A Wonderful Spring Outing
To get close to nature and relax our minds, our school organized a meaningful spring outing last Friday.
We set off early in the morning, talking and laughing all the way. Admiring the green trees and colorful flowers, we took plenty of photos to record the beautiful moments. Some students enjoyed the fresh air, while others took part in interesting group activities. Everyone had a great time.
This activity not only helped us relax from heavy schoolwork but also promoted our friendship. It’s such an unforgettable experience that we’ll keep it in mind forever.
第二节
Possible version:
My parents gently knocked on the door and entered, followed by Tom. Sensing my deep regret, they comforted me softly instead of blaming me. Tom held my prized soccer shoes tightly, his eyes sparkling with trust, and in his hand was the well-designed sign he’d always waved at my games. “We never care about winning,” my mother whispered, stroking my back. “We just miss the boy who loved soccer with all his heart.” My father nodded, adding, “Passion lies within you — just reach for it.” Touched deeply, I grasped the shoes, tears sliding down, and made up my mind to return to the field.
I tried to reawaken my long-lost passion for soccer gradually. I put away the game controller and stuck to training daily. Though breathless after short runs at first, I practiced dribbling and shooting tirelessly. My teammates encouraged me, and Tom cheered loudly with his sign at every practice. Slowly, I regained my speed and skills. When I scored a wonderful goal in a match, teammates rushed to celebrate with me, and Tom jumped for joy. At that moment, I truly realized real joy comes from passion and the warmth of family and friendship, not virtual games.

Sangeeta had imagined herself in a well-equipped classroom filled with eager students before she received her posting in a village school. However, this was not the case. Out of 130 children enrolled (已注册的), fewer than 30 attended the school regularly, and there were only three teachers in total, each one covering several subjects, often outside their own area of expertise.
After gathering her thoughts, Sangeeta decided to start with the attendance rate. “After school hours, I would go door to door in the afternoons. I sat with parents, explaining why education mattered, and why it was worth sending their children to school instead of making them work,” she shares. “It was a battle — I begged at times, I reasoned at others, and I kept asking them to send their children to school at least one more day. Slowly, attendance rose to 100 students. It wasn’t an easy victory.”
However, this promising period was short-lived, as Sangeeta soon discovered that traditional teaching methods seemed ineffective. “The children didn’t want to just sit and listen,” she recalls. “They brightened up when I told stories, sang songs, or played games with them.” Thus, she began using folk tales, riddles, and interactive activities to make learning enjoyable. Over time, the children started participating eagerly.
Additionally; Sangeeta often eats midday meals with her students, suggesting that when they see her eating from the same kind of plate, they feel she is one of them. During seasonal fevers, she keeps basic medicines in the staffroom. She adds that on days when rice is served, she avoids giving it to sick children since it is believed to aggravate (使加重) colds. Instead, she shares her light meal with them before giving medicine.
For Sangeeta, teaching has never been just a job; it is a mission. She says, “When I started, the classrooms were almost empty. Today, those are full of laughter and learning. That is my biggest reward.”
24. How might Sangeeta feel when she first arrived at the school
A. Hopeful. B. Disappointed. C. Inspired. D. Regretful.
25. What did Sangeeta find challenging
A. Teaching several subjects at once. B. Adapting to life in the countryside.
C. Getting more educational resources. D. Involving more students in education.
26. Why did Sangeeta adjust her teaching method
A. To interest students in learning. B. To encourage independent learning.
C. To reduce lesson preparation stress. D. To strengthen traditional culture learning.
27. Which of the following can best describe Sangeeta
A. Cautious and strict. B. Practical and honest. C. Devoted and caring. D. Emotional and humorous.
C
For decades “Monday blues” has been a term for the collective groan (叹息) that greets the start of each workweek. Mondays come with higher rates of anxiety, stress and even suicide compared with other days.
The stress and anxiety experienced on Monday seems to ease as the week unfolds. But is the stress and anxiety biologically distinct Furthermore, could the fleeting changes in mood leave a mark on people’s body even after they stop working To answer these questions, Professor Tarani Chandola from HKU, looked into the phenomenon, focusing on the stress hormone cortisol (皮质醇).
