Group Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteering as a group with Washington Trails Association (WTA) is a valuable way to give back to nature. You’ll spend the day team-building and learning new skills. No experience is needed, but here are some things to know before you get started.
Group Guidelines
• Small Groups (2-6 people): You can self-register for a work party. Please browse our schedule for upcoming work parties in the next 4-6 weeks.
• Large Groups (7-20 people): We can arrange private work parties for community or corporate groups. For these requests, we need at least two months’ notice.
• Groups over 20: If your group is larger than 20, we can offer multiple separate work parties. We cannot accommodate more than 20 people in one work party.

Abandoned homes, closed stores, and empty lands: these signs of decline were once everywhere in Englewood, a community in Chicago. It’s one of the city’s most dangerous neighborhoods, with a high poverty rate. Many people avoided Englewood because of these problems while Quilen Blackwell moved there because of them.
Blackwell grew up comfortably in Wisconsin. After college, he served in rural Thailand, which aroused his interest in the environment issues. Later, tutoring at an Englewood high school opened his eyes to his students’ struggles. “They can live a better life.” he says.
In 2015, he and his wife Hannah bought a home in Englewood. They planned to turn a piece of deserted land into a community farm, but they faced issues like soil toxins and water access. Researching alternatives, Blackwell learned the U.S. spends billions on cut flowers each year — over 70% imported. “Why import flowers when we have land and youth?” he thought. “Maybe flowers are the answer.”
In 2017, they bought two empty lands and started a commercial flower farm, using rainwater and solar power, with no chemicals.
But farms are only half the story. Since 2019, their nonprofit shop, Southside Blooms, has sold the flowers they grow — providing various job opportunities for the youth. Dionta White, 28, grew up in Englewood, fell into street life, and went to jail. But now he’s a senior farm team member. “Working here, I saw myself changing — calmer, more into nature,” he says. “It feels good to let people see me and Englewood differently.”
Early next year, Blackwell says he will open a second shop in Chicago and begin the process of expanding nationally. He believes that flower farms could eventually become common in urban areas across the U.S.
24. What can we infer about Englewood from the first paragraph?
A. It faces serious economic difficulties. B. It lies in the center of a large city.
C. It has attracted many new residents. D. It is a historical heritage of the city.
25. What led Blackwell to the idea of the flower project?
A. A desire for environmental protection. B. An agricultural research background.
C. A discovery of unused local resources. D. A struggle for water in deserted land.
26. What does Dionta White’s experience show about Southside Blooms?
A. It offers a stage for artistic expression. B. It promotes personal transformation.
C. It explores sustainable power sources. D. It teaches young people farming skills.
27. What message does Blackwell’s story convey?
A. Professional skills lead to career success. B. Success is better achieved in rural areas.
C. Financial returns matter most in business. D. Hope can be found in troubled neighborhoods.
C
Most of us assume that warmth is what leads to generosity, rather than the other way around. It’s an intuitive order of events: we like people first and then choose to help them. However, according to research from the Fudan Journal of the Humanities and Social Sciences, the opposite can also be just as true. Interestingly, this is what’s known as the “Ben Franklin effect”. After doing someone a favor, you begin to like them more, despite having felt neutral or indifferent about them beforehand.
In terms of the Ben Franklin effect, this means that if you help someone, your brain is likely to try and reason: “Well, I wouldn’t go out of my way for someone I dislike, so I must like them.” Psychologists identified that the cognitive (认知的) mechanism underlying this intuitive social shift was, in fact, cognitive dissonance (失调). In simple terms, cognitive dissonance occurs when our behaviors are inconsistent with our beliefs. In turn, our minds unconsciously adjust our attitudes to reduce the discomfort this inconsistency brings on.
The concept gained significant scientific recognition after renowned researchers Jon Jecker and David Landy’s classic 1969 experiment, published in the journal Human Relations. Specifically, participants within the study who had done a favor for the experimenter rated the experimenter as much more likable than those who had received a favor or had no interaction at all.
With this study, Jecker and Landy were able to provide proof for the effect. This strongly suggests that the things that we do are more likely to shape our beliefs than the inverse (相反). In other words, when we act generously, we unconsciously convince ourselves that we must care for the recipient in some way or another.
