Hope and opportunity are blossoming (绽放) on the South Side of Chicago where a man and his wife have used flowers to help poor communities turn over a new leaf. Running two nonprofits, Southside Blooms and Chicago Eco House, Quilen Blackwell and his wife Hannah Bonham are helping at-risk youth find opportunity.
Blackwell’s work earned him the CNN Hero of the Year Award at the 19th edition of the honor, organized by the cable news outlet with support from corporate sponsors. The award came with a $100,000 prize to expand the Blackwell’s work. Southside Blooms turns vacant lots (空地) on Chicago’s South Side into eco-friendly flower farms, employing local young people to grow, harvest, arrange, and sell flowers at his group’s nonprofit flower shop.
Why flowers When Blackwell, a Wisconsin native, moved to Chicago to attend ministry school, he ended up in Englewood where some 40% of residents live in poverty. Blackwell happened upon an eye-opening figure: that more than 70% of cut flowers bought in the US are imported. Blackwell believed that flowers might be the answer to reconnecting Englewood youth to nature, while at the same time growing something meaningful in between boarded-up shops, abandoned buildings and empty lots.
By 2021, Chicago Eco House had already turned 6 vacant South Side lots into solar-powered farms, with the flowers sold through Southside Blooms.
“A lot of the most beautiful flowers we grow do very well in adverse conditions, and that’s just like the people here.” Blackwell narrated in an interview. Southside Blooms currently employs 25 young people primarily between the ages of 16 and 25. “As long as they’re getting all of the ingredients they need to be successful, there’s nothing that they can’t do,” he said. “Our young people are blossoming every single day.”
Holding the CNN Hero Award in his arms, what Blackwell was keen to communicate was the strength and character of his team: his wife, and the young men and women who make the project possible.
What did the $100,000 prize from the CNN Hero Award mainly go to
A. Supporting the operation of the flower shop
B. Scaling up the eco-friendly flower farm initiative
C. Providing scholarships for local young people
D. Buying advanced farming equipment
25. What inspired Blackwell to start growing flowers in Englewood
A. The substantial import rate of US cut flowers
B. The desire to enhance local residents’ income
C. The potential to reconnect adolescents with nature
D. His academic experience at the ministry school
26. What can be inferred from Blackwell’s words in Paragraph 5
A. Local youth are as tough as flowers in bad conditions.
B. Flowers grown locally are more beautiful than imported ones.
C. The young people here are in need of more learning materials.
D. The local environment has been greatly improved recently.
27. What is the author’s attitude towards Blackwell’s project
A. Dismissive. B. Neutral. C. Supportive. D. Critical.

Could the human brain ever control objects with mind power alone Why do fictional monsters feel so terrifyingly real even when we consciously know they are imaginary These are the questions that scientists and psychologists are exploring as pop culture phenomena like Stranger Things captivate audiences worldwide. Researchers suggest that the science behind the screen might not be as far-fetched as it seems.
In the realm of neuroscience, the concept of mind control—known scientifically as brain-computer interfaces (BCIs)—has made significant leaps. Currently, researchers are developing high-bandwidth transmissions from brain implants to wearable devices. While we cannot yet toss vehicles with our minds like the character Eleven, these advancements promise meaningful ways to connect human minds with technology, offering potential life-changing communication tools for individuals with severe physical disabilities.
But why does the horror in such shows affect us so deeply Dr. Hongmi Lee, an assistant professor of psychological sciences, explains that our brains are wired to prioritize survival. "Even when we consciously know the monsters aren't real, our brains respond as if they are because fear circuits, such as the amygdala, are designed to detect and react to threat cues automatically," Lee says. This reaction happens before rational thought can intrude.
Furthermore, immersive storytelling amplifies this biological effect. Engaging narratives draw viewers into the characters' experiences, activating brain regions involved in memory and emotion. As a result, we do not just watch the fear—we experience it alongside the characters. This psychological connection emphasizes a deeper theme: our social relationships, families, and friendships shape how we process stress and think about ourselves. Ultimately, science shows that whether facing fictional monsters or real-life challenges, strong social connections remain our greatest tool for emotional recovery.
