When I first heard about Summit Learning, I admitted I was not a bit happy and excited at all. I thought it would require interactions with others. But later, I was astonished when I got to experience it firsthand.
Recently, we did a poetry project, and one of the activities was a peer (同伴) review. I would never have taken part if it was up to me, as I preferred to work independently. But when I got involved, I found in the experience, I had done something that I thought was nearly impossible — it made my poetry better. My partner informed me of my mistakes and told me where I could give more detail.
One of our final products of the project was to present our poetry to the class. I’ve always loved public speaking but I thought with Summit Learning, I would have fewer chances to speak. I was wrong. The peer activities we did with a partner gave me more belief in my ability and inspired me to do more to make my presentation the best it could possibly be.
Interactions like these are what Summit Learning is all about. This style of learning brings a positive and hard-working culture that allows us to push our boundaries and keep going It creates a sense of community since we are all working towards a similar goal.
As an active boy, I have always been ahead and advanced, but in a normal classroom, there are restrictions on what I can do. With Summit Learning, I can go beyond expectations in projects or move ahead in learning new content when I’m ready. I have ownership of my work and pursue my goals.
Summit Learning has showed me how much people can grow and change. It has helped me see people and myself differently. It has been one of the greatest experiences of my life, and I cannot see myself going back to a normal classroom.
24. What was the author’s initial response to Summit Learning
A. He was astonished to hear about it. B. He was a bit excited about it.
C. He was unwilling to attend it. D. He was curious about how it worked.
25. How did the author benefit from the poetry project
A. It reminded him to be independent. B. It improved his poem and confidence..
C. It raised him a sense of responsibility. D. It allowed him to deliver a public speech.
26. What can be inferred about Summit Learning
A. It has restrictions on what one can do.
B. It shows boundaries of one’s abilities.
C. It teaches poetry in a normal classroom.
D. It transforms the traditional way of learning.
27. What does the author think of Summit Learning now
A. Inspiring. B. Enjoyable. C. Challeng ng. D. Conservative.
C
Climate change has been a long-standing issue. The universe’s most abundant element, hydrogen (氢), has drawn the scientists’ attention and is now on its way to becoming the future of green fuel.
More than $150 billion worth of green hydrogen projects were announced globally in 2020. A European multinational aerospace corporation has taken the lead in the new sustainable fuel industry. It has designed self-contained hydrogen fuel cell pods (电池舱) that can be attached to the underside of airplane wings, promoting the use of hydrogen fuel for long-distance flights, which aim to achieve zero emissions.
Compared to fossil fuels, hydrogen is a much more eco-friendly fuel. When hydrogen burns, the only by-product is water. However, the traditional way to get hydrogen from natural gas or coal generates considerable carbon emissions. The greenest way is to obtain hydrogen from water using electrolysis (电解) powered by renewable energy, although this process requires so much electricity. The key to making hydrogen competitive with fossil fuels is to lower the production cost.
Also, shipping liquid hydrogen is challenging, given that needs to be chilled to -253℃ to do so. Japan’s Kawasaki Heavy Industries is set to complete the construction of the world’s first liquefied hydrogen carrier by early 2021. Most of the world’s big hydrogen export projects are looking to ship hydrogen in the form of liquid ammonia (氨), which can be changed to hydrogen and needs to be chilled to only -33 C.
With more and more countries aiming to cut down carbon emissions to solve the issue of global warming, green hydrogen will help decarbonizing (碳减排) industries that can’t be electrified hit the targets.
“We could use these circumstances, where loads of public money are going to be needed into the energy system, to jump forward towards a hydrogen economy,” said Diederik Samsom, who heads the European Commission’s climate cabinet.
28. What is the strength of the hydrogen fuel
A. It is convenient to store. B. It works very efficiently.
C. It is environmentally friendly. D. It produces no by-product
29. What is the challenge when shipping liquid hydrogen
A. The required temperature. B. The expensive cost of shipping.
C. The construction of liquefied carriers. D. Changing it to the form of liquid ammonia.
30. Which industries will benefit from green hydrogen most
A. Those making hydrogen. B. Those generating electricity.
C. Those funded by public money. D. Those powered by fossil fuels.
31. What is the most suitable title for the passage
A. Fueling a Green Future B. Living a Green Life
C. Shipping Liquid Hydrogen D. Making Hydrogen Competitive
D
I often find myself running late on the edge of missing appointments. It’s not that I enjoy being late, but somehow, it keeps happening. A delayed train, a miscalculation in time, a wrong turn, the reasons for my lateness are many. I dislike being late, and yet, I frequently find myself in a rush or arriving behind schedule.
Michaela Thomas, a Swedish psychologist, calls people like me “time optimists” or “tidsoptimists”. We underestimate how long tasks will take and overestimate the time we have. As a result, we often find ourselves rushing, causing stress for both ourselves and those around us. It creates a domino effect of chaos, annoyance, and inconvenience for everyone involved. It can even have severe consequences.
The causes of standing lateness are complex. People, according to Jung, fall into two categories: “timekeepers” and “time enders”. Timekeepers work methodically, stay organized, and usually finish tasks ahead of schedule. In contrast, time enders, like me, push things to the last minute, feeling most energized and creative when under pressure.
Many see procrastination (拖延) as a key reason for lateness, but it’s not simply a time management issue. Fuschia Sirois, a professor of social and health psychology, believes procrastination often arises from mood management. People put off tasks to avoid dealing with emotions like anxiety, fear, or frustration. It can also be a form of rebellion when faced with boring or uncontrollable tasks.
Is there a solution for latecomers Researchers suggest creating pre-event deadlines for important occasions like a wedding or catching a flight, so that the extra time can help you avoid being late when unforeseen circumstances arise. You can inform friends, family, and colleagues about your commitment to punctuality and ask for their support in helping you stay on time. For everyday improvement, setting alerts on phones for getting ready instead of departure time, breaking tasks into smaller, manageable parts and prioritizing time-flexible tasks can be helpful.
32. The underlined words “time optimists” in paragraph 2 refer to people who .
A. work in an organized manner B. always be punctual
C. leave things until the last minute D. have a casual personality
33. What can we learn from the passage about procrastination
A. It is driven by the desire for perfectionism.
B. It is a charming and creative quality in individuals.
C. It is always due to a lack of time management skills.
D. It may arise from a desire to avoid uncomfortable emotions.
34. What is a suggested solution for latecomers
A. Allowing enough time for important events.
B. Setting departure time alerts on the phone.
C. Relying on friends to make plans in advance.
D. Prioritizing time-sensitive tasks over flexible ones.
35. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Ways of strict time management. B. The impact of procrastination on punctuality.
C. Benefits of punctuality in daily life. D. Reasons for lateness and strategies to solve it.

