When educator Curtis Lewis noticed he was the only Black male teacher in a district of 20 elementary schools, he decided to do something about it.
In the United States, Black male teachers made up 1.3% of all teachers in K-12 grades in public schools for the 2020-2021 school year. That makes them the second least-represented in teaching, with Asian men representing just 0.5% of all teachers.
Lewis founded the Black Male Educators Alliance, or B.ME.A, in 2017. a nonprofit that aims to create just educational environments for Black male educators and students, particularly in Detroit
As B.M.E.A. grew, Lewis and his educators launched the Youth Leadership Development Program, focusing on improving math and literacy skills among Black and Brown male students in pre-K through fifth grades. The program also helps develop students’ essential leadership skills, including communication, collaboration, and creative problem-solving, which they will need as they grow older. Currently, it has 77 high school educators and nearly 250 elementary school students. “We believe our Youth Leadership Development Program has many benefits, but one is to help Black males develop interest in becoming teachers,” educator Joseph said.
The B.M.E.A. website states that the organization has a 100% retention (保留) rate for their Teacher and Principal Fellowships (奖学金). In Detroit, students feel the impact of B.M.E.A. and its programs. “They help me know how to speak up for myself and speak up for others,” high school student DeRick McCalebb said. The program is designed to positively impact students like McCalebb, who can go back and be a role model to younger students.
The B.M.E.A. website reports that 91% of students in the math fellowship have shown growth through various assessment tests, while a summer program further strengthens the development of Black male students in grades 2-11. The program supports students with math, social-emotional learning, and cultural development. according to the B.M.E.A. website.
23. What motivated Curtis L. Lewis to found B.M.E.A.
A. He wanted to make more friends.
B. He noticed the lack of Black male teachers.
C. He wanted to help students improve math skills.
D. He felt there were not enough teachers in Detroit

A. By carrying out various assessment tests.
B. By offering financial aid to Black and Brown students.
C. By helping Black and Brown students become teachers.
D. By improving students’ leadership, math and literacy skills.
25. What does the 100% retention rate for Teacher and Principal Fellowships suggest

B. Few people apply for the fellowships.
C. The fellowships are much too expensive.
D. Detroit students can be a role model to younger ones.

The world of work will likely look very different by the time the current generation of kids finishes high school.
Experts in careers and education have predicted that advances in technology especially artificial intelligence, will transform the way humans work in the future. Education futurist and school consultant Tony Ryan said artificial intelligence will transform the future workforce across every industry, making some jobs outdated while creating others.
While some jobs could be replaced by robots, others will still need a human touch. Mr. Ryan said jobs requiring “empathy and connection,” such as teaching, social work and nursing, would continue to be needed in the future. “We need to be careful that we don’t be so crazy about the technology that we allow it to take our humanity,” he said.
Professor David Cropley from the University of South Australia said advancing technology would shape the careers of today’s kids as AI products continued to advance.“However, I don’t think these will simply replace humans in the world of work, Rather, I see them as a tool to assist human specialists,” Professor Cropley said. “For example, with medical diagnosis (诊断), doctors will consult with their AI assistant to confirm what is visible on an X-ray. The AI provides an input but does not replace the human in making the final decision. This is because something like a medical consultation still begins and ends with a human interaction.”
He predicted that some blue-collar jobs, such as shearing (剪) a sheep, would still need a human to perform them. “The automation and AI, as capable as it might be, is still really just a very fancy tool,” Professor Cropley said.“Hammers and saws didn’t displace carpenters (木匠), they just made the job of carpentry easier and more efficient for the human.”
Critical and creative thinkers with skills in science, technology, engineering and mathematics would also be in high demand by 2038. he said.
27. What did Tony Ryan predict about the future workforce
A. All jobs will be replaced by AI.
B. Some jobs will still need humans.
C. AI will only impact certain industries.
D. AI will create more jobs than it destroys
28. Based on Professor Cropley’s statement, why do doctors still make the final decision in medical consultations
A. AI is not accurate enough.
B. AI cannot understand human emotions.
C. Doctors are more qualified than AI assistants.
D. Medical consultations require human interaction.
29. Why did Professor Cropley mention hammers and saws in his statement
A. To show the history of tools.
B. To predict the future of carpentry jobs.
C. To explain AI’s role in assisting workers
D. To emphasize the power of automation.
30. Which could be the most suitable title
A. The Future of Work in an AI World
B. The Rise of Robots in the Workforce
C. How AI Will Replace Human Workers
D. The Future of Human Empathy in AI Jobs
D
A family of golden lion tamarins (金狮面狨) is on the move. With two babies on his back and his mate beside him, the father tamarin reaches for a branch in Brazil’s Atlantic Forest. Just a few years ago, this land was a treeless cattle farm. But conservationists knew that if more forest was lost,then the golden lion tamarins — which live wild nowhere else on Earth — would be gone too.
The Atlantic Forest, once the size of Egypt, had been destroyed greatly since the 1500s by European settlers clearing land for settlements. Over the past century, farmers cut down more trees to make way for farms until the forest was less than 10% of its original size. With fewer trees, tamarins became isolated, and by the 1970s, only about 200 golden lion tamarins were left in the Atlantic Forest.
In 1972. biologists gathered at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo to form a plan to save the species. They decided to breed tamarins in captivity (圈养) and later reintroduce them to the wild. During the summers of the 1970s, the tamarins underwent “boot camp.” This “boot camp” exposed them to natural conditions, teaching them to how to find food and navigate trees, all while monitoring their safety.
Meanwhile, the Golden Lion Tamarin Association in Brazil worked on restoring the tamarins’ habitat. They bought land from private owners, partnered with farmers and planted trees to reconnect forest patches (碎片). They also engaged local communities by offering jobs and educating citizens about conservation. As a result over 40 square miles of forest were restored.
By 1983, the first group of tamarins were ready to be released back into the wild. Today, nearly 2, 500 golden lion tamarins live in the Atlantic Forest. A third of them are descendants of captive-born tamarins. Conservation efforts continue, with ongoing reforestation and educational programs aimed at protecting both the monkeys and their environment.
31. What was the Atlantic Forest like before the 1500s
A. It was as large as Egypt.
B. It was a treeless cattle farm.
C. It was less than 10% of its current size.
D. It was home to about 200 golden lion tamarins.
32. Why did the number of golden lion tamarins drop sharply
A. They couldn’t find food.
BTheir habitat was destroyed.
C. They were hunted by humans.
D. They couldn't adapt to the climate.
33. Why did the biologists expose tamarins to natural conditions in “boot camp”
A. To make them stronger.
B. To teach them survival skills.
C. To help them find more food.
D. To make them adapt to the wild.
34. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “descendants” in the last paragraph
A. Close followers.
B. Distant relatives.
C. Later generations.
D. Successful partners.

