While accidents and incidents do happen， in this day and age，roller coasters（过山车）are generally considered safe. This wasn't always the case: Early roller coasters and other rides were uncomfortable at best, and dangerous at worst. One pioneer to the roller coaster were the Ice Slides-hills constructed of wood and ice-found in Russia in the 16th century. After an exhausting climb up a set of stairs， riders would dash down the slope（坡） on a block of ice with a pile of straw as the seat. Fun! In the early 1800s, a wheeled version made its way to France,making it more similar to modern roller coasters. Except that the wheels would often come off and the cars wouldn't stop at the bottom of the hill. Less fun!
Coasters only got more dangerous in the next century. Consider the infamous Coney Island Rough Riders roller coaster, which killed seven people in a five-year span from 1910 to 1915before it was shut down. The coaster was an honor to Theodore Roosevelt and his “Rough Riders," the soldiers who fought in the Spanish-American War. But the coaster was almost as dangerous as Battle of San Juan Hill: According to PBS, in one accident, the speeding coaster threw off 16 people, killing four. In another accident, the coaster jumped thetrack and caused three deaths. One woman survived the dangerous hanging from a rail with one hand,holding her child with the other hand.
Another great place to get injured was New Jersey's Action Park, which did its damage from 1978 to 1996 before closing. How bad was Action Park A few years ago, my New Jersey-born wife got an email that said “You know you're from New Jersey when ... you've been seriously injured at Action Park."
24.How does the author introduce the topic of the text
A.By making a contrast. B. By asking a question.
C.By giving a definition. D.By offering a suggestion.
25.What was the first roller coaster made of
A.Wood and ice. B.Metal wheels.
C. Grass and stone. D.Soldiers'weapons.
26.What was Coney Island Rough Riders built for
A.Testing the challenge of the ride.
B. Remembering a historical event.
C.Celebrating a woman's survival.
D. Recording a bloody Spanish battle.
27.What is the tone of the author's description
A.Uncertain. B.Cautious. C.Angry. D.Humorous.
C
Recently, a young man in his 20s from Beijing has chosen to serve as a "shared son" for the parents of strangers. Like many of his peers， he has signed a mutual（相互的）assistance agreement. It is designed to help each other's parents when they are out and about by themselves. This type of agreement has now become a social media trend.
The young are inspired by concerns that their parents may encounter different challenges during their outings. In the digital age, tasks that young people can complete in minutes can leave some middle-aged and old people awkward around, like scanning QR codes,ordering meals online, booking tickets for scenic spots or entering railway stations.
Some people have voiced opposition to the idea of performing good deeds based on signed agreements. Lending seniors a helping hand is a traditional virtue in China.Popular opinion holds that everyone has a responsibility to step up to the plate when they see an elderly person in need. While help from strangers based on online agreements can be beneficial, we must address the growing anxiety causing these agreements against the situation of a rapidly aging population.
As of late 2023, the population of those aged 60 and above in China had reached 297million. It will account for 21.1 percent of the total population. The mutual assistance agreement is very helpful in this regard. It allows seniors to better adapt to the pace of modern life and enjoy the conveniences modern technologies bring. They can also feel the warmth and care from young people and society at large.
The agreement is signed on a voluntary basis and each individual has their specific responsibilities. The young people offering help gain an enhanced sense of responsibility and a strong motivation to see tasks all the way through. For the seniors' children, knowing their parents are surrounded by helpful young people brings relief and comfort.
28. What has the digital age brought to the old
A.Different entertainment choices. B. Additional indoor opportunities.
C. Varied activities in the open air. D.Some inconveniences in daily life.
29. Why do some people go against the “shared son" practice
A. It can limit people's choices. B. It can increase seniors' burdens.
C. It can weaken traditional values. D.It can cause family conflicts.
30. What does the author think of this type of agreement
A. Strange and useless. B. Creative and demanding.
C. Practical and positive. D.Challenging and ineffective.
31. What might be the best title of the passage
A. Bridging Generations B. Reliving Loneliness
C.Expecting Assistance D. Taking Responsibilities
D
From improving focus to strengthening cognitive（认知的）pathways， handwriting offers neurological（神经学上）benefits that modern technology can＇t bring.
Think back to the last time you wrote down a quick note or made a grocery list. Chances are that it wasn't with pen and paper. Over the past decade, keyboards and screens have quietly replaced handwriting in our daily routines, from classrooms to office meetings. Some schools around the world have even stopped teaching cursive（连笔）altogether.
Yet,research shows that putting pen to paper offers cognitive benefits that digital tools can't produce."Statistically most studies on the relationship between handwriting and memory, including ones conducted in Japan, Norway and the United States, show that people are better at remembering things that they have written down, manually than on a computer," says Naomi Susan Baron,professor of linguistics at American University in Washington D.C. From improved memory storage to enhanced learning outcomes, here's how maintaining the art of handwriting can significantly impact how we absorb and keep information.
The benefits of writing by hand can partly be attributed to the engagement of different senses in the writing process.
“Holding a pen with our fingers, pressing it on a surface, and moving our hands to create letters and words is a complex skill that requires a lot of our attention," says Mellissa Prunty, who has researched the relationship between handwriting and learning. "This deeper level of processing,which involves mapping sounds to letter formations, has been shown to support reading and spelling in children," Prunty says.
Adults also benefit from the labor-intensive nature of handwriting. A study involving 42 adults learning Arabic found that participants who learned letters by writing them down by hand were quicker to recognize them, had an easier time naming them, and were better at sounding the newly learned letters out compared with people learning by typing or by just looking at them.
32.What does Paragraph 2 mainly focus on about handwriting
A. Its method of usage. B. Its connection to life.
C. Its present situation. D.Its previous advantages.
33.What does the underlined phrase "be attributed to" mean in paragraph 4
A.Figure out. B.Get into. C.Refer to. D.Result from.
34.What does the author intend to explain in Paragraph 5
A.How our brain processes information.
B.Why handwriting helps us learn better.
C.How we can improve reading and spelling.
D.Why sounds and letter formations are related.
35.What can we infer from the passage
A.Handwriting still matters a lot in the digital age.
B. We can do without handwriting in the near future.
C.Children rely on electronic tools more than adults.
D.Digital learning does a better job than handwriting.

