Experience Mexico’s famous culture by rail
The Tequila Express offers a special trip from Guadalajara to the Herradura distillery (酿酒厂) in Amatitán. It is a full-day experience. On the train, visitors enjoy music and food.

At 21 years old, I became a woman who rowed alone across the Atlantic from Europe to South America without any support. That 4,100-mile journey took me 97 days, 9 hours, and 20 minutes.
My journey began on October 27, 2024, when I set off from Portugal. Truth be told, I was not only new to ocean rowing, but also to the ocean itself. I still recall seeing my first fish on day six. Despite being a poor swimmer, I regularly had to jump in to clean the boat. The weather turned terrible, even capsizing (使倾覆) my boat. After 40 days, my phone broke, ending my music while I was rowing. I suffered injuries to my arm and leg and broke a finger. I also had a frightening encounter with a large ship. Crossing the Canary Islands, I advanced only 11 miles.
Yet, among all these difficulties, I experienced many unforgettable moments. I had the rare chance to see nature in a way few people ever do. I watched breathtaking sunrises and night skies, and encountered dolphins, sharks, and even killer whales. Once, I was even hit by a flying fish! These memories will stay with me for life. When I finally arrived in French Guiana, I was welcomed by lots of clapping fishermen and locals from Brazil. Although I missed the speed record by 19 hours, I am still incredibly proud of what I achieved. I took on a big challenge and won.
I undertook this row to raise money for two organizations, one of which encourages women to take part in sports. I truly hope my effort will inspire others to challenge themselves. If I can do something like this, others can attempt challenges of their own.
24．Why did the author get into the water regularly during the trip
A．To practice swimming. B．To catch fish for food.
C．To check the boat’s condition. D．To maintain the boat’s condition.
25．Which word can best describe the author’s journey
A．Ordinary. B．Doubtful. C．Rewarding. D．Boring.
26．What did the author mainly intend to do by taking the challenge
A．Inspire others. B．Describe marine life.
C．Raise money for women. D．Show the ocean’s danger.
27．Which can be the best title for the text
A．A Race Against Time on the Atlantic.
B．Rowing Alone Across the Atlantic Ocean.
C．An Unforgettable Adventure with Wildlife.
D．A Young Woman’s Dream to Break a Record.
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is a life-saving method that has saved many lives since it was created in the 1960s. However, it does not work well in zero gravity, so a team of European heart doctors has been testing other ways for astronauts.
For people without training, the handstand method of CPR is the recommended method suggested by the American Heart Association and other health groups. It uses the helper’s body weight to press on the center of the chest with the hands. This presses the heart and keeps blood moving until the heart starts again or medical help arrives.
To test other ways, cardiologists (心脏病医生) worked with the French space agency to do tests on a plane flying in parabolic arcs (抛物线) to simulate weightlessness for brief periods. The team tested normal CPR and three kinds of automatic chest pressing machines. These machines, though not household items, are standard equipment in some professional emergency tools. They are used where there is not enough space for the handstand method, or when CPR needs to be given for a very long period.
“We tested different ways of giving chest presses on a ‘flying laboratory’, which made the low-gravity conditions that astronauts feel in space,” said Nathan Reynette from Université de Lorraine. “Using a special kind of automatic chest pressing machine was the only way that reached the depth suggested by world guidelines to keep blood going to the brain when someone’s heart truly stops. We hope that what we found will be included in the next rules for treating stopped hearts in space.”
Because astronauts are chosen for being very healthy, the chance of a heart problem is quite low. But as the cost of space travel keeps going down quickly, more normal people will surely go into space soon. Also, this technology can be used to save lives on underwater vehicles and at far-away bases in the Arctic.
28．What role does paragraph 2 play in the text
A．To describe the importance of CPR training.
B．To explain how standard CPR works on Earth.
C．To introduce the common problem in zero gravity.
D．To provide background for the new space CPR test.
29．What does the underlined word “simulate” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Artificially create. B．Exactly measure.
C．Carefully observe. D．Frequently adjust.
30．What can we infer about the test according to Nathan Reynette
A．The handstand method worked best.
B．Its results were immediately recognized.
C．Astronauts preferred using automatic devices.
D．A mere method met the required chest press depth.
31．What is the future of the CPR facility
A．It can be used by anyone.
B．It will stay limited to use on Earth.
C．It can be used in other extreme places.
D．It will be replaced by new technology.
Olives: The Life and Lore of a Noble Fruit is a lively story of a tree, the fruit and the oil it produces, and the colorful characters who make their living from this most Mediterranean (地中海) crop. This is not an academic book — Rosenblum is a journalist whose interest in olives was inspired by a collection of ignored trees on the property of a house he bought in southern France — but every page expresses the author’s admiration for the“remarkable little stone fruit” that inspires so many people’s lives.
