第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分）
第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Hurricanes, earthquakes, and wildfires are a few examples of unavoidable natural disasters. Throughout history, humans have caused some of the most disastrous environmental events. Here are four of them in the United States history that originated through human fault.
The Gulf of Mexico Dead Zone
In 1985, scientists began mapping a dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico. For years, humans have polluted the Mississippi River with pesticides, industrial waste, and poisonous chemicals. As the river flows into the Gulf, extra nutrients including nitrogen and phosphorous in the water cause sudden and quick algal (海藻) growth, consuming too much oxygen. In 2021, the disaster area measured 6,334 square miles.
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a huge area of marine waste in the North Pacific Ocean. It is made up of tiny pieces of plastic brought together by the North Pacific Gyre (北太平洋环流), which is formed by four ocean currents — California, North Equatorial, Kuroshio, and North Pacific.
Three Mile Island Accident
One of the most significant accidents in the history of American nuclear power took place on March 28, 1979. The disaster happened at Three Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The unit was damaged beyond repair and released radioactive material into the environment.
2017 California Wildfires
Human activities such as burning fossil fuels, cutting down forests, and raising large numbers of animals can increase greenhouse gases in the air, making the Earth warmer. In October 2017, northern California had one of the most deadly wildfire seasons in history. Higher temperatures and drought made the fire spread quickly. The 2017 wildfires burned about 245,000 acres of land and killed at least 47 people.
21. What do the four disasters have in common
A. They are all natural disasters. B. They all happened in coastal areas.
C. They can all repair themselves naturally. D. They were all caused by human activities.
22. What is special about The Gulf of Mexico Dead Zone
A. It happened because the water lost too much oxygen.
B. It was caused by the release of radioactive materials.
C. More greenhouse gases in the air led to the disaster.
D. Tiny plastic pieces carried by ocean currents caused it.
23. Which disaster was related to nuclear power
A. The Gulf of Mexico Dead Zone. B. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
C. Three Mile Island Accident. D. 2017 California Wildfires.
B
Marion Sheppard felt sorry for herself when she began to lose her sight in her 40s. Since childhood, Sheppard had always been a keen dancer. But now she rarely left her Bronx apartment. She was afraid that, unable to see a stranger approaching, she would be knocked down on the streets. In fact, mostly, she worried about the way she would appear to the world. She wondered constantly, “What if people look at me differently, and treat me differently ”
After several months of grief and fear, Sheppard resolved to keep moving. Hard as it was, Sheppard forced herself to go out. She attended a social event for people with visual problems, and was shocked to find that not only did no one dance, but they barely moved. “Oh no!” she told herself. “That is not the way I want to live!” She bought a walking stick and named it Tyreek, which she had always planned on giving a son if she had one. Sheppard continued to work at her library job at The New York Times until her vision worsened in her 50s. And she kept moving and dancing. Sheppard was 61 when she attended a summer camp for the blind in 2008, where she taught her first line dancing class.
After that, she asked a Manhattan community center run by Visions if she could teach her class there, but she was told no and that it would be too dangerous for the students. Still, she persisted, and soon convinced the administrators to let her teach line dancing on a volunteer basis. Her classes proved to be so popular that in 2012, Visions hired her to be on staff. Sheppard was excited.
She was teaching over a dozen students dance steps. But Sheppard instructed her beloved students on far more than that. With constant encouragement, she also managed to make dignity and independence take root in them. In her classes, the students could truly be themselves.
24. Why was Sheppard unwilling to leave her apartment
A. She had a lot of housework to do.
B. She had to attend her son at home.
C. She was afraid of being looked down upon.
D. She was worried about getting involved in accidents.
25. How did Sheppard feel about her walking stick
A. She was often greatly embarrassed by it. B. She regarded it as a temporary necessity.
C. She treated it simply as an ordinary tool. D. She valued it as something special.
26. Why did the community center refuse Sheppard’s request at first
A. They didn’t have enough space for dance classes.
B. They were concerned about the students’ safety.
C. They didn’t believe Sheppard could teach well.
D. They thought dancing wasn’t suitable for blind people.
27. What did Sheppard’s students learn from her
A. Humor and patience. B. Intelligence and honesty.
C. Imagination and creativity. D. Self-respect and self-reliance.
C
Labubu dolls are hard to find. Even at the giant flagship store of their maker, Pop Mart, in Shanghai, customers are told they need to wait a week or longer. The lovely creatures, sold in “blind boxes” so that buyers don’t know which one they will get, are loved not only by Chinese children but also by famous people at home and abroad.
For many years, Chinese shoppers liked to follow foreign trends in fashion, make-up, hotels and other areas. But now, they are turning to local luxury brands (奢侈品品牌), high-end make-up labels and milk tea shops. Furthermore, many of these brands are winning fans in other countries. Chinese brands are beginning to penetrate international markets with their unique products.
As consumers have become more careful about spending, cheap but good-quality local brands have grown popular. But lower prices are not the only reason for the love of Chinese brands. In many cases shoppers are paying the same or even more for local products. For instance, the best-selling drinks at Chagee, a tea chain (连锁) that went public in New York in April, are tea lattes (拿铁) that sell for 15-20 yuan ($2-3), almost the same as Starbucks’s top drinks in China.
Chinese consumers are also now far less crazy about foreign goods simply because they are foreign. The rapid rise of Laopu proves that. Instead of copying Western style, both Laopu and Chagee have shown off their Chineseness. It has worked. The competition is not limited to China. Pop Mart now has stores in more than 20 countries, including at least 37 in America. Chagee will have more than 1,300 shops outside China by the end of the year, up from almost none four years ago.
Experts believe that the more foreign recognition these brands get, the more popular they become within China. The popularity on Western social media over Labubu dolls is thought to have made them even more famous at home.
28. What’s the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To introduce the topic. B. To present an argument.
C. To offer a solution. D. To give an opinion.
29. What does the underlined word “penetrate” in paragraph 2 most likely mean
A. Avoid. B. Enter. C. Ignore. D. Destroy.
30. What does the example of Chagee’s tea lattes show
A. Price matters most to consumers. B. Cheap local brands are popular in China.
C. Some local brands achieve high pricing. D. Chinese tea chains outperform foreign ones.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Pop Mart: A Symbol of Chinese Toys
B. Why Milk Tea Brands Are Popular in China
C. From Foreign Trends to Local Love: Chinese Brands Shine
D. The History of Chinese Luxury Brands

