（选必一 U1 Relationships & 选必三 U7 Careers）
Tiana Barron, founder of Jaxx Fontaine D’eau, a high-quality spring water brand for dogs, regards her bond with animals as her source of healing. Her rescued dog from Hurricane Katrina inspired the business, which she imagined for five years before launching in Orange County. “I’ve given my dog bottled water for years, even before it was common for humans,” she explains. However, her decision to formalize (使规范化) this practice into a business originated from a deeper purpose: “I wanted to honor the unconditional love animals give us. They fill emotional gaps that humans sometimes can’t.”
Scientific studies highlight dogs’ ability to improve mental health—reducing loneliness, stress, and depression. Tiana’s experience aligns with these findings. Her dog helped her address personal struggles, offering companionship even her children couldn’t match. “Animals have pure souls; they’re irreplaceable,” she says. For Tiana, this connection goes beyond practicality—it’s emotional and spiritual.
Launching Jaxx Fontaine D’eau faced considerable barriers: relocating, home redecoration, and financial risks. Yet Tiana carried on it, driven by perseverance and sympathy. “I’m a fighter. I’ve had a tough life, but I always get up and fight again. Everything happens in your journey when it’s supposed to, not when you want,” she asserts. Her journey reflects that she ranks animal welfare over profit. “This isn’t just a business—it’s a tribute to the love dogs deserve,” she adds.
Tiana’s story is not just about business success; it’s about living in grace and trying hard to create a better world. She hopes that her story will inspire others to respect one another, regardless of their differences. “I’m so sensitive to people and emotions, and it upsets me to see division. I don’t care how you choose to live your life, but be nice to each other. We’re not here to judge and be mean,” she emphasizes.
24. What drove Tiana Barron to launch Jaxx Fontaine D’eau
A. Her appreciation for animals’ love. B. Her belief in dogs’ healing power.
C. Her ambition of making a fortune. D. Her devotion to pet product business.
25. What do the underlined words “aligns with” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Mixes with. B. Relates to. C. Conflicts with. D. Corresponds to.
26. Which of the following best describes Tiana
A. Determined and caring. B. Considerate and brave.
C. Ambitious and creative. D. Aggressive and sensitive.
27. Which is the best title for the text
A. Tiana’s Journey: From Struggle to Success
B. More than Water: A Spiritual Tie with Dogs
C. Luxury Water for Dogs: A Business Innovation
D. Healing through Loss: A Dog’s Unconditional Love
C （选必四U12 Innovation）
A coating 100 times thinner in thickness than a human hair could be “ink-jetted” onto your backpack, cellphone or car roof to capture the sun’s energy, new research from Oxford University’s physics department shows, in a development that could reduce the world’s need for solar farms that take up massive areas of land.
This micro-thin, light-absorbing material is flexible enough to apply to the surface of almost any building or object, with the potential to generate up to nearly twice the amount of energy of current solar panels. The technology comes at a critical time for the solar power boom as human-caused climate change is rapidly warming the planet, forcing the world to accelerate its transition to clean energy.
Here is how it works: The solar coating is made of materials called perovskites (钙钛矿), which are more efficient at absorbing the sun’s energy than the silicon(硅)-based panels widely used today. That’s because its light-absorbing layers can get a wider range of light from the sun’s spectrum (光谱) than traditional panels. And more light means more energy.
“This is important because it promises more solar power without the need for silicon-based panels or specially-built solar farms,” Junke Wang, one of the Oxford scientists said. “We can fancy perovskite coatings being applied to broader types of surface to generate cheap solar power, such as the roof of cars and buildings and even the backs of mobile phones.” At just over one micrometer thick, the coating is 150 times thinner than a silicon wafer used in today’s solar panels. And unlike existing silicon panels, the perovskites can be applied to almost any surface, including plastics and paper, using tools like an inkjet printer.
A persistent problem with perovskites, however, is stability, which has prevented its developers from commercializing the technology. Some coatings in lab settings have dissolved or broken down over short periods of time, so are regarded as less durable than today’s solar panels.
