To most kids, the library was a quiet building of books. To me, it was the kingdom where my dad governed. Every Saturday, we went on our search.
The routine was holy. We would enter the quiet world, and Dad would lead me to our favorite spot — a small, sunlit table by the window. He never chose the books for me. Instead, he would say, “Go find a key to a new world. I’ll be right here.”
My small hands would run across countless books, feeling the promise of adventures within. That particular Saturday, I pulled out a thick, heavy book about dragons. The cover showed a powerful, fearsome creature soaring over mountains. I struggled to carry it back to our table.
Dad smiled as I dragged my legs with it. “A big one today,” he said softly. I nodded and opened it, the long, complicated words swimming before my eyes. My confidence faltered for it was too hard.
Noticing my struggle, Dad didn’t take over. Instead, he moved his chair closer. “Let’s deal with this giant together,” he said. He pointed to a word. “Look, “scales”(鳞片). Like the scales on a fish, but tougher.” He then made a low, rumbling sound just like the dragon. Immediately, I giggled happily. We took turns, him reading a paragraph, then me attempting the next, his finger patiently tracing each line.
That day, I learned that the real magic wasn’t in reading the book perfectly by myself. The real key was the joyful presence of my dad, who turned my frustration into a shared victory and a cherished memory that would long outlive the story itself.
24．What was the father’s purpose in saying “Go find a key to a new world”
A．To suggest focusing on geography books.
B．To warn the child about challenging content.
C．To teach the child how to use the library guide.
D．To encourage independent exploration of books.
25．What does the underlined word in Para. 4 probably mean
A．Strengthened. B．Weakened. C．Deepened. D．Disappeared.
26．Which words best describe the father
A．Careful and calm. B．Strict and firm.
C．Patient and guiding. D．Warm and kind.
27．What did the author finally discover about “real magic”
A．Libraries contain hidden magical creatures.
B．Learning is enriched by supportive company.
C．Perfect reading ability is the key to knowledge.
D．Victory depends on completing challenging books.
John Clarke, Michel Devoret and John Martinis won the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics for “experiments that discovered quantum physics (量子物理学) in action”, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, said on Tuesday. “This year’s Nobel Prize in Physics has provided opportunities for developing the next generation of quantum technology,” the academy said in a statement.
The prize winners carried out experiments with an electrical circuit (电路) where they showed both quantum mechanical tunneling (隧道效应) and quantized energy levels in a system big enough to be held in the hand. “My feelings are that it’s totally unexpected. It had never occurred to me that this might be the basis of a Nobel Prize,” Clarke told the Nobel news conference by telephone.
The physics Nobel includes a prize sum totaling 11 million Swedish crowns ($1.2 million) shared among the winners. The Nobel Prizes were set up through the will of Alfred Nobel, who collected a wealth from his invention. Since 1901, the prizes have annually recognized achievements in science, literature and peace. Economics was a later addition.
Physics was the first category mentioned in Nobel’s will, likely reflecting the significance of the field during his time. Today, the Nobel Prize in Physics remains widely regarded as the most respected and admired award in the discipline (学科).
Past winners of the Nobel physics prize include some of the most influential figures in the history of science, such as Albert Einstein and Pierre and Marie Curie, as well as quantum mechanics pioneers Niels Bohr and Chen-Ning Yang.
In keeping with tradition, physics is the second Nobel to be awarded this week. The chemistry prize is due next, on Wednesday.
28．What was a key feature of the winning experiments highlighted in the passage
A．They showed quantum effects in a hand-sized circuit.
B．They were based on the previous work of Niels Bohr.
C．They focused on the medical application of quantum.
D．They combined research in physics and chemistry.
29．How did Clarke react to winning the prize
A．He believed that he deserved the award.
B．He thought the award came as a surprise.
C．He felt his contributions were finally known.
D．He expressed an interest in the prize amount.
30．What can be inferred about the Nobel Prize in Physics from the passage
A．It recognizes groundbreaking scientific work.
B．It rewards practical inventions that create wealth.
