What started with a few painted rocks has turned into a movement that’s lifting spirits and spreading love across Brevard County and beyond.
Jen Justiniano began painting rocks as a way to cope (处理) with anxiety following a hurricane, posting photos of her creations on social media. At the same time, her friend Carrie Cerve was sharing positive messages on the platform, encouraging others to spread kindness. When Cerve came across Justiniano’s rock posts, she was inspired.
“I just felt like today was the day to throw out some kindness, and reminders that you, as one person, can make a difference,” Cerve said.
That spark (火花) led the two women to create a private group called Brevard Rocks FL. What they thought would be a small circle of friends quickly turned into a hit. Within weeks, the group grew to 1,000 members, and today, it boasts an incredible 41,500 members, with more joining every day.
The concept is simple yet powerful: Members paint rocks with uplifting messages like “Be kind” “Spread kindness” and “Love”, then hide them around the community. Those who find the rocks often feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude, leading them to join the group and share their stories.
One of those touched by the movement is Coleen Carlson of Viera. During a particularly difficult time in her life, Carlson discovered a pink-painted rock with the word “Warrior” on it outside a doughnut shop. The message resonated (引起共鸣) deeply with her.
“I burst into tears and knew the rock was meant just for me,” she said. “I kept the rock for several years, until I had a friend going through a rough time too. I gave her the rock, and she cried with me. She moved away, and I have no idea if she kept it or passed it on, but whoever painted it has no idea how special it was.”
4. What was the initial purpose of Jen Justiniano painting rocks?
A. To start an online community.
B. To ease the mood after a disaster.
C. To encourage others to spread kindness.
D. To create a new art form for social media.
5. What does Cerve think of Justiniano’s works?
A. Boring. B. Puzzling. C. Interesting. D. Encouraging.
6. How may those people finding the rocks react?
A They may ignore the rocks. B. They may throw them away.
C. They may become kindness sharers. D. They may leave where they are.
7. Why does the author mention Coleen Carlson of Viera?
A. To prove the impact of the group. B. To describe her background in detail.
C. To explain her personal challenges. D. To show her love for rock paintings.
C
Companies and institutes are currently working on biotechnological processes for the production of dairy (奶制的) products without the use of cows: In so-called precision fermentation (发酵), egg and milk proteins are produced with the help of bacteria or yeasts (酵母). This results in foods such as milk or cheese with a familiar flavour and texture.
Supporters hope that this will lead to more sustainable food production, as nutrient-rich proteins can be produced using fewer resources. But will consumers accept such products? Researchers at the University of Gӧttingen have found that a large proportion of German consumers are willing to try and buy cheese produced in this way.
The study is based on a representative online survey with around 2,000 participants. The researchers analyzed how various aspects of information affect the acceptance of cheese produced in this way. They analyzed the potential opportunities and risks of the technology, including its relation to sustainability, impact on agriculture and product quality.
In general, information has only a minor influence on whether consumers would try or buy cheese from precision fermentation. Only the reference to the technological genetic modification (改变) of the materials required for the production process leads to a slightly significantly lower willingness to try the product.
Respondents were also confronted with the potential advantages and disadvantages of this technology. It was found that emphasising the consistently high quality of the products and advantages in terms of the environment and animal welfare in particular increased the willingness to try such cheese.
The situation is different when consumers are informed about possible risks, for example that farmers could lose their source of income due to the new technology or that large companies could exert too much power on the market. These aspects reduced the willingness to buy and pay for such cheese the most.
“Our study shows that consumers in Germany are open to cheese from precision fermentation if they are informed about the benefits and high quality of the product. However, it is important to design the communication carefully to address concerns about the impact on traditional agriculture,” explains first author Dr Sarah Kuhl, Chair for Marketing for Food and Agricultural Products at the University of Gӧttingen.
8. What is the primary goal of precision fermentation in dairy production?
A. To create a new type of bacteria for dairy.
B. To increase the variety of cheese flavors.
C. To produce dairy products without the need for cows.
D. To develop a new market for yeast-based products.
9. What might lower willingness to try cheese from precision fermentation?
A. Risks of the technology. B. The environmental benefits.
C. Preference for traditional dairy. D. Lack of understanding of the process.
10. What does the underlined word “exert” in paragraph 6 mean?
A. Lift. B. Apply. C. Maintain. D. Refuse.
11. What message did Dr Sarah Kuhl want to convey in the last paragraph?
A. Product quality matters much.
B. Environmental benefits are vital.
C. Traditional farming will be replaced.
D. Balanced communication is important.

Adults who continuously played organized sports through their youth have fewer symptoms of anxiety and depression than those who never played or those who dropped out, a new study finds. “And those who dropped out of sports had poorer mental health than those who never played at all. But many more people drop out of youth sports than play continuously until they are 18.” said Chris Knoester, professor of sociology at The Ohio State University.