Whether you’re an introvert or extrovert, quiet or loud.one of the keys to success in every area of your life is learning how to be more confident. Here are some things that can help you become more self-confident!
Train your brain. ___36___ Instead of immediately assuming you can’t accomplish something, believe you have what it takes to figure it out. Like Marie Forleo always says, “Everything is figureoutable.”
Watch your words. Whether you realize it or not, the words you speak shape your beliefs about yourself and what others believe about you. ___37___ The act of gossiping and putting others down always comes from a place of insecurity, so if you catch yourself wanting to say something sarcastic, redirect those thoughts to something better.
___38___ In her research, social psychologist Amy Cuddy found that confident people have higher levels of testosterone and that people’s levels of testosterone can rise simply by exhibiting a “high power pose.” we’ve all heard the phrase “Fake it till you make it,” but Amy took this a step further and said, “Fake it till you become it.”
Be secure. Being secure in who you are means that, although you might make a mistake or fail, you know you’re not a failure.___39___
Get experience. Nothing builds self-confidence like experience. After you’ve done: the thing once you’ve led the company meeting, published your first blog, or coached your first client-your confidence in your ability to do it again will soar. ___40___
A Stay positive.
B. Change your body language.
C. That also goes for what we speak about others.
D. Just do it, and watch your confidence take off.
E You have the power to be more confident within yourself.

