第一节
One possible version:
Dear Chris,
How are you doing Our school held a campus music festival themed “Enjoy Music, Enjoy Youth” last
Saturday. I was honored to work as a volunteer during the event.
My main responsibility was to guide the audience to their seats and help maintain order. Additionally, I
handed out programmes and offered water to the performers who were making preparations for their shows.
Though busy and a bit tired, I felt extremely delighted. What’s more, I was deeply impressed by the wonderful
songs and dances given by my classmates.
This experience not only helped me become more responsible but also improved my ability to cooperate with
others. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
One possible version:
Without a second thought, I applied for the teaching position. I felt a little nervous but also confident,
because my grandma’s words encouraged me to show my real ability. During the interview, I told the principal
about my love for English and my dream of becoming a teacher. I also shared the lesson my grandma had taught
me — to always do my best in whatever I did. The principal listened carefully and asked me several questions. A
few days later, I received wonderful news: I had been offered the job. I was so excited that I could hardly believe it.
My dream had finally come true.
My grandma’s words guided me in my teaching job from then on. I worked hard and put my whole heart
into every class. I carefully prepared my lessons and patiently helped students when they had difficulties. I also
joined different school activities and tried to do everything well. Gradually, my students began to enjoy my classes,
and my work was highly praised by the school. Although my grandma is no longer with me, I still remember her
advice. Her simple words changed my attitude toward work and led me to the career I truly love.

M: Turn right at the gift shop up ahead. Then go up the stairs there. Gate 25 is right next to the coffee shop.

W: Mike, can you help me clean the house tomorrow evening
M: Sorry, I promised to go to my uncle’s. He has been ill.
W: Then how about this weekend
M: Okay. I’ll be free after the meeting on Saturday.
Text 3
W: The weatherman said it would be 15 degrees Celsius in Dallas this weekend. It’ll be 5 degrees higher than in
Chicago.
M: It’s not surprising at all. Chicago is over 1,000 kilometers to the north of Dallas. And the weather in
Minneapolis will be 8 degrees Celsius.
Text 4
W: Skating is more difficult than I expected. After two weeks of practice, I still fall down a lot.
M: It takes time to get the hang of it. I fell a lot too when I started to learn it. Make sure to wear something, like a
helmet and knee pads, to protect yourself.

W: Sally had an operation on her leg in the hospital last week.
M: Oh, that’s bad. When will she be back to work

M: Excuse me, ma’am. May I see your driver’s license
W: OK. But why I parked the car in the right place.
M: This road has a 70 km/h speed limit. But you were traveling at a speed of 75 km/h.
W: What I thought my speed was 65 km/h. And I didn’t see any speed limit signs.
M: Our speed camera is very dependable. And you have to pay $ 50 in fines. If you have any question, you can
come to the traffic police station to check the record. But you’ll have to pay an extra $ 30 then.
W: I understand. I will pay the fine now.
Text 7
M: Are you going to the shop I’d like some beef tonight.
W: You already had chicken yesterday. Haven’t you forgotten what Dr. Bridwell said You should only eat meat
once a week. Besides, we’ve spent too much this week.
M: I’ve had enough. A salad just doesn’t make me feel full, and I can’t sleep well afterward.
W: I know, but you have to be on a diet for at least a month. Many people like you have lost about 50 pounds.
M: Alright. But can you just make a cake
W: Sorry, but no. Our little son can’t have sweet food. I’ll prepare something special for you tonight.
Text 8
W: I’ll be at the office to work from 5:00 a.m. until late evening tomorrow. Here’s a list of things you need to deal
with.
M: Wow, it’s pretty long. Are you sure I can manage all of it
W: Well, you have to. Firstly, on the way to school, stop by the sandwich shop and get what the kids want for lunch.
Then go to the supermarket on your way back. I’ve attached the grocery list.
M: Got it. Anything else
W: After picking up the kids from school, you need to make sure they do their homework right away. Help Kate
with her math and history, and Martin with his chemistry.
M: What about Dave’s football practice
W: It starts at 6:00 p.m. You need to arrive at the gym 20 minutes early. Don’t be late.
M: That sounds like a busy day.
Text 9
W: Hi, Sam. How is your son getting on with his new school
M: To be honest, we’re struggling. Ever since his school introduced the new online learning platform, Leo has been
glued to his laptop. He even has to finish his homework on it after dinner. I’m worried this will put pressure on Leo’
s life.
W: That’s a really common concern now. Many parents feel the line between school and home has become unclear
because of digital learning. But some schools are starting to set up Screen-free Days to prevent students from
overusing electronic tools.
M: How I wish Leo’s school took this action, too! You know, after work, Lucy is busy looking after her mother,
and I have to prepare dinner at home. We don’t have much time to keep an eye on Leo.
W: Understood. My daughter’s school starts a “no screen-time homework” practice every Wednesday. It has made
an obvious difference to my family.

