I'm a seventeen-year-old boy preparing for my A Level exams at the end of the year. In the society where my peers and I live, we tend to accept the rat race values. As students, we want to get good grades so that we can get good jobs. I enjoy studying and have always received A's in my classes. There was a year when I finished the first in my class in the final exams. It was a great achievement.
Another one I am pleased with is that I managed to improve the relationship between Mum and Dad. Dad was a successful businessman who was rarely at home. Mum was a housewife who always felt bored and nagged (唠叨) him to let her go to work. Their frequent arguing bothered me, so I advised Dad that Mum would be better off with a part-time job. He agreed, and their relationship has improved since then.
My most proud achievement, however, is my successful work in the local old folks' home. My grandparents had raised me since I was a child. I wept (哭泣) bitterly when they died. Unlike many of my classmates, I do not take part in my school's community service to earn points. I enjoy my voluntary work and believe I'm contributing to a worthwhile cause. This is where I can help. I talk to the elderly, help them with their daily life, and listen to their problems, happy days and the hardships they experienced.
Last year, I hosted a successful New Year party for the elderly and they enjoyed a great time. Many expressed a desire to attend another party the following year. When I reflect on my accomplishments, I'm especially proud of my service at the old folks' home, so I hope to study social work at university and work as a social worker in the future. I wish to be more skilled in attending to the less fortunate as well as gain great satisfaction from it, after all.

Sure, it's good to get along well with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.
And yes, it's good to get along well with your teacher because, in general, it's smart to learn how to get along well with the different types of people you'll meet throughout your life.
In fact, kids who get along well with their teachers not only learn more, but they're more comfortable with asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier for them to understand new materials and makes them do their best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school issues.
Here is a question: What if you don't get along with your teachers In fact, teachers want to get along well with you and enjoy seeing you learn. But teachers and students sometimes have personality clashes (个性冲突), which can happen between any two people. If you show your teacher that you want to make the situation better, he or she will probably do everything possible to make that happen. By dealing with a problem like this, you learn something about how to get along with people who are different from you.
However, if a certain teacher isn't your favourite, you can still have a successful relationship with him or her as long as you take your basic responsibilities as a student. Here are some of those responsibilities:
Attend class ready to learn.
Be prepared for class with the right stationery, books, and completed homework.
Listen when your teacher is talking.
Do your best, whether it's a classroom assignment, homework, or a test.
8. What will happen to you when getting along well with your teachers according to the passage
A．We will have no problems with study.
B．We will get a better seat in the classroom.
C．We will get the best scores in the exams.
D．We will have more pleasant time in the classroom.
9. If you don't like a certain teacher, what should you do according to the author
A．We should ignore the differences between the teacher and us.
B．We should choose a new school.
C．We should study harder on weekends.
D．We should take our basic responsibilities as a student.
10. Whom is the passage mostly written for
A．Teachers. B．Students.
C．Parents. D．Graduates.
11. What does the passage mainly talk about
A．Studying skills for students.
B．The importance of a good relationship with your teachers.
C．The importance of friendship in school.
D．Useful skills to get along well with your parents.

There are over 6，000 languages spoken in the world. But did you know that some of them are in danger of dying out From Dusner (three speakers) to Kelabit (five thousand), these languages are spread all over the world, but they all have one thing in common: unless we act soon, they could become extinct (灭绝的).
Researchers at Oxford University are studying these languages. And Dr Johanneke Sytsema, who has organised a popular seminar (研讨会) on endangered languages, thinks there could be a magic bullet for keeping minority languages alive: social media. “Social media could help save a language，” Dr Sytsema says. “Because young people text each other in the same way they speak, even if they don't know how to spell it.”
Minority languages are often at risk of being drowned out (压过) by the louder voices of the bigger languages, which are spoken at school and in the media. But, with social media giving control to the users, the popularity of social media might just have the opposite effect.
Dr Sytsema has first-hand experience: she speaks Frisian. Frisian, spoken in a province in the Netherlands called Friesland, has 350，000 speakers. Using her own language has given Dr Sytsema food for thought about how languages could be saved in the future. “In Friesland, young people who don't learn much Frisian writing at school send each other messages on social media in Frisian，” she says. In this way, a new generation of Frisian speakers keeps the language alive.
According to Dr Sytsema, our languages, like our wildlife, are natural creations. “Natural beauty needs to be protected. Once languages die, you don't get them back, because they've grown over thousands and thousands of years，” Dr Sytsema explains. “Every language has its own beauty. And that's why it's so important.”
12. Why does the author mention Dusner and Kelabit
A．To describe the richness of human language.
B．To discuss the influence of language on culture.
C．To explain the importance of cultural exchange.
D．To show the serious situation of endangered languages.
13. What do the underlined words “a magic bullet” mean in Paragraph 2
A．A challenging task.
B．An effective solution.
C．An open standard.
D．A common goal.
14. What gave Dr Sytsema the idea of language protection
A．Teaching at a language school.
B．The popularity of Frisian on social media.
C．Her personal experience with Frisian.
D．Working with young people in Friesland.
15. What message does Dr Sytsema want to give us in the last paragraph
A．A language is well worth saving.
B．Society is shaping human language.
C．The extinction of languages can be avoided.
D．The young hold the key to language protection.
Ⅱ. 七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
Nowadays, more and more people like going on trips during the holidays. And the flights and hotels are often too expensive. Do you still want to get away this summer 　16　 If you're interested in getting a bit closer to nature, and don't mind dirty shoes and wet tents (帐篷), it might be the holiday for you. However, you'll need to be prepared. 　17　
Do some planning first. If it's your first time, you don't need to buy every piece of camping equipment—you may never go again! But do get the important things. Most experts say it's worthwhile spending money on a good tent. 　18　 It suggests getting one that's “a size or two bigger than the number of people using it”. For example, if there are two of you going camping, get a three-person or four-person tent to have space for your bags.
　19　 You can put the tent up in your garden, or even put it inside your room, to see what it's like and how it works. There are lots of websites that give you lists of the other things you'll need. But don't forget a first-aid packet and some “just-in-case” things—including extra clothes, food and coats in case things go wrong.
Think about the place you're going to. Check the facilities (设施) it has, and perhaps choose one close to home in case you forget something or find out that you hate the whole experience! 　20　
A．If so, here's an idea: Camping.
B．Buying the proper tent is a key step.
C．It keeps many people from enjoying the fun.
D．It's also a good idea to check your tent before you travel.
E．Mountain Warehouse is an outdoor equipment company.
F．Luckily, there's lots of advice online for first-time campers.
G．But finally, the most important thing that you should care about is to be safe!

