The Future of Clean Energy in Homes
Heating, cooling, and powering homes contribute significantly to global CO₂ emissions. As nations strive to reduce their carbon footprints, residential energy use — responsible for nearly 20% of energy-related emissions — poses unique challenges. Below is the 2022 breakdown of household emissions by source.
ELECTRICITY 52%
HEATING 28%
COOLING 12%
APPLIANCES 6%
LIGHTING 2%
Clean energy solutions for homes must be affordable, efficient, and adaptable to diverse climates. While technologies vary, here are key innovations driving the shift toward sustainability.
HEAT PUMPS — Efficient Heating/Cooling
Replacing gas boilers, electric heat pumps transfer warmth from air or ground, cutting heating emissions by 50%. Hybrid models, hopefully, might be able to work in sub-zero temperatures in the near future.
SMART GRIDS (电网) — Dynamic Electricity Management
AI-powered grids optimize energy use, storing surplus solar power during peak hours and reducing reliance on fossil-fuel backups.
SOLAR PANELS — Rooftop Revolution
Solar energy is the most accessible renewable source for households. Advances in photovoltaic cells have cut costs by 80% since 2010, making them viable in numerous regions.
WIND TURBINES — Community Microgrids
Small-scale turbines (涡轮机) in windy areas can power neighborhoods, though land use debates persist. “The scale of this transition is staggering,” says Dr. Elena Torres, a climate scientist at MIT. Residential renewables like solar and heat pumps could meet 90% of global household demand by 2050 — but only if investments triple within this decade. Recent studies show that every $1 invested in green homes today saves $5 in future climate adaptation costs. This isn’t just an environmental imperative; it’s economically inevitable.
1. Which two categories combined account for over three-quarters of total household emissions?
A. Electricity and Heating. B. Heating and Cooling.
C. Appliances and Lighting. D. Cooling and Appliances.
2. Which technology is highlighted as cost-effective for diverse climates?
A. Heat pumps. B. Smart grids. C. Solar panels. D. Wind turbines.
3. What does Dr. Torres emphasize about the energy transition?
A. The dominance of gas boilers. B. The increase in solar efficiency.
C. The need for higher investment. D. The breakthrough in heat pump technology.

B
The unforgiving demands of the IB program became my reality on the third day of school with an overwhelming physics lab. My teacher’s claim that no one would score above 90% shook my confidence. This anxiety was intensified at home, where my father voiced his concerns over my flat SAT progress, a necessity for a celebrated university.
The final catalyst for my breakdown was an unexpected rejection from the Regional Red Cross Youth Council. As vice president of my school’s chapter, I had never considered this possibility. The Red Cross was my passion and what I relied on to set me apart from other applicants. This rejection made my future seem dim, and I broke like a rubber band stretched beyond its limit.
I found my mother, the woman who had sacrificed her own career and life for my opportunities, and poured out my fears. She listened attentively before drawing a circle on the tablecloth. “This is your time,” she began. “Eighty percent is schoolwork, ten percent the SAT, and ten percent extracurriculars.” She then looked at me with deep emotion and said, “But most importantly, at one hundred percent, is your mental health.”
“Nothing is more important than your health,” she continued. “We want you to have a good job so you’ll be less stressed. If this path makes you so unhappy, it isn’t worth it. If you’re happier flipping hamburgers, so be it.”
Her insight was a big relief. I realized a rubber band doesn’t have to keep stretching. A rubber band that wraps around your hair during the day and is allowed to rest on your nightstand at night won’t ever break.
Though my routine remained the same — studying hard and pursuing excellence — my perspective was forever changed. The fear of failure lost its power. I am still reaching for the moon, but I am no longer afraid. For I know that if I miss, I will land right in my mother’s arms.
4. What does the underlined word “catalyst” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Foundation. B. Solution. C. Symbol. D. Cause.
