I used to be a firm resolution-maker, setting big annual goals like running a marathon. I’d start out strong, but
by March, I’d be out of willpower and I’d go quietly back into my old habits. Every winter, I’d feel guilty and
ashamed, looking back at all of the amazing things…I didn’t do.
Two years ago, I was diagnosed with two different cancers at the same time. It requires two different treatment
plans together in the same body. It was tough to deal with them and the following year was incredibly difficult. One
good thing about cancer is that it completely changed my perspective about what I consider “success” and
“failure.” Before, I always felt like I was failing somewhere, but now simply being alive with my family felt like a
huge success. That was when I decided I was done with New Year’s resolutions.
My problem was wanting to “dream big” but lacking the skills and capacity. Now I take the opposite
approach: I’m all about the little goals. They are easy to set and accomplish. Instead of running a marathon, I run
20 minutes three days a week. Every time I check a mini-goal off my list, I feel a burst of pride — I don’t have to
wait until year-end for that feeling.
Almost losing your life is what really makes you realize how fragile (脆弱的) and precious life is — and I
decided I don’t want to waste a minute of it feeling bad or guilty. Cancer gave me a sense of purpose and motivated
me to find a better way to feel successful. I haven’t given up on growth. And I’ve learned that there are better ways
to improve and grow than through New Year’s resolutions.
24. What stopped the author from making New Year’s resolutions?A. Uncertain future. B. Failure in attempts. C. Lack of willpower. D. Unexpected diseases.
25. What are the author’s goals like now?
A. Big but measurable. B. Small and achievable. C. Ambitious but realistic. D. Specific and challenging.
26. How will the author feel now if she fails to achieve her goals?
A. Guilty. B. Hopeful. C. Unburdened. D. Discouraged.
27. Which of the following best describes the author’s lesson?
A. Think twice before you act. B. Break big tasks into small steps.
C. Dream big and dare to fail. D. Hope for the best; prepare for the worst.
C
Think of Christmas, what animals will you have in mind? In the face of climate change, let’s take a look at
how the Christmas-related animals are weathering the warmth.
Reindeer cannot handle the pace and scale of modern warming. It is surprising, given that the species survived
the rapid warming that ended the last Ice Age about 20,000 years ago. Researchers explain that their past
adaptations — spreading into cooler places — are ineffective today. Current warming is global. Their range has
reduced, and cool shelters are rare. Climate models suggest their numbers could shrink by 98% by 2100.
Alarmingly, fewer reindeer could actually make climate change worse. Researchers from Finland and Alaska
found that, in far northern forests, soils release more carbon dioxide rather than storing it. But reindeer can
counteract that effect. If reindeer are grazing (放牧) under the trees, the soil still traps carbon — even when there is
no snow.
However, in warmer tropical seas, another “Christmas” creature presents a different story. Christmas tree
worms are colorful marine worms found in tropical coral reefs, known for their distinctive shape that resembles a
Christmas tree. They may serve as guardians to help protect coral reefs by attaching to corals and staying immobile
for the rest of their lives. The adult worms circulate water around the coral, which helps the coral eat. And baby
coral polyps (珊瑚虫) find shelter under the Christmas tree’s branches, where they can hide from predators like the
sea star. Because of this, scientists think we might be able to use Christmas tree worms as a way of learning about
the health of coral.
A 2022 study by students at the University of California Berkeley found a correlation between healthy coral
and higher numbers of Christmas tree worms. It’s possible that, in the future, these worms could become an early
warning signal — showing scientists where corals are under stress from warming seas.
From Santa’s reindeer to the festive sea worms, our changing world is changing life for creatures great and
small. While some of these animals are struggling, a few may be key to helping us adapt to the future.28. What might happen if the reindeer population grew?
A. Soil would release more nutrients.
B. Other grass-eaters would decline rapidly.
C. Carbon storage in soil might improve.
D. Snow cover would increase significantly.
29. What does the underlined word “counteract” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Find out. B. Adjust to. C. Lead to. D. Cancel out.
30. How do the Christmas tree worms help baby coral polyps?
A. By offering shelter. B. By providing food.
C. By monitoring their health. D. By driving away sea stars.
31. What is probably the best title of this passage?
A. Reindeer’s Struggle: A Christmas Tale B. Tiny Worms: Big Help for Corals
C. Climate Victims: From Reindeer to Corals D. Loss and Hope: Animals in Climate Dilemma
D
When Shenzhen-based M-Star Packaging Company opened its overseas factory in Riverside, California in
2025, the move quickly proved its value. Within three months, the factory received substantial orders from local
customers, a rare early success for a Chinese manufacturer establishing production in America.
This rapid market expansion was driven not just by competitive manufacturing, but also by strategically using
AI to guide decisions before and after entering overseas markets. As China-based companies face rising standard
requirements and geopolitical uncertainty, AI is increasingly being used as a “risk radar” to help companies assess
risks and make evidence-based decisions before investing abroad, according to Gu Lingyun, founder and CEO of
IceKredit, a high-tech company providing AI-powered business services.
One big challenge for China-based companies expanding overseas remains the time-consuming process of
understanding new markets, particularly language, culture and regulatory systems. The AI-driven business
intelligence products are designed to rapidly analyze competitors, market conditions and seasonal trends, providing
decision-makers with actionable insights. According to Gu, more than 500 Chinese clients, have expressed strong
interest in entering the US market by using AI-powered agents to conduct tailored market and product analysis.
From a broader view, AI is reshaping global supply chains. Allen Hao, an AI supply chain expert, says
competitiveness now mainly depends on the ability to adapt, not just size. Citing an MIT report, he notes AI can
handle over 11.7% of U.S. labor tasks, worth about $1.2 trillion in wages. This trend impacts China-based
companies globally: to succeed, they must design local operations for an AI-powered ecosystem from the start.“The age of AI isn’t coming — it’s already here beneath the surface,” Hao stated.
As M-Star’s case shows, AI is enabling a shift from mere market entry to smarter, deeply localized operations.
For China-based companies, this means using AI not just for initial analysis, but for ongoing upgrade of production,
logistics (物流), and market response — ultimately defining the new standard for competitive globalization.
31. What does AI help companies evaluate before the investment?
A. Market size and profit. B. Risks and evidence.
C. Seasonal trends and price. D. Language and culture.
32. What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A. The analysis of the local market. B. Difficulty of cultural understanding.
C. The role of AI in market entry. D. Importance of good manufacturing.
34. Why did Allen Hao mention MIT’s report?
A. To explain AI’s side effects on labor tasks. B. To stress the adaptability in the AI age.
C. To offer advice on AI’s future development. D. To show AI’s decisive role in operation.
35. What will Chinese companies probably do next?
A. Improve operations with AI. B. Raise standards to compete.
C. Use AI for market analysis. D. Reduce costs of production.

