Making small choices at home — like opening a refrigerator or starting a washing machine — can be part
of a quiet revolution. Energy-saving appliances are now key tools in saving money and protecting our planet.
The Long-Term Savings
The real cost of an appliance isn’t just its price tag, but what you pay on your energy bills for years.
The table below shows a clearer picture of long-term savings over ten years:
Appliance
Standard
Model (Avg.
cost)

Smarter Homes, Lower Bills
Modern appliances use smart technology to save energy automatically. At CES 2025, Samsung showed an
AI washer that adjusts cycles based on how dirty clothes are. Google Nest can run dishwashers during off-peak
hours when electricity is cheaper, saving up to $100 yearly. The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that
improved appliance efficiency could cut global energy demand by nearly 15% by 2040.

Last month, while on a writing course in Umbria, Italy, I was delighted to watch an elderly couple clean
their messy chestnut orchard (栗子园), followed by their energetic sheepdog. The fallen crop was pulled into a
giant fan that blew their jackets back out onto the ground, and then the nuts were sorted by other family members
on a conveyor belt in the farmhouse — the good ones to be sold in the shell, the less perfect nuts swiftly dropped
into a container for processing.
Later in the week, a truck turned up in the village square to pick up bags from other small local producers.
That evening, I roasted a pan of chestnuts on the fire with new appreciation, while regretting the disappearance
from the streets of London of the chestnut sellers of my childhood.
If you’ve never eaten chestnuts hot from the shell, I strongly urge you to seek them out. The vacuum-
packed (真空包装的) and ready-cooked sort are, of course, extremely convenient, but they’re a quite different
thing from the sweetly smoky, roasted variety, so fresh that you burn your fingers on them and don’t care.
While the season ends eventually, the chestnuts’ association with Christmas means that net bags of them
have already made their annual appearance in greengrocers and supermarkets, no doubt as much for their
decorative value as for their fibre content. Indeed, they were once an important basic food starch in hilly regions
like Umbria and Tuscany. To this day, ground chestnuts pop up in cakes and cookies, breads and soups.
But I’d argue that any such tendency to powderiness is, like so many issues in life, helped by the liberal
addition of fat, as proven by buttery chestnut frangipane tart, smoky bacon and cream cheese, and buttery rice
with pumpkin. So, if you spot some chestnuts at the shops, go and buy them.
24．What does the author intend to show by mentioning the sellers in London?
A．A preference for food.
B．A memory of childhood.
C．Differences between cultures.
D．Dissatisfaction with life.
25．What kind of chestnuts does the author strongly recommend?
A．Vacuum-packed.
B．Ready-cooked.
C．Freshly-roasted.
D．Pre-shelled.
26．What was the main use of chestnuts in Umbria and Tuscany in the past?
A．A decorative item for Christmas.
B．A special ingredient in local desserts.
C．A key source of starch in daily life.
D．A profitable crop for small producers.
27．What can be the best title for the text?
A．Chestnuts: A Bitter Memory
B．Chestnuts: From Orchard to Table
C．My Unforgettable Trip to Umbria
D．The History of Chestnut Growing

