2、阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
"Dead to Rights," a film on the Nanjing Massacre, has stormed China's summer box office, (surpass) 1 billion yuan in just eight days since its July 25 debut. Directed by Shen Ao, the film became the first post-Spring Festival release to achieve this box office milestone and has maintained its daily box office (dominate) in China since its debut show, according to industry trackers' reports.
The film has topped daily box office charts in all provincial-level regions across mainland China for five consecutive (连续的) days through July 25. To date, it (draw) over 30 million admissions, demonstrating strong audience resonance.
"Dead to Rights" focuses a group of Chinese civilians take refuge in a photography studio during the Japanese aggressors' brutal occupation of Nanjing.
In a desperate attempt to stay alive, they (force) to assist a Japanese military photographer in developing film — only to discover that the negatives contain damaging evidence of atrocities (暴行) (commit) by Japanese forces across the city. They secretly keep the negatives and risk their lives (deliver) them to the outside world, hoping that the truth would be revealed.
"Dead to Rights" currently holds an 8.6 out of 10 rating on Douban, a key film review site. According to latest projections, "Dead to Rights" is now expected to gross over 4 billion yuan in total revenue, a further upward revision from (early) estimates. If achieved, this would make it China's second highest-grossing film of the year to date, trailing only the animated blockbuster "Ne Zha 2."

3、I had to wait. The clock showed ten minutes to1 time. A few customers were still testing perfumes and lipsticks,2 another ten minutes. I had a3 smile glued on my face as I stood behind the counter.
Sometimes I wondered if this was really what life was about — working from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., catching just a(an)4 of the sunset on my way home, then returning to endless chores. It felt like life was5 my fingers without enjoying the little things in life that would make me happy.

4、When it comes to new social favorites, a live-action role-playing game or script murder can be called a social utopia for young people today. It has built a multi-dimensional space for social interaction, reasoning and emotional resonance.
Students on campus form groups to play campus-themed scripts, recalling their youth stories in youth narratives; white-collar workers in cities choose hardcore reasoning scripts, releasing work pressure in logical mazes. Emotional scripts help strangers break the ice quickly, while horror scripts bring people closer together through screams. These ever-changing script types adapt to the social needs of different groups of people.
Script murder is also a sharp tool for breaking the ice in social interactions. Strangers sit around the table, and under the guidance of character cards, some become literati of the Republic of China, some become knights of the Jianghu, and communicate naturally as the plot progresses. As clue cards are passed around, the awkwardness of silence is broken, and laughter and discussions intertwine, making strangers quickly become familiar.
Today's script murder stores show diversified development. Some create ancient-style real scenes, allowing players to experience the grievances (恩怨) of the Jianghu immersively in pavilions and towers; some launch holographic projections (全息投影), allowing players to experience the sci-fi world through light and shadow changes. The professional guidance of the DM (主持人) still helps players immerse themselves in the plot better; high-quality scripts always lay a solid foundation for the experience.
Whether you are a logic lover who is keen on reasoning or an empath (共情者) who prefers emotions, every time you open a script, you step into a new social dimension full of surprises and fates.
A. From campus to urban areas, script murder has set off an immersive craze.
B. Even people with social anxiety can speak freely under the cover of their roles.
C. Future developments may require government regulation.
D. The charm of script murder lies in its ability to create new social possibilities.
E. But some cores remain unchanged.
F. However, what it has brought in just a few years is far more than entertainment experience.
G. Traditional offline games are losing their appeal gradually.

5、The impact of online shopping on brick-and-mortar businesses is far more complex than a simple "rise and fall" narrative. Recent analyses reveal that while e-commerce has reshaped consumer behavior, its challenges to physical economic loops are layered — and so are the solutions.
A critical challenge lies in the "asymmetrical (非对称的) cost structure." Online retailers avoid not only rent and in-store labor but also the costs of maintaining large inventories — goods in stock, as they often operate on a "just-in-time" model. This allows them to undercut physical stores by 18—45% on price, yet the gap isn't uniform: luxury goods, which rely on in-person experience, face less pressure than daily necessities. Small retailers, with limited capital to absorb price cuts, suffer most — studies show their closure rate is 3.2 times higher than that of large chains when competing with online giants.
