When John Todd was a child, he loved to explore the woods around his house, observing how nature solved problems. A dirty stream, for example, often became clear after flowing through plants and along rocks where tiny creatures lived. When he got older, John started to wonder if this process could be used to clean up the messes people were making.
After studying agriculture, medicine, and fisheries in college, John went back to observing nature and asking questions. Why can certain plants trap harmful bacteria? Which kinds of fish can eat cancer-causing chemicals? With the right combination of animals and plants, he figured, maybe he could clean up waste the way nature did. He decided to build what he would later call an eco-machine.
The task John set for himself was to remove harmful substances from some sludge (污泥). First, he constructed a series of clear fiberglass tanks connected to each other. Then he went around to local ponds and streams and brought back some plants and animals. He placed them in the tanks and waited. Little by little, these different kinds of life got used to one another and formed their own ecosystem. After a few weeks, John added the sludge.
He was amazed at the results. The plants and animals in the eco-machine took the sludge as food and began to eat it! Within weeks, it had all been digested, and all that was left was pure water.
Over the years, John has taken on many big jobs. He developed a greenhouse-like facility that treated sewage (污水) from 1,600 homes in South Burlington. He also designed an eco-machine to clean canal water in Fuzhou, a city in southeast China.
“Ecological design” is the name John gives to what he does. “Life on Earth is kind of a box of spare parts for the inventor,” he says. “You put organisms in new relationships and observe what’s happening. Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair.”
41. What can we learn about John from the first two paragraphs?
A. He enjoyed being alone. B. He was fond of traveling.
C. He longed to be a doctor. D. He had an inquiring mind.
42. Why did John put the sludge into the tanks?
A. To test the eco-machine. B. To build an ecosystem.
C. To protect the plants. D. To feed the animals.
43. What happened to the sludge in the eco-machine?
A. It remained unchanged. B. It was removed permanently.
C. It was eaten by plants and animals. D. It transformed into harmful substances.
44. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Fuzhou?
A To review John’s research plans. B. To compare John’s different jobs.
C. To show an application of John’s idea. D. To eras doubts about John’s invention.
45. What is the basis for John’s work?
A. Nature can repair itself. B. Life on Earth is diverse.
C. Organisms need water to survive. D. Most tiny creatures live in groups.
【答案】41. D 42. A 43. C 44. C 45. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了John Todd从小就喜欢观察大自然净化环境,长大后他开始思考如何运用这一过程来净化人类制造的肮脏,后来他设计出了一款生态机器来处理污水里的有害物质,多年来他承接了许多大项目,帮助净化污水。

推理判断题。根据第一段“When John Todd was a child, he loved to explore the woods around his house, observing how nature solved problems. A dirty stream, for example, often became clear after flowing through plants and along rocks where tiny creatures lived. When he got older, John started to wonder if this process could be used to clean up the messes people were making.(当John Todd还是个孩子的时候,他喜欢探索房子周围的树林,观察大自然是如何解决问题的。例如,一条肮脏的溪流在穿过植物和微小生物居住的岩石后往往会变得清澈。当他长大后,John开始想知道这个过程是否可以用来清理人们制造的肮脏)”和第二段“After studying agriculture, medicine, and fisheries in college, John went back to observing nature and asking questions. Why can certain plants trap harmful bacteria? Which kinds of fish can eat cancer-causing chemicals? With the right combination of animals and plants, he figured, maybe he could clean up waste the way nature did. He decided to build what he would later call an eco-machine.(在大学里学习了农业、医学和渔业知识之后,约翰又重新投入到对自然的观察和探索中,并开始提出各种问题。为什么某些植物能够抑制有害细菌的滋生?哪些种类的鱼能够分解致癌物质?他推测,如果能将合适的动植物组合起来,或许就能像大自然那样处理废弃物。于是,他决定建造一个他后来称之为“生态机器”的装置)”可知,John Todd从小就喜欢观察大自然,他长大后思考这个过程是否可以用来清理人类污染,大学里他在学习的时候也会观察大自然并提问题,由此可推测出,他好问、爱探索。故选D。
