Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project.
I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family.
Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where What Nigeria I had no idea. But I was about to find out.
After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, food, and hearts as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me.
Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.

B．His dream at university was to become a volunteer.
C．He took pride in having contributed to the world.
D．His university education focused on theoretical knowledge.

Hadeda ibises, known as “African alarm clocks” for their loud calls, have long legs and thin beaks (鸟喙) and shiny feathers on their wings. Historically restricted to northeastern South Africa, hadedas have significantly expanded their range to many urban areas.
Various ibises use remote-touch to detect movements of prey (猎物) in the soil and locate their hidden place. This ability is facilitated by a sensory organ in their beaks, called the bill-tip organ, which developed during the time of the dinosaurs. My recent research confirmed that hadedas have this“sixth sense” and found it is closely tied to soil moisture (湿度) levels.
We conducted sensory tests with hadedas in bird cages. We presented them with boxes of soil containing buried worms (虫), masking any sounds with white noise and mixing dead worms into the soil to remove scent cues (气味线索). The birds consistently found live worms faster than dead ones, indicating they are able to sense movements of prey and use remote-touch to find them.
Further testing revealed that hadedas found worms more quickly in wetter soils. If the soil was too dry, they lost this ability and had to rely on random searching. These findings suggest that the hadedas’ expansion in South Africa is related to increased artificial watering systems. They require wet soil to use remote-touch effectively, which could explain their absence in dry regions. Droughts and heatwaves, expected to worsen with climate change, could threaten their population by making prey detection more challenging.
The study highlights the broader implications for other remote-touch hunting birds, many of which are already endangered. As soil moisture levels decrease, these birds could become more at risk, stressing the importance of considering sensory requirements in conservation efforts.
28. What do we know about hadeda ibises
A. They are known for shiny feathers.
B. They barely see any rise in numbers.
C. They recall images of the dinosaurs.
D. They have a specialized sensory organ.
29. Why were white noise and dead worms used in the experiment
A. To get a more reliable result. B. To add experimental items.
C. To copy natural habitats. D. To avoid disturbing the subjects.
30. What does the research suggest about the impact of climate change on hadedas
A. Climate change will decrease their reliance on soil moisture.
B. Droughts could make it more difficult for them to find prey.
C. Increased rainfall will help them relocate to urbanized areas.
D. Rising temperatures could increase their feeding efficiency.
31. What does the text mainly talk about
A. The specialty of hadedas’ organs. B. The masters of dry land hunting.
C. Hadedas’ prey detection in wet soil. D. Hadedas ibises’ urban expansion.
D
A new study, led by Dr Steven Stagg of Anglia Ruskin University (ARU), found the benefits of letter-spacing and coloured overlays (涂层) among a group of dyslexic (诵读困难的) and non-dyslexic children. It discovered that text with increased space between letters provided a benefit for both groups of children. On average, the dyslexia group showed a 13% increase in reading speed, while the comparison group of non-dyslexic children showed a 5% increase in reading speed.
The study involved 59 children aged between 11 and 15,32 of whom had dyslexia, with 27 non-dyslexic children forming a control group. The participants were from six UK schools in Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire and London.
Participants read four texts with either standard or extra-large letter-spacing, both with and without a coloured overlay. The children were instructed to read these texts out loud while being recorded. The recordings were used to measure the number of errors they made—specifically missed words, added words, wrong words, and pronunciation—as well as the participants’ reading time.
In addition to improving reading speed of children with and without dyslexia, the larger letter-spacing also resulted in a significant reduction in the number of words being missed by the children with dyslexia. Dr Stagg said,“We believe that extra-large letter-spacing reduces what is known as the‘crowding effect’, which can prevent the recognition of letters and reduce reading speed.”
When viewed in the context of previous research, the findings strongly suggest that teaching professionals should be confident that all children will be helped by increased letter-spacing in reading materials. It’s a relatively simple change for teachers to make when they produce handouts and exercises, and children with dyslexia won’t feel singled out by the introduction of specially adapted reading materials, as this change is something that everyone can benefit from.
