On February 20, the science fiction magazine Clarkesworld was forced to stop accepting any new articles from writers after it was flooded with AI-written stories.
“By the time we closed on the 20th, we had received 500 human-written stories and 700 AI-written ones,” said editor-in-chief Neil Clarke. “It was increasing at such a speed that we figured that by the end of the month, we would have doubled the number of articles we normally have. The rate had been growing from previous months, and we were concerned that we had to do something to stop it.”
Worries about AI misuse have frequently appeared in headlines recently, particularly since the launch of ChatGPT in November, 2022, which can not only answer a broad range of questions, but also create original poems and stories.
Clarke said magazines like his, which pay contributors for their work, were being targeted by people trying to make quick money. He said he had already spoken to editors of other magazines and that all of them had agreed to stop accepting AI-written articles. He also admitted that the humor of his sci-fi magazine being targeted by AI robots is not lost on him.
“You know, our mascot (吉祥物) is a robot. So we see the irony,” he said. “But the thing is that science fiction is often intended to give a warning to people. We don’t celebrate technology just because it exists. We want to make sure that we’re using it right. And there are some significant legal and moral issues around this technology that we’re not ready to accept.
Clarke said the magazine didn’t know how to deal with the issue, and part of the motivation to speak out was in the hope of finding some solutions. He also said the quality of the AI-written stories was very poor.
4. What’s the matter with the magazine Clarkesworld?
A. It will close down forever. B. It was targeted by AI writers.
C. It stopped paying contributors. D. It has lost many good authors.
5. What can we infer about other magazines’ attitude to the AI-written stories?
A. Disapproving. B. Favorable. C. Unknown. D. Tolerant.
6 What does Neil Clarke say about science fiction?
A. It often intends to find some solutions.
B. It welcomes the existing new technologies.
C. It will accept AI-written stories in the near future.
D. It often tries to warn the dark side of technologies.
7. Where is this text most likely from?

For some people, October is Octobear. On October 5, Katmai National Park and Preserve in southern Alaska kicked off Fat Bear Week, when fans compare before and after photos of bears to vote for the one they think has gained the most weight before they bed down for the long freezing winter. Bear 747, also known as “Bear Force One”, took the first-place spot with 68,105 votes. It weighed around 1,400 pounds.
Fat Bear Week started in 2014.At first it was just Fat Bear Tuesday. Mike Fitz, a former park keeper at Katmai, noticed that live webcams showing the bears generated a lot of online comments, so he let people vote for their favorite fat bear on the Internet. The one-day event attracted 1,700 votes. In 2015, it was extended to a week. Last year, nearly 800,000 people got involved, turning it into a global campaign.
The contest serves two main purposes. First, some of America’s national parks are in remote and undeveloped areas, which are difficult or costly to reach. Fat Bear Week brings Alaska’s wilderness to fans’ computer screens. “It’s not limited to the fortunate few who can go to the river anymore, ”Fitz said.
Second, Fat Bear Week brings attention to the bears and the ecosystems they live in. The 2,200 bears of Katmai are strong for feeding on some of the healthiest salmon(三文鱼)in the world, said Sara Wolman, a former park keeper. Salmon in the Pacific Northwest are suffering from overfishing, dam construction and warming rivers due to climate change. Luckily, Brooks River, which Katmai’s bears like to fish in, has been free from these threats so far.
Fat Bear Week has spread like viruses. Fans and creators say it’s because it shows a conservation success story. For one week, people don’t have to focus on climate change or habitat loss. “Maybe things aren’t super great all the time in the world,” said Felicia Jimenez, who is a current Katmai keeper. “But there are some really fat bears in Alaska.”
