Sustainable Campus Initiative: Student Project Grants
The University Sustainability Office (USO) invites students to submit proposals for innovative projects aimed at reducing our carbon footprint. This initiative encourages students to think creatively about how they can make a tangible environmental impact on campus.
Grant Levels:
Seed Grant (Up to $ 500): This grant is designed for individuals who want to lead awareness campaigns or small-scale projects, such as pilot recycling programs or single-use plastic reduction campaigns. These initiatives can significantly raise awareness about sustainability issues among students and staff, providing the first step in broader environmental action.
Impact Grant ($ 501 - $3,000): For projects involving at least two departments, this grant supports collaborative efforts aimed at bringing about tangible changes in campus infrastructure. Examples include energy-saving lighting systems, waste diversion projects, or sustainability-focused renovations. The aim is to have measurable, long-lasting impact on the campus environment.
Legacy Grant ($ 3,000+): This grant supports long-term solutions that have the potential to be implemented across all campuses. Legacy projects must have clear, permanent environmental benefits and are expected to continue even after the initial funding period. These projects require the support of a faculty advisor, demonstrating their academic or institutional significance.
Key Dates (2026):
April 15: Proposal submission deadline.
May 10: Shortlisted candidates will be notified for an interview.
June 1: Funding awarded.
Evaluation Criteria:
Originality (30%): Does the project offer a fresh perspective that can inspire others?
Scalability (40%): Is there potential to expand this project to other campuses or institutions?
Cost-efficiency (30%): Do the environmental benefits justify the project’s budget and investment?
Note:
Projects that are purely theoretical without a practical application on campus will not be considered. All equipment purchased with the grant remains the property of the USO and must be used for the designated project.
1. What does a project need to get a Legacy Grant?
A. A plastic reduction campaign. B. A minimum two-year timeline.
C. A professional recommendation. D. A cross-departmental cooperation.
2. What is the primary focus of the “Scalability” criterion?
A. Balance between cost and benefits. B. Creativity behind the student’s idea.

【导语】文章主要介绍了大学可持续发展办公室推出的校园可持续发展学生项目资助计划,公布了2026年关键申请时间、评审标准,同时明确了不予受理的项目要求及资助设备归属规定。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文Legacy Grant ($ 3,000+)部分“These projects require the support of a faculty advisor, demonstrating their academic or institutional significance.(这类项目需要指导老师的支持,以此体现其学术或机构价值。)” 可知,申请传承资助项目需要专业老师的推荐支持。
【2题详解】

【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文Note部分“Projects that are purely theoretical without a practical application on campus will not be considered.(仅停留在理论层面、无法在校园实际落地的项目将不予受理。)” 可知,一篇关于全球变暖历史的学生论文纯属理论、无实际校园应用,很可能会被驳回。
“Dorothy, my father’s mom, was my biggest influence growing up. A home cook in the truest form, she taught me how to cook,” said Kaysen, who’s based in Minneapolis. “She loved taking care of us, cooking for us and showing me how.”
His parents both had demanding jobs, so Kaysen took on dinner duty to take one thing off their plates, tapping into what he learned from his grandma and bringing his family around the dinner table at the end of a long day.
One cold winter day decades ago, “Everyone came in from outside to warm up together over this meal,” he recalled. “I had already known that this meal felt like a hug in a bowl. But at that moment, it clicked that cooking can be the basis of connection.”
To this day, “I can feel her energy every time I cook and eat that dish.” Kaysen didn’t realize it at the time, but his grandmother was giving him a master class in key techniques that would serve him well in his cooking career. Chicken and dumplings displays how to make chicken stock, how to cut different shapes of vegetables, how to make a roux, and more, Kaysen said.
Sure, “there are a lot of similarities between how I cook in all areas of my life. At the end of the day, it’s all about nurturing people. Whether that’s in the kitchen in my house or at restaurants, that’s the goal. The only difference would be my kids are very quick to tell me if they do not like something,” Kaysen said, laughing.
