You should apply if you really want to go to that college or if you're not quite sure what living there would be like.Applying takes time,so don't do it unless you're seriously considering the school-that time could be better spent on your college applications and internships().

His journey began in childhood,drawing imaginary worlds on his bedroom walls in Nelson.Thomas,as a child,longed for a world where nature ruled.His map represents the "ideal planet that I wanted,"Thomas said."I would see all the houses,and imagine what it was like before any humans showed up."After years working as a chef and musician,a chance request to decorate an old fridge in Montreal relighted his passion for cartography(制图学)，launching an extraordinary career. Thomas's first major project,a massive map of North America,took up five years of his life. Working evenings after teaching jobs,he frequently redrew sections as his skills improved."These represent real homes,not abstract art,"he stresses,explaining his thorough approach.The completed work earned recognition from National Geographic and The New York Times.Retired cartographer Tom Patterson praises its uniqueness:no digital tools were used,just pencil and paper. During the 2020 lockdowns,Thomas started his masterpiece:"Wild World."Three years,about 2,602 working hours and 1,642 animal species later,"Wild World"is a hand-drawn map of our planet that both inspires and celebrates wonder.For three years,he carefully drew animals in their natural habitats using colored pencils and a magnifying glass ()The project,originally planned for six months,became an all-consuming labor of love that he considers his finest work. Now a full-time artist,Thomas continues to push boundaries in hand-drawn cartography.From elementary schools to Stanford University,he shares his unique vision."Every map tells two stories,"he says,"the geography we see and the passion that brings it to life." 24.What inspired Thomas to return to mapmaking? A.An opportunity to decorate a fridge. B.An offer from National Geographic. C.A joumey in his childhood. D.His interest in cartography. 25.How did Thomas work on his first project? A.He worked mainly during the day. B.He kept working on it to improve. C.He used digital tools to save time. D.He followed others'instructions. 第3页/供8页 26.Which statement best describes Thomas and his map"Wild World"? A.He sees it as a rough draft for bigger ideas. B.He feels proud and emotionally connected to it. C.He regrets spending too much time on it. D.He believes it deserves more public attention. 27.What does Thomas's experience show? A.Education inspires creativity. B.Art shows truth. C.Passion fuels achievement. D.Tools limit art. C People worldwide are living longer.Today,for the first time in history,most people can expect to live into their sixties and beyond.By 2050,the world's population aged 60 years and older is expected to total 2 billion,up from 900 million in 2015.Today,125 million people are aged 80 years or older.By 2050,there will be almost this many (120 million)living in China alone,and 434 million people in this age group worldwide. The pace of population ageing around the world is also increasing greatly.France had almost 150 years to adapt to a change from 10%to 20%in the proportion (of the population that was older than 60 years.However,places such as Brazil,China and India will have slightly more than 20 years to make the same adaptation. A longer life brings with it opportunities,not only for older people and their families,but also for societies as a whole.Additional years provide the chance to undertake new activities such as further education,a new career or a long ignored passion.Older people also contribute in many ways to their families and communities.Yet the extent of these opportunities and contributions depends heavily on one factor:health. There is,however,little evidence to suggest that older people today are experiencing their later years in better health than their parents.While rates of severe disability have declined (in high-income countries over the past 30 years,there has been no significant change in mild or moderate disability over the same period. If people can experience these extra years of life in good health and if they live in a supportive environment,their ability to do the things they value will be of little difference from that of a younger person.If these added years are affected by declines physically and mentally,the results for older people and for society are more negative. 28.What does the author want to tell in the first paragraph? A.The whole world is faced with the problem of ageing. B.Some countries witness people live longer than before. C.China has the highest rate of ageing population at present. D.By 2050,over half of the world's population is ageing. 29.What is the most important for the ageing society? A.The attitude of the older to life. B.The contributions the older make. C.The health of the older people. D.The activities the older take part in. 30.What is the author's attitude to the ageing world? A.Concerned. B.Objective. C.Negative. D.Astonished. 31.What's the author's statement about ageing based on? A.His own opinion. B.Some data. C.Causes and effects. D.Comparisons. 第4页/共8页 D When it comes to food waste,the statistics are shocking.Globally,one-third of all food produced is lost or wasted each year-1.3 billion tons of food that is still good to eat.In restaurants alone,a significant portion comes from ingredients(原料)routinely thrown away::vegetable peels(外皮)，fish bones,,and old bread.But a quiet change is now turning these "leftovers"into cooking treasures. At the center of this movement is "root-to-stem"cooking.Chefs in pioneering European restaurants have begun rethinking every part of an ingredient.Carrot peels become crispy (decorations,fish bones are made into rich soups,and leftover bread is turned into tasty flavorings.The practice is not merely creative-it cuts kitchen waste significantly while lowering food costs. A 2024 study in the Journal of Culinary Science tracked 50 high-end restaurants across five countries. Over six months,kitchens adopting root-to-stem methods cut down food waste by 38%on average.More notably,72%of surveyed customers expressed greater satisfaction,appreciating both the new dishes and the restaurants'environmental efforts. Yet problems exist.The study showed staff training as the single biggest problem,since making use of unconventional ingredients demands skills beyond traditional cooking.Some chefs also cited inconsistent supply of certain parts and longer preparation time.Nevertheless,customer demand for sustainable dining keeps rising,and industry experts predict waste-reduction practices will become standard. As one head chef put it,"We are not just cooking with leftovers.We are redefining what we consider valuable."The idea is spreading from Copenhagen to Tokyo,signaling a important change in the way people think-one that may ultimately reshape how the world views food itself. 32.How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph? A.By quoting an expert's opinion. B.By describing a cooking method. C.By comparing different food cultures. D.By presenting shocking global statistics. 33.What does the 2024 study in Paragraph 3 mainly show? A.Staff training is the biggest barrier. B.Customers prefer traditional dishes. C.Root-to-stem cooking reduces waste well. D.European restaurants are facing high costs. 34.What does the underlined word"cited"in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A.Quit. B.Mentioned. C.Lost. D.Mixed. 35.Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A.The High Cost of Fine Dining B.The History of Root-to-Stem Cooking C.A Quiet Revolution:Cooking with"Leftovers" D.A Creative Movement:Rethinking"Food Waste" 第二节七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 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。 Imagine the great challenge in front of you as a big rock.If you choose to give up,you work around the stone just to go around it.36 Below are some tips that can help you truly face the difficult choices in your life. 37 Great things never come easy.If you have big dreams,you're going to do big work to achieve them.It's okay to take time to figure out the best way to proceed,but it's not okay to walk away only because they're challenging. Remember that you are not alone.When we face difficult choices or events in our lives,we often forget that we are not the first,only or last to experience these.Everyone faces hard decisions.38 In some cases,they may even be able to offer you advice you wouldn't have thought of otherwise. 第5页/共8页 Figure out what you lack.No matter what the challenge you're facing,maybe there's a reason.If it's a job,why is it that you haven't got hired?Go back through the job listings and skills required and find what you don't have.39 Choose to see challenges as lessons.40 As the old saying goes,what doesn't kill me makes me stronger.When you go through something challenging,you learn from it,regardless of the outcome.

