On a recent trip through the Himalayas, my bruises (淤伤) became the truest souvenirs. More personal than anything bought, they carry a unique memory. Over time, my desire for typical souvenirs has faded; I now value experiences over objects. But maybe that’s just me. Two out of three Americans bring back a souvenir from their travels, with US sales topping $21bn in 2022.
Humans have long collected objects to remember experiences. With the rise of industrialization and tourism, souvenirs became more common. Souvenirs bring back happy memories, serving as a simple way to say, “I was there.” “At the heart of our actions is a desire to feel heard, seen and connected,” explains Madarkal, a professor in India.
Travellers today are more aware of their impact on local community, but the problems caused by travel souvenirs are often overlooked. In a 2022 Australian report, up to 75% of souvenirs marketed as “local” are made overseas. Real goods are expensive due to time-consuming labour involved, so some shops sell cheap fakes (假货) with most customers giving little regard to their origins. While buying fakes may seem to support local sellers, it often minimizes the profit of the traditional handicrafts, creating a negative cycle.
So, how can you buy meaningful souvenirs “Be curious... it’s not just about buying or choosing carefully, it’s about rejecting and explaining why,” said Madarkal. Asking where an item comes from and how it is made is a good first step. Choosing unique designs over mass-produced goods at fair-trade markets helps support local communities. Intentions also matter, as souvenirs should be chosen for personal meaning rather than habit. And souvenirs don’t always have to be objects — journals or skills gained can become lasting reminders.
Ultimately, there’s no universal rule for a “meaningful” souvenir. But next time you’re grabbing a quick airport souvenir, pause and reflect.
4．What changed the author’s view on souvenirs
A．A search for adventures. B．A desire for experiences.
C．Fear of physical injuries. D．Changes in life stages.
5．What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A．The increasing popularity of souvenirs. B．The psychological need for souvenirs.
C．The importance of modern tourism. D．The memories tourism brings back.
6．What is the consequence of the negative cycle in paragraph 3
A．Tourism becomes more profitable. B．Local sellers gain long-term benefits.
C．Traditional handicrafts lose the market. D．Souvenir design becomes standardized.
7．What does the author suggest about buying meaningful souvenirs
A．Picking timeless common designs. B．Following your own shopping habits.
C．Choosing intention over convenience. D．Weighing possession over remembrance.
C
The danger of a major solar storm is now at its highest in over a decade. As the Sun reaches the peak of its activity cycle, the odds of such a storm hitting Earth rise along with its associated risks, including blackouts, disabled satellites and damaged cell phones and GPS networks. In the most extreme situations, some power grids could be knocked out for weeks or even months.
But that is the worst case. In the face of such potential disaster, our best hope is to learn more about the Sun-Earth system, monitor solar activity and develop our ability to predict space weather. With the right precautions (预防措施), solar activity could be a net positive for humanity, as it constantly protects us against harmful radiation from beyond the Solar System. So whether we risk the dangers or reap the benefits of living with the Sun will come down to the same thing: our ability to predict and prepare for what our star is going to do next.
The whole prediction process is like forecasting normal weather. The more you understand the system, the better you can predict what it will do. This is no easy task when it comes to our star. The Sun is complex and not yet well understood, and scientists must also get a better handle on how its emissions travel through space and affect pared to forecasting the normal weather, our space weather predictions are about 50 years behind.
That’s why missions like the Parker Solar Probe — the first spacecraft ever to touch the Sun — are all the more important. Launched in 2018, Parker has already made several discoveries about how the Sun transports energy outward into space. The spacecraft’s data have helped scientists improve their ability to predict exactly when an event at the Sun will later reach Earth. Establishing that timing is important, because it’s an essential first step to an early warning system that would help avoid the worst situation.
Yet our current projects are not enough. Parker is not designed to act as a full-time warning system, and it can only study the Sun from one angle at a time. So a group of satellites around the Sun are recommended to completely monitor the Sun and always be ready to send warnings back to Earth.
8．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “reap”
A．Obtain. B．Exclude. C．Strengthen. D．Tolerate.
9．Which of the following is mentioned in paragraph 2
A．The solar system releases a lot of harmful radiation to humanity.
B．People must learn more to stop the worst result caused by the Sun.
C．Solar activity, if dealt with properly, can be very beneficial to humanity.
D．The potential disaster can be prevented if we make accurate prediction.
10．What is the main message conveyed in the passage
A．Improving space weather predictions is crucial for preparedness.
B．The Sun’s energy transport mechanisms have been understood.
C．The frequency of solar storms has significantly increased over the past decade.
D．A full-time warning system is the only solution to preventing solar storm impacts.
11．What will the following paragraphs probably talk about
A．The sunny sides of space weather and solar activity.
B．The drawback of the current solar prediction projects.
C．The ways to protect the Earth from potential solar storms.
D．The measures to improve and redesign the Parker Solar Probe.

