【答案】17. C 18. A 19. B 20. B
【解析】
原文】A new museum of laughter in Croatia is helping people deal with the negativity of modern life. Visitors to the HaHaHouse in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, walk into a little cloud of white smoke when they step inside. Its purpose is to blow away their worries before they climb into a “giant washing machine”. Then they move down a twisting slide into a space filled with little white balls where their trip to a happier place starts.
Forty-three-year-old Andrea Golubic is the museum’s creator. Golubic said she got the idea during the pandemic. At that time, many people were feeling down, so she wanted to heal people with laughter. Golubic said a picture of herself when she was seven inspired her. “I was constantly joking as a kid,” she added.
The museum has eight interactive zones or areas. One has rubber chickens singing cheerfully. They sing songs like ABBA’s “Dancing Queen”. There is a room where people wrestle in large clothes. There is also some serious history of humor from ancient to modern times told through theaters, films or the Internet.
Singer Zorica Bucic said the museum was just right for this era. “Entering here is like entering childhood, being relieved of all problems,” she said. Bucic added that if people could come to the museum often, they wouldn’t need to visit a psychologist.

Ramla Ali, Somali-born boxer, model and ambassador of United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) , has spent her life fighting, first for survival, then for change. From escaping Somalia’s civil war to stepping into the Olympic ring, she’s turned her own story of struggle into a powerful mission to uplift others.
Following her brother’s death in the chaos of war, Ali and her family spent a year as refugees (难民) before resettling in London, where Ali chanced upon boxing. What began as a means to prevent herself from being bullied has matured into both a lifelong calling and a source of comfort and a passion. Her amateur career saw her claim England’s National, Great British, and 2019 African Zone Featherweight titles. In 2021 she made history as Somalia’s first Olympic boxer, a symbol of perseverance and determination.
Guided by the belief “You can’t be what you can’t see — if people witness my journey, they may dare to dream too”, Ali journeyed back to Kenya and visited the Dadaab refugee camp with UNICEF in 2025, during which she joined the Kasarani Sasa recycling group, a collective of over 200 refugee women waste pickers, helping sort plastic and cardboard. The program provides childcare, informal education for kids and safe income for struggling mothers. “Witnessing the things firsthand struck me. This could have been me, had I not left. It’s heartbreaking — you want to help everyone, but there’re so many,” Ali said.
At FilmAid Kenya, a learning program teaching the young displaced filmmaking and storytelling, Ali shared how education transformed her life with the students, many of whom dreamed of careers in medicine or psychology, despite hardships. Though moved by a teenager who desired to be a film director after her first exposure to a camera, Ali feared the program, a lifeline for refugee children’s dreams, was at risk from global aid cuts.
Deeply concerned about this, Ali partnered with UNICEF to provide sustained financial backing for refugee children’s education. Meanwhile, she’s expanded her free women’s boxing club worldwide. She made an appeal, saying “If my story can help just one girl see hope, my efforts will be fully worth it.” Ali’s power as a role model stimulates numerous disadvantaged youth’s ambition, lifting them out of despair and into dignity.
24. What initially drew Ramla Ali to boxing?
A. The need for self- defense. B. The desire for pleasure.
C. The pursuit of an athletic career. D. The influence of her brother.
25. What did Ali do in 2025?
A. She set up a recycling program for refugee women.
B. She collected waste materials for UNICEF in person.
C. She organized childcare services in the Dadaab camp.
D. She dedicated herself to a women’s recycling group in Kenya.
26. What was Ali’s major concern about the program FilmAid Kenya?
A. Qualification. B. Accessibility. C. Funding. D. Equipment.
27. Which of the following best summarizes Ramla Ali’s life journey?
A. From a refugee to an advocate. B. From isolation to connection.
C. From ignorance to wisdom. D. From a victim to a victor.
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. C 27. A
【解析】

细节理解题。根据第二段“Following her brother’s death in the chaos of war, Ali and her family spent a year as refugees (难民) before resettling in London, where Ali chanced upon boxing. What began as a means to prevent herself from being bullied has matured into both a lifelong calling and a source of comfort and a passion.(在哥哥死于战乱之后,阿里和家人作为难民辗转流离了一年,随后在伦敦定居。在那里,阿里偶然接触到了拳击。起初,拳击只是她为了免受欺凌而选择的一种方式,后来却逐渐演变成了她毕生的事业,更是慰藉心灵的源泉与热爱所在)”可知,拉姆拉・阿里最初接触拳击是为了自我防卫。故选A项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Guided by the belief “You can’t be what you can’t see — if people witness my journey, they may dare to dream too”, Ali journeyed back to Kenya and visited the Dadaab refugee camp with UNICEF in 2025, during which she joined the Kasarani Sasa recycling group, a collective of over 200 refugee women waste pickers, helping sort plastic and cardboard. (秉持着“你无法成为你看不见的样子——如果人们见证了我的历程,他们或许也敢于去梦想”这一信念,阿里于2025年重返肯尼亚,并在联合国儿童基金会(UNICEF)的陪同下探访了达达阿布难民营。在此期间,她加入了Kasarani Sasa回收小组,这是一个由200多名女性难民垃圾收集者组成的集体,她在那里帮忙分类塑料和纸板)”可知,她在肯尼亚投身于一个女性垃圾回收小组。故选D项。

There was nearly a world without horses. At the end of the last ice age, warming temperatures turned the grasslands where horses roamed into swamps (沼泽地) and forests. Humans hunted them heavily for meat. Wild horses did, in fact, go extinct in North America around 7,600-12,000 years ago. You could say that by stopping hunting and starting to domesticate (驯养) them, humans saved horses.
