Steve Bagmanyan found his calling in a workshop filled with broken instruments. But every year, the shop brings both joy and heartbreak. Due to budget cuts, the number of technicians has
dropped from 60 to just 11, leaving them to repair instruments for more than half a million students in Los Angeles public schools.
“The work we do is important and needs to be preserved, but it’s becoming a dying craft,” said Bagmanyan,60, who runs the shop and handles piano repairs. “Children are our future, yet music programs are being cut across the country.”
However, there is hope for the shop. The Last Repair Shop, a short documentary featuring Bagmanyan and three other technicians, recently won an Oscar for best documentary short film. The film combines their personal stories with reflections from students who have found comfort and joy in music.
Few people even knew the shop existed before the documentary’s release. This workshop, in operation since 1959, is believed to be the last ofits kind in the country. Bagmanyan and his team provide free instruments and repairs across the school district, often serving children from low-income families. For many of these children, public schools are their only source of musical instruments, which wealthier families can more easily afford.
Since the release of the film, public support has soared. Donations have been made to fund more repairs and strengthen school music programs in Los Angeles. “People are inspired by what we do and want to support a dying art form,” said Ben Proudfoot, who co-directed the
documentary.
Bagmanyan knows that a poorly maintained instrument can discourage a child from
learning. “If an instrument doesn’t work properly, a child might give up on music,” he said. “But when you know the instrument is going to a student who loves it, it’s impossible not to smile.”
After 21 years of service, Bagmanyan says his cup is full, knowing that children may carry a love of music with them for a lifetime. “I was planning to retire,” he admitted. “But now I’ll
rebuild the shop to what it once was and keep going a little longer.”
24 .What is the challenge faced by Bagmanyan
A .Old instruments. B .Declining number of students.
C .Low profitability. D .Shortage of skilled technicians.
25 .What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A .The career achievements of Bagmanyan.
B .The popularity of the documentary.
C .The unique history of the school district.
D .The importance of the repair shop.
26 .How does the documentary impact the shop
A .It enhances the shop’s public image.
B .It attracts new business opportunities.
C .It helps sustain the shop’s operation.
D .It provides education to the community.
27 .What do the underlined words “his cup is full” in the last paragraph mean
A .He is ready to retire. B .He feels deeply satisfied.
C .He is tired of the spotlight. D .He has become very wealthy.
C
Earthworms (蚯蚓) are well-known for their ability to enrich and improve soil. Yet, their precise impact on plant growth has remained a mystery. Now, two groundbreaking studies have found that they not only boost crop yields (产量) but also protect plants from harmful
microplastics.
In late 2023, a research team from Colorado State University (CSU) reported that
earthworms are responsible for 6.5 percent - or 140 million tons - of global food production
annually. This is comparable to Russia’s annual grain harvest, which is the world’s fourth largest.
CSU’s Steven Fonte and his team drew this conclusion after a comprehensive study. They surveyed earthworm populations, soil qualities, and crop yields from around the world. The
researchers focused on four grains - rice, maize, wheat, and barley.
The team found that the earthworms’ impact was significant in developing countries. For
example, they helped increase grain yields by 10 percent in sub-Saharan Africa and 8 percent in Latin America. Fonte and his team believe farmers in these regions likely lack easy access to
chemical fertilizers (化肥). This makes them more reliant on earthworm-rich organic matter, such as manure.
“Earthworms are contributing a lot in these areas where we have fewer chemical inputs,” Fonte said. “If we manage our soils in a more sustainable way, we can better make use of this
biodiversity and produce more sustainable agroecosystems.”
Earthworms help plant growth in several ways. Their burrowing creates channels that
loosen the soil and let in fresh air. This allows water to run down from the surface and be stored underground. The earthworms’ constant movement helps mix the soil’s organic matter, making the nutrients more available to plants.
In a 2024 study, scientists at Nankai University found that earthworms can also protect plants from microplastic pollution. The researchers tested this by placing tomato plants in soil polluted by tiny plastics. They found that when earthworms were present, the plants grew well despite the pollution. They were also able to drive away common plant-eating insects. The
scientists believe that earthworms help boost the tomato plants’ immune systems. This makes them better withstand environmental changes.
28 .What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A .The methods used in the study. B .The impact of microplastics on crops.
C.The types of grains studied in the research. D.Earthworms’ contribution to global food output.
29 .What is one benefit of managing soil with earthworms
A .Greater crop diversity. B .More sustainable farming.
C .Richer organic matter. D .Enough chemical fertilizer supply.
30 .What does the underlined word “burrowing” in paragraph 6 mean
A .Transporting. B .Resting. C .Growing. D .Digging.
31 .What did the Nankai University study find about earthworms
A .They killed insects harmful to plants.
B .They helped carry away microplastics.
C .They protected plants from environmental stress.
D .They grew well in spite of environmental pollution.

