第二节 完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)
During my first semester at senior high, I was overwhelmed by a flood of unfamiliar faces and endless academic pressure. I was a shy, introspective student who seldom ____16____ myself to others, so I often wandered the campus during breaks, feeling ____17____ disconnected from the noisy world around me.
One afternoon, as I sat silently on a bench in the corner of the school garden, Mrs. Wilson, the school counselor, ____18____ and sat beside me. Instead of ____19____ me with depressing (令人沮丧的) questions, she gently shared how she once felt ____20____ as a new teacher. Her words were so ____21____ that I gradually let down my guard.
She told me that loneliness was not a sign of weakness, but a ____22____ experience in adolescence (青春期). She ____23____ me to join the school’s “Companion Club”, where students volunteered to ____24____ new students and help them ____25____ to campus life. I hesitated for long, but her smile finally ____26____ me.
To my great surprise, the club was far more meaningful than I had ____27____. Instead of performing simple tasks, we listened ____28____ to those who felt lost, offered support, and organized small events to help people ____29____. I began to talk more, laugh more, and step out of my own ____30____ world into a brighter one.
What touches me most is that I have found my true voice; moreover, I have also gained ____31____ from caring for others. As I helped newcomers find their sense of ____32____, I myself recovered confidence and peace. The once cold, ____33____ campus turned into a warm community where every heart was ____34____.
This experience taught me a valuable lesson: kindness is not a dramatic gesture, but a ____35____ choice to see, understand and embrace one another. A simple smile or a patient ear can relieve the darkest loneliness and light up someone’s entire world.

SickKids High School Volunteer Programs
SickKids offers dynamic programs tailored for high school students eager to make a difference. Whether during the summer break or the academic year, the two initiatives provide a unique opportunity for students to gain hands-on experience and contribute to our community in meaningful ways.
The Summer Volunteer Program
This program offers two main types of roles to suit different interests. First, in Hospital Support roles, students help in places like the Family Centre or Gift Shop to help create a friendly environment. Alternatively, those in Child Life roles join in play activities and help keep a playroom safe. Please note that volunteers in Child Life roles must be willing to put on necessary protective equipment, such as masks and protective clothing, as many positions require entering rooms where patients are kept separated.
The Co-op Program
Unlike the summer option, this program gives students in Grades 11 and 12 the chance to explore healthcare or research careers during their regular school terms. Students can earn school credit while taking part in hands-on positions. These roles can include office work, interacting with patients, or doing research in the Hospital and Research Institute.
Eligibility (资格) Requirements
To be considered for either program, applicants must meet specific criteria. You must be currently a high school student and be at least 16 years of age by the program’s start date. For the Summer Program, volunteers must commit to working three hours every weekday (Monday to Friday) throughout July or August. Due to the program’s intensive nature, we are strictly unable to accommodate absences. Therefore, please consider any personal conflicts, such as summer courses or family vacations, before applying.
Application Information
The Summer Program runs in two separate sessions: July 2-31 and August 1-31. However, applications for both months must be submitted online in March. The program is highly competitive, with around 400 applicants competing for only 50 summer spots.
36. What feature do the two volunteer programs at SickKids have in common?
A. They both help with school coursework. B. They both provide practical experience.

In 2004, when my daughter Becky was ten, she and my husband, Joe, were united in their desire for a dog. As for me, I shared none of their wish.
But why, they pleaded. “Because I don’t have time to take care of a dog.” But we’ll do it. “Really? You’re going to walk the dog? Feed the dog? Bathe the dog?” Yes, yes and yes. “I don’t believe you.” We will. We promise.
They didn’t. From day two (everyone wanted to walk the cute puppy that first day), neither thought to walk the dog. While I was slow to accept that I would be the one to keep track of her shots, to schedule her vet appointments, to feed and clean her, Misty knew this on day one. As she looked up at the three new humans in her life (small, medium, and large), she calculated, “The medium one is the sucker in the pack.”
