Services are provided by addressing basic needs, conducting clinical assessments, providing street medical treatment, and providing access to appropriate services (including mental health services, substance abuse treatment, and shelter). HOME serves the youth aged 16 to 21 who are experiencing chronic (长期的) unsheltered homelessness and who have profound mental health needs and associated impairments. These vulnerable individuals struggle with securing appropriate food, clothing, and shelter due to their mental illness. In addition, they may have critical shortage in communication, and are generally highly avoidant of medical services. They are unable to live safely in the community and require specialized mental health services to secure and sustain housing. Most referrals (移交) are submitted by homeless outreach program staff members who identify individuals with severe impairments that require specialized and intensive support and engagement. The general public may initiate a referral to a homeless outreach team through the Los Angeles Homeless Outreach Portal at www. LA-HOP. org. Individuals will be assigned to a HOME team if the person meets the criteria. Homeless outreach providers should complete the form below and email it to HOME@dmh.lacounty.gov. Press coverage about HOME: ●Los Angeles Times “LA’s first street psychologist makes his sidewalk rounds, transforming homeless lives” ●KPCC-FM “How LA’s ‘Street Psychology’ Program Works To Treat People Who Are Unhoused” 1. How does the HOME program offer help? A. By conducting scientific research. B. By providing accessible medical care. C. By recommending useful websites. D. By finding hosting families. 2. Which of the following youth groups is most likely to benefit from the HOME program? A. The temporarily unsheltered. B. The well-off but troubled. C. The homeless mentally ill. D. The physically challenged. 3. What should one do to help his friend get help from the HOME program? A. Apply on the website. B. Contact local media. C. Visit its employees. D. Write a letter of reference. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了洛杉矶的无家可归者外展和移动（HOME）参与计划。 【详解】1.细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Services are provided by addressing basic needs, conducting clinical assessments, providing street medical treatment, and providing access to appropriate services (including mental health services, substance abuse treatment, and shelter).(通过满足基本需求、进行临床评估、提供街头医疗和提供适当服务(包括心理健康服务、药物滥用治疗和庇护所)来提供服务。)”可知，HOME项目提供援助的方式主要是通过满足基本需求、进行临床诊断、提供街头治疗以及合适的服务，故选B。 2.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“HOME serves the youth aged 16 to 21 who are experiencing chronic (长期的) unsheltered homelessness and who have profound mental health needs and associated impairments.(HOME为16至21岁的青少年提供服务，这些青少年长期无家可归，有严重的心理健康需求和相关障碍。)”可知，HOME项目主要援助的对象是长期处于无家可归状态、精神健康存在问题的青年。故选C。 3.细节理解题。根据第四段“The general public may initiate a referral to a homeless outreach team through the Los Angeles Homeless Outreach Portal at www.LA-HOP.org.

At just 14 years old, Heman Bekele emerged as the victor of the 2023 Young Scientist Challenge, standing out among the ten finalists with his innovative creation known as the Skin Cancer Treating Soap (SCTS). Bekele’s brilliant concept centers on the development of a soap that is not only affordable, but also has the potential to reactivate the body’s natural defenders of the skin to stop skin cancer. In Bekele’s own words, “Curing cancer, one bar of soap at a time. ”He always has endless passion for biology and technology, and the Young Scientist Challenge just provided him with the perfect platform to display his ideas. Reflecting on his inspiration, Bekele shared that his childhood played a significant role in shaping his innovative thinking. Having witnessed people work tirelessly under the sun, he couldn’t help but wonder how many were aware of the risks associated with constant sun exposure. “I wanted to make my idea not only scientifically exceptional but also accessible to a broad audience,” Bekele expressed during an interview with the media. He received invaluable guidance from Deborah Isabelle, a product engineering specialist, who connected him with other scientists to aid him in reaching his ambitious plans. During his presentation, Bekele passionately expressed his vision of turning the soap into “a symbol of hope, accessibility, and a world where skin cancer treatment is within reach for all.” Over the coming five years, Bekele longs to perfect his invention and establish a nonprofit organization devoted to distributing his innovative creation to more places including undeveloped communities, offering hope and a practical solution in the fight against skin cancer. 