What is a GPA?
A GPA, or Grade Point Average, typically ranging from one to four, is a number reflecting your course performance on average. It’s used by universities to determine whether students meet academic standards and by students to enhance job prospects or secure admission into post-graduate programs.
How to calculate a GPA?
● Determine the letter grade and the number of credit hours for each course you take in a term;
● Translate the letter grade to grade points using your school’s grading system;
● Multiply the grade points by the credit hours for that course;
● Add up all the credit hours for the courses;
● Divide the total number of grade points by the total credit hours and you get the GPA.

The path to turning a hobby into something meaningful isn’t smooth. 17-year-old Wesley Finn from a small Oregon town knows this well.
Since age 12, he’s loved taking apart old toys and rebuilding them—from broken RC cars to old alarm clocks. He’d spend hours figuring out how cogs(齿轮)fit and why batteries power motors, and by high school, he made simple devices for his family, like a night-light phone stand. Last year, when he heard about the State High School Robotics Design Competition—where students build robots to do practical tasks, like moving small objects and avoiding barriers—he knew he had to join.
But two weeks before the competition, a major issue arose: The robot’s primary sensor, essential for detecting barriers, broke. Unable to afford a replacement, Wesley sought help from Mr. Torres, his robotics teacher. Rather than buying new parts, Torres suggested reusing sensors from old robots. Over the next ten days, Wesley worked tirelessly after school, taking apart an older robot, adapting its sensor, and reprogramming it for better response. He also integrated his homework—applying math to calculate speed and physics to improve balance—ensuring his robot could function smoothly.
On competition day, Wesley faced a difficult task: Robots had to move three blocks between tables while avoiding barriers. At first, his robot had trouble—the old sensor was too slow and almost hit the barriers twice. Remembering Torres’ advice, he quickly used his laptop, adjusted the code to cut the sensor’s response time by half, and restarted the robot. This time, it moved around the barriers smoothly, picked up all the blocks, and placed them exactly where needed.
Wesley didn’t win first—he got second—but the experience mattered more than a prize. Judges were deeply impressed by what he did that day. They invited him to a State Robotics Lab summer program, where he’ll work with engineers on robots for people with disabilities.
4. What can be learned about Wesley from paragraph 2?
A. He showed early technical interest. B. He won a robotics competition.
C. He taught himself advanced physics. D. He preferred theory to practice.
5. What advantage did Wesley demonstrate when improving his robot?
A. He learnt from partners quickly. B. He combined different subjects well.
C. He was expert at mechanical repair. D. He invented new types of sensors.
6. What made Wesley gain the invitation to the summer program?
A. His final competition ranking. B. His teacher’s strong recommendation.
C. His advanced robotic design. D. His on-site creative solutions to problems.
7. Which word best describes Wesley?
A. Considerate. B. Organized. C. Humble. D. Determined.
C
AUSTRALIAN adults want to see “life skills” introduced into school curriculums, including money management, job preparation and domestic tasks. New research from Monash University showed Aussie adults also widely supported the inclusion of technology, coding and artificial intelligence subjects to student curriculums to prepare them for future jobs.
Co-author Professor Neil Selwyn, from Monash’s new Education Futures think tank, said the survey results of more than 2,000 Australians had taken himself and Dr Deana Leahy by surprise. “The life skills — I wasn’t expecting that at all,” he said. Those quizzed were asked to rate the value of a list of subjects already in the curriculum, but were also given an open space to write what they think should be included. Prof. Selwyn said people called for schools to teach financial skills, budgeting, cooking and doing taxes. “You could argue that these are things people should be learning themselves, or learning from their families,” Prof. Selwyn said. “But we’ve got to be thinking forward in terms of the skills people will need for jobs and their ways of living.”
One respondent said schools should introduce a “contemporary life skills” subject: “a compulsory 1-hour a week class on skills needed that parents seem continually unable to teach their kids.” Suggestions for the class included résumé writing, filing tax returns and health claims. Another respondent called for students to be taught “general life skills as unfortunately not enough kids will have parents to actually be bothered to educate them or simply parents don’t know themselves”.
Of the subjects, maths was the highest ranked (75.5 percent), followed closely by English (74.8 percent). And while science was the third highest ranked subject (46.2 percent), it was more strongly supported by those who earned higher wages and were university educated compared to lower income earners.
Aspects of school life considered least important were students having fun, learning about things that interested them and being given the opportunity to be creative.
8. Why did the adults suggest adding “life skills” to school curriculums?
A. To vary school curriculums. B. To enrich students’ school life.
C. To prepare students for future work and life. D. To save parents the trouble of educating kids.
9. What did Prof. Selwyn think of the adults’ suggestions?
A. Surprising. B. Ridiculous. C. Interesting. D. Impractical.
10. What does Paragraph 3 focus on?
A. Differences of school subjects. B. Opinions from the surveyed.
C. Reasons for the school survey. D. Investigations of the respondents.
11. What does the public support for science suggest?
A. It is less vital than maths. B. It is mainly for the wealthy.
C. It is losing its popularity. D. Its value is viewed differently.
D
Uncertainty pops up frequently in conversations. The pandemic, and the growing climate disasters heighten our awareness of our inability to control many current challenges. No wonder we are invaded by anxiety and isolation. We know there are stress-reduction techniques like yoga. Another much-overlooked one that restores a sense of well-being is poetry.
Poetry reconnects us with the beauty of the world, while also naming its difficulties. Rather than trivializing a difficult situation, poetry reminds us that others have also lost a loved one, experienced disappointments — have suffered as we now suffer. Poetry allows us to identify our personal confusions, breaks our feeling of isolation, and confirms our sense of belonging. Poetry leads us toward wisdom and acceptance.
Science agrees. Studies show that poetry is good for our health. A study from 2013 in the Philippines showed that guided poetry writing sessions significantly lessened depression in a group of mistreated adolescents. Written eight hundred years ago, the poem The Guest House invites us to view life’s experiences and the feelings that arise from them as temporary visitors in the “guest house” of self. With patience and compassion (慈悲心), the author Rumi advises us to recognize that even negative moods are precious teachers for our growth.
Think of poetry as an entrance to a timeless place where we find comfort, companionship, connection, wisdom, and healing. Poetry also highlights where we feel disconnected, where we have gone blind to threats and personal sorrows that threaten to overwhelm us. With its precision of language, and its naming of experience, poetry, in a small space, usually one page, has a powerful effect. Entering a poem, readers can sense painful experiences are reframed and can be given a new understanding by a poem. That’s because poetry reflects a rich mix of the sweetness and bitterness in life. It refreshes our minds and offers invented landscapes of imagery. For your own peace of mind, I encourage you to take up a friendship with poetry.
12. What does the underlined word “trivializing” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Causing. B. Dismissing. C. Experiencing. D. Praising.
13. What do the examples in paragraph 3 suggest about difficult experiences?
A. Writing poetry is better than reading it.
B. Depression can be easily cured by poems.
C. Ancient wisdom is better than modern science.
D. Difficult experiences can be a source of growth.
14. How does poetry affect readers according to the last paragraph?
A. Through its imagined landscapes. B. By focusing only on life’s sweet aspects.
C. Through its precise expression. D. By using abstract language.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Poetry Develops with Technology. B. Poetry Pushes Friendship.
C. Poetry Varies in Style. D. Poetry Promotes Our Sense of Well-being.

