When we think of pioneering organizations in technology, Apple and OpenAI often dominate the conversation. However, Transport for London (TfL), managing the London Underground, also does remarkable work.
In an innovative move, TfL transformed Willesden Green, a station in North West London, into a “smart” station by integrating AI image recognition technology with existing CCTV systems. The upgraded cameras could then intelligently analyze video to monitor activities within the station, similar to human observation but with greater efficiency.
This cutting-edge technology, relatively new yet rapidly developing, enhances the operational capabilities of the Tube’s staff. For instance, the AI system was programmed to detect individuals who may need immediate assistance, such as those who have fallen. Once detected, a warning would be sent to station staff via iPads, enabling them to quickly provide the necessary help.
The system also addressed safety concerns by identifying passengers standing dangerously close to the platform edge and flagging them up to staff, leading to intervention to prevent potential accidents. Moreover, the AI was capable of recognizing prohibited items like knives and guns, and behaviors such as ticket avoidance by jumping over ticket barriers.
One of the more advanced features of this AI system was its ability to identify “aggressive (攻击性的) behavior”, a challenging task given the subjective nature of visual signals. TfL tackled this by setting a warning for when an individual raises both arms — a movement often linked with aggression or trouble. This feature not only aids in spotting potential threats but also serves as a quiet emergency signal for staff who might feel threatened and are unable to call for help conventionally.
Despite its benefits, the use of AI in public monitoring is not without its debates, especially concerning privacy and the potential for misuse. However, with appropriate rules, the potential of AI to enhance productivity, security, and efficiency in public transport systems like the London Underground is vast.
4. What makes Transport for London a pioneer in technology?
A. Discontinuation of CCTV systems. B. Effectiveness of human observation.
C. Cooperation with OpenAI company. D. Use of AI for smart camera systems.
5. What do the underlined words “flagging them up” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Assisting them. B. Avoiding them.
C. Highlighting them. D. Offering them flags.
6. How does this technology empower station staff?
A. By punishing passengers’ misbehavior. B. By ensuring a secure working environment.
C. By minimizing real-time monitoring needs. D. By detecting potentially collapsing platforms.
7. Which of the following best describes this technology?
A. Ineffective. B. Transformative C. Short-lived. D. Nonessential.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. B

【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“One of the more advanced features of this AI system was its ability to identify “aggressive (攻击性的) behavior”, a challenging task given the subjective nature of visual signals. TfL tackled this by setting a warning for when an individual raises both arms—a movement often linked with aggression or trouble. This feature not only aids in spotting potential threats but also serves as a quiet emergency signal for staff who might feel threatened and are unable to call for help conventionally.(这个人工智能系统的一个更高级的功能是它能够识别“攻击行为”,考虑到视觉信号的主观性,这是一项具有挑战性的任务。伦敦交通局解决这个问题的方法是,当一个人举起双臂时,就会发出警告——这一动作通常与攻击性或麻烦有关。这个功能不仅有助于发现潜在的威胁,而且还可以作为一个安静的紧急信号,为那些可能感到受到威胁而无法常规呼叫帮助的员工提供帮助)”可知,这项AI技术帮助识别潜在威胁、监测乘客安全以及识别危险行为,从而使车站工作人员能够更迅速有效地采取行动,保障他们的工作环境更加安全。故选B项。

A recent study from the University of Guelph in Canada has revealed a surprising discovery about common eastern bumblebees (大黄蜂): These insects can survive underwater for up to a week. This finding, published in the journal Biology Letters, came about due to an experimental error when researchers placed hibernating (冬眠的) queen bumblebees in water and found them alive days later. The discovery has impressed scientists. particularly because bumblebees are land-based creatures not typically associated with water environments.
Nigel Raine, a professor in the school of environmental sciences at the university and the study’s lead author, expressed his astonishment at the results. To further explore this phenomenon, Raine and his team conducted an experiment involving 143 hibernating queen bumblebees. They discovered that those placed underwater for up to seven days had similar survival rates to those not, indicating that the bees’ ability to survive such conditions may be more common than previously thought.
The research underlines the strength of bumblebees during their hibernation period. a critical phase in their life cycle that has remained largely unexplored. Queen bumblebees typically hibernate alone in small holes during the cold months, which are believed to protect them from flooding. However, this study reveals that these bees possess an unexpected adaptation, allowing them to survive even in flooded conditions.