4. What made Bekele an instant hit? A. Starting a soap fashion. B. Overcoming skin cancer. C. Being the youngest scientist. D. Creating a soap against skin cancer. 5. What inspired Bekele to invent SCTS? A. His concern for others. B. His adventure in childhood. C. His enthusiasm for technology. D. His interest in medical knowledge. 6. What will Bekele do in the near future? A. Obtain official approval. B. Visit undeveloped areas. C. Increase the availability of the soap. D. Update the facilities of production. 7. Which of the following can best describe Bekele? A. Inspiring and modest. B. Humorous and positive. C. Creative and considerate. D. Curious and independent. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了一位14岁来自弗吉尼亚州的年轻科学家Heman Bekele，他通过创造一种抗击皮肤癌的肥皂获得了“美国顶尖年轻科学家”的称号。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“A rising star from Virginia has secured the title of “America’s Top Young Scientist” for his groundbreaking creation — a bar of soap designed to battle against skin cancer. (美国维吉尼亚州一颗冉冉升起的新星获得了“美国顶尖青年科学家”的称号，因为他的开创性发明——一种可以对抗皮肤癌的肥皂)”可知，Heman Bekele发明了一种对抗皮肤癌的肥皂，一炮而红。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“ Reflecting on his inspiration, Bekele shared that his childhood played a significant role in shaping his innovative thinking. Having witnessed people work tirelessly under the sun, he couldn’t help but wonder how many were aware of the risks associated with constant sun exposure.(在反思他的灵感时，Bekele分享了他的童年在塑造他的创新思维方面发挥了重要作用。目睹人们在阳光下不知疲倦地工作，他不禁想知道有多少人意识到持续暴露在阳光下的风险)”可知，Bekele对别人的关心激发了他发明SCTS。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“During his presentation, Bekele passionately expressed his vision of turning the soap into “a symbol of hope, accessibility, and a world where skin cancer treatment is within reach for all.”(在他的演讲中，Bekele热情地表达了他的愿景，即把这种肥皂变成“希望、可及性的象征，以及一个人人都能接受皮肤癌治疗的世界。”)”以及最后一段“Over the coming five years, Bekele longs to perfect his invention and establish a nonprofit organization devoted to distributing his innovative creation to more places including undeveloped communities, offering hope and a practical solution in the fight against skin cancer.( 在接下来的五年里，Bekele渴望完善他的发明，并建立一个非营利组织，致力于将他的创新发明分发到更多的地方，包括不发达的社区，为抗击皮肤癌提供希望和实用的解决方案)”可知，Bekele希望建立一个非营利组织，将他的创新产品分发到更多地方，包括欠发达社区，为对抗皮肤癌提供希望和实际解决方案，即增加肥皂的可获得性。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“A rising star from Virginia has secured the title of “America’s Top Young Scientist” for his groundbreaking creation — a bar of soap designed to battle against skin cancer. (美国维吉尼亚州一颗冉冉升起的新星获得了“美国顶尖青年科学家”的称号，因为他的开创性发明——一种可以对抗皮肤癌的肥皂)”以及最后一段“Over the coming five years, Bekele longs to perfect his invention and establish a nonprofit organization devoted to distributing his innovative creation to more places including undeveloped communities, offering hope and a practical solution in the fight against skin cancer.( 在接下来的五年里，Bekele渴望完善他的发明，并建立一个非营利组织，致力于将他的创新发明分发到更多的地方，包括不发达的社区，为抗击皮肤癌提供希望和实用的解决方案)”可知，文章介绍了一位14岁来自弗吉尼亚州的年轻科学家Heman Bekele，他通过创造一种抗击皮肤癌的肥皂获得了“美国顶尖年轻科学家”的称号。未来五年里，Bekele希望完善他的发明，并建立一个非营利组织，将这种创新产品分发到更多地方，包括欠发达社区，为对抗皮肤癌提供希望和实际解决方案。由此推知，他一个有创造力和体贴的人。故选C。 C AI could make it less necessary to learn foreign languages. That is good news for travelers, bad news for soulful connection. Travel has long been a motivator for study — unless people start to feel AI tools offer a good-enough service. Some are concerned that apps are turning language acquisition into a dwindling pursuit. Douglas Hofstadter, a writer, has argued that something important will disappear when people talk through machines. He describes giving a hesitant, difficult speech in Mandarin, which required a lot of work but offered a sense of achievement at the end. Who would show off taking a plane to the top of Mount Everest? Others are less worried. Most people do not move abroad or have the kind of sustained contact with a foreign culture that requires them to put in the work to become fluent. Nor do most people learn languages for the purpose of humanizing themselves or training their brains. On their holiday, they just want a beer and pizza. As AI translation becomes a more popular labour-saving tool people will divide into two groups. There will be those who want to challenge their minds, put themselves in other cultures or force