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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
C
Certain values carry more weight in spring and autumn than in summer and winter. As leaves fall, snow sweeps in or flowers blossom, humans change in measurable ways, too. Research suggests that emotions, eating habits, and even favorite colors vary across the year. And now a study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA shows how moral values can also change.
For the study, researchers examined over 230,000 online surveys collected over ten years, mainly from Americans, with smaller groups in Canada, Australia, and the U.K.. The surveys used a social science model called “moral foundation s theory (道德基础理论)” which identifies five core values guiding human behavior. These include loyalty (staying true to one’s own group), authority (respecting leaders and rules), and purity (avoiding wrongdoing), classified as “group-focused values” as they help communities stay connected. The remaining two—care (protecting others from harm) and fairness (treating people equally)—are termed “self-focused values” concerning personal rights.
One explanation for seasonal changes could be anxiety (焦虑). Data from 90,000 surveys and internet searches indicate that anxiety peaks in spring and autumn. Psychologist Brian O’ Shea explains, “Anxiety makes people feel threatened, leading them to distrust outsiders and seek safety within their own groups.” These emotional shifts could affect not only everyday decisions but also broader social events such as court decisions, elections, or public health policies.
However, experts say the data mostly come from rich Western countries. Psychologist Ivory Toldson warns that while these findings work for wealthy groups, they may not be true for marginalized ones facing different problems. Lead researcher Ian Hohm agrees the pattern doesn’t affect everyone equally, but notes that the study shows how seasons influence human psychology.
“Humans are seasonal beings,” says psychiatrist Norman Rosenthal, known for studying seasonal mood changes. “Our inner feelings directly impact our actions.” This research reminds us that nature’s rhythms quietly guide our moral judgement.
8. How does “moral foundations theory” support the research?
A. It analyses the diversity of human behaviors.
B. It compares moral values in various cultures.
C. It provides five values to measure moral changes.
D. It proves the significant role of “group-focused values”.
9. What is the possible impact of anxiety during stressful seasons?
A. Threatening safety of outsiders.
B. Promoting respect for moral rules.
C. Increasing focus on personal rights.
D. Influencing social decision-making.
10. What does the underlined word “marginalized” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Respected. B. Disadvantaged. C. Educated. D. Disabled.
11. What is Norman’s attitude toward seasonal impact on human behavior?
A. Curious. B. Doubtful. C. Confident. D. Reserved.
D
Ever wondered what happens to the recyclables you carefully sort and place in your bin? For years, recycling has been an important part of our efforts to reduce waste and protect the environment. However, the recycling industry has faced significant challenges, from rising costs to labor (劳动力)shortages.
But what if technology could transform (改变) this process, making recycling faster, more efficient and actually effective? That’s exactly what AMP Robotics, a Colorado-based company, is working toward. At the heart of AMP’s advancement is its artificial intelligence platform, which uses deep learning to analyze millions of images of waste. This technology enables robots to identify recyclable materials by recognizing patterns in colors, textures, shapes and logos, spotting a single plastic bottle in a sea of trash faster than any human.
AMP Robotics is not alone in applying the power of artificial intelligence to transforming waste management. Across Europe and the U. K. companies like Greyparrot and Recycleye are using AI technologies to improve sorting efficiency.
Greyparrot uses cameras and machine learning to monitor waste streams in real time, providing detailed insights into material composition. This helps centers maximize resource recovery. Similarly, Recycleye uses robotic arms equipped with AI to automate sorting processes, increasing the purity of recovered materials and promoting productivity.
AI applications go far beyond sorting lines. For instance, WestRock is using AI to design sustainable (可持续的) packaging that replaces plastics with fiber-based materials. Their advancements include creating packaging resistant (防……的) to water and oil while maintaining recyclability, helping brands make the turn to more eco-friendly solutions. Governments are also using AI-driven recycling systems, such as Tasmania’s $ 24 million materials recovery site, which processes recyclables from thousands of households using advanced AI systems.
In metal recycling, AI is being used to predict market trends by analyzing large amounts of data on prices, supply, demand and trade patterns. This allows recyclers to regulate production based on anticipated (预期的) demand for specific metals. Together, these efforts illustrate how AI is transforming waste management globally, making recycling more efficient, sustainable and impactful.
