There has been a battle raging in my living room — a deep-rooted standoff that began when I was a child of about nine. That is the age I was when my parents purchased a second-hand piano to support my continuing musical training.
Some may characterize it as a love-hate relationship, even though I believe the bond between us is more than that. Of course, on the “hate” side there were plenty of frustrating hours spent practicing, the forced performances for relatives, the trimmed fingernails. And the responsibility I had to shoulder, as my family sacrificed a lot for me to have piano lessons, because I had talent. My teachers said so and, truthfully, my heart said so, too. But all too often it felt like a burden.
There was also love on that piano bench. There were times when I could feel the music ring through me. I could feel it vibrate through my fingers. The connection between two people when performing a duet was beautiful. When my music landed on my audience it made me want to play forever.
But my musical talent did not survive my teenage years. It was no competition for the freedom I sought and eventually fought for. When I had a home of my own, the piano mostly sat unloved or at least unused, feeling fingers on the keys only during Christmas and when my own children took piano lessons.
I know every inch of this piano. I spent years of my life in front of this piano. Awaiting my free will to ripen enough to release me from lessons. Awaiting my life to begin. Awaiting my mother to leave the room so I could secretly read my book while practicing scales.
It feels like I am giving away the family pet. So here I sit playing my last tune before the movers take the piano away and surprisingly there lies a growing desire for something else. It is time to clear the air to let in a different melody. Time to say, “Thank you for being part of my life,” take a bow and leave the stage... with one final note rising up alongside the dust in a sunbeam.

A. Conflict. B. Challenge. C. Relationship. D. Understanding.

A. She lacked the talent in playing the piano.
B. She had to give up activities she enjoyed.

B. The piano took away the author’s freedom.
C. The author made a great effort to learn piano.
D. The author preferred reading to playing the piano.
27. What is the most suitable title for the passage

