A
Composition of EWaste
Nowadays, ewaste is one of the world’s fastestgrowing waste streams. Waste electronics contain harmful substances like lead and mercury, posing serious environmental and health risks.
However, ewaste also represents a valuable “urban mine”. It holds an estimated 31 million tonnes of metals, 17 million tonnes of plastics, and 14 million tonnes of glass. One tonne of circuit boards can contain up to 800 times more gold than a tonne of goldbearing rocks. Despite this, less than 1% of rare earth elements are recycled.
Recycled ewaste is a valuable resource for sustainable manufacturing (制造业). Its metals, e.g. gold and copper, are reused in electronics, vehicles, and renewable energy systems. Recovered plastics find new life in durable products, while glass is processed into building materials. This circular (循环的) approach cuts energy use, reduces mining demand, and transforms waste into industrial resources, supporting both the economy and the environment.
The ewaste management market is projected to more than double by 2027. While 81 countries have adopted Extended Producer Responsibility laws, collection rates still fall behind policy goals.
To improve recycling, governments should strengthen EPR laws, and invest in facilities. Institutions can promote research and public awareness. Individuals should properly drop off ewaste at collection points, fix items rather than throw them away, and support brands with strong environmental commitments.
21. What percentage do screens and cables account for in all ewaste compositions
A. 12%.
B. 14%.
C. 17%.
D. 60%.
22. What is a key advantage of ewaste compared to natural mines
A. It contains a greater variety of rare elements.
B. It provides more recoverable nonmetals.
C. It can be richer in precious metals.
D. It works better as building materials.
23. What is suggested for individuals to help recycle ewaste
A. Invest in formal recycling facilities.
B. Launch public awareness campaigns.
C. Set clear personal takeback plans.
D. Choose repair over replacement.
B
When I was twelve, my grandmother gave me an unusual task: to water her garden not with a hose (水管), but with a small, bent tin cup. “The hose is too fast,” she said, adjusting her straw hat. “It doesn’t know when to stop. The cup makes you look at every leaf.”
I grumbled, naturally. It took an hour to water what could have been done in ten minutes. I marched back and forth to the rain bucket, splashing water onto the thirsty soil. But as the weeks passed, the forced slowness began to change things. I started noticing the small dramas of the garden: the determined climb of a ladybug, the slight droop of a begonia (秋海棠) that needed extra care, the way the soil darkened when it had truly had enough to drink.
One afternoon, I found a cocoon (茧) attached to a tomato vine. If I had been blasting away with the hose, I would have knocked it off. Instead, I sat and watched. Over the next few days, I saw the miracle of transformation. When the butterfly finally emerged, drying its wings in the sun, I felt a sense of ownership. I hadn’t just watered a plant; I had protected a life.
Years later, working as a highspeed data analyst, I often felt overwhelmed by the constant flow of information. It was like the hose — too fast, too much, blindly covering everything. One day, stressed and burnt out, I remembered the tin cup. I turned off my monitors and printed out just one complex dataset. I sat with it, pencil in hand, looking at every “leaf” of data.
My boss was skeptical of my slow pace, until I found a critical error that the automated algorithms had missed. “How did you spot that ” he asked. I smiled, thinking of the tomato vine. “I stopped using the hose,” I said.
24. Why did the grandmother ask the author to water the garden with a tin cup
A. To save water during a drought.
B. To punish the author for laziness.
C. To encourage the author’s patience.
D. To replace the broken hose.
25. What does the underlined phrase “the small dramas of the garden” refer to in the second paragraph
A. The conflicts between different plants.
B. The subtle and lively details of nature.
C. The fascinating behaviors of garden creatures.
D. The plays performed in the garden.
26. How did the author’s childhood experience influence his career
A. It made him focused and detailed.
B. It directly inspired his career choice.
C. It inspired him to take up gardening.
D. It taught him to appreciate physical work.
27. Which is a suitable title for the text
A. The Joy of Slow Living
B. A Lesson from the Tin Cup
C. The Challenge of Data Analysis
D. The Way of Watering the Garden
C
When a Los Angeles hospital authorized handwriting courses for its doctors, it highlighted a modern contradiction: in an era of digital perfection, the simple act of writing by hand remains critically important. The chief of staff explained to Science Daily, “Many of our physicians don’t write clearly.” The consequences can be severe, as seen in an unfortunate case where a chemist’s misreading of a doctor’s prescription (处方) led to a patient’s death.
Even though many medical records are now stored on computers, physicians still spend a lot of their time writing notes on charts or writing prescriptions by hand. Clarity in handwriting isn’t merely an aid to communication. In some significant way, writing by hand primes the brain for learning to read. Psychologists Mueller and Oppenheimer found that “Laptop notetakers’ tendency to write down lectures verbatim (逐字地) rather than processing information and reframing it in their own words has a negative effect on learning.” In their experiments, students typing notes processed information shallowly, while those writing by hand were forced to summarize, leading to better understanding. The slower pace of pen and paper acts as a cognitive filter, activating the brain for deeper comprehension.
Yet, the skill is fading rapidly. Researchers worry that abandoning the pen for the keyboard will lead to any number of unforeseen negative consequences. Anne Mangen, who studies how technology transforms literacy, notes that typing, being more “abstract and unconnected,” could have profound implications; this decline is similar to a form of cultural pollution, a loss of a fundamental human capacity.
A common misconception is that we have simply traded an inefficient tool for a superior one. However, like the loss of facetoface interaction, this trade for efficiency comes at a hidden cost. We are sacrificing irrecoverable ways of learning and knowing. Ultimately, a child who masters the keyboard but cannot sign their name is not a symbol of progress.
Handwriting is not a relic; it is a vital thread in the fabric of our cognition, and its wearing demands our immediate attention.
28. Why did the hospital introduce handwriting courses
A. To follow the latest handwriting trend.
B. To prevent potential medical accidents.
C. To improve doctors’ handwriting skills.
D. To promote the use of handwritten records.
29. What can we learn from Mueller and Oppenheimer’s research
A. Typing facilitates meaningful understanding.
B. Notetaking blocks verbatim comprehension.
C. Keyboarding ensures higher learning efficiency.
D. Handwriting benefits deeper cognitive engagement.
30. What is the cost of abandoning handwriting
A. The pollution of a traditional culture.
B. The decline in communication efficiency.
C. The overreliance on modern technologies.
D. The fading of an essential cognitive ability.
31. What does the author suggest we do
A. Preserve handwriting as a tradition.
B. Encourage keyboard use in education.
C. Value the crucial role of handwriting.
D. Introduce handwriting courses widely.
D
Over the past few years, areas in East Asia, North America and northern Europe have been colder than normal during some periods of winter. This has left many debating whether Earth is experiencing global warming or not, but scientists have shown that Earth’s warming trends are responsible.
When people in the Northern Hemisphere hear North Pole or Arctic region, they automatically think of the hemisphere’s northernmost area, the home of extremely cold weather during late fall and winter. During this time, very little, if any, sunlight reaches the Arctic’s stratosphere, one layer of Earth’s atmosphere that exists six to 20 kilometers above Earth’s surface. To balance the temperature difference with that of the warm equatorial region, an area of low pressure called the polar vortex forms and flows in a complete circle around the pole. This occurs inside the stratosphere(平流层) about 10 kilometers above the Earth’s surface.
While this belt of strong winds is usually stable and able to keep the cold air contained, it can be destroyed by loss of sea ice, due to global warming. This results in surface temperatures changing, changes which make them less stable. If this happens, the polar vortex may shift, slipping off the North Pole and moving south, or it can separate into two or three rings that form in multiple places far south of the pole.
This stretching or distortion of the polar vortex also makes influences on the path of the polar jet stream, which is responsible for Earth’s weather. This jet stream, along with three other primary jet streams in different parts of the world, is located in the troposphere (对流层), the atmospheric layer just below the stratosphere.
The polar jet stream’s air currents blow from 177 kilometers an hour to over 400 kilometers an hour and from west to east between 50 degrees and 60 degrees latitude — think from France to Norway. The differences in cold polar air and warm midlatitude air form the polar jet stream, and its movement prolongs periods of cold or warm weather in different regions.
Large temperature differences between the Arctic and midlatitudes cause the polar jet stream to be strong and move straight, keeping the cold in the north. Because the Arctic is warming at a fast pace, the temperature difference between it and midlatitudes is decreasing, making the polar jet stream slower and weaker. That, in turn, makes the stream more likely to bend north and south. When it bends far enough, the barrier between Arctic and midlatitude air can dive down to Mexico, taking Arctic temperatures along for the ride.
Although heat and cold are considered opposites, in the case of climate, the former can cause the latter.
32. What causes the polar vortex to form
A. Sea ice loss in the Arctic
B. The polar jet stream’s bending
C. Strong winds inside the troposphere
D. Temperature differences with the equator
33. Why do some winters get colder globally
A. Arctic warming weakens jet stream
B. The polar vortex becomes stronger
C. Less sunlight reaches Arctic
D. The Arctic loses its cold air
34. The word “prolong” (para 5) is closest in meaning to ______.
A. Control
B. regulate
C. extend
D. shorten
35. What is the main focus of the passage
A. The Relationship between Warming Earth and Colder Winters
B. The Potential Reasons for Earth Becoming Warmer and Warmer
C. The Strange Phenomenon of Warming Trends with Colder Weather
D. The Temperature Differences between the Arctic and Midlatitude Areas

