一、阅读理解
A
Understanding China requires exploring its ancient capitals, the lifeblood of its civilization. These cities, where empires rose and fell and cultures intertwined, shaped China’s enduring identity.
Xi’an: The Eternal Capital
Xi’an, historically known as Chang’an, served as the capital for thirteen dynasties, including the Qin, Western Han, and Tang. As the eastern terminus of the Silk Road, Xi’an blossomed into one of the world’s first truly metropolitan cities. It safeguards the world-renowned Terracotta Army and the well-preserved Ming Dynasty city wall, earning Xi’an the title of a “Living History Museum.”
Luoyang: The Sacred Center
Luoyang, also hosting thirteen dynasties, is revered as the spiritual heartland of Chinese civilization. It flourished as the capital during the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Northern Wei Dynasty, and notably under Empress Wu Zetian, China’s only female emperor. Its profound spiritual significance is carved into the Longmen Grottoes, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The White Horse Temple, traditionally recognized as China’s first Buddhist temple, marks the arrival of Buddhism into Chinese culture.
Nanjing: The Southern Capital of Resilience
Nanjing, meaning “Southern Capital,” served as the seat of power for ten dynasties, including the early Ming and the Republic of China. The city’s history is a story of glory, destruction, and rebirth, showing the repeating patterns of Chinese history. Landmarks like the grand Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, the colossal Ming Dynasty city wall, and the solemn memorials to its tragic past collectively narrate the story of this resilient “City of Memories.”

August Lamm, a writer, artist and former art influencer, hasn’t owned a smartphone since 2022. Her journey to give up the smartphone began shortly after graduating from college, when she started posting pictures of her art online and got hundreds of thousands of followers. “Everything that I shared online — all these pictures and words about my love life, my vacations or my house — was feeding into my business, helping to generate sales,” Lamm said. Finally, she said, the pressure to keep that up became too much, and she reached a breaking point.
At first, Lamm tried to put her phone in a drawer and avoid using it for a whole day, which, she said, made life inconvenient for everyone around her. It took her about a year to quit her smartphone and fully devote herself to the dumbphone lifestyle, which offers only basic calling and texting.
Still, there are certain things that may feel impossible to deal with without smartphones, since they are more than just texting and surfing social media. In 2025, these smartphones function as virtual wallets, health trackers, identification tools, and even personal assistants. However, Lamm has found solutions to the challenges. “You work out these problems by asking,” Lamm said, “like asking the parking company if they can offer you an alternative when you can’t use parking meter (停车收费表), and a lot of the time they will.”
When it comes to her career, Lamm says she earns more money now than she ever did as an influencer online. That’s because now she only does the actual work, rather than spending hours and hours crafting posts. “When I stopped posting, I found out income sources that existed before social media: agencies, magazines, galleries, publishers,” she said. “If I hadn’t spent thousands of hours trying to build a huge following, I could have spent that time going to galleries, taking classes, meeting people, making connections, organizing events, taking part in exhibitions and otherwise making a name for myself in the real world. I could have improved more quickly if I had not placed online popularity above creative development.”
4. What made August Lamm decide to give up the smartphone
A．Her addiction to the smartphone.
B．The stress from social networking.
C．Her pressure from the busy college life.
D．Her concern over the downsides of technology.
5. Why does the author mention the situations in 2025 in paragraph 3
A．To explain why smartphones are developing very fast.
B．To advise people to depend less on modern technology.
C．To show the wide use of virtual wallets and health trackers.
D．To stress the important roles smartphones play in daily life.
6. How can we best describe August Lamm according to the text
A．Confident and demanding.
B．Creative and ambitious.
C．Determined and adaptable.
D．Generous and efficient.
7. What message does August Lamm want to express in the last paragraph
A．Social media do more harm than good.
B．Dumbphones are making a comeback.
C．Use smartphones only when necessary.
D．One can be less dependent on social media.
C
Spring is an exciting time in the southern Appalachian Mountains. Temperatures are rising, wildflowers are blooming (绽放), and—for many reasons—wildlife is on the move. But humans are also on the go, and roadkill is a reality here, as in many places across the world. Roadkill has reached a tipping point in North Carolina and Tennessee, where some 1,900 black bears now move back and forth across the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, looking for mates and food. To do so, they often face difficult decisions: where, when and how to cross Interstate 40 in Pigeon River Gorge.