From an airplane, cars moving slowly on the highway closely resemble a line of ants.
Unlike these human-driven vehicles, however, ants are able to avoid the frustrating stop-and-go traffic that bothers daily commutes (通勤). Researchers have therefore turned their attention to studying the ants’ teamwork-based behaviors, hoping to apply these insights to programming
self-driving cars that can prevent traffic jams.
As the number of cars on highways keeps growing, the stability of traffic flow gradually
decreases. Studies show that when the density (密度) reaches 15 vehicles per mile per lane (车道), a single driver’s sudden brake tap can give rise to long-lasting and widespread traffic jams.
Scientist Katsuhiro Nishinari, a mathematical physicist studying traffic transitions, compares this phenomenon to a phase transition, such as water turning into ice. Even small individual actions in such situations can quickly develop into major traffic issues.
Katsuhiro Nishinari’s previous research has already shown that food-seeking ants can
maintain smooth movement even when their population density is very high. A recent follow-up study has uncovered they usually travel in groups of 3 to 20 individuals, moving at steady speeds with proper gaps between each other and never attempting to overtake. Their behavior depends on mutual collaboration rather than individual preferences.
This collective intelligence offers a lesson for human drivers today. One key takeaway is to avoid tailgating. Keeping a safe distance from the vehicle ahead helps absorb the shock waves
caused by sudden braking in dense traffic — a simple practice that prioritizes the smooth flow of the whole over individual hurry. Of course, ants have the natural advantage of creating flexible
paths, while cars are bound to fixed lanes. But the principle of maintaining proper spacing remains crucial for safety and efficiency on our roads.
Looking ahead, the real transformation may come from technology. As Katsuhiro Nishinari points out, “Unlike human drivers who often act independently, future self-driving cars could be designed to share real-time data and function as an integrated system.” Inspired by ants, these
vehicles can upgrade traffic flow as a cooperative system, potentially requiring updates to existing
regulations to fully realize their benefits.
32 .What can cause widespread highway traffic jams directly
A .A total of 15 cars per mile. B .Ant behaviors affecting driving.
C .Reduced stability of traffic flow. D .A sudden brake at a certain density.
33 .What is the purpose of mentioning the recent follow-up study in paragraph 3
A .To compare ants with human drivers. B .To criticize current traffic regulations.
C.To explain the math behind traffic jams. D.To detail how ants achieve smooth movement.
34 .What does the underlined word “tailgating” probably mean in paragraph 4
A .Keeping a proper distance. B .Following strict traffic rules.
C .Driving too close to the front. D .Seeking efficient lane position.
35 .What is Katsuhiro Nishinari’s suggestion for ant-inspired self-driving cars
A .Collect personal travel data. B .Adopt a collaborative approach.
C .Redesign traffic rules constantly. D .Rely on active human intervention.

