Jen Miller isn’t your typical librarian, because she’s also a TikTok star. There are dozens of books placed on top of her shelves, waiting to be processed and shelved or to have their spines (书脊) and covers repaired. She’ll broadcast that process for her more than 450,000 followers once the school day ends.
Miller’s account, “Meet Me in the Media Center,” is a fixture on “LibraryTok,” a community of creators who also happen to be librarians. As budget (预算) cuts threaten the familiar spots many are attached to, Miller and other members of LibraryTok are bringing joy back into the library experience. “I just want students to love to read and feel welcome here,” Miller told CNN. “I don’t want them to stress about late fees or damaged books—just to feel safe.”
Since joining TikTok in 2023, Miller has attracted an enthusiastic fanbase of viewers who enjoy watching her do her job. There’s an everyday appeal to Miller’s content, which resonates (共鸣) with many viewers nostalgic (怀旧的) for their school days. It’s there in the familiar sound her scanner (扫描仪) makes when a book is returned on time, or in the joy viewers get when they spot books on her shelves that they loved reading in middle school. Miller said commenters have repeatedly referred to her as a “comfort creator,” a view she considers as “the highest praise ever.”
Some viewers have been inspired to support their favorite LibraryTok personalities offline. Miller started the “Library Love” series to feature different librarians seeking donations for items like picture books, desks and cleaning supplies. Her followers bought out the entire wishlists of seven libraries, she said.
Miller didn’t have TikTok until she started her account and had only heard about the “negative sides” of the app. Upon her entry into the “LibraryTok” space, she found the opposite could be true.
24．What does Miller broadcast on TikTok
A．Roles of school libraries.
B．Recommendations of books.
C．Behaviors of her followers.
D．Aspects of her job.
25．What earns Miller the title “comfort creator”
A．Sharing beloved books with viewers.
B．Recording familiar school sounds.
C．Bringing back warm school memories.
D．Introducing common library tools.
26．Why does the author mention “Library Love” series
A．To promote offline donation methods.
B．To inspire students to read books.
C．To show Miller’s influence on fans.
D．To seek supplies for libraries in need.
27．Which of the following words can best describe Miller
A．Responsible and generous.
B．Devoted and creative.
C．Humorous and professional.
D．Comforting and sensitive.
Back in 1986, researchers Bob Sevfarth and Dorothy Cheney took baby rhesus (恒河猴) and Japanese macaque monkeys (猕猴) and switched (换) them shortly after birth. Each was placed in a socially similar but acoustically (听觉上) different environment. The question: Can animals actually develop regional accents or language in the same way a Boston human will unavoidably pronounce “park” as “pahk”
For decades, scientists have leaned on the idea that animal communication is more dependent on genetics than the environment. A dog is not going to learn to “meow” just because it’s raised around cats. But it’s possible for animals to develop more slight sound changes than their earlier generations.
A large number of studies have observed animals changing their communication depending on their environment. Chaffinch birds raised alone don’t sing as complicated as those raised with others, which gives them a local accent. Other songbirds change their tunes based on what locals are doing. White-crowned sparrows will combine elements of several different songs in different ways depending on where they are.
The same has been proved in goats. One 2012 study found that younger goats change the sounds they make to match the sounds of goats they’ve just met in a social setting.
Some animal experts say that certain species use accents to tell peers (同伴) from distrusted strangers. It’s not that a goat, or bird, should fear their peers; it’s that an unfamiliar sound may signal attackers, and sensing dangers is key to the survival of a species.
As for those switched-at-birth animals, typically, rhesus monkeys like to make a noise known as a “gruff” when playing while Japanese macaques usually make a “cooing” sound. Both species can use the same noises, just in different situations. But their foreign environment made almost no difference in their accents.
28．What did researchers try to find out about animals according to paragraph 1
A．How they can copy human accents.
B．How they can tell apart human accents.
C．Whether they can communicate with humans.
D．Whether they can acquire accents as humans do.
29．What does the underlined phrase “leaned on” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Stuck to. B．Disagreed with.
