On her first day at a new job, Gemma was feeling a bit nervous as she hadn’t eaten breakfast. To make up for it, she was looking forward to the delicious lunch her mum had packed — a favorite cheese and coleslaw sandwich along with some popped cookies. Dressed smartly in a navy skirt and cream blouse, Gemma entered the office with high hopes of a great start as a trainee legal secretary.
Annie, who worked on the fourth floor and was quite friendly despite looking a bit stressed, was supposed to show Gemma around. As they walked through the office, Annie introduced Gemma to the kitchen area. There, Gemma noticed a fridge and asked if she could put her lunchbox in it. After that, they encountered a formidable-looking woman wearing bright red lipstick in the corridor. Annie whispered that it might be the office manager, Geraldine, and that Gemma should be careful as she was strict.
Later, Gemma delivered some documents to the wrong people by mistake. Feeling a bit clumsy and in need of a pick-me-up, she went to the kitchen to get her lunch. She took a big bite of her sandwich, only to find that something was wrong. It tasted like egg and bacon, not the cheese and coleslaw she expected. In horror, she realized she had taken the wrong lunchbox.
Desperate to avoid an embarrassing situation, Gemma quickly put the bitten-section of the sandwich back, closed the lunchbox, and placed it back in the fridge. Just then, she saw Geraldine’s name on the lunchbox she had mistakenly eaten from. Panicking, she wrote a hasty note on a sticky note, “I am so sorry, Geraldine. I ate some of your lunch by mistake.” Will Geraldine accept her apology Only time will tell.

25．What can we learn about the lunchbox mix-up
A．Gemma took Geraldine’s lunchbox on purpose.
B．Gemma realized the mistake after taking a bite.
C．The lunch in the wrong box was not delicious at all.
D．Annie helped Gemma find out the owner of the wrong lunchbox.
26．How did Gemma deal with the situation after realizing her mistake
A．She threw away the bitten sandwich.