The study showed colored overlays didn’t affect reading speed or error reduction in children. Despite this, Dr. Stagg recommends using them, as they might improve reading stamina (耐力).
32. What does the new study focus on according to Paragraph 1
A. The features of dyslexia.
B. The gap in children’s reading ability.
C. Ways of examining children’s comprehension.
D. Certain factors helping improve children’s reading ability.
33. What did the researchers do during the study
A. They asked children to document the reading material.
B. They taught children some reading skills.
C. They studied the recordings of children’s reading.
D. They observed children’s performances in class.
34. How are children with dyslexic affected by the“crowding effect”
A. They may read materials faster than usual.
B. They may make more mistakes when reading.
C. They are forced to reflect on themselves more.
D. They are willing to spend more time reading.
35. What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 5
A. The significance of previous dyslexia children research.
B. The necessity of paying attention to children with dyslexia.
C. The suggestions and expectations from teaching professionals.
D. The practicability and benefits of specially adapted reading materials.

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。
When Judy was younger, she thought that her grandmother was the best cook in the entire world. Every time she visited her grandmother with her family she would be treated to lots of delicious food — buttery shortbread cookies and plates of crispy cheese crackers to snack on; piles of pancakes for breakfast; golden fried chickens and thick, hearty soups for dinner. No one would ever leave hungry or sad when they visited grandmother’s house.
But, as Judy grew older, she started to notice that her grandmother had begun to cook less and less.The complicated meals grew simpler, and the visits to her grandmother’s beautiful life-filled home grew fewer. Eventually, Samantha’s parents told her the truth: her grandmother had arthritis (关节炎) in her hands, which meant it was too painful for her to cook the elegant dishes.
“Why don’t we visit grandmother and just get food from a restaurant ” she asked. It seemed to her too cruel just to visit when her grandmother could cook for them and to pay no visit when her grandmother was sick.
Her parents smiled, appreciating their daughter’s kind heart, and told her they had suggested this but the idea had been rejected, “Your grandmother loves cooking. It saddens her to be reminded that she can’t share her food any more because of her illness.” Judy told her parents she understood, but she silently determined to find a way to help.
A few weeks later, Judy stopped by her grandmother’s house to deliver some groceries. As she carefully put away the boxes and cans in the kitchen cabinets, Judy discovered something she had never seen before. Sitting on one of the highest shelves was a small wooden box. Her curiosity aroused, Judy took the box down from the shelf and opened the lid.
Inside were hundreds of index cards and on each one was a hand-written recipe (食谱)! Her hands shaking with excitement, Judy flipped through the cards. She recognized all of her grandmother’s classic recipes — the cookies, the pancakes, the soups. They were all here!
注意：(1) 续写词数应为150个左右；(2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Judy knew now what she would do to cheer her grandmother up.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Judy smiled at her grandmother, who was looking at the scene in surprise.

第二节（满分25分）
【答案】One possible version:
Judy knew now what she would do to cheer her grandmother up. She searched through the box of cards until she found her grandmother’s recipe for pancakes — everyone’s favorite. Then, moving quietly so that she wouldn’t disturb her grandmother in the next room, she began to gather the ingredients and cook her first pancake. As the wonderful smell of fresh pancakes began to fill the kitchen, Judy smiled. She couldn’t cook any of the more complicated dishes, but pancakes were always a wonderful treat. There came a soft sound from the door to the kitchen. It was her grandmother.
