For me, I’ve never passed one without stopping to look. Sometimes there are great finds, quite often there aren’t, but what matters is the possibility. Two years ago, I bought a free little library box in April. My husband and I — armed with online instructions, basic DIY skills, a 4×4 post, and overconfidence — tried installing (安装) it. We aimed to bury the post two feet deep but hit concrete. Unable to shorten it, we set it as deep as possible and supported it with rocks, leaving the library oddly high at 6.5 feet off the ground. Within a day of the installation, I saw a message — “Thank you” — pop up in our neighborhood Facebook group, announcing the arrival of our library. Each box has its own character on the inside. My neighbor’s box has become the place for romance paperbacks. Ours — my daughter’s hoped-for endless supply of kids’ books — tends to be older and more literary. But the books left in our library also tell us quiet stories of the people who live around us. Someone nearby is trying to understand an autistic (自闭症的) child. Someone needs the encouragement of self-help books. Someone tested out vegetarianism early in the year and changed their mind. Someone was feeling sad, but I like to think that now that they’ve given their books away, it’s because they’re okay. Not everything left for us is a winner, and our library garden needs weeding regularly. We have a standard to maintain. Occasionally I think of taking the books we’ve purchased ourselves to the used bookstore to take back the costs, but then I think of the gift I wouldn’t be giving to my neighborhood. I have great finds from mine and libraries all over because people chose to pass their purchases along. Better still, watching those people who stop and read in front of my house makes me endlessly happy; it’s a way that we connect to total strangers in this enormous city. 4. What does the author think important about neighborhood libraries? A. The Toronto’s tradition they reflect. B. The actual good books they provide. C. The hopeful possibilities they represent. D. The urban literary culture they symbolize. 5. What did the quick response in the neighborhood Facebook group indicate? A. Such libraries were in great need in the area. B. The community valued the new addition. C. The author’s DIY skills received public praise. D. The library’s unique look drew immediate attention. 6. What do the donated books reveal? A. The neighbors’ hidden chapters of life. B. The popularity of specific books. C. The literary taste of the local residents. D. The children’s preference for romance. 7. What is the author’s primary purpose in maintaining the library? A. To screen out worthless prints. B. To ensure a high literary standard. C. To collect various old materials. D. To build closer neighborly bonds. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述社区图书馆在多伦多十分普遍，作者在两年前安装了一个社区图书馆。尽管安装过程遇到困难，但图书馆受到社区居民关注。图书馆里捐赠的书籍反映了邻居们生活中的点滴，虽然不是所有书都令人满意，但作者认为维护图书馆能与陌生人建立联系，加强邻里关系，为社区带来希望和交流的机会。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Sometimes there are great finds, quite often there aren’t, but what matters is the possibility.(有时能找到好书，很多时候找不到，但重要的是这种可能性)”可知，作者认为社区图书馆重要的是它们所代表的充满希望的可能性，故选C项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Within a day of the installation, I saw a message — “Thank you” —pop up in our neighborhood Facebook group, announcing the arrival of our library.(安装后的一天内，我在社区的Facebook群组中看到一条消息——“谢谢”——弹出，宣告我们图书馆的到来)”可知，社区Facebook群组中的快速回应表明社区重视这个新加入的图书馆，故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But the books left in our library also tell us quiet stories of the people who live around us. Someone nearby is trying to understand an autistic (自闭症的) child. Someone needs the encouragement of self - help books. Someone tested out vegetarianism early in the year and changed their mind.