If you have any broken items or clothes full of holes lying around in your home, bring them to the repair cafe. The Repair Cafe, located within Sulzer Regional Library in Chicago, operates for two hours on the second Saturday of each month, providing a certain time and place for nearby residents to seek assistance with repairing their precious belongings. From rewiring toys to resewing stuffed animals and clothes, the Repair Cafe’s volunteers skilfully tackle various challenges.
The Repair Cafe operates on a nonprofit model, offering its services for free. Furthermore, participants are invited to make voluntary donations, which are then used to purchase specific tools needed for repairs or organize team-building activities for the volunteers.
The concept of the Repair Cafe originated in Amsterdam and was put forward by Martine Postma, a former journalist, in 2009 while writing about waste reduction and prevention. She recognized the lack of repair culture in daily life contributed significantly to the increasing waste problem. Postma established the first Repair Cafe in her neighborhood as a testing ground. The response was overwhelmingly positive, encouraging others to express interest in adopting the model in their communities.
Postma initially worried about finding enough volunteers with the necessary skills, but she discovered that interested individuals with repair expertise (专长) were eager to get involved once the idea became known. Word of mouth played a significant role in attracting talented repairers to the cause.
Looking toward the future, Postma said she hopes that as repair culture is revitalized (复兴), professional repairers will regain their importance, making a living from their skills. She imagines Repair Cafes in every community, creating a global movement to reduce waste and preserve resources.
28．What can we know about the Repair Cafe
A．It is a community-driven initiative. B．It recycles second-hand items.
C．It operates as a commercial business. D．It focuses on fixing everyday objects.
29．Why was the idea of the Repair Cafe proposed
A．To set an example for others. B．To deal with resource shortage.
C．To strengthen community ties. D．To reduce waste of resources.
30．What is skilled repairers’ attitude toward Postma’s idea
A．Objective. B．Doubtful. C．Favorable. D．Reserved.
31．What might Postma do next
A．Launch more meaningful movements. B．Make repairers a popular career choice.
C．Promote the repair culture worldwide. D．Ensure good community development.
Cities across the country are struggling with the problem of worsening roads. When left unaddressed, holes, cracks in the road and broken sidewalks can lead to costly repairs, damage to vehicles and potentially serious accidents. What if there is a way to find these problems before they become major issues A key part of the solution is hiding in plain sight: the common garbage truck.
Waste and recycling trucks may seem like an unlikely solution to the problem of road damage, but of all heavy-duty city vehicles, they are uniquely positioned to help. They are among the only vehicles in a city that regularly travel every city street once or more a week. By equipping them with Al-powered cameras, they can visually identify and record holes in the road, broken sidewalks and other kinds of risks while they travel their regular routes.
Instead of depending on drivers to manually record issues on paper or residents to report holes, Al-powered cameras can find holes before they cause major problems. Additionally, data can be sent back to the control room automatically and in real time. Data collected by waste and recycling trucks can be analyzed to identify and prioritize road repair needs. This data can help city officials make more informed decisions about which repairs to prioritize and allocate (分配) resources more effectively. For example, if a particular street has many holes and cracks in the pavement, a city can give that street a higher priority for repairs.
Many cities have successfully used this technology. Kansas City, Missouri, has been using it to test and repair road damage since 2019. By using data collected by the city’s fleet of waste and recycling trucks to prioritize road repairs, Kansas City has been able to take more timely and reasonable action. The city has reported significant savings in both time and money since using the technology.
32．What makes garbage trucks possible to help solve road problems
A．Their great importance among vehicles.
B．The function of identifying risks in advance.
C．The set working hours and extensive coverage.
D．Their ability to record road conditions automatically.
33．Which is closest in meaning to “informed” in paragraph 3
A．Difficult. B．Surprising. C．Critical. D．Sensible.
34．Why does the author mention Kansas City
A．To predict the potential applications of the technology.
B．To show the distinct features of the technology.
C．To illustrate the positive impact of the technology.
D．To clarify the design concept of the technology.
35．Which can be a suitable title for the text
A．Why Waste Collection Is Updated B．How Al Is Taking Over Roadwork
C．Why Garbage Trucks Lead The Way D．How AI Will Change Road Repair
Sleeping well directly affects your mental and physical health. But lack of enough good-quality sleep can have a serious effect on your daytime energy, productivity and emotional balance. 36 .
Exercise during the day. People who exercise regularly fall asleep faster and sleep better at night. 37 . You’d better exercise in the morning or afternoon. Try to finish moderate workouts at least three hours before bedtime. Relaxing and low-impact exercises such as yoga or gentle stretching can help promote sleep.
38 . If you wake during the night feeling anxious about something, make a brief note of it on paper. Don’t worry about it until the next day when it will be easier to resolve.

Georgina Brough and Christian Allen get daily visits from a group of wild lorikeets (吸蜜鹦鹉). They 41 visited the young couple in early 2021.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
It rained every day during our visit to Suzhou, a city 56 (build) on and around fresh water. Nearly half of the area is covered by lakes, streams and ponds.
Water is one of the four 57 (symbol) elements in a Chinese garden; it represents the ever-changing environment. Other elements include 58 (rock) symbolizing eternity (永恒), plant life to show the shift of the seasons and structures constructed to compose a view or present themselves 59 part of a view.
Our guide, Cathy, 60 (careful) led us along stone paths and zigzag walkways. “Suzhou classical gardens were constructed by talented scholars hundreds of years ago,” she said. “I strongly recommend international tourists experience a special activity when visiting 61 garden.”
While tea is offered at all of the gardens, some have classes and demonstrations. A flower arrangement class is available at the Lingering Garden and a lesson from a bonsai (盆景) master can 62 (arrange) at Tiger Hill. We can imagine 63 elegant these authentic experiences were in old times.
Structures are named 64 (reflect) their purpose, like the Mountain-in-View Tower, the Hall of Distant Fragrance and the “Keep and Listen” Pavilion. Cathy 65 (stop) by one last pond as we were leaving. Standing at the water’s edge, she summarized our visit by calling our attention to a limestone (石灰岩) feature that lay ahead, the native trees and the overarching bridge. “This is a wonderful view in the garden,” she said ever so softly. “It has everything.”

