Berry has been accused of illegally killing hundreds of deer and 11 (take) their heads for trophies. Officials said it was one of their 12 (large) ever poaching investigations. Generations of children and adult have been reduced to tears by the carton film of Bambi 13 (release) in 1942 in which the young fawn’s mother is killed by a hunter. B Yawning is something we all do — maybe because we’re bored or tired. Many of us think we yawn to take in more oxygen, 14 in fact there is no clear biological reason. A new research suggests it might be because yawning cools the brain down and 15 (prevent) it from overheating, much like the fan in your laptop.

As nations strive to reduce their carbon footprints, residential energy use — responsible for nearly 20% of energy-related emissions — poses unique challenges. Below is the 2025 breakdown of household emissions by source. ELECTRICITY 52% HEATING 28% COOLING 12% APPLIANCES 6% LIGHTING 2% Clean energy solutions for homes must be affordable, efficient, and adaptable to diverse climates. While technologies vary, here are key innovations driving the shift toward sustainability. HEAT PUMPS — Efficient Heating/Cooling Replacing gas boilers, electric heat pumps transfer warmth from air or ground, cutting heating emissions by 50%. Hybrid models, hopefully, might be able to work in sub-zero temperatures in the near future. SMART GRIDS — Dynamic Electricity Management AI-powered grids optimize energy use, storing surplus solar power during peak hours and reducing reliance on fossil-fuel backups. SOLAR PANELS — Rooftop Revolution Solar energy is the most accessible renewable source for households. Advances in photovoltaic cells (光伏电池) have cut costs by 80% since 2010, making them cost-efficient in numerous regions. WIND TURBINES — Community Microgrids Small-scale turbines (涡轮机) in windy areas can power neighborhoods, though land use debates persist. “The scale of this transition is staggering,” says Dr. Elena Torres, a climate scientist at MIT. Residential renewables like solar and heat pumps could meet 90% of global household demand by 2050 — but only if investments triple within this decade. Recent studies show that every $1 invested in green homes to day saves $5 in future climate adaptation costs. This isn’t just an environmental necessity, it’s economical tendency. 21. Which categories account for over three-quarters of total household emissions? A. Heating and Cooling. B. Electricity and Heating. C. Appliances and Lighting. D. Cooling and Appliances. 22. Which technology is cost-effective in numerous regions? A. Heat pumps B. Smart grids C. Wind turbines D. Solar panels 23. What does Dr. Torres emphasize about the energy transition? A. The dominance of gas boilers B. The increase in solar efficiency C. The need for higher investment D. The breakthrough in heat pump technology B Last spring, my neighbor Donna and I, both in our seventies, spent several hours in the glorious sunshine enjoying the new season. When it was time to sit down and relax, Donna pulled out her red metal chair from her garage, and I sat on an overturned plastic bucket. It was fun to catch up on the news that we had missed during the long winter indoors. However, over the next few days, it turned out that we needed more than a chair and a bucket which were not quite comfortable. Donna decided we needed a bench. After dismissing unsuitable options from local stores, she found a perfect one online. The next day it arrived. Excitedly, she opened the box and started putting it together. We proudly high-fived each other as the pieces joined up and the bench started to look like one. After a few minutes’ assistance from a neighbour, it was complete. What’s more, it was the perfect fit for two 70-somethings to carry on late afternoon chats. Soon, the bench attracted other neighbors. One day, someone called out from the sidewalk, “What do you do on that bench?” Quick-thinking Donna called back, “It’s our ‘Thinking Bench’! We think about important things happening in our lives.” Then, the name gradually evolved — after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a “Decision-Making Bench”; another time, when Donna was caught napping, she insisted she was “meditating (冥想)”, adding yet another name. Last fall, with the temperature falling, we came to the end of sitting outdoors. We were faced with one problem — what to do about it in the winter? Well, we sat down and thought and meditated and decided to put it in Donna’s garage for the winter. When I glimpsed it a few times over the next months, the bench sat lonely, holding empty flower pots, and some flat, old boxes. But now after a long winter, spring flowers are ready to bloom in the warm sunshine, and we neighbours are ready to welcome “The Bench” back into our lives. 24. Why did Donna decide to replace the chair and bucket? A. To lighten the carrying load. B. To attract more neighbours. C. To get better seating for chats. D. To adapt to warmer weather. 25. How did the bench get its various names? A. From items placed on it. B. From seasonal discussions. C. From users’ activities on it. D. From Donna’s creative ideas. 26. Why are pots and boxes mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To suggest the flowers would soon be planted. B. To show the bench was not serving its purpose. C. To describe the bench’s practical use in winter. D. To explain why the bench needed winter storage. 27. Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage? A. Bonding through a bench. B. Having fun with neighbors. C. Cherishing the time together. D. Varying activities in the season. C Many people believe that creativity is a unique gift belonging to a small group of talented individuals. They tend to think only gifted people are born with creative minds, while ordinary people can hardly come up with original thoughts. However, recent psychological and behavioral research suggests that creativity is not an inborn talent but a practical learnable skill that can be gradually developed through long-term daily training. Researchers carried out a two-month experiment targeting ordinary college students with no artistic foundation or creative experience. All participants were required to complete interesting small creative tasks every day, including redesigning common daily objects and writing short imaginative paragraphs. During the whole process, participants were not pushed to achieve perfect outcomes. Instead, they were motivated to put forward bold and novel ideas and learn to accept unavoidable mistakes calmly. The final collected data brought out impressive results. After daily persistent training, most participants achieved much higher scores in creative thinking tests. They became far better at linking unrelated things together and creating brand-new original ideas. Most importantly, the research proved that the core of gaining creativity rests with active exploration instead of natural talent. Those brave enough to break traditional fixed thinking patterns can more easily work out creative solutions to problems. Even so, plenty of people struggle to develop their inner creativity. The biggest obstacle comes from the fear of failure and negative comments from others. Since early childhood, people are guided to chase standard answers and stay away from mistakes. This educational habit slowly traps people’s thoughts within rigid boundaries. Different from stable intelligence, creativity can be boosted at any stage of life. The research provides a fresh viewpoint that creativity is never exclusive to geniuses. As long as ordinary people keep practicing bravely and daring to try new things, everyone can discover and unlock their hidden creative potential in daily life. 28. What task were participants asked to finish in the experiment? A. Create flawless artistic masterpieces. B. Do daily creative assignments consistently. C. Stay away from all possible errors strictly. D. Assess others’ imaginative writing works. 29. What can we conclude from the experimental findings? A. Inborn gift decides one’s creative potential ultimately. B. Ordinary people barely make progress in creative training. C. Breaking set thinking contributes to creative problem-solving. D. Related life experience guarantees better creative performance. 30. What can be inferred about the barrier to creativity? A. People lack enough time to carry out daily training. B. Public praise discourages people from risky attempts. C. Low intelligence stops people exploring new thoughts. D. Rigid thinking mode roots in early educational guidance. 31. What conclusion can be drawn from the passage? A. Creativity stops growing as people grow older. B. Only gifted persons are blessed with creative minds. C. Creativity and intelligence belong to the same nature. D. Ordinary people can tap creative potential through efforts. D Bite down on a perfectly ripe strawberry, and the pure sweetness of the juice hits you first. The strawberry-ness of a strawberry is hard to put into words. Still, even with your eyes closed, you know it instantly apart from a raspberry or a blueberry based on a swirl of perceptions that together form the complex and poignant flavor experience. That this experience happens immediately is a finely tuned dance of the senses that would be impossible without the brain as its choreographer (编舞者). Taste and flavor aren’t the same thing. “When people say something tastes good, they usually mean its flavor is good, or its sensory properties are good,” says Robin Dando, associate professor of food science at Cornell University, where he studies how humans evaluate food using their senses. But a few minutes later, even he — an expert — starts slipping up in the middle of a conversation about defining these very terms; it’s a hard speaking habit to break. “I’m saying taste, and I’m dropping back into this language that I tell my students not to use,” he says, laughing. How you cognitively perceive the world is a pretty poor representation of how the world is in reality. Watching television activates such a spell. The sound is coming out of the television speakers, separate from the moving image of a person talking. Because the sound and image come from roughly the same place in space and time, you experience the two sensory inputs as one event. Only a technical difficulty might ruin the illusion — anyone with a streaming service and a bad internet connection knows the vexation of hearing spoken words out of tune with a moving mouth. The perception that flavor is born in the mouth is a typical daily illusion, a gastronomical (美食学的) trick the brain plays that hides how your body actually works. When you’re chewing that ripe strawberry, receptors (接收器) on the tongue relay chemical information about taste to the brain separately from receptors located in the nose, which also relays chemical information to the brain, but about smells. The brain receives both at about the same time and from almost the same place on the body. In doing this, the brain finely differentiates between information coming from the receptors at the back of the nose, those that sense chewing-related smells, and receptors at the front of the nose, those that sense smells in the environment. If the brain were to mix up the information from these two sets of receptors, you’d perhaps experience the unpleasant smell of mothballs as though it were coming from your mouth. A lot of illusions make up perception, and in this case, the trickery makes a lot of sense. It’s basically imperfect physiology trying to do a better job at capturing reality. 