Growing up, I was known as “the mute” in my family. It wasn’t that I couldn’t speak; it was that I wouldn’t since I was five. A severe stutter (口吃) had made every word a battlefield. By ten, I had built a simple system of gestures and nods to get by, becoming an expert at avoiding phone calls and pointing at menus to order food. My family had grown accustomed to my silence.
That all changed the summer before my final high school year. My English teacher, Mrs. Chen, announced a required oral presentation for graduation. Each student had to deliver a ten-minute speech in front of the entire grade. Panic seized me. I considered dropping the course or faking illness to escape. But a quieter voice whispered: What if I could
For three months, I prepared secretly. Every night, I stood before the mirror, forcing myself to speak clearly the story of my grandfather’s immigration. I recorded myself and played it back, feeling down at every broken word. I practiced breathing techniques I found online. Slowly, the words began to flow with less resistance. The stutter didn’t disappear, but it lost its power over me. I learned to pause before difficult sounds and let the silence work.
On presentation day, my hands trembled as I walked to the podium. I looked at the faces before me and felt the familiar tightness in my throat. I took a slow breath and began. There were moments of struggle, but I pushed through each block. When I finally finished, the hall erupted in applause.
That moment didn’t cure my stutter, but it changed how I saw myself. I had long believed my voice was a weakness to hide. That day, I discovered that courage is not the absence of fear, but the choice to speak anyway. My voice, even imperfect, was finally heard.
4. What can be learned from the first two paragraphs

B．He finished the speech without any difficulty.
C．He presented repeatedly using various methods.
D．He practiced by reading his grandfather’s diary.
6. How did the author feel about himself after the presentation

In the search for sustainable energy, engineers are turning to an unexpected source: the ocean’s waves. While wind and solar power have seen significant growth, wave energy has remained a largely barely used resource. However, recent technological breakthroughs are bringing this promising but challenging form of renewable energy closer to reality, offering a potential solution to our global energy needs.
One of the main setbacks for wave energy has been the harsh marine environment. Saltwater causes rust, and powerful storms can easily damage delicate equipment. To overcome this, companies have been exploring possible solutions and finally decided to develop new materials and designs. Some experts believe these innovations could also help reduce the overall cost of the devices and attract more investment. For instance, some power devices are made of plastic mixtures that can stay in saltwater for years without damage. Others feature systems that allow them to sink below the surface during extreme weather, avoiding the most violent waves.
Another significant challenge is efficiency. The movement of waves is irregular and complex, making it difficult for machinery to capture energy consistently. Early devices often broke or were too inefficient to be commercially viable. Now, new designs are proving much more reliable. They use water movement to drive generators, and they have fewer moving parts. This means lower maintenance costs and a longer lifespan.
The potential benefit is enormous. Wave energy is far more predictable than wind or solar, as waves can be forecast days in advance. One study suggests that the energy potential of waves along the U.S. coasts alone could supply a significant portion of the nation’s electricity. With a global push to reduce carbon emissions, governments and private investors are pouring more funding into wave energy research, accelerating its development and bringing a cleaner, more stable energy future into view.
8. What is the current state of wave energy
A．It has been widely used in some coastal countries.
B．It has become a major electricity source in coastal regions.
C．It remains mostly undeveloped despite its enormous potential.
D．It faces fewer technical difficulties than wind and solar energy.
9. Why are the new materials and designs developed
A．To reduce the overall cost of the devices.
B．To attract more investment from the private companies.
C．To allow the devices to sink below the surface during storms.
D．To enable the equipment to survive the tough ocean conditions.
10. What does the underlined word “viable” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Safe for the environment.
B．Popular among consumers.
C．Simple enough to maintain.
D．Capable of generating profit.
11. What can be inferred about the future development of wave energy
A．It will primarily rely on government funding.
B．It will become cleaner and more stable in the future.
C．It will replace traditional energy sources in the near future.
D．It will be more widely used in the U.S. than other countries.
D
A guiding principle of traditional Chinese architecture, shown clearly in structures like the siheyuan, has recently been brought back by architects seeking sustainable alternatives to energy-consuming modern designs. For thousands of years, Chinese architecture has been guided by the principle of “unity of heaven and humanity” — the idea that buildings should exist in harmony with nature rather than control it. Yet whether such ancient wisdom can genuinely address the complexities of contemporary urban challenges remains an open question.
Supporters of traditional techniques point to impressive figures. The new campus of the China Academy of Art (CAA) in Hangzhou, which includes courtyard designs and natural air flow, has cut air-conditioning use by over 40 percent. Such successes, however, are often achieved in less crowded, carefully controlled settings — conditions rarely found in crowded large cities where land is limited and population pressures are great.
However, critics argue that romanticizing traditional architecture risks overlooking its practical limitations. Courtyard designs, effective in temperate regions, perform poorly in extreme climates. Wood and earth, while locally taken, cannot match the structural strength and fire resistance of modern materials. A selective reading of architectural history, they argue, may offer inspiration but not solutions.
Nevertheless, to dismiss traditional knowledge entirely would be equally shortsighted. The deeper value of the “harmony” philosophy may lie not in specific techniques but in its underlying attitude: that building is not an act of control over nature but a dialogue with place. Perhaps the most productive path is neither wholesale adoption nor rejection, but a critical engagement — learning from ancient principles while adapting them to modern realities.
12. What does “unity of heaven and humanity” mean in Chinese architecture
A．It means architecture should control nature.
B．It means architecture should fully harmonize with nature.
C．It means architecture should avoid energy-consuming designs.
D．It means architecture should address modern urban challenges.
13. Why is the CAA new campus mentioned in paragraph 2
A．To show traditional techniques can be highly efficient.
B．To prove traditional techniques work best in small cities.
C．To suggest these techniques are easy to apply in big cities.
D．To indicate traditional techniques come with strict conditions.
14. How is paragraph 3 developed
A．By presenting examples.
B．By making comparisons.
C．By quoting historical records.
D．By listing causes and effects.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards the “harmony” philosophy
A．Skeptical. B．Appreciative. C．Confused. D．Objective.

