Seven children line up, awaiting their turn on a slide. As each child rushes down, the ones behind laugh and cheer. Such a scene is rare in Lagos, one of Africa’s fastest-growing cities, with a population of about 17 million. But on the city’s outskirts, a garbage-site-turned-park is providing room for kids to play. The project is the brainchild of 17-year-old Amara Nwuneli, who wants to prove that even in Lagos’ most crowded corners, children can have fun.
For Amara, the path to building parks began when a terrible flood struck her hometown in 2020. Heavy rains swallowed entire neighborhoods, leaving thousands of families homeless. “People just said it was government failure or bad luck.” Amara recalls. But, later, she realized it was what was called Nigeria’s “climate apathy”: the tendency to view floods, heat waves, and droughts as isolated (孤立的) incidents rather than consequences of a warming planet.
“I wanted to change the mindset,” Amara says. “If people don’t feel connected to nature, they won’t fight to protect it. And I knew that had to start with creating spaces people could actually see and feel.”
It was no easy task. Amara first approached the Lagos State Government, which offered land but imposed (施加) restrictions that made long-term construction impossible. After months of dead ends, she shifted strategy and started looking for alternative spaces that were accessible to high-risk communities. Eventually, Amara secured a garbage site. She then mobilized a team of artists, volunteers, and small donors to clear the trash and rebuild the site with recycled materials. Three months later, the park opened.
Amara is now planning two more parks. She says communities from across the country have been reaching out to her team for advice on how to reclaim abandoned spaces for public use. “That creates a kind of cycle,” Amara reflects. “I take action, others notice, they want to take action, too. And together, it grows.”
24. What might be a problem Lagos is facing
A. Insufficient public areas. B. Poor garbage management.
C. Limited recreational activities. D. Uncontrolled population growth.
25. What does the underlined word “apathy” in paragraph 2 most probably mean
A. Disbelief. B. Indifference. C. Ignorance. D. Fear.
26. What quality does Amara demonstrate when completing the project
A. Integrity. B. Optimism. C. Flexibility. D. Confidence.
27. What does Amara want to convey in the last paragraph
A. Small steps make a big difference. B. Every cloud has a silver lining.
C. All roads lead to Rome. D. It is never too late to act.

