B Wildfires were rapidly spreading through northern and southern California as powerful winds swept through the state, burning homes and forcing more than 200,000 people to leave their homes. Thousands of structures were destroyed in the massive fires. Firefighters and volunteers worked around the clock, risking their lives to save others, although thick clouds of wildfire smoke hung in the air. But it's not just humans in danger's path. A video of a horse running away from the rescue team to find his family of horses from CBS Los Angeles went viral. The public was touched by the horse's loyalty and love for his family. In the face of the disaster, many organizations and individuals stepped up to help. Some donated money to support the relief efforts, while others provided food, water, and shelter for the evacuees. Local businesses also played their part by offering discounts or free services to those affected by the fires. Scientists say that climate change is making wildfires more frequent and more severe. Rising temperatures, drought, and strong winds all contribute to the spread of wildfires. As the climate continues to change, it's important for communities to be prepared and take steps to prevent and manage wildfires. This includes things like creating fire - breaks, maintaining forests, and having emergency plans in place. 4. What happened in California? A. There was a big earthquake. B.

C Your career plays a vital role in your life and defines who you are, so it is worthwhile to take time to think about it. You'd better start considering your future career when you are still at school. However, this is not always easy, for you may just have a few ideas bouncing around in your head. One of the best ways to get some insight into a possible career path is to complete a “career aptitude test”, the result of which will tell you about your advantages and interests and give you advice on the career you may be suited to. There are a large number of different kinds of career aptitude tests, some for your personal attitudes and interests, while others focusing on asking you to rate different kinds of work scenarios. After finishing the test, you may get a list of career suggestions. However useful career aptitude tests may be, you need to remember that they are only meant for guidance. So what's the secret to a good career? The answer is finding something that you are truly passionate about! Education also plays an important part in your career choice. Make sure you have the right qualifications and skills for the career you want. If you want to be a doctor, you need to go to medical school and get the necessary degrees and licenses. Work experience can also give you an edge in the job market. You can get work experience through internships, part - time jobs, or volunteer work. This can help you learn new skills, build your network, and gain a better understanding of different careers. 7. Why is it important to think about your career? A.

D The gig economy has been growing rapidly in recent years. More and more people are choosing to work as freelancers, independent contractors, or in part - time, on - demand jobs. This trend is driven by several factors, including the rise of the internet and digital technology, which make it easier for people to connect with clients and find work. One of the main advantages of the gig economy is the flexibility it offers. Workers can choose when, where, and how much they want to work. For example, a graphic designer can work from home, set their own hours, and take on projects that interest them. This can be especially appealing to people who want to balance work with other aspects of their lives, such as family or studying. However, the gig economy also has its challenges. Gig workers often don't have the same benefits as traditional employees, such as health insurance, paid vacation, or retirement plans. They also may face income instability, as their work may not be consistent throughout the year. Despite these challenges, the gig economy is likely to continue growing. As technology continues to advance and more people look for flexible work options, the gig economy will offer new opportunities for workers and businesses alike. 10. What is the gig economy? A. An economy where people only work full - time jobs. B. An economy where people work as freelancers, independent contractors, or in part - time, on - demand jobs. C. An economy where people work for the government only. D. An economy where people don't work at all. 11. What is an advantage of the gig economy? A. Workers have a lot of pressure. B. Workers have no flexibility in their work. C. Workers can choose when, where, and how much they want to work. D. Workers always have a stable income. 12. What are the challenges of the gig economy? A. Gig workers have better benefits than traditional employees. B. Gig workers face income instability and lack of some benefits. C. Gig workers can only work in one place. D. Gig workers have too much work all the time. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Choosing a career is one of the most important decisions you will make in your life. 13 Here are some steps to help you make a good career choice. • Self - Assessment: Start by assessing your interests, skills, values, and personality. 14 For example, if you enjoy solving problems and working with numbers, a career in accounting or engineering might be a good fit. • Research Careers: Once you have a better understanding of yourself, start researching different careers. Look into the job duties, required education and training, salary, job outlook, and work environment of various careers. 15 You can also talk to people who work in the fields you are interested in to get first - hand information. • Gain Experience: Try to gain some experience in the careers you are considering. 16 This can help you see if you really like the work and if it's a good fit for you.

The twins set off on their journey，their backpacks filled with sandwiches，cookies，and bottles filled with cool，clear water from the village well.As they walked along the path，they noticed colorful trash scattered(散落) about，which ruined the natural beauty surrounding them. A brilliant idea flashed into Sarah’s mind.“Why don’t we pick up the litter along the way？We could clean up our beloved countryside and maybe even earn a few coins by recycling the materials.” Excited by the idea，the twins eagerly collected the scattered items.As they reached the foot of the hill，their bags heavy with the collected waste，they came across a recycling center.With excitement，they exchanged their findings for shiny coins.With new-found treasures in their pockets，they climbed up the hill. When they reached the top，they were greeted by a breathtaking view of their village.“It’s so beautiful！”Sam burst out.“We must share our adventure with Miss Harper and our classmates！” 注意：续写词数应为150个左右。 The next morning，Sarah and Sam returned to school，eager to meet Miss Harper.

One morning，Miss Harper，their favorite community service teacher，was introducing community volunteer work.Sam suddenly caught sight of the hill behind the schoolyard and was instantly inspired with the idea of climbing to the top. “Sarah，”whispered Sam.“Wouldn’t it be splendid if we climbed to the top of that hill today？It’s said to hold breathtaking views of our beloved village.” Hearing that，Sarah’s face lit up with excitement，her heart filled with eagerness.“Oh，Sam，that sounds great！But we promise Papa and Mama we will save our pocket money and not spend a single penny unnecessarily.”With determination in their hearts，the twins worked out a plan.They decided to bring homemade snacks and refreshing drinks from their own kitchen，ensuring they wouldn’t spend a penny. The twins set off on their journey，their backpacks filled with sandwiches，cookies，and bottles filled with cool，clear water from the village well.As they walked along the path，they noticed colorful trash scattered(散落) about，which ruined the natural beauty surrounding them. A brilliant idea flashed into Sarah’s mind.“Why don’t we pick up the litter along the way？We could clean up our beloved countryside and maybe even earn a few coins by recycling the materials.” Excited by the idea，the twins eagerly collected the scattered items.As they reached the foot of the hill，their bags heavy with the collected waste，they came across a recycling center.With excitement，they exchanged their findings for shiny coins.With new-found treasures in their pockets，they climbed up the hill. When they reached the top，they were greeted by a breathtaking view of their village.“It’s so beautiful！”Sam burst out.“We must share our adventure with Miss Harper and our classmates！” 注意：续写词数应为150个左右。 The next morning，Sarah and Sam returned to school，eager to meet Miss Harper.
