Ryder was born with a physical disability and has never been able to walk. He started using a wheelchair
when he was two years old. When he turned five, he started attending elementary school in June 2019, and every
day had to be pushed to the end of the road to wait for his school bus by his parents, Tim and Nikea. If he was
running late for the bus, he had to wait for up to 15 minutes out whatever the weather was.
In September, Ryder’s father, Tim, put up a patio (露台) umbrella at the end of his driveway to provide some
shelter. However, with the wind and rain here in New England, it didn’t help much and Ryder still got wet and cold.
Desperately, Tim who runs an electronics company, placed a post on Facebook, turning to his community to see if
anyone could have an old bus hut (棚) which helps to protect Ryder from the bad weather.
After knowing about Ryder’s problem, three local students in Bradford, Rhode Island, decided to build a new
bus hut for Ryder during their construction lessons, worrying that snow would be falling soon and Ryder would
have a rough time. They worked hard on the project for several weeks, learning new skills through YouTube to
create the structure. About $300 worth of wood was donated and the rest of the materials were purchased by Tim
for $600. The hut was so huge that it could accommodate both Ryder and one of his parents or a nurse comfortably,
and was finally delivered to their home six weeks later on November 2.
“We were shocked. It was much bigger than we expected. Ryder loved it. He did like to go out in it every day
before school.” Tim said. The family sent a photo of Ryder in the bus shelter and thanked the teens for their hard
work. This project brought his community together, showing that there is kindness in this world.
24.What do we know about Ryder?
A.He suffered a lot on his way to school.
B.He was born in 2013 with a physical disability.
C.He longed for a new umbrella to get some shelter.
D.He was driven to school by his parents Tim and Nikea.
25.What can be inferred about the three students who built the bus hut for Ryder?
A.They were hired by Tim to complete the project.
B.They were motivated by a desire to help him out.
C.They built the hut as part of a school competition.
D.They intended to put their previous skills into practice.
26.What does the underlined word “accommodate” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Be tolerant to. B.Provide space for. C.Provide home for. D.Be accustomed to.
27.What message does this passage convey?
A.Hard work pays off. B.It is never too old to learn.
C.Kindness makes a difference. D.A friend in need is a friend indeed.

Laughter, in response to funny events, actually takes a lot of work,because it activates many areas of the brain:
areas that control motor, emotional, cognitive and social processing. Researchers now appreciate laughter’s power
to improve physical and mental well-being (健康).
People begin laughing when they are babies, which helps develop muscles and upper body strength.Laughter
is not just breathing. It relies on complex combinations of facial muscles, often involving movement of the eyes,
head and shoulders. By activating the neural (神经的) pathways of emotions like joy, laughter can improve your
mood and make your physical response to stress less intense.
A good sense of humor and the laughter that follows depend on an abundant measure of social intelligence
and working memory resources. Laughter, like humor, typically comes from recognizing the oddness of a situation.
You need to mentally resolve the surprising behavior or event--otherwise you won’t laugh; you might just be
confused instead. Inferring the intentions of others and taking their perspective can increase the intensity of the
laughter and amusement you feel. To “get” a joke or humorous situation,you need to be able to see the lighter side
of things. You must believe that other possibilities besides the literal meaning exist.
Laughter creates bonds with others. Linguist Don Nilsen points out that laughs seldom happen when alone,
supporting their strong social role. For example, public speakers and comedians try to get a laugh to make
audiences feel psychologically closer to them. By practicing a little laughter each day, you can improve social
skills that may not come naturally to you. When you laugh in response to humor, you share your feelings with
others and learn from the risks that your response will be accepted by others and not be rejected.
Laughter also produces positive emotions. These feelings--like amusement, happiness and joy--build
resiliency (复原力 ) and increase creative thinking. They increase subjective well-being and life satisfaction.
Researchers find that these positive emotions experienced with humor and laughter are related to appreciating the
meaning of life.
28. How does laughter help improve our well-being?
A. It helps with breathing. B. It activates various brain areas.
C. It affects facial muscles. D. It improves physical strength.
29. What is necessary for experiencing laughter according to Paragraph 3?
A. Having a high level of intelligence. B. Maintaining a general outlook on life.
C. Discovering the strangeness of a situation. D. Understanding the literal meaning of a joke.
30. Why do speakers and comedians aim to make listeners laugh?
A. To show their wisdom of life. B.To demonstrate their presentation style.
C. To make the presentation more challenging. D. To create psychological closeness with listeners.
31. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?
A. To stress the positive effects of laughter. B. To provide a general definition of laughter.
C. To highlight the social importance of laughter. D. To instruct readers on how to practice laughter.
D
Virtual reality (VR) technology from video games and GPS-like apps is now entering hospitals, helping
doctors work more safely and successfully. Dr. Ryan Broderick, a doctor at the University of California San Diego,

