Whenever I think of Ms. Anita Moore, I always smile and feel fortunate to have her as my teacher. All of her students knew she loved being a teacher. Her classroom was always a safe place where we were encouraged to share, think, and express ourselves.
One of the memories that always stuck with me was a reading class when Ms. Moore read a story aloud and started to cry. The main character in the story reminded her of her grandmother. She paused to share about her relationship with her grandmother and made the connection as to how that relationship helped understand the story.
Ms. Moore tried her best to make a connection with each student in her classroom. She knew what we liked and used that information to bring our interests into the classroom. That is one of the reasons why Ms. Moore will always be my favorite teacher. She brought various types of books to our classroom and allowed us to take them home. It was she that helped my love for reading grow.
Ms. Moore also went beyond classroom instruction. She decided that our school should have a choir and that all of her students should audition (试演). Without her, I would never have taken part in this type of after-school activity. Once it was time for the annual 5th grade weekend camping trip, my parents refused to let me attend. Ms. Moore came to my home to persuade (说服) them. Although I was still not allowed to go, it was amazing to me that a teacher would visit my home to help me be part of a school tradition with my classmates.
Ms. Moore was a wonderful example of a caring teacher. From her, I’ve learned to make connections with students and look for ways to help them learn and feel successful.
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者最敬爱的老师Ms. Moore的事迹。

The main character in the story reminded her of her grandmother.(让我印象深刻的记忆之一是在一次阅读课上,Ms. Moore大声朗读了一个故事,然后哭了起来。故事中的主人公使她想起了她的祖母)”可知,Ms. Moore在朗读时因为想到了自己的祖母而伤感哭泣。故选C。
25. What can we learn about Ms. Moore from Paragraph 3?
A. She was good at writing books.
B. She inspired the writer’s love for reading.
C. She donated many books to poor students.
D. She was the favorite teacher of the whole class.
【答案】B

In a big win for the planet, renewable energy passed coal to become the world’s main source of electricity in the first half of this year, according to new data from the global energy think tank Ember.
Electricity demand continues to rise worldwide. Despite this, the strong growth of solar and wind energy not only met the increased demand but also contributed to a small drop in coal and gas use, according to the BBC. In the first half of the year, solar power made up most of the growth, meeting 83 percent of the rise in electricity demand. Other renewables, such as wind power also grew by more than 7 percent.
Among the countries that contributed to this shift, China and India were the main drivers of growth, according to the Ember report. It shows that in the first half of this year, China alone added more renewable energy than the rest of the world combined, leading to a 2percent fall in its use of fossil fuels (化石燃料). Over the same period, renewable energy in India grew three times faster than electricity demand, causing its coal and gas use to drop by3.1 percent and 34 percent.
Developed regions like the US and the European Union (EU), however, saw the opposite happen. In the US, demand for electricity grew faster than the supply of clean energy, leading to greater use of fossil fuels. And in the EU, months of weak wind and water power led to a rise in coal and gas use, as reported by the BBC.
Lower-income countries produced the most solar energy—58 percent of the total, according to the BBC. This is mainly due to big price cuts, which made solar power more affordable. For example, in 2024, Pakistan bought solar panels that could produce twice as much power as the year before. African countries are also seeing a solar boom, with panel imports rising 60 percent year on year.
This achievement is seen by experts as an important turning point. Ember senior analyst Malgorzata Wiatros-Motyka told the BBC that it “marks the beginning of a shift where clean power is keeping pace with demand growth”.
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。介绍了全球能源智库Ember新数据显示,今年上半年可再生能源超越煤炭成为世界主要电力来源。太阳能和风能强劲增长,中国和印度为主要推动力,低收入国家太阳能产量高,专家认为这是重要转折点。
28. What made renewable energy become the world’s major source of electricity this year?
A. A sharp drop in global electricity demand.
B. The strong growth of solar and wind energy.
C. A complete stop of coal use worldwide.
D. The decrease in the price of fossil fuels.
【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段“Despite this, the strong growth of solar and wind energy not only met the increased demand but also contributed to a small drop in coal and gas use, according to the BBC (尽管如此,据英国广播公司报道,太阳能和风能的强劲增长不仅满足了增加的需求,还促使煤炭和天然气的使用量略有下降)”可知,太阳能和风能的强劲增长使可再生能源成为今年世界主要电力来源。故选B项。
