In Middleboro, Massachusetts, a shop called Coffee Milano offers customers a very simple way to earn a cup of joe on the house --- if you dance for five seconds on your way in, you get a free coffee. Cafe owner Josh Rashid credits a different type of business for the idea. “We saw a pizza shop do it. And I’m like, ‘Let’s do that for coffee,”’ he said. “ Whoever shows up and dances gets a free coffee.” The idea has since become a smash hit with customers; however, it isn’t an everyday deal. The owner plans to do it only once a month. These “dance parties,” as Rashid calls them, are not advertised that far in advance. Even those who are perhaps too shy to bust a move but are around to catch the other dancing customers are getting an extra dose of joy in their day. “ I come here every day for coffee in the morning and lunch in the afternoon. We need a little more softness in this world for sure,” says customer John Murrayn. 1. The cafe owner Josh Rashid got the idea of giving free coffee from ________. A. his own creativity B. a pizza shop C. his customer D. a dancing party 2. How often does the cafe offer the “dance-for- coffee”? A Every day B. Once a week C. Once a month D. Twice a month 3. What does John Murrayn think about the “dance-for- coffee” deal? A. It’s too silly to do. B. It makes the world too soft. C. It brings extra joy. D. It’ s only for young people. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲述了位于马萨诸塞州米德尔伯勒的Coffee Milano咖啡馆通过让顾客跳舞来免费提供咖啡的创意活动。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Cafe owner Josh Rashid credits a different type of business for the idea. “We saw a pizza shop do it. And I’m like, ‘Let’s do that for coffee,”’ he said.( 咖啡馆老板乔希·拉希德（Josh Rashid）将这一想法归功于一种不同的业务类型。“我们看到一家披萨店这么做。他说：“我说，‘我们这样也能获得一杯免费的咖啡。’”)”可知，咖啡馆老板Josh Rashid 是从一家披萨店得到了提供免费咖啡这个主意的。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The idea has since become a smash hit with customers; however, it isn’t an everyday deal. The owner plans to do it only once a month.( 从那以后，这个想法就受到了顾客的欢迎；然而，这并不是每天都会发生的事情。老板计划每月只做一次。)” 可知，这个“跳舞换咖啡”的活动老板计划每月只举办一次。故选C项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中““ I come here every day for coffee in the morning and lunch in the afternoon. We need a little more softness in this world for sure,” says customer John Murrayn.( “我每天早上来这里喝咖啡，下午来吃午饭。在这个世界上，我们当然需要更多温柔，”顾客John Murrayn说。)”以及前文提到即使害羞不跳舞的人看到别人跳舞也能获得额外的快乐，可推知John Murrayn 认为这个“跳舞换咖啡”的活动能带来额外的快乐。故选C项。 B I keep a two-dollar bill in my wallet that was given to me by my mother when I was six years old. The bill goes with me wherever I go. My mother gave it to me so that luck would follow me everywhere. Although she passed away, I knew she would be watching over me the rest of my life. When I applied for my first job, I was thirty years old and very shy. The thought of being interviewed for a job was scary but I had to work. On my first interview, as I sat in the waiting room, I noticed there were five women ahead of me. All of the women were younger and very well-dressed. I knew I was up against women better qualified by looking at the length of their resumes. Ms Johnson, the office manager, summoned me into her office. “What makes you feel you are qualified for this job?” she asked. “I really need this job and there is nothing I cannot do,” I responded. She asked me a series of questions and the interview was over. As I exited her office, I turned around and said, “Ms Johnson, I know that I am not qualified like your other applicants, but please give me a chance. I learn quickly and can be a very productive member of your team.” I thanked her and went home exhausted. Oh well, I thought, tomorrow would be another day. That evening as I was getting ready for bed, I received a phone call from Ms Johnson. “Sara,” she said, “you were not the most qualified applicant, but you have so much confidence in yourself that we decided to give you a chance to prove yourself.” I screamed loud, jumping all over the room in disbelief. I could hear Ms Johnson laughing on the other end of the line. I got my wallet and took out my two-dollar bill. “Thanks mom, I am going to make it,” I said out loud so my mother could hear me. At that instant, I remembered the time she pulled me into the living room and said, “You are brilliant in my mind, and if you fail once don’t give up. Don’t fear failure. It is a way of getting us to try harder. You will succeed, I promise.” 