Osei Boateng, who grew up in a small village in southern Ghana, watched many of his family members and neighbours struggle to access basic health care. In many regions of the country, people spend hours getting to the nearest hospital.
Driven by a strong sense of urgency to lend a hand, Boateng established his non-profit organization, the OKB Hope Foundation. In 2021, he turned a van into a mobile doctor’s office and started bringing health care directly to those in need.
A few times a week, the mobile clinic and medical team travel long distances to remote communities in Ghana and provide free routine medical care. In the van, they can run basic labs like bloodwork as well as provide medications.
Since it was established, the mobile clinic has served more than 4,000 citizens across more than 45 rural communities who otherwise don’t have easily accessible medical care and has got much praise. “I am very impressed by the service they provide, and that is the best chance for us rural people to get the treatment we want,” said Abraham, one of Boateng’s neighbours.
Boateng’s organization has also trained 20 volunteers to serve as local health advocates. They check people’s vital signs, such as blood pressure and glucose (葡萄糖) levels, and provide the medical team with timely data for assessing how to move forward with care and treatment, especially for those whose health is at risk.
In the future, Boateng wants to broaden the reach of his efforts to deliver medical services, not only to Ghana’s remote regions but also to other nations across the globe. “I believe that our model can be copied in Sub-Saharan Africa,” he said. “So, the goal is to really develop strategic partnerships and get additional mobile health vans for the communities or the regions that we want to serve.”
24. What motivated Boateng to launch the OKB Hope Foundation
A. The drive to raise people’s awareness of health.
B. The barrier to basic health care in his community.
C. The dream of impressing his family members and neighbors.
D. The hope of creating jobs for medical professionals in Ghana.
25. Why does the author mention Abraham in paragraph 4
A. To judge the service of the mobile clinic.
B. To describe the current situation of the citizens.
C. To imply the positive impact of the mobile clinic.
D. To show the mobile clinic has served many people.
26. What role do the local health advocates play
A. They help the doctors to analyze data.
B. They assist patients to get their medicine.
C. They keep the medical facilities in good condition.
D. They examine the patients before further treatment.
27. What is Boateng’s long-term vision for the OKB Hope Foundation
A. To expand the mobile clinic service beyond his country.
B. To work with other nations to promote his organization.
C. To establish a national health insurance system in Ghana.
D. To build a large hospital in every rural community in Ghana.

