Is That Bike Diesel, Mate : One man, one bike and the first Lap Around Australia on Used Cooking Oil by Paul Carter
There are lots of ways to travel around Australia. You could do it by plane, train or car. But author Paul Carter decided to tour the country on a homemade motorcycle that runs on cooking oil. Why Well, the author worked in the oil industry for many years, and was keen to explore alternative fuels. So, he bought the unusual bike from a group of Australian university students（who had built it themselves）and set off. On route, he has lots of amusing experiences. He almost dies in a crash and he even attempts to break the land speed record for a motorbike running on biofuel.
You Are Awful（But I Like You）Travels Through Unloved Britain by Tim Moore
Travel writers usually go to the best destinations. But not Tim Moore. In the book, Tim travels to the worst places in the UK.

And to make matters worse, he does it in the middle of winter. “My primary challenge was to have a good time in places that everyone had said I wouldn’t,” said the author. And he does meet lots of quirk y characters and discovers that even Britain’s ugliest parts have an inner beauty.

For 15years I read the books, took the courses and downloaded the apps to try to become a better person. Nevertheless, none of it helped.
I was in my mid-20s when I fell into one of the most toxic relationships of my life. I remember buying my first self- help book, which promised I could be healed of anything. I devoured it in days and was hooked.
Over the next 15years, I bought hundreds of self- help books, courses and apps, and tracked down every self- style d personal improvement expert in the hope that they could teach me how to become happier, more confident and more lovable.
Growing up in an environment of addiction and domestic conflict made me vulnerable to the industry’s promises of self- improvement. I believed self- help authors could be the instructors I had never found. My dependency became strong after my father died in 2022．I managed to spend an enormous amount of time reading about how to grieve well instead of doing the right things: sitting with my feelings, allowing myself to cry and processing the loss.
My obsession（痴迷）with self- help had become toxic, and something had to give. It started to dawn on me that instead of helping me, the advice was making me feel worse.
I talked with a loved one and recognized that in trying to change my life, I was trying to change things that were out of my control. Instead of focusing on who I wanted to become, I had to quit self- help to learn and accept who I really was. Spending time alone, often walking, and listening to my thoughts without trying to silence or change them helped.
Since I quit my self- help cane, I’ve realized that focusing all my energy on improving myself can really suck the joy out of life. It makes happiness conditional: only when I look that way can I be loved. It can also stop me from unconditionally accepting my imperfectly perfect self. After a long time, I am finally coming round to the idea that perhaps I never needed fixing at all.
24．Why did the author become obsessed with self- help materials
A．To escape from her family. B．To overcome personal failures.
C．To look for a way to kill time. D．To find guides to better herself.
25．What can we learn about the author from Para.4
A．She often quarreled with her siblings in childhood.
B．She became stronger after her father passed away.
C．Her upbringing environment greatly influenced her.
D．Her long time of reading helped her out of feeling bad.
26．What caused the author to quit her obsession
A．The death of her father. B．A conversation with a loved one.
C．The suggestion from an instructor. D．An app on self- improvement.
27．What does the author want to convey in the text
A．Embracing the true self. B．Focusing on the strengths.
C．Seeking professional advice. D．Cultivating the positive thinking.
C
The ocean covers almost three- quarters of the planet. Were all the planet’s water placed over the United States, it would form a column of liquid 132km tall. The ocean provides 3bn people with almost a fifth of their protein（making fish a bigger source of the stuff than beef）. Climate and weather systems depend on the temperature patterns of the ocean and its interactions with the atmosphere. If anything ought to be too big to fail, it is the ocean.
Humans have long assumed that the ocean’s size allowed them to put anything they wanted into it and to take anything they wanted out. However, changing temperatures and chemistry, overfishing and pollution have stressed its ecosystems for decades.
The ocean stores more than nine- tenths of the heat trapped on Earth by greenhouse - gas emissions. Consequently, coral reefs are suffering. Scientists expect almost all corals to be gone by2050．By the middle of the century the ocean could contain more plastic than fish by weight. Ground down into tiny pieces, it is eaten by fish and then by people, with uncertain effects on human health. Nevertheless, appetite for fish grows: almost 90% of stocks are fished either at or beyond their sustainable limits. The ocean nurtures humanity. Humanity treats it with contempt.
