Sitting in the garden for my friend’s birthday, I felt a buzz (振动) in my pocket. My heart raced when I saw the email sender’s name. The email started off: “Dear Mr Green, thank you for your interest” and “the review process took longer than expected.” It ended with “We are sorry to inform you…” and my vision blurred (模糊). The position — measuring soil quality in the Sahara Desert as part of an undergraduate research program — had felt like the answer I had spent years looking for.
I had put so much time and emotional energy into applying, and I thought the refusal meant the end of the road for my science career.
So I was shocked when, not long after the email, Professor Mary Devon, who was running the program, invited me to observe the work being done in her lab. I jumped at the chance, and a few weeks later I was equally shocked — and overjoyed — when she invited me to talk with her about potential projects I could pursue in her lab. What she proposed didn’t seem as exciting as the original project I had applied to, but I was going to give it my all.
I found myself working with a robotics professor on techniques for collecting data from the desert remotely. That project, which I could complete from my sofa instead of in the burning heat of the desert, not only survived the lockdown but worked where traditional methods didn’t. In the end, I had a new scientific interest to pursue.
When I applied to graduate school, I found three programs promising to allow me to follow my desired research direction. And I applied with the same anxious excitement as before. When I was refused from one that had seemed like a perfect fit, it was undoubtedly difficult. But this time I had the perspective (视角) to keep it from sending me into panic. It helped that in the end I was accepted into one of the other programs I was also excited about.
Rather than setting plans in stone, I’ve learned that sometimes I need to take the opportunities that are offered, even if they don’t sound perfect at the time, and make the most of them.
24．How did the author feel upon seeing the email sender’s name
A．Anxious but expectant. B．Disappointed and angry.
C．Surprised but confused. D．Settled and relieved.
25．After talking with Professor Devon, the author decided to ________.
A．criticise the review process B．stay longer in the Sahara Desert
C．apply to the original project again D．put his heart and soul into the lab work
26．What can we infer about the author’s experience of applying for graduate school
A．He regarded the “perfect fit” program as his only research choice.
B．His calm response to refusal was closely related to his earlier experience.
C．He got accepted by all the three applied programs.
D．He had to change his desired research direction due to the refusal.
27．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A．A Perfect Graduate Program.
B．An Exciting Project in the Sahara Desert.
C．A Refusal That Led to New Opportunities.
D．A Professor Who Changed My Career
Fashion designers have a big say in what’s considered beautiful. They pick who’s in their shows and ads, shaping what’s celebrated as beauty. But this power also means responsibility — it can be used to leave people out or lift them up.
When I was young, fashion was my world. I pored over various fashion magazines at my local bookstore, desiring to be tall, thin, and have long, shiny hair to fit the ideal. I wanted to be like those models, so I stopped eating. It was a tough time; my eating disorder consumed me. It took years to break free from its control, allowing me to focus on my true passions.
For so long, the fashion industry has worked hard to set an ideal of beauty that celebrates thin, young, white, and able-bodied models as the ideal. It’s impossible not to be exposed to images of models that have been photoshopped to where there’s not a single spot in sight. This idea is everywhere, and it hurts people. Shockingly, around 91% of women are unhappy with their appearance. It’s sad that teens grow up in a society where they deny themselves.
There’s progress — models and musicians promote body positivity. However, the pressure to meet unrealistic standards remains. Changing these standards involves bravely celebrating diverse beauty. True inclusivity (包容) goes beyond appearances. It requires diverse decision-makers, photographers, and casting directors cooperating. Young designers often overlook this crucial aspect. Hiring plus-size or transgender photographers, diverse casting directors, or makeup artists who understand the importance of accommodating to various skin tones, is vital for an overall approach.
We aimed to redefine the “bikini body” standards. However, the goal isn’t for the consumer’s body to change but for clothes to accommodate all sizes. We need more fashion for everyone, no matter their size or where they shop. It’s our responsibility as designers to challenge this narrow beauty definition. My hope is for future teens to escape the pressures I faced, developing a fashion industry celebrating diverse identities.
28．What does the underlined phrase “pored over” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Read attentively. B．Compared thoroughly.
C．Sorted carefully. D．Recommended sincerely.
29．What is the impact of the initial beauty ideals set by the fashion industry
A．Contributing to self-confidence. B．Bringing individuality.
C．Focusing on true passions. D．Causing self-denial.
30．What can be inferred about true inclusivity
A．It encourages personal effort.
B．It calls for diversity and cooperation.
C．It focuses on physical appearances.
D．It satisfies traditional standards.
31．Which of the following will the author probably agree with
A．Customers will change their body shapes.
B．Future fashion industry will redefine teenagers.
C．Fashion should celebrate everyone’s uniqueness.
D．“Bikini body” standards should be strengthened.
So, you’ve finished that dull book. You sat through the movie you paid for, super bored. Stood in a long queue for that milk tea. Paid much for the luxury handbag — expensive nonsense.
What do these have in common They’re all examples of what economists call “sunk costs” (沉没成本): the price you’ve already paid — in time, money, effort, suffering, for an item or an experience — holds you to them. It’s a phenomenon we all recognize. It affects our behavior in ways that can be unreasonable. But we do it.
To avoid the situation, economists tell us to make decisions based mainly on future value, not past investment. If the ongoing cost outweighs the expected benefit, one should cut their losses and walk away. It hurts, yes, but this cold, clear logic protects us from going broke.
Yet, life is rarely so neatly calculated. This purely economic view raises difficult questions. Does the value of an experience lie only in its outcome, or also in the process A joyful journey with an ordinary goal and a painful one aimed at a splendid achievement, which one is more worthwhile
When it comes to education, the sunk costs theory doesn’t seem applicable (适用的). Parents and teachers pour immeasurable amount of investment — love, time, hope, money — into the growth of a child. Will the child turn out the way they expect No guarantee. If we view this through a strict cost-benefit angle, much of education can be written off as a “sunk cost.” Education is obviously different from the commercial world. A child’s growth cannot be planned like a business strategy; it unfolds like a unique and unpredictable story. We can’t dream his dreams or live his life; we can only build the stage, and light his path.
In education we have to hold onto this faith: everything we do for a child is worthwhile. Every act of love is like offering light and water to a seed; while we can’t see its roots grow underground, we know it. That child will blossom (开花) someday. Not all that has cost is sunk.
32．Which of the following best describes the examples in paragraph 1
A．Boring but beneficial. B．Interesting but worthless.
C．Meaningless and regrettable. D．Joyful and worthwhile.
33．What do economists advise us to do to avoid sunk costs
A．Focus on the outcome. B．Ignore the future losses.
C．Calculate the past cost. D．Pursue the hidden gains.
34．What is the writer’s attitude towards the investment in education
A．Unconcerned. B．Critical. C．Hesitant. D．Favorable.
35．Why does the author write the text
A．To promote a principle. B．To challenge a concept.
C．To correct a misbehavior. D．To present a phenomenon.
Make an escape room
With a little creativity, you can set up a fun challenge at home. An escape room is an exciting adventure. 36 While there are many escape rooms you can experience, you can also create many at home. Here’s how you can get started.
First, choose a theme to make the game attractive. 37 A theme helps get everyone excited before the game even begins, and it will help you guide your direction as you create your clues (线索).
Next, gather props to set the scene and design puzzles. Round up items like locks, small boxes, paper, pens, and decorations such as posters or drawings. 38
Now, create small challenges that lead players toward the final goal of escaping. For example, design a puzzle like: “I have legs, but don’t walk. I’m the place you sit and talk.” 39 That clue might help players find a key to a locked box. Then, players can unlock the box, which would hold the next clue.
Hide the clues strategically. Map the escape route: Start at the end and work backward, picking spots for each clue and challenge. You could choose to have a prize at the finish line, like mini pumpkin cookies or other small prizes. Finally, do a test run. Ask adults to be test players to make sure the steps work in order. 40 Then, at game time, welcome your players, set a timer, and go!
A．Write a backstory to immerse players in the theme.
B．The answer — a chair — could hide a clue under a mat.
C．When they are done, make whatever changes as needed.
D．You can offer clues if players get stuck, but limit them to keep the challenge.
E．Simple costume props like hats or flashlights can also add to the atmosphere.
F．In this adventure, you must solve a lot of puzzles to “escape” a room within a set time limit.
G．It could be based on a holiday like Halloween, a sports competition, or a classic treasure hunt.

