Seven years ago, college senior Joey Romano broke his wrist skateboarding near the University of Texas at Austin. With poor insurance, he worried about the high cost of an ambulance, so he called an Uber instead. The driver, Beni Lukumu, helped him into the car and drove him to urgent care, which quickly sent him to the emergency room (ER).
Learning Romano had no family nearby, Lukumu, who’d immigrated from the Congo at 25 and knew the pain of being far from loved ones, insisted on staying. Despite a busy day of rides, he signed Romano into the ER and sat with him from 2 to 8 p.m., missing hours of work. “He needed somebody to be by his side,” Lukumu later said. At the time, Romano was under treatment and recalled, “I remember feeling glad he was there. He has this warm presence, and strangely, it felt like we had known each other forever.”
Unknown to Lukumu, Romano was in one of the darkest periods of his life. His brother Johnny had died of cancer in 2008, and Romano had a hard time with sorrow. “After losing my brother, I just became really lonely. I could barely take care of myself, let alone others. I shut down and closed myself off. I became really cold,” he said.
Lukumu’s kindness became a turning point. When Romano’s grandmother arrived to take him home and offered a reward, Lukumu refused but joined them for dinner — a gesture that began a friendship lasting over seven years. “That one act of kindness helped me see the good in the world again,” Romano said, “Having him spend his entire day with me — a complete stranger, out of the goodness of his heart — helped me put things into perspective. Lukumu absolutely changed my life.”
Today, Lukumu works in the insurance industry in Austin, while Romano is a renewable energy developer. They check in on each other a couple of times a year. It all started with a shared ride — an encounter they’re both still grateful for.
4. Why did Romano call an Uber instead of an ambulance
A. Because he knew an Uber driver. B. Because he preferred Uber’s service.
C. Because he couldn’t reach an ambulance. D. Because his insurance coverage was limited.
5. What did Lukumu do for Romano at the ER
A. He helped Romano find a doctor. B. He paid for Romano’s medical bills.
C. He managed to contact Romano’s relatives. D. He kept Romano company for several hours.
6. Which word best describes Romano before he met Lukumu
A. Peaceful. B. Regretful. C. Withdrawn. D. Ambitious.
7. What message does the story convey
A. Love and kindness can restore faith in life. B. Good luck can change a hopeless situation.
C. Long-distance friendship requires regular contact. D. Career success comes from unexpected encounters.
C
People have been trying to create glowing (发光) plants for decades. The challenge is making the glow bright enough for our eyes to see. Last year, US biotech company Light Bio launched the Firefly Petunia, the first genetically engineered glowing plant to go on sale. It claims that the plant’s brightness is “similar to moonlight”, but judging from photos on social media, it’s nowhere near as bright as a full moon.
There is a reason why this is so difficult. Plants get their energy from light, but photosynthesis (光合作用) is wildly inefficient. It’s estimated that most plants capture less than 2 percent of the light that falls on them, and they need part of it to survive and grow. That leaves precious little to transform back into light.
Given this fact, plants will never glow bright enough to take the place of streetlights. To solve this, a few groups have instead been trying to physically add phosphors (磷光体), a type of light-storing material that glows in the dark, to adult plants, which are much more efficient than photosynthesis. The problem is getting the phosphor chemicals evenly distributed inside the leaves. But now it’s found that such distribution is easily achieved in certain plants, so brightly phosphorescent plants of various colors are created by adding phosphors into each leaf by hand.
But making plants glow by physically adding phosphors into them is cheating. At the very least, the glow will become weaker if these plants survive and grow larger. There is also a potential pollution issue when the plants die and are thrown out.
If the plants were genetically engineered to make their own long-lasting phosphors that are fully biodegradable, it would be a different story. In fact, giving plants this ability might even boost the efficiency of photosynthesis. Being able to temporarily “store” light could help keep the light steady, transform unusable wave lengths into usable ones and allow photosynthesis to continue into the night. One day, perhaps entire fields will glow in the dark.
