Text 10
Herbert Marshal was a student at Cambridge, but his hometown was St. Albans. It was August and the family had gone to the seaside. Herbert went to France for his holiday, but he ran out of money, and came home a week earlier than he had expected to.
His train didn't get into St. Albans until just before midnight. The last bus had gone, so he had to walk home. He let himself into the kitchen, and as he was feeling hot and sticky, he took off his shirt to have a wash.
Suddenly he heard heavy steps running up the path. The back door burst open, and he found himself surrounded by policemen. They pushed him into the living room next door, made him sit down，and began asking him questions.
“What's your name？”
“Where do you live？”
“What are you doing here？”
“I live here，” said Herbert. “I've been on holiday.” But nobody listened to him. They just went on asking questions. Then suddenly one of the policemen said，“ Watch him, Frank. We'll go and search the house.”

After the knock-out Maui wildfires, people from all walks of life managed to find ways to support the victims. While many felt more comfortable giving to the Hawaii Red Cross or grassroots organizations, others wanted to donate directly to the people in need. Oprah Winfrey and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson felt that way too, so they created The People's Fund of Maui, which aims to support the displaced residents of Lahaina as they try to rebuild their lives.
“I have been meeting with people throughout the community that were impacted by the fires over the last few weeks, asking what they most needed and how I could be of service，” Winfrey said in a statement. “The main thing I've been hearing is their concern about how to move forward under the enormous financial burden (负担). The community has come together in so many wonderful ways, and my intention is to support those impacted as they determine what rebuilding looks like for them.”
Winfrey and Johnson posted a video announcing a donation of $10 million on Instagram, and calling for those who need assistance to apply. The People's Fund of Maui aims to provide direct relief to individuals in the form of $1，200 monthly payments for as long as possible. The recipients of this fundraiser are individuals who are over the age of 18, reside in Lahaina and Kula, and lost their homes during the fire. “We are beyond grateful to be working alongside community leaders of Maui to launch the People's Fund of Maui，” Johnson shared in a statement. “These leaders are offering their guidance to ensure our fund can put money directly in the hands of those individuals most affected.”
Johnson, who spent some time in Honolulu as a kid, praised first responders and community members who have stepped up to the challenge. “As people around the world watched the great loss caused by the Maui wildfires, they also witnessed the great spirit of our Polynesian culture and the strength of the people of Maui，” said Johnson.

By now, we all know that the planet is facing more environmental disasters, with quick-to-disintegrate (快速瓦解的) fast fashion clothing and the industry that creates it a major reason. Need proof Just look at the 60，000 tonne-mountain of poisonous and thrown-away clothing that is visible from space.
Now, France is taking steps to resist the supercharged way we consume clothes, with the country recently announcing it will pay all citizens a “repair bonus” for taking their clothes in to get fixed rather than throwing them in the bin.
Beginning in October, citizens who bring their clothes in for repairs will be able to claim back a DC＝ 6 to DC＝ 25 bonus, with the total payment depending on the complexity of the repair. All bonuses will be paid from a DC＝ 154 million sustainability fund the government has set aside for the next five years.
By calling on people to take their items to get fixed, the government hopes to cut fast fashion waste throughout the country and encourage customers to purchase more “virtuous” products. In other words: the government is begging you to fix your clothes, rather than continuously over-consuming the products of fast fashion sites like Shein or Boohoo.
“It could encourage exactly the people who have bought, for example, shoes from a brand that makes good-quality shoes or likewise good-quality ready-to-wear clothes to want to have them fixed instead of getting rid of them，” explained France's junior ecology minister Bérangère Couillard, who announced the programme in Paris. “That is exactly the objective, to create a recycling economy for shoes and clothes so that products last longer, because in government we believe in the second life of a product.”
She also shared hopes that the programme will increase employment for French tailors and shoemakers. “The goal is to support those who carry out repairs，” she explained, while inviting all repair shops to join in the campaign for free.