九、书面表达
72．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。
Last year, I signed up for a tai chi performance at school, but my clumsy (笨拙的) movements led to repeated mistakes on stage, ending in an embarrassing failure. I was left feeling that everyone was watching — and judging — my every wrong move, which hit me really hard.
I tried to practice tai chi on my own, but found myself bored and aching from doing the same moves over and over again. After one week of effort, no progress could be seen — only growing frustration. How I wished I could perform as flexibly and smoothly as others.
This feeling stayed with me, until one morning during a walk in the park, an elderly woman caught my attention. She was practicing tai chi with slow, graceful movements that carried a sense of peaceful determination. It was the most impressive tai chi I had ever seen, and compared to hers, my own efforts suddenly felt like a complete disaster.
I sat down on a bench nearby, my head lowered. A moment later, her gentle voice broke the silence. “Young friend, you carry a heavy cloud over you today,” she said, not as a stranger, but with the kindness of a grandmother. “Would you like to talk about it ” Her unexpected warmth caught me off guard. “It’s about tai chi,” I began, and then I told her about my disappointing performance.
Hearing that, she smiled knowingly. “You remind me so much of myself when I first started tai chi.” She said, her voice warm with understanding. “ The secret isn’t in any single day, but in showing up — day after day, rain or shine. And time will do the rest.”
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。
Her words moved me deeply and my real tai chi journey began.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The day of my second tai chi performance finally came.