六、书面表达（本大题共1小题）
67．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。
In the eyes of some people, Tom was a kid who often caused trouble. He would secretly stick chewing gum (泡泡糖) on the hair of the girl sitting in the front row in the classroom; he would also scare the classmates passing by at the corner of the corridor. However, one thing changed people’s view on him.
Last summer vacation, Tom went to visit his uncle in Los Angeles with his mother. He was very excited all the way because he was going to see his cousin whom he hadn’t seen for many years. While waiting at the New York Airport, he kept asking his mother when they could board the plane. His mother simply said he should be patient. The fourth time he asked, a noise not far away attracted him. Pushing through the crowd, Tom saw a little boy lying on a trolley, looking a bit painful. Next to him, an older man was anxiously communicating with the staff. As he was eager to know when he could board the plane, Tom didn’t pay much attention to this incident. At this time, the airport broadcast announced that passengers bound for Los Angeles could board the plane. Tom couldn’t wait to pull his mother towards the boarding gate.
Soon, everyone got on the plane. Ten minutes later, the plane began to taxi, indicating that it was about to take off. Tom became even more excited. However, an action by the flight attendant made him a little confused. A staff member walked up to the passenger next to Tom and said, “A little boy who urgently needs to fly to Los Angeles for an operation must board the plane with his brother. But since the plane is full, the last two passengers who boarded need to get off the plane.”
Unfortunately, those two passengers and several others were part of a choir (合唱团), and they had an important performance the next morning, which meant none of them could be missing. So they were a little hesitant about this decision. But no one else on the plane offered to give up their seats.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
At that moment, what Tom did moved the people present.

【听力材料】
W: Hi everyone. I was so happy to tell you about my remarkable year, which I’d describe as a grand adventure.
It’s tricky to know where to start, so I think I’ll just begin at the very beginning. That was when my dad decided to take our family on a trip around the world. He started planning it last January but we didn’t leave until July after my exams in June. During my gap year I wanted to keep my mind engaged, so Miss Barnes, my old geography teacher and Mister green from my amazing maths classes kept in touch with me and provided plenty of assignments.
My dad wanted to give us experience of things you can’t get from books or TV programs. You know things like the amazing smells coming from the Indian street food markets, or the breathtaking light you encounter in deserts. He was right. In the Sahara, it was amazing.
And the real experience of meeting and making friends with people from diverse cultures was invaluable. Some people might argue that it wasn’t a good idea for my parents to take us out of school for a year. But I think it was a wonderful opportunity. Having connections in all those countries has been incredibly enriching. Traveling is a great thing, and I hope you all have the chance to do a lot too.

During my gap year I wanted to keep my mind engaged, so Miss Barnes, my old geography teacher and Mister green from my amazing maths classes kept in touch with me and provided plenty of assignments.
My dad wanted to give us experience of things you can’t get from books or TV programs. You know things like the amazing smells coming from the Indian street food markets, or the breathtaking light you encounter in deserts. He was right. In the Sahara, it was amazing.
And the real experience of meeting and making friends with people from diverse cultures was invaluable. Some people might argue that it wasn’t a good idea for my parents to take us out of school for a year. But I think it was a wonderful opportunity. Having connections in all those countries has been incredibly enriching. Traveling is a great thing, and I hope you all have the chance to do a lot too.

【解析】32．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Waste and recycling trucks may seem like an unlikely solution to the problem of road damage, but of all heavy-duty city vehicles, they are uniquely positioned to help. They are among the only vehicles in a city that regularly travel every city street once or more a week. (垃圾回收卡车似乎不太可能解决道路损坏问题，但在所有重型城市车辆中，它们具有独特的优势。它们是城市中唯一每周定期在每条城市街道行驶一次或多次的车辆之一)”可知，垃圾车有固定的工作时间，且行驶范围广泛，这使得它们能够帮助解决道路问题。故选C项。
33．词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“This data can help city officials make more informed decisions about which repairs to prioritize and allocate (分配) resources more effectively.

