In 2006, as a 10-year-old living in one of Delhi’s busiest markets, I would often run downstairs to buy milk, eggs or vegetables for my mother. The shopkeepers knew me by face and often guessed my order before I even spoke. These small market runs taught me more than I realised at the time — quick mental maths, conversations with strangers, and backup plans when a shop was shut. So much unintentional learning.
Over time, these routines became daily comfort. Whether it was me or my mother, we enjoyed the smiles, brief chats, and snacks along the way — small moments that quietly held our lives together.
Now, things are different. With Blinkit, Zepto, and Instamart, groceries arrive in 10 minutes. While I still enjoy shopping in the market after work, my mother begins her day by comparing prices on apps and ordering everything with a few taps (点击). The grocery trips that once lifted her mood, improved her health, and helped her stay connected with the neighbourhood have disappeared. The joy of being known, of interacting, is dying.
And it’s not just her. Many of us now rely more on apps and less on people. Our growing reliance on instant delivery is reducing those everyday moments of interaction. There’s the financial cost too. When you’re too tired or too busy to plan your groceries, you end up ordering in pieces — adding things you don’t need just to hit the free-delivery minimum.
Of course, these apps are a gift on tough days when we’re sick or short on time. But next time you feel like opening a grocery app, try walking to your local shop instead. You might come back with more than just groceries — a smile, a quick chat, and a sense of connection. Sometimes, the cost of convenience isn’t what you pay. It’s what you miss.
24. What does the author think of early market runs
A. Adventurous. B. Valuable. C. Tiring. D. Complex.
25. How did the author’s mother change her shopping habit later
A. She turned to online shopping. B. She visited groceries with neighbours.
C. She cared about discounts in stores. D. She ordered whatever lifted her mood.
26. What concerns the author about instant delivery
A. It takes away small social moments. B. It involves paying extra service fees.
C. It results in poor physical condition. D. It makes people addicted to shopping.
27. What is implied in the last paragraph
A. A shared gift doubles its joy. B. Convenience comes at a cost.
C. A smile is free but worth a lot. D. Rush breaks human connection.
C
Walk down a street decades ago, and chances were good that you’d come across a vision of the Spielbergian sort: groups of school-age children charging down the block on bikes, full of purpose and without protective headwear. You’re less likely to catch that kind of scene today.
With the decline in cycling, kids are losing more than a potential mode of transport. Biking supports children’s independence and overall health. And crucially, once kids are trained, it doesn’t require much effort from adults. Moreover, when enough children bike, whole neighborhoods can be transformed — safer and more friendly.
Now kids seldom get out. But they desire mobility while threatening traffic and parental concerns frequently stand in their way. This fear is well founded. Roadways have gotten faster and busier. The annual child cycling deaths have actually dropped, but it’s likely due to reduced ridership. The decrease seems reflective not of streets’ safety but rather of parents’ understanding of the heightened risks massive vehicles pose.
Families haven’t always had to be this vigilant. Children in previous decades may not have had marked bike lanes (车道) or other protective road features. But they had more space to wander, and fewer and slower cars to deal with. It wasn’t until public planning prioritized cars that children lost both play areas and the freedom to travel independently.
By adding more bike-friendly infrastructure (基础设施), local governments could encourage children to ride again. Meanwhile, teaching road rules falls largely to caregivers. Finding safe-enough spots for practice might be tough, yet with a little creativity, parents can track down dead ends or unused parking lots.
Putting in that work may demand more of parents in the short term. But the investment is worth it. Many parents want to raise confident and adaptable children, yet over-scheduled extracurriculars (课外活动) requiring constant monitoring rarely help. What many need is a bit more freedom: time to explore, to ride aimlessly — until they’re ready to take off.
28. Why does the author mention the Spielbergian scene
A. To criticize kids’ poor safety awareness.
B. To highlight the potential dangers of cycling.
C. To stress the importance of safe neighborhoods.
D. To show the past popularity of cycling among kids.
29. What leads to the decline of annual child cycling deaths
A. Improved street safety. B. Reduction in vehicle size.
C. Decreased cycling frequency. D. Strict application of traffic rules.
30. What does the underlined word “vigilant” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Tolerant. B. Watchful. C. Patient. D. Optimistic.
31. What are parents advised to do to get kids riding
A. Explore secure spaces for practice. B. Invest in bike-friendly infrastructure.
C. Provide sufficient monitoring for kids. D. Stop arranging extracurricular activities.
D
Throughout history, trees have played a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance. They absorb CO2 and transform it into oxygen. But one of the challenges with this traditional carbon absorption is that the CO2 trees store can be released back into the atmosphere when they die.