Too much screen use can affect your child’s health and well-being. Here are some practical tips to help you guide your child in managing screen use.
First, start with an open conversation with your child. Jumping straight into setting limits is no fun. ___35___ Ask about their favorite apps, games, or activities online. This helps you understand what they enjoy and opens the door for discussions.
___36___ Explain to them how too many of anything, including screens, can steal time away from other activities like learning, sleeping, exercising and spending time physically with friends and family - which are all important for their well-being.
When it comes to setting realistic screen use rules, involve your child in the decision-making process. Consider creating a plan together that includes family activities, outdoor play, and limited screen use. Encourage them to reflect on how different activities make them feel, and help them find a balance that they are comfortable with. ___37___
Most importantly, be your child’s role model. Your child learns a lot by observing you, so demonstrate healthy screen habits yourself. ___38___ Show them how you manage your screen use.
Remember, managing screen time is a gradual process. The goal isn’t to ban screen time entirely but to help your child use it wisely, creating a balanced approach that supports their growth and development. ___39___ After all, parenthood is a journey, not a sprint. You will get there by taking it step by step.
A. Rather, begin by showing interest.
B. Next, don’t seek perfection right away.
C. Next, talk to your child about balance.
D. Teach your child healthy screen habits.

I was hiking with Sam and Kyle, both students in my youth group, to show them a cliff where you could feel the sea spray on your face. I knew the area could be dangerous, but I had hiked there many times before.
We sat in the sun, watching the waves crash against the volcanic cliffs. I figured it was safe enough to get closer. I crept to the edge, Kyle right behind me, to feel the salty sea spray. Sam stood farther back, recording a video.
Suddenly, a massive wave hit us. I was swept off the cliff and into the ocean. I gasped but felt nothing solid beneath me — no rocks, no shoreline. No safety. I screamed for help. I could hear the boys yelling, but couldn’t make out a word. I shut my burning eyes and swam hard for the surface, but I could feel the current dragging me farther out. I wasn’t a strong swimmer, but I remembered my diving training, which taught me not to panic. So I focused on staying calm, kicking with straight legs to save energy.
I faced the 15-foot waves and tried to stay on top of them. After about 30 minutes, I was so tired that I started to lose hope. The sea was tugging at my legs, my shoes, my clothes, with the relentlessness of gravity. As the waves pushed me under, death seemed more likely than rescue.
I thought about giving in, letting myself sink. But then I would think: “What if help is right over the ridge ” More importantly, I couldn’t let my students see me as someone lacking courage. My will to survive kept me going despite the exhaustion and relentless tide. After over an hour, I held on, refusing to let go until help came.

【答案】
My favorite hobby
My favorite hobby is reading, especially books about history. History fascinates me because it’s like a time machine that takes me to different eras and places. Through reading, I’ve learned about ancient civilizations, great leaders, and important events that shaped the world.
What I love most is how history helps me understand the present. For example, reading about past conflicts teaches me the importance of peace. It also improves my critical thinking and broadens my perspective.
Whenever I open a history book, I feel like I’m exploring a new world. It’s not just a hobby — it’s a way to grow and learn.

【答案】 Just as I felt I could no longer hold on, I heard the sound of a helicopter approaching. I waved my arms weakly praying to be seen. The helicopter circled above, and a rescue diver was lowered from it, and with practiced precision he reached me. I was lifted into the aircrat, shivering and exhausted, but alive. The medics immediately wrapped me in blankets and checked me over, providing much-needed first aid as we flew to the hospital. I kept thinking of Sam and Kyle, hoping they were safe and hadn’t done anything reckless to try to save me.
Later I learned that it was Sam and Kyle’s calmness and quick thinking that saved my life. As soon as I was swept into the sea, they didn’t panic. Sam, still holding his phone, quickly called the emergency services. He accurately described our location and the situation. Meanwhile, Kyle kept an eye on me, shouting words of encouragement to keep me going. This experience not only tested my survival skills but also strengthened the bond between us. It was a reminder of the strength found in unity and the importance of never giving up, no matter how desperate the situation seems.