C．Put aside. D．Broke with.
30．What method is mainly used to develop paragraph 3
A．Making comparisons. B．Providing data.
C．Describing processes. D．Giving examples.
31．What can we learn from the last two paragraphs
A．Changing accents is key to animals’ survival.
B．Animals develop their accents with peers’ help.
C．Species change accents to frighten away strangers.
D．Unfamiliar surroundings have little influence on animals’ accents.
Have you ever kept your head down to avoid an uncomfortable situation Or maybe you’ve felt careful about not making someone angry. If so, you probably understand what it means to walk on eggshells. But what does this look like in the background of parenting And, if you experienced the responsibility of keeping the peace growing up, what is the influence on adult life
Eggshell parenting is the repeated lack of predictability and stability (稳定性) from a parent (or caregiver) that makes the child feel nervous, frightened, or even unsure what they’re going to get from their parent from one day to the next.
Most parents are short of stability from time to time — we’re all human after all. However, repeated unpredictability can create several challenges for children.
They may find it difficult to talk through their feelings out of fear of how the eggshell parent may react, putting the parent’s needs on the first place instead of their own. If you always feel on guard as a child, arriving at a place of peace or safety can be hard. To feel secure, the child has to make every effort to fit in with their mum or dad’s wishes, which can feel like a huge emotional weight.
The habit of focusing on everyone else’s feelings can continue into adulthood, where the individual may find themselves trying to care about others’ emotions, while ignoring their needs. This can make it difficult for the person to trust themselves as they grow older.
Communicating your needs clearly is key to breaking free from eggshell parenting. Start by acknowledging and trusting your own feelings, independent of the need for agreement from others. Reflecting on how you feel and what you need, even if your parent disagree, can make it easier to change how you communicate with them.
Building new, healthier relationships that provide stability and predictability can be a powerful step. Treating yourself with gentleness helps build new stable ground from which to grow with confidence, instead of walking on eggshells.
32．What may children feel when brought up by eggshell parents
A．Responsible. B．Anxious.
C．Distant. D．Fearless.
33．What may bring a huge emotional weight to children with eggshell parents
A．Ignoring other people’s feelings.
B．Having confidence in themselves blindly.
C．Satisfying their parents’ expectations to their best.
D．Considering their own interests the most important.
34．How can children break free from eggshell parenting
A．By voicing their needs clearly.
B．By reflecting on a new stable relationship.
C．By treating themselves strictly.
D．By relying on the agreement from parents.
35．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Eggshell Parenting: Impacts and Solutions.
B．Eggshell Parenting: Challenges and Benefits.
C．Unpredictable Childhood: Causes and Influences.
D．Unpredictable Childhood: Chances and Development.
Our homes use a lot of energy. The huge amounts of energy used to operate buildings result in more than a fourth of the world’s carbon dioxide pollution. One home climate solution is to turn to appliances (电器) that make less pollution. 36 Climate solutions for reducing home energy use can be extremely simple.
● Open a window.
In the spring or evenings, instead of turning on the air conditioner, all you need to do is open your windows to be comfortable. It’s even better if you have cross-facing windows in your home. 37 Researchers find that using natural ventilation (通风) can translate into huge energy savings.
● Don’t forget ceiling fans.
Try turning it on if you have a ceiling fan. While ceiling fans cannot lower the air temperature, they can provide increased cooling by moving the air around.
38 Using ceiling fans compared to air conditioners can reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions by 76%.
● Put your shades outside, not inside.
If you have a blind (百叶窗帘) or curtain inside your house, the sunlight coming in brings the heat inside. If you close the blind or curtain, you’re basically creating a sort of pillow of heat between the curtain and the window. That’s why climate-minded designers are fixing blinds or shades on the outside of houses, not on the inside. 39
● Seal (密封) it up.
In cold months, you want to make sure heat isn’t escaping your house into the outdoors through the leaks in windows. 40 But for something cheaper, you can do “weather stripping”—using a type of tape or rubber around your window frame to seal the leaks. The materials often cost under $10.
