The perfect1 of someone who knows this well enough is 70-year-old grandmother, Pat Smith.2 with bags, rubber gloves and a rubbish picker, she spent an entire year3 rubbish and caring for 52 British beaches after she made it her New Year's resolution (决心) to4 one beach each week. She5 spent her Christmas day picking up plastic bottles on Trevone Beach.
During her year-long cleanup, Smith was often6 by other volunteers, including her grandchildren, who were determined to help her tidy up beach rubbish. However, some people often7 Smith for doing community service, and to this, she said, "People don't understand I've been doing this8. We should all take responsibility for picking up the rubbish as well as9 we don't drop rubbish in the first place."
The environmentally conscious granny has no intention of10 just because this year was over. "Doing 52 beach cleans was my New Year's resolution and it's finally11," said Smith. "I won't stop, as our beaches12 me. I'm driven to try and protect our13 for my children and grandchildren and I will14 doing everything in my power to achieve that.

4、When was the last time you updated your resume? If it's been a while, you might want to give it a refresh. Here's some advice on how to write a resume that's both competitive and up-to-date.
A standard resume typically begins with some key information at the top, such as your name and contact number. You don't need to include your home address. Doing so might suggest you aren't open to remote work opportunities. Never underestimate how a shared academic interest can instantly build connection with the readers.
Adding a paragraph of three-to-five sentences summarizing your professional identity and career is crucial. Use descriptive language to define your role, emphasize unique skills, and state career goals — ultimately showing how you plan to contribute to your field.
This acts as an enhanced digital version of your resume, offering additional features. Hiring managers often search for candidates online before interviews. Providing this link makes it easier for them to access relevant details about your qualifications.
Resume gaps aren't unusual, but they should be handled thoughtfully. A few ways can help address these gaps, such as listing work history by year instead of month to cover shorter unemployment periods. If needed, unpaid community work and volunteer service during the gap should be included. For longer gaps, briefly explain them in your cover letter.
A. Don't forget, however, to add your major.
B. Be aware that the standard is always changing.
C. This could significantly decrease your chances of being hired.
D. For a fuller professional picture, include a link to your profile.
E. The best way to handle the gaps is by removing it from your resume.
F. If asked during an interview, discuss them honestly rather than avoid.
G. This section should clarify your expertise, strengths, and key achievements.

5、将下列几个部分(A、B、C、D 和 E)按题号排序,构成一个符合逻辑的完整语篇。
A. The truth is a different story. According to a new poll, Americans visited the library more often than they did other activities in their free time.
B. On the contrary, libraries are free, and so are many of their services like Wi-Fi, in addition to the endless supply of books.
C. Although it is not the only reason, cost appears to play a part. Activities at the bottom of the list such as visiting theme parks and zoos are typically expensive.
D. Nowadays, people are given a wide range of entertainment options. As a result, visits to the library may seem like an old-fashioned activity.
E. The poll surveyed 1025 adults throughout the United States who were asked how many times they participated in nine different pastimes, including visiting a library or attending a sporting event. Library visits came out on top as the favorite.

6、Imagine you're writing a poem, rhymes must be paired up before you start a new line. It turns out that AI does something similar! When Claude, a large language model (LLM), is given the first line "he saw a carrot and had to grab it", it begins thinking about words like "rabbit" almost immediately, writing the next sentence to end at the appropriate rhyme.
Such forethought is unexpected. Scientists at Anthropic, the lab that developed Claude, built a tool and they discovered some unexpected complexity.
The tool, a "digital microscope", lets scientists look at which parts of the AI's neural (神经的) network light up when it's working on different tasks. If a particular area of the LLM lights up whenever it produces words like rabbit, then that gets marked as being related to rabbits.
This has let the team solve some open questions in AI research, for example, whether a multilingual (多语言的) chatbot has awareness of concepts beyond language. When Claude is asked for the opposite of "big" in English, or the same concept in Chinese, the same feature lights up in every case, before more language-specific circuits kick in to "translate" the concept of smallness into a particular word. This suggests that AI might have a deeper understanding of the world than we thought.