(但是留在我们图书馆的书也向我们讲述了周围居民不为人知的生活故事。附近有人在努力理解一个自闭症儿童。有人需要自助书籍的鼓励。有人在年初尝试素食主义，后来改变了主意)”可知，捐赠的书籍揭示了邻居们生活中不为人知的篇章，故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Better still, watching those people who stop and read in front of my house makes me endlessly happy; it’s a way that we connect to total strangers in this enormous city.(更妙的是，看到那些在我家门前停下来阅读的人让我无比开心；这是我们在这个大城市里与完全陌生的人建立联系的一种方式)”可知，作者维护图书馆的主要目的是建立更紧密的邻里关系，故选D项。 C The age-old question of whether choice or effort holds greater significance in achieving success has generated countless debates. While some argue that effort is the cornerstone of achievement, others claim that the ability to make strategic choices is vital. Effort, without a doubt, is the engine that drives progress. The saying “no pain, no gain” rings true in countless success stories. Hard work and commitment are essential qualities that separate those who achieve from those who merely wish. Effort is the consistent application of willpower toward a goal, and it is this application that bridges the gap between intention and realization. However, the direction in which effort is applied is equally crucial, if not more so. This is where choice comes into play. A person can employ maximum effort in a field, but without a strategic choice, their efforts may produce minimal results. For instance, an individual might work tirelessly in a declining industry, but his hard work will likely be overshadowed by the industry's unavoidable downturn. On the contrary, someone who chooses a dynamic and growing field with a passion for it can achieve remarkable success with comparatively less effort. The ability to make informed and strategic choices can expand the impact of effort significantly. A well-chosen path provides focus and motivation, making the effort more meaningful and productive. For example, a student choosing a major that agrees with his interests and strengths will likely put in more effort and perform better than one who is forced into a field he dislikes. This encourages a deeper engagement. In addition, the sense of purpose generated by pursuing a meaningful personal path often translates into greater power in the face of setbacks, which is invaluable in both professional and personal fields. As I see it, while effort is undoubtedly a critical factor in achieving success, the importance of choice cannot be overstated. Effort is the vehicle, but choice is the compass (罗盘) that guides it. Without a strategic direction, effort may lead to exhaustion without accomplishment. 8. What is the role of effort in achieving success? A. It helps establish the right goals. B. It separates the types of success. C. It is the motor that promotes advancement. D. It ensures the positive attitude to hardships. 9. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Wise choices can boost the effect of effort. B. Declining industries should be avoided at all costs. C. Hard work guarantees success in growing industries. D. One should pursue maximum success with minimal effort. 10. What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. Making choices is more demanding than sustaining effort. B. People should avoid making choices to stop wasting effort. C. Good choices contribute greatly to individual development. D. Students are strongly recommended to choose popular majors. 11. What’s the author’s opinion about effort and choice? A. Effort is the only decisive factor. B. Over-effort leads to losing direction. C. Choice determines the level of efforts. D. Both are vital with choice guiding effort. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】主要围绕成功路上选择与努力孰轻孰重展开探讨，分析二者作用并阐明作者对此的个人观点。