【解析】
【原文】M: Good afternoon, dear listeners. In today’s program, I’d like to talk about a common exercise. Many people love running early in the morning. Why? Actually it has many benefits. Not only will you begin a day more relaxed, but also you’ve already had a sense of achievement. If you’re also eager to enjoy the benefits of a morning run, try these. First, getting ready for a painful start. To many people, getting up early in the morning can be a great pain, especially in cold winter days. So early to bed, early to rise, and make it a habit. Of equal importance is to keep an open mind. Even if you’ve made enough preparation and determination, there are still times, when you want to quit. My advice is to accept the setback and instead of giving up, keep going. Another helpful way is to find someone to be together with you. This can make things more interesting. He or she not only gives you company, but also serves as a monitor.

Many changes have taken place at the school over the summer. As well as a new group of students, we’re also welcoming some new members of staff. They’re Mr Smith, who will be teaching physics, Miss Chang, the new Chinese teacher and our new boys’ PE coach, Mr Black.
You will also notice several changes to the school buildings. Computer classes will now take place in the new technology center, which is behind the teaching building. The old computer rooms are now a part of the library, which is now much bigger and collects thousands of new books. The school meeting hall has been much improved, and we now have a proper place to perform concerts and plays.
Though there are many changes in our school, the rules remain the same. Be on time, and always do your best. Thank you!

2025 marked a new chapter for cultural exchange between China and Germany, especially in the field of ceramic art. This cross-cultural dialogue was led by Li Wei, a renowned Chinese ceramic artist who has dedicated over 20 years to reviving traditional Jingdezhen porcelain techniques while blending modern design elements.
Li’s latest project, named “Clay & Creativity”, was mounted at the Berlin University of the Arts in March. The initiative brought together 15 design students from Germany’s top art schools and 10 Chinese ceramic craftsmen for a three-month collaborative program. Unlike typical cultural exchange events that only showcase finished artworks, “Clay & Creativity” focused on hands-on learning: students learned to shape porcelain using ancient Chinese methods, while craftsmen absorbed Western concepts of minimalism and functional design.
Li was not the only one bridging cultural gaps through ceramic art. International brands have also recognized the value of combining Eastern craftsmanship with Western design. In April, luxury homeware brand Villeroy & Boch partnered with a Jingdezhen ceramic studio to create a limited-edition tableware series. Meanwhile, the German Design Council organized a workshop in Shanghai, inviting Chinese artisans to share their skills with European designers. However, Li’s project stood out for its emphasis on grassroots interaction rather than commercial cooperation. “True cultural exchange happens when people create together, not just trade products,” Li explained in an interview with a design magazine.
One of the standout participants was Lina Schmidt, a twenty-two-year-old German student. Her final piece — a porcelain teapot that merged Chinese blue-and-white patterns with German Bauhaus geometric shapes — was selected to be exhibited at the Munich Design Museum later this year. “Working with Master Li completely changed my understanding of ceramic art,” Schmidt said. “He taught us that tradition isn’t a fixed rule but a living language that can be reimagined. This experience made me realize how much Eastern and Western design can learn from each other.”