Math anxiety has become a common psychological condition among students around the world. Students in countries with higher levels of math anxiety tend to achieve lower math grades, according to a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on Feb 15.
Math anxiety--a negative emotional reaction to the core subject--causes fear, physical suffering and behavior problems among young pupils, according to a University of Cambridge study. In ordinary life, many people experience some degree of discomfort when confronted with a math problem, ranging from mild tension to strong fear.
Some people also experience physical symptoms such as sweaty palms or a racing heart. They may then try to avoid numbers-related situations, meaning they are held back from pursuing careers related to the subject, such as science, technology or engineering, according to The Guardian.
Relief comes from the fact that those with math anxiety aren’t destined to be bad at math. “If a child has math anxiety, don’t assume that they’re not good at math. They may have had a really bad experience with math,” Daniel Ansari, the senior author of the study told The London Free Press. “Students with math anxiety are not cognitively(认知地) disadvantaged.”
Also, there are ways to manage your math-related stress. If you’re stressed before a math exam, spend a few minutes exploring those feelings before the exam begins. “It’s about making sure you’re interpreting your feelings correctly,” Sian Beilock, a cognitive scientist told the BBC. “A fast heartbeat and sweaty palms don't necessarily mean you will fail.”
A little math anxiety could be taken as a positive challenge to overcome. Just like many people get stage fright before delivering a speech, this nervous energy can help to motivate, according to Ian Lyons, a psychologist at Georgetown University.
Math doesn't come easy, no matter how clever you are. Leonardo da Vinci, the famous Italian artist, was a huge fan of mathematics. But his notebooks show that Da Vinci couldn't do fractions(分数). He could never grasp, for instance, that dividing a number by one-quarter is the same as multiplying by four, resulting in a higher number than the original.
28. What do we know about math anxiety
A. It is common merely among students.
B. It can cause physical and emotional discomfort.
C. People with math anxiety are often bad at maths.
D. It leads to people struggling in their career.
29. Which of the following statements will Daniel Ansari agree with according to his study
A. Math anxiety may contribute to better grades.
B. Bad experience with math can cause cognitive disadvantages.
C. Math anxiety is not related to the ability to solve math problems.
D. Students with math anxiety may indeed experience lower math scores.
30. How should you deal with the stress related to math according to the article
A. Avoid thinking about failures in math. B. Learn to make sense of your feelings.
C. Take all nervous energy as a challenge. D. Pay little attention to your math anxiety.
31. Why is Leonardo da Vinci's story mentioned
A. To show that math anxiety is very common.
B. To suggest a way to solve math anxiety.
C. To show it’s not easy for da Vinci to learn math.
D. To explain why math is a difficult subject to learn.
D
“The climate time bomb is ticking,” said UN secretary-general Antonio Guterres at a recent meeting. Preventing global warming from reaching the 1.5 °C limit is “achievable” but it will take a giant leap in climate action, Guterres added.
As cities develop, some sources of carbon emissions (排放) may be hard to notice for most people, for example, the bricks used in buildings. US company Biomason has produced bio-based cement (水泥), which can sharply cut emissions during traditional cement production.
“We grow cement the same way nature does,” wrote the company’s website. How the cement is “grown” is based on biomineralization, the process by which living organisms produce minerals. One example of biomineralization is coral reefs. Massive reef structures are formed when each individual stony coral produces calcium carbonate, a kind of mineral. Although the stony corals are tiny, one reef structure, built by millions of stony corals, can grow to weigh several tons.
This biobased cement alternative is called Biolith. During the production of each Biolith tile, bacteria and nutrients are mixed with sand. Organisms then produce calcium carbonate by absorbing a liquid made of calcium and nitrogen (氮). However, the process doesn’t change the size of the Biolith tile instead, it increases the density. The produced calcium carbonate forms bridges between the grains, strengthening the unit from within. It takes less than 72 hours to let a Biolith tile “grow” fully, while traditional concrete requires about 28 days to make a brick.
The company aims to “remove 25 percent of carbon emissions from the concrete industry by 2030,” according to its website. Traditional concrete is made of crushed stones. The process involves heating the stone to temperatures greater than 1,300 °C, during which carbon dioxide is emitted. The manufacture of Biolith, however, doesn’t involve heating, which greatly reduces carbon emissions. The company plans on increasing the use of bio-based bricks, covering 35,000 square meters in Europe by the end of this year.
32.What is biomineralization
A. The process of producing bio-based cement.
B. The process of controlling calcium carbonate.
C. The process of producing minerals by living organisms.
D. The process of absorbing a liquid made of calcium and nitrogen.
33. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE about the production of Biolith
A. It requires temperatures greater than 1,300°C.
B. It takes as long as traditional concrete to fully harden.
C. It involves the use of living organisms to create calcium carbonate.
D. It releases more carbon dioxide than traditional concrete production.
34. What is the main advantage of Biolith over traditional concrete
A. It makes bricks larger and more durable.
B. It requires no heating, cutting carbon emissions.
C. It reduces the amount of sand used in construction.
D. It reduces the time needed for concrete to set by half.
35. Which of the following best summarizes the purpose of the article
A. To explain how climate change affects coral reefs.
B. To highlight the difficulties in creating eco-friendly cement.
C. To discuss global climate goals and their impact on construction.
D. To describe a company’s efforts to reduce emissions in the concrete industry.

Standing on the edge of the plane, looking at the ground below, my tandem skydiving(双人跳伞) instructor, Bill, turned to face me. "Do you have any last words ’’ he asked. “Yes, "I said, joking. “I hope my parachute opens.”
I'd never felt more alive as Bill and I stepped out and started our freefall. Those first few seconds were amazing. I felt like a weightless piece of paper. As we reached 44,000 feet, I felt a parachute open above us. This, I was told, would slow us down for a smooth descent(下降). So why were we still traveling so fast Confusion turned to panic as I glanced upward: The parachute was flopping(彻底失败) unopened in the wind.
My heart raced. I could hear Bill swearing as he tried to fix whatever had gone wrong.
Seconds passed, which felt like forever, until finally our emergency parachute opened. Except it got caught in the first one, making both parachutes useless. I asked Bill, “Are we going to die ” He said he didn't know.
At that moment, I just felt guilty. I’d brought my family along for the day: my parents, sisters, their partners and children. I’d invited them along to watch me die. I prayed for a second chance, for a miracle that would allow me to go back and redo the moments leading up to the jump. I prayed….
We hit the ground. I was immediately breathless, and an unimaginable pain shot up my back as we bounced into a lake on a golf course. I was somehow still alive. Gathering all my strength, I turned to face Bill. His screams of agony(极度痛苦) filled the air. From neck down, I could barely move.
We were found by some golfers, who quickly summoned emergency services. My mother and sisters cried uncontrollably as Bill was put into a helicopter, and I was placed into an ambulance.

