A
The sun hung low，brushing gold over the empty area.The air buzzed（喧闹）-not with insects，but with voices，cameras，and the weight of something about to begin.
Roy's heart beat like a drum.He looked out at the people gathering for the pancake house ground-breaking ceremony（仪式）.
Behind him stood the company men and the reporters.And under his feet -hidden underground -were the tiny burrows（洞穴） of the owls.
No sign marked them.No fence protected them.They asked nothing，made no sound，yet now heavy machines waited，ready to destroy（破坏）their living area.
He thought of Mullet Fingers，the wild boy who cared about animals more than himself.
He thought of brave Beatrice who helped even when it was hard.Roy had tried to stay out of trouble.He liked quiet.But now，staying quiet didn't feel right.
He stepped up to the microphone（话筒）.
"Excuse me，"he said，voice shaking."Before you dig….you should know the truth."
The crowd（人群）grew quiet.
"There are owls living here，"Roy said."They're small.They're scared.And if you build here，you'll destroy their homes."
Someone in the crowd laughed.A reporter asked，"How do you know that？"
"Because I saw them.I stood right there and watched them.They live here.They belong here.And they matter."
The manager stepped forward，"This is not your business，kid."
Roy turned to face him.His fear turned into something else-strength.
"It's my business.It's everyone's business.We can't just destroy what we don't see.Progress should not come at the cost of wonder，"he said.
His hands stopped shaking.People in the crowd began whispering.One mother held her child's hand.A teacher nodded.Even the manager looked uncertain.
Roy didn't know what would happen next.But he did what he could.He spoke the truth.
Roy used to be scared.But doing the right thing made him stronger.
Sometimes，doing what you can is enough to shift（改变）the wind.

In today's world，where over 4 billion people own a smartphone，charging our phones has become part of our daily life- just like brushing our teeth or getting dressed in the morning.
But over time，batteries stop working well，and a phone that used to last all day may suddenly need charging all the time.The problem lies in how we charge our phones.Most phone batteries today can be charged about 500 times and work well for 2 to 3 years.After that，they start holding less power.Unluckily，most smartphones don't have batteries that are easy to change.So when a battery starts failing，many people just buy a new phone，which creates waste.
To help reduce this problem，the European Union passed a law requiring phone companies to make batteries easy to remove and change by 2027.
But what can be done until then to keep your phone's battery healthy？One common mistake is always charging your phone to 100%.This is bad for the battery and shortens its life.Instead，try to keep the battery between 20% and 80%.Letting a phone get too hot can also harm the battery.And using your phone while charging makes it heat up，which breaks the battery faster.If you're charging your phone while you sleep，keep it on a hard，cool surface-not under a pillow or blanket-to stop it from overheating.Experts also say you shouldn't use cheap chargers，because they may overheat your phone.It's best to use the charger that comes with the phone.
Small changes in how you charge your phone can make a big difference，helping your battery last longer，and reducing waste.
35.How does the writer start the passage？ ______
A. By explaining technical words.
B. By describing a personal experience.
C. By listing the number of smartphones.
D. By comparing with daily habits.
36.What can we infer about the European Union？ ______
A. It pays attention to environmental protection.
B. It is making a law to make more batteries.
C. It requires to keep the phone's battery healthy.
D. It cares more about money than new technology.
37.What is the main purpose of the last paragraph？ ______
A. To compare different charging habits.
B. To explain how to help your battery last longer.
C. To stress small changes can be important.
D. To show the importance of reducing waste.
38.Which is the best title for the passage？ ______
A. Why Phone Batteries Are Easy to Fail？
B. How to Use Your Phone Safely
C. How to Make Smartphones Reduce Waste
D. How to Make Your Phone Battery Last Longer
C
①Do you ever feel like you should only aim for happiness？Think again!Emotions that are often unpleasant to feel，like anger and sadness，can be helpful too，according to experts.
② At the Emotion Science Lab at Texas A&M University，emotions are studied to see how they affect people.And Heather Lench，the director of the lab，says negative emotions，like anger and sadness，can act like a"Swiss army knife"，helping us a lot.
③ For example，sadness is an emotion that is caused by losing a goal and not being able to do anything about it—it is often linked to not wanting to do anything at all.
