About 15 years ago, a humble idea for a historical fiction series erupted into a worldwide literary phenomenon, now known as the I Survived series. Every novel transports readers into the middle of true, real-life catastrophes. Whether it is a shocking weather event or a widespread plague (瘟疫), each story illustrates how a kid rises to the occasion.
In 2010, Lauren Tarshis released her first book. She never could have imagined that over the next 15 years, the series would become a bestseller, printing over 20 million copies to date. Tarshis has published 25 novels in the series and her newest release came out last October.
Tarshis visited the Blue Willow Bookshop’s Tweens Read Book Festival at Dobie High School in Houston and spoke about her recent novel, in which a boy named Ray fights the dangers of the Dust Bowl in the Panhandle of Texas. “A lot of kids have suggested this topic and asked for a story about the Great Depression. So this is sort of two books in one. My research for the new novel was exciting because I visited places I had never been to. It’s been a great experience,” she said.
The idea for the series originated in her family. Tarshis, a mother of four, noticed her son Dylan was having a hard time finding books he enjoyed. “Dylan said to me, ‘I want to read a book about a cool topic with a main character that’s a kid like me.’ That was really a big inspiration. I saw that when there was a topic featuring a real kid at its heart, those were the stories that kids really liked to read,” she said.
Although each book in the series may be a page-turner, the messages and themes are long-lasting and impactful. “I want kids to learn about the world and places they didn’t know about but now feel connected to. I want them to see that people go through really hard things, and it’s not just about surviving. It’s about healing, finding help, and being patient about recovering from something scary.”
4. What is a key feature of the I Survived series?
A. Each story is set during the 20th century.
B. Each story is about a child in a real disaster.
C. Each story pictures a child’s real school life.
D. Each story presents historical events in detail.
5. What can be inferred from paragraph 3 and paragraph 4 about Tarshis’s writing?
A. It avoids hardship and emotional depths.
B. It centers on entertainment over education.
C. It’s mainly based on personal experiences.
D. It’s reader-focused with meaningful themes.
6. What does the underlined word “page-turner” mean?
A. A book that is hard to read.
B. A book that tells true stories.
C. A book that keeps readers engaged.
D. A book that changes readers’ habits.
7. What message is mainly conveyed through Tarshis’s novels?
A. History is full of unexpected events.
B. Survival depends on luck and external help.
C. Reading is the best way to understand the past.
D. True courage involves enduring and overcoming hardship.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了《我幸存了》系列历史小说的创作背景、作者Lauren Tarshis以及该系列如何通过以孩子为主角、重现真实灾难事件,来吸引读者并传递关于“生存与治愈”的深层主题。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第一段“Every novel transports readers into the middle of true, real-life catastrophes. Whether it is a shocking weather event or a widespread plague, each story illustrates how a kid rises to the occasion. (每一本小说都将读者带入真实的生活灾难之中。无论是令人震惊的天气事件还是大范围的瘟疫,每个故事都展示了一个孩子是如何奋起应对的。)” 可知,该系列的核心特征是每个故事都关于处于真实灾难中的孩子,故选B。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文第三段““A lot of kids have suggested this topic and asked for a story about the Great Depression. So this is sort of two books in one. My research for the new novel was exciting because I visited places I had never been to. It’s been a great experience,” she said.(她说:“很多孩子都提议过这个主题,还希望我写一个关于大萧条的故事。所以这本书有点像两本书合二为一。我为这部新小说做的研究很令人兴奋,因为我去了很多从未去过的地方。这是一段很棒的经历。”)”以及第四段“I saw that when there was a topic featuring a real kid at its heart, those were the stories that kids really liked to read (我发现,当一个故事的核心是关于一个真实的孩子时,那些是孩子们真的喜欢读的故事)” 可知,Tarshis的创作以读者需求为中心,且主题具有深刻意义,故选D。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据原文第五段“Although each book in the series may be a page-turner, the messages and themes are long-lasting and impactful. (虽然该系列的每本书都可能是一本page-turner,但它们传达的信息和主题却持久而有影响力。)”可知,前后构成转折让步关系,说明这本书不只是“好看过瘾”而已,它还有更深刻、更长久的价值。 可知,“page-turner”指的是能让读者爱不释手、保持阅读兴趣的书,即让读者投入的书,故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文第五段““I want kids to learn about the world and places they didn’t know about but now feel connected to. I want them to see that people go through really hard things, and it’s not just about surviving. It’s about healing, finding help, and being patient about recovering from something scary.” (“我希望孩子们去了解这个世界,了解那些他们从前并不知晓、如今却感到心生联结的地方。我希望他们明白,人们会经历非常艰难的时刻,而这不仅仅是活下去那么简单。更重要的是疗愈、寻求帮助,以及耐心地从可怕的经历中慢慢恢复。”)” 可知,Tarshis的小说主要传达的信息是真正的勇气在于承受并战胜苦难。故选D。
C
The world’s appetite for seafood is growing, and the industry is racing to keep up. As a result, mariculture — farming seafood in the ocean — is expanding rapidly. A new study, published in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution, suggests that mariculture could be expanded to feed more people while reducing harm to marine biodiversity.
