Mikuni Fumitaka, a 68-year-old retired resident of the Tohoku region, lived through one of the most destructive natural disasters in recent history: the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami. On March 11, 2011, Mikuni was at home in his seaside village, following his daily routine, when the ground suddenly shook violently. The intense shakes made it difficult for Mikuni to stay on his feet, and the deafening noise filled the air. The houses around him swayed as if they were make of paper.
As soon as the shakes stopped, Mikuni knew he had to act quickly. He rushed outside and joined his neighbors, heading for higher ground. However, the tsunami wave was already approaching at an alarming speed. The wave swallowed the village, sweeping away homes, cars, and anything else in its path. Mikuni was separated from his neighbors as the powerful currents dragged him in different directions. He grasped a piece of wood, struggling to stay afloat. “I thought I was going to die. I started to think about my family and friends. I couldn’t give up. I had to survive for them,” he says. As night fell, Mikuni was finally rescued by a search and rescue team.
The days following the earthquake and tsunami were a blur of grief and confusion. The village was unrecognizable, reduced to ruins. Many of Mikuni’s friends and neighbors were missing or confirmed dead. The survivors faced the terrifying task of rebuilding their lives from scratch. Mikuni’s home was completely destroyed, and he lost many cherished possessions.
However, Mikuni found comfort in the community’s spirit of cooperation. The survivors worked together to clear debris, share resources, and support one another. The sense of community was incredible, giving them the courage to keep going.
Years have passed since that tragic day, and Mikuni reflects on the journey his community has taken. They have come a long way, with physical and emotional scars (创伤), but they are rebuilding stronger and better.

A. He felt the gentle shakes. B. He rushed to a higher building.
C. He held floating wood to survive. D. He got separated from families.
5. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

We all know fresh is best when it comes to food. However, most produce at the store went through weeks of travel and covered hundreds of miles before reaching the table. While farmer’s markets are a solid choice to reduce the journey, Babylon Micro-Farm (BMF) shortens it even more.
BMF is an indoor garden system. It can be set up for a family. Additionally, it could serve a larger audience such as a hospital, restaurant or school. The innovative design requires little effort to achieve a reliable weekly supply of fresh greens.
Specifically, it’s a farm that relies on new technology. By connecting through the Cloud, BMF is remotely monitored. Also, there is a convenient app that provides growing data in real time. Because the system is automated, it significantly reduces the amount of water needed to grow plants. Rather than watering rows of soil, the system provides just the right amount to each plant. After harvest, users simply replace the plants with a new pre-seeded pod (容器) to get the next growth cycle started.
Moreover, having a system in the same building where it’s eaten means zero emissions (排放) from transporting plants from soil to salad. In addition, there’s no need for pesticides and other chemicals that pollute traditional farms and the surrounding environment.
BMF employees live out sustainability in their everyday lives. About half of them walk or bike to work. Inside the office, they encourage recycling and waste reduction by limiting garbage cans and avoiding single-use plastic. “We are passionate about reducing waste, carbon and chemicals in our environment,” said a BMF employee.
8. What can be learned about BMF from paragraph 1?
A. It guarantees the variety of food. B. It requires day-to-day care.
C. It cuts the farm-to-table distance. D. It relies on farmer’s markets.
9. What information does the convenient app offer?
A. Real-time weather changes. B. Current condition of the plants.
C. Chemical pollutants in the soil. D. Availability of pre-seeded pods.
10. What can be concluded about BMF employees?
A. They have a great passion for sports.
B. They are devoted to community service.
C. They are fond of sharing daily experiences.
D. They have a strong environmental awareness.
11. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. BMF’s major strengths. B. BMF’s general management.
C. BMF’s global influence. D. BMF’s technical standards.

