One possible version:
Dear Mr Moore,
I'm writing to share some exciting news with you.I won the first prize in the speech competition themed
"Explore the World;Light up the Future"!The moment I heard my name announced as the winner,I was over
the moon and immediately thought of you.
To be honest,when I started my speech,I felt very nervous.I quickly calmed down using the method you
told me.The opening and ending about technology and the future that you helped me revise won applause from
the audience.
I truly appreciate your encouragement and help before the competition.Without you,I couldn't have
achieved this.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
One possible version:
I was a little scared because I had no idea where to go.The hallways were a sea of unfamiliar faces,and the
noise level was overwhelming.I clutched my schedule tightly,trying to navigate through the bustling crowds.
Every now and then,I would bump into someone or get jostled,which only added to my anxiety.Dora had a
different schedule,so I was on my own.I felt like everyone else knew exactly where they were going,while I
was lost in a maze.Suddenly,I heard Jane call my name.She was worried about me.With the help of Jane,I
found my next classroom just as the bell rang.I slipped into a seat,feeling relieved but still nervous about what
the rest of the day would bring.
During lunch,Jane and I joined Dora at a table.At first,I introduced Jane to Dora.Then Dora introduced
us to some of her other friends,and although I was still a bit shy,I tried to join in the conversation.We all
laughed about how awkward the morning had been.It was comforting to have a familiar face and to see that not
everyone was as confident as they seemed.As the day went on,I started to feel more comfortable.I found
myself joking with Jane,my desk mate,during our next class.By the end of the day,I realized that high school
wasn't as intimidating as I had feared,and I was ready to face the challenges ahead with a bit more confidence.

Philo Farnsworth was born in Utah in 1906. The house he lived in for the first few years of his life had no electricity. But Philo read about electricity and began to experiment with it.
One night, Philo read a magazine about the idea of sending pictures' and sound through the air. It said some of the world's best scientists were using special machines to make a kind of device to send pictures. 14-year-old Philo thought these famous scientists were wrong. He decided that mechanical devices would never work.
Philo believed such a device would have to be electronic. All he would have to do was find a way to make electrons do the work. Soon, Philo had an idea for such a receiver. It would trap light in a container and send the light on a line of electrons. Philo called,it “light in a bottle”.
Philo told his teacher about a device that could capture pictures. He drew a plan for it and gave it to his teacher. Philo's drawing seemed simple. But it clearly showed the information needed to build a television. Philo's teacher was Justin Tolman. Many years later, Philo would credit Mr. Tolman with guiding his imagination and helping him open the doors of science.
In 1927, Philo turned on a device that was the first working television receiver. In another room was the first television camera. Philo had invented the special camera tube earlier that year. While the image produced on the receiver was not clear,the device worked.
In 1930, the government gave Philo patent documents to protect his invention. Still, he became involved in legal disputes(纠纷) with a powerful company. Philo won but faced many business and financial difficulties in his life.
He developed over 100 devices that helped make modern television possible. He also developed early radar, invented the first electronic microscope, and worked on developing peaceful uses of atomic energy(原子能). Philo Farnsworth died in 1971. He is considered one of the most important inventors of the 20th century.

A large and unusual tropical fruit is becoming more popular in the US. The jackfruit(菠萝蜜)is native to India. The big, spiky fruit grows in parts of Asia, South America and the Caribbean. It can weigh from 6 to around 30 kilogrammes.
Often used as a meat substitute(替代品),jackfruit has a lot of vitamins and minerals. Its neutral(中性的)flavour works with all kinds of seasonings. Now, with many Americans looking for plant-based alternatives to meat, jackfruit is becoming more popular.
This popularity has been growing for several years, noted Robert Schueller, head of marketing at Melissa's Produce, a specialty produce company based in Los. Angeles,California. “It was about five years ago that the fruit started to really take off," he said."Vegetarians and vegans found out how this fruit could be used as a meat substitute for pulled pork sandwiches and as a taco meat.”
Schueller said Melissa's sales have increased sharply. The company went from selling a few containers of jackfruit each week to thousands of cases weekly.
In many places around the country, jackfruit is appearing not only at vegan and vegetarian restaurants, but also at other places. Tomatillo, for example, a Mexican restaurant in Dobbs Ferry, New York, has.a quesadilla and a taco made with jackfruit. In Chicago, Alulu Brewpub serves Vegan Sicilian Jackfruit Flatbread on a menu that also has pork belly.
Angela Means, owner of the vegan Jackfruit Cafe in Los Angeles, California, says people are choosing a vegan diet for many reasons. These factors cover environmental protection,personal health and moral considerations.
"We eat meat because of the texture and the spices. Jackfruit is a great substitute,”Means said.
“We put it in tacos, and we make sandwiches, like a barbecue pulled 'pork'.”Jackfruit Cafe also serves a “fish patty" made of jackfruit and seaweed.
Means said her restaurant tries to educate people in the community about jackfruit and meat substitutes. She predicted, “In seven to 10 years, jackfruit will be as popular as beef.”28.What is known about the jackfruit?
A.It grows all over the world. B. It is a small tropical fruit.
C. It has a bitter taste. D.It can replace meat in some dishes.
29. How does the author show the increasing popularity of jackfruit?行
线
A.By giving examples. B. By listing its health benefits.
C. By analyzing people's eating habits. D.By comparing it with other fruits.
30. What makes people choose a vegan diet according to Angela Means?
A. Environmental, health and moral concerns.
B.Desire to try new tastes.
C. The low prices of vegan food.
D. The ease of cooking vegan food.
31.Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.Jackfruit: The History in the US B.Is Jackfruit Next Meat Substitute?

