In the southwest of London, in Richmond, Lola Anderson began her rowing journey at the famous Surbiton High School. At the age of 14, she was moved by the victory of Heather Stanning and Helen Glover in the women’s pair at the London 2012 Olympics. Inspired, she penned in her diary with a pink highlighter: “My name is Lola Anderson, and my biggest dream is to compete in the Olympics in rowing, and if possible, win gold.”
After completing her English studies at Newcastle University, she won a gold medal in the quadruple sculls at the World Rowing Championships in 2023, followed by another victory at the European Championships that year. In July, alongside Georgie Brayshaw, Hannah Scott, and Lauren Henry, she rowed to victory in the Paris Olympic final.
In the competition, a mere 0.15 second separated her team from the Dutch boat at the finish line in Paris. They had been leading Anderson throughout the race until that last moment. Gasping for breath and nearly in shock, she was then overwhelmed by a surge of emotion. Her teammate, Hannah Scott, leaned forward to hug her from behind, saying, “Your father would have been so proud of what you’ve achieved.” It was then that Anderson began to cry, unable to stop. Her father, Don, had passed away five years before from cancer, but he had always been her strong supporter.
Unknown to her, her father kept the note and returned it to her seven years later, just two months before he passed away. He told her it served as a reminder that even when you doubt yourself, your loved ones will always have faith in you. His words encouraged her through difficulties in the years that followed.
That treasured piece of paper as an important reminder, now lies in a tin box in her bedroom, alongside a couple of her rowing medals. “The tin is one of the first things I see when I wake up at 6 am. I know my father would be so proud of what I’ve achieved,” she recalled.
4. What inspired Anderson to attend the Olympics in rowing at first?
A. Her father’s illness. B. A habit of keeping a diary.
C. Others’ success in games. D. Her preference for rowing.
5. What can be inferred about Anderson from paragraph 2 and 3?
A. She rowed to gold in 2023 with two other teammates.
B. She was really moved to tears seeing her father.
C. Her team won a narrow victory in the Paris Olympics.
D. Her team was confident of the competition all the time.
6. What can we learn from the story ?
A. Always prepare for a rainy days.
B. Where there is a will, there is a way.
C. You can’t judge a book by its cover.
D. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
7. What is the best title for the passage ?
A. An excellent champion. B. A close competition.
C. An impressive father. D. A precious reminder.
C
Plants are nature’s superheroes in the battle against climate change. They’re like a team of eco-protectors, using their superpower of photosynthesis (光合作用) to take in carbon dioxide from the air. This process not only helps them grow but also reduces the amount of this greenhouse gas in our atmosphere (大气层), which is a major cause of global warming. It’s like they’re on the road to clean up our planet.
But, just like any superhero, plants have their limits. There’s a point where they might not be able to absorb (吸收) any more carbon dioxide, and that’s a big worry for scientists. They’re racing against time to figure out when we might hit that limit.
Since the Industrial Revolution, human activities have caused a rapid increase in atmospheric carbon. Researchers, using computer models, have found that photosynthesis has increased by 30 percent. “It’s a positive development among the challenges of climate change,” explains Lucas Cernusak, an ecophysiologist from James Cook University in Australia. Cernusak and his team did a research on data from a 2017 study that measured carbonyl sulfide (羰基硫) in ice and air. Plants absorb carbonyl sulfide as part of their natural cycle, alongside carbon dioxide, and this is often used to measure global photosynthesis.
As atmospheric CO₂ levels continue to rise, it’s thought that plants will eventually reach their absorption limitation. “If more CO₂ remains in the atmosphere, concentrations will rise, increasing climate change,” warns Danielle Way, an ecophysiologist from Western University.
And it’s not just about the plants. What we do on the ground matters too. Cutting down forests to make way for farms and burning fossil fuels like oil and coal are messing with the carbon cycle. It’s like we’re adding more ingredients to a soup that’s already too rich.
Plants are our friends in the fight against climate change, but they can’t do it alone. We need to understand their limits and work with them, not against them.
