A year ago, my wife and I sold one of our cars and replaced it with an e-bike. I knew that passenger vehicles are
responsible for much of our greenhouse-gas emissions. I also knew that electric cars were an imperfect fix. Though they’re responsible for less carbon pollution than gas cars, their supply chain is carbon intensive. But an e-bike’s comparatively tiny battery means less electricity, fewer emissions and fewer resources. E-bikes are clearly better for the planet than cars of any kind.
But I also viewed getting rid of my car as a sacrifice. I live in Colorado; e-biking would mean freezing in winter and sweating in summer. It was the right thing to do, I thought, but it was not going to be fun.
I was very wrong. The first thing I noticed was the savings. Between car payments, insurance, maintenance (保养), and gas, a car-centered lifestyle is expensive. I predict that we’ll save about $50,000 over the next five years by selling our car.
The actual experience of riding to work each day over the past year has been equally surprising. In winter, I wear gloves, warm socks, a thick cap, and a ski jacket when I ride, and I am almost never too cold. In summer, I didn’t break a sweat. I just used the throttle (油门), sat back, and enjoyed my ride.
I arrived to work a little more lighthearted for having spent the morning in fresh air rather than traffic. I jumped on my bike after a stressful day at work and rode home down a street edged with changing fall leaves. I felt more connected to the physical environment around me than I had when I’d traveled the same route surrounded by metal and glass.
24. Why did the author change a car for an e-bike?
A. He wanted to do something good for environment.
B. He thought that e-bikes would replace gas vehicles.
C. He couldn’t afford the expensive transportation costs.
D. He believed e-bike’s supply chain was environment-friendly.
25. What did the author think he would sacrifice for the e-biking?
A. The traffic safety.
B. The traffic comfort.
C. The traffic economy.
D. The traffic convenience.
26. What is the author’s feeling about having ridden an e-bike for a year?
A. Tolerant.
B. Unexpected.
C. Conservative.
D. Compromising.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. Changes Brought by an E-bike
B. My Green Life for the Last Year
C. The Replacement for Gas Vehicles
D. Comparation Between Cars and E-bikes
C
Halloween candy could be in for a California big change. State lawmakers last month passed the California Food Safety Act, which bans four materials found in popular snacks and packaged foods - including candy corm and other Halloween treats. Set to take effect in 2027, the ban will lead candy and food producers to change their formulas for products sold both in California and elsewhere around the country.
The law bans the production and sale of some materials, which are used in processed foods including kinds of instant potatoes and sodas, as well as candies. The additives (添加剂) have been linked to increased risks of cancer and nervous system problems, according to the Environmental Working Group, which started the act, and are already banned in many other countries.
Food producers and their lobbyists (说客) opposed the law, arguing the conclusion that the four additives are unhealthy should be made by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). They thought that evaluating the safety of food materials and additives should rely on the scientific accuracy of the FDA. But food safety advocates say the FDA has moved far too slowly in regulating food chemicals. It’s unacceptable that the U.S. is so far behind the rest of the world when it comes to food safety.
California’s act made headlines this year as a “Skittles (彩虹糖) ban” that would wipe popular candies off California shelves. But supporters of the act said the intention is simply to require changes in the materials, as has already happened in Europe. Perhaps the most standing-out material on California’s banned list is red dye No. 3. It is allowed only in candied and cocktail cherries in the European Union but more than 3,000 products contain the chemical in the U. S. The list includes items like frosted pretzels and scores of brand-name candies such as Peeps and Pez. It also includes items like fruit cocktail cups, protein drinks, and yogurts.
28. How will Halloween candy in California change?
A. It will change its recipes.
B. It will transform its shapes.
C. It will move out of California.
D. It will disappear completely.
29. What idea do food producers have against the act?
A. FDA’s conclusion on the materials is wrong.
B. Four materials are allowed all over the world.
C. The materials’ safety needs to be reassessed.
D. FDA moves too fast in regulating food chemicals.
30. What can we infer about the act supporters’ request about Skittles?
A. They demand a complete ban on Skittles.
B. They wish the “Skittles ban” to be headlines.
C. They want to apply European policies to Skittles.
D. They hope more red dye No. 3 is used in Skittles.
31. What is the text mainly about?
A. California candy ban.
B. Food safety in California.
C. The responsibility of FDA.
D. Change of Halloween Candy.

