In a busy community hall, a volunteer sits at a sewing machine, mending (修补) someone’s much-loved dress, while at another table, household tools are fixed. This is the Share and Repair Café, run by Transition Crich, a “share and repair” project, in the village of Crich.
This project began five years ago, when a local magazine asked if anyone was interested in coming together as volunteers to make their village more sustainable and environmentally friendly. “We’ve grown from just mending items to having craft activities, a café area, and stands from local groups,” says committee member Linda. Crucially, the group doesn’t charge for its services. “You don’t have to pay for your repairs. We just ask for donations to cover our costs,” says Linda.
Alan volunteers at the Share and Repair Café as part of the sharpening service, helping give new life to everything from kitchen knives to garden tools. “The community in Crich has been, and continues to be, an amazing support to my family, following my cancer diagnosis (诊断),” he says. “Getting involved has helped shape a positive mindset, and helped extend my time on the planet. Giving something back is the least I can do.”
This commitment to action is evident in other projects Transition Crich facilitates. A fashion show is coming up, too. People will write their creative ideas about sustainable clothing on pieces of fabric to call on individuals to fight against fast fashion.
Whether you are a volunteer or an event attendee, the community benefits greatly from being involved with Transition Crich. As we all know, loneliness is not limited to one particular group of society. What makes inclusion initiatives like Transition Crich truly wonderful is their ability to bridge generational gaps, bringing together people of different ages in ways that might otherwise be hard to achieve.
24. How does the Share and Repair Café cover its daily costs
A. By charging for tool repairs.
B. By selling handmade crafts.
C. By accepting voluntary donations.
D. By getting help from local magazines.
25. Why does Alan do volunteer work
A. To learn sharpening skills.
B. To take part in group activities.
C. To repay the community’s kindness.
D. To live in a better living environment.
26. What is the author’s attitude towards Transition Crich
A. Doubtful.
B. Approving.
C. Unconcerned.
D. Critical.
27. What benefit do volunteers and attendees gain from participating in Transition Crich
A. Mastering practical life skills.
B. Raising environmental awareness.
C. Enjoying various interesting activities.
D. Connecting with people of different ages.

Marine plastic pollution has long emerged as a severe global crisis, posing a serious threat to ocean ecosystems and the survival of marine life worldwide. For years, researchers have attempted various approaches to address this issue, but most traditional strategies have shown obvious limitations, failing to provide an effective solution. In contrast to these conventional methods, a research team at MIT has recently developed a novel chemical recycling technology, offering a groundbreaking alternative to this long-standing problem.
Unlike conventional mechanical recycling, which typically only processes clean plastic and results in degraded products, this new chemical approach offers a distinct advantage. It can effectively break down even polluted plastic waste recovered from the ocean into its fundamental chemical components, ensuring a much higher quality of recycling.
The technology operates on a straightforward yet efficient principle. It employs a low-temperature catalyst (催化剂) to dissolve common plastic waste—including bottles, fishing nets, and food packaging—into pure ethylene glycol (乙二醇), a crucial material for manufacturing new plastics, textiles, and even fuel. In field trials off the California coast, the system achieved an impressive 95% processing rate of collected ocean plastic with minimal waste, far surpassing the 60% average of mechanical recycling. Additionally, it consumes 30% less energy, thereby significantly reducing carbon emissions associated with plastic production.
Dr. Maya Patel, the project’s lead scientist, emphasized the technology’s transformative potential. “Mechanical recycling is merely a temporary solution,” she stated. “This chemical method transforms plastic waste into a valuable resource, closing the cycle on plastic production and easing the demand for new plastic gained from fossil fuels.”
The technology is currently undergoing practical evaluation by a global environmental organization, with plans to establish mobile recycling stations in coastal regions by 2026. While the initial setup costs are considerable, the researchers note that the economic value of the recycled materials will make it financially achievable for small coastal communities to adopt within three years.
28. Where do the differences between new and conventional technologies lie
A. Basic chemical components.
B. Cleanliness of processed plastic.
C. Final recycled products.
D. Recycling quality and efficiency.
29. Why does the author list figures in paragraph 3
A. To prove the new technology’s superiority.
B. To stress the urgency of pollution control.
C. To explain the working principle clearly.
D. To show wide uses of recycled materials.
30. What can be inferred about the new technology from the last paragraph
A. It’ll cut down the price of materials.
B. It’s highly valued by the government.
C. It will soon be applied in coastal areas.
D. It’s been used in many recycling stations.
31. What is the main idea of the text
A. Fossil fuels lead to ocean plastic pollution.
B. Mechanical recycling handles ocean plastic waste.
C. A new technology tackles ocean plastic efficiently.
D. Low-temperature catalyst helps dissolve plastic waste.
D
Today, I wake up and check my wearable tracker to see how many hours I’ve slept. Then I input what I eat for breakfast so I can monitor my calorie intake. My tracker also counts my steps, and I aim for at least 10,000 each day. And every once in a while, I monitor my heart rate and my blood oxygen level. It’s estimated that more than 1 in 5 American adults now use some kind of wearable biotracker. But does more data lead to better health
Trackers help individuals monitor their behavior or health, which can help bring awareness to areas of health that need to be improved. They can also help with motivation and goal setting and may also nudge people toward their goals by offering reminders. Studies show that the use of an activity tracker improved physical activity by an average of 1,800 extra steps each day. These devices also help monitor chronic (慢性的) conditions, providing useful information for doctors outside of regular visits.
But while there are undeniably many benefits to using wellness devices, studies have pointed to a number of potential risks as well.
Wearables often struggle to detect the difference between sleeping time and inactive behavior. What’s worse, over-reliance on trackers can harm mental health. Focusing too much on numbers may cause stress or anxiety. Some people become fascinated by exercise or calories, and others feel like failures if they don’t meet their goals. Matthews, a doctor of behavioral health, says, “Imagine if you have a technology that allows you to do that throughout the day, and you notice that your heart rate is higher than it was 10 minutes ago. Now it’s slower. It can open the door to a kind of neurotic (神经质的) behavior.” For these people, more information can be a source of physiological as well as psychological stress.
Trackers can be helpful, but we should not be controlled by data. We need to listen to our bodies instead of depending only on numbers. We should take periodic breaks from tracking and remember that we are more than just a set of numbers and data.
32. How does the author introduce the topic
A. By presenting exercise goals.
B. By sharing personal experience.
C. By praising the wearable tracker.
D. By estimating user numbers in the US.
33. What does the underlined word “nudge” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Warn. B. Push. C. Train. D. Protect.
34. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about wearable trackers
A. Their side effects.
B. Their usage methods.
C. Their psychological benefits.
D. Their medical value.
35. What’s the best title for the text
A. Our Health, Our Choices
B. Our Data, Ourselves
C. Our Bodies and Our Rules
D. Our Life with Smart Trackers
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Poetry has been used for centuries to comfort, inspire, and heal (治愈). 36 ____ Unlike ordinary speech, poetry uses rhythm, imagery, and metaphor to reach parts of the mind that logic alone cannot touch.
When we read a poem that mirrors our own feelings, we feel understood. This experience eases loneliness and helps us accept our emotions as they are. 37 ____ Many therapists (治疗师) recommend reading specific poems to patients struggling with grief or anxiety, as structured poetry provides a safe container for overwhelming feelings.
38 ____ Putting painful or confusing experiences into poetic form helps us process and make sense of them. You don’t need to be a skilled poet; simply trying to find the right words for a feeling can be deeply healing.
Poetry also changes how we see problems. 39 ____ This fresh perspective trains our mental flexibility, which is key to emotional strength, allowing us to move past rigid thinking patterns. For example, a poem about a broken vase might help reframe a loss as something that can be repaired or transformed.
Moreover, sharing poems with others fosters genuine connection. Reading a poem aloud in a group, whether in a classroom or a family setting, builds empathy and trust. In a time when digital communication often disconnects us, poetry offers a shared human experience—a moment when voices, breaths, and silences are synchronized (同步的). 40 ____
So next time you feel overwhelmed, try picking up a poem—or writing one. You might be surprised by its healing power.
A. Writing poetry is also powerful.
B. Writing slows down racing thoughts.
C. The secret lies in how it uses language.
D. These shared moments remind us we are never truly alone.
E. It serves as a safe outlet for feelings that are hard to express.
F. However, not everyone can benefit from poetry in the same way.
G. A good poem often presents a familiar situation from a strange new angle.