8. What is the main role of plants in the atmosphere?
A. Producing greenhouse gas. B. Growing up by themselves.
C Broadening photosynthesis. D. Absorbing carbon dioxide.
9. What is carbonyl sulfide used for in the context of the passage?
A. A protector for plants. B. A measure of photosynthesis.
C A cause of climate change. D. An extra product of industrialization.
10. What will the future possibly be like if plants reach their absorption limit?
A. The climate change may worsen.
B. The Earth will become colder.
C. Carbonyl sulfide will disappear in natural cycle.
D. Carbon in the air will decrease.
11. What information does the passage convey?
A Plants solve climate change. B. Human actions are harmless.
C. Work with nature’s limits. D. Climate change is changeable.
D
Cleaning up abandoned lots (废弃草坪) and creating community gardens doesn’t just make a neighborhood feel safer — a growing body of evidence shows they really become safer.
That was about ten years ago, when Flint was known for its high rate of violent crime (犯罪). In 2012, according to FBI data, 2,774 violent crimes were reported to the Flint Police Department. In 2022, 985 were reported. But now, through the Genesee County Land Bank’s Clean & Green program, Ishmel and hundreds of other residents have been mowing (修剪) vacant lots, leading to its decreasing crime. Like other “legacy cities” that have experienced significant economic fall and population loss, Flint is still struggling. Greening projects like these maintain (维护) abandoned spaces, either by mowing them or changing them into gardens and parks. “When we take care of our neighborhood, it makes us feel a little bit safer,” Ishmel says.
But these projects don’t just make the neighborhood feel safer. Researchers who have been studying the effects of greening in Flint, Philadelphia, Youngstown, and other legacy cities have shown repeatedly that it actually reduces violent crime. And in Flint, Zimmerman and his colleagues compared streets where community members maintained vacant lots through Clean & Green with streets where vacant lots were left alone, over five years. The maintained ones had almost 40 percent fewer attacks and violent crimes. Another study showed that divisions of neighborhoods with maintained lawns had lower rates of child maltreatment (虐待).
These studies measure the decrease in crime, but it’s more difficult to exactly explain why crime rates are decreasing. Zimmerman points to the “broken windows” and “busy streets” theories. The idea is that one broken window sends a message “that nobody’s watching, that you can get away with things, and you can do nefarious activities, and nobody cares,” he explains. “Busy streets” is the opposite: It says calling on citizens to better neighborhoods will help develop a strong sense of community.
“From our research, it helps people feel better about each other, about themselves, about their neighborhood, about their community, about their street,” Zimmerman says. And it says to people who might commit crimes “that people are paying attention and care about this place.”
12. What do the numbers in paragraph 2 indicate?
A. FBI’s efforts. B. The decrease in crime.
C. The city’s falling. D. The situation of lots.
13. What is the effect of the project mentioned in the passage?
A. The vacant lots in Flint was ignored all the time.
B. Flint’s population has become smaller than before.
C. The project has improved people’s sense of safety.
D. The project has only adjusted parent-child relationship.
14. What does the underlined word “nefarious” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Bad. B. Suitable. C. Awkward. D. Adventurous.
15. What might be the author’s attitude towards the project in Flint?
A. Negative. B. Unconcerned. C. Doubtful. D. Positive.

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。
The year I entered 3rd grade, my parents’ farm experienced a great drought that dried up the entire Midwest. My father’s crop could not get enough water and died. With no crop to sell, there was no money. With no money, there was no food. We were a family of six. I was very hungry for quite some time.
My father grew worried and silent, my mother sad and angry. Though it would be many painful years before they would finally break up, the drought years were the worst because the farmhouse seemed to be waiting for something — thunder, lightning, heavy rain, a big fight, something to happen.
As kids do, I soldiered on, not having words or systems to manage anything otherwise. My sisters reacted similarly. We did not discuss it. At the dinner table, we had my mother’s home-canned green beans quietly, accompanied with apples. When school started, I packed three apples for lunch every day, because there were plenty in the basement: towers of boxes full of apples, bought at the Bargain Bin for a song. Kids made fun of me in the cafeteria, and I shouted at them: “Shut up. It’s just that I love apples.”
