Photographer Brandon Stanton has spent more than a decade building the global storytelling movement called Humans of New York, a project that shares photos and personal stories of people he meets on the street. Now he is celebrating the city where it all began with his fifth book, Dear New York.
Stanton grew up in Marietta, Georgia, and studied history at the University of Georgia. After college, he worked in finance in Chicago, Illinois. In 2010, he lost his job and moved to New York City with an idea: to photograph 10,000 people throughout the city and ask them their story. His subjects ranged from a retired teacher to an immigrant (移民) starting a business. It evolved into the series Humans of New York on social media and now has more than 30 million followers worldwide.
Over the years, Stanton became a best-selling author of five collections of his photography, beginning with Humans of New York in 2013. His newest book, Dear New York, is filled with hundreds of portraits and stories collected over two years from across the city’s five districts. Stanton had the book published to complete a strong charitable mission: all the proceeds from the book are used to support various voluntary service programs in New York City, including a local food bank and a youth arts program.
Alongside the book, Stanton revealed an installation (装置艺术) at Grand Central Terminal that ran for two weeks in October, featuring more than 150 digital screens showing portraits and stories from the city. It also included an art showcase with photos taken by more than 600 public school students. Stanton called it “a celebration of people”, adding that a special “message wall” allowed visitors to share their own reflections.
Stanton told CBS there are three parts to his mission: “To use my work to provide comfort, improve the lives of other people, and create moments of connection.”
4. What originally inspired Stanton to start the Humans of New York project?
A. His academic background in history.
B. His passion for street photography.
C. The sudden job loss and a new life goal.
D. The encouragement from his followers.
5. Which of the following best describes the development of the Humans of New York project?
A. From a local attempt to a global hit.
B. From a personal hobby to a financial tool.
C. From a professional study to a public lecture.
D. From a written blog to a photographic exhibition.
6. What does the underlined word “proceeds” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Plans. B. Progress. C. Processes. D. Profits.
7. What do we know about Stanton from the installation at Grand Central Terminal?
A. He expands his influence from online to offline spaces.
B. He values the perspective of the younger generation.
C. He focuses entirely on the stories of New York citizens.
D. He commercializes his project through various exhibitions.
C
Severe winters and modern cities make life tough for wild animals, especially when they get lost or wander too far from their natural habitats. Animal sanctuaries (庇护所) are often flooded with animals in desperate need of help, especially in winter — yet a recent rescue at the Suffolk Owl Sanctuary in Eastern England stood out for an unusual reason.
This sanctuary, which typically cares for injured owls, received its first-ever overweight owl (猫头鹰). A member of the public found the small, wet bird struggling in a bush and brought it in. A thorough check-up revealed no injuries; the owl couldn’t fly simply because it was overweight — weighing 245 grams, 33% above the normal upper limit for its size. The cause was natural: an unusually warm winter, combined with a sharp four-year population increase of mice, created an “all-you-can-eat buffet” that led the owl to overeat.
The sanctuary put the owl on a diet and exercise routine, and it quickly lost weight and regained health. It was eventually released back into the wild, with a video of its smooth flight from a wooden box posted on the sanctuary’s Facebook page.
Whether this obesity (肥胖症) case is a strange effect of climate change or a coincidence of mouse population cycles and milder weather remains unclear. However, it emphasizes the importance of protecting wild animals. If you encounter a suffering wild animal, approach with caution—wear gloves and avoid risks, as they may be unused to humans, tending to attack, or carrying diseases.
Wild animals struggle to adapt to modern cities, and animal sanctuaries serve as vital safe shelters. Staffed by professionals, these sanctuaries rescue not only injured or sick animals but also those in danger, especially critical in winter when food and shelter are lacking. While some focus on specific species like owls and others on certain regions, all share the same goal: to restore wild animals to their natural state and return them to the wild.
8. Why was the rescue of the owl by the Suffolk Owl Sanctuary considered unusual?
A. It was for an owl found struggling in a bush.
B. It marked the sanctuary’s first overweight owl case.
C. It involved a species rarely seen in that region of England.
D. It released an owl back into the wild sooner than expected.
9. What does the author imply by mentioning the video on Facebook?
A. The sanctuary has a large number of fans.
B. The sanctuary keeps track of the owl in the wild.
C. The owl has recovered and returned to nature.
D. The public is eager to know the situation of the owl.
10. What message does the author want to convey through the owl case?
A. Animal sanctuaries should pay attention to animal obesity.
B. Environmental changes can disturb natural animal behavior.
C. Wildlife should be kept in sanctuaries for better protection.
D. Global warming is the primary threat to all wildlife populations.
11. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph?
A. To list the different types of animal sanctuaries.
B. To emphasize the essential role of animal sanctuaries.
C. To explain the challenges wild animals face in cities.
D. To call for more public donations to sanctuaries.
D
Scientists have made a breakthrough in helping those suffering from visual disorders by placing tiny electronic chips into the back of their eyes. The chips are only 2mm wide, about as thick as a grain of rice.
A trial involved 38 patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) (黄斑变性), a condition mostly affecting the elderly and making central vision unclear. Around 600,000 people in the UK have AMD. The trial was conducted at 17 hospitals in five European countries, including the UK. The patients had “dry AMD”, which damages light-detecting cells at the back of the eye. These cells transform light into electrical signals for the brain. When these cells are damaged or destroyed, they cause poor vision, and there is currently no cure for this condition.
The tiny “bionic” chips can give people back some sight. Bionic means a man-made object that acts as a body part. The patients get a pair of glasses with a built-in video camera and a small pocket-sized black box that processes the data. When wearing the glasses, the patient looks at an object, for instance, a book. The camera captures the image, sends data to the black box for clarification, and the processed information is then delivered to the chip under the retina (视网膜). The wireless chip sends signals (just like TV remotes do) to the optic nerve (视觉神经), which communicates with the brain. However, patients need time to train their brains to interpret the images.
Patients can only see in black and white, but it has significantly improved the lives of those who were treated. Seventy-year-old Sheila Irvine was one of the patients who took part in the trial. She is registered as blind, but now is able to read books and do crosswords. “It is amazing,” she told the BBC. “I am one happy cookie now.”
Scientists are also excited. “Blind patients are actually able to have meaningful central vision restoration, which has never been done before,” said Mahi Muqit, an associate professor at University College London.
12. What can be inferred about the “breakthrough” mentioned in the first paragraph?
A. It restores partial vision for a specific previously incurable condition.
B. It marks the first successful medical application of bionic technology.
C. It provides a complete and permanent cure for patients with AMD.
D. Its innovation lies in the extremely small size of the electronic chip.
13. What is the main problem caused by “dry AMD”?
A. It prevents the eyes from producing tears.
B. It makes the patient’s glasses difficult to wear.
C. It causes the optic nerve to stop working completely.
D. It damages the light-sensitive cells at the back of the eye.
14. How does the bionic chip help patients regain sight?
A. By delivering signals to the black box.
B. By capturing clear images for the eyes.
C. By changing light into electrical signals itself.
D. By sending processed signals to the optic nerve.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. A New Cure Discovered for Dry AMD
B. A Breakthrough treatment for the Blind
C. A Bionic Chip for Partial Vision Restoration
D. A Wireless Chip for Instant AMD Sight Recovery

