When Alex Lin was 11 years old, he read an article about e-waste. The article said that people were dumping (倾倒) their e-waste in places it should never go. This was dangerous, the article said, because e-waste contains poisonous chemicals. These harmful substances can get into crops, animals, water supplies — and people.
“I was really worried,” Alex remembers. He showed the article to a few of his classmates. They were worried, too. “What if it’s happening here We could be poisoning the environment and not even know it.”
“Maybe we can help,” Alex said. They made this their next project. First, they had to find out what the situation was in their town. So they sent out a survey. What they found amazed them: Of the people who answered the survey, only one in eight even knew what e-waste was, let alone how to properly dispose of (处理) it. One man had dug a huge hole in his backyard and dumped about 50 old Mac computers inside it.
Alex and his friends went into action. They advertised in the local newspaper, asking residents to bring their unwanted electronics to the school parking lot. The drive lasted two days, and they collected over 21,000 pounds of e-waste.
The next step was to set up a permanent e-waste drop-off center for the town and to find a company to recycle the waste. That was when Alex and his friends learned another scary fact about e-waste — some recycling companies don’t dispose of e-waste safely themselves. Instead, they ship it overseas to countries where local environmental laws are not enforced (施行) and kids their age work at picking apart and burning e-waste with no protection. After a while, these kids get very sick. “We checked carefully online to make sure the company we chose didn’t do this,” Alex says.
Because of the work of people like Alex and his team, more and more people are getting the message about safe disposal of e-waste.
24. What concerned Alex and his classmates
A. Their town was polluted on purpose.
B. People were ignorant of e-waste in their town.
C. Many good electronic devices were thrown away.
D. There were many low-quality electronic devices.
25. How did Alex find the survey results
A. Comforting. B. Amusing. C. Misleading. D. Alarming.
26. Why did Alex’s team check carefully online
A. To find a safe e-waste disposal method. B. To learn more about the danger of e-waste.
C. To select a responsible recycling company. D. To interpret international environmental laws.

The Planting Hope Company Inc. has introduced a new kind of sesame (芝麻) milk to the market. The company has termed its new product as the world’s most planet-friendly and nutritious plant-based milk.
The milk is produced from sesame seeds, a development that has been made possible by the company. For over five years, Planting Hope has invested in the development of the product, which is now taking the vegan milk market by storm.
“Planting Hope has brought important breakthrough innovation to plant-based milk, opening a whole new category, sesame milk, that unlocks the good nutrition of the extremely sustainable and planet-friendly sesame seed,” said Julia Stamberger, CEO and cofounder of Planting Hope. “We’re very excited to bring our innovative sesame milk line, in our eye-grabbing, colorful new packaging, to Canadian consumers.”
Sesame milk is not the first plant-based milk product in the world. The plant-based milk market is currently worth $38.9 billion globally. According to Data Bridge, plant-based milk’s market value is 7.7 times larger than that of plant-based meat.
One of the main factors driving demand for plant-based milk is intolerance to dairy milk (牛奶). Almost 70% of the world’s population is intolerant to dairy proteins. Besides the concern about allergic (过敏的) proteins, there is concern about greenhouse pollution. Raising livestock (牲畜) contributes heavily to greenhouse gases like methane and CO2. This has seen more people shifting to plant-based alternatives.
On the other hand, the journey to plant-based milk is not all plain sailing. Some types of plant-based milk such as almond (杏仁) milk have been found to be equally stressful to the planet. Almond farming uses plenty of water and harms bee populations. However, more friendly milk options such as sesame are now popping up.
With rising consumer awareness about climate change, the growth of the sesame milk market is unlikely to desist. In addition, it is important that the globe finds the type of plant-based milk that offers value without serious disadvantages.
