EU Countries Set New Clean Energy Records in 2025
In 2025, the European Union (EU) took an enormous step forward towards a clean power system backed by wind and solar. Here’s the breakdown of electricity generation shares in the EU in 2025.
The EU’s electricity transition reached a new milestone, with wind and solar generating more power than fossil (化石) fuels. A closer look at the data reveals the following highlights:
● 369 TWh. EU solar generation reached a record 369 TWh, 20% higher than that in 2024.
● 47.6%. The weather conditions boosted solar generation, with renewables providing nearly half of EU power (47.6%). Wind remained the second largest EU electricity source at 16.9% of EU power, above gas.
● 30.1%. Wind and solar generated a record 30.1% of EU electricity, higher than fossil power for the first time on record. Wind and solar generated more electricity than fossil fuels in 14 of the 27 EU countries.
● 9.2%. Coal power fell to a new historic low of 9.2%. In 19 EU countries, coal power was at less than 5%.
This milestone moment shows just how quickly things are changing in the EU’s power industry. By investing across the power system to employ the potential of batteries, grids and electrified tech, the EU is trying its best to make use of homegrown renewable power to stabilize prices and ensure energy consumption and security.
1. What is the percentage of power generated from non-renewables in 2025
A．52.4%. B．47.6%. C．41.8%. D．29.0%.
2. What can we learn about the EU’s electricity transition
A．Fossil fuels remained unchanged. B．Gas overtook wind power.
C．Renewables were gaining ground. D．Coal power was on the rise.
3. What is the EU doing to transform its power industry
A．Improving energy efficiency. B．Employing more nuclear power.
C．Limiting energy consumption. D．Strengthening the power system.

Last summer, I made a rather unconventional decision to run a small bookstore in the bustling food market of my neighborhood. My friends cast doubt on the plan, for the market was crowded with noisy vendors (小贩) and filled with pungent food smells. Their concerns proved well-founded on its opening day. Sandwiched between a pork stall and a tofu shop, my bookstore attracted barely any attention. With few customers stepping in, I felt disheartened and began to reflect on what went wrong. Never had I anticipated such a frigid beginning.
It didn’t take me long to figure out where the problem lay. I had stocked my shelves with classic novels and poetry I cherished, yet they failed to meet the needs of local residents. I therefore resolved to make a thorough change. In place of those books, I displayed home-style cookbooks, stories about street food, and food-related picture books for children. I sincerely hoped these new books would win over the locals. I also launched a “Book-for-Veggie Exchange” activity in the store.
The new adjustment turned out to be highly successful. Local people soon took to this creative idea. A young mother came first with a carrot to exchange for a picture book, and before long, my counter was overflowing with fresh vegetables. The tofu vendor’s daughter, who had watched silently for weeks on end, finally stepped forward to borrow a comic. Months later, the bookstore became a warm part of market life, with the scent of books blending gently with the fresh aroma of farm produce.
This experience reshaped my understanding of books. I once believed books could only shine in quiet places, but now I have seen their real value. It lies in connecting with people’s everyday life: books can blend perfectly into daily routines and warm our hearts. They become meaningful and touching when combined with the hustle and bustle, food and laughter of everyday life.
4. What problem did the author face last summer
A．Doubt among close friends. B．Strong food smells in the market.
C．Low store traffic in the bookstore. D．Disturbance from nearby vendors.
5. How did the author attract customers to the bookstore
A．By selling local vegetables. B．By offering reader-specific books.
C．By stocking favorite classics. D．By organizing book-swap activities.
6. What can we learn about the bookstore in paragraph 3
A．It aimed at a profitable trade in farm produce.
B．It funded the young children in the community.
C．It reflected a harmonious integration into market life.
D．It served as a popular gathering spot in the neighborhood.
7. What has the author learned from opening the bookstore
A．Better late than never. B．Books are for life, not for shelves.
C．Think outside the box. D．Reading connects soul to daily life.