8. Why did Bear 747 become the winner of Fat Bear Week in southern Alaska?
A. It gained the most pounds. B. It was the heaviest.
C. It presented the best photos. D. It was the most famous.
9. What is the purpose of paragraph 2?
A. To show the popularity of fat bears. B. To review the history of the event.
C. To praise Mike Fitz for his work. D. To explain the role of live webcams.
10. What can we learn about Katmai’s bears?
A. They bring tourists to the park. B. They face a population decline.
C. They remain difficult to be seen. D. They have a stable food source.
11. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. Fat Bear Week: Conservation Is Joyful B. Brown Bears; Winter Survival Is Crucial
C. Bear 747: A Fat Yet Healthy Champion D. Katmai’s Bears: A Special Beauty Contest
D
A small device no bigger than a toaster has generated oxygen on the surface of Mars, bringing the chances of surviving on the red planet a step closer.
The Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment, better known as Moxie, has been generating oxygen from the atmosphere on Mars, as part of NASA’s Perseverance rover (漫游者) mission.
Moxie produced breathable oxygen in seven hour-long tests conducted in various weather and atmosphere conditions since landing. During each test, the device produced six grams of oxygen, about the same as a small tree and enough to sustain an astronaut for 15 minutes. It’s also found that even in extreme temperatures and after a Martian dust storm, Moxie continued to produce high-purity oxygen.
“This is the first demonstration of actually using resources on the surface of another planet and transforming them chemically into something that would be useful for a human mission,” said Jeff Hoffinan, a retired astronaut and professor at MIT.
NASA and the MIT team are planning to build a bigger version of Moxie, as they hope advanced models will produce enough oxygen to support a crewed mission to Mars. “We have to bring a lot of stuff from Earth to support a human mission, but oxygen is a big problem. If you can make it there, go for it and you’re way ahead of the game,” Hoffinan said.
The device uses pumps that absorb in carbon dioxide which is heated to 800℃and processed to separate the carbon and oxygen. Carbon monoxide (一氧化碳) is emitted as waste while the pure oxygen is left behind.
Expanding the device to support a human mission to Mars presents challenges. It is needed to run continuously for 400 days, a leap from the one-hour tests and its inner temperature should be controlled stably. Moxie has proved to endure the extreme conditions on Mars, however, and the team plans to assess the machine’s limits in the coming months when atmosphere is thick and carbon dioxide levels are high. They say they just want to set everything as high as they dare and make as much oxygen as they can.
12. What can we learn about Moxie?
A. It works well in a series of tests.
B. It is stopped by extreme conditions.
C. It aims to purify breathable oxygen.
D. It produces oxygen enough for a team.
13. What is the author’s purpose by quoting Hoffinan’s words in Paragraph 5?
A. To present a plan to further explore Mars.
B. To demonstrate Nasa’s ambition to win the game.
C. To show the plentiful and useful resources on Mars.
D. To highlight the significance of making oxygen on Mars.
14. Which of the following best describes the team according to the last paragraph?
A. Cautious and ambitious. B. Practical and independent.
C. Confident and intelligent. D. Courageous and imaginative.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Nasa Mars rover landed successfully.
B. Challenges for a human mission to Mars.
C. A little oxygen on Mars, a great leap forward.
D Human beings survive with oxygen made on Mars.

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。
Today, community service often feels like something you have to do, not something you want to do. Schools require it for graduation, colleges ask about it in applications, and even employers increasingly inquire about it. This trend appears uplifting, because more volunteers mean stronger nonprofits. But I’ve realized there’s a problem: ____16____
I’ve encountered students who talk about volunteering like it’s a competition. They declare involvement with charity organizations proudly, only to reveal astonishing gaps when questioned further. “I did 100 hours,” one might say, yet struggles to explain the missions of the organizations. ____17____ When did helping others become about counting hours instead of making a difference?
True service isn’t measured in hours or reduced to strategic career moves. ____18____ Imagine helping build a wheelchair ramp (坡道) for an elderly neighbor so they can leave their house. Or teaching math to kids who can’t afford tutors because you noticed they were struggling. At its core, meaningful service demands emotional investment — the willingness to center others’ wellbeing above personal gain.