28. What is one selling point of Planting Hope’s sesame milk
A. It is incredibly rich in nutrition. B. It is easily affordable to customers.
C. It is packaged with planet-friendly materials. D. It is the world’s first plant-based milk product.
29. What is the fifth paragraph mainly about
A. The popularity of dairy milk. B. The huge market for plant-based milk.
C. The public concern about raising livestock. D. The reasons behind the rise of plant-based milk.
30. What advantage does sesame milk have over almond milk
A. It is easier to produce. B. It is more eco-friendly.
C. It is more delicious. D. It is less likely to cause allergies.
31. Which of the following best explains the word “desist” underlined in the last paragraph
A. Delay. B. Continue. C. Stop. D. Return.
D
For generations, Nafisa Bayniyazova and her family have made a living growing melons, pumpkins and tomatoes on farms around the Aral Sea. Bayniyazova, 50, has spent most of her life near Muynak, in northwestern Uzbekistan, tending the land. Farm life was sometimes difficult but generally reliable and productive.
Now, Bayniyazova and other residents say they’re facing a disaster they can’t beat: climate change, which is speeding up the decades-long disappearance of the Aral, once the lifeblood for the thousands living around it.
Decades ago, deep blue and filled with fish, the Aral was one of the world’s largest inland bodies of water. Thousands of migrants from across Asia and Europe moved to the Aral’s shores for jobs popping up everywhere from canning factories to luxury vacation resorts. Today, the few remaining towns sit quiet along the former seabed of the Aral—technically classified as a lake, due to its lack of a direct outlet to the ocean, though residents and officials call it a sea.
Much of its early disappearance is due to human engineering and agricultural projects gone wrong, now paired with climate change. Summers are hotter and longer; winters, shorter and bitterly cold.
Without the moderating influence of a large body of water to regulate the climate, dust storms began to blow through towns. Strong winds caused dunes (沙丘) to swallow entire towns, and abandoned buildings were filled with sand. A dozen fish species went extinct, and businesses closed down. “The fish factories closed, the ships were stuck in the harbor, and the workers all left,” said Madi Zhasekenov, former director of the Aral Sea Fisherman Museum in Aralsk, Kazakhstan. “It became only us locals.”
On her Uzbekistan farm, Bayniyazova’s family has dug an earthen well, hoping to hold on to the precious little water that’s left. “If there is no water, it will be very difficult for people to live,” Bayniyazova said. “Now people are barely surviving.” She doesn’t plan to leave her farm but yet knows more hardships are likely ahead.
32. How is paragraph 3 developed
A. By reasoning. B. By making comparison.
C. By experimenting. D. By analyzing data.
33. What can be inferred from paragraph 5
A. The number of fish in the Aral Sea is increasing.
B. Madi Zhasekenov feels hopeful about his future.
C. Local people around the Aral have lost their livelihoods.
D. Madi Zhasekenov has adapted to the changing climate.
34. How does Bayniyazova feel now
A. Ashamed. B. Worried. C. Relieved. D. Embarrassed.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. The Importance of the Aral Sea
B. How to Deal With the Aral Sea Disaster
C. We Will Face the Challenge of Adapting to Climate Change
D. Climate Change Is Quickening the Disappearance of the Aral Sea

67. 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。
The only life that Jeffrey had ever known was on the streets. He has been homeless since his parents fell ill and passed away.
As much as he tried, Jeffrey couldn’t find a permanent job when he grew up. He only had a few clothes, blankets and shoes. With no family or friends, he relied on his local shelter and soup kitchen. He would often ask the workers at a local burger (汉堡包) place for their leftovers to survive.
Jeffrey knew many people in the area and would help new tenants (房客) move into their apartments for a bit of money. He desperately wanted to find a job, but he knew he didn’t look the part (穿着与工作相宜). One day, as Jeffrey was looking through the garbage can outside the burger shop for food, he noticed a black object near the surface.
He picked it up and realized it was a wallet. Maybe one of the cooks dropped it, he thought. However, when he looked inside, he could recognize the I. D. picture. The wallet belonged to Alan, an old man who stayed a few blocks away.