The Ben Franklin effect suggests that our actions can build connections far more reliably than just our emotions alone. This has profound meanings for romantic relationships, friendships, family dynamics and even healing old wounds. Offering a small favor to someone you feel slightly distant from can be a gentle yet effective way to reopen the connection. However, the inverse is also true: if you never put in effort, your pride will only create emotional distance.
28. Which of the following agrees with the Ben Franklin effect?
A. Warm relations lead to generosity. B. Generous behavior wins popularity.
C. Good deeds deserve greater rewards. D. Acts of kindness establish closer ties.
29. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?
A. The motive for helping the people we dislike. B. The underlying logic of reducing discomfort.
C. The psychological process behind the effect. D. The method of managing cognitive dissonance.
30. Jecker and Landy’s experiment seems to tell us that ________.
A. experimenters rate helpful participants higher B. emotions heal scars more effectively than actions
C. behavior is a contributor to the formation of ideas D. people prefer to care for the recipient before donation
31. What does the author stress in the last paragraph?
A. Potential implications of the effect. B. Supporting evidence for the effect.
C. The further interpretation of the effect. D. The negativity of the inverse of the effect.
D
A new study was conducted by AI expert André Barcaui of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, who ran an experiment with a group of university students. Half were allowed to use ChatGPT to help them respond to an assignment on artificial intelligence, and half weren’t.
In a surprise test 45 days after the assignment, the students who used ChatGPT scored an average of 5.75 out of 10, while those who took the traditional study route averaged 6.85. That’s a notable difference, which chimes with other research showing that using AI to find information means we don’t take as much in. “This suggests that unrestricted ChatGPT use affected long-term memory storage, likely by reducing the cognitive effort that supports durable memory,” Barcaui writes.
In the study, the students were given two weeks to learn about AI, then had to give a 10-minute demonstration. The ChatGPT group could use the tool to search, integrate, and structure information; the other group stuck to traditional methods. Learning was faster with AI: the ChatGPT group spent an average of 3.2 hours on the assignment, compared with 5.8 hours for the non-AI group. This reminds us that using apps like ChatGPT could be robbing our brains of the exercise they need — and that has consequences.
The idea of cognitive offloading isn’t new. In 2011, a team led by psychologist Betsy Sparrow first described “digital amnesia (失忆症)” — the effect of search engines like Google on our ability to remember information. With AI assistants now able to take on much of the mental workload, studies suggest they could be changing how we think, perceive, focus and remember — not necessarily for the better.
“Future teaching strategies should aim to take advantage of the benefits of AI without sacrificing the cognitive engagement and productive struggle required for durable learning,” Barcaui writes. “In the age of AI, the core principles of human learning are not outdated; in fact, they are more important than ever to uphold.”
32. What does the underlined phrase “chimes with” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Conflicts with. B. Corresponds to. C. Contributes to. D. Comes from.
33. What explains the faster learning of ChatGPT group?
A. Limited memory storage. B. Enriched learning experience.
C. Increased learning motivation. D. Reduced cognitive involvement.
34. Why does the author mention “digital amnesia”?
A. To emphasize AI’s great risk. B. To clarify cognitive offloading.
C. To add evidence to the findings. D. To criticize over-reliance on tools.
35. What is Barcaui’s attitude toward the use of AI?
A. Supportive. B. Unclear. C. Dismissive. D. Doubtful.

第二节(满分25分)
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。
Being left-handed sounds cool, until you realize it is less about genius and more about daily survival. We lefties share the same DNA with great figures like Chaplin, da Vinci and Oprah, yet we struggle constantly with all kinds of right-handed everyday objects.
My struggles began early in kindergarten. The teacher handed me a pair of child-safe scissors, which turned out to be anything but safe for a left-hander. The paper I cut looked as if it had been attacked by a hamster (仓鼠). My teacher sighed and advised me to try harder, never knowing I was actually fighting against centuries of right-handed design.
Later in school, I suffered a lot from those lecture seats with desks attached only on the right. To write, I had to twist my body awkwardly, with my left arm hanging unsupported in the air. After class, ink stained my palm, my shoulder ached terribly, and my handwriting was as messy as a doctor’s prescription (处方).
