In 1896, they began to experiment, or try new ideas, with flight. First, they started by testing kites. Then, they worked on gliders, which are planes without motors (马达). These experiments showed them how an airplane should 88 . They learned how it should rise, turn, and come back to the ground. The brothers flew their gliders at Kitty Hawk. That is a beach in North Carolina. It was very windy there. That helped their gliders take off. In 1903, they 89 a machine that they called the Flyer. It had a motor and was their first airplane. The Flyer was large and heavy. The brothers could not 90 wind to help it fly, so they built a track (轨道) for it. They wheeled the Flyer along the track to help it rise. In December 1903, the Wright Brothers were ready to test the Flyer. The plane lifted about ten feet off the ground. It flew over the sand for a short time. Then, it landed back on the ground. The Flyer only traveled about 120 feet. 91 , it had flown! The brothers continued to work on their plane. After a while, it could stay in the air for over one hour.

(选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文) Oil is not the only source of power in South America. Many countries rely on another liquid-water. Many of the America's big rivers are 99 to make hydroelectric power(水电), or electricity produced by controlling the force of flowing water. South America's biggest hydroelectric plant is Itaipu Dam, located on the border of Paraguay and Brazil. This massive dam stretch across the Parana River. 100 workers could even begin building the dam, they had to shift(移动) the Parana River around the construction site(工地). They did this by 101 a 2-kilometer channel around the dam site. This project alone took nearly three years. The governments of Paraguay and Brazil work together to run the hydroelectric plants at Itaipu Dam. The countries split the low- cost electricity 102 here. Both countries benefit from this agreement. Paraguay is a smaller country than Brazil and it doesn't need nearly as much electricity. In fact, Itaipu Dam produces far more electricity than the whole country of Paraguay can use! So Paraguay earns money by 103 its excess(多余的) electricity to Brazil. This electricity helps light up Brazil's biggest city Sao Paulo. Itaipu Dam brings money to the region in another way as well.

