As the world accelerates toward a greener future, the rapid development of electric vehicles (EVs) has made lithium-ion (锂离子的) batteries essential to global energy systems. Different types of batteries such as NMC, NCA, LFP, and lead-acid are used in EVs, each with unique characteristics and applications. The table below compares four common EV battery types.
BATTERY TYPES ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) High energy density, better performance Higher cost and reliance on rare materials
Lithium Nickel Cobalt Aluminum Oxide (NCA) High energy density, long lifespan Expensive and complex manufacturing process
Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) Safe, long lifecycle, cost-effective Lower energy density compared to others
Lead-Acid Low cost, widely available Heavy, limited cycle life, and environmental concerns
With these batteries powering not only vehicles but also energy storage systems for homes and industries, their growing use raises an equally important issue: how to recycle them efficiently to conserve critical resources and ensure environmental sustainability.
China already a major producer of EV batteries, is now expanding its reach into the battery recycling field, aiming to build a closed-loop supply chain. This system focuses on sharing, reusing, repairing, restoring, and recycling batteries to keep materials in use for as long as possible. Supported by government policies which include setting industry standards, offering financial support, and providing tax benefits, China has rapidly expanded its recycling capacity and improved resource efficiency.
As the global green transition gathers pace the ability to close the loop on critical resources like EV batteries will become an increasingly valuable advantage. To provide a broader picture, the chart on the right shows recycling capacity across different countries.
1. Which battery is both affordable and long-lasting
A. NMC. B. NCA. C. LFP. D. Lead-Acid.
2. What is the closed-loop system mainly designed to do
A. Improve product safety. B. Increase industrial output.
C. Strengthen supply chain. D. Enhance material efficiency.
3. What does the chart show about battery recycling capacity
A. Germany shows steady capacity growth.
B. China holds a clearly dominant position.
C. The US exceeds the UK in recycling capacity.
D. Australia performs poorly at energy recycling.
B
For a few minutes on a recent bright morning, 13-year-old John Buettner felt like a little kid again. Actually, as he lay on the netting of an inclusive playground he had helped design near Hastings, Minnesota, he said the feeling was even better. John, who was born with cerebral palsy (脑瘫) and kept out of many games, now helps a local company create play spaces for children like him.
So how does a kid end up trying out playground designs Years of watching from the sidelines, it seems. When teachers and students at Glen Lake started talking about replacing their old playground, they noticed a group of kids in wheelchairs. Realizing that the kids’ voices were missing, they wanted input from someone with real experience. So they asked John, who had often watched others play, to share his ideas. “I got roped into it,” he said.
And the project — including fundraising — started gaining steam. Knocking on doors and calling local businesses netted modest donations. It was enough for one piece of equipment, but a new playground needed much more. “Then we started raising more money through bake sales and collecting coins at school,” John said. “And out of nowhere, we started getting calls from big businesses.”
The success of the Glen Lake project led to something even bigger. Landscape Structures, the Delano company behind the Glen Lake playground, approached John and his teammates. They asked him whether he wanted to help test new pieces of equipment. The company says listening to disabled kids helps them design better playgrounds for everyone.
John now works with a nonprofit, Minnesota Play For All, to build a playground at his middle school. Sitting in his wheelchair beside a play structure he helped test, John said he had learned something important. “Being able to tell myself that I helped with this means a lot to me,” he said. “It shows me that I can make things better — not only for myself, but for others too.”
4. What is the “inclusive playground” in paragraph 1
A. A specific center for indoor activities.
B. A private zone for teachers to relax.
C. A facility built with high-tech materials.
D. A space accessible for all children.
5. Why was John chosen to help at first
A. He was one of the kids left out. B. He helped test early designs.
C. He was a kid trusted by teachers. D. He joined in the playground talks.
6. What does paragraph 4 mainly show about John
A. He designed new facilities.
B. He used different test approaches.
C. He took a leading role in the project.
D. He became a valued voice in design.
7. What does John’s story suggest
A. Success takes time and patience. B. Everyone follows their own path.
C. One finds his power by stepping in. D. Communication brings people closer.
C
Small animals like kittens or puppies, a round-cheeked baby, or an adorable stuffed toy can all seem incredibly cute. They make us go, “Aww!” and want to hug or even squeeze them.