Pens were another disaster. Right-handed people glide smoothly across the page, while I always leave wet ink everywhere. By the time I finished an essay, my hand was covered in dark ink stains. Almost everything in life — scissors, spiral notebooks, zippers and door handles — was all designed for right-handed people.
When I took up guitar in college, my instructor was shocked to see me play with my left hand. Left-handed guitars were rare and overpriced, so I had no choice but to flip a regular guitar upside down just like Jimi Hendrix.
Even my grandmother once tried to correct me by tying my left hand behind my back. But I was so clumsy that I spilled food all over the floor. She finally gave up, muttering that I was somehow special. As I grew up, I learned to adapt. I chose proper seats in restaurants to avoid elbow conflicts, flipped notebooks, used reversed (颠倒的) keyboards and operated right-handed mice with my left hand, always drawing curious stares from others. Still, I felt awkward and out of place living in a right-handed world.
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。
Paragraph 1: One day, our school held a talent show, and I braved the stage with my upside-down guitar.

Paragraph 2: That night, for the first time, I didn’t try to hide my left hand when I walked off the stage.

【解析】
【原文】W: Hello everyone. Thanks for coming to our weekly event, Meet The Author. Today we have doctor Casper Melville with us, a lecturer from the University of London. Doctor Melville began his career writing about music for a magazine called Blues and Soul. In 1992 he moved to San Francisco and helped create a jazz magazine named On The One with some friends. They did excellent work, but the job didn’t pay well. In 1997 he moved back to London and entered the world of education, deciding to explore a new way of writing about music. He grew up in London. He believes the music played in London’s clubs has had a huge influence on him but sadly this music has not received due respect from universities. In black music research, jazz has been widely studied, but dance music has often been left out. His book, It’s a London Thing, is written to address this problem. So, let’s welcome Dr Melville to talk about his book.

Abandoned homes, closed stores, and empty lands: these signs of decline were once everywhere in Englewood, a community in Chicago. It’s one of the city’s most dangerous neighborhoods, with a high poverty rate. Many people avoided Englewood because of these problems while Quilen Blackwell moved there because of them.
Blackwell grew up comfortably in Wisconsin. After college, he served in rural Thailand, which aroused his interest in the environment issues. Later, tutoring at an Englewood high school opened his eyes to his students’ struggles. “They can live a better life.” he says.
In 2015, he and his wife Hannah bought a home in Englewood. They planned to turn a piece of deserted land into a community farm, but they faced issues like soil toxins and water access. Researching alternatives, Blackwell learned the U.S. spends billions on cut flowers each year — over 70% imported. “Why import flowers when we have land and youth?” he thought. “Maybe flowers are the answer.”
In 2017, they bought two empty lands and started a commercial flower farm, using rainwater and solar power, with no chemicals.
But farms are only half the story. Since 2019, their nonprofit shop, Southside Blooms, has sold the flowers they grow — providing various job opportunities for the youth. Dionta White, 28, grew up in Englewood, fell into street life, and went to jail. But now he’s a senior farm team member. “Working here, I saw myself changing — calmer, more into nature,” he says. “It feels good to let people see me and Englewood differently.”
Early next year, Blackwell says he will open a second shop in Chicago and begin the process of expanding nationally. He believes that flower farms could eventually become common in urban areas across the U.S.