Humans were forever changed by their horse partnership. Able to gallop at more than 64 kph and to convey heavy objects, horses altered the course of empires and determined victors and losers in battle. They also transformed the way people could hunt, communicate, trade and even dress. Trousers spread only after horses were domesticated, as an innovation for riding. The oldest surviving pairs, dating to 1300 BC, belonged to horsemen.
A number of new books have come out looking at the horse’s impact on human history. David Chaffetz, a scholar of Asian history, focuses his deeply researched, elegantly written Raiders, Rulers and Traders on the interplay, a defining aspect of Chinese, Indian and Persian civilizations, between horse-borne nomads (游牧民族) and settled people. He argues, “What we now call the Silk Road should more accurately be called the Horse Road, for it was the horse, and not silk, that drew buyers and sellers together to form the first large-scale international trading routes.”
Superior horses and horsemanship continued to determine sweeping population movements. Mastery of mounts brought the Huns into Europe, the Arabs into Spain and the Turks into India and Anatolia. Horses also spread the vast Mongol armies under Genghis Khan across nearly the whole of the Eurasian land mass.
A look at the “biotechnology” of the horse explains its usefulness. In terms of power, a horse packs more than ten times that of a human. People still use “horsepower” as a way to quantify power. It is only in the past 100 years, since the invention and spread of automobiles, that horses have become less essential to human civilization and people’s daily lives. However, as these books make clear, it would be unwise to set horses aside in people’s memories. They deserve enduring respect, for their presence changed the world.
28. What caused the extinction of wild horses in North America?
A. Habitat loss and failure to adapt. B. Urban expansion and domestication.
C. Overpopulation and natural enemies. D. Environmental changes and overhunting.
29. Which of the following will David agree with according to his book?
A. Horses were mainly raised and used by settled people.
B. Nomadic people benefited greatly from horse-related trade.
C. Horses were more crucial than silk in trade along ancient routes.
D. Horses were mainly used by settled people for long-distance trade.
30. What is the author’s attitude to the historical role of horses?
A. Critical. B. Admiring. C. Dismissive. D. Neutral.
31. Which can serve as the best title of the text?
A Humans’ Impact on the Horse and Its Civilization Role
B. The Horse: A Forgotten Animal in Human History
C. The Horse: Shaping the Course of Human Civilization
D. The Biological Advantages of Domesticated Horses
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. B 31. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述马曾濒临灭绝,被人类驯养后,深刻影响人类战争、贸易、文明进程,塑造人类文明,值得人类长久尊重与铭记。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“At the end of the last ice age, warming temperatures turned the grasslands where horses roamed into swamps (沼泽地) and forests. Humans hunted them heavily for meat. Wild horses did, in fact, go extinct in North America around 7,600-12,000 years ago.(在上个冰河时代末期,气温升高将马匹栖息的草原变成了沼泽和森林。人类为了获取肉类大量捕杀它们。事实上,野生马匹大约在7600到12000年前在北美灭绝了。)”可知,北美野生马灭绝的原因是环境变化和过度捕猎。故选D项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“He argues, “What we now call the Silk Road should more accurately be called the Horse Road, for it was the horse, and not silk, that drew buyers and sellers together to form the first large-scale international trading routes.”(他主张:“我们现在所说的丝绸之路应该更准确地称为马道,因为是马匹而非丝绸将买卖双方聚集在一起,形成了最初的大型国际贸易通道。”)”可知,David认为在古代商路中,马匹比丝绸更重要。故选C项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, as these books make clear, it would be unwise to set horses aside in people’s memories. They deserve enduring respect, for their presence changed the world.(然而,正如这些书籍所明确的那样,将马匹从人们的记忆中搁置一旁是不明智的。它们值得长久的尊重,因为它们的存在改变了世界。)”