After quitting social media last winter, I now feel a strong urge to create a perfect post about my great vacation. If you don't share a trip, did it even happen Though I felt more present offline, I still imagine that ideal carousel (动态); a blurry selfie with my husband,posed kids' photo, and overhead shot of local food.
I know that craving the high of posting may not be cool, but I desperately miss sharing travel photos. In them, I am the person I want to be: carefree and adventurous. Sharing makes it so, somehow.
However, one person's vacation photos are another person's existential crisis. Following a friend's voyage twisted my mind —— forgetting my seasickness, homesickness, and empty wallet. This isn't new. Years ago, stunning Bali blogs tricked me into my first overseas trip—reality never matched those glowing screens. Later, I met my husband in Barcelona. I didn't take a single photo that night, wanting to be unbothered, but mostly because I was having too much fun. My brightest moments Often lens-free.
Now, as a parent, I try to be in the moment, but my eyes drift to other parents twisting themselves for the perfect shot. I worry I'm missing some parental duty, so I pick up my phone and open the camera app. On our recent vacation to London, I decided to take photos,wrestling with portrait mode and begging the children to smile.
My effort was rewarded with 187 photos. Each night, I卷ed through them and marveled at the best of my son and daughter. Armed with these images, I tried making a private album on my phone and uploading to a family digital frame. Yet nothing felt the same as sharing on the socials.
Then it came to me I could use a physical photo album instead. I laid out the book online, and it arrived a few days ago. It is something I can hold in my hands, something to hold on to. I'm putting it on my coffee table, where my friends are sure to see it.
24. Why does the author badly want to share travel photos on social media
A. To present an idealized self.
B. To become the envy of other people.
C. To establish connections with viewers.
D. To record her interactions with friends.
25. What is implied in Paragraph 3
A. Photos record precious moments.
B. Technology ruins real experiences.
C. Genuine joy in life exists off screen.
D. Travel博ggers always cheat viewers.
26. What made the author take photos of her children in London
A. Advanced equipment and skills. B. Social pressure and anxiety.
C. Request of the kids. D. Strong family ties.

On the way to vacation, you' re jazzed and distracted:“Did I pack enough clothes ”“Did we turn off the heater ” The travel day goes by in a rush. Going home is another story.The same three-hour journey seems to drag on between layovers (中途停留), traffic and rest-stop food. How can one way feel so different from the other
Yonason Goldson, an author and ethicist, explains that when we travel to a new place,we tend to be in a more positive mindset. “There's the expectation that something more exciting, interesting, new and fun is waiting for us,” he says. “That makes the trip part of the experience. By contrast, the trip home feels anticlimactic.”
Another explanation is the oncoming weight of the post-vacation blues. As the saying goes, “Time flies when you' re having fun.” Perhaps time crawls when you' re depressed.
However, the return trip doesn't always feel longer. In fact, some people find the way to the destination even more exhausting. Psychiatrist Gary Small relates it to the“return trip effect,” which argues that the first leg of a trip (outward journey) can feel longer because we tend to underestimate how long it will take. We may guess the way there will go by quicker than it does, leading to a“violation of expectation.” By the return trip, as we' ve gotten to know the route, it feels less challenging. However, this effect usually occurs when we' re traveling somewhere for the first time. If we travel a familiar route, the return trip may instead feel longer.
Small recommends introducing some novelty into the trip home to help pass the time. This can include doing puzzles, engaging in conversations or taking different routes to challenge your mind. In addition, you can change how you travel altogether. Susan Sherren, founder of a travel agency, encourages clients to plan trips with a“bell curve” itinerary (行程): easing into the vacation, building up to the exciting, action-packed days, then slowing down before it's over. In this way, you' re not left feeling exhausted. You can also plan enjoyable activities to look forward to when you get home to soften a crash landing back into your normal routine.
28. What does the underlined word“anticlimactic” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Exciting and rewarding. B. Disappointing and less dramatic.
C. Fast and enjoyable. D. Dangerous and challenging.
29. What can be learned from Paragraph 4
A. Route familiarity makes the outward journey seemingly shorter.
B. The return journey from a first-time destination feels shorter.
C. The outward journey appears shorter due to predictable time.
D. Violation of expectation results in a longer return journey.
30. Susan Sherren's“bell curve” itinerary helps clients to
A. extend the vacation without extra costs
B. have chances for thrilling experiences
C. readjust to the rhythms of daily life
D. return home on schedule
31. Which is the best title for the passage
A. Does Travel Feel Longer on the Way Home
B. How Can We Improve Travel Experience
C. What Causes Exhaustion in Return Trip
D. Does the Return Trip Lack Novelty
D
Dozens of retired coal-fired power plants could find new life providing backup or emergency power for the electricity grid(电网) —— except this time without the need for fossil fuels. They could instead rely on heat energy stored in dirt.
The concept involves creating a huge dirt pile near a coal plant and placing industrial heaters inside. During the grid's low-demand periods, these machines would change cheap electricity into heat, which would remain stored within the dirt at a temperature of about600℃. During times of high power demand, the heat could be transferred out of the dirt via pipes of heated liquid. The coal plant's turbine blades (涡轮叶片) and connected generator eould then turn that heat into backup energy.
Energy storage like this is necessary to supplement renewable power sources, such as wind and solar, which cannot provide energy continuously. And dirt is cheaper, more abundant and more widely available than other types of long-term energy storage, such as lithium batteries or hydrogen fuel. The really exciting part is specifically the low energy capacity cost, because it's so much cheaper than other energy technologies.
However, this approach could have other costs. “Reducing piping and electrical costs are essential in such systems and may be a challenge,” says Andrew Maxson at the Electric PowerResearch Institute, a non-profit research organization headquartered in California.
Most dirt includes naturally heat-resistant materials, such as silicon dioxide and aluminum oride, says Austin Vernon at Standard Thermal in Oklahoma. His start-up is looking to commercialize this“heat battery” technology for repowering retired coal power plants,especially at sites with nearby solar or wind power sources.
In the US, such retired coal facilities are abundant —— nearly 300 coal-fired plants retired between 2010 and 2019 alone, and an additional 50 gigawatts of coal plani capacity is expected to reach the typical retirement age of 50 years by 2030.
Christian Fong at the Rocky Mountain Institute, a research organization based inColorado, is optimistie about the idea of giving retired coal plants a new purpose. “This provides a way for local communities to partieipate in the clean energy transition by providing jobs and additional tax revenue to help displace the retirement of the coal plant,” he says.
32. What's the function of“pipes of heated liquid”
A. To carry coal gas to the turbine.
B. To cool the dirt to avoid overheating.
C. To pump water into the soil to produce steam.
D. To transfer the stored heat from dirt to make electricity.
33. How does Andrew Maxson feel about the“heat battery” system
A. Cautious. B. Supportive. C. Opposed. D. Dismissive.
34. What is the passage mainly about
A. The deeline of US coal-fired power plants.
B. Environmental impact of retired coal plants.
C. A method to store renewable energy using dirt.
D. Economie benefits of renewable energy storage:
35. What do we know from the passage
A. Dirt stores heat better than metals.
B. The heat system works non-stop like coal.
C. Retired coal plants will turn into heat batteries by 2030.
D. Repurposed coal plants can bring in economic benefits.

