For Pu Bingmei, what began as love for the sea has transformed into a lifelong mission: preserving ocean cleanliness, rescuing stranded (搁浅的) whales, and awakening public responsibility.
Growing up in arid Northwest China, the 39-year-old always harbored a longing for the sea. Arriving in Sanya for college in 2007, she recalls crystal-clear water with fish gliding beneath. However, frequent seaside visits exposed a grim reality: certain bays emitted smelly odors, with piled garbage and dark sand. Resolved to remedy the situation, she initiated weekly volunteer cleanups—a commitment that became her full-time devotion to the Blue Ribbon Ocean Conservation Association.
The association, initially fewer than 10 members, operated on a simple belief: the more litter removed from beaches, the less would reach the ocean. Through systematic monitoring, they identified insufficient trash bins and infrequent collection, offering advice to local authorities.
Recognizing the unsustainability of fishing, Pu drew on her tourism management background to chart a new course. She persuaded villagers to abandon fine-mesh nets and cut fishing fleet, introducing wellness tourism. This drove an economic shift, creating over 200 homestays and local jobs, curbing out-migration.
For Pu, marine conservation extends beach cleaning to saving marine mammals. Rescuing stranded whales is daunting: their bodies are built for water, and land pressure harms them. Improper handling causes secondary injuries. The team taught fishermen proper practices—never pushing stranded animals back—and trained firefighters and divers with rescue kits.
What strikes her most, however, is the surge in public ecological awareness. Whereas people once joined for small gifts; they now participate out of genuine initiative. In 2024, she led China’s first successful rescue of a short-finned pilot whale, with over 100 volunteers holding it upright around the clock to prevent drowning.
“The oceans are connected,” Pu says. “From picking up trash to inspiring action, concrete deeds and global cooperation truly make a difference.”
24. What motivated Pu to start weekly cleanups
A. Her lifelong love for the ocean. B. The awful coastal conditions.
C. The option to join an association. D. Her college education in Sanya.
25. What efforts has Pu made to save the ocean
A. Rescuing endangered wildlife. B. Training professional rescuers only.
C. Advocating sustainable tourism. D. Resolving the environmental crisis.
26. Why does the author mention the 2024 whale rescue
A. To report a rare ocean event. B. To celebrate the combined efforts.
C. To introduce a new rescue method. D. To show rising public eco-awareness.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. The mission of the Blue Ribbon B. From Sea Lover to Ocean Guardian
C. Tourism Development in Sanya D. A Volunteer Organization’s Growth
C
Throughout my career as a general therapist and medical educator, the doctor-patient relationship has long been a source of both anxiety and satisfaction. I have pursued psychological training to facilitate communication with my patients and teach medical students empathy and self-reflection. I see my work as a privilege—not in the sense of power, but in appreciation of my patients’ trust.
Recently I read Charlotte Blease’s Dr Bot, which argues that AI could fix virtually all healthcare flaws and that patients would be better off if doctors were laid off and AI put in charge. Her claim strikes me as a smokescreen. She unfairly blames doctors for health system blind spots such as long waiting time in the UK and unequal insurance coverage in the US, while ignoring national imbalances. Worse, she argues against empathy, citing research that it interferes with rational decision-making. But countless studies show empathy boosts patient satisfaction and treatment adherence (坚持).
Blease holds the outdated view that medicine remains a man-dominated profession of fifty years ago. However, doctors’ awareness of the dynamics of gender, race, sexuality and class—as well as other potential biases has risen dramatically in recent years. Medical students in Australia, at least, are now taught self-reflective practice alongside ethics and communication skills.
AI undoubtedly aids medicine, from consultation notes to literature reviews, but it should compensate for, not replace, doctors. As Dhruv Khullar notes, over-reliance risks cognitive deskilling and failure during crises. Today’s AI-literate young doctors, with communication skills, are redefining the profession.
While I do not defend medical overconfidence or avoidable errors, dismissing the entire profession is unreasonable. AI will assist with paperwork, freeing doctors for genuine patient care. As one physician put it, AI should steer you through, not away from, the medical system. Doctors who use AI may replace those who don’t, but AI will never replace human empathy and touch.
28. What does the author mean by “privilege”
A. Honor from patients’ trust. B. Control over medical resources.
C. Financial reward as a doctor. D. Social status from the medical job.
29. What might Blease agree with
A. Empathy enhances medical decisions. B. Doctors cause long waiting time.
C. Modern doctors show no racial biases. D. AI can better handle physical exams.
30. What is the purpose of Paragraph 3
A. To show medical students’ progress. B. To support Blease’s opinion on AI.
C. To challenge Blease’s outdated view. D. To introduce medical ethics teaching.
31. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs
A. Human care is irreplaceable. B. Young doctors reshape medicine.
C. AI makes medical systems worse. D. AI will ultimately replace doctors.
D
As the world shifts toward electric vehicles and renewable energy, the demand for high-performance lithium batteries is growing fast. However, traditional manufacturing (制造) methods, which rely on flat layers, often face limits in design and efficiency. Now, researchers are turning to 3D printing to reshape how these essential power sources are made.
A recent review published in Materials Science and Engineering: R: Reports by a team from Tohoku University offers a comprehensive overview of this emerging technology. The study shows that 3D printing can break free from flat designs, allowing engineers to build complex, three-dimensional structures inside batteries. One of the key advantages of 3D printing in the battery manufacturing process is its ability to create complex geometries and customized designs that are impossible with traditional methods.
Moreover, 3D printing enables faster prototyping (原型) and reduces the time and cost required to develop new battery designs. It shortens the path for ions (离子) to travel, improves electron flow, and reduces mechanical stress during charge-discharge cycles. In short, it builds better performance directly into the battery’s architecture.
One promising application of 3D-printed lithium batteries is in electric vehicles. By customizing the battery design to fit the available space in a vehicle frame, manufacturers can increase energy density and extend the driving range. Beyond electric vehicles, 3D-printed lithium batteries also show great potential in portable electronics, grid-scale energy storage, and renewable energy projects. The ability to create lightweight, high-performance batteries through 3D printing is driving innovation across various sectors and contributing to the advancement of sustainable energy technologies.
As 3D printing continues to evolve, the future of lithium batteries looks brighter than ever. Researchers are pushing the boundaries of battery design and manufacturing, drawing on the unique strengths of 3D printing to develop next-generation energy storage solutions that are more efficient, reliable, and eco-friendly. From lab to industry, 3D printing is transforming the way we produce lithium batteries and shaping the future of energy storage.
32. What is the key feature of 3D printing in battery manufacturing
A. Costly. B. Tailored. C. Complex. D. Standardized.
33. How does 3D printing improve battery performance
A. By bettering its inner structure. B. By polishing up flat designs.
C. By lengthening ion moving paths. D. By shortening charging time.
34. What is a possible use of 3D-printed lithium batteries
A. Power for medical operations. B. Replacement for solar panels.
C. Storage of hydrogen energy. D. Application in electric vehicles.
35. What is the text mainly about
A. A review of new lithium batteries. B. 3D printing reshaping battery making.
C. 3D printing for solid-state batteries. D. The future of electric vehicle batteries.

