From a young age, I had dreamed of becoming a professional musician. I spent hours practicing the violin, imagining myself performing on grand stages. So, when I auditioned (音试) for a famed music academy, I believed it was my chance to take a major step toward my goal.
The day the results were released, I rushed to check my email. My heart pounded as I opened the message. “We appreciate your audition” and “The competition was intense” were followed by “Unfortunately, we are unable to offer you a spot.” I stared at the screen in disbelief. All my dedication, all the years of effort — had they been for nothing?
For weeks, I struggled with self-doubt. I questioned whether I had any talent at all. Every time I picked up my violin, I felt an overwhelming sense of failure. Just as I was about to give up, my music teacher sat me down for a conversation. She told me that rejection was not the end, but rather a redirection. She encouraged me to join a community orchestra (乐队), where I could continue to develop my skills and play music for the complete joy of it.
At first, I hesitated. I had always associated success with first-rate programs and distinguished titles. But after some thought, I decided to give it a try. To my surprise, playing in the orchestra reawakened my passion. Unlike the competitive atmosphere of auditions, here I played purely for the love of music. I met musicians from all walks of life and even had the chance to teach younger students. I began to see that fulfillment wasn’t just about fame — it was about sharing music in a meaningful way.
Later, when I auditioned for another music program, I still felt nervous. But this time, rejection wouldn’t shake me. I had learned that my dream wasn’t about being accepted into one specific school — it was about the joy of music itself. No rejection could take that away from me.
4. How did the author feel before reading the rejection email?
A. Anxious. B. Angry. C. Surprised. D. Settled.
5. What did the author’s music teacher suggest?
A. To find a career outside of music. B. To redirect and just enjoy the music.
C. To practice harder for the next audition. D. To pursue another famed music academy.
6. Why did the author enjoy playing in the orchestra?
A. It offered a path to fame and success.
B. It was recommended by a famous musician.
C. It was less competitive and more meaningful.
D. It presented an easier opportunity for auditioning.
7. What lesson did the author learn from this experience?
A. Rejection is a sign to give up. B. Fame is the motivation for action.
C. Passion matters more than recognition. D. Success comes only from top institutions.
C
Every year across the world, vaccines (疫苗) prevent as many as five million people from dying. Unfortunately, most vaccines need to be kept cool to stop them from going off. This makes it difficult to transport them to remote areas, because if they get too warm they won’t work. This is what Dr Asel Sartbaeva has been attempting to solve.
Growing up, Asel Sartbaeva always looked up to scientists like Michael Faraday and Marie Curie. When she studied at Cambridge University in England, she met an award-winning physicist called Brian Josephson. “My jaw dropped,” she said, “It felt like a ‘big thing’ for me to be working in the same place as scientists I had looked up to for so long.”
In 2010, Asel Sartbaeva took her daughter Melinda to be vaccinated. She noticed the doctor had kept the vaccines in the fridge. When she got home, she started reading about it online and found that there are places around the world where vaccines can’t be delivered because they can’t be refrigerated for the whole journey — meaning some people miss out on getting vaccines. Sartbaeva wanted to invent a way to keep vaccines stable at all temperatures, so she came up with ensilication.
Over the next few years, Sartbaeva and her team have tested out a number of different ways to see if the ensilicated vaccines can be kept stable when they’re out of the fridge. One of these experiments involved sending some vaccines in the post from Bath to Newcastle. The journey is more than 300 miles, which can take a day or two by post, but the vaccines were still safe to use when they arrived.
In 2021, Sartbaeva was named a UNICEF Ambassador for Girls in Science project. She designed experiments to get more girls interested in the science-based subjects. “In addition to my scientific and teaching work, I want t to make scientific discoveries closer and d more understandable to people,” she said.
8. What does the underlined phrase “going off” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Boiling. B. Being misused. C. Failing. D. Being polluted.
9. How did Sartbaeva feel about her meeting with Brian Josephson?
A. Honored. B. Scared. C. Amused. D. Embarrassed.
10. What inspired Sartbaeva’s idea of ensilication?
A. Limitations of the vaccine storage.
B. Vaccine shortages in some places.
C. Her daughter’s unexpected illness.
D. The children’s high demand for vaccines.
11. Why does the author mention the journey in paragraph 4?
A. To introduce the core of ensilication.
B. To show the effectiveness of ensilication.
C. To compare different means of transportation.
D. To emphasize the hardship of the experiment.
D
The global shipping industry is alone responsible for three percent of the total greenhouse gas emissions (排放)humans produce. If left unaddressed, in a few decades, it will account for over 10 percent of the total man-made emissions.
