When students at Roosevelt High School in Portland,Oregon,noticed that local families
struggled to buy fresh vegetables,they didn't just talk about the problem-they took action.Last
year,with support from local farmers and a $15,000 community fund,the school's Environmental
Club launched a project to build two solar-powered greenhouses on campus.The goal?To grow
organic tomatoes,cabbages,and carrots,then donate 70%of the harvest to a nearby food bank,
while using the rest to teach fellow students about sustainable farming.
“Most of us had never held a trowel(铲子)before,”says 17-year-old club president Maya
Rodriguez."We spent weekends learning how to mix soil,plant seeds,and fix the greenhouse's
watering system.At first,we worried the plants would die-we even stayed after school to cover
them when a late frost hit.But now,walking into the greenhouse and seeing rows of cabbages,it
feels like we're doing something real."
Students track plant growth using digital tools,test soil pH levels,and study how sunlight
affects crop yields.“Ve used to learn about photosynthesis(光合作用)in textbooks,”says 16-year-
old Alex Chen."Now we're watching it happen.Last month,we compared two groups of tomatoes-
one grown with natural fertilizer,one with chemical-and presented our findings to the school
board.It made science feel useful."
Local food bank director Lisa Hernandez says the donations have made a big difference.
"Before,we could only offer canned vegetables to families,"she says."Now,we're giving them
fresh greens that kids actually want to eat.A mother told me her son started asking for salads after
trying the cabbages from the school's greenhouse."
The school's principal,Dr.James Taylor,believes the project has taught students skills no
textbook could."They've learned teamwork,resilience,and that their voices matter,"he says.
"When you see a student who once hated science staying late to water tomatoes,that's the kind of
learning that sticks."
4.What do we know about students at Roosevelt High School?

The City of Richmond Hill,north of Toronto,Ontario,does not have a local history museum
and,as a result,lacks the same rich heritage experiences that many smaller communities enjoy.
Penetanguishene,a town in Simcoe County,Ontario,on the other hand,has become a successful
small town because it has a clear sense of the importance of its past.And the Penetanguishene
Centennial Museum has become a center for many of the events that bring the town's 8,500
residents together.
Most Canadians are aware of the role of larger professional museums in preserving our national
heritage.What is exhibited in them,however,often seems distant from our lives.But in small towns,
local museums hold the memory not of our nation,but of our towns.They preserve the personal
history of the residents,many of whom gifted the unique items that are on exhibit.
While financial support from the government helps to get special exhibits,there are other
groups that make small-town museums successful across Ontario.A huge contribution is always
made by local families.In our case,the C.Beck Manufacturing Company,operating from 1875 to
1969,had a significant impact on the history of the town.The Beck family and company played a
central role in preserving Penetanguishene's unique history by gifting their former general store and
office as our town's first museum.
Besides,since 1991,the "Friends of the Museum",a volunteer organization,has raised
hundreds of thousands of dollars for our museum and helped run community events every year.By
supporting small-town museums as volunteers,people help to preserve and promote the past in a
more personal way.It is this personal touch that makes the museum a gathering place in the town,
and a symbol of its unique history.And the various exhibitions and concerts hosted by the museum
have constantly breathed new life into our town.
8.What accounts for Richmond Hill's lack of heritage experiences?
A.The absence of a local history museum.
B.The government's insufficient support.
C.The overly rapid expansion of the city.
D.The city's poor protection of old objects.
9.What is the difference between small local museums and big ones?
A.Who they are for.
B.How they tell history.
C.How exhibits relate to people's lives.
D.How many items they hold.
10.Why is the C.Beck Manufacturing Company mentioned in paragraph 3?
A.To explain the birth of small-town museums.
B.To call for public recognition of its contributions.
C.To show local museums can help preserve history.
D.To emphasize local families'role in small-town museums.
高二英语第3页共8页
11.What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A.The impact of personal touch.
B.Significance of volunteers'support.
C.Activities hosted by the local museum.
D.Funds donated for running the museum.

