B 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. “We 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? A. They solved local farmers’ problem. B. They got funds from a local food bank. C. They started an organic farming project. D. They lacked money to buy fresh vegetables. 5. What makes the project special according to Maya and Alex? A. It provides greens for the locals. B. It teaches students basic labor skills. C. It develops scientific farming methods. D. It connects learning with hands-on practice. 6. What is probably Liza Hernandez’s attitude towards the project? A. Negative. B. Cautious. C. Positive D. Indifferent. 7. What does the underlined word “resilience” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Adaptability. B. Complaint. C. Weakness. D. Instability. C 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. 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. D Generative AI 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 AI 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 AI-generated time savings to enhance their personal lives, develop innovations, or increase productivity. However, two surveys of 302 AI 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 AI? 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 AI 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 AI 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 (优化) AI-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 AI in paragraph 1? A. Innovative. B. Time-saving. C. Ineffective. D. Cost-saving. 13. What do the two surveys say about AI-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 AI 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 AI-saved time. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. The AI Efficiency Problem B. The Hidden Waste in AI Time Savings C. The Productivity Paradox of Generative AI D. The Approaches to Managing AI-related Time 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 “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. 第二部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Something magical is happening this summer: a group of high school students from the Golden Connections Club gather at Olive Community Services and learn some new skills — not from videos, but from real grandmas.

There is laughter and burnt cookies, 30 buttons, spilled flour…, but it’s not about 31 . It’s about connection — where generations meet to share the 32 of creating something with their hands. This activity is part of Olive Community Services’ ongoing 33 to reduce senior loneliness. And now they’re also 34 youth. As one camper said, “Together, we’re not just 35 traditions — we’re creating new ones.” 21. A. life-saving B. decision-making C. interpersonal D. practical 22.

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. 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。 I insisted that we must keep our words.
