Jupiter’s Great Red Spot
Jupiter’s Great Red Spot is a massivey persistent storm system raging in the gas giant’s southern hemisphere for at least 193 years (observed continuously since 1831). Wider than Earth despite recent shrinkagey this high-pressure vortex(漩涡) spins counterclockwise with winds exceeding 267 mph at its edges. Its salmon-pink to red—likely caused by sunlight breaking apart atmospheric chemicals like ammonium hydrosulfide(硫化氢铵) into dim red chemicals.
Saturn’s Rings
Saturn’s rings are a breathtaking crowny composed of billions of ice and rock particles—ranging from dust to mountain-sized rocks—orbiting the planet. Spanning up to 280y000 kmy these initial icy pieces reflect sunlight with ethereal glory of red lighty creating a profound vision even through small telescopes. Its spinning crown is formed from comets’ smash as they’re trapped within Saturn’s Roche limit(洛希极限)y which is a key distance that determines how close a planet can approach a larger massive body before being torn apart by tidal forces(潮汐力).
Supernova(超新星)
A supernova marks the catastrophic death of a massive stary unleashing in seconds more energy than our Sun will release over its entire 10-billion-year lifespan. As the star’s core collapses or undergoes uncontrollable nuclear fusiony it will briefly shines every star in its host galaxy. Observable for weeks before fadingy supernovae turns into neutron stars(中子星) or black holesy while their shockwaves trigger star formation.
What can we know about the Jupiter’s Great Red Spot
The storm system appeared in 1831 initially.
It is no longer larger than the earth after its shrinkage.
It spins in a high speed with specific patterns.
Physical changes lead to its color appearance.
What is the common part of Saturn’s Rings and supernova

I have been studying the French language for three years. This field of study has been the hardest but most precious of my life. I would put it above the study of writing simply because I started writing as a 6-year-old boy under my mother’s guidance. I always “felt” I could write. I did not always “feel” I could study a foreign language effectively.
But here I amy right nowy in a French hotel. I spoke French at the bordery when I checked in and when I went to get lunch. I fail to speak with fluency. I mishear words. I can’t really use complicated grammar. But my words are perfectly understandable and serve their purpose. I feely as I always doy like I am lost in the darky but with each misstepy I find my way more clearly. I didn’t feel it when reading French novels; I didn’t feel it at school. I just felt it when I first arrived Paris.
I’m emphasizing feelings becausey when studyingy they are as important as any reality. The fear of making mistakes feeds the hopeless and makes learners quit. It is not the study of language that is hard. It is the feelings of who you are at the present level and pessimistic belief of who you will always be that make it hard. The transformation to turn struggles into growth is what truly makes learning a life- changing journey.
Maybe one dayy someone will say something to me that I do not understandy and in that moment. I may feel a bit discouraged. But nowy I feel a sense of being high. These moments of confidence and motivation are preciousy for they remind me of how far I’ve come. They are not the norm(常态)，though.
The truth isy the lows are what I encounter more often. They are part of the learning processy part of the
英语 第 3 页（共 8 页）
transformation that shapes us into better versions of ourselves. And yety it is through these lows that I am constantly learning and growing.
How does the author feel about making mistakes in French
Awkward. B．Hopeless. C．Competent. D．Rewarding.
Why does the author emphasize feelings
To highlight his struggles in learning French.
To show that positive thinking can drive growth.
To illustrate that people should follow their hearts.
To clarify his experience in mindset transformation.
According to the authory what is the real challenge in learning a language
Mastering complicated grammar. B．Overcoming the fear of making mistakes. C．Finding enough time to study. D．Understanding native speakers.
What can we infer from the last paragraph
The lows are always followed by highs. B．Feeling confident should be made a norm.
C．Struggles are an essential part of learning.D．The ups are the real times when learning occurs.
C
Nietzsche was wrong: When you gaze long enough into the abyss y the abyss does not gaze back into you. Insteady the cosmic (宇宙的) void (空白) remains silent and frightening in its vastness.
