We put limitations on ourselves when the fear of failure grows stronger than our will to succeed. That’s why we all need a push to help us reach further than we ever
thought possible.
That is the purpose of NubAbility Athletics Foundation, a nonprofit
organization aimed to get “limb (肢体) different” youth — kids who are amputees (被截肢者) — “out of the stands, off the bench, and into mainstream sports.” The
organization holds camps around the country, pairing kids and coaches with similar limb differences to help them reach their full physical potential.
Tim, who was born without arms, certainly didn’t believe he could pull off a 20-inch box jump before he joined. This month, the 14-year-old participated in the weight-lifting and training program at a camp and achieved something amazing.
In a video on the Internet, we see Tim’s coach teaching him to jump onto a box. With no arm strength, it seems like a tough task. While Tim pushes through his
self-doubt and jumps, he still holds back on his first two tries and doesn’t stick the landing.
Then, the coach pats her hands onto the box, yelling, “All the people who told you you can’t — right here, jump on them. Now!” This time, Tim puts all his energy into the jump. Still, it isn’t enough to make it all the way onto the box.
Understandably, Tim grows frustrated and turns away as if to give up. But he’s not done yet. Tim turns back to the box with a look of pure determination, bends his
knees and launches himself onto the box!
As his coaches cheer him on, the victorious teen jumps down and straights into his motivator’s arms, overwhelmed with emotion at what he just achieved. That day, Tim learned he is capable of so much more than he knew.
Tim is living proof that we can all achieve greatness, no matter our limitations. All we have to do is keep trying. Never give up, and never let the word “can’t” hold you back!
4 ．What is the mission of NubAbility Athletics Foundation

C ．A good beginning is half done. D ．It is no use crying over spilled milk.

Americans eat more than 3 million tons of chocolate each year, enjoying the
unique taste that only the beans of the cacao (可可) plant can provide. To make the
taste delicious as a sweet treat, chocolate makers combine cacao beans with lots of
sugar. Together with saturated fatty acids (饱和脂肪酸) provided by the addition of cacao butter from the fruit, the few health benefits provided by the chocolate bean are outweighed by ingredients (成分) that increase the risk of illness.
To address this imbalance, a team of researchers from ETH Zürich in
Switzerland has gone back to the basics and reinvented the chocolate ingredients from the ground up. They’ve exchanged some of the sugar with a part of the cacao fruit
that’s usually thrown away.
By separating and drying the fiber-rich (富含纤维的) inside wall of the fruit — or endocarp — and combining it with juice from the soft inside part of the fruit that
covers the cacao beans, the researchers found they could make something sweet to exchange the sugar commonly added to chocolate ingredients. Not only did the
resulting chocolate have higher fiber content than traditional blocks, but it also provided equal sweetness without the same level of sugar usage.
As an added bonus, parts of the fruit usually thrown away as waste could be kept and marketed, allowing cacao farmers to make more money.
Changing a new product developed in a laboratory into a marketable product
requires the clearing away of numerous difficulties, not least of which is the basic
infrastructure (基础设施). “Although we’ve shown that our chocolate is attractive and has a comparable mouth-feel to traditional chocolate, the whole creation process will need to be adapted, starting with the cacao farmers, who will require drying
machines,” says the study’s lead author Kim Mishra.
Yet now that the whole-fruit chocolate has proven itself, there is good reason to believe that this low-sugar, high-fiber option will be sold in supermarkets in the near future.
8 ．Why did the researchers reinvent chocolate ingredients
A ．To reduce the cost of chocolate production.
B ．To increase the cacao bean content in chocolate.
C ．To reduce health risks related to eating chocolate.
D ．To increase the natural sweetness of cacao beans.
9 ．What is good about the new chocolate with endocarp compared to traditional one
A ．It tastes sweeter. B ．It is more shapeable.
C ．It provides more fiber. D ．It is more like fruit in smell.
10 ．What does the underlined word “bonus” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A ．Treat. B ．Option. C ．Reason. D ．Benefit.
11 ．What is the author’s attitude toward the future of the new chocolate
A ．Hopeful. B ．Unclear. C ．Carefree. D ．Doubtful.

