Aaron Warren of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, is a shining example of resilience (坚韧) and positivity. Born with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), Aaron was never expected to live past his third birthday — but he just turned 27, ignoring the odds with his optimism (乐观)。
Marking his “golden birthday”, Aaron shared a joyful photoshoot with a bold balloon display reading “Disabled AF”. “I’ve officially lived to see 24 more birthdays than I was expected to see!” Aaron shared, adding, “If I had to sum up today in one word, it would be thankful.” He expressed gratitude (感恩) for his family, friends, business team, and even his trusty wheelchair — joking that it “kind of carries this whole operation.”
He continued “Now, I’m off to celebrate with one of my favorite foods, lobster bisque soup. And if you happen to find a margarita (a strong drink) on my wheelchair tray... no you didn’t.”
Beyond his enthusiasm (热情), Aaron is also a businessman making a difference. He founded Zipped Brands, a company that changes stylish name-brand shoes by adding zippers, making them easier to wear for people of all abilities.
“Because of my disability and bent toes, wearing shoes — especially ones I loved — was nearly impossible,” Aaron shared. “I accepted that stylish shoes weren’t meant for me.” Then came a breakthrough: What if I could add zippers to my favorite shoe brands? That simple yet powerful idea sparked a business, ensuring that everyone, normal or disabled, has access to (可使用) fashionable footwear.
Aaron’s story is a powerful reminder that resilience, humor, and gratitude can turn any challenge into an opportunity. He refuses to be defined by limitations, instead using his journey to uplift others — whether through his optimism or his business making life easier for people of all abilities.
4. What did Aaron Warren celebrate according to paragraph 2?

B. To earn more money to treat his disability.
C. To raise public awareness of preventing SMA.
D. To make stylish shoes accessible to more people.

Debra Dolan has mailed postcards to herself for over 40 years, viewing them as snapshots (快照) not only of the time and place but also of who she was at that moment. She also enjoys sending postcards to friends and exchanging notes with her newspaper carrier. “I have learned more about myself from those cards,” Dolan said. “It is such a personal experience. Reading them back — all the joys and challenges of my life — brings me such pleasure.”
While some people like Dolan still enjoy writing on postcards, letter-writing seems to be becoming a lost art. Letter mail per address (letters, postcards, cards, etc.), has fallen from an average of 246 pieces of letter mail per Canadian household in 2014 to 124 pieces of letter mail per household in 2023. This mirrors global postal services struggling against Internet-based tools. Meanwhile, handwriting teaching in Canadian schools has been given less attention, leaving some youths unable to sign their names.
That’s something Elena Woo, 41, in Toronto, is hoping to change. Woo is the producer and editor of Young W, an online shop that encourages what she calls an analogue (模拟的) lifestyle, including letter-writing, art and other beautiful things in life. She is determined to promote letter-writing besides digital communication. “Letters offer a choice beyond screens,” she argues, stressing that compared to quick messages, handwritten words hold more emotional weight and bring people closer. “The medium is the message,” Woo adds, pointing out how letter-writing benefits both the sender and recipient (收件人) through thoughtful self-expression.
As technology advances, writing by hand holds special value — a bridge between past and present, and an effective balance to digital exchanges. Whether through postcards or holiday notes, these items carry more personal meaning no digital technology can match. There’s nothing better than opening a mailbox to find a letter waiting. Like Debra Dolan’s 40-year postcard collection, this practice creates good memories that stand the test of time.
8. What does Debra Dolan mainly consider her postcards as?
A. A recollection of her personal life. B. A regular activity for relaxation.
C. A method for contacting friends. D. A form of her creative expression.
9. What change is happening in Canadian society?
A. Growing loneliness in the digital age. B. A sharp fall in handwritten communication.
C. Tough competition between postal services. D. A rising need for traditional writing materials.
10. Why does Elena Woo support letter-writing?
A It inspires a slow lifestyle. B. It encourages an artistic interest.
C. It creates beautiful memories. D. It improves emotional connections.
11. What does the author suggest in the last paragraph?
A. Appreciating the joy of gift-giving. B. Advancing digital communicating.
C. Treasuring handwritten messages. D. Building more personal mailboxes.
D
New population of polar bears found
Researchers have identified a previously unknown population of polar bears in southeast Greenland. The area is seemingly not suitable for polar bears because it lacks sea ice, which the animals typically depend on to hunt. Scientists say the discovery of this population offers a deep understanding of how polar bears might be able to adapt as the planet gets warm and ice melts (融化).
Most polar bears hunt by walking on floating (漂浮) platforms of sea ice, which is made up of frozen seawater. However, because the Earth’s atmosphere is heating up, sea ice in the Arctic is melting. About one third of the Arctic’s winter sea ice has disappeared in the past 20 years. Polar bears are currently considered at risk of extinction, and previous studies have warned they could disappear if the ice continues to melt.
