【解析】
【原文】W: Jack, are you excited about the Wimbledon Tennis Championships this year? I love all the traditions they have there.
M: Yeah. It isn’t a true Wimbledon experience without the strawberries and cream.
W: Exactly! But did you know that those tennis players have to wear all-white clothes? Even their shoes can’t be off-white or cream.
M: Ha, I know! I read it’s because back then, in Victorian England, sweat marks were a big no-no. White was the best way to hide them. So, the rule for athletes to wear white has been in place since the first tournament in 1877.
W: So what happens if they wear something with color?
M: They have to change their clothes.
W: Interesting. I remember that Andre Agassi, who was known for his colorful clothes, was against this tradition from 1988 to 1990. But he eventually won Wimbledon in 1992 in white.
M: I guess even the greats have to follow the rule.

M: I remember you used to dream of being a fashion designer in school.
W: Yeah. I think this is a step in the right direction. Now, what are you up to?
M: I just got back to Riverside County a couple of months ago. I’m working as a waiter right now but am hoping to get a teaching job. I’ve applied to most of the local middle schools.

【解析】
【原文】Good evening, everyone. This is your weather update. September has brought a series of weather crises to the Northern Hemisphere. Flooding from unusually heavy rains across northwest and north-central Africa has taken more than 1,000 lives and driven close to 1 million from their homes. Storm Boris has set off days of heavy rainfall, caused billions in damage, and forced tens of thousands to evacuate flooded cities in Central Europe. Meanwhile, Typhoon Yagi has struck the Philippines and northern Vietnam and has taken more than 500 lives and cost over 13 billion dollars. These events have something in common: rising global temperatures are causing more water to disappear from the oceans, which leads to heavier rain in some places while making dry areas even drier. Stay tuned for further updates and please stay safe during these challenging times.

B
One cold autumn afternoon, in a forest outside the tiny village of Hümmel, I went for a walk with the German forester Peter Wohlleben.
Wohlleben had been managing the forest for almost three decades, and he had cared for it with unusual gentleness. Each tree is cut individually and removed using horses, rather than heavy machinery, to avoid damaging underground networks of roots and fungi that allow trees to exchange resources and chemical signals. He has created additional income for the forest by leading tours and teaching courses, etc. He has long insisted that people around the world could and should manage their forests likewise. Until a few years ago, virtually no one was listening.
To make his views and his know-how widely known, Wohlleben began writing books. However, his first fifteen reached a modest audience. The turning point came in 2015 with his sixteenth book, The Hidden Life of Trees. Inspired by the walking tours like the one that Wohlleben was leading me on, he shifted the tone in this book — from technical writing to a warm, story-like style. He said, “The people I guided through the forest — they were hard trainers. When I talked in a way that wasn’t interesting, they would begin talking with each other.” So he adopted a cheerful and friendly tone — like a kind uncle telling fairy tales, full of warmth and a sense of wonder. And it struck a chord: The Hidden Life of Trees has sold more than a million copies in Germany alone, and more than three million worldwide.
Near the end of our walk, Wohlleben showed me a C-shaped stump (树桩). It had been cut down at least fifty years ago, and yet, somehow, it was still alive. The tree’s roots, many of which grew above the soil, were visibly connected to a nearby tree. To Wohlleben, this was proof of the remarkable mutuality of trees — that they will continue caring for nearby trees even after their death.
