A 16-year-old girl from Changsha, Hunan province, successfully reached the top of Qomolangma, known as
Mount Everest in the West, on Monday morning, becoming the youngest Chinese female to conquer (征服) the
world’s highest top from the southern slope (坡).
Xu Zhuoyuan is a first-year high school student from Hunan province. On April 15, she left Changsha for
Nepal. On April 21, she began her long walk from Lukla. On April 28, she arrived at the base camp and started her
altitude adaptation training at once. At 10 pm Beijing time on May 14, Xu started walking from Camp 4 at an
altitude of 7,950 meters on the southern slope of Qomolangma. After a punishing 10-hour climb, she successfully
reached the summit.
Xu Zhuoyuan’s father, Xu Jianglei, was the first person from Hunan province to reach the top of Qomolangma.
Xu Zhuoyuan has been exploring remote areas with him since she was very young. Despite her young age, Xu
Zhuoyuan has already climbed five mountains over 5,000 meters in China. When she was 12 years old, she made a
statement on Hunan TV saying, “I will climb Qomolangma.”
Four years later, she achieved her promise. Although Xu Zhuoyuan has rich climbing experience, she has been
experiencing high-intensity professional training non-stop to conquer Qomolangma. Last year, she climbed Mount
Muztagata, which stands 7,546 meters. “Human beings are small in the face of nature. We should respect nature
and get closer to Qomolangma,” said Xu Zhuoyuan.
She brought the gloves her father used when he reached the top with her as a form of inheritance and to bear
witness to her own dream coming true. After finishing her university studies, she hopes to continue climbing and
achieve the “7+2” (7 tops plus the North and South Poles).
4 When did Xu Zhuoyuan arrive at the base camp
A. On April 15. B. On April 21. C. On April 28. D. On May 14.
5. Which word can best describe Xu Zhuoyuan
A. Honest. B. Clever. C. Creative. D. Determined.
6. Why was Xu Jianglei mentioned in paragraph 3
A. To describe his achievements. B. To show his impact on his daughter.
C. To recognize his support for the girl. D. To stress girls should be taken good care of.
7. What’s the best title for the text
A. A Great Father Shocks the Whole World
B. Qomolangma Draws More and More People
C. 16-year-old Girl Tops World’s Highest Mountain
D. Father and Daughter Conquer the Highest Mountain

