第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 37.5 分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
At the end of every term, Ms. Chen asks her students to write one “goodbye note” to a habit that held them
back. This year, one note surprised her. A student admitted that he avoided difficult tasks because he was afraid of
“wasting time” on the wrong method.
Ms. Chen didn’t argue. Instead, she showed him a simple chart: two small boxes labeled “fast feedback” and
“slow results”. “If you only choose tasks that feel certain,” she said, “you get slow results even slower confidence.
If you choose tasks that give you feedback quickly, you learn what works and what doesn’t.”
The student began applying the idea to vocabulary learning. Rather than copying long lists, he tested himself
after ten minutes, marked the words he missed, and returned to them the next day. Within two weeks, his scores
improved. More importantly, he stopped treating mistakes as evidence of failure and started using them as
directions.
By the time the term ended, he wrote a second note: “Goodbye, perfect plan. Hello, useful attempt.”
1. What did the student fear most at first
A. Being laughed at by classmates.
B. Spending time in an ineffective way.
C. Forgetting all the new words.
D Losing interest in English.
2. What did Ms. Chen suggest the student focus on
第 3页/共 16页
A. Tasks that offer quick feedback.
B. Tasks that require strict planning.
C. Reading as many lists as possible.
D. Avoiding mistakes in practice.
3. What change mattered most to the student according to the passage
A. He became faster at copying notes.
B. He learned more grammar rules.
C. He reinterpreted mistakes as guidance.
D. He won a prize at the end of term.
B
On a rainy evening, a supermarket cashier named Mira noticed an elderly man counting coins again and again.
The line behind him grew restless. Mira could have asked him to step aside, but she didn’t. She quietly reduced her
voice and said, “Take your time. I’ll stay with you.”
When the total still didn’t match, a teenager in a hooded jacket put a banknote on the counter. “It’s fine,” he
muttered, avoiding everyone’s eyes. The elderly man tried to refuse. Mira shook her head and told him, “You can
accept help without owing a story.”
Later, the teenager returned to the store. He expected Mira to judge him for not looking “polite” enough.
Instead, she thanked him and offered a paper bag of bread that would be thrown away at closing time. “You did a
good thing,” she said, “even if you didn’t know how to say it.”
The next week, the teenager began showing up regularly, not to buy much, but to carry groceries for customers
who struggled with heavy bags. No one announced it. No one filmed it. But Mira noticed that the line seemed
calmer on rainy evenings.
4. Why did Mira lower her voice when speaking to the elderly man
A. To hide the mistake she made.
B. To avoid embarrassing him.
C. To stop the line from moving.
D. To warn him about the price.
5. What does the phrase “owing a story” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Having to explain oneself.
B. Paying back money with interest.
第 4页/共 16页
C. Writing a note of thanks.
D. Remembering a past event.
6. What did the teenager expect when he returned
A. A discount on his next purchase.
B. A job offer from the store.
C. Criticism about his manners.
D. Praise in front of other customers.
7. Which statement best reflects the theme of the passage
A. Kindness can be quiet and contagious.
B. Rainy weather always changes people’s moods.
C. Teenagers dislike being seen in public.
D. Cashiers should control long lines strictly.
C
Brave young people have long traveled to learn about the world, but today’s “solo gap year” has taken on new
meanings. Social media makes distant cities look familiar, yet the first day alone in a foreign place can still feel
strangely silent.
Why do some teenagers choose to go without friends For many, the goal is not escape but training. Planning
routes, managing budgets, and solving small problems — missing a bus, ordering food in an unfamiliar language
— build a kind of competence that can’t be downloaded. Travelers often describe a shift: at first they seek views
and photos; later they begin paying attention to how they react when no one they know is watching.
Researchers have also noticed that short periods of chosen solitude may improve creativity and emotional
regulation. The key is “chosen”: being alone can be painful when it is forced, but empowering when it is part of a
plan.
Still, a successful gap year is rarely a year of isolation. Many programs now pair solo travelers with local
volunteering projects. Working with others gives structure to the day and turns a visitor into a contributor. In that
sense, the best gap year may be the one that teaches independence and connection at the same time.
8. What is the main reason many teenagers choose a solo gap year according to the passage
A. To become popular on social media.
B. To avoid school responsibilities.
C. To develop practical competence.
第 5页/共 16页
D. To travel more cheaply.
9. What shift do travelers often experience during the trip
A. From seeking attention to reflecting on themselves.
B. From volunteering to sightseeing.
C. From being confident to being afraid.
D. From writing plans to ignoring them.
10. What does the author mean by saying the key is “chosen” in Paragraph 3
A. Solitude works best when it is planned and voluntary.
B. Solitude is always better than group travel.
C. Solitude should be avoided by teenagers.
D. Solitude is only useful for creative people.
11. Why are volunteering projects mentioned in the last paragraph
A. To show that gap years are mostly about work.
B. To explain how solo travel can include connection.
C. To argue that programs should be longer.
D. To compare local and international charities.
D
Beneath city sidewalks, tree roots form partnerships that are easy to miss. In many urban soils, tiny fungi
attach to roots and create networks that move water and nutrients. Scientists call these relationships mycorrhizae.
For decades they were studied mainly in forests, but new methods have made it possible to examine them in parks
and along streets.
Urban environments are harsh: heat, compacted soil, and pollution limit what roots can reach. Mycorrhizal
networks can extend a tree’s “effective” root system, helping it access resources beyond the small volume of soil
around a planting pit. Some studies also suggest that these fungal partners influence how trees respond to stress,
although the mechanisms are still being debated.
Yet the networks are fragile. Construction can break the connections, and heavy use of chemical fertilizers
may reduce a tree’s need to cooperate with fungi. In response, several cities have begun testing soil-friendly
practices, such as adding wood chips and reducing unnecessary digging near root zones.
The lesson is simple: greener streets are not built only by planting more trees. They depend on protecting the
invisible systems that keep those trees alive.
第 6页/共 16页
12. What does the passage mainly discuss
A. Why city trees grow faster than forest trees.
B. Fungi-root partnerships help urban trees.
C. How to replace trees with grass in cities.
D. Why pollution has disappeared from urban soils.
13. Which challenge is NOT mentioned as a difficulty for urban trees
A. Heat.
B. Compacted soil.
C. Pollution.
D. Lack of sunlight under tall mountains.
14. What can be inferred about heavy use of chemical fertilizers
A. It may weaken cooperation between roots and fungi.
B. It strengthens the networks by feeding fungi.
C It prevents construction damage completely.
D. It is the only way to save city trees.
15. What is the best title for the passage
A. The Secret Life Under Streets
B. The History of City Planning
C. The Benefits of Chemical Fertilizers
D. The Most Dangerous Urban Animals