For the past 20 years, I’ve searched libraries and the Internet for others who are thinking about the possible effect of the breakdown of multigenerational families. I’ve been surprised at how few resources exist on this topic. It’s the main reason I chose to finally write Family Revision.
While I’ve expected one of the countless marriage and family writers and thinkers to address this topic, none seem to really understand that the transition (转变) from multigenerational families to nuclear families is at the root of so many of the other symptoms they discuss.
Well, the silence on this topic was finally broken and it was not from a traditional family publication but from David Brooks, The New York Times columnist writing for The Atlantic. In an article nearly the length of a dissertation on this subject, Brooks masterfully exposes the root problem with the modern family.
In the article, Brooks wrote, “When we discuss the problems the country is facing, we don’t talk about family enough. It feels too judgmental, too uncomfortable, and maybe even too religious. But the fact is that the nuclear family has been crumbling in slow motion for decades, and many of our other problems — with education, mental health, and the quality of the labor force — stem from that breakdown. We have left behind the family structure of the past. For most people it’s not coming back.”
Many Americans are hungering to live in multigenerational families, in the way that is new and ancient at the same time. This is a significant opportunity, a chance to thicken and broaden family relationships, a chance to allow more adults and children to live and grow under the loving gaze of a dozen pairs of eyes, and be caught, when they fall, by a dozen pairs of arms. For decades we have been eating at smaller and smaller tables, with fewer and fewer relatives. It’s time to find ways to bring back the big tables.
28. Which word can best describe the breakdown of multigenerational families
A. Damaging. B. Extraordinary. C. Meaningful. D. Ineffective.
29. What does the author think of Brooks’ article
A. It’s a tradition. B. It’s a victory. C. It’s a comparison. D. It’s a breakthrough.
30. What does the underlined word “crumbling” in paragraph 4 mean
A. developing B. failing C. collapsing D. establishing
31. What is the author’ s attitude to the structure of multigenerational families
A. Dismissive. B. Approving. C. Unclear. D. Doubtful.
D
If you use the internet, you’ve probably heard of a filter bubble (过滤气泡). Internet sites and social media platforms use algorithms (算法) that show you content based on your previous interactions, likes, and shares. Over time, this creates a filter bubble where you only see content that agrees with your interests and beliefs, which serves to convince you that your beliefs are true. But what you might not know is that in similar fashion, your brain has several mechanisms to filter information, creating personal filter bubbles that deeply shape how you live your life.
Self-created filter bubbles happen through various cognitive processes, and they have multiple consequences. They shape your experience of what’s happening by forming a lens (镜片) through which you see and interpret the world. On the internet, because things are being presented based on past user history, no two people get the same results when they search for something on the internet or open their news feed. In real life, no two people are experiencing an event or seeing a situation in the exact same way, because we all bring our own past experiences and biases (偏见) to situations, causing us to process them differently.
Filter bubbles can cause you to stay stuck in self-created and often self-limiting patterns of thought and behavior. If you’ve ever wondered why change is so hard, it’s because your mental filter bubbles make it difficult to see different possibilities. If you hold the belief that you’ re not someone who can have a high-paying job, you won’t look for one and you’ll only seek out and see jobs that match up with what you think you’re worth.
Filter bubbles can also prevent critical thinking and can lead to a limited and biased view of the world, where people don’t consider alternative viewpoints and don’t engage with others outside of their own circles. When we only consume information that confirms our preexisting beliefs and values, we don’t question the truth of that information or properly evaluate the evidence.
While you can’t prevent your brain from creating selective filter bubbles, you can become more aware so that you don’t have to be limited or trapped by them.
32. What can we learn about filter bubbles
A. They shape our interpretations of the world.
B. They have changed the way we view ourselves.
C. They are frequent occurrences and have little effect on us.
D. They assist us in making friends with like-minded individuals.
33. How do filter bubbles impact individuals’ ability to embrace change
A. They facilitate open-mindedness and flexibility.
B. They make individuals resistant to new opportunities.
C. They help individuals adapt quickly to new situations.
D. They prevent individuals from successfully securing a job.
34. What might the author continue talking about
A. Examples of creating filter bubbles. B. Barriers to overcoming filter bubbles.
C. Ways of escaping from filter bubbles. D. Benefits of recognizing filter bubbles.
35. What does the text mainly talk about
A. The dangers of bias in information consumption.
B. The influence of past experiences on our worldview.
C. The benefits of social media algorithms on our mind.
D. The impact of filter bubbles on shaping our perception.

In every culture throughout time, the kitchen has had a powerful influence. The simple practice of sitting down together at the table gives us the chance to connect and communicate. 36
It depends on where you live, your age, and other factors, but the answer is, yes. Our intentions for “home” are evolving.
37 Fast-paced lifestyles and work schedules make it hard to find time to shop for groceries and prepare meals. Online food delivery services have taken off, too. In 2016, one in 10 Chinese were ordering food online. Throughout Europe, online ordering is capturing 56 percent of the market in Sweden and 43 percent in Austria. In India, online food ordering is expected to reach close to $12m(US) by 2023.
While there is a trend towards bring-in and order-in food, as well as dining out, the kitchen is still a core in home life. Food and Wine cited a survey in 22 countries asking about cooking habits. 38 At the lower end were South Koreans, who spent just 3.7 hours per week cooking. People in India were at the top with 13.2 hours per week spent in the kitchen.
Simply being in the kitchen, cooking and eating with other people, can have healthy benefits. Regardless of its size, the kitchen is a warm and inviting place. 39 The difference is, now you can follow a recipe on your iPad while cooking.
It’s true that impersonal appliances are connecting to each other and to us. Refrigerators order vegetables. Cooktop hoods with sensors turn on by themselves. While technology and our expectations for the kitchen are shape-shifting in real time, the fundamentals remain the same. 40
A. So is cooking a way to express yourself
B. The global average was almost 6.5 hours.
C. But is our relationship to the kitchen changing
D. It’s like gathering around a campfire in the past.
E. People seem to be spending less time cooking worldwide.
F. Now more of them are eating outside the home more frequently.
G. The kitchen is where we connect with food and company in the soul of the home.