【42题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“After a few weeks, John added the sludge.(几周后,John加入了污泥)”和第四段“He was amazed at the results. The plants and animals in the eco-machine took the sludge as food and began to eat it! Within weeks, it had all been digested, and all that was left was pure water.(他对这一结果感到十分惊讶。生态机器中的植物和动物将污泥当作食物并开始食用它!短短几周内,所有的污泥都被消化掉了,剩下的就只有纯净的水了)”可推知,他把污泥加进去是为了测试生态机器的效果,结果是污泥全部被净化了。故选A。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The plants and animals in the eco-machine took the sludge as food and began to eat it!(生态机器中的植物和动物将污泥当作食物,并开始食用它!)”可知,生态机器里的淤泥被植物和动物给吃掉了。故选C。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Over the years, John has taken on many big jobs. He developed a greenhouse-like facility that treated sewage (污水) from 1,600 homes in South Burlington. He also designed an eco-machine to clean canal water in Fuzhou. a city in southeast China.(多年来,约翰承担了许多艰巨的任务。他建造了一个类似温室的设施,用于处理南伯灵顿1600户家庭的污水。他还设计了一种生态净化设备,用于净化中国东南部城市福州的运河水)”可知,John已经承担了很多大型工作。紧接着通过他的发明应用于南伯林顿和福州的例子来说明他的想法在实践中的应用。故选C。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“With the right combination of animals and plants, he figured, maybe he could clean up waste the way nature did. He decided to build what he would later call an eco-machine.(他认为,如果能将合适的动植物组合起来,或许就能像大自然那样处理废弃物了。于是,他决定建造一个他后来称之为“生态机器”的装置)”和最后一段中的“Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair.(然后你让这些新系统发展出自己的自我修复方式)”可推知,他工作的基础是自然会自我修复。故选A。
C
It’s probably no surprise to their owners, but dogs, much like people, have remarkable personalities that change as time goes on, according to a new study. Researchers of Michigan State University say dogs also have moods like humans, and their personality traits (特征) affect how they react to different situations. The study reveals that dog owners have huge influence over these traits, with such changes occurring as a response to an owner’s personality or mental state. For example, people who felt happy about their relationship with their pet tended to have a dog that was more active and excitable.
“When humans go through big changes in life, their personality traits can change. We found that this also happens with dogs and to a surprisingly large degree,” explains author William Chopik, professor of psychology at MSU, in a university release.
“We expected the dogs’ personalities to be stable because they don’t have wild lifestyle changes as humans do, but they actually change a lot. We uncovered similarities to their owners, the best time for training and even a time in their lives when they can get more aggressive (具攻击性的) toward other animals.”
The researchers specially examined behaviors that can be predicted by personality. They found that a dog’s mood influences their attachment and bond to their owners, biting behavior, and even chronic illness. Such correlations (相互关系) show how a dog’s personality can actually help predict future behavior. “We found correlations in three main areas: in age and personality, in human-to-dog personality similarities and in the influence a dog’s personality has on the quality of its relationship with its owner,” says Chopik. “Older dogs are much harder to train. We found that the ‘sweet spot’ for teaching a dog obedient (服从) is around the age of six, when it outgrows its excitable puppy stage but before it’s too set in its ways.”
Results show that dogs’ personalities change over time based on the quality of their relationships with their owners. A dog’s age in particular has a deep effect on its personality, and while many behaviours can be corrected, those coming from fear and aggression are more difficult to correct for pet parents. Previous research has shown how dogs can actually read their owners’ facial expressions and become more stressed when they’re in a bad mood.
46. What was the researcher’s view on dogs’ personalities before carrying out the study?
A. They were easily influenced.
B. They basically didn’t change.
C. They were changing with time.
D. They took a long time to develop.
47. What do you know about the research mentioned in the passage?
A. There were some limitations in it.
B. It solved the problem of training dogs.
C. It was based on a survey of dog owners.
D. It discovered what influenced a dog’s behavior.
48. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Hard time. B. Golden time. C. Best position. D. Dangerous period.
