In 2014, Mahoney performed an act of kindness as part of a Facebook challenge. She picked a 79-year-old senior named Wagner, who regularly gave back to the community. Mahoney wanted to know Wagner better, so they spent a day together, picking up groceries and getting their nails done. “It was the first time in years that someone had made a day about her,” says Mahoney.
Their shared experience got Mahoney thinking. How many other seniors might benefit from dedicated attention She came up with a plan: find local seniors with long-time dreams and work to fulfill their wishes. She named the new charity: We Are Young, or WAY for short.
Seniors can nominate（提名） themselves or be nominated by someone else; wishes are then assessed by a community committee that looks at factors such as age-related physical barriers, social isolation and financial need.
Melanie nominated her husband, 78-year-old Victor, to go rockhounding, a hobby he’d given up when it became too physically difficult to access the bay where he hunted for geodes（晶洞）. The team at WAY hired a boat for him and his son so they could reach the bay and search out geodes on the beach. “Now, Victor has regained his self-confidence and is willing to take on new challenges. We want to show that anything is possible with the support of others,” says Mahoney.
Up to now, WAY has delivered on 41 dreams, ranging from a helicopter trip over a childhood blueberry-picking spot to traveling to Toronto to watch a Blue Jays game. While her charity operates only in Nova Scotia, Mahoney has her own dream. Each WAY wish is recorded on video, and she wants people watching to be inspired to fulfill a wish for a senior in their own community. “We want to create a national movement that shifts how we as a society view, value and support seniors,” says Mahoney. “That is the impact we’re trying to create.”
24．Why did Mahoney set up WAY
A．To complete a Facebook challenge. B．To give back to local communities.
C．To do daily chores for the elderly. D．To help seniors realize their goals.
25．How has WAY affected Victor
A．He has made more friends. B．He has started a new hobby.
C．He has become high-spirited. D．He has regained his son’s support.
26．What does Mahoney intend to do by recording videos
A．Rise to fame and fortune overnight.
B．Keep memories alive for the elderly.
C．Positively change our attitude towards the elderly.
D．Improve interpersonal relationship in the community.
27．What is the text mainly about
A．Lifelong dreams. B．A charity for seniors.
C．Problems seniors meet. D．An unforgettable experience.