D
The US government is beginning to hand out billions of dollars into infrastructure (基础设施) spending to better the US water system, much of which will go to improving stormwater systems. But some scientists and city planners are pushing to fund projects that are better adapted to the changing climate. Instead of just gray infrastructure, supporters say the answer is green.
Green infrastructure, whether large rain gardens or plants along streets, has the same purpose as big storm pipes: to manage large amounts of water that can build up during heavy rains. That is, when rain storms hit, the water soaks into the rain gardens, which prevents that water from rushing to the streets and sidewalks, thus greatly reducing the pressure on the stormwater system. Green infrastructure can also help when it’s not raining. Summer heat waves are often more dangerous in cities, because concrete (水泥) takes in heat in line with what’s known as the “urban heat island” effect. Plants and parks can provide much needed cooling.
Then why isn’t there more green infrastructure? While both gray and green infrastructure require upfront funding, green infrastructure also requires ongoing costs to repairing it regularly, which can turn out to be a big block to doing it. In addition, the most cost-effective time to build green infrastructure projects is when cities are already doing roadwork. But because the projects are often managed by different departments, working together effectively sometimes seems impossible. Also, some state governments put the need to repair and upgrade gray infrastructure first rather than starting green projects in many communities.
According to Marccus Hendricks assistant professor of city studies and planning at the University of Maryland, although highlighting the significance of green infrastructure is of great importance, it has been a stepchild of the types of systems people pay attention to.
12. Why does the author mention gray infrastructure in paragraph 1?
A. To present a fact. B. To attract the readers.
C. To explain an issue. D. To introduce the topic.
13. What is green infrastructure aimed at?
A. Raising funds for infrastructure. B. Beautifying the city appearances.
C. Replacing the function of storm pipes. D. Easing the stress of the storm water system.
14. What is the current situation of green infrastructure according to Hendricks?
A. It is the primary focus of city planning.
B. It has received much funding to get it upgraded.
C. It hasn’t received enough attention from the officials.
D. It is considered less cost-effective than gray infrastructure.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Green Infrastructure: A Long Way to Go. B. Gray Infrastructure: Time to Knock Out.
C. Green Infrastructure: Prepared to Set Off. D. Gray Infrastructure: A Necessity in Cities.
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了绿色基础设施,它更有利于改善美国的供水系统,但由于费用等原因,没能得到足够的重视,还需要时间发展。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段关键句“But some scientists and city planners are pushing to fund projects that are better adapted to the changing climate. Instead of just gray infrastructure, supporters say the answer is green. (但一些科学家和城市规划者正在推动资助更适应气候变化的项目。支持者说,答案不是灰色的基础设施,而是绿色的。)”可知,文章提到灰色的基础设施,是为了与绿色的基础设施进行对比,引出文章主题,绿色的基础设施更有利,由此可知,作者在第1段中提到灰色基础设施是为了引出文章主题。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“Green infrastructure, whether large rain gardens or plants along streets, has the same purpose as big storm pipes: to manage large amounts of water that can build up during heavy rains. That is, when rain storms hit, the water soaks into the rain gardens, which prevents that water from rushing to the streets and sidewalks, thus greatly reducing the pressure on the storm water system. (绿色基础设施,无论是大型雨水花园还是街道上的植物,都与大型雨水管道有着相同的目的:管理大雨期间可能积聚的大量水。也就是说,当暴雨来袭时,雨水会渗入雨水花园,防止雨水涌向街道和人行道,从而大大减轻了雨水系统的压力。)”可知,绿色基础设施的目标是缓解雨水系统的压力。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段内容“According to Marccus Hendricks, assistant professor of city studies and planning at the University of Maryland, although highlighting the significance of green infrastructure is of great importance, it has been a stepchild of the types of systems people pay attention to. (马里兰大学城市研究与规划助理教授Marccus Hendricks表示,尽管强调绿色基础设施的意义非常重要,但它一直是人们关注的系统类型的继子。)”可知,“stepchild”意为“继子”,表示“受冷落的人或物”,由此可知,人们并不关注绿色基础设施,Hendricks认为绿色基础设施没有得到官员们足够的重视。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第三段关键句“Then why isn’t there more green infrastructure? While both gray and green infrastructure require upfront funding, green infrastructure also requires ongoing costs to repairing it regularly, which can turn out to be a big block to doing it. (那么,为什么没有更多的绿色基础设施呢?虽然灰色和绿色基础设施都需要前期资金,但绿色基础设施也需要定期维修的持续成本,这可能会成为实现这一目标的一大障碍。)”可知,本文主要介绍了绿色基础设施,它更有利于改善美国的供水系统,但由于费用等原因,没能得到足够的重视,还需要时间发展,“Green Infrastructure: A Long Way to Go”意为“绿色基础设施:任重道远”,能够表达文章主要内容。故选A项。

