Tiana Barron, founder of Jaxx Fontaine D’eau, a high-quality spring water brand for dogs, regards her bond with animals as her source of healing. Her rescued dog from Hurricane Katrina inspired the business, which she imagined for five years before launching in Orange County. “I’ve given my dog bottled water for years, even before it was common for humans,” she explains. However, her decision to formalize (使规范化) this practice into a business originated from a deeper purpose: “I wanted to honor the unconditional love animals give us. They fill emotional gaps that humans sometimes can’t.”
Scientific studies highlight dogs’ ability to improve mental health — reducing loneliness, stress, and depression. Tiana’s experience aligns with these findings. Her dog helped her address personal struggles, offering companionship even her children couldn’t match. “Animals have pure souls; they’re irreplaceable,” she says. For Tiana, this connection goes beyond practicality — it’s emotional and spiritual.
Launching Jaxx Fontaine D’eau faced considerable barriers: relocating, home redecoration, and financial risks. Yet Tiana carried on it, driven by perseverance and sympathy. “I’m a fighter. I’ve had a tough life, but I always get up and fight again. Everything happens in your journey when it’s supposed to, not when you want,” she asserts. Her journey reflects that she ranks animal welfare over profit. “This isn’t just a business — it’s a tribute to the love dogs deserve,” she adds.
Tiana’s story is not just about business success; it’s about living in grace and trying hard to create a better world. She hopes that her story will inspire others to respect one another, regardless of their differences. “I’m so sensitive to people and emotions, and it upsets me to see division. I don’t care how you choose to live your life, but be nice to each other. We’re not here to judge and be mean,” she emphasizes.
4. What drove Tiana Barron to launch Jaxx Fontaine D’eau?
A. Her appreciation for animals’ love. B. Her belief in dogs’ healing power.
C. Her ambition of making a fortune. D. Her devotion to pet product business.
5. What do the underlined words “aligns with” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Mixes with. B. Relates to. C. Conflicts with. D. Corresponds to.
6. Which of the following best describes Tiana?
A. Determined and caring. B. Considerate and brave.
C. Ambitious and creative. D. Aggressive and sensitive.
7. Which is the best title for the text?
A. Tiana’s Journey: From Struggle to Success
B. More than Water: A Spiritual Tie with Dogs
C. Luxury Water for Dogs: A Business Innovation
D Healing through Loss: A Dog’s Unconditional Love
C
A coating 100 times thinner in thickness than a human hair could be “ink-jetted” onto your backpack, cellphone or car roof to capture the sun’s energy, new research from Oxford University’s physics department shows, in a development that could reduce the world’s need for solar farms that take up massive areas of land.
This micro-thin, light-absorbing material is flexible enough to apply to the surface of almost any building or object, with the potential to generate up to nearly twice the amount of energy of current solar panels. The technology comes at a critical time for the solar power boom as human-caused climate change is rapidly warming the planet, forcing the world to accelerate its transition to clean energy.
Here is how it works: The solar coating is made of materials called perovskites (钙钛矿), which are more efficient at absorbing the sun’s energy than the silicon (硅)-based panels widely used today. That’s because its light-absorbing layers can get a wider range of light from the sun’s spectrum (光谱) than traditional panels. And more light means more energy.
“This is important because it promises more solar power without the need for silicon-based panels or specially-built solar farms,” Junke Wang, one of the Oxford scientists said. “We can fancy perovskite coatings being applied to broader types of surface to generate cheap solar power, such as the roof of cars and buildings and even the backs of mobile phones.” At just over one micrometer thick, the coating is 150 times thinner than a silicon wafer used in today’s solar panels. And unlike existing silicon panels, the perovskites can be applied to almost any surface, including plastics and paper, using tools like an inkjet printer.
A persistent problem with perovskites, however, is stability, which has prevented its developers from commercializing the technology. Some coatings in lab settings have dissolved or broken down over short periods of time, so are regarded as less durable than today’s solar panels.
