On November 1,2025, I began a new journey of rediscovery through dance, performing in front of over 200
people at a school welcome party. It was a moment of reflection on how I had let social pressure change me and the
beginning of a promise to never turn my back on dancing again.
I was once a young girl who did endless ballet turns at home and in front of people. However, as I started
school, my relationship with dance began to change. Dancing was only “cool” if you took extra classes and became
skilled. Wanting to fit in and avoid judgment, I pushed my love for dance aside. I convinced myself that dancing
wasn’t something I could enjoy openly anymore.
On October 22, 2025, the dance team needed an extra person for a welcome party performance in one week. I
didn’t know what drove me to raise my hand. Part of me was hesitant, afraid of dancing in front of a potentially
judgmental crowd, but something inside pushed me forward. Maybe it was that young girl within me, the one who
loved to dance without fear, urging me to say “yes.” We were dancing to a fast-paced song, and I had only a week
to learn the dance while my teammates had been practicing for two months. Yet, I poured everything into learning it.
Practicing was anything but easy. The pressure of keeping up with my team weighed heavily on me. Thankfully,
my teammates were patient and supportive. Even stressed, I kept going, practicing every day for hours.
On performance day, anxiety filled my mind. Would they notice missteps or laugh at me But as I stepped into
the spotlight, a wave of joy washed over me, and I saw clearly how much I had let social pressure hold me back. I
realized it was never worth it to meet others’ expectations at the cost of your own joy.
24.What did the author think of dancing after she started school
A.Cheerful. B.Satisfying. C.Disappointing. D.Stressful.
25.What drove the author to volunteer for the performance
A.A strong desire to dance again. B.A sudden urge to prove herself.
C.The deep trust from her classmates. D.The need to escape from the crowds.
26.How did the author keep up with the team
A.She asked teammates for help. B.She used her past experience.
C.She devoted all her strength. D.She took extra dance classes.
27.What can we learn from the author’s story
A.Fortune favors the brave. B.Dream big and work hard.
C.Stay true to what you love. D.Rome wasn’t built in a day.
C
There are numerous online personality quizzes that claim to determine whether your left or right brain is more
dominant. Left-brained people are supposedly logical and excel at language and math while right-brained people
are more imaginative, emotionally intelligent and skilled with spatial reasoning. There’s just one problem: That’s
not how brains work.
Popular science enthusiasts sort of took this idea and spread it far and wide, and it’s become woven in popular
culture now and won’t disappear anytime soon.
Despite this enduring belief, there’s no such thing as being “right-brained” or “left-brained”. Whether you’re
someone who tends more towards creativity or logic has nothing to do with one hemisphere(半球)of your brain
being dominant over the other. But the actual science of how the two halves of our brains work together is
sometimes stranger than fiction.
The human brain is divided into two hemispheres, the left and right. In all vertebrate(脊椎的)animals, the
right hemisphere controls the left side of the body and vice versa. And scientists have long known, thanks to the
behaviors of patients who suffered brain injuries, that different areas of the brain do different things.
But many scientists struggled with this idea, because the very suggestion that the left and right halves of the
brain operate differently disrupted the idea that nature tends toward perfect symmetry(对称).
Work by neuroscientists(神经系统科学家)has revealed the importance of different hemispheres of the brain
for different activities. However, their research quickly saw some misinterpretations in the general public.
Some presumed creative people must be right-brained and logical people left-brained. It is proven that not
only is personality unrelated to the different halves of the brain, but people aren’t really right— or left-brained to
begin with. The idea that we have left-dominant people and right-dominant people, and that this is related to
personality, is categorically false. That’s never been supported in the neuroscience community. Neuroscientists don’
t believe that and never have.
