When Posten walked outside to her car, she saw something that looked like a note or receipt stuck to the windshield.
She grabbed it and saw it was a black and white photo of a woman holding a little boy. On the back, it said, “Gertie Swatzell & J.D. Swatzell 1942.” A few hours later, Posten discovered that the photo had made quite a long journey — almost 130 miles on the back of terrible winds.
Posten had been tracking the tornadoes that hit the middle of the U.S., killing dozens of people. They came close to where she lives in New Albany, Indiana, across the Ohio River from Louisville, Kentucky. So she figured it must be from someone’s damaged home.
“Seeing the date, I realized that was likely from a home hit by a tornado. How else is it going to be there?” Posten said. “It’s a well-kept photo.”
So she posted an image of the photo on Facebook and Twitter and asked for help. She said she was hoping someone on social media would have a connection to the photo or share it with someone who had a connection.
“A lot of people shared it on Facebook. Someone came across it who is friends with a man with the same last name, and they tagged him,” said Posten.
That man was Cole Swatzell, who commented that the photo belonged to family members in Dawson Springs, Kentucky, almost 130 miles away from New Albany. Cole Swatzell on Sunday didn’t respond to a Facebook message seeking comment.
Posten plans to return the photo to the Swatzell family sometime this week.
“It’s really remarkable, definitely one of those things, given all that has happened, that makes you consider how valuable things are — memories, family heirlooms (传家宝), and those kinds of things,” Posten said. “It shows you the power of social media for good. It was encouraging that immediately there were tons of replies from people, looking up ancestor records, and saying ‘I know someone who knows someone and I’d like to help.’”
4. What helped Posten know the photo had made quite a long journey?
A. Learning about a home hit by a tornado.
B. Looking into the information of the photo.
C. Making tracks for the process of the tornadoes.
D. Recognizing the person in the photo at first sight.
5. What do we know about the photo?
A. It’s a damaged photo.
B. It belongs to Cole Swatzell.
C. Its owner lives in New Albany, Indiana.
D. It travels 130 miles away from Kentucky.
6. How did Posten get information of the photo’s owner?
A. From Twitter. B. From Facebook.
C. From her friend. D. From ancestor records.
7. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Valuable things should be kept well for good.
B. Common item sometimes is also very valuable.
C. We should encourage each other on social media.
D. Posten thinks highly of the function of social media.
C
When we recall a memory, we bring back specific details about it. But we often also experience a vivid feeling of remembering the event. Memory researchers call these processes objective and subjective memory. A new study shows they can function independently and involve different parts of the brain.
“The study distinguishes between how well we remember and how well we think we remember, and shows that decision making depends primarily on the subjective evaluation of memory evidence,” says psychologist Denis Guetta.
The researchers tested objective and subjective memory. After showing volunteers a series of images of common objects, the researchers showed them pairs of images and asked them to determine which of the two they had seen before. They were asked to rate the memory as “recollected” (vivid and detailed), or “familiar” (lacking detail). Some tests showed similar image pairs, others unrelated pairs. This setup measured objective memory based on recognition and subjective memory based on vividness.
The researchers also used fMRI (功能性磁共振成像) to measure brain activity during this task. The results showed higher levels of objective memory with pairs of similar images, but participants claimed vivid memories more with dissimilar pairs. They were more likely to base their decision about whether to keep or clear an image on memory feeling rather than accuracy. For example, a person could have a vivid memory of going to an event with friends. Some of the actual details of that memory might be a bit off, but they may feel it is a vivid memory, so they might decide to go out with the same people again.
The fMRI data showed that objective and subjective memory engaged varied regions of the brain. The regions involved in subjective experiences were also involved in decision making, supporting the connection between the two processes.
“By understanding how our brains give rise to vivid subjective memories and memory decisions, we are moving a step closer to understanding how we learn to evaluate memory evidence to make effective decisions in the future,” says researcher Analiz William.
8. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?
A. By analyzing problems. B. By giving examples.
C. By interpreting findings. D. By defining concepts.
9. What were the volunteers asked to do during the study?
A. To draw the images they had previously seen.
B. To compare details of objects they had been shown.
C. To categorize their memory as recollected or familiar.
D. To recall specific emotions related to the images shown.
10. What does the research find out about decision making?
A. Both types of memory have great influence on it.
B. Our vivid memory helps us make wise decisions.
C. It mainly relies on subjective memory evaluation.
D. It’s decided by the accuracy of objective memory.
11. What is Analiz William’s attitude towards the study?
A. Optimistic. B. Tolerant.
C. Doubtful. D. Dismissive.
D
Mixing concrete and carbon powder (粉末) could enable houses to store an entire day’s worth of energy in their concrete foundations. This innovative method of creating a super capacitor (电容器) — an alternative to batteries — can be used to construct the foundations of buildings. When combined with renewable energy sources, it even could wirelessly recharge electric vehicles as they drive along.
“The materials are available to everyone all over the place, all over the world,” says Franz-Josef Ulm at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He and his colleagues showed how the super capacitor can be mixed with water to form a solid block with carbon-filled wire-like structures. When the concrete is placed in an electrolyte solution (电解液), it will serve as a capacitor, enabling energy storage.
The researchers say that the next step might be to create 12-volt super capacitors that can be connected to provide more charging power for large devices. They calculated that a concrete block similar to a cube 3.5 metres on each side could store 10 kilowatt-hours of energy. That is about a third of the average daily household electricity use in the US and about 1.25 times the average in the UK. The material could maintain its charging and discharging capabilities beyond 10,000 cycles, which means, in theory, that it could provide energy storage for a solar-powered home for more than 27 years.
Viable as it sounds, Yury Gogotsi at Drexel University in Pennsylvania notes that one engineering challenge is to replace conventional concrete with materials built with the super capacitors, and that keeping the super capacitor wetted with the conductive salt solution for the lifetime of the building or road would be challenging.
Still the MIT team expressed optimism about how many people worldwide could start experimenting with this relatively simple blueprint for a low-cost super capacitor. “The fundamental aspect of this technology is that it’s two historical, ancient materials that come together, that we have known for thousands of years,” says Admir Masic at MIT.
12 What is the innovative method intended for?
A. Serving as a battery to store energy.
B. Enhancing the strength of the concrete.
C Reducing the cost of constructing buildings.
D. Improving the material for electric vehicles.
13. How is Paragraph 3 mainly developed?
A. By explaining principles. B. By giving a definition.
C. By making a comparison D. By listing numbers.
14. Which can replace the underlined word “Viable” in Paragraph 4?
A. Important. B. Practicable. C. Unusual. D. Difficult.
15. What does Admir Masic mean in the last paragraph?
A. The new technology is promising.
B. He draws a blueprint for the new method.
C. Super capacitors still have a long way to go.
D. Natural materials are vital to the technology.

Seeing happiness differently
Since its official beginning in 2013 the International Day of Happiness has been observed for 11 years. It falls on March 20 every year. ___16___But what exactly is happiness, and how can one achieve it?
Experts in various fields hold different views on what happiness means and the factors that influence it.
Sonja Lyubomirsky is a researcher in the field of positive psychology. ___17___According to her, happiness can be described as “the experience of joy, content (满足) or positive well-being, combined with a sense that one’s life is good, meaningful and worthwhile.”
People’s levels of subjective happiness are influenced by both internal factors, such as personality and outlook, and external factors, such as the environment in which they live, according to the author of the book Culture and Psychology. ___18___These include their natural personality traits (特性), the quality of their relationships with others, the society they are a part of, and their ability to meet their basic needs.
