As cities grow faster and faster, green areas in neighborhoods are gradually reducing, and environmental awareness among residents (居民) needs to be further improved. To strengthen people engagement in environmental protection and to develop a sense of shared responsibility for green spaces, we are recruiting (招募) volunteers to join our Green Guardian program. What You’ll Do Guide residents to take part in maintaining (保养) community gardens, such as planting and watering. Organize and help with environmental education activities, like eco-knowledge lectures and waste-sorting workshops. Give out promotional materials to help residents learn about pollution reduction. Keep community green spaces and activity places clean and orderly. Who We Need We are looking for friendly and responsible people who care about the environment and enjoy working with people. Basic communication skills and a willingness to work with team members are necessary. No professional environmental knowledge is required—we will provide systematic training to help you master the necessary skills. A positive attitude and great interest in helping others are more important!

To support your participation, we offer the following benefits: free training materials and protective equipment (such as gloves and gardening tools). Besides, we pay 70% of the first $80 and 10% of any additional costs, so you don’t need to spend too much money.

It was 3 am, and we knew we were lost. My son John sat in the back, quiet and scared. His hands held tightly onto the seat. My husband, Karl, yawned (打哈欠), very tired from driving. Every time we took a wrong turn, my heart beat fast. At a truck stop, a woman working there just shook her head when I asked how to get to Merridale. Then I saw four people in black leather jackets. Their clothes had pictures of skulls, and metal chains hung from their belts. I thought, “What if they are bad?” My hands started to sweat, and I wanted to run back to our van. “Don’t worry,” one man said. He had a big beard and a kind smile. “We will show you the way.” I wasn’t sure if I could trust them. John whispered, “Mom, they look terrifying.” But Karl said, “We need help.” So, we followed their motorcycles reluctantly. The road got even darker, and the trees looked like big, dark shapes. I told Karl, “If they stop, we will drive very fast.” But after about an hour, they pointed to a sign. It said: “Merridale Road.” I could not believe it! As they drove away, one man shouted, “Good Trip!” Months later, I saw them on TV. Everyone around them looked afraid, but I smiled. Those “terrifying” bikers were kind. That night, I learned an important lesson: Never judge people by how they look. True kindness often appears in the most unexpected forms, reminding us to always look beyond appearances and open our hearts to understanding. 4. Why did the family stop at a truck stop? A. To buy food. B. To ask for directions. C. To take a rest. D. To meet friends. 5. What does the underlined word “reluctantly” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Happily. B. Quickly. C. Unwillingly. D. Bravely. 6. What is the author’s attitude towards the bikers in the end? A. Thankful and understanding. B. Afraid and doubtful. C. Angry and confused. D. Uninterested and uncaring. 7. Which would be the best title for this text? A. How to Find the Way at Night B. Getting Lost in the Dark C. Kindness in Unexpected Forms D. Dangerous Bikers on the Road 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章叙述了作者和家人在深夜迷路后，遇到一群外表看起来有些吓人的摩托车手，并最终得到他们帮助找到目的地的经历。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“It was 3 am, and we knew we were lost.(当时是凌晨3点，我们知道我们迷路了。)”以及文章第二段“At a truck stop, a woman working there just shook her head when I asked how to get to Merridale.(在一个卡车停靠站，当我问怎么去Merridale时，一个在那里工作的女人只是摇了摇头。)”可知，这家人停在卡车站是为了问路。故选B项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词reluctantly前文的描述““Don’t worry,” one man said. He had a big beard and a kind smile. “We will show you the way.” I wasn’t sure if I could trust them. John whispered, “Mom, they look terrifying.” But Karl said, “We need help.”(“别担心，”一个人说。他留着大胡子，面带和蔼的微笑。“我们会给你带路的。”我不确定我是否能信任他们。John低声说：“妈妈，他们看起来很可怕。”但Karl说：“我们需要帮助。”)”可知，有人愿意给作者一家带路，但是作者不知道能不能信任他们，儿子甚至有点害怕，可是他们真的需要帮助，故可推知此处划线词reluctantly与C项“Unwillingly(不乐意地，不情愿地)”意思相近，即“因此我们不情愿地跟着他们的摩托车”。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Those “terrifying” bikers were kind. That night, I learned an important lesson: Never judge people by how they look. True kindness often appears in the most unexpected forms, reminding us to always look beyond appearances and open our hearts to understanding.