Being cut from a school team can be a difficult experience for a kid. But when 13-year-old Emmie Tallent who has Down syndrome (唐氏综合征) didn’t make her school’s cheer squad (啦啦队), she responded in the most impressive way — she cheered anyway. Emmie Tallent, agirl with firm determination, took to the sidelines while her school’s cheer squad performed. She matched the entire routine, moving for moving, in a black dress and tie-dyed shoes.
Her sister, Sydnee, recorded this moment on video, and it’s now capturing hearts worldwide. The video, with over 3 million views and 87,000 likes, shows Emmie facing the official squad and performing the routine alongside them. Her performance is nothing short of inspiring. “Girl didn’t make the cheer team, but she didn’t care,” Sydnee wrote, admiring Emmie’s confidence.
“Emmie may not be on the cheer team this time, but I’m sure her talent and spirit will shine through somewhere in the future,” Sydnee said with a smile. “Right now, she’s satisfied and happy doing what she loves. Thank you all for supporting her. I want to show the world Emmie’s joy from pursuing what she likes and the beauty of diversity.”
The team did not have a lot of spots and even neurotypical (神经正常的) girls who were much better than Emmie didn’t make it to join it. Emmie’s school was giving Emmie help and kept encouraging her, but there are hard decisions that have to be made sometimes. Though Emmie didn’t make the squad, she wasn’t feeling upset at home, and continued to follow cheer squad’s routines and moves to please herself and spread joy to others, even if from the sidelines.
In the face of rejection, this tough 13-year-old chose to dance rather than sit by and let it define her, inspiring us all to embrace our uniqueness and find joy in every moment.

Award-winning Chinese shoe designer, Huang Qinqin, shares her transformative journey, combining cultural heritage and international design to shape the art of practical wear.
Believing that the value of her products doesn’t lie in business operation, Huang always focuses on how to convey the stories behind her shoes to customers instead.“It is like storytelling, a natural ability I possess,” she said with a smile.
However, Huang’s journey into design was unforeseen and it took her several years to discover her true passion. Huang switched her major from physics to international communications studies at university.While she found great enjoyment in these courses, she still didn’t know what she could do in the future.
“One day, I grabbed a sheet of paper and began drawing some shoe designs I saw online.It was at that moment that the light suddenly dawned.” recalled Huang.
To her astonishment, Huang discovered while international luxury shoe brands like Jimmy Choo and Christian Louboutin are household names, Chinese brands are rarely seen.This finding fueled Huang’s determination to pursue her career as a shoe designer, hoping to fill the blank in the international market.
After returning to China from the UK, Huang established her own shoe brand.“I think Chinese students studying abroad today all share a strong sense of mission—to showcase what China truly has to offer to the world,” Huang said.
Looking back, Huang said that she took a long time to finally find her lifelong passion.“There is a saying that one must achieve fame at a young age, but I believe it is never too late to unlock one’s potential, since everyone operates on their unique ‘time zone’,” she said.
Before her current career path, Huang never stopped trying new things, including garden design and dance.These diverse experiences have all become precious treasures in her life, nurturing her self-directed learning abilities, which have turned out to be essential skills for her startup business today.
28．What does Huang value most about her products
A．Design concept. B．Market share.
C．Quality standard. D．Business operation.
29．What further motivated Huang Qinqin to be a shoe designer
A．Passion for fashion and design.
B．Lack of Chinese brands in the field.
C．Desire to challenge conventional norms.
D．Love for international luxury shoe brands.
30．What can best describe Huang
A．Creative and flexible.
B．Ambitious and easy-going.
C．Talented and accessible.
D．Responsible and humorous.
31．What might Huang agree with
A．Well begun is half done.
B．Think twice before you leap.
C．Every step counts in your life.
D．It matters much when you succeed.

