It is not easy to become a famous author at a young age. Writing a manuscript (手稿), finding a publishing house and reaching out to readers are all tough tasks. As a young girl aged 18, Emily Carter not only has published a book but also works for the noble cause of environmental protection. Emily uses her position to spread awareness among people to conserve our environment.
Her grandfather and others in the family motivated her to publish her poems and she did so by finally launching the book Mystic. As soon as the book was published, many people liked and appreciated her poems. Her book got much love from readers and she became a well-known figure.
Emily started writing at an early age, by penning down her life experiences in her diary in the form of poetry. The book Mystic is a comprehensive collection, from reflecting on a childhood spent in nature to the excitement of life in the city. Emily uses rhythmic descriptions of the natural surroundings, leaving the readers fascinated by the subtle differences in life and the natural world. She conveys the various moods in different situations of life and expresses her inner thoughts beautifully in the book. Her poems generate a range of emotions in the readers, thus forming a strong connection with them.
And this young girl published the book, intending to raise funds to fight climate change. All sale earnings from this book were donated to D-CAL, an organization working for environmental conservation.
During their teenage years, most young people are busy with studies or other activities, and hardly care about our environment or their contribution to society. However, Emily’s focus has always been on bringing about a positive change in society. With a passion for protecting the environment, the young environmentalist is doing her best to make her voice heard and create a better future for the coming generations.
As a girl with many talents, Emily is indeed an inspiration to many ambitious young writers.

