Yours Li Hua 续写 With these ideas in mind,I opened the book to the damaged page.My hands trembled slightly as I took out the gold pen.Meticulously,I traced the tear,transforming it into a delicate line that seemed to radiate a faint magical glow.Then,with utmost care,I peeled off the winged broomstick sticker.I thoughtfully positioned it right beside Harry's torn broom,making it appear as though a companion broom was soaring alongside him.The page,though once damaged,now held a unique, artistic touch,a testament to my anxious hope. The next morning,I walked up to Lily with the book in my hands.My stomach churned with a mix of apprehension and a strange sense of courage."Lily,"I confessed,my voice barely a whisper, "I made a terrible mistake.I damaged your precious book."I held out the open page.Her eyes widened,first in shock,then slowly,a look of utter amazement replaced it.She leaned closer "It's...it's incredible!It's like a secret charm,making it even more special,"she breathed,a warm smile gracing her lips.In that moment,our shared love for magic and our friendship felt stronger than any tear. 听力原文： Text 1 W:It's freezing in the morning.

B At Springside Chestnut Hill Academy(SCH),journalism isn't just about reading(or watching) the news-it's about making it.From Pre-K to Upper School,students dive headfirst into the world of fact-based storytelling,learning the core principles of reporting and developing the skills to become active creators of news.Fourth graders broadcast from an office in the LowerSchool for Spark,Middle Schoolers write for the online The Torch,and Upper Schoolers contribute to The Campus Lantern,both in print and online.With an eye toward the future,SCH's"journalism track" also emphasizes new media and technology. SCH's interdisciplinary nature,the revival of The Campus Lantern began as a Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership(CEL)project.Griffy Whitman '25,bound for Swarthmore College in the fall,combined his interest in entrepreneurship ()with his passion for writing when he kickstarted the publication,now overseen by Upper School English teacher Jenny Gellhorn.Together, they brought the paper back to life;it's now a successful publication featuring hundreds of stories in print and online from over 70 contributors. 英语第4页（共12页） As part of the track,students at every level develop newsroom skills.Upper schoolers get a crash course in layout tools and even learn the demands of a 24-hour news cycle,covering news from across campus and further afield.Guest speakers with careers in journalism have visited SCH's classrooms.In January,Philadelphia Inquirer features reporter Zoe Greenberg shared valuable insights into professional journalism,presenting three real-life stories she reported."Every good story has an ethical or journalistic dilemma,"she explained.The class then used critical thinking skills to analyze these dilemmas and explore potential solutions. "If we want to equip students for an uncertain future and prepare them for meaningful careers, while also ensuring the survival of thoughtful,measured journalism in the age of Al,then the skills developed through these extracurriculars and courses really matter,"says EdGlassman,executive director of the CEL. The faint flicker(of Whitman's idea for a newspaper,two years past,now burns brightly. The Lantern,”he says,“is too big,too bright to turn off now.” 24.What do we know about The Campus Lantern? A.It was restarted through a CEL project. B.It was designed to be a journalism course. C.It was launched as a Middle School project. D.It was set up to replace Spark and The Torch. 25.Which word best describes Greenberg's guest lecture? A.Fictional. B.Case-based. C.Theoretical. D.Statistics-heavy. 26.How does Whitman describe The Lantern now? A.It has stopped publishing online. B.It needs appropriate adjustments. C.It runs the risk of expanding too fast. D.It has become a large-scale publication. 27.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Making News in the Information Age B.The Revival of a Student-Run Newspaper C.The Campus Lantern:A Literary Milestone D.Beyond the Headlines:SCH's Journalism Track 英语第5页（共12页） C Imagine wandering through a dark forest for hours,then traveling all the way home-in a straight line.Bull ants do this every night,and scientists have long wondered how.It turns out they use a previously unknown type of Moon compass-never seen before in the animal kingdom. To figure it out,Cody Freas,a behavioral ecologist,and his colleagues trapped bull ants the moment they left their nests.They allowed or denied the insects the chance to observe the Moon by grouping the individuals in a clear bottle or a black box.Then they brought them to an unfamiliar setting 200 meters away-an abandoned basketball court-to test which direction they traveled home. After comparing their separate paths,the team concluded the behavior of ants that could see moonlight was consistent with what's called a time-compensated(时间t补偿的)lunar compass. Essentially,the insects observe how quickly the Moon moves to estimate the relative position of their home and update that prediction with time The dynamic speed of the Moon's movement complicates this strategy.It rises slowly,speeds up when it's at the highest point in the sky,and then slows down as it sets.Ants could be terribly misled if they don't account for that,but the researchers discovered the insects have an inborn sense that the Moon's speed shifts,and they compensate for it. The discovery makes bull ants the first known animals to navigate using this type of compass. Navigating with the Moon presents several advantages.Unlike stars,which other insects use to navigate,the Moon is not blocked by light pollution,and it can be bright enough to breakthrough clouds.Bull ants also have specialized eyes that allow them to see circular patterns of polarized moonlight spreading across the sky,so they can sense the Moon's position,even when it's below the horizon. Freas says the study has given him a new appreciation of the Moon as a navigational aid."The more time you spend under the Moon,"he says,"the more it seems like a much better helper than you originally think." 28.Which aspect of the study does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A.The background.B.The purposes. C.The process. D.The findings. 29.What helps bull ants navigate correctly according to the text? A.Their familiarity with the path to home. B.Their tolerance for the Moon's movement. 英语第6页（共12页） C.Their independence from time compensation. D.Their adjustment to the Moon's speed change. 