24. Why does Wohlleben use horses to remove trees?
A. To get around easily. B. To keep the old tradition alive.
C. To reduce equipment costs. D. To protect underground roots and fungi.
25. What makes The Hidden Life of Trees more popular than Wohlleben’s earlier books?
A. It is well advertised. B. It is easy and fun to read.
C. It offers scientific knowledge. D. It explores human-nature bond.
26. Which can best replace the underlined “mutuality”?
A. Adaptation. B. Growth. C. Connection. D. Lifespan.
27. What might be a suitable title?
A. The Secret Language of Trees B. How a Book Changed Forestry
C. A Forest Walk with Wohlleben D. Wohlleben and His Forest Message
【答案】24. D 25. B 26. C 27. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了德国林务员Wohlleben温和地管理着森林,其著作《树木的隐秘生活》以故事体风格走红,书中传递树木间相互关联等信息,传播其森林管理理念。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Each tree is cut individually and removed using horses, rather than heavy machinery, to avoid damaging underground networks of roots and fungi that allow trees to exchange resources and chemical signals.(每棵树都是单独进行砍伐的,并且是用马匹而非重型机械来移除的,这样可以避免破坏地下由根系和菌类构成的网络结构,这些网络结构使得树木能够进行资源交换和化学信号传递)”可知,沃勒莱本用马来移除树木是为了保护地下根系和菌类。故选D。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“To make his views and his know-how widely known, Wohlleben began writing books. However, his first fifteen reached a modest audience. The turning point came in 2015 with his sixteenth book, The Hidden Life of Trees. Inspired by the walking tours like the one that Wohlleben was leading me on, he shifted the tone in this book — from technical writing to a warm, story-like style.(为了让更多人了解他的观点和专业知识,沃尔勒本开始撰写书籍。然而,他的前十五本书的读者数量并不多。转折点出现在2015年,他出版了第十六本书《树木的隐秘生活》。受到沃尔勒本带领我进行的徒步旅行活动的启发,他在这本书中改变了风格——从专业的写作风格转变为温暖、类似故事的风格)”以及“So he adopted a cheerful and friendly tone — like a kind uncle telling fairy tales, full of warmth and a sense of wonder.(于是他便采用了欢快且亲切的语气——就像一位慈祥的叔叔在讲童话故事那样,充满了温暖和奇妙的想象)”可知,《树的秘密生活》比沃尔勒本之前的著作更受欢迎的原因是其易于阅读且充满乐趣。故选B。
【26题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“The tree’s roots, many of which grew above the soil, were visibly connected to a nearby tree.(这棵树的根系中有很多部分生长在土壤之上,而且明显与附近的一棵树相连)”可知,文中提到被砍伐的树桩根系与附近树木相连,这体现了树木间的相互关联,“mutuality”在此处指树木间的这种连接关系,故划线词意思是“联系”。故选C。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Wohlleben had been managing the forest for almost three decades, and he had cared for it with unusual gentleness.(沃尔勒本管理这片森林已有近三十年之久,他对待这片森林的方式极为温和)”以及第三段“To make his views and his know-how widely known, Wohlleben began writing books. However, his first fifteen reached a modest audience. The turning point came in 2015 with his sixteenth book, The Hidden Life of Trees.(为了让更多人了解他的观点和专业知识,沃尔勒本开始撰写书籍。然而,他的前十五本书的读者数量并不多。转折点出现在2015年,他出版了第十六本书《树木的隐秘生活》)”,结合文章主要说明了德国林务员Wohlleben温和地管理着森林,其著作《树木的隐秘生活》以故事体风格走红,书中传递树木间相互关联等信息,传播其森林管理理念可知,D选项“沃尔勒本和他的森林信息”能概括文章内容,最适合作文章标题。故选D。
C
It all started on a stoop (门廊). I picked up a book and started reading to the neighborhood kids. When I finished reading, the kids didn’t want story time to stop. So I said, “You guys can read a book at home.” “We don’t have any books at home.” they responded. It was an unpleasant reminder that there are children who don’t have a single book at home.
As a public librarian, I quickly realized that the kids that I saw coming into the library weren’t the same ones I was reading to out on my front stoop. I learned about something called book deserts. A book desert is an area or a community with limited access to books and reading materials.
I was aware that I wasn’t going to meet my neighbors who need it most inside library’s walls. So I quit my job and took to the streets becoming a street librarian who is doing work to increase literary access outside of traditional settings.