12. How do robots in AMP Robotics recognize recyclables?
A. By identifying patterns using deep learning.
B. By measuring the size with digital cameras.
C. By weighing the waste using an AI platform.
D. By analyzing materials through metal sensors.
13. Why does the author mention Tasmania’s materials recovery site in Paragraph 5?
A. To stress the huge cost of recycling.
B. To praise the government’s great efforts in recycling.
C. To illustrate how AI-driven recycling systems work.
D. To show the wide application of AI in recycling.
14. What can be inferred from the last paragraph about AI in metal recycling?
A. AI makes metal recyclers ignore market changes completely.
B. Analyzing data on prices and supply is unnecessary for predicting market trends.
C. Recyclers can adjust their production according to the expected demand for certain metals.
D. AI’s prediction of market trends has no influence on the production of metal recyclers.
15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Rise of AI-Powered Robots
B. AI: A Key to Reshaping Waste Management
C. Labor Shortages and Cost Issues in Recycling
D. Sustainable Packaging: A New AI-Driven Solution
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。
In the 1960s and 1970s the greatest fear was that the human race, and possibly all advanced life forms on the planet, could be wiped out by nuclear missiles. ____16____ Scientists are thinking of ways to lower this risk, such as replacing coal and oil with forms of renewable energy. But they are also preparing for the worst: what can we do if the earth can no longer sustain us?
____17____ The most likely choice is Mars which is relatively close to Earth and has an environment more friendly than that of other planets. Mars has fascinated people since ancient times, and today our interest in Martian exploration is greater than ever before. Since the 1960s, we have been sending unmanned spacecraft to Mars. ____18____ Our robots have explored the Martian surface, testing the soil and searching for resources, water and signs of life.
However, sending people there will require all the skill, courage and intelligence of the human race. While the Moon can be reached within days, it would take months to reach Mars, travelling through dangerous solar radiation. And even if the first settlers do reach Mars safely, they may not be able to return to Earth — ever. ____19____ As early as the 1980s, scientists were building Biosphere 2 in the Arizona desert, consisting of a closed space in which people, animals and plants could live together. Although the two-year experiment was a failure, it did provide us with a better understanding of how humans might be able to live on another planet.
Anyway human settlement of Mars is still decades away. In the meantime, scientific research shows that the planet Earth is getting warmer. This change is being caused by human activity and is having a terrible effect on the globe. ____20____
A. That definitely is a big step forward.
B. Right now, it’s the only one we have.
C. One option is to explore other planets to see if we could live on them.
D. Staying alive will be a daily challenge, but isn’t impossible, as proved by scientists.
E. Our probes have orbited the planet, sending back valuable data and stunning images.
F. Today, however, environmental problems have taken over as the greatest risk to life on Earth.
G. Until we are finally able to live on another planet, we need to take far better care of our own.

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。

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。
【7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。

Certain values carry more weight in spring and autumn than in summer and winter. As leaves fall, snow sweeps in or flowers blossom, humans change in measurable ways, too. Research suggests that emotions, eating habits, and even favorite colors vary across the year. And now a study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA shows how moral values can also change.
For the study, researchers examined over 230,000 online surveys collected over ten years, mainly from Americans, with smaller groups in Canada, Australia, and the U.K.. The surveys used a social science model called “moral foundation s theory (道德基础理论)” which identifies five core values guiding human behavior. These include loyalty (staying true to one’s own group), authority (respecting leaders and rules), and purity (avoiding wrongdoing), classified as “group-focused values” as they help communities stay connected. The remaining two—care (protecting others from harm) and fairness (treating people equally)—are termed “self-focused values” concerning personal rights.
One explanation for seasonal changes could be anxiety (焦虑). Data from 90,000 surveys and internet searches indicate that anxiety peaks in spring and autumn. Psychologist Brian O’ Shea explains, “Anxiety makes people feel threatened, leading them to distrust outsiders and seek safety within their own groups.” These emotional shifts could affect not only everyday decisions but also broader social events such as court decisions, elections, or public health policies.
However, experts say the data mostly come from rich Western countries. Psychologist Ivory Toldson warns that while these findings work for wealthy groups, they may not be true for marginalized ones facing different problems. Lead researcher Ian Hohm agrees the pattern doesn’t affect everyone equally, but notes that the study shows how seasons influence human psychology.
“Humans are seasonal beings,” says psychiatrist Norman Rosenthal, known for studying seasonal mood changes. “Our inner feelings directly impact our actions.” This research reminds us that nature’s rhythms quietly guide our moral judgement.