Overcoming “Impostor Syndrome”
Have you ever felt like a liar, even when you’ve achieved something significant Do you worry that others will eventually discover you don’t actually deserve your success If so, you may be experiencing what psychologists call “impostor syndrome” — a psychological pattern in which individuals doubt their accomplishments and have a persistent, internalized fear of being exposed as a “liar”. ____16____
“Impostor syndrome” often strikes high-achieving individuals. Interestingly, those who are most competent are frequently the most affected. Research suggests that approximately 70% of people will experience these feelings at some point in their lives. ____17____ They owe their success to luck, timing, or the kindness of others rather than to their own ability.
____18____ Recognizing that you are not alone in experiencing self-doubt can be incredibly helpful. Realizing that even highly accomplished individuals struggle with similar feelings helps to remove the shame associated with it. Sharing your feelings with trusted friends or teachers can also provide advice and reassurance.
Another powerful tool is to change your view on failure and mistakes. Perfectionists often suffer most from “imposter syndrome” because they view any mistake as evidence of their weakness. ____19____ Many breakthroughs in science and art come after numerous unsuccessful attempts.
Finally, it’s crucial to stop comparing your internal struggles with others’ external presentations. ____20____ Everyone presents a polished version of themselves. By focusing on your own journey rather than measuring yourself against others’ highlight posts, you can begin to appreciate your own authentic achievements.
A．The fear may cause worry if not addressed.
B．They often feel they don’t deserve success.
C．This feeling is more common than we think.
D．A key step is to accept these feelings as normal.
E．Comparing yourself to others can make it worse.
F．Social media often shows only the best side of life.
G．However, seeing mistakes as stepping stones helps.

The journal was not a record of grand achievements, as I had ____23____, but rather a collection of ordinary moments — the first robin of spring, the smell of freshly baked bread, my grandmother’s laughter.

六、书面表达
57. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段话，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My brother Leo and I had totally different personalities. Leo was hard-working and practical. He focused all his energy on his studies and planned carefully for his future college life. However, I was a casual girl who loved art and music more than schoolwork. Our huge differences often kept us distant from each other.
Leo had a special treasure — a red bicycle that he had repaired by himself. He loved it so much that he never allowed me to touch it, even a little. I always thought he was too strict and cared too much about useless things.
One Saturday afternoon, Leo went to the library to prepare for his coming exams, leaving me alone at home. Soon some of my friends came to visit me. When they saw the nice bicycle in the garage, they teased me, saying that I dared not ride it. Eager to show off, I made a sudden decision to ride it around our neighborhood.
At first, I felt relaxed and happy riding the bike. But when I turned a sharp corner, I accidentally rode on some sand on the road. The bike slipped suddenly. I fell off heavily and the bike hit the ground hard.
I stood up in a great panic and checked the bike. There was a long obvious scratch on the red frame, and the handlebar was bent out of shape. I knew how important the bike was to Leo. He would surely be angry and disappointed at me. I tried my best to fix the scratch with paint and tools in a hurry, but my silly efforts only made it worse.
Just then, the front door opened. Leo came back home earlier than expected. He walked straight into the garage. Seeing his broken beloved bike, he stared at me in shock and sadness. “What have you done ” he asked in a low and upset voice.
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。
Standing there, I felt the weight of his silence pressing down on me.

六、读后续写范文
Standing there, I felt the weight of his silence pressing down on me. My eyes were filled with tears and I apologized sincerely, explaining that I rode the bike just to show off in front of friends and ruined it carelessly. I admitted my foolish repair only made the bike worse and promised to save pocket money to buy new parts for him. I prepared for his anger and blame, feeling extremely guilty.
To my surprise, he let out a long breath and picked up a cloth from the workbench. He wiped the dirt off the bike gently and told me he understood my young vanity. Instead of scolding me, he taught me how to fix the scratch and bent handlebar step by step. We worked together the whole afternoon and repaired the bike well. Since then, he allowed me to ride the bike and our relationship became much closer.
