The narrow old bookstore had stood on the corner for forty years. Lisa passed it every day on her way home from school, yet she never stepped inside. She preferred e-books, believing physical books took up too much space and lacked convenience. One rainy afternoon, dark clouds rolled in suddenly and heavy rain poured down without warning, forcing her to run into the small shop.
The shop was filled with the smell of aged paper. Tall wooden bookshelves reached toward the ceiling, packed tightly with books from different periods. Light came in softly through the windows, creating a peaceful atmosphere. An elderly man ran the store alone. Instead of greeting her warmly, he just nodded and returned to sorting piles of books. Lisa wandered casually, not planning to buy anything. She pulled a worn travel journal from the shelf, whose former owner had filled the pages with notes, small sketches (草图) and personal feelings about journeys across the country.
Curious, Lisa started a short conversation with the owner. He told her that many second-hand books carried hidden stories left by previous readers. He refused several high offers from property developers who hoped to turn the site into a popular coffee shop. To Lisa’s surprise, he did not earn much money from the business. When she asked why he kept operating the store, he said he viewed it as a bridge connecting different strangers across time.
Lisa left the bookstore with that travel journal. In the following weeks, she often returned to the shop after school. Gradually, she realized e-books offered quick reading, but second-hand printed books held unique warmth. Months later, she began bringing her own used books to share with other readers visiting the shop. She came to understand that value did not just lie in information itself, but in the human connections carried together with it.
4. Why did Lisa enter the old bookstore for the first time?
A. To buy a travel journal. B. To get out of the rain.
C. To enjoy its special smell. D. To have a chat with its owner.
5. What does paragraph 3 say about the bookstore owner?
A. He aims to make big profits.
B. He enjoys collecting various sketches.
C. He hates to communicate with customers.
D. He sees deep emotional value in the bookstore.

A. The low prices of second-hand books.
B. Suggestions from other bookstore visitors.
C. The pleasant atmosphere of the old bookstore.
D. Fresh inspiration from the bookstore experience.
7. What message does the text try to deliver?
A. Paper books carry more than information.
B. Protecting books calls for public awareness.
C. Old bookstores are falling behind digital times.
D. Communication between strangers is important.

Kensington Market, located in central Toronto, is a lively community that acts as a living museum of multiculturalism, with a history of over a hundred years. Founded in the late 1800s as a Jewish immigrant community, the market has grown into a famous global melting pot where dozens of different cultures live together peacefully, creating a unique urban landscape that fully shows Canada’s multicultural identity.
Walking through its narrow, tree-lined streets, visitors enjoy a rich sensory feast of global cultures. Portuguese bakeries sell warm, fresh baked goods next to lively Caribbean chicken stands, while Vietnamese noodle shops sit closely next to Mexican food stands and cozy Ethiopian coffee houses. The air is filled with the rich smells of mixed spices from around the world, and the soft sounds of multiple languages — English, Spanish, Mandarin, and various other local languages — create a warm background of lively cultural exchange. Local sellers sell unique handmade goods, from delicate local art to soft South Asian cloth, fully celebrating the rich cultural heritage of Toronto’s diverse communities.
Beyond its tasty food and shops, Kensington Market is an important cultural centre for various community events and festivals. The annual Kensington Market Festival of Lights turns the streets into a shining, lively celebration of art and culture, attracting performers and visitors from every cultural background. The market also hosts colorful cultural fairs, lively music festivals, and cross-cultural workshops that fully show the unique traditions of different immigrant groups, from grand Chinese Lunar New Year celebrations to meaningful Mexican Day of the Dead events. These gatherings not only preserve precious cultural heritage well but also effectively promote mutual understanding and close connection between different communities.
Today, Kensington Market symbolizes how different cultures can live together in harmony. As a key part of Toronto’s well-known multicultural identity, it shows that this diversity is not a dividing problem but a valuable source of strength, creating a richer, more tolerant society for all.

