One possible version:
Dear Alice,
How is everything going I’m writing to share an unforgettable experience with you.
Last Friday, I attended our school’s painting exhibition themed “The Most Beautiful Campus”. Many students
showed their works, including lively drawings of campus life, smiling students, beautiful scenery and creative
scenes about youth. The paintings were colourful and full of energy.
I was deeply impressed by the students’ creativity and love for our school. The exhibition not only enriched
our school life but also encouraged us to discover beauty around us. It was really a meaningful activity.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours,
Li Hua

One possible version:
We ran up to her and asked what was wrong. “I twisted my ankle by accident I can’t walk now, but I have
called my parents,” she responded, her face pale. Looking at her frightened eyes, Joe’s words echoed in my mind:
“Just pass it on.” My husband immediately knelt down to examine her ankle. “It is a sprain,” he said with certainty.
Then he, using his first aid knowledge, stabilized her ankle with a bandage from our backpack. Meanwhile, I sat
beside her, reassuring her all the while. “Now we get you back to our cabin; it’s not far,” my husband suggested.
The girl nodded gratefully. Together, we supported her, making our way back towards the cabin.
As soon as we took her back to the cabin, her parents came. They rushed over, worried and tearful, and
thanked us repeatedly. The girl told them what had happened and how we helped her. Her father insisted on giving
us some money as a thank-you, but we shook our heads and said, “Just pass it on.” Those words felt natural, just as
Joe had said to us. The girl smiled and promised she would. Watching their warm hugs, I felt a warm current in my
heart. We truly understood Joe’s words — kindness is not a burden, but a light that can be passed from one person
to another, brightening everyone’s way.

(Text 2)
M: Well, we start our new school next week. How are you going to get there, Mary
W: It’s not far, so I don’t need to take a bus. I’ll cycle because walking there with some heavy books would be too
tiring.
(Text 3)
W: Look straight ahead and read out the letters and numbers on the lowest line. Can you see them clearly
M: Sure, I see 4, L, G, B, O, and 7.
W: Right. So there is nothing wrong with your eyes.
(Text 4)
M: What a big stomach I have! I ought to take some exercise to keep my weight down.
W: Maybe stopping drinking so much beer would be a lot of help to you.
(Text 5)
M: How was your holiday
W: It wasn’t bad.
M: I heard the weather was really stormy there, though.
W: Oh, it was terrible on some of the nearby islands. But we were lucky on the mainland—not a cloud in the sky.
(Text 6)
M: Have you noticed the empty land outside our office window It’s been empty since I started working here.
W: Yeah. There used to be several small shops. After the construction of several office buildings, the shops were
pulled down.
M: Then will it be a subway station
W: It’s hardly likely.
M: Well, I hope a mall can be built there so that we can get some food or coffee during our lunch break.
(Text 7)

W: So do I.
M: So where’ve you been, Sharon
W: Well…we started in London. You know, the Tower of London.
M: Oh yeah, we did that. I liked the Bloody Tower. Did you enjoy it
W: I don’t think we went there. But I’m sure my son wishes he’d been there. They should improve the brochure. I
didn’t see anything in it about that.
M: You mean you didn’t go to the Bloody Tower! What a pity! Well, what about Italy then
W: Well, we had a great time in Italy.
(Text 8)

M: It’s Mr. Winters. Are you coming to the first practice next week, then
W: If I can. Is it still on a Tuesday after school
M: It’s been changed to Monday now. I had a talk with Mr. Winters last week. He is busy from Tuesday to Friday.
W: Oh, I have a music lesson at 4:30 that day.
M: I also have an English examination from 5:00 to 5:50. But we don’t start till 6:30. You finish before that, don’t
you
W: Yeah. Do we still have to pay one pound for each practice
M: No, it’s one pound more this term.
W: That’s OK.
M: Mr. Winters told everyone to take water. We always get thirsty.
W: OK. I’ll see you there, then.
(Text 9)
M: So Lily, your kitchen garden looks excellent. What made you turn to social media to record your vegetable
growing
W: Initially, I used the online platform as a diary, something to look back on, giving me a sense of achievement and
keeping me motivated and moving forward.
M: I know you grow lots of fruit on your land. Which would you recommend to beginners as the best to grow
W: Strawberries would be a good choice. They produce a lot of fruit in their first season.
M: That’s cool. Well, do you have plans to try new or any particular crops next year
W: Next season I will be adding some pear trees to the fruit area. I will be adding more herbs. And after a couple of
years of failure, I will try growing carrots again.
M: What advice would you offer someone thinking of doing kitchen gardening
W: Have a plan of what you want your kitchen garden to look like. Don’t be too discouraged if things don’t go
according to plan. Learn from your mistakes and move on. There’s always next season.
(Text 10)
W: Good afternoon, everyone. I’m Michelle. Not too long ago, I took on the challenge of learning to play the guitar.
As an athlete, I thought mastering the guitar would be easy with enough discipline. But it wasn’t just about physical
discipline. It tested my patience, strategy, and a different kind of mental commitment. I tried to play complex
pieces before mastering the basics. It was a struggle, but I learned to respect the process. Soon my first public
performance arrived. I thought I would be very nervous, but strangely, I wasn’t. I played without missing a beat.
The applause and cheers were truly amazing. Every struggle, every wrong note was worth it in that moment. In
conclusion, I want to remind you that taking on any new skill requires more than just physical strength; it demands
respect for the process and the courage to keep pushing forward. Thank you.高二英语试题

