Growing up in a small village in southern Ghana, Osei Boateng witnessed his family and neighbors struggle to access basic health care. For many villagers, the nearest hospital was a several-hour journey on rough roads. His grandmother’s death from a preventable illness deeply saddened him and fueled his desire to make a difference.
Ghana faces significant health challenges: with a life expectancy of about 64, the country sees high death rates from treatable diseases like malaria and stroke. Determined to address this issue, Boateng studied diligently and earned a scholarship to Cornell University in the US, where he completed a master’s degree in Healthcare Administration.
During his studies, he realized that his homeland lacked two critical things: health education and preventive care. Villagers were too busy making a living to travel to hospitals for regular check-ups. Early screening was rare, and many were unaware of the deadly risks posed by conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes (糖尿病).
In 2021, Boateng founded the OKB Hope Foundation and transformed a van (厢式货车) into a mobile medical clinic. Several times a week, a team of professional medical workers travels to remote villages, offering free health check-ups, basic medical tests, and essential medicines. To date, the van has served over 4,000 people across more than 45 rural communities.
Boateng’s team has also trained 20 local volunteers to collect health data, ensuring continuous monitoring of villagers’ well-being. Beyond physical health, he has launched a mental health program to reduce the symptom around depression and provide much-needed emotional support. For Boateng, bringing life-saving care to those in need has become the most meaningful part of his life.
His remarkable efforts have gained widespread recognition, including the 2025 Global Citizen Waislitz Grand Prize. So far, the OKB Hope Foundation has served over 15,000 people in more than 100 remote communities in Ghana. Boateng’s work has not only saved lives but also shifted people’s healthcare mindset — from seeking treatment only when ill to hugging proactive prevention. He stands as an inspiring example of turning personal grief (悲痛) into lasting good for one’s nation.
4. Why did Boateng choose to study healthcare administration
A. To secure a well- paid career in the United States.
B. To become a professional expert in medical fields.
C. To help solve health problems in his homeland.
D. To seek an effective cure for some rare diseases.
5. What prevented villagers from receiving early health screenings
A. Being too occupied with supporting their family.
B. Suffering shortages of local medical equipment.
C. Knowing nothing about screening appointments.
D. Lacking knowledge of dangerous health conditions.
6. What can we learn about Boateng’s mobile medical clinic
A. It provides free medical services for rural residents.
B. It was first donated by the OKB Hope Foundation.
C. It mainly focuses on treating those serious diseases.
D. It has expanded its services to other African countries.
7. What is Boateng’s greatest influence on his nation
A. His innovative healthcare ideas.
B. His inspiring and exemplary role.
C. His unbelievable personal efforts.
D. His heartfelt devotion to his work.