Another subtle challenge is the erosion of "community anchor" roles. Physical stores, especially local ones, historically fostered social interactions and neighborhood identity. A 2025 survey in 20 large cities found that a 50% drop in local shop presence correlated with a 22% decrease in residents' sense of community belonging, creating indirect social costs rarely accounted for in pure economic analyses.
Counterstrategies, too, require nuance (细致入微). Successful transformation isn't just about "going online"; it's about integrating physical uniqueness with digital efficiency. For instance, some bookstores use in-store events to build customer loyalty, and then use membership data to recommend personalized online selections. Others take most advantage of their physical space as "experience hubs" — a café inside a clothing store, or a workshop area in a hardware shop — turning transactions into memorable interactions.
Notably, these strategies demand resources: staff training, data analytics tools, and flexible supply chains. This creates a "capability gap" — smaller stores often struggle to implement them without external support, such as government-funded digital literacy programs or cooperative purchasing networks. Thus, the future of the real economy depends not only on individual innovation but also on systemic support to bridge this gap.
(1)、Why do online retailers usually offer lower prices than physical stores, according to the passage?A、They sell only luxury goods with higher profit margins. B、They receive more financial support from the government. C、They avoid comprehensive operation costs. D、They sell items in high demand, allowing for lower prices.(2)、What can be inferred about luxury goods from the passage?A、They are more likely to be purchased online. B、Online retailers can offer luxury goods at much lower prices. C、Physical stores selling luxury goods have higher closure rates. D、Their sales are less affected by online shopping.(3)、What impact does the "capability gap" have on small physical stores?A、They cannot afford to move their businesses entirely online. B、They lack the resources to achieve transformation and development. C、They fail to recognize the importance of building customer loyalty. D、They are unwilling to change their traditional business models.(4)、What is the passage mainly about?A、Physical economy needs solutions. B、Online challenges overwhelm small retailers. C、Online shopping reduces daily sales. D、Physical stores avoid price competition. -
6、The boom in new energy vehicles (NEVs) has raised hopes for decarbonization — reducing carbon emissions, but the mounting waste of used and discarded batteries presents a hidden sustainable environmental crisis. Industry projections warn that by 2040, over 3 million tons of NEV batteries will reach the end of their life annually, far outpacing current recycling capacities.
The risks extend beyond simple waste accumulation. Batteries contain toxic heavy metals and electrolytes (电解质) that, if improperly disposed of, can dissolve into soil and water sources, contaminating farmland and drinking supplies for generations. Even in recycling, only 15% of global facilities use eco-friendly methods; most rely on crude processes that release harmful pollutants into the air, creating "secondary pollution" worse than the original waste.
A key obstacle is the mismatch between battery complexity and recycling technology. Modern NEV batteries use varied chemistries and designs, making standardized recycling nearly impossible. Advanced methods like hydrometallurgy, which minimize pollution, require expensive equipment and skilled labor, putting them out of reach for developing regions. Meanwhile, global regulations too distant to land true, allow unqualified operators to handle battery waste, even worsening the problem.
Addressing this requires global coordination: unified (统一的) design standards for batteries, stricter enforcement of recycling laws, and cross-border investment in green technologies. Without such steps, the NEV revolution's environmental gains could be overshadowed by a toxic legacy.
