In 2006, as a 10-year-old living in one of Delhi’s busiest markets, I would often run downstairs to buy milk, eggs or vegetables for my mother. The shopkeepers knew me by face and often guessed my order before I even spoke. These small market runs taught me more than I realised at the time — quick mental maths, conversations with strangers, and backup plans when a shop was shut. So much unintentional learning.
Over time these routines became daily comfort. Whether it was me or my mother, we enjoyed the smiles, brief chats, and snacks along the way — small moments that quietly held our lives together.
Now, things are different. With Blinkit, Zepto, and Instamart, groceries arrive in 10 minutes. While I still enjoy shopping in the market after work, my mother begins her day by comparing prices on apps and ordering everything with a few taps (点击). The grocery trips that once lifted her mood, improved her health, and helped her stay connected with the neighbourhood have disappeared. The joy of being known, of interacting, is dying.
And it’s not just her. Many of us now rely more on apps and less on people. Our growing reliance on instant delivery is reducing those everyday moments of interaction. There’s the financial cost too. When you’re too tired or too busy to plan your groceries, you end up ordering in pieces — adding things you don’t need just to hit the free-delivery minimum.
Of course, these apps are a gift on tough days when we’re sick or short on time. But next time you feel like opening a grocery app, try walking to your local shop instead. You might come back with more than just groceries — a smile, a quick chat, and a sense of connection. Sometimes, the cost of convenience isn’t what you pay. It’s what you miss.
4. What does the author think of early market runs?
A. Adventurous. B. Valuable. C. Tiring. D. Complex.
5. How did the author’s mother change her shopping habit later?
A. She turned to online shopping. B. She visited groceries with neighbours.
C. She cared about discounts in stores. D. She ordered whatever lifted her mood.
6. What concerns the author about instant delivery?
A. It takes away small social moments. B. It involves paying extra service fees.
C. It results in poor physical condition. D. It makes people addicted to shopping.
7. What is implied in the last paragraph?
A. A shared gift doubles its joy. B. Convenience comes at a cost.
C. A smile is free but worth a lot. D. Rush breaks human connection.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过作者童年在德里市场购物的经历,强调了日常购物中的小互动对个人成长和社区联系的重要性。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“These small market runs taught me more than I realised at the time — quick mental maths, conversations with strangers, and backup plans when a shop was shut. So much unintentional learning(这些去市场的小差事教会我的东西比我当时意识到的要多——快速的心算,与陌生人的交谈,以及商店关门时的备用计划。这么多无意的学习)”可知,作者认为早期的市场购物经历对他来说是非常宝贵的,因为它教会了他很多东西。故选B项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“While I still enjoy shopping in the market after work, my mother begins her day by comparing prices on apps and ordering everything with a few taps(虽然我仍然喜欢下班后在市场上购物,但我母亲的一天是从在应用程序上比较价格开始的,点击几下就可以订购所有东西。)”可知,作者的母亲后来转向了在线购物。故选A项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Our growing reliance on instant delivery is reducing those everyday moments of interaction. The joy of being known, of interacting, is dying.(我们对即时交付的日益依赖正在减少这些日常互动的时刻。被人认识和互动的乐趣正在消失。)”可知,作者担心即时配送会剥夺那些日常的小社交时刻。故选A项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Sometimes, the cost of convenience isn’t what you pay. It’s what you miss.(便利的成本有时不是金钱,而是你错过的东西)”可知,有时,便利的成本不是你支付的费用,而是你错过的东西。这暗示了便利是有代价的。故选B项。
C
Walk down a street decades ago, and chances were good that you’d come across a vision of the Spielbergian sort: groups of school-age children charging down the block on bikes, full of purpose and without protective headwear. You’re less likely to catch that kind of scene today.
With the decline in cycling, kids are losing more than a potential mode of transport. Biking supports children’s independence and overall health. And crucially, once kids are trained, it doesn’t require much effort from adults. Moreover, when enough children bike, whole neighborhoods can be transformed — safer and more friendly.
