In Hazelwood, a group called Seedlings (幼苗) for Tomorrow gives every child three plants to grow in their own garden. Unlike a public park, these plants are theirs to keep forever. Kids “check out” at the city’s greenhouse not with money, but by joining the group’s Garden Buddy project. This project pairs each young gardener with an adult guide. They have a 45-minute online meeting each week to learn about gardening and nature. “Every kid should feel the joy of growing something with their own hands,” said Orson Pike, the project director.
Orson started the non-profit organization Seedlings for Tomorrow in 2022. Soon he realized that just giving away plants wasn’t enough. “Some groups think dropping off supplies is helping. But if people don’t know how to use them, it’s like giving them a stone,” he explained. That’s why the program focuses on teaching skills — like how to water plants properly, what seasons are best for planting, and how to protect flowers from insects. At the greenhouse, children can pick from sunflowers, strawberries, lavender, and even small vegetable kits. There are guidebooks in both English and Welsh.
Orson is already 70, but he’s always been enthusiastic about the growth of the next generation. He believes that by letting kids choose what they love, they’ll grow into passionate gardeners. Many kids even share their progress with classmates, making gardening a social activity.
To attract more families, Seedlings for Tomorrow visits local primary schools and community centers. Orson also hopes to build small green stations around town where people can exchange seeds and gardening tips. The project has received $20,000 from the UK-based Ecology Fund. The fund manager Elara Vane said, “Such programs are essential — they teach patience, responsibility and love for the environment, which helps kids both in and out of school,” adding that parents have noticed their children becoming more confident since joining the project.
24. What can a kid do by joining Garden Buddy project?
A. Volunteer at the city’s greenhouse. B. Get gardening knowledge online.
C. Sell garden plants to the adult guide. D. Receive free three plants every week.
25. What philosophy does Orson’s project show?
A. Hard work is the mother of success. B. Guide others, and you will learn twice.
C. Creative activities involve being confident. D. Teach a man to fish, not give him a fish.
26. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Children gained more than gardening skills.
B. Other cities will soon adopt the same program.
C. Money from the UK covered the project’s costs.
D. Local schools played a leading role in the project.
27. Which word best describes Orson?
A. Adventurous and curious. B. Practical and humorous.
C. Determined and caring. D. Flexible and ambitious.
C
When we hear “art”, most of us picture ancient sculptures or classic ink paintings in museums. Few of us, however, would associate the term with dancing lights in the dark. Yet for American artist Janet Echelman, light itself has become her material. Her works glow at night like colourful clouds floating in mid-air. At one of her exhibitions in Vancouver, visitors could do far more than simply admire the works — by directing their phones at them, they could alter the colours and patterns at will. Such works are novel and exciting, but they also raise a question worth pondering: should we still call this art?
In fact, art and technology were never meant to be strangers. For thousands of years, painters and sculptors kept employing the finest tools available to give expression to their ideas. It is just that people like Michelangelo were remembered as “artists” rather than “technicians”. Consequently, people came to believe that art and technology belonged to two separate worlds.
That belief, however, is now changing. Technology has not only transformed how art is made but also who can enjoy it. A case in point is Along the River During the Qingming Festival, a five-metre-long painting from the Song Dynasty. Because the original is so fragile that it is seldom exposed to public view, visitors once had to queue for up to six hours, only to be permitted a few minutes in front of it. Now, a digital version has reached millions of people. With 3D animation, the figures in the painting walk and talk, and the scenes along the river slowly shift from daytime to night.
What is more, ordinary people can now participate in creating art. With digital tools readily at hand, anyone with an idea can have a try, producing works that earlier generations could hardly have imagined.
However, easier creation also brings new problems. With so much art being produced, people start to question its quality. Can a slow-motion video of someone cutting a tomato really be called “art”? Also, as machines take on more creative work, who the “artist” is becomes increasingly unclear. In one project, researchers fed Rembrandt’s techniques and data into a computer, and a 3D printer produced a new “Rembrandt painting” — 347 years after the painter died. If a machine can paint like a great artist, what is left for the artist?
Nobody knows where technology will take art. But one thing is certain: the future of art will be full of surprises.
28. What does the author suggest about visitors’ interaction with Echelman’s works in Vancouver?
A. They could paint cloud-like pictures on the spot.
B. They could adjust the works’ appearance through their phones.
C. They could reshape the works by touching them directly.
D. They could watch the works respond to changes in weather.
29. What does the author mainly want to show by using Along the River During the Qingming Festival?
A. Digital technology can bring ancient artworks closer to the public
B. Chinese paintings are better preserved than Western sculptures
C. Old paintings are too fragile to be displayed in museums
D. Visitors should be given more time to appreciate original works
30. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 5 most probably mean?
