When 19-year-old Emily Bhatnagar from Maryland，USA，found her father had stage four thyroid(甲状腺) cancer，her response was different from what you might expect.To honor her father，who she also described as her best friend，she decided to start a book drive called For Love and Buttercup，collecting books for kids with cancer.
“It was very much an overnight idea，” she explained.“I posted a message on an app called Nextdoor asking my neighbors to donate used books.I was only expecting a few here and there，but the response was truly incredible and it was just the push I needed to co-exist with my grief(悲伤) rather than letting it consume me.”
“It was absolutely heartbreaking to watch my dad go through cancer and see him lose a little bit of himself each day，but the book drive allowed me to develop a new-found sense of purpose intertwined(交织) with a greater sense of compassion to help others in any form.I wanted to help kids.They’ve always held a soft spot in my heart.”
Using tips she earned from working at her parents’ bread shop，Emily bought many books out of her own pocket.In addition，she received donations through her Amazon wishlist，which can be found in the bio(简介) of the book drive’s Internet account，@forloveandbuttercup.
Emily and her older brother spent a whole summer driving around town，loading boxes of books into their car.“It was such a privilege to know people had carried these books all their lives through generations，and they wanted to gift it to my cause.”
For Love and Buttercup has donated over 15,000 books to sick children and it is being recognized by The Washington Post，Forbes，the President’s Volunteer Service Award.

In the 1990s，the Japanese mobile phone operator DOCOMO tacked(添加) a heart symbol onto a cheap pager(传呼机) which was a massive success with teenagers.But when the company released a new version of the pager without the heart button，it caused an “outcry”．Many users even left DOCOMO and signed up for another pager company that had adopted the heart.
“That’s when I knew that symbols absolutely had to be part of any texting service，” Shigetaka Kurita said.“That was my main inspiration.” Kurita led the team at DOCOMO that designed a set of 176 characters inspired by basic concepts of things like weather，food，and feelings.They were called emoji.The first set of emojis was launched on DOCOMO phones in 1999.
Other Japanese companies quickly followed DOCOMO’s lead and developed their own versions of emoji.Since then，emojis have exploded.In 2007，the Unicode Consortium，a Silicon Valley nonprofit that standardizes software and code across platforms，began to standardize emojis as well so they would appear more or less the same across the Internet.
Emojis have been available outside of Japan since the mid-2000s through separate apps，which let users copy and paste the icons into text messages and emails.It became popular in the US when an emoji keyboard was added to Apple iPhones by 2011.
Today，emojis are part of our everyday vocabulary.They can even be used for public health purposes.For example，a mosquito emoji was approved in 2018 to raise awareness about global mosquito-borne illnesses，making it easier to communicate across cultures and languages about the public health risks of the insect.
However，emoji isn’t the equivalent of language and it isn’t ruining language，according to Internet linguist Gretchen MeCulloch.“You don’t see people putting the cat emoji for the word cat very often.In many cases，what they’re doing is adding in an extra emoji to express an additional layer of meaning on top of the words they’re saying，” said MeCulloch.“Language isn’t the only way that you communicate.”
28．What did DOCOMO realize from users’ reaction to the different versions of its pager
A．Most people preferred cheap pagers.
B．The heart symbol was users’ favorite.
C．The pager market was highly competitive.
D．Symbols mattered much in texting service.
29．Why did the Unicode Consortium standardize emoji
A．To increase its popularity.
B．To make it diverse.
C．To control its explosion.
D．To gain profits from it.
30．What is the author’s purpose in mentioning a mosquito emoji
A．To show an application of emojis in other fields.
B．To tell us emojis can cure mosquito-borne illnesses.
C．To prove emojis are part of our everyday vocabulary.
D．To suggest emojis are widely accepted across cultures.
31．What does Gretchen MeCulloch say about emoji in the last paragraph
A．It has room for improvement.
B．It adds extra meaning to language.
C．It is more powerful than language.
D．It should be used in a proper way.