Quickly, she and I developed something very similar to a Vulcan mind meld (心灵融合). She’d look at me with those sad brown eyes of hers, beam her need, and then wait, trusting I would understand, which, strangely, I almost always did. In no time, she became my fifth appendage (附肢), snoring on my home-office couch as I worked, cradling against my feet as I read, and splaying across my stomach as I watched television.
Even so, part of me continued to resent walking duty. Joe and Becky had promised. Not fair, I’d balk (不心甘情愿地做) silently as she and I walked. “Not fair.” I’d loudly remind anyone within earshot upon our return home.
Then one day — January 1, 2007, to be exact — my husband’s doctor uttered an unthinkable word: leukemia (白血病). With that, I spent eight to ten hours a day with Joe in the hospital, doing anything and everything I could to ease his discomfort. During those six months of hospitalizations, Becky,12 at that time, adjusted to other adults being in the house when she returned from school. My work colleagues adjusted to my taking off at a moment’s notice for medical emergencies. Every part of my life changed; no part of my old routine remained.
Save one: Misty still needed walking. At the beginning, when friends offered to take her through her paces, I declined because I knew they had their own households to deal with.
As the months went by, I began to realize that I actually wanted to walk Misty. The walk in the morning before I headed to the hospital was a quiet, peaceful time to gather my thoughts or to just be before the day’s medical drama unfolded. The evening walk was a time to shake off the day’s upsets and let the worry tracks in my head go to white noise.
When serious illness visits your household, it’s not just your daily routine and your assumptions about the future that are no longer familiar. Pretty much everyone you know acts differently.
After Joe died in 2009, Misty slept on his pillow.
I’m grateful — to a point. The truth is, after years of balking, I’ve come to enjoy my walks with Misty. As I watch her chase a squirrel, throwing her whole being into the here-and-now of an exercise that has never once ended in victory, she reminded me, too, that no matter how harsh the present or unpredictable the future, there’s almost always some measure of joy to be extracted from the moment.
41. It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that ______.
A. Misty was quite smart
B. Misty could solve math problems
C. The writer was a slow learner
D. No one walked Misty the first day
42. What can we learn from Paragraphs 4 and 5?
A. The author didn’t want to walk the dog because she didn’t like her.
B. The dog was naughty and annoying.
C. Although loving the dog, she was reluctant to walk her.
D. She always shouted at the dog while walking.
43. The story came to its turning point when ______.
A. Joe died in 2009 B. the writer began to walk the dog
C. Joe fell ill in 2007 D. the dog tried to please the writer
44. Why did the writer continue to walk Misty while Joe was in hospital?
A. The walk provided her with spiritual comfort.
B. Her friends didn’t offer any help.
C. She could unfold the day’s medical drama.
D. She didn’t want Misty to be others’ companion.
45. What message does the author want to convey in the passage?
A. One should learn to enjoy hard times.
B. A disaster can change everything in life.
C. Moments of joy suggest that there is still hope ahead.
D. People will change their attitude toward you when you are in difficulty.

A quantum battery (量子电池) has been built within a quantum computer, marking a significant step toward determining if it could one day power future quantum technologies.
Conventional batteries store energy through chemical reactions. Quantum batteries, however, rely on tiny particles called quantum bits (qubits, 量子比特). Instead of chemicals, these batteries store energy by focusing on the various ways these particles can stay in at the same time — a phenomenon called superposition (叠加). This unique process may lead to better battery performance.
Some studies have shown that using these special features can result in faster charging, but the practicality of such quantum batteries remains an open question.
“Many future quantum technologies will need their own versions of batteries,” says Dian Tan, a researcher in Hefei, China. “While we have made great progress in building quantum computers, the way these systems store energy has not been fully explored.”
Tan and his team built a prototype using 12 superconducting qubits arranged in a network, where energy was stored in the collective quantum state of the system. The researchers tested two different charging methods. One worked like a conventional battery, while the second one took advantage of the interactions between qubits. The team found that the second method allowed the battery to charge more efficiently, gaining more power in less time. This suggests that these unique interactions could be the key to better battery performance in the quantum world.
