TikTokers have shown their love and support for a woman who was left “heartbroken” after her farm was sabotaged. Carly Burd, from Harlow, England, found the soil covered in salt and posted a touching video about the incident on TikTok.
Burd, who has Multiple Sclerosis and Lupus (多发性硬化症和狼疮), told viewers she believed someone went onto her plot of land and placed salt to destroy the work that she’s put in to help feed people in need.
Last November, Burd began posting about her “A Meal on Me with Love”. “I changed my garden into a place to provide those on benefits, pensioners (领养老金的人) on state pension and those on a low income free organic fruit and vegetables plus other necessities of life. They receive a large box that contains necessities plus enough food, fruit, vegetables,rice, breakfast etc. for the number of people in the household,” Burd said. Up till now she’s fed more than 1,600 people among the cost of living crisis in the UK.
After Burd shared her heartbreak on TikTok, users began providing lots of donations, advice, and support. Burd’s “A Meal on Me with Love” has been flooded with donations in light of this incident.
As of Thursday morning, Burd’s GoFundMe campaign has raised £184,777 of its first £4,000 goal. “The world needs more people like you,” one person wrote with a $15 donation. “Your love and kindness for humanity is amazing. All of us would be so lucky to cross paths with someone like you in a time of need,” another person commented with a $10 donation.
Burd said in an update that with the help of others she was able to dig up a lot of the salt and cover it with topsoil to neutralize (中和) it. “I’m really losing my head by everyone’s comments and everything,” she said. “I really do appreciate it — thank you.”

Art is a reflection of society and culture. It helps us understand what we are as human beings and influences how we relate to each other. It’s also an expression of creativity that can be used for self-reflection or social influence.
Art is important to individuals for many different reasons. Art is highly subjective and also very personal and has long been a medium where individuals can express their feelings and emotions.
For many people, art has always been a part of their lives and is an essential part of their personality or who they are. Art has the ability to help people get through some of the hardest times in their lives.
Art helps people connect with one another on a deeper level, whether by speaking your language or by imagining your thoughts differently. Some artworks speak to someone more than others, and everyone will have a piece of art that is particularly important or special to them.
Art has been a part of human culture for many centuries. It has been used to express emotions, to communicate ideas and it has been a way to pass down knowledge from one generation to another. So it is important in our cultural and social lives. Art also plays a role in recording history, and many artworks help us paint a picture of what life was like in previous generations.
Art is also particularly important as a symbol of culture across the world. Research has shown that art can affect the basic sense of self. Folk arts for example, are highly unique to specific cultures and tell the history and rich traditions of a region. Painting, architecture, art sculpture, music, literature and many other fine arts can be considered a repository (宝库) of a given society’s collective memory.
8. What can art help people do according to the text?
A. Deal with tough times. B. Make more money.
C. Control their feelings. D. Connect with art works.
9. What can we infer from Paragraph 5?
A. Art gives us an idea of how people lived in the past.
B. The value of artworks hasn’t been discovered until now.
C. Art is the best way to pass down knowledge in old times.
D. People only use artworks to express feelings instead of words.
10. How does the author develop the last paragraph?
A. By providing numbers. B. By giving an example.
C. By exploring reasons. D. By having a discussion.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Why Is Art Important? B. Learn History from Art
C. Where Can We Find Artworks? D. Pass Down the Artworks
【答案】8. A 9. A 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了艺术对于个人以及我们的历史文化传承的重要性,它是个人表达和情感宣泄的媒介,也是人类文化传承和历史记录的工具。艺术帮助人们建立深层次的联系,影响自我意识,并在不同文化中作为集体记忆的储存库。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Art has the ability to help people get through some of the hardest times in their lives. (艺术有能力帮助人们度过生命中最艰难的时刻)”可知,艺术可以帮助人们应对艰难时刻。故选A项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“Art also plays a role in recording history, and many artworks help us paint a picture of what life was like in previous generations. (艺术在记录历史方面也起着作用,许多艺术品帮助我们描绘出前几代人的生活)”可推知,艺术让我们了解过去人们是如何生活的。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Research has shown that art can affect the basic sense of self. Folk arts, for example, are highly unique to specific cultures and tell the history and rich traditions of a region. (研究表明,艺术可以影响基本的自我意识。例如,民间艺术对特定的文化来说是非常独特的,它讲述了一个地区的历史和丰富的传统)”可知,本段是通过举例子来阐述观点。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第二段中“Art is important to individuals for many different reasons. (艺术对个人来说很重要的原因有很多)”、第五段中“Art has been a part of human culture for many centuries. (几个世纪以来,艺术一直是人类文化的一部分)”和最后一段中“Art is also particularly important as a symbol of culture across the world. (艺术作为世界文化的象征也尤为重要)”可知,文章主要从个人和社会集体两个方面,介绍了艺术对于个人以及我们的历史文化传承的重要性。因此,A项“为什么艺术很重要?”最契合文章主旨,适合作为文章标题。故选A项。

