M: So you spent the whole night inside the car
W: Yes. I managed to contact the emergency services finally. They knew my location from my phone signal. They’d called to ask if I needed an ambulance and luckily I didn’t need it, so they just cleared the snow and led me along the road back to the main road.

First of all, applicants must be over 18 years of age. The company apologizes, but there can be no exceptions to this rule. Second, people interested in these positions may not have police records. A parking ticket and things like that are, of course, no problem. The employer will, of course, check with the police to confirm your clean record.
In addition, applicants must supply references from past or present employers or teachers along with their recent CV. These references must be relevant to the applicant’s work habits. Remember, these are references from employers or teachers. A note from your dear old Mum won’t do. Worldwide Helpers assures me that they will contact these references to confirm they are genuine.
Although all positions are volunteers, the employer will cover some of your expenses. For example, they will pay for transportation to and from the job site. Aside from that, the cost of phone calls is covered. But I’m sorry to say that you have to have dinner at your own home.

South Baltimore is often thought of as a place to avoid—folks are taught to be careful of it. There was a mass shooting this past July, and another in early September.
“People think Curtis Bay is a dangerous place. It’s not. It’s just we’re surrounded by dangerous things,” says Taysia Thompson, 17.
Taysia, is one of the Free Your Voice members, a group of student activists fighting against a very different kind of danger in their neighborhood: air pollution and climate change. Now, the focus of their movement is the mountains of coal. Coal releases a fine, black dust small enough to get into people’s lungs. It makes respiratory (呼吸的) diseases worse, or can even cause disease and premature death. And there are the greenhouse gas emissions after the coal is burned.
The teens of Free Your Voice are taking on a big opponent: the massive goods transportation company CSX, which transported more than 8 million tons of coal through South Baltimore in 2021. The goal is to eventually get the state regulators to deny the permit that CSX needs to operate, or at least require the company to enclose all the coal, or at the very least put water onto all of it so there’s less dust blowing around.
This past summer, Taysia and three other students spent their time gathering evidence to try and get the coal pollution out of their neighborhood. They used sticky paper to gather samples of dust from all over the neighborhood to prove that the dust is from coal. They are also sending dust samples to a scientist in California, who uses an electron microscope to compare the dust that’s in this neighborhood to samples from the piles of coal at the terminal in South Baltimore to see if it matches.
The students now have support from their community. But the responses from officials have not been very satisfying. “Everyone is just breathing the air. And we will keep fighting.” says Taysia.
