REVIEWS
(by Mayis) Hamilton at last!
I’ve been wanting to take my daughter to see Hamilton since the original cast was touring. We’ve already seen it on Disney+, but we still look forward to seeing it in the theater. It was so worth the wait!! The music was great and vocals were amazing! We laughed, I cried, and we were so excited to be in the moment!! We hope we can see Hamilton at least one more time!
(by Scotty) Good but room for improvement.
I find it hard to understand the words, like the microphones and sound weren’t clear enough. I thought the Burr characters vocals were not strong enough and his big moments didn’t land with the audience. Really loved the Hamilton and Eliza actors, both nailed it.

Recently, the story of Xiao Peng, a dormitory supervisor at Shanghai Jianqiao University, has attracted a widespread social attention. This young man, only 21 years old and having graduated from college for just 11 months, has become a focal point in the eyes of many with his unique career choice and the positive life attitude.

All alone, the small brown coin lay on the windowsill. Occasionally, a spider or a fly came by; he wore spider webs, and a light layer of dust. The morning sun warmed him, then moved away. He had been placed there “in case”, and so he waited.
No one needed him for much of anything, these days. Policymakers kept remarking, woundingly, that it cost more to make each penny (in 2024, 3.69 cents) than it was worth. That was why, they explained, they would be ending production in 2026.
For some time now, people had soured on him. When he was handed over in change, shoppers waved him away with “Keep the penny”. Increasingly, they simply waved a card and ignored him. He had spent longer and longer simply lying around.
In economic terms, however, he liked to think he was still important, encouraging careful budgeting. The price was calculated down to the smallest detail (namely, him). When a product was priced at $19.99, rather than $20, people were more willing to buy it, boosting the economy.
Then there was the matter of charity. Where would all those boxes be, without the likes of him In several cities cents were harvested for good causes; school children collected them in cloth bags. Thousands of dollars were raised that way, little by little.
Such arguments, however, plainly did not persuade policymakers. What, then, was his future, and that of any other penny As an accessory, perhaps. After all, pennies were lucky. A good-looking cent, as cents went, he could become a button. Glued to a leg, he could stop a chair from wobbling (摇晃). There were worse fates, such as being thrown in a fountain.
None of this was what he had been made for. And so, with humility (谦卑), he accepted his new purpose in national life. Perhaps, some day, he would hear his owner say: “Glad I kept that penny.” In the far future he might become rare and valuable. This was his chief comfort that some people, at least, would still appreciate that face value and true worth are not at all the same thing.
8. Which paragraph presents an argument against policymakers’ decision
A．Paragraph 1. B．Paragraph 2. C．Paragraph 3. D．Paragraph 4.
9. Why is charity mentioned in Paragraph 5
A．To introduce new problems in charity work.
B．To raise concerns about wasting small coins.
C．To give further evidence of the penny’s value.
D．To make a contrast between giving and spending.
10. What would the penny imagine as its best possible future
A．Becoming a collectible. B．Ending up in a fountain.
C．Being used as a decoration. D．Being remade into a new coin.
11. What is the overall tone of the text
A．Very formal but a bit dry.
B．Mildly humorous but a bit sad.
C．Seemingly calm but a bit distant.
D．Highly romantic but a bit unreal.