Book deserts are often found in economically disadvantaged areas, where bookstores and libraries are not enough. Lower-income neighbors may lack the resources to buy books from the bookstore or pay library fines. Residents may be working multiple jobs or facing hardships that make a trip to the library an additional stress. Requirement of identification, fines and fees, all while seemingly normal, can become difficult for families facing hardships.
Therefore, I’m making books appear in everyday places in extraordinary ways. I fix free public book vending machines (自助售书机), host street-corner story times, and pop up on the block with free bookstores, so kids who don’t have McDonald’s money don’t have to worry about having book-fair money. You’ll find me delivering books to your front stoop. I have delivered 5,000 books to children living in book deserts.
I believe everyone is a reader. They just haven’t found the right book yet. And that’s where librarians step in. We must meet them where they are and guide them along that journey.
28. What inspired the author to become a street librarian?
A. The kids’ lack of books at home.
B. The kids’ request for more stories.
C. Her love for reading books on stoops.
D. Her curiosity for seeking book deserts.
29. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The causes of book deserts.
B. The struggles of a street librarian.
C. The challenges of working more jobs.
D. The importance of traditional libraries.
30. How does the author help kids in book deserts?
A. By lowering book prices. B. By donating money to them.
C. By inviting them to schools. D. By providing free books.
31. What can we conclude from the text?
A. Street libraries will replace public ones.
B. Librarians should reach out to readers.
C. Libraries should maintain traditional rules.
D. Book deserts exist even in rich areas.
【答案】28. A 29. A 30. D 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者从公共图书馆馆员转变为街头图书馆员,致力于解决书籍荒漠问题,为孩子们提供免费书籍的故事。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中““We don’t have any books at home.” they responded. It was an unpleasant reminder that there are children who don’t have a single book at home. (“我们家里没有任何书。”他们回答道。这让人很不舒服地想起,有些孩子家里一本书都没有)”以及第三段中“So I quit my job and took to the streets, becoming a street librarian who is doing work to increase literary access outside of traditional settings. (所以我辞去了工作,走上街头,成为一名街头图书馆员,致力于在传统环境之外增加文学接触机会)”可知,作者成为街头图书馆员的灵感来自于孩子们家里没有书这一事实。故选A。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Book deserts are often found in economically disadvantaged areas, where bookstores and libraries are not enough. Lower-income neighbors may lack the resources to buy books from the bookstore or pay library fines. Residents may be working multiple jobs or facing hardships that make a trip to the library an additional stress. Requirement of identification, fines and fees, all while seemingly normal, can become difficult for families facing hardships. (书籍荒漠通常出现在经济不发达地区,那里的书店和图书馆数量不足。低收入的邻居可能缺乏从书店买书或支付图书馆罚款的资源。居民可能同时打几份工,或面临困难,这使得去图书馆成为一种额外的压力。身份证明、罚款和费用,尽管看似正常,但对于面临困难的家庭来说可能会变得困难)”可知,本段主要讲述了书籍荒漠形成的原因,包括经济不发达、书店和图书馆数量不足、低收入家庭缺乏资源以及居民面临的多重压力等。故选A。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Therefore, I’m making books appear in everyday places in extraordinary ways. I fix free public book vending machines (自助售书机), host street-corner story times, and pop up on the block with free bookstores, so kids who don’t have McDonald’s money don’t have to worry about having book-fair money. You’ll find me delivering books to your front stoop. I have delivered 5,000 books to children living in book deserts. (因此,我正在以非凡的方式让书籍出现在日常场所。我修理免费的公共图书自动售货机,在街角举办故事时间,并在街区开设免费书店,这样没有麦当劳钱的孩子就不必担心没有书展的钱。你会发现我把书送到你家门口。我已经给生活在书籍荒漠中的孩子们送去了5000本书)”可知,作者通过提供免费书籍来帮助书籍荒漠中的孩子们。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“I believe everyone is a reader. They just haven’t found the right book yet. And that’s where librarians step in. We must meet them where they are and guide them along that journey. (我相信每个人都是读者。他们只是还没有找到合适的书。这就是图书馆员介入的地方。我们必须在他们所在的地方与他们相遇,并引导他们完成这段旅程)”可知,作者认为图书馆员应该主动接触读者,引导他们找到合适的书籍,因此可以得出结论,图书馆员应该主动接触读者。故选B。
D
Nietzsche (尼采) was wrong: When you gaze long enough into the abyss (深渊), the abyss does not gaze back into you. Instead, the cosmic (宇宙的) void (空白) remains silent and frightening in its vastness.
