There was an old bookstore on the corner of my street. I discovered it one sunny afternoon when I was exploring the neighborhood. The moment I pushed open the door, a unique aroma (芳香) embraced me. The shelves were stuffed with books of every genre and age. I could see the spines of well-loved classics, rare first editions, and forgotten treasures. The owner, a middle-aged man with glasses and a warm smile, was busy tidying up. He greeted me and told me to feel free to look around. I started browsing and was immediately fascinated by a collection of old travelogues that seemed to hold the secrets of far-off lands.
Over the following weeks, I became a regular. I would spend hours there, losing myself in the pages of different books. Sometimes, the owner would recommend a particular book based on our conversations. His knowledge and passion for literature were truly inspiring.
However, change was on the horizon. The city was developing rapidly, and new, modern shops were replacing the old ones. One day, I noticed a sense of gloom in the bookstore. The owner informed me that due to the skyrocketing rent and the competition from online bookstores, he was struggling to keep the doors open. It seemed that this little shelter of literature might soon disappear.
I was determined not to let that happen. I reached out to my schoolmates and local community groups. We organized a book fair in front of the bookstore, inviting local authors and artists to participate. We also set up an online crowdfunding page to collect donations. People from all over the neighborhood came to show their support. They bought books,donated money, and shared their own memories of the bookstore.
Thanks to the collective efforts, we managed to raise enough funds to cover the rent for a while. The bookstore survived this crisis. A community’s love and support can preserve something truly valuable. The old bookstore was not just a place to buy books; it was a cornerstone of our community’s cultural and emotional heritage, and it was worth every bit of the fight to save it.
24. What caught the writer’s attention the most during his first visit to the bookstore
A. The packed book shelves. B. The ancient travel accounts.
C. The friendly and devoted shop owner. D. The rich collection of literature classics.
25. Why did the bookstore face the risk of shutting down
A. Poor management of the store.
B. Rising rent and e-commerce pressure.
C. A decrease in people’s interest in literature.
D. The run-down condition and out-of-style decorations.
26. Which of the following best describes the writer
A. Warm-hearted and influential. B. Inspiring and economical.
C. Reserved and passionate. D. Ambitious and knowledgeable.
27. What of the following does the writer mainly emphasize in the passage
A. The crucial role of joint efforts in conserving cultural treasure.
B. The negative impact of urban expansion on personal hobbies.
C. The marked advantage of small local businesses over large ones.
D. The unavoidable replacement of old traditions by modern trends.
C
If you see an enormous, deadly funnel-web spider sitting on her egg sac (卵袋), your first instinct might be to run away.
But the Australian Reptile Park(ARP) in New South Wales is urging residents of nearby Sydney to suppress that fear, remain calm, and carefully collect both the spider and her eggs in a secure container so they can be used to make life-saving antivenom (抗毒血清).
Funnel-webs, whose most dangerous species lives in and around Sydney, are known for their deadly, fast-acting venom. Before the antivenom was introduced in 1981, 13 people died as a result of funnel-web bites. Since its introduction, there have been no fatalities.
The Australian Reptile Park issues this callout to the public every November when the spiders’ breeding season begins and stresses its importance in helping to save lives. The zoo is the sole supplier of funnel-web spider antivenom, which it produces by milking the spiders collected.
“With breeding season upon us and the weather creating ideal conditions, we rely on spider donations more than ever,” the zoo’s spider keeper, Emma Teni, said in a statement. “Male funnel-web spiders have short lifespans, and with approximately 150 spiders required to make just one small bottle of antivenom, we need the public’s help to ensure we have enough venom to meet demand.”
The spiders frequent cool, damp areas with dense leaves, though the zoo warned that they can also be found in homes — especially in places like piles of laundry, shoes left outside, swimming pools and debris in gardens.
People whose lives had been saved by the antivenom also urged the public to participate in the program. “ARP and your antivenom program saved my life in 1994,” Nicole Webber commented on the Australian Reptile Park’s Facebook post. “I can only thank you all. Please do support the program with safely captured spiders and finance.”
