1、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
I recently read Pablo Picasso's quote, "I'm always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it." It reminded me of myself—and how I do, learn, and improve. I recalled one of my earliest memories of doing before learning: baking scones(烤饼) when I was 10 years old. I wanted to bake scones for my mom.
I always sat at the kitchen table when my mom baked, and I had observed her process numerous times. She always used a recipe book and followed the process carefully. As I started to try, I didn't know I shouldn't handle the dough (面团) with my hands too much once I had added the baking powder(发酵粉). However, I knew exactly how to roll out the dough and use a cookie cutter to cut the scones, because I had repeated it in my mind hundreds of times.
As my mom arrived home, the smell of freshly baked scones welcomed her into the kitchen. They were baked to golden brown perfection—flat, as a result of over-handling the dough, but they tasted OK. My mom praised me for my attempt, rather than blaming me for the state of the kitchen, which was a surprise! That night she told my dad how proud she was, and what a good job I'd done. Over time, she taught me the finer tricks of baking and cooking.
My habit of doing before learning still stands me in good stead. Whatever computer program or application I have to learn, I do so by simply starting to use it. I learn as I go on, and I've often been able to help others because I've gone through the process of learning from beginning to end. What I discovered from my experience is the wisdom to know when it's OK to do and then learn, and when it's probably better to learn and then do!
(1)、How did the author learn to bake at first?A、She taught herself. B、She watched the cooking videos. C、She learned it from the recipe book. D、She followed her mother's instructions.(2)、How did the author's mother feel about her baking?A、Concerned. B、Regretful. C、Grateful. D、Pleased.(3)、What can be learned about the author from the last paragraph?A、She was skilled at programming. B、She benefited a lot from her habit. C、She recommended her habit to others. D、She had good arrangements for her time.(4)、What's the best title for this text?A、My favorite quotes B、Do. Learn. Improve C、Apply theories to practice D、My attempt at baking scones -

The Nautilus Expedition(探险) to the Cayman Islands
Hi! I'm Talita and this is my blog! Enjoy!
Day 1: August 15th
Wow! I can't believe I'm actually here on Nautilus. I'm one of five very lucky students chosen to go on Nautilus's four-day expedition to the Cayman Islands. We had a talk from the expedition leader Dr. Katy Croff Bell about where we're going and what we'll be doing. Oh, and all the safety rules as well, of course!
Day 2: August 16th
What an amazing day! In the morning, we met Dr. Robert Ballard, who discovered the wreck(残骸) of the Titanic! After lunch, we had a tour around Nautilus. We looked at the labs, and we went up to the bridge—that's where the captain of the ship works. I even got a chance to guide the ship! Later we learned about Hercules. This robot is sent deep into the sea to look for shipwrecks, to study the plants and animals, and to look at the rocks in an area.
Day 3: August 17th
This morning we appeared on the Nautilus Live website and talked to students around the world about our expedition. It was amazing—I feel like a real famous person now! The afternoon was NOT cool, however. There was a big storm , and we all felt very seasick!
Day 4: August 18th
This morning was beautiful, and the sea was peaceful. Perfect for a dive. Unfortunately, it was Hercules, not us, who got to go diving. In the afternoon, we arrived at Grand Cayman. Although I'm sad to leave the Nautilus team (especially Hercules), I'm excited to explore the islands and the waters!
(1)、How did Talita feel about taking part in Nautilus's expedition to the Cayman Islands?A、Moved. B、Worried. C、Excited. D、Doubtful.(2)、What is the robot Hercules used for?A、Giving diving shows. B、Exploring the deep sea. C、Helping with lab work. D、Guiding tourists around the islands.(3)、What did Talita do on Day 3?A、She learned about the history of the Titanic. B、She attended a speech from the expedition leader. C、She shared her expedition with students worldwide. D、She visited the place where the captain of Nautilus works. -
3、 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。
My eight-year-old brother Tim and I were examining a shoebox in our house. He took the top of the box off as he said we could use this box to catch a cool breeze(微风).
My family lived in a small desert town where the only breezes that blew were hot winds, especially in summer. I didn't understand what my brother was talking about, but he was several years older, so I trusted him.
"A story says kids can catch a cool breeze using a box and enjoy it whenever they want," Tim said. Surprised, I asked whether it was true. He gave a nod.
And because our parents would take us to the snow-covered, windy mountains for fun the following weekend, Tim decided he'd secretly use this shoebox to catch a cool breeze. And he said he'd give the breeze-filled shoebox to our parents as a gift on their birthday. Our parents shared a birthday, which fell on a hot August day. "I want to give them a surprise, letting them enjoy the cool wind," Tim said joyfully. Inspired, I also wanted to give our parents the same gift, so I found another shoebox.
The following weekend, our family went to the mountains. Tim and I ran back and forth with our boxes, attempting to trap as many cool breezes as possible. When we arrived home, Tim stored our boxes in a rarely used refrigerator. "It'll enable us to store the cool breeze," he smiled. From that moment on, I kept an eye on our breeze boxes. My greatest worry was that they would be thrown out accidentally.
When summer arrived, our local temperature kept rising. And we had an unusually hot July day. One day, Tim and I sat before our door, trying to cool off. And the two shoeboxes kept crossing my mind. Eventually, I was so hot that I wanted to open my breeze box.
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:
Then I headed for the refrigerator secretly, without noticing Tim following me.
Paragraph 2:
When our parents' birthday finally arrived, Tim and I excitedly took out the shoeboxes.