Nurse Rod Salaysay works with all kinds of instruments in the hospital. In the
recovery unit of UC San Diego Health, Salaysay helps patients manage pain after
surgery. Along with medications, he offers tunes on request and sometimes sings.
Patients often smile or nod along. Salaysay even sees changes in their vital signs like lower heart rate and blood pressure, and some may request fewer painkillers. Salaysay is a one-man band, but he’s not alone. Over the past two decades, live performances
and recorded music have flowed into hospitals and doctors’ offices as research grows on how songs can help ease pain.
The idea of using recorded music to lessen pain associated with dental surgery began in the late 19th century before local anesthetics (麻醉药) were available. Today researchers are studying what conditions make music most effective.
Researchers at Erasmus University Rotterdam in the Netherlands conducted a study on 548 participants to see how listening to five genres of music—classical,
rock, pop, urban and electronic — extended their ability to tolerate acute pain, as measured by exposure to very cold temperatures.
“The more people listened to a favorite genre, the more they could tolerate
pain,” said co-author Dr. Emy van der Valk Bouman. “A lot of people thought that classical music would help them more. Actually, we are finding more evidence that what’s best is just the music you like.”
The exact reasons are still unclear, but it may be because familiar songs activate more memories and emotions, she said. The simple act of choosing is itself powerful, said Claire Howlin, director of the Music and Health Psychology Lab at Trinity
College Dublin, who co-authored a study that suggested allowing patients to select
songs improved their pain tolerance. “It’s one thing that people can have control over if they have a chronic condition — it gives them agency,” she said.
Hanley, the Florida State psychologist, co-authored a preliminary study
suggesting daily attentive listening might reduce chronic (慢性的) pain. “Music has a way of lighting up different parts of the brain,” he said, “so you’re giving people this positive emotional bump that takes their mind away from the pain.” It’s a simple
prescription (处方) with no side effects, some doctors now say.
12 ．How does the author lead to the topic of the text
A ．By citing historical records.
B ．By using a real-life example.
C ．By sharing professional opinions.
D ．By quoting a famous proverb.
13 ．What is most effective in pain tolerance according to the Erasmus University study
A ．Classical music. B ．Electronic music.
C ．The genre the listener prefers. D ．Rock music.
14 ．Which statement will Hanley most probably agree with
A ．Families choose music for patients.
B ．Casual listening lessens chronic pain.
C ．Focused listening may alleviate pain.
D ．Inspiration al songs cheer patients up.
15 ．What is the best title for the text
A ．The History of Music Therapy
B ．The Differences among Music Genres
C ．Nurse Salaysay’s Singing Career
D ．How Music Helps Patients Manage Pain

根据短文内容，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。
Trust helps relationships grow, but it doesn’t come equally easily to everyone. 16 Instead, it is shaped by our experiences, our personality, and the way we
have been treated in the past. That’s why people may trust in different ways.
Trust sits at the heart of daily life. When you take a taxi, you trust the driver to get you home safely. When you pay a worker to fix something, you trust him to do the job well. Typically, at school or work, you trust people to keep promises and respect basic rules. 17 Without trust, many everyday activities would feel risky.
However, once trust is broken, rebuilding it can be hard. When we meet
someone new, we naturally pay closer attention to the setting and the person’s
behaviour. We carry earlier lessons with us, too: many of us were taught as children
not to talk to strangers. 18 This protective instinct naturally carries over into our everyday social life.
19 Sometimes we get a “feeling” about whether someone is safe to rely on. Yet a first impression is not the same as a final judgement. If we’ve been burned before, we may question our ability to read people and situations. We may then hold back even when someone means well.
The good news is that trust can be developed. Start by knowing your values and setting clear boundaries. Take your time, communicate worries honestly, and let trust grow through small actions. 20 If emotional pain is deep, professional help may be needed.
A ．The same goes for first impressions.
B ．It is more than a dictionary meaning.
C ．That habit can shape our first judgement of others.
D ．People may respond very differently to the same event.
E ．Over time, these steps can help build trust more steadily.
F ．Consequently, it is easy to stay cautious until we see the full picture.
G ．We even trust strangers when we travel to and from school or work.

I knew exercise is good for health — who doesn’t But were easier. Running bored me, biking sounded risky, and the gym seemed too much to handle. Each offered me a reason to it, so I did.

move to reach a destination. They move to hunt and to tend crops. There is no such thing as a , but they are working out 24-7. Maybe I could take from these people and add meaning to my exercising. So, I launched my program: “chicken-cising,” with 15 baby chicks and a book on backyard chickens.
It turned out that caring for the flightless birds was quite — a
full-body workout involving bending, squatting (深蹲), weightlifting and running around. One weekend, my e-watch as many as 145 squats and 10,506 steps!
I ended up in better shape than expected and found extra that no gym workout can provide. First, quitting is not a(n) : You can’t put on your
“chicken-cise” clothes, sit for a while, and then simply decide not to ,

