• 1、82-year-old Gina Harris will become the oldest woman to cycle across Britain. From England, Gina plans to ride from Land's End, in Cornwall, to John O'Groats, in Scotland, to support Women's Aid and Refuge. The trip is hard, but Gina has set her mind to supporting the two charities after reading about the outstanding work they have done for women.

    This year's International Women's Day theme is Break the Bias (偏见). Knowing that isn't enough, action is needed badly. Gina is taking action for women all over the world to show the importance of women. Gina shared, "I will ride my old bike and carry my luggage, which weighs over 30 kg. I won't complete the challenge until June 2022, so I have 3 months to practice with my son's great help. I have previously travelled by bicycle around Europe, so it won't be my first long cycle journey, but it will certainly be my last one."

    Gina Harris, a former photographer, took up cycling at 50 and joined the Cycling UK to follow her passion for charities. Alan Head, former Secretary of the Cycling UK commented, "Gina Harris has cycled with the Cycling UK for many years. We wish her all the best in her attempt to raise money for women by cycling. Because public services aren't enough, the work of charities is important. "

  • 2、Technology is the application(应用) of knowledge to production. Thanks to modern technology, we have been able to increase greatly the efficiency of our work force. New machines and new methods have helped cut down time and expense while increasing overall output. This has meant more production and a higher standard of living. For most of us in America, modern technology is thought of as the reason why we can have cars and television sets. However, technology has also increased the amount of food available to us, by means of modern farming machinery and animal breeding techniques, and has extended our life span via(通过) medical technology.

    Will mankind continue to live longer and have a higher quality of life? In large measure the answer depends on technology and our ability to use it widely. If we keep making progress as we have over the past fifty years, the answer is definitely yes. The advancement of technology depends upon research and development, and the latest statistics(统计) show that the United States is continuing to pump billions of dollars annually(每年) into such efforts. So while we are running out of some scarce resources(少的资源) we may well find technological substitutes(代用品)for many of them through our research programs.

    Therefore, in the final analysis the three major factors of production (land, labor and capital) are all influenced by technology. When we need new skills, on techniques in medicine, people will start developing new technology to meet those needs. As equipment proves to be slow or inefficient, new machines will be invented. Technology responds to our needs in helping us maintain our standard of living.

    (1)、According to the passage, people can live a long life with the help of _______.
    A、higher quality of life B、medical technology C、modern farming machinery D、technological substitute
    (2)、The three major factors of production include______
    A、Land B、Labor C、Capital D、Above all
    (3)、What is the best title for the passage? _______
    A、The definition of technology B、Modern technology C、The application of technology D、The development of technology

    Grace is a word my grandfather often mentioned to me. It's not just a simple English word, but a profound concept (理念) he tried to express. In his wise and gentle way, he would say, "Grace, my dear, is not only about showing kindness, but also about gracefully accepting it when offered." I always nodded respectfully, but the true meaning escaped me until a memorable event unfolded last summer.

    I had just joined in a community art project, excited to contribute my skills to a large painting on the side of an old building. It was a lively teamwork effort, with artists coming together to create something meaningful. At first, my fellow artists offered to help me with the drawings, seeing my passion and recognizing that we could work together to produce a great design. But I refused, politely yet firmly. "Thank you, but I've got this," I said, determined to show that I could manage it myself. Deep down, I felt that asking for help would make me look weak or unskilled.

    At first, things went smoothly. But as the days went by, the challenges began to pile up. One particularly hot afternoon, despite great frustration (挫败感), I still refused help. "I can do this," I murmured. I pressed purple and white from two tubes, stirring with a stick for a bright orange that could light up the dull drawing. The more I struggled, the worse things got. My colors didn't go as expected, and my work began to look messy.

    By four o' clock, the setting sun threw long shadows over the half-finished painting. Heat still rose from the building's wall, and I shook with a mix of tiredness and anxiety. I was growing increasingly hopeless. Then, like a gentle whisper in my mind, my grandfather's words echoed (回响). Maybe I should have accepted the help offered earlier.

    注意:

    1.续写词数应为100左右;

    2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

    I was just about to give up when one of my fellow artists approached me.