28. What is the ARP asking residents to do with funnel-web spiders
A. Protect their endangered habitats. B. Display them in the park center.
C. Collect them in a container. D. Run away from them.
29. The underlined word “fatalities” in paragraph 3 most probably means ________.
A. serious accidents B. permanent disabilities
C. recorded deaths D. successful rescues
30. What can we learn from Emma Teni’s words
A. The zoo may lack antivenom without public help.
B. The breeding season is the best time to study spiders.
C. The public has shown less interest in donating spiders.
D. The zoo has had enough spiders for antivenom production.
31. Which can be the best title of the passage
A. Funnel-Web Spiders: Most Dangerous Spider Species.
B. Australian Reptile Park: A Call for Community Reflection.
C. Saving Lives: Funnel-Web Spider Antivenom Production.
D. From Fear to Rescue: The Urgent Spider Collection Drive.
D
Most people visit national parks expecting to see natural wonders like forests, waterfalls, and animals. What they don’t expect are piles of trash left by tourists who don’t think about how such waste hurts the environment. Now, there’s an app to not only track this waste but also get rid of it.
According to Travel + Leisure, the community group 5 Gyres Institute has developed an app called TrashBlitz that will record trash thrown away in national parks. By noting what kinds of trash are found, the goal is to encourage people to cut down on waste that pollutes the parks.
If you’re walking through Yellowstone and find a place with lots of empty bottles or wrappers, you can use the TrashBlitz app to write down where the trash is and any clean-up work you do. This data can then be used to create plans for policy changes, including possible laws and activities to tell visitors to clean up and use things that can be recycled or used again.
The group’s 2024 clean-up effort had 259 events at 58 sites, like Olympic National Park. The group collected information as well as reports from volunteers. Based on the data, they found the biggest problem is plastic, which makes up about 77% of all reported trash. Food wrappers are the most common type of plastic litter, but soda bottles, wet wipes, and bottle caps are also usual. Paper is the second most found trash, and metals and fabrics make up the rest.
“I found small colorful pieces of plastic in Biscayne National Park,” a volunteer said. “I also saw lots of bags, cups, and takeout boxes broken into tiny pieces along the roads to Everglades National Park. The smaller plastic gets, the more easily it can enter the food chain and the harder it is to remove from nature.”
TrashBlitz isn’t just for parks: It works for local clean-ups in communities too. Recent reports include surveys in Los Angeles, Denver, and Austin. Their work is supported by laws: In 2022, the U. S. Department of the Interior said it would not allow people to use single-use plastics in parks.
32. Why was the app invented
A. To help reuse trash in national parks. B. To solve trash problems in national parks.
C. To find volunteers to clean national parks. D. To punish those who litter in national parks.
33. What is the data collected by the app used for
A. Educating the public. B. Helping make new rules.
C. Creating plans for volunteers. D. Deciding where to put trash.
34. What does the data from the group’s 2024 clean-up effort show
A The effects and reuse of trash. B. The increase of all kinds of trash.
C. The types and percentages of trash. D. The challenges of cleaning up trash.
35. What does the last paragraph say about the app
A. It works well in many places. B. It often surveys user experiences.
C. It has improved its system recently. D. It is waiting for laws to recognize it.

67. Everyone at school called her “Mute Meher”. Not because she couldn’t speak, but because she chose not to. Since childhood, Meher had a terrible stutter (口吃). Whenever she tried to speak in class, her words always got stuck. Only in art class did Meher feel happy and relaxed, because she loved sketching (速写). For her, drawing was safer than speaking. Thus, her pencil became her voice, filling sketchbooks with worlds where no one made fun of her stutter. Unluckily, no one noticed her drawings.
Then came the school’s talent show. Posters everywhere read: “Find Your Voice” Funny but sad, Meher thought. Her art teacher, Miss Sofia, walked to her. “These are beautiful. Why don’t you show your works at the talent show ” Miss Sofia suggested.
Meher shook her head nervously. “Me On stage ” Meher thought. “With my stutter impossible.” But Miss Sofia smiled. “What if you didn’t have to speak... just show your story ”
Miss Sofia’s words kept Meher thinking long after class. That night, an idea flashed through Meher’s mind. What if she told her story through animation (动画片) Using her computer and a borrowed projector from Miss Sofia, Meher turned her sketches into a short animation — “The Girl Behind the Curtain.”