24. Why do the teens of Free Your Voice take CSX as an opponent
A. To cure lung diseases. B. To tackle air pollution.
C. To resist mass shootings. D. To cut premature death rate.
25. What do the teens of Free Your Voice hope to achieve
A. Scientists will examine the dust samples.
B. Officials will refuse CSX the operation permit.
C. State regulators will keep fighting against pollution.
D. Locals in Curtis Bay will clear the mountains of coal away.
26. What can be inferred about the teens’ fight
A. It isn’t all plain sailing. B. It will definitely end in victory.
C. The teens lack solid evidence. D. The teens work on it all by themselves.
27. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Tourists Avoiding Dangerous South Baltimore
B. Teens Gaining Support in Environmental Protection
C. Student Activists Pushing back against Big Polluter
D. 17-year-old Girl Combating Coal Pollution in Neighborhood
【答案】24. B 25. B 26. A 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了位于南巴尔的一群学生活动家——Free Your Voice成员,他们致力于与莫尔地区存在空气污染问题作斗争。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Taysia, is one of the Free Your Voice members, a group of student activists fighting against a very different kind of danger in their neighborhood: air pollution and climate change. Now, the focus of their movement is the mountains of coal. Coal releases a fine, black dust small enough to get into people’s lungs. It makes respiratory (呼吸的) diseases worse, or can even cause disease and premature death. And there are the greenhouse gas emissions after the coal is burned. (Taysia是Free Your Voice的成员之一,这是一群学生活动家,他们与社区中一种截然不同的危险作斗争:空气污染和气候变化。现在,他们运动的焦点是堆积如山的煤炭。煤会释放出细小的黑色尘埃,小到足以进入人们的肺部。它使呼吸系统疾病恶化,甚至可能导致疾病和过早死亡。还有煤炭燃烧后的温室气体排放。)”以及第四段中“The teens of Free Your Voice are taking on a big opponent: the massive goods transportation company CSX, which transported more than 8 million tons of coal through South Baltimore in 2021. (Free Your Voice 的青少年们正在面对一个巨大的对手:大型货物运输公司CSX,该公司在2021年通过南巴尔的摩运输了超过800万吨煤炭。)”可知,Free Your Voice的青少年将CSX作为对手是为了解决空气污染问题,故选B项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段中“The goal is to eventually get the state regulators to deny the permit that CSX needs to operate, or at least require the company to enclose all the coal, or at the very least put water onto all of it so there’s less dust blowing around. (目标是最终让州监管机构拒绝CSX运营所需的许可证,或者至少要求公司封闭所有煤炭,或者至少将水浇灌到所有煤炭上,以减少灰尘的吹动。)”可知,Free Your Voice的青少年希望实现的目标是让官方拒绝CSX的运营许可,故选B项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“The students now have support from their community. But the responses from officials have not been very satisfying. (学生们现在得到了社区的支持。但官员们的回应并不是很令人满意。)”可知,官员并不支持,能推断出他们的抗争并非一帆风顺,故选A项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段中“Taysia, is one of the Free Your Voice members, a group of student activists fighting against a very different kind of danger in their neighborhood: air pollution and climate change. (Taysia 是 Free Your Voice 的成员之一,这是一群学生活动家,他们与社区中一种截然不同的危险作斗争:空气污染和气候变化)” 可知,由学生活动人士组成的组织Free Your Voice,致力于改善巴尔的摩当地由煤炭带来的空气污染,尤其是运输煤炭的污染大户——大型货物运输公司CSX。由此可知,C项“学生积极分子反对污染大户”最适合作本文的标题,故选C项。
C
People who have trouble walking or moving around often have a hard time enjoying the beach. But hundreds of beaches in Greece now offer a new way for people in wheelchairs to get into the water by themselves. It’s called Seatrac.
Seatrac is basically a chair on a moving ramp (活动梯) that can smoothly carry a disabled person into the sea. Once in the sea, the person can either remain in the chair, enjoying the water, or go for a swim. The chair is operated by remote control. When the person is ready to get out of the water, the Seatrac system brings the chair back to the top of the ramp. It’s even possible to take a shower in the Seatrac chair after going for a swim.
Seatrac was invented and developed in Greece. The idea for it came when one of the inventors, Ignatios Fotiou, was talking with a friend who used a wheelchair. The friend said he enjoyed the sea, but didn’t like having to be carried into the ocean as if he were a “sack of potatoes”. Mr. Fotiou realized that there must be a way to make it easier for wheelchair users to enjoy the water. He worked with his partner and a professor at a Greek university to design the system. In time, they formed a company called TOBEA to build and sell the systems.
The company worked hard to make the system simple to put in place and easy to run. A wooden walkway allows wheelchair users to reach the Seatrac. The system is solar powered and can continue to run even if the electricity goes out. The Scatrac system can easily be packed up and stored when swimming season ends.
This summer, the Seatrac system is being used at over 220 beaches in Greece, Cyprus, Italy, and Latvia. Thanks to Seatrac, people who use wheelchairs now have the chance to cool down with a dip in the sea.
28. Which of the following can best describe Scatrac
A. Practical and user-friendly. B. Automatic and life-saving.
C. Flexible and energy-efficient. D. Stylish and smooth-running.
29. Why did Mr. Fotiou design Seatrac
A. He desired to make a profit from it.
B. He longed to form a wheelchair company.
C. He wanted to help his friend have fun in the sea.
D. He hoped to save his friend from others’ ridiculing.
30. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The advantages of the Seatrac system. B. The success of the TOBEA company.
C. The efforts of the TOBEA company. D. The application of the Seatrac system.
31. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To encourage care for disabled people.
