I had a remarkable experience with a self-driving taxi last weekend and canˈt wait to share it with you. Stepping into the taxi seemed like entering a future world. It started smoothly and automatically followed the planned route, thus bringing me a sense of calmness. Along the way, the accurate identification of traffic signals, as well as the timely adjustment to speed and direction demonstrated reliability and really amazed me. Based on this wonderful ride, I believe self-driving taxis hold immense potential. As technology continues to advance, not only will an increasing number of people be attracted to enjoying the great convenience, but self-driving taxis will definitely be more and more efficient. Yours, Li Hua 67. I picked up the note and read my fatherˈs handwriting carefully. It said, “Dear, we know youˈre stressed. Choose what you love—art or physics. Weˈll always support you. Love painting? Donˈt miss the competition. Worry about physics? Weˈll help you review. You donˈt have to be perfect. Just follow your heart.” My eyes filled with tears. I rushed to hug my parents tight, saying, “Thank you for understanding me.” In that warm hug, I felt the quiet strength of their love warming my heart like bright sunlight in the cold winter. With their encouragement, I signed up for the art competition and made a study plan. Mornings were for physics formulas; in the evening, I painted after finishing my homework. My parents bought me new brushes to cheer me on. On the competition day, they waited outside with snacks. When I won second prize, my father lifted me up, and my mother took photos. Later, my physics exam went smoothly. Looking at their smiles, I knew their tolerance was the best gift for me. This experience taught me that parentsˈ support and encouragement were influential in promoting childrenˈs personal growth. 听力原文： 1. 听力原文： W: Iˈm thinking of moving the fridge.

B Bonnie Blumberg has long recognised her motherˈs passion for knitting（针织）. When Bonnie grew up in the 1960s and 1970s, Janice, her mother, often volunteered to knit costumes for Bonnieˈs class plays—even for the entire class, staying up late to knit. Then Janice suffered 40 minor strokes（中风）and three serious ones. In 2017, she lost the use of the right side of her body and had to rely on a wheelchair. Several years ago, when Bonnie sold her motherˈs house and moved to a smaller place, she discovered three unfinished knitted sweaters while packing. Bonnie knew they were meant for her. Bonnie took the sweaters to a local knitting store, hoping to get them finished. The store staff told her about Loose Ends, an organisation that connects people with unfinished crafts（手工艺品）from ill or deceased loved ones to volunteer finishers for free. Founded several years ago, it has more than 37,000 volunteers who have finished around 5,000 projects. Loose Ends connected Bonnie with Anna Minmier, a knitter with about 20 years of experience. Anna set to work on the sweaters, her fingers moving skilfully as if dancing—a habit she has developed since she began knitting at 9. “Meeting Anna, all I could do was hug her tightly,” Bonnie said, tears in her eyes. “This project is so special. I would have paid a lot for it.” Anna spent months finishing the sweaters. She said that she felt joyful to be part of this story that connects generations, recalling her own grandmother, once a knitter who had to stop due to arthritis（关节炎）. Janice passed away last September. When Bonnie holds the finished sweaters, she will hug the memories her mother started. As Jennifer Simonic, co-founder of Loose Ends, put it, “This is more than kindness. These physical items let people hold their lost loved ones close—and that means the world.” 24.Which of the following can best describe Janice? A. Caring and hard-working. B. Patient and careful. C. Creative and imaginative. D. Brave and independent. 25.What do we know about Loose Ends? A. It trains people in knitting skills. B. It helps people complete unfinished crafts. C. It provides medical care for sick craftsmen. D. It connects craft lovers with local stores. 26.What can be learnt from the last two paragraphs? A. Annaˈs grandmother was also a volunteer of Loose Ends. B. Anna finished the sweaters quickly thanks to her experience. C. Bonnie paid a large amount of money to get the sweaters finished. D. The finished sweaters will serve as a reminder of Bonnieˈs mother. 