With paper flowers and music hanging around in the air, Lyu Jun was hosting a small farewell ceremony at an industrial zone in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province. It was a funeral for a pet dog. Lyu came up with the idea of becoming a pet mortician(殡葬师) four years ago when he was preparing to start a business.
“At that time, there was only one brick-and-mortar (实体的) business that provided funeral services for pets in Shenzhen. but hundreds of pets die every day in this city.” he said. According toLyu, many pet owners used to bury the remains of their beloved animals near their homes, which had a harmful impact on the environment and created the risk of spreading disease.
He saw a gap in the market for someone aple to properly handle the death of pets. “A pet funeral service provides treatment of the bodies that is harm-free, and it is the greatest comfort to pet owners,”Lyu said.
He takes good care of the remains of the pets and tidies up their appearance before the funeral . In addition, he prepares funeral addresses and selects suitable tombs for the pets. He also films funerals for owners who cannot attend the ceremonies, and provides paper and pens for those who want to write down their blessings and nang the notes on tne wishing tree.
Over the past four years, Lyu has bid farewell to more than 2,000 dogs, cats and other kinds of an mals. He also does volunteer work in his spare time to promote responsible dog raising. “The pet funeral service industry is still in its babyhood, and I hope there will be a set of strict standards for people who take on this job and a better environment for the industry,” Lyu said.
24. Why did I yu start the business on pet funeral service
A. It met the market requirement.
B. It would be a unique and challenging business.
C. He could earn a lot of money from the business.
D. He eould help bury the dead pets near their homes.

A. He gives best wishes to the pets’ owners. B. He prepares speeches to mourn the pets.
C. He makes films of the pets for their birth. D. He nurses and cares for the pets carefully.

B. The pet funeral service has got a big success
C. There remains a potential in the pet funeral industry.
D. More strict standards should be set for pets’ owners.

As part of a health initiative, Berkeley is getting ready to become the first city in the US to require large grocery stores to stop allowing the sales of junk food and candy in checkout passages. The new regulation is expected to go into effect in March 2021.
The“Healthy Checkout Regulation” was approved by Berkeley’ s City Council. It requires stores over 2,500 square-feet in size to sell at least 25 square-feet of healthy items within a three-foot radius(半径) of checkout registers. So now instead of candy and soda and other high calorie items, shoppers can expect to see fresh fruit and whole grain alternatives at checkout counters.
“Placement of unhealthy snacks near a register increases the likelihood that customers will purchase these foods and drinks when willpower is weak at the end of a long shopping trip,” City Council member Kate Harrison said. The new regulation will affect at least 25 retailers(零售商) in Berkeley. These include Whole Foods, CVS, Walgreens and Safeway.
“It's not a ban: it's a push.” Harnson said. “Stores can still sell candy and soda. just not at your child's eye level in the checkout.” The council said the shift to selling more healthy products at checkouts will still be profitable for stores because data shows customers are looking for more low sugar and low sodium products anyway. They also said retailers in test cases around the country and in California have seen dramatic increases in sales of healthy foods-since they changed their checkouts to include more fresh options in displays.
The regulation will make grocery stores a“more neutral and health-friendly space for consumers,”said Ashley Hickson, senior policy associate at the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI).Junk food makers spend a lot to make sure their products are front and center in stores, Hickson sard,but some consumers don't like the practice. In a CSPI survey, 76% of shoppers who bought unhealthy food or drink at checkout regretted the purchase, she added.
28. What can we infer from Harrison s words in Paragraph 3
A. Items near checkouts are most profitable.
B. Customers tend to ignore the price when tired.
C. Items near checkouts are inviting to customers.
D. Customers will easily spend a fortune when tired.
29. why will the regulation bring stores no toss in profit according to the council
A. Retailers will get financial support. B. Alternatives will make up for sales.
C. Healthy food prices will be on the rise. D. Retail prices of other goods will be raised.
30. What do the underlined words“the practice” in the last paragraph refer to
A. Spending a lot to promote sales. B. Placing junk food at checkout passages.
C. Advertising some unhealthy drinks. D. Replacing junk food with healthy ones.
31. What's the best title of the text
A. The Negative Influences of Junk Food.
B. How to Maximize the Profits of Stores.
C. Berkeley Pays More Attention to People's Health.
D. Berkeley Will Stop Displaying Junk Food at Checkouts.
D
The emergence of de-inking printers represents an advancement of printing technology and paper recycling, addressing one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time. For decades, conventional printing processes have been linked to substantial paper waste, with millions of tons of paper being consumed annually — often used just once before being thrown away
The innovative de-inking printer operates through a combination of advanced technologies. Using an advanced sensor system, it first identifies the presence of ink on the surface of the paper.Subsequently, a high-intensity laser is precisely directed to target and vaporize (汽化) ink effectively,removing them without causing any damage to the paper fibers.
One of the most remarkable advantages of this technology lies in its potential to reduce overall paper consumption. By enabling the reuse of printed materials through effective ink removal it significantly reduces the demand for newly produced paper. This shift not only preserves natural resources but also plays a crucial role in reducing carbon emissions associated with the paper production.
From an economic perspective, the adoption of de-inking printers presents long-term financial advantages. Although the initial investment in purchasing and installing the printer may be relatively high, the long-term savings from reduced paper and ink purchases can be substantial.
However, the widespread adoption of de-inking printers is not without its challenges. The technology requires further improvements to enhance de-inking efficiency and ensure that the quality of recycled paper meets industry standards. Additionally, there exists a significant barrier in terms of user acceptance: many individuals and organizations remain accustomed to using new paper and may be reluctant to adopt recycled alternatives ev en when they are of comparable quality.
In conclusion, the de-inking printer stands as a ray of hope for achieving a more sustainable future within the printing industry. With continued technological advancements and growing environmental awareness, this technology has the potential to transform the industry, contributing to a more eco-friendly and resource-efficient world.
32 What is the de-inking printer aimed at
A. Recycling the used ink. B. Producing recyclable paper
C. improving the printing speed. D. Reducing the waste or resources.
33. How does the de-inking printer remove ink from paper
A. By combining sensors and lasers. B. By adding chemicals into the ink.
C. By converting paper into new materials.D. By using laser to burn letters on the paper.
34. What blocks the broad application of de-inking printer
A. It can only be used with special ink. B. Users find it complex to understand.
C. It is too large to be used in most offices.D. People are unwilling to use recycled paper.
35. What is the author's attitude towards de-inking printer
A. Neutral. B. Skeptical. C. Optimistic. D. Negative.

