About once a week, a veterinarian (兽医) Kwane Stewart heads down to San Diego’s East Village to make his rounds, serving the dogs, cats and birds who are the treasured pets of downtown’s homeless community.
Stewart’s parents were huge animal lovers. By age 6, he knew he wanted to be a vet. After graduation from a Colorado veterinary science program, he spent the next decade as a veterinarian. In 2008, he worked as head veterinarian at a country-run animal shelter in an area struck by the Great Recession. He saw pets abandoned and the work was extremely depressing. Four years into the shelter job, Stewart said he was burned out with guilt and ready to quit.
Then one morning on his way to work, he saw a homeless man and a dog. He treated the dog’s skin condition and the animal was transformed. The owner was beyond grateful and said, “Thanks for not ignoring me and for treating my dog.” “That was the moment for me. I got back to saving animals and doing it on my own terms.” Stewart said.
A few weeks later he set up a pop-up veterinary clinic at a soup kitchen, and when clients there suggested he take his services further, his new job as “Street Vet” began. In addition to treating common diseases, Stewart often provides vaccinations (接种疫苗) and general wellness checks. He also promotes “fear-free” pet care. Many of the people Stewart serves are not just grateful for the help but also form a deep bond with him, seeing him as someone who not only treats their pets but also acknowledges their humanity.
“I can dream a little bit that people from all over the world will want to emulate what I do. ”Stewart said. Right now, he is building a network of trusted volunteers, technicians with hospitals and clinics. “These are all people who just reached out and said, ‘I’m inspired by what you do. How do I do it?’” he said.

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“About once a week, a veterinarian Kwane Stewart heads down to San Diego’s East Village to make his rounds, serving the dogs, cats and birds who are the treasured pets of downtown's homeless community. (大约每周一次,兽医克瓦恩·斯图尔特前往圣地亚哥的东村巡视,为市中心无家可归者社区珍爱的宠物狗、猫和鸟提供服务。)”可知,斯图尔特目前的工作是照料无家可归者的宠物。故选D项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“He saw pets abandoned and the work was extremely depressing. Four years into the shelter job, Stewart said he was burned out with guilt and ready to quit.( 他看到宠物被遗弃,工作非常令人沮丧。在收容所工作了四年后,斯图尔特说他感到内疚,准备辞职。)”以及第三段“Then one morning on his way to work, he saw a homeless man and a dog. He treated the dog's skin condition and the animal was transformed. The owner was beyond grateful and said, “Thanks for not ignoring me and for treating my dog. ” “That was the moment for me. I got back to saving animals and doing it on my own terms. ” Stewart said.( 一天早上,在他上班的路上,他看到一个无家可归的人和一条狗。他治疗了狗的皮肤状况,这只动物被治疗了。主人非常感激地说:“谢谢你没有忽视我,还照顾我的狗。”“对我来说就是那个时刻。我重新开始拯救动物,并按照自己的方式去做。”斯图尔特说。)”和第四段中“A few weeks later he set up a pop-up veterinary clinic at a soup kitchen, and when clients there suggested he take his services further, his new job as “Street Vet” began.(几周后,他在一个施舍处开了一家临时兽医诊所,当那里的客户建议他进一步提供服务时,他的新工作“街头兽医”开始了。)”可推知,文章先讲述斯图尔特在动物收容所的工作经历,因看到宠物被遗弃而感到沮丧,几乎要辞职。之后遇到一位无家可归者和他的狗,给狗治疗后,斯图尔特决定以自己的方式拯救动物,开启了街头兽医的工作。所以提及收容所工作是为了解释他职业重心的转变。故选A项。

A wave of startups say seaweed is a solution to climate change - able to absorb atmospheric carbon, provide raw materials for biofuels, and feed the world - no fertilizers (化肥), fresh water, or even land required. Running Tide, a Maine-based company, is working on a system that will eventually sink the buoys (浮标), attached with long locks of seaweed, to the deep ocean floor, where the carbon they contain will remain stored for 800 years or more.
Running Tide was founded by Marty Odlin, an engineer and fourth-generation commercial fisherman. The Gulf of Maine is warming faster than nearly every other oceanic region, and Odlin has seen the changes firsthand. About 15 years ago, Odlin heard a talk from Klaus Lackner - the physicist who popularised the idea of removing carbon from the atmosphere. It clicked. “It was like, oh, this is right because there’s no way we ’ re going to get off fossil (化石的) fuels in the next 50 years, ” he recalls thinking. “We’ re going to have to pull it down.”
