With thousands of jobs already lost to AI and robots, how do you know your chosen path isn't a dead end? The answer lies in developing skills that machines cannot easily replace.

答案详解
【答案】 21. B 22. C 23. B
【解析】
21. B。细节辨析题。文章明确要求16-17岁参加马拉松需要父母同意,B项正确。A项“必须支付€105”不准确——文章中马拉松报名费是€135;C项“可转为半马并获得退款”与原文“no refund of the entry fee difference”矛盾;D项“无需额外费用参加接力”错误,双项参赛需要分别注册并缴费。
22. C。细节推理题。根据“aid stations with water and sports drink every 5 km, from 15 km onwards”可知,补给站从15公里处开始提供水和运动饮料,因此跑者第一次能获得运动饮料是在15公里处,故选C。A、B项错误,因为15公里之前没有补给站;D项20公里虽也有,但不是第一次。
23. B。文本来源/体裁判断题。文章详细介绍了马拉松赛事的报名信息(费用、年龄要求、注意事项、联系方式),并提供了网站和邮箱,最可能出现在马拉松报名网站上,故选B。A项“体育新闻报道”通常包含赛事结果或评论,而非报名细节;C项“旅游指南”侧重景点介绍,不涉及报名规则;D项“健身杂志”可能讨论训练方法,但不会如此详细列出报名费用和年龄限制。
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. C 27. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者周末休息的小木屋的故事。
【24题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Cool air clears my mind as I walk to the kitchen, where my husband is making his morning coffee. The fire he thoughtfully started is beginning to heat the living space.”(当我走向厨房时,凉爽的空气使我头脑清醒,我的丈夫正在那里煮早晨的咖啡。他若有所思地生起了一堆火,开始给客厅供暖。以及第二段中“By my second cup, everyone is awake. After breakfast, we begin the busy work of a rural place. Chopping(砍) wood for the stove and clearing snow off steps and pathways.”(喝第二杯的时候,大家都醒了。早饭后,我们开始了农村的忙碌工作。劈柴生火,清理台阶和小路上的积雪。)和第三段中“After dinner, we play cards with a lot of energy and competitive interaction.”(晚饭后,我们玩纸牌,充满活力和竞争的互动。)可知,第1-3段主要讲的是一家人在小木屋的活动。故选B项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Weekends at the cabin (木屋) are magical. During the break, our family constantly balances the demands of work and school. I'm subject to my watch and alarm clock. But coming to the cabin on the weekend is like entering another world.”(在小木屋度过的周末很神奇。在休息期间,我们的家庭不断平衡工作和学习的需求。我受手表和闹钟的影响。但周末来到小屋就像进入了另一个世界。)以及第五段“Here, I don’t need to know what time it is-sunrise and sunset, hunger and chores set our schedule. The house and the woods around it are silent and dark, except for birdsong and the moon. Life seems less pressing, and it’s easier to live in the moment without distraction.”(在这里,我不需要知道时间——日出和日落,饥饿和家务设定了我们的时间表。房子和周围的树林寂静而黑暗,只有鸟鸣和月光。生活似乎没有那么紧迫,活在当下而不分心也更容易。)可推知,作者认为小屋的周末很神奇是因为她没有被紧张的日程所束缚。故选D项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“I know what he means. I smile and put my arms around him. “Even when we’re home, this place is always here, where it’s quiet and safe, and everyone you love has time for you.””(我明白他的意思。我微笑着搂住他。‘即使我们在家,这个地方也一直在这里,这里安静、安全,你爱的每个人都有时间陪你。’)可知,小屋代表了一个家庭成员相互联系的地方。故选C项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是倒数第二段“I know what he means. I smile and put my arms around him. “Even when we’re home, this place is always here, where it’s quiet and safe, and everyone you love has time for you.””(我明白他的意思。我微笑着搂住他。“即使我们在家,这个地方也一直在这里,这里安静、安全,你爱的每个人都有时间陪你。”)可知,本文主要讲述了作者一家在木屋度过的周末休息生活,以及这种生活给他们带来的感受和意义,因此本文的最佳标题是Taking a Break(休息一下)。故选A项。
