After taking an introductory course in global health last winter, Yashaswi Bista, president of Stanford SupplyHer, was empowered to take action against malaria —a disease that has been claiming hundreds of thousands of lives every year for centuries.
Stanford SupplyHer, a student group supporting women’s health through art, hosted an event in partnership with United to Beat Malaria (UBM) to encourage funding for malaria prevention, treatment and research initiatives while tabling at White Plaza last Monday. “Knowing that malaria is especially dangerous to pregnant individuals and children makes advocacy for malaria funding and research essential for our mission,” said Bista.
“We in the U. S. need to be aware of the impact of global warming on malaria because less developed countries in other parts of the world are more heavily affected by our emissions,” Bista said. Last year, the U. S. experienced its first local outbreaks of malaria since 2003. Infectious disease experts have warned that climate change will spread malaria and other diseases carried by mosquitoes to areas that were once free of malaria.
This summer, after discovering the work of UBM, a global grassroots campaign of the UN Foundation, Bista met with her congressional (国会的) representatives to advocate for malaria treatment and research. To support continued funding for global malaria programs, Bista wrote to officials in Congress. “It’s easy for people to feel like they are powerless with issues as big as malaria. But any person can give input to their decision makers on issues as big as these,” wrote Macgan Cross, a senior advocate at UBM. “By sending messages to your elected officials in support of global health funding, you are making sure your voice is heard.”
Bista encouraged students to become involved in initiatives on campus to spread awareness of malaria and other global health issues. “Global health is important to me because there are so many health inequities (不平等) around the world and health itself is important to live a fulfilling life,” Bista said. “Because there are so many health inequities around the world, I want to raise awareness and help people live fulfilling lives.”
4. What inspired Bista to engage in actions against malaria?
A. A learning experience. B. A health crisis. C. A grassroots campaign. D. A tabling event.
5. What did Bista do to support malaria prevention?
A. She organized a charity sale. B. She launched a research project.
C. She campaigned for fundraising. D. She budgeted for malaria treatment.
6. What is the message Maegan Cross intends to convey?
A. Community voices secure health funding.
B. Malaria outbreaks are difficult to prevent.
C. The public needs more knowledge about health.
D. Individual efforts matter in government decisions.
7. Which of the following best describes Bista?
A. A health advocate. B. A club founder. C. A woman pioneer. D. A disease specialist.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了斯坦福大学的一个学生团体Stanford SupplyHer与United to Beat Malaria合作,在白广场举办活动,鼓励为疟疾的预防、治疗和研究计划提供资金的事情。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“After taking an introductory course in global health last winter, Yashaswi Bista, president of Stanford SupplyHer, was empowered to take action against malaria —a disease that has been claiming hundreds of thousands of lives every year for centuries.(去年冬天,斯坦福大学“Stanford SupplyHer”组织的主席Yashaswi Bista在修完一门全球健康入门课程后,获得了采取行动抗击疟疾的动力。疟疾这种疾病在几个世纪以来,每年都夺走数十万人的生命。)”可知,启发Bista采取行动抗击疟疾的是一次学习经历。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Stanford SupplyHer, a student group supporting women’s health through art, hosted an event in partnership with United to Beat Malaria(UBM)to encourage funding for malaria prevention, treatment and research initiatives while tabling at White Plaza last Monday.(“Stanford SupplyHer”是一个通过艺术来支持女性健康的学生团体。上周一,该团体与“联合抗击疟疾”组织合作,在怀特广场设摊举办了一场活动,旨在鼓励为疟疾的预防、治疗和研究项目提供资金支持。)”可知,Bista所在的组织与“联合抗击疟疾”组织合作举办活动,鼓励为疟疾的预防、治疗和研究项目提供资金支持。由此可知,Bista为支持疟疾预防所做的是为筹款进行宣传活动。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段““It’s easy for people to feel like they are powerless with issues as big as malaria. But any person can give input to their decision makers on issues as big as these,” wrote Macgan Cross, a senior advocate at UBM. “By sending messages to your elected officials in support of global health funding, you are making sure your voice is heard.”(“联合抗击疟疾”组织的资深倡导者Macgan Cross写道:“面对像疟疾这样重大的问题,人们很容易觉得自己无能为力。但在这类重大问题上,任何人都可以向决策者表达自己的意见。通过向你选出的官员发送支持全球卫生事业资金投入的信息,你就能确保自己的声音被听到。”)”可知,Maegan Cross认为面对像疟疾这样重大的问题,人们很容易觉得自己无能为力,但实际上任何人都可以就这类重大问题向决策者表达自己的意见,通过向当选官员发送支持全球卫生事业资金投入的信息,就能确保自己的声音被听到。所以Maegan Cross想要传达的信息是个人努力在政府决策中很重要。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章内容可知,Bista在修完全球健康入门课程后,积极采取行动抗击疟疾。她所在的组织与“联合抗击疟疾”组织合作举办活动,鼓励为疟疾的预防、治疗和研究项目提供资金支持;她会见国会议员,为疟疾的治疗和研究进行呼吁;还写信给国会议员,支持对全球疟疾防治项目持续提供资金,并鼓励学生们参与校园里提高人们对疟疾和其他全球健康问题认识的活动。这些行为都表明她是健康问题尤其是抗击疟疾方面的倡导者。故选A。
C
A dropped bag of chips disturbed a cave ecosystem in Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico. This cave is almost cut off from the outside world, so introducing anything foreign can be harmful. “Things in the damp cave get wet quickly,” says park guide Ashley. The snack attracts tiny organisms, causing unwanted growth. Soon, small animals like crickets and spiders came to eat, spreading the pollution. Rangers found the bag within hours. “But that can be all it takes,”says Ashley. “I’m sure some crickets got a bit of the snack.”