their thinking into new pathways. This lot will still take on language study, often aided by technology. Others will look at learning a new language with a mix of admiration and confusion, as they might with extreme endurance (忍耐力) sports: “Good for you, if that’s your thing, but a bit painful for my taste.” But a focus on the learner alone misses the fundamentally social nature of language. It is a bit like analyzing the benefits of close relationships to heart health but overlooking the inner value of those bonds themselves. When you try to ask directions in broken Japanese or make a joke in hesitant German, you are making direct contact with someone. And when you speak a language well enough to tell a story with perfect timing or put subtle (微妙的) shading on an argument, that connection is still deeper. 8. What does the word “dwindling” mean in paragraph 2? A. Growing. B. Lasting. C. Declining. D. Challenging. 9. What is the underlined part “taking a helicopter to the top of Mount Everest” compared to? A. Using AI tools to do the translation. B. Doing the work that gives you satisfaction. C. Making effort to learn a new language. D. Studying a language aided by technology. 10. Which of the following will the “Others” in paragraph 4 agree with? A. People should stretch their minds in life. B. AI translation tools offer a good service. C. Extreme endurance sports are worth trying. D. Language learning builds deep connection. 11. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Language learning benefits learners alone. B. Language learning is of value to human health. C. We should reflect on language learning methods. D. We should adopt a new angle on language learning. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章介绍了在人工智能可以降低学习外语的必要性这一议题上，一部分人充满担心，认为这会让一些重要的东西消失，有些人则因为没有对语言的需求而不那么担心。人工智能翻译的普及同时也会将人分化成两部分，一部分人会挑战自己继续学习语言，另一部分人则会选择不再学习。文章指出不应该仅从学习者的角度看待语言学习，其本身的内在价值更值得关注。 【8题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句的上文“Travel has long been a motivator for study — unless people start to feel AI tools offer a good-enough service. (长期以来，旅行一直是学习的动力——除非人们开始觉得人工智能工具提供了足够好的服务)”可知，此处介绍人工智能工具对人们学习语言的动力的负面影响。由此推知，划线词所在句表示“一些人会担心应用程序正在把语言学习变成一种越来越少的追求”，dwindling意思应该是“越来越少的”，与declining意思一致。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Douglas Hofstadter, a writer, has argued that something important will disappear when people talk through machines. He describes giving a hesitant, difficult speech in Mandarin, which required a lot of work but offered a sense of achievement at the end. Who would show off taking a plane to the top of Mount Everest? (作家Douglas Hofstadter认为，当人们通过机器交谈时，一些重要的东西将会消失。他描述了用普通话做一次犹豫的、困难的演讲，需要做很多工作，但最后会有一种成就感。谁会炫耀自己坐飞机登上了珠穆朗玛峰呢？)”可知，Douglas Hofstadter的描述突出了学习语言伴随着的挑战自我、战胜自我的成就感，但是人们通过机器交谈的话，就无法体会这种感觉。由此可知，“坐飞机登上了珠穆朗玛峰”就好比“使用人工智能工具进行翻译”，前者缺失的是参与登山带来的成就感，后者缺失的是参与语言学习带来的成就感。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Others will look at learning a new language with a mix of admiration and confusion, as they might with extreme endurance (忍耐力) sports: “Good for you, if that’s your thing, but a bit painful for my taste.” (其他人会带着钦佩和困惑看待学习一门新语言，就像他们看待极限耐力运动一样：‘如果你喜欢的话，对你来说很好，但对我来说有点痛苦。’)”可知，这一类人会认为学习一门新语言令人钦佩，但是不适合自己，没有必要尝试。由此可知，他们会同意“人工智能翻译工具提供了很好的服务”的观点。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But a focus on the learner alone misses the fundamentally social nature of language. It is a bit like analyzing the benefits of close relationships to heart health but overlooking the inner value of those bonds themselves. When you try to ask directions in broken Japanese or make a joke in hesitant German, you are making direct contact with someone. And when you speak a language well enough to tell a story with perfect timing or put subtle (微妙的) shading on an argument, that connection is still deeper. (但是，仅仅关注学习者就忽略了语言的基本社会性质。这有点像分析亲密关系对心脏健康的好处，但忽视了这些关系本身的内在价值。当你试图用蹩脚的日语问路或用犹豫的德语讲笑话时，你是在与某人直接接触。当你的语言说得足够好，可以用完美的时机讲述一个故事，或者在一个论点上添加微妙的细微差别，这种联系就会更深。)”可知，我们不能仅关注学习者，语言本身的内在价值更值得关注，学习语言会加深我们与他人之间的联系。由此可知，我们应该从新的角度看待语言学习。故选D项。 