Three years ago, Sather Gowdy, a student at Gonzaga University, went through a break- up. Then two of his close friends passed away. So Sather withdrew, avoiding going out.
Everything changed one day as Sather was returning home from class. An elderly woman, standing by her open trunk full of groceries, asked him to help her. He helped her get them inside. “Walking home, I realized my heart feeling lighter for the first time in weeks,” Sather says. He made a decision not to close himself off, but perform kindness every day for his community.
Sather starts small. He once noticed his neighbor’s fence was damaged and wanted to fix it, but he didn’t know how. “Lack of knowledge didn’t stop me!” he says. “I learned online, bought a hammer and some nails, and repaired it.” As the movement has grown, so have Sather’s responsibilities. He dedicates several hours each day to finding ways to serve others— cleaning up the community or assisting elderly neighbors with yard work and other tasks.
“Serving others isn’t always fun,” Sather says. “It’s hard work to remain committed to spreading kindness through serving others. But even on the toughest days, seeing the smiles on my neighbors’ faces makes it worthwhile.”
“Think of something that everyone complains about and then go do it” Sather recommends. An alley near his house, for example, was constantly filled with trash. Neighbors talked about how much they hated it, yet no one did anything about it. Sather spent several hours daily for two weeks cleaning it.
“When I was done, I saw increased joy and pride in our neighborhood,” Sather says. Seven months later, the alley is still clean. Sather often sees neighbors checking on it, picking up lingering garbage or cutting back weeds. “Start small. You’ll be amazed at your impact,” says Sather.
4. What pulled Sather out of the state of being separate
A. The positive impact of the class on him. B. The elderly lady’s practical suggestions.
C. The timely kindness from the community. D. The sense of achievement from being helpful.
5. What is the main idea of paragraph 3
A. How Sather felt about his behaviour. B. How Sather helps the community.
C. Why Sather finds ways to serve others. D. What Sather needed to fix his neighbor’s fence.
6. What can we learn from Sather’s story
A. Doing good starts with ourselves. B. Work together to help the elderly.
C. Being proud helps to serve others. D. Help others to make them stronger.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. His search for the simplest joy B. His pursuit of the community’s happiness
CHe healed his pain with acts of kindness D. He changed the community with his efforts
C
A study led by UC Riverside (UCR) atmospheric scientists predicts that unchecked carbon emissions(排放物) will force tropical rains to shift northward in the coming decades, which would profoundly impact the regions near the Earth's equator.
The northward rain shift is caused by complex atmospheric changes. These changes are driven by carbon emissions, which in turn influence the formation of tropical convergence(汇集) zones. Those zones are essentially atmospheric engines that drive about a third of the world’s rainfall, which Antony P. Thomas, a professor of climate change and sustainability at UCR reported in a paper published in the journal Nature Climate Change.
Tropical regions on either side the equator, such as central African nations, northern South America, and Pacific island states would be the most affected. Major crops in these regions include coffee, cocoa, palm oil, bananas, sugarcane, tea, mangoes, and pineapples.
Tropical rainforests can have as much as 14 feet of rain a year. “The rainfall change is enormous,” Antony said. “It's a very heavy rainfall region. So, a small shift will cause big changes in the economy of the societies. It will affect many regions.”
Antony and his colleagues used advanced computer models to predict the atmospheric influence of carbon dioxide emissions from continued burning of fossil fuels and other sources.” This climate model included many components of the atmosphere, ocean, sea ice, and land. All these components are interacting with each other,” he said. “Basically, we try to simulate the real world. In the model, we can increase our carbon dioxide emissions from pre-industrial levels to much higher levels.”
The analysis accounted for how carbon emissions influence the amount of radiant energy at the top of atmosphere. It also considered the changes in sea ice, water vapor and cloud formation. These and other factors resulted in conditions that push the rain- forming convergence zones northward by as much as 0.2 degrees on average.
8. What may be the main cause of the rain shift
A. The rainforests. B. Carbon emissions.
C. The Earth's equator. D. Economic growth.
9. How does Antony feel about the rain shift
A. Confused. B. Grateful. C. Worried. D. Indifferent.
10. Which word can best describe the study
A. Comprehensive. B. Widespread. C. Fruitful. D. Historic.
11. What can be inferred from the text
A. The rain shift is unrelated to human activities.
B. The rain shift threatens equatorial agriculture.
C. The study’s computer models were not precise enough.
D. The impact of the rain shift will be limited to remote areas.
D
Engineer Kerstin G pfrich builds machines. But rather than building metal devices, she makes tiny ones to work inside our cells. G pfrich leads a research group focusing on the “engineering of life” at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg, Germany.