Over 500 million people visit American public lands each year, creating many chances to harm wild places. “When you look at the numbers, it’s incredible,” says Watts, head of the Leave No Trace Center in Colorado, an organization aimed at minimizing human impact on nature.
Food waste takes a long time to break down, especially in certain areas. “It takes much longer for an apple core to rot in a desert than in a forest,” says Blye, a teacher at the University of Utah. Leaving waste introduces animals to an unnatural diet and changes their behavior with sometimes disastrous results. Bears who taste garbage and become a threat to humans may have to be put down. “Bears can get used to unnatural food in three weeks,” says Watts. “Everyone loses in this case.”
Biological waste is also problematic. Dog waste brings new bacteria into the ecosystem and scares away deer. Meanwhile, human waste and toilet paper introduces dangerous bacteria into water sources.
In national parks, trails (小路) are designed to avoid sensitive areas. Stepping off the trail, even for a quick photo, can scare wildlife away. Impacts from many visitors result in long-term damage to nature and wildlife. But people don’t think of that when they see the perfect photo opportunity. “It’s just such a hard thing to resist,” says Blye. The risk to sensitive ecosystems isn’t obvious. “It’s easy to think, oh, there’s wildflowers over there. I shouldn’t step on that,” says Blye, but these tiny ecosystems full of microscopic organisms essential to desert life provide many benefits, including reducing the risk of erosion (侵蚀) and helping absorb rainfall, and can take hundreds of years to return to its original state.
