Tina Leverton was 62 when she bought her first pair of ballet shoes. She said putting her feet into the soft leather was very emotional. She said:“I've waited a long time for it.”
A few days later, Leverton took her first ballet class after seeing an advertisement in a newspaper. It showed older women dancing in a class near Leverton's house. “As I came in the door, I found a big smile on my face. From the minute I started, I felt like coming home.”
Leverton had longed to dance as a child. Sadly, her parents couldn't afford ballet classes, for they were first-generation Indian immigrants, struggling to make a living in the UK. Her father was a train driver on the underground in London and her mother held two cleaning jobs. However, she harboured her dream of being a ballerina (芭蕾舞女演员).
At her present age, a grand plie lowering to the floor with bent knees seemed to be out of the question. It took her three months to master the move:leaping and landing on one foot. “I love the struggle and the challenge of learning something new. People in their 60s have a lot of self limiting beliefs:‘I can't do it.’‘I'm not good enough.’ And maybe they're not good enough. But it doesn't matter,” she said.
Ballet has been transformative. At a medical appointment a few months after Leverton's first class, a nurse measured her at 163 cm, half an inch taller than she had thought. She attributes (归因) the difference to improved posture. Her muscle tone has improved and her lower back pain has stopped. Dancing has also brought new friends. She met a group of older, more independent women and worked together towards a team award with the Royal Academy of Dance. And then, of course, there is the joyful feeling. “Ballet is all the therapy (治疗) I'll ever need,” said Leverton.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了蒂娜·莱弗顿在62岁时实现了她长久以来的梦想,她开始学习芭蕾舞,并从中获得了许多积极的改变的故事。

D.She had to hold two cleaning jobs.
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Sadly, her parents couldn't afford ballet classes, for they...struggling to make a living in the UK.”可知,她年轻时未能参加芭蕾舞课的原因是她的家庭负担不起。
√
26.What did dancing bring to Leverton
A.A team award.
B.Health and friendship.
C.Fame and wealth.
D.A well paid job.
解析:细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“At a medical appointment...also brought new friends.”可知,跳舞给她带来了健康和友谊。

A team at a US university trained an AI tool to examine 60,000 fingerprints to see if it could work out which ones belonged to the same individual. The researchers claim the technology could identify, with 75-90% accuracy, whether prints from different fingers came from one person.
But they are not sure how it works. “We don't know for sure how the AI does it,” admitted Prof Hod Lipson, a roboticist at Columbia University who led the study.
Graham Williams, professor of forensic science (法医学) at Hull University, said the idea of unique fingerprints had never been set in stone. “We don't actually know that fingerprints are unique,” he said. “All we can say is that as far as we are aware, no two people have yet to show the same fingerprints.”The results of Columbia University's study could have the potential to impact both biometrics and forensic science.
If, for example, an unidentified thumb print is found at crime scene A, and an unidentified index (食指) fingerprint at crime scene B, the two could not currently be forensically connected to the same person—but the AI tool could be able to identify this.
The Columbia University study will be published in the journal Science Advances on Friday. But a pair of twins in Cheshire might be ahead of everyone. Their grandmother Carol told the BBC her two grandchildren can open each other's mobile phones using their own fingers.
“They showed me on that day,” she said. “We were told they were identical when they were born but I can tell the difference between them as they've got older.” She claimed that her grandchildren can also bypass the handsets' facial recognition feature.
Fingerprints are formed before birth. Research published last year suggested the genetic process behind them may be similar to the way animals like zebras and leopards get their markings.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项关于人工智能识别指纹的科学研究,并说明了该技术的潜在应用和影响。
√

