Ruchita Sahukari, born with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) (脆骨症), is now pursuing journalism at IIMC from a wheelchair, challenging the odds against her. Despite social cruelty and schools refusing admission, her parents’ powerful backing kept her hope alive. Until 18, she was excluded from basic schooling and felt depressed.
At 18, Ruchita’s life changed when she joined Amrithavarshini, an NGO in Kerala. There, she met others with OI and made friends who inspired her. To bridge the academic gap, she completed the Bachelor Preparatory Programme at IGNOU in 2021 and earned a BA in English Literature in 2023. She then desired to become a journalist and set her sights on IIMC．
Getting into IIMC’s Eastern Regional Campus was one victory; moving around inside it freely was another. In India, where few educational institutions are fully accessible, Ruchita’s arrival motivated the campus to change. The administration built ramps (斜坡), constructed a special room in the ladies’ hostel, and allowed her mother to stay on campus to assist her.
“Supporting Ruchita is a reflection of our core values. Removing barriers nurtures dignity, courage, and the right to dream,” says Dr Anand K Pradhan, Regional Director of IIMC Dhenkanal. Her classmates also created a supportive ecosystem, helping her pursue her dreams.
Ruchita has already published stories, covering often overlooked topics. Her most challenging assignment was the 2025 Bihar elections coverage, but her friends supported her. "They make me feel like nothing is impossible," she says.
This year, Ruchita received the Rare Star Award from ORDI for her advocacy work. She dreams of becoming an advocacy journalist, highlighting policy gaps and accessibility failures. Her message to parents raising children with disabilities is direct: Parents have the responsibility to educate themselves and empower their child. You must trust and empower your child instead of leaving them weak. Change within the family, within the home, is the stepping stone towards bringing social change.
4．What kept Ruchita’s hope alive when she faced difficulties
A．Her own strong will. B．The help from her friends.
C．Her parents’strong support. D．The assistance from the NGO.
5．What did Ruchita do at the age of 18
A．She joined an NGO in Kerala. B．She completed a BA degree.
C．She started to pursue journalism. D．She published some stories.
6．What do we know about IIMC’s Eastern Regional Campus before Ruchita’s arrival
A．It offered no journalism courses.
B．It refused disabled students’ admission.
C．It let parents stay on campus to assist students.
D．It lacked full accessibility for disabled students.
7．Which of the following can best describe Ruchita
A．Pessimistic and self-centered. B．Positive and strong-willed.
C．Ambitious and noble-minded. D．Creative and warm-hearted.
The Welsh government has announced a ban on wet wipes (湿巾) containing plastic, making it the first of the UK nations to do so. All four UK nations had announced an intention to carry out such a ban following a survey in 2023. The new regulation will come into force in December 2026. These products are now banned in Wales alongside other items under the 2023 Act, such as plastic straws, takeaway cups, food containers, and carrier bags.
Wet wipes often enter the natural environment not through direct littering: they are mistakenly flushed (冲)down toilets. The research by Water UK, the water industry's trade association, reveals a key reason behind this. It found that 22% of people admit to flushing wet wipes, even though 88% know they harm the environment. The wet wipes can then cause blockages in the pipes and end up in rivers and seas.
A five-year nationwide monitoring project found an average of 20 wet wipes per 100m of beach, according to DEFRA data. “There should be no place for wet wipes amongst the small stones and the sand and the seaweed on our beautiful Welsh coastline,” said Huw Irranca-Davies, assistant first minister of Wales, when announcing the ban.
It's been shown that faecal bacteria (粪便细菌) stick to wet wipe plastic far better than to natural fibers, creating a health risk for those who come into contact with them. What's more, plastic wet wipes may remain in the environment for as long as 100 years. They eventually break down into tiny particles — microplastics — which cause harm to fish and other sea creatures.
It's worth noting the Welsh ban relates merely to consumer use; it exempts medical-grade wet wipes and does not extend to business-to-business sale or supply.
Does the regulation go far enough Greenpeace doesn't think so. “Bans on specific products, whether they are wet wipes or plastic straws, are a very inefficient way to stop the tide of plastic pollution,” says Laura Burley, plastics campaign lead at Greenpeace UK. “This initiative will hopefully prevent many wipes blocking waterways or ending up in the sea, but the approach takes attention away from the urgent need to phase out single-use plastic entirely.”
8．Why do wet wipes often end up in nature
A．They are not collected by waste trucks. B．They are littered by people intentionally.
C．They are incorrectly washed down the toilets. D．They are dropped on the streets directly.
9．What is the most significant problem caused by using plastic wet wipes
A．Long-term risks to sea life. B．River blockage.
C．Human health threat. D．Recycling difficulties.
10．What does the underlined word "exempts" in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A．Cuts off. B．Puts aside. C．Turns over. D．Leaves out.
11．What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．Plastic wet wipes pollution is under control.
B．The current ban on plastic wet wipes is useless.
C．More efforts should be made to end single-use plastic.
D．Specific product bans are the best way to stop plastic pollution.
Everyone has experienced brain fog after a poor night’s sleep. Now, scientists have identified the precise reason for this unfocused feeling.
During deep sleep, the brain is cleaned. The body clears out cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) (脑脊液) to wash away daily waste. If you do not get enough quality sleep, however, this process can be interrupted and is still incomplete when you get out of bed in the morning. To catch up, the brain attempts this cleaning while we are awake — but with a cost. A new study reveals this leads to temporary lapses (走神) in attention, causing that familiar foggy feeling.
Researchers from MIT tested 26 volunteers after both a night of sleep deprivation (剥夺) and a night of good sleep. They monitored brain activity and tracked CSF flow using scans while participants performed simple attention tasks, such as pressing a button when a shape changed. As expected, sleep-deprived participants performed worse, with slower responses and missed signals. Importantly, researchers observed a clear pattern: just as attention lapsed, CSF was pushed out of the brain. Once attention recovered, the fluid flowed back in.
Professor Laura Lewis explained, “When we’re tired, the brain’s cleaning process — which usually only happens during sleep — can accidentally happen while we’re still awake. This briefly makes it hard to focus.”
The study also found early warning signs: about 12 seconds before a lapse, the pupils (the black centers of their eyes) become smaller. According to researcher Zinong Yang, this shows the brain’s attempt to preserve function. “Because it so needs sleep, it tries to enter a sleep-like state to restore some of its ability.”
In short, that foggy feeling isn’t just tiredness — it’s your brain literally cleaning itself at the wrong time, briefly trading attention for waste removal.
12．What causes brain fog after a bad night’s sleep
A．The brain stops producing CSF temporarily.
B．The brain’s cleaning process occurs when awake.
C．The brain produces lots of waste for lack of sleep.
D．The brain is lacking in oxygen supply.
13．What did MIT researchers find about sleep-deprived volunteers
A．They missed researchers’ signals unknowingly.
B．Their CSF flowed out when attention improved.
C．CSF movement matched their attention changes.
D．Their brain activity was similar to that of good sleepers.
14．What conclusion can we draw from Zinong Yang’s words
A．The brain stops working when tired.
B．The brain tries to adjust when it lacks sleep.
C．Pupil size has vital connection with brain activity.
D．Attention lapses are uncontrollable and harmful.
15．Which of the following would be the best title for the text
A．CSF: The Key Fluid for Brain Health
B．Sleep Deprivation: How It Harms Brain Function
C．MIT Study: Tracking Brain Activity in Volunteers
D．Brain Fog: A Result of Wrong-timed Brain Cleaning

