EU Countries Set New Clean Energy Records in 2025
In 2025, the European Union (EU) took an enormous step forward towards a clean power system backed by wind and solar. Here’s the breakdown of electricity generation shares in the EU in 2025.
The EU’s electricity transition reached a new milestone, with wind and solar generating more power than fossil (化石) fuels. A closer look at the data reveals the following highlights:
● 369 TWh. EU solar generation reached a record 369 TWh, 20% higher than that in 2024.
● 47.6%. The weather conditions boosted solar generation, with renewables providing nearly half of EU power (47.6%). Wind remained the second largest EU electricity source at 16.9% of EU power, above gas.
● 30.1%. Wind and solar generated a record 30.1% of EU electricity, higher than fossil power for the first time on record. Wind and solar generated more electricity than fossil fuels in 14 of the 27 EU countries.
● 9.2%. Coal power fell to a new historic low of 9.2%. In 19 EU countries, coal power was at less than 5%.
This milestone moment shows just how quickly things are changing in the EU’s power industry. By investing across the power system to employ the potential of batteries, grids and electrified tech, the EU is trying its best to make use of homegrown renewable power to stabilize prices and ensure energy consumption and security.
1．What is the percentage of power generated from non-renewables in 2025

Teaching is my favorite job ever. Part of the reason is that I get to teach something I’m passionate about. But that’s more about me, not my students. The reason why I love teaching writing to my students is that it feels like I’m helping them learn how to really think for the first time and that’s an exciting experience for them.
I regularly teach writing fundamentals to our freshmen. I often make them read excerpts (摘录) from “boring” literature and then instruct them to write based on reading. They are often considered “terrible writers” so they have AI write their essays just to pass my “stupid class”.
It is true that nobody can deny how amazingly efficient AI is. It’s masterful at writing clear, informative, and grammatically sound text in seconds provided your instruction is detailed enough. However, relying on AI to do our writing is not just lazy and dishonest; it also means we are giving up our unique human insight in exchange for a simulated (模拟的) human environment based on the average of millions of people.
In fact, the governance of AI within higher education is presently in complete disorder: no one seems to agree on when and how to use it; it’s almost impossible to definitively prove that writing is AI-generated since the detection tools vary wildly in their assessments; and there’s no agreement on how to punish its misuse even within a single department at a given university. In short, we’re living in an era of the wild west of AI right now.
I explain to my students that writing is a process of making the subconscious conscious — of bringing half — baked assumptions, prejudices, inspirations, ideas, anxieties, and hopes to the surface. Often, we don’t know what we believe until we start writing. We put our feelings and experiences into words, stories, and even arguments, and through that tough process, we begin to feel truly human.
4．What can be inferred about the author’s attitude toward teaching writing
A．Simple but uninteresting. B．Fruitless but relaxing.
C．Challenging but rewarding. D．Complex but effective.
5．What does the underlined phrase “the wild west of AI” in paragraph 4 mean
A．Unregulated and messy AI use. B．Wide AI application in writing.
C．AI-driven educational changes. D．Limited use of AI detection tools.
6．What is the purpose of writing according to the author
A．To question fixed ideas. B．To discover our true selves.
C．To enhance storytelling skills. D．To remove personal prejudices.
7．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Writing Today: A Challenging Task B．AI-assisted Writing: Losing Our Insight
C．Teaching Writing: Fighting Against AI D．AI in Education: A Blessing or a Disaster
A baby rabbit has recently started hanging out in my backyard. Every now and then, it nibbles (啃) on plants or lies in the sun. Most of the time, it runs around sharply and rushes into corners so wildly that dirt flies up in messy circles. A human child acting this way would probably be made by their parents to clean up the yard and stay indoors. If only more children could be as lucky as rabbits.
In fact, most young people today do not enjoy such freedom of movement. The World Health Organization reports that 81 percent of teenagers around the world take insufficient exercise, and it adds that the number of young people who stay still for long hours usually goes up with economic growth.