The Global Food Donation Policy Atlas has issued a recent report in order to recommend ways to increase food donations, reduce food waste, and fight hunger, which may help Kenyan leaders meet 2030 food waste reduction goals.
Food donation can reroute eatable food—that would otherwise give off greenhouse gasses in a landfill—to those experiencing hunger. According to the Famine Early Warning Systems Network, 3.5 million Kenyans, roughly 37 percent of the population, face severe hunger. At the same time, the Policy Atlas reports roughly 40 percent of food produced within Kenya goes to waste. But Broad Leib, Deputy Director of Harvard Law School Food Law and Policy Clinic (FLPC), sees some promising changes. “While progress is not happening as quickly as needed, Kenya’s food loss index has been steadily reduced from 1,744 metric tons in 2017, to 1,531 in 2018, to 1,446 metric tons in 2019, indicating a steady improvement and national commitment to food loss reduction,” reports Broad Leib.
According to the Policy Atlas, motivating food donation with rewards is particularly important, which helps food donors and food recovery organizations make up for costs necessary for recovery, storing, processing, and transporting food for donation.
“A major driver of food waste is inconsistent or unclear date labels that cause confusion among all actors along the value chain and limit the ability of businesses to donate food. This increases the likelihood that much safe food will go to waste,” Broad Leib tells Food Tank. However, he acknowledges Kenya’s current dual (双的) date labeling laws. While food may lose its freshness over time, it is still eatable before expiration (到期). Dual date labeling on packaged foods reduces bewilderment by defining dates for both safety and quality. This helps reduce considerable waste and responsibility for donors.
Broad Leib believes that the private sector can also play a significant role in decreasing food waste in Kenya. It is vital for consumer education campaigns. FLPC’s research shows that public-private initiatives can help raise awareness among consumers and donors around issues of food waste and food donation.
32．What changes does Broad Leib see
A．People in Kenya no longer suffer hunger.
B．Kenya has gradually reduced its food waste.
C．Kenya is not committed to reducing food loss.
D．Progress in reducing food waste is happening quickly.
33．What does the underlined word “bewilderment” mean in Paragraph 4
A．Sadness. B．Convenience. C．Confusion. D．Emotion.
34．How can Kenya reduce food waste according to Broad Leib
A．By increasing storehouses.
B．By fighting hunger with rewards.
C．By reducing food produced within the country.
D．By using double date labeling on packaged food.
35．What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．Consumer education campaigns are the most important.
B．Only the private sector is helpful in reducing food waste.
C．Private and public joint efforts matter around food issues.
D．Broad Leib doesn’t agree with FLPC on food waste reduction.

Finding Niesha’s Courage
Niesha could not forget the way she had frozen in front of the class today. Mr Roberts had divided the class into groups to do presentations. Today had been Niesha’s turn. However, her hands had shaken so badly that she couldn’t read her notes. Her voice had become softer even to silence. Mr Roberts kindly ended Niesha’s part of the presentation even though she had clearly not finished. He had also asked Niesha to stay after class for a moment.
“Niesha, I know you’re shy, but you worked hard on this project. I’d hate to see you give up on yourself.” Mr Roberts had hesitated, “If I give you another chance tomorrow, do you think you can find, your courage ”
Niesha had nodded, grateful for the chance. She had gone as quickly as she could to her next class. She had kept her head down and hoped the school day would end soon.
When she reached her back steps that afternoon, she could see an inviting light coming from the kitchen windows. Momma was baking.
Momma studied Niesha’s face as she came into the kitchen. “What’s wrong, Niesha ”
Tears shone in Niesha’s brown eyes. She told her the whole story. Momma was silent for a moment, her hands still busy with the cake.
“Why is it that you can talk to me about anything and everything, but you can’t talk to your class ” Momma asked. She set the timer and then said, “Let me show you something.”
Niesha followed Momma to her bedroom. There Momma showed her a book filled with newspaper clippings and pictures. In it there was a blue ribbon that said “First Place” and a picture of herself when she was very young, standing with her parents.
“I won it for public speaking. I started the school year as the shyest girl on the speech team, but I ended the year as the blue ribbon winner. It wasn’t easy because I was lacking in confidence—not sure of myself at all. I worked hard, and mostly I faced my fears. You just need to find your courage.”