(选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文) Time to “Learn” Math WHY DO SO MANY STUDENTS hate or fear math? In my opinion, this has something to do with students’ role in Math classes. Students rarely think they are in the classroom to 105 the beauty of math. Instead, they think they are there to perform. From an early age, students realize math is different from other subjects. In many schools, math is more about answering questions than it is about 106 . Educators (教育学家) know how to improve the situation. In perfect math-learning environments, students work on difficult but interesting problems. They try a new idea, 107 and then try another new idea. They receive positive messages about their unlimited potential. Students with a “growth” mindset (观念模式) believe their ability is not “fixed”. They know failure is a natural part of learning. These students perform at higher levels in math and in life. 108 , most students today don’t get the chance to see math as a “growth subject”. They have to work on closed questions. There is no room for failure. Many students finally say to themselves, “I’m not a math person”. Furthermore, math looks more like a speed race than any other subject. Teachers usually take 109 from the first student who raises his or her hand. Math tests are timed. No wonder students who think slowly and deeply often hate or fear math. Schools should encourage teachers to open up math. In this way, math becomes a learning subject, instead of a performance subject. Teachers should ask questions that have many 110 instead of closed questions. They should give students the chance to discuss different ideas. They should also encourage students to ask questions that have never been asked. When teachers set students free, the beauty of math follows. More children will fall in love with this subject. 105．A．destroy B．discover C．draw D．say 106．A．travelling B．playing C．learning D．wondering 107．A．fail B．succeed C．cry D．laugh 108．A．Importantly B．Personally C．Carefully D．Unfortunately 109．A．books B．answers C．pens D．schoolbags 110．A．difficulties B．differences C．entrances D．solutions 【答案】105．B 106．C 107．A 108．D 109．B 110．D 【导语】本文介绍了学生讨厌数学的原因以及如何让学生对数学感兴趣，而不是惧怕和讨厌数学。 105．句意：学生们很少认为自己在课堂上是为了发现数学的美。 destroy破坏；discover发现；draw画画；say说。根据“Instead, they think they are there to perform.（相反，他们认为自己是来表演的。）”可知说的是发现数学之美。故选B。 106．句意：在许多学校，数学更多的是回答问题，而不是学习。 travelling旅行；playing玩；learning学习；wondering想知道。根据“From an early age, students realize math is different from other subjects.”可知说的是对数学的看法，在学校里数学更多是回答问题，而不是学习。故选C。 107．句意：他们尝试一个新的想法，失败了，然后尝试另一个新想法。 fail失败；succeed成功；cry哭泣；laugh笑。根据“then try another new idea.”可知失败了，然后尝试另一个新想法。故选A。 108．句意：不幸的是，现在的大多数学生没有机会将数学视为一门“成长学科”。 Importantly重要地；Personally个人地；Carefully小心地；Unfortunately不幸地。根据“most students today don’t get the chance to see math as a ‘growth subject’（现在的大多数学生没有机会将数学视为一门“成长学科”。）”可知这是不幸地。故选D。 109．句意：老师通常从第一个举手的学生那里得到答案。 books书；answers答案；pens钢笔；schoolbags书包。根据“Furthermore, math looks more like a speed race than any other subject.（此外，数学比任何其他学科都更像是一场速度竞赛。）”可知说的是得到答案。故选B。 110．句意：教师应该提出有许多解决方案的问题，而不是封闭的问题。 difficulties困难；differences差异；entrances入口；solutions解决方案。根据“instead of closed questions.”可知老师应该问有很多答案的问题。故选D。 Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage. (选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文) Los Angeles, a beautiful city between mountains and the ocean, has always faced risks from natural disasters like wildfires. Recently, climate change has made these fires even worse. Scientists explain that extreme weather patterns—such as heavy rains followed by long droughts (干旱)—create 111 conditions for fires. The rains help plants grow wildly, and the droughts turn them into dry fuel. Strong Santa Ana winds then 112 the fire to spread rapidly. Human activities also increase the danger. Many old houses are built with wood, a material that catches fire easily. Although environmental laws aim to protect nature, people are sometimes unwilling to remove the dry plants near their homes. Worse still, people continue building houses in risky foothill areas surrounded by bushes that are burnt 113 . By January 16th, the wildfires had killed 25 people and destroyed over 12,000 buildings. The damage cost over $50 billion, making it the most expensive wildfire disaster in U.S. history. Thick smoke filled the air, forcing schools to close and leaving many locals 114 with difficulty. The fires also harmed wildlife and turned green forests into black wastelands. Rescue teams worked day and night, but the fire remained uncontrollable for weeks. Experts say we need some preparation to prevent future disasters. 115 , building fireproof (防火的) houses using materials like metal or concrete (混凝土) is essential. Governments should support people to avoid building in high-risk zones and update city plans to create firebreaks. Clearing dry plants regularly and replanting fireproof trees can also help. Most importantly, this disaster teaches us that humans must learn to live in harmony (和谐) with 116 instead of refusing to pay attention to its power.

Lynn Everett, 58, and her husband Tony, 67, spend all their time caring for their dogs. They spend two hours a day preparing meals for their dogs. Walking the dogs is like a big army operation. Dog food, pet accessories (配饰) and vet bills costs them about $46,000 a year. But they love every minute they spend with their dogs, though it costs money and takes hard work. “Feeding time takes two hours. There are 41 dinners to prepare and 41 bowls to wash after,” Lynn said. “I have to remember who eats what, as some have beef and the others have chicken. I have to be there when they’re eating to make sure they don’t argue. Some people want to be nurses; some want to work in offices. All I have ever wanted is to have lots of dogs.” Tony is also a dog lover, but he isn’t as crazy about them as Lynn. After getting married, they got a dog together, and then one after another, until they finally had 41. He admits having 41 dogs is a bit too much and can cause problems between him and Lynn. “We argue because I have one way of doing it and he has another,” Lynn added. The couple haven’t gone on holiday since their honeymoon 21 years ago, because they’ve got to care for the dogs. Lynn leaves the house only once a year to attend the popular Crufts Dog Show in Birmingham. Even though Tony finds living with so many dogs difficult at times, he knows how much they mean to Lynn. “Lynn loves them like a mother loves her babies. When she has dogs around her, it’s a feeling like it completes her.” said Tony. 123．Where does the British couple raise their 41 dogs? ____________________________________________________________________________________________124．How much time a day does the couple spend in preparing meals and feeding the dogs? ____________________________________________________________________________________________125．Do all the dogs eat the same meat for their meals? ____________________________________________________________________________________________126．What was Lynn’s dream as a child? ____________________________________________________________________________________________127．Why haven’t the couple gone on holiday for 21 years? ____________________________________________________________________________________________128．What do you think of the couple’s life with forty-one dogs around?