Using seaweed to draw down carbon would be an elegant solution - if it works. Seaweed forests collectively cover an estimated two million square kilometers and absorb as much carbon as the Amazon rainforest. But much of that storage is short-lived. When the seaweed is harvested, eaten by animals, or washes ashore, its stored carbon is released back into the atmosphere. Running Tide’s model, in theory at least, would take that stored carbon and sink it to the ocean floor where it would remain for centuries, breaking down slowly.
Some scientists are careful about rushing ahead before fundamental scientific, environmental, and regulatory questions are answered. “Climate change is intensifying, and people are panicking, ”says Kristen Davis, a professor of University of California Irvine, “but the science is not there yet to actually confirm that it’s a good idea. ”
8. What can we learn about Running Tide's system?
A. It removes carbon from seaweed.
B It turns seaweed into fertilizers.
C. It sinks seaweed into the ocean floor.
D. It stores seaweed as food sources.
9. What did Lackner's speech lead Odlin to do?
A. Monitor changes in oceanic regions. B. Reduce commercial fishing industry.
C. Set restrictions on the use of fossil fuels. D. Remove carbon from the atmosphere.
10. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. Steps of a carbon replacement method. B. The underlying logic of sinking seaweeds.
C. Examples of massive seaweed forests. D. The carbon absorbing ability of seaweeds.
11. Why does the author quote Kristen Davis?
A. To prove Odlin's opinion. B. To emphasise the climate crisis.
C. To advocate scientists' cooperation. D. To present the issue objectively.
【答案】8 C 9. D 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了利用海藻对抗气候变化的新兴创业项目和其背后的科学原理、挑战及专家观点。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“Running Tide, a Maine-based company, is working on a system that will eventually sink the buoys (浮标), attached with long locks of seaweed, to the deep ocean floor (总部位于缅因州的奔潮公司正在研究一种系统,该系统最终将这些附着着长串海藻的浮标沉入海底)”可知,该系统会将海草沉入海底。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“About 15 years ago, Odlin heard a talk from Klaus Lackner - the physicist who popularized the idea of removing carbon from the atmosphere. It clicked. ‘It was like, oh, this is right because there’s no way we’re going to get off fossil fuels in the next 50 years,’ he recalls thinking. ‘We’re going to have to pull it down.’ (大约15年前,Odlin听了物理学家Klaus Lackner的演讲,Lackner普及了从大气中去除碳的想法。Odlin听后觉得很有道理,认为在接下来的50年里,我们无法摆脱化石燃料,因此我们必须从大气中去除碳。)”可知,Lackner的演讲促使Odlin想要从大气中去除碳。故选D。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段内容“Using seaweed to draw down carbon would be an elegant solution - if it works. Seaweed forests collectively cover an estimated two million square kilometers and absorb as much carbon as the Amazon rainforest. But much of that storage is short-lived. When the seaweed is harvested, eaten by animals, or washes ashore, its stored carbon is released back into the atmosphere. Running Tide’s model, in theory at least, would take that stored carbon and sink it to the ocean floor where it would remain for centuries, breaking down slowly. (使用海藻来减少碳排放将是一个优雅的解决方案——如果它有效的话。海藻林总共覆盖了大约200万平方公里,吸收的碳与亚马逊雨林一样多。但是大部分的储存都是短暂的。当海藻被收割、被动物吃掉或被冲上岸时,其储存的碳被释放回大气中。至少在理论上,奔流大潮的模型会把储存的碳带到海底,在那里它们可以保存数百年,慢慢分解。)”可知,这段主要讲述了下沉海藻的基本逻辑,B选项“海藻下沉的潜在逻辑”可以概括本段的主要内容。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Some scientists are careful about rushing ahead before fundamental scientific, environmental, and regulatory questions are answered. ‘Climate change is intensifying, and people are panicking,’ says Kristen Davis, a professor of University of California Irvine, ‘but the science is not there yet to actually confirm that it’s a good idea.’ (一些科学家对在基本的科学、环境和监管问题得到解答之前仓促行动持谨慎态度。加州大学欧文分校教授克里斯汀•戴维斯说,气候变化正在加剧,人们感到恐慌,但科学还没有真正证实这是个好想法。)”可知,克里斯汀•戴维斯指出一些基础科学、环境和监管问题未解决前就匆忙推进利用海草解决气候变化问题并不明智,因为科学依据还不足,所以作者引用她的话是为了从另一个角度客观地呈现这一问题,避免只强调利用海草解决问题的积极面。故选D。
D
Wearables are back in the spotlight in 2024, becoming one of the trendiest topics in the tech world. Beyond tracking steps, heart rate and blood-oxygen levels, future wearable devices will take the form of smart glasses or futuristic spectacles (眼镜), reflecting the tech industry's drive to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into these innovative devices.