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Effort, without a doubt, is the engine that drives progress.(毫无疑问，努力是推动进步的动力。)”可知，努力在获取成功的过程中，是助力发展进步的推动力。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“The ability to make informed and strategic choices can expand the impact of effort significantly.(做出明智且战略性选择的能力，能够大幅放大努力带来的成效。)”可知，第三段主要讲述明智的选择可以提升努力的实际效果。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“A well-chosen path provides focus and motivation, making the effort more meaningful and productive.(选择合适的道路能够凝聚专注力、激发动力，让付出的努力更有意义、收获实效。)”以及下文列举的事例可知，恰当的选择能够极大地助力个人成长与发展。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是尾段中的“Effort is the vehicle, but choice is the compass (罗盘) that guides it. Without a strategic direction, effort may lead to exhaustion without accomplishment.(努力是前行的工具，而选择是指引方向的罗盘。缺少战略方向，付出再多心力也只会徒劳疲惫，难有所成。)”可知，努力和选择都至关重要。 D Though seemingly ordinary, bus stops are an essential part of any urban ecosystem. On the surface, they simply provide shelter for people waiting for the bus, but they can also be places for people to find information, socialize, and sometimes, even to experience art. Now, however, cities around the world are discovering another use for bus stops. According to The Washington Post, they are taking these structures that are essentially nothing more than three walls and a roof and turning them into homes for wildlife. Adding green roofs to bus stops was once simply a small initiative in the Netherlands. Now, however, the environmentally friendly innovation is spreading throughout Europe, North America, and Asia. So, why are so many cities building green bus stops? For one, they keep things cool, and not only because they provide commuters (通勤者) with shelter from the sun. Green roofs in general have been shown to reduce the urban heat island effect, and can lower the surrounding air temperature by 20 degrees Fahrenheit. Likewise, green bus stops, especially those planted with biodiverse, native plants, are a boon to local wildlife. For instance, in Utrecht, the green bus stops have been designed to create a belt of bee lines that provide the insects with consistent food. And in fact, the national bee census has been showing signs that the bee population in the city is growing. In 2022, researchers from the Society for the Protection of Underground Networks (SPUN), an organization devoted to the study and protection of the world’s mycorrhizae, a type of fungi (真菌), discovered that Utrecht’s network of green bus stop roofs were bursting with fungal biodiversity. “There’s something just so special about sitting underneath a biodiversity hotspot while waiting to go to work,” Justin Steward, a data scientist at SPUN, said of Utrecht’s fungi-rich bus stop gardens. Across the Atlantic, in Boston, green bus stops have been visited by more than just bees. “We’ve seen butterflies, bees, birds, even squirrels,” Zoe Davis, the city’s senior climate resilience project manager, told The Washington Post. 12. What can we learn about bus stops from paragraph 1? A. They have multiple functions. B. They threaten urban ecosystems. C. They require regular maintenance. D. They force wildlife to be relocated. 13. What does the underlined word “boon” probably mean in paragraph 4? A. Mystery. B. Luxury. C. Benefit. D. Innovation. 14. Why is Zoe Davis quoted in the text? A. To stress the value of wildlife conservation. B. To picture a harmonious future of urban life. C. To tell the necessity of attracting wildlife to cities. D. To prove the effect of green bus stops on biodiversity. 