Now kids seldom get out. But they desire mobility while threatening traffic and parental concerns frequently stand in their way. This fear is well founded. Roadways have gotten faster and busier. The annual child cycling deaths have actually dropped, but it’s likely due to reduced ridership. The decrease seems reflective not of streets’ safety but rather of parents’ understanding of the heightened risks massive vehicles pose.
Families haven’t always had to be this vigilant. Children in previous decades may not have had marked bike lanes (车道) or other protective road features. But they had more space to wander, and fewer and slower cars to deal with. It wasn’t until public planning prioritized cars that children lost both play areas and the freedom to travel independently.
By adding more bike-friendly infrastructure (基础设施), local governments could encourage children to ride again. Meanwhile, teaching road rules falls largely to caregivers. Finding safe-enough spots for practice might be tough, yet with a little creativity, parents can track down dead ends or unused parking lots.
Putting in that work may demand more of parents in the short term. But the investment is worth it. Many parents want to raise confident and adaptable children, yet over-scheduled extracurriculars (课外活动) requiring constant monitoring rarely help. What many need is a bit more freedom: time to explore, to ride aimlessly — until they’re ready to take off.
8. Why does the author mention the Spielbergian scene?
A. To criticize kids’ poor safety awareness.
B. To highlight the potential dangers of cycling.
C. To stress the importance of safe neighborhoods.
D. To show the past popularity of cycling among kids.
9. What leads to the decline of annual child cycling deaths?
A. Improved street safety. B. Reduction in vehicle size.
C. Decreased cycling frequency. D. Strict application of traffic rules.
10. What does the underlined word “vigilant” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Tolerant. B. Watchful. C. Patient. D. Optimistic.
11. What are parents advised to do to get kids riding?
A. Explore secure spaces for practice. B. Invest in bike-friendly infrastructure.
C. Provide sufficient monitoring for kids. D. Stop arranging extracurricular activities.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章对比了过去与现在儿童骑行情况的差异,分析了如今儿童骑行减少的原因(交通风险、家长担忧等),并提出政府完善骑行基础设施、家长寻找安全练习场地等鼓励儿童重新骑行的建议。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Walk down a street decades ago, and chances were good that you’d come across a vision of the Spielbergian sort: groups of school-age children charging down the block on bikes, full of purpose and without protective headwear. You’re less likely to catch that kind of scene today.(几十年前走在街上,你很可能会看到一个斯皮尔伯格式的场景:一群学龄儿童骑着自行车沿着街区冲去,目标明确,而且没有佩戴防护头盔。如今,你不太可能看到这样的场景了)”可推知,作者提及该场景是为了通过过去常见的儿童骑行画面与现在的少见形成对比,体现过去儿童骑行的受欢迎程度。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The annual child cycling deaths have actually dropped, but it’s likely due to reduced ridership.(每年儿童骑行死亡人数实际上有所下降,但这很可能是因为骑行人数减少了)”可知,儿童骑行死亡人数下降的原因是骑行频率的降低,而非街道变安全等其他因素。故选C。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“Now kids seldom get out. But they desire mobility while threatening traffic and parental concerns frequently stand in their way. This fear is well founded. Roadways have gotten faster and busier.(现在孩子们很少出门。但他们渴望机动性,而具有威胁性的交通和父母的担忧经常阻碍他们。这种担忧是有根据的。道路上车速更快,交通也更繁忙了)”及第四段“Children in previous decades may not have had marked bike lanes (车道) or other protective road features. But they had more space to wander, and fewer and slower cars to deal with.(在过去的几十年里,孩子们可能没有明确的自行车道或其他保护性道路设施。但他们有更多的空间可以漫游,而且要对付的车辆更少,速度也更慢)”可知,现在家长因交通风险高而需要时刻担忧(即保持警惕)孩子骑行安全,与过去无需如此担忧形成对比,因此vigilant应表示“警惕的、留意的”。结合选项,Watchful(警惕的)符合语境。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Meanwhile, teaching road rules falls largely to caregivers. Finding safe-enough spots for practice might be tough, yet with a little creativity, parents can track down dead ends or unused parking lots.(与此同时,教授交通规则的任务主要落在了看护者身上。找到足够安全的练习场地可能很难,但只要稍加变通,家长们就能找到死胡同或废弃的停车场)”可推知,文章建议家长为孩子寻找安全的骑行练习空间。故选A。
D
Throughout history, trees have played a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance. They absorb CO2 and transform it into oxygen. But one of the challenges with this traditional carbon absorption is that the CO2 trees store can be released back into the atmosphere when they die.
