My School Life
My school life is busy but colorful. Every morning, I arrive at school at 7:30 and start my day with morning reading. We have four classes in the morning and three in the afternoon.
My favorite subject is English. I love it because our English teacher often plays English songs and organizes group discussions, which helps me improve both my listening and speaking skills.
After class, I enjoy playing basketball with my classmates on the playground. It’s a great way to relax and build teamwork.
I really love my school life.

My School Life
My school life is a journey through growth. Each morning at 7:30, the classroom fills with the sound of reading, and I know another day has begun.
English class is when I feel most alive. My teacher opens doors. Through her, I’ve discovered stories that touch my heart and pen pals who share their worlds with me.
After school, basketball court calls. Sweating with teammates, I’ve learned that trust matters more than winning. We win together, lose together, and grow together.
School isn’t just preparing me for the future. It’s where I’m becoming who I am.

Then Catherine spotted Landy seated alone in a corner. She ducked her head with her eyes fixed on the floor as usual. It hit Catherine that the pecking order worked in school, too. Landy was just like the poor little chicken, being teased and ignored by her classmates, merely due to her special height. “It’s high time to do something for a change.” Catherine thought to herself. Having made up her mind, she urged the rest cool kids to make peace with Landy. Astonished at what she said, all the kids burst out screaming, “Talking to the long spaghetti Are you crazy ”
But Catherine walked directly toward Landy, no matter what they said. “Landy, sorry about the spaghetti thing. I should have realized it earlier. Can you forgive us ” Catherine murmured an apology, her face reddening. She figured Landy might just walk away. But she lifted her misty eyes and nodded yes. Catherine wiped away her tears, giving her a warm hug. Moved by the scene, the other kids also came to offer their sincere apologies to Landy. From that day on, no one made up silly chants about Landy, and Catherine also learned that everyone should be treated equally no matter how special he or she was.2025-2026学年河南郑州尚美中学下学期期中英语试卷

UW Student Classical Music Jacoby Competition
The worlds of competition and classical music meet head-on as the University of Wyoming’s finest student musicians will be chosen during the UW Symphony Orchestra’s Jacoby Competition at 7:30 pm on May 6 in the Buchanan Center for the Performing Arts concert hall.
Tickets are $19 for the general public, $15 for the elderly and $9 for students. To order tickets, call (307) 766-6666 or go online at www./ticket-sales/uwyo/6984.
The concert is named after Dorothy Jacoby, a musical and founding member of the local Symphony Association and a longtime supporter of classical music in Laramie. After her death, her sons, Peter and Michael Jacoby, made a generous contribution in honour of their mother.
“The Jacoby Competition never fails to be one of the UW Symphony Orchestra’s most exciting events,” says UW Department of Music Professor Michael Griffith. “What you will hear is actually the finals of a two-stage competition.”
Several months ago, many UW music students played their selected pieces in the audition (试演) round. A group of well-known musicians served as judges and chose the seven top students to perform in the finals concert. Another set of judges will be at the performance and will decide the best two performances of the evening. The winners will get the $2,500 prize that is awarded at the performance.
21. What is the ticket price for students to attend the concert
A. $5. B. $9. C. $15. D. $19.
22. What were the music students required to do in the first round
A. Produce the original work. B. Practice with these musicians.
C. Perform their picked music. D. Play pieces written by judges.
23. What will the winners receive
A. Recordings. B. Cash awards. C. Concert tickets. D. Singing auditions.

