Zandra Cunningham is the founder of a skincare brand. She has been recognized by the media as one of the
youngest and most successful business owners in America.
When she was a kid, Zandra always loved lip balms(润唇膏) and bought a lot of them. But she found they
eventually hurt her lips instead of relieving the dryness because of all the chemicals in them. She then started
experimenting with different ingredients(成分) together with her mom. They tried a lot of times until they found
the natural and healthy combinations they liked. Slowly, Zandra began selling her products at local farmers’
markets and trade events. Before her 10th birthday, she launched her brand and hoped it would inspire other young
girls.
Soon, it became a challenge for Zandra to separate her personal interests from what her customers usually
wanted. “There are a lot of ideas that I feel are excellent but wouldn’t fit into the market,” she said. Her business
being part of the market, Zandra recognized the issue and improved her products after truly listening to customers.
“There are so many brands doing similar things, but there is still so much room to grow. Your customers are out
there, and you just have to reach out to them. That’s what will set you apart,” the 23-year-old shared.
When asked about her experience as a promising young businesswoman, Zandra said, “It wasn’t frightening.
When you are young, fear doesn’t have a strong hold on your mindset. That maybe it was not going to work never
really crossed my mind.”
Characterized by encouraging statements and featuring a playful color combination, the packaging is a big part
of why Zandra’s business has been so successful. “There are a lot of products on the market that seem natural, but
they actually aren’t,” she said. “I make sure that my packaging can help people understand what each term means,
and how to read and check ingredients.”
24. What contributed to Zandra’s getting into the skincare business?
A. Her goal of providing local people with cheap skin products.
B. Her wish to give a hand to some poor girls.
C. Her interest in doing chemical experiments.D. Her desire to create skin-friendly products.
25. How did Zandra deal with the trouble in her business?
A. She took inspiration from successful businesswomen.
B. She made an effort to meet real market needs.
C. She stood by her own business decisions.
D. She cooperated with powerful brands.
26. Why has Zandra succeeded in her business according to Zandra herself?
A. Her work experience. B. Her parents’ support.
C. Her youthful positivity. D. Her traditional thinking.
27. What does Zandra expect her packaging to do?
A. Encourage customers to be aware of environment problems.
B. Educate customers about product knowledge.
C. Collect customers’ opinions on skincare.
D. Draw customers’ attention to the color.

A breakthrough in electric vehicle (EV) battery design has enabled a 10-minute charge time for a typical EV
battery. The record-breaking combination of a shorter charge time and more energy acquired for a longer travel
range was announced on Oct. 12 in the journal Nature.
“The need for smaller, faster-charging batteries is greater than ever,” said Wang, the William E. Diefenderfer
Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Penn State and lead author on the study. “Because the critical raw materials
are short, there are not enough batteries to meet expected demand.”
In August, California’s Air Resources Board passed an extensive plan to restrict and ultimately ban the sale of
gasoline-powered cars within the state. “If new car sales are going to shift to battery powered electric vehicles,”
Wang explained, “they’ll need to overcome two major drawbacks: They are too slow to recharge and too large to be
efficient and affordable. Instead of taking a few minutes at the gas pump, depending on the battery, some EVs can
take all day to recharge.”
“Our fast-charging technology works for most energy-dense batteries and will open a new possibility to
downsize(缩小尺寸) electric vehicle batteries from 150 to 50 KWH without causing drivers to feel range anxiety,”
said Wang, whose lab partnered with a power company to develop the technology. “The smaller, faster-charging
batteries will dramatically cut down battery cost and usage of critical raw materials, enabling mass adoption of
affordable electric cars.”
“True fast-charging batteries would have immediate impact,” the researchers wrote. “Since there are not
enough raw minerals for every internal combustion(燃烧) engine car to be replaced by a 150 KWH-equipped EV,
fast charging is necessary for EVs to go mainstream.”
“The study’s partner, the power company, is working to manufacture and commercialize the fast-charging
battery for an affordable and sustainable future of vehicle electrification,” Wang said.
28. What is the feature of the new electric vehicle battery?
A. It has an attractive design.B. It has a very long service life.
C. It can make vehicles run much faster.
D. It can be fully charged in a short time.
29. Why is the new electric vehicle battery smaller?
A. Its cost can be greatly reduced.
B. Its electric capacity is much higher.
C. It can be carried by people conveniently.
D. It can improve the safety of running vehicles.
30. What is the content of California’s Air Resources Board’s plan?
A. To reduce the price of raw materials to make car batteries.
B. To promote car batteries that are efficient and affordable.
C. To forbid using gasoline-powered cars eventually.
D. To downsize electric car batteries gradually.
31. In which column of a website can you most probably find the text?
A. Innovation. B. Celebrity. C. Culture. D. Lifestyle.
D
CANOAS, Brazil—A Brazilian horse nicknamed Caramelo by social media users drew national attention after
a television news helicopter filmed him trapped on a rooftop in southern Brazil, where massive floods have killed
more than 113 people. About 24 hours after he was first spotted and with people asking for his condition, a team in
Brazil’s Rio Grande do Sul state successfully removed Caramelo on Thursday, providing some hope for the flooded
region.
The brown horse had been balancing on two narrow pieces of slippery asbestos(石棉) for days in Canoas, a
city in the Porto Alegre metropolitan area, which is one of the hardest-hit areas in the state, much of which has been
isolated by floodwaters.
“We found that the animal was rather debilitated,” Tiago Franco, a firefighter from Sao Paulo sent to lead the
rescue, said. “We tried to approach in a calm way.” Firefighters and veterinarians(兽医) climbed onto the mostly
underwater roof, sedated(给……服镇静剂) and then laid the horse on an inflatable raft—all 350 kilograms of
him. The operation involved four inflatable boats and four large support boats, with firefighters, soldiers and other
volunteers.
The rescue was broadcast live on television networks that filmed the process from their helicopters. Social
media influencer Felipe Neto sent out updates to his almost 17 million followers on X as the rescue was underway.
Afterward, he offered to adopt him. “Caramelo, Brazil loves you!!! My God, what happiness,” he wrote.
President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s wife, Janja, posted a video of herself sharing the good news with theBrazilian leader, whispering into his ear at an official event. He smiled, gave a thumbs-up and hugged her. Rio
Grande do Sul’s Governor Eduardo Leite also celebrated the rescue, posting on X: “All lives matter. We stand
firm!” Caramelo, about 7 years old, is recovering at a veterinary hospital now.
More than 230,000 people have been displaced and another 136 reported missing since heavy rains and
flooding began in Rio Grande do Sul, according to state authorities.
32. What does the underlined word “debilitated” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Intelligent. B. Weak. C. Patient. D. Energetic.
33. Why did the horse climb onto the building?
A. He was possibly scared by a loud sound.
B. He was likely to be driven by someone there.
C. He might want to find something to eat there.
D. He perhaps had no other places to run to due to the flooding.
34. How is Caramelo according to the report?
A. He is getting well again. B. He is being operated on.
C. He has fully recovered. D. He is close to death.
35. What can be the best title for the news report?
A. Brazil cheers as horse rescued from rooftop
B. Horse waiting to be saved from rooftop
C. Rescue broadcast live on television networks
D. Massive floods badly influence Brazil’s state

