My violin is likea soulmate that whispers words of wisdom to me.Together，we've gone through both tearsand happiness.

About 12 years ago，I made acquaintance （熟悉）with it follwing an order from my mom. Many hours of boredom were spent practicing it.And to make things worse，the disappointment in my teacher's eyes as I played the wrong noteswas like an invisible hammer（鐵錘），striking on my heart. One day，I finally decided： I hate it！ But things changed when I was seven.I searched online for the E -minor Concerto， a well-known violin work by German composer Felix Mendelssohn，and listened to it.

A beautiful and mysterious sound came from the violinas the bow moved across it.It was like the music slid over the flowers，roseup，and startedto filltheair.The violin's voice wokeup the sun，made the trees green，and freshened the air.As the music changed，the sky turned back to gray.Icould hear children crying and men shouting. It was likean invisible claw had grabbed my heart tightly，making itunable to beat.

That glorious day setoffmy passonand interest in violin—Igrabbed mineand never let it go.Before the memories faded，I staredat my instrument.Without hesitating，I picked itup，and began to play.Peace filled my heart.

My violin has been bymy side for 12 years.When Ifeel happy，an energetic tune makes it even better; when I'm deep insadness，a peaceful tune （旋律）washes it away. Gradually，it has become a part of my life.

24.What further contributed to the author's dislike of violin-playig？

A.Orders from Mom. B.Boredom of practice.

C.Loss of interest for it. D.Disappointment from the teacher.

25.What canbe inferred about theviolin'svoice from Paragraph 3？

A. It is variable. B.It is fearful. C. It is strange. D. It is touching.

26.Why did the author pick up the violin？

A. The invisible hammer had gone. B.A famous tune excited his interest.

For eight monthsup to this April，aFrench bookstore chain had video ina Paris shop fedto software that examines shoppers’movements and facial expressions for surprise，dissatisfaction，confusion or hesitation.When a shopper walked to the end of an aisle （走廊）only to return with confusion to a bookshelf， the software immediately messaged clerks，who went to help.Sales rose by a tenth.

This could be a chance，some say，for physical retailers （零售商）to trim the advantage that data have long given online sellers.A race is on to work out how best to collect and use emotions data，be it to improve packaging，displays，music，or the content，says Rana June，chief executive ofa firm in New York called Lightwave.It measures shoppers’emotions for consumer-goods firms.

Not everyone is impressed.Nielsen，a consumer research company views using technology to work out shoppers’emotions unfavorably.“It is a litle annoying，”says Ricardo Gutierrez，head of shopper insights at Nielsen Colombia in Bogota.

But it is much cheaper. Nielsen charges roughly $＼$ 10，000$ to interview 25 shoppers about three products.Angus.ai， the Paris startup behind the technology， charges just ￡59 （about $＼$ 65$ ）a month per camera.What’s more，traditional market research can mislead.People typically “edit” responses to make themselves sound sensible，when purchases are often driven by subconscious （潛意識的） emotions.And surveys can also ask the wrong questions—such as how much people like a product when what really matters iswhether it makes them feel attractive.

The notion of “retail therapy （療法）”，consumers driven to spend when they are feeling blue，is an obvious example of shopping's emotional side.Whichever store is the first to work out how to spot mildly depressed customers could make big money.

28.What was the function of the video in the Paris bookstore？

A.Checkingits daily sales. B.Examiningits clerks’work.

C.Monitoring its book storage. D.Watching its shoppers'emotions.

29.What does the underlined word “trim” in Paragraph 2 mean？

A.Notice. B.Miss. C. Reduce. D. Introduce.

30.What is the author's attitude to Angus.ai’s technology according to Paragraph 4？

A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Critical. D. Negative.

31.Whyisretail therapymentioned in the last paragraph？

A.To prove shopping is mood-driven.

B.To predict the future of physical retail.

C.To introduce different types of shoppers.

D.To explain the disadvantages of overconsumption.

Making fabric from waste potato plants could offer a more sustainable option to pure cotton， as pressure grows on the fashion industry to reduce its environmental impact.

