Sonya Smithart, a legally blind woman from West Columbia, sat near her TV with a notebook and pencil, watching Quilt(缝被子)in a Day. She wrote the host’s instructions in large letters. After years of wanting to learn, she finally said, “I’m going to teach myself to quilt.”
Growing up on a small farm in the early 1950s, Sonya loved watching her mom gather around a home-made quilting frame. “Will you show me how?” Sonya asked, but schoolwork and odd jobs kept her busy. Shortly after high school, she married, started a family and worked long hours as a short-order cook to help make ends meet.
In 1989, a friend gave Sonya’s husband, Buddy, an old quilt. “I’ll start by fixing this,” Sonya thought after watching Quilt in a Day, and she took apart the quilt and put it back together using cloth strips(布条). “It’s as good as new!” Buddy said in surprise, and Sonya felt she was ready to make a quilt all by herself.
Over the next several years, she made quilts for her 3 children and 6 grandchildren. But her mission quickly expanded. Her uncle(Carlisle)in India cared for 25 orphaned(孤儿)children who slept on boards. Sonya’s heart went out to them, and so did her quilts. It took three months, but she completed 25 quilts for the children— and their note of thanks brought tears. “This is the reason I learned to quilt,” she realized.
In 36 years, Sonya has made and donated more than 3,000 quilts to a local hospital, Ronald McDonald House and child residential centers. Two of her children have also carried her quilts on trips across South America. Foreign exchange students have taken them home to England, Scotland and Sweden.
Now 86, Sonya still spends four hours a day making quilts for hurricane victims in North Carolina and children displaced by floods in Virginia. Two of her children helped deliver her quilts.
24.Why did Sonya fail to learn quilting from her mom when she was young?
A.She was not interested in quilting then.
B.She had to help support her family early.
C.She was occupied with her studies and housework.
D.She couldn’t do needlework due to her poor eyesight.
25.What did Sonya do when she first tried to learn quilting?
A.She sewed a quilt for her own children.
B.She fixed a worn-out quilt with cloth strips.
C.She took a quilting class in her community.
D.She sent quilts to orphan in another country.
26.What can be inferred about Sonya from her work for orphaned children?
A.She preferred working for foreign children.
B.She hoped to gain international recognition.
C.She saw quilting as a powerful way to show her care.
D.She believed small efforts could solve global poverty.
27.What does the last paragraph suggest about Sonya?
A.She has taught her children to make quilts.
B.She has retired from quilting due to old age.
C.She has decided to move closer to her children.
D.She continues her charitable work despite her age.

Decades before “scrambling(徒手攀登)” became a trendy term for adventurous hiking, Alan Kane had been exploring Canada’s Rocky Mountains. Since the 1970s, he has completed over 1,000 ascents(攀登), pioneering a style of climbing that bridges hiking and technical rock climbing. Now in its fourth edition, Scrambles in the Canadian Rockies remains the definite guide for climbers seeking to test their skills on the region’s challenging yet accessible landscape.
Scrambling, as Kane defines it, involves routes with short climbing sections(below or barely reaching fifth-class difficulty)that don’t require ropes or advanced equipment. However, these climbs demand physical fitness, caution, and an awareness of mountain dangers like loose rocks. Kane developed this approach out of necessity: limited by injuries from skydiving and heavy backpacking, he began seeking routes accessible by road that avoided technical facilities or camping.
Early in his career, Kane joined the Alpine Club of Canada and began tackling 11,000-foot peaks. Depressed by the lack of detailed records for scrambling routes, he spent years researching historical journals and guidebooks. His efforts culminated in the 1991 release of Scrambles in the Canadian Rockies, which quickly became essential for climbers. Thirty-three years later, the updated fourth edition introduces 19 new routes, including ascents of Mount Temple, Chancellor Peak, and Mount Robertson—some of the guidebook’s most difficult climbs. Kane warns that routes labeled “climber’s scrambles” may approach fifth-class difficulty, urging readers to study his difficulty ratings carefully.
For beginners, Kane offers two key tips: master the equipment and danger guidelines in his book, and always climb with experienced partners or clubs. He emphasizes that online platforms and websites lack the reliability of his guide, noting that many digital resources contain dangerous inaccuracies or unclear advice.
Kane’s work stands as a proof to decades of dedication. Whether you’re a seasoned climber or new to the Rockies, his guide is an invaluable tool— and, at $40, one of the best investments for your next adventure.
28.Why did Alan Kane turn to scrambled?
A.He lacked interest in technical rock climbing.
B.He wanted to join the Alpine Club of Canada.
C.He suffered physical limitations due to injuries.
D.He aimed to explore completely unmapped areas.
29.What can be inferred about the fourth edition of Kane’s guidebook?
A.It includes more challenging routes than earlier versions.
B.It is less expensive than other climbing guidebooks online.
C.It has removed some outdated routes from previous editions.
D.It was based on his extensive research into historical records.
30.What does the underlined word “culminated” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Began suddenly. B.Ended successfully. C.Continued gradually. D.Failed completely.
31.What does Kane think of online climbing resources?
A.They serve as good supplements to printed guidebooks.
B.They attract far more beginners than traditional clubs.
C.They offer climbers timely and convenient updates.
D.They are less reliable than his printed guidebook.
D
Breakfast is the most crucial meal of the day, and the way it’s served is also significant. The classic hotel buffet, while popular, leads to huge food waste— sometimes doubling the leftovers compared to ordered meals. For years, experts have tried to encourage restraint(限制), but new research from Norway and Italy offers a fresh idea: a virtual breakfast buffet.
Researchers at NORCE and the University of Bologna built a computer simulation(模拟)populated with digital guests. They identified four main factors driving a guest’s behavior: hunger, desire for sustainability, social pressure, and self-control. These internal motives were mixed with external factors like plate size, food variety, and dining duration. Some virtual guests were “business travelers” in a rush, while others were tourists with three hours to spare.
After running hundreds of simulations, the model revealed clear patterns. Unsurprisingly, a person’s attitude toward sustainability was the strongest influence limiting waste. Social pressure also played a big role; people tended to overeat if they thought others were doing the same. Among external factors, plate size was the most critical. Although guests with small plates went back for more food, they generally finished what they took, unlike those with large plates.
So, how can this help hotels? The virtual model allows managers to test changes without spending a fortune. They can experiment with different food arrangements or see what happens if plates are 20% smaller. They can also redesign signs to have the desired effect on their guests.
This project, part of a larger European effort called CHORIZO, is just the beginning. Researchers are now using these findings to test real-world interventions. Travelers should take note: the next time you are faced with a buffet, your choices might just be helping science fight food waste.
32.Why did researchers build the virtual breakfast buffet model?
A.To find ways to reduce food waste effectively.
B.To attract more tourists to enjoy hotel buffets.
C.To prove buffets cause more waste than orders.
D.To compare eating habits of different countries.
33.Which factor has the greatest impact on reducing waste according to paragraph 3?
A.The variety of food on offer. B.The dining duration of the guests.
C.The social pressure from other guests. D.The guests’ eco-friendly awareness.
34.What can we infer about small plates from the study?
A.They cost hotels much less money. B.They make guests eat more quickly.
C.They help cut down on leftovers. D.They reduce guests’ eating desire greatly.
35.What is the best title for the text?
A.Why Hotel Buffets Are So Popular Today
B.How to Make Buffet Breakfasts Less Wasteful
C.The Harm of Overeating at the Breakfast Table
D.Differences Between Tourists and Business Travelers