It can be fun to hear a catchy tune (曲调) in your head — until that tune begins to play over and over again! Songs that get stuck in our brain are called earworms. An earworm can stay in your head after you listen to the tune play out loud. But it can also occur if something makes you remember the song — like visiting the place where you first heard it.
Scientists have studied earworms for years. They have found that some tunes are more likely to stay in your head than others. For example, earworms are often faster, have an easy-to-remember melody (旋律), and have special changes in pitch (音高).
By examining brain scans, scientists have learned what happens in your head when you have an earworm. When you hear music—or even imagine hearing it—part of the brain called the auditory cortex (听觉皮层) becomes active. This part processes sounds and sends messages to other parts of the brain connected to memory and feelings. Some scientists think your brain can keep sending these signals for a short time, which causes the song to repeat in your mind.
What would cause the human brain to repeat the same song in the first place Scientists are still not sure. But long ago, before writing was invented, we passed information through songs. So, we may have developed a habit of keeping music in our heads to help remember important information.
Whatever the reason, when a tune gets stuck, it can be really annoying! Luckily, there may be ways to get rid of an earworm. You can listen to another song or do a puzzle to stop yourself from concentrating on it. Or try chewing gum, which affects how your brain remembers music. Even if you do nothing, a stuck song will eventually go away on its own. Now, that must be music to your ears!
32. What is an “earworm” according to the text
A. A real insect that lives in human ears.
B. A tool scientists use to study memory.
C. A type of brain disease affecting the auditory cortex.
D. A song that repeats uncontrollably in one’s mind.
33. What feature makes a tune more likely become an earworm
A. It is slow and quiet. B. It is fast with catchy tunes.
C. It has no melody. D. It is very long.
34. According to the text, how can we free ourselves from an earworm
A. By listening to the same song repeatedly.
B. By keeping away from all kinds of music.
C. By doing activities that take our attention away.
D. By visiting the place where we first heard it.
35. What is your understanding of the last sentence
A. It’s good news. B. It’s hard to believe.
C. It’s an alarming fact. D. It’s an annoying message.

Learning with Short Videos: Tips for Students
Short videos are not just for fun — they can be great tools for learning. Many students use them to study English, science, or even history. But how can you make sure you learn well from them Here are some simple tips.
Choose the right videos
Not all short videos are good for learning. Look for ones made by teachers or educational channels. 36 For example, if you’re learning grammar, choose a video that explains just one rule at a time.
Watch with a goal
Before you press “play”, ask yourself: “What do I want to learn from this ” Maybe it’s a new English word or a math formula. 37 This helps you stay focused, not just watch passively.
Don’t watch too many at once
It’s easy to keep scrolling to the next video, but your brain needs time to take in the information. Watch 1-2 videos, then stop for a while. 38 You can also write down key points or explain what you learned to a friend.
Use subtitles (字幕)
Most learning videos have subtitles. Turn them on, especially for English videos. 39 You can read along and learn how words are spelled and used in sentences.
Practice what you learn
Watching is just the first step. To really learn, you need to practice. If a video teaches a new dance move, try it yourself. 40 This way, you’ll remember better and make the learning stick.
A. This helps you take in the knowledge more deeply.
B. They should be clear and not too fast.
C. If it’s a science experiment, try to do a simple version at home.
D. This makes it easier to follow, even if the speaker talks fast.
E. You can also use them to check your pronunciation.
F. Keep this question in your mind while watching.
G. Some videos can help you relax after a long day.