(那些“可怕的”骑摩托车的人很善良。那天晚上，我学到了重要的一课：永远不要以貌取人。真正的善良常常以最意想不到的形式出现，提醒我们要超越表象，敞开心扉去理解。)”可知，作者认识到“不要以貌取人”，即使那些骑摩托车的人看起来很可怕，但却给作者提供了最需要的帮助，因此表达了对他们的感激和理解。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“True kindness often appears in the most unexpected forms, reminding us to always look beyond appearances and open our hearts to understanding.(真正的善良常常以最意想不到的形式出现，提醒我们要超越表象，敞开心扉去理解。)”并通读全文可知，作者通过一次迷路经历，传达了“真正的善意常以意想不到的形式出现”的主题，所以C项“Kindness in Unexpected Forms(意想不到的善意)”适合文章标题，能概括全文。故选C项。 C Blues (布鲁斯音乐) has been rated as the most popular music, in a study carried out by the University of York — a research project that aimed to address a common frustration in daily communication: the stress and impatience people often feel when waiting on the phone. Researchers watched 2,540 people in a fake phone line so they could see how different sounds make callers feel. Each listener was exposed to one of ten audio experiences, with blues coming out on top ahead of heavy metal, country and pop. Music psychologist Dr Mimi O’Neill said the findings showed that different audio experiences could even influence how long people felt they had been on the phone. “The blues is featured by gentle feelings so you sink into it and in the enjoyment of the experience,” she said. “Metal is fast and can make you more stressed.” The team checked heart rate, mood and alertness to see what calms or worries people. Dr O’Neill said the quality of the music was also key. “We’re really familiar with that broken, compressed (压缩的) music sound when we’re on hold, and if you have something that’s a bit better than that, it’s going to improve the experience.” She also said that instead of playing songs, they tried short quiz questions and general knowledge, and people liked that best. “But there is a small problem: If you do not wait long enough and you miss the answer, it can make you feel more upset,” she added. 8. Why did the University of York do the music research? A. To advertise blues in phone services. B. To compare music’s psychological effects. C. To solve people’s annoyance while on hold. D. To prove high-quality music is more popular. 9. What makes blues stand out as hold music? A. Fast pace keeping callers alert. B. Soft feature helping callers enjoy waiting. C. Popularity in real phone services worldwide. D. Ability to make callers forget why they call. 10. What might upset callers about the quiz? A. Missing the answer． B. Too much noise. C. Slow music． D. Long questions. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. How to write blues songs. B. The history of hold music. C. Why people hate phone queues. D. A study on the sound for waiting on the phone. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。约克大学开展电话等待声音研究，发现布鲁斯音乐最受欢迎，优质音乐能改善等待体验，小测验虽受喜爱但错过答案易让人烦躁。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Blues (布鲁斯音乐) has been rated as the most popular music, in a study carried out by the University of York — a research project that aimed to address a common frustration in daily communication: the stress and impatience people often feel when waiting on the phone.(约克大学开展的一项研究将布鲁斯音乐评为最受欢迎的音乐形式，该研究项目旨在解决日常交流中一个普遍的困扰：人们在电话等待时常会产生的焦虑与烦躁情绪。)”可知，约克大学开展这项音乐研究是为了解决人们电话等待时的烦躁情绪。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The blues is featured by gentle feelings so you sink into it and in the enjoyment of the experience,(布鲁斯音乐的特点是舒缓的情绪，让你沉浸其中，享受这段时光。)”可知，布鲁斯音乐作为等待音乐脱颖而出的原因是其舒缓的特质能让来电者享受等待过程。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But there is a small problem: If you do not wait long enough and you miss the answer, it can make you feel more upset,(但有一个小问题：如果你等待的时间不够长，错过了答案，这会让你感到更心烦。)”可知，错过测验的答案可能会让来电者感到心烦。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容特别是第一段“Blues (布鲁斯音乐) has been rated as the most popular music, in a study carried out by the University of York — a research project that aimed to address a common frustration in daily communication: the stress and impatience people often feel when waiting on the phone.(约克大学开展的一项研究将布鲁斯音乐评为最受欢迎的音乐形式，该研究项目旨在解决日常交流中一个普遍的困扰：人们在电话等待时常会产生的焦虑与烦躁情绪。)”可知，第一段介绍约克大学开展研究的目的，第二段说明研究过程和布鲁斯音乐的优势，第三段补充研究中关于测验和音乐质量的发现，核心均围绕电话等待时的声音体验研究展开。故选D项。 D Covering a total area of about 38,000 square meters, Jinsha Site Museum is an unusual site museum in China because of its mix of modern civilization and the civilization of ancient Shu State, as well as the combination of natural environment and culture.

