2025: A Record Year for Global Wind Power
2025 marked a turning point for the global wind power field. According to the World Wind Energy Association (WWEA), the world added a record 169,014 Megawatts (MW) of new wind capacity — a 35% increase over 2024. This represents the highest growth rate in recent years. Today, wind power generates enough electricity to meet over 11% of global demand, even going beyond nuclear energy for the first time.
This record-breaking expansion was mostly driven by China. In 2025 alone, China accounted for 77% of global additions. The following chart illustrates the current distribution of the world’s total wind power capacity among major players:
However, outside China, growth remained uneven. While countries like India, Vietnam, and Chile showed rapid pace of development, many other traditional markets fell short of expectations. Experts suggest that for the world to meet more ambitious climate targets, countries outside China must significantly speed up their efforts.
The WWEA’s long-term vision is to reach 10,000 GW of wind power by 2050, which would supply 40% of global electricity demand. To reach this goal, the world must double or triple its annual installations (装机量). A significant percentage of this growth could come from “repowering” — the process of replacing aging wind machines with newer, more powerful ones. However, this will require governments to establish appropriate frameworks and provide financial support.
To secure a wind energy future, we need policy reforms to boost investment, enhanced international cooperation for a sound supply chain, and targeted education and training to cultivate skilled workers.
1. What does the chart show about total wind capacity
A．China ranks far ahead of others.
B．The data is missing for Europe.
C．Nuclear power remains stronger.
D．Listed countries have equal capacity.
2. What is the expert’s main concern in paragraph 3
A．Rapid growth of traditional markets.
B．Markets’ falling wind power.
C．Imbalanced growth of global wind power.
D．China’s growing wind power.
3. What helps wind power growth
A．Less replacement of old machines.
B．Reduced global electricity demand.
C．Enough financial and policy backing.
D．Weakened international cooperation.