W: Isn’t that too much Your eyes are always bigger than your stomach.
M: Not this time.
W: If you don’t eat them all, you’re paying for this dinner.
5．C

W: Yeah, I’ve been taking medicine to deal with the pain. But I don’t like to keep taking it.

M: What about the rent
W: The good news is that it’s only four hundred and fifty pounds a month. Rents in that area usually reach up to six fifty a month, but Mr. Brown obviously wants to rent it out quickly.
M: Yeah, it sounds like a bit of a bargain. What about transport for Phil
W: Well, there’ll be plenty of buses, so no problem for him to use public transport, but unfortunately, there isn’t a shower in the flat, and that location is likely to be noisy, of course.

【原文】
W: Hello, everybody. As you know, “Clean the Beach Day” is taking place next Sunday. And I’m sure most of you are familiar with what needs to be done, the rules, and the schedule, but let me review it once more.
So, first of all, clothing: since it’s still quite cold in March, you’ll definitely need to wear a pair of good waterproof boots. Make sure you don’t come in your sports shoes as those will get wet very easily. Waterproof trousers and a good jacket are also advisable.
Now, I’m sure you remember that you don’t need to bring protective gloves and big plastic bags, as the school will provide you with those at the beach before we start cleaning. During the event, there’ll be water and orange juice available if you’re thirsty, but if you think you might feel hungry while we’re actually collecting the rubbish, then you’d better bring some snacks with you, as there won’t be any food at that time. After we finish, however, a light lunch will be offered, and we’ll gather together and have a pleasant picnic on the beach!
56．was reached 57．but 58．Rooted 59．as 60．a 61．beliefs 62．ensuring 63．its 64．Additionally 65．richness
66．flexibility
【详解】考查名词。句意：当你计划一项锻炼计划时，首先要考虑的是你希望提高的东西：心肺效率、肌肉力量或柔韧性。分析句意可知，形容词flexible“灵活的，柔韧的”需要改为名词形式flexibility“韧性，灵活”，作宾语。故填flexibility。
67．make up for
【详解】考查固定短语。句意：记得在整个运动过程中喝水，以补充因出汗而流失的水分。根据汉语提示“弥补”，可知此处填短语make up for，空前to是不定式符号，其后用动词原形。故填make up for。
68．physically and mentally
【详解】考查副词短语。句意：一年后，我可以实话实说了，它对我的身心都产生了巨大的影响。根据英汉意思对比可知，空处应填“身心都”，physically 为副词，意为“身体上”，mentally 为副词，意为“精神上”，二者用and连接构成副词短语，在句中作状语修饰动词短语had a huge effect on me，符合语法和语境要求。故填physically and mentally。
69．ever-growing