29. What does the underlined word “boom” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. A rapid increase.
B. A slow change.
C. A complete stop.
D. A sudden decrease.
【答案】A
【解析】词句猜测题。根据第五段“For example, in 2024, Pakistan bought solar panels that could produce twice as much power as the year before. African countries are also seeing a solar …, with panel imports rising 60 percent year on year. (例如,2024年,巴基斯坦购买的太阳能电池板的发电量是前一年的两倍。非洲国家也出现了太阳能……,电池板进口量同比增长60%。)”可知,非洲国家太阳能电池板进口量同比增长60%,说明太阳能发展迅速,可推理出“boom”意思是“快速增长”,与A项“A rapid increase.(快速增长)”意思一致。故选A项。
30. What is Malgorzata Wiatros-Motyka’s attitude towards the renewable energy?
A. Positive.
B. Doubtful.

D. Critical.
【答案】A
【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ember senior analyst Malgorzata Wiatros - Motyka told the BBC that it “marks the beginning of a shift where clean power is keeping pace with demand growth” (Ember高级分析师Malgorzata Wiatros-Motyka告诉英国广播公司,这“标志着清洁能源与需求增长同步的转变开始”。)”可知,Malgorzata Wiatros-Motyka认为这是一个重要的转折点,标志着清洁能源与需求增长同步的转变开始,由此可推知,她对可再生能源的态度是积极的。故选A项。
31. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The demand of electricity use continues to rise worldwide.
B. The use of renewable energy grows faster around the world.
C. renewable energy and coal is the world’s main source of electricity.
D. renewable energy provides more electricity than coal does worldwide.
【答案】D
【解析】主旨大意题。根据第一段“In a big win for the planet, renewable energy passed coal to become the world’s main source of electricity in the first half of this year, according to new data from the global energy think tank Ember. (全球能源智库Ember的新数据显示,今年上半年,可再生能源超过煤炭,成为世界主要电力来源,这对地球来说是一大胜利)”、第二段“Despite this, the strong growth of solar and wind energy not only met the increased demand but also contributed to a small drop in coal and gas use, according to the BBC (尽管如此,据英国广播公司报道,太阳能和风能的强劲增长不仅满足了增加的需求,还促使煤炭和天然气的使用量略有下降)”、第五段“For example, in 2024, Pakistan bought solar panels that could produce twice as much power as the year before (例如,2024年,巴基斯坦购买的太阳能电池板的发电量是前一年的两倍)”以及最后一段“Ember senior analyst Malgorzata Wiatros - Motyka told the BBC that it “marks the beginning of a shift where clean power is keeping pace with demand growth” (Ember高级分析师Malgorzata Wiatros - Motyka告诉英国广播公司,这“标志着清洁能源与需求增长同步的转变开始”。)”可知,文章主要讲述了可再生能源超过煤炭成为世界主要电力来源,所以D项“renewable energy provides more electricity than coal does worldwide(全球可再生能源提供的电力比煤炭多)”是文章主旨。故选D项。

Getting into arguments, whether with family or strangers online, can feel like debating with a wall. We are probably all guilty of thinking we’re right, even if we don’t have all the facts. This phenomenon called the “illusion of information adequacy” is detailed in a recent psychology study.
“Interpersonal conflict is on the rise, driving increases in anger, anxiety and stress,” said Angus Fletcher, a neurophysiologist at the Ohio State University. “We wanted to look into those misunderstandings and see if they could be reduced.”
Fletcher’s team surveyed 1,261 Americans online.Participants were divided into groups and given articles about a fictional factory. One group read only reasons for the factory to merge (合并) with another factory, another only reasons for staying separate, and a Control group read all the arguments.
They found that the majority of the groups who only read the pro- or anti-merging arguments believed they had enough information to make a good decision, and would follow the article’s recommendation, while about 55 and 45 percent of the control group recommended the factories merge or separate. The participants with the one-sided information also assumed that others would make the same decision they did.
The team calls this belief the illusion of information adequacy, as Fletcher describes it, “The less our brain knows, the more confident it is that it knows all it needs.” These findings add to research on naive realism, the belief that one’s subjective understanding is objective truth.