可知,作者对马匹的历史作用持赞赏态度。故选B项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文特别是最后一段“A look at the “biotechnology” of the horse explains its usefulness. In terms of power, a horse packs more than ten times that of a human. People still use “horsepower” as a way to quantify power. It is only in the past 100 years, since the invention and spread of automobiles, that horses have become less essential to human civilization and people’s daily lives. However, as these books make clear, it would be unwise to set horses aside in people’s memories. They deserve enduring respect, for their presence changed the world.(审视马的“生物技术”,便能明白其用途之广。论力量,马的体能是人类的十倍有余。如今人们仍在用“马力(horsepower)”来计量动力。直到近百年汽车发明并普及后,马对人类文明与日常生活的重要性才逐渐消退。但正如这些书籍所阐明的,将马从记忆中彻底搁置并非明智之举。它们改变了世界,值得我们永远铭记与敬重。)”可知,文章阐述了马匹从灭绝边缘被拯救后,如何深刻影响人类历史进程、改变帝国命运、推动贸易扩张,最终塑造人类文明,所以C项“The Horse: Shaping the Course of Human Civilization(马:塑造人类文明的历程)”符合文意。故选C项。
D
As global environmental conditions continue to decline, overconsumption, the act of consuming resources in an unsustainable way that outpaces the Earth’s ability to renew them, has emerged as a primary threat to planetary stability. If we keep consuming resources faster than they can regenerate themselves, we will eventually exhaust the ecosystems that sustain all life. Unfortunately, that’s exactly the reality we face. The Millennium Alliance for Humanity and Biosphere warns that global oil reserves could be exhausted by 2052 if overconsumption continues to intensify.
“First and foremost, consumerism drives people to buy far more than they need,” explains Laura Fox, research scholar at Yale Law School. Meanwhile, the issue is largely a byproduct of technological advancement, which has increased production capacity, making goods cheaper and more accessible, while sophisticated advertising algorithms (算法) have affected consumers with endless promotions, enabling brands to target audiences with remarkable precision.
This excessive demand for goods has left a horrible mark on our planet. Overconsumption fuels the constant extraction of resources like oil. The Niger Delta, one of the world’s largest and most biodiverse wetlands, was once a rich ecosystem with thriving farmlands and fisheries. However, nearly a century of oil drilling has released harmful chemicals into the atmosphere, causing acid rain, which damages roofs and building structures, destroys crops, and poisons local water supplies across the area. Worse still, more residents of the Delta suffer from health issues, with rising rates of cancer and other pollution-related illnesses.
So, how can we fight overconsumption? At the individual level, small and consistent changes can make a meaningful difference. Opting for reusable containers over single-use plastics, switching to paperless billing, driving an electric vehicle, and adopting a plant-based diet are all practical ways to reduce our daily resource footprint.
However, some environmental activists argue that the most impactful step individuals can take is simply to spend less money across the board. “If you want a rule of thumb for measuring your consumer impact, the best one is the amount of money you are spending,” said MacKinnon, a Canadian journalist. “If your expenses are increasing, you’re probably increasing your impact and vice versa.”
32. How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph?
A. By quoting an expert. B. By making a comparison.
C. By providing statistics. D. By clarifying a concept.
33. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The impact of advertisements. B. The causes of overconsumption.
C. The solutions to overconsumption. D. The role of consumerism in society.
34. What does the underlined phrase “a rule of thumb” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. A detailed plan. B. A strict policy.
C. A practical guideline. D. A traditional belief.
35. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To highlight the harm of excessive spending. B. To promote a green lifestyle.