24. What can we infer about Englewood from the first paragraph?
A. It faces serious economic difficulties. B. It lies in the center of a large city.
C. It has attracted many new residents. D. It is a historical heritage of the city.
25. What led Blackwell to the idea of the flower project?
A. A desire for environmental protection. B. An agricultural research background.
C. A discovery of unused local resources. D. A struggle for water in deserted land.
26. What does Dionta White’s experience show about Southside Blooms?
A. It offers a stage for artistic expression. B. It promotes personal transformation.
C. It explores sustainable power sources. D. It teaches young people farming skills.
27. What message does Blackwell’s story convey?
A. Professional skills lead to career success. B. Success is better achieved in rural areas.
C. Financial returns matter most in business. D. Hope can be found in troubled neighborhoods.
【答案】24. A 25. C 26. B 27. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍芝加哥恩格尔伍德社区曾衰败不堪,奎伦·布莱克威尔迁居至此,创办花卉农场和非营利商店,为当地青年提供机会,为社区带来希望的故事。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Abandoned homes, closed stores, and empty lands: these signs of decline were once everywhere in Englewood, a community in Chicago. It’s one of the city’s most dangerous neighborhoods, with a high poverty rate.(废弃的房屋、关闭的商店和闲置的土地:这些衰败的迹象曾经在芝加哥的恩格尔伍德社区随处可见。它是这座城市最危险的社区之一,贫困率很高)”可知,恩格尔伍德贫困率高,存在诸多衰败迹象,可推断它面临严重的经济困难。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“They planned to turn a piece of deserted land into a community farm, but they faced issues like soil toxins and water access. Researching alternatives, Blackwell learned the U.S. spends billions on cut flowers each year — over 70% imported. “Why import flowers when we have land and youth?” he thought. “Maybe flowers are the answer.”(他们计划将一块荒地改造成社区农场,但他们面临着土壤毒素和用水等问题。在研究替代方案时,布莱克威尔了解到美国每年在鲜切花上花费数十亿美元——超过70%是进口的。“我们有土地和年轻人,为什么还要进口鲜花呢?”他想。“也许鲜花就是答案。”)”可知,布莱克威尔发现当地有闲置土地和青年资源,而美国大量进口鲜切花,这一发现让他产生了花卉项目的想法。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Dionta White, 28, grew up in Englewood, fell into street life, and went to jail. But now he’s a senior farm team member. “Working here, I saw myself changing — calmer, more into nature,” he says. “It feels good to let people see me and Englewood differently.”(28岁的迪翁塔·怀特在恩格尔伍德长大,曾流落街头,还进过监狱。但现在他是农场的高级队员。“在这里工作,我看到自己在改变——变得更冷静,更亲近自然,”他说。“能让人们以不同的眼光看待我和恩格尔伍德,感觉很好。”)”可知,迪翁塔·怀特从曾经的街头生活、入狱经历,到如今变得冷静、亲近自然,他的经历表明Southside Blooms能促进人的转变。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,并结合1小题和3小题的分析可知,恩格尔伍德曾是衰败、危险、贫困的社区,布莱克威尔迁居至此,创办花卉农场和Southside Blooms商店,为当地青年提供就业机会,帮助他们转变,还计划扩大规模,为这个困境中的社区带来了希望。由此可知,布莱克威尔的故事传达的信息是:在困境中的社区也能找到希望。
C
Most of us assume that warmth is what leads to generosity, rather than the other way around. It’s an intuitive order of events: we like people first and then choose to help them. However, according to research from the Fudan Journal of the Humanities and Social Sciences, the opposite can also be just as true. Interestingly, this is what’s known as the “Ben Franklin effect”. After doing someone a favor, you begin to like them more, despite having felt neutral or indifferent about them beforehand.
In terms of the Ben Franklin effect, this means that if you help someone, your brain is likely to try and reason: “Well, I wouldn’t go out of my way for someone I dislike, so I must like them.” Psychologists identified that the cognitive (认知的) mechanism underlying this intuitive social shift was, in fact, cognitive dissonance (失调). In simple terms, cognitive dissonance occurs when our behaviors are inconsistent with our beliefs. In turn, our minds unconsciously adjust our attitudes to reduce the discomfort this inconsistency brings on.
The concept gained significant scientific recognition after renowned researchers Jon Jecker and David Landy’s classic 1969 experiment, published in the journal Human Relations. Specifically, participants within the study who had done a favor for the experimenter rated the experimenter as much more likable than those who had received a favor or had no interaction at all.
With this study, Jecker and Landy were able to provide proof for the effect. This strongly suggests that the things that we do are more likely to shape our beliefs than the inverse (相反). In other words, when we act generously, we unconsciously convince ourselves that we must care for the recipient in some way or another.
The Ben Franklin effect suggests that our actions can build connections far more reliably than just our emotions alone. This has profound meanings for romantic relationships, friendships, family dynamics and even healing old wounds. Offering a small favor to someone you feel slightly distant from can be a gentle yet effective way to reopen the connection. However, the inverse is also true: if you never put in effort, your pride will only create emotional distance.