4. The author decided to keep the two - dollar bill in her wallet because ________. A. it was a valuable antique B. it was given by her best friend C. her mother told her to do so D. it was a reminder of her mother’s love and encouragement 5. What made the author think she was less qualified than other applicants? A. She was older. B. She was shy. C. She was poor. D. She had less work experience. 6. What does the underlined word “summoned” probably mean? A. ordered B. forced C. called D. pushed 7. Based on the text, what can we infer about Ms. Johnson’s attitude towards the author? A. She was strict and critical. B. She was indifferent and cold. C. She was encouraging and supportive. D. She was impatient and rude. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者钱包里一直放着母亲在她六岁时给的两美元钞票，这代表着母亲的爱与守护。三十岁时作者去面试第一份工作，面对更年轻、条件更好的应聘者，她虽自觉资格不足，但仍表达了强烈渴望与自信。最终因自信获录用，她拿出钞票感谢母亲，也想起母亲曾给予的鼓励话语。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I keep a two-dollar bill in my wallet that was given to me by my mother when I was six years old. The bill goes with me wherever I go. My mother gave it to me so that luck would follow me everywhere. Although she passed away, I knew she would be watching over me the rest of my life.( 我的钱包里有一张两美元的钞票，那是我六岁时妈妈给我的。无论我走到哪里，账单都跟着我。我妈妈给我的，这样好运就会跟着我。虽然她去世了，但我知道她将在我的余生中守护着我)”可知，这张两美元的钞票是母亲给作者的，作者一直带在身边，因为它是母亲对她的爱和鼓励的一种提醒，即使母亲去世了，也感觉母亲在守护着她。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“When I applied for my first job, I was thirty years old and very shy. The thought of being interviewed for a job was scary but I had to work. On my first interview, as I sat in the waiting room, I noticed there were five women ahead of me. All of the women were younger and very well-dressed.( 当我申请第一份工作时，我30岁，非常害羞。一想到要面试一份工作就很可怕，但我必须工作。第一次面试时，我坐在候诊室里，注意到前面有五个女人。所有的女人都很年轻，穿着考究)”可知，作者认为她不如其他申请者合格是因为她觉得自己年纪大了。故选A项。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据前文作者在等待面试，以及划线单词句中“Ms Johnson, the office manager, …me into her office.( 办公室经理约翰逊女士把我……她的办公室)”可知，办公室经理约翰逊女士把作者叫进了她的办公室，“summoned”在这里意思是“叫，召唤”，与 C选项“called(叫，喊)”意思相近。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第五段““Sara,” she said, “you were not the most qualified applicant, but you have so much confidence in yourself that we decided to give you a chance to prove yourself.”(“萨拉，”她说，“你不是最合格的应聘者，但你对自己很有信心，所以我们决定给你一个证明自己的机会。”)”可知，约翰逊女士虽然知道作者不是最有资格的应聘者，但因为作者的自信决定给她一个机会证明自己，这表明约翰逊女士对作者是鼓励和支持的态度。故选C项。 C Geothermal energy uses heat from underground reservoirs of hot water to produce electricity. Environmental experts see geothermal as a good source of clean energy because it can provide power 24 hours a day. Geothermal power plants also require little maintenance and can last for many years. Marit Brommer is head of the International Geothermal Association based in Germany. She told The Associated Press, “We’re essentially standing on our own sun, which we can get clean, reliable energy from. In Southeast Asia, geothermal energy production is expected to increase ten times greater from 2020 to 2050, reaching 276 million megawatt-hours, the International Energy Agency says. After the U.S., Indonesia and the Philippines are the second and third-largest users of geothermal energy in the world. Both countries plan to expand their production of geothermal energy. However, developing new geothermal projects is costly and sometimes risky for companies when they test and drill to look for reservoirs. That makes it hard to get money for development, said Shigeru Yamamura, an energy specialist at the Asia Development Bank. The Indonesian Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources says it is working to shorten the wait time to get permits for new geothermal projects and also considering ways to increase the amount of money companies could make from the projects. The World Bank is providing a $150 million loan to increase Indonesian investments in geothermal energy. And the Green Climate Fund and the Clean Technology Fund are providing $127.5 million. Still, community pushback can