D All human languages use vowels and consonants to express ideas. Most primates (灵长类) communicate almost using vowel-like calls, but non-human great apes, like chimpanzees, produce consonant-like sounds to varying degrees, This raises the question of where consonants came from, says Adriano Lameira at the University of Warwick. To find it out, he studied existing literature to see how common consonants are among the great apes. He found that orangutans (猩猩), which spend most of their time in the trees: produce a greater number and variety of consonant sounds than gorillas and chimpanzees living. on the ground. “Orangutans have rich sounds like kiss sounds, scrapes and clicks.” says Lameira. hey typically use these sounds while building nests or commencing with their young. Lameira thinks that living in the trees may explain that Great apes are experts at processing protected foods. Like nuts, which often requires tools. While living in trees however, orangutans must always use at least one arm to maintain stability. They have therefore developed more complex control of their lips, tongues and jaws, allowing them to use their mouths as a “fifth limb” orangutans can peel oranges just with lips, for example. This advanced motor skill enables orangutans make consonant-like sounds, argues Lameira. This could mean, that our early ancestors developed consonant sounds while hanging around in the trees, too. “ There’s a growing sense that our dependency on trees was much larger and deeper than we think,” says Lameira. The link between feeding and sounds doesn’t apply to smaller tree-living primates like monkeys, argues Lameira, because their size and tails make them more stable on branches and they eat differently “This is an interesting assumption worth testing,” says Chris Petkov at Newcastle University, though he questions some aspects. As humans aren’t tree living, there must be other reasons why consonants remain, which could be tested by characterising consonant-like sounds more systematically across species, he says. 12. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 1 refer to? A Why vowels and consonants are used B. What ideas the consonants express. C. How common the consonants are. D. Where the consonants came from 13. What fact can support Adriano Lamerica’s assumption about orangutans? A. They build nests with their young. B They are skillful in employing tools C. They gain advanced motor skill of mouths D. They show stability in controlling arms. 14. What can we infer from Adriano Lameira’s findings? A. Monkeys differ from orangutans in eating habits. B. Our ancestors depended more on trees than believed. C. Consonant sounds were made by our earliest, ancestors. D. The link between feeding and sounds applies to monkeys 15. What is Chris Petkov’s attitude to Adriano Lameira’s assumption ? A. Confident B. Cautious C. Opposed D. Puzzled 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是研究者发现大部分时间生活在树上的猩猩比生活在地面上的大猩猩和黑猩猩发出的辅音数量和种类都要多。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段的“This raises the question of where consonants came from(这就提出了辅音从何而来的问题)”和“he studied existing literature to see how common consonants are among the great apes(他研究了现存的文献，想看看类人猿的辅音有多普遍)”可知，Adriano Lameira是为了发现辅音从何而来，it指的是“辅音来自哪里”，故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“While living in trees, however, orangutans must always use at least one arm to maintain stability. They have therefore developed more complex control of their lips, tongues and jaws, allowing them to use their mouths as a “fifth limb” orangutans can peel oranges just with lips, for example.(然而，当生活在树上时，猩猩必须至少使用一只手臂来保持稳定。因此，它们已经发展出对嘴唇、舌头和下颚的更复杂的控制，使它们能够把嘴作为“第五肢”来使用，例如，猩猩只用嘴唇就能剥橙子。)”和第四段的“This advanced motor skill enables orangutans make consonant-like sounds, argues Lameira.(拉米拉认为，这种先进的运动技能使猩猩能够发出类似辅音的声音。)”可知，支持Adriano Lameira关于猩猩的假设的是他们获得了高级的嘴巴运动技能，故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段的“This could mean that our early ancestors developed consonant sounds while hanging around in the trees, too. “There’s a growing sense that our dependency on trees was much larger and deeper than we think,” says Lameira.(这可能意味着我们的早期祖先在树上闲逛时也学会了辅音。Lameira说：“人们越来越意识到，我们对树木的依赖比我们想象的要大得多，也要深得多。”)”可知，从这项发现可知，我们的祖先比人们想象的更依赖树木，故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的““This is an interesting assumption worth testing,” says Chris Petkov at Newcastle University, though he questions some aspects. As humans aren’t tree-living, there must be other reasons why consonants remain, which could be tested by characterising consonant-like sounds more systematically across species, he says.(“这是一个值得检验的有趣假设，”Newcastle大学的Chris Petkov说，尽管他对某些方面提出了质疑。他说，由于人类不是在树上生活的，所以辅音保留下来一定有其他原因，这可以通过在不同物种之间更系统地描述类似辅音的声音来验证。)”可知，从Chris Petkov的评论可知，对Adriano Lameira的假设的态度是谨慎的，故选B。 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。 