Reporters rushed to find Rehan Sujeewa Staton a handful of years ago when news broke that a sanitation(公共卫生) worker had been accepted to Harvard Law School. Their various versions of a self-made American success story went viral.
Now, as Staton prepares to graduate, he wants to make one thing crystal clear: It wasn’t just him, but the people around him that made it all possible in very direct and sometimes surprising ways. “I worked for a trash company. where my co-workers told me that I should go to college instead. I had a boss who let me leave work and go to school. I had a cousin who helped me study for the Law School Admission Test. My brother dropped out of college to help with the family finances. My dad sacrificed a lot for me. I could keep going down this list. I got lucky, but I made the most of my luck,” he said.
From early on Staton understood the instability of life. He and his brother were raised by their dad. The family of three struggled to make ends meet. After high school, Staton got a job at a trash and recycling company. It motivated him to find his way to the University of Maryland while continuing to work. Staton cleaned garbage containers and collected trash from 4 a.m. until 7 a.m., and after that, he would go to classes. The desire for a better life for him and his family was the main reason why Staton applied to law school.
At Harvard Law School, Staton found a community of professors, classmates, administrators and staff who helped him to get through. To show his gratitude to the service staff, he raised money to give 100 gift certificates to each service worker of Harvard Law School and founded “The Reciprocity(互助) Effect” to honor other such workers at universities and corporate institutions.
“I didn’t want to change after going to Law School,” he said. “The allure(诱惑) is huge. I went to work in fancy places. I made cool connections and friendships. But I don’t want to forget who I am.”
4. What made Staton the focus of reporters’ attention?
A. His donation to service workers. B. His admission to Harvard.
C. His popularity on social media. D. His job as a cleaner.
5. What does Staton consider crucial to his success?
A. Assistance from others. B. Academic environments.
C. Access to educational opportunities. D. A bit of luck.
6. Why did Staton refuse to change after attending Law School?
A. He valued his personal connections over success.
B. He was quite content with his present life.
C. He wanted to stay true to his roots and values.
D. He was not ready to let go of his past experiences.
7. What can we learn from the story?
A. The early bird catches the worm.
B. Two heads are better than one.
C. A grateful heart is a beginning of greatness.
D. A rising tide lifts all boats.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. C

【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,Staton克服了各种困难,最终成为哈佛法学院的学生,取得了成功。然而,他并没有把成功归功于自己,而是感激身边人的帮助。他感谢曾在垃圾处理公司工作的同事,感谢老板鼓励他上学,感谢表兄帮助他备考,感谢为家庭牺牲的兄弟,感谢为他辛苦付出的父亲。此外,他还筹集资金感谢哈佛法学院的工作人员,并创立了“互惠效应”组织,以表彰其他类似的工作人员。这些举动充分展现了他的感恩之心,他的成功也在于此。故选C。
C
Our earliest ancestors trapped or hunted what meat they ate. When we learned to domesticate (驯化) animals, we raised them on our land, or we wandered the land with our herds. No matter which tribe we belonged to, our animals were our property. We ate their flesh in small portions, and we ate almost every bit of them, especially the poorest among us.
The Industrial Revolution changed meat. In the 19th century, refrigeration enabled meat to be trucked in from far away, or shipped from even further away, which eventually led to the destroying of forests in places like Brazil. Production then became more efficient. By the late 1940s, antibiotics (抗生素) became routine in chicken feed. By the late 1990s, genetically modified (转基因的) corn and soy brought abundant crops of animal feed. Animals were bred to be bigger and faster-growing. In the U.S., government subsidies (补贴) helped: free groundwater, federally backed loans, price guarantees for feed crops. And meat went big.
Today the $1 trillion global meat industry is dominated by a handful of companies, including JBS, Cargill, and Tyson. Since 1961, meat production has increased four times, dwarfing the growth in the human population, which merely doubled.
Meat went from being special to being an everyday right. The more we developed, the more flesh we ate. China’s meat consumption jumped sharply, from about 6.6 pounds per person in 1961 to more than 140 pounds in 2024. But the United States became the lions of Planet Carnivore (食肉动物). On average, Americans went from eating around 207 pounds of meat in 1961 to 280 pounds in 2024, and chicken came to dominate.
