When Liang Wei first joined the Beijing Symphony Orchestra in 1998 as a backup violinist, no one anticipated the quiet revolution he would bring. The conservatory graduate, often overlooked for his plain appearance and soft- spoken manner, spent years studying every musician's part. While others competed for solo opportunities and public recognition, Liang devoted himself to understanding the orchestra as a complete organism. Night after night, long after rehearsals ended, he could be found in the dimly lit practice room, diligently studying each instrumental part and experimenting with different conducting techniques using only a pencil as his baton.
The turning point of Liang's career came unexpectedly during the orchestra's2003 European tour. Minutes before a scheduled performance of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony in Vienna's distinguished Konzerthaus, the principal conductor fell ill with severe vertigo (眩晕) . As panic spread backstage, Liang calmly stepped forward. What followed was nothing short of mysterious - his economical, almost thoughtful gestures drew from the orchestra a performance of such depth and clarity that many in the audience wept openly. The normally reserved Viennese critics credited it as “a revelation of Beethoven's true intention,” and the twenty- minute standing applause broke the hall's records. Yet when journalists rushed to interview this unknown substitute, Liang had already slipped away, later insisting the credit belonged entirely to the musicians.
In the years that followed, he established the “Listening First” initiative, traveling to remote provinces to teach underprivileged students his philosophy that “the most important music happens in the silence between notes.” Liang transformed an abandoned Beijing textile factory into a perfect training center, where he developed innovative techniques emphasizing collective unity over individual mastery.
Now nearing retirement, Liang remains a mystery in classical music circles. His former students, many now leading orchestras worldwide, continue to pass on his simple idea: sometimes the quietest voices create the most enduring echoes.
24. What does the underlined word “baton” mean
A. A ruler to measure distance. B. A stick to strike people.
C. A pencil to write something. D. A tool to instruct people.
25. Why did the audience react to Liang's performance that way
A. They were applauding out of politeness. B. They preferred traditional performances.
C. They acknowledged his artful expression. D. They were disappointed by the substitute.
26. What did Liang Wei do to practise his thought in Paragraph 3
A. Train in the real environment. B. Reject traditional music schools.
C. commit himself to silent notes. D. Transform deserted things into use.
27. Which of the following words can best describe Liang Wei
A. Silent and positive. B. Confident and humble.
C. Patient and generous. D. Tolerant and humorous.
C
Some girls tend to feel frustrated if they have a pear-shaped body, with hips (臀部) that are wider than the breast and shoulders. While pear-shaped people's waists are typically smaller, they may have more fat on their hips and legs. So, many pear-shaped girls try to hide their hips and legs under large dresses and pants.
However, a recent study suggested that pear-shaped people are the ones who won the genetic lottery (彩票) !
A study published in September by the US National Library of Medicine found that the waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) shows the strongest and most consistent association with death rate. Traditionally, the body mass index (BMI) has been considered the best indicator of health. However, this study challenges this belief. It surveyed nearly 40, 000 people and found that, regardless of BMI, WHR is positively linked with all- cause death rate. The larger the WHR, the higher the all-cause death rate will be. Instead of focusing on how much fat a person has, scientists suggest people should focus more on how fat is distributed in a person's body.
WHR, as its name suggests, compares your waist measurement to your hip measurement. A larger waistline means more central fat, which could indicate more visceral (内脏的) fat, also known as poisonous fat. Harvard Medical School states that more visceral fat increases the risk of illnesses including diabetes, heart diseases and asthma. That's why people with a pear-shaped body tend to be healthier than others. According to the World Health Organization, a healthy WHR is less than 0. 85 for women and less than 0. 9 for men.
It is impossible to target waist fat when people try to lose weight. But losing overall fat will make the waist smaller. Researchers from Johns Hopkins University suggested we eat less carbohydrates and more food higher in fiber and protein. Moreover, doing strength training helps build more muscle, which makes you burn more calories even when you're resting.
28. What upsets some pear-shaped girls most in paragraph 1
A. Extra fat in the lower body. B. Their typically larger waist size.
C. Inability to meet ideal standards. D. Failure to wear fashionable clothes.
29. Which factor is closely related to higher death rate in the recent study
A. Body mass index. B. Waist-to-hip ratio.
C. Overall body weight. D. Shoulder to-hip ratio.
30. What can we infer about pear- shaped women from the passage
A. They should avoid strength training to prevent muscle growth.
B. They are supposed to have a higher WHR compared with men.
C. They are more likely to develop diabetes than apple- shaped people.
D. Their body type may protect them from developing certain diseases.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. BMI and WHR Comparison B. Mysteries of Genetic Lottery
C. Health Benefits of Pear Shape D. Strategies for Waist Reduction
D
In a new study, led by the University of Oxford's Department of Physics and published in Nature, an international group of authors who developed the science behind net zero demonstrate that relying on natural carbon sinks (自然碳汇) to offset (抵消) ongoing CO2 emissions from fossil fuel use will not actually stop global warming.
Natural carbon sinks play a vital role in relieving the impact of current emissions and drawing down atmospheric CO2 concentrations after the date of net zero, stabilizing global temperatures. Yet governments and corporations are increasingly turning to them to offset emissions, rather than reducing fossil fuel use. Emissions accounting rules encourage this by creating an apparent equality between fossil fuel emissions and draw- down of CO2 by some natural carbon sinks, meaning a country could appear to have achieved net zero while still contributing to ongoing warming.
The authors call on governments and corporations to clarify how much they are counting on natural carbon sinks to meet their climate goals, as well as recognizing the need for Geological Net Zero.
Geological Net Zero means balancing flows of carbon into and out of the solid Earth, with one tonne of CO2 committed to geological storage for every tonne still generated by any continued fossil fuel use. Given the cost and challenges of permanent geological CO2 storage, achieving Geological Net Zero will require a significant reduction in fossil fuel use.
Professor Myles Allen, who led the study, summarizes, “We are already counting on forests and oceans to mop up our past emissions, most of which came from burning stuff we dug out of the ground. We can't expect them to make up for future emissions as well. By mid- century, any carbon that still comes out of the ground will have to go back down, to permanent storage. That's Geological NetZero. ”
Professor Kirsten Zickfeld of Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, Canada, co- author and leader of one of the other 2009 net zero papers, says, “It is a common assumption that removing carbon from the atmosphere to offset burning of fossil fuels is as effective as not burning fossil fuels in the first place. It is not. Offsetting continued fossil fuel use with carbon removal will not be effective if the removal is already being counted on as part of the natural carbon cycle and if the carbon is not permanently stored. ”
32. What is the main finding of the Oxford study published in Nature
A. Natural carbon sinks can offset all fossil fuel emissions.
B. Net zero goal is supposed to include more carbon sources.
C. Fossil fuel use should be banned to achieve net zero goal.
D. Natural carbon sinks alone fail to prevent global warming.
33. What is the consequence of current emission accounting rules
A. They claim net zero status but still cause warming.
B. They discourage the investment in renewable energy.
C. They ignore the role of oceans in carbon absorption.
D. They overestimate the storage capacity of natural sinks.
34. What is the core requirement of “Geological Net Zero”
A. Increasing carbon storage to accelerate ocean absorption.
B. Complete removal of all fossil fuel use in the near future.
C. Underground storage matching ongoing fossil CO2 emissions.
D. Doubling the capacity of natural carbon sinks by reforestation.
35. What is Kirsten Zickfeld's attitude towards the use of carbon offsets
A. Supportive. B. Negative. C. Neutral. D. Indifferent.