After meeting someone for the first time, do you see yourself as a humorous person who heats up the atmosphere Or do you imagine all the ways you may have bored others If you identify with the former description, you are in the minority. Many studies show the average people take a rather low opinion of their conversational abilities and the social impressions they leave when dealing with a complicated interpersonal relationship. But on the contrary, chances are that we are often much more amiable than we think.
The mismatch between our thought of our social performance and others’ opinions of us, is known as the “liking gap”. It may restrict our ability to form healthy relationships in our personal lives, and also get in the way of beneficial teamwork. Studies conducted by Erica Boothby and Gus Cooney psychologists at the University of Pennsylvania, show that the liking gap may simply arise from too much self-reflection. “Too much self-reflection causes terrible social experiences. We are so busy worrying about the impression we’ve given and analyzing every tiny thing that we might have said wrong — for example, a slip of the tongue — that we don’t notice someone’s encouraging smile or the warmth in their eyes,” says Cooney.
“When you’re very young, you might just assume that if someone’s nice to me, then they actually feel that way about me,” says Boothby. But as we get older, however, we start to realize that people may cover up their annoyance or boredom. “There’s more uncertainty in relating someone’s actions to how they actually feel about you.” As a result, as adults, we second-guess others’ reactions.
A little self-awareness can, of course, be healthy. “It could make sense for me to call out some of my mistakes, so that I could correct them next time,” says Cooney. But many of us are far too pessimistic. And these judgements prevent us from connecting with people who may really appreciate us. So next time, don’t beat yourself up. Just walk up and have a light-hearted talk.
28. What does the underlined word “amiable” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Brilliant. B. Loose-tongued. C. Tight-lipped. D. Likeable.
29. According to Cooney, what might too much self-reflection cause
A. A terrible impression. B. A defensive interaction.
C. Unnecessary self-criticism. D. Unrealistic self-expectation.
30. What makes adults second-guess others’ reactions according to paragraph 3
A. The fear of being misunderstood.
B. The awareness of social complexity.
C. The mismatch between promises and actions.
D. The differences between cultural backgrounds.
31. Which statement will the author probably agree with
A. Go easy on people around you.
B. Avoid unpleasant comments on others.
C. Stop underestimating your social skills.
D. Engage thoughtfully and respond appropriately.
D
Could recycling be the solution to upcoming shortages in metals critical to the green energy transition As we make the transition to green energy, all those electric car batteries and transmission lines are really going to need lots of metals. We’re talking about metals such as copper and lithium (锂). And the demand has far exceeded current production.
Take lithium. According to a 2023 report from the Energy Transitions Commission, by 2030, demand for the metal is expected to soar sixfold from current production levels. Now, one way to attack these shortages could be through improved recycling and use of materials. For example, the Energy Transitions Commission report states that if we look at the predicted 30 percent supply shortage of lithium by 2030, with extensive recycling and using less lithium in future batteries, that 30 percent gap could narrow to just 10 percent.
So, that sounds great, but current recycling levels are pretty low. In the US, less than five percent of used lithium-ion batteries are recycled. One reason for this is that they are often recycled in small quantities that recyclers believe are too expensive to recover. The good news is that, as the amount of recyclable material in the system grows, recycling will become more effective and significant.
And new recycling techniques are emerging. For example, researchers in France’s atomic program have developed a process that can recover lithium from the black mass that comes from crushing automobile electric battery cells. But key recycling policies and strategies are also needed. These include regulations on the level of recycled content in end products, and on final recovery rates for materials at end of life, or implementing strong regulations to avoid recycling processes getting channeled to countries with lower environmental standards.
Now, recycling regulations are being introduced. In Europe, the Critical Raw Materials Act has a target that 15 percent of demand in 2030 for certain metals should be met by recycled supply. China has outlined requirements for the end of life for batteries. Recycling is not going to single-handedly solve the mineral supply problem.
32. What solution to energy shortage is mentioned in paragraph 2
A. Raising people’s awareness.
B. Increasing energy demand.
C. Optimizing recycling of materials.
D. Improving recycling techniques.
33. What has led to present low recycling levels
A. Lack of effective recycling. B. Poor quality of metal products.
C. Aging of equipment. D. Bad function of metals.
34. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs
A. Western countries have developed the latest recycling technologies.
B. Recycling regulations are enforced frequently in some areas.
C. Demand for all the metals will be realized by recycled supply.
D. The problem of mineral supplies cannot merely depend on recycling.
35. What does the text mainly talk about
A. Recycling can deal with metal shortage.
B. Recycling plays a crucial role in energy transition.
C. Recycling determines the transition to green energy.
D. Recycling meets the demand of energy transition.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
In the pursuit of personal and professional growth, plateaus (停滞期) are unavoidable. 36 . Here are four strategies to overcome plateaus and achieve success.
1. Find Out the Root Cause
When you are facing a plateau, there is likely something causing you to stop your progress. Identify the root cause. 37 . Are you wasting time on unnecessary activities Or are you taking on too many tasks Often, adding more tasks overloads your already tight routine and distracts (使分心) you from focusing on the most important tasks. Therefore, often removing unnecessary activities will work to overcome plateaus.
2. 38
Once you’ve identified the root cause, never tolerate problems. Instead, address and improve the situation. Yet, people often find themselves asking, “What is wrong with it ” Questions of this nature lead to responses like “Because you’re not good enough.” Instead, ask “What is not perfect yet, and how can I turn things around ” By asking empowering questions, you’ll shift your focus from the problem to the solution.
3. Track Your Habits
Carry a notepad to track your habits throughout the day, especially those contributing to plateaus. For instance, if your root cause is too much Internet use, record instances of mindless scrolling on social media. 39 . Document what you’ve learned from the book and the time spent in exercising. This practice helps you build new positive habits by enabling you to compare today’s results with those from yesterday or a week ago.
4. See Obstacles (障碍) as Opportunities
40 . If your business receives a bad review from a customer, see it as free feedback that guides you on how to improve and take your business to the next level. Always try to see different angles that others may overlook. When you view a problem as an opportunity, it has the potential to boost growth.
In the journey toward success, a plateau is not a full stop; it’s a comma that allows you to pause, reflect, and shift your mindset. So, keep moving, keep growing, and make your breakthrough.
A. Never Take Your Eyes off Your Goal
B. Focus on a 100% Solution and 0% Problems
C. Examine your daily routine and how you spend your time
D. Every obstacle can be an opportunity to turn things around
E. The key to positive results lies in concentrating on the solution
F. But remember, plateaus are just temporary pauses, not dead ends
G. Additionally, track positive new habits, like reading and exercising

Sichuan Cuisine and Hunan Cuisine are both known for their hot flavors, which might appear similar at first sight. That’s why Americans are pretty confused about how they are different.
This confusion has its roots in how Hunan food 56 (introduce) to the American public. According to Kian Lam Kho, the author of Chinese food blog Red Cook, a group of Chinese chefs are said to have trained in both Hunan 57 Sichuan Cuisines in 1945. When they later sought opportunities 58 the United States, they brought Hunan and Sichuan Cuisines to New York, where these two cooking 59 (style) were adjusted to suit local tastes.
As Kho puts it, these two cuisines offer 60 (difference) flavors. Sichuan Cuisine is characterized by the use of Sichuan peppercorns (胡椒粒), which provide 61 unique numbing feeling. On the other hand, Hunan Cuisine, 62 features the combination of fresh chilies (辣椒) and garlic to create a powerful and intense spicy taste, is famous for 63 (it) bold and burning tastes. Unlike Sichuan Cuisine, Hunan Cuisine does not 64 (typical) include the numbing sensation of Sichuan peppercorns.
“It is amazing how distinct Hunan cooking is compared to the confusing Sichuan cousin. It is truly necessary 65 (seek) out restaurants or cookbooks that faithfully capture Hunan flavors in their menus or recipes,” Kho notes.

