Recycling is beneficial for the environment. It can also benefit a community in surprising ways. Mateo Lange, 15, knows this well. On weekends, he can be found sorting through glass and plastic bottles and aluminum cans in his hometown of Indian River, Michigan, where he leads a community recycling program.
Mateo launched the program in 2020 when he was just 11 and in the sixth grade, playing baseball with the Northern Michigan Cyclones, a new team that needed funds for traveling to tournaments. Mateo came up with a plan to deal with this need.
“There were cans and bottles always thrown around the road,” he recalled. In Michigan, these can be collected and exchanged for cash. With his dad’s help, Mateo started a bottle and can drive. It raised$7,500. “We collected so much money in just a few weeks,” he says. “So I thought, why not keep this going as long as we can ”
Since then, Mateo says, his recycling effort has raised $350,000 and helped at least 50 local youth groups. It has also prevented more than 2 million bottles and cans from littering the roadside and polluting Michigan’s lakes and rivers.
In 2023, Mateo was awarded a Gloria Barron Prize for Young Heroes. “It feels humbling,” Mateo says, when asked about all he’s accomplished with his cleanup effort. “I am happy knowing that all these teams and clubs and kids around the community are benefiting.”
Mateo believes everyone can — and should — be of service. “Just do a little bit to help make the world a little bit of a better place,” he says. “Be creative,” he adds. “Have an idea and build on it.”
24．What motivated Mateo Lange to start his recycling program
A．He wanted to clean up his community.
B．His team needed money to travel to tournaments.
C．He was inspired by his father’s love for the environment.
D．He was competing for the Gloria Barron Prize for Young Heroes.
25．How did Mateo’s recycling program benefit his community
A．It created jobs for local residents.
B．It helped build new recreational facilities.
C．It reduced the need for new beverage distributors.
D．It prevented pollution of Michigan’s lakes and rivers.
26．What’s Mateo’s attitude toward his achievements
A．Proud and excited. B．Humble and satisfied.
C．Ambitious and determined. D．Calm and unconcerned.

A．Donate money to local charities. B．Start a recycling program like his.
C．Volunteer for community events. D．Be creative and build on their ideas.

It is William Shakespeare, the great coiner, who is given credit for the word. Coriolanus, one of his characters, compares going into exile（流放）to a “lonely dragon” retiring to his cave. He was talking about a physical state: someone who was lonely was simply alone. Then, thanks to the Romantic poets, the word took on emotional meanings. Loneliness became a condition of the soul. For William Wordsworth, who famously “wandered lonely as a cloud”, the natural world offered an escape from negative feelings of loneliness—a host of flowers could provide “cheerful company”. Today, loneliness is often seen as a serious public- health problem, creating the feeling of disconnection.
In his book Solitude, Netta Weinstein, a psychology professor wonders the rewards of time spent alone. He begins with an account of stories of solitude created by figures such as Michel Montaigne, a writer, and Edward Hopper, a ta then draw on laboratory work, interviews and surveys to clarify how being alone really affects the human mind.
It is common to treat loneliness and solitude as synonyms（同义词）, but they are not. The author suggests that what is negatively described as one state can be positively expressed as the other. Loneliness, often perceived as negative, can potentially be transformed into a positive experience of solitude. To this end he emphasizes how being alone can help restore people and offers practical advice. In a noisy world, he argues, people should make time to be alone, away from attention- grabbing motives.
The book’s interviewees mostly regard a lack of company as a contributor to autonomy. But this depends on whether solitude is desirable or not. Enforced solitude, such as that experienced by prisoners, typically leads to nothing but suffering. Elective solitude, by contrast, affords space for self- reflection. It can open the door to “peak experiences” such as wonder, harmony, and happiness. In a highly- connected digital age, however, many readers do not fancy their chances of ever taking a long enough break to have such experiences.
28．How does paragraph 1 introduce the concept of loneliness
A．By tracing its development. B．By analyzing causes.
C By making a point to be argued. D．By sharing a romantic story.
29．What does Netta Weinstein’s book Solitude focus on
A．The various terms of solitude. B．The soc ietal impact of solitude.
C．The long- standing history of solitude. D．The psychological benefits of solitude.
30．Netta describes the state of loneliness as ________.
A．stressful B．essential C．changeable D．negative
31．What does Netta most probably agree with according to the last paragraph
A．Enforced solitude is a matter of choice.
B．Enforced solitude contributes to autonomy.
C．Elective solitude is rare in the digital world.
D．Elective solitude interrupts peak experiences.
D
Evolution can perform extraordinary makeovers; today’s airborne songbirds evolved from the wingless, earthbound dinosaurs that wandered millions of years ago. But some organisms seem to be unchanged — in other words, escape natural selection. The coelacanth, a modern- day fish, is nearly identical to its 410- million- year- old fossils.
Scientists have long wondered how these species do so. It has been assumed that natural selection keeps some species unchanged by selecting for moderate or average qualities（stabilizing selection）rather than selecting for more extreme qualities that would cause a species to change（directional selection）.
But a study published in the National Academy of Sciences USA contradicts this idea, showing that evolution constantly favors different qualities in seemingly unchanging animals to improve short- term survival. In the long term, though, “all that evolution cancels out and leads to no change,” says the study’s lead author, James Stroud.
Stroud and his colleagues studied for lizard（蜥蜴）species; all relatively unchanged for 20 million years. The researchers caught members of these populations every six months for three years. They measured each lizard’s head size, leg length, mass and height, as well as the size of its sticky toes, noting which individuals survived. Stroud expected to observe stabilizing selection at work preserving moderate qualities. Instead he saw clearer evidence of directional selection: some lizards with unique characteristics, such as stickier toes, survived better.
“The study offers a good explanation for why we see what we think is stabilizing selection,” says Tadashi Fukami, an ecologist studying evolution at Stanford University. Many new qualities are evolving in the short term, but they don’t provide a crucial advantage over the long term. In other words, species staying unchanged may simply have found the best possible combination of qualities for lasting success in their environment. So what happens when the lizards’ environment changes more dramatically To help answer this bigger question, Stroud is still making trips to visit the lizards.
32．Why does the author mention the “coelacanth fish” in paragraph 1
A．To demonstrate the power of evolution. B．To add evidence to natural selection.
C．To give an example of unchanged species. D．To prove species’ extraordinary makeovers.
33．What’s the focus of paragraph 2
A．Unsolved mysteries. B．A common belief.
C．A sharp contrast. D．Unique characteristics.
34．How did Stroud conduct his research
A．By analyzing lizard fossils. B．By tracking research objects.
C．By illustrating stabilizing selection. D．By categorizing qualities of lizards.
35．What will Stroud probably do in the future
A．Make trips to visit lizard experts. B．Summarize average features of lizards.
C．Reveal the best combinations of qualities. D．Examine lizards under extreme conditions.