A new study from MIT researchers reveals a practical solution to this problem. The study authors have developed an emission-free approach to produce hydrogen (H₂) fuel, which generates only water when burned, for commercial ships. They also claim they can make hydrogen fuel using easily accessible resources.
This isn’t the first study proposing the use of aluminum (a silver-gray metal that soda cans are made from) for producing hydrogen fuel. It’s already well known that when aluminum and water react, hydrogen is formed as one of the byproducts. Such chemical reactions, however, come with a sort of a dilemma: It only works when aluminum is used in its pure state. The moment aluminum meets with oxygen, such as in air, its surface immediately forms a protective layer that prevents further reactions.
During their study, the researchers turned recycled soda cans into small aluminum balls. They pretreated the aluminum balls with a rare-metal alloy (合金) that effectively purifies aluminum, making it into a pure form that can react with seawater to generate hydrogen. The salt ions (离子) in the seawater can in turn attract and recover the alloy, which can be reused to generate more hydrogen. The team found that this reaction successfully produced hydrogen gas, though slowly.
They experimented with different chemicals including the ones that are typically found in kitchens and realized that adding coffee made a difference. “A low concentration of caffeine is enough to produce the same amount of hydrogen in just five minutes, compared to two hours without it,” the study authors note. “The next part is to figure out how to use this for trucks, trains, and maybe airplanes,” Aly Kombargi, lead study author, said.
12. How can the MIT researchers contribute to the shipping industry?
A. By providing a clean energy source.
B. By developing new fuel storage methods.
C. By improving fuel efficiency in existing ships.
D. By planning more convenient shipping routes
13. What is the challenge when making hydrogen from aluminum?
A. Hydrogen is too expensive to make. B. The chemical reaction happens too slow.
C. Aluminum easily reacts with oxygen. D. The metal surface prevents further reactions.
14. What can be inferred about the MIT researchers’ hydrogen generation process?
A. It requires large quantities of alloy.
B. It produces significant waste chemicals.
C. It creates hydrogen in a sustainable cycle.
D. It generates hydrogen with low purity.
15. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Hydrogen Fuel: A Game Changer of Transportation
B. Cans+ Seawater+ Coffee: A Greener Shipping Future
C. Coffee: The Secret Substance for Clean Shipping Fuel
D. Aluminum: A Pioneering Material for Hydrogen Produce

How to Choose Your Purpose-Filled Career
When you think about choosing a career, you often do it in the following two ways.
Think about what you like to do. If you like writing or doing crafts, you might consider these things. This is not a bad way to go, of course, but you can’t always make money doing things you like (like video games or drinking beer). ____16____
Think about a well-paid job that you can do and doesn’t sound so bad. ____17____ Or maybe that’s out of your educational reach, so you choose office or retail worker. These are all great choices. But often they are not something you’re really passionate about. It’s kind of like just doing something because it’s there——not very inspired.
____18____ Try to do something to serve a community or make the world better. For example, taking care of children, because you really want to help children get a great start in life, or blossom into who they want to be or getting into government or social work to improve the conditions of the community you live in or becoming a scientist to help ease the environmental crisis or find a cure for a terrible disease. ____19____ And if you choose one of them for that purpose, you will serve in that work feeling a sense of purpose each day.
____20____ The point isn’t how you serve the world, but just serving the world in some way will help you feel filled with purpose. If you choose a purposeful and enjoyable job, you’re always further along than most people.
A. There are endless ways to do that.
B. Maybe a doctor, engineer or lawyer?
C. However, there’s another way that is perhaps better.
D. You are dreaming of a well-paid job which you like best.
E. It’s essential not to concentrate on interests and good payment.
F. Each of these is just one of many possibilities filled with purpose.
G. And sometimes things you like are better as a hobby or side passion.

A Rainy Day Help
Last Monday afternoon, school was over. The sky suddenly turned dark with heavy clouds, and soon it started to rain heavily. Big raindrops beat against the windows and the ground. Many students took out their umbrellas and ran home quickly in the rain. However, Lisa didn’t take an umbrella with her that day. She stood alone at the school gate, looking at the pouring rain, feeling worried and helpless. She didn’t know how to get home without getting wet.
Just then, a girl with a bright red umbrella walked towards her. It was Jenny, a new student who had just joined Lisa’s class a week ago. Jenny noticed Lisa’s worried look and smiled kindly. “It’s raining so hard. You don’t have an umbrella, do you? I can walk with you. Let’s share mine,” she said softly. Lisa felt warm and thankful at once. She nodded and walked under the umbrella with Jenny.