However, the discovery of certain trees in Kenya adds a new dimension to this natural process. These trees, also found in several other countries, have been observed to transform CO2 into calcium oxalate. Then bacteria (细菌) present in the trees and surrounding soil transform it further into calcium carbonate (碳酸钙), a primary component of limestone and chalk. The unique process ensures that the CO2 is kept in solid form for much longer, even after the tree’s life ends. This finding was emphasized by Mike Rowley from the University of Zurich at the Goldschmidt Conference.
While the scientific community is optimistic about these findings, several challenges remain. The primary concern is determining the exact amount of CO2 that these trees can transform throughout their lifetime. Without this accurate data, it is challenging to assess the full impact of this method globally. Understanding the ecological balance and ensuring the preservation of biodiversity are crucial before worldwide planting of these trees. Cooperative research efforts are needed to explore these aspects and develop a comprehensive strategy for using these trees as a natural solution to climate change.
This discovery in Kenya invites us to reconsider the potential of natural processes in addressing environmental challenges. While technological solutions to climate change are vital, integrating natural methods offers an alternative approach. The unique ability of these trees presents a promising method for exploration.
The journey to fighting climate change is complex. As we dig deeper into understanding natural phenomena like the Kenyan trees, we must ask ourselves: How can we make the best of the power of nature to create a sustainable future for generations to come?
12. What is special about the trees found in Kenya?
A. They absorb more CO2. B. They help turn CO2 into solids.
C. They release oxygen quickly. D. They live in harmony with bacteria.
13. What is the core challenge before applying the discovery globally?
A. Assessing the cost of the process. B. Understanding the impact on soil.
C. Quantifying the CO2 transformation. D. Collecting the data on biodiversity.
14. What does the author try to explore in the last two paragraphs?
A. The seriousness of climate change. B. The method of green development.
C. The prospect of scientific approaches. D. The role of nature in climate solutions.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A defensive Strategy in Nature B. A Recent Advance in CO2 Research
C. Kenyan Trees: A Natural Carbon Lock D. Tree Planting: A Key to Ecological Balance
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍树木在维持生态平衡中的作用,重点阐述肯尼亚发现的特殊树木能将二氧化碳转化为碳酸钙以实现长期固碳的独特过程,同时提及当前研究面临的挑战,并指出该发现为利用自然方法应对气候变化提供了新思路。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“These trees, also found in several other countries, have been observed to transform CO2 into calcium oxalate. Then bacteria (细菌) present in the trees and surrounding soil transform it further into calcium carbonate (碳酸钙), a primary component of limestone and chalk. The unique process ensures that the CO2 is kept in solid form for much longer, even after the tree’s life ends.