Given these findings, one possible explanation for their survival is diapause, a state of suspended growth and reproduction characterized by reduced oxygen intake. During this state. bumblebees may close their spiracles (气孔) to prevent water from entering their bodies, and they might also breathe through their skin. This energy-saving mode is likely a key factor in their ability to survive beneath the water.
Raine emphasized the importance of understanding these mechanisms, as it could have significant implications for the study of wild insects that help with plant reproduction, which are crucial for food security and ecosystem health, His team’s research will aim to determine whether hibernating queens can survive even longer periods underwater and if similar strength exists in other bee species.
8. What do we know about the finding?
A. It matched prior beliefs. B. It concerned sea insects.
C It was fully anticipated. D. It was made by accident.
9. What can be inferred about bumblebees from paragraph 3?
A. They hibernate in groups for protection. B. They are always protected from flooding.
C. They have a hidden adaptation mechanism. D. They reproduce better in flooded conditions.
10. What may Nigel Raine do in the future?
A. Secure research patents. B. Prioritize dietary security.
C. Conduct further research. D. Raise ecological awareness.
11. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Bumblebee Reproductive Habits B. Bumblebee Hibernation Patterns
C. Scientists’ Experimental Methods D. Bumblebee Survival Underwater
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。一项研究发现,东部大黄蜂可以在水下生存长达一周,这种适应能力在以往未被发现。研究表明。大黄蜂在冬眠期间可能通过关闭气孔和减缓新陈代谢来实现这一生存技巧,这一发现对研究野生昆虫的生存机制具有重要意义。
8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“This finding, published in the journal Biology Letters, came about due to an experimental error when researchers placed hibernating (冬眠的) queen bumblebees in water and found them alive days later. The discovery has impressed scientists. particularly because bumblebees are land-based creatures not typically associated with water environments.(这一发现发表在《生物学快报》杂志上,是由于一个实验错误造成的,当时研究人员将冬眠的大黄蜂皇后放在水中,几天后发现它们还活着。这一发现给科学家们留下了深刻印象。特别是因为大黄蜂是陆生生物,通常与水环境无关)”可知,研究人员在一次实验错误中发现冬眠中的大黄蜂能够在水下生存数天。这说明这个发现是偶然的,而非预先计划的。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“However, this study reveals that these bees possess an unexpected adaptation, allowing them to survive even in flooded conditions.(然而,这项研究揭示了这些蜜蜂具有意想不到的适应性,使它们即使在洪水条件下也能生存)”可知,研究发现大黄蜂在水下能够生存,这表明它们其备一种未被发现的适应机制,这一机制帮助它们在洪水等极端条件下生存。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Raine emphasized the importance of understanding these mechanisms, as it could have significant implications for the study of wild insects that help with plant reproduction, which are crucial for food security and ecosystem health, His team’s research will aim to determine whether hibernating queens can survive even longer periods underwater and if similar strength exists in other bee species.(Raine强调了理解这些机制的重要性,因为它可能对帮助植物繁殖的野生昆虫的研究具有重要意义,这对粮食安全和生态系统健康至关重要。他的团队的研究将旨在确定冬眠的蜂王是否可以在水下存活更长的时间,以及其他蜜蜂物种是否存在类似的力量)”可知,Nigel Raine强调了理解蜜蜂在水下存活机制的重要性,所以他将继续进行研究。故选C项。
【11题详解】

When Celia Barberena retired in 2012 after a long career in higher education, she faced a new challenge: how to spend her retirement. While some view retirement as a time to relax and enjoy life without pressure, Barberena wanted to engage in something meaningful. At 67, she decided that volunteering would be her new focus.
Barberena believes that volunteering helps keep her mind sharp, and recent research backs her up. A study presented at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference indicated that volunteering is connected with better scores on cognitive (认知) function tests. Volunteers are vital to communities, and many organizations rely on their contributions. Donna McCullough, Chief Mission and Field Operations Officer at the Alzheimer’s Association, hopes these findings will inspire people to volunteer not just for community but also for potential brain health benefits.
This research stands out because it included a diverse population of nearly 2,500 participants who varied in race. background, and education levels. Previous studies have found positive links between volunteering and cognitive function; however, when it comes to the new research, it found that those who volunteered performed better on tests of planning, attention focusing, task prioritization, and memory recall, regardless of their age, gender, education, or income.