Rosenblum describes planting and cutting, picking and pressing, taste and trade, and the complexity of a market where the only thing protecting consumers is faith in the producer they buy from. He recites (列举) a series of things that can go wrong in growing and processing olives, and takes delight in the rich strong taste of the fresh-pressed oil when everything in the harvest has gone right. He expresses the flavor of life in those sunny lands where olives have supported family after family for thousands of years.
At the heart of this tale is Rosenblum’s clear judgment that the old ways are better. Traditional presses, he thinks, make better oil than modern machines. Handpicking is better for olives than harvesting them with mechanical shakers. “I loved the oil,” he says of an award-winning French product made with precise techniques and the finest modern equipment, “but I missed the passion.” His own passion is founded on the olive’s historic connection to Mediterranean peoples and landscapes.
The book’s cover, with a fat black olive standing in for the letter O, and a group of olive trees fronting a cold green sky, will grab the attention of at least one in three passing along a bookstore aisle (过道). Those who stop to open the book and then read a passage or two, will find themselves drawn in by the story. It is a story that is rich with taste and full of passion, and just as with olives and their oil, these are the things that matter most.
32．What inspired Rosenblum’s interest in olives
A．The trees in his yard in southern France.
B．The colorful characters in his hometown.
C．A lively story about Mediterranean crops.
D．An academic book on producing olive oil.
33．What does Rosenblum mainly express in describing olive growing and trade
A．The scientific methods for olive farming.
B．The economic risks in olive oil production.
C．The joy of perfect harvests and regional culture.
D．The consumer protection policies in the market.
34．How does Rosenblum think of the award-winning French product
A．It is not natural at all. B．It is not attractive to him.
C．It is good for people’s health. D．It is expensive for consumers.
35．What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text
A．To recommend a great book. B．To introduce a famous writer.
C．To advertise a kind of olive oil. D．To promote the benefits of olives.
In a world filled with cellphones and so many digital devices, the library remains an exciting place for children and a valuable experience parents can offer. 36 . Beyond books and reading-related activities, libraries offer a wide range of practical resources. Here are more reasons for taking your kids to the local library regularly.
The most obvious reason is exposing them to books and reading. You can read in the library together with your children. 37 . Nothing beats the feeling of reading a book in your hands. But there’s something even nicer. You can hold your child on your lap while your child holds the book and listens to you reading it, line by line, page by page. This arouses children’s interest in reading and strengthens the parent-child relationship.
38 . Wandering around the bookshelves can inspire curiosity, as children can be exposed to new topics and get curious about things they hadn’t thought about before. A school educates students on a variety of subjects, yet a child’s curiosity often extends beyond those subjects. In a library, a child can potentially reach so much more.
Taking kids to the library gives them a unique experience. Despite online information, the library’s public space atmosphere cannot be replaced. Children can walk around, explore books, or go to a lecture. 39 . It is a place for people of all kinds, allowing children to come into contact with diverse groups and develop social awareness indirectly.
Going to the library can also teach children about themselves. Having the responsibility of returning books on time can be a new experience. It is also important to learn about which types of books they enjoy. 40 .
A．It helps to reduce children’s screen time
B．Even just walking around the library can be beneficial
C．Above all, they can enjoy the wonderful atmosphere here
D．Libraries are much quieter and more peaceful than schools
E．You can also get a membership card and bring books home
F．The process helps them discover their reading tastes and interests
G．Taking kids to the library is about more than just borrowing books
三、完形填空
When it comes to choosing shoes, style and comfort have always been equally important to me. I once wandered through countless cities in my 41 high-top shoes, seeing them as the extension of my 42 . But in 2021, at the age of 41, I was diagnosed (诊断) with Parkinson’s disease—a (n) 43 causing severe movement difficulties. One of its common symptoms, dystonia (肌张力障碍), twisted (使扭曲变形) my 44 and ankles painfully, leaving me 45 on my feet and easy to fall. Heartbroken, I had to 46 my beloved old shoes.
My old shoes sat gathering dust in the closet. I was no stranger to 47 my unused items online, but I’d never picked up the 48 to list my shoes. The thought of never wearing them again was simply too hard to bear.
Nearly a year later, I 49 posted them online. I set the price a little higher, 50 by the emotional value they held for me. Eventually, a pair of grey high-tops was sold, and I 51 a heartfelt note to the shoes.
The buyer replied immediately—a high-top 52 who’d worn out her own pair of the exact same color. She offered sincere sympathy and warm wishes to me. Encouraged, I 53 down the price of the rest and struck up conversations with more buyers, opening up about my illness, physical changes and style development.
Today, I wear shoes 54 for me. I’ve realized letting go, along with strangers’ kindness, gives me 55 to brave future changes.

