By the time L finished the fist chapter, the power was back on. However, I was so fascinated that I kept reading late into the night, completely absorbed. I found myself racing through the pages, unable to put the book down. Before I knew it, I’d read the entire book. I lay there, staring at the ceiling, with the story staying with me and filling me with emotions I hadn’t anticipated. Suddenly, a question came to mind: What would my friends think of this story Inspired by this thought, I decided to recommend it to them.
The next day, I shared the honk with my fiends excitedly. As they dived into the story, I saw their faces lit up. Realizing the excitement that a book could offer, we started a book club to appreciate more stories together. As word of our club spread, a few new friends joined. Our little group grew big, united by a shared passion for reading. The simple act of sharing a book reminded us to establish profound connections with the written word. I was grateful to my mom for introducing me to this wonderful world of books.

【原文】M: I arranged for Wi-Fi to be installed at my home on Thursday.
W: Yes, that’s correct. Everything is booked in, so don’t worry.
M: Sorry, but a problem came up and I won’t be home. I definitely need it set up soon, though. How can you help me
2
【原文】M: I’d love a relaxing weekend. Any ideas
W: I found a cat café downtown where you can have a cup of coffee and read books while playing with cats.
M: Oh wow, that sounds perfect. I’ll definitely check it out.
3
【原文】M: I saw the second Joker movie last night. I had no idea it was a musical. The first one wasn’t.
W: Yes! I liked the characters and story, but it was a bit long and I didn’t think it needed music.
M: I agree.
4
【原文】M: I heard music coming from your street last night.
W: It was the festival! We lit lanterns, ate sweet rice balls, and watched the dragon dance.
M: No wonder you were tired this morning.
5
【原文】M: My alarm clock never wakes me up. Looks like I need to change its battery.
W: Is it set correctly
M: Oops, I set it to PM instead of AM!
6~7
【原文】W: Have you considered using Chat GPT for your degree thesis I’ve heard it is not against the rules, as long as you cite it.
M: Yes, I’ve considered it. It seems helpful since it can cut down on the hours spent searching for accurate sources. I’m cautious about fully trusting information generated by artificial intelligence without double-checking it though.
W: I do see your point. Chat GPT might increase your efficiency, but you should definitely cross-check its results with other sources.
M: Exactly. We need to balance speed with reliability.
W: Plus, we need to make sure our thesis has a human touch.
8~10
【原文】W: I still don’t know what to do — renting with friends sounds fun, but moving in with my cousin feels more stable.
M: Do you want more independence or comfort
W: That’s the problem. I want both, but in different ways.
M: I understand! Being with friends could be more social and relaxed. What about costs
W: My cousin’s flat would be 750 a month. Sharing a house with three friends would be 420 each.
M: Don’t forget you’ll have bills too. Let’s guess that bills will be about 140 each in the house share. How much is that altogether
W: Gosh, I can’t work it out! I think the flat is cheaper... But the house is in a nicer area.
M: You just need to figure out where you’d feel happiest and what you can afford.
W: I know. I don’t want to regret it either way.
11~13
【原文】M: Excuse me, I think this might be yours.
W: What is it
M: A bank card. I saw you get off the tube, and it was right under the seat you were sitting in.
W: Oh, that’s definitely mine! I didn’t even realize it was missing.
M: You were sitting by the window, right I noticed the name as the train doors were closing, so I jumped off to catch you.
W: I must have dropped it when I took my travel card out.
M: You have to be more careful.
W: Yeah. Honestly, thank you. I’ve been so busy this morning, rushing between meetings. I wouldn’t have noticed until lunchtime.
M: No worries. I’ve lost things on a bus before. It was really a horrible feeling.
W: You’ve saved me a lot of trouble. Let me treat you to a coffee
M: That’s kind, but I have to hurry for a connection. Just happy I caught you.
W: Well, thank you. Really.
14~17
【原文】M: Hi, Layla. Do you remember me
W: Hi. James. Of course I do! It’s great to see you. You haven’t changed much!
M: It must be nearly five years since we last met.
