We were sailing on a white boat through the clear waters of Turks and Caicos. The view was so beautiful that even my teenage daughter, Kavya, paused her usual rudeness to admire the scenery and breathe in the salty air.
Instead of relaxing by the pools, we had spent the previous day training for our big scuba (潜水) trip. We took a course with written tests and did two exhausting pool practices. Now, the moment had arrived. Our instructor was about to place the helmets (头盔) on our heads. I took a deep breath. This
was it — my chance to connect with Kavya through a new experience, something we could finally share.
But suddenly, Kavya pulled my arm. Her face showed the same worried look she had during math homework. I could sense her emotions tightening under her diving suit. Just as the instructor approached, she whispered, “Dad, can I quit ” The waves sounded louder, the gear (设备) heavier. Surprisingly, I didn’t say what I normally would: “Quitting is not an option!” I even stopped myself from thinking, “But this was my plan.” Trying to give her a gentle hug in the heavy gear only resulted in me splashing water all over her and making us both laugh awkwardly.
When she was little, connecting with Kavya was effortless. I knew everything about her, and she always joined my adventures with pure excitement. But as she grew older, she discovered her own interests, drifting away from mine. What followed were sighs, eye - rolls, and half - hearted “I guess so” replies. I had hoped this scuba course would bring us closer again. I didn’t expect her quitting to hit me so hard or so suddenly.
Even without the dive, we enjoyed our vacation. We swam, collected seashells, and played word games. In those slow, quiet moments, I realized joy isn’t only in big adventures. It wasn’t the moment of closeness I had imagined — but it turned out to be exactly the one we needed.
24. Why did the author train hard for the diving trip
A. To impress the instructor. B. To relax in natural beauty.
C. To grow closer to his daughter. D. To challenge himself physically.
25. Which of the following best describes the author according to paragraph 3
A. Strict and determined. B. Insightful and inspiring. C. Resourceful and encouraging. D. Thoughtful and understanding.
26. Which could be a suggestion from the author to parents of teenagers
A. Be adaptive. B. Be courageous. C. Be protective. D. Be adventurous.
27. What key message is expressed in the story
A. Nature helps to bridge generation gaps. B. Bonding happens naturally in shared moments.
C. Scheduled adventures ruin true happiness. D. Connections rely heavily on thoughtful planning.
C
A team led by the University of Cambridge have engineered a solar - powered “artificial leaf” that
could eventually help this vital industry move away from fossil fuels. Their breakthrough involves a new device that brings together light - absorbing organic polymers and bacterial enzymes (酶) to transform sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into formate, a clean fuel that can power additional chemical reactions.
This “artificial leaf” copies photosynthesis (光合作用), the natural process plants use to turn sunlight into energy and operates entirely on its own power. Unlike previous designs that relied on poisonous or unstable light absorbers, this new model uses non - poisonous materials, runs more efficiently, and remains stable without extra additives. This marks the first instance where these non - poisonous materials have served as the light - catching component in such a bio - hybrid system, preparing for a new generation of eco - friendly artificial leaves.
The chemical industry remains a cornerstone of the global economy, producing a vast range of goods — from medicines to plastics, paints, electronics, and cleaning agents. “If we’re going to build a cyclic, sustainable economy, the chemical industry is a big, complex problem that we must address,” said Professor Erwin Reisner from the University of Cambridge’s Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry, who led the research.
Tests showed the artificial leaf produced high currents and achieved near - perfect efficiency in directing electrons into fuel - making reactions. The device successfully ran for over 24 hours: more than twice as long as previous designs. The researchers are hoping to further develop their designs to extend the service life of the device and adapt it so it can produce different types of chemical products.
“We’ve shown it’s possible to create solar - powered devices that are not only efficient and durable but also free from poisonous or unsustainable components,” said Reisner. “This could be a fundamental platform for producing green fuels and chemicals in future — it’s a real opportunity to do some exciting and important chemistry.”
28. What is the main purpose of the artificial leaf described in paragraph 1
A. To produce clean fuel. B. To create new materials.
C. To cut carbon emissions. D. To absorb more sunlight.
29. What makes the artificial leaf different from earlier designs
A It depends on costly and rare additives.
B. It combines natural and artificial materials.
C. It produces electricity and chemical fuels.
D. It relies on safer and more efficient materials.
30. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. The devices are still lack of efficiency. B. The potential is limited to lab applications. C. The technology might have a bright future. D. The material choice may be a major concern.
31. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Materials from the Plants Leaf B. Solar Leaf for Green Chemistry
C. Fossil Fuels in Chemical Industry D. Sustainable Challenges in Economy
D
Have you ever wondered why certain songs or paintings feel deeply satisfying Language expert Jay Keyser's research finds that repetition makes art speak to us.
Artists like jazz musician Duke Ellington and painter Andy Warhol purposefully use repetition — not simply as copying, but as a clever "same, but different" skill. In Ellington's Satin Doll, for example, the rhythm repeats while the notes stay high or low, and the song's words mirror this pattern. Warhol's soup cans appear alike at first sight, yet each design changes a little. This skill called "same/except" by Jay Keyser in his book Play it again, Sam — makes art feel richer and more pleasant to our brains.
Interestingly, discovering repetition brings much more. Consider a photograph of the US city of Albuquerque that is often discussed for its meaning. Look closer, and you may find that a dog sits in the center with a street sign shadow to its right copying its shape. Recognizing this hidden pattern, as Keyser suggests, repays us with unexpected pleasure and more. Training our eyes to notice such patterns — whether in poetry, paintings or songs — unlocks new meaning.
Why does repetition create such a connection According to Keyser, science offers an answer: the mere exposure effect. Just as a baby grows fond of a mother's face through repeated sights, we naturally develop a liking for familiar patterns. Advertisers use this by repeating product names to build trust. Artists harness it too — Warhol's repeated cans or a song's repeated catchy parts make us feel comforted and connected.
Keyser shows great art works with the brain's makeup. When artists repeat certain parts with changes, the art is in line with how our minds seek order, expect patterns, and gain joy from "finding" connections — though we are not aware of it. By studying how artists skillfully apply the "same/except" skill across mediums, and by connecting these choices with science, we gain the key to admiring creativity's universal magic. This makes everyday experiences with music, paintings, and words much richer.
32. What does the "same/except" skill focus on
A. Non - traditional artistic styles. B. Combining different art forms.
C. Repetition with slight variations. D. Breaking all patterns completely.
33. What does the example of the Albuquerque photo highlight
A. Fun designs attract more attention.
B. Admiring street art lifts one's spirits.
C. Repetition enriches art experiences.
D. Famous art deserves lasting discussion.
34. What does the underlined word "harness" in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Take advantage of. B. Turn down.
C. Have control of. D. Make out.
35. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us
A. Art sometimes matches our mindset.
B. Science explains artistic techniques.
C. Artists use repetition unconsciously.
D. Creativity is the key to admiring art.