It wasn’t just chicken consumption that changed. Follow a chicken truck to the butchery — continued forest destruction, an alarming rise in antibiotic-resistant bacteria, ever-increasing greenhouse gas emissions — and you realize what a dark shadow we have cast over where we live.
8. How did the Industrial Revolution affect meat?
A. It caused a sharp fall in the price of meat.
B. It decreased the nutritional value of meat.
C. It revolutionized meat production and distribution.
D. It restricted the use of antibiotics in meat.
9. What does the underlined word “dwarfing” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Negatively impacting something. B. Greatly expanding something.
C. Matching something in number. D. Making something seem small.
10. How does the author show the rapid increase in meat consumption?
A. By introducing a concept. B. By giving explanations.
C. By making a comparison. D. By making a prediction.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Antibiotics Have Transformed Chicken Feed
B. Our Taste for Flesh Has Exhausted the Earth
C. Global Companies Dominate Meat Industry
D. Meat Production Results in Forest Destruction
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章介绍了肉类生产从早期到现在的变化,阐述了工业化对肉类生产的影响、肉类消费的增长情况以及由此带来的环境问题。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The Industrial Revolution changed meat. In the 19th century, refrigeration enabled meat to be trucked in from far away, or shipped from even further away, which eventually led to the destroying of forests in places like Brazil.Production then became more efficient. By the late 1940s, antibiotics (抗生素) became routine in chicken feed. By the late 1990s,genetically modified (转基因的) corn and soy brought abundant crops of animal feed. Animals were bred to be bigger and faster-growing.(工业革命改变了肉类。19世纪,制冷技术使肉类可以从遥远的地方用卡车运来,甚至从更远的地方运来,这最终导致了巴西等地森林的破坏。随后生产变得更有效率。到20世纪40年代末,抗生素在鸡饲料中成为常规添加物。到20世纪90年代末,转基因玉米和大豆带来了丰富的动物饲料作物。动物被培育得更大、生长更快)”可知,工业革命在肉类的生产(如培育动物、饲料变化等)和运输(制冷技术使远距离运输成为可能)方面带来了巨大变革。故选C项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“Since 1961,meat production has increased four times, dwarfing the growth in the human population, which merely doubled.(自1961年以来,肉类产量增长了四倍,dwarfing人口的增长,而人口仅增长了一倍)”可知,肉类产量增长四倍,而人口只增长一倍,对比之下,人口增长就显得很少了。所以dwarfing意思是“使某物显得小”。故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。 根据第四段中“China’s meat consumption jumped sharply, from about 6.6 pounds per person in 1961 to more than 140 pounds in 2024. But the United States became the lions of Planet Carnivore (食肉动物). On average, Americans went from eating around 207 pounds of meat in 1961 to 280 pounds in 2024,and chicken came to dominate.(中国的肉类消费量急剧上升,从1961年人均约6.6磅增加到2024年的超过140磅。但美国成了地球上的食肉“霸主”。平均而言,美国人从1961年每人约吃207磅肉增加到2024年的280磅,鸡肉占据了主导地位)”可知,作者通过对比不同年份中国和美国的人均肉类消费量,来体现肉类消费的快速增长。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。 通读全文,结合最后一段中“Follow a chicken truck to the butchery — forest destruction, an alarming rise in antibiotic-resistant bacteria, ever-increasing greenhouse gas emissions — and you realize what a dark shadow we have cast over where we live.(跟着一辆运鸡的卡车到屠宰场——持续的森林破坏、抗生素细菌的惊人增加、不断增加的温室气体排放——你就会意识到我们给我们生活的地方投下了多么黑暗的阴影)”可知,文章主要讲述了人类对肉类的大量需求和消费导致了一系列环境问题,地球不堪重负。B选项“Our Taste for Flesh Has Exhausted the Earth(我们对肉类的喜好让地球不堪重负)”能概括文章主旨,适合做标题。故选B项。
D
In cultures worldwide, toys have been used to teach children about the society they live in.
Recent research reveals that giving the wrong toys may have contributed to the downfall of the Norse settlers who came to Greenland from Iceland.
Arriving in 985, the Norse thrived for a few centuries but was forced to abandon Greenland by 1400.In contrast, the Inuit people, arriving around 1000, endured long after the Norse left. This difference has puzzled archaeologists for decades. One idea was that the Norse did not eat more seafood when farming conditions worsened. But studies of Norse teeth show that they did turn to the ocean for food. Archaeologists agree that the Inuits adapted successfully while the Norse did not, but nobody knows why.