Everyone has heard that it’s vital to get seven to nine hours of sleep a night. Get anything less, and you are
more likely to suffer from poor health in the short and long term. But in recent years, scientists have discovered a
rare group of people who consistently get little shut-eye and are no worse for wear.
Natural short sleepers, as they are called, are genetically wired to need only four to six hours of sleep a night.
These exceptions suggest that quality, not quantity, is what matters. If scientists could figure out what these people
do differently, it might, they hope, provide insight into sleep’s very nature.
Ying-Hui Fu, a human geneticist and neuroscientist at UC San Francisco, recalls there is one family whose
members woke up early but didn’t go to bed early, and felt refreshed after only about six hours of sleep. They were
the first people identified with familial natural short sleep, a condition that runs in families like other genetic
features. Fu and her colleague Pta ek thought the short sleep originated from a mutation (变异) in a gene called
DEC2. The researchers went on to genetically engineer the DEC2 mutation into mice, showing that the animals
need less sleep than their littermates.
Over time, the researchers have identified seven genes associated with natural short sleep. Like mice, people
who are naturally short sleepers seem to be immune (免疫的) to the ill effects of short sleep. If anything, they do
extraordinarily well. Research suggests that such people are ambitious, energetic and optimistic, with remarkable
recoverability against stress and higher thresholds (阈值) for pain.
But though sleep has a strong genetic component, it can also be shaped by the environment. Knowing that
better sleep is possible, and understanding the basis, could point the way to interventions to improve sleep, enabling
more people to live longer, healthier lives.
8. What does the underlined part “no worse for wear” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Unharmed. B. Uncomfortable.
C. Abnormal. D. Exhausted.
9. What can we know about the mentioned family in paragraph 3
A. They are early to bed and early to rise.
B. Their sleep quality depends on the quantity.
C. They are genetically built to require less sleep.
D. DEC2 is a decisive factor in their health condition.
10. What is the ultimate goal of this research
A. To develop tools for editing sleep genes.
B. To improve sleep quality for better health.
C. To identify specific sleep-related genes.
D. To create universal sleep reduction programs.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Less Shut-Eye, Better Health
B. Sleep Quality and Gene Mutation
C. The ones Who Need Less Sleep
D. The Hidden Costs of Short Sleep
D
“I’m dying of boredom!”complained Yelena, who performed in Chekhov’s 1897 play UncleVanya. “I don’t
know what to do!” Of course, if Yelena were around today, she’d pull out her smartphone to find something
amusing, like Tik Tok. It’s easy to kill the time. However, is boredom entirely good for nothing What if it is a
meaningful experience—one that leads us to states of deeper thoughtfulness or creativity
That’s the conclusion of two fascinating recent studies. In one, researchers asked a group of subjects to do
something boring, like copying out numbers from a phone book, and then take tests of creative thinking, such as
designing uses for a pair of cups. As a result, bored subjects came up with more ideas than a non-bored control
group, and their ideas were often more creative. In the second study, subjects who took an “associative thought”
word test came up with more answers when they’d been required to watch a dull screensaver (屏保).
Boredom might bring creativity because a restless mind hungers for stimulation. “Boredom becomes a seeking
state. What you’re doing now is not satisfying. So you’re seeking and get engaged.” says Sandi Mann, a
psychologist at the University of Central Lancashire. Kierkegaard, a philosopher, described jokingly, “The gods
were bored; therefore they created human beings.” However, what worries Mann is that these days we don’t enjoy
these slow moments. Instead, we resist them. “We try to beat every moment of boredom in our lives with mobile
devices,” says Mann, who claims she often gets some of her best thinking done when she’s on the bus. “The
smartphone might relieve us temporarily, but it shuts down the deeper thinking that can come from staring down
the boredom. Noodling on your phone is like eating junk food.” she says.
So here’s an idea: instead of always fleeing boredom, lean into it. Sometimes, shutting down your Internet
connection for a while will enforce a higher level of productivity.
12. Why did Yelena make a complaint
A. She was dying soon. B. She forgot her smartphone.
C. She hated her role in the play. D. She was feeling too bored.
13. According to the study, who is more likely to be creative
A. Someone waiting at a bus stop. B. Someone lost in phone games.
C. Someone busy with the work. D. Someone reading a novel.
14. Why does psychologist Mann feel worried
A. Because people get used to slow moments.
B. Because people attempt to get rid of boredom.
C. Because people become addicted to junk food.
D. Because people are dependent on mobile devices.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Every State Counts B. Watch Out for Boredom
C. Gateway to Creativity D. All Creativity Comes from Boredom
二节(共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分)
阅读下面短文，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。
This scientifically proven trick is a total game-changer for anyone who cooks. We all know the familiar sting;
you start chopping an onion only to end up with tears streaming down your face. Why does this happen
____16____
When you cut an onion, you break its cells, releasing sulfur (硫磺) compounds that form a gas. This gas mixes
with the natural moisture in your eyes, creating a mild acid that causes irritation (刺激). ____17____ This is a
protective reaction, not an emotional cry.
The other major cause is tiny droplets. As a knife — especially a blunt (钝的) one — presses into the onion,
it squeezes the inner liquid. When the skin breaks, this liquid forms droplets that splash upward, directly into your
eyes.
____18____ A sharp knife slices cleanly, causing far less tissue pressure and droplet spray than a dull one.
Using a blunt tool makes the tear problem much worse.
Furthermore, these flying droplets pose an additional health risk. ____19____ If present, these germs can be
spread around your kitchen by the same droplets that make you cry, increasing infection risk. Therefore, a sharp
knife is a tool for both comfort and safety.
What is the best solution Simply sharpen your knives. The study tested common tips like washing onions in
cold water or cooling them in the fridge, and found they did not work. ____20____ But for a simpler,
science-backed method to minimize tears and mess, a sharp blade is your most effective choice.
A. Onions can sometimes carry bacteria.
B. Not everyone needs protection while slicing onions.
C. This finding highlights the importance of your knife.
D. In response, your eyes produce tears to wash the irritant away.
E. For complete protection, safety glasses create a reliable barrier.
F. Researchers now have uncovered both a chemical and a physical reason.
G. This uncomfortable situation kicks your eyes into full-on protection mode.

