“Life is not easy for any of us. We must have perseverance, and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for 16 and that this thing must be 17.” — Marie Curie. I believe this 18 is true. In some cases life can be difficult to persevere because you may 19 at any moment. Some people don’t like to make their ways forward and keep going. Sometimes it is most comfortable to 20. These people often turn in the wrong direction. I 21 that as long as they persevere, they can get through the challenges and 22 reach their goal.
When in Grade 8, I was assigned to 23 a literary essay on each Friday. The task was very challenging, and I couldn’t find time to both read books and write an essay about it. I 24 wish I would have tried harder and put as much 25 into the essay as possible. I always seemed to be close to writing a successful essay. However, I 26 consult related materials needed and often made it harder on myself. The essay I wrote first was a 27. This made me realize that what I had done was not enough and I must change my 28 and try my very best. Before writing I’d looked through a lot of books related to my essay. Gathering materials in the library was very 29, but I never gave up. Because I made good preparations, my essay was well written. For that I was 30 by my teacher.
I see perseverance in many 31 people around me. They have abilities to complete tasks on time, regardless of how much they 32 them. I hope that in the future I will be able to persevere more frequently and33. I believe working hard will pay off. Now I’m on my way to becoming a writer. I know realizing my goal isn’t 34, and it takes determination and effort. However, I believe if I keep up my 35 and persevere, I’ll probably make it come true.

第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2.5分，满分50分）
A
Getting into college is a big step for high school graduates, and it comes with a lot of changes. For most students, it’s the first time they’re living away from home and managing their own life. Not surprisingly, adapting to this new lifestyle can be challenging. The following four tips will make high school graduates better prepared for college life.
Goal setting
When setting goals, whether they’re academic, career, or personal, remember they should be attainable but not too easy, so that you really have to push yourself to achieve them, and feel rewarded when you do. Writing down your goals and breaking down each huge, long-term goal into smaller more practical ones can help make it feel more real, and writing out a plan for achieving it can give you a roadmap to success.
Interpersonal skills
At college, you will interact with fellow students, professors, librarians, and many others. Strong interpersonal skills will help you build relationships during this time, and get more out of them. If you feel that your interpersonal skills need some work, practice asking thoughtful questions and listening closely, develop your understanding by putting yourself in someone else’s shoes, and enhance your self-confidence.
Studying
With fewer in-class hours and more on-your-own learning, you’re required to really digest learning material rather than simply memorize facts. To be successful in college you’ll need to learn how to integrate large amounts of information obtained through reading, do research, and write papers. Organization is the key, so if you are not someone who is naturally organized, set up your study schedule.
Budgeting
Managing money is a critical life skill, and for many, it is at college that they develop it for the first time. Start by estimating your financial balance. Then give high priority to the expenses on basic needs and determine how much money to set aside every month to cover those costs. Don’t forget about savings…and the fun stuff(movies, dinners out), too.
36. Who is this passage most probably written for
A．College teachers.
B．University graduates.
C．High school teachers.
D．Would-be college students.
37. What is the author’s suggestion for reaching a huge goal
A．Divide it into smaller, more achievable ones.
B．Reward oneself for each goal one has set.
C．Purchase a clear, updated roadmap.
D．Push oneself to an upper level.
38. One of the suggested ways to enhance your interpersonal skills is to ________.
A．prepare complicated questions
B．try on someone else’s shoes
C．listen to others carefully
D．take advantage of others
39. What is the key to successful college study according to the author
A．Being well-organized.
B．Being well-informed.
C．Effective reading skills.
D．Reliable research methods.
40. To learn how to manage money, the first thing to do is________.
A．save money for financial investment
B．estimate one’s income and expenses
C．set aside money for fun activities
D．open a personal bank account
B
After nearly a century’s wait, Chinese architect, preservationist and poet Lin Huiyin, who passed away in 1955, was awarded a posthumous Bachelor of Architecture degree by the University of Pennsylvania in May 2024.
Lin was among the first Chinese students to study at Penn. She came in 1924 and chose to pursue a degree in fine arts because the university’s architecture program, which she was deeply passionate about, didn’t open its doors to female students until 1934. Back then, there were concerns about women’s ability to work late nights and conduct fieldwork. But Lin finished most of the coursework required for the architecture degree anyway. She completed her studies with outstanding grades and often performed better than her male classmates, but she was still deprived (剥夺) of the architecture diploma.
After graduating from Penn, Lin returned to China and worked to preserve ancient architectural treasures. Along with her husband Liang Sicheng, she devoted herself to documenting old structures for many years. This led to her discovery of the main hall of the Foguang Temple in Shanxi in 1937. She also helped design China’s national emblem (国徽) and the Monument to the People’s Heroes. Her efforts continue to inspire generations of people in China and beyond.