B. To explain the principle of the Seatrac system,
C. To provide strategies for building a wheelchair.
D. To introduce a new invention for wheelchair users.
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了希腊发明的一种名为Seatrac的系统,该系统能够帮助使用轮椅的人士更轻松地进入海水中享受游泳。文章介绍了Seatrac系统的原理和功能,系统的应用范围和优势。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“Seatrac is basically a chair on a moving ramp (活动梯) that can smoothly carry a disabled person into the sea. Once in the sea, the person can either remain in the chair, enjoying the water, or go for a swim. The chair is operated by remote control. (Seatrac基本上是活动梯上的一把椅子,可以平稳地将残疾人带入大海。一旦进入海中,这个人可以留在椅子上,享受水,或者去游泳。椅子由遥控器操作)”可知,Seatrac是实用且方便的,故选A项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“The idea for it came when one of the inventors, Ignatios Fotiou, was talking with a friend who used a wheelchair. The friend said he enjoyed the sea, but didn’t like having to be carried into the ocean as if he were a “sack of potatoes”. (发明者之一Ignatios Fotiou在与一位使用轮椅的朋友交谈时产生了这个想法。这位朋友说他喜欢大海,但不喜欢像一袋土豆一样被带进大海)”可知,Mr. Fotiou设计Seatrac是因为他想帮助他的朋友在海里玩得开心。故选C项。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“The company worked hard to make the system simple to put in place and easy to run. A wooden walkway allows wheelchair users to reach the Seatrac. The system is solar powered and can continue to run even if the electricity goes out. The Scatrac system can easily be packed up and stored when swimming season ends. (该公司努力使该系统易于安装和运行。木制人行道允许轮椅使用者到达Seatrac。该系统由太阳能供电,即使停电也可以继续运行。Scatrac系统可以在游泳季节结束时轻松打包和存放)”可知,本段主要讲述了Scatrac系统的优势,故选A项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,并结合第一段的“But hundreds of beaches in Greece now offer a new way for people in wheelchairs to get into the water by themselves. It’s called Seatrac.(但希腊数百个海滩现在为坐轮椅的人自己下水提供了一种新方式。它叫做Seatrac)”可知,整篇文章围绕着Seatrac系统展开,介绍了它的功能、设计理念、应用场景、制造公司等等。因此,文章的主要目的是介绍这个新的发明。故选D项。
D
Lifestyle creep, sometimes called lifestyle inflation, is when living expenses and non-essential expenditures grow with income. In bad cases of lifestyle creep, this unnecessary spending can cut into savings.
Lifestyle creep is most visible among high earners, but anyone can fall into this trap. Who hasn’t justified eating out more often every week after receiving a 1 or 2 percent raise The temptation of a more costly lifestyle is difficult to resist. If you’re making enough money to afford a larger apartment, shouldn’t you move to a larger apartment
Improving your standard of living as your income increases isn’t an objectively bad thing, but when that habit cuts into your savings efforts, it can be a major financial risk. As Katie Waters, a financial planner at Stable Waters Financial, says, “Something’s got to give.”
Then how to avoid lifestyle creep It just takes the same moderation and planning you used when you had a smaller income. If you can, head off lifestyle creep from the beginning by giving your raise or bonus money a purpose immediately. This can be to pay down debt, save for a house, or add to retirement accounts. This way, you won’t be tempted to spend it on a non-necessity. If you fear you’ve already fallen victim to lifestyle inflation at any level, you can still turn your spending around. If you are putting all your expenses on your credit card, Waters recommends rearranging so only routine, fixed monthly expenses are on the card. “The monthly variable costs—food, clothing, personal care, purchases for the home, the list goes on—are where your money slips away easily.” Waters says, “Calculate your possible savings each pay period and put that money into a separate checking account.”
“As with all things, the secret to managing your finances like an adult is a constant strive for balance,” Waters says. “Have fun along the way, but don’t let the tail wag the dog.”