(1)、Why is "secondary pollution" mentioned in the passage?A、To highlight the effectiveness of current recycling methods. B、To prove that heavy metals in batteries are harmless if recycled. C、To argue that all battery waste should be buried underground. D、To show improper recycling harms more than batteries themselves.(2)、Why do varied battery designs and chemistries block recycling?A、They reduce the demand for new NEV batteries in global markets. B、They increase the amount of toxic electrolytes in each battery. C、They make it difficult to develop universal recycling techniques. D、They force governments to ban the import of used NEV batteries.(3)、What can be inferred about hydrometallurgy from the text?A、It is inaccessible to many regions due to its high requirements. B、It is a crude recycling method that causes severe air pollution. C、It is widely adopted in developing countries due to its low cost. D、It is ineffective in handling batteries with complex chemistries.(4)、Which statement best summarizes the passage?A、The rapid growth of NEVs has completely solved environmental problems. B、Used NEV batteries pose severe environmental risks that demand global solutions. C、Secondary pollution from battery recycling is unavoidable in developing countries. D、Advanced recycling technologies will soon address the battery waste problem. -
7、Zhang Yupeng, a 23-year-old from Hebei province, made history by winning China's first gold medal in jewelry-making at the 47th WorldSkills Competition in Lyon. His victory resulted from years of dedicated practice. "Mental strength is everything," Zhang emphasized, explaining how countless hours of training developed his muscle memory. During the intense four-day competition, he overcame challenges through steady focus, particularly when crafting a complex bird-shaped hairpin that nearly defeated him.
The competition exposed Zhang to global craftsmanship styles. He noticed Chinese participants emphasized artistic design, while Japanese and Korean competitors focused on precision. Initially intimidated, Zhang gained confidence through this international exchange. His success stems from vocational education at Beijing Arts & Crafts Technician College, where he spent five years refining his skills. He believes vocational training helps students discover unique talents beyond traditional academic paths.
Now a teacher, Zhang adopts personalized teaching methods. He identifies students' strengths in design or craftsmanship and tailors instruction accordingly. His "learning by doing" approach prepares students for diverse careers in jewelry design, appraisal, or even social media influencing. He stresses combining technical skills with creative thinking to produce valuable works.
Zhang represents a new wave of craftsmen blending tradition with innovation. As an apprentice in filigree inlay — a national intangible cultural heritage — he merges ancient techniques like metal threading with modern jewelry structures. While traditional designs often use gemstones for luxury, Zhang creates fresh interpretations by incorporating delicate filigree patterns into nature-inspired pieces.
Currently reflecting on his five-year journey, Zhang believes his true masterpiece is yet to come. "Innovation requires systematic reflection," he says, demonstrating how modern craftsmen honor tradition while pushing creative boundaries.
(1)、What was the key factor in Zhang's success in the competition?A、Years of practice. B、Mental strength. C、Muscle memory. D、Natural talent.(2)、What does the underlined word "intimidated" in paragraph 2 mean?A、Amazed. B、Confused. C、Familiar. D、Frightened.(3)、What can best describe Zhang?A、Persistent and disciplined. B、Knowledgeable and creative. C、Innovative and heritage-conscious. D、Open-minded and humble.(4)、Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A、A New Generation of Craftsmen B、A Platform for Young Talents C、The Key to Craftsmanship Success D、A Heritage Revived by Young Artists -
8、The lowest global sea ice cover for any February on record is a stark reminder of how our planet is warming, new data reveal. In February 2025, sea ice around the poles reached an "all-time minimum" when compared with previous Februarys (records began in 1979), according to a statement from the European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S).
It indicates sea ice loss has the potential to trigger a cascade of adverse environmental impacts, including the fueling of wildfires and other extreme weather events that destroy homes; rising sea levels that threaten the survival of coastal communities; and drying agricultural lands that undermine our ability to produce food. The melting also accelerates global warming even further as the newly exposed ocean beneath reflects less sunlight than bright ice does.
Copernicus scientists announced that January 2025 was the warmest January on record, even though Earth had entered La Niña, the cold phase of the El Niño climate pattern. And February 2025 was the third warmest February on record. So it wasn't a record-breaker in that respect, but it did continue a worrying warming trend. February 2025 was, on average, 2.86 degrees Fahrenheit (1.59 Celsius) warmer than preindustrial levels — the estimated average temperature.

Temperatures fluctuate (波动) from year to year, so climate change doesn't mean that every new month is guaranteed to break records. And not all parts of the planet get warmer at the same rate. This February, severe winter storms affected the U.S. with record-breaking cold, and Copernicus' data revealed that a good chunk of North America was cooler than average for February. However, temperatures were mostly above average around the rest of the world. Last year was the first complete year to breach 2.7 ℉ and ended up as the hottest year on record since preindustrial levels.