So, you’ve finished that dull book. You sat through the movie you paid for, super bored. Stood in a long queue for that milk tea. Paid much for the luxury handbag — expensive nonsense. What do these have in common They’re all examples of what economists call “sunk costs”: the price you’ve already paid — in time, money, effort, suffering, for an item or an experience — holds you to them. It’s a phenomenon we all recognize. It affects our behavior in ways that can be unreasonable. But we do it.
To avoid the situation, economists tell us to make decisions based mainly on future value, not past investment. If the ongoing cost outweighs the expected benefit, one should cut their losses and walk away. It hurts, yes, but this cold, clear logic protects us from going broke.
Yet, life is rarely so neatly calculated. This purely economic view raises difficult questions: Does the value of an experience lie only in its outcome, or also in the process A joyful journey with an ordinary goal and a painful one aimed at a splendid achievement, which one is more worthwhile
When it comes to education, the “sunk costs” theory doesn’t seem applicable. Parents and teachers pour immeasurable amount of investment — love, time, hope, money — into the growth of a child. Will the child turn out the way they expect No guarantee. If we view this through a strict cost-benefit angle, much of education can be written off as a “sunk cost”. Education is obviously different from the commercial world. A child’s growth cannot be planned like a business strategy; it unfolds like a unique and unpredictable story. We can’t dream his dreams or live his life; we can purely build the stage, and light his path.
In education we have to hold onto this faith: everything we do for a child is worthwhile. Every act of love is like offering light and water to a seed; while we can’t see its roots grow underground, we know it. That child will blossom (开花) some day. Not all that has cost is sunk.
28. Which of the following best describes the examples in paragraph 1
A. Boring but beneficial. B. Interesting but worthless.
C. Joyful and worthwhile. D. Senseless and regrettable.
29. What do economists advise us to do to avoid “sunk costs”
A. Focus on the outcome. B. Ignore the future losses.
C. Calculate the past cost. D. Pursue the hidden gains.
30. What is the writer’s attitude towards the investment in education
A. Approving. B. Balanced. C. Critical. D. Doubting.
31. Why does the author write the text
A. To promote a principle. B. To correct a misbehavior.
C. To challenge a concept. D. To present a phenomenon.
D
Why does “bouba” sound round and “kiki” sound spiky (尖锐的) This perception, known as “bouba-kiki” effect, is reliable all over the world, and for at least a century, scientists have considered it a clue to the origin of language, theorizing that maybe our ancestors built their first words upon these associations between sound and shape. But a new study published in Science adds an unexpected finding: baby chickens make these same pairings, suggesting that the link to human language may not be so unique.
The study was led by Maria Loconsole, a comparative psychologist at the University of Padua. She and her colleagues placed chicks in front of two panels: one featured a flowerlike shape with gently rounded curves; the other had a spiky shape like a cartoon explosion. They then played recordings of humans saying either “bouba” or “kiki” and observed the birds’ behavior. When the chicks heard “bouba,” 80 percent of them approached the round shape first and spent an average of more than three minutes exploring it compared with an average of just under one minute spent exploring the spiky shape. When the chicks heard “kiki,” the opposite occurred.
One long-standing theory that these associations are inspired by the shape your mouth makes when you say each word can now be ruled out, since the chicks showed the effect despite being unable to speak. Instead the “bouba-kiki” effect may originate from the physical properties of objects themselves. When round objects hit the ground or roll, they typically produce more continuous, low-frequency sounds than spiky ones. A built-in grasp of those dynamics, linking sight and sound, could help newborn animals quickly make sense of their environment, possibly to locate food or avoid predators (食肉动物).
The “bouba-kiki” effect may have played a role in the emergence of language. But for chickens, this same tendency seems to serve a more evolutionary purpose. “Even if language is unique to humans,” Loconsole says, “that doesn’t mean that it comes from an ability that is unique to humans.”
32. What does the new study focus on
A. The origin of human language. B. Sound-shape connections in chicks.
C. Animals’ recognition of shapes. D. Brain-behavior relationships of birds.
33. In what way do the chicks respond differently to the two sounds
A. Sound localization. B. Reaction speed.
C. Exploration preference. D. Matching accuracy.
34. What is paragraph 3 mainly about concerning the effect
A. Its historical context. B. Its potential application.
C. Its overlooked limitation. D. Its possible explanation.
35. What does Loconsole say about the effect
A. It originated in birds. B. It shows evolutionary tendency.
C. It’s shared across species. D. It’s vital to language emergence.
第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
For years, I kept a careful distance from the people around me. Living in a busy city apartment, I learned to move through shared spaces quietly. 36 It wasn’t that I disliked others; keeping to myself just seemed easier. Independence mattered to me, and needing no one felt like part of being a grown-up.
37 Without warning, the power went out. The building fell into complete darkness. I sat alone in my apartment, the cold air pressing in as my phone went dead. The silence was familiar. Yet this time, it seemed different. Less comforting. More exposed.
A soft knock broke the stillness. It was my neighbour from 3B, someone I recognised but hardly knew. She held a candle and mentioned that a few residents were gathering in the hallway and invited me to join them. I hesitated. Staying alone felt safe, but something felt unsettled. 38
People sat on the floor, sharing blankets, tea, and quiet conversation. I listened more than I spoke. The man I had once assumed was unfriendly turned out to be a retired doctor with a dry sense of humour. 39 I realized how easily distance can turn into detachment (疏离).
When the lights finally returned, the hallway looked the same, but it felt different. I didn’t suddenly become outgoing, nor did I abandon my need for space. 40 It’s about knowing when to let them in. Now, when I step into the elevator, I don’t automatically lower my eyes. Sometimes, I look up.
A. After a moment, I stepped outside.
B. I avoided eye contact and unnecessary conversation.
C. I began to question my decision to join the conversation.
D. Most neighbours in the building kept to themselves as well.
E. As the night progressed, my long-held belief began to loosen.
F. But I understood something new: maturity isn’t about shutting others out.
G. That belief was challenged one night when a violent storm swept through the city.

