B From a young age, I had needed to write as one needs to breathe, but social values convinced me that writing wasn’t worthy. “Writing won’t pay the bills,” people said. Yet chaining myself to other professions frightened me even more. So I set foot on Iceland as an exchange student, giving myself one more year to decide what to do with my life. However, after a month of living in Iceland, I was still unaccustomed. The cold wind, the unfamiliar language, and the long nights only deepened my uncertainty. One day, in class, I started writing a poem on my notebook. Outside, Mount Tindastóll’s snowy heights were lit in pink from the late sunrise. It was as if the mountain was on fire with soft, warm light. I became so absorbed in pressing its beauty onto paper that I did not notice my teacher, Geirlaugur, until he cleared his throat and asked, “Poetry?” My face turned red. “Sorry,” I said, expecting to be told to focus on the lesson. Geirlaugur called me to his desk the next day. I was expecting criticism, but instead he handed me a collection of Icelandic nature poems. He told me, “Keep going, and your work will be published one day. Onwards.” I was speechless. For the first time, someone had taken my writing seriously. That thin book of poems became my treasure. From that day on, my relationship with Iceland shifted. I threw myself into reading Icelandic novels, found friendship and belonging, and realized that Icelanders respect writers. One friend told me proudly that Iceland is a nation of writers: one in ten would publish a book. I began to see the land not as cold and foreign, but as alive with stories waiting to be told. I would not have become a writer were it not for Iceland. She renewed my confidence in the worthiness of writing. Her mountains remain my inspiration. And if I ever feel the old doubt creeping back, I close my eyes and hear Geirlaugur’s voice, “Onwards.” 24. Why did the author go to Iceland? A. To decide on her future path. B. To escape from social pressure. C. To find new inspiration for writing. D. To learn Icelandic from the natives. 25. Which of the following best describes Geirlaugur? A. Calm and modest. B. Strict and responsible. C. Humorous and easygoing. D. Encouraging and insightful. 26. What did the author do after receiving the poetry collection? A. She buried herself in Icelandic novels. B. She followed Geirlaugur’s career path. C. She published her first poem in Iceland. D. She wrote more poems about mountains. 27. What can be the best title for the text? A. Iceland: A Nation of Writers. B. A Memorable Stay in Iceland. C. How a Teacher Shaped My Career. D. Onwards: Iceland Led Me to Writing. C Popular among fashion celebrities, Labubu, a small, bunny-like toy with a doll’s face produced by Pop Mart, has become a street style item as bag charms since 2024. Unless you’re directly connected to the creator, your only way of getting a Labubu is by trying your luck at a Pop Mart store or paying resale (零售) and auction (拍卖) prices. The $ 20 to $ 30 retail prices for general releases often skyrocket on the secondary market, with rare pieces selling for hundreds of times their original price. According to experts, this craze reveals meaningful insights into today’s luxury consumers. Facing economic challenges and climate chaos, audiences are lowering purchasing power as they mature. In this context, toys like Labubu offer a form of escapism, which has led to an undeniable increase in “kidult” customers in recent years, with a real appetite for nostalgic (怀旧的) joy and perhaps a simpler time. For fans, styling them with luxury handbags helps show off their personality and refresh their style. Labubu’s exposed teeth and striking colors represent the ugly-cute aesthetic (美学), offering an alternative to today’s unrealistic standards of perfection. The continued hunger for Labubu is a definitive proof that its “ugly-cute” aesthetic has struck a universal chord. The success of Labubu owes much to the blind box format. “The nature of the blind box itself is addictive. It’s super rare that you get the one that you actually want. So you keep buying more,” says Maria. Tora Northman adds, “The blind box concept is the reason why they’re all so exciting — it’s not just buying a toy. Actually, it is taking part in the unboxing experience.” The ritual (仪式) of unboxing fuels consumers’ desire to repeat the experience, which leads to repeat purchases. And, because they love it so much, they share the unboxing experience on their favorite social media platforms. The thrill of joining a popular craze and owning sought-after items ultimately drives more shoppers. 28. What can we learn about getting a Labubu from paragraph 1? A. It centers on auction sales. B. It calls for celebrity approval. C. It comes through luck or resale. D. It relies on personal connections. 29. Why do “kidult” customers favor Labubu? A. It matches luxury handbags. B. It offers comfort and nostalgia. C. It helps fight economic challenges. D. It shows their strong economic power. 30. What does the “ugly-cute” aesthetic challenge? A. High-end luxury designs. B. Modern celebrities’ tastes. C. Impractical perfection ideals. D. Traditional toy appearances. 