Last term, I joined the school’s traditional music club, where I met my best friend Lily and fell in love with
the guzheng. Knowing nothing about it at first, I even couldn’t tell the strings apart. Lily, a two-year guzheng
learner, volunteered to teach me patiently. She often brought her guzheng to school, showed me its structure,
explaining the function of each string and how they work together to produce beautiful sounds.
Every afternoon after school, we would practice in the music room for an hour. Lily taught me how to hold
the plectrum (琴拨) correctly and how to play basic notes. I made many mistakes at first, and sometimes I felt so
frustrated that I wanted to give up. But Lily always encouraged me, saying, “Practice makes perfect, and your
progress is obvious every day.” She even made a practice schedule for me, arranging 15 minutes for basic training
and 45 minutes for simple pieces, and she would sit beside me to correct my mistakes in time.
One month later, the club held a small performance. I was nervous to play in front of others, but Lily sat
beside me and gave me a reassuring smile. When I played the first note, all my tension disappeared. I played a
simple folk song, and the soft music moved everyone present. After the performance, our club teacher praised me
highly, saying I had made great progress in such a short time and that my playing was full of emotion.
Now, I can play several classic guzheng pieces skillfully. This experience not only let me know about
traditional Chinese music but also taught me the importance of persistence (坚持不懈) and friendship. I’m grateful
to Lily for her help and to the club for giving me such a precious chance to grow, which also made me more
confident in facing challenges in life.
24．What did Lily first do to help the author learn the guzheng?
A．She made a practice schedule for her.
B．She lent her own guzheng to the author.
C．She asked the club teacher for extra help.
D．She explained how the strings work together.
25．Why did the author want to give up learning the guzheng?
A．Her teacher was too strict with her.
B．She found it too difficult to learn well.
C．She had little time to practice after school.
D．She couldn’t get on well with club members.
26．How did the club teacher find the author’s performance?
A．Satisfying.
B．Interesting.
C．Disappointing.
D．Worrying.
27．What does the author’s experience show?
A．Talent alone leads to success in music.
B．Friendship matters more than anything else.
C．Playing an instrument requires patience only.
D．Hard work and friendship bring personal growth.
For gardeners who love neatness, autumn is a bit of a mixed blessing. Golden, autumn leaves look beautiful
at first, but they soon turn brown and mushy, making many people want to throw them away. However, gardening
and wildlife experts say this is unnecessary and even harmful.
To those so inclined (有倾向的), Jon Stokes, the director of the Tree Council, shares his experience. “It’s not
necessary. In 35 years of having a garden, I’ve never once swept a leaf, because I’ve never had to. They disappear
within a week because the earthworms get them. The garden is completely full of wildlife and my grass has never
suffered because of it,” he says. “Don’t take them away and drop them at the landfill, because you’ll have just taken
all that goodness out of your garden. If you can’t bear to leave them where they are, get the kids to kick them into a
corner, stick them in a pile, or let the hedgehogs (刺猬) and earthworms (蚯蚓) use them.”
While gardens covered with fallen leaves may look like a mess (脏乱) to humans, to wildlife they are a vital
source of nutrients and shelter. For an earthworm, a fallen leaf is a snack to be rolled up and pulled down into the
soil. For an elephant hawkmoth caterpillar, it is a roof under which to shelter until spring. For a hedgehog, it is a
bed to roll around in and turn into a nest. Even for a tree, the leafy covering is a source from which to “drink”
during dry periods.
Experts offer easy ways to balance neatness and nature. Oliver Fry from Surrey Wildlife Trust suggests
piling leaves in dry areas for hedgehogs or wet areas for frogs. Leave some leafcovered areas for insects, but keep
others tidy. If you hate rotting leaves, cut them into small pieces — worms will carry them away faster, boosting
the soil microorganisms.
Adrian Thomas from the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds stresses keeping leaves in the garden
instead of landfills. Every gardener’s small effort with leaves can help nature a lot. Leaves aren’t waste; they’re
free, natural helpers for healthy plants.
28．What does “a mixed blessing” imply in paragraph 1?