The study was led by Deqiang Ma, a scholar at the University of Michigan. “We can achieve this sustainable mariculture development with strategic planning,” said Ma.
Ma and an international team of researchers developed a model to analyze what mariculture growth could bring to over 20,000 marine species. The team’s model created a baseline for mariculture’s current impact and simulated how it could change by 2050 under different scenarios. The researchers also factored in two climate change models, which assumed varying levels of warming and greenhouse gas emissions.
In the best-case situation, seafood production could increase by 2.36-fold compared to current production, while the global mariculture impact would decrease by up to 30.5%. However, the worst-case scenario painted a completely different picture. If new farms were built in the most ecologically sensitive areas, the damage to marine biodiversity could be more than four times worse than the damage that would happen if farms were placed randomly.
“Our study shows it’s essential to use the growing insights across disciplines, whether it’s climate change science or economics or marine production,” said senior study author Neil Carter, an associate professor at the University of Michigan. “All these different parts have to come together from other sources to make these forecasts.”
One key takeaway is that there’s no universal solution. What works in the South Pacific may not be ideal for coastal Europe. Additionally, in all scenarios examined, mariculture expansion could negatively impact some marine mammals like whales, seals, and sea lions. Understanding these trade-offs is essential for policymakers who must balance food security with conservation goals.
8. What is the purpose of the new study?
A. To develop technologies for modern mariculture.
B. To reduce seafood prices by developing mariculture.
C. To balance seafood demand with marine conservation.
D. To promote mariculture as an alternative to marine fishing.
9. What mainly determines mariculture’s impact according to the study?
A. The location of the farming.
B. The speed of climate change.
C. The type of seafood being farmed.
D. The size of the global seafood market.
10. What does Carter emphasize in paragraph 5?
A. Reducing seafood demand worldwide. B. Using knowledge from multiple fields.
C. Expanding mariculture into all oceans. D. Prioritizing the protection of marine animals.
11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Climate change plays a vital role in mariculture.
B. Seafood farming can sometimes benefit biodiversity.
C. Mariculture’s impacts can be eliminated with technology.
D. There isn’t a single global way to expand seafood farming.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项发表在学术期刊上的新研究,该研究通过模型分析海水养殖的扩张方案,探讨如何在满足全球海鲜需求增长的同时,减少对海洋生物多样性的伤害,并指出海水养殖需因地制宜、综合多学科知识进行科学规划。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第一段“A new study, published in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution, suggests that mariculture could be expanded to feed more people while reducing harm to marine biodiversity. (一项发表在《自然・生态与进化》期刊上的新研究表明,可以扩大海水养殖规模以养活更多人口,同时减少对海洋生物多样性的危害。)” 可知,这项研究的目的是平衡海鲜需求与海洋保护,故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第四段“If new farms were built in the most ecologically sensitive areas, the damage to marine biodiversity could be more than four times worse than the damage that would happen if farms were placed randomly. (如果新养殖场建在生态最敏感的地区,对海洋生物多样性的破坏可能会比随意选址养殖场的破坏严重四倍以上。)” 可知,养殖场的选址是决定海水养殖影响大小的主要因素,故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文第五段““Our study shows it’s essential to use the growing insights across disciplines, whether it’s climate change science or economics or marine production,” said senior study author Neil Carter, an associate professor at the University of Michigan. (该研究的资深作者、密歇根大学副教授Neil Carter表示:“我们的研究表明,充分利用跨学科领域不断积累的深刻见解至关重要,无论是气候变化科学、经济学,还是海洋生产研究。”)” 可知,Carter强调的是运用多个领域的知识,故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文最后一段“One key takeaway is that there’s no universal solution.(一个关键结论是,没有放之四海而皆准的解决方案。)” 可知,并不存在一种全球通用的海水养殖扩张方式,故选D。
D
Character traits lead us to think, feel, and act in certain ways. When seeing children or animals suffering, a cold-hearted person might think they deserve what they’re getting and neglect their situation day after day. A compassionate person, however, might feel motivated to take action and provide support.