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。
Oceans are an appealing target for renewable energy production. Waves produce 32,000 terawatt-hours of natural energy per year — by comparison, the entire world uses around 23,000 terawatt-hours of energy every year.
The advantages of wave power are clear. ___16___ Turbines produce electricity through the power of waves, making them a completely pollution-free, renewable energy source. And the amount of kinetic energy in a wave is so huge that the energy is used to produce electricity. There is also a lot of potential because many countries have access to an ocean that can help power their electricity system. Also, waves are hardly interrupted and almost always on the move. ___17___
But the disadvantages of wave energy are serious too. Building factories or installing electrical wires directly on the beach might prove challenging. ___18___ Local fishing zones could be affected or the factories could lead to more coastal erosion. High costs are a problem too. Wave power is a rising energy technology in the early stages of development, so calculating the costs is difficult. ___19___ Because constant movement can lead to more damage, wave energy factories will most likely need regular and costly maintenance.
___20___ For many ocean-bordering countries, wave energy will be a great addition to the renewable energy mix. The bottom line is that wave power has enormous global potential. However, the industry needs more funding and research to finalize the technologies involved so that countries can begin adding wave energy to their renewable energy source list.
A. Wave energy still needs to be explored.
B. They are not affordable to many countries.
C. Despite the challenges, there is a future of wave energy.
D. Wave energy does not give off greenhouse gases when produced.
E. They can cause damage to sea life and the surrounding ecosystems.
F. Maintenance of the factories in moving saltwater is very expensive.
G. This makes electricity from wave energy a more reliable energy source.

