Ryder was born with a physical disability and has never been able to walk. He started using a wheelchair when he was two years old. When he turned five, he started attending elementary school in June 2019, and every day had to be pushed to the end of the road to wait for his school bus by his parents, Tim and Nikea. If he was running late for the bus, he had to wait for up to 15 minutes out whatever the weather was.
In September, Ryder’s father, Tim, put up a patio (露台) umbrella at the end of his driveway to provide some shelter. However, with the wind and rain here in New England, it didn’t help much and Ryder still got wet and cold. Desperately, Tim who runs an electronics company, placed a post on Facebook, turning to his community to see if anyone could have an old bus hut (棚) which helps to protect Ryder from the bad weather.
After knowing about Ryder’s problem, three local students in Bradford, Rhode Island, decided to build a new bus hut for Ryder during their construction lessons, worrying that snow would be falling soon and Ryder would have a rough time. They worked hard on the project for several weeks, learning new skills through YouTube to create the structure. About $300 worth of wood was donated and the rest of the materials were purchased by Tim for $600. The hut was so huge that it could accommodate both Ryder and one of his parents or a nurse comfortably, and was finally delivered to their home six weeks later on November 2.
“We were shocked. It was much bigger than we expected. Ryder loved it. He did like to go out in it every day before school,” Tim said. The family sent a photo of Ryder in the bus shelter and thanked the teens for their hard work. This project brought his community together, showing that there is kindness in this world.
4. What do we know about Ryder
A. He suffered a lot on his way to school.
B. He was born in 2013 with a physical disability.
C. He longed for a new umbrella to get some shelter.
D. He was driven to school by his parents Tim and Nikea.
5. What can be inferred about the three students who built the bus hut for Ryder
A. They were hired by Tim to complete the project.
B. They were motivated by a desire to help him out.
C. They built the hut as part of a school competition.
D. They intended to put their previous skills into practice.
6 What does the underlined word “accommodate” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Be tolerant to. B. Provide space for. C. Provide home for. D. Be accustomed to.
7. What message does this passage convey
A. Hard work pays off. B. It is never too old to learn.
C. Kindness makes a difference. D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C
Laughter, in response to funny events, actually takes a lot of work, because it activates many areas of the brain: areas that control motor, emotional, cognitive and social processing. Researchers now appreciate laughter’s power to improve physical and mental well-being (健康).
People begin laughing when they are babies, which helps develop muscles and upper body strength. Laughter is not just breathing. It relies on complex combinations of facial muscles, often involving movement of the eyes, head and shoulders. By activating the neural (神经的) pathways of emotions like joy, laughter can improve your mood and make your physical response to stress less intense.
A good sense of humor and the laughter that follows depend on an abundant measure of social intelligence and working memory resources. Laughter, like humor, typically comes from recognizing the oddness of a situation. You need to mentally resolve the surprising behavior or event—otherwise you won’t laugh; you might just be confused instead. Inferring the intentions of others and taking their perspective can increase the intensity of the laughter and amusement you feel. To “get” a joke or humorous situation, you need to be able to see the lighter side of things. You must believe that other possibilities besides the literal meaning exist.
Laughter creates bonds with others. Linguist Don Nilsen points out that laughs seldom happen when alone, supporting their strong social role. For example, public speakers and comedians try to get a laugh to make audiences feel psychologically closer to them. By practicing a little laughter each day, you can improve social skills that may not come naturally to you. When you laugh in response to humor, you share your feelings with others and learn from the risks that your response will be accepted by others and not be rejected.
Laughter also produces positive emotions. These feelings—like amusement, happiness and joy—build resiliency (复原力) and increase creative thinking. They increase subjective well-being and life satisfaction. Researchers find that these positive emotions experienced with humor and laughter are related to appreciating the meaning of life.
8. How does laughter help improve our well-being
A. It helps with breathing. B. It activates various brain areas.
C. It affects facial muscles. D. It improves physical strength.
9. What is necessary for experiencing laughter according to Paragraph 3
A. Having a high level of intelligence. B. Maintaining a general outlook on life.
C. Discovering the strangeness of a situation. D. Understanding the literal meaning of a joke.
10. Why do speakers and comedians aim to make listeners laugh
A. To show their wisdom of life. B. To demonstrate their presentation style.
C. To make the presentation more challenging. D. To create psychological closeness with listeners.
11. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text
A. To stress the positive effects of laughter. B. To provide a general definition of laughter.
C. To highlight the social importance of laughter. D. To instruct readers on how to practice laughter.
D
Virtual reality (VR) technology from video games and GPS-like apps is now entering hospitals, helping doctors work more safely and successfully. Dr. Ryan Broderick, a doctor at the University of California San Diego, recently tested Apple’s Vision Pro headset with “spatial (空间的) computing” during surgeries (外科手术), becoming one of the first doctors in the U. S. to try this technology.
“With these headsets, we can project medical images into the real world of the surgery room,” Broderick explains. “We can make screens as big as a wall or adjust them to the perfect position.” This technology mixes digital images with real-world views, letting doctors see 3D models of a patient’s body — like where a tumor (肿瘤) is — almost like giving them Xray view.
In the past, doctors had to frequently turn their heads to check screens during complex surgeries, leading to neck and shoulder pain. Now, spatial computing shows all key information right in front of their eyes. “It works like a car direction system — highlighting danger areas or warning us to avoid important areas,” says Broderick.
The tech also helps train new doctors. Teachers can use virtual screens to show body structures, point out key areas with glowing arrows, or even draw where to make cuts on a 3D heart model. “Students can watch the teacher’s virtual explanations, which is clearer than reading textbooks!” Broderick adds. This hands-on learning helps trainees master skills faster.
Top U. S. hospitals like Johns Hopkins are already testing similar systems. Though the equipment is expensive and needs software improvements, Broderick remains hopeful: “This isn’t just new tools — it’s a revolution in healthcare. In 10 years, technology like this could help millions get better treatment.” From video games to life-saving surgeries, VR is proving that cool tech can truly change lives.
12. How can headsets help with surgeries according to paragraph 2
A By making the surgery room brighter. B. By letting doctors avoid looking at screens.
C. By helping patients stay calm during surgery. D. By showing 3D pictures of the patient’s body.
13. What is one of the benefits of using VR for doctors
A. It allows them to perform surgeries without any help.
B. It reduces physical stress and potential job-related pain.
C. It enables them to communicate directly with patients.
D. It allows them to work without any medical images.
14. What is Broderick’s attitude toward VR’s future in healthcare
A. Negative. B. Neutral. C. Positive. D. Doubtful.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. What Is the Future of VR in Hospitals B. How Is VR Changing the World of Surgery
C. What Are the Challenges of VR in Hospitals D. Why Is VR Technology Important for Patients

