Like many high school students, Dio is a 15-year-old sports and music lover. However, unlike many others his age, Dio has faced-and conquered-unthinkable health challenges over the past year. It’s hard to believe he couldn’t speak or walk less than a year ago.
Dio, then a freshman in high school, went from daily sports practices to being unable to open his right hand. Dio’s mother took him to hospital, where they received shocking and frightening news: Dio had a brain tumor (瘤). Within three days, he received a successful 13-hour operation. But while recovering in hospital, Dio had a stroke (中風), which left him unable to feel or use the right side of his body and unable to communicate. “I was faced with a really big mountain to climb, but I was determined to make it through,” shares Dio.
He stayed in hospital to receive physical, speech and language therapy (治療). Before his stroke, Dio had taught himself to play both the piano and guitar and listened to music any chance he could. Blake French, Dio’s Speech therapist, had read several research studies on the benefits of music for patients. So, once she learned that singing and music were areas of strength for Dio, she regularly applied it to the therapy. Together, Dio and Blake sang familiar songs, one word at a time. Music helped Dio communicate so much better, and helped him recover his confidence. Months later, Dio was allowed to go back to school.
Although he cannot play sports anymore now, he still plays the guitar and piano. “Music has enabled me to talk normally again. It got me over a really big mountain I was determined to climb,” shares Dio. “And now that I’m past it, I’m even more positive and confident.”
24．What happened to Dio when he was a high school freshman
A．He faced serious health issues. B．He had a stroke before the operation.
C．He received a heart operation. D．He was hurt in a daily sports practice.
25．Why did Blake sing songs with Dio
A．To communicate better. B．To use the power of music.
C．To become more confident. D．To share her love for music.
26．What can be used to describe Dio
A．Humorous and athletic. B．Patient and determined.
C．Easy-going and organised. D．Strong-willed and positive.
27．What does Dio’s experience suggest
A．Music bridges the gap between people. B．Music makes education more successful.
C．Music is the medicine of a troubled mind. D．Music is the language of all human beings.
Errors can be gateways to new ideas. In 1888, Lee Kum Sheung, a young cook in southern China, forgot the oyster soup he was cooking until it became thick and sticky. Once Lee discovered how tasty the soup was, he started selling it in bottles. That lucky mistake made his family later the fourth-richest one in Hong Kong.
But not every mistake brings luck. They lead not to riches but, usually, to embarrassment and self-doubt. Still, even the worst mistake can prove to be useful.
Some mistakes happen for a lack of experience. Katharine Graham made endless errors that could have been avoided after she became the publisher of the Washington Post overnight, following her husband’s sudden death. She was determined to prevent them from happening again. Later Graham developed the Washington Post from a city newspaper into a respected national one.
Of course, even those with plenty of experience can fail. So how can individuals and companies approach mistakes In her book Right Kind of Wrong, Amy Edmondson, a professor at Harvard Business School, explores how to build a healthy relationship with failure. She argues that excellence requires taking risks. The important thing is to establish what needs to be done differently next time.
Ms. Edmondson also argues that neither people nor organisations can learn if they don’t admit that an error has happened. Instead, failures need to be carefully examined. That may mean having a process in place to signal when things have gone wrong. Workers on Toyota’s production lines, for example, can press a button to raise the alarm when problems occur at its car factories, allowing the team to work out what has gone wrong and where.
You cannot error-proof your life. But you can seek to improve. And if all else fails, looking at problems in different ways might help. Your mistake may seem big now, but history has bigger ones. In 1867, Russia sold Alaska to America for just $7.2 million — a price far lower than its real value, which was a much bigger mistake than any of yours.
28．What can we learn from Lee’s story
A．Efforts matter on the road to success B．Originality may come along by mistake.
C．Good luck results from good preparations. D．Small mistakes can bring about big disasters.
29．Why did Katharine Graham make many unnecessary mistakes in the beginning
A．She was irresponsible. B．She was unconfident.
C．She was inexperienced. D．She was unconcerned.
30．What is stressed by mentioning Toyota’s workers
A．Taking risks to pursue excellence. B．Checking production lines carefully
C．Having ways to warn of problems. D．Doing things differently after failures.
31．What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean
A．Avoiding mistakes is impossible. B．Correcting mistakes is beneficial.
C．Regretting mistakes is meaningless. D．Apologising for mistakes is necessary.
Scientists working in Indonesia have observed an orangutan (猩猩) intentionally treating a wound on his face with a medical plant, the first time this behaviour has been documented.
According to a paper published in Scientific Reports, Rakus, a male orangutan, treated a facial wound by chewing (咀嚼) leaves from a plant and then covered the wound with the chewed leaves, which are used in traditional medicine to treat certain illnesses. The study’s lead author Isabelle Laumer said the team were “very excited” by the observation. Although other wild primates (靈長類動物) are known to use plants that have medical effects, scientists have never seen them used to treat recent wounds.
The team believe Rakus intentionally used the plant as he applied it over and over again in a process that took several minutes. Rakus was most likely hurt in a fight with another male orangutan, which is not common in this area due to plenty of food and good relationships between orangutans. This means orangutans seldom suffer wounds, giving researchers few opportunities to observe this behaviour.
As for how Rakus learnt to treat his wound, one explanation is “accidental individual invention”. The orangutan may have touched his wound accidentally while feeding on the plant and felt immediate pain relief due to its pain-relieving effects, making him repeat the behaviour. Another explanation is that Rakus learned from other orangutans in the area where he was born.
The observation provides new understanding about the existence of self-treatment in our closest relatives and how wound treatment began in evolution, added Laumer, raising the possibility that wound treatment may come from a common ancestor shared by humans and orangutans. Thus researchers plan to closely observe other orangutans in the area to see if the behaviour is repeated. “The findings indicate how much humans and orangutans have in common. We are more similar than different,” she said. “We hope this study raises awareness of how to protect these endangered animals in the wild.”
32．Why is Rakus thought to have used the plant on purpose
A．He managed to tell the plant from others. B．He taught his partners to do the same thing.
C．He repeated the behaviour in a certain period. D．He had used plants with medical effects before.
33．What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A．The individual invention Rakus designed. B．The possible ways Rakus learnt self-treatment.
C．The delicious plants Rakus fed on accidentally. D．The immediate pain relief Rakus got from the plant.
34．What do the researchers plan to do
A．Analyze the findings. B．Identify more evidence.
C．Prove the significance. D．Consider more possibilities.
35．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A．Plant Is Found to Treat Animal Wound B．Orangutans Include Plant in their Diet
C．Scientists Discover New Medical Plant D．Orangutan Uses Plant to Deal with Injury
Have you ever felt like it’s hard to get your parents to understand you Even though they were your age once, you might feel that they simply can’t relate to you or your struggles. But, if you want to have a close relationship with them, you need to be able to speak to them effectively. 36
37 Talk about what has been troubling you and why. It’s really important that you be truthful with your parents during this process, no matter how difficult it might seem.
Use “I” statements. When having a serious talk with your family, avoid saying “you always” or “you never”. 38 Avoid blaming (責備) other people or becoming defensive. In order for them to understand you, they need to hear things from your point of view.
Keep a calm tone (語氣). 39 Avoid shouting or complaining at all costs. Take a few deep breaths to calm down when you feel stressed. Remember that the more sensible you are, the more likely they’ll be able to understand you.
Give them some time. Even if your parents do not understand you immediately, don’t worry! 40 If you are hoping your parents will change their mind about something, give them some time. Until then, respect their decision.