Humans are naturally and universally drawn to cute things. “The visual appeal of cuteness often causes positive emotions,” says Sanam Hafeez, a neuropsychologist of Comprehend the Mind. “Psychologically, these cute features lead to feelings of affection and a desire to engage with them in a playful way.” There may even be an evolutionary basis for this. According to Konrad Lorenz, an Austrian ethologist, most things we see as cute have features that look like those of human babies. He believed that we’re just exercising our human drive to care for others when enjoying cute things, a drive that helps us survive.
Cute things or people can have profound impacts on our emotions and behavior. Cuteness can flood us with feelings of love and well-being, and may cause us to behave in more childish ways. But sometimes, cuteness can lead to a seemingly opposite response — more aggressive behavior. This is known as “cuteness aggression” and may look like wanting to squeeze or tightly hug something cute. Cuteness aggression happens when overwhelming cuteness creates very strong feelings and this helps the brain deal with them so we don’t become emotionally overloaded.
The feel-good qualities of cuteness are seen often in popular culture. “Cute characters, animals, and trends have become a way for people to connect and share positive feelings,” Dr. Hafeez says. “Cute emojis, stuffed animals, and cartoon characters are used in social media, advertising, and entertainment to grab attention and create an emotional bond with audiences.”
Cuteness is also often harnessed in advertising and product branding which frequently feature cute or adorable characters to attract customers. One example is animal videos and cute characters that build emotional attachment and increase loyalty to a brand. These feelings can even affect spending patterns and strengthen people’s connection to a brand or cause.
8. Why does the author cite the words of experts in paragraph 2
A. To compare theories of evolution.
B. To show the importance of cuteness.
C. To clarify how the brain handles feelings.
D. To explain why cuteness attracts humans.
9. What do we know about cuteness aggression
A. It helps us form emotional bonds.
B. It leads us to explore childish behaviors.
C. It enables us to manage intense feelings.
D. It makes us avoid overwhelming cuteness.
10. What does the underlined word “harnessed” probably mean in paragraph 5
A. widely used. B. Clearly described.
C. easily changed. D. Visually simplified.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A. What Makes Things Cute B. How Cuteness Affects Us
C. Why We prefer Cute Things D. When Cuteness Wins Our hearts
D
Researchers at the University of Houston have achieved a groundbreaking milestone in science, showing that boron arsenide (BAs) (砷化硼) can outperform diamond in thermal conductivity (热导率).
Through developing exceptionally pure BAs crystals (晶体), the team measured thermal conductivity more than 2,100 W/mK at room temperature. This result not only exceeds previous experimental data but also breaks the theoretical ceiling of approximately 1,360 W/mK. The study challenges existing theoretical models of heat transport in solids. Professor Zhifeng Ren, the corresponding author, stated: “We trust our measurement; our data is correct and that means the theory needs correction.”
The discovery of the superior thermal conductivity of BAs was the result of dedicated investigation. In 2013, Boston College physicists predicted that BAs could conduct heat as efficiently as diamond. However, revised models in 2017 with a complex factor dramatically reduced predicted performance to around 1,360 W/mK. This caused many in the field to abandon the idea that BAs could exceed diamond’s conductivity. Ren’s group, however, suspected the problem wasn’t a lack of a fundamental property of the material, but the presence of impurities within it. By processing raw materials and developing improved production methods, the UH-led team created BAs crystals with significantly fewer imperfections. When tested, these high-purity samples showed a record-breaking thermal conductivity above 2,100 W/mK.
The implications of this breakthrough extend far beyond laboratory measurements. BAs has the potential to revolutionize electronics and semiconductor technology. Compared to diamond, it offers easier, more cost-effective manufacturing without the need for extreme temperature or pressure. Its high carrier mobility suggests potentially superior electronic advantages over silicon.
This collaborative research opens new possibilities for advanced thermal management in next-generation electronics, from smartphones to high-power applications and data centers. Although this discovery marks a new frontier, the work is ongoing. Professor Ren encourages the scientific community to reconsider existing models, noting: “You shouldn’t let a theory prevent you from discovering something even bigger, and this exactly happened in this work.”
12. What led Professor Ren to say that “the theory needs correction”
A. The initial models. B. The confirmed results.
C. The revised predictions. D. The common explanations.
13. What is the key to achieving remarkable thermal conductivity in BAs
A. Exceptional purity. B. Solid structure.
C. Constant temperature. D. Extreme pressure.
14. How does the author point out the advantages of BAs in paragraph 4
A. By defining a concept. B. By giving examples.
C. By making a comparison. D. By providing statistics.
15. What can be inferred about the future of BAs
A. Its property will remain questionable.
B. Its cost will become the main concern.
C. Its advantages may ensure quick acceptance.
D. Its potential may grow with further research.

Brand New You
We’re always told that no one likes a show-off, but a little bit of boasting (夸耀) does us all the world of good.