When looking at the vast emptiness of the universey there is a temptation to look at our tiny world with nihilism (虚无主义). To feel that our great achievements amount to nothing. That our history fails to leave a mark. That our concerns and anxieties are pointless.
I’m a cosmologisty the kind of scientist who studies the originy history and evolution of the universe. I have spent years working to understand what cosmic voids teach us.And in the course of my studiesy I have learned to reject that temptation.
It’s true that Earth is neither large nor long-livedy but that is only one way of measuring pared with the cosmic voidsy there is something special happening on our planet. Earth is still the only known place in the entire universe where conscious beings raise their curious eyes to the sky and wonder. Earth is the only known place where humans can exist. It is the only known place where laughtery lovey anger and joy exist. The only known place where we can find dancey musicy and art. Our disagreements and all the beautiful complexities that make us human aren’t meaningless.The experiences in our lives are special because they will never happen in the empty expanse of most of the universe.
The same lessons that cosmic voids teach us are found in the voids we encounter in our own lives. The presence of voids guarantees the opposite; they create contrast; they are full of potential. The pain we feel from loss is the last reminder of the gift of a life deeply loved. The silence before a performance is full of electric expectation. Our choice to ignore stressful news is necessary to allow us to focus on what truly matters.
Artists have long understood the power of the void. The 12th-century poet Saigyo noted that the pauses between raindrops were as important as the drops themselves. The famed architect Rem celebrated the usefulness of negative spacesy declaringy “Where there is nothingy everything is possible.”
The universe won’t do anything for us except give us the freedom to exist. It is our job to fill the
universe with meaning and purpose.
What does the author suggest about the“temptation” in paragraph 2
It reflects humanity’s fear of cosmic emptiness.
It strengthens people’s scientific curiosity about the void.
It leads people to understate Earth’s unique qualities.
It comes from the universe’s coldness to human existence.
Why does the author reject the temptation
He is a cosmologist who believes science.
Earth remains the only known home for human experiences.
Human experiences differ from those in voids.
英语 第 4 页（共 8 页）
Earth’s small size and short life makes it unique.
What is the main purpose of paragraph 5
To explain why voids exist in universe and life.
To suggest people should remove empty spaces in life.
To analyze how emptiness in life offers significance.
To prove filling empty spaces creates greater purpose.
Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
Cosmic Voids: A Scientist’s Technical Analysis
B．Filling the Emptiness: Finding Meaning in the Vast Universe C．Nietzsche Revisited: When Philosophy Meets Astronomy D．The Silent Universe: Why Our Existence Means Nothing
D
Chinese scientists have made a significant breakthrough in producing hydrogen from water using light. They added scandium (钪) to titanium dioxide (二氧化钛y TiO2) to create a new TiO2 structure. This innovation increases hydrogen production efficiency 15 times under sunlight compared to previous TiO 2 materials.
The new performance of photocatalysy which is a chemical reaction that is accelerated by the absorption of light by a catalyst (催化剂) is due to 5% scandium doping. This creates TiO2 particles with two crystal facets (面): {101} and {110}. The {101} facet collects electronsy while the {110} facet receives holes. This arrangement produces a strong electric field within the TiO 2 particlesy enhancing charge transport efficiency. As a resulty the photoinduced (光诱导的) charge separation efficiency has improved over 200 timesy and the quantum efficiency for ultraviolet light at 360 nm has exceeded 30%.
Compared to traditional solar hydrogen production methods like photovoltaic-powered electrolysisy this new approach is simpler and more cost-effective. Traditional methods require complex and expensive equipmenty while TiO2-based photocatalysts offer a more straightforward alternative. Howevery TiO 2 has a problem: photoexcited electrons and holes reunite quicklyy reducing efficiency. The scandium-doped TiO2 solves this problem in two ways:
Eliminating Charge Traps: Sc3+ ions(离子) fit well into the TiO2 structure without causing distortion. Their stable +3 charge neutralizes the imbalance caused by oxygen vacanciesy reducing electron -hole recombination.
