B When Ar’reiona Green was accepted to Sacramento State last year, she knew she would need books and school supplies. She didn’t expect to need a toolbox. Or hangers. Or that her dorm room wouldn’t come with a fan. Having grown up in the foster (寄养) system, she found life as a college student mostly mysterious. That’s where Dec My Dorm stepped in. The program works with more than 140 foster youth headed to college, hosting an annual event in July to kit out each student with sheet sets, pillows and connections to other people in the same situation. Green took part in the summer of 2024, leaving with several bags filled with the things she needed, including many items she didn’t know she would need, like dish soap. The program started in 2018 when Jill Franklin, manager of the Independent Living Program in Los Angeles County, met a student who came from the foster system. This young student described arriving at the University of California at Berkeley with just a trash bag, not knowing that dorm rooms are spartan: a desk, a chair, a bed with an oddly sized mattress — and that’s it. Franklin started with a small Amazon wishlist and a handful of students. It was particularly important that the kids were involved in the process as much as possible, she said, because they were used to living in spaces that were not their own. If they could pick their own bedding and their own blankets, they would create a room that said, “This is who I am.” In 2022, she met Phyllis Shinbane from Connecting a Caring Community. Shinbane had been unaware that foster youth often have nothing they can bring with them to college, but realized this was a need she could help fill. Together, they raised more than $40,000 in donations in 2025. “It’s just leveling the playing field,” said Shinbane. “It’s just putting them in a room where they’re not different, and where their past doesn’t define them.” 24. What does Dec My Dorm provide for foster youth? A. Campus tours. B. Yearly scholarships. C. Room supplies. D. Academic guidance. 25. What does the underlined word “spartan” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Plain and basic. B. Modern and stylish. C. Small and crowded. D. Warm and personal. 26. Why were foster students encouraged to choose their own items? A. To improve their life skills. B. To keep dorm rooms in order. C. To make better use of donations. D. To give them a sense of identity. 27. What does Shinbane emphasize about the program? A. It gives students a fair start. B. It makes dorm life more fun. C. It helps build lasting friendships. D. It enables students to erase the past. C “What suburbia cries for are the means for people to gather easily, inexpensively, regularly, and pleasurably — a ‘place on the corner.’” With these words, American sociologist Ray Oldenburg captured the need for accessible and enjoyable social spaces. In his 1989 book The Great Good Place, he introduced the term “third place” as a way of describing “public places on neutral ground where people can gather and interact.” Unlike the home or work setting, these environments — from ancient public squares to today’s cafés — have long been essential hubs (中心) of connection, fostering a sense of belonging, lively interaction, and community spirit. However, the 21st century has witnessed a sharp decline in third places. Across England and Wales, more than one pub closed each day in 2024. Even where third places still exist, they are increasingly becoming what sociologist Marc Augé described as “non-places” — spaces dominated by consumerism. In these settings, people are no longer unique individuals but customers. When socialising comes with a high price tag, it is no surprise that people are opting to stay in and communal spaces are starting to disappear. Modern living is reshaping the way social spaces operate. As society moves from a culture centred around socialising to one consumed by productivity, even pubs have adapted — some now serving as remote workspaces where laptops are welcomed. Still, there is hope. Cities are rethinking their design through thoughtful and inclusive urban planning. “Whether it’s a simple bench on a high street or a large-scale pavilion (公共活动亭), we involve local groups, especially young people, in the design process,” says Akmaral Alexander, an architect from POoR Collective. “This approach not only gives people a sense of ownership but also shapes ordinary spaces in meaningful ways, enriching daily lives and strengthening communities.” 28. Which of the following might be an example of third places? A. Private gardens. B. Youth centres. C. Online classrooms. D. Government offices. 29. Why are third places increasingly becoming “non-places”? A. Rules there have become stricter. B. Events there have become formal. C. Design there has become outdated. D. Socialising there has become costly. 30. What is Akmaral Alexander’s approach to urban planning? A. Seeking community input. B. Expanding public facilities. C. Favoring safety over speed. D. Balancing form and function. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Nowhere to Go: The Disappearing Third Place B. The Great Good Place: Oldenburg’s Third Place C. Beyond Home and Work: The Benefits of Third Places D. Third Places: What Are They and Where to Find Them D Our oceans are full of sophisticated (精密的), perfect traps: nets, hooks, fishing lines. Designed to capture animals destined for our dinner tables, they often catch other wildlife too. This accidental harvest is known as bycatch, and every year it kills millions of marine animals. It is also a dilemma for fishermen, since trapped creatures can damage equipment, costing time and money. “There are not very many conservation issues where conservationists, consumers, fishermen and resource users all want the same thing,” says marine biologist Matthew Savoca. “Everyone involved wants less bycatch.” Some bycatch prevention methods have already shown promise in field trials. A study in northern Peru’s Sechura Bay, for example, showed a turtle bycatch reduction of more than 60% thanks to LED-illuminated (照明) nets. Another approach is pingers — devices attached to fishing gear that emit sounds to warn echolocating animals away. In three Norwegian fisheries, pingers reduced bycatch of harbor porpoise by 94%. But these solutions have yet to be implemented on a large scale. The devices can be expensive, and the methods are not without downsides. LED lights may reduce target fish catch. Pingers are also linked with an increase in bycatch of seals, which seem to associate the sound with a potential meal. A low-tech approach may help small-scale fisheries reduce the bycatch of echolocating animals: fixing plastic water bottles to their nets. Detecting thin, fine nets is difficult for echolocators like dolphins, but water bottles are a more easily detectable obstacle that could help them avoid the nets. For a solution to work, policies and regulations need to be in place and enforced. Just as important, preventive measures need to be practical for fishermen and not add extra time and money to do the job. As marine sustainability scientist Lekelia Jenkins says, the smaller the change, the more likely fishermen are to adopt it. The human side of the issue also needs to be acknowledged. “Emotionally, fishermen around the world are beat up and beat down,” Jenkins says. “We say, ‘You’re the problem. You’re catching sea turtles and whales.’” She suggests that fishermen should be empowered and included in the discussions and development of solutions. 32. Why does Matthew Savoca list different groups of people? A. To examine their different roles in bycatch. B. To stress their shared wish to reduce bycatch. C. To explain why bycatch prevention takes time. D. To show how widely bycatch is underestimated. 33. What makes LED lights a less attractive solution? A. Bringing up training costs. B. Attracting seals to fishing boats. C. Leading to a smaller desired catch. D. Making fishing nets harder to handle. 34. How do plastic bottles help reduce dolphin bycatch? A. By helping the nets float better. B. By marking the nets for fishermen. C. By helping dolphins sense the danger. D. By blocking dolphins’ swimming path. 35. What does Jenkins imply about fishermen? A. They are to blame for bycatch. B. They deserve a voice in decisions. C. They prefer simple fishing methods. D. They should leave solutions to experts. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 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。 How to Deal with a Social Loafer A “social loafer” is someone in a group who puts less effort into a shared task than expected. 36 When you spot a social loafer, what can you do? ● Understand “deindividuation”. “Deindividuation” refers to a loss of self-awareness and accountability in a group. 37 In the bystander effect, for instance, the presence of many people may weaken one’s sense of responsibility. Smaller-scale examples could include situations in friendship groups where someone may not step up to group tasks. Understanding “deindividuation” helps you recognise the psychological state behind a social loafer’s behaviour. ● 38 Researchers have established that there are two factors that drive an individual’s motivation: the individual’s expectations about achieving the goal and the perceived value of the goal. With this in mind, if there’s someone in your life who tends towards social loafing, highlighting the goal of what you want to achieve together could be a way of getting through to them. ● Set the tone. 39 If someone feels as though others in the group are loafing, they will also lower their effort to match. So keeping the enthusiasm up, and demonstrating your own commitment to achieving the shared goal, could be the key to motivating your social loafer. ● Be honest about how it’s impacting you. If someone’s loafing is affecting you, it’s always worth taking the time to be honest about how you’re feeling. 40 So, use this as a reminder to tune in to one another, reconnect, and get honest about what you need. When we’re all putting in effort, the load gets a lot lighter for everyone. A. Our energy is infectious. B. Help them find motivation. C. Make clear rules for everyone. D. They may have different strengths. E. This might occur in larger group settings. F. Even those who work hard on their own may behave this way. G. After all, this behaviour often comes from a sense of disconnection. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 One morning, my husband hurried into my office announcing that it was the day of the solar eclipse (日全食). “It’s going to be total in Poplar Bluff,” he 41 me. “Let’s go.” I had already 42 my schedule, so I had little enthusiasm for this 43 adventure. I impressed upon him that we had not 44 this trip, and I had work to do. My husband kept looking at me with puppy-dog eyes, 45 to go. In the end, I gave in. At least he would be 46 . After a four-hour 47 , we arrived in Poplar Bluff. When total coverage approached, people clapped and cheered. Then, I heard my husband say, “Look at the 48 .” I shot him a confused look. Almost everyone was looking up, yet he was pointing down. 49 his finger, I saw distinct, wavy bands of alternating light and dark floating at my feet. I was awestruck. 50 between two magical events, I kept putting on my glasses to watch the eclipse and taking them off to watch the bands. Before any of us were ready, the eclipse was 51 . Later we discovered that the shadow bands were a 52 occurrence, and we were lucky to witness them. If I had insisted on 53 my plans, I would have missed a natural wonder. Researchers say that experiencing awe can be a “ 54 ” for the brain, and that is what happened to me. Today, I am more 55 , and more aware that when you face the unknown, you learn new things. You learn about the world and yourself. 41.A. spotted B. joined C. informed D. persuaded 42.A. set B. checked C. cleared D. adjusted 43.A. long-awaited B. last-minute C. family-friendly D. life-changing 44.A. made B. skipped C. enjoyed D. planned 45.A. begging B. refusing C. pretending D. hesitating 46.A. right B. happy C. disappointed D. safe 47.A. debate B. interview C. drive D. appointment 48.A. sky B. glasses C. crowd D. ground 49.A.