The secret to stress relief: Why rest isn’t a waste of time Stress is a modern epidemic, but among all the stress management strategies we are forgetting one essential remedy (疗法) — taking time for rest. For a long time, psychologists focused almost exclusively on what went on between our ears. ___16___ That was the field of medical doctors, physiotherapists and gym instructors. Recently, however, there has been a growing realization that the body and mind are deeply connected with each other. The most recent insights have revealed that our mental health is determined to a large extent by our physical condition. Studies have shown that our brain processes “psychological” pain — such as the kind that arises out of social exclusion — the same way it does physical pain. ___17___ It’s apparent that there is no clear division between body and mind in the case of stress. You suffer more from stress when you are suffering from a flu. If you have a bad night’s sleep, everything is more stressful the next day. But good news is that you can combat it by looking after your body. ___18___ A healthy sleeping pattern also offers protection agains all kinds of psychological disorders, and a healthy diet is known to reduce stress. When you decide to do something about your stress levels, it doesn’t necessarily mean you have to turn your whole life upside down — quit your job, move to another country and so forth. ___19___ Moments of rest and relaxation ought to occupy a more significant place in our lives. These important moments should not be regarded as a kind of “breather” in between jobs but as a natural and fundamental part of our way of life. ___20___ We need to see it as crucial time that we use to build up our reserves. It is only when we fully embrace rest that we will be able to take a stand against stress and burnout. A. The body was not their responsibility. B. The first step is to take better care of your body, instead. C. In fact, you can even take an aspirin for that kind of pain. D. For example, physical exercise helps to relieve depression. E. You should ask if the health problems are caused by stress. F. They all concentrate only on anxiety, depression and as such. G. Getting enough rest is not just something we should do when we are exhausted. 【答案】16. A 17. C 18. D 19. B 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了休息对于缓解压力的重要性，并强调了身心之间的联系。 【16题详解】 上文“For a long time, psychologists focused almost exclusively on what went on between our ears.(很长一段时间以来，心理学家几乎只关注我们耳朵之间发生的事情)”提出心理学家只关注“耳朵之间发生的事情”，即“大脑里发生的事情”，A项“The body was not their responsibility.(身体不是他们的责任)”与上文语意一致，说明心理学家只关心大脑，不关心身体。同时下文“That was the field of medical doctors, physiotherapists and gym instructors.(那是医生、理疗师和健身教练的领域)”说明心理学家认为“身体”是医生、理疗师和健身教练的领域，上下文语意连贯。故选A项。 【17题详解】 上文“Studies have shown that our brain processes “psychological” pain — such as the kind that arises out of social exclusion — the same way it does physical pain.(研究表明，我们的大脑处理“心理”疼痛——比如由于社会排斥而产生的疼痛——的方式与处理身体疼痛的方式相同)”提出大脑处理“心理”疼痛的身体疼痛的方式相同，C项“In fact, you can even take an aspirin for that kind of pain.(事实上，你甚至可以吃一片阿司匹林来缓解这种疼痛)”承接上文，指出吃阿司匹林这种缓解身体疼痛的方式也可以用来缓解“心理”疼痛，与上文语意一致，前后文语意连贯。故选C项。 【18题详解】 下文“A healthy sleeping pattern also offers protection agains all kinds of psychological disorders, and a healthy diet is known to reduce stress.(健康的睡眠模式也可以预防各种心理障碍，健康的饮食可以减轻压力)”中例举了几种预防各种心理障碍和缓解压力的方式，结合句中“also”可知，上下文之间是并列关系，说明上文中会提到一种方式。D项“For example, physical exercise helps to relieve depression.(例如，体育锻炼有助于缓解抑郁)”提出体育锻炼有助于缓解抑郁，与下文构成并列关系。同时这些举例照应前文“But good news is that you can combat it by looking after your body.(但好消息是，你可以通过照顾好自己的身体来对抗它)”，是对其中如何“照顾好自己的身体”的举例说明。故选D项。 【19题详解】 上文“When you decide to do something about your stress levels, it doesn’t necessarily mean you have to turn your whole life upside down — quit your job, move to another country and so forth.(当你决定对你的压力水平做些什么时，这并不意味着你必须彻底改变你的生活——辞职，搬到另一个国家等等)”否定了一些极端的做法，B项“The first step is to take better care of your body, instead.(相反，第一步是更好地照顾你的身体)”与上文构成转折关系，给出正确的建议，下文“Moments of rest and relaxation ought to occupy a more significant place in our lives.(休息和放松的时刻应该在我们的生活中占据更重要的位置)”承接B项，说明如何更好地照顾你的身体，上下文语意连贯。故选B项。 【20题详解】 根据指代关系和下文“We need to see it as crucial time that we use to build up our reserves.(我们需要将其视为建立储备的时间)”中指示代词“it”可推知，设空句应出现其指代对象，G项“Getting enough rest is not just something we should do when we are exhausted.(得到足够的休息不仅仅是我们在疲惫的时候应该做的事情)”中“Getting enough rest”即其指代对象，是下文所说的“建立储备的时间”，上下文语意连贯。故选G项。 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题;每小题1 分，满分15分) 阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Years ago, Ashley delivered a speech at her high school graduation.