(1)、What will Copernicus scientists agree with about sea ice loss?A、It stabilizes agricultural production. B、It speeds up global warming. C、It increases ocean reflection than ice does. D、It undermines multiple environmental threats.(2)、What is the main purpose of the graph?A、To predict future weather patterns. B、To compare fluctuating temperatures over time. C、To show the increasing temperature over time. D、To explain the consequences of industrialization.(3)、What do the last two paragraphs emphasize?A、Not all parts of the planet get warmer. B、La Niña accelerates temperature increase. C、This February is a special month for climate change. D、Global temperature is still a concerning warming trend. -

10、阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Introduction to Teachers' Day
The idea of celebrating Teachers' Day took root in many countries during the 19th century; in most cases, they celebrate a local (educate) or an important milestone in education. This is the primary reason countries celebrate this day on different dates.
Many countries celebrate their Teachers' Day on 5 October in conjunction with World Teachers' Day, which (establish) by UNESCO in 1994. China: 10 September (Taiwan: 28 September)
In mainland, 10 September is an (office) holiday in China. The modern holiday was awarded a national status on January 21, 1985. The urgent need in this holiday in China was caused by the fact the "cultural revolution" in China cut the number of intellectuals — teachers, in particular. The main purpose was (increase) the prestige (声望,威信) of this profession.
There are some activities for students to show their (appreciate) to teachers, such as presenting gifts, (include) cards and flowers.
In Taiwan, Teachers' Day is recognized on September 28th, which is also the birth date of great Chinese philosopher and teacher, Confucius. Confucius is considered the embodiment of the Chinese moral, family, and education philosophy.
On his birthday, people in Taiwan pay respect the great educator to remind us to always maintain the traditional virtue of respecting our teachers.

11、I love needles. They have a variety of uses, from creating vivid designs out of wool to providing medical1. Each needle I own represents a different2 in my life.
When I was 6, I was given small pink knitting (针织) needles. "I am knitting. Do you want me to teach you?" My grandmother3 my hands in hers and showed me how to knit. While she was cooking, I would sit on her seat, knitting just like her. When I was first learning, I would frequently ask for4, and constantly be scared of ruining our5. After my grandmother left America, I missed the6 of sticks clicking against each other and the smell of her Peruvian cornbread. No matter the7, I know my grandmother and I will always be connected through the needles she8.

12、Here's the bad news: misunderstanding about masculinity (男子汉气概) is hurting males and making it hard for them to maintain friendships.. They listen to each other. They read each other's emotions. However, they tend to hide their true feelings in their late teenage because society expects them to be tough. .
Don't blame yourself. You are a product of a society that expects very particular things of masculinity. So stop blaming yourself. . If you accept your own desire for close relationship in your life, you will find the friendship.
Get involved at tough moments. Boys sometimes are worried whether they might appear too curious about their friends' private matters. . But if you get involved at such moments, you will open the door to all kinds of growth in your relationship. So take the opportunity to show them that they matter by following up.
. Researchers say that the No.1 thing that helps children (especially boys) grow up to have enriching friendships is to be close with adult relatives who are not afraid to express their emotions. So, if you have expressive grownup relatives, try to be close to them. They can serve as role models for you to show your true feelings in a better way.
A. Look at masculinity critically
B. So here is what they should do
C. Get close to expressive adults in your life
D. You need to face something really disturbing
E. Instead, focus on undoing hurtful and restricting belief systems
F. It is especially true when their friends are sharing something tough
G. The good news is that boys are born caring and loving, just as girls do

13、Can you tell fact from fiction online? In a digital world, few questions are more challenging than fighting misinformation. As an education researcher and former high school history teacher, I know that history class can stimulate critical thinking — but only if teachers and schools understand what it really means.
Some might consider critical thinking an ability that teachers can encourage. Or they might be referring to specific skills — for instance, that students should learn a set of steps to take to assess information online. Cognitive (认知的) scientists see critical thinking as a specific kind of reasoning that involves problem-solving and making sound judgments. It can be learned, but it relies on specific content knowledge.