Located 51.A. great B. over C. real D. complete 52.A. rare B. strange C. daily D. potential 53.A. setting aside B. calling off C. sticking to D. drawing up 54.A. mental block B. safety net C. reset button D. comfort zone 55.A. patient B. cautious C. organized D. flexible 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 “Everyone has a child inside,” says Cai Gao, the celebrated 79-year-old picture book artist who has spent decades nurturing her inner child and her work. This inner child has helped bring her to the peak of her career. On April 13, Cai became the first Chinese illustrator 56 (receive) the Hans Christian Andersen Award, the 57 (high) international honor given every other year to writers and illustrators of children’s books. The night she received the news, she thought not of the prize or 58 (she), but of the people and the land 59 shaped her. In her childhood, her grandmother often took her to see both local and 60 (visit) opera groups. This 61 (expose) allowed Cai to sketch the characters and preserve the performances in her memory. Despite never having the opportunity to attend art school, Cai regards her childhood experiences — listening to her grandmother’s nursery rhymes and watching theater plays — 62 the “best education”. These memories later found their way into her picture books. Among the works that most 63 (impress) the HCA jury (评审团) was the 2023 edition of Blazing City 1938. Cai hopes to convey the Chinese 64 (people) love for peace, a message she believes is increasingly important in today’s global context. “I hope the world can see more of the finest Chinese works 65 , through them, gain a better understanding of China,” Cai says. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 假定你是李华，你所在社区将开展志愿服务。你此前已邀请英国朋友Chris一同参与，但由于报名人数已达上限，本期名额已满。请给Chris写一封邮件，内容包括： 1．表达歉意并说明情况； 2．邀请他参加下一期活动。 注意： 1．写作词数应为80个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Chris, Yours, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） 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。 I worked for the Creekside Fire Department (CFD) in the town of Willow Creek, Missouri. One day, while we firefighters were tearing down an old warehouse, we found something interesting. It was red, but a faded, sorry sort of red. At first, we took it for a circus wagon. Then we noticed the faded letters on the side: CFD. So we brought it down to the fire station. After studying it for a while, our fire chief, Bud, had an idea. "Ward Paterson might be able to tell us something about it. He used to be a good mechanic here." Then I took a dozen photos of the wagon, printed them, and headed to the old Paterson place. When I arrived, I found Ward Paterson working in his barn. He was old — older than my grandfather. “It’s a pumper (消防水泵车)!” he told me as we sat on his front porch, looking at my pictures. A faraway look came into his eyes. “The CFD bought this pumper 80 years ago. On the day it was delivered, a crowd gathered at the train station to watch the fire crew unload it. It was shiny red with bright brass trimmings (黄铜配件). The men pulled it from the train station to the new fire station.” “The men pulled it? Didn’t they have horses to pull the thing?” I was amazed. Ward smiled. “Most of the time, it was pulled by manpower. It’s a real old-timer. For years, it was rushed to fires and helped protect people’s homes and lives. But the town was growing and needed something better. Eventually, the pumper was retired.” After a pause, I asked whether he could fix it and promised I would help. Ward thought for a moment and said, “I want to see it the way it was when it first came to Willow Creek.” His words stirred something in me: perhaps the whole town should see the pumper again. A motion picture formed in my head — the pumper, shiny and new, rolling down Main Street in the annual parade (游行). 注意： 1．写作词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 But restoring an 80-year-old pumper was never going to be easy. On the Parade Day, I took my place beside the shiny pumper, ready to pull. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