W: Yes. I left school in Year 10, remember
M: Yes. You had to be in hospital for quite a while, didn’t you
W: Yes. I was in hospital in Grimsby for one year. My parents thought the medical care there was better. Since then, I’ve been taking online classes.
M: Is studying online better than being at school
W: In some ways, yes. I can work at my own pace. and it’s much quieter. My grades haven’t suffered! But I miss seeing people every day.
M: That makes sense. I’m doing my A-levels now at the college in town.
W: Oh, great. Do you still hang out with anyone from our old class
M: A few of them. You should come to our meet-up next month.
W: I’d love to. Message me the details!
M: Will do. It’s really nice to see you again.
W: You too!
18~20
【原文】 M: If you’d told me a year ago that I’d be jumping out of a plane, I’d have laughed. I hated heights. It’s not the kind of thing I enjoy doing with friends! But something changed after my grandad passed away from Alzheimer’s. I wanted to do something meaningful that could help others affected by the same disease. So, I signed up for a charity skydive. I’d never even done a bake sale before!
We watched a safety video and we jumped from 4,000 meters. The free fall lasted for one minute, and we dropped at 200 kilometers per hour. I worked out that meant I fell roughly 3,300 meters before the parachute (降落伞) opened.
It was peaceful. You’d expect panic, but instead I felt calm. Everything looked so small, and yet I felt part of something huge,
The great part We raised 8,452 — the highest amount anyone in our area has ever raised for Alzheimer’s. But even better than the total was hearing people talk about their experience with this illness. So many had been through the same as my grandad.
I still don’t love heights, so I’ve not overcome that fear. But I’ve learned that sometimes, doing something scary opens doors — and hearts.河南省信阳高级中学北湖校区

Wang Sibo, the first person in Chinese light painting art, is good at creating light paintings in a Chinese style. Using light as ink and night as canvas (画布), he adds ancient cultural elements into modern art to create amazing works.
For creators of light paintings, it does not require highly advanced painting skills. However, it is easier said than done. Wang Sibo once stated, “Light painting requires a strong sense of space and memory, as each stroke (笔画) of the brush is moving very fast and does not leave any mark. Therefore, one can only rely on their feelings and memories to paint in the air.”
Since Wang Sibo began his journey in light painting, he has continuously improved his skills. He has a special fondness for Chinese dragons. To perfectly present the form and charm of dragons, Wang Sibo and his team devoted countless hours and efforts. After two years of hard work, they finally presented a surprising masterpiece.
On a night in 2018, Wang Sibo and his team made history near Wangfujing Street, creating “Dragon Dance in China” — a 670-square-meter light painting that set the Guinness World Record for the “largest light painting pattern”. However, this was just the beginning. In 2021, they once again broke the world record for the largest light painting with “The Elegy of Light,” a 2021-square-meter masterpiece. Not stopping there, Wang Sibo made a new breakthrough in 2023 with “Awakening Lion,” completed by 328 people, earning the first-ever record for “the most people meanwhile creating a light painting.” In this way, Wang Sibo, with his Chinese-style light painting, has stood at the top of the world many times.
For Wang Sibo, light painting is not only an art form, but also a means of expressing his inner self and releasing his emotions. He will continue to use light as a tool to illuminate (照亮) the path of traditional culture and convey its value and significance to the audience.
24．What is unique about Wang Sibo’s light painting
A．He only paints during the daytime.
B．He needs special brushes and paints.
C．He uses digital technology to create art.
D．He combines traditional Chinese culture with modern art.
25．What can be inferred from Wang Sibo’s words
A．Light painting is quite challenging.
B．Canvases of light paintings are in the air.
C．Light painting can only be done by masters of painting.
D．Creators of light painting should have strong emotions.
26．What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A．The significance of Wang Sibo’s light paintings.
B．The unique charm of Wang Sibo’s light paintings.
C．Wang Sibo’s remarkable achievements in light painting.
D．The efforts Wang Sibo has made to set the Guinness World Record.
27．In which column of a magazine is this text most likely to appear
A．Pioneer. B．Fashion. C．Culture. D．Lifestyle.