Judy smiled at her grandmother, who was looking at the scene in surprise. “Cooking food for someone is a way to say I love you,” Judy chuckled but was shocked to see tears glistening in the corners of her grandmother’s eyes. Her grandmother hurried to reassure her these were tears of joy. As they sat down to enjoy their plates of pancakes together, her grandmother offered to teach Judy how to cook the rest of the elegant dishes in the recipe box. Cooking together is, after all, just as much of an expression of love as cooking for someone.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Judy小时候觉得祖母是最好的厨师，随着她长大祖母因关节炎做饭减少，Judy得知真相后决定帮忙。一次去祖母家，她发现装满食谱的木盒，便按食谱做煎饼，香味引来祖母，祖母很感动，还提出教她做其它菜肴，一起向他人表达爱。
【详解】1. 段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“Judy现在知道该怎么做才能让祖母高兴起来了”可知，第一段可描写Judy找到了一道菜的食谱，跟着食谱做菜，享受烹饪的愉快，然后祖母出现，发现了Judy在做菜。
②由第二段首句内容“Judy微笑着看着祖母，她的祖母正惊讶地看着这一幕”可知，第二段可描写Judy向祖母解释自己在做什么，祖母深受感动，然后两人一起享用这道菜，祖母还提出要教Judy做更多的菜肴。
2. 续写线索：Judy想到让祖母高兴的方法——Judy跟着食谱做菜——Judy享受做菜的快乐——祖母惊讶地出现——Judy解释，祖母感动——两人享用菜肴，祖母要教Judy做菜
3. 词汇激活
行为类
①找到：find/discover
②收集：gather/collect
③轻声笑：chuckle/giggle
④闪烁：glisten/glitter
情绪类
①震惊的：shocked/astonished/stunned

【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了几种独特的夏令营活动，旨在让孩子们度过神奇的夏天。
21.细节理解题。根据“Wonder Wizards”部分的时间描述“June 6 - 10, June 13 - 17, June 20 - 24”，可知参加“Wonder Wizards”夏令营的时间可以选6月。故选A。
22.细节理解题。根据“Whirly Waters” 中“Cost: $125 per person for non – members (费用：非会员每人125美元)”，即非会员每人125美元，那么两个非会员需要支付$125×2 =$250。故选B。
23.细节理解题。根据“Camp Make - It”中的“Campers ages 9 - 11 will use science, technology, engineering, art and math to discover their inner inventors. (9 - 11岁的孩子们将使用科学、技术、工程、艺术和数学来发现他们内心的发明家。)”可知9 - 11岁的露营者将运用科学、技术、工程、艺术和数学来发现自己内在的发明家潜质，也就是基于综合知识进行创造。故选A。
B
【参考答案】24. D 25. B 26. A 27. C
【语篇解读】
本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者大学毕业后，虽然对未来充满希望但却不知如何实现自己的价值，后来了解到灯塔计划并成为其中的一名志愿者。经过一系列复杂的申请流程后，作者被派往尼日利亚阿布贾附近的一个小村庄，在那里作者带领当地人建造新校舍并在那所学校教书，这段经历让作者发生了改变，灯塔计划永远地改变了作者的生活。
【详情解析】
24.推理判断题。（下同）根据第一段中的 “My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical.” 可知，作者的英国文学荣誉学位并没有让他为任何实际的事情做好准备。这意味着作者在大学接受的教育更侧重于理论知识，而缺乏实践方面的培养。A 选项 “他为学习英国文学感到荣幸”，文中未体现这种情感；B 选项 “他在大学的梦想是成为一名志愿者”，原文说他当时不知道自己想做什么，所以该选项错误；C 选项 “他为自己对世界做出了贡献而感到自豪”，在这一段还未体现他做了贡献，故该选项也不正确。所以 D 选项 “他的大学教育侧重于理论知识” 符合文意，选 D。