A new survey published in July provides fresh ideas into the emotional landscape of today's Gen Z youth. Conducted by teen psychologist Damour, her group surveyed 1,675children aged 10 to 18. 36 . Parents can help kids get throughthe growth by understanding their feelings and finding ways to better support them.
Remind your teen they don't have to be perfect
About one in three Gen Zers struggle with perfectionism. The study found that those who say they need to be perfect were "more likely than those who do not feel that pressure to say they felt anxious, sad and stressed a lot". 37 . Tell them that “While we are working on our shortcomings, we still can feel we are good and worthy."
Talk to your teen - They want to hear from you
About one in six parents struggle to comfort their children or communicate with them when they are upset. They assume that their teens don't want to talk to them. "But what we heard from teenagers is how helpful these conversations are," says Damour. "So my advice to parents is to go ahead and have a conversation about your worries." If you're not sure what to do, just listen,she says. 38 :What can adults do to be helpful when you're upset
39
Nearly all the children surveyed said they "felt happiness a lot," but 45% also felt stressed,38% anxious and 23% sad. "The point here is that kids have lots of moods, good and bad," says Damour. In general, teens have more intense emotions. But it's not a sign that anything is wrong.It's a sign of forward development. Kids already have great coping skills that they turn to comfort themselves. 40.
A. It's what we do with them that counts
B.Be OK with your kids' ups and downs of emotions
C.Help your teens get comfortable with making mistakes
D. That was the No.1 response when Damour asked the teens
E.Look for natural openings in daily conversation to bring up concerns
F. It found they felt pressure for perfect and negative emotions like anxiety
G. Parents should only worry "if they're using the strategies that are harmful"