When looking at the vast emptiness of the universe, there is a temptation (诱惑) to look at our tiny world with nihilism (虚无主义). To feel that our great achievements amount to nothing. That our history fails to leave a mark. That our concerns and anxieties are pointless.
I’m a cosmologist, the kind of scientist who studies the origin, history and evolution of the universe. I have spent years working to understand what cosmic voids teach us.And in the course of my studies, I have learned to reject that temptation.
It’s true that Earth is neither large nor long-lived, but that is only one way of measuring significance. Compared with the cosmic voids, there is something special happening on our planet. Earth is still the only known place in the entire universe where conscious beings raise their curious eyes to the sky and wonder. Earth is the only known place where humans can exist. It is the only known place where laughter, love, anger and joy exist. The only known place where we can find dance, music, and art. Our disagreements and all the beautiful complexities that make us human aren’t meaningless.The experiences in our lives are special because they will never happen in the empty expanse of most of the universe.
The same lessons that cosmic voids teach us are found in the voids we encounter in our own lives. The presence of voids guarantees the opposite; they create contrast; they are full of potential. The pain we feel from loss is the last reminder of the gift of a life deeply loved. The silence before a performance is full of electric expectation. Our choice to ignore stressful news is necessary to allow us to focus on what truly matters.
Artists have long understood the power of the void. The 12th-century poet Saigyo noted that the pauses between raindrops were as important as the drops themselves. The famed architect Rem celebrated the usefulness of negative spaces, declaring, “Where there is nothing, everything is possible.”
The universe won’t do anything for us except give us the freedom to exist. It is our job to fill the universe with meaning and purpose.