According to a 2022 survey, the rate of myopia among students is high, with 35.6% for elementary school students, 71.1%for junior high school students, and a staggering 80.5%for senior high school students. This data indicates that myopia has become a serious issue, likely due to the increasing usage of electronic devices and less time spent outdoors. To prevent further damage, students should reduce electronic device usage and spend more time outdoors.

He always called me the nickname “Germy”, which meant “dirty”, instead of my real name “Jamie”. Besides, he was known as a trouble-maker in school. So when the head teacher Mr. Smith asked Del to come to his office, I naturally thought that Del had done something mean to someone. Through the window, I caught sight of a smaller boy crying. Del seemed unhappy, too. He did not return to class that day. All of us were discussing what had happened to him. What else could such an annoying boy do? “He must have hit the boy and was sent home,” I whispered to my friends. Their eyes widened. It felt good to see them so interested in what I said. The next morning, the whole school was talking about Del being expelled(开除) for beating up a kid. I was surprised that my assumptions were passed on so quickly. So when Del walked into the classroom, all the kids were shocked. The kids next to him shift ed their desks away. “What’s your problem?” Del asked. “I don’t want you to attack me,” one kid said. Some laughed. “Yeah, I might,” said Del. I could tell he was joking, but many kids thought he admitted he did beat up someone. During recess(课间休息), Del tried to join the kickball game. “Neither team wants you,” one of the players said. “Why?” Del asked, looking confused. “I always play with you guys.” They ignored him and went on playing. Del sat by himself while the rest of the school enjoyed their recess away from him. Del looked lonely and sad, much different from before. I started to feel sorry for him. Later that day, I learned what really happened. The kid was Del’s little brother and he was crying because their mother fell ill and was sent to hospital. I felt even sorrier for what I said before. I started a rumor(谣言). 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。 At recess the next day, I saw Del sitting alone watching the kickball game. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Now that Del had forgiven me, I decided to do more before the recess was over. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】At recess the next day, I saw Del sitting alone watching the kickball game. Not wanting him to feel left out, I walked over and sat down beside him. “Hey Germy,” he said. “My name is Jamie.” I replied. I wanted to apologize for starting that rumor about him, but I was too ashamed to say it out loudly. “Del, do you want to play kickball with us?” I asked instead. He looked surprised but happy at the same time. After a moment of silence, he nodded his head. Now that Del had forgiven me, I decided to do more before the recess was over. I stood up and shouted to the other kids, “Guys, come here! Let’s play kickball together! ” Some of them hesitated, but they eventually joined us. Del was smiling again and so were we. As we played, I realized that Del wasn’t as bad as I thought he was. He was just a normal kid who wanted to have fun and be accepted by others. From then on, whenever someone tried to start a rumor about him, I would stand up for him and tell them the truth about Del. We became good friends, and I learned an important lesson about judging people based on rumors. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者不喜欢一个名叫Del的同学，因为那同学总是称呼作者外号，并且是有名的捣蛋鬼。一次校长把Del叫去办公室，作者透过窗户看到另一个小男孩在哭泣，Del也不高兴，作者认为Del打了人，要被学校开除了，就把自己想象的结果传播给同学，同学们信以为真。Del回到学校后，大家都不和他玩，他很孤独。后来作者知道了真相，校长把Del叫去办公室，是因为他妈妈病了，那个哭泣的小孩是Del的弟弟。作者知道自己传播了谣言，感觉对不起Del，作者主动和Del打招呼，带动其他同学和Del一起玩。他们最终成为好朋友的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天课间休息时，我看见Del独自坐着看踢球比赛。”可知，第一段可描写作者想要主动和Del打招呼，和Del一起玩。 ②由第二段首句内容“既然Del已经原谅了我，我决定在课间休息结束前做更多的事情。”可知，第二段可描写作者带动其他同学和Del一起玩，通过交流他们成为好朋友。 2.续写线索：走过去——打招呼——道歉——请求一起玩——带动其他同学一起玩——成为好朋友——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 1.说：say/put it 2.道歉：apologize/say sorry 3.接受：accept/recognize 4.加入：join/take part 情绪类 1. 惊讶的：surprised/astonished 2. 快乐的：happy/pleased/delighted 【点睛】 [高分句型1].

