Suddenly, a black pickup slid out of control, hit a hard wall, rolled over an SUV, and came to rest hanging over the guardrail (护栏). Bauer stopped his car in time. A BMW then hit the side of his car.After making sure Ava was not hurt, Bauer ran to check on the BMW driver. She was shocked but fine. Then came a scream (尖叫) from the pickup. A man climbed out and pointed down. About 30 feet below, a child’s car seat floated in the water. Next to it was a little girl in a pink dress, around two years old, kicking and screaming.Things became more frightening when the girl rolled over onto her stomach. Bauer waited for the pickup driver to act, but he didn’t move — perhaps in shock. Bauer knew the water was shallow, only about four feet deep — and there might be rocks. But he couldn’t wait.“Ava!” Bauer yelled, taking off his shoes, “Stay by the car!” He climbed onto the guardrail, and jumped. He hit the sandy bottom, unhurt.The girl was less than ten feet away. He swam to her and lifted her out. She was not breathing, mouth half open, eyes nearly closed. Standing, he laid her against his shoulder and hit her back with his hand. Water came out of her mouth. Still no breath. He hit her back again. She took a breath, and then her little fingers held tightly to his neck. She was alive.A family on a boat pulled them aboard and took them to a sloping place where an ambulance (救护车) waited. The girl was taken to a hospital by helicopter, and Bauer hugged his own daughter Ava next to their damaged car on the bridge.Inspired by her father, Ava became a young firefighter trainee four months later, so that she could also save lives.4. What happened to the black pickup in the accidentA．It ended up partly over the bridge’s edge.B．It hit a hard wall and stopped immediately.C．It fell off the bridge into the water below.D．It struck a BMW and slid into Bauer’s car.5. How did Bauer manage to get the little girl to breathe againA．By lifting her out. B．By laying her against his shoulder.C．By striking her back. D．By breathing into her mouth.6. What can be inferred about the family on the boatA．They worked as professional lifeguards.B．They helped Bauer reach the shore quickly.C．They knew the little girl’s parents.D．They called an ambulance before the rescue.7. Which of the following is the best title for the storyA．A Terrible Car Accident B．Ava’s Firefighter DreamC．A Child Rescue Guide D．A Father’s Brave RescueCMany young people today are turning to wearable tools and AI health apps to keep track of their health. This practice, sometimes called “digital wellness”, has grown rapidly. Take 28-year-old designer Li Meng from Shanghai as an example. Each morning, she records her resting heart rate and blood oxygen level using her smart ring. When noticing an unusually high heart rate, she takes a short break and does breathing exercises. “It helps me realize when I’m overworked,” she says.Besides basic health signs, some young users use health apps for health checks. Chen Hao, a 30-year-old teacher in Beijing, regularly uploads photos of his tongue to a TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine)-based app. The app analyzes the image and recommends dietary changes. For example, if it suggests “heat”, he drinks chrysanthemum (菊) tea. Chen finds these tips helpful for adjusting his daily habits.Medical professionals agree that these digital tools can serve as useful early warning signs. Dr. Wang Li from a Beijing hospital explains that many young people ignore small health problems until they become serious. “Checking sleep quality, heart rate, or tongue condition through an app can help catch problems at an early stage,” she says.Dr. Wang also notes that an app cannot fully replace medical checks. “A single high heart reading might just be caused by stress or a heavy meal,” she notes. Another specialist points out that checking health data too frequently may lead to unnecessary worry and poor sleep. “Thinking too much about every number can actually harm your mental balance,” he says.Therefore, the best approach is to use digital health tools as early warnings, not doctors. If you experience long-lasting discomfort or see repeated abnormal readings, the advice is simple; visit a hospital for a professional check-up.8. What does Li Meng use her smart ring to doA．Monitor heart rate. B．Record sleep score.C．Track work hours. D．Do breathing exercises.9. How does Chen Hao respond to the AI tongue analysisA．Quit the app. B．See a doctor.C．Change his exercise. D．Adjust food intake.10. What is the main purpose of the fourth paragraphA．To point out problems. B．To question the apps.C．To provide evidence. D．To make a contrast.11. What should digital health tools be treated asA．Personal doctors. B．Daily trackers.C．Effective treatments. D．