Creative Corner: Use coloring books, puzzles, and building blocks to help quiet your mind.

I used to fear the moment when tests were handed back. The sight of red ink — each mark felt like a public verdict (审判) on my ability. I’d push the paper deep into my bag, hoping it would disappear.
Then came Mr. Clark, my biology teacher. He explained that scientists don’t hide failed experiments. Instead, they write them down carefully, analyse (分析) why the result was different, and learn clear lessons from them. Then he proposed a simple practice: Create a “Museum of Mistakes”— a notebook where every mistake becomes an exhibit with a clear analysis.
Doubtful but curious, I bought a thick notebook. The rule was simple: no copying correct answers. On the left page, I taped the original question I’d got wrong. On the right, I wrote a “case report”:
— What I thought: “Decline” means “describe”.
— What the text actually said: “Decline” = a decrease in number or strength.
— Why I misread it: I confused it with “describe” because both begin with de-.
— What I’ll do next time: Circle prefixes (前缀) before reading; check definitions using surrounding information.
At first, it felt like extra work. But weeks later, something changed. Reviewing the museum before exams, I wasn’t staring at failures — I was studying a personal map of my thinking. Something became clear: over 70% of my mistakes came from rushing or mixing up similar concepts. And for the first time, I began seeing traps before I fell into them — not just reacting to them.
My grades improved. But the real victory was quieter: the red ink lost its power to define me. It became a helpful highlighter — pointing not to weakness, but to where my understanding needed scaffolding. Mr. Clark hadn’t given me a shortcut. He’d given me a way of seeing— one that turns failure from an ending into useful information, and every mistake into a careful step forward. Learning isn’t the absence of error. It’s the wisdom in how we respond to it.
4. What did the author think of her mistakes in the first paragraph
A．They were final.
B．They were personal.
C．They were shameful.

A．Exchange. B．Support. C．Replacement. D．Challenge.
7. What does the author’s experience show
A．Knowledge is power.
B．Teaching is significant.
C．Mistake can be a helper.
D．Practice makes perfect.

For years, the swimming world was ruled by a swimsuit: the “Shark Skin”. Designed to copy shark skin and reduce water resistance (抵抗) , it was praised as a technological wonder. Swimmers wearing it seemed unstoppable. At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, nearly all medals were won by athletes in these suits. World records fell at an astonishing rate, with swimmers breaking 79 records in 2008 alone. It wasn’t just about skill anymore; it was about technology.
However, the cheers soon mixed with doubts. The suit was unbelievably effective, reportedly making swimmers up to 4% faster. Critics (批评者) argued this created an unfair playing field. The suits were extremely expensive, costing around 7,000 RMB each and could only be used about six times before losing effectiveness. Not every athlete or country could afford this constant expense. Was victory now determined by money rather than pure athletic talent and training Many felt this crossed a line, calling the suit “technological doping” — a tool that provided an unfair advantage, much like illegal drugs.
The debate reached a peak in 2009. The international swimming governing body (FINA) faced a serious question: should technology define the sport They decided it should not. Stating the need to protect fairness and ensure the competition was between athletes, not engineers, FINA banned (禁止) high-tech suits like the Shark Skin.
The story of the Shark Skin swimsuit remains. It forced the world of sports to solve a modern problem: where should we draw the line between using technology to improve human performance and keeping the important spirit of fair competition based on an athlete’s own body and effort It serves as a lasting reminder that in the pursuit of “faster, higher, stronger,” the playing field must remain clean for all.
8. What was a direct result of using “Shark Skin” swim suit
A．Higher injury risks.
B．Lower training costs.
C．Improved athlete performance.
D．New training methods.
9. What does “technological doping” probably mean
A．Using scientific methods to train athletes.
B．Using illegal drugs to improve performance.
C．Using expensive equipment to replace training.
D．Using technology to gain an artificial advantage.
10. What was FINA’s reason for banning the swimsuit
A．They didn’t work as expected.
B．They damaged the competition fairness.
C．They were too difficult to produce.
D．They brought health risks to athletes.
11. What does the author suggest about sports technology
A．Putting fairness first.
B．Sharing equipment freely.
C．Trusting personal abilities.
D．Encouraging application.