A．Gardening is fun but time-consuming.
B．Autumn is pleasant but heart-breaking.
C．Fallen leaves are beautiful but mess-making.
D．Wildlife is appealing but garden-harming.
29．What can be inferred about Jon Stokes from his words?
A．He values nature’s process.
B．He finds leaves damage grass.
C．He thinks worms harm grass.
D．He enjoys sweeping leaves.
30．According to Oliver Fry, what should we do with fallen leaves?
A．Throw them into landfills.
B．Place them in certain areas.
C．Sweep them away right away.
D．Leave them where they are entirely.
31．What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Feed the Fields
B．Warm the Worms
C．Guard the Gardens
D．Leave the Leaves
China is speeding up efforts to modernize its traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) industry, including
applying artificial intelligence (AI) to better R&D (research and development) and increase access to quality TCM
services, as policymakers seek to change the centuries-old industry into a technology-driven one with stronger
global reach.
According to the 2026 Government Work Report, the government stressed the significance of applying
modern technology to TCM development and strengthening the mix (混合体) of Chinese and western medical
practices. The push forms part of a broader modernization (现代化) strategy, which was issued earlier this year by
eight government departments.
“AI models can connect data across the entire industrial chain,” said Xiao Wei, an expert at the Chinese
Academy of Engineering. “Such digital tools could help solve long-standing challenges in the TCM industry,
including product standardization (标准化) and quality stability (稳定性),” he added.
AI is already being applied across different stages of the industry. Shijiazhuang Yiling Pharmaceutical Co.,
Ltd., for example, said AI-driven research projects have shortened drug research and development cycles by about
30 percent.
China is also seeking to expand the global reach of TCM products and services. As of July 2025, TCM was
practiced in 196 countries and regions, and China’s exports (出口) of TCM products reached $5.09 billion in 2025,
customs data showed.
Despite the modernization push, researchers say the industry still faces structural challenges, which continue
to limit broader global acceptance. “The next five years will be a key period for the development of China’s TCM
industry,” Guo Lanping, head of Institute of Chinese Materia Medica, said in an interview with Xinhua News
Agency. “With the implementation (执行) of the policy measures, the industry is expected to move further toward
higher quality and greater modernization,” she added.
32．How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1?
A．By asking a question.
B．By giving an example.
C．By presenting China’s goal.
D．By comparing opinions.
33．What is the main idea of paragraph 3 and paragraph 4?
A．AI increases TCM sales.
B．AI advances TCM.
C．TCM faces challenges.
D．TCM needs standards.
34．What can be inferred about the TCM industry from the last paragraph?
A．Its exports have stopped growing.
B．It has no more challenges to face.
C．It still needs to improve quality standards.
D．It has achieved full global acceptance.
35．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A．To discuss the challenges TCM faces.
B．To introduce AI-driven TCM modernization.
C．To argue against using technology in TCM.
D．To explain the long history of Chinese medicine.
How to Build Self-Confidence
Self-confidence is often misunderstood as something you either have or you don’t. In reality, it is a skill that
can be developed through practice. 36 The key lies not in avoiding challenges but in approaching them
with the right mindset.
One of the most effective ways to build confidence is to take action despite fear. Many people wait until they
feel ready before trying something new. 37 Confidence comes from doing, not from waiting. Don’t
hesitate to step out of your comfort zone.
38 The way you speak to yourself shapes your beliefs about your abilities. Negative self-talk
creates mental barriers that are hard to break. When you find yourself engaging in such thoughts, pause and
question their truth. Replace them with more balanced statements, such as “This is challenging, but I can improve
with practice.”
Another important factor is how you respond to failure. Those who lack confidence often view mistakes as
proof of their limitations. 39 So instead of seeing failure as your worth, treat it as learning. Ask
yourself: “What can I learn from this?” This shift (改变) turns setbacks (挫折) into stepping stones.
The people around you shape your self-perception greatly. Surrounding yourself with those who believe in
you and offer support makes hard times easier to deal with. However, always hearing negative words from others
can hurt your confidence, no matter how good you are. 40 .