(例如，如果某条街道的路面有很多坑洼和裂缝，城市可以优先对这条街道进行维修)”可知，有了数据的支持，城市官员就能够决定哪些维修项目应优先进行，更有效地分配资源。说明数据能让城市官员做出更明智、合理的决策，所以划线词informed与D项“Sensible”意思最接近，意为“明智的，合理的”。故选D项。
34．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Kansas City, Missouri, has been using it to test and repair road damage since 2019. By using data collected by the city’s fleet of waste and recycling trucks to prioritize road repairs, Kansas City has been able to take more timely and reasonable action. The city has reported significant savings in both time and money since using the technology. (密苏里州堪萨斯城自2019年以来一直在使用这项技术来检测和修复道路损坏。通过利用该市垃圾和回收卡车收集的数据来确定道路维修的优先级，堪萨斯城能够采取更及时、合理的行动。自使用这项技术以来，该市在时间和金钱上都节省了不少)”可知，堪萨斯城通过用垃圾和回收卡车收集的数据来确定道路维修的优先级，节省了城市管理的时间和金钱。说明作者提到堪萨斯城是为了说明这项技术带来的积极影响。故选C项。
35．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第二段中“By equipping them with Al powered cameras, they can visually identify and record holes in the road, broken sidewalks and other kinds of risks while they travel their regular routes. (通过为它们配备人工智能摄像头，它们可以在正常行驶路线上直观地识别和记录道路上的坑洼、破损的人行道和其他类型的风险)”以及第三段中“Data collected by waste and recycling trucks can be analyzed to identify and prioritize road repair needs. (可以分析垃圾和回收卡车收集的数据，以确定道路维修需求并确定其优先级)”可知，本文主要介绍了人工智能如何改变道路维修。故D项“How AI Will Change Road Repair”能概括文章内容，最适合作为本文标题。故选D项。

67．【答案】One possible version:
At that moment, what Tom did moved the people present. He took a deep breath and untied his seatbelt. Standing up, he said firmly, “I’ll get off the plane.” His mother looked at him with a mixture of surprise and pride. The other passengers stared in disbelief as Tom collected his things. When arriving at the boarding gate, Tom saw the boy who he had noticed minutes before. The gratitude in the brother’s eyes was obvious as he thanked Tom and his mother repeatedly. Tom just smiled shyly, and cheered for them. The little boy and his brother boarded the plane at the last minute.
Three days later, Tom received a call from the New York Airport. The airport manager first informed him that thanks to his generosity, the boy was saved finally. Then the manager added that they were so touched by Tom’s kindness that they would offer him and his mother free round-trip tickets to any destination of their choice. Tom was overjoyed and employed that chance to get together with his uncle. Tom’s experience taught him that a single act of kindness could have a ripple effect, changing not only the lives of those he helped but also how the world saw him. From then on, he continued to look for chances to make a positive impact, proving that everyone has the potential for great good, no matter their past.
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了原本被认为爱惹麻烦的Tom，因一次善举改变了人们对他的看法。去年暑假，Tom和母亲去看望叔叔，在机场候机时，他注意到一个痛苦的小男孩和焦急的长者。登机后，工作人员称小男孩急需登机去做手术，需最后两名乘客下飞机，但这两名乘客是合唱团成员，因不能缺席演出而犹豫，其他人也没有提出下飞机。关键时刻，Tom主动下飞机，其行为令众人感动。三天后，机场经理致电告知因Tom的慷慨小男孩得救，并为Tom和母亲提供免费往返机票。Tom的经历让他明白善举能产生连锁反应，此后他继续寻找机会做好事。
【详解】1. 段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“在那一刻，Tom的所作所为感动了在场的人。”可知，第一段可描写Tom主动提出下飞机，其他乘客感到非常惊讶，下了飞机后他遇到那个小男孩，被表达感谢，小男孩顺利登机。