While naive realism studies focus on different understandings of the same situation, Fletcher’s research shows people may share the same understanding, if given sufficient information.When the participants from the one-sided groups were asked to read all the arguments, some would change their minds. The mix of opinions was comparable to the control group - about 55 to 45 percent.
“One of the best ways to fight the illusion of information adequacy when disagreeing with someone is to stop and ask, “Is there something I’m missing that would help me see their points better?’ This can help avoid unnecessary interpersonal conflict, allowing us to focus on working through key differences between ourselves and others,” said Fletcher.
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了俄亥俄州立大学的神经生理学家安格斯・弗莱彻(Angus Fletcher)的一项心理学研究,研究发现人们存在“信息充足的错觉”这一现象,即大脑知道的越少,就越自信自己知道了所有需要知道的东西,同时研究还表明当人们得到足够的信息时,可能会有相同的理解,并且弗莱彻给出了应对“信息充足的错觉”的建议。
32. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The academic background of Angus Fletcher.
B. The cause and effect of interpersonal conflicts.
C. The importance of reducing misunderstandings.
D. The significance and purpose of Fletcher’s study.
【答案】D
【解析】主旨大意题。根据第二段““Interpersonal conflict is on the rise, driving increases in anger, anxiety and stress,” said Angus Fletcher, a neurophysiologist at the Ohio State University. “We wanted to look into those misunderstandings and see if they could be reduced.”(俄亥俄州立大学的神经生理学家安格斯・弗莱彻说:“人际冲突在增加,导致愤怒、焦虑和压力加剧。我们想调查这些误解,看看是否可以减少它们)”可知,本段先说明了人际冲突增加带来的不良影响,这体现了研究的意义,接着表明了想要调查并减少误解的目的,可推理出第二段主要讲的是弗莱彻研究的意义和目的。故选D项。
33. What were all three groups asked to do during the study?
A. Defend their own views.
B. Discuss before making decisions.
C. Read the assigned arguments.
D. Recommend the best article.
【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段“Participants were divided into groups and given articles about a fictional factory. One group read only reasons for the factory to merge (合并) with another factory, another only reasons for staying separate, and a Control group read all the arguments. (参与者被分成小组,并得到了关于一个虚构工厂文章。一组只阅读了该工厂与另一家工厂合并的理由,另一组只阅读了保持独立的理由,而对照组阅读了所有的论点)”可知,这三组都被要求阅读关于虚构工厂的文章,但阅读的是所分配给的相关论点,故选C项。
34. What does Fletcher’s research find?
A. People with the same information make similar decisions.
B. People from the control group are better decision-makers.
C. People less informed are more likely to change their minds.
D. People with partial information overestimate their judgments.
【答案】D
【解析】推理判断题。根据第四段“They found that the majority of the groups who only read the pro- or anti-merging arguments believed they had enough information to make a good decision, and would follow the article’s recommendation, while about 55 and 45 percent of the control group recommended the factories merge or separate. The participants with the one-sided information also assumed that others would make the same decision they did. (他们发现,大多数只阅读了支持或反对合并论点的小组认为他们有足够的信息做出一个好的决定,并且会遵循文章的建议,而对照组中约55%和45%的人建议工厂合并或分开。拥有片面信息的参与者也认为其他人会做出和他们一样的决定)”以及第五段“The team calls this belief the illusion of information adequacy, as Fletcher describes it, “The less our brain knows, the more confident it is that it knows all it needs.”(研究小组称这种信念为“信息充足的错觉”,正如弗莱彻所描述的那样,“我们的大脑知道的越少,就越自信自己知道了所有需要知道的东西)”可知,只获得片面信息的人认为自己有足够信息做决定,还认为别人也会和自己做同样的决定,可推理出得到部分信息的人高估了自己的判断。故选D项。
