Famous Australian artist Guy Sebastian and his wife Jules launched The Sebastian Foundation, committed to building inner resilience (坚韧) and positive hope for the country’s young generation, especially those struggling with mental disorder.
As an internationally celebrated singer, he has achieved extraordinary musical success: record-breaking singles, numerous industry awards, and over 1.3 billion global music streams. In 2019, he was awarded Member of the Order of Australia for his outstanding contributions to community service. Despite decades of huge popularity and career glory, he always regards serving others as a priority.
Faced with rising mental pressure among teenagers, the couple set up the foundation in 2013. Its core goal is to equip young people with practical life skills to deal with growing challenges. The foundation funds Open Parachute, an in-school psychological health program created by a professional psychologist. Based on peer real-life experiences, it helps students handle social media pressure, mood swings, anxiety and self-image worries. Available both online and offline, the program serves schools in remote rural areas. Up to now, more than 210,000 students across Australia have gained practical emotional adjustment skills, and local teachers also receive effective teaching support.
Recently, Guy restarted his music creation after a long break, releasing a new studio album and a series of personal perfume products. He also expanded his career as a TV show coach and a film actor. To expand the influence of their charity project, the foundation has partnered with a mainstream shopping network to launch limited-edition themed T-shirts. All sales profits go to supporting youth mental health courses. Guy strongly believes that basic emotional management skills should be popularized in every classroom, and small public donations can help more teenagers grow up confident, balanced and strong.

A destructive fire broke out during building repair, claiming many lives. The loss was beyond imagination. Investigation showed two important causes: the foam plastic panels used to cover windows and walls were easy to catch fire, and the fire alarm systems in all affected buildings failed to give timely warnings, which severely blocked people’s escape from the buildings. This tragedy emphasized the urgent need for advanced fire safety materials and technologies.
Against this background, a research team led by professor Yu Shuhong from the University of Science and Technology of China has recently developed a new material that combines both early active fire warning and fire-resistant capabilities. This groundbreaking achievement represents a major step forward in fire safety engineering.
Biomimetic (仿生) materials — tough man-made materials inspired by nature — are widely used in fields such as construction and aerospace, where strong yet lightweight features are necessary. However, these materials have one big disadvantage. Their inner organic substances are not stable at high temperatures, so they are not safe enough when a fire breaks out. To address this issue, professor Yu’s team adopted a new strategy that combines atomic doping (原子掺杂) design with biomimetic structural design.
The performance of this new material is amazing. When exposed to a temperature of 250℃, it changes color in just 9 seconds, enabling early visual fire warning. Meanwhile, its well-organized internal structure greatly improves flame retardant performance, achieving a limiting oxygen index of 50%, which means the material shows excellent ability to prevent flame from spreading, better than many traditional fire-resistant materials.
The researchers point out that this work successfully combines structural design and functional design, and also creates a new way to develop high-performance structural materials for next-generation smart fire warning systems. This material is especially useful in crowded buildings. Its successful development will offer important technical support for future progress in fire prevention and control technologies.
8. Why does the author mention the fire tragedy first
A．To inform the reasons for the fire.
B．To report the loss of the disaster.
C．To present the investigation results.
D．To show the urgency of the research.
9. What is the main weakness of biomimetic materials
A．Instability under burning heat.
B．Insufficient toughness.
C．Excessive weight for aerospace.
D．Lack of organic components.
10. What does the underlined word “retardant” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A．Relevant. B．Warning. C．Resistant. D．Sensing.
11. What is the main purpose of this passage
A．To introduce a new fireproof material.
B．To compare different fire alarm systems.
C．To show the danger of buildings on fire.
D．To call for strict building construction rules.