D
On paper, hydrogen (氢气) looks like a dream fuel. In practice, things are more difficult. Storing meaningful quantities of hydrogen gas requires pressing it several hundred times. Transforming it into a liquid state is another option, but one that requires cooling the stuff to -253℃. Either process requires rugged containers. Over time, hydrogen gas can pass slowly into metals, weakening them and potentially causing damage. Therefore, containers must be built from special materials designed to avoid this breakdown.
Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute led by Marcus Vogt think that supplying hydrogen in paste form (糊状) offers a way around some of its limitations. They have been experimenting with a chemical mixture that can be put into a container and then made to give off its hydrogen on demand.
Their invention, which they nickname “powerpaste”, looks like toothpaste. Its main part is magnesium hydride, a mixture that when introduced to water, reacts with it to form hydrogen and magnesium hydroxide. The escaped hydrogen can then be sent into a fuel container, where it reacts with oxygen from the air to produce electric power. The magnesium hydroxide waste is emptied from the reactor automatically.
Dr Vogt’s invention offers several advantages over batteries, petrol and more traditional ways of handling hydrogen. One is that it can store more energy per litre and per kilogram than batteries or petrol. A second is ease of refilling, which is simply a matter of replacing an empty container of paste with a full one, and adding water, which is stored in a separate tank. A third advantage is that, unlike a battery, the paste does not gradually lose its stored energy if it is left on the shelf. Moreover, the paste itself is harmless, and so are the reaction’s by-products.
But there are still more to work through. Magnesium hydride reacts only slowly with water. To address this, Dr Vogt and his team have found a chemical additive that greatly speeds up the reaction. They have also found a way to ensure that the reaction can be controlled to supply only as much hydrogen as is needed at any given moment.
12. Which of the following best explains “rugged” underlined in paragraph 1?
A. Small. B. Weak. C. Tough. D. Huge.
13. What can we know about the invention according to paragraph 3?
A. Water and electricity are necessary in the process.
B. The remaining waste needs removing with extra help.
C. Several chemical reactions occur in the same container.
D. Magnesium hydride reacts with water to release hydrogen.
14. How is paragraph 4 mainly developed?
A. By drawing comparisons. B. By quoting sayings.
C. By providing examples. D. By explaining a theory.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Hydrogen: A Dream Fuel for Tomorrow
B. Powerpaste: A New Way to Store Hydrogen
C. Hydrogen Storage: Problems and Solutions
D. Hydrogen in Metals: A Possible Storage Way

47. 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 a sunny Saturday morning. Tom, a hiker, set out on a trail in the mountains. The path was narrow but easy to follow, winding through thick forests and over small streams. As he walked deeper into the mountains, he saw the sky gradually becoming cloudy.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew through the trees, making them shake hard. Tom realized a storm was approaching. He quickened his pace, looking for shelter. Just then, he saw a small, old cabin (小木屋) next to the trail. Its roof was partly damaged, but it was better than nothing. Tom rushed inside and started to look around. It was dirty and filled with spider webs, but in a corner, he found an old flashlight. He hoped it still worked.
As the storm hit, the rain poured down and thunder roared. Lightning flashed, lighting up the dark cabin. Tom sat on the floor, waiting for the storm to pass. After a long time, the rain finally died down. Tom decided to head back home before it got dark.
He stepped out of the cabin and started walking back along the trail. But the storm had caused several landslides, blocking parts of the path. Tom had to carefully climb over rocks and fallen trees. As he was walking, he heard a soft cry for help. It seemed to be coming from a nearby ravine (沟壑).
Tom stopped and listened carefully. The cry came again, more desperate this time. He knew he had to find out where it was coming from. He tied a rope he had brought to a strong tree near the edge of the ravine and slowly went down, using the flashlight to light his way.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;

As he reached the bottom of the ravine, he saw a young girl hiding under a rock.

The narrow old bookstore had stood on the corner for forty years. Lisa passed it every day on her way home from school, yet she never stepped inside. She preferred e-books, believing physical books took up too much space and lacked convenience. One rainy afternoon, dark clouds rolled in suddenly and heavy rain poured down without warning, forcing her to run into the small shop.
The shop was filled with the smell of aged paper. Tall wooden bookshelves reached toward the ceiling, packed tightly with books from different periods. Light came in softly through the windows, creating a peaceful atmosphere. An elderly man ran the store alone. Instead of greeting her warmly, he just nodded and returned to sorting piles of books. Lisa wandered casually, not planning to buy anything. She pulled a worn travel journal from the shelf, whose former owner had filled the pages with notes, small sketches (草图) and personal feelings about journeys across the country.
Curious, Lisa started a short conversation with the owner. He told her that many second-hand books carried hidden stories left by previous readers. He refused several high offers from property developers who hoped to turn the site into a popular coffee shop. To Lisa’s surprise, he did not earn much money from the business. When she asked why he kept operating the store, he said he viewed it as a bridge connecting different strangers across time.
Lisa left the bookstore with that travel journal. In the following weeks, she often returned to the shop after school. Gradually, she realized e-books offered quick reading, but second-hand printed books held unique warmth. Months later, she began bringing her own used books to share with other readers visiting the shop. She came to understand that value did not just lie in information itself, but in the human connections carried together with it.