15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. How to Build Green Roofs on Bus Stops B. Why Commuters Advocate Green Bus Stops C. Green-roofed Bus Stops Are Spreading Faster D. Bus Stops Are Becoming a Biodiversity Hotspot 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要说明了全球多地公交站加装绿色屋顶，不仅为通勤者遮阳降温，还为蜜蜂、真菌等野生动植物提供栖息地，促进城市生物多样性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Though seemingly ordinary, bus stops are an essential part of any urban ecosystem. On the surface, they simply provide shelter for people waiting for the bus, but they can also be places for people to find information, socialize, and sometimes, even to experience art.(尽管看似普通，但公交站却是任何城市生态系统中不可或缺的一部分。从表面上看，它们仅仅为等待公交车的人们提供了遮蔽之处，但它们也可以是人们获取信息、进行社交以及有时还能欣赏艺术的场所)”可知，公交站的用处广泛。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“For instance, in Utrecht, the green bus stops have been designed to create a belt of bee lines that provide the insects with consistent food.(例如，在乌得勒支，这些绿色的公交站台被设计成一条蜜蜂通道带，为昆虫提供稳定的食物来源)”可知，公交站台为昆虫提供稳定的食物来源，说明绿色的公交站台对动物有好处。可知画线词的意思是“好处”。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““There’s something just so special about sitting underneath a biodiversity hotspot while waiting to go to work,” Justin Steward, a data scientist at SPUN, said of Utrecht’s fungi-rich bus stop gardens. Across the Atlantic, in Boston, green bus stops have been visited by more than just bees. “We’ve seen butterflies, bees, birds, even squirrels,” Zoe Davis, the city’s senior climate resilience project manager, told The Washington Post.(“坐在一个生物多样性热点区域下方等待上班，这种感觉真是太特别了。”SPUN 数据科学家贾斯汀·斯图尔特这样评价乌得勒支那些富含菌类的公交站花园。在大西洋彼岸的波士顿，绿色的公交站不仅吸引了蜜蜂的光顾。波士顿市高级气候适应项目负责人佐伊·戴维斯在接受《华盛顿邮报》采访时表示：“我们还看到了蝴蝶、蜜蜂、鸟类，甚至松鼠。”)”可知，Zoe Davis列举了在波士顿绿色公交站观察到的多种野生动物（蝴蝶、蜜蜂、鸟类、松鼠），其直接作用是用具体观察结果证明绿色公交站对生物多样性产生的影响。故文中引用了佐伊·戴维斯的话是为了证明绿色公交站对生物多样性的影响。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Now, however, cities around the world are discovering another use for bus stops. According to The Washington Post, they are taking these structures that are essentially nothing more than three walls and a roof and turning them into homes for wildlife.(然而，如今世界各地的城市都发现了公交站的新用途。据《华盛顿邮报》报道，人们将这些原本不过是由三面墙和一个屋顶构成的设施改造成野生动物的栖息地)”结合本文主要介绍了全球多地公交站正成为生物多样性的热点区域。D选项“公交站正逐渐成为生物多样性的重要区域”最符合文章标题。 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，并在答题卡上将该项 涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Cook Perfect Italian Pasta at Home Nowadays, many busy teenagers love convenient western food in daily life.

A 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了作者在老师帮助下克服自我怀疑，最终在英语写作比赛中获奖的成长故事。 【21题详解】 考查名词。句意：“重要的不是批评者，也不是指出强者是在哪里绊倒的人，或是实干家本可以在哪里做得更好的人。”这句语录一直是我最喜欢的，指引我度过高三最黑暗的时刻。A. task任务；B. quote语录，名言；C. blessing祝福；D. assessment评估。根据前文“It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled (绊脚), or where the doer of deeds could have done better”可知，前文引用了一段名言，此处指这段引语是作者的最爱。 【22题详解】 考查形容词。句意：同上。A. merriest最快乐的；B. proudest最自豪的；C. craziest最疯狂的；D. darkest最黑暗的。根据后文“Yet deep inside, I felt scared and was troubled by deep ____: I doubted whether I truly had the talent to stand out.”作者备战写作比赛时深陷自我怀疑和挣扎的描述可知，这是他高中时期的低谷期，此处指这段引语陪作者度过高中最黑暗的时期。 【23题详解】 考查名词。句意：然而在内心深处，我感到害怕，并被深深的不确定性所困扰：我怀疑自己是否真的有才华脱颖而出。A. uncertainty不确定性；B. curiosity好奇心；C. forgiveness原谅；D. unselfishness无私。根据后文“I doubted whether I truly had the talent to stand out.”可知，作者对自身能力感到不确定。 【24题详解】 考查动词。句意：我的作文被反复退稿，甚至我最亲密的朋友也低声说：“也许你还不够好。”A. recognized认可；B. recommended推荐；C. rejected拒绝，不录用；D. registered注册。根据后文“and even my closest friend whispered, “Maybe you’re just not good enough.” ”可知，朋友给出了负面评价，说明作者的作文没有被采纳、录用。 【25题详解】 考查动词。句意：这些否定的声音几乎淹没了我的勇气。A. inspired激励；B. confirmed确认；C. revealed揭示；D. drowned淹没，压过。根据空前“negative voice”和空后“courage”可知，消极的声音淹没了作者的勇气。 【26题详解】 考查形容词。句意：我在放弃和最后一次尝试之间左右为难。A. torn撕裂；B. forgotten忘记；C. pointed指出；D. emphasized强调。根据后文“between giving up and trying one last time.”可知，作者在放弃和最后一次尝试之间纠结，be torn between ... and ... 为固定搭配，意为“在……和……之间纠结，（在两者间）难以选择”。 【27题详解】 考查动词。句意：察觉到我的挣扎，格林老师把我拉到一边，坚定地说：“限制你的不是你的技能，而是你‘不够好’的恐惧。”A.

