On a school day in October, Glenmount Elementary librarian Erin Hauser is grabbing as many books as she can carry from the Ravens Bookmobile— at least50 or 60．
It’s one of many opportunities they have to engage with The Maryland Book Bank, a nonprofit that provides free books to students across the state who wouldn’t otherwise have access to them. “To order a new hardback picture book is $17.99, and if you have one, two or three children, that can be a heaven burden,” Hauser says.
The Book Bank has been serving the community since the late 1990s. Middle-income families have an average of 60 books at home, while some lower income families can only afford one or two, Feiring says. The Book Bank has worked to close that gap, partnering with some schools to give each child 20 books per year. That goal is vitally important. If students are not proficient readers by the end of third grade, they’ re four times more likely to drop out of high school, according to a 2012 report by the Annie E. Casey Foundation.
The Book Bank is volunteer run, and about 75% of funding comes from an online book-selling social enterprise that employs workers through Baltimore City’s Administration’s Office of Employment Development. The rest is provided by foundations and the community.
Feiring says he knew the Book Bank was having an impact when he learned how far some families were traveling for books and why. “In one case, a woman told us that she reads food ingredients to her child,” he says. “Others have told us that they read the mail— junk mail.”
Part of the Book Bank’s mission is to add to students’ home libraries. This mission includes ensuring students were sent books while they were at home learning virtually. Hauser says that across her seven years at Glenmount, she’s gotten 4,000 books from the Book Bank— many of which have been sent home with students to keep, which is very meaningful to them. “To me, it really showed that it’s not just a book,” Hauser says. “It’s that space that it creates in a child’s mind.”
24．What was Erin Hauser doing in the Ravens Bookmobile
A．Organizing a book sale event. B．Collecting books for her students.
C．Returning books to the mobile library. D．Conducting a reading workshop for children.
25．What factor might prevent some kids from getting books
A．High cost of new books.
B．Inability to order books online.
C．Limited selection of books at local stores.
D．Inaccessibility due to transportation limitations.
26．What is the main source of the funding of the Book Bank
A．Sales of hardback picture books. B．Foundations and community donations.
C．An online book-selling social enterprise. D．The Administration’s Office of Employment.
27．Which of the following can best describe the impact of the program
A．Far-reaching. B．Predictable.
C．Short-lived. D．Unidentifiable.

Best friends forever. We 90’s kids drew these words on our hands with markers and ink; most people I knew had at least one person they considered their BFF. Perhaps we imagined each other at weddings, meeting each other’s kids, and going on vacations to Antarctica someday.
These simple understandings of friendship are naturally challenged as we grow. It does appear that the number of long-term friendships is decreasing. As opposed to the ideal of lifelong friendships, more and more friendships seem limited in time. Sometimes, it is as simple as lost contact. With more people working remotely and fewer “third spaces” existing in the community, we see each other less, which can lead to losing touch. That was the primary reason individuals tend to drift apart from their friendships in the past.
Another reason may be less tolerance for conflict. In decades past, it seemed that waxes and wanes in friendship were expected. Most of these were not the end of the friendship. Today, there seems to be much less tolerance. We are quicker to block each other out or label one another “toxic”, even when the friendship might be valuable to us.
Social media trends have certainly sent a message that cutting someone off when they aren’t making you feel good is a positive thing to do. Yet is this always the case
There is a natural cycle in relationships involving connection, breaks, and repair. Relationship expert John Gottman has identified this reconnection as perhaps the most important part of the cycle because conflict is inevitable and can ultimately bring us closer. In friendships, we get close（connect）, have times of conflict（break）, and then work through that conflict through a reconnection（repair）. Otherwise, the friendship ends— and more and more, it seems, friendships are ending before repair is given any possibility.
Continuing a friendship through conflict can also help us learn things about ourselves that can be difficult to face, and enhance our lives. When we repeatedly disconnect from people who tell us things we don’t want to hear, we risk getting self-enclosed.
If you are looking to build capacities in repair, turn to essential skills that require practice.
28．What used to be the chief reason for people to distance themselves from friendships
A．Geographical moves. B．Personality changes.
C．Less tolerance for conflict. D．Increasing financial gap.
29．What does the underlined words “waxes and wanes” mean in paragraph 3
A．Rise and fall. B．Black and white.
C．Day and night. D．Give and take.
30．What might social media trends encourage
A．Building lifelong friendships. B．Accepting conflict in friendships.
C．Reconnecting with old friends. D．Cutting off unsupportive relations.
31．What might be discussed after the last paragraph
A．Causes of friendship conflicts. B．Importance of lifelong friendships.
C．Strategies for enhancing repair skills. D．Benefits of social media in friendships.