B.Remember that you have choices. C.We build character through hard times. D.Do something to push yourself closer to the "perfect candidate".

So when his mom announced that she had volunteered their family to adopt a rescue dog for two weeks, Leo thought she had lost her mind. "Just two weeks,"Mom said cheerfully."His name is Bear.He's a one-year-old mix,very gentle.The shelter is overcrowded,and they need temporary(临时的)homes..” "No,"Leo said flatly."You know I can't do this." But Mom had already made up her mind.The next afternoon,a small brown dog with floppy ( ears walked through their front door.He had big,dark eyes and a tail that never stopped moving.Bear took one look at Leo and his tail moved quickly from side to side.Leo took one look at Bear and climbed onto the sofa,pulling his feet up.His heart was racing. 第7页/共8页 For two days,Leo avoided Bear completely.He ate in his room.He left for school through the garage. He even started doing his homework upstairs just to stay away.He acted as if the dog didn't exist.Bear, however,seemed determined to change Leo's mind.Every time Leo sat on the sofa,Bear would lie down a few feet away,resting his head on his paws()and watching Leo with calm,patient eyes.He never barked.He never jumped.He just waited. On the third day,something happened.Leo came home from school feeling terrible.He had failed a math test that he had studied hard for-the one he had told his mom he was sure to do well on.He threw his backpack on the floor and slumped onto the sofa,burying his face in his hands.The living room was quiet except for the clock ticking on the wall. He didn't notice Bear get up.He didn't notice the soft footsteps.But then he felt something-a warm, wet nose gently pressing against his hand.Leo froze.The old fear rose in his chest-but something else rose with it. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150左右： (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Leo looked down and found Bear staring up at him with worried eyes. Two weeks later,the day came for Bear to go back to the shelter. 第8页/供8页