slow development even when there is enough money. In Indonesia, villagers have protested geothermal projects. They say the projects are not safe and can harm the environment. Several geothermal projects in Indonesia have had deadly gas leaks in the past five years. In the Philippines, protests have led at least one company to pay money to Indigenous groups for the use of their lands. Brommer thinks governments and businesses should work with nearby communities. “We need to show that this development benefits all people, not just a company,” she said. “It’s not about being a good neighbor; it’s about being the best neighbor and really working with communities to respect their concerns.” 8. What do we know about geothermal energy from the first four paragraphs? A. Geothermal energy uses heat from the sun to produce electricity. B. Geothermal power plants don’t need repairing and can last for many years. C. People can get clean, reliable Geothermal energy from the sun. D. Indonesia is the largest user of geothermal energy in Southeast Asia. 9. Which of the following is not a possible difficulty in developing new geothermal projects? A. It is expensive. B. It is dangerous. C. It is not supported by the local government. D. It is opposed by nearby communities. 10. According to Brommer, what is important in geothermal development? A. The knowledge of how to be the best neighbour B. The need to show people the benefits from geothermal development C. The cooperation among governments, companies and local communities D. The support from local communities 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Geothermal Development Faces Barriers in some Southeast Asian countries B. Indonesia and the Philippines Plan to Expand Their Production of Geothermal Energy C. Geothermal Energy - the Clean, Reliable Energy from Our Own Sun D. Geothermal Energy - the Environmentally Friendly Energy Used in Southeast Asia 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了地热能利用地下热水储层的热量发电，被视为清洁能源，24 小时供电且维护少、寿命长。东南亚地热能产量预期大增，印尼和菲律宾是主要使用国并计划扩产。但开发新地热项目成本高、有风险，筹资困难。虽有资金支持，社区抵制仍阻碍发展，如印尼和菲律宾的情况。专家认为政府和企业应与社区合作，让发展惠及所有人。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“After the U.S., Indonesia and the Philippines are the second and third-largest users of geothermal energy in the world. Both countries plan to expand their production of geothermal energy. (继美国之后，印度尼西亚和菲律宾是世界上地热能源的第二和第三大用户。两国都计划扩大地热能的生产。)”以及第三段“In Southeast Asia, geothermal energy production is expected to increase ten times greater from 2020 to 2050, reaching 276 million megawatt-hours, the International Energy Agency says. (国际能源机构表示，从2020年到2050年，东南亚的地热能产量预计将增加10倍，达到2.76亿兆瓦时。)”可知，美国之后，印度尼西亚和菲律宾是世界上第二和第三大地热能用户，且在东南亚地区，印度尼西亚是该地区使用地热能最大的国家。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“However, developing new geothermal projects is costly and sometimes risky for companies when they test and drill to look for reservoirs. (然而，开发新的地热项目成本高昂，对公司来说，在进行测试和钻探以寻找储层时，有时还存在风险。)” 可知，开发新的地热项目成本高且有风险，A、B选项是困难；根据第七段中“Still, community pushback can slow development even when there is enough money. (然而，即使有足够的资金，社区的阻力也会减慢开发速度。)”可知，社区的反对也会阻碍地热能的开发，D 选项是困难；根据第六段“The Indonesian Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources says it is working to shorten the wait time to get permits for new geothermal projects and also considering ways to increase the amount of money companies could make from the projects. The World Bank is providing a $150 million loan to increase Indonesian investments in geothermal energy. And the Green Climate Fund and the Clean Technology Fund are providing $127.5 million. (印尼能源和矿产资源部说，他们正在努力缩短获得新地热项目许可的等待时间，同时也在考虑如何增加公司从这些项目中获得的利润。世界银行将提供1.5亿美元贷款，以增加印尼在地热能方面的投资。绿色气候基金和清洁技术基金将提供1.275亿美元。)” 可知，当地政府是支持地热能开发的，C选项不是困难。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Brommer thinks governments and businesses should work with nearby communities. “We need to show that this development benefits all people, not just a company,”she said. “It’s not about being a good neighbor; it’s about being the best neighbor and really working with communities to respect their concerns.” (布罗默认为，政府和企业应该与附近社区合作。她说：“我们需要证明，这种发展惠及所有人，而不仅仅是一家公司。”“这不是做一个好邻居的问题；这是关于成为最好的邻居，真正与社区合作，尊重他们的关切。”)”可知，布罗默认为政府、企业和附近社区之间的合作很重要，要让这种发展惠及所有人，尊重社区的担忧。