I was born in a small town in Pakistan called Quetta in 1980. When I was a little boy of about ten years old, I developed an interest in calligraphy. Back then we only had a TV channel with limited programs. One of the programs was about learning calligraphy. I was engaged and spent several years learning different calligraphy scripts (笔迹) in the Urdu language.
After graduation, I came to Dubai, UAE. Falling in love with the architecture and high-rise buildings, I wanted to shoot the amazing beauty from different angles. So I bought a camera and learned photography, joined photography groups and attended workshops. However, after a few years, I got bored of photographing landscapes and cityscapes.
Seven years ago, while going through the photography blogs and looking through others’ works, I read the term called “light painting”, a photography technique that allows you to draw in space. I started experimenting with that and soon it hit me: why not bring back my passion for calligraphy using light painting technique? Since that day, I’ve been drawing light calligraphy. To achieve the best results, I decided to build the lights myself. The best part about my work is that they are not beautified digitally. I prefer getting the results directly from the camera. I don’t even turn over the images. To achieve that, I have to write in reverse (倒置) and that took a lot of practice to get it right.
Currently, I’m working on the idea of bringing abandoned places back to life, including buildings which have lost their charm and are hidden in darkness. Through my photography, I try to employ light calligraphy by writing a word that attaches a deep meaning to those places and telling stories behind them. In this way, I hope people will revisit these places and appreciate the real reason for their construction.
24. What can be inferred from the author’s experience in Quetta?
A. He put great effort into learning calligraphy.
B. He grew bored with limited media programs.
C. He was masterfully trained by TV experts.
D. He created various scripts for the local TV shows.
25. What made the author interested in taking pictures in Dubai?
A. The stories hidden in old buildings. B. The works of famous photographers.
C. The visual appeal of city architecture. D. The unique landscape of the desert town.
26. How did the author achieve his best results in light calligraphy?
A. By learning from others. B. By sticking to the original.
C. By drawing in open space. D. By beautifying his photos.
27. What is the author’s role in practising his current idea?
A. A traveler recording his personal journey.
B. A photographer protecting dark areas.
C. A researcher exploring building history.
D. An artist giving life to forgotten places.
C
While poor air quality is widely known to damage our lungs, recent scientific findings suggest it could also explain why an increasing number of children need glasses. Scientists have discovered that youngsters tend to maintain healthier vision in environments with reduced air pollutants.
The researchers focus specifically on myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness. It has truly become a severe health crisis across East Asia. In China, for example, over 80% of adolescents suffer from this vision issue by the time they graduate from high school. Furthermore, 10% of teens experience extreme nearsightedness.
Historically, genetics, routines, and diet were considered primary causes. “However, our latest research confirms a direct connection between air pollution and childhood myopia,” notes Zongbo Shi from the University of Birmingham. His team examined comprehensive personal, medical, and environmental data — including smog levels — from nearly 30,000 students in Tianjin, China.
But exactly what happens to youngsters’ eyes when they breathe in polluted air? Paul Foster, an eye specialist at University College London, explains the potential mechanism. “Exposure to toxic air might lead to the narrowing of blood vessels within the retina (视网膜) — the crucial layer of light-sensitive cells at the back of the eyeball,” he says. Consequently, this physical change significantly increases the likelihood of youngsters developing nearsightedness.
Admittedly, this research has certain limitations. For instance, it depended heavily on self-reported data, which can sometimes be unreliable. Moreover, scientists measured pollution exposure based on air quality around campuses, ignoring the fact that children don’t remain at school all day, much less on weekends. Nevertheless, the investigation offers a promising direction for protecting youngsters’ eyesight. Ultimately, breathing purer air might just mean sharper vision for children globally.
28. What causes nearsightedness in children according to the new study?
A. Lack of a proper diet. B. Improper use of eyes.
C. Exposure to air pollution. D. Problems with genetics.
29. Why does the author list the figures in Paragraph 2?
A. To stress the urgency of the issue. B. To compare the vision of the youth.
C. To prove the cause of poor eyesight. D. To explain the process of vision loss.
30. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. What causes nearsightedness in children.
