At 15, I unwillingly joined a mountain-climbing camp in the Rockies. My fear of heights made me
freeze, but my parents insisted it would “build character.” On the first morning, our instructor, Sarah,
gathered us at the base. “This climb isn’t about speed or strength,” she said. “It’s about listening — to your
body, the mountain, and your teammates.” I rolled my eyes, convinced that reaching the summit was the
only measure of success.
My teammate Jake, a confident athlete, dashed ahead, laughing at my cautious pace. “You’re wasting
time!” he yelled. By midday, however, his confidence broke. Jake collapsed on a narrow ledge, trembling
from thirst and muscle pain. Meanwhile, I adjusted my equipment, sipped water every 15 minutes, and
studied the rock formations. When storm clouds darkened the sky, panic struck me. Sarah’s voice echoed in
my mind: “Control what you can. Let go of what you can’t.”
The final stretch tested everyone. Jake fell behind, humbled and silent. I focused on three-step rhythms:
plant, pull, and breathe. At the summit, wind beat my face as I gazed at the valley below. Jake approached,
voice shaky. “I wanted to prove I was the best,” he admitted. “But I forgot to respect the mountain.” That
moment reshaped my understanding of growth — it wasn’t about conquering peaks but embracing humility
and patience.
Years later, as a guide, I teach philosophy at a high school. One student recently asked, “What if I fail ”
I smiled. “Failure isn’t falling, it’s refusing to learn why you fell.” Mountains mirror life’s struggles:
unpredictable, demanding, yet transformative (能使人改变的). Every struggle and setback carves resilience
(适应力 )into our stories. The true summit isn’t a physical place — it’s the wisdom we carry back to the
world below.
24. What initial attitude did the author have toward the instructor’s advice
A. Enthusiastic. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Confused.
25. Why did Jake fail to climb the mountain
A. He wanted the author to win. B. He lacked proper equipment.
C. He rushed without preparation. D. He had to help other climbers.
26. Which of the following words best describes the author
A. Patiently observant. B. Eagerly ambitious.
C. Competitively driven. D. Emotionally attached.

27. What lesson does the author learn from this climbing
A. Winning requires fighting bravely. B. Physical strength guarantees success.
C. Teamwork outweighs personal goals. D. Success values steady effort over shortcuts.
C
Nursing homes have increasingly turned to robots to complete a variety of care tasks. A new study from
a University of Notre Dame expert on the future of work finds that robot use is associated with increased
employment and employee retention (留住 ), improved productivity and a higher quality of care. The
research has important implications for the workplace and the long-term care industry.
Yong Suk Lee, associate professor of technology, economy and global affairs, was the lead author for
the study. “Our research focused on Japan because it is a super-aging society that provides a good example
of what the future could involve elsewhere — a declining population, a growing share of senior citizens and
a declining share of working-age people,” Lee said, “We need to be ready for this new reality.”
In a future where there are more senior citizens requiring care, using robots in a targeted fashion could
benefit workers and patients alike, Lee said. The study analyzed three types of robots that are increasingly
used in assisted living facilities. Transfer robots, which nurses use to lift, move and rotate patients in beds
and around rooms. Mobility robots, which patients use to move around and to bathe. Monitoring and
communication robots, which include technologies such as computer vision and bed sensors that can record
and examine patient data such as movement and share it with care providers.
“We found that robot adoption aids care workers by reducing quit rates. This is important because
employee turnover is a big concern in nursing homes. Workers typically experience a great deal of physical
pain, particularly in their knees and back. The work is hard and the pay is low. So robot use was associated
with employee retention.” Lee said, “Robots can improve productivity by shifting the tasks performed by
care workers to those involving human touch, empathy and flexibility. Ultimately, robots can help workers
provide a higher level of patient care.”
“This research provides critical insights into how societies can successfully navigate the challenges of
caring for aging populations,” Lee said.
28. Why did Yong Suk Lee focus his research on Japan
A. It encourages the elderly care industry.
B. It has a sound foundation for robot nursing.
C. Its super-aging society well reflects the trend.
D. It owns the most advanced robots in the world.
29. What does the underlined word “rotate” in paragraph 3 mean
A. treat. B. examine. C. monitor. D. reposition.
30. Why does robot adoption reduce workers’ quit rates
A. It solves the issue of low pay. B. It eases their heavy working burden.
C. It offers a good working environment. D. It helps to treat their occupational injuries.
31. What’s the passage mainly about
A. Japan’s exploration represents the care industry.
B. High quality care for the elderly should be advocated.
C. Nursing robots benefit staff retention and patient care.
D. Robot adoption in nursing requires critical examination.