5. What does the author’s mother attach most importance to?
A. The author’s overall wellbeing. B. The sacrifice for her daughter.
C. The relief of the author’s stress. D. The author’s devotion to schoolwork.
6. What does the use of the “rubber band” try to illustrate?
A. A conflict with her father about goals.
B. A bond between the author and her mother.
C. A shift in the author’s outlook on pressure.
D. A link to the author’s academic performance.
7. What does the author mean by saying “reaching for the moon”?

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者因IB课程、SAT成绩及红十字会申请受挫而崩溃,在母亲开导下转变对压力的看法,重拾心态的故事。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“The final catalyst for my breakdown was an unexpected rejection from the Regional Red Cross Youth Council. As vice president of my school’s chapter, I had never considered this possibility. The Red Cross was my passion and what I relied on to set me apart from other applicants. This rejection made my future seem dim, and I broke like a rubber band stretched beyond its limit.(导致我崩溃的最后一个catalyst是地区红十字会青年理事会意外的拒绝。作为我校分会的副会长,我从未想过这种可能性。红十字会是我的热爱,也是我赖以区别于其他申请者的优势。这次拒绝让我的未来变得暗淡,我像一根被拉过极限的橡皮筋一样崩溃了。)”可知,红十字会的拒绝是让作者最终崩溃的又一个因素,故“catalyst”意为“原因,诱因”,与“Cause”含义相近。故选D项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“She then looked at me with deep emotion and said, “But most importantly, at one hundred percent, is your mental health.”(然后她深情地看着我说:“但最重要的是,这百分之百里,是你的心理健康。”)”以及第四段中的“Nothing is more important than your health,” she continued.(“没有什么比你的健康更重要,”她继续说道。)”可知,作者的母亲最重视的是作者的整体健康状况。故选A项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“This rejection made my future seem dim, and I broke like a rubber band stretched beyond its limit.(这次拒绝让我的未来变得暗淡,我像一根被拉过极限的橡皮筋一样崩溃了。)”以及第五段中的“Her insight was a big relief. I realized a rubber band doesn’t have to keep stretching. A rubber band that wraps around your hair during the day and is allowed to rest on your nightstand at night won’t ever break.(她的见解让我如释重负。我意识到橡皮筋不必一直拉伸。一根白天扎头发、晚上能放在床头柜上休息的橡皮筋永远不会断。)”可知,作者最初用“橡皮筋”比喻自己因压力崩溃,后来在母亲开导下,用“能休息的橡皮筋”比喻学会缓解压力,体现了作者对压力看法的转变。故选C项。
【7题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段中的“Though my routine remained the same — studying hard and pursuing excellence — my perspective was forever changed. The fear of failure lost its power. I am still reaching for the moon, but I am no longer afraid. For I know that if I miss, I will land right in my mother’s arms.(虽然我的日常没有改变——努力学习、追求卓越——但我的观念已经永远改变了。对失败的恐惧失去了力量。我仍然在reaching for the moon,但我不再害怕了。因为我知道,如果我没做到,我会正好落在妈妈的怀里。)”可知,作者依然保持努力学习、追求卓越的状态,只是不再害怕失败,故“reaching for the moon”指“继续树立高远目标并为之努力”,即“aim high”。故选B项。
C
New era requires a new vocabulary. Will we still talk about the “mobile” phone when all phones are mobile, or when they are implanted within us?
Technology is everywhere nowadays, especially at work. Some people are really good at using all the cool new tools that keep popping up. They have something called a TQ, or technology quotient. Think of it like a superpower for understanding the latest tech stuff that our great-grandparents would have found really impossible. Having a high TQ means you’re awesome at using all the cool new things that not everyone knows about yet.
The examples are common and becoming more and more frequent. For the parent it might be a home-school video class. For the brand manager it might be search engine boosting. And for the clinician, it might be the role of artificial intelligence in supporting the analysis of a CT scan. TQ attempts to quantify our ability to make sensible use of current technologies and to quickly adapt, embrace and capitalize on future creations. This adoption is critical from a variety of perspectives, from social to business. One trip into the world of ChatGPT and we can see how the dynamics of AI and search are changing for just about everyone.
Any Mom or Dad can understand the value of IQ and EQ in projecting the potential for a child’s success. But what about technology? The ability for the child and the teacher to understand, embrace and assimilate technology will be a defining aspect of their lives as we speed into the future. We are increasingly defined by technology and our active participation in everything from smart phones to Facebook. It might just be time for the basic human needs of food, water and shelter to incorporate technology too. And when that happens, it just might be a good idea to measure it.
While this shift brings challenges, it’s unstoppable. As TQ rises, it will combine with IQ and EQ, reshaping how we live, work, and learn — turning adaptability with tech into a measurable edge.