第二节 语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Earthquakes are a part of human history, but they 56 (become) much more dangerous and destructive recently as modern cities expand. Across the global continents, powerful seismic waves have swept across the land, 57 (bring) record-breaking damage to cities that rarely saw such extreme disasters. However, international 58 (architect) have discovered an unexpected hero in the fight against these crises: Sunmao, the ancient Chinese craft of interlocking wooden joints.
Traditionally, many overseas builders viewed Sunmao as 59 outdated technique because its complex carvings could cause construction delays. Yet, during recent simulation tests, researchers noticed something surprising. While neighboring concrete buildings 60 (destroy), structures where Sunmao was used remained standing and intact. These “ancient puzzles” create flexible connections 61 absorb shockwaves and create strong, shifting frames. These wooden parts act as natural shock absorbers, providing a safe shelter 62 urban residents when an earthquake strikes.
In an effort to protect modern cities, some global teams are now working 63 (introduce) Sunmao to regions that suffer from earthquakes easily. This culture-based solution is not only 64 (green) but also more resilient than many steel walls. Fortunately, this traditional craft is slowly recovering its global 65 (popular). Experts believe that by respecting these ancient designers and their work, we can build a better defence against the growing threat of natural disasters.

67. 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。
My love for dance began when I was very young and I would dream to be a star dancer from time to time. With the drama festival approaching, the school’s drama club had released a notice for the dancer audition (试镜) for The Twelve Dancing Princesses. And of course I was the first one to sign up.
As I left the stage after my audition at school, I could feel it. The power. The future. I knew that someday when dancers’ magazines wrote about me, they would say this moment was when my rise to a star began.
My ballet slippers hurt my feet, but I figured that was helpful. In The Twelve Dancing Princesses, the princesses danced all night so they probably had foot pain, too. My performance was more genuine because of my pain. I needed to show my devotion even when I wasn’t on stage, so I approached Mr. Ellison, the drama club advisor. He told me that casting (角色分配) will be posted tomorrow.“ Thank you, sir,” I said, using the almost British pronunciation of Hollywood stars in the 1940s. I was so sure that Mr. Ellison would cast me as a princess.
The next morning, I went to read the cast list. The twelve princesses were first, by number. I scanned from One to Twelve, but none by me. At the bottom of the casting list, my name finally appeared. My role was a really small one, an old woman who helped a soldier, not one of the princesses! I was desperately disappointed. Mr. Ellison must have made a mistake! No one else in the school had my skills or preparation!.
I found him in his classroom, but he insisted there was no mistake and emphasized that every role in a play was important. Unable to accept the fact, I burst into tears. Mr. Ellison managed to calm me down and encouraged me to have a try in the rehearsal (排练).
注意：1. 续写词数应为 150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next day, I dragged myself to the rehearsal.

Text 1
M: I’m considering Tim for the next headmaster position. He’s been a reliable assistant.
W: He is nice. But he’s better as a teacher than as a manager.
Text 2
M: I volunteered at the community kitchen today.
W: Your shirt is covered in dust.
M: Yeah, I was packing rice and beans. We helped sort out meals for 100 people.
Text 3
W: Can you drive a bit faster, please I have an appointment with the dentist at 10:35 a. m. And it’s already a quarter past ten.
M: I’m doing my best, madam, but I’m not going to break the law for you. It might take another 10 minutes.
Text 4
M: Barbara, do you want to play table tennis with us tonight
W: I’d love to, but I can’t. I’m catching the last train to Denver to see my grandma. I need to take her to visit a doctor tomorrow morning.
Text 5
W: I can’t wait for the school art festival. I will perform a dance. What about you, Peter
M: I will show my paintings, but I’m so nervous. There are so many talented students.
Text 6
W: What are you doing, Steve It’s a red light!
M: It’s already ten to nine. The match starts at nine five. We don’t have time.
W: That still doesn’t mean you can cross the street against the light.
M: Fine. You know they recently passed a law in New York City allowing people to cross the street without following traffic signals.
W: What
M: It’s to solve the problem of unfair traffic tickets. Surveys showed that minorities always got more tickets than others in the past.
W: Okay, I hope it doesn’t lead to more accidents. Oh, the light’s green. Let’s go.
Text 7
M: What a lovely vase! And the table looks perfect with the tablecloth. You really have good taste. Where did you find them
W: Thanks. The table was a housewarming gift from my friend. Since I couldn’t find a suitable tablecloth, I bought a piece of material online and made one myself. As for the vase, I got it at a second-hand market. And it cost only 20 yuan.
M: It’s such a great deal! The vase looks as good as new. What else does the market sell
W: Everything you could think of—clothes, shoes, books, and so on.
M: Good! I’ll go there and get a cap to match my new jacket.
W: Then let’s go there together. I also need a painting for my living room.