“It’s like riding a bike” is a common comment when you want to remind someone that it’s hard to forget a basic skill. But what if you don’t know how to ride a bike
This was something Annette Kruger, an avid (热衷的) cyclist, saw that was true for many women in Berlin, including refugees, who’d moved to there. Whether they weren’t allowed or didn’t have the opportunity to learn, these women had never experienced the health benefits and independence that cycling offers.
That is why, seven years ago, Kruger started Bikeygees, a non-profit organization focused on teaching women to ride a bike. The group members gather for two hours for training sessions every week. Advanced riders can borrow bikes and helmets for free to practise on their own.
The group also teaches women how to fix bikes, instilling (逐步培养) a sense of self-sufficiency, says Kruger. If they can do bike repairs, ride and learn the German rules of the road, they are awarded with a bike kit, including a bike, a helmet, a bike lock and bike tools. More than 500 bikes have been donated so far, and Kruger says the goal is to eventually provide all participants with their own bikes. To date, the group has taught more than 1,400 women and has met in more than 20 locations within Germany, including in emergency shelters.
Participants have said that riding a bike allows them not only freedom of movement — some of the women use them to bring their children to school — but also hope for the future. Kruger says that she can see the impact that concentrating on a new skill has on the women. “We can’t replace what someone lost in their life, but we can offer something new. The success is measured in the smiles of the riders when they conquer another bike skill.” She recalls one student in her 60s who continued to practice through a bitter winter. She said, “This is a dream for me. I have been waiting my whole life to do this.”
24. What did the women in Berlin obtain from Bikeygees
A. Opportunities to learn German. B. Chances to move away from Berlin.
C. Attention to their living conditions. D. Fitness and freedom to get around.
25. What do we learn about the Bikeygees project
A. It becomes increasingly popular. B. It has made large profits.
C. It offers more bikes than needed. D. It allows beginners to practise individually.
26. Which is a benefit for the participants from the last paragraph
A. A fund for women. B. The capacity to earn money.
C. The freedom of their children. D. A prospect of future life.
27. Which of the following best describes Annette Kruger
A. Energetic. B. Caring. C. Humorous. D. Honest.
C
The Forbidden City is well known for being full of Chinese cultural and historical relics. But Masters in the Forbidden City (《我在故宫修文物》) does not just focus on the stories of the past. Instead, the documentary movie, which came out in Chinese cinemas on 16 December, focuses on ordinary people — the restorers of relics and antiquities (古董).
The stories are told at a slow and relaxed pace, reflecting the restorers’ work. Restoration of cultural relics and antiques can be time-consuming, and sometimes boring. Yet these restorers’ patience and peace of mind are especially precious in a society where everything is changing so fast.
“If you choose this job, you have to stand hours of work sitting on a chair. You need to be quiet and get used to being quiet,” says Wang Jin, an ancient clock repair expert.
A touching part of the documentary is the spirit of craftsmanship in the restorers. “Years of humdrum work requires not only skill, but also faith and spirit,” China Daily commented. “Looking for preciseness and perfection, devoting yourself to work, patience, endurance, loneliness... all these qualities come from the craftsman spirit. ”
But unlike the popular idea of serious experts who sit around being serious, the documentary shows off the enthusiasm of the restorers. They play their guitars and make jokes about each other after a long day of restoration work.
One scene that has been very popular with Internet users features a young female restorer riding a bicycle through the empty Forbidden City on a Monday. While she is doing this, a narrator says, “The last person to do this was Pu Yi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty.”
Masters in the Forbidden City has proved many people’s wrong ideas about antique restorers, allowing them to realise that they are not old, dull professors, but people in their 40s, 30s and even 20s who can be quite pleasing to the eye.
28. Why is the documentary movie made
A. To show people how antiques are restored.
B. To display relics seldom seen by ordinary people.
C. To draw attention to Chinese antique restorers’ lives.
D. To praise the craftsmanship of Chinese antique restorers.
29. What does Wang Jin mean in paragraph 3
A. He often gets tired with his work.
B. There is no need to do restoration work fast.
C. Antique restorers need to be patient and peaceful.
D. It takes years of hard work to adapt to antique restoration.
30. What does the underlined word “humdrum” most probably mean
A. Boring. B. Different. C. Relaxing. D. Unusual.
31. What’s the purpose of the bicycle-riding scene in the movie
A. To remind the audience of the last Qing emperor.
B. To show the strange hobbies of young antique restorers.
C. To encourage the young to consider a career in antique restoration in the future.
D. To show that the documentary breaks from the old, dull image of antique restorers.
D
Dancing lowers the depression associated with Parkinson’s disease, and the benefits can be seen in multiple ways, a new study shows.
“It was very cool to see dance had a positive effect on the mood circuits in the brain, which we could see in the imaging from MRI brain scans (扫描),” says Joseph DeSouza, author of the study. “These improvements were also reported by the participants via survey. Our study is the first to demonstrate these benefits across these two detection methods.”
The study followed 23 participants with Parkinson’s disease from the Sharing Dance Parkinson’s program at Canada’s National Ballet School, along with family members or caregivers. Participants took weekly dance classes for 8 months, progressing from simple leg and foot work to more complex movements like waltzes and more. The research team focused on the subcallosal cingulate gyrus (SCG), a brain region linked to depression. They measured mood and depression before and after each class using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) (老年抑郁量表) and conducted regular MRI scans.
The researchers found that after each dance class, reported depression rates dropped, and the effect was increasing from class to class, with significant improvements after 8 months. “We showed that SCG’s BOLD (blood oxygen level dependent) signal decreases while dancing, which means the SCG was not functioning as fast as it would if you had depression,” says DeSouza. “Parkinson’s disease is often accompanied by depression long before motor symptoms (症状) appear.”
Dance is thought to have a double benefit, with music activating the brain’s reward centers, and the movement acting on sensory and motor circuits. DeSouza, dancing with participants for 14 years, says that while dancing is not a treatment for Parkinson’s disease by itself, the benefits are clear. “We’re not trying to cure it with dance,” he says. “What we’re trying to do is to have people live a better quality of life. This goes for both the patients, and their families that take care of them.”
32. What do we know about the results of the two detection methods
A. They fall short of expectations.
B. They are more accurate than before.
C. They are distinct from each other.
D. They show consistent conclusions.
33. How did the researchers conduct the study
A. By referring to previous studies. B. By making pre-post comparisons.
C. By employing computer modeling. D. By conducting drug experiments.
34. What did the researchers find about the SCG
A. It is in charge of motor system.
B. It can be measured by the GDS.
C. Dancing slows down its functioning.
D. Depression weakens its BOLD signal.
35. What is the best title of the text
A. Dancing Away Parkinson’s Blues B. Dancing: Multiple Benefits To Be Seen
C. Dancing With Your Mood Circuits D. Dancing: A Journey To Mental Well-being

