Tejasvi Manoj, a 17-year-old senior at Lebanon Trail High School in Frisco, Texas, has been named the 2025 TIME Kid of the Year for her innovative work protecting seniors from online scams (诈骗). Out of 74 million children in the U.S., Manoj stood out for creating Shield Seniors, a website designed to help older adults recognize and report cheating emails and texts.
The inspiration for Shield Seniors started in February 2024, when Manoj, then a 16-year-old junior, learned that her 85-year-old grandfather had nearly fallen victim to an email scam requesting $ 2,000. Her father stepped in, confirming with her uncle that the request was cheating. Alarmed by the incident, Manoj researched cybercrime and discovered that scams targeting seniors caused nearly $ 5 billion in losses in 2024.
Determined to act, Manoj built Shield Seniors, a site that allows users to upload suspicious messages for analysis and provides links to report scams. Still in private preview mode requiring further development and funding, the website has already earned her an honorable mention in the 2024 Congressional App Challenge. Manoj has also delivered a talk at local senior living facilities about cybercrime prevention. “I remember going to my first speech, and I was super nervous,” Manoj said. “What if no one shows up? What if I totally mess up?” Her fears were unfounded. There were so many people who were really interested — taking notes on their notepads.
“This is supposed to bring people a sense of ’You’re not alone,’” Manoj said. “A lot of people are embarrassed that they got scammed, but this isn’t something you should be embarrassed about. It’s just a learning experience. You should report it to help make sure it doesn’t happen to anyone else.”
Manoj’s coding (编码) skills, developed since eighth grade through cybersecurity classes were critical to building Shield Seniors. “I really love the fact that you can solve problems with your computer, and I really like creating,” she said. Beyond her tech achievements, Manoj also plays violin in her school band and volunteers extensively.
24. Why did Manoj create Shield Seniors?
A. To win a national technology competition. B. To help her grandfather recover lost money.
C. To develop her potential skills in cybersecurity. D. To prevent seniors from experiencing online scams.
25. What does the underlined word “suspicious” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Questionable. B. Convincing. C. Exceptional. D. Complex.
26. Which of the following words can best describe Manoj?
A. Brave and ambitious. B. Generous and cooperative.
C. Creative and caring. D. Enthusiastic and demanding.
27. What’s the best title for the text?
A. An Activity for Preventing Online Scams B. A Teen Named 2025 TIME Kid of the Year
C. How a Teenager Was Acknowledged by TIME D. How a Student Built a Website for the Seniors
C
In early 2023, the editors of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) decided to not only include poems in their highly respected professional publication but also publish commentaries analyzing each poem’s theme, context, and relevance to physical or mental health. This decision was based on several studies showing that beyond enjoyment and entertainment, both patients and their healthcare providers can find comfort and meaning in poetry.
Though poetry falls under the humanities, and often focuses on the themes of love and nature, it has a strong historical link to science and medicine. In fact, several well-known poets, most notably John Keats and William Carlos Williams, were also practicing physicians, transforming the pain they witnessed and experienced into beautiful written works. Similarly, many novelists and writers, including John Updike and Clive James, turned to poetry to express themselves when they fell ill.
In a study aiming to promote empathy (同理心) in mental health care, over 90 psychiatric (精神科的) nursing students were asked to write simple poems about their feelings toward mental health and related services. Their writings mostly reflected emotions like sadness, fear, suffering, and hatred. At the same time, the researchers found common themes of peace, respect, empathy, pride, affection, and love in the students’ poetry.
Such a task of students’ work helps medical educators improve students’ viewpoint on mental illness, convey mentally ill patients’ deep emotional needs, enhance students’ empathy, and support their personal and professional growth by suggesting interventions that address both clinical concerns and patients’ innermost feelings.
As a form of artistic expression and emotional revelation, poetry encourages self-reflection, promotes self-awareness, and lightens bad emotions. Poetry therapist (治疗师) Geraldine Chavis, former president of the National Association for Poetry Therapy, has long used reading and writing poetry and other forms of literature to help clients express and identify their feelings and actively participate in creative problem-solving of their issues. “Poetry therapists recognize that an untold number of poets are unconsciously acting as consultants for people they will never meet or see,” he said.