Reconstructing the Crystal Surface: Scandium atoms rearrange the crystal surface to form specific
facetsy giving electrons and holes more time and space to participate in reactions.
If made into a 100 m photocatalytic panely this material could generate enough hydrogen in one day to power a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle to travel about 68 kilometers. China has the world’s largest TiO 2 production capacity and significant scandium reservesy so this discovery could facilitate the large -scale industrial application of photocatalytic water splitting technology. It offers a promising way for more efficient and economical hydrogen productiony which is crucial for transitioning to sustainable and carbon- neutral energy systems.
This advancement highlights the potential of rare-earth elements in improving photocatalytic materials. As the world seeks ways to reduce carbon emissions and combat climate changey this scandium- doped TiO2 photocatalyst provides hope. It could accelerate the adoption of hydrogen as a clean energy carrier and support the development of hydrogen-powered technologies across various industries.
In summaryy this new scandium-doped TiO2 photocatalyst is a major step forward in renewable energy. Its impressive performance and potential for widespread application bring us closer to a future where cleany sustainable hydrogen energy is both abundant and economically feasible. This breakthrough is expected to inspire further research and innovation in the design of advanced photocatalytic materialsy driving the world closer to a carbon-neutral and sustainable energy future.
What fundamental innovation enables the dramatic improvement in hydrogen production efficiency
Substituting rare-earth elements for traditional catalysts. B．Optimizing catalyst structure through elemental integration.

Music’s role is much more than entertainment. Scientific studies show it activates nearly every brain region and keeps lots of brain networks strongy including those networks about emotiony happinessy movement and learning.
36 For exampley hospitals use calming music to ease patients’ anxiety before operationy which proves music can touch emotions beyond words. Neuroscientists find that familiar songs set off dopamine (多巴胺) releasey creating natural joy without medication. Music also builds bridges where words fail. At global events like the Olympicsy national anthems (国歌) unite audiencey stirring up strong emotional resonance (共鸣).
37 The result turned out as expected. Researchers from MIT found that singing in a choir may reduce loneliness and increase interest in life among diverse older adultsy including those with Alzheimer’s disease who lost some memory. 38 Studies showed that music therapy can help older adults with Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders improve their walking and reduce falls.
Music improves the performance in study. 39 More surprisinglyy language learners mastering vocabulary through song lyrics progressed 30% faster than traditional methods. Students learning art report higher productivity with background instrumental music — brainwave synchronization explains this boost.
Everyone can access its benefits without training. Try exploring free music appsy sharing meaningful songs with friendsy or attending local concerts. Even singing softly to yourself when stressed can lower blood pressure. 40 Its power is everywherey ready for you to find and use.
Music helps the old people feel much happier.
Music even shows promise in preventing injury.
Music provides emotional benefits in many ways.
Doctors often play soft music to relax the patients.
As Plato notedy “Music gives soul to the universe.”
Students listening to classical pieces show 20% better concentration.
Scientists examined whether music could improve old people’s well-being.

“Honesty is the best policy” is a common sayingy but in many situationsy people do not want to hear the truth. Whether it’s a fact of life that they 41 were otherwise or a criticism of their behaviory everyone has truths that they want to ignore. These truths are called truth bombsy especially when they are told in a 42 way. This comparison shows that truth can cause damage if not handled well.
Sometimes we drop truth bombs out of anger. We may 43 our words by saying that we need to express our emotions or to help the other person change their ways. But often we use the truth as a(n)
44 to make the other person feel bad and to repay them for what they did.
Truth bombs rarely lead to productive discussion because they cause a 45 reaction. The receiver may 46 the criticism or counter it with a truth bomb of their own. Truth bombs also often fail to represent the whole truth. Anger can make it difficult to see the big picturey leading to an 47 misrepresentation of the truth.
