My senior year at Westfield High School was supposed to be the best year of my life. Instead, it turned into a lesson about friendship that I would never forget.
My best friend, Emily, and I had been inseparable since middle school. But as graduation approached, the stress of exams and college applications began to weigh heavily on us. Emily and I became distant. I was focused on getting into a top university, while Emily was more interested in enjoying our last year together. Our differing goals led to disagreements, and soon enough, we started to argue over the smallest things.
One day, things reached a boiling point. We had a huge fight over a group project. Days turned into weeks, and our friendship seemed beyond repair. We avoided each other at school and stopped sitting together at lunch. Our friends tried to help, but neither of us was willing to make the first move. The silence between us was deafening, and I missed her more than I wanted to admit.
It wasn’t until our English teacher assigned us to work together on a final presentation that we were forced to confront each other. At first, we worked in tense silence. But as we spent more time together, the ice began to melt. One evening, as we were finishing up our project, Emily broke the silence. “I miss us,” she said softly. “I miss you, too,” I admitted, feeling a lump in my throat. “I’m sorry for being so hard on you. I just wanted everything to be perfect.” “I’m sorry too,” Emily replied. “I should have been more understanding. We’re both stressed, but we shouldn’t let it ruin our friendship.” We hugged, and at that moment, it felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders.
On the graduation day, we stood side by side, proud of what we had accomplished and grateful to each other. The experience made our bond stronger, and we knew that no matter where life took us, we would always be there for each other.
24. What caused the initial tension between the author and Emily?
A. Conflicts over college applications. B. Differences in academic performance.
C. Varied priorities about their final year. D. Different approaches to their group project.
25. What made them restore their friendship?
A. Their friends’ assistance. B. A school teacher’s intervention.
C. Working on a school project together. D. Taking a timely break from each other.
26. How did the author feel after making up with Emily?
A. Anxious. B. Relieved. C. Stressed. D. Uncertain.
27. Which of the following suits the story best?
A. A friend is easier lost than found.
B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C. True friendship can stand the test of disagreements.
D. Friendship, once broken, will never be the same again.
C
A plant-based diet seems to be the best option for human health. A team led by medical doctor Angelo Capodici of the University of Bologna in Italy has found that humans eating vegetarian (素食的) diets tend to have measurably better health outcomes in several areas.
This does not mean that you should immediately excise meat from your diet, since the diet needs of individuals can vary significantly. What it does suggest is that making dietary changes might be a much more powerful tool for improving health outcomes, if it can be done safely.
Since diet is easy to change, Capodici and his colleagues (同事) wanted to take a closer look at the impact of plant-based eating on the risk of these diseases. They studied the data collected from 48 reviews between January 2000 and June 2023, and found that vegetarian diets were associated with better health status on a number of risk factors for both cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer. Overall, these plant-based diets were associated with better cholesterol (胆固醇) levels and blood sugar control, a lower risk of both cancer and heart disease compared to those of plant-and-meat eaters.
The team noted, though, that vegetarian pregnant (怀孕的) women did not show a significantly lower risk of high blood pressure. They were also careful not to draw conclusions about plant-based foods being the only cause of these health improvements.
It’s also worth noting that plant-based diets can result in vitamin and mineral shortage; and, of course, many different health conditions, such as allergies (过敏) require a careful, tailored approach to food. Because of these, the researchers caution against the large-scale adoption of plant-based diets. Rather, they say more targeted and more specific research should be conducted, in order to narrow down why these diets are positively correlated with better health.
28. What is the finding of the new research?
A. Vegetarians are likely to have a healthier body.
B. Individual dietary needs do not affect health outcomes.
C. Humans should eat more vegetables to enjoy a longer life.
D. Plant-based diets have become more popular in recent years.
29. What does the underlined word “excise” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Remove. B. Obtain. C. Distinguish. D. Steal.
30. How did the team conduct the research?
A. By giving reasons. B. By analysing data.
C. By listing examples. D. By making comparisons.
31. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Plant-based diets are an invitation to allergies among people.
