While Schenker’s home weathered Hurricane Helene in September, her friend’s home in Asheville was destroyed by the flooding of the Swannanoa River. Schenker and her friend walked — the roads were blocked — to check the condition of the home.
“We spent about four hours digging through the mud to look for any belongings of hers, because her house literally just didn’t exist anymore,” Schenker recalled.
During that process, Schenker found about five individual photographs that didn’t belong to her friend or anyone her friend knew. These photos kept Schenker up at night. She went back the next day and found more photos from multiple families. “There were photos of a middle school basketball team or a beloved dog. I also found a wedding photo of a bride hugging somebody,” Schenker said. “You take photos because you have a moment you want to remember, and they did all seem special. ”
Schenker started the Photos from Helene page online as a virtual Lost and Found, hoping that through the page and word of mouth, the photos could be reunited with their owners.
Some of them were hand-delivered like the ones that were lost by Mary Moss who lost her home and car to the flood waters. “At first, when she handed me those pictures, I just couldn’t even speak,” Moss said. “You don’t expect something as easily damaged as photos to be returned in such a disaster. ”
“While homes and cars can be replaced, I lost everything I had of my son Tommy who died when he was 12. In the photos Schenker found almost three miles from my home were photos of Tommy when he was two years old dressing up for a Christmas. In another he was playing with his brother. It’s the little things, the photos, which are linked with sweet memories that you can’t replace,” Moss said.
4. Why did Schenker go to her friend’s home
A. To shelter herself from a hurricane, B. To check the condition of a river.
C. To connect with her family members, D. To help her friend in a disaster.
5. How did Schenker try to find the owners of the photos
A. By making use of the Internet. B. By visiting multiple families in person.
C. By turning to a local school for help. D. By contacting Lost and Found officers.
6. How did Moss feel at the first sight of her lost photos
A. Calm. B. Astonished. C. Sorrowful. D. Frightened.
7. What do Moss’s words in the last paragraph mainly suggest
A. The returned photos are precious for her. B. She has restored her faith in future life.
C. Her memories of her son are decreasing. D. Her personal belongings can’t be replaced.
C
Facing high employee turnover and an aging population, nursing homes have increasingly turned to robots to complete a variety of care tasks, but few researchers have explored how these technologies impact workers and the quality of care. A new study from a University of Notre Dame expert on the future of work finds that robot use is associated with increased employee retention (保留) and a higher quality of care.
Researchers drew on surveys of Japanese nursing homes taken in 2020 and 2022. “Our research focused on Japan because it is a super-aging society that provides a good example of what the future would be like elsewhere a declining population, a growing share of senior citizens and a declining share of working-age people,” said Yong Suk Lee, one of the researchers. “We need to be ready for this new reality.”
“We’ve found that robot adoption reduces quit rates by assisting care workers,” Lee said. “This is important because turnover is a big concern in nursing homes. Workers typically experience a great deal of physical pain, particularly in their knees and back. The work is hard and the pay is low. So robot use was associated with employee retention.”
Patients also benefited in facilities that used robots, according to the study. The nursing homes that Lee’s team studied reported a decrease in the use of patient restraints (束缚) and in the bedsores that nursing home residents commonly suffer, largely because of a lack of mobility.
“By removing the physical pressure associated with certain tasks, robots may have made room for care workers to focus on tasks better suited for human beings, such as those involving human touch,” Lee said. “Ultimately, robots can help workers provide a higher level of patient care.”
This research provides critical insights into how societies can successfully address the challenges of caring for aging populations. It will help inform the work of the long-term care industry and help us better understand how technologies impact workers and patients.
8. What made the researchers focus on Japan
A. Its harmonious society. B. Its stable employment.
C. Its varied types of robots. D. Its large aging population.
9. Which of the following shows Lee’s opinion
A. Care workers’ salaries will increase significantly.
B. Robots can cooperate very well with care workers.
C. The use of patient restraints should be multiplied.
D. Robot use isn’t associated with employee retention.
10. What does the author say about the new research
A. It is valuable. B. It needs improving.
C It isn’t a pioneering study. D. It challenges the care industry.
11. In which section of a newspaper is this text most likely to be found
A. Culture. B. Sports. C. Politics. D. Technology.
D
Like a literal breath of fresh air, so-called “micro-forests” represent a green practice, boosting the quality of life in many of the world’s polluted and overcrowded urban centers.
These small areas of densely (稠密地) planted woodland trees also known as mini-forests or pocket forests, allow communities to manage the effects of climate change in a small way, but offer enormous benefits to the environment and local people, as they restore soil, air and water quality. These mini-forests are proving a magnet for various animal and plant species, which offer human beings the chance to learn more about nature. Magically becoming self-sustaining over time, they are a way to make reimagined urban life a reality.