“If you play and stick with sports, it’s a positive for your mental health, but if you play and drop out it seems to be negative — and most kids drop out,” Knoester said. The study showed that most people dropped out of sports because they weren’t having fun or felt they weren’t good enough. “That suggests ways youth sports can be improved to help kids,” said study lead author Laura Upenieks.
“Our findings about why kids drop out of organized sports suggest that the current environment is less than ideal for everyone, and that the barriers to participation need to be given greater attention,” Upenieks said.
“It is easy to see why sports can be good for those who are able to continue with it to adulthood,” Upenieks said. “The longer that youth are exposed to a positive and encouraging sporting environment, the more likely they are to develop habits that are conducive to longterm mental well-being, such as a commitment to regular exercise and collaborating with others as part of a team.
The fact that so many kids quit shows that organized sports often don’t provide a positive environment. But there are steps adults can take to improve that environment.
For one, sports should be safe for kids. The researchers said the fact that 8% said they were abused by coaches is particularly alarming. “And the finding that nearly half of kids quit because they weren’t having fun and about a third dropped out because they felt they weren’t good enough should also be a wake-up call,” Knoester said.
“We need to improve youth sports so that it supports positive experiences for everyone and makes it more enjoyable,” he said.
12. What can we say about dropping out of sports?
A. It has no impact on physical health.
B. It’s beneficial to mental health.
C. It keeps players playing into adulthood.
D. It is worse for mental health than never playing.
13. What is one of the main reasons for kids dropping out of sports?
A. They don’t get joy from exercise. B. They prefer individual activities.
C. They are not physically fit enough. D. They are not academically related.
14. What is key to improving the youth sports environment?
A. Reducing the number of coaches. B. Adding fun to youth sports.
C. Changing the rules of sports. D. Providing more training partners.
15. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. The Reason Why Kids Quit Sports
B. The Benefits and Drawbacks of Playing Youth Sports
C. The Impact of Youth Sports on Long-Term Mental Health
D. Challenges and Solutions for Improving Youth Sports Programs

Maycie Fuselier was a warm-hearted young woman with a genuine care for others. Three years ago, during a charity event, she signed up to be a bone marrow(骨髓) donor, hoping to make a difference in someone's life. As time passed, the memory of that selfless act faded into the background of her busy life as a high school English teacher.
In September 2022, Adam and Candace Cromer learned that their daughter, Sophie, then only 6 years old, had been diagnosed with aplastic anemia, a rare and serious bone marrow disease.
“It was severe,” Candace said. “We did our own research and found the only cure option was to have a bone marrow transplant.”
It was an ordinary afternoon when Maycie's phone rang and she answered, expecting a routine call, but the voice on the other end brought unexpected news.
“Hello, Maycie? This is calling from the National Bone Marrow Registry. We have a potential match for your donor profile. A young girl named Sophie, who is suffering from a rare and severe bone marrow disease called aplastic anemia, needs your help. Are you still willing to donate?”
The news that she was a match for Sophie left her both surprised and nervous. Unsure of what to do, she sought guidance from her father.
“He said that I should think about it and I did,” she shared.
After taking his advice, she made the life-changing decision. “I'm so glad I said yes,” Maycie added, reflecting on the experience.
The process was swift and efficient. Maycie underwent a series of tests to confirm her compatibility, and soon, it was confirmed that she was indeed a match for Sophie. The thought of being able to save a child's life filled her with a profound sense of purpose and joy.
In January 2023, Sophie's life was saved by a bone marrow transplant from Maycie. The Children's of Alabama organized a special meeting for them in September 2024.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;

What started with a few painted rocks has turned into a movement that’s lifting spirits and spreading love across Brevard County and beyond.
Jen Justiniano began painting rocks as a way to cope (处理) with anxiety following a hurricane, posting photos of her creations on social media. At the same time, her friend Carrie Cerve was sharing positive messages on the platform, encouraging others to spread kindness. When Cerve came across Justiniano’s rock posts, she was inspired.