However, the discovery of certain trees in Kenya adds a new dimension to this natural process. These trees, also found in several other countries, have been observed to transform CO2 into calcium oxalate. Then bacteria (细菌) present in the trees and surrounding soil transform it further into calcium carbonate (碳酸钙), a primary component of limestone and chalk. The unique process ensures that the CO2 is kept in solid form for much longer, even after the tree’s life ends. This finding was emphasized by Mike Rowley from the University of Zurich at the Goldschmidt Conference.
While the scientific community is optimistic about these findings, several challenges remain. The primary concern is determining the exact amount of CO2 that these trees can transform throughout their lifetime. Without this accurate data, it is challenging to assess the full impact of this method globally. Understanding the ecological balance and ensuring the preservation of biodiversity are crucial before worldwide planting of these trees. Cooperative research efforts are needed to explore these aspects and develop a comprehensive strategy for using these trees as a natural solution to climate change.
This discovery in Kenya invites us to reconsider the potential of natural processes in addressing environmental challenges. While technological solutions to climate change are vital, integrating natural methods offers an alternative approach. The unique ability of these trees presents a promising method for exploration.
The journey to fighting climate change is complex. As we dig deeper into understanding natural phenomena like the Kenyan trees, we must ask ourselves: How can we make the best of the power of nature to create a sustainable future for generations to come
32. What is special about the trees found in Kenya
A. They absorb more CO2. B. They help turn CO2 into solids.
C. They release oxygen quickly. D. They live in harmony with bacteria.
33 What is the core challenge before applying the discovery globally
A. Assessing the cost of the process. B. Understanding the impact on soil.
C. Quantifying the CO2 transformation. D. Collecting the data on biodiversity.
34. What does the author try to explore in the last two paragraphs
A. The seriousness of climate change. B. The method of green development.
C. The prospect of scientific approaches. D. The role of nature in climate solutions.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. A defensive Strategy in Nature B. A Recent Advance in CO2 Research
C. Kenyan Trees: A Natural Carbon Lock D. Tree Planting: A Key to Ecological Balance

May had just finished gluing two eyes onto her new craft (手工艺品) when Mom walked into her room. “Wow, an impressive Chinese dragon! Will that be keeping you company tomorrow ” Mom asked with a smile. May’s stomach tightened. Tomorrow was her first day at a new school. Her family had just moved from China to this new country over the summer.
Seeing the worry on May’s face, Mom added, “New-school nerves, right I bet you’ll make all kinds of friends just by being you.” She kissed the top of May’s head before leaving the room. As May packed her backpack, she thought about Mom’s words. She hoped Mom was right.
The next morning, she decided to bring Longlong, her handmade Chinese dragon, to school. Throughout the morning, it helped to know Longlong was nearby. May found the courage to get through hellos and small talks without turning bright red.
Everything was going fine—until she checked her bag after the break. Longlong was missing! Her confidence disappeared. And now it was lunchtime. How could she face a room full of kids she didn’t know As her class lined up outside the lunchroom, May busied herself by reading the posters on the wall. One caught her eye:
Want to Join an After School Club
Sign up by Friday!
Chess, Math, Cooking, Drama, Kickball…
OR
See Mrs. Miller in Room 301, Teaching Building B with New Ideas!
Mom had told May clubs could be a way to make friends with kids who shared her interests. But none of these clubs seemed quite right.
Just then, a voice called, “Hey, you! In the red shirt!” May turned. A girl walked up and handed her Longlong, saying it had fallen from her backpack. She introduced herself as Olivia, a student from Mrs. Miller’s class. May thanked her and felt braver as she held Longlong again. When Olivia learned that May had made it herself, she said she also liked crafts and asked if May could teach her.

M: Great. For my brothers sports were their priority at weekends. I was the only one of them who was interested in the cinema but I wasn’t the sort of fan with posters all over the wall.
W: What would you have done if you hadn’t become an actor
M: My dad is a police officer. My mother is a doctor. Even so neither of these jobs appeals to me. My elder brother has an import export company and I guess I would be as a partner.
W: Thank you, Martin.

【原文】Hi, everyone. We have been working hard on our project to keep senior citizens in the area active. With community support, we proudly opened the senior community centre last Monday. It offers free exercise classes music sessions and social events for elderly members. While this is a big achievement, our project now faces a problem. We are running out of funds for special programs, for example some members need gentle Yoga classes or wheelchair friendly activities. But these require trained instructors and equipment we can’t afford. That’s why we are reaching out for help. We urgently need volunteers, especially dance teachers and physical trains to lead fun, safe activities. Additionally, I handed out a list of local businesss that might donate supplies or services. If you can call or email them to explain our needs, it would greatly help. Our goal is to create a welcoming space where seniors feel valued and engaged. With your help, we can turn this vision into reality. Please let me know by Friday. Thank you.