What scientists learned is that there are really important differences between the left hemisphere and the right
hemisphere. It’s just that they have nothing to do with personality or whether cognitive strategy is more logical or
free spirited or creative. While researchers have shown the limitations of how the hemispheres of our brains
influence our lives, it’s not difficult to understand the appeal of such ideas. People are endlessly fascinated by
themselves and their friends, and the subtle differences in how people think about the world are really meaningful
to them. When you come up with an online quiz that tells us something about ourselves, we are drawn to that. It’s
irresistible. But you have to take it with an enormous grain of salt.
28.What do numerous personality quizzes online claim they are able to do
A.Distinguish between the two hemispheres of one’s brain.
B.Determine whether one is left-brained or right-brained.
C.Tell if one is more of a linguist or of a mathematician.
D.Figure out how one’s brain performs different tasks.
29.What does the underlined word “woven” in paragraph 2 mean
A.Scattered. B.Lifted. C.Integrated. D.Hidden.
30.Why did many scientists disagree that different brain areas do different things
A.It contradicts the assumption that the two hemispheres of the brain are symmetrical.
B.It dismisses the view that the universe has been evolving in a consistent manner.
C.It goes against the idea that the left and right halves of the brain work together.
D.It disrupts the idea that the right hemisphere of the brain controls the left side of the body.
31.What are we advised to do with an online quiz that tells us something about ourselves
A.Challenge its authority. B.Examine its originality.
C.Evaluate its popularity. D.Question its reliability.
D
A growing number of companies are building humanoid robots, and these mechanical look-alikes are starting
to appear in car factories and delivery places. Some businesses even promise robots for home use. Yet one big
question still has no answer: Why bother Why make a robot in a human shape when it could take any imaginable
form
The usual answer is that humanoid robots could, in principle, handle any physical jobs a person can. But that
“in principle” is doing a lot of heavy lifting. If you’ ve watched videos of these robots, you’ll get it— they’ re often
clumsy, awkward machines. Sure, the technology helping them stand and move has come a long way, but they’ re
still not as quick or graceful as humans. Meanwhile, robots built for a single job— like an arm shifting goods
between conveyor belts(传送带)— are now commonplace. Designed with one purpose, they do it really well,
unlike humanoid robots, which aim to do everything but often master nothing.
Another argument is that a human shape makes it easier for people to work with or control robots. This holds
some water, especially since many of these machines still need skilled human panies often avoid
admitting this, calling it a short-term phase, but the dream of fully independent, AI-powered humanoid robots—
ones that match or beat human workers— remains a long shot. For now, what we’ve got are human-shaped shells
guided by people behind the scenes. When Elon Musk introduced Tesla’s Optimus robot in 2021, he proudly
claimed it could teach, babysit, walk dogs, fetch groceries, or pour drinks. Yet those robots weren’t AI-driven, and
each was controlled by a hidden human. Notice a pattern These tasks—low-wage, service-oriented jobs—suggest
that, for now, humanoid robots just mask human effort with a shiny surface.
Some remote-controlled robots serve real purposes, like in deep-sea exploration. But those machines aren’t
shaped like humans—they look like capsules or small vehicles, and they work just fine. The idea that robots must
be human-shaped is a failure of imagination.
Yes, humanoid robots look impressive. They remind us of the fantasies in science fictions where machines
handle all difficult tasks. But today, they are mostly marketing tools, masking human labor. And a robot that doesn’
t truly improve life is missing the point.
32.What does the underlined phrase “holds some water” mean in paragraph 3
A.Provides sufficient evidence. B.Makes much sense.
C.Is partly reasonable. D.Is widely accepted.
33.Why does the author mention Tesla’s Optimus robot
A.To prove humanoid robots are better. B.To highlight its impressive technology.
C.To show it can replace human workers. D.To suggest it is in the charge of humans.
34.What is the author’s attitude toward humanoid robots
A.Skeptical. B.Optimistic. C.Neutral. D.Cautious.
