【原文】M: Graduates, listen up. Your degree helps you get an interview. But getting the job depends on how well you prepare. First, learn about the company. Don’t just look at their website. Read their news, find out their problems, and think about how your skills can help them. If they ask “Why us?”, your answer should show you really know the company. Second, use the STAR method to answer questions. That means: Situation, Task, Action, and Result. Don’t just say, “I work well in teams.” Say something like, “In my internship, our team was behind schedule. I started daily meetings, and we finished early.” The more details, the better. Third, dress properly. Wear something one level more formal than the company style. If they wear jeans, you should wear a suit. Finally, ask good questions. For example, “What does success mean in this job?” or “How do you help your workers grow?” These show you’re thinking about the future.
Remember, an interview is a two-way talk. You’re also seeing if the job is right for you. Don’t rely on luck. Prepare well, and you’ll do great!
第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Blue Light Protection Guidelines
What is blue light?
When we look at digital screens, we expose ourselves to large amounts of blue light. This type of exposure isn’t as dangerous as the type of radiation we get from X-rays or ultraviolet light (紫外线), but studies have suggested too much exposure can lead to digital eye strain (疲劳) and retinal (视网膜) damage. In addition, blue light also affects sleep schedules.
What are blue light glasses?
Blue-light glasses work to reduce the intensity of short-wavelength light. They are marketed to help with eye strain by blocking blue light, thus improving sleep quality.
Do they work?
Will they improve your health? The answer is that we don’t know. The current research regarding the impact of blue light on our eyes, as well as the effectiveness of blue-light blocking glasses, has been generally inconclusive. One study suggests blue light glasses may help protect the retina from long-term blue light exposure. However, another study concludes there’s a “lack of high-quality evidence” to support their effectiveness in reducing eye strain, improving sleep quality, or preventing retinal damage.
Usage recommendations
Over-reliance on blue light glasses without breaks may worsen eye strain. Spending days glued to your computer can be hard on your well-being, so be sure to take regular breaks and take care of your health. Notes
If a pair is outside of your budget and you’ re looking for other ways to ease eye strain, try the 20-20-20rule: every 20 minutes spent on a screen, take a break to look at an object 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds.
21. What are blue-light glasses designed to do?
A. Block ultraviolet rays completely. B. Prevent long-term retinal damage.
C. Block blue light for eye comfort. D. Improve sleep quality dramatically.
22. How does the author think of the impact of blue-light glasses?
A. Supportive. B. Uncertain. C. Unconcerned. D. Enthusiastic.
23. What is the author’s main advice for reducing eye strain?
A. Wear blue-light glasses when using screens.
B. Avoid spending too much time on the computer.
C. Combine healthy screen habits with regular breaks.
D. Use the 20-20-20 rule instead of wearing glasses.
【答案】21. C 22. B 23. C
【解析】

In a quiet corner of Lahore, Pakistan, stands a small barber shop called Hope & Scissors. It’s a modest place run by Adil Raza, a 42-year-old barber with a warm smile and a heart for his community. Adil offers free haircuts to children from low-income families-with one unique condition: they must read aloud to him. As a father, Adil knows how important reading is for young minds. “I have three children myself,” he says. “I just want kids to experience the power of reading.”
The idea began in 2021 at a local “Back to School” event organized by education volunteers. Adil had been invited to offer free grooming services, but he wanted to add something more. He set up a chair outside and began giving free haircuts to kids who read from storybooks. The idea caught on quickly. Encouraged by the response, Adil turned it into a monthly event at his shop. Soon, word spread across the city. Community members donated books, and a mobile library joined the effort. Local educator Imran Hussain, touched by the project, sent a box of children’s books from his school library.
Hussain, a teacher for over 20 years, praised the idea. “Reading often stops in the summer months. What Adil is doing keeps the habit alive. I haven’t seen anything quite like it.” One single mother of four said the free haircuts saved her money and got her children excited about reading. Ten-year-old Zain, holding his favorite book, said, “Reading feels like traveling with your mind.”
Adil hopes his “Reading Barber” concept will expand to other cities in Pakistan. He imagines barbers proudly displaying signs that say: We support reading here. Despite rising media attention, he remains modest. “When a community comes together, small ideas can grow,” he says.
Adil encourages others, “You don’t need a degree to help children read. Just a chair, a book, and a little time.”