To try to answer the question, the researchers looked at as many toys as they could find that had once been played with by the children of either culture. The Norse settlements yielded 72. The Inuit settlements, located in similar environmental conditions, yielded 2,397. The researchers then assigned each toy to one of five categories, including toys of weapons, tools, forms of transport, for social play and for skill play. They also determined approximate times for when the toys were made.
The categorization process revealed that the Inuit children not only had more toys available to them, but that these toys were more diverse. Most importantly, it was found that the differences in the number and diversity of toys grew dramatically over time.
As the years went by, toys associated with hunting at sea became more common among the Inuit, but the Norse continued to give their children figurines of horses and birds. In essence, say the researchers, the Norse were adapting their lives to their new environment but continuing to gift old-fashioned toys.
Though the lack of toys may indicate that Norse society was less creative from the start, the researchers argue that their tendency to give irrelevant toys intensified any initial lack of creativity and ultimately reduced their chances of survival. In contrast, the Inuits’ preference for diverse and relevant toys paved the way for their children to be more innovative and adaptive. A lesson for parents if ever there was one.
12. What did the toy study aim to further investigate?
A. The Norse’s dietary change. B. The Norse’s failure to endure.
C. The Inuits’ fishing advantage. D. The Inuits’ success in farming.
13. What was a major advantage that Inuit toys had over Norse toys?
A. Safety. B. Diversity. C. Interactivity. D. Portability.
14. What lesson can modern parents draw from the study?
A. Offer a wide range of learning opportunities. B. Emphasize toys that promote imagination.
C. Choose toys that develop real-world skills. D. Encourage cooperative role-playing games.
15. Which of the following best reflects the main idea of the text?
A. Survival is a case of child’s play. B. Sticking to cultural essence is vital.
C. Innovation comes naturally over time. D. Cultural adaptation relies on children.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章通过对比格陵兰岛挪威定居者与因纽特人定居者的玩具差异,揭示玩具在种族生存中的关键作用。挪威人因固守传统玩具而失败,因纽特人则通过实用玩具培养生存技能,最终成功适应环境,为现代父母提供启示。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“But studies of Norse teeth show that they did turn to the ocean for food. Archaeologists agree that the Inuits adapted successfully while the Norse did not, but nobody knows why.(考古学家一致认为,因纽特人成功地适应了,而挪威人没有,但没有人知道为什么)”和第四段“To try to answer the question, the researchers looked at as many toys as they could find that had once been played with by the children of either culture.(为了回答这个问题,研究人员尽可能多地研究了这两种文化的孩子曾经玩过的玩具)”可知,这个对玩具的研究旨在进一步调查挪威人未能适应环境而持续存在的原因。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“The categorization process revealed that the Inuit children not only had more toys available to them, but that these toys were more diverse. Most importantly, it was found that the differences in the number and diversity of toys grew dramatically over time.(分类过程表明,因纽特儿童不仅有更多的玩具可供选择,而且这些玩具也更多样化。最重要的是,人们发现玩具数量和多样性的差异随着时间的推移而急剧增加)”和第六段中“As the years went by, toys associated with hunting at sea became more common among the Inuit, but the Norse continued to give their children figurines of horses and birds.(随着时间的流逝,与海上狩猎有关的玩具在因纽特人中变得越来越普遍,但挪威人继续给他们的孩子们马和鸟的雕像玩具)”可知,因纽特玩具相对于北欧玩具的主要优势是具有多样性。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Though the lack of toys may indicate that Norse society was less creative from the start, the researchers argue that their tendency to give irrelevant toys intensified any initial lack of creativity and ultimately reduced their chances of survival. In contrast, the Inuits’ preference for diverse and relevant toys paved the way for their children to be more innovative and adaptive. A lesson for parents if ever there was one.(尽管缺乏玩具可能表明挪威社会从一开始就缺乏创造力,但研究人员认为,他们倾向于给无关的玩具,这加剧了最初缺乏创造力的情况,最终降低了他们的生存机会。相比之下,因纽特人对多样化和相关玩具的偏好为他们的孩子更具创新性和适应性铺平了道路。这是给父母们上的一课)”可知,因纽特玩具的实用性帮助儿童适应环境,挪威玩具因脱离实际,因循守旧导致失败,现代父母能从这项研究中学到的是给孩子选择能培养现实技能的玩具。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Though the lack of toys may indicate that Norse society was less creative from the start, the researchers argue that their tendency to give irrelevant toys intensified any initial lack of creativity and ultimately reduced their chances of survival.