C．It is more important than awards in other disciplines.
D．It was the second Nobel Prize set up by Alfred Nobel.
31．Where is this passage most likely from
A．A physics textbook. B．A news report.
C．A research paper. D．A personal blog.
Remember when holidays were about family, not media photos There’s a growing sense that the soul of our celebrations is shifting. The warmth of tradition seems to be giving way to the glow of smartphone screens and the pressure of perfect planning.
It’s hard to ignore the commercial (商业) machine that kicks off months before a holiday. We’re bombarded with messages telling us that the best way to show love is through expensive gifts. This shopping rush can sometimes take away the true joy out of the occasion, leaving us with little more than debt and a pile of wrapping paper, wondering what truly matters.
Then there’s the social media effect. What used to be a private, heartfelt gathering is now a public performance. The pressure to present a perfect, “Instagrammable” celebration is real. We end up showing off our happiness for an online audience, sometimes forgetting to actually experience it. That perfect photo of the family dinner It might have taken an hour to stage, by which time the food is cold and everyone is annoyed, missing the genuine laughter.
Yet, it’s not all bad news. This modern approach has its benefits. We now have the freedom to create our own, more personal traditions that reflect who we are today. For friends and family members scattered across the globe, a video call can bridge the distance, bringing a different kind of closeness that our grandparents never knew.
So, where does this leave us The heart of a true celebration isn’t found in a store or in the number of likes a post receives. It’s in the messy, real, and unplanned moments of connection. Perhaps the challenge is to put our phones down, turn off the ads, and simply be present with the people we care about. That’s a tradition worth reviving for our well-being.
32．Why does the author criticize modern celebrations
A．They push people to buy the latest smartphones.
B．They completely ignore all traditional family activities.
C．They prevent people from having sincere communication.
D．They focus too much on commercial values and public image.
33．How does modern technology benefit distant family
A．By allowing online performance of perfect lives.
B．By enabling new forms of real-time connection.
C．By inspiring them to show lives on social media.
D．By providing more topics for social media posts.
34．Which can best describe the structure of the passage
A．Problem-Cause-Effect. B．Event-Description-Result.
C．Topic-Analysis-Conclusion. D．Question-Argument-Solution.
35．What could be the best title for the passage
A．The Complete Guide to Modern Holiday Planning.
B．Lost and Found: The Changing Nature of Celebration.
C．The Battle Between Traditional and Modern Holidays.
D．The Digital Shift: How Media Reshapes Celebration Joy.
Feeling unsure Here’s how to make peace with choices
Think you’re indecisive Whether it’s picking a career or a lunch, that doubt arrives. You replay the moment, wondering: Did I choose right If this sounds like you, you’re not alone.
We live in a world with endless choices. This makes you overthink and fear missing the “perfect” one. You expect every decision to bring an ideal result. When reality falls short, you feel disappointed. 36
Fortunately, here are 5 ways to break the cycle and train your mind to feel more confident and content with your decisions.
Accept “Good Enough” with pleasure
Perfection is hard to achieve. 37 Most choices aren’t life-or-death. Trust that you’ve done your best with the information you had.
38
Give yourself a deadline. Whether it’s 10 minutes for picking a dinner spot or one week for a job offer, boundaries stop you from losing control. Remember, fast decisions aren’t careless, they’re efficient.
Stop replaying the past
39 No more “what ifs”. Instead, ask: What can I learn from this Growth comes from reflection, not regret.
Celebrate your choices
Shift your focus from regret to gratitude. Every decision shapes who you are. Celebrate your courage to choose, even when it wasn’t easy.
Practice self-compassion (同情)
It’s okay to mess up. It’s okay to change your mind. Be kind to yourself. 40
A．Set a time limit for decisions.
B．Make decisions as fast as possible.
C．Once a decision is made, move forward.
D．You should try your best to achieve perfection.
E．You’re doing the best you can with what you know right now.
F．Over time, you will get stuck in a cycle: decide→regret→repeat.
G．Instead of searching for the best decision, aim for a good enough one.