8.What makes it hard for plants to glow brightly
A. The low light-use efficiency. B. The influence of the environment.
C. The complexity of plant growth. D. The long photosynthetic process.
9. How do some groups improve the brightness of the plants
A. By thickening their leaves. B. By providing more artificial light.
C. By filling some special chemicals. D. By lengthening their exposure to sunlight.
10. What can we learn about phosphorescent plants
A. They are sensitive to light. B. They have limited color variety.
C. They are expensive to maintain. D. They do harm to the environment.
11. What’s the function of the last paragraph
A. To stress the achievement in plant research.
B. To present ways of taking full advantage of light.
C. To explore the future application of glowing plants.
D. To propose a new research focus in creating glowing plants.
D
An annual report on health and climate change published in The Lancet found that an estimated 2.5 million people die each year as a result of air pollution. It also found that heat exposure deaths have risen sharply by 23 percent since the 1990s. In total, 12 out of 20 health indicators fell to record levels for two years. All health risks of climate change are worsening.
Despite the large numbers of deaths associated with fossil fuel pollution, governments still spent $956 billion funding oil and gas companies in 2023. “We are seeing the expansion of oil and gas globally and that is threatening our survival,” said Dr Marina Romanello, Executive Director of the Lancet Countdown.
New analysis shows the recently drafted national climate plans from more than 60 countries fall short of what is needed to prevent the worst impacts of climate breakdown. Taken together, these plans to reduce carbon over the next decade would only reduce global emissions (排放) by about 10 per cent by 2035 compared with 2019 levels. Dr Romanello said, “The most concerning finding is the declining of climate change commitments and actions from world leaders. Our population is at great risk. In the UK, half of National Health Service (NHS) hospitals have already been forced to close wards (病房) or change services due to flooding, while others struggle during heatwaves.”
Despite these warnings, some progress has been made. Cleaner air due to coal phase-outs has saved an estimated 160,000 lives annually, and renewable energy generation reached record highs. The green economy is now three times faster-growing than fossil fuels, supporting more than 16 million jobs in 2023.
“We’re already seeing big benefits from tackling climate change. We need to ensure that the transition supports people and their well-being and their health. Otherwise the transition will be useless. With every moment of inaction, those threats will worsen, and protecting people will become increasingly challenging, if not impossible,” said Dr Romanello.
12. The author lists the data in paragraph 1 to show ________.
A. the speed of global warming B. the benefits of climate policies
C. the rise of human health indicators D. the impact of climate change on human health
13. What can be inferred about governments from paragraph 2
A. They invest insufficiently in public service. B. They take little consideration of public health.
C. They plan to limit the expansion of oil and gas. D. They are cooperating closely with health experts.
14. What is Dr. Romanello’s attitude towards the national climate plans
A. Doubtful. B. Optimistic. C. Critical. D. Objective.
15. What is the main idea of the passage
A. The economic cost of climate inaction. B. Warnings and progress in the climate crisis.
C. A scientific guide to phasing out fossil fuels. D. The environmental impact of renewable energy.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Nowadays we are quick to take offense, slow to forgive, and often too proud to admit when we are wrong. Yet perhaps if we brushed up our apology skills, we could help relieve the tension in our communities and our world, one honest admission at a time.
____16____ They acknowledge the worth of the person we have wronged and the shared respect that still connects us, even when trust has been broken. In 2016, Professor Roy Lewicki and colleagues examined what makes an apology effective. They identified six essential elements: Expression of regret; Explanation of what went wrong; Acknowledgment of responsibility; Declaration of regret; Offer of repair; Request for forgiveness.
While all six play a role, the researchers found that two stood above the rest: acknowledging responsibility and offering to repair the damage. It turns out that the most powerful words in an apology are the simplest: “It was my fault.” ____17____ It tells the other person that you see what happened clearly and that you are willing to own your part in it. ____18____ As Professor Lewicki points out, talk is… just words. That’s why the second most important part of an apology is the offer of repair. Saying “I’ll fix what I broke” transforms regret into action.