I never planned on learning Chinese. Even when I found out I was going to Hong Kong, I thought that I would be able to 　21　 with English. It didn't take long for me to realise how naive (天真的) I was.

I had Chinese every weekday, after which I spent at least an hour 　24　 the lesson. In the evening my friends and I quizzed each other on the 　25　 we had to memorise. More importantly, I made a conscious 　26　 to speak in Chinese in stores and restaurants. I was 　27　 when I was able to maintain a simple conversation with the locals.
When I 　28　 achieved A's on my Chinese exams, I thought it was time to take a break from studying Chinese every day and focus on my other classes. Unluckily, this turned out to be a(n) 　29　. Due to the break my whole study habits were 　30　 and the other lessons themselves were getting harder. I had to 　31　 new study methods and started over.
With finals drawing near, I have set my golden rule: there isn't a(n) 　32　 way to learn a new language. Once you realise and accept that you are a 　33　，it becomes an ongoing process of exploration, failure, rethinking, and trying again. Can I speak out it smoothly now Not even 　34　. And I may never be. But I learned how to be honest with myself and push through 　35　．

In a picturesque town surrounded by majestic mountains, there lived a nature enthusiast named Jack and his grandfather, a retired park worker. The mountains were their sanctuary, a place of peace and exploration.
Jack grew up hiking and exploring the mountains with his grandfather. They shared a deep love for nature and its inhabitants. One weekend, they planned a hike to the summit of Eagle Peak, a challenging but rewarding climb.
As they ascended the rugged trails, Jack and his grandfather enjoyed the beautiful views and the serenity (宁静) of the mountains. They were experienced hikers, prepared for the journey with supplies and knowledge of nature.
As they neared the summit, Jack heard a faint meowing. Following the sound, he found a small, poor cat hiding under a bush, looking weak and scared. It was surprising to find a domestic cat so far up the mountain, and it was clear the cat was lost and starving.
Jack was immediately concerned for the cat. He knew they couldn't leave it there to fend for itself in the wild. However, they were hours away from the nearest town and bringing the cat along was risky. It could slow them down or even get scared and run off.
After a brief discussion, Jack and his grandfather decided to rescue the cat. They used a spare jacket to create a makeshift carrier. The cat, though hesitant at first, seemed to understand they were trying to help and settled down in the jacket.
The descent was more challenging than they anticipated. They had to move slowly to ensure the cat's safety, and the added responsibility required extra caution. As they navigated the rocky paths, Jack felt a bond forming with the little cat, who peeked out from the jacket, seemingly curious about its surroundings.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
They reached the town at dusk, tired but fulfilled and Jack named the cat “Summit” as a reminder of their unique encounter. _________________________________________________

Summit thrived in Jack's care, growing into a healthy and affectionate cat. _______________