8. How does “moral foundations theory” support the research?
A. It analyses the diversity of human behaviors.
B. It compares moral values in various cultures.
C. It provides five values to measure moral changes.
D. It proves the significant role of “group-focused values”.
9. What is the possible impact of anxiety during stressful seasons?
A. Threatening safety of outsiders.
B. Promoting respect for moral rules.
C. Increasing focus on personal rights.
D Influencing social decision-making.
10. What does the underlined word “marginalized” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Respected. B. Disadvantaged. C. Educated. D. Disabled.
11. What is Norman’s attitude toward seasonal impact on human behavior?
A. Curious. B. Doubtful. C. Confident. D. Reserved.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过介绍一项研究,阐述了道德价值观会随季节变化而改变的现象,并解释了可能的原因,同时指出了该研究的局限性,向读者说明季节对人类道德判断的影响这一科学发现。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The surveys used a social science model called “moral foundation s theory (道德基础理论)” which identifies five core values guiding human behavior. These include loyalty (staying true to one’s own group), authority (respecting leaders and rules), and purity (avoiding wrongdoing), classified as “group-focused values” as they help communities stay connected. The remaining two — care (protecting others from harm) and fairness (treating people equally)—are termed “self-focused values” concerning personal rights.(这些调查采用了社会科学领域的“道德基础理论”模型,该模型界定了指导人类行为的五大核心价值观:包括忠诚(对所属群体忠诚)、权威(尊重领导者和规则)、纯洁(避免错误行为)—— 这三类被归为“群体导向价值观”,有助于维系社区联结;剩余两类 —— 关怀(保护他人免受伤害)和公平(平等待人)——则被称为“自我导向价值观”,关乎个人权利。)”可知,道德基础理论界定了五大核心价值观(忠诚、权威、纯洁、关怀、公平),研究者通过这些价值观来衡量道德变化。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“These emotional shifts could affect not only everyday decisions but also broader social events such as court decisions, elections, or public health policies.(这些情绪波动不仅会影响日常决策,还可能对法庭裁决、选举或公共卫生政策等重大社会事件产生影响。)”可知,焦虑引发的情绪波动会影响“法庭裁决、选举、公共卫生政策”等社会决策。故选D。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词所在语境“However, experts say the data mostly come from rich Western countries. Psychologist Ivory Toldson warns that while these findings work for wealthy groups, they may not be true for marginalized ones facing different problems.(然而,专家指出这些数据主要来自富裕的西方国家。心理学家Ivory Toldson警告称,尽管这些发现适用于富裕群体,但对面临不同问题的……群体可能不成立。)”可推测,“marginalized”与“wealthy groups”形成对比,且后文提到这些群体“facing different problems(面临不同问题)”,可推断其指“处于不利地位的”群体。选项B“Disadvantaged”,意为“不利的”,与此相符。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““Humans are seasonal beings,” says psychiatrist Norman Rosenthal, known for studying seasonal mood changes. “Our inner feelings directly impact our actions.” This research reminds us that nature’s rhythms quietly guide our moral judgement.(以研究季节性情绪变化闻名的精神病学家Norman Rosenthal表示:“人类是季节性生物,内心感受会直接影响行为。”这项研究提醒我们,自然的节律正悄然指引着我们的道德判断。)”可知,Norman Rosenthal语气坚定,明确肯定了季节对人类行为的影响。故选C。
D
Ever wondered what happens to the recyclables you carefully sort and place in your bin? For years, recycling has been an important part of our efforts to reduce waste and protect the environment. However, the recycling industry has faced significant challenges, from rising costs to labor (劳动力)shortages.
But what if technology could transform (改变) this process, making recycling faster, more efficient and actually effective? That’s exactly what AMP Robotics, a Colorado-based company, is working toward. At the heart of AMP’s advancement is its artificial intelligence platform, which uses deep learning to analyze millions of images of waste. This technology enables robots to identify recyclable materials by recognizing patterns in colors, textures, shapes and logos, spotting a single plastic bottle in a sea of trash faster than any human.
AMP Robotics is not alone in applying the power of artificial intelligence to transforming waste management. Across Europe and the U. K. companies like Greyparrot and Recycleye are using AI technologies to improve sorting efficiency.
Greyparrot uses cameras and machine learning to monitor waste streams in real time, providing detailed insights into material composition. This helps centers maximize resource recovery. Similarly, Recycleye uses robotic arms equipped with AI to automate sorting processes, increasing the purity of recovered materials and promoting productivity.