Despite these promising lab results, translating them into practical advantages is challenging. “Comparing conventional batteries with quantum ones is difficult,” says Dominik Safranek at Charles University in the Czech Republic. In his view, the path from laboratory breakthroughs to everyday consumer products remains unclear.
Tan sees his battery as a perfect match for future quantum computers. Now, the researchers want to combine their battery with a quantum heat engine. This device would produce energy to be stored in the battery, creating a self-sustaining system within a quantum computer.
46. How do quantum batteries store energy differently from conventional ones?
A. By using different particle states. B. By improving chemical reactions.
C. By adding more storage units. D. By reducing the battery size.
47. Why did Tan’s team test two different charging methods?
A. To make the conventional battery system efficient.
B. To find the best state for the quantum batteries.
C. To simplify the conventional charging process.
D. To explore the advantage of quantum interactions.
48. What is Dominik Safranek’s view on quantum batteries?
A. Their value remains to be proven. B. Their performance is difficult to judge.
C. Their practical application is challenging. D. Their lab result seems unsuccessful.
49. What will Tan’s team probably do next?
A. Put the battery into a quantum computer. B. Build a new classical heat engine.
C. Make their charging methods better. D. Link the battery to a heat engine.
50. What is the main idea of the text?
A. The status and future of conventional batteries.
B. The potential and challenges of quantum batteries.
C. The chemical principles behind conventional storage.
D. The guaranteed success of fast quantum charging.

In an increasingly individualistic world, the act of giving — whether time, resources, or skills — serves as a powerful antidote to societal isolation. Engaging in charity activities fosters deeper human connections, enhances interpersonal relationships, and profoundly influences individuals’ mental and emotional well-being. This essay explores the multifaceted benefits of altruism (利他主义), emphasizing its role in nurturing community bonds and promoting individual fulfillment.
At the core of voluntary engagement lies the natural human desire for connection. Participating in community service or charitable initiatives cultivates a sense of belonging, linking individuals with like-minded peers who share similar values and commitments. These shared experiences often lead to the formation of lasting friendships and networks, as individuals unite under a common purpose. For instance, volunteering at a local shelter not only addresses immediate community needs but also offers participants an opportunity to connect on a personal level, thus reinforcing social ties that might otherwise remain superficial.
Moreover, altruism has been shown to contribute significantly to an individual’s mental health. Engaging in acts of kindness triggers the release of endorphins (内啡肽), the so-called “helper’s high,” which can enhance mood and promote feelings of happiness. Research by the Journal of Happiness Studies indicates that individuals who engage in regular volunteer work experience lower rates of depression and anxiety, leading to an overall improvement in life satisfaction. This psychological uplift extends beyond the individual, as happy people are more likely to engage positively in their communities, creating a positive cycle of altruism and well-being.
Furthermore, acts of kindness cultivate empathy and inner strength, attributes essential for enduring human relationships. By actively engaging with diverse communities and understanding the struggles faced by others, individuals reinforce their capacity for compassion. This deepened empathy not only enhances interpersonal dynamics but also fosters a more inclusive and understanding society. Additionally, the experiences drawn from voluntary activity often encourage reflection and personal growth, helping individuals develop coping mechanisms and emotional perseverance.
In conclusion, the benefits of goodwill extend far beyond the immediate impact of charitable acts. By fostering interpersonal connections and enhancing emotional well-being, acts of giving play a crucial role in building stronger, more resilient communities. In a world increasingly characterized by isolation and detachment, the embrace of altruism presents a powerful solution to reinvigorate (使…焕新) human connections and improve individual mental health. The cultivation of a giving spirit enriches not only the lives of those we help but also our own, creating a more compassionate and harmonious society. By choosing to engage in giving, we can transform not only our lives but also the fabric of our communities.