8. What does Ashley mean by “But that can be all it takes.”?
A. The rangers’ work is efficient. B. The damage has been done.
C. The cleanup takes a long time. D. The pollution has spread widely.
9. What is a result of foreign waste in public lands?
A. A shift in animal behavior. B. A shortage of food supplies.
C. A decline in bacterial species. D. An increase in regional conflicts.
10. Why does the writer mention wildflowers in paragraph 5?
A. To praise their benefits to desert life.
B. To highlight our damage to ecosystems.
C. To stress their significance for photography.
D. To show our unawareness of nature’s sensitivity.
11. It is conveyed in this passage that we should .
A. encourage wildlife protection B. leave no trace in the wild
C. promote national park tourism D. restore ecological damage
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人类活动,特别是游客在自然保护区的不当行为,对自然环境造成的负面影响。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章划线句子上文“A dropped bag of chips disturbed a cave ecosystem in Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico. This cave is almost cut off from the outside world, so introducing anything foreign can be harmful.(在新墨西哥州的卡尔斯巴德洞穴国家公园,一袋掉落的薯片扰乱了洞穴的生态系统。这个洞穴几乎与外界隔绝,所以引入任何外来的东西都可能有害。)”以及“Soon, small animals like crickets and spiders came to eat, spreading the pollution.(很快,像蟋蟀和蜘蛛这样的小动物就跑来觅食,从而扩散了污染。)”可知,一袋薯片掉落在洞穴里,虽然护林员在几小时内就发现了薯片,但是在此之前薯片已经吸引了微小生物,导致了不必要的生物生长,蟋蟀和蜘蛛等小动物也跑来觅食并扩散了污染。所以 Ashley说“But that can be all it takes.”意思是损害已经造成了。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Leaving waste introduces animals to an unnatural diet and changes their behavior with sometimes disastrous results. Bears who taste garbage and become a threat to humans may have to be put down. “Bears can get used to unnatural food in three weeks,” “says Watts. “Everyone loses in this case.”(留下垃圾会让动物接触到非自然的食物,并改变它们的行为,有时甚至会带来灾难性的后果。尝到过垃圾味道并对人类构成威胁的熊可能不得不被安乐死。“熊能在三周内习惯非自然的食物,”Watts.说,“在这种情况下,大家都输了。”)”可知,在公共土地上留下的外来垃圾会让动物接触到非自然的食物,进而改变它们的行为,有时还会带来灾难性的后果,比如尝到垃圾味道的熊会对人类构成威胁。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““It’s just such a hard thing to resist, “says Blye. The risk to sensitive ecosystems isn’t obvious. “It’s easy to think, oh, there’s wildflowers over there. I shouldn’t step on that, “says Blye, but these tiny ecosystems full of microscopic organisms essential to desert life provide many benefits, including reducing the risk of erosion(侵蚀)and helping absorb rainfall, and can take hundreds of years to return to its original state.(“这真的很难抗拒,”Blye说。对敏感生态系统造成的风险并不明显。“很容易想到,哦,那边有野花。我不应该踩到它们,”Blye说,但这些充满了对沙漠生命至关重要的微生物的微小生态系统有很多益处,包括降低侵蚀风险和帮助吸收降雨,而且可能需要数百年才能恢复到原来的状态。)”可知,Blye说人们看到拍照机会很难抗拒,对敏感生态系统的风险并不明显。人们很容易想到那边有野花不应该踩到,但这些对沙漠生命至关重要的微小生态系统有很多益处,而且需要数百年才能恢复到原来的状态。所以作者在第五段提到野花是为了表明我们对大自然敏感性的无意识。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章内容可知,文章开篇以一袋薯片扰乱洞穴生态系统为例,接着讲述了食物垃圾、生物垃圾等人类在公共土地上留下的废弃物对生态系统的危害,如改变动物行为、引入有害细菌等,还提到游客踏出小径拍照等行为对自然和野生动物造成长期损害,强调了人类活动对自然环境的不良影响。所以文章传达的是我们应该在野外不留下痕迹。故选B。
D
In the risky world of nuclear arms control, Princeton student Lepowsky is exploring how robots can make inspections more accurate and acceptable to host nations worried about invasive (侵入的) traditional methods. His latest research has led to a robot performing inspections without saving sensitive information.
“The host nation likely won’t want a human inspector poking their nose around,” said Lepowsky. “But even a robot has memory and sensors acquiring data.” The goal is to have high-confidence inspections without the robot saving information. For example, the robot would not save radiation measurements or create floor plans of sensitive areas.
The new prototype (样机) is built on an iRobot Create 3 platform, an educational robot. Robots offer advantages over human inspectors:they can tolerate higher radiation levels, are more consistent, and can be cheaper. They also can be programmed to generate trust, such as not using cameras to avoid seeing unwanted details. The idea for the robot started with Lepowsky’s adviser, Glaser, who was curious about creating a “forgetful robot” that could perform highly accurate nuclear arms inspections but forget everything afterward. This led to an even more interesting idea: “Rather than forgetting, we’re not even remembering in the first place,” Lepowsky said. He believes this feature can reassure hosts concerned about privacy.
Lepowsky likes the interdisciplinary nature of his work — drawing on both his robotics and policy expertise — and he likes that it requires a breadth of knowledge, not just depth. He values that his research is grounded in real-life applications for global security and nuclear nonproliferation (防扩散).
Predicting when the robot might be used in the field is difficult. “It’s easy to say, today, it’s not very realistic, but you have to be ready for if and when it becomes possible,” said Lepowsky. Research into this problem is very active. Because arms control is changing, the specific objectives of future agreements are hard to predict. “But we can hope they will be positive, and we need to be ready, technically. “