(这类树木在其他几个国家也有分布,研究观察到它们能将二氧化碳转化为草酸钙。随后,树木内部及周围土壤中的细菌会进一步将草酸钙转化为碳酸钙 —— 石灰岩和白垩的主要成分。这一独特过程确保二氧化碳以固态形式被长期封存,即便树木寿命终结也不会轻易释放)”可知,肯尼亚发现的树木特殊之处在于,它们能通过一系列过程将二氧化碳转化为草酸钙,进而转化为碳酸钙,使二氧化碳以固态形式长期封存。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The primary concern is determining the exact amount of CO2 that these trees can transform throughout their lifetime. Without this accurate data, it is challenging to assess the full impact of this method globally.(首要问题是确定这类树木在其生命周期内可转化的二氧化碳精确量。若缺乏这一准确数据,将难以评估该方法在全球范围内的整体影响)”可知,在全球应用这一发现前,核心挑战是确定这类树木在生命周期内转化二氧化碳的精确量,即对二氧化碳转化量进行量化。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“This discovery in Kenya invites us to reconsider the potential of natural processes in addressing environmental challenges.(肯尼亚的这一发现,促使我们重新思考自然过程在应对环境挑战中的潜力)”以及最后一段“As we dig deeper into understanding natural phenomena like the Kenyan trees, we must ask ourselves: How can we make the best of the power of nature to create a sustainable future for generations to come?(当我们深入研究肯尼亚树木这类自然现象时,必须反问自己:如何充分利用自然的力量,为子孙后代创造一个可持续发展的未来?)”可知,作者在最后两段中,通过肯尼亚树木的发现,重点探讨了自然过程在应对气候变化、解决环境问题中的潜力与作用,强调应结合自然方法应对气候挑战。故选D。
15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“However, the discovery of certain trees in Kenya adds a new dimension to this natural process. These trees, also found in several other countries, have been observed to transform CO2 into calcium oxalate.(然而,在肯尼亚发现的一类特殊树木,为这一自然过程增添了新维度。这类树木在其他几个国家也有分布,研究观察到它们能将二氧化碳转化为草酸钙)”以及全文内容可知,全文围绕肯尼亚发现的特殊树木能将二氧化碳转化为固态碳酸钙长期封存展开,先对比传统树木固碳的不足,再介绍该类树木的独特固碳过程、当前研究挑战,最后强调其对利用自然应对气候变化的意义,核心主题是肯尼亚树木的天然固碳作用。选项C“Kenyan Trees: A Natural Carbon Lock(肯尼亚树木:天然的碳锁)”准确概括了全文内容,可以作为最佳标题。故选C。

Professional organizer Breaks Down Her Unusual Job
In 2014, Kayleen Kelly took her professional organizing business full-time. She thought she was starting a business that would consist mostly of making messy homes into “beautiful homes” and taking before and after photos. ____16____
You often think primarily of the type of professional organizer who focuses directly on arranging a beautiful and pleasing space—even one that looks good on Instagram. However many people who seek out Kelly’s service are struggling with mental health issues, injuries, illness, or are experiencing the death of a loved one. ____17____ They might not have the mental energy for the projects.
In 2020, Kelly took her experience online in order to help people globally. Her content breaks down her tips and tricks for viewers looking to tidy up their lives. ____18____ Kelly does all the physical labor of collecting garbage, sorting other items accordingly, cutting out unwanted items and finally, containing what is left (the four steps of the Declutter Core Method) for her clients herself. ____19____ That is to make the decisions of what to cut and what to clear out.
While Kelly’s job is demanding what keeps her going is the emotional shift she sees in clients. “When I meet these people, they are saying, ‘Come rescue me, I’m dying,’” she says. “____20____ You can’t beat that. That’s what keeps me coming back.”