This newly found population (totaling about 300 polar bears) was thought to be part of a large group that lived on Greenland’s east coast. However, researchers looked at data tracking the bears’ movements over 36 years and found that populations in the northeast and southeast remained physically separate. They also tested the bears’ genes (基因) and confirmed that the two populations were different.
The polar bears in southeast Greenland live near glaciers (冰川), which are made up of freshwater. For most of the year, sea ice is not present where these bears live. Instead, scientists believe this population of polar bears hunts on chunks of glacial ice that break off and float into the sea. Researchers say this suggests that as sea ice disappears, other polar bears could learn to hunt using glacial ice.
Researchers warned, however, that most polar bears don’t live in areas where glacial ice can be found. Moreover, glaciers, including the ones in Greenland, are melting as well. Still, one research said the study gives hope that “polar bears might be able to hang on in an ice-free Arctic”.
12. What is the typical condition for polar bears’ survival?
A. Cold weather. B. Seawater. C. Freshwater. D. Sea ice.
13. What have the previous studies stressed?
A. The sea ice in the Arctic continues to melt.
B. Polar bears might get close to extinction.
C. Many species of polar bears have died out.
D. Global warming is becoming more serious.
14. What do we know about newly-found polar bears in southeast Greenland?
A. They often hunt with those in the northeast.
B. They have the same gene as northeast species.
C. They can use glacial ice as hunting platforms.
D They have adapted to living in the freshwater.
15. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?
A. Make protests. B. Offer suggestions.
C. Show concern. D. Express hopefulness.

In a small town, there lived a girl named Jessica, who had always been a star student, topping every class before college. Confident that her academic success would continue smoothly in college, Jessica spent most of her time scrolling (滚屏) on social media, ignoring her parents’ reminders to focus on her studies and lessons.
This carefree attitude continued for months until the day of Jessica’s mid-term exams. While her friends were worried, Jessica remained untroubled, convinced that, just like before, she would manage to get through, according to her past experiences and natural intelligence. However, when her friends gathered to discuss a math problem with her, Jessica offered the wrong answer. Hearing her answer, one of her friends showed an obviously concerned look. Jessica, attempting to maintain her calmness, assured her friends, “Don’t worry. I’ll be fine, just like I always was!” But inside, a sense of self-doubt began to grow.
As the exams began, Jessica’s sense of ease quickly disappeared. With each question, she found herself unsure, realizing just how little preparation she’d done. Despite this, she wrote down whatever she could recall from previous years, telling herself it would be enough for her to pass the exams.
However, when the results came out, Jessica was shocked to find she failed all the exams. The disappointment in her parents’ eyes was more than she could bear. Her friends, who had been studying hard, were celebrating their success, while Jessica was left to face the consequences of her actions. Jessica couldn’t escape the feeling of embarrassment. She knew she had a long road ahead, and repeating the year was the only way forward.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了手写书信减少及鼓励手写书信的意义。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Debra Dolan has mailed postcards to herself for over 40 years, viewing them as snapshots not only of the time and place but also of who she was at that moment.(Debra Dolan已经给自己寄了40多年的明信片,她把这些明信片看作是不仅记录了时间和地点,还记录了她当时是谁的快照)”可知,Debra Dolan主要把她的明信片看作是她个人生活的回忆。故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“While some people like Dolan still enjoy writing on postcards, letter-writing seems to be becoming a lost art. Letter mail per address (letters, postcards, cards, etc.), has fallen from an average of 246 pieces of letter mail per Canadian household in 2014 to 124 pieces of letter mail per household in 2023. (虽然像Dolan这样的人仍然喜欢在明信片上写字,但写信似乎正在成为一门失传的艺术。每个地址的信件(信件、明信片、卡片等)从2014年加拿大每户平均246件下降到2023年的124件)”可推知,加拿大社会正在发生的变化是手写交流急剧减少。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“She is determined to promote letter-writing besides digital communication. “Letters offer a choice beyond screens,” she argues, stressing that compared to quick messages, handwritten words hold more emotional weight and bring people closer.(她决心在数字通信之外推广写信。“信件提供了屏幕之外的一种选择,”她争辩道,强调与快速信息相比,手写的文字承载着更多的情感分量,并使人们更亲近)”可推知,Elena Woo支持写信是因为它能改善情感联系。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“As technology advances, writing by hand holds special value — a bridge between past and present, and an effective balance to digital exchanges. Whether through postcards or holiday notes, these items carry more personal meaning no digital technology can match. There’s nothing better than opening a mailbox to find a letter waiting. (随着科技的进步,手写具有特殊的价值——它是过去和现在的桥梁,也是数字交流的有效平衡。无论是通过明信片还是节日贺卡,这些物品都承载着数字技术无法比拟的个人意义。没有什么比打开邮箱发现有一封信在等着更好的了)”可知,作者认为手写书信意义重大,由此推断作者在最后一段建议珍惜手写的信息。故选C。
D
New population of polar bears found
Researchers have identified a previously unknown population of polar bears in southeast Greenland. The area is seemingly not suitable for polar bears because it lacks sea ice, which the animals typically depend on to hunt. Scientists say the discovery of this population offers a deep understanding of how polar bears might be able to adapt as the planet gets warm and ice melts (融化).
