After more than two decades of planning and construction at a cost exceeding $1 billion, Egypt officially opened the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) near the Giza Pyramids. This landmark project, one of the world’s largest museums dedicated to a single civilization, showcases Egypt’s ancient history covering over 7,000 years.
Originally estimated at $500 million, the final budget more than doubled, funded through Egyptian government funds and international cooperation. The museum’s design draws inspiration from its setting: its triangular form corresponds to the three main pyramids, and its height is intentionally kept lower than that of the pyramids out of respect for their builders.
Visitors are greeted by the unique Hanging Obelisk, a 3,500-year-old monument suspended above a glass floor. Beyond it, the Grand Staircase leads past giant statues to the main galleries. The museum houses approximately 100,000 artifacts (文物), far more than initially planned. To view each item for one minute would require nearly 70 continuous days.
Among the highlights is the complete collection of Tutankhamun’s treasures — all 5,398 items displayed together for the first time since their 1922 discovery. The museum also features a massive statue of Ramses II, which was carefully relocated from Cairo, and the Khufu Boat Museum, displaying a 4,500-year-old reconstructed solar boat.
The journey to this opening was long and complex. An international architectural competition in 2002 selected the design, but a series of global and regional crises repeatedly delayed the project from its initial 2010 target.
With 79 foreign delegations (代表团) attending the grand opening, Egyptian officials express high hopes that the GEM will significantly boost tourism and the national economy, expecting up to 5 million visitors annually. As one official stated, it represents “Egypt’s gift to the world,” a dream finally realized after years of anticipation, now standing as a bridge between the ancient past and the modern world.
4. What inspires the GEM’s design?
A. Ancient Egyptian boats.
B. Its surroundings.
C. Tutankhamun’s treasures.
D. Cairo’s architectural style.
5. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. Ancient Egyptian royal figures.
B. The age of Khufu’s solar boat.
C. Key exhibits in the GEM.
D. The relocation of Ramses II’s statue.
6. Which word can best describe the GEM?
A. Cheap. B. Controversial.
C. Old. D. Specialized.
7. Where is this text most likely from?
A. A culture report. B. A travel guidebook.
C. A history textbook. D. A fashion magazine.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【导语】文章介绍了大埃及博物馆的建造背景、设计灵感、馆藏亮点及其对旅游业的意义。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The museum’s design draws inspiration from its setting: its triangular form corresponds to the three main pyramids, and its height is intentionally kept lower than that of the pyramids out of respect for their builders.(博物馆的设计从周边环境中汲取灵感:其三角形造型与三座主要金字塔相呼应,并且出于对其建造者的尊重,其高度刻意保持在金字塔之下。)”可知,大埃及博物馆的设计灵感来自其周边环境。
【5题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段中“Among the highlights is the complete collection of Tutankhamun’s treasures — all 5,398 items displayed together for the first time since their 1922 discovery. The museum also features a massive statue of Ramses II, which was carefully relocated from Cairo, and the Khufu Boat Museum, displaying a 4,500-year-old reconstructed solar boat.(其中最引人注目的是图坦卡蒙的全部宝藏——自1922年发现以来,所有5398件藏品首次一起展出。博物馆还展出了一尊巨大的拉美西斯二世雕像,这尊雕像是从开罗小心翼翼地转移过来的,还有胡夫船博物馆,展示了一艘有4500年历史的重建的太阳船。)”可知,本段主要介绍博物馆的重点展品。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“This landmark project, one of the world’s largest museums dedicated to a single civilization, showcases Egypt’s ancient history covering over 7,000 years.(这个具有里程碑意义的项目是世界上最大的单一文明博物馆之一,展示了埃及7000多年的古代历史。)”可知, GEM是专门展示古埃及文明的博物馆,因此“Specialized(专门的、专业化的)”最能描述其特征。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。文章报道了埃及大博物馆的正式开放,介绍了其设计、建设历程、馆藏及对旅游经济的期望,属于文化类新闻报道,因此最可能出自文化报道。