When we experience a stressor, the brain activates the release of cortisol, which helps us to manage short-term stress. But constant high levels of cortisol disturb the brain and bodily systems, increasing the risk of anxiety, depression, heart disease, diabetes and obesity.
Chandola studied 3,511 participants aged 50 and older in England, and the results were striking. Older adults who reported feeling anxious on Mondays had, on average, 23 percent higher levels of cortisol up to two months later, compared with those who felt anxious on other days. And the effect was not limited to those still working; retirees who felt anxious on Mondays also showed higher cortisol.
Why might Mondays, in particular, have a powerful effect on the body One possibility is that the shift from the weekend to the high demands of the week is essentially stressful. Also, some people become anxious on Mondays so routinely that it becomes an automatic bodily response.
For some people, Monday blues are constant stressors. Hospitals may need to plan for the increased risk of heart attacks and other health events on Mondays, especially among older adults. In addition, international practices like meditation, mindfulness, regular physical activity or good sleep might help people adapt to the start of the week and have long-term health benefits. Finally, researchers will need to investigate why some people are resilient (适应力强) to Monday anxiety while others are not. That question might open the door to interventions that help people start the week not just with a groan but with greater resilience.
28. What does the underlined word “fleeting” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Extreme. B. Uncommon. C. Short-lived. D. Far-reaching.
29. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3
A. To define a medical term.
B. To show ways to handle stress.
C. To explain how cortisol helps reduce stress.
D. To reveal how stress harms health biologically.
30. What did Chandola’s study find about Monday anxiety
A. Its levels are closely related to age.
B. It is a lifelong burden for some people.
C. It is the primary challenge people face.
D. Its effects are limited among the elderly.
31. Which is one of the author’s suggestions to address Monday blues
A. Researchers doing further studies. B. Hospitals keeping track of the old.
C. Individuals seeking help from others. D. Companies reducing Monday workloads.
D
Scientists at MIT have managed to change ordinary spinach (菠菜) plants into natural sensors which can find chemicals used in bombs. The secret to giving spinach these special powers is nanotech (纳米技术), which is a scientific area that deals with making or changing things that are extremely tiny.
“Ordinary spinach plants can be found everywhere and easy to store; like other plants, they normally take in carbon dioxide gas,” the scientists say. “But actually they can sense small changes of soil and water potential and respond to them. If we tap into this point, there is a wealth of information to access.” That’s what the scientists use to power their tiny experiments.
For this experiment, the scientists placed two different kinds of tiny nano-materials into spinach plants. To embed (植入) them into the plants, the scientists put a liquid containing them on the bottom of the plant’s leaves. As part of its natural process, the spinach plant pulls water through its roots and into its leaves. If the water contains certain chemicals used in bombs, the tiny sensors in the leaves make the nano-tubes, which, along with the sensors, were placed into the spinach plant before by the scientists, produce a slightly special kind of light. By watching the plant constantly using a camera attached to a computer, the scientists set up a system that can send a warning email if chemicals from explosives are found in the water.
The computer the scientists used is about the size of a playing card. They say that in the future, their system could even use a cell phone with its camera changed slightly. Discovering chemicals used in bombs is just one of the many uses the researchers are exploring. They have used such plants to discover several other dangerous chemicals as well. From their point of view, there’s no doubt that in the future, such systems could give farmers specific information about the health of the land and water on their farms.
32. Why do the scientists use spinach plants to do the experiment
A. They are common in the daily life.
B. They are environmentally responsive.
C. They are small in size and easy to store.
D. They are efficient at absorbing carbon dioxide.
33. What’s the function of the nano-tubes placed into spinach plants
A. Fixing the tiny sensors. B. Containing the liquid.
C. Controlling the camera. D. Giving off plant light.
34. What can you infer about the system from the last paragraph
A. Researchers are confident in its agricultural potential.
B. Future success depends on specialized phone cameras.
C. Farmers have received farm-specific environmental data.
D. The computer can be sized according to scientists’ needs.
35. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Nanotech Protects Spinach from Danger.