51. What does the word “antidote” most probably mean in Paragraph 1?
A. An effective solution. B. A harmful result. C. A social trend. D. A mental disease.
52. According to the passage, which is an immediate and direct result of engaging in acts of kindness?
A. The release of endorphins that improve mood.
B. The significant improvement of social fairness.
C. The building of lasting friendships and social networks.
D. The cultivation of empathy and emotional resilience.
53. What is the main idea of the essay?
A. Individualism is the root cause of societal problems.
B. Altruism is the only solution to mental health issues.
C. Giving behavior benefit individuals and communities in many ways.
D. Modern society is becoming more and more individualistic and isolated.
54. How is the passage mainly organized?
A. By presenting a problem and then offering several solutions.
B. By stating a claim and supporting it with three arguments.
C. By comparing different views on the value of acts of kindness.
D. By listing historical examples to explain altruistic behavior.
55. Based on the essay, what can be inferred from the passage?
A. People without extra money are not able to participate in charity effectively.
B. Social isolation in modern society is mainly caused by lack of charity.
C. Being kind would have significant impact on health.
D. Being kind can remove depression and anxiety.
第四部分 写作(共两节,满分25分)
第一节:阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
From Jan 16 to 23, a group of high school students worked with a youth media platform to create a short English play called The Taste of Tariffs (关税). Through the project, they not only explored a global issue, but also learned an important lesson about teamwork.
The idea came from a newspaper article about tariffs. The students found the topic fresh and meaningful, and during a study trip they continued discussing it on a high-speed train. Their excitement was so great that they even held auditions in the aisle. By the time they arrived, the team had already been formed.
However, as rehearsals began, conflict soon arose (发生). Two students, who were responsible for writing the script (剧本), disagreed strongly about how the story should be told. One wanted the play to focus on facts and logic so that it would sound serious and convincing. The other believed that it should include more emotion and dramatic scenes to attract the audience. Neither would give in. Their argument became so heated that rehearsal had to stop, and the rest of the team sat in silence.
The disagreement affected everyone. Some students began to worry that the play would fail. Others grew impatient because time was tight. Seeing the tension, the team leader suggested that they stop arguing and listen to each other’s ideas one by one. After a long discussion, they finally realised that a good play needed both clear ideas and strong storytelling. So they rewrote part of the script together, keeping the important facts while adding more vivid dialogue and action.
Another problem arose on the filming day. Two actors were found unsuitable for their original roles. One of them felt unhappy when asked to change parts because he had practised for days. But after the others explained the situation, he accepted the decision for the good of the team. Everyone then worked quickly to adjust the lines and filming plan.
In the end, the play was completed successfully. A teacher who watched the process said she was most impressed not by the final performance, but by the way the students dealt with conflict. For them, the project proved that teamwork does not mean avoiding disagreement. It means staying calm, listening carefully, and moving forward together.
56. What inspired the students to create the play? (no more than 5 words)
________________________________________________________________
57. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 mean? (1 word)

SickKids High School Volunteer Programs
SickKids offers dynamic programs tailored for high school students eager to make a difference. Whether during the summer break or the academic year, the two initiatives provide a unique opportunity for students to gain hands-on experience and contribute to our community in meaningful ways.
The Summer Volunteer Program
This program offers two main types of roles to suit different interests. First, in Hospital Support roles, students help in places like the Family Centre or Gift Shop to help create a friendly environment. Alternatively, those in Child Life roles join in play activities and help keep a playroom safe. Please note that volunteers in Child Life roles must be willing to put on necessary protective equipment, such as masks and protective clothing, as many positions require entering rooms where patients are kept separated.
The Co-op Program
Unlike the summer option, this program gives students in Grades 11 and 12 the chance to explore healthcare or research careers during their regular school terms. Students can earn school credit while taking part in hands-on positions. These roles can include office work, interacting with patients, or doing research in the Hospital and Research Institute.
Eligibility (资格) Requirements
To be considered for either program, applicants must meet specific criteria. You must be currently a high school student and be at least 16 years of age by the program’s start date. For the Summer Program, volunteers must commit to working three hours every weekday (Monday to Friday) throughout July or August. Due to the program’s intensive nature, we are strictly unable to accommodate absences. Therefore, please consider any personal conflicts, such as summer courses or family vacations, before applying.

