The old saying about the evil step-parent certainly didn’t apply to Roger McElroy. He made a point of being a positive presence in the life of his stepdaughter, Brooke Johnson. When life threw screwballs at Johnson, McElroy was there to pick her up. During one trying time, he left her a voicemail that said, “Everything’s going to be fine. We’ll get through it.” In 2024, a tragic fall left McElroy paralyzed. Three and a half weeks later, he died of his injuries.
Before that, while keeping vigil(守夜) by his bedside, Johnson shared with McElroy her dream of becoming the first woman to skateboard across the country. He wanted to be part of it, and they planned that she would push him in his wheelchair across the finish line. She wasn’t sure she could pull it off, but McElroy had faith in her. “I was like, ‘Roger, it’s a big country!’ And he was like, ‘Well, you can do it,’” Johnson told Good Morning America.
After McElroy’s death, Johnson, then 29, chose to honor him by becoming the first woman to skateboard across the country. Along the way, she would raise money for Wings for Life, a nonprofit supporting research into spinal cord injuries. Accompanied by an RV and a video crew, and wearing a small box around her neck that held McElroy’s ashes, she began her journey last April at California’s Santa Monica beach. Destination: Virginia Beach, 3,266 miles away.
Averaging 30 to 50 miles a day, Johnson’s ride across America took her up and down mountains, past wheat fields and through cities, in rain and blistering heat. Through it all, Roger McElroy was riding with her: “Everything’s going to be fine. We’ll get through it.” On Aug. 15, after 119 days, Johnson arrived at the Atlantic Ocean. No one was more surprised than Johnson that she had completed what she’d started, while raising $50,000 for Wings for Life. She told ABC News, “Roger left me purpose, and for that I thank him every day.”
24. Which of the following best describes McElroy according to paragraph 1
A. Quiet and reserved. B. Gentle but demanding. C. Caring and supportive.
D. Optimistic but helpless.
25. How did Johnson feel about her skateboarding plan at first
A. She doubted whether she could make it.
B. She quit for fear of the huge distance involved.
C. She underestimated the difficulty of the journey.
D. She lacked confidence because of insufficient support.
26. What can be inferred about Johnson’s skateboarding journey
A. It focused on setting a record. B. It went exactly as anticipated.
C. It was beyond her expectations. D. It was delayed by extreme weather.
27. What is the best title for the passage
A. A Bond Built in Difficult Times. B. A Promise Fulfilled on Wheels.
C. A Healing Journey Through Sports. D. A Hard-won Record in Skateboarding.
C
According to the latest data, people are living longer and becoming healthier, better fed and richer. Yet many of us feel gloomier about the state of the world. How can we explain this pessimism in a world of progress
It’s not that people are naturally unhappy. On the contrary, they claim they are happy, their schools are good, their neighborhoods are safe and that they are less likely to become the victim of an accident, a disease or a layoff. But when asked about their countries, people become far less optimistic. They insist that the world is getting worse and worse.
This disconnect originates in the nature of news. News is about what happens, not what doesn’t happen, so it features sudden and upsetting events like fires and shark attacks. In contrast, most positive developments are rarely reported as most good news is not camera-friendly and doesn’t happen overnight. You never see a headline about a country that is not at war, or the fact that since yesterday 180,000 people have escaped extreme poverty.
The bad habits of media bring out the worst in human cognition(认知). Our sense of risk is shaped not by statistics but by images and stories. People consider tornadoes (which kill dozens of Americans a year) as more dangerous than asthma (which kills thousands) simply because tornadoes are better for television. It’s easy to see how this cognitive mistake could make people conclude the worst about where the world is heading.
Another reason lies in our psychological tendency to idealize the past while viewing the present too negatively. Time heals most wounds: the bad feelings tied to unpleasant experiences fade as years pass. Also, we tend to mistake the heavier burdens of growing older for a worse world and confuse the natural decline in our own abilities for a decline in the times.
The cure for these biases(偏见) is to use numbers: base our view of the world not on shocking headlines but on numbers that show human progress like how long we live and how many can read. Numbers include both the good and the bad and give us hope.
28. What does the underlined word “this disconnect” in paragraph 3 mean
A. People are satisfied with their lives but not with their countries.
B. People read positive news but choose to focus on negative ones.
C. People think they are living in safety but the world is dangerous.
D. People believe the world is making progress but actually it is not.
29. Why does the author mention tornadoes and asthma
A. To suggest that the media should report more positive news.
B. To show that people judge risks by images rather than by data.
C. To stress that natural disasters cause a large number of deaths.
D. To prove that tornadoes are more deadly than asthma in America.
30. Why do people think the present is worse than the past
A. They lived a much simpler and happier life in the past.
B. They romanticize the past and misread aging as a falling era.
C. They are getting older and having heavier burdens than before.
D. They forget the good experiences and feelings they had in the past.
31. What is the author’s opinion towards using numbers
A. It is as misleading as images and stories. B. It is the only way to understand the world.
C. It is a fair and wise way to view the world. D. It is more reliable than personal experience.
D
Static electricity(静电) is a common phenomenon that we experience daily. Take off a sweater in winter, and you might hear a sudden sound: brush a balloon against your hair, and the hair stands on end. Yet, this familiar event---known scientifically as the triboelectricity effect(摩擦起电反应)—has puzzled scientists for centuries. For a long time, researchers relied on the “triboelectric series”. This was a fixed ranking system designed to determine exactly which materials would charge positively or negatively upon contact.
However, the deep rules of this effect confused researchers because experiments often produced conflicting results. The same testing procedures using the exact same materials frequently resulted in different charges, going against the established ranking. As a result, disappointed scientists often viewed these confusing results as human error, wrong methods, or poor equipment. This lack of reliability blocked the progress of related scientific studies for a long time.
Recently, new research has brought a major breakthrough. Scientists suggest that what looked like disorder is actually a natural change over time. In a detailed study, researchers found that a material's charging behaviour heavily depends on its “contact history”. Repeated physical interactions cause tiny surface shape changes. This physical wear systematically shifts the material's tendency toward negative charging. The discovery perfectly explains the historical mistakes: scientists were testing worn materials without knowing it.
In a follow-up field study, the team studied oxide materials(氧化物) such as sand, and identified the hidden chemical factor driving their electrical behavior: carbon-carrying materials. These materials, which are everywhere in the atmosphere, gradually coat all exposed surfaces with an invisible layer. When researchers heated the materials to high temperatures to completely remove this environmental pollution, they observed something amazing: the direction of the charge exchange went in the opposite direction, proving that the unseen pollution secretly affected the electrical reaction.
These exciting findings challenge the traditional idea of a fixed ranking. A material's electrical identity is actually dynamic, shaped by its physical history and environmental exposure. By mapping these hidden factors, scientists are turning a long-held mystery into a predictable science. This deeper understanding will help develop battery-free wearable devices, prevent industrial disastrous explosions, and even evaluate the potential damage of lunar dust to future space missions.
32. How does the author introduce the topic
A. By raising a scientific question. B. By sharing a fabulous story.
C. By providing everyday examples. D. By listing experimental data.
33. What affects the material's charging tendency
A. The surface shape shifts. B. The testing methods. C. The initial physical state.
D. The experiment equipment.
34. What conclusion can be drawn from the field study
A. Heating changes oxide structures. B. Carbon protects oxides against pollution.
C. Oxides produce environmental pollution. D. Invisible coatings control electrical responses.
35. What does the last paragraph focus on
A. Limitations and predictions. B. Statistics and practices.
C. Evaluations and applications. D. Difficulties and opportunities.