Mr. Perkins stood at the bus stop and watched the cars go by. Many of the cars were new Beta 400s,
and most of them were yellow. Mr. Perkins always wore the same clothes as other men, ate the same
food as other people, and did the same things after work and at the end of the week Mr. Perkins did
not like to be different. (17)The following week, Mr. Perkins bought a new, bright yellow Beta 400s. He
was satisfied with it, and drove to work in it the very next day.(18) He was even more satisfied with his
new car when he saw all the other Beta 400s in front, behind, and on both sides of him.
Mr. Perkins parked his car in a big parking lot near his office, and worked the rest of the day. But
when he came back at five o’clock,(20) there were so many bright yellow Beta 400s in the parking lot that
he did not know which was his car. He tried his key in some of the cars, but people passing by gave him a
look he didn’t like. So he stopped. Poor Mr. Perkins had to wait nearly two hours until his car was the
only one left in the parking lot.(19)(20)

Para 1: The next four or five months were really challenging. I had broken my back, and the doctors
said I was really lucky to still be breathing. But the injury meant I couldn’t walk, and my long, dull stay in
the hospital left me yearning for the outdoors. Despite my family’s constant presence and encouragement, I
sank into despair. After being discharged from the hospital, I isolated myself, locking my bedroom door and
relying on painkillers to numb both physical and emotional pain. The thought of facing the world outside
terrified me, and I couldn’t see a way forward. Yet, deep down, I knew I couldn’t live like this forever.
Para 2: Years later, I heard that Bill had made a full recovery and returned to skydiving. I was
shocked and wondered how he managed it. With my family’s encouragement, I gathered the courage to
visit Bill again. Our conversation was brief, but it left a lasting impact on me. His strong will and
persistence reignited something in me. I realized that life is too short to live in fear. Nothing compares to
falling from 44,000 feet without a parachute and surviving—it forced me to re-evaluate everything. We
made a promise that day: I would try tandem skydiving again, not as a test of fate, but to embrace life’s
weightless, freeing moments.
Para 1: The next four or five months were really challenging. My severely injured back caused
constant, unbearable pain. What’s worse, at first, I was unable to move on my own, forcing me to rely
completely on my family for everything. Watching them rush around to care for me, I felt like a fool,
regretting my reckless decision to make that dangerous jump. The frustration in my heart matched the
physical pain in my body, making the recovery process feel endless. Although I eventually began to regain
some normalcy, I was convinced that the darkest days of my life would forever keep me grounded, far from
ever skydiving again.
Para 2: Years later, I heard that Bill had made a full recovery and returned to skydiving. The news
excited and confused me, as I had been told that Bill’s injuries were even more severe than mine, and surely
his recovery would have been longer and harder. I called him to offer my congratulations and to ask the
question that had been bothering me: “Aren’t you afraid of skydiving after the accident ” After a brief
silence, he responded calmly, “I love skydiving. Since God gave me another chance at life, I want to pursue
what I love.” His words struck a chord with me—perhaps the true value lies not in avoiding pain, but in
finding courage and gratitude in the face of it, between life and death.

There has been a battle raging in my living room — a deep-rooted standoff that began when I was a
child of about nine. That is the age I was when my parents purchased a second-hand piano to support my
continuing musical training.
Some may characterize it as a love-hate relationship, even though I believe the bond between us is
more than that. Of course, on the “hate” side there were plenty of frustrating hours spent practicing, the
forced performances for relatives, the trimmed fingernails. And the responsibility I had to shoulder, as my
family sacrificed a lot for me to have piano lessons, because I had talent. My teachers said so and,
truthfully, my heart said so, too. But all too often it felt like a burden.
There was also love on that piano bench. There were times when I could feel the music ring through
me. I could feel it vibrate through my fingers. The connection between two people when performing a duet
was beautiful. When my music landed on my audience it made me want to play forever.
But my musical talent did not survive my teenage years. It was no competition for the freedom I
sought and eventually fought for. When I had a home of my own, the piano mostly sat unloved or at least
unused, feeling fingers on the keys only during Christmas and when my own children took piano lessons.
I know every inch of this piano. I spent years of my life in front of this piano. Awaiting my free will to
ripen enough to release me from lessons. Awaiting my life to begin. Awaiting my mother to leave the room
so I could secretly read my book while practicing scales.
It feels like I am giving away the family pet. So here I sit playing my last tune before the movers take
the piano away and surprisingly there lies a growing desire for something else. It is time to clear the air to
let in a different melody. Time to say, “Thank you for being part of my life,” take a bow and leave the
stage... with one final note rising up alongside the dust in a sunbeam.

