During a break at work last spring, I took a quick look at my Facebook account. I had several notifications (通知), and one of them was a friend request. I looked more closely at the screen and saw my grandmother’s picture next to the request. “Barbara Haywood sent you a friend request,” the notification stated. Maybe it was a joke. I hated to think that someone could have opened an account under my grandmother’s name.
I called my mom at the end of the workday. “I have a friend request from Mammie. Is it really from her ” I asked. “It is,” my mom confirmed. She explained that my uncle Buster had helped her set up the account. “That is so amazing,” I said. I opened my app and wrote a welcome message on my grandmother’s page.
Mammie learned about Facebook gradually. At first, she simply “liked” pictures of the family. After a while, she figured out how to add comments. Her Facebook proficiency (熟练) is not of great importance. It’s the fact that she’s on social media and has daily access to pictures of her family.
My grandmother has four children, ten grandchildren, and ten great-grandchildren. We all live fairly close to her, but we also lead very busy lives. And though we invite Mammie to many performances and games, her lack of the ability to move limits her attendance. Now that she has a Facebook account, she doesn’t have to miss a thing. She can keep up with the latest trends (动向) and view vacation pictures.
However, she has a special way of commenting on posts. She calls us all her little babies, and she always signs her comments, “Love, Mammie.” A friend asked me the other day if I was going to tell her that she didn’t need to sign her name at the end of her comments. “I sure am not,” I told my friend. “She can use Facebook however she wants. I’m not criticizing a single thing she does.”
24．How did the author react to the friend request from her grandmother at first
A．She thought it was important. B．She agreed to it.
C．She had some doubts about it. D．She paid no attention to it.
25．What really matters about her grandmother according to the author
A．Her habit of posting remarks. B．Her activity on social media.
C．Her continuous development and learning. D．Her proficient use of the Facebook.
26．What does the author think of her grandmother’s using Facebook
A．It’s a method to record her everyday activities. B．It’s a means to discover and learn about the world.
C．It’s an opportunity to build new friendships. D．It’s a way to get involved in the big family.
27．What is the best title for the text
A．The Right Way to Use Facebook B．A Grandmother’s Special Comments
C．Mammie Joins the Social Media World D．How Technology Changes Family
Although China is the world’s leading manufacturing (制造) power, it has long fallen behind in creating imaginative, home-grown retail (零售) brands and products. That, however, is beginning to change.
Innovative Chinese brands are appearing everywhere. From Stockholm to Sydney, the electric cars silently passing by are increasingly likely to be Chinese. Mixue, an ice-cream and cold drinks company, has overtaken McDonald’s to become the world’s largest fast-food chain by number of outlets. Chagee, a chain of tea shops, is on track to have at least 1,300 stores outside China by the end of 2027, mostly in Southeast Asia. Meanwhile, Pop Mart, a Chinese toy company, has created a buzz as much as Disney with its unusual grinning nine-toothed dolls, called Labubu. It is impossible not to admire the creative force behind these successful businesses.
Western customers have been buying products made in China for decades. However, these goods were mostly designed by and produced for foreign companies. Chinese brands were long regarded as low-quality and lacking creativity.
New companies are now challenging these old assumptions. Many proudly emphasize their Chinese heritage. For example, Chagee’s logo features a Peking Opera singer in full costume, and its name comes from “Farewell, My Concubine,” a classic Chinese opera.
Today, many Chinese brands compete not only on price but also on quality. Chagee’s drinks can even be as expensive as Starbucks’. Western companies will need to wake up and take notice of bubble tea. In the future, they will have to make more efforts to understand Chinese consumers’ unique tastes. Some may even cooperate with innovative Chinese firms to gain insight and inspiration. Competition from China could eventually push Disney, Mattel toys, and other major Western brands to reach new levels of creativity.
28．What does the underlined part “created a buzz” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Failed to attract attention. B．Received negative comments.
C．Stirred up interest. D．Made a loud noise.
29．What is the author’s attitude towards the rise of Chinese innovative brands
A．Critical. B．Appreciative. C．Doubtful. D．Unconcerned.
30．What can we infer about Western companies in the future from the text
A．They will ignore the competition of Chinese brands.
B．They have to be more innovative in their brands.
C．They are going to beat Chinese creative brands.
D．They will stop cooperating with Chinese firms.
31．What is the passage mainly about
A．Why Western companies should learn from Chinese brands.
B．The history of Chinese retail brands.
C．The rise of creative Chinese brands globally.
D．How foreign firms win Chinese customers.
Jason, a straight-A student from the University of Pennsylvania, uses the term “pseudo-working” to describe how many of us study. The pseudo-worker looks and feels like someone who is working hard—he or she spends a long time in the library and is not afraid to push on late into the night—but, because of a lack of focus and concentration, he or she doesn’t actually accomplish much.
This phenomenon can be seen in most colleges. For example, at Dartmouth there was a section of the main library that was open twenty-four hours a day and the students I used to see in there late at night crowded in groups, drinking coffee, were definitely pseudo-working.
By placing themselves in distracting environments and insisting on working long hours, these students are damaging their brain’s ability to think clearly and efficiently to accomplish the task at hand. In the end they get half the results with twice the effort. The bigger problem here is that most students don’t even realize they’re pseudo-working. To them pseudo-working is work—it’s how they’ve always done it, and it’s how all of their friends do it. It never crosses their mind that there might be a better way.
On the other hand, straight-A students know all about pseudo-working. They fear it and for good reason it not only wastes time, but it’s also mentally tiring.
In fact, the most important skill in becoming a better student is the ability to get work done quickly and with a minimum of wasted effort. Some cognitive (认知的) science research concludes that about 50 minutes is the optimal learning period to maximize the material learned per time unit.
So how can students manage to study efficiently One key factor is in the following simple formula: work accomplished= time spent × intensity of focus. Pseudo-working features a very low intensity of focus. Therefore, to accomplish something by pseudo-working, you need to spend a lot of time. The straight-A student maximizes intensity of focus in order to minimize time.
32．What is the main characteristic of pseudo-working
A．Working in quiet and isolated environments.
B．Achieving little despite long working hours.
C．Finishing tasks efficiently with high focus.
D．Studying in groups with friends late at night.
33．What can be inferred from paragraph 3
A．Straight-A students believe some tasks are worth twice the effort.
B．Too much thinking may weaken the brain’s ability of the students.
C．Many students don’t fully realize the negative effects of pseudo-working.
D．Students will get good grades once they realize that pseudo-working is ineffective.
34．What does the underlined word “optimal” mean in paragraph 5
A．best B．fast C．least D．effective
35．Why does the author list out “work accomplished = time spent × intensity of focus”
A．To prove the necessity of accomplishing work.
B．To show the benefit of working hard.
C．To explain the reason for spending much time
D．To emphasize the importance of concentration