Significantly, mini-forests, as one of their nonprofit facilitators SUGi outlines, serve to build social bonds in communities as well, as they come together to enjoy and sustain new natural settings. They can also regenerate and beautify neglected (被忽视的) plots in cities such as former basketball courts, and disused parking lots and playgrounds, for instance.
According to the UN’s State of the World’s Forests Report from 2020, over 440 million hectares (公顷) of forest have been lost to other uses since 1990. Now, more than half of the global population lives in urban areas, but the access to green spaces is limited. The good news is that micro-forests in cities can offer an important chance to fight against deforestation and enlarge green spaces.
Euro News details some of the many exciting micro-forests that have taken root globally. Nonprofit Earthwatch Europe, for instance, has planted 285 of them since 2022. Their plots are made up of 600 trees. A tree-planting program aiming to restore biodiversity and reintroduce native species, SUGi, has created 230 pocket forests in 52 cities around the world, from Toulouse in France, to Madrid in Spain, and Saint George in Romania.
12. What does the underlined word “magnet” in paragraph 2 most probably mean
A. Something artificial. B. Something simplified.
C. Something innovative. D. Something appealing.
13. How do micro-forests benefit a city according to the text
A. They reduce traffic jams. B. They improve urban land use.
C. They popularize sports activities. D. They ensure citizens’ privacy.
14. What is the data in paragraph 4 intended to stress
A. The fast pace of urbanization. B. The need to control populations.
C. The importance of micro-forests, D. The harm caused by deforestation.
15. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. Plans to further promote micro-forests. B. Benefits of sustaining micro-forests.
C. Examples of creating micro-forests in cities. D. Policies about micro-forest preservation.

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。
Whether it’s fitting in enough seating or figuring out a way to decorate the walls, balancing functionality and design in a small living room can be a challenge. So, how do you transform a small space into a comfortable and inviting one ___16___.
●Consider installing (安装) built-ins. Custom built-ins can change how you use space in a smaller living room. “___17___,” says Rachel Humphreys of Humphrey Orr Interiors. “The top of the built-in should align with (与……对齐) the function leads the eye upward and make the room feel grander.”
●___18___. While you might want a sofa,side table, coffee table and two accent chairs, you may need to give up some of your choices if you don’t havea large space. “A smaller room might only need a large sofa or sectional, a coffee table and a chair,” says Humphreys.
●Add a mirror or use special paint. “___19___,” shares Humphreys. “Adding a large decorative mirror to a wall can make the room feel larger.” If you’re not into decorating with mirrors, the designer suggests using highly reflective paint instead. This can have a similar effect, bouncing the light acros the room and making the space feel more expansive.
●Hang the curtains extra high. According to Humphreys, one of the best tricks is to install curtains much higher than the top of the window to draw the eye upward. A golden rule is to hang the rods (长杆) about two-tirds up from the distance between the top of the window to the ceiling. ___20___. Be sure to measure more than once, so you don’t accidentally order the wrong size.
A. Buy less furniture
B. Put your furniture in order

47. 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。
65-year-old Mr. Jenkins had lived a simple life in a town for a year. He liked almost everything there, especially a grocery store where there were many sugar jars (罐子) beside the counter.
Every Thursday, Mr. Jenkins would shop at the store. Coffee was always on his shopping list as he liked it very much. Each time, Mrs. Rao, the kind and enthusiastic owner, would greet him warmly from the counter and chat with him for a while.
What Mrs. Rao talked about most was her son Dave, a college student. Dave often checked on his mother through the store’s security camera, which allowed him to see what happened almost everywhere of the store, especially the counter. A month ago, when Mr. Jenkins came as usual, Mrs. Rao shared the good news that her son would soon go home for a winter break.
When Dave returned on Monday, his mother caught a bad cold. “Take a good rest. I will mind the store,” Dave said to his mother. Although Dave hadn’t done that before, Mrs. Rao agreed.
Actually, everything went well when Dave was in charge. On the afternoon of the fourth day, Dave met Mr. Jenkins. After a few exchanges with Dave, Mr. Jenkins began to look for desired groceries. After he got the last item — a bag of coffee, he headed to the counter, ready to make the payment.
“30 dollars, please!” Dave said as he packed Mr. Jenkins’s groceries into a shopping bag.
Mr. Jenkins took out his wallet and counted the bills carefully. “30 dollars, exactly,” Mr. Jenkins said.