Services are provided by addressing basic needs, conducting clinical assessments, providing street medical treatment, and providing access to appropriate services (including mental health services, substance abuse treatment, and shelter). HOME serves the youth aged 16 to 21 who are experiencing chronic (长期的) unsheltered homelessness and who have profound mental health needs and associated impairments. These vulnerable individuals struggle with securing appropriate food, clothing, and shelter due to their mental illness. In addition, they may have critical shortage in communication, and are generally highly avoidant of medical services. They are unable to live safely in the community and require specialized mental health services to secure and sustain housing. Most referrals (移交) are submitted by homeless outreach program staff members who identify individuals with severe impairments that require specialized and intensive support and engagement. The general public may initiate a referral to a homeless outreach team through the Los Angeles Homeless Outreach Portal at www LA-HOP. org. Individuals will be assigned to a HOME team if the person meets the criteria. Homeless outreach providers should complete the form below and email it to HOME@dmh.lacounty.gov. Press coverage about HOME: ●Los Angeles Times “LA’s first street psychologist makes his sidewalk rounds, transforming homeless lives” ●KPCC-FM “How LA’s ‘Street Psychology’ Program Works To Treat People Who Are Unhoused” 1. How does the HOME program offer help? A. By conducting scientific research. B. By providing accessible medical care. C. By recommending useful websites. D. By finding hosting families. 2 Which of the following youth groups is most likely to benefit from the HOME program? A. The temporarily unsheltered. B. The well-off but troubled. C.

Visit its employees. D. Write a letter of reference. B A rising star from Virginia has secured the title of “America’s Top Young Scientist” for his groundbreaking creation — a bar of soap designed to battle against skin cancer. At just 14 years old, Heman Bekele emerged as the victor of the 2023 Young Scientist Challenge, standing out among the ten finalists with his innovative creation known as the Skin Cancer Treating Soap (SCTS). Bekele’s brilliant concept centers on the development of a soap that is not only affordable, but also has the potential to reactivate the body’s natural defenders of the skin to stop skin cancer. In Bekele’s own words, “Curing cancer, one bar of soap at a time. ”He always has endless passion for biology and technology, and the Young Scientist Challenge just provided him with the perfect platform to display his ideas. Reflecting on his inspiration, Bekele shared that his childhood played a significant role in shaping his innovative thinking. Having witnessed people work tirelessly under the sun, he couldn’t help but wonder how many were aware of the risks associated with constant sun exposure. “I wanted to make my idea not only scientifically exceptional but also accessible to a broad audience,” Bekele expressed during an interview with the media. He received invaluable guidance from Deborah Isabelle, a product engineering specialist, who connected him with other scientists to aid him in reaching his ambitious plans. During his presentation, Bekele passionately expressed his vision of turning the soap into “a symbol of hope, accessibility, and a world where skin cancer treatment is within reach for all.” Over the coming five years, Bekele longs to perfect his invention and establish a nonprofit organization devoted to distributing his innovative creation to more places including undeveloped communities, offering hope and a practical solution in the fight against skin cancer. 4. What made Bekele an instant hit? A. Starting a soap fashion. B. Overcoming skin cancer. C. Being the youngest scientist. D. Creating a soap against skin cancer. 5. What inspired Bekele to invent SCTS? A. His concern for others. B. His adventure in childhood. C. His enthusiasm for technology. D. His interest in medical knowledge. 6. What will Bekele do in the near future? A. Obtain official approval. B. Visit undeveloped areas. C. Increase the availability of the soap. D. Update the facilities of production. 7. Which of the following can best describe Bekele? A. Inspiring and modest. B. Humorous and positive. C. Creative and considerate. D. Curious and independent. C AI could make it less necessary to learn foreign languages. That is good news for travelers, bad news for soulful connection. Travel has long been a motivator for study — unless people start to feel AI tools offer a good-enough service. Some are concerned that apps are turning language acquisition into a dwindling pursuit. Douglas Hofstadter, a writer, has argued that something important will disappear when people talk through machines. He describes giving a hesitant, difficult speech in Mandarin, which required a lot of work but offered a sense of achievement at the end. Who would show off taking a plane to the top of Mount Everest? Others are less worried. Most people do not move abroad or have the kind of sustained contact with a foreign culture that requires them to put in the work to become fluent. Nor do most people learn languages for the purpose of humanizing themselves or training their brains. On their holiday, they just want a beer and pizza. As AI translation becomes a more popular labour-saving tool, people will divide into two groups. There will be those who want to challenge their minds, put themselves in other cultures or force their thinking into new pathways. This lot will still take on language study, often aided by technology. Others will look at learning a new language with a mix of admiration and confusion, as they might with extreme endurance (忍耐力) sports: “Good for you, if that’s your thing, but a bit painful for my taste.” But a focus on the learner alone misses the fundamentally social nature of language. It is a bit like analyzing the benefits of close relationships to heart health but overlooking the inner value of those bonds themselves. When you try to ask directions in broken Japanese or make a joke in hesitant German, you are making direct contact with someone. And when you speak a language well enough to tell a story with perfect timing or put subtle (微妙的) shading on an argument, that connection is still deeper. 8.