How to Use Your Inner Voice
We all have an inner voice, and while it can be supportive, it can also become overly critical. The good news: ___16___ Here are three science-backed strategies to refine (改善) your inner dialogue, inspired by the groundbreaking work of psychologist Ethan Kross.
Distancing Ourselves from Negative Thoughts
____17____ Kross’s research on self-distancing offers a powerful solution. By referring to yourself in the third person or using your own name, you create psychological distance which reduces emotional reactivity. For instance, instead of thinking, “I’m failing”, try telling yourself, “[Add Your Name], you’re learning through this challenge.” This simple shift can help you approach problems with clarity and objectivity.
Inner Coach vs. Inner Critic
____18____ It helps us plan, solve problems, and motivate ourselves. But it can also make us more anxious and hurt our relationships. Kross recommends that we should make the most of its good points while keeping its bad ones in check. When you’re faced with self-criticism, try shifting to your inner coach for guidance. These slight changes in how we talk to ourselves can lower our stress and help us solve problems better.
____19____
Building a constructive inner voice requires practice. Just before bed, journal about a moment where positive self-talk helped you. Reflect on how it shaped your response and what you can carry into tomorrow. Over time, this habit can help reinforce a growth mindset and prepare you to tackle challenges with more confidence.
Conclusion
By practicing self-distancing, reframing criticism, and reflecting on positive moments, you can turn your inner voice into a source of strength and clarity. ____20____
A. Our inner voice cuts both ways.
B. Talking to yourself during tough times.
C. Growing through Positive Self-Dialogue
D. Feeling overwhelmed by your inner critic?
E. Self-talk can be transformed into a tool for growth and success.
F. We can learn to identify negative thought patterns and avoid them.
G. Start today — because your inner voice shapes how you show up in the world.
【答案】16. E 17. D 18. A 19. C 20. G
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了如何利用内在声音来进行自我调节。

前文“By practicing self-distancing, reframing criticism, and reflecting on positive moments, you can turn your inner voice into a source of strength and clarity. (通过练习自我疏离、重构批评和反思积极时刻,你可以将内在声音转化为力量和清晰的源泉。)”总结全文策略与成效。G选项“从今天开始吧——因为你的内在声音能塑造你在世界上的表现。”作为结尾,提出行动号召并强化主题,呼应了全文主旨。故选G。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国神话人物女娲的身世、补天的传说以及她在文化中的重要地位。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:女娲的母亲是华胥氏,她在宇宙中漫步时突然怀孕,踩到了雷神留下的脚印。“____ became suddenly pregnant when she was...”是非限定性定语从句,先行词是Huaxu,指人,关系词将其代入从句中作主语,应用关系代词who引导该从句。故填who。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:女娲的母亲是华胥氏,她在宇宙中漫步时突然怀孕,踩到了雷神留下的脚印。“____ (leave) by the god of thunder, Leigong”作后置定语,leave(留下)用非谓语形式,与其逻辑主语footprint之间是被动关系,用过去分词表被动。故填left。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意:然后她生下了伏羲,他被视为狩猎、烹饪和中国文字系统的发明者。提示词作介词as的宾语,表示“发明者”,用名词inventor。故填inventor。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意:女娲补天的故事有一个版本说,她完成后,太累了,以至于躺下休息,最终累死了。提示词作表语,描写主语she的状态,用-ed形容词tired,意为“疲惫的”。故填tired。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:另一个版本说,在工作时,她发现没有足够的石头来修复天空,所以她牺牲了自己,用自己的身体来填补最后的空缺。在when, while, if, as if, though(或although), as, until, once, whether, unless, where等连词连接的状语从句中,常省略跟主句相同的主语和be动词。“while ____ (work)”是时间状语从句,原句为“while she was working”,符合状语从句省略条件,省略she was后,应保留现在分词working。故填working。
【41题详解】
考查反身代词。句意:另一个版本说,在工作时,她发现没有足够的石头来修复天空,所以她牺牲了自己,用自己的身体来填补最后的空缺。主语she和宾语是同一人,宾语应用反身代词herself,意为“她自己”。故填herself。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意:不管怎样,地球恢复了秩序,人类又能够和平地生活了。提示词修饰动词live,应用副词peacefully作状语,意为“和平地”。故填peacefully。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意:女娲是流行文化中的一个重要人物。可数名词figure(人物)是单数形式,泛指“一个重要人物”,应用不定冠词修饰,且important发音以元音音素开头,应用不定冠词an。故填an。
【44题详解】
考查被动语态。句意:尽管在中国各地都可以找到许多供奉女娲和她的哥哥伏羲的寺庙,但她最重要的寺庙位于河北省,被视为全人类的祖庙。find(找到)是从句谓语动词,与主语many temples之间是被动关系,情态动词can后接动词原形。故填be found。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意:每年农历三月初一到十八,来自山西、河北、山东和河南的人们都会来到涉县朝拜女娲。from...to...是固定短语,意为“从……到……”。故填to。

Dear Chris,
It’s great to hear from you. The two-day weekend policy has brought a positive shift to my life. I usually spend Saturday finishing homework and reviewing lessons, which allows me to enjoy Sunday for personal activities.
