When Marie Benton first moved to London in 2008, joining a choir helped her settle in. To comfort and boost
confidence for people in trouble, she hung posters in local hostels advertising “a choir with no name (yet)”, and it
was an immediate success. Thus was officially born The Choir with No Name (TCWNN), which now boasts seven
choirs across multiple cities to support those affected by homelessness and exclusion.
Studies have documented the close link between homelessness and poor mental health. A 2022 report revealed
homeless people experience worse physical and mental health than the general population. Fortunately, research in
Psychology of Music found choir participation improves positive emotions, with 88% of people seeing mental
health improvements and 78% reporting reduced stress and anxiety.
Frequently excluded and often ignored, homeless people are often isolated. “Our choirs aim to do the opposite,
where everyone is seen and heard,” says TCWNN’s CEO Dr. Kate Wareham.
Unlike other groups, TCWNN is free to join, welcoming people of all ages, backgrounds and musical abilities,
with no pre-registration, audition or regular commitment. Rehearsals (彩 排 ) start with a chat, followed by 90
minutes of group singing and a hot meal afterward. The choir directors are teaching group singing in a way that
ensures everyone is supported to grow both personally and musically.
Dan, who has been in the choir since 2015, says his life has been transformed. Forced to leave his family home
and living in a hostel, he had withdrawn from the world. Weekly rehearsals gave him a routine among the chaos,
providing hope during darkness. “When I joined, I was at the bottom of the ladder; choir was the start of climbing
up, and, slowly but surely, I got to where I am today — a confident and outgoing person.” he says. Now Dan has
his own flat and rebuilds family relationships.
4. Why did Marie Benton start TCWNN
A. To uplift people experiencing hardships. B. To help herself settle in London quickly.
C. To help with the promotion of local hostels. D. To establish a choir network across the UK.
5. What does the research in Psychology of Music show
A. The growing popularity of singing activities. B. The poor physical health of homeless people.
C. The positive effects of choir on mental health. D. The link between homelessness and mental health.
6. What does TCWNN feature
A. Required registration. B. Easy access for everyone.
C. High attendance demands. D. Strict musical ability standards.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Where Every Voice Matters B. How Music Heals Inner Wounds
C. Why Singing Brings Stress Relief D. What Science Says About Choirs
C
Philadelphia, sometimes also called Philly, is a big city on the Delaware River in the southeastern state of
Pennsylvania. It has about 1.5 million people.
William Penn, an Englishman, erected Pennsylvania in the 1680s, creating a new colony where religious
freedom was guaranteed. He also designed the city. Penn chose the name Philadelphia — a term meaning “city
of brotherly love” in Greek.
Philadelphia is famous for holding an important place in American history. It served as the nation’s capital
from 1785 to 1790. Earlier, it was the capital of the American colonies (殖民地) during most of the Revolutionary
War against Britain. Philadelphia became the central meeting place for the “Founding Fathers” who created the
United States government. The buildings where they worked can be seen today in an area called the Old City, or
Independence National Historical Park. The main building is Independence Hall. That was where colonial leaders
declared independence and later debated the creation of a government.
The National Park Service says more than 2.6 million people visited Independence National Historical Park
last year. Close to the park is the National Liberty Museum. It holds a collection of more than ninety paintings and
sculptures. Several blocks away lies the National Constitution (宪法) Center. This privately operated nonprofit
museum opened its doors in Philadelphia on July 4, 2003. It was created to increase public recognition of the
Constitution, its history, and its importance today.
Rich with tradition, Philadelphia offers plenty to visitors who are less concerned about history and more
concerned about their stomachs. There are many food choices for hungry visitors. Reading Terminal Market, for
example, is one of the nation’s largest public markets. At Reading Terminal Market, visitors can find all kinds of
foods — including, of course, Philly cheesesteak. The city is known for these sandwiches. They are made of thin
pieces of meat covered with cheese. A cheesesteak is offered with onions and other toppings and served on a long
roll.
8. What does the underlined word “erected” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Explored. B. Attacked. C. Founded. D. Recommended.
9. What does the author intend to tell us about Philadelphia in paragraph 3
A. Its local cultural traditions. B. Its unique architectural style.
C. Its popular tourist activities. D. Its vital historical position.
10. What do we know about the National Constitution Center
A. It attracts many tourists every year. B. It has a large collection of artworks.
C. It is privately run and requires a fee to visit. D. It focuses on citizen constitutional education.
11. How does Philadelphia attract visitors who care little about history
A. By offering food to hungry people. B. By organizing visits to various markets.
C. By introducing all kinds of delicious food. D. By teaching traditional food cooking skills.
D
In the global effort to fight climate change, scientists are exploring solutions in unexpected places —
including the soil beneath our feet. A recent study published in Nature highlights a promising discovery: specific
bacteria that can dramatically reduce agricultural emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), a powerful greenhouse gas.
Nitrous oxide, largely released from farm fields due to nitrogen fertiliser (肥 料 ) use, is a major climate
concern. According to co-author Professor Lars Bakken of the Norwegian University of Life Sciences, the gas is
265 times more effective at warming the atmosphere than carbon dioxide and can remain in the air for over a
century.
To develop the solution, researchers grew the bacteria using organic waste. Building on past work, they looked
for a microorganism that would reduce nitrous oxide emissions without staying in the soil for so long that it harmed
other life forms important for crop health. The bacteria reduced emissions after a second fertiliser treatment by
about half two weeks later. After three months, the makeup of microbial (微 生 物 的 ) life was unchanged,
suggesting the bacteria would not harm the soil.
The bacteria, which are not genetically modified, occur naturally in anaerobic digesters — facilities that
transform organic waste into biofuels. That might ease acceptance of their use, said Paul Carini of the University of
Arizona, who was not involved in the research. Moreover, Bakken stated that this “opens up a number of new
possibilities” for managing farmland. The bacteria could be added to fertilisers, offering a potential direct
application for farmers. As Carini noted, using a waste product from one industrial process to benefit another is
cost-effective.
However, significant challenges remain before widespread use. Professor Lori Hoagland of Purdue University,
an expert in the field, noted that soils vary globally, requiring more field testing to ensure effectiveness. More
critically, farmers currently get no financial motivation to adopt such methods. Bakken argued that authorities must
create policies to make emission reductions profitable. If these limitations can be addressed, this bacterial treatment
could have a major impact on reducing agriculture’s contribution to climate change.
12. Why is nitrous oxide a major climate concern
A. It is released in larger amounts than CO2.
B. It stays in the atmosphere for a very short time.
C. It comes mainly from industrial production.
D. It has a much stronger warming effect than CO2.
13. What did the researchers find
A. A way to help farmers increase fertiliser use.
B. A bacterium that stays in the soil forever.
C. A method to produce more biofuels from waste.
D. A microbe that cuts N2O without harming soil.
14. Which aspect of the bacteria is mainly discussed in paragraph 4
A. Its potential benefits. B. Its working principle.
C. Its producing process. D. Its research value.
15. What prevents the application of the finding
A. Shortage of necessary bacteria.
B. Difficulty in large-scale testing.
C. Lack of economic benefit for farmers.
D. Uncertainty about its effect.