六、書面表達
67．閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
Joel’s life had been full of struggles since losing his parents, but everything changed when Sally took him in. Sally, a kind-hearted woman who made a living selling lemonade (檸檬水) in her community, carefully took care of Joel and patiently taught him how to behave properly and value integrity (誠實). Joel, in turn, was a helpful and honest boy who brought joy to Sally’s life. Their days were filled with laughter and shared dreams.
However, their happy life fell apart when Sally developed a serious heart disease. The doctor recommended a major operation, but the $150,000 cost was far beyond their reach. Facing this challenge, Joel felt a growing sense of responsibility to do something.
Determined to help, Joel reopened Sally’s lemonade stand (貨攤) to raise money. With hope in his heart, he painted a bright new sign: crossed lemons over a pink heart, inspired by the symbol on Sally’s hospital wristband (腕帶). Every early morning, he set up the stand, juicing lemons and greeting customers with a bright smile. The community responded warmly, buying extra cups and leaving tips.
One sunny afternoon, a well-dressed man stopped by the stand and studied the sign before ordering three cups of lemonade. “Keep the change,” he said, handing Joel a $100 bill. Joel immediately recognized him as Mr. Dome, a wealthy businessman who often helped the community, and thanked him sincerely. After learning about Sally’s illness, Mr. Dome became a regular visitor, often buying lemonade and leaving generous tips. His kindness, along with the community’s support, gave Joel the strength to keep running the stand for Sally.
Week after week, however, the money came in too slowly, and Sally’s savings were running out. Joel grew more anxious as Sally’s once lively spirit faded. One evening, weighed down by worry, Joel walked the streets aimlessly, his mind heavy with despair. Suddenly, a shiny wallet lying on the ground caught his eye.
注意：
(1)續寫詞數應為150個左右；

