Growing up, an apology in our home rarely came with spoken words. Instead, it arrived silently on a plate of carefully sliced fruit. To understand this gesture, you had to read between the lines to find the “I’m sorry” that was never clearly voiced. In many Asian households, love and repair are implied rather than stated, leaving children to interpret the hidden affection. While these acts carry genuine care, they often leave the fundamental need for emotional acknowledgment unfulfilled.
Consider a recent ski trip: My wife called our 10-year-old son a “fool” when he forgot his gloves. He was visibly upset, his shoulders dropping in shame. Rather than becoming defensive or ignoring his feelings, she chose a different path. She bent down to his eye level and apologized directly: “I didn’t mean that you were a fool. I meant the act was foolish. I should never call you names. Can you forgive me?”
In that moment, she performed a crucial psychological task: Separating his identity from his behavior. He wasn’t a “bad kid”; he had simply made a mistake. This distinction is vital for moving from deep shame toward healthy growth. By apologizing, my wife wasn’t “losing face” or sacrificing her authority, as our own parents might have feared. Instead, she was gaining something far more durable: trust. She showed our son that his emotional well-being mattered more than her parental pride.
The traditional “fruit plate” strategy functions as a placeholder for closeness, but it lacks the precision of language. Using real words to match a child’s experience of hurt provides a form of healing that a snack cannot replace. Healing cultural shame requires us to recognize when we are wrong, transcending the rigid roles of the past. It means understanding that apologizing is not a threat to one’s status, but a bridge to a child’s heart.
Instead of reaching for the oranges to slice, we must reach for the words that do not come easily. We must acknowledge the impact of our actions with clarity and courage. In doing so, you offer a gift of nurturing that is far sweeter than any plate of fresh fruit.
24. What can be inferred about many Asian families from the first paragraph?
A. Parents do not care about their children.
B. Children usually dislike receiving food.
C. Love is often expressed in indirect ways.
D. Spoken apologies are common in family life.