As for chicken and dumplings, in Minnesota you can buy a ready-to-bake, single-serving chicken pot pie at Bellecour. It uses almost the same recipe, but instead of having dumplings mixed in, the filling is put inside a pastry crust. And anyone can make this dish at home using the recipe below, which Kaysen is glad to share.
“I think it’s extremely important to record and carry on family recipes. We are only as great as those who came before us, and I carry on my grandma’s memory through her recipes,” Kaysen said. “Everything I learn is on the shoulders of someone who came before me, and this is a way I can honor that.”
4. Why did Kaysen start to cook dinner for his family?
A. His grandma asked him to do so. B. His parents were too busy with work.
C. He wanted to practice cooking skills. D. His family liked his cooking.
5. What did Kaysen realize on that cold winter day?
A. Cooking can bring people together. B. Chicken and dumplings are delicious.
C. Winter is a good time to have hot meals. D. His grandma’s cooking was the best.
6. What does the underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. The family connection. B. The earlier generations
C. The grandmother’s memory. D. The cooking skill.
7. What is the text?
A. A novel. B. An advertisement. C. A news report. D. A biography.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述凯森受祖母影响学会烹饪,领悟美食维系亲情的意义,并坚持传承家族菜谱的温暖故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“His parents both had demanding jobs, so Kaysen took on dinner duty to take one thing off their plates, tapping into what he learned from his grandma and bringing his family around the dinner table at the end of a long day. (凯森的父母工作都十分繁重,于是他主动承担起做晚饭的任务,为父母减轻一份负担。他运用从祖母那里学到的厨艺,让一家人在漫长忙碌的一天结束后,能围坐餐桌共享晚餐。)”可知,父母工作忙碌繁重,是他开始为家人做饭的原因。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“But at that moment, it clicked that cooking can be the basis of connection.(但就在那一刻,他突然明白,烹饪可以成为人与人之间情感联结的纽带。)”可知,那个寒冷冬日,他意识到烹饪能够凝聚人心、拉近彼此距离。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段中的“I carry on my grandma’s memory through her recipes,” Kaysen said. “Everything I learn is on the shoulders of someone who came before me, and this is a way I can honor that.(我通过祖母的食谱延续对她的回忆。我所学的一切都得益于前人的积累,而这是一种向那致敬的方式。)”可知,前文指出作者依靠传承食谱留住祖母的回忆,本句用that指代上文重复出现的核心名词grandma’s memory。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,文章围绕凯森的个人成长、祖母对他的影响、烹饪经历与人生感悟展开,讲述个人生平相关经历与思想,结合文体特征可知,本文属于人物传记类文章。
Nowadays, various forms of technology and their applications have transformed our teenagers’ lives and our experiences as parents, most often not for the better. As the parent of a 10-year-old and a 14-year-old, I can say that not a week has gone by in nearly a decade that the use of such technologies hasn’t led to some form of disagreement. And at this point it’s clear that such is the experience of households all over the country. Endless elements of day-to-day life, including especially for young people learning and socialization, have been negatively impacted.
That’s why I am drawn to Jonathan Haidt’s work, The Amazing Generation. The first part includes background information on the rise of smartphones and the “attention economy”. It also has many infographics (信息图) and visuals, including one of my favorites, “Screen Time Calculator That You Can Use to Shock People. ” “1 hour per day=15 full days per year. 2 hours per day=1 full month per year. Etc.” This is a page I wouldn’t mind seeing hung on classroom walls, including the college classrooms where I teach.
The second part is a fictional story about six young people. In one scene, heavy social media user Alex finally joins his phone-free friend Jax at a skate park. Then, we see Jax trying out different skating skills in the background, by the end falling onto the ground after another heroic attempt, which are in contrast to Alex’s phone screen, which he has been glued to, from a nearby bench, first searching for skating tips then watching world championship skating highlights. The author ends by noting that while it is often thrilling to have the world at your fingertips, it’s hard to deny the losses that accumulate when real life trial-and-error is replaced by passive viewing.