Generative Al is changing how we work.Tools like DeepSeek and ChatGPT help people write
everything from emails to blog posts 40%faster than they used to,according to a 2023 MIT study.
The new technologies are transforming technical jobs in particular.A study determined that gen Al
coding tools can cut programming time by 56%,for instance.
How should workers use such time windfalls?Generally,the popular view is that people will
use Al-generated time savings to enhance their personal lives,develop innovations,or increase
productivity.However,two surveys of 302 Al users and 57 managers from around the world,
conducted by the University of Lausanne,Switzerland,in early 2024,challenge that thinking.The
surveys asked questions like:Do you save time using gen Al?Do you feel you have more time for
other things?Do you rearrange time for personal or work-related tasks?How frequently do you
waste the time you saved?
The researchers found that gen Al saved the managers about 2 hours and 46 minutes a week,on
average.Eighty-two percent of them said that the technology helped them do their jobs faster.But
many in that group failed to fully capitalize on their freed-up time:38%of them admitted to
wasting more than half of it.Similarly,84%of people in the gen Al user group admitted to wasting
at least a quarter of it.Few of them said they used it to connect with others,enjoy their families,
learn new skills,or improve their physical and emotional health.
"Rearranging time savings requires people to track when they're saving time,"says Isabelle
Engeler,an associate professor at the University of Lausanne.Only once they have a good idea of
how much they've gained can they decide how to benefit from it,she argues."Unfortunately,"she
notes,"many people don't immediately notice it."
To optimize()Al-related time savings,Engeler suggests,managers can help employees
improve work-life balance.However,any time rearrangement requires a deliberate,intentional,and
ongoing approach.
12.Which word best describes generative Al in paragraph 1?
A.Innovative.
B.Time-saving.
C.Ineffective.
D.Cost-saving.
13.What do the two surveys say about Al-saved time?
A.It was not fully used for meaningful activities.
B.It was primarily used for personal development.
C.It was effectively employed to enhance relationship.
D.It was mainly arranged for improving physical health.
14.What can we know from Isabelle Engeler's words?
A.People should use Al to save more time.
B.People should focus on their work-life balance.
C.People need to make good use of their work time.
D.People need to monitor and redirect Al-saved time.

15.What is a suitable title for the text?
A.The Al Efficiency Problem
B.The Hidden Waste in Al Time Savings
C.The Productivity Paradox of Generative Al
D.The Approaches to Managing Al-related Time

"Different strokes for different folks"applies as much to dining as to anything else.Food
preferences are not just about flavors.They are also about where the ingredients come from,how
they are processed,and what cooking methods are used._16_Left unchecked,incomplete or
misleading information could spark disputes,damage trust and even raise food safety concerns.
The controversy over"pre-made"dishes in China shows just how divisive this issue has become.
17 Yet whichever side people are on,one thing is clear:they prefer to be kept "well-
informed".
However,there is a sharp perception gap between what consumers seek and what restaurant
operators offer.In practice,restaurateurs tend not to view their offerings as pre-made.18
How,then,should pre-made dishes be regulated?The answer depends on whether we treat them
as a product or a process..If they are treated as products,legislators(立法委员)could adopt a
"menu-style"approach while drafting regulations,and setting specific rules for each type of pre-
made dish.19 Specifically,they might ask:Were the dishes made from scratch?Or were
they prepared industrially?This distinction isn't about safety alone,but reflects values like
sustainability,tradition,taste,and price sensitivity.Nevertheless,both approaches must follow a
common principle:labels must not be misleading.
But bridging the gap between public perception and professional definition requires more than
just rules.20 Done right,regulations can ensure consumer choice and trust,industrial
innovation and cultural confidence all grow together.
A.These details should be disclosed to consumers.
B.It affects price,freshness,and even its cultural meaning.
C.China's rising pre-made dish sales stem from rapid industrialization.
D.Some diners welcome convenience,while others prioritize freshness.
E.It calls for sustained communication on what counts as pre-made food.
F.But consumers often do,because they focus on sourcing and preparation.
G.If the focus is on the process,consumers would ask how their dishes were made.

My wife called,"Will you come here and make your darling daughter eat her food?"
I threw the newspaper away and rushed to the scene.My only daughter looked frightened.Tears
were welling up in her eyes.In front of her was a bowl filled with curd rice which she particularly
hated.But my mother and my wife believed firmly that curd rice is beneficial to health.I cleared my
throat,and picked up the bowl."Dina,why don't you take a few mouthfuls?Just for Dad's sake,dear."
Dina softened a bit,and wiped her tears with the back of her hands."OK,Dad.I will eat not just a few
mouthfuls,but the whole lot.But,you should."She hesitated."Dad,if I eat this entire curd rice,will
you give me whatever I ask for?""Oh sure,darling,"I replied."Promise."
My girl stared at her mom and continued,"Ask Mom also to give a promise."My wife put her
hand on Dina's and said,"Promise.""Dear,you still want a new computer?Dad doesn't have that kind
of money right now.OK?I became a bit anxious.
"No,Dad.I don't want anything expensive,"Slowly and painfully,she finished eating the rice.
Dina came to me with her eyes wide with expectation.All our attention was on her.She demanded,
"Dad,I want to have my head shaved off this Sunday!"My wife shouted,"A girl having her head
shaved off?Impossible!"
"Dina,can you ask for something else?Seeing you with a clean-shaven head,we'll be sad,"I said.
But Dina said,"No,Dad.I don't want anything else.You promised to reward me with whatever I ask
for.Now,you are going back on your words.Was it not you who told me the story of King
Harishchandra,and its moral that we should honor our promises no matter what?"Dina was in tears.
It was time for me to call the shots for our promise must be kept.