32. What does the author suggest about the“temptation” in paragraph 2?
A. It reflects humanity’s fear of cosmic emptiness.
B. It strengthens people’s scientific curiosity about the void.
C. It leads people to understate Earth’s unique qualities.
D. It comes from the universe’s coldness to human existence.
33. Why does the author reject the temptation?
A. He is a cosmologist who believes science.
B. Earth remains the only known home for human experiences.
C. Human experiences differ from those in voids.
D. Earth’s small size and short life makes it unique.
34. What is the main purpose of paragraph 5?
A. To explain why voids exist in universe and life.
B. To suggest people should remove empty spaces in life.
C. To analyze how emptiness in life offers significance.
D. To prove filling empty spaces creates greater purpose.
35. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Cosmic Voids: A Scientist’s Technical Analysis
B. Filling the Emptiness: Finding Meaning in the Vast Universe
C. Nietzsche Revisited: When Philosophy Meets Astronomy
D. The Silent Universe: Why Our Existence Means Nothing
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨面对宇宙的虚无,人类应如何在其中寻找意义与价值。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“When looking at the vast emptiness of the universe, there is a temptation (诱惑) to look at our tiny world with nihilism (虚无主义). To feel that our great achievements amount to nothing. That our history fails to leave a mark. That our concerns and anxieties are pointless. (当凝视宇宙的浩瀚虚无时,人们难免会被诱惑,以虚无主义的眼光看待我们这个渺小的世界。觉得我们的伟大成就微不足道,我们的历史未能留下任何印记,我们的关切与焦虑都毫无意义。)”可知,这种“诱惑”会导致人们低估地球的独特品质。故选C项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“I have spent years working to understand what cosmic voids teach us.And in the course of my studies, I have learned to reject that temptation.(我花费了多年时间去探究宇宙空洞所带给我们的启示。在研究的过程中,我逐渐学会了抵制这种诱惑。)”和第四段中的“Earth is still the only known place in the entire universe where conscious beings raise their curious eyes to the sky and wonder. Earth is the only known place where humans can exist. It is the only known place where laughter, love, anger and joy exist. The only known place where we can find dance, music, and art.(地球仍然是整个宇宙中已知的唯一有意识的生物抬起好奇的眼睛望向天空并感到好奇的地方。地球是已知的唯一人类可以生存的地方。它是已知的唯一有笑声、爱、愤怒和喜悦存在的地方。唯一已知的可以找到舞蹈、音乐和艺术的地方。)”可知,第四段中用排比句式强调地球是宇宙中已知的唯一存在“有意识的生物”、人类情感和艺术的地方,由此可知,地球是已知的人类唯一能有各种体验的地方,所以作者在研究过程中逐渐学会了抵制这种诱惑。故选B项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的“The presence of voids guarantees the opposite; they create contrast; they are full of potential. The pain we feel from loss is the last reminder of the gift of a life deeply loved. The silence before a performance is full of electric expectation.(虚空的存在保证了相反的情况;它们创造对比;它们充满潜力。我们从失去中感受到的痛苦是对深爱的生命礼物的最后提醒。演出前的沉默充满了强烈的期待。)”可推断,第五段的主要目的是分析生活中的空虚如何赋予意义。故选C项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是最后一段中的“It is our job to fill the universe with meaning and purpose.(我们的工作是让宇宙充满意义和目的。)”可知,作者反对宇宙的虚无使人陷入无意义论,强调人类情感、艺术和存在的独特性,倡导在宏大宇宙中主动创造的意义,所以,“填补空虚:在浩瀚宇宙中寻找意义”最能概括全文,适合作为最佳标题。故选B项。

67. 读后续写
I inhaled deeply, expelling the breath against the rear window of the vehicle, and with a finger, I etched the word ‘DREADFUL’ into the misty surface of the glass, creating a temporary inscription that mirrored my inner turmoil.
My father, casting a brief glance in my direction through the reflective surface of the rearview mirror, offered a comforting remark, “Alex, this journey presents itself as an auspicious occasion for you to reconnect with your maternal and paternal elders.”
The vehicle made a deliberate turn onto a well-trodden dirt path, one that I recognized all too well. We were progressively distancing ourselves from the urban confines, moving further away from the digital tendrils of the Internet, and even more so from the stimulating environment of the computer camp.
“Brighten up, Alex!” exclaimed my mother, her voice carrying a note of optimism. “There is every likelihood that another opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of coding will arise shortly, perhaps even within this very summer season.”
As the car continued its journey, I was acutely aware that all my companions in the realm of programming would be engaged in the act of coding at the computer camp this week, while I, on the other hand, was to be ensconced in the rural setting of a farm. I uttered not a single syllable, and in due course, the vehicle came to a halt in the driveway of my grandparents’ abode. A slender row of trees materialized into view, their presence a stark contrast to the urban landscape I was leaving behind.
I had once taken pleasure in visiting the farm during the spring intermissions before my immersion into coding camps... and before the realization of the extent to which my actions could lead to chaos and disorder.
The engine of the car had not yet ceased its hum when my grandmother, with an agility that belied her years, sprang towards us. From my vantage point in the backseat, I observed as my father and mother embraced my grandmother. I, in turn, reluctantly extracted myself from the vehicle, feeling as though the very force of gravity had grown unusually intense.
“You both are certainly deserving of a respite,” my grandmother was saying, her words directed towards my parents. “Alex will be in good stead — he has always held a fondness for the farm.” She spoke in the past tense, implying that Alex had once cherished the farm.
During the midday meal, my grandmother inquired, “Why such a somber countenance, Alex?” I maintained my silence. Why indeed? It seemed as though they were acting in ignorance of the events that had transpired during my previous visit. For a fleeting moment, my gaze met with my grandmother’s. Could I muster the courage to question her regarding the goats’ destruction of all the flora belonging to our neighbor, Mr. Jackson, an incident that occurred because I had inadvertently lifted the latch and allowed the goats to roam free? Was Mr. Jackson still seething with anger towards me for the considerable damage I had inadvertently caused him?