Scientists have long known that small marine creatures can attach to plastic debris (碎片). After Japan’s massive 2011 tsunami, some marine animals even crossed the Pacific Ocean on floating waste. However, a study published in Nature Ecology & Evolution has revealed two alarming findings. First, plastic enables coastal organisms to prosper far from their natural habitats. Second, these coastal species are reproducing successfully in these distant offshore areas.
Researchers inspected over 100 pieces of plastic collected from an ocean garbage piece, where ocean currents trap 79,000 tons of waste. They identified 484 marine organisms belonging to various species. About 70% of the plastic pieces hosted at least one type of coastal organism — far more than initially expected. More surprisingly, two-thirds of the debris had both coastal and open-sea species living together. Plastic is not merely a carrier of life; it is forming unnatural groups that researchers term “novel ocean communities”
“We are witnessing coastal and native open-ocean organisms coexisting on plastic,” says lead researcher Linsey Haram. “Human activity is essentially creating new ecological groups in the open ocean.”
These mixed communities may pose significant risks to native marine ecosystems. Coastal creatures could compete with local species for space and food, or even feed on them. Scientists observed coastal organisms reproducing: some guarding their eggs, while others were cloning themselves. This indicates that these coastal species may establish permanent populations in the open ocean.
The danger spreads globally. Plastic debris can be carried to remote beaches, where non-native species might take root. “If a species can reproduce, it can spread. If it can spread, it can invade (入侵),” notes marine expert Linda Amaral-Zettler. This invasion could disrupt the balance of local ocean ecosystems and push native species toward danger.
The study uncovers a hidden impact of plastic pollution — beyond the well-known harm to fish and seabirds. “We already know a great deal about animals getting stuck in plastic,” Haram says. “This research adds an unforeseen effect, urging us to reduce plastic waste urgently. Once plastic enters the open ocean, it’s nearly impossible to reverse (逆转) the damage.”
8. Which of the following can be concluded from the study results
A. Plastic is marine species’ main habitat.
B. Coastal organisms on plastic surprise us.
C. Open-sea species can adapt better to plastic.
D. Coastal organisms fail to reproduce naturally.
9. What can be inferred about the “novel ocean communities” from the text
A. They will spread worldwide.
B. They form naturally in the ocean.
C. They will disappear with less plastic.
D. They may threaten native species.
10. What does the underlined word “disrupt” in Paragraph 5 mean
A. Maintain. B. Improve. C. Restore. D. Destroy.
11. What is known about plastic pollution before the study
A. It assists coastal life to survive.
B. It enables organisms to prosper.
C. It traps and harms sea creatures.
D. It creates novel ecological groups.
D
The past year has witnessed plenty of AI news, some exciting and others worrying, focusing on job losses, oversimplified music creation and lost creativity. However, such a view, I think, is overly dramatic and misguided. Far from weakening education, AI makes it more essential, particularly for music education.
History presents similar lessons. Radio was once thought to wipe out live musical performances. Electronic instruments were predicted to replace traditional music groups. TV and the internet were said to make teachers unnecessary in classrooms. Yet none of these predictions have stood the test of time. Technology creates new avenues (途径) for human expression, rather than robbing us of our humanity and creative essence.
Music education develops the core skills today’s students need most: creativity, teamwork, adaptability, empathy, and understanding complex ideas. These are essential for modern workplace success with AI widely applied. While AI outshines humans in pattern recognition and fast task completion, it lacks intentional creation, emotional connection, or genuine human cooperation. These are the areas where humans outperform AI, and musicians stand out in mastering such skills.
Students develop creativity by polishing musical phrases in practice. They build teamwork skills in group sessions, where active listening and non-verbal (非语言的) communication play a vital role. They develop adaptability by adjusting to conductors and different venues. These practical abilities link closely to creative tech careers and human-AI cooperation in various fields.
Educator Nick Foster proposes a balanced approach to AI in music education: use AI to design personalized practice and accompaniments, develop tools supporting teachers not replacing them, explore student-AI cooperation for music arrangement, and avoid over-reliance on technology replacing human interaction in music-making.
In the AI age, creativity and empathy are more crucial than ever. Music education remains an irreplaceable part of education — we need more musicians, teachers and opportunities to share musical joy, something no advanced technology can replace.
12. What can we infer from Paragraph 2
A. Past technology worries are unfounded.
B. Electronic instruments are irreplaceable.
C. Technology weakens human creativity.
D. The Internet exceeds classroom teachers.
13. How do humans gain an advantage over AI
A. By processing information rapidly.
B. By recognizing patterns effectively.
C. By mastering information exchange skills.
D. By using creative and emotional abilities.
14. What’s Nick Foster’s attitude to AI in music education
A. AI helps rather than replaces teachers.
B. AI has no equal in music arrangement.
C. AI should be strictly restricted.
D. AI should not be depended on.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. AI: A Big Challenge to Music Education
B. Music Education: Irreplaceable in the AI Age
C. Technology: New Ways for Human Expression
D. Human-AI Cooperation: The Future of Music Creation

Handwriting vs Typing: A Brain Perspective
Nowadays, typing has become a common way for students to take notes and record ideas in class and in daily life. ____16____ It is faster, more convenient, and easier to keep organized in digital form. Many people fully depend on typing without thinking about its hidden influences. But does this efficient way really help with learning and memory
Compared with typing, handwriting affects our brain in deeper and more special ways. ____17____ This careful and patient process leads to better understanding and stronger, longer-lasting memories, which are key to effective learning.
Our dominant hand also provides clues about how the brain works. About 90 percent of people are right-handed. ____18____ Studies show that left-handed and ambidextrous (双手都灵巧的) people often have more balanced brain activity. Their language and positional skills are spread across both halves of the brain, which supports different thinking abilities.
____19____ The first reason is that it requires many brain systems to work together. When writing by hand, we use fine motor skills, language processing, visual-positional ability, and focused attention at the same time. This joint activity creates strong connections in the brain and greatly improves memory and comprehension.
A 2014 study clearly showed the benefits of handwriting. Students who took notes by hand could process information in their own words. ____20____ Another study added that only hand-writing created strong brain connectivity linked to memory formation, while typing did not have this effect.
In daily life, we can choose to take notes by hand when facing difficult knowledge or keep a short handwritten journal. Over time, this small change will improve our attention, learning ability, and cognitive (认知) health.
A. Why does handwriting influence the brain so differently
B. It makes us think more carefully and organize ideas better.
C. Most people choose typing mainly for its speed and convenience.
D. They performed much better on understanding and memory tests later.
E. Some students can type very quickly when teachers are speaking in class.
F. Why do so many students still prefer typing to handwriting in daily study
G. Left-handed and two-handed people show different brain organization patterns.

At the same time, he begged me not to ____29____ his teammates, which struck me deeply.
I smiled and patted him gently on the shoulder to _____30_____ his tension. I explained that it was ____31____ an innocent error and that I felt no anger at all. We then had a long ____32____ about the challenges and expectations of their project, and he gradually ____33____.
When he left my office, all signs of ____34____ had faded away. He stepped out with a broad smile and steady steps, appearing delighted and ____35____ I could see he had regained his courage to face the project and his teammates with a lighter heart.

