B
I’m 62 now and always planned to volunteer with older people when I retired. I knew there was such a big gap in the care and support this generation receives and I found the thought heartbreaking-no one should have to feel lonely and stuck at home.
Since I started volunteering three years ago, my team of volunteers have set up seven groups in our town. We host tea parties for those aged 75 and older who live on their own and regularly provide support, friendship and companionship for the most isolated older people in the community.
Working with my older neighbors is rewarding. To hear their stories and the hardships they have overcome is inspiring. I feel like I’m making a positive difference to the lives of older people by sharing my time with them, helping them stay active and social and making it clear to them that they are valued by our community.
As an area coordinator (协调人), I also help recruit(招募) and manage volunteers, without whom none of the work would be possible. So many go above and beyond what’s asked, giving their time, energy and kindness, just because they care. I’ve found so much enthusiasm from people wanting to make the lives of our older neighbors better, and they are a constant source of inspiration for me.
I’ve met so many amazing people from all walks of life (各行各业). It’s one of the best things I’ve ever done and it has enriched my life so much. I will keep focusing on reducing loneliness and isolation among the elderly and helping older people enjoy the old age that they deserve.
39. What does the underlined word “isolated” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. friendly B. lonely C. helpless D. supportive
40. What does the author think of her work as a volunteer
A. It is meaningful. B. It gives her confidence.
C. It is challenging. D. It reduces her loneliness.
41. What quality of the other volunteers inspired the author
A. Their skills. B. Their creativity. C. Their optimism. D. Their passion.
【答案】39. B 40. A 41. D
【解析】

US company Colossal Biosciences announced on Jan 31 that it would be trying to bring back to life the dodo—a large bird that was native to the island of Mauritius in the Indian ocean. They lived there until the 17th century.
“[The place] to reintroduce the dodo into the wild would be Mauritius,” Ben Lamm, the co-founder of the company told The Guardian. A reintroduction of dodos to the ecosystem of the island, instead of just being a novelty(新奇), is thought to potentially bring benefits to the endemic (地方性的) plants and other animals that already live there.
Having discovered the genetic code(基因序列) of extinct animals from their remains, the company seeks to change the DNA of currently living creatures to make them close to the animal of the past. The Nicobar pigeon(尼柯巴鸠) will be used as the genetic base for the dodo, according to MIT Technology Review.
The company also has plans for other extinct animals. When the company first formed in 2021 it announced its plans to bring back mammoths(猛犸象). They believe that mammoths introduced to the Arctic regions could help tackle climate change as they turn the wet tundra(苔原) into sunlight-reflecting dry grasslands by cating the grass, according to The New Yorker.
However, some people are skeptical. According to BBC Science Focus, with a third of all bird species currently in decline, strategies to protect existing species are needed more than ever instead of focusing on animals of the past.
Despite the lack of consensus (共识), it has yet to be seen if this miracle of science can actually be pulled off. A real-life Jurassic Park isn’t likely to open anytime soon.
42. What do we know about dodos, according to the text
A. They were native to the island of Mauritius. B. They died out around the 19th century.
C. They will be reintroduced into India. D. They could help slow down climate change.
43. What will be used as the genetic base for dodos
A. The remains of the dodo. B. The Nicobar pigeon.
C. The mammoth. D. The current DNA data bank.
44. Why do some people have doubts about Colossal Biosciences’ plans
A. They think extinct animals are not important.
B. They think the plans will not work in practice.
C. They believe the plans go against nature.
D. They believe protecting existing species is more necessary.
45. What’s the author’s attitude toward the reintroduction of extinct animals
A. It’s worth trying. B. It sounds risky.
C. It will bring many benefits. D. It still has a long way to go.
【答案】42. A 43. B 44. D 45. D

The boss of a big company needed to call one of his employees about an urgent problem on one of the main computers. He dialed the employee’s home phone number and was greeted with a child’s whisper, “Hello ”
Feeling it was inconvenient to talk to a youngster, the boss asked, “Is your daddy home ” “Yes,” whispered the small voice. “May I talk with him ” the man asked. To the surprise of the boss, the small voice whispered, “No.”
Wanting to talk with an adult. the boss asked. “Is your mommy there ” “Yes,” came the answer, “May I talk with her ” Again the small voice whispered, “No.”
Knowing that it was not likely that a young child would be left home alone, the boss decided he would just leave a message with the person who should be there watching over the child. “Is there any one there besides you ” the boss asked the child. “Yes,” whispered the child, “a policeman.”
Wondering what a policeman would be doing at his employee’s home, the boss asked, “May I speak with the policeman ” “No, he is busy,” whispered the child. “Busy doing what ” asked the boss. “Talking to Daddy and Mommy and the fireman,” came the whispered answer.
Growing concerned and even worried as he heard what sounded like a helicopter through the earpiece on the phone, the boss asked, “What is that noise ” “A hello-copper,” answered the whispering voice. “What is going on there ” asked the boss, now alarmed. In a low whispering voice the child answered, “The search team just landed the hello-copper!”

【答案】Dear Smith,
I am thrilled to hear about your interest in Chinese traditional culture, especially the Dragon Boat Festival. I'm more than happy to share some insights into this important event with you.
The Dragon Boat Festival falls on the 5th day of the 5th lunar month. This festival has been celebrated for over 2000 years and is deeply rooted in Chinese history. The most popular belief regarding its origin is to commemorate the death of Qu Yuan, an ancient poet who was known for his loyalty to his country.
One of the customs of the Dragon Boat Festival is the making and eating of sticky rice dumplings, or zongzi. Besides enjoying zongzi, people also participate in dragon boat races, hang wormwood leaves on their doors to repel insects and evil spirits, and drink realgar wine as a way to ward off diseases.
It would be a great opportunity for you to experience this unique aspect of Chinese culture. Looking forward to your reply!
Best regards,
Li Hua

I’m 62 now and always planned to volunteer with older people when I retired. I knew there was such a big gap in the care and support this generation receives and I found the thought heartbreaking-no one should have to feel lonely and stuck at home.
Since I started volunteering three years ago, my team of volunteers have set up seven groups in our town. We host tea parties for those aged 75 and older who live on their own and regularly provide support, friendship and companionship for the most isolated older people in the community.
Working with my older neighbors is rewarding. To hear their stories and the hardships they have overcome is inspiring. I feel like I’m making a positive difference to the lives of older people by sharing my time with them, helping them stay active and social and making it clear to them that they are valued by our community.
As an area coordinator (协调人), I also help recruit(招募) and manage volunteers, without whom none of the work would be possible. So many go above and beyond what’s asked, giving their time, energy and kindness, just because they care. I’ve found so much enthusiasm from people wanting to make the lives of our older neighbors better, and they are a constant source of inspiration for me.
I’ve met so many amazing people from all walks of life (各行各业). It’s one of the best things I’ve ever done and it has enriched my life so much. I will keep focusing on reducing loneliness and isolation among the elderly and helping older people enjoy the old age that they deserve.
39. What does the underlined word “isolated” in paragraph 2 probably mean

C. It is challenging. D. It reduces her loneliness.
41. What quality of the other volunteers inspired the author
A. Their skills. B. Their creativity. C. Their optimism. D. Their passion.