High on the cliffs (悬崖) along the old Silk Road, the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang are a world-famous treasure. For over a thousand years, their walls have been covered with beautiful paintings that tell religious stories. These paintings are also famous for their special and rich set of colors, known as the “Dunhuang Colors”. Made from natural materials, these colors have mixed Eastern and Western styles and remain bright today.
Now, they are starting an exciting new journey, changing from pictures in caves into a fresh part of modern life and style, especially in the world of beauty products. A key example is the project between the Dunhuang Museum and the makeup company Carslan. Their “Awakening Dunhuang” collection came from a very careful process of “cultural redesign”.
The designers did deep study. They looked at many slight differences in color to choose the perfect “Dunhuang Red” and “Mala Gold”. These choices were true to history but also looked good on modern skin. These colors became the heart of make-up products. Also, famous images like the graceful Flying Apsaras were carved finely onto the surface of makeup cases, turning daily items into art. This collection was a huge market success, selling out quickly and starting a popular “Dunhuang Makeup” trend (趋势) online.
This trend’s importance is much greater than just business. It marks a change. For young Chinese buyers, using these products is an active way to connect with their culture— it lets them carry their heritage (遗产) proudly and show a modern, confident identity. More widely, this successful mix offers a strong example for how to keep culture alive today. It shows that tradition stays important and exciting when it can connect deeply with how we live now. While the journey of culture requires both deep respect and creative courage, the movement of Dunhuang’s colors— from ancient caves to today’s makeup bags— fills one with hope.
12. What is a key feature of the “Dunhuang Colors”
A．They are easy to make artificially.
B．They remain bright after centuries.
C．They are entirely from Western.
D．They were used only for religious art.
13. Why is the Dunhuang makeup collection mentioned in paragraph 3
A．To show how cultural redesign works.
B．To prove the value of color research.
C．To highlight a successful business case.
D．To explain Dunhuang’s historical importance.
14. What is the author’s attitude toward “Dunhuang Makeup” trend
A．Doubtful. B．Negative. C．Unclear. D．Appreciative.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A．Mixing Cultural Heritage with Creation
B．Telling a Success Story Through Makeup
C．Exploring the Secrets of Dunhuang Colors
D．Following the Colorful Journey of Dunhuang

47. 阅读下面的材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The School Science Day was coming up, and for Leo, it was terrible. While everybody seemed to have come up with great ideas, his mind remained a blank page. He loved art, but science projects They made no sense. “I have zero science cells,” he thought hopelessly.
Across the classroom sat Auggie. His face, which was born deformed (畸形的) and still looked horrible after many surgeries, made him the target of whispers and stares. Most kids avoided him, and Leo had always done the same. But Leo couldn’t help noticing something else: in science class, Auggie’s eyes lit up. He handled equipment with skill and always gave 100 percent in the task he did.
Leo watched his lonely figure, a seed of an idea planting itself in his mind. What if he asked Auggie for help The project required both a functional model and an eye-catching poster to introduce it. They could be a perfect team! But the moment the thought appeared, a cold wave of fear washed over him. He could almost hear his friends’ laughter. “Why work with him ” they would say.
Their laughing felt like a wall. For days, Leo was caught between his need for help and his fear of friends’ stares. He tried to work alone, but ended only in failure.
One afternoon, defeated, he watched as Auggie patiently helped a teacher fix a printer. Amazingly, with his efforts, he brought the machine back to life. The teacher’s grateful smile and Auggie’s humble (谦逊的) nod created a quiet, powerful moment in the busy hallway.
At that very moment, something changed inside Leo. He didn’t just see Auggie’s face. He saw his calm mind and the shining pride in his eyes. Leo’s fear of gossip (闲言碎语) suddenly felt small and wrong. He knew what he had to do.
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。
Taking a deep breath, Leo walked toward Auggie.