Practical Rules of Gardening
You may find nothing is worse than a garden that won’t grow. You’re not alone — many
gardeners face the same struggle. 36 Either way, these problems can make a garden truly annoying. Check out these tips if you’re sick of a problematic garden and want to see your efforts pay off.
You should make a maintenance schedule. Plants appreciate loving care and will reward
you for your providing it. On the contrary, ignoring garden maintenance can do lasting damage to them. You should first familiarize yourself with the needs of your plants. 37
You must visit your garden frequently. If you ask experienced gardeners for advice, they
will often say, “ 38 ” It means that the gardeners who spend a lot of time in their gardens notice problems while they are still small and manageable. Regular monitoring is an effective way to detect destructive insects and diseases before they get out of control, and what could be nicer
than a daily walk through your own little wonderland
39 Most garden plants prefer a constant amount of soil moisture (水分). To make the job easy, set up a simple irrigation system and put it on a timer. The watering will take care of itself, and your plants won’t have to survive on the changeability of the weather.
It’s best to group plants with similar maintenance needs. People tend to be with others like themselves, as we all know 40 Plants that need good drainage (排水) should be planted together. They should not be mixed in with plants that need very wet soil. Keep this in mind:
Group them by their growth and care needs.
A .And it’s true for plants, too.
B .Keeping the water flowing is crucial.
C .It might be poor soil, or disturbing insects.
D .Plants need healthy soil and natural watering.
E .But you can turn things around with right actions.
F .The best thing for a garden is the shadow of the gardener.
G .Then mark the calendar to remind yourself what needs doing.

In recent years, rural museums have become important across China. They help to protect local culture and support village development. By 2023, Yunnan Province in southwest China
56 (build) over 400 such museums. These museums don’t just show old objects; they 57 (true) involve local people in protecting their cultural traditions.
These museums are special because they keep traditions in their real setting. For example, they might show an old farming tool together with stories told by village elders, making the
experience 58 (meaningful). This helps to keep the true meaning of culture, especially when traditional objects are taken from their original places. The museums also hold classes
59 skilled elders teach young people traditional skills, making sure these special traditions are saved for the future.
These museums also help the local economy. Many villages now combine museum visits with fun 60 (activity) like pottery making. This way of mixing culture with tourism has become very popular and successful. 61 it also brings a real economic benefit to local families through homestays and sales of local products.
Besides economic benefits, these museums help build community spirit. They make older people feel 62 (value) and give young people new chances by connecting traditional
culture with modern life. In this way, the museum becomes 63 unique place that brings people together. However, 64 (keep) being successful, these museums need to balance keeping old traditions and trying new things. 65 this balance, the museums might not be able to help their communities well in the long term.

When I was seven years old, my family moved from Mexico to America. In Mexico, I was a cheerful girl who loved making people laugh with my jokes and inventing fun games to play
with my friends. However, when I arrived in America, I found it hard to fit in, and I became quieter.
We lived in a small house with a modest yard where we grew vegetables-my responsibility. While I took pride in watching them grow, there were times when I dreamed of having a beautiful garden like my schoolmate Luella’s, with its delicate tulips (郁金香). Although Luella lived in the same neighborhood as me, we barely knew each other.
It was after a tornado that Luella and I finally became close friends.
The tornado struck on a Sunday afternoon. The gentle breeze transformed into a strong
wind, and thick gray clouds filled the sky. Gradually, the tornado took shape, starting as a thin rope and growing into a large black funnel (漏斗). My entire family gathered in the bathroom, seeking shelter from the storm. Terrified, I sat close to my mom, knees in my chest. After the
storm had passed, our worries and fears were replaced by relief that we were unharmed and that our house had remained undamaged.
As I stepped outside, I witnessed the extent of the damage the tornado had caused to our neighborhood. Across the street, a tall tree had fallen, crushing Luella’s garden in front of her yellow house. We hurried over to check on it. Fortunately, her family seemed to be away at the time, and no one was injured. However, her once-beautiful garden was in ruins, with the fallen tree destroying the tulips and debris (碎片) spread everywhere. I could only imagine how
heartbroken they must feel seeing this.
Then my mom’s usual words rang in my ear, “It is more blessed to give than to receive,” and my family started to think about how we could help.
注意:
1.续写词数应为 150 左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Just at that moment, Luella’s family returned in their car.