Many people see boredom as an uncomfortable feeling that must be avoided at all costs. As soon as empty moments appear, they reach for phones to fill every quiet second with short videos and messages. 36 However, this constant escape prevents our brain from entering a special creative state.
But boredom is not simply a lack of activities. It arises when our brain receives little new outside stimulation and turns inward. When there is nothing to watch or listen to, our mind starts wandering freely. 37 Many unexpected connections between separate ideas can appear during such wandering.
38 It does not mean forcing ourselves to stay idle(无所事事的) aimlessly for hours. Instead, useful boredom refers to quiet moments without digital input, where our thoughts can move freely without outside disturbance.
Modern youth have fewer chances to experience true boredom. Screens offer endless instant entertainment and leave no room for mind-wandering. 39 Consequently, many teenagers have lost access to genuine boredom, losing a cheap and easy source of creative inspiration.
If we accept short periods of boredom rather than fighting against it, we allow our brains to make hidden connections. Those wandering thoughts can lead to fresh ideas and original solutions. 40
A. Useful boredom has its own definition.
B. Our brain can go blank unconsciously at such times.
C. We usually regard boredom as a negative useless feeling.
D. Even waiting in line or riding on buses becomes screen time.
E. It turns empty quiet moments into a source of creative thinking.
F. Quick online amusement gives people immediate but shallow pleasure.
G. This inner wandering is the basis of creative thinking and new discovery.

Eight miles ahead, a kind motorist gave him a 52 . He arrived just in time. Without electricity, the wedding was held by candlelight. Elizabeth had no idea what he'd been through. At the reception, Jones gave the couple the reflective stake as a 53 , hoping it would remind them to protect each other in 54 hours.

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式.
Today, China is becoming the world's e-bike powerhouse. That feeling of 56 (effort) mobility (移动) is one reason why e-bikes are reshaping urban transportation. In 2025, Chinese manufacturers exported 26.7 million electric two-wheelers worth 57 total of $6.829 billion. At the center of that growth 58 (be) the electric bicycle—a machine that looks much like a traditional bicycle 59 actually pairs pedals(踏板) with sensors, a battery and a quiet electric motor.
For many riders, the appeal goes beyond 60 (convenient). Studies show that e-bikes encourage more people to cycle 61 a regular basis, particularly older adults and those with limited mobility or knee pain.
The market reflects that shift. Europe's e-bike market was worth 15 billion euros in 2024 and has the potential 62 (grow) to 21.2 billion euros by 2029. Behind that growth lies China's greatest competitive advantage: 63 (it) manufacturing ecosystem. Industrial clusters across the Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta produce nearly every major component, 64 (allow) companies to shorten development cycles while controlling costs.
For Chinese companies, the challenge is no longer proving that Chinese brands can build premium e-bikes, but sustaining innovation in a fast-growing market 65 technology, design and brand recognition are becoming just as important as manufacturing scale.