Dear Fresher, joining a university can be a pleasant but challenging experience: horrific and yet beautiful,
scary but exciting. ____16____
Do not panic if, like me, you do not make friends on the first day or week. Before I met Sanaa, I had tried to
force myself to make friends with classmates in my other majors. Then I was starting to get convinced that there
was something wrong with me. ____17____ Eventually, when I started making more friends, it made sense why
the friendships I had forced did not work out. It was my first lesson in understanding my uniqueness, and reminding
me that my “friends” are somewhere, out there. ____18____
So, dear Fresher, as I say welcome to university life, I am also saying, give yourself time-to understand your
school, your course, and your new rhythm of life. Do not fall into the trap of people-pleasing to fit in.
____19____ Of course, you must leave room to grow and breathe- to discover amazing cultures, new accents,
and new ways of matching your clothes-but do not do anything that needs you to abandon your genuine self in
order to become.
Finally, it might not look like it, but the four, five, or six years you will be in university will pass by really
quickly. ____20____Perhaps that is DIYs, writing blog posts, participating in club activities in your department, or
joining the dance troupe.
So, dear Fresher, go forward, and leave your mark! You will be surprised at how much experience that will
contribute to your CV.
A. It is a big turn on the pages of your life.
B. Extracurricular activities build confidence.
C. I no longer struggle too hard to fit square pegs into round holes.
D. It is a good idea for you to make friends with like-minded people.
E. That was why I got uninspired by every friendship I tried to make.
F. While the new phase of life is challenging, remember who you truly are.
G. Seek out opportunities to do stuff you are passionate about during your free time.