Most polar bears hunt by walking on floating (漂浮) platforms of sea ice, which is made up of frozen seawater. However, because the Earth’s atmosphere is heating up, sea ice in the Arctic is melting. About one third of the Arctic’s winter sea ice has disappeared in the past 20 years. Polar bears are currently considered at risk of extinction, and previous studies have warned they could disappear if the ice continues to melt.
This newly found population (totaling about 300 polar bears) was thought to be part of a large group that lived on Greenland’s east coast. However, researchers looked at data tracking the bears’ movements over 36 years and found that populations in the northeast and southeast remained physically separate. They also tested the bears’ genes (基因) and confirmed that the two populations were different.
The polar bears in southeast Greenland live near glaciers (冰川), which are made up of freshwater. For most of the year, sea ice is not present where these bears live. Instead, scientists believe this population of polar bears hunts on chunks of glacial ice that break off and float into the sea. Researchers say this suggests that as sea ice disappears, other polar bears could learn to hunt using glacial ice.
Researchers warned, however, that most polar bears don’t live in areas where glacial ice can be found. Moreover, glaciers, including the ones in Greenland, are melting as well. Still, one research said the study gives hope that “polar bears might be able to hang on in an ice-free Arctic”.
12. What is the typical condition for polar bears’ survival?
A. Cold weather. B. Seawater. C. Freshwater. D. Sea ice.
13. What have the previous studies stressed?
A. The sea ice in the Arctic continues to melt.
B. Polar bears might get close to extinction.
C. Many species of polar bears have died out.
D. Global warming is becoming more serious.
14. What do we know about newly-found polar bears in southeast Greenland?
A. They often hunt with those in the northeast.
B. They have the same gene as northeast species.
C. They can use glacial ice as hunting platforms.
D. They have adapted to living in the freshwater.
15. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?
A. Make protests. B. Offer suggestions.
C. Show concern. D. Express hopefulness.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在格陵兰岛东南部发现新北极熊种群及其生存情况。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The area is seemingly not suitable for polar bears because it lacks sea ice, which the animals typically depend on to hunt.(这个地区似乎不适合北极熊生存,因为它缺乏海冰,而北极熊通常依赖海冰来捕猎)”可知,北极熊生存的典型条件是海冰。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Polar bears are currently considered at risk of extinction, and previous studies have warned they could disappear if the ice continues to melt.(北极熊目前被认为有灭绝的危险,以前的研究也警告说,如果冰继续融化,它们可能会消失)”可知,以前的研究强调了北极熊可能接近灭绝。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Instead, scientists believe this population of polar bears hunts on chunks of glacial ice that break off and float into the sea.(相反,科学家们认为,这一种群的北极熊在断裂并漂浮到海里的大块冰川冰上捕猎)”可知,在格陵兰岛东南部新发现的北极熊可以利用冰川冰作为捕猎平台。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Still, one research said the study gives hope that “polar bears might be able to hang on in an ice-free Arctic”.(尽管如此,一项研究表示,这项研究带来了希望,即“北极熊可能能够在无冰的北极生存下来”)”可推知,作者在最后一段想要表达希望。故选D。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了低碳生活的重要性以及一些具体的低碳生活方式,包括购买前检查电器能源效率、关闭电器设备、选择更环保的出行方式和正确处理电子垃圾等。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Low-carbon living is about fighting climate change by saving resources and reducing emissions (排放) of greenhouse gases. After all, a healthier planet is also healthier for us!(低碳生活是通过节约资源和减少温室气体排放来应对气候变化。毕竟,一个更健康的地球对我们来说也更健康)”可知,这里阐述了低碳生活的意义。D选项 “By reducing our carbon footprint, we’ll have a cleaner world.(通过减少我们的碳足迹,我们将拥有一个更清洁的世界)”进一步说明了低碳生活能带来的好处,与前文逻辑连贯,起到承接上文的作用,故填D。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Not all electrical devices (设备) are designed for ideal energy efficiency. Even if two rice cookers share the same features, the amount of energy they require to run on may be different.(并非所有的电器设备都设计为具有理想的能源效率。即使两个电饭煲具有相同的功能,它们运行所需的能量也可能不同)”可知,能源效率低的设备会消耗更多能源。F选项“That means you’re paying extra for the same functions performed.(这意味着你为相同的功能支付了额外的费用)”是对前文的合理推断,解释了能源效率不同所带来的经济影响,与前文内容紧密相关,故填F。
【18题详解】
根据下文“Turning off your computer beyond working hours for a month is equal to charging your phone 1,000 times.(下班后关闭电脑一个月,相当于给手机充电1000次)”可知,这里以电脑为例说明关闭电器设备能节省能源。C选项“Do you often leave your computer on after work?( 你下班后经常让电脑开着吗?)”引出了关于电脑使用习惯的话题,与后文关于电脑节能的内容相呼应,故填C。
【19题详解】