That’s what The Amazing Generation can do — get young people thinking more critically about the products that shape their everyday lives.
8. What can we learn about the author’s family from paragraph 1?
A. They look down upon each other’s learning ability.
B. Arguments constantly occur over the use of technology.
C. Disagreement mostly happens between the two children.
D. They envy the harmonious relationship in other households.
9. What is Screen Time Calculator about?
A. The key to learning math. B. The value of teenagers’ time.
C. The art of classroom management. D. The amount of time spent on technology.
10. What does Jonathan Haidt intend to show by using the story of Jax and Alex?
A. In-person experience matters a lot. B. Training without guidance leads nowhere.
C. Too much screen time does harm to eyesight. D. Champions’ experience is helpful for beginners.
11. Which of the following best describe The Amazing Generation?
A. Plain and amusing. B. Boring and hard to understand.
C. Practical and educational. D. Imaginative and well-received.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】科技负面影响青少年生活,作者推荐《The Amazing Generation》一书,以数据和故事警示沉迷屏幕的危害,启发年轻人理性看待电子产品。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“As the parent of a 10-year-old and a 14-year-old, I can say that not a week has gone by in nearly a decade that the use of such technologies hasn’t led to some form of disagreement. (作为一个10岁孩子和14岁孩子的家长,我可以说,近十年来几乎没有哪一周,不因这类电子产品的使用而产生某种争执。)”可知,作者家里经常因使用电子产品发生争吵。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“1 hour per day=15 full days per year. 2 hours per day=1 full month per year. Etc.(每天1小时,一年就等于整整15天;每天2小时,一年就相当于整整一个月;以此类推。)”可知,屏幕时间计算器用来换算人们耗费在电子产品上的时长。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The author ends by noting that while it is often thrilling to have the world at your fingertips, it’s hard to deny the losses that accumulate when real life trial-and-error is replaced by passive viewing.(作者在文末指出,虽然触手可及便能知晓世间万物往往令人心生愉悦,但不可否认,当现实生活中的亲身尝试与试错被被动浏览所取代时,我们正在不断失去一些东西。)”可知,作者借两人故事意在说明亲身现实体验十分重要。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“This is a page I wouldn’t mind seeing hung on classroom walls, including the college classrooms where I teach.(这是一张我愿意看到挂在教室墙上的页面,包括我任教的大学课堂也是如此)”和最后一段“That’s what The Amazing Generation can do — get young people thinking more critically about the products that shape their everyday lives.(这正是《The Amazing Generation》所能做到的 —— 让年轻人更具批判性地思考那些塑造他们日常生活的各类产品。)”可知,这本书实用且具有教育意义。
Black Friday isn’t what it once was. Less than 15 years ago, it was common for people to wake up at early hours to drive to a store, where they would stand in line, waiting for the doors to open in order to get the best deals.
Those people stay, but not in the numbers they used to, thanks to online shopping. But as AI becomes fixed in people’s habits, it could have an increasingly large role in Black Friday.
A growing number of buyers will be depending on AI to help them find deals. Some 33% of the people in a 2025 survey said they plan to use AI as part of their holiday shopping double the number who did last year. Many say the tech could help them with gift ideas and product discovery. A separate study from another marketing platform (平台) found that 56% of buyers say they’ll use AI tools among Black Friday.
AI can do a lot more than help people think of creative gifts, of course. GenAI can research prices and recommend the best deal, in some cases even buying the products for you. And a growing number of people are taking advantage of that. Traffic from AI platforms to retail (零售) sites in July was up by 4,700%, according to Adobe Analytics. And the company says there will be an increase in AI usage of between 515% and 550% this holiday season, compared to 2024.
To use AI for finding deals, first make a clear list or what you want to buy. Be very specific about the product details when asking the chatbot. For example, if you want a computer, mention the exact model and your preferences. The AI will then search for the best prices and may also suggest cash-back apps. However, always check the results on the store’s website yourself, as prices can change quickly. This method saves you time and makes holiday shopping easier.