Alan’s cards and cash were still inside the wallet, meaning he’d lost it by mistake. There was also a check for $3,000 inside the wallet. “This is life-changing money. I could get some fresh clothes, maybe rent a small studio apartment and finally get a job,” Jeffrey said to himself.
Jeffrey sat down with the wallet in his hands and decided to think about it first. He remembered asking Alan for money a few weeks before. Alan didn’t give him money because he would have an operation soon. Jeffrey knew he couldn’t live with the guilt of knowing a man would suffer if he took the money for himself. Even though he initially felt that the check may have been a gift, he quickly realized that it was more of a test.
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。
Jeffrey walked a few blocks to Alan’s office.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A few weeks later, Jeffrey was outside the burger joint eating some leftover fries.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了Planting Hope公司推出的一种新的芝麻奶产品，这种产品如何成为市场上最环保、最营养的植物奶，文章还介绍了植物奶市场的现状和发展趋势。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The Planting Hope Company Inc. has introduced a new kind of sesame milk to the market. The company has termed its new product as the world’s most planet-friendly and nutritious plant-based milk.(Planting Hope Company Inc.向市场推出了一种新的芝麻奶。该公司将其新产品称为世界上最环保、最营养的植物奶。)”可知，Planting Hope的芝麻奶的一个卖点是它的营养非常丰富。故选A。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段“One of the main factors driving demand for plant-based milk is intolerance to dairy milk (牛奶). Almost 70% of the world’s population is intolerant to dairy proteins. Besides the concern about allergic (过敏的) proteins, there is concern about greenhouse pollution. Raising livestock (牲畜) contributes heavily to greenhouse gases like methane and CO2. This has seen more people shifting to plant-based alternatives.(推动植物奶需求的主要因素之一是对牛奶的不耐受。世界上近70%的人口对乳制品蛋白不耐受。除了对过敏性蛋白质的担忧，还有对温室污染的担忧。饲养牲畜会产生大量甲烷和二氧化碳等温室气体。这使得越来越多的人转向以植物为基础的替代品。)”可知，第五段主要阐述了植物奶兴起的背后的原因，包括对乳制品的不耐受和对温室污染的担忧。故选D。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Some types of plant-based milk such as almond (杏仁) milk have been found to be equally stressful to the planet. Almond farming uses plenty of water and harms bee populations. However, more friendly milk options such as sesame are now popping up.(人们发现，一些植物奶，如杏仁奶，对地球同样有压力。种植杏仁需要大量的水，还会危害蜜蜂的数量。然而，现在出现了更友好的牛奶选择，比如芝麻牛奶。)”可知，芝麻奶比起杏仁奶，优势在于它更环保。故选B。
【31题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段中划线词所在句子“With rising consumer awareness about climate change, the growth of the sesame milk market is unlikely to desist(随着消费者对气候变化意识的提高，芝麻奶市场的增长不太可能desist)”中的“With rising consumer awareness about climate change(随着消费者对气候变化意识的提高)”以及下文“In addition, it is important that the globe finds the type of plant-based milk that offers value without serious disadvantages.(此外，重要的是，全球要找到一种既有价值又没有严重缺点的植物奶。)”可知，划线词所在句表示“随着消费者对气候变化意识的提高，芝麻奶市场的增长不太可能停止”，划线词desist的意思是“停止”，和stop意思相近，故选C。
D
For generations, Nafisa Bayniyazova and her family have made a living growing melons, pumpkins and tomatoes on farms around the Aral Sea. Bayniyazova, 50, has spent most of her life near Muynak, in northwestern Uzbekistan, tending the land. Farm life was sometimes difficult but generally reliable and productive.
Now, Bayniyazova and other residents say they’re facing a disaster they can’t beat: climate change, which is speeding up the decades-long disappearance of the Aral, once the lifeblood for the thousands living around it.