Science fiction, or sci-fi, has long been a window to worlds beyond our wildest imaginations. It doesn’t just tell stories — it makes us question and dream. It even ____21____ the future for us. My love for sci-fi started with an old novel my grandfather gave me when I was 12. The book, ____22____ on a distant planet, followed a group of explorers searching for a new home for humanity.

It’s like these stories plant ____27____ in our minds, making us wonder: “What if we could turn this fantasy into reality?”
Last year, I joined a school science fiction club. Once, we debated whether time travel would be a ____28____ or a disaster. The debate got so lively, with opinions divided, that we ____29____ time — funny, just think about the topic
What I love most about sci-fi is its ability to bring people together. We all ____30____ a curiosity about what lies ahead. Sci-fi reminds us that the future isn’t something that just happens — it’s something we can ____31____, one idea at a time. It encourages us to ____32____ the present, challenge what we know, and believe that anything is ____33____ if we dare to imagine it.
Every time I pick up a sci-fi book or watch a sci-fi film, I feel that same excitement I did at 12. It’s a(n) ____34____ that curiosity is a superpower, and that the best adventures are the ones that make us think differently about the world — and our ____35____ in it.

47. 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。
My husband and I enjoy seeing life through the eyes of our children. It’s amazing to watch as they discover their world.
While we were outdoors last summer enjoying the sunshine, our oldest daughter, Kaytlin, called me to the doorway. Beneath the steps was a baby red squirrel.
We watched it from a distance, not wanting to disturb it or scare off its mother. But after a long wait—and looking all around our house for signs of a nest or a mother—we realized the tiny squirrel was lost.
Shaking terribly, he was weak, thin, and hungry. We tried to find an expert to help, but the Inland Fisheries and Wildlife website showed that there were no wildlife experts in our area. After some quick research, we concluded that the best way to give the squirrel a fighting chance was to care for him ourselves. So a trip to the local store for milk and supplies was in order. More research taught us how much to feed him, how to estimate his age, how and when to wean (断奶) him, and that we should let him go as soon as he could survive on his own.
Our daughters and I took turns in feeding “Squirt.” Kaytlin took on the most responsibility. She taught him to eat from a bottle, and she woke in the night for his feeds.
To our relief, Squirt soon became healthy and strong. Within a few weeks he became more active. He would chatter (吱吱叫) for his next meal, playfully go around the girls, and lie down on them for sleep. It wasn’t long before he was weaned onto solid food and reintroduced to the wild.
His first few visits to the great outdoors were funny. Just like a child, he would play in the grass some and then run back to Kaytlin for safety. Soon she had him climbing trees and finding nest material.
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。
One day in the trees, Squirt met up with a family of gray squirrels.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
One night, Squirt didn’t come back to our house and it rained hard.

The path to turning a hobby into something meaningful isn’t smooth. 17-year-old Wesley Finn from a small Oregon town knows this well.
Since age 12, he’s loved taking apart old toys and rebuilding them—from broken RC cars to old alarm clocks. He’d spend hours figuring out how cogs(齿轮)fit and why batteries power motors, and by high school, he made simple devices for his family, like a night-light phone stand. Last year, when he heard about the State High School Robotics Design Competition—where students build robots to do practical tasks, like moving small objects and avoiding barriers—he knew he had to join.
But two weeks before the competition, a major issue arose: The robot’s primary sensor, essential for detecting barriers, broke. Unable to afford a replacement, Wesley sought help from Mr. Torres, his robotics teacher. Rather than buying new parts, Torres suggested reusing sensors from old robots. Over the next ten days, Wesley worked tirelessly after school, taking apart an older robot, adapting its sensor, and reprogramming it for better response. He also integrated his homework—applying math to calculate speed and physics to improve balance—ensuring his robot could function smoothly.
On competition day, Wesley faced a difficult task: Robots had to move three blocks between tables while avoiding barriers. At first, his robot had trouble—the old sensor was too slow and almost hit the barriers twice. Remembering Torres’ advice, he quickly used his laptop, adjusted the code to cut the sensor’s response time by half, and restarted the robot. This time, it moved around the barriers smoothly, picked up all the blocks, and placed them exactly where needed.
Wesley didn’t win first—he got second—but the experience mattered more than a prize. Judges were deeply impressed by what he did that day. They invited him to a State Robotics Lab summer program, where he’ll work with engineers on robots for people with disabilities.
4. What can be learned about Wesley from paragraph 2?
A. He showed early technical interest. B. He won a robotics competition.
C. He taught himself advanced physics. D. He preferred theory to practice.
5. What advantage did Wesley demonstrate when improving his robot?
A. He learnt from partners quickly. B. He combined different subjects well.
C. He was expert at mechanical repair. D. He invented new types of sensors.
6. What made Wesley gain the invitation to the summer program?
A. His final competition ranking. B. His teacher’s strong recommendation.
C. His advanced robotic design. D. His on-site creative solutions to problems.
7. Which word best describes Wesley?

