The rejection letter from the city's music school weighed heavily in Elsa's pocket. At 19, her dream of becoming a concert pianist seemed broken. “Your style lacks classical discipline," the letter read. That evening, she wandered to the family's old barn, where moonlight streamed through cracked boards onto a dusty piano. Her fingers found Chopin's Raindrop Prelude, each note reflecting her loneliness. Tears blurred the keys as she played--for the dreams buried under endless wheat fields.
The harvest festival brought unexpected change. Village children discovered Elsa's piano, their curious fingers brushing the yellowed keys. “ Make it sound like thunder!" a boy shouted. Hesitant at first, Elsa began mixing storm rhythms with insect sounds. Farmers paused their dancing, recognizing familiar sounds in the music. Grandma Marta sang an ancient folk tune, its melody weaving through Elsa's chords. That night, she lay awake, realizing classical purity mattered less than heartfelt connection. It was a moment when she understood the true power of music was to touch people's hearts in a way that resonated with their daily lives.
Months of experimentation brought results. Elsa's video Songs from the Soil showed her rough hands dancing across the weathered piano, accompanied by field recordings. Urban music critics dismissed it as "agricultural noise", but messages poured in. " You've given voice to our silent land," wrote a farmer's daughter. One teacher shared how Elsa's music helped students appreciate rural life. It was as if Elsa had found a new language through her music, a language that could bridge the gap between the rural and the outside world.
The invitation to perform at the National Cultural Summit surprised her. Beneath crystal chandeliers(吊灯), Elsa's modified piano used wheat seeds to make beats, creating rhythms that copied rain hitting dry soil. As the final sound ended, the cultural minister approached, "this isn't just music -it's the soul of our countryside. " Now teaching village children, Elsa smiles knowing true artistry grows where roots run deep.
24. What did Elsa realize during the harvest festival
A. Classical music requires strict training.
B. Music should connect with people's lives
C. Children dislike ancient instruments.
D. Pianos need regular maintenance.
25. What is the urban music critics’ opinion on Elsa's work
A. They were open to new musical styles.
B. They were eager to promote rural music.
C. They failed to understand its deeper meaning.
D. They had a great appreciation for folk elements.
26. What is the main idea of the text
A. The importance of classical music training.
B. The role of music in agricultural development.
C. The conflict between urban and rural music styles.
D. The story of a pianist who found her unique artistic way
27. Which best describes Elsa's emotional change
A. Shame →Pride.
B. Confusion →Certainty
C. Desperation →Satisfaction.
D. Anger → Acceptance.
C
When Alexander Fleming returned to his lab in 1928, he found a bacteria culture he had grown was infected by fungus(霉菌), killing any colonies it touched. Rather than simply starting over, Fleming switched his focus to the fungus. He identified the bacteria-killing substance, which he called “penicillin,” and seemingly in a single stroke, created the new field of antibiotics (抗生素).
That’s how most people see innovation: A flash of brilliance and Eureka, a new world is born. The truth, however, is messier. It wasn’t until 1943 that penicillin came into widespread use.
To put Fleming’s discovery in context, consider Ignaz Semmelweis, who pioneered hand washing in maternity wards(产房), significantly reducing childbed fever but receiving scorn instead of fame. That was because in the 1850s, his ideas conflicted with the popular miasma theory, which attributed disease to “bad airs. ” After his death in 1865, germ theory was accepted, paving the way for Fleming’s later work.
Fleming was a gifted biologist but a poor communicator. When he published his results in 1929, few took notice. In 1935, Howard Florey and Ernst Chain discovered Fleming’s paper, understood its importance, and developed methods to produce penicillin in quantity. By 1943, with World War II raging, the War Production Board enlisted 21 companies to mass-produce penicillin, saving countless lives and ushering in the new age of antibiotics. Fleming, Florey and Chain received the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1945.
Penicillin owes much of its success to government support. For many other groundbreaking innovations like the Internet and GPS, their innovators, while carving their own path, are often uncertain of where the opportunity lies until they team up with other visionaries and corporations, who might have the resources to fast-track their ideas. So, look at any significant innovation and the myth of the lone genius and the “eureka moment” breaks down.