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“Geothermal energy uses heat from underground reservoirs of hot water to produce electricity. Environmental experts see geothermal as a good source of clean energy because it can provide power 24 hours a day. Geothermal power plants also require little maintenance and can last for many years. (地热能利用地下热水储层的热量来发电。环境专家认为地热是一种很好的清洁能源，因为它可以24小时供电。地热发电厂也几乎不需要维护，而且可以持续使用很多年。)”可知，文章首先介绍了地热能的优点，接着以东南亚国家（主要是印度尼西亚和菲律宾）为例，讲述了地热能开发面临的成本高、有风险以及社区反对等障碍，A 选项“地热能开发在一些东南亚国家面临障碍。”能全面概括文章内容，适合作为文章的标题。故选A项。 D The educational resources available to students at home play a crucial role in shaping both learning and well-being. Over the last decade, these resources have changed substantially due to shifts in education and society. Reading is vital for learning, but students now have access to fewer books at home, according to PISA data. The number of books available in the homes of 15-year-old students decreased between 2015 and 2022 on average across 59 countries and economies with comparable data, according to students’ answers to PISA questionnaires. Despite this decline, books continue to be available in most students’ homes. In 2022, some 30% of students reported having more than 100 books, on average, with a similar proportion reported having between 26 and 100 books. Dictionaries saw the most significant decline. In 2015, 92% of students reported having a dictionary at home, but by 2022 this dropped to 80%, with the steepest declines in Brazil, the Dominican Republic and Jordan. No country had an increase in dictionaries at home, but there was no significant change in Georgia. In contrast, the availability of classic literature (for example, Shakespeare or relevant classical authors in the country’s language) at home increased from 52% in 2015 to 63% in 2022, with the largest gains in Denmark, Ireland, Lithuania, Switzerland, and Türkiye. Only Indonesia and Peru saw a decrease in classic literature at home. The availability of educational software by contrast, has increased rapidly. The proportion of families equipped with educational software increased from 53% in 2015 to 74% in 2022. Internet access and computers for schoolwork have remained widely available over the past decade. While there is potential for digital technologies to enhance education, this largely remains untapped, and the risks for adolescents’ well-being are clearer today. Education policy should explore ways to support families and students to navigate these complex changes in the family learning environment, balancing traditional and digital resources effectively. 12. What is the writing purpose of this article? A. To illustrate how educational resources shape students’ learning and well-being. B. To report how educational resources have changed at students’ home in the last decade C. To show how digital technologies affect students’ learning environment. D. To analyze how students gain access to educational resources at home 13. According to the text, in which country dictionaries at home saw the sharpest decrease? A. Jordan B. Georgia C. Denmark D. Indonesia 14. What is the author’s attitude towards the influence digital technologies have on traditional educational resources? A. uninterested. B. objective. C. unconcerned. D. subjective. 15. Where is the passage probably from? A. A biology textbook B. An education journal C. A book review D. A travel guidebook 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了家庭中可获取的教育资源对学生的学习和幸福感至关重要。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章大意以及第一段“The educational resources available to students at home play a crucial role in shaping both learning and well-being. Over the last decade, these resources have changed substantially due to shifts in education and society. Reading is vital for learning, but students now have access to fewer books at home, according to PISA data.( 学生在家获得的教育资源在塑造学习和幸福方面发挥着至关重要的作用。在过去的十年里，由于教育和社会的变化，这些资源发生了很大的变化。阅读对学习至关重要，但根据PISA的数据，学生们现在在家能接触到的书越来越少了。)”可知，文章开篇指出家庭中的教育资源对学生的学习和幸福有重要作用，且在过去十年发生了很大变化，接着从书籍、字典、经典文学作品、教育软件等方面具体阐述了这些变化，最后提到教育政策应探索方法应对家庭学习环境的这些复杂变化。所以文章的写作目的是报告过去十年学生家中的教育资源是如何变化的。