Growing up in a small village in Ghana, Osei Boateng watched many of his family members and neighbors struggle to access basic health care. In many regions of the country, it can take hours to get to the nearest hospital. “My grandmother was a very big part of my life,” said Boateng. “It was very hard when we lost her, and it was due to something that could have been easily prevented. That is the painful part of it.”
Feeling an urgent call to help, Boateng decided he would make it his life’s mission to bring health care to remote communities in Ghana. He started his nonprofit, OKB Hope Foundation, and in 2021, he converted a van into a mobile doctor’s office called the Hope Health Van and started bringing health care directly to those in need. A few times a week, the mobile clinic and medical team travel long distances to remote communities in Ghana and provide routine medical care for free. On each trip, Boateng’s team consists of a nurse, a physician’s assistant, a doctor, and an operation assistant. In the van, they can run basic labs like bloodwork and urinalysis as well as prescribe and provide medications.
Since its launch, Boateng says the Hope Health Van has served more than 4,000Ghanaians across more than 45 rural communities who otherwise don’t have easily accessible medical care.
Boateng has big plans for the future. He hopes to expand to provide more consistent and high-quality medical care not only to those living in remote areas of Ghana but in other countries as well. He has gone all in on his OKB Hope Foundation, recently quitting his job to dedicate his time to bringing health care to his home country. But for him, the sacrifices are well worth the reward.
4. Why is Boateng’s grandmother mentioned?
A. To show his deep love. B. To highlight the poor health care.
C. To call for equality. D. To blame the government.
5. What cannot patients get in the van?
A. Routine medical checks. B. Prescribed medicine.
C. Minor operations. D. Mental therapy.
6. What can best describe Boateng?
A. Conservative and cautious. B. Selfless and risky.
C. Caring and tolerant. D. Devoted and ambitious.
7. What’s the best title for this passage?
A. Hopeless health care in Ghana B. Nonprofit organizations booming in Ghana

(Osei Boateng在加纳的一个小村庄长大,他目睹了他的许多家庭成员和邻居为获得基本医疗保健而苦苦挣扎。在该国的许多地区,去最近的医院可能需要几个小时)”和““It was very hard when we lost her, and it was due to something that could have been easily prevented. That is the painful part of it.”(我们失去她的时候非常难过,这是因为一些事情本可以轻易预防。这是痛苦的部分)”可知,提及Boateng的奶奶是想强调Ghana基础医疗条件不好,很多本可以容易治愈的疾病夺走人们的性命。故选B项。

He has gone all in on his OKB Hope Foundation, recently quitting his job to dedicate his time to bringing health care to his home country. (Boateng对未来有着宏伟的计划。他希望扩大范围,不仅为生活在加纳偏远地区的人,也为其他国家的人提供更一致、更高质量的医疗服务。他全力支持他的OKB希望基金会,最近辞去了工作,把时间花在为祖国带来医疗保健上)”可知,Boateng提供免费医疗服务,最后一段提到了主人公的远大抱负,并辞职全力投入,说明Boateng是一个专心致志,雄心勃勃的人。故选D项。

If you’re eating protein (蛋白质), you could be swallowing hundreds of tiny pieces of plastic each year, research finds.
A new study by researchers with the nonprofit Ocean Conservancy and the University of Toronto found microplastics — tiny particles ranging from one micrometer to a half-centimeter in size — in nearly 90 percent of protein food samples tested.
The researchers analyzed more than a dozen different types of common proteins that could wind up on the average American’s plate, including seafood, pork, beef, chicken, to fu and several plant-based meat alternatives. They estimated that an American adult could consume, on average, at least 11,000 microplastic pieces per year.
The study’s findings provide further evidence of the availability of small plastic particles — which have been discovered everywhere from Antarctic snow to inside human bodies — and how they can end up in the food we eat and the water we drink.
“While we still really don’t have any idea what the human health consequences of this are, if there are any at all, we need to take this seriously because this is a problem that’s not going away on its own, and it’s only going to get worse the more plastic we use and throwaway,” Leonard said. But Leonard and other experts cautioned against using the findings to draw final conclusions about how microplastics can dirty food and the amount of plastic that could be hiding in proteins.
The study’s sample size was not big enough and the researchers noted that there was high variability in microplastic concentrations in the samples. The researchers also only counted microplastic particles that were larger than or equal in size to 45 micrometers. “It just highlights that we need to do more research,” said Bianca Datta, a food scientist not involved in the new research.
8. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The nature of plastic particles. B. The researchers’ discovery.
C. The variety of foods on a dining table. D. The conclusion of the research.
9. What is Leonard’s attitude towards the findings?
A. Cautious. B. Critical. C. Confident. D. Concerned.
10. What is the author’s purpose of writing the last paragraph?
A. To show the limitation of the research.
B. To highlight the danger of microplastic concentrations.
C. To appeal for environmental protection.
D. To stress the urgency of the study.
11. Which of the following would be the best title?
A. Stay away from plastics B. Possible effects of food processing
C You may be eating plastics D. A poisoned food system
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文,介绍了研究表明,我们日常生活饮食可能会让我们摄入大量的微塑料。