12. In which aspect is Lepowsky’s robot different from human inspectors?
A. Data security. B. Memory capacity. C. Social acceptance. D. User friendliness.
13. What is said about the robot in paragraph 3?
A. Its accurate system. B. Its privacy risks.
C. Its design mechanism. D. Its operational problems.
14. What does Lepowsky like about his work?
A. Scientific research data. B. Real-time technical cooperation.
C. In-depth theoretical studies. D. Integrated knowledge across fields.
15. Which would be the best title for this passage?
A. Princeton’s “Forgetful” Robots in Global Security
B. No-Memory Robots:The Future of Nuclear Checks?
C. Nuclear Arms Control:Robots or Human Inspectors?
D. Lepowsky’s “Curious” Robots for Radiation Detection
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了普林斯顿大学的学生Lepowsky在核军备控制领域的研究,特别是他关于如何利用机器人进行更准确且为主办国所接受的核查工作的探索。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段““The host nation likely won’t want a human inspector poking their nose around,” said Lepowsky. “But even a robot has memory and sensors acquiring data.” The goal is to have high-confidence inspections without the robot saving information. For example, the robot would not save radiation measurements or create floor plans of sensitive areas.( Lepowsky说:“东道国很可能不希望人类核查员到处窥探。但即便是机器人也有会采集数据的内存和传感器。” 其目标是在机器人不保存信息的情况下进行高可信度的核查。例如,机器人不会保存辐射测量数据,也不会绘制敏感区域的平面图。)”可知,东道国不希望人类核查员到处窥探,而Lepowsky的机器人的目标是在不保存信息,如不保存辐射测量数据、不绘制敏感区域平面图的情况下进行核查。所以Lepowsky的机器人与人类核查员在数据安全方面不同。故选A。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。在文章第三段中,首先提到“The new prototype (样机) is built on an iRobot Create 3 platform, an educational robot.(这款新的样机是基于教育机器人iRobot Create 3平台制造的。)”说明了机器人的样机是基于一个教育机器人平台搭建的。接着阐述“Robots offer advantages over human inspectors: they can tolerate higher radiation levels, are more consistent, and can be cheaper. They also can be programmed to generate trust, such as not using cameras to avoid seeing unwanted details.(与人类核查员相比,机器人具有一些优势:它们能够承受更高的辐射水平,工作更加稳定一致,而且成本可能更低。它们还可以通过编程来赢得信任,比如不使用摄像头以避免拍摄到不必要的细节。)”介绍了机器人相较于人类核查员的优势,以及为了赢得信任所采用的编程方式,比如不使用摄像头。还提到“The idea for the robot started with Lepowsky’s adviser, Glaser, who was curious about creating a “forgetful robot” that could perform highly accurate nuclear arms inspections but forget everything afterward. This led to an even more interesting idea: “Rather than forgetting, we’re not even remembering in the first place,” Lepowsky said. He believes this feature can reassure hosts concerned about privacy.(关于这款机器人的想法最初来自Lepowsky的导师Glaser,他对制造一个能够进行高度精确的核武器核查、但事后会忘掉一切的“健忘机器人”很感兴趣。这引出了一个更有意思的想法:“我们不是让它事后忘掉,而是从一开始就不记录任何信息。” Lepowsky说。他认为这一特点可以让那些担心隐私问题的东道国放心。)” 讲述了机器人设计理念的起源以及最终确定的“从一开始就不记录信息”这一特色,这些都围绕着机器人的设计机制展开。所以关于第三段中提到的机器人,主要说的是它的设计机制。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Lepowsky likes the interdisciplinary nature of his work — drawing on both his robotics and policy expertise — and he likes that it requires a breadth of knowledge, not just depth. He values that his research is grounded in real-life applications for global security and nuclear nonproliferation(防扩散).( Lepowsky喜欢自己工作的跨学科性质——既利用了他在机器人技术方面的专业知识,也运用了他在政策方面的专长——而且他喜欢这份工作需要广泛的知识,而不仅仅是深度的专业知识。他很看重自己的研究是基于全球安全和核不扩散的现实应用。)”可知,Lepowsky喜欢他工作的跨学科性质,即他的工作需要同时运用到机器人技术和政策方面的专业知识,并且他喜欢这份工作需要广泛的知识,而不仅仅是深度的专业知识。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知,文章主要围绕莱波夫斯基研发的不会保存敏感信息(即没有记忆)的机器人展开,介绍了该机器人在核武器核查领域的研发背景、优势、设计机制等。文中提到这种机器人能够在不保存信息的情况下进行高可信度的核查,解决了东道国对隐私的担忧,并且探讨了虽然目前难以预测其在实际领域的应用时间,但针对该问题的研究很活跃,未来可能在核核查中发挥作用。选项B“No-Memory Robots: The Future of Nuclear Checks?(无记忆机器人:核核查的未来?)”既突出了机器人“无记忆”的特点,又点明了其与核核查的关系,并且以疑问的形式引发读者思考,符合文章主旨。故选B。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The less you spend, the more you save. It sounds simple in theory, but in practice, it’s much more complicated. Spending is built into our daily habits, which sometimes can get us addicted to buying stuff. ___16___ It’s kind of like a crash diet, but in a good way!
___17___
Despite the name, a no-spend challenge doesn’t mean you sit on your hands and spend no money whatsoever. After all, you don’t want to fall behind on your bills, and there are some necessities you simply can’t do without. The basic premise (前提) of a no-spend challenge is to cut out non-essential spending for a certain amount of time. It could be for a week, a month or even an entire year.