“When we watch TV shows or football games, we’re watching that information evolve over time, uncertain about how it’s all going to end,” said Abby Hsiung, Ph.D., a postdoctoral researcher at the Duke Institute for Brain Sciences.” I wondered if higher curiosity would push people to seek, or to avoid, getting an immediate ‘spoiler (剧透)’.”
Hsiung drew inspiration from short cooking videos that are popular on Instagram and TikTok, “These videos manage to develop a description and cliffhanger, so that you’re interested and curious about how food materials will all come together.” So Hsiung made a series of 30-second cartoon line-drawing videos that, like the cooking videos, eventually ended up as something highly recognizable, like a dog.
More than 2,000 adults from across the U.S. then watched 25 of these short line-drawing videos online. Participants in Hsiung’s study were asked along the way how curious they were, how they felt, and to guess what the drawing would become. Viewers also had a “spoiler” button to skip ahead to see the final drawing. Hsiung and her team were surprised to find that when people were curious, they avoided hitting the “spoiler” button and kept watching the drawings unfold. It was when people were less curious that they tended to opt for an instant answer. Curiosity didn’t just motivate getting answers, but increased the value of the journey itself.
The study also found that curiosity increased at different stages of watching these videos. Higher curiosity during moments where it seemed like the drawing could tun into anything and also when participants were starting to really home in on a single answer. Curiosity also inspired people’s feeling of joy, explaining why people kept watching the line-drawing video even when they could just hit a button to get the answer right away. This helps explain why people often avoid spoilers. Knowing the end of a new TV series, for example, can remove the enjoyment of watching the plot develop.
Researchers suggest that inspiring curiosity might also help raise motivation in the classroom to potentially improve learning. Increasing curiosity can improve memory by readying the brain for new information and strengthen persistence throughout a learning journey, which is often needed for deep understanding.
32. What is the purpose of Hsiung’s study?
A. To find the relation between curiosity and answer.
B. To find better ways to get information in TV shows.
C. To find the effects cooking videos have on audience.
D. To make a series of 30-second line-drawing videos.
33. What does the underlined word “cliffhanger” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Creation.
B. Uncertainty.
C. Imagination.
D. Appreciation.
34. What can we learn from the text?
A. Viewers would hit the “spoiler” button when they were curious.
B. Curiosity did nothing but drive viewers to find out answers.
C. As the drawing was taking shape, people gradually lost interest.
D. People refused to know answers in advance to enjoy the process.
35. How is curiosity beneficial to learning?
A. It can shorten learning time.
B. It reduces learning difficulty.
C. It is good for deep learning.
D. It changes learning approaches.

The Powerful Guide to Finding Your Passion
Following your passion can be a tough thing. But figuring out what that passion is can be even more difficult. Here are some tips to find your passion.
36 Unless you’re just starting out in life, you have some skills or talent, showing some kind of aptitude. Give this some thought. Think back, as far as you can, to jobs, projects or hobbies. This could be your passion. Or you may have several things. Start a list of potential candidates.
37 It may be something at work-a little part of your job that gets you excited. It could be something you do outside of work-a hobby, a side job, something you do as a volunteer or a parent or a spouse or a friend. It could be something you haven’t done in a while. Add any answers to your list.
Think about what you have secretly dreamed of. 38 But some fear, some self-doubt, has held you back, has led you to dismiss this idea. Maybe there are several. Add them to the list—no matter how unrealistic.
Learn, ask, take notes. OK, you have a list. 39 This is your first candidate. Now read up on it, talk to
people who’ve been successful in the field. Make a list of notes of things you need to learn, need to improve on, skills you want to master and people to talk to.
Experiment and try. Here’s where the learning really takes place. If you haven’t been already, start to do the thing you’ve chosen. Pay attention to how you feel doing it-is it something you look forward to, that gets you excited, that you love to share? 40
A. Find what excites you.
B. Confirm what you are good at.
C. Predict what’s the worst that can happen.
D. Pick one thing from the list that excites you most.
E. If all the answers are “yes”, you’ve found where your passion is.
F. You need to do something, get good at it, be passionate about it.
G. You might have some ridiculous dream job you’ve always wanted to do.

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。

Mrs. Johnson lost her husband to cancer after months of failed treatment. She spent every penny she had saved working as a teacher, hoping her husband’s illness wouldn’t return. She only had $5 left in her bank account and didn’t know how to survive. She was just living on leftovers and junk. What’s worse, she hadn’t paid the house rent.
Standing before the ATM, Mrs. Johnson put in her card and entered her password. In no time, she saw a five-dollar bill slide out of the machine. The old lady was so focused on the dollar bill that she barely looked at the screen.
Holding a bag full of about-outdated food items, the old lady slowly walked towards her house. Upon reaching her apartment door, she saw an envelope with her name on it in the mailbox.
Once she entered the house and kept the grocery bag on the kitchen counter, she slid the envelope out and opened it. It was an invitation for reunion from the school where she had taught all her life, but she didn’t feel like going there.
After having dinner, the old lady picked up her phone, hoping to find a job. A message caught her attention, which was a notice from her bank regarding her cash withdrawal. She read the message and was about to exit it when the remaining account balance caught her attention. A hundred thousand dollars! ! !
The next day, Mrs. Johnson visited the bank, thinking this was a big mistake. After checking, the bank told her the records showed that Norma Tyler transferred the money to her account. There was no mistake.
However, Mrs. Johnson didn’t know any Norma Tyler! After thinking about all her friends, relatives and acquaintances, Mrs. Johnson could only think of one Norma— one of the students who never performed well in class. Mrs. Johnson thought of how hard she worked with Norma. She wanted the girl to get good grades, but nothing worked. No matter how hard she tried to teach new concepts to the teenage girl, she would never understand a single word.
注意:
1. 续写词数为150 个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

It hit Mrs. Johnson that she could attend the high school reunion to meet Norma.
Norma said she wanted to thank a special teacher who never gave up on her.
