We divided into groups to finish different tasks. Some cleaned the community, picking up rubbish and tidying public areas; others helped the elderly living alone do housework and chatted with them to cheer them up. Besides, we put up posters to promote labor spirit in the community. This activity not only made the community cleaner and warmer but also let me realize the value of labor. I learned to take responsibility and gained precious experience that I will never forget. 读后续写 After school, Misbah approached Yasmin. “Why did you erase it?” she said angrily, frustration tightening her voice. Yasmin shook her head. “Miss Khadija said honesty matters more than marks,” she whispered, her eyes meeting Misbah’s angry gaze. “Even if I fail, I needed it to be my answer.” Misbah murmured about wasted chances before storming off, leaving Yasmin alone in the classroom. Finally, Yasmin seemed to have made up her mind, getting out of the classroom. Back home, Yasmin told her mother everything about the exam. “Yasmin, you did the right thing. Marks can be regained, but once integrity is lost, it is hard to restore,” her mother said. In a couple of days, their history teacher Miss Khadija returned with the results. Yasmin looked at her paper and was surprised to see that she had topped the history test! The result made her feel that her commitment to honesty had truly paid off.

They are kids who were born from 2010 onwards and the total number of them had been 2.2 billion by 2025. Unlike their parents Gen Y, Gen Alpha are the first generation growing up in the environment where iPads, AI and online classrooms are completely normal. Here are the data about them. ASPECT GEN ALPHA OVERVIEW Tech Usage 65% use tablets/smartphones daily; 50% use voice assistants Education 70% adopt a blended (融合的) method of online and offline learning Social Media 40% of kids aged 8 to 11 have a social media presence Entertainment 70% of screen time is on social media platforms While Gen Alpha are still young, they are pushing their parents to try new things. A report released by public relations firm DKC in July, 2025 said parents were having new experiences thanks to the influence of their Gen Alpha kids. For example, 40% of the parents surveyed said they had signed up for a subscription service at their kid’s suggestion. (Find more examples from the survey in the bar chart below.) So, when we look at Gen Alpha, it is pretty clear that they are not just a typical group of kids growing up; they are literally the future of our world. They are the most digital and possibly the most powerful generation we have ever seen. Gen Alpha will surely change education, technology, business and culture itself. While it is still early days, one thing worth anticipating is that instead of just adapting to the world they inherit (继承), they will be more and more influential in shaping the future of the world. 21. What is the percentage of Gen Alpha who study in a mixed way according to the table? A. 40%. B. 50%. C. 65%. D. 70%. 22. In which aspect do Gen Alpha impact on their parents most according to the chart? A. Trying foods. B. Buying items during drops. C. Watching sports. D. Choosing holiday destinations. 23. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To display characteristics of a new generation. B. To describe an economic trend of consumption. C. To clarify the gap between Gen Alpha and Gen Y. D. To introduce a technology-related education system. B Every time I walk into the library and pick out yet another great book, I cannot help but remember how it all started. When I was little, I loved books mostly because of their beautiful illustrations, like animals, children, landscapes, and so on. All this changed when my aunt Kate moved in with us. Previously, my mom would pick a book and explain all the illustrations in it. My aunt on the other hand would passionately read the story to me, which ignited (点燃) my love of books and language. Even when I was old enough to read by myself, she still kept track of what I read and sometimes made a few suggestions. When I was eight and thought it was time for me to read my first thousand-page novel, all she did was smile. The fact was that from the time my aunt first satisfied my thirst for a well-written book, I started a journey to explore the beauty of language. However, unknown to me then was the fact that my interest in her reading helped her realize her dream of being a children’s book writer. Now she has over a dozen children’s books under her authorship. I have changed my career choice a few times in the course of my life — a novelist, journalist, and script (剧本) writer. It does not matter what I end up doing, but my love for language will have to be reflected in my career path. My aunt used to tell me, “Language is like a tree. While its roots dig for the goodness, it is the leaves that are bathed in it.” I have decided to keep digging and I am sure the goodness will be reflected in my life. 24. What can we learn about the author’s earliest reading experience? A. He liked the colorful covers of books. B. He preferred to read with great passion. C. He enjoyed telling stories to his parents. D. He loved the pretty pictures in the books. 