24. What is the main focus of Li Wei’s “Clay & Creativity” project?
A. Training craftsmen in Western design concepts.
B. Showcasing finished ceramic artworks in Berlin.
C. Promoting commercial trade of porcelain products.
D. Offering hands-on collaborative learning experiences.
25. Why does the author mention Villeroy & Boch and the German Design Council?
A. To illustrate broader efforts in cultural integration.
B. To highlight the popularity of Jingdezhen porcelain.
C. To compare their approaches with Li Wei’s project.
D. To prove the commercial value of modern ceramic art.
26. What makes Li Wei’s project different from other similar initiatives?
A. It involves more international students and craftsmen.
B. It has received support from top international brands.
C. It aims to revive traditional Chinese porcelain techniques.
D. It focuses on grassroots creative cooperation instead of business.
27. What does Lina Schmidt think of her experience with Li Wei?
A. It helped her master fixed traditional ceramic rules.
B. It made her realize the superiority of Eastern design.
C. It encouraged her to focus on commercial ceramic design.
D. It inspired her to combine different design styles creatively.
【答案】24. D 25. A 26. D 27. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了2025年中德陶瓷艺术交流开启新篇章。中国陶艺家李伟主导“泥土与创意”项目,汇聚中德师生与工匠,以实践合作替代商业展示,强调共创而非交易,促成跨文化深层对话。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Unlike typical cultural exchange events that only showcase finished artworks, ‘Clay & Creativity’ focused on hands-on learning: students learned to shape porcelain using ancient Chinese methods, while craftsmen absorbed Western concepts of minimalism and functional design.(与通常只展示成品的艺术交流活动不同,‘泥土与创意’项目侧重于实践学习:学生们学习使用中国古代方法塑造陶瓷,而工匠们则吸收了西方的极简主义和功能设计理念)”可知,该项目专注于实践学习。D项Offering hands-on collaborative learning experiences.(提供实践性的合作学习体验)符合题意。故选D项。
【25题详解】

In April, luxury homeware brand Villeroy & Boch partnered with a Jingdezhen ceramic studio to create a limited-edition tableware series. Meanwhile, the German Design Council organized a workshop in Shanghai, inviting Chinese artisans to share their skills with European designers. (通过陶瓷艺术来弥合文化差异的并非只有李伟一人。国际品牌也认识到将东方工艺与西方设计相结合的价值。4月,奢侈家居品牌维勒罗伊与博赫与景德镇的一家陶瓷工作室合作,推出了一款限量版餐具系列。与此同时,德国设计委员会在上海举办了一场研讨会,邀请了中国工匠与欧洲设计师分享他们的技艺)”可知,作者举例表明很多人都认识到了东方工艺与西方设计相结合的价值。由此可知,A项To illustrate broader efforts in cultural integration.(为了说明在文化融合方面所做的更广泛的努力)符合题意。故选A项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“However, Li’s project stood out for its emphasis on grassroots interaction rather than commercial cooperation. (然而,李伟的项目因其强调基层交流而非商业合作而脱颖而出)”可知,他的项目与众不同之处就是他强调基层交流而非商业合作。故选D项。

The fountain (喷泉) show of a famous hotel, on the Las Vegas Strip, attracts many visitors every day. But on Tuesday, March 5, this tradition had to be stopped for a unique guest. A yellow-billed loon, a bird not usually found on the mainland of the U.S., landed in the fountain.
“We are happy to welcome the unique guest,” wrote the hotel team on Twitter. They then announced that the fountains had been stopped and that they were working with state wildlife officials to rescue the bird, which had “found comfort in our little lake.”
It is extremely rare (罕见的) to see a yellow-billed loon in the Las Vegas area, as it usually makes its home in the Arctic and along the Pacific mainland. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has listed it as “vulnerable” meaning it could be at risk of endangerment (受到危害) in the future, while the National Park Service (NPS) considers it to be one of the ten rarest birds that breed (繁殖) on the mainland of the United States, adding that about 20%-25% of the global population visits Alaska seasonally.
“It’s an odd thing that it would come to the hotel’s fountains, where there are so many people,” said Kurt Buzard of the Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve. According to him, the yellow-billed loon is a younger bird that might have gotten lost while trying to travel north along the coast, where most yellow-billed loons travel. “It’s really off-course here. Very unusual to see a bird like that here.”
At first, officials from the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) decided it was best not to trouble the bird, giving it a day to work it out on its own. But when Wednesday came, they were worried about the absence of food the loon may face if it stayed there, so they caught the bird. Once they made sure it was unharmed and in good health, it was transported to the Wetlands, an area about 5 miles from the Strip, where it had plenty of food and water.
28. What happened to the fountain show on Tuesday?
A. It was turned off because of an emergency. B. It had a special mix of music and lights.
C. It drew a large number of visitors. D. It was canceled for repair work.
29. Why does the author mention IUCN and NPS in paragraph 3?
A. To stress the yellow-billed loon’s rareness and survival situation.
B. To discuss the yellow-billed loon’s living place preferences.
C. To explain the yellow-billed loon’s seasonal visits to Alaska.
D. To introduce the yellow-billed loon’s breeding models.
30. What does the underlined word “odd” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Interesting. B. Surprising. C. Difficult. D. Natural.
