A couple of years ago, Brian Floca was on an island off the coast of Maine when a storm rolled in. “There was this kind of electric charge in the air,” he remembers. “Just the sensory feeling of the storm coming. The wind, the waves, all of these elemental forces unloading themselves on the island.” But also the feeling of — “Is this safe? Should I really be doing this?”
That memory stuck with Floca — and gave him a great idea. His new children’s book, Island Storm, is about two kids who feel a storm coming, pull on their boots and head to the sea. As the waves crash and the rain starts to fall harder and harder, they ask each other, “Is this enough? Or do we try for more?” They decide to go on. Storms accompany children through every stage of their growth, allowing them to push the boundaries, feel fear, and learn from their adventures.
“It’s a little bit about the urge that we all have sometimes in life,” says Brian Floca. However, he laughs, “The book is not to encourage kids to chase storms. It’s to encourage them to be kids by risk-taking.” Floca invited Sydney Smith for illustrations. “I don’t think there’s anyone who handles water and weather the way Sydney does and with the depth of feeling,” Floca explains. “The illustrations can even be a little bit fearsome, as they communicate that feeling of genuine fear you get when you’re in the presence of something frightening, like a summer storm.”
“I think about childhood a lot in the sense that it’s discovering the line by crossing it,” says illustrator Sydney Smith. “This book acknowledges that this is what childhood is about — going too far and going back and discovering it on your own. You’re allowed that freedom. That’s a childhood in an ideal world.”
And in the end, it’s also a book about safety. The pair are there for each other, their mom is waiting for them at home, and the skies will clear.
4. What inspired Floca to write Island Storm?
A. His love for adventures.
B. His encounter with a storm.
C. His curiosity about nature.
D. His memory of chasing storms.
5. What does the storm symbolize in the book?
A. The power of nature.
B. Parental authority and rules.
C. The risk of growing up.
D. Irresponsible childhood behavior.
6. What does Floca imply about the illustrations?
A. They outperform the plots.
B. They show multiple techniques.
C. They express emotion vividly.
D. They display real-life situations.
7. What is an ideal childhood like in Sydney’s eyes?
A. It allows limitless exploration.
B. It encourages continuous travel.
C. It provides complete freedom.
D. It combines adventure and safety.

Chaotan One, the world’s first commercial power generator that uses supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO₂), has begun operations in China. This achievement breaks a century-old tradition of using steam for power generation, marking a major improvement in efficiency.
The invention of the steam engine was a first step towards the Industrial Revolution that changed the world. Over the years, the engine’s efficiency was further improved through different designs and fuels; however, the medium for doing work remained the same — steam.
Scientists seeking further improvements in power efficiency noticed that a significant portion of energy is wasted generating steam to drive turbines (涡轮机). Water needs to be boiled first and needs to undergo a phase change to generate steam. Scientists have been looking for a better medium to replace steam.
They found this in sCO₂. CO₂ exists as a gas at room temperature and can be cooled to form dry ice by reducing pressure and lowering temperature. When temperature is raised to 31°C, and pressure is increased to 7.37 MPa, CO₂ enters its supercritical state, where it exhibits properties of both a liquid and a gas. In applications such as moving a turbine, this is extremely useful since the gas-like state offers less resistance while the liquid-like state provides greater push power.
The power generation process works like this: The CO₂ is first pressurized into a supercritical state. Then the sCO₂ passes through a heat exchanger, absorbing heat from an external heat source, and its temperature rises to 400 — 600℃ with a substantial increase in internal energy. After that, it enters a turbine and expands rapidly, driving it to move at a high speed and transforming thermal (热的) energy into mechanical energy, which is then further turned into electrical energy for output. The CO₂ remains in a supercritical state throughout the entire process, with no phase change loss.
The success of the Chaotan One will likely start a new era in power generation, using CO₂ as a medium and bypassing the need to transform water into steam.
8. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2?
A. Highlight the value of steam. B. Applaud the past contributions.
C. Outline the Industrial Revolution. D. State the background of a new discovery.
9. What is the biggest problem with steam power generation?
A. Energy-intensive. B. Labor-demanding.
C. Noise-producing. D. Money-consuming.
10. What plays a key role in the high efficiency of Chaotan One?
A. The durability of turbines.
B. The quick commercialization of generators.
C. The easy availability of CO₂.
D. The continuity of CO₂’s supercritical state.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Unpredictable Changes of CO₂ B. Polarized Views on Chaotan One
C. A Pioneering sCO₂ Power Generator D. A Breakthrough in Steam Engine

Left-handed people, making up only about one in ten of the population, often face challenges in a world designed for right-handers. However, they are over-represented in certain one-on-one sports like fencing (击剑) and table tennis.