24. Where did Adil first get the idea for his project?
A. From low-income families. B. From his three children.
C. From education volunteers. D. From a community event.
25. What is the purpose of paragraph 3?
A. To show how people were motivated. B. To present community responses.
C. To highlight mobile libraries’ role. D. To stress reading’s power for kids.
26. What is Adil’s long-term hope for his literacy project?
A. To provide free books for children in need.
B. To expand reading efforts to public spaces.
C. To inspire more barbershops to join the cause.
D. To attract more public attention to child literacy.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. A Barber’s Innovative Reading Project
B. From Free Haircuts to Reading Habits
C. How Reading Changed Children’s Lives
D. Free Haircuts Spark a Love of Reading
【答案】24. D 25. B 26. C 27. D
【解析】

Adil offers free haircuts to children from low-income families-with one unique condition: they must read aloud to him.(在巴基斯坦拉合尔一个安静的角落里,有一家名为Hope&Scissors的小理发店。这是一个由42岁的理发师Adil Raza经营的一个普通的地方,他面带温暖的微笑,对社区怀有一颗心。Adil为低收入家庭的儿童提供免费理发服务,但有一个独特的条件:他们必须大声朗读给他听)”以及文章内容可知,本文主要讲述了理发师Adil通过为低收入家庭的孩子免费理发并让他们阅读的方式,激发孩子们对阅读的热爱,还希望推广这一理念,所以“免费理发激发了对阅读的热爱”最能概括文章主旨,适合作为文章标题。故选D。
C
Each year, an estimated 53,000 tourists visit Antarctica, and they could each be unintentionally contributing to the melting of 83 tonnes of snow, according to a new study published in Nature Communications.
The culprit is black carbon, created when fossil (化石) fuels and biomass are burnt. Black carbon settles on the snow, causing it to darken in colour. This increases the absorption of heat from the sun and quickens melting.
Due to its remoteness, Antarctica has a low background level of black-carbon pollution compared to other parts of the world. However, the new study indicates that black carbon from Antarctic tourism and research activities has nevertheless had a notable effect on the icy landscape.
The international research team measured black carbon concentrations in snow collected from 28 sites along a 2,000-kilometre stretch of the northern Antarctic Peninsula. The researchers found that black carbon levels were higher near research facilities and landing sites for tourist ships than at more remote regions of the peninsula.
The study estimates that, in heavily impacted areas, black carbon pollution is causing snowpack to decrease by up to 23 millimetres each year. Altogether, an estimated 4.4 megatonnes per year of snow is melting more quickly in the summer due to the impacts of black carbon from tourism alone — translating to 83 tonnes per visitor. Although these figures are striking, the real impact could be more complex than the data suggest.
“It is likely that local emissions (排放) account for most of the black carbon content in samples collected around research facilities and popular shore tourist-landing sites,” the paper states.
Ships, aero planes, helicopters, generators and trucks are known sources of black carbon that can settle on snow. The study authors suggest that tourist cruises (巡航) and fuel-powered equipment at scientific research stations are likely the largest sources of black-carbon pollution in the study area. That’s despite efforts in recent years to reduce the environmental footprint of Antarctic tourism, such as switching to marine diesel (船用柴油) or deep cycle battery power.
“Our results show that more remains to be done to reduce the impacts of tourism and ships in Antarctica,” the authors write.
28. What does the underlined word “culprit” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Main cause. B. Harmful gas. C. Useful energy. D. Unexpected result.