8. What can we learn from paragraph 1?
A. The coating looks like human hair. B. The solar farm covers much space.
C. The car roof is used to get electricity. D. The cellphone can absorb solar energy.
9. Why is clean energy transition urgent according to the text?
A. Climate change is speeding up global warming.
B. Solar farms are becoming too expensive to build.
C. Perovskite coatings are more efficient than silicon panels.
D. The world needs to produce twice as much energy as before.
10. What makes perovskite better than silicon?
A. It can be made more colorful. B. It can be made a lot cheaper.
C. It absorbs more solar energy. D. It has a wider range of layers.
11. What can be inferred about perovskite panels?
A. They are already popular in daily life. B. Their efficiency is lower than expected.
C. They face barriers to wide application. D. Their production cost is extremely high.
D
In a time when human achievements hit record levels, young people increasingly struggle with growing deep anxiety. The World Happiness Report 2023 shows a worrying pattern: while technology and material comforts improve, teenagers’ self-reported happiness has dropped for eight straight years. This reveals society’s basic misjudgment of what brings fulfillment.
Ancient Greek thinkers knew something modern education often ignores: real satisfaction comes from inner harmony, not outside approval. Socrates’ well-known advice to “know yourself” feels more urgent today. The story of billionaire John Doe proves this: after gaining wealth and fame, he admits in his memoir Empty Mansions, “I spent years climbing ladders to find they were placed against the wrong walls.”
Modern science backs this ancient idea. Dr. Eleanor Richards’ long-term study at Cambridge followed 1,200 successful people for 25 years. Those who focused on internal drives (curiosity, skill-building) had 37% higher life satisfaction than those seeking external rewards (social status, money). The gap lay not in what they achieved, but how they viewed their goals.
This imbalance harms both body and mind. Across cultures, time-tested traditions teach us about sustainable living. Chinese literati like Tao Yuanming in the 5th century chose rural simplicity, finding contentment (满足) through harmony with nature — a philosophy echoed in Thoreau’s Walden Pond experiment. Such wisdom reminds us that purpose-driven living, rather than endless striving, sustains true well-being.
The answer isn’t to avoid ambition, but to rethink success. When Chinese diver Quan Hongchan balanced Olympic training with school life, she showed how athletic excellence and personal growth can coexist. Like gymnast Simone Biles’ brave choice, these athletes remind us that true worth includes both professional achievement and well-being.
As graduation nears, students face key decisions: follow society’s success rules, or build what thinker Alain de Botton calls “true ambition”? This choice shapes both careers and life quality. True success, as Seneca said, is “matching daily actions to core values.” Ultimately, the deepest achievements start within ourselves.
12. What causes the decline in teenagers’ happiness?
A. Absence of successful role models. B. Lack of access to advanced technology.
C. Insufficient focus on achievements. D. Overemphasis on external recognition.
13. What leads to higher life satisfaction in Richards’ study?
A. Focus on personal growth. B. Ability to get wealth and status.
C. Insistence on traditional practices. D. Rejection of modern expectations.
14. What can we learn from paragraph 4?
A. Material wealth blocks true contentment.
B. Isolation from society ensures inner peace.
C. Purpose-driven simplicity guarantees happiness.
D. Harmony with nature improves physical strength.
15 How does the author support the argument?
A. By sharing anecdotes and listing statistics.
B. By comparing views and providing contrasts.
C. By criticizing technology and promoting values.
D By presenting examples and drawing a conclusion.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Rice is not just a food—it’s the heartbeat of cultures, a unifying thread that has connected together the histories, traditions, and daily lives of countless communities across the globe. For billions of people, rice is more than a staple (主食). ___16___ The idea that rice is culture means a lot to many communities for whom rice is not just a meal but a memory, a story passed down through generations.
Yet, today, this vital crop faces never-seen-before threats from climate change. Extreme weather events and shifting agricultural landscapes are making it increasingly difficult to cultivate rice in the traditional ways. Experts predict that global rice production will shrink by 15% by 2050, even as demand increases. ___17___
Rice is a critical source of food for billions of people, but the impact of climate change on the crop goes beyond its nutritional value. Warmer temperatures and extreme weather threaten to erase the cultural stories rooted in each grain. ___18___ What stories will we lose when the next generation can no longer cook the dishes their ancestors did?