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整短文。
Joyce is in the fourth grade and he joined the noisy children of his class as usual. “Children! Silence!” Mangat Madam suddenly entered the class. She announced next week would be math week. “I’d like each of you to work on a project. You could do it individually or in a group.” She instructed. “The topic for the project needs approving tomorrow and it has to be displayed at the math week exhibition. The best project will be awarded and there is also a surprise gift from my side,” she added.
Joyce, who is extremely good at math, sat in the corner seat of the first bench with Karan , an average. Karan asked Joyce if they could work on the math project together. Joyce replied in a prideful tone, "Ha-ha you want to join me. I think I will do the project on my own.” Joyce wanted to get awarded and the surprise gift all for himself from Mangat Madam.
After deep consideration, Joyce decided to work on a math magic quiz on the circuit board (电路板). The next day in school, Mangat Madam arrived in the classroom and all the children submitted their topics for the math exhibition. They all chose to work in a group except Joyce. In the following days, Joyce gathered all the materials for the project such as wires, bulbs (灯泡), a switch and a thin plywood board (胶合板). He worked out a few mathematical basic operations (运算) to be fixed on the board so that when the wire of the circuit touched the right answer, the bulb glowed. Joyce completed the project and was happy with the result.
The evening before the exhibition, while packing his school bags, Joyce again checked the project to see if it was working fine. Alas! All the lights that were to glow did not seem to light at all. Without finding the reason, Joyce was tensed up. However, he decided to take the same project to the school as he couldn’t change the topic at the last minute. Then came the next day, and everybody was fascinated by the exhibition.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
It was Joyce’s turn to display his project.

Finally, the teacher announced Karan’s team was the winner.

【答案】Dear editor,
I believe middle school students can benefit from using DeepSeek for learning if guided properly.
Firstly, it provides instant access to knowledge explanations, helping us clarify confusing concepts efficiently. Secondly, its personalized learning features allow students to review weak areas systematically. However, overreliance should be avoided. Students must develop independent thinking by verifying AI-generated answers through textbooks and teacher consultations.
In conclusion, DeepSeek serves as a powerful supplementary tool rather than a replacement for traditional learning methods. By balancing technology with active human engagement, we can maximize academic progress.
Kind regards,
Li Hua

【答案】参考范文
It was Joyce’s turn to display his project. Making his way to the platform with heavy steps, Joyce placed all the materials for his project well and began to conduct his math magic quiz on the circuit board. He prayed in his heart that his lights would glow again but in vain. Hearing other students whispering to each other, Joyce’s face flushed with shame. He ducked his head and stepped back to his seat. And then Karan’s team showed their project. With joint efforts, they made it.
Finally, the teacher announced Karan’s team was the winner. All the children burst into thunderous applause on hearing that. Karan and his partners walked up to the front with great excitement. They were awarded and also received the surprise gift from Mangat Madam. After class, Joyce approached Karan, expressed admiration for his team’s project and congratulated them on their success sincerely. That day Joyce learnt the biggest lesson of his life: it is always better to work as a team rather than working alone.
