While touring Mississippi in an old car, John Ingall and his wife, Jane, discovered a plant that
would change their lives— the hardshell gourd (葫芦).
At first, it was mere curiosity, but soon, they saw gourds everywhere— carved, hanging, glowing
as lanterns. Drawn to them, John, a lifelong farmer, decided to try growing them.
Back in Warwickshire, he planted a few seeds among his tomatoes. The plants grew quickly,
reaching six feet tall. Weeks later, he found large gourds hidden among the leaves. Since then, he has
harvested about a hundred gourds each year, each with a different shape— some long and thin, others
round. Unexpectedly, Ingall had been trying to retire when he first discovered gourds. After managing
two farms— one from Jane’s family and another for growing crops— he had always planned to stop
working at 65. Unlike many farmers who never retire, he wanted to find a new interest.
Farming had been his childhood dream, despite his parents’ objections. They, shaped by the Great
Depression, had hoped he would take an office job. Yet, his love for rural life never faded. Over 45
years, he moved from dairy to beef, then organic farming, and finally letting the land return to nature.
Change, he welcomed— but only in a controlled manner.
Yet gourds pushed him beyond his comfort zone. “Not until I started working on them did I realize
— I am an artist!” said John. Now, as one of the few gourd artists in the U. K., he creates lanterns with
colored glass, astonishing visitors.
As well as selling gourds through his personal studio, John markets them at art fairs, donating
profits to fight the climate crisis. “It’s very satisfying. Gourds are an entirely sustainable material for
many types of art, and every gourd is unique,” he says. “I enjoy growing them. It’s amazing what you
can do with gourds.”
24.What motivated John to plant gourds?
A.His wife’s encouragement. B.His desire for a new interest.
C.His fascination with the plant. D.His longing for a big harvest.
25.What do we know about John?
A.He went against his parents will. B.He favored organic farming.
C.He had little interest in retiring. D.He resisted the life change.
26.What do gourds mean to John?
A.A bond with people. B.A passion of lifetime.
C.Ameans of earning money. D.A source of inspiration.
27.Which of the following can best describe John?
A.Humorous and caring. B.Talented and generous.
C.Committed and humble. D.Ambitious and sensitive.

Do teenagers need to relax? Increasingly not just parents are seeking a break from work and family
pressures but adolescents too, coping with “intense schooling and sports programmes”. So much so that
the Global Wellness Summit identifies teen wellness as a trend for 2025 with the industry focusing on
teenagers’ emotional intelligence, resilience, and how to survive in a digital world through resorts,
retreats, and mental wellness apps.
Rina Raphael, author of The Gospel of Wellness, tells me wellness— physical and mental health—
has replaced the once-dominant fashion and beauty industries. McKinsey reports that Gen Z outspends
older consumers on mindfulness-related wellness products such as meditation classes, mindfulness apps,
and therapy sessions, even seeking preventive solutions to ageing-related health issues.
One of the problems the wellness sector aims to address is mental health. Blame for the mental
health crisis has been laid on smartphones. But apps also offer a solution. Many, like Chill Panda and
HappiMe are on the UK’s CAMHS (child and adolescent mental health services) website and in
demand. A study in The Lancet concluded bans or restrictions at school don’t lead to “better mental
wellbeing in adolescents.” Parents have a role too. An intensive parenting often leaves children without
examples of parents socialising or pursuing passions.
There’s nothing bad about forming healthy habits. But is the wellness industry responding to— or
contributing to— the pressures young people face? Think about the new toy package Mattel released
five years ago: Wellness Barbie— a more glowing and relaxed version of Barbie and a product in
training children to become consumers of wellness. And those baby massage classes dressed up as a
wellbeing treatment to improve the infants’ mood and physical health struck me as ridiculous. What’s a
baby got to worry about?
The idea that experiences bought by parents and offered by the wellness industry solve adolescent
anxiety seems unpromising at best. As Raphael points out, the problem with wellness is “it’s very much
tied to productivity, aesthetics (美学) and consumerism. It adds a pressure that you have to be working
on yourself.” But I can’t see it ending. After all, as Ronald Purser, author of McMindfulness, told me:
“You can never be too well; that’s why it’s a massive growth industry”.