quizzes, flashcards, or explaining a concept to a classmate.

in understanding and provide new perspectives.

When my grandfather passed away, I inherited a small, scratched watch. It didn’t look valuable, and it

At first, I put the watch in a drawer. I told myself I was being ____22____: I didn’t want to lose it.

it reminded me to move forward ____28____.
Weeks later, a friend asked why I wore “that old thing.” I didn’t give a long explanation. I simply said it was a
____29____ from someone who once believed I could do hard things.
The watch is still scratched. Some days it runs a few minutes _____30_____. But I no longer try to hide its
第 8页/共 16页
imperfections. Instead, I see them as part of a story that continues. And when the ticking grows faint, I wind it
again, _____31_____ that what matters is not perfect accuracy, but the _____32_____ to keep going. In a world
that celebrates the newest devices, my grandfather’s watch teaches me a different kind of _____33_____. It says:

I used to believe confidence belonged to other people. In my class, there were students who could raise a hand
without trembling, who could read aloud as if their voices were made for attention. I was not one of them.
When our English teacher announced a storytelling contest, my stomach tightened. “Everyone will try,” she
said, smiling as if it were a gift. My classmates began discussing topics immediately. I kept my eyes on my
notebook, pretending to be busy.
That afternoon, while I was cleaning the blackboard, I found a crumpled card under the teacher’s desk. It was
a judging card from last year, with a sentence written on the back: “Speak to one person, not to a crowd.” I didn’t
know who wrote it, but the words felt like a quiet hand on my shoulder.
At home, I practiced in front of the mirror. The mirror offered no applause, only my own nervous face. On the
day of the contest, the auditorium lights looked brighter than usual. My hands were cold, and my mouth felt dry.
When my name was called, I stepped onto the stage and saw rows of blurred faces. For a moment, I wanted to run.
Then I remembered the card in my pocket.
续写要求：

【46 题答案】
【答案】Dear Mr. Huang,
I am Li Hua, a student from Class 1, Senior 2. I am writing to suggest establishing an Artificial Intelligence
(AI) club at our school. As AI is becoming increasingly important in many areas, I believe that many students will
benefit from learning more about it.
The purpose of the AI club would be to help students understand the basics of AI, including its applications
and future impact. This will give students an edge in the growing field of technology. The club could organize
activities such as programming workshops, robot-building competitions, and AI expert lectures to engage students
and spark their interest.
I hope you will consider my suggestion. Thank you for your time and support.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

【47 题答案】
【答案】
Paragraph 1:
第 15页/共 16页
I took a deep breath and searched for just one face in the audience. I noticed my English teacher, who was
sitting in the front row and giving me a supportive smile. Her smile made me feel that I was not alone and that I had
someone who believed in me. I focused on her face and began to tell my story as if I were speaking only to her,
ignoring the rest of the crowd. As I spoke, I found that my nervousness gradually faded away, and I felt more and
more confident.
Paragraph 2:
After the contest, I unfolded the card once more and understood it differently. The sentence “Speak to one
person, not to a crowd” not only gave me courage during the contest but also taught me a valuable lesson. It
reminded me that confidence comes from within and that I should not be afraid to express myself, no matter who is
listening. What matters is that I believe in myself and my abilities, which is what the card had been trying to tell me
all along.