When Marie Benton first moved to London in 2008, joining a choir (合唱团) helped her fit in the new environment. 36 With her tireless efforts, the Choir with No Name (TCWNN) was officially born.
The link between homelessness and mental illness has been widely documented. Clearly, the challenges facing people experiencing homelessness extend beyond finding shelter. 37 Fortunately, according to its most recent annual member survey, 88% saw mental health improvements after they joined the choirs.
38 They are experiencing homelessness among some of the most isolated in our communities. "Our choirs aim to be the opposite of that experience, where everyone is seen and heard, and where they can leave their troubles at the door and have fun!" says its chief executive Dr Kate Warehouse.
Not only is everyone welcome, but they also benefit from support that they may not find elsewhere. "Our choir directors are experts in teaching group singing in a way that ensures everyone is supported to flourish, both personally and musically," says Dr Warehouse. " 39 Better still, they encourage them to take the leap and sing a solo."
Jane, who has been singing in the Liverpool choir since 2015, says her life has been transformed. In the early days when she was living in a hostel, she had withdrawn into herself. But weekly choir rehearsals offered her a routine among the chaos, which provided hope during dark times. From her perspective, if her life was a ladder, coming to choir was the start of her climbing up that ladder. 40
A. Nevertheless, getting people through the door can be a struggle.
B. They are also likely to experience poor physical and mental health.
C. Mental health concerns are common among a wide range of countries.
D. Those directors understand how group singing can build confidence over time.
E. Slowly but surely, she got to where she is today — a confident and outgoing person.
F. Inspired, she decided to start one to provide comfort and confidence to those in need.
G. Consequently, she worked with those who are less confident to help them find their voice.