A. Given food to eat. B. Provided with information.
C. Connected to a network. D. Replaced by new programs.
31. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Death of Traditional Art B. Technology: An Artist’s New Tool
C. Art Meets Technology: A Changing World D. Rembrandt Reborn Through 3D Printing
D
For a long time, people imagined trees as independent giants — silent witnesses of history, standing firmly through storms and seasons. Poets and philosophers often described them as symbols of endurance, wisdom, or even loneliness. But modern research invites us to see trees in a new light: not as isolated individuals, but as members of a networked, cooperative, and communicative community.
Scientists have discovered that trees are deeply connected to one another, both above and below the ground. High in the forest canopy (树冠), leaves send out chemical signals when attacked by insects, warning nearby trees to defend themselves. Underground, a vast web of fungi called mycorrhizal networks links tree roots together, allowing them to share water, nutrients, and information. Through these connections, healthy trees can support weaker ones, and even dying “Mother Trees” pass on resources to the next generation.
This perspective breaks away from the old romantic image of the lone tree. Instead, forests appear more like societies, where survival depends on cooperation as much as competition. Just as humans rely on families, friends, and communities, trees also thrive through cooperation. They show us that strength in nature is not only about standing tall alone, but also about being part of a greater whole.
The new vision of trees also leads us to philosophical questions. Can trees be considered intelligent if they react to their environment and communicate with one another? They have no brains, nerves, or senses like humans, yet they demonstrate strategies for survival that seem surprisingly sophisticated. Some scientists hesitate to use words like “intelligence” or “awareness,” but it is clear that trees show forms of interaction we once believed only animals could achieve:
Understanding trees as social beings challenges us to rethink our relationship with nature. Forests are not silent backgrounds to human life; they are living communities with lessons to offer. By observing how trees share, communicate, and adapt together, we may learn something valuable about cooperation, resilience, and the balance needed in our own societies.
32. What is the function of mycorrhizal networks underground?
A. They prevent insects from damaging roots.
B. They protect trees from storms and winds.
C. They help trees grow taller by supporting the trunks.
D. They connect trees, allowing the sharing of resources.
33. What can be inferred about “Mother Trees”?
A. They are symbolic rather than real.
B. They have special senses that detect danger.
C. They give up resources for the survival of younger trees
D. They are the tallest trees among all the trees in the forest.
34. Which best summarizes the new vision of trees presented in the passage?
A. Trees are intelligent life forms equal to humans.
B. Trees survive by competing for light and water.
C. Trees live as part of interconnected systems that share and cooperate.
D. Trees should be admired mainly for their beauty, strength and loneliness.
35. What is the author’s attitude toward the idea of trees as social beings?
A. Strongly against it. B. Supportive and reflective
C. Neutral and uninterested. D. Doubtful but open-minded.

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。
The last lesson of the day was PE. Mary was skipping rope on the playground, surrounded by classmates watching. It was her best sport. The rope spun quickly as she jumped. When time was up, the counter showed 201 skips. Smiling, Mary flashed a victory sign to the crowd. Just then, the bell rang — class was over. Mary packed up her rope. It was time to give Ms. White her answer.
That morning, Ms. White had asked whether she would take charge of the class noticeboard for the upcoming competition. Lily, who usually handled it, was out sick, and someone had to step in. Mary was shocked that Ms. White had chosen her. She responded nervously, insisting her handwriting was terrible. But Ms. White reassured (使安心) her, saying she believed in her ability and encouraged her to think it over and let her know after school.
Now, walking toward the teachers’ office, Mary felt nervous. The thought of her messy handwriting being put up on the wall for everyone to see made her stomach turn. She had already made up her mind to say no. With that decision in mind, she quickened her pace and ran across the sports ground.
Mary was about to pass the sandpit when someone nearby caught her attention. It was Tom from another class. In her mind, Tom had never been good at long jump, but he was practicing it. Curious, she went over to ask what he was doing. Tom explained that no one else had signed up for the long jump, and without a participant, their class wouldn’t get any points in the school sports meeting. So when the headteacher asked if anyone would give it a try, he volunteered. Mary reminded him that he wasn’t good at it, but Tom simply said that he knew — and that it wasn’t about being the best, but about trying and doing his part for the class. Then he went back to practicing. What a similar issue they both faced!
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Mary stood there, watching Tom practicing patiently and hard.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With determination, Mary stepped into the teachers’ office.