1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
That was the second time someone had told her that today.

The next day Niesha again walked to the front of the classroom to give her presentation.

【原文】
Many of you may sit at a desk in an office all day. You worry about your health. Some evidence suggests a relationship between health problems and the time we spend sitting. But sitting at a desk may not be as bad for your health as sitting in front of a television after work. It is a finding of a study done in the United States led by Jeanette Garcia. Garcia works as a researcher at the University of Central Florida in Orlando. “We’ve been hearing that sitting is as bad as smoking,” she said. The study followed close to 3,600 African-American adults. Almost one-third of them watched TV for more than four hours a day. Nearly one-third of them spent between two and four hours a day sitting in front of the TV. The rest watched TV for less than two hours a day. Compared to people who watched TV for less than two hours daily, those who spent more than four hours watching TV were 49% more likely to die or have a heart attack. Actually, doing physical activities is definitely beneficial. For example, walking to work should be encouraged if your company is not far from home.

【导语】本文是一篇人物专访。文章主要围绕获奖的中国鞋履设计师黄沁沁展开，详细描述了她的职业旅程、设计理念、人生经历以及对未来的展望。
28．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Believing that the value of her products doesn’t lie in business operation, Huang always focuses on how to convey the stories behind her shoes to customers instead. (她认为产品的价值不在于商业运作，而是专注于如何将鞋子背后的故事传达给顾客。)”可知，她认为产品的价值不在于商业运营，而是如何向顾客传达鞋子背后的故事。因此，她最看重的是产品的设计理念，即如何通过设计来传达故事和情感。故选A。
29．细节理解题。根据文章第五段“To her astonishment, Huang discovered while international luxury shoe brands like Jimmy Choo and Christian Louboutin are household names, Chinese brands are rarely seen. This finding fueled Huang’s determination to pursue her career as a shoe designer, hoping to fill the blank in the international market.(令她惊讶的是，黄女士发现，虽然像Jimmy Choo和Christian Louboutin这样的国际奢侈鞋品牌家喻户晓，但中国品牌却很少见到。这一发现让她下定决心成为一名鞋子设计师，希望填补国际市场的空白。)”可知，当黄沁沁发现鞋子市场缺乏中国品牌时，她决定要成为一名鞋子设计师，希望填补国际市场上中国品牌鞋的空白。故选B。

31．推理判断题。根据文章第七段“Looking back, Huang said that she took a long time to finally find her lifelong passion. “There is a saying that one must achieve fame at a young age, but I believe it is never too late to unlock one’s potential, since everyone operates on their unique ‘time zone’,” she said(回首往事，黄说她花了很长时间才最终找到自己毕生的爱好。她说:“俗话说，出名要趁早，但我相信释放一个人的潜力永远不会太晚，因为每个人都有自己独特的‘时区’。)”以及最后一段“Before her current career path, Huang never stopped trying new things, including garden design and dance. These diverse experiences have all become precious treasures in her life, nurturing her self-directed learning abilities, which have turned out to be essential skills for her startup business today.(在走上现在的职业道路之前，她从未停止尝试新事物，包括花园设计和舞蹈。这些不同的经历都成为她人生中宝贵的财富，培养了她自主学习的能力，而这些能力也成为她今天创业的必备技能。)”可知，黄沁沁表示她花了很长时间才找到自己一生的热情所在，并指出“我相信，每个人都有自己独特的‘时区’，解锁潜力永远不会太晚。”这表明她重视人生的每一步，并认为每一步都是重要的。而她认为自己曾经做的每件事，尝试过的新事物，都培养了她的能力，而这些能力也成为了她成功的必备技能。由此可知，她重视的不是成功的时刻，而是过程中的每一步。故选C。