D.Fingerprints will change as people grow older.
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段中法医学教授格雷厄姆·威廉姆斯说的话可推知,研究表明实际上并不确认指纹是独一无二的,因此,人们的指纹可能不是唯一的。
√
30.What does the underlined word “identical” in paragraph 6 mean
A.Unique. B.Healthy.
C.The same. D.Cute.
解析:词义猜测题。根据下文“but I can tell the difference between them as they've got older”可推知,在他们刚出生的时候,长的一样,以至于当时不能区别,identical意为“相同的”,与C项意思相近。
√
31.Why does the author mention zebras and leopards in the last paragraph
A.To make an appeal to people to protect animals.
B.To tell the difference between people and animals.
C.To explain the formation principle of fingerprints.
D.To show the similarity of genes between animals and people.
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“the genetic process behind them...get their markings”可知,作者提到斑马和豹子是为了解释指纹的形成原理。
D
Flowers, candies, and hidden eggs are all traditions humans look forward to during festivals. But they can also ruin the day pretty quickly if your dog or cat happens to get into them.
Most pet owners know that chocolate can be very dangerous to cats and dogs. Calls to the Pet Poison Helpline rise sharply due to suspected chocolate ingestion around festivals. In fact, the calls concerning dogs that have been poisoned by chocolate increased by nearly 200% during festivals. So it's as vital as ever to keep baskets and candy bunnies away from pets.
“A common flower that veterinarians (兽医) warn cat owners against is lilies. Even eating a small amount of this flower can cause deadly kidney failure in cats,” Certified veterinarian Amanda Takiguchi, DVM, said in a statement. According to the Pet Poison Helpline, lilies are the most common toxin (毒素) to cats, making up 12.3% of all calls to the hotline.
“Many species of lilies are toxic to cats, so it's best to avoid lilies altogether. Owners need to be especially cautious around festivals when these flowers are more popular.”Amanda Takiguchi, DVM said.
Egg hunts are fun for everyone but could cause trouble for curious pets. Depending on the type of eggs you use, however, curious pets may get themselves hurt trying to partake in the fun.Hard boiled eggs are generally okay for cats and dogs, but the paint used to decorate the shells should not be consumed. If you use plastic eggs and hide treasures inside, it is especially important to ensure all of the eggs have been found by the end of your hunt so your pets don't discover them later down the road. It's also important to ensure they don't have access to the eggs or the treats hidden inside during the hunt.
“Curious cats and dogs could put themselves in danger by chewing or even accidentally eating these decorations,” veterinarian Rebecca MacMillan told a British pet-sitting network. “Fragile egg-shaped baubles could easily shatter, and small fluffy toy chicks are just the right size to be swallowed. This is why you should always keep any decorations out of reach from your pets.”
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了节日期间保证宠物安全的一些注意事项。

√
34.What will Rebecca MacMillan probably agree with
A.It's common to feed dogs hard boiled eggs.
B.It's impossible to keep pets away from eggs.
C.It's better not to put up any decorations during festivals.
D.It's unsafe to keep decorations within pets' easy reach.
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句和最后一句可知,根据丽贝卡·麦克米伦的观点,把装饰品放在宠物够得着的地方是不安全的。
√
35.Which of the following is a suitable title
A.Pet Safety During Festivals
B.An Unsafe Place

第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面的短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
You may be surprised to learn that one of your best wellness tools is actually a journal (日记). Here are five benefits of journaling.
Journaling helps to reduce stress.
Journaling can be a great pressure-releasing device when we feel overwhelmed (不堪重负的). Some research proves this. For example, in one study, patients, families, and healthcare workers from a hospital reported a reduction in stress levels after completing one journaling exercise. 36._________________________________________________ ___________________________________
F.In a follow up study a year later, those people still used writing to deal with their stress.
36.F 解析:上文列出研究事例,说明参与者完成日记后,压力水平降低,F项承接上文,符合语境,说明该研究的后续情况,其中“those people”指的是上文中的“patients, families, and healthcare workers”,stress与上文中的stress是同词复现。
Journaling provides a way to process emotions.
Your emotions have a way of popping up to the surface and affecting your actions. Journaling gives you the opportunity to process your emotions in a safe, contained space. Naming the specific emotions you're experiencing and accepting them reduces their strength. 37.____________________________________________________________________________________
D.That way, difficult emotions become less overwhelming and easier to manage.
37.D 解析:上文说明写日记可以让人安全地处理情绪,减少情绪的强度,D项承接上文,符合语境,说明这种情况的好处,其中“become less overwhelming”与上文中的“reduces their strength”呼应,emotions与上文中的emotions是同词复现。
Journaling encourages space from negative thoughts.
When negative or worried thoughts appear, it's easy to get caught up in their terrible stories. 38._________________________________ ________________________________________________________ This distance is formally called cognitive defusion (认知解离). The idea is that if your thoughts aren't serving you, you don't have to believe them.
G.Noting down your thoughts creates distance so as to consider them in a more objective way.
38.G 解析:上文引出负面想法出现的情况,下文对这种距离进行解释,G项承上启下,符合语境,说明记录这些想法的好处,其中“your thoughts”指上文中的“negative or worried thoughts”,distance与下文中的distance是同词复现。
Journaling can help you figure out your next step.
Writing down your thoughts and feelings about a situation is the first step in understanding how best to move forward. Maybe your anger is a sign that you need to set a strong boundary (界限) from someone. 39._________________________________________________ __________________________ Seeing your concerns, questions and emotions in black and white gives you a clearer picture of your needs.
C.Or your sadness is pushing you to reach out and strengthen your connections.
39.C 解析:上文以愤怒为例,具体说明记录下来的情绪与未来行动之间的联系,C项符合语境,以悲伤为例,说明应该采取的行动,与上文是并列的关系,其中sadness与上文中的anger呼应。
40.____________________________________
Think of yourself as a puzzle:You get to discover a different piece every single day. Journaling provides a much needed stop to help us rediscover ourselves. We are constantly growing. Journaling helps bear witness to these changes, making us know ourselves better.
A.Journaling deepens self discovery.
40.A 解析:空处是段落小标题,需统领段落内容,且需和其他段落小标题一样使用简单的陈述句。段落内容主要围绕发现自我展开,因此A项符合语境,表明写日记可以帮助自我发现,其中self discovery与本段中的discover和rediscover呼应。
A.Journaling deepens self discovery.
B.Journaling shines a spotlight on invaluable things.
C.Or your sadness is pushing you to reach out and strengthen your connections.
D.That way, difficult emotions become less overwhelming and easier to manage.
E.When we write, we learn our preferences, pain points, fears, favorites, and dreams.
F.In a follow up study a year later, those people still used writing to deal with their stress.
G.Noting down your thoughts creates distance so as to consider them in a more objective way.