28. Why did the editors of JAMA decide to include poems and commentaries in their publication?
A. To increase the journal’s popularity.
B. To promote the spread of poetry culture.
C. To convey pleasure and emotional support.
D. To meet the demand of medical workers.
29. What’s the primary purpose of paragraph 2?
A. To demonstrate a previous argument. B. To add more background information.
C. To stress poets’ contribution to medicine. D. To explain the development of poetry.
30. How does writing poems benefit medical education according to the text?
A. It improves teacher-student relationships.
B. It can lower students’ homework burden.
C. It makes students strict with their practice.
D. It helps students understand patients better.
31. Which of the following statements may Geraldine Chavis agree with?
A. Poetry is a valuable healing tool.
B. Poets tend to have no mental disorders.
C. Poets are the most professional therapists.
D. Writing poetry requires careful instruction.
D
Exciting news from the University of Waterloo! A team of committed researchers, led by PhD student Wei Wei, has made a remarkable discovery that holds the potential to transform plastic waste into acetic acid (醋酸) — the main ingredient of vinegar — using the power of sunlight.
Dr. Yimin Wu, a professor at the university, expressed their inspiring vision, stating, “Our goal was to solve the plastic pollution challenge by changing microplastic waste into high-value products using sunlight.” This mission is especially significant as plastic waste, particularly microplastics, has spread across ecosystems worldwide, raising serious concerns about its impact on both wildlife and human health.
With global plastic recycling rates still falling behind, this research team has stepped up to the challenge. They have developed a pioneering bio-inspired photocatalysis (光催化) method using special iron atoms (原子). This technique copies how certain fungi (真菌) break down organic matter, showing the creativity of nature.
When exposed to sunlight, the material drives a series of chemical reactions that transform plastic into acetic acid with high selectivity. The reaction takes place in water, which is particularly relevant for addressing plastic pollution in waters.
The study reveals that this method can effectively produce acetic acid from common plastics and it works well even with mixed plastic types. This adaptability makes the approach a promising alternative to traditional plastic burning, supporting more sustainable material use and offering a fresh strategy for upcycling.
Roy Brouwer, coauthor of the research, highlights the benefits of this innovation, noting, “Both from a business and societal perspective, the financial and economic benefits associated with this innovation seem promising.”
The research findings also open up exciting new avenues for directly addressing microplastics. By breaking down plastics at the chemical level, this process could play a crucial role in preventing the build-up of microplastics in our water systems.
While still at the laboratory stage, the team envisions that this approach could be adapted for scalable, broader environmental cleanup and the photocatalytic upcycling system can be further enhanced.
32. What drove the research team’s initial study?
A. Rising recycling rates of plastic. B. Business profits from acetic acid.
C. Discovery of sunlight’s chemical power. D. Plastic pollution’s widespread harm.
33. What does paragraph 3 mainly focus on?
A. The challenge of plastic recycling. B. The potential of natural power.
C. The inspiration and nature of the method. D. The role of iron atoms in the approach.
34. What can we learn about the photocatalysis method?
A. It can completely remove microplastics. B. It is applicable to various plastics.
C. It breaks down plastics faster than burning. D. It increases the cost of upcycling.
35. What does the team expect of their study?
A. Being used on a larger scale. B. Finding a market for acetic acid.
C. Helping reduce chemical use. D. Putting the method into use immediately.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I looked at the brochure for Ballston Spa High School. “I don’t want to go to this school,” I said. “I hate it here. I have no friends, and I have nothing to do.”
My parents exchanged glances (眼神). We had moved from New Jersey to New York just a week before. Sighing, my mom turned to me from the front seat. “Can’t you try to look at the bright side?”
“It’s different living here. I want to go home.”
The car fell silent. We drove into Yaddo Gardens for a picnic, but my bad mood spoiled everything. As we laid out the blanket, we saw volunteers working in the gardens. My dad started talking to a woman named Vera, who told us they worked every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday morning. My dad, noticing my low spirits, suggested I join the gardening team.
Before I knew it, I was there early on a Tuesday morning. I struggled with heavy tools. Vera introduced me to John, the head gardener. He was eighty-one but still full of energy, moving around the garden with ease.
“Dana, come here!” He showed me a beautiful flower, but when he touched it, the petals (花瓣) fell apart. “Looks alive, but it’s actually dead,” he said. Then he pointed to a bush that looked stick-like and flowerless. “This one will bloom in a few days. Just wait.”