32. What can we learn about lifestyle creep
A. It contributes to a pay raise. B. It refers to a high living standard,
C. It sometimes affects a person’s savings. D. It only traps people with a high income.
33. Why does the author quote Katie Waters’ words in paragraph 3
A. To list the bad consequences of lifestyle creep.
B. To stress the importance of giving in one’s life.
C. To show that lifestyle creep is quite understandable.
D. To support that lifestyle creep can cause financial problems.
34. What can be done to avoid lifestyle creep
A. Put all the expenses on a credit card. B. Save the bonus money for a non-necessity.
C. Increase the monthly costs on food and clothing. D. Set different checking accounts for specific purposes.
35. What do the underlined words “don’t let the tail wag the dog” in the last paragraph mean
A. Don’t bite the hand that feeds you. B. Don’t put the cart before the horse.
C. Don’t do one thing under the cover of another D. Don’t count the chicken before they are hatched.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍“生活方式蠕变”是什么,对人们生活的影响以及如何避免生活方式蠕变。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“In bad cases of lifestyle creep, this unnecessary spending can cut into savings.(在糟糕的情况下,这种不必要的开支会减少储蓄)”可知,生活方式蠕变有时会影响一个人的储蓄。故选C。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Improving your standard of living as your income increases isn’t an objectively bad thing, but when that habit cuts into your savings efforts, it can be a major financial risk. As Katie Waters, a financial planner at Stable Waters Financial, says, “Something’s got to give.”(随着收入的增加而提高生活水平,这在客观上并不是一件坏事,但当这种习惯削减了你的储蓄努力时,它可能是一个重大的财务风险。正如Stable Waters的理财规划师凯蒂·沃特斯所说,“总要有所付出。”)”可推知,作者在第三段引用凯蒂·沃特斯的话是为了支持这种生活方式的蠕变会导致财务问题。故选D。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Then how to avoid lifestyle creep It just takes the same moderation and planning you used when you had a smaller income. (那么如何避免生活方式的蠕变呢 它只需要你在收入较少时使用的同样的适度和计划)”以及““The monthly variable costs—food, clothing, personal care, purchases for the home, the list goes on—are where your money slips away easily.” Waters says, “Calculate your possible savings each pay period and put that money into a separate checking account.”(“每月的可变成本——食物、衣服、个人护理、家庭用品等等——是你的钱很容易溜走的地方。”沃特斯说:“计算每个工资期可能的储蓄,并将这笔钱存入一个单独的支票账户。”)”可知,为特定目的设置不同的支票账户能避免生活方式的蠕变。故选D。
【35题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“As with all things, the secret to managing your finances like an adult is a constant strive for balance(与所有事情一样,像成年人一样管理财务的秘诀是不断努力保持平衡)”可知,沃特斯说与所有事情一样,像成年人一样管理财务的秘诀是不断努力保持平衡。即不影响让财务影响自己的生活,而是应该努力保持财务平衡,即“不要本末倒置”。故划线句意思是“不要本末倒置”。故选B。

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。
Getting negative feedback never feels good. In fact, it pretty much always sucks. Even though it feels bad, constructive feedback is meant to help us grow and improve. Here are some strategies that can help you use negative feedback constructively, leading to positive change.
____36____ Your instinct may be to get upset or justify yourself instantly, but it’s important to remain as professional as possible in the moment. Even when your criticizer is factually wrong, the response “You’re wrong!” won’t ever be helpful. The key is to listen without planning your reply. Simply nod until the other person has completely finished.
Recognize the good intentions. Remember, the people who will give you tough feedback are the people who really care about your success. People who tell you only what they know you want to hear don’t really care about you.____37____
Don’t let it harm your confidence. Whatever you do, don’t allow negative feedback to destroy your self-esteem.____38____ Whatever went wrong won’t define you forever if you apply the feedback constructively and use it to your advantage.
Practice self-affirmation.____39____ It can be helpful to remind yourself of other aspects of your identity that are not in question to boost your confidence. For example, you could say: “Yes, my team thinks I’m a micromanager, but I can work on that, I am also a nice partner, committed volunteer and talented singer.’’
Set actionable goals. It can be helpful to break down the feedback into specific, actionable goals. ____40____ Set time to outline an action plan and timeline for each of these goals. With this, you can keep track of your progress and hold yourself accountable to your goals.
Though negative feedback may be disheartening, take the necessary steps to become an even better version of yourself.