They estimated that an American adult could consume, on average, at least 11,000 microplastic pieces per year.(研究人员分析了十几种不同类型的常见蛋白质,这些蛋白质最终可能出现在普通美国人的盘子里,包括海鲜、猪肉、牛肉、鸡肉、豆腐和几种植物性肉类替代品。他们估计,一个美国成年人平均每年至少会摄入1.1万个微塑料碎片)”可知,本段主要介绍了这项研究的发现。故选B。

【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容尤其是第一段“If you’re eating protein (蛋白质), you could be swallowing hundreds of tiny pieces of plastic each year, research finds.(研究发现,如果你吃蛋白质,你每年可能会吞下数百块小塑料)”可知,本文介绍了我们日常生活饮食可能会让我们摄入大量的微塑料,C选项“你可能在吃塑料”适合作为本文标题。故选C。

Schools need to give students all the tools they need to navigate the world when they graduate. Besides teaching the basics of reading, writing, and arithmatic, teaching about mindfullness, and mental health are important life skills for young people to have. The state of Florida agrees.
Now, public schools in Florida have been required to teach five or more hours about mental health for students in grades 6-12. This new directive was approved by the Florida Board of Education in July and is being carried out as a potential lifesaver.
The new curriculum requires students to learn about the symptoms of mental illness and where to find help if they are feeling depressed or have other issues and even teaches the adolescents how to help their friends and classmates if they see them struggling.
“We know that 50 percent of all mental illness cases begin by age 14, so we are being active in our commitment to provide our kids with the necessary tools to see them through their successes and challenges. Providing mental health instruction is another important step forward in supporting our families,” Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran said.
Florida is the third state, following New York and Virginia in 2020, to pass laws that require mental health education in schools. According to CNN, the New York law updated the health curriculum to include mental health for elementary, middle and high school students. The Virginia law required that mental health education be provided for 9th and 10th graders.
These three states in the US are taking bold steps to help youth deal with the intricacy of life as they grow from adolescents into adults. It is a confusing world they face and giving them the tools to navigate it safely is essential. Mental health is something that should be taught in schools in all the US and across the globe.
12. What can the new curriculum bring students?
A. Basic professional skills. B. The ability to use language.
C. Emotional management skills. D. Diagnosis of physical diseases.
13. What does Richard Corcoran intend to stress in paragraph 4?
A. The effect of mental illness cases.
B. The content of the health curriculum.
C. The step of mental health instruction.
D. The importance of mental health education.
14. What does the underlined word “intricacy” mean in paragraph 6?
A. Complexity. B. Purpose. C. Contribution. D. Significance.
15. Where is the text probably taken from?
A. A technology report. B. A natural science magazine.
C. An educational website. D. A government document.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国佛罗里达州及其他两个州通过立法要求学校进行心理健康教育,旨在帮助学生了解心理健康知识,识别心理问题并寻求帮助,强调了在全球范围内学校教育中加入心理健康教育的重要性。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“Besides teaching the basics of reading, writing, and arithmatic, teaching about mindfullness, and mental health are important life skills for young people to have.(除了教授阅读、写作和算术的基础知识外,教授心智健全和心理健康也是年轻人重要的生活技能)”以及第三段“The new curriculum requires students to learn about the symptoms of mental illness and where to find help if they are feeling depressed or have other issues and even teaches the adolescents how to help their friends and classmates if they see them struggling.(新课程要求学生了解精神疾病的症状,以及如果他们感到沮丧或有其他问题,在哪里可以找到帮助,甚至教青少年如何在看到朋友和同学挣扎时帮助他们)”可知,新课程要求学生学习心理健康相关知识,如精神疾病的症状及求助途径,还包括如何帮助有困难的朋友或同学,这些内容指向的是情感管理技能的培养。故选C。
13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“We know that 50 percent of all mental illness cases begin by age 14, so we are being active in our commitment to provide our kids with the necessary tools to see them through their successes and challenges. Providing mental health instruction is another important step forward in supporting our families,” Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran said.(我们知道,50%精神疾病病例始于14岁,因此我们积极致力于为我们的孩子提供必要的工具,帮助他们度过成功和挑战。提供心理健康指导是支持我们家庭的又一重要步骤,教育专员Richard Corcoran说)”可推知,他强调了早期进行心理健康教育的紧迫性及其对孩子成长的重要作用。故选D。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段“It is a confusing world they face and giving them the tools to navigate it safely is essential. (这是他们面临的一个令人困惑的世界,给他们安全导航的工具至关重要)”可知,从青少年成长为成人过程非常的复杂,青少年面临的一个令人困惑的世界。所以美国这三个州正采取大胆措施帮助青少年应对从青少年成长为成人过程中生活的复杂性。划线单词的意思为“复杂性”。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“Schools need to give students all the tools they need to navigate the world when they graduate. Besides teaching the basics of reading, writing, and arithmatic, teaching about mindfullness, and mental health are important life skills for young people to have.(学校需要在学生毕业时为他们提供驾驭世界所需的所有工具。除了教授阅读、写作和算术的基础知识外,教授心智健全和心理健康也是年轻人重要的生活技能)”以及全文可知,文章内容围绕美国几个州在学校引入心理健康教育的新政策,讨论其内容、目的和意义,属于教育范畴。所以文章最有可能出自教育网站。故选C。