Since context is key to critical thinking, learning to analyze information about current events likely requires knowledge about politics and history, as well as practice at tracing sources. Fortunately, that is what social studies classes are for.
Social studies researchers often describe this kind of critical thinking as "historical thinking": a way to evaluate evidence about the past and assess its reliability. In social studies classroom students can make relatively quick progress on some of the surface features of historical thinking, such as learning to check a text's date and author.
Social studies classrooms can also build what researchers call "civic online reasoning." Fact-checking is complex. It is not enough to tell young people that they should be careful online, or to trust sites that end in ".org" instead of ".com." Rather than learning general principles about online media, civic online reasoning teaches students specific skills for evaluating information about politics and social issues.
Therefore, the solution lies not in teaching critical thinking as a separate skill, but in preserving and strengthening traditional social studies education that combines background knowledge with analytical capabilities. Only then can we effectively prepare students to distinguish truth from fiction in our digital world.
(1)、How does the writer view critical thinking?A、It naturally develops over time. B、It is a kind of step-by-step learning. C、It is a form of content-based reasoning. D、It improves with teachers' encouragement.(2)、Why can social studies encourage critical thinking?A、They focus on past evidence. B、They question general principles. C、They develop fact-checking skills. D、They provide trustworthy websites.(3)、Which can be considered "civic online reasoning" according to the text?A、Trusting online news without tracing sources. B、Assessing public matters via fact-checking. C、Dismissing social media as unreliable. D、Employing AI to spread news stories.(4)、What solution does the author suggest?A、Applying traditional social skills. B、Highlighting historical knowledge. C、Emphasizing social studies learning. D、Teaching communication techniques. -
14、When Sonja Detrinidad opened her online shop selling houseplants, she didn't have high hopes for it. But the opposite happened: She was flooded, shipping out 1,200 orders in June of 2020 alone. In the past year, Detrinidad sent out more than 70,000 plants. Her success is just one example of increased time at home leading to an explosion in the houseplant industry.
"Plants are in fashion right now," says Dr. Melinda Knuth, a researcher from the University of Florida. "People who live in plant-rich environments report a higher life satisfaction rating, " she says. "Adding more nature to our environment can change our mood and how we think." Plants can improve our state of mind in a few ways but the biggest is by decreasing our level of cortisol, the stress hormone (激素) in our body.
"Students who are around plants perform better academically than students who are in a classroom without plants," says Knuth. "This productivity also translates into the workplace for adults. Our study showed that there was a 30% decrease in sick leave for people who were in plant-rich workplaces."
If you're among the groups of people who are enjoying the mental and physical health benefits of surrounding yourself with plants, don't beat yourself up if one (or a few!) doesn't make it. "Doctors practice medicine and lawyers practice law and you should allow yourself the practice it takes to sustain a plant. Tending to plants is an exercise in patience and learning. Be invested in taking care of it, but if it dies, go get another one," Detrinidad says.
(1)、How was Detrinidad's business when it started?A、It faced tough competition. B、It suffered a great loss. C、It got lots of financial support. D、It went surprisingly well.(2)、What is one of Knuth's findings about plants?A、They appeal more to students. B、They purify the environment. C、They raise the cortisol level. D、They enhance productivity.(3)、What does Detrinidad try to explain by mentioning doctors and lawyers?A、The necessity of social skills. B、The meaning of sustainability. C、The importance of repeated efforts. D、The value of professional opinions.(4)、What can be a suitable title for the text?A、Time to Replace Houseplants B、Plants Boost Your Mood C、Tips on Choosing Houseplants D、Plants Brighten Your Home -
15、In the quiet oil town of Drumright, Oklahoma — where the highway passes by empty shops and the population is just under 3,000 — Sarah Hagan is rewriting the rules of math education.
The 25-year-old teacher, who turned down opportunities in bigger cities, now spends her days in a once-worn-out classroom at Drumright High School, earning barely $30,000 a year. "When they offered me the job in April before graduation, I just said ‘yes'," recalls Hagan, whose passion outweighs the district's limited resources.