28.What could be counted as a wellness activity?
A.Aiming for top grades nonstop.
B.Practicing mindfulness using an app.
C.Checking social media for attention.
D.Skipping meals to manage body shape.
29.What is a possible reason for teen mental health issues?
A.A demand for services. B.A passion for sports.
C.A ban on mental health. D.A lack of role models.
30.What would Rina Raphael agree with most?
A.The fashion and beauty industries matter more to Gen Z.
B.Teenagers are pressured to consume wellness products.
C.Wellness Barbie assists children’s adaptation.
D.Baby massage classes are not effective as expected.
31.What’s author’s attitude towards the wellness industry?

Rise with the sun and rest at sunset— this was the way of life for our ancestors. Thanks to
artificial light, we can enjoy a much safer society and around-the-clock productivity. For wildlife,
however, studies have shown it disturbs animals’ natural sleep cycles, affects amphibian (两栖的 )
reproduction and throws migrating birds off course.
New research in Frontiers in Plant Science investigated how artificial light impacts plant-insect
relationships. Researchers from Chinese Academy of Sciences noticed tree leaves in cities typically
showed fewer signs of insect damage than those outside of cities, so they analyzed 5,500 leaf samples
from two tree species throughout Beijing. Researchers found more artificial light in a given area meant
tougher leaves. And the tougher the leaf, the less evidence of hungry insects. They don’t fully
understand why, but assume that trees under artificial light at night might be extending their
photosynthesis (光合作用) time.
“Plants distribute their limited resources, such as nutrients, water and energy, among various
functions like growth, reproduction and defense, depending on the environment. Light can affect how
plants use resources,” says Ellen Cieraad, a plant ecologist from New Zealand. “Since plants use light
for growth, artificial night light could be unnaturally increasing the time trees spend on photosynthesis,
allocating more resources to chemical compounds that make leaves tougher.”
“If the same applied to leaves of other species, this would be bad news for insects,” researchers
said. Changes in plants, and in interactions between plants and animals, can significantly impact the
entire urban ecosystem. Herbivorous insects, which rely on leaves for food, may struggle to survive,
disrupting the food chain and leading to declines in predators like birds, affecting biodiversity. Insects
also play vital roles as pollinators (传粉媒介) and eat decaying plants, helping to break down leaves
and returning nutrients to soil. In cities, healthy soil and healthy plant life supported by insects are good
for humans, as plants provide shade and reduce heat trapped in cities. Moving forward, researchers are
committed to refining their discovery, aiming to guide people to take corresponding actions.
32.What influence does artificial light bring according to the text?
A.It toughens tree leaves.
B.It shortens animals’ sleep hours.
C.It illuminates birds’ migrating routes.
D.It increases amphibian reproduction rates.
33.Why is Ellen Cieraad quoted in paragraph 3?
A.To raise a concern. B.To introduce a concept.
C.To support an assumption. D.To clarify a misunderstanding.
34.Which of the following best summarizes the phenomenon in paragraph 4?
A.Time heals all wounds. B.Nature always finds a way.
C.A chain is as strong as its weakest link. D.A small move may affect the bigger picture.
35.What will the following research probably focus on?
A.Helping insects adapt to city environments.
B.Figuring out approaches to enhancing soil quality.
C.Setting standards for city plants under artificial light.
D.Finding ways to reduce harm from nighttime light.

The Power of Poetry
People are suffering from depression and anxiety now more than ever. To help ease the pain, they
are turning to new approaches and, believe it or not, poetry is one of them.
It’s common sense that reading fiction can increase empathy (同理心). 1 Well, for
decades, scientific studies have proven that poetry has a beneficial impact in managing pain, handling
stress and improving personal well-being. Let’s dive a bit deeper, and consider some specific ways in
which poetry can help mental health.
Poetry can be a form of comfort. By reading poetry, we can get the escapism we long for,
transporting us out of our own world and into someone else’s. 2 Trying to uncover the
meaning of a poem can give us a necessary break from our inner monologue as well.
It can be a shared experience. Poems are often quite emotional in nature. 3 There’s
something quite comforting in the knowledge that we’re not alone and that our pain is shared with
someone else. Poetry often reveals that there is universality (普遍性) in the human experience.
4 Many poems creatively tackle some sensitive topics like depression, anxiety, abuse,
poverty, all of which can be found in a poetic form, empowering both the poet and the reader.
To put it lightly, life is tough, but it’s important to remember that we’re not alone. The next time
you’re feeling hopeless, try diving into the works of a poet. 5 Who knows?
A.However, how does it work?
B.But what’s so special about poetry?
C.As the saying goes, misery loves company.
D.Poetry can also be a platform for change and advocacy.
E.You might be inspired to write some poetry of your own.
F.Chances are that you will hear the love songs of the poet.
G.The repetition and rhyme found in it can relieve our pain.