Even after the debris was cleared, I could still sense Luella’s sorrow for her lost garden.

Hi, everyone. If you’ve followed our journey from the start, you’ll recall that we set out
from Portugal, traveled across Spain and into southern France, then made our way through the
Alps to Austria, and this week we’ve arrived in Berlin. We won’t linger long at the well-known
sights. In a city like Berlin, even a first-time visitor knows to visit the historic Berlin Wall and no one skips the Brandenburg Gate. But we’re exploring spots that most tourists overlook. For
example, the most striking city view might not be from the TV Tower, but from the rooftop of the Berlin Church. From there, you can see the TV Tower along with the whole cityscape. It’s more
affordable and less crowded. For some of the best views in the city, get on Route 100 — it’s a
feast for the eyes as it winds past many of Berlin’s key attractions. Or we can glide through Berlin on one of the city’s canal boats. Many European cities have excellent public transit, but Berlin’s
system is especially impressive. You can reach almost every corner of the city for a modest fare. In fact, with a day ticket that costs about the same as a sandwich, you can travel all over town
without worrying.

(由于预算削减,技术人员的人数从 60 人减少到了仅 11 人,而他们却要负责维修洛杉矶公立学校超过 50 万名学生的乐器)”可知,由于预算削减,技术人员的人数从 60 人减少到只有 11 人,所以 Bagmanyan面临的挑战是技术人员短缺。故选 D。
25 .主旨大意题。由文章第四段“Few people even knew the shop existed before the
documentary’s release. This workshop, in operation since 1959, is believed to be the last of its
kind in the country. Bagmanyan and his team provide free instruments and repairs across the
school district, often serving children from low-income families. For many of these children,
public schools are their only source of musical instruments, which wealthier families can more
easily afford. (在这部纪录片上映之前,几乎没人知道这家工坊的存在。这家自 1959 年就开始运营的工坊,被认为是全国同类工坊中仅存的一家。巴格马尼扬和他的团队为整个学区的
学校提供免费乐器和维修服务,服务对象往往是来自低收入家庭的孩子。对于这些孩子中的许多人来说,公立学校是他们获得乐器的唯一途径,而富裕家庭则更容易负担得起乐器)”可知,本段主要讲述了维修工作室的重要性。故选 D。
26 .细节理解题。由文章第五段中“Since the release of the film, public support has soared.
Donations have been made to fund more repairs and strengthen school music programs in Los

production annually. This is comparable to Russia’s annual grain harvest, which is the world’s
fourth largest. (2023 年底,科罗拉多州立大学(CSU)的一个研究小组报告称,蚯蚓每年占全球粮食产量的 6.5% ,即 1.4 亿吨。这与俄罗斯的粮食年产量相当,俄罗斯是世界第四大粮食生产国。)”可知,本段主要讲述蚯蚓对全球粮食产量的贡献。故选 D。
29 .细节理解题。根据第五段“If we manage our soils in a more sustainable way, we can better make use of this biodiversity and produce more sustainable agroecosystems. (如果我们以更可持续的方式管理土壤,我们就能更好地利用这种生物多样性,产生更可持续的农业生态系