28. Which of the following agrees with the Ben Franklin effect?
A. Warm relations lead to generosity. B. Generous behavior wins popularity.
C. Good deeds deserve greater rewards. D. Acts of kindness establish closer ties.
29. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?
A. The motive for helping the people we dislike. B. The underlying logic of reducing discomfort.
C. The psychological process behind the effect. D. The method of managing cognitive dissonance.
30. Jecker and Landy’s experiment seems to tell us that ________.
A. experimenters rate helpful participants higher B. emotions heal scars more effectively than actions
C. behavior is a contributor to the formation of ideas D. people prefer to care for the recipient before donation
31. What does the author stress in the last paragraph?
A. Potential implications of the effect. B. Supporting evidence for the effect.
C. The further interpretation of the effect. D. The negativity of the inverse of the effect.
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. C 31. A
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了“本·富兰克林效应”及其心理机制与现实启示。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“After doing someone a favor, you begin to like them more, despite having felt neutral or indifferent about them beforehand.(帮别人一个忙之后,你会开始更喜欢他们,尽管在此之前你对他们感觉平淡或漠不关心)”可知,本·富兰克林效应强调帮助行为能拉近人际距离。D项“Acts of kindness establish closer ties(善意之举建立更紧密的联系)”与之相符。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中“Psychologists identified that the cognitive ( 认知的) mechanism underlying this intuitive social shift was, in fact, cognitive dissonance (失调). In simple terms, cognitive dissonance occurs when our behaviors are inconsistent with our beliefs. In turn, our minds unconsciously adjust our attitudes to reduce the discomfort this inconsistency brings on.(心理学家指出,这种直觉性社会转变背后的认知机制,实际上就是认知失调。简单来说,当我们的行为与信念不一致时,就会产生认知失调。反过来,我们的大脑会无意识地调整我们的态度,以减轻这种不一致所带来的不适感)”可知,本段主要阐释了该效应背后的心理运作过程。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“This strongly suggests that the things that we do are more likely to shape our beliefs than the inverse.(这有力地表明,我们所做的事比相反的情况更有可能塑造我们的信念)”可知,实验证明了行为对观念形成的推动作用。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The Ben Franklin effect suggests that our actions can build connections far more reliably than just our emotions alone. This has profound meanings for romantic relationships, friendships, family dynamics and even healing old wounds.(本·富兰克林效应表明,我们的行动比单纯的感情更能可靠地建立联系。这对恋爱关系、友谊、家庭动态甚至愈合旧伤都具有深远意义)”可知,作者在此强调了该效应的广泛应用价值。

A new study was conducted by AI expert André Barcaui of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, who ran an experiment with a group of university students. Half were allowed to use ChatGPT to help them respond to an assignment on artificial intelligence, and half weren’t.
In a surprise test 45 days after the assignment, the students who used ChatGPT scored an average of 5.75 out of 10, while those who took the traditional study route averaged 6.85. That’s a notable difference, which chimes with other research showing that using AI to find information means we don’t take as much in. “This suggests that unrestricted ChatGPT use affected long-term memory storage, likely by reducing the cognitive effort that supports durable memory,” Barcaui writes.
In the study, the students were given two weeks to learn about AI, then had to give a 10-minute demonstration. The ChatGPT group could use the tool to search, integrate, and structure information; the other group stuck to traditional methods. Learning was faster with AI: the ChatGPT group spent an average of 3.2 hours on the assignment, compared with 5.8 hours for the non-AI group. This reminds us that using apps like ChatGPT could be robbing our brains of the exercise they need — and that has consequences.
The idea of cognitive offloading isn’t new. In 2011, a team led by psychologist Betsy Sparrow first described “digital amnesia (失忆症)” — the effect of search engines like Google on our ability to remember information. With AI assistants now able to take on much of the mental workload, studies suggest they could be changing how we think, perceive, focus and remember — not necessarily for the better.
“Future teaching strategies should aim to take advantage of the benefits of AI without sacrificing the cognitive engagement and productive struggle required for durable learning,” Barcaui writes. “In the age of AI, the core principles of human learning are not outdated; in fact, they are more important than ever to uphold.”