五、书面表达
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。
Kees and Claire Memorial Hut is a three-hour ski hike from Whistler Town. It is a challenging trip for any skier. However, that’s the spot my friend, Andrew — an experienced skier, and I had been dreaming to reach. As an enthusiastic runner, I told Andrew confidently I could get there in one go. He smiled and said, “Remember what you have said.” I looked at him firmly, saying “I will”. But that day, I ignored every nutrition rule of endurance sports (耐力性运动) and dismissed Andrew’s repeated suggestions for a break, determined to make lunch our reward upon arrival.
After skiing for nearly one hour, we reached a fork in the road. Andrew, who had done research on the area, suggested taking the left route, which was gentler but a bit longer. I, eager to reach the destination soon and challenge myself, insisted on the right one, though it looked steeper (陡峭的). We argued fiercely, each sticking to our own idea, the cold air hanging between us.
Finally, I skied along the right one, thinking I would be the first to reach the destination and prove I was right. The snow under my skis was thick and heavy. The route grew steeper by the minute, and the cold wind cut through my jacket, beating my cheeks and making me out of breath. I’d skipped snack breaks and drunk too little water, and soon tiredness washed over me, my muscles burning so badly that I could barely lift my legs.
What’s worse, a wave of dizziness came over me. I tripped and fell down. I tried to get up but found my arms too weak to support my body. At that moment, all my confidence disappeared, replaced by a strong feeling of regret and fear; I realized how foolish I had been to ignore Andrew’s advice, and how far I was from reaching the place, with no strength left to go on.
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。
Just as I felt completely at a loss, a familiar voice came over.

With Andrew’s help, I stood up and we kept going along the route I chose.

Ink and Tradition: Spring Couplets Writing
Aiming to promote traditional culture, our school successfully held the “Spring Couplets Writing” event in the school hall last Saturday, attracting wide participation from students.
The event featured a detailed demonstration by our art teacher, who showcased traditional brush techniques and explained the cultural meaning behind couplets. Students then eagerly practiced writing hopeful and joyful phrases on red paper under careful guidance, fully engaged in each movement of the brush. The atmosphere was both lively and focused, with participants sharing and comparing their creative works.
The event has been highly praised for not only bringing festive joy but also deepening students’ understanding and appreciation of traditional Chinese culture.
47．One possible version:
Just as I felt completely at a loss, a familiar voice came over. It was Andrew, who must have followed me after our argument. Skiing up to me, he got down on his knees and helped me brush off the snow on my clothes. “I knew you’d get into trouble if you insisted on the right route,” he said softly, but there was no blame in his voice. He took out the energy bar and water, urging me to eat and drink to regain strength. Then he tried to help me up.
With Andrew’s help, I stood up and we kept going along the route I chose. Ashamed of my mistake, I followed his advice closely. He led the way, showing me how to adjust my skis. We stopped for short breaks when I felt tired or dizzy to eat and drink. Despite the challenging road, we supported each other and kept going. Finally, we reached Kees and Claire Memorial Hut together. I looked at Andrew gratefully, and he just smiled. From this experience, I learned accepting others’ advice really counted in our life, for it could help us avoid mistakes instead of blindly challenging ourselves.
