When I was a student in a small town, learning beyond the classroom once felt impossible. Our school library was tiny, and new textbooks came only once a year. I often dreamed of reading extensively (广泛地), but such dreams seemed out of reach. Then came the Internet. At first, it was just a tool for sending messages, but I soon discovered its power to open the door to knowledge and connect me with a wider world.
With a few clicks, I can now reach online libraries, research articles, and video lectures from professors around the globe. I still remember the excitement of finding a website that explained physics concepts more clearly than any textbook I had used. Gradually, studying didn't feel like a duty—it became a journey of exploration. I could learn anytime, anywhere, following my curiosity instead of waiting for lessons in class.
The turning point came during a long winter when our town was cut off by heavy snow. Schools were closed for weeks, but online lessons continued. Through virtual classrooms and discussions, I stayed connected with my teachers and classmates. For the first time, I realized that learning no longer depended on a physical place. Technology had broken the walls that once confined education.
Later, I began using an AI-based learning app. It analyzed my mistakes, tracked my progress, and recommended exercises suited to my level. The progress was remarkable. I understood that technology, when used wisely, could make learning not only more efficient but also more personal and enjoyable.
Now, as I look back, I see how the Internet has reshaped my world. It has made knowledge accessible, flexible, and alive. What once seemed distant has become part of everyday life. Technology, in the end, has not replaced learning—it has redefined it, turning limitation into possibility and curiosity into growth.

A.He had no interest in textbooks.
B.He faced a shortage of resources.
C.He was addicted to the Internet.

26.What does the underlined word “confined” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Limited. B.Dominated.
C.Defined. D.Supported.
A 解析:词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“For the first time... had broken the walls”可知,此处是指科技打破了过去限制教育的藩篱,由此可推知,画线词意为“限制”。