A. To buy a travel journal. B. To get out of the rain.
C. To enjoy its special smell. D. To have a chat with its owner.
5. What does paragraph 3 say about the bookstore owner?
A. He aims to make big profits.
B. He enjoys collecting various sketches.

D
On paper, hydrogen (氢气) looks like a dream fuel. In practice, things are more difficult. Storing meaningful quantities of hydrogen gas requires pressing it several hundred times. Transforming it into a liquid state is another option, but one that requires cooling the stuff to -253℃. Either process requires rugged containers. Over time, hydrogen gas can pass slowly into metals, weakening them and potentially causing damage. Therefore, containers must be built from special materials designed to avoid this breakdown.
Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute led by Marcus Vogt think that supplying hydrogen in paste form (糊状) offers a way around some of its limitations. They have been experimenting with a chemical mixture that can be put into a container and then made to give off its hydrogen on demand.
Their invention, which they nickname “powerpaste”, looks like toothpaste. Its main part is magnesium hydride, a mixture that when introduced to water, reacts with it to form hydrogen and magnesium hydroxide. The escaped hydrogen can then be sent into a fuel container, where it reacts with oxygen from the air to produce electric power. The magnesium hydroxide waste is emptied from the reactor automatically.
Dr Vogt’s invention offers several advantages over batteries, petrol and more traditional ways of handling hydrogen. One is that it can store more energy per litre and per kilogram than batteries or petrol. A second is ease of refilling, which is simply a matter of replacing an empty container of paste with a full one, and adding water, which is stored in a separate tank. A third advantage is that, unlike a battery, the paste does not gradually lose its stored energy if it is left on the shelf. Moreover, the paste itself is harmless, and so are the reaction’s by-products.
But there are still more to work through. Magnesium hydride reacts only slowly with water. To address this, Dr Vogt and his team have found a chemical additive that greatly speeds up the reaction. They have also found a way to ensure that the reaction can be controlled to supply only as much hydrogen as is needed at any given moment.
12. Which of the following best explains “rugged” underlined in paragraph 1?
A. Small. B. Weak. C. Tough. D. Huge.
13. What can we know about the invention according to paragraph 3?
A. Water and electricity are necessary in the process.
B. The remaining waste needs removing with extra help.
C. Several chemical reactions occur in the same container.
D. Magnesium hydride reacts with water to release hydrogen.
14. How is paragraph 4 mainly developed?
A. By drawing comparisons. B. By quoting sayings.
C. By providing examples. D. By explaining a theory.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Hydrogen: A Dream Fuel for Tomorrow
B. Powerpaste: A New Way to Store Hydrogen
C. Hydrogen Storage: Problems and Solutions
D. Hydrogen in Metals: A Possible Storage Way
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了科研人员研发出名为“powerpaste(动力膏)”的氢能储存新技术,阐述其工作原理、优点以及技术难题和解决方式。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“Either process requires rugged containers. Over time, hydrogen gas can pass slowly into metals, weakening them and potentially causing damage.(这两种工艺都需要rugged容器。久而久之,氢气会慢慢渗入金属,使其强度降低并有可能造成损坏)”可知,储存氢气条件苛刻,容器必须结实牢固,rugged词义与tough(坚固的)接近。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Its main part is magnesium hydride, a mixture that when introduced to water, reacts with it to form hydrogen and magnesium hydroxide.(它的主要成分是氢化镁,这种混合物遇水就会与之发生反应,生成氢气和氢氧化镁)”可知,氢化镁和水发生反应,释放出氢气。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Dr Vogt’s invention offers several advantages over batteries, petrol and more traditional ways of handling hydrogen.(Vogt博士的发明相较于电池、汽油以及更传统的氢气处理方式具备多项优势)”并结合下文内容可知,本段主要把动力膏同电池、汽油、传统储氢方式进行对比来展开论述。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第二段“Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute led by Marcus Vogt think that supplying hydrogen in paste form (糊状) offers a way around some of its limitations.(由Marcus Vogt带领的弗劳恩霍夫研究所的研究人员认为,以糊状形式供给氢气提供了一种方式来规避其部分局限)”以及第三段“Their invention, which they nickname “powerpaste”, looks like toothpaste.(他们这项昵称为“动力膏”的发明,外形如同牙膏)”可知,全文核心介绍动力膏这一新型储氢方式。B项“Powerpaste: A New Way to Store Hydrogen(动力膏:一种储存氢气的新方法)”适合作本文标题。

