Hello! My name is Harry Menzies. I ordered a pool table online from your shop last Tuesday and it arrived only three days later. I was amazed and very happy at the speed of service, although the outer packing was a little damaged. Then, unfortunately, the problems started.
I had to put together the pool table and this was quite difficult. The first major complaint I have is that the instruction booklet included was written only in Spanish and Polish. I don’t think this is very helpful for me. I can’t believe you wouldn’t include the instructions in English. Anyway, I managed to follow the diagrams and get the pool table put together in about two hours.
Once I had put it together, I noticed the white ball wasn’t there. How am I supposed to be able to play any games without the white ball It’s obvious that the table was faulty.
The roll of the balls was not very true — they kept curving to the left or the right so I think there’s a problem with the table. So I don’t want to spend $800 for a pool table that can’t be used!
My customer number is 45993. The order number was GH12388. You can get in touch with me on my home phone number: 348-28841. Please get in touch with me as soon as possible to let me know how we can resolve these problems.
I really hope to hear from you as soon as possible.

读后续写
I was so absorbed in the book. It became darker and darker and I couldn’t see the lines in the book clearly any longer. I finally realized that I was the only one left in the library. I checked the time and it was past the library closing time. I wondered why the librarians didn’t remind me. I hurried to the exit, only to find that I was locked inside the library. I began to feel worried and even a little frightened. (76 words)
I tried every effort to find other exits to leave the library, but in vain. I picked up my phone to see if I could turn it on. No way. It didn’t work at all. At first, I became very worried, but after some time I got calm. I finally came to realize that I had to stay in the library for the night. So I found a place with a light, and picked up that novel again. The next morning, I got out with such a fun experience! (75 words) [151 words]邵东创新高级中学2025届毕业班第4次月考

The night before the first day of school is usually an exciting and sleepless one for me. This virtual school year, however, didn't give me that same feeling. In my mind, I couldn't communicate with my classmates, and I couldn't have conversations with my favorite teachers. So I went to bed, filled with more curiosity and uncertainty than anything else.
I woke up the next day at 9 a. m., as my first class that day didn't start until 10 a.m. I sat at my desk waiting for my first online class of the day: AP Statistics. The class could only be described as two things: awkward and a bit boring. Awkward because of the lasting silence that often fell over us, as most of the students, myself included, refused to discuss their summers, and boring because I had to look at a screen instead of truly communicating with my teacher.
I would have preferred sitting in a classroom wearing my picked first-day clothes, but, I didn't say anything. I knew it was much safer for us to learn from home.
Once the class ended, my one-hour lunch block began. My virtual lunch was at 11:20 a.m.
My next two classes flew by. They had the same awkwardness and boredom, with different levels of enjoyability based on the subject and teacher.
At the end of the day, I felt strange, and like I hadn't done anything at all or even actually gone to school. I never felt like I hadn't done anything with myself that day before. I didn't even feel like a student on a “pursuit of knowledge.” I just felt like I was watching something on my computer screen.
It wasn't my favorite thing in the world, but, it's the new normal, and I and my classmates will have to get used to it.
24. How did the writer feel the night before the first day of school
A. He was too excited to fall asleep.
B. He couldn't wait to meet his classmates.
C. He was unsure about what would happen.
D. He was looking forward to online learning.
25. Why did the writer feel bored in AP Statistics class
A. He couldn't have real communication with the teacher.
B. He couldn't understand what the teacher said.
C. He felt the unhappiness of his classmates.
D. He thought the class was valueless.
26. What can we say about the writer at the end of the day
A. He had got used to the new school life. B. He preferred to have a class online.
C. He hated to do much homework. D. He felt empty in his heart.
27. How is the text mainly developed
A. By giving examples. B. By giving instructions.
C. By following time order. D. By providing research results.

Eden Gross wants kids to know that they're not alone when they feel afraid. “I get fearful sometimes,” said the Florida fourth-grader, who has often been drawn to dark stories. At age 8, Eden started writing songs to deal with her fears. Last month, she released her first song, “Shadows on the Wall.” It's for kids everywhere who have problems with mental health. The point of the song is that the fears “aren't reality,” said Eden, now 10. “I am bigger than these fears.”
Eden began writing “Shadows on the Wall” in 2019 after attending the Throga Retreat, a youth singing program about two hours from her home in Parkland. There, she met Johnny Cummings, a New York-based singer, songwriter, and producer. After the program, the pair worked together each week through Skype. They finished “Shadows on the Wall” and a second song, “The Last Kid on Earth,” which centers on the idea that although each person is different, we all feel alone sometimes.
Eden wants more grown-ups to understand the influence of COVID-19 on children. “They're used to running around, playing with their friends. Getting used to new realities was really hard,” Eden said.
Eden and her twin brother, Jordan, recently marked one year of distance learning. It was unusual at first. They weren't getting used to it and missed their days in school. “The Internet has become our whole world,” said Eden. “Technology has become our new way of connecting.”
One lesson from COVID-19, said Eden, is to “find a way to do what you love and be who you are, no matter the environment.” For Eden, that means spending time with the family's pet, Ollie, and continuing to follow her dream of music and writing. She's busy with her third song, “The Voices.” “It's about judging yourself in your head when you say, ‘I'm not good enough,’” she said. “And then realizing, ‘I am good enough. I am good enough for me.’ ”
28. Why did Eden Gross start to write songs at age 8
A. To tell people how to deal with their fears. B. To give herself the courage to deal with fears.
C. To call on grown-ups to care about kids. D. To ask kids to face reality bravely.
29. What encouraged Eden Gross to write “Shadows on the Wall”
A. The experience of attending a program. B. Her sadness about being alone.
C. Her dream of being a singer. D. The spread of COVID-19.
30. How did Eden Gross feel about distance learning at first
A. It was satisfying. B. It was strange. C. It was boring. D. It was useful.
31. What is Eden Gross's next plan
A. Finishing her third song. B. Staying with her family.
C. Going to music school. D. Keeping a pet.