The most meaningful change for me is participating in a volunteer program at a community library. I help organize books and assist children with reading. This experience has not only enriched my social awareness but also improved my communication skills. It brings me a sense of purpose that textbooks cannot offer.
This balanced lifestyle keeps me motivated and ready for a new week.
Yours,
Li Hua

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。
My sister Sumi is a single mother, and her daughter Anna has always been called “Number 23.” Every time the school released exam results, Anna would end up in 23rd place among the 50 pupils. Always 23, regardless of topic or term. The nickname always filled Sumi with concern.
Sumi now runs a service firm that plans small events—outdoor trips for staff and their families, or weekend parties. The discussion nearly always turns to their children, since most of her clients are parents. You know how it goes—one parent discusses their child’s piano honors, another boasts about Math Olympiads or leadership responsibilities. Sumi would simply sit there, softly nodding, feeling uncomfortable. While others were honoring these “great youngsters,” all she could think about was Anna and her Number 23.
At a family get-together, as lunch concluded, someone playfully asked the youngsters what they wanted to be when they grew up. Bold, ambitious answers filled the room: “I want to be a pianist!” “I want to be a famous actor!” “I want to be a politician!” “I’ll start a business and make tons of money!” Adults applauded each declaration, celebrating these impressive dreams.
Anna, however, didn’t answer. She was quietly helping-bringing cups of soup, handing out cookies—content in her own little world. The relative then prompted. “Anna, what do you want to be?” Anna paused, then smiled. “Uncle, I want to be a Montessori teacher. I love tiny kids, dancing, singing, and playing.” The lively room fell silent.
Sumi’s heart sank with embarrassment, fearing the quiet meant adults found Anna’s dream small or unimpressive. Yet, Anna remained calm, her gentle smile unwavering(坚定的), as if she knew a profound truth about her path’s value and joy, a truth the adults, caught in worldly expectations, hadn’t grasped.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
An elderly aunt broke into warm applause.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
For the first time. Sumi saw “Number 23” not as a shortcoming.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文
An elderly aunt broke into warm applause. “What a beautiful dream, Anna,” she said, her voice full of sincerity. “The world needs more teachers who lead with love, not just ambition.” One by one, the other parents joined in, their claps genuine this time, and Anna smiled politely to all. Then Sumi looked at her daughter, who was still smiling peacefully, and felt a shift within herself. She realized that her embarrassment was not about Anna’s dream, but about her own fears of how others perceived success.
