Holding the key to a car, 40-year-old Jessica Rader couldn’t help but weep. “It’s not just about the car,” she whispered, her voice trembling with emotion. “It’s about community.”
The vehicle was more than a gift; it was a masterpiece of kindness crafted by students at Louisa County High School. For several months, these teenagers had labored in their automotive workshop to repair the car specifically for Rader, a single mother of three. “Kids who never met me cared enough to ensure my family’s safety,” Rader remarked, still breathless from the encounter.
This heartwarming scene was part of a partnership between the school and Giving Words, a local nonprofit founded by Eddie Brown. Having struggled as single parents themselves, Brown and his wife understood the stakes (利害关系). “A broken-down car can mean losing a job or missing vital appointments,” Brown explained. Since 2018, they have donated over 60 cars to single mothers, with high-schoolers renewing about half of them.
In the school’s garage, the connection of education and real life becomes visible. Under the guidance of teacher Shane Robertson, about 20 students per car handle everything from brake repairs to battery testing. For 16-year-old Holden Pekary, the experience is deeply rewarding. He recalled a recent presentation where the class raised the garage doors and clapped as a mother with a baby received her keys. “I put the license plate on for her,” Holden said proudly. “It was nice.”
For Rader, the car was a bridge to a new life. Within three months of connecting with the program, her world shifted. “Because of this vehicle, I moved from a part-time job to a full-time career and started school,” she said. Beyond the car, Giving Words also gave her free oil changes, as well as diapers (尿布) and clothing for her sons. A little mechanical help can drive a soul toward a brighter future.
4. What did Rader value most?
A. The car’s excellent performance.
B. The car’s extraordinary function.
C. The collective care of the community.
D. The academic credits students earned.
5. Why did Eddie Brown start the vehicle donation program?
A. To assist single parents in hard times.
B. To provide technical training for teenagers.
C. To share his own successful parenting tips.
D. To reduce the unemployment rate locally.
6. How did the car program change Rader’s life?
A. It improved her academic performance.
B. It secured her a more stable livelihood.
C. It encouraged her to become a mechanic.
D. It helped her get rid of financial crisis.
7. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Transforming Lives Through Joint Kindness
B. The Professional Growth of High-Schoolers
C. A Creative Way to Recycle Old Cars
D. Challenges Facing Single Mothers
C
Andrewsarchus mongoliensis is a large meat-eating animal that walked on hooves (蹄子). It has confused scientists who study ancient life for over 100 years. This special creature was first discovered in Inner Mongolia in 1923. Researchers have studied its huge and well-preserved skull, which is more than 2.7 feet long. The skull has strong teeth that can easily break bones, as well as powerful mouth muscles.
However, scientists have found only a few fossils: the complete skull, some broken jaws and worn teeth. Because of the limited fossils, experts still cannot decide its true body size or correct place in the development of mammals (哺乳动物). People once believed it was the largest meat-eating animal that ever lived on land.
Over the years, scientists’ opinions about Andrewsarchus have changed many times. At first, they thought it was related to thick-headed pig-like animals. Later, some believed it was similar to wolf-like animals or even an early kind of whale living on land. But none of these ideas have been fully proved, as there are not enough complete fossils.
A 2023 study suggested that Andrewsarchus might be close to early pig-like animals that ate both plants and meat. But some scientists say similar body parts may come from similar living environments, not close blood relationship.
Today, Andrewsarchus still remains an enigma to be solved. Although experts know it was huge and could break bones, the exact shape of its head, the length of its legs, and whether it walked on two feet or four remain unknown. Its real body structure will not be clear until more fossils are found in the future.