At Piedmont School, everyone wanted to be on the soccer team. Laura had dreamed of earning glory for the Falcons ever since she had witnessed her older brother scoring the winning goal. On the day she joined the team, she felt like she could fly.
Unfortunately, her joy did not last long. She spent most of the matches on the bench. Walking to the car after the last game, Laura’s mother asked if she was feeling fine. Laura kept quiet and tried to smile at her mother. Having spent yet another game as a reserve, Laura had not even broken a sweat. Laura also joked that she would have baked in the hot sun if she had played. Her mother assured her that she would have another chance to play. She also cheered Laura on. Laura could only shake her head as she climbed into the seat, back hunched and face down.
A few days later, Laura’s mother found she sprawled on the couch, watching music videos on her phone, so she tried asking Laura to watch soccer videos instead. Laura looked at her mother blankly, rolling her eyes. “They won’t help me and I can’t get better by myself,” Laura said.
Sighing, her mother sank down on the couch. “Laura, for every lock, there is a key. We just have to find it. What if I film you practicing to help you find ways to improve ”
“But the season’s over, Mum. No more practice, remember ” Laura said. Her mother looked at her resolutely and insisted that the best players keep practicing even when the season is over. Laura protested, “But to practice plays, I would need at least one other person to join me! It is difficult to do that alone.”
Laura’s mother patted her and said, “We’ll find that key too, but we have to start somewhere.” While Laura’s mother was searching her wallet for her gold key, she smiled gently at Laura. She gave Laura an assuring no d before passing her the key. “This key is a reminder for you to be strong and not give up. Let’s build something tomorrow.” Laura’s mother said.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右;

【原文】I’d always enjoyed taking things apart and putting them back together again since I was a child, so when I left school, I decided to become a mechanic. I studied hard and eventually got my qualifications and started working.
First, I worked mostly on cars and vehicles, but after getting bored of my town and longing for adventure I decided that I wanted to try something new. I decided to apply for a position as a mechanic on a ship.
It was a big change, but I was excited. I learnt a lot about the different systems on the ship and how to keep them running. It was a challenge and so different from before, I struggled at first but I enjoyed it once I got used to it. I felt a great sense of satisfaction when I fixed things.
The crew were all very helpful and it was a great experience. I travelled all over the world and saw some amazing places. I completed my work and travelled. I learnt a lot about the different cultures and was able to use the skills I learnt in my training. Eventually, I returned to my country and started my own repair shop.

When I first heard about Summit Learning, I admitted I was not a bit happy and excited at all. I thought it would require interactions with others. But later, I was astonished when I got to experience it firsthand.
Recently, we did a poetry project, and one of the activities was a peer (同伴) review. I would never have taken part if it was up to me, as I preferred to work independently. But when I got involved, I found in the experience, I had done something that I thought was nearly impossible — it made my poetry better. My partner informed me of my mistakes and told me where I could give more detail.
One of our final products of the project was to present our poetry to the class. I’ve always loved public speaking but I thought with Summit Learning, I would have fewer chances to speak. I was wrong. The peer activities we did with a partner gave me more belief in my ability and inspired me to do more to make my presentation the best it could possibly be.
Interactions like these are what Summit Learning is all about. This style of learning brings a positive and hard-working culture that allows us to push our boundaries and keep going It creates a sense of community since we are all working towards a similar goal.
As an active boy, I have always been ahead and advanced, but in a normal classroom, there are restrictions on what I can do. With Summit Learning, I can go beyond expectations in projects or move ahead in learning new content when I’m ready. I have ownership of my work and pursue my goals.
Summit Learning has showed me how much people can grow and change. It has helped me see people and myself differently. It has been one of the greatest experiences of my life, and I cannot see myself going back to a normal classroom.
24. What was the author’s initial response to Summit Learning
A. He was astonished to hear about it. B. He was a bit excited about it.

25 How did the author benefit from the poetry project
A. It reminded him to be independent. B. It improved his poem and confidence..
C. It raised him a sense of responsibility. D. It allowed him to deliver a public speech.
26. What can be inferred about Summit Learning

B. It shows boundaries of one’s abilities.
C. It teaches poetry in a normal classroom.
D. It transforms the traditional way of learning.
27. What does the author think of Summit Learning now