In Hazelwood, a group called Seedlings (幼苗) for Tomorrow gives every child three plants to grow in their own garden. Unlike a public park, these plants are theirs to keep forever. Kids “check out” at the city’s greenhouse not with money, but by joining the group’s Garden Buddy project. This project pairs each young gardener with an adult guide. They have a 45-minute online meeting each week to learn about gardening and nature. “Every kid should feel the joy of growing something with their own hands,” said Orson Pike, the project director.
Orson started the non-profit organization Seedlings for Tomorrow in 2022. Soon he realized that just giving away plants wasn’t enough. “Some groups think dropping off supplies is helping. But if people don’t know how to use them, it’s like giving them a stone,” he explained. That’s why the program focuses on teaching skills — like how to water plants properly, what seasons are best for planting, and how to protect flowers from insects. At the greenhouse, children can pick from sunflowers, strawberries, lavender, and even small vegetable kits. There are guidebooks in both English and Welsh.
Orson is already 70, but he’s always been enthusiastic about the growth of the next generation. He believes that by letting kids choose what they love, they’ll grow into passionate gardeners. Many kids even share their progress with classmates, making gardening a social activity.
To attract more families, Seedlings for Tomorrow visits local primary schools and community centers. Orson also hopes to build small green stations around town where people can exchange seeds and gardening tips. The project has received $20,000 from the UK-based Ecology Fund. The fund manager Elara Vane said, “Such programs are essential — they teach patience, responsibility and love for the environment, which helps kids both in and out of school,” adding that parents have noticed their children becoming more confident since joining the project.
24. What can a kid do by joining Garden Buddy project?
A. Volunteer at the city’s greenhouse. B. Get gardening knowledge online.
C. Sell garden plants to the adult guide. D. Receive free three plants every week.
25. What philosophy does Orson’s project show?
A. Hard work is the mother of success. B. Guide others, and you will learn twice.
C. Creative activities involve being confident. D. Teach a man to fish, not give him a fish.
26. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Children gained more than gardening skills.
B. Other cities will soon adopt the same program.
C. Money from the UK covered the project’s costs.
D. Local schools played a leading role in the project.
27. Which word best describes Orson?
A. Adventurous and curious. B. Practical and humorous.
C. Determined and caring. D. Flexible and ambitious.
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. A 27. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了非盈利组织“Seedlings for Tomorrow”由Orson Pike于2022年创办,通过Garden Buddy项目为孩子们提供植物并教授园艺技能,培养他们的责任感、耐心和自信心,并积极拓展项目影响力。

C
When we hear “art”, most of us picture ancient sculptures or classic ink paintings in museums. Few of us, however, would associate the term with dancing lights in the dark. Yet for American artist Janet Echelman, light itself has become her material. Her works glow at night like colourful clouds floating in mid-air. At one of her exhibitions in Vancouver, visitors could do far more than simply admire the works — by directing their phones at them, they could alter the colours and patterns at will. Such works are novel and exciting, but they also raise a question worth pondering: should we still call this art?
In fact, art and technology were never meant to be strangers. For thousands of years, painters and sculptors kept employing the finest tools available to give expression to their ideas. It is just that people like Michelangelo were remembered as “artists” rather than “technicians”. Consequently, people came to believe that art and technology belonged to two separate worlds.
That belief, however, is now changing. Technology has not only transformed how art is made but also who can enjoy it. A case in point is Along the River During the Qingming Festival, a five-metre-long painting from the Song Dynasty. Because the original is so fragile that it is seldom exposed to public view, visitors once had to queue for up to six hours, only to be permitted a few minutes in front of it. Now, a digital version has reached millions of people. With 3D animation, the figures in the painting walk and talk, and the scenes along the river slowly shift from daytime to night.
What is more, ordinary people can now participate in creating art. With digital tools readily at hand, anyone with an idea can have a try, producing works that earlier generations could hardly have imagined.
However, easier creation also brings new problems. With so much art being produced, people start to question its quality. Can a slow-motion video of someone cutting a tomato really be called “art”? Also, as machines take on more creative work, who the “artist” is becomes increasingly unclear. In one project, researchers fed Rembrandt’s techniques and data into a computer, and a 3D printer produced a new “Rembrandt painting” — 347 years after the painter died. If a machine can paint like a great artist, what is left for the artist?
Nobody knows where technology will take art. But one thing is certain: the future of art will be full of surprises.
28. What does the author suggest about visitors’ interaction with Echelman’s works in Vancouver?
A. They could paint cloud-like pictures on the spot.
B. They could adjust the works’ appearance through their phones.
C. They could reshape the works by touching them directly.
D. They could watch the works respond to changes in weather.
29. What does the author mainly want to show by using Along the River During the Qingming Festival?
A. Digital technology can bring ancient artworks closer to the public
B. Chinese paintings are better preserved than Western sculptures
C. Old paintings are too fragile to be displayed in museums
D. Visitors should be given more time to appreciate original works
30. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 5 most probably mean?