For those seeking an alternative to traditional gyms, a UK organization combines physical activity with volunteer work, creating a meaningful approach to fitness. GoodGym encourages people to “get fit by doing good,” replacing gym treadmills (跑步机) and weights with real-world tasks such as gardening, clearing litter, or helping older adults.
On a cold evening in London, a group wearing running clothes and headlamps works cheerfully in a rooftop community garden. They jog a mile to reach the site, using digging and lifting as their workout. GoodGym operates across England and Wales, with over 26,600 members participating in weekly meetings. Activities range from planting trees and clearing sidewalks to setting up beds for homeless people. Members report that committing to these projects motivates them to exercise regularly.
“I go to the normal gym usually and I do other sorts of exercise, but this is my fixed once-a-week run with the GoodGym group,” said Jason Kurtis, 42, who was among the regulars working in the south London garden. “It’s really fun and it forces me to get out, especially on a Monday night when it’s cold and in the middle of winter.”
The idea began in 2007 when founder Ivo Gormley, missing team sports and disliking gyms, started running to deliver a newspaper to an older neighbor. He began organizing group runs to help with local projects, and GoodGym grew into a registered charity. The model proved popular, expanding to numerous cities as it addressed both community needs and individuals’ desire for purposeful exercise.
Research led by the London School of Economics suggests that combining volunteering with exercise may offer enhanced mental health impacts. A study of 3,600 current and potential members found reductions in loneliness, improvements in life satisfaction, and social connectedness beyond what either activity alone typically provides. These findings could help shape future public health policies.
GoodGym removes typical barriers to exercise: there is no required fee or pressure to attend. As Gormley says, it’s a simple way to get involved — people can join a session with little commitment. By turning community service into a workout, GoodGym makes fitness socially meaningful and accessible to all.
8. What do GoodGym volunteers do on the cold evening in London?
A. Sell tickets for community events.
B. Run on treadmills for a long time.
C. Do garden work on the rooftop.
D. Build new houses for the homeless.
9. What is Jason Kurtis’ attitude towards GoodGym?
A. Doubtful. B. Favorable.
C. Uninterested. D. Critical.
10. What can we learn from the research?
A. Combined activities bring more benefits.
B. Exercise alone greatly reduces loneliness.
C. Playing games boosts life satisfaction.
D. Public health policies have been changed.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To introduce a new fitness model.
B. To advertise traditional gym services.
C. To compare exercise and volunteering.
D. To explain ways to improve mental health.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. A
【解析】
【导语】主要介绍英国公益组织GoodGym,将健身与社区志愿结合,介绍运作、起源以及身心方面的多重益处。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“On a cold evening in London, a group wearing running clothes and headlamps works cheerfully in a rooftop community garden. (在伦敦一个寒冷的夜晚,一群穿着跑步服、戴着头灯的人在一处屋顶社区花园里愉快劳作。)”可知,志愿者在屋顶开展园艺工作。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“It’s really fun and it forces me to get out, especially on a Monday night when it’s cold and in the middle of winter. (这真的很有趣,它督促我出门活动,尤其是隆冬时节寒冷的周一夜晚。)”可知,Jason Kurtis认为GoodGym的活动很有趣,还能促使他在寒冷冬天的周一晚上出门锻炼,由此可推断,他对GoodGym持支持、赞许的态度。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Research led by the London School of Economics suggests that combining volunteering with exercise may offer enhanced mental health impacts. A study of 3,600 current and potential members found reductions in loneliness, improvements in life satisfaction, and social connectedness beyond what either activity alone typically provides. (由伦敦政治经济学院牵头的研究表明,志愿服务搭配运动或许能进一步改善心理健康。一项针对3600名现有及潜在参与者的研究发现,相较于单独开展任一活动,二者结合能更好缓解孤独感、提升生活满意度与社交联结。)”可知,两项活动结合能带来更多好处。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是首段中的“For those seeking an alternative to traditional gyms, a UK organization combines physical activity with volunteer work, creating a meaningful approach to fitness. GoodGym encourages people to “get fit by doing good,” replacing gym treadmills (跑步机) and weights with real-world tasks such as gardening, clearing litter, or helping older adults. ( 对于想要替代传统健身房的人群,英国一家机构将体育运动与志愿工作相结合,打造出一种富有意义的健身方式。GoodGym倡导人们“行善强身”,用园艺劳作、清理垃圾、帮扶老人这类实际工作取代健身房的跑步机与举重器械。)”可知,文章通篇介绍这种新式健身模式的相关内容,写作目的是介绍新型健身模式。