第二节(满分25 分)
阅读下面的材料,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。
When he was around 5 6 years old, my brother Ted, who is four years younger to me, suddenly found his legs unable to move one night. What followed was one of the hardest times of my parents' life. Months passed with them meeting various doctors, visiting different hospitals, and knocking at the doorstep of every possible chance—all the time with Ted in their arms, since he wasn't able to walk on his own anymore.
There were doubts of permanent paralysis (瘫痪)—the very mention of which was enough to break us down. From finding it extremely painful to walk, to not being able to get up on his own, and to not being able to stand at all, Ted's problem was worsening day by day. Most surprisingly, all this while, he was as strong as, perhaps, only children can be in such difficult times.
During this period, it was not unusual for my mother to have sudden breakdowns. Once, she burst into tears while watching Ted playing joyfully. He wiped off her tears, and said, “Don't cry, mummy. See, I can stand and even run on my own!” Saying this, he tried to get up, stood on shaking legs for just about a few microseconds and fell down, only to be safely caught in the arms of my mom, who hugged him dearly and cried some more.
This was the most heart breaking thing that I had ever experienced. But it was also a powerful one for the simple fact that it was my little brother who taught us what life was all about—HOPE.
Witnessing my brother's strong will and positive attitude inspired me as well. As a brother, I could not stand by doing nothing at all. Hope was burning in my heart when I had the idea to train my brother to walk again. I firmly believe Ted could stand up and walk as he used to. Whenever school was over, I would put Ted into a pushchair and tell my mom that we'd just go to the park.

One possible version:
In the park, I would put Ted one meter away from me, encouraging him to walk. His initial attempts were shaky, and he would often fall in my arms after just a couple of steps. I kept telling him that each small step was a victory. During that tough time, we had gone through countless days of helplessness, breakdowns and despair. We celebrated every attempt and every inch forward, becoming full of hope for the future. I knew that this was more than just physical training, it was a lesson in perseverance for both of us. Gradually, his legs began to gain strength, and his falls became less frequent.
We agreed to keep this a secret from our parents until mom's birthday. We wanted to give her the most memorable gift—a miracle we had been working on. As the day approached, Ted's steps became more confident and his falls became fewer. On mom's birthday, we led our parents to the living room where Ted was waiting, standing on his own. With a signal, he started walking towards mom, his every step a testament to his incredible courage. The look of shock and joy on our parents' faces was indescribable. Tears streamed down my mom's cheeks as she watched Ted walk into her arms. It was a moment of triumph, a celebration of hope, and the best birthday present we could have ever given. Our secret training had paid off, and Ted's journey was a reminder to all of us that hope, combined with action, can lead to miracles.
