Born on March 21, 1958, in Louisiana, Grant Cardone is not a typical celebrity. He didn’t come from a wealthy family. He’s not a Hollywood superstar, nor does he have some amazing talents, like script-writing, politics or athleticism. However, what he has is something that is available to us all, and that is a determination to succeed.
At the age of 25, Cardone took the first job that he could find. That job was as a car salesman. It was a title and a position that Grant was not very fond of. However, the economy was slow, which meant he didn’t have many options, so he made it work.
Cardone was committed to becoming the best salesperson he could be. So, he invested (投资) heavily in his own self-improvement by reading books and studying his craft and his industry. After committing himself to becoming his very best, his income quickly doubled. And soon thereafter, he became one of the best car salesmen in the country. He eventually moved on to running his own business, and was extremely smart and disciplined (自律的) with his money. Cardone only spent money on what was absolutely necessary for food and housing. He would place anything left over into an investment fund just for the property market.
Cardone’s focus on learning more so that he could earn more, along with having the discipline to invest his extra money, instead of wasting it on useless things, helped him become a self-made millionaire just five years later by the age of 30.
Cardone has since gone on to become a well-known international businessman, speaker and the owner of Cardone Capital, a $ 1.5 billion investment firm. He’s authored the New York Times bestselling books If You’re Not First, You’re Last, and other famous books like The 10X Rule, and Axiom Award winning Sell or Be Sold. In addition to this, he also founded Cardone University, a popular sales training platform that has over 50,000,000 and growing users.
It took Cardone only five years to completely change his entire life. With the right mindset and sufficient willpower,
just imagine what five years could do for you.
24．Why did Cardone choose to become a car salesman
A．To meet a superstar. B．To do research on cars.
C．To support himself. D．To maintain his interest.
25．How did Cardone handle his money
A．He bought many clothes. B．He helped his family members.
C．He spent it on useful things. D．He put most of it in the bank.
26．What does paragraph 5 mainly tell us about Cardone
A．His achievements. B．The plans for his company.
C．His experiences of education. D．The reasons for his popularity.
27．What can we learn from Cardone’s story
A．Failure is the mother of success.
B．Investment is risky but rewarding.
C．Making money calls for professional advice.
D．Success requires determination and efforts.

