The show could take place in the school meeting hall where students will design and model clothes made entirely from recycled or repurposed materials, such as old clothes, plastic bags, or newspapers. Meanwhile, a panel of judges will be invited to evaluate the designs based on creativity, sustainability, and presentation, with prizes awarded to the most innovative entries. I’m convinced that the fashion show will inspire everyone to take action for a greener future. I hope all students will participate and make this event a success! Sincerely, Lihua 读后续写： Opening the door, I froze, finding it spotlessly clean. The crumpled papers were gone, my desk was neatly organized, and my bed was perfectly made. I stood there, stunned, my eyes scanning the room until they landed on a folded note on the desk. Picking it up, I instantly recognized the familiar handwriting: “Dear Karole, I’m sorry for being too critical of you and ignoring your feelings lately. I’m always here for you. Love, Mom.” A lump formed in my throat as I realized she had noticed my struggles, even when I thought no one cared. Mom’s note was more than an apology; it was a call for me to change. Taking a deep breath, I sat down at my desk and opened my math textbook, determined to try again. That evening, when Mom came home, I walked up to her and hugged her tightly, “I’m sorry too, Mom.” Tears welled in both our eyes as we began to bridge the distance between us. From that day forward, I tried to open up—to her, to myself, and to the challenges ahead. Together, we turned this messy chapter into a fresh start, one filled with understanding, growth, and love. 录音稿 Text 1 W: What do you think of yesterday's history lecture? I think it's informative. M: To be honest , listening to that lecture was like watching paint dry. You know, I'm not into history. W: Maybe you should look for some lectures on science instead. Text 2 W: New Chinese style dresses have become a hit. It's said that fashion designers find inspiration from ancient Chinese paintings. M: Yes. They apply the subjects and the color combinations of the paintings to the clothing design. Text 3 W: Hey, Sam. You look extremely happy today. Any good news? M: Hi, Tina. I just became an uncle. My sister gave birth to a baby girl. And I'm thinking of getting a nice baby blanket. W: That sounds like a wonderful idea! Text 4 W: I really had a good time at my sister's birthday party last night. I can't believe that she's 25 now. M: She's actually 8 years older than us, but she looks 4 or 5 years younger. Text 5 W: What a fantastic performance! Thank you for inviting me to the musical. It was even more enjoyable than a piano concert. M: I'm happy you enjoyed the show. The dancers’ performance was an absolute eye-opener for me. Text 6 M: Welcome. Are you looking for a bed? W: Yeah, I’ll get married in two months, so I'm here to get a new bed. M: Congratulations! W: Thank you. M: Then, are you interested in a specific style of bed, like modern or traditional? W: Yes. I'd like a king size bed with a modern look. M: I see. Do you have a preference for materials, like wood or metal? W: A bed made of wood would be ideal. M: Got it. Let me show you a couple of options. Text 7 W: Jordan, I've been thinking about buying my first car. Any advice? M: Sure, Taylor. The first thing to consider is what type of car you want an electric car or a gas car. W: I don't think batteries are safe, so I would only consider a gas car. M: I see. Are there any particular brands you like? W: No, I don't care about brands. I care about the price instead, I can't afford an expensive one. Can I consider a used car? M: Absolutely. A certified pre-owned car can be a great deal. Just make sure to get a complete check done by a trusted mechanic. Look for cars with a clean service history. W: Got it. Maybe I can have a test drive before making a decision. M: Exactly. Test drives allow you to get a feel for how the car handles. W: Thanks for the advice, Jordan. I feel a bit more confident about my car buying journey. Text 8 W: Mark, have you tried making any of those precooked meals at home? I've been curious about them. M: Yes, I've tried a few. They're pretty convenient. Everything is already prepared. You just follow the instructions, which saves a lot of time for those who can't spare the time to cook W: That's great for busy days. But are there any downsides? M: Well, the main disadvantage is that you don't have much control over the flavors. Sometimes the sauces can be a bit strong. Also, if you eat pre-made meals frequently, your wallet will take a hit. W: I've heard they can be a bit pricey. But I don't think they would be more