Team sports are a fantastic way to have fun, stay active, and build lasting friendships. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or a complete beginner, there’s a team sport out there for everyone.
36 Here are some tips on how to get started.
Start by looking inward. Your physical strengths, personal interests, and preferred level of competition all matter. For example, if you enjoy fast-paced action, basketball or soccer might suit you, while volleyball or baseball could be better for those who like strategy and teamwork.
37 Different sports demand different amounts of time, money, and travel. If your schedule is tight, look for teams that meet only once or twice a week. Meanwhile, costs for equipment, league fees, and transportation can add up quickly, so it’s wise to set a budget beforehand.
Once you’ve narrowed down your options, try out a few sports before fully committing.
38 Make sure any equipment you use is affordable, comfortable, and protective enough for your fort and safety should never be ignored—wearing the wrong gear can lead to unnecessary injuries.
39 Remember to be patient with yourself and accept that mistakes are part of learning. Don’t hesitate to ask experienced players or coaches for guidance. They can provide valuable insights and guidance to help you improve your skills. With regular practice and a positive attitude, skills will improve naturally.
Beyond the game itself, team sports bring lasting benefits. Regular participation strengthens the heart, builds muscle, and improves sleep. Socially, being part of a team creates strong friendships and a supportive environment. Working toward a common goal with teammates also teaches communication, trust, and resilience—skills that benefit every area of life. So take the first step. 40
A. Practical factors also play a role.
B. The more you practice, the better you’ll become.
C. Beginners often feel nervous about joining a team.
D. Many local clubs offer trial sessions or rental equipment.
E. However, choosing the right one does require careful thought.
F. Many people give up early simply because they lack professional guidance.
G. Find a local team, grab some basic gear, and discover the joy of playing together.

One day I was cutting lettuce (生菜) in the kitchen. Suddenly I remembered a video I had watched about 41 a new vegetable from the leftover stub (残余部分). I immediately took out a wide-mouthed mug, placed the stub inside with a little water, and put it by the window to get enough 42 .