Math anxiety has become a common psychological condition among students around the world.
Students in countries with higher levels of math anxiety tend to achieve lower math grades, according to a
study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on Feb 15.
Math anxiety--a negative emotional reaction to the core subject--causes fear, physical suffering and
behavior problems among young pupils, according to a University of Cambridge study. In ordinary life,
many people experience some degree of discomfort when confronted with a math problem, ranging from
mild tension to strong fear.
Some people also experience physical symptoms such as sweaty palms or a racing heart. They may
then try to avoid numbers-related situations, meaning they are held back from pursuing careers related to
the subject, such as science, technology or engineering, according to The Guardian.
Relief comes from the fact that those with math anxiety aren’t destined to be bad at math. “If a child
has math anxiety, don’t assume that they’re not good at math. They may have had a really bad experience
with math,” Daniel Ansari, the senior author of the study told The London Free Press. “Students with math
anxiety are not cognitively(认知地) disadvantaged.”
Also, there are ways to manage your math-related stress. If you’re stressed before a math exam, spend
a few minutes exploring those feelings before the exam begins. “It’s about making sure you’re interpreting
your feelings correctly,” Sian Beilock, a cognitive scientist told the BBC. “A fast heartbeat and sweaty
palms don't necessarily mean you will fail.”
A little math anxiety could be taken as a positive challenge to overcome. Just like many people get
stage fright before delivering a speech, this nervous energy can help to motivate, according to Ian Lyons, a
psychologist at Georgetown University.
Math doesn't come easy, no matter how clever you are. Leonardo da Vinci, the famous Italian artist,
was a huge fan of mathematics. But his notebooks show that Da Vinci couldn't do fractions(分数 ). He
could never grasp, for instance, that dividing a number by one-quarter is the same as multiplying by four,
resulting in a higher number than the original.
28. What do we know about math anxiety
A. It is common merely among students.
B. It can cause physical and emotional discomfort.
C. People with math anxiety are often bad at maths.
D. It leads to people struggling in their career.
29. Which of the following statements will Daniel Ansari agree with according to his study
A. Math anxiety may contribute to better grades.
B. Bad experience with math can cause cognitive disadvantages.
C. Math anxiety is not related to the ability to solve math problems.
D. Students with math anxiety may indeed experience lower math scores.
30. How should you deal with the stress related to math according to the article
A. Avoid thinking about failures in math. B. Learn to make sense of your feelings.
C. Take all nervous energy as a challenge. D. Pay little attention to your math anxiety.

