W: Could you explain why you believe you’re a good fit for our team?
M: Certainly. One of my strengths is building long-term customer relationships. For example, when I headed the
customer support department at my previous company, our team resolved about three quarters of our customer
issues. I decided we needed better information and technical preparation on our products. So after I conducted a
few training exercises with our technical department, we were able to do much better. Given the opportunity, I’m
confident I can copy this success here.
W: Amazing! What would you say is your weakness?

【原文】W: Dear Amy,
How are you? I want to share something about my day at high school here in China.
Every morning, I wake up at 6:30 and after a quick breakfast, I take the bus to school. Classes start at 8:00 o’
clock. We have a short break in the morning where I catch up with my friends.
In the afternoon, we have more classes like history, geography, and science. School ends at 5:00 p.m., but I
often stay for extra-curricular activities. I joined the art club and the basketball team. These activities have helped
me make new friends and feel more connected to the school community.
The workload in high school is heavier than in middle school, and I am still getting used to the longer hours.
However, my teachers and classmates are very supportive, which makes the transition easier.
I miss you a lot and hope we can meet during the holidays. I can’t wait to tell you more about my school life in
person. Take care and write back soon!
Best wishes,
Liu Xin

B
Iqbal Hussain uses real events in his new story. A book that includes your own experiences is more difficult
than it looks. “Sometimes your own life is interesting to you but it might not be interesting to anybody else reading
about it, so you have to really decide which bits you want to write about,” he tells The Week Junior. In the end, he
says, it becomes a “strange mixture” of fact and fiction.
His first children’s book, The Night I Borrowed Time, is about a young boy called Zubair, who inherits the
ability to time travel. He uses this skill to try to fix his parents’ marriage but discovers that changing the past to fix
the present is far from easy.
Like Zubair, Hussain grew up in Blackburn, England, and is part of a large family; he’s the youngest of six
children. Hussain’s childhood home — like Zubair’s — was a busy, noisy place where he could find his siblings
annoying but missed them if they weren’t around. There are also parts of the story that don’t reflect Hussain’s own
life. “Sadly,” he says, “I can’t time travel.”
In the book, Zubair’s granny arrives in the UK from Pakistan. Hussain’s own gran lived in Pakistan but he has
few memories of her because it was too expensive for the family to visit. “I thought this was a really lovely way of
righting that wrong,” he says. “I can get to know a fictional granny for this young character.”
The book deals with some difficult topics, including the partition of India in 1947 — a time period that Zubair
travels back to visit. Partition was when India gained independence from Britain, which had ruled it for a long time,
and it was divided into two countries: India and Pakistan. It was a chaotic and violent period of history and Hussain
felt it was important to write about it. “Sometimes we have to look at difficult topics in order to make sense of what
might be going on in the world now,” he says.
24. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To explain why Hussain’s book is difficult to understand.
B. To encourage readers to write about their own lives.
C. To show that Hussain’s life is more interesting than his book.
D. To show the challenge of writing based on personal experience.
25. What do Hussain and his character Zubair differ in?
A. Writing skills.
B. Attitudes toward family.
C. The ability to time travel.
D. State of their parents’ marriage.
26. Why did Hussain have limited memories of his granny?
A. Because they couldn’t afford the travel.
B. Because they didn’t care about each other.
C. Because they were too busy.
D. Because the war separated them.
27. Why did Hussain include the topic of the partition of India in his book?
A. Because Zubair travels back to that time.
B. Because it helps explain current world issues.
C. Because it is a happy and exciting period.
D. Because his family experienced it directly.
【答案】24. D 25. C 26. A 27. B
C
Every year, about 11 million metric tons of plastic waste flow into the ocean. That’s similar to dumping a
garbage truck full of plastic into the sea every minute. If no action is taken, scientists predict that by 2050, there
could be more plastic in the ocean than fish.
For years, the common belief was that it would take thousands of years to clean up the ocean plastic. The task
seemed too big, too expensive, and too impossible. But a young Dutch inventor named Boyan Slat refused to accept
this. At just 16 years old, while diving in Greece, he was shocked to see more plastic bags than fish. He decided
then that something had to be done.
In 2013, at age 18, Slat dropped out of university and founded The Ocean Cleanup, a nonprofit organization.
His idea was radical: instead of chasing plastic with boats and nets — which would take thousands of years and
cost billions — why not let the ocean currents (洋流) do the work? He designed a U-shaped floating pipe that drifts
with the currents, acting like a giant artificial coastline. It traps plastic while allowing marine life to swim safely
underneath.
For years, critics said it wouldn’t work. Engineers warned that the system might break in rough seas.
Environmentalists worried it would harm sea creatures. But Slat and his team kept testing and improving. After
several failed attempts in the Pacific Ocean, they finally achieved a breakthrough in 2021. Their System 002,
nicknamed “Jenny”, successfully collected and removed plastic waste from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
The results have been promising. In 2023, The Ocean Cleanup announced that they had removed over 1
million kilograms of plastic from the ocean. But perhaps more exciting is their new invention: the “Interceptor”.