What are the first two paragraphs mainly about
A. An account of a lab story.
B. Redefinition of a traditional view.
C. Correction of a popular misconception.
D. An analysis of a scientific phenomenon
29. What is the message conveyed in paragraph 3
A. Great minds think alike.
B. The early bird catches the worm.
C. Luck’s got your back when it comes to success.
D. Early work is a stepping stone to later breakthroughs.
30. What does the underlined part “ushering in” in the paragraph 4 mean
A. Delaying. B. Introducing. C. Predicting. D. Transforming.
31. Which of the following can be the best title
A. Great Innovations: Individuals Are True Heroes
B. From Failure to Success: The Story of Penicillin
C. The Lone Genius: Fleming’s Discovery of Penicillin
D. The Long Road to Penicillin: How Innovation Happens
D
Plastic and cheap clothes are not a glorious legacy(遗产). But a scientist exploring which items from our technological civilisation are most likely to survive for many millions of years as fossils has reached an ironic and instructive conclusion: Plastic and fast fashion will be our everlasting geological signature.
“Plastic will definitely be a signature ‘technofossil’, because it is incredibly durable, we are making massive amounts of it, and it gets around the entire globe,” says Sarah Gabbott, a University of Leicester expert on fossils. “So wherever those future civilisations dig, they are going to find plastic. ”
Clothes will also make an abrupt entry into humanity’s fossil record. Today, the world’s growing population often wears mass-produced synthetic(合成的) clothing that are rapidly dumped and they are not as easily rotted as cotton and silk.
“We are making them in ridiculous amounts,” says Gabbott. “We stick them into landfills, which are like giant mummification tombs. It is already clear that much of modern fashion will end up being truly timeless. ”
Fossils are not just objects left behind, but also the traces of life’s activity written into the rocks. Human activities, such as oil drilling and nuclear tests, will leave lasting scars. Humankind has also created many near-indestructible chemicals, such as dioxins and DDT. Given that similar molecules produced by bacteria have been found in rocks that are 1, 600 m years old in Western Australia, these chemicals appear to be here to stay. “And there is the graphite(石墨) used in pencils,” says Gabbott. “It is endearing to think that it may be the drawings of children that may survive best of all: a pencil portrait, perhaps, of a family outside a house, with the sun shining and a rainbow arcing across the sky,” she says jokingly.
“The big message here is that the amount of stuff we are now making is eye-watering - its off the scale,” says Gabbott. All of the stuff made by humans by 1950 was a small part of all the matter on Earth. But today it outweighs all plants and animals. “This raises serious questions for us all,” she says, “Do you need that Do you really need to buy more ”
32. What does the author think of the legacy mentioned in paragraph 1
A. Troubling.
B. Short-lived.
C. Technologically weak.
D. Environmentally harmless.
33. What can be categorized as technofossil
A. Dinosaur bones.
B. Cotton clothing.
C. Nuclear waste.
D. Solid landfills.
34. Why is “children’s drawings” mentioned in paragraph 5
A. To highlight human creativity.
B. To celebrate modern technology.
C. To stress that warmth of life is here to stay.
D. To indicate that chemicals could be fossilized.
35. What is Cabbott’s primary concern
A. Biodiversity loss.
B. Geological record accuracy.
C. Technological progress.
D. Overproduction of material goods.

We humans are comparison creatures. 36 This quality may have evolved as a means of helping us fit into the social hierarchy (等级) of the cultures we inhabited. Regardless of the reasons, social comparison plays a significant role in how we view and evaluate ourselves, and how we interact with our world.
It used to be that our primary reference of comparison was our local communities, primarily neighbors and co-workers. Because we tend to gather around those similar to ourselves in terms of educational level, work income, and shared interests, the range of differences when we compared ourselves to others was fairly small. Unfortunately, with the emergence of the Internet, we can now compare ourselves to literally anyone in the world. 37 What had in previous generations been a small gap in our comparisons has now become so large and unattainable.
38 When so many people that are easily discoverable on the Internet seem to be so successful. famous, influential and beautiful, given our preference to compare, it is difficult not to have it influence how we view ourselves. Sadly, these comparisons usually result in our feeling inadequate and “less than”.
These harmful comparisons also damage our emotional lives. When we feel lacking, we experience a variety of unpleasant and unhealthy emotions. We feel jealousy and envy for what others have and what we lack. 39
It’s one thing to realize that you compare yourself to others. It’s another thing to recognize that social comparison is often corrosive (逐步侵蚀的) to you in so many ways psychologically and emotionally. It’s an entirely other thing to stop yourself from comparing yourself to others. 40
A. We are constantly measuring ourselves against other people.
B. Yet it is possible, and it is worth the effort for your mental health.
C. Thus, we are now exposed to groups that are quite different from us.
D. We believe that there is something wrong with us compared to others.
E. We can even feel bitterness and anger at others for the unfairness of it all.
F. Comparing ourselves to others has the potential to increase our life experience.
G. This new level of comparison has huge implications for our psychological lives.

The Silent Signal
In a quiet little town in England, there lived an elderly man named Harold. Uneducated and widowed (鳏夫), Harold's heart was heavy with loneliness. His children Emily, a doctor in London, and Thomas, a lawyer in Manchester, had moved to the busy cities, leaving him in the family home with only his old mobile phone for company. The phone was a lifeline to his children, and he treasured every ring.
