Nonalcoholic (无酒精) White Russian
1 serving(makes 1 drink)
While not a perfect copy of the original White Russian, this version rings many of the same sensory bells. To make it feel even more special, spring for the best root beer you can find; using one made with quality ingredients makes a noticeable difference.
Where to buy: Rocky Mountain Soda Co. or Sprecher Brewery Company root beer can be found at well-stocked supermarkets, specialty markets and online.

From food writer Allison Robicelli:
Ingredients
●4 ounces cold root beer, preferably a high-quality craft brand (see Where to buy)
●1 teaspoon instant coffee powder (regular or decaf), plus more as needed
●Ice
●2 ounces heavy cream
Steps
●In a rocks glass, gently stir together half of the root beer and the coffee powder until fully dissolved. The mixture will foam and bubble and rise up in the glass. Let the foaming settle, then add the remaining root beer and stir to combine.
●Add ice to fill, then gently pour in the cream. If you want to get a distinct layer ed effect, pour the cream over the back of a spoon. Taste, and add more coffee powder, 1/4 teaspoon at a time,if desired. Serve right away, stirring the soda mixture and cream together just before drinking.
Substitutions
●Regular root beer>> diet root beer.
●Dairy-free >> Use nondairy heavy cream.

Dr. Jewell Parker Rhodes is a pioneering creator in children’s literature who tackles significant issues like social inequality for a young audience. Dr. Rhodes’s choice of audience — younger readers — is the first step that makes her successful. As Dr. Rhodes said, “I see children’s love. I see children’s empathy, their compassion for one another.” Younger readers have no prejudice, and therefore would respond to the social injustice in her books without judgment.
Her success is largely due to a writing style tailored for children. She uses simple, conversational language with abundant dialogue, making her narratives highly accessible and engaging. Additionally, she integrates appealing fantastic elements such as mermaids (美人鱼)and ghosts, which draw young readers and encourage them to explore the deeper themes within her books. In Ghost Boys, the black character Jerome is fatally shot by a police officer while playing with a toy gun, a tragedy arising from racial prejudice. These narratives reveal systemic injustice and inspire crucial discussions among young readers.
Notably, Rhodes’s work goes beyond anger, aiming instead to promote compassion and hope. She believes that by addressing difficult histories, children can be empowered to “make the world better.” This vision is reflected in characters like Sarah in Ghost Boys, the daughter of the same police officer, who grows up to advocate for justice. As noted by Kirkus Reviews, her books offer deep critical insight and challenge readers toward self-definition.
In summary, through her strategic choice of audience, accessible style, and powerful yet hopeful storytelling, Dr. Rhodes serves as a groundbreaker. Her books equip the next generation with the awareness and empathy needed to envision and create a more inclusive future, embodying her hope that these young readers will help eliminate racial prejudice.
24. Why does Dr. Rhodes choose to write for children
A. Children need compassion for others.
B. Children prefer social inequality issues.
C. Children respond with natural empathy.
D. Children have no judgment for literature.
25. Which of the following is a part of Rhodes’s writing style
A. Formal grammar. B. Imaginary features.
C. Straight narratives. D. Abundant vocabulary.
26. What can we find in Rhodes’s work according to paragraph 3
A. Vision of hope. B. Promotion of anger.
C. Insight into justice. D. reflection on history.
27. What is Rhodes’s hope for her young readers
A. To rebuild the world. B. To challenge injustice.
C. To avoid difficult topics. D. To advocate personal success.