(根据短文内容完成任务。) A new fleet of ocean-cleaning drones is being tested to remove plastic waste from the sea. These autonomous (自动的) devices use AI to detect and collect floating debris (碎片), helping to reduce the millions of tons of plastic polluting the oceans. The drones operate day and night, covering large areas more efficiently than human-led clean-up efforts. Traditional clean-up methods involve ships and nets, which are slow, expensive, and often harm marine life. The drones, however, are designed to avoid wildlife while targeting only plastic waste. Early trials show they can collect up to 100 kilograms of debris per day, making them a promising solution for large-scale ocean clean-up. One challenge is that strong ocean currents can push debris out of reach, making it harder for the drones to operate effectively. Dr. Hannah Lee, the project coordinator, says her team is improving the drones’ navigation systems to handle rough sea conditions. They are also developing ways to recycle the collected plastic into usable materials. If successful, these drones could play a key role in restoring marine ecosystems and protecting sea life.

Read the passage and complete the tasks. (根据短文内容完成任务。) “Hello! I said to myself today that if I did five handstands, it would be an excellent year, and I did!” Thus began the 41-volume (and counting) diary of my life. It was 1984 and I was 14, feeling my way through adolescence (青少年时期). Most of the diaries have lain unread since I wrote them. Yet every morning. I hold my pen and write up yesterday. You pay more attention to the world when you know you’ll be writing it up. I recorded a pony-tailed metalworker from Canada who shared the same singers with me and a middle-aged woman in a waiting room who described to me her lively garden. I want to write about even the dullest day because the ordinary things of today will be tomorrow’s history. The past still lives on in those pages, and I can feel it closing over me if I look back on them. Recently, I read every day of my university years. It was like reading a novel about someone else. I read of difficult situations I no longer recalled and of dramas whose endings I had forgotten. Long-lost friends danced to a Swedish pop group in my student room, and long-dead voices spoke again. When I closed the diary, I felt like I went into a different century, a different home and a different family, and surprised at the years that had brought me here. It’s a weighty business recording a life, yet it has taught me not to take myself too seriously. When painful moments are written down, I can more easily let them go. Seeing life as a story with an unknown number of chapters to write is both exciting and frightening. I plan to record the days until I can no longer hold a pen. The only part of the story I’ll never get to write will be the ending. 135．When did the writer start writing diaries? ____________________________________________________________________________________________136．The writer never writes about uninteresting days, does she? ____________________________________________________________________________________________137．How did the writer feel when reading her university years? ____________________________________________________________________________________________138．Why does the writer love keeping diaries so much? ____________________________________________________________________________________________139．What does the writer mean by saying “The only part of the story I’ll never get to write will be the ending.”? ____________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】135．In 1984 when she was 14. 136．Yes./Yes, she does. 137．She felt like reading a novel about someone else. 138．Because it helps her record life and let go of pain. 139．She means she cannot write about her own death in the diary. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，作者通过日记记录生活，讲述了写日记的意义和感受。 135．根据“Thus began the 41-volume (and counting) diary of my life.

It was like reading a novel about someone else.”可知，作者读大学时期的日记就像读一本关于别人的小说。故填She felt like reading a novel about someone else. 138．根据第二段内容，以及“When painful moments are written down, I can more easily let them go.”可知，日记能帮助作者记录生活细节，释怀痛苦。故填Because it helps her record life and let go of pain. 139．根据“I plan to record the days until I can no longer hold a pen. The only part of the story I’ll never get to write will be the ending.”可知，划线句中的ending“结局”暗喻生命的终结。日记需由本人在生前书写，故无法亲自记录自己的死亡。故填She means she cannot write about her own death in the diary.