Early in November, my teacher Miss Troutman pulled me aside secretly. She gave me two gifts. The first was a ham sandwich. The second was a journal book.
I don’t know how she knew my situation. Perhaps it was my bony legs and dirty, too-short jeans. Perhaps she saw the apples. Maybe she just guessed. Regardless, she found a way to help me without hurting me or making me talk about my breaking heart. She offered dignity and kindness, making me filled with gratitude now. “Silly me,” she said. “I accidentally made an extra sandwich this morning. Could you do me a favor to have this extra one?”
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。
With it, she handed me a beautiful black leather journal book.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Miss Troutman made many accidental sandwiches that year.

In the southwest of London, in Richmond, Lola Anderson began her rowing journey at the famous Surbiton High School. At the age of 14, she was moved by the victory of Heather Stanning and Helen Glover in the women’s pair at the London 2012 Olympics. Inspired, she penned in her diary with a pink highlighter: “My name is Lola Anderson, and my biggest dream is to compete in the Olympics in rowing, and if possible, win gold.”
After completing her English studies at Newcastle University, she won a gold medal in the quadruple sculls at the World Rowing Championships in 2023, followed by another victory at the European Championships that year. In July, alongside Georgie Brayshaw, Hannah Scott, and Lauren Henry, she rowed to victory in the Paris Olympic final.
In the competition, a mere 0.15 second separated her team from the Dutch boat at the finish line in Paris. They had been leading Anderson throughout the race until that last moment. Gasping for breath and nearly in shock, she was then overwhelmed by a surge of emotion. Her teammate, Hannah Scott, leaned forward to hug her from behind, saying, “Your father would have been so proud of what you’ve achieved.” It was then that Anderson began to cry, unable to stop. Her father, Don, had passed away five years before from cancer, but he had always been her strong supporter.
Unknown to her, her father kept the note and returned it to her seven years later, just two months before he passed away. He told her it served as a reminder that even when you doubt yourself, your loved ones will always have faith in you. His words encouraged her through difficulties in the years that followed.
That treasured piece of paper, as an important reminder, now lies in a tin box in her bedroom, alongside a couple of her rowing medals. “The tin is one of the first things I see when I wake up at 6 am. I know my father would be so proud of what I’ve achieved,” she recalled.
