【原文】W: Sorry I’m late, the traffic was awful. Have you checked out our group project yet?
M: Just took a quick look. The analysis part looks pretty challenging.
W: Yeah, I think so. Why don’t we go over the main points together?

【原文】W: Hi, I’m calling about booking two rooms for this Saturday evening.
M: Sure, it is 215 pounds per room. That’s the weekend price. It’s 175 pounds on weekdays.
W: Okay, that works for me.
3. B
【原文】M: Now, what would you like me to do?
W: With all the recent storms, the glass in the kitchen door is broken. I really need that fixed.
M: You mean it needs replacing? I’ll get that done right away.

【原文】M: Hi Laura, could you spare a few minutes to talk about the on the job training workshop you attended last summer? I’m considering signing up for one myself.
W: Sure, Tim, what would you like to know?
5. C
【原文】M: How was your trip?
W: It got me right on the first day but to my great surprise it rained quite a number of days, so I was forced to replan my route.
M: Oh, that’s too bad.

【原文】W: Hello, fast cycle rentals shop. How can I assist you?
M: Hi, I’m planning to explore the city and need a bike. Could you tell me your rental options?
W: Absolutely. For city rides we usually recommend the classic bicycle and it’s lightweight and easy to operate on flat surfaces. You won’t need a mountain or cross bike unless you’re tackling hills or rough ground.
M: No, I’ll just be sticking to the main roads and paths. The classic one sounds fine.
W: Perfect. The price is 52 pounds for the day, a reduction from our usual rate of 65.
M: Great, I’ll try to come by. And what’s your address?

【原文】W: Honey, let’s choose a swimming pool for our family this weekend. The kids really want to go swimming.
M: Absolutely. I have checked all the swimming pools in the town and there are several choices for us.
W: Great. Tell me about them.
M: Sure, the first one is called happy summer, mainly for young children. There’s a cafe, too, but it is only open during the day and there is no parking lot nearby.
W: That’s too bad. What are the other options?
M: Blue ocean is quite good, it’s open to entry level swimmers and they have changing rooms for you so it’s quite convenient.
W: Good. When does it open? We only have time in the evenings.
M: I’m afraid. It opens from nine am to five p. m. every day. How about water bay? It opens from two p. m. to nine p. m. and it provides free lockers for your stuff.
W: I might consider that.

【原文】W: Good morning, may I come in?
M: Good morning Ms. Lynn, please take a seat. I’d like to start with a quick overview of your background. Could you tell me why you left your last position?
W: My previous job required frequent night shifts and with a young child at home, I found it impossible to manage.
M: Understood. I think there are some options for you. The first one is reception assistant at the park view hotel. This hotel has quite an international flavour, so you’ll need to speak at least two foreign languages.
W: Sure, I can speak fluent French and Chinese.
M: Excellent. Another choice is general assistant at the lakeside hotel. To be honest, the pay is rather low, but the meals are provided free of charge.
W: That sounds great, but can I have a few days to think it over and go back to you later?
M: That’s no problem.

【原文】 M: Good afternoon, and welcome to the City Hour. Today we have with us CynthiaSmith, who is in charge of this year’s City Fair.
W: Hello, Ron.
M: Well, Cynthia, would you start by giving us some of the basic information about the fair?
Where will it take place this year?
W: I know most people expect the fair to be held at the amusement ground as usual, but we have to change the location this year. They’re building the new school nearby, and the amusement ground is used to store construction materials, so we’ve moved it to the city park.
M: That will be a great place for the fair. Could you tell our listeners about the event plan for Saturday and Sunday, the main days of the fair?
W: On Saturday evening, there will be a cartoon show and a magic show for children. On Sunday afternoon, the whole family can enjoy a concert by the lake.
M: I’m sure that will be very popular. Thank you for sharing the information with us.
W: Thank you for inviting me.