Awkward experiences possess hidden value. ____20____ Conclude a demanding day with a rewarding activity — you deserve it. Furthermore, when witnessing someone else in discomfort, consider how you might help them relieve their unease. Your kindness could significantly improve their day.

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。
Leo was a quiet student at Pinewood High with a deep love for his school. He preferred to keep away from the laughter and games of his classmates; the quiet music room was his favorite place. His excellent violin talent had earned him a scholarship, making him focus more on music and spend little time with lively peers. Most days, he devoted himself in musical notes, finding comfort in the peace of music and rarely interacting with members of other clubs.
When autumn arrived, a new rule for the annual talent show was announced: each performance must be a group work involving at least three students from different clubs, themed “One Stage We Create”. The winning work would be given prize money. His music teacher, Mr. Davies, encouraged him to form a team, filling Leo with a mix of unease and excitement. “You have a gift, Leo,” Mr. Davies said gently, “but a gift is meant to be shared. Find classmates from the art or literature club who can connect with your music.” Leo hoped to win, as he wanted to use the prize money to make his beloved school more beautiful.
Mr. Davies’ words stayed in his mind. Leo was not used to face-to-face invitations, as he seldom spoke to classmates outside of class. School posters with “TOGETHER WE CREATE” were constant reminders of the task ahead. Determined to step out of his music world and work with others to win the prize, he decided to post a notice online to find teammates—a choice that made him feel much more at ease.
That night, he took a deep breath and posted on the school website: “Looking for 2 teammates from different clubs for the talent show. I play the violin and wish to combine music with art or literature. Theme: One Stage We Create”. He hesitated for a moment before clicking “send”.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next afternoon, right after his violin practice, he checked the website eagerly.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When the big day came, Leo stood confidently on stage with his teammates.