Eating together is one of the most basic ways we connect as humans. (即使你不喜欢做饭，在家吃饭也有很多好处，尤其是一起吃饭的时候。一起吃饭是人类建立联结最基本的方式之一。)”可知，本段核心讲述烹饪和一起用餐对社交联结的作用，C选项“Cooking and eating together strengthens social connections (一起做饭和吃饭能增进社交联结)”能精准概括本段主题，适合作主题句。故选C项。 【20题详解】 根据前文“Imagine laughter around a shared dish and stories passed across the table.

Just as he was about to be offline, he saw a name he’d never seen before, Susan. Her brief message was, “Would someone help me?” Sean typed back, “What’s wrong?” A moment later he received this message, “I can’t breathe. Help me! I can’t get out of my chair.” Oh, man, Sean thought. Pretending to be paralyzed (瘫痪) was a bad joke. Then he wondered what if she really was sick? “Hey, Mom,” he called. “There’s a kid here who’s sick or something.” His mom, Sharon, looked at the computer screen. “It’s not just some game, is it?” she asked. The message was not a joke. Susan was actually a 20-year-old student, working late at night at a college library near Helsinki, Finland — almost 7,000 miles away from Sean’s home in Texas. While searching the Internet, she began to feel terrible pain all through her body. The library was silent and empty. The nearest phone was outside in the hallway. She couldn’t move that far. Any movement caused the pain to get worse. Then she realized she might get help on the Internet. “I don’t think it’s a joke, Mom,” Sean said. And he typed, “Where are you?” After a long while, the letters appeared, “Finland.” Sean and Sharon couldn’t believe it. Not knowing what else to do, Sharon called the local police. Sharon explained the situation to the officer, Amy Schmidt. Schmidt told Sharon to try to get the sick girl’s phone number. Texas police called the international telephone operator and asked to be connected to the proper agency in Finland. The call was put through to a nearby rescue station. The Texas police gave Susan’s address to the Finnish operator. When Sean heard that, he typed, “Help is on the way.” In a few minutes, Susan heard people running down the hallway outside the door. Suddenly, the door opened. Emergency workers and three policemen ran in. Susan turned once more to the computer, and typed, “They are here. Thanks a lot.” 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。 Sean shot up from his chair when he heard the news, arms waving as he yelled. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weeks later, Susan sent Sean an email with a photo of her in the hospital garden. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Sean shot up from his chair when he heard the news, arms waving as he yelled. “Yes! We did it! Mom, she’s safe!” He hugged his mother tightly, his eyes shining with excitement and relief. Sharon patted his back, a wide smile spreading across her face. She was so proud of her son for trusting his instincts and not ignoring the cry for help. Even though they were thousands of miles apart and had never met, Sean’s quick thinking had bridged the distance and saved a life. The weight that had been hanging over them suddenly lifted, replaced by a