As the images came to life, Meher felt something she hadn’t felt in years — hope. The girl in the film stuttered, too. When people laughed, a shadowy curtain grew around her like walls. But whenever someone was kind or when she felt brave, she made openings in the curtain. Little by little, light broke through.
The day of the show arrived before Meher knew it. The night of the show, Meher stood behind the curtain. She didn’t go on stage. But her animation played on the big screen. At first, there was silence. Then quiet voices. Then tears.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
When the animation ended and Meher’s name appeared on the screen, a great cheer went up from the crowd.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
From that day on, “Mute Meher” disappeared.

【原文】M: Hakobyan Aleta believes shadow play is an excellent way to tell stories of Chinese myths, legends and history. Aleta came to China from Armenia to work as an English teacher three years ago. She has visited many places like Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Yunnan Province and Shandong Province. Aleta likes the country’s beautiful natural scenery and diverse customs, but what most fascinates her is the local folk stories.
Her love of the art form first started when she watched a shadow play show in a museum in Xi’an, China’ s Shaanxi Province. “I was very excited to watch a shadow play for the first time. The staff in the museum invited me to look at the leather puppets, and I was impressed by the bright colors and their flexibility,” Aleta recalled.
Aleta’s first shadow play told a touching love story from Chinese legend. Her shadow play videos have won over many audiences in Armenia. This has encouraged her to continue making more videos. Currently, she is writing a new story based on ancient Chinese poetry.
“When my Chinese is good enough, I will make shadow play videos about Armenian myths, legends and customs to share my country’s culture with Chinese audiences,” Aleta said.

There was an old bookstore on the corner of my street. I discovered it one sunny afternoon when I was exploring the neighborhood. The moment I pushed open the door, a unique aroma (芳香) embraced me. The shelves were stuffed with books of every genre and age. I could see the spines of well-loved classics, rare first editions, and forgotten treasures. The owner, a middle-aged man with glasses and a warm smile, was busy tidying up. He greeted me and told me to feel free to look around. I started browsing and was immediately fascinated by a collection of old travelogues that seemed to hold the secrets of far-off lands.
Over the following weeks, I became a regular. I would spend hours there, losing myself in the pages of different books. Sometimes, the owner would recommend a particular book based on our conversations. His knowledge and passion for literature were truly inspiring.
However, change was on the horizon. The city was developing rapidly, and new, modern shops were replacing the old ones. One day, I noticed a sense of gloom in the bookstore. The owner informed me that due to the skyrocketing rent and the competition from online bookstores, he was struggling to keep the doors open. It seemed that this little shelter of literature might soon disappear.
I was determined not to let that happen. I reached out to my schoolmates and local community groups. We organized a book fair in front of the bookstore, inviting local authors and artists to participate. We also set up an online crowdfunding page to collect donations. People from all over the neighborhood came to show their support. They bought books,donated money, and shared their own memories of the bookstore.
Thanks to the collective efforts, we managed to raise enough funds to cover the rent for a while. The bookstore survived this crisis. A community’s love and support can preserve something truly valuable. The old bookstore was not just a place to buy books; it was a cornerstone of our community’s cultural and emotional heritage, and it was worth every bit of the fight to save it.
24. What caught the writer’s attention the most during his first visit to the bookstore
A. The packed book shelves. B. The ancient travel accounts.
C. The friendly and devoted shop owner. D. The rich collection of literature classics.
25. Why did the bookstore face the risk of shutting down
A. Poor management of the store.
B. Rising rent and e-commerce pressure.
C. A decrease in people’s interest in literature.
D. The run-down condition and out-of-style decorations.
26. Which of the following best describes the writer
A. Warm-hearted and influential. B. Inspiring and economical.
C. Reserved and passionate. D. Ambitious and knowledgeable.
27. What of the following does the writer mainly emphasize in the passage
A. The crucial role of joint efforts in conserving cultural treasure.
B. The negative impact of urban expansion on personal hobbies.
C. The marked advantage of small local businesses over large ones.
D. The unavoidable replacement of old traditions by modern trends.

If you see an enormous, deadly funnel-web spider sitting on her egg sac (卵袋), your first instinct might be to run away.