71．范文：
Dear Ms. Annette,
I hope this letter finds you well. Hearing that you are staying here during the winter break, I sincerely invite you to celebrate the Spring Festival with my family.
As the Spring Festival in 2026 falls on February 17th, we would be delighted if you could join us at home on Chinese New Year’s Eve (February 16th), when we will enjoy a big feast, stay up late, set off firecrackers and watch the Spring Festival Gala together. If you are interested, we would also love to have you help us decorate the house, from the paper-cuttings on the windows, to the Spring Festival couplets on the door and to the New Year paintings on the wall, which must be a brand-new experience for you!
What do you think My family and I all look forward to your company.
Yours,
Li Hua

Her words moved me deeply and my real tai chi journey began. Instead of pushing myself too hard, I started small — fifteen minutes each time, focusing on the basics before gradually increasing the time and challenge. There were days when my muscles ached and my motivation faded, and I almost quit. Yet, the old woman’s inspiring words always gently pulled me back. After three months’ practice, my balance and flexibility improved. The once clumsy movements began to flow smoothly. Gone was the frustration and nervousness of the early days. So when the opportunity to perform came again, I signed up without hesitation.
The day of my second tai chi performance finally came. I stepped onto the stage, my heart beating with hope and confidence. As the music started, my body followed: forwards and backwards, up and down, left and right. Each step was steady and fluent, just as I had practiced every day. I was completely absorbed in the feeling of harmony between my body and mind. When I finished, the audience remained still for a second, then broke into warm, lasting applause. I bowed and walked off the stage, knowing one thing for sure: persistence had quietly turned my struggle into strength.

