I was born in 2010 in the countryside, which may be why I always felt a little out of step with the times. Throughout my childhood, I had never seen tall buildings or had a smartphone. The old computer we had at home was my only window to the online world, which I began exploring at the age of 8. My parents were busy during the day, so surfing the internet was a big deal for me. Ialways turned off the computer before they got home to let it cool down and hide what I had been doing all day.
I feel like the online vibe was much more inclusive back then. I still remember the friendly debates about the various adaptations of Legends of the Condor Heroes. Everyone would share their thoughts and reasons. Just the other day, I saw a similar question on Xiaohongshu, but the discussion quickly turned into heated arguments. Back then, sharing resources for online novels or gaming strategies was common, but now, such requests can easily trigger online debates.
My parents loved playing Stephen Chow movies at home, which turned me into a belated fan of these classic 1990s Hong Kong comedies. At the core of his humor lies tragedy, yet his films also taught me simple values: be brave, be resilient, stay optimistic, and never give up on your dreams. To me, Stephen Chow feels like an old friend I' ve known for years——a forever-young legend. I wish I had been born earlier, in that golden era.
I'd describe myself as a severe nostalgia (怀旧) addict, especially when it comes to 90s architecture. Just looking at images of those buildings or walking near them brings me a sense of comfort. Though they' ve become relics of the past, nothing is truly forgotten.
24. What can be inferred about the author's childhood from the first paragraph
A. He had no idea about the online world. B. His life kept pace with the times.
C. His parents were too busy to look after him. D. He had limited access to the internet.
25. What does the author mean by saying“the online vibe was much more inclusive back then”
A. More people were willing to share. B. It is easier to reach an agreement.
C. Different viewpoints could be respected. D. There were more online platforms.
26. What does the author think of Stephen Chow's films
A. They only appeal to young people. B. They are tragedies with subtle humor.
C. They are difficult to understand today. D. They combine humor with deep meaning.
27. Which of the following best describes the author's overall tone in the passage
A. Hopeful. B. Emotional. C. Humorous. D. Critical.
C
When you' re learning a new language, there are a lot of things to remember: spelling rules,grammar rules, punctuation rules... the list is endless. But there's something that can help you:mnemonics [pronounced“nemonics”].
Mnemonics are techniques to help you remember things. There are a variety of them,including rhymes, spelling acronyms and sentence mnemonics.
Rhymes are a great way to remember things. The sounds, unusual words and rhythm of them help you recall ideas. Do you know when Columbus sailed to America There's a rhyme to help you which goes like this,“In fourteen-hundred and ninety-two, Columbus sailed the ocean blue.”Most people who' ve heard that never forget it!
Spelling acronyms involve creating a sentence based on the letters of a target word. For example, the following sentence can help you with the spelling of the word“because”,“Big elephants can always understand small elephants”. Notice how the first letter of each word in the sentence spells out the word“because”. And if you can't remember the spelling of the word“mnemonics”, use this one“Mike never eats meat or nuts in case he's sick”!
Sentence mnemonics are also useful. The following can help you with the difference between the words“principal” and“principle”,“A principal is your pal at school, and a principle is a belief or rule.” Or this one to help you remember the difference in spelling between“deserts”(such as the Sahara) and“desserts”(such as Tiramisu),“A dessert has two sugars so it's sweeter, but a desert only has one.”[The two“sugars” mentioned in the sentence refer to the two s's in the word“dessert”.]
You can learn grammar rules with sentence mnemonics too. For example, this one can help you with the position of adjectives,“Adjectives come before nouns just as‘A’ comes before‘N’.”And this one can help you learn about the use of apostrophes(撇号),“Apostrophes show possession.”
Mnemonics can help a lot with language learning. Why not try inventing a few of your own!
28. What are mnemonics in the passage
A. Professional tool books. B. Specific language model.
C. Language learning strategies. D. Different language rules.
29. Why is the rhyme about Columbus mentioned in paragraph 3
A. To compare rhymes with other techniques.
B. To show how rhymes make facts memorable.
C. To prove that Columbus was a great explorer.
D. To explain the importance of historical events.
30. Which of the following is an example of a sentence mnemonic
A.“In 1066, the Normans did fix” rhymes the year of the Norman Conquest.
B.“George’ s elderly old grandfather rode a pig home yesterday” helps spell“geography”.
C.“My very educated mother just served us noodles” helps remember the order of planets.
D.“A stationery store sells paper, while a stationary car doesn't move” differentiates words.
31. Which of the following would the author probably agree with about inventing mnemonics
A. It requires special training. B. It does not take much time or effort.
C. It is something readers can try themselves. D. Language teachers should use it in class.
D
Woodpeckers(啄木鸟) operate at an extreme level, boring through solid wood with forces more than 30 times their own weight and drilling up to 13 times a second, How do they never miss a beat while head banging so hard
It turns out that the birds tense up their entire body to smash through wood, letting out short,explosive grunts with each strike, report Brown University biologist Nicholas Antonson and his colleagues in the Journal of Experimental Biology.“Woodpeckers really are nature's hammer in a sense,” Antonson says.
To study how the birds tap, the researchers first humanely captured eight wild DownyWoodpeckers and carefully inserted electrodes into their muscles in the laboratory. The electrodes fed into a tiny, fitted backpack that recorded electrical signals from contracting muscles as the birds pecked. They also checked whether the woodpeckers held their breath during exertion (用力)(like weight lifters tend to do) or exhaled (呼气)(like tennis players) while striking the wood by examining airflow through the birds’ air sacs——— small, balloon-like structures that help them breathe in and out. By matching these measurements with high-speed videos, the scientists tracked the woodpeckers' taps down to every four milliseconds.
Instead of using a single muscle to control the action, woodpeckers activated“every muscle from the head to the tail,” Antonson says. The birds used their powerful hip flexors to push forward,clenched their tail and abs(腹肌) to prepare for the strike, and stiffened the back of their head and neck on contact————— similar to the way you might stiffen the back of your wrist when you hammer a nail. They then engaged a different set of hip and neck muscles to draw back.
The birds also perfectly paired their pecks with sharp exhalations“as another means of stabilizing their core muscles and powering through those strikes,” Antonson explains.“To be able to breathe out 13 times per second and inhale on the order of 40 milliseconds is really impressive.”Songbirds, which aren't closely related to woodpeckers, are the only other birds known to so precisely time their breaths, which they do as they sing.

