I can still see myself, age 8. On a warm early summer evening, I stopped in front of a music store because
something had caught my eye. Maybe it was the shiny silver keys contrasting with the black ebony wood. I begged
my parents for a whole year, and they finally gave in and let me take lessons.
Week after week, I made the journey down city streets to the music store, where I took lessons from Mr.
Markiewicz, an older man who wasn’t particularly child-friendly. It’s an especially difficult instrument to play well
— something about breath control, managing one’s tongue and fingers, and keeping spit from blocking the works.
Getting one moving tone out of a clarinet (单簧管) is a real success. I recalled the early struggle to get that first,
clear note out of the instrument. It took about five days. And then I made every effort to practice those early scales,
accompanied by the disapproval of Mr. Markiewicz, and the shaking of his head as I hit one wrong note after
another. But I persisted. Other kids who had taken up the clarinet gave it up one by one
After college, other things took over. But my mind occasionally wandered back to the good times I’d had with
the clarinet. Yes, my dear, we were young and starry-eyed, but weren’t those happy days What happened to us
Where did they go I decided to reach out to that long-ago love and ask if she remembered me, the eager boy who
had engaged her in many a heartfelt musical conversation. So I reintroduced myself. To my great delight, what
came from the clarinet was a clear middle C that sounded so beautiful. It felt like the whole world was listening. I
continued to play as long as my mouthpiece would hold out. I lost her once and won’t lose her again.
The famous author Isaac Bashevis Singer once wrote: “In love, as in other matters, the young are just
beginners and ... the art of loving matures with age and experience.”
He must have been a clarinetist.
24. What was the author’s parents’ initial attitude to his learning clarinet
A. Supportive. B. Unwilling. C. Curious. D. Critical.
25. What kind of person can we tell the author was from his learning clarinet
A. Wholehearted and dedicated. B. Gifted but impatient.
C. Negative and passive. D. Ambitious but dependent.
26. How did the author describe his replaying clarinet
A. By comparing it to a reunion with his beloved one.
B. By recalling his fond memory with music.
C. By regretting for ignoring his passion.
D. By telling a romantic personal story.
27. What do Isaac’s words imply
A. Practice makes perfect. B. The youth own true passion.
C. Love deepens with time. D. Memory blinds judgment.

