If you are thinking of competing with your dog, there is no shortage of options, with over 20, 000 events every year! No matter the breed of your dog, there’s an option for them!
1. Dog Agility (敏捷)
One of the most popular dog sports in the United States, agility is a test of both physical and mental ability. Agility competitions feature an obstacle course that a dog must run in the fastest time possible, guided by their owner. The course has various walkways, jumps, tunnels, A-frames, and more, all of which must be completed in order and as fast as possible.
2. Dog Flyball Competitions
Flyball is a great competition for fast, energetic dogs. The sport is a type of relay race with teams of four dogs, racing down a stretch of jumps and getting back a ball from a “flyball box, “ which is set off by the dog stepping on it, and then returning the ball back to the start, where the next dog is sent off. The team that completes the course in the fastest time wins. It is exciting to watch!
3. Trick Dog
As the name suggests, “trick dog” is a competition in which you teach your dog a short routine (4–6 minutes) of unique tricks that are then assessed by a team of judges. The routine can involve multiple tricks, music, and costumes. Best of all, the competition has been done actually in recent years, and you can compete from the comfort of your own home via video submission.
1. What do we learn about Dog Agility Competition
A．It only tests speed and strength.
B．The dog can choose its own route.
C．The owner and the dog act independently.
D．Concentration and discipline matter.
2. Which quality is valued more in Trick Dog than Flyball competitions
A．Teamwork.
B．Speed.
C．Creativity.
D．Energy.
3. Who is the text mainly written for
A．Dog judges.
B．Dog owners.
C．Dog scientists.
D．Dog video bloggers.

This summer I came face-to-face with three deep-rooted fears: heights, bears, and ageing.
Two friends joined me on a four-day wilderness getaway, and since we were all in our seventies, we decided we’d better go while we still could. Our adventure began with a scary drive up a winding mountain road.
On one hike, I found myself hanging onto a wire on a bridge made of two partly rotten (腐烂的) logs, suspended high above rushing rapids. I would never have attempted it without our guide ahead, mouthing encouraging words. Fixing my eyes on her boots, I inched along the shaky logs. Somehow, I made it across, flooded with a rush of intense excitement and huge relief.
Later, after spotting bear tracks, we were told to make loud noises, which soon became a game once the tension faded.
Until suddenly, time stood still.
We had just crossed a stream when the guide whispered, “There’s a bear.” I looked up in disbelief and saw not one, but two, about ten meters above us— the brown mother in front, her cub behind.
Though scared speechless, I couldn’t help noticing how beautiful they looked in their natural setting. I wondered if it would be my last memory. As they started towards us, we recovered enough to shout and wave our hiking poles. Taken aback, they stopped, and then slowly turned away. Another fear was overcome!
On our final morning, after a quiet, thoughtful walk through the forest, we were asked to bring back a “meaningful” stick, rock, and leaf to share what would “stick” with us, what “rocked,” and what we would “leaf” behind. The bond of friendship would stick with me. Women supporting one another truly rocked. And I hoped to leave some fears behind.
Our guide ended by expressing her admiration, praising not only our fitness but also our positive attitude, and saying she hoped to be like us in another thirty or forty years. Those unexpected words warmed my heart and eased my fear of being “over the hill.” Being valued for what we had accomplished felt like winning an Olympic medal — even if just for participation.
4. How did the author cross the bridge
A．By taking mindful steps.
B．By rushing across it bravely.
C．By using her sense of direction.
D．By having the guide drag her over.
5. Why did the bears leave
A．They were attracted by the natural setting.
B．They were afraid of the noise of the rapids.
C．They were surprised at the group’s actions.
D．They were threatened by the guide’s rocks.
6. Why did the guide ask them for a stick, rock, and leaf
A．To pick up some souvenirs.
B．To reflect on the journey.
C．To symbolize their teamwork.
D．To check their observation skills.
7. What does the underlined phrase “over the hill” in the last paragraph mean
A．Past the peak of youth.
