A
Many countries are considering reducing speed limits on motorways and in urban areas. Fuel savings and reductions in CO2 emissions are just two of the reasons for doing so.
Fuel consumption decreases the slower you drive, because the moving car has to overcome fewer physical forces such as air resistance and rolling friction (摩擦) between tyres and road. Air resistance increases with the square of the speed. This means that a car experiences 28% more air resistance at a speed of 130km/h than at 110km/h.
Slower speed is not the only way to reduce the CO2 emissions from your car. There are three automotive tips to help the climate else.
STREAMLINE THE CAR
1. Unevenness (不均匀) increases the air resistance of your car, and so its CO2 emissions. Four open windows increase fuel consumption by up to 27%.
GET UP THE GEARS (齿轮) QUICKLY
2. Petrol and diesel (柴油) cars should always be driven in the highest possible gear: the engine then has as few revolutions as possible. Fuel consumption between two gears can vary by up to 20%.
MAINTAIN TYRE PRESSURE
3. Car tyres at the recommended pressure ensure ideal driving. If the tyre pressure drops to 75% pressure, fuel consumption increases by 2%. If it drops by half, the increase is as much as 10%.
Here’s the breakdown of fuel consumption impact of driving habits and vehicle adjustments from the Federation of Danish Motorists (FDM).
1. Why does driving at a lower speed help cut fuel use
A．It weakens the physical forces the car must fight against.
B．It changes the way air resistance affects the car.
C．It lightens the weight of the moving vehicle.
D．It makes the engine work at a higher speed.
2. What will happen if a car’s windows are wide open while driving
A．It’ll lower the car’s air resistance.
B．It’ll reduce the car’s CO emissions.
C．It’ll lead to a sharp rise in fuel use.
D．It’ll make the car run more smoothly.
3. What is the fuel-saving effect of reducing speed from 130km/h to 110km/h according to FDM data
A．10%. B．16%. C．Up to 20%. D．Nearly 28%.
B
I once attended a French immersion (沉浸) program in France. On the first day, the school director warned: “Speak even a word of English and you will be fined two euros.” I began to wonder if it was a wise decision.
My interest in French began in high school, but university courses bored me. Years later, my children attended a French immersion school, and my enthusiasm returned — though I was too busy to study myself. A couple of years ago, a neighbour fluent in French shared stories of traveling in France. I was envious. The next morning, I woke up and decided to create my own luck. Though in my mid-60s, I still enjoyed challenges.
Three months later, I arrived in Paris for a month of French studies. We were immersed in French eight hours a day. Fellow students came from around the world: a Chinese lady wanted to perfect her French to fully appreciate the rich cultural heritage of France; a Turkish graduate hoped to land a job in Europe; many, like me, sought a personal challenge.
The first week was exhausting. My head ached from the constant stimulation of learning. I routinely embarrassed myself. With only a limited French vocabulary, I couldn’t tell any of my usual stories and jokes. After much practice, I finally developed an amusing story to tell to whomever I sat with. Yes, the same story every day. At least I was never fined two euros!
Gradually, the immersion worked. My brain shifted to French at the school gate. One day, I met an American lady I had spoken with in English the day before in a restaurant. On school grounds, I walked past her without a greeting — paying a thousand euros as punishment would do! During the four weeks, I made significant progress. On the last day, I presented a paper in French.
Attending the program inspired me to continue my French learning. And I’ve signed up for another session this spring. I can’t wait to get there and embarrass myself again!
4. Why did the author question her decision on the first day of the program
A．It was too boring. B．It cost much money.
C．It had a strict rule. D．It had a tight schedule.
5. What drove the author to start French studies in Paris
A．Her children’s French learning. B．The desire to prove herself young.
C．More free time after retirement. D．Her neighbor’s travelling experiences.
6. Why did the author walk past the American lady without greeting her
A．She was in a hurry. B．She failed to recognize her.
C．She was afraid of being fined. D．She focused on her French thinking.
7. What does the author want to convey
A．Well begun is half done.
B．It’s never too late to learn.
C．Rules are made to be broken.
D．You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.
C
It is among nature’s greatest spectacles. Each year, thousands of sea turtle mothers clamber ashore, dig into the sand to lay their eggs, and then return to the sea. After being incubated (孵) for around two months, the eggs hatch and the tiny turtles strive to reach the water.
Approximately 90 percent of the sea turtle nesting in the United States happens on Florida’s beaches, according to the Sea Turtle Conservancy, a Gainesville-based research and conservation organization. During the nesting season, which runs from March through October, the sands are normally crowded with humans. However, this year the coronavirus pandemic severely reduced travel and required some states to close their beaches for weeks. While this sounded disappointing to the visitors, it may have been a boon to the sea turtles.
For turtle mothers, there can be “false crawls”, in which a female encounters a distraction between the water and a potential nesting site. The crowded beaches would interrupt the sea turtles’ plan, sending them back to the ocean without laying eggs.
“In terms of a successful rate of nesting, we actually did find a significant difference during the beach closures and then after,” says Justin Perrault, director of the organization, “We have observed approximately 17,000 nests along Juno, Jupiter-Carlin, and Tequesta beaches this year. During the closures, loggerheads, one of the commonly seen turtles on Florida’s beach, successfully nested 61 percent. When the beaches reopened, that number dropped to 46 percent.”
Jimena Gutierrrez, a Sea Turtle Conservancy biologist also expresses her opinion, “Normally the turtles are conserved because we have a lot of people coming to see them. With fewer tourism dollars supporting local workers, we are worried about the conservationists as well as the turtles. But maybe in the long run, we will see good numbers because there is less boat traffic in the ocean.”
8. What does the underlined word “boon” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Cure. B．Blessing. C．Option. D．Challenge.
9. What can be concluded from Paragraph 4
A．Closures should be expanded for turtles, nesting.
B．This year has witnessed the highest nest rate in history.
C．The nest rate has remained steady over the whole nesting season.
D．Less human disturbance has led to more successful nesting.
10. How does Jimena’s opinion sound
A．Anxious. B．Ambiguous. C．Indifferent. D．Objective.
11. Where can we probably read this article
A．www.sealifeconservation.com. B．www..
C．www.. D．www..