31. What was the NDOW officials’ first reaction to the bird?
A. To leave it alone. B. To inform its owner.
C. To check its condition. D. To move it somewhere else.
【答案】28. A 29. A 30. B 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道,主要讲的是拉斯维加斯大道上一家著名酒店的喷泉表演因一只罕见黄嘴潜鸟的意外到访而暂停,酒店团队与野生动物保护部门合作对这只迷路的鸟进行救援,并最终将其安全转移至有充足食物和水的湿地保护区的故事。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“But on Tuesday, March 5, this tradition had to be stopped for a unique guest. A yellow-billed loon, a bird not usually found on the mainland of the U.S., landed in the fountain.(然而,在3月5日星期二,这一传统却因一位特殊的“客人”而暂停。一只黄嘴潜鸟——这种鸟通常不会出现在美国本土——落在了喷泉里。)”可知,周二的喷泉表演因紧急情况而关闭了。故选A。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“It is extremely rare (罕见的) to see a yellow-billed loon in the Las Vegas area, as it usually makes its home in the Arctic and along the Pacific mainland. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has listed it as “vulnerable” meaning it could be at risk of endangerment (受到危害) in the future, while the National Park Service (NPS) considers it to be one of the ten rarest birds that breed (繁殖) on the mainland of the United States, adding that about 20%-25% of the global population visits Alaska seasonally.(在拉斯维加斯地区看到黄嘴潜鸟极为罕见,因为它们通常栖息在北极地区以及太平洋沿岸。国际自然保护联盟(IUCN)已将黄嘴潜鸟列为“易危”物种,意味着它们未来可能面临灭绝的风险。而美国国家公园管理局(NPS)则认为,黄嘴潜鸟是美国本土十种最稀有的繁殖鸟类之一,并补充说,全球约20%至25%的黄嘴潜鸟会季节性地前往阿拉斯加。)”可知,作者在第三段提到IUCN和NPS是为了强调黄嘴潜鸟的稀有性和生存状况。故选A。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“it would come to the hotel’s fountains, where there are so many people(它竟然会来到酒店喷泉这里,这里人这么多)”和“It’s really off-course here. Very unusual to see a bird like that here.(它在这里偏离了路线。能在这里看到这样的鸟儿真是太罕见了。)”可知,这样的鸟来到喷泉这里是奇怪的事情,odd的意思是“奇怪的,反常的”,和surprising意思相近。故选B。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“At first, officials from the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) decided it was best not to trouble the bird, giving it a day to work it out on its own.(起初,内华达州野生动物部的官员认为最好不要打扰这只鸟,给它一天时间自行解决这个问题。)”可知,内华达州野生动物部门(NDOW)的官员对这只鸟的第一反应是不去管它。故选A。
D
Some of the world’s most important scientists think the idea of people living on Mars will come true one day. Stephen Hawking believed humans must move into space to survive. “Once we spread out into space and establish independent colonies, our future should be safe.” he said. Robert Zubrin, a rocket scientist, agrees and thinks starting with Mars makes the most sense. He thinks sending people to Mars will allow us to learn a lot—for example, about the ability of humans to live in a very different environment.
However, scientists will need to terraform Mars for people to be able to live. Terraforming means changing the environment on a planet so that it is similar to Earth’s. One of the main goals of terraforming Mars is to warm it up because the average temperature there is about -60℃. One idea for warming Mars is to build factories there that produce greenhouse gases. This could take many centuries. However, it should lead to rainfall and the growth of plants, resulting in more air that people can breathe.
Another big concern for scientists is whether humans can move to Mars and still stay healthy in mind and body. As a test, six people lived in a Mars-like environment in Hawaii for a year before “returning to Earth” recently. It was a 1,200-square-foot room that was on the side of a volcano and used the sun for energy. Christiane Heinicke, one of the people who lived there, said that one of the biggest issues was feeling bored. So humans on Mars would always need to keep themselves busy with various activities. Another important finding was that the people living together should all be able to get along and work together.
One particular organization based in Europe is planning to send the first humans to Mars before 2030.The organization believes that its project is giving people worldwide the chance to be part of the first human crew ever to live on Mars for good. However, many experts think the project’s cost of US $6 billion is too low for it to be successful. The American space agency NASA believes that sending people to Mars would cost about US $100 billion, although this estimate is based on bringing them back to Earth, too. Regardless, it seems that humans living on Mars may well happen a lot sooner than most people believe.