49. What can be concluded from the last paragraph?
A. Dogs should be trained as early as possible.
B. Some dogs are born with an aggressive personality.
C. A dog will comfort its owner when he/she feels low.
D. The owner’s anxiety can be passed on to his/ her dog.
50. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Dogs also have personality changes.
B. Different dogs have different personalities.
C. Dogs are rarely influenced by their owners.
D. Dogs’ personalities are always the same as their owners’.
【答案】46. B 47. D 48. B 49. D 50. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于狗性格变化的研究,研究发现狗的性格会随着时间推移而变化,并且受到主人的影响。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“We expected the dogs’ personalities to be stable because they don't have wild lifestyle changes as humans do, but they actually change a lot.(我们原本认为狗狗的性格是稳定的,因为它们不会像人类一样经历剧烈的生活方式变化,但实际上它们改变了很多。)”可知,研究人员在开展研究前认为狗狗的性格基本不会改变。stable意为“稳定的”,与“basically didn’t change”表意一致。故选B项。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The researchers specially examined behaviors that can be predicted by personality. They found that a dog’s mood influences their attachment and bond to their owners, biting behavior, and even chronic illness. Such correlations (相互关系) show how a dog’s personality can actually help predict future behavior.(研究人员专门研究了可由性格预测的行为。他们发现狗狗的情绪会影响其对主人的依恋和亲密程度、咬人行为,甚至是慢性疾病。这些关联表明狗狗的性格实际上有助于预测其未来行为。)”可知,该研究发现了影响狗狗行为的相关因素。故选D项。
【48题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“We found that the ‘sweet spot’ for teaching a dog obedient (服从) is around the age of six, when it outgrows its excitable puppy stage but before it's too set in its ways."(我们发现训练狗狗听话的‘sweet spot’在六岁左右,此时狗狗已经度过了爱兴奋的幼犬阶段,但又还没形成固定的习性。)”可知,六岁左右是训犬的合适时机,由此可推测“sweet spot”意为“黄金时期”。故选B项。
【49题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Previous research has shown how dogs can actually read their owners’ facial expressions and become more stressed when they’re in a bad mood.(此前的研究表明,狗狗其实能读懂主人的面部表情,当主人心情不佳时,它们也会变得更紧张。)”可知,主人的焦虑情绪会传递给狗狗。故选D项。
【50题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,文章开篇即点明研究结论“dogs, much like people, have remarkable personalities that change as time goes on, according to a new study.(根据一个新研究,狗狗和人类很像,有着显著且会随时间改变的性格。)”,随后围绕狗狗性格的变化、影响因素等展开说明,因此文章主旨是狗狗也会有性格变化。故选A项。
D
The debate surrounding the ideal approach to education has been ongoing for many years. One suggestion that often arises is the inclusion of unpaid community service as a compulsory component of high school programs. In reality, a significant number of students, including those in college, already engage in charitable work, community service, and internships (实习) prior to graduation. Personally, I am totally in favor of it.
Participating in volunteer activities offers students numerous benefits, particularly in terms of improved social relationships. Engaging in these services provides graduating students with valuable experiences that help prepare them for the challenges they will encounter in society at a young age. Charities may teach students how to help the needy and spread warmth without the form of money. Activities such as helping neighbors or mentoring younger pupils are practical ways to enhance social acceptability, as they encourage greater communication and interaction with others. Additionally, involvement in these programs encourages students to make more meaningful use of their time, promoting outdoor activities that contribute to their overall well-being. Rather than spending excessive time at home playing video games or chatting online, students can dedicate their time to helping others.
Moreover, unpaid school programs can address various issues commonly faced by young individuals. A previous study conducted in the United States revealed a significant reduction in the juvenile (未成年的) crime rate, specifically from 11.6% to 6.3% around the year 2015. Fear, anxiety, and loneliness are prevalent among youths who may feel rejected by society. However, successful completion of community service teaches a sense of accomplishment, promoting communication skills and developing self-confidence. These aspects play a crucial role in transforming young individuals into responsible and productive members of society.
