A New York food bank was offered a large donation of fresh fish last month — but the gift came with a difficulty.
LocalCoho,a New York salmon (鲑鱼) farm that was closing, wanted to give 18,100kilograms of salmon to the Food Bank of Central New York. The high-quality meat could feed thousands of families. However, the gift fish were still alive and swimming in the farm’s large pool. The organization needed to find a way to remove about 13,000 salmon from the pool and, later, process them into food.
And the food aid group needed to do all this quickly, before the business closed forever at the end of January. Thanks to many volunteers, the group was able to empty the pool in time, place the fish in cold storage and transport them to a processer.
Brian McManus is the food bank’s chief operations officer. He said that the short amount of time to complete the operation made activities difficult. But he said, “I knew that we had the will. I knew we had the skill.”
Christina Hudson Kohler was among the volunteers who got into the water to collect the fish and put them into the cold storage containers. “It’s a little bit different,” Kohler said during a break. “In the past, my volunteer work with the food bank has been sorting carrots or peppers...”
LocalCoho was a new company that had been developing a sustainable (可持续的) salmon farming system. The system uses recycled water. The company had been supplying salmon to buyers, including restaurants, with the goal of building farms across the country. But company officials said they could not raise enough money from investors (投资者) to grow and make money. So, they decided to close the business.
The company did not want the fish to go to waste so it sought a way to donate them. The donation is expected to provide more than 26,000 hard-to-reach meals to hungry people.
24．What problem did the New York food bank meet
A．It had no ability to process food. B．It had to turn the live fish into food.
C．It lacked a source of food to hand out. D．It had not enough volunteers to help it.
25．What did the chief operations officer stress about the donation
A．Time was tight to deal with the donation.
B．He lacked experience in treating live fish.
C．There were no funds for processing live fish.
D．The donors were generous enough to donate.
26．What was Christina Hudson Kohler’s volunteer work this time
A．Transporting live fish. B．Processing live fish.
C．Sorting vegetables. D．Catching live fish.
27．Why did the new company give up their business
A．Food banks needed fish. B．Salmon are not popular.
C．It lacked money. D．It wasted too much water.
Indonesia aims to increase their use of geothermal (地热的) energy to move away from highly polluting fossil fuels.
Geothermal energy uses heat from underground hot water to produce electricity. Environmental experts see geothermal as a good source of clean energy because it can provide power 24 hours a day. Geothermal power plants also require little to keep them running and can last for many years.
Countries with high geothermal possibilities have areas where volcanic activity naturally carries hot water or steam to the Earth’s surface. The hot water or steam can also be reached by digging into the ground.
Marit Brommer is head of the International Geothermal Association based in Netherlands. She said, “We’re essentially standing on our own Sun, which we can get clean, reliable energy from.”
In Southeast Asia, geothermal energy production is expected to augment ten times greater from 2020 to 2050, reaching 276 million megawatt-hours.
Indonesia is the second largest user of geothermal energy in the world. Still, Indonesia uses less than one-tenth of its large reserves of geothermal energy. Six percent of the country’s power supply comes from geothermal sources. Indonesia plans to expand its production of geothermal energy, aiming to increase geothermal production by at least 8 percent by 2030.
However, developing new geothermal projects is costly and sometimes risky for companies when they test and look for reservoirs (储藏). That makes it hard to get money for development. In Indonesia, villagers have protested geothermal projects. They say the projects are not safe and can harm the environment. Several geothermal projects in Indonesia have had deadly gas leaks (泄漏) in the past five years.
The World Bank is providing a $150 million loan to increase Indonesian investments in geothermal energy. And the Green Climate Fund and the Clean Technology Fund are providing $127.5 million. The Indonesian Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources says it is working to shorten the wait time to get permits for new geothermal projects. It is also considering ways to increase the amount of money companies could make from the projects.
28．Why does Marit Brommer compare the Earth to the Sun
A．It has energy as the Sun.
B．It is as helpful as the Sun.
C．It is as important as the Sun.
D．It can take the place of the Sun.
29．What does the underlined word “augment” in paragraph 5 mean
A．Strengthen. B．Apply.
C．Increase. D．Maintain.
30．What is paragraph 7 mainly about
A．The challenge facing new geothermal projects.
B．The benefit Indonesia got from new geothermal projects.
C．The effort companies made to develop new geothermal projects.
D．The Indonesia’s determination to develop new geothermal projects.
31．What does the author intend to tell in the last paragraph
A．Necessity to develop geothermal energy.
B．Measures to help develop geothermal energy.
C．Money needed to develop geothermal energy.
D．The history of geothermal energy development.