Our cells are already full of nature- made machines carrying out the daily tasks of living. Many are proteins. But sometimes our natural protein- machines don’t work right. Broken biomachinery causes many diseases, So scientists are considering how they might fix faulty proteins. They might wire up artificial nerves to replace damaged ones.
And the potential for such devices goes beyond making repairs. Scientists are looking at how to give cells new abilities, hoping that by developing enough novel biomachines, they might make new forms of life. So if a protein is faulty, why not make a new one in the lab
Back when Frankie Rawson was a student, he asked his teachers that. Now a nanotechnologist at the University of Nottingham in England, Rawson has answered his own question, “It turns out that we’ re not very good at artificially re- creating what biology does.”
Biologists like Rawson and G pfrich found a workaround. They’re creating nanomachines that do the same jobs as proteins. With the right design, these nanomachines can do so easier at less cost. They also can be more stable using fewer ingredients.
To build them, researchers work with many types of materials. Rawson uses carbon nanotubes. G pfrich even uses biological molecules, such as DNA. Rather than heal old or damaged body parts, she’d replace them with new ones.
Scientists have learned to make small synthetic (合成的) biology fixes. Our cells must work together. “Think of them like the wiring of a house,” Rawson says. Flip a switch, and a light turns on. That’s a big- scale effect. But each small piece in the system must work properly to get that end effect.
12. What does paragraph 2 intend to tell us
A. The cost of repairing proteins. B. The prospect for nature- made machines.
C. The challenge of natural protein- machines. D. The background of creating new biomachines.
13. Why is Rawson mentioned in paragraph 4
A. To present scientists’ failure in biology. B. To convey his idea of life engineering.
C. To show making proteins in the lab is hard. D. To explain why nanotechnology is important.
14. Which can best explain the underlined word “workground” in paragraph 5
A. A new dilemma. B. A difficult condition.
C. An alternative solution. D. An unbelievable story.
15. What does the last paragraph mainly express
A. The effect of proteins on our body. B. The combination of the wiring of a house.
C. The complexity of the human body system. D. The precision required for synthetic biology.

On the eve of the New Year, I was shopping in a local supermarket, buying supplies for the festive season. The store was full of people, who were wrapped up in the holiday spirit. After I had gathered everything on my list, I made my way home, with a heart full of expectation for the celebrations ahead.
As I walked through a quiet park, I noticed an old man sitting alone on a bench. He looked tired and seemed to be shaking in the cold. His clothes were worn, and his eyes held a distant gaze, as if lost in thought. The sight moved me deeply, and without a second thought, I approached him.
“Excuse me, sir, what happened to you ” I said gently. He looked at me and said, “Nothing. I'm just missing those days when I had my family with me. ” Obviously, the old man lived alone. On the day when everyone was celebrating, he had to suffer loneliness. I continued, “Would you like to join me in the New Year's celebration at my home It's getting cold out here.” “Thank you, my dear,” he replied, “but I have my own little place where I like to be on this special night.”
I respected his wishes but wanted to do something to ensure he was not alone. I asked for his address, promising to check on him later. He hesitated for a moment before sharing it with me.
Back home, I busied myself in the kitchen, preparing a heart y meal that could warm the soul. As I cooked, I also picked out a small gift, a soft woolen blanket and a box of homemade cookies, hoping they would bring the old man comfort.
With the meal packed in a thermal(保暖的) container and the gift in hand, I set out for the old man's home. His home was a small one, which was in a quiet corner of a neighborhood. I knocked on his door, and when he opened it, the surprise on his face was evident. “I hope you don't mind,” I said, “I've brought you some dinner and something to keep you warm.”

Three years ago, Sather Gowdy, a student at Gonzaga University, went through a break- up. Then two of his close friends passed away. So Sather withdrew, avoiding going out.
Everything changed one day as Sather was returning home from class. An elderly woman, standing by her open trunk full of groceries, asked him to help her. He helped her get them inside. “Walking home, I realized my heart feeling lighter for the first time in weeks,” Sather says. He made a decision not to close himself off, but perform kindness every day for his community.