C. To stress the value of renewable resources. D. To criticize overproduction.
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文围绕过度消费这一全球现象展开,剖析其成因、危害,并倡导通过选择可持续的生活方式来共同应对这一全球性挑战,守护地球家园。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“As global environmental conditions continue to decline, overconsumption, the act of consuming resources in an unsustainable way that outpaces the Earth’s ability to renew them, has emerged as a primary threat to planetary stability.(随着全球环境状况持续恶化,过度消费—— 即以不可持续的方式消耗资源、其消耗速度超过地球自我修复能力的行为 —— 已成为地球生态稳定的一大主要威胁。)”可知,作者通过界定过度消费的概念来引出该问题。故选D项。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段““First and foremost, consumerism drives people to buy far more than they need,” explains Laura Fox, research scholar at Yale Law School. Meanwhile, the issue is largely a byproduct of technological advancement, which has increased production capacity, making goods cheaper and more accessible, while sophisticated advertising algorithms (算法) have affected consumers with endless promotions, enabling brands to target audiences with remarkable precision.(“首先,消费主义驱使人们购买远超所需的东西,”耶鲁法学院研究学者劳拉・福克斯(Laura Fox)解释道。与此同时,这个问题在很大程度上是技术进步的副产品 —— 技术提升了生产能力,使得商品更便宜、更容易获得;而精密的广告算法则通过无休止的促销活动影响消费者,让品牌能够以极高的精准度锁定目标群体。)”可知,本段主要阐述了过度消费的成因。故选B项。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段“If you want a rule of thumb for measuring your consumer impact, the best one is the amount of money you are spending.(如果你想找衡量消费影响的a rule of thumb,最好的准则就是你的花费金额。)”和“If your expenses are increasing, you’re probably increasing your impact and vice versa.( 如果你的支出在增加,那么你对环境造成的影响可能也在加大,反之亦然。)”以及上下文语境可知,这里指用花费金额作衡量消费影响的实用准则,所以a rule of thumb意为“实用的指导原则”。故选C项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“So, how can we fight overconsumption? At the individual level, small and consistent changes can make a meaningful difference. Opting for reusable containers over single-use plastics, switching to paperless billing, driving an electric vehicle, and adopting a plant-based diet are all practical ways to reduce our daily resource footprint.(那么,我们该如何对抗过度消费呢?在个人层面,微小而持续的改变便能带来显著影响。选择可重复使用的容器而非一次性塑料、改用无纸化账单结算、驾驶电动汽车以及采用植物性饮食,这些都是减少日常资源足迹的实用方法。)”可知,作者写作本文的目的是倡导绿色环保的生活方式。故选B项。

On the Spot: When the Spotlight Breaks Trust
Most of us have been put on the spot in a number of different situations, whether at work or among a group of friends. ___36___ However, you just aren’t ready to give, whether it’s because you don’t know or you’re not willing to share. It is really embarrassing.
We are no stranger to putting others on the spot ourselves, usually by accident. Perhaps we ask a sensitive question of a friend in a group setting, or try to push a quiet coworker to share their answers in a meeting. ___37___
Putting someone on the spot though, whether intentional or not, has the effect of destroying trust in a relationship. The key to maintaining the trust in a relationship is developing your emotional intelligence. ___38___ As Krauss wrote in a recent Psychology Today article, “A sign that you’re not as sensitive as you could be when you pressure people is that others try to stay away from you to the extent that they can.”
___39___ Are people born with the ability to develop a high level of emotional intelligence, or is that something they are taught? Although the answer is probably a little bit of both, strengthening our emotional intelligence is definitely something we can all do. ___40___ Many of us have developed them with time to strengthen our emotional intelligence, whether with the help of a professional or through our own trial-and-error.
A. People are fed up with the dull and long meetings.
B. It can help us understand and handle a confusing situation.
C. A core part of that is being able to perceive how others feel.
D. Sets of eyes turn toward you with the expectations for an answer.
E. There is a debate on whether emotional intelligence is native or not.
F. Listening, empathizing, and reflecting are strategies often acquired later in life.
G. We may even unknowingly touch a nerve with a family member at a casual gathering.
【答案】36. D 37. G 38. C 39. E 40. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了 “让某人陷入窘境(putting someone on the spot)”这一行为对人际关系中信任的破坏作用,并指出情商是维系信任的关键。
【36题详解】
前文“Most of us have been put on the spot in a number of different situations, whether at work or among a group of friends.(我们大多数人都曾在各种不同的情境中面临过被当众质问,无论是工作场合还是与朋友相处时)”说明我们大多数人在工作或朋友群体中都会处于被当众质问的尴尬境地。D选项“Sets of eyes turn toward you with the expectations for an answer.(一双双眼睛转向你,期待着你的回答)”进一步描述了这种被当众质问时的场景,承接上文,符合语境,故选D。
【37题详解】
前文“We are no stranger to putting others on the spot ourselves, usually by accident. Perhaps we ask a sensitive question of a friend in a group setting, or try to push a quiet coworker to share their answers in a meeting.(我们并不罕见地会自己把别人置于尴尬的境地,这种情况往往是因为疏忽所致。比如,在聚会上我们可能会无意间向朋友提出一个敏感的问题,又或者在会议上试图迫使沉默寡言的同事分享自己的想法)”说明我们自己也不陌生于让别人处于尴尬境地,通常是无意为之,比如在群体中对朋友问敏感问题,或在会议上催促安静的同事分享答案,G选项“We may even unknowingly touch a nerve with a family member at a casual gathering.(我们甚至可能在一次随意的聚会中无意中触碰到了家人的痛处)”与前文内容相呼应,都是举例说明无意中让别人处于尴尬境地的情况,因此承接上文,符合语境。故选G。
【38题详解】
前文“The key to maintaining the trust in a relationship is developing your emotional intelligence.(维持一段关系中信任的关键在于提升自己的情商)”说明维持关系中信任的关键是培养情商,C选项“A core part of that is being able to perceive how others feel.(其中关键的一点在于能够理解他人的情绪)”进一步解释了培养情商的核心内容,符合语境。故选C。