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Boundaries are personal guidelines that define what is and isn’t okay in your interpersonal relationships. As everyone has different needs and comfort levels they may appear different for each person. Having healthy boundaries may provide such benefits as avoiding burnout, boosting self-esteem and maintaining personal space. ____16____ After setting your boundaries, it’s helpful to review them on a regular basis to remain relevant to your life circumstances.
____17____ The way you set them reflects your attitude to taking responsibility in life. Taking the time to think about your wants and needs in different situations will help you understand how your values influence boundary-setting. Once you have made the list of your values, needs, and wants, use that knowledge to establish clear boundaries that respect yourself and those around you.
Once you have identified your boundaries, it is important to communicate them effectively. ____18____ Express your ideas in an open and straightforward manner; speak up for yourself so that others can hear, understand and respect your needs. Additionally, take a step back if tensions arise during a conversation about setting boundaries. Allow yourself or the other person to cool down before restarting the conversation. ____19____
When learning how to set healthy boundaries, it is essential to learn how to say “no”. Saying “yes” to everything can lead to stress, burnout, and frustration. It is important to understand what you consider acceptable and unacceptable, setting limits that reflect those standards. ____20____ If the situation persists, remove yourself from it respectfully. You deserve more than surrounding yourself with people who don’t value your values.
A. Honesty and respect play an essential key role in the process.
B. Initially, you are supposed to identify your personal boundaries.
C. When you feel that someone has crossed your boundaries, remind them.
D. Therefore, setting healthy boundaries is of vital importance in social activities.
E. Keep saying “no” to things you disapprove of helps to understand yourself better.
F. This contributes to finding possible solutions to issues regarding boundary-setting.
G. Pick up the conversation unless there appears another argument needed to be settled.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在人际交往中,健康界限存在的重要性以及该如何拥有健康界限的注意事项。
【16题详解】
设空处为段中句。上文“Having healthy boundaries may provide such benefits as avoiding burnout, boosting self-esteem and maintaining personal space.(拥有健康的界限可能会带来一些好处,比如避免倦怠、增强自尊和保持个人空间)”提到健康界限的好处,下文“After setting your boundaries, it’s helpful to review them on a regular basis to remain relevant to your life circumstances.(在设定了界限之后,定期回顾这些界限是很有帮助的,这样可以让它们与你的生活环境保持联系)”提到在设置好健康界限之后,要注意经常性地回顾,此句应该是设置健康界限的重要性,D项“因此,在社会活动中,设定健康的界限是至关重要的”符合语境,故选D。
【17题详解】
设空处为段首句。根据下一句“The way you set them reflects your attitude to taking responsibility in life.(你设定它们的方式反映了你对生活负责的态度)”中的代词“them”指代和“Taking the time to think about your wants and needs in different situations will help you understand how your values influence boundary-setting.(花点时间想想自己在不同情况下的需求和需求,这将有助于你理解你的价值观是如何影响边界设置的)”可知,设空处应该指的是“确立健康界限”相关的内容。再结合第三段第一句过渡句“Once you have identified your boundaries, it is important to communicate them effectively.(一旦你确定了你的界限,有效地与他们沟通是很重要的)”可确定,第二段主旨为“identify your boundaries”。B项“首先,你应该确定你的个人界限”符合语境,故选B。