B. Direct apology strengthens the parent-child bond.
C. Parental comfort may weaken children.
D. Parents shouldn’t correct children’s mistakes.
26. What does the underlined word “transcending” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Embracing. B. Maintaining. C. Overcoming. D. Expanding.
27. What can be the best title of this text?
A. The Silent Language of Fruit Plates B. The Power of Spoken Apologies
C. The Importance of Parental Authority D. The Lesson from a Family Ski Trip
C
The Rubik’s Cube (魔方) was invented in 1974 by Erno Rubik. It rapidly became a popular puzzle worldwide. At first, people just wanted to solve the puzzle. But soon, one group of users had a new goal — to solve the cube as quickly as possible. These people are known as “speedcubers”.
The fastest human speedcubers can solve a cube in about 3.05 seconds. In 2020, a group of students at MIT set a record with a robot that solved the cube in 0.380 seconds. That made an impression on Matthew Patrohay, who was in high school at the time. Now Mr. Patrohay is a student of Purdue University. He and three other students have built a robot that can solve a Rubik’s Cube far faster. Their “Purdubik’s Cube” robot can solve a cube in 0.103 seconds.
The team built the robot as part of a senior project. The students met through a program that helps students get real-world work experience. They use cameras to rapidly detect the colors of each of the cube’s squares. The robot’s computer program uses special strategies to solve the puzzle quickly. And its motions are very precisely controlled.
To work so quickly, the project uses a special cube that sits in the middle of the robot’s “arms”. These arms allow the robot to turn the sides of the cube. But at such high speeds, an ordinary cube will fall apart, so the students had to create a stronger cube that would hold together. Mr. Patrohay says the robot is so fast that “before you even realize it’s moving, we’ve solved it.”
The students won a school design contest last December with Purdubik’s Cube, and they continued to improve the robot after that. Now they’re excited to have broken the world record.
One of the students’ professors says he’s not surprised. “Take brilliant students, give them the tools and opportunities,” he says, “And they’ll blow your mind.”
28. What inspired Matthew Patrohay to build a faster robot?
A. A high school science project.
B. His passion for Rubik’s Cube.
C. His professor’s encouragement.
D. A robot record in solving the cube.
29. What can be inferred about the team’s achievement?
A. It resulted from a practical student project.
B. It was immediately recognized as a world record.
C. It depended more on hardware than on software.
D. It prove human speedcubers no longer competitive.
30. Why did the students have to design a stronger cube?
A. To fit the robot’s arms. B. To match the high speed.
C. To use it on a very frequent basis. D. To improve motion precision.
31. What does the professor feel about his students?
A. Proud and satisfied. B. Regretful but understanding.
C. Shocked and pleased. D. Optimistic but doubtful.
D
Today, Mars is a cold and dry desert. But there is evidence that billions of years ago, it had a thick atmosphere and liquid water, making it a promising place to look for signs of past life. The mudstones, found in a dusty riverbed by NASA’s Perseverance Rover, are dotted with interesting markings named leopard spots and poppy seeds. Scientists believe these features contain minerals produced by chemical reactions that could be associated with ancient Martian microbes (微生物).
The Perseverance Rover, which touched down on the Martian surface in 2021, was sent to search for signs of biology. It has spent the last four years exploring a region called the Jezero Crater, which was once an ancient lake with a river flowing into it. The rover found the leopard print rocks last year. They are about 3.5 billion years old and are a type of rock called mudstone, which is fine-grained rock formed from clays. The rover used several instruments in its onboard lab to analyze the minerals in the rocks. This data was then sent back to Earth for scientists to study.
In similar conditions on Earth, chemical reactions that produce these minerals are typically driven by microbes. At a press conference, NASA said the features could be the clearest signs of past life yet found on Mars. However, the minerals could also have formed through geological processes without the involvement of microbes.
The only way to fully confirm if the minerals were made by microbes would be to bring the rocks back to Earth for analysis. A Mars sample return mission has been proposed by NASA but its future looks highly uncertain. The US Space Agency’s science budget is facing huge cuts that have been put forward in President Trump’s 2026 budget and a sample return mission is one of those facing cancellation.
NASA’s plans for such an effort hang in the balance because of the threatened budget cuts, but China is also pursuing a sample return mission that could launch in 2028. While the decision is debated, scientists are desperate to get their gloved hands on the rocks.
32. How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph?
A. By drawing a contrast. B. By using an example.
C. By asking a question. D. By citing an opinion.
33. What is the role of the Perseverance Rover according to the passage?
A. It sent back the rock samples. B. It performed the entire analysis.
C. It confirms the biological origin. D. It serves as a mobile laboratory.
34. What does paragraph 3 suggest about the minerals?
A. They prove that microbes still live on Mars.
B. Their biological origin remains unconfirmed.
C. They cannot form through geological processes.
D. Their formation mechanism is similar to that on Earth.
35. What puts NASA’s Mars sample return mission at risk?
A. The loss of contact with the rover. B. A shortage of suitable rock samples.
C. The proposed reduction in science funding. D. The failure of the onboard instruments.

I have always loved to travel and experience new things and for many years my travels were one big checklist with flights from city to city, “must-do lists” and pins on Google maps. 36 Maybe it started after the pandemic, when we were all forced to learn to appreciate the little things in everyday life. Or maybe I have always had some slow travel tendencies in me.
37 Not rushing with a pre-determined plan, but taking the time to get to know the area. Having time to wander casually along towards the little handwritten sign and not just visiting popular scenic spots. What I discovered when I started to slow down, was that I SAW more. I found small family vineyards that no guidebook or influencer would ever discover. I had time to talk to the people I met, and I took the time to sit down at a small cafe that no one would ever recommend. 38
One thing I have also discovered, as a result of my slower travel, is that I very rarely book my trips far in advance these days. A good example is this summer’s road trip, where the route and final destination in France were decided two days before departure. There was no must-do list to check off, and there were no map pins that needed to be visited. 39 What we managed to do, we managed to do. What we didn’t manage to do, we’ll do next time. It’s always possible to go back to a destination that you don’t feel finished with — one of the reasons why I’ve visited Australia six times and will probably never feel finished with that country.
Another aspect that is important for the future of travel is sustainability. Staying longer in one place lowers carbon emissions, helps boost local economy and lets you enjoy authentic local life. You also have more time to walk and cycle instead of driving. Fewer transports, fewer international chains, fewer travel days. 40 Could slow travel be a way to resist environment pressure and blind consumption?
A. Instead, I would explore news spots once I arrived.
B. It is wise to make full preparations before setting off.
C. Yet gradually I changed my way of travelling unconsciously.
D. I used to attach great importance to taking beautiful travel photos.
E. It is friendly to the environment and helps out unnecessary expenses.
F. For me, slow travel is about getting to know a place a little more thoroughly.
G. That way, I experienced more, felt more and became more focused on the present moment.