Overall, unpaid programs for school students are the key parts to shape students’ worldviews before they step into society. It is a challenging decision for the government, but it is undeniably a win-win situation for both students and communities. By actively participating in unpaid community service, students acquire essential life skills, enhance their social connections, contribute to the improvement of society, and lay a strong foundation for their personal and professional growth. It is an approach that holds enormous potential and should be given serious consideration in the field of education.
51. What is the topic of the ongoing debate mentioned in the passage?
A. The importance of extracurricular activities in education.
B. The inclusion of unpaid community service in high school.
C. The existing involvement of students in internships.
D. The effectiveness of college internships.
52. Participating in volunteer activities help graduating students with ________.
A. acquiring job opportunities
B. improving their financial status
C. enhancing their physical fitness
D. preparing for challenges in society
53. What effect did unpaid community work have on students, according to a previous study?
A. It lowered the juvenile crime rate.
B. It placed financial burdens on students.
C. It improved students’ study performance.
D. It promoted excessive video game playing.
54. What message does the last paragraph convey?
A. The importance of unpaid community services in shaping students’ worldviews.
B. The advantages and disadvantages of unpaid community services.
C. The challenges in carrying out unpaid community services.
D. The potential of unpaid community services in education.
55. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?
A. To persuade readers to participate in unpaid community services.
B. To illustrate the education system with unpaid community services.
C. To explain the benefits of unpaid community services to the readers.
D. To share the author’ personal experience with unpaid community services.
【答案】51. B 52. D 53. A 54. A 55. C

Most of us associate learning with younger people—kids in school and college or recent graduates early in their careers. But at Udemy, an open university offering online courses, Artist Anneke Camstra is engaged in the pursuit of lifelong learning and displays her potential for teaching. She loves the experience of gaining new knowledge and also loves sharing it with others. “I’m retired, but an artist never retires,” Anneke said. “The last few years on the internet have been a great joy for me. I’ve taken so many Udemy courses, and ifs such a great feeling to get my brain working again. I find just as much satisfaction in teaching animation(动画制作)too.”
She reaches countless people with her online courses and exposes them to what they can accomplish on their own using animation software, such as GoAnimate and PowToon. Her motivation for teaching on Udemy is “to get the tools to the people.”“You can go such a long way to make things that look professional but still have your own voice,” she explained.
Most of Anneke’s students start out thinking they’re not creative and can’t draw. Anneke understands how fear can get in the way of so many things people dream of doing. With her five-day challenge courses, she helps them get over the fear. Anneke loves the impact she has on her students. What makes her more proud of them is that they have gone from their first animation to creating their own works.
She encourages people of all ages, especially older people, to cultivate their curiosity for life. Grandparents, for example, can learn to use GoAnimate and make animations together with their grandkids.
“Tm an older woman, teaching and having fun learning again,” Anneke said, and she wants others later in their lives to catch up with her on this journey.
56. What does Anneke enjoy doing after her retirement? (no more than 10 words)
57. According to Para. 2, what does Anneke expect her students to do with animation software? (no more than 10 words)
58. What is the main idea of Para. 3? (no more than 15 words)
59. Please explain the meaning of the underlined word in Para. 4(1 word)
60. What do you suggest old people learn to do? Please give your reason(s). (no more than 20 words)
【答案】56. Gaining new knowledge and sharing it with others.
Or: Taking Udemycourses and teaching animation.
57. To make professional products and express themselves.
Or: To accomplish/complete professional and unique works.
Or: To achieve their goals/what they dream of.
58. Anneke helps her students get over the fear and create their own animation works.
59. Develop.
60. To learn to use social media, because it allows them to get to know the outside world better.
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了退休艺术家Anneke Camstra,人老心不老,积极对待生活,在线上从事动画教学的故事。
【56题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段中“She loves the experience of gaining new knowledge and also loves sharing it with others. (她喜欢获得新知识的经历,也喜欢与他人分享。)”以及她所说的话“I’ve taken so many Udemy courses, and ifs such a great feeling to get my brain working again. I find just as much satisfaction in teaching animation too. (我上了很多Udemy的课程,能让我的大脑重新工作真是太棒了。我在动画教学中也发现了同样的满足感。)”可知,Anneke退休后获得新的知识并与人分享,她参加Udemy课程并教授动画。故答案为Gaining new knowledge and sharing it with others. Or: Taking Udemycourses and teaching animation.