B
In 2004, when my daughter Becky was ten, she and my husband, Joe, were united in their desire for a dog. As for me, I shared none of their wish.
But why, they pleaded. “Because I don’t have time to take care of a dog.” But we’ll do it. “Really? You’re going to walk the dog? Feed the dog? Bathe the dog?” Yes, yes and yes. “I don’t believe you.” We will. We promise.
They didn’t. From day two (everyone wanted to walk the cute puppy that first day), neither thought to walk the dog. While I was slow to accept that I would be the one to keep track of her shots, to schedule her vet appointments, to feed and clean her, Misty knew this on day one. As she looked up at the three new humans in her life (small, medium, and large), she calculated, “The medium one is the sucker in the pack.”
Quickly, she and I developed something very similar to a Vulcan mind meld (心灵融合). She’d look at me with those sad brown eyes of hers, beam her need, and then wait, trusting I would understand, which, strangely, I almost always did. In no time, she became my fifth appendage (附肢), snoring on my home-office couch as I worked, cradling against my feet as I read, and splaying across my stomach as I watched television.
Even so, part of me continued to resent walking duty. Joe and Becky had promised. Not fair, I’d balk (不心甘情愿地做) silently as she and I walked. “Not fair.” I’d loudly remind anyone within earshot upon our return home.
Then one day — January 1, 2007, to be exact — my husband’s doctor uttered an unthinkable word: leukemia (白血病). With that, I spent eight to ten hours a day with Joe in the hospital, doing anything and everything I could to ease his discomfort. During those six months of hospitalizations, Becky,12 at that time, adjusted to other adults being in the house when she returned from school. My work colleagues adjusted to my taking off at a moment’s notice for medical emergencies. Every part of my life changed; no part of my old routine remained.
Save one: Misty still needed walking. At the beginning, when friends offered to take her through her paces, I declined because I knew they had their own households to deal with.
As the months went by, I began to realize that I actually wanted to walk Misty. The walk in the morning before I headed to the hospital was a quiet, peaceful time to gather my thoughts or to just be before the day’s medical drama unfolded. The evening walk was a time to shake off the day’s upsets and let the worry tracks in my head go to white noise.
When serious illness visits your household, it’s not just your daily routine and your assumptions about the future that are no longer familiar. Pretty much everyone you know acts differently.
After Joe died in 2009, Misty slept on his pillow.
I’m grateful — to a point. The truth is, after years of balking, I’ve come to enjoy my walks with Misty. As I watch her chase a squirrel, throwing her whole being into the here-and-now of an exercise that has never once ended in victory, she reminded me, too, that no matter how harsh the present or unpredictable the future, there’s almost always some measure of joy to be extracted from the moment.