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。
I had perfected the art of becoming invisible. In the crowded school hallways, I knew exactly which route to take to avoid eye contact. When the teacher asked for volunteers, I would stare at my desk as if it contained the secrets of the universe. My name never appeared on any competition list, nor did my hand rise in any classroom discussion. I was the shadow that no one noticed—and I told myself I preferred it that way.
Then came Mr. Lewis’s history class. He assigned a group presentation on a local historical figure. “You’ll be presenting in front of the class,” he announced cheerfully. My stomach dropped. To make it worse, he randomly assigned groups. I was placed with Emma, the most outgoing girl in class, and Marcus, who never stopped talking. I could already imagine them doing all the work while I nodded along silently.
“Let’s meet at the library after school,” Emma said enthusiastically. I nodded without looking up, already planning to text her later that I was feeling sick. But when three o’clock came, my feet carried me to the library anyway, almost against my will.
Over the next week, something unexpected happened. Emma and Marcus listened—really listened—to my ideas. When I nervously suggested we act out a scene instead of just reading facts, they didn’t laugh. Instead, Marcus’s eyes lit up. “That’s actually brilliant,” he said. For the first time, my quiet voice found ears that wanted to hear it. By Thursday, I almost looked forward to our meetings. Almost.
The presentation day arrived. My palms(手掌) were sweating as we walked to the front. I had practiced my part a hundred times in front of my bedroom mirror, but now, when I faced my classmates, every word seemed to have vanished(消失) from my memory. My heart pounded so loudly that I was sure everyone could hear it. I wanted to run.
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。
Emma gave me a gentle push. “Your turn,” she whispered.
The presentation was over smoothly, but my heart was still racing.

My Life After Class
My after-school life is full of meaningful activities. After finishing homework, I spend one hour reading history books to broaden my horizons. Twice a week, I join the school running club to build up my body. On weekends, I volunteer at the community library to organize books.
These activities bring me huge changes. Reading makes me calm and thoughtful, while sports keep me energetic. Volunteering teaches me responsibility and the joy of helping others. My spare time helps me grow into a better person.

范文
Emma gave me a gentle push. “Your turn,” she whispered. Trembling slightly, I stepped forward. I took a deep breath and began to act out the scene we prepared. As I focused on the story, my nervousness faded little by little. My voice grew steady, and I even caught sight of warm smiles from my classmates. When I finished my lines, loud applause burst out across the classroom. Emma and Marcus gave me thumbs-up proudly.
The presentation was over smoothly, but my heart was still racing. Mr. Lewis praised our creative performance and specially mentioned my wonderful acting. Back to my seat, I realized I didn’t have to hide myself any longer. Later, I started to raise my hand in class discussions and join more group activities. I finally understood that being seen and heard was not scary, but a precious chance to show myself.