Some character traits have to do with being a morally good or bad person, while others do not. Clearly, honesty contributes to being a good person, while creativity could be used in either a good or bad way. The morally relevant traits come in two varieties — the moral virtues like honesty and the moral vices like dishonesty. The moral virtues are positive qualities we should develop.
However, being a virtuous person is more complicated than it seems. For example, consider Samantha, who holds a high-level position at work. As she was leaving the office last night, she had a chance to take home some office supplies for personal use, but she did not. Is that enough for us to conclude she’s honest? The answer is no, for we don’t know whether she takes home supplies on other nights.
So let’s change the example. Suppose she never takes home any office supplies, and does that do the trick? The answer is again no, for we don’t know whether she’s dishonest in other areas of her work life. She might misreport the company’s taxes to the government.
Now suppose that Samantha never steals supplies from the company, never falsifies (篡改) the company’s tax reporting, and consistently avoids such misconduct. How does that sound? It’s still not good enough. A virtue like honesty should extend to all areas of one’s life — home, work, school, and all the rest.
Anyhow, being a good person is never simple. The truth, however, is that character is malleable. Through everyday choices, we can gradually shape who we are. Each step toward honesty, kindness, and courage matters. Every time we choose integrity over deceit, compassion over indifference, and generosity over selfishness, we refine our character. It is this ongoing pursuit that gives depth and meaning to a life.
12. What does the contrast in paragraph 1 show?
A. Inborn traits define our capacity for virtues.
B. Personality shapes how one responds to situations.
C. Most people tend to offer support to those in need.
D. Moral judgment influences our reactions to suffering.
13. Why does the author give several versions of Samantha’s story?
A. To prove small actions determine honesty.
B. To explain virtues require broad consistency.
C. To show virtues bring professional reputation.
D. To reveal virtues affect one’s decision-making.
14. What is the author’s attitude towards developing character?
A. Skeptical. B. Unconcerned. C. Hopeful. D. Cautious.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. How to Develop Moral Virtues B. Samantha: A Model of Honesty?
C. Character Traits: Born or Made? D. The Complexity of Being Virtuous
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。主要介绍了性格特质会影响人的思考与行为方式,拥有道德美德并非简单的单一行为,而是需要在生活各方面保持一致,同时指出性格是可以塑造的,通过日常选择能不断完善自身品德。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文第一段“Character traits lead us to think, feel, and act in certain ways. (性格特质会引导我们以特定的方式思考、感受和行动。)”及“When seeing children or animals suffering, a cold-hearted person might think they deserve what they’re getting and neglect their situation day after day. A compassionate person, however, might feel motivated to take action and provide support. (看到孩子或动物受苦时,冷酷无情的人可能会觉得他们罪有应得,日复一日地对他们的处境视而不见。而富有同情心的人,则可能会心生触动、主动采取行动,为他们提供帮助与支持。)” 可知,第一段中的对比表明性格会塑造一个人对不同情况的反应方式,故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文第三段“For example, consider Samantha, who holds a high-level position at work. As she was leaving the office last night, she had a chance to take home some office supplies for personal use, but she did not. Is that enough for us to conclude she’s honest? The answer is no, for we don’t know whether she takes home supplies on other nights.(例如,以在公司担任高层职位的Samantha为例。昨晚她下班时,本有机会把一些办公用品带回家私用,但她没有这么做。这是否足以让我们断定她为人诚实?答案是否定的,因为我们不知道她在其他晚上是否会把办公用品带回家。)”及第四段“Suppose she never takes home any office supplies, and does that do the trick? The answer is again no, for we don’t know whether she’s dishonest in other areas of her work life. She might misreport the company’s taxes to the government.(假设她从不把任何办公用品带回家,这就足以说明问题了吗?答案依然是否定的,因为我们不知道她在工作的其他方面是否不诚实。她可能会向政府虚报公司税务。)”和第五段“A virtue like honesty should extend to all areas of one’s life — home, work, school, and all the rest. (像诚实这样的美德应该延伸到一个人生活的方方面面 —— 家庭、工作、学校以及其他所有方面。)” 