() Marc Blackett’s childhood was a constant battle against himself. Struggling with bulimia (贪食症), his body moved between being very thin and overweight, showing the emotional pain he was going through. At school, he was often hurt physically by his peers, and his loneliness grew with each passing day. Anger, fear, and embarrassment were always with him, yet no one ever asked about his emotions. His parents, though loving, had no idea how to address the emotional storm brewing (酝酿) inside him. His emotional struggles made concentrating on his schoolwork impossible, and his grades suffered. The turning point came unexpectedly. One summer, Marc visited his uncle Marvin, a teacher with a unique attitude towards life. “Marc, ” he said, “how are you feeling?” Marc had never been asked that simple question before. It wasn’t just the question itself—it was the way his uncle asked it, with genuine concern and no judgment. For the first time in his life, someone truly cared about what was going on inside him, and it gave him the courage to speak. The floodgates of emotion opened, and he poured out his years of pain, anger, and frustration. Uncle Marvin didn’t try to fix anything—he just listened, seeing Marc’s behavior and understanding the pain he had never acknowledged. He gave Marc permission to feel, and that moment transformed (改变) everything. That conversation sparked Marc’s journey toward self-understanding. He went on to study psychology and eventually founded the Emotional Intelligence Research Center at Yale University. Marc also became a well-known speaker and author, publishing books on emotional intelligence and social-emotional learning. His work helped transform educational systems and workplaces, promoting the importance of emotional awareness, understanding, and toughness. Driven by his own experience, Marc became a passionate supporter for emotional intelligence education, determined to help others manage their emotions before they became difficult to control. As Marc Blackett himself once said, “The ability to recognize, understand, and manage your emotions is the first step to understand yourself and build stronger, healthier relationships.”4.

() Chinese films and TV series have increasingly embraced family narratives (叙事), presenting audiences with a variety of “family culture” stories that resonate with viewers. Understood and felt by people around the world, those stories related to family help reach international audiences. From high-grossing blockbusters like the Ne Zha series and Hi, Mom to heartfelt dramas such as Romance in the Alley and Six Sisters, the rise of family-focused stories reflects a tendency to reconnect traditional values with addressing universal questions like love, responsibility and identity. Family values hold significant importance in Chinese culture across all ages. The importance of family civility (礼仪) and virtues and efforts to make Chinese families an important foundation for the country’s development, national progress and social harmony are often stressed. In brilliant film and TV works with a good reputation, content creators also see family narratives as a way to explore human relationships while reflecting on social changes and offer audiences a wide range of angles on what it means to belong to a family. Take the Ne Zha series for instance. It has achieved unprecedented box-office success. While much of its attraction lies in its impressive visuals, one of the emotional cores of the films focuses on family. Be it Ne Zha or Ao Bing, their opposition against social prejudice and unreasonable authoritarian (专制的) rule is rooted in the unconditional love and support of their parents. The stories touch all age groups by offering the image of an ideal family: one where love, trust and support empower individuals to overcome difficulties. This ability to combine amazing entertainment with meaningful family narratives has made the Ne Zha series a model for successful family storytelling in cinemas. Eventually, the rise of family narratives in Chinese film and television represents a powerful cultural and artistic movement. These stories celebrate the ever-lasting importance of family while addressing the challenges and complexities of modern life. By balancing tradition with innovation, Chinese creators are breathing new life into “family culture”, offering audiences stories that are both deeply personal and universally meaningful.8.