29. How is black carbon produced in Antarctica?
A. From winds blowing in foreign dust.
B. From volcanic activities under the ice.
C. From natural changes in temperature.
D. From fuel use in tourism and research.
30. What do the figures in paragraph 5 most likely imply?
A. They exactly show each visitor’s carbon footprint.
B. The impact of human activity may be underestimated.
C. They suggest that Antarctica tourism should be banned.
D. The data may overstate the snowpack melting problem.
31. What do the authors think of current environmental efforts in Antarctica?
A. They still show limited effect. B. They paint a rosy picture.
C. They are a drop in the bucket. D. They boost Antarctica tourism.
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. B 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究表明南极旅游活动通过黑碳排放加速雪层融化,目前的环保措施尚未有效遏制黑碳污染,研究者呼吁加强减排行动。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。画线词的上文“Each year, an estimated 53,000 tourists visit Antarctica, and they could each be unintentionally contributing to the melting of 83 tonnes of snow, according to a new study published in Nature Communications. (每年约有5.3万名游客到访南极。根据《自然·通讯》发表的最新研究,每位游客可能无意中导致83吨积雪融化)”指出前往南极的游客会导致积雪融化,画线词的下文“Black carbon settles on the snow, causing it to darken in colour. This increases the absorption of heat from the sun and quickens melting. (黑碳沉降在雪面上,导致雪的颜色变深。这会增强对太阳热量的吸收,从而加速冰雪融化)”说明黑碳对雪层的影响机制,因此这里是指黑碳是积雪融化的诱因。由此猜测,画线词意思应该是“主要原因,主因”。故选A项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, the new study indicates that black carbon from Antarctic tourism and research activities has nevertheless had a notable effect on the icy landscape. (然而,这项新研究表明,南极旅游和科研活动产生的黑碳仍对这片冰雪景观产生了显著影响)”可知,黑碳是由旅游和研究中使用的燃料产生的。故选D项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“The study estimates that, in heavily impacted areas, black carbon pollution is causing snowpack to decrease by up to 23 millimetres each year. Altogether, an estimated 4.4 megatonnes per year of snow is melting more quickly in the summer due to the impacts of black carbon from tourism alone — translating to 83 tonnes per visitor. (研究表明,在污染严重的区域,黑碳污染导致积雪每年减少多达23毫米。仅旅游活动产生的黑碳影响,就导致每年约440万吨积雪在夏季加速融化——相当于每位游客造成83吨的积雪消融)”可知,这些数据表明黑碳污染导致的积雪融化量非常巨大,暗示了人类活动的影响可能被低估了。故选B项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“That’s despite efforts in recent years to reduce the environmental footprint of Antarctic tourism, such as switching to marine diesel (船用柴油) or deep cycle battery power. (尽管近年来已采取多项措施来减少南极旅游的环境足迹——例如改用船用柴油或深循环电池供电——但问题依然存在)”和最后一段中该研究的作者们所说的话“Our results show that more remains to be done to reduce the impacts of tourism and ships in Antarctica (我们的研究结果表明,要减少旅游活动和船舶对南极洲的影响,仍需付出更多努力)”可知,现有的环保措施尚未有效遏制黑碳污染,需要更多的努力来解决这一问题。由此可知,作者们认为这些努力的效果仍然有限。故选A项。
D
Electric vehicles (EV) are a key component of the global shift toward sustainable energy, but a new study highlights a significant challenge: the refining (提纯) of critical minerals for EV batteries could lead to pollution hotspots near manufacturing centers.
The study reveals that fully domesticating the supply chains for EV production could drive national sulfur dioxide (SO₂) emissions up by as much as 20% compared to current levels. Most of these emissions would stem from the refining and production of nickel and cobalt (镍和钴), essential materials for modern EV batteries.
The researchers argued that if left unaddressed, pollution from battery manufacturing will become an increasingly global challenge as EV adoption rates rise. Even if some countries were to outsource battery manufacturing, without strategies to reduce SO₂ emissions, they would simply be offloading the problem to another country.
For countries like India who is in the early stages of supply chain development, the lowest-hanging fruit would be to focus first on cleaning up pollution from the power sector. This would require enforcing stricter SO₂ pollution control measures for thermal power plants, using mature technologies like flue-gas desulfurization. For others, which already have strict emissions controls for the power sector, the focus needs to shift to mitigating SO₂ emissions from the battery manufacturing process.
In addition to their policy recommendation for proactive air pollution standards, which would likely happen at the national or subnational level, the researchers also examined how changing the battery chemistry in EV could avoid unwanted SO₂ emissions at a more global scale. While most EV batteries today rely on cobalt and nickel, the rise of alternative chemistries that use iron and phosphate (磷酸铁锂电池) could circumvent some of the concerns associated with mining and refining nickel and cobalt.
In all events, the findings serve as a reminder to keep people at the top of mind when designing decarbonization plans, as even the most promising technologies could come with unwanted and unintended consequences.
32. Why does the author write the text?
A. To compare different types of EV batteries.
B. To warn about the pollution risk from EV batteries.
C. To call for global cooperation in EV development.
D. To explain why EV development has slowed down.
33. What would happen if EV battery manufacturing were fully domestic?
A. It would promote the national economy.
B. It would speed up EV battery production.
C. It would boost nickel and cobalt refining.
D. It would cause more domestic SO₂ emissions.
34. Why does the author mention India in the passage?
A. To criticize India's current emission control measures.
B. To suggest that developing countries face pollution risks.
C. To show that countries need tailored pollution strategies.
D. To illustrate India's progress in supply chain development.
35. How does the author feel about promising green technologies like EVs?
A. Cautiously optimistic about their future.
B Fully confident in their economic benefits.