More than that, experts in medical fields found that genes might influence happiness. In an article published in Iran J Public Health, three researchers show how twin studies have suggested that genetic factors count for35~50 percent of happiness. The study also mentioned two genes that may have an effect on happiness, which may help clarify the genetic base of happiness in the future.
From the aspect of economics, Tejvan Pettinger, an independent economics researcher, said that the factors affecting happiness can include income, quality of work, quality of consumption, leisure, the welfare of family members and the environment. ___19___He believes that at low levels of income, increasing income is generally considered to increase happiness as it allows a person to buy essential goods and services such as food, shelter, health care and education. However, after certain income levels, rising income contributes little to overall happiness.
___20___So people define it differently and pursue it in a variety of ways. It’s a life lesson worth our whole lifetime to explore.
A. This special day serves to remind people of the significance of happiness.
B. She provides a clear description of happiness.
C. Among them, income is a crucial factor.
D. Several important factors contribute to a person’s happiness.
E. What is their main source of income?
F. Career success may not be a guarantee of happiness.
G. The truth is that happiness itself is different for everyone.

Last summer vacation, I worked as a servant at a BBQ restaurant as a part-time job. One day, a man and his son came in and spent a very long time looking through the menu. Eventually, the father came up and started asking me about ingredients because his son was allergic.
At some point, the boy, who was probably about six or seven, handed me a card that listed all his allergies. It was a lot. I don’t remember exactly, but I know eggs, gluten (面筋), and pork were on there, as well as a couple of seasoning (调味品) things, like onions. There was no way I was remembering this, and I didn’t know what the seasoning blends were off the top of my head, so I asked to borrow the card so I could go check. He agreed, and off I went.
It turned out that a lot of our seasonings and sauces used at least one thing the boy was allergic to, and the allergy to pork took over half our menu options away on its own. I spent roughly ten minutes checking basically everything to see what we could serve him safely.
I occasionally went up to update the family on what I was doing. The father seemed mildly surprised that I was going out of my way to figure this out. Eventually, I did figure out what I could serve the boy. Because one of his allergies was meat. I switched out every piece of my cutting board, wiping the table for good measure as pork grease (猪油) gets everywhere. I also cleaned the remains out of the cutting station and made sure anyone else I saw serving them did the same, but that usually took less than a minute.
The father thanked me deeply for being so accommodating. He had apparently had trouble finding a restaurant that served something his son could eat. They quickly ended up becoming regulars, and I would see them at least once a week. Since the boy already knew what he wanted and what was safe, it was much faster.
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。
I tried to serve them well to satisfy them every time they came here.

When Posten walked outside to her car, she saw something that looked like a note or receipt stuck to the windshield.
She grabbed it and saw it was a black and white photo of a woman holding a little boy. On the back, it said, “Gertie Swatzell & J.D. Swatzell 1942.” A few hours later, Posten discovered that the photo had made quite a long journey — almost 130 miles on the back of terrible winds.
Posten had been tracking the tornadoes that hit the middle of the U.S., killing dozens of people. They came close to where she lives in New Albany, Indiana, across the Ohio River from Louisville, Kentucky. So she figured it must be from someone’s damaged home.
“Seeing the date, I realized that was likely from a home hit by a tornado. How else is it going to be there?” Posten said. “It’s a well-kept photo.”
So she posted an image of the photo on Facebook and Twitter and asked for help. She said she was hoping someone on social media would have a connection to the photo or share it with someone who had a connection.
“A lot of people shared it on Facebook. Someone came across it who is friends with a man with the same last name, and they tagged him,” said Posten.
That man was Cole Swatzell, who commented that the photo belonged to family members in Dawson Springs, Kentucky, almost 130 miles away from New Albany. Cole Swatzell on Sunday didn’t respond to a Facebook message seeking comment.
Posten plans to return the photo to the Swatzell family sometime this week.