Reforming this system requires fundamentally rethinking how we evaluate commitment. Colleges and employers must shift from quantitative checkboxes to qualitative assessments. Instead of asking “How many hours did you serve?”, applications might inquire: “What social challenge moved you to act?” or “____19____”
____20____ Volunteer because it is the right thing to do as a human being. If we care more about why we help instead of how much we help, community service can become what it’s meant to be — people working together to make the world a little kinder, one small act at a time.
A. It’s definitely about caring.
B. This makes me really upset.
C. Don’t volunteer because you have to.
D. It is determined by who we offer help to.
E. How did your service meet the needs of your community?
F. How many times a year did you volunteer for charity work?
G. When we treat kindness like an assignment, are we really being kind?

Hearing the Olympics were coming to Vancouver, I decided to go for its voluntary work. I’d forgotten what it was like to put myself out there to make friends.

As night fell before the opening ceremonies, I was stationed outside the MMC. Accents from all over ____23____ my ears. The games seemed to ____24____ the whole world. Suddenly, I could see people running toward the harbour. I turned to Callie, “Isn’t that the way to the torch (火炬)?” We looked at each other and started to run. My heart pounded as I sprinted. The air seemed to be ____25____ with everyone’s excitement, like a kind of electric energy pulsing through us. I’d never felt a(n) ____26____ like it before. Then, fireworks ____27____ into the air above us. Their bright colors glittered against the dark sky. I had ____28____ the lighting of the torch many times on TV, but to actually see it ____29____ was amazing. When the last of the fireworks ____30____, there stood the Olympic torch unveiled (揭幕) in all its ____31____ with its flames licking at the night sky.
Even now, I can still remember the heat from the torch. I had been one of the ____32____ MMC staff to walk underneath it while it burned. A beacon (灯塔) of ____33____ for the future. I stood for a moment right under it, listening to the ____34____ voices of my new friends, and I knew I’d made one of the best ____35____ of my life.

During the recent National Day holiday, the Ailao Mountains, located in Southwest China’s Yunnan Province, became ___36___ unexpected sensation online.
A viral video from a content creator, who adventured into the Ailao Mountains alone to gather materials, ___37___(showcase) the range’s mist-covered peaks, tranquil waters, and untamed wilderness. Attracted by the mystique, many tourists flocked to this once relatively unknown destination during the holiday. What was once a thinly ___38___(populate) “forbidden zone” quickly turned into a crowded “tourist spot”.
Contrary to ___39___ some may think, the Ailao Mountains are a vast range instead of a single peak. ___40___(stretch) about 400 kilometers, it runs through central Yunnan, forming a natural boundary ___41___ the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and the Hengduan Mountains. While some parts have been developed into scenic areas, much of the Ailao Mountains remain untouched.
According to veteran geologist Wang Yu, the mountain’s terrain is rugged (崎岖的), with steep vertical ___42___ (drop) and six different climate zones. “The complex climate, which ranges from tropical to alpine, makes it easy for weather ___43___(change) suddenly. Once you enter the dense forest, it’s easy to lose your way and encounter dangers like venomous snakes, leeches, and wild animals,” Wang warned.
In 2021, the dangers of the region became ___44___ (tragic) evident when four professional geologists from the Kunming Natural Resources Comprehensive Survey Center of China Geological Survey went missing and were later found dead in the Ailao Mountains, the youngest of ____45____ was 25, and the oldest 32.
While the allure of the Ailao Mountains’ wild beauty is undeniable, it’s crucial not to embark on such adventures without preparation!

When Dylan was just seven years old, he moved to the United States with his mother, Khadine, and his twin younger brothers. The family hoped that their new home would allow them to start over and find success. However, their dream didn’t work out exactly as they imagined it would.
Life as a single mother supporting three kids is incredibly difficult, but Khadine had a particularly difficult time after her twin sons had been diagnosed with serious heart conditions. As a result, the boys suffered from dangerous symptoms and required 24-hour care. As Khadine had to work three jobs to support her family financially, it became Dylan’s responsibility to look after his young brothers. To relieve Mom’s stress, Dylan also found a part-time job at a recreation center.