C. Disappointed in their environmental impact.
D. Deeply alarmed by their potential side effects.
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. C 35. A

推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“In all events, the findings serve as a reminder to keep people at the top of mind when designing decarbonization plans, as even the most promising technologies could come with unwanted and unintended consequences.(无论如何,这些发现都提醒我们,在设计脱碳计划时,要把人放在首位,因为即使是最有前途技术也可能带来意想不到的后果)”可知,研究结果提醒人们,设计脱碳计划时需以人为先,以及前文“While most EV batteries today rely on cobalt and nickel, the rise of alternative chemistries that use iron and phosphate (磷酸铁锂电池) could circumvent some of the concerns associated with mining and refining nickel and cobalt.(虽然目前大多数电动汽车电池依赖于钴和镍,但使用铁和磷酸盐的替代化学物质的兴起可能会规避与开采和精炼镍和钴相关的一些担忧)”对替代电池技术的探讨。由此推知,作者对绿色技术持谨慎乐观态度,既认可潜力也关注潜在问题。故选A。
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,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。
Journalism is the gathering, organizing, and distribution (发行) of news through the wide variety of print and non-print media channels. ____36____ The earliest reference to a journalistic product comes from Rome circa 59 B. C., when news was recorded in a circular called the Acta Diurna.
It should come as no surprise that the earliest attempts to keep the public informed were met with government opposition in many cases. ____37____ Because of this, along with the introduction of technology that improved printing and circulation (流通), newspaper publications saw their numbers explode.
____38____ Its earliest form was such properly named periodicals (定期期刊) as the Tattler and Spectator. Both were initial attempts to marry articles of opinions with current events, and by the 1830s, magazines were common mass-circulated periodicals that appealed to a broader audience.
Time passed, and the cost of news gathering increased dramatically. Slowly, news agencies formed to replace independent publishers. However, the print media was soon about to face an entirely new form of news gathering — first, with the invention of the telegraph, then quickly followed by the radio, the television, and mass broadcasting. ____39____
Non-print media changed the dynamics of news gathering and reporting altogether. It sped up the whole process, making the news, itself, more timely and relevant. Soon, technology became an essential part of journalism, even if the ultimate product was in print form. Today, the Internet delivers breaking news to almost everyone globally at the same time. ____40____ It will likely be the standard for the future.
A. Journalism has a lot to do with technology.
B. It is not a recent phenomenon, by any means.
C. This has created a new model of journalism once again.
D. Each breakthrough in communication reshaped news sharing.
E. But knowledge among the population, as a whole, was growing.
F. Magazines became widespread soon after newspapers appeared.
G. It was an evolution of technology that seemed all but unavoidable.
【答案】36. B 37. E 38. F 39. D 40. C

【38题详解】

第二节 (共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
In the 1960s, Saihanba faced extreme conditions: freezing cold, strong winds, desertification, and little rainfall. Heavy snow often isolated the area, leaving builders ___56___ (lack) basic necessities like food and housing.
Yet it was in these challenges that the inspiring story “Six Girls Going to Saihanba”___57___ (spring)from the first generation of builders. Chen Yanxian and five classmates, ___58___ (inspire) by national role models, gave up college dreams to work there. Their choice was clear: pursue ___59___ (high) education in cities or devote themselves to reclaiming the wilderness-they chose the latter. Their determination led to ___60___ green miracle: turning deserts into forests. Now in her 80s, Chen still vividly remembers planting small trees, which ___61___ (grow) into towering ones.
The first generation faced harsh conditions ___62___ regret. Families also contributed — couples lived in the remote watchtowers for months every year, and used binoculars (双筒望远镜) ___63___ ( prevent) fires. Thanks to their efforts, Saihanba’s forests remained fire-free for over 50 years.
Later generations continued the spirit, among ___64___ was Yu Shitao. His decision to stay after graduating in 2005 came with initial struggles.