8. What is a feature of Andrewsarchus?
A. It had a tiny but strong skull. B. It could run faster than many animals.
C. It was a small meat-eating animal. D. It had powerful teeth to break bones.
9. What makes experts have trouble in learning more about Andrewsarchus?
A. Its unusual way of living. B. Its limited fossils.
C. Its skull of little research value. D. Its wrong position in the mammal tree.
10. What do some scientists think of Andrewsarchus?
A. It was a kind of large pure hunter. B. It had the same body form as living mammals.
C. It mainly hunted large animals for food. D. It may be related to early pig-like animals.
11. What does the underlined word “enigma” in the last paragraph mean?
A. A new scientific discovery. B. A secret or something not understood.
C. A special kind of fossil. D. A huge meat-eating animal.
D
A new study from the University of Hawaii (UH) at Manoa proves that waste from deep-sea mining could threaten major ecosystems in the Pacific Ocean’s Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ) . This area, one of the most biologically rich areas of the deep sea, is now the focus of growing industrial interest.
Researchers found that waste let out during mining activities could damage marine life in the midwater “twilight zone”, a habitat between 200 and 1, 500 meters below the surface that supports large populations of tiny animals called zooplankton — the base of the ocean’s food web.
The research examined the effects of deep-sea mining during a 2022 test in the CCZ, an area for the mining of nodules (结核) that contain valuable metals. By collecting and studying water samples from the depths where mining waste was let out, the scientists found that mining particles (颗粒) contained far fewer amino acids (氨基酸) , an important measure of food quality, than the natural particles that typically feed marine life.
During the mining process, nodules are collected from the seafloor along with sediments (沉积物) , and sent up to a ship where nodules are separated from the waste material. The waste sediments are then let out back into the ocean. “When the sediments enter the ocean, the mining particles spread everywhere and water down the healthy, natural food particles usually eaten by zooplankton,” said Michael Dowd, lead author of the study. “Small animal species feeding on zooplankton travel between the depths and near surface waters, and are eaten by fish, seabirds and large animals. So zooplankton’s eating junk food particles has the potential to damage the entire food web.”
At present, around 1. 5 million square kilometers of the CCZ are allowed for deep-sea mining exploration, and some companies have suggested letting out this waste within the twilight zone. However, no international rules currently state where or how mining waste can be let out. If we don’t understand what’s in danger in the midwater, we risk destroying ecosystems we’re only just beginning to study.
12. What is the purpose of the 2022 test in the CCZ?
A. To research the content of natural particles. B. To study the influence of deep-sea mining.
C. To observe the wildlife of the twilight zone. D. To measure the economic value of nodules.
13. How do mining particles threaten zooplankton?
A. They reduce healthy food sources. B. They attract zooplankton’s enemies.
C. They stop zooplankton moving around. D. They pollute zooplankton’s living space.
14. Why is zooplankton referred to as “the base of the ocean’s food web”?
A. They feed most marine life directly or indirectly. B. They help remove mining particles in the ocean.
C. They maintain water quality in the twilight zone. D. They move between deep and surface waters.
15. What’s the author’s attitude to deep-sea mining?
A. Curious and positive. B. Concerned and opposed.
C. Careful and objective. D. Confused but interested.

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。
On a hot summer afternoon, John, his wife Judy and ten-year-old son, Tommy, looked over the wall of their yard and watched curiously as the new neighbors moved their furniture into the house next door.
“Looks like they are from a very distant city?” Judy asked.
“Must be. Look at so many big bags. A bit much if you ask me,” John responded.
“Looks like there’s a kid there too. He looks like he’s my age,” Tommy said with excitement. Tommy and that boy shared a brief nod of acknowledgment. Tommy was very happy that he was about to have a new friend. At that moment, Tommy heard a loud shout from next door.
“Kevin! Stop staring off into the clouds and help your mother with the rest of the bags,” Kevin’s dad, Danny, told his son, seeing him staring at the neighbors next door. “Looks like we’ve got some nosy (好管闲事的) neighbors,” Danny added in a low voice.
However, Kevin’s mother, Cindy, did not agree with her husband. She thought this might be really good for their son Kevin, and that Kevin could even make friends with the boy next door. Since they had been very busy in the past, they were not familiar with their neighbors, and Kevin had few friends. So she thought this was a fresh start for them. She believed that they had nice neighbors, and they should grab (抓住) this chance.