My mission at twelve was clear: to become the first girl to master the huge skateboard ramp (斜坡) in our town park. It was a towering concrete bowl, a region 41 by confident teenage boys. To them, I was 42 — just a little girl with pink elbow pads (护肘垫). My older brother would offer 43 , “Just drop in, Alex! It’s all in your head.” But “dropping in” was 44 . It meant committing my weight to the abyss (深渊). Every time I stood at the edge, fear 45 me. The boys’ occasional laughing would make me step back, 46 .

四、语法填空
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
India faces a severe air pollution crisis, 56 (rank) among the world’s top 10 most polluted countries. India is losing sunlight.
A new study 57 (conduct) by six Indian scientists finds that, over the past three decades, sunshine hours 58 (decline) steadily across most of India, driven by clouds, aerosols (气溶胶) and local weather. All of nine India’s 59 (geographic) diverse regions showed an overall annual decline in sunshine hours, though the rate of decrease varied across India.
Rapid urbanization, industrial 60 (grow) and land-use changes drove up fossil fuel use, biomass burning and vehicle emissions, sending aerosols into the atmosphere and dimming the Sun’s rays. In winter, high air pollution from smog, temperature inversions (逆温) and crop burning across the Indo-Gangetic plains produces light-scattering aerosols, 61 reduce sunshine hours. These aerosols — tiny solid or liquid particles from dust, vehicle exhaust, crop burning, 62 other sources — persist in the air long enough to affect sunlight, climate and health.
Aerosols have reduced the amount of sunlight reaching the ground in India by about 13% between 1993 and 2022, according to Sachchida Nand Tripathi, 63 atmospheric scientist at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur. Some Indian scientists show concern 64 agriculture, daily life and India’s solar energy ambitions. Solar 65 (make) up 47% of India’s renewable energy capacity at present. But declining sunlight could cast a shadow on the country’s solar ambitions.