Sather starts small. He once noticed his neighbor’s fence was damaged and wanted to fix it, but he didn’t know how. “Lack of knowledge didn’t stop me!” he says. “I learned online, bought a hammer and some nails, and repaired it.” As the movement has grown, so have Sather’s responsibilities. He dedicates several hours each day to finding ways to serve others— cleaning up the community or assisting elderly neighbors with yard work and other tasks.
“Serving others isn’t always fun,” Sather says. “It’s hard work to remain committed to spreading kindness through serving others. But even on the toughest days, seeing the smiles on my neighbors’ faces makes it worthwhile.”
“Think of something that everyone complains about and then go do it,” Sather recommends. An alley near his house, for example, was constantly filled with trash. Neighbors talked about how much they hated it, yet no one did anything about it. Sather spent several hours daily for two weeks cleaning it.
“When I was done, I saw increased joy and pride in our neighborhood,” Sather says. Seven months later, the alley is still clean. Sather often sees neighbors checking on it, picking up lingering garbage or cutting back weeds. “Start small. You’ll be amazed at your impact,” says Sather.
4. What pulled Sather out of the state of being separate
A. The positive impact of the class on him. B. The elderly lady’s practical suggestions.
C. The timely kindness from the community. D. The sense of achievement from being helpful.
5. What is the main idea of paragraph 3
A. How Sather felt about his behaviour. B. How Sather helps the community.
C. Why Sather finds ways to serve others. D. What Sather needed to fix his neighbor’s fence.
6. What can we learn from Sather’s story
A. Doing good starts with ourselves. B. Work together to help the elderly.
C. Being proud helps to serve others. D. Help others to make them stronger.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. His search for the simplest joy B. His pursuit of the community’s happiness
C. He healed his pain with acts of kindness D. He changed the community with his efforts
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. C

A study led by UC Riverside (UCR) atmospheric scientists predicts that unchecked carbon emissions(排放物) will force tropical rains to shift northward in the coming decades, which would profoundly impact the regions near the Earth's equator.
The northward rain shift is caused by complex atmospheric changes. These changes are driven by carbon emissions, which in turn influence the formation of tropical convergence(汇集) zones. Those zones are essentially atmospheric engines that drive about a third of the world’s rainfall, which Antony P. Thomas, a professor of climate change and sustainability at UCR reported in a paper published in the journal Nature Climate Change.
Tropical regions on either side the equator, such as central African nations, northern South America, and Pacific island states would be the most affected. Major crops in these regions include coffee, cocoa, palm oil, bananas, sugarcane, tea, mangoes, and pineapples.
Tropical rainforests can have as much as 14 feet of rain a year. “The rainfall change is enormous” Antony said. “It's a very heavy rainfall region. So, a small shift will cause big changes in the economy of the societies. It will affect many regions.”
Antony and his colleagues used advanced computer models to predict the atmospheric influence of carbon dioxide emissions from continued burning of fossil fuels and other sources.” This climate model included many components of the atmosphere, ocean, sea ice, and land. All these components are interacting with each other,” he said. “Basically, we try to simulate the real world. In the model, we can increase our carbon dioxide emissions from pre-industrial levels to much higher levels.”
The analysis accounted for how carbon emissions influence the amount of radiant energy at the top of atmosphere. It also considered the changes in sea ice, water vapor and cloud formation. These and other factors resulted in conditions that push the rain- forming convergence zones northward by as much as 0.2 degrees on average.