A few days later, one afternoon, Kevin suddenly yelled in the yard, “Dad! Dad!”
“What’s wrong?” Danny asked, concerned.
“Over there! A dog in the yard!” Kevin whispered urgently, pointing to the dog.
“Are you okay?” Danny rushed out and asked.
“Yes, but the dog is making a mess of our yard,” Kevin replied.
Anger washed over Danny as he stepped in for a closer look and found a hole in the yard’s wall. Then he tried to calm himself, but found it difficult, wondering what to do.
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。
Just before Danny and Kevin decided to take action, there was a knock at the yard’s door.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________
“How about tearing down the wall for our future family activities?” Danny suggested.

Holding the key to a car, 40-year-old Jessica Rader couldn’t help but weep. “It’s not just about the car,” she whispered, her voice trembling with emotion. “It’s about community.”
The vehicle was more than a gift; it was a masterpiece of kindness crafted by students at Louisa County High School. For several months, these teenagers had labored in their automotive workshop to repair the car specifically for Rader, a single mother of three. “Kids who never met me cared enough to ensure my family’s safety,” Rader remarked, still breathless from the encounter.
This heartwarming scene was part of a partnership between the school and Giving Words, a local nonprofit founded by Eddie Brown. Having struggled as single parents themselves, Brown and his wife understood the stakes (利害关系). “A broken-down car can mean losing a job or missing vital appointments,” Brown explained. Since 2018, they have donated over 60 cars to single mothers, with high-schoolers renewing about half of them.
In the school’s garage, the connection of education and real life becomes visible. Under the guidance of teacher Shane Robertson, about 20 students per car handle everything from brake repairs to battery testing. For 16-year-old Holden Pekary, the experience is deeply rewarding. He recalled a recent presentation where the class raised the garage doors and clapped as a mother with a baby received her keys. “I put the license plate on for her,” Holden said proudly. “It was nice.”
For Rader, the car was a bridge to a new life. Within three months of connecting with the program, her world shifted. “Because of this vehicle, I moved from a part-time job to a full-time career and started school,” she said. Beyond the car, Giving Words also gave her free oil changes, as well as diapers (尿布) and clothing for her sons. A little mechanical help can drive a soul toward a brighter future.
4. What did Rader value most?
A. The car’s excellent performance.
B. The car’s extraordinary function.
C. The collective care of the community.
D. The academic credits students earned.
5. Why did Eddie Brown start the vehicle donation program?
A. To assist single parents in hard times.
B. To provide technical training for teenagers.
C. To share his own successful parenting tips.
D. To reduce the unemployment rate locally.
6. How did the car program change Rader’s life?
A. It improved her academic performance.
B. It secured her a more stable livelihood.
C. It encouraged her to become a mechanic.
D. It helped her get rid of financial crisis.
7. What’s the best title for the text?

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“‘It’s not just about the car,’ she whispered, her voice trembling with emotion. ‘It’s about community.’(‘这不仅仅是一辆车,’她声音颤抖着低声说道,‘这关乎社群。’)”可知,Rader最看重的是来自社群众人共同的关爱。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Having struggled as single parents themselves, Brown and his wife understood the stakes. A broken-down car can mean losing a job or missing vital appointments.(Brown夫妇也曾身为单身父母苦苦挣扎,深知其中利害。一辆坏掉的汽车可能意味着丢掉工作或是错过重要预约。)”可知,Eddie Brown发起这项捐车项目是为了帮助身处困境的单身父母。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“‘Because of this vehicle, I moved from a part-time job to a full-time career and started school,’ she said.(她说:‘因为这辆车,我从兼职工作换成了全职工作,还重返校园学习。’)”可知,这辆车让她拥有了更稳定的生计。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“The vehicle was more than a gift; it was a masterpiece of kindness crafted by students at Louisa County High School. For several months, these teenagers had labored in their automotive workshop to repair the car specifically for Rader, a single mother of three.(这辆车不仅仅是一份礼物;它更是路易莎县高中的学生们用心凝聚善意打造的暖心之作。几个月来,这些青少年一直在汽车维修车间辛苦劳作,专门为育有三个孩子的单身母亲雷德修理这辆汽车。)”和第三段“This heartwarming scene was part of a partnership between the school and Giving Words, a local nonprofit founded by Eddie Brown.(这暖心的一幕,源自这所学校与当地由Eddie Brown创立的非营利组织‘传递善意’的合作项目。)”可知,文章围绕众人联手行善、用爱心改变单身母亲生活展开。A项“Transforming Lives Through Joint Kindness(携手善意,改变人生)”最贴合文章主旨,适合用作标题。

Andrewsarchus mongoliensis is a large meat-eating animal that walked on hooves (蹄子). It has confused scientists who study ancient life for over 100 years. This special creature was first discovered in Inner Mongolia in 1923. Researchers have studied its huge and well-preserved skull, which is more than 2.7 feet long. The skull has strong teeth that can easily break bones, as well as powerful mouth muscles.