profound sense of joy. Weeks later, Susan sent Sean an email with a photo of her in the hospital garden. She explained in her letter that she had been suffering from a rare reaction, but thanks to the timely rescue, she had fully recovered. “You were my guardian angel,” she wrote, “I will never forget the kindness of a stranger.” Touched by her words, Sean realized that the internet wasn’t just for games; it was a powerful tool that could connect hearts and change lives. This experience became a cherished memory, reminding him of the magic of human connection. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了本文讲述了12岁的男孩Sean在上网时收到来自芬兰的求救信息。起初他以为是恶作剧，但最终选择相信并在母亲帮助下报警。通过国际警方的协作，远在芬兰图书馆瘫痪的Susan成功获救。事后Susan康复并向Sean致谢，Sean也深刻体会到了互联网连接心灵、拯救生命的力量。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当Sean听到这个消息时，他猛地从椅子上站了起来，双手挥舞着大声喊叫”可知，第一段可描写通过国际警方的协作，远在芬兰图书馆瘫痪的Susan成功获救。 ②由第二段首句内容“几周之后，Susan给Sean发了一封电子邮件，并附上了她在医院花园里的一张照片”可知，第二段可描写事后Susan康复并向Sean致谢，Sean也深刻体会到了互联网连接心灵、拯救生命的力量。 2.续写线索：Susan获救——母亲为儿子骄傲——Susan给感谢信——Sean感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①拥抱：hug/embrace ②遇到：meet/encounter ③康复：recover/pull through 情绪类 ①快乐：joy/delight ②感动：touched/moved 【点睛】[高分句型1] Even though they were thousands of miles apart and had never met, Sean’s quick thinking had bridged the distance and saved a life.

B The van’s (面包车的) lights cut through the deep darkness of the Massachusetts roads. It was 3 am, and we knew we were lost. My son John sat in the back, quiet and scared. His hands held tightly onto the seat. My husband, Karl, yawned (打哈欠), very tired from driving. Every time we took a wrong turn, my heart beat fast. At a truck stop, a woman working there just shook her head when I asked how to get to Merridale. Then I saw four people in black leather jackets. Their clothes had pictures of skulls, and metal chains hung from their belts. I thought, “What if they are bad?” My hands started to sweat, and I wanted to run back to our van. “Don’t worry,” one man said. He had a big beard and a kind smile. “We will show you the way.” I wasn’t sure if I could trust them. John whispered, “Mom, they look terrifying.” But Karl said, “We need help.” So, we followed their motorcycles reluctantly. The road got even darker, and the trees looked like big, dark shapes. I told Karl, “If they stop, we will drive very fast.” But after about an hour, they pointed to a sign. It said: “Merridale Road.” I could not believe it! As they drove away, one man shouted, “Good Trip!” Months later, I saw them on TV. Everyone around them looked afraid, but I smiled. Those “terrifying” bikers were kind. That night, I learned an important lesson: Never judge people by how they look. True kindness often appears in the most unexpected forms, reminding us to always look beyond appearances and open our hearts to understanding. 4. Why did the family stop at a truck stop? A. To buy food. B. To ask for directions. C. To take a rest. D. To meet friends. 5. What does the underlined word “reluctantly” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Happily. B. Quickly. C. Unwillingly. D.