Now 75, Barberena stays busy with various volunteer roles. She believes that volunteering exercises her memory and reasoning skills. Additionally, she notes that retirement can lead to isolation (孤独), and the resulting loneliness or anxiety can negatively impact cognition, making social engagement even more crucial.
Volunteering has provided Barberena with a sense of purpose and a network of friends, all of which are invaluable to her mental health and overall quality of life. Experts suggest that the positive effects of volunteering create a beneficial cycle that can help reduce depression and loneliness. Even with physical limitations, many volunteering opportunities are available online, making it accessible to almost everyone. The key is to find an activity that is enjoyable and personally rewarding, allowing individuals to stay engaged and mentally active in their later years.
12. Why did Barberena turn to volunteering?
A. To pursue a purposeful activity. B. To enjoy a stress-free retirement.
C. To avoid additional responsibilities. D. To confirm recent research findings
13. What makes the new research unique?
A. Its narrow focus. B. Its mixed sample.
C. Its high accuracy. D. Its small selection.
14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Berberena’s gains from volunteering. B. Barberena’s motivation for retirement.
C. Barberena’s challenges in volunteering. D. Barberena’s hobbies outside volunteering.
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Volunteering primarily benefits physical health.
B. Volunteering should be satisfying and meaningful.
C. Online volunteering is suited for skilled professionals.
D. Only in-person volunteering offers a sense of purpose.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Celia Barberena在退休后通过志愿服务保持认知功能,并引用研究表明志愿服务对大脑健康和心理健康有积极影响。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Barberena wanted to engage in something meaningful. At 67, she decided that volunteering would be her new focus. ”(Barberena想从事一些有意义的事情。67岁时,她决定把志愿服务作为自己的新重点。)Barberena在退休后希望从事有意义的事情,因此她选择了志愿服务。她认为这能帮助她保持头脑清晰并提供一种目的感。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“This research stands out because it included a diverse population of nearly 2,500 participants who varied in race, background, and education levels. ”(这项研究之所以引人注目,是因为它包括了近2500名不同种族、背景和教育水平的参与者。)这项研究的独特之处在于它包含了种族、背景和教育水平各异的多样化样本。故选B项。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Now 75, Barberena stays busy with various volunteer roles. She believes that volunteering exercises her memory and reasoning skills. Additionally, she notes that retirement can lead to isolation (孤独), and the resulting loneliness or anxiety can negatively impact cognition, making social engagement even more crucial.”(现年75岁的Barberena仍然忙于各种志愿者角色。她认为志愿活动锻炼了她的记忆力和推理能力。此外,她指出,退休会导致孤立,由此产生的孤独或焦虑会对认知产生负面影响,使社会参与变得更加重要。)可知,本段主要讨论了Barberena通过志愿服务在记忆和推理能力方面的收获。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The key is to find an activity that is enjoyable and personally rewarding, allowing individuals to stay engaged and mentally active in their later years.”(关键是要找到一项令人愉快且对个人有益的活动,让个人在晚年保持投入和精神活跃。) 可知,从最后一段推理出志愿服务应该是令人满意和有意义的。故选B项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了汉服在美国的复兴及其文化意义,尤其关注了如纽约汉服协会这样的组织在推广和保护这一传统文化中所扮演的重要角色。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:汉服是中国汉族一种传统服装,有近4000年的历史,近年来在美国重新流行起来。本句已有谓语动词has seen,设空处为非谓语动词作后置定语修饰clothing,clothing与动词wear之间为逻辑上的被动关系,用过去分词表被动。故填worn。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这种重新燃起的兴趣主要是由海外汉服俱乐部推动的,它将人们与中国文化联系在一起,同时鼓励全球对这种传统服装的欣赏。while引导时间状语从句,完整结构是“while the renewed interest is encouraging global appreciation for this traditional clothing.”当从句的主语和主句相同,且谓语动词是be动词时,主语和谓语可省略。故填encouraging。
【38题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:在美国,像Ming Liang领导的纽约汉服社这样的汉服俱乐部,在促进和保护这一文化传统方面发挥着至关重要的作用,是遍布美国的大型汉服俱乐部网络的一部分,在不同的州有十几个俱乐部,它们独立运作,但保持定期联系。在非限制性定语从句中作谓语,此处描述客观事实,用一般现在时,主语which代指先行词the New York Hanfu Corporation,为第三人称单数。故填plays。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意:在美国,像Ming Liang领导的纽约汉服社这样的汉服俱乐部,在促进和保护这一文化传统方面发挥着至关重要的作用,是遍布美国的大型汉服俱乐部网络的一部分,在不同的州有十几个俱乐部,它们独立运作,但保持定期联系。空处修饰动词“operate”,需用副词independently,表示“独立地”运作。故填independently。
【40题详解】