B. Plant-based diets can make up for vitamin and mineral shortage.
C. Further researches should be focused on how to improve health.
D. Individual health needs should be considered before diet changes.
D
Some people prefer paperbacks because they’re easy to borrow and share. Others will go for e-readers. But which is the more environmentally sustainable option?
Whether it’s better to read books in print or on a device is complicated, because of the complex interaction of the resources involved across the entire lifecycle of a published work: how books and devices are shipped, what energy they use to run, if they can be recycled.
On the one side, traditional print publishing comes with a high carbon footprint. According to 2023 data, 32 million trees are cut down each year to make paper for books. Then there’s the energy-intensive processes of printing and shipping—to say nothing of the many books that are destroyed because they remain unsold. Although it’s standard practice in the industry, publishers don’t want to destroy books. So instead, many are donating unsold copies, switching to on-demand printing. Publishers are also rethinking book design, since certain fonts (字体) can be more climate-friendly by using less ink and less paper.
On the other hand, digital reading seems to have a considerable eco-advantage over print because it is paperless, so it saves trees and shipping. Moreover, tech companies that make e-readers such as Amazon offer recycling programs for old devices. But digital devices also come with a substantial carbon footprint, especially at the manufacturing stage. Their cases are made with plastics and the minerals in their batteries require resource-heavy mining.
Figuring out whether to take a digital device or a paperback to the beach ultimately depends on how much you read.“ If you buy an e-reader and you read loads and loads of books on it, then it’s the lowest carbon thing to do,” said Mike Berners-Lee, the author of The Carbon Footprint of Everything. “But if I buy it, read a couple of books, and decide that I prefer paperback books, then it’s the worst of all worlds.”
Yet Berners-Lee said that reading is still, relatively speaking, a pretty sustainable activity——regardless of whether you read using an e-reader, phone or old-fashioned paperback.
32. Why is it hard to tell if print or digital books are more eco-friendly?
A. The whole processes for both involve many resources.
B. The option depends on the reader’s personal preferences.
C. Recycling programs are not equally effective for both types.
D. The environmental impact of reading habits is often overlooked.
33. What are book publishers doing to reduce the environmental impact?
A. Cutting down fewer trees.
B. Destroying the unsold books.
C. Employing eco-friendly practices.
D. Focusing on the sales of digital books.
34. According to Berners-Lee, an e-reader is more sustainable than paperbacks when .
A. an e-reader is shared by many people
B. you charge it using renewable energy
C. an e-reader is recycled after being used
D. you read a high volume of books digitally
35. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Print books vs. e-readers: which is your favorite?
B. Paper books vs. e-readers: which is better for the climate?
C. Choose digital reading, for it reduces more carbon footprint
D Keep the balance of convenience and sustainability in reading

How to Stay Positive around Negative People
A positive attitude benefits your physical and mental health. However, it can be difficult to maintain a positive attitude when other people are negative. The best way is to be yourself and to form a flexible mindset. ____36____
●Be in charge of your attitude. The first step is to remember that no one can make you feel bad without your permission. ____37____ You should remind yourself of it frequently when you are under the influence of negative people. Moreover, taking a quick walk is a good way you can maintain your positive attitude.
____38____ If all your attention is on the negative person, you’ll be more likely to be caught in their negativity. Pay attention to what you do, and you’ll create a distance between yourself and the other person. After all, you hardly change them, but yourself. Your priority is to maintain your own happiness.
● Use mottos or phrases. Repeating a motto or a phrase to yourself can help you remain positive. ____39____ Some people find mottos from classic literature, while others prefer well-known phrases from religious beliefs. An example of a motto might be: “Nothing is impossible to a willing heart,” or the Buddhist,“ Om mani padme hum.”
● Set social boundaries. ____40____ Then, you have to learn to say no to them, or you can’t have a life of your own. Even staying with negative people, try to make sure you’re meeting in a group rather than just the two of you. If you’re friends on social media, unfollowing the posts of the negative person is one way to minimize your contact with the person.