Sending a thumbs-up can be seen as passive aggressive (冒犯), according to Gen Z (those born between 1995 and 2009) who say they feel attacked whenever it is used.Whether the chat is informal, between friends or at work, the symbol appears to have a very different, “rude” meaning for the younger generation.
A 24-year-old young man summed up the Gen Z argument, saying it is best never used in any situation as it is “hurtful”.“No one of my age in the office does it, but the Gen X (those born between 1966 and 1980) people always do it.Take me a bit to adjust and get it out of my head that it means they're mad at me,” he added.Other young people agreed it is a bad form, especially at work where it can make the team appear unfriendly and not easygoing.
“My last workplace had a chat group for our team to send information to each other, and most of the people there just replied with a thumbs-up.I don't know why, but it seemed a little bit aggressive to me,” one woman said. The woman also said the thumbs-up actually means that “I've read your message and have nothing to add and I hope and pray...all the people in this group chat have nothing to say on it too.”
Older workers appear confused by the reaction, saying they use the thumbs-up in work-related chats to show “I agree.” or “I understood and will follow.”
Part of the issue is that young people tend to use the thumbs-up in jokes.Barry Kennedy, 24, said he only used it to communicate with older people like his parents or older colleagues.A survey of 2,000 people conducted by Perspectus Global showed that a majority of people between the ages of 16 and 29 believe that you are “officially old” if you use thumbs-up or heart emoji.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了年轻人和年长一代对竖大拇指这一表情符号的不同理解。
28.What does the thumbs-up emoji mean to Gen Z according to the passage?
A.It shows agreement.
B.It is considered rude or hurtful.
C.It is used to joke with older people.
D.It symbolizes friendship.
B 解析:细节理解题。根据第一段内容和第二段中的“A 24-year-old young man summed up the Gen Z argument...as it is ‘hurtful’.”可知,竖大拇指的表情符号被Z世代认为是粗鲁或伤人的。
29.Why does one woman find the thumbs-up emoji aggressive in her workplace?
A.Because it is a formal way of communication.
B.Because it shows disagreement with her messages.
C.Because it seems dismissive and unresponsive.
D.Because it was used only by younger colleagues.
C 解析:推理判断题。根据第三段中的“I don't know why, but it seemed a little bit aggressive...have nothing to say on it too.”可推知,一名女性在工作场所会觉得竖大拇指的表情符号很有攻击性是因为她觉得这种回复显得轻蔑和无动于衷,缺乏积极参与或友好互动的感觉。
30.What can be inferred about older workers from the passage?
A.They misunderstand the younger generation's emoji preferences.
B.They intentionally use thumbs-up to annoy younger colleagues.
C.They avoid using emojis in work-related chats.
D.They view emojis as inappropriate in formal settings.
A 解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的“‘No one of my age in the office does it...it means they're mad at me,’ he added.”和第四段内容可推知,年长的员工误解了年轻一代对表情符号的偏好。
31.Which of the following is the most suitable title for the passage?
A.The Emoji Debate: Generational Differences
B.How Thumbs-Up Became a Global Symbol
C.The Rise of Emojis in Professional Chats
D.Why Older Workers Prefer Thumbs-Up
A 解析:标题归纳题。通读全文可知,本文介绍了年轻人和年长一代对竖大拇指这一表情符号的不同理解。所以,A项最适合作为本文的题目。
D
Climate models can give us a preview of how humanity's actions—or inaction—will change our planet over the coming decades and centuries.But because the planet is such a complex system, they aren't perfect climate models and have uncertainties that grow larger as they go farther into the future.Scientists and engineers from across the country are teaming up to build a new type of climate model that is designed to provide more precise and actionable predictions.
Current climate modeling relies on dividing up the globe into a grid (格子) and then computing what is going on in each sector of the grid, as well as how the sectors interact with each other.Limitations in available computer processing power mean that those sectors generally cannot be any smaller than tens of kilometers per side.But for climate modeling, the devil is in the details—details that get missed in a too-large grid.“For cities planning their stormwater management facilities to resist the next 100 years' worth of floods, this is a serious issue.Concrete answers about the likely range of climate outcomes are key for planning.” says Tapio Schneider, senior research scientist at CliMA.
Weighing recent advances in the computational and data sciences, the team plans to step in and each of the partners brings a different strength and research expertise to the project.“Our goal is a new model that projects future changes in critical variables such as cloud cover, sea ice extent, and rainfall more accurately—with uncertainties at least half the size of those in existing models,” said Dr.Andrew, the team leader.
One doubter about the application of climate models is Raffaele Ferrari, a Cecil and Ida Green Professor of Oceanography at MIT.“Using a model, we become puppeteers, masters of a giant system that is, in truth, beyond human control.We can cool or heat the planet at will, add salt or ice or rain or dust in any amount we want,” Dr.Ferrari says.“We have no backup planet.How climate models are used remains to be seen.”
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了气候模型的工作原理、存在的局限性,以及科学家们如何努力改进气候模型以提高预测的准确性和实用性。
32.Why are climate models built?
A.To collect scientific data.
B.To monitor human actions.
C.To deliver useful forecasts.
D.To maintain social systems.
C 解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Climate models can give us a preview...decades and centuries.”以及“Scientists and engineers...to provide more precise and actionable predictions.”可知,建立气候模型是为了提供有用的预测。
33.What is the problem of current climate modeling?
A.Shortage of facilities.
B.Reliance on computers.
C.Inability to get smaller grids.
D.Limitation in simplifying details.
C 解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Limitations in available computer processing power mean...get missed in a too-large grid.”可知,当前气候模型的问题是无法得到更小的网格。
34.What does the team aim to do?
A.Investigate serious issues.
B.Guarantee the safety of the city.
C.Change the future climate.
D.Improve the accuracy of the models.
D 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Our goal is a new model...uncertainties at least half the size of those in existing models”可知,团队的目标是提高模型的准确性。
35.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Climate models enjoy great popularity.
B.Scientists have created a new climate model.
C.Doubts about climate models are disappearing.
D.Caution is advised in the use of climate models.
D 解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“We have no backup planet.How climate models are used remains to be seen.”可推知,使用气候模型时应谨慎。

Offering advice isn't easy.You may feel pressured, especially if you've accidentally given unhelpful advice before.But these tips will help you become skilled at it soon!
Take time to think about the issue if you can.Spend a day or a few hours exploring its possible solutions.You may even ask someone more knowledgeable for advice.However, most people need immediate help when they ask for advice.36.________________
Talk them through the difficulties.Talk about the hard parts of their situation and why they're problematic.37.________________ Something they see as an impassable barrier might be easy to overcome with an outside perspective. For example: “You want to join the school play but worry it's too hard.What's stopping you? Memorizing lines? Fear of performing in front of others?”
Help them evaluate the problem from an outside angle.People often miss the whole situation or solutions because they focus on small problems.38.________________ From your perspective, point out details they've missed.If a friend worries a handmade party gift isn't “fancy enough”, note unique items get more compliments than expensive ones.
39.________________ Guide them through their options, then suggest new ones.Don't let them reject options quickly—weigh all fairly.If they dismiss an option, find the real reason; they may object according to wrong ideas.For example: “You want better grades but worry about time.Try a study schedule, ask teachers for help, or join a study group?”
Share any information you have.After discussing options, share your experience or what to expect.This helps them clarify feelings about options.40.________________ Remember to avoid bias and judgment in your words.
Also, know when to be firm or kind—most need encouragement, but sometimes honesty is key.Finally, stress you can't control the future: you can't guarantee results, but you'll support them.
A.Open them up to all their options.
B.Help them step back by looking at the big picture.
C.List each option and then compare its good and bad points.
D.This helps them break down big problems into small steps.
E.It will also help them feel more confident about their final choice.
F.So you must ask other experts for more detailed suggestions right away.
G.So you might have to respond to the best of your ability and follow up later.