57. sprang 58. inspired
59. higher 60. a

64. whom 65. improvement
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了塞罕坝三代人克服恶劣条件,植树造林,将荒漠变森林的奋斗历程。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:大雪经常封锁这个地区,使建设者缺乏基本的生活必需品,如食物和住房。空处作宾语补足语,lack与逻辑主语builders之间是主动关系,应用现在分词形式作宾语补足语,故填lacking。
【57题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:然而,正是在这些挑战中,鼓舞人心的故事“六女上坝”源于第一代建设者。根据句中was可知,句子描述过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时,spring在此处意为“起源于”,其过去式形式为sprang,故填sprang。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:陈彦娴和她的五个同学,受到全国模范的鼓舞,放弃了上大学的梦想,来到这里工作。句中已有谓语gave up,此处应用非谓语动词形式,Chen Yanxian and five classmates与inspire之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词形式表示被动意义,故填inspired。
【59题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:她们的选择很明确:在城市接受高等教育,还是投身于开垦荒野——她们选择了后者。根据education in cities以及常识可知,此处指在城市接受高等教育,应用high的比较级形式higher,作定语修饰名词education,故填higher。
【60题详解】
考查冠词。句意:她们的决心造就了一个绿色奇迹:把沙漠变成了森林。miracle“奇迹”是可数名词,此处泛指“一个绿色奇迹”,green是以辅音音素开头的单词,前边应用不定冠词a,故填a。
【61题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:现在80多岁的陈仍然清楚地记得种植的小树,这些小树已经长成了参天大树。which引导的从句描述过去的动作对现在有影响,应用现在完成时,which指代的先行词small trees为复数,所以助动词用have,故填have grown。
【62题详解】
考查介词。句意:第一代人面临着恶劣的条件却没有遗憾。结合语意,此处表示“没有遗憾”,应用介词without,故填without。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:家庭也做出了贡献——夫妻每年在偏远的瞭望塔上住几个月,用双筒望远镜防止火灾。use sth. to do sth.是固定搭配,表示“用某物做某事”,所以此处用动词不定式形式,故填to prevent。
【64题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:后代延续了这种精神,于士涛就是其中之一。此处为“介词+关系代词”引导的非限制性定语从句,先行词为Later generations,指人,关系代词作介词among的宾语,应用whom,故填whom。
【65题详解】
考查名词。句意:他带领进行树木品种改良,并开发出适合塞罕坝的森林模式。根据空格前的tree variety可知,此处应用名词形式作宾语,improve的名词形式为improvement,此处表示“改良;改进”,是不可数概念,故填improvement。

67. 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。
I’m not known to be a particularly lucky person. Raffles (抽奖), t-shirt cannons, radio calls, random roommate selections — none of these ever seem to work out in my favor. But my fortune seemed to hit an all-time low last Monday.
The day started nice enough. I went to work, got off at five and decided to head to the beach. It was sweltering hot, and I knew the cool waters of Lake Michigan would help wash away my sweat. The first sign of trouble was when my cellphone navigation stopped working properly and showed the wrong directions. I was new to the area and didn’t quite know my way around yet, so I ended up taking a wrong turn and driving through a web of neighborhoods, turning a 10-minute drive into a 40-minute one.
But fine, I get lost often. I made it to the beach eventually. Took a quick dip in the water, had a bite of the butter paneer I had picked up earlier. I made it back to my car, pulling some clothes out to change into. As I headed to the restroom, I realized I had forgotten a shirt. So I walked back, tugged on the handle and realized with horror that my keys were sitting in the passenger seat of my car.
I called AAA (American Automobile Association). As it turns out, I don’t have an AAA membership. I called my parents and they anxiously tried to figure out how to add me to their card, while my phone battery was at 21% and dropping.
I called AAA again, and they informed me that they would be there in about an hour and a half, which seemed like a long time as I sat on top of the trunk of my car. The sun was lowering in the sky and the parking lot was emptying out. I heard thunder, and I saw people exiting the beach at an increasing rate. When I checked my weather app, I saw an alarming update: a heat advisory (预警), a 100% chance of a lightning storm, and a tornado warning.
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。
Fearful and alone, I stood frozen as thunder rolled closer.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The kind lady drove me through the pounding rain toward a nearby Starbucks.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Fearful and alone, I stood frozen as thunder rolled closer. The wind picked up, whipping sand against my legs, and raindrops began to fall down. Just as panic struck me, a silver sedan pulled up beside me. The window rolled down to reveal a middle-aged woman who had kind eyes. “You look like you could need some help,” she said, gesturing for me to get in. Without hesitation, I piled into her car, my relief drowning out the storm’s fury.