In a very important journey to make space travel better for the environment, scientists have successfully
launched LignoSat, the world’s first wooden satellite, aboard a SpaceX rocket. The satellite is going on a trip
to bring more things to the International Space Station (ISS), where it will be launched into orbit in the
coming month.
The pioneering project was developed by Kyoto University scientists and Sumitomo Forestry, which is a
big step in finding new ways to be good for the environment when we use technology in space. LignoSat’s
purpose is to see whether wood could be a proper material in space. The satellite is set to orbit Earth for six
months, staying strong in the tough space environment while scientists watch how well it holds up.
Wood, surprisingly strong in space due to the absence of oxygen and water, could offer a solution to a
significant problem facing the satellite industry: metal pieces from retired satellites re-entering Earth’s
atmosphere. Traditional metal satellites often generate metal particles upon burning up, but LignoSat,
designed to break up harmlessly on re-entry, has the potential to avoid this environmental impact altogether.
Koji Murata, a professor from Kyoto University who studies forests, said that because wood could last a
long time without oxygen, it might be a good material to use for spaceships, reducing environmental harm
when the satellite returns to Earth. The satellite was put in a specialized container (容器 ) by the Japan
Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and flew into space safely, according to a post on the Internet.
Sumitomo Forestry’s spokesperson said the satellite’s journey went well and that it would soon arrive at the
ISS, where it will then be launched into space.
32. What can be learned about LignoSat
A. It’s made of metal. B. It’s a wooden satellite.
C. It looks like a SpaceX rocket. D. It’s near the International Space Station
33. What is the main purpose of LignoSat
A. To make the journey to space faster. B. To discover water sources in space.
C. To bring space materials back to Earth. D. To test if wood is suitable for use in space.
34. What benefit does wood offer compared to metal for satellites according to paragraph 3
A. It is more environment-friendly. B. It can be found more easily.
C. It provides more strength. D. It is cheaper.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. ISS: Wooden Addition B. LignoSat: Beyond Profit
C. First Wooden Satellite: Eco-Space Travel D. SpaceX: Green Satellite Launch

There are lots of exciting ways to sort out your shelves and organize your book collection. We spoke to
booksellers Mia Wingfield and Helen Mair from The Alligator’s Mouth children’s bookshop in Richmond,
London, about how they plan their shelves and create new arrangements. 36 With an organized
bookshelf, you’ll be able to spot the things you’re most excited to read next.
Choose a spot.
Whether it’s in a special reading corner or on a bookshelf, it’s a good idea to keep all of your books
together in one place. “It’s always inspiring to be surrounded by a mix of old favorites and new titles in a
comfortable bookish corner,” says Wingfield. Gather your books together and start sorting. “ 37 Make
the most of the space you have available — putting books on top of the shelves can be a good use of space,”
says Mair.

Organize your books.
At The Alligator’s Mouth, the shelves are organized in a few different ways — picture books are
ordered alphabetically (按字母顺序地) by publisher; novels, poetry and storybooks by the author’s surname;
and non-novel books are grouped in themes. “Have fun with it,” says Mair. “ 38 ”
Present special books.
Mair suggests a simple way to highlight a book on your shelf. 39 In other words, the cover
should be pointing outwards instead of the spine (书脊). By doing this, you can showcase the book’s story
more effectively.
Sort and swap (交换).
40 “It’s hard to decide which ones are ready to go to a new home,” says Wingfield, but she adds,
“It’s a great way to make way for new favorites and pass on favorites to other readers too.”
A. Not everyone has room for a personal library.
B. Regularly remove books you no longer need or want.
C. This method includes placing a favorite book face-out.
D. You can arrange your books in a way that makes sense to you.
E. Here, they share tips on how to refresh your shelves and enjoy your books.
F. Organizing books by size can make your shelves look surprisingly attractive.
G. Make space for new books by organizing a book exchange with friends or classmates.

I couldn’t have been better prepared for the talk, my first presentation as a college student. I had learned my
speech 41 . The day before the talk, alone in my room, I felt 42 . But as soon as I was
invited to the stage, I was overwhelmed by a fear I had 43 too many times before—the fear of
getting 44 because of my stutter (口吃).
It began when I was a child. I felt ashamed and 45 as little as possible at school. I put a lot of
46 into math and science; in these subjects, I could 47 my teachers with written exams and
reports rather than spoken ones.
But by the time I got to middle school, my stutter had made me a 48 for bullying (欺凌), which
hurt my academic performance. 49 , I went to a cooking school, where I hoped my cooking would
speak for itself.
I saw my future as a 50 until a nutrition class, when the teacher’s lecture 51 me of my
love of science. I found that my thirst for learning more biology was 52 than my fear of stuttering
during oral exams. I started to work in a research lab and tried speech therapy (治疗). With the help of my
therapist, I 53 realized the real problem was not the stutter itself; it was my fear of stuttering. It took
me about a year to 54 during one weekly meeting that I love myself as I am.
Now, instead of 55 public speeches, I actively seek opportunities to be on the stage. And if I
happen to stutter along the way, so be it.

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。
In 1989, I had just graduated from high school. I had three months before college started, and I found it
hard to choose a career path. My choices were limited. I could become a doctor or an engineer, or go into
finance after getting a business degree. I wasn’t interested in engineering, so I was left with medicine or
business. I couldn’t decide.
My uncle, one of the elders in the family, suggested that I be a one-month intern (毕业实习生) at an
international company and then a one-month intern at a hospital. After that, I could make a decision. It
seemed like a great idea.
I was accepted as a one-month intern at a foreign bank. I learned how the finance world worked, made
new friends, and enjoyed the relaxing working environment.
The month passed quickly, and I started working at a leading hospital. This experience was completely
different. The hospital was very demanding. The days started at 7 am (compared to 9 am at the bank) and
were full of endless duties. It was crazy.
I began thinking about my two experiences. The bank offered a more relaxing working environment,
better working hours, and less stress. The hospital was full of excitement and something unpredictable, but
the studying and training were very hard. It seemed like business was going to win.
In the last few days of my hospital internship, I was driving home after a very busy night. On the way, I
saw an old man and an old woman standing by the road, looking very worried. I pulled over and asked what
was wrong. The old man told me that his wife suddenly felt very sick and needed to go to the hospital
immediately. Hearing this, I decided to help them.
注意：
1.续写词数应为 150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I quickly got the old man and his wife into my car.