While Dylan never considered his family to be a burden to him, seeing his mother and brothers become vulnerable (脆弱的) made him determined to plan his future out correctly. He believed education was the only way out of their struggle, so he made a promise to his mother that he would be the first one in the family to go to college.
For that promise, Dylan made use of each and every minute to study while taking care of his brothers. He soon became an honor student at Henry High School and took several advanced classes to keep his grades up. The College of New Jersey was his top choice. He was determined to put that admission letter in his mother’s hands.
However, weeks before Dylan’s college entrance exam, both his family and his determination were tested again when Khadine fell ill and was unable to work for a while. Soon, the bills became unmanageable and the landlord evicted (驱逐) Dylan’s family after Khadine couldn’t pay the rent. The family had no choice but to live in the shelter. The place wasn’t an ideal place to study. It was often noisy and crowded, and the lights would go out at a certain time after 11 p.m.
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。
But Dylan continued to follow his dream.

The contest serves two main purposes. First, some of America’s national parks are in remote and undeveloped areas, which are difficult or costly to reach. Fat Bear Week brings Alaska’s wilderness to fans’ computer screens. “It’s not limited to the fortunate few who can go to the river anymore, ”Fitz said.
Second, Fat Bear Week brings attention to the bears and the ecosystems they live in. The 2,200 bears of Katmai are strong for feeding on some of the healthiest salmon(三文鱼)in the world, said Sara Wolman, a former park keeper. Salmon in the Pacific Northwest are suffering from overfishing, dam construction and warming rivers due to climate change. Luckily, Brooks River, which Katmai’s bears like to fish in, has been free from these threats so far.
Fat Bear Week has spread like viruses. Fans and creators say it’s because it shows a conservation success story. For one week, people don’t have to focus on climate change or habitat loss. “Maybe things aren’t super great all the time in the world,” said Felicia Jimenez, who is a current Katmai keeper. “But there are some really fat bears in Alaska.”

【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Fat Bear Week started in 2014.At first it was just Fat Bear Tuesday. Mike Fitz, a former park keeper at Katmai, noticed that live webcams showing the bears generated a lot of online comments, so he let people vote for their favorite fat bear on the Internet. The one-day event attracted 1,700 votes. In 2015, it was extended to a week.

【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“Luckily, Brooks River, which Katmai’s bears like to fish in, has been free from these threats so far. (幸运的是,到目前为止,布鲁克斯河还没有受到这些威胁,卡特迈公园的熊喜欢在此捕鱼)”可知,卡特迈公园的熊有一个稳定的食物来源。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其最后一段中“Fat Bear Week has spread like viruses. Fans and creators say it’s because it shows a conservation success story. (胖熊周像病毒一样传播开来。粉丝和创作者说,这是因为它展示了一个环保成功的故事)”可知,文章主要介绍了阿拉斯加南部的卡特迈国家公园和自然保护区举行的“胖熊周”活动,它以一种竞技方式让人们关注熊及它们所居住的生态系统。由此可知,A项“胖熊周:环境保护也可以很快乐”适合作为文章标题。故选A。
D
A small device no bigger than a toaster has generated oxygen on the surface of Mars, bringing the chances of surviving on the red planet a step closer.
The Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment, better known as Moxie, has been generating oxygen from the atmosphere on Mars, as part of NASA’s Perseverance rover (漫游者) mission.
Moxie produced breathable oxygen in seven hour-long tests conducted in various weather and atmosphere conditions since landing. During each test, the device produced six grams of oxygen, about the same as a small tree and enough to sustain an astronaut for 15 minutes. It’s also found that even in extreme temperatures and after a Martian dust storm, Moxie continued to produce high-purity oxygen.
“This is the first demonstration of actually using resources on the surface of another planet and transforming them chemically into something that would be useful for a human mission,” said Jeff Hoffinan, a retired astronaut and professor at MIT.
NASA and the MIT team are planning to build a bigger version of Moxie, as they hope advanced models will produce enough oxygen to support a crewed mission to Mars. “We have to bring a lot of stuff from Earth to support a human mission, but oxygen is a big problem. If you can make it there, go for it and you’re way ahead of the game,” Hoffinan said.