Professional suggestions.DScientists and medical researchers have spent many years studying the human brain. Even after many studies, its workings are still not fully understood. New research, however, is helping us understand how our brains develop.Scientists at the University of California have discovered a new period of brain development in newborn babies. In the past, people thought that the connections in most babies’ brains were fully developed before they were born. Now scientists find these connections continue to develop for months after birth. So as newborn babies sleep quietly in their beds, their brains are busy making connections.The scientists studied neurons (神经元) that are believed to form deep in the brain. They found that these neurons can make a very long trip in the brain. They move, from the site where they are born, to the brain’s prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮层), an area that influences personality development, reasoning, understanding of the world and much more. At this final resting place, the neurons settle down and become part of a complex (复杂的) connection system, which makes up our brain.Arturo, a Professor of Neurological Surgery at the university, calls this a “wonder.” “It is just amazing when it happens before a baby is born, and more amazing when it’s happening in a brain that is bigger and much more complex. He says the progress made by the scientific world is impressive, which may help answer questions about the human thought process: The discovery may also lead to a better understanding of diseases of the human nervous system.However, he adds, there is still a long way to go. “We have learned a lot about brain development, but it’s still a very small part of what we need to know to really understand how the brain works. So it’s fascinating that we are making progress so fast, but there is still a lot to be done.”12. What did people use to believe about the connections in babies’ brainsA．They were unknown before birth. B．They were completed before birth.C．They started working after birth. D．They kept developing after birth.13. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer toA．The large size of the brain. B．The newly discovered brain area.C．The long journey of the neurons. D．The important role of neurons14. What is Arturo’s attitude toward the new discoveryA．Proud and confident. B．Excited but realistic.C．Curious but doubtful. D．Impressed and certain.15. What is the main idea of the passageA．High complexity of newborn brains. B．The key role of prefrontal cortex.C．A newly found stage of brain development. D．Complete mapping of brain growth.第二节 七选五Container Gardening: Easy, Fun and Money-SavingContainer gardening is an easy, fun and money-saving way to bring colorful flowers into your home. 16.___ Fortunately, by following a few basic guidelines, you can create a beautiful and healthy container garden.Know the full size of your flowers.

Back then, life was simple, without the modern equipment we see today. Our house sat on a high bank overlooking a road — not a busy one, as public buses didn’t go that way. To reach the main road, you had to walk for nearly thirty minutes.Those were dark terrible times for our family. We lived a very poor life and could only make ends meet. My father worked far away and, like many men of that time, could only come home on weekends. In this hopeless situation, my older brother — just two years my senior — started school. The housework fell on my mother, who was also caring for my three-month-old baby sister. I remember watching my mother sometimes cry sad tears alone, the weight of the world falling heavily on her shoulders.One morning, Mom faced a terrible dilemma: she had to walk my brother to school, but she couldn’t take all three of us. With no other choice, she fed my baby sister, laid her into bed surrounded by pillows just in case she would fall, and asked me to stay still and quiet. “I’ll be back as fast as I can,” she promised.But in a poor area where nothing was certain, being late was unavoidable. As the minutes stretched (延长) into an hour, I stood by the window, my small eyes fixed on the empty road. Suddenly, a thud (砰的一声) came from the bedroom, followed by a loud scream of my baby sister.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。I ran like an arrow (箭) to the room.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Then I saw Mom running towards us with a pale face full of anxiety.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________参考答案阅读：1-3 ADD 4-7 ACBD 8-11 ADAB 12-15 BCBC七选五：16-20 GDAFC完形：21-25 ACDBB 26-30 CDABB 31-35 CDACA语法填空：36.which 37.traditional 38.came 39.what 40.in41.are run 42.hidden 43.residents 44.gently 45.greater46范文NOTICEOur school will hold a one-week Summer English Camp starting on July 10.We will have interesting activities including English speeches, movie sharing and group games.

Don’t miss this great chance!The Student UnionJune 28th47范文I ran like an arrow (箭) to the room. I found my baby sister rolling on the bed and crying loudly. I quickly held her in my arms and patted her back gently to calm her down. I walked back and forth in the room, singing soft little songs my mom usually sang to comfort her. Time passed slowly, and I kept looking out of the window, waiting anxiously for Mom’s return.Then I saw Mom running towards us with a pale face full of anxiety. She rushed into the house the moment she spotted us safe and sound. She held both my sister and me tightly in her arms, tears rolling down her cheeks. She kept saying sorry for leaving us alone. From that day on, I realized I could be a little helper to share my mother’s burden.