25.由第三段 “Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone.” 可知，作者要先赢得家人的支持，然后提交所有申请所需的文件，接着要经过无数次的面试和展示，才在众多候选人中脱颖而出并独自通过测试。从这些描述可以看出，作者的申请过程是比较复杂的。A 选项 “尴尬的”，文中未提及申请过程的尴尬；C 选项 “有趣的”，文中没有体现申请过程有趣；D 选项 “轻松的”，与文中描述的复杂过程不符。所以 B 选项 “复杂的” 正确，选 B。
26.根据第四段 “For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse.” 可知，在接下来大约一年的时间里，作者在那所新建的校舍里教书。B 选项 “帮助村民建造医院”，文中说的是建造新校舍，不是医院；C 选项 “为他的学生筹集资金”，文中未提及；D 选项 “邀请当地人加入他的项目”，原文没有相关内容。所以 A 选项 “担任教师工作” 符合文意，选 A。
27.文章主要围绕作者参加灯塔计划成为志愿者，前往尼日利亚的小村庄，在那里经历了很多事情，最后这段经历改变了作者的生活展开叙述。A 选项 “灯塔计划 —— 非洲教育的希望”，文章重点不是在说非洲教育的希望，而是作者自身的经历，所以 A 选项不合适；B 选项 “在阿布贾难忘且有意义的生活”，范围较窄，没有突出灯塔计划以及对作者生活的改变，故 B 选项不准确；D 选项 “灯塔计划 —— 一个为应届毕业生设立的志愿者组织”，只是在介绍灯塔计划的性质，没有体现出对作者的影响，所以 D 选项也不正确。C 选项 “一次改变人生的志愿经历”，既提到了志愿经历，又突出了对作者生活的改变，符合文章主旨，选 C。
C
【参考答案】28. D 29. A 30. B 31. C
【语篇解读】
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种被称为 “非洲闹钟” 的红脸地犀鸟（Hadeda ibises）。这种鸟原本生活在南非东北部，现在其活动范围已显著扩展到许多城市地区。研究发现，红脸地犀鸟有一种特殊的感官器官 —— 喙尖器官，能够通过 “远程触摸” 感知土壤中猎物的移动，且这种能力与土壤湿度密切相关。研究还表明，气候变化导致的干旱和热浪可能会使它们更难探测到猎物，这对它们的种群构成威胁，同时也强调了在保护工作中考虑鸟类感官需求的重要性。
【详情解析】
28.根据第二段 “Various ibises use remote-touch to detect movements of prey (猎物) in the soil and locate their hidden place. This ability is facilitated by a sensory organ in their beaks, called the bill-tip organ, which developed during the time of the dinosaurs. My recent research confirmed that hadedas have this ‘sixth sense’ and found it is closely tied to soil moisture (湿度) levels.” 可知，各种鹭科鸟类都有一种特殊的感官器官 —— 喙尖器官，能够通过 “远程触摸” 感知猎物的移动，而红脸地犀鸟也有这种 “第六感”。A 选项 “它们以闪亮的羽毛而闻名”，文中说它们有闪亮的羽毛，但闻名的是它们的叫声，不是羽毛，所以 A 选项错误；B 选项 “它们的数量几乎没有增加”，文中说它们的活动范围显著扩大，不能得出数量几乎没增加的结论，B 选项不正确；C 选项 “它们让人联想到恐龙的形象”，文中说喙尖器官在恐龙时代就已形成，并非是它们让人联想到恐龙形象，C 选项错误。所以 D 选项 “它们有一种特殊的感官器官” 符合文意，选 D。
29.根据第三段 “We presented them with boxes of soil containing buried worms (虫), masking any sounds with white noise and mixing dead worms into the soil to remove scent cues (气味线索). The birds consistently found live worms faster than dead ones, indicating they are able to sense movements of prey and use remote-touch to find them.” 可知，在实验中使用白噪音掩盖声音，将死虫子混入土壤中去除气味线索，是为了排除其他因素的干扰，从而更准确地验证红脸地犀鸟是否能够通过 “远程触摸” 感知猎物的移动。B 选项 “增加实验项目”，使用白噪音和死虫子不是为了增加项目，而是为了控制变量，B 选项错误；C 选项 “复制自然栖息地”，实验重点不是复制栖息地，C 选项不符合；D 选项 “避免打扰实验对象”，主要目的不是避免打扰，而是为了得到可靠结果，D 选项不正确。所以 A 选项 “为了得到更可靠的结果” 正确，选 A。