Other elements still matter. But interestingly, the least important piece was asking for forgiveness. Perhaps that’s because it’s not something you can demand. ____19____
We can’t control how the world acts, but we can live out the humbleness and responsibility that make harmony possible. ____20____ In a time when divisions feel unending, a good apology is not just words, it’s an act of repair for the fabric of our shared lives.
A. But responsibility alone is not enough.
B. Apologies matter as they bridge hurt and healing.
C. Still, we all know not all apologies are created equal.
D. A sincere apology releases anger and brings back connection.
E. Taking responsibility breaks down defensiveness and excuses.
F. It’s a gift the other person chooses to give when they’re ready.
G. With these six steps, our conflicts will find a new path forward.

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。
On a cold winter afternoon, six-year-old Lily in a bright red coat, was playing around the frozen pond behind her house. The ice looked like a giant, smooth mirror in the sun. With a joyful laugh, she stepped onto its edge, sliding carefully at first. She slid more bravely imagining herself a figure skater as the ice seemed strong enough to hold her.
Suddenly, a horrible crack (破碎声) disturbed the quiet. The ice beneath her gave way. The cold pond swallowed her whole. “Help” She screamed. Her heavy coat was wet and heavy, pulling her down. She struggled in the cold water. However, each time she tried to grasp the ice edge, it broke. The freezing cold started to replace the panic.
Her neighbor Mr. Jenkins, who was cleaning his driveway next door, heard the crack. His heart beat fast. He moved as fast as he could to the pond. He saw the red coat under the broken ice. “Hold on! I’m coming” he yelled, lying flat on his stomach to spread his weight. He inched forward, and stretched his arm into the freezing water. He tried to reach the coat. With a strength he didn’t know he had, he grabbed Lily’s arm and pulled. She was so heavy.
He managed to pull her head and shoulders onto the solid ice, but he could not lift her fully out. He was exhausted, trembling violently from cold and effort. What Mr. Jenkins could do was keep her face above the water. His voice was a desperate call for help.
It was then that a couple, Cruse and Michelle, passed by. They noticed the heart-stopping scene: the elderly man lay on the ice, pulling a motionless child in the cold water. There was no time for a lengthy plan. Every second in that water reduced the chance of survival.
注意：
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Without hesitation, Cruse dived into the icy pond.

第一节
Dear Chris,
How’s everything going I’m writing to share with you the “Beautiful Villages” photography exhibition held in our school last week.
A large number of students took part in it, showing their photos of beautiful countryside scenery, clean villages, green mountains and kind villagers. These works fully showed the great changes and lovely life in modern rural areas.
I was deeply impressed and felt proud of our countryside. The activity not only broadened my horizons but also made me realize the importance of protecting the environment and loving our home.
第二节 读后续写
Without hesitation, Cruse dived into the icy pond. The freezing water punched the air from his lungs, but he fought the shock, breaking the ice with his elbows toward Lily. “Lock your arm with mine!” he ordered Mr. Jenkins. The elderly man, teeth chattering, managed to hook his arm through Cruse’s belt, anchoring them to the solid ice. Cruse slid his hands under Lily’s armpits, lifting her clear of the water while Michelle crawled forward to drag her red coat. Inch by painful inch, the human chain worked — Cruse lifting, Jenkins anchoring, Michelle pulling — until Lily’s body rolled onto the frozen surface.
Thanks to the teamwork of everyone involved, Lily was sent to the hospital. Wrapped in thermal blankets, she coughed up water and opened her eyes to her parents’ tearful faces. “The red coat,” she whispered, “I saw it in the water...like a flag.” Mr. Jenkins, warmed by hot tea, shook Cruse’s hand with a grip that spoke what words could not. As the doctor announced Lily would recover, the four strangers stood together — an elderly neighbor, a passing couple, a saved child — bound by three minutes on a frozen pond that proved courage spreads faster than cold.