12. What do we know about Black Friday from the first two paragraphs?
A. It was started about 15 years ago. B. It has been influenced by the Internet.
C. It changes people’s shopping habits. D. It has become less popular than before.
13. How does the author describe the growing trend of using AI while shopping?
A. By listing figures. B. By quoting experts.
C. By defining concepts. D. By comparing platforms.
14. What does the author suggest readers do with AI tools in the last paragraph?
A. Rely on the results entirely. B. Reconsider your own preferences.
C. Take the unstable prices into account. D. Check the cash- back apps regularly.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. AI: a decision- maker in pricing B. AI: a game-changer for shopping
C. Online shopping: a thing of the past D. Online shopping: a booming industry
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】

【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Black Friday isn’t what it once was. Less than 15 years ago, it was common for people to wake up at early hours to drive to a store, where they would stand in line, waiting for the doors to open in order to get the best deals.(黑色星期五已今非昔比。不到15年前,人们常常会在清晨就起床,驱车前往商店,然后排队等候商店开门,以便能买到最优惠的商品)”及第二段“Those people stay, but not in the numbers they used to, thanks to online shopping. But as AI becomes fixed in people’s habits, it could have an increasingly large role in Black Friday.(这些人还是会购物,但数量已不如从前。这要归功于网络购物。但随着AI逐渐融入人们的购物习惯中,它在“黑色星期五”期间的作用可能会愈发重要)”可知,前两段告诉我们黑色星期五的购物方式受到互联网尤其是AI发展的影响。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Some 33% of the people in a 2025 survey said they plan to use AI as part of their holiday shopping double the number who did last year. Many say the tech could help them with gift ideas and product discovery. A separate study from another marketing platform (平台) found that 56% of buyers say they’ll use AI tools among Black Friday. (在2025年的一项调查中,33%的人表示他们计划将人工智能作为节日购物的一部分,这一比例是去年的两倍。许多人表示,这项技术可以帮助他们找到礼物灵感和发现产品信息。另一家营销平台的一项独立研究发现,56%的购物者会在黑色星期五使用人工智能工具)”可推知,作者描述在购物过程中使用AI这一日益流行的趋势时使用了列数字的方法。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, always check the results on the store’s website yourself, as prices can change quickly. This method saves you time and makes holiday shopping easier.(但请务必亲自在商店的网站上核实结果,因为价格可能会迅速变化。这种方法能为你节省时间,让假日购物变得更加轻松)”可推知,作者建议人们要将不稳定的物价因素考虑在内。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Those people stay, but not in the numbers they used to, thanks to online shopping. But as AI becomes fixed in people’s habits, it could have an increasingly large role in Black Friday.(虽然那些人依然会光顾实体店,但人数已远不及从前。这要归功于网络购物。但随着AI逐渐融入人们的购物习惯,它在黑色星期五中可能会发挥越来越重要的作用)”并纵观全文可知,作者从黑色星期五引入人们的购物模式,但目的是为了引出主题即AI的发展和应用改变了人们的购物方式。由此可知,AI: a game-changer for shopping(AI:购物领域的变革者)适合作本文最佳标题。故选B项。
二、七选五
Forest bathing is the practice of immersing (沉浸) yourself in nature in a mindful way. It is also known as Shinrin-yoku. ___16___ The idea took birth in Japan in the 1980s and proved to be a very effective way to overcome the ill effects of a busy life and stressful work environment.

Once you’ve arrived at your destination, take a few deep breaths and center yourself. ___19___ Sit and watch how the trees sway (摇摆) in the wind or simply walk around. If you decide to walk, go at an easy pace and without a specific destination in mind.
___20___ If you don’t have that much time to spare, that’s OK. You can start with a shorter amount of time. Plus, the goal of forest bathing is to relax and it should be an activity you look forward to and enjoy.

