2025 has witnessed a wealth of outstanding books across genres (类型), attracting readers worldwide with interesting stories and thoughtful insights. Below are four must-read titles that have left a significant mark.
Sunrise on the Reaping
By Suzanne Collins
The long-awaited prequel (前传) to the Hunger Games series has become a global hit, selling over 4 million copies. Set 24 years before the first book, it explores the origins of the cruel and tightly controlled world loved by fans.

In 1962, American biologist Rachel Carson published Silent Spring, a book that would change how people viewed nature. It warned that the harmful and uncontrolled use of pesticides (杀虫剂) was poisoning the environment and could lead to a silent spring without birdsongs. The book caused immediate debate. Chemical companies campaigned against it strongly, as Carson’s warnings threatened their established and profitable practices. Despite this opposition, the book raised global awareness about how easily nature can be harmed.
Carson’s deep connection to nature began in her childhood in Pennsylvania, where she explored the woods and streams near her home. This passion led her to study biology, which gave her the scientific knowledge she would later use in her writing.
Before Silent Spring, Carson was a marine biologist and writer. She spent four years carefully researching for the book, gathering evidence from scientific studies and talking to farmers and fishermen who had seen the effects of pesticides. She built a strong argument based on data and personal accounts.
Knowing her work would be criticized, Carson believed the public had the right to know the truth. She continued her efforts even while she was sick, and she died in 1964. However, her influence lived on. Silent Spring inspired the modern environmental movement, led to the ban of DDT in the U.S., and made sure her legacy would last as a pioneering environmentalist.
24. Why did chemical companies campaign against Silent Spring
A. They found numerous scientific errors in the book.
B. Carson’s warnings posed a threat to their business interests.
C. They believed the book would confuse the general public.
D. Carson refused to share her research data with them.
25. How did Carson’s personal background contribute to her environmental work
A. Her career as a writer provided her with the funding needed for research.
B. Her work as a marine biologist directly exposed her to pesticide pollution.
C. Her family’s farm gave her practical experience in using agricultural chemicals.
D. Her childhood experiences and formal education in biology shaped her advocacy.
26. The text suggests that Carson’s research for the book was characterized by its ________.
A. comprehensiveness and sources variety
B. reliance on government reports
C. focus on theoretical models
D. speed and efficiency
27. What is the main idea of the text
A. The scientific process behind banning DDT.
B. The debate between environmentalists and chemical companies.
C. The history of pesticide use in the United States.
D. A book and the lasting impacts of Rachel Carson.
C
It was the summer before junior year. I was a waitress at a little restaurant. My duties were straightforward: taking orders, delivering food and cleaning tables. I got really good at managing multiple tasks, and having a lot of responsibilities made me more responsible.
These values and skills are what numerous studies hold up as the important reasons why teenagers should work during the summer. They’re what teachers mention when they encourage us to get jobs. I developed those skills. But I don’t think that’s the main benefit high school students get from working.
So much happened in the interstitial (空隙的) time and spaces between our roles as waitresses, cooks and customers. This is where I think the value of a high school job lies: learning how to form a community with people I never would have otherwise known.
High school students spend about seven hours a day in classes, and then often stay afterward for school-sponsored sports or activities. It’s not necessarily a bad thing to be wrapped up in school. But what I find is that a job can serve as a relief from the academic tasks of high school.
This relief came not from avoiding people, but from engaging with a community I would never have found in the halls of my high school. The people I met at the restaurant taught me that you can become friends with those decades older than you and strangers who have none of the same interests or hobbies as you do. They taught me that you can wildly disagree with someone and still respect them, learn from them, and love them.
28. What is commonly believed to be the main benefit teenagers get from work
A. Developing responsibility and skills. B. Learning to form a community.
C. Earning money for college. D. Making friends with different people.
29. What does the author say about high school life
A. It is highly school-centered. B. It only focuses on academics.
C. It lacks meaningful activities. D. It provides adequate social opportunities.
30. What did the author learn from people at the restaurant
A. Friends should share similar interests.
B. Workplace relationships are temporary.
C. True friendship requires constant agreement.
D. Meaningful connections can bridge differences.
31. What is the author’s main conclusion about her job experience
A. It helped improve her academic performance.
B. Its greatest value went beyond skill development.
C. It confirmed traditional views about student jobs.
D. Its main benefit was earning teachers’ approval.
D
Sharks are dying at staggering rates, primarily due to fishing activities. Nearly one-third of shark species globally are threatened with extinction. While some sharks are intentionally targeted, more than half are caught incidentally as bycatch and later thrown away, contributing significantly to their decline.
In response, regional fisheries management organizations have introduced retention (留存) bans that require fishermen to release accidentally captured sharks. Currently, 17 oceanic shark species are protected under such bans in tuna fisheries.
A research team from UC Santa Barbara collected data from over 150 published studies covering nearly 150 species to estimate mortality (死亡) rates for caught and released sharks. Their findings revealed particularly high post-release mortality among certain groups: smaller sharks, deep-water species, and those requiring constant swimming to breathe. Notably, thresher sharks, hammerheads, and smoothhound sharks showed mortality rates ranging from 30% to 65%.
The study demonstrated that while retention bans could reduce shark mortality by three times on average, this reduction remained insufficient to achieve sustainable levels for heavily fished species such as mako and silky sharks.
The authors stress that retention bans are a good first step, but they must be combined with other measures. These include changing fishing gear(for example, not using steel wires in longline fishing), protecting key shark habitats(especially areas where young sharks are born and grow up), and setting limits on how many sharks can be caught. Such comprehensive approaches are essential for effective shark conservation.
Moreover, the researchers point out that we know very little about related fish with cartilaginous fishes-such as rays, skates, and chimaeras These fishes face similar threats of extinction, but there are not enough studies on how many die due to fishing. The research team is now working with international tuna organizations to encourage conservation talks and find effective mixes of policies.
32. What does the underlined word “staggering” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Safe. B. Steady. C. Alarming. D. Declining.
33. Retention bans require fishermen to ______.
A. avoid fishing in shark habitats B. release accidentally caught sharks
C. use special equipment to protect sharks D. limit the number of sharks caught per year
34. Which sharks are most likely to die after being released
A. Those living in shallow waters. B. Large species near the coast.
C. Deep-water species. D. Species with slow reproductive rates.
35. What is paragraph 5 mainly talking about
A. The retention bans need to be further improved.
B. Fishing bans in saving all shark species are successful.
C. Broader measures are needed to protect sharks effectively.
D. Focusing only on young sharks is important.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We all have flaws (缺点); nobody is perfect. Having imperfections is normal, and some may be hard to fix or stay with us. Admitting these flaws is important as it keeps us grounded and aids in making better decisions. 36 . Here are some common ones and their impacts.
It’s all their fault!
37 . While others can contribute to a situation, we must also recognize our own responsibility. Constantly blaming others might make us feel better in the short term, but it prevents our growth and can damage relationships. We should look at our role in a situation without too much guilt.
It was the situation!
Situations can affect outcomes, like bad weather causing lateness. But if the same results occur repeatedly, we need to look within. For example, if we’re always late for work regardless of the weather, it’s likely not the weather’s fault. 38 .
It was because of my past!
Past experiences influence us, especially psychological wounds. But we can’t fully blame our past for our present actions. 39 . Recognize the impact of the past and make better decisions in the present.
I just couldn’t help it!
Some things are out of our control, but we need to distinguish when we are allowing ourselves to fall into our impulses (冲动) and when we are truly facing something that is beyond our control, like illness, whether physical or mental. 40 , as it helps us recognize areas for growth and when we need help. Ignoring this difference can prevent personal growth.
Facing our flaws is painful but essential for self-improvement.
A. We need to find a balance
B. It’s important to know the difference well
C. Blaming others is a common way to hide our flaws
D. Focusing on what we can control is more beneficial
E. We might not always know why we do the things we do
F. Using excuses can make other people less likely to trust us
G. However, we often make excuses instead of facing our flaws