Such self- destructive behavior demands explanation. Unarguably, the ocean being subject to a series of laws and agreements, enforcement is hard. Apart from this, two reasons stand out. One is geography. The bulk of the ocean is beyond the horizon and below the waterline. The damage being done to its health is visible in a few liminal places. But for the most part, the sea is out of sight and out of mind. It is telling that there is only a single fleeting reference to the ocean in the Paris agreement on climate change.
Second, the ocean is a victim of other bigger processes. The emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere is changing the marine environment along with the rest of the planet. The ocean has warmed by 0.7℃ since the 19th century, damaging corals and encouraging organisms to migrate towards the poles for cooler waters. Greater concentrations of carbon dioxide in the water are making it more acidic, harming creatures such as crabs and oysters, whose calcium carbonate shells suffer as marine chemistry alters.
28．What is paragraph 1 mainly about
A．The vastness of the ocean. B．The significance of the ocean.
C．The ecosystem of the ocean. D．The climate of the ocean.
29．How does the author convey his message in paragraph 3
A．By listing current problems. B．By providing research data.
C．By citing expert opinions. D．By comparing different ecosystems.
30．Why does the author mention “the Paris agreement on climate change” in paragraph 4
A．To show people often disobey it. B．To tell us people seldom refer to it.
C．To remind us the ocean is vital to man. D．To prove ocean protection is overlooked.
31．What will the author probably write next
A．How to tap into the ocean.
B．How to research into the ocean.
C．How to rise to the challenges of the ocean.
D．How to raise people’s environmental awareness.
D
In higher education, where meritocracy（任人唯贤）and objectivity are highly valued, one might assume that the alphabetical order of students’ surnames plays no role in determining their academic success. However, recent research suggests otherwise.
A study conducted by researchers at the University of Michigan, analyzing over 30 million grading records, reveals a surprising finding: students with surnames that appear earlier in the alphabet tend to receive higher grades compared to their counterparts with later alphabetical placements. This bias is particularly striking in large classes or courses where assignments are submitted digitally through platforms like Canvas, a widely used online learning management system. Systems like this typically arrange student submissions alphabetically by default（系统默认）. As a result, students with surnames towards the end of the alphabet, such as those starting with Y or Z, tend to receive lower grades on average compared to their peers with surnames from the beginning of the alphabet.
This phenomenon is attributed to an effect known as “sequential grading bias”, which refers to an unintentional advantage or disadvantage that students may face due to the order in which their work is evaluated. For example, job interview candidates who are interviewed later in the day may be rated more harshly compared to those who went earlier. In the context of alphabetical ordering, instructors often begin grading from the top of the list, where surnames starting with letters like A or B appear. This initial advantage can unintentionally influence grading patterns, where early papers might receive more favorable assessments compared to those evaluated later. However, the exams that are graded in the reverse order in which they are submitted may show an opposite trend.
Educational institutions and policymakers are encouraged to explore alternative grading strategies that mitigate alphabetical biases. Suggestions include randomized grading orders, nameless submissions, or deliberate efforts to counteract first impressions through diverse evaluation criteria. By addressing these biases proactively, institutions can foster fairer and more inclusive learning environments where student performance is evaluated impartially based on merit rather than surname placement.
32．Why does the author mention Canvas in the context of the study
A．To promote the use of digital platforms for academic purposes.
B．To highlight the popularity of online learning management systems.
C．To emphasize the impact of digital learning platforms on grading biases.
D．To demonstrate the diverse grading standards of digital learning platforms.
33．In the last paragraph, what does the underlined word “mitigate” mean
A．Complicate. B．Simplify. C．Fuel. D．Reduce.
34．According to the text, one suggested alternative grading strategy should be based on _______.
A．the student’s surname B．random grading sequence
C．random first impression D．the student’s submission time
35．Which of the following may be the best title for this passage
A．Inequality Issues via Digital Learning Systems
B．Strategies for Overcoming Bias in Grading Systems
C．Unintended Consequences of Alphabetical Grading
D．The Cause of Sequential Grading on Student Performance