Social exclusion, whether from strangers or close friends, can deeply affect our sense of belonging and self-
esteem. Social psychologist Kip Williams, who has spent decades studying this topic, explains that even brief
exclusion — such as being left out of a casual group activity — can have a profound impact. This highlights how
people, even in modern times, are greatly affected by being excluded, with just two minutes of social rejection
showing significant psychological effects.
When friends leave you out, it can feel even worse. It’s easy to jump to conclusions, assuming someone is
mad at you or intentionally distancing themselves. However, experts advise not to immediately assume the worst.
There are various reasons why someone may seem distant — busy schedules, changing priorities, or personal
struggles might be at play. Consulting a neutral friend about the situation can help you gain a different perspective
without jumping into gossip.
If the exclusion becomes a pattern, it may be time to address the issue directly. Initiating a calm, non-
confrontational conversation can help clear the air. Phrasing like, “I’ve been feeling a bit left out lately” can be a
good way to open up the discussion. It’s important to pay attention to how your friends respond, as their reaction
can reveal the health of the friendship. In some cases, if the behavior continues, it may be time to set boundaries
and focus more on those who value and respect your presence.
Finally, give yourself grace. Exclusion hurts because it taps into a fundamental human need — to belong, to
be seen, and to be chosen. When that need is unmet, especially by people we trust, the pain can linger. It’s not
something you can just “shake off,” nor should you be expected to. Allow yourself time to process what happened
without judgment. Sit with the discomfort, name the feelings, and remind yourself that your worth isn’t
determined by someone else’s ability to recognize it.
28．What can we know about social exclusion?
A．It only appears in modern life
B．It doesn’t take long to hurt
C．It reflects spiritual isolation
D．It deepens psychic trauma
29．What does the underlined phrase in paragraph two mean?
A．Relying on subjective interpretations
B．Misunderstanding an innocent friend
C．Gaining information in an reasonable way
D．Spreading personal emotions
30．What is important after a conversation according to paragraph three?
A．Lower self-esteem to please the friend
B．Set a clear boundaries to separate
C．Analyze the severity of the exclusion
D．Assess the health of the friendship
31．Which opinion will the author approve of?
A．Self-improvement prevents future exclusion
B．Belonging is a need we should outgrow
C．Our worth is beyond how others treat us D．We need to let our sense of belonging go
D
In the past, fireproofing materials were made with poisonous, flame-proofing chemicals. These have been
replaced with other chemicals, which are considered safer, but some studies have linked these alternatives with
brain damage and harm to water creatures. Tien Huynh at a University in Melbourne, Australia, and her colleagues
have developed a more eco-friendly fireproofing material using mycelium — the root-like structure of fungus (真
菌).
They grew mycelium from the fungus that can be eaten in containers of liquid molasses — a byproduct of
sugar production. The mycelium grew as blankets on top of the molasses, which the researchers removed and
dried before pressing them into millimetre-thin sheets. When the mycelium sheets were exposed to 800℃ flames,
an outer layer of char (碳化) was quickly generated to prevent the rest of the sheets from burning.
“The material caught fire for about one second then ceased burning,” Huynh says. “The sheets only
produced water and carbon dioxide (CO2) when they were set on fire, making them safer than existing
fireproofing chemicals.”
The team now hopes to develop fire-resistant coating for homes and other buildings out of the fungus,
which could be applied as a wallpaper-thin sheet or made into thicker panels. “The material appears to be highly
durable,” says Huynh. Her team previously used it to make bricks, and she says she has had one sitting in her
room for 10 years that hasn’t shown any signs of breaking down. “I can still jump on it because it’s so strong,” she
says. “The fungus is killed during the drying process, so there is no danger of mushrooms growing out of the
sheets.”
However, scaling up production of the material could be challenging. “The fungus don’t need light or
electricity to grow, but they do need a big space if you want to grow enough for the building industry,” says
Huynh. “Because they’re biological organisms, they’re also easy to be polluted (污染).” But Huynh mentions that
her team has been approached by industry groups that may be able to assist with this scale-up process.
32．How is paragraph 1 organized?
A．History → Current state → Future prediction
B．Problem → Existing solution → New solution
C．Description → Definition → Recommendation
D．Assumption → Supporting details → Conclusion
33．What stops the mycelium sheets from burning?
A．The application of liquid molasses.
B．The absorption of heat by inner parts.
C．The formation of a protective cover.
D．The release of fire-proofing chemicals.
34．How does Huynh emphasize the material’s durability?
A．By giving an example.
B．By quoting others.
C．By making a comparison.
D．By using statistics.
35．What does Huynh think of the production scale-up of the material?
A．It is unlikely.
B．It is easily achievable.
C．It is unrealistic.
D．It is cautiously promising.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Someone makes a statement, and you know it is not true. Most of us can think of those times when we have
smiled and nodded, likely to avoid “making waves”. Sometimes, knowing when to stay quiet is the smart choice.
36 But what about the vast number of times when not speaking your truth influences your emotional health?
Sometimes, silence can quickly backfire and damage your relationships.
When you keep silent repeatedly, it may feel like you are avoiding conflict. 37 We all know that
the “bottle it up and implode or explode later” plan does not work well for any of us. Every unspoken thought
becomes a brick in the wall that grows between you and the other person.
38 If you consistently nod along passively, others will notice when your actions don’t agree with
your words. They may wonder whether you are holding back or not being sincere. If you hold back to avoid
hurting feelings or spare tension, the result may be the opposite.
Your view matters. By staying silent, you lose opportunities to express your feelings. 39 But later,
if you unearth how you really feel, they may feel betrayed (背叛)that you did not open up about your true feelings
earlier on. Continued silence may lead others to assume that you are not interested or that you are emotionally
unavailable.
While silence sometimes may feel like caution and be wise, too much of it gets in the way of closeness and
trust in relationships. 40
A．You’re actually building it up.
B．The growing doubt leads to distance.
C．Others may trust you because you are honest.
D．Trust comes from honesty more than it does from agreement.
E．Speaking up creates connection and conveys a sense of caring in others.
F．This is especially true when the other person tends to get annoyed easily.
G．Others may think your silence is an agreement with what they are saying.

