I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.
War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.
The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬) under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.
Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn’t notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “Thanks.”
Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn’t always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.

Medha Gupta sometimes felt worried making the 20-minute walk from the corner where the school bus dropped her off to her home in Herndon, Virginia—especially during the colder months in winter.
Her mother, Divya Gupta had a suggestion: write an app. She was half-kidding, but Medha took the challenge seriously. So she went to work.
The result was Safe Travel, an app designed by Medha to help walkers feel more secure when travelling alone. Using the iPhone, a person can programme it to send a warning to someone he or she trusts if he or she fails to arrive at a destination within a certain time.
It was the first IOS app that Medha had created. While she didn’t think much would come from the project, her effort caught the eye of judges for the annual Congressional App Challenge, who selected her as the winner for Virginia’s 10th District.
The App Challenge is designed to encourage students to consider careers in science, technology, engineering, and maths by experimenting with coding and computer science. Winning students are invited to attend a reception on Capitol Hill in April and also received $ 250 in Amazon Web Service credits.
Medha said it took her about 40 hours to design, programme and test the app. As for her next app, Medha’s not certain. She temporarily has her app-development tasks on hold because she’s busy teaching herself AI to help deal with improper words on Facebook. Yes, she knows that there are teams of engineers possibly doing the same thing. But she figures it can’t hurt her own part, too.
“If we see something wrong with the world, we should do something about it,” she said. “After all, the only one stopping us from doing something is ourselves.”
8. What did Medha Gupta’s mother advise her to do
A. Develop an app. B. Take a bus.
C. Travel with others. D. Walk to school.
9. How is the App Challenge designed to encourage students to consider their careers
A. By attending the lecture about science and technology.
B. By searching the online information.
C. By experimenting with coding and computer science.
D. By consulting the professional teachers.
10. What does the underlined word “secure” in the third passage probably mean
A. warning B. safe C. trusty D. dangerous
11. What message does Medha seem to express in the last paragraph
A. Never too old to learn. B. AI leads to a better future.
C. Always be creative in life. D. Practice makes perfect.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Medha Gupta在母亲建议下，开发应用程序参赛获胜的故事。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Her mother, Divya Gupta had a suggestion: write an app. (她的母亲Divya Gupta给了她一个建议：编写一个应用程序。)”可知，Medha Gupta的母亲建议她开发一个应用程序。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“The App Challenge is designed to encourage students to consider careers in science, technology, engineering, and maths by experimenting with coding and computer science. (App挑战赛旨在鼓励学生通过编程和计算机科学实验，考虑在科学、技术、工程和数学领域发展。)”可知，App挑战赛是通过编程和计算机科学实验鼓励学生考虑自己的职业发展的。故选C项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词句后文“Using the iPhone, a person can programme it to send a warning to someone he or she trusts if he or she fails to arrive at a destination within a certain time. (使用iPhone，一个人可以对它进行编程，如果他或她没有在一定时间内到达目的地，它就会向他或她信任的人发出警告。)”说明运用该程序使人避免危险，更加安全，从而推知划线词句“The result was Safe Travel, an app designed by Medha to help walkers feel more secure when travelling alone. (Medha设计了一款名为“Safe Travel（安全旅行）”的应用程序，帮助步行者在独自旅行时感到更secure。)”其中划线词汇意思是“安全”。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Medha所说“If we see something wrong with the world, we should do something about it. she said. “After all, the only one stopping us from doing something is ourselves.”(如果我们看到这个世界出了什么问题，我们就应该做点什么。她说。“毕竟，唯一阻止我们做事的是我们自己。”)”可知，本段中Medha表达了在生活中应该始终保持创造性。故选C项。