Life is filled with numerous victories and downfalls; what matters is how you tackle each situation. Whether it is your schooling or a serious life struggle, we must learn to turn the page and change our life for the better. 36
You might find yourself in a dead end. 37 This will help you mark your future decisions. Everything that you faced until now was just a part of the problem and everything that comes after the line will be part of the solution. Don’t take the whole thing as suffering; instead, it is a learning experience. Make sure that you won’t let anything hold you back and will try to be better each day.
When handling a tough situation, you may need some extra help. Connect with people that have gone through the same trials as you have. During the interactions, you will notice the different patterns which made them successful. 38 Their experiences are beneficial to uplifting your spirit and truly help you out.

Engaging in battles and struggles is going to be very hard. 39 Picture your goals in your mind and make sensible steps towards them with each passing day. Remember to do what actually works and make sure that nothing stands in your way.

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。
Sweat dripped from Callie’s face as she helped her big brother Briggs load ha y bales（干草捆）Onto the conveyor（输送机）. She wasn’t strong enough to lift them herself, but she could at least help drag them into place. The machine chattered noisily while it carried the bales up to the hayloft, where Callie’s dad stacked them.
All was quiet when Callie went inside to feed the horses. But as she filled the water buckets, she thought she heard a faint meow from the hayloft. She climbed the steps to the loft and listened. The sound seemed to be coming from behind the bales. She ran to get her dad and Briggs. Briggs cocked his head. “It’s coming from outside,” he determined. “Just a bird in a tree.” Callie’s dad agreed. “How do you know for sure ” Callie said. “I guess we’ve just got better ears than you,” Briggs joked.
But Callie wasn’t convinced. She checked the hayloft again after supper. “Are you stuck in there, kitty ” she said, pressing an ear to the bales. “Meooow!” Callie raced back to the house. “I heard it again, Dad! Will you please listen once more ” “All right, Cal,” her dad said, turning off the TV. “I’ll go check while you get ready for bed.”A few minutes later, Dad poked his head into Callie’s room. “The only thing I heard out there was a screech owl,” he said. “So stop worrying.” “OK, Dad,” Callie said. “Thanks for checking.”
But she woke in the night thinking about what she’d heard. What if a kitten was trapped behind the bales She lay on her back, wondering what to do. Finally, she grabbed a flashlight and crept into the barn.
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。
Once in the barn, she shined the flashlight’s beam toward the ladder. Finally, Callie picked up the scared kitten from the corner of the hayloft.