This solar-powered barge is designed to stop plastic before it reaches the ocean. Placed in polluted rivers — which
carry 80% of ocean plastic — it sucks trash out of the water like a vacuum cleaner. Already, Interceptors are
operating in countries like Indonesia, Malaysia, and the United States.
Slat, now in his late 20s, remains focused on the goal: to remove 90% of floating ocean plastic by 2040. He
admits the challenge is enormous. “It’s like trying to mop the floor while the tap is still running,” he says. That’s
why the Interceptor is so important — it turns off the tap.
The Ocean Cleanup’s work shows that age is no barrier to making a difference. What started as a teenager’s
science project has grown into a global movement, employing over 120 engineers and scientists. While the problem
of ocean plastic is far from solved, Slat’s story reminds us that sometimes the biggest challenges just need someone
young enough to believe they’re possible.
28. According to the passage, what makes Boyan Slat’s design different from traditional cleaning methods?
A. It uses boats and nets to collect plastic.
B. It relies on ocean currents to trap plastic.
C. It requires divers to pick up plastic by hand.
D. It burns the plastic directly in the ocean.
29. The word “radical” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _________.
A. traditional and widely accepted
B. safe and carefully planned
C. extreme and completely new
D. expensive and difficult to build
30. Why does Boyan Slat compare cleaning the ocean to “mopping the floor while the tap is still running” in
paragraph 6?
A. To explain that new plastic keeps entering the ocean.
B. To show that cleaning the ocean is a dirty job.
C. To suggest that people should stop using plastic completely.
D. To prove that his invention works better than mops.
31. What can we infer about Boyan Slat from the passage?
A. His Ocean Cleanup succeeded on their first attempt.
B. He believes the ocean will be fully clean by 2040.
C. He invented the Interceptor before System 002.
D. He gave up his education to follow his passion.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. A 31. D
D
Recently, a U. S. company named Colossal Laboratories &. Biosciences announced a striking breakthrough:
they have successfully created “woolly mice” possessing long, heavy, golden hair. This is not merely about creating
a new rodent (啮齿动物) species but is part of the company’s bigger ambition — to “recover” the long-extinct
woolly mammoth, or more accurately, to create a modern Asian elephant variant functionally similar to its ancient
relative.
How were these woolly mice created? Scientists employed advanced gene-editing technology. They began by
precisely modifying the DNA of ordinary mouse cells in the lab, inserting gene combinations associated with the
woolly mammoth’s characteristic coat. Subsequently, these edited cells were injected into mouse embryos (胚胎).
To identify the most effective genetic combination, the researchers tested various pairings and ultimately succeeded
in producing these experimental mice with noticeable golden, long hair.
The final objective of this research extends far beyond creating a furry rodent. Colossal’s core plan centers on
the Asian elephant — the closest living relative of the mammoth, though an endangered species itself. By
extensively editing its genome and combining genes related to cold resistance — such as those for thick wool,
substantial fat, and small ears, extracted from mammoth remains preserved in permafrost, the company aims to
create a “modern mammoth” capable of surviving in cold environments like the Siberian.
Beyond the scientific vision lies an ecological reason. The company believes that if these large animals could
once again hang out in the Arctic, they might act as “ecosystem engineers.” Their heavy footsteps would compact
the snow, reducing its insulating effect and thereby slowing the melting of the permafrost layer ( 永冻层).
Furthermore, their hunting habits could promote the growth of grasslands, which may help separate carbon.
Nonetheless, the scientific community keeps reserved. Experts point out that engineering an elephant is far more
complex than modifying a mouse, as elephant genetics are significantly less understood, and their gestation period
is much longer, making experimentation a far slower and more challenging process.
32. According to the passage, how did scientists create the woolly mice?
A. They modified mice with woolly mammoth tissue samples.
B. They inserted Asian elephant DNA directly into adult mice.
C. They gradually raised mice in extremely cold environments.
D. They injected mouse embryos with edited cells with mammoth genes.
33. What is Colossal’s ultimate plan regarding the woolly mammoth?
A. To create a cold-resistant elephant that is like the mammoth.
B. To find a perfectly preserved mammoth cell for cloning.
C. To bring the exact woolly mammoth species back to life.
D. To protect Asian elephants by giving them mammoth genes.
34. Why do some scientists have reservations about Colossal’s plan?
A. Because mice are not suitable for genetic testing.
B. Because the Arctic tundra is too damaged for large animals.
C. Because editing elephant genes is more challenging.
D. Because they believe the woolly mammoth should remain extinct.
35. The phrase “ecosystem engineers” in the last paragraph refers to the idea that mammoths could ________.
A. build physical structures like dams and nests.
B. could stop the melting of the permafrost layer.
C. be trained to restore the Arctic ecosystem.
D. benefit the environment through their natural behaviors.
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. C 35. D
第二节（共5 小题；每小题2.5 分，满分12.5 分）
根据短文内容，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。
The tiny egg cell you grew from was smaller than the head of a pin. By the time you are fully grown, your
body will be up to 20,000 times larger. That’s a huge change.
