About a week later, Eva seemed much better. She started to play in the garden again, laughing like before. Her father was hopeful and happy, but Miss Ophelia and the doctor were not so sure—and neither was Eva herself.
One afternoon, her father called her over with a gift. “You’re getting better now, aren’t you, dear ” he asked gently, holding her hand.
Eva looked at him and began to cry. “Papa, I’m going to leave you soon. I have things I want to tell you before I get weaker.”
He held her close. “Don’t say that. You’re just tired from the illness.”
“No, Papa. I’m not sad for myself, but for you—and for our slaves (奴隶). They love me and they are so kind to me. I wish they could all be free.”
“Don’t you think we treat them well ” he asked.
“Yes, but what will happen to them if something happens to you Some people buy husbands but not wives, or mothers but not their children. They separate families. Papa, when I’m gone, will you try to set them free ”
St. Clare held her tighter (更紧地). “You’re all I have in the world. I’ll do anything you ask.”
“Promise me Tom will be free.”

①Have you ever seen a wooden barrel (桶) It is made of many wooden pieces held together by metal rings. The Wooden Barrel Effect, also called the “Cask Effect”, is a famous idea that comes from watching how a barrel works.
②Think about a barrel with wooden pieces of different lengths. Some pieces are long, but one piece is very short. When you fill this barrel with water, what will happen The water will rise until it reaches the top of the shortest piece. Then it will begin to leak out (漏出). No matter how long the other pieces are, the barrel can never hold more water than the shortest piece allows.
③The effect teaches us something important. In a team, the weakest part often decides success. For example, in a basketball team, if one player keeps missing passes, the whole team may lose games. The team’s performance is limited by its weakest member.
④This also works for personal growth. Each of us has strengths and weaknesses. Our weaknesses are like the short piece. To make progress, we should find our “short pieces” and improve them. For instance, a student who may do well in math but struggles with English needs to devote more time and energy to improving his English skills.
⑤However, there is another way to think about it. Sometimes, instead of fixing the short piece, we can change how we use the barrel. We can tilt it so that water flows to the longer pieces. This means we can make good use of our strengths while managing our weaknesses.
⑥In short, the Wooden Barrel Effect reminds us that success needs balance. Whether in teamwork or personal development, we should focus on weaknesses while making the most of our strengths.
36．What decides how much water a barrel can hold
A．The longest piece of the barrel. B．The total number of pieces.
C．The shortest piece of the barrel. D．The average length of all pieces.
37．According to Paragraph 4, what is a student supposed to do if he is weak in English
A．To spend more time and energy improving English.
B．To only focus on subjects he is good at or interested in.
C．To give up studying English and work on math instead.
D．To ask teachers to give easier homework to avoid hard work.
38．What does the underlined word “tilt” mean in Paragraph 5
A．Keep…off. B．Turn…around. C．Lift…up on one side. D．Fill…up.
39．What can we infer from Paragraph 5 about dealing with weaknesses
A．Fixing weaknesses is always the perfect choice.
B．Weaknesses will disappear if we don’t focus on them.
C．Strengths become weaker when we focus on weaknesses.
D．Success can be achieved by making full use of our strengths.
40．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage
A．①②③/④⑤/⑥ B．①/②③/④/⑤⑥ C．①/②③/④⑤⑥ D．①②/③④/⑤/⑥
D
In 2025, a team of scientists from China developed a new environmental tech called “Solar-Powered Algae (藻类) Mats” (SPA Mats), which has become a great achievement in cleaning polluted water. Unlike traditional water treatment (处理) methods that cost much and use lots of energy, SPA Mats use solar power to grow special algae that eat harmful things in rivers, lakes and even oceans. This technology has been tested in three Chinese cities since early 2026 and shown amazing results.
Each SPA Mat is a thin, flexible sheet that can be spread on water surfaces easily. It is covered with tiny solar panels that provide energy for the algae to grow fast. Every 1 m of SPA Mats can clean 120 liters of polluted water per day, and it can work for up to 18 months without being replaced. The team first tested 50 SPA Mats in a small polluted river in Hangzhou. After two months, the water quality improved greatly. Encouraged by this, they added 150 more mats in the same area. In total, these mats reduced harmful chemicals in the river by 65% and made the water clear enough for small fish to return. Local people also noticed that the bad smell from the river was gone, and more birds began to stay nearby.
However, the technology still has room for improvement. The SPA Mats work best in areas with plenty of sunlight, but they don’t work as well on cloudy days or in dark water. Also, making the mats requires special materials that are not cheap yet. Scientists are now working to optimize the technology, hoping to make the mats affordable and suitable for different weather conditions.
The team behind SPA Mats hopes to bring this technology to more countries by 2027, for it shows environmental protection and scientific development can go hand in hand. Such green tech can surely grow fast in the future, solve more water pollution problems around the world and let more people see the great power of science and nature working together.
41．Why does the writer talk about the test in Hangzhou in Paragraph 2
A．To explain how to use the SPA Mats in rivers.
B．To show where the SPA Mats were first made.
C．To tell how well the SPA Mats work in real life.
D．To compare the SPA Mats with other water cleaners.
42．Why don’t the SPA Mats work as well in some environments
A．They need plenty of sunlight to work well.
B．They need to be replaced after a short time.
C．They need much water to keep the algae alive.
D．They can only be used in small rivers in China.
43．What does the underlined word “optimize” mean in paragraph 3
A．To look for something. B．To stop using something.
C．To make something better. D．To change something totally.
44．What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．Scientists will soon work out all the problems of SPA Mats.
B．Traditional water treatment methods are no longer popular now.
C．SPA Mats have been widely used in many countries around the world.
D．Green tech will play a more important part in environmental protection.
45．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage
A．To introduce a new water-cleaning technology and its effects.
B．To call on people to protect rivers and lakes from pollution.
C．To compare different methods of water treatment in China.
D．To explain why scientific development is important for the future.

New Year’s Resolutions: Making Them Stick
January 1st is a time for fresh starts. People around the world sit down with pen and paper. They write lists of things they want to start doing. They also write bad habits they want to break. These New Year’s resolutions are a tradition. 46
But why do so many resolutions fail The biggest reason is that people take on too much at once. 47 These goals are too big and too unclear. When life gets busy, it’s easy to quit.
48 Here are three practical tips:
Start small. Instead of “I’ll read 50 books this year,” try “I’ll read for 15 minutes before bed.” Small steps are easier to keep doing. They help you build up energy.
Be specific. “Get better grades” is not clear enough. 49 When you know exactly what to do, you’re more likely to do it.
Record your progress. 50 Seeing your good run of days grow feels great. It also keeps you going. And if you miss a day Don’t be hard on yourself — just start again the next day. Remember, a resolution isn’t about being perfect. It’s about making progress. This year, try setting smaller, clearer goals. You might be surprised at how far they take you.
A．So how can you make your resolutions work
B．But here’s the truth: most people give up by February.
C．Use a calendar or a phone app to mark each day you succeed.
D．A better goal is “I’ll study for 30 minutes every day after dinner.”
E．They say, “I’ll exercise every single day” or “I’ll never eat junk food again.”