Over five months, every interviewer 44 me: “80% of newcomers fail.” “You lack

After a long pause, he agreed — but on one 48 : “To proceed, you must immediately

Thangka painting, 56 unique form of religious art crafted on woven fabric, is often
referred to as a visual encyclopedia of Tibetan culture. Celebrated for its 57 (art) and cultural
significance, Thangka was officially designated as part of China’s intangible cultural heritage in 2006.
One of the leading institutions 58 (commit) to the preservation and development of this
ancient art is the Tibetan Academy of Thangka (TAT), which 59 (locate) in Lhasa.The academy
specializes in the Mansar School of Thangka painting, renowned for its intricate designs and vibrant
color schemes.
Visitors 60 the TAT can witness the entire creative journey of a Mansar School Thangka,
from the initial sketch to the final brushstroke. Creating a Thangka is a lengthy process that usually
takes six to seven years to master. Sketching is a fundamental skill in Thangka painting. “The key to
success lies in maintaining a steady hand. Simple 61 it may sound, it requires a substantial
amount of practice. Actually, I spent four years 62 (perfect) that skill,” explained Goinqogyai,
Vice President of the TAT.
In the past, Thangka art was traditionally passed down from father to son or from master to
apprentice, but exclusive to men only. However, this changed after the democratic reform in Xizang in
the 1950s. Today, there are many schools in the region 63 courses are offered to teach Thangka
art, and the proportion of female students is on the rise. “Among the 64 (graduate) last year,

After getting up late on a sleepy Sunday, I saw my dad at the kitchen table reading the Sunday
edition of the local newspaper. I made a quick sandwich and sat down next to him, asking him what
was new. He turned to me in low spirits and said the council was planning to tear down the community
garden nearby. He mentioned that he used to work on it with his dad, so the place had some childhood
memories for him.
He then put down the paper, walked over to the closet and after a bit of hunting, pulled out a thick,
black book. Inside, there were several old photos. After thumbing through a few pages, my dad found
the one of him and his dad together at the community garden, just as he had said “Wow, your cheeks
were super rosy back then!” I said, astonished.
With nothing planned for the afternoon, my dad and I decided to take a trip over to the community
garden to see how it was doing these days. Not good, as it turned out. Soda cans, cigarette ends and
other garbage spread everywhere. Pots of soil were still there, but the few plants that remained were
either dead or dying.
We looked at each other and knew what we had to do. After gathering some tools and garbage
bags, we went straight to clean up the place. I phoned some of my school friends, and soon a half-dozen
people were collecting garbage and sweeping paths. Someone had even brought bags of fresh seeds and
soil along with new flowers, so we uprooted the old dead plants and flowers and planted new ones.
After a few hours, the community garden looked totally transformed. Despite our hard work, there
was still the matter of the coming council vote. We created a plan: to take photos of the garden and
spread the news about the vote. Using the photos, we would then collect signatures (签名 ) to show
continued local interest and then present them to the council.
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。

Good morning, everyone!
I’m Li Hua. On behalf of the would-be Senior 3 students, I feel honored to give a speech here.
Recently, many of us have been feeling stressed, struggling to keep up with the increasingly fast
pace of learning. So, what can we do?
As the old saying goes, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” Only by striking a
balance between study and rest can we ensure learning efficiency. What’s more, it is wise to turn to
our parents or teachers for practical guidance and timely comfort when necessary. Finally, take
action now. Every effort counts!
Hope my advice is beneficial to you. I believe with our persistence and effort, we will
absolutely overcome these difficulties. Thank you!
67. One possible version:
Later, we came to the council with the signatures. In the meeting room, we met several
council members who cared about the community garden. We presented our case for the garden,
along with the signatures, and showed the photos of the garden before and after our clean-up,
highlighting the positive changes we’d made. The signatures we collected demonstrated the strong
local support for preserving the garden. The council members listened carefully, and we could see
their expressions softening as they realized what this garden meant to the community. They held a
debate on whether to go through with the plan to preserve the garden.
Ultimately, we were pleased to see our efforts paid off. A few weeks later, we got the news
that the council had voted and decided to save the garden. My dad and I hugged each other tightly,
tears of joy in our eyes. It was a victory for everyone who had worked so hard to make a difference.
The garden became a place where people could come together and enjoy nature. It was a reminder
that even small actions could lead to big changes when people came together with a common goal.
We celebrated our success with a gathering at the garden, feeling proud of what we’d achieved.