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。
It was only two weeks before the school drama festival, but our Drama Club was in crisis. Our play The Lost World had a sudden accident — Lily, who played the lead role, hurt her ankle during practice and couldn’t perform. Without her, we had to either cancel the performance or find a replacement quickly. The whole team felt hopeless, because no one else knew her lines well enough. As the club’s scriptwriter (编剧), I called an emergency meeting after school to discuss whether there was anyone willing to take over Lily’s role.
The whole room fell silent, with no one making a sound. Lily’s lines were long and emotional, and learning them in two weeks seemed impossible. I looked around — some members stared at their shoes silently; others whispered anxiously. Suddenly, Emma, a quiet girl who usually worked backstage, raised her hand. “I can try,” she said softly. “I’ve watched every practice and memorized most of the lines. I know I’m not as confident as Lily, but I don’t want our hard work to be wasted” Everyone was shocked. Emma had never acted before, but her eyes showed determination.
We decided to give Emma a chance. However, during the first practice with her, she froze up several times and forgot her lines. Some teammates sighed in disappointment, and I could see Emma’s eyes filling with tears. Seeing her sitting alone silently at the back after practising, I walked over and put my hand on her shoulder: “No one becomes perfect overnight. We’ll practice with you every day. ” For the next weeks, we stayed after school, repeating scenes until Emma’s performance became more natural. Every member helped— some prepared backdrops and props; others practised acting and lines with her again and again. To much Emma’s relief, Lily even offered her some practical advice through video calls. Slowly, she became more and more confident and her performance became better and better. On the night of the festival, the auditorium was packed with teachers and students.
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。
As Emma walked onto the stage, I could see her hands shaking a little.

After the performance, the audience’s reaction surprised everyone.

W: Ian lives in Austin, Texas. He’s now 16 years old. Seven years ago he was still in third grade. He learned that some kids at his school weren’t getting enough to eat at home. Though he was not even ten years old then, he wanted to help. For years, he had gardened with his mom, so he believed he was good at gardening. He thought that perhaps he could try to start a garden. He wanted to help feed those people who were in need. Ian took action and persuaded his school to set aside space for a garden. He asked the community for help with seeds and equipment. Other students gave their time. Now Ian’s Giving Garden project has entered five schools. It has provided more than 20,000 pounds of produce for Austin families and food organizations. He now even organizes online cooking classes.

66．Dear Peter,
I’m writing to apologize sincerely. I promised to help you with Chinese last week but failed to show up, nor did I tell you in time. I feel really guilty.
The reason is our school held an urgent training camp for the “Soul of China” Mandarin Speech Competition. I was selected to join and had to rush to the training, which made me forget to inform you.
To make up, could we meet this weekend I’ll prepare extra materials to help you catch up. Please let me know your schedule.
Again, sorry for the trouble I caused.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
67．As Emma walked onto the stage, I could see her hands shaking a little. She took a deep breath, glanced at our team and started. Her first line was steady. Though she paused once, she quickly relaxed, pouring emotion into her words. When acting out the danger scene, her voice trembled with the role’s fear, not nervousness. I held my breath, watching her move naturally, just like we’d practiced countless times. Soon, no one remembered she was a replacement.
After the performance, the audience’s reaction surprised everyone. Silence hung briefly before the auditorium erupted in cheers. Students stood waving, teachers nodded in praise. Lily, in a wheelchair by the door, cried and clapped hard. Emma froze for a moment, then bowed deeply with tears in her eyes. We rushed to hug her. “You did it!” I said. She laughed through tears, “We did it.” That night, we learned teamwork turns crisis into wonder. Our play’s success was more than a show; it was an unforgettable lesson.