30.What can be inferred from the last but one paragraph? A.Bull ants can see the Moon below the horizon. B.Light pollution affects bull ants'sense of direction. C.Bull ants'eyes are characterized by circular patterns. D.Navigating with the Moon is reliable for the bull ants. 31.What does Freas think of bull ants using Moon compass? A.It's controversial. B.It's amazing. C.It's challenging. D.It's mysterious. D The electric grid (is under growing pressure.Energy demand is skyrocketing,electricity costs for customers are rising,and extreme weather events-which often cause grid disruptions-are increasing in frequency and intensity. One emerging solution could provide some relief.Virtual power plants(VPPs)can play a key role in providing reliable and affordable power on demand in seconds.VPPs are a network of distributed energy resources (DERs)-energy solutions such as solar and battery systems,smart thermostats,and electric vehicles installed at or close to homes and businesses-that can help balance electricity demand and supply. How Virtual Power Plants Work In places where VPP programs are Consumers'energy resources help power the grid available through a utility(供电公司) 口g自→ or third-party company,customers who Smart thermostats Solar &energy storage install DERs at their homes or businesses can enroll their devices into these programs.These customers are VPP control center then rewarded-usually in the form of a credit on their utility bill-in return D 冒冒吊 for allowing their DER to provide Electrie vehicles Energy storage energy to the grid when necessary. 2026 The Pew Charitable Trusts 英语第7页（共12页） Customers with batteries can typically reserve some battery capacity just for their personal use or even opt out of VPP events entirely. To send energy from a VPP to the grid,a central controller monitors VPP resources from hundreds or thousands of buildings and dispatches (their energy when it's needed most. Traditional power plants,on the other hand,generate a large amount of energy at one site and inject it onto the transmission grid. VPPs help ensure"resource adequacy,"a term experts use to refer to the ability of the grid to supply enough electricity at all times.So,in periods of high demand,VPPs can dispatch power from DERs to boost the supply from utility-scale generation,allowing utilities to rely on a more diverse set of generation sources across a broader geography.They can also automatically adjust devices such as thermostats during periods of high demand,thereby reducing electricity consumption. VPPs have scaled beyond the pilot stage and increasing energy demand is making it a more appealing solution to ensure a reliable grid.However,further regulatory and lawmaking efforts are necessary to enable these programs to be created and grow. 32.How are participants in VPP programs rewarded? A.Through priority power supply. B.Through reduced electricity bills. C.By getting free electrical devices. D.By receiving direct cash payments. 33.What makes VPPs more favorable than traditional power plants? A.A greener type of energy generated. B.A steadier control of electricity prices. C.A flexible supply of power on demand. D.A firm promise of uninterrupted power. 34.Which of the following is an example of how a VPP operates? A.A power plant increases output on a hot day. B.A factory builds a solar farm to power itself. C.Smart meters record real-time power use in homes. D.Home batteries feed power to the grid when needed. 35.What will still be needed for VPPs to grow further? A.Policy support. B.More pilot programs. C.Technical improvements. D.Stronger customer interest. 英语第8页（共12页） 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,marveling at the ease of cleanup,until I learned that the plastic lining may release toxins (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 adverse health effects. I then consulted Tracey Woodruff of UC San Francisco.People should just do what they can, she said.In the kitchen,opt for 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.Sheets and blankets matter because we breathe so close to the fibers for so many hours.40 What worried me was my children growing up in a world where all the objects around them seem bound to hurt them.Throwing the pans out seemed,for now, like the least I could do.And the most I could do,too. A.I threw out obvious offenders. B.We depend heavily on plastics. C.I wanted to make life safer for my children. D.I replaced my sons'with natural alternatives. E.Children are among those most at risk from plastics. F.One day,I decided to see how long I could go without using plastic. G.Plastic is not just everywhere in our homes,but everywhere,period. 英语第9页（共12页） 第三部分语言运用（共四节，满分30分） 第一节完形填空（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When we learned that a young client from Northern Africa would be arriving with a hearing disability,we did what seemed natural.We 41 our local partners and arranged for an American Sign Language (ASL)42 to be present upon arrival.It was a reasonable response,but it wasn't the 43 one.And we caught ourselves before it became a 44.

After weeks of begging,she finally agreed to lend it to me."Please be careful with it,"she said as she handed it over. I held it tightly against my chest and promised,"I'll guard it with my life!" But that promise lasted only three hours. On my way home,I held the book close,protecting it from the rain with my umbrella.Suddenly, a car drove through a puddle()nearby.I jumped back in surprise,and the book slipped from my hands.It fell right into the muddy water.I grabbed it immediately,my heart racing.The beautiful cover was now spotted with mud.When I opened it,my stomach dropped.There,on our favorite picture of Harry flying on his broomstick,was a tear running right through his broom. That night,I couldn't sleep.I kept staring at the damaged page,feeling terrible.Part of me wanted to lie and blame a runaway dog.Maybe Lily would believe me.But deep down,I knew that running away from my mistake wouldn't make it disappear-not the tear in the book,and not the guilt in my heart. So I decided to fix the book the way Lily would like:with a bit of magic.What if the tear wasn't just a tear,but a line of shining light?I pulled out my toolbox,found a gold pen,and took out some Harry Potter stickers I had been saving for years.My eyes landed on one particular sticker-a broomstick with wings.What if that broomstick had been flying beside Harry all along? 注意： 1.词数150左右： 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With these ideas in mind,I opened the book to the damaged page. The next morning,I walked up to Lily with the book in my hands. 英语第12页（共12页）