32. Why choose Mars first?
A. It has no extreme cold. B. It’s fit for quick terraforming.
C. It helps study human adaptability. D. It’s closer than other planets.
33. What worries scientists most?
A. Greenhouse gas shortage B. Human physical/mental health
C. Lack of funding for factories D. Volcanoes on Mars’ surface
34. What is the connection between Hawaii test and Mars life?
A. Both need sun energy use B. Both require team cooperation
C. Both have 1,200-square-foot space D. Both last exactly one year
35. How is the 2030 Mars plan viewed?
A. Cost estimate is too low. B. It can finish terraforming first.
C. NASA will fund it fully. D. It ignores health risks.
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. B 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人类移居火星的可行性、所需的地球化改造、面临的身心健康挑战及相关项目计划与成本争议。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Robert Zubrin, a rocket scientist, agrees and thinks starting with Mars makes the most sense. He thinks sending people to Mars will allow us to learn a lot—for example, about the ability of humans to live in a very different environment.(火箭科学家Robert Zubrin对此表示赞同,并认为从火星开始最具意义。他认为,将人类送上火星能让我们学到很多东西 —— 例如,关于人类在截然不同的环境中生存的能力。)”可知,选择火星作为首个移居目标的原因是它能帮助人类研究在截然不同环境中的生存适应能力。故选C。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Another big concern for scientists is whether humans can move to Mars and still stay healthy in mind and body.(科学家们另一个重大担忧是,人类移居火星后能否保持身心健康。)”可知,科学家们最担忧的是人类移居火星后能否保持身心健康。故选B。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Another important finding was that the people living together should all be able to get along and work together.(另一个重要发现是,同住的人必须能够和睦相处、通力合作。)”可知,夏威夷类火星环境测试的重要发现之一是同住者需和睦相处、通力合作,这与火星上人类居住所需的团队协作能力直接相关。故选B。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“However, many experts think the project’s cost of US $6 billion is too low for it to be successful.(然而,许多专家认为,该项目60亿美元的成本过低,难以成功。)”可知,对于2030年送人类上火星的计划,许多专家认为其60亿美元的成本估算过低,难以成功。故选A。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文,围绕如何学会更好地独处展开,结合专家建议给出从低风险外出尝试、提前做好准备、借助小事物转移注意力到庆祝独处成就的一系列实用方法。
【36题详解】
根据上文“But as long as you also have a strong social network, research suggests that quality solo time increases happiness, reduces stress, and improves life satisfaction.(但研究表明,只要你同时拥有稳固的社交圈,高质量的独处时光就能提升幸福感、减轻压力,还能提高生活满意)”及下文“This is because when you’re alone, you’re able to get in touch with yourself in a way you can’t when surrounded by other opinions and ideas.(这是因为当你独处时,你能以一种被他人观点和想法包围时无法做到的方式与自己对话)”可知,此空需要承接前文,补充独处的其他益处。C选项 It can even make you more productive and creative.(它甚至能让你变得更高效、更具创造力)中的“It”指代前文的“quality solo time”,“even”一词递进强调独处的额外好处,与前文的益处表述衔接紧密,同时呼应下文独处能与自己对话的深层原因,符合语境。故选C项。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Write down what you’d like to do by yourself, ranked from the most difficult activity to the least. Traveling internationally or attending a concert might be a 10, for example, while going to the park may be a 3.(写下你想独自做的事,按难度从高到低排序。比如,出国旅行或听音乐会难度可能为10,而逛公园可能只有3)”可知,此空需要说明如何从低难度的独处活动开始尝试。E选项 You can brainstorm ways to make the easiest one less difficult.(你可以想出一些办法,让最容易的那件事变得更简单)承接前文的“难度排序”建议,聚焦最容易的独处活动,给出降低执行门槛的方法,符合“低风险外出”的主题,符合语境。故选E项。
【38题详解】
分析语篇可知,此处应为该段小标题,需概括下文内容。下文“Once you’ve decided to head out on your own, search online to figure out exactly where to go. Look up places nearby in advance that are, for example, great for dining alone.(一旦你决定独自出门,上网查清楚具体要去哪里。提前找找附近适合独自去的地方,比如适合一个人吃饭的餐厅)”可知,本段围绕独自外出前要提前做准备展开。A选项Do your homework beforehand.(提前做好功课)精准概括了本段核心内容,适合作小标题。故选A项。
【39题详解】
根据上文“When you start going places alone, it can be helpful to have something to focus on, like a book or a journal. Keeping your headphones on and listening to a favorite podcast or an audiobook can serve the same purpose.(当你刚开始独自出门时,有个可以专注的东西会很有帮助,比如一本书或一本日记。戴着耳机听喜欢的播客或有声书也能达到同样的效果)”可知,此空需要说明这些“分心物”对新手独处的作用。F选项 In the early days, these provide a welcome sense of comfort.(刚开始的时候,这些东西能带来令人安心的舒适感)中的“these”指代前文的书、日记、播客等事物,点明它们在独处初期的安抚作用,符合语境。故选F项。
【40题详解】
根据上文“When you get home, spend a few minutes celebrating the experience.(回家后,花几分钟时间庆祝这次独处的经历)”以及下文“Give yourself praises for stepping outside of your comfort zone, which will inspire you to go forward.(表扬自己走出了舒适区,这会激励你继续前进)”可知,此空需要列举庆祝独处经历的具体方式。G选项 Maybe that means journaling or posting a photo on social media.(这或许可以是写日记,或者在社交媒体上发一张照片)承接前文的“庆祝经历”,给出具体可行的庆祝方法,同时衔接下文的自我表扬,符合语境。故选G项。

In the classroom of Class 7, Grade 8, students were excited about an upcoming event. The school had organized a speech competition titled “Ways to Become Successful,” and many students were eager to showcase their public speaking skills. Among them was 13-year-old Zora, who, had already won two speech contests and was full of confidence that she could win again.