NeSmith and Maxwell are long-time residents（居民） of Oglethorpe County, Georgia, and they have known each other for almost 50 years. In 2021, Maxwell called NeSmith to let him know that because of health problems, he would be closing his weekly newspaper, The Oglethorpe Echo. NeSmith decided to prevent the nearly 150-year-old local newspaper from being forgotten.
NeSmith remembered waking up at 6 a. m. after that phone call, He jumped into his truck and drove to The Echo offices. Upon arriving, he suggested that his friend think of a new solution.
“Well, what are we going to do ” Maxwell asked him. “Are you going to buy the newspaper ” NeSmith looked up, searching for an answer, Then, a sudden idea hit him.
He would create an organization and Maxwell would donate The Echo to it. After leaving the office, NeSmith called Charles Davis, director of the University of Georgia’s Grady College.
“I’ve got an idea,” NeSmith told him. “I want to turn The Echo into a real-life experience for students at Grady College who want to be reporters.” Davis loved the idea, and he and NeSmith developed a course with The Echo as its foundation. Students could experience a working newsroom which would act as a stepping stone into their careers.
Of course, they needed someone to run the newspaper. Then Andy Johnston, who had been teaching at Grady for a month, appeared, “I believe in the project. We’ve heard about other newspapers closing, especially in rural counties,” Johnston said, “When that happens, it means their only source of news and the only thing that holds people together is closing.
Johnston teamed up with Amanda Bright, who taught the course. Bright, a community reporter, helped create new digital platforms for The Echo, including an email newsletter and a website.
The Echo also ran on a team of 12 volunteers that worked at the main office. The reason The Echo was able to continue is that everyone worked together—the students, Grady College, NeSmith, Maxwell, and the residents of Oglethorpe County.
28．For what purpose did Maxwell call NeSmith
A．To prevent his being forgotten. B．To keep him up to date on his health.
C．To ask him to come and pay him a visit. D．To tell him about a decision he had made.
29．What may students at Grady College get from The Echo
A．Skills for running newspapers B．Work experience as a reporter.
C．Donations to continue their education. D．Chances to study famous newspapers.
30．Why does Johnston place importance on The Echo
A．It has a long history. B．It offers fun to natives.
C．It unites the local people. D．It is owned by his family.
31．What is the best title for the text
A．Newspapers are dying B．A county saves a newspaper
C．Friends help out a man in need D．A project breathes new life into a county
D
People suffering from depression or anxiety may make themselves healthy again by doing nice things for others, new research shows.
The study divided 122 people from central Ohio who had depression, anxiety or stress into three groups. The first two groups were asked to follow methods often used in cognitive behavioral therapy（认知行为疗法）（CBT） for depression: planning social activities or cognitive reappraisal（重新评价）.
The social activities group was instructed to plan social activities for two days a week. Another group was instructed to write a diary for at least two days each week that helped them recognize their negative ways of viewing stressful situations and change their views in a way that could reduce depression and anxiety. Members of the third group were instructed to perform three acts of kindness — big or small acts that benefit others or make others happy—a day, for two days out of the week.
Research volunteers followed their instructions for five weeks, after which their mental states were recorded. The researchers then checked with the volunteers after another five weeks to see if the methods were still effective. The findings, published in the Journal of Positive Psychology, showed that people in all three groups showed an increase in life satisfaction and a reduction of depression and anxiety levels after the study.
“Compared with social activities and cognitive reappraisal, act s of kindness make people feel more connected to other people,” said David Cregg, who led the study at the Ohio State University, “Social connection is one of the parts of life most strongly linked with well-being or happiness. Performing acts of kindness seems to be one of the best ways to create those connections.”
The research also showed why performing acts of kindness worked so well: It helped people take their minds off what causes their own depression or anxiety. This finding suggests that one view many people have about people with depression may be wrong.
“We often think that people with depression have enough to deal with, so we don’t want to burden them by asking them to help others. But these results run counter to that,” Cregg said.
32．What did the cognitive reappraisal group do in the study
A．They took medicine for depression or anxiety each day
B．They recorded how they reacted to stressful situations,
C．They planned how to take part in various social activities
D．They performed some acts of kindness for other people
33．What did the researchers find after ten weeks
A．The CBT produced unexpected effects.
B．Volunteers loved social activities most.
C．Their methods worked effectively on all volunteers.
D．Kind acts and social activities had the same effects.
34．What is an advantage of performing acts of kindness
A．It suits people at all levels of depression.
B．It is a simpler approach for most patients.
C．It may cause fewer side effects.
D．It may make people feel happy.
35．What does the underlined part “run counter to” in the last paragraph mean
A．Provide a base for. B．Are the opposite of.
C．Have a similarity to. D．Are closely connected to.

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。
Keeping warm when you are out and about in cold weather is simple--trap in warmth by wearing layers like coats, gloves and hats.
But what about in the animal world where hats are hard to come by Well, scientists have discovered that scalloped hammerhead sharks（路氏双髻鲨） use a very clever method. They hold their breath! Why might that help 36
In the deepest parts of the ocean, the water temperature drops sharply, which can be dangerous for cold-blooded animals like sharks. 37 Their muscles can also stop working, meaning they are no longer able to keep swimming, which can cause death.
But researchers studying scalloped hammerhead sharks have seen them travelling down to waters over 20 degrees colder than they are used to closer to the surface. 38 The team managed to fix specially designed sensors（传感器） to three of the sea animals off the coast of Hawaii.
The sensors recorded the sharks’ location , the speed of their tail’s movement, and their body orientation--whether the shark was diving down or swimming up to the surface. 39 They noticed that the hammerheads managed to keep their body temperature the same even when diving into extremely cold depths of the ocean.
The sharks did this by closing their mouth and gills（鳃） when swimming at these depths. 40
The scientists came to believe that the sharks closed their mouths and gills in order to trap in warmth and not allow their body temperature to go away into the colder water around them. The study makes the scalloped hammerhead shark the first deep-diving fish known to hold its breath.
A．How did they track scalloped hammerheads movements
B．How could they go down into these deep depths and survive
C．It’s all to do with their gills, where a lot of their body heat goes away.
D．For these sharks, the drop in temperature is a matter of life and death.
E．The team also watched the water temperature and the sharks’ body temperatures.
F．If their bodies drop in temperature too much, their eyesight and brain can be damaged.
G．They searched for dinner for about 5 minutes and then swam back up to the warmer waters again.