The conventional explanation for this is that the scarcity of lefties means right-handed athletes lack familiarity with them as opponents. Nevertheless, Dr. Tim Simon, a researcher in Italy, suspected that left-handers might have a natural-born advantage in these sports. To test his idea, Dr. Simon studied the performance of top athletes in badminton, table tennis, tennis and three types of fencing for over a decade. He reasoned that if the advantage was only due to unfamiliarity, it would decrease at the highest levels of competition, where players would be wise to lefties’ tricks. However, if it was an inborn factor, the advantage might actually increase.
His research revealed an interesting pattern. In foil (花剑) and épée fencing (重剑), and table tennis, there was indeed an increase in left-handedness at the summit. For example, 18% of the top 200 male epee fencers and 23% of the top male foil fencers were lefties, but that went up to 28% and 31% respectively when only the top 100 were considered. The other three sports, however, did not show this effect.
Dr. Simon suggests this difference comes from how left-handed people’s brains work. He believes their brains are especially good at processing visual, spatial and timing information and generating quick responses, which is crucial for those rapid-action sports such as foil and épée fencing. Table tennis requires similar skillfulness. Sabre fencing (佩剑), by contrast, involves larger swinging movements similar to those employed in tennis and badminton.
Even tiny differences in brain activity can make a huge impact at the highest level, where “being a split second faster than an opponent separates victory from defeat”. This research helps us understand that individual differences, even minute ones, can lead to unique strengths and successes.
12. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “scarcity” in paragraph 2?
A. Equality. B. Innocence. C. Rarity. D. Imbalance.
13. What did Simon’s experiment seek to distinguish between?
A. Different athletes’ tricks. B. Two sources of advantage.
C. Top players’ performance. D. The impacts of unfamiliarity.
14. What do the statistics in paragraph 3 imply?
A. Left-handers favor specific fencing styles.
B. A higher proportion of athletic left-handers.
C. The variations among different fencing events.
D. Lefties have an edge in certain top-level sports.
15. According to Dr. Simon, what accounts for lefties’ sport-specific excellence?
A. Their unique brain structure. B. Their superior technical skills.
C. Their swifter brain processing. D. Their special movement patterns.

Pothos (绿萝) plants are the perfect houseplants. They grow well with little care, although some care will help them grow best. Use the following methods to turn your plants into full and thick ones.
The first step in encouraging your pothos plants to grow faster is to provide them with a larger home. ____16____ You can start by removing your plants from their containers. Prepare a new container by placing fresh soil in the bottom. Set your plants on top, and backfill the soil so it covers the roots. Water well. Boom! Your plants have a new home.
After transplanting, check the vines (藤蔓) and look for long ones with few leaves. Cutting them back gives you new pieces to grow more plants. Start by removing the lower leaves from each cutting, leaving one or two leaves on the stems (茎). ____17____ This houseplant grows well in either.
While large changes like cutting and transplanting help pothos grow thicker and fuller, so do small practices like watering. ____18____ Keep a watering routine, and use your finger to check how wet the soil is before adding more water. If it feels dry about an inch or two deep, it’s time to water; if it’s still slightly wet, wait a little longer to avoid overwatering, which can harm the roots and slow growth.
____19____ Pothos vines appreciate bright indirect light indoors to promote healthy growth. If your window lacks bright indirect sunlight, try using grow lights to help the plants grow in dark rooms.
Fertilizing (施肥) also benefits these vines. Be sure to add fertilizer to your pothos following the instructions carefully, as the right amount can help promote healthy growth. ____20____ Your plants will thank you with bright green and shiny leaves that stay on the vines for a long time.
A. Place the lower parts in soil or water.
B. Then, position the plants closer to light.
C. Do so twice a year during the growing season.
D. Repotting allows them to have more space and nutrients.
E. Yellow or brown leaves and dry soil indicate a thirsty plant.
F. Nevertheless, they still appreciate bright light to grow their best.
G. Try to keep the stems unhurt, but do not worry if any parts fall off.

With only 200 feet left, Jeff did something ____29____. He stopped, helped Johnny out of the chair, and handed him his walker. Johnny had practiced for this moment — to finish on his own two feet. Step by step, they moved forward as the crowd watched in _____30_____ silence.
When they crossed the finish line together, the clock showed 16 hours, 55 minutes, and 35 seconds, with over four minutes to _____31_____. People rushed to celebrate Johnny, but Jeff quietly stepped back. Later, Johnny said, “My father didn’t want the _____32_____ for himself. He wanted it to be mine.”