A. Focus on yourself.
B. Transform others’ attitude.
C. It is meaningful and highly individual to each person.
D. It is important to sympathize the negative people.
E. You can use the following advice to help you do this.

Dubai, make your day!
Thanks to global connections, Dubai has become an ideal destination for refreshing yourself. Here’s how to plan a one-day trip with wow factors.
Have a sky-high supper
Combine dining with the views from Burj Khalifa (迪拜塔) by booking a table at At. Mosphere on the 122nd floor. The observation area is just above this restaurant, where you’ll enjoy the incredible views with fewer crowds. And with cuisine described as “top drawer”, it is sure to be lunch, afternoon tea or dinner you’ll never forget.
Swim above the city
Have a refreshing swim at Aura Skypool, which offers 360-degree views from 50 floors up. From here, the Palm (棕榈岛) and the sea sparkles become clear to see. In addition to its daytime sessions, it hosts sunrise swims and early morning yoga, as well as night bookings until11 p.m.
Enjoy the beach
Steal sunshine on the white sands of Kite Beach, with its views of another symbol of Dubai’s skyline: the sail-shaped Burj AI Arab (阿拉伯塔酒店). The beach is free to visit in the day time. Alternatively, Kitesurf School Dubai offers a variety of sea sports in the afternoon.
Photograph that skyline
Aperture Photos Tours arrange for a local photographer to guide you to capture breathtaking views from the
“Vertical Forest” being built in Downtown to Dubai Marina (迪拜码头). The tours are private and available in the afternoon; all you need is a camera and a head for heights.
21. What do At. Mosphere and Aura Skypool have in common?

My senior year at Westfield High School was supposed to be the best year of my life. Instead, it turned into a lesson about friendship that I would never forget.
My best friend, Emily, and I had been inseparable since middle school. But as graduation approached, the stress of exams and college applications began to weigh heavily on us. Emily and I became distant. I was focused on getting into a top university, while Emily was more interested in enjoying our last year together. Our differing goals led to disagreements, and soon enough, we started to argue over the smallest things.
One day, things reached a boiling point. We had a huge fight over a group project. Days turned into weeks, and our friendship seemed beyond repair. We avoided each other at school and stopped sitting together at lunch. Our friends tried to help, but neither of us was willing to make the first move. The silence between us was deafening, and I missed her more than I wanted to admit.
It wasn’t until our English teacher assigned us to work together on a final presentation that we were forced to confront each other. At first, we worked in tense silence. But as we spent more time together, the ice began to melt. One evening, as we were finishing up our project, Emily broke the silence. “I miss us,” she said softly. “I miss you, too,” I admitted, feeling a lump in my throat. “I’m sorry for being so hard on you. I just wanted everything to be perfect.” “I’m sorry too,” Emily replied. “I should have been more understanding. We’re both stressed, but we shouldn’t let it ruin our friendship.” We hugged, and at that moment, it felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders.
On the graduation day, we stood side by side, proud of what we had accomplished and grateful to each other. The experience made our bond stronger, and we knew that no matter where life took us, we would always be there for each other.
24. What caused the initial tension between the author and Emily?
A. Conflicts over college applications. B. Differences in academic performance.
C. Varied priorities about their final year. D. Different approaches to their group project.
25. What made them restore their friendship?
A. Their friends’ assistance. B. A school teacher’s intervention.
C. Working on a school project together. D. Taking a timely break from each other.
26. How did the author feel after making up with Emily?
A. Anxious. B. Relieved. C. Stressed. D. Uncertain.
27. Which of the following suits the story best?
A. A friend is easier lost than found.
B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C. True friendship can stand the test of disagreements.
D. Friendship, once broken, will never be the same again.

A plant-based diet seems to be the best option for human health. A team led by medical doctor Angelo Capodici of the University of Bologna in Italy has found that humans eating vegetarian (素食的) diets tend to have measurably better health outcomes in several areas.