41. It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that ______.
A. Misty was quite smart
B. Misty could solve math problems
C. The writer was a slow learner
D. No one walked Misty the first day
42. What can we learn from Paragraphs 4 and 5?
A. The author didn’t want to walk the dog because she didn’t like her.
B. The dog was naughty and annoying.
C. Although loving the dog, she was reluctant to walk her.
D. She always shouted at the dog while walking.
43. The story came to its turning point when ______.
A. Joe died in 2009 B. the writer began to walk the dog
C. Joe fell ill in 2007 D. the dog tried to please the writer
44. Why did the writer continue to walk Misty while Joe was in hospital?
A. The walk provided her with spiritual comfort.
B. Her friends didn’t offer any help.
C. She could unfold the day’s medical drama.
D. She didn’t want Misty to be others’ companion.
45. What message does the author want to convey in the passage?
A. One should learn to enjoy hard times.
B. A disaster can change everything in life.
C. Moments of joy suggest that there is still hope ahead.
D. People will change their attitude toward you when you are in difficulty.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者原本不愿养狗,但在丈夫生病后,开始享受与狗散步的时光,并从狗身上领悟到无论当下多艰难,未来多不可预测,都应珍惜当下的快乐。
【41题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“As she looked up at the three new humans in her life (small, medium, and large), she calculated, “The medium one is the sucker in the pack.” (当她抬头看着她生命中的三个新人类(小、中、大)时,她盘算着:“中等身材的那个是这群人中的傻瓜。”) ”可知,Misty能根据人的体型判断出谁好欺负,这表明Misty非常聪明。故选A项。
【42题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段中“Even so, part of me continued to resent walking duty. Joe and Becky had promised. Not fair, I’d balk (不心甘情愿地做) silently as she and I walked. “Not fair.” I’d loudly remind anyone within earshot upon our return home. (即便如此,我内心的一部分仍然对遛狗的任务感到不满。乔和贝基承诺过的。这不公平,当我和她一起走的时候,我会默默地抗议。“这不公平。”我们一回到家,我就会大声提醒任何能听到的人。)”可知,作者虽然爱这只狗,但并不愿意遛狗。因此,选项C“Although loving the dog, she was reluctant to walk her. (虽然爱这只狗,但她不愿意遛它)”是正确表述。故选C项。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第六段“Then one day — January 1, 2007, to be exact — my husband’s doctor uttered an unthinkable word: leukemia (白血病). With that, I spent eight to ten hours a day with Joe in the hospital, doing anything and everything I could to ease his discomfort. During those six months of hospitalizations, Becky,12 at that time, adjusted to other adults being in the house when she returned from school. My work colleagues adjusted to my taking off at a moment’s notice for medical emergencies. Every part of my life changed; no part of my old routine remained. (然后有一天——确切地说是2007年1月1日——我丈夫的医生说出了一个难以想象的词:白血病。从那以后,我每天花8到10个小时在医院陪Joe,尽我所能减轻他的不适。在那六个月的住院期间,当时12岁的Becky适应了放学回家时家里有其他大人的情况。我的同事们也适应了我因为医疗紧急情况而随时离开的情况。我生活的每一部分都发生了变化;旧的生活习惯没有一部分保留下来。)”可知,故事在2007年Joe生病时发生了转折。故选C项。
【44题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第八段“As the months went by, I began to realize that I actually wanted to walk Misty. The walk in the morning before I headed to the hospital was a quiet, peaceful time to gather my thoughts or to just be before the day’s medical drama unfolded. The evening walk was a time to shake off the day’s upsets and let the worry tracks in my head go to white noise. (随着几个月的过去,我开始意识到我实际上想遛Misty。早上去医院前的散步是一个安静、平和的时间,可以整理我的思绪,或者在一天的医疗剧上演之前只是简单地存在。晚上的散步是摆脱一天烦恼的时刻,让我脑海中的忧虑变成白噪音。)”可知,作者在Joe住院期间继续遛Misty是因为散步给她提供了精神上的安慰。故选A项。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,结合文章最后一段中“As I watch her chase a squirrel, throwing her whole being into the here-and-now of an exercise that has never once ended in victory, she reminded me, too, that no matter how harsh the present or unpredictable the future, there’s almost always some measure of joy to be extracted from the moment. (当我看着她追逐一只松鼠,全身心地投入到这个从未以胜利告终的锻炼中时,她也提醒我,无论现在多么艰难或未来多么不可预测,几乎总能从这一刻中找到一些快乐。)”可知,作者原本不愿养狗,但在丈夫生病后,开始享受与狗散步的时光,并从狗身上领悟到无论当下多艰难,未来多不可预测,都应珍惜当下的快乐。由此推知,作者想传达的信息是,快乐的瞬间暗示着前方仍有希望。故选C项。
C
A quantum battery (量子电池) has been built within a quantum computer, marking a significant step toward determining if it could one day power future quantum technologies.
Conventional batteries store energy through chemical reactions. Quantum batteries, however, rely on tiny particles called quantum bits (qubits, 量子比特). Instead of chemicals, these batteries store energy by focusing on the various ways these particles can stay in at the same time — a phenomenon called superposition (叠加). This unique process may lead to better battery performance.
