In the heart of the Kanien’keha Nation (卡尼恩克哈部族) in Canada, McComber, a native language teacher reflected on a question raised by Maori (毛利) language advocate Sir Karetu: what was his dream for the future of his language?
Kanien’keha, the Mohawk language, is endangered, and for decades, McComber has worked hard to operate a native language school. At the turn of the century, as it encountered more barriers, McComber looked around the world for help and inspiration, and Karetu was the answer. “Don’t wait for money or approval; just do the work,” Karetu told him. It’s the same message Karetu carried with him decades ago, when te reo Maori, the Maori language, was also on the line.
In the early 1970s, young Maori advocates in New Zealand marched to the government, demanding Maori be taught in all public schools. In 1982, Dame Iritana Tawhiwhirangi established Kohanga Reo, an engaging language program where Maori was the only language taught, spoken and used both in the classroom and at home, and the courses focused on their history and culture. “Grandparents became teachers,” she says. “The difference-maker was that the Kohanga Reo was entirely community-led. Families raised the money to rent classroom spaces, and volunteers planned and taught classes.”
Translated in English as “language nest”, the Kohanga Reo model quickly became an important cultural export and inspired other minority communities worldwide. “Our parents ruled,” a student of McComber’s nest school says, “They wanted to teach us the beauty of our language, our culture, and who we are. And it has given me the confidence to speak and read with ease in both English and Kanien’keha.”
The model helped communities view the world through their ancestors’ eyes, ensuring the survival of their way of life. “It’s not just about language,” McComber can now answer that question. “It’s everything.”
24. Why did McComber turn to Karetu for help?
A. Karetu also spoke Kanien’keha. B. Karetu once faced a similar crisis.
C. He needed his financial support. D. He desired his tips on language learning.
25. What contributed to the success of Kohanga Reo?
A. Expansion of public schools. B. Flexibility of the courses.
C. Rule of the students’ parents. D. Support from the community.
26. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. The impact of the Kohanga Reo model. B. The importance of parents’ involvement.
C. The procedure for building the nest school. D. The case of a student finding his real identity.
27. By saying “It’s everything”, McComber suggests ______.
A. guaranteeing the survival of their own schools B. keeping their culture for future generations
C. purifying their unique minority language D. practicing the tradition of their ancestors
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. A 27. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要说明了莫霍克语Kanien’ keha已经濒临灭绝,为了保护这种语言McComber寻求社会的支持和帮助,建立了Kohanga Reo模式。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“At the turn of the century, as it encountered more barriers, McComber looked around the world for help and inspiration, and Karetu was the answer. “Don’t wait for money or approval; just do the work,” Karetu told him. It’s the same message Karetu carried with him decades ago, when te reo Maori, the Maori language, was also on the line.(在世纪之交,当它遇到更多的障碍时,麦康伯向世界各地寻求帮助和灵感,而卡雷图就是答案。“不要等待金钱或认可;做你该做的,”卡雷图告诉他。几十年前,当te reo Maori(毛利人的语言)也处于危险之中时,Karetu也带着同样的信息)”可知,McComber向Karetu寻求帮助是因为Karetu曾经面临过类似的危机。故选B。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段““Grandparents became teachers,” she says. “The difference-maker was that the Kohanga Reo was entirely community-led. Families raised the money to rent classroom spaces, and volunteers planned and taught classes.”(“祖父母成了老师,”她说。“造成差异的原因是,Kohanga Reo完全由社区主导。家庭集资租用教室空间,志愿者策划并教授课程。”)”可知,来自社会的支持促成了Kohanga Reo的成功。故选D。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Translated in English as “language nest”, the Kohanga Reo model quickly became an important cultural export and inspired other minority communities worldwide. “Our parents ruled,” a student of McComber’s nest school says, “They wanted to teach us the beauty of our language, our culture, and who we are. And it has given me the confidence to speak and read with ease in both English and Kanien’keha.”(Kohanga Reo模式在英语中被翻译为“语言之巢”,迅速成为一种重要的文化输出,并激励了世界各地的其他少数民族社区。“我们的父母说了算,”麦康伯所在学校的一名学生说,“他们想教我们语言之美、文化之美,以及我们是谁。它给了我信心,让我可以轻松地用英语和卡尼亚语说话和阅读。”)”可知,第4段主要讲了Kohanga Reo模式的影响。故选A。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The model helped communities view the world through their ancestors’ eyes, ensuring the survival of their way of life. “It’s not just about language,” McComber can now answer that question. “It’s everything.”(该模式帮助社区通过祖先的眼睛看世界,确保了他们的生活方式的生存。“这不仅仅是语言的问题,”McComber现在可以回答这个问题。“这一切。”)”可知,通过说“这就是一切”,McComber建议为后代保留他们的文化。故选B。
C
Somewhere in the sky, lightning is forming. Although the possibility of getting struck in your lifetime is roughly 1 in 12,000, a human does provide an attractive target for lightning bolts (闪电). Here’s what you should expect if you ever find yourself in the path of lightning.