What can you spend money on during a no-spend challenge?
If you need to purchase something during your no-spend challenge, it should be something that’s necessary and you absolutely can’t do without. So groceries, yes. Candy bar in the checkout line, no. Also, no new iPhone, even if you’ve been dreaming about an upgrade. No new shoes, even if they’re on a huge sale. This is not the time to make excuses to buy stuff you don’t really need. ___18___ The goal of this challenge isn’t to make life harder on yourself by cutting out spending on essential expenses.
The financial benefits of a no-spend challenge
___19___ You can use the extra money you normally would have spent to build up your emergency fund. Or you might want to put the money toward other financial goals, like saving for a new car or an upcoming vacation. While no-spend challenges are designed to be temporary, you can always extend your challenge. ___20___
A. Decide acceptable purchases.
B. What is a no-spend challenge?
C. There should be no quick-fix approach.
D. When will you start your no-spend challenge?
E. Why not treat it as more of a lifestyle change?
F. Sometimes the best way is to go on a spending freeze.
G. A no-spend challenge can be a boost to your financial situation.
【答案】16. F 17. B 18. A 19. G 20. E
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何通过不花钱的挑战来省钱。
【16题详解】
根据上文“The less you spend, the more you save. It sounds simple in theory, but in practice, it’s much more complicated. Spending is built into our daily habits, which sometimes can get us addicted to buying stuff.(你花的越少,存的就越多。理论上听起来很简单,但实际上要复杂得多。花钱是我们的日常习惯,有时会让我们沉迷于购买东西)”以及下文“It’s kind of like a crash diet, but in a good way! (这有点像速成减肥法,不过是以一种好的方式!)”可知,上文提到了存钱实际上复杂得多,因为花钱是习惯,推测本句主要说明了省钱的另一种方式,故F选项“有时候最好的办法是冻结开支”符合语境,故选F。
【17题详解】
根据本段内容“Despite the name, a no-spend challenge doesn’t mean you sit on your hands and spend no money whatsoever. After all, you don’t want to fall behind on your bills, and there are some necessities you simply can’t do without. The basic premise (前提) of a no-spend challenge is to cut out non-essential spending for a certain amount of time. It could be for a week, a month or even an entire year.(尽管名字叫“不花钱挑战”,但这并不意味着你坐在那里不花钱。毕竟,你不想在账单上落后,而且有些必需品是你不能没有的。不花钱挑战的基本前提是在一定时间内减少不必要的支出。可能是一个星期,一个月,甚至一整年)”可知,本段主要解释了什么是“不花钱挑战”,即“不花钱挑战”的定义。故B选项“什么是不花钱的挑战?”符合语境,故选B。
【18题详解】
根据上文“If you need to purchase something during your no-spend challenge, it should be something that’s necessary and you absolutely can’t do without. So groceries, yes. Candy bar in the checkout line, no. Also, no new iPhone, even if you’ve been dreaming about an upgrade. No new shoes, even if they’re on a huge sale. This is not the time to make excuses to buy stuff you don’t really need.(如果你在“零消费挑战”中需要购买某些东西,那就必须是你必须购买的东西。所以食品杂货,是的。在收银台排队时候买糖果,不行。而且,没有新iPhone,即使你一直梦想着升级。不买新鞋,即使它们在大减价。这不是找借口买你不需要的东西的时候)”以及下文“The goal of this challenge isn’t to make life harder on yourself by cutting out spending on essential expenses.(这个挑战的目标不是通过削减基本开支来让自己的生活变得更艰难)”可知,上文主要说明了基本的开支是可以接受的,但是额外的开支不可以,故A选项“决定可接受的采购”符合语境,故选A。
【19题详解】
根据下文“You can use the extra money you normally would have spent to build up your emergency fund.(你可以用平时会花的额外的钱来建立应急基金)”可知,下文提到了节约下来的钱可以建立应急基金,推测不花钱挑战带来的经济状况的改善。故G选项“不花钱的挑战可以促进你的财务状况。”符合语境,故选G。
【20题详解】
根据上文“While no-spend challenges are designed to be temporary, you can always extend your challenge.( 虽然不花钱的挑战是暂时的,但你可以扩展挑战)”可知,上文说明了不花钱挑战的好处,本句为本段最后一句,推测是建议采取这种生活方式,来进行省钱。故E选项“为什么不把它看作是生活方式的改变呢?”符合语境,故选E。

【答案】Should Community Service Be a Requirement for Graduation?
