A
George Nakashima always insisted that he was a simple woodworker, refusing to accept the title of an artist. However, the director of the American Craft Museum called him a national treasure because major museums exhibited his works, thinking highly of them. For almost fifty years he simply went on shaping wood into beautiful chairs, tables, and cabinets.
Nakashima had a clear goal. He intended each piece of furniture he made to be as perfect as possible. Even making a box was an act of creation, because it produced an object that had never existed before. Initially Nakashima used local wood, sometimes from his own property. Later, he traveled to seek out English oak, Persian walnut, African zebra wood. He especially liked to find giant roots that had been dug out of the ground after a tree was taken down. Nakashima felt that making this wood into furniture was a way of allowing the tree to live again. Nakashima took pleasure in using wood with interesting knots (节疤) and cracks instead of perfect boards. These irregularities gave the wood personality and showed that the tree had lived a happy life.
He never failed to create an object that was both useful and beautiful. One early piece Nakashima designed was a three-legged chair for his small daughter Mira to use when she sat at the table for meals. The Mira chair became so popular that Nakashima later made both low and high versions. Another famous piece, the Conoid chair, has two legs supported by blade-like feet. Always, Nakashima's designs were precise and graceful, marked by simplicity that revealed his love for the wood.
As the years passed, Nakashima's reputation grew and his works received many awards. His children Mira and Kevin, now adults, joined the team of craftspeople in their father's studio. Nakashima's dream of combining work and family has come true.
11. Why was Nakashima called a national treasure
A. Because he loved both his work and family.
B. Because his works showed high artistic value.
C. Because the wood materials he used were precious.
D. Because he spent most of his life making furniture.
12. Which of the following best describes Nakashima
A. Generous and outgoing.
B. Ambitious and friendly.
C. Creative and modest.
D. Honest and simple.
13. Which of the following is true of Mira and Kevin
A. They had an art studio of their own.
B. They lacked the ability to create art works.
C. They developed different hobbies from their father.
D. They continued their father's woodworking career.
B
In the global effort to fight climate change, scientists are exploring solutions in unexpected places--including the soil beneath our feet. A recent study published in Nature highlights a promising discovery: specific bacteria that can dramatically reduce agricultural emissions of nitrous oxide(N O), a powerful greenhouse gas.
Nitrous oxide, largely released from farm fields due to nitrogen fertilizer use, is a major climate concern. According to co-author Professor Lars Bakken of the Norwegian University of Life Sciences, the gas is 265 times more effective at warming the atmosphere than carbon dioxide and can remain in the air for over a century.
To develop the solution, researchers used organic waste to grow the bacteria. Building on past work, they searched for a microorganism that would reduce nitrous oxide emissions without staying in the soil long so long that it harmed other life forms important for crop health. The bacteria reduced emissions after a second fertilizer treatment by about half two weeks later. After three months, the makeup of microbial (微生物的)life was unchanged, suggesting the bacteria would not harm the soil.
These bacteria exist naturally in anaerobic digesters(厌氧消化器), which transforms organic waste into biofuels. That might ease acceptance of their use, said Paul Carini of the University of Arizona, who was not involved in the research. Moreover, Bakken stated that this "opens up a number of new possibilities" for managing farmland. The bacteria could be added to fertilizers, offering a potential direct application for farmers. As Carini noted, using a waste product from one industrial process to benefit another is cost-effective.
However, significant challenges remain before widespread use. Professor Lori Hoagland, an expert in the field, noted that soils vary globally, requiring more field testing to ensure effectiveness. More critically, farmers currently get no financial motivation to adopt such methods. Bakken argued that authorities must create policies to make emission reductions profitable. If these limitations can be addressed, bacterial treatment could have a major impact on reducing agriculture's contribution to climate change.
14. Why is nitrous oxide a major climate concern
A. It is released in larger amounts than CO
B. It stays in the atmosphere for a very short time.
C. It has a much stronger warming effect than CO
D. It comes mainly from industrial production.
15. What is mainly discussed about bacteria in paragraph 4
A. Its potential benefits.
B. Its working principle.
C. Its producing process.
D. Its research value.
16. What prevents the application of the finding
A. Shortage of necessary bacteria.
B. Lack of financial benefit for farmers.
C. Difficulty in large-scale testing.
D. Uncertainty about its effect.
C
Have you ever obeyed the suggestions of a digital writing assistant to replace a word or restructure a sentence Before the appearance of digital tools, you'd probably have turned to a dictionary for the same assistance.
Dictionaries enable us to write not with fail-safe convenience but with originality and a point of view. While AI assistants produce phrases and statements so writers don't have to think them up, dictionaries provide us with the knowledge to use language ourselves in expressive and potentially infinite (无穷的) ways. They place choice and authority literally in human hands, forcing us to discover how we want to explain ourselves and our ideas to the world.