Stanford assistant professor Ruike Zhao published a groundbreaking medical breakthrough in Nature: using a tiny 2 mm micro-robot, she increased the success rate of blood clot (血块) removal from a mere 11% to an amazing 90%, sending shockwaves through the medical world.
In modern society, about one in every dozen people may experience a blood clot in their lifetime. It is widely known that blood clots are the leading cause of strokes and heart attacks. During treatment, the ability to quickly and effectively restore blood flow becomes a matter of life and death.
Unfortunately, traditional mechanical methods have a low success rate. The process is like trying to pick up broken tofu with chopsticks — not only is success unlikely, but the situation may even worsen. Blood clots may break apart while being deformed, resulting in small pieces stuck in hard-to-reach areas.
However, Professor Zhao’s 2 mm micro-robot enters blood vessels (血管) and, using high-speed rotation (旋转), generates forces to reduce the clot size to 5%. It’s like when you press and rub soft things, like hair, between your hands. The force makes them stick together into a small ball. The micro-robot works similarly, using pressure to bring the clot components together, making them easier to remove. This process requires no drugs, causes no vessel damage, and effectively releases trapped red blood cells back into blood.
What’s astonishing is that this innovation is inspired from subway TBMs, tunnel-boring machines (盾构机). The way tunnel-boring machines efficiently handle hard soil and rock in narrow spaces inspired the creation. This brilliant Chinese researcher miniaturized the enormous underground machine to a size tens of thousands of times smaller and adapted it for use in human blood vessels.
Currently, the technology has been successfully tested on pigs. While most of these studies remain in the laboratory phase, the breakthrough itself is exciting. This technology may soon extend beyond blood clots to address issues like kidney stones or gallstones.
12. How does the author present the breakthrough in paragraph 1
A．By explaining a technical term. B．By contrasting the statistics.
C．By providing the study’s background. D．By citing an authority.
13. What is the advantage of Zhao’s micro-robot over traditional methods
A．It generates blood more rapidly.
B．It prevents clots from forming again.
C．It is recyclable and economical.
D．It raises success rate and reduces side effects.
14. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning TBMs
A．The cost of medical robotics.
B．The reason behind the numerous trials.
C．The inspiration behind the innovation.
D．The importance of modern machinery.
15. What is the last paragraph about
A．Choice of new research methods.
B．Possible direction for further study.
C．Necessity for tests on more animals.
D．Potential application of the invention.

The Wind Phone
Every morning Mario visited his neighbor, Mr. Harper. Together they sat at the edge of his garden on the hill, looking down at the port. They made a game of spotting Mario’s dad as he unloaded the morning catch, and Mr. Harper’s daughter, Fiona, as she cleaned the fish one after another. “I see them!” Mario would say. Mr. Harper would laugh. “You win again, Mario.” It was their favorite game.
Mario’s dad loved the ocean. He’d say, “Listen, Mario, the ocean’s saying good morning.” The lapping waves would whisper: O-mor-ning. O-mor-ning. Mario always returned the greeting, “Good morning, ocean.” But on the day the big wave came, the ocean didn’t whisper. It roared (咆哮). A big, watery hand swept into the port, grabbing everything — and everyone — in its grasp. Everyone lost someone that day. It took Mario’s dad, Fiona, and it even took Mario’s voice. Silence hung over the village like a dark, heavy cloud.
Spring came. Here and there stood peach-trees that broke into delicate flowers of pink. One day: Tap-tap-tap. Bang-bang-bang. Mario watched from his window. Mr. Harper was building something in his garden. But what It was a phone booth (电话亭), painted white and with many panes (窗格) of glass. Mr. Harper went inside and his voice floated out. “Fiona It’s your father. I miss you.” Mario was confused. Fiona had been grabbed by the ocean, just like Mario’s dad. When Mr. Harper left, Mario crept inside. An old-fashioned phone sat on a table. No plugs, no wires. It was a phone connected to nowhere.
Mr. Harper visited his phone booth every day. Soon other villagers did too. They lifted the receiver to their ears and their voices floated on the wind. “Hello, cousin. Today I fixed the boat. I’ll fish again soon.” “Sister, how’re you I rode your bike today. It fits me now.”
For the first time since the big wave came, Mario wanted to use his voice. He went down to the port and screamed at the ocean. “Bring our people back!” Still, the waves lapped gently. O-mor-ning. O-mor-ning. Mario sighed and looked up.
注意：
(1)续写词数应为150左右；
(2)请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。
Mr. Harper’s phone booth sat high on the hill like a lighthouse.

My First Experience in Career
Last month, I took part in the school activity My First Experience in Career. I worked as a part-time librarian in our school library.
I sorted out books, helped students borrow and return books and kept the reading area tidy. This experience taught me that every job requires patience and responsibility. I also learned to communicate better with others. It was truly a meaningful experience.
读后续写 参考范文
Mr. Harper’s phone booth sat high on the hill like a lighthouse. Mario gathered all his courage and walked towards it slowly. Stepping inside, he picked up the receiver and held it to his ear. Closing his eyes, he tried to speak to his father. At first, no sound came out. After several attempts, a weak voice escaped his throat. Tears welled up in his eyes as he poured out his longing for his dad.
As Mario stepped out, he spotted Mr. Harper down at the port. He ran over and told Mr. Harper excitedly that he could speak again. Mr. Harper smiled warmly and patted his shoulder. From then on, Mario visited the wind phone regularly. It not only let him express his feelings but also helped the whole village heal from the pain of the disaster.