A. Avoid reacting defensively.
B. Don’t take the feedback personally.
C. These can feel easier to work with and give you direction.
D. You don’t have to apply every piece of feedback you receive.
E. Negative feedback can sometimes make you feel like a failure.
F. It’s almost impossible to consistently do everything right all the time.
G. So instead of reacting negatively, thank those caring about you to give you honest feedback.
【答案】36. A 37. G 38. F 39. E 40. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些帮助你建设性地利用负面反馈,导致积极的变化的策略。
【36题详解】
根据本段内容“Your instinct may be to get upset or justify yourself instantly, but it’s important to remain as professional as possible in the moment. Even when your criticizer is factually wrong, the response “You’re wrong!” won’t ever be helpful. The key is to listen without planning your reply. Simply nod until the other person has completely finished.(你的本能可能会让你心烦意乱,或者立刻为自己辩护,但在那一刻尽可能保持专业是很重要的。即使批评你的人实际上是错的,“你错了!”这句话不会有任何帮助。关键是倾听而不是计划你的回答。只要点头,直到对方完全说完)”可知,本段的主旨是避免在收到批评时,立刻为自己辩护,即防御性反应。故A选项“避免防御性的反应”符合语境,故选A。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Recognize the good intentions. Remember, the people who will give you tough feedback are the people who really care about your success. People who tell you only what they know you want to hear don’t really care about you.(认识到良好的意图。记住,给你严厉反馈的人是真正关心你成功的人。那些只告诉你他们知道你想听的话的人并不是真的关心你)”可知,上文提到了给你严厉反馈的人是真正关心你的人,故本句与上文构成因果关系,指出应该感谢这些人。故G选项“所以,与其消极地回应,不如感谢那些关心你的人给你诚实的反馈”符合语境,故选G。
【38题详解】
根据上文“Don’t let it harm your confidence. Whatever you do, don’t allow negative feedback to destroy your self-esteem.(不要让它伤害你的信心。无论你做什么,都不要让负面的反馈毁掉你的自尊)”以及后文“Whatever went wrong won’t define you forever if you apply the feedback constructively and use it to your advantage.(如果你建设性地运用反馈并将其转化为你的优势,那么无论什么错误都不会永远定义你)”可知,上文提到了无论做什么,都不要让负面反馈毁掉你的自尊,故本句说明负面反馈时有发生,故F选项“始终如一地做好每件事几乎是不可能的”符合语境,故选F。
【39题详解】
根据上文“Practice self-affirmation.(实践自我肯定)”以及后文“It can be helpful to remind yourself of other aspects of your identity that are not in question to boost your confidence. For example, you could say: “Yes, my team thinks I’m a micromanager, but I can work on that, I am also a nice partner, committed volunteer and talented singer.’’(提醒自己其他没有问题的方面会对增强自信很有帮助。例如,你可以说:“是的,我的团队认为我是一个微观管理者,但我可以改进,我也是一个很好的合作伙伴,忠诚的志愿者和有才华的歌手。”)”可知,后文主要说明了从其他方面肯定自己的能力,可推测本句是在说明负面反馈带来的负面影响。故E选项“负面反馈有时会让你觉得自己很失败”符合语境,故选E。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Set actionable goals. It can be helpful to break down the feedback into specific, actionable goals.(设定可行的目标。将反馈分解成具体的、可操作的目标是很有帮助的)”可知,本句承接上文,说明设定目标的作用,C选项中These指代上文goals。故C选项“他们会让你感觉更容易相处,给你指明方向”符合语境,故选C。

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。
Green Thumb
All I did was show my little sister how to grow plants. Dig a hole. Put in a seed. Cover it with dirt. Water it. Wait. “See, Laynie,” I explained, “a whole plant will grow from this tiny seed. All we have to do is water it.”
Laynie had her own watering can so she could “help” me in the garden. One day, after everything was watered, she ran to the fence and started sprinkling water on another spot. I walked over and saw a fresh patch of dirt near the fence.
“Did you plant something there ” I asked.
“Yes,” she said. “I’m growing a pencil. My purple pencil got too small, so I planted it.”
“What But, Laynie—”
I should have explained things right then, but I just muttered, “Uh…I never grew one before.”
Later I got what seemed like a great idea. I dug up Laynie’s pencil and “planted” a brand-new purple pencil. Laynie was really excited when she saw it. “My pencil grew!” she shouted.
A few days later, Laynie was watering on the same spot. Two days later, new crayons sticking their pointy little heads out, thanks to me. Laynie jumped up and down and yelled, “They look like flowers!” She “picked” them and ran into the house.
