In 2019, after retiring from her career as a social worker, Ane Freed-Kernis decided to build a home workshop and devote all of her free time to stone carving. “I might be covered head to toe in dust but I’m happy—it was something I needed more of in my life when I hit 60,” she says.
This appeal has its origins in Freed-Kernis’ childhood. Growing up on her father’s farm in Denmark, she used to wander through the fields with her eyes fixed on the ground, looking for stones to add to her collection. “I’ve always been drawn to the shapes and textures（质地）of stones,” she says.
After moving to England in 1977 and training as a social worker, Freed-Kernis soon became occupied with her busy career and the demands of raising her son. Stones were the last thing on her mind, until her father died in 2005. “He took a stone carving course in his retirement, and I always thought stone seemed so fun but never had the time to look into it myself,” she says. “After he died, I became determined to learn in his honour.”
Signing up for a week-long stone carving course at Yorkshire Sculpture Park, Freed-Kernis began to learn how to turn a block of rock into well-designed shapes. “It was really scary at the start because you would spend hours just hammering（锤打）.”
Now 65, Freed-Kernis has a thriving small business built largely through word of mouth. She creates 12 to 15 pieces a year that can take anywhere from a few days to three weeks to complete, while her prices range from 200 to 3,000. “I’m making smaller ones,” she says. “I don’t have to depend on the money much, so I want to keep prices in the range that people can afford, mainly just covering costs and labour（劳动力）.”
24. Freed-Kernis was first attracted by stones when ________.
A. she was 60 B. she was a child
C. her father died D. she moved to England
25. What can we infer about Freed-Kernis from paragraph 3
A. She never cared about her father.
B. She led a disappointing life in Denmark.
C. She spent lots of time studying stone carving.
D. She learned stone carving under the influence of her dad.
26. How did Freed-Kernis feel when she started stone carving course
A. Hopeful and proud.
B. Confident and satisfied.
C. Nervous and frightened.
D. Impatient and unprepared.
27. Why is Freed-Kernis making smaller pieces
A. They are easier to move by her.
B. They are more affordable to people.
C. She wants to save costs and labour.
D. She is too old to focus on making large ones.
C
In San Francisco, a large group of sea lions move themselves out of the bay waters and hang out on PIER 39, which is a popular tourist destination. According to dock（码头）officials, this is the most sea lions seen in the region in 15 years.
“Over 1,000 sea lions have been counted this week,” PIER 39 harbormaster Sheila Chandor told many different media. “The surge in sea lions is usually a good sign of their strong population and healthy living environment,” said Adam Ratner, Director of Conservation Engagement at the Marine Mammal（海洋哺乳动物）Center in Sausalito, California.
“California sea lions are sentinels（哨兵）of the ocean,” Ratner said. Their population to some extent reflects the health of the ocean. Therefore, seeing a large number of California sea lions is clearly a good thing.
For nearly 35 years, the slippery（滑的）residents have been a star attraction for tourists. That autumn in 1989, PIER 39 had just been repaired, but the ships had not yet been moved back. At that moment, the sea lions’ unexpected arrival not only attracted fans but also created enemies. According to a website, some dock residents and workers were scared away by the strong and very unpleasant smell and noise of their new neighbors, while others saw these animals as a bright spot after the destructive Loma Prieta earthquake.
The officials sought help from the Marine Mammal Center to find a way to deal with sea lions. Ratner said that the final decision is to let the sea lions stay and coexist with humans. “The fact proves that this is really a good thing,” he said. “This is just a proof of how we can truly work together and think about how we can share our coasts with marine mammals and other wildlife in a way that benefits all the parties involved.”
28. How does the author start the text
A. By describing a situation.
B. By answering a question.
C. By holding a conversation.
D. By comparing different opinions.
29. What does the underlined word “surge” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Sharp increase. B. Tight control.
C. Slow development. D. Sudden movement.
30. What is Ratner’s attitude to the final decision
A. Doubtful. B. Uninterested.
C. Supportive. D. Unclear.
31. What message does the author seem to convey in the text
A. Sea lions are pretty cool animals.
B. Animals and humans can live in harmony.
C. Watching sea lions might not be a proper action.
D. Sea lions should be driven out of PIER 39.
D
At some point, something will have to be done about the stuffed toys（毛绒玩具）. I haven’t counted them because, truthfully, I’m not prepared to know how many there are. Lately, our neighborhood’s message boards are filled with posts about parents trying to make space, to clear out the things their kids no longer need. The tone of some of these posts can best be described as “emergency”. “Help!” they sometimes begin. “I have to get this out of my house.”
“The proliferation（激增）of children’s toys is the outcome of a long, gradual cultural change,” says Gary Cross, a professor at Pennsylvania State University. To understand how we got here—drowning（淹没于）in all those stuffed toys and bricks—it helps to look as far back as the late 19th century. “Parents were no longer passing their jobs on to the children,” Cross says. “Instead, they connect across generations through the gifting process. From the early 20th century on, goods became the things that define relationships between family members, and the way of marking success as a family.”
Then, how can parents deal with the proliferation of children’s toys at home Naeemah Ford Goldson, a professional organizer, is also a mom of two. In her own home, Goldson likes to include her kids in the work of sorting out their toys. They know that the items they don’t need anymore will be given to people who can use them, to families who might not be as fortunate as theirs. “Doing so helps them build those habits of letting go,” she says, “so then they don’t become adults who are too dependent on material things instead of experiences, or people, and the memories we make with people.”
Her idea made sense. She told her 5-year-old they should pick some to give to kids in their community who came from another country and had to leave their toys behind. She immediately took a pink bear from the pile.
32. Why does the author present the posts in paragraph 1
A. To show the popularity of children’s toys.
B. To offer suggestions about choosing children’s toys.
C. To praise the role of social media in buying children’s toys.
D. To introduce the influence too many children’s toys bring about.
33. What has caused the huge increase of children’s toys according to Cross
A. Children’s demands.
B. The growth of technology.
C. The traditions in the 18th century.
D. The practice of gifting among family members.
34. What does Goldson do to avoid too many toys
A. Involve her kids in organizing toys.
B. Put away toys for her kids.
C. Buy her kids fewer toys.
D. Sell unwanted toys to neighbors.
35. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. The Rise of Toy Stores in Neighborhoods
B. The Importance of Choosing Proper Gifts
C. The Challenge of Managing Children’s Toys
D. The Joy of Collecting Children’s Toys