Cong you ban mian, originating from China’s Jiangnan region, delivers a deeply tasty complexity that defines the essence of Eastern Chinese home cooking. Every bowl I tasted as a child was rich with 56 (sweet), making me assume it required a long list of complex 57 (seasoning). In reality, the magic relies entirely on a single, transformative element: scallion (大葱) oil.
The process embodies the subtle balance of traditional Chinese cooking. Raw, sharp scallions are gently slow-fried in neutral oil. The whites go into the pan first to soften, 58 (follow) by the bright greens, drawing out their natural sugars while 59 (reduce) their sharp bite. Within ten minutes, the oil takes in a grassy, caramelized (焦糖化的) flavour 60 instantly makes anything it touches taste better.
While chili oil has captured global kitchens already, scallion oil 61 (remain) the essential, widely used ingredient of everyday Chinese cuisine. It is far easier to make them complex spice oils, requiring no precise temperature control. A jar in the fridge is 62 effortless gateway to authentic flavour. I either spoon it over delicate Cantonese-style steamed fish 63 use it to finish simple soups.
Best of all, this traditional technique gives you a brilliant two-for-one reward. You get a beautifully fragrant oil, alongside the fried scallions 64 (they). For minimal effort, scallion oil delivers an 65 (incredible) rich return, proving why it is an essential core of Chinese comfort food.

67.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。
Grandpa handed Toby a small whistle (哨子) carved out of thick animal bone. Its surface was worn smooth by years of use. “This is a winter whistle,” Grandpa explained. “If you are ever lost in the woods when it snows, blow this. The sound carries far across snow-covered ground. We will hear you and come find you.”
Toby slipped it deep inside his winter-coat pocket, “I’m 12, and I no longer need to call for help!” To him, blowing the whistle would mean admitting he was not brave enough.
That weekend, Toby went snow-trekking (雪地徒步) in the nearby forest with his best friend Jax. But an argument broke out between them over a silly game. Toby stormed off in anger, leaving Jax behind. He told himself he did not need anyone’s company. He would explore deeper into the woods alone to prove how tough he was.
But the sun began to set. Grey clouds rolled in unexpectedly. A bitter winter wind sprang up. Snow began to fall heavily, piling up. The gentle afternoon snow quickly turned into a snowstorm. Visibility dropped sharply. Toby could no longer tell which path led back home. He was lost.
Cold bit through his gloves and his winter jacket. His cheeks and nose ached from the bitter wind. Panic rose inside his chest. He pulled his hands out of his gloves and searched inside his coat pocket. His fingers closed around the hard shape of Grandpa’s whistle. It was right there. But shame washed over him. He had run away after the fight. If he blew the whistle, Grandpa and Jax would know he had acted stupidly. They would laugh at him for getting lost. Pride held him back. He stuffed the whistle back into his pocket and told himself he could find the way home by himself.
He struggled forward through the heavy snow. The wind howled, blowing snow into his eyes. The temperature kept dropping. Still, the whistle stayed safely hidden in his pocket. As it was getting dark in the snowy woods, Toby felt close to faint from the cold. He had to hide behind a large pine tree for shelter.