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。
“Did you write your thank-you notes ” I asked my son, Jon. “Not yet, Mom,” Jon replied, rolling his eyes. “I’ll do it when I get back from Jim’s house.”
“Sorry, that’s not going to happen!” I snapped (厉声说). “You’re not leaving this house until you’ve written a note to everyone you came in contact with during your interview.” “Even the receptionist who was rude to me ” Jon asked with a puzzled expression. “Especially her,” I said.
Jon had just finished interviewing with his first-choice company. It was a rare opportunity, considering that jobs were in short supply. After an hour, Jon came out of his room and handed over eight thank-you notes. To my delight, they were all sincere and heartfelt — even the one to the receptionist who had been less friendly.
Before Jon left to visit his friend, he turned to me and announced, “Mom, I’m pretty sure that a thank-you note to the CEO or the receptionist isn’t going to land me this job. But if it makes you happy, then it’s worth it.” Jon was twenty-one years old, and I felt foolish telling a grown man what to do, but I also didn’t want him living in our basement for the rest of his life!
Ten days after the thank-you notes were mailed, Jon received a call from the company that he had interviewed with. When his cellphone rang for the second time, I asked, “Jon, why don’t you want to answer a phone call ” “Oh, they’re just calling to let me know that I didn’t get the job,” Jon said sadly. “I’m sorry to disappoint you, but they only give you a call when you get the job,” I explained.
For days, Jon had been worried that his school loans would be due after graduation and that he didn’t have a job lined up. He had thoroughly convinced himself that he didn’t get the job, but I knew better. Jon hesitated to answer the cellphone. But after my efforts, Jon finally gave in and went into the next room to make the call.

B
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了18岁的女孩艾米丽·卡特不仅出版了一本书，还致力于环境保护事业，用自己的影响力传播环保意识。
24. B【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“As soon as the book was published, many people liked and appreciated her poems. Her book got much love from readers and she became a well-known figure”可知，艾米丽·卡特的诗受到了读者的欢迎，这让她成了一个名人。故选B。
25. B【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知，Mystic是一个全面的诗集，从对在自然中度过的童年的回忆到对城市生活的兴奋，艾米丽用有节奏的描述来描绘自然环境，让读者对生活和自然界的微妙差异着迷。她在书中传达了不同生活情境下的不同情绪，并完美地表达了自己内心的想法。因此，这本书包含了反映不同生活阶段和情感的诗歌。故选B。
26. C 【解析】细节理解题。根据第五段中的“During their teenage years, most young people are busy with studies or other activities, and hardly care about our environment or their contribution to society. However, Emily’s focus has always been on bringing about a positive change in society”可知，艾米丽·卡特与大多数同龄人的不同之处在于她致力于创造一个更美好的社会。故选C。
27. D【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Emily uses her position to spread awareness among people to conserve our environment”和第四段内容“And this young girl published the book, intending to raise funds to fight climate change. All sale earnings from this book were donated to D-CAL, an organization working for environmental conservation”可知，艾米丽·卡特慷慨且对环保充满热情。故选D。
C
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人们往往对自己的社交表现评价过低，认为自己给他人留下的印象不如自己想象的那么好这一“喜欢差距”现象，以及这种差距产生的原因和应对策略。
28. D 【解析】词义猜测题。根据第一段内容可知，如果你认同前面的描述，那你属于少数。许多研究表明，普通人对自己在处理复杂人际关系时的交谈能力和留下的社会印象评价相当低。再根据画线词前的“But on the contrary”可知，实际情况与人们的自我评价相反。“chances are that we are often much more amiable than we think”这句话处于转折语境中，结合前文提到的关于社交印象的相关内容可推测“amiable”意为“讨人喜欢的”。故选D。
29. C 【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段中库尼说的话“Too much self-reflection causes terrible social experiences. We are so busy worrying about the impression we’ve given and analyzing every tiny thing that we might have said wrong”可推断出，库尼认为过多的自我反思会造成不必要的自责。故选C。
30. B【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知，随着年龄的增长，我们开始意识到，人们可能会掩饰自己的烦恼或无聊。把某人的行为与他们对你的真实感受联系起来存在更多的不确定性。因此，作为成年人，因为意识到社会的复杂性，所以我们会怀疑别人的反应。故选B。
31. C 【解析】推理判断题。文章主要介绍了人们往往对自己的社交表现评价过低，认为自己给他人留下的印象不如自己想象的那么好这一“喜欢差距”现象，以及这种差距产生的原因和应对策略，由此可推知，作者可能会同意“别再低估你的社交能力”这一观点。故选C。
D