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. C 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了Furniture Bank使用AI图像募捐引发的伦理争议。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第三段中“Furniture Bank, a Toronto-based charity that collects used household items for people in need, switched to Al-generated images in its 2022 holiday campaign. (家具银行是一家总部位于多伦多的慈善机构,为有需要的人收集二手家居用品,该机构在2022年的节日活动中转而使用人工智能生成的图像)”可知,Furniture Bank采用了一种非常规的方式来推动捐款。故选B。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第四段中“But there has been recent resistance to this long-existing practice. Critics argue that it can reinforce harmful stereotypes (刻板印象) and hurt its subjects. (然而,近期对这种长期存在的做法出现了抵制。批评者认为,这可能会强化有害的刻板印象,并伤害其对象)”可知,在慈善活动中使用个人真实照片的问题之一是损害了相关人员的尊严。故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第五段“Jon Dean, a sociology professor, said that AI is a step in the right direction in this case. It, however, doesn’t necessarily improve Furniture Bank’s images above traditional ones. While they’ve solved an ethical problem by not identifying individuals, Dean pointed out that these images still put the focus on individual suffering, rather than the root causes of that suffering. (社会学教授Jon Dean表示,在这种情况下,AI是一个正确的方向。然而,这并不一定意味着家具银行的形象能够超越传统形象。虽然他们通过不识别个人解决了一个道德问题,但迪恩指出,这些图像仍然将焦点放在了个人的苦难上,而不是这些苦难的根本原因上)”可知,Jon Dean对AI在慈善中的应用持客观态度。故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Stowe Boyd, a researcher in tech evolution, noted that we are getting used to questioning every image we see online. While plagiarism (抄袭) has always existed, AI provides another way to“degrade the authenticity” in photography and writing. Whether authenticity matters is a more complicated question. But a news reporter quoting a fictional straw man in an article, or a charity pretending an Al image was real, would cross an ethical line, said Boyd. (科技进化研究者Stowe Boyd指出,我们已经习惯于质疑在网上看到的每一张图片。虽然抄袭一直存在,但AI为摄影和写作中的“降低真实性”提供了另一种方式。真实性是否重要是一个更复杂的问题。但博伊德说,新闻记者在文章中引用虚构的稻草人,或慈善机构假装AI图像是真实的,都会跨越道德底线)”可知,Stowe Boyd建议在慈善活动中谨慎使用AI。故选A。
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究人员利用机器学习算法识别实验室老鼠面部表情的一项研究,解释了研究开展的经过以及研究的意义。
32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Recently, researchers have used a machine-learning algorithm (算法) to recognize the seemingly mysterious facial expressions of laboratory mice.(最近,研究人员使用一种机器学习算法来识别实验室老鼠看似神秘的面部表情)”可知,研究的重点是揭示老鼠表情的秘密。故选B。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Neuroscientist Nadine Gogolla, who led the study, took inspiration from a 2014 paper that Anderson wrote with his workmate Ralph Adolphs. In the study, they theorized ‘brain states’ such as emotions should exhibit particular characteristics — they should be persistent, for example, enduring for some time after the stimulus that aroused them has disappeared. And they should vary with the strength of the stimulus.(领导这项研究的神经科学家纳丁·戈戈拉从安德森与同事拉尔夫·阿道夫于2014年撰写的一篇论文中获得了灵感。在这项研究中,他们将情绪等‘大脑状态’理论化,认为它们应该表现出特定的特征——例如,它们应该是持续的,在引起它们的刺激消失后还能持续一段时间。而且它们应该随着刺激力度的不同而变化)”可知,第二段的主要是谈及研究背景。故选C。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“So they broke down the videos of facial-muscle movements into ultra-short snapshots as the animals responded to the different stimuli. Machine-learning algorithms recognized distinct expressions, which correlated with the aroused emotional states, such as pleasure, disgust or fear. The facial expressions had the characteristics that Anderson and Adolphs had proposed.(因此,他们将动物对不同刺激的面部肌肉运动视频分解成超短的快照。机器学习算法识别出不同的表情,这些表情与被唤起的情绪状态相关,比如快乐、厌恶或恐惧。)”可知,Gogolla的团队通过机器学习算法对图片进行分类来区分老鼠的表情。故选D。