The device uses pumps that absorb in carbon dioxide which is heated to 800℃and processed to separate the carbon and oxygen. Carbon monoxide (一氧化碳) is emitted as waste while the pure oxygen is left behind.
Expanding the device to support a human mission to Mars presents challenges. It is needed to run continuously for 400 days, a leap from the one-hour tests and its inner temperature should be controlled stably. Moxie has proved to endure the extreme conditions on Mars, however, and the team plans to assess the machine’s limits in the coming months when atmosphere is thick and carbon dioxide levels are high. They say they just want to set everything as high as they dare and make as much oxygen as they can.
12. What can we learn about Moxie?
A. It works well in a series of tests.
B. It is stopped by extreme conditions.
C. It aims to purify breathable oxygen.
D. It produces oxygen enough for a team.
13. What is the author’s purpose by quoting Hoffinan’s words in Paragraph 5?
A. To present a plan to further explore Mars.
B. To demonstrate Nasa’s ambition to win the game.
C. To show the plentiful and useful resources on Mars.
D. To highlight the significance of making oxygen on Mars.
14. Which of the following best describes the team according to the last paragraph?
A. Cautious and ambitious. B. Practical and independent.
C. Confident and intelligent. D. Courageous and imaginative.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Nasa Mars rover landed successfully.
B. Challenges for a human mission to Mars.
C. A little oxygen on Mars, a great leap forward.
D. Human beings survive with oxygen made on Mars.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了是这个Moxie设备,它能让人类在登录火星后产生大量的氧气,这使人类在火星上生存的机会更近了一步。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Moxie produced breathable oxygen in seven hour-long tests conducted in various weather and atmosphere conditions since landing. During each test, the device produced six grams of oxygen, about the same as a small tree and enough to sustain an astronaut for 15 minutes. (Moxie在着陆后在各种天气和大气条件下进行了7个小时的测试,产生了可呼吸的氧气。在每次测试中,该设备产生了6克氧气,大约相当于一棵小树,足以维持一名宇航员15分钟的生命)”可知,Moxie在一系列实验中起着良好的作用。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中““We have to bring a lot of stuff from Earth to support a human mission, but oxygen is a big problem. If you can make it there, go for it and you’re way ahead of the game,” Hoffinan said.(“我们必须从地球上带很多东西来支持人类的任务,但氧气是个大问题。如果你能做到,那就努力去做,你已经走在了探索的前面。”Hoffinan说)”可知,氧气可以支持人类在火星的任务,如果有了氧气就走在了探索的前面。由此推知,本段引用Hoffinan的话是为了强调在火星上制造氧气的重要性。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It is needed to run continuously for 400 days, a leap from the one-hour tests and its inner temperature should be controlled stably.(它需要连续运行400天,远远超过1小时的测试,其内部温度需要稳定控制)”可知,研究团队需要花费大量时间进行测试,保证内部温度稳定,体现出研究团队的严谨性,同时根据本段中“Moxie has proved to endure the extreme conditions on Mars, however, and the team plans to assess the machine’s limits in the coming months when atmosphere is thick and carbon dioxide levels are high. (Moxie已经被证明能忍受火星上的极端条件,研究小组计划在未来几个月评估机器的极限,那时大气很厚,二氧化碳含量很高)”可知,Moxie已经被证明能忍受火星上的极端条件但是研究小组继续坚持突破极限,这是有抱负的体现。综上,故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中“Moxie produced breathable oxygen in seven hour-long tests conducted in various weather and atmosphere conditions since landing. (Moxie在着陆后在各种天气和大气条件下进行了7个小时的测试,产生了可呼吸的氧气)”以及第一段中“A small device no bigger than a toaster has generated oxygen on the surface of Mars, bringing the chances of surviving on the red planet a step closer.( 一个比烤面包机大不了多少的小装置在火星表面产生了氧气,这使在这颗红色星球上生存的机会更近了一步)”可知,本文主要介绍了是这个Moxie设备,它能让人类在登录火星后产生大量的氧气,这使人类在火星上生存的机会更近了一步。C选项“A little oxygen on Mars, a great leap forward.(火星上有一点氧气,这是一个巨大的飞跃)”可以概括全文。故选C。
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。
Today, community service often feels like something you have to do, not something you want to do. Schools require it for graduation, colleges ask about it in applications, and even employers increasingly inquire about it. This trend appears uplifting, because more volunteers mean stronger nonprofits. But I’ve realized there’s a problem: ____16____
I’ve encountered students who talk about volunteering like it’s a competition. They declare involvement with charity organizations proudly, only to reveal astonishing gaps when questioned further. “I did 100 hours,” one might say, yet struggles to explain the missions of the organizations. ____17____ When did helping others become about counting hours instead of making a difference?