Follow your passions. I loved American indie dramas like Your Sister’s Sister. Start by asking: “What English movies interest me?” rather than “How do I learn English?” Use subtitles (字幕) wisely. Begin with subtitles in your native language to enjoy the story. Changing to English subtitles too early might make you feel stressed. Repeat cool phrases you hear. Mimicking (模仿) lines like “Here’s Johnny!” improved my pronunciation naturally. Write reviews online. After watching, visit sites like Letterbox and share your thoughts in English. Focus on movies you strongly loved or hated—strong feelings help you write better. Make movie nights regular. Aim for at least one film weekly. Watch anywhere—phone, laptop, or TV. Consistency matters most. Watch with English speakers if possible. Discussing films together helps practice speaking. I made English-speaking friends through a journalism (新闻业) class—you can too! Rewatch favorites. As a child, I repeatedly watched movies on TV channel MBC2. Multiple viewings can improve understanding of the language and content. Today, you can choose great films from streaming platforms. Focus on actors/ directors you like. Remember: Learning should be fun. When you enjoy the process, English skills grow naturally. Movies taught me not just language, but also cultural knowledge and lifelong friendships. Start with films you genuinely love, and let the learning happen through enjoyment! 146．How did the writer learn English? ____________________________________________________________________________________________147．What was the benefit of repeating movie expressions like “Here’s Johnny!” for the writer? ____________________________________________________________________________________________148．How did the writer make English-speaking friends in Morocco? ____________________________________________________________________________________________149．Why does the writer recommend rewatching favorite movies? ____________________________________________________________________________________________150．The writer learned not only language but also cultural knowledge from movies, didn’t he? ____________________________________________________________________________________________151．If you followed the writer’s advice, which method would work best for YOU? Why? ____________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】146．He learned English by watching 3-4 movies daily.   147．It improved his pronunciation naturally.   148．He made English-speaking friends through a journalism class. 149．Because multiple viewings can improve understanding of the language and content.   150．Yes, he did. 151．If I followed the writer’s advice, watching movies with English subtitles would work best for me. Because I can not only enjoy the story but also learn new words and expressions. What’s more, it can help me improve my listening and reading skills at the same time. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，作者主要分享了通过每天看3-4部电影、合理使用字幕、重复喜欢的台词、在线写影评、定期观影、与英语使用者一起看电影、重看喜爱的电影等有趣的方式学习英语，不仅提升了语言能力，还收获了文化知识和友谊。 146．根据“I grew up in Morocco, and mastered English by watching 3-4 movies daily.”可知，作者通过每天看3-4部电影来学习英语。故填He learned English by watching 3-4 movies daily.   147．根据“Repeating cool phrases you hear.

There was a row of poplars (杨树) in my first childhood home, but bark beetles (树皮甲虫) had taken their toll on (对……造成恶果) our once-lovely 18-metre-tall trees. Out on the farm, my grandparents always cut a Christmas tree from the fields. They were always short and had needles that left scratch (划痕) marks on our arms. Those trees were a family tradition and I can still recall their smell all these years later. A huge willow tree once stood in the backyard as well. The kids had a tree house in it for a long time. Other kids in the neighbourhood enjoyed it too. But the old willow rotted (腐烂) from the inside out and had to be taken down. The kids are in their 30s now, and they’re still upset about the willow. There’s a sadness to a fallen tree; to the sound it makes when it hits the ground. My husband and I were working as newspaper photographers when the active volcano (火山) Mt. St. Helens exploded. Many nearby forests were completely destroyed by the effects of the explosion. Trees tend to be symbols of strength and beauty. The death of a tree is a reminder of our own weaknesses. The trees returned to Mt. St. Helens—and they returned faster than the experts predicted. To all who had witnessed the devastation (毁灭), the regrowth was encouraging. Those small trees reminded us of the beauty of new beginnings. 152．The author can’t picture the house without the trees, can she? ____________________________________________________________________________________________153．How tall were the poplars? ____________________________________________________________________________________________154．Where did the grandparents cut a Christmas tree? ____________________________________________________________________________________________155．Why are the kids still upset about the willow when they are in their 30s? ____________________________________________________________________________________________156．What does the author think of the trees? ____________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】152．No, she can’t. 153．They were 18 metres tall. 154．From the fields. 155．Because the willow tree, which held their cherished treehouse, was taken down after rotting, and they still miss it. 156．She views trees as symbols of strength, beauty, and hope for new beginnings. 【导语】本文主要是作者回忆了童年家中的杨树、农场的圣诞树传统、后院的柳树以及火山爆发后森林的重生，这表明树木在作者的生活中扮演着特殊的角色，它们不仅是童年记忆中不可或缺的一部分，还象征着力量与美丽。 152．根据“I never picture the house without the trees,”可知作者从来没有想象过没有树的房子。故填No, she can’t. 153．根据“but bark beetles (树皮甲虫) had taken their toll on (对……造成恶果) our once-lovely 18-metre-tall trees.”可知这些杨树是18米高。故填They were 18 metres tall. 154．根据“Out on the farm, my grandparents always cut a Christmas tree from the fields”可知祖父母总是从田里砍下一棵圣诞树。故填From the fields. 155．根据“A huge willow tree once stood in the backyard as well.