Dear Editor,
After I attended your summer camp about health and lifestyle choices, I realised I hardly ever felt well, either
physically or mentally. I often felt sleepy and dizzy, and lacked passion. Most worrying, though, I got the flu easily
and experienced many toothaches, too.
At the end of the camp I heard, “Change the world by changing yourself.” This stimulated my motivation. A
dentist once examined me and told me that too much sugar in my meals had damaged my teeth and health. I made
up my mind to change two things in my life: to eat nothing with sugar and to exercise regularly.
After that I stopped buying all the sweets, biscuits, and sugary drinks that I used to have every day. Whenever
I went out with friends, I brought snacks from home, things that didn’t have any added sugar: fruit, nuts, dried meat,
etc.
My exercise was very simple: I went outside every day for at least 30 minutes and did something active.
Sometimes I played table tennis or badminton with my cousins. Other times I jumped on my skateboard and rode
around my neighbourhood, or just took a long walk.
The results have been fantastic. I feel more dynamic and stronger than ever, in both body and mind. I sleep
soundly at night now. I no longer suffer from a flu virus or toothaches either. Best of all, in my opinion, is how I
feel about myself. I feel like I’m in control of my own life. To make choices about myself is within my own power.
I CAN change myself. I just need to try.
Yours truly,
Wang Lu
Dear Editor,
As I took part in the summer camp about personal life choices, I started to analyse my choices, especially what
I did to relax and how it was affecting my whole life.
After starting high school, I felt stressed out and always relaxed by playing computer games. I got so absorbed
that I played the games day and night. Playing was fun, but I felt even more worn out afterwards! So after the camp,
I realised that it was very, very important to adjust my lifestyle. I decided to take control of my life and find other
ways to relax.
It was a big struggle not to join my friends in playing online games as I’m mad for them. However, I realised
that to succeed in quitting, I had to replace it with something else. So I thought about what to try. Rock climbing,
bowling, watching comedies, and playing basketball were the things I thought of doing instead.
Now my dad and I go rock climbing together monthly! It has enhanced the quality of my life, improving my
health and increasing my happiness. I get refreshed through climbing, spend more time with my dad, and get to
meet new friends.
After six months of trying out new ways of relaxing, I feel much more energetic. I feel that I can change
myself for the better. And if that’s true for me, then it might truly be possible to change the world for the better. As
Gandhi said, “Be the change you want to see in the world.”
Sincerely,
George Fielding

Past research suggested drinking alcohol (酒) in moderate (适中的) amounts could be good for the heart. But
a growing number of public health experts now advise people to limit alcohol intake as much as possible to
improve health.
Earlier in 2025, US Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy called for changing his agency’s existing health
warning on alcoholic drinks to include cancer risks. Alcohol breaks down in the body into a substance called
acetaldehyde. This chemical can damage cells and stop them from repairing themselves. The process can create
conditions for cancer to grow.
Estimates show thousands of US deaths could be prevented each year if people followed government dietary
guidelines on drinking alcohol. The guidelines advise men to limit themselves to two drinks or fewer per day and
women to one drink or fewer per day. An example of one drink would be equal to one 12-ounce can of beer, a
5-ounce glass of wine or one serving of liquor.
Medical experts say the idea that moderate drinking can cause health improvements, or benefits, came from
imperfect studies. The research compared groups of people based on how much they drank, with amounts usually
measured at only one point in time. Since some earlier studies did not follow rules about what groups were
measured, researchers say they did not effectively prove cause and effect. People who report drinking moderately
generally have higher levels of education, higher earnings and better resources for health care.
Another problem was that most studies did not include younger people. Almost half of people who die from
alcohol-related causes do so before the age of 50. The studied groups did not effectively represent all drinkers. This
likely created “an appearance” of a benefit for moderate drinkers that is not real.
Health guidelines related to alcohol intake have wide differences from country to country. But the overall
message today is that drinking less is better for health. Britain, France, Denmark, Holland and Australia recently
examined new evidence and lowered their guidelines for safe amounts of alcohol. Ireland plans to begin requiring
cancer warnings on alcohol containers starting in 2026.
28. What does Vivek Murthy think of the existing alcohol warnings in the US
A. They are baseless. B. They are reasonable.
C. They need further improvement. D. They need to be ended.
29. What does the underlined word “liquor” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. A substance that causes cancer.
B. Strong alcoholic drink.
C. A food containing alcohol.
D. A soft drink similar to fruit juice.
30. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A. How alcohol affects your health.
B. Limitations of original studies about moderate drinking.
C. Potential risks related to drinking alcohol.
D. Alcohol abuse among young people.
31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph
A. To warn people to give up bad lifestyle habits.
B. To encourage people to do more studies.
C. To provide readers with more knowledge.
D. To show most countries suggest drinking less for health.