How often have you wondered what the boy sitting across from you on the bus is really thinking It seems that you will never really know for sure. After all, the content of our thoughts is unperceivable to anyone else.
Neuroscience (神经科学) research into how we think and what we’re thinking makes it possible to watch directly into the brain to read out the physical make-up of our thoughts, some would say to read our minds.
The technology that is changing what once was impossible in science into just plain science is a specialized use of MRI scanning (扫描) called “functional MRI”, fMRI for short. It makes it possible to see what’s going on inside the brain while people are thinking.
What neuroscientist Marcel Just and his colleagues have done is combine fMRI’s ability to look at the brain in action with computer science's new power to sort through massive amounts of data. The goal is to see if they could identify exactly what happens in the brain when people think specific thoughts.
They did an experiment where they asked subjects to think about ten objects—five of them tools like scissors or rulers, and live of them buildings like castles or towers. They then recorded and analyzed the activity in the subjects’ brains for each. When we think “ruler” or “tower” for example, Just says neurons start firing at varying levels of intensity (强度) in different areas throughout the brain. “And we found that we could identify which object they were thinking about from their brain activation patterns (激活模式) . We're identifying the thought that’s taking place,” he said.
IMRI scanning has already been used to try to figure out what we want to buy and how to sell it to us. It’s a new field called “neuromarketing”. One of its pioneers, Gemma Calvert, says it’s a growing field. “What we’ve seen is a sort of snowballing effect over the last few years.”
28．Which can best replace the underlined word “unperceivable” in paragraph 1
A．Definite. B．Professional. C．Various. D．Secret.
29．What is fMRI used to do
A．Observe your physical activities. B．Introduce plain science to the public.
C．Figure out what you are thinking about. D．Find out how your brain is made up of.
30．What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A．The process of the experiment. B．The objects used in the experiment.
C．The major findings of the research. D．The subjects involved in the research.
31．What does Gemma Calvert think of neuromarketing
A．Fruitless. B．Promising. C．Challenging. D．Unpredictable.
D
In the summer of 2020, a devastating wildfire, ignited by a lightning strike, swept across 43,000 acres of Cima Dome within the Mojave National Preserve in California. This area is renowned for being home to the planet’s most extensive Joshua tree forest. The inferno led to the destruction of 1.3 million Joshua trees, which equates to roughly a quarter of the forest’s population. The task of rehabilitating this ecosystem was a formidable one. However, an unconventional approach was implemented to aid in the revival of these distinctive desert flora: employing camels to assist in the restoration efforts.
During the ice age, the now-extinct giant sloths played a pivotal role in the dispersal of Joshua tree seeds through their feeding habits. In their absence, smaller mammals have assumed this function, but with significantly less effectiveness. “Joshua tree seeds are not dispersed rapidly,” remarked Debra Hughson, a worker at the Mojave National Preserve. “Their movement is slow and limited when relying solely on the presence of small mammals.”
The strategy focused initially on reviving the Cima Dome region due to its higher altitude, which offers the trees a better chance of withstanding the impacts of climate change. Hughson, along with her team of professional volunteers, commenced the planting of seedlings in the scorched landscape. However, the theoretically sound plan did not translate well into practice. The location’s remote wilderness status means that even reaching it requires a multi-hour hike.
This is where Herbie, Sully, and Chico, three camels, stepped in as unlikely heroes.
The innovative idea to utilize these camels originated from Nance Fite, a 70-year-old volunteer at the reserve. Upon learning about the restoration initiative, she dedicated herself to persuading the Park Service to enlist the camels’ assistance. She also managed to convince her friend Jennifer Lagusker, the camels’ owner, to bring them to the preserve. Since 2021, these three camels have been instrumental in the restoration process, with approximately 3,500 young Joshua trees planted to date. They have been instrumental in transporting water and seedlings during the lengthy treks across the desert reserve.
Upon completion of this phase of work, the Park Service intends to concentrate on another area ravaged by the wildfire. The camels will stand ready to provide their services wherever they are required in the ongoing efforts to restore the Mojave National Preserve.
32．What happened to the Mojave National Preserve in 2020？ ______
A．Joshua trees in this area went extinct.
B．Lightning caused damage to its camels.
C．A wildfire swept across the whole reserve.
D．Its desert trees encountered a natural disaster.
33．What do the underlined words “the role” in paragraph 2 refer to？ ______
A．Spreading the seeds. B．Restoring the trees.
C．Helping giant sloths. D．Working for a reserve.
34．Why did the volunteer team’s first attempt turn out ineffective？ ______
A．Hiking was legally forbidden in the wilderness.
B．They had trouble traveling to the Cima Dome area.
C．Few people in the team were willing to plant seedlings.
D．The trees couldn’t survive the effects of climate change.
35．What can we learn from the text？ ______
A．The idea of using camels was initially adopted easily.
B．The Park Service is satisfied with the camels’ work.
C．Nance Fite is responsible for raising the three camels.
D．The restoration project has been followed in many areas.

World Environment Day, celebrated annually on June 5th, is a global event that encourages action for the protection of our environment. Established by the United Nations in1974, it has become a platform for the public in over 100 countries. 36 Here are four simple ways you can care for your environment.
●Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
The principle “reduce, reuse, recycle” is important. 37 Reduce: Be mindful of your consumption. Use products with minimal packaging and consider if you truly need that new item. Reuse: Think of creative ways to repurpose items. Recycle: Make sure to recycle paper, plastics, metals, and electronics.
●Conserve water
Water is a precious resource, and conserving it helps ensure its availability for future generations. A dripping faucet can waste gallons of water over time so ensure all taps, pipes, and toilets are leak-free. 38
●Choose sustainable transportation
Transportation is a significant source of greenhouse gases. Opting for more sustainable modes of transport can make a big difference. 39 Also consider buses, trains, or carpooling to reduce the vehicles on the road. Consider investing in an electric vehicle, which has a lower environmental impact compared to traditional cars.
● 40
This step helps reduce your carbon footprint and promotes sustainable agriculture. Local products travel shorter distances to reach you, reducing transportation emissions. Plus, organic farming practices reduce the use of pesticides and fertilizers, promoting soil health.
Small, consistent actions can lead to significant benefits. Remember, every action counts ,and together we can create a more sustainable future.
A．Support local and organic products
B．For short distances, consider walking or cycling.
C．Improve air quality and provide habitats for wildlife.
D．This year, we focus on everyday steps that anyone can take.
E．Use water-efficient appliances, for example, low-flow shower heads.
F．It reminds us of the reasoning behind minimizing waste and conserving resources.
G．They include these simple practices into your daily life and contribute to our planet.