_____33_____ to forget to pay me back ” “Oh my gosh I totally forgot! It _____34_____ my mind, I’m so sorry.”

My most memorable Thanksgiving happened last year at our local church, where a simple outreach program
blossomed into a profound lesson on the power of sharing, care, and inclusion.
A week before Thanksgiving, with a few church members, we wanted to give away holiday meals for families
in our community. We contacted neighbors and social workers for families who might be struggling. Their
responses were overwhelming: a single mother, Amy, working two jobs to pay medical bills; an elderly couple, Mr
and Mrs Jones, whose fixed income couldn’t stretch; the Tomas family, displaced by a recent fire...
Eventually, we created a list of 10 families in financial need, each to receive a Thanksgiving food basket.
These were carefully prepared baskets with all necessities for a traditional holiday meal: golden stuffing mix, green
beans, sweet potatoes, jellied cranberry sauce, flour, butter, onions, and dessert items, and even turkeys and hams.
That night, the fellowship hall buzzed with laughter and emotion. As each family arrived to pick up their
basket, their gratitude was evident. Mr and Mrs Jones shared how this would be their first full meal together in
weeks. Amy spoke quietly about job losses, and others about hardships. Yet, in that hall, there was warmth restored.
Just as the families were about to leave, a father, mother, and a child with worn but neat clothes stepped in.
The father said they had simply heard through word of mouth that a church was giving out food and decided to
come. Clearly, they were not on our list. I approached them and explained that we were unable to provide supplies
today for an extra family due to limited resources. I felt so sorry as I looked at the family, hoping they would
understand the difficult circumstances. The man responded with an awkward smile, saying, “Oh, never mind. We
just came to see if anything was available. Thank you anyway.”
注意：
（1）续写词数应为 150 左右；

When Marie Benton first moved to London in 2008, joining a choir helped her settle in. To comfort and boost
confidence for people in trouble, she hung posters in local hostels advertising “a choir with no name (yet)”, and it
was an immediate success. Thus was officially born The Choir with No Name (TCWNN), which now boasts seven
choirs across multiple cities to support those affected by homelessness and exclusion.
Studies have documented the close link between homelessness and poor mental health. A 2022 report revealed
homeless people experience worse physical and mental health than the general population. Fortunately, research in
Psychology of Music found choir participation improves positive emotions, with 88% of people seeing mental
health improvements and 78% reporting reduced stress and anxiety.
Frequently excluded and often ignored, homeless people are often isolated. “Our choirs aim to do the opposite,
where everyone is seen and heard,” says TCWNN’s CEO Dr. Kate Wareham.
Unlike other groups, TCWNN is free to join, welcoming people of all ages, backgrounds and musical abilities,
with no pre-registration, audition or regular commitment. Rehearsals (彩 排 ) start with a chat, followed by 90
minutes of group singing and a hot meal afterward. The choir directors are teaching group singing in a way that
ensures everyone is supported to grow both personally and musically.
Dan, who has been in the choir since 2015, says his life has been transformed. Forced to leave his family home
and living in a hostel, he had withdrawn from the world. Weekly rehearsals gave him a routine among the chaos,
providing hope during darkness. “When I joined, I was at the bottom of the ladder; choir was the start of climbing
up, and, slowly but surely, I got to where I am today — a confident and outgoing person.” he says. Now Dan has
his own flat and rebuilds family relationships.
4. Why did Marie Benton start TCWNN
A. To uplift people experiencing hardships. B. To help herself settle in London quickly.
C. To help with the promotion of local hostels. D. To establish a choir network across the UK.
5. What does the research in Psychology of Music show
A. The growing popularity of singing activities. B. The poor physical health of homeless people.
C. The positive effects of choir on mental health. D. The link between homelessness and mental health.
6. What does TCWNN feature
A. Required registration. B. Easy access for everyone.
C. High attendance demands. D. Strict musical ability standards.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Where Every Voice Matters B. How Music Heals Inner Wounds
C. Why Singing Brings Stress Relief D. What Science Says About Choirs