“I am quite alright,” I muttered, my voice barely audible. “It is merely the absence of the coding camp this week that I am lamenting. Coding is an activity at which I excel.”
My mother offered a nod of understanding. “Ah, that does sound disheartening, but the farm will undoubtedly offer you a different kind of experience.”
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
After lunch, I was on my own when, out of nowhere, there’s Mr. Jackson.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Instead, Mr. Jackson yelled, “Great to see you here, Alex! I need your help with a lamb’s birth.”
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
After lunch, I was on my own when, out of nowhere, there’s Mr. Jackson. As I walked toward the barn, I thought about how he might still be upset with me for the goat incident, which happened because I accidentally unlatched the gate, letting the goats wander into his garden and devour everything in sight. Despite this, I couldn’t help but feel a bit relieved that he was the first person I saw. I hoped that he had forgiven me for the chaos that I had unintentionally caused.
Instead, Mr. Jackson yelled, “Great to see you here, Alex! I need your help with a lamb’s birth.” Surprised by his enthusiasm, I wondered if he had forgotten about the damage that I had caused or if he genuinely needed assistance. As I approached him, I noticed the urgency in his eyes, which suggested that he really did require my help. Since I had always been good with technology and coding, assisting with something as organic as helping a lamb be born felt like a completely new challenge, one that I was unexpectedly eager to take on, despite my initial reluctance to be at the farm.The experience of helping bring a new life into the world was both challenging and rewarding, and it helped ease some of the tension between Mr. Jackson and me.

One cold autumn afternoon, in a forest outside the tiny village of Hümmel, I went for a walk with the German forester Peter Wohlleben.
Wohlleben had been managing the forest for almost three decades, and he had cared for it with unusual gentleness. Each tree is cut individually and removed using horses, rather than heavy machinery, to avoid damaging underground networks of roots and fungi that allow trees to exchange resources and chemical signals. He has created additional income for the forest by leading tours and teaching courses, etc. He has long insisted that people around the world could and should manage their forests likewise. Until a few years ago, virtually no one was listening.
To make his views and his know-how widely known, Wohlleben began writing books. However, his first fifteen reached a modest audience. The turning point came in 2015 with his sixteenth book, The Hidden Life of Trees. Inspired by the walking tours like the one that Wohlleben was leading me on, he shifted the tone in this book — from technical writing to a warm, story-like style. He said, “The people I guided through the forest — they were hard trainers. When I talked in a way that wasn’t interesting, they would begin talking with each other.” So he adopted a cheerful and friendly tone — like a kind uncle telling fairy tales, full of warmth and a sense of wonder. And it struck a chord: The Hidden Life of Trees has sold more than a million copies in Germany alone, and more than three million worldwide.
Near the end of our walk, Wohlleben showed me a C-shaped stump (树桩). It had been cut down at least fifty years ago, and yet, somehow, it was still alive. The tree’s roots, many of which grew above the soil, were visibly connected to a nearby tree. To Wohlleben, this was proof of the remarkable mutuality of trees — that they will continue caring for nearby trees even after their death.
24. Why does Wohlleben use horses to remove trees?
A. To get around easily. B. To keep the old tradition alive.
C. To reduce equipment costs. D. To protect underground roots and fungi.
25. What makes The Hidden Life of Trees more popular than Wohlleben’s earlier books?
A. It is well advertised. B. It is easy and fun to read.
C. It offers scientific knowledge. D. It explores human-nature bond.
26. Which can best replace the underlined “mutuality”?
A. Adaptation. B. Growth. C. Connection. D. Lifespan.
27. What might be a suitable title?
A. The Secret Language of Trees B. How a Book Changed Forestry
C. A Forest Walk with Wohlleben D. Wohlleben and His Forest Message
C
It all started on a stoop (门廊). I picked up a book and started reading to the neighborhood kids. When I finished reading, the kids didn’t want story time to stop. So I said, “You guys can read a book at home.” “We don’t have any books at home.” they responded. It was an unpleasant reminder that there are children who don’t have a single book at home.
