【答案】Hello, everyone!
In an era dominated by screens, I’ve found physical books offer something invaluable: the space for intense and uninterrupted deep thinking.
Opening a book transports us to a world free from distractions — no ads or endless scrolling, which facilitates profound engagement with brilliant ideas, cultivating critical thinking and creativity. Moreover, unlike movies or videos presenting everything visually, books leave room for interpretation and make it possible for readers to visualize the story in their own way.
Therefore, let’s put our phones down and make a conscious choice to commit ourselves to regularly reading physical books.
Thank you for listening!

This time, I decided to give Dad a present. I named the asteroid “Matt’s Star” to honor him. When I told Dad about it on the phone, he fell silent for a while. Then he said, “Betty, that’s the best gift I’ve ever received.” I explained that the asteroid was small but special, just like the star he gave me years ago. I also told him that whenever he looked up at the sky, he could think of it as a symbol of our love, which would never fade.
Dad said he owed me an apology for that Christmas. “I was so poor then that I couldn’t give you a real present,” he said with a sigh. I told him that Betty’s Planet was the most precious gift because it taught me to find joy in simple things. I added that if there was no that Christmas, I might not have developed a love for astronomy, which led me to discover the asteroid. Dad laughed and said he was proud of me, and from that day on, we often talked about “our stars” on the phone.山东济南市莱芜第二中学2025-2026学年下学期期末考试

When Jack Dawson was just 2-year-old, it became obvious that he dreamed about becoming a paramedic, an emergency caregiver. His grandfather owns a first response company in Staffordshire, England, and Jack would ride along in his ambulances with the flashing blue lights. By age three, he would start “randomly performing CPR on his toy bear, pressing its chest”, said his mother, Danielle. “My husband and I decided to teach him first aid. He loves it.” Jack quickly grasped the act of CPR, understanding the different recovery positions, and learned how to use a defibrillator, a machine that starts the heart beating again after a heart attack.
Then, at age seven, overseen by his father and other trainers, the youngster started to lead workshop sessions of his own for their charity. Tamworth Have A Heart, which aims to make Automated External Defibrillators (AED) publicly accessible and train people to use them confidently. Jack teaches both children and adults how to perform CPR and use defibrillators, while also keeping an eye on his town centre and checking that the public defibrillators’ pads and batteries are up to date and fit for use.
The sessions often draw 20 to 40 people and sometimes Jack gives presentations in front of 100 people. He does step-by-step demonstrations on how to perform CPR, informing people about the dangers — including looking into patients’ airways before pressing.
“He absolutely loves teaching,” Danielle said. “I’ve never seen him so confident before and the fact that he’s helping people to save a life determines him even more. I think people appreciate the information coming from a child, as it makes them think that if a 10-year-old can do it, then they can.”
Under the name “Mini Medic”, Jack has a page on social media posting training nights for those unable to attend. As a result of his community work, the 10-year old is a finalist for Children of Courage Birmingham Awards. Looking forward, Danielle said he was enthusiastic about going to university and being a paramedic.
24. What made Jack interested in becoming a paramedic
A. His family influence. B. His childhood games.
C. His parents’ teaching. D. His like for ambulances.
25. What is the purpose of Tamworth Have A Heart
A. To train children to be caregivers. B. To enhance downtown volunteering.
C. To promote the wide use of a device. D. To make lifesaving devices affordable.
26. What can we infer from Danielle’s words in Paragraph 4
A. Adults tend to learn more from children. B. Children make better first-aid instructors.
C. Jack has too much confidence in teaching. D. Jack’s course inspires adults’ engagement.
27. Which of the following best describes Jack Dawson
A. Cautious and manful. B. Ambitious and funny.
C. Passionate and caring. D. Lonely and dependent.
C
A system of canals (运河) used to direct and catch fish was found in Belize, establishing “continuity” between the Mayans and a predecessor (前一代) as they continued to use them. First believed to have been a Mayan construction, after running numerous radiocarbon dates, researchers from the University of New Hampshire(UNH) made a discovery that these fish-trapping canals were constructed before the powerful Mayan civilization.
The network directed the annual flood waters into a source pool where they could trap thousands of fish, which were able to feed a growing population. It has been estimated that the Mayan population numbered eight million. “It seems likely that the canals allowed for annual fish harvests and social meetings, which would have encouraged people to return to this area year after year and stay for longer periods of time,” said Marieka Brouwer Burg, professor at the University of Vermont.
In the largest inland wetland in Belize, Central America, New Hampshire researchers conducted tests on a large-scale pre-Columbian fish-trapping facility. At first, they never expected that anyone but the Mayans could have constructed such a complex means of catching fish. Yet, the presence of the canals extended over a thousand years in the past, before the Mayans began to appear, which “surprised” researchers due to its massive size.
“In general, we tend to regard agricultural production as the engine of civilization, but this study tells us that it wasn't just agriculture,” according to Eleanor Harrison-Buck, director of the Belize River East Archaeology project. Collecting samples along the walls, the researchers investigated carbon levels to determine “environmental changes over time”. With no evidence of crop production in sight, they concluded that these channels served as large-scale fish-trapping facilities.
“Such intensive investments in fishery show ancient fishers knew how to protect their resources and use them in a way that could sustain these habitats,” Samantha, professor of geography at Texas State University, explained. “Knowing how to use canal resources responsibly is essential for the continued availability of these resources both in the past and today.”
28. What did the researchers from the UNH find
A. A fish-trapping skill is kept till today.
B. Mayan civilization holds great mysteries.
C. A canal system predates Mayan civilization.
D. Canal systems are crucial to ancient people.
29. What do we know about the canal network
A. It linked Maya to the outside. B. It assisted in Mayan development.
C. It caused frequent floods in Belize. D. It promoted the Mayans’ fishing trade.
30. Which of the following may Samantha agree with
A. Sustainable development is a shared topic.
B. Fishery used to be the main economic source.
C. Ancient fishers faced special survival pressure.
D. Ancient Mayans relied heavily on the environment.
31. What can be a suitable title of the text
A. The Rise and Fall of the Mayan Civilization
B. Eco-Friendly Fishing Defined Ancient Belize
C. Ancient Fishing Activities Boost Maya Populations
D. Fish-Trapping Facility Redefines Its Maya Origin
D
The idea of herd mentality, a psychological phenomenon in which people accept behaviours or ideas just because a large number of other people are doing the same, is at the heart of trend-following. The history of human development is firmly rooted in this tendency. Following the herd was frequently necessary for existence in early human cultures; going it alone may be deadly.
Cialdini, an American social psychologist created the phrase “social proof” to describe how people nowadays try to take after others’ behaviour in an effort to reflect “correct” behaviour. Nowadays, with the help of social media, we can be shaped into different versions of ourselves. Every trend turns into a chance for us to investigate or strengthen our identity. For example, the Ghibli trend — the popular style directed by the works of Studio Ghibli — encourages users to create films, filled with moody soundtracks, low-key lighting, and so on. This appeals to a particular artistic and affective mood: calm, longing, and frequently involved in a sense of simplicity.
In addition, there is a neuro-chemical (神经化学的) element. When a trend receives likes, shares, or encouraging remarks, the dopamine (多巴胺) reward mechanism in the brain promotes the behaviour. By following trends: one might gain more recognition, approval, and, in certain situations, popularity.
Trends also give rise to the fear of missing out. Being excluded from a cultural inside joke can be the same of not taking part. This appeals to a basic human drive — the psychological need for belonging. Imagine going through social media feeds where everyone posts a mix of old memories, pretty pictures, and quick likes. Not participating could seem like a social mistake. People participate because they fear being left out, not necessarily because they are interested.
On a more positive note, trends can also serve as a means of group coping. People used sourdough bread baking, viral dances, and funny challenges as coping mechanisms during the global health crisis. People felt more linked as a result of these group behaviours. With its dreamlike imagery and understated narrative, the Ghibli trend may represent a deeper need for simplicity and peace in the wake of the crisis. Thus, following trends is more than just copying; it’s creating meaning.
32. What is the origin of humans’ trend following
A. The drive of interest. B. The need of survival. C. The fear of loneliness. D. The pursuit of identity.
33. What can we learn about the Ghibli trend
A. I (popularizes Studio Ghibli’s movies. B. It uses bright visuals and happy music.
C. It originates from social media challenges. D. It reflects a desire for simplicity and peace.
34. What’s the structure of the text
A. B. C. D.
35. By writing the text, the author aims to ______.
A. interpret reasons behind trend-following B. persuade readers to stop following trends
C. inspire readers to create their own trends D. prove the negative side of herd mentality