On the way home, they talked happily. When they finally arrived at Lisa’s house, Lisa invited Jenny to come in for a cup of hot tea to keep warm. But Jenny said she had to hurry home. Before leaving, Jenny waved to Lisa with a sweet smile. Lisa watched her walk away in the rain, and her heart was full of thanks.
The next morning, Lisa prepared a small gift for Jenny.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
From that rainy day, Lisa and Jenny became close friends.

From a young age, I had dreamed of becoming a professional musician. I spent hours practicing the violin, imagining myself performing on grand stages. So, when I auditioned (音试) for a famed music academy, I believed it was my chance to take a major step toward my goal.
The day the results were released, I rushed to check my email. My heart pounded as I opened the message. “We appreciate your audition” and “The competition was intense” were followed by “Unfortunately, we are unable to offer you a spot.” I stared at the screen in disbelief. All my dedication, all the years of effort — had they been for nothing?
For weeks, I struggled with self-doubt. I questioned whether I had any talent at all. Every time I picked up my violin, I felt an overwhelming sense of failure. Just as I was about to give up, my music teacher sat me down for a conversation. She told me that rejection was not the end, but rather a redirection. She encouraged me to join a community orchestra (乐队), where I could continue to develop my skills and play music for the complete joy of it.
At first, I hesitated. I had always associated success with first-rate programs and distinguished titles. But after some thought, I decided to give it a try. To my surprise, playing in the orchestra reawakened my passion. Unlike the competitive atmosphere of auditions, here I played purely for the love of music. I met musicians from all walks of life and even had the chance to teach younger students. I began to see that fulfillment wasn’t just about fame — it was about sharing music in a meaningful way.
Later, when I auditioned for another music program, I still felt nervous. But this time, rejection wouldn’t shake me. I had learned that my dream wasn’t about being accepted into one specific school — it was about the joy of music itself. No rejection could take that away from me.
4. How did the author feel before reading the rejection email?
A. Anxious. B. Angry. C. Surprised. D. Settled.
5. What did the author’s music teacher suggest?
A. To find a career outside of music. B. To redirect and just enjoy the music.
C. To practice harder for the next audition. D. To pursue another famed music academy.
6. Why did the author enjoy playing in the orchestra?
A. It offered a path to fame and success.
B. It was recommended by a famous musician.
C. It was less competitive and more meaningful.
D. It presented an easier opportunity for auditioning.
7. What lesson did the author learn from this experience?
A. Rejection is a sign to give up. B. Fame is the motivation for action.
C. Passion matters more than recognition. D. Success comes only from top institutions.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. C

Every year across the world, vaccines (疫苗) prevent as many as five million people from dying. Unfortunately, most vaccines need to be kept cool to stop them from going off. This makes it difficult to transport them to remote areas, because if they get too warm they won’t work. This is what Dr Asel Sartbaeva has been attempting to solve.
Growing up, Asel Sartbaeva always looked up to scientists like Michael Faraday and Marie Curie. When she studied at Cambridge University in England, she met an award-winning physicist called Brian Josephson. “My jaw dropped,” she said, “It felt like a ‘big thing’ for me to be working in the same place as scientists I had looked up to for so long.”
In 2010, Asel Sartbaeva took her daughter Melinda to be vaccinated. She noticed the doctor had kept the vaccines in the fridge. When she got home, she started reading about it online and found that there are places around the world where vaccines can’t be delivered because they can’t be refrigerated for the whole journey — meaning some people miss out on getting vaccines. Sartbaeva wanted to invent a way to keep vaccines stable at all temperatures, so she came up with ensilication.
Over the next few years, Sartbaeva and her team have tested out a number of different ways to see if the ensilicated vaccines can be kept stable when they’re out of the fridge. One of these experiments involved sending some vaccines in the post from Bath to Newcastle. The journey is more than 300 miles, which can take a day or two by post, but the vaccines were still safe to use when they arrived.
In 2021, Sartbaeva was named a UNICEF Ambassador for Girls in Science project. She designed experiments to get more girls interested in the science-based subjects. “In addition to my scientific and teaching work, I want t to make scientific discoveries closer and d more understandable to people,” she said.
8. What does the underlined phrase “going off” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Boiling. B. Being misused. C. Failing. D. Being polluted.
