Jake Lee Pinnick is busy preparing food, clothing and house decorations, putting up couplets and visiting friends with his family to celebrate the Spring Festival, or the Chinese Lunar NewYear.
In 2010, the 32-year-old American traveled to the Wudang Mountains, a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site in central China’s Hubei Province, to learn martial arts. Pinnick said he was very interested in Chinese Kung Fu from a young age.
When Pinnick first arrived in the Wudang Mountains, he had no earlier training or martial arts experience, so he began with a five-year training program, learning the basics and all aboutTaoist culture. Pinnick said the first six months were the hardest, because he had to train for eight or nine hours, six days a week, whatever the temperature outside.
After over a decade of hard training, he has mastered various forms of Chinese Kung Fu, including Tai Chi and Qigong, and become a guider with about 200 apprentices (学徒) in China. This year is the 13th Spring Festival that Pinnick has spent in China. He likes the Spring Festival and the traditions here. He also teaches his daughter Selina Lee Pinnick these traditions.
As the new year begins, people are starting new chapters in their lives and making resolutions. Pinnick also has many plans and wishes — he plans on making more efforts to learn the Chinese language this year. In addition to learning Chinese, Pinnick will continue to learn about traditional Chinese culture and how to play Chinese musical instruments in his leisure time, and he will share his experience on social media.
“I think that the experience I’ve had, being a foreigner coming to China and learning the culture from outside, is unique. I hope to introduce Chinese Kung Fu and traditions to more westerners,” he said.
4. What was Pinnick’s main reason for traveling to the Wudang Mountains
A. To learn Chinese Kung Fu. B. To know about Taoist culture.
C. To visit some places of interest. D. To celebrate the Spring Festival.
5. Which of the following best describes Pinnick

6. What can we infer about Pinnick according to the article
A. He planned to open a Chinese Kung Fu school.
B. He became skillful at different kinds of Kung Fu.
C. He asked his daughter to learn Chinese musical instruments.
D. He practised Kung Fu before coming to the Wudang Mountains.
7. Why does Pinnick hope to share his experience on social media
A. To become famous online. B. To take in more apprentices.

