Power from solar and wind is growing worldwide Percent change in electricity generated,first half of 2024 vs.2025 35% 30.7% 30% 25% 20% 15% 10% 7.79% 59% 2.5% -0.2% -0.6% -2.0% 0% 5% Solar Wind Gas Coal Nuclear Hydropower These findings suggest that moving away from polluting power sources is achievable,even as electricity demand increases dramatically globally.While total fossil()fuel generation saw a slight but significant drop,analysts view this as a"turning point"where emissions()may level off. 英语第1页（共8页） 流只 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描Ap A key driver of this global shift is China.In the first six months of the year,China added more solar and wind capacity than the rest of the world combined.This massive investment led to a 2%fall in its fossil fuel generation and a decrease in emissions.India also mirrored this success,with record solar and wind growth exceeding demand,and a drop in fossil fuel use. However,not all regions showed the same progress.In the U.S.,demand growth outpaced clean power generation,and in the E.U.,slow wind and hydropower(水力发电)contributed to higher coal and gas use.Despite these regional challenges,the overall global trend,strongly influenced by the significant contributions of countries like China,indicates a promising path towards a cleaner energy future. 21.Why did the author present this chart? A.To predict future energy costs. B.To promote specific energy policy. C.To compare energy production cost. D.To illustrate shifting energy trends. 22.What role did China play in the global shift? A.A major investor and driver. B.A unique solution provider. C.A slow adopter with challenges. D.A cautious observer and follower. 23.What is the global trend despite regional differences? A.Fossil fuels will soon be abandoned. B.Global cooperation is urgently needed. C.The future of cleaner energy is encouraging. D.The path to renewable energies remains uncertain. B New author Claire Jia(CJ)explores social comparison,longing and contentment in her novel Wanting,and brings keen observations,personal experiences,and a passion to readers who long for more.The following is an interview of this emerging writer. Q:Your book explores the experience of longing for more in life.What longings in your own life inspired this book? CJ:I always have many desires like my main character Ye.She struggles with questions like Could I go for things that I don't have,and could life be better if I had them?'Wanting raises questions of what you really want rather than what society wants you to want.This is a question I explore in my own life and I want to seize little things as symbols of longing. Q:In the book,Ye struggles with jealousy (toward Luo,her childhood best friend.How does jealousy impact their friendship?Have you ever personally overcome jealousy? CJ:Jealousy is a key theme in the book.Luo who goes to California and comes back is living the dream Ye always thought she would have,but wasn't able to make it happen for herself.It's like salt in the wound.As a television writer in L.A.,I am surrounded by people more successful,younger,and more beautiful.It's very easy to be jealous,and we don't see what others'lives are really like until they confide to us. Q:Do Ye and Luo discover contentment or gratitude()in Wanting? CJ:They are lacking gratitude!Their journey in the book is to discover that.I think they can both be thankful for their lives.But they've not examined deep ways to rebuild their lives. 英语第2页（共8页） CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描ApP Q:What do you hope readers take away from Wanting?

C "I often feel invisible,"David writes."My colleagues don't listen to my ideas,and my friends take me for granted.But every time I think about speaking up,I stop myself,afraid it will only lead to conflict."This feeling shows a struggle shared by many people:the desire to be respected,combined with a fear of upsetting others. At the heart of this dilemma lies the true meaning of assertiveness().Assertiveness is the ability to express one's needs and opinions clearly while still respecting the rights and feelings of others. Yet many people move too far in the opposite direction.Instead of stating what they think,they become passive-apologizing for their views and hoping that problems disappear.Over time,this silence sends a damaging message:their ideas do not matter. A major cause of this passivity is the confusion between assertiveness and aggression(). Aggression is driven by control.It uses rough language,rejects mistakes,and pushes personal goals without regard for others'feelings.Fearing that honest expressions will seem aggressive,people choose silence,often losing respect and building anger. Psychological research suggests that assertiveness is closely linked to mental well-being.Open communication can reduce stress,ease anxiety and depression,and strengthen relationships.For this reason,assertiveness training-once ignored-has returned to the focus of psychologists and educators. Such training usually begins by identifying unhelpful beliefs,such as "If I speak up,I will ruin the relationship,"or "It is safer to stay quiet."These beliefs are then replaced with more balanced ones, like "I can express myself honestly and still be considerate."Practice plays a central role.Besides, people may keep diaries to note when they avoid speaking,practice calm responses through role-play, learn to admit mistakes,ask for others'opinions,and hold their ground without anger. 英语第3页（共8页） CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描Ap In the end,assertiveness is neither about dominating conversations nor about disappearing from them.It is a flexible and respectful way of communicating that protects both self-respect and mutual( respect-and it is a skill that anyone can develop. 