Sitting in the garden for my friend’s birthday, I felt a buzz (振动) in my pocket. My heart raced when I saw the email sender’s name. The email started off: “Dear Mr Green, thank you for your interest” and “the review process took longer than expected.” It ended with “We are sorry to inform you…” and my vision blurred (模糊). The position — measuring soil quality in the Sahara Desert as part of an undergraduate research program — had felt like the answer I had spent years looking for.
I had put so much time and emotional energy into applying, and I thought the refusal meant the end of the road for my science career.
So I was shocked when, not long after the email, Professor Mary Devon, who was running the program, invited me to observe the work being done in her lab. I jumped at the chance, and a few weeks later I was equally shocked — and overjoyed — when she invited me to talk with her about potential projects I could pursue in her lab. What she proposed didn’t seem as exciting as the original project I had applied to, but I was going to give it my all.
I found myself working with a robotics professor on techniques for collecting data from the desert remotely. That project, which I could complete from my sofa instead of in the burning heat of the desert, not only survived the lockdown but worked where traditional methods didn’t. In the end, I had a new scientific interest to pursue.
When I applied to graduate school, I found three programs promising to allow me to follow my desired research direction. And I applied with the same anxious excitement as before. When I was refused from one that had seemed like a perfect fit, it was undoubtedly difficult. But this time I had the perspective (视角) to keep it from sending me into panic. It helped that in the end I was accepted into one of the other programs I was also excited about.
Rather than setting plans in stone, I’ve learned that sometimes I need to take the opportunities that are offered, even if they don’t sound perfect at the time, and make the most of them.
24．How did the author feel upon seeing the email sender’s name
A．Anxious but expectant. B．Disappointed and angry.
C．Surprised but confused. D．Settled and relieved.
25．After talking with Professor Devon, the author decided to ________.
A．criticise the review process B．stay longer in the Sahara Desert
C．apply to the original project again D．put his heart and soul into the lab work
26．What can we infer about the author’s experience of applying for graduate school
A．He regarded the “perfect fit” program as his only research choice.
B．His calm response to refusal was closely related to his earlier experience.
C．He got accepted by all the three applied programs.
D．He had to change his desired research direction due to the refusal.
27．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A．A Perfect Graduate Program.
B．An Exciting Project in the Sahara Desert.
C．A Refusal That Led to New Opportunities.
D．A Professor Who Changed My Career
Fashion designers have a big say in what’s considered beautiful. They pick who’s in their shows and ads, shaping what’s celebrated as beauty. But this power also means responsibility — it can be used to leave people out or lift them up.
When I was young, fashion was my world. I pored over various fashion magazines at my local bookstore, desiring to be tall, thin, and have long, shiny hair to fit the ideal. I wanted to be like those models, so I stopped eating. It was a tough time; my eating disorder consumed me. It took years to break free from its control, allowing me to focus on my true passions.
For so long, the fashion industry has worked hard to set an ideal of beauty that celebrates thin, young, white, and able-bodied models as the ideal. It’s impossible not to be exposed to images of models that have been photoshopped to where there’s not a single spot in sight. This idea is everywhere, and it hurts people. Shockingly, around 91% of women are unhappy with their appearance. It’s sad that teens grow up in a society where they deny themselves.
There’s progress — models and musicians promote body positivity. However, the pressure to meet unrealistic standards remains. Changing these standards involves bravely celebrating diverse beauty. True inclusivity (包容) goes beyond appearances. It requires diverse decision-makers, photographers, and casting directors cooperating. Young designers often overlook this crucial aspect. Hiring plus-size or transgender photographers, diverse casting directors, or makeup artists who understand the importance of accommodating to various skin tones, is vital for an overall approach.
We aimed to redefine the “bikini body” standards. However, the goal isn’t for the consumer’s body to change but for clothes to accommodate all sizes. We need more fashion for everyone, no matter their size or where they shop. It’s our responsibility as designers to challenge this narrow beauty definition. My hope is for future teens to escape the pressures I faced, developing a fashion industry celebrating diverse identities.
28．What does the underlined phrase “pored over” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Read attentively. B．Compared thoroughly.
C．Sorted carefully. D．Recommended sincerely.
29．What is the impact of the initial beauty ideals set by the fashion industry
A．Contributing to self-confidence. B．Bringing individuality.
C．Focusing on true passions. D．Causing self-denial.
30．What can be inferred about true inclusivity
A．It encourages personal effort.
B．It calls for diversity and cooperation.
C．It focuses on physical appearances.
D．It satisfies traditional standards.
31．Which of the following will the author probably agree with
A．Customers will change their body shapes.
B．Future fashion industry will redefine teenagers.
C．Fashion should celebrate everyone’s uniqueness.
D．“Bikini body” standards should be strengthened.
So, you’ve finished that dull book. You sat through the movie you paid for, super bored. Stood in a long queue for that milk tea. Paid much for the luxury handbag — expensive nonsense.
What do these have in common They’re all examples of what economists call “sunk costs” (沉没成本): the price you’ve already paid — in time, money, effort, suffering, for an item or an experience — holds you to them. It’s a phenomenon we all recognize. It affects our behavior in ways that can be unreasonable. But we do it.
To avoid the situation, economists tell us to make decisions based mainly on future value, not past investment. If the ongoing cost outweighs the expected benefit, one should cut their losses and walk away. It hurts, yes, but this cold, clear logic protects us from going broke.
Yet, life is rarely so neatly calculated. This purely economic view raises difficult questions. Does the value of an experience lie only in its outcome, or also in the process A joyful journey with an ordinary goal and a painful one aimed at a splendid achievement, which one is more worthwhile
When it comes to education, the sunk costs theory doesn’t seem applicable (适用的). Parents and teachers pour immeasurable amount of investment — love, time, hope, money — into the growth of a child. Will the child turn out the way they expect No guarantee. If we view this through a strict cost-benefit angle, much of education can be written off as a “sunk cost.” Education is obviously different from the commercial world. A child’s growth cannot be planned like a business strategy; it unfolds like a unique and unpredictable story. We can’t dream his dreams or live his life; we can only build the stage, and light his path.
In education we have to hold onto this faith: everything we do for a child is worthwhile. Every act of love is like offering light and water to a seed; while we can’t see its roots grow underground, we know it. That child will blossom (开花) someday. Not all that has cost is sunk.
32．Which of the following best describes the examples in paragraph 1
A．Boring but beneficial. B．Interesting but worthless.
C．Meaningless and regrettable. D．Joyful and worthwhile.
33．What do economists advise us to do to avoid sunk costs
A．Focus on the outcome. B．Ignore the future losses.
C．Calculate the past cost. D．Pursue the hidden gains.
34．What is the writer’s attitude towards the investment in education
A．Unconcerned. B．Critical. C．Hesitant. D．Favorable.
35．Why does the author write the text
A．To promote a principle. B．To challenge a concept.
C．To correct a misbehavior. D．To present a phenomenon.
Make an escape room
With a little creativity, you can set up a fun challenge at home. An escape room is an exciting adventure. 36 While there are many escape rooms you can experience, you can also create many at home. Here’s how you can get started.
First, choose a theme to make the game attractive. 37 A theme helps get everyone excited before the game even begins, and it will help you guide your direction as you create your clues (线索).
Next, gather props to set the scene and design puzzles. Round up items like locks, small boxes, paper, pens, and decorations such as posters or drawings. 38
Now, create small challenges that lead players toward the final goal of escaping. For example, design a puzzle like: “I have legs, but don’t walk. I’m the place you sit and talk.” 39 That clue might help players find a key to a locked box. Then, players can unlock the box, which would hold the next clue.
Hide the clues strategically. Map the escape route: Start at the end and work backward, picking spots for each clue and challenge. You could choose to have a prize at the finish line, like mini pumpkin cookies or other small prizes. Finally, do a test run. Ask adults to be test players to make sure the steps work in order. 40 Then, at game time, welcome your players, set a timer, and go!
A．Write a backstory to immerse players in the theme.
B．The answer — a chair — could hide a clue under a mat.
C．When they are done, make whatever changes as needed.
D．You can offer clues if players get stuck, but limit them to keep the challenge.
E．Simple costume props like hats or flashlights can also add to the atmosphere.
F．In this adventure, you must solve a lot of puzzles to “escape” a room within a set time limit.
G．It could be based on a holiday like Halloween, a sports competition, or a classic treasure hunt.