32. What does the underlined phrase “chimes with” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Conflicts with. B. Corresponds to. C. Contributes to. D. Comes from.
33. What explains the faster learning of ChatGPT group?
A. Limited memory storage. B. Enriched learning experience.
C. Increased learning motivation. D. Reduced cognitive involvement.
34. Why does the author mention “digital amnesia”?
A. To emphasize AI’s great risk. B. To clarify cognitive offloading.
C. To add evidence to the findings. D. To criticize over-reliance on tools.
35. What is Barcaui’s attitude toward the use of AI?
A. Supportive. B. Unclear. C. Dismissive. D. Doubtful.
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. C 35. A

That’s a notable difference, which chimes with other research showing that using AI to find information means we don’t take as much in.(在布置作业后45天的一次意外测试中,使用ChatGPT的学生平均得分为5.75分(满分10分),而采用传统学习方式的学生平均分为6.85分。这是一个显著的差异,chimes with其他研究结果,这些研究表明使用人工智能查找信息意味着我们吸收的知识更少)”可知,本项研究发现使用ChatGPT的学生测试成绩远低于不使用的学生,该结论和其他已有研究得出的“使用AI会减少知识吸收”的结论一致,可知chimes with意思是“与……一致、相符”,与Corresponds to“与……一致、符合”意思一致。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“This suggests that unrestricted ChatGPT use affected long-term memory storage, likely by reducing the cognitive effort that supports durable memory(这表明无限制使用ChatGPT会影响长期记忆存储,原因很可能是它减少了支撑长效记忆所需的认知努力)”以及第三段“This reminds us that using apps like ChatGPT could be robbing our brains of the exercise they need(这提醒我们,使用ChatGPT这类应用可能会剥夺大脑所需的锻炼)”可知,ChatGPT组完成任务更快,是因为人工智能承担了大部分认知工作,减少了学习者自身的认知参与。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。第四段开头提出“The idea of cognitive offloading isn’t new.(认知卸载的概念并不新鲜)”,接着“In 2011, a team led by psychologist Betsy Sparrow first described “digital amnesia (失忆症)” — the effect of search engines like Google on our ability to remember information. With AI assistants now able to take on much of the mental workload, studies suggest they could be changing how we think, perceive, focus and remember — not necessarily for the better.(2011年,心理学家Betsy Sparrow领导的一个团队首次描述了“数字失忆症”——谷歌等搜索引擎对我们记忆信息能力的影响。随着人工智能助手现在能够承担大部分的脑力工作,研究表明,它们可能会改变我们思考、感知、专注和记忆的方式,但不一定会变得更好。 )”介绍“数字失忆症”概念,谷歌这类搜索引擎已经证明会影响人类的信息记忆能力,现在人工智能可以承担更多认知工作,也会对人类的思维、感知、注意力和记忆产生不一定向好的改变。由此可推知,作者提到早已被提出的“数字失忆症”,是为新研究结论提供更早的相关研究佐证。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Future teaching strategies should aim to take advantage of the benefits of AI without sacrificing the cognitive engagement and productive struggle required for durable learning(未来的教学策略应当着眼于利用人工智能的优势,同时不牺牲长效学习所需的认知参与和有效的思考努力)”可知,Barcaui并不反对使用人工智能,他支持合理发挥AI的优势,只是要求保证学习者获得足够认知参与和大脑锻炼,因此他对AI的使用持支持态度,只是强调要理性合理应用。

【37题详解】
由上文“A nap beforehand can improve performance at this time and help you to enjoy what you are doing.(提前小睡可以提升状态,让你更好地享受活动。)”以及下文“Additionally, if you know that you have a long drive ahead, a preparatory nap may help you to stay awake for longer and drive more safely.(此外长途驾驶前提前午睡可以提神、保障行车安全。)”可知,本段介绍提前午睡适用场景,E选项“Such naps can also help in the case of night shift work.(这类午睡对上夜班同样适用。)”拓展了另一适用场景,符合题意,该选项中“such naps”指代上文“A nap beforehand”,“can also help”与下文“may help”相呼应。

【答案】Possible Version 1:
Dear Eric,
I am Li Hua. I’m writing to formally request that my video entry for the “Graduation Memories” short video contest be featured on our school’s media platform.
