When I was a boy growing up in the 1970’s and 1980’s, it was common to see hitchhikers walking along the side of the road as you drove along. A lot of people back then couldn’t afford cars so they either walked or hitched a ride when they had to go into town. As I got older, though, I noticed them less and less. That is until recently. It seems the difficulties of life these days are leaving a lot more people with only their legs for transportation.
Well, the other day I was driving home after picking up a few things from the store. I was in a sour state of mind. I had been watching too much news and listening to too little music. I had been worrying too much and not reflecting enough. I was starting to wonder if there was anything I could do to make a difference in this crazy world, if anything I did even mattered.
It was then that I saw her, a middle-aged woman loaded down with shopping bags on the side of the road, hoping to hitch a ride. I pulled over to the side of the road and let her in. She was traveling a bit out of my way but I decided to give her a ride all the way home. She told me how hard things had been for her lately and that she’d had to sell her car. Then when I pulled into her driveway, she smiled and thanked me for the ride. I drove away smiling too and as I did I heard a soft, gentle voice speaking into the depths of my heart. “Everything you do in this life makes a difference. You matter!”
I thanked the warmth of life for giving me a chance to do an act of kindness. And I thanked this joy for sweetening my sour state of mind and for returning joy to my soul again.

Planting trees has plenty of benefits, but this popular carbon-removal method alone can’t possibly balance out the planet-warming emissions caused by the world’s largest fossil fuel companies. To do that, trees would have to cover the entire land mass of North and Central America, according to a study published this June.
After looking at the numbers, researchers found that the trees’ collective ability to remove carbon through photosynthesis can’t stand up to the potential emissions from the fossil fuel reserves of the 200 largest oil, gas and coal fuel companies — there’s not enough available land on Earth to do that. And even if there were, if those 200 companies had to pay for planting all those trees, it would cost 10.8 trillion， more than their entire combined market value of 7.01 trillion. The general public maybe understands offsetting to be a sort of magic eraser, and that’s just not where we’re at,” said Nina Friggens, a research fellow at the University of Exeter who co-authored the study.
Carbon offsetting essentially means investing in tree planting or other environmental projects to attempt to make up for carbon emissions. Trees are one of the cheapest ways to do this because they naturally take in planet-warming carbon. Fossil fuel corporations, along with other companies, have promoted tree-planting as a key part of carbon offset programs in recent years. To do their calculations, the researchers looked at the 200 largest fossil fuel reserves — the fuel that companies promise shareholders they can get in the future — and calculated how much carbon dioxide would be released if this fuel is burned.
Leading environmental scientist Jonathan Foley, who was not involved in the study, explained the results another way. “Trees are the sponges and mops we use to clean up the mess,” he said. “But if the taps are still running and the water’s pouring out over the edges of your bathtub, destroying your bathroom and your home, maybe you’ve got to learn to turn off the taps too.”
8. What does the study say about planting trees alone
A．It can fully balance fossil fuel emissions.
B．It costs less than $7.01 trillion for 200 companies.
C．It needs land as large as both North and Central America.
D．It is more effective than other carbon-removal methods.
9. Why do fossil fuel companies promote tree-planting
A．It is a key part of their profit plans.
B．It helps them reduce tax payments.
C．They are eager to participate in programs.
D．It is the cheapest way to make up for carbon emissions.
10. What does Jonathan Foley imply by mentioning “turn off the taps”
A．We should stop using fossil fuels.
B．Fossil fuel emissions need to be reduced.
C．More trees should be planted.
D．Bathrooms should be protected from water damage.
11. What is the text mainly about
A．The benefits of tree-planting for the environment.
B．Different opinions on environmental protection methods.
C．A study on the limits of tree-planting in carbon offsetting.
D．How fossil fuel companies reduce their carbon emissions.