AI applications go far beyond sorting lines. For instance, WestRock is using AI to design sustainable (可持续的) packaging that replaces plastics with fiber-based materials. Their advancements include creating packaging resistant (防……的) to water and oil while maintaining recyclability, helping brands make the turn to more eco-friendly solutions. Governments are also using AI-driven recycling systems, such as Tasmania’s $ 24 million materials recovery site, which processes recyclables from thousands of households using advanced AI systems.
In metal recycling, AI is being used to predict market trends by analyzing large amounts of data on prices, supply, demand and trade patterns. This allows recyclers to regulate production based on anticipated (预期的) demand for specific metals. Together, these efforts illustrate how AI is transforming waste management globally, making recycling more efficient, sustainable and impactful.
12. How do robots in AMP Robotics recognize recyclables?
A. By identifying patterns using deep learning.
B. By measuring the size with digital cameras.
C. By weighing the waste using an AI platform.
D. By analyzing materials through metal sensors.
13. Why does the author mention Tasmania’s materials recovery site in Paragraph 5?
A. To stress the huge cost of recycling.
B. To praise the government’s great efforts in recycling.
C. To illustrate how AI-driven recycling systems work.
D. To show the wide application of AI in recycling.
14. What can be inferred from the last paragraph about AI in metal recycling?
A. AI makes metal recyclers ignore market changes completely.
B. Analyzing data on prices and supply is unnecessary for predicting market trends.
C. Recyclers can adjust their production according to the expected demand for certain metals.
D. AI’s prediction of market trends has no influence on the production of metal recyclers.
15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Rise of AI-Powered Robots
B. AI: A Key to Reshaping Waste Management
C. Labor Shortages and Cost Issues in Recycling
D. Sustainable Packaging: A New AI-Driven Solution
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B

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。
In the 1960s and 1970s, the greatest fear was that the human race, and possibly all advanced life forms on the planet, could be wiped out by nuclear missiles. ____16____ Scientists are thinking of ways to lower this risk, such as replacing coal and oil with forms of renewable energy. But they are also preparing for the worst: what can we do if the earth can no longer sustain us?
____17____ The most likely choice is Mars, which is relatively close to Earth and has an environment more friendly than that of other planets. Mars has fascinated people since ancient times, and today our interest in Martian exploration is greater than ever before. Since the 1960s, we have been sending unmanned spacecraft to Mars. ____18____ Our robots have explored the Martian surface, testing the soil and searching for resources, water and signs of life.
However, sending people there will require all the skill, courage and intelligence of the human race. While the Moon can be reached within days, it would take months to reach Mars, travelling through dangerous solar radiation. And even if the first settlers do reach Mars safely, they may not be able to return to Earth — ever. ____19____ As early as the 1980s, scientists were building Biosphere 2 in the Arizona desert, consisting of a closed space in which people, animals and plants could live together. Although the two-year experiment was a failure, it did provide us with a better understanding of how humans might be able to live on another planet.
Anyway, human settlement of Mars is still decades away. In the meantime, scientific research shows that the planet Earth is getting warmer. This change is being caused by human activity and is having a terrible effect on the globe. ____20____
A. That definitely is a big step forward.
B. Right now, it’s the only one we have.
C. One option is to explore other planets to see if we could live on them.
D. Staying alive will be a daily challenge, but isn’t impossible, as proved by scientists.
E. Our probes have orbited the planet, sending back valuable data and stunning images.
F. Today, however, environmental problems have taken over as the greatest risk to life on Earth.
G. Until we are finally able to live on another planet, we need to take far better care of our own.

Should Senior High School Students Take Part in After-school Activities?
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文一(反对)
Our school newspaper asked if senior high students should join after-school activities. Some students say yes, believing activities help them find new interests, learn to work with others, and reduce worry. However, others feel differently.
I believe these activities are not a good idea for most students. High school study is very important for our future. We need to work hard every day. After-school activities take valuable time away from finishing homework and preparing for tests. They also use energy we need to focus on our lessons. With so much schoolwork, adding activities makes life harder, not easier. It is better to wait until we have less school pressure.
范文二(支持)
Our school newspaper discusses whether senior high students should join after-school activities. Some worry these activities take time from homework and make students tired. Others argue that they help develop interests, improve teamwork skills, and reduce stress.
I strongly support joining these activities. While study is important, after-school activities teach us things books cannot. They let us explore new interests like music or sports. Working with classmates helps us learn to solve problems together and build friendships. Most importantly, they offer a break from heavy schoolwork, refreshing our minds and making learning easier later. Balancing activities and study is key, but their benefits shape us beyond the classroom.