【39题详解】
后文“Are people born with the ability to develop a high level of emotional intelligence, or is that something they are taught?(人们是天生就具备高情商能力,还是后天通过学习获得的呢?)”提出人们是天生就有培养高情商的能力,还是后天习得的这个问题,E选项“There is a debate on whether emotional intelligence is native or not.(关于情商是否是与生俱来的这一问题存在争议)”引出了后文关于情商是先天还是后天的讨论,因此符合语境,故选E。
【40题详解】
后文“Many of us have developed them with time to strengthen our emotional intelligence, whether with the help of a professional or through our own trial-and-error.(我们中的许多人都是通过时间的积累来增强自己的情商的,无论是借助专业人士的帮助,还是通过自己不断尝试和摸索)”说明我们很多人都通过时间的积累来增强自己的情商,F选项“Listening, empathizing, and reflecting are strategies often acquired later in life.(倾听、共情和反思是人们在后天逐渐习得的策略)”与后文内容相呼应,说明这些增强情商的能力是后来获得的,故选F。

Guarding Against Cybersecurity Risks
Last week, I attended a lecture on guarding against cybersecurity risks hosted by our school. The lecturer warned us against potential online risks, including cyber cheating, virus attacks and privacy leaks. He also shared some real cases with us, where students suffered financial losses after clicking unsafe links and their personal information was stolen due to weak passwords. Meanwhile, he put forward some practical proposals, such as avoiding suspicious links and setting strong passwords.

67. 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。
I have a black Jaguar. I’ve been driving it to and from work for three years. It looks still brand-new because I always clean and polish it until it shines brightly. But its right door is marked by an ugly, noticeable dent (凹陷) which I’ve never bothered to fix. Whenever asked why, I will shake my head. Only I know it’s a reminder of an unforgettable afternoon.
It was a typical summer. After work, I was driving down a neighborhood street in my Jaguar, going a bit too fast. I was half-listening to the radio, half-watching for kids rushing out from between parked cars, and I slowed down when I thought I saw something move. But as my car passed, no kids appeared. Instead, a brick crashed into the side of my door with a sickening thud (闷响) .
I braked hard and reversed to the spot where the brick had been thrown and then quickly jumped out of the car. There appeared a clear dent on my right door! My blood almost boiled. Seeing a boy, no older than 10, with another brick in his hand, I frowned fiercely, eyes flashing with anger, and stormed to him, “What was that all about?” my voice was tight and sharp. “My car is damaged. Look at this dent…”
“Please mister... Please, I’m sorry... I didn’t know what else to do,” his eyes were filled with terror, a blood stain on his elbow, and he begged. “I’m sorry... No one would stop. My sister fell out of her wheelchair — I can’t lift her up!” He pointed to a parked car, his voice breaking. Besides it, there was his sister, lying on the ground, bleeding from fresh scrapes (擦伤) and cuts. Her wheelchair was tipped over nearby. “Would you please help me get her back into her wheelchair? She’s hurt and she’s too heavy for me,” said the boy. Hearing this, I felt upset and the anger that had burned in my chest a moment ago vanished completely, replaced by a rush of shock and overwhelming guilt.
注意:

I rushed over to the girl, knowing exactly what to do.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Leaving the hospital, I looked at the dent on my car.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Possible version
I rushed over to the girl, knowing exactly what to do. I knelt down carefully, my hands gentle as I avoided the girl’s bleeding scrape. “They look serious and we need to go to the hospital!” I glanced at the boy standing beside me. He nodded repeatedly, tears blurring his eyes but relief softening his tense shoulders. Instead of lifting the girl back into the wheelchair, I got her into the back seat of my Jaguar, totally ignoring the dent. “Don’t worry; we’ll get help soon,” I said, my voice warm and steady, trying to make up for my earlier harshness. After putting the wheelchair into my trunk, we hurried to the hospital, where the girl got timely and effective treatment. “Thank you so much for helping me,” the girl said softly, her voice trembling with gratitude.
Leaving the hospital, I looked at the dent on my car. It was still there like a scar. The sun shone on the polished body of the Jaguar, making the ugly mark even more noticeable, but I felt no annoyance, only a calm gratitude. I reached out and traced the edge of the dent with my fingertips, my mind replaying the boy’s plea and the girl’s soft weep. Possible version 1 This dent, which I once wanted to fix immediately, is now my most precious reminder: to slow down, to set aside my own haste, and to never ignore someone in need. I will never fix it, for it is not a flaw — it is a lesson that I carry with me every time I drive.
Possible version 2
The dent on my Jaguar still there, a permanent mark. But it no longer felt like damage. It felt like a reminder — a reminder that sometimes, the “brick” that hits you isn’t an attack. It’s a cry for help, a chance to slow down, to see the world beyond your own speed, and to be the person who stops. To this day, that dent is still on my car. And I’ll never fix it.