Last year, my family went on a grand adventure to see the Grand Canyon. After miles of travel, hours of planning, and ____41____ one of the greatest sights on Earth, I asked my kids about their favorite ____42____ of the trip.

We often try to create magical and unforgettable ____45____ for someone we love, like wonderful vacations and perfect birthdays, and ____46____ making every milestone (重大阶段) feel significant.

Psychologists call this the “peak-end rule”, suggesting that people don’t remember an event by ____48____ all the moments, but by recalling the peak moments and the way they ended.

67. 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。
My Dad, Matt, lost his job and when Christmas came, we had no money at all. On Christmas Eve, Dad took me into our yard. I was five that year and I sat next to Dad and we looked up at the sky, “Pick out your favorite star,” Dad said. He told me I could have one star for keeps. He said it was my Christmas present.
“You can’t give me a star! No one owns the stars.” “That’s right, Betty. No one else owns them. You just have to claim it before anyone else does.”
I looked up to the stars and tried to figure out which was the best one. I could see hundreds, maybe thousands or even millions, hanging in the clear sky. There was one in particular, in the west above the mountains but low in the sky, which shone more brightly than all the rest. I pointed and claimed it. Dad smiled, telling me I chose Venus. It looked bigger and brighter because it was much closer than other stars. It reflected the light of the sun. “I like it anyway,” I said. “Alright,” Dad agreed. “It’s Christmas. You can have a planet if you want.”
From then on, Venus got a new name in our family, Betty’s Planet. After Christmas, Dad found another job in the mine and he worked like mad. Gradually, we could make ends meet and there were presents under the Christmas tree and cakes when it was my birthday. But deep down, no present could match Betty’s Planet.
Years later, I entered university, majoring in engineering, but I stuck to my passion for astronomy in my spare time. In my junior year, I became the first undergraduate ever to discover an asteroid (小行星) when examining images of thousands of asteroids on my computer, due to which I was given the right to name this asteroid according to the tradition of International Astronomical Union.
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。
This time, I decided to give Dad a present.

Dad said he owed me an apology for that Christmas.