Scientists from Swansea University have developed a new tool to help identify the best photovoltaic (PV)materials capable of maximizing crop growth while generating solar power.
In a recent study published in Solar RRL, academics from the University's Department of Physics have been exploring the effect of semi-transparent (半透明) PV materials placed over crops — a successful application of agrovoltaics (农业光伏).
As part of this work, the team has developed a practical freeware tool that predicts the light transmission,absorption, and power generation of different PV materials nearly anywhere on the globe using geographical,physical, and electrical measurements. This is essential for finding the best balance between growing food and producing clean energy.
A key factor for refining agrovoltaics is selecting the appropriate PV material, which requires an understanding of how the material absorbs different wavelengths (colors) of light, as well as its bandgap. A wider bandgap means the material can absorb light that is higher- energy and has a shorter wavelength (blue), while a narrower bandgap allows the absorption of lower-energy, longer wavelength (red) light.
By carefully selecting PV materials with specific bandgaps and absorption properties, researchers can accurately control the “color” of light transmitted through semi- transparent PVs to hit the crops, which mainly absorb red and blue light to photosynthesize (光合作用), reflecting green light.
Project lead, Associate Professor Ardalan Armin, said,“By refining the combination of solar panels and agriculture, agrovoltaics has the potential to significantly contribute to the decarbonization of the agricultural sector.This approach not only generates clean energy but also enhances food security.”
Solar panels or PVs can be attached to the roofs of greenhouses and can also be used to provide shelter for livestock (家畜). In return, the livestock can reduce maintenance costs by eating vegetation around the panels. However, careful consideration of the type of livestock is crucial as some species, like goats, can jump onto the PVs and cause serious damage.
12. What is the main function of the newly developed tool
A．To increase agricultural production. B．To lower farming energy expenses.
C．To study global climate measurements. D．To forecast PV material performance.
13. What can researchers do to improve crop growth with light
A．Reflect green light to crops. B．Create light colors that suit crops.
C．Use PV materials with the right bandgaps. D．Change crop light absorption abilities.
14. What should be considered in using PVs in livestock farming
A．Minimizing maintenance expenses. B．Ensuring animal well- being.
C．Setting up physical barriers for the PVs. D．Avoiding animal damage to the panels.
15. What is the text mainly about
A．The study of advanced PV materials. B．Cost reduction through solar energy use.
C．A tool for boosting crops and solar power. D．New applications of solar panels on farms.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