The kind lady drove me through the pounding rain toward a nearby Starbucks. She chatted calmly about the weather, her voice was steady in the chaos. Once inside, she bought me a hot coffee and insisted on waiting with me until AAA arrived. As we sat, the tornado alarm disappeared in the distance, but her presence turned the crisis into a strange, shared adventure. When the tow truck finally pulled up, she handed me her umbrella and smiled. “Good luck,” she said. “And maybe tomorrow will be your lucky day.” I watched her drive off, my heart oddly lighter—proof that even in misfortune, kindness could still shine through.

Blue Light Protection Guidelines
What is blue light?
When we look at digital screens, we expose ourselves to large amounts of blue light. This type of exposure isn’t as dangerous as the type of radiation we get from X-rays or ultraviolet light (紫外线), but studies have suggested too much exposure can lead to digital eye strain (疲劳) and retinal (视网膜) damage. In addition, blue light also affects sleep schedules.
What are blue light glasses?
Blue-light glasses work to reduce the intensity of short-wavelength light. They are marketed to help with eye strain by blocking blue light, thus improving sleep quality.
Do they work?
Will they improve your health? The answer is that we don’t know. The current research regarding the impact of blue light on our eyes, as well as the effectiveness of blue-light blocking glasses, has been generally inconclusive. One study suggests blue light glasses may help protect the retina from long-term blue light exposure. However, another study concludes there’s a “lack of high-quality evidence” to support their effectiveness in reducing eye strain, improving sleep quality, or preventing retinal damage.
Usage recommendations
Over-reliance on blue light glasses without breaks may worsen eye strain. Spending days glued to your computer can be hard on your well-being, so be sure to take regular breaks and take care of your health. Notes
If a pair is outside of your budget and you’ re looking for other ways to ease eye strain, try the 20-20-20rule: every 20 minutes spent on a screen, take a break to look at an object 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds.
21. What are blue-light glasses designed to do?
A. Block ultraviolet rays completely. B. Prevent long-term retinal damage.
C. Block blue light for eye comfort. D. Improve sleep quality dramatically.
22. How does the author think of the impact of blue-light glasses?
A. Supportive. B. Uncertain. C. Unconcerned. D. Enthusiastic.
23. What is the author’s main advice for reducing eye strain?
A. Wear blue-light glasses when using screens.
B. Avoid spending too much time on the computer.
C. Combine healthy screen habits with regular breaks.
D. Use the 20-20-20 rule instead of wearing glasses.
B
In a quiet corner of Lahore, Pakistan, stands a small barber shop called Hope & Scissors. It’s a modest place run by Adil Raza, a 42-year-old barber with a warm smile and a heart for his community. Adil offers free haircuts to children from low-income families-with one unique condition: they must read aloud to him. As a father, Adil knows how important reading is for young minds. “I have three children myself,” he says. “I just want kids to experience the power of reading.”
The idea began in 2021 at a local “Back to School” event organized by education volunteers. Adil had been invited to offer free grooming services, but he wanted to add something more. He set up a chair outside and began giving free haircuts to kids who read from storybooks. The idea caught on quickly. Encouraged by the response, Adil turned it into a monthly event at his shop. Soon, word spread across the city. Community members donated books, and a mobile library joined the effort. Local educator Imran Hussain, touched by the project, sent a box of children’s books from his school library.
Hussain, a teacher for over 20 years, praised the idea. “Reading often stops in the summer months. What Adil is doing keeps the habit alive. I haven’t seen anything quite like it.” One single mother of four said the free haircuts saved her money and got her children excited about reading. Ten-year-old Zain, holding his favorite book, said, “Reading feels like traveling with your mind.”
Adil hopes his “Reading Barber” concept will expand to other cities in Pakistan. He imagines barbers proudly displaying signs that say: We support reading here. Despite rising media attention, he remains modest. “When a community comes together, small ideas can grow,” he says.
Adil encourages others, “You don’t need a degree to help children read. Just a chair, a book, and a little time.”