9. How did Sartbaeva feel about her meeting with Brian Josephson?
A. Honored. B. Scared. C. Amused. D. Embarrassed.
10. What inspired Sartbaeva’s idea of ensilication?
A. Limitations of the vaccine storage.
B. Vaccine shortages in some places.
C. Her daughter’s unexpected illness.
D. The children’s high demand for vaccines.
11. Why does the author mention the journey in paragraph 4?
A. To introduce the core of ensilication.
B. To show the effectiveness of ensilication.
C. To compare different means of transportation.
D. To emphasize the hardship of the experiment.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了科学家Asel Sartbaeva受童年偶像影响,致力于解决疫苗保存难题并取得突破性成果的成长与科研历程。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Unfortunately, most vaccines need to be kept cool to stop them from going off. This makes it difficult to transport them to remote areas, because if they get too warm they won’t work. (遗憾的是,大多数疫苗需要冷藏以防止going off。这使得将它们运输到偏远地区变得困难,因为如果温度过高,疫苗就会失去作用)”可知,疫苗需冷藏以防 “失效”。“going off”在此处意为“失效”,与“Failing(失去效力)”语义相符。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Growing up, Asel Sartbaeva always looked up to scientists like Michael Faraday and Marie Curie. When she studied at Cambridge University in England, she met an award-winning physicist called Brian Josephson. “My jaw dropped,” she said, “It felt like a ‘big thing’ for me to be working in the same place as scientists I had looked up to for so long.”(从小到大,Asel Sartbaeva一直敬仰Michael Faraday和Marie Curie这样的科学家。当她在英国剑桥大学学习时,遇到了一位名叫Brian Josephson的获奖物理学家。她说:“我惊讶得合不拢嘴,能和我敬仰已久的科学家在同一个地方工作,对我来说是件‘大事’)” 可推知,当Sartbaeva在剑桥大学遇到获奖物理学家Brian Josephson时,她感到非常荣幸。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“When she got home, she started reading about it online and found that there are places around the world where vaccines can’t be delivered because they can’t be refrigerated for the whole journey — meaning some people miss out on getting vaccines. Sartbaeva wanted to invent a way to keep vaccines stable at all temperatures, so she came up with ensilication.(回到家后,她开始在网上查阅相关信息,发现世界上有些地方无法送达疫苗,因为疫苗在整个运输过程中无法冷藏——这意味着一些人错过了接种疫苗的机会。Sartbaeva想发明一种能让疫苗在所有温度下都保持稳定的方法,于是她提出了ensilication的想法)”可知,疫苗储存的局限性(需冷藏才能运输)启发了她的ensilication的想法。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“One of these experiments involved sending some vaccines in the post from Bath to Newcastle. The journey is more than 300 miles, which can take a day or two by post, but the vaccines were still safe to use when they arrived.(其中一项实验包括将一些疫苗通过邮政从巴斯寄往纽卡斯尔。这段路程超过300英里,邮寄可能需要一两天时间,但疫苗抵达时仍可安全使用)”可推知,该实验是为了证明ensilication技术能让疫苗在非冷藏条件下保持稳定,即展示其有效性。故选B。
D
The global shipping industry is alone responsible for three percent of the total greenhouse gas emissions (排放)humans produce. If left unaddressed, in a few decades, it will account for over 10 percent of the total man-made emissions.
A new study from MIT researchers reveals a practical solution to this problem. The study authors have developed an emission-free approach to produce hydrogen (H₂) fuel, which generates only water when burned, for commercial ships. They also claim they can make hydrogen fuel using easily accessible resources.
This isn’t the first study proposing the use of aluminum (a silver-gray metal that soda cans are made from) for producing hydrogen fuel. It’s already well known that when aluminum and water react, hydrogen is formed as one of the byproducts. Such chemical reactions, however, come with a sort of a dilemma: It only works when aluminum is used in its pure state. The moment aluminum meets with oxygen, such as in air, its surface immediately forms a protective layer that prevents further reactions.
During their study, the researchers turned recycled soda cans into small aluminum balls. They pretreated the aluminum balls with a rare-metal alloy (合金) that effectively purifies aluminum, making it into a pure form that can react with seawater to generate hydrogen. The salt ions (离子) in the seawater can in turn attract and recover the alloy, which can be reused to generate more hydrogen. The team found that this reaction successfully produced hydrogen gas, though slowly.
They experimented with different chemicals including the ones that are typically found in kitchens and realized that adding coffee made a difference. “A low concentration of caffeine is enough to produce the same amount of hydrogen in just five minutes, compared to two hours without it,” the study authors note. “The next part is to figure out how to use this for trucks, trains, and maybe airplanes,” Aly Kombargi, lead study author, said.