A lot can happen in the three milliseconds it takes for a lightning bolt to course through your body. Lightning strikes may leave you with deep wounds, often accompanied with third degree burns. Your clothes might even be torn by the explosive force of the surrounding air being superheated to up to 27,700 ℃. Blood vessels (血管) exploding from the electric shock and heat often create something called a Lichtenberg figure on your skin. This is a pattern of scars (伤疤) that branches out across your body like a tree.
But it doesn’t end there. You might also be faced with a lifetime of neurological (神经系统的) conditions for reasons that scientists still don’t fully understand. It’s also possible that you will suffer from pain.
In some cases, however, a lightning strike can lead to strange super talents. In a blog post, University of Miami neuroscientist Berit Brogaard writes about an incident where a surgeon who was struck by lightning developed an urge to learn to play the piano. He began to compose music he had started hearing in his head since the strike. This type of phenomenon confuses scientists.
One theory that Brogaard says is that cell death caused by being struck by lightning could cause a one-time flooding of the brain with neurotransmitters (神经递质) that are released from the dying neurons (神经元). This causes a rewiring of neurons, providing access to areas of the brain that were previously inaccessible.
Cool as it would be, you shouldn’t count on lightning turning you into a genius in one flash. Most of its results are painful, and could stay with you for the rest of your life.

【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Blood vessels (血管) exploding from the electric shock and heat often create something called a Lichtenberg figure on your skin. This is a pattern of scars (伤疤) that branches out across your body like a tree.(血管因电击和高温而爆炸,通常会在你的皮肤上形成一种叫做利希滕贝格的形状。这是一种疤痕模式,像树一样在你的身体上分支。)”可知,被闪电袭击后,皮肤上出现树枝状疤痕是很典型的情况。故选D。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“One theory that Brogaard says is that cell death caused by being struck by lightning could cause a one-time flooding of the brain with neurotransmitters (神经递质) that are released from the dying neurons (神经元). This causes a rewiring of neurons, providing access to areas of the brain that were previously inaccessible.( Brogaard说,一种理论是,被闪电击中导致的细胞死亡可能会导致大脑中神经递质的一次性泛滥,这些神经递质是从垂死的神经元释放出来的。这会导致神经元的重新连接,从而进入以前无法进入的大脑区域。)”可知,这位外科医生被闪电击中后,他未探索的大脑区域被激活了。故选C。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段划线词This前文的内容“One theory that Brogaard says is that cell death caused by being struck by lightning could cause a one-time flooding of the brain with neurotransmitters (神经递质) that are released from the dying neurons (神经元).(Brogaard说,一种理论是,被闪电击中导致的细胞死亡可能会导致大脑中神经递质的一次性泛滥,这些神经递质是从垂死的神经元释放出来的。)”可知,This此处是代词,指代上文提到的a one-time flooding of the brain with neurotransmitters (神经递质),即大脑神经递质的泛滥。故选A。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Somewhere in the sky, lightning is forming. Although the possibility of getting struck in your lifetime is roughly 1 in 12,000, a human does provide an attractive target for lightning bolts (闪电). Here’s what you should expect if you ever find yourself in the path of lightning.(在天空的某个地方,闪电正在形成。虽然在你的一生中被击中的可能性大约是1/12000,但人类确实为闪电提供了一个有吸引力的目标。如果你发现自己处于闪电的路径上,你应该这样想。)”和最后一段“Cool as it would be, you shouldn’t count on lightning turning you into a genius in one flash. Most of its results are painful, and could stay with you for the rest of your life.(尽管这很酷,但你不应该指望闪电会在一瞬间把你变成天才。它的大部分结果都是痛苦的,可能会伴随你一生。)”可知,这篇文章主要介绍被闪电击中的后果。故选B。
D
No architectural form defines the 20th century better than the glass skyscraper. From Manhattan to Moscow, these glistening towers became both a practical solution for dense cities and a coveted symbol of progress. Even today, cities like Dubai and Shenzhen keep building glass facades at a rapid pace — but prominent architects and planners are now criticizing this material’s overuse, a debate that has gained urgency amid global efforts to combat climate change.
