More women are making history in a number of industries, yet some, namely the world of the military, are still in large part out untapped. That is perhaps until now, at least when it comes to the aviation (航空) field. Madeline Swegle has just broken a 110 year record as the US Navy’s (海军) very first woman of color fighter pilot. While it is a momentous achievement, it’s been a long time coming. The fighter pilot has been absorbed in the world of flight since she was a little girl watching the Blue Angels shoot through the sky in Burke, VA．Her family would always take her to see the display every time it was in her hometown. Thanks to them, she grew up being encouraged to seriously run after her dreams, eventually leading her to the U.S. Naval Academy in 2017.
Prior to joining in the intense three year training, she underwent mandatory tactical air training (TACAIR). Up until that point, Swegle had never actually been in an aircraft; it was something that just interested her. At first, she just wanted the opportunity to work in the field; little did she know she would get that far. Swegle said in a statement released by the Navy, “It would’ve been nice to see someone who looked like me in this role; I never intended to be the first. I hope it’s encouraging to others.”
Swegle’s story shows how critical it is to have representation and equality. It’s also on industries and people in positions of power to try to advance equality for all people — especially Black Americans facing discrimination. It falls on individuals, organizations, businesses, and political leadership. Hopefully, we will get to see far more stories like Swegle’s. We know that there are probably countless little girls out there who will go on to lead their fields.
24．What motivated Madeline Swegle to be a fighter pilot
A．Remarkable women in history.
B．Admission to Naval Academy.
C．Examples set by her parents.
D．Air shows in her hometown.
25．According to paragraph 2, Madeline Swegle _____.
A．spent three years on TACAIR
B．created opportunities for her field
C．operated an aircraft before training
D．won success beyond her expectations
26．What does Madeline Swegle’s achievement suggest
A．Women are treated equally in aviation.
B．Racial discrimination has stood in her way.
C．Girls have the chance to be brave pioneers.
D．People in power are to blame for unfairness.
27．Which of the following best describe Madeline Swegle
A．Helpful and innovative.
B．Independent and experienced.
C．Tough and influential.
D．Confident and responsible.
The study, published in the Journal of Child Psychology & Psychiatry, compared survey results of parents with their children in England and Wales from the ages of 16 months to 13 years. The research team found that average levels of food fussiness (挑食) were relatively stable during this period, peaking somewhat around the age of 7 and declining slightly after that. They concluded that genetic differences in the population accounted for 60% of the variation in food fussiness at 16 months, rising to 74% and over between the ages of 3 and 13.
Lead author Dr Zeynep Nas said, “Food fussiness is common among children and can be a major source of anxiety for parents and caregivers, who often blame themselves for this behaviour or are blamed by others. “We hope our finding that fussy eating is largely inborn may help to ease parental blame. This behaviour is not a result of parenting.”
Senior author Dr Clare Llewellyn said, “While genetic factors are the major influence for food fussiness, environment also plays a supporting role. Environmental factors, such as sitting down together as a family to eat meals, may only be significant in toddlerhood (蹒跚学步期); While environmental factors, such as individual personal experiences (e.g., having different friends), become more influential in later years.” This suggests that interventions (干预) to help children eat a wider range of foods, such as repeatedly exposing children to the same foods regularly and offering a variety of fruits and vegetables, may be most effective in the very early years. Unique environmental factors accounted for about a quarter of individual differences between children in fussy eating by ages 7 and 13, the researchers estimated.
Among the study limitations, the researchers noted that there were fewer participants at age 7 compared to other time points and that the study sample (样本) had a large percentage of white British households of higher social economic backgrounds compared to the general population of England and Wales. In future, the team said, research should focus on non-western populations where food culture, parental feeding practices and food security may be quite different.
28．According to paragraph 1, what does the study tell us
A．Teenagers over 13 years old have a balanced diet.
B．Children at 7 have the highest level of food fussiness.
C．Variation in food fussiness causes genetic differences.
D．Children become more particular about food with age.
29．What did Dr Zeynep Nas suggest
A．Parents should be blamed for children’s food fussiness.
B．Food fussiness is mainly caused by genetic factors.
C．Children should be forced to eat various foods.
D．Parents should avoid eating with their children.
30．According to Dr Clare Llewellyn, which of the following is important for young children’s eating habits
A．Having meals with family. B．Making more friends.
C．Eating a variety of foods. D．Exercising regularly.
31．What is the limitation of the study
A．It only focused on children in England and Wales.
B．It didn’t consider the influence of environment.
C．It had a small number of participants at age 7.
D．It didn’t distinguish between different genders.
Many digital characters we call emojis describe the natural world. Yet the emoji tree of life is imbalanced, according to a study published recently in the journal iScience.
Researchers analyzing the comprehensive Emojipedia (表情图标百科) found that vertebrate (脊椎的) animals are heavily favored over all other types of life, while plants are hardly featured at all — and some branches of biodiversity are missing entirely. The study authors suggest that these gaps could influence digital communication about protection and biology.
Emojis are an increasingly large part of human communication, and it’s worth examining the holes, says Sanjaya Wijeratne, a computer scientist who has studied emoji meaning and use. “The paper asks a virtual question,” he says, noting that past research suggests that including emojis in social media posts can boost positive engagement. Some emojis could help to promote perception of certain biological classifications (分类) online, Wijeratne suggests.
But emojis come with costs, says Jennifer Lee, a current member of the nonprofit Unicode Consortium’s Emoji Subcommittee, which is responsible for shaping international emoji standards. Every additional emoji requires storage space and adds to keyboard clutter. New emojis must be carefully considered and meet standards of use frequency.
Study co-author Gentile Francesco Ficetola, a biologist at University of Milan, isn’t advocating for every species to get its cartoon version. Instead, he and his colleagues suggest increasing virtual representation by adding just three new emojis that would significantly boost diversity: a flatworm, a water bear and a starfish. But Lee doesn’t think any of these will make the cut soon. She even previously advocated for a starfish emoji, whose uses proved too limited. “I tried,” she says. “And it’s pretty, but that’s it.”
Despite the difficulty of expanding emojis, big advances in emoji biodiversity have already been made. The number of animal types more than doubled between 2015 and 2022, according to the study, which was a pleasant surprise for Ficetola. “My personal feeling is that we have a better understanding of biodiversity now, emoji included,” he says. “Still, we can always do better.”
32．What do we know about emoji describing nature
A．They’re limited in variety.
B．They’re favored by vertebrate animals.
C．They’re insufficient in number.
D．They’re used to protect the ecosystem.
33．What does the author imply in paragraph 3
A．Social media urge posters to use positive emojis.
B．Emojis broaden users’ knowledge of species.
C．Emojis are a popular daily topic.
D．Holes are typical of emojis.
34．Which best explains the phrase “make the cut” in paragraph 5
A．Come into use.
B．Get across.
C．Spring to mind.
D．Stay still.
35．How does Ficetola think about the expansion of emojis
A．Challenging.
B．Unclear.
C．Hopeless.
D．Optimistic.
When I was a child, my mother battled with me over learning the art of conversation and how to chat to grown ups. As a shy person, making small talk can feel unnecessary and forced. 36 First impressions really do count. People make judgments based on your appearance and how you present yourself in the first few seconds of meeting. Simply smiling at a person can tell them that you’re trustworthy and easy- going. Even if you’re stressed about work or your boiler has exploded, your body language matters.
37 Smile, and dress appropriately. Smile is like a warm welcome mat for your face—signaling approachability and friendliness—making all the difference in how people treat you. 38 Think about what you’re going to wear so you’re not stressed over choosing an outfit on that day. Select clothes that make you feel empowered and confident. Remember, confidence starts with feeling good in your own skin, and the right outfit can be helpful in that journey.
Mirror the other person’s body language. If you’re struggling to connect with a person and have different views, mirroring their behavior can help you. 39 Whether you like what they’re saying or not, it doesn’t matter that much.
Be swan- like. Think of yourself as a swan on a pond. You can sail calmly, but secretly be working hard, kicking your legs at full speed beneath the water. 40 You can shake out your tension later with a dance or a bath.
A．Then, how to create the right impression
B．If you’re going to a social event, preparation is key.
C．Body language makes a difference in any social contexts.
D．It’s like becoming an automatic printer of their behaviors.
E．It’s an effective way to bond and make them feel understood.
F．Despite my resistance, I can see mum gave me a useful life skill.
G．Keep your stress in check, hold your head high and move proudly.