A. Kelly has a large following on social media.
B. I see the look on their face at the end of the session.
C. These include what she names “Declutter Core” method.
D. But she soon realized her job was more about the people.
E. There is a lot of shame and prejudice around having messes.
F. They are willing to tidy up but might not know where to start.
G. So they can save mental energy for the toughest part of the job.
【答案】16. D 17. F 18. C 19. G 20. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲的是专业整理师Kayleen Kelly与众不同的工作经历与感悟。
【16题详解】
前文提到“She thought she was starting a business that would consist mostly of making messy homes into “beautiful homes” and taking before and after photos.(2014 年,凯琳·凯利(Kayleen Kelly)将她的专业整理业务转为全职经营。她原以为自己开启的这项事业,主要就是将杂乱无章的家打造成“温馨美宅”,然后拍摄整理前后的对比照片。)”,说明她原本以为自己的工作主要是把杂乱的房子变成漂亮的房子并拍照。而后文又指出“However, many people who seek out Kelly’s service are struggling with mental health issues, injuries, illness, or are experiencing the death of a loved one.(然而,许多寻求凯利服务的人都正遭受着心理健康问题、伤痛、疾病的困扰,或是正经历着亲人离世的悲痛。)”,即很多寻求她服务的人有各种心理或生活上的问题。前后形成转折关系,所以这里用D选项“But she soon realized her job was more about the people.(但她很快意识到,她的工作更多的是与别人打交道。)”来转折,表明她很快意识到自己的工作更多的是关于帮助他人,符合语境。故选D。
【17题详解】
此空前面“However, many people who seek out Kelly’s service are struggling with mental health issues, injuries, illness, or are experiencing the death of a loved one.(然而,许多寻求凯利服务的人都正遭受着心理健康问题、伤痛、疾病的困扰,或是正经历着亲人离世的悲痛。)”描述了寻求服务的人有各种困难状况,后面“They might not have the mental energy for the projects.(他们可能没有精力去开展整理项目。)”说他们可能没有精力去做整理项目。那么中间应该是说他们有整理的意愿,只是不知道从哪里开始,F选项“They are willing to tidy up but might not know where to start.(他们愿意整理,但可能不知道从哪里开始。)”正好承接上文,说明他们有整理的想法但缺乏行动的切入点,为后文没有精力做铺垫,逻辑连贯。故选F。
【18题详解】
前文“Her content breaks down her tips and tricks for viewers looking to tidy up their lives.(她的内容为那些想要整理生活的人详细讲解了各种小窍门。)”说明她的内容为想要整理生活的人分享了技巧。后文详细介绍了“Declutter Core Method(整理核心方法)”的四个步骤。所以这里用C选项“These include what she names “Declutter Core” method.(其中包括她所称的“核心整理”方法。)”来引出后面关于这个方法的具体内容,起到承上启下的作用。故选C。
【19题详解】
前文“Kelly does all the physical labor of collecting garbage, sorting other items accordingly, cutting out unwanted items and finally, containing what is left (the four steps of the Declutter Core Method) for her clients herself.(Kelly会亲自为客户完成所有的体力劳动,包括收集垃圾、对其他物品进行分类、剔除不需要的物品,最后整理好剩下的东西(这就是“整理核心法”的四个步骤)。)”说明Kelly亲自为客户做所有的体力劳动,包括收集垃圾、分类物品等。那么空格处应该是说明她这样做的原因,G选项“So they can save mental energy for the toughest part of the job.(这样他们就可以为工作中最困难的部分节省精力。)”表示这样客户就可以节省精力去做工作中最困难的部分,即做决定该扔掉什么和清理什么,这也正是她这样做的原因,因此G选项符合逻辑。故选G。
【20题详解】
前文提到客户一开始说“Come rescue me, I’m dying(快来救我,我快死了)”,表达了他们当时非常糟糕的状态。后文说“You can’t beat that. That’s what keeps me coming back.(没有什么能比得上这种感觉。这就是让我不断坚持下去的原因。)”说明没有什么能比得上这个,这就是让她坚持回来的原因。那么中间应该是描述让她坚持的原因的具体内容,B选项“I see the look on their face at the end of the session.(在服务结束时,我看到他们脸上的表情。)”表示她在服务结束时看到客户脸上的表情,这种表情带来的积极影响让她坚持这份工作,符合语境。故选B。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了正念饮食的好处及实现方法。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意:我们生活在一个匆忙的社会,经常吃得很快,心不在焉,没有意识到我们吃了什么或吃了多少。根据“hurried”、“quickly and absent-mindedly”可知,此处表示 “没意识到”,用aware的反义词unaware“没有意识到的”,作状语。故填unaware。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意:适当的营养包括吃各种富含必需营养素的食物。be rich in为固定短语,表示“富含……”,空处需填介词in。故填in。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这意味着在吃饭时关掉屏幕,以防止无意识的进食。本句谓语为means,此处为非谓语动词,作目的状语,用动词prevent“防止”的不定式to prevent。故填to prevent。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意:通过专注于食物,我们可以更好地享受它的味道,使进食成为一种愉快的体验。空处修饰名词experience,需填形容词enjoyable“愉快的”,作定语。故填enjoyable。