“Treat the Earth well; it was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children,” says a Kenyan saying. This wisdom reflects a crucial reality for a nation where an estimated 42% of GDP and 70% of employment rely on nature-dependent sectors like tourism and agriculture. It also warns against biodiversity loss — a major threat to Kenyan communities.
Like much of the world, Kenya has faced significant species decline due to population growth, habitat destruction, and climate change. In response, the country has developed an innovative approach that integrates science, policy, and business while empowering local communities. These efforts offer a valuable example for other nations globally.
Kenya is currently updating its National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) to fit the global Kunming-Montreal Biodiversity Framework (GBF). The GBF sets ambitious 2030 targets to conserve ecosystems, address biodiversity loss, and integrate nature into economic planning. With only four years left until the deadline, countries must ensure their NBSAPs are practical and effective.
“Updating an NBSAP is complex,” says Doreen Robinson of UNEP. “But the real test is uniting government and society to turn policy into action. Kenya has created a mechanism to achieve exactly that.”
This mechanism is Kenya’s National Biodiversity Coordination Mechanism (NBCM). Launched in August 2024 and led by the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change and Forestry, it moves beyond treating biodiversity as a single ministry’s concern. Instead, it promotes a “whole-of-government, whole-of-society” approach. The NBCM brings together ministries, county governments, civil society, Indigenous communities, youth, researchers, and the private sector onto one platform. It matches national goals with global frameworks, enables cross-sector collaboration, empowers non-state actors to contribute solutions, and improves monitoring through more consistent information systems.
This inclusive model is gaining international attention as a best practice for operationalizing broad collaboration in conservation. It is also delivering tangible results. Kenya recently announced that its elephant population has grown to over 36,000 after decades of decline. The population of critically endangered black rhinos — nearly 80% of East Africa’s total — has also risen to over 850.
By coordinating action across society, Kenya is working to ensure that the earth “loaned by its children” is preserved for generations to come.
12. What is the function of the Kenyan saying in paragraph 1?
A. To offer a solution to poverty.
B. To stress the importance of tourism.
C. To show cultural charm of Kenya.
D. To introduce the topic of the text.
13. What problem has Kenya faced?
A. Failure of policy-making.
B. Weak global cooperation mechanism.
C. Significant decline in species.
D. Poor monitoring of information systems.
14. What does the underlined word “tangible” probably mean?
A. Unclear and unnoticeable.
B. Practical and observable.
C. Complex and unachievable.
D. Imaginary and unrealistic.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Global Targets for Ecosystem Protection
B. The Importance of Nature-dependent Sectors
C. The Growth of Elephant Population in Kenya
D. Kenya’s Efforts in Biodiversity Conservation
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】文章由肯尼亚谚语引出生态保护话题,介绍肯尼亚因多种因素遭遇物种锐减,该国出台相关方案与协调机制保护生物多样性,并取得了野生动物数量回升的实际成效。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中““Treat the Earth well; it was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children,” says a Kenyan saying. This wisdom reflects a crucial reality for a nation(“善待地球;它不是你的父母给你的,而是你的孩子借给你的。”这种智慧反映了一个国家的关键现实)”以及“It also warns against biodiversity loss—a major threat to Kenyan communities.(它还对生物多样性的丧失提出了警告——这是肯尼亚社区面临的一个主要威胁。)”可知,肯尼亚谚语是为了引出文章关于生物多样性保护的话题。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Like much of the world, Kenya has faced significant species decline due to population growth, habitat destruction, and climate change. (与世界许多地方一样,肯尼亚也因人口增长、栖息地破坏和气候变化而面临物种显著减少。)”可知,肯尼亚面临物种显著减少的问题。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第六段中“It is also delivering tangible results. Kenya recently announced that its elephant population has grown to over 36,000 after decades of decline. The population of critically endangered black rhinos — nearly 80% of East Africa’s total — has also risen to over 850.(它也带来了“tangible”的成果。肯尼亚最近宣布,在经历了几十年的下降之后,该国的大象数量已经增长到36000多头。极度濒危的黑犀牛数量——几乎占东非总数的80%——也上升到850多头。)”可知,后文列举看得见的实际成果,可推知“tangible”表示“切实可见的”。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,文章主要介绍了肯尼亚为应对生物多样性丧失而采取的创新措施,包括建立国家生物多样性协调机制 (NBCM),并取得了实际成效。因此最佳标题为“Kenya‘s Efforts in Biodiversity Conservation(肯尼亚在生物多样性保护方面的努力)”。

Parents often imagine a certain future for their children. ____16____ — whether in career, relationships, or lifestyle — it builds trust and confidence. This phrase tells adult children that their decisions are respected, not judged.

