Here are a few must-see waterfalls in the country. Otuihau Whangarei Falls Just a 20-minute drive from the city center, this waterfall is a dramatic 26-meter curtain waterfall. It flows into a clear pool and is particularly wonderful after heavy rain. A well-maintained walking track leads to many viewpoints, including a bridge that allows visitors to view the waterfall from different angles. It’s also a popular spot for picnics and swimming. Waireinga Bridal Veil Falls Located in the Waireinga Scenic Reserve, this waterfall is a breathtaking sight. The Pakoka River falls 55 meters into a native forest. The waterfall is surrounded by tawa trees, and a wheelchair-friendly track leads visitors to various viewing points. The waterfall is considered scared, with local traditions saying it is guarded by fairies (精灵). Waiau Falls This waterfall, located in a distant part of Peninsula, is one of New Zealand’s hidden jewels. The waterfall drops 6 meters into a natural pool, perfect for a refreshing swim. The short track to the waterfall is an easy walk, and nearby, you can explore a beautiful group of ancient kauri trees, some over 600 years old. Taranaki Falls It is an impressive 20-meter waterfall located in Tongariro National Park. The waterfall runs over an ancient lava flow from Mount Ruapehu, creating a striking contrast of water and volcanic rock. The walking track around the waterfall offers views of mountain plants, native birds, and amazing volcanic landscapes. The path is in excellent condition, though you may experience some mud in winter. 21. Which waterfall has the highest drop? A. Otuihau Whangarei Falls. B. Waireinga Bridal Veil Falls. C. Waiau Falls.

Its short walking distance. D. Its wheelchair-friendly track. B “If you have ever suffered for my sweetness, I am willing to live as your wish. May it not be in vain, may we move forward bravely, in this prosperous world every day...” The song As You Wish resonated (回荡) in front of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests at the Temple of Heaven. However, passersby were surprised to find that the performers of this Chinese song were a children’s choir from the US called One Voice Children’s Choir. After the final performance of their China tour, One Voice founder Masa Fukuda said that he felt much honored to receive so much attention. He stated that everyone in the choir had a wonderful experience in China. Fukuda believes that despite cultural differences, everyone can relate to the same messages. Fukuda explained that One Voice was just singing for fun at the Temple of Heaven at that time. Once they started singing, many people gathered around, and the video later spread on social media. Fukuda was very surprised to learn that the video had received over a million likes. “I believe As You Wish is a song that ties people together,” said Fukuda. “Although our cultures may be different, there is so much that we can all relate to those same messages. I hope that no matter what people are going through, the content conveyed by the song will touch and inspire them.” During the final performance, Fukuda and the children couldn’t help but cry while continuously waving goodbye to the Chinese audience. “This is our last performance in China. The warm welcome from the Chinese people moved us deeply, touching our hearts and making every child cry. We love China and we love the Chinese people.” 24. Where did the One Voice Children’s Choir perform the song As You Wish? A. In a virtual choir. B. At the Temple of Heaven. C. On a television show. D. In front of a meeting hall. 25.