What can we learn from paragraph 1
A. The coating looks like human hair. B. The solar farm covers much space.
C. The car roof is used to get electricity. D. The cellphone can absorb solar energy.
29. Why is clean energy transition urgent according to the text
A. Climate change is speeding up global warming.
B. Solar farms are becoming too expensive to build.
C. Perovskite coatings are more efficient than silicon panels.
D. The world needs to produce twice as much energy as before.
30. What makes perovskite better than silicon
A. It can be made more colorful. B. It can be made a lot cheaper.
C. It absorbs more solar energy. D. It has a wider range of layers.
31. What can be inferred about perovskite panels
A. They are already popular in daily life. B. Their efficiency is lower than expected.
C. They face barriers to wide application. D. Their production cost is extremely high.
D
（必一U1 Life Choices & 选必一U2 Success）
In a time when human achievements hit record levels, young people increasingly struggle with growing deep anxiety. The World Happiness Report 2023 shows a worrying pattern: while technology and material comforts improve, teenagers’ self-reported happiness has dropped for eight straight years. This reveals society’s basic misjudgment of what brings fulfillment.
Ancient Greek thinkers knew something modern education often ignores: real satisfaction comes from inner harmony, not outside approval. Socrates’ well-known advice to “know yourself” feels more urgent today. The story of billionaire John Doe proves this: after gaining wealth and fame, he admits in his memoir Empty Mansions, “I spent years climbing ladders to find they were placed against the wrong walls.”
Modern science backs this ancient idea. Dr. Eleanor Richards’ long-term study at Cambridge followed 1,200 successful people for 25 years. Those who focused on internal drives (curiosity, skill-building) had 37% higher life satisfaction than those seeking external rewards (social status, money). The gap lay not in what they achieved, but how they viewed their goals.
This imbalance harms both body and mind. Across cultures, time-tested traditions teach us about sustainable living. Chinese literati like Tao Yuanming in the 5th century chose rural simplicity, finding contentment (满足) through harmony with nature — a philosophy echoed in Thoreau’s Walden Pond experiment. Such wisdom reminds us that purpose-driven living, rather than endless striving, sustains true well-being.
The answer isn’t to avoid ambition, but to rethink success. When Chinese diver Quan Hongchan balanced Olympic training with school life, she showed how athletic excellence and personal growth can coexist. Like gymnast Simone Biles’ brave choice, these athletes remind us that true worth includes both professional achievement and well-being.
As graduation nears, students face key decisions: follow society’s success rules, or build what thinker Alain de Botton calls “true ambition” This choice shapes both careers and life quality. True success, as Seneca said, is “matching daily actions to core values.” Ultimately, the deepest achievements start within ourselves.
32. What causes the decline in teenagers’ happiness
A. Absence of successful role models. B. Lack of access to advanced technology.
C. Insufficient focus on achievements. D. Overemphasis on external recognition.
33. What leads to higher life satisfaction in Richards’ study
A. Focus on personal growth. B. Ability to get wealth and status.
C. Insistence on traditional practices. D. Rejection of modern expectations.
34. What can we learn from paragraph 4
A. Material wealth blocks true contentment.
B. Isolation from society ensures inner peace.
C. Purpose-driven simplicity guarantees happiness.
D. Harmony with nature improves physical strength.
35. How does the author support the argument
A. By sharing anecdotes and listing statistics.
B. By comparing views and providing contrasts.
C. By criticizing technology and promoting values.
D. By presenting examples and drawing a conclusion.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Rice is not just a food—it’s the heartbeat of cultures, a unifying thread that has connected together the histories, traditions, and daily lives of countless communities across the globe. For billions of people, rice is more than a staple (主食). 36 The idea that rice is culture means a lot to many communities for whom rice is not just a meal but a memory, a story passed down through generations.
Yet, today, this vital crop faces never-seen-before threats from climate change. Extreme weather events and shifting agricultural landscapes are making it increasingly difficult to cultivate rice in the traditional ways. Experts predict that global rice production will shrink by 15% by 2050, even as demand increases. 37
Rice is a critical source of food for billions of people, but the impact of climate change on the crop goes beyond its nutritional value. Warmer temperatures and extreme weather threaten to erase the cultural stories rooted in each grain. 38 What stories will we lose when the next generation can no longer cook the dishes their ancestors did
We cannot afford to lose rice—or the rich cultures it sustain. We should focus on how to innovate to protect it. For example, we could cut methane (甲烷) emissions by checking the spread of flooding or adding fish, ducks, or crawfish into the production system. 39 We can also preserve the cultural heritage tied to this vital grain. The challenge, however, extends beyond just protecting a crop. It’s about innovating to meet the demands of a rapidly changing climate.
40 A life without rice is a life without culture. Let’s make sure by working together worldwide that’s a future we never have to face.
It’s a symbol of identity, heritage, and survival.
The thought of a life without enough food is unthinkable.
Decreased production signals a troubling trend for the future.