When it comes to whether students should be required to complete community service to graduate, I firmly believe it makes great sense. Firstly, participating in community events allows us to see firsthand the difference we can make. It fosters a sense of social responsibility-an essential quality for any citizen. Moreover, engaging in community service helps us develop skills like communication, teamwork, and leadership. These skills are invaluable not only in academic settings but also highly sought-after in the job market. They give us an edge in the competitive world.
In conclusion making community service a graduation requirement better prepares us for life beyond high school. It equips us with skills and values that will serve us well into the future.

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。
I’d always been told to take care of my older brother, Brian, who was born weak and small. I’d often tie his shoes or prepare another glass of water for him. My mom saw my larger size and strong body as a sign that I was to be a kind of guardian angel (守护天使) for Brian. However, that was not the case.
One day our school sponsored a pumpkin-carving contest. First prize was $100, and I knew just how I would spend it. There was a brand-new game I was dying to own. So I decided the first place bonus definitely had to land in my pocket.
When I had to carve the perfect pumpkin I’d picked out, it dawned on me that with my big clumsy fingers I’d surely screw it up (搞砸). I thought of Brian’s smaller, delicate hands and knew he was the man for the job. I immediately begged Brian. Unexpectedly, he asked for a cut. That was fifty-fifty. Quickly doing the math in my head, I figured out even if I split (分摊) the first prize, I’d still have enough cash for the game. So I gave in to Brian’s demands. With skillful hands Brian carved the perfect face, and now we had the best pumpkin ever.
Then the unexpected happened: We came in second. Unfortunately, second prize was only $50, and I needed every penny of that to buy the game. The day of the awards ceremony, the principal handed over the money to me because Brian was home, sick with cold.
If he really wanted to win, he would have been here today, I thought to myself, justifying stealing the cash from under poor Brian’s runny nose. With hardly a thought, I ran to the store and bought my dream game. That night when Brian asked if we had won, I denied, afraid to look into his eyes.
The whole thing was never mentioned again until the day when Brian was packing for college. I played my usual role in helping him pack when I came across an old album filled with photos he had taken as the school photographer.
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。
Paragraph 1:
I was enjoying the photos when one caught my eye.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
“You actually knew and didn’t say anything?" I was shocked.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
I was enjoying the photos when one caught my eye. It was a picture of the pumpkin we had carved together. Underneath, Brian had written, “My first real win with my brother. Even if we didn’t get first, it was a victory because we worked as a team.” Seeing those words, a wave of guilt washed over me. I remembered how I had selfishly taken all the money and lied to him. I realized how much I had let him down. I turned to Brian, ready to confess everything.
Paragraph 2:
“You actually knew and didn’t say anything?” I was shocked. Brian just smiled gently and said, “I always knew. But I also knew that you needed that game more than the money at that time. And I was proud of our teamwork, not the prize. I hoped one day you’d understand the real meaning of winning together.” His words made me feel even more ashamed. I apologized sincerely, vowing to make it up to him. From then on, I truly understood my role as his guardian angel and the importance of true brotherhood.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者与哥哥Brian之间的一次经历,展现了兄弟之间的情感变化以及作者对“真正胜利”的理解。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“我正欣赏着这些照片,其中一张吸引了我的目光。”以及第二段首句内容““你其实早就知道却什么都没说?”我震惊地问道。”可知,第一段可描写作者发现自己的哥哥早就知道他们获得了二等奖,却没有揭穿作者。
②由第二段首句内容““你其实早就知道却什么都没说?”我震惊地问道。”可知,第二段可描写作者向哥哥道歉,也真正理解了兄弟情谊的重要性。
2.续写线索:作者欣赏着照片,突然发现了一张俩人一起雕刻南瓜的照片——在照片下,哥哥记下了他们一起雕刻南瓜这件事,并感叹虽然没有获得第一名,但是仍然是胜利——作者突然意识到哥哥早就知道了真相,却没有揭穿自己的谎言——作者准备向哥哥坦白,可是哥哥却温柔地自己为两人的团队合作感到自豪——作者非常愧疚,真诚地向哥哥道歉——从此之后,作者真正理解了兄弟情谊。
3.词汇激活

③道歉:apologize/ make an apology

After taking an introductory course in global health last winter, Yashaswi Bista, president of Stanford SupplyHer, was empowered to take action against malaria —a disease that has been claiming hundreds of thousands of lives every year for centuries.
Stanford SupplyHer, a student group supporting women’s health through art, hosted an event in partnership with United to Beat Malaria (UBM) to encourage funding for malaria prevention, treatment and research initiatives while tabling at White Plaza last Monday. “Knowing that malaria is especially dangerous to pregnant individuals and children makes advocacy for malaria funding and research essential for our mission,” said Bista.