The night had deepened and all was quiet. But Jack was burning the midnight oil, busy with his revision work, determined to improve his grades. A wave of tiredness crept over him; he stretched his arms and drank another cup of coffee. He felt refreshed and continued to work hard. He knew he couldn't let his recent failures define him.
That morning, as the test papers were handed back, Jack was shocked to find that he got the only D in his class. Though he didn’t do well in his lessons, the unexpected grade hit him hard. Most of his classmates got their desired grades, their laughter and chatter feeling like a painful reminder of his failure. He couldn't help but recall that he always passed exams with C, and in his parents' eyes, he was a total failure. This painful reality weighed heavily on him. Staring at the glaring D grade on his paper, Jack felt he should do something. He couldn’t continue down this path. He needed to change.
From that day, he was more focused and eager to learn in class. He raised his hand more often, contributing more, and his assignments showed his hard work and dedication. His teacher, Ms. Green, impressed by his efforts, praised him in front of the class. His classmates started to see him differently too, giving him friendly smiles and support, which boosted his confidence. Everyone noticed a big change in Jack, except his busy parents.
After a month of hard work, the day of the next exam finally arrived. Jack walked into the examination hall with confidence, feeling well prepared and ready to face the challenges ahead. As he worked through the test, everything seemed to flow smoothly. When the bell rang, he felt he could make it this time.
Two days later, the results were announced. Jack was excited to see his amazing grade — B+. “Well done, Jack! We are all so proud of you!” Ms. Green said. After school, Jack rushed out, eager to show his parents his B+ grade.