On Aug. 15, after 119 days, Johnson arrived at the Atlantic Ocean. No one was more 54 than Johnson that she had completed what she’ d started, while raising $50,000 for Wings for Life.

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。
It was a bitterly cold, snow-choked Christmas Eve when Yvonne White got a call from an unknown number. A strange, calm voice on the other end of the line said,“Hi. You don't know me,but I have your brother.” It was Aughtry, a woman who would soon become the lifeline forYvonne's brother, Joey——a gentle, mentally disabled man with a deep love for baseball and a lifelong routine as a cinema caretaker.
Days earlier, as the worst winter storm in decades bore down, Yvonne had repeatedly warnedJoey not to leave his group home. He’ d promised to stay put, but the familiar pull of his routine proved too strong. He wandered out into the rapidly worsening white-out, heading toward the cinema where he'd worked for over twenty years, only to get lost within blocks. Hours later, he collapsed exhausted in a snowbank, his cries of pain cutting through the howling wind.
Aughtry, a mother of three, heard his screams from inside her home. Without hesitation, she and her son braved the blinding storm, following the sound until they found Joey, half-frozen and barely conscious, his hands already swollen with severe frostbite. They carried him inside,carefully peeled off his ice-caked clothes, and spent hours warming him with a hair dryer and blankets, his body still trembling violently. Joey, in his delirium(精神错乱), was surprisingly able to recite Yvonne's phone number from memory. When Aughtry finally reached her, Yvonne could only listen in terror, trapped indoors by the impassable snow and ice outside.
For the following two days, Aughtry and her family provided continuous care for Joey, but it was just getting worse and worse. They made several urgent calls to emergency services, describing the severity of his condition. Each time, they were told that all major roads were blocked, covered by a thick layer of ice, making it impossible for emergency vehicles to navigate the area. Assistance was nowhere to be found.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Paragraph1: Desperate, Aughtry turned to social media for help.
Paragraph2: When Yvonne finally reached the hospital, she found Joey chatting with Aughtry.