For the first time, Sumi saw “Number 23” not as a shortcoming. It was a beautiful trait, which represented Anna’s steady rhythm — the quiet perseverance that allowed her to care for others without seeking glory. Her daughter’s consistency wasn’t a lack of ambition; it was a different kind of strength. In that clarity, Sumi felt a surge of pride, realizing that true meaning lies not in standing out, but in touching lives through kindness and dedication. Sometimes we forget that true achievement lies in being kind, happy, and true to yourself. Maybe being “Number 23” isn’t that horrible after all.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索,讲述了苏米的女儿安娜总是在考试中排名第 23,被称为 “23 号”,这让苏米很担忧。在家庭聚会上,其他孩子都大胆说出宏伟梦想,而安娜表示想成为蒙台梭利教师,这一梦想起初让房间陷入沉默,苏米为此感到尴尬。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句 “一位年长的阿姨突然热烈鼓掌” 可知,第一段可描写阿姨称赞安娜的梦想,说世界需要有爱的老师而非仅有野心之人,其他家长也纷纷真诚鼓掌,安娜礼貌回应。苏米看着女儿,内心发生转变,意识到自己的尴尬源于自身对他人看法的担忧。
②由第二段首句 “苏米第一次不把‘23 号’视为缺点” 可知,第二段可描写苏米看到 “23 号” 代表着安娜稳定的节奏,是一种默默坚持照顾他人而不图荣耀的特质。这种坚持并非缺乏野心,而是别样的力量。苏米涌起自豪感,意识到真正的意义在于通过善良和奉献触动他人生活,“23 号” 也并非那么糟糕。
2.续写线索:阿姨肯定梦想(阿姨鼓掌称赞,其他家长跟随,安娜回应,苏米内心转变)—— 重新认识 “23 号”(苏米看到 “23 号” 代表的特质,涌起自豪感,领悟真正意义,改变对 “23 号” 看法)

Michigan, nicknamed “Pure Michigan,” offers year-round outdoor recreation. Its national parks, blessed with forests, lakes, and beaches, provide activities from kayaking (皮划艇) in July to cross-country skiing in January.
Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore
On Lake Superior, Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore features colorful sandstone cliffs like Chapel Rock and Miners Castle. Year-round activities include camping, hiking, snowshoeing, ice climbing, and cross-country skiing. Visitors can explore the 19th-century-AuSable Light Station and take glass-bottom boat tours to see shipwreck remains in warmer months.
Iste Royale National Park
Isle Royale National Park, a remote Lake Superior island with a short season from April 15 to November 1, is among the nation’s least-visited parks. Accessible only by ferry, seaplane, or private boat, cars are not allowed. Accommodations range from Rock Harbor Lodge to rustic Windigo Camper Cabins, with backpack camping also available. It’s a haven for kayakers and canoers, and moose (驼鹿) sightings are frequent.
Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore
Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore boasts the world’s largest freshwater sand dunes (沙丘), which feature 450-foot bluffs, along 35 miles of Lake Michigan shoreline. It also includes North and South Manitou Islands. Camping is available year-round. Popular activities include hiking the bluffs, visiting an 1871 lighthouse on South Manitou Island, and exploring the Port Oneida historic farm district. Winter brings ice fishing, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and sledding on the dunes.
River Raisiu National Battlefield Park
River Raisin National Battlefield Park commemorates the War of 1812’s January 1813 battles, where Tecumseh’s American Indian confederation (联盟) declared victory. Located 35 miles south of Detroit, the park features cannons and monuments telling the battle’s story. It combines education with outdoor recreation like hiking and biking.

Reporters rushed to find Rehan Sujeewa Staton a handful of years ago when news broke that a sanitation(公共卫生) worker had been accepted to Harvard Law School. Their various versions of a self-made American success story went viral.
Now, as Staton prepares to graduate, he wants to make one thing crystal clear: It wasn’t just him, but the people around him that made it all possible in very direct and sometimes surprising ways. “I worked for a trash company. where my co-workers told me that I should go to college instead. I had a boss who let me leave work and go to school. I had a cousin who helped me study for the Law School Admission Test. My brother dropped out of college to help with the family finances. My dad sacrificed a lot for me. I could keep going down this list. I got lucky, but I made the most of my luck,” he said.
From early on Staton understood the instability of life. He and his brother were raised by their dad. The family of three struggled to make ends meet. After high school, Staton got a job at a trash and recycling company. It motivated him to find his way to the University of Maryland while continuing to work. Staton cleaned garbage containers and collected trash from 4 a.m. until 7 a.m., and after that, he would go to classes. The desire for a better life for him and his family was the main reason why Staton applied to law school.
At Harvard Law School, Staton found a community of professors, classmates, administrators and staff who helped him to get through. To show his gratitude to the service staff, he raised money to give 100 gift certificates to each service worker of Harvard Law School and founded “The Reciprocity(互助) Effect” to honor other such workers at universities and corporate institutions.