American literary giant Henry David Thoreau spent two years at Walden Pond, writing what would later be published as his book Walden.
Now, nearly 180 years later, his writings are teaching us that the Walden Pond of 2024 isn’t the Walden Pond of then. It’s not uncommon to see people enjoying Walden Pond nowadays. Swimming, kayaking, and even field trips are common activities there. But a walk around Walden Pond is a walk through history. Boston University Professor Richard Primack is using that history to his advantage. Primack is a professor of plant ecology and part of a team of researchers studying climate change in Massachusetts. One of their most valuable pieces of data is Thoreau’s book.
“Thoreau made these very detailed observations, libraries of his observations on flowering time, leafing out, bird arrival time, ice out times in Walden Pond. And so these scattered（零散的）tables are really what the basis is for building on our own set of observations,” said Primack.
The data paints a clear picture that winters are shorter, and springs are coming earlier. “Climate change is affecting Concord, Massachusetts,” said Primack. “Wildflowers are flowering about 10 days earlier. Trees are leafing out 14 days earlier. Trees are somewhat more responsive wildflowers.”
But perhaps the most concerning isn’t what we see, but rather what we don’t. “When we started to look at the flowering times of plants, we kept encountering wildflower species that we couldn’t find or that were extremely rare,” said Primack. Wildflowers like fringed orchids or ladyslipper orchids were written about by Thoreau, but Primack’s team couldn’t find any sign of them.
The species that had gone locally extinct were the cold-loving, northern wildflowers, while the species that tended to be persistent were the warm-loving, southern species.
When asked by WB if Thoreau should be revered in scientific circles the same way he’s revered in literature, Primack was absolute. “He should be. In Thoreau’s time and the decades after, people criticized him that he’s not a good scientist. We now know that was completely wrong. Thoreau was, in fact, a very accurate scientist,” he added.
32．Why do climate scientists turn to Thoreau’s book
A．It details natural event timings. B．It records Walden Pond’s history.
C．It reveals Concord’s ecosystem insights. D．It documents the popularity of Walden Pond.
33．What research finding concerns Primack’s team most
A．The delay in leafing out of trees B．The earlier arrival of spring in Concord.
C．The extinction of some wildflower species. D．The increase of warm-loving, southern plants.
34．What’s the Primack’s attitude towards Thoreau’s role as a scientist
A．Skeptical. B．Positive. C．Unclear. D．Opposed.
35．Which of the following can serve as the best title for the text
A．Walden Pond: A Modern Research Centre
B．Walden Pond: A Record Of Changing Seasons
C．Thoreau Comes To The Aid Of Climate Science
D．Thoreau’s Literary Significance: A Naturalist’s View

Being a global citizen means identifying with an ever-growing global community and actively contributing to positive growth within the community. It is important to identify with a global community. 36 Below are some suggestions for becoming an active global citizen;
Learn about current and past events.
37 You might have learned about past events in history, but brush up on world history by visiting your library and checking out history books about different cultures. To understand where the world is today, you need to see how past events have influenced the present. It is just as, if not more, important to stay updated on events happening all throughout the world.
38 .
It is important to respect the values of a global community and learn about them. Some values to learn about are human rights, poverty reduction, prevention of conflict between countries and sustainable economic growth. These values can be learned by visiting your local library, watching the news and searching for each country’s values online.
Read as much as possible.
You can learn about your own and other cultures by reading books, both fiction and nonfiction. 39
Learn about your purchases.
Unless you purposefully buy locally, there is a large chance that many things you own and buy come from other places in the world. 40 It might seem like a positive change because it has made some products cheap, but it can be negative if the employees who made these products don’t work in safe or fair conditions. Take a look at what you buy, see where they were made and learn about the conditions they were made in.
A．Discover the values of other cultures.
B．Support art, music and culture in your community.
C．Visit the library, subscribe to newspapers and watch the news.
D．For many people, volunteering locally can influence a global change.
E．Globalization has made trade, importing and exporting easier than ever
F．But it doesn’t mean you have to travel far or abandon your personal identity.
G．Reading offers insights into someone’s mind that is not possible in any other way.

