一、阅读理解
A
Producing and consuming clothing is a major source of global CO emissions. Every step in making clothes leaves a carbon footprint. Much of the impact comes from energy-intensive industrial processes. Here’s the emissions in 2025 across different stages of clothing production.
Making clothes more sustainable isn’t just about cutting emissions — it’s also about choosing the right materials. Each material has its own environmental cost. While no perfect solution exists yet, a range of alternatives are emerging.
“This material shift toward sustainable fashion is global, and the degree of change needed is unlike anything we’ve seen before,” says Stella McCartney, a pioneer in fashion design. It’s estimated that fashion consumption could grow by 60% by 2030, putting even more pressure on resources. “The future of fashion is restorative and regenerative by design,” adds McCartney.
1. What percentage does raw material production account for in 2025
A．7%. B．42%. C．29%. D．45%.
2. Which material helps reduce reliance on non-renewable fuels
A．Organic cotton. B．Sustainable rayon.
C．Plant-based leather. D．Recycled polyester.
3. What is McCartney’s opinion about the future of fashion
A．It will reduce carbon emissions.
B．It will improve clothing design.
C．It will promote material sustainability.
D．It will restrict resource consumption.
B
The demanding IB program became a real challenge with an overwhelming physics experiment on the third day of school. My teacher’s claim that no one could score above 90% really shook my confidence. This anxiety was fueled when my father voiced his concerns over my flat SAT progress — a necessity for a key university.
The ultimate blow to my breakdown was being unexpectedly turned down by the Regional Red Cross Youth Council. As vice president of my school’s association, I had never considered this failure. The Red Cross was the very thing I relied on to set me apart from other applicants. This rejection made my future seem unpredictable, and I broke like a rubber band stretched beyond its limit.
I found my mother who had sacrificed so much for me and poured out my fears. She listened attentively before drawing a circle on the tablecloth. “This is your time,” she began, “Eighty percent is schoolwork, ten percent the SAT, and ten percent extracurricular activities.” She then looked at me with deep emotion, adding, “But most importantly, at one hundred percent, is your health.”
She continued, “We want you to have a good job so you’ll be less stressed. If this path makes you so unhappy, it isn’t worth it; If you’re happier making burgers, so be it.” Her insight was a big relief, and I realized a rubber band doesn’t have to keep stretching. A rubber band that ties up your hair during the day but rests on your nightstand at night won’t break.
Though my routine remained unchanged, the fear of failure lost its power. I am still reaching for the moon, but I am no longer afraid of the fall. For I know that even if I miss, I will land right on the solid ground.
4. What is the main reason for the author’s breakdown
A．Uncertain future caused by rejection.
B．Demanding needs of IB program.
C．Challenging experiments of physics.
D．Overwhelming stress brought by SAT.
5. What does the author’s mother value most
A．The author’s promising future.
B．The author’s academic progress.
C．The author’s overall well-being.
D．The author’s commitment to schoolwork.
6. What does the “rubber band” refer to in paragraph 4
A．A level of mental stress.
B．A fear of potential failure.
C．A plan for future career.
D．A desire for personal success.
7. What is the text mainly about
A．Great ambitions blind the soul.
B．Warm hearts embrace the fall.
C．Selfless love eases deep anxiety.
D．Proper rest maintains inner strength.
C
In 2022, I was named the national student poet, one of the country’s highest honors for youth writers. Recently, I took an online quiz comparing AI-generated poetry with classic human poems. Yet, I faced a humbling reality: I couldn’t tell the difference between a masterpiece by T.S. Eliot and an AI-generated piece.
Apparently, I am not alone. A study showed that people prefer to appreciate AI-generated poems over those by famous poets like Emily Dickinson. Interestingly, AI-written poetry was rated higher in terms of “rhythm and beauty”. This suggests AI is surpassing humans in creative fields like essay writing and painting. Many in the literary community feel upset, but I believe the problem lies with us, not the AI.
The real issue lies in our declining literary patience. Today, fewer people read or listen to poems regularly. When people meet poetry, they are often drawn to “Insta-poetry” — short, straightforward poems popularized on social media. While this form of poetry is more accessible, it fails to challenge people to interpret deeper meanings like traditional poetry.
This helps explain why AI poetry may feel more attractive. The words of AI don’t come from reality but from an algorithm (算法) based on data. When exposed to AI-generated poems, people do not have to slow down, reread a line, or think hard about a difficult metaphor. Human poetry, by contrast, often asks people to struggle with uncertainty. It may not offer an immediate answer, but an invitation to enter another mind and another experience.
My encounter with AI was less of a defeat than a wake-up call — the true value of poetry lies in the life-long process of uncovering what we have yet to understand. When I mistook a T.S. Eliot poem for AI, I found out there was another beautiful poem I had yet to appreciate, and a lot more room for me to grow.
8. Why does the author mention an online quiz in paragraph 1
A．To show the decline of masterpieces.
B．To inspire the reflection on AI poetry.
C．To introduce the development of technology.
D．To emphasize the focus on traditional poems.
9. What does the underlined word “surpassing” mean in paragraph 2
A．Outperforming. B．Respecting. C．Disturbing. D．Inspiring.
10. What can we infer from paragraph 4 about the human poetry
A．It follows fixed patterns.
B．It avoids deep metaphors.
C．It demands mental effort.
D．It provides instant pleasure.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards AI-generated poems
A．Intolerant. B．Objective. C．Prejudiced. D．Doubtful.
D
Are you upset because your phone battery dies too quickly and have to charge it twice a day
This common problem, affecting countless electronic devices, might soon be a thing of the past. A recent study found that injecting an organic lithium salt into used-up batteries could restore lost lithium ions (锂离子), greatly extending their lifespan.
Researchers in China have developed a revolutionary method to significantly extend the lifespan of lithium-ion batteries. These batteries, used in our smartphones, laptops, and electric cars, gradually lose their capacity. The core issue is that during normal use, some vital lithium ions, carrying energy, become inactive. Scientists call these inactive ions “dead lithium”. Once formed, this “dead lithium” reduces the battery’s ability to store power, making it less efficient and unusable.
Unlike traditional methods, this team viewed “dead batteries” as “sick patients” that could be cured. Their innovative solution involves a simple technique: injecting an organic lithium salt directly into the battery. This special chemical acts like a medicine, reactivating the “dead” lithium ions and restoring their function.
The results of this treatment are remarkable. While a typical lithium-ion battery might last for about 500 to 2,000 charge cycles, this new injection method can boost its life to an astonishing 60,000 cycles. As one researcher stated, “This has never been achieved before.” This means our devices could function effectively for decades, reducing the need for frequent battery replacements and waste.
Beyond personal electronics, this technology holds great promise for sustainability. China uses lithium-ion batteries in new energy vehicles (NEVs) and for storing solar and wind power. With the advantages of being pollution-free, cost-effective and widely applicable, the innovative method provides a brand new solution to the problems of lifetime limitation of battery materials, and is expected to have a far-reaching impact in the field of energy storage.
12. What leads to the loss of lithium battery capacity
A．The loss of organic lithium salt.
B．The damage of dead batteries.
C．The transfer of special function.
D．The generation of dead lithium.
13. What’s the feature of the research according to paragraph 4
A．Following traditional chemical methods.
B．Adopting medical-style thinking models.
C．Involving extremely complex procedures.
D．Applying high-cost treatment techniques.
14. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．Wind power drives new electric vehicles.
B．Energy storage problems decrease pollution.
C．Technical innovation brings bright prospects.
D．Personal electronics limit sustainability fields.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Clean Energy “Saves” Battery Cells.
B．Inactive Ions “Restore” Lost Energy.
C．Charge Cycle “Boosts” Battery Lifespan.
D．Chemical Injection “Cures” Sick Batteries.