8. What is TQ according to the text?
A. Speed of learning new languages. B. Skill of fixing high-tech products.
C. Talent to follow modern changes. D. Ability to apply new technologies.
9. Which of the following people has a high TQ?
A. A manager who often uses modern search engines.
B. A doctor who analyzes CT scans with AI assistance.
C. A grandparent who finds new tech devices awkward.
D. A mom who watches videos of her child’s school life.
10 What does the underlined word “assimilate” in the fourth paragraph mean?
A. Rely on. B. Take in. C. Benefit from. D. Learn about.
11. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. Why Are IQ and EQ Important for TQ? B. How Has TQ Changed in the Modern Era?
C. What Makes TQ the New Intelligence? D. Where to Start Adapting to TQ Changes?
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了TQ的概念及其重要性和发展趋势。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“They have something called a TQ, or technology quotient. Think of it like a superpower for understanding the latest tech stuff that our great-grandparents would have found really impossible. Having a high TQ means you’re awesome at using all the cool new things that not everyone knows about yet.(他们有一种叫做TQ,即科技商数的东西。把它想象成一种理解最新科技事物的超能力,我们的曾祖父母会觉得这真的不可能。拥有高TQ意味着你很擅长使用所有那些还不为人知的酷炫新事物。)”以及第三段“TQ attempts to quantify our ability to make sensible use of current technologies and to quickly adapt, embrace and capitalize on future creations.(TQ试图量化我们合理利用当前技术以及快速适应、接受和利用未来创造的能力。)”可知,TQ指的是应用新技术的能力。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“And for the clinician, it might be the role of artificial intelligence in supporting the analysis of a CT scan. TQ attempts to quantify our ability to make sensible use of current technologies and to quickly adapt, embrace and capitalize on future creations.(对于临床医生来说,这可能是人工智能在支持CT扫描分析中的作用。TQ试图量化我们合理利用当前技术以及快速适应、接受和利用未来创造的能力。)”可知,在人工智能辅助下分析CT扫描的医生具有较高的TQ。故选B。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“The ability for the child and the teacher to understand, embrace and assimilate technology will be a defining aspect of their lives as we speed into the future.(随着我们加速进入未来,孩子和老师理解、接受和assimilate技术的能力将成为他们生活的决定性方面。)”可知,孩子和老师理解、接受和“吸收”技术的能力将成为他们生活的决定性方面,assimilate意为“吸收,同化”,与take in意思相近。A. Rely on依靠;B. Take in吸收;C. Benefit from从……中受益;D. Learn about了解。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段“New era requires a new vocabulary. Will we still talk about the “mobile” phone when all phones are mobile, or when they are implanted within us?(新时代需要新的词汇。当所有的手机都是移动的,或者当它们被植入我们体内时,我们还会谈论“移动”电话吗?)”以及最后一段“While this shift brings challenges, it’s unstoppable. As TQ rises, it will combine with IQ and EQ, reshaping how we live, work, and learn — turning adaptability with tech into a measurable edge.(虽然这种转变带来了挑战,但它是不可阻挡的。随着TQ的提高,它将与IQ和EQ相结合,重塑我们的生活、工作和学习方式——将技术适应能力转化为可衡量的优势。)”可知,文章主要讨论了科技商数(TQ)成为新时代衡量人们利用和适应新技术能力的新标准,且TQ将与IQ和EQ共同重塑生活、工作和学习方式,因此“What Makes TQ the New Intelligence?(是什么让TQ成为新的智能?)”作为标题最合适。故选C。
D
A small device no bigger than a toaster has generated oxygen on the surface of Mars, bringing the chances of surviving on the red planet a step closer.
The Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment, better known as Moxie, has been generating oxygen from the atmosphere on Mars, as part of NASA’s Perseverance rover (漫游者) mission.
Moxie produced breathable oxygen in seven hour-long tests conducted in various weather and atmosphere conditions since landing. During each test, the device produced six grams of oxygen, about the same as a small tree and enough to sustain an astronaut for 15 minutes. It’s also found that even in extreme temperatures and after a Martian dust storm, Moxie continued to produce high-purity oxygen.
“This is the first demonstration of actually using resources on the surface of another planet and transforming them chemically into something that would be useful for a human mission,” said Jeff Hoffinan, a retired astronaut and professor at MIT.
NASA and the MIT team are planning to build a bigger version of Moxie, as they hope advanced models will produce enough oxygen to support a crewed mission to Mars. “We have to bring a lot of stuff from Earth to support a human mission, but oxygen is a big problem. If you can make it there, go for it and you’re way ahead of the game,” Hoffinan said.
The device uses pumps that absorb in carbon dioxide which is heated to 800℃and processed to separate the carbon and oxygen. Carbon monoxide (一氧化碳) is emitted as waste while the pure oxygen is left behind.