For the history of life on Earth，organisms have relied on the light of the sun，the moon，and stars to find their way and schedule their lives.While the beginning of electric lighting in the late 19th century may have benefited humans，it has caused problems in the natural world.Among the impacts of artificial light at night(ALAN)，light pollution lures migrating birds to cities with shocking consequences，contributes to the alarming decline in insect populations，and convinces sea turtle babies to amble(缓行) away from the water instead of towards it.
Now，a new study from the University of Plymouth adds another disappointing finding about how ALAN is affecting the creatures with whom we share the planet：Light pollution from coastal cities can trick corals into reproducing outside of the optimum times when they would normally reproduce.
Using a combination of light pollution data and spawning(产卵) observations，researchers were able to show for the first time that corals exposed to ALAN are spawning one to three days earlier and closer to the full moon compared to those on unlit corals.“That shift may reduce the survival and fertilization success of gametes(配子) and genetic connectivity between nearby lit and unlit coral systems，” they explain.
“Corals are among the most biodiverse，economically important，and threatened ecosystems on the planet，” write the authors of the study.
“Climate change has led to mass bleaching(褪色) events.Habitat destruction，fisheries，and pollution have reduced corals substantially since the 1950s，” they write，adding：“The complete loss of corals is anticipated over the next 100 years.”
If we want to reduce the harm ALAN is causing，we could perhaps look to delay the switching-on of night-time lighting in coastal regions to ensure the natural dark period between sunset and moonrise when coral reproduction remains undisturbed.
32．Why is the first paragraph written
A．To present the topic of the text.
B．To advocate energy conservation.
C．To explain a natural phenomenon.
D．To provide background information.
33．What does the underlined word “optimum” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Possible. B．Appropriate.
C．Flexible. D．Sensitive.
34．What is the researchers’ major concern over corals
A．Extinction.
B．Losing value.
C．Terrible diseases.
D．Exposure to moonlight.
35．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Creatures Rely on Natural Lights to Schedule Their Life
B．Night-time Lighting Shortens Natural Dark Period
C．Coastal Lights Trick Corals into Early Spawning
D．Light Pollution Leads to Serious Consequences

Art Appreciation
Art appreciation is an often overlooked skill.It’s more than simply looking at a piece of art and judging it based on what we see.It requires us to look deeper，beyond the surface into the artist’s intention. 36 The following tips would help you achieve it.
The first step is to prepare yourself mentally.Before you begin viewing any artwork，take moments to clear your mind of what a piece you think should look like. 37 That’s because an artist can present a unique visual experience by combining line，shape，form，color and space creatively.
Besides，examine the artwork closely.Take note of its elements mentioned above.Consider how these elements work together to convey meaning or emotion in the piece.Notice how the work makes you feel. 38 What can I see What is the artwork saying What feelings does it arouse in me
39 Information about the artist and when the artwork was created can help you uncover the deeper symbolism present in the work that may not be immediately evident.Art is often used as a tool for social change.To appreciate art，it’s important to understand the context where it was created.The context behind a piece can be found through research and analysis.
Last but not least，sharing opinions on art also helps.Try discussing your thoughts on artwork with friends or family who may have different opinions.Taking the diverse understandings into consideration，you can approach viewing artwork from different viewpoints.As a result，you can gain a new appreciation every time you look at it. 40
A．Relevant research counts as well.
B．Engage all your senses and ask yourself questions.
C．The process can bring you a fun and educational trip.
D．Leave your feelings aside and check out the questions.
E．To sum up，communication can also do good to your art appreciation.
F．With the previous ideas，you can get well prepared for the appreciation.
G．This will help you open up to different perspectives when exploring the work.