【57题详解】
考查推理判断。根据第二段中“Her motivation for teaching on Udemy is ‘to get the tools to the people.’‘You can go such a long way to make things that look professional but still have your own voice,’ she explained.(她教Udemy的动机是‘把工具带给人们’。她解释说:‘你可以走很长一段路,让事情看起来很专业,但仍然有自己的声音。’)”可以推知,她希望学生制作动画有专业性,同时要表达自己的思想,有自己的特色,实现自己的梦想。故答案为To make professional products and express themselves. Or: To accomplish/complete professional and unique works. Or: To achieve their goals/what they dream of.
【58题详解】
考查主旨大意。根据第三段中“Anneke understands how fear can get in the way of so many things people dream of doing. With her five-day challenge courses, she helps them get over the fear. Anneke loves the impact she has on her students. What makes her more proud of them is that they have gone from their first animation to creating their own works.
(Anneke知道恐惧是如何阻碍人们梦想的事情。通过为期五天的挑战课程,她帮助他们克服恐惧。Anneke喜欢她对学生的影响。更让她感到自豪的是,他们已经从第一部动画发展到创作自己的作品。)”可知,第3段的主旨是Anneke帮助学生克服克服恐惧并创造他们自己的动画作品。故答案为Anneke helps her students get over the fear and create their own animation works.
【59题详解】
考查词句猜测。划线词句后文“Grandparents, for example, can learn to use GoAnimate and make animations together with their grandkids. (例如,祖父母可以学习使用GoAnimate和他们的孙辈们一起制作动画。)”举例说明了Anneke主张让老年人和孙辈们一起制作动画,再根据划线词语“She encourages people of all ages, especially older people, tocultivatetheir curiosity for life. (她鼓励所有年龄段的人,尤其是老年人,cultivate他们对生活的好奇心。)”可知,Anneke鼓励老年人,培养发展他们的好奇心。从而推知划线词语cultivate应为“培养;发展”的意思。故答案为Develop.
【60题详解】
考查读后表达。通读全文,以Anneke Camstra的榜样,我建议应该让老年人学习使用社交媒体,因为它使老年人能更好的了解外面的世界。故答案为To learn to use social media, because it allows them to get to know the outside world better.

I’m Li Jin, a Senior Three student. It’s a great honor to share my thoughts on greeting this crucial year.
In study, managing time well is key. We should make a daily plan that fits our needs, and find methods that work for us — like taking notes to review effectively. I believe that if we stay focused, we’ll make steady progress.
In daily life, exercising regularly helps us stay healthy, which is the foundation of good study. We can also spend some time on hobbies to relax, such as listening to music or reading.
For the future, I hope to enter my dream university and study my favorite major. I know Senior Three is challenging, but as long as we support each other, we’ll achieve our goals. Let’s embrace Senior Three with courage and passion!
Thank you!

When John Todd was a child he loved to explore the woods around his house, observing how nature solved problems. A dirty stream, for example, often became clear after flowing through plants and along rocks where tiny creatures lived. When he got older, John started to wonder if this process could be used to clean up the messes people were making.
After studying agriculture, medicine, and fisheries in college, John went back to observing nature and asking questions. Why can certain plants trap harmful bacteria? Which kinds of fish can eat cancer-causing chemicals? With the right combination of animals and plants, he figured, maybe he could clean up waste the way nature did. He decided to build what he would later call an eco-machine.
The task John set for himself was to remove harmful substances from some sludge (污泥). First, he constructed a series of clear fiberglass tanks connected to each other. Then he went around to local ponds and streams and brought back some plants and animals. He placed them in the tanks and waited. Little by little, these different kinds of life got used to one another and formed their own ecosystem. After a few weeks, John added the sludge.
