第二部分 閱讀（共兩節，滿分45分）
第一節（共10小題；每小題3分，滿分30分）
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中選出最佳選項。
A
Cao Heyuan from Xiangcheng High-tech Zone in Suzhou City has raised 30 tonnes of supplies donated by local enterprises to support relief efforts in Dingri County in the city of Xigaze, southwest China’s Xizang Autonomous Region, which was struck by a magnitude 6.8 earthquake on January 7.
On the evening of January 8, Cao oversaw the loading of the supplies onto vehicles at a wholesale market in Chengguan District, Lhasa. In an interview, she appeared to be slightly breathless due to high altitude sickness.
“I heard the news of the earthquake yesterday morning while on a business trip. Such emergencies require assistance from those familiar with the situation, so I immediately contacted Wang Shunli, a friend who regularly assists communities in Xizang, and then we contacted businesses in Suzhou and raised 400,000 yuan in donations,” she explained.
The supplies included barley flour, tsamba (the most popular food in Xizang), heaters, pressure cookers, cotton quilts, and coats. Cao said that the current local temperature is around minus 20 degrees Celsius, and it’s also difficult to start fires on the plateau. Therefore, the purchased (購買) items needed to be practical and useful.
Cao also mentioned that the wholesale market was packed with vehicles from all over the country. Several Lhasa students, who had previously received support from Wang, also volunteered to help load the supplies.
1. Why did Cao Heyuan choose to purchase the specific supplies mentioned in the passage
A. Because they are easy to transport. B. Because they are suitable for the disaster area.
C. Because they are easy to collect in Suzhou. D. Because they are the most popular local items.
2. What can we infer from the passage
A. Wang Shunli regularly works and lives in a community in Xizang.
B The earthquake didn’t cause much damage.
C. People from all over the country cared about the affected area.
D. Students from all over the country volunteered to help.
3. Where is this article most likely from
A. A news website. B. A geography magazine.
C. A travel guidebook. D. A scientific research journal.
B
Frightening as monsters (怪獸) are, they have always attracted us. From strange combinations of animals to magical beings, creatures have emerged from our imaginations throughout history. Today, they still frequent our cinema screens. Considering how scared we can be of monsters, it seems paradoxical that we keep making them. In fact, there is science behind our love of monsters.
Monsters are imaginary creatures that come from our long history of living with predators (捕食者). Snakes, for example, were among our ancestors’ (祖先) first deadly threats, causing them to develop snake-responsive neurons in their brains. This adaptation allowed them to recognize snakes with just a quick look. That is why we get a thrill seeing snake-like monsters on the screen.
Similarly, our ancestors’ minds were shaped by the need to spot bears, lions and other larger predators in tough environments. With their long teeth and giant claws, these animals have seized our imaginations, appearing in cave paintings over thousands of years, and then on modern screens.
There are psychological benefits to being frightened by monsters. Scary stories with terrifying creatures activate the amygdala, the brain’s fear center, which releases adrenaline (腎上腺素). With the story ending in safety, adrenaline levels drop, bringing chemicals that fuel the feeling of relaxation. Such controlled fear experience might help us to manage long-term stress or increase our pain tolerance. As a result, some people with anxiety enjoy watching horror films before bed.
The monsters we create today for films and books reflect our deepest fears — whether it’s Godzilla threatening civilization, or aliens growing within us. By understanding our monsters and why we make them, we can learn a great deal about what is going on under the surface of our minds.
4. Which word can replace the underlined word “paradoxical” in paragraph 1
A. Unnecessary. B. Frightening.
C. Predictable. D. Unreasonable.
5. What is the purpose of paragraphs 2 and 3
A. To show the origin of monsters. B. To compare different deadly creatures.
C. To honour the wisdom of our ancestors. D. To introduce dangerous animals on screens.
6. How does watching a horror film benefit people with anxiety
A. It helps people to fight against fear. B. It helps people forget anxious experiences.
C. It helps people feel relaxed with its safe ending. D. It helps people learn how to escape from dangers.
7. What is the author’s attitude towards our love of monsters
A. Critical. B. Uncertain. C. Supportive. D. Indifferent.
C
While walking through a famous school, I overheard a conversation between a preschool teacher and her young student. “Do not step on the ants,” she warned, “we shouldn’t kill ants.” The teacher’s intention was clear: to develop a sense of sympathy and respect for all living beings. But what happens when this child goes home and witnesses his mum using ant spray (噴劑) Is it possible that we’ re confusing our children with mixed messages
This seemingly harmless example shows the complexity of moral teachings. Teaching children through absolute rules can easily lead to black-and-white thinking. In psychology, this is known as “all-or-nothing” cognition (認知), which narrows complex realities into oversimplified extremes. While this form of thinking might make ideas easier to understand for young minds, it risks creating cognitive problems later in life such as anxiety, depression, or stress, resulting from the inability to understand and accept the contradictions (矛盾) and complexities that life unavoidably presents.
Rather than teaching absolute rules, encouraging children to consider context is more beneficial. For instance, in the case of the ant problem, the teacher could engage the child in a dialogue: “Why do you think it might be wrong to step on ants Can you think of any situations where it might be necessary ” This conversation can lead to discussions about the value of life, the importance of coexistence, and the practical aspects of health and cleanliness. Such conversations prepare children for the situations they might encounter later, allowing them to make better-informed decisions.
By engaging children in thoughtful dialogue, presenting them with varied angles (角度),and encouraging them to consider many aspects of a situation, we provide them with the tools they need to understand and handle a world far more complex than black and white. After all, life rarely fits neatly into boxes, and neither should our thinking.
8. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about black-and-white thinking
A. Its causes. B. Its advantages. C. Its complexities. D. Its effects.
9. What does the author suggest people do
A. Protect children from the complex reality. B. Encourage children to think from different aspects.
C. Engage children in simple situations. D. Teach children to respect the value of life.
10. Why do children need to see beyond black and white
A. To adapt well to the real world. B. To make life neatly fit into boxes.
C. To become responsible individuals. D. To learn the importance of coexistence.