They question glass structures’ impact on public spaces: developers prioritize floor-to-ceiling windows (and the high rents they justify) for tenants, but what about the broader urban community? More pressingly, glass buildings are far from sustainable: they trap heat in summer and lose it in winter. Post-war glass technology and cheap air conditioning once made these flaws irrelevant, but rising energy costs (both financial and environmental) are shifting attitudes. Many cities have even started revising building codes to impose stricter energy efficiency standards, putting glass-heavy designs under greater scrutiny.
British architect Ken Shuttleworth — who designed London’s “Gherkin” using glass — now calls it a “symbol of energy-guzzling buildings.” With 40% of global energy consumption linked to buildings, he argues architects must prioritize efficiency. While glass technology (coating, double glazing) has improved, Shuttleworth believes it’s not enough: “The glass industry can’t push thermal performance further right now.”
This view is challenged by Bertrand Cazes of Glass for Europe, who cites innovations like building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) that generate solar energy. He insists architects can create low-carbon glass buildings by collaborating with industry experts, adding that modern glass products have come a long way in reducing environmental footprints when used strategically.
Critics also target glass’s aesthetic impact: reflected sunlight from one London skyscraper even melted parts of a nearby car. Architecture critic Justin Davidson notes that flat glass panels make buildings look monotonous, while architect Alan Ritchie argues thoughtful design (textures, shadow lines) can fix this — but warns against “cookie-cutter” glass boxes that homogenize cities, erasing the unique character of urban neighborhoods.
Notably, neither Shuttleworth nor Ritchie rejects glass entirely; they advocate restraint: combining glass with materials like metal or stone, and using it only where views or daylight matter. Shuttleworth’s recent project uses just 35% glass, pairing it with insulated panels to cut energy use. The goal, he says, is to balance daylight (critical for well-being) with context: “Covering entire buildings in glass, regardless of need, simply doesn’t make sense.” This middle ground is gaining traction, with more developers and designers embracing mixed-material facades as a way to blend functionality, sustainability, and aesthetic appeal.
32. What is the “thermal shortcoming” of glass mentioned in the text?
A. It blocks natural light
B. It is expensive to produce
C. It traps heat in summer and loses heat in winter
D. It is easily damaged
33. What divides Ken Shuttleworth and Bertrand Cazes?
A. Whether glass can be made more energy-efficient
B. Whether architects should use glass in landmark buildings
C. Whether glass skyscrapers are symbols of progress
D. Whether BIPV technology is practical
34. What is the suggested future direction for glass in architecture?
A. Replacing glass with other materials completely
B. Using glass only in small buildings
C. Combining glass with other materials and using it selectively
D. Increasing the use of glass for better views
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. The Rise of Glass Skyscrapers
B. Glass: A Symbol of Modern Cities
C. Is Glass Still an Innovative Building Material?
D. The End of Glass Architecture
【答案】32. C 33. A 34. C 35. C
【解析】
【导语】文章围绕玻璃是否仍是适配低碳时代的创新建筑材料展开讨论。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“More pressingly, glass buildings are far from sustainable: they trap heat in summer and lose it in winter.(更紧迫的是,玻璃建筑远达不到可持续的要求:它们夏天蓄热,冬天散失热量。)”可知,文中提到的玻璃的热学缺陷是夏季蓄热、冬季散失热量。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“While glass technology (coating, double glazing) has improved, Shuttleworth believes it’s not enough: “The glass industry can’t push thermal performance further right now.”(尽管玻璃技术(镀膜、双层玻璃)已经有所改进,但沙特尔沃思认为这还远远不够:“目前玻璃行业已经无法进一步提升热工性能。”)”和第四段“He insists architects can create low-carbon glass buildings by collaborating with industry experts, adding that modern glass products have come a long way in reducing environmental footprints when used strategically.(他坚持认为,建筑师可以通过与行业专家合作打造低碳玻璃建筑。他还补充道:如果合理规划使用,现代玻璃产品在降低环境足迹方面已经取得了长足进步。)”可知,肯・沙特尔沃思与贝特朗・卡泽斯的分歧点是玻璃能否做到更高能效。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Notably, neither Shuttleworth nor Ritchie rejects glass entirely; they advocate restraint: combining glass with materials like metal or stone, and using it only where views or daylight matter.(值得注意的是,沙特尔沃思和里奇都没有全盘否定玻璃;他们主张节制使用:将玻璃与金属、石材等材料搭配,并且只在视野或采光很重要的地方使用玻璃。)”可知,文中提出的玻璃在建筑领域未来的发展方向是将玻璃与其他材料结合,选择性使用玻璃。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Even today, cities like Dubai and Shenzhen keep building glass facades at a rapid pace — but prominent architects and planners are now criticizing this material’s overuse, a debate that has gained urgency amid global efforts to combat climate change.(即使在今天,迪拜、深圳等城市仍在快速建造玻璃幕墙,但知名建筑师和规划师如今批评这种材料被过度使用,在全球应对气候变化的背景下,这场争论变得愈发紧迫。)”以及后文正反双方围绕玻璃能耗、新技术、外观缺陷展开讨论,探讨玻璃建材是否还具备创新性。C 选项 “玻璃还是一种具有创新性的建筑材料吗?”为最佳标题。
