At the age of 16, Li Mei noticed that many elderly people in her village struggled to use smartphones, which
made it hard for them to access online services like medical appointments and grocery (杂货) delivery. Determined
to help, she started a free digital literacy (读写能力) class for seniors in her community.
At first, only a few people joined her class. Some were skeptical (怀疑的), while others were too shy to ask
questions. But Li Mei didn’t give up easily. She created simple, step-by-step guides in Chinese and used real-life
examples to teach basic skills like making video calls and ordering food online.
Over time, more and more seniors joined her class. Word spread, and soon other villages began to ask for her
help. By 2026, Li Mei’s initiative had expanded to 12 villages, with over 300 senior citizens learning digital skills.
Her work has not only made life easier for the elderly but also bridged the digital divide between
generations. “I used to feel left behind by technology,” said 78-year-old Wang Ayi, “but now I can video call my
grandson and order medicine online. Li Mei has changed my life.”
Li Mei was recently awarded the “Youth Volunteer of the Year” prize. “I believe that small acts of kindness
can create big changes,” she said. “Everyone can make a difference, no matter how young or old they are.”
24．What inspired Li Mei to start the digital literacy class?
A．The elderly’s struggle with digital technology.B．Her own difficulty using smartphones.
C．A request from the local government.
D．Her desire to win a volunteer award.
25．How did Li Mei teach the seniors?
A．By creating simple guides.
B．By using hard technical terms.
C．By holding online classes only.
D．By asking other volunteers to help.
26．What words can best describe Li Mei?
A．Proud and cold.
B．Patient and kind.
C．Stupid and lazy.
D．Careful and crazy.
27．What can we learn from Li Mei’s story?
A．Small actions can lead to big changes.
B．Young people are too busy to volunteer.
C．Only professionals can solve social problems.
D．Technology always makes life harder for the elderly.

In recent years, consumers have increasingly sought “clean-label” foods — products made with natural
ingredients. This trend has driven scientists to search for safe, natural preservatives (防腐剂，保护剂). They have
turned their attention to a part of the cashew nut (腰果) that is often thrown away — the shell. From it, they extract
Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL) and find that it contains special natural substances that can fight bacteria and
prevent decay (变质). While this dark liquid has been studied for use in industries like paint and medicine, its
potential for preserving food had not been fully explored until now.
The scientists designed a careful experiment to test whether CNSL could help preserve beef, one of the most
widely consumed meats globally. They applied the liquid to beef samples at different concentrations (含量、浓度).
Some meat was left untreated as controls. The samples were then stored under different conditions — some at room
temperature and others in refrigeration — for two weeks.
During storage, a detailed microbiological evaluation was conducted to quantify total viable (活菌) counts
and specific spoilage organisms ( 腐败菌), including Pseudomonas spp., Clostridium spp., and Proteus spp.
Physicochemical analyses monitored changes in pH and water activity, while bacteria growth was assessed during
storage at room temperature. The scientists discovered that the CNSL-treated meat showed significantly less
bacterial growth than untreated meat. The effect was strongest at higher concentrations, with a 2.0% solution
providing excellent protection while maintaining meat quality. Even at room temperature, it effectively delayed the
meat’s souring process and reduced bacteria growth, helping the beef stay fresh-looking longer.
The researchers note that further studies are needed to understand whether the liquid affects the taste and
texture of the beef, and how it might be combined with modern packaging for even better results. Still, this study
opens a window into nature’s own way of keeping food fresh — hidden inside a humble cashew shell.
28．Why are scientists studying cashew nut shells?
A．To reduce waste in the food industry.
B．To improve the taste of processed foods.
C．To find natural alternatives to artificial preservatives.
D．To develop new industrial materials for paint and medicine.
29．What was the primary focus of the microbiological evaluation?
A．The variety of cashew species.
B．The safety of refrigerated beef.
C．The changes in pH and water activity.
D．The effectiveness of CNSL against bacteria.
30．What does the experiment suggest about CNSL?
A．It can improve meat quality over time.
B．It performs best at room temperature.
C．It speeds up the meat’s souring process.
D．Its concentration and the storage life are closely related.
31．What is the author’s attitude towards the future of CNSL?
A．Fully convinced.
B．Cautiously optimistic.
C．Hesitant and doubtful.
D．Neutral and objective.