根据短文内容，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。
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming more and more popular in children's lives. from voice-activated assistants like Alexa to AI-powered homework help tools. 36 fo help children balance the benefits of AI without nurturing dependency, here are some practical strategies:
Count AI as a supportive partner, not a solution. 37 If they' re working on an assignment, ask them to first attempt it independently. One e they've done their best, they can use AI to check their work/ or get additional insights. This way, they see AI as an aid in refining their ideas rather than as a replacement for their effort
38 Mindful technology use involves curiosity about where information comes from.Encourage your child to ask questions like, “How did this answer come to me ” or“Is this information proven ” This not only builds critical thinking but also teaches them to assess AI-generated content with a healthy level of skepticism.
Encourage creativity over convenience. When kids are working on creative projects, such as writing or artwork, suggest they use . AI as a brainstorming tool. 39 However, they need to shape those ideas in their unique style. This approach helps them see Al as a springboard for their creativity,not a substitute for their own ideas.
Set boundaries on AI use. Just as you set limits on screen time, establish boundaries for AI use.For example, decide that AI can be used for initial research. 40 These guidelines highlight that while AI is a valuable tool, it should not replace the learning process or independent thinking.
By encouraging your children to view AI as a helpful resource rather than something they overly rely on, you ll promote their independence, creativity and critical thinking.
A Model responsible AI use.
B Teach them to question the source.
C. However, do not use it to complete assignments.
D. AI can be a great educational tool if used responsibly.
E. Encourage kids to view AI as a helper, not a shortcut.
F. For example. if they' re writing a story, they can ask AI for topic ideas.
G While these technologies can be incredibly useful, over-reliance can lead to problems.

David and Susan lived with their parents about a mile from town but they went there to school every day. It was a pleasant walk down the lane, and through the grassland by the pond.
No one knows exactly whether they liked it better in spring or in winter. They used to pretend that they were travelers exploring a new country with lush vegetation (茂盛的草木) and bright yellow daffodils(水仙花) dotting the field, and would drop leaves on the road that they might find their way back again. Everything seemed amazing and appealing
When the ice was thick and firm, they went across the pond . But their mother did not like to have them do this unless someone was with them.
“Don't go across the pond today, children,” she said, as she kissed them and bad e them goodbye one morning. “It is beginning to melt. It can be dangerous.”
“All right, mother,” said David, though not very good-naturedly, for he was very fond of running and sliding on the ice.
When they came to the pond, the ice looked hard and safe. “There,” said he to his sister, “I knew it hadn't melted any. Mother is always afraid we shall be e along, and we will have a good time sliding. The school bell will not ring for an hour at least.”
“But you promised mother,” said Susan.
“No,I didn’ t. I only said‘All right,’ and it is all right,” said David, holding his head high.
“Oh, well, I didn't say anything; so I can do as I like,” said Susan. So they stepped on the ice without any delay, and started to go across the pond merrily. They had not gone far before the ice gave way, and they fell into the chilly water all at once.
“Help! Help!” they both cried for help in panic.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
A man who was at work near the shore heard the screams of the children.
David and Susan went home almost frozen.