How to Protect Yourself from Creative Burnout
I like January because it gives me a chance to reflect — not only on the past year, but also on my longterm goals and the progress I have made. However, my recent experience has shown me how easily creative burnout can happen. ___36___
First of all, being in control of your own life is not as easy as it sounds. When someone else sets your goals, you simply follow them. But once you have to decide everything on your own, things become more complicated. ___37___ No one else can give you a clear answer.
In fact, the real difficulty is not carrying out a plan, but worrying whether you are doing the right thing. Time is limited, and you want to use it wisely. ___38___ As a result, you may feel tired even before finishing your work.
___39___ You cannot always be sure that your choice is the best one. So instead of overthinking, choose a goal and start working on it. Once you make a decision, stick to it for some time instead of changing it too often.
Another useful method is to make a simple daily plan. ___40___ You only need to list two or three important tasks and focus on them.
Finally, remember to take time to relax. When you work all the time, your mind cannot think clearly. After a short break, you may return with a better understanding of what is truly important.
A. Taking breaks allows your mind to recover.
B. That is when you begin to question your choices.
C. This helps you stay focused on what truly matters.
D. So it is necessary to learn how to avoid it properly.
E. You will keep doubting your own choices all the time.
F. It is impossible to make perfect decisions every time.
G. You may feel more confident after making a decision.