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。
One of the passengers was a small grey man who took the bus to the center for senior citizens every morning. He walked with a sad look on his face when he, with some difficulty,boarded the bus and sat down alone behind the driver. No one ever paid very much attention to him.
Then one July morning he said good morning to the driver and smiled short-sightedly down through the bus before he sat down. The driver nodded guardedly. The rest of us were silent.
The next day, the old man boarded the bus energetically, smiled and said in a loud voice: “And a very good morning to you all!" Some of us looked up, amazed, and murmured “Good morning,”in reply.
The following weeks we noticed our friend was now dressed in a nice old suit and a wide out-of-date tie. The thin hair had been carefully combed. He said good morning to us every day and we gradually began to nod and talk to each other.
One morning he had a bunch of wild flowers in his hand. They were already fading a little because of the heat. The driver turned around smilingly and asked: "Have you got yourself a girlfriend,Charlie ” We never got to know if his name really was “Charlie",but he shook his head shyly and said no.
The other passengers whispered but believed he did it for a good purpose. Charlie bowed and waved the flowers before he sat down on his seat.
Every morning after that, Charlie always brought a flower. Some of the regular passengers began bringing him flowers for his bunch, gently nudged him and said shyly: "Here." Everyone smiled. The men started to joke about it, talk to each other, and share the newspaper.
The summer went by, and autumn was closing in, when one morning Charlie wasn't waiting at his usual stop. When he wasn't there the next day and the day after that, we started wondering if he was sick or-hopefully-on holiday somewhere.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。
Paragraph 1:
When we got nearer to the senior citizen center, one of the passengers asked the driver to wait.
Paragraph 2:
Knowing Charlie's story, all the passengers on the bus burst into a thunder of applause.

Dear Joan,
I'm eager to tell you about the book I shared at our school's reading event - The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint - Exupéry.
I chose this book because it's a profound yet simple fable. Through the little prince's travels among different planets, it reveals the absurdity of grown - up world. For instance, the king who believes he controls everything, showing the vanity and self - delusion.
It also emphasizes the importance of relationships. The bond between the prince and the rose teaches us about love, care, and responsibility. It's a short but thought - provoking book that can touch everyone's heart.
Yours,
Li Hua

Paragraph 1:
When we got nearer to the senior citizen center, one of the passengers asked the driver to wait. A few of us decided to get off and check on Charlie. We entered the building and inquired about him at the front desk. The staff led us to a room where Charlie was lying in bed, looking weak. A nurse told us that he had been diagnosed with a serious illness. He had been going through a tough time, but the flowers and the new - found friendships on the bus had given him so much joy and strength. He had been looking forward to seeing us every day.
Paragraph 2:
Knowing Charlie's story, all the passengers on the bus burst into a thunder of applause. We realized how much of an impact Charlie had made on our lives. From then on, we made it a routine to visit Charlie regularly, bringing him fresh flowers and sharing our daily stories. His presence had transformed our bus rides from silent and dull to warm and friendly. Even though Charlie was facing a difficult battle with his illness, his spirit continued to inspire us, and our little community on the bus became even closer, united by the love and care we shared for him.

While accidents and incidents do happen， in this day and age，roller coasters（过山车）are generally considered safe. This wasn't always the case: Early roller coasters and other rides were uncomfortable at best, and dangerous at worst. One pioneer to the roller coaster were the Ice Slides-hills constructed of wood and ice-found in Russia in the 16th century. After an exhausting climb up a set of stairs， riders would dash down the slope（坡） on a block of ice with a pile of straw as the seat. Fun! In the early 1800s, a wheeled version made its way to France,making it more similar to modern roller coasters. Except that the wheels would often come off and the cars wouldn't stop at the bottom of the hill. Less fun!
Coasters only got more dangerous in the next century. Consider the infamous Coney Island Rough Riders roller coaster, which killed seven people in a five-year span from 1910 to 1915before it was shut down. The coaster was an honor to Theodore Roosevelt and his “Rough Riders," the soldiers who fought in the Spanish-American War. But the coaster was almost as dangerous as Battle of San Juan Hill: According to PBS, in one accident, the speeding coaster threw off 16 people, killing four. In another accident, the coaster jumped thetrack and caused three deaths. One woman survived the dangerous hanging from a rail with one hand,holding her child with the other hand.
Another great place to get injured was New Jersey's Action Park, which did its damage from 1978 to 1996 before closing. How bad was Action Park A few years ago, my New Jersey-born wife got an email that said “You know you're from New Jersey when ... you've been seriously injured at Action Park."
24.How does the author introduce the topic of the text
A.By making a contrast. B. By asking a question.
C.By giving a definition. D.By offering a suggestion.
25.What was the first roller coaster made of

