The sun was setting on the vast Pacific Ocean when Captain Eduardo Rodriguez first spotted the small fishing boat. After floating(漂浮) for 55 days on the water, the five fishermen looked weathered, thin, but unbelievably alive. Vladimir, José, José Gabriel,Jhonny, and Jorge had become more than just fellow survivors during their terrible journey.They were now brothers, united by an experience that would forever connect them.
“I never thought we'd make it,” Vladimir said as the Ecuadorian rescue boat pulled alongside them. His fellow fishermen nodded, each lost in memories of their impossible survival.
Their adventure had begun as a fishing trip from Peru. Two days later, their boat's engine failed, leaving them powerless and directionless. Fortunately, they survived by collecting rainwater, fishing with temporary lines and sharing everything they caught. When there was little food, they talked about their families, their dreams, and their lives back home. Jhonny from Colombia would tell jokes that made everyone laugh. José would sing old Peruvian folk songs that kept their spirits high.
“We became a family out there,” Jorge later told reporters.“Not just fishermen from different countries, but true brothers.”
Their rescue was more than just a miracle(奇迹). It showed human connection that went beyond national borders.
As they arrived at the Galapagos Islands, local people gave them food and warm blankets. Children waved flags, international media gathered, and for a moment, these five ordinary fishermen became extraordinary symbols of hope.
“We didn't just survive,” Vladimir said with a smile.“We proved that when humans work together, nothing is impossible.”
The five fishermen, once strangers from different countries, were now united by an experience that would define their lives forever. And as they hugged their families and felt solid ground under their feet, they knew their real journey was just beginning.
24. How did the fishermen possibly feel upon seeing the Ecuadorian boat
A. Embarrassed. B. Hopeful. C. Uneasy. D. Bored.
25. How did the fishermen keep their spirits high
A. By planning ways to return home. B. By competing in fishing contests.
C. By arguing about survival strategies.D. By sharing something personal or interesting.

Giving has many benefits, but it isn't always easy. For example, if you suffer from depression(抑郁), you may find it hard to get up in the morning, let alone help others. But new research by Shenzhen and Peking Universities finds there may be a clever way to give. In the study, researchers arranged hundreds of young, depressed adults to either make daily micro- donations for two months or to be on a waiting list. Told that giving small donations helps improve society, participants were invited to donate at least one cent per day for the next two months to any charity.
Before and every week during those two months, all participants filled out questionnaires that were about their possible depression- related aspects: depressed feelings, lack of joy,physical discomforts, sleepiness, and interpersonal problems, as well as how often they felt positive and negative feelings.
After analyzing the results, the researchers found people who donated daily, even as little as one cent a day, felt significantly more positive than people on the waiting list. This, in turn,seemed to explain why they also felt less depressed each week. In other words, making donations,even small ones, helps improve mood(心情). And, though social connection wasn't necessary for deriving benefit, the study suggests donating could help depressed people who might otherwise refuse to practice kindness toward others, according to Jinting Liu, one of the study's coauthors.
Liu suggests this could be due to the fact that if you tend to feel depressed, focusing on others for a while gives you a break from thinking about yourself and your shortcomings. It's also possible that giving makes you feel better about yourself and that prevents the negative self- talk common to depressives.
Interestingly, although people who gave more generously felt a bit happier and less depressed than those who gave less, the difference wasn't big enough to be significant. This means even people with low means can make use of this simple activity.“Just doing something nice for others is great,” says Liu.“The amount of money isn't the key part; it's really about the kindness behind it.”
28. What information did the researchers collect about all participants
A. Their levels of depressive signs. B. Their willingness to donate.
C. The quality of their social life. D. The frequency of their sleepiness.
29. What does the underlined word“deriving” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Using. B. Reducing. C. Doubting. D. Getting.
30. Why might giving help depressed individuals
A. It ensures comfortable talks. B. It reduces self- focus time.
C. It encourages physical activity. D. It improves interpersonal relationships.
31. What can be learned according to the study
A. Giving is difficult to practice. B. Money amount determines results.
C. Tiny kindnesses remain helpful. D. Generosity is the key source of joy.

How do you beat the summer heat If you' re like most people, you turn the air conditioning on when it's the hottest time of the day. But what if you could use nonpeak(非高峰的) electrical hours and store the cold to use the next day This idea has become a reality for a New York City high- rise that's being cooled by ice.
Eleven Madison, a skyscraper in the heart of Manhattan, is using cool, frozen ice overnight to cool the building, reported CBS News. Four stories below ground, an ice battery system freezes water during the night, when electrical use is low, and uses this ice to cool the building during the day.“There's about 500,000 pounds of ice created every night,” said Holly Paeper, president of Trane Technologies, a company that did the installation(装置).
Air conditioning uses nearly 20% of energy use in homes and businesses globally. However,on extremely hot days, that number can jump to 70%. Installations like the one in Eleven Madison help to lower that. According to Paeper, the company has installed the technology in about 4,000 sites worldwide.
The system in the basement of Eleven Madison uses 100 tanks that are each the size of a parking spot. Because there's a lot of energy consumed in freezing water, a more effective way had to be found.“We take water, and add some other elements in it,” explained Dr. Patrick Shamberger, an associate professor at Texas A&M.“So we can take control of that temperature basically anywhere we want it, in the zero to 20℃ range.”
While ice batteries aren't being used to cool food or to power electrical devices, they' re being used to cool buildings. For now, combining ice batteries with other types of energy storage from renewables can help the power grid(电网) to keep up in hot weather as well as lower the cost of electricity. It's a win- win for all.
32. What does the author want to stress in paragraph 3
A. The popularity of the technology. B. The necessity of ice batteries.
C. The features of the high- rise. D. The significance of air conditioning.
33. Why were some elements added in the water
A. To make the water cleaner. B. To use the energy fully.
C. To control the temperature. D. To add space occupation.
34. What can be inferred about ice batteries according to the text
A. They are energy- saving. B. They are cheap to install.
C. They are extremely harmful. D. They are used to cool food.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Process of Ice Battery Production B. Power- hungry Air Conditioning
C. Advantages of Storing Electricity D. A Creative System for Cooling

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。
This was the first time I'd formally let my son Charlie try to do something on his own. At six years old, he was always eager to prove he was a“big kid”. Whenever I encouraged him to try small tasks like ordering food, his bright eyes would light up with excitement.
On a sunny afternoon, we passed a corner café ,and he suddenly said he want ed some water. I took a deep breath, fighting the desire to get it for him, and nodded, signaling he should go to the counter himself. I watched as he straightened his small body, slowly let go of the edge of his shirt, and took slightly hesitant steps forward—— like a young bird gathering the courage to fly for the first time.
He stopped at the counter, small hands holding the cold surface tightly and tiptoes reaching as high as they could go. For the first few minutes, he looked back at me from time to time, smiling with pride, his eyes saying,“Look how good I am.” But just then, a woman talking on her phone pushed through the door, walked straight to his side, and didn't even notice the little figure beside her. A moment later, a coffee shop worker, finally free from the rush, started to approach—— when the woman suddenly stepped forward and quickly placed her order.
Sitting at a corner table, I felt my heart jump into my throat(嗓子). I saw my son turn to the woman, saying something so softly that it was hard to hear. The woman lowered her phone, eyes widening as she really saw him for the first time.“Oh, honey, I'm so sorry,” she said, stepping back.“You were here first. Go ahead.” Her voice softened, carrying real regret.
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。
The waitress smiled at my son and asked,“What can I get for you, young man ”
As he went back, I stood and placed a hand on his shoulder.
