Story magic: Here are four fantastic and brilliant books that shine with unique charm and profound meanings.
Party Rhythm by Antonia Pesenti
It is a fun book that combines two of our favourite things — parties and wordplay! It mentions many things that we enjoy at parties — and then plays with phrases that sound similar but have completely different meanings. Readers will love the exciting art and the strange things they will discover when they lift the book’s special fold-out pages. It really is a unique reading experience!
My Language Rights by Judy Thompson, illustrated by Tete Garcia
It is all about languages, how they help us to understand others, and why our languages are part of our identity. This colorfully illustrated book was inspired by the proposed Universal Declaration of Linguistic Rights that is being presented to the United Nations.
Follow the Swallow by Julia Donaldson, illustrated by Thomas Docherty
It tells the tale of a blackbird who wants to get a message to his friend, the swallow. He tells it to an animal, who passes it on to the next one — but the message changes as one animal after another repeats it! The tale takes readers across towns, seas and deserts and introduces creatures of all kinds. This book is a new edition of The Gruffalo, which is also written by Julia but illustrated by Axel Scheffler.
Dear Black Boy’ by Martellus Bennett
It is an inspiring book that encourages children (and boys of colour in particular) to do their best and overcome any barriers in their path. The author of this book speaks from experience — Martellus was a championship American football player and is now an author and filmmakers! A great read for any youngster who wants to follow his example and reach their potential.
21. What can we learn about Party Rhythm
A. It originates from a game. B. It combines parties and wordplay.
C. It presents magical stories. D. It aims at showing phrases and art.
22. What do My Language Rights and Follow the Swallow have in common
A. They are about language learning. B. They are centered on friendship.
C. They are written by the same writer. D. They are equipped with illustrations.
23. What makes Martellus’s story encouraging
A. His filming talent. B. His athlete identity.
C. His personal journey. D. His defense for rights.
B
Um, why do we say “um” so much Who knew two letters could spark so much conversation We say and hear it all the time— with friends, at work, while watching the news. And though it may be frowned upon in some contexts, this two-letter word is a small but mighty building block of conversation.
“It fills the space when we’re trying to think of what word or idea to say next, it can soften our tone to make us sound more casual or polite, or it can signal to people that we’re not finished speaking, which is known as ‘turn holding’,” said Jess Zafarris, an etymologist and co- host of the Words Unravelled podcast.
The shortness of “um” and its employment of the “uh” vowel also make it really easy to say, as our tongues are relaxed, according to Delphine Dahan, who leads a psycholinguistics lab at the University of Pennsylvania. “Speakers can produce it effortlessly,” she said. Because of this, filler words with similar sounds and uses show up across languages and cultures. In France, it’s an “ugh” sound. Brits and Australians say “erm”. Among Spanish speakers, “ehh” is similar, and in Japan, they may say “ano”. “They reflect the neutral noises that we make when speaking in our given dialect.” Zafarris said.
Traditionally, “um” rarely appears in written text because we have time to pause and think about what comes next. In recent years, young people use it in informal writing on social media to express humor, confusion, or irony.
However, “um” can get a lot of hate. In movies and television shows, characters are unlikely to use filler words. People who may generally be considered good at expressing ideas clearly, such as teachers and politicians, may use them less. There’s a sense that speakers who use “um” frequently are less decisive and clear- minded. “We have established in corporate culture, and in public speaking and rhetoric, that to make a clear point you should sound as decisive as possible,” Zafarris said. Many journalists edit out filler words from interviews to make sentences brief and to give sources an authoritative voice.
If you want to use “um” less, it will take a conscious effort. You can slow down or use less common fillers, like “how can I say that ” or “see what I mean ”.
24. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about concerning “um”
A. Its origin. B. Its function. C. Its frequency. D. Its context.
25. What does the underlined “this” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. Speakers struggle to say “um”. B. Speakers use “um” universally.
C. “Um” is pronunciation-friendly. D. “Um” shares multiple meanings.
26. Who are more likely to use filler words
A. Teen netizens. B. Professors. C. Movie stars. D. Journalists.
27. In which column can you possibly find this text in newspaper
A. Global Figures. B. Campus Life. C. Financial Window. D. Language Lab.
C
Ultra-processed (过度加工的) foods (UPFs) have been called “poison” and “junk”. Such fear surrounding UPFs is understandable, given that they are linked to a range of health issues from obesity (肥胖) to anxiety. Their rapid dominance has fundamentally changed food systems, making much of our modern diet unrecognizable to our ancestors. However, we believe this blanket UPF panic must give way to a more cautious consideration. It is a mistake to take flavoured yogurt and wholegrain bread as equally horrible as cakes and sugary cereals. Just because a food is ultra-processed doesn’t automatically make it unhealthy.
The science offers clarity. Research shows that when people consume more UPFs, their intake of saturated fat, sodium (钠) and sugar tends to rise, while fibre and protein fall. But how exactly do they lead to harm Kevin’s recent research identified two key causes: UPFs that are energy-dense (more calories per bite) and, crucially, those that are hyperpalatable. Hyperpalatable foods feature specific nutrient combinations — like fat and salt, or carbohydrate and salt — that rarely occur together in nature and powerfully drive overconsumption.