第二节(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。
As the concept of emotional intelligence (EI) has gone global, we’ve watched professionals fail as they try to improve their emotional intelligence because they either don’t know where to focus their efforts or they haven’t understood how to improve these skills on a practical level. In our work consulting with companies and coaching leaders, we have found that if you’re looking to develop particular EI strengths, it helps to consider areas for improvement others have identified along with the goals you want to achieve, and then to actively build habits in those areas rather than simply relying on understanding them conceptually.
The first step is to get a sense of how your self-perception (how you see yourself) differs from your reputation (how others see you); ____36____. For example, most of us think that we’re good listeners, but very often that’s really not the case. Without this external reality check, it will be difficult for you to identify the ways that your actions affect your performance. Getting feedback from others can also provide proof of the necessity of shifting our behaviour and motivation to do so.
To give you the best sense of where the differences lie between your self-perception and reputation, you should use a 360-degree feedback assessment that takes into account the multiple facets of EI; ____37____. Secondly, when you get your feedback from an assessment, let that inform what you want to improve. But also consider what your goals are. When it comes to cultivating strengths in emotional intelligence, ____38____. Your emotional intelligence is so tied up in your sense of self that being intrinsically motivated to make the effort matters more when changing long-standing habits than it does when simply learning a skill.
That means the areas that you choose to actively work on should lie at the crossroads of the feedback you’ve gotten and the areas that are most important to your own aspirations; ____39____as you do the work of strengthening your emotional intelligence.
Once you’ve determined which EI skills you want to focus on, identify specific actions that you’ll take. If you’re working on becoming a better listener, for example, you might decide that when you’re conversing with someone you’ll take the time to pause, listen to what they have to say, and check that you understand before you reply. Keep it specific:____40____.
By starting to change your routine reactions, you’ll be well on your way to figuring out the old habits that aren’t serving you well and transforming them into new, improved ones that do.
A. you’re at a huge disadvantage if you’re only interested because others said you should be
B. bearing your goals in mind is so helpful to improve the positive impact of your current EI habits
C. you should also take every opportunity to practice the skill you are developing, no matter how small
D. understanding the impacts of your EI habits relative to your goals will keep you going over the long run
E. the key is to find one that guarantees no personal information of those giving you feedback will be leaked
F. how others see you will to some extent decide how you see others and help you become a good listener
G. this is true because we can be blind to how we express and read the emotional components of our interactions
【答案】36. G 37. E 38. A 39. D 40. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要探讨了提高情商的方法:了解自我认知与声誉之间的区别,明确目标,确定改变具体的行动。
【36题详解】
根据上文“The first step is to get a sense of how your self-perception (how you see yourself) differs from your reputation (how others see you);(第一步是弄清楚你的自我认知(你如何看待自己)和你的声誉(别人如何看待你)有何不同)”可知,提高情商第一步得弄清楚你对自己的看法和别人对你的看法有何不同。再结合后句“For example, most of us think that we’re good listeners, but very often that’s really not the case. Without this external reality check, it will be difficult for you to identify the ways that your actions affect your performance.(例如,我们大多数人都认为自己是好的倾听者,但事实往往并非如此。如果没有这种外部的现实检查,你就很难确定你的行为是如何影响你的表现的)”可知,其他人的看法会给我们提供一些好的反馈。G选项“this is true because we can be blind to how we express and read the emotional components of our interactions(这是真的,因为我们可能对我们如何表达和解读互动中的情感成分视而不见)”符合语境,下文是对选项的举例说明。故选G项。