One day, Harold decided to visit a local mobile phone repair shop TechSolutions，with a sense of urgency. His phone, an outdated one, had been silent for weeks. No calls , no messages , -just a terrible , that seemed to mirror his life.
Harold entered the shop, with his pace slow and tired. He approached the counter and handed his phone to the young repairman, a cheerful man named Liam. “There's something wrong with it," Harold insisted, his voice trembling slightly. “It's not ringing and I'm sure my children, Emily and Thomas, want to speak to me. "
Liam, with a warm smile, took the phone and began to inspect it. Harold watched and held his breath as Liam pressed buttons and shook his head, saying technical terms under his breath. After a few minutes, Liam looked up and announced, “Everything seems to be in order, M r. Harold. Your phone is functioning perfectly. " The news did not bring relief to Harold's wrinkled forehead. If anything, his worry lines deepened. “But if it's working, why haven't I received any calls " he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.
Liam, sensing the depth of Harold's despair, decided to dig deeper. To his surprise, he discovered that Harold's phone was indeed receiving calls, but the ringer was turned off, and the phone was set to silent mode. Liam showed Harold how to adjust the settings, ensuring the ringer was on and the volume was up.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为 150左右;

写作一 ：
范文一：
Once upon a time, in a forest in China, there was a hare who was very fast and very proud of his speed. He would boast to the other animals about how he could outrun anyone. One day, he challenged a tortoise to a race and laughed at the slow-moving creature. The tortoise accepted the challenge, and the two agreed on a route and a finish line. On the day of the race, the hare raced ahead, confident in his ability to win. But soon he grew tired and decided to take a nap under a tree. Meanwhile, the tortoise continued on steadily and eventually crossed the finish line, winning the race.
The moral of this story is that slow and steady wins the race. It reminds us that it is important to remain focused and determined, and not to let overconfidence lead to failure. It also teaches us to not underestimate others based on their appearance or perceived abilities, as they may surprise us with their strengths and perseverance. This tale has been passed down through generations in China, and its message still rings true today.
范文二：
"Pulling Up Seedlings to Help Them Grow" is a story about a farmer who planted rice and was impatient for it to grow. One day, he noticed that some of the seedlings were growing slower than others. In his eagerness, he decided to pull up the slower seedlings, thinking that it would help the others grow faster. However, to his surprise, all the seedlings withered and died.
This fable illustrates the importance of patience and allowing things to develop naturally. The farmer's impatience led to the destruction of his entire crop. The story teaches us that rushing and interfering with a process can result in negative consequences.
范文三： "Drawing Legs on a Snake" is a story about a man who saw a snake slithering across the ground. He thought to himself that a snake with legs would be more impressive, so he took a brush and painted legs on the snake. However, the snake was not happy with the extra legs and found it more difficult to move. In the end, the snake had to face the consequences of the man's unnecessary interference.
This fable teaches us the importance of not tampering with something that is already perfect as it is. The man's attempt to improve the snake by adding legs only created problems and made the snake less capable. It reminds us that sometimes, our interventions can do more harm than good.
写作二：
He also checked Harold's voicemail, finding several unheard messages. The moment he heard his children's voices which were filled with concern and love, Harold's face lit up with a mixture of surprise and emotion. The despair was replaced by warmth and happiness. Each message was like a ray of sunshine. breaking through the clouds of his loneliness. Harold's eyes welled with tears as he realized how much he had missed due to a simple phone setting. He expressed gratitude to Liam for helping him uncover these treasures of love. A kind smile spreading across Liam's face, he resolved to take further steps to assist Harold.
Liam asked Harold for his children's numbers and made a few calls. He informed them of what had happened and encouraged them to call their father more often. After hearing that their father was fine, Emily and Thomas, who had been worried for weeks, breathed a sigh of relief, showed their appreciation for Liam and promised to call and visit their father regularly. Knowing that everything was going well with his children, Harold felt a wave of warmth crowding into his heart. Later, Harold's outdated phone was changed into an elder people mobile whose loud ringing sound never failed to get his notice. Harold's experience reminds us all that no matter how busy we are, we should never forget to give a simple and regular phone call or visit to our parents, which means everything to them.