True service isn’t measured in hours or reduced to strategic career moves. ____18____ Imagine helping build a wheelchair ramp (坡道) for an elderly neighbor so they can leave their house. Or teaching math to kids who can’t afford tutors because you noticed they were struggling. At its core, meaningful service demands emotional investment — the willingness to center others’ wellbeing above personal gain.
Reforming this system requires fundamentally rethinking how we evaluate commitment. Colleges and employers must shift from quantitative checkboxes to qualitative assessments. Instead of asking “How many hours did you serve?”, applications might inquire: “What social challenge moved you to act?” or “____19____”
____20____ Volunteer because it is the right thing to do as a human being. If we care more about why we help instead of how much we help, community service can become what it’s meant to be — people working together to make the world a little kinder, one small act at a time.
A. It’s definitely about caring.
B. This makes me really upset.
C. Don’t volunteer because you have to.
D It is determined by who we offer help to.
E. How did your service meet the needs of your community?
F. How many times a year did you volunteer for charity work?
G. When we treat kindness like an assignment, are we really being kind?
【答案】16. G 17. B 18. A 19. E 20. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了社区服务的现状和问题,并提出了一些改进的建议。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Today, community service often feels like something you have to do, not something you want to do. Schools require it for graduation, colleges ask about it in applications, and even employers increasingly inquire about it. This trend appears uplifting, because more volunteers mean stronger nonprofits.(如今,社区服务往往感觉是你必须做的事情,而不是你想做的事情。学校要求毕业时必须做,大学在申请时会问,甚至雇主也越来越多地询问。这一趋势看起来令人振奋,因为更多的志愿者意味着更强的非营利组织。)”和空前“But I’ve realized there’s a problem.(但是我意识到有一个问题。)”可知,上下文之间存在转折关系,且下文引出了问题,所以空白处应承接下文,指出问题所在。选项G“当我们把善良当作一项任务时,我们真的是在行善吗?”指出了把社区服务当作必须完成的任务这一问题,引出下文,符合语境。故选G。
【17题详解】
根据上文“They declare involvement with charity organizations proudly, only to reveal astonishing gaps when questioned further. “I did 100 hours,” one might say, yet struggles to explain the missions of the organizations.(他们自豪地宣称自己参与了慈善组织,但当被进一步询问时,却暴露出了惊人的差距。“我做了100个小时,”有人可能会说,但却难以解释这些组织的使命。)”可知,一些学生虽然参与了志愿服务,但却对志愿服务的组织和使命不了解,这让作者感到沮丧。选项B“这让我真的很沮丧”符合语境。故选B。
【18题详解】
根据上文“True service isn’t measured in hours or reduced to strategic career moves.(真正的服务不是以小时来衡量,也不是简化为战略性的职业变动。)”和下文“Imagine helping build a wheelchair ramp for an elderly neighbor so they can leave their house. Or teaching math to kids who can’t afford tutors because you noticed they were struggling. At its core, meaningful service demands emotional investment — the willingness to center others’ wellbeing above personal gain.(想象一下,帮助一位年长的邻居建造一个轮椅坡道,这样他们就可以离开自己的房子。或者因为你注意到孩子们在挣扎,就给那些请不起家教的孩子教数学。从根本上说,有意义的服务需要情感投入——愿意把他人的福祉置于个人利益之上。)”可知,真正的服务不在于时长,而在于对他人的关怀和帮助。选项A“这绝对是关于关怀”承上启下,符合语境。故选A。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Instead of asking “How many hours did you serve?”, applications might inquire: “What social challenge moved you to act?” or…(申请时,不要问“你服务了多少小时?”,而是可以问:“是什么社会挑战促使你采取行动?”或者……”。)”可知,此处列举了一些除了问志愿服务时长之外的问题,这些问题应更侧重于志愿服务的实质。选项E“你的服务是如何满足社区需求的?”是一个与志愿服务实质相关的问题,符合语境。故选E。
【20题详解】
根据下文“Volunteer because it is the right thing to do as a human being.(做志愿者是因为这是作为一个人应该做的事情。)”可知,做志愿者是出于本心,而不是因为必须去做。选项C“不要因为你必须去做而去做志愿者”引出下文,符合语境。故选C。

A Traditional Chinese Festival Food
Chinese festival food is a crucial element of traditional Chinese culture, with a wide variety of mouth-watering dishes. Today, I’d like to introduce dumplings, a traditional food that holds a special place in Chinese culture.
