In 1996, Marja-Liisa Olthuis, a linguist, faced a personal dilemma: whether to speak to her newborn daughter, Sofia, in Finnish or in her endangered native language, Inari Sámi. With only a few hundred speakers left and few chances for the next generation to learn it, she decided,“I will speak to Sofia in Inari Sámi.” That choice helped spark (引发) a long-term effort to revive a language close to disappearing.
By the 1990s, Inari Sámi had very few young speakers. “In 1986, only four children spoke Inari Sámi,” Olthuis recalls. Hope began to grow when the Inari Sámi Association opened Finland’s first “language nest” kindergarten in 1997. But with so few teachers available, the expansion was difficult. It became clear that adults needed to learn the language as well.
In 2007, Olthuis became the first person to earn a PhD in Inari Sámi. Instead of stopping there, she created a new language education program called Supplementary Aanaar Saami Language Education (CASLE). Its goal was to train non- native professionals who were committed to using the language every day and teaching it after completing the program.
The program brought visible progress. Thanks to CASLE graduates, two more language nests opened, creating a more stable base of young speakers. “Not long ago, we didn’t have speakers; now we even have foreigners coming to us to learn,” says Olthuis. Today, she estimates that around 500 people can speak Inari Sámi, and the number is still rising. In 2013, she published a book to share the methods behind this recovery effort with indigenous communities around the world.
“We don’t worry about losing Inari Sámi anymore,” says Olthuis. “We now have voices on the radio and in the media. We won’t lose it, because my friends and I work for it.”
24．Why did Olthuis choose to speak Inari Sámi to her daughter
A．Her daughter preferred it. B．It was easier than Finnish.
C．It was at risk of extinction. D．She disliked other languages.
25．What made expanding the first “language nest” kindergarten difficult
A．Insufficient funds. B．A lack of teachers.
C．No teaching materials. D．Few interested children.
26．What does the text suggest about Inari Sámi today
A．It is no longer spoken. B．It is still rapidly declining.
C．It is only used in ceremonies. D．It is showing signs of recovery.
27．Which can be the best title for the text
A．A Language Passed Down. B．Childhood Education in Finland.
C．Saving Inari Sámi from Disappearing. D．Challenges of Learning minority Languages.
Have you ever encountered someone who appeared confident before they started speaking Maybe they entered a room with a relaxed manner, a calm expression, and a clear sense of self-confidence. However, confidence isn’t something you’re born with. It is a skill that can be cultivated and one of the best ways to start is mastering your body language.
Your body constantly sends signals to those around you. The way you sit, stand and move reveals how you perceive yourself. So when you adopt confident body language, it not only influences how others perceive you but also, over time, can fundamentally change your internal state, making you feel more confident.
Several key aspects of non-verbal behavior contribute to this view. Firstly, gesture or posture is essential. You should maintain a straight back with relaxed shoulders, while avoiding crossed arms or eyes fixed on the floor. The pace of movement also matters. When you walk, move at a steady, natural pace: Rushing can make you look nervous, while smooth movements demonstrate calmness and self-control. Furthermore, eye contact is another crucial element of confident communication. Looking at the person you’re talking to shows that you’re listening and interested. You don’t have to stare continuously; occasional eye contact is sufficient. For those who find direct eye contact challenging, try focusing on the area near their eyes instead.
Specific gestures further strengthen the image of confidence. You should keep your hands visible and relaxed, rather than hidden in pockets, which appears more open. A handshake should be firm yet friendly, accompanied by natural eye contact and a smile, lasting about three seconds. Additionally, subtle (微妙的) gestures can boost interpersonal connection. Leaning slightly forward while someone speaks signals concentration. Mirroring, or gently adopting similar postures or gestures to your conversation partner, can promote a sense of connection and make the interaction feel more natural and harmonious.
In conclusion, confidence is not just a feeling inside; it’s something you can show through practice. As your body begins to reflect confidence, your mind will soon follow.
28．What is the author’s main purpose of writing paragraph 1
A．To compare confidence with talent. B．To show confidence can be developed.