“Perhaps the single most important thing drivers can do to help wildlife, no matter where they are, is to notice the speed limit,” says Ben Prater, Southeast program director for Defenders of Wildlife. “That’s because driving at slower speeds gives you more time to brake (刹车) safely if an animal runs out into the road in front of you. It’s a very simple solution that can keep wildlife and people safe.”
Tim Gestwicki, CEO of North Carolina Wildlife Federation says, “Spring is a time when all kinds of wildlife are moving along roads and can rush out unexpectedly. Before you know it, an animal can be right in front of your car. It’s a time to be watchful and wary.”
Perhaps one of the most important things we all can do for wildlife is to share their difficulties and educate others about how best to protect them. “National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) is working with middle school students in Tennessee and North Carolina to teach them how to avoid roadkill,” says Jeff Hunter, senior program manager for NPCA. “These young are our future drivers, leaders, highway engineers, wildlife scientists, park managers, and writers who will need to protect America’s national parks and the wildlife both inside and outside parks.”
8. What can we learn from the first paragraph
A．Spring wildflowers are hard to find in Pigeon River Gorge.
B．Roadkill is a serious problem in North Carolina and Tennessee in spring.
C．The temperature this spring is extremely high in the Appalachian Mountains.
D．Black bears are very short of food in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
9. What is Ben Prater’s suggestion for drivers
A．Driving on the highway.
B．Practicing braking safely.
C．Lowering the driving speed.
D．Keeping the car in good condition.
10. What does the underlined word “wary” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Patient.
B．Active.
C．Strict.
D．Careful.
11. How does NPCA help to protect wildlife
A．By training drivers and highway engineers.
B．By sharing animal health information.
C．By supporting more national parks.
D．By educating local students.
D
People are taking their health into their own hands it seems, as nearly half of UK adults (48%) have turned to online health information to self-diagnose (自我诊断) in the past year, with 18% of 16-24-year-olds doing so at least four times, according to an AXA survey of 4,000 people. The trend reflects growing reliance (依赖) on digital resources in social media for health advice.
While common issues like hay fever (27%), sunburn (19%), and colds (34%) dominate self-diagnoses, 32% report self-diagnosing their mental health conditions. Cases of anxiety and ADHD (多动症) are increasingly self-identified through TikTok symptom checklists, though experts warn such methods lack clinical preciseness. One 24-year-old participant shared: “I diagnosed myself with depression after online tests, but my doctor later owed it to vitamin D deficiency.”
So, why are people turning to Dr Google for help Over a third (36%) complained about the difficulties securing timely appointments, while 22% avoided the NHS (英国国家医疗服务) due to fears of long waits. With NHS waiting lists hitting 7.5 million — a record high — Prime Minister Keir Starmer promised in January to end backlogs and make millions more appointments available, providing greater choice and convenience for patients.
As patients increasingly use online research as a first step, AXA’s report stresses the urgent need for reliable digital health systems. Research shows 52% of UK adults encounter conflicting medical advice online, and 1 in 3 struggle to distinguish reliable sources. To deal with this, the report proposes three measures: confirmation of the qualification for healthcare professionals on social media, stricter content grading policies, and automatic early warning for misleading claims — a system already piloted by many platforms for COVID-19 misinformation.
With the healthcare system at a crossroads, bridging the gap between digital convenience and medical accuracy remains critical. As AXA’s health director noted: “Letting patients make their own health decisions shouldn’t mean abandoning them to a sea of misleading information.”
12. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A．Most of the self-diagnosis involve common diseases.
B．The 24-year-old participant regretted self-diagnosing.
C．Self-diagnosis of mental illnesses are not recommended.
D．TikTok symptom checklists contributed to self-diagnosis.
13. What does AXA’s report suggest about conflicting online advice
A．Qualifying online healthcare professionals.
B．Establishing trustworthy online health system.
C．Banning health-related content on social platforms.
D．Warning healthcare professionals of the misinformation.
14. What can be inferred from the last Paragraph
A．It is urgent to provide accurate and handy online diagnosis.
B．Digital diagnostic systems will replace traditional evaluations.
