They became fast friends, bonding over a curiosity about the others culture.After my dad moved to Tennessee in 1993, Mr. Kosuge sent a holiday package to wish my parents a good next chapter. My parents returned the gesture, and since then, two distant families have established an annual tradition. Even as my parents and I relocated every few years throughout my growth, the arrival of a package from Japan was one of the few lasting constants in our lives.This summer, I traveled to Tokyo for some reporting. I told my dad, who was planting a persimmon（柿子） tree in the backyard in California. If he was in town and available, my dad suggested, I could pay Mr. Kosuge a visit.I walked out of Tokyos Haneda Airport and spotted Mr. Kosuge immediately. He held a handwritten sign with my Chinese name. On the train ride into the city, Mr. Kosuge pulled out a small photo album. I opened it to see a picture of my dad, with more hair and fewer wrinkles, holding me as a preschooler. On the next page I was in my middle school graduation dress. Then came my first high school singing performance, and I left the nest for college.Mr. Kosuge and I discovered that we share a love for persimmons, a fruit enjoyed in both Japan and China. After leaving Tokyo, I traveled around the Kansai region, where persimmons flourish, to learn the art of making dried persimmon.Before saying goodbye to the Kosuges, I invited them to visit my family in California, where they can help themselves to the persimmon tree anytime. Until then, Ill be practicing the art of making dried persimmon with persimmons harvested by my parents, and perhaps well include some in our annual Christmas package to the Kosuges. My Japanese uncle has been sharing with us a taste of Japan for more than two decades, and its about time we did it.24What tradition did the two families develop?ATraveling together around the world.BPlanting persimmon trees in the backyard.CSending a gift package to each other every year.DSettling down in a different place every few years.25What did the author find from Mr. Kosuges photo album?AA handwritten sign with her Chinese name.BThe endless love of her parents.CHer constant pursuit of knowledge.DThe memorable moments throughout her, growth.26Why did the author plan to send some dried persimmon to Mr. Kosuge?ATo pay back his favor.BTo indicate her dads good harvest.CTo stress the. popularity of persimmons.DTo satisfy Mr. Kosuges love for persimmons.27What is the main idea of the text?AA gift coming from a remote country.BA return favor for a lasting relationship.CA family friendship across continents.DA visit to a friend in a distant country.CCompanies have been switching from, plastic straws to paper ones on the grounds of being more environmentally friendly. However, new research suggests the good - intentioned trend might not be the best alternative after all.The study found the vast majority of paper straws tested contained PFAS. Commonly referred to as “forever chemicals,” PFAS dont break down in the body or in the environment.“Straws made from plant-based materials, such as paper and bamboo, are often advertised as being more sustainable and eco-friendly than those made from plastic,” said Thimo Groffen, author of the study. “However, the presence of PFAS in these straws means thats not necessarily true.”Researchers on the study examined 39 brands of straws in Belgium from supermarkets, toy stores, fast-food chains, drug stores and e-commerce stores. The straws were either made of paper, bamboo; glass, stainless steel or plastic, and the researchers tested each brand for concentrations of PFAS. 69% of the brands contained PFAS, with paper straws more likely to contain the chemicals. The researchers found 90% of paper straws had PFAS, compared to 80% of bamboo straws, 75% of plastic straws, and 40% of glass straws. Further, a paper straw brand was the brand with the highest PFAS concentration.Small amounts of PFAS do not pose a risk. However, a build-up of the chemicals in the body may cause dangerous health problems like liver damage, increased blood“The presence of PFAS in paper and bamboo straws shows they are not necessarily biodegradable（可生物降解的）,” said Groffen. “We did not detect any PFAS in stainless steel straws, so I would advise consumers to use this type of strawor just avoid using straws at all.”28Why do companies show a preference for paper straws?AThey are considered more economical.BThey are considered less harmful to the environment.CThey are considered more beneficial to health.DThey are considered easier to produce.29What can we know about PFAS from the text?AThey exist the least in plastic straws.BThey protect our health effectively.CThey are basic materials for straws.DThey are a potential threat to human health.30What does Groffen probably agree with?APaper