In my Indian immigrant home, storytelling was more than entertainment — it was the thread connecting me to a world I had never seen. Each night, my grandmother’s tales of Mumbai, of vibrant festivals, and especially of my grandfather whom I never met, wove a bridge between our old heritage and new American life.
One story remains most vivid: my grandfather's Janmashtami celebrations. He would spend weeks crafting a wooden cradle for Lord Krishna from a backyard mango tree, decorating it with flowers and lamps before inviting the whole community to share in singing, feasting, and joy. Through my grandmother's words, I could almost see his calloused hands and kind smile — and what began as a memory became my own window into his world.
Those stories did more than preserve the past; they anchored me in the present. Growing up in America, where I sometimes felt like an outsider, they gave me roots and a deep pride in my heritage. At the same time, navigating school and Western values taught me independence and self-reliance. Slowly, I realized my identity did not require choosing one culture over the other, but could embrace both — the collective memory of my family and the individual aspirations nurtured here.
Now a mother myself, I share these same stories with my children, just as my parents and grandmother once did. I see now what I couldn’t as a child: in immigrant families, storytelling is not merely tradition — it is an act of cultural preservation, a way to strengthen bonds across generations and geographies, and a gentle but powerful force that shapes who we become. As our world grows more interconnected, these personal narratives remain essential, reminding us where we come from while guiding us toward where we are going.
4．What role did the author’s grandmother’s stories play in their family
A．Hardship relief. B．Bedtime entertainment.
C．Religious explanation. D．Cultural connection.
5．Why does the author specifically mention the story of Janmashtami
A．To criticize modern festival ways.
B．To link her to grandfather’s world.
C．To guide festival rituals step-by-step.
D．To compare Indian and American holidays.
6．What does the underlined word “anchored” in Paragraph 3 mean
A．settled. B．liberated. C．isolated. D．restricted.
7．How does the author organize the ideas in the passage
A．By contrasting two family traditions.
B．By linking past experiences to present.
C．By arguing for school cultural education.
D．By analyzing immigration history pattern.
Few people like the low spirits brought by winter in far northern or southern areas. Up to one in ten people may get a type of depression called seasonal affective disorder (SAD) because of the long dark nights. Antidepressant drugs may help, but they often have side effects. Many people choose to fix the root problem by buying bright light devices, hoping to drive away the low feelings that cause SAD．
These devices come in different shapes, from normal desk lamps to ones like a tablet on a stand. Many doctors suggest them as the first choice for treating SAD．However, testing how well these lamps work is not easy. In drug tests, it is simple to give some patients real medicine and others a fake sugar pill. But for light therapy tests, it would mean stopping a large group of people from seeing any daylight-like light for a long time. This is only possible in places like hospitals, so most studies use less strict ways to check results.
Even so, the results look good. A 2025 review from China said light therapy does work, and a March review from Romania found that 60-90% of patients feel better with daily use.
As for which devices are the most effective, those that emit predominantly blue, green or white light all seem to have a similar impact. And intensity may be less important than the claims made in lamp advertising. Many boast that they can reach brightness of around 10,000 lux — far brighter than standard indoor lighting, and closer to the outdoors on a reasonably nice day. But less intense light seems to work, too, though the lamp may need to be on for longer.
Side effects are rare, though a few people get headaches or eye discomfort. Research also shows light therapy helps people with other types of depression. It works for 44% of patients alone, and 76% when combined with drugs. For those with winter depression, the solution maybe as simple as turning on a special lamp.
8．What is the root cause of SAD
A．Winter’s arrival. B．Antidepressant drugs.
C．Lack of light. D．Effects of depression.
9．Why is it hard to test the effect of light therapy
A．It’s less likely to meet standards of the test.
B．It is impossible to find enough test volunteers.
C．The devices are too expensive for most studies.
D．Doctors are against doing tests on light therapy.
10．What can we learn about light therapy devices from the text
A．Blue and white lights have similar effects.
B．Lower brightness requires longer exposure.
C．Tablet-shaped devices are the most effective.
D．Devices must reach 10,000 lux to be effective.
11．What is the author’s attitude towards light therapy
A．Opposed. B．Biased. C．Neutral. D．Favorable.
Many leaders often confuse “niceness” with effective leadership. They avoid tough conversations and decisions just to keep others from feeling uncomfortable. But in the end, this harms team performance and weakens organizational value. A case in point: a leading electronics company had a very supportive, relationship-focused culture. However, this led to underperforming employees getting the same rewards as top performers. As a result, team members felt unfair and dissatisfied, and overall productivity dropped sharply.
Leaders who are too “nice” usually want to avoid conflicts. But they mix up two different ideas: being nice and being kind. As a recent Harvard Business Review article points out, kindness means being firm when necessary and giving honest response. In contrast, niceness only cares about avoiding discomfort at all costs. True leadership requires kindness, not just niceness, to build a strong and productive team.
However, examples of good leadership instead of an overly nice one are not panies like Costco pair high wages with strict performance standards, driving excellent results. One survey of 18,000 nonprofit employees found that managers who always gave constructive advice could lift employees’ feedback-related satisfaction by 5 points in a year. A drug company invited staff to reapply for roles or take money to leave, resulting in a more motivated team that accelerated clinical trial progress. Apple’s Steve Jobs famously cut the company’s annual priorities to just three, and a tech company’s R&D chief used clear rules to end unpromising projects, removing resources to viable initiatives.
Transitioning from nice to good leadership demands courage and persistence. Many leaders avoid tough choices to keep harmony, but true leadership means facing difficult decisions head-on. This shift benefits both individuals and the organization long-term, creating a culture where people feel valued and motivated to do their best.
12．What causes team performance decline according in Paragraph 1
A．Strict work rules. B．Difficult decisions.
C．Leaders’ confidence. D．Overly nice leadership.
13．What does true kindness involve according to the Harvard Business Review article
A．Avoiding all conflicts.
B．Ignoring team strength.
C．Including frank feedback.
D．Equaling shallow niceness.
14．Which of the following can be classified as “good leadership”
A．Proposing lots of annual initiatives.
B．Saying “No” to low-priority projects.
C．Motivating certain employees to work
D．Making loose performance regulations.
15．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Nice, Not Kind. B．Lead, Not Please.
C．Avoid, Not Face. D．Strict, Not harmonious.
Intergenerational social mobility, the transfer of socioeconomic status between parents and children, is a key indicator of a society’s fairness. 16 Recent research in 40 countries shows that educational equity is the foundation stone of upward mobility.
Children from low-income families often face systemic barriers to quality education, such as underfunded schools and lack of access to tutoring. 17 This creates a cycle where disadvantage is passed down through generations.
18 Nevertheless, targeted policies can break this cycle. For example, Finland’s comprehensive education system, which emphasizes equal resources and teacher training, has narrowed the achievement gap between rich and poor students. 19 Similarly, Singapore’s merit-based scholarship programs have enabled talented students from low-income backgrounds to attend top universities.
20 Moreover, community initiatives, like after-school mentorship programs, play a vital role in supporting students’ academic and personal growth. These efforts not only boost individual mobility but also strengthen social cohesion by reducing inequality.
Educators, policymakers, and families must collaborate to create an environment where every child, regardless of background, has the opportunity to succeed. Such collective action can turn the dream of equal social mobility into a reality for future generations.
A．Such a story of policy-driven success is not unique.
B．Educational equity has become a global concern in recent years.
C．Beyond government policies, community support is also essential.
D．Many countries are struggling to address the issue of educational inequality.
E．Intergenerational social mobility has long been a focus of sociological research.
F．This cycle of disadvantage seems difficult to change without external intervention.
G．Without equal access to education, their chances of upward mobility are greatly reduced.