  • 5、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。

    Tea, a symbol of cultural heritage, has a fascinating history of how it traveled from China to Britain. The journey of tea began in ancient China, it was cultivated and enjoyed for thousands of years, deeply rooted in Chinese culture and art.

    In the 17th century, when trade between Europe and Asia (develop) rapidly, tea made its way to Britain and became a popular drink among the upper social class and (gradual) the general public. The British changed tea-drinking practices and combined their own customs by adding milk or sugar tea, with afternoon tea becoming a favorite tradition. This mix of Chinese heritage and British creativity formed unique tea culture that continues to be popular today.

    March 10, 2025 witnessed an activity, "Tea for Harmony", (host) by Zhejiang Province in London. Lots of natives showed up to taste (variety) of Chinese teas such as Longjing tea. And tea-lovers from both cultures shared tea-making techniques, tried tea-making tools exchanged their own ideas and ways of making tea. This event provided a stage (bridge) the cultural gap and stirred up interest in China's tea philosophy.

    The journey of tea from China to Britain highlights not only the exchange of goods but also the blending of cultural traditions, making a lasting symbol of global heritage.

    One rainy afternoon, I found Lily crying over4 homework. "I'll never catch up," she whispered, her hands5. From that night on, I6 copied her textbooks into a thick7, added easy notes, and quietly put it under her pillow in the morning.

    Weeks later, I overheard her tell Mom: "My ‘homework fairy' makes learning8!" My heart warmed, but I stayed silent. When her hair started falling out from9, I shaved (刮) my head too. "Now we10," I said firmly, ignoring classmates' stares.

    On her 15th birthday, Lily handed me a box wrapped in folded paper. Inside lay my notebook, now filled with her11 notes: "Thanks for being my sunshine on12 days."Tears blocked my vision as she hugged me: "I knew it was you, brother. You've always been my13."

  • 7、​​​​​​​The Internet offers endless opportunities for learning, but many students don't use it wisely. Spending hours watching unplanned videos or clicking unrelated links may seem productive, but true learning requires focus and strategy. Here are some tips worth following in order to make your online learning experience more effective.

    Set specific goals before going online.

    Without a clear plan, it's easy to lose track of time. Ask yourself: "What do I need to achieve today?" For example, instead of broadly searching "English help", aim for "learn 10 new words in real-life situations using them". This sharp focus saves time and improves efficiency.

    Examine sources critically.

    Not all websites provide trustworthy information. Look for websites ending in .edu or .gov, articles written by experts, or platforms like Coursera. If a source lacks author qualification or presents no references, approach it with care by cross-checking facts.

    Participate actively with material.

    Passive surfing hardly leads to deep learning. To be a true learner, you must interact with it actively. Try taking notes in your own words, creating mind maps, or sharing and analyzing the content with a friend. These methods force your brain to process information, making it easier to recall later.

    Online learning demands self-control. Use techniques like mindfulness practice: start your study period with a few minutes of deep breathing or meditation (冥想) to clear your mind and improve focus. Close unnecessary web pages, completing one task at a time without multitasking.

    Remember, the Internet is like a library—its value depends on how you use it. With discipline and smart habits, you can unlock its full potential for your education.

    A. Stay focused.

    B. Plan your time wisely.

    C. Take down key points while learning.

    D. Detailed goals guide your online journey.

    E. Reliable websites are always supported by clear authority.

    F. Distractions are everywhere, and it's easy to fall into aimless wandering online.

    G. It's necessary to check your online learning methods and make gradual improvements.

  • 8、​​​​​​​As new trends appear in the world of toys, there's been an effort to make them more inclusive (包容的). "Kids often develop fixed ideas about what toys are suitable for their gender," says Dr. Laura Thompson, a child psychologist. Making toys without a specific gender label (标签) appears to be an easy solution to this problem. However, as Dr. Thompson has discovered in her research, gender plays a significant role in how kids interact with toys, especially those with certain characteristics.

    In her study, Dr. Thompson asked children to rate their interest in male-focused, female-focused, and gender-neutral (中立的) versions of a doll-like figure named "Buddy" and a construction-themed toy set. It was found that gender influenced kids' levels of engagement with these toys and their desire to play with them. For example, children expressed less interest in the genderless doll than the male or female versions.