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 have never liked rain. It meant wet shoes, messy hair, and waiting around when I wanted to go somewhere. One afternoon, I walked out of the library and found rain pouring down. I had forgotten my umbrella, so I stood under the roof and stared at the gray sky.
Just then, a girl from my chemistry class came running toward me. It was Hazel, who was always laughing with friends, drawing strange pictures in class, or whispering jokes. Yet she was one of the smartest students in our class. "You look like a princess waiting for her carriage," she joked, holding out a Mickey Mouse umbrella. I laughed despite myself and took it.
A few weeks later, I remembered Hazel's birthday and gave her a book she might like. Her eyes widened. "You remembered " she asked, smiling warmly. I began to wonder if there was more to Hazel than I had thought.
Then, just before spring break, Hazel was absent from class. On my way out, I saw her behind the bushes near the school garden, sitting on the ground with a small box. Inside were colorful cards covered with students' handwriting. Hazel explained that Mr. Lewis, the school gardener who had taken care of the garden for years, was retiring. She was gathering thank-you cards for him. "He always says the garden looks different after rain," she said softly.
Before I could reply, a sudden wind swept through the garden. The box tipped over, and the cards flew everywhere onto the grass and flowerbeds. Hazel jumped up to chase them, but rain began to fall. I looked at my dry clothes, then at the cards lying on the wet grass.

Dear Jeff,
I'm Li Hua, a senior two student. Learning that our school is going to launch an elective course, I'm writing to voice my strong support for the course Appreciation of British and American Literature. Here follow my reasons.
Primarily, I've been a bookworm since childhood and classic works never fail to appeal to me. Moreover, appreciating the masterpieces can not only foster students' English literacy, but also offer us a deeper insight into Western culture and history. Jane Eyre's independence in the face of an unequal society, Scarlett's resilience in the flames of war and Gatsby's tragic pursuit for American dream are powerful enough to transcend time and space, continuing to inspire us today. Besides, the course offers a golden opportunity for students to think independently and broaden our horizons, which will definitely benefit me in the long run.
Therefore, I sincerely hope this course will be offered this term. I'm looking forward to joining it and exploring the charm of literature with my classmates. Thank you for taking my opinion into account.
Yours,
Li Hua

One Possible Version:
For a second, I hesitated. The old me would have run for cover, complaining about the rain and my ruined shoes. But then I looked at Hazel, kneeling in the mud, her laughter gone, desperately grabbing at the cards that Mr. Lewis would treasure forever. Something shifted inside me. I dropped my bag and dashed into the rain, chasing a card that was tumbling toward the rosebushes. The cold water soaked through my shirt, and my hair clung to my face, but I didn't care. Hazel glanced up, surprised, then smiled — the same warm smile she had given me weeks ago. "You're crazy!" she shouted over the rain. "So are you!" I shouted back, laughing. In that moment, the rain no longer felt like an enemy. It felt like something we were facing together.
Wet through, we finally collected every single card. We sat indoors, breathless, carefully wiping each card with our sleeves. The ink had blurred a little, but the words were still there — messages of gratitude from students Mr. Lewis had quietly encouraged over the years. Hazel looked at me, her eyes shining. "He told me once that rain makes the garden grow stronger," she said. "Maybe people are like that too." I nodded, understanding at last. When the sun finally broke through the clouds, a rainbow stretched over the garden. Hazel held out the Mickey Mouse umbrella, now bent and dripping. "Still think rain is the worst " she teased. I grinned. "No," I said. "Sometimes it brings people together."

W: Well, it doesn’t look too bad.
M: But I went out to get a blue sweater with a V-neck and short sleeves, and I came home with a brown one with a high neck and long sleeves.
W: You must be easily taken in; you’ve got to learn to stand up to these high-pressure salesmen. They’ll sell you all sorts of things you don’t want if you don’t watch out.
M: Next time I’ll send my wife in. She won’t fall for their fancy words easily.

M: The 2026 World Cup match ball TRIONDA has three colors representing the host countries: US, Mexico and Canada. It is made in Shenzhen, China. You might think the ball is just an ordinary football, right It’s actually special, packed with high-tech features you’d never expect. First, it has a smart sensor that records the ball’s movement data in real time so fast decisions can be made and even the tiniest offside or handball won’t escape notice. It requires 90 minutes of charging before each use to power its smart functions. Second, designers created a new surface that maintains stability at high speeds. Even when kicked with great force, the ball follows a smooth, accurate path. This isn’t just a football; it’s a perfect example of how technology transforms the game.