On her first day at a new job, Gemma was feeling a bit nervous as she hadn’t eaten breakfast. To make up for it, she was looking forward to the delicious lunch her mum had packed — a favorite cheese and coleslaw sandwich along with some popped cookies. Dressed smartly in a navy skirt and cream blouse, Gemma entered the office with high hopes of a great start as a trainee legal secretary.
Annie, who worked on the fourth floor and was quite friendly despite looking a bit stressed, was supposed to show Gemma around. As they walked through the office, Annie introduced Gemma to the kitchen area. There, Gemma noticed a fridge and asked if she could put her lunchbox in it. After that, they encountered a formidable-looking woman wearing bright red lipstick in the corridor. Annie whispered that it might be the office manager, Geraldine, and that Gemma should be careful as she was strict.
Later, Gemma delivered some documents to the wrong people by mistake. Feeling a bit clumsy and in need of a pick-me-up, she went to the kitchen to get her lunch. She took a big bite of her sandwich, only to find that something was wrong. It tasted like egg and bacon, not the cheese and coleslaw she expected. In horror, she realized she had taken the wrong lunchbox.
Desperate to avoid an embarrassing situation, Gemma quickly put the bitten-section of the sandwich back, closed the lunchbox, and placed it back in the fridge. Just then, she saw Geraldine’s name on the lunchbox she had mistakenly eaten from. Panicking, she wrote a hasty note on a sticky note, “I am so sorry, Geraldine.

If you have any broken items or clothes full of holes lying around in your home, bring them to the repair cafe. The Repair Cafe, located within Sulzer Regional Library in Chicago, operates for two hours on the second Saturday of each month, providing a certain time and place for nearby residents to seek assistance with repairing their precious belongings. From rewiring toys to resewing stuffed animals and clothes, the Repair Cafe’s volunteers skilfully tackle various challenges.
The Repair Cafe operates on a nonprofit model, offering its services for free. Furthermore, participants are invited to make voluntary donations, which are then used to purchase specific tools needed for repairs or organize team-building activities for the volunteers.
The concept of the Repair Cafe originated in Amsterdam and was put forward by Martine Postma, a former journalist, in 2009 while writing about waste reduction and prevention. She recognized the lack of repair culture in daily life contributed significantly to the increasing waste problem. Postma established the first Repair Cafe in her neighborhood as a testing ground. The response was overwhelmingly positive, encouraging others to express interest in adopting the model in their communities.
Postma initially worried about finding enough volunteers with the necessary skills, but she discovered that interested individuals with repair expertise (专长) were eager to get involved once the idea became known. Word of mouth played a significant role in attracting talented repairers to the cause.
Looking toward the future, Postma said she hopes that as repair culture is revitalized (复兴), professional repairers will regain their importance, making a living from their skills. She imagines Repair Cafes in every community, creating a global movement to reduce waste and preserve resources.
28．What can we know about the Repair Cafe
A．It is a community-driven initiative. B．It recycles second-hand items.
C．It operates as a commercial business. D．It focuses on fixing everyday objects.
29．Why was the idea of the Repair Cafe proposed
A．To set an example for others. B．To deal with resource shortage.
C．To strengthen community ties. D．To reduce waste of resources.
30．What is skilled repairers’ attitude toward Postma’s idea
A．Objective. B．Doubtful. C．Favorable. D．Reserved.
31．What might Postma do next
A．Launch more meaningful movements. B．Make repairers a popular career choice.
C．Promote the repair culture worldwide. D．Ensure good community development.
Cities across the country are struggling with the problem of worsening roads. When left unaddressed, holes, cracks in the road and broken sidewalks can lead to costly repairs, damage to vehicles and potentially serious accidents. What if there is a way to find these problems before they become major issues A key part of the solution is hiding in plain sight: the common garbage truck.
Waste and recycling trucks may seem like an unlikely solution to the problem of road damage, but of all heavy-duty city vehicles, they are uniquely positioned to help. They are among the only vehicles in a city that regularly travel every city street once or more a week. By equipping them with Al-powered cameras, they can visually identify and record holes in the road, broken sidewalks and other kinds of risks while they travel their regular routes.
Instead of depending on drivers to manually record issues on paper or residents to report holes, Al-powered cameras can find holes before they cause major problems. Additionally, data can be sent back to the control room automatically and in real time. Data collected by waste and recycling trucks can be analyzed to identify and prioritize road repair needs. This data can help city officials make more informed decisions about which repairs to prioritize and allocate (分配) resources more effectively. For example, if a particular street has many holes and cracks in the pavement, a city can give that street a higher priority for repairs.
Many cities have successfully used this technology. Kansas City, Missouri, has been using it to test and repair road damage since 2019. By using data collected by the city’s fleet of waste and recycling trucks to prioritize road repairs, Kansas City has been able to take more timely and reasonable action. The city has reported significant savings in both time and money since using the technology.
32．What makes garbage trucks possible to help solve road problems
A．Their great importance among vehicles.
B．The function of identifying risks in advance.
C．The set working hours and extensive coverage.
D．Their ability to record road conditions automatically.
33．Which is closest in meaning to “informed” in paragraph 3
A．Difficult. B．Surprising. C．Critical. D．Sensible.
34．Why does the author mention Kansas City
A．To predict the potential applications of the technology.
B．To show the distinct features of the technology.
C．To illustrate the positive impact of the technology.
D．To clarify the design concept of the technology.
35．Which can be a suitable title for the text
A．Why Waste Collection Is Updated B．How Al Is Taking Over Roadwork
C．Why Garbage Trucks Lead The Way D．How AI Will Change Road Repair