The abundance of digital writing assistants gives greater urgency to debates about what a dictionary should be. In 1946, George Orwell described good writing as "picking out words for the sake of their meaning," a practice that dictionaries facilitate while digital writing programs stifle. Writers consulting a dictionary make a choice, while writers guided by an app have their choices made for them. The digital-native approach delivers hands-off, derivative (衍生的) communication. The other requires flipping through pages without knowing exactly where you'll end up. Without dictionaries to provide us with a guide to English's potential, writing that way is nearly impossible.
Our ability to express ourselves is critical--it helps us define who we are. Dictionaries aid us in achieving this: They classify our unique ways of thinking through language. I'm a Canadian; my feeling of pride in my country is enhanced because of small Canadian words such as "eaves trough" or "serviette", which are well-documented in dictionaries but rarely used by AI chatbots, for the most part.
As digital writing extends deeper into our lives and minds, we need dictionaries more than ever. Abandoning dictionaries and embracing mechanized writing would weaken our ability for collective identity quite as much as the ability to express ourselves.
17. What might be a distinct feature of dictionaries according to the author
A. They promise error-free phrases.
B. They possess academic authority.
C. They provide ready-made expressions.
D. They facilitate creative writing.
18. What does the underlined word "stifle" in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Favor.
B. Revise.
C. Observe.
D. Discourage.
19. Why does the author mention "eaves trough" and "serviette" in paragraph 4
A. To illustrate how language use affects identity.
B. To indicate the weakness of dictionaries.
C. To celebrate the diversity of Canadian English.
D. To show how AI aids us in expressing.
20. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. What to Expect from Dictionaries
B. How to Deal with Digital Writing
C. Why Keep Your Dictionary
D. Who Uses Writing Assistants

The final whistle blew and the basketball game was over. The Hawks won again, Abby shouted, leaping from the bench and cheering loudly. Thirteen games, thirteen wins--the best record the team had ever had. But Abby hadn't made much of a contribution. Her playing time totaled only about ten minutes for the entire season. As she walked toward Coach McKenzie and her teammates, she overheard someone saying under their breath that she was basically a cheerleader in a basketball uniform. Her heart sank and tears filled her eyes.
Coach McKenzie praised the whole team and especially mentioned Kathy for her excellent free throws (罚球). Thinking of the countless hours she had spent practicing shots after school, Abby felt like shouting, "I can shoot well too--if I could just get a chance to play!"
That evening, Mom drove Abby home silently. She always knew when it was best to say nothing. After finishing homework, Abby grabbed her basketball and rushed outside to practice. Mom walked up behind her. Abby sighed, murmuring that she knew she should be satisfied just to be on the team, and launched a jump shot. "Not this time, Abby," Mom replied, passing the ball back. "I just want to say that I' m proud of you for keeping on trying, and I believe your chance will come."
The last game of the season came, and the gym was full of people. The crowd cheered loudly as the second half began. Abby watched closely as the players ran up and down the court. The score was very close, and the Hawks were one point behind with only ten minutes left. "Come on, Hawks," Abby breathed. Suddenly, Kathy, the star player, took the ball but fell heavily and got injured when another player ran into her. She couldn't continue, so the judge approached the coach and told Coach McKenzie that someone had to take Kathy's place and shoot the two free throws. Coach scanned her reserves(预备队员). Her eyes landed on Abby, the girl who always stayed late to practice.
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。
Para1: Abby was called up to take the place of Kathy.

第二节 应用文写作范文
Scientific Weight Management Activities Held in Our School
Last week, our school held a series of activities themed "Scientific Weight Management".
Experts gave lectures on balanced diets and proper exercise, telling us to stay away from junk food. We also took part in group fitness classes and shared healthy living tips with classmates. Besides, posters showing correct weight-loss knowledge were put up around the campus.
All students spoke highly of these activities. They realized blind dieting is harmful and mastered practical ways to keep fit. Many said they would develop healthy daily habits from now on.
第三节 读后续写范文
Para1: Abby was called up to take the place of Kathy.
Her hands shook slightly as she walked toward the free-throw line. All eyes in the stadium fixed on her. She took a deep breath, recalling countless afternoons practicing shots alone on the empty playground. She bounced the ball gently twice, calmed herself down and aimed at the hoop. The first ball flew through the net smoothly. Loud cheers burst out instantly. She took the second shot without hesitation, and it sank perfectly too. The Hawks took the lead by one point.
Para2: In the loud cheers, Abby spotted her mother in the crowd.
Mom waved wildly with bright tears in her eyes, looking extremely proud. When the game ended with their victory, teammates surrounded Abby and patted her shoulders warmly. She finally understood that all her persistent practice had paid off. That night, Abby realized chances belonged to those who never gave up. She would keep training hard and wait for more opportunities to shine on the court.