Decades ago, deep blue and filled with fish, the Aral was one of the world’s largest inland bodies of water. Thousands of migrants from across Asia and Europe moved to the Aral’s shores for jobs popping up everywhere from canning factories to luxury vacation resorts. Today, the few remaining towns sit quiet along the former seabed of the Aral—technically classified as a lake, due to its lack of a direct outlet to the ocean, though residents and officials call it a sea.
Much of its early disappearance is due to human engineering and agricultural projects gone wrong, now paired with climate change. Summers are hotter and longer; winters, shorter and bitterly cold.
Without the moderating influence of a large body of water to regulate the climate, dust storms began to blow through towns. Strong winds caused dunes (沙丘) to swallow entire towns, and abandoned buildings were filled with sand. A dozen fish species went extinct, and businesses closed down. “The fish factories closed, the ships were stuck in the harbor, and the workers all left,” said Madi Zhasekenov, former director of the Aral Sea Fisherman Museum in Aralsk, Kazakhstan. “It became only us locals.”
On her Uzbekistan farm, Bayniyazova’s family has dug an earthen well, hoping to hold on to the precious little water that’s left. “If there is no water, it will be very difficult for people to live,” Bayniyazova said. “Now people are barely surviving.” She doesn’t plan to leave her farm but yet knows more hardships are likely ahead.
32. How is paragraph 3 developed
A. By reasoning. B. By making comparison.
C. By experimenting. D. By analyzing data.
33. What can be inferred from paragraph 5
A. The number of fish in the Aral Sea is increasing.
B. Madi Zhasekenov feels hopeful about his future.
C. Local people around the Aral have lost their livelihoods.
D. Madi Zhasekenov has adapted to the changing climate.
34. How does Bayniyazova feel now
A. Ashamed. B. Worried. C. Relieved. D. Embarrassed.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. The Importance of the Aral Sea
B. How to Deal With the Aral Sea Disaster
C. We Will Face the Challenge of Adapting to Climate Change
D. Climate Change Is Quickening the Disappearance of the Aral Sea
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲是气候变化正在加速咸海的消失。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Decades ago, deep blue and filled with fish, the Aral was one of the world’s largest inland bodies of water... Today, the few remaining towns sit quiet along the former seabed of the Aral... (几十年前，深蓝色的咸海是世界上最大的内陆水体之一，到处都是鱼。成千上万来自亚洲和欧洲的移民来到咸海沿岸，从罐头工厂到豪华度假胜地，到处都是工作机会。如今，仅存的几个城镇安静地坐落在咸海的前海床上)”可知，本段主要是通过作比较展开的。故选B。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段“A dozen fish species went extinct, and businesses closed down. “The fish factories closed, the ships were stuck in the harbor, and the workers all left,” said Madi Zhasekenov, former director of the Aral Sea Fisherman Museum in Aralsk, Kazakhstan. “It became only us locals.” (十几种鱼类灭绝，企业倒闭。哈萨克斯坦阿拉尔斯克咸海渔民博物馆前馆长马迪·扎塞克诺夫(Madi Zhasekenov)说：“渔业工厂关闭了，船只被困在港口，工人们都离开了。”“它变成了只有我们当地人。”)”可推断，咸海周围的当地人失去了生计。故选C。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““If there is no water, it will be very difficult for people to live,” Bayniyazova said. “Now people are barely surviving.” She doesn’t plan to leave her farm but yet knows more hardships are likely ahead. (她说：“如果没有水，人们将很难生存。“现在人们几乎无法生存。”她不打算离开她的农场，但她知道前方可能会有更多的困难。)” 可推断，Bayniyazova感到很担心。故选B。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“Now, Bayniyazova and other residents say they’re facing a disaster they can’t beat:climate change, which is speeding up the decades-long disappearance of the Aral, once the lifeblood for the thousands living around it. (现在，拜尼亚佐娃和其他居民说，他们正面临着一场无法战胜的灾难：气候变化，它正在加速咸海长达数十年的消失，而咸海曾经是周围数千人的命脉。)”可知，本文主要讲的是气候变化正在加速咸海的消失。故选D。

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The pain we feel may be nature’s way of telling us it’s time to take notice of our inner selves. Should you be facing painful times, we urge you to reach out to get the help and support you need. ____36____ Maybe you feel you shouldn’t expose your pain since you’re supposed to be cool and act like you can handle things. Even though you may feel that no one can help you get over your pain, the important thing is to reach out. Here are some positive ways to deal with pain.