The grammar school boy from Stratford-Upon-Avon has made headlines again after a groundbreaking study
showed that Shakespeare does benefit children’s literacy and emotional development, but only if they can act him
out.
The study found that a drama-based approach to teaching Shakespeare broadened children’s vocabulary,
improved the quality of their writing, and enhanced their emotional understanding. “The way actors work makes a
big difference to how children use language and how they think about themselves,” said Jacqui O’Hanlon, lead
researcher of the study.
The random trial involved hundreds of Year 5 pupils (aged nine and ten) at 45 state primary schools. The
children were divided into a target group and a control group. Both groups read a passage from Romeo and Juliet
and were asked to write a letter as Romeo after being separated from Juliet. Before writing, the target group took
part in a 30-minute drama-based activity, while the control group did not.
It was shown that pupils in the target group drew on a wider vocabulary, used more complicated or rarer
words, and wrote at greater length. They also appeared more comfortable writing in role. While pupils in the
control group imagined how they themselves would react to being separated from a loved one, children in the target
group put themselves in Romeo’s shoes and expressed that character’s emotion.
O’Hanlon said she had been most surprised by the emotional understanding evident in the children’s writing,
and that they showed deeper empathy and expressed emotions more vividly. “It is probably related to the drama-
based process, where you are used to trying to think and feel as the character,” she added.
But could the results be reproduced with any old dramatists? O’Hanlon said more research would be needed
but suggested that Shakespeare’s use of 20,000 words, compared with the everyday 2,000 words, gave a massive
expansion of language into children’s lives, which was combined with children using their whole bodies to bring
words to life.
32．What does the study encourage children to do?
A．Perform Shakespeare’s works.
B．Write their own original plays.
C．Learn Shakespeare’s lines by heart.
D．Watch professional acting on stage.
33．Which aspect of the study does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A．Its procedure.
B．Its background.
C．Its purpose.
D．Its significance.
34．What impressed O’Hanlon most about the target group’s writing?
A．Passage fluency.
B．Emotional depth.
C．Word complexity.
D．Plot imagination.
35．What can be learned from the text?
A．Practice makes perfect.
B．Learning by doing works best.
C．Reading makes a full man.
D．Words are the voice of the mind.

Do you ever feel stuck when facing a difficult task, thinking, “I’m just not good at this”? This is a sign of a
fixed mindset. 36 A growth mindset means believing your abilities can improve with effort and learning.
Developing this mindset can make you more resilient and successful. Here are some practical ways to build it.
First, pay attention to your self-talk. The words you say to yourself matter. When you make a mistake,
instead of thinking “I failed,” try thinking, “This is a chance to learn.” 37 For example, if you get a low
score on a math test, a fixed mindset would say, “I’m bad at math.” A growth mindset would say, “I need to find a
better way to study this topic.”
38 Challenges are not threats; they are opportunities to grow. When you try something hard, your
brain forms new connections. Don’t avoid difficult tasks. Embrace them. Start with small challenges and gradually
take on bigger ones. Each time you push through, you prove to yourself that effort leads to improvement.
Another key is to value the process over the result. 39 Praise yourself for the hard work you put in,
not just for a perfect outcome. Did you practice piano for an hour every day? That’s worth celebrating, even if the
recital wasn’t flawless. This shift in focus makes you more willing to keep trying.
Finally, learn from others. 40 Talk to people who have overcome obstacles. Read stories about
famous scientists or artists who failed many times before succeeding. Their journeys remind us that struggle is a
normal part of the path to mastery.
Remember, developing a growth mindset is a journey itself. It won’t happen overnight. But by practicing
these steps, you can train your brain to see possibilities instead of limitations.
A．This simple change in language can shift your perspective.
B．However, you can choose to develop a different way of thinking.
C．Therefore, you should always ask for help immediately.
D．Second, see challenges as opportunities.
E．For instance, watching others succeed can make you feel jealous.
F．It’s important to focus on your effort and strategies, not just the final grade or score.
G．Surround yourself with people who have a growth mindset.

