The post-camp help will last _______. A. until the end of November B. until the beginning of the next year C. until girls achieve success in their lives D. until girls can keep their weight off forever B Seeking comfort in a disorderly world, Jennie Brennan and Jacob Peter have found an unlikely source of well-being: quietly rescuing and helping London’s pigeons (鸽子). Pigeons in urban areas often suffer from a preventable condition known as “string-foot”, in which litter (垃圾) such as thread, fishing line or human hair gets wrapped around their toes. Untreated, the birds can lose a toe, or even a whole foot. “There are so many problems in my life and in the lives of people I care about that I can’t really do anything about,” said Brennan, of the London Pigeon Rescue. “But what I can do is save a pigeon’s life, or their toes, or restore their abilities. That might seem like a small difference, but to that pigeon, it’s massive.” On rescues, the pair of volunteers use seeds to attract pigeons, then gently cover them with a kitchen towel before removing any tight trash with scissors. “It’s a man-made problem,” Brennan said. “I think someone needs to be responsible for helping them with the problem that we’ve created.” Brennan first began feeding pigeons in 2021 after reading they were going hungry. Over time, she began noticing injuries and sought help on Facebook from Peter, who was already rescuing birds. Since then, the two have worked together and attempted to tend to the birds three to four times a week, often responding to tips from concerned members of the public. “Liking pigeons as much as I do means that I have little friends everywhere I go. I was busy, stressed, and felt a bit sorry for myself. Then I saw a couple of pigeons pass by, and it instantly brightened my day,” Brennan said. 24. What is a main problem that urban pigeons in London often suffer from? A. A shortage of food. B. Attacks from other animals. C. Exposure to extreme weather. D. Getting caught in human-made litter. 25. How does Brennan feel about rescuing pigeons? A. It is a lifelong commitment. B. It is surprisingly easy to get into. C. It brings her a sense of purpose and joy. D. It is stressful and takes up too much time. 26. How did Brennan and Peter start working together? A. Through contact on Facebook. B. By meeting at a wildlife shelter. C. Through their friends’ introduction. D. With the help of the London Pigeon Rescue. 27. What is the main idea of the text? A. Ways to prevent string-foot in pigeons. B. A mission to rescue London’s pigeons. C. The harm of litter to urban pigeons. D. Two volunteers’ daily life in London. C When students at Brown University enter their campus fitness center and step on a certain treadmill (跑步机), they aren’t only working out. They’re also producing electricity to power the very building they’re in. Brown’s Nelson Fitness Center recently housed a series of cardio (有氧的) machines, made by the company SportsArt, that change human energy into electricity. The gym equipment came about thanks to a student project several years before. Elina Pipa, now a senior at Brown, took a class on climate solutions. The course required students to develop a business case for a real-world climate solution. While some may have imagined distant situations, Pipa chose to focus on something closer to home: Brown University’s own exercise center. Soon, Pipa’s idea became a reality. Gym-goers can see the impact directly. Along with your time or miles, the SportsArt equipment also shows the “instant watts (瓦特)” based on your pace. SportsArt says its equipment can produce up to 220 watt hours of electricity per hour of workout. In a separate test, one reporter found that 30 minutes of walking created about 80 watt hours of electricity, enough to power an LED light for about six hours. “It was super exciting because you could see that there is an impact,” she says. “When you see that even your gym equipment can do something, you start understanding it is possible to have habits in your life that are positive for the environment.” This gym equipment is in place now—with even more machines on the way, she says. The fact shows that students don’t have to wait until they graduate to take climate action. “You don’t need to reinvent the wheel to have an impact,” she says. “Sometimes it’s about taking an existing idea and running with it.” 28. What is special about Brown University fitness center? A. It is powered by workouts. B. It has traditional treadmills. C. It offers tailored fitness plans. D. It provides free fitness classes. 29. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. task from SportsArt. B. The origin of Pipa’s idea. C. A project of Brown University. D. The solution to a business case. 30. Why does the author mention the separate test in paragraph 3? A. To record the progress of users. B. To stress the benefits of walking. C. To tell the methods of producing power. D. To prove the effectiveness of the equipment. 31. What does Pipa recommend students do to help the environment? A. Form good habits. B. Start with inventions. C. Focus on academics first. D. Act on current ideas now. D We all love our parents and turn to them when we’re in need, but would you like them to hear the conversations you have with your friends in the school playground or lunch queue? Social networking sites have become virtual extensions of the school hallways, so would you add your parents as “friends” and allow them to view your online activities and conversations with friends? In the past, the generation gap included a technology gap, where children were up to date with the latest technology and parents were left behind, content to continue their day-to-day lives as they always had because they had no need to be conversant with technology. However, more and more parents are beginning to realize just how important social networks are in their lives. This realization has given many parents the motivation to educate themselves about social networking sites. These days we teenagers are attracted to social networking sites because we can choose who we have around us; there’s also a certain amount of control over privacy that we don’t get in real life. Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated (侵犯) when we must accept a “friend” request from a parent or family member. It’s a difficult choice whether or not to allow a parent to become a part of our online lives. On the one hand, we don’t want to “reject” their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to hide. On the other hand, if you do accept, then you could have a sense of being watched and no longer feel free to comment or communicate the way you did before. A recent survey suggested that parents shouldn’t take it seriously if their child ignores their request: “When a teen ignores a parent’s friend request, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are hiding something, but it could mean that this is one part of their life where they want to show their independence.” Perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would help soften the blow when you do choose not to add them to your friends list. 32. What does the underlined word “conversant” in the second paragraph probably mean? A. Familiar. B. Careful. C. Patient. D. Busy. 33. What might be the reason for teens to refuse their parents’ friend request? A. They have nothing to hide. B. Their privacy cannot be ensured. C. They don’t want to teach their parents. D. They can’t choose friends around them. 34. Why is the survey mentioned in the passage? A. To warn parents. B. To blame parents. C. To challenge parents. D. To comfort parents. 35. What is most likely to be talked about next? A. How to bridge the generation gap. B. How to make friends on social networks. C. How to explain the refusal to parents. D. How to use the social networking sites wisely. 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） 阅读下面短文，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。 Have you ever felt the need to be alone for a while? I don’t mean situations when you should be alone, but occasions where you are with a group of people at a party or a restaurant. You get tired of jumping from conversation to conversation, and your mind starts to wander towards that interesting book you left halfway done, or that movie you have been meaning to watch. ___36___ Now before you rush to defense, please understand that being an introvert (内向的人) is completely normal. A common misunderstanding about introverts is that they are loners or anti-social. ___37___ They have friends, probably not as many as extroverts (外向的人), but enough to suit their needs for human interaction. Scientifically, all humans fall somewhere between being an introvert and being an extrovert, and at least 25 percent of us are introverts. ___38___ Therefore, the ability to network is extremely valuable. Of course, sometimes introverts might be as capable of talking with people as extroverts, but sometimes they have to force themselves to engage with others in order to “fit in”. While extroverts feel comfortable shaking hands and making jokes, introverts get increasingly exhausted. ___39___ For the introverted, to continue in this awkward situation could really end up bringing them harm, with individuals reporting to suffer from loss of sleep, panic attacks and depression. ___40___ They form deep thoughts, conduct themselves carefully, and pay significant attention to detail. So, for the best results in a project involving group work, both introverts and extroverts are needed. A. Society appears to favor extroverts. B. Most introverts, however, are just regular people. C. These are feelings usually typical of an introvert. D. Introverts tend to recover by spending time alone. E. You might have ignored that “strange” thought you had before. F. Introverts, just like extroverts, have their own set of advantages. G. Even if standing alone for a while, they get asked “Why are you all by yourself?” 第三部分 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。 There is a busy street corner near a bus station where kids change buses going to or from school.

Pete is one of the kids who, for nine and a half minutes each day, have to ___43___ here to change buses. The station smelled strongly of gas, and the nearby land, once possibly a garden, now lay ___44___ with trash — cans, wrappers, and chicken boxes. Most kids ___45___ their time complaining, but Pete felt restless. He began to think: why not make these minutes ___46___ for him and others. One Monday, he arrived with bags and gloves. As he piled the ___47___ into bags, his classmates joked: “Why ___48___ yourself? It’ll just get dirty again” But Pete persisted. On the weekend, he dragged 12 bags to the landfill. Next, he spent pocket money on tulips and lavender (薰衣草) seeds. Each day, he ___49___ the soil and watered seedlings. Slowly, green shoots emerged. Joking turned to admiration when blossoms ___50___ color to the once cheerless corner. Kids began using trash bins; some even ___51___ to help water. One afternoon, an elderly man ___52___ Pete. “I used to garden here decades ago,” he said, handing Pete a watering can. “You’ve ___53___ its soul.” Now, “Pete’s Patch” is growing well. What was once ___54___ is now a symbol of community pride. Pete’s story proves that small acts, if patiently nurtured, can grow into something ___55___. 41. A. heavy B. silent C. gentle D. light 42. A. lesson B. miracle C. dustbin D. game 43. A. study B. wait C. play D. argue 44. A. decorated B. linked C. emptied D. covered 45. A. wasted B. saved C. valued D. scheduled 46.