B. Remembering a historical event.

D. Recording a bloody Spanish battle.
27.What is the tone of the author's description

C
Recently, a young man in his 20s from Beijing has chosen to serve as a "shared son" for the parents of strangers. Like many of his peers， he has signed a mutual（相互的）assistance agreement. It is designed to help each other's parents when they are out and about by themselves. This type of agreement has now become a social media trend.
The young are inspired by concerns that their parents may encounter different challenges during their outings. In the digital age, tasks that young people can complete in minutes can leave some middle-aged and old people awkward around, like scanning QR codes,ordering meals online, booking tickets for scenic spots or entering railway stations.
Some people have voiced opposition to the idea of performing good deeds based on signed agreements. Lending seniors a helping hand is a traditional virtue in China.Popular opinion holds that everyone has a responsibility to step up to the plate when they see an elderly person in need. While help from strangers based on online agreements can be beneficial, we must address the growing anxiety causing these agreements against the situation of a rapidly aging population.
As of late 2023, the population of those aged 60 and above in China had reached 297million. It will account for 21.1 percent of the total population. The mutual assistance agreement is very helpful in this regard. It allows seniors to better adapt to the pace of modern life and enjoy the conveniences modern technologies bring. They can also feel the warmth and care from young people and society at large.
The agreement is signed on a voluntary basis and each individual has their specific responsibilities. The young people offering help gain an enhanced sense of responsibility and a strong motivation to see tasks all the way through. For the seniors' children, knowing their parents are surrounded by helpful young people brings relief and comfort.
28. What has the digital age brought to the old
A.Different entertainment choices. B. Additional indoor opportunities.
C. Varied activities in the open air. D.Some inconveniences in daily life.
29. Why do some people go against the “shared son" practice
A. It can limit people's choices. B. It can increase seniors' burdens.
C. It can weaken traditional values. D.It can cause family conflicts.
30. What does the author think of this type of agreement
A. Strange and useless. B. Creative and demanding.
C. Practical and positive. D.Challenging and ineffective.
31. What might be the best title of the passage
A. Bridging Generations B. Reliving Loneliness
C.Expecting Assistance D. Taking Responsibilities
D
From improving focus to strengthening cognitive（认知的）pathways， handwriting offers neurological（神经学上）benefits that modern technology can＇t bring.
Think back to the last time you wrote down a quick note or made a grocery list. Chances are that it wasn't with pen and paper. Over the past decade, keyboards and screens have quietly replaced handwriting in our daily routines, from classrooms to office meetings. Some schools around the world have even stopped teaching cursive（连笔）altogether.
Yet,research shows that putting pen to paper offers cognitive benefits that digital tools can't produce."Statistically most studies on the relationship between handwriting and memory, including ones conducted in Japan, Norway and the United States, show that people are better at remembering things that they have written down, manually than on a computer," says Naomi Susan Baron,professor of linguistics at American University in Washington D.C. From improved memory storage to enhanced learning outcomes, here's how maintaining the art of handwriting can significantly impact how we absorb and keep information.
The benefits of writing by hand can partly be attributed to the engagement of different senses in the writing process.
“Holding a pen with our fingers, pressing it on a surface, and moving our hands to create letters and words is a complex skill that requires a lot of our attention," says Mellissa Prunty, who has researched the relationship between handwriting and learning. "This deeper level of processing,which involves mapping sounds to letter formations, has been shown to support reading and spelling in children," Prunty says.
Adults also benefit from the labor-intensive nature of handwriting. A study involving 42 adults learning Arabic found that participants who learned letters by writing them down by hand were quicker to recognize them, had an easier time naming them, and were better at sounding the newly learned letters out compared with people learning by typing or by just looking at them.
32.What does Paragraph 2 mainly focus on about handwriting
A. Its method of usage. B. Its connection to life.
C. Its present situation. D.Its previous advantages.
33.What does the underlined phrase "be attributed to" mean in paragraph 4
A.Figure out. B.Get into. C.Refer to. D.Result from.
34.What does the author intend to explain in Paragraph 5
A.How our brain processes information.
B.Why handwriting helps us learn better.
C.How we can improve reading and spelling.
D.Why sounds and letter formations are related.
35.What can we infer from the passage
A.Handwriting still matters a lot in the digital age.
B. We can do without handwriting in the near future.
C.Children rely on electronic tools more than adults.
D.Digital learning does a better job than handwriting.