It’s been more than 60 years since Jane Goodall started her pioneering work. In 1960, she was chosen to go to what is now Tanzania and study the little-known world of chimpanzees. Since then, Goodall has received many awards and honorary degrees as a world-famous conservationist (自然环境保护主义者). Now, Goodall has received an unusual honor. She is becoming a toy — a Barbie doll.
Goodall may not have expected to become a Barbie at 88 years old — but it’s not just any doll, it’s made out of recycled plastic. And Barbie is partnering with the Jane Goodall Foundation and its Roots & Shoots program which inspires young people to protect animals and the environment.
“You know, the main message is that every day you live, you make an influence on the planet and you get to choose what sort of influence you make,” Goodall said.
“There was a little boy of 7 in Burundi, and I had given a talk to the school and he came up to me and said, ‘If I pick out a piece of trash every day, it will make a difference, won’t it ’ And I said, ‘Yes it will. And suppose you persuade (劝说) 10 of your friends to pick up a piece of rubbish every day.’ He said, ‘Oh, that would really make a difference and then they could all get 10 of their friends, couldn’t they ’ Goodall said, “So, that’s it. The cumulative (积累的) effect of small actions can lead to big change.”
She’s been inspiring young people for decades, but now, newer generations will get to know Jane Goodall. “I sincerely hope that it will help to create more interest in the natural world,” she said about the Barbie. “Because hopefully, you know, they’ll learn more about me through the doll. And that will get them interested. It doesn’t really matter if they have a career in conservation, as long as they pay attention to conservation in their daily lives.”
12. What is the intention of Barbie’s making a doll of Jane Goodall
A. To give Jane Goodall a surprise.
B. To test the quality of recycled plastic.
C. To encourage environmental protection.
D. To start a cooperative research program.
13 What idea does Goodall’s conversation with the little boy mainly convey
A. Everyone can make an impact on the planet.
B. Children will make the future world a better place.
C. Every child should pick up a piece of rubbish every day.
D. The accumulation of tiny actions makes a great difference.
14. What is Goodall’s attitude towards the Barbie doll
A. Critical. B. Supportive.
C. Disapproving. D. Doubtful.
15. Which of the following could be the best title for the text
A. Jane Goodall’s Good Expectation of Nature Conservation
B. Young People’s Strong Interest in Nature Conservation
C. Great Popularity of a New Barbie Doll of Jane Goodall
D. Inspire Newer Generations to Care About Conservation Through a Doll
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述芭比娃娃公司推出了一款以自然环境保护主义者Jane Goodall为原型的芭比娃娃，以鼓励年轻人保护自然环境。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“but it’s not just any doll, it’s made out of recycled plastic. And Barbie is partnering with the Jane Goodall Foundation and its Roots & Shoots program which inspires young people to protect animals and the environment. (但这不是一个普通的芭比娃娃，它是由回收塑料制成的。芭比正与珍·古道尔基金会及其“根与芽”项目合作，该项目旨在激励年轻人保护动物和环境。)”可知，芭比娃娃公司推出以自然环境保护主义者Jane Goodall为原型的芭比娃娃旨在鼓励年轻人保护动物和环境。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的““There was a little boy of 7 in Burundi, and I had given a talk to the school and he came up to me and said, ‘If I pick out a piece of trash every day, it will make a difference, won’t it ’ And I said, ‘Yes it will. And suppose you persuade (劝说) 10 of your friends to pick up a piece of rubbish every day.’ He said, ‘Oh, that would really make a difference and then they could all get 10 of their friends, couldn’t they ’ Goodall said, “So, that’s it. The cumulative (积累的) effect of small actions can lead to big change.” (“布隆迪有一个7岁的小男孩，我在学校做了一次演讲，他走过来对我说，‘如果我每天捡一块垃圾，情况就会有所不同，不是吗 ’我说：‘会的。假设你说服你的10个朋友每天捡一块垃圾。’他说，‘哦，那真的很重要，这样他们就能得到10个朋友，不是吗 ’”古道尔说：“就是这样。小行动的累积效应可以带来大的变化。”)”可知，Jane Goodall与小男孩的对话主要传达了日积月累的小行动也会产生巨大的影响这一理念。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““I sincerely hope that it will help to create more interest in the natural world,” she said about the Barbie. “Because hopefully, you know, they’ll learn more about me through the doll. And that will get them interested. It doesn’t really matter if they have a career in conservation, as long as they pay attention to conservation in their daily lives.” (“我真诚地希望它能帮助人们对自然世界产生更多的兴趣，”她谈到芭比娃娃时说。“因为希望，你知道，他们会通过娃娃更多地了解我。这会引起他们的兴趣。只要他们在日常生活中注意保护，他们是否从事保护工作并不重要。”)”可知Jane Goodall对这款芭比娃娃寄予厚望，她希望它能让新一代的人更多地了解她，并激发他们保护自然环境的兴趣。由此可以推断出，她支持推出这款芭比娃娃。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。本文主要介绍的是芭比娃娃公司推出了一款以自然环境保护主义者Jane Goodall为原型的芭比娃娃，以鼓励年轻人保护自然环境。因此，D项“通过玩偶激发新一代的环保意识”适合作本文标题。故选D。

How to Enlarge English Vocabulary
Enlarging one's English vocabulary requires consistent effort and smart strategies.
Firstly, reading is key. I regularly read newspapers, novels, and online articles, encountering new words in various contexts. Secondly, I make flashcards with new vocabulary and review them regularly. Audio resources like podcasts and songs also help, as they introduce vocabulary through natural language use. Finally, practicing in real-life situations, like with native speakers or in writing, solidifies my understanding of new words.
These methods have significantly expanded my vocabulary over time.

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。
“BANG!” the door was shut loudly. It was just standing there, with my father standing on one side, and I on the other side.
We were both in great anger. “Never set foot in this house again!” my father said angrily. With tears in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.
I didn’t know whether it was because I had grown up or because my dad was getting old. He always put his opinions on me. We were just like two people in two different worlds. It felt like there was an iron door between us that could never be opened.
My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on, there were fewer and fewer people on the streets. When I finally reached my house, I saw that the light was still on.
All the lights were off except living room’s.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
I stood at the door and didn’t know how to face my father. I paced back and forth at the door for a while. I was seized by a strong sense of nervousness and my palms were sweating. Although I didn’t think my father was right, I felt I was also wrong. I shouldn’t talk back to him. I wanted to have a conversation with him calmly. After thinking twice, I took out the key from my pocket. With the key in hand, I opened the door nervously.
To my surprise, my father was sitting by the dining table alone. Seeing I came back, my father stood up excitedly. When I found my favorite food was laid on the table, I approached him and threw myself into his arms, sobbing uncontrollably on his shoulder. I was touched beyond words, feeling a stream of warmth flowing in my heart. It was then that I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist. I knew my father loved me deeply.