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。
It was a warm Friday afternoon. I walked out of the downtown grocery store, carrying fresh vegetables, a loaf
of crusty bread, and a jar of honey my wife had asked me to buy for a week. After a long day in the office, I felt
completely exhausted.
I hurried back to the parking lot, eager to get home and rest, only to make the frustrating discovery: I had
locked my keys and cell phone inside my car. A wave of helplessness washed over me. My wife had the spare keys,
but I couldn’t call her. And there was no one in sight at the parking lot. And there was no way for me to leave
everything beside my car and just walk back to the store to get some help. In a moment of pure annoyance, I kickedthe tire and muttered a few angry words under my breath.
Just then, a seemingly professional cyclist wearing a helmet slowed down nearby. He must have seen my little
outburst. “What’s the matter, sir?” he asked, his voice filled with genuine concern. He looked no more than twenty,
tall and lean, with sun-tanned skin and a bright, open smile that made people feel at ease at once. Sweat glistened
(闪亮) on his forehead, yet his eyes were lively and clear, full of energy and kindness.
I explained my situation, embarrassed, adding, “This is our only car. Even if I called my wife, she couldn’t
bring me the keys.” The mounting sense of helplessness was like a heavy stone pressing down on my chest.
To my surprise, he immediately offered his cell phone. “You can call your wife and tell her I’m coming to get
the key for you,” he said simply, “During the Friday afternoon rush hour, this is probably the best solution.”
注意：
1. 所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右；

One possible version:
Dear Liam,
I’m sorry to hear you’re stressed about balancing studies and rest. It’s totally normal with more courses and
club activities — you’re already doing great keeping up! Don’t be hard on yourself.
Here are some practical tips. First, make a to-do list every day and rank tasks in order of priority — for
instance, homework before the optional club activities. Second, set 25-minute focused study blocks with 5-minute
breaks, which helps avoid burnout. Also, stick to a fixed bedtime; enough sleep boosts concentration. Feel free to
say no to extra activities if your schedule is tight — quality over quantity matters.
I’m sure you’ll find your perfect rhythm soon! Let me know if you need more ideas.
Yours,

One possible version：
I hesitated, mentioning that it would be a seven-mile round trip. I told him it was too far and that I couldn’t
possibly trouble a stranger like that. He laughed lightly, as if distance meant nothing to him. “It’s just a good ride,”
he said cheerfully. I called my wife right away. She was surprised by his kindness and said she’d wait with the
spare key. He adjusted his helmet, and sped off down the road. Watching his figure disappear into the busy street, I
felt both grateful and uneasy, hoping sincerely that he would come back safely.
15 minutes later, he came back with my spare key. Slightly out of breath but still smiling, he handed me the
key as if it were the most natural thing in the world. I tried to pay him for his trouble, but he shook his head firmly.
“Thank you for giving me the chance to set a new personal best record,” he joked and waved me goodbye. As he
rode away, I stood there quietly, realizing how one small act of kindness could brighten an entire day — and stay
with someone far longer than the problem itself.

bottles left there.
W: That’s exactly the problem. We need to ask a teacher for advice on the club and get some more members to join.
M: Miss Johnson would be a good choice. I can talk to her after English class. I think she can give
us useful advice on how to attract more members.
W: Good idea. We also need to plan some activities, putting up posters about environmental protection around the
school could be a good start.
M: I agree. After that, we could organize a cleanup activity. Maybe we could even plant some flowers near theschool buildings.
W: Agreed, let’s get started now.

M: Boys and girls, may I have your attention, please? I have an announcement to make in order to carry out the
keep fit program, we have decided to hold a 10,000 meter race on the afternoon of February 1st. Whether it rains or
not, the race will start at 2 o’clock sharp. All the students with parents’ permission are welcome to join it. Those
who want to take part should fill out the application form and hand in the recent health report before Tuesday
afternoon at the school office on the second floor of the teacher’s building. All participants should gather on the
playground at 1:30 pm. Don’t be late. All the runners are required to circle the playground twice before running out
of our school. Then a police car will lead the way along the victory road. So you can just run after the car. Finally,
all the runners should return to the playground and circle the playground once more. That's all. Thank you.