Ten Americans recently received two college degrees: One from a university in New York and the other from a Chinese university. The dual-degree (双学位) program is a project of Hofstra University on Long Island and China’s Dongbei University of Finance and Economics (DUFE).
Herman Berliner is the head of Hofstra University. He believes it is the first time American undergraduate students received degrees from an American and Chinese university at the same time. Students also take part in a six-week summer internship (实习) with an international company in China and attend education programs organized by DUFE.
“Nowadays a good business education should be global because it is a global economy,” Berliner said. “And it should be hands-on because hands-on experience gives our students more exposure to the reality they will find in the business world.” Berliner said he expects to welcome Chinese students to Hofstra University to continue their education and take internships at American companies.
Tori-Rae Matisoff of Monroe, New Jersey, is one of the 10 students to graduate with two degrees in business — one from Hofstra University and the other from DUFE. Last summer, she worked for the human resources office of a company in China. The company is one of the world’s largest producers of medicine. “This kind of experience really opens up your mind,” the New Jersey woman said. She is continuing her business studies at Hofstra University. She hopes to complete a master’s degree program.
While Hofstra University appears to be the first undergraduate program to offer dual degrees with a Chinese university, many American colleges offer students a chance to study overseas for part of a school year. And some colleges offer dual graduate school degrees with colleges outside the United States. Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies offers a dual master’s program in global politics and economics with Tsinghua University in China.
At Hofstra University’s graduation ceremonies, the 10 dual-degree receivers were given a red scarf from DUFE, as well as their Hofstra University diploma (毕业文凭).
32．What does Berliner think of the dual-degree program
A．Cheap. B．Necessary. C．Outstanding. D．Convenient.
33．What is Tori-Rae Matisoff going to do in the future
A．Set up her own business. B．Get two degrees in business.
C．Go on with her further study. D．Work for a company in China.
34．What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about
A．More American colleges cooperate with oversea schools.
B．More foreign students will study part-time in America.
C．More Chinese universities are popular in America.
D．More American students will get two degrees.
35．What is the best title for the text
A．A Unique Path to Career Success B．The Benefit of Owning Two Degrees
C．A Good Chance to Practice and Study D．Two College Degrees for the Price of One
Why cars might be the scariest things during Halloween
The scariest things hiding around the corner on Halloween aren’t what you might imagine but cars. 36 . There’s a lot of focus on the risks of candy that might be a little displaced, but one thing experts are sure of is an increase in child pedestrian fatalities (行人意外死亡) on Halloween. Here are some tips to make sure Halloween is safe and fun for everyone.
37 .
An easy way to keep out of harm’s way on Halloween is being aware of your surroundings. A lot of distracted (分心的) drivers and pedestrians are on their phones. Kids under the age of 12 generally should be with adults when trick-or-treating. Older kids should be aware of the rules of the road and practice being responsible pedestrians.
Costume tips
Costumes can be fun and creative, but experts say they should also be safe. Make sure costumes fit well, and avoid tripping risks like capes (斗篷) or large and heavy get-ups that aren’t safe for car seats. If children’s costume includes a mask, make sure it fits well and they can see with it on. 38 . Wearing bright, reflective costumes is a good idea, too.
Carve pumpkins safely
39 . But carving them can be dangerous. To avoid accidents, make sure the pumpkin is completely dry, use a marker to draw cut-outs beforehand and leave the carving to adults.
Be careful with candy and strangers
Parents should consider telling their kids to avoid eating candy until they get home in the case of any emergencies like choke. Halloween isn’t the night to explore new parts of town and go inside strange homes. Even in familiar neighborhoods, it’s likely that you’ll meet strangers. 40 .
A．Walk carefully
B．When in doubt, choose face paint
C．That goes for drivers and pedestrians
D．Try adding color sticker or reflective tape
E．That’s why it’s important to stay in groups
F．Jack-o’-lanterns are practically symbols for Halloween
G．Halloween is one of the deadliest days of the year for pedestrians

六、书面表达
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。
The holiday season brings out acts of kindness and generosity, and for the team at East Idaho News, it’s a time to go above and beyond through their Secret Santa initiative.
Each year, East Idaho News partners with a faceless donor to deliver life-changing gifts to worthy residents across the community. With careful consideration, they select individuals who have faced significant hardships or who tirelessly give to others. These holiday surprises are more than just gifts; they’re a way of spreading hope, showing appreciation, and lifting burdens from people who often put their own needs last.
Recently, a hardworking grandmother named Hope received a holiday surprise that was nothing short of incredible.
