It is often said that the high school period is one of the most important stages that an individual will experience, and is often seen as a critical and life-shaping time. During this period, people often begin to discover what is meaningful to them and how they plan to continue living their lives. Volunteering at St. Clare’s Hospital has helped me form a positive experience during my high school years.
When I first began volunteering, I was very nervous about meeting new people and being pushed outside of my comfort zone. At the beginning of my volunteering experience, I was rather shy and not very outgoing. Fortunately, as time went by, I discovered how to introduce myself to new volunteers, to go out of my way to make patients feel welcome, and to extend the hand of friendship to others. I learned to respect diversity, which turned out to be particularly helpful in the real world.
My volunteering experience at the hospital has led me to believe that my love and sympathy for the disabled can brighten up the day of those lonely patients. There is another valuable lesson I have learned from the volunteer program: The significance of “service” involves making a difference in the lives of others and contributing to the harmony of the community. Now I feel content each time I finish my shift. This positive feeling has motivated me to continue carrying on this worthwhile cause, and has become something that I view as having irreplaceable importance to my life.
It’s a great pity that many teenagers in my generation have not had experiences similar to mine and therefore missed out on some of the important lessons that can be learned in life. Knowing that I made a positive impact on someone is an emotionally uplifting experience that can never be matched by money or fame. And, to the best of my ability, I will follow this path of service throughout my life.
4. What does the author think of the high school period
A．It brings no significance to life.
B．It is often criticized by people.
C．It deserves to be taken seriously.
D．It is full of unplanned experiences.
5. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A．Ways to help and respect patients.
B．The importance of diversity in the world.
C．Friendship between volunteers and patients.
D．The author’s changes brought about by volunteering.
6. What does the author consider the value of service
A．It gains volunteers great fame and money.
B．It brings positive changes to people around.
C．It merely helps disabled patients in hospital.
D．It makes patients depend on volunteers much.
7. What is the purpose of the text
A．To call on the young to volunteer.
B．To explain the benefits of volunteering.
C．To introduce suitable community work.
D．To share the author’s volunteering experience.
C
Australia Day, on 26 January, is in memory of the day in 1788 when Captain Arthur Phillip, commander of the First Fleet of 11 British ships, arrived at Sydney Cove to mark the birth of the colony (殖民). Every year, many in this nation of 24 million people gather on beaches and around barbeques to celebrate. From boat competitions, camel races, to outdoor concerts, Australians mark a public holiday more popularly treated as a late summer festival than the serious national day its founders intended it to be — a unifying celebration of the good fortune of being Australian and the values that unite the nation: freedom, independence, a fair go, mateship.
However, not all Australians feel the same about the day. Recently there has been much controversy over the correctness of celebrating on this date. Aboriginal, native Australians, in particular, have long referred to this date as “Invasion (入侵) Day” or “National Day of Mourning” in protest of the arrival of the British peoples. They mourn their ancestors who suffered and died during colonization. There has even been a growing push to change the date of the national celebration, a move popular with younger Australians but less so with older generations.
In response to the protests, the Australian government has recognized the traditional owners of the lands on which Australia Day activities take place, in the hope that Australians from all backgrounds come together to celebrate Australia as a multicultural society. “Our desire is that Australia Day is a time for inclusion, as well as an opportunity for greater understanding,” one officer from The Australian Department of Communications and the Arts said.
8. What is the original purpose of Australia Day
A．To observe a late summer festival.
B．To honor the arrival of the British.
C．To mourn natives hurt by colonization.
D．To celebrate national identity and values.
9. What does the underlined word “controversy” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Debate. B．Defence. C．Faith. D．Puzzle.
10. What did the British probably do to the natives after their arrival
A．They protested Aboriginal land rights.
B．They mourned the suffering of natives.
C．They caused deaths and suffering to natives.
D．They recognized Aboriginals’ independence.
11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．Calls to change date have been settled.
B．Australia Day needs understanding and respect.
C．More Australia Day activities will be organized.
D．The date of Australia Day will soon be changed.
D
People often complain that plastics are too durable. Water bottles, shopping bags, and other trash litter the planet, because plastics are everywhere and don’t break down easily. But some plastic materials change over time. They crack and melt into sludge (烂泥), all of which creates huge headaches for institutions, such as museums, trying to preserve culturally important objects.
Until recently, museums only have to worry about traditional materials. “We know how to approach the restoration of paintings, books, and materials like wood, metals, and glass,” says Anna Laganà, a research specialist at the Getty Conservation Institute. “But for plastics, our knowledge is still limited.” Tonkin, now a doctoral researcher in fashion conservation at Nottingham Trent University, agrees. “We’re now trying to figure out how to conserve plastics,” she says.
Nearly every museum in the world has plastic items, and even well-cared-for objects can fall apart alarmingly quickly. Museums are doing everything they can to save culturally important items from similar fates. But preservation of plastics will likely get harder. Old objects continue to decline. Worse, biodegradable plastics, designed to fall apart easily, are increasingly common.
We now live in an age of plastic, and what we decide to collect today, and what we decide to preserve will have a strong impact on how in the future we’ll be seen. Future archaeologists looking at what’s left from the 21st century will probably find lots of poisonous waste, along with plenty of plastic trash. But if museum preservation efforts succeed, maybe those scholars will also see that plastic items today can be culturally meaningful — and even cherished.
12. What are two totally different features of plastics mentioned in Paragraph 1
A．Popular but rarely recycled.
B．Easy to make but hard to clean.
C．Harmless to nature but harmful to humans.
D．Some long-lasting but others easy-to-degrade.
13. What can we infer from Anna Laganà and Tonkin’s words
A．Traditional restoration saves plastic.
B．Fashion plastic conservation is solved.
C．Museums lack plastic preservation skills.
D．Getty Institution leads plastic preservation study.
14. What is the main role of Paragraph 3
A．Explain why plastic preservation is harder.
B．List ways museums protect plastic cultural objects.
C．Show plastic items are common in global museums.
D．Stress the growing challenges of plastic preservation.
15. Where can this passage be found
A．A science report.
B．A fashion magazine.
C．A travel brochure.
D．A science fiction book.
E 七选五
According to the IIE Open Doors Report, only 8% of international undergraduates used U.S. university scholarships as their main funding source, with universities covering most or all tuition and living costs. Many others got smaller performance-based scholarships to offset (抵消) some expenses. Though these successful applicants have diverse backgrounds, they share similar qualities that raise their chances for admissions and scholarships. Below are key strategies to improve your odds of getting such opportunities.
Grades and Test Scores
Most universities use high school grades and ACT/SAT scores to predict college performance. Even if these grades and test scores are optional for admission, they are usually required for scholarship consideration. ____16
High School Curriculum
____17 Scholarship programs also consider your academic performance in the context of your high school challenges. Such advanced coursework and extracurricular activities provide solid evidence that you are ready for college beyond regular curriculum. A student with strong grades in challenging classes is more attractive than one with similar scores in easier courses.
Recommendation Letters
Choose counselors and teachers who know you best to write your recommendation letter. A good letter should address your unique qualities, emphasize challenges you overcame, and reference your achievements mentioned in the application. ____18 Scholarship committees rely on these letters to check your application information.
Personal Statements and Interviews
____19 Use your personal statement to explain your background, interests, and future goals related to the institution’s mission. Research the college thoroughly and practice expressing your ideas in both writing and interview formats.
Early Application and Interest
Waiting until the final deadline won’t help you win scholarships. Colleges often give scholarship preference to early applicants as they show more interest and likelihood to enroll. Reaching out to staff and faculty early can also bring advantages, as committees may note the quality of these interactions for future reference and consideration. ____20
A．Seize preferred deadlines to get noticed.
B．Challenging courses show academic ambition.
C．Volunteer work boosts your application strengths.
D．Selective programs want to ensure you fit their campus environment.
E．Therefore, top 25% class grades can make it easier to get scholarships.
F．Achieving competitive standardized test scores may be optional sometimes.
G．It will showcase your strengths in detail and make your application impressive.

