Troubled by scoliosis (脊柱侧弯) since the age of four — a condition that causes the spine (脊柱) to curve abnormally and affects roughly 100, 000 children in America each year — Anne had to wear a rigid plastic brace (支架) 19 to 22 hours a day to prevent the curve from progressing as she grew.
Most of her classmates were kind. Still, Anne often felt set apart. In quiet moments, a sense of loneliness would wash over her — she was tired of feeling different from everyone else.
That year, the Easter Bunny brought her a basket with a special doll. The doll, Chelsea, is Barbie’s sister, and she, too, wore a back brace for scoliosis. “She’s just like me!” Anne cried to her mother, Nicole, who smiled as the little girl examined every detail, right down to the doll’s curved spine. Anne played with Chelsea every day, bringing the doll everywhere. She felt a sisterhood with another girl like her.
Weeks later, Anne voiced a heartfelt wish: “Mom, I wish all girls with scoliosis could have this doll so they don’t ever feel alone either.” Nicole saw renewed determination in her daughter’s eyes and helped turn the idea into a family mission. Anne’s twin brother and her dad all jumped in to help. They launched their efforts by starting a lemonade stand during a neighborhood sale, and then created a GoFundMe page on the Internet.
After a local news station featured their story, the doll’s maker stepped in to support the cause, supplying all the dolls they needed. What began as a goal to donate 50 dolls quickly grew beyond expectation. Now 11 years old, Anne and her family have donated more than 870 Chelsea dolls to hospitals nationwide, bringing smiles to countless children.
“Even if you feel alone, you’re not,” she shared. “Everybody has something. It’s what you do with it that matters — so choose to help others to be strong in their journey.”
4. What troubled Anne with scoliosis
A. Her classmates didn’t talk to her. B. She felt like an outsider.
C. She couldn’t attend school like others. D. Her curving spine made her tired.
5. Why did Anne love the Chelsea doll so much
A. It was rare and delicate. B. It looked like her lovely sister.
C. It mirrored her situation. D. It was a gift given by her sister.
6. How did Anne’s family first raise money
A. By selling lemonade online. B. By running a drink stand.
C. By applying for a webpage. D. By organizing a neighborhood sale.
7. What message did Anne want to convey through the dolls
A. Fortune favors the brave. B. Charity begins at home.
C. Be the light you want to see. D. Stay positive when facing difficulty.
C
Through evolution, animals have developed numerous ways to protect themselves from predators (捕食者). Turtles hide in their shells, and skunks (臭鼬) use smelly liquid. But these defenses don’t work against cars. Environmental journalist Ben Goldfarb explains, “When facing a car, these defenses are useless — or even harmful. Staying still is the worst choice. Roadkill is a serious threat to wildlife.”
Roads also act as barriers, preventing animals from moving freely. The constant traffic on highways creates what scientists call a “moving fence”— a wall of vehicles that animals avoid crossing. While we often see dead animals like deer or squirrels on roads, we don’t see the ones that never try to cross. This isolation can harm animal populations more than roadkill itself.
Chemicals from roads also damage the environment. Every year, the U. S. uses 20 million tons of road salt to melt ice, which pollutes nearby soil and plants. Cars release metals like zinc and copper, and tires leave behind microplastics. These pollutants make roadsides dangerous for creatures like monarch butterflies, even though these areas could otherwise be good habitats.
Roadsides sometimes attract animals with food like flowers or berries, but this becomes an “ecological trap”. Animals are drawn to these resources, only to face the danger of traffic.
Interestingly, when traffic decreases, animals quickly adapt. Researchers in the Bay Area found that when cars disappeared for months, white-crowned sparrows — small songbirds — started singing more complex and varied songs. Without traffic noise, they no longer needed to “shout” and could return to their natural behaviors. This shows how much roads affect wildlife — but also how adaptable animals can be.
Despite these challenges, Goldfarb says, certain species have made remarkable adaptations. He notes that Chicago’s urban foxes are said to look both ways before crossing the street. “We think about roads as these forces that are universally or exclusively harmful to animals, and certainly they’re incredibly destructive,” he says. “But wildlife is also impressively adaptive and clever and animals are finding ways to make a living in our midst.”
8. How does the author start the text in the first paragraph
A. By stating a reason. B. By providing statistics.
C. By defining a concept. D. By giving examples.
9. What harmful impact do roads have on wildlife
A. Less food supply. B. Restricted movement.
C. Increased predators. D. Species extinction.
10. What can we infer from Goldfarb’s words in the last paragraph
A. Roads are not truly harmful to wildlife.
B. Urban foxes seldom get hit by vehicles.
C. Animals adapt cleverly to dangerous roads.
D. Wildlife protection deserves highest attention.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage
A. To advocate reducing traffic.
B. To preserve wildlife diversity.
C. To analyze roads’ effects on wildlife.
D. To highlight roadkill danger to animals.
D
When someone loses weight, people notice, comment, and ask how. The question implies that whatever method they used is worth knowing, reproducing, or admiring. It positions weight loss as an achievement, a moral victory, a signal of discipline or virtue. But what if their weight loss came from grief, stress, depression or a medication that finally brought balance to their body chemistry
Our curiosity about how someone lost weight is rarely neutral. Often, it’s rooted in our own insecurity or desire for control. We want to know what works — because culturally, we’ve been taught that managing our bodies is a lifelong project. When we see someone “succeed,” we want the recipe. However, rather than self- improvement projects, our bodies are complex ecosystems — shaped by genetics, hormones, health conditions, socioeconomic factors, medications, and emotions. When we reduce someone’s body to a before- and- after story, we dehumanize them into an object lesson.
The recent explosion of GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro has made this question even more controversial. Many people assume any visible change must be drug- related, and they ask with hardly disguised judgment or envy. “Did you use one of those medications ” has become the new “Did you get work done ” The subtext is clear: Did you earn this, or did you cheat
This framing is not only prejudiced — it’s unscientific. GLP-1 medications are legal medical treatments for conditions like diabetes (糖尿病), metabolic dysfunction, and obesity. Shame has no place in a conversation about health or healing. Yet we’ve moralized weight loss to such an extent that even those who find life-changing relief through medication are made to feel guilty or defensive for it.
We live in a society enthusiastic about Cinderella stories. Weight loss is still treated like a transformation myth. But health and self-worth are not determined by body size, and accomplishments shouldn’t be measured in pounds. When we cease looking into how people lost weight, we start to undo a small but powerful part of that narrative. We give others and ourselves permission to exist without explanation, justification, or public commentary on our bodies.
12. Why do people ask about weight loss methods
A. To manage their desire for control.
B. To address their own body image anxiety.
C. To identify effects of weight medications.
D. To study human body ecosystems closely.
13. What does the underlined word “framing” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Avoiding controversial questions.
B. Building support structures.
C. Labelling medication as cheating.
D. Misjudging health conditions.
14. Which statement would the author probably agree with
A. Weight loss signals discipline and virtue.
B. Medications are universal health solutions.
C. Dieters should defend their own rights.
D. Self-worth is independent of body size.
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. Celebrating Body Changes
B. Psychology of Losing Weight
C. Stop Judging Weight Loss
D. Medical Solutions to Overweight