W: That was terrible.
M: Yes. I immediately realized something was wrong. So I jumped into the moving car through the open window and stepped on the brake of the car.
W: So did you take the man to the hospital
M: No. It turned out that two police officers were following the vehicle, but they failed to notice that medical help was needed. It was they that took the man to hospital for treatment.
W: No wonder you were late. Well, you’ve done something great. You’re really a hero. But now let’s order our food.
M: So you haven’t ordered yet
W: No. I don’t know what you love eating.

M: In the spring of 2021, 12 sailing teams from around the world competed in the first-ever Ocean Race Europe. The race set off from Lorient, France, on May 29, 2021. Teams of 6 to 10 people spent 22 days sailing the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea to the finish line, in Genoa, Italy. That’s where the race ended, on June 19, 2021. Two classes of speedy sailboats raced in the event: the IMOCA and the VO65. Offshore Team Germany won the IMOCA class race. And Portugal’s Mirpuri Foundation Racing Team won the VO65 class. The Ocean Race Europe presented plenty of challenges. Teams were on their boats for three straight weeks. When you were on board, all you do was race, eat, and sleep. There was no Internet connection and there were no movies. There wasn’t even a fridge or a freezer inside the boat. The Ocean Race Europe has a larger purpose. During the race, the boats collected scientific data from the salty waters. The data is shared with scientists. It provides insight about how the ocean is affected by climate change. Scientists use the data to further understand and advocate the world’s changing environment and seas.
C篇
第28题 C 文章开头先呈现了人们普遍认为创新是灵光乍现的观点，接着以青霉素的发现为例进行阐述。在介绍青霉素发现过程中，指出其并非是简单的天才瞬间发现，而是经历了诸多环节，这是对人们常见的关于创新的误解进行纠正。
第29题 D 第三段讲述了 Ignaz Semmelweis 在产房倡导洗手，虽当时未获认可，但他的理论为后来 Fleming 的工作奠定了基础，“After his death in 1865, germ theory was accepted, paving the way for Fleming's later work”，这表明早期的工作成果为后续的重大突破创造了条件，起到了铺垫作用。
第30题 B 原句 “By 1943, with World War II raging, the War Production Board enlisted 21 companies to mass - produce penicillin, ushering in a new era of medicine”，结合上下文可知，大规模生产青霉素这一行为开启了医学的新时代，“ushering in” 在这里意思是引入、开启新的时代，所以选 B。
第31题 D 文章主要围绕青霉素的发现、发展历程展开，深入探讨了创新是如何发生的，并非强调个人的英雄主义。A 选项强调个人是英雄，不符合文章主旨；B 选项只突出了从失败到成功，没有体现创新的过程；C 选项强调孤独的天才，也与文章不符。D 选项 “The Long Road to Penicillin: How Innovation Happens” 准确概括了文章内容。
D篇
第32题 A 第一段提到 “Plastic and cheap clothes are not a glorious legacy”，说明作者认为塑料和廉价衣服作为遗产并非好事。后文又指出这些物品会成为化石，带来一系列问题，如 “This raises serious questions for sustainability”，所以作者对其的看法是令人担忧的。
第33题 C 文中提到 “Human activities, such as oil drilling and nuclear tests, will leave lasting scars. Humankind has also created many near - indestructible chemicals, such as dioxins and DDT”，核废料是核试验产生的，属于人类活动产生的难以分解、会长期留存的物质，符合 “technofossis”（技术化石）的特征。
