I never thought my love for animals would lead me to a job at the city zoo. Last summer, when I was 16, I went there every weekend just to watch the pandas. One day, as I was drawing them in my notebook, an elderly man in a zoo uniform stopped beside me.
“Those are quite good,” he said, pointing to my drawings. “Do you know each panda has unique black areas around their eyes Like human fingerprints.” I didn’t, but from that moment. Dr. Wilson — the head vet — became my teacher.
For the next six weeks, I assisted him every morning. My main task was recording the animals’ behavior: when they ate, how they interacted, even their moods. It wasn’t glamorous work. I cleaned cages, prepared food, and once got sprayed by a very unhappy lemur (狐猴). But I also got to witness a baby giraffe take its first steps and help hand-feed a sick koala.
The most valuable lesson came unexpectedly. One afternoon, Dr. Wilson let me observe a routine checkup on the oldest tiger. When the tiger suddenly growled (低吼), I jumped back in fear. “Animals sense your energy,” Dr. Wilson said calmly. “Respect them, but don’t show fear. They’ll mirror what you give them.”
On my last day, the zoo staff surprised me with a “Junior Zookeeper” certificate (证书). Dr. Wilson wrote on it: “To the girl who sees more than just animals — she sees individuals.” Now when I visit, the pandas still chew their bamboo lazily, but I notice new details: how the youngest one always saves the tenderest (最嫩的) parts for last, just like I used to save the best candy in my Halloween bag.
4. What was the author’s major task in the zoo
A. Drawing pictures of zoo visitors. B. Hand-feeding baby giraffes.
C Helping with medical checkups. D. Recording animals’ daily habits.
5. The underlined word “glamorous” in Paragraph 3 most likely means ________.
A. Tiring and boring B. Exciting and attractive
C. Dangerous and difficult D. Simple and ordinary
6. What did Dr. Wilson teach the author about working with animals
A. Showing fear sometimes helps build trust with animals.
B. Young animals require more attention than adults.
C. Staying relaxed and respectful helps earn animals’ respect.
D. Animals can understand human language if spoken calmly.
7. Which of the following sentences best describes the author in the passage
A. The early bird catches the worm.
B. Respect opens hidden wonders.
C. All good things come to those who wait.
D. You can’t judge a book by its cover.
C
Data from the OECD (经合组织) released on December 10th shows adults in rich countries have worse reading and math skills than ten years ago. The organization tests adults(aged 16-65) every ten years on skills for daily life, from factory work to understanding news. Results from 31 countries are worrying — 20% of adults do no better than primary school kids in math and reading. Over the past ten years, reading scores went down in most countries, and math scores fell in many — even though adults have more education than before.
Changes in population, such as immigrants (移民) having trouble with the language, or people’s age explain part of this, but the trend is still bad — probably because of social media or shortcomings of education systems. Basic reading and math skills aren’t taken seriously today. People talk more about “soft skills” like social skills and the hype(宣扬) about AI makes basic skills seem old-fashioned. But OECD finds that adults failing these tests earn less, have poorer health, feel left out of politics. The gap between the best and worst performers is growing, mostly because the worst are getting worse.
What can we do to make things better First, we must keep improving kids’ education. If countries make sure every student learns strong reading and math skills early, more adults in the future will have these basics. Take England as an example — their young people do better — maybe because of their tougher exams. Second, building better adult education systems is important. Many adults today can’t afford extra classes, but if governments spend more money on free or cheap courses, more people can learn new skills. And online lessons are easier for busy people to join.
The future doesn’t have to be disappointing. If we start acting now, for kids and adults, we can change this trend and make sure everyone has the reading and math skills they need. It’s never too late to learn!
8. What problem do the OECD test results show
A. Young adults perform worse than older generations in exams.
B. Adults in rich countries spend too much time on social media.
C. About 20% of adults have math and reading skills no higher than school kids.
D. Immigrants and older people are the primary reason for the decline in basic skills.
9. Which one of the following might be a “soft skill”
A. Repairing car engines.
B. Solving math problems.
C. Team communication in meetings.
D. Text understanding for news reports.
10. What can be inferred from the example of England mentioned in paragraph 3
A. Young people in England are less influenced by social media.
B. Stricter academic test may contribute to better basic skills in children.
C. England has the most effective education system in the world.
D. Adult education programs in England are more affordable and accessible to people.
11. What does the passage mainly discuss
A. The role of technology in shaping modern trends.
B. The challenges faced by adult education systems worldwide.
C. The importance of balancing hard and soft skills in education.
D. The decline of basic skills in rich countries and ways to improve it.
D
As technology advances, batteries are getting smaller and stronger. However, traditional rigid batteries often fail to meet the needs of modern devices like health-monitoring skin stickers or brain-controlled artificial limbs. These devices require batteries that can bend and stretch naturally with the human body.
Ordinary batteries made of hard materials become unreliable when they are bent. Body movements may break their electrical paths, causing discomfort or failure. To solve this problem, scientists are developing flexible batteries using new materials. One breakthrough comes from an unexpected source — electric eels (电鳗). These creatures store energy using charged particles (带电粒子) in their cells, inspiring a new type of “Jelly Battery”.
A team at the University of Cambridge developed soft, stretchable batteries called jelly batteries. Made from water-rich hydrogels (水凝胶) (over 60% water), they copy biological systems. Unlike regular batteries, jelly batteries work perfectly even when stretched 1.5 times their original length. “They adapt to body movements, making them ideal for implants in organs like the heart or brain,” explains researcher Stephen O’Neill.
Jelly batteries create electricity like living things. They use differences in charged particles between layers, similar to nerve (神经) cells. While a single jelly battery produces only 0.1 volts (much less than a 1.5V AA battery), connecting many units can increase power. Surprisingly, they can repair themselves if damaged. “The hydrogel’s structure allows quick self-healing, perfect for extreme environments,” adds researcher Jade McCune.
Beyond medical devices, jelly batteries could change soft robotics. Flexible parts would make robots safer around humans. They might power smart gloves helping stroke patients regain hand movement. Chinese researchers also created a similar hydrogel battery that survives repeated bending and self-heals after ten breaks.
With costs similar to traditional batteries, mass production seems possible. The Cambridge team is now testing biocompatibility (生物相容性) but expects no issues since the batteries are mostly water. As wearable tech grows, these stretchable power sources could inspire endless innovations — from smart clothing to lifelike artificial limbs. The future of batteries isn’t just powerful, it’s flexible.
12. What inspired the scientists to design Jelly Battery
A. The movement of some creatures in the ocean.
B The energy storage of electric eels.
C. The biological systems copied by water-rich hydrogels.
D. The flexibility of human skin.
13. What is the main advantage of Jelly Battery mentioned in paragraph 2
A. They are cheaper to produce than regular batteries.
B. They can bend and stretch with body movements.
C. They use water as their primary energy source.
D. They store energy longer than AA batteries.
14. What can be inferred about the self-healing ability of Jelly Battery
A. It makes them suitable for extreme environments.
B. It allows daily use without charging.
C. It stops them from working in high temperatures.
D. It depends on endless power sources.
15. Which title best summarizes the main idea of the text
A. The Challenges of Developing Batteries
B. How Hydrogels Are Improving Medical Devices
C. From Electric Eels to Jelly Battery: A New Energy Era
D. The Role of Jelly in Modern Battery Technology