    While connecting toys with a particular gender might promote sales in some cases, it can also strengthen old-fashioned and harmful ideas about roles and abilities. Stereotypes (刻板印象) linked to boys, such as being more active and good at building, are often considered more positive than those related to girls. These qualities are then passed to the toys that are labeled as male or female.

    Dr. Thompson's study also showed that creating a truly gender-neutral toy was no easy task. Even if a toy's appearance or name was designed to be gender-neutral, like Buddy, children would still give it a gender. They would think Buddy was either a "he" or a "she".

    Despite these challenges, Dr. Thompson sees a bright side: She believes that the way kids interact with toys "offers a chance to reshape stereotypes." When girls are given toys that are typically considered for boys, like construction sets, it helps break down negative stereotypes about girls. Similarly, toys could be designed to have roles that go against the usual stereotypes — a male doll that likes to play with makeup or a female action figure that is great at sports, for instance.

    (1)、What is the main aim of making toys more inclusive?
    A、To promote toy sales. B、To satisfy parents' needs. C、To increase production efficiency. D、To avoid gender-related fixed ideas.
    (2)、What were the children probably asked to do in the study?
    A、Group toys based on gender. B、Grade their preferred toys. C、Play with genderless toys. D、Identify particular toys.
    (3)、Why is it hard to make completely gender-neutral toys?
    A、Gender-labeled toys are more attractive. B、Toy producers are short of creativity. C、Gender-neutral toys lack popularity. D、Children are used to gender-based grouping.
    (4)、What does the last paragraph mainly discuss?
    A、The effect of gender-neutral toys. B、The challenges of promoting inclusive toys. C、The importance of breaking traditional gender stereotypes. D、The role of toys in challenging kids' traditional views on gender.
  • 9、A new and creative way of farming has been appearing in recent years, attracting the attention of farmers and environmentalists alike. It's called regenerative (再生的) agriculture, an approach that goes beyond simply growing crops and raising farm animals. Instead, it aims to rejuvenate soil and enhance ecosystem.

    The idea of regenerative agriculture was born out of the recognition that traditional farming methods, with their heavy use of man-made fertilizers and pesticides, have been damaging the soil and causing many environmental problems over time. Regenerative agriculture, on the other hand, focuses on copying natural ecosystems to create a more sustainable (可持续的) farming system.

    One of the key guidelines of regenerative agriculture is the use of cover crops. These are plants that are grown mainly to protect and enrich the soil rather than for harvest. Cover crops help prevent soil from being washed away, improve soil structure, and increase the natural materials in the soil. They also function as natural pest control by attracting beneficial insects and stopping the growth of weeds.

    Another important aspect is the practice of rotational grazing (轮牧). That is, instead of keeping farm animals in small, closed-in spaces, they are moved around regularly to grasslands to feed on fresh grass. This allows the land to recover and get better while also providing the animals with a more natural and varied diet. Rotational grazing can improve the richness of soil, increase the number of different living things, and reduce the need for chemical inputs.

    The benefits of regenerative agriculture are significant for both farmers and the planet. Farmers have reported excellent outcomes. Crop quality and quantity have improved, and production costs have obviously dropped. Moreover, compared to traditional farms, regenerative farms trap more carbon, cut water pollution, and enhance wildlife habitats and biodiversity significantly.

    (1)、What does the underlined word "rejuvenate" in the first paragraph mean?
    A、take advantage of B、bring life to C、become aware of D、give way to
    (2)、Why was regenerative agriculture developed?
    A、To promote the use of cover crops. B、To recognize the benefits of traditional farming. C、To address the problems of traditional farming. D、To increase the production of crops and farm animals.
    (3)、Which of the following best describes the practice of rotational grazing?
    A、Accessible. B、Well-preserved. C、Beneficial. D、Highly-developed.
    (4)、Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
    A、Regenerative agriculture is REWARDING. B、Cover crops bring BENEFITS. C、Traditional farming is WORKABLE. D、Regenerative agriculture faces CHALLENGES.
  • 10、​​​​​​​Mary Anning, and the Jurassic Coast are forever connected: their stories are marked not only in history books but also in the very layers of rock that make up this amazing part of the English coastline.