I’ve always been passionate about exploring and solving problems — whether fixing a broken toy or figuring out how a phone app works. This led me to join our school’s Coding (编程) Club. In our first lesson, Ms. Davis told us that coding is more than writing lines of code. It is about using technology to make life easier for others. “Your project,” she announced in class one day, “is to create a simple app that solves a real-life problem.” “You have one week to prepare,” She added gently, hoping this would give us enough time to find inspiration and finish the project. The challenge stayed with me as I walked to my neighbor Mrs. Thompson’s apartment after school. She had invited me for tea, as she often did on Tuesdays. Mrs. Thompson was kind and cheerful, but lately she had been a little forgetful, often misplacing her keys or repeating the same story twice without realizing it. When I arrived, she was in the kitchen. “Mae! Good timing,” she greeted me warmly, and then stopped, glancing at the kettle. “Did I already boil water for tea?” I checked the kettle — it was still warm. We laughed about it as I poured water, and soon we were chatting. Our conversation turned to her weekly book club with friends. Mrs. Thompson smiled, talking about her two old friends. Mr. Brown arrived late for the game, and Mrs. Smith failed to bring her glasses twice. “We’re quite a group,” she said. Then her expression grew thoughtful. “We manage, of course. But sometimes I think wouldn’t it be nice if something simply reminds us? Take medicine. Water the plants. Friday for book club.” She tapped her head with a soft laugh. Her words sank in. At that moment, an idea formed in my mind. As I stood up to leave, I smiled mysteriously, “Give me a few days, and I’ll bring you a little surprise.” “Oh? I’ll try not to forget that,” she laughed. 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。 That night, I sat at my desk, notebook open and mind racing with details. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, I presented my project to Ms. Davis. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 That night, I sat at my desk, notebook open and mind racing with details. I decided to design a gentle reminder app especially for the elderly. I listed simple functions: important dates, daily tasks, and warm notes. I focused on making the words big and the buttons easy to touch. Whenever I felt stuck, I thought of Mrs. Thompson’s kind smile and her wish for something to help her remember. I carefully tested every part again and again, making sure it was simple and helpful. Deep in my heart, I hoped this little app could bring convenience and warmth to her and more elderly people. A week later, I presented my project to Ms. Davis. I introduced the app’s purpose and showed how it worked. Ms. Davis praised my thoughtful idea and spoke highly of my project. After class, I brought the app to Mrs. Thompson. She was delighted and tried it at once. “This is exactly what I need,” she said happily. Watching her smile, I truly understood what Ms. Davis had meant: coding is not just code, but a way to use technology to care for others. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了主人公Mae加入编程俱乐部，需完成一个解决实际问题的App项目。她从健忘的邻居Mrs. Thompson的需求中获得灵感，设计了一款提醒类App，最终展示项目并理解了编程的意义 —— 用科技关爱他人。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那天晚上，我坐在书桌前，笔记本打开着，思绪在脑海中飞速运转，脑海中浮现着各种细节”可知，第一段可描写作者想专门为老人设计一款“提醒App”，并描写设计过程和决心。 ②由第二段首句内容“一周后，我向Davis女士展示了我的项目情况”可知，第二段可描写Davis女士对这款App的认可以及作者向Mrs. Thompson演示其使用方式，最后描写作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：明确设计理念，专为老人设计的一款“提醒App”—— 设计过程和决心 ——向Ms. Davis展示项目并获得认可 ——向Mrs. Thompson演示App的使用方法 —— 感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①决心做：decide to do/be determined to do/make up one’s mind to do ②测试、检验：test/check/examine ③专注于：focus on/share/concentrate on ④称赞：praise/think highly of/speak highly of 情绪类 ①高兴的：delighted/pleased/cheerful ②亲切的：kind/ genial 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B Neighborhood libraries—front-yard cupboards where strangers can leave and take books — have become so universal in Toronto that it is hard to remember a time when they didn’t exist. For me, I’ve never passed one without stopping to look. Sometimes there are great finds, quite often there aren’t, but what matters is the possibility. Two years ago, I bought a free little library box in April. My husband and I — armed with online instructions, basic DIY skills, a 4×4 post, and overconfidence — tried installing (安装) it. We aimed to bury the post two feet deep but hit concrete. Unable to shorten it, we set it as deep as possible and supported it with rocks, leaving the library oddly high at 6.5 feet off the ground. Within a day of the installation, I saw a message — “Thank you” — pop