Seven years ago, college senior Joey Romano broke his wrist skateboarding near the University of Texas at Austin. With poor insurance, he worried about the high cost of an ambulance, so he called an Uber instead. The driver, Beni Lukumu, helped him into the car and drove him to urgent care, which quickly sent him to the emergency room (ER).
Learning Romano had no family nearby, Lukumu, who’d immigrated from the Congo at 25 and knew the pain of being far from loved ones, insisted on staying. Despite a busy day of rides, he signed Romano into the ER and sat with him from 2 to 8 p.m., missing hours of work. “He needed somebody to be by his side,” Lukumu later said. At the time, Romano was under treatment and recalled, “I remember feeling glad he was there. He has this warm presence, and strangely, it felt like we had known each other forever.”
Unknown to Lukumu, Romano was in one of the darkest periods of his life. His brother Johnny had died of cancer in 2008, and Romano had a hard time with sorrow. “After losing my brother, I just became really lonely. I could barely take care of myself, let alone others. I shut down and closed myself off. I became really cold,” he said.
Lukumu’s kindness became a turning point. When Romano’s grandmother arrived to take him home and offered a reward, Lukumu refused but joined them for dinner — a gesture that began a friendship lasting over seven years. “That one act of kindness helped me see the good in the world again,” Romano said, “Having him spend his entire day with me — a complete stranger, out of the goodness of his heart — helped me put things into perspective. Lukumu absolutely changed my life.”
Today, Lukumu works in the insurance industry in Austin, while Romano is a renewable energy developer. They check in on each other a couple of times a year. It all started with a shared ride — an encounter they’re both still grateful for.
4. Why did Romano call an Uber instead of an ambulance
A. Because he knew an Uber driver. B. Because he preferred Uber’s service.
C. Because he couldn’t reach an ambulance. D. Because his insurance coverage was limited.
5. What did Lukumu do for Romano at the ER
A. He helped Romano find a doctor. B. He paid for Romano’s medical bills.
C. He managed to contact Romano’s relatives. D. He kept Romano company for several hours.
6. Which word best describes Romano before he met Lukumu
A. Peaceful. B. Regretful. C. Withdrawn. D. Ambitious.
7. What message does the story convey
A. Love and kindness can restore faith in life. B. Good luck can change a hopeless situation.
C. Long-distance friendship requires regular contact. D. Career success comes from unexpected encounters.
C
People have been trying to create glowing (发光) plants for decades. The challenge is making the glow bright enough for our eyes to see. Last year, US biotech company Light Bio launched the Firefly Petunia, the first genetically engineered glowing plant to go on sale. It claims that the plant’s brightness is “similar to moonlight”, but judging from photos on social media, it’s nowhere near as bright as a full moon.
There is a reason why this is so difficult. Plants get their energy from light, but photosynthesis (光合作用) is wildly inefficient. It’s estimated that most plants capture less than 2 percent of the light that falls on them, and they need part of it to survive and grow. That leaves precious little to transform back into light.
Given this fact, plants will never glow bright enough to take the place of streetlights. To solve this, a few groups have instead been trying to physically add phosphors (磷光体), a type of light-storing material that glows in the dark, to adult plants, which are much more efficient than photosynthesis. The problem is getting the phosphor chemicals evenly distributed inside the leaves. But now it’s found that such distribution is easily achieved in certain plants, so brightly phosphorescent plants of various colors are created by adding phosphors into each leaf by hand.
But making plants glow by physically adding phosphors into them is cheating. At the very least, the glow will become weaker if these plants survive and grow larger. There is also a potential pollution issue when the plants die and are thrown out.
If the plants were genetically engineered to make their own long-lasting phosphors that are fully biodegradable, it would be a different story. In fact, giving plants this ability might even boost the efficiency of photosynthesis. Being able to temporarily “store” light could help keep the light steady, transform unusable wave lengths into usable ones and allow photosynthesis to continue into the night. One day, perhaps entire fields will glow in the dark.