However, scientists have found only a few fossils: the complete skull, some broken jaws and worn teeth. Because of the limited fossils, experts still cannot decide its true body size or correct place in the development of mammals (哺乳动物). People once believed it was the largest meat-eating animal that ever lived on land.
Over the years, scientists’ opinions about Andrewsarchus have changed many times. At first, they thought it was related to thick-headed pig-like animals. Later, some believed it was similar to wolf-like animals or even an early kind of whale living on land. But none of these ideas have been fully proved, as there are not enough complete fossils.
A 2023 study suggested that Andrewsarchus might be close to early pig-like animals that ate both plants and meat. But some scientists say similar body parts may come from similar living environments, not close blood relationship.
Today, Andrewsarchus still remains an enigma to be solved. Although experts know it was huge and could break bones, the exact shape of its head, the length of its legs, and whether it walked on two feet or four remain unknown. Its real body structure will not be clear until more fossils are found in the future.
8. What is a feature of Andrewsarchus?
A. It had a tiny but strong skull. B. It could run faster than many animals.
C. It was a small meat-eating animal. D. It had powerful teeth to break bones.
9. What makes experts have trouble in learning more about Andrewsarchus?
A. Its unusual way of living. B. Its limited fossils.
C. Its skull of little research value. D. Its wrong position in the mammal tree.
10. What do some scientists think of Andrewsarchus?
A. It was a kind of large pure hunter. B. It had the same body form as living mammals.
C. It mainly hunted large animals for food. D. It may be related to early pig-like animals.
11. What does the underlined word “enigma” in the last paragraph mean?
A. A new scientific discovery. B. A secret or something not understood.
C. A special kind of fossil. D. A huge meat-eating animal.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要说明了蒙古安氏中兽是大型有蹄食肉古生物,化石遗存稀少,百年来科学家对其分类、体型争议不断,至今仍是未解之谜,需更多化石才能揭晓真相。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The skull has strong teeth that can easily break bones, as well as powerful mouth muscles.(这只头骨有着坚固的牙齿,能够轻易地击碎骨头,而且其口腔肌肉也非常强壮)”可知,安氏中兽的一个特征是有着坚固的牙齿,能够咬断骨头。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Because of the limited fossils, experts still cannot decide its true body size or correct place in the development of mammals (哺乳动物).(由于化石数量有限,专家们仍无法确定其真实的身体大小,也无法确定其在哺乳动物进化过程中的确切位置)”可知,化石数量有限让专家们难以进一步了解安氏中兽的情况。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“A 2023 study suggested that Andrewsarchus might be close to early pig-like animals that ate both plants and meat.(2023年的一项研究指出,安氏中兽可能是与早期类似猪的动物相近的一种生物,这类动物既吃植物也吃肉类)”可知,一些科学家认为安氏中兽可能与早期类似猪的动物有关。
【11题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“Although experts know it was huge and could break bones, the exact shape of its head, the length of its legs, and whether it walked on two feet or four remain unknown.(尽管专家们知道它体型庞大,能够击碎骨头,但其头部的确切形状、腿部的长度以及它是用两足还是四足行走的方式等细节仍不得而知)”可知,后文仍有诸多未知外形、四肢、行走方式等未解之处,可知enigma指未解之谜、难以理解的事物。故划线词意思是“一个秘密或者一些尚未被理解的东西”。

A new study from the University of Hawaii (UH) at Manoa proves that waste from deep-sea mining could threaten major ecosystems in the Pacific Ocean’s Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ) . This area, one of the most biologically rich areas of the deep sea, is now the focus of growing industrial interest.