C．It is vital to offer more financial support for healthcare system.
D．Social media platforms should stop providing healthcare advice.
15. Which is the best title of the passage
A．The Downside of Online Self-diagnosis
B．UK’s Healthcare System Facing Collapse
C．Social Media: A New Way of Medical Treatment
D．Digital Health: Convenience Along with Risks
七选五
Every day, students move through school carrying not just textbooks but a collection of different identities. In one moment, a student may be a responsible class leader. ____16____ Each role demands a different tone, attitude, and level of confidence. Challenges emerge when these identities conflict. However, what many teenagers don’t realize is that the constant switch between these roles shapes much of their emotional experience at school.
____17____ For example, a student who enjoys helping others may feel comfortable acting as a group organizer during projects, yet the same student may feel uncertain when stepping into a role that requires public speaking or taking the lead in a debate. This contrast can be confusing, making students wonder which version of themselves is real.
But teenagers should bear in mind that identity is not a fixed label. ____18____ The ability to shift roles is a skill that grows stronger with practice. Each role presents a different piece of who they are becoming.
Learning to navigate the challenging transitions begins with self-awareness. Students who take time to reflect — asking themselves why a particular role feels easy or difficult — often develop greater emotional resilience (韧性). ____19____ They recognize when to step forward, when to step back, and when to simply observe.
Eventually, students come to understand that they are not defined by a single identity. Instead, they are shaped by all the roles they play. Mastering the art of switching roles is not about performing for others. ____20____
A．Later, she becomes a supportive friend.
B．Indeed, it is more like a flexible framework.
C．They gain clearer insight into their classmates.
D．Some roles come naturally, while others require effort.
E．Shifting roles isn’t necessarily challenging for everyone.
F．Over time, they learn to adjust without losing themselves.

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。
PE class was popular with every student. Betty was no exception. The playground saw her skipping rope at ease. Meanwhile, her classmates were watching her excitedly. The rope rotated (旋转) fast as she jumped. Time being up, the counter showed 300 skips. Betty did her best. Smiling, Betty waved a victory sign to the crowd. Just then, the bell rang, saying PE was over. Betty packed up her skipping rope. She was ready to give her answer to Ms. Blake.
Ms. Blake had asked her whether she would like to do something for the class bulletin board (板报) with the competition upcoming. Mary who was usually in charge of it had asked for sick leave. Betty was shocked that Ms. Blake had chosen her. She answered nervously, insisting that her handwriting was bad. But Ms. Blake encouraged her, saying she believed in her, expected her to do the duty and let her know her decision soon.
Approaching the teachers’ office, Betty felt nervous again. On thinking of her poor handwriting appearing on the bulletin board, she felt her stomach turning. Having decided to say no, Betty quickened her pace and ran across the sports ground.
Betty was about to pass the sandpit (沙坑) when someone nearby drew her attention. It was Jack from a different class. As she knew clearly, Jack had never been good at the long jump, but he was practicing it. Full of curiosity, she ran over to ask what he was doing. Tom explained that no one else had wanted to compete in the long jump event, and if so, their class would score zero in the school sports meet. The moment the headteacher asked if anyone would give it a try, he volunteered immediately. Betty reminded him that he wasn’t excellent in it, but Jack simply said that it wasn’t about being the best, but about trying to compete for the class. Then he went on practicing. It dawned on Betty that what a similar issue they were both faced with!
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。
Betty stood there, watching Jack practicing persistently.

五、读后续写 参考范文
Betty stood there, watching Jack practicing persistently. Time and again he failed to jump far enough, yet he never stopped adjusting his posture and repeating the movement. His words echoed in her mind: it’s not about being the best, but about trying for the whole class. She suddenly felt ashamed of her timidity. Good handwriting didn’t matter much; what mattered was her willingness to take responsibility for the class. She made up her mind to accept the bulletin board task bravely.
Determined, Betty walked into the teachers' office. She told Ms. Blake that she would take charge of the bulletin board without hesitation. She promised to practice writing every night and design beautiful layouts to make the board attractive. Ms. Blake smiled warmly and praised her brave decision. Walking out of the office, Betty felt light and proud. She realized courage meant stepping out of comfort zones and devoting herself to the group.