For centuries, the Rhine River has been celebrated as the lifeline of Europe, a vital waterway for commerce, culture, and ecology. However, a study published in January 2026 reveals a troubling modern reality: this historic river now acts as a massive conveyor belt for rubbish, carrying between 3,000 and 4,700 tons of large garbage into the North Sea every single year.
How could such a vast amount of waste have been missed The answer lies in a revolutionary new research method. For an entire year, researchers worked with local citizen scientists to operate a special floating device called a litter trap. This device filtered (过滤) water from the surface down to 80 centimeters deep. Unlike older methods that relied on brief visual surveys, this long-term physical collection recorded the true, disorganized flow of garbage. The data showed enormous changes, with the amount of rubbish collected in a two-week period varying wildly from as few as 67 pieces to over 2,700, accounting for why short-term observations failed to get the full picture.
The collected garbage tells a clear story about its origins. Detailed analysis showed that while plastic items made up about 70% of all pieces, they were mostly lightweight, only 15% of the total weight. More importantly, over 56% of all rubbish was linked directly to the choices of individual consumers, with items like food wrappers and beverage (饮料) bottles being most common. Specific activities also left their mark, with litter from fireworks making up 10.7% of the total and tobacco-related waste like cigarette butts contributing another 6.5%.
This year-long project, powered in part by dedicated volunteers, proves that long-term, hands-on monitoring is essential to measure environmental challenges accurately. It provides a powerful model for how communities and scientists can work together to gather the evidence needed for action. The Rhine’s story is no longer just about its scenic beauty or economic importance; it is an urgent call to address the tide of waste our modern lifestyle creates, before it all washes out to sea.
28. What is the main finding of the 2026 study on the Rhine River
A. It has a vital status in history.
B. It flows into the North Sea every year.
C. It becomes a carrier of massive rubbish.
D. It loses the role as a waterway for ecology.
29. Which of the following contributed to old methods’ failure
A. Not involving local volunteers.
B. Lacking recorded data of advanced tools.
C. Only collecting water from the surface.
D. Missing dramatic changes in short surveys.
30. What can we learn from the figures in paragraph 3
A. Fireworks were the most polluted activity.
B. Smoking had little effect on the environment.
C. Most rubbish came from personal consumption.
D. Plastics made up most of the weight.
31. What is the primary purpose of the passage
A. To analyse origins of river garbage.
B. To emphasize pollution and urge action.
C. To explain a new method to clear rubbish.
DTo praise the project led by volunteers.
D
Did you splurge (挥霍) on Black Friday this year The answer may depend on your income. In a departure from long-held conventions, this year’s holiday spending patterns so far have been largely driven by household income, according to new data provided to The Washington Post by Consumer Edge.
The richest households, with incomes over $150,000, spent 3 percent more between Black Friday and Cyber Monday than they did a year ago. Shoppers with household incomes less than $40,000, meanwhile, pulled back, spending 2 percent less than they did in the same period last year, when the opposite was true: Spending by lower-income families picked up at a faster rate than other income groups.
This year, however, stubbornly high prices have left many of these families sitting out the unofficial shopping holiday altogether. For the first time, the top 10 percent of Americans account for nearly half of all spending, up from about 35 percent in the early 1990s. That dynamic has been particularly pronounced this holiday season, as retailers turn to deep discounts to win over customers. For the wealthy, this weekend serves as an opportunity to score luxuries like wine fridges at deep discounts. But for much of the country, those deals feel as out of reach as ever, as people struggle to keep up with everyday bills.
The widening spending split reflects a larger divide across the economy. Lower-and middle-income Americans have been hard hit by rising costs for utilities (水电费), food and housing, which are making it tougher to afford the basics. They are increasingly falling behind on credit cards and car loans and are pulling back on spending as a result. Meanwhile, wealthier Americans have continued to spend generously, boosted by rising home values, stock market gains and outsize income growth.
“This year looks different from the rest: No matter how you look at it, uneven economic conditions are shaping people’s spending,” said Michael Gunther, head of insights at Consumer Edge.
32. What can be inferred about last year’s spending pattern
A. It was determined by economic growth.
B. It was largely varied across income groups.
C. It was less influenced by economic inequality.
D. It was balanced between income and spending.
33What does the underlined word “dynamic” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. The retailers’ deep discounts strategy.
B. The wealthy’s near-half spending share.
C. The stubborn prices of everyday essentials.
D. The rising trend of purchasing luxury goods.
34. What is the main idea of paragraph 4
A. It describes the struggles in paying bills.
B. It introduces different consumption customs.
C. It highlights the overall increase of holiday sales.
D. It explains economic causes for the spending gap.
35. Why is Michael Gunther’s words quoted
A. To give a concrete example for the trend.
B. To make a summary of the key argument.
C. To offer a solution to the economic problem.
D. To provide an opposing view for further debate.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
This scientifically proven trick is a total game-changer for anyone who cooks. We all know the familiar sting; you start chopping an onion only to end up with tears streaming down your face. Why does this happen ____36____
When you cut an onion, you break its cells, releasing sulfur (硫磺) compounds that form a gas. This gas mixes with the natural moisture in your eyes, creating a mild acid that causes irritation (刺激). ____37____ This is a protective reaction, not an emotional cry.
The other major cause is tiny droplets. As a knife — especially a blunt (钝的) one — presses into the onion, it squeezes the inner liquid. When the skin breaks, this liquid forms droplets that splash upward, directly into your eyes.
____38____ A sharp knife slices cleanly, causing far less tissue pressure and droplet spray than a dull one. Using a blunt tool makes the tear problem much worse.
Furthermore, these flying droplets pose an additional health risk. ____39____ If present, these germs can be spread around your kitchen by the same droplets that make you cry, increasing infection risk. Therefore, a sharp knife is a tool for both comfort and safety.
What is the best solution Simply sharpen your knives. The study tested common tips like washing onions in cold water or cooling them in the fridge, and found they did not work. ____40____ But for a simpler, science-backed method to minimize tears and mess, a sharp blade is your most effective choice.
A. Onions can sometimes carry bacteria.
B. Not everyone needs protection while slicing onions.
C. This finding highlights the importance of your knife.
D. In response, your eyes produce tears to wash the irritant away.
E. For complete protection safety glasses create a reliable barrier.
F. Researchers now have uncovered both a chemical and a physical reason.
G. This uncomfortable situation kicks your eyes into full-on protection mode.