Hope has spent nearly 13 years working at a fast food restaurant, committed to long hours and early mornings to support her family. Her daughter, also a single mother, often works long, so Hope steps in to ensure her grandchildren are cared for each day. Living modestly, Hope always focuses on her family’s needs, making every effort to provide safety, comfort and care for her grandchildren, who are the center of her world. Despite her demanding job, Hope plays an active role in her grandchildren’s lives, balancing school pickups, after-school activities, and everyday missions. Beyond these responsibilities, she has a creative passion — making native American quilts. She works on these quilts in her limited free time, often gifting them to friends and family, symbolizing her love and cultural pride.
For Hope, getting around town has been an ongoing struggle due to continuous car troubles. After finally saving enough for a vehicle, her joy was short-lived when her second hand car was destroyed in an accident not long after she bought it. Determined, she bought another car, only to have it sideswiped, making it unusable. Since then, Hope has shared her daughter’s car, sometimes walking long distances to pick it up for tasks and work.
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。
Hope’s life took a wonderful turn when East Idaho News staff showed up at her workplace.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Many people were moved by Hope’s story, flooding the comments with heartfelt reactions.

【原文】M: Many years ago, I taught a student named Tom who was from a very poor family. He was very smart and never late with his homework. Every day at lunch I would see him go to the library instead of eating with everyone else. When I asked him about it, he said that he would rather study than eat. At first, I thought this was very good, but then I found out that he only did this because he could not afford to pay for lunch. I did not want to upset him by telling him what I learned, so I brought extra food with me every day and told him that my wife always packed me too much lunch because she was a chef at a restaurant and got food very cheap. He took the extra food, and ate lunch with me even though he seemed embarrassed. Years later, I received a letter from Tom and it was full of thanks. He became a doctor and now travels to poor hospitals around the world to help those in need.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了剑桥大学的科学家训练绵羊识别人脸的相关研究，该研究希望能为理解某些疾病提供帮助。
56．考查非谓语动词。句意：剑桥大学的科学家已经训练绵羊识别名人的面孔。“train sb. to do sth.”是固定短语，意为“训练某人做某事”，所以此处用动词不定式作宾语补足语。故填to recognize。
57．考查名词复数。句意：研究人员在两台电脑屏幕上向绵羊展示人们的照片。“screen”是可数名词，根据前面的“two”可知，此处要用复数形式。故填screens。

63．考查名词。句意：然而，研究人员表示，动物在这项测试中的表现与人类进行测试时所达到的水平相似。根据空前的定冠词“the”及句子结构可知，此处应用名词作主语，“perform”的名词形式是“performance”，意为“表现”，且根据语境可知，此处表示单数概念。故填performance。
64．考查定语从句。句意：然而，研究人员表示，动物在这项测试中的表现与人类进行测试时所达到的水平相似。此处为定语从句，“levels”是先行词，关系词在后面的定语从句中作主语，指物，所以用关系代词“that”或“which”引导。故填that/ which。
65．考查介词。句意：科学家们旨在利用绵羊作为模型来研究大脑疾病，如亨廷顿舞蹈症。“use...as...”是固定搭配，意为“使用……作为……”。故填as。
66．Dear Mike,
I understand your doubts about history classes, but I’d like to share why I find them valuable.
Learning history helps me understand the past, which shapes our present. For example, studying World War II taught me the importance of peace. History also improves critical thinking — analyzing causes and effects of events sharpens my mind.
Moreover, history connects us globally. By learning about different histories, I’ve gained respect for others’ traditions. I suggest you explore history too — it’s fascinating and useful.
Best regards,
Li Hua

Hope’s life took a wonderful turn when East Idaho News staff showed up at her workplace. Holding a steaming coffee pot, Hope stood still with shock as cameras and smiling faces surrounded her. The kitchen’s usual noise faded when the reporter announced, “Someone wants to give you a reliable car” Her rough hands trembled, covering her mouth as tears slid down her face. Behind her, coworkers burst into cheers while the camera captured her whispering “Thank you” repeatedly. Keys pressed into her hand, she seated herself into a chair, laughing through tears at the shiny blue SUV parked outside. “This means morning school runs without walks in the snow,” she choked out, hugging a Secret Santa team member tightly.
Many people were moved by Hope’s story, flooding the comments with heartfelt reactions. “Her selflessness reshapes me,” wrote a teacher, while a young mother commented, “This restored my faith in goodness.” Viewers noticed how Hope kept smoothing her uniform during the interview, as if grounding herself in reality. Some shared how their grandparents did the same tirelessly. The video’s closing shot of Hope’s grandchildren cheering in the new car became a symbol of community compassion. As donations poured in for her quilt materials, one viewer summarized, “Her light shines brighter because she first lit it in darkness.”