设空处为段中句。根据本段中心句“Once you have identified your boundaries, it is important to communicate them effectively.(一旦你确定了你的界限,有效地与他们沟通是很重要的)”可知,本段强调交流健康界限的重要性。再结合下文内容“Express your ideas in an open and straightforward manner; speak up for yourself so that others can hear, understand and respect your needs.(以开放和直接的方式表达你的想法;为自己说话,这样别人才能听到、理解和尊重你的需求)”介绍该如何去交流——要开放直率、要为自己发声、要学会让步——可知,中间句应该承上启下,说明交流健康界限时应该注意忠于自我和尊重他人。A项“诚实和尊重在这一过程中起着至关重要的作用”符合语境,故选A。
【19题详解】
设空处为段尾句,应承接上文;根据上文“Additionally, take a step back if tensions arise during a conversation about setting boundaries. Allow yourself or the other person to cool down before restarting the conversation.(此外,如果在设定界限的谈话中出现紧张,请退一步。在重新开始谈话之前,让自己或对方冷静下来)”推知,下文应陈述让自己活对方冷静下来的好处。F项“这有助于找到有关边界设置问题的可能解决方案”说明上文保持冷静的意义,故选F。
【20题详解】
设空处为段中句。根据本段中心句“When learning how to set healthy boundaries, it is essential to learn how to say ‘no’.(当学习如何设定健康的界限时,学习如何说‘不’是很重要的)”可知,本段介绍在交流健康界限时“说不”的重要性。根据设空处下一句“If the situation persists, remove yourself from it respectfully.(如果这种情况持续存在,恭敬地从这种情况中脱离)”可知,上一句应该提到一种需要你“说不”的情况,C项“当你觉得有人越界了,提醒他们”符合语境,故选C。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,联合国教科文组织将春节列入人类非物质文化遗产名录,强调其丰富的文化元素和社会实践,体现了中国人民对家庭、自然和谐及美好生活的向往。
【36题详解】
考查一般过去时的被动语态。句意:这一决定是在12月2日至7日于巴拉圭举行的第19届保护非物质文化遗产政府间委员会会议上做出的。句子主语为“The decision”,与“make”之间是被动关系,即“决定被做出”。根据语境,这里描述的是过去发生的事情(12月2日至7日在巴拉圭举行的会议上做出的决定),所以用一般过去时的被动语态was/ were + 过去分词,主语decision为单数,故填was made。
【37题详解】
考查连词。句意:委员会认可了春节广泛的仪式和独特的文化元素,这些元素吸引了整个中国社会的参与。“its wide array of rituals (众多的仪式)”和“unique cultural elements (独特的文化元素)”是并列关系,都用来描述春节被委员会认可的原因,所以用and连接。故填and。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:联合国教科文组织指出,春节标志着中国传统农历新年的开始,涉及多种社会实践,包括祈求好运和家庭团聚的祷告。“mark the start of the traditional Chinese Lunar New Year (标志着中国传统农历新年的开始)”在此处作后置定语修饰“the Spring Festival”,“the Spring Festival”与“mark”之间是主动关系,即“春节标志着……”,所以用现在分词。故填marking。
【39题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:联合国教科文组织指出,春节标志着中国传统农历新年的开始,涉及多种社会实践,包括对好运和家庭团聚的企盼。“including”是介词,后接名词作宾语。“prayer”表示“企盼、希冀”时,为可数名词,这里指各种祈福活动,所以用复数形式。故填prayers。
【40题详解】
考查一般现在时及主谓一致。句意:它还包含了由长辈策划的活动以及由社区组织的节日公共活动。句子主语“It”指代“the Spring Festival”,是第三人称单数,且句子描述的是一般事实,用一般现在时,所以谓语动词feature用第三人称单数形式features。故填features。
【41题详解】
考查过去分词。句意:根据联合国教科文组织的文件记录,与春节相关的知识和习俗通过家庭和社区非正式地传承,同时也通过教育系统正式地传承下去。“associated with the Spring Festival (与春节相关的)”作后置定语,修饰“the knowledge and customs”,“be associated with”表示“与……相关”,这里省略be动词,用过去分词形式associated。故填associated。
【42题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:根据联合国教科文组织的文件记录,与春节相关的知识和习俗通过家庭和社区非正式地传承,同时也通过教育系统正式地传承下去。“pass down”是固定短语,意为“传承;传递”,符合题意,故填down。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:中国文化和旅游部副部长饶权,他带领中国代表团出席了联合国教科文组织会议,对这一认可表示感谢。分析句子结构可知,“___ led the Chinese delegation at the UNESCO session”是一个非限制性定语从句,先行词是“Rao Quan”,指人,在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词who引导。故填who。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意:中国文化和旅游部副部长饶权,他带领中国代表团出席了联合国教科文组织会议,对这一认可表示感谢。定冠词“the”后接名词,“recognize”的名词形式是“recognition”,意为“认可;承认”,为不可数名词,故填recognition。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意:他强调,春节是中国最重要的传统节日,象征着中国人民对更美好生活的希望,对家庭和国家的紧密联系,以及人与自然和谐相处的价值观。“a better life”表示“一种更美好的生活”,故填a。