C．To explain why people lack confidence. D．To describe different types of confidence.
29．Why does the author suggest “avoiding crossed arms”
A．It signals a lack of confidence. B．It slows down your movement.
C．It changes your internal feelings. D．It affects your opinions on others.
30．How does the author mainly organize paragraph 4
A．By describing a process in time sequence.
B．By explaining a cause and its various effects.
C．By comparing and contrasting two different gestures.
D．By stating a general idea and giving specific examples.
31．What can be conveyed from the last sentence
A．Our minds control our body language. B．Confidence is entirely a mental process.
C．Physical actions can shape mental states. D．The mind is more important than the body.
Researchers in Switzerland have integrated chips and sensors into socks to help people who suffer from diabetes symptoms (糖尿病症状) — long-term pain and a loss of feeling in the feet. About half of the world’s 560 million diabetes patients experience nerve (神经) damage in the lower leg. This damage affects the nerves and prevents the brain from receiving sensory signals from the feet. That not only makes walking difficult but also amplifies the risk of falling.
The smart sock uses painless electrical signals to provide personalized treatment. It works by sending signals to specific nerve pathways and restoring feeling in the feet. This could potentially remove the need for the strong painkillers usually used for this condition, while also boosting users’ confidence when they move around.
A research team from ETH Zurich is behind this breakthrough. Over the past five years, they have developed this solution using smart fabrics and AI. The sock has pressure sensors on the bottom to map how pressure is spread while walking. A small computer in the upper part of the sock then turns this information into electrical signals. Electrodes (电极) in the fabric send these signals directly to healthy parts of the wearer’s nerves, based on the pressure map. This allows the wearer to feel the ground and reduces nerve pain.
This makes it easier for users to notice where pressure is applied with each step, helping them feel more stable as they walk. The feedback from activating the nerves could also help prevent missteps and accidental falls.
The sock is not yet on the market. The team has scheduled a long-term study in the coming months. This study will determine if the sock can significantly improve patients’ walking patterns and if it can partially restore nerve function. Designed for daily use, the product will be thoroughly tested to see how well it lasts over time.
32．What does the underlined word “amplifies” in paragraph 1 mean
A．Increases. B．Shifts. C．Removes. D．Estimates.
33．What is a key advantage of the smart sock over traditional treatment methods
A．It uses stronger painkillers. B．It might focus on curing diabetes.
C．It requires no battery to operate. D．It might replace strong painkillers.
34．Which is the correct order of the working process of the sock
A．Map→send→transform→feel. B．Map→transform→send→feel.
C．Send→map→transform→feel. D．Transform→map→send→feel.
35．What is the research team’s attitude to the sock
A．Hesitant. B．Subjective. C．Careful. D．Emotional.
A few years ago, I put my first tomato seed in a pot on my balcony (阳台). 36 . At that time, I was like many people, living fast with food delivery and my phone. I had no idea what “growing” really meant. This is the truth of modern life: We want quick results but forget that life needs time.
I watered the pot every day. 37 . A tiny yellow-green sprout (新芽) came out. At that moment, I felt a warm light in my heart. It made me happy in a simple way. Psychology (心理学) tells us that caring for life and watching it grow can bring deep positive feelings.
38 . I started checking the weather. On sunny days I was afraid it might be thirsty; on rainy days I worried it might get too much water. This became a kind of “mindfulness”. I had to pay attention to the plant and its real needs. It pulled me away from stress and back to the present moment. I watched it grow from two leaves to four, from lying low to standing tall. Patience became something real, built day by day.
The most amazing moment was when the first small green tomato came out. 39 . When I picked it, I felt happy. It tasted very sweet. The special taste came not only from freshness, but from being part of the whole process. When you know how much time and care a fruit needs to grow, you feel thankful instead of just taking it for granted.
Now my balcony is full of plants. Some grow well, while some do not. But when my hands touch the soil, I feel calm. These quiet plants show a simple truth: All growth needs time, and all harvests need effort. 40 .