【17题详解】
根据上文“Saying “I am here for you” and then truly listening without interrupting or fixing things can mean more than advice.(说出“我在这儿陪你”,然后真正倾听,不打断、不急于解决问题,这比建议更有意义)”可知,空格处需强调“陪伴和耐心”的意义。A选项“Presence and patience show love in a quiet but strong way (陪伴和耐心以一种沉默却有力的方式表达爱)”承接上文,解释了“我在这儿陪你”这句话的深层内涵,符合语境。故选A项。
【18题详解】
根据上文“An honest apology for past actions or unmet emotional needs can be powerful.(对过去的行为或未满足的情感需求真诚道歉,效果会很显著)”可知,空格处需说明道歉的意义——体现父母的认知。E选项“It shows a parent’s awareness that their choices have caused pain(这体现了父母意识到自己的选择曾带来伤害)”承接上文,符合语境。故选E项。
【19题详解】
根据下文“This question prevents misunderstandings. Instead of assuming what an adult child needs during tough times, asking directly shows care and respect.(这个问题能避免误解。与其猜测成年子女在困境中需要什么,直接询问更能体现关心和尊重)可知,空格处需是一个问句,且围绕“询问子女需求”展开。B选项“Are you looking for advice, or would you like me to listen(你是需要建议,还是希望我倾听)”是直接询问子女需求的问句,符合段落主旨,与下文衔接流畅。故选B项。
【20题详解】
根据下文“When used with sincerity, they can strengthen family ties, encourage honesty, and create a safe space for both parents and adult children to grow together.(如果真诚地运用,它们能够增进家庭纽带,鼓励坦诚相待,并为父母和成年子女创造一个共同成长的安全空间)”可知,空格处需总起下文,强调这些话语的意义。C选项“These phrases may seem simple, but they carry deep meaning(这些话语看似简单,却蕴含深刻意义)”承上启下,总结前文提到的四句短语,引出下文它们带来的积极影响,符合语境。故选C项。

Dear Lucy,
I want to tell you about a great activity I joined in last Sunday — my class’s “Green Weekend” beach clean-up. We went to the nearby coast after breakfast, each bringing gloves and garbage bags. As soon as we got there, everyone worked hard — we picked up litter everywhere, and even reminded tourists not to leave trash on the beach.

Yours,

47. 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’m home, Mom,” Rhys, my six-year-old son, was returning from his first day of the new school year. He had left the house that morning wearing gray high-tops, Levis jeans, and a blue football shirt — all purchased especially for the occasion.
Before I could even say hello, I noticed something alarming: His new shoes looked like he’d worn them for months. The jeans had one knee barely hanging on, and the other wasn’t far behind. And the blue football shirt? Apparently, Rhys had taken up painting in black and red.
“Oh, Rhys!” I said, more disappointed than surprised. “How on earth did you manage...?”
“It was a rough day,” he whispered.
The next day, I went to my sister. “We had a talk after he went to bed,” I told her. “Next time, he won’t wipe (擦) paint on his shirt — he’ll find something else. It’s never the same thing, but it’s always something.”
My sister hesitated and then said, “Have you thought about buying his things from a thrift shop (二手店)? At least until he grows out of this messy stage.”
A thrift shop? I’d heard people talk about it—friends mentioned finding bargains (便宜货) and clothes that looked nearly new. But the idea never appealed to me. I’d always imagined thrift shops being dark and disorganized. I couldn’t picture myself stepping into one. I nodded politely, but inside I thought, “That’s just not for us.”
Then life took an unexpected turn a year later. Money became tight for us. At the same time, Rhys kept growing — and destroying — his clothes faster than I could keep up. With each trip to the department store, I watched our budget decrease.
One afternoon, standing in front of a rack of children’s clothes and staring at price tags I could no longer ignore, I felt the weight of reality settle in. My sister’s words came back to me. Should I walk into a thrift shop?
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next morning, I decided to give it a try.