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。
“Do you need some help ” I asked softly, carefully stepping over boxes and bubble (气泡) wrap on the floor. I looked at the mess around us. The floor was covered with strings of lights, Christmas decorations, fake snow and unopened boxes. All were prepared for the coming Christmas village. “I need an army,” she replied.
I should have been studying for my exams, but I said it was okay because I needed a break anyway. Mom looked at the piles (堆) of things, not knowing where to begin. Seeing her discouragement, I suggested making the first move. She tried to make sense of the mess while showing me how to set up each little house.
Setting up fifty-three china houses had once sounded like a great idea, but now Mom’s confidence was starting to fade. She said it always looked beautiful when finished, but she had been sick for the last two Christmases and was out of practice. Watching her struggle to remember each step, I stayed close, my attention fully on her.
We carefully arranged each part of the little town. She taught me all her tips and tricks. With every china person she picked up, she told a story — where it came from and why it belonged in a certain spot. She shared how the village started with just three houses from Grandma and grew year by year into this large collection. She even showed me how to fix little mistakes. “It’s okay if it’s not perfect,” she said. Time seemed to disappear while we worked. When the last church was placed in the square, I looked up and smiled, “It was worth the time, Mom.”
Seven hours later, I noticed Mom moving slowly. Her legs shook slightly as she stood up. We were about to stop when she found one step left — adding a string of warm lights around the village floor. She said the light would make the whole scene come alive.
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。
Tired, she reached for the lights, but I gently took them from her hands.

Early the next morning, I quietly entered the living room, reaching for the lights on the table.

W: Then you should try to talk to your boss.
M: I don’t see the boss very often. He is always on business trips.

66．Dear Ella,
How are you Last weekend, my friend and I went on a “city walk” to explore local food culture, and I’d love to share it with you.
We wandered through old streets, tasting hand-pulled noodles from a century-old restaurant and sweet Osmanthus Cake from a friendly vendor. Along the way, we learned how these foods connect to local history and daily life.
This experience made me realize that food is more than just flavor — it’s a window into a place’s stories and traditions. I felt so inspired to understand my own city better through its food. If you visit someday, I’d be happy to take you on this tasty adventure!
Yours,
Li Hua

Tired, she reached for the lights, but I gently took them from her hands. “What matters isn’t finishing tonight,” I said softly. “It’s the seven hours we just spent together. Mom, look at your hands.” She looked down at her trembling fingers and was silent for a moment. I placed the lights aside. Her eyes followed them, but she finally nodded. I helped her to the bedroom. After lying down, she stared at the ceiling — I knew she was still thinking about those unfinished lights. But within five minutes, her breathing became deep and even. She was simply too tired.
Early the next morning, I quietly entered the living room, reaching for the lights on the table. I spent an hour on my knees carefully placing them around the village. When I connected the power, a soft yellow light spread like morning over the town. As I fixed a fallen Santa, Mom hurried in. Looking at the warm light, she whispered, “So early ” I said I remembered — light makes things warm. She held me tight. In that circle of gentle light, surrounded by our little village, we knew this was never just about Christmas. It was about finding each other, unspoken words, and the quiet light that love always brings.