考查主语从句。句意:Ming的组织对社区的贡献不仅仅是一个穿汉服的机会。空处引导主语从句,从句中缺少宾语,指物,用what引导,位于句首,首字母应大写。故填What。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意:该组织拥有大约300名爱好者,每周提供活动和文化活动。空处应填名词作with宾语,enthusiast意为“爱好者”,为可数名词,根据three hundred可知,用复数形式。故填enthusiasts。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意:此外,它还建立了一个深入讨论中国哲学和文化的场所。venue为可数名词,句中用的单数,根据句意表泛指,需用不定冠词修饰,venue为辅音音素开头。故填a。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:随着汉服俱乐部的扩大,其重点是吸引下一代。此处是固定搭配:emphasis on或者emphasis upon意为“强调,重视”。故填on或者upon。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:Ming的组织定期举办亲子活动,向孩子们宣传汉服的文化意义。本句已有谓语动词hosts,所以educate用非谓语形式,根据句意,表目的,用不定式作目的状语。故填to educate.
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意:Ming的组织积极追求的目标包括保护汉服传统,作为文化桥梁,连接不同的社区,尽管面临挑战,促进全球对中国遗产的欣赏。此处serving,linking以及promoting为并列关系,应该用and连接。故填and。

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 my childhood, influenced by my parents and friends. I was encouraged to try various creative activities. Of course, I didn’t enjoy all of them equally, whether it was my first attempt or after repeated efforts. However, life has a way of leading us to unexpected passions. You never know when a creative pursuit might change your life.
The name of this activity is “painting”. About ten years ago, I didn’t really see the appeal of sitting in front of a canvas (画布) for hours, trying to recreate scenes or images in my mind. The idea of mixing colors and repeatedly adjusting brushes felt tiresome to me. In fact, I used to think of painting as some sort of “coloring inside the lines” activity that young kids enjoyed, but it was much more difficult because there was no outline to guide you.
However, all that changed when I visited my grandparents during a winter break. My grandmother, an enthusiastic painter, gently persuaded me to join her in her art studio to try my hand at painting. She encouraged me to simply express myself through colors and brushes. Hesitant but curious, I agreed and sat down with her, ready to paint. Before handing me the brushes, she showed me how to mix the colors and create different shades, making the process seem more approachable.
Learning to paint, especially for a beginner like me, can be a difficult task. The act of holding a brush is simple, but creating something meaningful on the canvas is challenging. That’s why it’s called painting, not finishing. But with practice and patience, it becomes more enjoyable and less frightening over time. Patience is crucial in painting. It takes time to find the right combination of colors and to let the image in your mind slowly take form on the canvas.
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。

Word came that a painting competition would be held in our school.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】My grandmother had to repeatedly remind me to be patient.I often grew frustrated when the colors didn’t mix as I had hoped, or when my brush movements felt awkward and unsteady. She encouraged me to take a deep breath and slow down to appreciate the process rather than rush toward the result, With her gentle guidance, I began to understand that patience was not just about waiting for a masterpiece to appear. but about embracing each step of the journey and learning from every movement. As I gradually let go of my impatience. I started to immerse myself more fully in the art, discovering a deeper sense of satisfaction in the act of creating.
Word came that a painting competition would be held in our school. My grandmother encouraged me to participate. but I was hesitant at first. unsure if my skills were good enough. Despite my doubts. I decided to challenge myself and enter the competition. I spent weeks preparing, carefully choosing my subject and practicing every day. As I worked. I remembered my grandmother’s lessons on patience, and I allowed myself the time to improve without rushing. To my surprise, not only did I enjoy the process, but my hard work paid off—I ended up winning a prize. This experience boosted my confidence and deepened my love for painting, strengthening the belief that patience truly is a virtue in all aspects of life.

If you’re looking to enhance your fitness journey, here are some must-reads.