“The climate time bomb is ticking,” said UN secretary-general Antonio Guterres at a recent meeting.
Preventing global warming from reaching the 1.5 °C limit is “achievable” but it will take a giant leap in
climate action, Guterres added.
As cities develop, some sources of carbon emissions (排放) may be hard to notice for most people, for
example, the bricks used in buildings. US company Biomason has produced bio-based cement (水泥 ),
which can sharply cut emissions during traditional cement production.
“We grow cement the same way nature does,” wrote the company’s website. How the cement is
“grown” is based on biomineralization, the process by which living organisms produce minerals. One
example of biomineralization is coral reefs. Massive reef structures are formed when each individual stony
coral produces calcium carbonate, a kind of mineral. Although the stony corals are tiny, one reef structure,
built by millions of stony corals, can grow to weigh several tons.
This biobased cement alternative is called Biolith. During the production of each Biolith tile, bacteria
and nutrients are mixed with sand. Organisms then produce calcium carbonate by absorbing a liquid made
of calcium and nitrogen (氮 ). However, the process doesn’t change the size of the Biolith tile instead, it
increases the density. The produced calcium carbonate forms bridges between the grains, strengthening the
unit from within. It takes less than 72 hours to let a Biolith tile “grow” fully, while traditional concrete
requires about 28 days to make a brick.
The company aims to “remove 25 percent of carbon emissions from the concrete industry by 2030,”
according to its website. Traditional concrete is made of crushed stones. The process involves heating the
stone to temperatures greater than 1,300 °C, during which carbon dioxide is emitted. The manufacture of
Biolith, however, doesn’t involve heating, which greatly reduces carbon emissions. The company plans on
increasing the use of bio-based bricks, covering 35,000 square meters in Europe by the end of this year.
32.What is biomineralization
A. The process of producing bio-based cement.
B. The process of controlling calcium carbonate.
C. The process of producing minerals by living organisms.
D. The process of absorbing a liquid made of calcium and nitrogen.
33. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE about the production of Biolith
A. It requires temperatures greater than 1,300°C.
B. It takes as long as traditional concrete to fully harden.
C. It involves the use of living organisms to create calcium carbonate.
D. It releases more carbon dioxide than traditional concrete production.
34. What is the main advantage of Biolith over traditional concrete
A. It makes bricks larger and more durable.
B. It requires no heating, cutting carbon emissions.
C. It reduces the amount of sand used in construction.
D. It reduces the time needed for concrete to set by half.
35. Which of the following best summarizes the purpose of the article
A. To explain how climate change affects coral reefs.
B. To highlight the difficulties in creating eco-friendly cement.
C. To discuss global climate goals and their impact on construction.
D. To describe a company’s efforts to reduce emissions in the concrete industry.

school trips. We watched a TV program, Horrible Histories, in an old barn, and traveled to Wales to see
Roman baths and the ruins of their old barracks(营房). My favorite 46 by far was the opportunity to
participate in a Christmas carol service inside Bristol Cathedral.
As with all jobs, the fun didn’t come without its set of 47 . A large percentage of the children in
the class had special educational needs which, at times, were very hard to manage as I previously had 48
experience with this. 49 , it was so gratifying to learn how to work and form relationships with each

Wales when I sat with one student with autism(自闭症 ). We spent the whole coach ride laughing and
singing together, 51 our own songs while he tried to convince me to download his favorite video
game.
The whole experience was undoubtedly rewarding and something I will always 52 on with joy.

Hello everyone, welcome to our Paper-Cutting Club!
第二节 (满分 25分)
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。
Standing on the edge of the plane, looking at the ground below, my tandem skydiving(双人跳伞 )
instructor, Bill, turned to face me. "Do you have any last words ’’ he asked. “Yes, "I said, joking. “I hope
my parachute opens.”
I'd never felt more alive as Bill and I stepped out and started our freefall. Those first few seconds were
amazing. I felt like a weightless piece of paper. As we reached 44,000 feet, I felt a parachute open above us.
This, I was told, would slow us down for a smooth descent(下降). So why were we still traveling so fast
Confusion turned to panic as I glanced upward: The parachute was flopping(彻底失败) unopened in the
wind.
My heart raced. I could hear Bill swearing as he tried to fix whatever had gone wrong.
Seconds passed, which felt like forever, until finally our emergency parachute opened. Except it got
caught in the first one, making both parachutes useless. I asked Bill, “Are we going to die ” He said he
didn't know.
At that moment, I just felt guilty. I’d brought my family along for the day: my parents, sisters, their
partners and children. I’d invited them along to watch me die. I prayed for a second chance, for a miracle
that would allow me to go back and redo the moments leading up to the jump. I prayed….
We hit the ground. I was immediately breathless, and an unimaginable pain shot up my back as we
bounced into a lake on a golf course. I was somehow still alive. Gathering all my strength, I turned to face
Bill. His screams of agony(极度痛苦) filled the air. From neck down, I could barely move.
We were found by some golfers, who quickly summoned emergency services. My mother and sisters
cried uncontrollably as Bill was put into a helicopter, and I was placed into an ambulance.
注意：
（1）续写词数应为 150个左右；
（2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
The next four or five months were really challenging.
Years later, I heard that Bill made a full recovery and returned to skydiving.