B．Too high to go down.
C．Out of place in society.
D．Beyond physical limits.
C
Much of my wardrobe (衣柜) is similarly ancient. I have clothes bought well over ten years ago for less than the price of a taxi ride — still in good shape, still worn and better loved than ever, a source of pride, not shame. They’re holding up to wear and tear fine so far.
So the news of a study that found the amount a T-shirt costs has“very little” to do with the quality, with one 395 T-shirt tested by the University of Leeds Institute of Textiles and Colour and the environmental group WRAP not lasting as long as a 4 one, made me feel if not proud, then ... OK, a bit proud. “This old thing ” It rings true for me.
I want the personal connection that my old clothes offer, the reminder of past lives I’ve lived, be it through the White Stuff dress that marked my return to some sort of ordinary life after the birth of my second child in 2012 or the pale green Miss Selfridge top I bought on my 38th birthday. This thin chiffon fabric survived nine years. Whenever I’m wearing it to an event I’m nervous about, I think I can make it through the evening.
I’ve handed down the good-as-new Topshop miniskirt I bought in my twenties to my daughter Rosie, who also wears the dress I wore when I met her father in 2007. We share our Sainsbury’s Tu cardigan, which I’m pretty sure cost 10 in the sale. She makes her own cardigans and has a killer eye for charity shop bargains, so I like to think she’s picked up a sense of style from me somewhere.
Such wise habits aren’t new. My dad still wears Marks and Spencer shirts from twenty years ago, and before that, my grandfather repaired his own shoes. Today, we’ve been tricked into spending unnecessarily, even though we can make the most of what we already have.
8. What does the author want to show by mentioning the news
A．She spends much less on clothes.
B．She takes good care of her clothes.
C．Her clothing standard is lowering.
D．Her clothing practice finds support.
9. What effect does the Miss Selfridge top have on the author
A．It reminds her of fun times.
B．It gives her a youthful style.
C．It makes her feel more confident.
D．It brings back memories of her dad.
10. How does the author feel about her daughter’s taste in clothing
A．Proud.
B．Thankful.
C．Confused.
D．Concerned.
11. What is the best title for the text
A．Clothes: Wear and Tear
B．Clothes: Care and Repair
C．Old Clothes, New Life
D．Costly Clothes, Cheap Feel
D
On a hot summer day, a cold drink is a welcome treat. But the cooling technology behind it comes at a cost. Traditional refrigerators use gases called hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which are powerful contributors to global warming. Finding a better way has long been an unsolved problem. Now scientists have developed a new cooling method that may change this.
Researchers from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory released a technique called ionocaloric (离子热) cooling. As the name suggests, it uses ions — charged particles (粒子) — to create a cooling effect. The idea builds on a simple physical process and theoretical modeling: melting takes heat. You’ve seen this on a winter road — salt on ice causes it to melt, even in freezing temperatures. The ionocaloric cycle also uses salt to change a liquid’s phase and cool its surroundings.
Through modeling, the team predicted that moving ions could change a material’s melting point, allowing it to absorb heat on demand. To test this prediction, scientists mixed a salt — sodium iodide — into a liquid, ethylene carbonate (EC, 碳酸乙烯酯). When a small electric current was applied, the salt ions moved, which changed the melting point of the liquid, causing it to melt. As the liquid melted, it absorbed heat, cooling the space like melting ice. The team measured a temperature drop of 25°C with less than one volt — outperforming other similar technologies.
These results point to a bigger story. If the system balances efficiency, cost, and environmental impact. Early tests show promise in all three. One reason is the working liquid, EC, can be made from CO , meaning the system could be carbon-negative — it avoids harm and helps clean up. “The ionocaloric cycle has the potential to meet all these goals,” said Drew Lilley, the leading engineer.
If successful, this technology could help nations meet the goals of the Kigali Amendment, which aims to cut HFC use by 80%. Now, researchers face the next challenge: moving the technology from the lab to the real world. With further development, these systems could one day provide both cooling and heating — without harming the planet.
