Here’s what four of them have to say. Kamen, 11, Missouri I live in a small neighborhood where people like to help one another. One winter, I cleared snow for a neighbor going through a tough time. When my friends saw me helping, they joined in — kindness can spread. When neighbors help one another, the community is happier. Even small chores can make someone’s day better. Lucy, 11, Tennessee Did you know your favorite hobby could make a huge difference? Knit (编织) hats for babies to keep newborns warm in the hospital. Draw cards for the elderly. It might be the highlight of their week. Give to an animal shelter: Some shelters accept homemade items. For example, you could take an old T-shirt, cut it into pieces, and sew them together to make a pet toy! Tae, 13, New York Bikes make no engine noise — a cleaner, quieter choice. Before you ride, follow these guidelines: Know the rules: stop at red lights, make way for walkers, and slow down before driveways. Be visible: wear bright clothing by day and reflective materials at night. Always wear a helmet. You can help by donating new or used bike helmets to organizations like the House of Good Deeds. Manvi, 9, Washington Books have introduced me to a fascinating world. So when I found out about a community program called Reading Buddies, I wanted in. As a reading helper, I support young students as they practice reading. Sometimes we talk about the characters or pictures in the story. Seeing one student I helped stand onstage made me feel proud. It showed that even a small amount of time can make a big difference. 21. Who helps others read? A. Kamen. B. Lucy. C. Tae. D. Manvi. 22. Which of the following is most likely a practice of the four members? A. Sharing acting skills on stage. B. Decorating second-hand helmets. C. Making toys for homeless cats. D. Hiring workers to clean the street. 23. The members deliver the speeches mainly to ________. A. compete for a position B. attract new book lovers C. sponsor the Junior Council D. advocate community service B Most of us have secret gardens where we can relax, stretch and refresh. For me, since I can remember, that world has been books. As with many children, books first drew me in through their illustrations. My love of colour was stimulated by the original Babar books; my understanding of lines comes from the Our Wullie annuals, or Tintin. Later, the words became more important to me. I was not happy at boarding school, but I loved spending time in its library. Books became my private garden. So it was no surprise that I studied English at university. Today “English literature” is in sharp decline among senior-level exam subjects and some universities are ceasing to offer it. This is a quiet cultural disaster, one in which we are stealing their best future from our children. It may not lead directly to a good-paying office job. But it has given people like me a reliable friend. Later, work and family made it harder for me to read. As a journalist, I had many deadlines, and as a mother, I often had little time because of children and money worries. Sometimes I read while standing on a moving bus or train. It was difficult, but I kept reading. Every year, I still looked forward to new books by Ian McEwan and many other writers, such as Penelope Fitzgerald and Donna Tartt. Each book gave me a new world to explore and a new friend to meet. At this point, readers may ask whether I would have been better off living — meeting and talking to fleshy actual humans or playing sports. Well, I don’t spend all my life on a sofa with books all around me. There seems to be time for chat and laughter. But without deep and repeated reading of writers who millions of other people have already found friendly and helpful, my life would just be so much narrower and meaner. The great books remain, across most of a lifetime, my secret garden. 24. What does the author think of “English literature”? A. Spiritual comforting. B. Academically difficult. C. Economically rewarding. D. Practically advantageous. 25. What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us about the author? A. Her busy life. B. Her favorite writers. C. Her reading on trips. D. Her insistence on reading. 26. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. Analyze a current trend. B. Defend her point of view. C. Show readers’ misunderstanding of books. D. Prove the importance of real-life activities. C Want to lose fat? There’s one method scientifically proven to work; eating a little less food than your body needs to fuel itself each day. Do that, and your body starts using its energy reserves — its stored fat — to make up the deficit. It sounds straightforward. You dutifully keep track of the calories in every meal to make sure your daily intake stays less than your fixed limit, but your weight never changes at all. It’s frustrating and disheartening. But there’s good news: you’re not to blame. Recent scientific findings suggest it’s almost impossible to count calories with any degree of accuracy, which explains why trying to lose weight by calorie counting is so hard. It’s not bad maths that trips most of us up, though. Generally, unless you diligently log every ingredient before you eat, humans just aren’t very good at recalling exactly what was on their plate, let alone the handful of snacks they ate without thinking. Given all that, it’s no surprise that studies suggest the average person underestimates their daily consumption by around 30 percent (roughly 600-750 calories), or about 10 digestive biscuits. The very idea of working out calorie amounts is problematic. And that’s before we even consider the effect your individual biology can have. For instance, a 2023 study tested the outcomes of giving people a high-fibre diet, designed to feed their gut microbes (肠道菌群). With growing microbial communities in their guts, the scientists found that the participants in the study lost a little bit of weight — without eating less or feeling hungry — because they were absorbing fewer calories from their food. “That means, depending on what you eat and how many microbes are thriving (旺盛繁殖) in your gut, some calories are used by you, while others feed the microbes.” says Professor Rosa Brown, a co-author of the study. If all this is starting to make you think that calorie monitoring might be off the menu, you’d be right. 27. What does the underlined word “deficit” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. Database. B. Shortfall. C. Nutrition. D. Weight. 28. What makes it hard for dieters to count calories? A. Inaccuracy of intake records. B. Lack of tracking approaches. C. Absence of scientific evidence. D. Complexity of calculation procedures. 29. What can we learn from the 2023 study? A. Calorie absorption may vary. B. Eating less means losing weight. C. Fibre reduces people’s hunger. D. Food calories determine body weight. 30. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Forget the Strict Diet B. Simplify Your Calorie Log C. Ski p the Dietary Math D. Adjust Your Diet Structure 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Imagine you’re a kid in an elementary school. You have spent all morning learning new words. Then finally, it is time for a break. You run out of the stuffy (闷的) school building, only to find a large area of burning hot blacktop. 31 Due to decades of paving entire schoolyards to reduce maintenance costs, this is the reality for thousands of city school children. Lamont was one of them. Lack of access to nature does more than reduce social and emotional well-being. Asphalt (沥青) surfaces absorb and give off more heat, creating the “heat island effect,” which can negatively impact human health. 32 . When rainwater washes these substances away, they end up polluting rivers and streams. However, thanks to Reflo and his partners, these lifeless blacktops are being replaced with rich natural environments where kids can learn and play. During the three-year design process, each school chooses which natural elements they want to include, from pollinator (传粉者) gardens to soccer fields to micro-forests. Most schools will include a bioswale (低洼地) that manages stormwater. 33 The new schoolyards are built over the summer to minimize the impact on the academic year, and the habitats support wildlife, like butterflies and bees. “ 34 ” said Lamont. “Thousands of young people, including some of the most socially and economically disadvantaged children, will have significantly better experiences, and they can take a lot of pride in their schools.” Schoolyards are the best strategic investment for environmental improvement. 35 These benefits, in turn, contribute to improved academic performance. What’s more, once the school day is over, the schoolyards are open to the public and serve as community parks. A. They also concentrate pollutants. B. Reflo’s work is truly transformational. C. They will also add outdoor classrooms. D. There isn’t a single tree or any grass in sight. E. The flat surface seems perfect for playing games. F. Nature reduces stress and boosts creative thinking. G. These surfaces prevent water from entering the ground. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分37.5分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1.5分，满分22.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When I started university, it quickly dawned on me that my class wasn’t going to be an easy. place to make friends.
