Tobi, a 15-year-old dog with messy brown fur, was happily walking with his owner and best friend, Andrea Caceres, in a park of New York City one day in August. He wasn’t scared at all by the noise of cars from the nearby road, or even when a loud ambulance rushed past. “He’s a true New Yorker,” Caceres said with a laugh.
But the little dog wasn’t always so familiar with the big city. Caceres’ new children’s book, Hello, Tobi!, is a celebration of Tobi’s walks in the parks when he first arrived in New York. Tobi was born in Valencia, Venezuela. Back then, Caceres was planning to become a civil engineer. “While I was studying, I started illustrating,” she said. “And I started illustrating Tobi.” Without ever taking a single art class, Caceres graduated with an engineering degree—but she pursued work as an artist.
In 2016, Caceres moved to the United States and found a position as a textile designer. “I was designing for other people here. I didn’t have time to do anything for myself,” she said. Worse of all, she had to leave Tobi back in Venezuela. She missed him immensely, and she was eager for a creative outlet to help her through all the transitions she was going through. So she started a project: Every day, for a whole year, she would draw a different dog. She called the project “A Dog A Day Keeps the Stress Away”, and the first dog she drew in January 2018 was, of course, Tobi.
The illustrations took off. Soon, Cáceres started getting invited to draw people’s pets and paint murals for cafés and vet clinics. Best of all, after more than two years apart, she saved enough to bring Tobi to New York. “The moment he saw me, he started crying,” she recalled. Hello, Tobi! is a portrait of this period.
In real life and in the story, Tobi greets all the different people at the park—but he has a clear favorite: his own family. “He loves me and I just always love him back,” Cáceres said.
4. Why did Cáceres say Tobi is “a true New Yorker”
A. Because Tobi has been raised up in New York.
B. Because Tobi has found a lot of local friends here.
C. Because Tobi has adapted to the noisy urban environment.
D. Because Tobi has got familiar with various roads in this city.
5. Why did Cáceres start “A Dog A Day Keeps the Stress Away”
A. To improve her skills as a textile designer.
B. To create a new children’s book about dogs.
C. To remember her fond memories in Venezuela.
D. To cope with the changes and stress in her new life.
6. What happened to Cáceres after the success of her illustrations
A. She opened her own art studio in New York City.
B. She earned enough money to reunite with her dog.
C. She became a full-time writer of children’s books.
D. She decided to move back to Venezuela permanently.
7. Which of the following can best describe Cáceres
A. Positive and artistic. B. Talented and generous.
C. Creative and independent. D. Brave and cooperative.
C
In the crystal-clear waters near Talamone, Italy, an extraordinary sight awaits beneath the Mediterranean Sea’s surface. Mermaids, towering giants and enormous sculptural eyes gaze upward from the ocean floor, creating an otherworldly underwater gallery that serves a crucial environmental purpose. This unique initiative represents one innovative fisherman’s determined effort to protect vital fishing grounds from the disastrous impact of commercial fishing nets that threaten marine ecosystems.
The underwater sculpture garden operates on a simple yet effective principle that strategically placed artistic installations (安装工程) work alongside concrete blocks to physically obstruct and break the fishing nets that destroy marine life. These massive fishing nets, dragged across the seafloor by commercial vessels, destroy delicate underwater habitats and deplete fish populations that local fishing communities depend upon for their livelihood.
The project has evolved beyond its initial conservation goals to become a cooperative effort involving local educational institutions and young artists. Students from a high school in nearby Grosseto have actively participated in the initiative, creating specialized sculptural works designed to serve two purposes. These student-crafted pieces not only contribute to the anti-fishing barrier system but also provide alternative habitats for marine creatures. By offering the marine species a safe shelter within the sculptural installations, the project helps reduce their vulnerability to illegal fishing practices while supporting natural population recovery.
The fisherman behind the initiative recognized that traditional regulatory approaches alone were not enough to fulfill the environmental commitment. And the sculptures themselves have captured international attention while serving practical conservation purposes. Each piece sunk to the Mediterranean floor contributes to a growing underwater museum that tells the story of local efforts to preserve marine biodiversity.