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。
In November 2023, China launched a three-year action plan to promote the use of bamboo as a replacement plastic. Actually, I've been using bamboo products more often over the years.
The look and feel of bamboo are absolutely above and beyond plastic, there must be more positive aspects to bamboo other than just aesthetics(美学). When compared to (healthy) plastic, bamboo is a highly renewable, natural material that is biodegradable(可生物降解的) and (become) the "green gold" of modern times in recent years because it has so many good qualities. (live) in a time when most of our homes are filled with plastic, I think it's time to wake up to the green alternative and realize (it) full potential as a planet protector.
This super-powered plant is actually a grass and looks like a weed in terms of quickly it can grow and where it can live. The production costs of bamboo are extremely low due to the easy (available) of this material, and it requires almost zero adjustment (make) when people produce bamboo products. From household objects to decorative settings, the quantity of uses bamboo has (go) beyond your wildest dreams and I'd love to see it becoming more popular as time goes on.

I was an active kid who played hours of basketball and still cycled several kilometers home. As the years went by, I had some condition, which made it 1 for me to exercise. Later, my condition got worse and 2 and resulted in "deadly" laziness. I find myself 3 my feet to have a walk or run, and often finding 4 to rest. However, I do remember a weekend when I felt 5 enough to go for a seaside walk. I sat on the beach and just 6 the whole view of the sea.
Now, I want you to 7 me for a minute: close your eyes and picture yourself sitting on the beach looking at the sea. Do you 8 its edge? Some may answer "No. Just an 9 stretch of the sea". We are like the rocks—heavy or light—being thrown into the sea. The weight represents the 10 we're carrying. The lighter ones have greater 11 of going further.
The matters of the heart are complex and 12 affect us. So many problems can make us suffer. "Forgiveness" is a powerful word and emotion when it comes to matters of the heart. The 13 to let go and forgive moment when we ourselves is really a weight off our shoulders. The journey is never-ending and 14 at times, but it will surely be easier when we learn to 15 the load.

7、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。
Every year at New Year we face a clear choice—a new chapter or the same old story? Behavioural science tells us that instead of New Year's resolutions, the principles of getting into new habits through "everyday actions" are a much more effective way to change your life. There are several steps to follow.
Make the goal very specific and continue firmly. Say "I'm going to lose 2 pounds per week by exercising three times, stopping eating chocolate and focusing on a healthy dinner" instead of "I'm going to lose weight". Write it in places where you will be consistently reminded of it.
The most important thing is to create simple, small steps—and act often. Big goals are annoying. Focusing on the small steps will make them achievable and relevant. It is the general effect of consistency that adds up to a big change.
Track and measure your progress. As the famous old saying goes, if you don't measure it, you can't manage it. Imagine playing tennis or football and not keeping the score. Yet that's what most people do with their New Year's resolutions. In order to acquire new habits, you need to keep the score.
Celebrate your wins. Celebration makes everyone happy. It releases great warm chemicals in brains which not only encourage you to do more but also are at the heart of motivation and satisfaction. The more you celebrate, the more likely you are to keep on winning. .
A. Aim for progress not perfection.
B. Break the goal down into everyday actions.
C. You need clear visibility of how you are getting on.
D. Most New Year's resolutions are too unclear and easily forgotten.
E. If you follow them with commitment and focus, you will change and achieve much.
F. There is another thing to keep in mind—be kind and recognise the greatness in you.
G. Make your goal known to friends and family whose pressure helps you stick to the task.