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。
Jack was new to Woodberry Forest School this year. He carried a secret burden: a stutter (口吃) that often brought about laughter from his classmates. This made him very upset. Shy and reserved. Jack chose to fade into the background rather than draw attention to himself. He felt like an outsider, never quite fitting in.
Jack was eager to exchange ideas with his classmates, but afraid of getting into trouble. Jack's science teacher, Katherine, a warm and caring woman often wearing a smile, noticed Jack's stutter and shyness. She observed how Jack struggled to express himself in class and how he would shy away when called upon to speak.
Determined to lend a hand, Katherine took Jack under her wing, encouraging him to embrace bravery and believe in his own abilities. Subsequently, Katherine adopted a set of systematic methods to help him. She was glad to find the potential in him, the intelligence and creativity that lay hidden beneath his stutter. Whenever possible, Katherine was always ready to praise his efforts, always declaring, "You are so great!” Whenever Jack stumbled over his words, Katherine always smiled at him encouragingly, providing him with the strength to continue. Day by day, Jack found himself speaking with greater confidence and fluency.
One day, Katherine announced that each student should give a presentation of a science project in front of the class. Jack's heart sank, the familiar fear and anxiety wrapping around him. How could he possibly stand before his classmates to give his ideas clearly, knowing that they would laugh at him? As the presentation drew near, Jack's anxiety mounted. Then came the big day. He watched his classmates take turns to walk up to the front. They gave their presentation with confidence and backed to their seats with satisfaction. However, while Jack was waiting for his turn, his heart beat so violently that he felt as if he were sitting on pins and needles.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
It was finally his turn.

Paragraph 2:
When Jack finished his presentation, the room erupted into applause.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】It was finally his turn. Jack stood up slowly and edged towards the front, his hands trembling. His classmates looked on, ready to see what was in store for Jack. He stood there tongue-tied with his face turning pale. When he looked around the classroom, Katherine was just smiling at him encouragingly. So Jack took a deep breath and concentrated on his presentation. Words flowed from his lips, despite some pauses and repetitions. He even added gestures to better express himself. It seemed that confidence had found him.
When Jack finished his presentation, the room erupted into applause. The applause washed over Jack, and with it came a wave of confidence. His grateful eyes met Katherine's, her smile now a symbol of his journey to self-assurance. No longer defined by his stutter, Jack felt a sense of belonging. His presentation wasn't just an assignment; it was a testament to his ability to overcome personal obstacles. As the room quieted, Jack returned to his seat, his heart lighter, knowing that he had made a lasting impression on his classmates and himself.