Over the next several months, I came to the gardens regularly. John taught me about roses and life. During breaks, we would chat and discuss everything from mountains to middle school, laughing and learning the joys of a friendship across generations.
One day, I told him my fear about starting school. “What if I have no friends?” Instead of saying something, John led me to a terrace (观景台) overlooking the garden. He explained that the garden was designed so that from a certain angle, all beds looked the same size. “It’s called perspectivism,” he said. “You can look at your new school as something scary, or as an opportunity. The choice is yours.”
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The first day of school arrived, and I stood at the gate, remembering John’s words.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Three months later, I saw John again at the Yaddo Gardens celebration.

Tejasvi Manoj, a 17-year-old senior at Lebanon Trail High School in Frisco, Texas, has been named the 2025 TIME Kid of the Year for her innovative work protecting seniors from online scams (诈骗). Out of 74 million children in the U.S., Manoj stood out for creating Shield Seniors, a website designed to help older adults recognize and report cheating emails and texts.
The inspiration for Shield Seniors started in February 2024, when Manoj, then a 16-year-old junior, learned that her 85-year-old grandfather had nearly fallen victim to an email scam requesting $ 2,000. Her father stepped in, confirming with her uncle that the request was cheating. Alarmed by the incident, Manoj researched cybercrime and discovered that scams targeting seniors caused nearly $ 5 billion in losses in 2024.
Determined to act, Manoj built Shield Seniors, a site that allows users to upload suspicious messages for analysis and provides links to report scams. Still in private preview mode requiring further development and funding, the website has already earned her an honorable mention in the 2024 Congressional App Challenge. Manoj has also delivered a talk at local senior living facilities about cybercrime prevention. “I remember going to my first speech, and I was super nervous,” Manoj said. “What if no one shows up? What if I totally mess up?” Her fears were unfounded. There were so many people who were really interested — taking notes on their notepads.
“This is supposed to bring people a sense of ’You’re not alone,’” Manoj said. “A lot of people are embarrassed that they got scammed, but this isn’t something you should be embarrassed about. It’s just a learning experience. You should report it to help make sure it doesn’t happen to anyone else.”
Manoj’s coding (编码) skills, developed since eighth grade through cybersecurity classes were critical to building Shield Seniors. “I really love the fact that you can solve problems with your computer, and I really like creating,” she said. Beyond her tech achievements, Manoj also plays violin in her school band and volunteers extensively.
24. Why did Manoj create Shield Seniors?
A. To win a national technology competition. B. To help her grandfather recover lost money.
C. To develop her potential skills in cybersecurity. D. To prevent seniors from experiencing online scams.
25. What does the underlined word “suspicious” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Questionable. B. Convincing. C. Exceptional. D. Complex.
26. Which of the following words can best describe Manoj?
A. Brave and ambitious. B. Generous and cooperative.
C. Creative and caring. D. Enthusiastic and demanding.
27. What’s the best title for the text?
A. An Activity for Preventing Online Scams B. A Teen Named 2025 TIME Kid of the Year
C. How a Teenager Was Acknowledged by TIME D. How a Student Built a Website for the Seniors
【答案】24. D 25. A 26. C 27. B
【解析】

In early 2023, the editors of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) decided to not only include poems in their highly respected professional publication but also publish commentaries analyzing each poem’s theme, context, and relevance to physical or mental health. This decision was based on several studies showing that beyond enjoyment and entertainment, both patients and their healthcare providers can find comfort and meaning in poetry.
Though poetry falls under the humanities, and often focuses on the themes of love and nature, it has a strong historical link to science and medicine. In fact, several well-known poets, most notably John Keats and William Carlos Williams, were also practicing physicians, transforming the pain they witnessed and experienced into beautiful written works. Similarly, many novelists and writers, including John Updike and Clive James, turned to poetry to express themselves when they fell ill.
In a study aiming to promote empathy (同理心) in mental health care, over 90 psychiatric (精神科的) nursing students were asked to write simple poems about their feelings toward mental health and related services. Their writings mostly reflected emotions like sadness, fear, suffering, and hatred. At the same time, the researchers found common themes of peace, respect, empathy, pride, affection, and love in the students’ poetry.