Dear Chris,
I’m thrilled to learn that you’re curious about our “Green Environmental Outdoor Practice”! I’m writing to share some details of this meaningful activity with you.
It was held in a nearby riverside wetland, where we were grouped to collect litter like plastic bottles. Guided by teachers, we sorted the trash properly and learned effective ways to protect fragile ecosystems.
Not only did this event open my eyes to the harm of pollution, but it also showed me the power of teamwork. Do you have similar activities at your school? Looking forward to your reply!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
例文
Inside his pocket, the bone whistle pressed against his hand. Torn between his stubborn pride and deadly danger, Toby stared at the worn whistle in his freezing hand, wrestling fiercely with his conflicting thoughts. Faced with the biting cold and endless swirling snow, he came to realize that clinging to pointless pride was never true bravery. Shivering violently, he lifted the whistle to his cracked lips and blew hard. Sharp, clear notes of the whistle cut through the howling wind. He kept blowing at regular intervals, hoping the sound could travel far over the snow.
The sound of the whistle drew anxious Grandpa and Jax over. Toby’s heart leaped with relief as they finally found him behind the pine tree. Grandpa wrapped a thick blanket around his trembling body and rubbed his cold arms. Jax explained how they followed the whistle here. Ashamed, Toby admitted that it had almost cost him his life just to prove his bravery, thanking them for rescuing him. On their way home, the whistle hanging around his neck, Toby thought to himself: True courage is knowing when you need help and daring to ask for it.

M: Really? How does it work?
W: It uses flashcards and quizzes based on spaced repetition. I’ve found it very useful.
(Text 6)
W: Oh, hi, Alan! Welcome back!
M: Hello, Susan.
W: It’s good to see you. How are you feeling?
M: Well, a little uncomfortable having to walk around with this thing on my neck, but basically OK.
W: That’s good. So are you back at work now?
M: Yeah. To tell you the truth, I missed the place.
W: I bet you did. How are Julia and the children? June said they were in the car too when it happened.
M: Oh, they’re fine. I was the only one who was hurt, thankfully.
(Text 7)

W: What did you think of the book I lent you, David?
M: Well, it was slow to start with, Maria.
W: Oh, I was attracted by the plot at once, and I thought the characters were fantastic.
M: Yeah. Is it a book you’d reread?
W: Certainly. I liked the style — and with the chapters all being told through the eyes of a different person, you get a varied view on everything that happens.
M: Is that it then? We never know what’s really happened because no two people see things the same way. And they change their minds from day to day?
W: True. But that’s exactly what the author wanted to put across.
(Text 9)
W: 3D has been widely promoted as the next big thing, but it’s not actually that new, is it?
M: Yes and no. 3D printing has actually been around since the early 1980s, but it wasn’t until the 1990s that 3D printers became commercially available, and their price has gone down in the last few years.
W: How does 3D printing actually work?
M: So, think of something like an apple, the way you would reproduce it with 3D printing is to take a digital image of the apple and then slice it into very thin layers. The printer would then print each of these layers, pressing them down, so in the end, you have a perfect copy of your apple.
W: What do you see as the impact of 3D printing?
M: In the next decade, 3D printing is going to end up as the future game-changer. These printers are becoming so affordable and available to small businesses. And all of a sudden, small companies can design, market, and sell products with the same capabilities that large manufacturers have.
W: What are some issues involved with this technology?
M: When anyone can reproduce objects, protecting manufacturers’ intellectual property becomes difficult. Think of the unresolved sharing issues the digital music industry experienced.

M: Now, I want to tell you about a fantastic new exhibition at the Science Museum. It’s called “A Changing World” and is all about global warming.
The first thing you’ll notice when you walk in is hundreds of pairs of Wellington boots. Everyone needs to wear a pair of these because the whole exhibition area is flooded with water. The idea is to show what will happen if sea levels continue to rise. It really makes you think!
One of the best displays is the one about the Arctic. In this room, there is a huge block of ice, which is slowly becoming liquid. There are also a number of photographs, which show really clearly how the sea ice is disappearing year after year.
As you walk around the exhibition, you’ll see that all over the walls there are posters which explain the causes and effects of global warming. The content was written especially for this exhibition by a number of well-known scientists, so you can be sure you are getting the most up-to-date information possible.
At the end of the exhibition, there are some computers. You can use these to send emails, either to politicians, telling them what you want them to do, or friends. You can let them know what you have learned or give them some advice on what they can do to stop global warming.