We cannot afford to lose rice—or the rich cultures it sustain. We should focus on how to innovate to protect it. For example, we could cut methane (甲烷) emissions by checking the spread of flooding or adding fish, ducks, or crawfish into the production system. ___19___ We can also preserve the cultural heritage tied to this vital grain. The challenge, however, extends beyond just protecting a crop. It’s about innovating to meet the demands of a rapidly changing climate.
___20___ A life without rice is a life without culture. Let’s make sure by working together worldwide that’s a future we never have to face.
A. It’s a symbol of identity, heritage, and survival.
B. The thought of a life without enough food is unthinkable.
C. Decreased production signals a troubling trend for the future.
D What will happen to our cultural identity when the rice fields dry up?
E. In this tough fight against climate change, we all have a role to play.
F. What measures should we take to increase the rice production worldwide?
G. By adopting the methods, we can build an adaptable future for rice cultivation.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In the fifth grade, my deskmate was Mia, a shy but clever girl. Being too shy to raise her hand even when she knew the answer, she didn’t participate in class actively. But I did admire her. I tried to draw her attention, in a rude and stupid way.
One day, I hid her pencil case somewhere in the classroom. When the bell rang, announcing the end of the day, she began to gather her things. Soon, she found her pencil box was gone. She opened her desk drawer: it was not there. She reached into her schoolbag but found nothing. Then she stole a glance at me. I grinned (咧嘴笑) at her, hoping she would enquire of me and then I would get the pencil case out, and then we would talk and laugh happily together. To my surprise, she just lowered her eyes, grabbed her schoolbag, and left without a word.
I kept playing these small but annoying jokes on Mia, thinking Mia would, one day, notice how funny a girl I was, without realizing that she was extremely uneasy.
I escalated (升级) my daily“annoyance”to something bigger on a sunny afternoon, when I happened to get some itching powder (痒痒粉).
I tried it on myself. Feeling a sharp, burning pain, I couldn’t help screaming, which aroused a big laugh from people who didn’t know what was happening. Then it suddenly struck me: Why not share it with Mia? She would know how“interesting”it was. Of course, I would do it in a “joking” way.
So, after the math class, during the break, I slipped behind her and threw a handful of itching powder down her back. Mia jumped up and screamed loudly. So loud and frightened was she that even I myself realized, for the first time, that I did something terribly wrong.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I was called to the teacher’s office.

Tiana Barron, founder of Jaxx Fontaine D’eau, a high-quality spring water brand for dogs, regards her bond with animals as her source of healing. Her rescued dog from Hurricane Katrina inspired the business, which she imagined for five years before launching in Orange County. “I’ve given my dog bottled water for years, even before it was common for humans,” she explains. However, her decision to formalize (使规范化) this practice into a business originated from a deeper purpose: “I wanted to honor the unconditional love animals give us. They fill emotional gaps that humans sometimes can’t.”
Scientific studies highlight dogs’ ability to improve mental health — reducing loneliness, stress, and depression. Tiana’s experience aligns with these findings. Her dog helped her address personal struggles, offering companionship even her children couldn’t match. “Animals have pure souls; they’re irreplaceable,” she says. For Tiana, this connection goes beyond practicality — it’s emotional and spiritual.
Launching Jaxx Fontaine D’eau faced considerable barriers: relocating, home redecoration, and financial risks. Yet Tiana carried on it, driven by perseverance and sympathy. “I’m a fighter. I’ve had a tough life, but I always get up and fight again. Everything happens in your journey when it’s supposed to, not when you want,” she asserts. Her journey reflects that she ranks animal welfare over profit. “This isn’t just a business — it’s a tribute to the love dogs deserve,” she adds.