【40题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:当我们吃得太快时,我们经常会大口吃,而且咀嚼不当。空处作take的宾语,用名词bite“咬,(咬下的)一口”,咬下的不止一口,用复数形式bites。故填bites。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:正念饮食鼓励慢慢进食,这给了身体分解食物的时间,并让大脑注意到我们何时吃饱,从而限制暴饮暴食。“______ gives the body time to break down food and allows the brain to notice when we are full”为非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词slower eating,指物,关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作主语,需用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:正念饮食鼓励慢慢进食,这给了身体分解食物的时间,并让大脑注意到我们何时吃饱,从而限制暴饮暴食。本句谓语为encourages,此处为非谓语动词,作结果状语,用limit“限制”的现在分词limiting。故填limiting。
【43题详解】
考查被动语态。句意:正念饮食可以通过几个步骤来实现。主语Mindful eating和动词achieve“实现”为被动关系,用be achieved表被动,与情态动词can构成含有情态动词的被动语态。故填be achieved。
【44题详解】
考查连词。句意:这些包括慢慢吃,倾听身体的饥饿和饱腹信号,并创造一个平静的进食环境。eating slowly,listening to the body’s hunger and fullness signals和creating a calm eating environment为并列关系,需用连词and连接。故填and。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意:总的来说,正念饮食是改善身体健康的有效工具。此处表示泛指“一种有效工具”,且effective发音以元音音素开头,用不定冠词an。故填an。

第二节(满分25分)
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。
Grandpa Miller and six-year-old Timmy were always busy at their shared workbench. Under Grandpa’s gentle guidance, Timmy carefully polished a small wooden dog that they had made together for a long time, proud to be learning “real work” from Grandpa.
Their joy also spread around the big dinner table. Timmy kept talking to Grandpa. “Will the dog stand firmly, Grandpa?” “Sure! I sanded it SUPER smooth!” Grandpa responded gently.
Across the table sat Timmy’s father, Ben. He bent over his laptop, his eyebrows frowned (皱)。The joy of the grandfather and grandson seemed to escape him. “Quarterly reports are due tomorrow,” he replied to his wife Sarah absent-mindedly, who had just reminded him of the delicious potatoes. He grabbed a bite, his eyes sliding back to the laptop, blind to the warmth around him. When he reached for the bowl, intending to take a quick sip (抿), his arm knocked it over. Some hot soup spilled (洒) onto the table.
“Be careful!” Sarah said softly. She grabbed a cloth and started to clean the spill quickly. Ben was wiping his laptop when some soup spilled on his trousers. “Oh, annoying! The harder I try to get this done quickly, the more things go wrong!” said he, getting angry. Astonished, little Timmy stopped talking at once. He stared at his father quietly, not knowing what to do.
Grandpa Miller watched what happened calmly and then spoke in his low voice - the same familiar tone that used to comfort Ben when he was small. “Easy there, son,” he said firmly, “The soup deserves your whole heart, so does the moment with all of us.”
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;

Hearing the words, Ben froze.

After the dinner, Ben sat in front of the laptop again.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Hearing the words, Ben froze. His fingers paused mid-air above the laptop keyboard, and the irritation on his face faded slowly. Memories flooded in—when he was Timmy’s age, Grandpa had said the same thing while teaching him to carve a wooden cart, reminding him to focus on the moment. Glancing up, he saw Timmy clutching the small wooden dog tightly, eyes wide with hesitation, and Sarah folding the soiled cloth quietly. “I’m sorry,” Ben said softly, closing the laptop. “I let work take over and missed this.” Timmy’s face lit up; he held out the wooden dog, and it stood steadily on the table. Grandpa smiled, pouring Ben a new bowl of soup.