In all animals, including humans, growth happens as cells get bigger, divide and connect. Even after you stop
getting taller, new cells keep growing to replace old ones that die or are recycled every day.
____36____ By age 10, your head is almost as big as an adult’s, but the rest of your body may take 10 more
years to grow to full size. Inside your body, your heart, lungs, liver and other organs all grow at different speeds.
You grow taller as your spine and the long bones in your arms and legs lengthen. But this growth is not steady.
It speeds up during two major periods: one as a baby and another as a teenager. In your first year alone, you grew
about 25 centimeters! After that, growth slows to 3 to 8 centimeters per year. ____37____
But your body can’t keep growing forever. You might wish to be very tall, but that won’t happen. Like other
animals, humans have evolved to a proper size. We grow until we are big enough to live independently. How big
you will become is written in your DNA. Your DNA is like a long instruction book for your body. DNA tells each
cell what to be and whether it should keep dividing, or stop.
Chemical messengers called hormones control much of your growth. Hormones are made in special glands
and travel through your blood, sending messages to cells. ____38____ As a baby and during adolescence,
hormones increase quickly. Girls usually have their growth spurt earlier, so they are often taller than boys for a few
years at school.
____39____ Growth takes place as cells enlarge, divide and form tissues and organs. Even when you stop
getting taller, your body continues to renew itself as old cells die and new cells take their place. Your skin, muscles,
blood, bones and even your brain keep regenerating nonstop. Every 7 to 10 years, your body replaces almost all its
cells. ____40____
A. In a way, your body never stops growing.
B. Your body produces different hormone levels at different ages.
C. Growth happens all over your body, and different body parts grow at different speeds.
D. So, in a sense, you’re not the same person you were even a few years ago!
E. When you reach adolescence, you may shoot up by 10 centimeters a year or more.
F. Your body will stop growing once you have enough hormones.
G. Cells divide only when you are a baby and a teenager.
【答案】36. C 37. E 38. B 39. A 40. D

The Runner Who Couldn’t Run
Leo had always been the kid who finished last. In elementary school, he was the slowest in the footraces. In
middle school, he was always picked last for team sports. He accepted it as a fact: he just wasn’t built for speed. So
when his new high school announced a mandatory mile run in gym class, his stomach dropped.
The first day of the run arrived. The other boys joked and stretched, their sneakers bright and new. Leo stood
at the edge of the track, his heart thumping against his ribs. The coach blew the whistle, and the pack sprinted
ahead. Leo started at his usual slow, steady jog. Within the first lap, he was alone. The distance between him and
the others grew with every stride. He wasn’t a runner; he was a loner, chugging along while everyone else was
already finished.
By the second lap, his lungs burned and his legs felt like heavy logs. He saw some of his classmates already
standing at the finish line, drinking water and laughing. A wave of hot shame washed over him. His mind screamed,
“Just stop. Walk. It doesn’t matter. You’re last anyway.” The urge to quit was a physical force, pulling at his feet.
But then, a small, stubborn voice inside him answered back. “So what if you’re last? You’re still moving.” He
didn’t speed up. He didn’t suddenly find a hidden talent for running. He just kept putting one foot in front of the
other. He focused on the sound of his own breathing and the feeling of the gravel under his shoes. He stopped
looking at the kids at the finish line and just looked at the path ahead of him.
When he finally crossed the line, long after everyone else, the coach was the only one waiting. He didn’t say
“good job” or “way to go.” He just looked at Leo, then down at his stopwatch, and gave a single, slow nod. Leo
didn’t feel like a winner. His body ached, and his pride was a little bruised. But as he walked to the water fountain,
he felt something else — a quiet, steady sense of surprise. He had wanted to stop. Every part of him had wanted to
quit. But he hadn’t.
That night, Leo couldn’t sleep. He kept replaying the run in his mind — not the part where he finished last, but
the moment when he chose to keep going. The next morning, he woke up before sunrise. Without overthinking it,
he put on his old sneakers and walked out the door. The street was empty and silent. He started jogging. Just one
block. Then he turned around and jogged back. It wasn’t much, but it was a beginning.

【答案】
Over the following weeks, Leo kept showing up. He ran before school every day, sometimes adding a little
extra distance after dinner. He still wasn’t fast, his times improving only by tiny seconds that no one but him
noticed. But he felt the change: his breathing steadied faster, his legs ached less, and he could go longer without
wanting to stop. One cool morning, as he loped along his usual route, he realized he wasn’t forcing himself
anymore. It felt less like a chore and more like something he did just for himself — a quiet victory only he knew
about.
