A. Choose the best answer(選擇最恰當的答案) (7分)
(A)
When I was thirteen years old, I became very interested in shopping. After a while being just a buyer, I wanted to sell something. I had many things around the house from my childhood that I no longer needed. I knew, with the help of my father, I could make money. So for months and months I enjoyed myself by selling things on my dad’s account (賬戶).
On December 9, 2017, I opened my own account and began to start my own business. Things were going great and then I realized that selling things around the house wasn’t making me the kind of money that I wanted to make, so I decided to turn my business into a resale shop. I went around to the garage sale (舊貨出售處) and bought items at low prices and sold them at higher prices later.
Last November, I went to a garage sale that was a little bit different. A single lady had many nice items that I knew I would sell quickly. I went up to her and started a conversation with her. Through the conversation, I knew she was jobless at the moment and needed money to support her family. I decided to sell any of her things for her to help her out. She looked at me for a moment and then broke into tears. I took away some of her things and over the next month I made over $1,500 for her. She was so thankful for all of my help. I have never felt so happy to help someone in my life. I felt as if I had made a difference in this world and that my skills could be used to help someone who would really need it.
35. At first, __________ helped the writer make money by selling things.
A. the writer’s bank B. the writer’s father
C. the writer’s teacher D. a single lady
36. The writer went to the garage sale to __________.
A. meet single ladies B. sell things she no longer needed
C. help others D. buy things for her resale shop

A. the lady’s items were nice B. the lady lived a hard life
C. she liked the lady very much D. the lady asked the writer for help