24. Where did Adil first get the idea for his project?
A. From low-income families. B. From his three children.
C. From education volunteers. D. From a community event.
25. What is the purpose of paragraph 3?
A. To show how people were motivated. B. To present community responses.
C. To highlight mobile libraries’ role. D. To stress reading’s power for kids.
26. What is Adil’s long-term hope for his literacy project?
A. To provide free books for children in need.
B. To expand reading efforts to public spaces.
C. To inspire more barbershops to join the cause.
D. To attract more public attention to child literacy.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. A Barber’s Innovative Reading Project
B. From Free Haircuts to Reading Habits
C. How Reading Changed Children’s Lives
D. Free Haircuts Spark a Love of Reading

Each year, an estimated 53,000 tourists visit Antarctica, and they could each be unintentionally contributing to the melting of 83 tonnes of snow, according to a new study published in Nature Communications.
The culprit is black carbon, created when fossil (化石) fuels and biomass are burnt. Black carbon settles on the snow, causing it to darken in colour. This increases the absorption of heat from the sun and quickens melting.
Due to its remoteness, Antarctica has a low background level of black-carbon pollution compared to other parts of the world. However, the new study indicates that black carbon from Antarctic tourism and research activities has nevertheless had a notable effect on the icy landscape.
The international research team measured black carbon concentrations in snow collected from 28 sites along a 2,000-kilometre stretch of the northern Antarctic Peninsula. The researchers found that black carbon levels were higher near research facilities and landing sites for tourist ships than at more remote regions of the peninsula.
The study estimates that, in heavily impacted areas, black carbon pollution is causing snowpack to decrease by up to 23 millimetres each year. Altogether, an estimated 4.4 megatonnes per year of snow is melting more quickly in the summer due to the impacts of black carbon from tourism alone — translating to 83 tonnes per visitor. Although these figures are striking, the real impact could be more complex than the data suggest.
“It is likely that local emissions (排放) account for most of the black carbon content in samples collected around research facilities and popular shore tourist-landing sites,” the paper states.
Ships, aero planes, helicopters, generators and trucks are known sources of black carbon that can settle on snow. The study authors suggest that tourist cruises (巡航) and fuel-powered equipment at scientific research stations are likely the largest sources of black-carbon pollution in the study area. That’s despite efforts in recent years to reduce the environmental footprint of Antarctic tourism, such as switching to marine diesel (船用柴油) or deep cycle battery power.
“Our results show that more remains to be done to reduce the impacts of tourism and ships in Antarctica,” the authors write.
28. What does the underlined word “culprit” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Main cause. B. Harmful gas. C. Useful energy. D. Unexpected result.
29. How is black carbon produced in Antarctica?
A. From winds blowing in foreign dust.
B. From volcanic activities under the ice.
C. From natural changes in temperature.
D. From fuel use in tourism and research.
30. What do the figures in paragraph 5 most likely imply?
A. They exactly show each visitor’s carbon footprint.
B. The impact of human activity may be underestimated.
C. They suggest that Antarctica tourism should be banned.
D. The data may overstate the snowpack melting problem.
31. What do the authors think of current environmental efforts in Antarctica?
A. They still show limited effect. B. They paint a rosy picture.
C. They are a drop in the bucket. D. They boost Antarctica tourism.
D
Electric vehicles (EV) are a key component of the global shift toward sustainable energy, but a new study highlights a significant challenge: the refining (提纯) of critical minerals for EV batteries could lead to pollution hotspots near manufacturing centers.
The study reveals that fully domesticating the supply chains for EV production could drive national sulfur dioxide (SO₂) emissions up by as much as 20% compared to current levels. Most of these emissions would stem from the refining and production of nickel and cobalt (镍和钴) essential materials for modern EV batteries.
The researchers argued that if left unaddressed, pollution from battery manufacturing will become an increasingly global challenge as EV adoption rates rise. Even if some countries were to outsource battery manufacturing, without strategies to reduce SO₂ emissions, they would simply be offloading the problem to another country.
For countries like India who is in the early stages of supply chain development, the lowest-hanging fruit would be to focus first on cleaning up pollution from the power sector. This would require enforcing stricter SO₂ pollution control measures for thermal power plants, using mature technologies like flue-gas desulfurization. For others, which already have strict emissions controls for the power sector, the focus needs to shift to mitigating SO₂ emissions from the battery manufacturing process.
In addition to their policy recommendation for proactive air pollution standards, which would likely happen at the national or subnational level, the researchers also examined how changing the battery chemistry in EV could avoid unwanted SO₂ emissions at a more global scale. While most EV batteries today rely on cobalt and nickel, the rise of alternative chemistries that use iron and phosphate (磷酸铁锂电池) could circumvent some of the concerns associated with mining and refining nickel and cobalt.
