Roland Reisley turned 101 years old in May and is in remarkable health. But that's not the thing he prides himself on. “I am the last original client of Frank Lloyd Wright, still living in the home he designed for me,”Reisley said, sitting in the bright open living room of the home designed by the famous architect.
The house where Reisley has lived for 73 years is located in the woods of Westchester County, New York, just 30 miles north of Manhattan. It’s one of 47 that make up the peaceful mid-20th-century modern village of Usonia.
Back in 1951, Reisley was just 26, newly married and ready to put down roots. He and his wife began looking for a place in Manhattan. But what they liked, they couldn’t afford on his sound engineer’s salary and what they could, they didn’t like. Then they heard about Usonia. On their first trip out, they were greeted with such enthusiasm from the 10 families who’d already established homes there that they decided to join.
The house has signature Wright features. It is made with local materials, has a flat roof, wood paneling, concrete floors and custom-made furniture. Over the decades, Reisley has opened his doors to visitors. The house is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Reisley said he’s tried his best to be a good steward（管家）not just of the Wright creation he lives in, but all others as well. He co-founded the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy, anorganizationengaged in the preservationof allof Wright’s remaining buildings. Reisley believes that his devotion to the home and the community are what have kept him in such good health all of these years.
24. How does Reisley feel about having Wright as his house designer?
A. Honored. B. Amused.
C. Stressed. D. Inspired.
25. What made Reisley finally decide to settle down in Usonia?
A. Its natural environment.
B. Its large-sized houses.
C. The convenience of its location.
D. The warmth of its residents.
26. What can we learn about Reisley’s house?
A. It is older than its owner.
B. It uses local materials.
C. It has a pointed roof.
D. It is put up for sale.
27. What can be inferred about Reisley from the last paragraph?
A. He is very attached to Wright buildings.
B. He is devoted to health education.
C. He is an expert in home decoration.
D. He is passionate about tourism.

The peak of Mount Qomolangma, 8, 849meters above sea level. Chimborazo, 6,263m; Mont Blanc, 4, 806m; Pradidali hut, at the foot of the Pala group in the Dolomites, 2,278 m. It is common practice to provide the elevation（高度）of a place. Simple readings are now readily available on our phones and wearables. But elevation is necessarily relative: only the choice of a reference point allows us to express numerically the height of an object or a location.
The idea of sea level as a reference point for elevations has by now been around for so long as to go essentially unnoticed—we mention it without even considering what it means. That the concept has a history is easily ignored. We tend to forget that sea level is a product of technically and culturally determined assumptions. In this book I tell a story of these assumptions.
Appropriately, the book took shape during a summer spent between sea and mountains. A month after visiting the French Riviera and enjoying the sandy beaches of Nice and Menton, I went hiking with friends in the Pala group. Resting on a pass near the Pradidali hut, we began discussing the readings offered by our altimeters（测高仪）. Why did they vary ever so slightly from one instrument to the next?This sense of uncertainty led me to think about the meaning of zero. This is how I began my search for the conceptual history of sea level.
In this book I examine three crucial stages in the history of mean sea level. These stages mirror the development of human conceptions ofthe sea. Since I began thinking about this project in August 2011, the issue of sea-level rise and the need to place it historically have only become more urgent: between then and the end of 2022 the global sea rose by almost 5 centimeters, about half of the overall rise recorded by satellites since 1993.
28. What does the author point out at the beginning of the text?
A. Some mountains are getting higher.
B. Data on wearables are misleading.
C. The concept of elevation is relative.
D. The reference point is hard to locate.
29. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. How the altimeter was invented.
B. What initiated the author’s research.
C. Why the digital readings varied.
D. Where the author spent his holiday.
30. What does the underlined word “it”refer to in the last paragraph?
A. The book. B. The project.
C. Theissue. D. The development.
31. What can be the title of the book mentioned in the text?
A. TheAltimeter: AMust-HaveB. Sea Level: A History
C. Meaning ofZero: Nothing or EverythingD. Mountains to Seas: Ups and Downs
D
The Barcelona subway pulls into the station, the doors slide open and passengers pour out to go about their daily business. Little do they know that as they do so, a burst of energy is sent up to street level to help charge an electric car.
Barcelona has put together a package of clean energy technologies to help public transportation go greener, while also doing its part to tackle climate change and aid Europe’s difficult shift to the privately owned electric vehicle market.
Sixteen stations of Barcelona’s subway system are part ofits new MetroCharge project, whereby the energy from the undergroundtrains’brakes（刹车）is used to power the trains and the stations themselves, while the remainder is sent snaking through cables（电缆）to thesurface to power plug-in stations for privately owned vehicles.
Bernardo Espinoza, an engineer who takes the subway every day, owns an electric car. “I am pleasantly surprised, because I am always looking for where to plug it in,”Espinoza said before catching the subway in a working-class area of southern Barcelona. “And if it is from energy from the trains’brakes, then even better.”
Regenerative brakes have been in trains for decades and are also used in some cars. They consist of an electric motor which collects energy used in the braking action that would be lost as heat by conventional brakes. That energy can be immediately used to accelerate（加速）the vehicle or, in the case of the Barcelona subway system, sent along cables to supply electricity for the station or for electric car chargers.
Alvaro Luna, a professor of electrical engineering, said that the system is innovative in so far as it allows for recycled energy to be redirected to specific local uses-in this case powering electric cars parked nearby. That, he said, boosts efficiency.
32. Why does Barcelona launch the MetroCharge project?
A. To fuel the city’s economy.
B. To enhance passengers’experience.
C. To promote green transportation.
D. To raise the quality of electric cars.
33. What is Espinoza’s concern?
A. How to cut his travel expenses. B. Where to get a parking space.
C. How to avoid rush-hour traffic. D. Where to find a charging point.
34. What aspect of regenerative brakes is discussed in paragraph 5?
A. Their operating conditions. B. Their conventional standard.
C. Their potential risks. D. Their working mechanism.
35. What did Luna say about the system?
A. It uses reclaimed energy creatively. B. It improves workers’efficiency.
C. It prioritizes the safety of trains. D. It generates jobs for the locals.

