Like every gym class I have ever taken, I felt like the dd ne ut. Opening the dr and glancing arund the rm, I seemed t be the nly girl struggling. Everyne else, in their fitted tank tps and leggings, nt a hair ut f place, lked as if they belnged. I n the ther hand, with my curly hair nw wildly unleashed, versized shirt, wndered why I had ever bthered t subject myself t a gym class.
Earlier that year, with a healthy dse f encuragement frm my family, I decided t give fitness a real sht. I shwed up t my university gym fr spin class with my stmach in a bundle f nerves. The first time I tried t stand n the bike pedals, I felt my legs shake and immediately sat dwn. All the muscles I hadn’t used befre creaked as they suddenly engaged in rapid mvement. It wasn’t until the third class, when I smthly transitined t standing up n the bike, that I started t gain sme cnfidence.
Eventually, as my cmfrt n the bike grew, I became less fcused n hw I lked and the exact mvements my legs and arms were t engage in and mre fcused n lking inward. I had never cnsidered myself athletic. But nw, rather than agnize (感到痛苦) ver my weight, I started t reflect in amazement at my bdy’s ability t lift grceries, mve apartments and all the ther cuntless tasks it did t keep my life mving frward.
Smewhere between being yelled at t squat lwer, jump higher and push harder, gym class made me realize that while I was wrng abut many things when it came t fitness, I was right abut ne imprtant thing: What truly matters is shwing up, nt what yu wear r yur fitness abilities. Because nce yu shw up, the rest gets easier, ne sweaty adventure at a time.
Hw did the authr feel when she first entered the gym class?
Excited. B. Awkward. C.Cnfident. D. Bthered.
What des paragraph 2 mainly talk abut?

The authr’s passin fr spin classes.

She cares mre abut her weight.
She is critical f her bdy’s ability.
She is prud f her bdy’s capability.
What imprtant lessn did the authr learn frm the gym class?
Pushing harder is gd fr yu.
What yu wear t the class matters the mst.
Shwing up plays a determining rle in fitness.
Fitness abilities are mre imprtant than shwing up.

After nearly a year f frantic (狂热的) lbbying and debate, the EPA has finalized strict new rules n vehicle emissins that will push the aut industry t accelerate its transitin t electric vehicles (EV). The EPA expects that under the new rules, EVs culd accunt fr up t 56% f new passenger vehicles sld fr mdel years 2030 thrugh 2032, meeting a gal that President Biden set in 2021.
The regulatins are a crnerstne f the Biden Administratin’s effrts t fight climate change. Cmbined with investments the U.S. is making in battery and electric vehicle manufacturing, the aut regulatins will help shift the U.S. away frm relying n fssil fuels fr transprtatin, a senir administratin fficial said during a call with reprters. “Three years ag, I set an ambitius target that half f all new cars and trucks sld in 2030 wuld be zer-emissin,” Biden said in a statement, adding that the cuntry will meet that gal and “race frward in the years ahead”.
Biden added that U.S. wrkers “will lead the wrld n auts - making clean cars and trucks, each stamped ‘Made in America’.” The new rules require aut manufacturers t slash emissins f greenhuse gasses like carbn dixide that are heating the planet, as well as air pllutants that cntribute t st and smg. The administratin says the new standards will avid mre than seven billin tns f carbn dixide emissins and deliver almst $100 billin in annual benefits, including $13 billin in health benefits as a result f less pllutin.
“That’s ging t have immediate benefits in imprving air quality, but als imprving peple’s health,” Cara Ck, directr f prgrams at the Alliance f Nurses fr Healthy Envirnments, tld reprters ahead f the EPA’s annuncement. “S they’re nt breathing in dirty air, especially fr thse wh are living near majr radways and highways, heavy traffic [areas]. Thse are the nes that are ging t really experience a significant amunt f benefits frm these rules.”
What des the new rules aim t d?
T relieve heavy traffic.
T cnserve the traffic regulatins.
T hinder the transitin t electric vehicles.
T achieve envirnmental friendly transprtatin.
29. What des the underlined wrd mean in paragraph 3?
A. Lift. B. Shrink.C. Enhance.D.Accumulate.
30. What’s Cara Ck’s attitude twards the new plicy?
A. Neutral. B. Oppsed.C. Objective.D. Favrable.
31. What is the best title f the passage?
Fighting climate change.
Achieving zer-emissin.
New rules n green vehicle benefit.
The acceleratin f the aut revlutin.

Since villagers widely regarded it as ne that made their wishes cme true, they used t kneel dwn in frnt f the “lucky” tree and burn fferings under it.

As ne f the mst influential technlgy public welfare platfrms in China, it aims t encurage mre peple t slve scial prblems using scientific and technlgical knwledge and pen up mre than 300 AI functins f Tencent Clud t participants. Mre than 3,600 teams and 18,000 develpers have participated in this influential tech charity platfrm since its establishment in 2020.
“Digital technlgies, represented by AI, large mdels, and virtual reality, will deeply impact charity thrugh platfrms like the camp. Such effrts will create greater value fr scial develpment and human prgress,” said Gu Kaitian, senir vice-president f Tencent.

T intrduce the “lucky” tree in his village.
T stress the urgency f prtecting the tree.
T criticize villagers fr their wrng wishes.
T explain the reasn why the tree was dying.

第二节（满分 25 分）
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。
One f my teachers nce asked my class what ur favrite memry was. Sme described grand awards; thers described winning a turnament. My answer, hwever, invited giggles and hesitant smiles. Why? Because I felt the best when I first learned hw t ride my bike—at thirteen. I didn’t mind my classmates’ stares and laughter, because I knew there was mre t the stry.
My sister and I shared a typical sisterly relatinship: we culdn’t stand each ther. Or, t be hnest, she culdn’t stand me. I her-wrshipped her. Her taste was the type f charm, her persnality the definitin f cl. My clthes mysteriusly lked like hers, and even my wrds tended t cpy thse I heard frm hme. Many times, I even wanted t literally fllw my sister, sbbing every time I was banned frm attending mvies with her. Needless t say, I was a truble and an annyance t her. Any srt f cnversatin we had usually ended up fighting, and try as I might, my sister had an extra six years wrth f insulting vcabulary (which meant she usually wn). After a while, I stpped trying t impress her and learned t be ttally indifferent; perhaps the silent treatment wuld get mre apprval. I was wrng. We sn fell int a sad pattern—I avided her, she ignred me, and deep inside, it hurt. S that’s hw it was between us. Indifferent r unfriendly, she was nly a sister in name. I truly believed that we wuld frever be apart, tw husemates withut cnversatin, tw strangers withut warmth. And nthing mre.
I still remember the day I learned t ride a bike. I had received the bike that Christmas, which was great, until I realized I had n idea hw t ride it. My mm had lng since abandned any attempt t teach me; I had prved t be a panicky, frustrating student. I tk it upn myself t learn, a little bit each day, but t n avail; I culdn’t ride my bike, and n that fateful day, it was n different. I was cming t the end f my daily ne-hur suffering, and I was s frustrated that I threw my bike aside and began t cry.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右：
I guess that was what caused my sister t cme utside.
That was the day, hwever, I had a taste f what real sisterly clseness culd be like.