Awarding Lin a degree in architecture is a great step towards addressing historical injustice faced by women. Fritz Steiner, dean of Penn’s Weitzman School of Design, says that excluding Lin and other female students of her time from the architecture program “was not right.” “All the men from China received full scholarships and Lin got half of one. She was the only woman and the only student who wasn’t allowed to get an architecture degree,” says Steiner. “But she earned that degree.” In this move, the university is taking the right step in recognizing the achievements of its female alumni.
Meanwhile, the diploma serves as a reminder that Lin was a distinguished architect. At present, she is better known for her poems and her romantic stories. There is the belief that Lin came to Penn because she wanted to accompany her future husband. Records, however, show that Lin was occupied with her own studies since she needed to graduate in three years.
Social norms (准则) of the early 20th century restricted Lin’s professional pursuits and created biased (有偏见的) perception of her, but she responded by producing extraordinary achievements in school and beyond. Describing her as an architect shows our respect for her determination in this field and her contributions to society. Lin herself wanted to be remembered as an architect, as was carved on her grave: “Architect Lin Huiyin”.
When looking at the lives of Lin and other female professionals, we must keep in mind the challenges they faced throughout their careers accepting their public characterizations, we need to learn and celebrate the ways in which they wished to be defined.
41. What can be inferred from the fact that Lin Huiyin studied at Penn
A．She did better than her classmates but didn’t get a degree.
B．She studied more courses than she should have and performed well.
C．The university had a strict policy for international students’ duration of study.
D．Her primary goal was to return to China to assist her husband as soon as possible.
42. Lin’s contributions to the national emblem and the monument were mentioned primarily to ________.
A．contrast her practical achievements with her poetic sensibility
B．highlight the collaborative nature of her work with her husband
C．provide concrete evidence of her architectural capabilities and impact
D．demonstrate the superiority of her later work over her academic records
43. What can be inferred from Fritz Steiner’s comments about Lin Huiyin
A．Lin’s academic performance justified her qualification for her degree.
B．The university has been slow to correct its past discriminatory practices.
C．Lin received more financial support than other Chinese students at Penn.
D．Female students at Penn now receive equal opportunities in architecture.
44. Regarding the historical bias against women, the author’s attitude towards the University of Pennsylvania’s recent action can best be described as ________.
A．cautious comments on its symbolic value in correcting a past wrong
B．strong criticism for its delay and the inadequacy of the gesture
C．unbiased analysis of its procedural fairness and institutional motives
D．wholehearted approval for finally establishing historical truth
45. What broader insight can be most probably developed from Lin Huiyin’s story
A．Defining a person often involves challenging social norms of one’s era.
B．Personal relationships often overshadowed women’s professional achievements.
C．Architectural education was exceptionally restrictive for women in the past.
D．Symbolic gestures are the primary way to address historical academic injustices.
C
In an effort to fight plastic pollution, Indian company EnviGreen has produced a new material that looks like plastic, but is 100% organic and eco-friendly. You can even dispose (处理) of such a “plastic” bag by eating it.
EnviGreen founder Ashwath Hedge came up with this idea after seeing people struggling to find alternatives to plastic bags, following bans released by several Indian cities. So he decided to work on something that would solve this problem while being environment-friendly.
Hedge spent four years experimenting with various materials, but one day he discovered a combination of 12 ingredients, including potatoes, corn, vegetable oil, bananas etc, which looked and felt like plastic, but caused none of the environmental problems. The process is obviously a closely-guarded secret, but Hedge did reveal that the raw materials are first changed into liquid form, and then taken through a six-stage process to create the bags.
The cost of an EnviGreen bag is about 35% higher than that of a plastic bag, but the benefits of using the former are more than worth the extra cost. EnviGreen bags dissolve naturally in less than 180 days, and if placed in water at room temperature, they dissolve in less than a day. Placed in boiling water, they dissolve in about 15 seconds.
EnviGreen has begun to produce EnviGreen bags for commercial use. The company has set up a factory in Bangalore, where it produces around 1,000 tons of eco-friendly “plastic” bags a month. That’s not very much, considering that the city of Bangalore alone consumes over 30,000 tons of plastic bags every month, but Hedge says that he wants to set up enough factories before they start distributing to individual customers. They have started supplying the bags to big supermarkets like Metro and Reliance. Apart from protecting the environment, Hedge also plans to use EnviGreen bags to support local farmers.
Nowadays, over 15,000 tons of plastic waste is produced in India every day, only 9,000 of which are collected and processed. Inventions of EnviGreen can help solve this problem, so let's hope it lives up to its potential.
46. What can we know about EnviGreen bags
A．They give out wonderful smells.
B．They cost much less than plastic bags.
C．They are beneficial to the environment.
D．They are developed by the Indian government.