“If your skin is getting older, you are getting older, so be careful,” says Claudia Cavadas at the University of Coimbra, Portugal. Could our fight to remove wrinkles help restore youth both inside and out
As skin ages, more and more cells enter a lifeless state called senescence (衰老). As time marches on, the mechanisms (机制) for clearing senescent cells out start to decline and they build up in tissues. This is bad news. The build-up of these cells has been shown to be a direct cause of some of the conditions that are generally more common in older age.
To support her assumption around wrinkles driving whole-body ageing, Cavadas is planning to test experimental drugs on animal models of aged skin. “The evidence is still fragile, but, in a year, we will have experimental data” she says.
Whether resisting skin ageing resists whole-body ageing will need to be seen. But there is another good reason to slow down skin ageing at least. Aged skin is worse than young skin at pretty much everything it is supposed to do, says a plastic surgeon. Its barrier functions weaken, wounds are slower to heal (康复), sensitivity to touch declines and its ability to defend diseases is weakened.
How about anti-wrinkle creams At present, there is limited evidence that they are genuine anti-ageing treatments. We do, however, have one method for preventing skin ageing: sunscreen, which absorbs UV rays before they do damage to the skin. It is never too soon to start. Even though the first visible signs of skin ageing usually don’t appear until our mid-20s, the potential processes are under way much earlier.
Apparently, wrinkle treatment should no longer be seen as a “skin-deep” thing, but as a vital part of staying biologically young and healthy. Everyone should pay attention to that, because we all have skin in this game.
8. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A．The definition of senescence. B．The causes of skin ageing.
C．The process of cell declining. D．The consequences of skin ageing.
9. What does the underlined word “fragile” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Artificial. B．Considerable. C．Insubstantial. D．Convincing.
10. Which is a disadvantage of the aged skin
A．It tends to be sensitive to touches. B．The cut on it recovers quickly.
C．The barrier functions work poorly. D．It stops guarding against diseases.
11. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs
A．Anti-wrinkle creams are quite useful.
B．Wrinkle treatment is important to health.
C．Sunscreen may pose potential risk to the skin.
D．Wrinkle treatment is a practice proven skin-deep.
D
A girl who turns up to school dressed head-to-toe in pink will probably pass unnoticed. If a boy does the same, he will inevitably face stares. Even the most non-traditional parent would think twice about exposing their son to that.
Children start paying attention to gender differences much earlier than some parents realize, according to psychologist Christia Brown, “Society emphasizes that gender is important really early in a kid’s life,” she says. “We label it a lot in our language — we use gender as nouns all the time. So we frequently say ‘oh, there’s that girl’ or ‘come on boys, let’s go get in the car.’” Research suggests children’s recognition of gender is more due to adults pointing it out than any inborn awareness of it.
Gendered toys credit certain types of skills and strengths to one gender or the other. So, when a child only plays with toys marketed for their gender, they learn a certain set of skills but do not engage as much in other types of learning. This can lead to imbalanced development in boys and girls as they grow older.
The biggest concern around buying gendered toys is that they can impact how children see themselves. Gendered representation imposes (强加于) society’s ideas of what they should like and do instead of letting them choose for themselves what their interests and hobbies are. This can have influence on what that child decides to study in school and ultimately choose as a career.
Many retailers have made real progress over the last few years, dropping gender labels in stores and online — a new research shows a 70% decrease in the use of online gender navigation options since 2012 — but there’s still work to do to challenge the stereotyped (老一套的) ways that toys are often packaged and promoted.
Researchers hope that one day, toys will stop being broken up by gender and will instead be categorized by type, like puzzle toys, dolls or children’s bikes. There would still be dress-up dolls and monster toy trucks in that world, but instead of being just pink or blue, they would come in every color of the rainbow. Toy choices should be based on kids’ personal interests, and not on their gender.
12. What does Christia Brown say about gender differences
A．They are probably unnoticed. B．They are socially constructed.
C．They are biologically determined. D．They are universally acknowledged.
13. What aspects of children are negatively affected by gendered toys
A．Their academic performance. B．Their interpersonal relationship.
C．Their behaviours and attitudes. D．Their physical strength and fitness.
14. What should we put efforts to change
A．How the toys are marketed. B．Where the toys are sold.
C．When the toys are rolled out. D．Who the toys are targeted at.
15. What do the researchers expect of future toys
A．They should be colourful. B．They should be gender-neutral.
C．They should cater to kids’ tastes. D．They should cover wider categories.

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。词数150左右。
Renny was an eleven-year-old girl who liked putting things off. She often delayed her school assignments. Her weekends were usually filled with dreams of hanging out with friends, or staying at her grandparents’ house, where she would enjoy herself and play freely with some of her friends.
One weekend, Renny planned to go to her grandparents’ place. When her mother asked if she had any schoolwork to complete, Renny shook her head and said no, hiding the fact that she had a math assignment due soon. Her mother agreed to drop her off, reminding her to practice her math skills. Renny promised she would study later, but the weekend passed quickly with fun and relaxation.
By the time Monday arrived, she had completely forgotten about the assignment. Walking into the classroom, panic swept over her. When her teacher asked for the assignment, Renny lied that she had forgotten it at home. The teacher simply told her to bring it the next day. Relieved, Renny thought the small lie had solved everything. But when the next day came, she still had not done the work. She made up another excuse, saying her cousin had spilled ink on it. The teacher raised an eyebrow doubtfully, so Renny quickly invented a story about a visiting cousin. Her friend asked how long the cousin was staying, and Renny answered, “Until Saturday,” adding another layer to her lie.
That evening, her mother mentioned that the teacher had called about the missing assignment. Renny insisted she had already submitted it, claiming the teacher must have forgotten. The lies began to grow, each one demanding another to hold them up. Her friend later questioned her about the cousin, and Renny struggled to keep the story straight, nervously saying he had left early.
Renny started to feel trapped. At home, she sensed doubt in her mother’s voice. At school, her teacher’s gaze seemed sharper, and her friend grew distant. The small lie had grown into a web she could not escape.
Then one day, the truth came out. ________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________
After admitting everything, Renny felt a mix of shame and relief. _________________
