Explore the Emerald Valley National Park!
Welcome to Emerald Valley National Park, a beautiful park in the Pacific Northwest! Set up in 1998, it covers over 1,500 square kilometers of wonderful scenery. The park got its name from the emeraldgreen color of its largest lake, Lake Serenity, which is filled with clear mountain water.
What to See and Do
◆For Nature Lovers: Don’t miss Crystal Waterfalls, 85 meters high. You can hear its sound from far away! For a great view of the valley, hike up to Sunrise Peak, the highest point at 1,920 meters. The path takes about three hours.
◆For Adventure Seekers: You can rent kayaks (皮艇) at Lake Serenity. A twohour guided tour costs $25 per person and lets you explore quiet corners of the lake. If you like cycling, there are over 50 kilometers of bike paths.
◆For Culture Lovers: Visit Maplewood Farm to experience farm life of the old days. The farmhouse is open from 10 a. m. to 4 p. m., and volunteers show how to make traditional apple juice every Saturday.
Plan Your Visit
◆Entrance Fee: The park entrance is free for visitors under 12. For adults, it’s $10 per person, which includes access to all public areas.
◆Best Time to Visit: While beautiful all year round, the park is at its best from July to October when the weather is mild and the wildflowers are in full bloom.
◆Please Remember: To protect its natural beauty, you can only camp in special areas, and drones (无人机) are not allowed at all. If you’d like to contribute, the park organizes a “Clean Trail” volunteer program every first Sunday of the month — no need to book in advance, just show up!

Venus Williams was 17 when she played against her 16yearold sister Serena at the 1998 Australian Open. Venus won that match and their second meeting at the Italian Open. Together, the sisters have won 122 singles titles, including 30 Grand Slam singles titles and they’ve won 22 doubles titles as teammates.
Their success comes not just from talent, but also from their father Richard Williams’ devotion and effort. In the 1980s, locals saw the Williams were learning the game so that they could pass it on to their daughters. Venus started lessons at age 4, and Serena soon joined. They practiced from early morning until night, sometimes hitting hundreds of balls before taking a break.
The Williams family lived in Compton, California—a neighborhood troubled by drugs and violence in the 1980s. Local parks and courts (网球场) were controlled by gangs (帮派). Richard sometimes got hurt while protecting the courts, but he never gave up. “It almost destroyed my body and spirit,” he wrote later, “but the courts were ours.” Not only did Richard win, but some gang members even began to serve as unofficial security guards during their practice sessions. The Williams sisters got through every problem and danger—even when they heard gunshots nearby.
In 1991, the family moved to Florida for better training. Coach Rick Macci was surprised by their strong wish to get every ball. Even as they trained with professionals (专业人员), Richard stayed strict. He used old tennis balls to make them run faster and even used broken glass on the court to test their focus. The sisters didn’t join junior tournaments (联赛). Instead, they turned professional early—Venus at 14 in 1994, and Serena a year later.
4. What can we learn about the Williams sisters
A．They began playing tennis in Florida.
B．They have each won 22 doubles titles.
C．They have won 122 singles titles in total.
D．Serena beat Venus at the 1998 Australian Open.

C．To become professional players.
D．To teach the sport to their daughters.

Humanoid robots, which are designed to look and move like humans, are no longer just in science fiction. They are stepping into our real world, performing tasks that were once only possible for humans. These robots usually have cameras for eyes, microphones for ears, and advanced sensors that allow them to sense their environment and respond accordingly. They can walk on two legs, hold objects with flexible (灵活的) fingers, and keep balance like humans. This is a great achievement in modern engineering.
Building humanoid robots requires many advanced technologies working together. Artificial intelligence (AI) serves as the robot’s “brain”, enabling it to process information, recognize voices and faces, and make decisions. At the same time, mechanics and electronics work together to control its movements, making them smooth and natural. Some robots can even dance, climb stairs, or carry breakable things safely. Scientists are still improving their design so that robots can work better in places like factories or disaster sites.
Why do people want to build robots that look like humans One key reason is that our world — our tools, cars, and buildings — is largely built for the human form. A robot with a similar body structure can fit into existing environments without the need to redesign everything. This advantage makes them ideal for helping the elderly, working in hospitals, or exploring dangerous areas where it is unsafe for people to go. They are not meant to replace humans, but to work with us and take over boring or risky jobs.
Looking ahead, scientists believe humanoid robots will become more common in daily life. However, challenges remain, including high costs, power use, and how to make them friendly and safe to talk to. The goal is not to create perfect human copies, but to build helpful partners that make life better.
8. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the first paragraph
A．To compare robots with science fiction.
B．To explain how to build humanoid robots.
C．To introduce some basic information about humanoid robots.
D．To show the history of robot development.
9. What is the role of artificial intelligence in humanoid robots
A．To reduce the cost of robot production.
B．To process information and make decisions.
C．To design the robot’s humanlike appearance.
D．To control the robot’s mechanical movements.
10. What do the underlined words “This advantage” in paragraph 3 refer to
A．The ability to replace human workers completely.
B．The ability to learn new skills independently.
C．The ability to perform tasks without any energy.
D．The ability to fit into environments made for humans.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．The History of Robot Development
B．Humanoid Robots: Our Future Helpers
C．How AI Controls Humanoid Robots
D．The Challenges in Robotics Design