At the northern tip of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, 56 China meets Russia, Mongolia and Kazakhstan, lies Altay prefecture (阿勒泰地区), a region 57 (bless) with dramatic landscapes and rich culture. 58 (rough) the size of Cuba, it stretches from snowy mountaintops over 4,000 meters high to lowlands just 246 meters above sea level. A short coach trip can take you from glaciers to desert, even past herds of wild animals.
During my recent trip, I couldn't take my eyes off the view. As the coach 59 (wind) through valleys, silver peaks shone in the distance while the green of birch forests filled the foreground. It looked like the Alps, 60 this wasn't Europe. A blue river rushed beside us, matching our speed, its power reminding me how rarely I feel nature's strength in the city.
Across the hills stand yurts (圆顶帐篷) of Kazakh herders, their animals 61 (wander) freely. The night before, I experienced throat singing for the first time — a sound that seemed very 62 (fascinate).
As we descended, the green grasslands slowly gave way to bright yellow desert. The 63 (vast) felt like stepping into a fantasy game, except that this was real. When the other passengers awoke, unaware of what they had missed, I sat amazed, lost 64 words to describe the scene I had just witnessed. If only I 65 (bring) my camera with me!

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。
When I landed in a small town in New Zealand as an exchange student, I thought I was ready for everything — new faces, language barriers, strange social patterns and even homesickness. Still, the smallest things made me feel out of place.
Luckily, the Wilsons, my host family, did everything they could to help me settle in — driving me around, sharing meals, and even letting me use their kitchen when. I missed Chinese food. With their warmth and support, everything seemed to fall into place.
But at school, small moments felt bigger than I'd imagined. In our first literature class, we discussed a Hemingway story. Everyone jumped in actively, while I struggled to speak up. My desk-mate encouraged me, "Next time, just speak up." I nodded, forcing a bitter smile.
And just like that, I found myself in another cultural trap, Mrs. Wilson's birthday dinner. At the table, I answered politely but kept mostly to myself. Mrs. Wilson noticed my silence and gently asked, "You alright, sweet girl You're so quiet tonight." My face reddened. Was my silence seen as cold, rather than polite
That night, restless and wide awake, I wondered if I needed to laugh louder, speak faster; or hide parts of myself just to feel I belonged. Questions flooded my mind, none with answers.
A few days later, our teacher announced there would be a Culture Festival next week. "You'll prepare a stand to share your own culture — food, crafts, customs... anything meaningful. You can not only display your culture but also make it interactive, allowing people to try new things, learn traditional skills. or share stories and cultural symbols," she said. The class lit up with excitement. I sat frozen, mind racing: how could I share my traditions in English The thought made my stomach twisted. Yet, I gathered myself with a deep breath and signed up. After that, I threw myself wholeheartedly into preparations, until the day finally came.
注意：
1.续写词数应为 150 个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
At the Culture Festival, I stood behind my stand, nervous but ready. ________
From that day on, my world here started to change. ________

Dear Mr. Smith,
I'm Li Hua. I'm writing to seek your guidance on the upcoming debate regarding the topic "Housework: A distraction or a lesson for life."
While I'm excited to participate, I find myself uncertain about two main aspects. First, I'd appreciate your advice on how to fully understand the core of this issue — specifically, whether housework serves as a "distraction" that hinders academic focus, or rather, a valuable "life lesson" that fosters responsibility and life skills. Second, I wonder if you could share some debating techniques—particularly how to present my views with clarity and persuasion and respond effectively to opposing arguments.
Thank you very much for your time. Any advice you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
Yours,
Li Hua

At the Culture Festival, I stood behind my stand, nervous but ready. Taking a deep breath, I once again neatly arranged all the well - prepared items: red paper and scissors. Soon, students and teachers gathered, curiosity in their eyes. I welcomed them with a smile and demonstrated: fold, cut, unfold — and a butterfly spread its wings. A wave of surprise rippled through the crowd. Encouraged, I invited a boy to try; his star turned out uneven, yet drew laughter and applause. More joined eagerly, and I moved among them, guiding their hands, praising their efforts and celebrating each creation. When a teacher proudly held up her paper flower, the cheers grew louder. Red pieces fell to the floor, and my confidence, once hidden, shone through every new pattern.
From that day on, my world here started to change. In the hallway, students waved butterflies from my stand and greeted me with bright “Ni hao!” My heart lifted as I waved back. In literature class, I gave voice to my ideas with newfound confidence. My English was not flawless, yet my voice was steady, and instead of silence I saw nods and smiles. After class, classmates often surrounded me and asked, “Can you show us more about your culture ” Their words lingered in my heart, echoing like a gentle reminder. In that echo, I realized I had not only broken free from cultural shock but also found my place in a shared story — one written by many voices, yet open enough to hold my own.

