阅读下列短文，从短文后每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出

A
Many teenagers today complain that they are too busy with schoolwork to have
any free time. However, recent studies by child psychologists (心理学家) show that
taking up a hobby is not just about having fun; it is actually necessary for a healthy
brain. How can a hobby improve your life
Take 14-year-old Li Hua as an example. After a long week of stressful exams, he
used to sit in front of the TV for hours. He felt tired but couldn't fall asleep. Then, his
father suggested he try playing basketball. "At first, I thought it was a waste of time,"
Li Hua says. "But when I am running on the court, I forget all my worries. I feel
energetic and focused the next day."
Hobbies don't have to be physical. Mary, a quiet girl, collects stamps. She says,
"Every stamp tells a story. When I look at my collection, I travel to different countries
in my mind. It makes me feel peaceful." Another student, Jack, enjoys building model
robots. He explains, "When I connect the wires (电线) and fix the small parts, I have
to focus completely. It teaches me patience."
According to experts, the best hobby is the one that makes you feel relaxed. It
doesn't matter whether it is active or quiet. What matters is that you set aside (留出)
some time just for yourself. So, put down your textbook for a moment and find
something you love doing.
1. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph
1
A. To introduce the history of hobbies.

2. How did Li Hua feel after he started playing basketball
A. He felt even more tired than before.
B. He found it was a waste of time.
C. He felt energetic and focused.
D. He still couldn't sleep at night.
3. What do Mary and Jack have in common according to the passage

C. They both want to travel around the world.

B
Most of my classmates spent their summer vacations traveling to famous places.
However, my family's plan had to change because something unexpected happened. I
stayed at home for two weeks, feeling very disappointed. "This will be the most
boring holiday ever," I thought.
My mom noticed my low spirits and said, "Why not be a tourist in our own
city " I shrugged (耸肩), but with nothing else to do, I agreed. We looked everywhere
at home and dug out an old travel book in a box. Then I made a plan.
The next day, we visited the city museum that I hadn't been to since primary
school. To my surprise, the new history show was fascinating. The next day, we
explored a beautiful park of the city. We had a picnic and flew kites. We even took a
cycling tour along the river. I never thought I would do it one day. I took photos of
famous buildings and tried street food I didn't notice before. I discovered special cafes
and interesting small shops in old streets.
2
I learned to see my city in a new way. I didn't need to go far to explore. I realized
that a "staycation" (宅度假) could be as enjoyable as going away, and it was certainly
cheaper and more relaxing. It taught me that where to spend vacation doesn't matter,
but your thought matters.

6. What does "dug out" probably mean in the article
A. Listed. B. Stored. C. Found. D. Borrowed.
7. What changed the writer's opinion about vacation
A. Exploring her own city.
B. Reading the travel book.
C. Her mother's travel stories.
D. Staying at home doing nothing.

7:00 PM, Friday
The school sports meet was just two days away. I was practicing running the
800-meter race on the track. My biggest rival, Alex, was also there. We hadn't spoken
to each other all term because we were always competing for first place. I was
running faster than ever, trying to beat my own record, when suddenly I felt a sharp
3
pain in my ankle (脚踝 ). I fell heavily onto the track. The pain was so bad that I
couldn't stand up.
7:10 PM, Friday
My coach ran over with a worried look. "Are you OK, Ben " he asked. Alex
stopped his training and walked over. I thought he would laugh at me because I was
hurt and couldn't race. But instead, he knelt down (蹲下) and carefully checked my
ankle. "It looks swollen (肿胀的)," he said. "Let's help him to the clinic (医务室)."
7:30 PM, Friday
The doctor said I had sprained (扭伤 ) my ankle and must rest for at least two
weeks. I was heartbroken. I had trained so hard, and now I would miss the most
important race of the year. Alex sat beside me. He said, "Ben, you are the strongest
runner I know. Don't let this stop you. You'll come back stronger next year."
9:00 AM, Sunday (The Race Day)
The 800-meter race was about to start. I was standing by the track with crutches
(拐杖), feeling sad. To my surprise, Alex walked up to me. "I'm going to run this race
for both of us," he said. "I will try to win, and I will give the medal to you because
you are my greatest opponent." As the starting gun went off, I cheered for him as
loudly as I could.