Building confidence is not a destination but an ongoing process. Progress may feel slow, but each step
strengthens your ability to face new challenges.
A．Pay less attention to what you say to yourself.
B．The people around you can affect your confidence.
C．The good news is that you can actively strengthen it.
D．Those who succeed, however, see failure differently.
E．Your inner voice plays a major role in building confidence.
F．However, waiting for readiness often means waiting forever.
G．The people you spend time with matter more than you might think.

六、书面表达
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 friend Avery and I tried out for Alice in Wonderland several weeks ago. Avery really hoped she could
get picked to be Alice. I said, “You’d make a great Alice! I don’t care what part I get as long as I’m in it.” Then she
asked, “So you’d be happy to have a small part like the Dormouse?” I replied, “Exactly!”
A few days later, Avery and I raced over to the theatre office, where the director had posted the cast list.
“Wow!” said Avery. “You got the part of Alice and I got the part of the March Hare.”
“That can’t be right,” I said. “There must be some mistake!”
But I was really given the part of Alice. The reason why I’d done well during the audition (试镜) was that I
was not nervous at all, because I had never thought I could get the major role.
I asked her if she wanted to practise our lines after school. Avery responded, “You mean practise your lines?
No, thanks. I’m busy this week.” “OK. How about someday next week?” I asked. “Sorry,” she whispered, “I’m sure
I’m busy forever.”
That night at dinner, after my parents congratulated me on getting the lead role, they asked how I felt about
it.
“Well, I’m confused,” I said. “Avery was so upset that I was picked to be Alice. She threw away our
friendship.”
“Arizona, don’t you think this might be an opportunity for you to be an extra-good friend?” said my dad.
“Sometimes when our friends do well, we feel envious (嫉妒的) and don’t know how to act. Try giving her a little
time and understanding. I guess she’ll come around before long.”
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。
Over the next week, I did my best to give Avery some space.

and Actions of Youth.
The event will be organized from 2 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. on 17 August, at Can Tho University. OK. Now, let me
briefly tell you about the aims and activities at the event.
The event helps the young people to better understand the current issues at rivers in the Mekong Delta and
how climate change has influenced lives and communities. There will be many scientists, artists, lecturers, and
students who are keen on environmental issues. One unique aspect of the event is that the English language will be
used throughout, so you’ll have a chance to improve your English.
About the activities, greetings will go first, followed by reports from experts in the environment. You will
also have an opportunity to talk and make friends during tea break. Finally, a round-table discussion on how to
protect rivers will help you to speak out and share your ideas.
That’s so wonderful, right? At the end of the event, each of you will receive a certificate for attending the
conference from the organizers. Hope to see you at the event!

66．Dear fellow students,
As we all know, our school is working hard to build a greener campus. However, I’ve noticed some
environmentally unfriendly habits around us. For example, lights and fans are often left on in empty classrooms,
and a lot of leftover food is thrown away in the canteen every day.
To make a real difference, I suggest we do the following. First, always turn off electrical devices when we
leave a room. Second, only take as much food as we can eat — every grain counts. Moreover, we can use reusable
water bottles instead of disposable plastic ones.
Small actions can lead to big changes. Let’s take responsibility and join hands to make our campus a greener,
cleaner place for everyone.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

Over the next week, I did my best to give Avery some space. Then one day, I approached her. “I know you
didn’t exactly love the idea of being the March Hare, but you’re such a talented actress, and the way you say your
lines is great.” “Thanks,” said Avery happily, with a big smile on her face. “Well,” I said, “I’m still struggling with
a few things about my character. I’d love your help if you have any free time this week.” She smiled. “I might be
free on Thursday.” And we practised carefully and passionately on Thursday.
Our play ended up going great. We had so much fun, and the audience loved the perfect show. They broke
into loud applause. And even though things were rough for a little while with Avery and me, they’re better than ever
now! She even apologized for the way she acted at first. And I’ve learned an important lesson from this experience.
Give your teammate a little time and understanding, and he or she just might come around before too long.