With paper flowers and music hanging around in the air, Lyu Jun was hosting a small farewell ceremony at an industrial zone in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province. It was a funeral for a pet dog. Lyu came up with the idea of becoming a pet mortician(殡葬师) four years ago when he was preparing to start a business.
“At that time, there was only one brick-and-mortar (实体的) business that provided funeral services for pets in Shenzhen. but hundreds of pets die every day in this city.” he said.

He also films funerals for owners who cannot attend the ceremonies, and provides paper and pens for those who want to write down their blessings and nang the notes on tne wishing tree.
Over the past four years, Lyu has bid farewell to more than 2,000 dogs, cats and other kinds of an mals. He also does volunteer work in his spare time to promote responsible dog raising. “The pet funeral service industry is still in its babyhood, and I hope there will be a set of strict standards for people who take on this job and a better environment for the industry,” Lyu said.

As part of a health initiative, Berkeley is getting ready to become the first city in the US to require large grocery stores to stop allowing the sales of junk food and candy in checkout passages. The new regulation is expected to go into effect in March 2021.
The“Healthy Checkout Regulation” was approved by Berkeley’ s City Council. It requires stores over 2,500 square-feet in size to sell at least 25 square-feet of healthy items within a three-foot radius(半径) of checkout registers. So now instead of candy and soda and other high calorie items, shoppers can expect to see fresh fruit and whole grain alternatives at checkout counters.
“Placement of unhealthy snacks near a register increases the likelihood that customers will purchase these foods and drinks when willpower is weak at the end of a long shopping trip,” City Council member Kate Harrison said. The new regulation will affect at least 25 retailers(零售商) in Berkeley. These include Whole Foods, CVS, Walgreens and Safeway.
“It's not a ban: it's a push.” Harnson said. “Stores can still sell candy and soda. just not at your child's eye level in the checkout.” The council said the shift to selling more healthy products at checkouts will still be profitable for stores because data shows customers are looking for more low sugar and low sodium products anyway. They also said retailers in test cases around the country and in California have seen dramatic increases in sales of healthy foods-since they changed their checkouts to include more fresh options in displays.
The regulation will make grocery stores a“more neutral and health-friendly space for consumers,”said Ashley Hickson, senior policy associate at the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI).Junk food makers spend a lot to make sure their products are front and center in stores, Hickson sard,but some consumers don't like the practice. In a CSPI survey, 76% of shoppers who bought unhealthy food or drink at checkout regretted the purchase, she added.
28. What can we infer from Harrison s words in Paragraph 3
A. Items near checkouts are most profitable.
B. Customers tend to ignore the price when tired.
C. Items near checkouts are inviting to customers.
D. Customers will easily spend a fortune when tired.
29. why will the regulation bring stores no toss in profit according to the council
A. Retailers will get financial support. B. Alternatives will make up for sales.
C. Healthy food prices will be on the rise. D. Retail prices of other goods will be raised.
30. What do the underlined words“the practice” in the last paragraph refer to
A. Spending a lot to promote sales. B. Placing junk food at checkout passages.
C. Advertising some unhealthy drinks. D. Replacing junk food with healthy ones.
31. What's the best title of the text
A. The Negative Influences of Junk Food.
B. How to Maximize the Profits of Stores.
C. Berkeley Pays More Attention to People's Health.
D. Berkeley Will Stop Displaying Junk Food at Checkouts.