C Students who are able to understand and manage their emotions more effectively, a skill known as emotional intelligence, do better at school than their less skilled classmates, according to recent research. Carolyn MacCann of Sydney University, author of the study, analyzed (分析) data from over 160 studies, including over 42,000 students from 27 countries. “Although we know that high intelligence and a conscientious nature are necessary for academic success, our research highlights a third factor, emotional intelligence,” said MacCann. “Simply being smart and putting in a lot of effort may not be enough. Students must also be able to understand and manage their emotions.” MacCann suggests that students with higher emotional intelligence may be better able to manage anxiety, boredom, disappointment, and other emotions that can damage academic performance. “Also, these students may be better able to manage the social world around them, forming better relationships with teachers, classmates, and family,” she said. Additionally, the skills required for emotional intelligence may be the same with the skills required to master certain subjects. As an example, MacCann mentioned a student named Kelly, who is good at math and science but low in emotional intelligence. She has difficulty seeing when others are worried or sad, and she does not know what to do to control her own feelings. As a result, Kelly does not recognize that her best friend, Lucia, is having a bad day, making Luciamad at her. Lucia then does not help Kelly (as she usually does) to analyze the characters in plays in English literature class, a class in which Kelly often struggles. “Kelly feels ashamed that she can’t do the work that other students seem to find easy. She is also upset that Lucia is mad at her. She can’t shake these feelings, and she is not able to concentrate on her math problems in the next class,” said MacCann. “Because of her low emotion management ability, Kelly cannot get back from her emotions.” 28. What does the underlined word “conscientious” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Hard-working. B. Self-aware. C. Ambitious. D. Brave. 29. What is the function of paragraph 3? A. To define emotional intelligence in detail. B. To explain emotional intelligence’s impacts. C. To provide an example of students’ struggles. D. To show the link between personality and success. 30. Why does Kelly often struggle in English literature class? A. The content of the literature is too difficult. B. The literature knowledge is unfamiliar to her. C. Her social issues fail her in class discussion. D. She finds it hard to understand characters’ emotions. 31. What do we know about emotional intelligence from Kelly’s story? A. It is less effective in science subjects. B. It is important for students’ success. C. It prevents emotions from affecting students. D. It seems more important than strong friendships. D Nowadays, social running is popular in cities globally. Running clubs, which attracted competitive runners at first, have spread worldwide and now appeal to a broader audience for support, motivation, and friendship. The rise of social media and fitness apps has changed running clubs. Online platforms (平台) enable runners to connect, organize events, and track progress, making running more accessible. Running with others helps maintain a conversational pace and build a community. Danielle Burnett, leader of a running club, recently hosted her first group run. “At the start,people were chatting just a bit,” she says. “Then, when we came back, it felt like connections had been made. People were already talking about meeting up for runs later that week.” Rachel Goldberg, a marriage and family expert, has noticed that people are much more willing to open up during exercise. “If you are near somebody but not necessarily facing them eye to eye, you might just feel less threatened,” she says, “This can lead to deeper conversations and stronger connections and also a great way to break down social anxiety.” One reason for this may be that running stimulates (刺激) endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good chemicals. “They can make you feel less stressed, and everything around you starts to seem more positive,” says Goldberg. Additionally, keeping a conversational pace while running with friends offers unique physical benefits, too. Conversational running is often associated with Zone 2 training, which includes working out at an intensity (强度) of 60 to 70 percent of your maximum heart rate. “Doing low-intensity exercise builds patience so you’ll be able to go longer and further,” says Kristen, a running coach. “You’re also going to recover faster and reduce your risk of injuries.” 32. What has contributed to the changes of running clubs? A. The decrease in the number of runners. B. The development of digital platforms. C. The efforts of running club leaders. D. The popularity of running in rural areas. 33. What does Goldberg explain about social running? A. Its starting point. B. Its appeal for group runs. C. Its impact on physical fitness. D. Its role in social connection. 34. What advantage does Zone 2 training mainly offer? A. It develops the patience of runners. B. It improves the speed of running. C. It increases the intensity of exercise. D. It promotes the quick growth of muscles. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. The Popularity of Social Running B. The Benefits of Running Clubs C. Social Running: More Than Just a Workout D. Running Clubs: More Than a gathering place第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为 多余选项。 The music industry has undergone great changes over the past few decades due to technological advancements. 36 Music Creation Made Easy with Technology 37 Today, artists can create their music from home using softwares. The digital workstations such as Ableton or Logic Pro allow musicians to record and edit music on their computers, saving both time and money. With these tools, anyone with a computer can make music, whether they’re a professional artist or a beginner. The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Music Artificial intelligence (AI) is making waves in music creation. It can now help musicians write songs and and create tunes and mix tracks. Programs like Amper Music and AIVA assist in composing music to create original pieces. AI can help artists save time and come up with fresh ideas. 38 Will AI eventually replace musicians, or will it be a helpful tool for them to use? Music Education Through Technology Learning music has become easier thanks to technology. Apps and online platforms like YouTube, and Fender Play provide lessons for beginners and advanced musicians alike. These tools make learning more flexible. 39 Technology also helps teachers create interactive lessons, making music education more fun. The Role of Virtual Reality in Music Virtual reality (VR) is slowly becoming a part of the music world. With VR, fans can attend concerts in virtual spaces. 40 Some artists are even creating VR music videos, offering an immersive (沉浸式) experience.