A Terracotta Warrior figurine (塑像) workshop in Xi’an, Shaanxi province, has gained increasing attention from visitors. The sound of clay hitting a wooden worktable fills the air as foreign visitors try crafting Terracotta Warrior sculptures 56 (use) ancient techniques.
One such visitor is Yun Ye-chan, a 15-year-old South Korean student, who 57 (come) to Xi’an last month specifically to make a figurine. He hoped to see how the 2,000-year-old warriors were made after learning about them in books. Yun said that making figurines 58 hand was more rewarding than just visiting, as it helped him understand ancient wisdom and craftsmanship.
Yun, visiting China for the first time, is among 59 growing number of foreign tourists heading for Emperor Qinshihuang’s Mausoleum Site Museum to create their own 60 (meaning) experiences and feel Qin Dynasty’s charm. This trend in recent years 61 (draw) numerous foreign visitors to nearby hands-on workshops. There visitors can make small Terracotta Warriors, 62 allows them to touch ancient history in person.

Thanks to China’s 64 (steady) expanded visa-free transit policies (过境免签政策) and rising 65 (popular) of experiential travel, international visitors are no longer content merely to admire the warriors — they hope to make figurines of their own. Each clay figurine acts as a cultural bridge, helping strengthen cross-cultural ties.

I’d always been told to take care of my older brother, Brian, who was born weak and small. I’d often tie his shoes or prepare another glass of water for him. My mom saw my larger size and strong body as a sign that I was to be a kind of guardian angel (守护天使) for Brian. However, that was not the case.
One day our school sponsored a pumpkin-carving contest. First prize was $100, and I knew just how I would spend it. There was a brand-new game I was dying to own. So I decided the first place bonus definitely had to land in my pocket.
When I had to carve the perfect pumpkin I’d picked out, it dawned on me that with my big clumsy fingers I’d surely screw it up (搞砸). I thought of Brian’s smaller, delicate hands and knew he was the man for the job. I immediately begged Brian. Unexpectedly, he asked for a cut. That was fifty-fifty. Quickly doing the math in my head, I figured out even if I split (分摊) the first prize, I’d still have enough cash for the game. So I gave in to Brian’s demands. With skillful hands Brian carved the perfect face, and now we had the best pumpkin ever.
Then the unexpected happened: We came in second. Unfortunately, second prize was only $50, and I needed every penny of that to buy the game. The day of the awards ceremony, the principal handed over the money to me because Brian was home, sick with cold.
If he really wanted to win, he would have been here today, I thought to myself, justifying stealing the cash from under poor Brian’s runny nose. With hardly a thought, I ran to the store and bought my dream game. That night when Brian asked if we had won, I denied, afraid to look into his eyes.
The whole thing was never mentioned again until the day when Brian was packing for college. I played my usual role in helping him pack when I came across an old album filled with photos he had taken as the school photographer.
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。
Paragraph 1:
I was enjoying the photos when one caught my eye.

【参考范文】
Dear Jenny,
Knowing that our school English Festival will hold an English short video competition, I'm writing to share my choice and reasons.
I'd choose "The joy of travelling". Travel turns ordinary days into stories: a sunrise over mountains, a warm smile from a stranger, or a bite of local food can all speak louder than words. For a short video, these vivid moments are easy to capture and fun to share. More importantly, while showing beautiful scenery, we can also present friendly Chinese people and rich culture, helping classmates see the world and themselves more clearly. Besides, it is easy for everyone to join in with a phone and a curious heart.
Yours,
Li Hua
读后续写 满分范文
Paragraph 1:
I was enjoying the photos when one caught my eye. It was a clear shot of our carefully carved pumpkin, with a small note on the back dated the day of the contest. Written in Brian’s soft handwriting were the words “Good luck to my little brother”. My heart sank instantly. It suddenly dawned on me that Brian had known we won the second prize all along. He must have seen the award news online or heard it from classmates, yet he chose to keep silent and never blamed me for hiding the money and lying to him.
Paragraph 2:
“You actually knew and didn’t say anything ” I was shocked. Smiling gently, Brian patted my shoulder and said he understood how badly I wanted the game at that time. Touched and ashamed, tears welled up in my eyes. I made a sincere apology and handed him all my saved pocket money. Brian refused it, saying our brotherly bond was far more precious than money. This unforgettable lesson taught me that true love lies in tolerance and understanding, and I would cherish our brotherhood forever.