Scientists announced a major breakthrough 36 (involve) the use of underwater loudspeakers to help rebuild damaged coral reefs last week.
The experiment 37 (conduct) off the coast of Australia, based on a simple principle: a healthy reef is a noisy reef. Young fish depend on these sounds to locate their homes. However, reefs 38 (degrade) by climate change and pollution become “silent.”
To solve this, researchers placed speakers on patches of dead coral to broadcast recordings of a healthy, thriving reef. The result was 39 (remarkable) encouraging. The number of fish arriving and settling in the area doubled compared 40 areas without sound. What’s more, the fish species that came helped to clean the reef 41 promote new coral growth, creating a positive cycle of 42 (recover).
Dr. Leah Williams, 43 led the project, explained, “This ‘acoustic enrichment’ offers a practical tool for reef restoration. It’s like playing the sounds of a vibrant city 44 (attract) people back to a deserted town.”
While not 45 single solution to the global coral crisis, this innovative method provides a much-needed piece of hope and a new weapon in the fight to save our oceans.

五、书面表达
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。
Clara loves hiking and she is referred to as an experienced hike who has explored many mountains. However, the unusual forest hiking that winter morning presented a new adventure.
Remembering the advice her old mentor (导师) — “Always prepare for the unexpected” — she carefully packed her backpack with warm clothes, a GPS device, a headlamp, a well-stocked first-aid kit, a compass, and a detailed paper map. Feeling both excited and confident, she stepped into the woods.
The first hour was peaceful. Suddenly, a low grunt (咕噜声) broke the silence. From behind bushes emerged a wild boar, its sharp teeth shining dangerously. Clara’s heart raced. Instinctively, she turned and ran. In her panic, her foot caught on a hidden rock, sending her tumbling to the ground. A sharp pain shot through her left ankle. Worse still her GPS slipped from her grasp, disappearing into a deep crack between stones.
Holding her breath, Clara hid behind a large rock until the boar’s heavy footsteps faded. But safety was temporary. As she examined her rapidly swelling ankle, thick white fog began creeping between the trees. Within minutes, visibility dropped dramatically — the familiar path disappeared into the white haze. She realized with growing fear that she was lost in what had become a dangerous maze.
Trembling in the deepening cold, Clara sat on the ground, fighting rising panic. She looked at her backpack beside her. Inside lay her tools and supplies — now her only hope. Her mentor’s words echoed in her mind: “When technology fails, trust your basics.” She knew she must find a way out before complete darkness consumed the forest.
注意：(1)续写词数应为150个左右；
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Taking a deep breath, Clara opened her backpack.

47． Taking a deep breath, Clara opened her backpack. She took out the compass and the detailed paper map, her hands steady despite the trembling inside. With the compass in one hand and the map spread out on her lap, she carefully oriented herself. Using the map as a guide, she decided to head towards a spot where a stream was marked, hoping it would lead her to safety. She began to move slowly and cautiously through the fog.
Clara feeling her way ahead, a small stream came into view. The sound of flowing water was a welcome relief. She followed the stream downstream, knowing that it would eventually lead her to a larger body of water or a populated area. As she walked, the pain in her ankle grew more intense, but her determination kept her going. Exhausted but relieved, Clara continued along the path. With renewed energy, she quickened her pace, knowing that she was no longer lost in the dangerous maze of the forest.