expensive than restaurant food. Anyway, where did you buy precooked meal kits, from the Internet or in the grocery stores? M: From the Internet. I can share the links with you if you like. W: That couldn't be better. Text 9 M: Kelly, have you heard about the night tour of the Grand Underwater World? W: No. Please tell me something about it. M: People can spend the night there sleeping with sea life, like sea turtles, dolphins, corals and so on. According to the Grand Underwater World, sharks are the most popular among children. W: That sounds fantastic. I’d like to book a night tour. M: I was going to reserve a tour for this Saturday. But this week has been fully booked. Since you're interested, how about making a reservation together for next Saturday, that is, October 19th? W: That day is perfect for me. Well, do you know any other details of the night tour? M: Yes. People should arrive there no earlier than 6 :30 p. m. There's a speech about sea life. I tends at 8:00 p. m. Then, there's a big screen movie. People can sleep with sea life after finishing watching the movie around 10 :00 p. m. By the way, they offer midnight snacks and breakfast for the following day. W: Great! I’ll dig out my sleeping bag tonight. M: I was going to buy one online last night, but I chose to buy an air bed finally. It's more comfortable. W: Good choice. I'm really looking forward to the tour. Text 10 W: Are you a professional photographer or just a photography lover?

The fair has a section for digital works not typical at other fairs. The solo project section, Bawwaba, is worth seeing. Expo Chicago: Chicago, Aug. 25-27 Expo Chicago was established in 2012.

We were on a one-night trip, and what he brought for dinner was just rice. Literally nothing else. This was not because he was trying to pack as light as possible, nor was it because he was broke. I tried to convince him to at least add some soy sauce (酱油) to it. But no, Alex wasn’t having any of it. “I don’t need it,” he said simply. Now, if he was talking only about outdoors’ meals, I almost understood the reason. When you’re ravenous after a day of burning off calories walking or climbing or skiing in the mountains, how awesome do things taste! Just as the saying goes, hunger is the best sauce. And I agree. Absolutely. But there’s more to it than that. Last month, I went down the coast car camping with my family. One morning, my wife made a statement. “I don’t see the point,” she said. “It’s so much work, camping. But the views at home are better. The beds are more comfortable. It’s more peaceful. And at home, the food is better.” I’ll admit she’s right about the first three. But the food? We had a simple pasta one night, snags another, chicken curry the third, but they all tasted good. Better than at home. And it wasn’t simply that we were hungry; it was because we were camping. The real point I want to convey is that meals taste particularly good when I’m camping because it reminds me of things that are easily overlooked at home, where I can just go to the cupboard or the supermarket and grab whatever I feel like. When you’re camping, life is reduced to its essentials, and I’m reminded of how privileged most of us are to be dry, warm and fed. More importantly, I’m reminded that, sadly, not everyone is as fortunate as we are. And I’m reminded that, as a society, we should do better for them. 24. Why did Alex bring only rice for dinner on the trip? A. He didn’t like soy sauce. B. He preferred to travel light. C. He couldn’t afford a better meal. D. He thought simple food enough outdoors. 25. What does the underlined word “ravenous” in the third paragraph mean? A. Exhausted. B. Starving. C. Charming. D. Refreshed. 26. What makes the author sad in the last paragraph? A. Some people lack the basic necessities of life. B. Some people fail to appreciate what they have. C. People easily forget the beauty of simple things. D. People easily quit camping due to its discomfort. 27. What message does the author want to convey in the passage? A. Camping is a test of adaptability to challenges. B. Camping is a bonding experience for family. C. Camping is a reminder of our good life. D. Camping is a chance to enjoy a feast. C The flattened bodies of cockroaches (蟑螂) can get into places that no human can, without leaving a trace. They’ll eat just about anything, and they’re near indestructible. All these qualities make them the perfect choice for search-and-rescue operations. That’s why a team from a famous university in Asia decided that cyborg cockroaches would be a good idea. The concept involves combining the best of both worlds: the organic cockroach body, fine-tuned across