12. What is the principle of the ionocaloric cooling
A．Expanding gas can produce cooling.
B．Salt lowers the freezing point of water.
C．Melting absorbs heat from surroundings.
D．Electricity can generate heat in materials.
13. What does the underlined phrase “carbon-negative” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean
A．Producing no carbon emissions at all.
B．Removing more carbon than it releases.
C．Reducing carbon emissions by at least 80%.
D．Causing less pollution than traditional technology.
14. What is the author’s attitude towards ionocaloric cooling
A．Negative.
B．Doubtful.
C．Hopeful.
D．Dismissive.
15. Which of the following best describes the structure of the text
A．Problem - Solution - Conclusion
B．Observation - Analysis - Evaluation
C．Introduction - Explanation - Example
D．Background - Comparison - Prospect
七选五
Watching a film critically is a skill worth developing because it helps you learn what makes a film good according to your own tastes. What makes the early films of a director great fun while the later ones a total mess ____16____ In this article, we take a look at how you can watch films more critically.
Give the film your undivided attention at least once. Filmmakers accept that they won’t always have their audience’s complete attention. Characters’ names might be repeated to make sure that you’ve heard them. Significant plot points will be highlighted with incidental music so that you focus. But for the most part, a filmmaker will hope that you’ll be focusing on the film rather than having one eye on your friend’s party photos. ____17____
Consider the themes the film explored. Picking out the themes and assessing how the film treats them is a central point of film criticism. A film’s theme could be something quite unexpected; for instance, it might be an uncomfortable allegory (寓言). ____18____ For instance, The Lion King drew on the plot of Hamlet. Does it breathe new life into the story and take it in an interesting direction Or does it come across as an unimaginative copy of someone else’s better idea
Analyze sound, lighting and production. There are some aspects of a film that you seldom notice unless they go wrong. You may only notice sound if the levels are all wrong and the incidental music drowns out the dialog. Lighting, similarly, you may only notice if everything is so bright that it looks like the action is taking place in a dentist’s office. ____19____ You might consider how the choice of costume brightens a character, or how well-judged lighting decisions make a scene just right.
____20____ It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that there is something that is objectively good or bad. But if you find yourself loving a film that other people seem to dislike, that isn’t necessarily a sign that there’s something wrong with your taste. Try to work out why your opinion might differ from other people’s. It could be that a film’s sense of humor agrees with your own, or that a film reflects your life experiences.
A．Don’t forget that it’s all subjective.
B．Think about why you did or didn’t enjoy it.
C．Try, just once, to watch the film as they intended.
D．Try to train yourself to see these aspects of a film every time.
E．How was the film constructed to provide a new insight into the theme
F．Why do some films greatly excite people while others send people to sleep
G．You can also consider if the film has drawn any inspiration from other source material.
二、完形填空
Watering my plants and watching my grandkids run around my vegetable garden, I was filled with joy. They are my ____21____ to save the earth, I thought.
Six years ago, though, I ____22____ gave the environment a second thought. Busily working in family day care, and a mum of three, I ____23____ products without hesitation. Things like throwing out leftover vegetables without care and shopping for fast fashion were part of my everyday ____24____. Then, one day in January, I ____25____ an article online about palm oil (棕榈油) , and its ____26____ effects on our rainforests and wildlife.
My husband and I had just changed our ____27____ then, becoming grandparents. “We need to ____28____ the world,” I told him. It was not going to be easy, but we ____29____ to start somewhere. So while doing the shopping, I ____30____ every label to make sure the product was ____31____ from palm oil, a leading cause of deforestation. I even started my own vegetable garden and raised chicks. Soon, I became known as Eco Granny!
I love walking through my garden, with my little ____32____ closely following me. It is also ____33____ to teach my grandkids to do what I do. They all offer to help pick vegetables. And ____34____ one lady’s message of “Your post motivated me to make a change”, I more firmly believe if I can go ____35____ and be an inspiration, anyone can!

