The morning had been a disaster. My tooth was aching, and I’d been in an argument with a friend. Her words still hurt, “ The trouble with you is that you won’t put yourself in my place. Can’t you see things from my point of view ” I shook my head stubbornly-and felt the ache in my tooth.

“ How long do I have to wait for him ” I asked impatiently.
“ Come on, he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy the artwork, ” the assistant said.
“ The artwork ”I was puzzled.

When Alex Lin was 11 years old, he came across an alarming article in the newspaper highlighting the improper handling of e-waste, such as burying outdated computers in backyards and throwing cell phones in the garbage. This is dangerous as e-waste contains poisonous chemicals and substances that can leak into the environment, getting into crops, animals, water supplies, and even humans.
“I was deeply concerned,” recalls Alex. He immediately conducted a survey to assess the situation in his town. The results were astonishing: Among the respondents, only one in eight even knew what e-waste was, let alone how to properly dispose of it.
Determined to make a difference, Alex immediately set up a project under WIN, the organization he had established with his friends two years prior to address, community issues. The WIN team publicized their efforts in the local newspaper and distributed notices to students. urging residents to bring their unwanted electronics to the school parking lot. They successfully collected over 21,000 pounds of e-waste, including outdated computers from the school system. Following this, they established a permanent e-waste drop-off center.
Recognizing the importance of reuse, which is seven times more efficient than recycling, Alex and his team began exploring ways to returnish (翻新) the old computers. He persuaded his school to integrate computer refurbishment into the curriculum, enabling students to collect, restore, and distribute 260 computers to children in need.
Realizing that a drop-off center alone was not a sustainable solution, Alex took his efforts to the state level in 2006. He spoke at the state house, advocating for a new e-waste bill that would
outlaw the dumping (倾倒) of e-waste. Along with other supporters, he engaged with lawmakers, presented slideshows, and gathered over 370 signatures. Ultimately, the bill was passed into law.
Thanks to the efforts of individuals. like Alex and his team, the message of safe e-waste disposal is gradually gaining attention. As Alex states, “Today’s technology should not become tomorrow’s poison.”

Recently, the topic of "school subject colors" has become a heated debate. Everyone seems to have strong opinions about which colors are associated (关联) with which school subjects, even if they graduated from school a long time ago. People associate school subjects with colors subconsciously (下意识地). There could be lots of reasons for these color associations, but the most common explanation is that they're based on something people learned as a kid. At many schools, kids were asked to use color folders to keep their notes and homework in. Many people got so used to using the same colors over and over again that they still associate those colors with subjects to this day.
Of course, the color of each subject is different depending on the school kids went to and the
teachers they had as well as their personal preferences. For that reason, not everyone agrees on colors.
However, a few associations are more widely accepted. For example, science, which nearly everyone thinks is green, does not spark much debate. It includes classes like chemistry, biology, and physics and they are closely related to nature. When people think of nature and the environment, green is a key color because so many things in nature are green.
People could also choose colors based on how the subjects make them feel. For example, if a subject makes them happy and excited, they might call it yellow. However, if a subject makes them angry, they could associate it with red. As for blue, if a subject is fun and relaxing, then it's likely that blue comes to mind first.
There are no right or wrong answers for the school subject debate. While the exact reason varies from person to person, it's a fascinating topic to focus on. It goes to show that just because we see something one way and someone else sees it another way doesn't mean it's wrong. It's just two different viewpoints.
12.Where do most people think their color associations come from
A. Their personal preferences. B. Their grades of each subject.
C. Their school experience as a kid. D. Their teachers' teaching methods.
13.What does the underlined word "spark" in paragraph 3 most likely mean
A. Cause. B. Reduce. C. Flash. D. End.
14.Which color will an relaxing subject probably remind people of
A. Yellow. B. Red. C. Blue. D. Green.
15.What is the best title of the passage
A. Who Likes Associating Colors to School Subjects
B. How People Associate Colors with School Subjects
C. Why People Debate over Associations with Subjects
D. What Colours People Associate with Certain Subjects

六．读后续写（满分25分）
47．阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was a Saturday. Whether it was sunny or cloudy, hot or cold, I cannot remember, but I do remember it was a Saturday because the shopping mall was packed with people. I was with my mom. Mom is short and skinny. It is easy to overlook her in a crowd simply because she is nothing extraordinary to see.
On that day we walked down the road, taking quick looks at window boutiques (精品店) because we both knew we wouldn’t be buying much, like always. I remember I was looking up at the people we passed as we walked. Ladies wore five-inch heels (高跟鞋) that clicked importantly on the floor and bright, luxury clothing. An uneasy feeling started to settle in my chest. I tried to push it out, but once it took root it refused to go. It got more unbearable with every second until I could deny it no longer; I was ashamed of my mother.
We were in a high-class neighborhood, I knew that. We lived in a small, overpriced apartment building that hung on to the edge of our county that Mom chose to move to because she knew the schools were good. As I looked at the passers-by and then turned accusing eyes on Mom. I realized for the first time that we didn’t belong there. I could see the deep wrinkles around Mom’s eyes and mouth. She wore cheap, old clothes, and shoes with the soles (鞋底) worn down. Her eyes were tired from working long hours to make ends meet and her hair was too gray for her age. I looked at her, and I was ashamed.
My mom is nothing extraordinary, yet at that moment she stood out because she was just so plain. Saying I’d meet her at the clothes store around the corner, I hurried away to the bathroom. I didn’t want to be seen with her, although there was no one important around to see me anyway. When I finally made my way to the store with hesitant steps, I found that Mom wasn’t there.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
With no other options, I had to search the other stores in the area for her.

【答案】 Dear fellow students,
As the concept of environment protection draws increasing concern, water conservation, which is vital for the survival of humans as well as other specie, has engaged growing public attention. Hence, on behalf of the Students’ Union, I call on you to save water in our daily life. To start with, switch off the tap when it is not in use. Besides, minimize daily water consumption by reusing water like flushing the toilet with fish-tank water. Additionally water-saving devices should be adopted by more families. I strongly believe a better world owes to the commitment and dedication of everyone.

读后续写
【答案】With no other options, I had to search the other stores in the area for her. Anxious to meet her again, I was afraid of the awkwardness that had accompanied us. Reluctantly and impatiently, my will to search decreased. But my assumptions were misguided. Mom stood in a high-end store, clutching an extravagant sweater. “This will suit you,” she said. I nearly nodded in haste. Upon closer inspection, her weary yet joyful expression as she offered me the sweater silenced me, revealing her profound love.
I felt ashamed of myself, facing Mom’s offer. I was frozen in disbelief, tears streaming down my face. The expensive sweater in her hands contrasted fiercely with her worn, inexpensive clothes, a proof of her sacrifice in buying me new ones. Her constant fatigue and plain
appearance stemmed from her tireless efforts to provide for me. Despite her plain appearance, her unwavering love for me shone bright. Suddenly, Mom appeared radiantly beautiful and amazing to me. I was ashamed, not of her, but of myself. “Do you want it ” she asked again. “No, thank you,” I replied, humbled by her love.