    Mary, born in 1804 in Lyme Regis, became one of the most famous fossil hunters the world has ever seen. From a young age, Mary and her brother Joseph explored the beaches and rocksides, breaking the secrets hidden within the Jurassic Coast's rocks. These were no ordinary rocks, preserving the remains of creatures that lived millions of years ago, during the Jurassic period. In Lyme, fossil collecting was dangerous work. With strong determination, Mary moved across the dangerous ground beneath the cliffs during the low tide in search of precious fossils, which held great scientific worth.

    In 1821, Mary discovered the complete bones of an Ichthyosaurus, a marine reptile (海洋爬行动物) looking like a dolphin. This was the first complete Ichthyosaurus ever found, and it completely changed our understanding of these ancient creatures. Mary's finds continued to astonish the scientific community. Her discoveries opened new ways for scientists to study the ancient world.

    Despite her contributions, Mary faced many challenges. As a woman from a working-class background, she received little recognition for her work. Many of her discoveries were credited to male scientists, and she often struggled financially to support herself and her family. Yet, Mary's devotion to her work never faded. She continued to study fossils, even when things were very difficult.

    Today, Mary Anning is celebrated as a pioneer in fossil science. Her discoveries helped shape our understanding of the Jurassic period and the creatures that lived during that time. Her story is not only proof of her personal strength but also an inspiration to future generations of scientists.

    (1)、Which words best describe Mary's fossil-hunting work according to paragraph 2?
    A、Dull but rewarding. B、Tough but well-paid. C、Risky but valuable. D、Demanding but fun-filled.
    (2)、What is the significance of Mary's Ichthyosaurus discovery in 1821?
    A、It explained how coastlines changed. B、It helped identify new types of fossils. C、It attracted international fossil traders. D、It redefined ancient marine life studies.
    (3)、What greatly limited Mary's development in fossil science?
    A、Class and gender. B、Age and race. C、Education and resources. D、Health and equipment.
    (4)、What can we learn from Mary's story?
    A、Practice makes perfect. B、Pride comes before a fall. C、Where there's a will, there's a way. D、What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

  • 20、Coinciding with the groundbreaking theory of biological evolution proposed by British naturalist Charles Darwin in the 1860s, British social philosopher Herbert Spencer put forward his own theory of biological and cultural evolution. Spencer argued that all worldly phenomena, including human societies, changed over time, advancing toward perfection..

    American social scientist Lewis Henry Morgan introduced another theory of cultural evolution in the late 1800s. Morgan, along with Taylor, was one of the founders of modern anthropology. In his work, he attempted to show how all aspects of culture changed together in the evolution of societies..

    In the early 1900s in North America, German-born American anthropologist Franz Boas developed a new theory of culture known as historical particularism. Historical particularism, which emphasized the uniqueness of all cultures, gave new direction to anthropology..

    Boas felt that the culture of any society must be understood as the result of a unique history and not as one of many cultures belonging to a broader evolutionary stage or type of culture..

    Historical particularism became a dominant approach to the study of culture in American anthropology, largely through the influence of many students of Boas. But a number of anthropologists in the early 1900s also rejected the particularist theory of culture in favor of diffusionism. Some attributed virtually every important cultural achievement to the inventions of a few, especially gifted peoples that, according to diffusionists, then spread to other cultures..

    A. Other anthropologists believed that cultural innovations, such as inventions, had a single origin and passed from society to society. This theory was known as diffusionism.

    B. In order to study particular cultures as completely as possible, Boas became skilled in linguistics, the study of languages, and in physical anthropology, the study of human biology and anatomy.

    C. He argued that human evolution was characterized by a struggle he called the "survival of the fittest," in which weaker races and societies must eventually be replaced by stronger, more advanced races and societies.

    D. They also focused on important rituals that appeared to preserve a people's social structure, such as initiation ceremonies that formally signify children's entrance into adulthood.

    E. Thus, in his view, diverse aspects of culture, such as the structure of families, forms of marriage, categories of kinship, ownership of property, forms of government, technology, and systems of food production, all changed as societies evolved.

    F. Supporters of the theory viewed as a collection of integrated parts that work together to keep a society functioning.

    G. For example, British anthropologists Grafton Elliot Smith and W. J. Perry incorrectly suggested, on the basis of inadequate information, that farming, pottery making, and metallurgy all originated in ancient Egypt and diffused throughout the world.