8. What may be the main cause of the rain shift
A. The rainforests. B. Carbon emissions.
C. The Earth's equator. D. Economic growth.
9. How does Antony feel about the rain shift
A. Confused. B. Grateful. C. Worried. D. Indifferent.
10. Which word can best describe the study
A. Comprehensive. B. Widespread. C. Fruitful. D. Historic.
11. What can be inferred from the text
A. The rain shift is unrelated to human activities.
B. The rain shift threatens equatorial agriculture.
C. The study’s computer models were not precise enough.
D. The impact of the rain shift will be limited to remote areas.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章讲述一项研究预测，不受控制的碳排放将迫使热带降雨在未来几十年内向北移动，将对地球赤道附近的地区产生深远影响。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“These changes are driven by carbon emissions, which in turn influence the formation of tropical convergence(汇集) zones.(这些变化是由碳排放驱动的，而碳排放反过来又影响热带辐合带的形成。)”可知，雨带的移动主要是由碳排放引起的。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的““The rainfall change is enormous,” Antony said. “It’s a very heavy rainfall region. So, a small shift will cause big changes in the economy of the societies. It will affect many regions.”(“降雨量变化很大，”安东尼说。“这是一个雨量非常大的地区。所以，一个小的转变会引起社会经济的大变化。它将影响许多地区。”)可知，安东尼认为一个小小的转变会导致社会经济的巨大变化。它将影响许多地区。因此推断Antony对雨带的移动感到担忧。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“Antony and his colleagues used advanced computer models to predict the atmospheric influence of carbon dioxide emissions from continued burning of fossil fuels and other sources.” This climate model included many components of the atmosphere, ocean, sea ice, and land.(安东尼和他的同事使用先进的计算机模型来预测持续燃烧化石燃料和其他来源产生的二氧化碳排放对大气的影响。这个气候模型包括了大气、海洋、海冰和陆地的许多组成部分。)”可知，研究使用了“先进的计算机模型”以及考虑了多个影响因素,可见这项研究是全面的。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Tropical regions on either side the equator, such as central African nations, northern South America, and Pacific island states would be the most affected. Major crops in these regions include coffee, cocoa, palm oil, bananas, sugarcane, tea, mangoes, and pineapples.(赤道两侧的热带地区，如中非国家、南美洲北部和太平洋岛国，将受到最严重的影响。这些地区的主要作物包括咖啡、可可、棕榈油、香蕉、甘蔗、茶、芒果和菠萝。)”可知，热带地区主要农作物可能受影响，说明雨带的移动威胁了赤道地区的农业。故选B。

Engineer Kerstin G pfrich builds machines. But rather than building metal devices, she makes tiny ones to work inside our cells. G pfrich leads a research group focusing on the “engineering of life” at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg, Germany.
Our cells are already full of nature- made machines carrying out the daily tasks of living. Many are proteins. But sometimes our natural protein- machines don’t work right. Broken biomachinery causes many diseases, So scientists are considering how they might fix faulty proteins. They might wire up artificial nerves to replace damaged ones.
And the potential for such devices goes beyond making repairs. Scientists are looking at how to give cells new abilities, hoping that by developing enough novel biomachines, they might make new forms of life. So if a protein is faulty, why not make a new one in the lab
Back when Frankie Rawson was a student, he asked his teachers that. Now a nanotechnologist at the University of Nottingham in England, Rawson has answered his own question, “It turns out that we’ re not very good at artificially re- creating what biology does.”
Biologists like Rawson and G pfrich found a workaround. They’re creating nanomachines that do the same jobs as proteins. With the right design, these nanomachines can do so easier at less cost. They also can be more stable using fewer ingredients.
To build them, researchers work with many types of materials. Rawson uses carbon nanotubes. G pfrich even uses biological molecules, such as DNA. Rather than heal old or damaged body parts, she’d replace them with new ones.
Scientists have learned to make small synthetic (合成的) biology fixes. Our cells must work together. “Think of them like the wiring of a house,” Rawson says. Flip a switch, and a light turns on. That’s a big- scale effect. But each small piece in the system must work properly to get that end effect.
12. What does paragraph 2 intend to tell us
A. The cost of repairing proteins. B. The prospect for nature- made machines.
C. The challenge of natural protein- machines. D. The background of creating new biomachines.
13. Why is Rawson mentioned in paragraph 4
ATo present scientists’ failure in biology. B. To convey his idea of life engineering.