Mikuni Fumitaka, a 68-year-old retired resident of the Tohoku region, lived through one of the most destructive natural disasters in recent history: the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami. On March 11, 2011, Mikuni was at home in his seaside village, following his daily routine, when the ground suddenly shook violently. The intense shakes made it difficult for Mikuni to stay on his feet, and the deafening noise filled the air. The houses around him swayed as if they were make of paper.
As soon as the shakes stopped, Mikuni knew he had to act quickly. He rushed outside and joined his neighbors, heading for higher ground. However, the tsunami wave was already approaching at an alarming speed. The wave swallowed the village, sweeping away homes, cars, and anything else in its path. Mikuni was separated from his neighbors as the powerful currents dragged him in different directions. He grasped a piece of wood, struggling to stay afloat. “I thought I was going to die. I started to think about my family and friends. I couldn’t give up. I had to survive for them,” he says. As night fell, Mikuni was finally rescued by a search and rescue team.
The days following the earthquake and tsunami were a blur of grief and confusion. The village was unrecognizable, reduced to ruins. Many of Mikuni’s friends and neighbors were missing or confirmed dead. The survivors faced the terrifying task of rebuilding their lives from scratch. Mikuni’s home was completely destroyed, and he lost many cherished possessions.
However Mikuni found comfort in the community’s spirit of cooperation. The survivors worked together to clear debris, share resources, and support one another. The sense of community was incredible, giving them the courage to keep going.
Years have passed since that tragic day, and Mikuni reflects on the journey his community has taken. They have come a long way, with physical and emotional scars (创伤), but they are rebuilding stronger and better.
4. What did Mikuni experience during the disaster?
A. He felt the gentle shakes. B. He rushed to a higher building.
C. He held floating wood to survive. D. He got separated from families.
5. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

C. The difficult task of rebuilding. D. The sad scenes caused by the disaster.
6. Which words best describe the community from its response to the disaster?
A. Strong and patient. B. Supportive and united.
C. Open and considerate. D. Organized and creative.
7. What can be inferred about Mikuni’s present state from the last paragraph?

C. He is stressed but determined. D. He is uncertain about the future.

We all know fresh is best when it comes to food. However, most produce at the store went through weeks of travel and covered hundreds of miles before reaching the table. While farmer’s markets are a solid choice to reduce the journey, Babylon Micro-Farm (BMF) shortens it even more.
BMF is an indoor garden system. It can be set up for a family. Additionally it could serve a larger audience such as a hospital, restaurant or school. The innovative design requires little effort to achieve a reliable weekly supply of fresh greens.
Specifically it’s a farm that relies on new technology. By connecting through the Cloud, BMF is remotely monitored. Also, there is a convenient app that provides growing data in real time. Because the system is automated, it significantly reduces the amount of water needed to grow plants. Rather than watering rows of soil, the system provides just the right amount to each plant. After harvest, users simply replace the plants with a new pre-seeded pod (容器) to get the next growth cycle started.
Moreover, having a system in the same building where it’s eaten means zero emissions (排放) from transporting plants from soil to salad. In addition, there’s no need for pesticides and other chemicals that pollute traditional farms and the surrounding environment.
BMF employees live out sustainability in their everyday lives. About half of them walk or bike to work. Inside the office, they encourage recycling and waste reduction by limiting garbage cans and avoiding single-use plastic. “We are passionate about reducing waste, carbon and chemicals in our environment,” said a BMF employee.
8. What can be learned about BMF from paragraph 1?
A. It guarantees the variety of food. B. It requires day-to-day care.
C. It cuts the farm-to-table distance. D. It relies on farmer’s markets.
9. What information does the convenient app offer?
A. Real-time weather changes. B. Current condition of the plants.
C. Chemical pollutants in the soil. D. Availability of pre-seeded pods.
10. What can be concluded about BMF employees?
A. They have a great passion for sports.
B. They are devoted to community service.
C. They are fond of sharing daily experiences.