Shadows are often seen as insignificant and even annoying parts of daily life. Most people pass through them
without a second thought, never imagining that such a common and unavoidable part of nature could hold any real
practical value. However, a team of scientists has developed a creative invention that can turn shadows into a clean
and useful source of electrical power. It is called the shadow-effect energy generator, or SEG, a device that
produces electricity by making full use of the natural contrast between light and shadow.
Traditional solar panels depend heavily on bright, direct sunlight to work effectively. They often perform
poorly on cloudy days, in the early morning or late afternoon, and in shaded environments. The SEG, however,
operates in a completely different way. It works by creating a small but steady electric charge through the
difference between bright and dark areas on its surface. This special working principle allows it to keep producing
power even in weak indoor light or on overcast days, making it far more flexible and adaptable than common solar
energy tools.
The generator is thin, lightweight and low-cost. It can be easily fixed to windows, walls, phone covers and
many other daily objects without taking too much space. In the near future, it could provide steady power for small
devices such as watches, environmental sensors and street lamps. For areas with limited sunlight, it offers a simple,
practical and environmentally friendly energy solution.
Though the SEG cannot yet produce large amounts of electricity for daily family use, scientists are continuing
to improve its performance and efficiency. As the world keeps searching for more green energy choices to protect
the environment, this creative invention reminds us that even the most common and easily ignored things in life can
carry great and unexpected value.
28. What is the SEG designed to do
A. To offer protection from strong sunlight.
B. To produce electricity from light-shadow contrast.
C. To take the place of all traditional energy forms.
D. To create more shadows in indoor environments.
29. Why is the SEG more flexible than traditional solar panels
A. It costs much less to produce.
B. It can work well in weak light.
C. It produces more power in a short time.
D. It is much easier to carry around.
30. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3 about the SEG
A. It will take the place of all electricity devices.
B. It has been widely used in ordinary families.
C. It has great application space in daily life.
D. It can satisfy all daily energy needs.
31. What message does the author want to convey in the text
A. Green energy is badly needed around the world.
B. Small common things may have hidden value.
C. Scientists are making great efforts to change life.
D. Shadows are more important than direct sunlight.
D
In a study of 20,000 people, a team, led by Mathew White of a research center for environment and human
health, found that people who spent two hours a week in green spaces — local parks or other natural environments,
whether in one go or over several visits — were more likely to report good health and psychological well-being
than those who didn’t. Two hours was a hard boundary: The study, published last June, showed there were no
benefits for people who didn’t meet that standard. With the standard reached, the effects were strong.
There were also some studies conducted by other teams about nature deficit (缺 乏 ) disorder, and all the
findings pointed to the same conclusion: Nature is not only nice to have, but it’s a have-to-have for physical health
and cognitive functioning. These studies showed that time in nature — as long as people feel safe — is an
antidote for stress: It can lower blood pressure and stress hormone levels, reduce nervous system arousal, enhance
immune system function, increase self-esteem, reduce anxiety, and improve mood.
The finding came at a crucial time. Increasing concerns about the overuse of smartphones and other forms of
technology have led to a tipping point, promoting health experts, researchers, and government officials to propose
widespread changes to bring nature into people’s everyday lives.
The influence of the finding is obvious. For example, more attention has been paid to “park deserts” in cities.
More community parks have been built to help people live within a 10-minute walk of a park. More schools have
been redesigned with large windows and access to water, trees and green spaces. The number of “forest schools”,
where much of the learning takes place in natural settings in the outdoors, has mushroomed. More businesses have
provided their employees with easy access to green spaces.
Mathew White even suggested using Forest Therapy — immersing oneself in the forest for healing — to get
bigger benefits. “The forest is the therapist. And we need to deepen interaction with it to make the experience more
immersive and beneficial.”
32. What can we learn from Mathew White’s 20,000-people study
A. All participants got benefits from the study.
B. Green spaces only benefit people with diseases.
C. 2 hours a week in green spaces makes people healthier.
D. More time in green spaces reward people with better health.
33. What does the underlined word “antidote” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. A form of amusement. B. A way to solve a problem.
C. A factor causing harm. D. An advanced tool for measurement.
34. How does the author present the influence of the study in Paragraph 4
A. By giving examples. B. By listing data.
C. By analyzing causes. D. By quoting an expert.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Nature Deficit Disorder: A Research Focus
B. Forest Therapy: A New Treatment for Illness
C. Forest Schools: An Education Model Change
D. Nature Immersion: A Healing Power for Health

become at it! The following tips may help you.

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 corner of our community stands a small old shoe-repair shop run by Uncle Chen, a modest and diligent
craftsman. For more than twenty years, he has served the residents around the neighborhood wholeheartedly. He
skillfully mends worn shoes, frayed schoolbags, loose belts and all kinds of daily necessities for neighbors of all
ages. His palms are covered with thick calluses from years of hard work, but he always treats every tiny repair
earnestly, never cutting corners. In the past, the simple little shop was always bustling. Neighbors would drop by
after work or after walking their dogs, waiting for repairs and chatting casually, filling the small space with warm
and lively atmosphere.
However, as consumer attitudes change and fast fashion prevails, the traditional craft has gradually faded out
of people’s sight. Most people now prefer buying new items rather than repairing old ones. Few residents are
willing to spend time mending daily goods. The once busy shop has turned desolate. Thick dust accumulates on the
wooden tool shelves, and the old sewing machine that used to buzz all day long falls silent for weeks. On a quiet
cool afternoon, I passed by the shop and saw Uncle Chen sitting lonely in the dim light. Staring at his worn tools,
he sighed helplessly and told me that he could barely afford the shop rent. Having no stable customers, he had no
choice but to close the shop permanently.
I was deeply touched and felt a strong sense of loss. This ordinary small shop has witnessed countless warm
moments of our community and carries precious childhood memories for many of us. Refusing to let this warm
neighborhood landmark disappear silently, I resolved to take practical action to help Uncle Chen revive his little
shop.