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Dictionaries saw the most significant decline. In 2015, 92% of students reported having a dictionary at home, but by 2022 this dropped to 80%, with the steepest declines in Brazil, the Dominican Republic and Jordan.( 词典的下降最为显著。2015年，92%的学生表示家里有一本词典，但到2022年，这一比例降至80%，其中巴西、多米尼加共和国和约旦的降幅最大。)”可知，在家中有字典的学生比例下降显著，其中巴西、多米尼加共和国和约旦下降幅度最大，所以在家中字典数量下降最急剧的国家中包含约旦。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The availability of educational software, by contrast, has increased rapidly. The proportion of families equipped with educational software increased from 53% in 2015 to 74% in 2022. Internet access and computers for schoolwork have remained widely available over the past decade. While there is potential for digital technologies to enhance education, this largely remains untapped, and the risks for adolescents’ well-being are clearer today. Education policy should explore ways to support families and students to navigate these complex changes in the family learning environment, balancing traditional and digital resources effectively.( 相比之下，教育软件的可用性迅速增加。配备教育软件的家庭比例从2015年的53%上升到2022年的74%。在过去的十年里，互联网接入和用于学习的电脑仍然广泛使用。虽然数字技术有潜力加强教育，但这在很大程度上仍未得到开发，青少年福祉面临的风险今天更加明显。教育政策应探索支持家庭和学生在家庭学习环境中应对这些复杂变化的方法，有效地平衡传统资源和数字资源。)”可知，作者既提到了教育软件等数字技术的可获得性快速增加，也指出数字技术提升教育的潜力大多未被开发，且对青少年幸福存在明显风险，还提出要平衡传统和数字资源。作者客观地阐述了数字技术对传统教育资源的影响，不带有主观的喜好或厌恶，是客观的态度。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章主要围绕学生家中教育资源在过去十年的变化情况进行阐述，涉及教育资源、教育政策等与教育相关的内容。A选项“生物教科书”，文章内容与生物无关；C选项“书评”，文章不是对某本书的评论；D选项“旅游指南”，文章与旅游无关。而B选项“教育期刊”符合文章的主题和内容，所以文章可能来自教育期刊。故选B项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 “Summarize” is the verb form of the word “summary.” A summary briefly explains the main ideas of a piece of writing or a speech but does not include all the details. ___16___ Being able to summarize is a useful skill to have, not only for passing exams but also for working in professions. ___17___ You can use the following method to do this: First, read or listen to the material one time without writing any notes. ___18___ Next, read or listen again.

She had carefully prepared all her painting tools and materials the night before, repeatedly checking to ensure nothing was amiss. She’d even practiced drawing the park’s flower beds from memory, longing to create a masterpiece that could win her the top prize. When she reached the park, she swiftly found an ideal spot beside a flower bed filled with various colorful blossoms. After setting up her easel (画架), adjusting it to the perfect height, and arranging her paints in her usual order, she began observing the scenery intently, aiming to capture both the appearance and the lively essence of the moment. Sadly, while she was completely concentrated on her painting, a young boy playing football nearby accidentally kicked the ball with hard force. The ball moved very fast towards Lily’s easel like a missile and knocked over her paint palette (调色板). The paints spilled (泼洒) everywhere, spoiling her half-finished painting and staining her clothes. Lily was shocked and on the edge of tears. The boy rushed over, his face flushed with guilt (愧疚), and apologized over and over, offering to help clean up. But Lily knew the damage was unchangeable, and her hopes of winning the competition seemed to disappear in that instant. She felt a heavy lump (哽咽) in her throat as she was extremely sad at the loss of her cherished painting. 注意：1.所续写短文词数应为150左右； 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Looking at the boy’s sincere and regretful face, Lily took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With the boy’s help, Lily managed to make some adjustments to her painting. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Looking at the boy’s sincere and regretful face, Lily took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She thought that it was an accident and the boy didn’t mean to do it. So she said to the boy, “It’s okay. Let’s see what we can do now.” The boy’s eyes lit up with gratitude. They quickly got to work, cleaning up the spilled paints as best they could. Lily then carefully examined her half-finished painting, trying to figure out how to salvage it. She realized that although the original idea was damaged, she could still create something new based on the current situation. With the boy’s help, Lily managed to make some adjustments to her painting. She added some new elements to cover the stained parts, using the spilled colors in a creative way. The boy watched in admiration as Lily skillfully turned the disaster into an opportunity for a new creation. As time passed, a new and unique painting gradually took shape on the canvas. When the competition ended, the judges were amazed by Lily’s ability to adapt and create under such difficult circumstances. To her surprise, she won the second prize. Lily was overjoyed. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了艺术系学生莉莉满怀期待参加城市公园的户外绘画比赛，精心准备且找好理想位置作画时，附近踢球男孩意外打翻调色板，毁了她半成品画作，她震惊难过。看到男孩愧疚，她冷静下来，和男孩清理后，在其帮助下调整画作，化意外为新创意，最终获比赛二等奖，她感谢男孩并领悟到意外也能带来美好结果。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“看着男孩真诚而后悔的脸，莉莉深吸了一口气，试图让自己平静下来。”可知，第一段可描写莉莉平静下来后努力挽救被破坏的画作的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“在男孩帮助下，莉莉设法对她的画做了一些调整。”可知，第二段可描写莉莉以一种创造性的方式让画作重新修复并且获得了第二名的成绩。 2.续写线索：深吸了一口气——对男孩说“没关系”——努力挽救被破坏的画作——设法对她的画做了一些调整——获得了第二名的成绩——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①检查：examined /checked ②.意识到：realized /was aware of ③.把……变成：turned…into/ changed …into 情绪类 ①.感激：gratitude/ appreciation ②.惊讶的：amazed /astonished 【点睛】[高分句型1].

In Middleboro, Massachusetts, a shop called Coffee Milano offers customers a very simple way to earn a cup of joe on the house --- if you dance for five seconds on your way in, you get a free coffee. Cafe owner Josh Rashid credits a different type of business for the idea. “We saw a pizza shop do it. And I’m like, ‘Let’s do that for coffee,”’ he said. “ Whoever shows up and dances gets a free coffee.” The idea has since become a smash hit with customers; however, it isn’t an everyday deal. The owner plans to do it only once a month. These “dance parties,” as Rashid calls them, are not advertised that far in advance. Even those who are perhaps too shy to bust a move but are around to catch the other dancing customers are getting an extra dose of joy in their day. “ I come here every day for coffee in the morning and lunch in the afternoon. We need a little more softness in this world for sure,” says customer John Murrayn. 1. The cafe owner Josh Rashid got the idea of giving free coffee from ________. A. his own creativity B. a pizza shop C. his customer D. a dancing party 2. How often does the cafe offer the “dance-for- coffee”? A. Every day B. Once a week C. Once a month D. Twice a month 3. What does John Murrayn think about the “dance-for- coffee” deal? A. It’s too silly to do. B. It makes the world too soft. C. It brings extra joy. D. It’ s only for young people. B I keep a two-dollar bill in my wallet that was given to me by my mother when I was six years old. The bill goes with me wherever I go. My mother gave it to me so that luck would follow me everywhere. Although she passed away, I knew she would be watching over me the rest of my life. When I applied for my first job, I was thirty years old and very shy. The thought of being interviewed for a job was scary but I had to work. On my first interview, as I sat in the waiting room, I noticed there were five women ahead of me. All of the women were younger and very well-dressed. I knew I was up against women better qualified by looking at the length of their resumes. Ms Johnson, the office manager, summoned me into her office. “What makes you feel you are qualified for this job?” she asked. “I really need this job and there is nothing I cannot do,” I responded. She asked me a series of questions and the interview was over. As I exited her office, I turned around and said, “Ms Johnson, I know that I am not qualified like your other applicants, but please give me a chance. I learn quickly and can be a very productive member of your team.” I thanked her and went home exhausted. Oh well, I thought, tomorrow would be another day. That evening as I was getting ready for bed, I received a phone call from Ms Johnson. “Sara,” she said, “you were not the most qualified applicant, but you have so much confidence in yourself that we decided to give you a chance to prove yourself.” I screamed loud, jumping all over the room in disbelief. I could hear Ms Johnson laughing on the other end of the line. I got my wallet and took out my two-dollar bill. “Thanks mom, I am going to make it,” I said out loud so my mother could hear me. At that instant, I remembered the time she pulled me into the living room and said, “You are brilliant in my mind, and if you fail once don’t give up. Don’t fear failure. It is a way of getting us to try harder. You will succeed, I promise.” 