【35题详解】
逻辑推理题。根据倒数第二段中“The scientists then searched for brain cells that might encode these emotions in the brain. Using optogenetics (光遗传学), they targeted individual neuronal circuits in mice that have been shown to trigger particular emotions in humans and other animals. (然后,科学家们寻找可能在大脑中编码这些情绪的脑细胞。利用光遗传学技术,他们瞄准了老鼠的单个神经回路,这些神经回路已被证明会引发人类和其他动物的特定情绪。)”以及最后一段“the team used a technique called two-photon calcium imaging to identify individual neurons in the mouse brain that fired only when particular emotions, and particular facial expressions, were aroused. “They may represent part of a coding for emotions in the brain,” says Gogolla. “We think encoding for emotion may be evolutionary conserved, and so the encoding in humans and mice may share some common features.”(研究小组使用了一种叫做双光子钙成像的技术来识别老鼠大脑中的单个神经元,这些神经元只有在特定的情绪和特定的面部表情被激发时才会被激活。‘它们可能代表了大脑中情绪编码的一部分,’Gogolla说:‘我们认为情绪编码可能是进化保守的,因此人类和老鼠的编码可能有一些共同的特征。’)”可知,人类和老鼠的编码可能有一些共同的特征,而科学家们运用不同的技术来寻找可能在大脑中编码不同情绪的脑细胞,他们所瞄准的单个神经回路已被证明会引发人类和其他动物的特定情绪,识别只有在特定的情绪和特定的面部表情被激发时才会被激活的单个神经元;由此可知,这项研究的意义是它提供了对人类情感编码的深入了解。故选B。
【答案】36. B 37. E 38. G 39. D 40.F
36.B 根据下句This is a concern for people besides self and family.可知,这里在讨论“帮助他人”这种情形。
37.E 上句指出“当你帮助他人做事时,你不会……”,下句则应该接着说明“相反,你会……”。
38.G 上文提到了2007年的一项研究,G项则是对这项研究结果的进一步说明。
39.D 本段结尾指出:为了从帮助他人中收获好处,你不需要拯救世界,只需要改善你的小角落。D项意思与此一致,符合语境。
40.F 上句It’s never too late to ...显然在谈论帮助他人的时间早晚问题,因此F项符合语境。
【答案】41. C 42. B 43. A 44. B 45. D 46. A 47. C 48. D 49. C 50. C 51. A 52. B 53. D 54. B 55. A

考查名词所有格。句意:这种类型的鼓舞通常在农历年的最后一个月和第一个月在许多地方节日活动中表演,从而表达人们对和平和繁荣的一年的期盼。根据句意,提示词与名词hope之间是所属关系,表示“人们的期盼”,应用名词所有格people’s作定语。故填people’s。
【62题详解】
考查状语从句的省略。句意:在一场表演中,鼓手们左手拿鼓,右手拿木槌,表演各种舞蹈动作。在when, while, if, as if, though(或although), as, until, once, whether, unless, where等连词连接的状语从句中,常省略跟主句相同的主语和be动词。结合句意,分析子可知,“while (hold) the drum in their left hands and a mallet in their right hands”是时间状语从句,原句为“while they are holding the drum in their left hands and a mallet in their right hands”,符合状语从句省略条件,省略they are后,应保留现在分词holding。故填holding。
【63题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:鼓乐体现了中国传统的审美观念,具有鲜明的地方特色。分析句子可知,空格处为非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词the drum playing,关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作介词of的宾语,应使用关系代词which引导该从句。故填which。
【64题详解】
考查动词时态语态和主谓一致。句意:在过去的几十年里,门头沟区一直在努力保护这一标志性的民间舞蹈文化。分析句子可知,make是句中谓语动词,与主语efforts之间是被动关系,结合时间状语In the past decades可知,应使用现在完成时态,又因主语是复数名词,所以谓语动词也应使用复数形式。综上,谓语应用现在完成时的被动语态,复数形式。故填have been made。
【65题详解】
考查连词。句意:今天,京西太平鼓这一历史悠久的民间艺术正在被年轻人所接受,并在世界舞台上展示着其生动的艺术魅力。结合句意分析句子,“is being taken up...”和“is presenting ...”是并列谓语动词,用连词and连接。故填and。

The Most Impressive Class
The most impressive class I’ve ever had is the English literature class about Charlotte’s Web last semester.
What struck me most was the teacher’s passion for literature. Her plot explanation, character analysis and theme extraction helped me see the novel in a new light. Apart from her in-depth exploration, she also involved us in a discussion, encouraging us to share and comment. I was amazed at how engaged I was and how much I learned. I even left the class feeling motivated to major in literature in the future.