millions of years of evolution to navigate small spaces and unfriendly environments, guided to a target destination by a few electronic pushes from a high-tech backpack. “The creation of a functioning robot on a small scale is challenging, we wanted to avoid this obstacle by keeping things simple,” explains the lead researcher Mochammad Ariyanto. “By simply attaching electronic devices to insects, we can avoid the finer details of robotics engineering and focus on achieving our goals.” Let’s be honest: even the most advanced robots are pretty junky when it comes to movement. There’s a level of detail to animal motion that our best auto robots haven’t even begun to crack. That becomes especially apparent when it comes to vertical (垂直的) navigation: many robots can easily be undone by a simple staircase. A cockroach, on the other hand, can climb walls, pass through pipes, and even tolerate low-oxygen environments. The authors hope to mount the cockroaches with sensors to guide them and these bug-bots could be used to inspect the dangerous ruins left in the wake of war and natural disaster, and even detect survivors and rescue workers in trouble. They can send back data on places unfit for humans: the narrow pipes of buildings, deep tunnels underground, and sensitive cultural heritage sites. “I believe our cyborg insects can achieve objectives with less effort and power than purely mechanical robots,” says Ariyanto, “Our autonomous bio-hybrid navigation system overcomes problems that have traditionally challenged robots, such as recovering from falling. This is what is needed for stepping outside the laboratory and into real-life scenarios like wilderness.” Of course, it’s unclear how the cockroaches feel about all this. 28.What is a cyborg cockroach? A. A robot designed to copy a cockroach B. A cockroach with enhanced genetic features C. A robot remotely controlled by a cockroach D. A cockroach equipped with an electronic device 29.What is a cockroach’s advantage over a robot? A. Flattened body. B. Indestructible quality C. Animal motion. D. Low-oxygen tolerance. 30.What are the bug-bots expected to do? A. Stop wars from happening. B. Inspect reasons for natural disasters. C. Solve problems facing robots in the lab. D. Send information from unfriendly places 31. What is the author’s tone like at the end of the text? A. Concerned B. Humorous. C. Optimistic. D. Critical. D Fueled by the enthusiasm of fans, many stars are emphasizing sustainability in their tours and live events. In many parts of the world, summer calendars are packed with music festivals. But on 25August, Act 1.5, one of such shows, tried to be something different. Advertised as a “climate action accelerator (加速器)”, it showed the cooperation between a band called Massive Attack and scientists at the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research at the University of Manchester, UK, to reduce carbon emissions in the live music industry. Such efforts are much needed. In 2010, researchers estimated that the UK music industry produced some 540,000 tons of greenhouse-gas emissions annually. Live music accounted for 74% of that. Those figures are likely to have risen. Many in the music industry are advocating ever more loudly on sustainability. Radiohead, Coldplay, and Billie Eilish are just some of the famous Western stars who have declared initiatives to make live events more sustainable. These initiatives have not always met with the approval of climate campaigners. One common criticism is that stars’ advocacy often focuses on the actions of individual fans. When it comes to high-energy aspects of touring, such as stage power requirements and artists’ travel, their preferred solution is often to find alternative ways to cancel out impact, rather than reducing emissions directly. However, it is heartening to see that some real change has already been achieved. In 2023, for the first time, the long-running Glastonbury Festival in the United Kingdom was powered only by fossil-fuel-free energy. In June 2024, Coldplay announced that direct emissions from its current world tour were almost 60% lower than those of its 2016-17 stadium tour. Historically, music has played a key part in social movements. The industry now has the chance to be a role model for real change. A 2022 report by researchers at the University of Glasgow, UK, found that music fans are more likely to care about climate change than non-music fans. So, the change will come when it is driven by those highest up in the music industry and backed by good science. 32.What makes the Act 1.5 music event special? A. Demonstrating a different musical style. B. Promoting the cooperation between bands. C. Funding scientific research on climate. D. Taking green actions based on science. 