Next, Laynie grew an adult bear doll from a tiny one, a soup spoon from a teaspoon, and a hand mirror from a piece of glass. When she claimed that she had grown these things, I just kept my mouth shut! Actually, it was fun trying to think of what should grow from Laynie’s seeds. And it was cool to see her get excited.
One day I saw her patting down some dirt near the fence again, so I knew she’d just planted something. My heart dropped to my feet when she asked, “How long does it take to grow a goldfish, Brad ” I couldn’t speak.
“Not long, I bet!” said Laynie. She knelt down to whisper “Grow, Molly. Grow!” before she skipped back to the house.
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 sat down with my back to the fence and thought for a long time.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Later I found Laynie sitting by the spot where Molly was buried.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
I sat down with my back to the fence and thought for a long time. Sighing, I decided there was only one right thing to do. I got up, took some things from the shed, and went inside. When I displayed the short pencil, the crayons, the teaspoon... on the table, Laynie was dumbfounded. Then I explained how I’d dug up and replaced all of her things. “No!” she screamed, red-faced. With a big shove, she knocked everything off the table. “Laynie,” I swallowed hard and added, “Molly isn’t going to grow either.” At this, she burst into tears and ran off. The heart pierced with guilt, I felt like a worm.
Later I found Laynie silting by the spot where Molly was buried. I sat down beside her, gently held her in my embrace and apologized. Laynie turned her face away. I went on, ‘‘See, you can grow things from seeds—not from pencils or... dead things. OK ” “Just seeds ” she asked, face still tear-stained. I nodded. She looked at me for a minute as if thinking about something. Later that day, after we had a funeral for Molly, I saw Laynie patting down some dirt on Molly’s grave. My heart tightened. “I’m growing some forget-me-nots, so Molly won’t forget me,” she said. This time, I thought “the green thumb” would have a real harvest.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者让女儿帮自己种东西,天真的女儿以为什么东西都可以种,所以她种了铅笔、蜡笔、茶匙等等,作者为了维护女儿的天真,一直悄悄地让女儿种的东西“长”出来。直到女儿把金鱼埋到土里作者才解释了真相。女儿听到了真相后一时无法接受,但在作者的耐心解释下她终于理解了种植的含义。女儿亲手种下了勿忘我,希望金鱼不要忘了她,而作者也相信这次女儿种的东西一定会有真正的收获。

由续写第二段首句“后来我发现蕾妮在埋葬莫莉的地方淤积。”可知,第二段可以描述作者对女儿解释种植的真正意义,女儿也理解了只有种子才能生长出真正的东西,于是种了勿忘我。
2. 段落续写:背对栅栏思索——决定告诉真相——拿出偷偷种过的东西——女儿因无法接受真相而跑掉了——自己充满愧疚——在埋金鱼的地方找到女儿——告诉女儿什么才能种——女儿接受了事实——女儿种了勿忘我,作者相信会有真正的收获

South Baltimore is often thought of as a place to avoid—folks are taught to be careful of it. There was a mass shooting this past July, and another in early September.
“People think Curtis Bay is a dangerous place. It’s not. It’s just we’re surrounded by dangerous things,” says Taysia Thompson, 17.
Taysia, is one of the Free Your Voice members, a group of student activists fighting against a very different kind of danger in their neighborhood: air pollution and climate change. Now, the focus of their movement is the mountains of coal. Coal releases a fine, black dust small enough to get into people’s lungs. It makes respiratory (呼吸的) diseases worse, or can even cause disease and premature death. And there are the greenhouse gas emissions after the coal is burned.
The teens of Free Your Voice are taking on a big opponent: the massive goods transportation company CSX, which transported more than 8 million tons of coal through South Baltimore in 2021. The goal is to eventually get the state regulators to deny the permit that CSX needs to operate, or at least require the company to enclose all the coal, or at the very least put water onto all of it so there’s less dust blowing around.
This past summer, Taysia and three other students spent their time gathering evidence to try and get the coal pollution out of their neighborhood. They used sticky paper to gather samples of dust from all over the neighborhood to prove that the dust is from coal. They are also sending dust samples to a scientist in California, who uses an electron microscope to compare the dust that’s in this neighborhood to samples from the piles of coal at the terminal in South Baltimore to see if it matches.