My husband and I were on vacation with our travel truck. The Wisconsin summer countryside was breathtaking, but the promise of a perfect journey ____41____ when our truck broke down.
Our truck had an oil-pressure problem but we were ____42____ that we could make it home in a week to have it fixed. We were wrong. It ____43____ halfway and we pulled over, unable to restart the engine.
After an hour or so, our tow truck arrived, taking us to a(n) ____44____ shop in the nearby town of Baraboo. The owner of the shop sat us in his office and began making calls to ____45____ other customers to avoid inconvenience. He then ____46____ us to Chris, one of his mechanics, who ____47____offered his own backyard for us to park our truck and even drove us into the town for ____48____, refusing to accept anything in return.
When we ____49____ a family-run pizza place, the owner noticed our tired expressions and served us a pizza much larger than what we had ____50____. “This one’s on me,” he said warmly. “You look like you’ve had a ____51____ day.” This pattern of selfless generosity ____52____ everywhere — from the grocery owner who let us charge our phones for free to the mechanic who offered a heartfelt ____53____ for our safe travels once the truck was repaired.
In Baraboo, we had experienced the pure, unexpected ____54____ of strangers, a gift that transformed our ____55____ into a truly unforgettable and uplifting journey.
41. A. changed B. arose C. stood D. disappeared
42. A. lucky B. relaxed C. confident D. surprised
43. A. cut in B. shut down C. fell apart D. start off
44. A. oil B. repair C. pizza D. grocery

46. A. mentioned B. introduced C. compared D. invited

48. A. dinner B. travel C. examination D. enjoyment
49. A. looked for B. picked out C. settled on D. set aside
50. A. seen B. designed C. ordered D. recommended
51. A. big B. nice C. long D. funny
52. A. differed B. mattered C. competed D. continued
53. A. wish B. story C. warning D. memory
54. A. encounter B. pity C. kindness D. contact

