For most of my freshman year, I lived a double life. At school, I was “Alex the Quiet” — the boy who sat at the back of the classroom, nodded along with whatever everyone said, and never voiced an opinion that might cause disagreement. My classmates liked me well enough, or at least they didn’t dislike me. But at home, in the pages of my notebook, I was someone else completely. I wrote stories filled with bold characters who said exactly what they meant, who stood up for their beliefs without hesitation.
The gap between these two selves grew wider every day. I told myself it was fine — being agreeable was easier and safer. I had made sure that fitting in was the same as being accepted. But when my English teacher, Ms. Chen, announced a creative writing contest, something stirred inside me. The theme was “The Voice Within.” For the first time, I wanted to share something real.
I spent two weeks on my entry — a story about a boy who wears a mask so long that he forgets his own face. It was the most honest thing I had ever written. When I handed it in, my hands trembled. What would Ms. Chen think Would she see through the fiction to the truth beneath
The day she returned our drafts, she asked me to stay after class. My heart sank, expecting criticism. Instead, she looked at me with a kind of understanding that made my throat tighten. “This boy in your story is you, isn’t he ” she said softly. I couldn’t speak. I just nodded. She slid the paper back across the desk. “The voice in this piece is powerful. I think it’s time you let the world hear it.”
That night, I read my story aloud to my parents for the first time. Their smiles, warm and genuine, felt like sunlight after a long winter. I didn’t win the contest, but something more important happened. The wall I had built between my two selves began to crack. I started speaking up in class, not to argue, but to share. Slowly, I learned that it felt a great deal better to be accepted for who I really was than to be liked for who I pretended to be.