I look forward to more inspiring classes, where teachers can bring the subject to life and make learning enjoyable.

Ruby walked over to my mother, we girls holding our breath. Tension hung in the air, we waited to see who would shout first. Yet, mum broke the silence in a surprisingly gentle voice, “We’re truly sorry about the roses. The girls and I will fix them and help weed the roses.” Hearing this, Ruby softened wiping away tears, “ I know we’re particular about the roses, but these roses... they remind me of my mother.” My sisters and I were overwhelmed with guilt, ducking our heads in shame. For the next few hours, we knelt together side by side, gently repairing the broken stems.
A few weeks later, the plants all came back to life. Witnessing the damaged roses blooming under our attentive care, Ruby and mum were moved to tears of joy. So were my sisters and I. That summer we transformed from troublemakers to diligent caretakers, attending to the roses with newfound dedication and respect. Together with Ruby, we drank tea and tended the garden, our laughter echoing through the rosebushes. No longer did we whisper Crazy Jack and Ruby Rednose——now it was simply Aunt Ruby. The rosebushes, once a barrier, transformed into a bridge connecting the two families, blooming with flowers and friendship alike.

M: Really? I’m not sure I could. You almost lost your job!
W: But the truth is out now. Everyone knows she messed up that customer presentation, not me. (15) And losing her management position seems to have taught her a lesson.
M: Still… That doesn’t mean you must accept what she did.
W: No. But forgiveness isn’t about excusing someone’s actions. It’s about letting go. (16) As they say, “Holding onto your anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.”
M: Wise words!
W: Now I’ve moved departments, and I seldom see her around the office anymore. So, my anger wasn’t even affecting her…only me. Letting go has allowed me to find peace again.
M: Well, I think it’s very big of you!
Text 10 如何在AI时代保持职业竞争力 (第18题为总结题)
Good morning, everyone. Your generation is in an interesting situation. Right now, you’re studying for the college entry exam and planning your future careers. (19) At the same time, the working world is changing before your eyes. With thousands of jobs already lost to AI and robots, how do you know your chosen path isn’t a “dead end”? The answer lies in developing skills that machines cannot easily replace. For example, computers process information quickly, but struggle with context and complex decision-making. People with fresh ideas, who can think independently to find creative solutions, will always be most valued by employers. (20) Secondly, technology will never match the human ability for communication. And as the world gets “smaller” thanks to the internet, relationship-building skills, mental flexibility, and cultural awareness will become increasingly important. Of course, the careers of today may not even exist tomorrow. So, be open to change and to learning new things. That’s the way to keep pace in this fast-moving world.

Consciousness (意识) rises slowly, awakening with the dawn that brightens my room. Cool air clears my mind as I walk to the kitchen, where my husband is making his morning coffee. The fire he thoughtfully started is beginning to heat the living space.
By my second cup, everyone is awake. After breakfast, we begin the busy work of a rural place. Chopping (砍) wood for the stove and clearing snow off steps and pathways. Our kids are big enough to be properly helpful and find joy in the work when everyone is doing it together.
Then we take a walk through the fresh snow. We discover an amazing array of animals on display in the markings that they have left. After dinner, we play cards with a lot of energy and competitive interaction. Eventually, we’ll turn off the lights and with the fire crackling (噼啪作响), cuddle (拥抱) on the couch to watch the stars through the windows before heading off to bed.
Weekends at the cabin (木屋) are magical. During the break, our family constantly balances the demands of work and school. I’m subject to my watch and alarm clock. But coming to the cabin on the weekend is like entering another world.
Here, I don’t need to know what time it is-sunrise and sunset, hunger and chores set our schedule. The house and the woods around it are silent and dark, except for birdsong and the moon. Life seems less pressing, and it’s easier to live in the moment without distraction.
When I get up the next morning, my son is already sitting in front of the fire, staring at the flames. I sit beside him, and he leans into me, sleepy and a bit sad. “What’s up?” I ask. “I just don’t want to go home yet. I like it better here.”
I know what he means. I smile and put my arms around him. “Even when we’re home, this place is always here, where it’s quiet and safe, and everyone you love has time for you.”
I don’t really mean the cabin and I think he knows that.
