67.范文
When college applications opened, I hesitated. The thought of applying seemed daunting, given my past struggles and the low expectations I had always held for myself. However, I remembered Ms. Carter’s words of encouragement and the sense of accomplishment I had felt as an editor for the school newspaper. Taking a deep breath, I decided to face my fears and submit my application, hoping that my passion for writing and the growth I had experienced would shine through. Finally, my application was approved.
I called Ms. Carter as soon as I got the good news. My voice trembled with excitement as I shared the news of my acceptance letter. Ms. Carter’s joy was palpable through the phone line; she congratulated me warmly and reminded me of how proud she was of my progress. I realized that with the right support and encouragement, I could achieve anything I set my mind to. Ms. Carter had been my guiding light, and I couldn’t wait to embark on this new chapter of my life, ready to face the challenges and opportunities that awaited me.

附:听力原文:
1.
【原文】M: Excuse me. Is there a flower shop nearby?
W: Yes, do you see the bakery over there? Next to it, you’ll see a red umbrella. That’s where the flower shop is.
2.
【原文】W: Are Tom and Anne getting married in June?
M: No. They have rescheduled their wedding for late July. After the wedding, they’ll go on their honeymoon.
3.
【原文】W: Which supermarket do you usually go to?
M: I always shop at Brown’s.
W: A new supermarket has opened in this area. It’s much bigger.
M: I know. But it’s always packed with people.
4.
【原文】W: Jack, Mrs. Palmer wants us in her office.
M: Right now? For what?
W: She wants us to meet the new sales manager.
5.
【原文】M: I’d like to summarize what it is we’re looking for.
W: Good.
M: Basically, we want the printing cost to come down by 15%.
W: Well, it’s really hard for us to offer such a price cut.
6.~7.
【原文】W: Happy New Year, Mike!
M: Happy New Year!
W: Have you made any resolutions?
M: I’d like to eat less and exercise more this year. Three hamburgers a day is probably not a good idea.
W: Yeah, many people hope to be healthier in the new year. You always see a lot of people start joining gyms. I heard some kind of statistic that gyms are always 50% more crowded in the month of January. And then usually by February, it’s back to normal.
M: It’s so true. It’s always difficult to keep up the workout routine.
8.~10.
【原文】M: Fenny, if you’re up in London tomorrow, I’ve got two tickets for the American Ballet Theatre! Would you like to come?
W: Thanks, but I’ll be busy tomorrow.
M: No problem. Maybe another time. Do you have plans?
W: Yes, I’ll meet Katie at the Olympia Exhibition Centre. Remember her? We went to the same art school. Some of her designs are going to be exhibited there. She is hoping one of the big clothes companies might buy them.
M: Setting her sights high, isn’t she?
W: Yeah, she is aiming high. But she has what it takes to get there.
11.~13.
【原文】W: People are increasingly concerned about online security. And many experts are now offering advice on how to use smartphones safely.
M: What advice?
W: Let me ask you first: How long have you kept your phone on so far?
M: For over a year now. It’s not that I’m addicted to it, or have important calls, but I need the alarm to wake me up every morning.
W: Yeah, but that’s where the risk is. According to experts, we should switch our phones off and on once a day as a security measure. It helps close the applications running in the background and stop data collection processes we’re not aware of.
M: Sounds reasonable. Do we switch the phone off and switch it back on immediately?
W: Well, better wait for a few minutes.
M: When do you usually do that?
W: I do it every night before going to bed.
14.~16.
【原文】W: Welcome to History of the English Language. Since the class is quite small, I plan to run this course as a discussion. I hope everyone will be fully engaged and volunteer to share your knowledge and opinions. I won’t take attendance, but since part of your grade depends on participation, I encourage you to come to class.
M: Professor Moore?
W: Yes?
M: Could you tell us more about the assessment of the course?
W: Certainly. In addition to your participation in class, which accounts for 10%, there will be a midterm test, 20%; a final exam, 30%; and a research paper, 40%. Any questions?
M: Do we have any reading assignments?
W: Yes, I believe you’ve all got your textbook. You have to finish reading assigned chapters before each class. Apart from that, there’s a list of books that you’re required to read. Now let’s have a close look at it.
17.~20.
【原文】W: Hello, everybody. Thanks for your consistent support for our weekly meeting, New Books Sharing. Today, we’ve invited Dr. Caspar Melville, a lecturer from the University of London. Dr. Melville started out as a music journalist for a black music magazine called Blues and Soul. In 1992, he moved to San Francisco, and founded a jazz magazine named On the One with some friends. They did a really good job, though there was not a lot of money in it. In 1997, he moved back to London and started teaching, and made the decision to find another way to write about music. He grew up in London. He feels that the music in London clubs has formed him, but unfortunately, it has been seriously undervalued by the academic world. In black music studies, jazz has received great attention, but dance music has been largely ignored. His book, It’s a London Thing, is meant to change that situation. So let’s welcome Dr. Melville to share with us his ideas in the book.