In 2006, as a 10-year-old living in one of Delhi’s busiest markets, I would often run downstairs to buy milk, eggs or vegetables for my mother. The shopkeepers knew me by face and often guessed my order before I even spoke. These small market runs taught me more than I realised at the time — quick mental maths, conversations with strangers, and backup plans when a shop was shut. So much unintentional learning.
Over time, these routines became daily comfort. Whether it was me or my mother, we enjoyed the smiles, brief chats, and snacks along the way — small moments that quietly held our lives together.
Now, things are different. With Blinkit, Zepto, and Instamart, groceries arrive in 10 minutes. While I still enjoy shopping in the market after work, my mother begins her day by comparing prices on apps and ordering everything with a few taps (点击). The grocery trips that once lifted her mood, improved her health, and helped her stay connected with the neighbourhood have disappeared. The joy of being known, of interacting, is dying.
And it’s not just her. Many of us now rely more on apps and less on people. Our growing reliance on instant delivery is reducing those everyday moments of interaction. There’s the financial cost too. When you’re too tired or too busy to plan your groceries, you end up ordering in pieces — adding things you don’t need just to hit the free-delivery minimum.
Of course, these apps are a gift on tough days when we’re sick or short on time. But next time you feel like opening a grocery app, try walking to your local shop instead. You might come back with more than just groceries — a smile, a quick chat, and a sense of connection. Sometimes, the cost of convenience isn’t what you pay. It’s what you miss.
24. What does the author think of early market runs
A. Adventurous. B. Valuable. C. Tiring. D. Complex.
25. How did the author’s mother change her shopping habit later
A. She turned to online shopping. B. She visited groceries with neighbours.
C. She cared about discounts in stores. D. She ordered whatever lifted her mood.
26. What concerns the author about instant delivery
A. It takes away small social moments. B. It involves paying extra service fees.
C. It results in poor physical condition. D. It makes people addicted to shopping.
27. What is implied in the last paragraph
A. A shared gift doubles its joy. B. Convenience comes at a cost.
C. A smile is free but worth a lot. D. Rush breaks human connection.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. A 27. B
C
Walk down a street decades ago, and chances were good that you’d come across a vision of the Spielbergian sort: groups of school-age children charging down the block on bikes, full of purpose and without protective headwear. You’re less likely to catch that kind of scene today.
With the decline in cycling, kids are losing more than a potential mode of transport. Biking supports children’s independence and overall health. And crucially, once kids are trained, it doesn’t require much effort from adults. Moreover, when enough children bike, whole neighborhoods can be transformed — safer and more friendly.
Now kids seldom get out. But they desire mobility while threatening traffic and parental concerns frequently stand in their way. This fear is well founded. Roadways have gotten faster and busier. The annual child cycling deaths have actually dropped, but it’s likely due to reduced ridership. The decrease seems reflective not of streets’ safety but rather of parents’ understanding of the heightened risks massive vehicles pose.
Families haven’t always had to be this vigilant. Children in previous decades may not have had marked bike lanes (车道) or other protective road features. But they had more space to wander, and fewer and slower cars to deal with. It wasn’t until public planning prioritized cars that children lost both play areas and the freedom to travel independently.
By adding more bike-friendly infrastructure (基础设施), local governments could encourage children to ride again. Meanwhile, teaching road rules falls largely to caregivers. Finding safe-enough spots for practice might be tough, yet with a little creativity, parents can track down dead ends or unused parking lots.
Putting in that work may demand more of parents in the short term. But the investment is worth it. Many parents want to raise confident and adaptable children, yet over-scheduled extracurriculars (课外活动) requiring constant monitoring rarely help. What many need is a bit more freedom: time to explore, to ride aimlessly — until they’re ready to take off.
28. Why does the author mention the Spielbergian scene
A. To criticize kids’ poor safety awareness.
B. To highlight the potential dangers of cycling.
C. To stress the importance of safe neighborhoods.
D. To show the past popularity of cycling among kids.
29. What leads to the decline of annual child cycling deaths
A. Improved street safety. B. Reduction in vehicle size.
C. Decreased cycling frequency. D. Strict application of traffic rules.
30. What does the underlined word “vigilant” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Tolerant. B. Watchful. C. Patient. D. Optimistic.
31. What are parents advised to do to get kids riding
A. Explore secure spaces for practice. B. Invest in bike-friendly infrastructure.
C. Provide sufficient monitoring for kids. D. Stop arranging extracurricular activities.
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. B 31. A
D
Throughout history, trees have played a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance. They absorb CO2 and transform it into oxygen. But one of the challenges with this traditional carbon absorption is that the CO2 trees store can be released back into the atmosphere when they die.
