Five years ago, it would have been more likely that I'd be turning out for Chelsea Football Club than attending the RHS Chelsea flower show, let alone building a garden there. As a promising young footballer, gardening was not part of my vocabulary.
It was after a disaster that I found gardening to be a form of relief, The night of 14 June, 2017 changed my life forever. The Grenfell Tower fire took the lives of 72 people. Living nearby, I was completely broken. I took to the streets to be among others in my attempt to find some comfort or peace of mind. What I encountered changed my attitude entirely.
With no thought or plan, I channelled my energy into greening and beautifying a deserted, unloved community space. I honestly didn't have a clue what I was doing, but that didn’t matter. I journeyed to every garden centre within reach, asking for plants to be donated to our newly-developed community space. The response was strong, People would walk past and share a smile or some conversation. Phone numbers were exchanged and group chats were created. Dates and times were set for organised gatherings to share our stories, knowledge and history.
What’s eye-catching in the garden is a mangrove (红杉树) sculpture. Made with wood from deforested mangroves, it aims to raise awareness of the harmful impact we are having on the world as we continue to cut down our trees for profit. The building of the garden has been a community effort, and shows what can be done when people pull together and do something positive.
If visitors take one thing from the garden, I hope it is the awareness that we can come together as a community not just to respond to a disaster, but for the future generations who will have to live with the consequences of our actions today.
24. What do we know about the author
A. He was the founder of a football club. B. He stayed peaceful during the fire.
C. He changed his attitude to gardening. D. He was the organizer of a flower show.
25. Why do people gather in the garden
A. To communicate with each other. B. To find a place free from accidents.
C. To purchase cheap green plants. D. To enjoy the beauty of the mangroves.
26. What contributes to the building of the garden
A. Joint efforts of the community. B. Supports from the government.
C. The author's deep love for plants. D. The author’s professional gardening skills.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Painful Lessons From a Disaster. B. Unexpected Gains From Gardening.
C. Possible Solutions to Deforestation. D. Friendly Reminders to a Community.
C
Art may not be a uniquely human patent. Apes (猿), monkeys, elephants, dolphins and even rabbits can be encouraged to express themselves via pencil and paper.
New research on the artistic efforts of apes suggests that their work varies according to changes in the world around them. The new study, published in the journal Animals, focuses on hundreds of drawings produced by five female apes at Japan's Tama Zoological Park, where keepers provided them with crayons and paper over many years as part of a behavioural enrichment programme.
One of the apes, named Molly, was especially productive. She only started drawing on her 54th birthday, but from that point on, until her death five years later, she produced about 1,300 pictures. She drew almost every day, creating more complex pictures than her companions. “I don’t know if We can describe her as a genius,” says Sueur, a biologist in the park. “Such differences are often observed between individuals of a species, with some smarter than others.” Sueur and his colleagues identified individual differences between the apes’ artistic styles, in terms of their preferred colors, the types of shapes they drew and the space they filled on the paper. Only Moly routinely filled most of the space available.
Moly’s style changed with the season too. In summer and winter, greens dominated her pictures, but she switched to pinks and purples in spring and autumn. Appealingly, she opted for red whenever another female in the group was giving birth, which may indicate that her paintings are something more than purely abstract.
“We’ve tried not to overinterpret,” says Sueur. “It could be earlier representational art.” The biologists suggest that apes may provide clues to the development of artistic skills in humans. Like children, and unlike other species known to put pen to paper, the apes needed no reward to participate in the task, suggesting that they enjoy it for its own interest.
28. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs
A. Animals’ artwork style remains unchanged.
B. Female animals do much better in art creation.
C. Animals can create masterpieces through efforts.
D. Some animals can acquire artistic skills like humans.
29. What might influence the apes’ performance in art creation
A. Their starting age of creation. B. Their preferred seasons.
C. Individual differences between them. D. The quantity of their creation.
30. What do the underlined words “opted for” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Chose. B. Described. C. Interpreted. D. Abandoned.
31. What can be concluded from apes’ acquiring artistic skills
A. Practice makes perfect. B. The sooner begun, the better done.
C. Interest is the best teacher. D. God helps those who help themselves.