Noah’s aching hands seemed to agree with his brother’s words. For a moment, he stood frozen, torn between exhaustion and responsibility. Walking away meant warmth and rest, yet Mrs. Williams’ trusting smile appeared in his mind, reminding him of the confidence she had placed in them. He held the shovel tightly, bent down, and continued clearing the snow. Lucas watched him quietly and soon joined him without hesitation. Side by side, they worked through the bitter cold. In the fading light, the driveway slowly took shape under their steady effort.
As they cleared the final shovel of snow, Mrs. Williams’ car returned. She looked at the perfectly shoveled driveway with pleasant surprise and expressed genuine appreciation, saying that she had known they would keep their promise. A quiet warmth spread inside the boys. On the way home, Noah touched the twenty-dollar bill in his pocket. Their dream of the red bicycle felt a little closer, yet he realized that what they earned that day was far more valuable than money. The lesson about honesty would stay with them long after the snow melted.
2.续写线索:Noah也赞同哥哥的话,但是,他突然想起Williams夫人的信任—于是他决定继续清理积雪,而Lucas静静看着他,也加入他一起清理积雪—慢慢地,车道开始露出原貌— Williams夫人也回来了—她看着干干净净的车道,非常感动,她感谢了俩人的信守承诺—兄弟俩也明白了诚实的重要性

A
Do fun activities on Pi Day Pi Day is marked every year on March 14 by scientists, mathematicians, and schools. Pi is a never-ending number or ratio (比率). The first three digits of pi are 3. 14, which is why the holiday is celebrated on March 14. In 2009, the US House of Representatives established it as National Pi Day. Here’s how to celebrate that day and more.
Play pi games
You can challenge yourself to see how many digits of pi you can memorize. The first 16 digits, which NASA engineers use to make accurate calculations, are 3.141592653589793. You could also play a beanbag game. Dra w a large circle on the ground in chalk and label it with the first few numbers of pi:3,1, and 4. Toss (投掷) beanbags and try to land them on the digits of pi in order, starting with 3. Have a feast
Get into the spirit of Pi Day with a special meal that features round objects. For example, you might have bagels, doughnuts, pancakes, pizza, tortillas, or burgers. Another way to celebrate Pi Day is to bake a pie to share with family and friends.
Pi in everyday
life Humans have used pi to build, explore, and advance technology.
Architecture
Engineers use pi to ensure safety and stability when designing curved bridges and tunnels and in design elements like arches and round columns.
Space exploration
Scientists use pi to map the surface area of planets, keep the wheels of rovers (探测器) on Mars turning, and measure craters on moons.
Navigation Global
positioning systems (GPS), like you might find in apps that give directions, use pi to calculate specific locations on Earth.
21. Why is March 14 celebrated as Pi Day?
A. To mark the passage of a 2009 bill.
B. To reflect the never-ending ratio of 3 / 14.
C. To correspond to the starting numbers of pi.
D. To honor the birth of a great mathematician.
22. Which activity mainly challenges your memory?
A. Calculating the area of a chalk circle.
B. Reciting a long string of pi’s numbers.
C. Tracking the landing order of beanbags.
D. Selecting round-shaped food for a meal.
23. Which is an application of pi in everyday life?
A. Measuring the weight of Mars rovers.
B. Adjusting GPS positioning in location apps.
C. Improving the structural soundness of bridges.
D. Increasing the load-bearing strength of columns.
B
Several years ago, I was addicted to personal bests (PBs). I treated every run as a never-ceasing battle against time with my GPS watch serving as my judge. Failure seemed certain unless I hit the target pace while success merely fueled the urge to map out how to go faster next time.
It was two years before this means of running brought out multiple physical discomforts in me. Then a major injury — my broken ankle — sidelined me for three months, forcing me to switch to long, unhurried walks in the nearby park — no watch, no headphones and just the rhythm of my footsteps. It came as a revelation: I noticed the golden color of dusk filtering through oak leaves, the laughter of children echoing from the playground and the smell of freshly baked bread floating from a nearby bakery.
When I returned to running, I resolved to abandon the addiction to PBs, opting for a pace gentle enough to allow off-key singing without breathing heavily. I joined a social running group, where we paused to pet dogs and share weekly stories. Then trail running, where roots and rocks demand full attention to footing rather than speed, became my new pursuit. Initially, it felt odd, like I was cheating, casting me into a mild state of disquiet with this unaccustomed pace. Soon, this shift brought clarity.
One Saturday dawn, an aimless run led me to a reservoir. As I watched the sunlight sparkling on the water, I realized I hadn’t checked my electronic watch even once-no thoughts of pace or distance, just pure pleasure in running. That’s when it hit me: The essence of running doesn’t lie in pursuing data but in fully inhabiting the present, embracing surrounding delights and connecting with my body, nature and the world. That, indeed, is the greatest personal best of all.
Now, I run to unwind after a long workday, to bond with friends and to witness sunrises.
Occasionally I race at full speed, only when it feels fulfilling, not driven by a device and letting go of the need to prove myself.