可知,作者讲述Samantha的几个故事版本是为了说明美德需要广泛的一致性,故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据原文最后一段“Through everyday choices, we can gradually shape who we are. Each step toward honesty, kindness, and courage matters. (通过日常的选择,我们可以逐渐塑造自己。迈向诚实、善良和勇敢的每一步都很重要。)” 可知,作者对于性格培养的态度是充满希望的,故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据原文第三段“However, being a virtuous person is more complicated than it seems.(然而,成为一个有美德的人比看起来要复杂得多。)” 以及第五段“A virtue like honesty should extend to all areas of one’s life — home, work, school, and all the rest. (像诚实这样的美德应该延伸到一个人生活的方方面面 —— 家庭、工作、学校以及其他所有方面。)” 及最后一段“Anyhow, being a good person is never simple. (总之,做一个好人从来都不是一件容易的事。)”并结合全文内容可知,文章主要论述了拥有道德美德并非简单的单一行为,即拥有美德的复杂性。因此D项“拥有美德的复杂性”能概括本文主要内容,适合作标题。故选D。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Between soccer practices, music lessons and school projects, many families find themselves questioning whether there’s time or even a need for their children to do chores at home. But according to Elizabeth Harris, a child and adolescent psychologist, asking kids to pitch in around the house can have powerful lifelong benefits.
Chores are not just about keeping a house clean. ____16____ One thing that often surprises parents is how chores build empathy. When kids understand what it takes to maintain a home, they become more aware of and grateful for what others do for them. That kind of perspective can be a game-changer in emotional development.
____17____ During the school year, kids thrive on routine. But during vacations, that structure often disappears. Adding a few regular responsibilities, especially ones the child helps choose, can provide much-needed rhythm and stability.
Assigning regular household duties can also enhance children’s cognitive development. ____18____ They develop stronger working memory, better emotional regulation and more mental flexibility. These are foundational skills not just for success in school, but in life.
So when should a kid start? As early as preschool. Younger children love to feel capable. Simple tasks like cleaning up toys or wiping and setting the table foster autonomy. ____19____ They include maintaining their room, helping cook meals and managing pet care. Harris encourages parents to frame these not as punishments, but as opportunities to grow. ____20____ But when there’s room, lean into those opportunities. Kids don’t need to do everything, but they should do something. Giving children and teens consistent, age-appropriate chores is one of the simplest and most effective ways to help them grow into responsible, capable adults.
A. The benefits go even deeper.
B. Chores also reinforce structure.
C. When life gets busy, it’s okay to pull back.
D. These are skills that serve them well, far into adulthood.
E. Kids who have chores are typically better self-managers.
F. For older children and teens, tasks can become more complex.
G. Children who have age-appropriate chores develop stronger relationships.

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。
A Long Way Back
Growing up as an only child, Daniel Harper often wished he had someone to share his quiet afternoons with. His parents both worked long hours, and the house felt especially silent after school. Everything changed on his eleventh birthday when his aunt arrived with a small cardboard box. Inside it was a lively brown puppy with bright eyes and a constantly wagging tail. Daniel named the puppy Rusty.
From that day on, Rusty became Daniel’s constant companion. Every afternoon, Rusty waited by the door for Daniel to return from school. The moment Daniel stepped inside, Rusty would jump up excitedly, circling him and barking happily.
They spent hours in the backyard playing fetch or simply lying on the grass together. Whenever Daniel felt upset about school or friends, Rusty seemed to understand. The dog would quietly sit beside him, resting his head on Daniel’s knee. To Daniel, Rusty was more than a pet — he was family.
But when Daniel was fifteen, things suddenly changed. His mother was offered a job in another city, and the family had to move into a small apartment that did not allow pets. For weeks, Daniel tried to persuade his parents to keep Rusty, but the rules were strict. In the end, the family made the painful decision to leave Rusty at a local animal rescue center, hoping someone kind would adopt him.