【37题详解】
根据上文“To give you the best sense of where the differences lie between your self-perception and reputation, you should use a 360-degree feedback assessment that takes into account the multiple facets of EI;(为了让你更好地了解你的自我认知和声誉之间的差异,你应该使用考虑到情商的多个方面的360度反馈评估)”可知,了解差异的最佳方式是采用360°反馈评估。且空后内容为方法的第二步,由此推知,空处承接上文陈述在寻找反馈时的注意事项。E选项“the key is to find one that guarantees no personal information of those giving you feedback will be leaked(关键是要找到一个能保证给你反馈的人的个人信息不会泄露的人)”符合语境,故选E项。
【38题详解】
根据后文“Your emotional intelligence is so tied up in your sense of self that being intrinsically motivated to make the effort matters more when changing long-standing habits than it does when simply learning a skill.(你的情商与你的自我意识密切相关,所以在改变长期的习惯时,内在的动力更重要,而不仅仅是学习一项技能)”可知,内在的动力很重要,不能被其他人的言论影响。再结合上文上文“ When it comes to cultivating strengths in emotional intelligence(说到培养情商方面的优势)”可知,当提到培养情商时,如果因为别人的言论而去做一件事,就是处于劣势。A选项“you’re at a huge disadvantage if you’re only interested because others said you should be(如果你只是因为别人说你应该感兴趣,你就会处于极大的劣势)”符合语境。故选A项。
【39题详解】
根据上文“That means the areas that you choose to actively work on should lie at the crossroads of the feedback you’ve gotten and the areas thot are most important to your own aspirations; (这意味着你选择积极努力的领域应该处于你所获得的反馈和对你自己的理想最重要的领域的十字路口)”可知,我们要找准我们应该积极努力的区域。D选项“understanding the impacts of your EI habits relative to your goals will keep you going over the long run(了解你的情商习惯对你的目标的影响会让你在长期的发展中保持下去)”符合语境,故选D项。
【40题详解】
根据上文“If you’re working on becoming a better listener, for example, you might decide that when you’re conversing with someone you’ll take the time to pause, listen to what they have to say, and check that you understand before you reply. Keep it specific:(例如,如果你正在努力成为一个更好的倾听者,你可能会决定当你和别人交谈时,你会花时间停下来,听他们说什么,在回答之前检查你是否理解。具体一点)”可知,我们要花时间停下来认真听别人的话,下文应陈述具体应该怎么做。C选项“you should also take every opportunity to practice the skill you are developing, no matter how small(你也应该珍惜每一个练习你正在培养的技能的机会,无论多么小)”符合语境,故选C项。

【答案】Dear Jack,
Knowing that you are interested in group jogging among Chinese students, I’d like to share more information with you.
The group jogging in our school is a long-standing tradition that takes place before the first class, lasting about 20 minutes. With feet landing on the track steadily and heavily, each class shouts their slogans, voices full of spirit. Group jogging not only enhances physical fitness but also improves a sense of discipline and unity. In addition, it builds mental resilience and endurance, thus helping prepare students for the academic challenges ahead.
Hope you can come and see it in person one day.
Yours,
Li Hua

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。
One evening, Mike was sitting alone in his bedroom, feeling puzzled and discouraged. His mother had just sent him there and told him to reflect on his recent behaviour. What exactly did he do wrong? As he was still thinking, he heard a knock and then the door was opened. His mother came in and sat down next to him.
“Alright Mike, tell me, do you know what you did wrong?” Mike became more puzzled as he said, “That’s exactly what I have been trying to do. But no matter how hard I try, I can’t seem to think of anything that I may have done wrong.” His mother sighed (叹息).” “Now, now, Mike. Don’t you remember how you shouted at your best friend, and even your head teacher?” “No, that’s not what happened. You must have seen it wrong...” Mike answered quietly, trying to defend himself. “Oh, really? Because it looked like you were angry at something and were taking it out on someone else.”
Mike looked awkward at what his mother told him. Truth be told, when the school announced that there would be a school trip to the zoo on Friday, Mike could hardly sit still all week. He had never been to the zoo before, and the thought of seeing lions, giraffes, and elephants up close made him excited. He even packed his backpack a day earlier, stuffing it with snacks and a notebook to sketch animals.
But on Friday morning, it was raining heavily. “It’ll clear up,” he murmured. When Mike arrived at school, he heard that the trip to the zoo had been cancelled. Mike froze in disbelief. In class, Mrs. Green, the headteacher, tried to cheer everyone up with a group activity, but Mike couldn’t focus. When she asked him to join, he yelled, “What’s the point? This day’s already ruined!” His best friend, Tom, whispered, “It’s not her fault,” but Mike glared at him. “You think this is fine? I bet you don’t even care about the zoo!” he said sharply.