Expanding the device to support a human mission to Mars presents challenges. It is needed to run continuously for 400 days, a leap from the one-hour tests and its inner temperature should be controlled stably. Moxie has proved to endure the extreme conditions on Mars, however, and the team plans to assess the machine’s limits in the coming months when atmosphere is thick and carbon dioxide levels are high. They say they just want to set everything as high as they dare and make as much oxygen as they can.
12. What can we learn about Moxie?
A. It works well in a series of tests.
B. It is stopped by extreme conditions.
C. It aims to purify breathable oxygen.
D. It produces oxygen enough for a team.
13. What is the author’s purpose by quoting Hoffinan’s words in Paragraph 5?
A. To present a plan to further explore Mars.
B. To demonstrate Nasa’s ambition to win the game.
C. To show the plentiful and useful resources on Mars.
D. To highlight the significance of making oxygen on Mars.
14. Which of the following best describes the team according to the last paragraph?
A Cautious and ambitious. B. Practical and independent.
C. Confident and intelligent. D. Courageous and imaginative.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Nasa Mars rover landed successfully.
B. Challenges for a human mission to Mars.
C. A little oxygen on Mars, a great leap forward.
D. Human beings survive with oxygen made on Mars.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了是这个Moxie设备,它能让人类在登录火星后产生大量的氧气,这使人类在火星上生存的机会更近了一步。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Moxie produced breathable oxygen in seven hour-long tests conducted in various weather and atmosphere conditions since landing. During each test, the device produced six grams of oxygen, about the same as a small tree and enough to sustain an astronaut for 15 minutes. (Moxie在着陆后在各种天气和大气条件下进行了7个小时的测试,产生了可呼吸的氧气。在每次测试中,该设备产生了6克氧气,大约相当于一棵小树,足以维持一名宇航员15分钟的生命)”可知,Moxie在一系列实验中起着良好的作用。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中““We have to bring a lot of stuff from Earth to support a human mission, but oxygen is a big problem. If you can make it there, go for it and you’re way ahead of the game,” Hoffinan said.(“我们必须从地球上带很多东西来支持人类的任务,但氧气是个大问题。如果你能做到,那就努力去做,你已经走在了探索的前面。”Hoffinan说)”可知,氧气可以支持人类在火星的任务,如果有了氧气就走在了探索的前面。由此推知,本段引用Hoffinan的话是为了强调在火星上制造氧气的重要性。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It is needed to run continuously for 400 days, a leap from the one-hour tests and its inner temperature should be controlled stably.(它需要连续运行400天,远远超过1小时的测试,其内部温度需要稳定控制)”可知,研究团队需要花费大量时间进行测试,保证内部温度稳定,体现出研究团队的严谨性,同时根据本段中“Moxie has proved to endure the extreme conditions on Mars, however, and the team plans to assess the machine’s limits in the coming months when atmosphere is thick and carbon dioxide levels are high. (Moxie已经被证明能忍受火星上的极端条件,研究小组计划在未来几个月评估机器的极限,那时大气很厚,二氧化碳含量很高)”可知,Moxie已经被证明能忍受火星上的极端条件但是研究小组继续坚持突破极限,这是有抱负的体现。综上,故选A。
15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中“Moxie produced breathable oxygen in seven hour-long tests conducted in various weather and atmosphere conditions since landing.

第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
I am a child of traditional book reading. I used to go through one book continuously from beginning to end, taking notes or highlighting lines before going on to the next book. It was a slow but deeper way to absorb a book. ___16___ My struggle with Dostoevsky’ s The Brothers Karamazov early on is a good example.
After college, my job involved reading a lot of background materials for projects. Many nights I stayed awake till past midnight leafing through pages. ___17___ It helped me breeze through my reading requirements. However, for books I was genuinely passionate about, I switched to a slower pace, and still read one book at a time.
___18___ I no longer stick to one book, but jump between them, spending about half an hour on each. Currently, I’m reading six books in various stages, with more lined up to start soon. My speed reading skills help me scan quickly without losing comprehension. I can easily switch to slow reading mode whenever needed.
Recently, I learnt from a journal that my previous reading method is known as “Blocked Practice”, which involves studying one topic thoroughly before moving on to another. ___19___ However, it tends to restrict how you apply knowledge in new and varied situations.