Tuan Pham, a 47-year-old man, was feeling strong as he approached the 12-mile mark of the Long Beach Half Marathon. It was his seventh race, and he looked forward to celebrating at the finish line with his teenage son, who had run ahead. Suddenly, after taking another step or two, he collapsed, his memory cutting off entirely. He lay motionless on the ground, his heart having stopped completely.
He had no pulse and wasn’t breathing. Three blocked arteries (动脉) had caused a sudden cardiac arrest (心脏骤停) , leaving him clinically dead. According to the American Heart Association, the survival rate for an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is less than 12%. Pham’s situation seemed hopeless, and his only chance relied on a miracle — like a heart doctor happening to be nearby.
At that very moment, Dr. Ryan Chiu, a heart doctor from a nearby hospital, happened to be just a few feet away. He had finished a meal and was leaving a restaurant when his friend asked him to stay a few minutes for the ocean view. This small delay proved to be fateful. Seeing Pham fall, Dr. Chiu rushed over, recognized the emergency, and immediately began performing chest compressions.
Dr. Chiu handled the crisis well. He asked a bystander to continue compressions while calling his hospital to prepare an operating room. Soon, an ambulance took Pham to the hospital, with Dr. Chiu driving behind. The surgery to clear the blocked arteries was a total success. Pham not only survived but fully recovered — he even planned to return to finish the last two miles.
Reflecting on the incredible series of events, Pham was filled with amazement. “I can’t believe the first guy to see me fall and give me help was a cardiac surgeon,” he said. “What are the odds ” It was the perfect timing — a friend’s casual suggestion, the surgeon’s delayed leave, and his immediate presence — that turned a near tragedy into a miraculous survival story.
12．What happened to Tuan Pham during the marathon
A．He fell and got his leg injured. B．He lost his memory after the race.
C．He suffered a sudden heart failure. D．He felt too tired to finish the last two miles.
13．Why does the author mention “less than 12%” in paragraph 2
A．To stress the urgency of Pham’s situation. B．To show the commonness of heart diseases.
C．To explain the importance of daily exercise. D．To criticize the slow response of ambulances.
14．What directly caused Dr. Chiu to be at the scene at the right time
A．He was following the ambulance. B．He was participating in the marathon.
C．A friend asked him to stay to see the view. D．A bystander called him for immediate help.
15．What is the best title for the passage
A．A Desperate Race. B．A Timely Rescue.
C．A Surgeon’s Quick Aid. D．A Marathon Misfortune.

The Science of First Impressions
We’ve all heard the saying, “You never get a second chance to make a first impression.” But what exactly goes into that instant judgment Psychological research shows that people form first impressions within the first seven seconds of meeting someone. 16 They are assessing your friendliness, confidence, and trustworthiness largely through nonverbal cues.
Body language plays a surprisingly large role. Approximately 55% of a first impression is based on appearance and body language. This includes your posture, eye contact, and handshake. 17 A firm (but not crushing) handshake, for instance, is universally associated with confidence and competence.
Another 38% comes from your tone of voice. 18 Speaking too quickly can make you seem nervous, while a steady, clear tone suggests authority and calm. The remaining 7% That’s the actual words you say. 19
The tricky part is that these impressions, once formed, are remarkably persistent due to a cognitive bias called the “halo effect.” 20 So, if you are initially seen as warm and competent, people are more likely to interpret your future actions positively. While first impressions aren’t everything, understanding the science behind them can help us present our best selves in important situations.
A．This means our initial judgment of a person influences how we view their later behavior.
B．Smiling genuinely is one of the simplest and most powerful signals of warmth.
C．In fact, during this brief window, your brain is working at lightning speed.
D．It’s not what you say, but how you say it that initially matters most.
E．Therefore, mastering small talk is the key to professional success.
F．So, in a job interview, your qualifications on paper matter less than you think.
G．It’s startling (令人吃惊的) how little your specific content contributes at the very beginning.

