A
Three young people are making headlines in 2025 for their extraordinary actions.
Emma, 14, UK
Emma noticed that elderly people in her town felt lonely because they couldn't use video-calling apps. She started “Silver Surfers”, a free workshop run by teenagers. “We teach them how to make video calls and send photos,” Emma said. “The joy on their faces when they see their grandchildren on screen is everything.” The program has now spread to 20 cities.
Lucas, 16, Brazil
While walking home from school, Lucas saw a small fire in a dry forest area. Instead of running away, he used his mobile phone to call the fire department and recorded the wind direction. His quick thinking helped firefighters stop the fire before it reached nearby houses. “I learned about fire safety in school. It saved our neighborhood,” he said.
Maya, 13, India
Maya created a “silent alarm” for her grandfather who is deaf. Using an old smartwatch and a light bulb, she built a device that flashes (闪烁) when someone rings the doorbell. Her invention won the national young scientist award. “You don’t need expensive things to solve problems,” Maya said. “You just need to care enough.”
11. The text is a set of ________.
A. short news stories B. scientific reports C. historical records D. personal diaries
12. What did Lucas do that helped stop the fire
A. He called the fire department and recorded wind direction.
B. He used a smartwatch to send a silent alarm.
C. He taught elderly people how to use video calls.
D. He ran away and asked for help from neighbors.
13. What is the main message of these three stories
A. Young people are better than adults at using technology.
B. Caring and creative actions can make a big difference.
C. School education is the most important thing for teenagers.
D. It is dangerous for young people to get involved in emergencies.
B
On July 15, 2024, the world’s largest waste-to-energy plant began operating in Dubai. It turns 2 million tons of trash into electricity every year. But this is not just another industrial story — it’s a story about how one man refused to accept “impossible.”
Dr. Ahmed Al-Mansoori, a 58-year-old engineer from the UAE, spent 12 years fighting for this project. When he first proposed (提议) the idea in 2012, everyone told him it was too expensive and too difficult. “They laughed at me in meetings,” Ahmed recalls. “They said, ‘Dubai is a city of sunshine and oil, not garbage.’ But I saw a different future.”
The main problem was not technology — it was mindset (思维模式). Most people thought trash was simply something to bury. Ahmed spent years traveling to Sweden and Germany to study their waste systems. He wrote over 200 reports and gave more than 150 presentations. Slowly, people began to listen.
The plant now serves 3 million people and creates 5% of Dubai’s electricity. It produces almost no pollution because of advanced filters (过滤器). The leftover ash is used to build roads. “We didn’t just build a factory,” Ahmed says. “We changed how people think about waste.”
Today, at age 58, Ahmed is already working on his next project: turning desert sand into farmland. “Impossible is just a word,” he says. “It means ‘I’m possible’ if you break it apart.”
14. What was the biggest difficulty Ahmed faced at the beginning
A. Lack of money and technology.
B. People’s negative attitude towards his idea.
C. The government’s strict environmental rules.
D. He couldn’t find a suitable location.
15. Which of the following is true about the waste-to-energy plant
A. It took Ahmed less than 5 years to complete the project.
B. It turns all of Dubai’s trash into electricity.
C. It produces a little pollution with the help of filters.
D. The leftover ash is buried underground.
16. What does Ahmed mean by “Impossible is just a word”
A. Many words have different meanings.
B. Difficult things can become possible with effort.
C. He doesn’t understand the meaning of the word.
D. Only young people can achieve impossible things.
17. What can we infer about Ahmed from the passage
A. He is a person who never gives up easily.
B. He prefers to work alone without any help.
C. He believes oil is more important than trash.
D. He is planning to retire after this success.
C
In October 2024, a team of scientists at the University of Tokyo made a breakthrough that sounds like science fiction: they created a “living skin” for robots. This material can heal (修复) itself when cut, just like human skin.
The secret lies in a special gel (凝胶) made from collagen and a type of living cells. When the skin is damaged, the cells “wake up” and begin producing new material to fill the gap. In lab tests, a 2-centimeter cut healed completely within 7 days. “This is the first time a robot has been able to ‘feel’ damage and repair itself,” said Dr. Yuki Tanaka, the lead researcher.
The potential uses are huge. In disaster rescue (救援), robots with self-healing skin could enter dangerous areas without breaking down easily. In space exploration, they could repair themselves after being hit by small space rocks. Even in everyday life, your future phone screen might heal its own scratches (划痕) overnight.
However, the technology is not ready for mass production. The current material is expensive — it costs about $500 to make a piece the size of a credit card. Also, the healing process works best at room temperature. In very hot or cold conditions, it slows down significantly.
Despite these challenges, the research has excited scientists worldwide. “We are looking at the first step toward truly ‘living’ machines,” said a professor from MIT who was not involved in the study. “In 20 years, this might be as common as plastic.”