up in our neighborhood Facebook group, announcing the arrival of our library. Each box has its own character on the inside. My neighbor’s box has become the place for romance paperbacks. Ours — my daughter’s hoped-for endless supply of kids’ books — tends to be older and more literary. But the books left in our library also tell us quiet stories of the people who live around us. Someone nearby is trying to understand an autistic (自闭症的) child. Someone needs the encouragement of self-help books. Someone tested out vegetarianism early in the year and changed their mind. Someone was feeling sad, but I like to think that now that they’ve given their books away, it’s because they’re okay. Not everything left for us is a winner, and our library garden needs weeding regularly. We have a standard to maintain. Occasionally I think of taking the books we’ve purchased ourselves to the used bookstore to take back the costs, but then I think of the gift I wouldn’t be giving to my neighborhood. I have great finds from mine and libraries all over because people chose to pass their purchases along. Better still, watching those people who stop and read in front of my house makes me endlessly happy; it’s a way that we connect to total strangers in this enormous city. 4. What does the author think important about neighborhood libraries? A. The Toronto’s tradition they reflect. B. The actual good books they provide. C. The hopeful possibilities they represent. D. The urban literary culture they symbolize. 5. What did the quick response in the neighborhood Facebook group indicate? A. Such libraries were in great need in the area. B. The community valued the new addition. C. The author’s DIY skills received public praise. D. The library’s unique look drew immediate attention. 6. What do the donated books reveal? A. The neighbors’ hidden chapters of life. B. The popularity of specific books. C. The literary taste of the local residents. D. The children’s preference for romance. 7. What is the author’s primary purpose in maintaining the library? A. To screen out worthless prints. B. To ensure a high literary standard. C. To collect various old materials. D. To build closer neighborly bonds. C The age-old question of whether choice or effort holds greater significance in achieving success has generated countless debates. While some argue that effort is the cornerstone of achievement, others claim that the ability to make strategic choices is vital. Effort, without a doubt, is the engine that drives progress. The saying “no pain, no gain” rings true in countless success stories. Hard work and commitment are essential qualities that separate those who achieve from those who merely wish. Effort is the consistent application of willpower toward a goal, and it is this application that bridges the gap between intention and realization. However, the direction in which effort is applied is equally crucial, if not more so. This is where choice comes into play. A person can employ maximum effort in a field, but without a strategic choice, their efforts may produce minimal results. For instance, an individual might work tirelessly in a declining industry, but his hard work will likely be overshadowed by the industry's unavoidable downturn. On the contrary, someone who chooses a dynamic and growing field with a passion for it can achieve remarkable success with comparatively less effort. The ability to make informed and strategic choices can expand the impact of effort significantly. A well-chosen path provides focus and motivation, making the effort more meaningful and productive. For example, a student choosing a major that agrees with his interests and strengths will likely put in more effort and perform better than one who is forced into a field he dislikes. This encourages a deeper engagement. In addition, the sense of purpose generated by pursuing a meaningful personal path often translates into greater power in the face of setbacks, which is invaluable in both professional and personal fields. As I see it, while effort is undoubtedly a critical factor in achieving success, the importance of choice cannot be overstated. Effort is the vehicle, but choice is the compass (罗盘) that guides it. Without a strategic direction, effort may lead to exhaustion without accomplishment. 8. What is the role of effort in achieving success? A. It helps establish the right goals. B. It separates the types of success. C. It is the motor that promotes advancement. D. It ensures the positive attitude to hardships. 9. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Wise choices can boost the effect of effort. B. Declining industries should be avoided at all costs. C. Hard work guarantees success in growing industries. D. One should pursue maximum success with minimal effort. 