In a city of wealth, comfort and fine food, there's a quiet alley (小巷) where passers-by often take several photos.Sharing 41 with elegant cafes and world-class bars, a tiny fruit and vegetable 42 seems to have been transported from a country road far away.But what lets the stall(货摊) even more 43 in the heart of the city is that payment is on the honor system—customers just toss coins into an old mailbox—and most of the items on offer are at a low 44 in a neighborhood where fresh food usually goes for much, much more.
The greengrocer with a heart of 45 is rarely glimpsed by her grateful customers.Sally Brown rises before 46 to prepare to work in her fields.Depending on the 47 , she'll reap (收获) onions, eggplant, green peppers, etc.And she works several overnight 48 every week at a nursing center to supplement her and her husband's modest salaries.
All this 49 one day as she was selling produce, and a young customer said that he barely earned enough to buy food.“I hate the idea of young people walking around 50 ,” Sally said.The 51 was planted.“I want young people to feel that they're not forgotten, and that they are 52 , ” she said.“Not everyone is out for himself.I can make money anytime.Right now, I want to give young people a(n) 53 hand.”
Sometimes, when she arrives late in the day, customers get a chance to 54 her in person.In return, she's fond to respond with a botanical saying that she 55 from a life that's had its share of both joy and pain.“Even in a field full of weeds,” she likes to say, “you can grow something if you put in the effort.”

A Stray Cat on Campus: Caution vs.Compassion
Recently, a stray cat on campus has sparked a heated debate. Some think it should be driven out, as it often walks into classrooms freely, which disturbs class order and even brings the risk of scratching students.However, others hold the opposite view.They believe all living things have souls, so out of humanity, we should give the cat a place to live.
In my opinion, we can find a balance.Instead of driving it away, we can set a special area for the cat away from classrooms.Also, volunteers can check its health regularly.In this way, we can not only express our care for the stray cat but also ensure the safety of the campus, achieving a perfect balance between compassion and caution.

My Little Farm Project
My love for planting started with a school project.We were tasked with growing a plant at home.I chose garlic (大蒜) because it seemed easy.I found a head of garlic in the kitchen, and my mom showed me how to separate it.I planted a few of the small sections in a pot and placed it by the window where it could get plenty of sunlight.Watering it daily became my new routine.One day, to my surprise, green shoots appeared! Watching them grow, I felt a sense of excitement.When I finally harvested a perfect bulb of garlic, I was incredibly proud.That small success “planted” a big idea in my mind.“Since we live on a farm, why not grow more for family food?” I thought.
I first talked about my idea with my dad, who was busy on the farm.He thought for a moment and then pointed to a sunny spot.“You can use that area,” he said.“But it's hard work.” My mom was supportive too.The next day, she drove me to the local garden store.We bought packets of carrot seeds.As we left, she picked up a few discarded (丢弃的) garlic sections on the ground.“No waste on a farm!” she said.I also told my best friend, Leo, about my plan.Since his family had a small garden, he offered to help me that weekend.When Leo arrived, we saw my mom casually throwing those garlic pieces onto the freshly turned soil of our new garden bed.
We started by clearing the plot of weeds and rocks.The sun was hot, and the work was tough.Seeing us struggling, my dad brought over a machine to loosen the soil.My mom brought us drinks.With their help, we soon had a neat garden bed.We carefully planted the seeds in straight rows, just like the instructions on the packets said.I watered the soil gently.Every day after that, I would check the plot, hoping for the first sign of life.

One possible version:
Under our care for weeks, tiny green shoots finally pushed through the soil. I was overjoyed to see the first signs of life. Each day, the plants grew taller and greener, and I couldn't wait to see what they would become. My parents often joined me in the garden, helping to water and weed. We talked about the different stages of plant growth, and I learned a lot from their guidance. As the weeks passed, the garden transformed into a vibrant patch of green, filled with the promise of a bountiful harvest.
The harvest day was the most rewarding experience. We gathered around the garden, armed with baskets and scissors, ready to collect the ripe vegetables. The sun was warm, and the air was filled with the scent of fresh earth and ripe produce. As we picked the carrots and garlic, I felt a deep sense of satisfaction. It was amazing to see the fruits of our labor come to life. We cooked a delicious meal with the fresh vegetables, and everyone praised the flavor. That day, I realized that growing our own food is not only rewarding but also a wonderful way to connect with nature and family.