4. The author decided to keep the two - dollar bill in her wallet because ________. A it was a valuable antique B. it was given by her best friend C. her mother told her to do so D. it was a reminder of her mother’s love and encouragement 5. What made the author think she was less qualified than other applicants? A. She was older. B. She was shy. C. She was poor. D. She had less work experience. 6. What does the underlined word “summoned” probably mean? A. ordered B. forced C. called D. pushed 7. Based on the text, what can we infer about Ms. Johnson’s attitude towards the author? A. She was strict and critical. B. She was indifferent and cold. C. She was encouraging and supportive. D. She was impatient and rude. C Geothermal energy uses heat from underground reservoirs of hot water to produce electricity. Environmental experts see geothermal as a good source of clean energy because it can provide power 24 hours a day. Geothermal power plants also require little maintenance and can last for many years. Marit Brommer is head of the International Geothermal Association based in Germany. She told The Associated Press, “We’re essentially standing on our own sun, which we can get clean, reliable energy from. In Southeast Asia, geothermal energy production is expected to increase ten times greater from 2020 to 2050, reaching 276 million megawatt-hours, the International Energy Agency says. After the U.S., Indonesia and the Philippines are the second and third-largest users of geothermal energy in the world. Both countries plan to expand their production of geothermal energy. However developing new geothermal projects is costly and sometimes risky for companies when they test and drill to look for reservoirs. That makes it hard to get money for development, said Shigeru Yamamura, an energy specialist at the Asia Development Bank. The Indonesian Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources says it is working to shorten the wait time to get permits for new geothermal projects and also considering ways to increase the amount of money companies could make from the projects. The World Bank is providing a $150 million loan to increase Indonesian investments in geothermal energy. And the Green Climate Fund and the Clean Technology Fund are providing $127.5 million. Still, community pushback can slow development even when there is enough money. In Indonesia, villagers have protested geothermal projects. They say the projects are not safe and can harm the environment. Several geothermal projects in Indonesia have had deadly gas leaks in the past five years. In the Philippines, protests have led at least one company to pay money to Indigenous groups for the use of their lands. Brommer thinks governments and businesses should work with nearby communities. “We need to show that this development benefits all people, not just a company,” she said. “It’s not about being a good neighbor; it’s about being the best neighbor and really working with communities to respect their concerns.” 8. What do we know about geothermal energy from the first four paragraphs? A. Geothermal energy uses heat from the sun to produce electricity. B Geothermal power plants don’t need repairing and can last for many years. C. People can get clean, reliable Geothermal energy from the sun. D. Indonesia is the largest user of geothermal energy in Southeast Asia. 9. Which of the following is not a possible difficulty in developing new geothermal projects? A. It is expensive. B. It is dangerous. C. It is not supported by the local government. D. It is opposed by nearby communities. 