Sometimes people do need to hear hard truths. Pretending that problems do not 48 can weaken trust just as much as dropping truth bombs can. And failing to address problems in relationships can lead to hatredy which may 49 boil over into conflict. But it is possible to 50 truth without turning it into a bomb. Here are some ways to do that:
Pay attention to timing. It is often helpful to give the person some advance 51 so they have time to mentally prepare.
Ask questions. Don’t make 52 about people’ s motivationy but ask them the reasons for their actions. Also ask if there are problems that are 53 their mistakes that you could help with. These questions will help you grasp the situation more fullyy and the recipient may accept the criticism more easily.
Be as specific as possible about the problem. Avoid sweeping statements and generalizations that use terms such as “ 54 ” and “never” .
By presenting truth and addressing problems in a constructive wayy you can strengthen relationships and
avoid the emotional 55 .

During the energy crisis in the 1970sy Dutch researchers began to pay close attention to the country’s energy usage. In one suburb near Amsterdamy they found that some homeowners used 30 percent less energy than their neighbours 56. the homes being of similar size and getting electricity for the same price. It turned out that the houses in this neighborhood were nearly identical except for one feature: the location of the electrical meter. Some had one in the basement.57. had the electrical meter upstairs in the main hallway.58. you may guessy the homes with the meters located in the main hallway used less electricity. When their energy use was obvious and easy to tracky people changed their
behavior.
Every habit 59. (initiate) by a cuey and we are more likely to notice cues that stand out.
Unfortunatelyy the environments where we live and work often make it easy not to do certain actions
60. there is no obvious cue to trigger the behavior. When the cues that spark a habit are subtle or

By comparisony creating obvious visual cues can draw your attention toward a 62. (desire) habit. I’ve experienced the power of obvious cues in my own life. l used to buy apples from the storey put them in the crisper in the bottom of the refrigeratory and forget all about them. By the time I rememberedy the apples 63. (go) bad .I never saw themy so I never ate them.
Eventuallyy I took my own advice and redesigned my environment. I bought a large display bowl and placed it in the middle of the kitchen counter. The next time I bought applesy that was 64. they went. Almost like magicy I began eating a few apples each day simply because they were obviousy

It was the summer of 2019y and I was part of a team of eight climbers attempting to reach the top of Mount Rainier in Washington State. We had been training for over a yeary preparing for the physical and mental challenges of the climb. Our teamy composed of experienced mountaineers and a few beginners like myselfy had grown close during our training sessions. We relied on each other for supportyencouragementy and motivation. If someone was strugglingy the rest of us would step in to helpy whether it was carrying extra sports equipment or offering words of encouragement.
The first two days of the climb went smoothly. We made good progressy reaching Camp Muir at 10y000 feet without any major issues. The weather was perfecty and our spirits were high. On the third dayy we began our push for the peak. The plan was to start early in the morningy around 2 a.m.y to take advantage of the coldery firmer snow. We roped up and began the climby each of us focused on the task at hand.
As we approached Disappointmenty Cleavery a steep and dangerous section of the climby the weather began to change. The wind picked upy and the temperature dropped significantly. We could barely see more than a few feet in front of us because of the dense fogy and the snow underfoot became unstable.
Despite the challenging conditionsy we carried ony determined to reach the peak. Theny disaster struck. One of our team membersy Sarahy lost her footing and slipped. The force of her fall pulled the rest of us off balancey and we all felly sliding down the slope (斜坡). I felt a sharp pain in my leg as I hit a rocky and I knew immediately that something was wrong. The rest of the team quickly regained their footing and managed to stop our slidey but I was unable to stand.

Most career organizations highlight three stages for graduates to follow in the process of securing a suitable career: recognizing abilities, matching these to available vacancies and presenting them well to employers.
Job seekers have to make a careful assessment of their own abilities. One area of
assessment should be of their academic qualifications. Graduates should also consider their own personal values and attitudes, or the relative importance to themselves of such matters as money, security, leadership and caring for others.
The second stage is to study the opportunities available for employment and to think about how the general employment situation is likely to develop in the future. After studying
various options, they should be in a position to make informed comparisons between various careers.