The US government is beginning to hand out billions of dollars into infrastructure (基础设施) spending to better the US water system, much of which will go to improving stormwater systems. But some scientists and city planners are pushing to fund projects that are better adapted to the changing climate. Instead of just gray infrastructure, supporters say the answer is green.
Green infrastructure, whether large rain gardens or plants along streets, has the same purpose as big storm pipes: to manage large amounts of water that can build up during heavy rains. That is, when rain storms hit, the water soaks into the rain gardens, which prevents that water from rushing to the streets and sidewalks, thus greatly reducing the pressure on the stormwater system. Green infrastructure can also help when it’s not raining. Summer heat waves are often more dangerous in cities, because concrete (水泥) takes in heat in line with what’s known as the “urban heat island” effect. Plants and parks can provide much needed cooling.
Then why isn’t there more green infrastructure? While both gray and green infrastructure require upfront funding, green infrastructure also requires ongoing costs to repairing it regularly, which can turn out to be a big block to doing it. In addition, the most cost-effective time to build green infrastructure projects is when cities are already doing roadwork. But because the projects are often managed by different departments, working together effectively sometimes seems impossible. Also, some state governments put the need to repair and upgrade gray infrastructure first rather than starting green projects in many communities.
According to Marccus Hendricks, assistant professor of city studies and planning at the University of Maryland, although highlighting the significance of green infrastructure is of great importance, it has been a stepchild of the types of systems people pay attention to.

A. It is the primary focus of city planning.
B. It has received much funding to get it upgraded.
C. It hasn’t received enough attention from the officials.

Boundaries are personal guidelines that define what is and isn’t okay in your interpersonal relationships. As everyone has different needs and comfort levels, they may appear different for each person. Having healthy boundaries may provide such benefits as avoiding burnout, boosting self-esteem and maintaining personal space. ____16____ After setting your boundaries, it’s helpful to review them on a regular basis to remain relevant to your life circumstances.
____17____ The way you set them reflects your attitude to taking responsibility in life. Taking the time to think about your wants and needs in different situations will help you understand how your values influence boundary-setting. Once you have made the list of your values, needs, and wants, use that knowledge to establish clear boundaries that respect yourself and those around you.
Once you have identified your boundaries, it is important to communicate them effectively. ____18____ Express your ideas in an open and straightforward manner; speak up for yourself so that others can hear, understand and respect your needs. Additionally, take a step back if tensions arise during a conversation about setting boundaries. Allow yourself or the other person to cool down before restarting the conversation. ____19____
When learning how to set healthy boundaries, it is essential to learn how to say “no”. Saying “yes” to everything can lead to stress, burnout, and frustration.

Jack was new to Woodberry Forest School this year. He carried a secret burden: a stutter (口吃) that often brought about laughter from his classmates. This made him very upset. Shy and reserved. Jack chose to fade into the background rather than draw attention to himself. He felt like an outsider, never quite fitting in.
Jack was eager to exchange ideas with his classmates, but afraid of getting into trouble. Jack's science teacher, Katherine, a warm and caring woman often wearing a smile, noticed Jack's stutter and shyness. She observed how Jack struggled to express himself in class and how he would shy away when called upon to speak.
Determined to lend a hand, Katherine took Jack under her wing, encouraging him to embrace bravery and believe in his own abilities. Subsequently, Katherine adopted a set of systematic methods to help him. She was glad to find the potential in him, the intelligence and creativity that lay hidden beneath his stutter. Whenever possible, Katherine was always ready to praise his efforts, always declaring, "You are so great!” Whenever Jack stumbled over his words, Katherine always smiled at him encouragingly, providing him with the strength to continue. Day by day, Jack found himself speaking with greater confidence and fluency.
One day, Katherine announced that each student should give a presentation of a science project in front of the class. Jack's heart sank, the familiar fear and anxiety wrapping around him. How could he possibly stand before his classmates to give his ideas clearly, knowing that they would laugh at him? As the presentation drew near, Jack's anxiety mounted. Then came the big day. He watched his classmates take turns to walk up to the front. They gave their presentation with confidence and backed to their seats with satisfaction. However, while Jack was waiting for his turn, his heart beat so violently that he felt as if he were sitting on pins and needles.