B. What leads to the problems in the retina.
C. How sensitive children are to air pollution.
D. How air pollution causes nearsightedness.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards the study?
A. Favorable. B. Critical. C. Unclear. D. Doubtful.
D
Honey is a sweet treat that most people take for granted. But it is more than just a topping for cakes or a sweetener for tea. It’s a miracle of sorts.
Honey is the only food product made by an insect that humans eat. Even with all our technical abilities, no one has figured out how to make artificial honey. There’s really no substitute (替代品).
A single pound of honey may require a beehive of up to 60,000 bees to visit two million flowers. No wonder some people call it liquid gold! Although amber-colored clover honey tends to be most common, honey comes in a variety of shades and flavors, depending on the flowers that the bees gather nectar (花蜜) from.
Honey has been used throughout history in a number of ways. One of the most remarkable things about it is that it never goes bad. It may crystallize, meaning that it becomes solid in parts, but simply warming it slightly will melt the crystals and return the honey to its liquid form.
No one knows exactly how long honey has been used by humans, but Spanish cave paintings dated at 7,000BC show early evidence of beckeeping. Honey was also used by the ancient Egyptians as a sweetener, as a gift to the gods, and even as an element used to create mummies. Honey has been found inside the Egyptian pyramids, and although that honey was more than 3,000 years old, it would still taste like honey and be safe to eat. No other food has such lasting power!
Besides its many uses as a sweetener, honey has long been used as a medicinal remedy (疗法). Because it’s difficult for any kind of bacteria (细菌) to survive in honey, it makes a perfect barrier on cuts and can prevent infection. Honey is also an effective remedy to relieve a painful throat. It has even been found to be as effective in easing coughs in children.
The next time a bee flies through your garden or you spread some honey on a piece of toast, think about the miracle of honey.
32. According to the passage, what makes honey unique among the foods that humans eat?
A. Its various shades. B. Its natural creation.
C. Its delightful sweetness. D. Its remarkable history.
33. Why does the author mention the honey in the Egyptian pyramids?
A. To illustrate that it never goes bad. B. To show the cleverness of Egyptians.
C. To compare it with the honey in Spain. D. To inform that it originates from Egypt.
34. What is one of the medicinal uses of honey?
A. Promoting bacterial growth. B. Curing throat pain.
C. Preventing infection in wounds. D. Resisting common colds.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Honey: a Sweet Miracle of Nature B. Honey: a Timeless Treasure
C. Honey: a Natural Medicinal Remedy D. Honey: a Common Sweetener

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。
It was the day before Mom's birthday, and 17-year-old Liam had promised to bake her favorite chocolate cake. For weeks, he had been learning baking secretly from online videos, determined to surprise her with a perfect homemade cake. The kitchen counter was already lined with fresh ingredients—flour, cocoa powder, and eggs—ready for his grand baking mission.
But just as Liam tied his apron (围裙),his phone rang. It was his best friend Mark, excitedly announcing he had gotten two tickets to the season's biggest basketball game—the one they'd been dreaming of for months. “Come on! This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance!” Mark insisted. “You can bake the cake tomorrow morning before the party.”
Liam hesitated, glancing between the unopened flour bags and his phone. The game started in two hours, and the cake would take at least three to prepare. His fingers drummed nervously on the counter. “Mom would want me to have fun.” he reasoned. “Alright, I’m in!” he finally said, pushing aside his doubts.
The game was thrilling, and Liam didn't get home until midnight. Exhausted, he set his alarm for 5 AM and fell asleep. But when he woke up, sunlight was already flooding his room—it was 9:30! The party he had promised his mom started at 11!
Panicked, Liam sprinted to the kitchen. There was no time to bake now. Then he saw it—a supermarket cake his dad had bought as backup (备用品). “Maybe if I decorate it nicely,mom will not notice.” he thought desperately. As he hurriedly decorated the cake with some frosting, his hands shook. Before he could react, the cake lost its balance and slipped on the floor. Liam's heart sank. The kitchen was a disaster.
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。
Hearing the noise,Mom entered the kitchen.
To his surprise, mom pulled him into a hug.