Which would be the best title for this text? A. How to Find the Way at Night B. Getting Lost in the Dark C. Kindness in Unexpected Forms D. Dangerous Bikers on the Road C Blues (布鲁斯音乐) has been rated as the most popular music, in a study carried out by the University of York — a research project that aimed to address a common frustration in daily communication: the stress and impatience people often feel when waiting on the phone. Researchers watched 2,540 people in a fake phone line so they could see how different sounds make callers feel. Each listener was exposed to one of ten audio experiences, with blues coming out on top ahead of heavy metal, country and pop. Music psychologist Dr Mimi O’Neill said the findings showed that different audio experiences could even influence how long people felt they had been on the phone. “The blues is featured by gentle feelings so you sink into it and in the enjoyment of the experience,” she said. “Metal is fast and can make you more stressed.” The team checked heart rate, mood and alertness to see what calms or worries people. Dr O’Neill said the quality of the music was also key. “We’re really familiar with that broken, compressed (压缩的) music sound when we’re on hold, and if you have something that’s a bit better than that, it’s going to improve the experience.” She also said that instead of playing songs, they tried short quiz questions and general knowledge, and people liked that best. “But there is a small problem: If you do not wait long enough and you miss the answer, it can make you feel more upset,” she added. 8. Why did the University of York do the music research? A. To advertise blues in phone services. B. To compare music’s psychological effects. C. To solve people’s annoyance while on hold. D. To prove high-quality music is more popular. 9. What makes blues stand out as hold music? A. Fast pace keeping callers alert. B. Soft feature helping callers enjoy waiting. C. Popularity in real phone services worldwide. D. Ability to make callers forget why they call. 10. What might upset callers about the quiz? A. Missing the answer． B. Too much noise. C. Slow music． D. Long questions. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. How to write blues songs. B. The history of hold music. C. Why people hate phone queues. D. A study on the sound for waiting on the phone. D Covering a total area of about 38,000 square meters, Jinsha Site Museum is an unusual site museum in China because of its mix of modern civilization and the civilization of ancient Shu State, as well as the combination of natural environment and culture. Jinsha Site Museum is built to protect, study and show the archaeological finds of Jinsha Site, which was discovered by archaeologists in February 2001. Jinsha Site is one of the sites that have been found the most gold articles (物品) compared with others in the same period in China. More than 200 pieces of gold articles have been found. Most of the gold items are attachments of other objects as symbols of nobility (尊贵). These gold items show the great technology and exceptional artistic imagination as well as rich ancient history information. Additionally, Jinsha Site unearthed the most jade (玉石) among all its kind of its age. More than 2,000 pieces of jade of various kinds are found. And Jinsha Site has another important feature: namely its lifelike stone statues (雕像), mainly using red, black, white and many smart techniques, lively human or animal images with flowing lines.

Just as he was about to be offline, he saw a name he’d never seen before, Susan. Her brief message was, “Would someone help me?” Sean typed back, “What’s wrong?” A moment later he received this message, “I can’t breathe. Help me! I can’t get out of my chair.” Oh, man, Sean thought. Pretending to be paralyzed (瘫痪) was a bad joke. Then he wondered what if she really was sick? “Hey, Mom,” he called. “There’s a kid here who’s sick or something.” His mom, Sharon, looked at the computer screen. “It’s not just some game, is it?” she asked. The message was not a joke. Susan was actually a 20-year-old student, working late at night at a college library near Helsinki, Finland — almost 7,000 miles away from Sean’s home in Texas. While searching the Internet, she began to feel terrible pain all through her body. The library was silent and empty. The nearest phone was outside in the hallway. She couldn’t move that far. Any movement caused the pain to get worse. Then she realized she might get help on the Internet. “I don’t think it’s a joke, Mom,” Sean said. And he typed, “Where are you?” After a long while, the letters appeared, “Finland.” Sean and Sharon couldn’t believe it. Not knowing what else to do, Sharon called the local police. Sharon explained the situation to the officer, Amy Schmidt. Schmidt told Sharon to try to get the sick girl’s phone number. Texas police called the international telephone operator and asked to be connected to the proper agency in Finland. The call was put through to a nearby rescue station. The Texas police gave Susan’s address to the Finnish operator. When Sean heard that, he typed, “Help is on the way.” In a few minutes, Susan heard people running down the hallway outside the door. Suddenly, the door opened. Emergency workers and three policemen ran in. Susan turned once more to the computer, and typed, “They are here. Thanks a lot.” 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。 Sean shot up from his chair when he heard the news, arms waving as he yelled. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weeks later, Susan sent Sean an email with a photo of her in the hospital garden. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