() Countless types of plastics litter the world’s beaches. It is estimated (估计) that volunteers from 97 countries and regions identified and removed (移除) around 4, 000 tons of plastic trash from beaches worldwide in 2023. For the most part, spotting the trash still depends on the naked eye and a great deal of walking. Satellite imagery has, for years, been used to help scientists identify plastics floating in the ocean, but it's far less effective at spotting plastics on beaches. Coastal plastics often blend in with or are partially buried by sand and have serious negative effects on local wildlife. Those harmful effects aren't limited to life on beaches. If plastics aren't removed, they can often end up going into the ocean where they will slowly break down into smaller pieces, which are then eaten by sea life and work their way up the food chain. Some researchers believe this cycle may even lead to increased cases of microplastics found in humans, whose effects aren't fully known. Therefore, a research team in RMIT University in Australia developed a new tool that highlights spectral (光谱的) features in plastics. Plastics have unique shortwaves and they can't be shown in images of beaches captured by a satellite in a normal way. However, the new tool, which works like a filter (滤镜) that can be applied to the images, recognizes the reflected shortwaves from plastics and enables researchers to exactly identify plastic items on beaches and tell them from sand, water, and plants. To test their new tool, the researchers went to a recycling facility and collected various types of plastic trash that would likely be found on a beach. Once the plastics were in place, the satellite flew far overhead and shot a series of photos. Researchers applied their tool to the images and the plastics were identified clearly. “This is incredibly exciting. We’re trying to team up with organizations on the next step of this research, ” said study co-author Mariel Soto-Berelov. “This is a chance to help us protect delicate beaches from plastic waste.”12. How is the most part of the volunteering work? A． Flexible.B． Aimless.C． Technical.D． Demanding.13. What is the purpose of Paragraph 2? A． To stress the danger of coastal plastics.B． To explain the breakdown of plastic trash.C． To show the cutting edge of satellite imagery.D． To summarize the research by RMIT University.14. What’s the advantage of the filter-like tool? A． Cleaner energy.B． Computerized data.C． Sharper recognition.D． Real-time monitoring.15. What’s the best title for the article? A． Coastal Wildlife Lives in PlasticsB． A New Tool Locates Plastics on BeachesC． Researchers Re-emphasize Ocean CleanupD． Volunteering Work Helps Coastal Conservation () People are more willing than ever to embrace a cleaner lifestyle, but some aren’t sure where to begin. 16 . Here are some of the simple things that can be done by almost anyone. 17 Do you know that clothes can take over 200 years to decompose (分解)? If your T-shirt gets coffee stains, instead of throwing it away, give it a second life as a useful kitchen rag. Besides, empty containers can become flower pots, and broken flower pots can be used as creative decorations in your garden. The list just goes on depending on your creativity. Go dark There are a number of small steps that you can take to use less electricity in your everyday life. Turn off the lights when you leave a room. Unplug electronic items when they aren't in use. Remember that electricity is a luxury (奢侈). 18 Stop using single-use plastics Plastic waste is in almost all natural environments, especially in oceans. The biggest problem is single-use plastics like shopping bags, straws (吸管) and packaging. 19 . Therefore, you must stop using single-use plastics. They not only affect wildlife but can take hundreds to thousands of years to break down. Save water 20 . Water needs to be transported, filtered, and purified (净化) before it reaches your tap. The energy people use to process it often comes from fossil fuels. Reducing the use of water by switching off the tap while brushing your teeth and collecting the rainwater for the garden means that companies use fewer harmful fuels, which helps clean up the environment.A． Make repairs and create new thingsB． We should save tap water from being pollutedC． Replace old things with new ones based on imaginationD． These actions will lower the energy use and save moneyE． Animals often mistake them for food, which causes deathF． In fact, there are plenty of things you can do to live a greener lifeG． Every drop of tap water you use consumes energy and is actually a polluter 二、完形填空() In my childhood, I feared one event: the piano recital (独奏会), meaning I had to perform boring music before strangers.

As a girl of shy and reserved nature, I had to take a fresh start to fit into the sophisticated city life. One sunny day, my school announced an exciting event, a talent show for the local food bank. Students were encouraged to showcase their unique talents in front of the public in the city hall on National Day. A buzz of excitement fed the school as everyone began preparing for the big day. Deep down, I felt a spark of curiosity and a desire to participate. However, my self-doubt held me back, “I don’t have any special skills to share.” Days turned into weeks, and the talent show drew closer. I couldn’t shake the upsetting feeling until one day, Emma, one of the most popular girls in my class, came to me while I was helping in the grocery store after class. “How about singing together in the talent show?” She grinned, “I heard you singing a tune, along the way back home. I can’t help following you here.” Gosh, I couldn’t believe my ears. Emma, with personality and popularity, acknowledged my little talent. Since Emma had the world’s prettiest voice, I felt like being favoured by fortune. “You two? The talent show for the food bank?” My mum bent towards us and her face lit up. “A big occasion.” Then a light bulb seemed to go in her head. “Why not practise right now upstairs? I bet you’ll be a perfect match.” Winking at us, she seemed to know we were thinking alike. Emma and I embarked on rehearsing almost every single day after school. We brainstormed, exchanged ideas and rehearsed the scene. As the days rolled by, I was feeling pretty good about our act. But the day before the performance, Emma called that she had an acute stomachache and was not in any shape to perform.注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: I was completely knocked out by the news.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Finally came the big moment.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