35. What does Fletcher suggest people do when disagreeing with others?
A. Work through key differences together.
B. Check for extra facts to understand others.
C. Stop arguing to avoid interpersonal conflict.
D. Get more evidence to support their own point.
【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段““One of the best ways to fight the illusion of information adequacy when disagreeing with someone is to stop and ask, “Is there something I’m missing that would help me see their points better?’ This can help avoid unnecessary interpersonal conflict, allowing us to focus on working through key differences between ourselves and others,” said Fletcher. (弗莱彻说:“当与某人意见不一致时,对抗“信息充足的错觉”的最佳方法之一是停下来问问自己,“是否有我遗漏的东西可以帮助我更好地理解他们的观点?”这可以帮助避免不必要的人际冲突,让我们专注于解决自己和他人之间的关键分歧)”可知,当与他人意见不一致时,弗莱彻建议人们检查是否有额外的事实来理解他人。故选B项。

56. 【答案】Roughly 【解析】考查副词。句意:大约1800年前,传说一位名叫张仲景的医生在一个寒冷的冬天回到了他的家乡。此处修饰时间状语1800 years ago,应用副词roughly,意为“大约,大致”,句首单词首字母大写。故填Roughly。
57. 【答案】consisted 【解析】考查动词时态。句意:他选用的食材包括羊肉、草药和香料,这些食材的功效是驱寒。空处为主句谓语,根据上下文可知,此处描述过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时,consist的过去式为consisted。故填consisted。
58. 【答案】whose 【解析】考查定语从句。句意:他选用的食材包括羊肉、草药和香料,这些食材的功效是驱寒。此处为非限制性定语从句,先行词是mutton, herbs, and spices,与effects之间是所属关系,所以用关系代词whose引导,在从句中作定语,意为“……的”。故填whose。
59. 【答案】in 【解析】考查介词。句意:医生把它们包在面团里,把面片折叠起来,看起来像小耳朵。wrap...in...为固定搭配,意为“把……包在……里”。故填in。

61. 【答案】filled 【解析】考查非谓语动词。句意:这些简单的食物通常包着肉或蔬菜,其特点是有褶皱的小麦面团外皮。分析句子结构可知,句中已有谓语动词are distinguished,所以此处应用非谓语动词,Dumplings与fill之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词filled作状语。故填filled。
62. 【答案】who 【解析】考查定语从句。句意:传统上,在中国如果你想祝某人好运,你就包一个藏有硬币的饺子,吃到这个硬币的人在来年就会幸运。此处为定语从句,先行词是anyone,指人,在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词who引导。故填who。
63. 【答案】where 【解析】考查定语从句。句意:和全家人一起包饺子营造了一种热闹的氛围,在这种氛围中每个人都积极参与,欢声笑语,分享故事。此处为非限制性定语从句,先行词是atmosphere,在从句中作地点状语,相当于in the atmosphere,所以用关系副词where引导。故填where。
64. 【答案】a 【解析】考查冠词。句意:如今,饺子在中国北方大部分地区的冬季,尤其是春节期间,仍然是一道必吃的食物。此处表示泛指“一道必吃的食物”,must作名词时,意为“必须做(或看、买等)的事”,是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词a。故填a。
65. 【答案】warmth 【解析】考查名词。句意:没有言语能够准确描述中国人对饺子的喜爱,因为这种食物已经成为家与温暖的象征。根据and前的home可知,此处应用名词warmth,与home并列作of的宾语,warmth意为“温暖”,是不可数名词。故填warmth。
第三节 单句语法填空(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
66. To everyone’s ________ (amaze), it is the third time that Nie Haisheng has been into space.
66. 【答案】amazement 【解析】考查名词。句意:令所有人惊讶的是,这是聂海胜第三次进入太空。根据“to one’s+名词(令某人感到……的是)” 可知,此空应是名词amazement“惊奇”,作介词to的宾语。故填amazement。
67. It is clear the lazy student would never live up to his family’s ________ (expect).
67. 【答案】expectations 【解析】考查名词和固定搭配。句意:很明显,这个懒惰的学生永远不会达到他家人的期望。根据live up to可知,此处应用名词expectation“期望”,作宾语。live up to sb.’s expectations是固定搭配,意为“不辜负某人的期望”。故填expectations。
68. You need to make an________(apologize) to the teacher for being late for class.
68. 【答案】apology 【解析】考查名词。句意:你上课迟到了,应该向老师道歉。冠词后用可数名词单数,道歉的名词是apology。故填apology。
69. The living room of the flat ________ (measure) 4 meters by 6 meters suits me fine.
69. 【答案】measuring 【解析】考查现在分词。句意:这套四米乘六米的公寓的客厅很适合我。设空处修饰名词flat,和名词之间是主动关系,应用现在分词作定语,故填measuring。
70. Setting a deadline for each task can definitely help improve your ________ (efficient).
70. 【答案】efficiency 【解析】考查名词。句意:为每个任务设定一个最后期限肯定可以帮助提高你的效率。设空处为宾语,应用名词efficiency,不可数名词,故填efficiency。
71. Many species are disappearing at an ________(alarm) rate, urging us to reverse the damage at once and push forward with biodiversity.
