阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A 、B 、C 、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Books are windows to different lives and deep truths, inviting us to cross time and borders without stepping out. Among 2025’s publications, we, New York Times, unfold a collection of carefully selected literary treasures worth a place on your shelf.
A Marriage at Sea by Sophie Elmihirst
In 1972, the Baileys sailed for New Zealand, only to have their boat destroyed by a whale nine months later. Trapped on a rough float, they struggled to survive 118 days in the Pacific.
Elmihirst vividly shows their fears, small wins and endless waits — moments when death felt near, leading readers to reflect deeply on loneliness, courage and partnership.
Mother Emanuel by Kevin Sack
In 2015, a white racist shot and killed nine people in Charleston’s Emanuel A.M.E. Church, a site rooted in Black American history. Sack spent nearly 10 years crafting this book, which tells the church’s important role in the nation’s story and highlights the strength of those who refused
to be broken. It’s a moving record of hope and courage in the face of hate.
Mother Mary Comes to Me by Arundhati Roy
This memoir is honest yet full of dark humor, as Roy writes about her mother — a tough woman who inspired her to be a writer and activist, but also left deep emotional marks. Roy
doesn’t hide her own flaws either. From the tight-knit Indian community she fled, to the world stage, she’sjust as strong-willed and unforgettable as her mother.
There Is No Place for Us by Brian Goldstone
Journalist Goldstone explores America’s “working homeless” — a heartbreaking and
conflicting reality affecting hundreds of thousands. By following five Atlanta families bouncing between cars and couches, he reveals how high rents, low salaries and poor policies have pushed them to the edge. Their stories give voice to the ignored, turning numbers into real lives.
1 ．What does Sophie Elmihirst intend to convey in her book
A ．Emergency responses to whale attacks. B ．Human spirits in extreme challenges.
C ．Risks in ocean exploration. D ．Preparations for ocean voyages.

Jane Goodall, the famous primatologist (灵长类动物学家), well-known for her
groundbreaking research on chimpanzees (黑猩猩) passed away last year at the age of 91.
Born in 1934 in London, Goodall’s fascination with animals was sparked when her mother took her to visit a country farm when she was 4. There, she wandered to a henhouse patiently
observing a hen laying an egg. “Mom had been desperately looking for me; she’d called the
police. But when she saw my shining eyes, she sat down to hear my wonderful story of how a hen lays an egg.” She credited her mother’s support at that moment and later in life for paving the way for her career.
In 1960, at age 26, Goodall traveled to Tanzania’s Gombe Stream National Park to study
chimpanzees. She made history when she discovered that chimpanzees, humankind’s closest
living relatives, made and used tools, which was long thought exclusive to humans. She also found that chimps hunted prey, ate meat, and had emotions and behaviors similar to humans. Her
findings reshaped scientific understanding of primate behavior and human evolution (进化).
During her long-term studies, she gave her chimp subjects names instead of numbers, a practice that raised eyebrows in the male-dominated field of primate studies in the 1960s. But within a decade, she became a National Geographic heroine, her books and films educating
worldwide audiences with stories of the apes she called Graybeard, McGregor, and Gilka.
Beyond her research, Goodall became a global conservation advocate. In 1977, she founded the Jane Goodall Institute to protect chimpanzees and their habitats. She also launched the “Roots & Shoots” program, engaging youth worldwide in environmental and animal welfare projects. As a UN Messenger of Peace, she traveled extensively to raise awareness about conservation,
poverty, and climate change, emphasizing the connections of human, animal, and environmental well-being. Goodall’s legacy lies in her unwavering belief that “every individual matters.”
4 ．What contributed to Goodall’s lifelong pursuit of animal career
A ．Her deep fascination with animals. B ．Her mother’s unconditional support.
C ．Her observation of a hen laying eggs. D ．Her shining curiosity in animals’ stories.
5 ．Why was Goodall’s discovery about chimpanzees groundbreaking
A ．It revealed how the chimpanzees evolved.
B ．It showed tools were not unique to humans.
C ．It highlighted chimpanzees behaved the same as humans.
D ．It proved chimpanzees were humankind’s closest relatives.
6 ．How does Goodall’s study differ from others
A ．It involves more humanity. B ．It takes longest time.
C ．It is equipped with advanced tools. D ．It is male-dominated.