The use of plastic has left massive waste on land and in oceans. Worse yet, plastic production heavily depends on fossil fuels, so it is closely linked to carbon footprints and climate change. For decades, chemists have been looking for a green solution to this problem. Now the efforts of thousands of scientists are finally paying off: they can produce plastics from waste carbon dioxide.
The core technology of turning CO2 into plastic is a special substance called catalyst (催化剂), which can speed up chemical reactions. In early experiments, scientists tried two simple ways — heating CO2 to high temperatures or mixing it with plenty of water. However, both methods consumed large amounts of energy and barely created useful plastic products. After repeated tests, researchers found that catalysts with copper work perfectly. They can make CO2 combine with other chemicals to produce polyurethane, a common plastic for daily goods.
This eco-friendly technology is no longer just an idea in labs; it has been put into real production. A German factory produces plastic goods containing 20% waste CO2. Compared with traditional ones made entirely from oil-based materials, they cut one fifth of fossil fuel consumption. A British company plans to launch CO2-based plastic products in two years. While a few experts doubt if the new products can last as long as traditional plastic, early test results prove their performance is the same. If we replace fossil fuels with CO2 as raw materials, environmental improvement will be remarkable.
Professor Peter Styring from the University of Sheffield points out that recycling waste CO2 as plastic raw materials will completely reshape the fuel industry. This method will greatly cut fossil fuel consumption and lower greenhouse gas emissions. Many scientists predict that CO2 plastic will account for one quarter of global plastic output within 50 years.
Though traditional oil-based plastic is still widely used today, it is far from a perfect choice. In the future, all the plastic around our daily life may be made from carbon dioxide in the air.
12. What is the key factor in turning CO2 into plastic efficiently
A．High-temperature heating.
B．New polyurethane.
C．Copper-containing catalysts.
D．Sufficient water supplies.
13. What does the green technology bring about
A．It boosts factories’ profits greatly.
B．It creates equally good plastics.
C．It fuels the oil production by 20%.
D．It fully replaces the old methods.
14. What is professor Styring’s attitude to the new technology
A．Approving of its low cost.
B．Doubtful about its real quality.
C．Worried about its safety.
D．Positive about its potential use.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A．A Green Future: Plastic from CO2
B．The Harm of Plastic Waste to Oceans
C．How to Turn CO2 into Daily Goods
D．Traditional Plastic and New Materials
二、七选五
Throughout history, the desire to save time and reduce effort has brought major technological advancements. We can order goods with one click and use AI assistants to draft our emails. ____16____ Many people have unpleasant experiences with supermarket self-checkout machines. Worse still, experts suggest that such convenience may cause hidden harm to our brains in the long run.
Modern technology has a deeper influence on humans: it changes our way of thinking. Convenience itself is not bad, but modern technology replaces our cognitive (认知的) effort.

Those easy gains are hard to leave deep impressions on our brains. ____17____ That explains why we can remember a tough road trip clearly but barely recall a perfectly smooth vacation.
____18____ To escape from small struggles, extreme convenience allows people to move directly from wanting something to having it. Skipping over those which can build valuable life skills means we will miss precious experiences for personal growth. And that, it turns out, is a serious problem.
Thankfully, experts offer many practical ways to add healthy struggles back into daily life. We can write by hand and shop in person. We can navigate (导航) without GPS occasionally. ____19____ These small efforts assist us to be involved in real life instead of seeking a quick fix.
Eventually, adding reasonable struggles does not mean making life unnecessarily hard. It is about engaging with personal life and creating real experiences. True growth and precious memories come from personal effort and trial. As convenience gainers, we ought to realize a simple truth: ____20____.
A．Hardship makes real life.
B．This easy life also brings troubles, though.
C．Moreover, we can avoid instant online searches.
D．Modern technology enables us to set a task effortlessly.
E．Evidence indicates that hard processing helps memories stick.
F．There is a harmful trend called “the disappearing middle of things”.
G．Reliance on modern tools prevents us from making survival decisions.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使其构成一篇完整的短文。
After a long period of illness and unemployment, my father finally found a low-paid job in another city. To pay off the debt, my mom had to work extra hours. From then on, my life changed. My mom, once warm and always there for me, became terribly busy. She left before I woke up and came back after I slept. I was sent to a boring daycare center after school. We only had a quick dinner together. Even Sundays were ruined by her chores (杂务). I often saw her work with piles of bills late at night. She looked tired, rubbing her eyes. But when I asked, she just smiled and said, “Nothing, dear. Go to sleep.”
One evening at dinner, I told her about the local fair I had been dreaming of. All my classmates talked about its exciting rides and bright lights. Nervously, I asked if we could go together the next Sunday. Mom paused, looking at the calendar on the wall, where red circles marked payday and bill deadlines. Then she said softly that she had to work that day. I complained we never spent time together and begged her to take a day off. She kissed my forehead, and said, “We’ll see.” But her voice sounded heavy. I chose to hold onto hope.
Sunday morning came. I ran to the kitchen, only to find Mom in her uniform, bag packed. My heart sank. She apologized, but tears filled my eyes. “You never care about me!” I whispered, as I hurried back to my room and shut the door. Mom knocked, asking me to come out for breakfast, but I refused. Soon, the front door clicked shut. She was gone. After a while, I went to the kitchen for food, telling myself I would never forgive her.

47 续写范文
On the table lay a plate of pancakes and a note. I picked up the note and read my mom’s words carefully. She wrote that she had taken the morning shift and would finish work early in the afternoon to take me to the fair. She made my favorite pancakes before leaving, hoping I could cheer up. Tears rolled down my cheeks. I realized how hard she struggled to support our family and how much she loved me. I felt ashamed of my bad temper just now. I waited patiently at home, eager to hug my mom and say sorry when she came back.
