When I was 18, I worked in a fast-food restaurant. I enjoyed it and learned a lot at first, but later the drive-through service started to tire me out. Loud cars hurt my ears. People often shouted at me when I asked them to repeat their orders. Their ____13____ made me angry every time I was at work.
I knew I had only two choices: stay angry or try to feel different. I made a decision. For one whole day, I would ____14____ every person who came to my window.
The first customer was a woman with tired eyes. I noticed her blue earrings and said, “I like your earrings.” A little surprised, she stopped. Her face softened, and at that moment the tiredness in her eyes ____15____. Then she smiled. “Thank you. I made them myself.” She drove away slowly, still smiling.
The next customer was a man with a loud radio. I almost gave up. But I saw his hat — it had a fishing boat on it. “Nice hat!” I said. He laughed, “My wife gave it to me twenty years ago.” He was still laughing as he left.
Then something small began to change. I started to look at people in a ____16____ way. I searched for one good thing — a bright shirt, a colorful bottle, a dog in the back seat. It was not easy, but I always found it. The most amazing thing of all, though, was their ____17____. “No one ever says that to me,” A young man said excitedly before leaving.
At the end of the day, I went home happy for the first time in weeks. I knew I had discovered a ____18____, with which I could avoid becoming the kind of person I dislike. I used to keep my bad feelings inside, and in the end, they would be taken out on the people I cared about. Simple kindness changes both others’ day and my own.

B
In my community, there is a special shop called the “Library of Things”. It does not give books. Instead, you can borrow the tools you need. A broken pipe (水管) in my kitchen led me to the shop for the first time. I walked there feeling shy, as I had lived in the area for five years without knowing my neighbors well. In my mind, being a successful adult meant being independent. Needing help felt like a big weakness.
Inside the shop, I met Sarah, a worker with a kind smile. She noticed my nervous look while she handed me the tool. Then, she said softly, “Most people come for tools, but they often leave with something more — a feeling of being with others.” I didn’t quite understand her, but she didn’t explain. She just told me she would call for someone to help me.
After a while, Mr. Thompson, an elderly neighbor, appeared at my door. He got the call from Sarah and just returned a tall chair to the “Library of Things”. “A broken pipe? That’s a hard one,” he said with a smile. “Can I help you?”
In those thirty minutes, Mr. Thompson didn’t just fix my water pipe; he told me about the history of our street. I knew that by trying to do things alone, I had built a wall around myself, which kept me from experiencing the joy of being a neighbor.
A few days later, when I returned the tool, Sarah asked if I could help a student with a bookshelf. This time, I said yes at once. Soon after I started helping, the student and I talked and shared stories. That’s when I realized it wasn’t about saving money — it was about the friendship.
Now, my way of thinking has changed. Needing help is not a failure; it is a good chance to express true feelings about being with others. The tools went back to the shelves, but these very important feelings of being with others stayed strong in my heart.
24. What does the shop lend to people?
A. Tools. B. Books. C. Clothes. D. Money.
25. What is Mr. Thompson like?
A. Honest and shy. B. Calm and serious.
C. Helpful and sociable. D. Humorous and creative.
26. What does the shop truly offer?
A. A way to value personal independence. B. A place to encourage people to share skills.
C. A practice to reduce waste by reusing tools. D. A chance to build connections among people.
C
About 50 years ago, recordings of whale songs touched people’s hearts. These beautiful sounds helped change public opinion and call for an end to whaling (捕鲸业). Today, scientists use microphones to record and study sounds in nature. This important science is called “soundscape ecology (声景生态学)”. By listening carefully, scientists can learn about the ecosystem, and also find out how human activities influence the lives of whales and other sea animals.
Whales are like musicians in the sea. Their songs can last for up to 30 minutes and may be repeated for hours. Scientists have found that some changes happen as they grow older. For North Atlantic right whales, calls become clearer and longer with age, just like human musicians improving with practice.
Whales have smart ways to protect themselves from natural enemies. Mia Nielsen’s research group studied right whale mothers and their babies, finding that they chose to live in shallow (浅的) waters. The noisy waves there can hide their sounds, so these whales make very soft and few calls to avoid being heard.
Beyond these natural habits, the environment also plays a key role in changes in whale sounds. Take blue whales as an example: their calls are about 0.2 to 0.3 Hz higher during the Southern summer. Scientists believe this happens because there is more background noise at that time of year, mainly caused by the breaking of ice near Antarctica. Dr. Chou explains, “These records of whale sounds allow us to see how less sea ice and more ships may influence animals.”