28. What can be inferred about brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) from Paragraph 2
A. They have enabled humans to move large vehicles with mind power.
B. They are currently being used to upgrade high-bandwidth wearable devices.
C. They are being developed to help severely disabled people communicate.
D. They will soon completely cure patients of their severe physical disabilities.
29. According to Dr. Hongmi Lee, we feel deeply terrified by fictional monsters because ________.
A. our brains automatically prioritize survival over rational thought when facing threats
B. our rational thought intervenes before the amygdala can detect any threat cues
C. our brains are unable to consciously distinguish between reality and imagination
D. the fear circuits are wired to prevent humans from watching horror television shows
30. The underlined word “intervene” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. step in B. speed up C. give up D. look back
31. What is the deeper theme emphasized by immersive storytelling in the last paragraph
A. Engaging narratives can fully activate brain regions linked to memory and emotion.
B. Audiences usually experience fear independently rather than alongside characters.
C. Real-life challenges are much more difficult to overcome than fictional monsters.
D. Social relationships play a vital role in how we deal with stress and recover.
D
In an era dominated by rapid technological breakthroughs, generative artificial
intelligence has progressed far beyond a mere tool for automated writing or casual entertainment. Recent cognitive and sociological research highlights a much more troubling trend: the subtle erosion of human collective trust. As AI platforms continuously populate the digital landscape with hyper-realistic synthetic media, our shared understanding of objective historical reality is quietly being rewired, giving rise to what experts call the "liar’s dividend."
The digital environment is currently experiencing severe "epistemic contamination." Because generative AI models are trained on vast internet data, they often internalize human biases and fabricate facts seamlessly—a phenomenon known as "hallucination." When these distorted outputs are republished online, they are re-ingested by newer AI systems, creating a toxic feedback loop. However, the greater danger lies not in the machinery, but in human psychology. When individuals repeatedly encounter AI-generated historical records that appear flawless, their skepticism peaks. Eventually, they begin to reject authentic news altogether, mistaking genuine evidence for synthetic fabrications.
Sociologists warn that this artificial rewriting of historical consensus could dwarf the traditional impacts of political propaganda. Historically, altering collective memory required massive state effort and centralized control. Today, algorithms do it decentralized, whispering tailor-made fabrications to millions simultaneously. If a false historical detail is echoed enough across digital platforms, it eventually fossils into accepted truth, making it nearly impossible for future generations to trace the original historical reality. Consequently, our shared cultural heritage becomes an empty shell, replaced by a fictional consensus.
Ultimately, this cognitive crisis forces us to rethink our absolute reliance on digital infrastructure. The true value of human historical records lies not just in storing sterile data, but in the emotional authenticity that links us to our past. To protect this core aspect of our identity, we must develop a more critical digital literacy. Protecting our collective memory is not just about correcting technical algorithms; it is about safeguarding the very substance of human truth against an automated fog, ensuring that our past remains an authentic performance of human history.
32. According to Paragraph 2, how does "epistemic contamination" affect public cognition
A. It forces developers to re-ingest data into the machinery.
B. It helps individuals spot synthetic fabrications more quickly.
C. It improves the internal records of historical events through a loop.
D. It drives people to doubt genuine information alongside the fake.
33. Why do sociologists consider algorithms more dangerous than traditional propaganda
A. They require massive state efforts to change collective memory.
B. They can spread customized falsehoods to a vast audience seamlessly.
C. They force future generations to trace the original historical reality.
D. They openly challenge the political control over digital infrastructure.
34. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Correcting technical algorithms is sufficient to maintain digital safety.