Save Sea turtles!
In 1980, scientists put the total number of global sea turtles at around 6 million. Over the following decades,
researchers began to notice changes in the numbers recorded at many nesting (巢穴 ) areas. Nesting surveys in
Florida showed that number has remained largely unchanged, with 110,122 loggerhead turtle nests recorded in
2024. However, at several other major nesting sites, annual counts have fallen into just tens of thousands. At some
smaller beaches, only 2,000 to 3,000 turtles are recorded in a whole nesting season.
Why Are They Endangered
In many coastal waters, plastic bags, bottles, and other waste can often be seen floating (漂浮) in the sea. Sea
turtles sometimes mistake these objects for food. After eating them, the turtles may become weak or unable to
survive. Changes have also appeared on the beaches where turtles lay their eggs. Female turtles usually choose
quiet and dark places along the coast. However, many of these beaches now have hotels, bright lights, and busy
tourist activities. When baby turtles finally leave their nests, the lights from buildings may lead them away from the
ocean.
What Is Being Done
In recent years, people have begun paying closer attention to sea turtles. During nesting seasons, some beaches
are protected so that turtle eggs remain unaffected. Researchers also study the movements of sea turtles in order to
better understand their long migrations and protect their habitats.
Sea turtles have lived in the oceans for millions of years. It is high time that we took action to protect them and
keep our oceans safe and clean.
21. What do the figures in paragraph 1 show
A. The comeback of sea turtles.
B. The hard work of many scientists.
C. The long history of turtle protection.
D. The tough situation of global sea turtles.
22. Which of the following is mentioned as a threat to sea turtles
A. Food shortage. B. Strong waves. C. Beach darkness. D. Ocean pollution.
23. What is the main purpose of the text
A. To promote sea turtle conservation.
B. To explain the dangers of sea turtles.
C. To introduce a turtle protection project.
D. To describe the living habits of sea turtles.

