I believe dancing is in my nature, driven by my heartbeat, blood pulse, and the music in my mind. So I dance daily. The seldom-used dining room of my house has become my ballroom, with a hardwood floor, a stereo, and a disco ball. I have some music ready: waltz, swing, country, rock-and-roll, and tango (探戈舞曲). Each morning, I turn on the music, and it’s dance time! As a quiet woman, I dance alone, considering it a form of healthy movement and moving meditation.
Tango is my recent enthusiasm. It’s complex and difficult, so I take three lessons a week and go out to dance three nights a week. I’m even planning a three-month trip to Buenos Aires to immerse (沉浸) myself in tango culture.
The first time I went tango dancing, I was too intimidated to get on the floor. I remembered a similar experience at a village wedding on the Greek island of Crete, where I stayed on the sidelines because the fancy footwork confused me.
Moments later, an older woman, reading my mind, sat beside me and said, “If you join the dancing, you will feel foolish. If you do not, you will also feel foolish. So, why not dance ” She added that if I didn’t dance, they would know I was a fool, but if I tried, they would think well of me. Her words inspired me to take up the challenge of tango.
A friend viewed my passion for tango as an ambitious pursuit, saying, “Tango At your age You must be out of your mind!” But I see it as a deeply considered decision. My passion for tango hides my fear of aging and boredom. I seek the thrill of starting something new that challenges my mind, body, and spirit. My goal is to dance as long as I can and then age contentedly, knowing I’ve lived fully. So, when people question my tango at my age, I say, “No, I haven’t lost my mind. I’m just living.”
24. What does the underlined word “intimidated” in paragraph 3 mean

A．Tango lets her live life fully.
B．Dancing makes her younger.
C．Aging should be faced actively.
D．New challenges bring true happiness.
27. What can be the best title for the text
A．My Journey to Buenos Aires.
B．Dancing Beyond Age Limits.
C．Challenges of Learning Tango.
D．Overcoming Fear Through Tango.

Gathering ingredients for my favorite sandwich takes time. Certainly more than 10 seconds — the time my fridge allows me to quietly search inside. After those 10 seconds, a series of ear-piercing beeps begin — an alarm to remind forgetful humans to close its doors. My suspicion is that the alarm, which cannot be neutralized, was designed to stop my late-night search in the fridge — my wife has long warned me that midnight snacking is bad for my waistline.
The frightened fridge is just one example of the creations by engineer-designers who are convinced that seniors like me can’t survive without beeping reminders. My car beeps constantly, particularly when I get out. There is simply no way to stop it. At first, I thought the car was just too sad to see me go.
It is not just the fridge and the car. Once I started paying attention, I realized our environment is filled with reminder noises. The stove (炉灶) sings too — leave a burner on and it performs its own little concert. As for my phone, even after turning off every notification I can find, calendar reminders still get through.
So I went online looking for a solution — and found a video of an equally frustrated man taking apart the beeper on the exact same fridge model. I can handle the fix. But now the question is: Do I really want to What if I leave the fridge door partly open and ruin a costly roast What if I miss the notification that reminds me of an appointment I may forget The consequences of an unbeeped life may be too serious to risk.
Finally, tool in hand, I stand before the fridge. If there were a silence option, I might leave it alone. But there isn’t — and I’ve had enough. I’ll remove the noise-maker and put a sticky note on the door instead, reminding me to close it. The reward of a successful late-night search for a delicious sandwich is definitely worth it.
28. What does the underlined word “neutralized” in paragraph 1 mean
A．Used. B．Heard. C．Disabled. D．Repaired.
29. The stove and phone are mentioned to illustrate that ________.
A．elderly people have a failing memory
B．modern machines are poorly designed
C．technology changes seniors’ living habits
D．beeping alarms are unavoidable in daily life
30. What can be inferred about the author from paragraph 4
A．He fails to find a way to stop the noise.
B．He considers the online video unhelpful.
C．He worries about life without reminders.
D．He is unable to fix the fridge by himself.
31. What does the author finally decide to do about the fridge
A．Buy a much quieter fridge.
B．Tolerate the disturbing noise.
C．Avoid late-night searches in it.
D．Replace the alarm with a note.
D
What if you could meet most of your daily needs-shopping, work, education, healthcare-within a 15-minute walk or bike ride from your home This is the exciting vision of the “15-minute city”, an urban planning concept that gained global attention years ago. However, putting it into practice has sparked unexpected and fierce opposition.
The concept was popularized by Mayor Anne Hidalgo of Paris and based on the research of French scholar Carlos Moreno. It suggests a move from city planning centered mainly on cars to one focused on “chronic-urbanism”. The goal is to return urban space to people, with more parks and streets for walking. Advocates argue that this model addresses multiple crises all at the same time: climate change, social isolation, and public health.
Despite its apparent benefits, opponents have misrepresented the idea online, framing it as a secret government plan to control people’s free movement. While these claims are baseless, they have gained support, influencing public opinion and making it harder for cities like Oxford and Melbourne to carry out the concept.
The real issue, however, goes deeper than misinformation. It points to a fundamental problem in urban innovation: the difficulty of imagining a life less dependent on the private car. For decades, the car has symbolized personal freedom and status. Any policy that seems to reduce car use, even if it aims to enhance overall quality of life, can make people feel emotionally upset. This reflects what transport experts call “car dependency”, a cultural and deep-rooted habit that is hard to break.
The situation mirrors past urban conflicts. For instance, many people opposed creating walking-only streets in city centers decades ago, but now, such areas are mostly loved and valued. The experts of a recent study on sustainable transition conclude that the battle for the 15-minute city is not just about planning; it’s about messaging. Success depends not only on smart design but also on effectively conveying its vision of a more sustainable and human urban future.
32. What can we learn about “chronic-urbanism” in paragraph 2
A．It gives more space to people.
B．It aims to expand road networks.
C．It focuses on car development.
D．It was created by Carlos Moreno.
33. What do the opponents think of the 15-minute city
A．Traffic-slowing.
B．Money-wasting.
C．Freedom-limiting.
D．Tech-demanding.
34. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A．The challenge of a less car-centered life.
B．The significance of private cars.
C．The public’s reactions to a new policy.
D．The definition of car dependency.
35. What does the experts’ conclusion imply in the last paragraph
A．Public opinions are too hard to change.
B．Sustainable transition is the top priority.
C．Communication matters as much as design.
D．Planning should send an innovative message.
七选五
Socrates, Galileo, Marie Curie, Einstein ... What did these great thinkers have in common They all practiced deliberate doubt and used it as a tool to improve their thinking and generate creative ideas.
36.___ It is about suspending our certainty and letting go of our preconceived (先入为主的) notions in order to explore new ideas and perspectives. When we’re certain of something, we tend to stop looking for alternative explanations or possibilities. 37.___ Doubt can, of course, be unsettling, but it can also result in a greater understanding of a subject and inspire fresh thoughts and insights.
38.___ But it doesn’t mean we should use it all the time. While deliberate doubt can be a valuable tool for generating creative ideas and exploring complex problems, it can also be counterproductive if it is not practiced in the right way.
It’s important to keep in mind that deliberate doubt is not constant doubt. If we’re continuously doubting our own ideas, we’ll be less likely to pursue them and see them through to completion. 39.___ We spend so much time doubting everything and end up not doing anything.
40.___ We can become self-critical and unsure of our abilities, which can undermine our self-esteem. As a result, we may be too afraid to try new things or take risks.
To avoid these traps, it’s important to strike a balance between doubt and certainty, and to use doubt as a tool to stimulate creative thinking and exploration, rather than as a means of undermining ourselves or others.
A．Deliberate doubt can also lead to a lack of confidence.
B．But when we doubt, we’re forced to consider other perspectives.
C．In this case, deliberate doubt can prevent us from making decisions.
D．When practiced all the time, deliberate doubt can lead to a different belief.
E．By turning doubt into a deliberate process, we open ourselves to new possibilities.
F．Deliberate doubt is the practice of actively questioning our beliefs and assumptions.
G．Deliberate doubt can help us to develop a more open-minded approach to the world.