Their story is not just about a race; it’s about a father’s love that knows no _____33_____. Jeff once said, “I started doing things I never dreamed of _____34_____.” And in teaching his son to reach for the impossible, he discovered that the true _____35_____ is not in winning, but in who you help cross the finish line.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Mary was very happy when she got her dream part-time job at the local bookshop. It was right next to her school, so she could walk there after classes. Her boss, Mr. Thompson, was very nice and trusted her with lots of important tasks from the beginning.
One afternoon, Mr. Thompson gave Mary and her classmate Alex a special task. He wanted them to make a plan to promote a new book series all written by teenagers. “This series is unique because it reflects the voices of young authors,” Mr. Thompson explained. “I’m counting on you two to come up with something that will truly connect with the young readers. You’ll have to finalize your plan before Friday since the school Reading Festival is just around the corner.”
Mary was very excited and happy to help. She nodded eagerly. “Absolutely, Mr. Thompson! I can’t wait to get started.” She was so thrilled that she couldn’t stop smiling on her way home. Finally, there was a chance to show everyone what she could do.
But working with Alex wasn’t going to be easy. Alex was known for being bossy and having strong opinions. When Mary met up with him at the library to discuss their project, she knew it would be tricky. “I’ve worked on similar projects before, and simple booths (展位) in the school courtyard always work, and we could hand out flyers,” Alex said, without even looking at Mary.
Mary frowned (皱眉头) as she thought about Alex’s idea. She knew that booths worked well, but she felt they could do something more exciting to catch the attention of their classmates. The new book series deserved a special promotion. “If we just follow the same old methods, how will this book series stand out?” Mary argued. “What if we have a book reading session with some authors? Or...?”
Alex, however, didn’t seem interested in exploring new ideas. He rolled his eyes at Mary’s suggestions for creativity, arguing that they didn’t have the time or resources to try new things. He believed the usual methods would work best.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Despite their different opinions, Mary tried to find a solution that both could agree on.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After the activity, Mr. Thompson called them into his office.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“超坦一号”以超临界二氧化碳替代蒸汽发电,突破百年传统,避免相变损耗,效率大幅提升,标志发电新时代开启。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。文章第一段介绍了文章主题:“超坦一号”以超临界二氧化碳替代蒸汽发电,这是一次科技的重大突破。第二段“The invention of the steam engine was a first step towards the Industrial Revolution that changed the world. Over the years, the engine’s efficiency was further improved through different designs and fuels; however, the medium for doing work remained the same — steam.(蒸汽机的发明是工业革命的开端,改变了整个世界。多年来,通过不同的设计和燃料,发动机的效率不断得到提高;然而,做功的介质始终是蒸汽)”可知,第二段主要介绍蒸汽作为动力的历史,阐述了“超坦一号”以超临界二氧化碳替代蒸汽发电的背景信息。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Scientists seeking further improvements in power efficiency noticed that a significant portion of energy is wasted generating steam to drive turbines (涡轮机). Water needs to be boiled first and needs to undergo a phase change to generate steam.(寻求进一步提高发电效率的科学家们注意到,在驱动涡轮机时产生蒸汽会浪费大量能量。水需要先被加热,然后经历相变才能产生蒸汽)”可知,蒸汽发电的弊端是耗能高。Energy-intensive的意思是“高耗能的”。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题,根据第五段“The CO₂ remains in a supercritical state throughout the entire process, with no phase change loss.(整个过程中,二氧化碳始终处于超临界状态,不存在相变损失)”可知,本段介绍了利用二氧化碳发电的全过程后指出,整个过程二氧化碳始终处于超临界状态,不存在相变损失,所以说二氧化碳超临界状态的连续性是“超坦一号”高效的关键。故选D项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Chaotan One, the world’s first commercial power generator that uses supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO₂), has begun operations in China. This achievement breaks a century-old tradition of using steam for power generation, marking a major improvement in efficiency.(超坦一号是全球首台使用超临界二氧化碳作为能源的商业发电设备,现已在中国投入运行。这一成就打破了使用蒸汽进行发电的百年传统,标志着效率有了重大提升)”并综合全文可知,本文主要介绍了超临界二氧化碳发电机技术取代了蒸汽发电,这是一个重大突破。C项意思是:一种开创性的超临界二氧化碳动力发电机,概括文章主旨。故选C项。
D
Left-handed people, making up only about one in ten of the population, often face challenges in a world designed for right-handers. However, they are over-represented in certain one-on-one sports like fencing (击剑) and table tennis.