“I just felt like today was the day to throw out some kindness, and reminders that you, as one person, can make a difference,” Cerve said.
That spark (火花) led the two women to create a private group called Brevard Rocks FL. What they thought would be a small circle of friends quickly turned into a hit. Within weeks, the group grew to 1,000 members, and today, it boasts an incredible 41,500 members, with more joining every day.
The concept is simple yet powerful: Members paint rocks with uplifting messages like “Be kind” “Spread kindness” and “Love”, then hide them around the community. Those who find the rocks often feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude, leading them to join the group and share their stories.
One of those touched by the movement is Coleen Carlson of Viera. During a particularly difficult time in her life, Carlson discovered a pink-painted rock with the word “Warrior” on it outside a doughnut shop. The message resonated (引起共鸣) deeply with her.
“I burst into tears and knew the rock was meant just for me,” she said. “I kept the rock for several years, until I had a friend going through a rough time too. I gave her the rock, and she cried with me. She moved away, and I have no idea if she kept it or passed it on, but whoever painted it has no idea how special it was.”
4. What was the initial purpose of Jen Justiniano painting rocks?
A. To start an online community.
B. To ease the mood after a disaster.
C. To encourage others to spread kindness.
D. To create a new art form for social media.
5. What does Cerve think of Justiniano’s works?
A. Boring. B. Puzzling. C. Interesting. D. Encouraging.
6. How may those people finding the rocks react?
A They may ignore the rocks. B. They may throw them away.
C. They may become kindness sharers. D. They may leave where they are.
7. Why does the author mention Coleen Carlson of Viera?
A. To prove the impact of the group. B. To describe her background in detail.
C. To explain her personal challenges. D. To show her love for rock paintings.

Companies and institutes are currently working on biotechnological processes for the production of dairy (奶制的) products without the use of cows: In so-called precision fermentation (发酵), egg and milk proteins are produced with the help of bacteria or yeasts (酵母). This results in foods such as milk or cheese with a familiar flavour and texture.
Supporters hope that this will lead to more sustainable food production, as nutrient-rich proteins can be produced using fewer resources. But will consumers accept such products? Researchers at the University of Gӧttingen have found that a large proportion of German consumers are willing to try and buy cheese produced in this way.
The study is based on a representative online survey with around 2,000 participants. The researchers analyzed how various aspects of information affect the acceptance of cheese produced in this way. They analyzed the potential opportunities and risks of the technology, including its relation to sustainability, impact on agriculture and product quality.
In general, information has only a minor influence on whether consumers would try or buy cheese from precision fermentation. Only the reference to the technological genetic modification (改变) of the materials required for the production process leads to a slightly significantly lower willingness to try the product.
Respondents were also confronted with the potential advantages and disadvantages of this technology. It was found that emphasising the consistently high quality of the products and advantages in terms of the environment and animal welfare in particular increased the willingness to try such cheese.
The situation is different when consumers are informed about possible risks, for example that farmers could lose their source of income due to the new technology or that large companies could exert too much power on the market. These aspects reduced the willingness to buy and pay for such cheese the most.
“Our study shows that consumers in Germany are open to cheese from precision fermentation if they are informed about the benefits and high quality of the product. However, it is important to design the communication carefully to address concerns about the impact on traditional agriculture,” explains first author Dr Sarah Kuhl, Chair for Marketing for Food and Agricultural Products at the University of Gӧttingen.