Daniel still remembered the day clearly. Rusty kept wagging his tail, thinking it was just another trip outside. Daniel hugged him tightly before leaving, promising in a whisper that he would never forget him. Rusty had been given a microchip at the vet when he was a puppy, but after that day, Daniel never heard anything about him again.
Years passed. Daniel grew up, finished college, and eventually became a teacher. One weekend, while helping his students with a community service project at a local animal shelter, he noticed an older dog resting quietly in a corner. The dog’s fur was now a little gray, but something about him seemed familiar.
Para. 1 When Daniel walked closer, the dog slowly stood up and stared at him.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para. 2 After thinking for a moment, he asked the staff if the dog had a microchip.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
When Daniel walked closer, the dog slowly stood up and stared at him. His tail gave a weak, familiar wag that sent a jolt through Daniel’s chest. The dog inched forward, sniffing Daniel’s hand, then nuzzled it softly. Daniel’s breath caught. Those eyes, that gentle nudge, were exactly what he remembered. He whispered, “Rusty?” The dog’s tail picked up speed, and he let out a quiet whine, pressing his head against Daniel’s knee. Memories of their afternoons in the backyard and the day they parted flooded back, warm and aching.
After thinking for a moment, he asked the staff if the dog had a microchip. The worker scanned the dog’s neck and confirmed the registered owner’s details: Daniel Harper, the same information his family had left years ago. Tears blurred Daniel’s eyes as he knelt and hugged the old dog tightly. The staff helped him complete the adoption papers quickly. Without hesitation, he decided to take Rusty home on the spot. After all these years, his childhood companion had found his way back home, and they would never be apart again.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物与宠物的情感为线索展开,讲述了作者Daniel Harper童年时与小狗Rusty相依相伴,后因搬家无奈将其送至动物救助中心,多年后Daniel成为教师,在参与社区服务项目时,意外与Rusty重逢的故事,展现了跨越时光的陪伴与温情。

②由第二段首句内容“他思索片刻后,向工作人员询问这只狗是否植入了微芯片。”可知,第二段可描写Daniel通过微芯片确认狗狗身份,顺利完成领养,最终与Rusty重逢并决定相伴余生的情节。
2. 续写线索:靠近狗狗—— 认出熟悉特征—— 唤起回忆—— 确认微芯片信息—— 办理领养手续—— 决定相伴一生

About 15 years ago, a humble idea for a historical fiction series erupted into a worldwide literary phenomenon, now known as the I Survived series. Every novel transports readers into the middle of true, real-life catastrophes. Whether it is a shocking weather event or a widespread plague (瘟疫), each story illustrates how a kid rises to the occasion.
In 2010, Lauren Tarshis released her first book. She never could have imagined that over the next 15 years, the series would become a bestseller, printing over 20 million copies to date. Tarshis has published 25 novels in the series and her newest release came out last October.
Tarshis visited the Blue Willow Bookshop’s Tweens Read Book Festival at Dobie High School in Houston and spoke about her recent novel, in which a boy named Ray fights the dangers of the Dust Bowl in the Panhandle of Texas. “A lot of kids have suggested this topic and asked for a story about the Great Depression. So this is sort of two books in one. My research for the new novel was exciting because I visited places I had never been to. It’s been a great experience,” she said.
The idea for the series originated in her family. Tarshis, a mother of four, noticed her son Dylan was having a hard time finding books he enjoyed. “Dylan said to me, ‘I want to read a book about a cool topic with a main character that’s a kid like me.’ That was really a big inspiration. I saw that when there was a topic featuring a real kid at its heart, those were the stories that kids really liked to read,” she said.
Although each book in the series may be a page-turner, the messages and themes are long-lasting and impactful. “I want kids to learn about the world and places they didn’t know about but now feel connected to. I want them to see that people go through really hard things, and it’s not just about surviving. It’s about healing, finding help, and being patient about recovering from something scary.”
