When Jane Goodall was 6, during World War II, she was often woken by sirens (警笛) warning of enemy planes over her English town. While her sister ran to the bomb shelter, Jane refused to move. “I did not want to leave my bed,” she recalled. “They had to take me down with all my bedclothes.”
That same strong will had shaped her entire life and career. In 1960, she sat for months in the forests of Tanzania, in Africa, waiting for chimpanzees (黑猩猩) to accept her. When they did, Goodall was able to observe them up close and discover that they use tools. And her belief that chimps are intelligent social animals is now widely accepted.
Her determination continued through decades of environmental advocacy. Over the years, Goodall had promoted the idea that “everyone can do their bit”. Critics argued that to make a real difference, bigger changes were needed from businesses and governments. Still, her belief in individual action inspired younger activists like Vanessa Nakate, who said Goodall gave her an “understanding that protecting our ecosystems is so important”.
At a United Nations climate conference, when many young activists feared the conference wouldn’t lead to enough action, Goodall was determined to find hope. “I won’t say I’m optimistic, but I have my fingers crossed,” she said. “The positive thing is that there’s so much more awareness.”
Through Roots & Shoots, the youth program she founded in 1991, Goodall passed on her belief that every action matters. Today, children in over 60 countries lead projects helping people, animals, and the planet-proof that her persistent hope lives on in a new generation.
24．Which of the following best describes young Jane Goodall
A．Open-minded. B．Tough-minded.
C．Self-centered. D．Cold-hearted
25．Why did young Goodall sit for months in the forests in 1960
A．To look for chimpanzees.
B．To look after chimpanzees.
C．To try to accept chimpanzees.
D．To gain the trust of chimpanzees.
26．What does the underlined phrase “have my fingers crossed” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A．To hope for the best.
B．To admit one’s fault.
C．To apologize for mistakes.
D．To accept what happened.
27．What can we learn from Jane Goodall’s story
A．If you want to go fast, go alone.
B．Every dark cloud has a silver lining.
C．Where one door shuts, another opens.
D．Every journey begins with a single step.
Deep in the snowy valley of Maisu Township in southwest China’s Sichuan Province, a Lima copper casting workshop is busy with activity. This is the home of Dawa Drolma, a young woman who is breathing new life into the ancient art.
Dawa comes from a family deeply rooted in Lima copper casting. This complex technique, which involves a special mixture of gold, silver, tin, zinc, and other metals, has been passed down for six generations in her family. The artworks are beautiful. However, growing up, Dawa witnessed the challenges of bringing these treasures beyond her remote hometown.
Determined to make a change, she traveled to the United States to pursue marketing and business management studies in 2013. In 2017, armed with global vision, new skills and insights, Dawa returned home. She and her brother worked together to transform the family business. They expanded the workshop, introduced innovative product designs that appealed to modern tastes and used online platforms to reach a wider audience.
The strategy worked. Today, their Lima copper creations, ranging from traditional statues to modern cultural goods, are sold worldwide. The workshop has become profitable, helping pay off family debts and creating jobs for local artisans. More importantly, it has changed how the local community views their own culture.
“When I was a child, career plans were unclear for most of us. Now, many children dream of becoming artisans,” Dawa said.
Dawa’s story is a leading example of how tradition and innovation can work together. Maisu now takes pride in over 30 handicraft workshops, proving that with the right approach, ancient crafts can stay alive in the modern world.
28．What is a feature of Lima copper casting
A．It has a long history.
B．It’s easy to produce.
C．It’s made of pure gold.
D．It needs new materials.
29．How did Dawa transform her family workshop
A．By expanding online platforms.
B．By employing American managers.
C．By innovating the design and sales.
D．By selling the producing techniques.
30．What can be inferred from Dawa’s words in paragraph 5
A．The artwork has inspired the young generation.
B．Many people thought she was just daydreaming.
C．The children are eager to leave the remote valley.
D．The future for the children in the valley is unclear.
31．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．The Future of a Local Artist
B．The Dream of a Young Woman
C．The Rebirth of an Ancient Craft
D．The Secret of a Traditional Art
The sound of a guitar is the warm yellow of honey and Monday is pink. These sensations are always the same, and always present. This is called synaesthesia — a neurological (神经的) condition where senses are interconnected.
Synaesthesia causes an estimated 4.4% of people to “see” sounds or “feel” the colors of letters. Scientists have found that this unique way of perceiving the world can be a powerful tool for learning a foreign language.
Research led by Julia Simmer at the University of Sussex indicates that children with synaesthesia often have better skills in several key areas. “Specifically, they were significantly better in vocabulary, short-term memory, and attention to detail,” Simner says. “These synaesthesia-linked skills predict that second-language learning could be easier.” For a synaesthete, every letter has its own color, which makes letters and words much more unique and memorable. When they learn a new language, the brain can use these color connections from their first language to help remember new words. It’s as if the color gives the brain an extra piece of information to hold onto, making the learning process more effective.
However, psychologist Lucie Bouvet notes that for a small number of people, synaesthesia can sometimes make communication harder. This is the experience of a woman identified as VA．Every time VA hears a sound like “k”, she would immediately see the color red. Before understanding the meaning of a word, her brain has to first process its sound and then its color. This extra step of mental translation could sometimes cause her to lose track of a conversation, showing that synaesthesia’s effects can be complex.
Despite these potential challenges, the key value of studying synaesthesia lies in its ability to help us understand the mysteries of the human brain and language. For me, living with these interconnected senses brings joy. It serves as a beautiful reminder that every brain experiences the world in its own unique way.
32．What do we know about synaesthesia
A．It’s an evaluation method.
B．It’s a psychological disorder.
C．It’s a language learning strategy.
D．It’s a unique way the brain works.
33．How does synaesthesia aid language learning according to Julia Simner’s research
A．By making better predictions.
B．By developing painting skills.
C．By improving the first language.
D．By providing sensory connections.
34．What can we infer about synaesthesia from VA’s experience
A．It gains extra information.
B．It leads to misunderstanding.
C．It requires complex processing.
D．It improves communication skills.
35．What’s the author’s attitude to synaesthesia
A．Critical. B．Positive.
C．Confused. D．Objective.
Why Is Sleep Essential for Teens
Sleep is not just a break from our busy lives. 36 During the teen years, the body and mind go through significant development, all of which rely heavily on quality sleep. Therefore, getting enough quality sleep — between 8 to 10 hours per night for most teens — is not a luxury, but a necessity for this important growth phase.
Sleep powerfully benefits the brain. It sharpens thinking, promotes attention, and strengthens memory. 37 Whether studying for a test or learning a new skill, enough sleep is absolutely essential for doing well in school.
We have all felt how a poor night’s sleep can make us become annoyed easily. However, the long-term effects on mood can be much more severe. 38 In particular, conditions like anxiety and depression are closely linked to a lack of quality sleep. Improving sleep may play a role in preventing and managing these mental health conditions.
39 It supports the immune system, helps balance hormones (激素), and aids in muscle recovery. This is particularly critical during the rapid physical development in youth. Studies show that not getting enough sleep can lead to potential risk for conditions like heart disease.
In short, sleep is a superpower for teens. By making sleep a priority, teenagers can unlock their full potential in the classroom, in their relationships, and in their overall health. 40
A．Sleep keeps the body’s systems running effectively.
B．It is essential for everyone, especially for teenagers.
C．Another key area is safety and good decision-making.
D．It also helps the brain store new knowledge effectively.
E．So tonight, give your body and brain the rest they deserve.
F．This growth heavily depends on getting enough quality sleep.
G．This increases the risk of more serious mental health problems.