●____37____ Talking about what hurts is an important first step. Even if you feel that no one can do anything to make the hurt go away, talking to someone you trust can ease the weight of painful feelings.
●Keep a journal. This is a good way to measure your progress in “getting to the other side” of things. ____38____ That way when you read how you felt about something a week or a month ago, and then read how you feel about it today, you’ll see how you are progressing. Should you feel things aren’t getting better, that is good information, too. ____39____
●Be extra good to yourself. Especially when life hurts, it’s time to take extra good care of yourself. Get enough rest, eat properly, get the exercise your body needs to burn off the tension, listen to soft music, and don’t forget those extra hugs for your pet. ____40____ Be sure to be that for yourself, as well.
●See a professional counselor (咨询师). Seeing a trained professional is an excellent way to work through painful times. Ask your parents or school counselor to help you find one.

【答案】36. D 37. B 38. C 39. G 40. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述的是如何积极应对和处理生活中的痛苦。
【36题详解】
空后“Maybe you feel you shouldn’t expose your pain since you’re supposed to be cool and act like you can handle things.(也许你觉得你不应该暴露自己的痛苦，因为你应该表现得很酷，表现得好像你能处理好事情)”说明有些人可能觉得不应该暴露自己的痛苦，因为他们应该表现得冷静并能处理事情，空格处也应该说明有的人为什么不肯暴露自己的痛苦，D选项“Maybe you believe that no one will understand you.(也许你相信没有人会理解你)”说明有些人可能认为没有人能理解他们的痛苦，因此不愿意寻求帮助或暴露自己的脆弱，与空后的内容相契合，共同构成了对错误心态的描述，并为后文提出积极应对方法做了铺垫，因此D选项符合语境，故选D。
【37题详解】
空格处是本段主题句，由空后“Talking about what hurts is an important first step. Even if you feel that no one can do anything to make the hurt go away, talking to someone you trust can ease the weight of painful feelings.(谈论伤害是重要的第一步。即使你觉得没有人可以做任何事情来消除伤害，和你信任的人交谈可以减轻痛苦的感觉)”说明了要和人交谈，把自己内心的想法说出来，不要藏在心里，B选项“Don’t keep it all inside.(不要把一切都藏在心里)”说明了不要把一切都藏在心里，概括了本段主要内容，可作为主题句，故选B。
【38题详解】
空前“Keep a journal. This is a good way to measure your progress in “getting to the other side” of things.(●写日记。这是衡量你在“到达另一边”方面的进步的好方法。)”说明了要写日记，空格处需要填入的句子应该与写日记这一行为直接相关，并且为接下来的“That way when you read how you felt about something a week or a month ago, and then read how you feel about it today, you’ll see how you are progressing.(这样，当你阅读一周前或一个月前你对某事的感受，然后阅读今天你对某事的感受时，你会看到你是如何进步的)”这句话提供背景或说明，选项C“Be sure to date each entry.(一定要注明每个条目的日期)”明确指出了在写日记时要确保每个条目都有日期。这个建议与接下来的内容高度相关，因为有了日期，你才能准确地回顾和比较不同时间点的感受，从而衡量自己的进步，因此C选项承上启下，符合语境，故选C。
【39题详解】
前文描述了通过写日记并对比不同时间点的感受来衡量自己的进步。接下来，文本提到了“Should you feel things aren’t getting better, that is good information, too.(如果你觉得情况没有好转，这也是一个好信息)”，这句话暗示了即使情况没有改善，这也是一个有用的信息点。空格处需要填入的句子应该与前文关于“情况没有改善”的信息点相衔接，并解释为什么这也是一个好的信息。选项G“It means you may need more outside support than you’re getting.(这意味着你可能需要更多的外部支持)”正好符合这一要求。它解释了为什么情况没有改善可能是一个好的信息：这意味着你可能需要更多的外部支持，这为你提供了一个行动的方向，即寻找或增加支持。因此，G选项承接上文，符合语境，故选G。
