Rolland and Adeline are proud parents to nine beautiful children. Their youngest two, daughter Lanto, and son, Rindra, were both born with cleft lip （唇裂） conditions. In Madagascar, many families have never seen a cleft lip before, so it’s a condition often greeted with fear and misfortune in some rural communities.
However, the news of Lanto and Rindra’s cleft lip wasn’t much of a shock for Rolland and Adeline because Rolland’s cousin—a man in his fifties—had lived his entire adult life with an untreated cleft lip. Although seeing a relative with a cleft lip meant the family weren’t fearful of the condition, they knew the negative impact an untreated cleft lip can have on a person’s health and life. As any loving parents would, Rolland and Adeline wanted a better future for their children.
Rolland heard an advertisement on the radio about an Operation Smile surgical programme in Antsirabe, Madagascar. Finding out that Rindra and Lanto could have the cleft lip surgery they needed, for free, was a dream for the family. Unlike here in the UK, health services aren’t free in many parts of the world, and the costs of treatment—or even travelling to reach medical facilities—are out of reach for most families.
When Rolland and his children arrived at the patient village, they were surprised to see so many other families in the same position. After a thorough medical evaluation by medical volunteers, Lanto was found to be fit enough for surgery, and later got the new smile her parents had dreamed of for her. But, for younger brother Rindra, the journey to a new smile would take a little longer.
Operation Smile has provided hundreds of thousands of safe surgeries for children with cleft lip conditions worldwide. For more information about our work or to find out how you can help, visit www.operationsmile.org.
（ ）24．What do most people think of cleft lip in Madagascar
A．It is incurable. B．It is unlucky. C．It is normal. D．It is unavoidable.
（ ）25．What kept the couple from being scared of their children’s situation
A．Their children’s smile. B．Their love for their parents.
C．Their relative’s experience. D．The advertisement they saw.
（ ）26．What should be done before deciding on a surgery
A．Having a health check. B．Staying in hospital.
C．Seeking for a doctor. D．Paying for surgery.
（ ）27．What is the purpose of the information in the last paragraph
A．For clarification. B．For copyright. C．For comment. D．For donations.

With a brain the size of a pinhead, insects perform fantastic navigational （导航的） abilities. They avoid obstacles and move through small openings. How do they do this, with their limited brain power Understanding the inner workings of an insect’s brain can help us in our search towards energy-efficient computing, physicist Elisabett a Chicca of the University of Groningen demonstrates with her most recent result: A robot that acts like an insect.
In search of the neural （神经的） mechanism that drives insect behaviour, PhD student Thorbe n Schoepe developed a model of its neuronal activity and a small robot that uses this model to navigate. Schoepe’s model is based on one main principle: always steer towards the area with the least apparent motion.
He had his robot drive through a long “corridor”—consisting of two walls with a random print on it—and the robot centred in the middle of the corridor, as insects tend to do. In other virtual environments, such as a space with obstacles or small openings, Schoepe’s model also showed similar behaviour to insects.
“The model is so good,” Chicca concludes,” that once you set it up, it will perform in all kinds of environments. That’s the beauty of this result.”
The fact that a robot can navigate in a realistic environment is not new. Rather, the model gives insight into how insects do the job, and how they manage to do things so efficiently.
Chicca explains, “Much of robotics is not concerned with efficiency. We humans tend to learn new tasks as we grow up and within robotics. This is reflected in the current trend of machine learning. But insects are able to fly immediately from birth. An efficient way of doing that is hardwired in their brains. In a similar way, you could make computers more efficient.”
（ ）28．Why does Chicca want to study how the insect brain works
A．To understand the habit of insects. B．To make use of insects’ brain power.
C．To make computers more efficient. D．To reveal the inner part of insects’ brain.
（ ）29．What does the underlined word “steer” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Stretch. B．Stare. C．Work. D．Drive.
（ ）30．How did Chicca feel at the performance of her robot
A．Satisfied. B．Shocked. C．Regretful. D．Confused.
（ ）31．What are the last two paragraphs mainly about
A．How to make a robot that acts like an insect.
B．Why insects navigate more efficiently than robots.
C．Why a robot can navigate in a realistic environment.
D．How humans tend to learn new tasks as they grow up.
D
We cannot argue with reality. We cannot argue with science. Therefore, we simply cannot argue with the fact that there are no straight lines in the universe.
Let’s start with science. The science of a straight line falls under the subject of physics. It might seem like a complicated topic, but the theory behind it is pretty simple. If you start rowing in a boat from one place and keep sailing, the concept of the curved （弯曲的） Earth will take you in a circle and you will end up where you started. The brain forms the concept of a straight line to simplify what you see in nature. Consider it a tool for the mind to recognize reality.
The concept of straight lines was controversial and heavily influenced the politics and society of Europe from the 15th century to the 17th century. Greek thinkers and scholars like Aristotle in the 5th century already proved that the Earth was a globe, but many Europeans at that time did not believe in this idea! However, some Europeans during the Age of Exploration denied this belief. Just as the famous Italian scientist Galileo Galilei was persecuted （迫害） for advocating a heliocentric （日心的） model of the solar system, many thinkers like Giordano Bruno were shamed for believing that the Earth was round.
Well, my friends, let’s move on to life. The concept of nothing going in a straight line can be associated with life as much as it relates to science and architecture. Whenever you do something, it never turns out to play out exactly as planned. I especially know that as a thirteen-year-old! Life is a rough road—every time you go forward, it is followed by two steps back or to the side. Just like how science explains it, life is a curvy path full of unexpected twists, turns, and adventures that nobody can ever predict.
（ ）32．What does paragraph 1 function as
A．An explanation of a common sense. B．A means to attract readers.
C．An introduction to the topic. D．A proof of the author’s opinion.
（ ）33．What would happen without the concept of straight line
A．The mind could not recognize realities.
B．Things in nature might look complicated.
C．What you see in nature could seem simple.
D．People in the 16th century might find the Earth flat.
（ ）34．Which can best describe the road of proving the Earth round
A．Plain and smooth. B．Easy but fruitless. C．Long and tough. D．Bothersome but safe.
（ ）35．What’s the best title for the text
A．A Straight Line: Everything Simple B．A Straight Line: People’s Good Wish
C．A Straight Line: Difficult To Prove D．A Straight Line: Simply Nonexistent