Learning by experience, also known as experience- based learning, means gaining knowledge and skills through direct practice. 36 In this way, they can get new skills and knowledge that they can use in their professional role. If you’re considering experience- based learning, you may be curious about its benefits.
Learning by experience allows professionals to directly apply what they’ve been taught to their field. This can help them adapt to different roles and activities. 37 For example, if you’re learning to operate a cash register, direct experience helps you get familiar with the various screen options you might use every day.
You can use experiential learning to grow your knowledge base for the field you want to join. 38 It may also help you demonstrate your commitment and expertise to a potential employer. For example, learning by experience in a financial role may help you learn common equations and software that you might use daily as an advanced professional.
As a professional undergoing experience- based learning, you may move from one role to another within an organization. You may meet different professionals who hold other roles and work in various industries. 39
40 For example, if you work in a warehouse, you might realize you excel at sorting items and recording where they go, but you could use more training on operating machinery. Earning experience in several roles allows you to learn what duties best fit your skills and where you might practice and learn more.
A．There are several types of experiential learning opportunities.
B．Now they can focus on finding people who don’t need much training.

On Monday morning I wore my favourite dress to school for the first time since I had started at Edison Middle School. I said good morning to our headmaster, Mr. Jordan, at the school entrance. With a genuine smile that reached his eyes, he greeted me by name, inquiring about my weekend and showing a sincere interest in my day ahead.
That was really comforting! It was the day of the poetry festival, and I was excited. At my old school, I had w on the poetry award every year. I’m horrible at sports, and too shy to be popular — but I do write good poetry, although I never told anyone here about it yet. The poem I wrote for the Edison Festival was about my dad. I wished I would surprise my classmates and Mrs. Baker, my English teacher.
When Mrs. Baker called on me, I was so nervous that I had to swallow about ten times before I could speak. But once I started, I didn’t even bother to look at my paper. I’d spent so much time perfecting the rhymes that I knew the poem by heart.
I had just started the third line when I noticed Mrs. Baker’s expression change. She looked at me with a mixture of appreciation and disbelief. I stopped in the middle of a word and waited for her to say something.
“Linda, you are supposed to be reading a poem you made up yourself, not reciting something you learned. That is called plagiarism（剽窃）!”
“Oh, but it’s an original one. I did make it up; it’s about my dad.”I heard a “Yeah, right!” from somewhere behind me, and someone else laughed. I opened my mouth to explain, but no words came out.
“Perhaps you could step out and gather your thoughts, and when you feel ready, we can discuss this with a clear mind,” said Mrs. Baker.
I’d been standing outside for 5minutes when Mr. Jordan came over to ask me what happened.
Almost in tears, I poured out the whole story. Inspired by his words, I gathered my courage and turned back to the classroom.

Almost in tears, I poured out the whole story. With a lump in my throat, I explained how much I loved poetry and that I had never even considered plagiarizing. Mr. Jordan listened attentively, nodding occasionally as I spoke. When I finished, he smiled gently and reassured me that it was okay to feel sad, “Sharing your creativity is a brave thing to do, Linda,” he said warmly. “Even if it didn’t go as planned, your courage is admirable. Remember, talent like yours is a gift. Trust in your own abilities and let your work speak for itself.” His words comforted me, giving me a sense of affirmation I desperately needed in that moment of doubt and frustration.
Inspired by his words. I gathered my courage and turned back to the classroom. Mrs. Baker looked up as I entered, her expression now softened with understanding. Taking a deep breath, I assured everyone the poem was indeed my own creation and explained how I had crafted the poem about my father with love and care, “I’d like to recite it again,” I said with determination, This time, I recited the poem slowly and clearly, letting the emotions behind the words flow naturally. As I finished, there was a moment of silence before applause broke out, genuine and warm. “Sorry for the misunderstanding and thank you for sharing that,” Mrs. Baker said sincerely. “Your poem is really touching.” The tension lifted, and I felt a sense of pride knowing that I did surprise my classmates and Mrs. Baker.