This does not mean that you should immediately excise meat from your diet, since the diet needs of individuals can vary significantly. What it does suggest is that making dietary changes might be a much more powerful tool for improving health outcomes, if it can be done safely.
Since diet is easy to change, Capodici and his colleagues (同事) wanted to take a closer look at the impact of plant-based eating on the risk of these diseases. They studied the data collected from 48 reviews between January 2000 and June 2023, and found that vegetarian diets were associated with better health status on a number of risk factors for both cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer. Overall, these plant-based diets were associated with better cholesterol (胆固醇) levels and blood sugar control, a lower risk of both cancer and heart disease compared to those of plant-and-meat eaters.
The team noted, though, that vegetarian pregnant (怀孕的) women did not show a significantly lower risk of high blood pressure. They were also careful not to draw conclusions about plant-based foods being the only cause of these health improvements.
It’s also worth noting that plant-based diets can result in vitamin and mineral shortage; and, of course, many different health conditions, such as allergies (过敏) require a careful, tailored approach to food. Because of these, the researchers caution against the large-scale adoption of plant-based diets. Rather, they say more targeted and more specific research should be conducted, in order to narrow down why these diets are positively correlated with better health.
28. What is the finding of the new research?
A. Vegetarians are likely to have a healthier body.
B. Individual dietary needs do not affect health outcomes.
C. Humans should eat more vegetables to enjoy a longer life.
D. Plant-based diets have become more popular in recent years.
29. What does the underlined word “excise” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Remove. B. Obtain. C. Distinguish. D. Steal.
30. How did the team conduct the research?
A. By giving reasons. B. By analysing data.
C. By listing examples. D. By making comparisons.
31. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Plant-based diets are an invitation to allergies among people.
B. Plant-based diets can make up for vitamin and mineral shortage.
C. Further researches should be focused on how to improve health.
D. Individual health needs should be considered before diet changes.
【答案】28. A 29. A 30. B 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍意大利博洛尼亚大学医生安吉洛·卡波迪奇领导的研究团队发现,素食主义者在一些健康指标上表现更好。但研究人员警告不要大规模采用素食,应开展更有针对性的研究,以确定素食与健康之间的具体关联。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“A team led by medical doctor Angelo Capodici of the University of Bologna in Italy has found that humans eating vegetarian (素食的) diets tend to have measurably better health outcomes in several areas.”(由意大利博洛尼亚大学的医学博士安吉洛·卡波迪奇领导的一个团队发现,吃素食的人在几个方面的健康状况往往会明显好转。)可知,新的研究发现素食者可能拥有更健康的身体。故选A。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据指代关系可知,划线句“This does not mean that you should immediately excise meat from your diet”(这并不意味着你应该立即从饮食中excise肉类)中指示代词This指代的是第一段中的研究结论“素食者可能拥有更健康的身体”。鉴于此结论,人们可能会“immediately excise meat from your diet”,即“立即从饮食中去除肉类”,划线词excise与remove同义,意为“去除”。故选A。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“They studied the data collected from 48 reviews between January 2000 and June 2023, and found that vegetarian diets were associated with better health status on a number of risk factors for both cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer.”(他们研究了2000年1月至2023年6月间收集的48篇评论的数据,发现素食与心血管疾病和癌症的多种危险因素的健康状况有关。)可知,团队是通过分析数据来进行研究的。故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Because of these, the researchers caution against the large-scale adoption of plant-based diets. Rather, they say more targeted and more specific research should be conducted, in order to narrow down why these diets are positively correlated with better health.”(由于这些原因,研究人员警告不要大规模采用植物性饮食。相反,他们说应该进行更有针对性和更具体的研究,以确定为什么这些饮食与更好的健康状况呈正相关。)可以推知,在进行饮食改变之前应该进行更有针对性和更具体的个体研究,考虑个人的健康需求。故选D。
D
Some people prefer paperbacks because they’re easy to borrow and share. Others will go for e-readers. But which is the more environmentally sustainable option?
Whether it’s better to read books in print or on a device is complicated, because of the complex interaction of the resources involved across the entire lifecycle of a published work: how books and devices are shipped, what energy they use to run, if they can be recycled.