A．So, sunlight brings the heat inside.
B．Open them up to create a cross breeze.
C．One solution is to buy better windows.
D．That way the heat stays outside your house.
E．Fans use a lot less energy than air conditioning.
F．But it turns out that you don’t have to buy new ones.
G．Wind always finds a way to escape through the easiest path.

六、书面表达
67．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。
Tyrone Howard, a middle school student in Philadelphia, faced a difficult choice when his favorite math teacher Mr. Rosetti started a chess club. As an only child, Tyrone always relied on his best friend Malik — his “brother from another family” — for companionship. They grew up in the same neighborhood, shared sports enthusiasm, and even dreamed of joining the same high school team. But Tyrone’s secret love for chess complicated things.
One afternoon, after showing his “A” math test to his mother, a college economics teacher, Tyrone mentioned the chess club. She supported the idea, hoping he would make new friends. However, Malik’s reaction shocked him. “Chess is for losers!” Malik said, his locker (储物柜) door shaking with flags of their favorite sports teams. Tyrone laughed awkwardly, but his heart sank, wondering if following his passion meant losing his oldest friend.
That night, his mother shared her own story: skipping fifth grade caused her to be separated from her best friend, but it led to new opportunities. “Growth sometimes means risks and only you can decide what’s worth the risk, “she said. Encouraged, Tyrone attended the chess club’s first meeting. To his surprise, the six other students were brilliant, friendly, and far from “losers”.
Over the next few weeks, Tyrone spent more and more time with the chess club. He made new friends, improved his skills, and even started competing in local tournaments (锦标赛). Meanwhile, Malik successfully made the school basketball team and had to practice every day. Sometimes, Tyrone saw Malik at the locker.
Two months later, the chess team qualified (有资格) for a national tournament in New York. Though they didn’t win one of the top three places in the overall competition, the tournament did award prizes in different grade divisions (等级). It would take a while to work out the winnings, so the tournament officials would inform winning schools of results by mail.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150词左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
One week later, Mr. Rosetti came into the chess club with a letter in his hand.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After the award presentation, Tyrone found Malik waiting for him with a smile by the locker.

66．Dear Chris,
I’m writing to share with you the Nanshan Forest Music Festival I attended in our city last Friday.
Held in the sunlit forest, the festival kicked off with diverse live performances. Famous bands and solo artists took the stage, with birds singing along and the audience swaying to the beats. The highlight was the interactive sessions where we transformed fallen branches and leaves into DIY instruments to be immersed in the joyful atmosphere.
I had a great time at this unique festival. Every note felt like a hug from the forest, leaving me refreshed. What impressed me most was the perfect harmony of music, nature, and human connection, where human creativity and the natural world coexisted in perfect balance. The sunshine, fresh forest air, and shared laughter created pure joy for everyone present. Wish you’d been here to soak in this magic!
Yours,
Li Hua
67．One week later, Mr. Rosetti came into the chess club with a letter in his hand. “This letter is from New York City,” he announced. All eyes fixed on him, Mr. Rosetti opened the envelop and read aloud, “We are pleased to inform you that your team has won the first prize in your grade division…” Before he could finish, the club erupted in celebration, jumping and high-fiving. At the award presentation the next day at school, when Tyrone and his teammates walked onto the stage, they realized it was rewarding to pursue something they genuinely loved. Yet deep down in his heart, Tyrone still longed for the approval of his old friend.
After the award presentation, Tyrone found Malik waiting for him with a smile by the locker. “Congratulations! That’s impressive,” Malik said. Surprised by the sincerity, Tyrone felt a lump rise in his throat. Ashamed and apologetic, Malik continued, “I’m terribly sorry for those negative comments. You guys definitely aren’t losers.” Tyrone smiled, realizing growth didn’t mean sacrificing friendship. As they walked out of the school together, the afternoon sun cast their shadows side by side, as if symbolizing their journey towards new dreams while preserving their enduring bond.