71. 【答案】alarming 【解析】考查形容词。句意:许多物种正在以惊人的速度消失,这促使我们立即扭转这种破坏,推动生物多样性发展。分析句子结构,空白处在句子中作定语表示属性,使用形容词,根据下文“urging us to reverse the damage at once and push forward with biodiversity(促使我们立即扭转这种破坏,推动生物多样性发展)”可推理出空白处应填表示“令人吃惊的”含义的形容词,alarm为动词,其V-ing形式的形容词为:alarming,含义为“令人吃惊的”,符合句意,故填alarming。
72. The policy,meant to be ________ (benefit) to the farmers in full measure, turned out to be a great success.
72. 【答案】beneficial 【解析】考查形容词。句意:这项本来打算充分惠及农民的政策结果取得了巨大的成功。be动词后接形容词作表语,故填beneficial。
73. The ________ (flexible) of distance learning would be particularly suited to busy managers.
73. 【答案】flexibility 【解析】考查名词。句意:远程学习的灵活性特别适合忙碌的管理人员。空格处用名词作主语,flexible的名词是flexibility,意为“灵活性”,是不可数名词,故填flexibility。
74. They almost lost their lives in that ________ (adventure) voyage.
74. 【答案】adventurous 【解析】考查形容词。句意:在那次惊险的航行中,他们差点丧命。分析句子可知,空处是修饰voyage的定语,结合“almost lost their lives”可知,adventure的形容词形式adventurous符合题意,意为“刺激不断的,惊险的”,表示惊险的航行。故填adventurous。
75. Nothing is more ________ (stress) than going on a business trip with our boss.
75. 【答案】stressful 【解析】考查形容词。句意:没有什么比和老板一起出差更有压力的了。根据空格前的 is可知,空格处应填形容词比较级作表语,根据句意“有压力的”是stressful。故填stressful。

第二节(满分15分)
77. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Melissa was a single parent of three small children, working at a low-paid job. Money was always tight and she had to work hard to make ends meet. But they still felt blessed with a roof over their heads, food on the plate, clothes on their backs, and even if not a lot, always enough. Not knowing they were poor, the kids just thought their mother was strict in money management. Melissa was really glad about that.
Christmas was just around the corner. Although there wasn't budget for a lot of gifts, Melissa planned to please the kids with a family party. She prepared weeks ahead of time, asking one by one what the kids wanted for Christmas. Fortunately, Melissa managed to spare $ 80 dollars for the whole family to enjoy the fun of Christmas shopping.
The big day arrived. Melissa drove the kids to a nearby Walmart and gave each kid a twenty-dollar bill. “Now, my children,” she announced, “you have two hours to pick a gift in the supermarket. Then we will meet back at the gate.” Excited, the children scattered (四散) and rushed into the supermarket.
Melissa smiled. She looked at her own note and put it back into her pocket. Well, the children's shining faces were the most precious Christmas gift for her, weren't they? Sitting in the car, she waited patiently, imagining what gifts the kids would choose. She couldn't wait to share their joy.
Two hours later, the kids came back one by one. Tom and Tick rushed to their mother, eyes twinkling with excitement. They showed their gifts to Melissa and jumped with joy. The third child, Ginger, was obviously left behind, who dragged her feet to the car. To everyone's surprise, Ginger was empty-handed. Melissa said nothing, asked the kids to get into the car and headed home.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为80词左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Driving home, everyone was talking about their gifts in high spirits except the youngest daughter, Ginger.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【参考范文】
Driving home, everyone was talking about their gifts in high spirits except the youngest daughter, Ginger. Feeling puzzled, Melissa asked what she had bought for Christmas. “Nothing,” Ginger whispered, lowering her head. The other kids stopped talking and stared at her in surprise. Ginger explained that she had given her twenty-dollar bill to a man in rags begging outside the supermarket, who had nothing while they already had so much. Hearing this, Melissa felt a wave of pride sweep over her. “You did the right thing, darling,” she said softly.