The students now have support from their community. But the responses from officials have not been very satisfying. “Everyone is just breathing the air. And we will keep fighting.” says Taysia.
24. Why do the teens of Free Your Voice take CSX as an opponent
A. To cure lung diseases. B. To tackle air pollution.
C. To resist mass shootings. D. To cut premature death rate.
25. What do the teens of Free Your Voice hope to achieve
A. Scientists will examine the dust samples.
B. Officials will refuse CSX the operation permit.
C. State regulators will keep fighting against pollution.
D. Locals in Curtis Bay will clear the mountains of coal away.
26. What can be inferred about the teens’ fight
A. It isn’t all plain sailing. B. It will definitely end in victory.
C. The teens lack solid evidence. D. The teens work on it all by themselves.
27. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Tourists Avoiding Dangerous South Baltimore
B. Teens Gaining Support in Environmental Protection
C. Student Activists Pushing back against Big Polluter
D. 17-year-old Girl Combating Coal Pollution in Neighborhood
C
People who have trouble walking or moving around often have a hard time enjoying the beach But hundreds of beaches in Greece now offer a new way for people in wheelchairs to get into the water by themselves. It’s called Seatrac.
Seatrac is basically a chair on a moving ramp (活动梯) that can smoothly carry a disabled person into the sea. Once in the sea, the person can either remain in the chair, enjoying the water, or go for a swim. The chair is operated by remote control. When the person is ready to get out of the water, the Seatrac system brings the chair back to the top of the ramp. It’s even possible to take a shower in the Seatrac chair after going for a swim.
Seatrac was invented and developed in Greece. The idea for it came when one of the inventors, Ignatios Fotiou, was talking with a friend who used a wheelchair. The friend said he enjoyed the sea, but didn’t like having to be carried into the ocean as if he were a “sack of potatoes”. Mr. Fotiou realized that there must be a way to make it easier for wheelchair users to enjoy the water. He worked with his partner and a professor at a Greek university to design the system. In time, they formed a company called TOBEA to build and sell the systems.
The company worked hard to make the system simple to put in place and easy to run. A wooden walkway allows wheelchair users to reach the Seatrac. The system is solar powered and can continue to run even if the electricity goes out. The Scatrac system can easily be packed up and stored when swimming season ends.
This summer, the Seatrac system is being used at over 220 beaches in Greece, Cyprus, Italy, and Latvia. Thanks to Seatrac, people who use wheelchairs now have the chance to cool down with a dip in the sea.
28. Which of the following can best describe Scatrac
A. Practical and user-friendly. B. Automatic and life-saving.
C. Flexible and energy-efficient. D. Stylish and smooth-running.
29. Why did Mr. Fotiou design Seatrac
A. He desired to make a profit from it.
B He longed to form a wheelchair company.
C. He wanted to help his friend have fun in the sea.
D. He hoped to save his friend from others’ ridiculing.
30. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The advantages of the Seatrac system. B. The success of the TOBEA company.
C. The efforts of the TOBEA company. D. The application of the Seatrac system.
31. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To encourage care for disabled people.
B. To explain the principle of the Seatrac system,
C. To provide strategies for building a wheelchair.
D. To introduce a new invention for wheelchair users.
D
Lifestyle creep, sometimes called lifestyle inflation, is when living expenses and non-essential expenditures grow with income. In bad cases of lifestyle creep, this unnecessary spending can cut into savings.
Lifestyle creep is most visible among high earners, but anyone can fall into this trap. Who hasn’t justified eating out more often every week after receiving a 1 or 2 percent raise The temptation of a more costly lifestyle is difficult to resist. If you’re making enough money to afford a larger apartment, shouldn’t you move to a larger apartment
Improving your standard of living as your income increases isn’t an objectively bad thing, but when that habit cuts into your savings efforts, it can be a major financial risk. As Katie Waters, a financial planner at Stable Waters Financial, says, “Something’s got to give.”