32. What is Dando’s attitude towards misusing taste and flavor? A. Opposed B. Supportive C. Cautious D. Unclear 33. What does the underlined word “vexation” probably mean in Para 3? A. Delight B. Annoyance C. Confusion D. Unexpectedness 34. When one chews the ripe strawberry, ________. A. receptors on the nose can send taste information to the brain B. receptors in the front nose can sense the chewing-related smell C. the brain can roughly sense the information from the receptors D. the brain can precisely identify the information from the nose 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Rejection creates an emotional roller coaster (过山车). We feel the sadness, anger, and loss of the person who rejects us. 35 This is why getting over a rejection is challenging. While there is no quick fix, the following suggestions can help us overcome the confusion and ease the pain of rejection. Use the power of breath. 36 And each one affects the others. Deep breaths help us absorb the feelings and restore a sense of calm. Mindful breathing is one of the most powerful and accessible resources for self-regulation, relaxation, and overall well-being. We can also use breath to move our attention from disturbing thoughts back to ourselves. Note it down in a journal. Journaling provides a safe place without fear of misunderstanding. In moments of sadness and loss, the weight of emotions can be very great. 37 It allows us to explore our thoughts, feelings, and memories, process our experiences and find relief in pain. Learn to give to others. The acts of serving and giving to others are powerful and helpful. When we support others, especially during difficult times, something within also starts to heal (愈合) and grow. 38 When we connect with people who are less fortunate, we start to realize that our pain is less significant. Giving to others also empowers us. It gives us a sense of self-worth and moves us away from the hurt. Getting over a rejection is hard. However, your pain won’t last forever. It is there to make you grow. Everyone heals from rejection at their own pace in their own way. We are all suffering in one way or another at one time or another. We must have pity for ourselves and accept that reality. It’s important to take your time to deal with rejection and to use the practices suggested to heal and move on to the new opportunities life presents us. 39 A. Our self-respect is hurt as well. B. It is necessary to offer and accept. C. It won’t be easy, but it will be worth it. D. Accepting others’ offer makes us feel hopeful. E. It is connected to the body, emotions and thoughts. F. The pain of rejection fades away quickly. G. Rejection makes us stronger and wiser. 第三部分：书面表达（共三节，32分） 第一节 阅读表达（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 It is normal to feel worried and stressed during an exam period. Exams show progress, and failing could mean falling behind in the same course or subject. That is why most people can understand your anxiety around the exam period. However, too much worrying could be the start of failure. Here are some tips to help you stay positive. From attending classes to completing homework, the period leading to an exam is always a difficult process. This is why preparing well for the exam is key to ensure your efforts do not go fruitless. Going through practice questions beforehand never disappoints for any exam. For example, if you are a physician preparing for the USMLE exams, you could check for the USMLE practice questions before the real exam time just to familiarize yourself with the exam. By so doing, you are more guided on how and where exactly to review. Although some exams are important and could determine the future of your academic life — it cannot determine your whole life. You might have done a thorough revision but still, the first paper ended up extremely tough for you. At this point, you can only keep a hopeful mind that the next one will be easier and that you will do better. It can be really motivating for you to know that you have something positive coming up right after going through a difficult exam time. Being able to plan for a trip or buy yourself a gift after an exam is awesome enough. The fact that you are able to face the exams should be encouraging enough and you should appreciate yourself for it. Exams times are temporary (暂时的) and they are usually for a good course. In any case, you will only be dealing with the exams for a short time and so you should put all your time and energy there. 40. According to the passage, why is it understandable to be anxious around the exam period? 41. What does the author advise us to do when the first paper is rather difficult? 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. It is encouraging for you to know that something good will happen when you achieve expected results. 43. Please briefly present your ways to stay positive during an exam period.