But the Australian Reptile Park(ARP) in New South Wales is urging residents of nearby Sydney to suppress that fear, remain calm, and carefully collect both the spider and her eggs in a secure container so they can be used to make life-saving antivenom (抗毒血清).
Funnel-webs, whose most dangerous species lives in and around Sydney, are known for their deadly, fast-acting venom. Before the antivenom was introduced in 1981, 13 people died as a result of funnel-web bites. Since its introduction, there have been no fatalities.
The Australian Reptile Park issues this callout to the public every November when the spiders’ breeding season begins and stresses its importance in helping to save lives. The zoo is the sole supplier of funnel-web spider antivenom, which it produces by milking the spiders collected.
“With breeding season upon us and the weather creating ideal conditions, we rely on spider donations more than ever,” the zoo’s spider keeper, Emma Teni, said in a statement. “Male funnel-web spiders have short lifespans, and with approximately 150 spiders required to make just one small bottle of antivenom, we need the public’s help to ensure we have enough venom to meet demand.”
The spiders frequent cool, damp areas with dense leaves, though the zoo warned that they can also be found in homes — especially in places like piles of laundry, shoes left outside, swimming pools and debris in gardens.
People whose lives had been saved by the antivenom also urged the public to participate in the program. “ARP and your antivenom program saved my life in 1994,” Nicole Webber commented on the Australian Reptile Park’s Facebook post. “I can only thank you all. Please do support the program with safely captured spiders and finance.”
28. What is the ARP asking residents to do with funnel-web spiders
A. Protect their endangered habitats. B. Display them in the park center.
C. Collect them in a container. D. Run away from them.
29. The underlined word “fatalities” in paragraph 3 most probably means ________.
A. serious accidents B. permanent disabilities
C. recorded deaths D. successful rescues
30. What can we learn from Emma Teni’s words
A. The zoo may lack antivenom without public help.
B. The breeding season is the best time to study spiders.
C. The public has shown less interest in donating spiders.
D. The zoo has had enough spiders for antivenom production.
31. Which can be the best title of the passage
A. Funnel-Web Spiders: Most Dangerous Spider Species.
B. Australian Reptile Park: A Call for Community Reflection.
C. Saving Lives: Funnel-Web Spider Antivenom Production.
D. From Fear to Rescue: The Urgent Spider Collection Drive.
【答案】28. C 29. C 30. A 31. D
D
Most people visit national parks expecting to see natural wonders like forests, waterfalls, and animals. What they don’t expect are piles of trash left by tourists who don’t think about how such waste hurts the environment. Now, there’s an app to not only track this waste but also get rid of it.
According to Travel + Leisure, the community group 5 Gyres Institute has developed an app called TrashBlitz that will record trash thrown away in national parks. By noting what kinds of trash are found, the goal is to encourage people to cut down on waste that pollutes the parks.
If you’re walking through Yellowstone and find a place with lots of empty bottles or wrappers, you can use the TrashBlitz app to write down where the trash is and any clean-up work you do. This data can then be used to create plans for policy changes, including possible laws and activities to tell visitors to clean up and use things that can be recycled or used again.
The group’s 2024 clean-up effort had 259 events at 58 sites, like Olympic National Park. The group collected information as well as reports from volunteers. Based on the data, they found the biggest problem is plastic, which makes up about 77% of all reported trash. Food wrappers are the most common type of plastic litter, but soda bottles, wet wipes, and bottle caps are also usual. Paper is the second most found trash, and metals and fabrics make up the rest.
“I found small colorful pieces of plastic in Biscayne National Park,” a volunteer said. “I also saw lots of bags, cups, and takeout boxes broken into tiny pieces along the roads to Everglades National Park. The smaller plastic gets, the more easily it can enter the food chain and the harder it is to remove from nature.”
TrashBlitz isn’t just for parks: It works for local clean-ups in communities too. Recent reports include surveys in Los Angeles, Denver, and Austin. Their work is supported by laws: In 2022, the U. S. Department of the Interior said it would not allow people to use single-use plastics in parks.