On the other hand, the “mixing it up” approach, also referred to as “Interleaved Practice”, could produce dramatic, long-lasting learning benefits. By switching between topics, readers can make connections between ideas and skills. ___20___ Over time, readers could be more capable of solving problems critically. If this is true, then my evolution as a reader of books has been in the right direction all along.
A. It helps widen perspectives.
B. This method has its limitations.
C. That was when I took up speed reading.
D. I’m not great at trying out different reading styles.
E. That’s why it took me months to finish heavy books.
F. Nowadays I’ ve acquired the habit of multiple book reading.
G. This approach can be effective for mastering individual concepts.
【答案】16. E 17. C 18. F 19. G 20. A

【答案】 Opinion on High School Students’ Using AI to Write Essays
Hello, everyone!
Our group believes that using AI to write essays has both advantages and disadvantages.
While it can provide quick ideas, over-reliance may hinder students’ thinking skills. What matters most is learning to express ideas independently. We suggest that students use AI as a tool for inspiration, not answers. Teachers should also set clear rules, like requiring students to explain their essays afterward. This ensures that AI helps rather than replaces learning.
In conclusion, we think that AI can be useful if used wisely. What counts is maintaining the balance between technology and self-improvement.
Thank you!

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。
On the street, I watched the elderly woman struggle with a walker, loaded down with bags of groceries. I’d seen her before, each time feeling guilty I didn’t offer her a lift. This day, I stopped and led her into the car.
“Bless you, child,” she said. She directed me to go farther south. It seemed too far for her to walk everyday. She explained that she usually took a bus but had missed the last one. Gradually, it got dark, and I began to feel uneasy. We continued down unfamiliar streets until she finally pointed to an old apartment building where she lived. Several rowdy (粗鲁的) young men in their early twenties had gathered around the entrance. They were smoking something and appeared threatening. Some were on motorcycles, and one, wearing a hoodie (连帽衫) over his bushy, long hair, was staring at me intently — too intently — and smiling.
I felt uncomfortable, but the woman seemed fine. I stopped the car and helped with her cart and groceries. She thanked me, and I drove away as fast as I could.
Half an hour later, back on the road I knew, I turned on the radio and played some familiar music. Suddenly the peaceful atmosphere was interrupted by the roar of a motorcycle behind me. Slowing down, I was hoping he would pass me. I recognized the biker from the apartment house—the one with the hoodie and bushy hair who kept smiling at me familiarly. He didn’t pass me but continued to drive at the same speed as me. I realized he was waving for me to stop.
Outside, it was pitch-dark. No way was I going to stop on a deserted street. I tried to speed away as fast as I could, but it didn’t stop him. He raced after me again. Getting increasingly anxious, I tried to use the phone to call 911. With my eyes on the road, one hand on the wheel and the other hand searching on the seat next to me for my purse, I felt an empty seat. My purse wasn’t there!
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 开头已给出。
Paragraph 1:
Looking back again, through the rearview mirror (后视镜), I finally saw it — the person was waving with something I recognized.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph2:
Seeing the note in the purse, emotional tears welled up in my eyes.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Looking back again, through the rearview mirror (后视镜), I finally saw it — the person was waving with something I recognized. It was my purse! In my haste to help the elderly woman, I must have left it on the roof of the car. The biker, despite his intimidating appearance, had chased me down just to return it. My heart pounded with guilt and relief as I pulled over. He approached slowly, still smiling, and handed me the purse through the window. “You dropped this, miss,” he said kindly, his voice gentle and respectful. I apologized for misjudging him and thanked him sincerely. He simply nodded, turned his motorcycle around, and rode off into the night, leaving me with a powerful lesson about appearances and kindness. When I got back in the car to check my wallet, I found a small note.