30.根据第四段 “Droughts and heatwaves, expected to worsen with climate change, could threaten their population by making prey detection more challenging.” 可知，随着气候变化，干旱和热浪预计会加剧，这会使红脸地犀鸟探测猎物变得更具挑战性，也就是说干旱可能会让它们更难找到猎物。A 选项 “气候变化将减少它们对土壤湿度的依赖”，与原文中它们需要湿润土壤才能有效使用 “远程触摸” 能力不符，A 选项错误；C 选项 “增加的降雨量将帮助它们重新迁移到城市化地区”，文中未提及增加降雨量与它们迁移到城市化地区的关系，C 选项不正确；D 选项 “气温上升可能会提高它们的觅食效率”，与原文中干旱和热浪会使觅食更困难相悖，D 选项错误。所以 B 选项 “干旱可能会使它们更难找到猎物” 符合文意，选 B。
31.文章开篇介绍了红脸地犀鸟的基本情况，接着重点阐述了关于它们通过 “远程触摸” 感知猎物以及这种能力与土壤湿度关系的研究，指出它们在湿润土壤中能更有效地探测猎物，干旱会对它们的觅食造成困难。A 选项 “红脸地犀鸟器官的特殊性”，只是文章的一部分内容，没有突出它们在湿润土壤中探测猎物这一重点，A 选项不准确；B 选项 “旱地狩猎的大师”，文章强调的是它们在湿润土壤中的情况，不是旱地，B 选项错误；D 选项 “红脸地犀鸟的城市扩张”，城市扩张只是其背景信息，不是文章主要内容，D 选项不合适。所以 C 选项 “红脸地犀鸟在湿润土壤中对猎物的探测” 符合文章主旨，选 C。
D
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一项关于调整字母间距和彩色涂层对阅读障碍儿童及普通儿童阅读能力影响的研究。
32.细节理解题。根据第一段“A new study, led by Dr Steven Stagg of Anglia Ruskin University (ARU), found the benefits of letter-spacing and coloured overlays (涂层) among a group of dyslexic (诵读困难的) and non-dyslexic children. It discovered that text with increased space between letters provided a benefit for both groups of children.(Anglia Ruskin University的Steven Stagg博士领导的一项新研究发现，在一组有阅读困难和非阅读困难的儿童中，字母间距和彩色重叠有好处。研究发现，字母间距增大的文本对两组儿童都有好处。)”可知，这项新研究的重点是帮助提高儿童阅读能力的一些因素。故选D。
33.细节理解题。根据第三段“The recordings were used to measure the number of errors they made—specifically missed words, added words, wrong words, and pronunciation—as well as the participants’ reading time.(这些录音被用来测量他们犯的错误的数量——特别是遗漏的单词、增加的单词、错误的单词和发音——以及参与者的阅读时间。)”可知，研究人员在研究过程中研究了儿童阅读的录音。故选C。
34.推理判断题。根据第四段“We believe that extra-large letter-spacing reduces what is known as the ‘crowding effect’, which can prevent the recognition of letters and reduce reading speed.(我们认为，过大的字母间距减少了所谓的“拥挤效应”，这可能会阻碍字母的识别并降低阅读速度。)”可推断拥挤效应会导致更多阅读错误。故选B。
35.主旨大意题。根据第五段“When viewed in the context of previous research, the findings strongly suggest that teaching professionals should be confident that all children will be helped by increased letter-spacing in reading materials. It’s a relatively simple change for teachers to make when they produce handout s and exercises, and children with dyslexia won’t feel singled out by the introduction of specially adapted reading materials, as this change is something that everyone can benefit from.(在之前的研究背景下，研究结果强烈表明，教学专业人员应该相信，阅读材料中增加字母间距对所有孩子都有帮助。对于老师来说，这是一个相对简单的改变，当他们制作讲义和练习时，有阅读障碍的孩子不会因为引入特别改编的阅读材料而感到被孤立，因为这种改变是每个人都能从中受益的。)”可知，第五段主要讲的是专门改编的阅读材料的可行性与益处。故选D。