27.What would be the best title for the text? A. Loose Ends: Connecting Craftsmen With Volunteers B. The Art of Knitting: From Generation to Generation C. Completing Unfinished Knits: Keeping Memories Alive D. A Daughterˈs Love: Bonnieˈs Care for Her Sick Mother C For many high school seniors（毕业班学生）, graduation is a bittersweet moment, filled with excitement yet doubt. Recognising this, Jason Mutterer, principal（校长）of Summit High School in Arlington, Texas, made a special effort to offer lasting encouragement. He wrote a personalised handwritten letter to each of the 443 graduating students, inspiring them and reminding them of their uniqueness before this significant milestone in their lives. Mutterer handed out the notes of encouragement along with diplomas（毕业文凭）at the graduation ceremony. “He got teary-eyed. I knew it would happen. Then he mentioned the personal letters—443 of them,” said graduate Eduardo Estrada. “I couldnˈt believe he had written a letter to every student here.” Explaining his action, Mutterer recalled receiving a similar encouraging note from his government teacher in high school. “I still have the note with me today. I was supposed to be a fourth- or fifth-generation farmer, but he told me I could go to college and succeed. Someone saw promise in me that I didnˈt see,” he said. Having worked at the school for 23 years, Mutterer transitioned（转变）from a basketball coach to principal. “He didnˈt want to be seen just as a principal; deep down, heˈs a coach and teacher,” noted graduate Andrea Lozada. Though he never taught these seniors, he knew them well. The letters praised individual achievements, used nicknames, and wished them well at their future schools. Each note included a $1 bill, aiming to inspire the seniors to pass on kindness. “A single dollar may seem small, but $443 together can cover a car payment, electricity bill, or new shoes,” Mutterer explained. On his social media account, he wrote, “These 443 handwritten letters with a dollar are small acts of kindness. They can start a wave of positive change. No kindness is too small. Take Summit Love to a world that needs it—and you.” 28.How did Eduardo Estrada feel about the principalˈs letters? A. He got a little confused. B. He felt deeply touched. C. He found them unimportant. D. He was taken by surprise. 29.What made Mutterer write to each student? A. A meaningful experience in his youth. B. A suggestion from his former teacher. C. A wish to show his generosity at school. D. A task required by the school committee. 30.What does paragraph 4 suggest about Mutterer? A. He prefers to work alone. B. He truly values his students. C. He mainly focuses on sports. D. He distances himself from others. 31.What is the authorˈs main purpose in writing the text? A. To present a headmasterˈs kindness to students. B. To advise students to pass on kindness to others. C. To introduce a high schoolˈs graduation ceremony. D. To show how a principal helped students with money. D Once upon a time in the small coastal town of Havenbrook, life was peaceful and happy. The townˈs residents（居民）enjoyed the beauty of the ocean and the quiet of their homes. However, one fateful day, their peaceful lives were turned upside down by a destructive natural disaster. The morning started like any other. The sun rose, casting its golden rays over the town. People woke up, prepared for their daily routines, and went about their business. Little did they know that a storm was brewing far out in the ocean. As the day progressed, the sky began to darken, and the wind started to pick up. By afternoon, Havenbrook was in the grip of a powerful hurricane. The hurricaneˈs fierce winds tore through the town, tearing roofs off and uprooting trees. The ocean, whipped into a frenzy by the storm, washed in huge waves into the town, flooding streets and homes. Residents, caught unprepared, hurried to find shelter. Many were trapped in their homes, waiting in terror as the water rose higher and higher. It seemed as if the world were at an end. The townˈs emergency services worked tirelessly to rescue those in danger. They drove boats through the flooded streets and moved people to safety. However, the storm was so powerful that even their efforts were limited. Many homes were completely destroyed, and lives were lost. The once-thriving town was now a scene of ruin and despair（绝望）. After the hurricane, Havenbrookˈs residents began the arduous task of rebuilding their lives. They worked together, pooling their resources and skills, to rebuild their homes and community. Support from outside the town poured in, with volunteers and donations helping to speed up the recovery（恢复）process. Slowly but surely, Havenbrook began to rise from the ruins. 