___________________________________________________________

【解析】
【详解】考查现在分词作伴随状语。句意:在农历新年前夕,所有的家庭都聚在一起,吃一顿丰盛的晚餐。原句中“gather around”和“have a big dinner”这两个动作同时发生,是并列谓语,可去掉连词and,将“have a big dinner”处理为伴随状语,动词have与其逻辑主语all the families之间是主动关系,用现在分词having表主动和伴随。故填:On the eve of Chinese New Year, all the families gather around, having a big dinner.
76. 烟花正在被燃放,突然间点亮了整个夜空。(被动语态;分词作伴随状语)(汉译英)
_____________________________
【答案】Fireworks were being let off, suddenly lighting up the night sky.
【解析】
【详解】考查动词、短语、时态、语态以及非谓语动词。表示“烟花”应用名词firework,其复数形式fireworks表示“烟花表演”或“多个烟花”,在句中作主语;表示“燃放”短语为let off,与主语fireworks之间为被动关系,所以应用被动语态be let off,根据语境可知,句子描述的是过去正在发生的动作,应用过去进行时的被动语态,所以be动词用were;表示“点亮”短语为light up,与fireworks之间为主动关系,所以用现在分词形式作状语;表示“整个夜空”短语为the night sky,作light up的宾语。结合其他汉语提示,故翻译为Fireworks were being let off, suddenly lighting up the night sky.

“Dorothy, my father’s mom, was my biggest influence growing up. A home cook in the truest form, she taught me how to cook,” said Kaysen, who’s based in Minneapolis. “She loved taking care of us, cooking for us and showing me how.”
His parents both had demanding jobs, so Kaysen took on dinner duty to take one thing off their plates, tapping into what he learned from his grandma and bringing his family around the dinner table at the end of a long day.
One cold winter day decades ago, “Everyone came in from outside to warm up together over this meal,” he recalled. “I had already known that this meal felt like a hug in a bowl. But at that moment, it clicked that cooking can be the basis of connection.”
To this day, “I can feel her energy every time I cook and eat that dish.” Kaysen didn’t realize it at the time, but his grandmother was giving him a master class in key techniques that would serve him well in his cooking career. Chicken and dumplings displays how to make chicken stock, how to cut different shapes of vegetables, how to make a roux, and more, Kaysen said.
Sure, “there are a lot of similarities between how I cook in all areas of my life. At the end of the day, it’s all about nurturing people. Whether that’s in the kitchen in my house or at restaurants, that’s the goal. The only difference would be my kids are very quick to tell me if they do not like something,” Kaysen said, laughing.
As for chicken and dumplings, in Minnesota you can buy a ready-to-bake, single-serving chicken pot pie at Bellecour. It uses almost the same recipe, but instead of having dumplings mixed in, the filling is put inside a pastry crust. And anyone can make this dish at home using the recipe below, which Kaysen is glad to share.
“I think it’s extremely important to record and carry on family recipes. We are only as great as those who came before us, and I carry on my grandma’s memory through her recipes,” Kaysen said. “Everything I learn is on the shoulders of someone who came before me, and this is a way I can honor that.”
4. Why did Kaysen start to cook dinner for his family?
A. His grandma asked him to do so. B. His parents were too busy with work.
C. He wanted to practice cooking skills. D. His family liked his cooking.
5. What did Kaysen realize on that cold winter day?
A. Cooking can bring people together. B. Chicken and dumplings are delicious.
C. Winter is a good time to have hot meals. D. His grandma’s cooking was the best.
6. What does the underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. The family connection. B. The earlier generations
C. The grandmother’s memory. D. The cooking skill.
7. What is the text?
A. A novel. B. An advertisement. C. A news report. D. A biography.
Nowadays, various forms of technology and their applications have transformed our teenagers’ lives and our experiences as parents, most often not for the better. As the parent of a 10-year-old and a 14-year-old, I can say that not a week has gone by in nearly a decade that the use of such technologies hasn’t led to some form of disagreement. And at this point it’s clear that such is the experience of households all over the country. Endless elements of day-to-day life, including especially for young people learning and socialization, have been negatively impacted.