8.What makes it hard for plants to glow brightly
A. The low light-use efficiency. B. The influence of the environment.
C. The complexity of plant growth. D. The long photosynthetic process.
9. How do some groups improve the brightness of the plants
A. By thickening their leaves. B. By providing more artificial light.
C. By filling some special chemicals. D. By lengthening their exposure to sunlight.
10. What can we learn about phosphorescent plants
A. They are sensitive to light. B. They have limited color variety.
C. They are expensive to maintain. D. They do harm to the environment.
11. What’s the function of the last paragraph
A. To stress the achievement in plant research.
B. To present ways of taking full advantage of light.
C. To explore the future application of glowing plants.
D. To propose a new research focus in creating glowing plants.
D
An annual report on health and climate change published in The Lancet found that an estimated 2.5 million people die each year as a result of air pollution. It also found that heat exposure deaths have risen sharply by 23 percent since the 1990s. In total, 12 out of 20 health indicators fell to record levels for two years. All health risks of climate change are worsening.
Despite the large numbers of deaths associated with fossil fuel pollution, governments still spent $956 billion funding oil and gas companies in 2023. “We are seeing the expansion of oil and gas globally and that is threatening our survival,” said Dr Marina Romanello, Executive Director of the Lancet Countdown.
New analysis shows the recently drafted national climate plans from more than 60 countries fall short of what is needed to prevent the worst impacts of climate breakdown. Taken together, these plans to reduce carbon over the next decade would only reduce global emissions (排放) by about 10 per cent by 2035 compared with 2019 levels. Dr Romanello said, “The most concerning finding is the declining of climate change commitments and actions from world leaders. Our population is at great risk. In the UK, half of National Health Service (NHS) hospitals have already been forced to close wards (病房) or change services due to flooding, while others struggle during heatwaves.”
Despite these warnings, some progress has been made. Cleaner air due to coal phase-outs has saved an estimated 160,000 lives annually, and renewable energy generation reached record highs. The green economy is now three times faster-growing than fossil fuels, supporting more than 16 million jobs in 2023.
“We’re already seeing big benefits from tackling climate change. We need to ensure that the transition supports people and their well-being and their health. Otherwise the transition will be useless. With every moment of inaction, those threats will worsen, and protecting people will become increasingly challenging, if not impossible,” said Dr Romanello.
12. The author lists the data in paragraph 1 to show ________.
A. the speed of global warming B. the benefits of climate policies
C. the rise of human health indicators D. the impact of climate change on human health
13. What can be inferred about governments from paragraph 2
A. They invest insufficiently in public service. B. They take little consideration of public health.
C. They plan to limit the expansion of oil and gas. D. They are cooperating closely with health experts.
14. What is Dr. Romanello’s attitude towards the national climate plans
A. Doubtful. B. Optimistic. C. Critical. D. Objective.
15. What is the main idea of the passage
A. The economic cost of climate inaction. B. Warnings and progress in the climate crisis.
C. A scientific guide to phasing out fossil fuels. D. The environmental impact of renewable energy.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Nowadays we are quick to take offense, slow to forgive, and often too proud to admit when we are wrong. Yet perhaps if we brushed up our apology skills, we could help relieve the tension in our communities and our world, one honest admission at a time.
____16____ They acknowledge the worth of the person we have wronged and the shared respect that still connects us, even when trust has been broken. In 2016, Professor Roy Lewicki and colleagues examined what makes an apology effective. They identified six essential elements: Expression of regret; Explanation of what went wrong; Acknowledgment of responsibility; Declaration of regret; Offer of repair; Request for forgiveness.
While all six play a role, the researchers found that two stood above the rest: acknowledging responsibility and offering to repair the damage. It turns out that the most powerful words in an apology are the simplest: “It was my fault.” ____17____ It tells the other person that you see what happened clearly and that you are willing to own your part in it. ____18____ As Professor Lewicki points out, talk is… just words. That’s why the second most important part of an apology is the offer of repair. Saying “I’ll fix what I broke” transforms regret into action.