Seeing the note in the purse, emotional tears welled up in my eyes. Tucked inside was a small, folded piece of paper with a message written in shaky handwriting: “Thank you for your kindness today. The world needs more people like you. — The old lady you helped.” I realized then that the biker must have been her grandson or someone close to her, watching over her. What I had seen as a threat was actually a gesture of care. That night, I drove home with a full heart, reminded that kindness often comes from the most unexpected places.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了一次看似平常的善举引发的意外经历。作者在一次下班途中,主动帮助一位推着手推车、提着沉重购物袋的老妇人回家,尽管途中因环境陌生和一群年轻人的出现而感到不安,仍坚持完成了帮助。然而,在返程途中,作者被其中一位“看起来粗鲁”的骑摩托男子追赶,误以为遭遇危险,最终却发现对方只是为了归还她遗落的钱包,并在其中收到老妇人亲笔写下的感谢信。故事通过误会与反转,传达了“人不可貌相”以及善意终将回馈温暖的主题。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“通过后视镜,我再次回头看,终于看到了——那个人正挥舞着我认识的东西。”可知,第一段可描写作者认出自己遗落的钱包,鼓起勇气靠边停车,对方却还钱包,作者为自己的以貌取人道歉,回到车里检查钱包时,发现了一张纸条。
②由第二段首句内容“看到钱包里的纸条,我激动得热泪盈眶。”可知,第二段可描写作者发现那位老妇人偷偷塞进的感谢小纸条,由此联想到骑摩托青年可能是她家人或邻里,意识到善良往往来自最意想不到的地方。

第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分 50 分)
第一节 (共 15 小题;每小题 2.5 分,满分 37.5 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
The Future of Clean Energy in Homes
Heating, cooling, and powering homes contribute significantly to global CO₂ emissions. As nations strive to reduce their carbon footprints, residential energy use — responsible for nearly 20% of energy-related emissions — poses unique challenges. Below is the 2022 breakdown of household emissions by source.
ELECTRICITY 52%
HEATING 28%
COOLING 12%
APPLIANCES 6%
LIGHTING 2%
Clean energy solutions for homes must be affordable, efficient, and adaptable to diverse climates. While technologies vary, here are key innovations driving the shift toward sustainability.
HEAT PUMPS — Efficient Heating/Cooling
Replacing gas boilers, electric heat pumps transfer warmth from air or ground, cutting heating emissions by 50%. Hybrid models, hopefully, might be able to work in sub-zero temperatures in the near future.
SMART GRIDS (电网) — Dynamic Electricity Management
AI-powered grids optimize energy use, storing surplus solar power during peak hours and reducing reliance on fossil-fuel backups.
SOLAR PANELS — Rooftop Revolution
Solar energy is the most accessible renewable source for households. Advances in photovoltaic cells have cut costs by 80% since 2010, making them viable in numerous regions.
WIND TURBINES — Community Microgrids
Small-scale turbines (涡轮机) in windy areas can power neighborhoods, though land use debates persist. “The scale of this transition is staggering,” says Dr. Elena Torres, a climate scientist at MIT. Residential renewables like solar and heat pumps could meet 90% of global household demand by 2050 — but only if investments triple within this decade. Recent studies show that every $1 invested in green homes today saves $5 in future climate adaptation costs. This isn’t just an environmental imperative; it’s economically inevitable.
1. Which two categories combined account for over three-quarters of total household emissions?
A. Electricity and Heating. B. Heating and Cooling.
C. Appliances and Lighting. D. Cooling and Appliances.
2. Which technology is highlighted as cost-effective for diverse climates?
A. Heat pumps. B. Smart grids. C. Solar panels. D. Wind turbines.
3. What does Dr. Torres emphasize about the energy transition?
A. The dominance of gas boilers. B. The increase in solar efficiency.
C. The need for higher investment. D. The breakthrough in heat pump technology.
B
The unforgiving demands of the IB program became my reality on the third day of school with an overwhelming physics lab. My teacher’s claim that no one would score above 90% shook my confidence. This anxiety was intensified at home, where my father voiced his concerns over my flat SAT progress, a necessity for a celebrated university.
The final catalyst for my breakdown was an unexpected rejection from the Regional Red Cross Youth Council. As vice president of my school’s chapter, I had never considered this possibility. The Red Cross was my passion and what I relied on to set me apart from other applicants. This rejection made my future seem dim, and I broke like a rubber band stretched beyond its limit.
I found my mother, the woman who had sacrificed her own career and life for my opportunities, and poured out my fears. She listened attentively before drawing a circle on the tablecloth. “This is your time,” she began. “Eighty percent is schoolwork, ten percent the SAT, and ten percent extracurriculars.” She then looked at me with deep emotion and said, “But most importantly, at one hundred percent, is your mental health.”
“Nothing is more important than your health,” she continued. “We want you to have a good job so you’ll be less stressed. If this path makes you so unhappy, it isn’t worth it. If you’re happier flipping hamburgers, so be it.”
Her insight was a big relief. I realized a rubber band doesn’t have to keep stretching. A rubber band that wraps around your hair during the day and is allowed to rest on your nightstand at night won’t ever break.
