B
When I was growing up, my dad spoke to me of Mr. Kosuge, as “your Japanese uncle.” My dad got to know him
in 1991 in Beijing. They became fast friends, bonding over a curiosity about the other’s culture.
After my dad moved to Tennessee in 1993, Mr. Kosuge sent a holiday package to wish my parents a good next
chapter. My parents returned the gesture, and since then, two distant families have established an annual tradition.
Even as my parents and I relocated every few years throughout my growth, the arrival of a package from Japan was
one of the few lasting constants in our lives.
This summer, I traveled to Tokyo for some reporting. I told my dad, who was planting a persimmon（柿子）
tree in the backyard in California. If he was in town and available, my dad suggested, I could pay Mr. Kosuge a visit.
I walked out of Tokyo’s Haneda Airport and spotted Mr. Kosuge immediately. He held a handwritten sign with
my Chinese name. On the train ride into the city, Mr. Kosuge pulled out a small photo album. I opened it to see a
picture of my dad, with more hair and fewer wrinkles, holding me as a preschooler. On the next page I was in my
middle school graduation dress. Then came my first high school singing performance, and I left the nest for college.
Mr. Kosuge and I discovered that we share a love for persimmons, a fruit enjoyed in both Japan and China. After
leaving Tokyo, I traveled around the Kansai region, where persimmons flourish, to learn the art of making dried
persimmon.
Before saying goodbye to the Kosuges, I invited them to visit my family in California, where they can help
themselves to the persimmon tree anytime. Until then, I’ll be practicing the art of making dried persimmon with
persimmons harvested by my parents, and perhaps we’ll include some in our annual Christmas package to the
Kosuges. My Japanese uncle has been sharing with us a taste of Japan for more than two decades, and it’s about time
we did it.
24．What tradition did the two families develop?
A．Traveling together around the world. B．Planting persimmon trees in the backyard.
C．Sending a gift package to each other every year. D．Settling down in a different place every few years.
25．What did the author find from Mr. Kosuge’s photo album?
A．A handwritten sign with her Chinese name. B．The endless love of her parents.
C．Her constant pursuit of knowledge. D．The memorable moments throughout her, growth.
26．Why did the author plan to send some dried persimmon to Mr. Kosuge?
A．To pay back his favor. B．To indicate her dad’s good harvest.
C．To stress the. popularity of persimmons. D．To satisfy Mr. Kosuge’s love for persimmons.
27．What is the main idea of the text?
A．A gift coming from a remote country. B．A return favor for a lasting relationship.
C．A family friendship across continents. D．A visit to a friend in a distant country.
C
Companies have been switching from, plastic straws to paper ones on the grounds of being more environmentally
friendly. However, new research suggests the good - intentioned trend might not be the best alternative after all.
The study found the vast majority of paper straws tested contained PFAS. Commonly referred to as “forever
chemicals,” PFAS don’t break down in the body or in the environment.
“Straws made from plant-based materials, such as paper and bamboo, are often advertised as being more
sustainable and eco-friendly than those made from plastic,” said Thimo Groffen, author of the study. “However, the
presence of PFAS in these straws means that’s not necessarily true.”
Researchers on the study examined 39 brands of straws in Belgium from supermarkets, toy stores, fast-food
chains, drug stores and e-commerce stores. The straws were either made of paper, bamboo; glass, stainless steel or
plastic, and the researchers tested each brand for concentrations of PFAS. 69% of the brands contained PFAS, with
paper straws more likely to contain the chemicals. The researchers found 90% of paper straws had PFAS, compared to
80% of bamboo straws, 75% of plastic straws, and 40% of glass straws. Further, a paper straw brand was the brand
with the highest PFAS concentration.
Small amounts of PFAS do not pose a risk. However, a build-up of the chemicals in the body may cause
dangerous health problems like liver damage, increased blood
“The presence of PFAS in paper and bamboo straws shows they are not necessarily biodegradable（可生物降解
的）,” said Groffen. “We did not detect any PFAS in stainless steel straws, so I would advise consumers to use this
type of straw—or just avoid using straws at all.”
28．Why do companies show a preference for paper straws?
A．They are considered more economical.
B．They are considered less harmful to the environment.
C．They are considered more beneficial to health.
D．They are considered easier to produce.
29．What can we know about PFAS from the text?
A．They exist the least in plastic straws. B．They protect our health effectively.
C．They are basic materials for straws. D．They are a potential threat to human health.
30．What does Groffen probably agree with?
A．Paper straws will become more popular. B．We should use glass straws more often.
C．We’d better drink without using straws. D．Stainless steel straws should be avoided.
31．Which of the following serves as the best title?
A．Paper straws are more likely to contain forever chemicals
B．Paper straws have entirely taken the place of plastic straws
C．Paper straws have caused dangerous, health problems to humans
D．Paper straws will become the best alternative for us in the future
D
“From one day to the next, our profession was wiped out. We woke up and discovered our skills were
unnecessary.” This is what two successful graphic designers told me about the impact of AI. The old promise—
creative workers would be better protected than others from mechanization（机械化）—ruined overnight. If visual
artists can be replaced by machines, who is safe?
While there’s plenty of talk about how education might change, little has been done to equip students for a world
whose conditions shift so fast. It’s not just at work that young people will confront sudden changes of state. They are
also likely to witness more environmental breakdown and the collapse of certain human-made systems.
Why are we so unprepared? Why do we manage our lives so badly? Why are we so expert at material innovation,
but so unskilled at creating a society in which everyone can succeed? Why do obvious lies spread like wildfire? What
is lacking in our education that leaves such gap s in our lives?
The word education partly comes from Latin, meaning “to lead out”. Too often it leads us in: into old ways of
thinking, into dying professions. Too seldom does it lead us out of our cognitive and emotional circles, out of a
political and economic system that’s killing us.
I don’t claim to have definitive answers. But I believe the extreme demands, throughout our schooling, of tests
and exams reduce the range of our thinking. The exam system creates artificial borders. The intense combined
demands of the testing system leave almost no time to respond to opportunities and events, or for children to develop
their own interests.
Education should be joyful and delightful, not only because joy and delight are essential to our health and
happiness, but also because we are more likely to survive major changes. Schooling alone will not be enough to lead
us out of the many crises and disasters we now face. But it should at least lend us a torch.
32．Why does the author quote the two graphic designers?
A．To stress the issue of unemployment. B．To show the wide application of AI.
C．To indicate the creativity of artists. D．To set the tone for further discussion.
33．What does the underlined word “confront” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Object to. B．Bring about. C．Meet with. D．Call for.
34．What do the questions in Paragraph 3 chiefly reflect?
A．The numerous social problems to solve.
B．The complex features of current society.
C．The disadvantages of the current education system.
D．The success of everyone in material matters.
35．What is the author’s attitude towards the exam system?
A．Critical. B．Tolerant. C．Approving. D．Ambiguous.