He was amazed at the results. The plants and animals in the eco-machine took the sludge as food and began to eat it! Within weeks, it had all been digested, and all that was left was pure water.
Over the years, John has taken on many big jobs. He developed a greenhouse-like facility that treated sewage (污水) from 1,600 homes in South Burlington. He also designed an eco-machine to clean canal water in Fuzhou, a city in southeast China.
“Ecological design” is the name John gives to what he does. “Life on Earth is kind of a box of spare parts for the inventor,” he says. “You put organisms in new relationships and observe what’s happening. Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair.”
41. What can we learn about John from the first two paragraphs?
A. He enjoyed being alone. B. He was fond of traveling.
C. He longed to be a doctor. D. He had an inquiring mind.
42. Why did John put the sludge into the tanks?
A. To test the eco-machine. B. To build an ecosystem.
C. To protect the plants. D. To feed the animals.
43. What happened to the sludge in the eco-machine?
A. It remained unchanged. B. It was removed permanently.
C. It was eaten by plants and animals. D. It transformed into harmful substances.
44. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Fuzhou?
A. To review John’s research plans. B. To compare John’s different jobs.
C. To show an application of John’s idea. D. To eras doubts about John’s invention.
45. What is the basis for John’s work?
A. Nature can repair itself. B. Life on Earth is diverse.
C. Organisms need water to survive. D. Most tiny creatures live in groups.
C
It’s probably no surprise to their owners, but dogs, much like people, have remarkable personalities that change as time goes on, according to a new study. Researchers of Michigan State University say dogs also have moods like humans, and their personality traits (特征) affect how they react to different situations. The study reveals that dog owners have huge influence over these traits, with such changes occurring as a response to an owner’s personality or mental state. For example, people who felt happy about their relationship with their pet tended to have a dog that was more active and excitable.
“When humans go through big changes in life, their personality traits can change. We found that this also happens with dogs and to a surprisingly large degree,” explains author William Chopik, professor of psychology at MSU, in a university release.
“We expected the dogs’ personalities to be stable because they don’t have wild lifestyle changes as humans do, but they actually change a lot. We uncovered similarities to their owners, the best time for training and even a time in their lives when they can get more aggressive (具攻击性的) toward other animals.”
The researchers specially examined behaviors that can be predicted by personality. They found that a dog’s mood influences their attachment and bond to their owners, biting behavior, and even chronic illness. Such correlations (相互关系) show how a dog’s personality can actually help predict future behavior. “We found correlations in three main areas: in age and personality, in human-to-dog personality similarities and in the influence a dog’s personality has on the quality of its relationship with its owner,” says Chopik. “Older dogs are much harder to train. We found that the ‘sweet spot’ for teaching a dog obedient (服从) is around the age of six, when it outgrows its excitable puppy stage but before it’s too set in its ways.”
Results show that dogs’ personalities change over time based on the quality of their relationships with their owners. A dog’s age in particular has a deep effect on its personality, and while many behaviours can be corrected, those coming from fear and aggression are more difficult to correct for pet parents. Previous research has shown how dogs can actually read their owners’ facial expressions and become more stressed when they’re in a bad mood.
46. What was the researcher’s view on dogs’ personalities before carrying out the study?
A. They were easily influenced.
B. They basically didn’t change.
C. They were changing with time.
D. They took a long time to develop.
47. What do you know about the research mentioned in the passage?
A There were some limitations in it.
B. It solved the problem of training dogs.
C. It was based on a survey of dog owners.
D. It discovered what influenced a dog’s behavior.
48. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Hard time. B. Golden time. C. Best position. D. Dangerous period.
49. What can be concluded from the last paragraph?
A. Dogs should be trained as early as possible.
B. Some dogs are born with an aggressive personality.
C. A dog will comfort its owner when he/she feels low.
D. The owner’s anxiety can be passed on to his/ her dog.
50. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Dogs also have personality changes.
