A new report from the International Energy Agency (IEA) reveals that global demand for solar energy reached an all-time high in 2025, with solar power now accounting for 8% of global electricity generation. This marks a significant milestone in the transition to renewable energy.
The growth of solar energy has been driven by several factors. First, the cost of solar panels has dropped dramatically over the past decade, falling by nearly 90% since 2010. Second, many governments have introduced policies to encourage the adoption of solar power, including tax incentives and subsidies. Third, improvements in battery storage technology have made it possible to store solar energy for use during non-sunny periods.
China, the United States, and India have been the top three countries leading the solar energy revolution. In 2025, China added more than 200 gigawatts of solar capacity — more than the combined total of the next five countries. The rapid growth in China is partly driven by the government’s commitment to reaching peak carbon emissions before 2030.
However, the report also highlights challenges. The solar industry faces supply chain constraints, particularly in the production of key materials like polysilicon. Additionally, the expansion of solar farms requires large areas of land, which can lead to conflicts with agricultural use. Despite these challenges, the IEA remains optimistic, predicting that solar power could become the world’s largest source of electricity by 2030.
The transition to solar energy is seen as essential for addressing climate change. As the IEA’s executive director stated, “Solar energy is not just a clean energy source; it’s an engine for economic growth and job creation.”
8. What is the main reason for the growth of solar energy?
A. Increased electricity prices. B. Technology advances and government support.
C. Reduced demand for other energy sources. D. Improved public awareness.
9. Which country contributed the most to solar energy growth in 2025?
A. The United States. B. India. C. China. D. Germany.
10. What challenge does the solar industry face?
A. High labor costs. B. Supply chain constraints.
C. Lack of government support. D. Insufficient research.
11. What is the IEA’s prediction about solar power?
A. It will remain a minor source of electricity.
B. It could become the largest electricity source by 2030.
C. It will replace all other energy sources.
D. It will decline in the coming years.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍2025年全球太阳能需求创新高,分析其增长动因、主要发展国家,指出行业现存挑战,并引用IEA对太阳能的未来预判。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The growth of solar energy has been driven by several factors. First, the cost of solar panels has dropped dramatically over the past decade, falling by nearly 90% since 2010. Second, many governments have introduced policies to encourage the adoption of solar power, including tax incentives and subsidies. Third, improvements in battery storage technology have made it possible to store solar energy for use during non-sunny periods.(太阳能的增长受到若干因素的推动。首先,在过去十年里太阳能电池板的成本大幅下降,自2010年以来降幅接近90%。其次,许多政府出台政策鼓励使用太阳能,包括税收激励和补贴。第三,电池储能技术的进步使储存太阳能以供无日照时段使用成为可能。)”可知,技术进步与政府扶持推动了太阳能发展。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“In 2025, China added more than 200 gigawatts of solar capacity — more than the combined total of the next five countries.(2025年,中国新增超200吉瓦太阳能装机容量,超过紧随其后的五个国家的总和。)”可知,2025年中国对太阳能增长贡献最大。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The solar industry faces supply chain constraints, particularly in the production of key materials like polysilicon.(太阳能行业面临供应链制约,尤其是多晶硅这类关键材料的生产环节。)”可知,太阳能行业面临供应链制约这一难题。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Despite these challenges, the IEA remains optimistic, predicting that solar power could become the world’s largest source of electricity by 2030.(尽管存在这些挑战,国际能源署依旧保持乐观,预测到2030年太阳能或将成为全球最大的电力来源。)”可知,国际能源署预测到2030年太阳能可能成为最大电力来源。

Sleep is essential for human health, yet many people struggle to get enough quality rest. According to the World Health Organization, about one-third of adults worldwide do not get enough sleep. The consequences of sleep deprivation go beyond feeling tired — they include weakened immune function, increased risk of chronic diseases, and reduced cognitive performance.
The science of sleep has advanced significantly in recent years. Researchers have discovered that sleep is divided into several cycles, each lasting about 90 minutes. These cycles include both REM (rapid eye movement) and non-REM sleep. REM sleep is associated with dreaming and is crucial for memory consolidation, while non-REM sleep helps the body repair tissues and strengthen the immune system.
Sleep quality is influenced by multiple factors. Environmental conditions such as noise, light, and temperature can affect the ability to fall and stay asleep. Lifestyle choices, including caffeine consumption, screen time before bed, and irregular sleep schedules, also play a role. Furthermore, stress and anxiety are major contributors to sleep problems.
Fortunately, there are effective strategies to improve sleep. Experts recommend maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, even on weekends. Creating a relaxing bedtime routine — such as reading, taking a warm bath, or practicing meditation — can help signal the body that it’s time to rest. The bedroom should be cool, dark, and quiet. It’s also important to limit exposure to screens at least an hour before sleep.
Although many people turn to sleeping pills for quick solutions, doctors caution against long-term use due to potential side effects and dependency. Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) has been shown to be a more effective and sustainable treatment. In essence, good sleep is not a luxury but a fundamental pillar of health.
12. What is the primary purpose of paragraph 1?
A. To describe sleep cycles. B. To highlight the importance of sleep.
C. To explain the causes of insomnia. D. To introduce sleep treatments.
13. What happens during non-REM sleep?
A. Memory is consolidated. B. Dreaming occurs.
C. Body tissues are repaired. D. Stress levels increase.
14. What strategy is recommended for better sleep?
A. Using sleeping pills regularly. B. Maintaining a consistent sleep schedule.
C. Keeping the bedroom bright. D. Using screens before bedtime.
15. What is the author’s attitude toward sleeping pills?
A. Supportive. B. Neutral. C. Cautious. D. Enthusiastic.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. C