Philadelphia, sometimes also called Philly, is a big city on the Delaware River in the southeastern state of
Pennsylvania. It has about 1.5 million people.
William Penn, an Englishman, erected Pennsylvania in the 1680s, creating a new colony where religious
freedom was guaranteed. He also designed the city. Penn chose the name Philadelphia — a term meaning “city
of brotherly love” in Greek.
Philadelphia is famous for holding an important place in American history. It served as the nation’s capital
from 1785 to 1790. Earlier, it was the capital of the American colonies (殖民地) during most of the Revolutionary
War against Britain. Philadelphia became the central meeting place for the “Founding Fathers” who created the
United States government. The buildings where they worked can be seen today in an area called the Old City, or
Independence National Historical Park. The main building is Independence Hall. That was where colonial leaders
declared independence and later debated the creation of a government.
The National Park Service says more than 2.6 million people visited Independence National Historical Park
last year. Close to the park is the National Liberty Museum. It holds a collection of more than ninety paintings and
sculptures. Several blocks away lies the National Constitution (宪法) Center. This privately operated nonprofit
museum opened its doors in Philadelphia on July 4, 2003. It was created to increase public recognition of the
Constitution, its history, and its importance today.
Rich with tradition, Philadelphia offers plenty to visitors who are less concerned about history and more
concerned about their stomachs. There are many food choices for hungry visitors. Reading Terminal Market, for
example, is one of the nation’s largest public markets. At Reading Terminal Market, visitors can find all kinds of
foods — including, of course, Philly cheesesteak. The city is known for these sandwiches. They are made of thin
pieces of meat covered with cheese. A cheesesteak is offered with onions and other toppings and served on a long
roll.
8. What does the underlined word “erected” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Explored. B. Attacked. C. Founded. D. Recommended.
9. What does the author intend to tell us about Philadelphia in paragraph 3
A. Its local cultural traditions. B. Its unique architectural style.
C. Its popular tourist activities. D. Its vital historical position.
10. What do we know about the National Constitution Center
A. It attracts many tourists every year. B. It has a large collection of artworks.
C. It is privately run and requires a fee to visit. D. It focuses on citizen constitutional education.
11. How does Philadelphia attract visitors who care little about history
A. By offering food to hungry people. B. By organizing visits to various markets.
C. By introducing all kinds of delicious food. D. By teaching traditional food cooking skills.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. C

In the global effort to fight climate change, scientists are exploring solutions in unexpected places —
including the soil beneath our feet. A recent study published in Nature highlights a promising discovery: specific
bacteria that can dramatically reduce agricultural emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), a powerful greenhouse gas.
Nitrous oxide, largely released from farm fields due to nitrogen fertiliser (肥 料 ) use, is a major climate
concern. According to co-author Professor Lars Bakken of the Norwegian University of Life Sciences, the gas is
265 times more effective at warming the atmosphere than carbon dioxide and can remain in the air for over a
century.
To develop the solution, researchers grew the bacteria using organic waste. Building on past work, they looked
for a microorganism that would reduce nitrous oxide emissions without staying in the soil for so long that it harmed
other life forms important for crop health. The bacteria reduced emissions after a second fertiliser treatment by
about half two weeks later. After three months, the makeup of microbial (微 生 物 的 ) life was unchanged,
suggesting the bacteria would not harm the soil.
The bacteria, which are not genetically modified, occur naturally in anaerobic digesters — facilities that
transform organic waste into biofuels. That might ease acceptance of their use, said Paul Carini of the University of
Arizona, who was not involved in the research. Moreover, Bakken stated that this “opens up a number of new
possibilities” for managing farmland. The bacteria could be added to fertilisers, offering a potential direct
application for farmers. As Carini noted, using a waste product from one industrial process to benefit another is
cost-effective.
However, significant challenges remain before widespread use. Professor Lori Hoagland of Purdue University,
an expert in the field, noted that soils vary globally, requiring more field testing to ensure effectiveness. More
critically, farmers currently get no financial motivation to adopt such methods. Bakken argued that authorities must
create policies to make emission reductions profitable. If these limitations can be addressed, this bacterial treatment
could have a major impact on reducing agriculture’s contribution to climate change.
12. Why is nitrous oxide a major climate concern
A. It is released in larger amounts than CO2.
B. It stays in the atmosphere for a very short time.
C. It comes mainly from industrial production.
D. It has a much stronger warming effect than CO2.
13. What did the researchers find
A. A way to help farmers increase fertiliser use.
B. A bacterium that stays in the soil forever.
C. A method to produce more biofuels from waste.
D. A microbe that cuts N2O without harming soil.
14. Which aspect of the bacteria is mainly discussed in paragraph 4
A. Its potential benefits. B. Its working principle.
C. Its producing process. D. Its research value.
15. What prevents the application of the finding
A. Shortage of necessary bacteria.
B. Difficulty in large-scale testing.
C. Lack of economic benefit for farmers.
D. Uncertainty about its effect.