Sandro was born and grew up in Milan. Until he was 13 years old, he never
wanted to leave his hometown. But last year, Sandro’s father’s investment went bad, wiping out the family and sending his parents to prison. As a teenager under 16 years old, Sandro was forced to go to Newcastle in the northeast of England to stay with his uncle Lawrence.
Sandro had a lot of difficulties in the new environment. He didn’t like the food in England. Nobody could forecast the weather in Newcastle. He had to start learning the second foreign language in his new school. Pocket money was not enough as
usual. Almost every subject was a challenge for him. Most importantly, he had no friends. It seemed nobody knew him and he knew nobody in the school.
On an early summer evening, when Sandro was going home alone from school as usual, a man called him from behind. Sandro turned around and saw Eddie, his PE teacher, standing in front of him.
“You know, the school will have a swimming competition next month. There will be all kinds of races. Will you participate ” Eddie asked.
Sandro took a look at Eddie with doubt and answered, “You sure Me No. I won’t. I can swim, but I’m slower than a snail.”
Eddie smiled and then said, “Yes. Indeed. You are, in breaststroke(蛙泳), in
backstroke, and in butterfly, but not in freestyle. So join the freestyle race! 200-meter freestyle is the game suitable for you.”
Sandro was speechless at that moment. He had never known someone in the school was observing him and caring for him.
“I don’t think I can win anything,” Sandro was still a little puzzled.
“But you may get more recognition and consequently you can make some friends. That is more important than prizes,” Eddie responded immediately.
Having hesitated for a while, Sandro agreed to have a try.注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了传统巧克力的健康益处低于高糖带来的患病风险，为了解决这一问题，瑞士苏黎世联邦理工学院的研究团队发明了新型巧克力，这种巧克力不仅低糖，而且纤维含量高。
8．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“To make the taste delicious as a sweet treat, chocolate makers combine cacao beans with lots of sugar. Together with saturated fatty acids (饱和脂肪酸)
provided by the addition of cacao butter from the fruit, the few health benefits provided by the
chocolate bean are outweighed by ingredients (成分) that increase the risk of illness.(为了使味道像甜食一样美味，巧克力制造商将可可豆与大量糖结合在一起。再加上水果中可可脂提供的饱和脂肪酸，巧克力豆带来的少量健康益处被那些增加患病风险的成分所超过)”和第二段中的“To address this imbalance, a team of researchers from ETH Zürich in Switzerland has gone
back to the basics and reinvented the chocolate ingredients from the ground up.(为了解决这种不平衡问题，瑞士苏黎世联邦理工学院的一个研究小组回到了基础，从头开始重新发明了巧克
力成分)”可知，传统巧克力含有大量糖和饱和脂肪酸，导致健康益处低于患病风险，而研究者改造配方就是为了解决这个失衡问题，由此可推知，其核心目的是降低食用巧克力带来的健康风险。故选 C。
9 ．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Not only did the resulting chocolate have higher fiber content than traditional blocks, but it also provided equal sweetness without the same level of sugar
usage.(最终的巧克力不仅比传统巧克力块具有更高的纤维含量，而且在不使用同量糖的情况下也提供了相同的甜味)”可知，新型巧克力比传统巧克力纤维含量更高，且甜度和传统巧克力相当。故选 C。
10 ．词句猜测题。根据画线词前的“added”可知，这里是对前文的补充说明，结合第三段中的“Not only did the resulting chocolate have higher fiber content than traditional blocks, but it
also provided equal sweetness without the same level of sugar usage.(最终的巧克力不仅比传统 巧克力块具有更高的纤维含量，而且在不使用同量糖的情况下也提供了相同的甜味)”可知，前面说新型巧克力纤维含量更高，这是新发明巧克力的好处之一。画线词后的“parts of the fruit usually thrown away as waste could be kept and marketed, allowing cacao farmers to make
more money(通常会被当作废弃物丢弃的水果部分可以被保留下来并进行销售，这能让可可种植户获得更多的收入)”可知，这里说原本被当作废物丢弃的可可果部分可以被利用售卖，帮助可可农增收，这是这项技术带来的额外好处。由此可推知，bonus 意为“好处” ，与
benefit(好处，益处)意思一致。故选 D。
11 ．推理判断题。根据原文最后一段“Yet now that the whole-fruit chocolate has proven itself, there is good reason to believe that this low-sugar, high-fiber option will be sold in supermarkets
in the near future.(然而，既然全果巧克力已经证明了自己，有充分的理由相信这种低糖、高纤维的选择将在不久的将来在超市出售)”可知，作者认为有充分理由相信新型巧克力很快会进入大众市场，因此对它的未来持乐观充满希望的态度。故选 A。
12 ．B 13 ．C 14 ．C 15 ．D
本文是一篇说明文。文章以护士 Salaysay 用音乐帮助术后患者缓解疼痛为例，介绍音乐在缓解疼痛方面的应用及相关研究发现。
12．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Nurse Rod Salaysay works with all kinds of instruments in the hospital. In the recovery unit of UC San Diego Health, Salaysay helps patients manage pain after surgery. Along with medications, he offers tunes on request and sometimes sings. Patients often
smile or nod along. Salaysay even sees changes in their vital signs like lower heart rate and blood
pressure, and some may request fewer painkillers.(罗德·萨拉赛护士在医院里使用各种仪器工
作。在加州大学圣地亚哥健康中心的康复病房，萨拉赛帮助术后患者缓解疼痛。除了药物治疗，他还会根据要求播放曲子，有时还会唱歌。患者们常常会微笑着点头附和。萨拉赛甚至能看到他们生命体征的变化，比如心率和血压降低，有些患者可能会要求减少止痛药的用量)”可知，作者通过讲述护士 Salaysay 用音乐帮助患者缓解疼痛的真实事例，引出下文音乐与缓解疼痛相关的话题。故选 B 项。
13 ．细节理解题。根据第四段中的““The more people listened to a favorite genre, the more they could tolerate pain,” said co-author Dr. Emy van der Valk Bouman. “A lot of people thought that classical music would help them more. Actually, we are finding more evidence that what’s best is just the music you like.”(该研究的合著者艾米·范德瓦尔克·布曼博士说：“人们越听自己喜欢的音乐类型，就越能忍受疼痛。很多人认为古典音乐会对他们帮助更大。事实上，我们发现越来越多的证据表明，最好的音乐就是你喜欢的音乐。”)”可知，鹿特丹伊拉斯姆斯大学的研究发现，最能提高疼痛耐受性的是听者喜欢的音乐类型。故选 C 项。
14 ．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Hanley, the Florida State psychologist, co-authored a
preliminary study suggesting daily attentive listening might reduce chronic (慢性的) pain. “Music has a way of lighting up different parts of the brain,” he said, “so you’re giving people this
positive emotional bump that takes their mind away from the pain.”(佛罗里达州立大学的心理学家汉利共同撰写了一项初步研究，该研究表明，每天专注聆听音乐可能会减轻慢性疼痛。他说：“音乐有一种点亮大脑不同区域的方式，所以你给人们带来这种积极的情绪冲击，让他们的注意力从疼痛上移开。”)”可推断，汉利很可能会认同“专注聆听音乐可能会缓解疼痛”这一观点。故选 C 项。
15．主旨大意题。通读全文，第一段以护士 Salaysay 的事例引出“音乐帮助患者缓解疼痛” 的话题；第二段介绍音乐用于缓解疼痛的历史开端；第三至六段围绕不同研究展开，说明喜欢的音乐、专注聆听音乐对缓解疼痛的作用及相关原因。结合第一段句子“Salaysay helps
patients manage pain after surgery. Along with medications, he offers tunes on request and
sometimes sings.(萨拉赛帮助术后患者缓解疼痛。除了药物治疗，他还会根据要求播放曲子，有时还会唱歌)”和“research grows on how songs can help ease pain.(关于歌曲如何帮助缓解疼 痛的研究越来越多)”可知，本文主要围绕音乐如何帮助患者缓解疼痛展开。D 项“音乐如何 帮助患者缓解疼痛” ，精准概括全文主旨，是最适合的标题。故选 D 项。
16 ．B 17 ．G 18 ．F 19 ．A 20 ．E
本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍信任对人际关系的重要性、信任的形成原因、在生活中的体现、信任被破坏后的重建方法以及相关心理机制。
16 ．根据前文“Trust helps relationships grow, but it doesn’t come equally easily to everyone.(信任有助于人际关系成长，但它并非对每个人来说都同样容易形成)”以及后文“Instead, it is