The Power of Small Steps
In a world that often celebrates big achievements and overnight success, it’s easy to overlook the power of small, consistent steps. Many of us set grand goals, only to feel discouraged when progress is slow or invisible, failing to realise that lasting success is rarely built in a flash. ____16____
Small steps are the building blocks of great things. Think about how a seed grows into a tall tree. It doesn’t happen in a day. ____17____ Every day, it absorbs sunlight and water, pushing its roots deeper into the soil, until one day, it stands tall and strong, a proof of patience and persistence (坚持). Our goals are like that seed — they need time and daily care.
____18____ For example, if your goal is to improve your English, reading a short passage every day is better than trying to finish a thick book in one weekend. The former builds a habit; the latter often leads to burnout. Consistency is key, and small steps make consistency possible by keeping the task manageable.
Another advantage of small steps is that they reduce anxiety. When you take on a huge task, it’s natural to feel nervous. ____19____ However, breaking it into small steps helps. You’ll feel a sense of accomplishment with each small win, which will motivate you to keep going. This positive cycle can turn even the most difficult goal into something manageable.
Small steps teach a growth lesson. ____20____ So, the next time you’re faced with a big goal, don’t be afraid to start small. Remember, every great journey begins with a single step.
A. Small steps help form good habits.
B. We may even give up before starting.
C. Work on the huge task a little bit daily.
D. It changes quietly and steadily underground.
E. But small steps have the power to change this.
F. Small steps can by no means change the situation.
G. They remind us that progress, not perfection, is what matters.

My sister and I recently travelled back from Portugal. Among our memories, one experience ____21____.