Dear Fresher, joining a university can be a pleasant but challenging experience: horrific and yet beautiful,
scary but exciting. ____16____
Do not panic if, like me, you do not make friends on the first day or week. Before I met Sanaa, I had tried to
force myself to make friends with classmates in my other majors. Then I was starting to get convinced that there
was something wrong with me. ____17____ Eventually, when I started making more friends, it made sense why
the friendships I had forced did not work out. It was my first lesson in understanding my uniqueness, and reminding
me that my “friends” are somewhere, out there. ____18____
So, dear Fresher, as I say welcome to university life, I am also saying, give yourself time-to understand your
school, your course, and your new rhythm of life. Do not fall into the trap of people-pleasing to fit in.
____19____ Of course, you must leave room to grow and breathe- to discover amazing cultures, new accents,
and new ways of matching your clothes-but do not do anything that needs you to abandon your genuine self in
order to become.
Finally, it might not look like it, but the four, five, or six years you will be in university will pass by really
quickly. ____20____Perhaps that is DIYs, writing blog posts, participating in club activities in your department, or
joining the dance troupe.
So, dear Fresher, go forward, and leave your mark! You will be surprised at how much experience that will
contribute to your CV.
A. It is a big turn on the pages of your life.
B. Extracurricular activities build confidence.
C. I no longer struggle too hard to fit square pegs into round holes.
D. It is a good idea for you to make friends with like-minded people.
E. That was why I got uninspired by every friendship I tried to make.
F. While the new phase of life is challenging, remember who you truly are.
G. Seek out opportunities to do stuff you are passionate about during your free time.

【答案】范文：
Boys and girls,
I feel honored to be here to share a song that touches my heart, called “Heal the World” by Michael Jackson. It
was written to encourage people to care for others. As the song notes, “Heal the world, make it a better place, for
you and for me.”
This song makes me think about how I relate to others. Last year, I joined a volunteer group to help children in
poor areas. Seeing their smiles, I realized that even small acts of kindness matter. The song is like a wake-up call,
reminding me that we are all connected and inspiring me to keep giving.
I hope all of you can find a song that touches your heart and moves you to act.
Thank you!

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。
My most memorable Thanksgiving happened last year at our local church, where a simple outreach program
blossomed into a profound lesson on the power of sharing, care, and inclusion.
A week before Thanksgiving, with a few church members, we wanted to give away holiday meals for families
in our community. We contacted neighbors and social workers for families who might be struggling. Their
responses were overwhelming: a single mother, Amy, working two jobs to pay medical bills; an elderly couple, Mr
and Mrs Jones, whose fixed income couldn’t stretch; the Tomas family, displaced by a recent fire...
Eventually, we created a list of 10 families in financial need, each to receive a Thanksgiving food basket.
These were carefully prepared baskets with all necessities for a traditional holiday meal: golden stuffing mix, green
beans, sweet potatoes, jellied cranberry sauce, flour, butter, onions, and dessert items, and even turkeys and hams.
That night, the fellowship hall buzzed with laughter and emotion. As each family arrived to pick up their
basket, their gratitude was evident. Mr and Mrs Jones shared how this would be their first full meal together in
weeks. Amy spoke quietly about job losses, and others about hardships. Yet, in that hall, there was warmth restored.
Just as the families were about to leave, a father, mother, and a child with worn but neat clothes stepped in.
The father said they had simply heard through word of mouth that a church was giving out food and decided to
come. Clearly, they were not on our list. I approached them and explained that we were unable to provide supplies
today for an extra family due to limited resources. I felt so sorry as I looked at the family, hoping they would
understand the difficult circumstances. The man responded with an awkward smile, saying, “Oh, never mind. We
just came to see if anything was available. Thank you anyway.”
注意：
（1）续写词数应为 150 左右；

【答案】参考范文：
Just as the disappointed family were about to leave, Mrs Jones stopped them. She hurried over with her neatly
packed food basket. “Wait a moment,” she said gently, fetching an empty box from the corner of hall. She pulled
out a bag of golden stuffing mix and laid it carefully into the box. Mr Jones stood beside her, nodded in agreement,
“We don’t need so much food for just the two of us.” Inspired by their kindness, Amy reached into her basket for a
jar of jellied cranberry sauce, while the Tomas family contributed six plump sweet potatoes. One by one, each
family stepped forward and offered an item. Soon, the empty box was transformed into the 11th special basket,
brimming with all the Thanksgiving necessities, woven together by the love of everyone present.
Seeing the special “basket”, the family were moved to tears. The mother quickly wiped her moist eyes with
the back of her hand, and clutched her child tightly to her chest, while the father held the basket as if it were a
precious treasure. “Thank you, thank you all so much,” he said hoarsely, his voice choked with deep gratitude. The
child looked up at the crowd and whispered a shy yet sincere“thank you” too. As they left, the warm glow of the
church lights fell on their figures, gently illuminating their path home. That night, we all grasped the true essence of
Thanksgiving — it lies not just in giving, but in sharing hand in hand.