1. 续写词数应为150个左右；

W: Okay, I’ll get the tools out of the box and prepare everything while you’re doing that.
2．B
【原文】M: Amazing. How did you manage to get a flight from Australia to London for 300 dollars
W: Well, I had to make five different stops, including a 10 hour layover in Paris, but a direct flight could have cost me 1300 dollars.
3．A
【原文】W: Tom, I would like you to sit in the front.
M: But why Miss Williams Billy and I always sit at the back by the window and we can see the board clearly.
W: Okay, but you often look outside instead of listening carefully in class.
4．C
【原文】M: Excuse me, madam, I’d like to get some flowers for my friend in hospital, these fresh ones.

W: No problem.
5．C

M: It was fun. I don’t enjoy his new songs, but the classics are amazing.
W: I agree. His songs from the older collections are the best.
6．A 7．A
【原文】W: This painting is filled with unique colors and shapes.
M: Hmm, I dislike it. It is beautiful, but I can’t tell what I am looking at.
W: That’s right. Each painting carries a different message or feeling to an artist. The most important part is expressing himself instead of only making something beautiful.
M: Interesting. You mean an artist can create a popular work by showing his feelings and ideas
W: Exactly. It’s not about looking beautiful. Don’t focus on details and styles the painters create when looking at paintings. Instead, you can try to connect with the artist emotionally.

W: Sam told me, you know him.
M: Oh yes, Sam and other market workers come to buy our vegetables every week.
W: That’s him, by the way, what’s the plan for today
M: A group of students are coming for a study trip. You’ll help me teach them how to pick plants.
W: Lovely. Will they learn how to cook
M: That’s for tomorrow.