Good personal presentation is essential in the search for a good career. Job application forms and letters should, of course, be filled in carefully and correctly. When additional information is asked for, job seekers should describe their abilities and work experience in more depth, with examples if possible. When graduates are asked to attend an interview, they should prepare properly by finding out all they can about the employer. Interviewees should try to give positive and helpful answers and should not be afraid to ask questions about anything they are unsure about. This is much better than pretending to understand a question and giving an
unsuitable answer.
There will be good career opportunities for people with ability, skills and determination; the secret to securing a good job is to be one of those people. Questions:
What is the second stage for graduates to follow in seeking a suitable career What is important for interviewees when attending an interview
What kind of people can secure a good job according to the passage
24．B 25．D 26．B 27．C
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。作者通过介绍自己学法语的经历论述了学习过程中的挣扎、错误以及与成长的关系。这些经历对个人学习成长很关键。
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It is not the study of language that is hard. It is the feelings of who you are at the present level and pessimistic belief of who you will always be that make it hard.(学习语言本身并不难。难的是你当下所处状态下的自我认知，以及那种对自身永远无法改变的悲观看法，这些造成了学习的困难)”可知，作者认为真正的挑战不是语言本身，
而是对犯错的恐惧和对自我能力的悲观信念。故选B 项。
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I spoke French at the border, when I checked in and when I went to get lunch. I fail to speak with fluency. I mishear words. I can't really use complicated
grammar. But my words are perfectly understandable and serve their purpose.I feel, as I always do, like I am lost in the dark, but with each misstep, I find my way more clearly.(在边境，我用法语进行了登记入住，吃午饭的时候也说了法语。但我表达起来并不流利，有时会听错单
词，也不能很好地运用复杂的语法结构。不过我的话语内容清晰易懂，也能达到预期的效
果。我感觉就像往常一样，自己仿佛置身于黑暗之中，但每走错一步，我的方向就会更加清晰起来)”可知，作者认为在法语上犯错能让自己更清楚前进方向，所以对犯错持积极态度。D 项表示“值得的”，与推断相吻合。故选D 项。
细节理解题。根据第三段中“I'm emphasizing feelings because, when studying, they are as important as any reality. The fear of making mistakes feeds the hopeless and makes learners quit. It is not the study of language that is hard. It is the feelings of who you are at the present level and
pessimistic belief of who you will always be that make it hard. The transformation to turn
struggles into growth is what truly makes learning a life-changing journey.(我之所以强调情感，是因为在学习过程中情感与任何现实因素一样重要。对犯错误的恐惧滋养了绝望，使学习者放弃。学习语言本身并不难。难的是你当下所处状态下的自我认知，以及那种对自身永远无法改变的悲观看法，这些造成了学习的困难。将挣扎转化为成长的过程，才是真正能让学习成为改变人生的旅程)”可知，作者强调情感是因为它很重要，将挣扎转化为成长，是正向积极的情感，促使学习变成改变人生的旅程。故选 B 项。
推理判断题。根据末段中的“The truth is, the lows are what I encounter more often. They are part of the learning process, part of the transformation that shapes us into better versions of ourselves. And yet, it is through these lows that I am constantly learning and growing.(事实是，