It was still light outside and Dad wasn’t home yet.Mom told us we needed to wait for dinner so all of us could eat together.I didn’t mind.Dad worked all day cleaning pools and if he was late，it meant I could spend more time outside playing basketball with my brother.
Dad played basketball in an old-fashioned way.He always used two hands to hold the ball and he was always careful to line up his body with the basket.Each of his shots is perfectly measured so that the ball drops cleanly through the hoop.A few years before，when there had been more money to spend，Dad had bought us a backboard and a hoop and had set up a tall metal pole on the side of the driveway.It was primitive，but still，we could imagine it as a basketball court.
We would play basketball all day if Mom let us.We practiced all sorts of shots and tried to sharpen our skills by cutting around each other，sending the ball through each other’s legs and passing it behind our backs.It felt like magic holding a ball，aiming at the basket，sending it into the air and waiting for it to drop into the basket—all the problems of the world seemed to fade away.
Lately Dad didn’t see magic anywhere.He’d lost more customers to job losses.Many of Dad’s customers who had lost their jobs told him they couldn’t afford to pay Dad to clean their pools anymore.I could tell Dad was worried each night.
I squeezed past my brother to put in another layup(带球上篮)．That was when I heard Dad arriving home.“Hey，guys！” Dad said as he got out of the car.His shoulders slumped forward with tiredness.It was early and there was still a lot of light left in the sky.In the fading rays of the sun，the light revealed a lot more wrinkles on my Dad’s face than I remembered.

M：How many things can you keep in your memory at a time？In the past，some people believed that the average human mind could remember about 5 to 7 things at a time.However，according to the recent studies，scientists discover that the human mind has a memory limit of about 3 to 4 items.This means that without doing any memory tricks，the average human can only remember 3 to 4 things at a time.These things may include numbers，names，or tasks.This short-term memory is also called the working memory.Without some form of memory aid，these 3 to 4 things will only remain in a person’s memory for about twenty seconds.After that period of time，most of the things will be forgotten.Memory aids include repeating something over and over，placing items into groups or phrases，or writing things down.This is a revised theory about memory.Of course，scientists believe that some individuals have a stronger working memory than others.A stronger working memory is often related to a stronger ability to learn.They are strong learners and problem solvers.

(2025·山东日照期末)
In the 1990s，the Japanese mobile phone operator DOCOMO tacked(添加) a heart symbol onto a cheap pager(传呼机) which was a massive success with teenagers.But when the company released a new version of the pager without the heart button，it caused an “outcry”．Many users even left DOCOMO and signed up for another pager company that had adopted the heart.
“That’s when I knew that symbols absolutely had to be part of any texting service，” Shigetaka Kurita said.“That was my main inspiration.” Kurita led the team at DOCOMO that designed a set of 176 characters inspired by basic concepts of things like weather，food，and feelings.They were called emoji.The first set of emojis was launched on DOCOMO phones in 1999.
Other Japanese companies quickly followed DOCOMO’s lead and developed their own versions of emoji.Since then，emojis have exploded.In 2007，the Unicode Consortium，a Silicon Valley nonprofit that standardizes software and code across platforms，began to standardize emojis as well so they would appear more or less the same across the Internet.
Emojis have been available outside of Japan since the mid-2000s through separate apps，which let users copy and paste the icons into text messages and emails.It became popular in the US when an emoji keyboard was added to Apple iPhones by 2011.
Today，emojis are part of our everyday vocabulary.They can even be used for public health purposes.For example，a mosquito emoji was approved in 2018 to raise awareness about global mosquito-borne illnesses，making it easier to communicate across cultures and languages about the public health risks of the insect.
However，emoji isn’t the equivalent of language and it isn’t ruining language，according to Internet linguist Gretchen MeCulloch.“You don’t see people putting the cat emoji for the word cat very often.In many cases，what they’re doing is adding in an extra emoji to express an additional layer of meaning on top of the words they’re saying，” said MeCulloch.“Language isn’t the only way that you communicate.”
28．What did DOCOMO realize from users’ reaction to the different versions of its pager
A．Most people preferred cheap pagers.
B．The heart symbol was users’ favorite.
C．The pager market was highly competitive.
D．Symbols mattered much in texting service.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段首句可知，从用户对两个不同版本的传呼机的反应可以看出，心形符号这一功能在短信服务方面很重要，故选D。
29．Why did the Unicode Consortium standardize emoji
A．To increase its popularity.
B．To make it diverse.
C．To control its explosion.
D．To gain profits from it.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Since then，emojis have exploded.In 2007，the Unicode Consortium...began to standardize emojis as well so they would appear more or less the same across the Internet.”可推知，表情符号标准化是为了控制表情符号的激增，使其标准统一。故选C。
30．What is the author’s purpose in mentioning a mosquito emoji
A．To show an application of emojis in other fields.
B．To tell us emojis can cure mosquito-borne illnesses.
C．To prove emojis are part of our everyday vocabulary.
D．To suggest emojis are widely accepted across cultures.
答案 A
解析 写作意图题。根据第五段第二句“They can even be used for public health purposes.”以及下文的例子可推知，作者提到蚊子这一表情符号的目的是展示表情符号在其他领域的应用，故选A。
31．What does Gretchen MeCulloch say about emoji in the last paragraph
A．It has room for improvement.
B．It adds extra meaning to language.
C．It is more powerful than language.
D．It should be used in a proper way.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“In many cases，what they’re doing is adding in an extra emoji to express an additional layer of meaning on top of the words they’re saying”可知，Gretchen MeCulloch认为表情符号给语言增加了额外的意义。故选B。