注意:
1. 续写词数为150左右;

He told everything to his mother.

The next morning, Mike hurried to school, anxious but determined.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version
He told everything to his mother. His mother, listening patiently with a smile, offered wisdom. She explained that it was natural for humans to get angry sometimes, but taking it out on others was really harmful to our personal relationships. Mike felt regretful and guilty, realizing that his behaviour had hurt the people he cared about. But he was at a loss what to do. “Apology is the first step. They care for you and they will forgive you,” His mother suggested. Nodding his head, Mike made up his mind to make things right.
The next morning, Mike hurried to school, anxious but determined. He began by going over to Tom. “I’ m terribly sorry for the way I behaved that day,” he said quietly but sincerely, looking his best friend in the eye. Tom was deeply touched by his frankness and honesty, so he forgave Mike without hesitation. The relaxation the first apology gave Mike filled him with confidence to find Mrs Green, who didn’t say much but smiled with relief and patted Mike on the shoulder. Mike felt he did the right thing, and for the first time in days, he felt a sense of peace.

In the heart of the Kanien’keha Nation (卡尼恩克哈部族) in Canada, McComber, a native language teacher reflected on a question raised by Maori (毛利) language advocate Sir Karetu: what was his dream for the future of his language?
Kanien’keha, the Mohawk language, is endangered, and for decades, McComber has worked hard to operate a native language school. At the turn of the century, as it encountered more barriers, McComber looked around the world for help and inspiration, and Karetu was the answer. “Don’t wait for money or approval; just do the work,” Karetu told him. It’s the same message Karetu carried with him decades ago, when te reo Maori, the Maori language, was also on the line.
In the early 1970s, young Maori advocates in New Zealand marched to the government, demanding Maori be taught in all public schools. In 1982, Dame Iritana Tawhiwhirangi established Kohanga Reo, an engaging language program where Maori was the only language taught, spoken and used both in the classroom and at home, and the courses focused on their history and culture. “Grandparents became teachers,” she says. “The difference-maker was that the Kohanga Reo was entirely community-led. Families raised the money to rent classroom spaces, and volunteers planned and taught classes.”
Translated in English as “language nest”, the Kohanga Reo model quickly became an important cultural export and inspired other minority communities worldwide. “Our parents ruled,” a student of McComber’s nest school says, “They wanted to teach us the beauty of our language, our culture, and who we are. And it has given me the confidence to speak and read with ease in both English and Kanien’keha.”
The model helped communities view the world through their ancestors’ eyes, ensuring the survival of their way of life. “It’s not just about language,” McComber can now answer that question. “It’s everything.”
24. Why did McComber turn to Karetu for help?
A. Karetu also spoke Kanien’keha. B. Karetu once faced a similar crisis.
C. He needed his financial support. D. He desired his tips on language learning.
25. What contributed to the success of Kohanga Reo?
A. Expansion of public schools. B. Flexibility of the courses.
C. Rule of the students’ parents. D. Support from the community.
26. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. The impact of the Kohanga Reo model. B. The importance of parents’ involvement.
C. The procedure for building the nest school. D. The case of a student finding his real identity.
27. By saying “It’s everything”, McComber suggests ______.
A. guaranteeing the survival of their own schools B. keeping their culture for future generations
C. purifying their unique minority language D. practicing the tradition of their ancestors

Somewhere in the sky, lightning is forming. Although the possibility of getting struck in your lifetime is roughly 1 in 12,000, a human does provide an attractive target for lightning bolts (闪电). Here’s what you should expect if you ever find yourself in the path of lightning.
A lot can happen in the three milliseconds it takes for a lightning bolt to course through your body. Lightning strikes may leave you with deep wounds, often accompanied with third degree burns. Your clothes might even be torn by the explosive force of the surrounding air being superheated to up to 27,700 ℃. Blood vessels (血管) exploding from the electric shock and heat often create something called a Lichtenberg figure on your skin. This is a pattern of scars (伤疤) that branches out across your body like a tree.
But it doesn’t end there. You might also be faced with a lifetime of neurological (神经系统的) conditions for reasons that scientists still don’t fully understand. It’s also possible that you will suffer from pain.