As graduation approaches, I am forced to face the fact that I am getting older. In particular, I’m now older than my dad’s students. My dad is a professor, and I grew up on the campus where I now study.
The first realization hit me just before I started college. I was helping my dad clean his small office, which he had occupied longer than I’d been alive. The walls showed childhood drawings that my sister and I had made. Even though I was looking at my past, I realized I would soon be starting a new chapter of my future. “It’s strange,” I thought. “I’m about to be the same age as my dad’s incoming first-year students.”
The next time I reflected on my age was during a summer archaeology (考古学) project in Bermuda, my dad’s yearly field school. Walking back to camp one night, I realized that, as a senior student, I was older than most of the others on the project. This was especially odd because the last time I visited Bermuda, I was only ten. Back then, I was just a child playing on the shore, taking students’ attention away from their studies. I realized that the student who used to watch me play was probably younger then than I.
Being a “campus brat” — a child of a teaching staff — has its ups and downs. I enjoyed the free food at university receptions, but there were downsides too. For example, the piano lessons I took as a kid showed up on my official college transcript (成绩单). I don’t think future employers need to know I got a B + in piano in 2009!
Now, as I prepare to graduate, I’ve reached another milestone. I am already older than most undergraduates, and I recently realized I’m even older than some incoming graduate students. While these observations might seem small, they are part of my unique experience. Graduation means leaving this familiar world behind, but these memories will stay with me.
4. What can be inferred from paragraph 2
A．A new life stage was beginning.
B．Her father was unwilling to leave office.
C．The author was anxious about college life.
D．The author missed her childhood drawings.
5. What does the experience in Bermuda show about the author
A．She preferred playing to studying.
B．Her favorite subject was archaeology.
C．Her status had changed over time.
D．She was the youngest on the project.
6. Why does the author mention the piano lessons
A．To prove her musical talent.
B．To illustrate her downsides.
C．To show her academic excellence.
D．To explain her college transcript.
7. What is the best title for the text
A．My Father’s Academic Life
B．The Secret of Bermuda
C．Challenges of Starting College
D．Growing Up as a Campus Brat
C
Earth’s magnetic (磁的) field is a major defense against space radiation. Galactic cosmic (宇宙的) rays, which travel through the universe with incredible power and speed, are a source of radiation. Thanks to Earth’s strong magnetic field, these particles (粒子) are usually blocked, protecting our planet. However, new data from China’s Chang’e 4 lunar lander shows that this field is even stronger than we thought, stretching even beyond the moon.
In a recent study, researchers described a “cavity (something like a hole)” in space between Earth and the moon. In this area, cosmic rays are deflected (使偏转) by Earth’s magnetism. This suggests that the effects of our planet’s magnetic field reach much farther than anyone expected. Launched in 2018, Chang’e 4 was the first spacecraft to land on the far side of the moon. Scientists had long assumed the moon lay beyond Earth’s protection, but 2019 data suggested the moon was somewhat protected.
The finding came as “a surprise”, according to Robert Wimmer-Schweingruber, a co-author of the study. He thought it was an error in the data until further testing was conducted. As he explains, cosmic rays come from stars and black holes with different energy levels. The highest-energy particles move quickly through the solar system, while some of the weaker particles linger — and their radiation could affect the skin of astronauts.
Knowing more about radiation between the moon and Earth could help scientists plan safer missions. Protecting astronauts from radiation is essential for long-term space exploration. For example, if humans land on the moon in the future, astronauts could schedule activities outside their shelters while the moon is within the influence of Earth’s magnetic field.
“It is a brilliant research, and it just shows us that the more we study phenomena outside of our planet, the more we discover we don’t know,” says Philip Metzger, a professor of space technology. “That’s why we need to do space missions.”
8. What does the new finding reveal about Earth’s magnetic field
A．It blocks no rays.
B．It’s more powerful.
C．It fails to protect the moon.
D．It stays inside the Earth.
9. What does the underlined word “linger” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Become weaker.
B．Disappear soon.
C．Stay longer.
D．Move quickly.
10. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about
A．The future of space missions.
B．The limitation of magnetic field.
C．The influence of space radiation.
D．The significance of the finding.
11. What does Philip Metzger imply in his statement
A．Space research matters.
B．We know all space facts.
C．Space study wastes energy.
D．Missions bring little value.
D
Childhood obesity has become a serious public health problem across the US. Official data indicates that one in five American children and teens met the standard for obesity in 2024. For decades, people have fought this problem mainly by promoting healthy diets and regular exercise. However, researchers at Yale now suggest that another important factor should be added to that list: reducing stress in parents.
Led by psychologist Rajita Sinha, the research proves that parental stress can be a big contributor to the development of childhood obesity. As Sinha puts it, stress relief serves as “the third leg of the stool (三角凳)” in preventing childhood obesity. Past studies have found that stressed parents are more likely to depend on fast food and break regular family routines, which will negatively affect children’s eating habits. Regrettably, most current prevention programs ignore parental stress, so they fail to bring long-lasting effects.
The researchers carried out a 12-week test with 114 parents whose overweight children were aged 2 to 5. Participants were divided into two groups. The PMH (Parent Mental Health) group learned stress-relief skills together with diet and exercise guidance, while the control group only received advice on nutrition and sports. The researchers kept track of parents’ stress levels, parenting behaviors and children’s weight throughout the test and three months afterwards.
The results were surprising. Parents in the PMH group felt less stressed and behaved more positively. Their children ate fewer unhealthy foods and gained little extra weight later. By contrast, no obvious improvements appeared in the control group, and their kids were far more likely to fall into the obesity risk group.
This research is part of Yale Stress Center’s ongoing work. It offers a new approach to handling childhood obesity. The team plans to conduct longer-term studies on the PMH program with more families, hoping to gain deeper insights into fighting childhood obesity and related long-term illnesses.
12. What do Yale researchers advise people to do
A．Collect more official health data.
B．Pay more attention to kids’ daily exercise.
C．Help parents relieve their stress.
D．Change children’s eating habits gradually.
13. What is Sinha’s attitude towards current obesity prevention programs
A．Doubtful. B．Confused. C．Uninterested. D．Supportive.
14. What change happened to kids in the PMH group
A．They ate even more junk food.
B．They gain extra weight easily.
C．They became busy doing sports.
D．They almost put on no weight.
15. What will the team do next
A．End the PMH program.
B．Run longer studies.
C．Cure long-term illnesses.
D．Stop researching obesity.