____25____ to leave empty-handed, we made a final attempt on the last day. However, contradictory directions from passers-by only deepened our ____26____. As dusk fell, shopkeepers were packing up, streets quieting, and hope fading. Wet from another shower and with a torn map, we felt even more ____27____.
Then, a blind turn led us to a narrow street where a store drew our attention. My sister stopped to ____28____ the map, and I glanced at the signs — “That’s it” I ____29____.
The owner looked up, smiled, and ____30____ us in. Inside, floor-to-ceiling bookshelves lined the walls. As I ran my fingers along the bookshelves, a hardcover caught my eye. Just as I ____31____ for it, another hand brushed against the cover. “You like it too ” a woman smiled. As the bookstore’s regular, she instantly ____32____ with me and I told her our ____33____ search. The owner, overhearing our story, stepped over and ____34____ us with two copies of the book, each signed by the author. “For those truly appreciating it,” he said. My sister captured the moment as we exchanged email, promising to share reflections on the book later.
Detours didn’t ruin our trip; instead, they led us to the priceless ____35____ — the places and the people we are meant to meet.

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。
At the library, Nate Jasper noticed a sign for the “First Annual Highland Drawing Contest.” It asked for artwork showing the unique beauty of their town. Noticing his interest, the librarian, Ms. Kim, handed him a flyer. “The winning drawings will be displayed right here in the library,” she added.
Sitting on the library steps outside, Nate was lost in thought. He had always loved art. He could never have too many sketchpads (素描本) and crayons. “I have to enter this contest!” he said to himself.
But something troubled him. Years of living in the small town had convinced him that it was a dull place. “There’s nothing special about it — only ordinary farms, animals, and trees!” he frowned. “What will I draw ”
Just then, Briana Williams, a new girl in his class who had just moved from Houston, a large modern city in Texas, walked out. Spotting Nate, she sat down beside him and noticed the flyer. “A drawing contest That sounds fun!”
“Not really,” Nate sighed. “Trust me, this town is a big bore.”
Briana looked surprised. “Well, everything here may seem boring to you, but to me, it’s all new! I’d love to see more of it. Show me around sometime. And bring your sketchpad — you might find something worth drawing.”
The next Saturday, they wandered down a quiet lane together. Briana stopped beneath a large maple and gazed up in awe. Nate paused beside her. At first, it felt strange to admire a tree he’d passed a hundred times. But as he followed her gaze, the sun was shining through the branches, turning the red and yellow leaves into a sea of burning gold.
“There’s nowhere this quiet and pretty in Houston,” Briana said softly.
Nate felt something clicked in his mind. Highland wasn’t a big bore — he was just too used to it. He began to wonder what other hidden beauty was waiting to be discovered.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Inspired, Nate suggested they visit his Grandpa’s farm.

Hello guys! I’m inclined to share my social practice at a nearby vegetable base last Saturday, which turned my textbook knowledge of labor into real-life learning.
Guided by local farmers, we watered crisp lettuce, cleared stubborn weeds, and sorted plump tomatoes.Besides, we also learned to identify crop pests, use organic compost, and joined a mini soil fertility workshop.
Not only did the experience teach me every bite of food stems from persistent care, but it also revealed that growth thrives amid the sweat of the field. It is these hands-on experiences that let us taste harvest joy and build a down-to-earth mindset.
Drop your story below!
【答案】Possible Version
Inspired, Nate suggested they visit his Grandpa’s farm. Briana’s eyes lit up, and the two set off right away. When they arrived, Briana gasped, “This is amazing!” Her wonder was infectious — Nate looked around, feeling as if he were seeing the farm for the first time. Golden wheat fields swayed in the breeze like a rolling ocean, fluffy sheep grazing peacefully in the sunlight. He stood there, completely captivated. Then, Briana gently nudged him. “You should draw this, Nate. It’s a perfect scene.” That was it. Nate pulled out his sketchpad immediately, his pencil dancing across the paper. As his painting took shape, he wondered why he had never thought to draw the farm before.Once he looked closely, it really was a fascinating place. By sunset, his sketchpad was filled with lively drawings.
On the day of the award ceremony, the library was crowded. Local residents gathered around, buzzing with anticipation. Nate stood nervously among them, his heart pounding. Ms. Kim stepped onto the stage. “Every drawing captures the unique beauty of our town,” she said warmly, “but one work truly stood out.” She paused, and then announced Nate’s name. He walked up in disbelief, hands trembling as he accepted the award. The audience applauded loudly, and Briana waved at him from the crowd, beaming with pride. Nate stepped back, looking at his winning piece on the wall — a vivid scene of Grandpa’s farm bathed in golden sunlight. A warm smile spread across his face — beauty had always been there, and sometimes all it took was a pair of fresh eyes to see it.