47. 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。
In the classroom of Class 7 Grade 8, students were excited about an upcoming event. The school had organized a speech competition titled “Ways to Become Successful,” and many students were eager to showcase their public speaking skills. Among them was 13-year-old Zora, who, had already won two speech contests and was full of confidence that she could win again.
Zora volunteered to represent her class in the competition, and after a round of voting, she was chosen as the class representative. Although there were only seven days left until the big day, Zora felt a sense of ease about the competition. After all, she had been here before and knew what it took to win.
At home, Zora’s father congratulated her on her achievement, while her mother reminded her to take the competition seriously. Despite her parents’ advice, Zora was convinced that her past successes meant this would be a walk in the park. Her teacher also urged her to prepare diligently, but Zora only sought help once to revise her initial draft.
As the days went by, Zora did not put in the necessary effort to refine her speech. When the day of the competition arrived, she was hit with a sudden wave of panic. She couldn’t remember the content of her speech, and as she stepped onto the stage, her anxiety only grew. After delivering the opening lines, she froze, unable to continue. The supportive applause from the audience only added to her confusion, leaving no room for her to recall her prepared words.
Zora struggled through the rest of her speech, finishing it in a state of embarrassment and shame. As she walked off the stage, she saw the disappointment in her teacher’s eyes and felt the letdown from her classmates. It was a heavy burden to bear.
注意:
1. 续写词数应150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Back at home, Zora could no longer hold back her tears.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next day, Zora went to school and apologized to her class.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Back at home, Zora could no longer hold back her tears. She felt the weight of her actions and the missed opportunity deeply. Sensing her depression, her father approached her with a comforting presence. Zora told her failure to her father, after which her father gently explained that acknowledging one’s mistakes was an important part of personal growth. He emphasized that true success wasn’t about never failing, but learning from those failures. He also proposed that Zora deliver a new speech in front of her class, reflecting on the authentic journey to success.
The next day, Zora went to school and apologized to her class. She then asked her teacher and classmates if she could give another speech in her class. They responded to her with warm applause. After careful preparation, Zora delivered a heartfelt speech about the importance of hard work and perseverance. Her classmates and teacher listened carefully, and showed their support and understanding with gentle nods. Through this experience, Zora learned a valuable lesson. Success is not just about talent or past achievements; it requires continuous effort and preparation.
【解析】
【导语】本文以时间为线索展开,主要讲述了13岁的Zora已经赢得过两次演讲比赛,因此对自己再次获胜充满信心。她自愿代表班级参加比赛,并在投票中被选为班级代表。离比赛只剩下7天时,她却表现的过于轻松,认为自己知道怎样才能赢。尽管家人和老师多次提醒她认真对待比赛并付出努力,但Zora仍坚持认为以前的成功意味着一切会很顺利,只请老师帮忙修改过一次演讲稿。在比赛当天,Zora突然感到恐慌,甚至忘记了演讲的内容。上台后,她表现地很僵硬,最终在尴尬和羞愧中结束了演讲。走下舞台时,她感受到了老师和同学的失望,这给她带来沉重的负担。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“回到家里,Zora再也忍不住流下了眼泪”可知,第一段可描写Zora得到父母的安慰,以及他们建议她从这次的失败中吸取教训,并重新练习做一次演讲。
②由第二段首句内容“第二天,Zora去学校向她的同学道歉”可知,第二段可描写Zora在同学面前认真地做了新的演讲,他们给予她理解和支持,以及Zora从整个经历中获得的感悟。
2. 续写线索:回家后Zora流泪——父母安慰——父母给出建议——Zora向同学道歉——Zora重新做演讲——感悟