Dumplings are made of thin dough wrapped around a filling, usually consisting of meat and vegetables. They are often boiled or steamed and served with dipping sauce. Dumplings are not only delicious but also symbolize wealth and good fortune because their shape resembles ancient Chinese gold ingots.
In Chinese culture, dumplings are especially important during the Spring Festival. Families gather to make and eat dumplings together, which represents unity and happiness. This tradition has been passed down for generations, making dumplings a meaningful part of Chinese festivals.

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。
When Dylan was just seven years old, he moved to the United States with his mother, Khadine, and his twin younger brothers. The family hoped that their new home would allow them to start over and find success. However, their dream didn’t work out exactly as they imagined it would.
Life as a single mother supporting three kids is incredibly difficult, but Khadine had a particularly difficult time after her twin sons had been diagnosed with serious heart conditions. As a result, the boys suffered from dangerous symptoms and required 24-hour care. As Khadine had to work three jobs to support her family financially, it became Dylan’s responsibility to look after his young brothers. To relieve Mom’s stress, Dylan also found a part-time job at a recreation center.
While Dylan never considered his family to be a burden to him, seeing his mother and brothers become vulnerable (脆弱的) made him determined to plan his future out correctly. He believed education was the only way out of their struggle, so he made a promise to his mother that he would be the first one in the family to go to college.
For that promise, Dylan made use of each and every minute to study while taking care of his brothers. He soon became an honor student at Henry High School and took several advanced classes to keep his grades up. The College of New Jersey was his top choice. He was determined to put that admission letter in his mother’s hands.
However, weeks before Dylan’s college entrance exam, both his family and his determination were tested again when Khadine fell ill and was unable to work for a while. Soon, the bills became unmanageable and the landlord evicted (驱逐) Dylan’s family after Khadine couldn’t pay the rent. The family had no choice but to live in the shelter. The place wasn’t an ideal place to study. It was often noisy and crowded, and the lights would go out at a certain time after 11 p.m.
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。
But Dylan continued to follow his dream.

【答案】One possible version:
But Dylan continued to follow his dream. During his time at the shelter, Dylan had to go to work at the recreation center after school. He then hurried back to the shelter at 9 p.m. so that he could do his homework for two hours before the lights were off. The noise didn’t bother him as he was focused on his study and the promise that he had made to his mother. All of these had continued until he finally finished the entrance exam and submitted the application to his dream college.
Weeks after his application, an envelope carrying good news arrived. It was the admission letter from the College of New Jersey! All of Dylan’s hard work proved to be worthwhile. In great excitement, he rushed back to the shelter and handed the letter over to his mother, who cried out of joy. Going through homelessness let the family know that there will always be obstacles, but now with Dylan’s great news, the future looks much brighter than before.