Potatoes pose a headache for farmers.The tubers （塊莖）are harvested and eaten，but the above-ground plant contains solanine，which is poisonous，so it can't be used for animal feed.Farmers usually remove this mater before potatoes are harvested.

Now，a UK startup company，Fibe，wants to avoid this waste by extracting （提取） fibres from potato stems （?） to make a sustainable fabric.In April， it introduced the world's first potato thread，a mixture of 75 per cent cotton and 25 per cent potato fibres.

The approach began as a project by a group of design engineering students，including Gal-Shohet，at Imperial College London.Tasked with designing a sustainable business concept， the group investigated using waste plants to create a more sustainable alternative to cotton.The students chose potato plants because theyare mass-produced all over the world，rich in fibres and their leaves have no other practical use.They turned their idea into a business after graduating in 2022.

Fibe primarily uses non-biological process to extract the fibres.“Once raw fibres are extracted， they are cleaned and graded to produce soft balls.The potato fibres are similar in quality to coton，”says GalShohet.However，because the land isalready being used to grow potatoes，potato fibres require 99.7 per cent less water and produce 82 per cent fewer carbon emissions，as well as needing no additional land， according to Fibe's internal analysis.

Muhammad Tausif at the University of Leeds，UK，who has worked with Fibe，says industry demand for sustainable fibres is growing，but the company will need to prove its potato fibres have the“length， fineness and strength”to compete with cotton.“For a fibre to be successful and to be made into a product， these are the key factors，”he says.

32.What do the underlined words“this matter” in Paragraph 2 refer to？

A. Pure cotton. B.The poisonous tuber. C.Animal feed. D.The above-ground plan

33.What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 4？

A.Summarize the previous paragraphs. B.Add some background information.

C.Provide some advice for the students. D.Introduce a new topic for discussion.

34.What does Fibe's internal analysis highlight about using potato fibres？

A.Its standard requirements. B.Its environmental advantages.

C.Its technical barriers. D. Its wide applications.

35.WhatdoesTausif expectFibeto do？

A.Workwithbusinesspartners.

B.Make a difference to the fibre industry.

C.Demonstrate its fibres'competitive qualities.

D.Introduce appealing products into the market.

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。

The gym was alive with the sounds of squeaking shoes， bouncing basketbals，and teammates shouting plays. It was game day，and I should have been focused，but my mind was elsewhere.My thoughts dragged me down，and I couldn't shake the heavinessI felt.

Every time Ipassed the ball，Ryan，one of our best players，would make some snide （挖苦的）remarks： “Can't you aim bettr，Eliot？”or“Guess we know who won't be taking the game-winning shot today.”His words cut deep，feeding my doubts.Iwanted to fire back，but the energy wasn't there.

Coach Rivera noticed something was off.“Eliot，can Italk to you for a second？”he said after practice. His voice was calm but firm，the way it always was when he saw something wrong.I sighed，knowing I couldn'tavoid the conversation.“Yeah，Coach？\"He studied me for a moment，his eyes serious.“You're not yourself lately. I've also noticed there's tension between you and Ryan. What’s going on？\"

Ihesitated， then said，“Nothing，I'm fine.\"

Coach didn't buy it.“T've been around long enough to know when something's weighing on a player. You're not just dealing with basketball issues，are you？\"

I finally admitted，my throat tight and my eyes starting to water，“I have some family problems... My parents had an accident，and I've had to take care of them.”

Coach nodded，understanding.“That’s a lot to handle.But Ryan..he's a tough guy，and you two are teammates，and the team only works if you're united.Let's talk things through.”

The next day. Coach pulled Ryan and me aside.The conversation was awkward at first.Ryan explained that he felt I wasn't pulling my weight in the games.Itold himabout my situation though Ididn't go into details.

Ryan's expression softened.“I didn't know you were dealing with so much. I'm sorry for pushing you too hard，\" he said.“Icould have handled it better，”Iadmitted.

注意：續寫詞數應為150個左右。

With Coach's help，Ryan and I started working together instead of against each other.

In the championship game，Ryan passed me the ball for the game-winning shot.