M: That’s okay.
2.
M: Have you discussed your career choice with your teacher, Lisa
W: My teacher suggests I become a designer because of my art skills, but I want to be a doctor to help sick people.
M: That’s such a kind goal.
3.
W: We have to find a new apartment, Mike. The neighbor’s music is always too loud at night.
M: I agree. It’s been affecting our sleep. Any ideas on where to look
W: Maybe we can check the buildings near the park — quieter there.
4.
M: Do you often hike this mountain
W: No, this is my first time. How about you The views are amazing, but it’s harder to climb than I expected.
M: Yeah, but the top will be worth it.
5.
W: Now we’ve passed the coffee shop. Go straight for 300 meters, and then turn left. The library is right next to a bookstore.
M: Great, we still have 15 minutes before it closes.
6-7
M: Ma’am, could you pull over to the side of the road, please I need to check your vehicle registration.
W: Is there a problem, officer I just renewed my registration last month.
M: Your rear license plate light is out. Also, do you have your insurance card with you
W: Oh no, I think I left it at home. I usually keep it in the glove box, but I must have taken it out yesterday.
M: That’s another issue. You’ll need to provide proof of insurance within 48 hours, or you’ll face a fine.
W: I’ll bring it to the police station tomorrow.
8-10
M: Lily! Long time no see. I didn’t expect to run into you here.

W: Of course! She was wearing a blue dress and talked about her love for photography.
M: That’s her. Are you here by yourself Would you like to sit with us

M: Really I think there are a lot of good options. What’s the problem
W: They’ve canceled most of the drama series I like, and now it’s all talent shows and cooking competitions. They’re so repetitive.
M: Well, those shows get high ratings. People love watching others perform or cook.
W: But shouldn’t TV offer more meaningful content, like shows that teach people new skills or tell interesting stories
M: TV is mainly for relaxation, right If you want to learn something, you can watch online courses or read books.
W: I don’t agree. TV could be both entertaining and educational — there’s no need to choose one.
14-17
W: Welcome to Community Talk. I’m Maria, and today we have Mr. Clark from Greenfield Middle School. Hello, Mr. Clark. Could you tell us about the school’s community project

W: That sounds wonderful. What kind of tasks do they do
M: Some help the elderly with shopping or cleaning, others plant trees in the community park, and a few help at the local animal shelter.
W: What about the community members Do they take part in the project too
M: Yes! Every month, community members who have different jobs — like doctors, firefighters, and chefs — come to the school to give talks to the students.
W: That must help students learn more about different careers.
M: Exactly. Students also get to visit their workplaces sometimes, like the hospital or the fire station.
W: So the project helps both students and the community. That’s fantastic. Thank you, Mr. Clark.
M: You’re welcome.
18-20
W: Good morning, everyone. Today I want to share how I used art to raise awareness about plastic pollution in our oceans. Plastic waste is a big problem, but many people don’t realize how much it affects marine life. I live near a beach, and every time I go there, I see plastic bottles and bags everywhere. So I started an art project called “Ocean Treasures”. I collected plastic waste from the beach, cleaned it, and turned it into sculptures of sea animals — like turtles, dolphins, and fish. Each sculpture has a tag that says how long it takes for that type of plastic to break down. I displayed the sculptures on the beach and in local malls. The project has made a difference: more people are now bringing reusable bags to the beach, and local shops have started selling reusable water bottles. Some schools even asked me to teach students how to make their own plastic sculptures to spread the word.