Possible version 3
It reminds me every day to slow down, to set aside my own haste, and to never ignore someone in need. I don’t fix it because it’s not a flaw; it’s a gift, a constant reminder of the day a small boy’s courage taught me what truly matters in life.

Ramla Ali, Somali-born boxer, model and ambassador of United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) , has spent her life fighting, first for survival, then for change. From escaping Somalia’s civil war to stepping into the Olympic ring, she’s turned her own story of struggle into a powerful mission to uplift others.
Following her brother’s death in the chaos of war, Ali and her family spent a year as refugees (难民) before resettling in London, where Ali chanced upon boxing. What began as a means to prevent herself from being bullied has matured into both a lifelong calling and a source of comfort and a passion. Her amateur career saw her claim England’s National, Great British, and 2019 African Zone Featherweight titles. In 2021 she made history as Somalia’s first Olympic boxer, a symbol of perseverance and determination.
Guided by the belief “You can’t be what you can’t see — if people witness my journey they may dare to dream too”, Ali journeyed back to Kenya and visited the Dadaab refugee camp with UNICEF in 2025, during which she joined the Kasarani Sasa recycling group, a collective of over 200 refugee women waste pickers, helping sort plastic and cardboard. The program provides childcare, informal education for kids and safe income for struggling mothers. “Witnessing the things firsthand struck me. This could have been me, had I not left. It’s heartbreaking — you want to help everyone, but there’re so many,” Ali said.
At FilmAid Kenya, a learning program teaching the young displaced filmmaking and storytelling, Ali shared how education transformed her life with the students, many of whom dreamed of careers in medicine or psychology, despite hardships. Though moved by a teenager who desired to be a film director after her first exposure to a camera, Ali feared the program, a lifeline for refugee children’s dreams, was at risk from global aid cuts.
Deeply concerned about this, Ali partnered with UNICEF to provide sustained financial backing for refugee children’s education. Meanwhile, she’s expanded her free women’s boxing club worldwide. She made an appeal, saying “If my story can help just one girl see hope, my efforts will be fully worth it.” Ali’s power as a role model stimulates numerous disadvantaged youth’s ambition, lifting them out of despair and into dignity.
24. What initially drew Ramla Ali to boxing?
A. The need for self- defense. B. The desire for pleasure.
C. The pursuit of an athletic career. D. The influence of her brother.
25. What did Ali do in 2025?
A. She set up a recycling program for refugee women.
B. She collected waste materials for UNICEF in person.
C. She organized childcare services in the Dadaab camp.
D. She dedicated herself to a women’s recycling group in Kenya.
26. What was Ali’s major concern about the program FilmAid Kenya?
A. Qualification. B. Accessibility. C. Funding. D. Equipment.
27. Which of the following best summarizes Ramla Ali’s life journey?
A. From a refugee to an advocate. B. From isolation to connection.
C. From ignorance to wisdom. D. From a victim to a victor.
C
There was nearly a world without horses. At the end of the last ice age, warming temperatures turned the grasslands where horses roamed into swamps (沼泽地) and forests. Humans hunted them heavily for meat. Wild horses did, in fact, go extinct in North America around 7,600-12,000 years ago. You could say that by stopping hunting and starting to domesticate (驯养) them, humans saved horses.
Humans were forever changed by their horse partnership. Able to gallop at more than 64 kph and to convey heavy objects, horses altered the course of empires and determined victors and losers in battle. They also transformed the way people could hunt, communicate, trade and even dress. Trousers spread only after horses were domesticated, as an innovation for riding. The oldest surviving pairs, dating to 1300 BC, belonged to horsemen.
A number of new books have come out looking at the horse’s impact on human history. David Chaffetz, a scholar of Asian history, focuses his deeply researched, elegantly written Raiders, Rulers and Traders on the interplay, a defining aspect of Chinese, Indian and Persian civilizations, between horse-borne nomads (游牧民族) and settled people. He argues, “What we now call the Silk Road should more accurately be called the Horse Road, for it was the horse, and not silk, that drew buyers and sellers together to form the first large-scale international trading routes.”
Superior horses and horsemanship continued to determine sweeping population movements. Mastery of mounts brought the Huns into Europe, the Arabs into Spain and the Turks into India and Anatolia. Horses also spread the vast Mongol armies under Genghis Khan across nearly the whole of the Eurasian land mass.
A look at the “biotechnology” of the horse explains its usefulness. In terms of power, a horse packs more than ten times that of a human. People still use “horsepower” as a way to quantify power. It is only in the past 100 years, since the invention and spread of automobiles, that horses have become less essential to human civilization and people’s daily lives. However, as these books make clear, it would be unwise to set horses aside in people’s memories. They deserve enduring respect, for their presence changed the world.
