For the past two months, I’ve spent weekday evenings and weekends tidying the old book section at
Portland City Library. As an office worker, I sought meaningful after-work tasks — and the library’s volunteer call
for organizing messy back shelves felt perfect. In the section, I found old novels mixed with history books,
yellowed-page books stuffed behind new releases, and some with loose spines ( 书脊) that could fall apart if
handled carelessly. I aimed to arrange these books into different groups, and fix minor damages gently, so readers
could find them easily. So far, I’ve gone through over 150 books, most needing just a little care to be usable.
Some evenings after 6 pm work, I’d head to the library and often find boxes of poetry collections I’d
overlooked under the tables. Mildew (霉点) spotted some books’ covers, so I learned from the librarian to wipe
them with a soft cloth without damaging the pages. Some people who frequently came to read always asked me if
we could keep worn books, such as a 1980s edition of To Kill a Mockingbird. Choosing between a slightly
damaged The Old Man and the Sea and an outdated 1990s travel guide was tough — each book felt like it held
its own story.
I’ve loved old books since childhood — running my fingers over pages feels like connecting with past
readers, and head librarian Ms. Lopez said, “Emily, you handle things with such attention to detail — that’s
exactly what these books need.” Her trust encouraged me to try as hard as I could in this volunteering work.
Very often, I feel worn out — like staying up late on Fridays to fix a book’s loose spine, then waking early
for work the next day. Last week, an elderly man came in looking for a 1970s travel book he’d read as a teen, and
I’d just sorted it onto the “Classic Travel” shelf. His wide smile made all those tiring nights disappear. I’m not
perfect at this work, but I keep going — for the books, and the readers waiting to find them.
24．What was one of Emily’s after-work jobs in the library?
A．Sorting old books by type.
B．Recycling classic books.
C．Organizing new releases by author.
D．Registering damaged books.
25．What can be inferred about the author from paragraph 2?
A．She has a preference for novels.
B．She’s familiar with some readers.
C．She’s interested in writing poetry.
D．She does well in repairing book spines.
26．How does Ms. Lopez find the author?
A．She’s careful.
B．She’s humorous.
C．She’s knowledgeable.
D．She’s demanding.
27．Why was the elderly man mentioned in the last paragraph?
A．To praise his reading habit.
B．To show continuous tiredness.
C．To describe a difficult learner.
D．To prove the significance of the author’s work.