4. What is a key feature of the I Survived series?
A. Each story is set during the 20th century.
B. Each story is about a child in a real disaster.
C. Each story pictures a child’s real school life.
D. Each story presents historical events in detail.
5. What can be inferred from paragraph 3 and paragraph 4 about Tarshis’s writing?
A. It avoids hardship and emotional depths.
B. It centers on entertainment over education.
C. It’s mainly based on personal experiences.
D. It’s reader-focused with meaningful themes.
6. What does the underlined word “page-turner” mean?
A. A book that is hard to read.
B. A book that tells true stories.
C. A book that keeps readers engaged.
D. A book that changes readers’ habits.
7. What message is mainly conveyed through Tarshis’s novels?
A. History is full of unexpected events.
B. Survival depends on luck and external help.
C. Reading is the best way to understand the past.
D. True courage involves enduring and overcoming hardship.

The world’s appetite for seafood is growing, and the industry is racing to keep up. As a result, mariculture — farming seafood in the ocean — is expanding rapidly. A new study, published in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution, suggests that mariculture could be expanded to feed more people while reducing harm to marine biodiversity.
The study was led by Deqiang Ma, a scholar at the University of Michigan. “We can achieve this sustainable mariculture development with strategic planning,” said Ma.
Ma and an international team of researchers developed a model to analyze what mariculture growth could bring to over 20,000 marine species. The team’s model created a baseline for mariculture’s current impact and simulated how it could change by 2050 under different scenarios. The researchers also factored in two climate change models, which assumed varying levels of warming and greenhouse gas emissions.
In the best-case situation, seafood production could increase by 2.36-fold compared to current production, while the global mariculture impact would decrease by up to 30.5%. However, the worst-case scenario painted a completely different picture. If new farms were built in the most ecologically sensitive areas, the damage to marine biodiversity could be more than four times worse than the damage that would happen if farms were placed randomly.
“Our study shows it’s essential to use the growing insights across disciplines, whether it’s climate change science or economics or marine production,” said senior study author Neil Carter, an associate professor at the University of Michigan. “All these different parts have to come together from other sources to make these forecasts.”
One key takeaway is that there’s no universal solution. What works in the South Pacific may not be ideal for coastal Europe. Additionally, in all scenarios examined, mariculture expansion could negatively impact some marine mammals like whales, seals, and sea lions. Understanding these trade-offs is essential for policymakers who must balance food security with conservation goals.
8. What is the purpose of the new study?
A. To develop technologies for modern mariculture.
B. To reduce seafood prices by developing mariculture.
C. To balance seafood demand with marine conservation.
D. To promote mariculture as an alternative to marine fishing.
9. What mainly determines mariculture’s impact according to the study?
A. The location of the farming.
B. The speed of climate change.
C. The type of seafood being farmed.
D. The size of the global seafood market.
10. What does Carter emphasize in paragraph 5?
A. Reducing seafood demand worldwide. B. Using knowledge from multiple fields.
C. Expanding mariculture into all oceans. D. Prioritizing the protection of marine animals.
11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Climate change plays a vital role in mariculture.
B. Seafood farming can sometimes benefit biodiversity.
C. Mariculture’s impacts can be eliminated with technology.
D. There isn’t a single global way to expand seafood farming.
D
Character traits lead us to think, feel, and act in certain ways. When seeing children or animals suffering, a cold-hearted person might think they deserve what they’re getting and neglect their situation day after day. A compassionate person, however, might feel motivated to take action and provide support.
Some character traits have to do with being a morally good or bad person, while others do not. Clearly, honesty contributes to being a good person, while creativity could be used in either a good or bad way. The morally relevant traits come in two varieties — the moral virtues like honesty and the moral vices like dishonesty. The moral virtues are positive qualities we should develop.
However, being a virtuous person is more complicated than it seems. For example, consider Samantha, who holds a high-level position at work. As she was leaving the office last night, she had a chance to take home some office supplies for personal use, but she did not. Is that enough for us to conclude she’s honest? The answer is no, for we don’t know whether she takes home supplies on other nights.
So let’s change the example. Suppose she never takes home any office supplies, and does that do the trick? The answer is again no, for we don’t know whether she’s dishonest in other areas of her work life. She might misreport the company’s taxes to the government.
Now suppose that Samantha never steals supplies from the company, never falsifies (篡改) the company’s tax reporting, and consistently avoids such misconduct. How does that sound? It’s still not good enough. A virtue like honesty should extend to all areas of one’s life — home, work, school, and all the rest.
Anyhow, being a good person is never simple. The truth, however, is that character is malleable. Through everyday choices, we can gradually shape who we are. Each step toward honesty, kindness, and courage matters. Every time we choose integrity over deceit, compassion over indifference, and generosity over selfishness, we refine our character. It is this ongoing pursuit that gives depth and meaning to a life.