My priceless heritage from my father is a box of yellow pencils. Some are barely used, some are worn-down, but each is unfailingly functional. They remind me of his love of solving crossword puzzles. They remind me of him sitting by the window, bathed in morning light, carefully filling in their tiny boxes.
In his 80s, my father would read the day’s newspaper cover to cover, with a pleasant smile on his face. “What are you reading that’s so funny, Dad?” I would ask. “Oh, nothing. I don’t pay much attention to the news. But reading reminds me of forgotten words that help me solve the crossword. Ah, got it! 12-D, CLASH!”
When he read the papers, our dog would curl up beside him, enjoying his soft touches for an hour or two, which left me free to write without being bothered by it. He would gladly put his paper down to engage with curious grandchildren, telling them stories about language, people and places. More importantly, he would listen. It’s a good life lesson for the little ones, as they grew to appreciate that not all grown-ups are pushy or impatient. In addition, he would live his life quietly helping people, never forgetting those who had lent him a hand. He believed that more wealth did not mean greater happiness, and that no kindness should be undervalued.
While my father used words for love, I did the same for a living as a professional writer. He understood this, and that may have been why he never asked me to suggest a word or help him with a puzzle. For him, my words were precious; each held value. Actually, I learned the worth of my work through his love for word puzzles. It did not matter how much I got paid for my writing. I wrote because I loved words and I enjoyed writing stories that brought ideas to life, often for or about non-profits.
24.Why is a box of yellow pencils mentioned?
A.To introduce the father’s hobby.
B.To stress the tool’s value.
C.To show the father’s collection.
D.To express the past regret.
25.Why did the author’s father read the newspaper page by page?
A.To read stories for amusement.
B.To know the latest news.
C.To find words to solve puzzles.
D.To kill his boring time.
26.Which can best describe the author’s father?
A.Humorous and outgoing. B.Patient and helpful.
C.Creative and ambitious. D.Grateful and strict.
27.Which is the suitable title for the text?
A.My Love for Crossword Game.
B.My Father’s Yellow Pencil Box.
C.My Gains from Word Puzzles.
D.My Father’s Crossword Magic.
C
During this year’s Spring Festival, Mount Taishan introduced wearable robotic exoskeletons (外骨骼) designed to assist hikers, making the demanding climbing more accessible especially for elderly and physically-challenged visitors. One 68-year-old tourist reported immediate relief from leg pain and a sensation of being assisted uphill, confirming the device’s practical effectiveness.
The 1.8-kilogram exoskeleton, co-developed by the Taishan Cultural Tourism Group and Shenzhen-based Kenqing Technology, wraps around the waist and thighs (大腿). Powered by artificial intelligence, it senses the wearer’s pace and movement to provide real-time assistance, effectively reducing tiredness and joint pressure. Officials stated that the exoskeletons were introduced specifically to enable elderly visitors to experience the mountain’s natural beauty firsthand, as traditional cable cars often limit scenic immersion. This innovative application has generated broader discussions about the technology’s potential in addressing elderly care challenges within China’s rapidly aging society.
The newest data reveals that by the end of 2024, China had 310 million citizens aged 60 or above, accounting for 22% of the total population. This proportion is projected to rise to 30% by 2035. Recognizing this vast market, Kenqing Technology has developed a dedicated lightweight exoskeleton system for elderly users, integrating advanced sensors and motion control to assist with walking, running, and climbing. The company plans to release an upgraded model this year, featuring lighter materials and more intelligent algorithms (算法) for better adaptability.
Government policy actively encourages this sector’s development. National guidelines promote new models of intelligent health and elderly care, support the use of service robots, and foster the assistive recovery device industry. Industry experts and company executives agree that such policy support, combined with market forces, is essential to achieve large-scale adoption.

Scientists have known that sperm whales communicate through patterns of clicks known as codas. These sounds are not random. Instead, they form complex sequences that whales use when interacting with members of their family groups. Yet the real meaning of these signals has long remained a mystery. Hidden within the ocean’s depths is a communication system far more complicated than researchers once imagined. Many experts believe that such a system may even include something similar to a basic language, but no one has been able to fully figure it out so far.
To solve this long-standing puzzle, scientists have turned to AI for help. By feeding thousands of whale recordings into advanced computer models, scientists have begun to detect patterns that human ears alone could never recognize. Similar to the way large language models learn patterns in human speech, AI systems can analyze enormous collections of whale codas and identify repeating structures within them. In early experiments, these systems were able to predict the type of coda and even identify which whale produced it with remarkable accuracy.
Inspired by these results, researchers launched Project CETI (Cetacean Translation Initiative), an international collaboration bringing together marine biologists, linguists, engineers and computer scientists to interpret the communication system of sperm whales. By combining underwater recording devices with powerful AI models, the team hopes to map the hidden structure of whale sounds and eventually understand how whales exchange information.
If successful, the project could transform how humans understand animal intelligence. Not only might it reveal that whales possess a complicated communication system, but it could also show that language-like structures exist far beyond the human world. In this sense, AI may become more than a technological tool. Properly used, it could help humans listen, perhaps for the first time, to the voices of another species.
32.What can we learn about sperm whales’ codas from paragraph 1?
A.They can only be heard in the deep ocean.
B.They are simple signals for daily communication.
C.They carry meanings that are waiting to be explained.
D.They differ greatly from other sea animals’ sound patterns.
33.What does paragraph 2 mainly focus on?
A.The importance of large language models.
B.The process of collecting whale recordings.
C.The role AI plays in studying whale codas.
D.The achievements in whale protection research.
34.What does the author say about Project CETI?
A.It has solved the mystery of animal intelligence.
B.It aims to make whale research a separate discipline.
C.It helps develop advanced underwater recording devices.
D.It may improve human understanding of animal language.
35.Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.AI: A Bridge to Sperm Whales’ Hidden Communication.
B.Sperm Whales: Creatures with Special Languages.
C.New Discoveries in Ocean Ecosystem Protection.
D.International Efforts to Study Ocean Animals.