Getting the most out of going to galleries involves more than just showing up. While a casual approach — “I don’t know much about art, but I know what I like” — might satisfy some, truly appreciating a painting requires a determination to go deeper.
Trust your eyes. The visual arts are not called the visual arts for nothing. Art is made to be looked at. And when your eyes decide whether they like something or not, they are drawing on the experience of a lifetime. So trust your eyes when they whisper their first impressions. Why do so many people love Van Gogh’s Sunflowers? The moment you see them, they feel uplifting, joyous, and instantly pleasurable, reminding your eyes of the colour, mood and joy of a sunny day.
Your eyes may be the most important organ for looking at art, but the heart runs them a close second. When we look at a painting, we get somebody’s message sent to us. One heart is trying to speak to another. Take Daughters Chasing a Butterfly by Thomas Gainsborough for example. The first thing to feel is, of course, the artist’s love for his little girls. To my eyes, it’s entirely unmissable. The two girls, their faces recorded with so much insider skills, are chasing a butterfly, which has landed on a prickly (有刺的) plant. When they try to grab it, they might get hurt. So a loving daddy hasn’t just painted his love for his daughters. He has also painted — and this is where the heart comes in — his fears for them.
If you judge art by your own level of competence or understanding, you’re looking at art through a blindfold. In Truner’s The Fighting Temeraire, the old boat, bathed in an orange and purple sunset, is packed with significance and symbolism about a lost life and the end of the road. Just look at the power, the intensity, the volcanic brilliance of his depiction (描绘). Instead of limiting your appreciation to what you like, expand it to include what many others have liked before you.
Like all life’s profound pleasures, looking at art is a complex business. More accurately, it’s a pleasure with many layers and stages. But for the experienced art lover, the real joy is in the build-up, the delicious journey, the awesome pay-off.
28. What are viewers advised to do first in looking at art?
A. Go over the history of art. B. Draw on artists’ experience.
C. Compare with other artwork. D. Rely on initial visual impressions.
29. Why is Gainsborough’s painting mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. Love is popular in family-themed paintings.
B. Viewing art involves heart-to-heart connection.
C. Art is a visual record of an artist’s personal life.
D. Viewers are easily struck by the skills of artists.
30. What does the author suggest about judging art in paragraph 4?
A. Considering others’ opinions. B. Trusting your own judgment.
C. Sticking to personal taste. D. Turning to realistic works.
31. What is the text mainly about?
A. How to better engage with art. B. How to read artists’ emotion.
C. How to better evaluate visual arts. D. How to analyze famous paintings.
D
Power bills are going up in America and people are angry. They know whom to blame — the bosses of technology firms thirsting for more juice to fuel artificial-intelligence data centres. However, the AI boom is not chiefly to blame for the rising costs.
Electricity prices have risen faster than inflation (通货膨胀) in recent years (see chart). Data centres are indeed consuming more power than before and, as Goldman Sachs, a bank, holds, will account for nearly half of the overall demand growth in America in the coming years. Yeteven business forecasts put data centres’ share of total demand at only a fifth in 2030. Today it is less than a tenth.
A study conducted last year showed that data-centre load was not the main cause of the rate rises in the five years to 2024. It fingered grid (电网) upgrades and rising costs of power-generating equipment and raw materials. It is estimated that last year demand for distribution transformers outran supply by 10%. There are also long waiting lists for essential grid-related equipment.
Many prices started going up in early 2021, nearly two years before the rapid growth AI. They are likely to keep rising for non-AI reasons. The Edison Electric Institute, which represents private-sector power companies, predicts its members’ total capital spending will reach $1.1trn between 2025 and 2029. More than half the sum for distribution and transmission infrastructure (基础设施) will go on replacing ageing equipment and hardening it against extreme weather made likelier by climate change. These factors have been ignored for years. Now AI provides an excuse to help win approval from regulators to pass the cost on to consumers.
AI may even be lowering prices. The tech giants are already investing in their own capacity. Microsoft has signed a long-term deal to restart a nuclear reactor at Three Mile Island to supply its data centres. Meta has backed a handful of nuclear startups. The World Resources Institute, another think-tank, notes that in North Dakota rising demand from oil and gas production, data-centre operators and food-processors led to large price reductions for local electricity users. Definitely, if Americans want lower electricity bills, they should be shouting for more AI, not less.
32. Why does the author mention public anger in paragraph 1?
A. To highlight a social conflict. B. To criticize a current issue.
C. To introduce a common belief. D. To oppose an energy policy.
33. What have mainly contributed to the rising electricity prices in paragraphs 3 & 4?
A. AI Growth and data demand. B. Big Tech and market shares.
C. Grid upgrades and facility costs. D. Climate change and capital spending.
34. How does the author develop the last paragraph?
A. By making a contrast. B. By providing examples.
C. By describing a study. D. By drawing conclusions.
35. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Hidden Costs: The Impact of Rapid AI Development
B. Going Nuclear: A Potential Solution to Power Shortage
C. Energy Reform: How to Reduce Monthly Electricity Bills
D. Beyond AI: Uncovering the Real Drivers of Rising Power Costs