Growing up in a small village in Ghana, Osei Boateng watched many of his family members and neighbors struggle to access basic health care. In many regions of the country, it can take hours to get to the nearest hospital. “My grandmother was a very big part of my life,” said Boateng. “It was very hard when we lost her, and it was due to something that could have been easily prevented. That is the painful part of it.”
Feeling an urgent call to help, Boateng decided he would make it his life’s mission to bring health care to remote communities in Ghana. He started his nonprofit, OKB Hope Foundation, and in 2021, he converted a van into a mobile doctor’s office called the Hope Health Van and started bringing health care directly to those in need. A few times a week, the mobile clinic and medical team travel long distances to remote communities in Ghana and provide routine medical care for free. On each trip, Boateng’s team consists of a nurse, a physician’s assistant, a doctor, and an operation assistant. In the van, they can run basic labs like bloodwork and urinalysis as well as prescribe and provide medications.
Since its launch Boateng says the Hope Health Van has served more than 4,000Ghanaians across more than 45 rural communities who otherwise don’t have easily accessible medical care.
Boateng has big plans for the future. He hopes to expand to provide more consistent and high-quality medical care not only to those living in remote areas of Ghana but in other countries as well. He has gone all in on his OKB Hope Foundation, recently quitting his job to dedicate his time to bringing health care to his home country. But for him, the sacrifices are well worth the reward.

