At a summer camp in a Southern California suburb, the grandmas were in charge. Every week, they taught a group of 8to14year olds life skills like how to cook and sew (缝制). “Loneliness is something that seniors are challenged with, and they love having younger people around them,” said Zainab Hussain, a program manager at Olive Community Services, a nonprofit that hosted the camp to bring teens and elderly adults together.
In the camp, a small room was filled with energy as the kids chatted and chewed on snacks. Some grandmas were around and watched, content to just be around the youngsters.
Haqiqah Abdul Rahim, one of the grandmas serving as the instructor for sewing, said many kids don’t learn these skills at school, so they’re filling in a gap. She stood in front of the room at the start of the activity, holding up various tools and explaining what they were. Rahim also didn’t get to spend a lot of time with her grandchildren because they didn’t live close. “It is heartwarming to be able to interact with those who love being around you,” Rahim said.
The summer camp was held in partnership with the Golden Connections Club, started by14yearold high school student Leena Albinali. She lived with her grandma but realized other students didn't have the same opportunity to spend as much time with their grandparents. She also learned about ageism (年龄歧视) and other challenges faced by senior adults in one of her classes.
“They treat us like we’re their grandchildren,” Albinali said.“ We share what we know about artificial intelligence and its impact on our lives, and the elders share their life stories and advice. One of the most important things they’ve shared with me is to live in the moment, something that’s taken on new meaning for me — The people we have right now are not going to be with us forever.”
4. What is the purpose of the summer camp
A．To teach kids life skills.
B．To help seniors fight loneliness.
C．To connect generations.
D．To educate kids to respect seniors.

D．It reminds her to contact her grandchildren.
6. What inspired Albinali to set up Golden Connections Club
A．Her school’s support.
B．Her own experience.
C．Seniors’ common voice.
D．Ageism her grandma got.
7. What message does Albinali want to convey in the last paragraph
A．The shared challenges facing generations.
B．The curiosity of seniors about technology.
C．The wisdom of the seniors’ life experience.
D．The enriching exchange across generations.

Since Glacier (冰川) National Park's creation, it has represented the spiritual treasure ofAmericans with its breathtaking landscapes. But today, climate warming threatens the very emblem of the park, leaving it facing a future in which its name could be cruel ironies(讽刺).
Deep within Glacier National Park, visitors are now met with an amazing sight: a peaceful lake of pale blue water lying among towering peaks. Beautiful as it is, the very presence of this lake is not desired by people. Just a few decades ago, this landscape was entirely frozen. Now the glacier itself is reduced to taking up a small area, sheltered from theSun at the edge of the lake created through its own melting(融化).
The park has already lost 60 percent of its namesake glaciers since the 1850s, and scientists predict their complete disappearance by the century's end. Families from all over theUS and abroad flood to these natural wonders to create memories that will last.
Conserving the national park is one of the rare issues that brings political opponents together in the US. With tens of millions of visitors to these sites every year, it is also an economic necessity. The US government recently announced considerable funds to help. This has issued a challenge to the identity of National Park Service, a US agency brought into existence by a 1916 law that called for the preservation of those treasured sites pristine(处于原始状态的) for the enjoyment of future generations.
“ But it's now pretty clear that it's not achievable in many places,” admits John Gross, an ecologist with the National Park Service climate change response program.“ It's certainly possible that the park could lose the iconic feature for which it has been named.”
The climate crisis has thus brought about a shift in the organization's philosophy: It's acceptable to change a park's natural state to stop its further worsening.
8. What does the underlined word “emblem” in paragraph 1 mean
A．Symbol.
B．Location.
C．Recovery.
D．Construction.
9. Why is the new lake in the park mentioned
A．To highlight the economic value of the park.
B．To serve as evidence of the warming climate.
C．To explain the process of glacier formation.
D．To describe a new popular tourist attraction.
10. What can be learned about the National Park Service
A．It mainly allows for economic benefits.
B．It shows confidence in restoring the park.
C．It is forced to adjust its protection principle.
D．It is taking measures to limit visitor numbers.
11. Which can be the best title for the text
A．A New Idea for Park Conservation
B．A Park Is Economically on Thin Ice
C．A Political Agreement on Renaming a Park
D．A Park Might Be at Risk of Redefining Itself
D
Tens of thousands of people bleed to death each year before they can get to a hospital. That’s because ambulances can’t routinely carry blood, which would fail to work without sufficient refrigeration. So scientists have been on a quest to develop artificial blood that could be stored in powdered (粉状的) form and could be mixed with water on the spot to save lives.
Some of this research is being conducted at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore. Allan Doctor’s team makes artificial blood from hemoglobin (血红蛋白). The researchers obtain hemoglobin from outdated blood and enclose it in a bubble (泡) of fat, essentially creating artificial red blood cells (细胞) for use.
This protective bubble is the innovation that Allan thinks will solve the safety problems caused by other attempts at making artificial blood. Other efforts also used hemoglobin, but protected hemoglobin can be poisonous to organs (器官). “We have to hide the hemoglobin inside a cell. It’s an artificial cell that makes it safe and effective,” Allan says.
The scientists then freezedry the artificial red blood cells into a powder that can stay good until an emergency. It’s designed so that at the moment it’s needed, medics can mix it with water and within a minute they have blood. It has a long shelf life for years, and it can be easily transported.
looks safe and effective. While the results so far seem positive, Allan says he still needs to prove that his artificial blood would be safe and effective for people.
“I think it’s a reasonable approach,” says Tim Estep, a scientist who consults with companies developing artificial blood.“But because this field has been so challenging, the proof will be in the clinical trials,” he adds.“While I'm overall optimistic, placing a bet on any one technology right now is overall difficult.”
12. Why do scientists develop artificial blood
A．To save the space of ambulances.
B．To replace the outdated blood.
C．To save those who bleed heavily.
D．To deal with blood storage issue.
13. What is the function of bubble of fat to hemoglobin
A．To speed up its reproduction.
B．To remove its harm to organs.
C．To keep it from forming cells.
D．To make its freezedrying easy.
14. What highlights the powdered artificial blood
A．It won’t go bad easily.
B．It functions without water.
C．It produces rapid effects.
D．It cuts down patients’ costs.
15. What is Tim Estep’s attitude towards Allan’s artificial blood
A．Supportive.
B．Doubtful.
C．Careful.
D．Curious.
二、七选五
It is important to be mindful of your body language during a job interview. However, body language can be a bit hard to control in a virtual setting. Here are some tips to help you perform well in a video interview.
___16___ This simple action shows that you’re fully focused in the interaction, helping to build a connection much like inperson conversations. If your eyes wander away to something else in your environment, your interviewer might assume that you are distracted. Staring at a tiny dot instead of someone’s face might feel strange, but what truly matters is how you come across to the person on the other side of the screen.
Mind your facial expressions. ___17___ Use it during introductions or when responding to lighthearted moments. It conveys enthusiasm and makes you appear more friendly and welcoming. ___18___ For instance, show confidence and enthusiasm when talking about your accomplishments, and maintain a thoughtful look when answering tough questions.
Pay attention to your posture (姿势). The key is to change between sitting upright and leaning in throughout the interview. ___19___ For example, when the interviewer shares key details about the role or company, a slight lean forward signals heightened interest and attentiveness. If you lean back in your chair, it can give off the impression that you’ re really thrown into the conversation.
Use natural hand gestures. After establishing confident eye contact and maintaining an open posture, adding natural hand gestures can not only get your points across but also convey enthusiasm and boost confidence during virtual interviews. Interestingly, research suggests that hand movements can even aid memory and language recall, making you a better storyteller during interviews. Remember to strike a balance. ___20___
A．Look directly into the camera.
B．Keep gestures visible on camera.
C．Let your expressions naturally match your words.
D．Your hand movements shouldn’t draw too much attention.
E．A warm smile can go a long way in setting a positive tone.
F．What your body is saying is as much as what you’ re actually saying.
G．This variation shows you’ re responding to the flow of the conversation.