C
People remember Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon. However, not many will claim to know the second person on the moon, Edwin“Buzz” Aldrin, who joined Armstrong a mere 19 minutes later. People usually remember what is new. For pioneers, the act of pioneering can bring fame, influence and transformative impact, but the disadvantages can be rejection, hatred, and exploitation (利用).
The first-movers often have the advantage. Consider Steve Jobs, who took the world by storm with his invention of the handheld personal computer devices, iPad and iPhone. Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph pioneered video streaming, turning Netflix into a global giant with200 million subscribers. The stories of these pioneers abound with success and significance that the world will remember for a while. Being the first to try something is advantageous, and certainly holds water.
Yet the pioneer’s path is loaded with challenges. People are creatures of habit: they are not easily persuaded to accept something novel. James Dyson faced countless rejections when inventing the bagless vacuum (吸尘器); even after success, other makers like Shark quickly offered cheaper and improved versions. The disadvantage is clear: pioneers bear the burden of overcoming initial obstacles, only for latecomers to profit easily.
Similarly, those who are the first to challenge a societal or cultural standard may face strong disagreement and hatred from those who prefer status quo(现状). Malala Yousafzai was attacked for advocating girls’ education in Pakistan, and Mahatma Gandhi was imprisoned for leading India’s independence movement. While their courage is celebrated, such pioneers often face objection or violence. The status quo’s pull discourages many from taking the first step, even when the cause is just.
The poet Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Do not go where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail (痕迹)”, To be sure, pioneering something can be fulfilling and rewarding but not many will have the courage to handle the odds that come with starting a new path.
28．The second person on the moon is unknown because of .
A．his indifference to reputation.
C．his contribution during the landing.
B．people’s preference for novelty.
D．people’s interest in moon landing.
29．Why does the author mention Steve Jobs, Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph
A．To show the importance of being courageous.
B．To prove being the first can be advantageous.
C．To introduce their world-famous inventions.
D．To explain the process of their achievements.
30．What does the example of James Dyson imply
A．It is quite difficult to invent new products.
B．Bagless vacuums are still very popular now.
C．Makers are not easy to cooperate with at all.
D．Pioneers may face rejections and competition.
31．What writing technique does the author mainly use
A．Comparison. B．Classification.
C．Definition. D．Persuasion.
D
One trained California sea lion named Ronan can keep a beat better than some people, according to a new study published in the journal Scientific Reports. Ronan, a 15-year-old sea lion considered non-releasable after malnutrition, joined UC Santa Cruz’s Pinniped Lab in 2010.
To put Ronan’s beat keeping to the test, the team designed an experiment to assess Ronan’s consistency and coordination (协调) in moving in time to the beat of a drum. They beat a drum at 112,120, and 128 beats per minute(bpm). They then presented these same sounds to 10undergraduate students between 18 and 23 years old and asked them to wave their hands in time to the drum beat. The team used video tracking software to monitor how precise the undergraduate’s timekeeping was.
Overall, Ronan’s timekeeping was more accurate and less variable than the human test subjects. Ronan’s accuracy also increased with the tempo (节奏). At the tempo of 128 bpm, her average tempo was 129 bpm. The human subject’s average was only 116.2 bpm. After completing the test, Ronan was rewarded with a toy filled with fish and ice.
Since this study only tested timekeeping with one trained sea lion and 10 humans, larger studies are needed to see if these results can be found.
There is no shortage of great musicians among humans, who demonstrate high musical talent through their highly influential works. While humans may corner the market of writing songs, rhythm itself is more widespread across the animal kingdom. “Humans are animals. The more we look, the more we find that human capabilities exist in other species,” says Peter Cook, a study co-author. “To understand the human mind, how humans think and act, we need to examine the foundation of our behavior and cognition (认知). Studying other species provides a window into just that.”
32．Why did the researchers beat the drum with varied beats
A．To test Ronan’s tempo accuracy.
B．To train Ronan to follow the beats.
C．To measure Ronan’s speed of learning beats.
D．To demonstrate drum skills to human subjects.
33．What can we learn about Ronan from the study results
A．Her performance improved with rewards. B．She followed the beat better.
C．Her consistency declined without practice. D．She could adjust her average tempo.
34．What does the underlined phrase “corner the market” in the last paragraph probably mean
A．Need capabilities. B．Discover new ways.