As the sculpture garden continues to expand, it serves as an inspiring example of how art and environmental protection can work together to create lasting positive change in marine ecosystems.
8. What is the purpose of the underwater sculptures
A. To protect underwater ecosystems. B. To promote local fishing industry.
C. To raise environmental awareness. D. To create an attractive artistic gallery.
9. What does the underlined word “deplete” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Carefully manage. B. Gradually relocate.
C. Significantly reduce. D. Successfully protect.
10. What can we learn about the project in paragraph 3
A. The project calls for more support from students and artists.
B. The project has expanded into a community-based initiative.
C. The sculptures have managed to stop practices of illegal fishing.
D. The sculptures show superior artistic skills of the young participants.
11. What is the best title for the passage
A. Art in the depths: A New Fashion in Italy
B. Sculpting a Shield: Art Meets Conservation
C. From Gallery to Fishery: The Power of Students
D. Guarding the Deep: Traditional Ways of Protection
D
Scientists have long explored to turn the mechanical energy of raindrops into electricity. However, traditional droplet (液滴) generators have problems like being heavy, expensive, and hard to make in large sizes. A team from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics has created a new floating droplet electricity generator. It uses water in its structure, making it lighter, cheaper and more eco-friendly.
Unlike most existing generators that use solid platforms and metal electrode (电极), the new device floats on water. Water here works both as a support and a conductive electrode. This special design cuts the device’s weight by about 80% and its cost by nearly half, while it still produces as much electricity as traditional systems.
When a raindrop hits the floating layer of the generator, the water below takes in the impact and helps the drop spread out. At the same time, ions (离子) in the water carry electric charges. Together, these things let the generator make about 250 volts of electricity from one raindrop. The generator also has smart drainage holes. These holes use water’s surface tension to remove extra water without letting it flow back, so the generator works stably. It can also work well in different temperatures and salt levels, even in natural lake water. Its special structure makes it strong enough for bad environments.
Another advantage of this new technology is its capacity for large-scale production. Researchers built a 0.3-square-meter model, which is much bigger than earlier ones. It can power 50 LEDs at the same time and charge small batteries in minutes. This means it could be used to power small electronic devices and sensors on lakes or near the sea, without taking up any land.
Professor Wanlin Guo, who led the study, said this “nature-integrated” design is a big step for cheap and light hydropower systems. These systems can work with solar and wind power. Besides making electricity, the technology can also help monitor water environments, like powering sensors that check water quality. Of course, there are still challenges. For example, raindrops fall unevenly, and the generator’s long-term outdoor use needs more testing. But this floating generator is still an important progress for practical hydropower use.
12. What is the main advantage of the floating generator over traditional ones
A. It uses eco-friendly metal electrodes. B. It produces higher voltage per raindrop.
C. It works efficiently in desert environments. D. It reduces weight and cost significantly.
13. What’s Paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The materials used to make the new generator.
B. The working environment of the new generator.
C. The working principle and strengths of the new generator.
D. The differences between the new generator and traditional ones.
14. The 0.3-square-meter model in Para 4 demonstrates ________.
A. the generator’s powerful capacity B. the larger size of traditional versions
C. the reliability of outdoor operations D. the ability to monitor the water quality
15. What is the author’s attitude toward the new generator
A. Doubtful about its practical value.
B. Unconcerned about its technical details.
C. Cautiously optimistic about its future use.
D. Confident that it will replace other energy sources.

Jane’s family used to live in a modest but cozy house on a quiet street in New York. A white wooden door stood at the entrance, slightly worn from years of use, and two wide windows faced the street, letting in soft morning light. In front of the house grew an old maple tree, whose shade covered the yard every summer and whose red leaves always announced the arrival of autumn. It was not the size of the house that mattered, but the sense of belonging it gave to everyone who lived there.
Everything was taken away in a single night. A sudden wildfire swept through the area, moving faster than anyone had expected. Jane and her parents escaped with only a few personal belongings. When they were finally allowed to return, nothing remained but ashes and broken walls. Their home, along with everything inside it, was gone forever.