低谷是我更常遇到的。它们是学习过程的一部分，是塑造我们成为更好自己的转变的一部分。然而，正是通过这些低谷，我一直在学习和成长)”可推断，作者认为低谷是学习过程中的重要部分。C 项表示“挣扎是学习过程中不可或缺的一部分”是对文章内容的同义转 述，故选C 项。
28．C 29．B 30．C 31．B
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨面对宇宙的虚无，人类应如何在其中寻找意义与价值。
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“When looking at the vast emptiness of the universe, there is a temptation (诱惑) to look at our tiny world with nihilism (虚无主义). To feel that our great
achievements amount to nothing. That our history fails to leave a mark. That our concerns and
anxieties are pointless. (当凝视宇宙的浩瀚虚无时，人们难免会被诱惑，以虚无主义的眼光看待我们这个渺小的世界。觉得我们的伟大成就微不足道，我们的历史未能留下任何印记，我们的关切与焦虑都毫无意义。)”可知，这种“诱惑”会导致人们低估地球的独特品 质。故选C 项。
细节理解题。根据第三段的“I have spent years working to understand what cosmic voids teach us.And in the course of my studies, I have learned to reject that temptation.(我花费了多年时间去探究宇宙空洞所带给我们的启示。在研究的过程中，我逐渐学会了抵制这种诱
惑。)”和第四段中的“Earth is still the only known place in the entire universe where conscious
beings raise their curious eyes to the sky and wonder. Earth is the only known place where humans can exist. It is the only known place where laughter, love, anger and joy exist. The only known
place where we can find dance, music, and art.(地球仍然是整个宇宙中已知的唯一有意识的生物抬起好奇的眼睛望向天空并感到好奇的地方。地球是已知的唯一人类可以生存的地方。它是已知的唯一有笑声、爱、愤怒和喜悦存在的地方。唯一已知的可以找到舞蹈、音乐和艺术的地方。)”可知，第四段中用排比句式强调地球是宇宙中已知的唯一存在“有意识的生物”、人类情感和艺术的地方，由此可知，地球是已知的人类唯一能有各种体验的地方，所以作者在研究过程中逐渐学会了抵制这种诱惑。故选 B 项。
推理判断题。根据第五段中的“The presence of voids guarantees the opposite; they create contrast; they are full of potential. The pain we feel from loss is the last reminder of the gift of a life deeply loved. The silence before a performance is full of electric expectation.(虚空的存在保证了相反的情况；它们创造对比；它们充满潜力。我们从失去中感受到的痛苦是对深爱的
生命礼物的最后提醒。演出前的沉默充满了强烈的期待。)”可推断，第五段的主要目的是分析生活中的空虚如何赋予意义。故选C 项。
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中的“It is our job to fill the universe with
meaning and purpose.(我们的工作是让宇宙充满意义和目的。)”可知，作者反对宇宙的虚无使人陷入无意义论，强调人类情感、艺术和存在的独特性，倡导在宏大宇宙中主动创造的意义，所以，“填补空虚：在浩瀚宇宙中寻找意义”最能概括全文，适合作为最佳标题。故选 B 项。

participate in reactions.(2. 重构晶体表面：钪原子重新排列晶体表面形成特定的晶面，给电子-空穴更多的时间和空间参与反应)”可知，解决电子-空穴快速复合的双机制是中和离子不平衡和重构反应途径。故选A 项。
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中“China has the world’s largest TiO production capacity and significant scandium reserves, so this discovery could facilitate the large scale industrial
application of photocatalytic water splitting technology.(中国拥有世界上最大的二氧化钛生产能力和大量的钪储量，因此这一发现有助于光催化水分解技术的大规模工业应用)”可知，国内矿产资源的分布模式会对该技术的可扩展性起关键作用。故选 C 项。
推理判断题。根据第三段中“However, TiO has a problem: photoexcited electrons and
holes reunite quickly, reducing efficiency.(然而，二氧化钛有一个问题：光激发的电子-空穴很快重新结合，降低了效率)”和“1. Eliminating Charge Traps: Sc ions fit well into the TiO
structure without causing distortion. Their stable +3 charge neutralizes the imbalance caused by oxygen vacancies, reducing electron hole recombination.(1. 消除电荷陷阱：Sc 离子能很好地融入二氧化钛结构而不造成扭曲。它们稳定的 +3 价电荷中和了氧空位造成的不平衡，减
少了电子-空穴复合)”可知电子-空穴快速复合导致能量损失，可再生能源初创公司在试点这
项技术时，“防止电荷迁移过程中的过早能量损失”这一挑战与“光激发的电子-空穴很快重新结合”相契合。故选 B 项。