There are reasons for this phenomenon. Many children lack access to woods, fields, and other open spaces where they might play freely, while others are restricted from such activities by their parents. In the United States, many parents routinely limit their children’s rough play due to safety concerns or the influence of social standards, which require kids to stay quiet in public places like waiting rooms, subways, stores and restaurants. However, this preference for calm behavior may wrongly suggest that inactivity is better, despite the fact that physical movement is particularly important for children’s development.
Research has found that children who move have healthier bones, muscles, and joints, and a lower future risk of being overweight or getting viral infections; active kids also develop superior cognitive (认知的) skills, earn better grades, and are more likely to stay on task than kids who are less active. And a recently published study that examined teenage depression among English youth suggested that increased sedentary (久坐的) behavior in youth could affect a person’s mental health into adulthood.
Thankfully, providing kids with more freedom doesn’t require much money. Mostly, it just requires a little creativity. For example, parents can let kids play freely on a cheap yoga ball or do simple movement challenges.
8．How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1
A．By making a contrast. B．By telling a story.
C．By defining a concept. D．By showing a trend.
9．What may lead to kids’ inactivity according to paragraph 3
A．Children’s preference. B．Parents’ busy routine.
C．Children’s quiet nature. D．Parents’ overprotection.
10．What advantage may physically active kids have according to the text
A．Lower death risk. B．Stronger social skills.
C．Greater mood swings. D．Better attention control.
11．Which statement will the author probably agree with
A．Discipline comes before freedom. B．Academic success relies on quietness.
C．Safety outweighs physical activity. D．Physical activity promotes well-being.
Scientists have long believed that around 700 million years ago, Earth experienced extreme cold conditions, known as a “snowball Earth”, where ice stretched from the poles to the equator. However, the exact degree of this coldness had remained unclear. Now, an international research team led by Chinese scientists has made a major breakthrough by providing the first data-based measurements of ocean temperatures from that period.
The findings, published recently in a journal, suggested that ocean temperatures at continental edges were roughly between -22℃ and -8℃. These areas were where life was most active. The seawater was also up to four times saltier than modern ocean water. “This is the coldest measured ocean temperature in Earth’s history,” said Lu Kai, first author of the study and researcher from the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
This extreme cold period left behind special rocks: rusty (生锈的) red iron formations found where continental glaciers (冰川) met the ice - covered seas. The researchers used these rocks to measure ancient temperatures. They focused on iron isotopes (同位素) — different forms of iron atoms (原子). These isotopes change in a regular pattern as temperature changes, making them reliable for temperature measurement. By analyzing the iron isotopes in the rocks, the team figured out how cold the ancient ocean was. The results showed that the surface seawater temperature was much lower than today’s 17℃, yet it remained unfrozen.
Lu explained that this extreme environment was likely to have formed at the base of massive ice shelves. During the melting (融化) and freezing cycles, ice pushes out salts, which build up over time. This creates salt-rich areas with extremely low temperatures. The high salt environment serves as a natural antifreeze, allowing seawater to stay liquid at temperatures far below the normal freezing point.
“This discovery helps us understand how early life survived in such extreme climates,” Lu said. “It provides the first solid evidence of the marine environment during that era and serves as a valuable reference for understanding dramatic climate changes and how early life adapted to challenging conditions.”
12．What was uncertain about the “snowball Earth” period before Lu’s study
A．The most active areas for life. B．The timing of that period.
C．The precise ocean temperature. D．The coverage of ice on Earth.
13．What made iron isotopes a useful measuring tool in the study
A．Their stability in cold environments. B．Their regular change with temperature.
C．Their formation under salty condition. D．Their widespread presence in the rocks.
14．Why does the seawater remain unfrozen in the extreme cold
A．Massive ice shelves trap heat. B．Marine life speeds up glacier melting.
C．Salt lowers the freezing point. D．Melting-freezing cycles release energy.
15．What does Lu say about the discovery
A．It defines an era. B．It reveals changes.
C．It predicts climate. D．It proves evolution.
We make thousands of decisions every day. Some are small and routine, while others can influence our studies, relationships, or future plans. 16 The following steps can help you make clear, informed, and defensible choices.
Start by clarifying the issue at hand. What’s the actual question you’re trying to answer Who is responsible for a decision, and more importantly, is it even your decision to make 17 Don’t shoulder a responsibility that isn’t yours, or get distracted (干扰) by a different line of thought.