4. What inspired Anderson to attend the Olympics in rowing at first?
A. Her father’s illness. B. A habit of keeping a diary.
C. Others’ success in games. D. Her preference for rowing.
5. What can be inferred about Anderson from paragraph 2 and 3?
A. She rowed to gold in 2023 with two other teammates.
B. She was really moved to tears seeing her father.
C. Her team won a narrow victory in the Paris Olympics.
D. Her team was confident of the competition all the time.
6 What can we learn from the story ?
A. Always prepare for a rainy days.
B. Where there is a will, there is a way.
C. You can’t judge a book by its cover.
D. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
7. What is the best title for the passage ?

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“At the age of 14, she was moved by the victory of Heather Stanning and Helen Glover in the women’s pair at the London 2012 Olympics. Inspired, she penned in her diary with a pink highlighter: “My name is Lola Anderson, and my biggest dream is to compete in the Olympics in rowing, and if possible, win gold.”(2012年伦敦奥运会上,14岁的她被希瑟·斯坦宁(Heather Stanning)和海伦·格洛弗(Helen Glover)的女子双人组合的胜利所感动。受到鼓舞,她用粉色荧光笔在日记中写道:“我叫洛拉·安德森,我最大的梦想是参加奥运会赛艇比赛,如果可能的话,赢得金牌。”)”可知,最初是他人的成功激励了安德森参加奥运会,故选C项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“In July, alongside Georgie Brayshaw, Hannah Scott, and Lauren Henry, she rowed to victory in the Paris Olympic final.(今年7月,她与乔治·布雷肖、汉娜·斯科特和劳伦·亨利一起,在巴黎奥运会决赛中划船夺冠)”以及第三段“In the competition, a mere 0.15 second separated her team from the Dutch boat at the finish line in Paris. They had been leading Anderson throughout the race until that last moment.(在比赛中,她的队伍与荷兰队在法国巴黎的终点线前仅相差0.15秒。直到最后一刻,她们还一直领先于安德森)”可知,在巴黎奥运会赛艇四人赛中,安德森所在战队以 0.15秒优势击败此前一直领先的荷兰队,摘得桂冠,即是安德森队获得险胜。故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Unknown to her, her father kept the note and returned it to her seven years later, just two months before he passed away. He told her it served as a reminder that even when you doubt yourself, your loved ones will always have faith in you. His words encouraged her through difficulties in the years that followed.(她不知道的是,她的父亲保留了这张纸条,并在七年后,也就是他去世前两个月,把它还给了她。他告诉她,这是在提醒她,即使你怀疑自己,你爱的人也会永远信任你。他的话鼓励她度过了随后几年的困难)”可知,女孩从小立下志向,虽然中间怀疑自己,但是她的父亲永远信任她,并提醒她的志向,最后女孩成功了,所以从故事可以学到:Where there is a will, there is a way.(有志者,事竟成)。故选B项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“That treasured piece of paper, as an important reminder, now lies in a tin box in her bedroom, alongside a couple of her rowing medals. “The tin is one of the first things I see when I wake up at 6 am. I know my father would be so proud of what I’ve achieved,” she recalled.(那张珍贵的纸,作为一个重要的提醒,现在放在她卧室的一个锡盒里,和她的几枚赛艇奖牌放在一起。“罐头是我早上6点醒来首先看到的东西之一。我知道我的父亲会为我的成就感到骄傲,”她回忆道)”以及纵观全文可知,本文主要讲述了安德森所在队伍在 2024年巴黎奥运会夺冠,以及她的父亲鼓励她逐梦奥运会的故事,所以D项“A precious reminder.(一个珍贵的提醒)”是本文最好的标题。故选D项。
C
Plants are nature’s superheroes in the battle against climate change. They’re like a team of eco-protectors, using their superpower of photosynthesis (光合作用) to take in carbon dioxide from the air. This process not only helps them grow but also reduces the amount of this greenhouse gas in our atmosphere (大气层), which is a major cause of global warming. It’s like they’re on the road to clean up our planet.
But, just like any superhero, plants have their limits. There’s a point where they might not be able to absorb (吸收) any more carbon dioxide, and that’s a big worry for scientists. They’re racing against time to figure out when we might hit that limit.
Since the Industrial Revolution, human activities have caused a rapid increase in atmospheric carbon. Researchers, using computer models, have found that photosynthesis has increased by 30 percent. “It’s a positive development among the challenges of climate change,” explains Lucas Cernusak, an ecophysiologist from James Cook University in Australia. Cernusak and his team did a research on data from a 2017 study that measured carbonyl sulfide (羰基硫) in ice and air. Plants absorb carbonyl sulfide as part of their natural cycle, alongside carbon dioxide, and this is often used to measure global photosynthesis.
As atmospheric CO₂ levels continue to rise, it’s thought that plants will eventually reach their absorption limitation. “If more CO₂ remains in the atmosphere, concentrations will rise, increasing climate change,” warns Danielle Way, an ecophysiologist from Western University.
And it’s not just about the plants. What we do on the ground matters too. Cutting down forests to make way for farms and burning fossil fuels like oil and coal are messing with the carbon cycle. It’s like we’re adding more ingredients to a soup that’s already too rich.
Plants are our friends in the fight against climate change, but they can’t do it alone. We need to understand their limits and work with them, not against them.
8. What is the main role of plants in the atmosphere?
A. Producing greenhouse gas. B. Growing up by themselves.
C. Broadening photosynthesis. D. Absorbing carbon dioxide.
9. What is carbonyl sulfide used for in the context of the passage?
A. A protector for plants. B. A measure of photosynthesis.
C. A cause of climate change. D. An extra product of industrialization.
10. What will the future possibly be like if plants reach their absorption limit?
A. The climate change may worsen.
B. The Earth will become colder.
C. Carbonyl sulfide will disappear in natural cycle.
D. Carbon in the air will decrease.
11. What information does the passage convey?
A. Plants solve climate change. B. Human actions are harmless.
C. Work with nature’s limits. D. Climate change is changeable.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. C
【解析】

Cleaning up abandoned lots (废弃草坪) and creating community gardens doesn’t just make a neighborhood feel safer — a growing body of evidence shows they really become safer.