B. Spinach can Grow Healthily via Nanotech.
C. Spinach Is Sensitive to Chemicals in Bombs.
D. Nanotech Turns Spinach into a Chemical Sensor.

We all know that eating too much sugar isn’t good for us, as its consumption is linked to health dangers like obesity, heart disease, and cancer. Reducing sugar intake not only helps you avoid the harm of overconsumption. 36
The first thing to understand is that not all sugar is bad for you because there’s a big difference between natural sugars and added sugars. 37 They provide energy and sweetness, urging us to eat food rich in vitamins, minerals and nutrients that offset the sugar. For instance, a medium mango has over 20g of natural sugar but plenty of fiber for absorption.
38 Added during processing, cooking or at the table, they’re listed as “added sugars” on labels, with over 200 names like “honey” or “corn syrup”. What’s worse, added sugars offer no meaningful nutrients — they’re “empty calories”. 39 Too much intake raises risks of immune system disorders, high blood pressure and over a dozen cancers. A 2023 study links 35% more added sugar to 65% higher risk of heart disease and a 10% higher risk of stroke. They also feed harmful gut bacteria, causing inflammation and mental health issues.
Cutting added sugars boosts quality of life. It lowers depression risk, enhances focus before tests, reduces acne for better skin, and calms the brain for better sleep. 40 You benefit from permanent reduction, but even temporary cuts work — 8 weeks of a low-sugar diet improves teens’ liver health, and type 2 diabetes also drops rapidly.
A. Many struggle to cut sugar due to strong desires.
B. Added sugars, however, are a wholly different story.
C. Importantly, the benefits can appear in a very short time.
D. Processed foods often hide huge amounts of added sugars.
E. Moreover, it brings surprising benefits you will enjoy soon.
F. Their true danger lies in the harm they do to bodily systems.
G. Natural sugars in bread, fruit and milk are naturally existing.

A Wonderful Spring Outing
第二节（满分25分）
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’m Davey, a senior high school student, and soccer used to be my whole world. As the fastest striker on my team, I was good at dribbling (运球) past defenders. My little brother, Tom, was my biggest fan — he’d cheer loudly every time I played, waving a well-designed sign with my name in bright markers. We’d dreamed for months of winning the city teenagers’ soccer tournament (锦标赛), a big event all our friends talked about, so we practiced hard. But everything has changed since my birthday.
I had begged my parents for a popular video game. After some consideration, they agreed to get it for me, as they felt sure I could manage my time well. At first, I just spent a little time on it and stuck to our team schedule without absence. However, the game’s attractive visuals began to draw me in more. I’d spend more time, curled (蜷缩) up on the sofa. Later, I started putting off soccer practice for one more game, brushing off Tom’s calls and overlooking my teammates’ text reminders. Bit by bit, my prized soccer shoes gifted by my parents after my first championship began to gather dust in the corner, as I was glued to the screen. When Tom begged seriously, “Your teammates need you.” I mumbled (咕哝), “Later…”, never taking my eyes off the game.
The tournament arrived and I struggled onto the field, out of breath, slow on my feet, and completely unable to cooperate with the team. I missed easy passes, tripped over my own feet and failed to score a single goal. We lost thoroughly and our dream fell apart. My teammates’ disappointed faces cut me deeper than any loss before.
That evening, I sat alone in my room, the game controller feeling heavy and meaningless in my hand. My eyes accidentally fell on the prized soccer shoes. My throat tightened as I touched them with my fingers, a wave of regret washing over me as I realized just how much I’d thrown away for an empty video game.
注意：
（1）续写词数应为 150 个左右；
（2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
My parents gently knocked on the door and entered, followed by Tom. I tried to reawaken my long-lost passion for soccer gradually.

Today, let’s talk about the crime novelist Barry Maitland. He was born in 1941 in Scotland. After studying architecture at Cambridge, Maitland practiced and taught in the UK before moving to Australia, where he became a professor of architecture at the University of Newcastle. He retired in 2000 and took up writing full-time. Maitland has written a series of crime novels known as the Brock and Kolla novels, set mainly in London. Maitland’s main contribution to the police procedural is his imaginative depiction of crime settings. The Marx Sisters, published in 1994, is the first of the series of fourteen Brock and Kolla novels. The Malcontenta, the second novel in Maitland’s Brock and Kolla series received the Ned Kelly Award for Crime Fiction in 1996. It is available in German, French, and Italian versions. If you enjoy detective stories, Barry Maitland’s novels could be a perfect choice.