After my father passed away, I found his old journal in the attic. Its leather cover was worn, and many pages
had come loose. Instead of placing it back in the dusty box, I felt a sudden impulse to ____21____ it.
I visited a small bookbinding shop downtown. The elderly bookbinder, with gentle eyes, showed me how to
____22____ the fragile pages. “Every old book holds a soul,” he remarked softly. His words made me realize that
this was more than just paper; it was a piece of my father’s ____23____.
Weeks later, I collected the journal, admiring its new ____24____. The bookbinder had not only fixed the
pages but also ____25____ its beauty with careful work. Holding it, I felt a deep ____26____ connection to my
father.
This experience inspired a community ____27____. I started a small workshop where people could bring their
old books for repair. The project became a bridge connecting generations, as elders and youngsters worked together,
sharing ____28____. A girl named Susan, after helping repair her grandmother’s poetry book, told me, “I never
knew Grandma wrote such ____29____ poems. I would have ____30____ this part of her without our project.”
Our effort has now ____31____ into a regular community event. We’ve set up a small library for all the
restored books. This journey has taught me that restoration is about ____32____ bonds between past and present.
Even a single book can ____33____ people in unexpected ways. The most meaningful discoveries often come from
preserving what is almost ____34____, and conversations from a ____35____ act of caring are often the most
genuine.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入 1 个适当单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
In recent years, rural museums have become important across China. They help to protect local culture and
support village development. By 2023, Yunnan Province in southwest China ____36____ (build) over 400 such
museums. These museums don’t just show old objects; they ____37____ (true) involve local people in protecting
their cultural traditions.
These museums are special because they keep traditions in their real setting. For example, they might show an
old farming tool together with stories told by village elders, making the experience ____38____ (meaningful). This

The museums also hold classes ____39____ skilled elders teach young people traditional skills, making sure these
special traditions are saved for the future.
These museums also help the local economy. Many villages now combine museum visits with fun
____40____ (activity) like pottery making. This way of mixing culture with tourism has become very popular and
successful. ____41____ it also brings a real economic benefit to local families through homestays and sales of local
products.
Besides economic benefits, these museums help build community spirit. They make older people feel
____42____ (value) and give young people new chances by connecting traditional culture with modern life. In this
way, the museum becomes ____43____ unique place that brings people together. However, ____44____ (keep)
being successful, these museums need to balance keeping old traditions and trying new things. ____45____ this
balance, the museums might not be able to help their communities well in the long term.

I felt looked down upon, degraded, and rejected that day in seventh grade. At school and at home, I was
constantly blamed for things I never did, feeling low, embarrassed, and forever behind. Their opinions defined me
— I truly believed I was worthless.
A new start came in Mr. Lee’s ninth-grade science class with a group project on insect behavior — a topic I’
d secretly loved since childhood. I’d stayed up late reading books, drawing sketches (草图) of ant groups, and even
setting up a small observation box at home. As expected, when group formation began, I was left standing alone.
“She’ll just sit there doing nothing,” whispered Omar, a boy from the front row. My cheeks burned, and I slid my
notebook into my desk, fighting back tears. Just then, Mr. Lee walked over. He picked up my notebook — filled
with detailed sketches of ant groups I had been making for months. “I’ve been reviewing your observations,” he
said, his voice warm and firm. “Your notes on the ants’ communication methods are remarkably precise, and your
sketches show exceptional attention to detail. Seeing such a bright kid fills me with pleasure.”
The word “bright” deeply touched me. Fueled by this first-ever praise, I decided to work alone, spending
every lunch break on my observations while others worked in groups.
One afternoon, I entered the lab to find my observation box broken, ants running everywhere, and my precious
notebook — the very proof of my “brightness” — was torn apart. Omar called it an accident. I sank to the floor,
tears streaming down my face, my hard-won confidence broken completely. I felt as worthless as I had in seventh
grade, unaware of Mr. Lee’s approach until his gentle voice pulled me from the darkness.
注意：1．续写词数应为 150 左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
“Your brightness isn’t torn like the notebook,” Mr. Lee said softly.

Four years later, she achieved her promise. Although Xu Zhuoyuan has rich climbing experience, she has been
experiencing high-intensity professional training non-stop to conquer Qomolangma. Last year, she climbed Mount
Muztagata, which stands 7,546 meters. “Human beings are small in the face of nature. We should respect nature
and get closer to Qomolangma,” said Xu Zhuoyuan.
She brought the gloves her father used when he reached the top with her as a form of inheritance and to bear
witness to her own dream coming true. After finishing her university studies, she hopes to continue climbing and
achieve the “7+2” (7 tops plus the North and South Poles).