24. What are paragraphs 1-3 mainly about?
A. The reasons the family go to the cabin.
B. The activities of the family at the cabin.
C. The adventures of the family in the woods.
D. The attitudes of the family to their cabin life.
25. Why does the author think weekends at the cabin are magical?
A. She can reunite with her family.
B. She enjoys the silence there most.
C. She finds her life there more thrilling.
D. She was not enslaved by tight schedules.
26. What does the cabin represent in the passage?
A. A rural culture. B. An isolated life.
C. A place of connection. D. An energetic interaction.
27. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Taking a Break B. A Weekend Picnic
C. Embracing Our Life D. A Conscious Attempt
C
A young mom stares out the window in an empty room, holding a baby. The striking image is meant to arouse sympathy for a charity campaign and to urge the viewer to ask: Who is this poor woman? How can I help her?
But there is a catch: The woman is not real.
Furniture Bank, a Toronto-based charity that collects used household items for people in need, switched to Al-generated images in its 2022 holiday campaign. The move raised a host of ethical (道德的) questions along with donations.
Executive director Dan Kershaw said that the lifelike scenes show the isolation of clients (客户的孤立无援) without objectifying (具体化) real people. Charities often use images of economically disadvantaged individuals to win public sympathy. Kershaw noted, “Without this strategy, they wouldn’t raise funds.” Studies suggest that images of negative emotions lead to larger donations than those with smiling faces. But there has been recent resistance to this long-existing practice. Critics argue that it can reinforce harmful stereotypes (刻板印象) and hurt its subjects.
In 2022, Kershaw took stories written by real clients, input them into the AI image generator Midjourney, and created 40 images. This allowed Furniture Bank to show some of the darkest moments in their clients’ lives without identifying them in any way.
Jon Dean, a sociology professor, said that AI is a step in the right direction in this case. It, however, doesn’t necessarily improve Furniture Bank’s images above traditional ones. While they’ve solved an ethical problem by not identifying individuals, Dean pointed out that these images still put the focus on individual suffering, rather than the root causes of that suffering.
Stowe Boyd, a researcher in tech evolution, noted that we are getting used to questioning every image we see online. While plagiarism (抄袭) has always existed, AI provides another way to“degrade the authenticity” in photography and writing. Whether authenticity matters is a more complicated question. But a news reporter quoting a fictional straw man in an article, or a charity pretending an Al image was real, would cross an ethical line, said Boyd.
28. What did Furniture Bank do in 2022?
A. It hired a young mom to take more attractive photos.
B. It adopted an unconventional way to drive donations.
C. It bought a collection of useful household items for the poor.
D. It asked the clients to enter their stories into an AI image generator.
29. What is one of the problems of using individuals’ real photos in charity activities?
A. It can trap donors in negative emotions. B. It is at a disadvantage in terms of quantity.
C. It can’t attract the attention of more groups. D. It harms the dignity of the people involved.
30. What is Jon Dean’s attitude towards the AI approach in charity?
A. Supportive. B. Indifferent. C. Objective. D. Critical.
31. What does Stowe Boyd suggest in the last paragraph?
A. Using AI with caution in charity activities.
B. Holding more talks on the use of AI in charity.
C. Applying AI to solve the problem of plagiarism.
D. Developing people’s ability to spot virtual pictures.
D
Recently, researchers have used a machine-learning algorithm (算法) to recognize the seemingly mysterious facial expressions of laboratory mice. The work could have implications for locating neurons (神经元) in the human brain that encode particular expressions. Their study “is an important first step” in understanding some of the mysterious aspects of emotions and how they present in the brain, says neuroscientist David Anderson at the California Institute of Technology.
Neuroscientist Nadine Gogolla, who led the study, took inspiration from a 2014 paper that Anderson wrote with his workmate Ralph Adolphs. In the study, they theorized ‘brain states’ such as emotions should exhibit particular characteristics — they should be persistent, for example, enduring for some time after the stimulus that aroused them has disappeared. And they should vary with the strength of the stimulus.
Gogolla’s team fixed the heads of mice to keep them still, then provided different sensory stimuli intended to trigger particular emotions, and filmed the animals’ faces. They knew a mouse can change its expression by moving its ears, cheeks, nose and the upper parts of its eyes, but couldn’t reliably assign the expressions to particular emotions. So they broke down the videos of facial-muscle movements into ultra-short snapshots as the animals responded to the different stimuli. Machine-learning algorithms recognized distinct expressions, which correlated with the aroused emotional states, such as pleasure, disgust or fear. The facial expressions had the characteristics that Anderson and Adolphs had proposed.