The Underdog Effect is a phenomenon where people are more likely to support those who are regarded as
disadvantaged or less likely to succeed. This doesn’t just happen in sports or competitions; it’s a deep-seated
response that influences our behavior in many areas of life.
At its core, the Underdog Effect is about rooting for those who are clearly at a huge disadvantage. Think of
the classic tale of David and Goliath, where a young shepherd ( 牧羊人) defeats a giant warrior ( 武士) with
nothing but simple weapons like a stone. This story has lasted for centuries, not just because of its dramatic
narrative (叙事), but because it connects with something everyone feels: wanting the weak to defeat the strong.
This effect is not limited to ancient tales. In modern times, we see it in movies, literature, and everyday life.
Characters like Rocky Balboa, Harry Potter, and even companies like Apple in its early days, inspire us because
they show the underdog spirit. We’re drawn to these stories because they reflect a struggle against hardship, and
that struggle is something we can all relate to on some level.
In a broader cultural context, the love for underdogs can be seen across different societies and eras.
Whether it’s a small nation fighting for independence, a startup challenging a corporate giant, or an individual
standing up against systemic injustice, the narrative of the underdog is universally engaging. It’s a proof to the
human spirit’s resilience and the belief that, with enough determination, anyone can succeed despite the odds.
While the Underdog Effect can inspire and unite us, it also has its downsides. Our support for the underdog,
while often well-intentioned, can sometimes lead to unintended consequences and unrealistic expectations.
Despite its potential limitations, the Underdog Effect can be a powerful tool when used thoughtfully and
ethically. Whether you’re looking to motivate yourself, build a brand, or connect with others, understanding how
to use this effect can help you achieve your goals while staying true to your values.
28．What can we learn about the Underdog Effect from the first paragraph?
A．It mainly occurs in sports.
B．It makes people support the strong.
C．It affects people’s behavior in various fields. D．It is a newly discovered social phenomenon.
29．Why does the David and Goliath story last long?
A．It has an exciting plot.
B．It connects people’s feelings.
C．It tells a shepherd’s life.
D．It shows the power of weapons.
30．What does the underlined word “resilience” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Fairness.
B．Width.
C．Desire.
D．Toughness.
31．What is the author’s overall view towards the Underdog Effect?
A．It is an outdated and useless concept.
B．It is a simple trick used in advertising.
C．It has both positive and negative aspects. D．It is completely harmless and beneficial.
D
Keeping food cold often comes with a hidden problem: Traditional ice melts (融化), leaving pools of water
that can make drinks watery, damage products, or even spread dangerous bacteria. Now, researchers at the
University of California, Davis, have created jelly ice, a reusable and biodegradable (可生物降解的) alternative
that cools like ice but never melts into liquid.
The new material is made of 90% water and can be shaped into various forms. It stays solid below freezing,
softens at room temperature, and can be reused by simply washing and refreezing. “Compared to regular ice of the
same shape and size, jelly ice has up to 80% of the cooling efficiency,” said Jiahan Zou, a study researcher, “We
can reuse the material and maintain the heat absorbance across multiple cooling and warning cycles, an advantage
that regular ice cannot offer.”
The project began when UC Davis food scientists noticed how much ice was used in fish-processing plants
and how meltwater could spread bacteria. Seeking a safer option for grocery seafood displays, the team turned to
gelatin a food-safe material whose protein structure can trap water even as it freezes and thaws (解冻).
After years of testing, the researchers perfected a simple, one-step process for making jelly ice. The
material is made from natural components and can be biodegraded after use. It doesn’t contribute to microplastic
pollution, even offering a side benefit of improving tomato plant growth when added to soil.
Beyond grocery stores, jelly ice could have wide applications. It could help preserve medical supplies
during shipping, reduce waste in biotechnology, and provide reliable cooling options. It promises fresher food
shipments without the mess of melting ice packs while also offering a sustainable alternative that reduces
pollution risks and supports agriculture
Although licenses for the technology have already been secured, jelly ice is not yet available for public
purchase. It still requires market analysis, product design, and large-scale production testing. Inspired by its
success, the team is now studying other natural polymers, such as plant-based proteins, to see if similar
innovations can be developed.
32．What is one advantage of jelly ice over traditional ice?
A．Fixed shape.
B．Saving water.
C．Repeated use.
D．Cooling efficiency.
33．What does the author imply about jelly ice in paragraphs 3 and 4?
A．It stretches tomato growing cycles
B．It adopts a bacteria-free material.
C．It shortens the freezing time.
D．It lowers environmental impacts.
34．What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A．The official approval is underway.
B．Jelly ice needs further development.
C．Traditional ice will soon disappear.
D．Other natural polymers will be available.
35．What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．A Game-changer That Controls Bacteria.B．A Cooling Alternative That We Can Order.
C．A Cooling Material That Doesn’t Melt. D．A Quick Fix That Cuts Biological Pollution.

How to Start Mindful Eating
Mindful eating is about waking up to the experience of eating. Experts recommend starting mindful eating
gradually. Aim to eat one or a few meals per week in a slower, more attentive way. 36 Here’s a simple
practice to help you get into a more mindful eating mindset.
● Prepare with intention.
Before eating, take a moment to acknowledge your hunger level and emotional state. Take a few deep
breaths to calm your body and help it shift into “rest and digest” mode. Turn off distractions like your phone, the
TV, or your unfinished work. 37
● Engage your senses.
Observe the colors and shapes of your food. 38 As you eat, pay attention to the flavors and how
the food feels in your mouth. This sensory awareness can help you feel more satisfied and prevent you from
overeating.
● 39
Take small bites and chew each completely. This allows you to fully experience and appreciate the taste and
texture of your food, and helps you digest it better.
● Reflect on fullness and satisfaction.
40 This simple act helps you slow down and check in with your body. Aim to stop eating when
you’re about 80% full to allow your body enough time to register that you’ve eaten enough.
A．Check your hunger.
B．Eat slowly and chew thoroughly.
C．Put your chopsticks down after each bite.
D．In this way you can focus only on your meal.
E．Breathe in the pleasant smell before taking a bite.
F．Then work your way up to making it a daily habit.
G．Eating mindfully can boost mood and improve food choices.