Along the southern edge of the Maowusu Desert, an apple harvest is in full swing. Farmers move through trees, their baskets filling with fruit that shines in the warm autumn light. It’s 36 scene of abundance (丰盛) that would have been unthinkable just twenty years ago. The transformation is part of a quiet agricultural revolution—the northward march of Shaanxi’s apple belt, extending hundreds of kilometers into 37 was once an unyielding desert.
Shaanxi’s traditional apple-growing areas were concentrated in the area north of the Weihe River. In recent years, the planting zone 38 (expand) northward all the way to the Maowusu Desert, which means one in every four apples 39 (harvest) in China now comes from Shaanxi.

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。
Jake was 12, and words had always been his worst enemy. In class, he stuttered (口吃) over sentences when called on; his worksheets came back covered in red marks for misspellings. The joking was constant — kids called him “slow” or “stupid” in the hallway.
Jake stopped trying to keep up, skipping homework after school. His only escape was taking apart old toy cars and remote controls, then putting them back together — sometimes even better than before. It was the only thing that made him feel smart, even if no one else noticed.
One afternoon, as he sat on the sidewalk outside his school, fixing a neighbor’s broken drone, a voice interrupted his focus. “That’s some impressive work you’ve got there.”
Jake looked up to see Mrs. Henderson, the fifth-grade teacher who lived next to the school. He tensed up, ready to grab the drone and run — he didn’t need another person to laugh at him. But Mrs. Henderson sat down beside him, her eyes soft, and asked him to explain how he’d fixed the drone’s motor.
For the first time in years, Jake talked without feeling self-conscious. He chatted about how he could “feel” what was wrong with a machine just by touching it. Mrs. Henderson listened carefully, nodding along, then she smiled. “You’re not a slow learner, Jake,” she said. “You’re a different kind of learner. Your gift is in your hands — you’re a born engineer.”
She told him about the regional robotics competition in three months, where teams built robots to complete tasks. Jake shook his head immediately. “I can’t,” he said. “I can’t read the rules, and I’ll let the team down.”
But Mrs. Henderson refused to let him quit. She offered to read the competition guidelines aloud to him, translating the technical jargon (行话) into simple terms. She talked the school into letting him use the science lab after hours to build his robot. And she even recruited (招募) two classmates — Mia, who loved coding, and Leo, who was good at building structures — to join his team.
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。

Among all the scientists, I admire Yuan Longping the most. He was born in 1930 and passed away in 2021, known as the “Father of Hybrid Rice.”
Yuan Longping dedicated his life to agricultural research. His groundbreaking work led to the development of hybrid rice, which has helped feed millions of people not only in China but also around the world. This incredible achievement has significantly contributed to solving food shortages globally.
Yuan Longping showed that with determination and hard work, we can overcome challenges and make a real difference in the world.
47．
The road to the competition was filled with obstacles. But the three partners encouraged each other to keep going. When Leo felt down because of the high pressure, Jake and Mia comforted him with the belief that they were sure to succeed. And they made every effort to do their part. For example, Jake spent a whole night figuring out the guidelines. It was the spirit of never giving up that pushed them to be a good team.
When the final scores were announced, the room went quiet. The moment they heard their team’s name, they jumped into the air with excitement. Their hard work eventually paid off. They screamed and hugged each other tightly. Their teacher Mrs. Henderson walked towards them, wearing a shining smile. “Congratulations! You make our school proud!” she said. “Thank you, Mrs. Henderson,” said Jake, still out of breath. “You believed in us and kept encouraging us. Thank you for everything you’ve done.”