In the heart of the Amazon rainforest, a unique project is underway. It’s not about saving a single animal species, but about preserving a disappearing human culture — the culture of the indigenous Sápara people.
The Sápara were once one of the most powerful nations in the Amazon. However, due to diseases brought by outside settlers and the destruction of the rainforest for resources, their population has dramatically declined. Today, only a few hundred Sápara remain. With them, their ancient language and rich cultural knowledge are also at the risk of being lost forever.
To fight this, the Sápara community, with the help of UNESCO, has started building the first-ever “Sápara Cultural School”. This is no ordinary school. Hidden deep in the jungle and accessible only by canoe, it has no walls or desks. The “classroom” is the rainforest itself. Here, the elders take the young Sápara children into the forest, teaching them to identify hundreds of different plants, not just by name, but by their medicinal uses, their spiritual significance, and the stories that have been passed down for generations.
“We are not just teaching them words”, explains one elder, Antonio. “We are teaching them how to read the forest. This plant is not just ‘a plant’; it is medicine for a fever. That river is not just ‘water’; it is the home of the spirit of our ancestor.” The curriculum includes learning the ancient Sápara language, hunting and fishing techniques that respect the balance of nature, and the traditional songs and dances that tell the story of their people.
The school is a race against time. As the modern world creeps closer, the young generation is attracted to the conveniences of city life. By making learning rooted in their environment, the Sápara hope to show their children that their heritage is not a relic of the past, but a living, valuable part of their future.
8. What is the main purpose of building the Sápara Cultural School
A. To attract more visitors to the Amazon rainforest.
B. To teach young Sápara modern survival skills.
C. To protect the Sápara language and traditions.
D. To study the medicinal use of rainforest plants.
9. In what way is the Sápara Cultural School “no ordinary school”
A. It has no teachers or formal lessons.
B. It focuses on protecting wildlife rather than culture.
C. It only opens during certain seasons of the year.
D. It uses the natural environment as a classroom.
10. What challenge does the Sápara school face
A. Lack of support from the local government.
B. The difficulty of building classrooms in the jungle.
C. The influence of modern life on the young generation.
D. Disagreements between elders and children over the curriculum.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. The Disappearing Sápara People in the Amazon.
B. A Unique Cultural School in the Amazon Rainforest.
C. UNESCO’s Help for the World.
D. How to Protect the Amazon Rainforest’s Plants.
D
For decades, environmental education has focused on raising awareness about ecological problems — melting glaciers, endangered species, and polluted oceans. While these issues remain critical, a new approach is gaining popularity: instead of just telling people about environmental crisis, organizations are now working to help people experience nature directly. The thinking behind this shift is simple: people protect what they love, and they love what they know.
This movement is taking shape in cities around the world. In the United Kingdom, the Wildlife Trust runs an annual campaign called “30 Days Wild”, which challenges participants to perform a “random act of wildness” every day throughout June. These acts can be simple — feeding birds, planting flowers on a balcony, or simply sitting in a park and observing the changing leaves. The goal is not to transform everyone into environmental scientists, but to help city residents notice the nature that exists alongside their daily lives.
But why does this focus on cities Currently, over half of the global population lives in urban areas, and in countries like Australia, the figure reaches nine out of ten. For these people, opportunities to experience untouched wilderness are limited. If environmentalism only speaks to those who hike mountains or camp in forests, it risks leaving the majority behind. Urban nature projects bridge this gap, bringing nature to where people already are.
So how can individuals in cities connect with nature The answer may be simpler than expected. You don’t need to travel to a national park. Start by noticing the tree outside your window, the birds that visit your neighborhood, or the weeds growing through cracks in the roadsides. Small daily bits of urban nature — what researchers call “micro- experiences” — can build the emotional connection that motivates environmental action. In a rapidly urbanizing world, finding nature in the city might be the key to saving nature everywhere.
12. What is the new approach to environmental education
A. Focusing more on environmental crisis like melting glaciers.
B. Encouraging people to directly experience nature in daily life.
C. Training everyone to become professional environmental scientists.
D. Moving all environmental education to national parks.
13. What does the "30 Days Wild" campaign ask participants to do
A. Stay in the wilderness for 30 days.
B. Donate money to wildlife protection organizations.
C. Perform simple nature- related acts every day for a month.
D. Attend environmental science classes for a month.
14. What does paragraph 3 imply about environmentalism
A. It needs to include urban populations to be effective.
B. It should only focus on wilderness areas.
C. It should require everyone to hike mountains.
D. It has already succeeded in protecting nature.
15. How does the author suggest city residents connect with nature
A. By moving to rural areas or national parks.
B. By taking long vacations to wilderness destinations.
C. By becoming environmental scientists first.
D. By noticing and appreciating nature in their everyday surroundings.
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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We all have big goals we want to achieve — getting fit, learning a new language, or reading more books. Yet many of us struggle to make lasting changes. We start with great enthusiasm, only to give up a few weeks later. ____16____ This approach, known as micro-habits, is changing the way people think about personal growth.
Micro-habits are tiny actions that take less than two minutes to complete. Instead of promising to exercise for an hour every day, you start by doing just one push-up. Instead of aiming to read a whole book, you begin with a single page. ____17____ They also require almost no motivation to start.
The science behind that approach is simple. When we try to make big changes, our brains often refuse because the effort seems hard to bear. ____18____ Once the behavior becomes automatic, we can gradually increase the difficulty. This is why micro-habits work: they avoid our brain’s natural refusal to change.
The benefits of micro-habits go beyond just getting things done. When you complete a tiny habit successfully, you experience a small sense of achievement. ____19____ It encourages you to keep going, creating a snowball effect that leads to bigger changes over time.
So how can you start Choose one small behavior you want to develop. ____20____ For example, if you want to practice gratitude, spend one minute each evening thinking about one thing you’re thankful for. The key is consistency — do the tiny action every day, no matter what. Over time, these small steps add up to remarkable results.
A. This feeling builds confidence and motivation.
B. This helps them achieve their goals faster.
C. However, micro-habits are easy to maintain.
D. But a new strategy suggests starting much smaller.
E. The size of the habit sometimes matters.
F. Then, connect it to an existing daily routine.
G. They require a little time and energy.

阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
When my school introduced an AI-powered learning platform, I thought it would make everything easier. When I was tired of struggling with math problems for hours, the idea of having a digital tutor ____21____ me seemed like a dream come true.
For the first few weeks, it was exactly what I had hoped for. Whenever I ____22____ a problem, the platform would provide step-by-step solutions. I stopped thinking and simply followed the instructions. My homework was getting done faster than ever, and I felt a sense of ____23____ every time I submitted perfect answers.
But something strange began to happen. In class, when the teacher asked questions about what we had learned, I found myself ____24____. I could recall the answers I had typed, but I couldn’t explain why they were correct. I had been so focused on ____25____ the right answers that I had never learned the thinking behind them.
The turning point came during a test. I stared at a problem that looked familiar — I had solved it on the platform just days before. But my mind was ____26____. I couldn’t remember a single step. When I got my grade, it was the lowest I had ever received. I felt like I had ____27____ myself.
That night, I had a long conversation with my math teacher. “Technology is a tool,” she said. “But it can’t think for you. The struggle you were avoiding is exactly where real ____28____ happens.” Her words stayed with me.
I decided to ____29____ using the platform — but differently. Instead of asking for answers, I used it to check my work after I had tried on my own. When I got stuck, I would review the explanations and then ____30____ the problem once again. It was slower and harder, but gradually, things began to ____31____.
By the end of the semester, my grades had improved — but more importantly, I had learned something far more valuable. Technology can be a powerful ____32____, but it can’t replace the process of overcoming difficulties. The shortcuts (捷径) I had taken weren’t saving me time; they were ____33____ away the learning I needed.
Now, whenever I see an ad promising instant success, I think back to those weeks when I let an app do my thinking. The real growth, I’ve learned, doesn’t come from ____34____ the hard parts. It comes from ____35____ them.
21. A. guiding B. ignoring C. praising D. replacing
22. A. made up B. came across C. got rid of D. looked into
23. A. confusion B. frustration C. achievement D. disappointment
24. A. confident B. excited C. lost D. proud
25. A. questioning B. reaching C. avoiding D. missing
26. A. clear B. blank C. active D. sharp
27. A. cheated B. helped C. improved D. challenged

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Chinese calligraphy, ____36____ (consider) one of the highest forms of art in Chinese culture, has a history spanning thousands of years. Unlike ordinary writing, ____37____ is mainly for communication, calligraphy emphasizes the beauty of each stroke (笔画).
The tools used in calligraphy — brush, ink, paper, and inkstone — ____38____ (know) as the “Four Treasures of the Study.” Mastering this art requires years of practice. A calligrapher must learn ____39____ (control) the brush’s pressure and angle exactly. Even the slightest variation can change ____40____ (entire) how the character looks.
For centuries, calligraphy has served as ____41____ means of personal cultivation. Scholars believed that one’s character could be seen in their handwriting — a patient and disciplined person would naturally produce steady strokes. This philosophy gives calligraphy a depth that is far ____42____ (deep) than visual appeal alone.
In recent years, however, calligraphy has faced challenges from digital communication. Many young people type rather than write, ____43____ (lead) to what some call “character amnesia (遗忘症).” Yet, rather than fading away, the art is finding new life. Innovative artists are combining traditional brushwork ____44____ modern themes. This ____45____ (flexible) allows calligraphy to remain significant in a changing world.

We start with great enthusiasm, only to give up a few weeks later. ____16____ This approach, known as micro-habits, is changing the way people think about personal growth.
Micro-habits are tiny actions that take less than two minutes to complete. Instead of promising to exercise for an hour every day, you start by doing just one push-up. Instead of aiming to read a whole book, you begin with a single page. ____17____ They also require almost no motivation to start.
The science behind that approach is simple. When we try to make big changes, our brains often refuse because the effort seems hard to bear. ____18____ Once the behavior becomes automatic, we can gradually increase the difficulty. This is why micro-habits work: they avoid our brain’s natural refusal to change.
The benefits of micro-habits go beyond just getting things done. When you complete a tiny habit successfully, you experience a small sense of achievement. ____19____ It encourages you to keep going, creating a snowball effect that leads to bigger changes over time.
So how can you start Choose one small behavior you want to develop. ____20____ For example, if you want to practice gratitude, spend one minute each evening thinking about one thing you’re thankful for. The key is consistency — do the tiny action every day, no matter what. Over time, these small steps add up to remarkable results.
A. This feeling builds confidence and motivation.
B. This helps them achieve their goals faster.
C. However, micro-habits are easy to maintain.
D. But a new strategy suggests starting much smaller.
E. The size of the habit sometimes matters.
F. Then, connect it to an existing daily routine.
G. They require a little time and energy.
【答案】16. D 17. G 18. C 19. A 20. F