That’s why I am drawn to Jonathan Haidt’s work, The Amazing Generation. The first part includes background information on the rise of smartphones and the “attention economy”. It also has many infographics (信息图) and visuals, including one of my favorites, “Screen Time Calculator That You Can Use to Shock People. ” “1 hour per day=15 full days per year. 2 hours per day=1 full month per year. Etc.” This is a page I wouldn’t mind seeing hung on classroom walls, including the college classrooms where I teach.
The second part is a fictional story about six young people. In one scene, heavy social media user Alex finally joins his phone-free friend Jax at a skate park. Then, we see Jax trying out different skating skills in the background, by the end falling onto the ground after another heroic attempt, which are in contrast to Alex’s phone screen, which he has been glued to, from a nearby bench, first searching for skating tips then watching world championship skating highlights. The author ends by noting that while it is often thrilling to have the world at your fingertips, it’s hard to deny the losses that accumulate when real life trial-and-error is replaced by passive viewing.
That’s what The Amazing Generation can do — get young people thinking more critically about the products that shape their everyday lives.
8. What can we learn about the author’s family from paragraph 1?
A. They look down upon each other’s learning ability.
B. Arguments constantly occur over the use of technology.
C. Disagreement mostly happens between the two children.
D. They envy the harmonious relationship in other households.
9. What is Screen Time Calculator about?
A. The key to learning math. B. The value of teenagers’ time.
C. The art of classroom management. D. The amount of time spent on technology.
10. What does Jonathan Haidt intend to show by using the story of Jax and Alex?
A. In-person experience matters a lot. B. Training without guidance leads nowhere.
C. Too much screen time does harm to eyesight. D. Champions’ experience is helpful for beginners.
11. Which of the following best describe The Amazing Generation?
A. Plain and amusing. B. Boring and hard to understand.
C. Practical and educational. D. Imaginative and well-received.
Black Friday isn’t what it once was. Less than 15 years ago, it was common for people to wake up at early hours to drive to a store, where they would stand in line, waiting for the doors to open in order to get the best deals.
Those people stay, but not in the numbers they used to, thanks to online shopping. But as AI becomes fixed in people’s habits, it could have an increasingly large role in Black Friday.
A growing number of buyers will be depending on AI to help them find deals. Some 33% of the people in a 2025 survey said they plan to use AI as part of their holiday shopping double the number who did last year. Many say the tech could help them with gift ideas and product discovery. A separate study from another marketing platform (平台) found that 56% of buyers say they’ll use AI tools among Black Friday.
AI can do a lot more than help people think of creative gifts, of course. GenAI can research prices and recommend the best deal, in some cases even buying the products for you. And a growing number of people are taking advantage of that. Traffic from AI platforms to retail (零售) sites in July was up by 4,700%, according to Adobe Analytics. And the company says there will be an increase in AI usage of between 515% and 550% this holiday season, compared to 2024.
To use AI for finding deals, first make a clear list or what you want to buy. Be very specific about the product details when asking the chatbot. For example, if you want a computer, mention the exact model and your preferences. The AI will then search for the best prices and may also suggest cash-back apps. However, always check the results on the store’s website yourself, as prices can change quickly. This method saves you time and makes holiday shopping easier.
12. What do we know about Black Friday from the first two paragraphs?
A. It was started about 15 years ago. B. It has been influenced by the Internet.
C. It changes people’s shopping habits. D. It has become less popular than before.
13. How does the author describe the growing trend of using AI while shopping?
A. By listing figures. B. By quoting experts.
C. By defining concepts. D. By comparing platforms.
14. What does the author suggest readers do with AI tools in the last paragraph?
A. Rely on the results entirely. B. Reconsider your own preferences.
C. Take the unstable prices into account. D. Check the cash- back apps regularly.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. AI: a decision- maker in pricing B. AI: a game-changer for shopping
C. Online shopping: a thing of the past D. Online shopping: a booming industry