On the one side, traditional print publishing comes with a high carbon footprint. According to 2023 data, 32 million trees are cut down each year to make paper for books. Then there’s the energy-intensive processes of printing and shipping—to say nothing of the many books that are destroyed because they remain unsold. Although it’s standard practice in the industry, publishers don’t want to destroy books. So instead, many are donating unsold copies, switching to on-demand printing. Publishers are also rethinking book design, since certain fonts (字体) can be more climate-friendly by using less ink and less paper.
On the other hand, digital reading seems to have a considerable eco-advantage over print because it is paperless, so it saves trees and shipping. Moreover, tech companies that make e-readers such as Amazon offer recycling programs for old devices. But digital devices also come with a substantial carbon footprint, especially at the manufacturing stage. Their cases are made with plastics and the minerals in their batteries require resource-heavy mining.
Figuring out whether to take a digital device or a paperback to the beach ultimately depends on how much you read.“ If you buy an e-reader and you read loads and loads of books on it, then it’s the lowest carbon thing to do,” said Mike Berners-Lee, the author of The Carbon Footprint of Everything. “But if I buy it, read a couple of books, and decide that I prefer paperback books, then it’s the worst of all worlds.”
Yet Berners-Lee said that reading is still, relatively speaking, a pretty sustainable activity——regardless of whether you read using an e-reader, phone or old-fashioned paperback.
32. Why is it hard to tell if print or digital books are more eco-friendly?
A. The whole processes for both involve many resources.
B. The option depends on the reader’s personal preferences.
C. Recycling programs are not equally effective for both types.
D. The environmental impact of reading habits is often overlooked.
33. What are book publishers doing to reduce the environmental impact?
A. Cutting down fewer trees.
B. Destroying the unsold books.
C. Employing eco-friendly practices.
D. Focusing on the sales of digital books.
34. According to Berners-Lee, an e-reader is more sustainable than paperbacks when .
A. an e-reader is shared by many people
B. you charge it using renewable energy
C. an e-reader is recycled after being used
D. you read a high volume of books digitally
35. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Print books vs. e-readers: which is your favorite?
B. Paper books vs. e-readers: which is better for the climate?
C. Choose digital reading, for it reduces more carbon footprint
D. Keep the balance of convenience and sustainability in reading
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【导语】文章的体裁为说明文,通过对纸质书和电子书对环境影响的比较,介绍了它们各自的优缺点以及相关行业和个人在减少环境影响方面所采取的措施。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一第二段“Some people prefer paperbacks because they’re easy to borrow and share. Others will go for e-readers. But which is the more environmentally sustainable option? Whether it’s better to read books in print or on a device is complicated, because of the complex interaction of the resources involved across the entire lifecycle of a published work: how books and devices are shipped, what energy they use to run, if they can be recycled.(有些人喜欢平装书,因为它们容易借阅和分享。另一些人会选择电子阅读器。但哪种选项在环保方面更可持续? 