Laurent Raymond, a 62-year-old sailing lover, was sailing alone off the coast of northwestern Spain. He was trying to qualify for the Route du Rhum, a famous long-distance sailing race called the “Everest of sailing”. He had trained hard for months to become strong and balanced, so he could face unexpected difficulties at sea. One stormy night, after sailing for over 12 hours, he stopped to rest. Suddenly, a huge wave strongly hit his boat Jeanne.
The boat’s keel (龙骨) broke, and Jeanne turned upside down in seconds. Raymond hurried down to the lower part of the boat just in time, but water kept rushing in. His glasses and electronic equipment were broken. He put on his red life-saving suit, sent out an SOS signal, and waited in the small air capsule. The Spanish coast guard received his signal at once and sent ships and helicopters. However, the terrible weather made a night rescue too dangerous. Rescuers had to wait until morning, leaving Raymond alone in the cold, dark sea.
Meanwhile, Raymond’s wife Alice got the terrible news that his boat had turned over and his chance of survival was almost zero. She was very sad and stayed awake all night, taking care of their young daughter and trying to be brave. Though worried, Alice chose to trust her husband’s strong will. Raymond’s brother also encouraged her, saying he would fight to the end and never give up.
Trapped in the water-filled boat, Raymond fought against cold, tiredness and fear. The smell of gas hurt his skin and eyes, and his air capsule became smaller and smaller. To stay alive, he held safety handles to keep warm. Memories of his warm family gave him the strength to hold on. When morning came, the sea calmed down. Divers found the overturned boat and were greatly surprised to hear his voice. Broken wood and wires blocked the door, so they began to clear a path carefully.
注意：（1）续写词数应为150个左右；（2）请按如下格式作答。
After hours of hard work, the divers finally cleared a safe path to the boat door.

As soon as Raymond was lifted onto the helicopter, he asked to call his wife at once.

Stop Food Waste, Cherish Every Bite
Recently, I have observed an alarming phenomenon in our school canteen. Some students order far more food than they can consume. Plates are often left with large amounts of uneaten dishes, whether it’s rice, vegetables or meat. Even some freshly-served food is discarded without a second thought.
Food waste not only means a waste of resources but also shows a lack of respect for the hard work of farmers. We should always bear in mind that every grain is the fruit of hard labor. Let’s start from ourselves, order food rationally, and cherish every bite on our plates. Only in this way can we put an end to food waste in our school.

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。
Laurent Raymond, a 62-year-old sailing lover, was sailing alone off the coast of northwestern Spain. He was trying to qualify for the Route du Rhum, a famous long-distance sailing race called the “Everest of sailing”. He had trained hard for months to become strong and balanced, so he could face unexpected difficulties at sea. One stormy night, after sailing for over 12 hours, he stopped to rest. Suddenly, a huge wave strongly hit his boat Jeanne.
The boat’s keel (龙骨) broke, and Jeanne turned upside down in seconds. Raymond hurried down to the lower part of the boat just in time, but water kept rushing in. His glasses and electronic equipment were broken. He put on his red life-saving suit, sent out an SOS signal, and waited in the small air capsule. The Spanish coast guard received his signal at once and sent ships and helicopters. However, the terrible weather made a night rescue too dangerous. Rescuers had to wait until morning, leaving Raymond alone in the cold, dark sea.
Meanwhile, Raymond’s wife Alice got the terrible news that his boat had turned over and his chance of survival was almost zero. She was very sad and stayed awake all night, taking care of their young daughter and trying to be brave. Though worried, Alice chose to trust her husband’s strong will. Raymond’s brother also encouraged her, saying he would fight to the end and never give up.
Trapped in the water-filled boat, Raymond fought against cold, tiredness and fear. The smell of gas hurt his skin and eyes, and his air capsule became smaller and smaller. To stay alive, he held safety handles to keep warm. Memories of his warm family gave him the strength to hold on. When morning came, the sea calmed down. Divers found the overturned boat and were greatly surprised to hear his voice. Broken wood and wires blocked the door, so they began to clear a path carefully.
注意：（1）续写词数应为150个左右；（2）请按如下格式作答。
After hours of hard work, the divers finally cleared a safe path to the boat door.

As soon as Raymond was lifted onto the helicopter, he asked to call his wife at once.

【参考范文】
After hours of hard work, the divers finally cleared a safe path to the boat door. They opened it slowly, and there was Raymond, pale but with a determined look in his eyes. They carefully helped him out of the damaged boat. The fresh air hit his face as he was hoisted up to the waiting helicopter. He felt a rush of relief, but also a deep sense of gratitude towards the divers who had risked their lives to save him.
As soon as Raymond was lifted onto the helicopter, he asked to call his wife at once. With the phone in his hand, he couldn't wait to hear her voice. When Alice picked up, he said, “Honey, I'm okay. I made it through.” Alice burst into tears of joy on the other end of the line. Raymond told her how much he missed her and their daughter, and how the thought of them had kept him going. He realized that life was more precious than any sailing race, and his family was his true strength.