Water pollution is 49 to people, plants, fish and birds. Pollution of drinking water is a problem for half of the world’s population. Among the 250 million people who get sick because of water pollution, 5 to 10 million of them die. As water pollution is getting more and more 50 , nobody on the Earth should still do nothing about it. Some of us are used to pouring sewage and harmful chemicals into rivers and lakes, and others throw 51 into them. So, many rivers, lakes and seas have become the home of cans, bottles, glass and plastics. It’s time for us to stop doing that. We should also try not to use 52 . If necessary, use as few as possible. At the same time, we should try to use other ways to kill weeds and bugs. Pet waste pollutes our water, too. So we need to put pet waste in the garbage bag.

It can be a life-changing 59 to enjoy different foods that are prepared by locals. I came to know this after my gap year (间隔年) in China. Ever since I was a boy, I have always enjoyed eating Chinese food here in Massachusetts. But, to be honest, I was only 60 with vegetable lomeins (捞面) and spring rolls. These were commonly served in my area’s restaurants. I knew that real Chinese dishes are greatly different from the ones that could be found in those places. Before I left for China, I felt 61 about whether I would really enjoy the food or not. During my first few days in Beijing, I did not enjoy everything that I tried. I especially 62 breakfast. One of the most common breakfast items was baozi. I found it strange that people ate so much meat for breakfast. But after these first couple of days, I 63 got used to the food. And I fell in love with one of Beijing’s most famous dishes—Peking duck. I especially liked the various tasty sauces and the thin, crispy (酥脆的) duck skin. Through my gap year in China, I learned that to truly enjoy Chinese food, one must go directly to China. Yet more importantly, this trip taught me to always have an open mind to new things.

In 1896, they began to experiment, or try new ideas, with flight. First, they started by testing kites. Then, they worked on gliders, which are planes without motors (马达). These experiments showed them how an airplane should 88 . They learned how it should rise, turn, and come back to the ground. The brothers flew their gliders at Kitty Hawk. That is a beach in North Carolina. It was very windy there. That helped their gliders take off. In 1903, they 89 a machine that they called the Flyer. It had a motor and was their first airplane. The Flyer was large and heavy. The brothers could not 90 wind to help it fly, so they built a track (轨道) for it. They wheeled the Flyer along the track to help it rise. In December 1903, the Wright Brothers were ready to test the Flyer. The plane lifted about ten feet off the ground. It flew over the sand for a short time. Then, it landed back on the ground. The Flyer only traveled about 120 feet. 91 , it had flown! The brothers continued to work on their plane. After a while, it could stay in the air for over one hour.