32.What can we know from the first two paragraphs? A. The residents sensed the coming storm. B. The residents were unprepared for daily life. C. The residents often experienced natural disasters. D. The residents led a peaceful life before the disaster. 33.Whatˈs the main idea of paragraph 3? A. The residents started rescue work. B. The residents left their homes hopefully. C. The hurricane arrived without any warning. D. The hurricane caused serious damage and fear. 34.How did the townˈs emergency services react to the disaster? A. They sent people to safety by using boats. B. They ignored the situation and did nothing. C. They waited for the storm to pass before taking any action. D. They were unable to reach the affected areas due to the storm. 35.What does the underlined word “arduous” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Difficult. B. Happy. C. Effortless. D. Annoying. 三、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共12.5分。 Earthquakes strike without warning and are among the most destructive natural disasters. Keeping calm and reacting properly can sometimes save your life. To ride out an earthquake, remember the phrase “drop, cover, and hold on.”      (36)      Move away from buildings, street lights, power lines, and bridges.      (37)      As soon as the ground begins shaking, try to get as far away as possible from any nearby structures. Do not seek shelter under a bridge or overpass. Crouch down（蹲下）low in a wide open area until the shaking stops. Once youˈve made your way away from nearby structures, get on your hands and knees and cover your head. See if there are any objects nearby to use as a shield（掩护物）, such as a trash can lid.      (38)           (39)      As you go out after the earthquake, be careful of broken glass, rubble, downed power lines, fallen trees, and any other potential danger. Check yourself and anyone nearby for injuries. If necessary, perform first aid and call emergency services. Get to higher ground if youˈre on the shore or near a dam. Earthquakes can cause tsunamis, so put distance between yourself and the coast.      (40)      Get to ground thatˈs at least 100 ft (30 m) above sea level or 2 miles (3.2 km) from the shore. A．Drop to your hands and knees under a table or desk. B．Watch out for danger as you observe your surroundings（周围环境）. C．If possible, grab a pillow, sofa cushion, or another object to cover your face and head. D．Here are four tips helping you survive an earthquake if you are outdoors. E．If a shaking lasts more than 20 seconds, donˈt wait for an alarm or warning to escape. F．The most dangerous locations during an earthquake are areas around buildings. G．If none are available, cover your head and neck with your hands and arms. 四、完形填空：本大题共15小题，共15分。 During my first three years of college, I put on about 30 pounds of weight.

Their gentle support has guided me through many hard moments in life. Once I made a big mistake in my midterm exam. I scored far below my usual level and even lied to them about the results at first, afraid of their disappointment. But when they found the test paper in my schoolbag, I lowered my head, waiting for a scolding（训斥）. Instead, my father sat down beside me, patted my hand softly and said, “Mistakes are just lessons in disguise（伪装）, dear. What matters is being honest and fixing what went wrong.” My mother brought me a cup of hot milk, adding, “We know youˈve been trying hard. Letˈs go over the paper together tonight, okay?” Their words removed my anxiety. Another time, I fell in love with painting and spent almost all my spare time on it, which made my homework pile up. My teacher even called my parents to talk about my poor grades. I thought they would take away my paintbrushes, but they only had a calm chat with me. “We love seeing you so fond of something,” my father said. “But balance is key. Your studies lay the foundation for your future, and painting can be a wonderful break from the studies.” Guided by them, I made it a rule to finish homework first, and then paint for an hour. Soon, my grades improved, and my paintings even won a school award. Last month, I faced a tough choice of signing up for the schoolˈs art competition which would take weeks of practice or taking extra classes to prepare for the upcoming physics exam. I hesitated and stayed up late to think about this, worrying about letting my parents down.