On my bookshelf, next to the books I loved and the ones I never read, there was a dictionary. It wasn’t anything 41 , just a book that had been there forever.

I kept flipping（翻动）through the pages. “Grit” was about not giving up, even when things are hard. “Serendipity” was about good luck finding you when you least 48 it. And then there was “thrive”— about growing and doing well, even in the face of 49 .
It was as if the dictionary was speaking directly to my 50 , not only offering definitions but giving me a little 51 . I realized my dictionary wasn’t just a bunch of words. It was a book full of good 52 . It didn’t tell me everything would be okay, but it showed me how to find my way.
Now, my dictionary is more than just a book. It’s a 53 of strength. It tells me that when life gets me down, I can always 54 , find an answer, and keep moving forward. Because sometimes, the help we need is right in front of us, just 55 to be opened.

It was supposed to be a normal trip to the supermarket. My son was little, and it was getting close to noon, so I was rushing to my car trying to avoid a meltdown（融化）. The sun was streaming through the large windows, casting a warm glow on the fruits and vegetables, and for a moment, I felt a sense of contentment in the simple act of finishing the grocery shopping with my child. I remember feeling a sense of accomplishment as I got him into the car without any tears.
Then I went to start the car. However, I suddenly realized my keys were gone. After a few minutes of checking around, I realized that I must have locked them in the trunk（后备箱）with my bag. A wave of anxiety washed over me as I stared blankly at the car, the once inviting supermarket now a backdrop to my growing panic.
I wasn’t sure what to do, so I took my son out of his car seat and went back inside the store with all my groceries. I had to use their phone to call my husband for the spare key because my phone was in the bag I had locked in the trunk. After multiple calls and messages with no answer, I was getting upset. My son was tired and getting fussy（爱哭的）. I was exhausted from a sleepless night that all moms go through when their kids are teething. When he went into full-on crying, I felt the tears come down my face, too.
An employee at the store tapped me on the shoulder and asked me to come with her. I was panicked for a moment, thinking that I was going to be blamed and thrown into the storage area to keep us quiet. The employee— whose name I would later find out was Kelly— took me, to my surprise, to the Starbucks cafe that was inside the store. She asked me if I drank coffee. I said yes.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；

第四部分 第一节
Join in Sports for a Healthier Lifestyle
In our school, sports participation varies among students. A group of students is passionately involved in activities such as basketball, soccer, and track and field, while others tend to opt for less active pursuits. It’s a pity that a lack of exercise is becoming increasingly common, which can lead to health issues in the long run.
To encourage a fitter community, I suggest we organize more school sports events and offer a wider range of activities to meet different needs. Additionally, incorporating daily physical education classes into the curriculum could make a significant difference. Let’s all step up our game and make fitness a priority!
第四部分 第二节
Then she walked over to the counter and came back with one for me. I was so grateful for her coffee. And I told her how stupid I felt locking my keys in the car. After figuring out what was going on, she assured me that it happened to a lot of people. She said that it looked like I was having one of those days and that, as a mom, she had them, too. As we talked, my son settled into a sound sleep in my arms. Then she offered to help me contact my husband for the spare key.
With her help, my husband finally arrived. It was a huge relief to both of us. I was so grateful that Kelly had stayed by my side. Her presence was indeed a comforting anchor as we waited, sharing stories of motherhood and the unpredictable moments that come with it. As I handed Kelly a twenty-dollar bill, she waved it away with a gentle refusal. Instead, she told me that I could pay it forward to help any others who might be in trouble. I promised, and her smile grew. With a nod, she accepted my promise as the currency of goodwill.

M: Congratulations! I heard you passed your exams with flying colors!
W: Well, not quite. I still have another exam to take next week, and that has been causing me some headaches. But nobody said law school was going to be easy, right
Text 2
M: I’m sorry, we have to close the gym.
W: Oh, no. What happened
M: The whole place is flooded due to the continuous heavy rain. It has also knocked out the electricity, so there’s no light or heat, either.
Text 3
W: Oh, hi Jamie, I don’t often see you in the mornings. Where’s your bike
M: In my dad’s car. The wheel came loose, so he is taking it to get repaired.
W: I see. Well, it’s nice to have some company on the walk to school.