六、书面表达
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。
Every day after school, Lucas and Noah pressed their noses against Mr. Henderson’s shop window. They stared at the red bicycle that stood proudly in the center of the display. For months, they had saved every spare coin, yet the price still seemed far beyond their reach.
When the first snow of winter covered their town, the brothers saw an opportunity. They grabbed their shovels (铲子), determined to turn the snowfall into savings through hard work.
They started in their own neighborhood. But many residents had already cleared their walkways, and those who hadn’t only offered a few coins for short paths. After several tiring hours, they had earned just seven dollars — far less than they hoped.
Refusing to give up, they headed to Maple Street, where the houses were bigger and the driveways deeper in snow. Noah knocked on the door of a beautiful Victorian house. Mrs. Williams answered, looking like she was in a hurry. When Noah asked if she needed her driveway shoveled, she agreed at once. She took a twenty-dollar bill from her purse and placed it into Noah’s hand.
“I have to rush out,” she said with an encouraging smile. “I’ll leave it in your capable hands.”
The boys stared at the bill, amazed. Twenty dollars — more than they had made the entire day! Laughing in disbelief, they set to work with fresh energy. The initial excitement carried them through the first hour of work. But as the afternoon darkened and the temperature dropped, the work became harder. Their hands grew numb (麻木)， their muscles ached, and the long driveway seemed endless.
Halfway through, Lucas threw down his shovel in frustration (沮丧). “Let’s just go. She’ll never know we didn’t finish.”
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。
Noah’s aching hands seemed to agree with his brother’s words.

As they cleared the final shovel of snow, Mrs. Williams’ car returned.

六、第一节书信范文
Dear classmates,
To respond to the campus green campaign and practice eco-friendly lifestyles, our class is to launch a Class Green Initiative. We can start with small daily steps: sorting waste properly, turning off lights and taps in time to save water and electricity, taking good care of the green plants in our classroom and choosing low-carbon ways of travel like walking or cycling as much as possible.
Besides, we hope everyone can record your green stories in English and contribute your works along with related photos to our class English paper’s Green Campus column. Your inspiring experiences will encourage more peers to join us in building a greener campus.
Let’s take action together!
七、第二节读后续写范文
Noah’s aching hands seemed to agree with his brother’s words. For a moment, he stood frozen, torn between exhaustion and responsibility. Walking away meant warmth and rest, yet Mrs. Williams’ trusting smile appeared in his mind, reminding him of the confidence she had placed in them. He held the shovel tightly, bent down, and continued clearing the snow. Lucas watched him quietly and soon joined him without hesitation. Side by side, they worked through the bitter cold. In the fading light, the driveway slowly took shape under their steady effort.
As they cleared the final shovel of snow, Mrs. Williams’ car returned. She looked at the perfectly shoveled driveway with pleasant surprise and expressed genuine appreciation, saying that she had known they would keep their promise. A quiet warmth spread inside the boys. On the way home, Noah touched the twenty-dollar bill in his pocket. Their dream of the red bicycle felt a little closer, yet he realized that what they earned that day was far more valuable than money. The lesson about honesty would stay with them long after the snow melted.