Tiana’s story is not just about business success; it’s about living in grace and trying hard to create a better world. She hopes that her story will inspire others to respect one another, regardless of their differences. “I’m so sensitive to people and emotions, and it upsets me to see division. I don’t care how you choose to live your life, but be nice to each other. We’re not here to judge and be mean,” she emphasizes.
4. What drove Tiana Barron to launch Jaxx Fontaine D’eau?
A. Her appreciation for animals’ love. B. Her belief in dogs’ healing power.
C. Her ambition of making a fortune. D. Her devotion to pet product business.
5. What do the underlined words “aligns with” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Mixes with. B. Relates to. C. Conflicts with. D. Corresponds to.
6. Which of the following best describes Tiana?

A coating 100 times thinner in thickness than a human hair could be “ink-jetted” onto your backpack, cellphone or car roof to capture the sun’s energy, new research from Oxford University’s physics department shows, in a development that could reduce the world’s need for solar farms that take up massive areas of land.
This micro-thin, light-absorbing material is flexible enough to apply to the surface of almost any building or object, with the potential to generate up to nearly twice the amount of energy of current solar panels. The technology comes at a critical time for the solar power boom as human-caused climate change is rapidly warming the planet, forcing the world to accelerate its transition to clean energy.
Here is how it works: The solar coating is made of materials called perovskites (钙钛矿), which are more efficient at absorbing the sun’s energy than the silicon (硅)-based panels widely used today. That’s because its light-absorbing layers can get a wider range of light from the sun’s spectrum (光谱) than traditional panels. And more light means more energy.
“This is important because it promises more solar power without the need for silicon-based panels or specially-built solar farms,” Junke Wang, one of the Oxford scientists said. “We can fancy perovskite coatings being applied to broader types of surface to generate cheap solar power, such as the roof of cars and buildings and even the backs of mobile phones.” At just over one micrometer thick, the coating is 150 times thinner than a silicon wafer used in today’s solar panels. And unlike existing silicon panels, the perovskites can be applied to almost any surface, including plastics and paper, using tools like an inkjet printer.
A persistent problem with perovskites, however, is stability, which has prevented its developers from commercializing the technology. Some coatings in lab settings have dissolved or broken down over short periods of time, so are regarded as less durable than today’s solar panels.
8. What can we learn from paragraph 1?
A The coating looks like human hair. B. The solar farm covers much space.
C. The car roof is used to get electricity. D. The cellphone can absorb solar energy.
9. Why is clean energy transition urgent according to the text?
A. Climate change is speeding up global warming.
B Solar farms are becoming too expensive to build.
C. Perovskite coatings are more efficient than silicon panels.
D. The world needs to produce twice as much energy as before.
10. What makes perovskite better than silicon?
A. It can be made more colorful. B. It can be made a lot cheaper.
C. It absorbs more solar energy. D. It has a wider range of layers.
11. What can be inferred about perovskite panels?
A. They are already popular in daily life. B. Their efficiency is lower than expected.
C. They face barriers to wide application. D. Their production cost is extremely high.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. C

In a time when human achievements hit record levels, young people increasingly struggle with growing deep anxiety. The World Happiness Report 2023 shows a worrying pattern: while technology and material comforts improve, teenagers’ self-reported happiness has dropped for eight straight years. This reveals society’s basic misjudgment of what brings fulfillment.
Ancient Greek thinkers knew something modern education often ignores: real satisfaction comes from inner harmony, not outside approval. Socrates’ well-known advice to “know yourself” feels more urgent today. The story of billionaire John Doe proves this: after gaining wealth and fame, he admits in his memoir Empty Mansions, “I spent years climbing ladders to find they were placed against the wrong walls.”
Modern science backs this ancient idea. Dr. Eleanor Richards’ long-term study at Cambridge followed 1,200 successful people for 25 years. Those who focused on internal drives (curiosity, skill-building) had 37% higher life satisfaction than those seeking external rewards (social status, money). The gap lay not in what they achieved, but how they viewed their goals.