W: I don’t understand why I keep getting holes in my teeth, doctor. I barely touch sugar, and I brush them so carefully.
M: Other foods can cause damage, too. Do you eat a lot of sour fruits, such as oranges
W: Hmm... maybe that’s it.

W: Hi, I bought this dress here, and I absolutely love the color. But it’s just too big around my shoulders. Can I exchange it
M: That particular dress has sold out. But we have several other styles in that exact green. Shall I show you
W: Yes, please.
Text 6
M: Is everything okay, Sadie
W: Not really. Things are out of control!
M: Why What’s going on
W: I just have too much on my plate. We have a big conference next month, so work is crazy right now. My sister’s getting married this weekend, so I’m helping to organize that. And my exams are only weeks away, so I’m spending every spare moment revising. I have the energies, but no time!
M: Wow, that is a lot! But listen ... There will be a way through this. Let’s make some tea and I’ll help you make everything organized.

W: Yes, Uncle Mike. What do you want to talk about
M: I know you’re starting studies for your business degree this fall, Hillary. And before you leave town, start university, and begin adult life, I’d like you to work for our family’s business.
W: I can work at the restaurant. But I don’t know anything about cooking.
M: That’s no problem. You’ll be our newest host and assistant manager.
W: Wow, sounds so interesting!
M: You’ll work at our restaurant from the first week of June until the beginning of August. These months’ learning will lay a strong foundation for business for you. I promise.
W: I’ll do it. Experience is one of the best ways to learn.
M: Business is about what advantage we can offer others. We help suppliers by buying their food, materials, and equipment. Then, we satisfy customers by feeding them and treating them like family. The more advantages you provide, the more money you make. That’s business.
W: I’ve got much to learn from you, Uncle Mike.

W: Do you know anything that can live forever
M: Probably not. Why
W: I’m thinking about writing a new book, in which the main character lives forever. I know it’s not a particularly original idea and has been a feature of stories for ages. But I got my inspiration from a magazine article about a particular type of jellyfish that “cheats death”.
M: What Impossible!
W: It’s true! They’re able to turn into babies again whenever they become stressed, sick, or old. over and over again!
M: Wow, that’s amazing!
W: In my story, the scientists use these jellyfish to give humans the same ability. But the big question is that I don’t know how to make the character interesting enough to get readers to keep reading.
M: Trust me, the idea itself is amazing. I’d be excited to read that!

M: So, I’ve heard you’re off to Montreal in September.
W: That’s right. I can’t believe I’ll be leaving home for college in just two months!
M: What are you planning to study
W: Meteorology.
M: Is that the study of stars and planets
W: No, you’re thinking of astronomy. Meteorology is the study of weather systems and climate.
M: Right! So, what kind of job will you be able to get when you graduate Will you be giving the weather report on TV
W: Ha-ha! Possibly ... Who knows TV weather reporters are usually trained meteorologists. But there are plenty of other opportunities. I could become a research scientist, or a weather software developer... And a lot of private companies hire meteorologists, too. For example, airlines.
M: Really Interesting!
W: But what I’d really like to do is become a great “storm chaser”, like Tim Samaras. He tracked and followed tornadoes and hurricanes his whole life.
M: Why Isn’t that a rather dangerous job
W: It can be. Storm chasers go after weather events to study and document them. Their research furthers our understanding of weather patterns and helps improve early warning systems. Their work saves lives!
M: That’s wonderful. But I haven’t decided which major to choose. I’d like to have a gap year first before I go to college.

I’m a pretty serious, academic type of person. Therefore, people are often surprised when I tell them that I spend most weekends hanging out at a popular local shopping mall. However, the Starfield COEX Mall in Seoul isn’t an average shopping center. It’s different from other malls! As well as the usual stores, restaurants, and movie theaters, there is also a large gallery, with over 40,000 objects on show. I was totally amazed by its presence when I first visited there.
But, in terms of my personal enjoyment, the main attraction is definitely Starfield Library. This unique public library has two floors, connected by a number of amazing tall bookshelves, which often double as artworks. The staff often decorate the library by arranging the books by color and size to create funny and clever pictures. Although the books are not available for borrowing, I love settling down in one of the library’s many seating areas where I can read to my heart’s content. The library also regularly hosts visits from famous artists and authors for their book signings. It’s such a cool space, and I recommend you visit it next time you’re here in Seoul!