46 ．How to Live a Low-Carbon Life
Living a low-carbon life is crucial in the face of global environmental challenges. It helps combat climate change and preserves our planet for future generations.
We can take various steps. For daily travel, prefer walking, cycling or public transport over driving. At home, conserve energy by switching off unused appliances and using energy-efficient ones. In terms of consumption, reduce waste by recycling and avoiding single-use items. For
example, carry a reusable water bottle instead of buying bottled water.
By adopting these simple yet effective habits, we can all play a part in living a low-carbon life and making the world a better place.
47 ．One possible version:
Every afternoon for the next month, Sandro trained really hard. Starting position, starting
dive, turning, pushing off, touching the timing pad, all details, he practiced them over and over.
Whenever he was exhausted, Eddie’s words echoed in his mind and supplied extra energy to him. “Maybe I can’t be the champion of the game, but I can be the champion for myself.” He spoke in a low mumble to himself after he finished the last training. Finally, the day of competition arrived.
With the sound of the starting gun piercing through the air, the race began as expected.
Sandro dived into the pool confidently like other competitors. He swam as freely as a fish.
150 meters covered, he was left behind by 2 competitors. In the last 50 meters, Sandro swam
magnificently, with his arms pushing forward fast, his legs hitting the water hard. Finally, the
championship was still out of his reach. When the result was announced that Sandro won third
place, however, other players congratulated him, the audience in the stadium bursting into
thunderous applause. As teacher Eddie said, he won the recognition and respect from others with his effort.