32. Why was the app invented
A. To help reuse trash in national parks. B. To solve trash problems in national parks.
C. To find volunteers to clean national parks. D. To punish those who litter in national parks.
33. What is the data collected by the app used for
A. Educating the public. B. Helping make new rules.
C. Creating plans for volunteers. D. Deciding where to put trash.
34. What does the data from the group’s 2024 clean-up effort show
A The effects and reuse of trash. B. The increase of all kinds of trash.
C. The types and percentages of trash. D. The challenges of cleaning up trash.
35. What does the last paragraph say about the app
A. It works well in many places. B. It often surveys user experiences.
C. It has improved its system recently. D. It is waiting for laws to recognize it.
【答案】32. B 33. B 34. C 35. A

【答案】Dear Alex,
I am writing to express my full support for your proposal regarding the “Traffic Safety in Community” initiative, which I believe is exceptionally meaningful and well-timed.
This activity holds significant value for several reasons. Primarily, it addresses pressing safety concerns in our neighborhood by raising residents’ awareness of traffic rules. Additionally, it offers us students a valuable platform to develop social responsibility and enhance practical communication skills through direct community engagement. The process of preparing and delivering educational content would undoubtedly deepen our own understanding of traffic safety as well.
Thank you for considering my perspective. I’m confident that this activity will create a positive impact and contribute to a safer community.
Yours
Li Hua
第二节 读后续写（满分25分）
67. Everyone at school called her “Mute Meher”. Not because she couldn’t speak, but because she chose not to. Since childhood, Meher had a terrible stutter (口吃). Whenever she tried to speak in class, her words always got stuck. Only in art class did Meher feel happy and relaxed, because she loved sketching (速写). For her, drawing was safer than speaking. Thus, her pencil became her voice, filling sketchbooks with worlds where no one made fun of her stutter. Unluckily, no one noticed her drawings.
Then came the school’s talent show. Posters everywhere read: “Find Your Voice” Funny but sad, Meher thought. Her art teacher, Miss Sofia, walked to her. “These are beautiful. Why don’t you show your works at the talent show ” Miss Sofia suggested.
Meher shook her head nervously. “Me On stage ” Meher thought. “With my stutter impossible.” But Miss Sofia smiled. “What if you didn’t have to speak... just show your story ”
Miss Sofia’s words kept Meher thinking long after class. That night, an idea flashed through Meher’s mind. What if she told her story through animation (动画片) Using her computer and a borrowed projector from Miss Sofia, Meher turned her sketches into a short animation — “The Girl Behind the Curtain.”
As the images came to life, Meher felt something she hadn’t felt in years — hope. The girl in the film stuttered, too. When people laughed, a shadowy curtain grew around her like walls. But whenever someone was kind or when she felt brave, she made openings in the curtain. Little by little, light broke through.
The day of the show arrived before Meher knew it. The night of the show, Meher stood behind the curtain. She didn’t go on stage. But her animation played on the big screen. At first, there was silence. Then quiet voices. Then tears.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
When the animation ended and Meher’s name appeared on the screen, a great cheer went up from the crowd.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
From that day on, “Mute Meher” disappeared.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
When the animation ended and Meher’s name appeared on the screen, a great cheer went up from the crowd. Meher, still hidden behind the curtain, felt her heart race like a drum. Then, to her surprise, Miss Sofia gently guided her onto the stage. Standing under the bright lights, Meher saw tearful smiles, encouraging nods, and hands clapping wildly. A boy from her class suddenly shouted, “Meher, you’re amazing!” For the first time, she didn’t fear her stutter. Taking a deep breath, she said, “Th-thank you.” The crowd cheered even louder, not laughing at her stutter but celebrating her courage.
From that day on, “Mute Meher” disappeared. In her place was a girl who slowly found her voice — both through her art and her words. Classmates began gathering around to ask about her sketches, and teachers encouraged her to share more animations. The curtain that once trapped her had lifted. One afternoon, a younger student with a stutter approached her shyly. “C-can you teach me to draw ” Meher smiled warmly and handed her a pencil, knowing exactly how it felt to be heard without speaking. Together, they began sketching a new story — one where bravery shone brighter than fear.