Finding the right balance between screen time and other enriching activities can be difficult, especially with the appeal of interactive stories. The key is to think of these stories as a way to stir up new interests. Here are some tips for balancing screen time with interactive story learning.
Setting Clear Boundaries
Just like with any other activity, setting clear boundaries around screen time is essential. A predictable routine can help your child understand expectations and avoid power struggles. Consider setting specific times for interactive story sessions, and stick to them. 16
17
Not all screen time is created equal. Look for interactive stories that are age-appropriate, educational, and engaging. They can offer a library of personalized stories that are designed to improve literacy skills and spark imagination.
Making It a Shared Experience
Interactive stories can be a wonderful way to connect with your child. Instead of simply handing them a device, sit down together and read the story aloud. 18 Ask open-ended questions to encourage critical thinking.
Extending the Learning Offline
The real magic happens when you extend the learning offline. After reading an interactive story about animals, visit the zoo or a local farm. After reading a story about space, visit a planetarium (天文馆) or build a rocket ship together. 19
Modeling Healthy Habits
20 Be mindful of your own screen time habits and model the behavior you want to see in your child. When you prioritize time for reading and connecting with others, you send a powerful message that these activities are important.
A．Embracing New Activities
B．Choosing Quality Content
C．You can connect the digital world to the real one.
D．Talk about the characters, the plot, and the themes.
E．Parenting isn’t about perfection, it’s about progress.
F．Children learn by watching the adults in their lives.
G．Visual timers can be a helpful tool for younger children.

During the journey, Raynor began a career as a nature writer. She writes, “ 32 had taken every material thing from me and stripped (除去) of all the roles and identities that once 33 me, like an empty page at the end of a partly written book.

The November rain tapped against the windows of Westbrook High in Boston. For Zhang Wei, an exchange student from Hangzhou, the past three months had been one long struggle to fit in. He was afraid of being seen as different, so he forced himself to follow the crowd, holding back his true thoughts and habits. He’d learned to nod along about Friday night football and laughed at jokes he didn’t always understand. His strategy was simple: blend in. He believed that if he could lose himself, he would finally belong.
That strategy ended in Mr. Harrison’s class. “Bring one object that holds a real family story,” the teacher announced.
All week, classmates shared treasures — Melissa’s Italian recipe book, David’s grandfather’s harmonica, Elena’s hand-made lace. Each presentation opened a door into someone’s history. Zhang Wei had nothing. He had spent months trying to become someone new, erasing his own identity in the process. He had never thought to bring his old self along.
That night, desperate, he video-called his grandmother in Hangzhou.
“Wei wei! Are you sick ”
“I need a family story, Grandma. For school.”
She looked down at her hands resting on a familiar object: a wooden comb, dark with age, its teeth worn smooth.
“This ” She held it up. “This is all I brought when I left my village at sixteen.”
Zhang Wei was struck silent. He’d seen that comb a thousand times and never asked about it. He had been so focused on his new life that he had forgotten to look at his old one.
She told him about the summer of 1962, when drought drove her from home. She walked thirty miles carrying nothing but this comb—her mother’s, given at dawn with just a hand squeeze.
“Every morning, I remember her hands,” she said softly. “I was leaving everything behind, but I carried her with me.”
Those words stayed with him. The next morning, Zhang Wei walked to the front of the class.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。
Paragraph 1:
“My object is eight thousand miles away,” he began. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
When he finished, the room stayed silent. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Power of Museums
According to the data, the number of visitors to museums rose from 720 million in 2015 to 1.4 billion in 2025.
This great change results from several reasons. Firstly, people now attach more importance to cultural enrichment in daily life. Secondly, museums offer rich exhibitions and interesting activities, attracting more visitors. Besides, better transportation also makes it easier for people to pay a visit. Museums are truly playing an important role in our life.

“My object is eight thousand miles away,” he began. He told the whole story of his grandma’s wooden comb. He described how the old comb accompanied his grandma through hard times and carried deep love from her mother. He shared his own feelings, admitting he had tried hard to fit in and lost his own identity these months. He realized his culture and family stories were his most precious treasures.
When he finished, the room stayed silent. Soon warm applause broke out. His classmates understood his experience and showed great respect for his story. From that day on, Zhang Wei no longer tried to hide his differences. He bravely showed his own culture and habits. He finally found that being himself was the best way to truly belong to the new group.