(选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文) Time to “Learn” Math WHY DO SO MANY STUDENTS hate or fear math? In my opinion, this has something to do with students’ role in Math classes. Students rarely think they are in the classroom to 105 the beauty of math. Instead, they think they are there to perform. From an early age, students realize math is different from other subjects. In many schools, math is more about answering questions than it is about 106 . Educators (教育学家) know how to improve the situation. In perfect math-learning environments, students work on difficult but interesting problems. They try a new idea, 107 and then try another new idea. They receive positive messages about their unlimited potential. Students with a “growth” mindset (观念模式) believe their ability is not “fixed”. They know failure is a natural part of learning. These students perform at higher levels in math and in life. 108 , most students today don’t get the chance to see math as a “growth subject”. They have to work on closed questions. There is no room for failure. Many students finally say to themselves, “I’m not a math person”. Furthermore, math looks more like a speed race than any other subject. Teachers usually take 109 from the first student who raises his or her hand. Math tests are timed. No wonder students who think slowly and deeply often hate or fear math. Schools should encourage teachers to open up math. In this way, math becomes a learning subject, instead of a performance subject. Teachers should ask questions that have many 110 instead of closed questions. They should give students the chance to discuss different ideas. They should also encourage students to ask questions that have never been asked. When teachers set students free, the beauty of math follows.

Recently, climate change has made these fires even worse. Scientists explain that extreme weather patterns—such as heavy rains followed by long droughts (干旱)—create 111 conditions for fires. The rains help plants grow wildly, and the droughts turn them into dry fuel. Strong Santa Ana winds then 112 the fire to spread rapidly. Human activities also increase the danger. Many old houses are built with wood, a material that catches fire easily. Although environmental laws aim to protect nature, people are sometimes unwilling to remove the dry plants near their homes. Worse still, people continue building houses in risky foothill areas surrounded by bushes that are burnt 113 . By January 16th, the wildfires had killed 25 people and destroyed over 12,000 buildings. The damage cost over $50 billion, making it the most expensive wildfire disaster in U.S. history. Thick smoke filled the air, forcing schools to close and leaving many locals 114 with difficulty. The fires also harmed wildlife and turned green forests into black wastelands. Rescue teams worked day and night, but the fire remained uncontrollable for weeks. Experts say we need some preparation to prevent future disasters. 115 , building fireproof (防火的) houses using materials like metal or concrete (混凝土) is essential. Governments should support people to avoid building in high-risk zones and update city plans to create firebreaks. Clearing dry plants regularly and replanting fireproof trees can also help. Most importantly, this disaster teaches us that humans must learn to live in harmony (和谐) with 116 instead of refusing to pay attention to its power.

Lynn Everett, 58, and her husband Tony, 67, spend all their time caring for their dogs. They spend two hours a day preparing meals for their dogs. Walking the dogs is like a big army operation. Dog food, pet accessories (配饰) and vet bills costs them about $46,000 a year. But they love every minute they spend with their dogs, though it costs money and takes hard work. “Feeding time takes two hours. There are 41 dinners to prepare and 41 bowls to wash after,” Lynn said. “I have to remember who eats what, as some have beef and the others have chicken. I have to be there when they’re eating to make sure they don’t argue. Some people want to be nurses; some want to work in offices. All I have ever wanted is to have lots of dogs.” Tony is also a dog lover, but he isn’t as crazy about them as Lynn. After getting married, they got a dog together, and then one after another, until they finally had 41. He admits having 41 dogs is a bit too much and can cause problems between him and Lynn. “We argue because I have one way of doing it and he has another,” Lynn added. The couple haven’t gone on holiday since their honeymoon 21 years ago, because they’ve got to care for the dogs. Lynn leaves the house only once a year to attend the popular Crufts Dog Show in Birmingham. Even though Tony finds living with so many dogs difficult at times, he knows how much they mean to Lynn. “Lynn loves them like a mother loves her babies. When she has dogs around her, it’s a feeling like it completes her.” said Tony. 123．Where does the British couple raise their 41 dogs? ____________________________________________________________________________________________124．How much time a day does the couple spend in preparing meals and feeding the dogs? ____________________________________________________________________________________________125．Do all the dogs eat the same meat for their meals? ____________________________________________________________________________________________126．What was Lynn’s dream as a child? ____________________________________________________________________________________________127．Why haven’t the couple gone on holiday for 21 years? ____________________________________________________________________________________________128．What do you think of the couple’s life with forty-one dogs around?