Scientists have also found that changes in whale sounds are related to the whaling ban (禁令). Researcher Leroy and his team suggested that, thanks to the whaling ban, blue whale populations have grown over recent years. With more whales living in the same areas, they can now easily hear one another without calling across long distances.
Soundscape ecology is becoming increasingly important. Other than whales, it helps study many other animals. Rosenbaum’s team studied the Bering Sea for four years, recording over 33,000 sounds from different sea animals. This data helps scientists understand these animals and how climate and human activities influence them. This is the power of soundscape ecology: it turns the simple noise of the sea into a message that helps us understand animals and realize the serious effects of human activities on them. In this way, we can learn to live in peace with ocean life.
27. What method do scientists use to study nature in Paragraph 1?
A. Searching for certain sea animals. B. Recording various natural sounds.
C. Checking the level of ocean noise. D. Watching sea animals’ daily activities.
28. How do human activities influence whales according to the passage?
A. Human hunting causes right whales to make very soft calls.
B. The whaling ban has led blue whales to produce louder calls.
C. Human ships force whales to move into deeper and quieter waters.
D. Human activities increase ocean noise which influences whale calls.
29. Which of the following would summarize the value of soundscape ecology?
A. It connects animal sounds with ecosystem changes.
B. It presents the yearly changes in the ocean environment.
C. It offers solutions to reduce human influence on the ecosystem.
D. It provides ways to increase the population of animals in danger.
D
In a factory in Germany, something unusual is happening. Every machine on the production line is under the watch of intelligent sensors (智能传感器). If a robot uses too much electricity, the intelligent program will slow it down to reduce energy waste. If an important part begins to wear out, workers will get a warning before it breaks down. With these digital tools, the factory has not only cut its electricity use by 20% but also increased its production to a record high, showing the great power of joining technology and sustainability (可持续性).
This is more than just a factory story. Experts name it the “twin transition (转型)”. It connects digital transition and sustainability in a way that not only focuses on using digital tools or saving energy. Instead, it aims to use digital technologies to help protect our planet. What makes this transition special is that it turns the once-separate goals of technological progress and environmental protection into a united task that benefits both businesses and the earth.
The idea is already being used in the “digital twin”, a virtual replica (虚拟副本) of a real machine in which robots can practice and repeat difficult tasks again and again without wasting any materials or risking harm to real parts. The technology records all effective actions and removes ineffective ones. After enough virtual tests, the robot can perform perfectly in the real world. It cuts down material waste and stops breakdowns, which would need expensive repairs under normal conditions.
However, the twin transition is not a perfect solution by itself. Although digital tools help people complete tasks with less effort and better results, people may end up using them more often, leading to increased energy use in the long run, a problem known as the “rebound effect.” Another challenge is the “digital divide.” Both developed and poorer areas have tried the twin transition, but poorer areas are short of high-speed Internet and practical digital skills. As a result, they cannot get the same benefits from the transition as developed areas do.
To solve these problems, experts suggest that good leadership and proper education are key. Companies need leaders with an understanding of both technology and the natural world. Schools should teach students how to use digital tools to solve environmental problems. In fact, there is no need for technological progress to clash with nature. With the right actions, the twin transition will guide us toward a more sustainable and intelligent future.
30. Why does the writer talk about the factory in Germany in Paragraph 1?
A. To introduce a new idea. B. To prove a common view.
C. To compare two situations. D. To advise on general matters.
31. According to the passage, what is a good example of the “twin transition”?
A. Providing high-speed Internet to poor areas to close the digital divide.
B. Training students to use digital tools to solve environmental problems.
C. Using green energy to produce more electricity for industrial machines.
D. Practicing tasks on a virtual copy of a machine to prevent material waste.
32. What does the underlined word “clash” in the last paragraph most probably mean?
A. Mix. B. Trade. C. Fight. D. Connect.
33. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
A. Joining Technology and Nature: A New Way
B. Going Green: A Smarter Way with Digital Tools
C. Transition and Sustainability: Goals of Companies
D. Digital Twin: A Virtual Replica for Robot Practice

本部分共5小题,共20分。根据题目要求,完成相应任务。
四、阅读表达(第34-36题每题2分,第37题4分,共10分)
阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。
Not long ago, thrifting (淘二手货) was seen as “shameful” by many. But now, second-hand clothes have become a “cool must-have”. In just ten years, thrifting has gone from a small hobby in local communities to a new style that can compete with fast fashion.