As reported by The Information, tech companies including OpenAI, Meta, Google and Snapchat are all competing to launch AI-powered smart glasses that respond intelligently to users’ visual input. Earlier this year, Snapchat previewed its revolutionary (革命性的) AI-powered glasses with camera and video functions, Meta has introduced experimental AI object recognition in Ray-Ban smart spectacles, which could answer questions like “Is this a tea caffeine-tree?” by taking a photo and analysing it.
The power behind this revolution lies in the new multimodal AI technology, which creates responses by integrating multiple sources of data including images, texts, and other forms of data. It expands on most users’ experiences of using text-only AI chatbots and would be a natural fit for smart spectacles with front-looking cameras.
However, AI systems aren’t all-powerful and still have many shortcomings. During testing, Meta’s Ray-Ban smart spectacles were found to “hallucinate”, seeing-things that weren’t really there. There are also legal concerns surrounding these devices. Small companies may find it difficult to manage employees using AI-powered face-worn cameras. The business risks are complex. Google faced similar trouble with its Glass device, being questioned by authorities on privacy issues. If new smart glasses become popular, such problems will reappear.
Despite these challenges, the wearable AI revolution holds great promise. New opportunities should crop up for small businesses to develop adaptable apps and access the growing wearables market. With an estimated annual growth rate of nearly 15 percent until 2030, the global wearables market is expected to outperform that of the smartphones. As this revolutionary technology unfolds, it will be interesting to see how it shapes our lives and businesses.
12. How does the author demonstrate the new trend of wearables?
A. By reporting findings. B. By using examples.
C. By making comparisons. D. By raising questions.
13. What makes the revolution possible?
A. AI’s capability to process multimodal data. B. Smart devices’ fast response speed.
C. AI’s advance in object recognition. D. Front-looking cameras’ accuracy.
14. What is a major concern in developing the wearables?
A. Lack in technical innovation. B. Limit on spectacle glasses` clarity.
C. Security of personal information. D. Comfort level of device wearing.
15. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Impact of AI on smart devices. B. Prospect of Al-driven wearables.
C. Growth of the global tech industry. D. Argument of smart glasses technology.

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。
Our swim team always relied on the Snack Bar to raise money for meets and equipment, but Coach Abby had bad news: it would be closed for repairs through August, meaning no money for upcoming events. Everyone was worried. “Does this mean our swim team is canceled?” Noah asked. Coach Abby comforted us, saying we’d still practice, but she wasn’t sure how the meets would be funded.
The next morning, practice felt strange. None of us were swimming our best, and even Coach Abby was worried. During a break, Noah suggested, “If we can’t run the Snack Bar, maybe we can think of other ways to raise money. ”
“Good idea. ” said Ruby. She suggested a karaoke sing-along (卡拉 OK) like what her brother did to raise funds for his school singing club. Tamara recommended a bake sale. “A. fall festival would be fun!” I added, thinking we could have water-themed games on grounds by the swimming pool.
At first, Coach Abby hesitated. But when she saw how excited we were, she agreed, “OK! Let’ s go for it!” We quickly began brainstorming ideas for our Support for Pool Party.
“I’ll bring my karaoke machine. ” Ruby offered. “We could make the microphone look like a fish!” someone added. I suggested a “Fun in the Sun” lemonade stand, and everyone jumped in to help. Soon, we had a plan for the best fundraiser ever, complete with a starfish cookie bake sale. We were ready to make it happen! We spent so much time getting everything ready and talking up our fundraiser to everyone we met that we were positive it would be a great success.
The day before our big event, I was squeezing lemons for lemonade when I saw a very dark cloud outside the kitchen window. “Uh-oh! That’s not a rain cloud, is it?” I asked my mom. “Rain would be a disaster! It could ruin everything. ” “You know what they say, ” she answered. “Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. ” “Hmm, ” I said.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
The next day, I arrived at the pool grounds early. People were already starting to arrive, their faces filled with anticipation. The atmosphere was electric with excitement. The lemonade stand was bustling, with people lining up to taste our “Fun in the Sun” special. Tamara’s starfish cookies were a huge hit, disappearing almost as quickly as they were put out. Unluckily, clouds started to gather. Before we knew it, the rain was pouring down, making it difficult for everyone to seek shelter near the pool.