Some people will say that you can place a value on anything. We may know the price of milk. Do you think it is possible to put a price on the Earth or other planets
You probably think this is impossible. Scientist Greg Laughlin thought differently. In March 2009, NASA sent the Kepler telescope into space to explore the Milky Way galaxy. As there are billions of stars within the Milky Way, it could mean there were several thousand planets to discover. How could scientists decide which ones to study further and which ones to take no notice of
Professor Laughlin used information received from the Kepler telescope to create a formula (公式) that puts a price on planets. The age and size of each planet, its temperature, and the energy it created were considered. Older planets were given a higher value. The most important consideration was whether or not it may be possible for life to live on the planet.
By using his formula, Professor Laughlin found that planet Earth was the most important. He gave it a value of five quadrillion (千的五次幂) dollars. Mars was given a value of US$16,500 and Venus (金星) was valued at zero. That is because it's impossible to support life on Venus because it is too close to the Sun. The professor said that any planet that had a value of more than US$100 million was worth studying further.
By November 2018, about 1,200 planets in total had been looked at. Most of them were worthless because of their unsatisfactory conditions. So should you run to the bank and borrow US$16,500 so you can buy Mars Maybe not today. You should just enjoy the five quadrillion dollar planet you already live on — and learn how to look after it.
32. What purpose does the first paragraph serve
A. To describe the prices of different things. B. To bring up the topic of values of planets.
C. To introduce a scientific question. D. To show a research result.
33. What part of Laughlin's formula carries the most value
A. A planet's temperature. B. A planet's age and size.
C. The amount of energy a planet creates. D. The possibility for life to live on a planet.
34. What does the underlined word “That” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. Venus was valueless. B. Venus is too close to the Sun.
C. Mars was much cheaper than Earth. D. A planet was usually valued at over US$100 million.
35. What does the writer expect people to do in the last paragraph
A. To study space science. B. To protect and love Earth.
C. To save money to travel in space. D. To support scientific organizations.
E
Even if you live a green lifestyle at home, it's possible to ignore the impact your travels could have on the environment. 36 Here are some steps you can take to reduce the possible harm that comes from traveling around the world.
Choose your means of transportation. If you can reach a destination by train, consider taking one. 37 Avoiding flying completely is often not a choice for travelers, but the idea is to reduce unnecessary flights when possible. Use local public transport where possible and travel on foot or by bike to explore smaller areas.
Find eco-friendly accommodation. 38 If you are going to the mountains or into the countryside, look for an eco-friendly place to stay. Even during city travel you can find environmentally friendly hotels.
Know your environment. Remember every country has challenges to deal with. For some it is plastic bags, for others the amount of energy used on air conditioning or heating. 39 Use water wisely for example when you are in dry countries.
40 Don't forget your good habits just because you are on holiday. Clean up after yourself and don't litter. Remember to bring a couple of food containers to pack a lunch and avoid any unnecessary packaging.
A. Eat locally grown foods.
B. Get your home holiday-ready.
C. Be as green as you are at home.
D. Make sure you know them and act responsibly.
E. But the influences traveling has on the environment are great.
F. Where you choose to sleep at night plays a key role in being a green traveler.
G. It's a great way to see a destination and has a less environmental impact than flying.

I have been a student here for the last three years now. I really 41 it here, the teachers, the students, and everything. However, leaving my old school and changing to a new one wasn't so 42 for me.
I had never changed schools before; I was quite happy where I was and 43 with everyone, but my mom thought it was time for a 44 . My mom wanted me to better my skills which were something I wasn't 45 . I've always loved social sciences, but until sixth grade, 46 I hadn't written one great essay. My mom was right.

The first time I ever wandered into my college library was when I was in Fresher’s Week. That afternoon, I didn’t have a tight schedule and I decided to go walking around the campus. I went to different places until I saw a door with a sign “library” on it. I pushed the door open, and what welcomed me were rows of tall shelves, with lots of books on them. It was as if each book on the shelves had its own unique smell and each book was trying to tell its story. I walked up to the first shelf and picked up the first book that caught my attention.
Luckily, a book exhibition was taking place there. The author of one of my favourite books was giving a lecture. Her book inspired me a lot, so I was very happy to see her. While I recorded her lecture with my phone, I had so many questions coming into my mind to ask her.
After that, I came across a new friend at the exhibition. We discussed what we thought about the exhibition and we had a lot in common to share. He talked about how novels expand one’s horizons, and how they draw people into another world. “A good writer makes a reader who has never been to Europe or any other continent experience that continent without stepping foot onto it.” What he said really impressed me.
At the very moment, one of his friends was looking for him. I wanted to add him as my friend, only to find my phone had run out of power. So we had to swap phone numbers. After saying goodbye, I remained in the library, picking up a novel to read.
I was so absorbed in the book.
I tried every effort to find other exits to leave the library, but in vain.