Some studies have shown that using these special features can result in faster charging, but the practicality of such quantum batteries remains an open question.
“Many future quantum technologies will need their own versions of batteries,” says Dian Tan, a researcher in Hefei, China. “While we have made great progress in building quantum computers, the way these systems store energy has not been fully explored.”
Tan and his team built a prototype using 12 superconducting qubits arranged in a network, where energy was stored in the collective quantum state of the system. The researchers tested two different charging methods. One worked like a conventional battery, while the second one took advantage of the interactions between qubits. The team found that the second method allowed the battery to charge more efficiently, gaining more power in less time. This suggests that these unique interactions could be the key to better battery performance in the quantum world.
Despite these promising lab results, translating them into practical advantages is challenging. “Comparing conventional batteries with quantum ones is difficult,” says Dominik Safranek at Charles University in the Czech Republic. In his view, the path from laboratory breakthroughs to everyday consumer products remains unclear.
Tan sees his battery as a perfect match for future quantum computers. Now, the researchers want to combine their battery with a quantum heat engine. This device would produce energy to be stored in the battery, creating a self-sustaining system within a quantum computer.
46. How do quantum batteries store energy differently from conventional ones?
A. By using different particle states. B. By improving chemical reactions.
C. By adding more storage units. D. By reducing the battery size.
47. Why did Tan’s team test two different charging methods?
A. To make the conventional battery system efficient.
B. To find the best state for the quantum batteries.
C. To simplify the conventional charging process.
D. To explore the advantage of quantum interactions.
48. What is Dominik Safranek’s view on quantum batteries?
A. Their value remains to be proven. B. Their performance is difficult to judge.
C. Their practical application is challenging. D. Their lab result seems unsuccessful.
49. What will Tan’s team probably do next?
A. Put the battery into a quantum computer. B. Build a new classical heat engine.
C. Make their charging methods better. D. Link the battery to a heat engine.
50. What is the main idea of the text?
A. The status and future of conventional batteries.
B. The potential and challenges of quantum batteries.
C. The chemical principles behind conventional storage.
D. The guaranteed success of fast quantum charging.
【答案】46. A 47. D 48. C 49. D 50. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了量子电池的储能原理、研究进展、潜在优势以及实际应用面临的挑战。

In an increasingly individualistic world, the act of giving — whether time, resources, or skills — serves as a powerful antidote to societal isolation. Engaging in charity activities fosters deeper human connections, enhances interpersonal relationships, and profoundly influences individuals’ mental and emotional well-being. This essay explores the multifaceted benefits of altruism (利他主义), emphasizing its role in nurturing community bonds and promoting individual fulfillment.
At the core of voluntary engagement lies the natural human desire for connection. Participating in community service or charitable initiatives cultivates a sense of belonging, linking individuals with like-minded peers who share similar values and commitments. These shared experiences often lead to the formation of lasting friendships and networks, as individuals unite under a common purpose. For instance, volunteering at a local shelter not only addresses immediate community needs but also offers participants an opportunity to connect on a personal level, thus reinforcing social ties that might otherwise remain superficial.
Moreover, altruism has been shown to contribute significantly to an individual’s mental health. Engaging in acts of kindness triggers the release of endorphins (内啡肽), the so-called “helper’s high,” which can enhance mood and promote feelings of happiness. Research by the Journal of Happiness Studies indicates that individuals who engage in regular volunteer work experience lower rates of depression and anxiety, leading to an overall improvement in life satisfaction. This psychological uplift extends beyond the individual, as happy people are more likely to engage positively in their communities, creating a positive cycle of altruism and well-being.
Furthermore, acts of kindness cultivate empathy and inner strength, attributes essential for enduring human relationships. By actively engaging with diverse communities and understanding the struggles faced by others, individuals reinforce their capacity for compassion. This deepened empathy not only enhances interpersonal dynamics but also fosters a more inclusive and understanding society. Additionally, the experiences drawn from voluntary activity often encourage reflection and personal growth, helping individuals develop coping mechanisms and emotional perseverance.