30.词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“creates channels that loosen the soil and let in fresh air (开辟通道,使土壤松动,让新鲜空气进入)”可知,蚯蚓会挖洞,开辟通道,使土壤松动,让新鲜
空气进入。故划线词意思是“挖洞”。故选 D。
31.细节理解题。根据最后一段“They found that when earthworms were present, the plants grew well despite the pollution. They were also able to drive away common plant-eating insects. The
scientists believe that earthworms help boost the tomato plants’ immune systems. This makes
them better withstand environmental changes. (他们发现,当蚯蚓存在时,尽管有污染,植物还是长得很好。它们还能赶走常见的食草昆虫。科学家们认为蚯蚓有助于增强番茄植株的免疫系统。这使它们能够更好地抵御环境变化。 )”可知,南开大学的研究发现蚯蚓保护植物免受

widespread traffic jams.(研究表明,当密度达到每车道每英里 15 辆车时,单个驾驶员的突然刹车会导致持续时间长、范围广的交通堵塞。)”可知,在特定密度下,单个驾驶员的突然刹车会直接导致大面积高速公路交通堵塞。故选 D。
33.推理判断题。根据第三段中“Katsuhiro Nishinari’s previous research has already shown that food-seeking ants can maintain smooth movement even when their population density is very
high. A recent follow-up study has uncovered they usually travel in groups of 3 to 20 individuals, moving at steady speeds with proper gaps between each other and never attempting to
overtake.(Katsuhiro Nishinari 此前的研究已经表明,觅食的蚂蚁即使在种群密度很高的情况下也能保持平稳移动。最近的一项后续研究发现,它们通常以 3 到 20 只为一组旅行,以稳定的速度移动,彼此之间保持适当的间隙,从不试图超车。)”可知,第三段提到最近的后续研究是为了详细说明蚂蚁如何实现平稳移动。故选 D。
34.词句猜测题。根据第四段中“One key takeaway is to avoid tailgating. Keeping a safe distance from the vehicle ahead helps absorb the shock waves caused by sudden braking in dense traffic — a simple practice that prioritizes the smooth flow of the whole over individual hurry.(其中关键的一点就是避免 tailgating。与前车保持安全距离有助于吸收密集交通中突然刹车产生的冲击波——这是一种优先考虑整体顺畅而非个人匆忙的简单做法。)”可知,与前车保持安全距离可以避免追尾,故 tailgating 意思是“与前车距离太近” 。故选 C。
35 .细节理解题。根据最后一段中“As Katsuhiro Nishinari points out, “Unlike human drivers who often act independently, future self-driving cars could be designed to share real-time data and function as an integrated system.” Inspired by ants, these vehicles can upgrade traffic flow as a
cooperative system, potentially requiring updates to existing regulations to fully realize their
benefits.(正如 Katsuhiro Nishinari 指出的那样,“与经常独立行动的人类驾驶员不同,未来的自动驾驶汽车可以被设计成共享实时数据并作为一个集成系统运行。”受蚂蚁的启发,这些车辆可以作为一个协作系统来升级交通流量,可能需要更新现有法规以充分实现其优势。)”可知,Katsuhiro Nishinari 建议受蚂蚁启发的自动驾驶汽车应采用协作方法。故选 B。

67 . Just at that moment, Luella ’ family returned in their car. Empathy surged within me as I
saw their shock and disbelief. Approaching Luella, I tightly held her hands and said, “I’m so sorry for your loss, but thankfully you’re all right.” She weakly nodded, still puzzled by the shocking
scene. My family volunteered to help clean up the mess, cutting down the branches and removing the fallen trees. To lift Luella’s spirits and give her comfort, I tried my best to cheer her up while tidying the garden with her, during which my own joyful personality seemed to revive a bit.
Even after the debris was cleared, I could still sense Luella ’ sorrow for her lost garden. My
heart went out to her, knowing how much she had cherished those tulips that she had devoted so
much energy to. Determined to restore the beauty of the garden, I suggested we rebuild the
garden, which Luella delightedly agreed. Carefully planted and watered, the new tulip seedlings
once again filled the garden, which symbolized the beginning of our friendship, as well as the
turning that I finally got embraced by this new environment. My mom was right: it’s more blessed to give than to receive because when you give, you may receive something unexpected in return.