Maya had always been the type who planned everything. She kept color-coded calendars and believed that
hard work could control any outcome. This approach served her well through high school — her grades were
excellent, and her future seemed clearly mapped out.
Then came the ice storm. It hit on a Sunday evening in February, when Maya was going over her study
schedule. The wind roared outside, and within an hour, tree branches crashed down across the neighborhood. The
lights went out, enveloping the house in sudden darkness. Maya fell silent, then stormed out of the room. She had
been ready to spend the evening going through math problems, and the unexpected cutoff had broken her carefully
arranged plan.
Her mother lit candles while her father searched for the radio. Cut off from Wi-Fi and mobile service, the
family sat together in the living room. Maya’s younger brother suggested they tell stories, something they had not
done together in years. Though unwilling at first, Maya listened as her parents shared memories from their own
childhoods — moments she had never known before. When it was Maya’s turn, she talked about a summer camp
she had joined years ago. She described the girl who taught her to take a boat, the night they lay watching shooting
stars, and the lightness of being free from busy schedules. As she spoke, she realized how seldom she let herself
hold onto moments that could never be planned.
The power stayed off for three days. Maya did not open a single textbook. Instead, she played board games
with her brother and discovered that her father knew every word to songs from the 1980s. She also spent long hours
by the window, watching ice turn the familiar streets into something strangely beautiful.
When the electricity finally returned, Maya did not hurry back to her old habit. Something inside her had
changed. She had come to see that life’s unexpected breaks were not always losses. Sometimes they were chances
to notice what she had been too busy to see.
24. What can we know about Maya from paragraph 1
A. She was unwilling to try new things.
B. She preferred to live a well-organized life.
C. She was easy to get satisfied with small gains.
D. She cared little about her school performance.
25. How did Maya feel about the power cut at first
A. Annoyed. B. Confused. C. Relieved. D. Frightened.
26. What happened during the three days without power
A. Maya stuck to her study plan as usual.
B. Maya cleared the ice-covered streets outside.
C. The family spent some quality time together.
D. The family made up many interesting stories about kids.
27. What quality has Maya most probably developed through this experience
A. Responsibility. B. Independence. C. Determination. D. Adaptability.
C
Cancelled plans — especially a meeting at work — often feel like an unexpected gift. Even if it is only an
hour, receiving a message that a meeting has been cancelled can bring a strong sense of freedom. But why does this
happen Researchers believe that unexpectedly getting time back can change our psychological perception (心理感
知) of time, which then influences how we choose to spend it.
Gabriela Tonietto, a researcher at Rutgers University, explored this question in a study published in the
Journal of the Association for Consumer Research. Tonietto studies time management and how people respond to
busy schedules. Her earlier research examined issues such as over-scheduling and the feeling that people never
seem to have enough time. In the new study, Tonietto and her co-workers focused on what happens when people
suddenly gain time, which they call “windfall time”. The research team carried out seven surveys involving more
than 2,300 participants from universities and online platforms.
The first four surveys asked participants to compare unexpected free time, such as a cancelled meeting, with
free time that had already been planned. The results showed that a gained hour often feels longer than a normal free
hour. According to the researchers, this happens because people compare the gained time with the expectation of
having no free time at all. This comparison makes the extra time feel more noticeable and valuable.
The researchers also examined how people use this windfall time. In the remaining surveys, participants
reported their intended or actual behavior when they suddenly had more time available. Many people preferred to
do things that demanded more time than usual. For example, someone with an unexpected free hour might start a
longer task or walk to a coffee shop instead of quickly getting a drink nearby.
Tonietto suggests that understanding how people view gained time may help organizations design more
flexible (灵活的 ) schedules. However, when free time appears suddenly, people are often more likely to relax
rather than fix attention on work.
28. How does the author introduce the topic of the text
A. By quoting a famous psychologist. B. By describing a common phenomenon.
C. By stressing the importance of freedom. D. By presenting a tough scientific question.
29. What makes an unexpected free hour feel longer
A. The low expectation of daily work tasks.
B. The poor psychological perception of time.
C. The good mood brought by unexpected gifts.
D. The difference between expectation and reality.
30. What will people do with the “windfall” time according to the new study
A. Manage household affairs. B. Make plans for future schedules.
C. Finish small tasks at hand quickly. D. Choose activities that take longer.
31. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Flexible schedules are hard to carry out.
B. People may waste unexpected free time.
C. Sudden free time may lower work focus.
D. Companies object to changing work plans.
D
A well-designed theater requires far more than simply putting in a stage and seating inside a huge room. The
best theaters are carefully built using a mix of materials that address spatial considerations while maximizing the
overall sound. But as a study published today in The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America suggests, there is
another factor that often affects how much you enjoy a show.
“Our feeling about a room’s sound comes from many sides,” said Stefan Weinzierl of Technical University of
Berlin. The key is how we feel about a theater, and not necessarily its measurable sound qualities. In addition to
reverberation (回声) and timbre (音色), the theater’s appearance also influences how we understand the sound we
hear. “A hall can appear warm, or it can appear bright or metallic in sound,” Weinzierl continued.
To illustrate this phenomenon, Weinzierl’s team asked volunteers to experience concerts in various theaters —
but with a catch. Given the challenge of moving participants around many locations, the team broadcast the
performances to the volunteers on virtual reality (VR) headsets. Each person then watched four shows in 12
different theaters featuring various combinations of color and brightness. To increase the realism, the VR headsets
changed the sound by itself when people moved their heads.
Following each concert, volunteers rated them based on enjoyment, timbre, reverberance and strength. The
results were clear. There was a clear correlation between a music hall’s visuals and the perceived timbre of songs.
Brighter or cooler colors like blue and green made the sound feel “colder.” Darker theaters also often increased
how much a participant liked the music they heard. At the same time, there was no change in perceived volume (音
量) depending on coloration — a finding supported by past studies.
The study’s authors said that while theater designers should still focus on making the sound great, these visual
signs warrant important considerations.
“All the money that is spent for making a concert hall sound well — I think it should not be overlooked that
the visual appearance makes its contribution to the sound of the hall,” added Weinzierl.
32. What affects people’s feeling about a theater’s sound besides sound qualities
A. The size of the stage. B. The look of the theater.
C. The number of viewers. D. The time of the concert.
33. What can be inferred about the VR headsets used in the experiment
A. They made the experiment more practical to conduct.
B. They were used to replace traditional seats in real halls.
C. They offered a more realistic experience than real theaters.
D. They helped researchers control the volunteers’ movements.
34. What does the underlined word “warrant” in paragraph 5 probably mean
A. Explain. B. Require. C. Observe. D. Benefit.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. How to Build an Excellent Theater
B. How to Improve Concert Sound Quality
C. Visuals Affect People’s Listening Experience
D. Virtual Reality Helps Test Stage Show Effects