B　词义猜测题。根据画线词下文“‘Social media could help save a language，’ Dr Sytsema says. ‘Because young people text each other in the same way they speak, even if they don't know how to spell it.’”可知，Sytsema博士认为社交媒体可以帮助拯救一门语言。由此推知a magic bullet应是“一种有效的方法”之意，和B项意思相近。故选B。
14. What gave Dr Sytsema the idea of language protection
A．Teaching at a language school.
B．The popularity of Frisian on social media.
C．Her personal experience with Frisian.
D．Working with young people in Friesland.
C　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Dr Sytsema has first-hand experience: she speaks Frisian. Frisian, spoken in a province in the Netherlands called Friesland, has 350，000 speakers.” “In this way, a new generation of Frisian speakers keeps the language alive.”可知，Sytsema在弗里斯兰的个人经历使她有了通过社交媒体保护语言的想法。故选C。
15. What message does Dr Sytsema want to give us in the last paragraph
A．A language is well worth saving.
B．Society is shaping human language.
C．The extinction of languages can be avoided.
D．The young hold the key to language protection.
A　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“According to Dr Sytsema, our languages, like our wildlife, are natural creations. ‘Natural beauty needs to be protected.’”可知，在最后一段Sytsema博士想表达的是一门语言非常值得保护。故选A。
Ⅱ. 七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
Nowadays, more and more people like going on trips during the holidays. And the flights and hotels are often too expensive. Do you still want to get away this summer 　16　 If you're interested in getting a bit closer to nature, and don't mind dirty shoes and wet tents (帐篷), it might be the holiday for you. However, you'll need to be prepared. 　17　
Do some planning first. If it's your first time, you don't need to buy every piece of camping equipment—you may never go again! But do get the important things. Most experts say it's worthwhile spending money on a good tent. 　18　 It suggests getting one that's “a size or two bigger than the number of people using it”. For example, if there are two of you going camping, get a three-person or four-person tent to have space for your bags.
　19　 You can put the tent up in your garden, or even put it inside your room, to see what it's like and how it works. There are lots of websites that give you lists of the other things you'll need. But don't forget a first-aid packet and some “just-in-case” things—including extra clothes, food and coats in case things go wrong.
Think about the place you're going to. Check the facilities (设施) it has, and perhaps choose one close to home in case you forget something or find out that you hate the whole experience! 　20　
A．If so, here's an idea: Camping.
B．Buying the proper tent is a key step.
C．It keeps many people from enjoying the fun.
D．It's also a good idea to check your tent before you travel.
E．Mountain Warehouse is an outdoor equipment company.
F．Luckily, there's lots of advice online for first-time campers.
G．But finally, the most important thing that you should care about is to be safe!
答案：16～20　AFEDG

阅读材料，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。
In a picturesque town surrounded by majestic mountains, there lived a nature enthusiast named Jack and his grandfather, a retired park worker. The mountains were their sanctuary, a place of peace and exploration.
Jack grew up hiking and exploring the mountains with his grandfather. They shared a deep love for nature and its inhabitants. One weekend, they planned a hike to the summit of Eagle Peak, a challenging but rewarding climb.
As they ascended the rugged trails, Jack and his grandfather enjoyed the beautiful views and the serenity (宁静) of the mountains. They were experienced hikers, prepared for the journey with supplies and knowledge of nature.
As they neared the summit, Jack heard a faint meowing. Following the sound, he found a small, poor cat hiding under a bush, looking weak and scared. It was surprising to find a domestic cat so far up the mountain, and it was clear the cat was lost and starving.
Jack was immediately concerned for the cat. He knew they couldn't leave it there to fend for itself in the wild. However, they were hours away from the nearest town and bringing the cat along was risky. It could slow them down or even get scared and run off.
After a brief discussion, Jack and his grandfather decided to rescue the cat. They used a spare jacket to create a makeshift carrier. The cat, though hesitant at first, seemed to understand they were trying to help and settled down in the jacket.
The descent was more challenging than they anticipated. They had to move slowly to ensure the cat's safety, and the added responsibility required extra caution. As they navigated the rocky paths, Jack felt a bond forming with the little cat, who peeked out from the jacket, seemingly curious about its surroundings.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
They reached the town at dusk, tired but fulfilled and Jack named the cat “Summit” as a reminder of their unique encounter. _________________________________________________

There are five people in my family. We live happily together. There are many things occurring around us, creating many wonderful and loving moments in my memory.
Last weekend, my parents and I celebrated my grandpa's birthday happily. On the early morning of the big day, my grandpa and I set out for the park. Considering his age, I accompanied him to the top of the mountain by cable car. Enjoying the beautiful scenery, we couldn't help taking lots of photos. When we came back home at noon, my parents had already prepared a big lunch for us.
Seeing the smile on my grandpa's face, I was glad and proud to have done something to show my love to him.
第二节　读后续写
They reached the town at dusk, tired but fulfilled and Jack named the cat “Summit” as a reminder of their unique encounter. He took Summit home, where the cat quickly became a part of the family. Jack learned to care for Summit, providing food, love, and a warm home. The experience on the mountain taught Jack a valuable lesson about compassion and responsibility. He had saved a life, and in return, Summit brought joy and companionship into his own. The story of their mountain rescue spread through the town, inspiring others to be kind and caring towards animals in need.
Summit thrived in Jack's care, growing into a healthy and affectionate cat. Jack and his grandfather continued their mountain adventures, but now with a new story to tell—about the day they made a furry friend on Eagle Peak. Their adventure became a proof of the unexpected surprises of nature and the bonds that can form in the most unlikely of circumstances. It was a reminder that sometimes, the greatest rewards aren't found at the summit but in the journey and the lives we touch along the way.