丰城九中校本资料
recently tested Apple’s Vision Pro headset with “spatial (空间的 ) computing” during surgeries (外科手术 ),
becoming one of the first doctors in the U. S. to try this technology.
“With these headsets, we can project medical images into the real world of the surgery room,” Broderick
explains. “We can make screens as big as a wall or adjust them to the perfect position.” This technology mixes
digital images with real-world views, letting doctors see 3D models of a patient’s body—like where a tumor (肿瘤)
is—almost like giving them Xray view.
In the past, doctors had to frequently turn their heads to check screens during complex surgeries, leading to
neck and shoulder pain. Now, spatial computing shows all key information right in front of their eyes. “It works
like a car direction system—highlighting danger areas or warning us to avoid important areas,” says Broderick.
The tech also helps train new doctors. Teachers can use virtual screens to show body structures, point out key
areas with glowing arrows, or even draw where to make cuts on a 3D heart model. “Students can watch the
teacher’s virtual explanations, which is clearer than reading textbooks!” Broderick adds. This hands-on learning
helps trainees master skills faster.
Top U.S. hospitals like Johns Hopkins are already testing similar systems. Though the equipment is expensive
and needs software improvements, Broderick remains hopeful: “This isn’t just new tools—it’s a revolution in
healthcare. In 10 years, technology like this could help millions get better treatment.” From video games to
life-saving surgeries, VR is proving that cool tech can truly change lives.
32. How can headsets help with surgeries according to paragraph 2?
A. By making the surgery room brighter.
B. By letting doctors avoid looking at screens.
C. By helping patients stay calm during surgery.
D. By showing 3D pictures of the patient’s body.
33. What is one of the benefits of using VR for doctors?
A. It allows them to perform surgeries without any help.
B. It reduces physical stress and potential job-related pain.
C. It enables them to communicate directly with patients.
D. It allows them to work without any medical images.
34. What is Broderick’s attitude toward VR’s future in healthcare?
A. Negative. B. Neutral. C. Positive D. Doubtful.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. What Is the Future of VR in Hospitals?
B. How Is VR Changing the World of Surgery?
C. What Are the Challenges of VR in Hospitals?
D. Why Is VR Technology Important for Patients?

or virtual assistant to turn the plugs on or off as needed helps stop energy drain in its tracks.
Upcycle or recycle your old tech.
Tech is everywhere in our homes, and when a device gets old, we tend to replace it with a newer, better, faster
version. It’s okay to get the latest device, but why not reuse and repurpose the older ones? For example, you can
upcycle your old computers and laptops by repurposing them into home security monitors. Got an old Android
phone?____39____
It’s not hard to start adding green tech to your home. ____40____Once you start, you’ll quickly see how
convenient green tech can be and how easy it is to start using it.

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 is in the fourth grade and he joined the noisy children of his class as usual. “Children! Silence!” Ms.
Benette suddenly entered the class. She announced next week would be maths week. “I’d like each of you to work
on a project. You could do it individually or in a group,” she instructed. “The topic for the project needs approving
tomorrow and it has to be showed at the maths week exhibition. The best project will be awarded and there is also
a surprise gift from my side,” she added.
Jack, who is extremely good at maths, sat in the corner seat of the first bench with Cathy, an average. Cathy
asked Jack if they could work on the maths project together. Jack replied in a prideful tone, “Ha-ha you want to
join me. I think I will do the project on my own.” Jack wanted to get awarded and the surprise gift all for himself
from Ms. Benette.
After deep consideration, Jack decided to work on a maths magic quiz on the circuit board (电路板). The next
day in school, Ms. Benette arrived in the classroom and all the children submitted their topics for maths exhibition.
They all chose to work in a group except Jack. In the following days, Jack gathered all the materials for the project
such as wires, bulbs(灯泡), a switch and a thin plywood board(胶合板). He worked out a few mathematical basic
operations to be fixed on the board so that when the wire of the circuit touched the right answer, the bulb
glowed(发光). Jack completed the project and was happy with the result.
The evening before the exhibition, while packing his school bags, Jack again checked the project to see if it
was working fine. Alas! All the lights that were to glow did not seem to light at all. Without finding the reason,
Jack was anxious. However, he decided to take the same project to the school as he couldn’t change the topic at
the last minute. Then came the next day, and everybody was fascinated in the exhibition.
注意:
1.续写词数应为 150左右;