A. Given food to eat. B. Provided with information.
C. Connected to a network. D. Replaced by new programs.
31. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Death of Traditional Art B. Technology: An Artist’s New Tool
C. Art Meets Technology: A Changing World D. Rembrandt Reborn Through 3D Printing
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. B 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了艺术家Janet Echelman以光为材料的互动作品,回顾了艺术与技术曾被割裂的历史,说明了技术如何改变艺术的创作方式、欣赏方式和参与方式,同时也指出了艺术创作门槛降低、机器参与创作带来的新问题,最后展望艺术与科技融合的未来充满惊喜。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“At one of her exhibitions in Vancouver, visitors could do far more than simply admire the works — by directing their phones at them, they could alter the colours and patterns at will. (在温哥华的一次展览中,参观者能做的远不止欣赏作品——把手机对准作品,他们就可以随意改变颜色和图案。)”可知,参观者可以通过手机调整作品的外观。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“A case in point is Along the River During the Qingming Festival , a five-metre-long painting from the Song Dynasty. Because the original is so fragile that it is seldom exposed to public view, visitors once had to queue for up to six hours, only to be permitted a few minutes in front of it. Now, a digital version has reached millions of people. (一个典型的例子是宋代长达五米的《清明上河图》。由于原作极为脆弱,很少有机会公开展示,游客曾需排队长达六小时,才能在画前停留几分钟。如今,其数字版本已让数以百万计的人欣赏到这幅名画。)”可知,作者用《清明上河图》主要想说明数字技术能让古代艺术作品更接近公众。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段中“In one project, researchers fed Rembrandt’s techniques and data into a computer, and a 3D printer produced a new ‘Rembrandt painting’ (在一个项目中,研究人员把伦勃朗的技法和数据输入计算机,一台3D打印机就制作出了一幅新的‘伦勃朗画作’)”可知,此处指把伦勃朗的技法和数据提供给计算机,即“为计算机提供信息”。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。文章开篇由Janet Echelman以光为材料的作品引出“这是否还算艺术”的问题,接着说明艺术与技术并非陌路,技术正在改变艺术的创作、欣赏与参与方式,同时也带来新的问题,最后展望未来。全文围绕“艺术与技术的相遇与融合”展开,C项“Art Meets Technology: A Changing World (艺术遇上技术:一个变化中的世界)”最能概括全文,适合作标题。
D
For a long time, people imagined trees as independent giants — silent witnesses of history, standing firmly through storms and seasons. Poets and philosophers often described them as symbols of endurance, wisdom, or even loneliness. But modern research invites us to see trees in a new light: not as isolated individuals, but as members of a networked, cooperative, and communicative community.
Scientists have discovered that trees are deeply connected to one another, both above and below the ground. High in the forest canopy (树冠), leaves send out chemical signals when attacked by insects, warning nearby trees to defend themselves. Underground, a vast web of fungi called mycorrhizal networks links tree roots together, allowing them to share water, nutrients, and information. Through these connections, healthy trees can support weaker ones, and even dying “Mother Trees” pass on resources to the next generation.
This perspective breaks away from the old romantic image of the lone tree. Instead, forests appear more like societies, where survival depends on cooperation as much as competition. Just as humans rely on families, friends, and communities, trees also thrive through cooperation. They show us that strength in nature is not only about standing tall alone, but also about being part of a greater whole.
The new vision of trees also leads us to philosophical questions. Can trees be considered intelligent if they react to their environment and communicate with one another? They have no brains, nerves, or senses like humans, yet they demonstrate strategies for survival that seem surprisingly sophisticated. Some scientists hesitate to use words like “intelligence” or “awareness,” but it is clear that trees show forms of interaction we once believed only animals could achieve:
Understanding trees as social beings challenges us to rethink our relationship with nature. Forests are not silent backgrounds to human life; they are living communities with lessons to offer. By observing how trees share, communicate, and adapt together, we may learn something valuable about cooperation, resilience, and the balance needed in our own societies.