I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.
War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.
The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬) under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.
Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn’t notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “Thanks.”

Medha Gupta sometimes felt worried making the 20-minute walk from the corner where the school bus dropped her off to her home in Herndon, Virginia—especially during the colder months in winter.
Her mother, Divya Gupta had a suggestion: write an app. She was half-kidding, but Medha took the challenge seriously. So she went to work.
The result was Safe Travel, an app designed by Medha to help walkers feel more secure when travelling alone. Using the iPhone, a person can programme it to send a warning to someone he or she trusts if he or she fails to arrive at a destination within a certain time.
It was the first IOS app that Medha had created. While she didn’t think much would come from the project, her effort caught the eye of judges for the annual Congressional App Challenge, who selected her as the winner for Virginia’s 10th District.
The App Challenge is designed to encourage students to consider careers in science, technology, engineering, and maths by experimenting with coding and computer science. Winning students are invited to attend a reception on Capitol Hill in April and also received $ 250 in Amazon Web Service credits.
Medha said it took her about 40 hours to design, programme and test the app. As for her next app, Medha’s not certain. She temporarily has her app-development tasks on hold because she’s busy teaching herself AI to help deal with improper words on Facebook. Yes, she knows that there are teams of engineers possibly doing the same thing. But she figures it can’t hurt her own part, too.
“If we see something wrong with the world, we should do something about it,” she said. “After all, the only one stopping us from doing something is ourselves.”
8. What did Medha Gupta’s mother advise her to do
A. Develop an app. B. Take a bus.
C. Travel with others. D. Walk to school.
9. How is the App Challenge designed to encourage students to consider their careers
A. By attending the lecture about science and technology.
B. By searching the online information.
C. By experimenting with coding and computer science.
D. By consulting the professional teachers.
10. What does the underlined word “secure” in the third passage probably mean
A. warning B. safe C. trusty D. dangerous
11. What message does Medha seem to express in the last paragraph
A. Never too old to learn. B. AI leads to a better future.
C. Always be creative in life. D. Practice makes perfect.
D
It’s been more than 60 years since Jane Goodall started her pioneering work. In 1960, she was chosen to go to what is now Tanzania and study the little-known world of chimpanzees. Since then, Goodall has received many awards and honorary degrees as a world-famous conservationist (自然环境保护主义者). Now, Goodall has received an unusual honor. She is becoming a toy — a Barbie doll.
Goodall may not have expected to become a Barbie at 88 years old — but it’s not just any doll, it’s made out of recycled plastic. And Barbie is partnering with the Jane Goodall Foundation and its Roots & Shoots program which inspires young people to protect animals and the environment.
“You know, the main message is that every day you live, you make an influence on the planet and you get to choose what sort of influence you make,” Goodall said.
“There was a little boy of 7 in Burundi, and I had given a talk to the school and he came up to me and said, ‘If I pick out a piece of trash every day, it will make a difference, won’t it ’ And I said, ‘Yes it will. And suppose you persuade (劝说) 10 of your friends to pick up a piece of rubbish every day.’ He said, ‘Oh, that would really make a difference and then they could all get 10 of their friends, couldn’t they ’ Goodall said, “So, that’s it. The cumulative (积累的) effect of small actions can lead to big change.”
She’s been inspiring young people for decades, but now, newer generations will get to know Jane Goodall. “I sincerely hope that it will help to create more interest in the natural world,” she said about the Barbie. “Because hopefully, you know, they’ll learn more about me through the doll. And that will get them interested. It doesn’t really matter if they have a career in conservation, as long as they pay attention to conservation in their daily lives.”
12. What is the intention of Barbie’s making a doll of Jane Goodall
A. To give Jane Goodall a surprise.
B. To test the quality of recycled plastic.
C. To encourage environmental protection.
D. To start a cooperative research program.
13. What idea does Goodall’s conversation with the little boy mainly convey
A. Everyone can make an impact on the planet.
B. Children will make the future world a better place.
C. Every child should pick up a piece of rubbish every day.
D. The accumulation of tiny actions makes a great difference.
14. What is Goodall’s attitude towards the Barbie doll
A. Critical. B. Supportive.
C. Disapproving. D. Doubtful.
15. Which of the following could be the best title for the text
A. Jane Goodall’s Good Expectation of Nature Conservation
B. Young People’s Strong Interest in Nature Conservation
C. Great Popularity of a New Barbie Doll of Jane Goodall
D. Inspire Newer Generations to Care About Conservation Through a Doll