C. To show making proteins in the lab is hard. D. To explain why nanotechnology is important.
14. Which can best explain the underlined word “workground” in paragraph 5
A. A new dilemma. B. A difficult condition.
C. An alternative solution. D. An unbelievable story.
15. What does the last paragraph mainly express
A. The effect of proteins on our body. B. The combination of the wiring of a house.
C. The complexity of the human body system. D. The precision required for synthetic biology.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. D
【解析】

Broken biomachinery causes many diseases, So scientists are considering how they might fix faulty proteins. They might wire up artificial nerves to replace damaged ones.(我们的细胞已经充满了自然形成的机器，执行着生命活动的日常任务。其中许多是蛋白质。但有时我们的天然蛋白质机器会出现故障。生物机器损坏会引发许多疾病，因此科学家们正在考虑如何修复有缺陷的蛋白质。他们可能会用人工神经来替换受损的神经。)”可知，第二段作者想要介绍一下科学家们想要创造新型生物机器的背景知识，也就是希望用这种新型生物机器修复有缺陷的蛋白质和替换受损的神经。故选D。

推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Back when Frankie Rawson was a student, he asked his teachers that. Now a nanotechnologist at the University of Nottingham in England, Rawson has answered his own question, “It turns out that we’ re not very good at artificially re- creating what bi ology does.”(当Frankie Rawson还是学生的时候，他就问过老师这个问题。现在，作为英国诺丁汉大学的一名纳米技术专家，Rawson已经回答了自己的问题：“事实证明，我们在人工复制生物所做的事情方面并不擅长。”)”可知，第四段提到Rawson主要是因为他曾作为学生时向老师提出过关于在实验室制造新蛋白质的问题，而现在作为纳米技术专家的他回答了这个问题，指出“我们在人工复制生物所做的事情方面并不擅长”。这表明在实验室制造蛋白质是困难的。故选C。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词下文“They’re creating nanomachines that do the same jobs as proteins. With the right design, these nanomachines can do so easier at less cost. They also can be more stable using fewer ingredients.(他们正在创造能做蛋白质相同工作的纳米机器。有了正确的设计，这些纳米机器可以更容易、更廉价地完成工作。它们使用的成分更少，因此也可以更加稳定。)”可知，他们找到了一种解决方法来解决上文提到的不擅长人工复制生物的问题。由此可知，划线词workground为“解决方法”之意。选项A“A new dilemma (一个新的困境)”；选项B“A difficult condition (一个困难的状况)”；选项C“An alternative solution (一个替代的解决方案)”；选项D“An unbelievable story (一个不可思议的故事)”。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Scientists have learned to make small synthetic(合成的)biology fixes. Our cells must work together. “Think of them like the wiring of a house,” Rawson says.

On the eve of the New Year, I was shopping in a local supermarket, buying supplies for the festive season. The store was full of people, who were wrapped up in the holiday spirit. After I had gathered everything on my list, I made my way home, with a heart full of expectation for the celebrations ahead.
As I walked through a quiet park, I noticed an old man sitting alone on a bench. He looked tired and seemed to be shaking in the cold. His clothes were worn, and his eyes held a distant gaze, as if lost in thought. The sight moved me deeply, and without a second thought, I approached him.
“Excuse me, sir, what happened to you ” I said gently. He looked at me and said, “Nothing. I'm just missing those days when I had my family with me. ” Obviously, the old man lived alone. On the day when everyone was celebrating, he had to suffer loneliness. I continued, “Would you like to join me in the New Year's celebration at my home It's getting cold out here.” “Thank you, my dear,” he replied, “but I have my own little place where I like to be on this special night.”
I respected his wishes but wanted to do something to ensure he was not alone. I asked for his address, promising to check on him later. He hesitated for a moment before sharing it with me.
Back home, I busied myself in the kitchen, preparing a heart y meal that could warm the soul. As I cooked, I also picked out a small gift, a soft woolen blanket and a box of homemade cookies, hoping they would bring the old man comfort.
With the meal packed in a thermal(保暖) container and the gift in hand, I set out for the old man's home. His home was a small one, which was in a quiet corner of a neighborhood. I knocked on his door, and when he opened it, the surprise on his face was evident. “I hope you don't mind,” I said, “I've brought you some dinner and something to keep you warm.”

【答案】参考范文：
The old man invited me in warmly. We spent the evening sharing stories and laughter. The room was dimly lit, but the warmth of the meal and the company made it the coziest place. I learned about his life and his love for the simple joys that life offered. I handed him the gift and said, “Remember that you're not alone.” His eyes welled up with tears as he thanked me. “You’ve given me more than just a meal and a blanket,” he said. “You’ve given me the warmth of human kindness.”
At last, the old man wanted to give me something in return for my kindness. He walked towards a small drawer. He carefully opened it and took out a beautifully wrapped package. “This is a watch my family gave me many years ago,” he said. “It has brought me much comfort. Now, I want you to have it.” I refused to accept the gift, but he kept insisting that I do. Finally, I accepted it with gratitude. As I held the watch in my hand, I understood the true power of human connection and the lasting warmth that came from sharing the moments of compassion and generosity with others.