“It’s really remarkable, definitely one of those things, given all that has happened, that makes you consider how valuable things are — memories, family heirlooms (传家宝), and those kinds of things,” Posten said. “It shows you the power of social media for good. It was encouraging that immediately there were tons of replies from people, looking up ancestor records, and saying ‘I know someone who knows someone and I’d like to help.’”
4. What helped Posten know the photo had made quite a long journey?
A. Learning about a home hit by a tornado.
B. Looking into the information of the photo.
C. Making tracks for the process of the tornadoes.
D. Recognizing the person in the photo at first sight.
5. What do we know about the photo?
A. It’s a damaged photo.
B. It belongs to Cole Swatzell.

When we recall a memory, we bring back specific details about it. But we often also experience a vivid feeling of remembering the event. Memory researchers call these processes objective and subjective memory. A new study shows they can function independently and involve different parts of the brain.
“The study distinguishes between how well we remember and how well we think we remember, and shows that decision making depends primarily on the subjective evaluation of memory evidence,” says psychologist Denis Guetta.
The researchers tested objective and subjective memory. After showing volunteers a series of images of common objects, the researchers showed them pairs of images and asked them to determine which of the two they had seen before. They were asked to rate the memory as “recollected” (vivid and detailed), or “familiar” (lacking detail). Some tests showed similar image pairs, others unrelated pairs. This setup measured objective memory based on recognition and subjective memory based on vividness.
The researchers also used fMRI (功能性磁共振成像) to measure brain activity during this task. The results showed higher levels of objective memory with pairs of similar images, but participants claimed vivid memories more with dissimilar pairs. They were more likely to base their decision about whether to keep or clear an image on memory feeling rather than accuracy. For example, a person could have a vivid memory of going to an event with friends. Some of the actual details of that memory might be a bit off, but they may feel it is a vivid memory, so they might decide to go out with the same people again.
The fMRI data showed that objective and subjective memory engaged varied regions of the brain. The regions involved in subjective experiences were also involved in decision making, supporting the connection between the two processes.
“By understanding how our brains give rise to vivid subjective memories and memory decisions, we are moving a step closer to understanding how we learn to evaluate memory evidence to make effective decisions in the future,” says researcher Analiz William.
8. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?
A. By analyzing problems. B. By giving examples.
C. By interpreting findings. D. By defining concepts.
9. What were the volunteers asked to do during the study?
A. To draw the images they had previously seen.
B. To compare details of objects they had been shown.
C. To categorize their memory as recollected or familiar.
D. To recall specific emotions related to the images shown.
10. What does the research find out about decision making?
A. Both types of memory have great influence on it.
B. Our vivid memory helps us make wise decisions.
C. It mainly relies on subjective memory evaluation.
D. It’s decided by the accuracy of objective memory.
11. What is Analiz William’s attitude towards the study?
A. Optimistic. B. Tolerant.
C. Doubtful. D. Dismissive.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. A

Mixing concrete and carbon powder (粉末) could enable houses to store an entire day’s worth of energy in their concrete foundations. This innovative method of creating a super capacitor (电容器) — an alternative to batteries — can be used to construct the foundations of buildings. When combined with renewable energy sources, it even could wirelessly recharge electric vehicles as they drive along.
“The materials are available to everyone all over the place, all over the world,” says Franz-Josef Ulm at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He and his colleagues showed how the super capacitor can be mixed with water to form a solid block with carbon-filled wire-like structures. When the concrete is placed in an electrolyte solution (电解液), it will serve as a capacitor, enabling energy storage.
The researchers say that the next step might be to create 12-volt super capacitors that can be connected to provide more charging power for large devices. They calculated that a concrete block similar to a cube 3.5 metres on each side could store 10 kilowatt-hours of energy. That is about a third of the average daily household electricity use in the US and about 1.25 times the average in the UK. The material could maintain its charging and discharging capabilities beyond 10,000 cycles, which means, in theory, that it could provide energy storage for a solar-powered home for more than 27 years.