A Beginner’s Guide to Growing Your Own Food
If you’ve ever thought about growing your own vegetables, start now! Whether you have a big backyard or a small balcony, you can garden and grow fresh food. 16_____ It is rewarding, fun, and even failures teach you important lessons.
To succeed, understand your growing environment first. Observe how many hours of sunlight your space gets and choose crops accordingly. Also, pay attention to the earth you use. Aim for rich, well-draining soil. 17_____ Once you understand your growing conditions, select crops that match your space and taste. Radishes, beans and peas grow rapidly, which makes them particularly suitable for beginners.
18_____ Fill trays (托盘) with pipe holes using a seed-starting mix. Plant each seed to the depth shown on its package, then cover it lightly with soil and water gently. Label every pot with the plant name and planting date. Keep the soil wet — but not flooded — and place the trays in a warm spot. Check on your seedlings daily and water them when the surface feels dry.
After the final frost has passed, gradually move your young plants outdoors. This process, known as “hardening off”, involves bringing the seedlings outside for a few hours each day. 19_____ Once they have adjusted, transplant (移植) them on a mild day and water thoroughly. Adding cover around each plant can prevent the soil from losing water too quickly.
Growing even a modest amount of your own food is deeply satisfying. 20_____ It also develops patience and responsibility. Start small, and do not let mistakes discourage you. Every failure provides a valuable opportunity to learn.
A．Next comes how to start seeds indoors.
B．Gardening connects you to nature in a beautiful way.
C．It helps them get used to the weather and reduces stress.
D．Testing your soil before planting is always a smart move.
E．Harvest your crops when their moisture content is highest.
F．It connects us to the land and helps us value our food more.
G．Growing in containers allows you to control the soil completely.

56. 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。
Maya had always dreamed of becoming a writer. Maya always had her head buried in a worn-out notebook, while her classmates were busy watching short videos or struggling with math problems. She would spend countless hours creating stories and poems in her notebook, lost in the world of her imagination.
However, reality often hit harder than any fictional plot Maya had ever written. Maya’s parents believed that a career in writing was uncertain and urged her to pursue a more stable profession. “Writing is a lovely hobby, Maya,” her father would say. “But a hobby won’t pay the bills.” Her mother would nod along. These conversations always ended the same way: with Maya escaping to her room, torn between respecting her parents who had done so much for her and the quiet, stubborn voice inside her that refused to be silenced.
When college application season arrived, the battle within her reached its breaking point. Maya would lie awake at night, staring at the ceiling, replaying her parents’ words over and over. What if they’re right She’d think. What if I chase this dream and end up with nothing She imagined herself years down the line, struggling to make ends meet, disappointing the two people who had given her everything. She ended up in business school. To her parents, it was a moment of relief. To Maya, it was like shutting a door on a room that held all the best parts of herself.
College was a strange, heavy season of her life. Her schedule was packed with math-heavy courses she had zero interest in, and while everyone around her seemed to be mapping out their careers, Maya was still writing poems in the empty spots of her accounting notebook. One day, while surfing the Internet, Maya noticed a writing competition. The prize was a chance to attend a dream writing workshop with renowned authors. The opportunity lit a spark within her, and she couldn’t ignore the call of her true passion.
注意：1．续写词数应为150左右；2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Maya gathered her courage and approached her parents for the competition.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With her parents’ support, Maya devoted herself to working on writing.

Good morning, dear teachers and fellow students,
Today I’d like to introduce two Chinese local icons: West Lake and Longjing tea from Hangzhou.
First, West Lake is a world-famous scenic spot with beautiful lakeside views and ancient legends. Second, Longjing green tea grows around the lake, famous for its fresh taste and long history.
I choose them because they perfectly mix natural beauty and traditional Chinese culture. They carry local history and show the charm of southern China. I hope more people can know about such amazing local treasures.

Maya gathered her courage and approached her parents for the competition. Hands shaking, she told them about the writing contest and the precious workshop chance. She poured out her true feelings, saying writing was not just a hobby but her lifelong dream. Her parents kept silent for a long time, thinking about her pain in business school. Finally, they realized forcing her into a stable job only made her unhappy. They agreed to let her take part and promised to support her choice.
With her parents’ support, Maya devoted herself to working on writing. She spared every spare minute to polish her stories and poems, pouring all her inner feelings into words. Days later, she handed in her entry confidently. Though she didn’t win the top prize, she got an admission to the writing workshop. This experience taught her that true happiness comes from following your heart, and understanding from family is the most valuable gift.