Simple household chores (家务) could help prevent dementia (痴呆症) by boosting our brain size, a new study claims. Canadian scientists found older adults who spent more time on household chores showed greater brain size—a strong predictor of cognitive (认知) health. These chores—including cleaning, tidying, cooking, heavy housework and gardening—could all give the human brain a workout and prevent the condition.
“Scientists already know that exercise has a positive impact on the brain, but our study is the first to show that the same maybe true for household chores，” said study author Noah Koblinsky at Rotman Research Institute (RRI) at Baycrest in Toronto, Canada. “Highlighting the benefits of household chores may motivate older adults to be more active by providing a more realistic, low risk form of physical activity.”
The researchers looked at the links between household chores，brain volume and cognition in a group of 66 cognitively healthy older adults between 65 and 85 years of age. The participants attended three assessment visits at Baycrest Hospital in Toronto, including a health evaluation, structural brain imaging and cognitive assessment. They were asked about the time they spent on household chores, such as tidying, dusting, meal preparation and clean-up, shopping, heavy housework, gardening and yard work, home repairs and care-giving.
The researchers found that older adults who spent more time engaging in such activities had greater brain volume, regardless of how much they engaged in any form of physical exercise, such as running. As a next step, the researchers would like to assess household physical activity more objectively using wearable technology. With additional funding, they could also plan controlled trials with the aim of increasing individuals' household activity and studying brain changes over time.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了加拿大的一项研究发现：从事家务劳动有助于增加老年人大脑的容量，有助于预防老年痴呆。
32．How does housework prevent dementia according to the new study
A．By allowing the brain to rest.
B．By increasing brain volume.
C．By monitoring daily activities.
D．By predicting cognitive health.
答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中“Simple household chores (家务) could help prevent dementia (痴呆症) by boosting our brain size, a new study claims.”可知，家务活可以增加脑容量，从而有助于预防痴呆，故选B。
33．What can we learn from Koblinsky's words
A．The old people seldom want to do housework.
B．Exercise has little positive impact on the brain.
C．Doing household chores is risky for old people.
D．The new study may encourage the old to do housework.
答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段可知，从Koblinsky这段话中我们可知，新研究首次表明，家务也是一种锻炼方式，对大脑也可能有积极影响，因此该研究可能会鼓励老年人做家务。
34．What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the research
A．Its finding. B．Its purpose.
C．Its process. D．Its significance.
答案：C
解析：段落大意题。根据第三段，尤其第一句“The researchers looked at the links between household chores，brain volume and cognition in a group of 66 cognitively healthy older adults between 65 and 85 years of age.”可知，本段主要讲的是研究的过程。
35．What can be inferred about the researchers from the last paragraph
A．They want to improve their research.
B．They lack necessary financial support.
C．They refuse to organize controlled trials.
D．They consider wearable technology worthless.
答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中“As a next step, the researchers would like to assess household physical activity more objectively using wearable technology. With additional funding, they could also plan controlled trials with the aim of increasing individuals' household activity and studying brain changes over time.”可知，研究者想要改进他们的研究。

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We all desire to belong, whether at our place of work or in our community. __36__ Here are some tips on how to overcome a lack of belongingness to help you make a fresh start and become a better you.
* __37__
You might feel hurt when your close friend doesn't invite you to her party, or when your colleagues never ask you to join in on coffee talks. No matter what the case, you'll finally feel numbers of emotions. Taking time to acknowledge these feelings can help reduce social anxiety. Avoid trying to shut them out because this is more likely to cause many mental health issues.
* Consider that you're not as alone as you feel.
__38__ However, for whatever reason, you have no way of gaining what everyone else has. The truth is that everyone is struggling with psychological issues; they just don't let it show. Remember it's easier to post about a trip one took on Facebook than to talk about how hard it has been to make ends meet. So, don't feel the pressure to compare yourself to others.
* Get to establish new relationships.
If you feel like your existing relationships don't offer the emotional support, it may be time to join a new friendship group. People change over time, and new interests and friendships often accompany such changes. __39__ And the sooner you accept the fact, the happier you'll be.
* Focus on something that isn't YOU.
When you're wrapped in your shortcomings, it might help to emphasize things that exist outside of yourself. Volunteer at a nursing home, pet the dogs at an animal shelter or offer free guitar lessons at your music school. Actively engaged in these activities, you can offer others help. __40__
A．Acknowledge what you are feeling.
B．Evaluate how you see yourself.
C．That is something you just have to accept.
D．Surely, you can also gain a sense of belonging.
E．It's easy to think that others' social life is perfect.
F．Body expression plays a huge role in how others relate to us.
G．Unfortunately, we all go through periods of loneliness or feel like we don't fit in.