From that day on, I was drawn to thrift shopping.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
The next morning, I decided to give it a try. I parked outside a thrift shop, half expecting to see a messy, uninviting place. But when I stepped inside, I was genuinely surprised. The store was clean, bright, and well-organized. I picked up a pair of jeans that looked nearly new and a sweater in excellent condition—both for a fraction of what I would have paid elsewhere. That evening, I showed the clothes to Rhys. His eyes lit up. “Cool! I like those clothes!” he exclaimed. I felt a weight lift off my shoulders.
From that day on, I was drawn to thrift shopping. I started visiting thrift shops regularly, bringing home clothes for Rhys and even finding nice skirts for myself. Soon, I discovered a community of like-minded people who shared the same values. Together, we enjoyed the thrill of hunting for quality secondhand items. Even after our finances improved, I stuck with it—not only because it saved money, but because I came to believe in giving good things a second life. What began as a financial necessity became a meaningful choice.

After more than two decades of planning and construction at a cost exceeding $1 billion, Egypt officially opened the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) near the Giza Pyramids. This landmark project, one of the world’s largest museums dedicated to a single civilization, showcases Egypt’s ancient history covering over 7,000 years.
Originally estimated at $500 million, the final budget more than doubled, funded through Egyptian government funds and international cooperation. The museum’s design draws inspiration from its setting: its triangular form corresponds to the three main pyramids, and its height is intentionally kept lower than that of the pyramids out of respect for their builders.
Visitors are greeted by the unique Hanging Obelisk, a 3,500-year-old monument suspended above a glass floor. Beyond it, the Grand Staircase leads past giant statues to the main galleries. The museum houses approximately 100,000 artifacts (文物), far more than initially planned. To view each item for one minute would require nearly 70 continuous days.
Among the highlights is the complete collection of Tutankhamun’s treasures — all 5,398 items displayed together for the first time since their 1922 discovery. The museum also features a massive statue of Ramses II, which was carefully relocated from Cairo, and the Khufu Boat Museum, displaying a 4,500-year-old reconstructed solar boat.
The journey to this opening was long and complex. An international architectural competition in 2002 selected the design, but a series of global and regional crises repeatedly delayed the project from its initial 2010 target.
With 79 foreign delegations (代表团) attending the grand opening, Egyptian officials express high hopes that the GEM will significantly boost tourism and the national economy, expecting up to 5 million visitors annually. As one official stated, it represents “Egypt’s gift to the world,” a dream finally realized after years of anticipation, now standing as a bridge between the ancient past and the modern world.
4. What inspires the GEM’s design?
A. Ancient Egyptian boats.
B. Its surroundings.
C. Tutankhamun’s treasures.
D. Cairo’s architectural style.
5. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. Ancient Egyptian royal figures.
B. The age of Khufu’s solar boat.
C. Key exhibits in the GEM.
D. The relocation of Ramses II’s statue.
6. Which word can best describe the GEM?
A. Cheap. B. Controversial.
C. Old. D. Specialized.
7. Where is this text most likely from?
A. A culture report. B. A travel guidebook.
C. A history textbook. D. A fashion magazine.

For those seeking an alternative to traditional gyms, a UK organization combines physical activity with volunteer work, creating a meaningful approach to fitness. GoodGym encourages people to “get fit by doing good,” replacing gym treadmills (跑步机) and weights with real-world tasks such as gardening, clearing litter, or helping older adults.
On a cold evening in London, a group wearing running clothes and headlamps works cheerfully in a rooftop community garden. They jog a mile to reach the site, using digging and lifting as their workout. GoodGym operates across England and Wales, with over 26,600 members participating in weekly meetings. Activities range from planting trees and clearing sidewalks to setting up beds for homeless people. Members report that committing to these projects motivates them to exercise regularly.
“I go to the normal gym usually and I do other sorts of exercise, but this is my fixed once-a-week run with the GoodGym group,” said Jason Kurtis, 42, who was among the regulars working in the south London garden. “It’s really fun and it forces me to get out, especially on a Monday night when it’s cold and in the middle of winter.”
The idea began in 2007 when founder Ivo Gormley, missing team sports and disliking gyms, started running to deliver a newspaper to an older neighbor. He began organizing group runs to help with local projects, and GoodGym grew into a registered charity. The model proved popular, expanding to numerous cities as it addressed both community needs and individuals’ desire for purposeful exercise.
Research led by the London School of Economics suggests that combining volunteering with exercise may offer enhanced mental health impacts. A study of 3,600 current and potential members found reductions in loneliness, improvements in life satisfaction, and social connectedness beyond what either activity alone typically provides. These findings could help shape future public health policies.
GoodGym removes typical barriers to exercise: there is no required fee or pressure to attend. As Gormley says, it’s a simple way to get involved — people can join a session with little commitment. By turning community service into a workout, GoodGym makes fitness socially meaningful and accessible to all.
8. What do GoodGym volunteers do on the cold evening in London?
A. Sell tickets for community events.
B. Run on treadmills for a long time.
C. Do garden work on the rooftop.
D. Build new houses for the homeless.
9. What is Jason Kurtis’ attitude towards GoodGym?
A. Doubtful. B. Favorable.
C. Uninterested. D. Critical.
10. What can we learn from the research?
A. Combined activities bring more benefits.
B. Exercise alone greatly reduces loneliness.
C. Playing games boosts life satisfaction.
D. Public health policies have been changed.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To introduce a new fitness model.
B. To advertise traditional gym services.
C. To compare exercise and volunteering.
D. To explain ways to improve mental health.