One possible version:
Dear Jerry,
I’m writing to share with you an online cross- cultural exhibition exchange activity held last week.
In this activity I chose to showcase Chinese calligraphy as it is an integral part of our culture that dates back thousands of years. Featuring diverse and distinctive styles, Chinese calligraphy, whose tools and materials are well- known “the Four Treasures of the Study”, conveys the writer’s unique characters, rich thoughts and emotions. Not only does it reflect the beauty and elegance of the Chinese language but also embodies the spirit and philosophy of our people.
Participating in this event has broadened my horizons and deepened my understanding of cultural diversity. It has also reminded me of the power of art in bridging gap s between different cultures and fostering mutual understanding and respect.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节（满分25分）
Possible version 1:
Once in the barn, she shined the flashlight’s beam toward the ladder. Her heart pounding, Callie climbed up to the hayloft. She moved carefully between the hay bales, listening intently. Suddenly, she heard a faint meow coming from a far corner. Excited but cautious, Callie inched her way towards the sound, moving ha y bales aside one by one. As she neared the source, the meowing grew louder and more desperate. Finally, behind the last bale, she spotted a tiny black and white kitten, its eyes wide with fear.
Finally, Callie picked up the scared kitten from the corner of the hayloft. She cradled it gently in her arms, the little kitten shivering all over. It snuggled against her, seemingly relieved to be found. Callie carefully made her way down the ladder and rushed back to the house. She woke her father and brother, proudly showing them the kitten and explaining how she had trusted her instincts. Her family was amazed and proud of her persistence. She decided to name the kitten “Lucky” and vowed to care for it until they could find its owner or, if necessary, give it a permanent home on their farm.
Possible version 2:
Once in the barn, she shined the flashlight’s beam toward the ladder. She climbed it, then crawled over the ha y bales to where she’d heard the cry. “Are you in there ” she called. “Meow!” came the answer. Callie aimed the light into a crack between the bales. She saw two little eyes glowing up at her! “I see you!” Callie cried. She flattened herself against the hay and stuck her arm down, stretching it as far as she could. But her arm was too short. “I’m going to get help!” But she didn’t have to go far because her dad was already halfway up the ladder, followed by Briggs. Callie’s dad sprang into action, lifting bales while Callie shined a light for him.
Finally, Callie picked up the scared kitten from the corner of the hayloft. A tabby cat suddenly emerged from the shadows. “That must be the mom!” Callie cried. The cat hesitated but approached them confidently, her eyes fixed on the kitten. She began to purr and lick the kitten’s fur. Then she picked up the kitten by the scruff of its neck and carried it to the opposite end of the loft. Everyone followed quietly and peeked over a pile of lumber, where they found the mother nursing her reunited babies. She looked up and purred, blinking her eyes at Callie. “I think she’s saying thank you,” Callie’s dad said, “for not giving up.” Callie let out a breath and smiled. “I guess I’ve just got better ears than you guys.”

M: That’s good for today. Anything interesting downtown I’m here for the whole week. I can try various restaurants.
W: Yes, there is an excellent French restaurant on Dublin Street near your hotel. If you like spicy food, there are some good Asian restaurants on Lake Street and there’s also a good Italian restaurant just two blocks from here.
M: That’s enough for a week.

W: Hello, this is Barbara. Who’s that
M: Hi, Barbara. This is Wesley. Have you finished reading that book yet
W: No, I’m not even halfway through. I’m busy with my homework for my English class.
M: Okay, but I need it back soon. It’s not mine. It’s my sister’s, actually.
W: All right, I’ll try and finish it as soon as possible. When does she need it back
M: I think she needs it by Thursday, two days from today. Do you think you can finish it by then
W: Hmm. I don’t know. I’m usually a slow reader, and like I said, I have a lot of work to do. Maybe if I read all night, I can finish it. But I don’t want to do that because I won’t be able to focus during the day.
M: I’ll tell you what. I’ll ask my sister if she can let you keep it for a bit longer. I’m sure she’ll say yes. She loves to help people.
W: Thanks, Wesley. You’re really kind.
Text 10（大学健康保险）
M: Most universities and colleges in the United States have a health insurance plan for international students. It generally costs around $300 a year now. You may think it is a waste of money, but if you have even a small medical problem, the insurance will help you to pay the bills. So, you should buy a medical insurance when you arrive at the university. I am sure the International Students Office will help you with that. Private doctors are the standard form of the medical care in America, but there are also college clinics, public and private clinics, etc. The quality of medical care can be different in these different places, so it would be better if you ask an American friend for advice before going to see a doctor. Before you leave China, I suggest you have a medical examination. If there is something wrong, you can have it cured in your own country. Don’t forget to take your personal and family health records abroad with you. They provide important and useful information if you need to go to the hospital. But remember to take good care of yourself. Don’t work too hard.