8. What is the primary goal of precision fermentation in dairy production?
A. To create a new type of bacteria for dairy.
B. To increase the variety of cheese flavors.
C. To produce dairy products without the need for cows.
D. To develop a new market for yeast-based products.
9. What might lower willingness to try cheese from precision fermentation?
A. Risks of the technology. B. The environmental benefits.
C. Preference for traditional dairy. D. Lack of understanding of the process.
10. What does the underlined word “exert” in paragraph 6 mean?
A. Lift. B. Apply. C. Maintain. D. Refuse.
11. What message did Dr Sarah Kuhl want to convey in the last paragraph?
A. Product quality matters much.
B. Environmental benefits are vital.
C. Traditional farming will be replaced.
D. Balanced communication is important.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】

细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Companies and institutes are currently working on biotechnological processes for the production of dairy (奶制的) products without the use of cows: In so-called precision fermentation (发酵), egg and milk proteins are produced with the help of bacteria or yeasts (酵母) (目前,公司和研究机构正在研发一种无需使用奶牛的生物技术生产奶制品的方法:在所谓的精准发酵过程中,利用细菌或酵母生产蛋和奶蛋白)”可知,精准发酵的主要目标是生产不需要奶牛的奶制品。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第六段“The situation is different when consumers are informed about possible risks, for example that farmers could lose their source of income due to the new technology or that large companies could exert too much power on the market. These aspects reduced the willingness to buy and pay for such cheese the most. (然而,当消费者被告知可能的风险时,比如农民可能会因新技术失去收入来源,或者大型公司可能会在市场上施加过多权力,这些方面最能减少购买和支付这种奶酪的意愿)”可知,关于技术风险的信息会降低消费者尝试这种奶酪的意愿。故选A。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第六段“The situation is different when consumers are informed about possible risks, for example that farmers could lose their source of income due to the new technology (然而,当消费者被告知可能的风险时,比如农民可能会因新技术失去收入来源),以及“These aspects reduced the willingness to buy and pay for such cheese the most. (这些方面最能减少购买和支付这种奶酪的意愿)”可知,消费者购买奶酪意愿的减少原因,一是收入的减少,二是大公司的原因,再结合原句中exert的宾语为“过多的力量”too much power,exert在此处意为使用,即大公司可能在市场上使用过多的力量。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Our study shows that consumers in Germany are open to cheese from precision fermentation if they are informed about the benefits and high quality of the product. However, it is important to design the communication carefully to address concerns about the impact on traditional agriculture(我们的研究表明,如果德国消费者了解该产品的好处和高质量,他们对精确发酵的奶酪持开放态度。然而,重要的是要仔细设计沟通,以解决对传统农业影响的担忧)可知,Sarah Kuhl博士想传达的信息是,与消费者的沟通要平衡,不仅要宣传产品的优点,还需正视顾客的传统农业相关担忧。故选D。
D
Adults who continuously played organized sports through their youth have fewer symptoms of anxiety and depression than those who never played or those who dropped out, a new study finds. “And those who dropped out of sports had poorer mental health than those who never played at all. But many more people drop out of youth sports than play continuously until they are 18.” said Chris Knoester, professor of sociology at The Ohio State University.
“If you play and stick with sports, it’s a positive for your mental health, but if you play and drop out it seems to be negative — and most kids drop out,” Knoester said. The study showed that most people dropped out of sports because they weren’t having fun or felt they weren’t good enough. “That suggests ways youth sports can be improved to help kids,” said study lead author Laura Upenieks.
“Our findings about why kids drop out of organized sports suggest that the current environment is less than ideal for everyone, and that the barriers to participation need to be given greater attention,” Upenieks said.
“It is easy to see why sports can be good for those who are able to continue with it to adulthood,” Upenieks said. “The longer that youth are exposed to a positive and encouraging sporting environment, the more likely they are to develop habits that are conducive to longterm mental well-being, such as a commitment to regular exercise and collaborating with others as part of a team.
The fact that so many kids quit shows that organized sports often don’t provide a positive environment. But there are steps adults can take to improve that environment.
For one, sports should be safe for kids. The researchers said the fact that 8% said they were abused by coaches is particularly alarming. “And the finding that nearly half of kids quit because they weren’t having fun and about a third dropped out because they felt they weren’t good enough should also be a wake-up call,” Knoester said.
“We need to improve youth sports so that it supports positive experiences for everyone and makes it more enjoyable,” he said.