A new study has found that ride-sharing services result in much more pollution than other kinds of private and public transportation. Ride-sharing trips also draw passengers away from more environmentally friendly methods of travel, like public transportation, walking or biking, the study found.
Several studies in recent years have suggested ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft can worsen traffic problems in cities, which continue to have high rates of private vehicle ownership. The new research, conducted by a non-profit group, focuses on how ride-sharing impacts pollution in seven major US cities.
Overall, the researchers reported ride-sharing trips now “result in an estimated 69 percent more climate pollution on average than the trips they displace". The study notes that the same passengers could have chosen to travel by bus, train, bike or on foot.
One big reason for this result is that.ride-sharing vehicles are often driven with no passengers in the car. This happens when drivers are either waiting for rider requests, are on the way to pick up passengers or are driving in between pickups.
This situation, known as “deadheading",takes up about 42 percent of all ride-sharing driving activity, the study found. The researchers said deadheading results in about 50 percent more carbon dioxide than one person driving in a private-vehicle.
Both Uber and Lyft do offer a choice of a “pooled” ride, which involves drivers picking up additional riders during the same trip.
The study urges services like Uber and Lyft to work to increase the amount of pooled rides. It also urges the two companies to increase the number of electric vehicles on the road and to improve connections to public transportation centres. However, both companies have previously argued that most studies overstate the pollution effects of their services,pointing out that most vehicles on the road are privately owned. Still, both firms share the goals of increasing pooled rides and using more electric vehicles, and have already introduced electric bike services and integrated public transit(运输) information into their systems.
32.What did the new study find?
A.Public transportation is unpopular.
B.Private vehicle ownership is decreasing.
C.People favour ride-sharing over all others.
D. Ride-sharing harms urban environment.
33. What does the underlined word “deadheading” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A.Long-distance pickups. B. Driving without passengers.
C. Extra fees for empty driving. D.Long waiting times for passengers.
34. What can we infer about Uber and Lyft's attitude towards the new study?
A. They accept its conclusions without reservation.
B. They show little interest in its research methods.
C. They challenge the correctness of its findings.
D. They intend to cooperate with the researchers.
35. What will the text most probably talk about next?
A. The government's measures to limit ride-sharing services.
B. The reasons why private vehicles cause more pollution.
C. The study's further research on public transportation.
D. The specific electric bike services Uber and Lyft introduced.

Laughter is a universal language for humans to connect with each other and form social bonds. Even as babies,we giggle(咯咯笑)when our parents pull funny faces, and then gradually learn to make others laugh as we grow up. But, is it a uniquely human experience? 36
Have you ever seen dogs let people come close to their toy, and then playfully run away with it? Biologist Charles Darwin saw this as the dog's version of a practical joke. Marc Bekoff, biology professor at the University of Colorado, also observed dogs playfully teasing(捉弄)each other by approaching slowly and then quickly running away. 37 And he's also said that animals may spend time doing silly things as a way to cope with stress.
In a 2024 study, Isabelle Laumer and colleagues watched four ape(猿类) species interact with each other. 38 They saw young apes approach quietly behind an adult, push them to surprise them and then wait and watch the response, behaviour similar to that shown by human children. So, a sense of humour may have appeared early in our evolutionary timeline.
39 While playing, dogs sometimes produce a breathy snort(喷鼻息)that could sound like laughter. Dolphins let out sounds of joy when play-fighting. Rats make a joyful squeak similar to a giggle when they are tickled(逗乐),says Jeffrey Burgdorf, professor at Northwestern University.
But, is a rat's giggle really a sign of a sense of humour? Are the apes in Laumer's study really joking around or just attention-seeking? What would be the evolutionary purpose of animals teasing and pranking? “In humans, humour can serve as an ice-breaker, removing social barriers and strengthening relationships,”says Laumer. 40 ”
A.What about laughing?
B.Dogs can hear much better than humans.
C. The sound of their laughter died away.
D. Meanwhile, they observed 18 distinct teasing behaviours.
E.His work concluded that dogs just want tó have fun.
F. We don't know if it's the same in apes or other animals, but it's possible.
G.Scientists have observed behaviours in animals that suggest your pets might be secret jokesters.

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。
Recently, I started my first day of high school. A lot of people build up the first day to be the most intimidating(令人惊恐的)thing. I went from a tiny middle school to this giant high school and was expecting not to know where anything was. I also was panicking because I knew ninth grade would have higher expectations than eighth, and I wasn't sure how I would do at taking on that challenge. The one thing that kept me calm was that my best friend Dora is actually at my new school, so I have someone to talk to or at least go to when I don't know what I'm doing.
I had to take the bus to school, which was not something I'd had to do before. Dora and I took the bus together and we talked the whole way there about how we thought the first day would turn out. When we entered the school, everyone was hugging and saying hi and I was awkwardly standing there and holding onto my friend's bag through the crowd of people. I hated crowds so I stayed with Dora who was probably annoyed by me holding onto her the whole morning. I started to calm down when we all were waiting for the first bell to ring.When Dora and I had to separate, I didn't want to go to class. When I did, I simply stood at the door because I had no idea where to sit. I sat in the way back. My teacher seemed friendly so I was a little calm. My deskmate Jane barely talked, but when she did, she seemed really nice.
Although a lot of students might not laugh when I make a strange joke, they weren't rude. My teachers told us about the high expectations for their school and I was kind of worried because I came from a school where I didn't have too much work or high expectations.After maths class, we need to go to another classroom to have history class.注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I was a little scared because I had no idea where to go.
During lunch, Jane and I joined Dora at a table.