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。
The Mango Tree—A Friend of All
It was a usual cheerful and playful day for Dorothy. The only difference was that her family had shifted to a new apartment. Although she had been in the new house just two days, Dorothy had already started liking her new home very much, not only because of the spacious rooms, but also because of a large mango tree which had lovingly extended its branches across the balcony of her house. The mango tree not only gave a beautiful view but also served as a home for a large number of birds and small animals. Dorothy's mother was also fond of plants and had kept many potted plants in the balcony.
A week passed by. On a Sunday morning, Dorothy was awakened by a loud noise in her neighbourhood. She ran towards the balcony, and to her surprise, found some people chopping (砍) off the beloved mango tree. She ran up to her mother and explained the matter.
Dorothy and her mother looked down from the balcony. They saw the women under the guidance of Mr. Denver, cutting the mango tree down. Mr. Denver was the resident of the ground floor apartment. He said angrily, “Look, I am getting this job done under my expense. This tree is blocking my view. I cannot see my car properly because of this annoying tree.” Dorothy and her mother understood that there was no point in having an argument with Mr. Denver.
From then on, Dorothy tried all possible ways to take her revenge (报复) against Mr. Denver for cutting her beloved mango tree. She did many tricks such as sticking the gum on his calling bell, pouring sugar in his balcony as attractants, jumping on the floor to create noise, etc.
Days passed by. One morning, as Dorothy was helping her mother water the potted plants kept in the balcony, she couldn't take her eyes away from the fresh green leaves coming from the injured mango tree. Dorothy couldn't hold her excitement and started jumping with delight.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Several days later, Dorothy's parents decided to invite Mr. Denver and his family for dinner.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

参考范文：
Several days later, Dorothy's parents decided to invite Mr. Denver and his family for dinner. After dinner, Dorothy's father spoke to Mr. Denver about the importance of plants in life, saying that plants and trees near a house increases the market value and are good to health. Mr. Denver listened very carefully and promised not to cut the mango tree any more. Hearing what Mr. Denver said, Dorothy and her parents were very happy. Soon Dorothy's mother brought a plant from her balcony and handed it to Mr. Denver, saying, “This plant will look beautiful in your balcony.”
Mr. Denver received Dorothy's mother's gift warmly with a smile. “Let's protect the mango tree together. I am sure it will grow well again. And the plant you just gave me will also grow well.” Mr. Denver said. Dorothy stood smiling and looking at all these and admired the peaceful way her parents had chosen to save the mango tree. The mango tree, with love and care from all, once again grew back to its original form soon.
【导语】 本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述了Dorothy公寓下一棵芒果树的树枝挡住了住在一楼的邻居Denver先生家的视线，芒果树被砍掉了。后来这棵树又长出了新的叶子，为了防止再次被砍，Dorothy的爸爸邀请了Denver一家来吃晚饭，借机给Denver先生讲述了植物的重要性，还送给了Denver先生一盆植物。Denver承诺不再砍掉芒果树，在大家的呵护下，芒果树很快长成了原来的样子。
【详解】 1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“几天后，Dorothy的父母决定邀请Denver先生及其家人共进晚餐。”和第二段首句内容“Denver先生微笑着热情地接受了Dorothy妈妈的礼物。”可知，第一段可描写Dorothy的父亲向Denver讲述植物的重要性，Denver先生决定不再砍芒果树，Dorothy的母亲送给Denver先生一盆植物。
②由第二段首句内容“Denver先生微笑着热情地接受了Dorothy妈妈的礼物。”可知，第二段可描写Denver说大家要一起保护芒果树，很快芒果树长成了原来的样子。