For the first few weeks, it was exactly what I had hoped for. Whenever I ____22____ a problem, the platform would provide step-by-step solutions. I stopped thinking and simply followed the instructions. My homework was getting done faster than ever, and I felt a sense of ____23____ every time I submitted perfect answers.

I decided to ____29____ using the platform — but differently. Instead of asking for answers, I used it to check my work after I had tried on my own. When I got stuck, I would review the explanations and then ____30____ the problem once again. It was slower and harder, but gradually, things began to ____31____.
By the end of the semester, my grades had improved — but more importantly, I had learned something far more valuable. Technology can be a powerful ____32____, but it can’t replace the process of overcoming difficulties. The shortcuts (捷径) I had taken weren’t saving me time; they were ____33____ away the learning I needed.
Now, whenever I see an ad promising instant success, I think back to those weeks when I let an app do my thinking. The real growth, I’ve learned, doesn’t come from ____34____ the hard parts. It comes from ____35____ them.

Sports Festival Brings Energy to Campus
Last week, to promote students’ physical health and team spirit, our school held a sports festival lasting three days.
Not only did it feature exciting basketball matches and relay races, but it also included fun activities like tug-of-war and sack races. What impressed us most was the teachers-versus-students football game, which drew loud cheers from the crowd. Because all participants showed great enthusiasm and the playground was filled with laughter, the festival turned out to be a huge success.
Worn out but overjoyed, students spoke highly of the event, realizing that this experience has taught us that a healthy body and positive mind are what matter most.

Auggie Pullman was not like other boys his age. He had been born with a facial difference that had kept him from going to a regular school for years. But now, At the age of ten, he started the fifth grade at Beecher Prep, but Auggie was scared. He knew that kids could be mean, and he had already experienced too many stares (异样眼光) and whispers.
On the first day, Auggie’s father walked him to the school gate. “You’re going to be great,” his father said, giving him a warm hug. Auggie took a deep breath and walked through the gate. His heart was beating fast, and his hands felt sweaty. The hallway was crowded with students, and he could feel their eyes on him. Some kids looked away quickly; others stared for a moment. Auggie kept his head down and walked toward his classroom.
When he entered the classroom, the noise suddenly died down. Everyone turned to look at him. Auggie felt his face grow hot. He wanted to run back home, but he remembered what his mother had told him: “You can’t hide forever, Auggie. You have to show them who you really are.”
He found a seat near the window and sat down quietly. Most students went back to their conversations, but a boy named Julian turned around and looked at Auggie with a strange smile. “Hey, what happened to your face ” Julian asked loudly. Some kids laughed. Auggie didn’t answer. He just stared at his desk, wishing he could disappear.
At lunchtime, Auggie sat alone at the end of a long table. He watched other kids eating together, laughing and talking. He felt a familiar loneliness creeping in. He was about to leave when a girl sat down across from him. Her name was Summer, and she smiled at him warmly.

【答案】
“Do you mind if I sit here ” Summer asked kindly. Auggie looked up in great surprise and nodded quickly. He had prepared for more indifference and whispers, but Summer’s warm smile melted his nervousness. They chatted about the new teacher and school food while eating, and Summer never avoided his eyes or showed discomfort about his face. When Julian passed by and sneered at Auggie, Summer stared back firmly and kept talking to cheer Auggie up. For the first time that day, Auggie felt the warmth of being accepted.
From that day on, things began to change for Auggie. Auggie gradually got close to more classmates, who were attracted by his kindness and humor. He joined the school science club and won a prize for his small invention, earning respect from peers. Julian stopped teasing him after most students stood by Auggie. By the end of the first semester, Auggie no longer hid himself. He learned that while facial differences may bring stares, one’s inner charm will finally let others see who he really is.