In all events, the findings serve as a reminder to keep people at the top of mind when designing decarbonization plans, as even the most promising technologies could come with unwanted and unintended consequences.
32. Why does the author write the text?
A. To compare different types of EV batteries.
B. To warn about the pollution risk from EV batteries.
C To call for global cooperation in EV development.
D. To explain why EV development has slowed down.
33. What would happen if EV battery manufacturing were fully domestic?
A. It would promote the national economy.
B. It would speed up EV battery production.
C. It would boost nickel and cobalt refining.
D. It would cause more domestic SO₂ emissions.
34. Why does the author mention India in the passage?
A. To criticize India's current emission control measures.
B. To suggest that developing countries face pollution risks.
C. To show that countries need tailored pollution strategies.
D. To illustrate India's progress in supply chain development.
35. How does the author feel about promising green technologies like EVs?
A. Cautiously optimistic about their future.
B. Fully confident in their economic benefits.
C. Disappointed in their environmental impact.
D. Deeply alarmed by their potential side effects.

Journalism is the gathering, organizing, and distribution (发行) of news through the wide variety of print and non-print media channels. ____36____ The earliest reference to a journalistic product comes from Rome circa 59 B. C., when news was recorded in a circular called the Acta Diurna.
It should come as no surprise that the earliest attempts to keep the public informed were met with government opposition in many cases. ____37____ Because of this, along with the introduction of technology that improved printing and circulation (流通), newspaper publications saw their numbers explode.
____38____ Its earliest form was such properly named periodicals (定期期刊) as the Tattler and Spectator. Both were initial attempts to marry articles of opinions with current events, and by the 1830s, magazines were common mass-circulated periodicals that appealed to a broader audience.
Time passed, and the cost of news gathering increased dramatically. Slowly, news agencies formed to replace independent publishers. However, the print media was soon about to face an entirely new form of news gathering — first, with the invention of the telegraph, then quickly followed by the radio, the television, and mass broadcasting. ____39____
Non-print media changed the dynamics of news gathering and reporting altogether. It sped up the whole process, making the news, itself, more timely and relevant. Soon, technology became an essential part of journalism, even if the ultimate product was in print form. Today, the Internet delivers breaking news to almost everyone globally at the same time. ____40____ It will likely be the standard for the future.
A. Journalism has a lot to do with technology.
B. It is not a recent phenomenon, by any means.
C. This has created a new model of journalism once again.
D. Each breakthrough in communication reshaped news sharing.
E. But knowledge among the population, as a whole, was growing.
F. Magazines became widespread soon after newspapers appeared.
G. It was an evolution of technology that seemed all but unavoidable.

67. 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。
I’m not known to be a particularly lucky person. Raffles (抽奖), t-shirt cannons, radio calls, random roommate selections — none of these ever seem to work out in my favor. But my fortune seemed to hit an all-time low last Monday.
The day started nice enough. I went to work, got off at five and decided to head to the beach. It was sweltering hot, and I knew the cool waters of Lake Michigan would help wash away my sweat. The first sign of trouble was when my cellphone navigation stopped working properly and showed the wrong directions. I was new to the area and didn’t quite know my way around yet, so I ended up taking a wrong turn and driving through a web of neighborhoods, turning a 10-minute drive into a 40-minute one.
But fine, I get lost often. I made it to the beach eventually. Took a quick dip in the water, had a bite of the butter paneer I had picked up earlier. I made it back to my car, pulling some clothes out to change into. As I headed to the restroom, I realized I had forgotten a shirt. So I walked back, tugged on the handle and realized with horror that my keys were sitting in the passenger seat of my car.
I called AAA (American Automobile Association). As it turns out I don’t have an AAA membership. I called my parents and they anxiously tried to figure out how to add me to their card, while my phone battery was at 21% and dropping.
I called AAA again, and they informed me that they would be there in about an hour and a half, which seemed like a long time as I sat on top of the trunk of my car. The sun was lowering in the sky and the parking lot was emptying out. I heard thunder, and I saw people exiting the beach at an increasing rate. When I checked my weather app, I saw an alarming update: a heat advisory (预警), a 100% chance of a lightning storm, and a tornado warning.
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。
Fearful and alone, I stood frozen as thunder rolled closer.