AUSTRALIAN adults want to see “life skills” introduced into school curriculums, including money management, job preparation and domestic tasks. New research from Monash University showed Aussie adults also widely supported the inclusion of technology, coding and artificial intelligence subjects to student curriculums to prepare them for future jobs.
Co-author Professor Neil Selwyn, from Monash’s new Education Futures think tank, said the survey results of more than 2,000 Australians had taken himself and Dr Deana Leahy by surprise. “The life skills — I wasn’t expecting that at all,” he said. Those quizzed were asked to rate the value of a list of subjects already in the curriculum, but were also given an open space to write what they think should be included. Prof. Selwyn said people called for schools to teach financial skills, budgeting, cooking and doing taxes. “You could argue that these are things people should be learning themselves, or learning from their families,” Prof. Selwyn said. “But we’ve got to be thinking forward in terms of the skills people will need for jobs and their ways of living.”
One respondent said schools should introduce a “contemporary life skills” subject: “a compulsory 1-hour a week class on skills needed that parents seem continually unable to teach their kids.” Suggestions for the class included résumé writing, filing tax returns and health claims. Another respondent called for students to be taught “general life skills as unfortunately not enough kids will have parents to actually be bothered to educate them or simply parents don’t know themselves”.
Of the subjects, maths was the highest ranked (75.5 percent), followed closely by English (74.8 percent). And while science was the third highest ranked subject (46.2 percent), it was more strongly supported by those who earned higher wages and were university educated compared to lower income earners.
Aspects of school life considered least important were students having fun, learning about things that interested them and being given the opportunity to be creative.
8. Why did the adults suggest adding “life skills” to school curriculums?
A. To vary school curriculums. B. To enrich students’ school life.
C. To prepare students for future work and life. D. To save parents the trouble of educating kids.
9. What did Prof. Selwyn think of the adults’ suggestions?
A. Surprising. B. Ridiculous. C. Interesting. D. Impractical.
10. What does Paragraph 3 focus on?
A. Differences of school subjects. B. Opinions from the surveyed.
C. Reasons for the school survey. D. Investigations of the respondents.
11. What does the public support for science suggest?
A. It is less vital than maths. B. It is mainly for the wealthy.
C. It is losing its popularity. D. Its value is viewed differently.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】

Uncertainty pops up frequently in conversations. The pandemic, and the growing climate disasters heighten our awareness of our inability to control many current challenges. No wonder we are invaded by anxiety and isolation. We know there are stress-reduction techniques like yoga. Another much-overlooked one that restores a sense of well-being is poetry.
Poetry reconnects us with the beauty of the world, while also naming its difficulties. Rather than trivializing a difficult situation, poetry reminds us that others have also lost a loved one, experienced disappointments — have suffered as we now suffer. Poetry allows us to identify our personal confusions, breaks our feeling of isolation, and confirms our sense of belonging. Poetry leads us toward wisdom and acceptance.
Science agrees. Studies show that poetry is good for our health. A study from 2013 in the Philippines showed that guided poetry writing sessions significantly lessened depression in a group of mistreated adolescents. Written eight hundred years ago, the poem The Guest House invites us to view life’s experiences and the feelings that arise from them as temporary visitors in the “guest house” of self. With patience and compassion (慈悲心), the author Rumi advises us to recognize that even negative moods are precious teachers for our growth.
Think of poetry as an entrance to a timeless place where we find comfort, companionship, connection, wisdom, and healing. Poetry also highlights where we feel disconnected, where we have gone blind to threats and personal sorrows that threaten to overwhelm us. With its precision of language, and its naming of experience, poetry, in a small space, usually one page, has a powerful effect. Entering a poem, readers can sense painful experiences are reframed and can be given a new understanding by a poem. That’s because poetry reflects a rich mix of the sweetness and bitterness in life. It refreshes our minds and offers invented landscapes of imagery. For your own peace of mind, I encourage you to take up a friendship with poetry.
12. What does the underlined word “trivializing” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Causing. B. Dismissing. C. Experiencing. D. Praising.
13. What do the examples in paragraph 3 suggest about difficult experiences?
A. Writing poetry is better than reading it.
B. Depression can be easily cured by poems.
C. Ancient wisdom is better than modern science.
D. Difficult experiences can be a source of growth.
14. How does poetry affect readers according to the last paragraph?
A. Through its imagined landscapes. B. By focusing only on life’s sweet aspects.
C. Through its precise expression. D. By using abstract language.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Poetry Develops with Technology. B. Poetry Pushes Friendship.
C. Poetry Varies in Style. D. Poetry Promotes Our Sense of Well-being.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. D