Though my routine remained the same — studying hard and pursuing excellence — my perspective was forever changed. The fear of failure lost its power. I am still reaching for the moon but I am no longer afraid. For I know that if I miss, I will land right in my mother’s arms.
4 What does the underlined word “catalyst” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Foundation. B. Solution. C. Symbol. D. Cause.
5. What does the author’s mother attach most importance to?
A. The author’s overall wellbeing. B. The sacrifice for her daughter.
C. The relief of the author’s stress. D. The author’s devotion to schoolwork.
6. What does the use of the “rubber band” try to illustrate?
A. A conflict with her father about goals.
B. A bond between the author and her mother.
C. A shift in the author’s outlook on pressure.
D. A link to the author’s academic performance.
7. What does the author mean by saying “reaching for the moon”?
A. She will be unbeatable.
B. She will continue to aim high.
C. She has achieved all her goals.
D. She has a passion for astronomy.
C
New era requires a new vocabulary. Will we still talk about the “mobile” phone when all phones are mobile, or when they are implanted within us?
Technology is everywhere nowadays, especially at work. Some people are really good at using all the cool new tools that keep popping up. They have something called a TQ, or technology quotient. Think of it like a superpower for understanding the latest tech stuff that our great-grandparents would have found really impossible. Having a high TQ means you’re awesome at using all the cool new things that not everyone knows about yet.
The examples are common and becoming more and more frequent. For the parent it might be a home-school video class. For the brand manager it might be search engine boosting. And for the clinician, it might be the role of artificial intelligence in supporting the analysis of a CT scan. TQ attempts to quantify our ability to make sensible use of current technologies and to quickly adapt, embrace and capitalize on future creations. This adoption is critical from a variety of perspectives, from social to business. One trip into the world of ChatGPT and we can see how the dynamics of AI and search are changing for just about everyone.
Any Mom or Dad can understand the value of IQ and EQ in projecting the potential for a child’s success. But what about technology? The ability for the child and the teacher to understand, embrace and assimilate technology will be a defining aspect of their lives as we speed into the future. We are increasingly defined by technology and our active participation in everything from smart phones to Facebook. It might just be time for the basic human needs of food, water and shelter to incorporate technology too. And when that happens, it just might be a good idea to measure it.
While this shift brings challenges, it’s unstoppable. As TQ rises, it will combine with IQ and EQ, reshaping how we live, work, and learn — turning adaptability with tech into a measurable edge.
8. What is TQ according to the text?
A. Speed of learning new languages. B. Skill of fixing high-tech products.
C. Talent to follow modern changes. D. Ability to apply new technologies.
9. Which of the following people has a high TQ?
A. A manager who often uses modern search engines.
B. A doctor who analyzes CT scans with AI assistance.
C. A grandparent who finds new tech devices awkward.
D. A mom who watches videos of her child’s school life.
10. What does the underlined word “assimilate” in the fourth paragraph mean?
A. Rely on. B. Take in. C. Benefit from. D. Learn about.
11. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. Why Are IQ and EQ Important for TQ? B. How Has TQ Changed in the Modern Era?
C. What Makes TQ the New Intelligence? D. Where to Start Adapting to TQ Changes?
D
A small device no bigger than a toaster has generated oxygen on the surface of Mars, bringing the chances of surviving on the red planet a step closer.
The Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment, better known as Moxie, has been generating oxygen from the atmosphere on Mars, as part of NASA’s Perseverance rover (漫游者) mission.
Moxie produced breathable oxygen in seven hour-long tests conducted in various weather and atmosphere conditions since landing. During each test, the device produced six grams of oxygen, about the same as a small tree and enough to sustain an astronaut for 15 minutes. It’s also found that even in extreme temperatures and after a Martian dust storm, Moxie continued to produce high-purity oxygen.
“This is the first demonstration of actually using resources on the surface of another planet and transforming them chemically into something that would be useful for a human mission,” said Jeff Hoffinan, a retired astronaut and professor at MIT.
NASA and the MIT team are planning to build a bigger version of Moxie, as they hope advanced models will produce enough oxygen to support a crewed mission to Mars. “We have to bring a lot of stuff from Earth to support a human mission, but oxygen is a big problem. If you can make it there, go for it and you’re way ahead of the game,” Hoffinan said.
The device uses pumps that absorb in carbon dioxide which is heated to 800℃and processed to separate the carbon and oxygen. Carbon monoxide (一氧化碳) is emitted as waste while the pure oxygen is left behind.