A study in the journal Nature suggests that the color of our oceans is changing due to climate change. Over the past 20 years, low-latitude oceans 56 (become) greener. It’s well established that rising global temperatures, 57 (drive) by the burning of fossil fuels, are making dramatic changes to our oceans, from increasing sea levels and intensifying storms to acidifying (酸化) the water itself.
58 NASA satellite known as Aqua just celebrated its 21st birthday in May, making it one of the longest still-running space probes. It has collected a lot of data on the color of our oceans, which is 59 (actual) an essential climate variable and can reflect changes in ocean ecosystems. After analyzing the data, researchers found that, 60 average, our oceans are becoming greener, with significant shifts in about 56% of the ocean surface.
The 61 (result) suggest that the effects of climate change are already being felt in surface marine microbial (微生物) ecosystems, 62 those effects have not yet been detected. Therefore, the findings might be useful for ocean 63 (conserve) and management. For instance, knowledge of places 64 the surface-ocean microbial ecosystem is changing might be useful for identifying regions of the open ocean 65 (set) up marine protected areas.

第二节（满分 25 分）
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。
Emily Harper sat at her desk, staring blankly at the math problems in front of her. Numbers and variables danced confusingly across the page, laughing at her every effort. At school, Emily was known for her artistic talents, but math had always been her weakness. No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn’t make sense of it.
Her struggles only worsened in the 10th grade. The pressure to keep up with her classmates grew, and the poor grades shook her confidence. Then came Mr. Jenkins, her new math teacher, who sensed her frustration and offered to help her after class.
Emily was initially resistant; the idea of spending extra hours on a subject she hated seemed like a punishment. But — she unwillingly agreed, knowing something had to change.
Mr. Jenkins didn’t dive straight into problems. Instead, he asked about her interests. When Emily spoke passionately about her painting, he smiled. “Math is like art, Emily. It has patterns and beauty if you know where to look.”
Doubtful but inspired, Emily listened as he began to explain concepts through visual examples. He used colors and shapes, turning abstract numbers into something almost tangible (有形的). For the first time, math seemed less like a foreign language and more like a puzzle waiting to be solved.
However, progress was slow. Weeks passed by, minimal improvement, and Emily’s patience wore thin. A particularly difficult quiz left her in tears. She was convinced that she was sure to fail. Mr. Jenkins said, “Remember, Emily, every artist starts with a blank canvas (画布). Masterpieces aren’t created overnight.”
Encouraged by his firm belief, Emily pushed on. She began to see the connections between the steps, how each solution followed a logical path. Small victories in practice problems gave her some hope. Mr. Jenkins was always there, celebrating her successes, no matter how minor.

Dear Ryan,
I’m Li Hua from Class 3. I hope this email finds you well. I’m writing to share my thoughts on the assessment method for our British and American Literature course.
Regarding the announced 2-hour closed-book exam, I understand its purpose in testing our knowledge. However, I feel that such an exam may not fully capture the depth of our understanding, particularly in a subject like literature where analysis and personal interpretation are key.
I would like to suggest an alternative. Perhaps students could complete a term paper on a topic of personal interest, which would allow for in-depth exploration. We could also discuss ideas with classmates and refer to external resources. At the end of the term, students could present their findings and share their insights in class.
Thank you again for your time and consideration. I look forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
67.One possible version:
Gradually, Emily’s confidence grew with Mr. Jenkins’ help. She found herself approaching math problems with a newfound curiosity instead of anxiety. The once confusing numbers and symbols began to become patterns she could understand. Mr. Jenkins continued to teach her in his unique way and Emily started to enjoy the challenge. When it’s time for her to take the mid-term test, her once hesitant hand moved steadily across the paper. The joy she felt when a solution clicked into place was something she had never expected to experience with math.
Emily’s heart raced when the results day arrived. She sat in the classroom, her hands trembling slightly as she received her test paper. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she saw the grade – a solid A. Tears of relief and happiness welled up in her eyes. She looked up at Mr. Jenkins, who stood at the back of the classroom, watching her with a proud smile. In that moment, Emily knew that she had not only conquered her fear of math but also discovered the power of perseverance.