47. We can learn from the passage that ________.
A．it is very easy to produce EnviGreen bags
B．EnviGreen bags are made from various fruits
C．the details of how to make EnviGreen bags aren’t made public
D．the Indian government has banned plastic bags across the country
48. EnviGreen bags dissolve most quickly when they are ________.
A．thrown in the wild
B．washed in cold water
C．buried in the soil
D．put in boiling water
49. What can we infer about EnviGreen bags from the passage
A．Individual customers cannot buy them so far.
B．They will replace all plastic bags in India soon.
C．They are not well-accepted by big supermarkets.
D．Local farmers are in great need of EnviGreen bags.
50. What does the author think of EnviGreen bags
A．Wasteful.
B．Practical.
C．Ridiculous.
D．Crazy.
D
Earth’s biggest problem, according to Douglas Adams, is quite simple: the species of clever ape (猿) that thinks it runs the joint (有控制权，有主导地位) is mostly unhappy most of the puter scientist Cal Newport now adds email to the list of life’s troubles. In his book A World Without Email, he argues this once-brilliant invention has made us suffer.
Newport says we’ve become slaves to email trapped in a “hyperactive hive mind” — the reality in which everyone, everywhere, can communicate with everyone else with ease. Studies have shown how dominant email has become in ordinary office life. The average knowledge worker sends and receives 126 emails daily, which ruins focus, making them less productive and more irritable (易怒的).
All of this might be bearable but for one problem: the mismatch between modern electronic messaging and our own information-processing capacity. Multitasking is a myth. We can’t think clearly while dealing with an overflowing inbox (爆满的收件箱). We’re born to prefer real-time conversations, where everyone gets updates together. Back in small tribes (部落), we needed daily chats to feel connected. Now, in a digital world, that ancient urge makes us anxious if we don’t reply to every email instantly.
Despite his book’s title, Newport isn’t against all electronic messaging. What drives him to desperation is how we use it. With office workers nodding in hearty agreement, Newport offers some solutions. A German company invented the No Email Day. Productivity went up, even though it shortened the work time. The goal was for everyone to approach their work more deliberately without rushing. Some companies use an application called Trello to allow workers to access the necessary data and decide when to jump in and get things done.
Handling email when it’s out of control is like being pecked (啄) by a flock of geese. But changing this won’t be easy. Our need for focused thinking conflicts with the Dopamine Economy — something designed to keep us unable to resist constant messages. Still, Newport thinks regaining control of our time might be the key to being happier at work.
51. What is a consequence of handling numerous emails daily
A．A drop in work efficiency.
B．A lack of social connections.
C．A change in office culture.
D．A rise in communication skills.
52. What’s the meaning of “hyperactive hive mind” in paragraph 2
A．A busy work state.
B．A peaceful team spirit.
C．A creative thinking way
D．A healthy life habit
53. What causes our anxiety about unreplied emails according to paragraph 3
A．The lack of real-time conversations.
B．The myth of modern office multitasking.
C．The mismatch with our ancient urges.
D．The overflow of daily digital information.
54. What is the purpose of introducing the No Email Day
A．To shorten the daily work time.
B．To help workers work more deliberately.
C．To test a new digital application.
D．To stop all electronic messaging completely.
55. What is the best title for the text
A．The Invention of No Email Day
B．How to Be Happy at Work
C．The Rise of the Dopamine Economy
D．Escaping the Trap of Email Overload

Emily Carter, a dedicated nurse at Riverside Hospital in Florida, has been caring for patients for over eight years. She believes that nurses are not only healthcare providers but also emotional support for patients and their families. They possess a unique ability to understand the fears and concerns of those in their care.
One evening during her shift, Emily noticed an elderly patient, Mr. Thompson, looking particularly anxious. When Emily approached him, he confided that he was worried about undergoing surgery the next day, especially since he had no family nearby to support him. An idea suddenly struck Emily. “How about I sit with you for a while and we can talk about it ” she suggested warmly.
After Mr. Thompson agreed, Emily pulled up a chair and spent the next hour listening to his concerns and sharing her own experiences. As they talked, his anxiety began to fade. Soon, other patients in the room became curious and started asking if they could join the conversation. “Can we talk with Nurse Emily too ” they asked.
Now, Emily dedicates part of her shift to providing emotional support to patients, especially those who feel isolated or anxious. She organizes small group discussions to help patients connect with one another. “Emily is incredibly compassionate and brings a sense of comfort to our hospital. She makes everyone feel valued and heard,” said Dr. Smith, a fellow nurse.
For Emily, what began as a simple act of kindness has transformed into a profound commitment to her patients’ well-being. She used to spend her breaks in the staff lounge, but after realizing the difference she could make, she chose to engage more with her patients. It brings her joy to see their faces light up as they share their stories. She loves how building connections can foster healing and hope.