Families differ from each other. Some are traditional and seem to be perfect; some are dysfunctional, but tend to still be strong; some are so calm, but controlled and some seem to be rich and have everything, but lack love. 36 I’ve come up with some qualities that would make a great family.
Give credit and appreciate. One of my best memories as a child is when my report card came out with good grades. I then showed it to my parents and they would give me treats, new toys or even money. 37 Appreciation for small and large things alike is important to boost one’s self-esteem and express the love you have for each other.
Talk to each other. 38 They tend to choose family members (and not friends or neighbors) as their first resort to express their emotions, talk about their fears or desires and help solve their problems. Their meal times are always full of positive conversation and exchange of ideas. And more importantly, they lay out specific ground rules, know their limitations and know a lot about the members of their family.
39 No matter how perfect you think your family is, there will come a time that it will be tested, and problems will hit you right in your face. Strong families should learn how to combine all the above qualities and use it to survive every difficulty.
Spiritual wellness. Some might disagree that spiritual wellness is important to a family, but truly, a great family has strong faith and belief no matter what their religion is. When a family has a strong spiritual foundation, they are just more loving and understanding, thus making them stronger. 40
A．So do you feel the same way
B．Never conflict with family members.
C．The ability to deal with stress, conflict and crisis.
D．So the old question is, what makes a great family
E．Strong families have an effective communication environment.
F．Simple showing of appreciation is one of the qualities of a great family.
G．So invest in your family’s spiritual wellness and learn to be optimistic.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
An international team of astronomers used a database combining observations from the best telescopes in the world 56 (detect) the signal from the active supermassive black holes of dying galaxies （星系） in the early universe. The 57 (appear) of these active supermassive black holes is related to changes in the host galaxy. This means a black hole could have far reaching effects 58 the evolution of its host galaxy.
The Milky Way Galaxy 59 we live includes stars of various ages, including stars still forming. But in some other galaxies, 60 (know) as elliptical （椭圆的） galaxies, all of the stars are old and about the same age. This indicates that early in 61 (they) histories elliptical galaxies had a period of rich star formation that suddenly ended. Why this star formation stopped in some galaxies 62 not others is not well understood. One possibility is that a supermassive black hole disrupts （瓦解） the gas in some galaxies, 63 (create) an environment unsuitable for star formation.
To test this theory, astronomers look at distant galaxies. Due to the limited speed of light, it takes time for light to travel across the void of space. The light we saw last night from an object 10 billion light years away 64 (travel) for 10 billion years to reach Earth. Thus the light we see today shows us what the galaxy looked like when the light left that galaxy 10 billion years ago. So looking at distant galaxies is like looking back in time. But the longer distance also means that distant galaxies look 65 (small), making study more difficult.