“I didn’t want to change after going to Law School,” he said. “The allure(诱惑) is huge. I went to work in fancy places. I made cool connections and friendships. But I don’t want to forget who I am.”
4. What made Staton the focus of reporters’ attention?
A. His donation to service workers. B. His admission to Harvard.

B. He was quite content with his present life.
C. He wanted to stay true to his roots and values.
D. He was not ready to let go of his past experiences.
7. What can we learn from the story?

Our earliest ancestors trapped or hunted what meat they ate. When we learned to domesticate (驯化) animals, we raised them on our land, or we wandered the land with our herds. No matter which tribe we belonged to, our animals were our property. We ate their flesh in small portions, and we ate almost every bit of them, especially the poorest among us.
The Industrial Revolution changed meat. In the 19th century, refrigeration enabled meat to be trucked in from far away, or shipped from even further away, which eventually led to the destroying of forests in places like Brazil. Production then became more efficient. By the late 1940s, antibiotics (抗生素) became routine in chicken feed. By the late 1990s, genetically modified (转基因的) corn and soy brought abundant crops of animal feed. Animals were bred to be bigger and faster-growing. In the U.S., government subsidies (补贴) helped: free groundwater, federally backed loans, price guarantees for feed crops. And meat went big.
Today the $1 trillion global meat industry is dominated by a handful of companies, including JBS, Cargill, and Tyson. Since 1961, meat production has increased four times, dwarfing the growth in the human population, which merely doubled.
Meat went from being special to being an everyday right. The more we developed, the more flesh we ate. China’s meat consumption jumped sharply, from about 6.6 pounds per person in 1961 to more than 140 pounds in 2024. But the United States became the lions of Planet Carnivore (食肉动物). On average, Americans went from eating around 207 pounds of meat in 1961 to 280 pounds in 2024, and chicken came to dominate.
It wasn’t just chicken consumption that changed. Follow a chicken truck to the butchery — continued forest destruction, an alarming rise in antibiotic-resistant bacteria, ever-increasing greenhouse gas emissions — and you realize what a dark shadow we have cast over where we live.
8. How did the Industrial Revolution affect meat?
A. It caused a sharp fall in the price of meat.
B. It decreased the nutritional value of meat.
C. It revolutionized meat production and distribution.
D. It restricted the use of antibiotics in meat.
9. What does the underlined word “dwarfing” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Negatively impacting something. B. Greatly expanding something.
C. Matching something in number. D. Making something seem small.
10. How does the author show the rapid increase in meat consumption?
A. By introducing a concept. B. By giving explanations.
C. By making a comparison. D. By making a prediction.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Antibiotics Have Transformed Chicken Feed
B. Our Taste for Flesh Has Exhausted the Earth
C. Global Companies Dominate Meat Industry
D. Meat Production Results in Forest Destruction
D
In cultures worldwide, toys have been used to teach children about the society they live in.
Recent research reveals that giving the wrong toys may have contributed to the downfall of the Norse settlers who came to Greenland from Iceland.
Arriving in 985, the Norse thrived for a few centuries but was forced to abandon Greenland by 1400.In contrast, the Inuit people, arriving around 1000, endured long after the Norse left. This difference has puzzled archaeologists for decades. One idea was that the Norse did not eat more seafood when farming conditions worsened. But studies of Norse teeth show that they did turn to the ocean for food. Archaeologists agree that the Inuits adapted successfully while the Norse did not, but nobody knows why.
To try to answer the question, the researchers looked at as many toys as they could find that had once been played with by the children of either culture. The Norse settlements yielded 72. The Inuit settlements, located in similar environmental conditions, yielded 2,397. The researchers then assigned each toy to one of five categories, including toys of weapons, tools, forms of transport, for social play and for skill play. They also determined approximate times for when the toys were made.
The categorization process revealed that the Inuit children not only had more toys available to them, but that these toys were more diverse. Most importantly, it was found that the differences in the number and diversity of toys grew dramatically over time.
As the years went by, toys associated with hunting at sea became more common among the Inuit, but the Norse continued to give their children figurines of horses and birds. In essence, say the researchers, the Norse were adapting their lives to their new environment but continuing to gift old-fashioned toys.
