For most of my life, I treated taste as fixed. Sticking to that belief had left me in a bit of a standstill. I stopped making time for new hobbies or trying anything new. Salsa lessons No, thanks. Interactive theatre Not for me. But my automatic “no” to anything that “wasn’t my thing” only kept me trapped in the same routine of work, sleep, eating, and that left me feeling listless and a little empty.
So, in an effort to break the boredom, I began to question whether my taste was fixed at all, or whether it might be something I could train. I had read that children need 8 to 15 tries to accept a new food. Why shouldn’t the same principle apply to social activities for adults
I started small. When a friend invited me to a book club, I tried not to refuse it, despite my dislike of reading due to dyslexia (阅读障碍症). But I went anyway. I listened to the first book and, to my surprise, enjoyed the discussion and the people. Now I spend mornings reading. Then came music and performance: jazz clubs, line dancing, performance — all things I had previously ignored.
Most recently, I tried out my local library’s chess club. I was easily 30 years younger than everyone else, but that didn’t matter. Honestly, getting beaten by someone who had been playing since before your parents met was a special experience. I felt more connected to people here than at any social event for 20-year-olds.
I made a weekly note in my diary to try new things, which helped me get out of the dull routine of studying, going home and feeling worn out every day. Now I simply count to five, approach the friendliest-looking person with a “hello”, and the awkward feeling goes away soon. Next week Who knows. Maybe magic lessons. Maybe life drawing. Maybe both.
24. How did the author’s fixed idea affect her
A．It simplified her daily routine.
B．It left her more time for work.
C．It made her life dull and empty.
D．It freed her from unwanted socializing.
25. Why did the author accept her friend’s invitation to a book club
A．To make an active shift in her life.
B．To revisit a former interest in reading.
C．To meet her friend’s repeated requests.
D．To occupy a blank in her personal calendar.
26. How did the author feel when losing the chess game
A．Totally relieved.　　B．Slightly puzzled.
C．Rather embarrassed.　　D．Somewhat delighted.
27. What message does the author try to convey
A．Learn to say no.　　B．Break out of your shell.
C．Look before you leap.　　D．Let go of the past.

A new study published in the Journal of Applied Ecology revealed when, where and how most songbirds migrate offshore over North American coasts. This data can help wind energy managers cut down on birds dying from hitting wind turbines (涡轮机) while generating sustainable energy.
The researchers studied 10 years of weather radar data from 16 sites and found that birds flying over the Atlantic Coast and the Gulf of Mexico gather more closely and move for a shorter time than those flying over land. More birds also migrate in fall than in spring. Shannon Curley, the study’s lead researcher, explained, “Birds migrate over the sea on fewer nights than over land. There’s no place to rest and refuel on the water, so birds may wait for ideal atmospheric conditions, such as favorable winds, before making an offshore crossing.”
This short yet critical time window gives wind energy managers a chance to reduce collisions (相撞). Curley said they could pause turbine work on nights when migration is most intense-a practice that is currently more common in Europe than North America. “These peak nights of migration tend to have fairly nice weather and calmer winds, and are therefore not the nights when wind operators have a huge energy harvest,”Curley noted. “So there might be a sweet spot where we can target these big migration nights and give these birds safe passage.”
The study also found that songbirds migrating offshore fly at lower altitudes than those migrating over land, potentially putting them at greater risk of wind turbine collisions. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says 140,000 to 327,000 birds die from land turbines each year. But no one knows how many die from offshore turbines, since dead birds’ bodies wash away easily. So using radar technology to identify high-risk areas is key.
With one-third of all American bird species rapidly declining, data-driven decisions about turbine siting and operations can point the way to sustainable energy while also saving birds. “Our hope is that this work will help identify high-risk, high-use areas for birds and contribute to positive green energy solutions,” Curley said.
28. What can we learn about the songbirds in paragraph 2
A．They favor flying over open seas.
B．They become more active on spring nights.
C．They are particular about where to rest.
D．They time crossings by weather conditions.
29. What does the underlined phrase “a sweet spot” refer to
A．An ideal balance.　　B．A moral dilemma.
C．An opportunity for profit.　　D．A place without turbines.
30. Why is it difficult to identify high-risk areas offshore
A．Birds change their travelling routes.
B．Wind strength at sea is unpredictable.
C．Dead birds’ bodies are hard to trace.
D．Radar technology is underdeveloped.
31. What does Curley think of the potential application of the new research
A．Risky.　　B．Promising.　　C．Productive.　　D．Challenging.
D
Literature students once read three books a week but today they struggle to make it through one in three weeks, Sir Jonathan Bate, a professor of English literature at the University of Oxford, has warned.
Many young people entering university to study literature have not read extensively (广泛地), and they often have difficulty doing so during their time at university. This is a growing trend that many academics have observed, although it isn’t always the case. Bate told the BBC’s Today programme, “The currently fashionable answer is that it’s to do with the reduced attention due to smartphones, six-minute YouTube videos and instant TikTok hits.”
“Actually it all begins in schools. You only have to look at the thinning of A-level syllabuses (教学大纲) and the tendency to assign works because they’re shorter,” Bate said.
He added that it was also “an unintended consequence of the push in both the top British and American universities towards diversity and access… as some students come from schools where the teachers’ main task is crowd control, and so the demands in terms of reading long books are just not there.”
State-funded charter (特许) schools in the US were an interesting phenomenon, however. “There’s a big comeback of classical education within these schools,” Bate said.
Bate explained that his son was exposed to an extensive variety of works. “My teenager has just graduated from a charter high school called Great Hearts and there they read Iliad, Odyssey, Inferno, Crime and Punishment. He came home one day saying that they had been praised for studying Hegel because it’s really difficult. I’m amazed that 17-year-old American kids are reading Hegel. So there is some hope.”
“If you haven’t got readers, what are writers going to do The deep, thoughtful, quiet reading of great books is good for mental health. It’s also good for developing skills, for concentration and critical thinking, and if that falls away, that is problematic for society and individuals.”
32. How does the author present the topic
A．By stating a worrying change.
B．By citing a research finding.
C．By explaining a cultural concept.
D．By describing a typical professor.
33. Which of the following does Bate think is a reason for the trend
A．Overuse of smartphones.
B．Limited access to literary works.
C．Insufficient school education.
D．Poor learning ability at university.
34. What does Bate imply by referring to his son
A．Classical education is not a lost cause.
B．The young are no strangers to classics.
C．Charter schools deserve more attention.
D．Great books are within teenagers’ reach.
35. What is a suitable title for the text
A．Literary Taste Gives Way to Screens
B．Deep Reading Benefits Mental Health
C．Literature Students Face a Reading Crisis
D．Traditional Education Makes a Comeback