六、书面表达
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。
John Haney, a business adviser from Belmont, North Carolina, had no interest in basketball at all — let alone coaching. Yet nothing mattered more to him than being a good father to his 10-year-old son Jack. His job kept him constantly travelling on business, and every time he missed Jack’s small moments to remember — the first time tying shoes, the first goal in the backyard — guilt ate away at him.
What worried John most was his own childhood. His father had been a cold and distant man, tired out by long, hard workdays with no love for the job. He’d come home worn out, never playing catch or sharing sincere talks. When John was 12, his parents divorced (离婚), leaving him wanting the fatherly bond he’d never had. John promised he’d never let Jack feel that loneliness, but he was stuck -he had no idea how to close the gap with his son.
One fresh and cool November afternoon, John came home early and found Jack bouncing a basketball in the yard, his face shining with excitement. “Dad, my friend is on a basketball team! Can you sign me up, please ” Jack begged, his big eyes full of hope. John hesitated — he knew nothing about the sport, and Jack’s interests usually disappeared as quickly as they came. But his wife Ashley patted (轻拍) his arm gently, her voice warm: “Why not give it a try Make what’s important to Jack important to you. It doesn’t have to be perfect. Just be there.”
Those words shocked John like a warning. That night, he stayed up late looking up local kids’ basketball teams. The next day, he signed Jack up, and on a sudden urge, he ticked (勾选) the box to volunteer as the team’s coach. Now all he had to do was wait for the first practice.
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。
Paragraph 1:
Their first practice turned out to be a mess.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
John changed his mind for the next practice.

Good morning, everyone. Today is Friday, November 21st, and I’m here to inform you about some changes to the city’s bus routes. These changes are part of the city’s plan to improve public transportation and reduce traffic jam.
The new bus routes will take effect next Monday. There will be three new bus lines: Line 15, Line 22, and Line 30. Line 15 will connect the downtown area to the airport, which will make it easier for travelers to get to and from the airport. Line 22 will serve the residential areas in the eastern part of the city, and Line 30 will go to the new shopping mall in the west.
We understand that these changes may cause some inconvenience at first. To help passengers get used to the new routes, we will have staff at major bus stops next week to answer questions. You can also check the official website for detailed route maps and schedules. If you have any other questions, you can call our service hotline at 078-9039-0972. The hotline is open from 8 am to 8 pm every day.

66．Dear Frank,
I’m writing to report the survey on how students in our school deal with new words in English reading. As shown in the chart, 42% turn to others for help, 18% use dictionaries, 15% either ignore words or ask AI, and 10% guess meanings.
In my view, relying on others is convenient but may cause over-dependence. It’s better to combine dictionary-use with guessing to build vocabulary effectively. Also, ignoring new words isn’t a bad choice — they may not affect reading comprehension.
Would you like me to collect more students’ specific thoughts on these methods
Yours,
Li Hua
67．
Paragraph 1:
Their first practice turned out to be a mess. John failed three shots, drawing quiet laughs from the kids. While other teams ran tidy training, his players wandered without purpose, running for the ball like flying birds. Jack, once excited, looked sad. Upset by his own lack of skill, John spoke sharply to him. Jack’s eyes filled with tears; he threw the ball down and ran off. Their drive home was silent. John’s heart heavy with regret — he’d let his son down, just as his own dad had.
Paragraph 2:
John changed his mind for the next practice. Gathering the team, he smiled: “Let’s just have fun today! No training, no pressure.” The kids cheered, passing and shooting freely. Suddenly, Jack’s shot went through the basket. John ran over, giving him a big high-five. “You did it!” he smiled. Jack’s face lit up. From then on, they laughed more than they competed. By the end of the season, their connection grew stronger — John finally understood: being a good dad wasn’t about being perfect, but showing up with a ready heart.