28. What caused the extinction of wild horses in North America?
A. Habitat loss and failure to adapt. B. Urban expansion and domestication.
C. Overpopulation and natural enemies. D. Environmental changes and overhunting.
29. Which of the following will David agree with according to his book?
A. Horses were mainly raised and used by settled people.
B. Nomadic people benefited greatly from horse-related trade.
C. Horses were more crucial than silk in trade along ancient routes.
D. Horses were mainly used by settled people for long-distance trade.
30. What is the author’s attitude to the historical role of horses?
A. Critical. B. Admiring. C. Dismissive. D. Neutral.
31. Which can serve as the best title of the text?
A. Humans’ Impact on the Horse and Its Civilization Role
B The Horse: A Forgotten Animal in Human History
C. The Horse: Shaping the Course of Human Civilization
D. The Biological Advantages of Domesticated Horses
D
As global environmental conditions continue to decline, overconsumption, the act of consuming resources in an unsustainable way that outpaces the Earth’s ability to renew them, has emerged as a primary threat to planetary stability. If we keep consuming resources faster than they can regenerate themselves, we will eventually exhaust the ecosystems that sustain all life. Unfortunately, that’s exactly the reality we face. The Millennium Alliance for Humanity and Biosphere warns that global oil reserves could be exhausted by 2052 if overconsumption continues to intensify.
“First and foremost, consumerism drives people to buy far more than they need,” explains Laura Fox, research scholar at Yale Law School. Meanwhile, the issue is largely a byproduct of technological advancement, which has increased production capacity, making goods cheaper and more accessible, while sophisticated advertising algorithms (算法) have affected consumers with endless promotions, enabling brands to target audiences with remarkable precision.
This excessive demand for goods has left a horrible mark on our planet. Overconsumption fuels the constant extraction of resources like oil. The Niger Delta, one of the world’s largest and most biodiverse wetlands, was once a rich ecosystem with thriving farmlands and fisheries. However, nearly a century of oil drilling has released harmful chemicals into the atmosphere, causing acid rain, which damages roofs and building structures, destroys crops, and poisons local water supplies across the area. Worse still, more residents of the Delta suffer from health issues, with rising rates of cancer and other pollution-related illnesses.
So, how can we fight overconsumption? At the individual level, small and consistent changes can make a meaningful difference. Opting for reusable containers over single-use plastics, switching to paperless billing, driving an electric vehicle, and adopting a plant-based diet are all practical ways to reduce our daily resource footprint.
However, some environmental activists argue that the most impactful step individuals can take is simply to spend less money across the board. “If you want a rule of thumb for measuring your consumer impact, the best one is the amount of money you are spending,” said MacKinnon, a Canadian journalist. “If your expenses are increasing, you’re probably increasing your impact and vice versa.”
32. How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph?
A. By quoting an expert. B. By making a comparison.
C. By providing statistics. D. By clarifying a concept.
33. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The impact of advertisements. B. The causes of overconsumption.
C. The solutions to overconsumption. D. The role of consumerism in society.
34. What does the underlined phrase “a rule of thumb” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. A detailed plan. B. A strict policy.
C. A practical guideline. D. A traditional belief.
35. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To highlight the harm of excessive spending. B. To promote a green lifestyle.
C. To stress the value of renewable resources. D. To criticize overproduction.

On the Spot: When the Spotlight Breaks Trust
Most of us have been put on the spot in a number of different situations, whether at work or among a group of friends. ___36___ However, you just aren’t ready to give, whether it’s because you don’t know or you’re not willing to share. It is really embarrassing.
We are no stranger to putting others on the spot ourselves, usually by accident. Perhaps we ask a sensitive question of a friend in a group setting, or try to push a quiet coworker to share their answers in a meeting. ___37___
Putting someone on the spot though, whether intentional or not, has the effect of destroying trust in a relationship. The key to maintaining the trust in a relationship is developing your emotional intelligence. ___38___ As Krauss wrote in a recent Psychology Today article, “A sign that you’re not as sensitive as you could be when you pressure people is that others try to stay away from you to the extent that they can.”
___39___ Are people born with the ability to develop a high level of emotional intelligence, or is that something they are taught? Although the answer is probably a little bit of both, strengthening our emotional intelligence is definitely something we can all do. ___40___ Many of us have developed them with time to strengthen our emotional intelligence, whether with the help of a professional or through our own trial-and-error.