In today’s digital age, it’s become increasingly challenging to pull ourselves away from our smartphones.
Whether it’s the endless scrolling (滚动屏幕) on social media, responding to messages, checking emails, watching
videos or shopping, our phones have become a constant presence in our lives. 36 Doing so allows us to
reconnect with the world around us.
Determine the Boundaries You Want to Set
When are the times you can separate yourself from your phone Give yourself permission to leave your phone
in another room, or in a drawer or on a shelf when at work. 37 Set your phone on Do Not Disturb for at
least an hour before you plan to go to bed. Don’t plan to look at it again until it’s time for you to start the following
day.
Encourage Face-to-Face Interactions
38 Make an effort to have face-to-face interactions with friends, family, or co-workers whenever
possible. This will not only reduce your phone usage but also strengthen your relationships and provide a sense of
achievement.
Try an Occasional Digital Detox (排毒)
Every once in a while, consider going on a digital detox, which means taking a break from all screens, not just
your phone. Stay off screens for a day, a weekend, or even a week, and use this time to connect with the real
world. 39
Clean Up Your Digital Environment
Regularly clean up your phone to create a clearer digital space. Start by removing apps you seldom use, since
they only take up space and easily distract (使分心)you. Then organize your home screen so that only the apps you
really need remain. 40 A clean screen reduces distractions and helps you stay focused, making it easier to
spend your time on what truly matters.
A. Plan phone-free meals.
B. Keep it simple and tidy.
C. Real human connections are valuable.
D. You might be surprised at how refreshing and liberating it can be.
E. We often fail to realize how deeply phones control our normal lives.

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’s company promoted him and relocated us to New York City. Our first order of business was to
find a safe, affordable place to live. I refused to live in a crowded part of the city, so we compromised (妥协) and
agreed to move to Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, which was a quiet residential neighborhood in the southwest corner of
New York.
I loved our sixth-floor apartment. It was quiet and close to the subway, making life in the city convenient.
Soon after settling in, I found a job as an administrative assistant at a famous advertising agency. I had studied
English education and dreamed of being a teacher, but I took the job for its good pay.
The work was boring and tiring. I typed letters, answered phones, organized meetings and arranged travel
every day. I just watched the clock, waiting for breaks and the end of work. Many documents on my desk had clear
grammar and spelling mistakes, but I never corrected them. I thought it was not my duty and I only needed to do
what I was paid to do. I felt my job was tiny and meaningless.
One day, I complained (抱怨) about my job to my grandma. She was a wise and brave woman who had joined
a women’s rights march and believed in fighting for what was right. She listened quietly, then said gently, “Honey,
don’t just do enough to get by. Always do your best. Whatever you do, put your whole heart into it.”
She told me to correct the mistakes if I noticed them and to show my real ability. Her words hit me deeply. I