straws will become more popular.BWe should use glass straws more often.CWed better drink without using straws.DStainless steel straws should be avoided.31Which of the following serves as the best title?APaper straws are more likely to contain forever chemicalsBPaper straws have entirely taken the place of plastic strawsCPaper straws have caused dangerous, health problems to humansDPaper straws will become the best alternative for us in the futureD“From one day to the next, our profession was wiped out. We woke up and discovered our skills were unnecessary.” This is what two successful graphic designers told me about the impact of AI. The old promisecreative workers would be better protected than others from mechanization（机械化）ruined overnight. If visual artists can be replaced by machines, who is safe?While theres plenty of talk about how education might change, little has been done to equip students for a world whose conditions shift so fast. Its not just at work that young people will confront sudden changes of state. They are also likely to witness more environmental breakdown and the collapse of certain human-made systems.Why are we so unprepared? Why do we manage our lives so badly? Why are we so expert at material innovation, but so unskilled at creating a society in which everyone can succeed? Why do obvious lies spread like wildfire? What is lacking in our education that leaves such gap s in our lives?The word education partly comes from Latin, meaning “to lead out”. Too often it leads us in: into old ways of thinking, into dying professions. Too seldom does it lead us out of our cognitive and emotional circles, out of a political and economic system thats killing us.I dont claim to have definitive answers. But I believe the extreme demands, throughout our schooling, of tests and exams reduce the range of our thinking. The exam system creates artificial borders. The intense combined demands of the testing system leave almost no time to respond to opportunities and events, or for children to develop their own interests.Education should be joyful and delightful, not only because joy and delight are essential to our health and happiness, but also because we are more likely to survive major changes. Schooling alone will not be enough to lead us out of the many crises and disasters we now face. But it should at least lend us a torch.32Why does the author quote the two graphic designers?ATo stress the issue of unemployment.BTo show the wide application of AI.CTo indicate the creativity of artists.DTo set the tone for further discussion.33What does the underlined word “confront” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?AObject to.BBring about.CMeet with.DCall for.34What do the questions in Paragraph 3 chiefly reflect?AThe numerous social problems to solve.BThe complex features of current society.CThe disadvantages of the current education system.DThe success of everyone in material matters.35What is the authors attitude towards the exam system?ACritical.BTolerant.CApproving.DAmbiguous.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Phone call anxiety is on the rise, with a quarter of 18-24 year olds avoiding picking up the phone. 36 The avoidance of phone calls isnt just a preference; its a reflection of anxiety. The immediacy and directness of a phone call, without the ability to carefully respond as in text-based communication, can be discouraging. 37 Even traditional forms of speaking can set off a release of oxytocin, which helps reduce social anxiety symptoms. However, in the absence of physical cues（提示） and the comfort of a known audience, phone calls can worsen these anxieties, making the experience feel more intense.In face-to-face interactions, we rely heavily on gestures, facial expressions, and body language to interpret messages, which are absent in phone conversations. 38 The fear of making and receiving phone calls can have negative effects on both your personal and professional lives. 39 Although answering the phone and making calls may seem like a simple task that everyone should be able to do, suffering from phone call anxiety can be terrifying and real.While its understandable why phone calls can feel awkward in todays digital age, its essential to recognize the value they hold in effective communication and relationship building. As we navigate this “phone anxiety pandemic”, it is crucial to encourage and relearn the art of phone conversation, balancing the ease of texting with the depth and authenticity of a real-time voice call. 40 AThis anxiety is not entirely new.BWho are reluctant to pick up phones?CWhy are we making fewer phone calls?DIt represents a sense of being separated.ETherefore, it is important to take phone anxiety seriously.FThis can lead to misunderstandings and a feeling of disconnect.GThis balanc