Researchers found that waste let out during mining activities could damage marine life in the midwater “twilight zone”, a habitat between 200 and 1, 500 meters below the surface that supports large populations of tiny animals called zooplankton — the base of the ocean’s food web.
The research examined the effects of deep-sea mining during a 2022 test in the CCZ, an area for the mining of nodules (结核) that contain valuable metals. By collecting and studying water samples from the depths where mining waste was let out, the scientists found that mining particles (颗粒) contained far fewer amino acids (氨基酸) , an important measure of food quality, than the natural particles that typically feed marine life.
During the mining process, nodules are collected from the seafloor along with sediments (沉积物) , and sent up to a ship where nodules are separated from the waste material. The waste sediments are then let out back into the ocean. “When the sediments enter the ocean, the mining particles spread everywhere and water down the healthy, natural food particles usually eaten by zooplankton,” said Michael Dowd, lead author of the study. “Small animal species feeding on zooplankton travel between the depths and near surface waters, and are eaten by fish, seabirds and large animals. So zooplankton’s eating junk food particles has the potential to damage the entire food web.”
At present, around 1. 5 million square kilometers of the CCZ are allowed for deep-sea mining exploration, and some companies have suggested letting out this waste within the twilight zone. However, no international rules currently state where or how mining waste can be let out. If we don’t understand what’s in danger in the midwater, we risk destroying ecosystems we’re only just beginning to study.
12. What is the purpose of the 2022 test in the CCZ?
A. To research the content of natural particles. B. To study the influence of deep-sea mining.
C. To observe the wildlife of the twilight zone. D. To measure the economic value of nodules.
13. How do mining particles threaten zooplankton?
A. They reduce healthy food sources. B. They attract zooplankton’s enemies.
C. They stop zooplankton moving around. D. They pollute zooplankton’s living space.
14. Why is zooplankton referred to as “the base of the ocean’s food web”?
A. They feed most marine life directly or indirectly. B. They help remove mining particles in the ocean.
C. They maintain water quality in the twilight zone. D. They move between deep and surface waters.
15. What’s the author’s attitude to deep-sea mining?
A. Curious and positive. B. Concerned and opposed.
C. Careful and objective. D. Confused but interested.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了研究发现,深海采矿排放的沉积物会稀释浮游生物的营养来源,并通过食物链威胁整个海洋生态系统,而目前尚无规范采矿废弃物排放的国际规则。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The research examined the effects of deep-sea mining during a 2022 test in the CCZ, an area for the mining of nodules (结核) that contain valuable metals.( 这项研究考察了 2022 年在CCZ 进行的深海采矿试验的影响,该区域用于开采含有珍贵金属的结核。)”可知,2022年在CCZ区域测试的目的是研究深海采矿的影响。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中““When the sediments enter the ocean, the mining particles spread everywhere and water down the healthy, natural food particles usually eaten by zooplankton,” said Michael Dowd, lead author of the study.( 迈克尔·多德是这项研究的主要作者,他说道:“当这些沉积物进入海洋后,采矿颗粒会四处扩散,冲淡了通常被浮游动物食用的健康天然食物颗粒。”)”可知,采矿颗粒削减了浮游动物的健康食物来源。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中““Small animal species feeding on zooplankton travel between the depths and near surface waters, and are eaten by fish, seabirds and large animals. So zooplankton’s eating junk food particles has the potential to damage the entire food web.”(“以浮游动物为食的小型动物物种会在深海和近海水域之间游动,并被鱼类、海鸟和大型动物捕食。因此,浮游动物食用垃圾颗粒的行为有可能破坏整个食物链。”)”可知,浮游动物是海洋食物链底层;小型动物以浮游动物为食,鱼类、海鸟等又捕食这些小动物。因此,浮游生物直接或间接地为大多数海洋生物提供食物,构成了海洋食物链的基础。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“However, no international rules currently state where or how mining waste can be let out. If we don’t understand what’s in danger in the midwater, we risk destroying ecosystems we’re only just beginning to study.( 然而,目前尚无国际规则规定采矿废料可以排放至何处或如何排放。如果我们不了解中层水域中哪些事物正面临危险,就可能摧毁那些我们才刚刚开始研究的生态系统。)”可推知,作者表达了对深海采矿的担忧和反对态度。

【答案】One possible version:
Dear Chris,
You mentioned that some festival customs are changing — indeed, they are. Take the Spring Festival as an example. Traditionally, people set off firecrackers to celebrate. However, this custom is now changing.