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was walking home from work on a rainy evening when I saw an old man sitting on a bench at the bus stop. He was hunched over, his coat thin and wet. I noticed that he wasn't holding an umbrella and looked completely soaked. Most people hurried past him, their heads down against the rain.
Something made me stop. I walked over and asked, "Sir, do you need help?" The old man looked up with tired eyes. “I’m waiting for the bus,” he said. “But I think I missed the last one.” He looked at the dark sky, shivering. I checked my watch — it was already past 9 p.m. The buses stopped running an hour ago.
I learned that his name was Mr. Thompson. He lived alone and had been to the hospital for a check-up. With no phone and no money for a taxi, he had been waiting for an hour. “I’ll take you home,” I said without hesitation. His eyes widened. “But it’s so far,” he protested. “I can’t let you go out of your way.”
I insisted, and soon we were on our way. During the drive, he told me about his life — his late wife, his children who lived abroad, and his love for gardening. By the time we arrived at his modest house, he had shared more stories than I could count. He thanked me, his voice shaky, and invited me to visit anytime.
The next weekend, I decided to check on him.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A few months later, as I sat in his garden surrounded by flowers, he looked at me with a gentle smile.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
The next weekend, I decided to check on him. I brought some groceries and a warm blanket. Mr. Thompson’s face lit up with surprise and joy when he opened the door. His home was simple but filled with plants and books. We chatted for hours, and I learned more about his passion for gardening. He showed me his small backyard, where he grew roses and vegetables. “I used to do this with my wife,” he said softly. I offered to help him with the garden, and his eyes sparkled. Soon, weekends became our shared time — we planted, watered, and talked, building a friendship that grew as steadily as the flowers.
A few months later, as I sat in his garden surrounded by flowers, he looked at me with a gentle smile. “I never imagined that rainy evening would bring me such a gift,” he said, taking my hand. “You gave me hope, and you showed me that a stranger’s kindness can change everything.” In that moment, I realized that I was the one who had received the greatest gift — not just a friend, but a new understanding of life. The simple act of stopping on a rainy night had led to something far more precious than I could have imagined. We both had become part of each other’s stories, proof that compassion is the thread that connects all human hearts.

Qiu Qinyan was a young woman from a small village in Hunan Province. Growing up in a family of farmers, she had a deep connection with nature from an early age. After graduating from university with a degree in environmental science, she decided to return to her hometown to help protect the local wetlands.
In 2018, Qiu noticed that the wetland near her village was shrinking due to pollution and overdevelopment. Determined to make a difference, she started a campaign to raise awareness among the villagers. She organized clean-up activities, gave presentations at the local school, and worked with government officials to establish protected areas.
Her efforts paid off. Within three years, the wetland began to recover. Birds returned, fish populations increased, and the villagers started to appreciate the value of their natural environment. Qiu’s work attracted the attention of environmental organizations, and she received several awards for her contributions.
However, Qiu didn’t stop there. She established a training program for local farmers, teaching them sustainable farming practices that would protect the wetland while still allowing them to earn a living. She also created an eco-tourism project, which brought visitors to the area and provided additional income for the community.
Qiu believes that environmental protection and economic development can go hand in hand. “We don’t have to choose between nature and our livelihoods,” she says. “If we work with nature, we can have both.”
4. What made Qiu return to her hometown?

