life in school and work, so I want to share them with you all as well.
First, never laugh at others when they make mistakes. Second, always let people speak and listen to them closely. And most importantly, treat others the way you want to be treated. No need to write these down. Instead, I’ll share a paper with these rules listed. Before we review the next rules, I’d like some of you to present a story with the class about a very polite person you know.

66．例文
Dear Jane,
Sorry to hear about the challenges you’re facing. It’s completely understandable that time zone differences and the limitations of virtual communication can make it hard to build meaningful connections.
To begin with, to tackle the time zone issue, I suggest deciding on a fixed meeting time that works for everyone, even if it’s just once a week. Secondly, you could use shared tools like Google Docs for joint work, so that no one is left out due to timing. What’s more, as for virtual barriers, why not start meetings with a fun ice-breaker question
These adjustments take time. I’m sure your group will gradually grow closer.
Yours,

Finally, I crossed the finish line, 121st out of 121 racers. I stood there, rooted to the spot, a wave of disappointment crashing over me. I felt like a complete failure, not just in the race but as a father who was supposed to be a role model. I approached Zane, stole a glance at him and whispered in a low voice: “I really thought I could do better. However, there was something wrong with my bike and goggles and even the sports shoes were of poor quality.”
But Zane interrupted my excuses: “Dad, you finished the whole race!” His eyes sparkled with genuine pride. “You faced each challenge with courage and determination, and that’s what makes you a true winner in my eyes.” His words hit me like a thunderbolt. I had shown Zane the value of perseverance, and that was far more important. A broad smile spread across my face, and I pulled Zane into a tight hug, filled with a new-found sense of pride and the resolve to take on more challenges in the future.