People’s ideas toward thrifting have changed. Eve Perez, a 21-year-old who once felt strange shopping at thrift stores, recalls that something began to change five years ago, when social media became popular. She noticed people’s views on buying and wearing used clothes were different. Now, young people feel that thrifting is a “treasure hunt” to find things that show their personality. Historians also point out that young people often want to be different from the older generation through fashion. Together with their friends, they’ve turned early 2000s clothing into cool looks from the past.
Social media is a big driving force in making thrifting popular. Apps like TikTok are flooded with ThriftHaul videos, where users show off their “finds” from thrift stores. Caring about the environment is another big reason. More and more people are realizing how fast fashion harms the environment. Thrifting helps cut down on waste.
The thrifting fever has opened up chances for people. Alex Chen, a college student, started selling old band T-shirts on an app. In six months, he got over 5,000 followers and made enough money to pay his tuition (学费). Many sellers also sell second-hand products in physical thrift stores. “People share their love for special things there,” says Sofia Martinez, who runs such a store.
Thrifting is no longer just about saving money. It’s a cultural movement. As young people continue to accept it, this industry is expected to keep growing, showing that what’s old can truly become new again.
34. How do young people feel about thrifting now?
________________________________________________________________________________________
35. What are the driving forces making thrifting popular?
________________________________________________________________________________________
36. Besides apps, where do people sell their second-hand products?

【导语】本文讲述了作者十八岁在快餐店工作时,因顾客的不耐烦而感到烦躁。为了改变情绪,作者决定赞美每一位顾客。这个小小的善意举动,不仅让顾客的反应变得温暖,也让作者自己的心态发生了转变。
【13题详解】
句意:他们的不耐烦让我每次上班都很生气。
前文提到“People often shouted at me when I asked them to repeat their orders”,这种行为体现了顾客的不耐烦。sadness(悲伤)、silence(沉默)、dishonesty(不诚实)均不符合语境。
【14题详解】
句意:一整天,我要赞美每一个来到我窗口的顾客。
下文作者对顾客说“I like your earrings.”、“Nice hat!”,可知是赞美每一位顾客。cheat(欺骗)、test(测试)、protect(保护)均不符合后文的行为。
【15题详解】
句意:那一刻,她眼中的疲惫感消失了。
顾客听到赞美后,表情柔和下来,疲惫感也随之消失。returned(返回)、increased(增加)、stayed(停留)均与语境矛盾。
【16题详解】
句意:我开始用一种不同的方式看待人们。
后文提到“I searched for one good thing”,可知作者开始用不同的方式看待顾客,主动寻找他们身上的闪光点。normal(正常的)、safe(安全的)、strange(奇怪的)均不符合语境。
【17题详解】
句意:最令人惊喜的是他们的反应。
后文年轻人激动地说“没人对我说过这样的话”。可知是他们的反应。invitations(邀请)、suggestions(建议)、decisions(决定)与上下文不符。
【18题详解】
句意:我知道自己发现了一个宝藏。
根据后文“with which I can avoid becoming the kind of person I dislike”,可知作者发现了一个宝藏,有了他作者就可以避免成为自己不喜欢的人。purpose(目的)、chance(机会)、sign(标志)均不符合语境。
【19题详解】
句意:三十年后,这个习惯从未离开我。
根据后文“Whenever stress hits, I turn on my ‘praise brain’.”可知,这个赞美他人的习惯三十年来从未离开作者。hurt(伤害)、rewarded(奖励)、changed(改变)均不符合语境。
【20题详解】
句意:正是因为我选择保持积极,我身边的人才会变得更快乐。
正是因为作者选择保持积极,周围的人才会变得更快乐。knowledgeable(博学的)、humorous(幽默的)、confident(自信的)均与“善意赞美”的核心主题无关。

In my community, there is a special shop called the “Library of Things”. It does not give books. Instead, you can borrow the tools you need. A broken pipe (水管) in my kitchen led me to the shop for the first time. I walked there feeling shy, as I had lived in the area for five years without knowing my neighbors well. In my mind, being a successful adult meant being independent. Needing help felt like a big weakness.