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。
Looking back at your younger self, you may feel a sense of shame at certain decisions— the awkward haircut, the thoughtless text message, the friendship you let fall apart. 36________ But holding onto shame or regret only weighs you down. Learning to make peace with who you used to be is an essential step toward emotional freedom.
Practice self-kindness instead of self-criticism. When you remember a past mistake, your first reaction might be to blame yourself severely, yet that doesn’t help. 37________ And remind yourself that you did the best you could with the knowledge and maturity you had at that time. Your past self was not foolish; you were simply learning.
Recognize that growth requires imperfection. No one becomes wise without first being unwise. 38________ Every embarrassing moment or poor choice was actually a lesson in disguise(伪装). Instead of wishing you had known better, thank your past self for going through those experiences so your present self could benefit.
39________ Write a letter to your younger self— not to correct you, but to thank you. Acknowledge your struggles and remind yourself that everything turned out fine. This simple act can transform how you view your personal history.
Separate who you were from who you are now. You are not the same person you were five years ago, or even last year. Holding onto past identities prevents you from evolving. The person who made that mistake no longer exists. 40________
A.Have a conversation across time.
B.Forgive yourself for not knowing better.
C.It’s easier to avoid the past than to face it honestly.
D.Letting go of who you used to be is an act of growth.

Lilly became my new partner, not just in work, but in life.

第二节(满分25分)
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。
The family had been on the road for nearly six hours. Leo, his wife Elena, and their seven-year-old daughter Mia were driving back from a weekend trip. The GPS showed they still had two hours to go. Eager to get home earlier, Leo decided to take a less traveled country road as a shortcut.
It was past ten at night. The road was narrow, with thick woods on both sides and no streetlights. Mia had fallen asleep in the back seat, holding her favorite stuffed rabbit tightly. Leo and Elena were chatting about the trip when suddenly—BANG.
The car slid to one side suddenly. Leo struggled to pull over to the road shoulder. “A flat tire,” he said, his voice tense. He got out and saw the rear(后面的)left tire completely broken. “I don’t know how this happened. There’s no spare—we used it last month and never replaced it.” “Dial 911,” Elena reminded, but both their phones showed zero bars.
Elena’s face turned pale. Trapped on the lonely country road, they had no choice but to look for a garage(修车店)nearby, yet the nearest town with a functional garage was at least fifteen miles away. The night air was cold, and the only sound was the wind. Mia woke up and started crying softly. “Daddy, I’m scared.” “It’s okay, sweetheart. We’ll be fine,” Leo said, but his voice gave away his worry. He turned on the car’s hazard lights(双闪), hoping that someone would pass by and offer them a helping hand.
Twenty minutes passed. Then forty. No cars came. Elena wrapped her arms around Mia, trying to keep her calm. “What if nobody comes?” she whispered to Leo. He didn’t answer. He feared the worst: losing power, and Mia falling ill from the bitter cold on such a cold night. Just as hope began to fade, a pair of headlights appeared. From inside the cold car, he caught sight of a truck approaching in the distance.
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。
Hope instantly flooded Leo’s heart.
They finally arrived at the garage with the truck driver’s help.