Photographer Brandon Stanton has spent more than a decade building the global storytelling movement called Humans of New York, a project that shares photos and personal stories of people he meets on the street. Now he is celebrating the city where it all began with his fifth book, Dear New York.
Stanton grew up in Marietta, Georgia, and studied history at the University of Georgia. After college, he worked in finance in Chicago, Illinois. In 2010, he lost his job and moved to New York City with an idea: to photograph 10,000 people throughout the city and ask them their story. His subjects ranged from a retired teacher to an immigrant (移民) starting a business. It evolved into the series Humans of New York on social media and now has more than 30 million followers worldwide.
Over the years, Stanton became a best-selling author of five collections of his photography, beginning with Humans of New York in 2013. His newest book, Dear New York, is filled with hundreds of portraits and stories collected over two years from across the city’s five districts. Stanton had the book published to complete a strong charitable mission: all the proceeds from the book are used to support various voluntary service programs in New York City, including a local food bank and a youth arts program.
Alongside the book, Stanton revealed an installation (装置艺术) at Grand Central Terminal that ran for two weeks in October, featuring more than 150 digital screens showing portraits and stories from the city. It also included an art showcase with photos taken by more than 600 public school students. Stanton called it “a celebration of people”, adding that a special “message wall” allowed visitors to share their own reflections.
Stanton told CBS there are three parts to his mission: “To use my work to provide comfort, improve the lives of other people, and create moments of connection.”
4. What originally inspired Stanton to start the Humans of New York project?
A. His academic background in history.
B. His passion for street photography.
C. The sudden job loss and a new life goal.
D. The encouragement from his followers.
5. Which of the following best describes the development of the Humans of New York project?
A. From a local attempt to a global hit.
B. From a personal hobby to a financial tool.
C. From a professional study to a public lecture.

Severe winters and modern cities make life tough for wild animals, especially when they get lost or wander too far from their natural habitats. Animal sanctuaries (庇护所) are often flooded with animals in desperate need of help, especially in winter — yet a recent rescue at the Suffolk Owl Sanctuary in Eastern England stood out for an unusual reason.
This sanctuary, which typically cares for injured owls, received its first-ever overweight owl (猫头鹰). A member of the public found the small, wet bird struggling in a bush and brought it in. A thorough check-up revealed no injuries; the owl couldn’t fly simply because it was overweight — weighing 245 grams, 33% above the normal upper limit for its size. The cause was natural: an unusually warm winter, combined with a sharp four-year population increase of mice, created an “all-you-can-eat buffet” that led the owl to overeat.
The sanctuary put the owl on a diet and exercise routine, and it quickly lost weight and regained health. It was eventually released back into the wild, with a video of its smooth flight from a wooden box posted on the sanctuary’s Facebook page.
Whether this obesity (肥胖症) case is a strange effect of climate change or a coincidence of mouse population cycles and milder weather remains unclear. However, it emphasizes the importance of protecting wild animals. If you encounter a suffering wild animal, approach with caution—wear gloves and avoid risks, as they may be unused to humans, tending to attack, or carrying diseases.
Wild animals struggle to adapt to modern cities, and animal sanctuaries serve as vital safe shelters. Staffed by professionals, these sanctuaries rescue not only injured or sick animals but also those in danger, especially critical in winter when food and shelter are lacking. While some focus on specific species like owls and others on certain regions, all share the same goal: to restore wild animals to their natural state and return them to the wild.
8. Why was the rescue of the owl by the Suffolk Owl Sanctuary considered unusual?
A. It was for an owl found struggling in a bush.
B. It marked the sanctuary’s first overweight owl case.
C. It involved a species rarely seen in that region of England.
D. It released an owl back into the wild sooner than expected.
9. What does the author imply by mentioning the video on Facebook?
A. The sanctuary has a large number of fans.
B. The sanctuary keeps track of the owl in the wild.
C. The owl has recovered and returned to nature.
D. The public is eager to know the situation of the owl.
10. What message does the author want to convey through the owl case?
A. Animal sanctuaries should pay attention to animal obesity.
B. Environmental changes can disturb natural animal behavior.
C. Wildlife should be kept in sanctuaries for better protection.
D. Global warming is the primary threat to all wildlife populations.
11. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph?
A. To list the different types of animal sanctuaries.
B. To emphasize the essential role of animal sanctuaries.
C. To explain the challenges wild animals face in cities.
D. To call for more public donations to sanctuaries.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. B