“Mr. Jenkins. . . I’m afraid we’re short one dollar,” Dave smiled after counting the bills twice.
A little confused as he was, Mr. Jenkins apologized immediately and took out one extra dollar. Dave waved goodbye to Mr. Jenkins as he took the shopping bag and walked outside the store.
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。
However, Dave found a one-dollar bill behind the sugar jars that evening.

I also found a wedding photo of a bride hugging somebody,” Schenker said. “You take photos because you have a moment you want to remember, and they did all seem special. ”
Schenker started the Photos from Helene page online as a virtual Lost and Found, hoping that through the page and word of mouth, the photos could be reunited with their owners.
Some of them were hand-delivered like the ones that were lost by Mary Moss who lost her home and car to the flood waters. “At first, when she handed me those pictures, I just couldn’t even speak,” Moss said. “You don’t expect something as easily damaged as photos to be returned in such a disaster. ”
“While homes and cars can be replaced, I lost everything I had of my son Tommy who died when he was 12. In the photos Schenker found almost three miles from my home were photos of Tommy when he was two years old dressing up for a Christmas. In another he was playing with his brother. It’s the little things, the photos, which are linked with sweet memories that you can’t replace,” Moss said.
4. Why did Schenker go to her friend’s home
A. To shelter herself from a hurricane, B. To check the condition of a river.
C. To connect with her family members, D. To help her friend in a disaster.
5. How did Schenker try to find the owners of the photos
A. By making use of the Internet. B. By visiting multiple families in person.
C. By turning to a local school for help. D. By contacting Lost and Found officers.
6. How did Moss feel at the first sight of her lost photos
A. Calm. B. Astonished. C. Sorrowful. D. Frightened.
7. What do Moss’s words in the last paragraph mainly suggest
A. The returned photos are precious for her. B. She has restored her faith in future life.
C. Her memories of her son are decreasing. D. Her personal belongings can’t be replaced.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. A

Facing high employee turnover and an aging population, nursing homes have increasingly turned to robots to complete a variety of care tasks, but few researchers have explored how these technologies impact workers and the quality of care. A new study from a University of Notre Dame expert on the future of work finds that robot use is associated with increased employee retention (保留) and a higher quality of care.
Researchers drew on surveys of Japanese nursing homes taken in 2020 and 2022. “Our research focused on Japan because it is a super-aging society that provides a good example of what the future would be like elsewhere a declining population, a growing share of senior citizens and a declining share of working-age people,” said Yong Suk Lee, one of the researchers. “We need to be ready for this new reality.”
“We’ve found that robot adoption reduces quit rates by assisting care workers,” Lee said. “This is important because turnover is a big concern in nursing homes. Workers typically experience a great deal of physical pain, particularly in their knees and back. The work is hard and the pay is low. So robot use was associated with employee retention.”
Patients also benefited in facilities that used robots, according to the study. The nursing homes that Lee’s team studied reported a decrease in the use of patient restraints (束缚) and in the bedsores that nursing home residents commonly suffer, largely because of a lack of mobility.
“By removing the physical pressure associated with certain tasks, robots may have made room for care workers to focus on tasks better suited for human beings, such as those involving human touch,” Lee said. “Ultimately, robots can help workers provide a higher level of patient care.”
This research provides critical insights into how societies can successfully address the challenges of caring for aging populations. It will help inform the work of the long-term care industry and help us better understand how technologies impact workers and patients.
8. What made the researchers focus on Japan
A. Its harmonious society. B. Its stable employment.
C. Its varied types of robots. D. Its large aging population.
9. Which of the following shows Lee’s opinion
A. Care workers’ salaries will increase significantly.
B. Robots can cooperate very well with care workers.
C. The use of patient restraints should be multiplied.
D. Robot use isn’t associated with employee retention.
10. What does the author say about the new research
A. It is valuable. B. It needs improving.
C It isn’t a pioneering study. D. It challenges the care industry.
11. In which section of a newspaper is this text most likely to be found
A. Culture. B. Sports. C. Politics. D. Technology.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. D

Like a literal breath of fresh air, so-called “micro-forests” represent a green practice, boosting the quality of life in many of the world’s polluted and overcrowded urban centers.
These small areas of densely (稠密地) planted woodland trees also known as mini-forests or pocket forests, allow communities to manage the effects of climate change in a small way, but offer enormous benefits to the environment and local people, as they restore soil, air and water quality. These mini-forests are proving a magnet for various animal and plant species, which offer human beings the chance to learn more about nature. Magically becoming self-sustaining over time, they are a way to make reimagined urban life a reality.