What began as a simple room with uneven floorboards and mismatched walls has become a lively math space under Hagan's care. Every surface bursts with colorful creations: posters and paper fill every corner and a handmade sign declares her the "Teacher of Awesome (Math)." This transformation mirrors her revolutionary approach to education — one that relies not only on textbooks but also on student-crafted learning journals filled with origami folds (折纸), hand-drawn diagrams, and lessons printed on rainbow-colored paper.
Hagan's classroom is full of unconventional energy: algebra becomes speed-dating as students pair up to name polynomials (多项式) and spaghetti strands (意大利面) demonstrate geometric principles. "She makes us forget we're learning," says Jake Williams. Even math haters like Taylor Russell find themselves engaged: "This year, I actually love it."
The young educator's "A, B, or Not Yet" grading system rules out failure as an option. Students reattempt assignments until they master the material, with Hagan routinely staying hours after school to provide support. During lunch breaks, students gather in her office for help with all subjects, not just math.
Fellow teacher Melinda Parker voices what many think: "We're so lucky to have her in Drumright." Though the workload sometimes wears her out, her commitment never declines. In rare free moments, she shares her innovative methods through her blog, appropriately titled Math equals Love — a philosophy that continues to transform lives in this unlikely corner of rural Oklahoma.
(1)、Why does the author mention the condition of Drumright?A、To describe the falling of an oil town. B、To highlight the value of Hagan's choice. C、To present the challenges of math education. D、To inspire more donations of teaching resources.(2)、What is the key principle behind Hagan's revolutionary teaching method?A、Involve me and I learn. B、Teach others to teach yourself. C、Learn and grow together. D、Seek truth from inner peace.(3)、How does Sarah Hagan teach polynomials?A、By using traditional textbooks. B、Through math speed-dating activities. C、By inventing the grading system. D、Through office dialogues after class.(4)、What is the best title of the text?A、The Teacher Believing Math equals Love B、Teacher of Awesome: A Director of Vision C、Talented Students Inspired D、DIY Math: The Rules rewriten -
16、The Future of Clean Energy in Homes
Heating, cooling, and powering homes contribute significantly to global CO2 emissions. As nations strive to reduce their carbon footprints, residential energy use — responsible for nearly 20% of energy-related emissions — poses unique challenges. Below is the 2022 breakdown of household emissions by source.
ELECTRICITY 52%
HEATING 28%
COOLING 12%
APPLIANCES 6%
LIGHTING 2%
Clean energy solutions for homes must be affordable, efficient, and adaptable to diverse climates. While technologies vary, here are key innovations driving the shift toward sustainability.
HEAT PUMPS — Efficient Heating/Cooling
Replacing gas boilers, electric heat pumps transfer warmth from air or ground, cutting heating emissions by 50%. Hybrid models, hopefully, might be able to work in sub-zero temperatures in the near future.
SMART GRIDS (电网) — Dynamic Electricity Management
AI-powered grids optimize energy use, storing surplus solar power during peak hours and reducing reliance on fossil-fuel backups.
SOLAR PANELS — Rooftop Revolution
Solar energy is the most accessible renewable source for households. Advances in photovoltaic cells have cut costs by 80% since 2010, making them viable in numerous regions.
WIND TURBINES — Community Microgrids
Small-scale turbines (涡轮机) in windy areas can power neighborhoods, though land use debates persist. "The scale of this transition is staggering," says Dr. Elena Torres, a climate scientist at MIT. Residential renewables like solar and heat pumps could meet 90% of global household demand by 2050 — but only if investments triple within this decade. Recent studies show that every $1 invested in green homes today saves $5 in future climate adaptation costs. This isn't just an environmental imperative; it's economically inevitable.
(1)、Which two categories combined account for over three-quarters of total household emissions?A、Electricity and Heating. B、Heating and Cooling. C、Appliances and Lighting. D、Cooling and Appliances.(2)、Which technology is highlighted as cost-effective for diverse climates?A、Heat pumps. B、Smart grids. C、Solar panels. D、Wind turbines.(3)、What does Dr. Torres emphasize about the energy transition?A、The dominance of gas boilers. B、The increase in solar efficiency. C、The need for higher investment. D、The breakthrough in heat pump technology. -
17、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。
It's my graduation day! The ceremony was to be held in a large auditorium downtown on a damp December afternoon. As I prepared for this important day, choosing a simple black dress and even putting on makeup — both unusual for me — my mind was occupied with anxiety rather than excitement.