Coke knows that its soda caps often end up as rubbish. So it’s trying to solve the problem by attaching them to the bottle, at least in the United Kingdom.
The new bottles have an attached cap, a design that is supposed to make it easier for consumers to recycle the whole package (包装) at once — and to keep caps out of the dustbin. The change only applies to UK bottles.
“This is a small change that we hope will have a big effect, ensuring that when consumers recycle our bottles, no cap gets left behind,” said Jon Woods, general manager at Coca-ColaGreat Britain, in a statement Tuesday.
Plastic waste is a major environmental problem. It’s also a big public relations problem for companies like Coke. When the company’s bottles or caps end up on beaches or in landfills (垃圾填埋场) consumers recognize them as Coke products, doing great harm to Coke’s reputation (声誉). As a result, more companies are taking steps to try to reduce their waste.
However, some environmentalists don’t think highly of Coca-Cola’s efforts, saying they fall short. “Whether their plastic caps are attached or not, the company still produces billions of throwaway plastic bottles every year, harming our environment, our communities and our climate, and influencing our health,” said Graham Forbes, global plastics project lead at Greenpeace USA. “If they truly want to solve the problem, Coca-Cola must focus on reducing plastic by doubling its reuse and refill packaging target to 50% by 2030,” said Forbes.
8. Why do the new Coke bottles have an attached cap
A. To sell Coke products. B. To collect empty bottles.
C. To keep Coke caps in the dustbin. D. To better recycle Coke packages.
9. What does the underlined phrase “fall short” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Are not enough. B. Are worth praising.
C. Are satisfying. D. Are unnecessary.
10. What can we learn from the text
A. Coke’s reputation has been destroyed.
B. Coke’s new bottle is used around the world.
C. Plastic waste might do harm to a company’s fame.
D. Coke has doubled its reuse and refill packaging target.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. A Small Change with a Big Impact
B. We should Say No to Plastic Waste
C. Coke’s New Bottle Cap doesn’t Come off
D. Coke Keeps Plastic Waste out of the Dustbin
D
In the modern era, mirrors often show physical images (形象) as well as the mental struggles of self-awareness, especially among teenagers. The glass surfaces, found in bedrooms and bathrooms around the world, have seen the silent battles that many young individuals face.
Appearance anxiety has become a widespread issue, with social media and peer pressure acting as magnifying glasses (放大镜) that mislead them about their self-worth. Filtered (滤镜处理过的) photos posted on platforms like TikTok have created an environment where seeking perfection seems not just desirable but necessary. To make matters worse, the strong desire for the perfect appearance has led many teenagers to make unhealthy comparisons, often resulting in negative self-talks and more worries about their looks.
The deep-rooted problem can affect mental health in particular. Studies have shown that teenagers who are overly concerned with their looks are more likely to experience anxiety, depression, and low self-confidence. The pressure to be up to beauty standards is huge, and it often begins at a young age. The seemingly perfect images in magazines, on television and social media platforms create an unrealistic standard for teenagers to measure themselves against. Unfortunately, it can lead to a lasting state of dissatisfaction with their looks.
To solve the problem, it is important to understand that beauty is not a one-size-fits-all concept. It varies from person to person. We ought to encourage teenagers to accept their unique features and to understand that their worth is not defined by their looks. Parents, educators, and society as a whole have a role to play in developing a more acceptable and positive view of beauty. We are also supposed to teach young people that the journey towards self-acceptance is just as important as acquiring great knowledge and developing other skills.
12. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning “mirrors” in paragraph 1
A. To introduce the topic. B. To provide examples.
C. To show his argument. D. To make comparisons.
13. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about
A. Mental struggles of teenagers. B. Problems faced by teenagers.
C. Causes of teenage appearance anxiety. D. Effects of social media on teenagers.
14. What is a result of teenage appearance anxiety according to the text
A. Teenagers are not satisfied with beauty standards.
B. Teenagers are more likely to suffer mental problems.
C. Teenagers are more likely to have poor physical health.
D. Teenagers are not satisfied with social media platforms.
15. What does the writer try to do in the last paragraph
A. Call on parents to understand young people better.
B. Encourage young people to acquire more knowledge.
C Inspire teenagers to develop as many skills as possible.
D. Give advice on how to deal with teenage appearance anxiety.

As a high school freshman, Emily had always been close to her family. However, as the pressure of schoolwork increased and her social life expanded, she found their family relationship on the rocks. She disliked it when her parents kept asking such questions as “Where are you going”, “Who are you going with”. She felt they were always on her back about something. She just couldn’t see eye to eye with them on so many things!
The once harmonious home environment was now filled with heated arguments and cold silences. Emily felt her parents didn’t understand her, and they felt she was becoming distant and impatient. It seemed that they were becoming strangers under the same roof!
One afternoon, after a particularly heated argument about her curfew (宵禁令), Emily stormed into her room, slamming the door behind her. She threw herself onto her bed, tears streaming down her face. She couldn’t understand why her parents were so unreasonable. She was almost15, after all, and her friends were allowed to stay out later. Why couldn’t her parents trust her
As she lay there, her anger slowly gave way to calm. At that time, Emily’s phone buzzed. It was a message from her mother, asking if she would go downstairs to have dinner. Buzzing again!It was a message from Dad, which read, “Emily, we love you very much, and we only want what’s best for you. We know you’ re growing up, and we want to respect your independence, but we also need to know you’ re safe.”
Emily hesitated but decided it was time to clear the air. When she entered the dining room,she found her parents sitting at the table, looking as upset as she felt.
Dinner had been served on the table, with a bowl of chocolate cake, her favorite, specially placed in front of her. Emily felt a wave of warmth flooding over her.
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。
She realized that her parents were trying, and she should also make some efforts.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Over the next few weeks, Emily noticed things changed amazingly.