the idea because the boy had only 30 cents in his pocket.
Recalling the incident, Justice took to Facebook to share about it, writing, “It’s almost as if he read my
45 and responded out loud. I was more than 46 that he wanted to do this with joy. But 47 , I
was hesitant. I didn’t want to give this man just 30 cents. My own pride and thoughts of the homeless individual’s
48 reaction to receiving just two coins were 4 9 in the way.”
The traffic light was about to turn green at any moment, and the thought of a missed opportunity for his son to
practise all that he had taught him made Justice change his mind and 50 his son to give the man the 30
cents.
Justice told himself, “Now that he wants to 51 his money at this moment, you are going to let your
personal self-centeredness(自我中心) 52 a possibly life-long, great memory? Leading by example is what
we’ve been teaching him, so now let him lead.”
Moving on to doing the right thing, Justice rolled down the car’s 5 3 and told the homeless man that he
didn’t have any cash on him and continued to say, “But my son back here wants to give you everything he has right

第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
I have been devoting 56 (I) to working as a journalist since I graduated from college. We live in a new
age of storytelling, with a variety of new multimedia tools. Many young people rely 5 7 them but they don’t
even realize it’s new.
This became clear to me as I was sitting with my 2-year-old grandson on a sofa over the Spring Festival
holiday. Before I accompanied him, a children’s book 58 (buy) by me for him to read. It had simple words
and colorful pictures and was made 59 of ten instructive stories. 60 (objective), it was a perfect
match for his age.
Then one afternoon, with my grandson sitting on my lap, I held the book in front of him so he could see the
pictures. As I was reading, he reached out and delightedly poked(戳) the page with his finger.
What was up with that? He just liked the pictures, I thought. Then I turned the page and continued. He poked
the page even harder, which made me nearly drop the book. 61 (feel) confused, I wished to know his real
62 (motivate).
Then I draw a conclusion from what was happening. He was actually a stranger to books. His father, 63
profession is an engineer, frequently amused the boy with a tablet computer which was loaded with colorful
pictures that came alive when he poked them. His father was also a rather 64 (enthusiasm) volunteer in our
community.
Well, I may be old, but I’m not hopelessly challenged in terms of digital technology. I edit video and produce
audio(音频). I use mobile payment. I’ve even built websites.
I am convinced that there’s a difference between the old and the young in the digital age. I’ve spent little time
in front of a camera, since I have a voice for radio. But that didn’t stop China Daily from asking me last week to
share a personal story 65 (intend) for a video project about the integration(融合) of Beijing, Tianjin and
Hebei province. It was such a memorable event in my life.

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 morning in April, when I found something was wrong with Alice’s mother, it rained. It seemed as if the
Texas sky were sobbing(啜泣). I didn’t know what kind of cancer Mrs. Hastings had until later, but I knew her
condition was serious—very serious.
I love Mr. and Mrs. Hastings almost as much as I love my own parents, and Alice is my best friend. But I
didn’t want to go to school that day. And I sure didn’t want to see Alice.
What could I possibly say to her? What do people say to their friends at such a time? I tried every trick I knew
to avoid going to school. But my mother insisted.
“You have a history test this morning, Linda,” she said, looking at me as if she’d crawled into my mind and
knew I was just making excuses. Then she smiled and said, “Be sure to stay close to Alice, especially today,
because that poor girl is going to need your strength.”
Strength? What was Mother talking about? I had no strength. I didn’t even know what to say to my best friend.
I hid out in the reading room between classes in the hope of avoiding meeting with Alice, but she was never out of
my thoughts. I kept trying to come up with something appropriate to say to her because I really wanted to get it
right.
Alice and I had the last class in Mrs. Green’s class. I’d avoided seeing her all day, I was going to have to face
her in the last period, and I still didn’t have a plan. However, I worried needlessly because Alice never showed up
for class. When the English class was over, Mrs. Green said, “Linda, Alice Hastings is your best friend, and she is
coming here in a few minutes to get her lesson assignments.”
It seemed as if something was torturing(折磨) my heart and I trembled inwardly. I still didn’t know what to
say to Alice, and time was running out.