C. A Helpful Skill D. How to Sell Things
(B)
On a hill 600 feet above the surrounding land, we watch the lines of rain move across the scene, the moon rise over the hills, and the stars appear in the sky. The views invite a long look from a comfortable chair in front of the wooden house.
Every window in our wooden house has a view, and the forest and lakes seldom look the same as the hour before. Each look reminds us where we are. (Paragraph 2)
There is space for our three boys to play outside, to shoot arrows, collect tree seeds, build earth houses and climb trees.
Our kids have learned the names of the trees, and with the names have come familiarity and appreciation. As they tell all who show even a passing interest, maple(楓樹) makes the best fighting sticks and white pines are the best climbing trees.
The air is clean and fresh. The water from the well has a pleasant taste, and it is perhaps the healthiest water our kids will ever drink. Though they have one glass a day of juice and the rest is water, they never say anything against that.
The seasons change just outside the door. We watch the maples turn every shade of yellow and red in the fall and note the poplars (楊樹) putting out the first green leaves of spring. The rainbow smelt fills the local steam as the ice gradually disappears, and the wood frogs start to sing in pools after being frozen for the winter. A family of birds rules our sky and flies over the lake.
39. From Paragraph 2, we can learn that __________.
A. The scenes are colorful and changeable.
B. There are many windows in the wooden house.
C. The views remind us that we are in a wooden house.
D. The lakes outside the windows are quite different in color.
40. By mentioning (提到) the names of the trees, the writer wants to show that __________.
A. the kids like playing in trees B. the kids are very familiar with trees
C. the kids have learned much knowledge D. the kids find trees useful learning tools
41. The writer writes the text in order to __________.
A. describe the beauty of the scene around the house. B. introduce her children’s happy life in the forest.
C. show that living in the forest is healthful. D. share the joy of living in nature.
B. Choose the best words or phrases to complete the passage. (選擇最恰當的單詞或詞組完成短文)(6分)
In the early 1900s, American chemist Harvey W. Wiley led the famous “Poison Squad” experiment, which showed the dangers of uncontrolled food additives (添加劑) and made people realize the importance of knowing what was in the food they bought. However, it wasn’t until almost 90 years later that a law asked companies to display what was really ____42____ the boxes, cans, and bags in American grocery stores. Then, consumers (消費者) had clear information to help them make healthier choices.
Today, it’s hard to imagine walking around a supermarket without these labels. Yet when we browse the internet—another necessary marketplace in our lives—there is ____43____ information about what we are “consuming” with each click. We're taking in huge amounts of digital information, often without any idea of its “nutritional” content.
Just like nutrition labels (營養標簽) that help you make better choices about what enters your body, content labels can help you take control of what gets into your ____44____. This will reduce harmful behavior such as useless surfing and time wasted on meaningless browsing.
With social media platforms under attack for creating bad feelings, a content labeling system could offer users a much-needed tool to make healthier digital choices.
____45____, U. S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy recently suggested warning labels for online platforms. Much like cigarette packages, they should tell users about the ____46____ of browsing harmful content. What’s more, that’s not enough—we also need instructions. Content labels provide those. They offer a way for users to control their “diets” on the Internet.
With the help of these tools, we could ____47____ content labels before diving into a news article or blog post.
42. A. on B. inside C. outside D. under
43. A. many B. much C. little D. few
44. A. heart B. mouth C. action D. mind
45. A. In fact B. However C. In a word D. After all
46. A. advantages B. risks C. reasons D. uses
47. A. follow B. create C. check D. notice
C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words. (在短文的空格內填入適當的詞，使其內容通順。每空格限填一詞，首字母已給。)(7分)
Racing into the future
In 2024, we saw many new scientific achievements. What can we expect in 2025
Mind-reading machines
In 2025, China plans to make brain-computer interface (BCI，腦機接口) devices (設備) to help people in different ways, like in medicine and virtual reality (虛擬現實). NEO, one device made by Chinese scientists, is a wireless (無線的) BCI with eight small parts that connect to the brain. It helps people who can’t move their hands to use t___48___ again.
AI agents
AI, or artificial intelligence, is changing the world a lot. AI agents, which can see what’s around them and make choices by themselves, are becoming important. AI agents can help with “easy” jobs like filling out reports. Then, as we make b___49___ ones, they will be able to watch and control systems on their own. For example, an AI agent app can help plan your summer trip by booking flights, hotel rooms, and restaurant tables. It even r___50___ that you like hotels with pools.
Space p___51___
Space traffic this year will be as busy as that in 2024. China completed its first space mission of the year on Jan 7 with a Long March 3B rocket. In 2025, our country will complete Shenzhou manned missions and Tianzhou cargo (貨物) missions to the Tiangong space station. A___52___ , China and the European Union will work together to send the SMILE satellite into space in order to study the solar wind and get a deeper understanding of the Sun-Earth relation.
Going clean
Due to climate change, 2024 was the hottest year on record. Because of this, g___53___ technology has become more important than ever. One key technology is carbon capture and storage (CCS，碳捕獲與儲存). It works by taking CO away from other gases at factories before people r___54___ the gases into the air, and transporting the CO to an underground site. By October 2024, CCS projects had held about 45 million tons of CO every year, equaling the emissions of 10 million cars. In 2025, clean energy is set to be used more for power than coal.
D. Answer the questions. (根據短文內容回答問題) (6分)
“Hello! I said to myself today that if I did five handstands, it would be an excellent year, and I did!” Thus began the 41-volume (and counting) diary of my life. It was 1984 and I was 14, feeling my way through adolescence (青少年時期). Most of the diaries have lain unread since I wrote them. Yet every morning. I hold my pen and write up yesterday.
You pay more attention to the world when you know you’ll be writing it up. I recorded a pony-tailed metalworker from Canada who shared the same singers with me and a middle-aged woman in a waiting room who described to me her lively garden. I want to write about even the dullest day because the ordinary things of today will be tomorrow’s history.
The past still lives on in those pages, and I can feel it closing over me if I look back on them. Recently, I read every day of my university years. It was like reading a novel about someone else. I read of difficult situations I no longer recalled and of dramas whose endings I had forgotten. Long-lost friends danced to a Swedish pop group in my student room, and long-dead voices spoke again. When I closed the diary, I felt like I went into a different century, a different home and a different family, and surprised at the years that had brought me here.
It’s a weighty business recording a life, yet it has taught me not to take myself too seriously. When painful moments are written down, I can more easily let them go. Seeing life as a story with an unknown number of chapters to write is both exciting and frightening. I plan to record the days until I can no longer hold a pen. The only part of the story I’ll never get to write will be the ending.
55. When did the writer start writing diaries
______________________________________
56. The writer never writes about uninteresting days, does she
______________________________________
57. How did the writer feel when reading her university years
______________________________________
58. Why does the writer love keeping diaries so much
______________________________________
59. What does the writer mean by saying “The only part of the story I’ll never get to write will be the ending.”

Difficulty has changed me
Last year, my father bought me a very thick book. The book has more than 500 pages. At the beginning, I felt a lot of pressure because I didn’t know when I would finish reading the book. But my father told me that I could do it as long as I worked hard. I began to realize that instead of being afraid of difficulties, I wanted to be brave. So I read two pages a day. I finally finished reading it this year. My father said he was proud of me.
At first, it was very difficult for me to finish reading the book. But when I finally overcame this difficulty, I realized that I had become brave.