Once a year I teach a class on building personal brand to a group of women in the creative industries. At the start I ask each of the attendees how they feel about the phrase “personal brand”. ____16____. Most of them will tell me it feels too much like boasting. By the end of the session, however, there’s a change in mood and it always comes down to one key point that I think everyone should know. So I’m sharing it here!
It’s really quite simple: acknowledging your strengths does not mean you boast yourself. ____17____. But then we do an exercise that proves my point. I put the women in pairs and give them five minutes each to talk about things they love and are good at. When I give the instructions I am greeted by looks of horror. Five minutes ! Only talking about themselves ! What if the other person thinks they’re boasting
____18____. So is sharing it with others. And yet it’s so lovely to hear someone else share their passion. The room is filled with connection, laughter and joy. And so I tell them, and now you, if you only take one thing away from this workshop let it be this: sharing what you love and are good at-your passion-with someone else, never comes across as boasting.____19____.
And if you want to feel really great today, ask someone to share what they love and are good at with you. If they only talk about what they love, encourage them to tell you why they’re good at it. ____20____. Maybe we’ll all feel better for it.
A. It is a form of connection and a gift
B. Almost everyone feels uneasy about it
C. Many people are impressed by your passion
D. Boast your strengths by building your personal brand
E. Try to create a “boasting culture” in our pride-avoidant society
F. When I say this in the workshop, there are always raised eyebrows
G. Owning what we are good at is an unfamiliar concept in our culture

A thank-you note arrived after my wife and I hosted some friends for dinner. It was a(n) ____21____ one. I’d been used to quick digital thanks via text or email, so I was so struck by the gesture from a busy person that I decided to commit to ____22____ thank-you notes myself.
Days later after a friend invited me to lunch, my opportunity ____23____. I fired off my first thank-you notes — the start of a practice I’ve maintained for years. This habit has deepened my ____24____ across the board, even with my children.
How we express ____25____ matters as much as the act itself. A quick ____26____ after a dinner or lunch date is a nice gesture. An email is also fine. But they can be done so ____27____ so these seem to mean less.
The ____28____ is often as crucial as the message. And a medium that forces you to slow down, ____29____ your words, put them on paper, and ____30____ it — whether by mail or hand — carries far greater resonance (共鸣).
My wife and I write hundreds of letters each year. When writing a thank-you note, a few ____31____ are enough. Thank the recipient, mentioning some ____32____ you enjoyed — for example, a fun moment or something interesting they said.
And hand deliver whenever possible. ____33____ “By Hand” to show you went out of your way.

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。
Eliza ran a small bookstore called “The Corner Books,” which her grandfather had left to her. Because Eliza had a day job, she only kept the shop open on weekends. To her grandfather, the shop was more than a place to sell books; it was a “home for the soul” where people could connect with stories and each other. However, in an era of digital reading, the shop saw few customers. Every weekend, Eliza felt trapped behind the counter, dusting books that rarely left the shelves. It ate into her free time, leaving her exhausted.
One rainy Friday, I visited Eliza. She looked deeply troubled, holding a contract. She told me that a businessman, Mr. White, had offered to buy the shop to build a convenience store. “Today is the deadline,” she said with a shaky voice. “The money could change my life, but Grandpa’s dream would die. I wonder if I should just give up. It’s a failing business.”
“Have you ever thought about doing some volunteer work ” I asked Eliza.
She was surprised. “I’m so busy with this shop. How can I help others when I can’t even help myself ”
I smiled and shared a similar experience. For years, I had been sweeping paths and picking up litter in our community park every Saturday morning. At first I saw these tasks as chores. Then one day a neighbor asked if I did volunteer work, and I said, “No, I was too busy with work, kids, and helping out in the park.” And then it hit me: helping out in the park was my volunteer work.
“That change in my thinking changed everything,” I said. “You could sell this place. But by staying, you are keeping the neighborhood’s’ heart’ alive. You are not just a failing shop owner; you are a volunteer guarding the last place for real connection. Why not see the shop as your volunteer project ”
Eliza fell silent. Slowly, her expression softened, and she looked at the phone on the desk.
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。
Eliza took a deep breath and picked up the phone to call Mr. White.