10. What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. Making choices is more demanding than sustaining effort. B. People should avoid making choices to stop wasting effort. C. Good choices contribute greatly to individual development. D. Students are strongly recommended to choose popular majors. 11. What’s the author’s opinion about effort and choice? A. Effort is the only decisive factor. B. Over-effort leads to losing direction. C. Choice determines the level of efforts. D. Both are vital with choice guiding effort. D Though seemingly ordinary, bus stops are an essential part of any urban ecosystem. On the surface, they simply provide shelter for people waiting for the bus, but they can also be places for people to find information, socialize, and sometimes, even to experience art. Now, however, cities around the world are discovering another use for bus stops. According to The Washington Post, they are taking these structures that are essentially nothing more than three walls and a roof and turning them into homes for wildlife. Adding green roofs to bus stops was once simply a small initiative in the Netherlands. Now, however, the environmentally friendly innovation is spreading throughout Europe, North America, and Asia. So, why are so many cities building green bus stops? For one, they keep things cool, and not only because they provide commuters (通勤者) with shelter from the sun. Green roofs in general have been shown to reduce the urban heat island effect, and can lower the surrounding air temperature by 20 degrees Fahrenheit. Likewise, green bus stops, especially those planted with biodiverse, native plants, are a boon to local wildlife. For instance, in Utrecht, the green bus stops have been designed to create a belt of bee lines that provide the insects with consistent food. And in fact, the national bee census has been showing signs that the bee population in the city is growing. In 2022, researchers from the Society for the Protection of Underground Networks (SPUN), an organization devoted to the study and protection of the world’s mycorrhizae, a type of fungi (真菌), discovered that Utrecht’s network of green bus stop roofs were bursting with fungal biodiversity. “There’s something just so special about sitting underneath a biodiversity hotspot while waiting to go to work,” Justin Steward, a data scientist at SPUN, said of Utrecht’s fungi-rich bus stop gardens. Across the Atlantic, in Boston, green bus stops have been visited by more than just bees. “We’ve seen butterflies, bees, birds, even squirrels,” Zoe Davis, the city’s senior climate resilience project manager, told The Washington Post. 12.

I’ve always been passionate about exploring and solving problems — whether fixing a broken toy or figuring out how a phone app works. This led me to join our school’s Coding (编程) Club. In our first lesson, Ms. Davis told us that coding is more than writing lines of code. It is about using technology to make life easier for others. “Your project,” she announced in class one day, “is to create a simple app that solves a real-life problem.” “You have one week to prepare,” She added gently, hoping this would give us enough time to find inspiration and finish the project. The challenge stayed with me as I walked to my neighbor Mrs. Thompson’s apartment after school. She had invited me for tea, as she often did on Tuesdays. Mrs. Thompson was kind and cheerful, but lately she had been a little forgetful, often misplacing her keys or repeating the same story twice without realizing it. When I arrived, she was in the kitchen. “Mae! Good timing,” she greeted me warmly, and then stopped, glancing at the kettle. “Did I already boil water for tea?” I checked the kettle — it was still warm. We laughed about it as I poured water, and soon we were chatting. Our conversation turned to her weekly book club with friends. Mrs. Thompson smiled, talking about her two old friends. Mr. Brown arrived late for the game, and Mrs. Smith failed to bring her glasses twice. “We’re quite a group,” she said. Then her expression grew thoughtful. “We manage, of course. But sometimes I think wouldn’t it be nice if something simply reminds us? Take medicine. Water the plants. Friday for book club.” She tapped her head with a soft laugh. Her words sank in. At that moment, an idea formed in my mind. As I stood up to leave, I smiled mysteriously, “Give me a few days, and I’ll bring you a little surprise.” “Oh? I’ll try not to forget that,” she laughed. 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。 That night, I sat at my desk, notebook open and mind racing with details. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, I presented my project to Ms. Davis. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