33. What is the purpose of listing data in the third paragraph? A. To highlight the UK music industry’s success. B. To indicate the challenges in the UK music industry. C. To criticize the rising costs of the UK music festivals D. To stress the emission impact of the UK music industry. 34. Why do climate campaigners sometimes disapprove of stars’ advocacy? A. It emphasizes reducing artists’ travel emission. B. It focuses on fans cutting down emissions. C. It prefers to use fossil-fuel-free energy. D. It ignores the action of individual fans. 35. What is the author’s attitude to the music industry addressing climate issues? A. Doubtful B. Negative. C. Positive. D. Critical. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 With travel on the rise, more families are planning to take their home life on the road, whether it’s for a weekend or a longer trip. Traveling with kids can be stressful—with all those suitcases and cries of “Are we there yet?” 36 Involving young children in planning a trip might sound silly, but it’s far more valuable than it seems. “You shouldn’t expect a 4-year-old to spend eight hours in museums,” says Waldon, a family travel expert. “It’s really smart for parents to think like their kid and realize, ‘ 37 ’” That attitude helps parents avoid terrible situations that may ruin the day. 38 If a little one is into dinosaurs, perhaps you’ll want to check out a city’s Natural History Museum. If they love animals, maybe there’s a way to include a visit to a farm or an aquarium. One of Waldon’s favourite ways to get younger kids excited about a trip is reading. “Books are perfect for little armchair travellers,” she says. “ 39 ” Before a recent trip to Puerto Rico, Waldon read her kids a book about a frog native to the island. Afterwards, her daughters got really excited to hear this little frog singing at night. People often think the trip is going to be one Instagram worthy moment after another, but that never happens. 40 When kids are involved, they can become invested in getting through those problems. They also learn to work things out together as a family. A. Most children really enjoy challenges. B. Actually, no family trip goes without problems. C. However, it can also be a highly rewarding activity. D. That way, we’re getting more of that local experience. E. This is a 30-minute max type opportunity for my child. F. They get the kids curious about the trip before leaving home. G. Parents can also play into their kids’ interests when planning a trip. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 In just a few weeks, the University of Northern Colorado will be filled with students eager to take on the new school year.

My freshman class had 790 students, and I didn’t recognize a single face from middle school. At home I was just as lonely. My older brother was a senior, consumed with future decisions about college or military life. My little brother didn’t want anything to do with me, “a girl.” My older sister was outgoing and never without her friends. They all fit in. Why couldn’t I? When I came home after another tough day, Mom was waiting. “Karole, your bedroom’s a disaster. Why can’t you keep it clean?” The last thing I needed was criticism from my mother. Clean your room. Finish your dinner. Wash the dishes. What had happened to the mother who used to sit beside me on the sofa, reading to me, loving me unconditionally? I didn’t bother trying to explain my pain. It was easier to sit with my tight-lipped moodiness, holed up in my bedroom every afternoon. Clearing off some space, I sat down at my desk and pulled out my math textbook. Once again, I struggled. My grades had slipped along with my confidence. I opened my notebook and started working out the first problem. Wrong again! I thought. “You can’t do anything right!” Frustrated, I tore out the page, balled it up and threw it at the wastebasket. The ball landed on the floor. I heard my mother’s voice in my head: “Why can’t you keep your room clean?” By the time I finished my homework, the floor was covered in crumpled (弄皱的) paper, reflecting my worthlessness. I hid the papers and my feelings under the bed. No one knew what I was really going through. Who would listen anyway? One day, I came home to an empty house. It was a relief not to be met with Mom’s latest complaint. In her eyes, nothing I did was ever right. With heavy steps, I made my way to my bedroom. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右: 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Opening the door, I froze, finding it spotlessly clean.