Everyone has heard that it’s vital to get seven to nine hours of sleep a night. Get anything less, and you are
more likely to suffer from poor health in the short and long term. But in recent years, scientists have discovered a
rare group of people who consistently get little shut-eye and are no worse for wear.
Natural short sleepers, as they are called, are genetically wired to need only four to six hours of sleep a night.
These exceptions suggest that quality, not quantity, is what matters. If scientists could figure out what these people
do differently, it might, they hope, provide insight into sleep’s very nature.
Ying-Hui Fu, a human geneticist and neuroscientist at UC San Francisco, recalls there is one family whose
members woke up early but didn’t go to bed early, and felt refreshed after only about six hours of sleep. They were
the first people identified with familial natural short sleep, a condition that runs in families like other genetic
features. Fu and her colleague Pta ek thought the short sleep originated from a mutation (变异) in a gene called
DEC2. The researchers went on to genetically engineer the DEC2 mutation into mice, showing that the animals
need less sleep than their littermates.
Over time, the researchers have identified seven genes associated with natural short sleep. Like mice, people
who are naturally short sleepers seem to be immune (免疫的) to the ill effects of short sleep. If anything, they do
extraordinarily well. Research suggests that such people are ambitious, energetic and optimistic, with remarkable
recoverability against stress and higher thresholds (阈值) for pain.
But though sleep has a strong genetic component, it can also be shaped by the environment. Knowing that
better sleep is possible, and understanding the basis, could point the way to interventions to improve sleep, enabling
more people to live longer, healthier lives.
8. What does the underlined part “no worse for wear” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Unharmed. B. Uncomfortable.
C. Abnormal. D. Exhausted.
9. What can we know about the mentioned family in paragraph 3
A. They are early to bed and early to rise.
B. Their sleep quality depends on the quantity.
C. They are genetically built to require less sleep.
D. DEC2 is a decisive factor in their health condition.
10. What is the ultimate goal of this research
A. To develop tools for editing sleep genes.
B. To improve sleep quality for better health.
C. To identify specific sleep-related genes.
D. To create universal sleep reduction programs.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Less Shut-Eye, Better Health
B. Sleep Quality and Gene Mutation
C. The ones Who Need Less Sleep
D. The Hidden Costs of Short Sleep

“I’m dying of boredom!”complained Yelena, who performed in Chekhov’s 1897 play UncleVanya. “I don’t
know what to do!” Of course, if Yelena were around today, she’d pull out her smartphone to find something
amusing, like Tik Tok. It’s easy to kill the time. However, is boredom entirely good for nothing What if it is a
meaningful experience—one that leads us to states of deeper thoughtfulness or creativity
That’s the conclusion of two fascinating recent studies. In one, researchers asked a group of subjects to do
something boring, like copying out numbers from a phone book, and then take tests of creative thinking, such as
designing uses for a pair of cups. As a result, bored subjects came up with more ideas than a non-bored control
group, and their ideas were often more creative. In the second study, subjects who took an “associative thought”
word test came up with more answers when they’d been required to watch a dull screensaver (屏保).
Boredom might bring creativity because a restless mind hungers for stimulation. “Boredom becomes a seeking
state. What you’re doing now is not satisfying. So you’re seeking and get engaged.” says Sandi Mann, a
psychologist at the University of Central Lancashire. Kierkegaard, a philosopher, described jokingly, “The gods
were bored; therefore they created human beings.” However, what worries Mann is that these days we don’t enjoy
these slow moments. Instead, we resist them. “We try to beat every moment of boredom in our lives with mobile
devices,” says Mann, who claims she often gets some of her best thinking done when she’s on the bus. “The
smartphone might relieve us temporarily, but it shuts down the deeper thinking that can come from staring down
the boredom. Noodling on your phone is like eating junk food.” she says.
So here’s an idea: instead of always fleeing boredom, lean into it. Sometimes, shutting down your Internet
connection for a while will enforce a higher level of productivity.
12. Why did Yelena make a complaint
A. She was dying soon. B. She forgot her smartphone.
C. She hated her role in the play. D. She was feeling too bored.
13. According to the study, who is more likely to be creative
A. Someone waiting at a bus stop. B. Someone lost in phone games.
C. Someone busy with the work. D. Someone reading a novel.
14. Why does psychologist Mann feel worried
A. Because people get used to slow moments.
B. Because people attempt to get rid of boredom.
C. Because people become addicted to junk food.
D. Because people are dependent on mobile devices.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Every State Counts B. Watch Out for Boredom
C. Gateway to Creativity D. All Creativity Comes from Boredom