Inside the shop, I met Sarah, a worker with a kind smile. She noticed my nervous look while she handed me the tool. Then, she said softly, “Most people come for tools, but they often leave with something more — a feeling of being with others.” I didn’t quite understand her, but she didn’t explain. She just told me she would call for someone to help me.
After a while, Mr. Thompson, an elderly neighbor, appeared at my door. He got the call from Sarah and just returned a tall chair to the “Library of Things”. “A broken pipe? That’s a hard one,” he said with a smile. “Can I help you?”
In those thirty minutes, Mr. Thompson didn’t just fix my water pipe; he told me about the history of our street. I knew that by trying to do things alone, I had built a wall around myself, which kept me from experiencing the joy of being a neighbor.
A few days later, when I returned the tool, Sarah asked if I could help a student with a bookshelf. This time, I said yes at once. Soon after I started helping, the student and I talked and shared stories. That’s when I realized it wasn’t about saving money — it was about the friendship.
Now, my way of thinking has changed. Needing help is not a failure; it is a good chance to express true feelings about being with others. The tools went back to the shelves, but these very important feelings of being with others stayed strong in my heart.
24. What does the shop lend to people?
A. Tools. B. Books. C. Clothes. D. Money.
25. What is Mr. Thompson like?
A. Honest and shy. B. Calm and serious.
C. Helpful and sociable. D. Humorous and creative.
26. What does the shop truly offer?
A. A way to value personal independence. B. A place to encourage people to share skills.
C. A practice to reduce waste by reusing tools. D. A chance to build connections among people.
【答案】24. A 25. C 26. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了作者通过社区里的“物品图书馆”借工具、接受邻居帮助、再帮助他人的经历,逐渐从追求独立、不愿求助,转变为理解求助与互助是建立人际联结的契机。

C
About 50 years ago, recordings of whale songs touched people’s hearts. These beautiful sounds helped change public opinion and call for an end to whaling (捕鲸业). Today, scientists use microphones to record and study sounds in nature. This important science is called “soundscape ecology (声景生态学)”. By listening carefully, scientists can learn about the ecosystem, and also find out how human activities influence the lives of whales and other sea animals.
Whales are like musicians in the sea. Their songs can last for up to 30 minutes and may be repeated for hours. Scientists have found that some changes happen as they grow older. For North Atlantic right whales, calls become clearer and longer with age, just like human musicians improving with practice.
Whales have smart ways to protect themselves from natural enemies. Mia Nielsen’s research group studied right whale mothers and their babies, finding that they chose to live in shallow (浅的) waters. The noisy waves there can hide their sounds, so these whales make very soft and few calls to avoid being heard.
Beyond these natural habits, the environment also plays a key role in changes in whale sounds. Take blue whales as an example: their calls are about 0.2 to 0.3 Hz higher during the Southern summer. Scientists believe this happens because there is more background noise at that time of year, mainly caused by the breaking of ice near Antarctica. Dr. Chou explains, “These records of whale sounds allow us to see how less sea ice and more ships may influence animals.”
Scientists have also found that changes in whale sounds are related to the whaling ban (禁令). Researcher Leroy and his team suggested that, thanks to the whaling ban, blue whale populations have grown over recent years. With more whales living in the same areas, they can now easily hear one another without calling across long distances.
Soundscape ecology is becoming increasingly important. Other than whales, it helps study many other animals. Rosenbaum’s team studied the Bering Sea for four years, recording over 33,000 sounds from different sea animals. This data helps scientists understand these animals and how climate and human activities influence them. This is the power of soundscape ecology: it turns the simple noise of the sea into a message that helps us understand animals and realize the serious effects of human activities on them. In this way, we can learn to live in peace with ocean life.
27. What method do scientists use to study nature in Paragraph 1?
A. Searching for certain sea animals. B. Recording various natural sounds.
C. Checking the level of ocean noise. D. Watching sea animals’ daily activities.
28. How do human activities influence whales according to the passage?
A. Human hunting causes right whales to make very soft calls.
B. The whaling ban has led blue whales to produce louder calls.
C. Human ships force whales to move into deeper and quieter waters.
D. Human activities increase ocean noise which influences whale calls.
29. Which of the following would summarize the value of soundscape ecology?
A. It connects animal sounds with ecosystem changes.
B. It presents the yearly changes in the ocean environment.
C. It offers solutions to reduce human influence on the ecosystem.
D. It provides ways to increase the population of animals in danger.
【答案】27. B 28. D 29. A

In a factory in Germany, something unusual is happening. Every machine on the production line is under the watch of intelligent sensors (智能传感器). If a robot uses too much electricity, the intelligent program will slow it down to reduce energy waste. If an important part begins to wear out, workers will get a warning before it breaks down. With these digital tools, the factory has not only cut its electricity use by 20% but also increased its production to a record high, showing the great power of joining technology and sustainability (可持续性).