The One-Minute Workout by Martin Gibala
For many of us, the problem is not to improve a workout, but to find time to exercise at all. Gibala’s eight fundamental interval workouts and four micro-workouts can be used as an alternative to quickly increase strength and endurance in hardly any time! It’s considered to be one of the best fitness books for beginners!
The Champion’s Mind by Jim Afremow
In his book, sports psychologist Jim Afremow. PhD, talks about how to stick to goals and keep yourself challenged over time. Though written with athletes in mind. this book would inspire anyone to approach their long-term goals.
How Bad Do You Want It by Matt Fitzgerald
This book is a great look into the attitude it takes to truly push yourself to those ultimate limits. I’ve had many runners who recommend this book themselves when I ask for favorites. I think it’s just a book that helps you figure out how to dig deep and what’s happening when you feel like stopping.
Becoming a Supple Leopard by Glen Cordoza
The book features hundreds of step-by-step photos for popular exercises like squats and kettlebell swings pointing out common mistakes. It’s a top resource for staying healthy and injury-free!

When we think of pioneering organizations in technology, Apple and OpenAI often dominate the conversation. However, Transport for London (TfL), managing the London Underground, also does remarkable work.
In an innovative move, TfL transformed Willesden Green, a station in North West London, into a “smart” station by integrating AI image recognition technology with existing CCTV systems. The upgraded cameras could then intelligently analyze video to monitor activities within the station, similar to human observation but with greater efficiency.
This cutting-edge technology, relatively new yet rapidly developing, enhances the operational capabilities of the Tube’s staff. For instance, the AI system was programmed to detect individuals who may need immediate assistance, such as those who have fallen. Once detected, a warning would be sent to station staff via iPads, enabling them to quickly provide the necessary help.
The system also addressed safety concerns by identifying passengers standing dangerously close to the platform edge and flagging them up to staff, leading to intervention to prevent potential accidents. Moreover, the AI was capable of recognizing prohibited items like knives and guns, and behaviors such as ticket avoidance by jumping over ticket barriers.
One of the more advanced features of this AI system was its ability to identify “aggressive (攻击性的) behavior”, a challenging task given the subjective nature of visual signals. TfL tackled this by setting a warning for when an individual raises both arms — a movement often linked with aggression or trouble. This feature not only aids in spotting potential threats but also serves as a quiet emergency signal for staff who might feel threatened and are unable to call for help conventionally.
Despite its benefits, the use of AI in public monitoring is not without its debates, especially concerning privacy and the potential for misuse. However, with appropriate rules, the potential of AI to enhance productivity, security, and efficiency in public transport systems like the London Underground is vast.
4. What makes Transport for London a pioneer in technology?
A. Discontinuation of CCTV systems. B. Effectiveness of human observation.
C. Cooperation with OpenAI company. D. Use of AI for smart camera systems.
5. What do the underlined words “flagging them up” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Assisting them. B. Avoiding them.
C. Highlighting them. D. Offering them flags.
6. How does this technology empower station staff?
A. By punishing passengers’ misbehavior. B. By ensuring a secure working environment.
C. By minimizing real-time monitoring needs. D. By detecting potentially collapsing platforms.
7. Which of the following best describes this technology?
A. Ineffective. B. Transformative C. Short-lived. D. Nonessential.
C
A recent study from the University of Guelph in Canada has revealed a surprising discovery about common eastern bumblebees (大黄蜂): These insects can survive underwater for up to a week. This finding, published in the journal Biology Letters, came about due to an experimental error when researchers placed hibernating (冬眠的) queen bumblebees in water and found them alive days later. The discovery has impressed scientists. particularly because bumblebees are land-based creatures not typically associated with water environments.
Nigel Raine, a professor in the school of environmental sciences at the university and the study’s lead author, expressed his astonishment at the results. To further explore this phenomenon, Raine and his team conducted an experiment involving 143 hibernating queen bumblebees. They discovered that those placed underwater for up to seven days had similar survival rates to those not, indicating that the bees’ ability to survive such conditions may be more common than previously thought.
The research underlines the strength of bumblebees during their hibernation period. a critical phase in their life cycle that has remained largely unexplored. Queen bumblebees typically hibernate alone in small holes during the cold months, which are believed to protect them from flooding. However, this study reveals that these bees possess an unexpected adaptation, allowing them to survive even in flooded conditions.