A new survey published in July provides fresh ideas into the emotional landscape of today's Gen Z youth. Conducted by teen psychologist Damour, her group surveyed 1,675children aged 10 to 18. 36 . Parents can help kids get throughthe growth by understanding their feelings and finding ways to better support them.
Remind your teen they don't have to be perfect
About one in three Gen Zers struggle with perfectionism. The study found that those who say they need to be perfect were "more likely than those who do not feel that pressure to say they felt anxious, sad and stressed a lot". 37 . Tell them that “While we are working on our shortcomings, we still can feel we are good and worthy."
Talk to your teen - They want to hear from you
About one in six parents struggle to comfort their children or communicate with them when they are upset. They assume that their teens don't want to talk to them. "But what we heard from teenagers is how helpful these conversations are," says Damour. "So my advice to parents is to go ahead and have a conversation about your worries." If you're not sure what to do, just listen,she says. 38 :What can adults do to be helpful when you're upset
39
Nearly all the children surveyed said they "felt happiness a lot," but 45% also felt stressed,38% anxious and 23% sad. "The point here is that kids have lots of moods, good and bad," says Damour.

Kids already have great coping skills that they turn to comfort themselves. 40.
A. It's what we do with them that counts

C.Help your teens get comfortable with making mistakes

In April, 2024, Chinese drone maker DIJ conducted the first trial on Mt Everest. The test showed that the DJI FlyCart 30, 62 long-distance heavy lifter drone, could airlift 234 kilograms per hour, and bring it to the base camp.
"After a 63 (success) test in April, we plan to use drones commercially in the Everest region,"said Jagat Bhusal,chief administration officer 64 hosts Everest. In the fall, the drones will be employed to clean up Ama Dablam, south of Everest. Then in the spring of 2025, the work will begin.

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。
One of the passengers was a small grey man who took the bus to the center for senior citizens every morning. He walked with a sad look on his face when he, with some difficulty,boarded the bus and sat down alone behind the driver. No one ever paid very much attention to him.
Then one July morning he said good morning to the driver and smiled short-sightedly down through the bus before he sat down. The driver nodded guardedly. The rest of us were silent.
The next day, the old man boarded the bus energetically, smiled and said in a loud voice: “And a very good morning to you all!" Some of us looked up, amazed, and murmured “Good morning,”in reply.
The following weeks we noticed our friend was now dressed in a nice old suit and a wide out-of-date tie. The thin hair had been carefully combed. He said good morning to us every day and we gradually began to nod and talk to each other.
One morning he had a bunch of wild flowers in his hand. They were already fading a little because of the heat. The driver turned around smilingly and asked: "Have you got yourself a girlfriend,Charlie ” We never got to know if his name really was “Charlie",but he shook his head shyly and said no.
The other passengers whispered but believed he did it for a good purpose. Charlie bowed and waved the flowers before he sat down on his seat.
Every morning after that, Charlie always brought a flower. Some of the regular passengers began bringing him flowers for his bunch, gently nudged him and said shyly: "Here." Everyone smiled. The men started to joke about it, talk to each other, and share the newspaper.
The summer went by, and autumn was closing in, when one morning Charlie wasn't waiting at his usual stop. When he wasn't there the next day and the day after that, we started wondering if he was sick or-hopefully-on holiday somewhere.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。
Paragraph 1:
When we got nearer to the senior citizen center, one of the passengers asked the driver to wait.
Paragraph 2:
Knowing Charlie's story, all the passengers on the bus burst into a thunder of applause.

Dear Joan,
I'm eager to tell you about the book I shared at our school's reading event - The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint - Exupéry.
I chose this book because it's a profound yet simple fable. Through the little prince's travels among different planets, it reveals the absurdity of grown - up world. For instance, the king who believes he controls everything, showing the vanity and self - delusion.
It also emphasizes the importance of relationships. The bond between the prince and the rose teaches us about love, care, and responsibility. It's a short but thought - provoking book that can touch everyone's heart.
Yours,
Li Hua

Paragraph 1:
When we got nearer to the senior citizen center, one of the passengers asked the driver to wait. A few of us decided to get off and check on Charlie. We entered the building and inquired about him at the front desk. The staff led us to a room where Charlie was lying in bed, looking weak. A nurse told us that he had been diagnosed with a serious illness. He had been going through a tough time, but the flowers and the new - found friendships on the bus had given him so much joy and strength. He had been looking forward to seeing us every day.
Paragraph 2:
Knowing Charlie's story, all the passengers on the bus burst into a thunder of applause. We realized how much of an impact Charlie had made on our lives. From then on, we made it a routine to visit Charlie regularly, bringing him fresh flowers and sharing our daily stories. His presence had transformed our bus rides from silent and dull to warm and friendly. Even though Charlie was facing a difficult battle with his illness, his spirit continued to inspire us, and our little community on the bus became even closer, united by the love and care we shared for him.