When we talk about plastic rubbish polluting the earth, we don’t often talk about the environmental impacts caused by fast-food packaging. Actually, this packaging is often coated with environmentally damaging chemicals. Recently researchers from Flinders University and German biomaterials developer, one·five, have started using seaweed (海草) to solve the packaging waste problem of the fast-food industry.
Using seaweed to create sustainable (可持续的) alternatives to existing products isn’t a new concept. The idea of turning seaweed into a material to replace bubble wrap (气泡膜包装) was put forward more than seven years ago. This time, the Flinders University materials researchers andone·five are using seaweed extracts (提取物) to develop next-generation coating materials.
In fact, these new non-pollutive biomaterials are designed to replace the traditional fossil-based plastic coatings that are used in most oil-proof fast-food packaging. The new coating not only meets the required functionality standards of traditional oil-proof packaging materials but also works to create an environmentally sustainable solution. It is as recyclable as paper, explains Dr Zhongfan Jia, a lead researcher from the Flinders Institute.
“The seaweed extracts have a similar structure to the natural fibres from which paper is made,” says Dr Jia.
“Our novel treatments boost the oil-proof feature of the seaweed through simple adaptation while neither affecting the biodegradability (生物降解力) nor recyclability of the coated paper”
“The product could be great news for the environment. We are able to reduce harmful plastic pollution with it,” says Claire Gusko, co-founder of one· five.
Now Flinders University and one·five are trying mass production from the laboratory to the factory.
Although achievements like this are definitely worth celebrating, we can’t just stop at seaweed packaging. We need to use seaweed and other sustainable tools to effectively help reduce our environmental impacts and make real changes.
12. What’re researchers from Flinder University and one five doing?
A. Producing seaweed extracts. B. Solving the food waste problem.
C. Turning seaweed into bubble wrap. D. Using seaweed to develop new coating materials.
13. What is the traditional plastic coating like?
A. Cheap. B. Oil-proof. C. Recyclable. D. Sustainable.
14. What do we know about the seaweed extract coating?
A. It is a novel concept. B. It has been put on the market.
C. It is environmentally friendly. D. It is coated with damaging material.
15. Why does the author write the text?
A. To stop people from using plastic package.
B. To advertise for a new environmentally friendly product.
C. To introduce a replacement for traditional packaging material.
D. To warn readers of the environmental impacts caused by fast-food packaging.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。快餐包装纸上的塑料涂膜也会造成污染,为了解决这一问题,研究者尝试用海草提取物来制作涂膜。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“This time, the Flinders University materials researchers and one five are using seaweed extracts (提取物) to develop next-generation coating materials.(这一次,弗林德斯大学的材料研究人员正在使用海藻提取物开发下一代涂层材料)”可知,研究者和one five正在使用海藻提取物开发下一代涂层材料。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The new coating not only meets the required functionality standards of traditional oil-proof packaging materials but also works to create an environmentally sustainable solution.(这种新型涂层不仅符合传统防油包装材料所要求的功能标准,而且还创造了一种环境可持续的解决方案)”可知,传统的包装是防油的。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段“The product could be great news for the environment. We are able to reduce harmful plastic pollution with it(该产品对环境来说可能是个好消息。我们可以用它减少有害的塑料污染)”可知,新的涂膜是环保的。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Recently researchers from Flinders University and German biomaterials developer, one five, have started using seaweed (海草) to solve the packaging waste problem of the fast-food industry.(最近,弗林德斯大学和德国生物材料开发商one - five的研究人员开始使用海藻来解决快餐业的包装垃圾问题)”结合本文介绍的是用海草提取物制作的涂膜来代替传统的塑料涂膜可知,作者写文章是为了引入传统包装材料的替代品。故选C。

【答案】
Body language plays an important role in people’s daily interaction with others. Not only can it help you make yourself more easily understood but it also makes you adjust to new environment as soon as possible.
How do we put body language to good use? First and foremost, when communicating with others, you need to keep smile and maintain eye contact. This will show others that you are a good listener and in turn they will listen to you. What’s more, while listening to others, you need to nod your head from time to time to demonstrate that you’re paying attention. Last but not least, you’re encouraged to use gestures to express your thoughts.