Zora volunteered to represent her class in the competition, and after a round of voting, she was chosen as the class representative. Although there were only seven days left until the big day, Zora felt a sense of ease about the competition. After all, she had been here before and knew what it took to win.
At home, Zora’s father congratulated her on her achievement, while her mother reminded her to take the competition seriously. Despite her parents’ advice, Zora was convinced that her past successes meant this would be a walk in the park. Her teacher also urged her to prepare diligently, but Zora only sought help once to revise her initial draft.
As the days went by, Zora did not put in the necessary effort to refine her speech. When the day of the competition arrived, she was hit with a sudden wave of panic. She couldn’t remember the content of her speech, and as she stepped onto the stage, her anxiety only grew. After delivering the opening lines, she froze, unable to continue. The supportive applause from the audience only added to her confusion, leaving no room for her to recall her prepared words.
Zora struggled through the rest of her speech, finishing it in a state of embarrassment and shame. As she walked off the stage, she saw the disappointment in her teacher’s eyes and felt the letdown from her classmates. It was a heavy burden to bear.
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。
Back at home, Zora could no longer hold back her tears.

The next day, Zora went to school and apologized to her class.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Back at home, Zora could no longer hold back her tears. She bolted into her room and hurled herself onto the bed, weeping profusely. The recollection of her poor performance in the competition weighed heavily on her heart. Her parents quietly entered the room. Instead of getting cross, they seated themselves beside her, patiently listening as she unburdened her guilt. Zora sobbed out that she felt extremely guilty for disappointing everyone. Her parents consoled her, stating that everyone errs and it’s the way we handle failure that counts. After an extended conversation, Zora gradually composed herself and started to reflect on her errors.
The next day, Zora went to school and apologized to her class. Standing in front of the class, she appeared a bit nervous yet determined. “Dear classmates, I’m truly sorry for what happened yesterday. I failed to take the competition seriously enough, and I let our class down,” she said earnestly. To her astonishment, her classmates smiled at her and expressed their understanding. Her teacher also stepped forward and encouraged her not to be disheartened. The teacher analyzed Zora’s issues and offered her some sound advice. From that moment on, Zora learned a precious lesson. She dedicated herself more assiduously to improving her speaking skills and actively engaged in more activities, eagerly looking forward to redeeming herself.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索。文章讲述了已经赢过两次演讲比赛的Zora被选为班级代表参加学校组织的演讲比赛。但在比赛前,尽管家人和老师提醒她认真准备,但她却没有当回事,结果在比赛时她输掉了演讲,她感受到了老师和同学的失望,这给她带来沉重的负担。回到家后在父母开解认识到了自己的错误,重新找回了自信,并向全班同学认真承认错误。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“回到家里,Zora再也忍不住流下了眼泪。”可知,第一段可描写Zora伤心不已以及父母的安慰让她反思自我。
②由第二段首句内容“第二天,Zora去学校向她的同学道歉。”可知,第二段可描写Zora在同学面前认真道歉并获得了同学的原谅和老师的建议,以及Zora从这次事件中获得的感悟。
2. 续写线索:回家后Zora流泪——父母安慰——父母给出建议——Zora向同学道歉——同学原谅——老师给出建议——感悟
3. 词汇激活:

2025 marked a new chapter for cultural exchange between China and Germany, especially in the field of ceramic art. This cross-cultural dialogue was led by Li Wei, a renowned Chinese ceramic artist who has dedicated over 20 years to reviving traditional Jingdezhen porcelain techniques while blending modern design elements.