Since then, the family had been staying in a government-arranged temporary shelter. The room was clean but cold, and it never truly felt like home. Jane noticed that her parents spoke less and smiled less. Her mother often stared silently out of the window, while her father tried to stay busy, as if work could keep his sadness away. The coming of winter only made things harder.
As Christmas drew near, the shelter was decorated with simple lights, but the holiday spirit felt distant to Jane’s family. In the past, this was the season when her parents would put up decorations and play music at home. Now, those traditions seemed painfully far away. Seeing her parents’ low spirits, Jane felt a deep ache in her heart. She wished she could do something to bring back even a small part of what they had lost.
One evening, while scrolling through her phone, Jane came across a post shared online. It was about an artist who offered to paint pictures of homes destroyed in the New York fire, free of charge, so that families could keep a lasting memory of what they had lost. At the end of the post, a simple note caught her eye: “If you need help, you may contact me at the number below.”

Elective Courses: Subject-based or Interest-oriented
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Elective Courses: Subject-based or Interest-oriented
As for the elective courses to be offered in our school, I strongly believe they should be designed mainly according to students’ interests.
Compared with required subjects, elective courses are meant to broaden students’ horizons rather than simply improve test scores. When allowed to choose courses they are truly interested in, students are more likely to learn actively instead of passively completing tasks. This not only increases learning efficiency but brings out their strengths and talents. What’s more, interest-oriented courses can reduce study pressure and provide students with opportunities to relax and think creatively, which is especially important in a highly competitive learning environment.
Therefore, focusing on students’ interests will better serve the purpose of elective courses and contribute to students’ all-round development.

47. 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。
Jane’s family used to live in a modest but cozy house on a quiet street in New York. A white wooden door stood at the entrance, slightly worn from years of use, and two wide windows faced the street, letting in soft morning light. In front of the house grew an old maple tree, whose shade covered the yard every summer and whose red leaves always announced the arrival of autumn. It was not the size of the house that mattered, but the sense of belonging it gave to everyone who lived there.
Everything was taken away in a single night. A sudden wildfire swept through the area, moving faster than anyone had expected. Jane and her parents escaped with only a few personal belongings. When they were finally allowed to return, nothing remained but ashes and broken walls. Their home, along with everything inside it, was gone forever.
Since then, the family had been staying in a government-arranged temporary shelter. The room was clean but cold, and it never truly felt like home. Jane noticed that her parents spoke less and smiled less. Her mother often stared silently out of the window, while her father tried to stay busy, as if work could keep his sadness away. The coming of winter only made things harder.
As Christmas drew near, the shelter was decorated with simple lights, but the holiday spirit felt distant to Jane’s family. In the past, this was the season when her parents would put up decorations and play music at home. Now, those traditions seemed painfully far away. Seeing her parents’ low spirits, Jane felt a deep ache in her heart. She wished she could do something to bring back even a small part of what they had lost.
One evening, while scrolling through her phone, Jane came across a post shared online. It was about an artist who offered to paint pictures of homes destroyed in the New York fire, free of charge, so that families could keep a lasting memory of what they had lost. At the end of the post, a simple note caught her eye: “If you need help, you may contact me at the number below.”

Gently, Jane handed the newly received painting to her parents.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
An idea slowly formed in her mind. Taking a deep breath, Jane picked up her phone and got through to the number. On the phone, she explained what her family had been through and described the house in careful detail. After digesting her emotional words, the artist paused and then promised to represent their home on the canvas. Days passed slowly, and Jane checked her phone again and again in anxiety. Then one afternoon, a parcel finally arrived. Upon seeing the long-anticipated painting, she, without a moment’s delay, rushed off to find her parents.
Carefully, Jane gently handed the newly received picture to her parents. They leaned closer, hardly breathing. The house in the painting looked alive, filled with light and warmth. Tears rolled down their faces, but this time they were not only from sadness. A soft smile appeared, breaking the long silence. Jane felt her heart lighten as she watched them. The shelter no longer seemed so cold, for the picture had brought their memories — and their home — back to them.