Viable as it sounds, Yury Gogotsi at Drexel University in Pennsylvania notes that one engineering challenge is to replace conventional concrete with materials built with the super capacitors, and that keeping the super capacitor wetted with the conductive salt solution for the lifetime of the building or road would be challenging.
Still, the MIT team expressed optimism about how many people worldwide could start experimenting with this relatively simple blueprint for a low-cost super capacitor. “The fundamental aspect of this technology is that it’s two historical, ancient materials that come together, that we have known for thousands of years,” says Admir Masic at MIT.
12. What is the innovative method intended for?
A. Serving as a battery to store energy.
B. Enhancing the strength of the concrete.
C. Reducing the cost of constructing buildings.
D. Improving the material for electric vehicles.
13. How is Paragraph 3 mainly developed?
A. By explaining principles. B. By giving a definition.
C. By making a comparison D. By listing numbers.
14. Which can replace the underlined word “Viable” in Paragraph 4?
A. Important. B. Practicable. C. Unusual. D. Difficult.
15. What does Admir Masic mean in the last paragraph?
A. The new technology is promising.
B. He draws a blueprint for the new method.
C. Super capacitors still have a long way to go.
D. Natural materials are vital to the technology.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. A

【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词后的“one engineering challenge is to replace conventional concrete(一个工程挑战是取代传统的混凝土)”以及“would be challenging(会很有挑战性)”可知,这项技术的实现有很大的挑战,再根据“as it sounds(虽然听起来)”可知,画线词前后句子是相反的意思,因此划线词所在的句子表示“虽然听起来可行”,划线词viable的意思是“切实可行的”,和practicable意思相近,故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Still, the MIT team expressed optimism about how many people worldwide could start experimenting with this relatively simple blueprint for a low-cost super capacitor.(尽管如此,麻省理工学院的研究小组对世界上有多少人可以开始试验这种相对简单的低成本超级电容器的蓝图表示乐观。)”以及Admir Masic说的话“The fundamental aspect of this technology is that it’s two historical, ancient materials that come together, that we have known for thousands of years(这项技术的基本方面是,它是两种历史悠久的古老材料结合在一起,我们已经知道了几千年)”可知,这一新科技其实就是用一种我们所了解的存在了很久的两种物质融合在一起而已,实行起来比较容易,因此他认为这一科技很有前景。故选A。

Seeing happiness differently
Since its official beginning in 2013, the International Day of Happiness has been observed for 11 years. It falls on March 20 every year. ___16___But what exactly is happiness, and how can one achieve it?
Experts in various fields hold different views on what happiness means and the factors that influence it.
Sonja Lyubomirsky is a researcher in the field of positive psychology. ___17___According to her, happiness can be described as “the experience of joy, content (满足) or positive well-being, combined with a sense that one’s life is good, meaningful and worthwhile.”
People’s levels of subjective happiness are influenced by both internal factors, such as personality and outlook, and external factors, such as the environment in which they live, according to the author of the book Culture and Psychology. ___18___These include their natural personality traits (特性), the quality of their relationships with others, the society they are a part of, and their ability to meet their basic needs.
More than that, experts in medical fields found that genes might influence happiness. In an article published in Iran J Public Health, three researchers show how twin studies have suggested that genetic factors count for35~50 percent of happiness. The study also mentioned two genes that may have an effect on happiness, which may help clarify the genetic base of happiness in the future.
From the aspect of economics, Tejvan Pettinger, an independent economics researcher, said that the factors affecting happiness can include income, quality of work, quality of consumption, leisure, the welfare of family members and the environment. ___19___He believes that at low levels of income, increasing income is generally considered to increase happiness as it allows a person to buy essential goods and services such as food, shelter, health care and education. However, after certain income levels, rising income contributes little to overall happiness.
___20___So people define it differently and pursue it in a variety of ways. It’s a life lesson worth our whole lifetime to explore.