In many cities, real fireworks have been replaced by electronic displays or cultural performances, which are safer and eco-friendlier. The changes mainly result from growing environmental awareness and government policies to reduce pollution and fire risks.
Personally, I welcome these changes, believing that they show the resilience of our culture. A festival’s true spirit lies in family reunion and gratitude, not in the noise or smoke.
Yours,
Li Hua

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。
On a hot summer afternoon, John, his wife Judy and ten-year-old son, Tommy, looked over the wall of their yard and watched curiously as the new neighbors moved their furniture into the house next door.
“Looks like they are from a very distant city?” Judy asked.
“Must be. Look at so many big bags. A bit much if you ask me,” John responded.
“Looks like there’s a kid there too. He looks like he’s my age,” Tommy said with excitement. Tommy and that boy shared a brief nod of acknowledgment. Tommy was very happy that he was about to have a new friend. At that moment, Tommy heard a loud shout from next door.
“Kevin! Stop staring off into the clouds and help your mother with the rest of the bags,” Kevin’s dad, Danny, told his son, seeing him staring at the neighbors next door. “Looks like we’ve got some nosy (好管闲事的) neighbors,” Danny added in a low voice.
However, Kevin’s mother, Cindy, did not agree with her husband. She thought this might be really good for their son Kevin, and that Kevin could even make friends with the boy next door. Since they had been very busy in the past, they were not familiar with their neighbors, and Kevin had few friends. So she thought this was a fresh start for them. She believed that they had nice neighbors, and they should grab (抓住) this chance.
A few days later, one afternoon, Kevin suddenly yelled in the yard, “Dad! Dad!”
“What’s wrong?” Danny asked, concerned.
“Over there! A dog in the yard!” Kevin whispered urgently, pointing to the dog.
“Are you okay?” Danny rushed out and asked.
“Yes, but the dog is making a mess of our yard,” Kevin replied.
Anger washed over Danny as he stepped in for a closer look and found a hole in the yard’s wall. Then he tried to calm himself, but found it difficult, wondering what to do.
注意:
(1) 续写词数应为150个左右;

Just before Danny and Kevin decided to take action, there was a knock at the yard’s door.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
Just before Danny and Kevin decided to take action, there was a knock at the yard’s door. They went to open the door and saw John and Tommy standing outside with a gift in Tommy’s hand. “This is for you. I’m sorry that my dog interrupted you and brought you some trouble.” Tommy apologized sincerely. Danny’s anger faded slowly when he heard their polite words and realized it was just an accident, not something done on purpose. And John also said they would have the wall repaired as soon as possible.
“How about tearing down the wall for our future family activities?” Danny suggested. He added that removing the wall would connect their yards, letting Tommy and Kevin play together freely and that it would also bring the two families much closer in the long run. John agreed at once with a warm smile, realizing this was indeed a wonderful fresh start for both families and feeling glad to meet such kind neighbors. The two boys cheered loudly, already looking forward to their new shared play area.