三、语法填空
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。
When Spanish influencer Helena Cuesta posted a photo of herself wearing a pink, silk jacket with blue jeans, it quickly caught the attention of her followers. The jacket, which ____36____ (feature) a straight-button front, drew much praise, with people curious about the designer.
The ____37____ (style) piece from the Spanish brand Amlul reflects a rising trend in Western fashion, ____38____ Chinese features such as the Mandarin collar, frog buttons and symmetrical (对称的) fronts are appearing in 2026 collections.
Arguably, this most recent version of the trend can be traced back to October, when Adidas Originals launched its “Chinese New Year” jacket — also ____39____ (refer) to as the “Tang” jacket — at last year’s Shanghai Fashion Week. The design draws inspiration from the traditional Tang suit, created by its Shanghai-based design team ____40____ (target) Chinese consumers. ____41____ (initial) sold only in China, the limited edition track top quickly gained popularity on social media platforms such as TikTok and Instagram. The secret of the Tang Jacket’s success is ____42____ it has been reclassified from sportswear to a modern artifact by replacing zippers with traditional frog buttons. It became part of ____43____ viral “Chinese three-piece” on social media, alongside Pop Mart’s Labubu dolls and hit hip-hop track Da Zhan Hong Tu by Lan Lao and AR.
By the 2026 Spring Festival, the highly sought-after jackets, priced ____44____ around 1,000 yuan ($146.48), ____45____ (sell) out across most of China. People from overseas flocked to purchase them, with some online resellers, like StockX, listing them for as high as $488 each.

47. 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。
The sky had gone dark, and Dad wasn’t home yet. He worked all day gardening for private houses. In Georgia, that meant endless work to do. Mom told us to wait for Dad so that we could eat together. Even when Dad didn’t get home until after eight or eight thirty, I didn’t mind.
A few years ago, Dad bought me a backboard and hoop and installed a tall metal pole on the side of the driveway so we could have our own basketball court. It was a court made of dirt and pebbles, but still, it was a fun place.
I would shoot baskets in my spare time. Still, during the summer months, between part-time jobs delivering newspapers, helping Dad cutting lawns, we came pretty close to spending as much of the day as we could on the court. Dad taught me all sorts of shots-hook shots, foul shots, fade-away jumpers, shots from the comer, tried to send the ball through each other’s legs and passed it behind our backs. Each time I felt frustrated and depressed, Dad would invite me to join in a shot game. I didn’t know what it was about holding a ball and sending it into the air and waiting for it to drop into the hoop (圈) , but it felt like magic-All the problems of the world seemed to fade away, and I was the magician.
Dad once told me he felt pretty much the same way while playing basketball. It was one of the things Dad and I shared-the magic in basketball. Lately, though, it didn’t seem like Dad saw a lot of magic in his job. When he came home each night, it was earlier than when he usually arrived home. I could perceive something different.

My Views on the Use of AI Assistants in Learning
Nowadays many classmates rely on AI assistants to finish homework quickly. Though AI offers instant answers, over-dependence stops us from independent thinking and weakens our ability to solve problems.
In my opinion, AI should only be a helper. We can use it to look up difficult points after thinking hard on our own. Besides, we’d better summarize knowledge by ourselves instead of copying AI’s answers blindly.
五、读后续写范文
With the financial crisis spreading, most of his customers lost their jobs. Dad received few gardening orders and worried a lot about our family expenses. He lost his usual smile and seldom talked with me after work. One evening I noticed him staring blankly out of the window, heavy sadness covering his face. I thought of our old basketball court, which used to cheer both of us up. I took the ball and walked over to invite him to play.
I bounce-passed the ball to him, and Dad caught it naturally. We shot baskets as we did before. All his anxiety faded little by little while running and jumping. He told me life has ups and downs, but we should hold on to small joys. That night, Dad regained his bright look. I realized basketball was not only our hobby, but also a warm shelter to beat trouble together.