What will happen to our cultural identity when the rice fields dry up
In this tough fight against climate change, we all have a role to play.
What measures should we take to increase the rice production worldwide
By adopting the methods, we can build an adaptable future for rice cultivation.

The next Sunday, Mr. Thompson hung a sign: Free Music Hour. Tracy returned, trumpet in hand, 53 by a guitarist from the bakery. Even Mrs. Lowell, who’d 54 spoken since her husband’s death, brought a 55 . Soon, the shop overflowed with joyful laughter.

In the fifth grade, my deskmate was Linda, a shy but clever girl. Being too shy to raise her hand even when she knew the answer, she didn’t participate in class actively. But I did admire her. I tried to draw her attention in a rude and stupid way, hoping she’d finally talk to me.
One day, I hid her pencil case somewhere in the classroom. When the bell rang, announcing the end of the day, she began to gather her things. Soon, she found her pencil box was gone. She opened her desk drawer: it was not there. She reached into her schoolbag but found nothing. Then she stole a glance at me. I grinned (咧嘴笑) at her, hoping she would enquire of me and then I would get the pencil case out, and then we would talk and laugh happily together. To my surprise, she just lowered her eyes, grabbed her schoolbag, and left without a word.
I kept playing these small but annoying jokes on Linda, thinking Linda would, one day, notice how funny a girl I was, without realizing that she was extremely uneasy.
I escalated (升级) my daily “annoyance” to something bigger on a sunny afternoon, when I happened to get some itching powder (痒痒粉).
I tried it on myself. Feeling a sharp, burning pain, I couldn’t help screaming, which aroused a big laugh from people who didn’t know what was happening. Then it suddenly struck me: Why not share it with Linda She would know how “interesting” it was. Of course, I would do it in a “joking” way.
So, after the math class, during the break, I slipped behind her and threw a handful of itching powder down her back. Linda jumped up and screamed loudly. So loud and frightened was she that even I myself realized, for the first time, that I did something terribly wrong.
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。

Our class recently hosted a debate on whether AI benefits high school students’ learning more than it harms, which proved highly thought-provoking.
The proposition team argued AI enhances learning efficiency by making abundant resources more accessible and highlighted its potential to assist teachers and foster innovation. The opposition team, however, raised concerns about over-reliance on AI, which could weaken critical thinking. They also discussed issues like data privacy and the risk of widening educational inequalities.
The debate served as a timely reminder that AI is a double-edged sword. It is clear that integrating it into education requires careful management to maximize benefits and minimize risks.
书面表达第二节【84+86=170词】
I was called to the teacher’s office. So nervous was I that I dragged my feet, my heart pounding wildly. The teacher stared at me sharply, her eyes filled with disappointment. “Your behavior is unacceptable,”she saidina serious voice. “You’ve been bullying Linda, and this has to stop.”Recalling my actions, I hung my head in shame, a wave of guilt crashing overme. After a long lecture, I returned to the classroom. It was the moment I saw Linda’s tear-stained face that I resolved to seek her forgiveness.
Linda did forgive me later.That afternoon, I tiptoed to her seat, clutching a handmade apology card. As I approached, Linda’s eyes widened in astonishment. “I’m sorry,” I stammered, my voice trembling. To my relief, a delicate smile lit up her face like a diamond. She reached out, and we hugged tightly, warmth filling our hearts. From then on, we became close friends, sharing happiness and supporting each other to grow into better versions of ourselves. It occurred to me that kindness, not hurtful jokes, is the foundation of true friendship.

W: Do you enjoy watching comedies Then why not come and see what’s happening at Comedy Hour
Comedy Hour owns comedy clubs in several countries that are run just for people aged 13–20. They’re just as familiar with working in adult comedy clubs as they are working with children.
The Comedy Hour company was set up by John Winterson. In fact, his act quickly became so popular that he soon found lots of other comedians who wanted to join his company.
If you’re having a party at home, Comedy Hour can come and perform for you there at the party. Your very own comedian will also help you to tell your guests some jokes and silly stories and they can join in, too, if they want. It’ll be fun and very different from any party you’ve ever had before.
Here at Comedy Hour, it’s not just about the adults telling jokes. We also offer young people the chance to perform. But we’ve yet to find someone who can do that without preparation, so we’ve set up the world’s first Comedy Classes to teach young people how to tell jokes on stage. At the moment our classes are only monthly, but we’re planning to start a number of others over the coming year.
So what are you waiting for Come and join Comedy Hour.