That was about ten years ago, when Flint was known for its high rate of violent crime (犯罪). In 2012, according to FBI data, 2,774 violent crimes were reported to the Flint Police Department. In 2022, 985 were reported. But now, through the Genesee County Land Bank’s Clean & Green program, Ishmel and hundreds of other residents have been mowing (修剪) vacant lots, leading to its decreasing crime. Like other “legacy cities” that have experienced significant economic fall and population loss, Flint is still struggling. Greening projects like these maintain (维护) abandoned spaces, either by mowing them or changing them into gardens and parks. “When we take care of our neighborhood, it makes us feel a little bit safer,” Ishmel says.
But these projects don’t just make the neighborhood feel safer. Researchers who have been studying the effects of greening in Flint, Philadelphia, Youngstown, and other legacy cities have shown repeatedly that it actually reduces violent crime. And in Flint, Zimmerman and his colleagues compared streets where community members maintained vacant lots through Clean & Green with streets where vacant lots were left alone, over five years. The maintained ones had almost 40 percent fewer attacks and violent crimes. Another study showed that divisions of neighborhoods with maintained lawns had lower rates of child maltreatment (虐待).
These studies measure the decrease in crime, but it’s more difficult to exactly explain why crime rates are decreasing. Zimmerman points to the “broken windows” and “busy streets” theories. The idea is that one broken window sends a message “that nobody’s watching, that you can get away with things, and you can do nefarious activities, and nobody cares,” he explains. “Busy streets” is the opposite: It says calling on citizens to better neighborhoods will help develop a strong sense of community.
“From our research, it helps people feel better about each other, about themselves, about their neighborhood, about their community, about their street,” Zimmerman says. And it says to people who might commit crimes “that people are paying attention and care about this place.”
12. What do the numbers in paragraph 2 indicate?
A. FBI’s efforts. B. The decrease in crime.
C. The city’s falling. D. The situation of lots.
13 What is the effect of the project mentioned in the passage?
A. The vacant lots in Flint was ignored all the time.
B. Flint’s population has become smaller than before.
C. The project has improved people’s sense of safety.
D. The project has only adjusted parent-child relationship.
14. What does the underlined word “nefarious” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Bad. B. Suitable. C. Awkward. D. Adventurous.
15. What might be the author’s attitude towards the project in Flint?
A. Negative. B. Unconcerned. C. Doubtful. D. Positive.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了通过绿化项目来维护社区空地有助于降低犯罪率,提升社区安全感。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“In 2012, according to FBI data, 2,774 violent crimes were reported to the Flint Police Department. In 2022, 985 were reported. (根据联邦调查局的数据,2012年,弗林特警察局接到了2774起暴力犯罪报告。2022年,报告了985起)”可知,2012年有2774起暴力犯罪,而到了2022年,暴力犯罪降到了985起,由此可推测出,这些数字表明了犯罪率的下降。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“ “When we take care of our neighborhood, it makes us feel a little bit safer,” Ishmel says.(Ishmel说:“当我们照顾好我们的社区时,我们会感到更安全些。”)”和第三段中的“But these projects don’t just make the neighborhood feel safer. Researchers who have been studying the effects of greening in Flint, Philadelphia, Youngstown, and other legacy cities have shown repeatedly that it actually reduces violent crime.(但这些项目不仅仅让社区感觉更安全。研究绿化的效应的学者在弗林特、费城、扬斯敦和其他一些老工业城市中反复证明,绿化实际上能够减少暴力犯罪)”可知,这种项目提升了人们的安全感。故选C。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词所在句中的“one broken window sends a message “that nobody’s watching, that you can get away with things”和“nobody cares”可知,一只破窗传递了这样的信息:没有人看到,你可以逃避惩罚,不会有人在意,由此可推测,“you can do nefarious activities”表示你可以从事邪恶的活动,nefarious意为“邪恶的”,与bad(坏的)意思相近。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据全文内容及第一段“Cleaning up abandoned lots (废弃草坪) and creating community gardens doesn’t just make a neighborhood feel safer — a growing body of evidence shows they really become safer.(清理废弃草坪和创建社区花园不仅让社区感觉更安全——越来越多的证据表明,它们真的变得更安全了)”并结合第二段中的“But now, through the Genesee County Land Bank’s Clean & Green program, Ishmel and hundreds of other residents have been mowing(修剪) vacant lots, leading to its decreasing crime.(但现在,通过Genesee县土地银行的清洁与绿色计划,Ishmel和数百名其他居民一直在修剪空地,导致犯罪率下降)”可知,作者通过提供数据和研究结果,展示了这种项目不仅会提升社区安全感,也会降低犯罪率,由此可推测,作者对该项目持积极态度。故选D。