Expanding the device to support a human mission to Mars presents challenges. It is needed to run continuously for 400 days, a leap from the one-hour tests and its inner temperature should be controlled stably. Moxie has proved to endure the extreme conditions on Mars, however, and the team plans to assess the machine’s limits in the coming months when atmosphere is thick and carbon dioxide levels are high. They say they just want to set everything as high as they dare and make as much oxygen as they can.
12. What can we learn about Moxie?
A. It works well in a series of tests.
B It is stopped by extreme conditions.
C. It aims to purify breathable oxygen.
D. It produces oxygen enough for a team.
13. What is the author’s purpose by quoting Hoffinan’s words in Paragraph 5?
A. To present a plan to further explore Mars.
B. To demonstrate Nasa’s ambition to win the game.
C. To show the plentiful and useful resources on Mars.
D. To highlight the significance of making oxygen on Mars.
14. Which of the following best describes the team according to the last paragraph?
A. Cautious and ambitious. B. Practical and independent.
C. Confident and intelligent. D. Courageous and imaginative.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Nasa Mars rover landed successfully.
B. Challenges for a human mission to Mars.
C. A little oxygen on Mars, a great leap forward.
D. Human beings survive with oxygen made on Mars.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
I am a child of traditional book reading. I used to go through one book continuously from beginning to end, taking notes or highlighting lines before going on to the next book. It was a slow but deeper way to absorb a book. ___16___ My struggle with Dostoevsky’ s The Brothers Karamazov early on is a good example.
After college, my job involved reading a lot of background materials for projects. Many nights I stayed awake till past midnight leafing through pages. ___17___ It helped me breeze through my reading requirements. However, for books I was genuinely passionate about, I switched to a slower pace, and still read one book at a time.
___18___ I no longer stick to one book, but jump between them, spending about half an hour on each. Currently, I’m reading six books in various stages, with more lined up to start soon. My speed reading skills help me scan quickly without losing comprehension. I can easily switch to slow reading mode whenever needed.
Recently I learnt from a journal that my previous reading method is known as “Blocked Practice”, which involves studying one topic thoroughly before moving on to another. ___19___ However, it tends to restrict how you apply knowledge in new and varied situations.
On the other hand, the “mixing it up” approach, also referred to as “Interleaved Practice”, could produce dramatic, long-lasting learning benefits. By switching between topics, readers can make connections between ideas and skills. ___20___ Over time, readers could be more capable of solving problems critically. If this is true, then my evolution as a reader of books has been in the right direction all along.
A. It helps widen perspectives.
B. This method has its limitations.
C. That was when I took up speed reading.
D. I’m not great at trying out different reading styles.

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。
On the street, I watched the elderly woman struggle with a walker, loaded down with bags of groceries. I’d seen her before, each time feeling guilty I didn’t offer her a lift. This day, I stopped and led her into the car.
“Bless you, child,” she said. She directed me to go farther south. It seemed too far for her to walk everyday. She explained that she usually took a bus but had missed the last one. Gradually, it got dark, and I began to feel uneasy. We continued down unfamiliar streets until she finally pointed to an old apartment building where she lived. Several rowdy (粗鲁的) young men in their early twenties had gathered around the entrance. They were smoking something and appeared threatening. Some were on motorcycles, and one, wearing a hoodie (连帽衫) over his bushy, long hair, was staring at me intently — too intently — and smiling.
I felt uncomfortable, but the woman seemed fine. I stopped the car and helped with her cart and groceries. She thanked me, and I drove away as fast as I could.
Half an hour later, back on the road I knew, I turned on the radio and played some familiar music. Suddenly the peaceful atmosphere was interrupted by the roar of a motorcycle behind me. Slowing down, I was hoping he would pass me. I recognized the biker from the apartment house—the one with the hoodie and bushy hair who kept smiling at me familiarly. He didn’t pass me but continued to drive at the same speed as me. I realized he was waving for me to stop.
Outside, it was pitch-dark. No way was I going to stop on a deserted street. I tried to speed away as fast as I could, but it didn’t stop him. He raced after me again. Getting increasingly anxious, I tried to use the phone to call 911. With my eyes on the road, one hand on the wheel and the other hand searching on the seat next to me for my purse, I felt an empty seat. My purse wasn’t there!
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;

Paragraph 1:
Looking back again, through the rearview mirror (后视镜), I finally saw it — the person was waving with something I recognized.

Paragraph2:
Seeing the note in the purse, emotional tears welled up in my eyes.