In conclusion, the benefits of goodwill extend far beyond the immediate impact of charitable acts. By fostering interpersonal connections and enhancing emotional well-being, acts of giving play a crucial role in building stronger, more resilient communities. In a world increasingly characterized by isolation and detachment, the embrace of altruism presents a powerful solution to reinvigorate (使…焕新) human connections and improve individual mental health. The cultivation of a giving spirit enriches not only the lives of those we help but also our own, creating a more compassionate and harmonious society. By choosing to engage in giving, we can transform not only our lives but also the fabric of our communities.

From Jan 16 to 23, a group of high school students worked with a youth media platform to create a short English play called The Taste of Tariffs (关税). Through the project, they not only explored a global issue, but also learned an important lesson about teamwork.
The idea came from a newspaper article about tariffs. The students found the topic fresh and meaningful, and during a study trip they continued discussing it on a high-speed train. Their excitement was so great that they even held auditions in the aisle. By the time they arrived, the team had already been formed.
However, as rehearsals began, conflict soon arose (发生). Two students, who were responsible for writing the script (剧本), disagreed strongly about how the story should be told. One wanted the play to focus on facts and logic so that it would sound serious and convincing. The other believed that it should include more emotion and dramatic scenes to attract the audience. Neither would give in. Their argument became so heated that rehearsal had to stop, and the rest of the team sat in silence.
The disagreement affected everyone. Some students began to worry that the play would fail. Others grew impatient because time was tight. Seeing the tension, the team leader suggested that they stop arguing and listen to each other’s ideas one by one. After a long discussion, they finally realised that a good play needed both clear ideas and strong storytelling. So they rewrote part of the script together, keeping the important facts while adding more vivid dialogue and action.
Another problem arose on the filming day. Two actors were found unsuitable for their original roles. One of them felt unhappy when asked to change parts because he had practised for days. But after the others explained the situation, he accepted the decision for the good of the team. Everyone then worked quickly to adjust the lines and filming plan.
In the end, the play was completed successfully. A teacher who watched the process said she was most impressed not by the final performance, but by the way the students dealt with conflict. For them, the project proved that teamwork does not mean avoiding disagreement. It means staying calm, listening carefully, and moving forward together.
56. What inspired the students to create the play? (no more than 5 words)
________________________________________________________________
57. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 mean? (1 word)

考查词义猜测。根据第三段“One wanted the play to focus on facts and logic so that it would sound serious and convincing.(一个人希望这部剧专注于事实和逻辑,这样它听起来会严肃且convincing )”可知,and连接两个并列的描述性词汇,由“focus on facts and logic(专注于事实和逻辑)”可推知,convincing应表示能让人信服的意思,即“可信的;有说服力的;合理的”。
【58题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段“Their argument became so heated that rehearsal had to stop, and the rest of the team sat in silence.(他们的争论变得如此激烈,以至于排练不得不停止,团队的其他人都静静地坐着)”以及第四段“Some students began to worry that the play would fail. Others grew impatient because time was tight.(一些学生开始担心这部剧会失败。另一些学生因为时间紧迫而变得不耐烦)”可知,分歧导致排练停止,还让团队成员产生担忧和不耐烦的情绪,给团队工作带来压力。

Smart Creations from China, All Around Me
Dear teachers and classmates,
It’s my great honor to share a “China Smart Creation” that has impressed me deeply — the intelligent delivery robot.
Last winter, my grandma fell ill and couldn’t go out to buy medicine. The pharmacy was far away, and my parents were at work. I was worried until I remembered the intelligent delivery robot service in our community. I placed an order through the app, and in just 20 minutes, the robot arrived at our door. It navigated smoothly through the neighborhood, avoided obstacles skillfully, and sent a notification to my phone. When I opened the robot’s compartment with a code, the medicine was still warm. That moment, I felt how technology brings convenience to life.
It tells me that “China Smart Creation” is not just about advanced technology, but about solving real-life problems with warmth.
Thank you!