九、书面表达
72．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。
Last year, I signed up for a tai chi performance at school, but my clumsy (笨拙的) movements led to repeated mistakes on stage, ending in an embarrassing failure. I was left feeling that everyone was watching — and judging — my every wrong move, which hit me really hard.
I tried to practice tai chi on my own, but found myself bored and aching from doing the same moves over and over again. After one week of effort, no progress could be seen — only growing frustration. How I wished I could perform as flexibly and smoothly as others.
This feeling stayed with me, until one morning during a walk in the park, an elderly woman caught my attention. She was practicing tai chi with slow, graceful movements that carried a sense of peaceful determination. It was the most impressive tai chi I had ever seen, and compared to hers, my own efforts suddenly felt like a complete disaster.
I sat down on a bench nearby, my head lowered. A moment later, her gentle voice broke the silence. “Young friend, you carry a heavy cloud over you today,” she said, not as a stranger, but with the kindness of a grandmother. “Would you like to talk about it ” Her unexpected warmth caught me off guard. “It’s about tai chi,” I began, and then I told her about my disappointing performance.
Hearing that, she smiled knowingly. “You remind me so much of myself when I first started tai chi.” She said, her voice warm with understanding. “ The secret isn’t in any single day, but in showing up — day after day, rain or shine. And time will do the rest.”
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。
Her words moved me deeply and my real tai chi journey began.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The day of my second tai chi performance finally came.

W: Yeah, I’ve been taking medicine to deal with the pain. But I don’t like to keep taking it.