“We in the U. S. need to be aware of the impact of global warming on malaria because less developed countries in other parts of the world are more heavily affected by our emissions,” Bista said. Last year, the U. S. experienced its first local outbreaks of malaria since 2003. Infectious disease experts have warned that climate change will spread malaria and other diseases carried by mosquitoes to areas that were once free of malaria.
This summer, after discovering the work of UBM, a global grassroots campaign of the UN Foundation, Bista met with her congressional (国会的) representatives to advocate for malaria treatment and research. To support continued funding for global malaria programs, Bista wrote to officials in Congress. “It’s easy for people to feel like they are powerless with issues as big as malaria. But any person can give input to their decision makers on issues as big as these,” wrote Macgan Cross, a senior advocate at UBM. “By sending messages to your elected officials in support of global health funding, you are making sure your voice is heard.”
Bista encouraged students to become involved in initiatives on campus to spread awareness of malaria and other global health issues. “Global health is important to me because there are so many health inequities (不平等) around the world and health itself is important to live a fulfilling life,” Bista said. “Because there are so many health inequities around the world, I want to raise awareness and help people live fulfilling lives.”
4. What inspired Bista to engage in actions against malaria?
A A learning experience. B. A health crisis. C. A grassroots campaign. D. A tabling event.
5. What did Bista do to support malaria prevention?
A. She organized a charity sale. B. She launched a research project.
C. She campaigned for fundraising. D. She budgeted for malaria treatment.
6. What is the message Maegan Cross intends to convey?
A. Community voices secure health funding.
B. Malaria outbreaks are difficult to prevent.
C. The public needs more knowledge about health.
D. Individual efforts matter in government decisions.
7. Which of the following best describes Bista?
A. A health advocate. B. A club founder. C. A woman pioneer. D. A disease specialist.

A dropped bag of chips disturbed a cave ecosystem in Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico. This cave is almost cut off from the outside world, so introducing anything foreign can be harmful. “Things in the damp cave get wet quickly,” says park guide Ashley. The snack attracts tiny organisms, causing unwanted growth. Soon, small animals like crickets and spiders came to eat, spreading the pollution. Rangers found the bag within hours. “But that can be all it takes,”says Ashley. “I’m sure some crickets got a bit of the snack.”
Over 500 million people visit American public lands each year, creating many chances to harm wild places. “When you look at the numbers, it’s incredible,” says Watts, head of the Leave No Trace Center in Colorado, an organization aimed at minimizing human impact on nature.
Food waste takes a long time to break down, especially in certain areas. “It takes much longer for an apple core to rot in a desert than in a forest,” says Blye, a teacher at the University of Utah. Leaving waste introduces animals to an unnatural diet and changes their behavior with sometimes disastrous results. Bears who taste garbage and become a threat to humans may have to be put down. “Bears can get used to unnatural food in three weeks,” says Watts. “Everyone loses in this case.”
Biological waste is also problematic. Dog waste brings new bacteria into the ecosystem and scares away deer. Meanwhile, human waste and toilet paper introduces dangerous bacteria into water sources.
In national parks, trails (小路) are designed to avoid sensitive areas. Stepping off the trail, even for a quick photo, can scare wildlife away. Impacts from many visitors result in long-term damage to nature and wildlife. But people don’t think of that when they see the perfect photo opportunity. “It’s just such a hard thing to resist,” says Blye. The risk to sensitive ecosystems isn’t obvious. “It’s easy to think, oh, there’s wildflowers over there. I shouldn’t step on that,” says Blye, but these tiny ecosystems full of microscopic organisms essential to desert life provide many benefits, including reducing the risk of erosion (侵蚀) and helping absorb rainfall, and can take hundreds of years to return to its original state.
8. What does Ashley mean by “But that can be all it takes.”?
A. The rangers’ work is efficient. B. The damage has been done.
C. The cleanup takes a long time. D. The pollution has spread widely.
9. What is a result of foreign waste in public lands?
A. A shift in animal behavior. B. A shortage of food supplies.
C. A decline in bacterial species. D. An increase in regional conflicts.
10. Why does the writer mention wildflowers in paragraph 5?
A. To praise their benefits to desert life.
B. To highlight our damage to ecosystems.
C. To stress their significance for photography.
D. To show our unawareness of nature’s sensitivity.
11. It is conveyed in this passage that we should .
A. encourage wildlife protection B. leave no trace in the wild
C. promote national park tourism D. restore ecological damage
D
In the risky world of nuclear arms control, Princeton student Lepowsky is exploring how robots can make inspections more accurate and acceptable to host nations worried about invasive (侵入的) traditional methods. His latest research has led to a robot performing inspections without saving sensitive information.