Other elements still matter. But interestingly, the least important piece was asking for forgiveness. Perhaps that’s because it’s not something you can demand. ____19____
We can’t control how the world acts, but we can live out the humbleness and responsibility that make harmony possible. ____20____ In a time when divisions feel unending, a good apology is not just words, it’s an act of repair for the fabric of our shared lives.
A. But responsibility alone is not enough.
B. Apologies matter as they bridge hurt and healing.
C. Still, we all know not all apologies are created equal.
D. A sincere apology releases anger and brings back connection.
E. Taking responsibility breaks down defensiveness and excuses.
F. It’s a gift the other person chooses to give when they’re ready.
G. With these six steps, our conflicts will find a new path forward.

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。
On a cold winter afternoon, six-year-old Lily in a bright red coat, was playing around the frozen pond behind her house. The ice looked like a giant, smooth mirror in the sun. With a joyful laugh, she stepped onto its edge, sliding carefully at first. She slid more bravely imagining herself a figure skater as the ice seemed strong enough to hold her.
Suddenly, a horrible crack (破碎声) disturbed the quiet. The ice beneath her gave way. The cold pond swallowed her whole. “Help” She screamed. Her heavy coat was wet and heavy, pulling her down. She struggled in the cold water. However, each time she tried to grasp the ice edge, it broke. The freezing cold started to replace the panic.
Her neighbor Mr. Jenkins, who was cleaning his driveway next door, heard the crack. His heart beat fast. He moved as fast as he could to the pond. He saw the red coat under the broken ice. “Hold on! I’m coming” he yelled, lying flat on his stomach to spread his weight. He inched forward, and stretched his arm into the freezing water. He tried to reach the coat. With a strength he didn’t know he had, he grabbed Lily’s arm and pulled. She was so heavy.
He managed to pull her head and shoulders onto the solid ice, but he could not lift her fully out. He was exhausted, trembling violently from cold and effort. What Mr. Jenkins could do was keep her face above the water. His voice was a desperate call for help.
It was then that a couple, Cruse and Michelle, passed by. They noticed the heart-stopping scene: the elderly man lay on the ice, pulling a motionless child in the cold water. There was no time for a lengthy plan. Every second in that water reduced the chance of survival.
注意：
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Without hesitation, Cruse dived into the icy pond.

第一节
Dear Chris,
How’s everything going I’m writing to share with you the “Beautiful Villages” photography exhibition held in our school last week.
A large number of students took part in it, showing their photos of beautiful countryside scenery, clean villages, green mountains and kind villagers. These works fully showed the great changes and lovely life in modern rural areas.
I was deeply impressed and felt proud of our countryside. The activity not only broadened my horizons but also made me realize the importance of protecting the environment and loving our home.
第二节 读后续写
Without hesitation, Cruse dived into the icy pond. The freezing water punched the air from his lungs, but he fought the shock, breaking the ice with his elbows toward Lily. “Lock your arm with mine!” he ordered Mr. Jenkins. The elderly man, teeth chattering, managed to hook his arm through Cruse’s belt, anchoring them to the solid ice. Cruse slid his hands under Lily’s armpits, lifting her clear of the water while Michelle crawled forward to drag her red coat. Inch by painful inch, the human chain worked — Cruse lifting, Jenkins anchoring, Michelle pulling — until Lily’s body rolled onto the frozen surface.
Thanks to the teamwork of everyone involved, Lily was sent to the hospital. Wrapped in thermal blankets, she coughed up water and opened her eyes to her parents’ tearful faces. “The red coat,” she whispered, “I saw it in the water...like a flag.” Mr. Jenkins, warmed by hot tea, shook Cruse’s hand with a grip that spoke what words could not. As the doctor announced Lily would recover, the four strangers stood together — an elderly neighbor, a passing couple, a saved child — bound by three minutes on a frozen pond that proved courage spreads faster than cold.