On Saturday, the frozen Songhua River witnessed the first “HIT-Cambridge-Oxford Cup” Ice-Dragon-Boat International Friendship Race, ____56____ fourteen top universities in China and the UK participated. Nearly 200 rowers forcefully ____57____ (strike) the ice in perfect unison to drive their dragon boats forward, with the audience lining the banks erupting in ____58____ (enthusiasm) cheers.
“Amazing! ____59____ centuries of rowing on the River Cam, we have never raced on ice,” said Edward Townsend from Cambridge, adding that the biting cold was ____60____ test of both stamina and team spirit.
The Cambridge team, along with teams from Nanjing University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University and host Harbin Institute of Technology, ____61____ (award) the first prize-four teams sharing the second prize and six ____62____ (win) the third prize.

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。
My brother’s wedding brought us to Mexico City. It is a beautiful place with amazing food, but it also has an alarming crime rate, including kidnappings (绑架) of tourists. Before arriving, my sister-in-law-to-be, who lived there, relayed all the safety tips.
“Never get in a red-and-gold taxi. Those aren’t licensed, and anyone can paint their car, take you, steal your money, and make you empty the ATM,” she said. Her smile didn’t match the severity of the warning.
“Check. Avoid red-and-gold taxis,” I replied.
On the day of the wedding, my husband and I were to be separated. My sister-in-law had arranged for my mother and me to have our hair and makeup done in my hotel room. Once our transformation was complete, we’d head to the hotel shuttle (班车) to take us safely to the wedding at the venue.
A shuttle pulled up in front of us, and the hotel staff hurried us into empty seats. All the other rows were full of people having conversations in Spanish. We don’t speak Spanish. We asked the driver if we were on the right transport, and the answer was a nod. However, the shuttle headed in the same direction but drove past our destination when I realized that everyone else had plans to attend the same wedding — and it wasn’t my brother’s.
By the time we got to the shuttle’s destination twenty minutes later, my mother was in full boil (心急火燎). She was certain she was going to miss her son’s wedding. I got out and talked to a porter at the venue. He told me we had caught a private vehicle, and they could not transport us back because the family had hired them to drive their guests. I asked the porter to call us an official taxi. A white one.

Dear Peter,
I was delighted to learn of your interest in our school’s recent exhibition on Traditional Chinese Cuisine Culture. I’m very happy to share the details with you.
The exhibition offered a rich experience through three main parts. First, there were live demonstrations of making classic dishes like dumplings and mooncakes. Second, we displayed beautiful historical tableware (餐具) which came from various dynasties. Finally, interactive tea culture sessions allowed visitors to learn about and taste different Chinese teas.
I truly believe this event helped us all appreciate the depth of our food heritage more deeply. I hope we can enjoy some traditional Chinese food together in the future!
Yours,
Li Hua
【答案】 Paragraph 1: What arrived was a slightly battered red-and-gold taxi. My heart sank, but time was running out. I pushed my hesitating mother into the backseat, whispering, “We have no choice.” As the cab sped through the busy streets, my mother’s anxiety grew. She spoke loudly on the phone, voicing all her fears in English about our “crazy driver” and unsure destination. I held her hand tightly, trying to calm us both by repeating that we were moving in the right direction. The driver remained silent, his eyes fixed on the road, leaving us wondering what he understood.
Paragraph 2: The driver said in perfect English, “Is this your place ” We were stunned into silence. My mother’s face turned red with embarrassment while I felt a wave of relief. He explained he had driven many worried wedding guests and recognized our panic. With a kind smile, he wished us well. Stepping out at the venue, we realized our real struggle had been against our own fear, not the driver. Though our makeup was now melted, we arrived just in time, which reminded that trust can often be the safest route of all.