In some cases, however, a lightning strike can lead to strange super talents. In a blog post, University of Miami neuroscientist Berit Brogaard writes about an incident where a surgeon who was struck by lightning developed an urge to learn to play the piano. He began to compose music he had started hearing in his head since the strike. This type of phenomenon confuses scientists.
One theory that Brogaard says is that cell death caused by being struck by lightning could cause a one-time flooding of the brain with neurotransmitters (神经递质) that are released from the dying neurons (神经元). This causes a rewiring of neurons, providing access to areas of the brain that were previously inaccessible.
Cool as it would be, you shouldn’t count on lightning turning you into a genius in one flash. Most of its results are painful, and could stay with you for the rest of your life.
28. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?
A. 1 in 12,000 may die from lightning bolts.
B. Lightning attacks can heat bodies to 27,700 ℃.
C. Humans are the most likely target for lightning bolts.
D. Branching scars are typical after lightning attacks.
29. What happened to the surgeon after the strike?
A. He suffered a lifetime of neurological pain. B. His brain was left in a fixed state of death.
C. His unexplored brain areas were activated. D. He recalled hidden memories about music.
30. What does the underlined word “This” refer to in paragraph 5?
A. The flooding of brain's neurotransmitters. B. The cell death due to lightning strikes.
C. The rewiring of brain neurons. D. The release of dying neurons.
31. What is the text mainly about?
A. The process of lightning formation. B. The consequences of being struck by lightning.
C. The possibility of lightning making a genius. D. The chances of surviving a lightning strike.

No architectural form defines the 20th century better than the glass skyscraper. From Manhattan to Moscow, these glistening towers became both a practical solution for dense cities and a coveted symbol of progress. Even today, cities like Dubai and Shenzhen keep building glass facades at a rapid pace — but prominent architects and planners are now criticizing this material’s overuse, a debate that has gained urgency amid global efforts to combat climate change.
They question glass structures’ impact on public spaces: developers prioritize floor-to-ceiling windows (and the high rents they justify) for tenants, but what about the broader urban community? More pressingly, glass buildings are far from sustainable: they trap heat in summer and lose it in winter. Post-war glass technology and cheap air conditioning once made these flaws irrelevant, but rising energy costs (both financial and environmental) are shifting attitudes. Many cities have even started revising building codes to impose stricter energy efficiency standards, putting glass-heavy designs under greater scrutiny.
British architect Ken Shuttleworth — who designed London’s “Gherkin” using glass — now calls it a “symbol of energy-guzzling buildings.” With 40% of global energy consumption linked to buildings, he argues architects must prioritize efficiency. While glass technology (coating, double glazing) has improved, Shuttleworth believes it’s not enough: “The glass industry can’t push thermal performance further right now.”
This view is challenged by Bertrand Cazes of Glass for Europe, who cites innovations like building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) that generate solar energy. He insists architects can create low-carbon glass buildings by collaborating with industry experts, adding that modern glass products have come a long way in reducing environmental footprints when used strategically.
Critics also target glass’s aesthetic impact: reflected sunlight from one London skyscraper even melted parts of a nearby car. Architecture critic Justin Davidson notes that flat glass panels make buildings look monotonous, while architect Alan Ritchie argues thoughtful design (textures, shadow lines) can fix this — but warns against “cookie-cutter” glass boxes that homogenize cities, erasing the unique character of urban neighborhoods.
Notably, neither Shuttleworth nor Ritchie rejects glass entirely; they advocate restraint: combining glass with materials like metal or stone, and using it only where views or daylight matter. Shuttleworth’s recent project uses just 35% glass, pairing it with insulated panels to cut energy use. The goal, he says, is to balance daylight (critical for well-being) with context: “Covering entire buildings in glass, regardless of need, simply doesn’t make sense.” This middle ground is gaining traction, with more developers and designers embracing mixed-material facades as a way to blend functionality, sustainability, and aesthetic appeal.
32. What is the “thermal shortcoming” of glass mentioned in the text?
A. It blocks natural light
B. It is expensive to produce
C. It traps heat in summer and loses heat in winter
D. It is easily damaged
33. What divides Ken Shuttleworth and Bertrand Cazes?
A. Whether glass can be made more energy-efficient
B. Whether architects should use glass in landmark buildings
C. Whether glass skyscrapers are symbols of progress
D. Whether BIPV technology is practical
34. What is the suggested future direction for glass in architecture?
A. Replacing glass with other materials completely
B. Using glass only in small buildings
C. Combining glass with other materials and using it selectively
D. Increasing the use of glass for better views
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. The Rise of Glass Skyscrapers
B. Glass: A Symbol of Modern Cities
C. Is Glass Still an Innovative Building Material?
D. The End of Glass Architecture

As the concept of emotional intelligence (EI) has gone global, we’ve watched professionals fail as they try to improve their emotional intelligence because they either don’t know where to focus their efforts or they haven’t understood how to improve these skills on a practical level. In our work consulting with companies and coaching leaders, we have found that if you’re looking to develop particular EI strengths, it helps to consider areas for improvement others have identified along with the goals you want to achieve, and then to actively build habits in those areas rather than simply relying on understanding them conceptually.