47. 閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫一段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
In the crowded hallways of Maplewood High, Mia and Leo were the epitome (縮影) of best friends. They shared secrets, exchanged snacks, and even completed each other’s sentences. But one autumn afternoon, their friendship faced its first real test.
Leo, ever the free spirit, cornered Mia after a maths class. “Hey, want to skip music class and check out the new skate park ” she asked, her eyes sparkling with mischief (惡作劇). “I’ll help you catch up on homework later!”
Mia’s stomach tightened. She had promised her mom to use that time to practice her violin for the upcoming concert. “I can’ t, Leo,” she said, her voice steady but with regret. “I really need to practice.”
For a moment, Leo’s expression froze. “You always say no,” she snapped, storming off. The bell rang, and Mia watched her disappear into the crowd, her heart heavy.
The next few days were awkward. Leo no longer spoke to Mia, and their usual laughter was replaced by tense silence. Leo remembered the countless afternoons they had spent together, laughing and sharing stories, their friendship as strong and unbreakable as the bond between two halves of a whole. But now, it felt like something had come between them, something that threatened to tear them apart.
Mia didn’t feel better than Leo. When she saw Leo coming and going alone, a wave of guilt washed over her. She knew Leo felt left out, and she hated that their friendship was suffering because of it. But she also believed that friendship needed a boundary (邊界), and sometimes everyone had to make tough choices. She wished Leo could understand it, but she didn’t have the courage to start a conversation with Leo.
One day after school, Mia sat alone in the school music room, practicing a difficult piece. There was only two days before the concert. Her fingers moved on the violin strings, but she couldn’t make the perfect tune that she was satisfied with.
注意：
1.續寫詞數應為100左右；
2.請按如下格式在答題卡的相應位置作答。
At that time, Leo knocked on the door and walked in.

Volunteering at Sunshine Special School
I have recently participated in a volunteer activity at Sunshine Special School. Every Saturday, I help children with blindness improve their English. Though they face challenges, their enthusiasm to learn touches me deeply. One rainy afternoon, I taught them to sing “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” in English. Their joyous voices filled the classroom, and a girl named Lily even shared her dream of becoming a translator. The school’s headmaster praised my efforts, saying “Your presence brightened their world.”
Through interactions with the kids, I’ve learned that volunteering here isn’t just about teaching; it’s about building bridges of understanding. I’m proud to share this experience in our school’ s English newspaper, hoping to inspire more of you to join me and make a difference to the children in need.

47. 閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫一段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
In the crowded hallways of Maplewood High, Mia and Leo were the epitome (縮影) of best friends. They shared secrets, exchanged snacks, and even completed each other’s sentences. But one autumn afternoon, their friendship faced its first real test.
Leo, ever the free spirit, cornered Mia after a maths class. “Hey, want to skip music class and check out the new skate park ” she asked, her eyes sparkling with mischief (惡作劇). “I’ll help you catch up on homework later!”
Mia’s stomach tightened. She had promised her mom to use that time to practice her violin for the upcoming concert. “I can’ t, Leo,” she said, her voice steady but with regret. “I really need to practice.”
For a moment, Leo’s expression froze. “You always say no,” she snapped, storming off. The bell rang, and Mia watched her disappear into the crowd, her heart heavy.
The next few days were awkward. Leo no longer spoke to Mia, and their usual laughter was replaced by tense silence. Leo remembered the countless afternoons they had spent together, laughing and sharing stories, their friendship as strong and unbreakable as the bond between two halves of a whole. But now, it felt like something had come between them, something that threatened to tear them apart.
Mia didn’t feel better than Leo. When she saw Leo coming and going alone, a wave of guilt washed over her. She knew Leo felt left out, and she hated that their friendship was suffering because of it. But she also believed that friendship needed a boundary (邊界), and sometimes everyone had to make tough choices. She wished Leo could understand it, but she didn’t have the courage to start a conversation with Leo.
One day after school, Mia sat alone in the school music room, practicing a difficult piece. There was only two days before the concert. Her fingers moved on the violin strings, but she couldn’t make the perfect tune that she was satisfied with.
注意：
1.續寫詞數應為100左右；
2.請按如下格式在答題卡的相應位置作答。
At that time, Leo knocked on the door and walked in.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】one possible version:
At that time, Leo knocked on the door and walked in. The music stopped and Mia looked up, her eyes meeting Leo’ s, which were filled with a mix of frustration and longing. “I miss you,” Leo broke the silence, her voice barely above a whisper. “I miss us.” Mia’ s heart ached, her fingers trembling slightly as she placed the violin down. She mentioned her mom had been working so hard to support her and how much the concert meant to her. She couldn’t just drop everything for fun. Leo’s expression softened. “I get that,” she said quietly, “I just... I ignored that we needed to set a boundary.” “Then let’s create a balance between us,” Mia suggested, not hiding her excitement. “Yes. You have your practice time, and we can hang out on weekends,” said Leo. They hugged each other, a new understanding binding them. Then again, the beautiful melody echoed in the music room, with Leo as a loyal listener this time.