Given these findings, one possible explanation for their survival is diapause, a state of suspended growth and reproduction characterized by reduced oxygen intake. During this state. bumblebees may close their spiracles (气孔) to prevent water from entering their bodies, and they might also breathe through their skin. This energy-saving mode is likely a key factor in their ability to survive beneath the water.
Raine emphasized the importance of understanding these mechanisms, as it could have significant implications for the study of wild insects that help with plant reproduction, which are crucial for food security and ecosystem health, His team’s research will aim to determine whether hibernating queens can survive even longer periods underwater and if similar strength exists in other bee species.
8. What do we know about the finding?
A. It matched prior beliefs. B. It concerned sea insects.

When Celia Barberena retired in 2012 after a long career in higher education, she faced a new challenge: how to spend her retirement. While some view retirement as a time to relax and enjoy life without pressure, Barberena wanted to engage in something meaningful. At 67, she decided that volunteering would be her new focus.
Barberena believes that volunteering helps keep her mind sharp, and recent research backs her up. A study presented at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference indicated that volunteering is connected with better scores on cognitive (认知) function tests. Volunteers are vital to communities, and many organizations rely on their contributions. Donna McCullough, Chief Mission and Field Operations Officer at the Alzheimer’s Association, hopes these findings will inspire people to volunteer not just for community but also for potential brain health benefits.
This research stands out because it included a diverse population of nearly 2,500 participants who varied in race. background, and education levels. Previous studies have found positive links between volunteering and cognitive function; however, when it comes to the new research, it found that those who volunteered performed better on tests of planning, attention focusing, task prioritization, and memory recall, regardless of their age, gender, education, or income.
Now 75, Barberena stays busy with various volunteer roles. She believes that volunteering exercises her memory and reasoning skills. Additionally, she notes that retirement can lead to isolation (孤独), and the resulting loneliness or anxiety can negatively impact cognition, making social engagement even more crucial.
Volunteering has provided Barberena with a sense of purpose and a network of friends, all of which are invaluable to her mental health and overall quality of life. Experts suggest that the positive effects of volunteering create a beneficial cycle that can help reduce depression and loneliness. Even with physical limitations, many volunteering opportunities are available online, making it accessible to almost everyone. The key is to find an activity that is enjoyable and personally rewarding, allowing individuals to stay engaged and mentally active in their later years.
12 Why did Barberena turn to volunteering?
A. To pursue a purposeful activity. B. To enjoy a stress-free retirement.
C. To avoid additional responsibilities. D. To confirm recent research findings
13. What makes the new research unique?
A. Its narrow focus. B. Its mixed sample.
C. Its high accuracy. D. Its small selection.
14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Berberena’s gains from volunteering. B. Barberena’s motivation for retirement.
C. Barberena’s challenges in volunteering. D. Barberena’s hobbies outside volunteering.
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Volunteering primarily benefits physical health.
B. Volunteering should be satisfying and meaningful.
C. Online volunteering is suited for skilled professionals.
D. Only in-person volunteering offers a sense of purpose.

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 my childhood, influenced by my parents and friends. I was encouraged to try various creative activities. Of course, I didn’t enjoy all of them equally, whether it was my first attempt or after repeated efforts. However, life has a way of leading us to unexpected passions. You never know when a creative pursuit might change your life.
The name of this activity is “painting”. About ten years ago, I didn’t really see the appeal of sitting in front of a canvas (画布) for hours, trying to recreate scenes or images in my mind. The idea of mixing colors and repeatedly adjusting brushes felt tiresome to me. In fact, I used to think of painting as some sort of “coloring inside the lines” activity that young kids enjoyed, but it was much more difficult because there was no outline to guide you.
However, all that changed when I visited my grandparents during a winter break. My grandmother, an enthusiastic painter, gently persuaded me to join her in her art studio to try my hand at painting. She encouraged me to simply express myself through colors and brushes. Hesitant but curious, I agreed and sat down with her, ready to paint. Before handing me the brushes, she showed me how to mix the colors and create different shades, making the process seem more approachable.
Learning to paint, especially for a beginner like me, can be a difficult task. The act of holding a brush is simple, but creating something meaningful on the canvas is challenging. That’s why it’s called painting, not finishing. But with practice and patience, it becomes more enjoyable and less frightening over time. Patience is crucial in painting. It takes time to find the right combination of colors and to let the image in your mind slowly take form on the canvas.
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。
My grandmother had to repeatedly remind me to be patient.