“Treat the Earth well; it was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children,” says a Kenyan saying. This wisdom reflects a crucial reality for a nation where an estimated 42% of GDP and 70% of employment rely on nature-dependent sectors like tourism and agriculture. It also warns against biodiversity loss — a major threat to Kenyan communities.
Like much of the world, Kenya has faced significant species decline due to population growth, habitat destruction, and climate change. In response, the country has developed an innovative approach that integrates science, policy, and business while empowering local communities. These efforts offer a valuable example for other nations globally.
Kenya is currently updating its National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) to fit the global Kunming-Montreal Biodiversity Framework (GBF). The GBF sets ambitious 2030 targets to conserve ecosystems, address biodiversity loss, and integrate nature into economic planning. With only four years left until the deadline, countries must ensure their NBSAPs are practical and effective.
“Updating an NBSAP is complex,” says Doreen Robinson of UNEP. “But the real test is uniting government and society to turn policy into action. Kenya has created a mechanism to achieve exactly that.”
This mechanism is Kenya’s National Biodiversity Coordination Mechanism (NBCM). Launched in August 2024 and led by the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change and Forestry, it moves beyond treating biodiversity as a single ministry’s concern. Instead, it promotes a “whole-of-government, whole-of-society” approach. The NBCM brings together ministries, county governments, civil society, Indigenous communities, youth, researchers, and the private sector onto one platform. It matches national goals with global frameworks, enables cross-sector collaboration, empowers non-state actors to contribute solutions, and improves monitoring through more consistent information systems.

47. 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’m home, Mom,” Rhys, my six-year-old son, was returning from his first day of the new school year. He had left the house that morning wearing gray high-tops, Levis jeans, and a blue football shirt — all purchased especially for the occasion.
Before I could even say hello, I noticed something alarming: His new shoes looked like he’d worn them for months. The jeans had one knee barely hanging on, and the other wasn’t far behind. And the blue football shirt? Apparently, Rhys had taken up painting in black and red.
“Oh, Rhys!” I said, more disappointed than surprised. “How on earth did you manage...?”
“It was a rough day,” he whispered.
The next day, I went to my sister. “We had a talk after he went to bed,” I told her. “Next time, he won’t wipe (擦) paint on his shirt — he’ll find something else. It’s never the same thing, but it’s always something.”
My sister hesitated and then said, “Have you thought about buying his things from a thrift shop (二手店)? At least until he grows out of this messy stage.”
A thrift shop? I’d heard people talk about it—friends mentioned finding bargains (便宜货) and clothes that looked nearly new. But the idea never appealed to me. I’d always imagined thrift shops being dark and disorganized. I couldn’t picture myself stepping into one. I nodded politely, but inside I thought, “That’s just not for us.”
Then life took an unexpected turn a year later. Money became tight for us. At the same time, Rhys kept growing — and destroying — his clothes faster than I could keep up. With each trip to the department store, I watched our budget decrease.
One afternoon, standing in front of a rack of children’s clothes and staring at price tags I could no longer ignore, I felt the weight of reality settle in. My sister’s words came back to me. Should I walk into a thrift shop?
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next morning, I decided to give it a try.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
From that day on, I was drawn to thrift shopping.