Joel leaned down and picked up the wallet.

M: That’s cool. Now, your album mixes jazz, electronic beats, and even old-style folk music. How did this unique mix come together

【原文】
W: Good morning, everyone. Welcome to our school’s Reading Improvement Month special event. Over the years, we’ve invited writers and librarians to share reading techniques. But today’s guest brings fresh ideas particularly suited to our digital age. We’re pleased to have Dr. Michael Brown with us. Dr. Brown is an award-winning education specialist from McGill University in Montreal. He first worked with primary schools in London, helped develop reading programs in Toronto, and now advises our city’s education department. Dr. Brown often mentions that modern students face unique challenges. Many believe reading fewer books is acceptable because they read countless social media posts daily. However, short online articles don’t train our brains like full-length books do, which are important for developing critical thinking. What’s worse, some people claim “speed-reading apps can replace traditional reading” — Dr. Brown says these lack scientific evidence. He won’t tell us exactly what to read, but will teach us how to balance digital and paper books, and choose proper reading materials for different ages. Let’s give a warm welcome to Dr. Brown, who will help us fall in love with deep reading again!

My Summer Vacation Plan
With the summer vacation approaching, I’ve designed a special plan to make good use of this precious time.
First, I’ll jog for about 60 minutes with my parents every other morning to stay fit and energetic. Then, I’ll read one story from 365 Bedtime Stories in English nightly and write down my insights to improve my English. Additionally, I’ll volunteer at the local library with my desk mate in late July, helping organize books and guiding readers.
This mix of exercise, learning, and community service will help me keep active, grow smarter, and become kinder — a perfect summer! (93 words)

Joel leaned down and picked up the wallet. As he opened it, his eyes widened at the sight of a large sum of cash. This unexpected fortune could help save Sally’s life. He was torn between his love for Sally and his moral principles, but Sally’s teachings about honesty rang clear in his head. Then he noticed a business card with the name Mr. James Dome. Joel recalled the generous man who had supported his lemonade stand. Taking a deep breath, Joel held the wallet tightly, headed toward the address on the card, and returned it to its owner.Moved by Joel’s honesty, Mr. Dome made a decision. “Let me cover the costs you need,” he said with a warm smile. “Your integrity deserves to be rewarded.” Joel’s heart raced, a mix of disbelief and gratitude flooding over him. “Thank you... thank you so much,” he managed to say, his voice shaking with emotion. Soon, with Mr. Dome’s support, Sally received a successful operation, her strength steadily returning day by day. Watching Sally recover and their future brighten, Joel learned a valuable lesson: even in life’s darkest moments, kindness from others and personal honesty can light the way forward.