(根据短文内容完成任务。) A new fleet of ocean-cleaning drones is being tested to remove plastic waste from the sea. These autonomous (自动的) devices use AI to detect and collect floating debris (碎片), helping to reduce the millions of tons of plastic polluting the oceans. The drones operate day and night, covering large areas more efficiently than human-led clean-up efforts. Traditional clean-up methods involve ships and nets, which are slow, expensive, and often harm marine life. The drones, however, are designed to avoid wildlife while targeting only plastic waste. Early trials show they can collect up to 100 kilograms of debris per day, making them a promising solution for large-scale ocean clean-up. One challenge is that strong ocean currents can push debris out of reach, making it harder for the drones to operate effectively. Dr. Hannah Lee, the project coordinator, says her team is improving the drones’ navigation systems to handle rough sea conditions. They are also developing ways to recycle the collected plastic into usable materials. If successful, these drones could play a key role in restoring marine ecosystems and protecting sea life. This technology offers hope for a cleaner, healthier ocean in the future. 129．How do the drones identify plastic waste in the ocean? ____________________________________________________________________________________________130．Why are drones better than traditional clean-up methods? ____________________________________________________________________________________________131．How much debris can each drone collect daily? ____________________________________________________________________________________________132．What problem do strong ocean currents cause for the drones? ____________________________________________________________________________________________133．What aspect of the drones is Dr. Lee’s team improving? ____________________________________________________________________________________________134．Explain how ocean-cleaning drones help marine life.

I said to myself today that if I did five handstands, it would be an excellent year, and I did!” Thus began the 41-volume (and counting) diary of my life. It was 1984 and I was 14, feeling my way through adolescence (青少年时期). Most of the diaries have lain unread since I wrote them. Yet every morning. I hold my pen and write up yesterday. You pay more attention to the world when you know you’ll be writing it up. I recorded a pony-tailed metalworker from Canada who shared the same singers with me and a middle-aged woman in a waiting room who described to me her lively garden. I want to write about even the dullest day because the ordinary things of today will be tomorrow’s history. The past still lives on in those pages, and I can feel it closing over me if I look back on them. Recently, I read every day of my university years. It was like reading a novel about someone else. I read of difficult situations I no longer recalled and of dramas whose endings I had forgotten. Long-lost friends danced to a Swedish pop group in my student room, and long-dead voices spoke again. When I closed the diary, I felt like I went into a different century, a different home and a different family, and surprised at the years that had brought me here. It’s a weighty business recording a life, yet it has taught me not to take myself too seriously. When painful moments are written down, I can more easily let them go. Seeing life as a story with an unknown number of chapters to write is both exciting and frightening. I plan to record the days until I can no longer hold a pen. The only part of the story I’ll never get to write will be the ending. 135．When did the writer start writing diaries? ____________________________________________________________________________________________136．The writer never writes about uninteresting days, does she? ____________________________________________________________________________________________137．How did the writer feel when reading her university years? ____________________________________________________________________________________________138．Why does the writer love keeping diaries so much? ____________________________________________________________________________________________139．What does the writer mean by saying “The only part of the story I’ll never get to write will be the ending.”? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Read the passage and complete the tasks. (根据短文内容完成任务。) Encouragement is necessary for humans to develop and work hard. It helps people keep going. Here is a story of a simple note of praise. This note helped many people understand the importance of giving praise to other people. Robert Brooks is a psychologist (心理学家) now. He remembers the time when he was just a young man. He was in training to be a psychologist. He had to give a speech in front of a large group of people. And, he was very nervous. He did not like speaking in front of people. But his speech was very important. Robert gave his speech. He did a good job. But, he did not have the chance to hear what other people thought. Later that same day Robert looked into his mail box and found a small note there. The note simply said, “You did a great job today, Robert.” Robert was very surprised and happy to see the note. It made him feel very good. And, Robert believes that that small note helped him through the rest of his training. He felt like he was able to do a good job. Now as a psychologist, he teaches the importance of giving praise to other people. He tells them the story of the simple note that he received. He tells them that the words on the note had power. Those words helped him to continue doing a good job. One day, a businessman, who had attended Robert’s lecture, decided to take Robert’s ideas to heart. The more this businessman encouraged his workers, the happier they were. “The atmosphere in our company changed. We enjoyed working. We began to encourage each other too,” said one of the workers. “People seemed happier. But, most important of all, a greater spirit of team work developed,” the businessman added. 140．Robert Brooks liked speaking in front of people when he was young, didn’t he? ____________________________________________________________________________________________141．How did Robert feel when he had to give a speech in front of people? ____________________________________________________________________________________________142．Where did Robert find the note of praise after the speech? ____________________________________________________________________________________________143．What did Robert think the note gave him? ____________________________________________________________________________________________144．When did the businessman begin to encourage and praise his workers? ____________________________________________________________________________________________145．What changes took place in the company after the workers were encouraged?