That afternoon, I didn’t just build a birdhouse. I learned a lesson in patience and focus. I began to understand that my grandfather’s workshop wasn’t outdated; it was a ____31 from the hurried world. In our fast-paced lives, his craft is a reminder that some of the most valuable things cannot be ____32. True satisfaction comes not from consuming, but from ____33. I now visit his workshop every weekend, not out of duty, but because I’ve learned to ____34 the quiet joy of making. It’s a connection — not just to wood and tools, but to a deeper part of myself that I never knew ____35.

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。
Andy stared at the white envelope on his desk. The Student Affairs Office logo in the corner made his stomach sink. He opened it slowly.
Health and Safety Warning.
Fine(罚款): $300.
Three hundred dollars — his entire summer earnings, meant for books and a winter coat. Now gone, all because of a messy room!
Andy was a quiet international student who kept his side of the dorm perfectly organized. For him, neatness brought calm and control. His roommate, Eric, was the opposite: he lived in what could only be described as a happy mess. Clothes piled on his chair, empty snack bags collected on the floor, and the shared waste bin always overflowed. But Eric was kind — he’d shown Andy around campus, helped with his homework, and lifted his spirits when he was homesick.
Andy was grateful. He never complained. He didn’t want to start a fight. So, he’d sigh and quietly take out the garbage, thinking it was a small price for such a good friend. But he’d been home for two weeks — and returned to this. Now. holding the letter, he felt it was a big mistake. “I’ve been cleaning up his mess, and I get fined too ” he thought in frustration. This wasn’t fair. His usual “avoid trouble” plan had failed.
Just then, the door flew open. “Andy! You won’t believe the game today...” Eric’s energetic entry stopped short. “Whoa. You look pale as a sheet. What’s wrong ”
Without a word, Andy held out the warning letter. Eric took it, his smile fading as he read. “Oh, no. A fine Three hundred I’m... I’m really sorry.” He looked from the letter to the pile of pizza boxes in the corner, which he’d meant to throw out for days, then to Andy’s spotless desk. Real guilt washed over his face. “I’ve been completely careless about this. I’m sorry Andy...”
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。
“It’s okay,” Andy said quietly, “but let’s clean it together now.”
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
They both knew that one-time cleaning was not enough — they needed rules.

46. A Report On Students’ Staying Up Late
According to the bar chart, most students stay up late for online games and short videos. Some chat with friends late at night, while a few stay up to finish homework.
Staying up harms health badly. For the coming summer vacation, I have some advice. First, set a fixed bedtime. Second, put down electronic devices one hour before sleep. Third, finish daily tasks in daytime to avoid late-night work.
47. 续写范文
“It’s okay,” Andy said quietly, “but let’s clean it together now.”
Eric nodded guiltily. They started clearing rubbish, folding clothes and wiping the floor. Within an hour, the messy dorm turned tidy and fresh. Eric promised he would pay the full $300 fine himself to make up for his carelessness. Andy refused, saying they could split the cost equally as roommates.
They both knew that one-time cleaning was not enough — they needed rules.
They wrote down simple dorm rules together. Each took turns taking out rubbish daily. Everyone must keep their own area clean. If either broke the rules, they would treat the other to a meal. From then on, they lived harmoniously in a neat dorm and learned to respect each other’s living habits.