With climate change increasing and an El Nino weather pattern in effect for the western hemisphere, heat
island effect (热岛效应) has become a real problem for cities under the summer sun. GAF created a product called
StreetBond Pavement Coating (路面涂层) that aims to turn that heat island effect around by reflecting heat back
into space.
The GAF Cool Community project is working to help ease urban heat island effects by painting hot city
surfaces such as pavement that absorbs heat and can cause burns on contact. GAF StreetBond pavement coatings
feature an innovative technology called Invisible Shade — named by TIME magazine as one of its Best Inventions
of 2022. It’s a product that can reduce temperatures of hot paved surfaces. And, of course, it comes in all shades
and colours so you can coat a playground to make it less dangerously hot as easily as you could paint your city
parking lots and streets to avoid the worst of a heat wave.
It’s possible to coat more than just the road surfaces. Rooftops also account for a large portion of heat island
effect through radiation absorption. By painting city streets, roofs and other large surface areas with reflective
coatings, it is possible to significantly reduce the heat island effect and keep citizens much more comfortable in the
summer sun. “The US has four million miles of roads and 61 billion square feet of roofing on commercial buildings
(roughly equivalent to one million football fields), trapping heat at increasingly dangerous levels as global
temperatures rise,” GAF reported.
And this isn’t just about comfort: heat worldwide is getting dangerous as temperatures push into the triple

Each year, the number of accidental drownings rises sharply in summer. We are dedicated to reducing
drownings and raising awareness about the preventable issue. 36
Use barriers and alarms
Four-sided fences, self-closing gates, safety alarms and pool covers are the best to protect unrestricted access
of children and even of adults into a body of water, whether it be a pool or a pond. 37 If a person goes
underwater with it, there’s a device that can be sounded off.
Supervise (监督) swimmers and water activities
The second layer is to appoint a supervisor or a water watcher whenever children are in, near, or around the
water, even when there’s a lifeguard in place. We advocate fully focused supervision. 38 not being
engaged in conversation, and not doing household chores while kids are in the water, because drowning is fast and
silent.
Learn how to swim
39 Choose brightly coloured swimsuits to be easily spotted. Everyone is supposed to learn to swim. It’
s about building water-smart skills: floating on your back, treading water, making it to the edge, and shouting for
help if you need to. Such basic competence can save lives.
Use life jackets
In addition, we urge the use of life jackets that are sized appropriately for use in, near or around bodies of
water and while boating. It keeps you above the surface and helps you float. Adults need to teach young children
about how life jackets work and why it’s important to wear one and what can happen if one isn’t worn.
40
We suggest learning to perform first aid and keeping rescue equipment in hand. Know how to recognize
someone who’s in trouble and then what to do in that case, call for help and reach or throw something that floats to
them.
A. Prepare for emergencies
B. Ensure greater accessibility
C. That means not being on a cell phone
D. If you lack rescue training, do not supervise others
E. Modern wearable technology further enhances safety
F. Here are five layers of protection to prevent drownings
G. Another key to preventing drownings is to learn how to swim — plain and simple

I felt a warmth spread through my chest.
That night, I realized hiding my art had been robbing (抢劫 ) myself of 52 . Now, I keep my
sketchbook on my desk, open to anyone who asks. Sharing our passions, I learned, is how we 53

stopped letting fear 55 my dreams.

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 husband and I were driving through the countryside in Pennsylvania. We were excited to get to our cabin
for a relaxing weekend. Halfway, our truck suddenly stopped working on a narrow country road. The sun was
going down, colouring the sky orange and pink.
“We’re stuck here,” I said sadly. “This will ruin our weekend.” My husband tried to start the engine many
times, but it still wouldn’t work. We felt very disappointed.
Just then, an old pickup truck stopped beside us. The driver was an old man with a rough face and strong
hands. He asked, “Do you need help ” We told him what happened.
“I’m Joe. I have a garage about a mile away. I can pull your truck there,” he said. He connected our truck to his
and drove slowly ahead. He talked with us about the local farms and his grandchildren. His kindness made us feel
much better.
When we got to Joe’s small garage, he examined our truck. “The fuel pump is broken,” he said. “I can’t repair
it tonight, but you can stay at my house. My wife is cooking meatloaf, and we have a spare room. I’ll drive you to
the cabin early tomorrow morning.” We felt unsure at first, but his warm smile made us feel relaxed. His wife
Martha welcomed us with a hug and put more plates on the table. The meatloaf tasted great, and their stories about
small-town life made us feel at home.
As we settled into the guest room, I thought about how our “disaster” had turned into something unexpected
— a chance to meet kind strangers who restored (恢复) our faith in humanity. The next day, Joe dropped us off,
refusing any payment. “Just pass it on,” he said, his eyes twinkling with sincerity. We thanked him repeatedly and
headed to the cabin, still talking about their kindness as we unpacked our hiking equipment.
That afternoon, as we hiked through the woods, the fresh air and beautiful scenery lifting our spirits, we heard
a faint cry for help. Following the sound, we found a teenage girl sitting on a rock, holding her ankle tightly.
注意:
1.续写词数应为 150个左右;

We ran up to her and asked what was wrong.