OpenAI has released GPT-5, more than two years after the 2023 release of GPT-4, closing a period of intense commercial investment and worry over AI’s capabilities.
Expectations are high for the newest version of OpenAI’s chatbot because the San Francisco company has long positioned its technical advancements as a path toward artificial general intelligence, or AGI, a technology that is supposed to transcend humans at economically valuable work with higher efficiency and accuracy than human professionals.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman described the new model as a “significant step along our path to AGI” but mostly focused on its usability to the 700 million people he says that use ChatGPT each week. “It’s like talking to an expert — an actual PhD-level expert in anything, any area you need, on demand,” Altman said at a launch event on August 7.
Ahead of time, rival Anthropic released the latest version of its own chatbot, Claude, earlier in the week. Meanwhile, longtime OpenAI partner Microsoft said it will incorporate GPT-5 into its own AI assistant, Copilot.
GPT-5 is now available, with usage limits, to anyone with a free ChatGPT account. The launch event focused heavily on ChatGPT’s use in coding, an area where Anthropic is seen as a leader, and featured a guest appearance by the CEO of coding software maker Cursor, an important Anthropic customer. OpenAI’s presenters also spent time talking about safety improvements to make the chatbot “lies less” and not give harmful answers even when people try tricky questions.
At a technical level, GPT-5 shows “modest but significant improvements” on the latest benchmarks, but when compared to GPT-4, it also looks very different and could set the stage for future innovations, said John Thickstun, an assistant professor of computer science at Cornell University.
OpenAI started in 2015 as a nonprofit research laboratory to safely build AGI and has since incorporated a for-profit company with an estimated worth that has grown to $300 billion. This makes it one of the world’s most valuable private companies, although it has not yet reported making a profit.
12. Why are hopes for GPT-5 high
A．It will bring large profits.
B．It is OpenAI’s last developed AI chatbot.
C．It has seen large commercial investment.
D．It has long been viewed by OpenAI as a path to AGI.
13. What does the word “transcend” in paragraph 2 most probably mean
A．Go beyond.
B．Tie with.
C．Rely on.
D．Turn into.
14. What did OpenAI mainly highlight about GPT-5 at the launch event
A．Its lower price for students.
B．Its free access for all users.
C．Its value as a coding assistant.
D．Its partnership with Microsoft.
15. What is John Thickstun’s attitude toward GPT-5
A．Critical.
B．Positive.
C．Uncertain.
D．Unconcerned.

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。
It had been some time since Jack last saw Mr. Belser. College, career, and life itself got in the way. In fact, Jack moved clear across the country in pursuit of his dreams. There, in the rush of his busy life, Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son.
Over the phone, his mother told him, “Mr. Belser died last night. The funeral is Wednesday.” Memories flashed through his mind like an old news film as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days. “Jack, did you hear me ” “Oh, sorry, Mom. Yes, I heard you. It’s been so long since I thought of the old man. I’m sorry, but I honestly thought he died years ago,” Jack said.
“Well, he didn’t forget you. He’d often ask about you and reminisce about the days you spent together.” Mom told him. “I loved that old house he lived in,” Jack said. “After your father died, Mr. Belser stepped in to make sure you had a man’s influence in your life,” she said. “He’s the one who taught me carpentry,” Jack said. “I wouldn’t be in the business if it weren’t for him. He spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought were important.” Once, when I rushed through a birdhouse to play, he said, “Jack, good work takes time, and good company is worth every minute.” “Mom, I’ll be there for the funeral,” he added.
Busy as he was, he kept his word. After the funeral, the night before returning home, Jack and his mom stopped by to see Mr. Belser’s house one more time. Standing in the doorway, Jack paused for a moment. It was like crossing over into another dimension, a leap through space and time. The house remained unchanged. Every step held memories. Every picture, every piece of furniture...Jack stopped suddenly. “The box is gone,” he said. There was a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his desk. I must have asked him a thousand times what was inside. All he’d ever tell me was “the thing I value most.”

Jack turned to his mom, confusion written all over his face.

Holding the gold pocket watch, Jack carefully opened the envelope inside the old small package.

Protect Green Plants on Campus
Last weekend, the Student Union organized an activity called Protect Green Plants on Campus.
Participants gathered at the school gate first. We pulled out weeds around plants, watered flowers and trees, and hung environmental protection slogans to remind students not to pick flowers or trample grass.
This activity made me realize plants are important to our campus. It also taught us everyone should take responsibility to protect our green campus environment.

Jack turned to his mom, confusion written all over his face. His mom explained that before Mr. Belser passed away, he had asked his lawyer to send the gold box to Jack. Several days later, a parcel arrived. Jack opened it and found a delicate gold pocket watch inside, together with an envelope.
Holding the gold pocket watch, Jack carefully opened the envelope inside the old small package. Mr. Belser’s handwriting appeared before his eyes. He wrote that the watch reminded him of their happy time together and hoped Jack could slow down from his busy work to accompany his family. Jack was deeply touched. He finally understood the true meaning of the words “good company is worth every minute”. From then on, he spared more time staying with his wife and son.
