阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

High school is a time of great change and growth. For many students, it’s the first time they have to manage their own studies, make new friends, and balance different activities. Here are some practical tips to help you make the most of your high school years.
First, develop good study habits. Unlike middle school, high school courses are more challenging. It’s important to take notes in class, review them regularly, and finish homework on time. You can also create a study schedule to avoid cramming (临时抱佛脚) before exams.
Second, build meaningful relationships. High school is a great place to meet people with similar interests. Join clubs or sports teams that you like. Not only will you make friends, but you’ll also learn teamwork and leadership skills. Remember to be kind and respectful to others — friendships take time to grow.
Finally, take care of yourself. Getting enough sleep, eating healthy food, and exercising regularly are essential for your physical and mental health. Don’t be too hard on yourself if you make mistakes — high school is a learning process, and everyone grows at their own pace.
21. What is the main idea of the passage
A. How to succeed in high school exams.
B. Tips for adapting to high school life.
C. The importance of making friends in high school.
D. Ways to improve physical health in high school.
22. According to the passage, what should students do to deal with challenging courses
A. Cram before exams.
B. Skip difficult classes.
C. Develop good study habits.
D. Ask teachers for help every day.

Do some housework; make an English video to introduce a Chinese custom; read aloud Home Letters by Fu Lei; learn about a new hobby...
These things are part of the winter holiday homework of Lili, an eighth-grader from Zhengzhou, Henan. During the first long holiday after the “double reduction” policy (双减政策) was introduced, Lili found herself doing more practice-based learning instead of always having her nose in workbooks.
“I feel more relaxed this holiday, since the homework is clearly much less and more enjoyable,” said Lili. With more free time, she could also develop new hobbies like figure skating and stargazing.
Like Li, many junior high students welcome the changes brought by the policy. Yifei, 16, said she visited the local museum in Xi’an, as part of her homework. We explored intangible cultural heritage. It’s more fun than memorizing things from books,” Yi said. Another big difference for her is that she doesn’t have tutoring classes anymore.” This give me more time to play badminton and gradually get healthier.”
Some students, however, feel anxious about the changes. “I used to take many tutoring classes, but now I’ve lost their instruction and need to depend on myself”, said ninth-grader Xiao Zhou, “I felt more stressed this holiday.”
The goal of the double reduction policy, according to Wang Jian, director of the Education Department at Shanghai Normal University, is to let students learn more effectively and develop all-round abilities. “It’s challenging for students to be independent and self-directed learners, but this will help them become more creative and find their true gifts.”
24. What did Lili do during the first long holiday after the “double reduction” policy was introduced
A. Wrote her homework at home
B. Developed hobbies like skating and star observing
C. Did some practice-based learning
D. Both B and C
25. Which of the following is TRUE
A. All the students enjoy the change brought by the policy.
B. Some students may feel more stressed because they need to be more independent.
C. Yifei used to explore local museums as her homework in her holiday.
D Lili now has more time to have tutoring class in her holiday.
26. What’s the purpose of double reduction according to Wang Jian
A. Students can finish their homework effectively.
B. Students can develop their hobbies.
C. Students can learn more effectively and develop all-around abilities
D. Students have more time to have tutoring classes in their holiday.
27. What’s the best title of this passage
A. Enjoying the holiday B. Develop new hobbies
C. The introduction of “double reduction” D. Doing homework at home
C
Scientists are enlisting some unusual recruits in their efforts to forecast earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other natural phenomena. Thousands of dogs, goats and other farm animals, as well as a wide range of wildlife, are being enrolled in studies that monitor their movements from space.
The project uses tiny digital transmitters fitted to mammals, birds and even insects. These devices allow researchers to track animals’ movements through a dedicated satellite, scheduled for launch next year. While the study aims to observe how animals respond to approaching natural events such as earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, its purpose goes far beyond disaster prediction. According to scientists, it also helps provide new insights into migration, the spread of diseases among animals and the effects of climate crisis on wildlife.
The value of studying tagged animals has already been demonstrated in early experiments on the slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily. Sensors attached to goats showed that the animals became nervous before volcanic eruptions and refused to move to higher grazing areas they would normally be happy to visit. This abrupt disruption of normal behavior points to an aversion — a deeply ingrained instinct shaped by environmental threat signals rather than deliberate judgment. Similar studies in the Abruzzo mountains outside Rome found that dogs, sheep and other farm animals reacted in ways that predicted seven out of eight major earthquakes in the region over a 12-year period.
Accounts of animals behaving unusually before natural disasters are not new. For instance, the Greek historian Thucydides recorded that animals fled the city of Helice shortly before an earthquake in 373 BC. Likewise, before the 1975 Haicheng earthquake in China, snakes and rats were witnessed leaving their burrows.
Why animals behave this way is still unclear. During the build-up to an earthquake, geological plates release ions into the air, which animals may be able to sense, said Martin Wikelski, founder of the International Cooperation for Animal Research Using Space (Icarus). Advances in tagging technology have made such studies possible, with modern transmitters weighing only a few grams.
Beyond geological research, scientists can also use the technology to monitor wildlife health. For example, electronic ear tags attached to wild pigs have shown that African swine fever, a highly contagious virus, spreads easily between wild and domestic pigs. “This information could help limit the disease’s impact on farms. The same technology is expected to shed light on animal mations and how species respond to habitat changes triggered by global warming,” said Wikelski.
28. What can be inferred from the study described in the text
A. It enables large-scale remote observation of animal responses.
B. It aims to gain insights into the spread of diseases among people.
C. It shows goats on Mount Etna avoid higher grazing areas by nature.
D. It proves farm animals like dogs can accurately predict earthquakes.
29. What does the underlined word “aversion” in paragraph 3 most probably refer to
A. A conscious decision requiring reasoning ability.
B. A learned behavior based on previous experience.
C. A temporary emotional reaction to unfamiliar surroundings.
D. A built- in tendency to withdraw when exposed to danger cues.
30. How does the author develop paragraph 4
A. By quoting expert opinions. B. By analyzing scientific data.
C. By listing historical examples. D. By making a sharp comparison.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Wild Animals’ Hidden Abilities.
B. The History of Earthquake Prediction.
C. Living Sensors of Environmental Signals.
D. How Satellites Monitor Animal Migration and Diseases.

