On April 20, 2024, he and many volunteers started a five-week activity to pick up rubbish from five beaches along the Southern California coast and even some beaches in Mexico. He has collected about 2 million bottles from beaches, lakes and rivers since he was 2 years old. “The rubbish ends up in the ocean, and animals are eating it,” Ryan told The Orange County Register. “I really can’t endure the pollution any more. Picking up a piece of rubbish may save a turtle’ s life.” Ryan first learned about the influence of pollution at the Pacific Marine Mammal Center (PMMC 太平洋海洋哺乳动物中心) in Laguna Beach. Watching the videos of ocean pollution there encouraged him to think about what he could do to help save them. From a young age, he has developed a love for recycling. He kept collecting rubbish and bottles for a long time. One day, Ryan knew from the workers in PMMC that saving sea animals needed money. “Why not sell the bottles?” he thought. In 2017, Ryan handed a $10,000 check to the PMMC after picking up 50,000 pounds of rubbish and more than 200,000 recyclable bottles. Ryan has also traveled worldwide, speaking to kids about what kids can do for the protection of sea animals. He said, “It’s meaningful. I’ll keep on doing it.” 51. When did Ryan begin his collecting bottles from beaches? A. In 2024. B. In 2022. C. In 2012. D. In 2010. 52. What does the underlined word “endure” mean in Paragraph 2? A. Feel. B. Bear. C. Agree. D. Believe. 53. Why did Ryan decide to save sea animals? A. Because of the videos of ocean pollution. B. Because of the influence of some volunteers. C. Because of an invitation of the PMCC. D. Because of a love for collecting bottles. 54. What did Ryan do to help save the sea animals? A. He studies the effects of pollution at the PMMC. B. He worked for the PMCC to save and protect sea animals. C. He picked up the rubbish and bottles for the PMMC. D. He sold the rubbish and bottles to raise money for the PMCC. 55. What is Ryan like according to the text? A. Crazy. B. Kind. C. Polite. D. Honest. 【答案】51. C 52. B 53. A 54. D 55. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍了年仅14岁的Ryan Hickman通过海滩清理活动来关爱自然，保护海洋动物。 【51题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段内容“At just 14 years old, Ryan Hickman from San Juan Hills High School, US, attracts a lot of eyes with a beach clean-up activity.On April 20, 2024, he and many volunteers started a five-week activity to pick up rubbish from five beaches along the Southern California coast and even some beaches in Mexico. He has collected about 2 million bottles from beaches, lakes and rivers since he was 2 years old.”可知，Ryan从两岁开始收集瓶子。由此推测出，14-2=12，2024-12=1012，所以Ryan于2012年开始在海滩上收集瓶子的。故选C。 【52题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段中“‘I really can’t endure the pollution any more. Picking up a piece of rubbish may save a turtle’ s life.’”可知，“我”真的不能再忍受污染了。捡起一块垃圾可能会拯救一只海龟的生命。由此可知，下划线动词endure的意思最有可能是“忍受”，结合选项，bear“忍受”。故选B。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Watching the videos of ocean pollution there encouraged him to think about what he could do to help save them.”可知，看了那里的海洋污染视频后，他开始思考自己能做些什么来拯救它们。故选A。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“From a young age, he has developed a love for recycling. He kept collecting rubbish and bottles for a long time. One day, Ryan knew from the workers in PMMC that saving sea animals needed money.”可知，Ryan长期收集垃圾和瓶子，并且他卖掉了垃圾和瓶子，为PMCC筹集资金。故选D。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。根据通读全文，结合最后一段内容“Ryan has also traveled worldwide, speaking to kids about what kids can do for the protection of sea animals. He said, ‘It’s meaningful. I’ll keep on doing it.’”可知，本文主要介绍了年仅14岁的Ryan Hickman通过海滩清理活动来关爱自然，保护海洋动物。由此可推测出，Ryan是善良的。故选B。 C When you’re not at home, do many worries start to crowd your mind?

The care homes in London come up with an amazing way to stop old people feeling lonely— giving them hens to look after. It’s also used to help patients with dementia, a serious illness of the mind. Workers in care homes have reported a reduction in the use of medicine where hens are in use. The project is dreamed up by a charity (慈善机构) to reduce loneliness and improve happiness among the old. Among those taking part in the project is 80-year-old Ruth Xavier. She said, “I used to keep hens when I was younger and had to prepare their breakfast each morning before I went to school. I’m enjoying the creative activity, and it feels great to have done something useful.” Wendy Wilson, a care manager at 60 Penfold Street, one of the first to join the project, said, “People really welcome the idea of the project. We are looking forward to the advantages and fun the project can bring to people here.” Lynn Lewis, director of Notting Hill Pathways, said, “We are happy to take part in the project. It will really help bring our people together through a shared interest and creative activities.” There are now 700 old people looking after hens in 20 care homes in the northeast. And now the charity is working hard to raise money for the project across the country. 根据文章内容，完成下面小题： 61. According to Paragraph 1, what problem do people face? _______________________________________________ 62. What does the underlined word “them” refer to? _______________________________________________ 63. What’s the purpose of the project?