10. According to Brommer, what is important in geothermal development? A. The knowledge of how to be the best neighbour B. The need to show people the benefits from geothermal development C. The cooperation among governments, companies and local communities D. The support from local communities 11 What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Geothermal Development Faces Barriers in some Southeast Asian countries B. Indonesia and the Philippines Plan to Expand Their Production of Geothermal Energy C. Geothermal Energy - the Clean, Reliable Energy from Our Own Sun D. Geothermal Energy - the Environmentally Friendly Energy Used in Southeast Asia D The educational resources available to students at home play a crucial role in shaping both learning and well-being. Over the last decade, these resources have changed substantially due to shifts in education and society. Reading is vital for learning, but students now have access to fewer books at home, according to PISA data. The number of books available in the homes of 15-year-old students decreased between 2015 and 2022 on average across 59 countries and economies with comparable data, according to students’ answers to PISA questionnaires. Despite this decline, books continue to be available in most students’ homes. In 2022, some 30% of students reported having more than 100 books, on average, with a similar proportion reported having between 26 and 100 books. Dictionaries saw the most significant decline. In 2015, 92% of students reported having a dictionary at home, but by 2022 this dropped to 80%, with the steepest declines in Brazil, the Dominican Republic and Jordan. No country had an increase in dictionaries at home, but there was no significant change in Georgia. In contrast, the availability of classic literature (for example, Shakespeare or relevant classical authors in the country’s language) at home increased from 52% in 2015 to 63% in 2022, with the largest gains in Denmark, Ireland, Lithuania, Switzerland, and Türkiye. Only Indonesia and Peru saw a decrease in classic literature at home. The availability of educational software, by contrast, has increased rapidly. The proportion of families equipped with educational software increased from 53% in 2015 to 74% in 2022. Internet access and computers for schoolwork have remained widely available over the past decade. While there is potential for digital technologies to enhance education, this largely remains untapped, and the risks for adolescents’ well-being are clearer today. Education policy should explore ways to support families and students to navigate these complex changes in the family learning environment, balancing traditional and digital resources effectively. 12.

She had carefully prepared all her painting tools and materials the night before, repeatedly checking to ensure nothing was amiss. She’d even practiced drawing the park’s flower beds from memory, longing to create a masterpiece that could win her the top prize. When she reached the park, she swiftly found an ideal spot beside a flower bed filled with various colorful blossoms. After setting up her easel (画架), adjusting it to the perfect height, and arranging her paints in her usual order, she began observing the scenery intently, aiming to capture both the appearance and the lively essence of the moment. Sadly, while she was completely concentrated on her painting, a young boy playing football nearby accidentally kicked the ball with hard force. The ball moved very fast towards Lily’s easel like a missile and knocked over her paint palette (调色板). The paints spilled (泼洒) everywhere, spoiling her half-finished painting and staining her clothes. Lily was shocked and on the edge of tears. The boy rushed over, his face flushed with guilt (愧疚), and apologized over and over, offering to help clean up. But Lily knew the damage was unchangeable, and her hopes of winning the competition seemed to disappear in that instant. She felt a heavy lump (哽咽) in her throat as she was extremely sad at the loss of her cherished painting. 注意：1.所续写短文词数应为150左右； 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Looking at the boy’s sincere and regretful face, Lily took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With the boy’s help, Lily managed to make some adjustments to her painting. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