【解析】【原文梳理】本文为记叙文,以第三人称讲述单亲妈妈梅丽莎在圣诞节带三个孩子去超市选购礼物的故事。情节链:家境拮据,梅丽莎仍挤出八十美元让孩子们享受购物之乐 → 两个哥哥兴高采烈,小女儿金吉尔却两手空空 → 回家途中全家沉浸在礼物的喜悦里,唯独金吉尔一言不发。【续写思路】依据开头语“Driving home, everyone was talking about their gifts in high spirits except the youngest daughter, Ginger.”,续写应围绕金吉尔的“反常”展开:先写家人的疑惑与追问,再揭示她把二十美元给了超市门外衣衫褴褛的乞讨者,最后落到母亲的感动与骄傲,并以“给予比拥有更可贵”收束,使故事首尾呼应、情感得到升华。范文中 lowering her head、stared at her in surprise 等细节描写与 a wave of pride sweep over her 的心理刻画,使人物鲜活、情感真挚。

Text 2
M: Your school report has arrived.
W: Oh my. Is that good or bad?
M: A mixed bag really. Mr. Riley says you’re clever. So does Mrs. Greenwood. Mr. Thompson says there’s room for improvement though.
Text 3
W: My dad wants to take us to Denmark for a holiday, but I’d rather go to France for the fashion.
M: Denmark is well known for its bacon. If you don’t want to go, I’ll happily take your place. I can have a bacon sandwich every day!
Text 4
M: A recent study showed that the city’s population is now 1.5 million.
W: That’s a 50% rise in just five years. I don’t think the city can continue to grow that fast.
Text 5
M: We need white paint for the ceilings. Plus one container of a light blue.
W: Whatever it takes, I simply can’t wait to finish and move in.
M: Have patience dear. Before we know it, we’ll be staying at the home of our dreams.
Text 6
M: Good afternoon. I’m here to open a new account.
W: We have standard and savings accounts. For larger amounts of money, we also have credit accounts.
M: I have an account for everyday purchase: What is the credit account?
W: People use this account for making bigger purchases, then paying them back over time.
M: That sounds perfect. I wanted to get a new car for my wife.
W: Great. We’ll just need your ID card and some proof of your current address to open the account.
M: Here’s my card. I’m afraid I don’t have anything to prove my address, though.

M: I bought this electric bike a week ago, and I want to return it. It can only go 30 kilometers an hour.
W: Yes, sir. That’s the fastest we’re allowed to make the batteries go. According to the law, electric bicycles cannot go past a quarter of the city’s legal road limit.
M: But my brother’s bike went 50 kilometers when I took it for a ride.
W: It is possible to adjust the limit yourself with basic mechanics skills — it can actually go up to 60 kilometers per hour. However, we would advise you not to do that, since it is both illegal and very unsafe.
Text 8
W: Welcome to the group. The most important part of the job is making sure the customers’ food orders are correct.
M: I know the fundamentals of customer service. I’ve worked in hotels for years.
W: Well, trust me. Working at a fast-paced French restaurant is quite different from hotel service.

W: I like your professional approach. In the kitchen, we have a coffee station. Have you made lattes before?
M: I’m familiar with making these drinks. Where’s the food preparation area?
W: Good, that will save us some time. We have some of the best chefs in the city. They’re working the stoves in the back.
M: Very impressive. How about tableware?
W: All the plates, bowls, and glasses are on these shelves.
M: I hope you can show me more as we start working. I’m excited to get started.