The scientists then searched for brain cells that might encode these emotions in the brain. Using optogenetics (光遗传学), they targeted individual neuronal circuits in mice that have been shown to trigger particular emotions in humans and other animals. When the authors directly stimulated these circuits, the mice assumed the relevant facial expressions.
Finally, the team used a technique called two-photon calcium imaging to identify individual neurons in the mouse brain that fired only when particular emotions, and particular facial expressions, were aroused. “They may represent part of a coding for emotions in the brain,” says Gogolla. “We think encoding for emotion may be evolutionary conserved, and so the encoding in humans and mice may share some common features.”
32. What does the study focus on according to paragraph 1?
A. Testing the machine-learning algorithm.
B. Uncovering the secret of mice’s expressions.
C. Encoding particular expressions of human beings.
D. Identifying certain neurons related to expressions.
33. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. Giving examples of the study methods. B. Displaying details of the research process.
C. Making reference to the study background. D. Listing characteristics of the research findings.
34. How did Gogolla’s team distinguish mice’s expressions?
A. By using different sensory stimuli.
B. By filming mice’s facial-muscle movements.
C. By employing optogenetics targeting neuron circuits.
D. By categorizing their pictures with machine-learning algorithm.
35. What might be the significance of the study according to the text?
A. It decodes the process of emotional evolution.
B. It offers insights into emotional encoding in human.
C. It has fully revealed the mystery of mice’s emotions.
D. It discovers the similarities between human and mice.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
As long as you live, you have an opportunity to change and pursue your life’s purpose. 36 ,you seek to focus on what you want to create rather than dwell on problems. This is a concern for people besides self and family. Studies suggest that helping others can increase your happiness and improve your health.
When you’re doing something for others, you don’t let the little ups and downs of life get to you. 37 .According to psychologist Susan Krauss Whitbourne, putting others before yourself is a “hidden superpower”.“The most generative people have better long-term well-being”than people who focus purely on their own happiness.
According to a 2007 AmeriCorps study,“A growing body of research indicates that volunteering provides not just social benefits, but individual health benefits as well.” 38 :Those who volunteer have lower mortality rates (死亡率),greater functional ability, and lower rates of depression later in life than those who do not volunteer.
39 .Benefiting from a sense of purpose can come from supporting your family and friends or mentoring someone. To reap the benefits of helping others, you don’t need to save the world, just improve your little corner of it.
It’s never too late to discover what you can do to make others happy and bring it to life through your actions in the world. 40 .This is because you have gained the wisdom, skills, and resilience to throw yourself into a project with clarity and energy effectively. Your gifts to others will have great value, not only to those who receive them directly but also to everyone their lives touch through an infinite range of time.
A. If you concentrate on your own life
B. When your purpose is to help others
C. You will improve your own happiness and health
D. You don’t have to do something huge to be of service
E. Instead, you focus on something higher and more meaningful
F. Your older years can be your greatest opportunity to contribute
G. The study concluded that there is a strong relationship between volunteering and health

67. 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。
The neighborhood kids nicknamed the strange old couple Crazy Jack and Ruby Rednose. Rumor was that they sat inside and drank tea all day. The only words we ever heard from them were “Keep out of our rosebushes!”
The rosebushes served as a fence between our house and theirs. I was eleven at the time and the oldest of six active girls. We should have played our softball games elsewhere to avoid hurting the roses, but we secretly enjoyed annoying Crazy Jack and Ruby Rednose. One day, we had a neighborhood softball game in our yard. Mary was trying to catch a fly ball. She stumbled (绊倒) over one of Ruby Rednose’s rosebushes and fell on top of several more. Just at the moment, Ruby Rednose sprang out and ran toward Mary. She screamed angrily, “Look at what you’ve done to our family’s roses! You’ve always been a trouble. You have no idea what this rosebush means to me!”
Hearing this, my sisters and I ran into our house. “Girls, I have told you not to play softball near those bushes. Come outside right now and help me fix them.” “Mom, we thought you didn’t like the couple,” we protested. “They’re mean to us.” Mom just glared at us. We followed her outside to help repair the rose fence. While Mom was examining the damaged roses, Ruby slowly walked out. She looked sad. And it wasn’t her nose that was red——it was her eyes.