As a public librarian, I quickly realized that the kids that I saw coming into the library weren’t the same ones I was reading to out on my front stoop. I learned about something called book deserts. A book desert is an area or a community with limited access to books and reading materials.
I was aware that I wasn’t going to meet my neighbors who need it most inside library’s walls. So I quit my job and took to the streets becoming a street librarian who is doing work to increase literary access outside of traditional settings.
Book deserts are often found in economically disadvantaged areas, where bookstores and libraries are not enough. Lower-income neighbors may lack the resources to buy books from the bookstore or pay library fines. Residents may be working multiple jobs or facing hardships that make a trip to the library an additional stress. Requirement of identification, fines and fees, all while seemingly normal, can become difficult for families facing hardships.
Therefore, I’m making books appear in everyday places in extraordinary ways. I fix free public book vending machines (自助售书机), host street-corner story times, and pop up on the block with free bookstores, so kids who don’t have McDonald’s money don’t have to worry about having book-fair money. You’ll find me delivering books to your front stoop. I have delivered 5,000 books to children living in book deserts.
I believe everyone is a reader. They just haven’t found the right book yet. And that’s where librarians step in. We must meet them where they are and guide them along that journey.
28. What inspired the author to become a street librarian?
A The kids’ lack of books at home.
B. The kids’ request for more stories.
C. Her love for reading books on stoops.
D. Her curiosity for seeking book deserts.
29. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The causes of book deserts.
B. The struggles of a street librarian.
C. The challenges of working more jobs.
D. The importance of traditional libraries.
30. How does the author help kids in book deserts?
A. By lowering book prices. B. By donating money to them.
C. By inviting them to schools. D. By providing free books.
31. What can we conclude from the text?
A. Street libraries will replace public ones.
B. Librarians should reach out to readers.
C. Libraries should maintain traditional rules.
D. Book deserts exist even in rich areas.
D
Nietzsche (尼采) was wrong: When you gaze long enough into the abyss (深渊), the abyss does not gaze back into you. Instead, the cosmic (宇宙的) void (空白) remains silent and frightening in its vastness.
When looking at the vast emptiness of the universe, there is a temptation (诱惑) to look at our tiny world with nihilism (虚无主义). To feel that our great achievements amount to nothing. That our history fails to leave a mark. That our concerns and anxieties are pointless.
I’m a cosmologist, the kind of scientist who studies the origin, history and evolution of the universe. I have spent years working to understand what cosmic voids teach us.And in the course of my studies, I have learned to reject that temptation.
It’s true that Earth is neither large nor long-lived, but that is only one way of measuring significance. Compared with the cosmic voids, there is something special happening on our planet. Earth is still the only known place in the entire universe where conscious beings raise their curious eyes to the sky and wonder. Earth is the only known place where humans can exist. It is the only known place where laughter, love, anger and joy exist. The only known place where we can find dance, music, and art. Our disagreements and all the beautiful complexities that make us human aren’t meaningless.The experiences in our lives are special because they will never happen in the empty expanse of most of the universe.
The same lessons that cosmic voids teach us are found in the voids we encounter in our own lives. The presence of voids guarantees the opposite; they create contrast; they are full of potential. The pain we feel from loss is the last reminder of the gift of a life deeply loved. The silence before a performance is full of electric expectation. Our choice to ignore stressful news is necessary to allow us to focus on what truly matters.
Artists have long understood the power of the void. The 12th-century poet Saigyo noted that the pauses between raindrops were as important as the drops themselves. The famed architect Rem celebrated the usefulness of negative spaces, declaring, “Where there is nothing, everything is possible.”
The universe won’t do anything for us except give us the freedom to exist. It is our job to fill the universe with meaning and purpose.