This imbalance harms both body and mind. Across cultures, time-tested traditions teach us about sustainable living. Chinese literati like Tao Yuanming in the 5th century chose rural simplicity, finding contentment (满足) through harmony with nature — a philosophy echoed in Thoreau’s Walden Pond experiment. Such wisdom reminds us that purpose-driven living, rather than endless striving, sustains true well-being.
The answer isn’t to avoid ambition, but to rethink success. When Chinese diver Quan Hongchan balanced Olympic training with school life, she showed how athletic excellence and personal growth can coexist. Like gymnast Simone Biles’ brave choice, these athletes remind us that true worth includes both professional achievement and well-being.
As graduation nears, students face key decisions: follow society’s success rules, or build what thinker Alain de Botton calls “true ambition”? This choice shapes both careers and life quality. True success, as Seneca said, is “matching daily actions to core values.” Ultimately, the deepest achievements start within ourselves.
12. What causes the decline in teenagers’ happiness?
A. Absence of successful role models. B. Lack of access to advanced technology.
C. Insufficient focus on achievements. D. Overemphasis on external recognition.
13. What leads to higher life satisfaction in Richards’ study?
A. Focus on personal growth. B. Ability to get wealth and status.
C. Insistence on traditional practices. D. Rejection of modern expectations.
14. What can we learn from paragraph 4?
A. Material wealth blocks true contentment.
B. Isolation from society ensures inner peace.
C. Purpose-driven simplicity guarantees happiness.
D. Harmony with nature improves physical strength.
15. How does the author support the argument?
A. By sharing anecdotes and listing statistics.
B. By comparing views and providing contrasts.
C. By criticizing technology and promoting values.
D. By presenting examples and drawing a conclusion.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. D

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In the fifth grade, my deskmate was Mia, a shy but clever girl. Being too shy to raise her hand even when she knew the answer, she didn’t participate in class actively. But I did admire her. I tried to draw her attention, in a rude and stupid way.
One day, I hid her pencil case somewhere in the classroom. When the bell rang, announcing the end of the day, she began to gather her things. Soon, she found her pencil box was gone. She opened her desk drawer: it was not there. She reached into her schoolbag but found nothing. Then she stole a glance at me. I grinned (咧嘴笑) at her, hoping she would enquire of me and then I would get the pencil case out, and then we would talk and laugh happily together. To my surprise, she just lowered her eyes, grabbed her schoolbag, and left without a word.
I kept playing these small but annoying jokes on Mia, thinking Mia would, one day, notice how funny a girl I was, without realizing that she was extremely uneasy.
I escalated (升级) my daily“annoyance”to something bigger on a sunny afternoon, when I happened to get some itching powder (痒痒粉).
I tried it on myself. Feeling a sharp, burning pain, I couldn’t help screaming, which aroused a big laugh from people who didn’t know what was happening. Then it suddenly struck me: Why not share it with Mia? She would know how“interesting”it was. Of course, I would do it in a “joking” way.
So, after the math class, during the break, I slipped behind her and threw a handful of itching powder down her back. Mia jumped up and screamed loudly. So loud and frightened was she that even I myself realized, for the first time, that I did something terribly wrong.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文
I was called to the teacher’s office. Head dropping in shame, tears streaming down my cheeks, I choked apologetically, “I didn’t mean to hurt you. It was just a joke.” I explained everything to my teacher and Mia, saying that I tried hard to be humorous so that Mia could be my friend. My teacher stared at me seriously and then turned to the other tearful girl. She told Mia to tell me how she felt about what I had done. It wasn’t until then that I realized what I thought was a joke was a pain to Mia. I felt really guilty about what I had done to Mia and I begged for her forgiveness.
Mia did forgive me later. She never mentioned those stupid and annoying acts again but she began to talk to me quietly. Gradually, we began to share those girls’ secrets with each other. You could never imagine how grateful I was! I had thought she would never let it go. In my fifth grade, I learnt one of the most important lessons in my life: A joke would be a joke only when “Mia” thinks it is. Humor is appreciated only when it doesn’t hurt anyone.