Ways to Teach Kids Work Ethic Early
Ever watched your child try to get out of doing housework by making excuses?If only theefforttheyputintoavoidingresponsibilitycouldberedirectedinto, well, actual responsibility. In fact, building work ethic（道德）in kids doesn’t require military-style drills. Here are four simple and practical ways.
● Make housework part of the family routine.
Involve your child in the daily running of the house: tidying toys, feeding the dog, watering the plants. _____36_____When the tasks become as routine as brushing teeth, kids internalise that helping with housework is simply part of life.
●_____37_____
You can’t expect your child to tackle their tasks with enthusiasm while you’re complaining about loading the dishwasher. If your child sees you enjoying your work and taking pride in a job well done, they’re far more likely to do the same.
● Build determination through goals.
_____38_____Sometimes you have to help them find their“thing.”Set small, achievable goals together with them and celebrate progress, not perfection. The trick is to let them struggle a bit-resist the urge to help fix things the moment they experience a setback.
● Treat mistakes as opportunities.
Few things strike fear into a child’s heart like the prospect of failing. The best way is to normalise mistakes as a natural part of learning. When kids mess up, don’t jump in with a rescue mission. _____39_____
Teaching kids work ethic is to gently and consistently push them toward responsibility, determination, and pride in their efforts. _____40_____No worry. Those habits you’re building now are setting your child up for a lifetime of resilience（韧性）and satisfaction.
A. The key is consistency.
B. Help kids develop analytical skills.
C. Model the work ethic you want to see.
D. Instead, encourage them to do differently next time.
E. Sometimes, a cleaner living room is the best reward.
F. Progress can be slow, and you’ll wonder if it’s allsinking in.
G. Not every child is born with the willpower of a marathon runner.

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。
As far as I can remember, I’ve always been a night owl. Even in middle school I would stay up very late. I would feel completely at ease doing my homework in bed, with light music on. I found comfort in keeping myself awake when everyone else had gone to bed, and I loved the silence of the night. My parents urged me to get out of this so-called unhealthy habit, but their repeated requests fell on deaf ears.
Fast forward to my first year of college. I still loved the night and would stay up until unruly hours for no apparent reason, chatting online and watching videos. When I finally started tostudy, Iwould racethrough theassignedwork, often well past midnight. My roommates would tell me to go to bed and get up early the following morning to do it instead. Get up early to do my homework?No way!I would never do that.
Then, one day last term, I did exactly that. Bent over my laptop while sitting on the bed in the corner of my room, I suddenly felt a pounding headache, and had to lie down. Unable to keep my eyes open, I decided I had no choice but to finish my homework the next morning. I woke up at 6am. Hardly had I written half a page when I felt a sharp pain in my chest.
At the school clinic, a doctor, with a serious expression on his face, handed me a medical report. “You’re 20, but your heart is 40!”he said. A cold wave went through me. I realized that years of living as a late-night person had turned my heart into an overworked engine.
注意：
(1)续写词数应为150个左右。
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Struck by the doctor’s warning, I knew I had to make a change.
Slowly but surely, my efforts to adjust to the new routine paid off.

Okay, now let’s briefly review what we have done in the past few days. We set off on Mondaymorning and arrived in Melbourne after a two-hour bus ride, we started with a guided tour ofEureka Tower. After lunch, we walked along Collins Street, taking in the view of Town Hall. Wethen took a walk through Chinatown to the State Library. Unexpectedly, we also met MarkusZusak, the author of The Book Thief, at the library on Tuesday morning. We enjoyed the beauty ofthe botanical gardens, followed by a tour of the Victoria Parliament House in the afternoon. Todayis Wednesday. We spent most of the morning on Swanston Street studying the historic architecture. Now we’ve finished lunch. It’s time to head back to school, and you can enjoy the views through the bus windows on the way. A big thank you to my fellow teachers and parent volunteers for yourwonderful help. The students had a great time and learned a lot.