Georgina Brough and Christian Allen get daily visits from a group of wild lorikeets (吸蜜鹦鹉). They 41 visited the young couple in early 2021.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
It rained every day during our visit to Suzhou, a city 56 (build) on and around fresh water. Nearly half of the area is covered by lakes, streams and ponds.
Water is one of the four 57 (symbol) elements in a Chinese garden; it represents the ever-changing environment. Other elements include 58 (rock) symbolizing eternity (永恒), plant life to show the shift of the seasons and structures constructed to compose a view or present themselves 59 part of a view.
Our guide, Cathy, 60 (careful) led us along stone paths and zigzag walkways. “Suzhou classical gardens were constructed by talented scholars hundreds of years ago,” she said. “I strongly recommend international tourists experience a special activity when visiting 61 garden.”
While tea is offered at all of the gardens, some have classes and demonstrations. A flower arrangement class is available at the Lingering Garden and a lesson from a bonsai (盆景) master can 62 (arrange) at Tiger Hill. We can imagine 63 elegant these authentic experiences were in old times.
Structures are named 64 (reflect) their purpose, like the Mountain-in-View Tower, the Hall of Distant Fragrance and the “Keep and Listen” Pavilion. Cathy 65 (stop) by one last pond as we were leaving. Standing at the water’s edge, she summarized our visit by calling our attention to a limestone (石灰岩) feature that lay ahead, the native trees and the overarching bridge. “This is a wonderful view in the garden,” she said ever so softly. “It has everything.”