If you’re eating protein (蛋白质), you could be swallowing hundreds of tiny pieces of plastic each year, research finds.
A new study by researchers with the nonprofit Ocean Conservancy and the University of Toronto found microplastics — tiny particles ranging from one micrometer to a half-centimeter in size — in nearly 90 percent of protein food samples tested.
The researchers analyzed more than a dozen different types of common proteins that could wind up on the average American’s plate, including seafood, pork, beef, chicken, to fu and several plant-based meat alternatives. They estimated that an American adult could consume, on average, at least 11,000 microplastic pieces per year.
The study’s findings provide further evidence of the availability of small plastic particles — which have been discovered everywhere from Antarctic snow to inside human bodies — and how they can end up in the food we eat and the water we drink.
“While we still really don’t have any idea what the human health consequences of this are, if there are any at all, we need to take this seriously because this is a problem that’s not going away on its own, and it’s only going to get worse the more plastic we use and throwaway,” Leonard said. But Leonard and other experts cautioned against using the findings to draw final conclusions about how microplastics can dirty food and the amount of plastic that could be hiding in proteins.
The study’s sample size was not big enough and the researchers noted that there was high variability in microplastic concentrations in the samples. The researchers also only counted microplastic particles that were larger than or equal in size to 45 micrometers. “It just highlights that we need to do more research,” said Bianca Datta, a food scientist not involved in the new research.
8. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The nature of plastic particles. B. The researchers’ discovery.
C. The variety of foods on a dining table. D. The conclusion of the research.
9. What is Leonard’s attitude towards the findings?
A. Cautious. B. Critical. C. Confident. D. Concerned.
10. What is the author’s purpose of writing the last paragraph?
A. To show the limitation of the research.
B. To highlight the danger of microplastic concentrations.
C. To appeal for environmental protection.
D. To stress the urgency of the study.
11. Which of the following would be the best title?
A. Stay away from plastics B. Possible effects of food processing
C. You may be eating plastics D. A poisoned food system
D
Schools need to give students all the tools they need to navigate the world when they graduate. Besides teaching the basics of reading writing, and arithmatic, teaching about mindfullness, and mental health are important life skills for young people to have. The state of Florida agrees.
Now, public schools in Florida have been required to teach five or more hours about mental health for students in grades 6-12. This new directive was approved by the Florida Board of Education in July and is being carried out as a potential lifesaver.
The new curriculum requires students to learn about the symptoms of mental illness and where to find help if they are feeling depressed or have other issues and even teaches the adolescents how to help their friends and classmates if they see them struggling.
“We know that 50 percent of all mental illness cases begin by age 14, so we are being active in our commitment to provide our kids with the necessary tools to see them through their successes and challenges. Providing mental health instruction is another important step forward in supporting our families,” Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran said.
Florida is the third state, following New York and Virginia in 2020, to pass laws that require mental health education in schools. According to CNN, the New York law updated the health curriculum to include mental health for elementary, middle and high school students. The Virginia law required that mental health education be provided for 9th and 10th graders.
These three states in the US are taking bold steps to help youth deal with the intricacy of life as they grow from adolescents into adults. It is a confusing world they face and giving them the tools to navigate it safely is essential. Mental health is something that should be taught in schools in all the US and across the globe.
12. What can the new curriculum bring students?
A. Basic professional skills. B. The ability to use language.
C Emotional management skills. D. Diagnosis of physical diseases.
13. What does Richard Corcoran intend to stress in paragraph 4?
A. The effect of mental illness cases.
B. The content of the health curriculum.
C. The step of mental health instruction.
D. The importance of mental health education.
14. What does the underlined word “intricacy” mean in paragraph 6?
A. Complexity. B. Purpose. C. Contribution. D. Significance.
15. Where is the text probably taken from?
A. A technology report. B. A natural science magazine.
C. An educational website. D. A government document.

47. 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。
In the classroom of Class 7, Grade 8, students were excited about an upcoming event. The school had organized a speech competition titled “Ways to Become Successful,” and many students were eager to showcase their public speaking skills. Among them was 13-year-old Zora, who, had already won two speech contests and was full of confidence that she could win again.
Zora volunteered to represent her class in the competition, and after a round of voting, she was chosen as the class representative. Although there were only seven days left until the big day, Zora felt a sense of ease about the competition. After all, she had been here before and knew what it took to win.
At home, Zora’s father congratulated her on her achievement, while her mother reminded her to take the competition seriously. Despite her parents’ advice, Zora was convinced that her past successes meant this would be a walk in the park. Her teacher also urged her to prepare diligently, but Zora only sought help once to revise her initial draft.
As the days went by, Zora did not put in the necessary effort to refine her speech. When the day of the competition arrived, she was hit with a sudden wave of panic. She couldn’t remember the content of her speech, and as she stepped onto the stage, her anxiety only grew. After delivering the opening lines, she froze, unable to continue. The supportive applause from the audience only added to her confusion, leaving no room for her to recall her prepared words.
Zora struggled through the rest of her speech, finishing it in a state of embarrassment and shame. As she walked off the stage, she saw the disappointment in her teacher’s eyes and felt the letdown from her classmates. It was a heavy burden to bear.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Back at home, Zora could no longer hold back her tears.

The next day, Zora went to school and apologized to her class.