C．Establish dominance. D．Grasp marketing skills.
35．What can be the best title for the text
A．Sea Lion Ronan: A Beat-keeping Winner
B．Sea Lion Ronan: A Window to Animal Behavior
C．Sea Lion Ronan Succeeds in a Drum Competition
D．Sea Lion Ronan Equals Humans in Sensing Beats

A Clean, Green Energy Future
The world’s energy demand is rising annually as countries develop and populations grow. So far, this growth has mainly relied on the use of fossil fuels (coal, oil, gas). 36 Thankfully, many countries are making the important change from fossil fuels to clean, green and renewable sources of energy.
Fossil fuels emit carbon dioxide, contributing to the greenhouse effect. They’re non-renewable, with limited supplies. Renewable energy, in contrast, can be naturally replaced and therefore be consumed without the risk of using them up. 37
Solar
Solar panels convert sunlight to electricity. It’s the fastest-growing renewable source, as the cost of the technology is falling. Some countries have successfully adopted this technology. Germany has the highest solar capacity in the world but China is the largest market and producer of solar technology.
Hydro-power
38 Countries such as Paraguay and Norway already produce all or most of their energy from hydro-power. Most of the renewable energy in China comes from hydro-power plants, such as the Three Gorges Dam, the world’s largest power station.
Wind
Wind turbines are turned by the wind to produce electricity. Wind farms are on land or off shore to take advantage of more frequent and powerful winds. China may meet electricity needs from wind by 2030. Wind farms in Gansu province have an endless wind supply.
Biofuel
This is material made from biological sources (such as corn or grain) or waste products that is used to produce energy. It’s used in generators for electricity, or in cars and other machines. Brazil has produced and used biofuel made from sugar cane for 40 years. China is the world’s third-largest producer of biofuel.
So what are the pros and cons of renewable energy 39 However, it can face issues like lack of power when wind or sun is absent, high setup costs for solar, and land use for biofuel.
Can renewables really be the future of energy Despite the modern world’s dependence on fossil fuels, renewable energy use is increasing. Given the problems of climate change, there is no doubt that they will continue to grow. As extracting fossil fuels is becoming more difficult and expensive, the cost of renewable energy is falling. New battery technology, for example, solves the problem of bringing electricity from distant sources to cities. 40
A．It’s clean, abundant, and low-maintenance.
B．This is why governments invest in wind energy research.
C．The power of water turns turbines (涡轮机) to generate electricity.
D．However, this reliance has led to pollution problems and climate change.
E．For example, Iceland generates nearly 100% of its electricity from renewables.
F．Here are the main types of renewable energy, with facts and examples from around the world.
G．With our awareness of energy consumption and waste, a clean, green energy future is achievable.

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。
This past summer, my mom came home with an armful of books and a very serious look on her face. She said it was time I started reading “real books”, and I immediately complained. I’d been through this talk before: the one where she told me that I’d “thank her later” for making me a reader, and that books would make me “smarter” and give me “imagination”. I already had my phone, and group chats with friends. What did I need books for
Sill, when I saw the titles, I paused (停顿). These weren’t the classics she normally tried to push on me. These were books with bright covers, funny titles, and characters who looked like they could be real people. “Just give it a try,” Mom said, “You might even like them.”
Hesitantly, I picked up Out of My Mind by Sharon Draper. But reading seemed like such a boring, task compared to the instant entertainment on my phone. I thought about my friends chatting in our group and the endless videos within easy reach. Books felt old-fashioned and slow, and demanded too much focus. Besides, what was the point of reading about made-up people when I had real friends and real stories all around me With a sigh, I threw the book onto my desk, half-expecting it to sit there, untouched, all summer.
Then, one night, there was a power failure. Unfortunately, my phone was dead, my laptop wasn’t charged, and there was nothing to do but lie there in bed, waiting for the power to come back on. When I looked around, I noticed the book Out of My Mind, siting there in the dark. With nothing better to do, I grabbed it, and opened the first page with a flashlight. I wasn’t expecting to read more than a paragraph. But after a few pages, I was actually curious.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
By the time I finished the first chapter, the power was back on.