Johnmarshall Reeve, a professor at an Australian university, has spent two decades studying what happens
when kids are given some agency ( 自主权) in school. He and other researchers found that when students are
allowed some 41 to take their own initiative (倡议), they are more 42 in class and better able
to master new skills, they have better grades and 43 problems with peers and they are happier, too.
Importantly, teachers do not need to change the curriculum they teach or change their disciplinary (学科的)
44 . They just need apply a few new teaching practices in the course of their 45 lesson.
Mr. Reeve suggested teachers use a 46 tone rather than controlling. Controlling language shuts
students down. “They’ll put up a shield (屏障) and block you out,” Mr. Reeve told us. Reasoning language 47
the shield. Kids open up.
So, instead of “Here is an example of a good essay. Please go write one,” the teacher might say: “What is
your 48 for this first draft?” Rather than simply being told, students 49 what they need to
accomplish and develop a plan to make it happen. Teachers monitor and 50 them along the way.
This is how agency is built. No adult can 51 a student to be self-driven. Children develop the skill
the way they learn anything else: with 52 . The act of setting the goal makes it more 53 .
Just as the developmental psychologist Aliza Pressman says: “Let kids do for themselves what they can
already do. And 54 and encourage them to do things they can almost do. And then teach and model for
them the things that they can’t do.” This is how adults can help children build 55 .

Qi Qiulan, a 62-year-old silk weaver from Suzhou, is a living link to an embroidery craft 56 (date)
from the Ming Dynasty in an unbroken chain. Her great-grandmother stitched dragon robes for the Forbidden City.
Her mother decorated pillowcases 57 embroidery in the 1960s and stitched obi for Japanese export in the
1970s. Qi herself dressed world leaders 58 built a business, which proves handmade luxury can thrive in
an age of machines.
For Qi, this craftsmanship is 59 (simple) in her blood. She learned the skills as a child, calling it
“children’s kung fu.” In 1988, she ran a tiny shop in Suzhou, often forgetting to eat while working. That shop
eventually grew into a chain of more than 30 flagship stores. Since then, her expertise 60 (pass) to the

67．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。
My mom is 83 years old and I love her deeply, but there are moments when my patience wears thin,
especially when I’ve repeated myself 10 times because she refuses to wear a hearing aid out of vanity (虚荣心).
Not long ago, we had a misunderstanding over her medication (药物治疗). She was still clear-minded, but of
course she forgot things at times and when I questioned her, she got defensive. When I saw she hadn’t been taking a
certain medication, anger replaced patience. She insisted she didn’t need it anymore; I accused her of ignoring the
doctor’s orders and putting her health at risk. We went back and forth, until I realized that she was crying.
My immigrant, hard-working mom had made a million sacrifices for us. Seeing her cry broke something
within me. My anger immediately disappeared and I hugged her.
Tears gave way to words. She said, “I am upset because I feel useless, because my body isn’t doing what it
used to and I even can’t make it to the market on my own.” Her words hit my heart and reminded me that she was
struggling with things I didn’t always see. In that moment, I knew my reaction had only added to her pain.
I messaged her doctor, who confirmed the medication had been removed. The shame I felt was so intense
that it made my stomach turn. I apologized. “Forgive me, mom. You’re right and they removed it. I’m so sorry.”
And her response was exactly what I knew it would be. She said, “No, it’s OK. I know you’re always looking out
for me.” She meant it, too. We talked a while longer, and the more she shared, the better she felt. Half an hour later
she was laughing and reminding me I’d promised to take her to the market she liked.
I was relieved she felt better, but I felt deeply unsettled. I felt a deep sense of shame. We had been raised to
respect our parents, to never raise our voices at them. However, that was exactly what I did.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150 词左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
The next morning I told my mom I was going to take her to a place.