Have you ever wondered what lies beneath the surface of the ocean We
interviewed Dr. Smith, a deep-sea researcher, to find out about the wonders of the
deep ocean.
Q: Why do we explore the deep sea
Dr. Smith: The deep sea is the largest habitat (栖息地) on Earth, covering about
70% of our planet. However, we know less about it than we know about the surface of
Mars! Exploring it can help us find new species (物种), understand the history of our
Earth, and even discover new medicines. It is one of the last true wild places on Earth.
Q: What is the environment like down there
Dr. Smith: It is completely dark because sunlight cannot reach deeper than 200
meters. It is also very cold, usually between 0 and 4 degrees Celsius. Most
importantly, the pressure (压力) is incredibly high. If you went down there without a
special submarine (潜水艇), the pressure would crush you like a soda can.
Q: How do animals survive in such a dark and cold place
Dr. Smith: Deep-sea creatures have amazing ways to survive. Since they can't
see well, many use special chemicals (化学物质) to make their own light. We call this
"bioluminescence" (生物发光). They use this light to attract food or find mates. Also,
5
because there is no sunlight, plants can't grow. Instead of eating plants, many deep-sea
animals are predators (食肉动物 ) or they eat "marine snow"—dead things falling
from above.
Q: Is deep-sea exploration dangerous
Dr. Smith: Yes, it is. The high pressure and cold temperatures make it difficult
for both humans and machines. We often send unmanned (无人的) robots to do the
exploration. But I still go down in submersibles sometimes. It is a scary but truly
amazing experience. When you see a glowing jellyfish swim past your window, you
feel like you are on another planet.
12. What can we infer from Dr. Smith's words about the submersibles used in
deep-sea exploration
A. They are only used by scientists who study the surface of Mars.
B. They must be specially designed to withstand great pressure and cold.
C. They are no longer needed because robots can do all the exploration.
D. They can only dive to a depth of less than 200 meters without any light.
13. Why do deep-sea creatures use bioluminescence
A. To help plants grow in the dark.
B. To get rid of the high pressure.
C. To find food and mates.
D. To warm themselves up.
14. What does the underlined word "crush" in the passage probably mean
A. Save. B. Press heavily. C. Protect. D. Feed.
15. Which of the following is TRUE about deep-sea exploration
A. It is completely safe for humans.
B. We know more about the deep sea than about Mars.
C. Humans never go down in submersibles because it's too dangerous.
D. Researchers often use robots because the environment is too harsh (恶劣的).

Aloe Vera can also go with other vegetables to make a safe dish on your dinner table.
Aloe Vera plants are very easy to take care of. They like dry, warm air, so they
grow best near a window. 20 So, they do not need watering so often as most
houseplants. When watering, make sure the earth is wet enough so that it can last for a
long time. That's all you need to do to take care of an Aloe Vera plant.

I was thirteen when I learnt a mistake could be changed into something else.
That spring, I was asked to 21 the backdrop (背景幕布) for the school play. Two
days later, I finished a perfect blue sky with soft white clouds. I stood back, pleased
with myself—22 my brush slipped (滑落). A long, 23 brown line cut straight across
the sky like a scar (疤痕).
My heart dropped. There was no time to start again. I stood 24, looking at my
failure, when my art teacher walked over. She didn't say a word. 25, she picked up a
brush and turned that brown line into the trunk (树干) of a tall tree. Then she added
leaves, and two small birds resting among them.
What had been a scarred 26 suddenly became a landscape—peaceful, deep, and
fantastic. The mistake saved the painting from being a common one!
That moment stayed with me. I later learnt that some of the world's best 27 began
as accidents, like penicillin (青霉素) or the microwave. But the real 28 of a mistake is
not just what it becomes, but what it does to you. It forces you to stop, to look again,
and to try something you never 29.
Now, whenever I 30 a difficult or unpleasant situation—in a test, in a friendship,
or in something I build — I try not to freeze. I remind myself: This could be a bend
(拐弯) in the road, not the end. It's just a door you haven't opened yet.
21. A. repair B. paint C. control D. hang
22. A. until B. if C. though D. because
23. A. pleasant B. dangerous C. warm D. ugly
24. A. excited B. frozen C. patient D. bored
25. A. So B. Otherwise C. Instead D. Moreover
26. A. sky B. brush C. cloud D. tree

Life is not easy, so I'd like to say, "When something happens, believe in 31
(you)."
When I was 14, I was too nervous to talk to anyone. My classmates often
laughed at me. I was sad but couldn't do anything. Later, something 32 (happen). It
changed my life. It was an English speech contest. My mother asked me to take part
in it.
What a terrible idea! It meant I had to speak in front of all the teachers and
students of my school! "Come on, boy. You have the 33 (able) to win." Then my
mother 34 I talked about many different topics. At last I chose 35 topic "Be Your Own
Biggest Supporter". I tried my best to remember all the speech and practiced it over
100 times. With my 36 (mother) love, I did well in the contest. I could hardly believe
my ears 37 the news came that I had won the first place. I heard the cheers 38 the
teachers and students. Those classmates who once looked down on me now all said
"Congratulations!" to me. My mother hugged me and cried 39 (happy).

myself to be sure and I will find myself.

第一节 阅读表达（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）
阅读下面短文，完成短文后的问题。
I find myself speaking words of comfort and offering support easily. These
words are of some help to others and to myself as well.
When I talk to someone in trouble, I say things I wish someone had said to me. I
tell them to stay strong, keep going, and things will get better. These are the words I
need to hear when I face my own challenges. Encouraging others makes me feel able
to solve my own problems. When I give advice, I feel that the worries in my mind
seem to go away when I focus on someone else's needs. I realize that helping others is
a powerful way to help deal with my own problems. When I listen to others, it helps
me see my life from a different viewpoint. I understand that the strength and hope I
give to others are also within me.
I often wonder why it's easy to give advice but hard to apply it to my own life.
Maybe it's because we are our own worst critics (评论家 ). We doubt ourselves but
believe in others. These moments teach me that everyone struggles (抗争 ) in their
own way, and we all have the power to lift each other up. The words I share are not
just for others; they are for me too. They make me know that I am not alone, I am
strong, and I can get through my difficulties.
The advice I give others shows my deepest hopes. It's a way to connect with
others and myself, and we can find power in shared experiences. So, I continue to say
the words I wish to hear, knowing they have the power to heal (治愈) and encourage
both others and myself.