究竟是在纸质书上阅读还是在设备上阅读更好,这是一个复杂的问题,因为涉及到整个出版作品生命周期中涉及的资源的复杂互动:书籍和设备是如何运输的,运行所需的能源是多少,它们是否可以回收利用)”可知,打印书籍和数字书籍都涉及许多资源,包括制作、印刷、运输等环节,因此确定哪种更环保较为困难。故选A项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Although it’s standard practice in the industry, publishers don’t want to destroy books. So instead, many are donating unsold copies, switching to on-demand printing. Publishers are also rethinking book design, since certain fonts (字体) can be more climate-friendly by using less ink and less paper.(尽管这在行业内是标准做法,但出版商并不希望销毁图书。因此,很多出版商选择将未售出的图书捐赠出去,并转向按需印刷。出版商也在重新考虑图书设计,因为某些字体可以更环保,使用更少的墨水和纸张) ”可知,出版商正在采取环保实践,包括捐出旧书、采用更环保的设计以及转向按需印刷等方法来降低环境影响。故选C项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Figuring out whether to take a digital device or a paperback to the beach ultimately depends on how much you read.“ If you buy an e-reader and you read loads and loads of books on it, then it’s the lowest carbon thing to do,” said Mike Berners-Lee, the author of The Carbon Footprint of Everything.(在决定是带数字设备还是纸质书去海滩时,最终取决于你的阅读量。“如果你购买了电子阅读器,并且在上面读了很多书,那么这是最低碳排放的选择,”《一切碳足迹》的作者迈克·伯纳斯-李说道) ”可知,Berners-Lee的观点是如果你在电子阅读器上阅读大量书籍,那么电子阅读器是更可持续的选择。故选D项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Some people prefer paperbacks because they’re easy to borrow and share. Others will go for e-readers. But which is the more environmentally sustainable option?( 有些人喜欢平装书,因为它们方便借阅和共享。其他人会选择电子阅读器。但哪种选项更环保可持续呢) ”可知,文本主要论述纸质书与电子阅读器对气候影响的比较,“纸质书与电子阅读器:哪个对气候更好?”这个标题最合适。故选B项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了由六个大型水电站组成的世界上最大的清洁能源走廊。
【56题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:乌东德、白鹤滩、溪洛渡、向家坝、三峡大坝、葛洲坝等长江沿岸的6座大型水电站构成了世界上最大的清洁能源走廊,全长1800多公里,水位下降超过900米。引导非限定性定语从句,指代先行词the world’s largest clean energy corridor,从句中作主语,指物,用关系代词which,故填which。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:沿着走廊共有110台水力发电机共同运行,产生丰富的绿色电力供人们使用。现在分词作结果状语表示自然而然的结果,根据句意,此处表示110台发电机共同运行,结果产生了丰富的绿色电力供使用,故填generating。
【58题详解】
考查介词。句意:如果没有新技术、新材料和产业升级,中国生产百万千瓦发电机组的能力是不可能获得的。空后是名词,用介词without“没有、若不是”符合句意,故填without。
【59题详解】
考查时态语态。句意:到目前为止,所有六个站点都已连接到一个工业互联网平台,这标志着世界上最大的清洁能源走廊的“工业大脑”的完成。由时间状语so far可知,表示过去发生的动作持续到现在,用现在完成时,connect与主语stations是被动关系,用被动语态,故填have been connected。
【60题详解】
考查不定式。句意:预计这将大大提高走廊的运营效率和可靠性。be expected to do是固定短语,有望……,故填to boost。
【61题详解】
考查冠词。句意:除了供电,清洁能源走廊还形成了一条768公里深的水道,不断改善长江的航行条件。此处特指上文提到的清洁能源走廊,故填the。
【62题详解】
考查副词。句意同上。修饰动词improves用副词作状语,故填consistently。
【63题详解】
考查名词。句意:以前无法通航的部分已经变成了宽阔的通道,走廊沿线的小港口也变得越来越强大。形容词wide修饰名词,名词作介词into的宾语,passage是可数名词,结合句意用复数,故填passages。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这加强了长江水运的优势,以其低能耗、高运力和成本效益而闻名。be known for“因……而闻名”,know与逻辑主语water transportation 是被动关系,用过去分词作后置定语,故填known。
【65题详解】
考查形容词。句意:因此,世界上最大的清洁能源走廊已经演变成生态保护走廊。修饰名词conservation用形容词作定语,故填ecological。

【答案】范文
A Meaningful Clean-up
Last Saturday, our class went to Hexia Ancient Town to collect garbage with the aim of preserving the historical charm and beauty of this cultural site.
We arrived early in the morning with cleaning tools. On arriving there, we split ourselves into smaller groups and started working. Some cleaned the riverbanks, and some focused on the streets and parks. We worked hard for several hours and the ancient town became clean and tidy once again.
This experience was tiring but rewarding. I felt a deep sense of accomplishment and pride as we made a great difference. It was a day well spent, not just for the town, but for our collective spirit.