A. This special day serves to remind people of the significance of happiness.
B. She provides a clear description of happiness.
C. Among them, income is a crucial factor.

【答案】
Make Better Use of Digital Reading
Nowadays, digital reading is becoming increasingly popular. It offers several advantages and drawbacks. On one hand, digital reading provides great convenience, allowing us to carry an entire library with us. Additionally, it enhances the experience with interactive elements such as videos. However, potential distractions from other apps on the device can be a drawback. Furthermore, some argue that the lack of physical books takes away the sensory experience and emotional connection with reading.
In my opinion, we should develop digital discipline and strike a balance by occasionally incorporating traditional books into our reading. By enjoying the benefits and minimizing the drawbacks, we can fully enjoy digital reading.

第二节 (满分25分)
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。
Last summer vacation, I worked as a servant at a BBQ restaurant as a part-time job. One day, a man and his son came in and spent a very long time looking through the menu. Eventually, the father came up and started asking me about ingredients because his son was allergic.
At some point, the boy, who was probably about six or seven, handed me a card that listed all his allergies. It was a lot. I don’t remember exactly, but I know eggs, gluten (面筋), and pork were on there, as well as a couple of seasoning (调味品) things, like onions. There was no way I was remembering this, and I didn’t know what the seasoning blends were off the top of my head, so I asked to borrow the card so I could go check. He agreed, and off I went.
It turned out that a lot of our seasonings and sauces used at least one thing the boy was allergic to, and the allergy to pork took over half our menu options away on its own. I spent roughly ten minutes checking basically everything to see what we could serve him safely.
I occasionally went up to update the family on what I was doing. The father seemed mildly surprised that I was going out of my way to figure this out. Eventually, I did figure out what I could serve the boy. Because one of his allergies was meat. I switched out every piece of my cutting board, wiping the table for good measure as pork grease (猪油) gets everywhere. I also cleaned the remains out of the cutting station and made sure anyone else I saw serving them did the same, but that usually took less than a minute.
The father thanked me deeply for being so accommodating. He had apparently had trouble finding a restaurant that served something his son could eat. They quickly ended up becoming regulars, and I would see them at least once a week. Since the boy already knew what he wanted and what was safe, it was much faster.
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。
I tried to serve them well to satisfy them every time they came here.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
They appeared one afternoon and I asked why they hadn’t come here for a month.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
I tried to serve them well to satisfy them every time they came here. Knowing their preferences by heart, I would prepare a special corner for them, ensuring a pork-free and allergen-conscious environment. I even memorized the boy’s favorite dishes, making sure they were not only safe but also delicious. My colleagues, noticing our bond, began to go the extra mile for them too. The restaurant soon became a haven where the father and son could dine without worry. Their smiles and gratitude were my greatest reward.
They appeared one afternoon and I asked why they hadn’t come here for a month. The father hesitated, then shared their struggle to find allergy-friendly eateries during a relatives’ visit. Missing our restaurant, they appreciated the understanding and accommodation we provided, making their return a relief. Their gratitude instilled in me a profound fulfillment—beyond serving food, it was about fostering an inclusive space where all, despite allergies, felt cared for. Their story underscored how empathy and effort can transform a meal into a heartfelt moment.
【解析】
【导语】本篇书面表达是读后续写。本文以人物为线索展开。暑假在烧烤店打工时,面对小男孩多种食物过敏,作者借助其过敏原卡片仔细筛选菜品,避开过敏成分,确保食品安全,还彻底清潔以防污染。此举赢得父子感激,成为常客,男孩也渐渐熟知自己的安全菜单,点餐愈发快捷。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段句首内容“每次他们来这里,我都尽力为他们服务,使他们满意。”可知,第一段可以描写作者为他们服务时注意的内容和父子的感受。
②由第二段句首内容“一天下午他们来了,我问他们为什么一个月没来。”可知,第二段可以描写父亲的解释和作者的感受。