小作文【答案 1】
Dear fellow students,
When it comes to the two themes for our class meeting, I am firmly in favor of Balancing Short Videos and
Academic Studies.
Nowadays, many of us spend too much time on short videos, which affects our focus and study efficiency.
Discussing this topic can help us realize the problem and find practical ways to manage screen time better. It is also
very relevant to our daily life, so everyone will have something to share.
I believe this topic will make our class meeting both meaningful and helpful.
Thank you for listening!
小作文【答案 2】
Dear fellow students,
When choosing between the two themes, I strongly recommend the Digital Detox Challenge.
Nowadays, many of us are addicted to phones and online apps, which leaves us little time for face-to-face
communication or deep thinking. This challenge can help us take a break from the digital world, reconnect with
real life, and focus more on our studies and offline hobbies. It is both practical and meaningful for all of us.
I believe this topic will be warmly received by everyone.
Thank you for listening!

【答案】One possible version:
Without delay, I started to think of practical ways to help the old shop. I rolled up my sleeves, swept the
dusty floor thoroughly and wiped the old sewing machine and tool shelf clean. I carefully tidied the messy needles,
threads and small tools in good order. Using colorful paper, I designed simple but eye-catching posters to show all
kinds of repair services. I also helped place some neatly mended shoes and bags outside as examples, hoping this
warm old landmark could draw people’s attention again.
My efforts soon attracted more and more neighbors to join in. Some brought their broken belongings for
repair, while others stopped to chat with Uncle Chen just like before. Several warm-hearted residents shared the
story of the old shop in the community group, calling on people to value and support traditional craftsmanship.
Gradually, the quiet shop became lively and busy once more. Seeing the relieved smile return to Uncle Chen’s face,
I truly realized that real warmth comes not from empty pity, but from active action.

W: Why Everything the teacher will talk about is in the book.
3. W: Where is Mike Did he leave school already

somewhere.
W: I’m sure he must be playing football on the playground. Let’s go to the playground first.
4. M: Come on, Ann. We’ve only got five minutes to go.
W: But I’ve got to clean the manager’s room.
M: Why not ask Susan to do it

5. W: Excuse me, sir, but can I take the No.6 bus here

W: The Lakeside Hotel.
M: Oh, you have to go across the street and take the No.6 bus over there.
6~7 M: Hi, Wanda. Did you have a good vacation
W: Yeah, we had a great time. But I have to tell you the most amazing thing happened.
M: Really What was that
W: Well, I was playing on the beach and a huge wave came along and knocked my sunglasses into the water. Those
were the expensive sunglasses Roy had given me for my birthday. Anyway, I had to have sunglasses, so I bought
another cheap pair. The next day, I was lying on the beach, sunbathing. Then, suddenly, another huge wave
completely covered me. I was so wet and…
M: Are you sure this was a good vacation
W: Yeah — but listen! When I looked down, there on the sand, right next to me, were my expensive sunglasses. I
couldn’t believe my eyes!
8~9 M: Sally, you’ve got a great painting in your office. Is it a gift for this year’s birthday
W: I’m glad you like it. Actually, it’s a Mother’s Day gift from my daughter.
M: Wow, Karen does have an eye for art. Does she work in the art field

hour you work. How does that sound
W: OK, good idea.

M: Will you be able to find your way to class today without him
W: Yeah. My sister is just over there paying for some shopping. I’m just waiting for her. When she gets back, she’ll
help me to the classroom. She’s a big help, but I really miss my dog.
M: OK, then. I’ll see you later. Don’t forget today is the day of the test.
W: I won’t. I spent half of last night doing my homework in preparation for it.
17~20 W: Have you ever wished you were better at making a conversation A great talker is someone who
connects with people and makes them feel important. When they talk to you, they make you feel you’re the only
person in the room. Becoming a good talker requires knowing three things: first, how to start a conversation;
second, how to keep it going; and third, how to end it. Starting a conversation usually means coming up with an
opening line or icebreaker. The best kind of icebreaker is one that makes people happy. Praise is always a good