Research has shown that a preference for sweet foods is associated with trait agreeableness. The association can be seen in terms sometimes 56 (use) to describe kind and nice people as well as people we love in some cultures (“sweet”, “sweetie”, or“honey”).
These links can 57 (explain) based on the conceptual metaphor theory and the center of 58 is that metaphors map abstract concepts onto more concrete fields to aid understanding. In the theory, metaphoric mappings are cognitive association, often learned through experience or a process of embodiment (具象化), 59 eventually allows people to think about or represent abstract concepts in terms that are more readily perceptible,such as taste.
A new journal article published this week, 60 which I am a co-author, aimed to examine 61 the association between sweet taste preferences and agreeableness occurs across cultures. To address this question, the study 62 (survey) 1,650participants of different cultural backgrounds.
The study found that agreeableness was 63 (significant) and positively connected with the two different measures of sweet taste preferences in all pared with ones without a sweet tooth, people who like sweet foods are 64 (likely) to“sympathize with others’ feelings”, “take time out for others”, “have a soft heart”, and so on. Therefore, the study's 65 (result) suggest that people across cultures use sweet taste experiences to understand or conceptualize niceness in line with theory framework.

The Forgotten Melody
Eliot stood in front of the old piano, his fingers hanging in the air. He didn't know why he'd come. The piano in his grandmother's sunroom hadn't made a sound in years. It was the fifth summer after Granny died. The house felt empty without her. He remembered her baking cookies, reading, and telling stories about her home in Sicily, but never playing music.
His fingers lingered on the keys gently and then unlocked the piano bench. He found more than dust. There was an old piece of paper, with notes written on it. At the top, in wobbly writing, it said“For my Eliot”. Out of curiosity, he pressed the keys. Though just a small part of the piece, there was something familiar about it —— like a song he'd heard in a dream. He tried again. This time, a short, soft tune came out. It made him feel warm, like a hug. He played it so smoothly as if he had done it countless times.
“Eliot ” He turned. Mrs. Rossi, her grandmother's friend, was standing in the door.“You' re back!”“Mrs. Rossi! Yeh! For my solo concert!” Her eyes got big when she saw the paper. “That song… you got it! She and your grandfather wrote it for you, when you were a baby. They played it together every night when you slept. Your grandma used to play all the time.” Eliot frowned. “Why did she stop ”
注意：
(1)续写词数应为150左右；
(2)请按照如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Mrs. Rossi sighed and looked sad, her gaze drifting to the paper like she was seeing the past.
Eliot's fingers brushed the worn paper as if touching his grandmother's hand.