Other insights, though, are less encouraging. When Claude itself is asked to reason, printing out its chain of thought to answer maths questions, the microscope suggests that the way the model says it reached a conclusion, and what it actually thought, might not always be the same. Worse still, ask a leading question — suggesting that the answer "might be 4", and it will specifically add numbers that ultimately lead it to agree with the question, even if the suggestion is wrong.
But being able to gain insight into the mind of an LLM provides clues as to how to stop it doing the same in the future. The goal, after all, is not to have to do brain surgery, but to know what it's thinking.
(1)、What does the writer intend to show through the example in paragraph 1?A、AI can write texts as programmed. B、AI can plan sentences in advance. C、AI can deal with complex tasks. D、AI can simplify rhyming lines.(2)、How does "digital microscope" function in the research?A、By tracking AI's thinking activities. B、By working on different jobs. C、By activating AI's "brain" potential. D、By matching language patterns.(3)、What can be inferred from paragraph 5 about Claude?A、It may make stuff up. B、It may skip chains of thought. C、It may leave clues out. D、It may give logical reasoning.(4)、Which of the following titles best suits this text?A、Why AI Still Gets It Wrong B、Chatbots' Language Magic C、Looking Inside AI's Mind D、The Rise of AI Chatbots -
7、There's an enormous amount of personal health information people now feed or tap into digital monitors, health apps, search engines and other online tools. If the same information were provided in your doctor's office, your privacy would be safeguarded. But that's not how the digitized health world works.
Instead, we have an ecosystem of abuse (滥用) in which health technology companies operate largely outside the law that requires doctors and other medical personnel (人员), hospitals and insurers to protect an individual's health information.
That means technology companies can — and do — dig your digital data for clues about your health status, accessing information like prescriptions (处方) you have purchased and other health services you might have sought, and potentially link this information to your name, address, email address and other personally identifying information. The data can then be used by platforms including Facebook and Google to help advertisers target promotions or other communications to you.
It's a huge hole in health privacy protections that comes from the privacy law, which protects interactions between patients, medical professionals and insurers but does not, in most cases, protect patient health data that is recorded on new technologies.
Closing the patient privacy gap can — and should — be a priority for lawmakers. The consequences of digital exposure for those seeking reproductive services have drawn significant concern and attention. These worries are reasonable. But reproductive care is only one area of health services where private patient information is digitally disclosed.
Therefore, lawmakers must take action to protect the privacy of people who are now online for all manners of personal, professional and other reasons. Until then, a narrowly targeted approach that protects health privacy may be politically easier to come into effect. The explosion of digital health technology and the dramatic increase in its use in the past few years require it greatly.
(1)、What's the author's attitude towards the present privacy law?A、Approving. B、Critical. C、Cautious. D、Ambiguous.(2)、What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 6 refer to?A、The spread of health service. B、People's privacy. C、A narrowly targeted approach. D、The explosion of digital technology.(3)、What is the purpose of the text?A、To introduce a debate on the effect of technology. B、To explain how the digitized health world works. C、To report cases of illegal information exposure. D、To advocate improvement in the privacy law. -
8、A story of friendship between a human and a beast is familiar, but one between a man and a penguin is rare. It began when 71-year-old Brazilian fisherman Joao found an oil-covered penguin on a Rio de Janeiro beach, close to death.
The kindhearted fisherman knew that he could not simply walk away from the poor penguin. So Joao cleaned the oil off the penguin's feathers and nursed it back to health. He started taking care of the poor penguin and fed it with fish to recover the energy it had lost. Soon, he decided to name his newfound friend Dindim. Right after Dindim was able to recover, Joao attempted to release the penguin back into the sea. However, Dindim would not leave his side.
If you are thinking that their one-of-a-kind friendship ended there, then you are in for a big surprise! Apparently, Dindim was so touched by the local fisherman's kind gesture that it cannot forget about him and considered where he lives as its second home. Hence, each year, Dindim would travel over 5,000 miles just to see and be reunited with Joao, the man who saved its life. In fact, for the past four years, Dindim has already spent 8 months of the year with the kindhearted fisherman in its second home.