The conventional explanation for this is that the scarcity of lefties means right-handed athletes lack familiarity with them as opponents. Nevertheless, Dr. Tim Simon, a researcher in Italy, suspected that left-handers might have a natural-born advantage in these sports. To test his idea, Dr. Simon studied the performance of top athletes in badminton, table tennis, tennis and three types of fencing for over a decade. He reasoned that if the advantage was only due to unfamiliarity, it would decrease at the highest levels of competition, where players would be wise to lefties’ tricks. However, if it was an inborn factor, the advantage might actually increase.
His research revealed an interesting pattern. In foil (花剑) and épée fencing (重剑), and table tennis, there was indeed an increase in left-handedness at the summit. For example, 18% of the top 200 male epee fencers and 23% of the top male foil fencers were lefties, but that went up to 28% and 31% respectively when only the top 100 were considered. The other three sports, however, did not show this effect.
Dr. Simon suggests this difference comes from how left-handed people’s brains work. He believes their brains are especially good at processing visual, spatial and timing information and generating quick responses, which is crucial for those rapid-action sports such as foil and épée fencing. Table tennis requires similar skillfulness. Sabre fencing (佩剑), by contrast, involves larger swinging movements similar to those employed in tennis and badminton.
Even tiny differences in brain activity can make a huge impact at the highest level, where “being a split second faster than an opponent separates victory from defeat”. This research helps us understand that individual differences, even minute ones, can lead to unique strengths and successes.
12. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “scarcity” in paragraph 2?
A. Equality. B. Innocence. C. Rarity. D. Imbalance.
13. What did Simon’s experiment seek to distinguish between?
A. Different athletes’ tricks. B. Two sources of advantage.
C. Top players’ performance. D. The impacts of unfamiliarity.
14. What do the statistics in paragraph 3 imply?
A. Left-handers favor specific fencing styles.
B. A higher proportion of athletic left-handers.
C. The variations among different fencing events.
D. Lefties have an edge in certain top-level sports.
15. According to Dr. Simon, what accounts for lefties’ sport-specific excellence?
A. Their unique brain structure. B. Their superior technical skills.
C. Their swifter brain processing. D. Their special movement patterns.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要说明了左撇子在部分单人对抗运动中占比更高,研究证实其优势并非只源于陌生感,而是大脑信息处理更快,微小脑部差异能决定顶级赛事胜负。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“Left-handed people, making up only about one in ten of the population, often face challenges in a world designed for right-handers.(左撇子仅占人口的约十分之一,他们在这样一个为右撇子设计的世界里常常会遭遇诸多困难)”可知,左撇子仅占人口十分之一,数量少,很稀有,故划线词意思是“稀有”。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“To test his idea, Dr. Simon studied the performance of top athletes in badminton, table tennis, tennis and three types of fencing for more than a decade. He reasoned that if the advantage was only due to unfamiliarity, it would decrease at the highest levels of competition, where players would be wise to lefties’ tricks. However, if it was an inborn factor, the advantage might actually increase.(为了验证自己的这一观点,西蒙博士对顶尖运动员在羽毛球、乒乓球、网球以及三种击剑项目中的表现进行了长达十多年的研究。他推断,如果这种优势仅仅是由于不熟悉所致,那么在最高水平的比赛中这种优势就会减弱,因为在那里,选手们会识破左撇子的招数。然而,如果这是一种与生俱来的因素,那么这种优势实际上可能会进一步增强)”可知,西蒙的实验旨在区分两种不同的优势来源。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“His research revealed an interesting pattern. In foil (花剑) and épée fencing (重剑), and table tennis, there was indeed an increase in left-handedness at the summit. For example, 18% of the top 200 male épée fencers and 23% of the top male foil fencers were lefties, but that went up to 28% and 31% respectively when only the top 100 were considered. The other three sports, however, did not show this effect.(他的研究揭示了一个有趣的规律。在花剑、重剑以及乒乓球项目中,顶尖选手中左撇子的占比明显更高。例如,男子重剑前两百名选手中左撇子占18%,男子花剑前两百名中占23%;而仅统计前一百名时,这一比例分别升至28%和31%。但其余三项运动并未出现这一现象)”可知,第三段中的这些数字意味着左撇子在某些顶级运动项目中具有优势。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“He believes their brains are especially good at processing visual, spatial and timing information and generating quick responses, which is crucial for those rapid-action sports such as foil and épéé fencing.(他认为他们的大脑在处理视觉、空间以及时间信息方面尤为出色,并且能够迅速做出反应,这对于诸如花剑和重剑击剑这类需要快速反应的运动来说至关重要)”可知,据西蒙博士所说,导致左撇子在特定运动项目中表现出色的原因是他们的大脑处理信息的速度更快。

Pothos (绿萝) plants are the perfect houseplants. They grow well with little care, although some care will help them grow best. Use the following methods to turn your plants into full and thick ones.