六、书面表达（本大题共1小题）
67．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。
In the eyes of some people, Tom was a kid who often caused trouble. He would secretly stick chewing gum (泡泡糖) on the hair of the girl sitting in the front row in the classroom; he would also scare the classmates passing by at the corner of the corridor. However, one thing changed people’s view on him.
Last summer vacation, Tom went to visit his uncle in Los Angeles with his mother. He was very excited all the way because he was going to see his cousin whom he hadn’t seen for many years. While waiting at the New York Airport, he kept asking his mother when they could board the plane. His mother simply said he should be patient. The fourth time he asked, a noise not far away attracted him. Pushing through the crowd, Tom saw a little boy lying on a trolley, looking a bit painful. Next to him, an older man was anxiously communicating with the staff. As he was eager to know when he could board the plane, Tom didn’t pay much attention to this incident. At this time, the airport broadcast announced that passengers bound for Los Angeles could board the plane. Tom couldn’t wait to pull his mother towards the boarding gate.
Soon, everyone got on the plane. Ten minutes later, the plane began to taxi, indicating that it was about to take off. Tom became even more excited. However, an action by the flight attendant made him a little confused. A staff member walked up to the passenger next to Tom and said, “A little boy who urgently needs to fly to Los Angeles for an operation must board the plane with his brother. But since the plane is full, the last two passengers who boarded need to get off the plane.”
Unfortunately, those two passengers and several others were part of a choir (合唱团), and they had an important performance the next morning, which meant none of them could be missing. So they were a little hesitant about this decision. But no one else on the plane offered to give up their seats.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
At that moment, what Tom did moved the people present.

【听力材料】
W: Hi everyone. I was so happy to tell you about my remarkable year, which I’d describe as a grand adventure.
It’s tricky to know where to start, so I think I’ll just begin at the very beginning. That was when my dad decided to take our family on a trip around the world. He started planning it last January but we didn’t leave until July after my exams in June. During my gap year I wanted to keep my mind engaged, so Miss Barnes, my old geography teacher and Mister green from my amazing maths classes kept in touch with me and provided plenty of assignments.
My dad wanted to give us experience of things you can’t get from books or TV programs. You know things like the amazing smells coming from the Indian street food markets, or the breathtaking light you encounter in deserts. He was right. In the Sahara, it was amazing.
And the real experience of meeting and making friends with people from diverse cultures was invaluable. Some people might argue that it wasn’t a good idea for my parents to take us out of school for a year. But I think it was a wonderful opportunity. Having connections in all those countries has been incredibly enriching. Traveling is a great thing, and I hope you all have the chance to do a lot too.

【解析】28．细节理解题。根据第一段中“If you have any broken items or clothes full of holes lying around in your home, bring them to the repair cafe.(如果你家里有任何破损的物品或满是洞的衣服，把它们带到修理咖啡馆)”和“From rewiring toys to resewing stuffed animals and clothes, the Repair Cafe’s volunteers skilfully tackle various challenges.(从重新组装玩具到重新缝制毛绒动物和衣服，‘维修咖啡馆’的志愿者们熟练地应对各种挑战)”可知，“维修咖啡馆”主要修理日常物品，故选D。
29．细节理解题。根据第三段中“The concept of the Repair Cafe originated in Amsterdam and was put forward by Martine Postma, a former journalist, in 2009 while writing about waste reduction and prevention.(‘维修咖啡馆’的概念起源于阿姆斯特丹，由前记者Martine Postma于2009年在撰写有关减少和预防废物的文章时提出)”可知，提出“维修咖啡馆”的想法是为了减少浪费，故选D。
30．推理判断题。根据第四段中“Postma initially worried about finding enough volunteers with the necessary skills, but she discovered that interested individuals with repair expertise (专长) were eager to get involved once the idea became known.(一开始，Postma担心找不到足够的具备必要技能的志愿者，但她发现，一旦这个想法被知道，有兴趣的、有维修专业知识的人都渴望参与进来)”可知，专业的维修人员渴望参与进来，推知他们对Postma的想法持支持态度，故选C。
31．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Looking toward the future, Postma said she hopes that as repair culture is revitalized (复兴), professional repairers will regain their importance, making a living from their skills. She imagines Repair Cafes in every community, creating a global movement to reduce waste and preserve resources.(展望未来，Postma说，她希望随着维修文化的复兴，专业维修人员将重获重视，依靠他们的技能谋生。她设想在每个社区都开设‘维修咖啡馆’，发起一场减少浪费和保护资源的全球运动)”可知，Postma接下来可能在全球推广维修文化，故选C。