32. What does the author suggest about the“temptation” in paragraph 2?
A. It reflects humanity’s fear of cosmic emptiness.
B. It strengthens people’s scientific curiosity about the void.
C. It leads people to understate Earth’s unique qualities.
D. It comes from the universe’s coldness to human existence.
33 Why does the author reject the temptation?
A. He is a cosmologist who believes science.
B. Earth remains the only known home for human experiences.
C. Human experiences differ from those in voids.
D. Earth’s small size and short life makes it unique.
34. What is the main purpose of paragraph 5?
A. To explain why voids exist in universe and life.
B. To suggest people should remove empty spaces in life.
C. To analyze how emptiness in life offers significance.
D. To prove filling empty spaces creates greater purpose.
35. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Cosmic Voids: A Scientist’s Technical Analysis
B. Filling the Emptiness: Finding Meaning in the Vast Universe
C. Nietzsche Revisited: When Philosophy Meets Astronomy
D. The Silent Universe: Why Our Existence Means Nothing

67. 读后续写
I inhaled deeply, expelling the breath against the rear window of the vehicle, and with a finger, I etched the word ‘DREADFUL’ into the misty surface of the glass, creating a temporary inscription that mirrored my inner turmoil.
My father, casting a brief glance in my direction through the reflective surface of the rearview mirror, offered a comforting remark, “Alex, this journey presents itself as an auspicious occasion for you to reconnect with your maternal and paternal elders.”
The vehicle made a deliberate turn onto a well-trodden dirt path, one that I recognized all too well. We were progressively distancing ourselves from the urban confines, moving further away from the digital tendrils of the Internet, and even more so from the stimulating environment of the computer camp.
“Brighten up, Alex!” exclaimed my mother, her voice carrying a note of optimism. “There is every likelihood that another opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of coding will arise shortly, perhaps even within this very summer season.”
As the car continued its journey, I was acutely aware that all my companions in the realm of programming would be engaged in the act of coding at the computer camp this week, while I, on the other hand, was to be ensconced in the rural setting of a farm. I uttered not a single syllable, and in due course, the vehicle came to a halt in the driveway of my grandparents’ abode. A slender row of trees materialized into view, their presence a stark contrast to the urban landscape I was leaving behind.
I had once taken pleasure in visiting the farm during the spring intermissions before my immersion into coding camps... and before the realization of the extent to which my actions could lead to chaos and disorder.
The engine of the car had not yet ceased its hum when my grandmother, with an agility that belied her years, sprang towards us. From my vantage point in the backseat, I observed as my father and mother embraced my grandmother. I, in turn, reluctantly extracted myself from the vehicle, feeling as though the very force of gravity had grown unusually intense.
“You both are certainly deserving of a respite,” my grandmother was saying, her words directed towards my parents. “Alex will be in good stead — he has always held a fondness for the farm.” She spoke in the past tense, implying that Alex had once cherished the farm.
During the midday meal, my grandmother inquired, “Why such a somber countenance, Alex?” I maintained my silence. Why indeed? It seemed as though they were acting in ignorance of the events that had transpired during my previous visit. For a fleeting moment, my gaze met with my grandmother’s. Could I muster the courage to question her regarding the goats’ destruction of all the flora belonging to our neighbor, Mr. Jackson, an incident that occurred because I had inadvertently lifted the latch and allowed the goats to roam free? Was Mr. Jackson still seething with anger towards me for the considerable damage I had inadvertently caused him?
“I am quite alright,” I muttered, my voice barely audible. “It is merely the absence of the coding camp this week that I am lamenting. Coding is an activity at which I excel.”
My mother offered a nod of understanding. “Ah, that does sound disheartening, but the farm will undoubtedly offer you a different kind of experience.”
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
After lunch, I was on my own when, out of nowhere, there’s Mr. Jackson.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Instead, Mr. Jackson yelled, “Great to see you here, Alex! I need your help with a lamb’s birth.”