18. What does the underlined word “breakthrough” in Paragraph 1 most likely mean
A. A small mistake B. An important discovery C. A common problem D. A dangerous experiment
19. According to the passage, what is one current limitation (局限) of the living skin
A. It can only heal very small cuts.
B. It does not work well in extreme temperatures.
C. It cannot be used on phone screens.
D. It takes more than a month to heal.
20. How does the writer prove the potential uses of the living skin in Paragraph 3
A. By listing different possible situations.
B. By comparing it with human skin.
C. By giving the opinion of a professor.
D. By showing the results of lab tests.
21. What is the best title for this passage
A. The Future of Plastic B. Robots That Feel Pain
C. Self-Healing Robot Skin D. Disaster Rescue Technology
D
In February 2025, a new kind of “smart window” was installed (安装) in an office building in Berlin. It looks like normal glass, but it can change color automatically to save energy. This technology, called “electrochromic glass”, has existed for years, but it was too expensive for most buildings. Now, a German startup has reduced the cost by 80%.
How does it work A very thin layer of special material is placed between two pieces of glass. When a small electric current (电流) is applied, ions (离子) move into the material, making it dark. When the current is reversed (反转), it becomes clear again. The whole process takes about three minutes.
The smart window brings three big benefits. First, it reduces air conditioning costs by up to 30% in summer because it blocks heat before it enters the room. Second, it cuts heating costs in winter by letting in sunlight when it is clear. Third, it reduces the need for blinds (百叶窗) or curtains, making offices look cleaner.
“The old version cost $1,000 per square meter,” said Maria Schmidt, CEO of the startup. “Now we can do it for $200. At this price, most new office buildings can afford it.” Her company is already working on a version for home windows, which they plan to launch in 2026.
However, some experts have concerns. “The glass still costs more than traditional windows plus blinds,” said a building engineer. “Also, the color change takes minutes, not seconds. For homes where people want instant privacy (隐私), this might be too slow.”
Despite these concerns, the market is growing fast. By 2027, smart windows are expected to be in 15% of new commercial buildings in Europe.
22. What made the smart window become practical for most buildings in 2025
A. It can change color faster than before.
B. The cost has been greatly reduced.
C. It uses no electricity at all.
D. The color change process is automatic.
23. According to the passage, which of the following is a benefit of the smart window
A. It produces electricity for the building.
B. It completely replaces air conditioning.
C. It blocks heat in summer and lets in sunlight in winter.
D. It changes color in less than one minute.
24. What concern do some experts have about the smart window
A. It cannot be used in office buildings.
B. It is not energy-efficient enough.
C. The color change is too slow for some situations.
D. It breaks more easily than normal glass.
25. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Smart windows will completely replace normal windows by 2027.
B. The technology will be used more and more in the future.
C. European buildings use more energy than American buildings.
D. People do not care about the cost of windows.

七、阅读表达（本题共3小题；1题2分，2题2分，3题3分，满分7分）
阅读下面短文，回答问题。
In January 2025, a new social media platform called “BeReal 2.0” became the most downloaded app in the world. Unlike other apps that allow filters and editing, BeReal 2.0 does something shocking: it only allows users to post photos taken at a random (随机的) time each day, with no editing at all. The phone’s front and back cameras take photos at the same time, showing both you and what you are doing.
The app was created by a French team led by 28-year-old Alexis Barreyat. “We got tired of fake (虚假的) perfection on social media,” Alexis said. “Everyone posts their best moments, their best angles. That’s not real life. We wanted to bring authenticity back.”
The app has exploded in popularity, especially among teenagers. On its busiest day in February 2025, 50 million photos were posted within two minutes of the daily notification (通知). “I used to spend an hour picking the right photo for Instagram,” said Maya, 15, from London. “Now I just take one photo and post it. It’s so freeing.”
However, the app has also caused debate. Some parents worry that the random notification — which can happen during class, in the shower, or late at night — encourages students to use phones at inappropriate times. Others argue that the app actually reduces screen time because users only post once a day.
Alexis responds, “Every technology has trade-offs. We believe being real is more important than being perfect. And we’ve added a ‘school mode’ that delays notifications during school hours.”
As of March 2025, BeReal 2.0 has 200 million active users. Whether it will last or become another passing trend, only time will tell.
54. What makes BeReal 2.0 different from other social media platforms (2分)
__________________________________
55. According to the passage, what is one advantage and one disadvantage of the app (2分)
Advantage: __________________________________
Disadvantage: __________________________________
56. Do you think social media should show “real life” or “best moments” Why (3分)

Core Abilities
Good morning, everyone!
My name is Li Hua. It’s my great pleasure to talk about “core abilities” today.
In my opinion, life-long learning and communication are two core abilities we will need in the future.
Why do we need them First, the world is changing faster than ever. New technologies appear every day. Without life-long learning, we will soon fall behind. Second, no matter how smart we are, we cannot succeed alone. Good communication helps us work with others, solve problems, and build strong relationships.
What will I do to improve these abilities To become a life-long learner, I plan to read at least one book every month and take online courses in areas that interest me. To improve my communication, I will practice speaking in public more often and learn to listen carefully to others’ opinions.
Let’s start preparing for the future today!
That’s all for my speech. Thank you for your listening!