My video captures one ordinary day in our classroom preparing for the College Entrance Examination: classmates reviewing intensively together, sharing snacks during breaks, and writing encouraging messages to each other on the blackboard. It ends with all of us shouting, “We can make it!”
I believe this video deserves to be shown because it records the small, real moments of our final high school days — the nervousness, the determination and the silent support. Having already touched many classmates, it may comfort and motivate more students facing exam pressure.
Thank you for your consideration.
Yours,
Li Hua
Possible Version 2:
Dear Eric,
I am Li Hua, a creator of the video entered in the “Graduation Memories” contest. I am writing to apply for its display on the school’s media platform.
Unlike traditional videos, my work The Marks of Time focuses on daily items: worn-out test papers, scattered pens, and a school uniform covered with heartfelt signatures. Each object symbolizes our dedication and friendship.
I believe this unique visual narrative deserves to be shared. These common items are the collective footprints of every senior, which will undoubtedly evoke strong resonance and provide comfort during this bittersweet graduation season. Moreover, it offers a creative perspective on how to document life for the younger students.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Yours,
Li Hua

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。
Being left-handed sounds cool, until you realize it is less about genius and more about daily survival. We lefties share the same DNA with great figures like Chaplin, da Vinci and Oprah, yet we struggle constantly with all kinds of right-handed everyday objects.
My struggles began early in kindergarten. The teacher handed me a pair of child-safe scissors, which turned out to be anything but safe for a left-hander. The paper I cut looked as if it had been attacked by a hamster (仓鼠). My teacher sighed and advised me to try harder, never knowing I was actually fighting against centuries of right-handed design.
Later in school, I suffered a lot from those lecture seats with desks attached only on the right. To write, I had to twist my body awkwardly, with my left arm hanging unsupported in the air. After class, ink stained my palm, my shoulder ached terribly, and my handwriting was as messy as a doctor’s prescription (处方).
Pens were another disaster. Right-handed people glide smoothly across the page, while I always leave wet ink everywhere. By the time I finished an essay, my hand was covered in dark ink stains. Almost everything in life — scissors, spiral notebooks, zippers and door handles — was all designed for right-handed people.
When I took up guitar in college, my instructor was shocked to see me play with my left hand. Left-handed guitars were rare and overpriced, so I had no choice but to flip a regular guitar upside down just like Jimi Hendrix.
Even my grandmother once tried to correct me by tying my left hand behind my back. But I was so clumsy that I spilled food all over the floor. She finally gave up, muttering that I was somehow special. As I grew up, I learned to adapt. I chose proper seats in restaurants to avoid elbow conflicts, flipped notebooks, used reversed (颠倒的) keyboards and operated right-handed mice with my left hand, always drawing curious stares from others. Still, I felt awkward and out of place living in a right-handed world.
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。
Paragraph 1: One day, our school held a talent show, and I braved the stage with my upside-down guitar.

Paragraph 2: That night, for the first time, I didn’t try to hide my left hand when I walked off the stage.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】例文
One day, our school held a talent show, and I braved the stage with my upside-down guitar. Standing behind the curtain, my heart pounded wildly. I couldn’t help recalling the strange looks I had always received for being left-handed and the endless troubles with right-handed objects. Taking a deep breath, I walked onto the stage. As my fingers touched the strings, I closed my eyes and let out the melody gently. My special way of playing soon drew all the audience’s attention. When the last note faded away, the whole hall burst into thunderous applause, replacing the confusion I had often met.
That night, for the first time, I didn’t try to hide my left hand when I walked off the stage. I no longer felt embarrassed about being a left-hander. I came to realize that those daily struggles had made me more adaptable and creative. I thought of great left-handed figures like da Vinci, who achieved greatness by thinking differently. What used to be seen as awkward was actually a wonderful gift. Even grandma’s words that I was “special” suddenly made sense. I finally understood that being left-handed was never a flaw. Instead of feeling left behind, I learned to embrace my difference — being left is not wrong, but brilliantly unique.