(Text 1)
M: Come back next week and we’ll work on those arms and legs, and don’t forget to do those exercises
at home.
W: I feel so much better since I started coming to the gym. My husband and people at work have
noticed a difference.
(Text 2)
W: I have an appointment with Dr. Arnold at 11:00 a. m. I know I’m an hour early, but I am having
some pain.
M: OK, another doctor can see you in 10 minutes. Will you be OK until then?
W: I think so.
(Text 3)
W: That’s a big smile. You look like you’ve won a lot of money.
M: Better than that. I applied to the country’s top university and they said yes.
W: Well done. Let’s book a table at a restaurant to celebrate.
(Text 4)
M: After our conversation today, can you take a short survey about our bank service and your opinions
about us?
W: Not really. I only wanted to open an account for my salary to be paid into.
(Text 5)
W: Hi Carlo. What are you going to do for us now?
M: Well, Angela, I wrote this song when I’d just climbed a mountain and I saw such a beautiful view.

M: What do you think about online learning?
W: I think online learning is great. The thing I like best is that you don’t have to wait to go to class.
You can learn about something anytime you want.
M: Is the quality as good, though?
W: I think so. There are so many resources to help you. I think it’s very useful and convenient.
M: Is it good for learning languages?
W: Yes, you may even talk directly to a native speaker for speaking practice.
M: That sounds great, but what worries me most is that the courses would be much too expensive.
(Text 7)
W: My goodness, this is beautiful.
M: Wonderful, isn’t it? Most people don’t like it when it rains like this, but I do because you get natural
beauty like that.
W: I don’t mind a bit of rain, and it’s even better with the sun shining like this.
M: Yeah, sun and rain aren’t often out together, but when they are, it’s great. Having no wind is a bonus
as well. Windy days are just no fun at all. It ruins everything, and it makes cycling almost impossible.
W: Unless the wind is behind you.
M: Yes, that’s very true! Good point. Shall we walk over there?
W: No. I’m enjoying sitting here with my best friend in the world! Sometimes life is better when you
just sit back, relax and do nothing.
M: I couldn’t agree more. Just think, this seat is the same one we sat in all those years ago. We watched
the sleepy sun go down then as well. How long ago was that?
W: We were married 21 years ago.
M: Really? Wow! How time flies!

M: Do you sell oranges?
W: Normally, yes, but we haven’t had a delivery today. We have some nice pears, and strawberries are
fresh today.
M: It’s OK. I’ll take them. I want to make juice from them.
W: Oh yes, you can’t say no to the taste of fresh pear juice. Healthy as well.
M: I was hoping it might make me feel better. I haven’t been feeling well lately.
W: I’m sorry to hear that. What’s the problem?
M: I’m not sure. I merely don’t feel well.
W: Maybe you just need a good night’s sleep.
M: I don’t think so. I’m sleeping very well. I just don’t feel so good.
W: I’d go to hospital if I were you. You may be given something to stop it.
M: You’re probably right.
(Text 9)
W: Hi Colin. Where are you going?
M: Hi Janet. To the camera shop in town.
W: Which one?
M: It must have been a long time since you went to town. There’s only one camera shop these days.
W: Really?
M: Yes, the one on Dixon Street closed years ago. The one on Edgar Street survived until last year, and
the only one now is on Hatfield Street.
W: That’s a shame. I suppose cameras aren’t as popular these days. Nowadays you can take good
pictures with a phone, so suddenly everybody is a photographer.
M: Most camera shops can’t compete with Internet prices. In fact, the same is true for other shops.
W: What are you going to buy?
M: Some memory cards. There’s a sale on today.
W: Do you still take photographs professionally?
M: Sometimes people ask for pictures of their kids, but usually I just take pictures of plants and animals
for pleasure. I am doing a wedding on Saturday, though.

Good morning. I am Bradley, assistant to the director James. He is very busy at the moment preparing
for the next scene, so if you have any questions, come to me rather than him. Trust me, I’m much more
approachable. I believe for many of you this is the first time, so I’m going to give you a couple of tips
and then explain what today’s plan is. For background actors, you want to make it look like you are
talking and having a nice time, so smile. But, when you talk, you just have to move your lips. The
microphones on set are very sensitive, so don’t actually speak, just mouth the words. For this scene,
several of you will be sitting at tables as if you were in a restaurant. A few more of you will be standing
by the bar. We also need three actors to look like waiters, so you three — Jack, Luke, and David, can
you go to the costume department to get fitted for waiter uniforms? The rest of you, let’s go to the
make-up truck and get you all pretty.