Such a task of students’ work helps medical educators improve students’ viewpoint on mental illness, convey mentally ill patients’ deep emotional needs, enhance students’ empathy, and support their personal and professional growth by suggesting interventions that address both clinical concerns and patients’ innermost feelings.
As a form of artistic expression and emotional revelation, poetry encourages self-reflection, promotes self-awareness, and lightens bad emotions. Poetry therapist (治疗师) Geraldine Chavis, former president of the National Association for Poetry Therapy, has long used reading and writing poetry and other forms of literature to help clients express and identify their feelings and actively participate in creative problem-solving of their issues. “Poetry therapists recognize that an untold number of poets are unconsciously acting as consultants for people they will never meet or see,” he said.
28. Why did the editors of JAMA decide to include poems and commentaries in their publication?
A. To increase the journal’s popularity.
B. To promote the spread of poetry culture.
C. To convey pleasure and emotional support.
D. To meet the demand of medical workers.
29. What’s the primary purpose of paragraph 2?
A. To demonstrate a previous argument. B. To add more background information.
C. To stress poets’ contribution to medicine. D. To explain the development of poetry.
30. How does writing poems benefit medical education according to the text?
A. It improves teacher-student relationships.
B. It can lower students’ homework burden.
C. It makes students strict with their practice.
D. It helps students understand patients better.
31. Which of the following statements may Geraldine Chavis agree with?
A. Poetry is a valuable healing tool.
B. Poets tend to have no mental disorders.
C. Poets are the most professional therapists.
D. Writing poetry requires careful instruction.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. A

【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Though poetry falls under the humanities, and often focuses on the themes of love and nature, it has a strong historical link to science and medicine(虽然诗歌属于人文学科,通常关注爱情和自然的主题,但它与科学和医学有着密切的历史联系)”以及后文列举的诗人兼医生的事例可知,诗歌通常关注爱情和自然的主题,它与科学和医学有着密切的历史联系,可推理出本段主要目的是为诗歌与医学的关联提供更多的背景信息。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Such a task of students’ work helps medical educators improve students’ viewpoint on mental illness, convey mentally ill patients’ deep emotional needs, enhance students’ empathy, and support their personal and professional growth by suggesting interventions that address both clinical concerns and patients’ innermost feelings(这种学生写作任务有助于医学教育者改善学生对精神疾病的看法,传达精神疾病患者深层的情感需求,增强学生的共情能力,并通过建议同时解决临床问题和患者内心感受的干预措施来支持他们的个人和职业成长)”可知,写诗有助于医学生更好地理解患者。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“As a form of artistic expression and emotional revelation, poetry encourages self-reflection, promotes self-awareness, and lightens bad emotions. Poetry therapist (治疗师) Geraldine Chavis, former president of the National Association for Poetry Therapy, has long used reading and writing poetry and other forms of literature to help clients express and identify their feelings and actively participate in creative problem-solving of their issues(作为一种艺术表达与情感抒发形式,诗歌引人自省、提升自我认知、舒缓负面情绪。美国全国诗歌疗法协会前主席、诗歌治疗师杰拉尔丁・查维斯长期借助诗歌读写及其他文学形式,帮助来访者梳理、表达自身情绪,主动探寻解决自身困扰的可行办法)”可知,诗歌引人自省、提升自我认知、舒缓负面情绪,且美国全国诗歌疗法协会前主席、诗歌治疗师杰拉尔丁・查维斯长期借助诗歌读写及其他文学形式,帮助来访者梳理、表达自身情绪,主动探寻解决自身困扰的可行办法,由此可推理出Geraldine Chavis认为诗歌是一种有价值的治疗工具。

Exciting news from the University of Waterloo! A team of committed researchers, led by PhD student Wei Wei, has made a remarkable discovery that holds the potential to transform plastic waste into acetic acid (醋酸) — the main ingredient of vinegar — using the power of sunlight.
Dr. Yimin Wu, a professor at the university, expressed their inspiring vision, stating, “Our goal was to solve the plastic pollution challenge by changing microplastic waste into high-value products using sunlight.” This mission is especially significant as plastic waste, particularly microplastics, has spread across ecosystems worldwide, raising serious concerns about its impact on both wildlife and human health.
With global plastic recycling rates still falling behind, this research team has stepped up to the challenge. They have developed a pioneering bio-inspired photocatalysis (光催化) method using special iron atoms (原子). This technique copies how certain fungi (真菌) break down organic matter, showing the creativity of nature.