A. People are fed up with the dull and long meetings.
B. It can help us understand and handle a confusing situation.
C. A core part of that is being able to perceive how others feel.
D. Sets of eyes turn toward you with the expectations for an answer.
E. There is a debate on whether emotional intelligence is native or not.
F. Listening empathizing, and reflecting are strategies often acquired later in life.
G. We may even unknowingly touch a nerve with a family member at a casual gathering.

On a cold winter morning, the Gatton Landfill west of Brisbane was already full of activity. Tim, a heavy machine operator living a ___41___ life to support his family, began his shift as usual. As he pushed a pile of general waste, he ___42___ a finely-made wooden box, half-buried under plastic bags.
Feeling a strong sense of ___43___, he quickly turned off the loud machine, jumped down from the cabin, and carefully picked up the box, ___44___ the dirt with his thick gloves. Upon opening it, Tim’s breath caught. Inside lay four old war medals, shining on faded velvet (天鹅绒), their ribbons still ___45___ after all those years. Recently worried about his son’s tuition fees, he felt his heart ___46___ as he thought of selling the medal. Meanwhile, an inner voice sounded quietly, “The owner must have been a hero.” The ___47___ made him give up the idea and determined to do the right thing, holding the box firmly as if protecting an easily-lost legacy.
Reporting the find to his superior, Tim learned the ___48___ ahead — without any names or marks on the medals. He spent days off work looking for ___49___, checking community notices and records with his co-workers. Just as hope was fading, an old woman called, her voice shaking as she spoke about her grandfather’s lost World War II medals. The ___50___ matched completely — the special pattern on one medal ___51___ the identity. When Tim handed her the box, tears rolled down her wrinkled face. “My grandfather ___52___ his unit (小队) by carrying injured soldiers to safety,” she said softly. Going viral on social media, Tim’s deed earned Councilor Julie Re’s ___53___ for his honesty.
But for Tim, the real reward was the woman’s ___54___ smile. That day, he realized that even in tough times, ___55___ shines brightest.

If it read “Made in China”, she shook her head and quickly put the ___56___ (reject) piece back to its rightful place on the rack. What was drilled into me from an early age was that anything Made in China was bad. Anything made anywhere else was good. And ___57___ it was made somewhere in Europe, it was super good. ___58___ (look) back on it now, we can find this was the darkest time for “Made in China”. It was believed that ___59___ China manufactured was of low quality, unsafe, and cheap.
Over the past several decades, China ___60___ (go) through tremendous technological advancements, rising to become the “world’s factory”. Even the United States, once a major manufacturing powerhouse, now relies heavily on Chinese-made items. Actually, it’s hard to imagine an American home ___61___ Chinese products, because many of their essentials are imported almost entirely from China. America’s ___62___ (rely) on China is easy to see in every corner of their house, such as dishes, cooking gadgets in the kitchen, makeup brushes in the bathroom, and TV sets in the living room. Today, China makes nearly one of every three physical products in the world — more than the combined total of the United States, Germany, Japan, South Korea and Britain.
The situation in China is also ___63___ far cry from the past. Chinese consumers are less attached to foreign goods. They constantly remind ___64___ (they) to judge products not by blind faith in foreign brands, but by quality. Meanwhile, the remarkable rise of Made in China stands as one of the most ___65___ (persuade) success stories of our time.

67. 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。
I have a black Jaguar. I’ve been driving it to and from work for three years. It looks still brand-new because I always clean and polish it until it shines brightly. But its right door is marked by an ugly, noticeable dent (凹陷) which I’ve never bothered to fix. Whenever asked why, I will shake my head. Only I know it’s a reminder of an unforgettable afternoon.
It was a typical summer. After work, I was driving down a neighborhood street in my Jaguar, going a bit too fast. I was half-listening to the radio, half-watching for kids rushing out from between parked cars, and I slowed down when I thought I saw something move. But as my car passed, no kids appeared. Instead, a brick crashed into the side of my door with a sickening thud (闷响) .
I braked hard and reversed to the spot where the brick had been thrown and then quickly jumped out of the car. There appeared a clear dent on my right door! My blood almost boiled. Seeing a boy, no older than 10, with another brick in his hand, I frowned fiercely, eyes flashing with anger, and stormed to him, “What was that all about?” my voice was tight and sharp. “My car is damaged. Look at this dent…”
“Please mister... Please, I’m sorry... I didn’t know what else to do,” his eyes were filled with terror, a blood stain on his elbow, and he begged. “I’m sorry... No one would stop. My sister fell out of her wheelchair — I can’t lift her up!” He pointed to a parked car, his voice breaking. Besides it, there was his sister, lying on the ground, bleeding from fresh scrapes (擦伤) and cuts. Her wheelchair was tipped over nearby. “Would you please help me get her back into her wheelchair? She’s hurt and she’s too heavy for me,” said the boy. Hearing this, I felt upset and the anger that had burned in my chest a moment ago vanished completely, replaced by a rush of shock and overwhelming guilt.