Language learning is of value to human health. C. We should reflect on language learning methods. D. We should adopt a new angle on language learning. D All human languages use vowels and consonants to express ideas. Most primates (灵长类) communicate almost using vowel-like calls, but non-human great apes, like chimpanzees, produce consonant-like sounds to varying degrees, This raises the question of where consonants came from, says Adriano Lameira at the University of Warwick. To find it out, he studied existing literature to see how common consonants are among the great apes. He found that orangutans (猩猩), which spend most of their time in the trees: produce a greater number and variety of consonant sounds than gorillas and chimpanzees living. on the ground. “Orangutans have rich sounds like kiss sounds, scrapes and clicks.” says Lameira. hey typically use these sounds while building nests or commencing with their young. Lameira thinks that living in the trees may explain that Great apes are experts at processing protected foods. Like nuts, which often requires tools. While living in trees however, orangutans must always use at least one arm to maintain stability. They have therefore developed more complex control of their lips, tongues and jaws, allowing them to use their mouths as a “fifth limb” orangutans can peel oranges just with lips, for example. This advanced motor skill enables orangutans make consonant-like sounds, argues Lameira. This could mean, that our early ancestors developed consonant sounds while hanging around in the trees, too. “ There’s a growing sense that our dependency on trees was much larger and deeper than we think,” says Lameira. The link between feeding and sounds doesn’t apply to smaller tree-living primates like monkeys, argues Lameira, because their size and tails make them more stable on branches and they eat differently “This is an interesting assumption worth testing,” says Chris Petkov at Newcastle University, though he questions some aspects. As humans aren’t tree living, there must be other reasons why consonants remain, which could be tested by characterising consonant-like sounds more systematically across species, he says. 12. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. Why vowels and consonants are used B. What ideas the consonants express. C. How common the consonants are. D. Where the consonants came from 13. What fact can support Adriano Lamerica’s assumption about orangutans? A. They build nests with their young. B. They are skillful in employing tools C. They gain advanced motor skill of mouths D. They show stability in controlling arms. 14. What can we infer from Adriano Lameira’s findings? A. Monkeys differ from orangutans in eating habits. B. Our ancestors depended more on trees than believed. C. Consonant sounds were made by our earliest, ancestors. D. The link between feeding and sounds applies to monkeys 15. What is Chris Petkov’s attitude to Adriano Lameira’s assumption ? A. Confident B. Cautious C. Opposed D.

For a long time, psychologists focused almost exclusively on what went on between our ears. ___16___ That was the field of medical doctors, physiotherapists and gym instructors.

But good news is that you can combat it by looking after your body. ___18___ A healthy sleeping pattern also offers protection agains all kinds of psychological disorders, and a healthy diet is known to reduce stress. When you decide to do something about your stress levels, it doesn’t necessarily mean you have to turn your whole life upside down — quit your job, move to another country and so forth. ___19___ Moments of rest and relaxation ought to occupy a more significant place in our lives. These important moments should not be regarded as a kind of “breather” in between jobs but as a natural and fundamental part of our way of life. ___20___ We need to see it as crucial time that we use to build up our reserves.

He always called me the nickname “Germy”, which meant “dirty”, instead of my real name “Jamie”. Besides, he was known as a trouble-maker in school. So when the head teacher Mr. Smith asked Del to come to his office, I naturally thought that Del had done something mean to someone. Through the window, I caught sight of a smaller boy crying. Del seemed unhappy, too. He did not return to class that day. All of us were discussing what had happened to him. What else could such an annoying boy do? “He must have hit the boy and was sent home,” I whispered to my friends. Their eyes widened. It felt good to see them so interested in what I said. The next morning, the whole school was talking about Del being expelled(开除) for beating up a kid. I was surprised that my assumptions were passed on so quickly. So when Del walked into the classroom, all the kids were shocked. The kids next to him shift ed their desks away. “What’s your problem?” Del asked. “I don’t want you to attack me,” one kid said. Some laughed. “Yeah, I might,” said Del. I could tell he was joking, but many kids thought he admitted he did beat up someone. During recess(课间休息), Del tried to join the kickball game. “Neither team wants you,” one of the players said. “Why?” Del asked, looking confused. “I always play with you guys.” They ignored him and went on playing. Del sat by himself while the rest of the school enjoyed their recess away from him. Del looked lonely and sad, much different from before. I started to feel sorry for him. Later that day, I learned what really happened. The kid was Del’s little brother and he was crying because their mother fell ill and was sent to hospital. I felt even sorrier for what I said before. I started a rumor(谣言). 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。 At recess the next day, I saw Del sitting alone watching the kickball game. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Now that Del had forgiven me, I decided to do more before the recess was over. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