28.What can be inferred about David from paragraph 1? A.He is unpopular among his colleagues. B.He lacks the ability to think creatively. C.He holds back his views to prevent tension. D.He feels misunderstood by people around him. 29.Why do some people choose to remain passive? A.To exercise control over others. B.To avoid being seen as aggressive. C.To hide their lack of confidence. D.To challenge their personal beliefs. 30.What can we learn about assertiveness from paragraph 4? A.It is a new field of study. B.It supports emotional health. C.It ignores one's true feelings. D.It affects honest communication 31.What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A.The history of assertiveness training. B.The value of keeping personal diaries. C.Practical methods for developing assertiveness. D.Common mistakes in doing role-play exercises. D The dawn chorus of bird song has inspired poets and nature lovers for thousands of years,but why birds start the day remains a lasting mystery. To explore this,Satoshi Kojima and his colleagues at the Korea Brain Research Institute studied laboratory-raised zebra finches()under carefully controlled conditions. First,the team pushed back the time at which the finches were exposed to sudden bright light to 3 hours later than the actual dawn.The birds were awake but stayed silent in the artificial darkness,and when the lights eventually did come on,the birds sang more intensely than usual.When the lights came on three hours earlier than true dawn,the birds still broke into a chorus,but without the same intensity as when they were forced to wait.In other words,Kojima explains,the longer the break between waking and the start of light,the more intense the dawn chorus becomes. Next,they used the drug luzindole,which blocks the effects of melatonin(褪黑素)，a hormone (released in the night-time to regulate wakefulness cycles in many animals.Birds that were given this drug five hours before the usual lights-on time woke up much earlier and began singing sooner. "Due to the absence of singing during the night,the sound-producing system and song structure may slightly become worse,and the dawn chorus serves to quickly restore or perfect them,says Kojima.While this study only looked at one species,similar drivers may apply to other bird species,he says. 英语第4页（共8页） CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描App But Diego Gil at the National Museum of Natural Sciences in Madrid,Spain,issues a warning. There are "numerous differences between species in how,when and what birds sing in the dawn chorus",he says."This explains why many different assumptions have been proposed to understand the phenomenon." 32.How did Satoshi Kojima and his colleagues conduct their first study? A.By adjusting the light cycles. B.By interpreting the birds'chorus. C.By changing the birds'sleeping time. D.By controlling the effects of melatonin. 33.What can we infer about the drug luzindole? A.It regulates animals'wakefulness cycles. B.It affects birds'wake-up time and singing C.It shortens birds'total sleeping time daily D.It has the same biological effects as melatonin 34.What is Diego Gil's attitude towards the findings of the study? A.Supportive. B.Negative. C.Unclear. D.Doubtful. 35.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Why Birds Break Into Song At Dawn B.How Melatonin Changes Birds'Sleep C.How Artificial Light Changes Birds'Song D.Why Dawn Chorus Differs Among Species 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Do we all see colors in exactly the same way?36 Although we can never truly step inside another person's mind,research suggests that subtle()differences in color perception do exist. 37 The words we use can shape how we notice and remember colors.For example, experiments show that people are faster at distinguishing between two shades when their language provides distinct names for them.This does not mean that speakers of different languages see a different reality;all humans perceive the same spectrum()of visible light.However,naming conventions can influence how quickly we recognize a color or how accurately we recall it later. There is also a common belief that women are better than men at detecting delicate color differences.Is there any truth to this?Some studies show that women perform slightly better in color- naming and memory tests.Yet,many researchers argue that these gaps are minor.38 What about color blindness?It is often misunderstood as "losing"colors,but it is actually more about color confusion.39 For instance,a ripe strawberry might appear green to some,but they still experience a world full of color.For most,this mixing of shades rarely affects their daily life. In short,minor differences in color perception do exist,across individuals,across cultures and even across genders.40 These variations are not great enough to stop us from enjoying the same colorful world around us. 英语第5页（共8页） CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描Ap A.One significant factor is language. B.But human color vision is largely shared. C.Which language has the most words for colors? D.About 1 in 12 men and 1 in 200 women are color blind. E.Red and green are the most common shades to be mixed up. F.They are more likely linked to culture and learning than to gender. G.This question has fascinated philosophers,scientists,and artists for centuries. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。 In June,11-year-old JoJo Zager from Macomb County in Michigan took on a huge challenge.This young determined 41 of the county launched an ambitious yet incredible county-wide food drive, intending to 42 10,000 pounds of food items-all in just 10 days.