However, it emphasizes the importance of protecting wild animals.(目前尚不清楚这只猫头鹰的肥胖症是气候变化的奇怪影响,还是老鼠种群周期与天气转暖的巧合。然而,这强调了保护野生动物的重要性)”可知,作者通过这个案例想传达的信息是,环境变化(无论是气候变化还是猎物周期)可能会干扰动物的自然行为。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Wild animals struggle to adapt to modern cities, and animal sanctuaries serve as vital safe shelters. Staffed by professionals, these sanctuaries rescue not only injured or sick animals but also those in danger, especially critical in winter when food and shelter are lacking.

Scientists have made a breakthrough in helping those suffering from visual disorders by placing tiny electronic chips into the back of their eyes. The chips are only 2mm wide, about as thick as a grain of rice.
A trial involved 38 patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) (黄斑变性), a condition mostly affecting the elderly and making central vision unclear. Around 600,000 people in the UK have AMD. The trial was conducted at 17 hospitals in five European countries, including the UK. The patients had “dry AMD”, which damages light-detecting cells at the back of the eye. These cells transform light into electrical signals for the brain. When these cells are damaged or destroyed, they cause poor vision, and there is currently no cure for this condition.
The tiny “bionic” chips can give people back some sight. Bionic means a man-made object that acts as a body part. The patients get a pair of glasses with a built-in video camera and a small pocket-sized black box that processes the data. When wearing the glasses, the patient looks at an object, for instance, a book. The camera captures the image, sends data to the black box for clarification, and the processed information is then delivered to the chip under the retina (视网膜). The wireless chip sends signals (just like TV remotes do) to the optic nerve (视觉神经), which communicates with the brain. However, patients need time to train their brains to interpret the images.
Patients can only see in black and white, but it has significantly improved the lives of those who were treated. Seventy-year-old Sheila Irvine was one of the patients who took part in the trial. She is registered as blind, but now is able to read books and do crosswords. “It is amazing,” she told the BBC. “I am one happy cookie now.”
Scientists are also excited. “Blind patients are actually able to have meaningful central vision restoration, which has never been done before,” said Mahi Muqit, an associate professor at University College London.
12. What can be inferred about the “breakthrough” mentioned in the first paragraph?
A. It restores partial vision for a specific previously incurable condition.
B. It marks the first successful medical application of bionic technology.
C. It provides a complete and permanent cure for patients with AMD.
D. Its innovation lies in the extremely small size of the electronic chip.
13. What is the main problem caused by “dry AMD”?
A. It prevents the eyes from producing tears.
B. It makes the patient’s glasses difficult to wear.
C. It causes the optic nerve to stop working completely.
D. It damages the light-sensitive cells at the back of the eye.
14. How does the bionic chip help patients regain sight?
A. By delivering signals to the black box.
B. By capturing clear images for the eyes.
C. By changing light into electrical signals itself.
D. By sending processed signals to the optic nerve.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. A New Cure Discovered for Dry AMD
B. A Breakthrough treatment for the Blind
C. A Bionic Chip for Partial Vision Restoration
D. A Wireless Chip for Instant AMD Sight Recovery
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. D 15. C