32. What is the function of mycorrhizal networks underground?
A. They prevent insects from damaging roots.
B. They protect trees from storms and winds.
C. They help trees grow taller by supporting the trunks.
D. They connect trees, allowing the sharing of resources.
33. What can be inferred about “Mother Trees”?
A. They are symbolic rather than real.
B. They have special senses that detect danger.
C. They give up resources for the survival of younger trees
D. They are the tallest trees among all the trees in the forest.
34. Which best summarizes the new vision of trees presented in the passage?
A. Trees are intelligent life forms equal to humans.
B. Trees survive by competing for light and water.
C. Trees live as part of interconnected systems that share and cooperate.
D. Trees should be admired mainly for their beauty, strength and loneliness.
35. What is the author’s attitude toward the idea of trees as social beings?
A. Strongly against it. B. Supportive and reflective
C. Neutral and uninterested. D. Doubtful but open-minded.
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了人们过去认为树木是孤独的巨人。现代研究发现,树木通过真菌网络相连、互助共生,这改变了我们对自然的认知,也让我们懂得团结与合作的重要性。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Underground, a vast web of fungi called mycorrhizal networks links tree roots together, allowing them to share water, nutrients, and information. (在地下,存在着一个庞大的真菌网络——被称为菌根网络,它将树木的根系连接在一起,使它们能够共享水分、养分和信息。)”可知,地下菌根网络的作用是将树木连接起来,使树木能够共享资源。故选D。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Through these connections, healthy trees can support weaker ones, and even dying “Mother Trees” pass on resources to the next generation. (通过这些联系,健康的树木能够为较弱的树木提供养分,甚至那些濒临死亡的“母树”也会将资源传递给下一代树木。)”可知,“母树”会为幼树的存活而放弃自身资源。故选C。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“But modern research invites us to see trees in a new light: not as isolated individuals, but as members of a networked, cooperative, and communicative community. (但现代研究让我们对树木有了全新的认识:它们不再被视为孤立的个体,而是在一个相互连接、相互合作且相互交流的群体中存在着。)”可知,树木作为相互关联的系统的一部分而存在,它们会共享资源并相互协作。故选C。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Understanding trees as social beings challenges us to rethink our relationship with nature. Forests are not silent backgrounds to human life; they are living communities with lessons to offer. By observing how trees share, communicate, and adapt together, we may learn something valuable about cooperation, resilience, and the balance needed in our own societies. (将树木视为具有社会属性的生物,促使我们重新审视人与自然的关系。森林并非人类生活的无声背景,而是充满生机的生物群落,蕴含着诸多启示。通过观察树木如何相互分享、交流和共同适应,我们或许能从中领悟到有关合作、适应力以及我们自身社会所需平衡的重要道理。)”可知,作者对将树木视为社会生物这一观点是支持且有所反思态度。故选B。

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。
The last lesson of the day was PE. Mary was skipping rope on the playground, surrounded by classmates watching. It was her best sport. The rope spun quickly as she jumped. When time was up, the counter showed 201 skips. Smiling, Mary flashed a victory sign to the crowd. Just then, the bell rang — class was over. Mary packed up her rope. It was time to give Ms. White her answer.
That morning, Ms. White had asked whether she would take charge of the class noticeboard for the upcoming competition. Lily, who usually handled it, was out sick, and someone had to step in. Mary was shocked that Ms. White had chosen her. She responded nervously, insisting her handwriting was terrible. But Ms. White reassured (使安心) her, saying she believed in her ability and encouraged her to think it over and let her know after school.
Now, walking toward the teachers’ office, Mary felt nervous. The thought of her messy handwriting being put up on the wall for everyone to see made her stomach turn. She had already made up her mind to say no. With that decision in mind, she quickened her pace and ran across the sports ground.
Mary was about to pass the sandpit when someone nearby caught her attention. It was Tom from another class. In her mind, Tom had never been good at long jump, but he was practicing it. Curious, she went over to ask what he was doing. Tom explained that no one else had signed up for the long jump, and without a participant, their class wouldn’t get any points in the school sports meeting. So when the headteacher asked if anyone would give it a try, he volunteered. Mary reminded him that he wasn’t good at it, but Tom simply said that he knew — and that it wasn’t about being the best, but about trying and doing his part for the class. Then he went back to practicing. What a similar issue they both faced!
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Mary stood there, watching Tom practicing patiently and hard.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With determination, Mary stepped into the teachers’ office.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】例文
Mary stood there, watching Tom practicing patiently and hard. Again and again, he ran, jumped and landed, adjusting his posture each time though he failed many times. Tom’s words echoed in her mind. It dawned on her that she had focused too much on being perfect. The point was not to have beautiful handwriting, but to try her best for her class. A surge of courage washed over her, and she changed her mind at once.
With determination, Mary stepped into the teachers’ office. Looking straight at Ms. White, she said firmly that she would take on the bulletin board task and give it her best effort. A big smile spread across Ms. White’s face. She patted Mary’s shoulder and praised her bravery. Mary promised to spare time to design and decorate the board carefully. Deep in her heart, she knew she would not let her class down.