According to Professor Krajweski, the one who interviewed Joao for Globo TV, Dindim was the first ever penguin that he had encountered to be sweet, thoughtful, and attached to its rescuer. But he has an explanation about such remarkable incident. Meanwhile, this heartwarming story of a unique friendship has made its way to the big screen. In My Penguin Friend, Brazilian director David Schurmann adds creative touches to the true story, sometimes going beyond the original facts. Although Schurmann aimed to subtly (巧妙地) include an environmental message, his main goal was to offer hope and relief to audiences.
(1)、How did Joao help Dindim?A、He released it into the sea. B、He called nurses to clean it. C、He trained it in learning tricks. D、He helped it to restore strength.(2)、What was Schurmann's primary goal to make My Penguin Friend?A、To uplift viewers. B、To arouse attention. C、To inform audiences. D、To document a story.(3)、What message does the story try to convey?A、Love me, love my dog. B、Good deeds bring good returns. C、Every cloud has a silver lining. D、Birds of a feather flock together. -
9、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Mia was an art-loving teenager who could spend hours painting in her small studio. Her dream was to win the Young Artist for Change competition, which required works themed around "Our Planet, Our Future." However, Mia had a problem — she only liked painting "beautiful" things: perfect sunsets, colorful flowers, and peaceful forests. She avoided anything messy or ugly.
"Mia, art isn't just about beauty," her art teacher, Ms. Rivera, often said. "Sometimes, art needs to tell the truth, even if the truth is painful." But Mia didn't listen. She prepared a painting of a crystal-clear ocean with dolphins jumping above the waves. It was pretty, but it felt hollow.
One Saturday, Mia went for a walk along the coast to get inspiration. She expected the usual postcard view — blue water and golden sand. Instead, she was shocked. The beach was covered with plastic waste: bottles, bags, fishing nets, and broken toys. A seagull (海鸥) was trapped in a plastic ring, struggling weakly. The smell was terrible.
Mia stood there, frozen. She saw a group of volunteers picking up trash. An old woman handed her a pair of gloves and said, "We clean every weekend, but more plastic comes every tide. People don't see this. They only see the postcard."
That night, Mia couldn't sleep. She looked at her pretty ocean painting and suddenly felt it was meaningless and empty. It was a lie. The real ocean was dying, and she had been painting fantasy. She set her pretty ocean painting aside and picked up her brush, her hand shaking with resolve.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

However, Eric was determined to4 all expectations. Through years of intensive recovery training, he gradually regained movement in his shoulders and made remarkable progress. He proved that miracles can happen if one has an unbreakable5. To give back to the community and6 others facing similar challenges, Eric founded Team LeGrand in 2013. As a fundraising arm for the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation, it has7 millions of dollars for spinal cord research. Eric has also8 various roles as an author, sports analyst, and9 speaker. He has even become a successful10, launching a clothing brand, a coffee brand, a whiskey brand and a podcast. Eric was honored with numerous awards, including the WWE Warrior Award.

13、Essential Habits for High School Students
High school is a critical stage for building academic foundations and lifelong learning skills. While many students spend hours studying, only those with effective habits achieve steady progress.
High school life is full of various extracurricular activities and competitions, which may hold back your regular study. A consistent study schedule is key to keeping learning on track — dedicate 30-45 minutes of focused study daily. This small daily commitment can train your brain to concentrate more easily over time. Besides, prioritize tasks wisely: focus on difficult subjects when energetic and finish key tasks first to boost efficiency.
Every student has unique preferences for a productive study environment. A tidy and personalized space helps you get into the learning zone faster. Keep your desk tidy with only essential supplies to stay focused and reduce stress.
Note-taking is more than copying classroom content; well-structured notes boost study efficiency. Try these techniques in your daily study routine, such as separating main points from details, using mind maps, and highlighting key information for easy review.
Set specific and achievable goals instead of vague plans. Memory fades over time, and without active revision, you can lose up to 70% of new information within 24 hours. Regular revision counteracts this natural forgetting process. Meanwhile, don't ignore self-care. Aim for 8 to 9 hours of sleep every night to keep your energy high. Taking part in school sports can help you focus better, and eating healthy snacks can keep your energy up while studying.