Early Morning Awakening and Your Mood
A number of people wake up time and time again in the early hours from 2 to 4 o’clock in the morning. They find it hard to fall asleep once more. This situation, named early morning awakening, is surprisingly widespread. ____16____ It is not just a small sleep trouble, but a possible warning sign of mental or physical health problems.
Experts divide early morning awakening into two different types. ____17____ If you feel energetic and stay in a good mood all day after waking up early, you do not need to worry. However, if you feel tired and low-spirited every day, your sleep cycle has been broken. Long-term mental pressure is the leading cause of this uncomfortable situation.
____18____ The chemical serotonin (血清素) in our brain controls sleep quality and mood. Stress and depression will cut down its production. Without enough serotonin, people cannot stay in deep sleep and tend to wake up hours ahead of their usual time. Medical experts also point out that early waking is a typical sign of depression.
It is necessary to tell daily low spirits apart from serious depression. Short-term unhappiness won’t stop you from finishing daily work or social activities. ____19____ They lose concentration, refuse to meet others, and even consider simple tasks tiring.
Luckily, several practical ways can improve your sleep and lift your mood effectively. Take proper outdoor exercise regularly, get more sunlight in the afternoon, and keep a fixed sleep timetable. ____20____ These small changes can greatly reduce negative feelings and help you sleep through the whole night.
A. Most teenagers suffer from serious sleeping problems.
B. Not all cases of early waking are harmful to our health.
C. However, depression makes daily life hard for its sufferers.
D. Why does such bad mood lead to early morning awakening?

【答案】范文
Is Space Exploration Worth It?
Recently, our class held a heated debate on whether space exploration is worth it. While some argue that the money should solve Earth’s immediate problems, I believe it is a worthwhile investment for mankind.
Firstly, space exploration has promoted technological improvements that benefit us all. Many everyday products were originally developed for space missions. Secondly, as Earth’s resources are limited, finding other planets suitable for human life is necessary for our long-term survival.
In closing, space exploration is not a waste of money but an investment in our future. Therefore, it should continue so as to provide better solutions to people’s problems.

47. 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 a sunny Saturday morning. Tom, a hiker, set out on a trail in the mountains. The path was narrow but easy to follow, winding through thick forests and over small streams. As he walked deeper into the mountains, he saw the sky gradually becoming cloudy.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew through the trees, making them shake hard. Tom realized a storm was approaching. He quickened his pace, looking for shelter. Just then, he saw a small, old cabin (小木屋) next to the trail. Its roof was partly damaged, but it was better than nothing. Tom rushed inside and started to look around. It was dirty and filled with spider webs, but in a corner, he found an old flashlight. He hoped it still worked.
As the storm hit, the rain poured down and thunder roared. Lightning flashed, lighting up the dark cabin. Tom sat on the floor, waiting for the storm to pass. After a long time, the rain finally died down. Tom decided to head back home before it got dark.
He stepped out of the cabin and started walking back along the trail. But the storm had caused several landslides, blocking parts of the path. Tom had to carefully climb over rocks and fallen trees. As he was walking, he heard a soft cry for help. It seemed to be coming from a nearby ravine (沟壑).
Tom stopped and listened carefully. The cry came again, more desperate this time. He knew he had to find out where it was coming from. He tied a rope he had brought to a strong tree near the edge of the ravine and slowly went down, using the flashlight to light his way.

【答案】范文
As he reached the bottom of the ravine, he saw a young girl hiding under a rock. A wave of relief washed over Tom’s heart the moment he spotted the trembling figure. Her wet clothes stuck to her thin body, and her pale face was covered with tears and mud. She was shaking all over, too scared to speak. “Don’t be afraid. I’m here to help,” Tom whispered, kneeling down beside her and gently patting her shoulder. The girl, whose name was Lily, told him in a broken voice that she had lost her way when the storm struck and had been trapped there for hours.
Without a second thought, Tom decided to save the girl. He tied the rope firmly around her waist and began the slow, dangerous climb. The slippery rocks and howling wind made every step a struggle, but Tom refused to give up. After what felt like a century, they finally reached the trail. Tom carried Lily on his back until they reached the foot of the mountain, where her anxious parents were waiting. Tears of gratitude streamed down their faces as they embraced their daughter. A simple act of kindness, as Tom showed that day, can light up someone’s darkest moment and change a life forever.