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。
Recently, my work has been incredibly overwhelming — the constant deadlines, endless meetings, and high expectations are really wearing me down, making me lost in life. It’s hard to quiet my mind to focus on anything else. I knew I needed to find a way to manage these emotions before things got worse. I decided to go hiking in a forest near my city to escape from all those that stressed me.
I packed my backpack carefully, making sure I had everything I needed — water, some snacks, and sunscreen to protect my skin from the sun. With everything prepared, I set off, ready for a little adventure.
The forest was more beautiful than I had imagined. Tall, ancient trees stretched high above me, their leaves forming a green roof that let in patches of sunlight. Colorful wildflowers dotted the ground, and the air smelled fresh and earthy. Birds sang sweetly from the branches, and the sound of rustling leaves made the forest feel alive. The peacefulness of nature calmed me down.
I followed a narrow, winding path with fewer hikers, enjoying every moment. The deeper I went, the more magical everything seemed. I was so busy looking at the trees and listening to the birds that I didn’t pay attention to where I was going. Suddenly, I stopped. The trees around me looked strange — different from the ones I had passed earlier. My heart skipped a beat. Obviously, I was lost in nature, just like I was in my life.
The sun was beginning to set, painting the sky in shades of orange and pink. I knew I had to find my way back before it got dark. I tried to remember which direction I had come from, but the forest was like a giant maze (迷宫). Every path I took seemed to lead me in circles. The trees all looked the same.
注意：
(1) 续写词数应为150 个左右；
(2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As it was becoming dark, I realized how serious my situation was.

The Power of a Daily Habit
I have kept reading for half an hour every day for several years. Whenever I finish my daily tasks, I will pick up a book to read.
Reading brings me huge benefits. It broadens my horizons and enriches my mind. Besides, it helps me relax when I feel stressed. Gradually, I become more patient and open minded. Good habits make a big difference to our life. I will stick to this habit in the future.
读后续写范文
As it was becoming dark, I realized how serious my situation was. Cold wind blew through the woods. My water was running out and I felt tired and frightened. I shouted for help repeatedly, but no reply came. Panic filled my heart. I sat on a stone, thinking about my heavy work pressure. At that moment, I regretted going hiking without marking my path. I feared I would spend the whole night in the frightening forest.
Just as I was feeling hopeless, I spotted a faint (微弱的) light in the distance. Full of hope, I struggled towards the light. It turned out to be a small wooden house. An old hiker lived there. He offered me water and food. Knowing I got lost, he guided me out of the forest safely. This special experience taught me not only to value safety but also to face pressure bravely.