Teeth as time capsules
Teeth, in their seemingly ordinary role, hold within them a silent history. They reflect not only our personal stories but also the collective 41 of those before us.
I'll never forget the moment when I lost a 42 as a child. It was a typical childhood experience—one that, in the moment, felt quite 43 . But as I reflect now, it 44 more than just physical growth. It marks the march of time. Teeth, like memories, change and decay (腐烂) , but they never truly disappear. They're a 45 of our passage through life, one small bite at a time.
This idea of teeth as silent witnesses to personal history is something I've 46 more deeply as I've grown older. My grandmother, Zosia, was a dentist in post-war Poland. She didn't pursue the profession out of passion, but out of 47 —after the war, the country was in 48 need of skilled workers. Her work, though often about 49 pain, also bore the weight of history. Every tooth she extracted and every cavity (龋洞) she filled, was 50 to the struggles, grief and survival of a generation marked by war. Her dental work wasn't just a job—it was a way to 51 the broken lives around her.
I now understand how my grandmother's dental work goes beyond its medical purpose-it is a (an) 52 of remembering and preserving the past in ways we often forget. In a 53 , teeth carry the imprint (印记) of time. They're silent witnesses to our history, 54 in plain sight, reminding us of how we've survived, how we've grown, and how we continue to carry the 55 of our pasts.