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。
Mia sat alone on the bus. Her older sister, Nina, was one seat ahead, acting as if this was the best day ever. But for Mia, it was the worst. It was the last day of swimming lessons. Test Day.
“If I pass my test, I can sign up for Junior Lifeguarding over the summer,” Mia heard Nina telling her friend Julia. “You’ re the best swimmer in the class, Nina,” Julia said. “There’s just no way you wouldn’t pass.” Mia angrily kicked the back of their seat with her foot. “I thought sisters were supposed to be there for each other,” she whispered.
An hour later, she held onto the edge of the pool, shivering (瑟瑟发抖). “For the last part of the test, you’ll all be swimming the width of the pool using the crawl stroke (自由泳),” the instructor, Michael, told the class. “Can we swim in the shallow end?” Mia asked. “Nope,” Michael said. “To pass Level 4, it has to be the deep end.” Mia was anxious. She didn’t know if she could swim all the way across without touching the bottom. “I’ll be watching from the other side,” Michael said. “Ready?” No! Mia thought. But Michael put the whistle to his lips and blew. Mia took a deep breath and pushed off. And Nina swam as light as the kickboard floating and passed the test very soon. But where was Mia?
After a minute, Nina spotted her sister crossing the pool. Mia was way behind the others, and Nina could see why. For one thing, she lifted her whole head out of the water to breathe, instead of turning it to the side. That was a waste of energy. Even worse, she wasn’t swimming straight.
When Mia stopped to check her position, her heart sank. Only halfway across! Some kids in her class were already at the wall, laughing and talking. Michael was bending over to talk to one of the kids. He didn’t see her. “Better keep going,” she thought. But she was tired.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

Nina kept her eyes on her sister’s slow progress.

Michael was about to jump in to help her when Mia felt strong arms holding her from behind.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
Nina kept her eyes on her sister’s slow progress. Stroke, stroke, breathe. Three-fourths of the way across, Mia stopped again. As Nina watched, Mia’ s head dipped briefly underwater before it resurfaced. Uh-oh, thought Nina. Her sister was in trouble, and she had to help. She kicked off the bottom and started towards Mia. Mia swallowed a mouthful of water and coughed. She felt as if she’ d been swimming for hours. If only someone would see she was too tired to keep going. She scanned the edge of the pool for Michael. This time, he saw her. His eyes narrowed.
Michael was about to jump in to help her when Mia felt strong arms holding her from behind. “Lie back,” her sister’s voice said. “I’ve got you.” Mia pulled the towel tight around her shoulders. “You know,” Nina said, “next time we go to the pool, I could give you some tips. I’ll teach you the right way to breathe so you don’t get so tired. With a little more practice, I know you can pass Level 4.” “You’ll make a good lifeguard someday,” Mia said. Nina smiled. “Really?” Mia nodded. “Yeah. And you’re already a good sister.”

TikTokers have shown their love and support for a woman who was left “heartbroken” after her farm was sabotaged. Carly Burd from Harlow, England, found the soil covered in salt and posted a touching video about the incident on TikTok.
Burd, who has Multiple Sclerosis and Lupus (多发性硬化症和狼疮), told viewers she believed someone went onto her plot of land and placed salt to destroy the work that she’s put in to help feed people in need.
Last November, Burd began posting about her “A Meal on Me with Love”. “I changed my garden into a place to provide those on benefits, pensioners (领养老金的人) on state pension and those on a low income free organic fruit and vegetables plus other necessities of life. They receive a large box that contains necessities plus enough food, fruit, vegetables,rice, breakfast etc. for the number of people in the household,” Burd said. Up till now she’s fed more than 1,600 people among the cost of living crisis in the UK.
After Burd shared her heartbreak on TikTok, users began providing lots of donations, advice, and support. Burd’s “A Meal on Me with Love” has been flooded with donations in light of this incident.
As of Thursday morning, Burd’s GoFundMe campaign has raised £184,777 of its first £4,000 goal. “The world needs more people like you,” one person wrote with a $15 donation. “Your love and kindness for humanity is amazing. All of us would be so lucky to cross paths with someone like you in a time of need,” another person commented with a $10 donation.
Burd said in an update that with the help of others she was able to dig up a lot of the salt and cover it with topsoil to neutralize (中和) it. “I’m really losing my head by everyone’s comments and everything,” she said. “I really do appreciate it — thank you.”
4. What does the underlined word “sabotaged” probably mean in Paragraph 1?
A. Visited. B. Found. C. Destroyed. D. Protected.
5. What is “A Meal on Me with Love” in the text?
A. A moving video. B. A beautiful garden.
C. A charity activity. D. A friendly restaurant.
6. Which can best describe Burd according to the text?
A. Brave. B. Caring. C. Honest. D. Flexible.
7. What can we learn from the text?
A. The garden is beyond repair.
B. People online offered Burd great support and help.