The emergence of de-inking printers represents an advancement of printing technology and paper recycling, addressing one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time. For decades, conventional printing processes have been linked to substantial paper waste, with millions of tons of paper being consumed annually — often used just once before being thrown away
The innovative de-inking printer operates through a combination of advanced technologies. Using an advanced sensor system, it first identifies the presence of ink on the surface of the paper.Subsequently, a high-intensity laser is precisely directed to target and vaporize (汽化) ink effectively,removing them without causing any damage to the paper fibers.
One of the most remarkable advantages of this technology lies in its potential to reduce overall paper consumption. By enabling the reuse of printed materials through effective ink removal it significantly reduces the demand for newly produced paper. This shift not only preserves natural resources but also plays a crucial role in reducing carbon emissions associated with the paper production.
From an economic perspective, the adoption of de-inking printers presents long-term financial advantages. Although the initial investment in purchasing and installing the printer may be relatively high, the long-term savings from reduced paper and ink purchases can be substantial.
However, the widespread adoption of de-inking printers is not without its challenges. The technology requires further improvements to enhance de-inking efficiency and ensure that the quality of recycled paper meets industry standards. Additionally, there exists a significant barrier in terms of user acceptance: many individuals and organizations remain accustomed to using new paper and may be reluctant to adopt recycled alternatives ev en when they are of comparable quality.
In conclusion, the de-inking printer stands as a ray of hope for achieving a more sustainable future within the printing industry. With continued technological advancements and growing environmental awareness, this technology has the potential to transform the industry, contributing to a more eco-friendly and resource-efficient world.
32 What is the de-inking printer aimed at
A. Recycling the used ink. B. Producing recyclable paper
C. improving the printing speed. D. Reducing the waste or resources.
33. How does the de-inking printer remove ink from paper
A. By combining sensors and lasers. B. By adding chemicals into the ink.
C. By converting paper into new materials.D. By using laser to burn letters on the paper.
34. What blocks the broad application of de-inking printer
A. It can only be used with special ink. B. Users find it complex to understand.
C. It is too large to be used in most offices.D. People are unwilling to use recycled paper.
35. What is the author's attitude towards de-inking printer
A. Neutral. B. Skeptical. C. Optimistic. D. Negative.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming more and more popular in children's lives. from voice-activated assistants like Alexa to AI-powered homework help tools. 36 fo help children balance the benefits of AI without nurturing dependency, here are some practical strategies:
Count AI as a supportive partner, not a solution. 37 If they' re working on an assignment, ask them to first attempt it independently. One e they've done their best, they can use AI to check their work/ or get additional insights. This way, they see AI as an aid in refining their ideas rather than as a replacement for their effort
38 Mindful technology use involves curiosity about where information comes from.Encourage your child to ask questions like, “How did this answer come to me ” or“Is this information proven ” This not only builds critical thinking but also teaches them to assess AI-generated content with a healthy level of skepticism.
Encourage creativity over convenience. When kids are working on creative projects, such as writing or artwork, suggest they use . AI as a brainstorming tool. 39 However, they need to shape those ideas in their unique style. This approach helps them see Al as a springboard for their creativity,not a substitute for their own ideas.
Set boundaries on AI use. Just as you set limits on screen time, establish boundaries for AI use.For example, decide that AI can be used for initial research. 40 These guidelines highlight that while AI is a valuable tool, it should not replace the learning process or independent thinking.
By encouraging your children to view AI as a helpful resource rather than something they overly rely on, you ll promote their independence, creativity and critical thinking.
A Model responsible AI use.
B Teach them to question the source.
C. However, do not use it to complete assignments.
D. AI can be a great educational tool if used responsibly.
E. Encourage kids to view AI as a helper, not a shortcut.
F. For example. if they' re writing a story, they can ask AI for topic ideas.
G While these technologies can be incredibly useful, over-reliance can lead to problems.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给的段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
David and Susan lived with their parents about a mile from town but they went there to school every day. It was a pleasant walk down the lane, and through the grassland by the pond.
No one knows exactly whether they liked it better in spring or in winter. They used to pretend that they were travelers exploring a new country with lush vegetation (茂盛的草木) and bright yellow daffodils(水仙花) dotting the field, and would drop leaves on the road that they might find their way back again. Everything seemed amazing and appealing
When the ice was thick and firm, they went across the pond . But their mother did not like to have them do this unless someone was with them.
“Don't go across the pond today, children,” she said, as she kissed them and bad e them goodbye one morning. “It is beginning to melt. It can be dangerous.”
“All right, mother,” said David, though not very good-naturedly, for he was very fond of running and sliding on the ice.
When they came to the pond, the ice looked hard and safe. “There,” said he to his sister, “I knew it hadn't melted any. Mother is always afraid we shall be e along, and we will have a good time sliding. The school bell will not ring for an hour at least.”
“But you promised mother,” said Susan.
“No,I didn’ t. I only said‘All right,’ and it is all right,” said David, holding his head high.
“Oh, well, I didn't say anything; so I can do as I like,” said Susan. So they stepped on the ice without any delay, and started to go across the pond merrily. They had not gone far before the ice gave way, and they fell into the chilly water all at once.
“Help! Help!” they both cried for help in panic.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
A man who was at work near the shore heard the screams of the children.
David and Susan went home almost frozen.