M: That’s great. Are you good at meeting deadlines
W: I handle tasks according to their importance and stay organized to meet deadlines.
M: Good approach. How do you work in a team
W: I believe in open communication and cooperation. I found being adaptable my biggest strength, especially when working in a team in challenging environments.
M: Excellent, how would you handle strays
W: Oh, through sports. I prefer it over other means like eating or shopping, which might be more common for some.
M: That’s healthy and actually we have a flexible working schedule and you won’t suffer from huge pressure. Thank you for coming in today, Sarah.
W: Thank you for this opportunity, sir. I look forward to the next steps. Have a great day.
14．C 15．A 16．C 17．B
【原文】M: Okay, everyone, I want you to go back to your groups that I put you in last week and then go to the stage in the hall. That way I can see how the final show will look and sound.
W: Sir, are we going to practice with full instruments today like we did last time in the music classroom
M: Yes indeed. If everyone can do it, please take out your instruments and carefully push your cases under your chairs. Anyone choosing to use a music stand, please set it up properly and make sure that it doesn’t fall over.
W: My stand got broken on the school bus. You know, accidents always happen. Can I share Sandy, sir We’re both playing the same musical parts.
M: Yes, fine. Just move your chairs close together and place the stand between you. Okay, everyone, keep watching me for any instructions and let’s bring this beautiful piece of music together for the school show ready and 123.
18．A 19．B 20．A
【原文】M: Hello everyone. Welcome to fashion time. I’m Tony. Today we’re going to talk about the future of fashion. Well, the dark materials and colours from last season no longer catch on. The newest fashions are light, and all seem to include something of technology. Dresses this season are made from bright materials like gold and Silver that give the person wearing them an appearance of being dressed in a machine.
Both men and women seem to be very attracted to these new robot like designs. In addition, many small fashion pieces are now made with three D printers. Those with access to these printers can make their own unique jewellery. Traditionally, handmade decorations have been seen as the most valuable things in fashion, but that may be changing now. Tech inspired pieces are the ones in high demand, and they are not selling for cheap prices either.
Pay attention during this year’s award shows, many of your favourite movie stars will be lighting up the red carpet with their high Tech decorations. By next year, you can expect to see them in clothing stores across the country.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一项关于孩子挑食的研究，介绍了研究的发现以及局限性等情况。
28．细节理解题。根据第一段“The research team found that average levels of food fussiness (挑食) were relatively stable during this period, peaking somewhat around the age of 7 and declining slightly after that. (研究小组发现，在这段时间里，食物挑剔的平均水平相对稳定，在7岁左右达到顶峰，之后略有下降。)”可知，这项研究指出7岁的孩子对食物的挑剔程度最高。故选B。
29．推理判断题。根据第二段““We hope our finding that fussy eating is largely inborn may help to ease parental blame. This behaviour is not a result of parenting.” (“我们希望，挑食在很大程度上是天生的这一发现，可以帮助减轻父母的指责。这种行为不是父母教育的结果。”)”可知，泽内普·纳斯博士指出挑食主要是由遗传因素引起的。故选B。
30．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“This suggests that interventions (干预) to help children eat a wider range of foods, such as repeatedly exposing children to the same foods regularly and offering a variety of fruits and vegetables, may be most effective in the very early years. (这表明，帮助孩子吃更广泛的食物的干预措施，比如定期让孩子反复接触同样的食物，并提供各种水果和蔬菜，可能在很小的时候就最有效)”可知，根据克莱尔·卢埃林博士的说法，吃各种各样的食物对幼儿的饮食习惯很重要。故选C。
31．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Among the study limitations, the researchers noted that there were fewer participants at age 7 compared to other time points and that the study sample (样本) had a large percentage of white British households of higher social economic backgrounds compared to the general population of England and Wales. (在研究的局限性中，研究人员指出，与其他时间点相比，7岁时的参与者较少，而且与英格兰和威尔士的普通人口相比，研究样本中有很大比例的英国白人家庭具有较高的社会经济背景。)”可知，本研究的局限性是只有一小部分7岁的参与者。故选C。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述一项研究指出，描述自然世界的表情符号树状图并不平衡，脊椎动物被大量偏爱，而植物则几乎没有被提及，生物多样性的一些分支则完全缺失。
32．细节理解题。根据第二段“Researchers analyzing the comprehensive Emojipedia (表情图标百科) found that vertebrate (脊椎的) animals are heavily favored over all other types of life, while plants are hardly featured at all—and some branches of biodiversity are missing entirely.(研究人员在分析全面的《表情图标百科》时发现，脊椎动物在所有其他生物类型中都被大量偏爱，而植物则几乎没有被提及，生物多样性的一些分支则完全缺失)”我们可以得出结论，描述自然的表情符号种类有限。故选A项。
33．推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“ “The paper asks a virtual question,” he says, noting that past research suggests that including emojis in social media posts can boost positive engagement. Some emojis could help to promote perception of certain biological classifications online, Wijeratne suggests.(“这篇论文提出了一个虚拟的问题，”他说，指出过去的研究表明，在社交媒体帖子中加入表情符号可以提高正面互动。Wijeratne建议，某些表情符号可以帮助在线推广某些生物分类的认知。）”可以推断，作者暗示表情符号可以拓宽用户对物种的认识。故选B项。
34．词句猜测题。根据第五段的“But Lee doesn't think any of these will make the cut soon. She even previously advocated for a starfish emoji, whose uses proved too limited.(但Lee认为这些都不会很快make the cut。她甚至之前都主张使用海星表情符号，但它的用途证明太有限了)”可知，Lee认为海星表情符号用途有限，所以认为它不会很快被使用，由此推断出“make the cut”意为“投入使用”。故选A项。
35．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的“Despite the difficulty of expanding emojis, big advances in emoji biodiversity have already been made.(尽管扩展表情图标很困难，但表情图标生物多样性已经取得了很大进展。)”和Ficetola的话““My personal feeling is that we have a better understanding of biodiversity now, emoji included,” he says. “Still, we can always do better.”(“我个人的感觉是，我们现在对生物多样性有了更好的理解，包括表情符号，”他说。“尽管如此，我们总是可以做得更好。”)”可知，Ficetola对表情图标的扩展持乐观态度。故选D项。

How have you been Last week, our foreign teacher organized an AI poetry creation activity. I wrote a poem about the beauty of nature, highlighting the harmony between humans and the environment. The AI provided creative suggestions that enriched my work. This experience was fascinating as it showed me how technology can enhance artistic expression.

67． “Mom and Dad, I have good news to share!” Jack burst into the living room, his face glowing with excitement. “I got a B+ in the exam!” His parents exchanged surprised glances, and their disbelief was evident. “How could that be ” His dad asked, frowning. “You’ve never done that well before.” Reflecting on his efforts during countless days and night,Jack felt kind of hurt but quickly continued in defense of himself. “I’ve been studying really hard, Mom and Dad. I promise, I didn’t cheat.”
Jack phoned Ms. Green,hoping she could remove his parents’ doubts. “Ms. Green, my parents are skeptical about my B+ grade. Could you please talk to them They don’t believe I could have improved so much on my own.” Ms. Green assured Jack that she would have a heart-to-heart talk with his parents, emphasizing his hard work and dedication. After several days, when he saw the delicious meal that his parents had prepared for him to express their apology, nothing could express his delight.