(2025·广东湛江调研)
For the history of life on Earth，organisms have relied on the light of the sun，the moon，and stars to find their way and schedule their lives.While the beginning of electric lighting in the late 19th century may have benefited humans，it has caused problems in the natural world.Among the impacts of artificial light at night(ALAN)，light pollution lures migrating birds to cities with shocking consequences，contributes to the alarming decline in insect populations，and convinces sea turtle babies to amble(缓行) away from the water instead of towards it.
Now，a new study from the University of Plymouth adds another disappointing finding about how ALAN is affecting the creatures with whom we share the planet：Light pollution from coastal cities can trick corals into reproducing outside of the optimum times when they would normally reproduce.
Using a combination of light pollution data and spawning(产卵) observations，researchers were able to show for the first time that corals exposed to ALAN are spawning one to three days earlier and closer to the full moon compared to those on unlit corals.“That shift may reduce the survival and fertilization success of gametes(配子) and genetic connectivity between nearby lit and unlit coral systems，” they explain.
“Corals are among the most biodiverse，economically important，and threatened ecosystems on the planet，” write the authors of the study.
“Climate change has led to mass bleaching(褪色) events.Habitat destruction，fisheries，and pollution have reduced corals substantially since the 1950s，” they write，adding：“The complete loss of corals is anticipated over the next 100 years.”
If we want to reduce the harm ALAN is causing，we could perhaps look to delay the switching-on of night-time lighting in coastal regions to ensure the natural dark period between sunset and moonrise when coral reproduction remains undisturbed.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个新的研究发现：来自滨海城市的光污染会诱使珊瑚提早产卵，这一变化会对珊瑚本身产生不利影响。
32．Why is the first paragraph written
A．To present the topic of the text.
B．To advocate energy conservation.
C．To explain a natural phenomenon.
D．To provide background information.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据第一段后两句可知，第一段介绍了始于 19 世末的人造光源对自然产生的不好的影响，结合第二段阐述人造光源对于珊瑚的危害可推断，第一段的目的是提供背景信息。故选D。
33．What does the underlined word “optimum” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Possible. B．Appropriate.
C．Flexible. D．Sensitive.
答案 B
解析 词义猜测题。分析画线词所在句可知，后面的定语从句“when they would normally reproduce”修饰the optimum times，所以“the optimum times”指的是“珊瑚正常的繁殖时间”，所以画线词与appropriate“合适的，恰当的”意思接近。故选B。
34．What is the researchers’ major concern over corals
A．Extinction.
B．Losing value.
C．Terrible diseases.
D．Exposure to moonlight.
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段中“The complete loss of corals is anticipated over the next 100 years.”可知，研究人员最大的担心是珊瑚的灭绝。故选A。
35．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Creatures Rely on Natural Lights to Schedule Their Life
B．Night-time Lighting Shortens Natural Dark Period
C．Coastal Lights Trick Corals into Early Spawning
D．Light Pollution Leads to Serious Consequences
答案 C
解析 标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其根据第二段内容可知，本文主要介绍了一个新的研究发现：来自滨海城市的光污染会诱使珊瑚提早产卵，这一变化会对珊瑚本身产生不利影响，因此 C 项“海滨灯光诱使珊瑚提早产卵”为合适的标题。故选C。