A. Stick to a regular schedule and prioritize tasks.
B. Focus on easy subjects first to save time and energy.
C. Copy all classroom content to avoid missing key points.
D. These essential study habits help you study smarter and reduce stress.
E. Adopt practical note-taking methods to make your notes well-structured.
F. Spend 10-15 minutes reviewing notes after studying to reinforce memory.
G. Choose a quiet study area or play soft background music based on your preference.

14、Bubble tea, a globally popular drink, is often seen as a harmless treat. However, emerging research and medical reports indicate that its health and safety risks are more significant than many consumers realize, extending beyond mere high sugar content.
One of the most immediate dangers is choking from tapioca pearls. A 2019 study documented a case where a teenager needed emergency surgery to remove a pearl stuck in her airway. The study identified 16 similar choking incidents in medical literature. The pearls' size and common use of wide straws encourage swallowing without proper chewing, creating a real risk, especially for children.
The well-documented high sugar level is another major concern. A typical serving can contain shockingly high amounts of sugar, sometimes exceeding 50 grams. This far surpasses the World Health Organization's recommended daily intake of free sugars. Regular consumption is strongly linked to an increased risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and other metabolic disorders. Some national food agencies have even categorized bubble tea as a "sugar-sweetened beverage" subject to public health warnings.
Beyond sugar, the drink often contains considerable amounts of caffeine and food additives. The caffeine, primarily from tea base, can lead to anxiety, sleep disturbances, and palpitations, especially in young people. A 2023 Taiwanese study found that some bubble teas contained enough caffeine to exceed the recommended daily limit for adolescents in just one serving. Furthermore, additives like thickeners and artificial flavors, while approved for use, raise questions about long-term health effects when consumed frequently.
While an occasional bubble tea is unlikely to cause harm, the combination of choking risks, extreme sugar content, and potential overconsumption of caffeine and additives presents a serious public health challenge. Understanding these hidden risks is crucial for making informed choices, particularly for younger, frequent consumers.
(1)、What did the 2019 study reveal about choking incidents?A、They are the leading cause of teen death. B、They have been documented several times. C、They can be avoided by chewing pearls. D、They are often misdiagnosed by doctors.(2)、What can be inferred about bubble tea's caffeine?A、It is more harmful than sugar. B、Its effects are reduced by milk. C、One cup may be over a teen's limit daily. D、It causes immediate heart attacks.(3)、How does the author develop the passage?A、By listing research findings. B、By comparing popular drinks. C、By describing production steps. D、By sharing personal stories.(4)、Which is the best title for the text?A、Why Bubble Tea Is So Popular B、The Hidden Threats of Bubble Tea C、How to Make Healthy Bubble Tea D、The Sweet Taste of Bubble Tea -
15、A group of farmers in Nigeria are using a new method to grow crops from moisture (水汽) in the air. The method, known as aeroponics, does not use soil. Instead, plant roots hang in the air and take in nutrients from water mist. The method could make a big difference in places where huge amounts of land have been made unfarmable.
Biochemist Samson Ogbole is popularly known as Nigeria's smart farmer. He and his team are growing crops without soil at the technology-based farm they started three years ago in Abeokuta. Ogbole says they are working hard to end the seasonal food shortage in Nigeria. "It is just farming anytime during the year, meaning we can plant crops anytime during the year, and we can harvest anytime during the year."
But setting up the aeroponics farm was not easy. It required more than $180,000. And people in Abeokuta boycotted this nontraditional method of farming. It took a lot of effort to change those people's minds about it. In fact, in Nigeria, about 30 million hectares of farmland is being used, instead of the 78.5 million hectares required for food security. In the north, only 49 percent of the land is fertile, a situation that worries traditional farmers. Aeroponics, however, does not require traditional farm work or much land. Nutrients for the plants are controlled by a recycling system, greatly increasing productivity.
Dr. Phillip Ojo, Director-General of the National Agricultural Seeds Council, says the government welcomes the new farming method. Ojo notes that with aeroponics, farmers can quickly increase planting materials.