B At just 14 years old, Ryan Hickman from San Juan Hills High School, US, attracts a lot of eyes with a beach clean-up activity. On April 20, 2024, he and many volunteers started a five-week activity to pick up rubbish from five beaches along the Southern California coast and even some beaches in Mexico. He has collected about 2 million bottles from beaches, lakes and rivers since he was 2 years old. “The rubbish ends up in the ocean, and animals are eating it,” Ryan told The Orange County Register. “I really can’t endure the pollution any more. Picking up a piece of rubbish may save a turtle’ s life.” Ryan first learned about the influence of pollution at the Pacific Marine Mammal Center (PMMC 太平洋海洋哺乳动物中心) in Laguna Beach. Watching the videos of ocean pollution there encouraged him to think about what he could do to help save them. From a young age, he has developed a love for recycling. He kept collecting rubbish and bottles for a long time. One day, Ryan knew from the workers in PMMC that saving sea animals needed money. “Why not sell the bottles?” he thought. In 2017, Ryan handed a $10,000 check to the PMMC after picking up 50,000 pounds of rubbish and more than 200,000 recyclable bottles. Ryan has also traveled worldwide, speaking to kids about what kids can do for the protection of sea animals. He said, “It’s meaningful. I’ll keep on doing it.” 51.

Believe. 53. Why did Ryan decide to save sea animals? A. Because of the videos of ocean pollution. B. Because of the influence of some volunteers. C. Because of an invitation of the PMCC. D. Because of a love for collecting bottles. 54. What did Ryan do to help save the sea animals? A. He studies the effects of pollution at the PMMC. B. He worked for the PMCC to save and protect sea animals. C. He picked up the rubbish and bottles for the PMMC. D. He sold the rubbish and bottles to raise money for the PMCC. 55. What is Ryan like according to the text? A. Crazy. B. Kind. C. Polite. D. Honest. C When you’re not at home, do many worries start to crowd your mind? Did I turn the coffee maker off? Did I lock the door? With a smart home, you can quiet all of these worries. A smart home offers convenience to its owners. The devices (设备) at home can connect with each other through the Internet, making the user-control functions, such as lighting and temperature. “Haitangxiaozhen”, an Internet user from Xuzhou, Jiangsu, shared his experience of living in a smart home. He said that he usually gets off work late, so cooking used to be a big problem. But now, cooked rice waits for him at home because he can turn on the rice cooker with his phone before going home. He can also check the security camera at the door anytime through his phone. It’s very convenient for him. During winter and summer holidays, when his child was alone at home, he used to worry about safety problems. For this reason, he specially set up a smart camera. With it, he can check if his child is OK at any time. His home also has a kitchen safety set, including smoke sensors (传感器), gas sensors and water sensors. And these devices are really smart. They come with self-learning skills so they can learn the home owner’s time and make changes as needed. All these conveniences are making smart homes more and more popular both in China and around the world. 56. How does the writer introduce the topic in Paragraph 1? A. By asking a question. B. By explaining the reason. C. By listing numbers. D. By telling a story. 57. What makes it possible to use smart devices at home? A. The owner’s voice. B. The bright light. C. The right temperature. D. The Internet. 58. The writer gives Haitangxiaozhen’s example to show ________. A. why smart homes are common in Xuzhou B. how Haitangxiaozhen chooses different devices C. when the owner can control the devices at smart homes D. what Haitangxiaozhen can do with smart home devices 59.

So how to take good care of the old becomes a big social problem we are faced with. The care homes in London come up with an amazing way to stop old people feeling lonely— giving them hens to look after. It’s also used to help patients with dementia, a serious illness of the mind. Workers in care homes have reported a reduction in the use of medicine where hens are in use. The project is dreamed up by a charity (慈善机构) to reduce loneliness and improve happiness among the old. Among those taking part in the project is 80-year-old Ruth Xavier. She said, “I used to keep hens when I was younger and had to prepare their breakfast each morning before I went to school. I’m enjoying the creative activity, and it feels great to have done something useful.” Wendy Wilson, a care manager at 60 Penfold Street, one of the first to join the project, said, “People really welcome the idea of the project. We are looking forward to the advantages and fun the project can bring to people here.” Lynn Lewis, director of Notting Hill Pathways, said, “We are happy to take part in the project. It will really help bring our people together through a shared interest and creative activities.” There are now 700 old people looking after hens in 20 care homes in the northeast. And now the charity is working hard to raise money for the project across the country. 根据文章内容，完成下面小题： 61.