12. How can the MIT researchers contribute to the shipping industry?
A. By providing a clean energy source.
B. By developing new fuel storage methods.
C. By improving fuel efficiency in existing ships.
D. By planning more convenient shipping routes
13. What is the challenge when making hydrogen from aluminum?
A. Hydrogen is too expensive to make. B. The chemical reaction happens too slow.
C. Aluminum easily reacts with oxygen. D. The metal surface prevents further reactions.
14. What can be inferred about the MIT researchers’ hydrogen generation process?
A. It requires large quantities of alloy.
B. It produces significant waste chemicals.
C. It creates hydrogen in a sustainable cycle.
D. It generates hydrogen with low purity.
15. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Hydrogen Fuel: A Game Changer of Transportation
B. Cans+ Seawater+ Coffee: A Greener Shipping Future
C. Coffee: The Secret Substance for Clean Shipping Fuel
D. Aluminum: A Pioneering Material for Hydrogen Produce
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B

How to Choose Your Purpose-Filled Career
When you think about choosing a career, you often do it in the following two ways.
Think about what you like to do. If you like writing or doing crafts, you might consider these things. This is not a bad way to go, of course, but you can’t always make money doing things you like (like video games or drinking beer). ____16____
Think about a well-paid job that you can do and doesn’t sound so bad. ____17____ Or maybe that’s out of your educational reach, so you choose office or retail worker. These are all great choices. But often they are not something you’re really passionate about. It’s kind of like just doing something because it’s there——not very inspired.
____18____ Try to do something to serve a community or make the world better. For example, taking care of children, because you really want to help children get a great start in life, or blossom into who they want to be or getting into government or social work to improve the conditions of the community you live in or becoming a scientist to help ease the environmental crisis or find a cure for a terrible disease. ____19____ And if you choose one of them for that purpose, you will serve in that work feeling a sense of purpose each day.
____20____ The point isn’t how you serve the world, but just serving the world in some way will help you feel filled with purpose. If you choose a purposeful and enjoyable job, you’re always further along than most people.
A. There are endless ways to do that.
B. Maybe a doctor, engineer or lawyer?
C. However, there’s another way that is perhaps better.
D. You are dreaming of a well-paid job which you like best.
E. It’s essential not to concentrate on interests and good payment.
F. Each of these is just one of many possibilities filled with purpose.
G. And sometimes things you like are better as a hobby or side passion.
【答案】16. G 17. B 18. C 19. F 20. A
【解析】

Exercise Starts from You and Me
Last Sunday, I took part in the activity “Exercise Starts from You and Me” organized by the Students’ Union.
The activity began with a morning run around the campus, followed by group games like rope skipping and relay races. Everyone joined actively, laughing and cheering together. We even got small prizes for our teamwork, which made the whole experience even more fun and memorable.

A Rainy Day Help
Last Monday afternoon, school was over. The sky suddenly turned dark with heavy clouds, and soon it started to rain heavily. Big raindrops beat against the windows and the ground. Many students took out their umbrellas and ran home quickly in the rain. However, Lisa didn’t take an umbrella with her that day. She stood alone at the school gate, looking at the pouring rain, feeling worried and helpless. She didn’t know how to get home without getting wet.
Just then, a girl with a bright red umbrella walked towards her. It was Jenny, a new student who had just joined Lisa’s class a week ago. Jenny noticed Lisa’s worried look and smiled kindly. “It’s raining so hard. You don’t have an umbrella, do you? I can walk with you. Let’s share mine,” she said softly. Lisa felt warm and thankful at once. She nodded and walked under the umbrella with Jenny.
On the way home, they talked happily. When they finally arrived at Lisa’s house, Lisa invited Jenny to come in for a cup of hot tea to keep warm. But Jenny said she had to hurry home. Before leaving, Jenny waved to Lisa with a sweet smile. Lisa watched her walk away in the rain, and her heart was full of thanks.
The next morning, Lisa prepared a small gift for Jenny.

From that rainy day, Lisa and Jenny became close friends.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
The next morning, Lisa prepared a small gift for Jenny. It was a lovely umbrella keychain, with a tiny red umbrella pendant that looked just like Jenny’s. When she saw Jenny in the classroom, Lisa walked over gently and handed her the gift. “Thank you for helping me yesterday,” Lisa said sincerely. Jenny’s eyes lit up with surprise and joy, and she accepted the gift happily, saying it was the sweetest present she had received since she came to the new class. A bright smile spread across Jenny’s face, making the moment warm and sweet.
From that rainy day, Lisa and Jenny became close friends. They went to school together every day, shared snacks and secrets, and helped each other with their lessons. Whenever it rained, they would share an umbrella again, just like that first rainy afternoon. That small act of kindness not only chased away Lisa’s helplessness on that rainy day but also sowed the seed of friendship, which grew warmer and stronger day by day. Kindness finally brought them together and made their life more colorful.