Yours,

【答案】Dear James,
I understand that starting high school can be challenging, and it’s tempting to use search apps for quick homework help. However, relying too much on them can affect your learning.
First, try to solve problems on your own. If you’re stuck, ask your teachers or classmates for help. They can explain the concepts in a way that’s easier to understand. Second, talk to your parents about your study methods. It’s definitely necessary to explain why you use the app and assure them you’re committed to learning. Maybe you can agree on using the app only for certain subjects or after you’ve tried to solve the problems yourself. Lastly, set aside specific time for studying and using the app, which can help you manage your time better and show your parents you’re serious about learning.
Yours,
Li Hua

第二节(满分25分)
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。
The year I entered 3rd grade, my parents’ farm experienced a great drought that dried up the entire Midwest. My father’s crop could not get enough water and died. With no crop to sell, there was no money. With no money, there was no food. We were a family of six. I was very hungry for quite some time.
My father grew worried and silent, my mother sad and angry. Though it would be many painful years before they would finally break up, the drought years were the worst because the farmhouse seemed to be waiting for something — thunder, lightning, heavy rain, a big fight, something to happen.
As kids do, I soldiered on, not having words or systems to manage anything otherwise. My sisters reacted similarly. We did not discuss it. At the dinner table, we had my mother’s home-canned green beans quietly, accompanied with apples. When school started, I packed three apples for lunch every day, because there were plenty in the basement: towers of boxes full of apples, bought at the Bargain Bin for a song. Kids made fun of me in the cafeteria, and I shouted at them: “Shut up. It’s just that I love apples.”
Early in November, my teacher Miss Troutman pulled me aside secretly. She gave me two gifts. The first was a ham sandwich. The second was a journal book.
I don’t know how she knew my situation. Perhaps it was my bony legs and dirty, too-short jeans. Perhaps she saw the apples. Maybe she just guessed. Regardless, she found a way to help me without hurting me or making me talk about my breaking heart. She offered dignity and kindness, making me filled with gratitude now. “Silly me,” she said. “I accidentally made an extra sandwich this morning. Could you do me a favor to have this extra one?”
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。
With it, she handed me a beautiful black leather journal book.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Miss Troutman made many accidental sandwiches that year.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 With it, she handed me a beautiful black leather journal book. It had thick with pages of unlined white paper. “You don’t need to show it to me as you write. It can be private. Your very own.” I’d long wanted to journal but didn’t have a special place to do it. When there is no money for regular food, let alone for a journal book. I took it home and began experimenting as a poet, a writer, an artist, a dreamer — a little person who could imagine a better ending to the story.
Miss Troutman made many accidental sandwiches that year. She would fill a lot of hams between the slices. She would put it into my lunch box when no one was looking. She tried her every effort to protect a little kid’s delicate heart. Kids usually feel hurt in different forms, such as hunger, physical pain, loneliness, fear, and all sorts of other horrible, painful things. And kids often want to deal with it alone, but they may need someone to notice, and Miss Troutman is the ones to do just that.