35.What is the best title for the passage
A.When Humanoid Robots Miss Potential B.How Humanoid Robots Miss Goals
C.What Humanoid Robots Lack Now D.Why Humanoid Robots Fall Short
第二节(共 5 小题,每小题 2.5 分,满分 12.5 分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项
During your initial reading of material, do you ever go back and reread sentences or paragraphs Is it because
the material is too difficult to comprehend on the first reading or because you are asleep 36 You are napping
(打盹)or daydreaming. Halfway down the page you realize that you have no idea what you have read. 37
Thus, you go back and reread, not because you did not understand, but because you were not paying attention. This
type of rereading is called regression.
Napping and daydreaming are habits caused by lack of involvement with the material. Be demanding on
yourself and expect 100 percent attention to the task. Engage your mind. Visualize the incoming ideas, and relate
the new material to what you already know. 38 If your mind is truly occupied with the text, you will not be
able to think about Friday night or where to go on Saturday.
Regression is a crutch(拐杖)that allows you to make up for wasted time. First of all, become aware of when
and why you are regressing. 39 Say. “OK. I missed that paragraph because I was thinking of something else,
but I’m going to keep on going and start paying close attention.”
40 Good readers who monitor their own comprehension use it in the reading process. However,
regressing because your mind was asleep is a waste of time.
A.Both are to blame.
B.Probably the latter is true.
C.Don’t just read the words; think the ideas.
D.Spend a few minutes reading the material aloud.
E.Your eyes were engaged, but your mind was not.
F.Then, start denying yourself the right in order to break the habit.
G.Rereading because you did not understand is a reasonable fix-up strategy.

Since 1960, considerable scientific researches have been done on chimps in their natural habitats.
Astonishingly, scientists have found out that the social 41 of Chimps are very similar to humans. Chimps will
42 in certain ways, like gathering together to protect their land. But beyond the minimum requirements as social
beings, they have little instinct(本能)to 43 one another. Chimps in the wild seek food for themselves. Even
chimp mothers regularly 44 to share food with their children. Who are able from a young age to gather their
own food
In the laboratory, chimps don’t 45 share food either. If a chimp is put in a cage where he can pull in one
plate of food for himself or, with no greater effort, a plate that also provides food for a neighbor to the next cage, he
will pull 46 -he just doesn’t care whether his neighbor gets fed or not. Chimps are truly selfish.
Human children, 47 , are extremely cooperative. From the earliest ages, they desire to help others, to
share information and to participate in achieving common goals. The psychologist Michael Tomasello has studied
this 48 in a series of experiments with very young children. He finds that if babies aged 18 months see a
worried adult with hands full trying to open a door, almost all will immediately try to help.
There are several reasons to believe that the urges to help, inform and share are not taught, but naturally 49
in young children. One is that these instincts appear at a very 50 age before most parents have started to train
their children to behave 51 . Another is that the helping behaviors are not improved if the children are
rewarded. A third reason is that social intelligence 52 in children before their general cognitive(认知的)
skills, at least when compared with chimps. In tests conducted by Tomasello, the human children did no better than
the chimps on the 53 world tests but were considerably better at understanding the social world.
The core (核心) of what children’s minds have and chimps’ don’t is what Tomasello calls shared
intentionality. Part of this ability is that they can 54 what others know or are thinking. But beyond that, even
very young children want to be part of a shared purpose. They actively seek to be part of a “we”, a group that
intends to work toward a(n) 55 goal.
41.A.structures B.responsibilities C.policies D.behaviors
42.A.conflict B.offend C.cooperate D.discuss
43.A.help B.contact C.divide D.trust
44.A.manage B.decline C.attempt D.force
45.A.curiously B.unwillingly C.naturally D.carelessly

第二节 语法填空(共 10 小题,每小题 1.5 分,满分 15 分) 阅读下面短文,在空白处填入 1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
A famous Chinese idiom, yinuo qianjin (“a promise is worth a thousand ounces of gold”), tells such a story.