33．词义猜测题。由第四段“A major driver of food waste is inconsistent or unclear date labels that cause confusion among all actors along the value chain and limit the ability of businesses to donate food. (造成食物浪费的一个主要原因是日期标签不一致或不清晰，这会导致价值链上所有参与者的困惑，并限制企业捐赠食物的能力)”可知，日期标签不确定性会导致困惑并限制捐赠能力，所以划线所在句中通过明确安全日期与品质日期的方式会减少此类困惑，划线词“bewilderment”此处表示“困惑”的含义。A. Sadness.悲伤；B. Convenience.便利；C. Confusion.困惑；D. Emotion.情感。故选C。
34．细节理解题。根据第四段“Dual date labeling on packaged foods reduces bewilderment by defining dates for both safety and quality. This helps reduce considerable waste and responsibility for donors. (包装食品上的双重日期标签通过明确安全和质量日期来减少困惑。这有助于减少大量浪费，对捐助者负责)”可知Broad Lib认为使用双日期标签能减少肯尼亚的食物浪费。故选D。

37．分析文章结构可知，此处是本段中心句。下文“In order to make a change, you need to decide why it’s important. Do you want to get up in time to have breakfast with your family, get in some exercise or just be better prepared for your day Once you are clear about your reason, tell your family or roommates about the change you want to make.(为了做出改变，你需要决定为什么它是重要的。你想准时起床和家人一起吃早餐，做些运动或者只是为你的一天做更好的准备吗？一旦你清楚了你的理由，告诉你的家人或室友你想要做的改变。)”可知，本段主要讲要找到自己的动机，B项“Find the right motivation.(找到正确的动机。)”符合，能概括本段内容，故选B。

39．根据本段中心句“Keep your sleep/wake schedule on weekends.(周末保持你的睡眠/起床时间表)”可知，本段主要建议人们在周末也要坚持自己的作息时间，上文“But compensating (弥补) on the weekends actually feeds into your sleepiness the following week, a recent study found(但最近的一项研究发现，周末的补偿实际上会让你在接下来的一周更加困倦。)”指出如果周末没有保持自己的作息时间，而是多睡觉，这实际上让自己下周更困倦，由此可知，此处强调我们应该要保持自己的作息时间，F项“Stick to your set bedtime and wake-up time, no matter the day it is.(不管是哪一天，都要坚持你设定的睡觉时间和起床时间。)”符合，对上文做出总结，故选F。
40．上文“After you’ve tried a new method for a week, take a look at your record.(在你尝试了一个星期的新方法之后，看看你的记录。)”指出我们在尝试新方法后，要自己做好记录同时进行评估，下文“If not, take another look at other methods you could try.(如果没有，再看看其他你可以尝试的方法。)”指出尝试的新方法如果不起作用，要改变方法，由此可推知，空处应该与下文对应，指出如果方法奏效，要继续使用，E项“If the steps you take are working, keep it up.(如果你采取的措施奏效了，那就坚持下去。)”符合，故选E。

That was the second time someone had told her that today. Niesha stared at the precious blue ribbon, imaging the scene where her mother tried her best to overcome her fears and pick up her courage to stand on the stage and face the audience, giving a fantastic speech.

When fatigue came, she would sit in her seat and recite the passage over and over again in order to improve her fluency.

The next day Niesha again walked to the front of the classroom to give her presentation. Though having made adequate preparations, she was still overwhelmed by great nervousness: her heart beat violently as she dragged herself to the front of the class; her face turned pale and she could hardly squeeze out any word with her absolutely blank mind. Anxiety had almost drove her crazy when suddenly, she caught sight of Mr Roberts’ smile, comforting and inspiring.

Holding the blue ribbon tight in her hand, she took a deep breath, calmed herself down and gathered her courage. “Dear fellow students,” she started...