They allow people to practice anytime and anywhere. C. Digital technology is playing a role in how music is made and enjoyed. D. They can experience the performance as if they were there in person. E. This method has made it easier for people to explore different music. F. In the past, recording music meant going to a studio and spending money.G.

I was standing in my mom’s bedroom with my unfinished math homework in my hand. “I can’t do it, Mom; I don’t understand it!” Although I couldn’t see clearly through my teary eyes, I could still sense my mom’s face was filled with concern. “Can I see your homework, honey?” As instructed, I slowly handed over the paper. After a short pause, she excitedly announced, “You got the fifth question right!” Shrugging my shoulders, I replied, “Yeah, but the rest are probably wrong.” Mom lifted my chin with a gentle hand and said, “Just because you got some answers wrong doesn’t make the answer you got right any less impressive!” As we stood in silence, she lightly held my shoulders and slowly turned me so I could see myself in the large mirror. “Now repeat after me!” Mom said in a kind but demanding voice, “I DID IT!” She paused as she waited for me to obey her. With a reassuring hand on my shoulder, Mom said, “You know that I went through, and still go through, the same hardships. But I know I’m competent, smart and successful and it’s so important that my daughter knows how intelligent she is. Now, let’s take a look at your homework.” Together we looked through and completed the math homework. After each problem we got right, I felt as if I had just won a huge victory. “Now, tomorrow when you are doing your math, I want you to take the problems one at a time and say ‘I DID IT!’ after completing each one. Okay?” said my mom. “Okay, I’ll try.”注意: 1. 续写词数应为150词左右; 2. 请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next day, I sat at my desk in front of my frightening math test.

I blocked out every question except the one at the top of my sheet. With my mom’s words ringing in my ears, I focused on one single question each time. Then I simply moved on to the next question, and the next, until eventually I had said “I DID IT!” so many times that I couldn’t help but believe that I had actually done something great! In the end, I handed in my test paper with a sigh of relief. Paragraph 2 As I walked through the school gate, I had a smile on my face. When Mom came to greet me with her usual hug, I raised my hands above my head in the champion’s pose, and with newfound confidence I announced, “I DID IT!” My mom and I both exchanged high fives excitedly. Did I get all the questions on my math test right? No. Did I work as fast as the other kids my age? No. But that wasn’t the point. The point was that I not only did my best, but I was able to congratulate myself for doing the best I could do! 听力录音原文Text 1 M: How do we spend this weekend? W: A weekend in the library will be good.

Text 10 Hi all, I have the chance to live in a village, near big forests. In the summer, when the weather is good, it’s always a pleasure to pick up mushrooms. They are tasty, and less expensive than the ones you can buy in stores. In this program, we will introduce some cautions for a nice mushroompicking session. First, you will need a basket to put the mushrooms. Don’t use a plastic bag, as you will break tender mushrooms. Next, if you plan to go in an unknown place, I really advise taking a mobile phone and some water. Also, try to not be alone. You don’t want to be lost alone in the woods, right? Then, if you are like me a “trained” mushroom hunter, you should already know the good spots. It’s always good to choose a nice forest,with a good tree cover. I don’t have the magical way to find a good place, just ask local people. Once you are in the forest, the mushrooms are typically into wet and darker spots. If you are lucky, you may find nice mushrooms! When picking, make sure you know the kind of mushrooms. In my case, I only take those with a very recognizable shape. Avoid brightly colored ones. Remember, don’t pull them, but cut them with a knife. You will leave the internal roots in the floor. It will allow the mushroom to grow up again. Leave those with smaller caps in place. Think about the other people, take only what you need.