Legend has it 56 whenever Ji Bu made a promise and he would spare no effort to fulfill it. Such a virtue of
honesty earned 57 (he)a good reputation, and there was a saying widely spread: It is better to have a promise
from Ji Bu than to get hundreds of ounces of gold.
In ancient China, the currency consisted mainly of precious metals, 58 gold, silver and copper, so 59
(carry) a large quantity of cash was not only a heavy burden but could also put the owner 60 danger
because robberies quite often happened along the way.
Li Daquan, a successful merchant 61 friend proposed that a draft should be issued to replace the real
cash. This draft was not 62 (mere) a promise to pay— it was a 63 (declare) that an amount of coin
had been deposited and could be redeem ed (赎回) elsewhere.
Li 64 (ready) agreed and kept his word. The story soon got around, and Li’s honesty brought him a
flood of customers and a thriving business.
China selects national ethical role models every year. It manifests (表明) in a government award for people
known for their honesty and trustworthiness. Their stories 65 (broadcast) across the country to set good
examples and promote the virtue of honesty.

Jack looked out of the car window when he and his mom passed their old neighborhood. His fingers tapped
nervously on his backpack as his mom told him the moving company had found some lost boxes from their recent
move, and she could get them that afternoon.
A feeling of hope rose in Jack’s heart. He asked quietly if Big Dog might be in the boxes. Grandpa had bought
the treasured toy dog for him at the fair three years before. Though now eight years old, Jack still needed his old
friend back on the shelf above his bed, which had been empty since they moved.
His mom said she wasn’t sure. Her voice trembled as she added that the photo albums were confirmed lost by
the company— all those precious pictures of festive occasions, birthday celebrations, and family gatherings were
gone. Jack recognized that voice, the one that she used when trying to be strong. He knew what the albums meant
to her. She promised to check the boxes carefully before picking him up, giving his shoulder a comforting pat(轻
拍)。
All day at school, Jack found it hard to sit still, his eyes constantly darting(瞟) to the clock. During math
class, he missed Big Dog’s lovely eyes. At lunch, he recalled Grandma’s warm hug and bright smile from those lost
photos. On the playground, his mind wandered back to the joy of their whole family together-laughing and running
along the beach under a clear blue sky.
As the art class bell finally rang, Mr. Light announced, “Today you are free to draw anything you wish.” Jack
stared at the blank paper, memories rushing back. The sad face of his mom popped up and then an idea came to
him— maybe he could find a new way to save those memories.

the second week in July, known as the Running of the Bulls. This festival started in the Middle Ages when butchers
needed to get their meat to the market. Long ago, these meat sellers would drive the cattle in front of them through
the narrow streets to the marketplace. If you want to save money, come to Pamplona any of the other 51 weeks of
the year. You are sure to find plenty to do. Treat yourself to a five-star meal featuring local beef and, of course,
wine. And if you’ re interested in history, you’ll probably enjoy the Museo de Navarra, the local museum. The
building was a hospital in the Middle Ages, and it now houses a unique collection including everything from
Roman drawings to modern Spanish art. No trip to Spain would be complete without a visit to a church, so you’ll
want to save some time for the Cathedral of St. Mary. The outside was built in the 18th century, but the heart of the
church is from the later part of the Middle Ages. Now, who is ready to book their vacation of a lifetime

Recently, our English newspaper had a survey about how often middle school students skip breakfast. As is
shown in the chart, over 90% of the students skip breakfast once a week or more, which indicates that neglecting
the importance of breakfast is quite common among middle school students.
To address this, we put forward the following suggestions. Firstly, students should prioritize breakfast as a
vital part of their daily routine, as it fuels their energy and concentration for the day ahead. Preparing quick and
healthy options can save time and ensure they don’t skip this important meal. Additionally, cafeterias could offer
quick and appealing breakfast options, making it easier for students to grab a healthy meal on the go. Hopefully,
these measures enable students to start their day with the energy and focus they need to succeed.