12. What can we say about dropping out of sports?
A. It has no impact on physical health.
B. It’s beneficial to mental health.
C. It keeps players playing into adulthood.
D. It is worse for mental health than never playing.
13. What is one of the main reasons for kids dropping out of sports?
A. They don’t get joy from exercise. B. They prefer individual activities.
C. They are not physically fit enough. D. They are not academically related.
14. What is key to improving the youth sports environment?
A. Reducing the number of coaches. B. Adding fun to youth sports.
C. Changing the rules of sports. D. Providing more training partners.
15. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. The Reason Why Kids Quit Sports
B. The Benefits and Drawbacks of Playing Youth Sports
C. The Impact of Youth Sports on Long-Term Mental Health
D. Challenges and Solutions for Improving Youth Sports Programs
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C
【解析】

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“And those who dropped out of sports had poorer mental health than those who never played at all. (那些退出体育运动的人比那些从未参加过体育运动的人心理健康状况更差。)”可知,退出体育运动对心理健康来说比未参加的更糟糕。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The study showed that most people dropped out of sports because they weren’t having fun or felt they weren’t good enough.(研究表明,大多数人退出体育运动是因为他们没有乐趣,或者觉得自己不够好。)”可知,孩子们退出体育运动的主要原因之一是他们不能从运动中得到快乐。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“ “And the finding that nearly half of kids quit because they weren’t having fun and about a third dropped out because they felt they weren’t good enough should also be a wake-up call,” Knoester said.(Knoester说:“近一半的孩子因为玩得不开心而退出运动,大约三分之一的孩子因为觉得自己不够好而退出运动,这一发现也应该是一个警钟。”)”和最后一段中““We need to improve youth sports so that it supports positive experiences for everyone and makes it more enjoyable,” he said.(他说:“我们需要改善青少年体育,这样才能为每个人提供积极的体验,让它更有趣。”)”可知, 改善青少年体育环境的关键是增加青少年运动的乐趣。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Adults who continuously played organized sports through their youth have fewer symptoms of anxiety and depression than those who never played or those who dropped out, a new study finds.(一项新的研究发现,在青少年时期经常参加有组织的体育运动的成年人比那些从不参加体育运动或辍学的人更少出现焦虑和抑郁的症状。)”和第二段中““If you play and stick with sports, it’s a positive for your mental health, but if you play and drop out it seems to be negative — and most kids drop out,” Knoester said.(Knoester说:“如果你参加并坚持体育运动,这对你的心理健康是积极的,但如果你参加体育运动后退出,这似乎是消极的——并且大多数孩子都退出了”)”可知,本文一项关于体育运动对青少年心理影响的研究。C项“青少年体育运动对长期心理健康的影响”符合主题,故选C项。

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。
Maycie Fuselier was a warm-hearted young woman with a genuine care for others. Three years ago, during a charity event, she signed up to be a bone marrow(骨髓) donor, hoping to make a difference in someone's life. As time passed, the memory of that selfless act faded into the background of her busy life as a high school English teacher.
In September 2022, Adam and Candace Cromer learned that their daughter, Sophie, then only 6 years old, had been diagnosed with aplastic anemia, a rare and serious bone marrow disease.
“It was severe,” Candace said. “We did our own research and found the only cure option was to have a bone marrow transplant.”
It was an ordinary afternoon when Maycie's phone rang and she answered, expecting a routine call, but the voice on the other end brought unexpected news.
“Hello, Maycie? This is calling from the National Bone Marrow Registry. We have a potential match for your donor profile. A young girl named Sophie, who is suffering from a rare and severe bone marrow disease called aplastic anemia, needs your help. Are you still willing to donate?”
The news that she was a match for Sophie left her both surprised and nervous. Unsure of what to do, she sought guidance from her father.
“He said that I should think about it and I did,” she shared.
After taking his advice, she made the life-changing decision. “I'm so glad I said yes,” Maycie added, reflecting on the experience.
The process was swift and efficient. Maycie underwent a series of tests to confirm her compatibility, and soon, it was confirmed that she was indeed a match for Sophie. The thought of being able to save a child's life filled her with a profound sense of purpose and joy.
In January 2023, Sophie's life was saved by a bone marrow transplant from Maycie. The Children's of Alabama organized a special meeting for them in September 2024.

On the day of the reunion, Maycie walked into a room filled with balloons and smiles. There, she saw Sophie, now a healthy and vibrant 8-year-old, running and laughing like any other child. The transformation was astonishing, and Maycie’s heart swelled with emotion. Sophie ran towards Maycie, hugging her tightly. “You' re my hero,” she whispered, tears of joy in her eyes. Maycie held her, overwhelmed by the love and gratitude that surrounded her. The two embraced, a moment of pure joy and gratitude that brought tears to the eyes of everyone present.
Seeing Sophie healthy and lively, Maycie was glad she had made that decision. It was a reminder that kindness could have profound and lasting impacts. During their reunion, Maycie reflected on the emotional experience and encouraged others to consider becoming donors, emphasizing the chance to “give the gift of life”. “Don’t even think twice,” she said. “Do it. For sure.” Maycie returned to her classroom with a renewed sense of purpose, sharing her story with her students. She wanted them to understand the power of compassion and the incredible gift of life that they could all be a part of.