Imagine California without its fantastic beaches. This is an exercise in seeing the future. In the coming decades, two-thirds of the sandy shores of Santa Monica, Los Angeles, may be lost to the Pacific Ocean's ring levels and increasing wave strength as more land is washed away. Traditional defenses are weak; one sea wall, built to last 20 years, lasted just 6 weeks, writes journalist Rosanna Xia in California Against the Sea. The book invites readers to predict the future of California’s coasts and consider more transformative solutions.
California Against the Sea starts with the state's oldest stories about coastal adaptation. At the end of the last ice age, the Chumash people settled and then retreated (撤离) from the Channel Islands, marking their own hard decision in the face of 400 feet of sea level change. The book then moves to the mainland and the luxurious homes of Laguna Beach, where wealthy owners are at war with state regulators ( 监管者). Private seawalls, secretly constructed, are protecting beachfront houses—for a time—while dangerously quickening the destruction of public beaches.
Xia goes on to visit 12 more sites up and down the coast, building out stories that present a different vision of the disappearing coast- -some worrying failures, some spots of hope. Her journey features all of the marks of a California road trip: the advocates from movie stars, an eaten away beach and, most of all, residents wresting with the decision of whether to stay or to leave.
She continuously uplifts conventional wisdom and voices, highlighting Native people’s growing role in coastal management. Readers learn, for example, about a first-of-its-kind returning of undeveloped coastal land to the Pomo Indians—an act that saves the region from risky development and will help preserve its natural defenses.
“To resist change is to miss out on opportunities to create a better future. To remain unchanged is to buy into the long-held belief that the world today is as good as it gets.” Xia writes. And in several other passages, she puts forward the discussion of “managed retreat” and “unmanaged disaster” beyond the field of science and politics, allowing readers to think about the urgent phenomena in a novel way.
32. What is the book intended to
A. Criticize the traditional costal defenses.
B. Call on people to retreat from California.
C. Put forward the approaches to protecting sea.
D. Bring California coastal problems into focus.
33. Why are the two stories told at the beginning of the book
A. To confirm the necessity of building private sea walls.
B. To reveal the conflicts between people and regulators.
C. To introduce the luxurious life of wealthy house owners.
D. To highlight the critical situation of the coastal problems.
34. What's the contributing factor in solving the coastal problems
A. Turning to movie stars for donations. B. Native people's coastal management.
C. Raising more funds through tourism. D. Dependence on traditional wisdom.
35. What might Rosanna Xia agree with
A. Blind confidence may spell disasters.
B. Long-held belief should be respected.
C. Politics dominates the coastal protection.
D. Chances of making changes are not enough.

Embracing Imperfections- A Journey of Self-Acceptance
Life is a series of ups and downs, and along the way, we often make mistakes. It’s crucial to remember that no one is perfect and we all fall at times. 36 Instead, let’s shift our mindset and learn to embrace our imperfections as opportunities for growth.
Start by acknowledging that mistakes are an essential part of the human experience. As we all know, a butterfly emerges from its cocoon (茧). 37 Reflect on the lessons learned from each mistake and the wisdom gained along the way.

39 Share your experiences with trusted friends or those who can offer advice and wisdom. Surround yourself with individuals who uplift and inspire you to embrace your imperfections and pursue growth.
Now, let’s redirect our focus to self-care. Accept that mistakes happen, learn from them, and use that newfound knowledge to push yourself forward. Remember, the most successful people have encountered countless setbacks on their path to greatness. 40
Lastly, never underestimate the power of gratitude. Develop a gratitude practice by acknowledging the blessings in your life, no matter how small. Gratitude shifts our focus from what went wrong to what is going well, encouraging a positive mindset and promoting self-acceptance.
A. We shouldn't beat ourselves up over our errors.
B. So treat yourself with kindness and understanding.
C. We too can transform and develop through our errors.
D. Are you trustworthy, creative, or a great problem solver