After the knock-out Maui wildfires, people from all walks of life managed to find ways to support the victims. While many felt more comfortable giving to the Hawaii Red Cross or grassroots organizations, others wanted to donate directly to the people in need. Oprah Winfrey and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson felt that way too, so they created The People's Fund of Maui, which aims to support the displaced residents of Lahaina as they try to rebuild their lives.
“I have been meeting with people throughout the community that were impacted by the fires over the last few weeks, asking what they most needed and how I could be of service，” Winfrey said in a statement. “The main thing I've been hearing is their concern about how to move forward under the enormous financial burden (负担). The community has come together in so many wonderful ways, and my intention is to support those impacted as they determine what rebuilding looks like for them.”
Winfrey and Johnson posted a video announcing a donation of $10 million on Instagram, and calling for those who need assistance to apply. The People's Fund of Maui aims to provide direct relief to individuals in the form of $1，200 monthly payments for as long as possible. The recipients of this fundraiser are individuals who are over the age of 18, reside in Lahaina and Kula, and lost their homes during the fire. “We are beyond grateful to be working alongside community leaders of Maui to launch the People's Fund of Maui，” Johnson shared in a statement. “These leaders are offering their guidance to ensure our fund can put money directly in the hands of those individuals most affected.”
Johnson, who spent some time in Honolulu as a kid, praised first responders and community members who have stepped up to the challenge. “As people around the world watched the great loss caused by the Maui wildfires, they also witnessed the great spirit of our Polynesian culture and the strength of the people of Maui，” said Johnson.
24．What does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph 1

By now, we all know that the planet is facing more environmental disasters, with quick-to-disintegrate (快速瓦解的) fast fashion clothing and the industry that creates it a major reason. Need proof Just look at the 60，000 tonne-mountain of poisonous and thrown-away clothing that is visible from space.
Now, France is taking steps to resist the supercharged way we consume clothes, with the country recently announcing it will pay all citizens a “repair bonus” for taking their clothes in to get fixed rather than throwing them in the bin.
Beginning in October, citizens who bring their clothes in for repairs will be able to claim back a DC＝ 6 to DC＝ 25 bonus, with the total payment depending on the complexity of the repair. All bonuses will be paid from a DC＝ 154 million sustainability fund the government has set aside for the next five years.
By calling on people to take their items to get fixed, the government hopes to cut fast fashion waste throughout the country and encourage customers to purchase more “virtuous” products. In other words: the government is begging you to fix your clothes, rather than continuously over-consuming the products of fast fashion sites like Shein or Boohoo.
“It could encourage exactly the people who have bought, for example, shoes from a brand that makes good-quality shoes or likewise good-quality ready-to-wear clothes to want to have them fixed instead of getting rid of them，” explained France's junior ecology minister Bérangère Couillard, who announced the programme in Paris. “That is exactly the objective, to create a recycling economy for shoes and clothes so that products last longer, because in government we believe in the second life of a product.”
She also shared hopes that the programme will increase employment for French tailors and shoemakers. “The goal is to support those who carry out repairs，” she explained, while inviting all repair shops to join in the campaign for free.
28．What do people usually do with old clothes according to the text
A．Throw them in the dustbins.
B．Mend them in the repair shops.
C．Donate them to those in need.
D．Put them away in the cupboard.
29．What does the underlined word “virtuous” probably mean in Paragraph 4
A．Fashionable. B．Convenient.
C．Sustainable. D．Comfortable.
30．What does Bérangère Couillard hope will be one of the results of the programme
A．Reducing taxes on clothing repairs.
B．Encouraging the community economy.
C．Increasing sales for fast fashion brands.
D．Creating jobs for tailors and shoemakers.
31．What is the best title of the text
A．French Repair Shops Serve People for Free
B．France Leads a New Trend in Fashion Industry
C.France Encourages Citizens to Mend Clothes Themselves
D．French Repairing Program Pays People to Reduce Waste