25. What inspired the author to explore the beauty of language? A. His aunt’s career dream. B. His aunt’s writing thirst. C. His aunt’s patient guidance. D. His aunt’s passionate voice. 26. How did the author help his aunt achieve her goal? A. By sharing his stories. B. By making comments. C. By being her audience. D. By offering suggestions. 27. What can be inferred about the author from the last paragraph? A. He will stick to seeking the truth of life. B. He will go on pursuing the art of language. C. He will keep reflecting on his career choices. D. He will continue to spread children’s goodness. C When something breaks today， many people simply replace it. A weak phone battery，a leaking coffee maker， or a silent radio often ends up in the trash long before its useful life is over. Yet across many communities，a different habit is returning. At events known as Repair Cafes， people bring broken items to volunteers who help them find the problem and try to fix it. The idea originated in Amsterdam about 15 years ago and has since spread widely. Surveys conducted by the Open Repair Alliance show more than 200，000 repair attempts have been recorded by over 1，100 groups in dozens of countries. The organization also estimates that more than 4，000 repair communities may now be active around the world. A typical repair event is simple. People arrive with lamps， laptops， toys， clothes， vacuum cleaners， or kitchen tools. Instead of paying for an official service， they sit down with volunteers and work through the problem together. Sometimes the repair succeeds quickly. Sometimes it does not.Even then， the process still matters. Owners learn how products are designed， why they fail， and what makes some items easier to repair than others. For that reason， Repair Cafes show that practical knowledge can be shared and that many products are more repairable than people assume. At the same time， the experience of community repair has exposed a deeper problem in manufacturing. In modern consumer culture， products often seem opaque to ordinary users， as if they were sealed boxes not meant to be opened. In 16% of all recorded cases，a repair cannot be completed because the product cannot be opened， and in another 12% of cases， the information needed to complete the repair is missing. In this sense， community repair does more than save objects. It also provides evidence about how products are made and what should change. In an age of fast consumption， these events remind us that value does not disappear the moment something stops working. 28. Why does the author include many figures in paragraph 2? A. To stress the problem of broken items. B. To show the rapid growth of Repair Cafes. C. To compare the costs of different repairs. D. To highlight the impact of throwaway culture. 29. What makes a community repair event special? A. It is more demanding than official service. B. It depends on volunteers to fix the items. C. It follows strict professional guidelines. D. It turns repair into a learning experience. 30. What does the underlined word" opaque" in paragraph 4 mean? A. Unclear B. Familiar C. Accessible D. Reliable. 31. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. Amsterdam: The Birthplace of Modern Repair B qwyttqy :fId: qwyttqy . The Rise of Repair Cafes: More than Just Fixing C. Why Community Services Need More Volunteers D. How to Save Money in an Age of Fast Consumption D A common element found in table salt may hold the key to powering the next wave of electric vehicles (EVs). Most EVs in the world today are powered by lithium-ion(锂离子) batteries， which perform differently in cold and warm weather. In low temperatures， most lithium-ion batteries would deliver only a very small fraction of their original capacity unless the pack has an active heating system.Batteries store and release energy by moving charged particles(粒子) between electrodes， the two ends of a battery， through an electrolyte，a substance that allows electricity to move; cold temperatures make those processes inactive. To address the issue，a leading battery producer says its sodium-ion(钠离子) pack can keep charging and delivering power far below freezing. As the name implies， sodium-ion batteries replace lithium with sodium， an element found widely in salts. Although sodium ions are larger， they form weaker bonds with the liquid electrolyte than lithium does. This allows them to move much more easily than lithium ions， even when the cold thickens the electrolyte. Consequently， while cold weather slows all ions down， sodium-based systems are less affected，preserving more power and capacity in winter. Laboratory data suggest that at-30℃， this battery can deliver nearly three times the discharge power of equivalent lithium iron phosphate (LFP)batteries， the cheap， standard-range batteries that dominate the EV market. It can charge to 90percent full when the temperature drops to-40℃ and achieves" stable power delivery" at-50℃ in test conditions. Still， the young supply chain means manufacturing these batteries is currently about 30 percent more expensive， realistically pushing mass production toward the end of this decade." We should be looking into lowering the cost while maintaining their strong performance at low temperatures，" says Phate Zhang， an EV news founder. 