8、阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A last defender of privacy, our brains have remained inviolate(未受侵犯的), even as sensors now record our heartbeats, breaths, steps and sleep. All that is about to change.
Large tech companies are already investing heavily in brain wearables. They aim to put brain sensors into smart watches, headsets and sleep aids. Integrating them into our everyday lives could revolutionize health care, enabling personalized treatment of conditions. Brain sensors could improve our ability to think, focus and even communicate with technological telepathy(心灵感应)—using the power of thoughts and emotions to drive interaction with AR and VR headsets.
But brain wearables also pose real risks to mental privacy and self-determination. As these devices increase, they'll generate vast amounts of neural(神经的) data, creating a window into our brain states. Nowadays, our inner selves are not as secret as before. From neuromarketing to the rabbit hole of social media, they violate human brains even when people don't realize that. Social media "like" buttons and notifications are features designed to draw us habitually back to platforms, using our brains' reward systems.
As brain wearables and artificial intelligence (AI) advance, the line between human agency and machine intervention will also not be manifest. When a wearable reshapes our thoughts and emotions, how much of our actions remain truly our own? As we begin to offload mental tasks onto AI, we risk becoming overly dependent on technology. Should we allow AI to shape our mental experiences? And how do we keep our humanity in an interconnected world remade by these technologies?
We stand at the beginning of a brain wearable revolution. We need caution and an open debate about the risks and benefits of neurotechnology to ensure it is used responsibly. To get there will require were cognize new digital age rights to preserve our inner liberty—self-determination over our brains and mental experiences. We must do so now, before the choice is no longer ours to make.
(1)、What is stressed about brain wearables in paragraph 2?A、Their application. B、Their potential. C、Their popularity. D、Their diversity.(2)、What does the author want to show by mentioning social media "like" buttons and notifications?A、People rely on technology too much. B、Risk of brain wearables is everywhere. C、Neuromarketing affects people easily. D、Mental privacy is violated unknowingly.(3)、What does the word "manifest" underlined in paragraph 4 mean?A、Clear. B、Stable. C、Necessary. D、Reasonable.(4)、What does the author appeal to people to do?A、Be open to new technology. B、Oppose brain wearables. C、Defend the freedom of thought. D、Keep humanity in high-tech era. -
9、阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
People are flying more than ever. From short trips to traveling around the globe, many are on the move. But finding the way at the airports has never been easy in the US, due to crowding and a lot of tasks like checking in, taking care of baggage, screening and finding your gate. It is often difficult to get to where you are going. If you are in a wheelchair or visually challenged, it's even harder.
The new terminal at the Kansas City International Airport is designed to fix many of these shortcomings. The new facility features indoor play areas, changing rooms, and a quiet room for people who cannot handle the noise or activity of a busy airport. There is even a pet relief area for people traveling with their furry family members. One innovation is the glass-walled jet bridge for people who are worried about getting on and off planes. And for people who are uncomfortable with the whole airport and flying process, there are simulators (模拟器) that allow travelers to go from boarding to taking off virtually.
Justin Meyer, with the Kansas City Aviation Department, said the new terminal sets a level of inclusivity that passengers will expect in other airports. "The goal isn't that we're forever at the head of the line," Meyer said. "My goal was just to raise the bar, so if someone else wants to build the most accessible airport in the world, they're going to have to start from where Kansas City stopped. In the end, passengers win."
While making airports more accessible to people with different abilities may seem to be expensive or difficult, the benefits certainly outweigh the costs. Accessible airports mean that more people and their families will be able to travel and then the skies will be friendly to all.
(1)、What is the function of paragraph 1?A、To call on airports to improve their services. B、To explain the background to the new terminal. C、To stress the annoyance of frequent air travelers. D、To show the complexity of boarding procedures.(2)、Who are most likely to use the glass-walled jet bridge?A、People who take a pet. B、People who use a wheelchair. C、People who travel with family. D、People who have flight anxiety.(3)、What does Justin Meyer imply about the new terminal?A、It needs further improvement. B、It has the best passenger services. C、It sets a higher standard for airport services. D、It aims to lead the world in accessibility.(4)、What is the author's attitude towards the Kansas City International Airport's practice?A、Supportive. B、Conservative. C、Unprejudiced. D、Doubtful. -
10、阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
One Saturday last November, I stepped into my local library. I was about to read a book when I heard an elderly man speak to a lady. "This library will soon become a café. Everyone is reading with electronic devices, "he said. Hearing this, I wanted to shout, "I still read library books!" But my words stuck in my throat and I found teenagers around me were talking to friends or staring at their phones.
Reading online feels robotic to me. It's like I stare at a screen and click "next" for the following page to appear until the very end of the e-book, and at the end of all of that, I just think, "That's it?" But when I read a printed book, it's like I'm holding on to the characters. I can visualize the plot better, as I can picture the scenes of each moment in my head with more accuracy and imagination.
Besides, some online books miss components that are in the printed novels. For instance, the physical copy of a fantasy novel I have read contains a map, but the e-book version does not. That is an injustice to e-book users; after reading and interpreting the map, the story made a lot more sense for me, in terms of the setting and plot.
And personally, physically turning to the next page is better than clicking "next". When reading online, I sometimes worry that I click "next" too quickly. It feels more like a race; I want to finish it because the pages just keep making that "flipping" sound and I wonder how long the book really is.
Some printed books have a special smell that makes the novel feel special to me. It's hard to describe but I'm sure I'm not the only one that thinks so. I know I cannot convince every teen to switch from the digital book to the printed one, but maybe my writing about the difference will at least get some of them to think about it.
(1)、Why will the library be replaced by a cafe?A、Few people head for it. B、It lacks good management. C、Few people read its books. D、It holds little attraction for the youth.(2)、Why does the author prefer printed books according to paragraph 2?A、They include additional contents. B、They leave a vivid impression. C、They have a special pleasant smell. D、They can improve readers' imagination.(3)、What influence does reading online have on the author?A、Making her tired of reading. B、Leading her to read aimlessly. C、Bringing more injustice to her. D、Stopping her digging into reading.(4)、What is the author's purpose of writing this text?A、To awaken teenagers' interest in reading. B、To publicize advantages of printed books. C、To reduce the impact of electronic devices. D、To encourage teens to change the reading medium. -