The day Marnie read a complete paragraph aloud was unforgettable. She looked up at me, her face shining with a mix of surprise and 54 . It was a 55 I will carry with me forever.
When it was time to leave, I understood Professor Davis’s message. I hadn’t changed the entire village, but I had, in my own small way, changed Marnie’s world for the better.

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。
Elara stared at the 800-meter race sign-up sheet in the school hallway, her fingers hovering over the paper like nervous butterflies. Just last month, she’d struggled to finish a 400-meter PE test, far behind her classmates — her lungs burning like fire, her legs heavy as lead — until she’d finally crossed the finish line, cheeks hot with shame. “I’m not a runner,” she thought to herself, already stepping back to turn away, her shoes scraping softly against the floor.
But then she saw Coach Miller walking over, holding a stopwatch that shone in the hallway light, his smile warm and steady as a rock. “I saw you out there after class last week — running around the track even when everyone else had gone home,” he said. “That’s determination right there. Why not give it a try It’s not about being fast; it’s about challenging yourself.” His words made her pause, a tiny spark of hope lighting up in her chest. For the first time, she thought: Maybe I can stop saying “I can’t.” She picked up a pen, its plastic body cool in her palm, and wrote her name down, the ink bleeding softly into the paper.
At the starting line of the 800-meter race a week later, Elara’s hands were still shaking. A fine layer of sweat was starting to form on her forehead, and the distant cheers drifted over, mixing with the soft whisper of wind through the oak trees. She’d almost quit training last week. Her legs had ached so badly that they felt ready to give out, and tears had streamed down her cheeks as she leaned against the track fence, catching her breath. She’d never run such a long distance before, not even for fun. But Coach Miller’s words kept echoing in her mind: “It’s not about winning, but giving your best”.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
The starting gun popped, and Elara took off.

【原文】Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to east campus library. To start your tour, I’m going to give you some useful information and regulations. I won’t keep you long. First, how to enter our library. Thanks to the advanced technology, you just need to bring your student card and touch it in front of the touch point and the door will automatically open for you. Then the opening hours. Our library is open from 9 am to 10 pm every weekday. For the weekends, it’s only open from 11 am to 4 pm. Please bear that in mind, so you won’t come in vain. Our library is also open for the local residents. And there are differences for students and the public: our current students can borrow up to 12 books at a time. However, for the rest, the maximum they can borrow is 9. You need to return the books on time, or your library account will be blocked and you can’t borrow any more books. Remember books have different due days according to their popularity. Mostly, the books should be returned within 4 weeks, but for the popular books you have to bring them back within only one week. The last thing I must mention here is that you are not allowed to smoke in the library anywhere at any time. And as to drinks, only bottled water is allowed to bring in. OK, now it’s time to show you where everything is.

Dear Kevin,
I’m Li Hua, a Grade 10 student in our school. I’m excited about the “Campus Beats” program and would like to share some suggestions.
To make the activity more appealing, I think we could organize it in three main parts: a music zone where students can try different instruments, a dance corner for learning simple routines, and a quiet area for music appreciation. These activities would allow everyone to participate in their own way. I believe this event will make our campus more lively.
Thank you for considering my ideas. I wish the program a great success.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

Dear Kevin,
I’m Li Hua, a Grade 10 student in our school. I am writing to share my suggestions for the upcoming “Campus Beats” program.
I propose setting up two main sections to make the activity engaging to every student. First, an Interactive Music Stage could be set up in the main hall, where students can try various instruments and even join a pop-up choir. Second, a Dance Corner on the lawn would be perfect for learning simple group dances. I believe this program can help students reduce stress, develop new hobbies, and build stronger connections with peers. A well-organized “Campus Beats” will definitely make our school a more vibrant and harmonious community.
I hope you can take my suggestions into favorable consideration, and I look forward to a wonderful “Campus Beats” program.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
67．范文一：
The starting gun popped, and Elara took off. At first, she ran steadily, but gradually her legs felt like lead. Her breath came in short gasps, and she felt an urge to stop. “Maybe this was a mistake,” a voice whispered. Just then, she heard her classmates shouting, “Elara! Keep going!” She glanced over and saw Coach Miller waving, a big smile on his face. Suddenly, she remembered why she’d joined: not to get a championship, but to prove she could overcome her fear.
New strength filling her, she pushed forward firmly. When she crossed the finish line, she was last, but she finished! Her classmates gathered around. “You did it!” they cheered. Coach patted her on the shoulder, “That’s the spirit of sports.” Elara straightened up, gratefully meeting every pair of eyes. She wiped her sweat and smiled. She didn’t win, but she’d made the best choice—never giving up. It was at that moment that she realized success isn’t just about speed but the courage to keep trying.

The starting gun popped, and Elara took off. Nervous though she was, she summoned up her strength to run forward. No sooner had she completed the first lap than her legs began burning, and doubts flooded in. Glaring at the seemingly endless track ahead, she could no longer contain her despair. Yet Coach Miller’s words, like a lighthouse guiding her through the storm of doubt, kept echoing in her mind. The cheers from her classmates also became her driving force. “I can do this,” she whispered, biting her lip against exhaustion. Their belief in her inspired a flame of hope within.
New strength filling her, she pushed forward firmly. Though worn out and breathless, she dug deep, pushing harder with each steady step until she had carried herself past two struggling runners. The moment she finally crossed the finish line, her hands shot skyward. Tears of excitement welled up in her shining eyes. “I really did it!” she cried out, her voice full of joy and relief.