【40题详解】
空前说到“●Be extra good to yourself. Especially when life hurts, it’s time to take extra good care of yourself. Get enough rest, eat properly, get the exercise your body needs to burn off the tension, listen to soft music, and don’t forget those extra hugs for your pet.(●对自己特别好。尤其是当生活受到伤害时，是时候格外照顾好自己了。充足的休息，合理的饮食，做一些身体需要的运动来燃烧你的紧张情绪，听听轻柔的音乐，不要忘记给你的宠物额外的拥抱)”，这些行为都是为了缓解紧张情绪，促进自我关爱，空格处应该说明这种自我关爱的重要性，E选项“You know what a source of comfort you are to others.(你知道你给别人带来了多大的安慰)”强调了人们通常知道如何使他人感到舒适和安慰。这里的隐含意思是，既然我们知道如何为别人提供安慰，我们也应该学会为自己提供同样的安慰和关爱。这加强了文本中“对自己特别好”的主题，并鼓励读者像对待他人一样善待自己，因此E选项承接上文，符合语境。故选E。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了2024年巴黎奥运会和残奥会的吉祥物——弗里吉亚帽，它承载的是法国的精神和价值观，帽子被设计成两种版本，分别代表奥运会和残奥会。
【56题详解】
考查名词。句意：弗里吉亚帽将成为奥运会和残奥会的吉祥物，以庆祝法国大革命的精神，它不仅是革命、自由和斗争的象征，而且是几个世纪以来从巴黎圣母院到埃菲尔铁塔都能看到的标志。分析句子可知，空处和revolution以及struggles并列，作of的宾语，应用free的名词形式freedom，意为“自由”，是不可数名词。故填freedom。
【57题详解】
考查冠词。句意：弗里吉亚帽将成为奥运会和残奥会的吉祥物，以庆祝法国大革命的精神，它不仅是革命、自由和斗争的象征，而且是几个世纪以来从巴黎圣母院到埃菲尔铁塔都能看到的标志。the Eiffel Tower是固定表达，意为“埃菲尔铁塔”。故填the。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：更具体地说，是自由法兰西共和国的艺术代表玛丽安娜戴的著名红帽子。分析句子可知，空处作cap的后置定语，是非谓语动词，wear“穿，戴”和cap逻辑上是被动关系，应用wear的过去分词形式。故填worn。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：弗里热旨在展示体育不仅可以改变一切，而且它也应该在我们的社会中占有重要的地位。固定短语aim to do sth.表示“旨在做某事”，空处应用show的不定式形式，作宾语。故填to show。
【60题详解】
考查代词。句意：弗里热旨在展示体育不仅可以改变一切，而且它也应该在我们的社会中占有重要的地位。分析句子可知，空处是修饰society的成分，应用形容词性物主代词our。故填our。
【61题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：相比于那些长期以来一直是其他奥运会首选的动物——比如2022年北京冬奥会的“冰墩墩”大熊猫，弗里吉亚帽更受欢迎。分析句子可知，空处引导限制性定语从句，修饰先行词animals，先行词指物，在从句中作主语，应用关系代词that或which作引导词。故填that/which。
【62题详解】
考查序数词。句意：相比于那些长期以来一直是其他奥运会首选的动物——比如2022年北京冬奥会的“冰墩墩”大熊猫，弗里吉亚帽更受欢迎。根据空前的“the”和空后的“choice”可知，空处应用序数词first，意为“第一位的，最先的”，the first choice意为“第一选择”，指优先选用的选项或方案。故填first。
【63题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：这是一种信仰，承载着法国的价值观，是随着时间的推移而建立起来的。分析句子可知，空处作that引导的定语从句的谓语，主语that指代先行词a kind of belief，为单数概念，此处描述通常性的事实，时态应用一般现在时，且主语是单数，carry“承载”应用第三人称单数形式。故填carries。
【64题详解】
考查介词。句意：当一种民族精神与奥林匹克精神相结合时，吉祥物也被包装成近万种产品，从玩具到服装、电子产品和皮箱。根据“a national spirit is combined”和“the Olympic spirit”可推知，此处用固定短语be combined with表示“与……结合”。故填with。
【65题详解】
考查连词。句意：当一种民族精神与奥林匹克精神相结合时，吉祥物也被包装成近万种产品，从玩具到服装、电子产品和皮箱。分析句子可知，空处连接前后并列的名词clothes、electronics和trunks，应用意为“和，与”的并列连词and。故填and。

67. 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。
The only life that Jeffrey had ever known was on the streets. He has been homeless since his parents fell ill and passed away.