Simple household chores (家务) could help prevent dementia (痴呆症) by boosting our brain size, a new study claims. Canadian scientists found older adults who spent more time on household chores showed greater brain size—a strong predictor of cognitive (认知) health. These chores—including cleaning, tidying, cooking, heavy housework and gardening—could all give the human brain a workout and prevent the condition.
“Scientists already know that exercise has a positive impact on the brain, but our study is the first to show that the same maybe true for household chores，” said study author Noah Koblinsky at Rotman Research Institute (RRI) at Baycrest in Toronto, Canada. “Highlighting the benefits of household chores may motivate older adults to be more active by providing a more realistic, low risk form of physical activity.”
The researchers looked at the links between household chores，brain volume and cognition in a group of 66 cognitively healthy older adults between 65 and 85 years of age. The participants attended three assessment visits at Baycrest Hospital in Toronto, including a health evaluation, structural brain imaging and cognitive assessment. They were asked about the time they spent on household chores, such as tidying, dusting, meal preparation and clean-up, shopping, heavy housework, gardening and yard work, home repairs and care-giving.
The researchers found that older adults who spent more time engaging in such activities had greater brain volume, regardless of how much they engaged in any form of physical exercise, such as running. As a next step, the researchers would like to assess household physical activity more objectively using wearable technology. With additional funding, they could also plan controlled trials with the aim of increasing individuals' household activity and studying brain changes over time.
32．How does housework prevent dementia according to the new study
A．By allowing the brain to rest.
B．By increasing brain volume.
C．By monitoring daily activities.
D．By predicting cognitive health.
33．What can we learn from Koblinsky's words
A．The old people seldom want to do housework.
B．Exercise has little positive impact on the brain.
C．Doing household chores is risky for old people.
D．The new study may encourage the old to do housework.
34．What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the research
A．Its finding. B．Its purpose.
C．Its process. D．Its significance.
35．What can be inferred about the researchers from the last paragraph
A．They want to improve their research.
B．They lack necessary financial support.
C．They refuse to organize controlled trials.
D．They consider wearable technology worthless.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We all desire to belong, whether at our place of work or in our community. __36__ Here are some tips on how to overcome a lack of belongingness to help you make a fresh start and become a better you.
* __37__
You might feel hurt when your close friend doesn't invite you to her party, or when your colleagues never ask you to join in on coffee talks. No matter what the case, you'll finally feel numbers of emotions. Taking time to acknowledge these feelings can help reduce social anxiety. Avoid trying to shut them out because this is more likely to cause many mental health issues.
* Consider that you're not as alone as you feel.
__38__ However, for whatever reason, you have no way of gaining what everyone else has. The truth is that everyone is struggling with psychological issues; they just don't let it show. Remember it's easier to post about a trip one took on Facebook than to talk about how hard it has been to make ends meet. So, don't feel the pressure to compare yourself to others.
* Get to establish new relationships.
If you feel like your existing relationships don't offer the emotional support, it may be time to join a new friendship group. People change over time, and new interests and friendships often accompany such changes. __39__ And the sooner you accept the fact, the happier you'll be.
* Focus on something that isn't YOU.
When you're wrapped in your shortcomings, it might help to emphasize things that exist outside of yourself. Volunteer at a nursing home, pet the dogs at an animal shelter or offer free guitar lessons at your music school. Actively engaged in these activities, you can offer others help. __40__
A．Acknowledge what you are feeling.
B．Evaluate how you see yourself.
C．That is something you just have to accept.
D．Surely, you can also gain a sense of belonging.
E．It's easy to think that others' social life is perfect.
F．Body expression plays a huge role in how others relate to us.
G．Unfortunately, we all go through periods of loneliness or feel like we don't fit in.

The Mango Tree—A Friend of All
It was a usual cheerful and playful day for Dorothy. The only difference was that her family had shifted to a new apartment. Although she had been in the new house just two days, Dorothy had already started liking her new home very much, not only because of the spacious rooms, but also because of a large mango tree which had lovingly extended its branches across the balcony of her house. The mango tree not only gave a beautiful view but also served as a home for a large number of birds and small animals. Dorothy's mother was also fond of plants and had kept many potted plants in the balcony.
A week passed by. On a Sunday morning, Dorothy was awakened by a loud noise in her neighbourhood. She ran towards the balcony, and to her surprise, found some people chopping (砍) off the beloved mango tree. She ran up to her mother and explained the matter.
Dorothy and her mother looked down from the balcony. They saw the women under the guidance of Mr. Denver, cutting the mango tree down. Mr. Denver was the resident of the ground floor apartment. He said angrily, “Look, I am getting this job done under my expense. This tree is blocking my view. I cannot see my car properly because of this annoying tree.” Dorothy and her mother understood that there was no point in having an argument with Mr. Denver.
From then on, Dorothy tried all possible ways to take her revenge (报复) against Mr. Denver for cutting her beloved mango tree. She did many tricks such as sticking the gum on his calling bell, pouring sugar in his balcony as attractants, jumping on the floor to create noise, etc.
Days passed by. One morning, as Dorothy was helping her mother water the potted plants kept in the balcony, she couldn't take her eyes away from the fresh green leaves coming from the injured mango tree. Dorothy couldn't hold her excitement and started jumping with delight.