One possible version:
Version 1
My Views on Fragmented Reading
Nowadays, fragmented reading— scrolling through short videos or browsing brief articles— has become increasingly popular in my opinion, this trend has both advantages and disadvantages.
On the positive side, fragmented reading saves time and allows us to acquire information quickly in our busy schedules. With just a smartphone, we can access diverse knowledge anytime,anywhere. However, the drawbacks are equally obvious. Constant exposure to short, scattered content weakens our ability to focus and think deeply. We may become accustomed to superficial understanding rather than genuine comprehension.
Personally, I believe fragmented reading should serve as a supplement, not a substitute, for traditional in-depth reading. While it satisfies our need for quick information, we should also reserve time for reading books that require sustained attention and reflection.
Version 2
My Views on Fragmented Reading
Fragmented reading, characterized by scrolling through short videos and brief articles,dominates our daily lives. From my perspective, though convenient, this reading style does more harm than good.
Admittedly, fragmented reading offers efficiency. We can grasp news highlights or learn practical tips within minutes. Yet the problems cannot be ignored. Firstly, it fragments our attention span, making it increasingly difficult to concentrate on longer texts. Secondly, the information obtained is often shallow and disconnected, failing to build a systematic knowledge structure.
Therefore, my attitude is clear: while we may occasionally benefit from fragmented reading for quick updates, we should prioritize deep reading of complete works. Only by immersing ourselves in books can we truly develop critical thinking and gain profound insights. Let's not sacrifice depth for speed.

One possible version:
Desperate, Aughtry turned to social media for help. She posted a live video online, detailingJoey's dangerous condition and her exact address, adding that she had exhausted all options for getting medical help.“I'm asking for help from whoever,” she continued,“This man needs serious help.” Before long, the message spread rapidly among nearby neighbors, who were deeply concerned and rushed to help without hesitation. Some showed up to plow around Aughtry's home.Others with private vehicles volunteered to brave the fierce snowstorm. With great care and patience, the warm-hearted neighbors gently lifted him into the car and headed slowly but steadily toward the nearest hospital, fighting against the strong wind and heavy snow.
When Yvonne finally reached the hospital, she found Joey chatting with Aughtry. Yvonne was overwhelmed with relief and appreciation that her big brother was safe and sound. Without a word,she embraced Aughtry tightly. The woman returned the hug firmly, her hands gentle but steady.Yvonne's voice was thick with emotion as she repeated her thanks. Aughtry smiled softly, saying it was the joint effort of the whole neighborhood. It was far from the holiday she had hoped for, but amid the suffering and misfortune, Yvonne found a silver lining. On that freezing Christmas Eve,the stranger opened up her home and her heart, creating the warmest miracle with a collective effort.

W: Oh, yes, I'm an early bird. I wake up at 6 every day, even though I start work at 9 a. m. Inormally get to bed at 10 p. m. I trv to keep the same schedule on weekends as on weekdays.
M: Why do you wake up so early
W: Because I generally hate feeling rushed, and waking up early prevents that. I usually read the news and catch up on email.
M: Really I never have time for that in the morning. What do you usually have for breakfast
W: I usually have a smoothie first, then I eat a sandwich. What about you
M: I seldom have breakfast at home because I hardly ever have enough time to cook it. Talking about food made me really hungry. Would you like to have dinner with me
W: Yes, I'd love to.

M: Hello everyone, and welcome to the school's weekly news broadcast. I'm your host, Li Ming.Today, we have a positive local story. Last Saturday, our city library started a new program called“The Book Buddy Shelf.” Here's how it works: anyone can buy an extra book when they shop, and then donate it to this special shelf at the library. People who cannot afford to buy books, especially children, can then take these books home for free, no library card needed. The program was a huge success in its first week. The library manager, Ms. Chen, said they received over 200 books.“We are very thankful for evervone's kindness. We' ve got storybooks, science books, and even some cookbooks! It's wonderful to see the community sharing the joy of reading.”
We interviewed a young girl named Xiao Mei at the library. She was holding a new picture book. She said with a big smile,“My mom said we can't buy new books this month. But I found this one here! I'm so happy.”
The“Book Buddy Shelf’ is located near the library's main entrance. The library hopes this program will continue to grow. They remind everyone that the books should be new or in very good condition.
That's the end of today's news. Remember, a small act of kindness can make a big difference.