31. What is the text mainly about? A. The magic of blind boxes. B. The ugly-cute trend in toys. C. The rise of kidult consumers. D. The reasons for Labubu’s craze. D Keeping food cold often comes with a hidden problem: traditional ice melts, leaving pools of water that can make drinks watery, damage products, or even spread dangerous bacteria. Now, researchers at the University of California, Davis, have created jelly ice, a reusable and biodegradable (可生物降解的) alternative that cools like ice but never melts into liquid. The new material is made of 90% water and can be shaped into various forms. It stays solid below freezing, softens at room temperature, and can be reused by simply washing and refreezing. “Compared to regular ice of the same shape and size, jelly ice has up to 80% of the cooling efficiency,” said Jiahan Zou, a study researcher. “We can reuse the material and maintain the heat absorbance across multiple cooling and warming cycles, an advantage that regular ice cannot offer.” The project began when UC Davis food scientists noticed how much ice was used in fish-processing plants and how meltwater could spread bacteria. Seeking a safer option for grocery seafood displays, the team turned to gelatin — a food-safe material whose protein structure can trap water during both freezing and thawing. After years of testing, the researchers perfected a simple, one-step process for making jelly ice. The material is made from natural components and can be biodegraded after use. It doesn’t contribute to microplastic pollution, even offering a side benefit of improving tomato plant growth when added to soil. Beyond grocery stores, jelly ice could have wide applications. It could help preserve medical supplies during shipping, reduce waste in biotechnology, and provide reliable cooling options. It promises fresher food shipments without the mess of melting ice packs while also offering a sustainable alternative that reduces pollution risks and supports agriculture. Although licenses for the technology have already been secured, jelly ice is not yet available for public purchase. It still requires market analysis, product design, and large-scale production testing. Inspired by its success, the team is now studying other natural polymers, such as plant-based proteins, to see if similar innovations can be developed. 32. Which best describes jelly ice? A. Fast-freezing and solid. B. Reusable and eco-friendly. C. Inexpensive and convenient. D. Unchangeable and small-sized. 33. What does the underlined word “thawing” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Losing its structure. B. Spreading bacteria. C. Melting into liquid. D. Staying frozen solid. 34. What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A. The broad uses of jelly ice. B. Problems of traditional ice. C. How jelly ice preserves food. D. Jelly ice’s role in pollution reduction. 35. What can be inferred about jelly ice from the last paragraph? A. It has been mass-produced. B. It has got official approval. C. It is based on plant proteins. D. It is on sale in grocery stores. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Practise Your Leadership Qualities What is leadership? 36 In today’s fast-changing world, several core qualities stand out as essential to effective and respected leadership. Be a good communicator. Learn public speaking skills and writing skills. You should be able to express yourself clearly so that people are more likely to listen to you. If you are in a position to do public speaking, practice at home in front of a mirror. Notice your mannerisms (举止) and facial expressions while speaking. 37 Don’t get discouraged if you feel nervous or mess up the first few times. Just keep at it! Distribute the workload. Have others help with the work, and distribute jobs evenly among everybody so that one person will not have to shoulder all of the work. Be resourceful. 38 If you don’t know the answer to something, or notice that you must do something but you’re not sure how to do it yourself, you’re the one who should ask questions of your teachers, coaches, etc. It’s your job to create access to information and to supplies that you need for various projects and activities. Not sure where to get certain props (道具) for the musical? Discuss it with the teacher director. Suspect that your team would benefit from one extra practice per week? 39 Be open-minded and flexible. A good leader will be willing to listen to the group when deciding if a certain rule or policy needs to be changed. Sometimes the way things have been done is outdated or could be done in a better way. And being open to change is always a wise choice for a leader. Listen to the complaints or the satisfactions of the group. What is working well? What needs to be changed?

And I hated it. Buses always arrived right before closing time. Kids hurried off, messing up the once spotless lobby (大厅), so I had to clean it all over again. The work took up my entire day, yet I was paid very little in return. Then I was assigned to work at the drive-through (汽车外卖窗口). The non-stop dinging in my ear would drive me crazy. Noisy vehicles hurt my ears, drowning out the voice of the person who was ordering. Some people spoke so softly that I assumed they were talking to each other. Yet later, they yelled at me because I failed to respond. There were also people who were talking among themselves when ordering and got mad at me when I asked them to check their orders. Some people left their radios on, which also drowned out their voices. Others, with an unpleasant smell of smoke, came to the window, talking rudely, and shouting at their family members. They changed their orders many times but still blamed me for getting their orders wrong. I gradually became afraid of going to work, feeling unhappy the moment I got to work, and even lost my temper easily after work. Soon I realized this situation couldn’t last. Nothing would change unless I changed myself. I had two choices: either feel terrible all day and hate my life, or find a way to stay positive at work. So I decided that for just one day, I would say something nice to everyone who came to my drive-through window. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Honestly, it was easier said than done. __________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ The most amazing thing of all, though, wasn’t my own reaction, but theirs. ______________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