第34题 D 文中提到 “Given that similar molecules produced by bacteria have been found in rocks that are 1,600m years old in Western Australia, these chemicals appear to be here to stay. 'And there is the graphite used in pencils,' says Gabbot”，先说明了一些化学物质能长期留存，然后提到铅笔中的石墨，接着说孩子的画，目的就是表明像铅笔中的石墨这种化学物质可以形成化石。
第35题 D 文中 “The big message here is that the amount of'stuff' we're making is incredibly important. . . This raises serious questions for sustainability. 'Do you need that Do you really need to buy more '”，Gabbot 强调了人类制造的物质数量过多，并对可持续性提出质疑，还反问是否真的需要这么多东西，这表明他主要关注的是物质产品的过度生产问题。
本篇通过个人经历揭示了兴趣爱好如何从快乐源泉变成压力来源的过程，并最终提出要接受不完美、享受过程的观点。难度中规中矩。
完形填空
第41题 D 选项"wrapped up"需要结合前文"hours later"这个时间状语来理解。作者用几个小时完成了人生第一个短篇故事，"wrap up"这个短语本身就带有"圆满完成"的意味，特别适合用来描述创作过程的完结。相比之下，"showed off"带有炫耀意味，与初次创作的私密性不符；"pulled over"多用于车辆停靠；"cut off"表示突然中断，都与创作完成的语境不符。这个选择为后文奠定了基调：一个自然而然的创作开端。
第42题 C 前文提到"hours later"完成故事，说明写作速度很快，"quickly"最符合文意。其他选项"slowly"（缓慢）、"openly"（公开）、"carefully"（仔细）与作者想要表达的快速完成创作的语境不符。
第43题 D "excitement"准确捕捉了初尝创作时的那种纯粹喜悦。孩子们对新事物天然的好奇和热情，正是最珍贵的创作原动力。"hope"显得太过目标导向；"surprise"只强调意外性；"curiosity"则偏重求知欲。唯有"excitement"能完整呈现那种发现创作乐趣时的雀跃心情，与后文热情消退形成鲜明对比。
第44题 D 与前文的"self-doubt"（自我怀疑）相呼应，从创作出口变成了压力来源，"stress"（压力）最准确。其他选项"relief"（解脱）、"truth"（真相）、"inspiration"（灵感）与作者想传递的负面情绪不符。
第45题 A 这里需要一个描述这种变化的词，"shift"（转变）最符合从乐趣到压力的转变过程。其他选项"accident"（事故）、"blessing"（祝福）、"adjustment"（调整）都不如"转变"准确。
第46题 B 前文说爱好最初是轻松的，因此"escape"（逃避/放松方式）最符合作为休闲活动的本质。其他选项"growth"（成长）、"focus"（焦点）、"commitment"（承诺）与放松，轻松的语境不符。
第47题 C 社会压力往往是要"excel"（擅长/出类拔萃），与后文的高标准期望一致。其他选项"live"（生活）、"struggle"（挣扎）、"contribute"（贡献）不如"擅长"贴切。
第48题 B 列举绘画、演奏乐器等都属于"pursuits"（追求/活动）。其他选项"ideas"（想法）、"distraction"（分心）、"ambition"（野心）与文章中的具体爱好不符。
第49题 C 尽管有自我怀疑，仍然坚持写作，"in spite of"（尽管）最准确。其他选项"by means of"（通过）、"with respect to"（关于）、"in search of"（寻找）不符合让步关系。
第50题 A 追求完美需要很强的"drive"（驱动力）。其他选项"doubt"（怀疑）、"supply"（供应）、"imagination"（想象）与本段内追求完美的语境不符。
第51题 B 从"passion"（热情）变成琐事，形成强烈对比。其他选项"story"（故事）、"challenge"（挑战）、"possibility"（可能性）不如"热情"准确。
第52题 A 这种心态"robs"（剥夺）了曾经的快乐，与后文呼应。其他选项"reminds"（提醒）、"warns"（警告）、"informs"（通知）与'文章中的'负面影响''不符。
第53题 B 认识到"okay"（没关系）不擅长某事，与后文的"接受不完美"一致。其他选项"sad"（悲伤）、"intolerable"（无法忍受）、"awesome"（很棒）不符合接受缺点的语境。
第54题 C 完美往往是"subjective"（主观的），与个人标准相关。其他选项"random"（随机）、"temporary"（暂时）、"magical"（神奇）与文章中完美主义的特点不符。
第55题 D "expectation"与"enjoyment"的平衡是全文的解题钥匙。不是要放弃追求（"overwork"），也不是盲目乐观（"enthusiasm"），更不是否定快乐（"joy"），而是在自我期待与现实享受间找到平衡点。这个选择完美总结了全文的主旨思想。
语法填空：
本篇介绍了18世纪名著《红楼梦》里，食物是关键元素，如名菜茄鲞制作复杂。如今它启发厨师，网红重现菜品，主题餐厅有“红楼宴”。书中食物多应季，体现文化观念。其因多层含义受欢迎，读之收获丰富。
第64题 as 读者不仅仅将它作为一个引人入胜的故事来欣赏，作为用as.
第65题 the 这句话的翻译是当我们读到书中关于食物的描写时，我们可以欣赏烹饪艺术，从文字中挖掘历史线索，还能在每一“口”中探寻其双重含义。mine表示挖掘，mine the text表示挖掘文本，表面考察the, 实际上考察mine表示挖掘的熟词僻义。