【解析】32．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Waste and recycling trucks may seem like an unlikely solution to the problem of road damage, but of all heavy-duty city vehicles, they are uniquely positioned to help. They are among the only vehicles in a city that regularly travel every city street once or more a week. (垃圾回收卡车似乎不太可能解决道路损坏问题，但在所有重型城市车辆中，它们具有独特的优势。它们是城市中唯一每周定期在每条城市街道行驶一次或多次的车辆之一)”可知，垃圾车有固定的工作时间，且行驶范围广泛，这使得它们能够帮助解决道路问题。故选C项。
33．词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“This data can help city officials make more informed decisions about which repairs to prioritize and allocate (分配) resources more effectively. (这些数据可以帮助城市官员更……地决定哪些维修项目应优先进行，并更有效地分配资源)”和其后“For example, if a particular street has many holes and cracks in the pavement, a city can give that street a higher priority for repairs. (例如，如果某条街道的路面有很多坑洼和裂缝，城市可以优先对这条街道进行维修)”可知，有了数据的支持，城市官员就能够决定哪些维修项目应优先进行，更有效地分配资源。说明数据能让城市官员做出更明智、合理的决策，所以划线词informed与D项“Sensible”意思最接近，意为“明智的，合理的”。故选D项。
34．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Kansas City, Missouri, has been using it to test and repair road damage since 2019. By using data collected by the city’s fleet of waste and recycling trucks to prioritize road repairs, Kansas City has been able to take more timely and reasonable action. The city has reported significant savings in both time and money since using the technology. (密苏里州堪萨斯城自2019年以来一直在使用这项技术来检测和修复道路损坏。通过利用该市垃圾和回收卡车收集的数据来确定道路维修的优先级，堪萨斯城能够采取更及时、合理的行动。自使用这项技术以来，该市在时间和金钱上都节省了不少)”可知，堪萨斯城通过用垃圾和回收卡车收集的数据来确定道路维修的优先级，节省了城市管理的时间和金钱。说明作者提到堪萨斯城是为了说明这项技术带来的积极影响。故选C项。
35．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第二段中“By equipping them with Al powered cameras, they can visually identify and record holes in the road, broken sidewalks and other kinds of risks while they travel their regular routes. (通过为它们配备人工智能摄像头，它们可以在正常行驶路线上直观地识别和记录道路上的坑洼、破损的人行道和其他类型的风险)”以及第三段中“Data collected by waste and recycling trucks can be analyzed to identify and prioritize road repair needs. (可以分析垃圾和回收卡车收集的数据，以确定道路维修需求并确定其优先级)”可知，本文主要介绍了人工智能如何改变道路维修。故D项“How AI Will Change Road Repair”能概括文章内容，最适合作为本文标题。故选D项。

67．【答案】One possible version:
At that moment, what Tom did moved the people present. He took a deep breath and untied his seatbelt. Standing up, he said firmly, “I’ll get off the plane.” His mother looked at him with a mixture of surprise and pride. The other passengers stared in disbelief as Tom collected his things. When arriving at the boarding gate, Tom saw the boy who he had noticed minutes before. The gratitude in the brother’s eyes was obvious as he thanked Tom and his mother repeatedly. Tom just smiled shyly, and cheered for them. The little boy and his brother boarded the plane at the last minute.
Three days later, Tom received a call from the New York Airport. The airport manager first informed him that thanks to his generosity, the boy was saved finally. Then the manager added that they were so touched by Tom’s kindness that they would offer him and his mother free round-trip tickets to any destination of their choice. Tom was overjoyed and employed that chance to get together with his uncle. Tom’s experience taught him that a single act of kindness could have a ripple effect, changing not only the lives of those he helped but also how the world saw him. From then on, he continued to look for chances to make a positive impact, proving that everyone has the potential for great good, no matter their past.