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。
The winter in my city was very cold. Every morning at 6:30, the sharp wind would blow outside my window, as if laughing at my struggle to leave my warm bed. The sky was still dark, and the frozen trees stood like statues in the heavy frost. Our school organized a morning run, a rule I considered a kind of suffering. Mr. Zhang, our teacher, often told us, “Morning running isn’t just about building a strong body; it’s about making your will stronger. If you can beat the cold, you can beat any difficulty in life.” I, however, did not believe him. To me, his words were just like the wind, passing through my ears without any effect.
I became a master of “disappearing.” Sometimes I would hide in the restroom; other times, I would fake a stomachache. My classmates called me “The Ghost of the Morning Run.” While they were out there shivering, I was secretly proud of my cleverness, enjoying those stolen moments of warmth and doing nothing.
One Tuesday, the temperature dropped to a record low. As I was slipping into my usual hiding spot, I saw Mr. Zhang. He was nearly sixty, yet he was standing at the front of the line, energetic and firm. I later learned he believed that as a teacher, he should be a role model to encourage us to face challenges. During the run, a student accidentally fell down. Mr. Zhang immediately stopped, knelt in the freezing wind to help the boy up, and even gave his own gloves to the shivering student. He then continued to lead the run, his thin figure steady and determined in the thick white air, inspiring everyone behind him.
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。
Watching Mr. Zhang’s figure moving away in the cold air, I felt a strong sense of guilt.

The next morning, when the 6:30 alarm rang, I didn’t stop it to stay in bed. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