“The host nation likely won’t want a human inspector poking their nose around,” said Lepowsky. “But even a robot has memory and sensors acquiring data.” The goal is to have high-confidence inspections without the robot saving information. For example, the robot would not save radiation measurements or create floor plans of sensitive areas.
The new prototype (样机) is built on an iRobot Create 3 platform, an educational robot. Robots offer advantages over human inspectors:they can tolerate higher radiation levels, are more consistent, and can be cheaper. They also can be programmed to generate trust, such as not using cameras to avoid seeing unwanted details. The idea for the robot started with Lepowsky’s adviser, Glaser, who was curious about creating a “forgetful robot” that could perform highly accurate nuclear arms inspections but forget everything afterward. This led to an even more interesting idea: “Rather than forgetting, we’re not even remembering in the first place,” Lepowsky said. He believes this feature can reassure hosts concerned about privacy.
Lepowsky likes the interdisciplinary nature of his work — drawing on both his robotics and policy expertise — and he likes that it requires a breadth of knowledge, not just depth. He values that his research is grounded in real-life applications for global security and nuclear nonproliferation (防扩散).
Predicting when the robot might be used in the field is difficult. “It’s easy to say, today, it’s not very realistic, but you have to be ready for if and when it becomes possible,” said Lepowsky. Research into this problem is very active. Because arms control is changing, the specific objectives of future agreements are hard to predict. “But we can hope they will be positive, and we need to be ready, technically. “
12. In which aspect is Lepowsky’s robot different from human inspectors?
A. Data security. B. Memory capacity. C. Social acceptance. D. User friendliness.
13. What is said about the robot in paragraph 3?
A. Its accurate system. B. Its privacy risks.
C. Its design mechanism. D. Its operational problems.
14. What does Lepowsky like about his work?
A. Scientific research data. B. Real-time technical cooperation.
C. In-depth theoretical studies. D. Integrated knowledge across fields.
15. Which would be the best title for this passage?
A. Princeton’s “Forgetful” Robots in Global Security
B No-Memory Robots:The Future of Nuclear Checks?
C. Nuclear Arms Control:Robots or Human Inspectors?
D. Lepowsky’s “Curious” Robots for Radiation Detection

Despite the name, a no-spend challenge doesn’t mean you sit on your hands and spend no money whatsoever. After all, you don’t want to fall behind on your bills, and there are some necessities you simply can’t do without. The basic premise (前提) of a no-spend challenge is to cut out non-essential spending for a certain amount of time. It could be for a week, a month or even an entire year.

This is not the time to make excuses to buy stuff you don’t really need. ___18___ The goal of this challenge isn’t to make life harder on yourself by cutting out spending on essential expenses.
The financial benefits of a no-spend challenge
___19___ You can use the extra money you normally would have spent to build up your emergency fund.

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。
I’d always been told to take care of my older brother, Brian, who was born weak and small. I’d often tie his shoes or prepare another glass of water for him. My mom saw my larger size and strong body as a sign that I was to be a kind of guardian angel (守护天使) for Brian. However, that was not the case.
One day our school sponsored a pumpkin-carving contest. First prize was $100, and I knew just how I would spend it. There was a brand-new game I was dying to own. So I decided the first place bonus definitely had to land in my pocket.
When I had to carve the perfect pumpkin I’d picked out, it dawned on me that with my big clumsy fingers I’d surely screw it up (搞砸). I thought of Brian’s smaller, delicate hands and knew he was the man for the job. I immediately begged Brian. Unexpectedly, he asked for a cut. That was fifty-fifty. Quickly doing the math in my head, I figured out even if I split (分摊) the first prize, I’d still have enough cash for the game. So I gave in to Brian’s demands. With skillful hands Brian carved the perfect face, and now we had the best pumpkin ever.
Then the unexpected happened: We came in second. Unfortunately, second prize was only $50, and I needed every penny of that to buy the game. The day of the awards ceremony, the principal handed over the money to me because Brian was home, sick with cold.
If he really wanted to win, he would have been here today, I thought to myself, justifying stealing the cash from under poor Brian’s runny nose. With hardly a thought, I ran to the store and bought my dream game. That night when Brian asked if we had won, I denied, afraid to look into his eyes.
The whole thing was never mentioned again until the day when Brian was packing for college. I played my usual role in helping him pack when I came across an old album filled with photos he had taken as the school photographer.
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。
Paragraph 1:
I was enjoying the photos when one caught my eye.

“You actually knew and didn’t say anything?" I was shocked.