Catherine was the coolest kid in her class. Whenever she went, she was in the spotlight, with a bunch of kids following her and doing everything she did.
Her classmate, Landy, however, was not in the cool kids’ group. Being the tallest kid in her class, she was laughed at by her classmates, who were always chanting (唱起……歌) “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti (意大利面).”
Catherine didn’t really like it when the kids chanted “Landy, Landy, long as spaghetti”. But she never told them to stop either, and nor did she ever talk to her. She liked being popular.
One weekend, Catherine went over to visit her grandfather. Her grandfather lives on a farm, where he keeps chickens. While helping to feed the chickens, Catherine noticed a special one. Hidden in the corner, it looked smaller than the others and was almost half-bare!
“What’s the matter with it ” She asked her grandfather, with a puzzled frown on her face. Her grandfather told her how chickens could act. “They have a pecking (啄) order,” he explained, wrinkles of concern spreading around his forehead. “If one chicken is different, the others will push it away and keep pecking it. Sometimes they peck it so much that it dies.”
“Oh, what a poor little thing!” Catherine let out a sigh as she picked the frightened chicken up in her arms, whose heart was beating fast in the bony little body. Suddenly, she thought of Landy, the girl being “pecked” by her classmates. “I’m going to take it home and take good care of it,” she said with a determined look.
Back in school, Catherine told the cool kids about the chicken. “It’s looking healthy,” she said proudly. “It’s fatter and its feathers are growing. Even the cat likes it. She carries it around, and...” Everyone was entertained by Catherine’s story of her lovely chicken, laughter spreading around the classroom.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右;

Paragraph 1:
Then Catherine spotted Landy seated alone in a corner.