After the dinner, Ben sat in front of the laptop again. But this time, his brows weren’t furrowed. The lingering warmth of the dinner calmed his restlessness. He typed steadily, and the quarterly report, which had felt like a burden, flowed smoothly. When he finished, he walked to the workbench. Timmy and Grandpa were polishing the wooden dog together. “Mind if I join?” Ben asked. Timmy handed him a piece of sandpaper, and Grandpa patted his arm. By the lamp’s glow, the three of them worked quietly, the gentle scraping of sandpaper the only sound in the peaceful room—this “real work” of togetherness was far more precious than any report.

In 2006, as a 10-year-old living in one of Delhi’s busiest markets, I would often run downstairs to buy milk, eggs or vegetables for my mother. The shopkeepers knew me by face and often guessed my order before I even spoke. These small market runs taught me more than I realised at the time — quick mental maths, conversations with strangers, and backup plans when a shop was shut. So much unintentional learning.
Over time, these routines became daily comfort. Whether it was me or my mother, we enjoyed the smiles, brief chats, and snacks along the way — small moments that quietly held our lives together.
Now, things are different. With Blinkit, Zepto, and Instamart, groceries arrive in 10 minutes. While I still enjoy shopping in the market after work, my mother begins her day by comparing prices on apps and ordering everything with a few taps (点击). The grocery trips that once lifted her mood, improved her health, and helped her stay connected with the neighbourhood have disappeared. The joy of being known, of interacting, is dying.
And it’s not just her. Many of us now rely more on apps and less on people. Our growing reliance on instant delivery is reducing those everyday moments of interaction. There’s the financial cost too. When you’re too tired or too busy to plan your groceries, you end up ordering in pieces — adding things you don’t need just to hit the free-delivery minimum.
Of course, these apps are a gift on tough days when we’re sick or short on time. But next time you feel like opening a grocery app, try walking to your local shop instead. You might come back with more than just groceries — a smile, a quick chat, and a sense of connection. Sometimes, the cost of convenience isn’t what you pay. It’s what you miss.
4. What does the author think of early market runs?
A. Adventurous. B. Valuable. C. Tiring. D. Complex.
5. How did the author’s mother change her shopping habit later?
A. She turned to online shopping. B. She visited groceries with neighbours.
C. She cared about discounts in stores. D. She ordered whatever lifted her mood.
6. What concerns the author about instant delivery?
A. It takes away small social moments. B. It involves paying extra service fees.
C. It results in poor physical condition. D. It makes people addicted to shopping.
7. What is implied in the last paragraph?
A. A shared gift doubles its joy. B. Convenience comes at a cost.
C. A smile is free but worth a lot. D. Rush breaks human connection.
C
Walk down a street decades ago, and chances were good that you’d come across a vision of the Spielbergian sort: groups of school-age children charging down the block on bikes, full of purpose and without protective headwear. You’re less likely to catch that kind of scene today.
With the decline in cycling, kids are losing more than a potential mode of transport. Biking supports children’s independence and overall health. And crucially, once kids are trained, it doesn’t require much effort from adults. Moreover, when enough children bike, whole neighborhoods can be transformed — safer and more friendly.
Now kids seldom get out. But they desire mobility while threatening traffic and parental concerns frequently stand in their way. This fear is well founded. Roadways have gotten faster and busier. The annual child cycling deaths have actually dropped but it’s likely due to reduced ridership. The decrease seems reflective not of streets’ safety but rather of parents’ understanding of the heightened risks massive vehicles pose.
Families haven’t always had to be this vigilant. Children in previous decades may not have had marked bike lanes (车道) or other protective road features. But they had more space to wander, and fewer and slower cars to deal with. It wasn’t until public planning prioritized cars that children lost both play areas and the freedom to travel independently.
By adding more bike-friendly infrastructure (基础设施), local governments could encourage children to ride again. Meanwhile, teaching road rules falls largely to caregivers. Finding safe-enough spots for practice might be tough, yet with a little creativity, parents can track down dead ends or unused parking lots.