As chief economist at the Bank of England, Andy Haldane knew that data and models could never provide the depth of ___41___ he needed for important decisions. So he made a point of ___42___ the streets of the City of London, seeking conversations quite different from those ___43___ at the bank. Hanging out with community workers and faith groups ___44___ what he would never have had at his desk. “Trying to make sense of what I saw and heard, I found myself relying more on ___45___ than statistics,” he says.
The wealth of ___46___ from hanging out encouraged Haldane to ___47___, bringing many different ___48___ into the Bank of England. Bringing in such diverse ___49___ as Tamara Rojo from the English National Ballet and artist Grayson Perry sparked very different conversations.
The benefit of connecting with people very different from ourselves ___50___ gaining a broader perspective. Starting a meeting ___51___ of its outcome, and leaving with a mind on fire with ways of thinking, is a(n) ___52___ experience. “It may mean that I now dare to embrace an idea even when I have no idea where it will lead. That is how ___53___ begins,” Andy says.
But why are these habits of mind not taken more ___54___ Because they may not look or feel like work at all. But as the filmmaker Mike Leigh says: “Nothing happening is something happening.” And it’s what his next movie ___55___ from.

For years, SUVs dominated the car market, and many people believed sedans (轿车) would disappear completely. However, things are changing. Sedans are quietly making a comeback across the United States, according to ___56___ recent report.
Affordability is the main reason. A new compact sedan ___57___ (average) about $27,590, which is nearly $10,000 cheaper than a compact SUV.