Li’s latest project, named “Clay & Creativity”, was mounted at the Berlin University of the Arts in March. The initiative brought together 15 design students from Germany’s top art schools and 10 Chinese ceramic craftsmen for a three-month collaborative program. Unlike typical cultural exchange events that only showcase finished artworks, “Clay & Creativity” focused on hands-on learning: students learned to shape porcelain using ancient Chinese methods, while craftsmen absorbed Western concepts of minimalism and functional design.
Li was not the only one bridging cultural gaps through ceramic art. International brands have also recognized the value of combining Eastern craftsmanship with Western design. In April, luxury homeware brand Villeroy & Boch partnered with a Jingdezhen ceramic studio to create a limited-edition tableware series. Meanwhile, the German Design Council organized a workshop in Shanghai, inviting Chinese artisans to share their skills with European designers. However, Li’s project stood out for its emphasis on grassroots interaction rather than commercial cooperation. “True cultural exchange happens when people create together, not just trade products,” Li explained in an interview with a design magazine.
One of the standout participants was Lina Schmidt, a twenty-two-year-old German student. Her final piece — a porcelain teapot that merged Chinese blue-and-white patterns with German Bauhaus geometric shapes — was selected to be exhibited at the Munich Design Museum later this year. “Working with Master Li completely changed my understanding of ceramic art,” Schmidt said. “He taught us that tradition isn’t a fixed rule but a living language that can be reimagined. This experience made me realize how much Eastern and Western design can learn from each other.”
24. What is the main focus of Li Wei’s “Clay & Creativity” project?
A. Training craftsmen in Western design concepts.
B. Showcasing finished ceramic artworks in Berlin.
C. Promoting commercial trade of porcelain products.
D. Offering hands-on collaborative learning experiences.
25. Why does the author mention Villeroy & Boch and the German Design Council?
A. To illustrate broader efforts in cultural integration.
B. To highlight the popularity of Jingdezhen porcelain.
C. To compare their approaches with Li Wei’s project.
D. To prove the commercial value of modern ceramic art.
26. What makes Li Wei’s project different from other similar initiatives?
A. It involves more international students and craftsmen.
B. It has received support from top international brands.
C. It aims to revive traditional Chinese porcelain techniques.
D. It focuses on grassroots creative cooperation instead of business.
27. What does Lina Schmidt think of her experience with Li Wei?
A. It helped her master fixed traditional ceramic rules.
B. It made her realize the superiority of Eastern design.
C. It encouraged her to focus on commercial ceramic design.
D. It inspired her to combine different design styles creatively.

The fountain (喷泉) show of a famous hotel, on the Las Vegas Strip, attracts many visitors every day. But on Tuesday, March 5, this tradition had to be stopped for a unique guest. A yellow-billed loon, a bird not usually found on the mainland of the U.S., landed in the fountain.
“We are happy to welcome the unique guest,” wrote the hotel team on Twitter. They then announced that the fountains had been stopped and that they were working with state wildlife officials to rescue the bird, which had “found comfort in our little lake.”
It is extremely rare (罕见的) to see a yellow-billed loon in the Las Vegas area, as it usually makes its home in the Arctic and along the Pacific mainland. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has listed it as “vulnerable” meaning it could be at risk of endangerment (受到危害) in the future, while the National Park Service (NPS) considers it to be one of the ten rarest birds that breed (繁殖) on the mainland of the United States, adding that about 20%-25% of the global population visits Alaska seasonally.
“It’s an odd thing that it would come to the hotel’s fountains, where there are so many people,” said Kurt Buzard of the Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve. According to him, the yellow-billed loon is a younger bird that might have gotten lost while trying to travel north along the coast, where most yellow-billed loons travel. “It’s really off-course here. Very unusual to see a bird like that here.”
At first, officials from the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) decided it was best not to trouble the bird, giving it a day to work it out on its own. But when Wednesday came, they were worried about the absence of food the loon may face if it stayed there, so they caught the bird. Once they made sure it was unharmed and in good health, it was transported to the Wetlands, an area about 5 miles from the Strip, where it had plenty of food and water.