If you have ever added an extra item to your cart just to get free shipping, you have fallen victim to what is known as “spaving”, defined as the act of “spending more to save more”. 36 Here are some tips and tricks you might turn to next time you are tempted to spend a little more just to secure some savings.
Take a second to do the math. The language of advertising may lead you to believe you are about to-get a great deal. 37 For example, for some “buy more, save more” deals, the percent discount is often the same. However, the original price of a product acts as an anchor, making the discount appear more valuable than it actually is. By doing the math, you’ll quickly realize that the savings aren’t as significant as they seem.
38 You won’t feel the impulse to shop sales if you don’t know about them. Consider taking yourself off the email lists from favorite brands so you are not getting informed every time a special is happening. Similarly, don’t walk into a store if you know there is a sale going on.
Stay focused on your shopping list. You can avoid adding extra items to your cart if you have a shopping list in hand that you’ve created ahead of time. 39 Keep a full list of products that you intend to buy at some point and refer to it when you come across a sale.
Pause before purchasing. 40 Carry out a 24-hour waiting period before making a purchase as well as to shop around, compare prices or even look for a renewed option. This gives you time to ensure you don’t already own the item or something similar, helping to avoid unnecessary repetition.
A．Turn off sales alerts.
B．Spave with a purpose.
C．But the numbers tell a different story.
D．But consider all the potential ways to save the money.
E．It can also help you to use sales more to your advantage.
F．Just take a moment to decide whether the buy is needed or not.
G．To avoid such a trap, it matters quite a lot to interrupt the urge.

67. 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。
Every Saturday morning, Emma walked to the lake near her house. It was a peaceful spot where the sunlight danced on the water and birds sang in the trees above. At the far end of the lake was an old wooden bench (长凳). Emma had made it her spot since moving to the neighborhood five years ago.
Now in her early sixties, Emma had recently retired from teaching. Her days were slower and quieter. Sitting by the lake brought her comfort and reminded her of the beauty in stillness.
One spring morning, she noticed someone on “her” bench — a teenage boy sat there, with earphones in, eyes fixed on the ground. Emma paused, unsure whether to approach. She walked slowly around the lake, hoping he might leave. But when she returned, he was still there. She sat at the edge of the bench, careful not to interrupt him. The boy didn't respond. After a while, Emma spoke, “It's a beautiful place, isn't it ” He said nothing at first. Then, without turning, he replied, “I guess. ”
From that Saturday on, the boy kept showing up. Emma adjusted. Sometimes they said nothing. Other times, she asked soft questions, and over the weeks, he gave short replies. His name was Theo. He was 16 and had just moved in with his grandparents after his parents' separation. One day, without her asking, he said, “I come here because it's quiet. Everything else is just loud. ” Emma nodded, “The lake has always helped me think. ” Their quiet company continued into summer. One day, he showed up with a sketchbook (写生簿) and drew the lake. Emma watched, amazed by his talent. “You're an artist,” she said. “You should enter the art contest in the community.” Theo gave a small smile.
Then one hot Saturday, Emma didn't come. Days later, still no Emma.
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150左右；

Worried, Theo couldn't wait to know what had happened to Emma.

五、书面表达范文
66. How would you use your smart phone
A survey has been carried out in our school about students’ ways of using smartphones. Most students spend most time chatting online or watching short videos, while only a small number use phones to look up learning materials.
Smartphones bring convenience but many students waste plenty of time on meaningless entertainment. It badly affects their study and rest.
In my opinion, we should make good use of mobile phones. We’d better limit our time on entertainment and turn to useful learning resources more often.
67. 读后续写范文
Worried, Theo couldn't wait to know what had happened to Emma. He wandered around the lake several times, hoping to catch sight of her. He asked passers-by about the old lady with grey hair, yet nobody knew anything. Finally, he went to her house nearby and met Emma’s daughter, who told him Emma fell ill and was in hospital. Without hesitation, Theo took his sketchbook full of lake drawings and rushed to the hospital. Seeing Emma weak in bed, Theo handed her the paintings and told her the coming art contest.
Encouraged by Emma in hospital, Theo entered the contest. He created a painting of the lake bench with two quiet figures sitting side by side, recording their warm meetings. His work won first prize. He brought the award certificate to Emma immediately. Seeing Theo’s success, Emma smiled with tears of joy. From then on, whenever Emma recovered and returned to the lake, they sat on the bench again, enjoying peace and each other’s company.