Significantly, mini-forests, as one of their nonprofit facilitators SUGi outlines, serve to build social bonds in communities as well, as they come together to enjoy and sustain new natural settings. They can also regenerate and beautify neglected (被忽视的) plots in cities such as former basketball courts, and disused parking lots and playgrounds, for instance.
According to the UN’s State of the World’s Forests Report from 2020, over 440 million hectares (公顷) of forest have been lost to other uses since 1990. Now, more than half of the global population lives in urban areas, but the access to green spaces is limited. The good news is that micro-forests in cities can offer an important chance to fight against deforestation and enlarge green spaces.
Euro News details some of the many exciting micro-forests that have taken root globally. Nonprofit Earthwatch Europe, for instance, has planted 285 of them since 2022. Their plots are made up of 600 trees. A tree-planting program aiming to restore biodiversity and reintroduce native species, SUGi, has created 230 pocket forests in 52 cities around the world, from Toulouse in France, to Madrid in Spain, and Saint George in Romania.
12. What does the underlined word “magnet” in paragraph 2 most probably mean
A. Something artificial. B. Something simplified.
C. Something innovative. D. Something appealing.
13. How do micro-forests benefit a city according to the text
A. They reduce traffic jams. B. They improve urban land use.
C. They popularize sports activities. D. They ensure citizens’ privacy.
14. What is the data in paragraph 4 intended to stress
A. The fast pace of urbanization. B. The need to control populations.
C. The importance of micro-forests, D. The harm caused by deforestation.
15. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. Plans to further promote micro-forests. B. Benefits of sustaining micro-forests.
C. Examples of creating micro-forests in cities. D. Policies about micro-forest preservation.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. C

第二节（满分25分）
47. 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。
65-year-old Mr. Jenkins had lived a simple life in a town for a year. He liked almost everything there, especially a grocery store where there were many sugar jars (罐子) beside the counter.
Every Thursday, Mr. Jenkins would shop at the store. Coffee was always on his shopping list as he liked it very much. Each time, Mrs. Rao, the kind and enthusiastic owner, would greet him warmly from the counter and chat with him for a while.
What Mrs. Rao talked about most was her son Dave, a college student. Dave often checked on his mother through the store’s security camera, which allowed him to see what happened almost everywhere of the store, especially the counter. A month ago, when Mr. Jenkins came as usual, Mrs. Rao shared the good news that her son would soon go home for a winter break.
When Dave returned on Monday, his mother caught a bad cold. “Take a good rest. I will mind the store,” Dave said to his mother. Although Dave hadn’t done that before, Mrs. Rao agreed.
Actually, everything went well when Dave was in charge. On the afternoon of the fourth day, Dave met Mr. Jenkins. After a few exchanges with Dave, Mr. Jenkins began to look for desired groceries. After he got the last item — a bag of coffee, he headed to the counter, ready to make the payment.
“30 dollars, please!” Dave said as he packed Mr. Jenkins’s groceries into a shopping bag.
Mr. Jenkins took out his wallet and counted the bills carefully. “30 dollars, exactly,” Mr. Jenkins said.
“Mr. Jenkins. . . I’m afraid we’re short one dollar,” Dave smiled after counting the bills twice.
A little confused as he was, Mr. Jenkins apologized immediately and took out one extra dollar. Dave waved goodbye to Mr. Jenkins as he took the shopping bag and walked outside the store.
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。
However, Dave found a one-dollar bill behind the sugar jars that evening.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next Thursday, Dave and Mrs. Rao apologized to Mr, Jenkins.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 However, Dave found a one-dollar bill behind the sugar jars that evening. He was surprised to see it, realizing that Mr. Jenkins had indeed paid the full amount for his groceries. Feeling guilty, Dave knew he had to make things right. He decided to save the dollar and return it to Mr. Jenkins the following Thursday. As he thought about the situation, he admired Mr. Jenkins’s kindness, and it made him appreciate the elderly man even more. He looked forward to seeing him again and hoped that this small act would help mend the misunderstanding.
The next Thursday, Dave and Mrs. Rao apologized to Mr. Jenkins. “I’m so sorry for the mix-up last week,” Dave said sincerely, handing him the dollar bill. “I didn’t count correctly, and I feel terrible about it.” Mr. Jenkins smiled warmly and waved off his concerns. “It’s not a problem, young man. Mistakes happen!” he reassured. Mrs. Rao chimed in, “We appreciate your understanding, Mr. Jenkins. It means a lot to us.” The three of them shared a laugh, and Mr. Jenkins felt a sense of belonging in the small town. As he left the store, he realized that these interactions made his life richer, reminding him that kindness and community were the true treasures he cherished.