This is more than just a factory story. Experts name it the “twin transition (转型)”. It connects digital transition and sustainability in a way that not only focuses on using digital tools or saving energy. Instead, it aims to use digital technologies to help protect our planet. What makes this transition special is that it turns the once-separate goals of technological progress and environmental protection into a united task that benefits both businesses and the earth.
The idea is already being used in the “digital twin”, a virtual replica (虚拟副本) of a real machine in which robots can practice and repeat difficult tasks again and again without wasting any materials or risking harm to real parts. The technology records all effective actions and removes ineffective ones. After enough virtual tests, the robot can perform perfectly in the real world. It cuts down material waste and stops breakdowns, which would need expensive repairs under normal conditions.
However, the twin transition is not a perfect solution by itself. Although digital tools help people complete tasks with less effort and better results, people may end up using them more often, leading to increased energy use in the long run, a problem known as the “rebound effect.” Another challenge is the “digital divide.” Both developed and poorer areas have tried the twin transition, but poorer areas are short of high-speed Internet and practical digital skills. As a result, they cannot get the same benefits from the transition as developed areas do.
To solve these problems, experts suggest that good leadership and proper education are key. Companies need leaders with an understanding of both technology and the natural world. Schools should teach students how to use digital tools to solve environmental problems. In fact, there is no need for technological progress to clash with nature. With the right actions, the twin transition will guide us toward a more sustainable and intelligent future.
30. Why does the writer talk about the factory in Germany in Paragraph 1?
A. To introduce a new idea. B. To prove a common view.
C. To compare two situations. D. To advise on general matters.
31. According to the passage, what is a good example of the “twin transition”?
A. Providing high-speed Internet to poor areas to close the digital divide.
B. Training students to use digital tools to solve environmental problems.
C. Using green energy to produce more electricity for industrial machines.
D. Practicing tasks on a virtual copy of a machine to prevent material waste.
32. What does the underlined word “clash” in the last paragraph most probably mean?
A. Mix. B. Trade. C. Fight. D. Connect.
33. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
A. Joining Technology and Nature: A New Way
B. Going Green: A Smarter Way with Digital Tools
C. Transition and Sustainability: Goals of Companies
D. Digital Twin: A Virtual Replica for Robot Practice
【答案】30. A 31. D 32. C 33. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了“双重转型”这一将数字技术与可持续发展相结合的新理念,通过实例说明了其应用、优势与面临的挑战。

Not long ago, thrifting (淘二手货) was seen as “shameful” by many. But now, second-hand clothes have become a “cool must-have”. In just ten years, thrifting has gone from a small hobby in local communities to a new style that can compete with fast fashion.
People’s ideas toward thrifting have changed. Eve Perez, a 21-year-old who once felt strange shopping at thrift stores, recalls that something began to change five years ago, when social media became popular. She noticed people’s views on buying and wearing used clothes were different. Now, young people feel that thrifting is a “treasure hunt” to find things that show their personality. Historians also point out that young people often want to be different from the older generation through fashion. Together with their friends, they’ve turned early 2000s clothing into cool looks from the past.
Social media is a big driving force in making thrifting popular. Apps like TikTok are flooded with ThriftHaul videos, where users show off their “finds” from thrift stores. Caring about the environment is another big reason. More and more people are realizing how fast fashion harms the environment. Thrifting helps cut down on waste.
The thrifting fever has opened up chances for people. Alex Chen, a college student, started selling old band T-shirts on an app. In six months, he got over 5,000 followers and made enough money to pay his tuition (学费). Many sellers also sell second-hand products in physical thrift stores. “People share their love for special things there,” says Sofia Martinez, who runs such a store.
Thrifting is no longer just about saving money. It’s a cultural movement. As young people continue to accept it, this industry is expected to keep growing, showing that what’s old can truly become new again.
34. How do young people feel about thrifting now?
________________________________________________________________________________________
35. What are the driving forces making thrifting popular?