32. What do we know about lithium-ion EVs? A. They need much higher maintenance fees. B. Their power system can be unstable sometimes. C. Their power output might be affected by the cold. D. They lose capacity in extreme weather conditions. 33. Why do sodium-ion batteries work better in cold weather? A. They move much faster than lithium ones. B. They are larger and more active in the electrolyte. C. Their electrolyte stays less affected by low temperatures. D. They interact more weakly with the electrolyte than lithium ions do. 34. How does the author show the superiority of sodium-ion batteries? A. By quoting experts B. By analyzing causes. C. By describing a process D. By making comparisons. 35. What is Phate Zhang's suggestion about? A. Possible direction for future study B. Choice of new research methods. C. Need to involve more researchers D. Potential application of the finding. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 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。 I used to love my nonstick pans,surpriesd at the ease of cleanup, until I learned that the plastic lining(层) may release toxins （毒素） when heated. Thus began my campaign to rid my life of plastics. 36 But I still had no clear idea what kinds of plastic were truly dangerous. I wanted to know my enemy. To be fair, plastics are amazing. Light, waterproof and stretchy, plastics have made modern life safer and cheaper. 37 Eighteen minutes after waking up, I admitted defeat. I couldn’t turn on the light. Nor could I brush my teeth. No underwear or socks — if something stretches, it’s thanks to plastic. 38 Even the human body itself is part plastic. Curious to know how plastic I am, I got tested. The results showed 2.06 nanograms of PFAS in every milliliter of my blood — an “intermediate” level associated with a potential risk of bad health effects. I then consulted Tracey Woodruff of UC San Francisco. People should just do what they can, she said. In the kitchen, choose glass containers. Elsewhere in the home, replace microfiber towels with cotton ones. Another point Woodruff made stuck in my head. 39 So I turned my attention to my kids.

All the students were studying hard for their monthly tests and Yasmin was one of them. She was a nine-year-old， intelligent girl， who always scored high marks in tests and exams. But she was a little weak in history， and because of that， she often got the second position in exams. Finally， the tests started. Each day， Yasmin sat next to Misbah， her best friend， and nervously filled the answer sheets. The last test was history， so the weekend before it， Yasmin reviewed all the major contents but was not confident about her preparation.“I still feel as if I am not ready for the history test tomorrow. I am very weak in it，” she told Ali， her elder brother.“Oh， come on! You always say that and you still pass!” Ali said. The next day， during the assembly (集会)， Yasmin learned that their history teacher， Miss Khadija， was absent， so another teacher， Miss Aisha， was assigned to their class. The whole class complained when they heard that Miss Aisha would be invigilating(监考)， as she was infamous for being very strict and never giving even a minute of extra time. Yasmin attempted all the questions， except one multiple-choice question. She looked at the clock and realized that only five minutes were left before the teacher would collect the answer sheets. Suddenly， her friend Misbah passed her a note with an answer on it. Yasmin smiled and wrote the answer. But then she remembered that Miss Khadija had once told them，“Be honest rather than clever.” Yasmin took a deep breath and made her choice. She erased the borrowed answer and wrote down the answer she had originally thought of， regardless of whether it was right or wrong. Misbah's eyes widened in disbelief when she noticed this. She opened her mouth to say something， but at that moment， the bell rang and Miss Aisha's sharp voice cut through the silence:“Pencils down! Pass your papers forward!” 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 22026-04-29T15:11:39.002 QWYEUOP :fId: QWYEUOP .请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 After school， Misbah approached Yasmin.