Over the past five years, China has made great progress in building its national park system. The first five
national parks, officially 56 (establish) in 2021, cover 230,000 square kilometers and protect nearly 30%
of the country’s key wildlife species. These parks have joined over 120 nature reserves together, greatly improving
ecosystem health and long-term 57 (stable).
Each park plays a special role. The Sanjiangyuan National Park protects the sources of three major rivers,
having increased their water flow 58 nearly 50% in the past five years. The Giant Panda National Park
connects separate panda habitats, giving the animals a larger and 59 (safe) home. In the Northeast Tiger
and leopard National Park, the number of wild tigers 60 (grow) from 27 to about 70 since 2017. The
Hainan tropical Rainforest National Park is the only place 61 the Hainan gibbon population has been
steadily rising. Wuyishan National Park 62 (hold) the world’s most complete mid-subtropical forest
ecosystem at its latitude.
The parks also benefit local people: nearly 50,000 residents have found park-related jobs near their homes,
63 (earn) 10,000 — 20,000 yuan yearly. In August 2024, China completed property rights registration for
these parks, clarifying ownership 64 responsibilities. A new national park law will take effect on January
1, 2026, providing strong legal protection for these natural 65 (treasure).

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。
As a senior high school student, Eric always thought he was old enough to make his own decisions and
hated being told what to do. One Friday evening, his parents had to leave for his grandma’s home overnight
because she was seriously ill. They asked Eric to stay home alone, reminding him repeatedly to lock the door, turn
off the lights before bed and avoid watching TV for too long.
However, Eric felt annoyed by their endless nagging.“I’m not a little kid anymore! I can take good care of
myself,”he shouted impatiently. His parents shook their heads helplessly and left with a heavy heart. The moment
they drove away, Eric sighed with relief. He threw his schoolbag aside, turned on the TV and watched his
favourite football match excitedly. So absorbed was he in the game that he totally forgot the time and all his
parents’ warnings.
Suddenly, the screen went black — a power cut! Eric was about to check the fuse box( 保险丝盒)when he
heard a soft, rustling sound(沙沙声)from the kitchen. His heart pounded wildly. He recalled the news about a thief
breaking into a nearby house just last week. Trembling with fear, he grabbed a baseball bat by the door and tiptoed
cautiously(踮着脚小心地)towards the kitchen.
注意：续写词数应为 150 左右。
Eric slowly pushed open the kitchen door, baseball bat raised high.