Phone call anxiety is on the rise, with a quarter of 18-24 year olds avoiding picking up the phone. 36 The
avoidance of phone calls isn’t just a preference; it’s a reflection of anxiety. The immediacy and directness of a phone
call, without the ability to carefully respond as in text-based communication, can be discouraging.
37 Even traditional forms of speaking can set off a release of oxytocin, which helps reduce social anxiety
symptoms. However, in the absence of physical cues（提示） and the comfort of a known audience, phone calls can
worsen these anxieties, making the experience feel more intense.
In face-to-face interactions, we rely heavily on gestures, facial expressions, and body language to interpret
messages, which are absent in phone conversations. 38
The fear of making and receiving phone calls can have negative effects on both your personal and professional
lives. 39 Although answering the phone and making calls may seem like a simple task that everyone should be
able to do, suffering from phone call anxiety can be terrifying and real.
While it’s understandable why phone calls can feel awkward in today’s digital age, it’s essential to recognize the
value they hold in effective communication and relationship building. As we navigate this “phone anxiety pandemic”,
it is crucial to encourage and relearn the art of phone conversation, balancing the ease of texting with the depth and
authenticity of a real-time voice call. 40
A．This anxiety is not entirely new.
B．Who are reluctant to pick up phones?
C．Why are we making fewer phone calls?
D．It represents a sense of being separated.
E．Therefore, it is important to take phone anxiety seriously.
F．This can lead to misunderstandings and a feeling of disconnect.
G．This balance is key to establishing good relationships in in increasingly digital world.

The scene of firefighters in Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolia being frozen into “icemen” while braving the fierce
snowstorm to rescue people moved many to tears.
On March 12, Qi Yuehua, head of the Baerhu Road Station of the New Baerhu Zuoqi Fire and Rescue Brigade in
Hulunbuir, said in an interview that the team members worked continuously for nearly five hours two days ago,
saving 8 people trapped in 3 cars. The temperature at the time was around minus 30 degrees Celsius, so there was later
a scene of firefighters being frozen into “icemen”.
“At 12:46 on March 10, we received a call for help, saying that a vehicle was trapped in the snow 35 kilometers
away in the direction of National Highway 332. A driver was trapped in the car waiting for rescue” said Qi Yuehua.
“By noon, a fierce snowstorm had formed, and it was blowing strongly and the temperature was very low. Obviously,
it was dangerous to drive out, but everyone must immediately go to the scene.”
The two rescue vehicles with 12 firefighters set out at 12:50. The visibility was less than 5 meters that day, and
the snowy road was slippery, making driving very difficult. It was hard to tell which way it was to the rescue site, and
the rescue team could only move slowly based on previous driving experience. Consequently, it took more than an
hour that day to drive for a journey that usually takes only ten minutes.
At 14:18, the rescue team eventually arrived at the scene and found the location of the trapped driver. Due to the
heavy wind and snow, the door of the vehicle could not be completely closed. The driver hid in the car, trembling
violently with cold. The firefighters found that two other vehicles with seven people were also trapped there. They
were involved in a traffic accident due to slippery roads and poor visibility.
注意：
1．续写词数应为 150 左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Without any delay, the firefighters started their rescue effort. _________________________________________

第四部分 写作
第一节
One possible version:
To enrich our school life, our school held an exciting Fun Sports Day last Friday, engaging all students in a
variety of fun athletic events. The day was packed with laughter and friendly competition as participants took part in
unconventional games like three-legged races and sack jumping. Students showed remarkable teamwork and
sportsmanship and these events strengthened the bonding across different grades. The Fun Sports Day reached its
peak in a lively closing ceremony, when the winners were awarded trophies and certificates, leaving everyone looking
forward to a more exciting edition next year.
第二节
One possible version:
Without any delay, the firefighters started their rescue effort. “We first dug up the snow with shovels, and then
pushed the vehicles out of the snow with manpower,” Qi Yuehua recalled. “The thickest snow accumulation was
nearly one meter. The wind was particularly strong that day and the snow hitting our faces felt like needles.” At 17:12,
the trapped people and vehicles were successfully moved to a safe place, and a total of 8 people in 3 cars buried in the
snow were eventually rescued. Some of the firefighters had been frozen into “icemen” by then.
When asked if it was too hard and too risky to be firefighters, Qi smiled. “I am very happy and satisfied that we
completed the task and the rescued people were safe and sound,” he said. “Our firefighters are all young men who
have been training very hard. And we are always well prepared to ensure the safety of people’s lives and property.
Actually, we only thought about getting the trapped people out of danger as soon as possible that day. It was only after
the rescue was completed that I realized how cold and tired I was.”