However, the discovery of certain trees in Kenya adds a new dimension to this natural process. These trees, also found in several other countries, have been observed to transform CO2 into calcium oxalate. Then bacteria (细菌) present in the trees and surrounding soil transform it further into calcium carbonate (碳酸钙), a primary component of limestone and chalk. The unique process ensures that the CO2 is kept in solid form for much longer, even after the tree’s life ends. This finding was emphasized by Mike Rowley from the University of Zurich at the Goldschmidt Conference.
While the scientific community is optimistic about these findings, several challenges remain. The primary concern is determining the exact amount of CO2 that these trees can transform throughout their lifetime. Without this accurate data, it is challenging to assess the full impact of this method globally. Understanding the ecological balance and ensuring the preservation of biodiversity are crucial before worldwide planting of these trees. Cooperative research efforts are needed to explore these aspects and develop a comprehensive strategy for using these trees as a natural solution to climate change.
This discovery in Kenya invites us to reconsider the potential of natural processes in addressing environmental challenges. While technological solutions to climate change are vital, integrating natural methods offers an alternative approach. The unique ability of these trees presents a promising method for exploration.
The journey to fighting climate change is complex. As we dig deeper into understanding natural phenomena like the Kenyan trees, we must ask ourselves: How can we make the best of the power of nature to create a sustainable future for generations to come
32. What is special about the trees found in Kenya
A. They absorb more CO2. B. They help turn CO2 into solids.
C. They release oxygen quickly. D. They live in harmony with bacteria.
33 What is the core challenge before applying the discovery globally
A. Assessing the cost of the process. B. Understanding the impact on soil.
C. Quantifying the CO2 transformation. D. Collecting the data on biodiversity.
34. What does the author try to explore in the last two paragraphs
A. The seriousness of climate change. B. The method of green development.
C. The prospect of scientific approaches. D. The role of nature in climate solutions.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. A defensive Strategy in Nature B. A Recent Advance in CO2 Research
C. Kenyan Trees: A Natural Carbon Lock D. Tree Planting: A Key to Ecological Balance

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。
May had just finished gluing two eyes onto her new craft (手工艺品) when Mom walked into her room. “Wow, an impressive Chinese dragon! Will that be keeping you company tomorrow ” Mom asked with a smile. May’s stomach tightened. Tomorrow was her first day at a new school. Her family had just moved from China to this new country over the summer.
Seeing the worry on May’s face, Mom added, “New-school nerves, right I bet you’ll make all kinds of friends just by being you.” She kissed the top of May’s head before leaving the room. As May packed her backpack, she thought about Mom’s words. She hoped Mom was right.
The next morning, she decided to bring Longlong, her handmade Chinese dragon, to school. Throughout the morning, it helped to know Longlong was nearby. May found the courage to get through hellos and small talks without turning bright red.
Everything was going fine—until she checked her bag after the break. Longlong was missing! Her confidence disappeared. And now it was lunchtime. How could she face a room full of kids she didn’t know As her class lined up outside the lunchroom, May busied herself by reading the posters on the wall. One caught her eye:
Want to Join an After School Club
Sign up by Friday!
Chess, Math, Cooking, Drama, Kickball…
OR
See Mrs. Miller in Room 301, Teaching Building B with New Ideas!
Mom had told May clubs could be a way to make friends with kids who shared her interests. But none of these clubs seemed quite right.
Just then, a voice called, “Hey, you! In the red shirt!” May turned. A girl walked up and handed her Longlong, saying it had fallen from her backpack. She introduced herself as Olivia, a student from Mrs. Miller’s class. May thanked her and felt braver as she held Longlong again. When Olivia learned that May had made it herself, she said she also liked crafts and asked if May could teach her.
注意：
(1)续写词数应为150个左右；
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
“Sure! Want to meet here after school ” May asked.

May got a new idea and she decided o have a talk with Mrs. Miller.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】“Sure! Want to meet here after school ” May asked. Olivia’s face lit up with excitement. “That would be awesome!” she replied. The two girls started chatting animatedly about all the craft ideas they had, like making friendship bracelets and paper lanterns. As they talked, May felt a sense of ease she hadn't felt all day. When the line started moving into the lunchroom, they sat together, still engrossed in their conversation about crafts.
May got a new idea and she decided to have a talk with Mrs. Miller. After lunch, she made her way to Room 301 in Teaching Building B. She walked in nervously but when she saw Mrs. Miller’s warm smile, her courage grew. May explained her love for crafts and how she hoped to start a craft club. Mrs. Miller was delighted and said it was a wonderful idea. With Mrs. Miller’s support, May couldn't wait to tell Olivia and start their very own craft club, looking forward to making more friends who shared their passion.