B. The emotional authenticity of our history cannot be fully copied by AI.
C. Future generations will entirely abandon digital infrastructure.
D. Critical digital literacy will prevent AI from generating synthetic data.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Generative AI: A Perfect Tool to Trace Historical Reality
B. Data Contamination: Why Human Brains Refuse to Learn New Tech
C. The Death of Trust: How AI’s Automated Fog Rewrites Human History
D. Digital Infrastructure: The Bright Future of Virtual Performance

The Healing Power of the Soil
A year ago, faced with mounting academic pressure and overwhelming personal challenges, I found my psychological burden becoming too heavy to bear. My mind was constantly racing, and I desperately needed a reliable way to relieve my anxiety and ease the daily tension. That was when my grandfather handed me a rusty shovel and pointed toward a neglected, weed-filled corner of our backyard. He didn't say much, but his simple advice changed my life: "Let diligent labor heal you."
At first, engaging in this practical manual work felt like a punishment. My hands grew blistered, and my muscles ached after hours of digging. ___36___ However, as the days turned into weeks, a profound transformation took place within me. I began to look forward to the early mornings in the garden. I realized that the value of labor lies not only in tangible outcomes but also in the resilience and sense of purpose it fosters. The rhythmic act of planting seeds became my unique form of emotional regulation.
___37___ I meticulously cared for every delicate sprout, ensuring they received the right amount of water, nutrition, and protection. Whenever unexpected heavy rains or pests threatened my tiny ecosystem, I learned to cope with these setbacks rationally instead of giving up in frustration. Gardening taught me supreme craftsmanship; you cannot rush a flower to bloom, nor can you ignore the details.
___38___ This hands-on experience also deeply reshaped my perspective on life itself. Watching a tiny, vulnerable seed push through the dark, heavy soil to find the sunlight forced me to cherish the sanctity of life. I came to understand that difficulties are just like the dark soil—essential for deep growth. ___39___ My grades gradually improved as my mindset shifted from anxious to optimistic and proactive.
Now, my backyard corner is no longer a forgotten plot, but a thriving, green sanctuary. Through this diligent labor, I have not only built up a strong inner resilience but also discovered my own life's purpose. As young generations, maintaining psychological well-being is our greatest treasure. ___40___ Diligence is indeed the foundation of happiness, and a sound mind in a sound body is what we truly gain from embracing the earth.
A. I wondered if physical work could distract me from my pressure.
B. Only by respecting labor can we embrace a more promising future.
C. Cultivating the garden gradually helped me cultivate a sound mind.
D. In this quiet corner, I began to strive for perfection in every detail.
E. I often questioned why I was wasting my time on such hard work.
F. This newfound inner strength allowed me to face my academic stress with ease.
G. Tending the garden gradually helped me forget all my past troubles and worries.

“I don’t think we can afford it right now. Maybe it will go on sale after Christmas,” said my mom.
“It’s okay, I can make my pea coat last one more winter.”
I didn’t mean to overhear my parents’ conversation, but we lived in a small house.
I was about seven years old and the third of four children. Christmas was coming and we were getting excited about what might be under the tree for us. Hearing my dad talk about making do with his coat, though, made me a little sad.
Dad had worn the blue wool coat for as long as I could remember. I am ashamed to say I remember being embarrassed when he wore that coat. The wool had been patched in spots and I can’t remember how many times my mom sewed on the buttons with the anchors on them. He needed a new coat, but I’d never thought about how much it would cost – or how often my parents made sacrifices like this so we children could have the clothes or shoes we needed or, in this case, some presents under the Christmas tree.
Earlier that day, my parents had gone shopping and he’d seen a winter jacket that he really liked. It was a heavyweight green and black plaid wool. He felt it was the coat for him, but then he saw the price. It was far more expensive than their budget would allow. It was a daily struggle just to pay the bills and feed and clothe four children.
It was only a week or so later when Dad was on his way home from work, he saw a large red gift box in the middle of a crossing. He pulled over and went to get it. Having waited about twenty minutes in vain, he carried the box to his car and went home. My father brought the mysterious red box into our living room. "I found it in the middle of a crossing," he said, brushing snow from his old coat. We all gathered around the box, guessing what it would be in the box. After a thoughtful silence, Mom gently suggested we look inside, not for the gift, but for an owner.
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。
Para1：Inside was a fine winter coat, along with a receipt with a phone number.
Para 2：Dad called the number on the receipt immediately.参考答案