32. C 【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Now, one way to attack these shortages could be through improved recycling and use of materials”可知，能源短缺的一个解决方案是优化材料的回收和利用。故选C。
33. A 【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段中的“One reason for this is that they are often recycled in small quantities that recyclers believe are too expensive to recover”可知，当前回收率低的原因是回收成本高且量少，也就是缺乏有效的回收。故选A。
34. D 【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Recycling is not going to single-handedly solve the mineral supply problem”可知，解决矿物供应问题不能仅仅依靠回收。故选D。
35. B 【解析】主旨大意题。整篇文章主要讨论的是随着世界向绿色能源转变，对关键金属的需求增加导致了潜在的短缺问题，并指出了回收在这种情况下可能起到的作用和面临的挑战。因此B项“回收在能源转型中起着至关重要的作用”最能概括文章大意。故选B。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）

第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分）
第一节 （满分15分）
【参考范文】
Dear John,
How are you Recently, I participated in a photography competition organized by my community, called “The Most Beautiful Workers”.
My photo was about a street cleaner. It showed him sweeping the streets early in the morning. The sun was coming up, and the light made everything look warm. The cleaner was very focused on his work, cleaning every part of the street. You could see the dirt and leaves he had swept up beside him.
Taking part in this activity made me deeply appreciate the hard work of all laborers. I realized how much they contribute to our daily lives. It was a meaningful experience that inspired me to see beauty in my daily life.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on this topic. Looking forward to your reply.
Best wishes,
Li Hua

I leant against the wall and heard everything he was saying. His voice started off nervous and reserved, but gradually transformed into excitement. “Yes, yes, I understand. Thank you so much for this opportunity!” I heard him say with enthusiasm. When he emerged from the room, his face was beaming with joy and disbelief. He looked at me with tears welling up in his eyes and exclaimed, “Mom, I got the job!” We hugged each other tightly, sharing this precious moment of triumph and relief.
I asked Jon the reason why he got the job with a smile. To my surprise, he told me that during the final decision-making process, his thank-you notes had made a significant impression. The HR manager mentioned that among all candidates with similar qualifications, Jon’s thoughtful gesture of writing personalized thank-you notes to everyone, including the receptionist, demonstrated exceptional professionalism and character. It turned out that my insistence on maintaining proper etiquette had inadvertently helped him stand out from other applicants. This experience taught Jon a valuable lesson about the importance of gratitude and professional courtesy in the workplace.

M: Our guest today is Amy Rowntree, who’s a fashion designer. So, what skills does a fashion designer need
W: Well, it’s useful to know about materials like wool and cotton. The most significant thing though is a knowledge of the techniques used in creating clothes.
M: And what about the current fashion scene
W: I feel that the main aim now is to make clothes easy for people to wear. And actually sports clothes are what make the most money for the fashion industry. But I’d like to see more of fashion as a kind of art.
M: Do you find it easy to think of new designs
W: Oh yes. I often get my ideas from things I see when I’m out in streets and parks. I don’t get many ideas from clothes in museums, although I know other designers do.
M: And are you working on any new projects at the moment
W: Well, my big ambition is to put on a fashion show in New York, but no luck yet! I’ve been asked to design the clothes for a film though, so I’m working on that. It’ll be out next summer.

W: Now, I’d like to introduce the leading members in the soccer club for this season. First, let me welcome Robert, the new president. He will hold all the meetings for the next two years. Robert’s son has been playing football with the club for over five years. Next, we have Gina. She’s the accountant and she will collect the fees from you for the season. Please try to give Gina your fees as early as possible in the season as the club needs the money to buy some new equipment. Also, I’d like to introduce Jason, who is the head coach for all the new members here tonight. This is the third year that Jason has been with us as the head coach and we are very lucky to have such an experienced coach at our club. He will continue to lead the teams for training terms and match days. If you want to know the details about your training, you can ask him after the meeting.