Due to my neurological condition (神经系统疾病) that affected my mobility and coordination (协调性), the upcoming ceremony filled me with fear. I had learned that I would need to negotiate a flight of stairs during the proceedings. The mere thought of walking across the stage was terrifying enough, but the additional challenge of stairs seemed impossible. To make matters worse, I would have to shake hands with my professors and receive my diploma with my right hand, which has limited control due to my condition These seemingly small details felt like impossible obstacles
Consumed by fear, I called Sally in tears, telling her I couldn't go through with it. She had been my notetaker throughout university because of my condition, but she was far more than that. We had been through many rough spots during the past two years. We took all our classes together, studied together, and edited each other's work.
Sally listened patiently as I poured out my anxieties. Then, she responded with determined support. "You are walking, damn it!" she declared firmly. She promised to handle everything and made me promise to show up at the auditorium. Though still fearful, I splashed cold water on my tear-stained face, touched up my makeup, and whispered to myself, "I'm doing this."
When I arrived at the auditorium, the reality of those frightening stairs hit me again. Just as panic began to seize me. Sally found me immediately. She hugged me tightly and assured me, "I have it all worked out. It's going to be fine." To my surprise, I noticed many of my classmates gathered nearby, their faces filled with warm smiles and encouraging nods. At this, I felt a surge of strength flowing through me, though I still couldn't imagine how I would manage the challenges ahead.

19、阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Beijing recently made technological history by hosting the world's first half-marathon for humanoid robots, marking a significant milestone in robotics development. Twenty teams from top universities and tech firms participated, with six robots (complete) the 21-kilometer race. The winner, Tiangong Ultra, finished it in just 2 hours and 40 minutes.
This groundbreaking (compete) represented a crucial transition from controlled laboratory testing to real-world application. Unlike artificial lab environments, the marathon's unpredictable outdoor conditions tested the robots' adaptability and endurance capabilities. Beyond sports, such robots are already in use — for example, the specialized inspection robots (develop) by China Southern Power Grid, can operate (reliable) in temperature extremes ranging from 40℃ to 80℃ while maintaining power lines in remote (mountain) regions.
Since the beginning of this year, Chinese tech giants like Xiaomi and Huawei, well aware of the opportunities, (join) forces with automotive leaders including Tesla and Toyota in has become an international race to advance this technology. However, experts caution that rapid progress, significant technical hurdles remain. Most robots currently operate at Level 2 autonomy but achieving Level 4 — full independence — needs breakthroughs in AI decision-making.
For students considering future careers in technology, humanoid robotics represents one of the most exciting and promising fields may transform industries and daily life. successful Beijing marathon serves as both a testament to how far we have come and s preview of the remarkable innovations still to come.

20、My friend Karen and her husband David were acquainted with an elderly lady, Rose, who fell ill with no one to help her. Though not1, they offered to act like family. For years, they took turns2 Rose in her home, then moving her into an assisted-living facility and eventually into a nursing home due to her3 health.
However, Rose was difficult to get along with. She would take them out for dinner but then4 what they could order, and complained about everything they did. This led to their confusion, leaving them feeling increasingly5. One day, Karen shared with me the growing weight of6 she felt from caring for Rose. When I asked if she had any volunteer7, she responded that she had no time. I then suggested that she8 looking after Rose as volunteer work. Instantly, it was like a light bulb went on. Karen's9 shifted. She told David the same that night, and the idea changed everything. From then on, they still did the same work, but as "volunteers," it felt10 — no longer a duty, but a choice. For the rest of Rose's life, they still11 helped, finding joy in the role.
We often talk about volunteering, which makes us feel good. But there's also a way to12 a burdensome commitment as "volunteering". By doing so, a task we feel forced to do can become a voluntary act.
Let's take Karen and David as an example. Their13 to helping Rose at first seemed like an unwanted14. But after the shift, a chore turned into a15 experience.