Facing the sudden rain, we were relieved that we had prepared the big umbrellas. Quickly, we set them up over the karaoke machine, lemonade stand, and bake sale tables. Despite the weather, people didn’t seem to mind. They huddled under the umbrellas, continuing to enjoy the activities and support our cause. By the end of the day, we had made more money than we had ever imagined, and everyone left with a smile on their face. It was a reminder that with preparation, creativity, and a positive attitude, even the worst-case scenarios can turn into unforgettable successes.

About once a week, a veterinarian (兽医) Kwane Stewart heads down to San Diego’s East Village to make his rounds, serving the dogs, cats and birds who are the treasured pets of downtown’s homeless community.
Stewart’s parents were huge animal lovers. By age 6, he knew he wanted to be a vet. After graduation from a Colorado veterinary science program, he spent the next decade as a veterinarian. In 2008, he worked as head veterinarian at a country-run animal shelter in an area struck by the Great Recession. He saw pets abandoned and the work was extremely depressing. Four years into the shelter job, Stewart said he was burned out with guilt and ready to quit.
Then one morning on his way to work, he saw a homeless man and a dog. He treated the dog’s skin condition and the animal was transformed. The owner was beyond grateful and said, “Thanks for not ignoring me and for treating my dog.” “That was the moment for me. I got back to saving animals and doing it on my own terms.” Stewart said.
A few weeks later he set up a pop-up veterinary clinic at a soup kitchen, and when clients there suggested he take his services further, his new job as “Street Vet” began. In addition to treating common diseases, Stewart often provides vaccinations (接种疫苗) and general wellness checks. He also promotes “fear-free” pet care. Many of the people Stewart serves are not just grateful for the help but also form a deep bond with him, seeing him as someone who not only treats their pets but also acknowledges their humanity.
“I can dream a little bit that people from all over the world will want to emulate what I do. ”Stewart said. Right now, he is building a network of trusted volunteers, technicians with hospitals and clinics. “These are all people who just reached out and said, ‘I’m inspired by what you do. How do I do it?’” he said.

A wave of startups say seaweed is a solution to climate change - able to absorb atmospheric carbon, provide raw materials for biofuels, and feed the world - no fertilizers (化肥), fresh water, or even land required. Running Tide, a Maine-based company, is working on a system that will eventually sink the buoys (浮标), attached with long locks of seaweed, to the deep ocean floor, where the carbon they contain will remain stored for 800 years or more.
Running Tide was founded by Marty Odlin, an engineer and fourth-generation commercial fisherman. The Gulf of Maine is warming faster than nearly every other oceanic region, and Odlin has seen the changes firsthand. About 15 years ago, Odlin heard a talk from Klaus Lackner - the physicist who popularised the idea of removing carbon from the atmosphere. It clicked. “It was like, oh, this is right because there’s no way we ’ re going to get off fossil (化石的) fuels in the next 50 years, ” he recalls thinking. “We’ re going to have to pull it down.”
Using seaweed to draw down carbon would be an elegant solution - if it works. Seaweed forests collectively cover an estimated two million square kilometers and absorb as much carbon as the Amazon rainforest. But much of that storage is short-lived. When the seaweed is harvested, eaten by animals, or washes ashore, its stored carbon is released back into the atmosphere. Running Tide’s model, in theory at least, would take that stored carbon and sink it to the ocean floor where it would remain for centuries, breaking down slowly.
Some scientists are careful about rushing ahead before fundamental scientific, environmental, and regulatory questions are answered. “Climate change is intensifying, and people are panicking, ”says Kristen Davis, a professor of University of California Irvine, “but the science is not there yet to actually confirm that it’s a good idea. ”
8. What can we learn about Running Tide's system?
A. It removes carbon from seaweed.
B. It turns seaweed into fertilizers.
C. It sinks seaweed into the ocean floor.
D. It stores seaweed as food sources.
9 What did Lackner's speech lead Odlin to do?
A. Monitor changes in oceanic regions. B. Reduce commercial fishing industry.
C. Set restrictions on the use of fossil fuels. D. Remove carbon from the atmosphere.
10. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. Steps of a carbon replacement method. B. The underlying logic of sinking seaweeds.