Coke knows that its soda caps often end up as rubbish. So it’s trying to solve the problem by attaching them to the bottle, at least in the United Kingdom.
The new bottles have an attached cap, a design that is supposed to make it easier for consumers to recycle the whole package (包装) at once — and to keep caps out of the dustbin. The change only applies to UK bottles.
“This is a small change that we hope will have a big effect, ensuring that when consumers recycle our bottles, no cap gets left behind,” said Jon Woods, general manager at Coca-ColaGreat Britain, in a statement Tuesday.
Plastic waste is a major environmental problem. It’s also a big public relations problem for companies like Coke. When the company’s bottles or caps end up on beaches or in landfills (垃圾填埋场) consumers recognize them as Coke products, doing great harm to Coke’s reputation (声誉). As a result, more companies are taking steps to try to reduce their waste.
However, some environmentalists don’t think highly of Coca-Cola’s efforts, saying they fall short. “Whether their plastic caps are attached or not, the company still produces billions of throwaway plastic bottles every year, harming our environment, our communities and our climate, and influencing our health,” said Graham Forbes, global plastics project lead at Greenpeace USA. “If they truly want to solve the problem, Coca-Cola must focus on reducing plastic by doubling its reuse and refill packaging target to 50% by 2030,” said Forbes.
8. Why do the new Coke bottles have an attached cap
A. To sell Coke products. B. To collect empty bottles.
C. To keep Coke caps in the dustbin. D. To better recycle Coke packages.
9. What does the underlined phrase “fall short” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Are not enough. B. Are worth praising.
C. Are satisfying. D. Are unnecessary.
10. What can we learn from the text
A. Coke’s reputation has been destroyed.
B. Coke’s new bottle is used around the world.
C. Plastic waste might do harm to a company’s fame.
D. Coke has doubled its reuse and refill packaging target.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. A Small Change with a Big Impact
B. We should Say No to Plastic Waste
C. Coke’s New Bottle Cap doesn’t Come off
D. Coke Keeps Plastic Waste out of the Dustbin

In the modern era, mirrors often show physical images (形象) as well as the mental struggles of self-awareness, especially among teenagers. The glass surfaces, found in bedrooms and bathrooms around the world, have seen the silent battles that many young individuals face.
Appearance anxiety has become a widespread issue, with social media and peer pressure acting as magnifying glasses (放大镜) that mislead them about their self-worth. Filtered (滤镜处理过的) photos posted on platforms like TikTok have created an environment where seeking perfection seems not just desirable but necessary. To make matters worse, the strong desire for the perfect appearance has led many teenagers to make unhealthy comparisons, often resulting in negative self-talks and more worries about their looks.
The deep-rooted problem can affect mental health in particular. Studies have shown that teenagers who are overly concerned with their looks are more likely to experience anxiety, depression, and low self-confidence. The pressure to be up to beauty standards is huge, and it often begins at a young age. The seemingly perfect images in magazines, on television and social media platforms create an unrealistic standard for teenagers to measure themselves against. Unfortunately, it can lead to a lasting state of dissatisfaction with their looks.
To solve the problem, it is important to understand that beauty is not a one-size-fits-all concept. It varies from person to person. We ought to encourage teenagers to accept their unique features and to understand that their worth is not defined by their looks. Parents, educators, and society as a whole have a role to play in developing a more acceptable and positive view of beauty. We are also supposed to teach young people that the journey towards self-acceptance is just as important as acquiring great knowledge and developing other skills.
12. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning “mirrors” in paragraph 1
A. To introduce the topic. B. To provide examples.
C. To show his argument. D. To make comparisons.
13. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about
A. Mental struggles of teenagers. B. Problems faced by teenagers.
C. Causes of teenage appearance anxiety. D. Effects of social media on teenagers.
14. What is a result of teenage appearance anxiety according to the text
A. Teenagers are not satisfied with beauty standards.
B. Teenagers are more likely to suffer mental problems.
C. Teenagers are more likely to have poor physical health.
D. Teenagers are not satisfied with social media platforms.
15. What does the writer try to do in the last paragraph
A. Call on parents to understand young people better.
B. Encourage young people to acquire more knowledge.
C Inspire teenagers to develop as many skills as possible.
D. Give advice on how to deal with teenage appearance anxiety.

【答案】Friends in my Eyes
Good morning, everyone! Today, I would like to talk about friends in my eyes.
Friends are extremely important in our lives. They stand by us when we are in trouble and share our joys when we succeed. A life without friends is like a journey without sunshine, making us feel lonely and helpless.
In my opinion, a good friend should have two key qualities. First, honesty — true friends always tell each other the truth. Second, kindness — they care about others and are willing to offer help whenever needed.
Let’s cherish our true friends. They make our world warmer and brighter.
Thank you for your listening!