12. What does the contrast in paragraph 1 show?
A. Inborn traits define our capacity for virtues.
B. Personality shapes how one responds to situations.
C. Most people tend to offer support to those in need.
D. Moral judgment influences our reactions to suffering.
13. Why does the author give several versions of Samantha’s story?
A. To prove small actions determine honesty.
B. To explain virtues require broad consistency.
C. To show virtues bring professional reputation.
D. To reveal virtues affect one’s decision-making.
14. What is the author’s attitude towards developing character?
A. Skeptical. B. Unconcerned. C. Hopeful. D. Cautious.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. How to Develop Moral Virtues B. Samantha: A Model of Honesty?
C. Character Traits: Born or Made? D. The Complexity of Being Virtuous

Between soccer practices, music lessons and school projects, many families find themselves questioning whether there’s time or even a need for their children to do chores at home. But according to Elizabeth Harris, a child and adolescent psychologist, asking kids to pitch in around the house can have powerful lifelong benefits.
Chores are not just about keeping a house clean. ____16____ One thing that often surprises parents is how chores build empathy. When kids understand what it takes to maintain a home, they become more aware of and grateful for what others do for them. That kind of perspective can be a game-changer in emotional development.
____17____ During the school year, kids thrive on routine. But during vacations, that structure often disappears. Adding a few regular responsibilities, especially ones the child helps choose, can provide much-needed rhythm and stability.
Assigning regular household duties can also enhance children’s cognitive development. ____18____ They develop stronger working memory, better emotional regulation and more mental flexibility. These are foundational skills not just for success in school, but in life.
So when should a kid start? As early as preschool. Younger children love to feel capable. Simple tasks like cleaning up toys or wiping and setting the table foster autonomy. ____19____ They include maintaining their room, helping cook meals and managing pet care. Harris encourages parents to frame these not as punishments, but as opportunities to grow. ____20____ But when there’s room, lean into those opportunities. Kids don’t need to do everything, but they should do something. Giving children and teens consistent, age-appropriate chores is one of the simplest and most effective ways to help them grow into responsible, capable adults.
A. The benefits go even deeper.
B. Chores also reinforce structure.
C. When life gets busy, it’s okay to pull back.
D. These are skills that serve them well, far into adulthood.
E. Kids who have chores are typically better self-managers.
F. For older children and teens, tasks can become more complex.
G. Children who have age-appropriate chores develop stronger relationships.

A Long Way Back
Growing up as an only child, Daniel Harper often wished he had someone to share his quiet afternoons with. His parents both worked long hours, and the house felt especially silent after school. Everything changed on his eleventh birthday when his aunt arrived with a small cardboard box. Inside it was a lively brown puppy with bright eyes and a constantly wagging tail. Daniel named the puppy Rusty.
From that day on, Rusty became Daniel’s constant companion. Every afternoon, Rusty waited by the door for Daniel to return from school. The moment Daniel stepped inside, Rusty would jump up excitedly, circling him and barking happily.
They spent hours in the backyard playing fetch or simply lying on the grass together. Whenever Daniel felt upset about school or friends, Rusty seemed to understand. The dog would quietly sit beside him, resting his head on Daniel’s knee. To Daniel, Rusty was more than a pet — he was family.
But when Daniel was fifteen, things suddenly changed. His mother was offered a job in another city, and the family had to move into a small apartment that did not allow pets. For weeks, Daniel tried to persuade his parents to keep Rusty, but the rules were strict. In the end, the family made the painful decision to leave Rusty at a local animal rescue center, hoping someone kind would adopt him.
Daniel still remembered the day clearly. Rusty kept wagging his tail, thinking it was just another trip outside. Daniel hugged him tightly before leaving, promising in a whisper that he would never forget him. Rusty had been given a microchip at the vet when he was a puppy, but after that day, Daniel never heard anything about him again.
Years passed. Daniel grew up, finished college, and eventually became a teacher. One weekend, while helping his students with a community service project at a local animal shelter, he noticed an older dog resting quietly in a corner. The dog’s fur was now a little gray, but something about him seemed familiar.
Para. 1 When Daniel walked closer, the dog slowly stood up and stared at him.

Para. 2 After thinking for a moment, he asked the staff if the dog had a microchip.