A．It gave me a sense of failure
B．I felt sad when it rained heavily
C．After that, my mornings changed
D．One morning, a small crack opened in the soil
E．As time went by, it slowly turned the color of sunset
F．In this small green space, I found my connection to the earth
G．I did it mostly out of curiosity, not because I expected anything

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。
There’s a certain magic in running. Throughout the majority of any given race, you’re in pain. Your lungs feel like an invisible hand is squeezing (挤压) them tight, and your muscles seem to have burning flames wrapping around them. Yet it’s just through this tough experience that a top runner is shaped.
My first cross-country coach told me that every race is run in three parts: first with the head, using strategy and patience; then with the body, using experience and training; and finally with the heart. I’ve carried this wisdom with me for hundreds of miles, but I’ll never forget the 5 km where it was the only thing that carried me across that finish line.
It was a course I’d run many times before. This particular race marked the season’s end, and my teammates hoped to set new personal records. Before the race, we walked the course, discussing goals and strategy. The cloudy, cool day was perfect for pleting our course walk, we gathered at the starting line to do some last-minute stretches. The air was thick with tension. Then the gun fired and we were off.
Instantly, I started running with my head. Weaving (穿行) between runners, I managed to work my way up in the first 400 meters. Joining a group of my teammates, I, together with them, began to take the lead, offering a “good job” or “keep it up” to every runner we passed.
The first mile always passed in a state of excitement. When the second mile began, I focused on my body, breathing in through my nose and swinging my arms. Tiredness approached, but I pushed it away. All around me, excellence was on display. Runners from other teams encouraged each other, offering understanding pats on the back. In those moments, we felt unbeatable.
However, reality pulled me back to earth. My old friend, tiredness, settled in my muscles as I neared the third and final mile. Sweat rolled down into my eyes. It was time to finish the race with my heart.
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。
I felt a sharp pain in my legs, but I ignored it and kept running.

Before I could catch my breath, my teammates surrounded me, cheering loudly.

【原文】
Nowadays, foreign visitors have been returning to Paris. And outdoor booksellers have also made their return to the neighborhood near Paris' famous Seine River. The tradition of selling secondhand books by the Seine River dates back to 500 years ago. Rachid Bouanou is a former sailor. He is now selling secondhand books to visitors as they pass by. The Paris city government recently approved Bouanou and 17 other new riverside booksellers. This brings the total number of booksellers along the river to 230. The city government permits the riverside spots to be used for five years. The booksellers do not pay rent, but they must stay open at least four days a week.
The Seine book stands are not only for tourists. Parisians also love to walk along the river and look through the booksellers’ offerings. Kubilai Iksel is a 27-year-old Parisian. He says, “It’s very encouraging that new sellers have arrived. It’s a sign that it’s not going to disappear. It’s one of the most wonderful things about Paris.”

66．The Scientific Spirit in Our Daily Lives The scientific spirit is everywhere in daily life. It’s checking facts before believing rumors, observing carefully when something puzzles us, and solving problems with logical thinking instead of blind guesses. For example, we test different study methods to find what works best.
Cultivating this spirit helps us develop critical thinking, stay curious about the world, and avoid being misled. It empowers us to face challenges rationally and make wise decisions. Ultimately, it shapes us into thoughtful, independent individuals who keep exploring and progressing.
67． I felt a sharp pain in my legs, but I ignored it and kept running. My mind went blank for a second, only the coach’s words echoing in my head — finish the race with your heart. I told myself not to give in, even when my lungs screamed for air and my legs felt like lead. Every step was a struggle, yet the thought of my teammates’ expectations and my own desire to push my limits kept me going. I focused on the finish line, a blurry red flag in the distance, and poured all my remaining strength into each stride. Finally, I crossed the line, almost collapsing to the ground.
Before I could catch my breath, my teammates surrounded me, cheering loudly. Their bright smiles and warm pats on the back instantly chased away my exhaustion. I felt a surge of pride and joy welling up in my heart — this was not just a personal victory, but a celebration of our joint effort. One of them handed me a bottle of water, and as I took a sip, I realized that the pain of the race had transformed into a precious memory. At that moment, I truly understood what the coach meant by running with the heart.