Looked down upon, degraded, rejected. That was how I 41 that day. It was during 7th grade, on
the school’s paved road outside our classroom. Two classes had gathered to play a game. I was 42 to
join, but a classmate refused to let me play on her team.

the heart.

Over the past 15 years, China has built the world’s largest high-speed railway network. The first high-speed
line, officially 56 (launch) in 2008, now stretches over 45,000 kilometers, connecting more than 500
cities across the country. These railways have greatly cut travel time and boosted regional 57 (develop),
making long-distance travel faster and more convenient than ever before.
Each line plays a special role. The Beijing–Shanghai High-Speed Railway cuts travel time between the two
cities from 10 hours to just 4.5 hours, having increased passenger flow 58 nearly 60% in the past
decade. The Fuxing trains connect separate economic zones, giving businesses a larger and 59
(efficient) market. In the Guangzhou–Shenzhen–Hong Kong corridor, the number of daily passengers 60
(rise) from 100,000 to over 300,000 since 2018. The Lanzhou–Xinjiang High-Speed Railway is the only line 61
crosses the vast Gobi Desert, bringing new opportunities to remote areas. The Qingdao–Jinan line 62
(feature) the country’s first self-developed “Fuxing” bullet trains, reaching speeds of up to 350 km/h.
These railways also benefit local people: over 2 million jobs have been created near stations, 63
(earn) an annual income of 20,000–50,000 yuan for families. In 2023, China completed the expansion of the high-
speed network to cover all provincial capitals, 64
i mproving connectivity for millions. A new national
railway law will take effect on January 1, 2026, providing strong support for these engineering 65

Victoria began her day as usual, heading to the kitchen to make some coffee. She preferred using a French
press; the coffee tasted far superior to instant. After a quick breakfast, she showered, got dressed, and headed to
the office.
Jane, the receptionist and Victoria’s childhood friend, greeted her with a cheerful “Good morning. What a
lovely day!” Victoria smiled in response. “Oh, I almost forgot,” Jane continued, “the new interviewee will be here
in 10 minutes. You need to meet a girl for the editor position. Let’s hope she’s better than the others. “Victoria
nodded, acknowledging the need for a new editor, and walked into her office.
As Victoria settled in, there was a knock on her door. She invited the visitor in and saw a young woman,
Katherine, who looked a bit nervous. Katherine introduced herself as the candidate for the editor position. Victoria
offered her a seat and tried to make the interviewee as comfortable as possible. However, Katherine remained
quite anxious. To ease the tension, Victoria invited her for a coffee break. They discovered a shared love for
French press coffee, which seemed to relax Katherine a bit.
After reviewing Katherine’s CV ( 履历), Victoria was impressed. She offered Katherine the job, which
Katherine gratefully accepted. They arranged for Katherine to sign the contract the next day and start immediately.
As Katherine left, Victoria mentioned that Katherine seemed familiar, though she couldn’t quite place where she
knew her from. Jane also felt that the name Katherine sounded familiar.
The next day, Katherine signed her contract and joined Victoria and Jane for lunch. She was more relaxed
and even shared a few jokes. However, halfway through the meal, Victoria suddenly felt dizzy and fainted (晕倒).
Jane asked Katherine to stay with Victoria until she woke up. A few hours later, Victoria regained consciousness
(意识) and asked Katherine to drive her home. On the way, they passed an old, abandoned building. Katherine
mentioned that it used to be her kindergarten, a place where she had many happy memories.