Then how to avoid lifestyle creep It just takes the same moderation and planning you used when you had a smaller income. If you can, head off lifestyle creep from the beginning by giving your raise or bonus money a purpose immediately. This can be to pay down debt, save for a house, or add to retirement accounts. This way, you won’t be tempted to spend it on a non-necessity. If you fear you’ve already fallen victim to lifestyle inflation at any level, you can still turn your spending around. If you are putting all your expenses on your credit card, Waters recommends rearranging so only routine, fixed monthly expenses are on the card. “The monthly variable costs—food, clothing, personal care, purchases for the home, the list goes on—are where your money slips away easily.” Waters says, “Calculate your possible savings each pay period and put that money into a separate checking account.”
“As with all things, the secret to managing your finances like an adult is a constant strive for balance,” Waters says. “Have fun along the way, but don’t let the tail wag the dog.”
32. What can we learn about lifestyle creep
A. It contributes to a pay raise. B. It refers to a high living standard,
C. It sometimes affects a person’s savings. D. It only traps people with a high income.
33. Why does the author quote Katie Waters’ words in paragraph 3
A. To list the bad consequences of lifestyle creep.
B. To stress the importance of giving in one’s life.
C. To show that lifestyle creep is quite understandable.
D. To support that lifestyle creep can cause financial problems.
34. What can be done to avoid lifestyle creep
A. Put all the expenses on a credit card. B. Save the bonus money for a non-necessity.
C. Increase the monthly costs on food and clothing. D. Set different checking accounts for specific purposes.
35. What do the underlined words “don’t let the tail wag the dog” in the last paragraph mean
A. Don’t bite the hand that feeds you. B. Don’t put the cart before the horse.
C. Don’t do one thing under the cover of another D. Don’t count the chicken before they are hatched.

Getting negative feedback never feels good. In fact, it pretty much always sucks. Even though it feels bad, constructive feedback is meant to help us grow and improve. Here are some strategies that can help you use negative feedback constructively, leading to positive change.
____36____ Your instinct may be to get upset or justify yourself instantly, but it’s important to remain as professional as possible in the moment.

Simply nod until the other person has completely finished.

Set actionable goals. It can be helpful to break down the feedback into specific, actionable goals. ____40____ Set time to outline an action plan and timeline for each of these goals. With this, you can keep track of your progress and hold yourself accountable to your goals.
Though negative feedback may be disheartening, take the necessary steps to become an even better version of yourself.

C. These can feel easier to work with and give you direction.
D. You don’t have to apply every piece of feedback you receive.

Green Thumb
All I did was show my little sister how to grow plants. Dig a hole. Put in a seed. Cover it with dirt. Water it. Wait. “See, Laynie,” I explained, “a whole plant will grow from this tiny seed. All we have to do is water it.”
Laynie had her own watering can so she could “help” me in the garden. One day, after everything was watered, she ran to the fence and started sprinkling water on another spot. I walked over and saw a fresh patch of dirt near the fence.
“Did you plant something there ” I asked.
“Yes,” she said. “I’m growing a pencil. My purple pencil got too small, so I planted it.”
“What But, Laynie—”
I should have explained things right then, but I just muttered, “Uh…I never grew one before.”
Later I got what seemed like a great idea. I dug up Laynie’s pencil and “planted” a brand-new purple pencil. Laynie was really excited when she saw it. “My pencil grew!” she shouted.
A few days later, Laynie was watering on the same spot. Two days later, new crayons sticking their pointy little heads out, thanks to me. Laynie jumped up and down and yelled, “They look like flowers!” She “picked” them and ran into the house.
Next, Laynie grew an adult bear doll from a tiny one, a soup spoon from a teaspoon, and a hand mirror from a piece of glass. When she claimed that she had grown these things, I just kept my mouth shut! Actually, it was fun trying to think of what should grow from Laynie’s seeds. And it was cool to see her get excited.
One day I saw her patting down some dirt near the fence again, so I knew she’d just planted something. My heart dropped to my feet when she asked, “How long does it take to grow a goldfish, Brad ” I couldn’t speak.
“Not long, I bet!” said Laynie. She knelt down to whisper “Grow, Molly. Grow!” before she skipped back to the house.
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 sat down with my back to the fence and thought for a long time.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Later I found Laynie sitting by the spot where Molly was buried.