Experts praise the virtues of social connectivity. It’s linked to better resistance to stress and even longer life. 36 Research suggests that loneliness increases the risk of heart disease, anxiety, depression, high blood pressure and even early death. 37 Doing things by yourself allows you to enjoy activities you love at your own pace and in your own way. Through solitary (独处) pursuits, you learn more about yourself and reflect on your experiences.
38 It is an important part of self-development. It allows you to get to know yourself. When you are surrounded by other, you might set your own ideas and passions aside in order to meet the wants and needs of your friends and family. Taking time on your own gives you a critical opportunity to make creative choices and focus your attention without worrying about what other people are thinking.
39 But research has found that people are often better at solving difficult problems when they work on their own. Where group efforts are often about achieving consensus (一致的意见) and fitting in with the crowd, solo work encourages creativity without added social pressure.
Relationships are often strongest when each person takes time to take care of themselves. Even when it comes to friendships, the old saying may be true. A little absence might really make the heart grow fonder. Having friendships and a strong social support system is important for your mental health and well-being. 40
A.Being alone is harmful if it feels like a punishment.
B.Being alone gives you time to focus on your interests.
C.Being alone, on the other hand, is often associated with loneliness.
D.Research has shown that many people actually prefer being on their own.
E.However, research is increasingly showing that doing things alone does pay off.
F.Brainstorming together is often seen as one of the best ways to generate new ideas.
G.But being alone occasionally may make you appreciate those connections even more.

The spotlight at this year’s Spring Festival Gala wasn’t reserved solely for performers and celebrities, as a lineup of cutting-edge humanoid robots made their highly 56 (anticipate) debut (首秀), sending consumer interest in homemade bots to 57 new high.
Following the broadcast, public interest in humanoid robots rose 58 (dramatic). Data from JD.com revealed that within two hours of the broadcast, order volume jumped 59 150 percent. New robot orders came from over 100 cities nationwide. According to GGII, the number of domestic shipments of humanoid robots 60 (expect) to grow to 62,500 units by 2026.
During the Gala, MagicLab showcased its MagicBot Gen1 and MagicBot Z1 robots. Standing at 1.4 meters tall and 61 (weigh) 40 kilograms, these machines demonstrated real-world applications in food service. One striking moment was 62 the robots jumped with remarkable precision. They completed somersaults and side flips before landing smoothly.
However, it was still Unitree that provided the stand-out performance, a complex martial arts routine in 63 the robots performance was cheered on by yellow-clad “kung fu kids” who then joined in. The robots presented martial arts moves and displayed advanced 64 (capability) like acrobatic back-flips.
The gala has long been a platform for signalling China’s industrial priorities from space 65 (explore) to drone technology, but this year it also served as a stage for a much larger announcement: the race for humanoid AI dominance is accelerating, and China intends to be at the forefront.

Growing up with ADHD (注意缺陷多动障碍), I struggled all the time to concentrate. If a subject didn’t grab my interest, my brain simply shut down. The frustration of not being able to absorb information made school extremely difficult.
By high school, I had fallen so far behind that attending class seemed pointless. My grades were always at the bottom and publicly posted for all to see, which fueled my shame and anxiety. Eventually, I began skipping classes. No one seemed to care about my potential, and I certainly didn’t see it myself.
Everything began to change when my teacher. Ms. Carter, found me hiding in an empty classroom, writing down my struggles and making drawings in a notebook one day. Ms. Carter watched me quietly for a while before gently saying, “You know, you have a real talent in writing. Why not try writing for the school newspaper?” I had never considered writing for others to see. Hesitantly, I agreed to give it a try. At first. I contributed small pieces, but over time, I took on more responsibility and became an editor.
One day, after a particularly well-received edition, Ms. Carter smiled and said, “You’ve come so far - I’m proud of you.” At her words, I felt my self-confidence rise to new heights. For the first time, I saw myself as bright and smart.
As my confidence grew, so did my expectations about the future. Ms. Carter encouraged me to consider college. All I needed to do was prepare a personal statement that showed my strengths, goals, and why I was a good fit for the college. Despite the push forward, there was still a cloud of uncertainty in the back of my mind. I expressed my thanks to Ms. Carter but said I would think about it.
注意:
1.续写短文的词数为150左右;