Detective Smith walked into the small apartment with his trusted friend doctor Johnson and looked at the crime scene. It was not a typical one, he noticed. Usually in crimes like this he would find broken glass, clothes on the floor and empty walls with some paintings. But inside this apartment he discovered that everything seemed to be in its proper place. That is, except for the woman crying in the kitchen. Doctor Johnson tried to check everyone’s health condition. Luckily it appeared no one had been hurt. The house owners said the locks weren’t broken and he had found no damage to the possessions. Detective Smith decided to speak with the lady in the kitchen, who was trying to feed her cat little heart shaped snacks. The cat wasn’t eating them though, which was strange because the woman said the cat usually loves them. Smith noticed that the cat looked quite sick he asked the woman what was missing and she replied that it was part of her grandmother’s necklace. She showed detective Smith a photo of the necklace. It was a piece of gold jewelry in the shape of a small heart. Suddenly something he had already observed that night flashed in his memory. He looked at his partner with a knowing smile. He said he knew who the thief was. It wasn’t a thief at all, at least not a traditional one.

Whenever I think of Ms. Anita Moore, I always smile and feel fortunate to have her as my teacher. All of her students knew she loved being a teacher. Her classroom was always a safe place where we were encouraged to share, think, and express ourselves.
One of the memories that always stuck with me was a reading class when Ms. Moore read a story aloud and started to cry. The main character in the story reminded her of her grandmother. She paused to share about her relationship with her grandmother and made the connection as to how that relationship helped understand the story.
Ms. Moore tried her best to make a connection with each student in her classroom. She knew what we liked and used that information to bring our interests into the classroom. That is one of the reasons why Ms. Moore will always be my favorite teacher. She brought various types of books to our classroom and allowed us to take them home. It was she that helped my love for reading grow.
Ms. Moore also went beyond classroom instruction. She decided that our school should have a choir and that all of her students should audition (试演). Without her, I would never have taken part in this type of after-school activity. Once it was time for the annual 5th grade weekend camping trip, my parents refused to let me attend. Ms. Moore came to my home to persuade (说服) them. Although I was still not allowed to go, it was amazing to me that a teacher would visit my home to help me be part of a school tradition with my classmates.
Ms. Moore was a wonderful example of a caring teacher. From her, I’ve learned to make connections with students and look for ways to help them learn and feel successful.
24. Why did Ms. Moore cry in the reading class?
A. The story was too sad.
B. She was moved by the students.
C. She thought of her own grandmother.
D. She helped her students understand the story.
25. What can we learn about Ms. Moore from Paragraph 3?
A. She was good at writing books.
B. She inspired the writer’s love for reading.
C. She donated many books to poor students.
D. She was the favorite teacher of the whole class.
26. Which of the following words best describe Ms. Moore?
A. Responsible and caring.
B. Positive and independent.
C. Inspiring and strict.
D. Knowledgeable and confident.
27. What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage?
A. To express opinions on teaching literature.
B. To discuss how to become a caring teacher.
C. To introduce the classes and activities in her school.
D. To share her memory about her teacher, Ms. Anita Moore.

In a big win for the planet, renewable energy passed coal to become the world’s main source of electricity in the first half of this year, according to new data from the global energy think tank Ember.
Electricity demand continues to rise worldwide. Despite this, the strong growth of solar and wind energy not only met the increased demand but also contributed to a small drop in coal and gas use, according to the BBC. In the first half of the year, solar power made up most of the growth, meeting 83 percent of the rise in electricity demand. Other renewables, such as wind power also grew by more than 7 percent.
Among the countries that contributed to this shift, China and India were the main drivers of growth, according to the Ember report. It shows that in the first half of this year, China alone added more renewable energy than the rest of the world combined, leading to a 2percent fall in its use of fossil fuels (化石燃料). Over the same period, renewable energy in India grew three times faster than electricity demand, causing its coal and gas use to drop by3.1 percent and 34 percent.
Developed regions like the US and the European Union (EU), however, saw the opposite happen. In the US, demand for electricity grew faster than the supply of clean energy, leading to greater use of fossil fuels. And in the EU, months of weak wind and water power led to a rise in coal and gas use, as reported by the BBC.
Lower-income countries produced the most solar energy—58 percent of the total, according to the BBC. This is mainly due to big price cuts, which made solar power more affordable. For example, in 2024, Pakistan bought solar panels that could produce twice as much power as the year before. African countries are also seeing a solar boom, with panel imports rising 60 percent year on year.
This achievement is seen by experts as an important turning point. Ember senior analyst Malgorzata Wiatros-Motyka told the BBC that it “marks the beginning of a shift where clean power is keeping pace with demand growth”.