The agricultural industry represents about 40 percent of Nigeria's economy. The government wants to greatly expand this percentage. For now, most farmers lack the technical knowledge to increase productivity. They also need access to high-quality seeds to guarantee (保证) better harvests. Technologically skilled farmers like Samson Ogbole are offering a new way forward.
(1)、What can be known about aeroponics?A、It is not affected by the seasons. B、It helps crops draw nutrients from the soil. C、It will make the condition of the soil worse. D、It is aimed at bringing back farmland.(2)、Why are Ogbole and his team working hard?A、To reduce the aeroponics farm. B、To end the seasonal food shortage in Nigeria. C、To get more support from other countries. D、To help the poor all over the world.(3)、What does the underlined word "boycotted" mean in paragraph 3?A、Welcomed. B、Approved. C、Obtained. D、Resisted.(4)、What is Dr. Phillip Ojo's attitude to aeroponics?A、Doubtful. B、Unclear. C、Supportive. D、Opposed. -
16、In 2019, 40-year-old Vichitra Senthil Kumar felt a nameless anxiety. Though living a content life in Tiruppur with her husband and teenage son, working well at her husband's plastic recycling business, she still struggled with dissatisfaction. She was a former school and college football player but marriage and family interrupted that path. A turning point came when she joined a charity group at her maternal uncle's request. After work, she attended various social work programmes, and her husband noticed her newfound happiness, suggesting this might be her life ambition. Kumar was good at community work and was elected the group's president in 2021.
At the age of 44, she started a new donated milk center. That year, Tiruppur's Government Medical College Hospital asked her team for help to provide milk to premature, abandoned babies or those whose mothers couldn't feed them due to illness. Many migrant workers in Tiruppur's textile industry, who make up half of the 60,000 workers and live a hard life, often abandon their babies.
Initially unaware of these babies' difficult situations, Kumar was deeply moved after seeing a 600-gram baby in the newborn care unit. She resolved to collect breast milk wherever possible. Making use of her network, she collects milk even from 300 km away in Bangalore, and provides expensive pumps and pouches to donating mothers.
Convincing women to donate was tough; some families opposed it. Kumar avoids pushing them, but some women secretly donate milk without their family's knowledge. Once, a man contacted her, and his wife donated 117 litres of milk over nine months. The hospital says 25% of babies in the newborn care unit benefit from the donated milk.
Today, Kumar's donated milk center has become a great support for countless weak babies in Tiruppur. What started as a personal journey to fill the emptiness in her own life has grown into a mission that brings warmth and hope to families in need.
(1)、Who helped Kumar find her life goal?A、Her husband. B、Her son. C、Her uncle. D、Weak and sick mothers.(2)、What is the motivation for Kumar to collect breast milk?A、To know these babies' difficult situations. B、To help Government Medical College Hospital. C、To help those babies in poor condition. D、To take advantage of her network.(3)、What can we infer from paragraph 4?A、All families supported milk donation. B、Some women donated despite family objection. C、Kumar forced others to donate. D、Most newborns benefited from donated milk.(4)、What is the main idea of the passage?A、Kumar did charity despite opposition. B、Kumar built a milk collection network. C、Premature babies' difficult situations. D、Kumar found purpose via milk center. -

19、阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
When I arrived in China to teach law, I didn't expect (come) home with so much tea. Nor did I expect what the tea would come to mean.
The meaning became (vivid) clear to me in Chengdu. There, my students and I sat for tea in Daci Temple. They made it carefully, (perform) each step from memory. When I asked why they washed the cups and poured away the (one) cup of tea, they hesitated. It's what their parents and grandparents do and they learned it them, they said. The tradition was about continuity — repeating a gesture countless hands had done before. A quiet ceremony of connection.
In moments like this, I saw something I rarely encounter in the US — a drink that commands respect for its meaning. In the West, tea (see) as a functional drink — something to energize or calm. But in China, tea goes beyond this. It is relational. It is ceremonial. Even when shared casually between friends, it (carry) an unspoken respect.
As China becomes more (center) to global cultural conversations, its tea traditions deserve greater global attention.