42. A. tooth B. toy C. pencil D. book
43. A. depressing B. minor C. exciting D. major

Early Chinese characters originated from pictorial symbols and then the 56 (evolve) of Chinese characters gradually began.
When Qin Shi Huang, China's first emperor, established the Qin Dynasty and united the country, he promoted 57 uniform writing system absorbing characters from various regions. An exhibited bronze tablet in Chengdu museum 58 (carve) with 40 characters, which was made in 221 BC when he united China, documented Qin Shi Huang's law to standardize the nation's weights and measures. The bronze tablet 59 (specific) reflected how a nation's governing system 60 (build) up. The Chinese writing system is a solid foundation of a united country with various ethnic groups. Other than the political significance, hanzi symbolizes the inheritance of culture and fine art.
Later, Chinese characters became an art form, and calligraphy emerged as a result. Calligraphy, 61 displays the beauty of writing, has become a 62 (remark) art form in Chinese culture. The handwritten pieces of literati (文人) , high 63 (official) , and even emperors are passed down from generation to generation, 64 (reflect) the profound respect for artistic expression and cultural heritage.
At present, hanzi is the only ancient writing system 65 use in the world. It is a bridge of communication between China and the world, a carrier for recording and inheriting Chinese civilization, and a link in maintaining national unity and promoting ethnic integration.

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。
Tom sat in his wheelchair, fingers tapping the armrest as he stared at the chessboard across the room. The oak tree outside still bore a broken branch, where he'd fallen three months ago. The fall stole not just his mobility but the confidence that made him the chess club's star.
His sister Mia brought a robot home an hour later. “It's called Jovi,” Mia said, “it adapts to habits— learns what you need.” The robot's round screen was powered on, and its wheels let out a low, steady sound as it moved forward. “Designed for chores,” she added, voice tight, “maybe it can keep you company.” Tom kept silent, his eyes cast on the way Jovi's mechanical arm adjusted, too precise to feel like a friend.
“Want to set up the board ” Jovi asked, screening a shining question mark. Tom glanced at his hand- carved knight (马) piece, the one he'd spent weeks crafting. “You can't play,” he whispered. The screen brightened: “Mia downloaded 500 strategies. I can learn from you.” Tom waved it off. Mia's efforts felt like a painful reminder of his accident.
Next morning, Jovi stood by the window, holding his old pawn (兵) . Its screen showed a photo: 12-year-old Tom with a trophy (奖杯) , taken right there. ‘Mia found this in the attic,” Jovi said, smiling. Tom's throat tightened; he'd hidden that trophy in a closet last week. “It's not the same,” he said quietly. Jovi set the pawn down: “Practice Just one game. I'll help you win.” Tom shifted his wheelchair closer.
That afternoon, Tom's classmate Lisa texted: “Tournament Saturday. Want to play chess again ” Tom's thumb hovered (悬停) over the delete button, but he paused, remembering Lisa used to lean over the board and scream when he beat her. Jovi rolled closer, “Her last text before this was two weeks ago. She asked if you wanted her to bring your old chess bag by.” Tom stared at the robot, its screen steady as if it knew exactly what he needed to hear.

(1) 续写词数应为150个左右；

The next day, Jovi arranged the chess pieces carefully. ________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________ On Saturday, Tom entered the tournament hall, followed by Jovi. __________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________