The core value of Chinese traditional culture is the concept of harmony. Harmony is, in fact, a complete cultural system that consists of not only 56 (value) but also a philosophy with its own world outlook. Harmony means “proper and balanced cooperation between things”.
With harmony at the heart, traditional Chinese principles suggest that there is a built-in dynamic in the universe that turns imbalance into balance. This concept, deeply 57 (mix) into the history of Chinese society, advocates for a balanced and 58 (peace) coexistence within the individual, between people, and between humanity and nature.
At the center of Chinese cultural harmony is the belief in the interconnectedness of all things. It 59 (reflect) in various aspects of Chinese life, from the emphasis on family unity and social bond 60 the practice of traditional arts and the governance of the state.
The significance of harmony in Chinese culture cannot be overstated. It has shaped China’s approach to international relations, 61 (highlight) harmonious coexistence and shared benefit. In taking care of the environment, 62 inspires efforts to live according to natural cycles and to respect all forms of life. Moreover, the concept of harmony, 63 has enabled China to maintain social 64 (stable) and cultural consistency despite the challenges of history, offers a model for settling conflicts and promoting a sense of community and belonging. As the world becomes 65 (steady) interconnected, the principles of Chinese cultural harmony offer valuable insights for creating a more balanced and sustainable global society.

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 the summer of 2005, Kathryn Fumie, having just finished her freshman year of college, was living in an apartment and learning to cook. One day, she decided to make soup on the stove.
As the soup gently cooked on the stove, Fumie went to check on it. In a moment of distraction, she accidentally knocked the pot over, causing the boiling soup to splash onto her hand. The pain was immediate and unbearable, and she quickly realized she had severely burned her skin.
Her classmate, who was nearby, saw the accident and quickly called for an ambulance. Within minutes, the ambulance arrived, and an EMT (急救医疗医生), wearing a mask, began to assist her. The EMT helped Fumie stay calm during the 45-minute drive to the hospital, despite her continuously asking for some alleviation of her pain.
“Could you do something to ease my pain, please Could I have a cold pack ” Fumie asked repeatedly. The EMT explained gently but firmly that he couldn’t give her a cold pack because extreme cold might cause further damage to her already injured skin. She had to tolerate the pain until they reached the burn unit.
At the hospital, the doctor treating her took a compassionate (有同情心的) approach. He talked to her throughout the treatment process to help distract her from the pain. They chatted about various topics, including her part-time job at a factory, which helped to take her mind off her injuries. Most importantly, the doctor made her know that she was going to be okay.
“He had an amazing voice, and just was so calm. He made sure that I got the right treatment,” Fumie remembered. The doctor’s professional and empathetic demeanor made a significant difference in her experience.
Fumie was in hospital for four and a half days, receiving excellent care. Two months later, fully recovered, she returned to her part-time job as a receptionist at the factory. However, the story didn’t stop here.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150个左右；

66．Dear Editor,
I am writing to express my views on the topic of effective stress relief. I have noticed that some students adopt unhealthy habits such as overindulging in junk food or staying up late to relieve stress, which can have bad effects on their health.
To combat this, students are encouraged to engage in regular physical exercise, which can alleviate tension and improve mood. Additionally, time management is crucial to allocating time for studies and leisure, preventing last-minute stress. Finally, seeking support from family, friends and teachers can provide emotional relief.
I hope my suggestions can contribute to the discussion and inspire students to adopt healthier stress-relief methods. Thank you for considering my input.
Yours,
Li Hua
