At 15, I unwillingly joined a mountain-climbing camp in the Rockies. My fear of heights made me freeze, but my parents insisted it would “build character.” On the first morning, our instructor, Sarah, gathered us at the base. “This climb isn’t about speed or strength,” she said. “It’s about listening — to your body, the mountain, and your teammates.” I rolled my eyes, convinced that reaching the summit was the only measure of success.
My teammate Jake, a confident athlete, dashed ahead, laughing at my cautious pace. “You’re wasting time!” he yelled. By midday, however, his confidence broke. Jake collapsed on a narrow ledge, trembling from thirst and muscle pain. Meanwhile, I adjusted my equipment, sipped water every 15 minutes, and studied the rock formations. When storm clouds darkened the sky, panic struck me. Sarah’s voice echoed in my mind: “Control what you can. Let go of what you can’t.”
The final stretch tested everyone. Jake fell behind, humbled and silent. I focused on three-step rhythms: plant, pull, and breathe. At the summit, wind beat my face as I gazed at the valley below. Jake approached, voice shaky. “I wanted to prove I was the best,” he admitted. “But I forgot to respect the mountain.” That moment reshaped my understanding of growth — it wasn’t about conquering peaks but embracing humility and patience.
Years later, as a guide, I teach philosophy at a high school. One student recently asked, “What if I fail ” I smiled. “Failure isn’t falling, it’s refusing to learn why you fell.” Mountains mirror life’s struggles: unpredictable, demanding, yet transformative (能使人改变的). Every struggle and setback carves resilience (适应力)into our stories. The true summit isn’t a physical place — it’s the wisdom we carry back to the world below.
4. What initial attitude did the author have toward the instructor’s advice
A．Enthusiastic. B．Doubtful. C．Supportive. D．Confused.

C．Competitively driven. D．Emotionally attached.
7. What lesson does the author learn from this climbing
A．Winning requires fighting bravely. B．Physical strength guarantees success. C．Teamwork outweighs personal goals. D．Success values steady effort over shortcuts.

Stores play music to change the way customers feel. Clothing stores for teenagers play popular music. It is exciting and makes the customers feel happy, but music does more than that. It can change the way a person shops.
According to studies, the volume (音量) of music changes how people shop. Customers shop quickly when store music is very loud. They hurry through the store, but they buy just as much. When music is quiet, customers shop slowly. Customers take time to look at the products and talk with the salespeople. Quiet music is good for products that take time and information to buy.
Slow music makes people slow down. In restaurants with slow music, customers spend more time eating. Slow music also slows down customers in supermarkets. Customers notice more products as they walk through the store. With slow music in supermarkets, sales go up by 38 percent.
Familiar music gives shoppers a good idea of time. People know the beginning, middle, and end of a familiar song. When customers hear music that is not familiar, they don’t notice the time. When they don’t notice the time, they spend more time shopping and buy more. People remember past experiences and feelings when they hear familiar music. Many stores play old, happy music so customers feel good. When customers hear new music, they forget about the world outside of the store. Some stores use new music so their customers relax while they shop.
Stores choose music that fits their products. A bookstore plays classical music and jazz. It gives the store a serious and intelligent feeling.
8. What’s the best title for the passage
A．Customers’ Music B．Store Music
C．Customers and Music Owners D．Music and Shopping
9. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about

Nowadays, short videos have become a common part of teenage life. Most students watch short videos for fun in their free time. However, a group of Grade One students turned this popular tool into a powerful way to spread low-carbon ideas in 2026.
Last term, Li Man and her classmates signed up for a school environmental club. Their adviser suggested they create short videos about daily green acts instead of holding boring speeches. At first, some teenagers doubted this idea. They thought short videos were only for entertainment and could not make a real difference to environmental protection.
To prove their idea, the team divided work among members. Some students recorded daily low-carbon moves: riding bikes to school, sorting rubbish, reusing paper notebooks and taking cloth bags shopping. Others searched for simple environmental data and explained it in easy words on camera. Every week they posted one video on the school’s official account. They also encouraged other teens to share their own green clips with the tag Teen Low Carbon Life.
Three months later, the result was beyond their expectation. Over 800 students in the school joined their video activity. Many parents said their kids changed living habits after watching the videos. Some local community centers even invited the student group to share their video-making experience.
Li Man said the biggest gain from this teenage project was not praise or prizes. “We used to think one student’s small action meant nothing. But when hundreds of teenagers stand together and voice the same idea, our carbon footprint will become smaller little by little.” She added that they would keep making short videos and hope more young people could take environmental responsibility.
Teachers believe this activity sets a good example for teenagers. It shows teens can use online tools wisely and turn their spare time into meaningful teenage experiences.
12. What does the underlined word “doubted” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A．accepted B．questioned C．ignored D．admired
13. What can we infer about the student group’s videos
A．They only show school club meetings.
B．They use hard professional environmental reports.
C．They attract students and even get attention from communities.
D．They were posted on many famous video platforms nationwide.
14. What is Li Man’s attitude towards their video project
A．Disappointed B．Uncertain C．Supportive and proud D．Worried
15. What is the main idea of the text
A．How teenagers make interesting short videos for fun.
B．A group of freshmen use short videos to carry out low-carbon activities.
C．Different kinds of after-school clubs in high school.
D．The bad influence of short videos on teenagers’ study.
七选五
Qin Shihuang is a widely-known emperor (帝王) in Chinese history. During his rule, he ordered his men to build a huge army of life-sized terracotta warriors (兵马俑). These, he hoped, would guard him after his death.
___16___ But they are not always this color. They began as an army of red, blue, yellow, green, white, and purple. ___17___ Before their discovery, these soldiers were protected by being underground.

They then cover it in plastic.
Experts are also finding colors in the dirt around Xi’an’s terracotta soldiers. They consider it important not to touch the dirt, so the colors won’t be lost. ___19___ Once that happens, artists can bring Emperor Qin’s army back to life in full color. The terracotta warriors have stood guard over the emperor’s tomb for more than 2,000 years. Thanks to these scientific efforts, they may soon stand guard in full color as the emperor once imagined. ___20___

Last Friday afternoon, the sky looked clear when I left school. I planned to walk home and enjoy the nice breeze after a whole day’s classes. However, dark grey clouds rolled over the sky all of a sudden. Strong winds blew hard, shaking the street trees wildly. Soon, big drops of rain fell down heavily.
I searched my schoolbag anxiously, only to find I left my umbrella on my desk in the classroom. There were no shops nearby to buy one, and my parents were both busy at work and could not pick me up. Standing at the street corner, I held my schoolbag over my head helplessly, not daring to rush into the cold rain.
Just as I felt upset and didn’t know what to do, a soft voice came from behind me. I turned back and saw Mrs. Lin, my new neighbour who moved into our community one month ago. She held a large black umbrella in her hand and smiled warmly at me. “Boy, it’s raining so heavily. Would you like to share my umbrella ” she asked gently.

五、读后续写范文
I accepted her kindness and walked with her slowly in the rain. We chatted casually on the way home. Mrs. Lin told me she worked in the city library and loved reading. I poured out my worry about heavy schoolwork and endless exams. She comforted me patiently and told me to take it easy and find small joys in study. The big umbrella sheltered us well, and the cold rain no longer made me feel lonely. Soon we arrived at my doorway. I thanked her sincerely for her help.
From this small experience, I learned a meaningful lesson. A little kindness can warm people trapped in trouble. Mrs. Lin’s umbrella brought me warmth on that rainy day. From then on, I decided to pass on this kindness. Whenever I see someone in need, I will reach out to offer help without hesitation. Small warm acts can make the whole world softer.