My secret? Follow your passions. I loved American indie dramas like Your Sister’s Sister. Start by asking: “What English movies interest me?” rather than “How do I learn English?” Use subtitles (字幕) wisely. Begin with subtitles in your native language to enjoy the story. Changing to English subtitles too early might make you feel stressed. Repeat cool phrases you hear. Mimicking (模仿) lines like “Here’s Johnny!” improved my pronunciation naturally. Write reviews online. After watching, visit sites like Letterbox and share your thoughts in English. Focus on movies you strongly loved or hated—strong feelings help you write better. Make movie nights regular. Aim for at least one film weekly. Watch anywhere—phone, laptop, or TV. Consistency matters most. Watch with English speakers if possible. Discussing films together helps practice speaking. I made English-speaking friends through a journalism (新闻业) class—you can too! Rewatch favorites. As a child, I repeatedly watched movies on TV channel MBC2. Multiple viewings can improve understanding of the language and content. Today, you can choose great films from streaming platforms. Focus on actors/ directors you like. Remember: Learning should be fun. When you enjoy the process, English skills grow naturally. Movies taught me not just language, but also cultural knowledge and lifelong friendships. Start with films you genuinely love, and let the learning happen through enjoyment! 146．How did the writer learn English? ____________________________________________________________________________________________147．What was the benefit of repeating movie expressions like “Here’s Johnny!” for the writer? ____________________________________________________________________________________________148．How did the writer make English-speaking friends in Morocco? ____________________________________________________________________________________________149．Why does the writer recommend rewatching favorite movies? ____________________________________________________________________________________________150．The writer learned not only language but also cultural knowledge from movies, didn’t he? ____________________________________________________________________________________________151．If you followed the writer’s advice, which method would work best for YOU?

There was a row of poplars (杨树) in my first childhood home, but bark beetles (树皮甲虫) had taken their toll on (对……造成恶果) our once-lovely 18-metre-tall trees. Out on the farm, my grandparents always cut a Christmas tree from the fields. They were always short and had needles that left scratch (划痕) marks on our arms. Those trees were a family tradition and I can still recall their smell all these years later. A huge willow tree once stood in the backyard as well. The kids had a tree house in it for a long time. Other kids in the neighbourhood enjoyed it too. But the old willow rotted (腐烂) from the inside out and had to be taken down. The kids are in their 30s now, and they’re still upset about the willow. There’s a sadness to a fallen tree; to the sound it makes when it hits the ground. My husband and I were working as newspaper photographers when the active volcano (火山) Mt. St. Helens exploded. Many nearby forests were completely destroyed by the effects of the explosion. Trees tend to be symbols of strength and beauty. The death of a tree is a reminder of our own weaknesses. The trees returned to Mt. St. Helens—and they returned faster than the experts predicted. To all who had witnessed the devastation (毁灭), the regrowth was encouraging. Those small trees reminded us of the beauty of new beginnings. 152．The author can’t picture the house without the trees, can she? ____________________________________________________________________________________________153．How tall were the poplars? ____________________________________________________________________________________________154．Where did the grandparents cut a Christmas tree? ____________________________________________________________________________________________155．Why are the kids still upset about the willow when they are in their 30s? ____________________________________________________________________________________________156．What does the author think of the trees? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 五、书面表达 157．Write at least 60 words about the topic “My Views on Digital Life”.（以“我对数字生活的态度”为题写一篇不少于60个词的短文。标点符号不占格。） You may want to include: 1.