In the heart of a small village located near a thick bamboo forest in China, there lived a young girl named Lin. Lin lived with her grandmother in a small house that her grandfather had built with loving care before he passed away. Unluckily, Lin’s grandfather died before she was born. Lin never met her grandfather, but the stories her grandmother shared painted a picture of a man who was deeply loved and respected by the community.
Every day, Lin felt a great curiosity about the grandfather she had never seen but always felt close to. Her home, filled with his books and the very walls he built, stood as a living example of his hobbies and craftsmanship（手艺）. The villagers often shared tales of her grandfather’s good deeds（行为）, and they showed deep respect and support for Lin and her grandmother. This deep connection to a man she had never known filled Lin with a mix of sadness for never having met him and pride for being his granddaughter. Driven by a desire to feel closer to her grandfather, Lin often explored the house and its surroundings, hoping to find something he had left behind—something that might deepen her understanding of the man who she had never met.
One autumn morning, while Lin was helping her grandmother clean the attic（阁楼）, she found a beautifully carved wooden box hidden under a dust y floorboard. The box was locked, but to her surprise, she discovered a small note hidden in a crack of the box. It was written in lovely handwriting and said, “To my dear granddaughter, inside this box, you will find treasures of my heart, saved just for you.”
Lin’s fingers shook with expectation as she showed the note to her grandmother, who then handed her a small, old key. “Your grandfather wanted you to find this when you were old enough to understand the depth of his love,” her grandmother said, her eyes shining with tears.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Hello, everybody. Today, I’d like to talk about running. We all know that it’s free, and requires no equipment and the scenery on the road can be attractive—it’s no wonder that running is among the world’s most popular sports. The number of runners in Australia has doubled from 2006 to 2014. Now more than 1.35 million Australians run for fun and exercise. Research has found running helps to reduce the risk of being overweight, high blood pressure, heart disease and cancer. However, you don’t have to run fast or far to get the benefits. We found that running just for about 50 minutes a week is OK. This is good news for those who don’t have much time on their hands for exercise. But it shouldn’t discourage those who enjoy running longer and more often. We found that running every two days or four hours a week is also beneficial to health. But running too fast is not necessarily more beneficial. We found the best benefits for running at any speed between 8 and 13 km/h. It might be that running at your own “most comfortable speed” is the best for your health.

Dear Marie,
I’m Li Hua. I’d like to suggest a fascinating topic for our reading class: Chinese Traditional Culture. This topic is not only rich in history and depth but also offers a unique perspective on the world’s oldest continuous civilization.
The reasons I’m recommending it are as follows. Firstly, it can broaden our students’ horizons by exposing us to the diverse and profound aspects of Chinese culture, including its art, literature, philosophy, and customs. Secondly, understanding Chinese culture can enhance our appreciation for the country’s contributions to global society and foster a deeper respect for cultural diversity.
Looking forward to discussing the issue further with you and the class. Thank you for your attention.
Yours,
Li Hua

参考范文：
With a deep breath, Lin unlocked the box. Inside, she discovered a series of her father’s belongings: old maps from his travels, a faded photograph of him standing by the Great Wall, and several small, handcrafted toys he had made. At the very bottom, wrapped in a silk scarf, was a diary. Lin carefully picked it up and opened it, her eyes scanning the pages where her grandfather had documented his thoughts, dreams, and daily life. It was like hearing his voice for the first time—a voice filled with warmth and wisdom.
From that day on, the diary became Lin’s most cherished（珍爱的）item. Whenever she felt sad or missed her grandfather deeply, she would open the diary. His words not only brought her comfort, but also filled her with courage and hope, as if he were still watching over her, encouraging her to face life with a brave heart just like he had. Through the diary, Lin found not just stories of the past but a continual presence that connected her to the grandfather she never got the chance to know.