W: Bob, you are blinking all the time. What’s wrong
M: I can’t see the words on the board very clearly these days.
W: Do you have a pair of glasses
M: Yeah, but I only wear them when I really need to.
W: I think your eyesight has gotten worse. You need to get a pair of stronger glasses.
M: I’m glad to hear that. I was worried it was something more serious, like a bad eye disease.
W: Don’t worry. It’s nothing serious. Besides, you’d better wear glasses all the time.
M: My father always tells me to do that too. He says it’s good for my eyes, but I just feel dizzy and uncomfortable when I keep them on. Anyway, can I leave earlier this afternoon to have an eye test
W: Yes, of course.
Text 9
M: Good evening. Joining us today is Dr. Jenny, an enthusiastic birdwatcher. Welcome!
W: Thanks. I’m honored to speak for our city’s little birds through this radio. As we’ve cut down nearby forests, many birds are moving into the city.
M: Really Where do they usually settle down
W: Mostly behind large advertisement boards on tall poles. These poles are just like trees—safe from ground dangers. Surprisingly, over five or six species often live together at one spot.
M: Fascinating! Do we know much about their urban life
W: Not at all. There’s a complete lack of consistent monitoring on their eating habits, diseases, or death rates. That’s why I stress a research program must be started immediately.
M: Sounds urgent. But scientific research takes time and money.
W: True. It would be convenient and efficient to employ local birdwatchers to do the initial studies.
M: Good idea. Thanks for your time.
Text 10
M: Good morning, everyone. I’m Sarah from the UK, and I will teach you English writing this term. Before we start, I’d like to tell you something about myself. When I was little, I enjoyed reading storybooks rather than playing baseball or taking dance lessons.
After I started school, I valued reading time very much. Once, I tied one end of a string to a book and the other around my waist. Then I climbed a tree and sat among the branches reading until dinnertime.
In college, I originally planned to major in law or history. But after attending my first literature lecture, I felt the calling to be an English major and spent my school days with Shakespeare alongside me.
After graduation, I taught at a primary school in London for five years.
Later, I moved to Canada and worked as a book editor.
Three years ago, I came to China and have been teaching English in middle schools ever since.
I love my job. I am grateful for the power of words—they bring us warmth, connection, and endless opportunities to learn.

I am Li Hua, presently studying in Class one, Grade two. At the sight of the thrilling news that the Science Club is recruiting new members, I can't resist my impulse to submit my application.
Since an early age I have been a science enthusiast and determined to choose science as my life-long career. Science club can't be more appealing to me not only because it will provide me with an excellent platform to apply my scientific theories to practice but also because it can expose me to the frontier in this field through various activities. Moreover, I am convinced that I will do my own part in serving the club once selected. With a sound knowledge of experimental skills, I am capable of helping other members with experiment processes.
I will appreciate it if my application can meet with your favorable consideration. Expecting your early reply.

The next day, I dragged myself to the rehearsal. Unwilling to play such an insignificant role, I practiced dancing absent-mindedly. Noticing my behavior, Mr. Ellison walked towards me, stroked my hair and murmured words of encouragement, “Every role matters.” His words echoed in my mind. As I watched the other dancers throwing themselves into the performance, a new perspective gradually emerged in my mind. Over the following days, I channeled my energy into the rehearsals heart and soul and my performance improved steadily. With growing confidence, the unwillingness I once felt gradually gave way to eager anticipation.
Finally, the great day arrived and “the old woman” couldn’t wait to get on stage. Drawing strength from the countless hours of practice, Mr. Ellison’s encouragement, and my passion for dance, I stepped onto the stage, enveloped in the glow of the lights. With the slow, slightly stooped grace of an aged woman, I danced each step steadily and delivered my lines with my voice trembling, holding their attention completely during my short scene. I really enjoyed the moment by turning a small role into a big one. After the show, Mr. Ellison showered me with praise for my performance. Only then did I realize that every role, no matter how small, is an opportunity to shine.