47. 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。
I spent almost three years in food service doing everything from washing dishes to working as a service director at a country club. Firstly, I waited tables, and it was actually one of my favorite jobs, mostly because of the people. One thing I learned is doing your job right and focusing on ensuring that your customers have the best dining experience.
During college, I worked at a place called O’Malleys. It’s not open anymore so I don’t have to worry about getting anybody in trouble, and besides, this isn’t that kind of story. Every Sunday, these two ladies and a little girl would come in, and nobody wanted to wait on them because they were super cheap and never tipped (给小费), so I volunteered, and they became my regulars. I quickly learned that it was a mom, her young daughter, and her mother. They always ordered the same thing. They’d each get water. The two women would split an entrée (主菜), and the young girl would get something off the child’s menu. And they’d leave no tip. I didn’t really care because Sunday lunch was always busy with the crowd, and their check was so small that even a 20% tip would have been just a few dollars. Besides, they were super nice, and I understood that this was their special time out. Going out just wasn’t something they could do. I did my best to treat them just like everybody else, which they appreciated.
This went on for over a year. Every Sunday, they would come in their pretty dresses, sit in my section, order the same thing they always did, and not leave me a tip… until one day, they did
That day, they came in and ordered iced tea and a soda for the girl, I knew something was up. The two ladies each got their own entree. The little girl got a full order of chicken strips. I’m not sure why I remember exactly what she ordered.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Of course, I asked what the celebration was.

A Review of Moving Mountains
Dear Mike,
I’d like to introduce you a classic Chinese fable, Moving Mountains. Yu Gong, tired of mountains blocking his village, decided to dig them out. Though others thought he was crazy, he and his later generations persevered. His great efforts finally convinced the gods to help him.
This fable attracts me with its far-reaching influence. It proves that with strong will and continuous hard work, we can break through any barrier. It’s not just a story but a guiding light, inspiring me never to give up in the face of hardships. Chinese fables truly hold invaluable wisdom!
Best wishes,
Li Hua

【答案】Of course I asked what the celebration was. The mother’s eyes sparkled with pride as she said, “I’ve been promoted at work! After all the hard work, it finally paid off. We just had to come here and have a special meal to mark the occasion.” I couldn’t help but smile along with her. I made sure their dining experience was even more special than usual, suggesting some of the best-selling desserts.
The mother said they were moving to New York the next week. She then handed me a tip that was much larger than I ever expected. “You’ve always made us feel welcome here. This is for you,” she said. Holding the money, I felt a deep sense of warmth. It wasn't just about the money; it was about the recognition of my kindness. This experience taught me that kindness is always worth it, no matter how long it takes to be rewarded.