Climate change has been a long-standing issue. The universe’s most abundant element, hydrogen (氢), has drawn the scientists’ attention and is now on its way to becoming the future of green fuel.
More than $150 billion worth of green hydrogen projects were announced globally in 2020. A European multinational aerospace corporation has taken the lead in the new sustainable fuel industry. It has designed self-contained hydrogen fuel cell pods (电池舱) that can be attached to the underside of airplane wings, promoting the use of hydrogen fuel for long-distance flights, which aim to achieve zero emissions.
Compared to fossil fuels, hydrogen is a much more eco-friendly fuel. When hydrogen burns, the only by-product is water. However, the traditional way to get hydrogen from natural gas or coal generates considerable carbon emissions. The greenest way is to obtain hydrogen from water using electrolysis (电解) powered by renewable energy, although this process requires so much electricity. The key to making hydrogen competitive with fossil fuels is to lower the production cost.
Also, shipping liquid hydrogen is challenging, given that needs to be chilled to -253℃ to do so. Japan’s Kawasaki Heavy Industries is set to complete the construction of the world’s first liquefied hydrogen carrier by early 2021. Most of the world’s big hydrogen export projects are looking to ship hydrogen in the form of liquid ammonia (氨), which can be changed to hydrogen and needs to be chilled to only -33 C.
With more and more countries aiming to cut down carbon emissions to solve the issue of global warming, green hydrogen will help decarbonizing (碳减排) industries that can’t be electrified hit the targets.
“We could use these circumstances, where loads of public money are going to be needed into the energy system, to jump forward towards a hydrogen economy,” said Diederik Samsom, who heads the European Commission’s climate cabinet.
28. What is the strength of the hydrogen fuel
A. It is convenient to store. B. It works very efficiently.
C. It is environmentally friendly. D. It produces no by-product
29. What is the challenge when shipping liquid hydrogen
A. The required temperature. B. The expensive cost of shipping.
C. The construction of liquefied carriers. D. Changing it to the form of liquid ammonia.
30. Which industries will benefit from green hydrogen most
A. Those making hydrogen. B. Those generating electricity.
C. Those funded by public money. D. Those powered by fossil fuels.
31. What is the most suitable title for the passage
A Fueling a Green Future B. Living a Green Life
C. Shipping Liquid Hydrogen D. Making Hydrogen Competitive
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍为了解决气候变化问题，广大科学家将目光聚焦在绿色的氢气能源上，并介绍了氢气能源的运输条件和发展前景。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It has designed self-contained hydrogen fuel cell pods (电池舱) that can be attached to the underside of airplane wings, promoting the use of hydrogen fuel for long-distance flights, which aim to achieve zero emissions. (该公司设计了独立的氢燃料电池舱，可以附着在飞机机翼的底部，促进氢燃料在长途飞行中的使用，旨在实现零排放。)”可知，氢燃料电池舱能促进氢燃料在长途飞行中的使用，旨在实现零排放，由此可知，燃料电池舱的主要优点就在于环保。故选C项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Also, shipping liquid hydrogen is challenging, given that needs to be chilled to -253℃ to do so. (此外，运输液氢具有挑战性，因为需要将其冷却到-253℃。)”可知，液态氢气的运输需要先将其冷却至超低温，由此可知，运输液态氢的挑战是它对温度有要求。故选A项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“With more and more countries aiming to cut down carbon emissions to solve the issue of global warming, green hydrogen will help decarbonizing (碳减排) industries that can’t be electrified hit the targets. (随着越来越多的国家致力于减少碳排放以解决全球变暖问题，绿色氢将帮助无法电气化的脱碳行业实现目标。)”可知，绿色氢将帮助无法电气化的脱碳行业实现目标，由此可知，绿色氢可以让以化石燃料为动力的行业受益。故选D项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Climate change has been a long-standing issue. The universe’s most abundant element, hydrogen (氢), has drawn the scientists’ attention and is now on its way to becoming the future of green fuel. (气候变化是一个长期存在的问题。宇宙中最丰富的元素氢已经引起了科学家们的注意，现在它正在成为未来的绿色燃料。)”可知，为了解决气候变化问题，氢元素引起了科学家们的主要，她正成为未来的绿色燃料，结合下文中介绍的氢燃料的特点以及运输液体氢燃料的挑战和其发展前景可知，题目“推动绿色未来”与本文的内容吻合，且概括了全文的主题，最符合文章标题。故选A项。