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。
Tenyearold Tom always felt lonely. His parents were always occupied with work. They left home early in the morning and came back late at night. Tom often ate dinner alone and went to bed without a goodnight kiss. For him, there were no family games, no city tours, no weekend outings.
One day, Tom’s parents brought home a gifta smart watch. “This watch has a special friend inside,” Mom said with a smile. “Her name is Ling. She can talk to you, answer your questions, and even tell you stories.” A wave of anticipation swept over Tom as he put on the watch and pressed the button. A gentle voice came out, “Hello, Tom! I’m Ling. Nice to meet you!” Tom’s eyes lit up. He had never received such an interesting gift before.
From that day on, Ling became Tom’s closest companion. Every morning, Ling would say, “Good morning, Tom! Have a great day at school!” Whenever Tom encountered difficulties with his homework, Ling would patiently provide thorough explanations. After Tom got into bed, Ling would tell his favorite tales about brave knights and magical lands. Sometimes, when Tom felt scared of the dark, Ling would sing softly to comfort him. To Tom, Ling was more than a voice; she was family.
His parents noticed Tom’s change. “See Our little boy seems much happier now,” Dad said one evening. “The watch really helps,” Mom agreed, relieved. They thought their son was no longer lonely. What they didn’t know was that sometimes, after Ling had finished her stories, Tom would lie awake in the darkness, listening to the silence that filled the room. He loved Ling, but he couldn’t help thinking: if only Mom and Dad were here.
One afternoon after school, Tom tripped and fell on the way home. The watch hit a rock with a loud crack. When Tom picked it up, the screen was dark. He pressed the button again and again, but nothing appeared.
“Ling Ling, are you there ” he called desperately. There was no reply.
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。
Para1. Tom had no choice but to turn to his parents for help.

The Choice of My Career
Being a doctor has long been my cherished dream, and multiple factors contribute to this choice.
For one thing, I can relieve patients suffering from various diseases of their physical pains. For another, I can grow into a responsible citizen, making solid contributions to our society. To turn this dream into reality, it is vital for me to spare no effort in my studies right now. Apart from mastering professional medical knowledge, my consistent enthusiasm, dedication and curiosity will surely fuel my future career and help me embrace a promising path ahead.
I am already thrilled to embark on this journey, and fully prepared for all the challenges and opportunities lying in wait.

Tom had no choice but to turn to his parents for help. Clutching the broken watch, he hurried home. Like usual, the house lay empty and quiet. But this time, the loneliness felt unbearablenot because Ling was gone, but because the people he truly needed were absent. He waited and waited. It was nearly midnight when his parents finally returned. They were alarmed to see Tom curling up on the sofa, face wet with tears. “What happened, Tom ” Mom rushed over. Wordlessly, he held out the broken watch. Dad soon fetched his toolbox trying to fix it, but in vain. Seeing this, Tom couldn’t contain himself any longer and burst into desperate sobs. Between gasps, he poured out his lonelinessthe silent dinners, the empty house, the longing for someone to be there.
At that moment, both Mom and Dad saw clearly what they had missed. They realized that no watch, however smart, could ever take the place of their presence. Immediately, Mom wrapped her arms around Tom, apologizing, “I’m so sorry. We thought the watch was enough, but we were wrong.” Dad knelt beside them, his voice thick with guilt. “From now on, we’ll be home earlier. No more lonely dinners.” Together they drew up a family schedule — Tuesday nigh board games, Friday pizzamaking, Sunday afternoons in the park. They promised to make it a weekly routine and wrote it on the family calendar in bright colors. That night, the family came to understand technology might offer comfort, but only love could fill the silence of an empty home.

W: Fine.
M: I was standing in front of the Second National Bank building at about 8:50 a.m. I saw a small red car heading for the crossroads of Churchill Avenue and York Road. It was coming towards me along Churchill Avenue at about 40 miles per hour. The traffic lights on York Road changed to green, and a delivery lorry began to move forward at about 5 miles per hour. The driver of the car probably didn’t see that his traffic light had changed from orange to red, and ran into the side of the lorry.
W: That’s correct.

Dear Kathy,
Thank you very much for inviting my family to your house for dinner. We really enjoyed our visit with you and your wonderful family. Please say “Hi” to Glen and Christopher for us.
Our two weeks in Canada were wonderful. At the end of our visit, we took a train ride across Canada back to Vancouver. The scenery was beautiful. On the train I sat next to an interesting woman from India. We might write to each other.
We’ve been back in China for almost two weeks now. It has been very cold since our arrival in Beijing. I’ve been teaching a new course in English conversation for almost a week. I’m preparing my lesson plans right now. Last week, David invited us to dinner but we couldn’t go. So he is coming to our house for dinner next Saturday night. We’re looking forward to hearing all about his new work. I hope that you and your family are doing well. We’d like you to visit us in China. We won’t forget your kindness to us. Please send my regards to your family.