A new report from the International Energy Agency (IEA) reveals that global demand for solar energy reached an all-time high in 2025, with solar power now accounting for 8% of global electricity generation. This marks a significant milestone in the transition to renewable energy.
The growth of solar energy has been driven by several factors. First, the cost of solar panels has dropped dramatically over the past decade, falling by nearly 90% since 2010. Second, many governments have introduced policies to encourage the adoption of solar power, including tax incentives and subsidies. Third, improvements in battery storage technology have made it possible to store solar energy for use during non-sunny periods.
China, the United States, and India have been the top three countries leading the solar energy revolution. In 2025, China added more than 200 gigawatts of solar capacity — more than the combined total of the next five countries. The rapid growth in China is partly driven by the government’s commitment to reaching peak carbon emissions before 2030.
However, the report also highlights challenges. The solar industry faces supply chain constraints, particularly in the production of key materials like polysilicon. Additionally, the expansion of solar farms requires large areas of land, which can lead to conflicts with agricultural use. Despite these challenges, the IEA remains optimistic, predicting that solar power could become the world’s largest source of electricity by 2030.
The transition to solar energy is seen as essential for addressing climate change. As the IEA’s executive director stated, “Solar energy is not just a clean energy source; it’s an engine for economic growth and job creation.”
8. What is the main reason for the growth of solar energy?
A. Increased electricity prices. B. Technology advances and government support.
C. Reduced demand for other energy sources. D. Improved public awareness.
9. Which country contributed the most to solar energy growth in 2025?
A. The United States. B. India. C. China. D. Germany.
10. What challenge does the solar industry face?
A. High labor costs. B. Supply chain constraints.
C. Lack of government support. D. Insufficient research.
11. What is the IEA’s prediction about solar power?
A. It will remain a minor source of electricity.
B. It could become the largest electricity source by 2030.
C. It will replace all other energy sources.
D. It will decline in the coming years.
D
Sleep is essential for human health, yet many people struggle to get enough quality rest. According to the World Health Organization, about one-third of adults worldwide do not get enough sleep. The consequences of sleep deprivation go beyond feeling tired — they include weakened immune function, increased risk of chronic diseases, and reduced cognitive performance.
The science of sleep has advanced significantly in recent years. Researchers have discovered that sleep is divided into several cycles, each lasting about 90 minutes. These cycles include both REM (rapid eye movement) and non-REM sleep. REM sleep is associated with dreaming and is crucial for memory consolidation, while non-REM sleep helps the body repair tissues and strengthen the immune system.
Sleep quality is influenced by multiple factors. Environmental conditions such as noise, light, and temperature can affect the ability to fall and stay asleep. Lifestyle choices, including caffeine consumption, screen time before bed, and irregular sleep schedules, also play a role. Furthermore, stress and anxiety are major contributors to sleep problems.
Fortunately, there are effective strategies to improve sleep. Experts recommend maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, even on weekends. Creating a relaxing bedtime routine — such as reading, taking a warm bath, or practicing meditation — can help signal the body that it’s time to rest. The bedroom should be cool, dark, and quiet. It’s also important to limit exposure to screens at least an hour before sleep.
Although many people turn to sleeping pills for quick solutions, doctors caution against long-term use due to potential side effects and dependency. Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) has been shown to be a more effective and sustainable treatment. In essence, good sleep is not a luxury but a fundamental pillar of health.
12. What is the primary purpose of paragraph 1?
A. To describe sleep cycles. B. To highlight the importance of sleep.
C. To explain the causes of insomnia. D. To introduce sleep treatments.
13. What happens during non-REM sleep?
A. Memory is consolidated. B. Dreaming occurs.
C. Body tissues are repaired. D. Stress levels increase.
14. What strategy is recommended for better sleep?
A. Using sleeping pills regularly. B. Maintaining a consistent sleep schedule.
C. Keeping the bedroom bright. D. Using screens before bedtime.
15. What is the author’s attitude toward sleeping pills?
A. Supportive. B. Neutral. C. Cautious. D. Enthusiastic.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was walking home from work on a rainy evening when I saw an old man sitting on a bench at the bus stop. He was hunched over, his coat thin and wet. I noticed that he wasn't holding an umbrella and looked completely soaked. Most people hurried past him, their heads down against the rain.
Something made me stop. I walked over and asked, "Sir, do you need help?" The old man looked up with tired eyes. “I’m waiting for the bus,” he said. “But I think I missed the last one.” He looked at the dark sky, shivering. I checked my watch — it was already past 9 p.m. The buses stopped running an hour ago.
I learned that his name was Mr. Thompson. He lived alone and had been to the hospital for a check-up. With no phone and no money for a taxi, he had been waiting for an hour. “I’ll take you home,” I said without hesitation. His eyes widened. “But it’s so far,” he protested. “I can’t let you go out of your way.”
I insisted, and soon we were on our way. During the drive, he told me about his life — his late wife, his children who lived abroad, and his love for gardening. By the time we arrived at his modest house, he had shared more stories than I could count. He thanked me, his voice shaky, and invited me to visit anytime.
The next weekend, I decided to check on him.

A few months later, as I sat in his garden surrounded by flowers, he looked at me with a gentle smile.