Oceans are an appealing target for renewable energy production. Waves produce 32,000 terawatt-hours of natural energy per year — by comparison, the entire world uses around 23,000 terawatt-hours of energy every year.
The advantages of wave power are clear. ___16___ Turbines produce electricity through the power of waves, making them a completely pollution-free, renewable energy source. And the amount of kinetic energy in a wave is so huge that the energy is used to produce electricity. There is also a lot of potential because many countries have access to an ocean that can help power their electricity system. Also, waves are hardly interrupted and almost always on the move. ___17___
But the disadvantages of wave energy are serious too. Building factories or installing electrical wires directly on the beach might prove challenging. ___18___ Local fishing zones could be affected or the factories could lead to more coastal erosion. High costs are a problem too. Wave power is a rising energy technology in the early stages of development, so calculating the costs is difficult. ___19___ Because constant movement can lead to more damage, wave energy factories will most likely need regular and costly maintenance.
___20___ For many ocean-bordering countries, wave energy will be a great addition to the renewable energy mix. The bottom line is that wave power has enormous global potential. However, the industry needs more funding and research to finalize the technologies involved so that countries can begin adding wave energy to their renewable energy source list.
A. Wave energy still needs to be explored.
B. They are not affordable to many countries.
C. Despite the challenges, there is a future of wave energy.
D. Wave energy does not give off greenhouse gases when produced.
E. They can cause damage to sea life and the surrounding ecosystems.
F. Maintenance of the factories in moving saltwater is very expensive.
G. This makes electricity from wave energy a more reliable energy source.

第二节(满分25分)
47. 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。
My husband and I enjoy seeing life through the eyes of our children. It’s amazing to watch as they discover their world.
While we were outdoors last summer enjoying the sunshine, our oldest daughter, Kaytlin, called me to the doorway. Beneath the steps was a baby red squirrel.
We watched it from a distance, not wanting to disturb it or scare off its mother. But after a long wait—and looking all around our house for signs of a nest or a mother—we realized the tiny squirrel was lost.
Shaking terribly, he was weak, thin, and hungry. We tried to find an expert to help, but the Inland Fisheries and Wildlife website showed that there were no wildlife experts in our area. After some quick research, we concluded that the best way to give the squirrel a fighting chance was to care for him ourselves. So a trip to the local store for milk and supplies was in order. More research taught us how much to feed him, how to estimate his age, how and when to wean (断奶) him, and that we should let him go as soon as he could survive on his own.
Our daughters and I took turns in feeding “Squirt.” Kaytlin took on the most responsibility. She taught him to eat from a bottle, and she woke in the night for his feeds.
To our relief, Squirt soon became healthy and strong. Within a few weeks he became more active. He would chatter (吱吱叫) for his next meal, playfully go around the girls, and lie down on them for sleep. It wasn’t long before he was weaned onto solid food and reintroduced to the wild.
His first few visits to the great outdoors were funny. Just like a child, he would play in the grass some and then run back to Kaytlin for safety. Soon she had him climbing trees and finding nest material.
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。
One day in the trees, Squirt met up with a family of gray squirrels.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
One night, Squirt didn’t come back to our house and it rained hard.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 One day in the trees, Squirt met up with a family of gray squirrels. But the family was none too happy about his visit. They scolded and swatted at him. At first Squirt was so unhappy that he avoided them. And then he quickly learned some social skills. He would take some snacks to meet them. For several days he played all day in the trees surrounding our house but came down at bedtime.
One night, Squirt didn’t come back to our house and it rained hard. Our girls fretted. They wanted to seek Squirt. We prevented them because it was too dangerous. But when the sun rose the next day, there was Squirt, begging for food. And that remained the pattern for weeks. The experience was entertaining and heartwarming for our family. In the wild and somewhat silly moments of raising an orphaned baby squirrel, our children learned to value and appreciate life.