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了中国教师节的历史渊源,从汉代祭祀孔子、尊师的传统,到各朝代的传承发展,再到1985年确定9月10日为教师节的原因及意义。
【36题详解】
考查序数词。句意:根据历史记载,每年农历八月二十七日,也就是中国伟大思想家孔子的诞辰,皇帝都会前往孔庙,在朝廷官员的陪同下向这位著名的哲学家致敬。此处修饰lunar month,结合句意“第八个农历月”,应用序数词,eight的序数词形式为eighth。故填eighth。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:根据历史记载,每年农历八月二十七日,也就是中国伟大思想家孔子的诞辰,皇帝都会前往孔庙,在朝廷官员的陪同下向这位著名的哲学家致敬。分析句子结构可知,句中已有谓语动词would go和show,此处应用非谓语动词;the emperor与follow之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词followed作伴随状语。故填followed。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意:皇帝还会邀请皇家教师进宫参加国宴。state dinner为可数名词单数,空前无限定词,结合句意,此处表示“一场国宴”,为泛指,且state是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词a。故填a。
【39题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:在这一天,全国的教师都会享受一天的假期,并被赠予腊肉作为礼物。此处为句子谓语动词,根据前文enjoyed a day’s vacation可知,时态为一般过去时;teachers与give之间是被动关系,所以用一般过去时的被动语态,主语为复数,be动词用were,give的过去分词为given。故填were given。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意:虽然“教师节”这一名称尚未正式确立,但这种定期祭祀孔子、尊敬教师的做法已经具备了节日的特征。此处修饰动词established,要用副词形式,formal的副词形式为formally,意为“正式地”,符合句意。故填formally。
【41题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:它被广泛认为是中国古代“教师节”的起源。be regarded as为固定搭配,意为“被认为是……”,结合句意,此处表示被认为是起源,所以用介词as。故填as。
【42题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:此后,这一传统在魏、晋、唐、宋、明、清等朝代延续和发展,教师的地位和待遇也逐渐提高。dynasty为可数名词,前面有the Wei, Jin, Tang, Song, Ming and Qing修饰,指多个朝代,所以用复数形式dynasties。故填dynasties。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:近年来,中国政府采取了多项措施,督促全社会尊重教师,改善教师的地位、工作和生活条件。take measures to do sth.为固定搭配,意为“采取措施做某事”。故填to urge。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意:同时,9月没有其他全国性的庆祝活动,便于集中开展相关活动,在全国范围内推动形成尊师重教、尊重人才的良好社会风尚。此处作promote的宾语,且前面有定冠词the修饰,要用名词形式,establish的名词形式为establishment,意为“建立、形成”,为不可数名词,符合句意。故填establishment。
【45题详解】
考查表语从句引导词。句意:这就是9月10日被选为教师节的原因。分析句子结构可知,此处为表语从句,从句中缺少原因状语,结合前文介绍的9月适合作为教师节的两点原因,所以用why引导该表语从句,强调原因。故填why。

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。
Leo was a quiet student at Pinewood High with a deep love for his school. He preferred to keep away from the laughter and games of his classmates; the quiet music room was his favorite place. His excellent violin talent had earned him a scholarship, making him focus more on music and spend little time with lively peers. Most days, he devoted himself in musical notes, finding comfort in the peace of music and rarely interacting with members of other clubs.
When autumn arrived, a new rule for the annual talent show was announced: each performance must be a group work involving at least three students from different clubs, themed “One Stage We Create”. The winning work would be given prize money. His music teacher, Mr. Davies, encouraged him to form a team, filling Leo with a mix of unease and excitement. “You have a gift, Leo,” Mr. Davies said gently, “but a gift is meant to be shared. Find classmates from the art or literature club who can connect with your music.” Leo hoped to win, as he wanted to use the prize money to make his beloved school more beautiful.
Mr. Davies’ words stayed in his mind. Leo was not used to face-to-face invitations, as he seldom spoke to classmates outside of class. School posters with “TOGETHER WE CREATE” were constant reminders of the task ahead. Determined to step out of his music world and work with others to win the prize, he decided to post a notice online to find teammates—a choice that made him feel much more at ease.
That night, he took a deep breath and posted on the school website: “Looking for 2 teammates from different clubs for the talent show. I play the violin and wish to combine music with art or literature. Theme: One Stage We Create”. He hesitated for a moment before clicking “send”.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next afternoon, right after his violin practice, he checked the website eagerly.

When the big day came, Leo stood confidently on stage with his teammates.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
The next afternoon, right after his violin practice, he checked the website eagerly. His heart raced as he saw two replies. One was from Lila, an art club member who wanted to paint live on stage, inspired by music. The other was from Tom, a literature club student who wrote poems about the school’s hidden corners. Both mentioned wanting to use the prize to add more green spaces to the campus, just like Leo. They met in the music room that evening, and as Leo played a soft melody, Lila sketched a draft of a sunlit school garden while Tom read a poem about growth and connection. For the first time, Leo felt part of something bigger than his violin.
When the big day came, Leo stood confidently on stage with his teammates. As his violin strings began to hum, Lila’s brush danced across a large canvas, painting the school’s courtyard blooming with flowers. Tom’s voice rose, reciting his poem about how every student’s small light makes the school warm. The audience was spellbound; when the last note faded, cheers filled the hall. They won first place, and later, their prize money turned the courtyard into a lush garden with benches and a small poetry wall. Leo smiled as he watched classmates laugh among the flowers, knowing he’d not only beautified his school but also found kindred spirits.