As much as he tried, Jeffrey couldn’t find a permanent job when he grew up. He only had a few clothes, blankets and shoes. With no family or friends, he relied on his local shelter and soup kitchen. He would often ask the workers at a local burger (汉堡包) place for their leftovers to survive.
Jeffrey knew many people in the area and would help new tenants (房客) move into their apartments for a bit of money. He desperately wanted to find a job, but he knew he didn’t look the part (穿着与工作相宜). One day, as Jeffrey was looking through the garbage can outside the burger shop for food, he noticed a black object near the surface.
He picked it up and realized it was a wallet. Maybe one of the cooks dropped it, he thought. However, when he looked inside, he could recognize the I. D. picture. The wallet belonged to Alan, an old man who stayed a few blocks away.
Alan’s cards and cash were still inside the wallet, meaning he’d lost it by mistake. There was also a check for $3,000 inside the wallet. “This is life-changing money. I could get some fresh clothes, maybe rent a small studio apartment and finally get a job,” Jeffrey said to himself.
Jeffrey sat down with the wallet in his hands and decided to think about it first. He remembered asking Alan for money a few weeks before. Alan didn’t give him money because he would have an operation soon. Jeffrey knew he couldn’t live with the guilt of knowing a man would suffer if he took the money for himself. Even though he initially felt that the check may have been a gift, he quickly realized that it was more of a test.

【答案】One possible version:
Jeffrey walked a few blocks to Alan’s office. Alan worked alone. As Alan answered the door, Jeffrey greeted him straight away, telling him this time he didn’t come for any money. He told Alan he had dropped his wallet outside the burger joint in the garbage, presenting the wallet to Alan. Alan grabbed the wallet and checked for its contents with tears running down his face. He told Jeffrey the money would be used for his operation next week. To Jeffrey’s surprise, Alan gave him a big hug.
A few weeks later, Jeffrey was outside the burger joint eating some leftover fries. He could hear footsteps approaching before he heard Alan greet him. Alan told Jeffrey that his operation had been a success and that he had fully recovered. Jeffrey could see that Alan looked much healthier, which made him happy. Alan told Jeffrey that he wanted to help him out. In the following weeks, Alan helped Jeffrey find work as a waiter at a nearby restaurant. Within a year, Jeffrey was able to save enough money to start renting a small apartment close to work.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了杰弗里是一个无家可归的年轻人，自从父母去世后一直在街头生活，努力寻找工作但无果。他依赖社会援助和施舍来维持生计。一天，他在垃圾桶里意外发现了一个钱包，里面装有现金、信用卡和一张可以改变他生活的3000美元支票。在面临将钱包据为己有的诱惑时，杰弗里回想起了自己向钱包主人艾伦求助却被拒绝的情景，因为艾伦即将接受手术。杰弗里意识到，将钱据为己有会让他承受道德上的痛苦和负罪感。