47. 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。
Tom and his mother lived far from the city. His only hobby was wandering in the nearby forest. Within the vigorous forest lies a shiny lake, where clear water mirrors tall trees all around. Inspired by the beauty and liveliness of nature, he desired to become a great artist and present all the breath-taking scenes to the world.
Tom studied in the local primary school. Life was not easy for Tom and his mom after his father died. Knowing what hard work his mother did to make ends meet, Tom really didn’t want his mother to worry. His mother knew the significance of education but she was against his dream of becoming an artist. “The profession of artist can’t aid a person in meeting his daily expenses,” she would say. However, Tom’s passion for art grew stronger each day.
Due to the living circumstances, even buying some new colors would be a luxury. Tom only used the worn drawing file and limited colors for his daily practice. Though lacking fine painting materials, he never gave up drawing. He spent a lot of time staying in the forest, secretly perfecting his craft. With continuous hard work and a distinct gift for art, he drew beautifully.
One day, Tom noticed a poster about a painting contest whose first-prize winner would receive money prize as well as a set of professional painting supplies. He saw the perfect opportunity to achieve his dream but he was in a dilemma as for the contest he needed special paints and some brushes. He didn’t have the courage to ask his mother for money as he knew her prejudice against art.
That evening his mom returned from work and handed him some money, saying, “This is for your lunch at school next month.” The money was enough for his desired materials! Tom’s face lit up.

（1）续写词数应为150个左右。

Early the next morning, Tom secretly left home with the money.