Art Appreciation
Art appreciation is an often overlooked skill.It’s more than simply looking at a piece of art and judging it based on what we see.It requires us to look deeper，beyond the surface into the artist’s intention. 36 The following tips would help you achieve it.
The first step is to prepare yourself mentally.Before you begin viewing any artwork，take moments to clear your mind of what a piece you think should look like. 37 That’s because an artist can present a unique visual experience by combining line，shape，form，color and space creatively.
Besides，examine the artwork closely.Take note of its elements mentioned above.Consider how these elements work together to convey meaning or emotion in the piece.Notice how the work makes you feel. 38 What can I see What is the artwork saying What feelings does it arouse in me
39 Information about the artist and when the artwork was created can help you uncover the deeper symbolism present in the work that may not be immediately evident.Art is often used as a tool for social change.To appreciate art，it’s important to understand the context where it was created.The context behind a piece can be found through research and analysis.
Last but not least，sharing opinions on art also helps.Try discussing your thoughts on artwork with friends or family who may have different opinions.Taking the diverse understandings into consideration，you can approach viewing artwork from different viewpoints.As a result，you can gain a new appreciation every time you look at it. 40
A．Relevant research counts as well.
B．Engage all your senses and ask yourself questions.
C．The process can bring you a fun and educational trip.
D．Leave your feelings aside and check out the questions.

I have a good understanding of the importance of tea culture and its significance in the history and traditions of our region.It has been several years since I was fascinated by the art of tea making and brewing.Moreover，my excellent communication skill and ability to work well with others will make me a valuable addition to the volunteer team.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely，
Li Hua

It was still light outside and Dad wasn’t home yet.Mom told us we needed to wait for dinner so all of us could eat together.I didn’t mind.Dad worked all day cleaning pools and if he was late，it meant I could spend more time outside playing basketball with my brother.
Dad played basketball in an old-fashioned way.He always used two hands to hold the ball and he was always careful to line up his body with the basket.Each of his shots is perfectly measured so that the ball drops cleanly through the hoop.A few years before，when there had been more money to spend，Dad had bought us a backboard and a hoop and had set up a tall metal pole on the side of the driveway.It was primitive，but still，we could imagine it as a basketball court.
We would play basketball all day if Mom let us.We practiced all sorts of shots and tried to sharpen our skills by cutting around each other，sending the ball through each other’s legs and passing it behind our backs.It felt like magic holding a ball，aiming at the basket，sending it into the air and waiting for it to drop into the basket—all the problems of the world seemed to fade away.
Lately Dad didn’t see magic anywhere.He’d lost more customers to job losses.Many of Dad’s customers who had lost their jobs told him they couldn’t afford to pay Dad to clean their pools anymore.I could tell Dad was worried each night.
I squeezed past my brother to put in another layup(带球上篮)．That was when I heard Dad arriving home.“Hey，guys！” Dad said as he got out of the car.His shoulders slumped forward with tiredness.It was early and there was still a lot of light left in the sky.In the fading rays of the sun，the light revealed a lot more wrinkles on my Dad’s face than I remembered.

参考范文
I thought maybe I could cheer him up.“Want to shoot a few hoops，Dad？” I asked，hoping to cheer him up.“Sure，” he said，with a weary smile.“We have some time before dinner tonight，don’t we？” I bounce-passed the ball to him，and Dad caught it effortlessly and tossed the ball cleanly through the hoop.Dad cheered for himself and slapped us a high-five.When the ball bounced off the hoop，Dad would smile and jog to retrieve the ball.As daylight faded and it got darker，each of us enjoyed the relaxation and Dad smiled brightly in a way that I hadn’t seen for a long time.
It was almost too dark to see the ball and the dinner was ready.Reluctant to step inside as I was，I rolled the ball to the corner and followed Dad as he joyfully gave me a tap on my back.It’s nice to see Dad smiling again，as if the time he spent shooting baskets with us revived him and brought back his ability to laugh a little.For a short time we helped him forget about whether his business would survive.After all，I was old enough to understand family means sticking together through thick and thin.