C. Examples of massive seaweed forests. D. The carbon absorbing ability of seaweeds.
11. Why does the author quote Kristen Davis?
A. To prove Odlin's opinion. B. To emphasise the climate crisis.
C. To advocate scientists' cooperation. D. To present the issue objectively.
D
Wearables are back in the spotlight in 2024, becoming one of the trendiest topics in the tech world. Beyond tracking steps, heart rate and blood-oxygen levels, future wearable devices will take the form of smart glasses or futuristic spectacles (眼镜), reflecting the tech industry's drive to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into these innovative devices.
As reported by The Information, tech companies including OpenAI, Meta, Google and Snapchat are all competing to launch AI-powered smart glasses that respond intelligently to users’ visual input. Earlier this year, Snapchat previewed its revolutionary (革命性的) AI-powered glasses with camera and video functions, Meta has introduced experimental AI object recognition in Ray-Ban smart spectacles, which could answer questions like “Is this a tea caffeine-tree?” by taking a photo and analysing it.
The power behind this revolution lies in the new multimodal AI technology, which creates responses by integrating multiple sources of data including images, texts, and other forms of data. It expands on most users’ experiences of using text-only AI chatbots and would be a natural fit for smart spectacles with front-looking cameras.
However, AI systems aren’t all-powerful and still have many shortcomings. During testing, Meta’s Ray-Ban smart spectacles were found to “hallucinate”, seeing-things that weren’t really there. There are also legal concerns surrounding these devices. Small companies may find it difficult to manage employees using AI-powered face-worn cameras. The business risks are complex. Google faced similar trouble with its Glass device, being questioned by authorities on privacy issues. If new smart glasses become popular, such problems will reappear.
Despite these challenges, the wearable AI revolution holds great promise. New opportunities should crop up for small businesses to develop adaptable apps and access the growing wearables market. With an estimated annual growth rate of nearly 15 percent until 2030, the global wearables market is expected to outperform that of the smartphones. As this revolutionary technology unfolds, it will be interesting to see how it shapes our lives and businesses.
12. How does the author demonstrate the new trend of wearables?
A. By reporting findings. B. By using examples.
C. By making comparisons. D. By raising questions.
13. What makes the revolution possible?
A. AI’s capability to process multimodal data. B. Smart devices’ fast response speed.
C. AI’s advance in object recognition. D. Front-looking cameras’ accuracy.
14. What is a major concern in developing the wearables?
A. Lack in technical innovation. B. Limit on spectacle glasses` clarity.
C. Security of personal information. D. Comfort level of device wearing.
15. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Impact of AI on smart devices. B. Prospect of Al-driven wearables.
C. Growth of the global tech industry. D. Argument of smart glasses technology.

Our swim team always relied on the Snack Bar to raise money for meets and equipment, but Coach Abby had bad news: it would be closed for repairs through August, meaning no money for upcoming events. Everyone was worried. “Does this mean our swim team is canceled?” Noah asked. Coach Abby comforted us, saying we’d still practice, but she wasn’t sure how the meets would be funded.
The next morning, practice felt strange. None of us were swimming our best, and even Coach Abby was worried. During a break, Noah suggested, “If we can’t run the Snack Bar, maybe we can think of other ways to raise money. ”
“Good idea. ” said Ruby. She suggested a karaoke sing-along (卡拉 OK) like what her brother did to raise funds for his school singing club. Tamara recommended a bake sale. “A. fall festival would be fun!” I added thinking we could have water-themed games on grounds by the swimming pool.
At first, Coach Abby hesitated. But when she saw how excited we were, she agreed, “OK! Let’ s go for it!” We quickly began brainstorming ideas for our Support for Pool Party.
“I’ll bring my karaoke machine. ” Ruby offered. “We could make the microphone look like a fish!” someone added. I suggested a “Fun in the Sun” lemonade stand, and everyone jumped in to help. Soon, we had a plan for the best fundraiser ever, complete with a starfish cookie bake sale. We were ready to make it happen! We spent so much time getting everything ready and talking up our fundraiser to everyone we met that we were positive it would be a great success.
The day before our big event, I was squeezing lemons for lemonade when I saw a very dark cloud outside the kitchen window. “Uh-oh! That’s not a rain cloud, is it?” I asked my mom. “Rain would be a disaster! It could ruin everything. ” “You know what they say, ” she answered. “Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. ” “Hmm, ” I said.