In just over a month, Australia will start a social media ban (禁令). From December 10, people under 16 will only be able to see public content on platforms (平台) such as Facebook and TikTok, and they will not be allowed to have their own accounts. 36 But many parents worry about how teens will respond.
My research shows social and digital media use is already a major source of family conflict. Young people often pressure parents for devices or certain apps to keep in touch with their friends. So a government reason for the ban is to help parents manage this problem. 37
However, we still don’t know what will happen on December 10. Some experts argue young people may get around the ban, for example with apps that hide identity (身份). This calls for solutions. 38 Because children are different, parents should act based on family values and a child’s individuality.
Even so, if teens are used to social media and suddenly it’s gone, they may feel sad or angry, and parents will have to manage the results. Social media is not only mindless scrolling (滚动屏幕). 39 Therefore, they will need other ways to stay in touch, and parents should help them keep friendships. Parents should also know that this change can be difficult.
40 So parents should explain that less time on social media can reduce endless scrolling and cyberbullying (网络霸凌). Yet the ban does not make kids 100 percent “safe” online: they may move to other spaces, and the ban covers only some platforms. So parents should keep talking about what children see and do online, help them build the ability to judge online information. Also, they need to stay interested and willing to guide their children instead of controlling everything.
A. It can help young people build connections.
B. Some safety experts and parents welcome this.
C. But there is no one right answer for every family.
D. It may be easier for them to say, “This is the law.”
E. It is sometimes hard to see eye to eye with each other.
F. Actually, young people respond better to rules when given a clear reason.
G. This is eating away at the close relationship between parents and children.

I had many adventures as a child, but one stands out on the local football field at Pacaembu, Brazil, the home of many football geniuses.

I had to walk the rest of the way, 49 my heavy kitbag. People stared at my face in shock, but I kept moving. The long walk home felt like a lonely march of 50 .
When I finally arrived, my grandmother treated the wound with medicine. Seeing my downcast eyes, she whispered, “The mark on your face isn’t a sign of failure, but a proof of your 51 . You stood where others wouldn’t.” Her words 52 me faster than any treatment.
That wasn’t the only time I got hurt on those overused playgrounds. Injuries were frequent, but they 53 me for the struggles ahead. Over time, I realized the wound became a medal of 54 , a symbol of pride and courage. It taught me being a sportsman meant 55 every ball life throws without fear.

Every day after school, Lucas and Noah pressed their noses against Mr. Henderson’s shop window. They stared at the red bicycle that stood proudly in the center of the display. For months, they had saved every spare coin, yet the price still seemed far beyond their reach.
When the first snow of winter covered their town, the brothers saw an opportunity. They grabbed their shovels (铲子), determined to turn the snowfall into savings through hard work.
They started in their own neighborhood. But many residents had already cleared their walkways, and those who hadn’t only offered a few coins for short paths. After several tiring hours, they had earned just seven dollars — far less than they hoped.
Refusing to give up, they headed to Maple Street, where the houses were bigger and the driveways deeper in snow. Noah knocked on the door of a beautiful Victorian house. Mrs. Williams answered, looking like she was in a hurry. When Noah asked if she needed her driveway shoveled, she agreed at once. She took a twenty-dollar bill from her purse and placed it into Noah’s hand.
“I have to rush out,” she said with an encouraging smile. “I’ll leave it in your capable hands.”
The boys stared at the bill, amazed. Twenty dollars — more than they had made the entire day! Laughing in disbelief, they set to work with fresh energy. The initial excitement carried them through the first hour of work. But as the afternoon darkened and the temperature dropped, the work became harder. Their hands grew numb (麻木), their muscles ached, and the long driveway seemed endless.
Halfway through, Lucas threw down his shovel in frustration (沮丧). “Let’s just go. She’ll never know we didn’t finish.”