根据下文“Transportation is the second largest source of greenhouse gases, and we all know the environmental benefits of using mass public transport. But if you need a private vehicle, there are also low-carbon options. For example, electric vehicles (EVs) produce zero emissions.(交通是温室气体的第二大来源,我们都知道使用大众公共交通对环境的好处。但如果你需要一辆私人汽车,也有低碳的选择。例如,电动汽车产生零排放)”可知,这一段主要讨论的是出行方式以及如何更环保地出行。B选项“Travel in a wiser and smarter way.(以更明智、更聪明的方式出行)”作为段落小标题,能够很好地概括这一段的主旨,故填B。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Responsible waste management is key to a green lifestyle, and one type of waste is often ignored: e-waste. Discarded (丢弃的) devices can cause disasters to the environment and our health, as they contain poisonous chemicals.(负责任的废物管理是绿色生活方式的关键,而有一种废物常常被忽视:电子垃圾。丢弃的设备会对环境和我们的健康造成灾难,因为它们含有有毒化学物质)”可知,电子垃圾会对环境和我们的健康造成灾难,因为它们含有有毒化学物质,可推理出此处强调了正确处理电子垃圾的重要性。G选项“Instead of throwing them around, bring them to special recycling points.(不要乱扔它们,把它们送到专门的回收点)”给出了正确处理电子垃圾的具体做法,符合语境,与前文内容连贯,故填G。

【答案】Dear Smith
I’m writing to share with you a World Earth Day-themed class meeting held by our class last Friday. It was definitely an instructive activity.
The class meeting was aimed at raising awareness about environmental protection. First, we watched a short documentary showing the beauty of our planet. The monitor then organized a heated discussion on current environmental issues like climate change and plastic pollution. In the end, we brainstormed practical ways to reduce our carbon footprint.
Actually everyone can make a difference in protecting our planet I’d like to adopt a low-carbon lifestyle and encourage others to do the same.
Yours,
Li Hua

57. 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。
In a small town, there lived a girl named Jessica, who had always been a star student, topping every class before college. Confident that her academic success would continue smoothly in college, Jessica spent most of her time scrolling (滚屏) on social media, ignoring her parents’ reminders to focus on her studies and lessons.
This carefree attitude continued for months until the day of Jessica’s mid-term exams. While her friends were worried, Jessica remained untroubled, convinced that, just like before, she would manage to get through, according to her past experiences and natural intelligence. However, when her friends gathered to discuss a math problem with her, Jessica offered the wrong answer. Hearing her answer, one of her friends showed an obviously concerned look. Jessica, attempting to maintain her calmness, assured her friends, “Don’t worry. I’ll be fine, just like I always was!” But inside, a sense of self-doubt began to grow.
As the exams began, Jessica’s sense of ease quickly disappeared. With each question, she found herself unsure, realizing just how little preparation she’d done. Despite this, she wrote down whatever she could recall from previous years, telling herself it would be enough for her to pass the exams.
However, when the results came out, Jessica was shocked to find she failed all the exams. The disappointment in her parents’ eyes was more than she could bear. Her friends, who had been studying hard, were celebrating their success, while Jessica was left to face the consequences of her actions. Jessica couldn’t escape the feeling of embarrassment. She knew she had a long road ahead, and repeating the year was the only way forward.

When the results of the final exams were announced, Jessica was nervous but hopeful.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
This failure, however, turned out to be an important turning point for Jessica. Realizing success requires effort, Jessica began to focus on self-discipline, determined not to let this failure define her, and handed in her phone to her parents voluntarily. Acknowledging the need for a serious change in her habits, Jessica threw herself into studies, choosing to stay home instead of attending social events. As the next round of final exams approached, Jessica felt neither excited nor overconfident. Instead, she fully focused on revising what she had learned.
When the results of the final exams were announced, Jessica was nervous but hopeful. Although she’d tried her best to study, she daren’t take the results lightly. However, the results were beyond Jessica’s expectations — she’d passed every exam with an A grade! Overwhelmed with relief and joy, she ran to her parents, shared the good news and promised to value hard work and discipline. Her parents, proud of her transformation, hugged her tightly and returned her phone. This time, Jessica had truly earned a fresh start, one built on responsibility, patience and the realization that success is a product of effort, not luck.