On a snowy morning, I was delighted to notice a small new leaf unfurling from the center of the lettuce—a tiny green flag of hope. Beaten but not 45 , the lettuce refused to give up on life. Its growth was 46 , and within days the old cuts were completely 47 . When I lifted it carefully, thin, tender 48 hung down, reaching for the earth. I couldn’t help wondering: was it just lettuce, or was it 49 that was growing here
Unlike me, who would 50 and worry before restarting, the lettuce regained its 51 with only a little water and sunlight. I named it Monty for its fearless and lively 52 . It only needed love and freedom to return to its best self, which taught me that all living things have a natural tendency to survive and 53 .
I plan to transplant Monty outside so it can 54 develop. Though starting over still feels daunting, Monty’s bravery inspires me to choose 55 instead of decline, just as it did.

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 rainy, damp December day, the cold drizzle pattering against my car window as I headed to the store to pick up another week’s worth of food. The gray sky hung low, and the air was filled with the chill of winter, making the whole day feel gloomy. I had put off shopping for Christmas presents until later in the month, fearing the chaotic crowds of holiday shoppers—they always made the store feel tight and overwhelming. As I drove, I kept the CD player on, turning up the soft music to drown out the radio news, which always seemed to be filled with stories of division and conflict, leaving me feeling helpless and discouraged.
Still, I gave my young son a dollar, telling him to put it in the charity worker’s red container by the store door—a small act of kindness to ease the world’s divisions.We went in, and the warm air inside hit us, a welcome relief from the cold rain outside. We quickly filled our cart with groceries—fresh vegetables, bread, and some treats for the upcoming holiday. Then we walked towards the self-checkout machines. I hated using them; I much preferred chatting with the friendly cashiers, who always had a smile and a kind word. But the line at the regular registers was five deep, and I just didn’t have the time to wait.
As I pulled my cart up to a self-checkout machine, I heard the man next to me complaining quietly, his face lined with frustration. He only had a few items—a loaf of bread, a carton of milk, and a jar of jam—but every time he put his wrinkled, well-worn twenty-dollar bill into the machine, it was rejected. He sighed heavily, running a hand through his gray hair, clearly trying his hardest not to curse. I could tell he was growing more and more upset, his hands shaking slightly as he tried again and again to feed the bill into the machine.

Factors Influencing Students’ Major Choice
Recently, our school conducted a survey among students about factors influencing their college major choice. The results are as follows.
As the data indicates, 38% of the students regard national needs as the top consideration, ranking first. 35% tend to follow their personal interest, which is also a key factor. 20% care most about career prospects, while only 7% take other aspects into account.
From my perspective, we are supposed to make a wise and balanced choice. While job prospects are important, we students should give more weight to our genuine interests. Passion fuels long-term motivation and satisfaction. More importantly, considering national demands can not only lead to meaningful careers but also allow us to respond to the call of society. Only in this way can we realize our dreams and make valuable contributions to our country.
第二节【参考范文】
I quickly grabbed a newer twenty out of my purse. It was crisp and clean, having just come from the bank that morning. I tapped the old man gently on the shoulder and handed him the bill with a warm smile. “Excuse me,” I said softly. “Try this one.” He looked up, his tired eyes meeting mine with a mixture of surprise and hesitation. Then he took the bill and fed it into the machine carefully. This time, the green light flashed, and a soft whir announced its acceptance. He let out a long, quiet breath. “Thank you, ma’am” he murmured repeatedly before pressing his wrinkled twenty-dollar note into my hand.
The old man waved goodbye, leaving us there with that torn twenty in hand. My son tugged my sleeve. “Mama, can we still put that in the kettle ” he asked. I smiled and nodded. As we walked out into the cold drizzle, he dropped the old twenty into the kettle as he usually did, hoping it could bring a little joy to someone in need. That torn, rejected bill had found its place—just like a small kindness on a gloomy December day. As we drove home, we heard a quote from Mother Teresa on the radio: "Help one person at a time and always start with the person nearest you."

W: I’d also appreciate it if you could do some cleaning this evening. Dad will take care of the bathrooms and windows. Could you please sweep the floor (17) I won’t have time as I’ll be busy cooking and decorating the dining room.
M: No problem. I’ll do it right now before I start my homework. (17)
W: Great. That’s a big help. Thank you, sweetheart.

I do believe we have turned the corner and winter is behind us. All the signs of spring are here. (18) The early flowers are trying to come out. It’s been dry for the past seven days, but when the rain does eventually come, there will be a mass of flowers everywhere. I really think this is my favorite season. Summer is fantastic, of course, and the autumn colors are incredible, but there’s such a lovely feeling of hope in spring. I meant to plant some vegetables today, but my neighbor warned me not to be too eager. (19) He pointed out that there was still a chance of frost at this time of year, so maybe I’ll wait a week or two. (19) Actually, I might get my paints out of the cupboard later and paint a picture of this scene. That’s how beautiful it is. In fact, I’ll do that once I have finished sweeping the path. I suppose it would be easier to just take a picture of it with my phone, but it really deserves something more than that. If something is as pretty as a picture, then it actually deserves to become a picture. I’m going to paint a picture of the scene. (20)