The first step in encouraging your pothos plants to grow faster is to provide them with a larger home. ____16____ You can start by removing your plants from their containers. Prepare a new container by placing fresh soil in the bottom. Set your plants on top, and backfill the soil so it covers the roots. Water well. Boom! Your plants have a new home.
After transplanting, check the vines (藤蔓) and look for long ones with few leaves. Cutting them back gives you new pieces to grow more plants. Start by removing the lower leaves from each cutting, leaving one or two leaves on the stems (茎). ____17____ This houseplant grows well in either.
While large changes like cutting and transplanting help pothos grow thicker and fuller, so do small practices like watering. ____18____ Keep a watering routine, and use your finger to check how wet the soil is before adding more water. If it feels dry about an inch or two deep, it’s time to water; if it’s still slightly wet, wait a little longer to avoid overwatering, which can harm the roots and slow growth.
____19____ Pothos vines appreciate bright indirect light indoors to promote healthy growth. If your window lacks bright indirect sunlight, try using grow lights to help the plants grow in dark rooms.
Fertilizing (施肥) also benefits these vines. Be sure to add fertilizer to your pothos following the instructions carefully, as the right amount can help promote healthy growth. ____20____ Your plants will thank you with bright green and shiny leaves that stay on the vines for a long time.
A. Place the lower parts in soil or water.
B. Then, position the plants closer to light.
C. Do so twice a year during the growing season.
D. Repotting allows them to have more space and nutrients.
E. Yellow or brown leaves and dry soil indicate a thirsty plant.
F. Nevertheless, they still appreciate bright light to grow their best.
G. Try to keep the stems unhurt, but do not worry if any parts fall off.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Mary was very happy when she got her dream part-time job at the local bookshop. It was right next to her school, so she could walk there after classes. Her boss, Mr. Thompson, was very nice and trusted her with lots of important tasks from the beginning.
One afternoon, Mr. Thompson gave Mary and her classmate Alex a special task. He wanted them to make a plan to promote a new book series all written by teenagers. “This series is unique because it reflects the voices of young authors,” Mr. Thompson explained. “I’m counting on you two to come up with something that will truly connect with the young readers. You’ll have to finalize your plan before Friday since the school Reading Festival is just around the corner.”
Mary was very excited and happy to help. She nodded eagerly. “Absolutely, Mr. Thompson! I can’t wait to get started.” She was so thrilled that she couldn’t stop smiling on her way home. Finally, there was a chance to show everyone what she could do.
But working with Alex wasn’t going to be easy. Alex was known for being bossy and having strong opinions. When Mary met up with him at the library to discuss their project, she knew it would be tricky. “I’ve worked on similar projects before, and simple booths (展位) in the school courtyard always work, and we could hand out flyers,” Alex said, without even looking at Mary.
Mary frowned (皱眉头) as she thought about Alex’s idea. She knew that booths worked well, but she felt they could do something more exciting to catch the attention of their classmates. The new book series deserved a special promotion. “If we just follow the same old methods, how will this book series stand out?” Mary argued. “What if we have a book reading session with some authors? Or...?”
Alex, however, didn’t seem interested in exploring new ideas. He rolled his eyes at Mary’s suggestions for creativity, arguing that they didn’t have the time or resources to try new things. He believed the usual methods would work best.

【答案】Despite their different opinions, Mary tried to find a solution that both could agree on. She suggested a combined approach: setting up a booth as Alex proposed, but also including a small book reading session at lunch break. “We could have a couple of student authors read excerpts from the new series,” she explained. Reluctantly, Alex agreed, seeing that a compromise might be the best way forward. For the next few days, Mary and Alex worked together, dividing the tasks and planning the promotion. By Friday, they had set up the booth with colorful decorations and arranged the book reading session.
After the activity, Mr. Thompson called them into his office. He was beaming with pride. “You both did an excellent job,” he said. “The reading session was a big hit, and many students showed interest in the new series.” Alex smiled and nodded, recognizing Mary’s contribution. “I have to admit, your idea for the book reading was a good one,” he said. Mary felt relieved and happy that their hard work paid off. They realized that by combining their ideas, they could create something truly remarkable. From that day forward, they worked well as a team, respecting each other’s strengths and learning from each other.