Art is important to individuals for many different reasons. Art is highly subjective and also very personal and has long been a medium where individuals can express their feelings and emotions.
For many people, art has always been a part of their lives and is an essential part of their personality or who they are. Art has the ability to help people get through some of the hardest times in their lives.
Art helps people connect with one another on a deeper level, whether by speaking your language or by imagining your thoughts differently. Some artworks speak to someone more than others, and everyone will have a piece of art that is particularly important or special to them.
Art has been a part of human culture for many centuries. It has been used to express emotions, to communicate ideas and it has been a way to pass down knowledge from one generation to another. So it is important in our cultural and social lives. Art also plays a role in recording history, and many artworks help us paint a picture of what life was like in previous generations.
Art is also particularly important as a symbol of culture across the world. Research has shown that art can affect the basic sense of self. Folk arts, for example, are highly unique to specific cultures and tell the history and rich traditions of a region. Painting, architecture, art sculpture, music, literature and many other fine arts can be considered a repository (宝库) of a given society’s collective memory.

When we talk about plastic rubbish polluting the earth, we don’t often talk about the environmental impacts caused by fast-food packaging. Actually, this packaging is often coated with environmentally damaging chemicals. Recently researchers from Flinders University and German biomaterials developer, one·five, have started using seaweed (海草) to solve the packaging waste problem of the fast-food industry.
Using seaweed to create sustainable (可持续的) alternatives to existing products isn’t a new concept. The idea of turning seaweed into a material to replace bubble wrap (气泡膜包装) was put forward more than seven years ago. This time, the Flinders University materials researchers andone·five are using seaweed extracts (提取物) to develop next-generation coating materials.
In fact, these new non-pollutive biomaterials are designed to replace the traditional fossil-based plastic coatings that are used in most oil-proof fast-food packaging. The new coating not only meets the required functionality standards of traditional oil-proof packaging materials but also works to create an environmentally sustainable solution. It is as recyclable as paper, explains Dr Zhongfan Jia, a lead researcher from the Flinders Institute.
“The seaweed extracts have a similar structure to the natural fibres from which paper is made,” says Dr Jia.
“Our novel treatments boost the oil-proof feature of the seaweed through simple adaptation while neither affecting the biodegradability (生物降解力) nor recyclability of the coated paper.”
“The product could be great news for the environment. We are able to reduce harmful plastic pollution with it,” says Claire Gusko, co-founder of one· five.
Now Flinders University and one·five are trying mass production from the laboratory to the factory.
Although achievements like this are definitely worth celebrating, we can’t just stop at seaweed packaging. We need to use seaweed and other sustainable tools to effectively help reduce our environmental impacts and make real changes.
12. What’re researchers from Flinder University and one five doing?
A. Producing seaweed extracts. B. Solving the food waste problem.
C. Turning seaweed into bubble wrap. D. Using seaweed to develop new coating materials.
13. What is the traditional plastic coating like?
A. Cheap. B. Oil-proof. C. Recyclable. D. Sustainable.
14. What do we know about the seaweed extract coating?
A. It is a novel concept. B. It has been put on the market.
C. It is environmentally friendly. D. It is coated with damaging material.
15. Why does the author write the text?
A. To stop people from using plastic package.
B. To advertise for a new environmentally friendly product.
C. To introduce a replacement for traditional packaging material.
D. To warn readers of the environmental impacts caused by fast-food packaging.

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。
Mia sat alone on the bus. Her older sister, Nina, was one seat ahead, acting as if this was the best day ever. But for Mia, it was the worst. It was the last day of swimming lessons. Test Day.
“If I pass my test, I can sign up for Junior Lifeguarding over the summer,” Mia heard Nina telling her friend Julia. “You’ re the best swimmer in the class, Nina,” Julia said. “There’s just no way you wouldn’t pass.” Mia angrily kicked the back of their seat with her foot. “I thought sisters were supposed to be there for each other,” she whispered.
An hour later, she held onto the edge of the pool, shivering (瑟瑟发抖). “For the last part of the test, you’ll all be swimming the width of the pool using the crawl stroke (自由泳),” the instructor, Michael, told the class. “Can we swim in the shallow end?” Mia asked. “Nope,” Michael said. “To pass Level 4, it has to be the deep end.” Mia was anxious. She didn’t know if she could swim all the way across without touching the bottom. “I’ll be watching from the other side,” Michael said. “Ready?” No! Mia thought. But Michael put the whistle to his lips and blew. Mia took a deep breath and pushed off. And Nina swam as light as the kickboard floating and passed the test very soon. But where was Mia?
After a minute, Nina spotted her sister crossing the pool. Mia was way behind the others, and Nina could see why. For one thing, she lifted her whole head out of the water to breathe, instead of turning it to the side. That was a waste of energy. Even worse, she wasn’t swimming straight.
When Mia stopped to check her position, her heart sank. Only halfway across! Some kids in her class were already at the wall, laughing and talking. Michael was bending over to talk to one of the kids. He didn’t see her. “Better keep going,” she thought. But she was tired.
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。
Nina kept her eyes on her sister’s slow progress.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Michael was about to jump in to help her when Mia felt strong arms holding her from behind.