Though the lack of toys may indicate that Norse society was less creative from the start, the researchers argue that their tendency to give irrelevant toys intensified any initial lack of creativity and ultimately reduced their chances of survival. In contrast, the Inuits’ preference for diverse and relevant toys paved the way for their children to be more innovative and adaptive. A lesson for parents if ever there was one.
12. What did the toy study aim to further investigate?
A. The Norse’s dietary change. B. The Norse’s failure to endure.
C. The Inuits’ fishing advantage. D. The Inuits’ success in farming.
13. What was a major advantage that Inuit toys had over Norse toys?
A. Safety. B. Diversity. C. Interactivity. D. Portability.
14. What lesson can modern parents draw from the study?
A. Offer a wide range of learning opportunities. B. Emphasize toys that promote imagination.
C. Choose toys that develop real-world skills. D. Encourage cooperative role-playing games.
15. Which of the following best reflects the main idea of the text?
A. Survival is a case of child’s play. B. Sticking to cultural essence is vital.
C. Innovation comes naturally over time. D. Cultural adaptation relies on children.

How to Use Your Inner Voice
We all have an inner voice, and while it can be supportive, it can also become overly critical. The good news: ___16___ Here are three science-backed strategies to refine (改善) your inner dialogue, inspired by the groundbreaking work of psychologist Ethan Kross.
Distancing Ourselves from Negative Thoughts
____17____ Kross’s research on self-distancing offers a powerful solution. By referring to yourself in the third person or using your own name, you create psychological distance which reduces emotional reactivity. For instance, instead of thinking, “I’m failing”, try telling yourself, “[Add Your Name], you’re learning through this challenge.” This simple shift can help you approach problems with clarity and objectivity.
Inner Coach vs. Inner Critic
____18____ It helps us plan, solve problems, and motivate ourselves. But it can also make us more anxious and hurt our relationships. Kross recommends that we should make the most of its good points while keeping its bad ones in check. When you’re faced with self-criticism, try shifting to your inner coach for guidance. These slight changes in how we talk to ourselves can lower our stress and help us solve problems better.
____19____
Building a constructive inner voice requires practice. Just before bed, journal about a moment where positive self-talk helped you. Reflect on how it shaped your response and what you can carry into tomorrow. Over time, this habit can help reinforce a growth mindset and prepare you to tackle challenges with more confidence.
Conclusion
By practicing self-distancing, reframing criticism, and reflecting on positive moments, you can turn your inner voice into a source of strength and clarity. ____20____
A. Our inner voice cuts both ways.
B. Talking to yourself during tough times.
C. Growing through Positive Self-Dialogue
D. Feeling overwhelmed by your inner critic?
E. Self-talk can be transformed into a tool for growth and success.

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。
My sister Sumi is a single mother, and her daughter Anna has always been called “Number 23.” Every time the school released exam results, Anna would end up in 23rd place among the 50 pupils. Always 23, regardless of topic or term. The nickname always filled Sumi with concern.
Sumi now runs a service firm that plans small events—outdoor trips for staff and their families, or weekend parties. The discussion nearly always turns to their children, since most of her clients are parents. You know how it goes—one parent discusses their child’s piano honors, another boasts about Math Olympiads or leadership responsibilities. Sumi would simply sit there, softly nodding, feeling uncomfortable. While others were honoring these “great youngsters,” all she could think about was Anna and her Number 23.
At a family get-together, as lunch concluded, someone playfully asked the youngsters what they wanted to be when they grew up. Bold, ambitious answers filled the room: “I want to be a pianist!” “I want to be a famous actor!” “I want to be a politician!” “I’ll start a business and make tons of money!” Adults applauded each declaration, celebrating these impressive dreams.
Anna, however, didn’t answer. She was quietly helping-bringing cups of soup, handing out cookies—content in her own little world. The relative then prompted. “Anna, what do you want to be?” Anna paused, then smiled. “Uncle, I want to be a Montessori teacher. I love tiny kids, dancing, singing, and playing.” The lively room fell silent.
Sumi’s heart sank with embarrassment, fearing the quiet meant adults found Anna’s dream small or unimpressive. Yet, Anna remained calm, her gentle smile unwavering(坚定的), as if she knew a profound truth about her path’s value and joy, a truth the adults, caught in worldly expectations, hadn’t grasped.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
An elderly aunt broke into warm applause.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
For the first time. Sumi saw “Number 23” not as a shortcoming.