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。
Sarah, a high school student, was always eager to participate in every activity happening in school life, and she often persuaded her best friend, Anthony, to join her.
One day, Sarah saw a poster announcing the annual Great Bake-off Challenge. Excitedly, she explained to Anthony how the winner would be granted a baking masterclass with the well-known baker, Chef Bella. Both Sarah and Anthony loved baking and idolized (崇拜) chef Bella, whose cooking show was popular across the country.
However, they realized the competition would be tough as their school had its share of talented bakers. Despite this, Sarah suggested that they combine their strengths to participate as a team. Anthony agreed, and they started the journey to win the Great Bake-off Challenge.
Sarah and Anthony started by shortlisting their strengths: Sarah was skilled at constructing and decorating cakes, while Anthony was good at developing delicious flavors. They spent weekends brainstorming, testing, and perfecting their baking recipes, transforming Sarah’s family kitchen into their very own bake-off battleground.
As the date of the competition got closer, they grew more anxious. They even had a few arguments about the cake’s design or the flavor combination, but they quickly resolved their disagreements and continued to work together as a team.
The day of the Great Bake-off Challenge finally arrived. Sarah and Anthony walked into the school hall, their hearts pounding with a mix of anticipation and fear. The setup had multiple workstations, each equipped with an oven, a mixer, and basic baking tools. The participants were given three hours to complete their cakes, after which the judges would evaluate each creation based on taste and originality.
The countdown began, and the couple sprung into action. Anthony worked on the complex flavor combinations, while Sarah started building the cake's impressive structure. During the intensity, they couldn't help but steal a glance at the other competitors, admiring their opponents’ skills and creativity. However, they remained focused on their creation, supporting and encouraging each other throughout the process.
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。
Three hours unconsciously passed and the deadline was up. The judges began their round of tasting and assessments.

Dear Johnson,
In response to your letter, I would like to express my preference for printed books.
First of all, the texture of the pages, the smell of the paper, the satisfaction of turning a leaf, all contribute to enhancing my reading experience. Besides, they save me from the eye strain caused by electronic devices. I also treasure the absence of digital interruptions, which offers me an immersive and peaceful experience.
Looking forward to hearing your opinion on this topic as well.
Yours,

Three hours unconsciously passed and the deadline was up. They took a step back and started admiring their accomplishment. It’s an extraordinary five-layer cake with an incredible mix of flavors and impressive decorations, displaying their beautiful journey together as friends. Drawing inspiration from their idol, Chef Bella, they sought to create not just a cake, but a great work of art. With dusted faces and flour-covered aprons, they looked at each other nervously, wondering whether they had done enough to win over the judges.
The judges began their round of tasting and assessments. When the judges approached to sample their cake, they held their breath. Every bite the judges took, every whisper they shared intensified their anxiety. After what seemed like a century, the result was announced: “The winners are Sarah and Anthony!” Their hearts expanded with happiness as they hugged each other tight, holding back tears of joy. Their hard work finally paid off, and they would soon stand in the same kitchen with their beloved Chef Bella.

M: Good afternoon, students. My name is Dr. Adam Tilly. For over 20 years, I’ve journeyed from an eager student like yourselves to an expert in renewable energy. I’m here today to share my
journey. Early in my career, I saw the ocean as an endless power source. We designed devices to efficiently transform the ocean’s energy into electricity. But then, something happened. A video showed our devices were harming some sea life. We didn’t give up. Instead, we made our devices safer. We also started looking at other ways to make power, like using wind on land. This way, we could protect the ocean and still make renewable energy. Because of this, I’ve made a course called “Renewable Energy and Environmental Impact”. You can take it next semester. It’ll help you learn about energy and how to protect the environment. In addition, we offer an exciting work experience opportunity at our Renewable Energy Lab. Here, you can apply your classroom learning and witness first-hand how innovation and environmental responsibility combine. Remember, education is not just about gaining knowledge, but also about understanding its application and implications in the real world. Your journey towards being professionals starts now, and I urge you to approach it with both ambition and awareness. Thank you.

续写思路：三个小时不知不觉就过去了，截止时间已到。他们退后一步，开始欣赏他们 的成果。但他们不知道自己是否已经做得足够好以赢得评委的认可。评委们开始品尝和评估， 经过看似漫长的时间，结果宣布出来：“获胜者是莎拉和安东尼！”他们紧紧拥抱在一起，他 们的辛勤付出终于得到了回报。

第二段：评委们开始品尝和评估。当评委们走过来品尝他们的蛋糕时，他们屏住了呼吸。 评委们每一口的咀嚼声，每一个低语都加剧了他们的焦虑。经过看似漫长的时间，结果宣布 出来：“获胜者是莎拉和安东尼！” 他们紧紧拥抱在一起，他们的辛勤付出终于得到了回报， 他们很快将与他们的偶像面点师贝拉站在同一个厨房里。