M: What about the rent
W: The good news is that it’s only four hundred and fifty pounds a month. Rents in that area usually reach up to six fifty a month, but Mr. Brown obviously wants to rent it out quickly.
M: Yeah, it sounds like a bit of a bargain. What about transport for Phil
W: Well, there’ll be plenty of buses, so no problem for him to use public transport, but unfortunately, there isn’t a shower in the flat, and that location is likely to be noisy, of course.
M: I don’t mind whether there is a shower as there is a bath, but I’d like a quiet place. So what about other places

【原文】
W: Hello, everybody. As you know, “Clean the Beach Day” is taking place next Sunday. And I’m sure most of you are familiar with what needs to be done, the rules, and the schedule, but let me review it once more.
So, first of all, clothing: since it’s still quite cold in March, you’ll definitely need to wear a pair of good waterproof boots. Make sure you don’t come in your sports shoes as those will get wet very easily. Waterproof trousers and a good jacket are also advisable.
Now, I’m sure you remember that you don’t need to bring protective gloves and big plastic bags, as the school will provide you with those at the beach before we start cleaning. During the event, there’ll be water and orange juice available if you’re thirsty, but if you think you might feel hungry while we’re actually collecting the rubbish, then you’d better bring some snacks with you, as there won’t be any food at that time. After we finish, however, a light lunch will be offered, and we’ll gather together and have a pleasant picnic on the beach!

【详解】考查名词。句意：当你计划一项锻炼计划时，首先要考虑的是你希望提高的东西：心肺效率、肌肉力量或柔韧性。分析句意可知，形容词flexible“灵活的，柔韧的”需要改为名词形式flexibility“韧性，灵活”，作宾语。故填flexibility。
67．make up for
【详解】考查固定短语。句意：记得在整个运动过程中喝水，以补充因出汗而流失的水分。根据汉语提示“弥补”，可知此处填短语make up for，空前to是不定式符号，其后用动词原形。故填make up for。
68．physically and mentally
【详解】考查副词短语。句意：一年后，我可以实话实说了，它对我的身心都产生了巨大的影响。根据英汉意思对比可知，空处应填“身心都”，physically 为副词，意为“身体上”，mentally 为副词，意为“精神上”，二者用and连接构成副词短语，在句中作状语修饰动词短语had a huge effect on me，符合语法和语境要求。故填physically and mentally。
69．ever-growing
【详解】考查形容词。句意：狂欢节的洪流载着我们穿越不断增长的人海，一路上都在翩翩起舞。该空需要一个形容词作定语，修饰名词sea，根据汉语提示可知，形容词ever-growing意为“不断增长的”符合题意。故填ever-growing。
70．arrival
【详解】考查名词。句意：他们一到，就发现罗的父母正热切地等着他们。设空处前有形容词性物主代词their修饰，应填名词形式作介词 On 的宾语；arrive为动词，意为“到达”，其名词形式为arrival，且为不可数名词。故填arrival。
71．范文：
Dear Ms. Annette,
I hope this letter finds you well. Hearing that you are staying here during the winter break, I sincerely invite you to celebrate the Spring Festival with my family.
As the Spring Festival in 2026 falls on February 17th, we would be delighted if you could join us at home on Chinese New Year’s Eve (February 16th), when we will enjoy a big feast, stay up late, set off firecrackers and watch the Spring Festival Gala together. If you are interested, we would also love to have you help us decorate the house, from the paper-cuttings on the windows, to the Spring Festival couplets on the door and to the New Year paintings on the wall, which must be a brand-new experience for you!
What do you think My family and I all look forward to your company.
Yours,
Li Hua
72．参考范文：
Her words moved me deeply and my real tai chi journey began. Instead of pushing myself too hard, I started small — fifteen minutes each time, focusing on the basics before gradually increasing the time and challenge. There were days when my muscles ached and my motivation faded, and I almost quit. Yet, the old woman’s inspiring words always gently pulled me back. After three months’ practice, my balance and flexibility improved. The once clumsy movements began to flow smoothly. Gone was the frustration and nervousness of the early days. So when the opportunity to perform came again, I signed up without hesitation.
The day of my second tai chi performance finally came. I stepped onto the stage, my heart beating with hope and confidence. As the music started, my body followed: forwards and backwards, up and down, left and right. Each step was steady and fluent, just as I had practiced every day. I was completely absorbed in the feeling of harmony between my body and mind. When I finished, the audience remained still for a second, then broke into warm, lasting applause. I bowed and walked off the stage, knowing one thing for sure: persistence had quietly turned my struggle into strength.