Explore all options, especially the uncomfortable ones. 18 Don’t discount an option just because it feels unlikely, unrealistic, or hard. Sometimes the best solution appears only after you have considered ideas that seem unusual at first. Giving all options a fair shot and thinking them through carefully is what philosophers call the “principle of charity”.
19 You don’t have to make tough decisions alone, and you are often not the only person involved or impacted. Who else might bring insight, lived experience, or a different perspective to this issue Discussions help you identify your blind spots, uncover values you haven’t considered, and check your own personal biases that may be unconsciously influencing your decision — making process.
The goal is a thoughtful decision: one you can explain clearly, stand behind confidently, and live with over time. 20 Remember: sometimes there is no ideal answer; what matters most is that your decision reflects sound reasoning, principled judgment, and the courage to act on what you believe is right.
A．Identify possible options.
B．Seek out other perspectives.
C．Once the issue is clear, map out every possible path.
D．To make a decision is not about making the perfect one.
E．How do you usually handle difficult choices in your daily life
F．How do you know if the decision you’re making is the right one
G．Clarifying these helps ensure that you are working on the right problem.

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。
Jane sat with her best friend Emma, sharing photos from her family camping trips. Shy by nature, Jane had a quiet passion for photography, and her camera never failed to work magic — capturing the rolling mountains, breathtaking sunrises, and even the funny moment when the tent collapsed with her sister inside. Getting those shots had not been easy. As her father always encouraged her, “The best view comes after the hardest climb, my sweetie.”
“I bet no one in class can take photos like you,” Emma’s tone softened when she noticed Jane frowned (皱眉). “But you look down. What’s wrong ” Letting out a long sigh, Jane explained that she was anxious about Mrs. Marshall’s presentation task.
Mrs. Marshall, their English teacher, was popular yet strict. Every student was required to give a five — minute speech to earn course credits. But to Jane, public speaking was a total nightmare (噩梦). Just thinking about standing on stage made her freeze. She got nervous even raising her hand in class, let alone speaking to a full room. Worse still, she felt she had nothing interesting or meaningful to share.
Resting her head in her hands, Jane whispered in frustration that she had only two days left and still had no clue where to start. Concerned, Emma suggested she turn to Mrs. Marshall for advice.
The next day, Jane went to Mrs. Marshall’s office and talked about her worries. After listening patiently, Mrs. Marshall patted (轻拍) her shoulder gently. “Jane, it’s perfectly normal to feel nervous,” she said, leaning in slightly. “You don’t have to prepare anything fancy. Just be brave and share what you love. Good things come when you try your best.” She nodded quietly, thanked her teacher, and walked out of the office with a lighter step. On her way home, Mrs. Marshall’s words kept going through her head.

Our Eco — Friendly Handicraft: From Waste to Wonder
Good morning, everyone! I’m Li Hua. It’s my great honor to share our eco-friendly handicraft with you on behalf of my group.
We made a model garden using waste cardboard, plastic bottles and old cloth. We cleaned, cut and connected them carefully to make it look lively and natural. Every part of our work comes from daily waste, showing that rubbish can be turned into valuable art.
This activity is really meaningful. It makes us realize the importance of recycling and green living. It also develops our creativity and teamwork spirit. We hope more students will join us in protecting the environment and making our world better.
Thanks for your attention!

Suddenly, an idea occurred to Jane. Why not share her camping photos and the stories behind them She grabbed her camera, flipping through shots of mountain sunrises and her sister’s collapsed tent. Each photo held warm memories: waking at 5 a.m. in the cold to chase the perfect sunrise, her father’s words pushing her on. Jane’s nerves faded as she organized the photos into a slideshow, jotting down simple notes for each moment.
The next morning, Jane brought her photos to school. When her turn came, her hands trembled at first, but as she projected the golden sunrise, her voice steadied. She told the class about the hard climb and her father’s encouragement, earning quiet attention. When she finished, the room burst into applause. Mrs. Marshall smiled and praised her for sharing something true to herself. Jane felt a rush of pride — public speaking wasn’t so scary when she talked about what she loved.