7 ．Which of the following can best describe Jane Goodall
A ．Selfless and confident. B ．Generous and ambitious.
C ．Optimistic and modest. D ．Committed and compassionate.
C
In the past decade Google searches for “solo travel” have more than doubled. In Britain the share of travellers going on holiday by themselves has nearly tripled, says the Association of
British Travel Agents, from 6% in 2011 to 17% in 2024. Why are so many people travelling alone
Just as Grand Tours became a ceremony for young noblemen, solo travel today is less about finding distant places than finding yourself. Hilton, a hospitality company, calls the trend
“me-mooning” which is opposed to “honeymooning”. Meanwhile, those not searching for
themselves are looking for an adventure. People “travel not to go anywhere, but to go”, as Robert Louis Stevenson, the author of Treasure Island, put it. Solo travellers describe the thrill of doing whatever they want, whenever they want. Research has shown that self-driven solitude can boost creativity and well-being.
And, rather than hanging out with the mates they have, many travel alone in order to meet
new friends and lovers. The isolation of the pandemic made people “more open” to wandering
with strangers, says Lee Thompson of Flash Pack, a tour operator. The firm, which uses the slogan “arrive solo, leave as friends”, now takes twice as many bookings as it did before Covid-19.
Millennials and Gen Z are particularly keen on travelling: they spend a larger share of their income on trips than their older peers do. Many are postponing getting married and having children, so have the flexibility to head off on trip when they please.
On TikTok influencers advocate the virtues of independent travelling: “Stop waiting for someone to join you.” Women, in particular, are welcoming that trend. By one estimate, 84% of solo travellers are female. A century ago women were warned not to travel without a male
companion; today many say they are not afraid to travel unaccompanied. Women today have the
competence, and the time, to follow their feet.
8 ．What does “me-mooning” refer to
A ．Remote destination exploration. B ．Group-focused adventures.
C ．Solo travel for self-discovery. D ．Honeymoon for couples.
9 ．Why do some people travel alone according to Flash Pack
A ．To boost their creativity and well-being.
B ．To form new friendships and relationships.
C ．To avoid the spread of pandemic.
D ．To escape from their daily routines.
10 ．What can we know about Millennial and Gen Z tourists
A ．They have flexible time and bigger budget for trips.
B ．They are keen on travelling with mates.
C ．They prioritize marriage and family over travel.
D ．They behave like older generation.
11 ．What can we infer from last paragraph
A ．Women are still unwilling to travel alone.
B ．Most females prefer travelling accompanied by men.
C ．Women face multiple challenges when travelling alone.
D ．Women are embracing solo travel despite historical restrictions.
D
For years, we’ve been teaching a class on music and the mind. At the start of each semester, we asked the students to complete a survey on their favorite songs and artists. Students’ favorite
songs and artists get longer and more varied each year and their playlists barely overlap (重叠).
Indeed, listening to music is a deeply private and personal experience nowadays and even more so with the introduction of the iPhone and smartphones. When teenagers listen to music via streaming, artificial intelligence and social media platforms team up to suggest personalized
playlists for them.
Some young people feel that AI generated playlists make them exposed to something
uninteresting. Their playlists are populated with songs and artists they’ve never heard of before,
yet they all sound similar. In the past, they might not have noticed such a situation. Their musical consumption was dominated (占主导) by the“Top-40” artists. However, AI generated playlists have changed this, since a wider range of music is available.
Furthermore, if they think their AI influenced playlists are unappealing, they still have the ability to search for new music just because AI doesn’t prevent them researching and discovering music on their own. Anything that exists, they can find. The store is always open.
As young people transition (过渡) from childhood to adulthood with various styles of
music, two seemingly opposing processes become essential — forming a unique identity while
becoming part of a community. Music listening and preferences play an important role in it and AI generated playlists may have the potential to challenge this transition.
Fears of new technologies are common. For example, the decline of scheduled network TV erased lots of common ground for discussion. Will 50 million Americans ever again watch the
series ending of a TV show, as they did for Friends in 2004 And will AI make it easier to differentiate the self, but harder to bond with others
12 ．What do we know about students’ favorite playlists from the survey
A ．They are becoming more and more similar. B ．They have little in common with each other.
C ．They are mainly made up of Top-40 songs. D ．They are designed by their music teachers.