This scientifically proven trick is a total game-changer for anyone who cooks. We all know the familiar sting;
you start chopping an onion only to end up with tears streaming down your face. Why does this happen
____16____
When you cut an onion, you break its cells, releasing sulfur (硫磺) compounds that form a gas. This gas mixes
with the natural moisture in your eyes, creating a mild acid that causes irritation (刺激). ____17____ This is a
protective reaction, not an emotional cry.
The other major cause is tiny droplets. As a knife — especially a blunt (钝的) one — presses into the onion,
it squeezes the inner liquid. When the skin breaks, this liquid forms droplets that splash upward, directly into your
eyes.
____18____ A sharp knife slices cleanly, causing far less tissue pressure and droplet spray than a dull one.
Using a blunt tool makes the tear problem much worse.
Furthermore, these flying droplets pose an additional health risk. ____19____ If present, these germs can be
spread around your kitchen by the same droplets that make you cry, increasing infection risk. Therefore, a sharp
knife is a tool for both comfort and safety.
What is the best solution Simply sharpen your knives. The study tested common tips like washing onions in
cold water or cooling them in the fridge, and found they did not work. ____20____ But for a simpler,
science-backed method to minimize tears and mess, a sharp blade is your most effective choice.
A. Onions can sometimes carry bacteria.
B. Not everyone needs protection while slicing onions.
C. This finding highlights the importance of your knife.
D. In response, your eyes produce tears to wash the irritant away.
E. For complete protection, safety glasses create a reliable barrier.
F. Researchers now have uncovered both a chemical and a physical reason.
G. This uncomfortable situation kicks your eyes into full-on protection mode.

Sleep and Health
Our school recently conducted a survey on students’ sleep habits. The results show that only 15 percent of the
students get 8—10 hours of sleep per night, while 40% sleep 6—7 hours, and a worrying 45% sleep less than 6
hours.
Enough sleep is crucial for our study and health. Lack of sleep may lead to poor concentration, memory
problems, and even weaken our immune system.
To improve the situation, we suggest planning time wisely, reducing screen time before bed, and creating a
regular sleep schedule. Let’s take sleep seriously and build a healthier lifestyle together!

47. 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。
I felt looked down upon, degraded, and rejected that day in seventh grade. At school and at home, I was
constantly blamed for things I never did, feeling low, embarrassed, and forever behind. Their opinions defined me
— I truly believed I was worthless.
A new start came in Mr. Lee’s ninth-grade science class with a group project on insect behavior — a topic I’
d secretly loved since childhood. I’d stayed up late reading books, drawing sketches (草图) of ant groups, and even
setting up a small observation box at home. As expected, when group formation began, I was left standing alone.
“She’ll just sit there doing nothing,” whispered Omar, a boy from the front row. My cheeks burned, and I slid my
notebook into my desk, fighting back tears. Just then, Mr. Lee walked over. He picked up my notebook — filled
with detailed sketches of ant groups I had been making for months. “I’ve been reviewing your observations,” he
said, his voice warm and firm. “Your notes on the ants’ communication methods are remarkably precise, and your
sketches show exceptional attention to detail. Seeing such a bright kid fills me with pleasure.”
The word “bright” deeply touched me. Fueled by this first-ever praise, I decided to work alone, spending
every lunch break on my observations while others worked in groups.
One afternoon, I entered the lab to find my observation box broken, ants running everywhere, and my precious
notebook — the very proof of my “brightness” — was torn apart. Omar called it an accident. I sank to the floor,
tears streaming down my face, my hard-won confidence broken completely. I felt as worthless as I had in seventh
grade, unaware of Mr. Lee’s approach until his gentle voice pulled me from the darkness.
注意：1．续写词数应为 150 左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
“Your brightness isn’t torn like the notebook,” Mr. Lee said softly.

【答案】例文
“Your brightness isn’t torn like the notebook,” Mr. Lee said softly. I lifted my tear-covered face, staring at him
in disbelief. He smoothed a torn sketch gently and spoke firmly, “Things can break, but your curiosity and eye for
detail are part of you. Others’ unfair opinions never define who you truly are.” His support shifted my shaken
self-belief at once. With his help, I glued the sketches, added new notes, and rebuilt the box with extra care. I taped
my work to the lab wall, pride replacing despair, and resolved to turn this setback into strength, ready to show my
true worth in the upcoming presentation.
On presentation day, I proved my true worth through the restored project. I stood tall, holding the durable box
and repaired notebook, my voice clear. I explained ants’ behaviors and shared my story: I once let rejection make
me feel worthless, but Mr. Lee’s support taught me that how I see myself matters most. “This failure was a tough
test, but my hard work pulled me through,” I declared. The class burst into applause; Omar whispered a soft sorry. I
smiled, grasping the truth: rejection never defines you, self-belief lights your way, and every failure is just a
stepping stone to real success.