④ While doing nothing might feel like a waste of time，Lench says it can help us get better from failure.When people are sad，they spend more time thinking，and things like memory and judgment improve.
⑤ Now，you may have felt angry when your computer stops working，or when you have been treated badly.But Lench says that，when angry，you feel ready to act and focus on a problem.This helps us，because we can think faster and act more quickly to tasks.
⑥ Many people experience anxiety before making an important speech in public or before making a big decision.It's also our body's way of getting ready to face challenges.
⑦ The emotion can increase performance on things like studying for an exam，and it can even give us a better view to see danger.While boredom（feeling bored） is a less understood emotion，Lench says it seems to happen when our situation doesn't cause any other kind of emotion.And she says boredom may encourage us to make a change in our lives，whether big or small.
⑧ So，the next time you're feeling one of these emotions，remember—it could be trying to give you a helping hand!
39.What does the underlined word "anxiety"mean？ ______
A. Excitement. B. Nervousness. C. Boredom. D. Anger.
40.How can the passage be divided？ ______
A. ①/②③④⑤⑥⑦/⑧ B. ①/②③/④⑤⑥⑦/⑧
C. ①②/③④⑤⑥⑦/⑧ D. ①/②/③④⑤⑥⑦/⑧
41.Which of the following is the best title for the passage？ ______
A. How to Deal with Negative Emotions Like Anger and Sadness
B. Negative Emotions：They Are More Helpful Than You Think
C. Different Kinds of Negative Emotions in Daily Life
D. Suggestions from an Expert of an Emotion Lab

Economists tend to be big fans of education.Alfred Marshall，writing in 1873，hoped that education would help erase the"difference between working men and gentlemen".Gary Becker of the University of Chicago reimagined education as an investment in "human capital" that would produce returns in the market similar to other assets （资产）.
But economics can also be severely critical of schooling.In The Social Limits to Growth，a book published in 1976，Fred Hirsch pointed out that education is often "positional" in nature.What matters is not only how much you have，but whether you have more than the next person.An unhappy result is that one family's expenses of schooling raise the bar for everyone else.Families are drawn，often without awareness，into educational arms races.They spend money and time on after-school tutoring or extra-curricular activities in the expectation that it will improve their child's study.But they quickly discover that everyone else is doing the same，leaving them in the same position as before.If everyone stands on tiptoe，no one sees better，"Hirsch noted.
These arms races are often particularly intense in EBast Asi.The government of South Korea has tried to ease the races.For example，cramming schools（补习学校） were not allowed after 10 p m.Inspectors would look for schools with their lights on.Will these measures work？It is almost impossible to stop families hiring private tutors to teach their children in their own homes.
The arms race is notably less intense in parts of Europe.In Norway and Sweden parents show little demand for tutoring —the wealthy even less than others，according to Steve Entrich of the University of Potsdam.And overeducation is less common in Germany and other countries that sort children early into academic or vocational（职业的） schools.For better or worse，that removes large numbers of students from the race for more academic honors.
Germany's practice of placing children on different tracks at age 10 or 11 also invites an interesting thought experiment.What if college entrance tests were held earlier in a pupil's career？If these exams truly test the knowledge required for university，they must be held just before university starts.But if such tests mostly serve as filters，choosing better students from worse，they need not be held so late.An earlier test would save families a year or two of costly cramming，shortening "the obstacle journey"，as Hirsch put it，without much changing the results.
46.What can we infer about education according to Gary Becker？ ______
A. It serves as a driver of economic growth.
B. It leads to the widening of class difference.
C. It plays a vital role in the development of a country.
D. It promotes progress toward social equity.
47.What do the underlined words "raise the bar" mean in Paragraph 2？ ______
A. Improve standards. B. Build up difficulties.
C. Provide an example. D. Limit the amount of money.
48.Why does the author mention East Asia and parts of Europe？ ______
A. To show educational competitiveness across regions.
B. To highlight the impact of private tutoring on education.
C. To compare educational arms races in different areas.
D. To provide suggestions for lessening academic pressure.
49.Which of the following will the author probably agree with？ ______
A. Closing cramming schools.
B. Giving selective tests earlier.
C. Following the German practice.
D. Replacing tests with other choices.