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。
It was around 7: 00 on Monday morning. Paul, a ticket gateline assistant, was working his usual shift at Leagrave Station. “Another wonderful day!” he thought and began to hum（哼） a tune. Suddenly a flash of movement around Platform One caught his attention. After taking a closer look, he realized it was a dog without a collar, silly and excitable, running round after nothing at all.
“Oh! ” he hurried down, appeared in a flash and successfully got hold of the dog, but it managed to struggle free out of his grasp, jumped down on the tracks and got stuck.
Panic struck among standers-by as the dog madly raced up and down the tracks, trying to find a way out. There was a lot of noise of people shouting and dog barking. Then the train kicked in.
Obviously, there was no time left to wait for the dog to jump out on his own, but he was not allowed to go down on the track. So he took out his phone and rang the signalman to warn the trains, getting them to slow down, ready to stop if necessary.
Like a cat on hot bricks, he looked around to find something useful. Luckily a guy on the platform there had some bread. So without any hesitation, Paul took the bread and used it to attract the dog as the last hope. Immediately, the dog came over to the platform edge with wagging（摇） tails. But it couldn’t jump back up. That’s not the thing, Paul thought.
Just as it put its paws up to get the bread, Paul managed to grab it. Thank goodness. Paul dragged it up on to the platform. He couldn’t let go of it for fear that it would struggle free a second time. He just held on, stroking its fur and patting on its head to calm it down. Finally he took the dog into the safety of the staffroom.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；

A design competition about environmental protection is to be held in the school hall next Sunday.
To help students and teachers realize that protecting the environment is not a popular idea but practical actions, we will hold this contest with the aim of encouraging people to recycle waste. You’ re required to design the works which can be used in our daily life using waste within one hour. You can do it by yourself as well as together with your partners. At last, we will choose three best— received ones and present prizes to their designers. I believe you’ll have a deeper understanding of protecting the environment after this interesting and meaningful competition.
Come and join us!
67．读后续写 One possible version:
Then Paul decided to turn to social media to identify its owner. Within two hours, a worried couple arrived at Leagrave Station and explained the dog had done a runner. A garage door had been left open and the dog had escaped. They had thought there was little chance of getting it back. It felt like a miracle that the dog was rescued from a horrific death when the train kicked in. When they left, the dog turned and gave a wink goodbye, seemingly saying that Paul was to be thanked. The moving moment was filmed by the couple.
The couple shared the photos and the story on the TikTok that evening. The courageous story soon went viral on the Internet. Giving a lot of likes, thousands of animal lovers worldwide praised Paul as a hero for his brave efforts and quick thinking. The railway tracks are a dangerous place and Paul saved this dog’s life with the help of a piece of bread. Paul became a minor celebrity. But facing wave after wave of praise, Paul remained humble and went on with his daily routine as usual.

W: This summer I joined a two-week summer camp in China. The camp was for language learning. The other campers and I learned Chinese through activities like storytelling and role-playing. In the first week, to use the vocabulary we’d learned in real-world situations, we were encouraged to buy vegetables at the market and book entry tickets to the museum. During the second week, the activities were richer. We attended classes in traditional Chinese art in the first three days, such as fan painting, paper cutting and Chinese calligraphy. It was so cool to drive out the summer heat with a fan painted by myself. Then the following day we went to eat traditional food there. We also spent two days visiting some places of interest, learning about the local history of the area. In the last day of our camp, we had a sharing session, during which we were asked to describe the part we like best of our camp. It was a hard choice. For me, every activity was fun — Chinese culture, the food and people all impressed me deeply. I hope to come again in the future