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。
As I was looking for a new flat, I was temporarily staying at a lovely small hotel. Unfortunately, during that time, I was due to participate in an online conference for an entire week. I was stuck inside from 10: 00 am until 5: 00 pm, the entire duration of the cleaning hours. I figured that I could go those five days without my room being cleaned and it wouldn’t be a problem. I would just put a “Do Not Disturb” sign on my door.
On the second day as I was heading to get breakfast at the hotel, I bumped （撞见） into the cleaning lady named Anna. I asked her if I could give her my rubbish, and I mentioned that I would be working the entire day so she needn’t worry about cleaning my room. She smiled and said it was okay.
The next day, when I returned from my breakfast, my room had already been cleaned. The same happened on the following day. On Friday, I finished my breakfast quicker than usual and the cleaning lady was just heading out. She smiled and said that she was happy that even though I ate quicker than usual, she was still able to finish in time.
I finally realized that all this time, she had been keeping an eye on when I headed for breakfast so she could clean my room. Given that looking for a flat in a new city and working in one of the smallest hotel rooms in London were already very stressful, I was incredibly moved. I thanked Anna and told her that, fortunately, it was the very last day of the conference, but I was very thankful.
The following week, I finally got the keys for my new flat. Excited and grateful for all the help I had received while moving in, I bought a box of chocolates and made my way to the receptionist.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I said to the receptionist, “Could you please give those to Anna ” After a while, Anna arrived, looking slightly puzzled.

M: Most camera shops can’t compete with Internet prices. In fact, the same is true for other shops.
W: What are you going to buy
M: Some memory cards. There’s a sale on today.
W: Do you still take photographs professionally
M: Sometimes people ask for pictures of their kids, but usually I just take pictures of plants and animals for pleasure. I am taking pictures for a wedding on Saturday, though.

(Text 10)
M: Mrs. Brown will never forget the day, the 14th of July, when she and her family were at a picnic and Sam, her three-year-old son, ran across the busy road nearby. Halfway across, the little boy suddenly fell to the ground when a truck was coming towards him very fast. Just then, a tall strong man called David rushed into the road and held up his hand to the truck driver to stop. The truck came to a stop just before them, and David carried the boy off the road. The boy was saved. This was not the first time for David. Once he learned that a poor woman couldn’t buy enough food for her children. He got baskets of food ready and the next day the woman was surprised to find her car filled with a lot of food. It is nothing new to his family and the people in the town. David is always ready to give a helping hand to others. He often says to people, “Everyone is happy when you do well to others.”

Dear Jeffrey,
How is it going with you I am writing to inform you that we will have an English speaking test next week. This test is an important part of our language learning process and it assesses our ability to communicate effectively in English.
I would like to ask if you could help me by participating in a mock speaking test with me. It would be a great opportunity for me to practice and improve my speaking skills. We can choose a convenient time and find a quiet place to have the test.
Please let me know if you are available and willing to help. Looking forward to your response.
Best regards,
Li Hua
第二节
参考范文：
I said to the receptionist, “Could you please give those to Anna ” The receptionist, a warm and friendly man looked at me in confusion and I continued, “She’s the cleaning lady who has been taking care of my room every day during my stay here. I really appreciate all the extra effort she put in to make sure my room was clean, even when I thought it didn’t need to be. I want to show her my gratitude.” The man smiled and nodded in understanding. “Please wait a moment, Anna is in the building. I’ll call her, and you can thank her in person.”
After a while, Ann a arrived, looking slightly puzzled. When she saw the box of chocolates, her eyes lit up with surprise and joy. She thanked me earnestly, clearly touched by the gesture. It was heartwarming to see her smile and know that I had made her day just as she had made mine. This simple act of appreciation made me realize the impact of showing gratitude and kindness to others, even in small ways. From that day on, I made it a point to always express my appreciation for the hard work of others, just like Anna had done for me.