B. Different dogs have different personalities.
C. Dogs are rarely influenced by their owners.
D. Dogs’ personalities are always the same as their owners’.
D
The debate surrounding the ideal approach to education has been ongoing for many years. One suggestion that often arises is the inclusion of unpaid community service as a compulsory component of high school programs. In reality, a significant number of students, including those in college, already engage in charitable work, community service, and internships (实习) prior to graduation. Personally, I am totally in favor of it.
Participating in volunteer activities offers students numerous benefits, particularly in terms of improved social relationships. Engaging in these services provides graduating students with valuable experiences that help prepare them for the challenges they will encounter in society at a young age. Charities may teach students how to help the needy and spread warmth without the form of money. Activities such as helping neighbors or mentoring younger pupils are practical ways to enhance social acceptability, as they encourage greater communication and interaction with others. Additionally, involvement in these programs encourages students to make more meaningful use of their time, promoting outdoor activities that contribute to their overall well-being. Rather than spending excessive time at home playing video games or chatting online, students can dedicate their time to helping others.
Moreover, unpaid school programs can address various issues commonly faced by young individuals. A previous study conducted in the United States revealed a significant reduction in the juvenile (未成年的) crime rate, specifically from 11.6% to 6.3% around the year 2015. Fear, anxiety, and loneliness are prevalent among youths who may feel rejected by society. However, successful completion of community service teaches a sense of accomplishment, promoting communication skills and developing self-confidence. These aspects play a crucial role in transforming young individuals into responsible and productive members of society.
Overall, unpaid programs for school students are the key parts to shape students’ worldviews before they step into society. It is a challenging decision for the government, but it is undeniably a win-win situation for both students and communities. By actively participating in unpaid community service, students acquire essential life skills, enhance their social connections, contribute to the improvement of society, and lay a strong foundation for their personal and professional growth. It is an approach that holds enormous potential and should be given serious consideration in the field of education.
51. What is the topic of the ongoing debate mentioned in the passage?
A. The importance of extracurricular activities in education.
B. The inclusion of unpaid community service in high school.
C. The existing involvement of students in internships.
D. The effectiveness of college internships.
52. Participating in volunteer activities help graduating students with ________.
A. acquiring job opportunities
B. improving their financial status
C. enhancing their physical fitness
D. preparing for challenges in society
53. What effect did unpaid community work have on students, according to a previous study?
A. It lowered the juvenile crime rate.
B. It placed financial burdens on students.
C. It improved students’ study performance.
D. It promoted excessive video game playing.
54. What message does the last paragraph convey?
A. The importance of unpaid community services in shaping students’ worldviews.
B. The advantages and disadvantages of unpaid community services.
C. The challenges in carrying out unpaid community services.
D. The potential of unpaid community services in education.
55. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?

Most of us associate learning with younger people—kids in school and college or recent graduates early in their careers. But at Udemy, an open university offering online courses, Artist Anneke Camstra is engaged in the pursuit of lifelong learning and displays her potential for teaching. She loves the experience of gaining new knowledge and also loves sharing it with others. “I’m retired, but an artist never retires,” Anneke said. “The last few years on the internet have been a great joy for me. I’ve taken so many Udemy courses, and ifs such a great feeling to get my brain working again. I find just as much satisfaction in teaching animation(动画制作)too.”
She reaches countless people with her online courses and exposes them to what they can accomplish on their own using animation software, such as GoAnimate and PowToon. Her motivation for teaching on Udemy is “to get the tools to the people.”“You can go such a long way to make things that look professional but still have your own voice,” she explained.
Most of Anneke’s students start out thinking they’re not creative and can’t draw. Anneke understands how fear can get in the way of so many things people dream of doing. With her five-day challenge courses, she helps them get over the fear. Anneke loves the impact she has on her students. What makes her more proud of them is that they have gone from their first animation to creating their own works.
She encourages people of all ages, especially older people, to cultivate their curiosity for life. Grandparents, for example, can learn to use GoAnimate and make animations together with their grandkids.
“Tm an older woman, teaching and having fun learning again,” Anneke said, and she wants others later in their lives to catch up with her on this journey.