Keeping mentally healthy is important for living a fulfilling life, dealing with stressful situations, learning well, working effectively, and realizing our goals. So it’s important to take action to improve and protect our mental health and wellbeing (幸福).
A new study from Curtin University in Western Australia looked at 15 common daily activities that may help protect people’s mental health. The researchers found that the best activities are easy to do, cheap, and need no special tools.
In the study, 603 adults were asked by phone about their physical and mental health. They also answered how often they took part in 15 mentalhealth protective activities, such as visiting family, spending time outdoors, doing exercise, meeting friends, reading, doing puzzles, learning a new language and so on.
The researchers used a short questionnaire (问卷调查) with 14 questions to measure (衡量) each person’s mental wellbeing. The total score could be between 14 and 70 — the higher the score, the better a person felt mentally.
The results showed that people who often chatted with others or spent time in nature had much better mental health. For example, people who chatted with other people one to six times a week recorded 5.8 points higher wellbeing scores than those who did so less often.
“Regular connection with others — even a daily chat — can make a big difference to how people feel,” said lead author Professor Christina Pollard, from Curtin’s School of Population Health. “Similarly, spending time outdoors or doing something that requires thinking and focusing, like doing crosswords, reading, or learning a new language, gives your mind a good rest.”
The researchers said their findings show that society should support people to take actions that keep them mentally healthy. “This research proves that when people are supported and encouraged to do things that keep their mental health healthy, the benefits (益处) can be felt across the community,” said Pollard. “It’s about prevention, not just treatment — helping people stay mentally well before problems become serious.”
12. What is the main goal of Curtin University’s study
A．To know the cause of mental illness.
B．To find activities benefiting mental health.
C．To test the effect of mental health treatment.
D．To compare global mental health treatments.
13. How did researchers get the data (数据) for the study
A．By online survey.
B．Using wearable technology.
C．Through telephone interviews.
D．Through laboratory experiments.
14. What does the study suggest about improving mental health
A．Preventing mental health problems is key.
B．People should talk to doctors more often.
C．Spending time outdoors is the most important.
D．Personal feelings are the only thing that matters.
15. Which of the following can be inferred from the text
A．The 14question questionnaire is still being used.
B．Medicine is more effective than social connection.
C．Most adults had serious mental problems before.
D．Simple daily habits can greatly improve wellbeing.

How to Build Your SelfConfidence
Feeling unsure of yourself sometimes is completely normal. However, if you’re ready to enjoy life and achieve your goals, building selfconfidence is key. __16__

In his 20year career, Eliud Kipchoge has won over 70% of the __23__ he has entered and became the first person to run a marathon in under two hours.

Altitude training builds strength that makes normal __29__ easy.
This can __30__ for fears as well. If you take an activity that scares you and __31__ the difficulty of that activity, __32__ to the normal activity afterwards will feel easier.
If the activity you’re doing feels too easy, you won’t make any __33__　. But if the activity feels terribly hard, then you can __34__ creating more fear for yourself. Find the “just right” level — like Kipchoge’ s 8,000 feet: hard enough to __35__　, not so difficult that it makes you afraid.

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。
Lily, 16, had been arguing with her mom all week.
“You never let me go out! You don’t trust me!” she shouted one evening.
“I just want you safe,” Mom said quietly, but Lily slammed (猛关) her door without listening.
That night, while looking for her lost earring under the bed, Lily found an old notebook. It was her mom’s diary — the cover worn, the pages yellowed. Curious, she opened it and read the first entry, dated ten years ago:
March 12,2015
Today, Lily fell and hurt her knee. She cried so hard. I held her all night. My baby is growing, but I’m scared — what if one day I can’t protect her What if she gets lost Or hurt Or worse... what if she stops needing me
Another entry, five years ago:
She got her first A in math. I wanted to cheer, but I only said “Good job.” I know I’m not like other moms — I don’t hug much or say “I love you” often. But every night, I check if her window is locked. Every morning, I pack her favorite snack, even when she says she’s too old. I love her more than words can say.
Lily’s hands trembled (颤抖) as she read these words. She remembered how Mom always “happened” to be at the bus stop, how her lunchbox always had an extra banana, how her coat was always hanging by the door on rainy days — even if Mom was at work. She thought of her own sharp words just hours ago. Tears fell onto the page. She had thought Mom didn’t care.
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。
Lily closed the diary and sat quietly by the bedside.

四、书信写作范文
Dear Mr. Dave,
I’m writing to share an unforgettable housework experience during my holiday.
Seeing my parents tired from work, I decided to give the whole house a thorough cleaning. I swept floors, wiped tables and sorted out messy cabinets. It took me nearly three hours to finish it. Tired as I was, I felt great when my parents returned home and praised me.
This experience made me realize how much housework my parents do every day. I learned to value their hard work and will share more housework in future.
Best regards,
Li Hua
五、读后续写范文
Lily closed the diary and sat quietly by the bedside. Great guilt washed over her. She felt ashamed for quarrelling with her mom and speaking so rudely. It suddenly dawned on her that her mom’s strictness was just another way of expressing deep love. Those small things she had taken for granted were all full of mom’s care. She made up her mind to say sorry to her mom the next day. She put the diary back carefully and fell asleep with mixed feelings.
The next morning, Mom was making breakfast in the kitchen as usual. Seeing mom’s busy figure, Lily walked up to her quickly and gave her a tight hug. With tears in her eyes, Lily apologized sincerely for her bad behaviour. Mom was shocked at first and then smiled warmly. Mom explained she just worried about her safety. At that moment, Lily fully understood that love could exist in silent protection rather than sweet words.