The first step is to get a sense of how your self-perception (how you see yourself) differs from your reputation (how others see you); ____36____. For example, most of us think that we’re good listeners, but very often that’s really not the case. Without this external reality check, it will be difficult for you to identify the ways that your actions affect your performance. Getting feedback from others can also provide proof of the necessity of shifting our behaviour and motivation to do so.
To give you the best sense of where the differences lie between your self-perception and reputation, you should use a 360-degree feedback assessment that takes into account the multiple facets of EI; ____37____. Secondly, when you get your feedback from an assessment, let that inform what you want to improve. But also consider what your goals are. When it comes to cultivating strengths in emotional intelligence, ____38____. Your emotional intelligence is so tied up in your sense of self that being intrinsically motivated to make the effort matters more when changing long-standing habits than it does when simply learning a skill.
That means the areas that you choose to actively work on should lie at the crossroads of the feedback you’ve gotten and the areas that are most important to your own aspirations; ____39____as you do the work of strengthening your emotional intelligence.
Once you’ve determined which EI skills you want to focus on, identify specific actions that you’ll take. If you’re working on becoming a better listener, for example, you might decide that when you’re conversing with someone you’ll take the time to pause, listen to what they have to say, and check that you understand before you reply. Keep it specific:____40____.
By starting to change your routine reactions, you’ll be well on your way to figuring out the old habits that aren’t serving you well and transforming them into new, improved ones that do.
A. you’re at a huge disadvantage if you’re only interested because others said you should be
B. bearing your goals in mind is so helpful to improve the positive impact of your current EI habits
C. you should also take every opportunity to practice the skill you are developing, no matter how small
D. understanding the impacts of your EI habits relative to your goals will keep you going over the long run
E. the key is to find one that guarantees no personal information of those giving you feedback will be leaked
F. how others see you will to some extent decide how you see others and help you become a good listener
G. this is true because we can be blind to how we express and read the emotional components of our interactions

The rest of us saw what happened to him but we were ____49____ to get strapped (用带子绑住) into that seat to ____50____ the next experiment. We went up to Johnsville, Pennsylvania. There was a huge centrifuge (离心机) up. We rode that thing at high speeds. We had our hand on a little trigger (扳机) and the minute we started to ____51____, our hand would come off the trigger and that would ____52____ the machine.

One evening, Mike was sitting alone in his bedroom, feeling puzzled and discouraged. His mother had just sent him there and told him to reflect on his recent behaviour. What exactly did he do wrong? As he was still thinking, he heard a knock and then the door was opened. His mother came in and sat down next to him.
“Alright Mike, tell me, do you know what you did wrong?” Mike became more puzzled as he said, “That’s exactly what I have been trying to do. But no matter how hard I try, I can’t seem to think of anything that I may have done wrong.” His mother sighed (叹息).” “Now, now, Mike. Don’t you remember how you shouted at your best friend, and even your head teacher?” “No, that’s not what happened. You must have seen it wrong...” Mike answered quietly, trying to defend himself. “Oh, really? Because it looked like you were angry at something and were taking it out on someone else.”
Mike looked awkward at what his mother told him. Truth be told, when the school announced that there would be a school trip to the zoo on Friday, Mike could hardly sit still all week. He had never been to the zoo before, and the thought of seeing lions, giraffes, and elephants up close made him excited. He even packed his backpack a day earlier, stuffing it with snacks and a notebook to sketch animals.
But on Friday morning, it was raining heavily. “It’ll clear up,” he murmured. When Mike arrived at school, he heard that the trip to the zoo had been cancelled. Mike froze in disbelief. In class, Mrs. Green, the headteacher, tried to cheer everyone up with a group activity, but Mike couldn’t focus. When she asked him to join, he yelled, “What’s the point? This day’s already ruined!” His best friend, Tom, whispered, “It’s not her fault,” but Mike glared at him. “You think this is fine? I bet you don’t even care about the zoo!” he said sharply.