28. What made renewable energy become the world’s major source of electricity this year?
A. A sharp drop in global electricity demand.
B. The strong growth of solar and wind energy.
C. A complete stop of coal use worldwide.
D. The decrease in the price of fossil fuels.
29. What does the underlined word “boom” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. A rapid increase.
B. A slow change.
C. A complete stop.
D. A sudden decrease.
30. What is Malgorzata Wiatros-Motyka’s attitude towards the renewable energy?
A. Positive.
B. Doubtful.
C. Uninterested.
D. Critical.
31. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The demand of electricity use continues to rise worldwide.
B. The use of renewable energy grows faster around the world.
C. renewable energy and coal is the world’s main source of electricity.
D. renewable energy provides more electricity than coal does worldwide.
D
Getting into arguments, whether with family or strangers online, can feel like debating with a wall. We are probably all guilty of thinking we’re right, even if we don’t have all the facts. This phenomenon called the “illusion of information adequacy” is detailed in a recent psychology study.
“Interpersonal conflict is on the rise, driving increases in anger, anxiety and stress,” said Angus Fletcher, a neurophysiologist at the Ohio State University. “We wanted to look into those misunderstandings and see if they could be reduced.”
Fletcher’s team surveyed 1,261 Americans online.Participants were divided into groups and given articles about a fictional factory. One group read only reasons for the factory to merge (合并) with another factory, another only reasons for staying separate, and a Control group read all the arguments.
They found that the majority of the groups who only read the pro- or anti-merging arguments believed they had enough information to make a good decision, and would follow the article’s recommendation, while about 55 and 45 percent of the control group recommended the factories merge or separate. The participants with the one-sided information also assumed that others would make the same decision they did.
The team calls this belief the illusion of information adequacy, as Fletcher describes it, “The less our brain knows, the more confident it is that it knows all it needs.” These findings add to research on naive realism, the belief that one’s subjective understanding is objective truth.
While naive realism studies focus on different understandings of the same situation, Fletcher’s research shows people may share the same understanding, if given sufficient information.When the participants from the one-sided groups were asked to read all the arguments, some would change their minds. The mix of opinions was comparable to the control group - about 55 to 45 percent.
“One of the best ways to fight the illusion of information adequacy when disagreeing with someone is to stop and ask, “Is there something I’m missing that would help me see their points better?’ This can help avoid unnecessary interpersonal conflict, allowing us to focus on working through key differences between ourselves and others,” said Fletcher.
32. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The academic background of Angus Fletcher.
B. The cause and effect of interpersonal conflicts.

77. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Melissa was a single parent of three small children, working at a low-paid job. Money was always tight and she had to work hard to make ends meet. But they still felt blessed with a roof over their heads, food on the plate, clothes on their backs, and even if not a lot, always enough. Not knowing they were poor, the kids just thought their mother was strict in money management. Melissa was really glad about that.
Christmas was just around the corner. Although there wasn't budget for a lot of gifts, Melissa planned to please the kids with a family party. She prepared weeks ahead of time, asking one by one what the kids wanted for Christmas. Fortunately, Melissa managed to spare $ 80 dollars for the whole family to enjoy the fun of Christmas shopping.
The big day arrived. Melissa drove the kids to a nearby Walmart and gave each kid a twenty-dollar bill. “Now, my children,” she announced, “you have two hours to pick a gift in the supermarket. Then we will meet back at the gate.” Excited, the children scattered (四散) and rushed into the supermarket.
Melissa smiled. She looked at her own note and put it back into her pocket. Well, the children's shining faces were the most precious Christmas gift for her, weren't they? Sitting in the car, she waited patiently, imagining what gifts the kids would choose. She couldn't wait to share their joy.
Two hours later, the kids came back one by one. Tom and Tick rushed to their mother, eyes twinkling with excitement. They showed their gifts to Melissa and jumped with joy. The third child, Ginger, was obviously left behind, who dragged her feet to the car. To everyone's surprise, Ginger was empty-handed. Melissa said nothing, asked the kids to get into the car and headed home.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为80词左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Driving home, everyone was talking about their gifts in high spirits except the youngest daughter, Ginger.