13 ．Why do some young people dislike AI generated playlists
A ．The playlists are not updated in time. B ．The music in the playlists is hard to find.
C ．The music in the playlists sounds alike. D ．The playlists lack personalized elements.
14 ．Which may the author agree with regarding young people’s transition to adulthood
A ．Listening to music has little effect on social bonding.
B ．Young people should avoid using AI generated playlists.
C ．Music preferences stop the development of personal identity.
D ．Forming a unique identity and joining a community are both vital.
15 ．Why does the author mention the TV series Friends in the text
A ．To stress the power of traditional media. B ．To introduce a popular TV show to readers.
C ．To show the potential social influence of AI. D ．To compare the current expression with past
ones.

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。
“What are you writing ”
Sighing, I slammed my notebook shut. My sister Bethany, two years older than me, is
always poking her nose into my business. “Nothing,” I replied. I didn’t tell her I was entering a
writing competition in case I didn’t win. Bethany is always winning at her dancing competitions, Mum has lots of bowling trophies (奖杯), and Dad is the top player at his golf club. I started ballet lessons when I was younger, but I was always facing the wrong way and bumping into (撞)
everyone. I’m even worse at sport.
But I do love English at school, especially writing stories. Ms. Susan is my favorite teacher and she suggested I enter this competition. I felt a warm light when she said she thought my
stories were excellent.
“Is it your secret diary ” Bethany yawned, opening the fridge. Mum arrived, loaded with
shopping bags. “Who’s keeping a secret diary ” “Nobody. I’m keeping a notebook as I want to be a writer,” I said, annoyed.
Bethany snorted (哼), “Now she thinks she’s going to be the next Shakespeare.” “Our
Maisie maybe will be a famous writer. All her teachers praise her composition,” Mum leapt to my defence.
“Ms. Susan says I should write about what I know, so you’d better watch out,” I told
Bethany darkly. Bethany took a bottle of milk from the fridge and bounded (跳跃着跑) upstairs and yelled, “I don’t want to be in your stupid story!” “Ignore her,” Mum said. “Keep going with your story.”
Weeks passed, and the memory of the competition slowly faded beneath the busy rhythm of everyday life. Then one afternoon, as I was lazily scrolling through my e-mails, a notification (通知) from the competition organizers suddenly appeared.

46 ．Dear Mr. Smith,
I’m Li Hua, a Senior 3 student. I’m writing to convey my genuine feedback on the operation of our school’s Psychological Counseling Room.
Nevertheless, its current weekday opening hours (9 a.m. — 4 p.m.) coincide with our class schedule, making it inaccessible for most students. Additionally, the activity forms are relatively dull and a considerable number of students remain unaware of its comprehensive functions. Thus, I propose extending the service hours to 9 p.m. on weekdays, introducing engaging activities such as psychological dramas, and promoting its services through campus posters.
I sincerely hope these suggestions will contribute to its better development, as the counseling room plays a vital role in safeguarding our mental health.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
47 ．Possible version:
I read the e-mail 20 times before finally believing I succeeded. A wave of exhilaration
washed over me. Without a second thought, I rushed downstairs to share the incredible news with my family. My mother wrapped me in a tight embrace, her eyes glistening with tears, while my
father instantly suggested celebrating at my favorite restaurant. I also called Ms. Susan to share
the good news, who encouraged me, “Your work finally paid off.” Bethany, however, offered only a brief, flat “Congratulations”. Her lack of enthusiasm cast a shadow over my joy. I had been
secretly longing for her approval more than anyone else’s. Holding the draft, I approached
Bethany. “It’s about us,” my voice barely a whisper. “Would you like to read it ”
I held my breath as Bethany read my story, worried about her response. The silence grew
thick and every second stretched out. My heart pounded as I watched, searching for any hint in her eyes. Then came her voice, “This is... truly wonderful. The part of the annoying sister is vivid.
You really deserve the success.” Her words filled me with a warmth that seemed to melt away
years of quiet rivalry between us. My entire body relaxed. “It wasn’t just my achievement.” I told her. “You helped me get there.” Tears streamed down Bethany’s face as she hugged me tightly. At that moment, I realized home was more than a place; it was the safety of shared memories and the comfort of being fully accepted, exactly as you are.