When exposed to sunlight, the material drives a series of chemical reactions that transform plastic into acetic acid with high selectivity. The reaction takes place in water, which is particularly relevant for addressing plastic pollution in waters.
The study reveals that this method can effectively produce acetic acid from common plastics and it works well even with mixed plastic types. This adaptability makes the approach a promising alternative to traditional plastic burning, supporting more sustainable material use and offering a fresh strategy for upcycling.
Roy Brouwer, coauthor of the research, highlights the benefits of this innovation, noting, “Both from a business and societal perspective, the financial and economic benefits associated with this innovation seem promising.”
The research findings also open up exciting new avenues for directly addressing microplastics. By breaking down plastics at the chemical level, this process could play a crucial role in preventing the build-up of microplastics in our water systems.
While still at the laboratory stage, the team envisions that this approach could be adapted for scalable, broader environmental cleanup and the photocatalytic upcycling system can be further enhanced.
32. What drove the research team’s initial study?
A. Rising recycling rates of plastic. B. Business profits from acetic acid.
C. Discovery of sunlight’s chemical power. D. Plastic pollution’s widespread harm.
33. What does paragraph 3 mainly focus on?
A. The challenge of plastic recycling. B. The potential of natural power.
C. The inspiration and nature of the method. D. The role of iron atoms in the approach.
34. What can we learn about the photocatalysis method?
A. It can completely remove microplastics. B. It is applicable to various plastics.
C. It breaks down plastics faster than burning. D. It increases the cost of upcycling.
35. What does the team expect of their study?
A. Being used on a larger scale. B. Finding a market for acetic acid.
C. Helping reduce chemical use. D. Putting the method into use immediately.
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. B 35. A

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I looked at the brochure for Ballston Spa High School. “I don’t want to go to this school,” I said. “I hate it here. I have no friends, and I have nothing to do.”
My parents exchanged glances (眼神). We had moved from New Jersey to New York just a week before. Sighing, my mom turned to me from the front seat. “Can’t you try to look at the bright side?”
“It’s different living here. I want to go home.”
The car fell silent. We drove into Yaddo Gardens for a picnic, but my bad mood spoiled everything. As we laid out the blanket, we saw volunteers working in the gardens. My dad started talking to a woman named Vera, who told us they worked every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday morning. My dad, noticing my low spirits, suggested I join the gardening team.
Before I knew it, I was there early on a Tuesday morning. I struggled with heavy tools. Vera introduced me to John, the head gardener. He was eighty-one but still full of energy, moving around the garden with ease.
“Dana, come here!” He showed me a beautiful flower, but when he touched it, the petals (花瓣) fell apart. “Looks alive, but it’s actually dead,” he said. Then he pointed to a bush that looked stick-like and flowerless. “This one will bloom in a few days. Just wait.”
Over the next several months, I came to the gardens regularly. John taught me about roses and life. During breaks, we would chat and discuss everything from mountains to middle school, laughing and learning the joys of a friendship across generations.
One day, I told him my fear about starting school. “What if I have no friends?” Instead of saying something, John led me to a terrace (观景台) overlooking the garden. He explained that the garden was designed so that from a certain angle, all beds looked the same size. “It’s called perspectivism,” he said. “You can look at your new school as something scary, or as an opportunity. The choice is yours.”
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The first day of school arrived, and I stood at the gate, remembering John’s words.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Three months later, I saw John again at the Yaddo Gardens celebration.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文
The first day of school arrived, and I stood at the gate, remembering John’s words. Taking a deep breath, I decided to view this new school as an opportunity. As I walked into the building, I helped a girl who was struggling with a heavy stack of books. We became friends later. That day, I made several new friends and even joined a school club. The day was filled with happiness and new experiences, and I realized that John was right. By choosing to see the positive side, I had opened myself up to a world of possibilities.
Three months later, I saw John again at the Yaddo Gardens celebration. I gave him a big hug. John beamed with pride and patted my shoulder. “Remember, life is full of opportunities if you just choose to see them.” We spent the rest of the celebration chatting and reminiscing about our time in the garden. As I left, I felt grateful for John’s wisdom and friendship. I knew that no matter what challenges I faced in the future, I would always remember John’s words and choose to see the bright side.