1. 【原文】M: What are you up to
W: Checking my college application form. I’ve finally come to a decision about what to study in college.
M: Is engineering still your top choice
W: Yeah. I was thinking of studying computer science, but I decided against it in the end.
2. 【原文】W: May I help you, sir
M: Yes, I’m looking to replace my old laptop bag. I go on a lot of business trips, so I’m looking for something with wheels.
3.【原文】W: When will you be arriving, Mr. Baranski
M: Let me see. It’s Monday today, so on Thursday, the 16th of May.
W: And how long will you be staying
M: Two nights, leaving on Saturday.
4. 【原文】M: I’m leaving next week for the trip and I still don’t know what to do with my Cooper.
W: Well, you know I am sensitive to animals so I can’t help. Hey! I just remembered I have a friend that has a pet hotel.
M: I guess I can do that.
5. 【原文】M: You look stressed. Is there something wrong
W: I've been trying to delete a table from my report but every time I do, it ruins the file format.
M: I'll fix it for you, if you agree to help me with the shopping later.
第6段材料
【原文】M: Hi Barbara, how's the new house
W: We still have to decorate the living room and the bedrooms, but that's because I spent the last two
months working outside, planting flowers and trees trying to make it look beautiful. You know me, I'll
never be inside if I can be out in the fresh air.
M: I bet you miss all the conveniences of the city, don't you
W: Not really. I like living in a village.
M: I hope Brian shares your views and isn't missing city life too much.
第7段材料
【原文】W: Mike, did you notice the slow service tonight It's unusually crowded.
M: Yeah. Our orders took forever to arrive, and they got mine wrong.
W: Same here. And the waitstaff seem busy and understaffed. I saw a few tables complaining about their
orders too. I think we should talk to the manager before leaving.
M: Definitely. This level of service isn't acceptable for such a reputable restaurant.
W: Let's do that. Maybe they can improve service for future diners. And it could help them understand
what went wrong tonight.
M: Good idea. I'll ask for the manager once we finish our meal.
W: It's important to address these issues constructively rather than just leaving without saying anything.
M: Absolutely, Amanda.
第8段材料
【原文】W: I've just seen Mel. She was telling me about that qualification she's doing. It's something
about life coaching, isn't it
M: That's right. She'll be great at it. You know how many times she has helped us with our problems
W: Is that all life coaching means
M: Well, life coaches show their clients how to adopt new approaches or new routines, and this enables
them to make permanent changes. It's about much more than analyzing a specific problem and fixing it.
W: You sound like Mel! I'm still lost, though.
M: Look, take something you're always complaining about. Like, having to do chores around the house.
A life coach would help you address this by helping you change your attitude to doing the chores in the first place. By working on your mindset, that will help you go forward.
W: Oh, that makes sense. Mel would be brilliant at that.

【原文】W: Trent, how did you get into mountain climbing
M: Many people start climbing because they've watched a television documentary about climbing a mountain and a good friend enjoyed reading the biography of a famous climber. My experience was more unusual, though. When I was nine, I started at a new school where there was an amazing artwork on the wall. It showed some snow - covered mountains and I thought, I want to climb those!
W: You climbed your first big mountain when you were ten. How did you feel beforehand
M: I was convinced I'd be really nervous before we set off, but the opposite was actually true, which I couldn't quite believe. I went with very experienced climbers whom I trusted.
W: You decided to climb the highest peak on each of the seven continents. Why was that
M: My grandfather became ill and there wasn't much financial support for scientists trying to find a cure, so I asked people to sponsor me to climb the seven peaks. I became the youngest person ever to climb them, though that wasn't my reason for doing it.

【原文】M: Hi, my talk today's about an invention, the modern car seat belt.
The inventor of the modern car seat belt was a Swedish man called Nils Bohlin. Bohlin had trained as a mechanical engineer at college before gaining his first employment as an aircraft designer. He did well, so was invited to join a car manufacturing company as a safety engineer.
Bohlin had often worked on improving seats and seat belts for planes since starting his working life in 1942. After joining the car manufacturer in 1958, he spent the following 12 months developing his ideas for cars, and then a car featuring Bohlin's creation on both front seats was introduced, making it the earliest example of a vehicle with modern seat belts.
However, it took many years for them to become widely accepted. Japan made it a rule that everyone must wear seat belts in their cars across the whole country in 1971. A year earlier, two of the six states in Australia had introduced similar rules. France was the first European nation to create seat belt laws several years later. It's incredible to think that some investment in research and development in the manufacturing industry has had such a huge global impact.