28. What happened to the fountain show on Tuesday?
A. It was turned off because of an emergency. B. It had a special mix of music and lights.
C. It drew a large number of visitors. D. It was canceled for repair work.
29. Why does the author mention IUCN and NPS in paragraph 3?
A. To stress the yellow-billed loon’s rareness and survival situation.
B. To discuss the yellow-billed loon’s living place preferences.
C. To explain the yellow-billed loon’s seasonal visits to Alaska.
D. To introduce the yellow-billed loon’s breeding models.
30. What does the underlined word “odd” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Interesting. B. Surprising. C. Difficult. D. Natural.
31. What was the NDOW officials’ first reaction to the bird?
A. To leave it alone. B. To inform its owner.
C. To check its condition. D. To move it somewhere else.
D
Some of the world’s most important scientists think the idea of people living on Mars will come true one day. Stephen Hawking believed humans must move into space to survive. “Once we spread out into space and establish independent colonies, our future should be safe.” he said. Robert Zubrin, a rocket scientist, agrees and thinks starting with Mars makes the most sense. He thinks sending people to Mars will allow us to learn a lot—for example, about the ability of humans to live in a very different environment.
However, scientists will need to terraform Mars for people to be able to live. Terraforming means changing the environment on a planet so that it is similar to Earth’s. One of the main goals of terraforming Mars is to warm it up because the average temperature there is about -60℃. One idea for warming Mars is to build factories there that produce greenhouse gases. This could take many centuries. However, it should lead to rainfall and the growth of plants, resulting in more air that people can breathe.
Another big concern for scientists is whether humans can move to Mars and still stay healthy in mind and body. As a test, six people lived in a Mars-like environment in Hawaii for a year before “returning to Earth” recently. It was a 1,200-square-foot room that was on the side of a volcano and used the sun for energy. Christiane Heinicke, one of the people who lived there, said that one of the biggest issues was feeling bored. So humans on Mars would always need to keep themselves busy with various activities. Another important finding was that the people living together should all be able to get along and work together.
One particular organization based in Europe is planning to send the first humans to Mars before 2030.The organization believes that its project is giving people worldwide the chance to be part of the first human crew ever to live on Mars for good. However, many experts think the project’s cost of US $6 billion is too low for it to be successful. The American space agency NASA believes that sending people to Mars would cost about US $100 billion, although this estimate is based on bringing them back to Earth, too. Regardless, it seems that humans living on Mars may well happen a lot sooner than most people believe.
32. Why choose Mars first?
A. It has no extreme cold. B. It’s fit for quick terraforming.
C. It helps study human adaptability. D. It’s closer than other planets.
33. What worries scientists most?
A. Greenhouse gas shortage B. Human physical/mental health
C. Lack of funding for factories D. Volcanoes on Mars’ surface
34. What is the connection between Hawaii test and Mars life?
A. Both need sun energy use B. Both require team cooperation
C. Both have 1,200-square-foot space D. Both last exactly one year
35. How is the 2030 Mars plan viewed?
A. Cost estimate is too low. B. It can finish terraforming first.
C. NASA will fund it fully. D. It ignores health risks.

In the classroom of Class 7, Grade 8, students were excited about an upcoming event. The school had organized a speech competition titled “Ways to Become Successful,” and many students were eager to showcase their public speaking skills. Among them was 13-year-old Zora, who, had already won two speech contests and was full of confidence that she could win again.
Zora volunteered to represent her class in the competition, and after a round of voting, she was chosen as the class representative. Although there were only seven days left until the big day, Zora felt a sense of ease about the competition. After all, she had been here before and knew what it took to win.
At home, Zora’s father congratulated her on her achievement, while her mother reminded her to take the competition seriously. Despite her parents’ advice, Zora was convinced that her past successes meant this would be a walk in the park. Her teacher also urged her to prepare diligently, but Zora only sought help once to revise her initial draft.
As the days went by, Zora did not put in the necessary effort to refine her speech. When the day of the competition arrived, she was hit with a sudden wave of panic. She couldn’t remember the content of her speech, and as she stepped onto the stage, her anxiety only grew. After delivering the opening lines, she froze, unable to continue. The supportive applause from the audience only added to her confusion, leaving no room for her to recall her prepared words.
Zora struggled through the rest of her speech, finishing it in a state of embarrassment and shame. As she walked off the stage, she saw the disappointment in her teacher’s eyes and felt the letdown from her classmates. It was a heavy burden to bear.
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。
Back at home, Zora could no longer hold back her tears.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next day, Zora went to school and apologized to her class.