Blues (布鲁斯音乐) has been rated as the most popular music, in a study carried out by the University of York — a research project that aimed to address a common frustration in daily communication: the stress and impatience people often feel when waiting on the phone.
Researchers watched 2,540 people in a fake phone line so they could see how different sounds make callers feel. Each listener was exposed to one of ten audio experiences, with blues coming out on top ahead of heavy metal, country and pop. Music psychologist Dr Mimi O’Neill said the findings showed that different audio experiences could even influence how long people felt they had been on the phone. “The blues is featured by gentle feelings so you sink into it and in the enjoyment of the experience,” she said. “Metal is fast and can make you more stressed.” The team checked heart rate, mood and alertness to see what calms or worries people.
Dr O’Neill said the quality of the music was also key. “We’re really familiar with that broken, compressed (压缩的) music sound when we’re on hold, and if you have something that’s a bit better than that, it’s going to improve the experience.” She also said that instead of playing songs, they tried short quiz questions and general knowledge, and people liked that best. “But there is a small problem: If you do not wait long enough and you miss the answer, it can make you feel more upset,” she added.
32. Why did the University of York do the music research
A. To advertise blues in phone services. B. To compare music’s psychological effects.
C. To solve people’s annoyance while on hold. D. To prove high-quality music is more popular.
33. What makes blues stand out as hold music
A. Fast pace keeping callers alert. B. Soft feature helping callers enjoy waiting.
C. Popularity in real phone services worldwide. D. Ability to make callers forget why they call.
34. What might upset callers about the quiz
A. Missing the answer． B. Too much noise. C. Slow music． D. Long questions.
35. What is the text mainly about
A. How to write blues songs. B. The history of hold music.
C. Why people hate phone queues. D. A study on the sound for waiting on the phone.

The school sports meeting was in full swing. The most anticipated event, the 4x100-meter relay race, was about to start. Tim, a passionate and athletic student, was part of his class’s relay team. Along with his teammates—Mark, Jack and Alex, he had trained intensively for weeks, nurturing high hopes of winning the gold medal.
The atmosphere was electric as the runners took their positions. The starting gun fired, and Mark took off like a bolt of lightning, his powerful strides eating up the track. He smoothly handed the baton(接力棒)to Jack. Jack sprinted(冲刺)ahead with all his might, skillfully maintaining their lead. Then, it was Tim’s turn. As Jack approached at top speed, Tim reached out eagerly for the baton. But in his over-enthusiasm, he miscalculated the distance, and to his horror, the baton dropped to the ground. Time seemed to stand still as Tim stared at the baton, his heart pounding.
He quickly snatched it up and dashed forward, but the precious seconds lost had put them behind the other teams. Alex did his absolute best in the final leg, pushing himself to the limit, but they ultimately crossed the finish line in fourth place, narrowly missing out on the medals.
The disappointment on the team’s faces was obvious. Tim felt as if a heavy weight had settled on his shoulders. He couldn’t bring himself to look at his teammates, consumed by guilt. He replayed the moment of the dropped baton over and over in his mind, each time wishing he could turn back the clock. Mark, usually the most talkative, was silent, his eyes downcast(低垂的). Jack shook his head in frustration, muttering something under his breath. Alex just looked at the ground, his shoulders low. Without a word, they started walking back to the changing room, leaving Tim alone on the track, filled with self-blame.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Tim knew his mistake had cost the team dearly