I often find myself running late on the edge of missing appointments. It’s not that I enjoy being late, but somehow, it keeps happening. A delayed train, a miscalculation in time, a wrong turn, the reasons for my lateness are many. I dislike being late, and yet, I frequently find myself in a rush or arriving behind schedule.
Michaela Thomas a Swedish psychologist, calls people like me “time optimists” or “tidsoptimists”. We underestimate how long tasks will take and overestimate the time we have. As a result, we often find ourselves rushing, causing stress for both ourselves and those around us. It creates a domino effect of chaos, annoyance, and inconvenience for everyone involved. It can even have severe consequences.
The causes of standing lateness are complex. People, according to Jung, fall into two categories: “timekeepers” and “time enders”. Timekeepers work methodically, stay organized, and usually finish tasks ahead of schedule. In contrast, time enders, like me, push things to the last minute, feeling most energized and creative when under pressure.
Many see procrastination (拖延) as a key reason for lateness, but it’s not simply a time management issue. Fuschia Sirois, a professor of social and health psychology, believes procrastination often arises from mood management. People put off tasks to avoid dealing with emotions like anxiety, fear, or frustration. It can also be a form of rebellion when faced with boring or uncontrollable tasks.
Is there a solution for latecomers Researchers suggest creating pre-event deadlines for important occasions like a wedding or catching a flight, so that the extra time can help you avoid being late when unforeseen circumstances arise. You can inform friends, family, and colleagues about your commitment to punctuality and ask for their support in helping you stay on time. For everyday improvement, setting alerts on phones for getting ready instead of departure time, breaking tasks into smaller, manageable parts and prioritizing time-flexible tasks can be helpful.
32. The underlined words “time optimists” in paragraph 2 refer to people who .
A. work in an organized manner B. always be punctual
C. leave things until the last minute D. have a casual personality
33. What can we learn from the passage about procrastination
A. It is driven by the desire for perfectionism.
B. It is a charming and creative quality in individuals.
C. It is always due to a lack of time management skills.
D. It may arise from a desire to avoid uncomfortable emotions.
34. What is a suggested solution for latecomers
A. Allowing enough time for important events.
B. Setting departure time alerts on the phone.
C. Relying on friends to make plans in advance.
D. Prioritizing time-sensitive tasks over flexible ones.
35. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Ways of strict time management. B. The impact of procrastination on punctuality.
C. Benefits of punctuality in daily life. D. Reasons for lateness and strategies to solve it.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. A 35. D

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。
At Piedmont School, everyone wanted to be on the soccer team. Laura had dreamed of earning glory for the Falcons ever since she had witnessed her older brother scoring the winning goal. On the day she joined the team, she felt like she could fly.
Unfortunately, her joy did not last long. She spent most of the matches on the bench. Walking to the car after the last game, Laura’s mother asked if she was feeling fine. Laura kept quiet and tried to smile at her mother. Having spent yet another game as a reserve, Laura had not even broken a sweat. Laura also joked that she would have baked in the hot sun if she had played. Her mother assured her that she would have another chance to play. She also cheered Laura on. Laura could only shake her head as she climbed into the seat, back hunched and face down.
A few days later, Laura’s mother found she sprawled on the couch, watching music videos on her phone, so she tried asking Laura to watch soccer videos instead. Laura looked at her mother blankly, rolling her eyes. “They won’t help me and I can’t get better by myself,” Laura said.
Sighing, her mother sank down on the couch. “Laura, for every lock, there is a key. We just have to find it. What if I film you practicing to help you find ways to improve ”
“But the season’s over, Mum. No more practice, remember ” Laura said. Her mother looked at her resolutely and insisted that the best players keep practicing even when the season is over. Laura protested, “But to practice plays, I would need at least one other person to join me! It is difficult to do that alone.”
Laura’s mother patted her and said, “We’ll find that key too, but we have to start somewhere.” While Laura’s mother was searching her wallet for her gold key, she smiled gently at Laura. She gave Laura an assuring no d before passing her the key. “This key is a reminder for you to be strong and not give up. Let’s build something tomorrow.” Laura’s mother said.

Then came the next season. On the field, one of the best players got hurt suddenly.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The next day, Laura and her mother built a goal and made a training plan. Every night before dinner, they headed to an old car garage for one hour, where Laura practised moving the ball by dodging around old tyres, pretending she was protecting the ball from the best players in the world. Her mother recorded everything secretly. When Laura’s mother showed her the videos, she saw her mistakes carefully and corrected them. Days into weeks, Laura’s leg muscles strengthened through practices and her skills improved a lot. More encouragingly, their practice attracted many children to join.
Then came the next season. On the field, one of the best players got hurt suddenly. Laura was sitting at her usual place, at the end of the bench when the coach came over and told her to go in. Laura was nervous, excited and terrified all at the same time. Stepping onto the court, she thought of the gold key that her mother had given — a reminder to be strong and not give up, which gave her courage and confidence. Instead of being afraid, she was “pumped” and quickly found that all her extra work was paying off. Won! Laura’s team won!