Putting in that work may demand more of parents in the short term. But the investment is worth it. Many parents want to raise confident and adaptable children, yet over-scheduled extracurriculars (课外活动) requiring constant monitoring rarely help. What many need is a bit more freedom: time to explore, to ride aimlessly — until they’re ready to take off.

Throughout history, trees have played a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance. They absorb CO2 and transform it into oxygen. But one of the challenges with this traditional carbon absorption is that the CO2 trees store can be released back into the atmosphere when they die.
However, the discovery of certain trees in Kenya adds a new dimension to this natural process. These trees, also found in several other countries, have been observed to transform CO2 into calcium oxalate. Then bacteria (细菌) present in the trees and surrounding soil transform it further into calcium carbonate (碳酸钙), a primary component of limestone and chalk. The unique process ensures that the CO2 is kept in solid form for much longer, even after the tree’s life ends. This finding was emphasized by Mike Rowley from the University of Zurich at the Goldschmidt Conference.
While the scientific community is optimistic about these findings, several challenges remain. The primary concern is determining the exact amount of CO2 that these trees can transform throughout their lifetime. Without this accurate data, it is challenging to assess the full impact of this method globally. Understanding the ecological balance and ensuring the preservation of biodiversity are crucial before worldwide planting of these trees. Cooperative research efforts are needed to explore these aspects and develop a comprehensive strategy for using these trees as a natural solution to climate change.
This discovery in Kenya invites us to reconsider the potential of natural processes in addressing environmental challenges. While technological solutions to climate change are vital, integrating natural methods offers an alternative approach. The unique ability of these trees presents a promising method for exploration.
The journey to fighting climate change is complex. As we dig deeper into understanding natural phenomena like the Kenyan trees, we must ask ourselves: How can we make the best of the power of nature to create a sustainable future for generations to come?
12. What is special about the trees found in Kenya?
A. They absorb more CO2. B. They help turn CO2 into solids.
C They release oxygen quickly. D. They live in harmony with bacteria.
13. What is the core challenge before applying the discovery globally?
A. Assessing the cost of the process. B. Understanding the impact on soil.
C. Quantifying the CO2 transformation. D. Collecting the data on biodiversity.
14. What does the author try to explore in the last two paragraphs?
A. The seriousness of climate change. B. The method of green development.
C. The prospect of scientific approaches. D. The role of nature in climate solutions.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A defensive Strategy in Nature B. A Recent Advance in CO2 Research
C Kenyan Trees: A Natural Carbon Lock D. Tree Planting: A Key to Ecological Balance

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。
Grandpa Miller and six-year-old Timmy were always busy at their shared workbench. Under Grandpa’s gentle guidance, Timmy carefully polished a small wooden dog that they had made together for a long time, proud to be learning “real work” from Grandpa.
Their joy also spread around the big dinner table. Timmy kept talking to Grandpa. “Will the dog stand firmly, Grandpa?” “Sure! I sanded it SUPER smooth!” Grandpa responded gently.
Across the table sat Timmy’s father, Ben. He bent over his laptop, his eyebrows frowned (皱)。The joy of the grandfather and grandson seemed to escape him. “Quarterly reports are due tomorrow,” he replied to his wife Sarah absent-mindedly, who had just reminded him of the delicious potatoes. He grabbed a bite, his eyes sliding back to the laptop, blind to the warmth around him. When he reached for the bowl, intending to take a quick sip (抿), his arm knocked it over. Some hot soup spilled (洒) onto the table.
“Be careful!” Sarah said softly. She grabbed a cloth and started to clean the spill quickly. Ben was wiping his laptop when some soup spilled on his trousers. “Oh, annoying! The harder I try to get this done quickly, the more things go wrong!” said he, getting angry. Astonished, little Timmy stopped talking at once. He stared at his father quietly, not knowing what to do.
Grandpa Miller watched what happened calmly and then spoke in his low voice - the same familiar tone that used to comfort Ben when he was small. “Easy there, son,” he said firmly, “The soup deserves your whole heart, so does the moment with all of us.”