Importantly, Kevin’s work revealed the other side of the coin. When people ate meals composed largely of UPFs that were not energy-dense and hyperpalatable, they did not gain weight. Some even lost weight without specifically trying.
This difference has enormous implications for policy. Rather than targeting all UPFs, we should focus on those that are both ultra-processed and fail to meet nutritional standards for healthy food — like the Food and Drug Administration’s new definition, which limits sugar and sodium while encouraging components like vegetables and whole grains. By focusing on these problematic products, we can apply targeted measures, such as marketing restrictions and taxes, similar to those that successfully reduced tobacco use.
At the same time, many UPFs — such as whole-grain bread, hummus, and canned beans— are affordable, convenient, and can be part of a healthy diet. Therefore, moving beyond panic is essential. The goal is a healthy coexistence: to understand which specific UPFs cause harm and act accordingly, rather than demonising an entire category of modern food.
28. What phenomenon is described in paragraph 1
A. Our ancestors once recognized UPFs. B. UPFs have changed health systems.
C. People seem to misunderstand UPFs. D. The worry about UPFs has declined.
29. What can we learn from Kevin’s research
A. The intake of sugar can lead to harm. B. UPFs usually lack sufficient energy.
C. Hyperpalatable foods stimulate appetite. D. UPFs play a crucial role in losing weight.
30. What does the author suggest about policy-making
A. Charging taxes on problematic UPFs. B. Making restrictions on whole grains.
C. Limiting the consumption of tobacco. D. Lowering the standards of healthy food.
31. What is the main purpose of the text
A. To introduce the popularity of UPFs.
B. To share an objective view on UPFs.
C. To illustrate the dangers of modern food.
D. To criticize the reliance on modern food.
D
Breaking a bone could soon mean a far quicker recovery. Chinese scientists have developed a new “bone glue” called “Bone-02” that can repair broken bones in just three minutes without tools, like screws and plates, or repeat surgeries, reports Global Times. Developed by a research team from East China's Zhejiang Province. “Bone-02” imitates nature’s own engineering to heal broken bones quickly and safely.
The development of “Bone-02”was inspired by oysters (牡蛎), which stick stubbornly to underwater surfaces despite waves and constant moisture. Lin Xianfeng, associate chief orthopaedic surgeon at Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital and the lead researcher, drew this inspiration after observing the natural phenomenon. Back in 2016, while working as a resident physician, Lin noticed that even the most experienced surgeons needed hours to fix broken bones with far-from-ideal results — this challenge drove him to seek alternatives. Notably, attempts to create bone glues date to the 1940s but were abandoned due to biocompatibility (生物相容性) issues; currently, orthopaedic surgeons only use soft substances to stick broken bones together and fill in gaps between them, but none of these materials truly function as bone glues.
“Bone-02” can achieve precise fixation in two to three minutes, even in blood-rich surgical sites. Unlike metal implants (植入物) requiring a second removal operation, the glue is naturally absorbed as bones heal, removing extra risks and procedures. Tested in over 150 patients, laboratory and clinical trials showed it achieved a maximum bonding force over 400 pounds, a shear strength of approximately 0.5 MPa (兆帕), and a compressive strength of around 10 MPa — suggesting the glue could replace traditional steel plates and screws while lowering infection or rejection risks from foreign implants.
If successful on a larger scale, “Bone-02” will shorten surgeries, improve recovery times, and spare patients other illnesses. Today, his team’s product may offer what surgeons worldwide have been seeking for decades: a fast, safe, and body-friendly solution to bone repair.
32. What inspired the invention of “Bone-02”
A. Oysters’ external form. B. Oysters’ self-healing method.
C. Oysters’ living environment. D. Oysters’ underwater behavior.
33. Why did Lin seek new bone repair methods
A. To develop soft substances. B. To reduce the fee of surgery.
C. To improve surgical outcome. D. To help experienced surgeons.
34. What does the data in paragraph 3 indicate
A. The effectiveness of “Bone-02”. B. The great efforts of Lin’s team.
C. The risks from foreign implants. D. The accuracy of the trial results.
35. What might Lin’s team do next
A. Cooperate with other researchers. B. Conduct follow-up experiments.
C. Study symptoms of other illnesses. D. Seek more body-friendly solutions.

Which is more valuable: an ice cream or a tube of vitamin C tablets One costs rather more than the other. Vitamin C can have a high medical value and ice cream does not. Does this mean the vitamin tablets are more valuable ___36___
The vitamin C tablets could be immensely valuable, for example, if someone had vitamin C deficiency and possibly scurvy (坏血病). But if you have an adequate diet that includes good supplies of vitamin C, then the extra amount has no value at all.
___37___ The answer is both a yes and a no. In law, there may be mitigating (减轻处罚的) circumstances which may lessen the sentence. Nevertheless, a crime has been committed. What about killing in self-defence or in war The argument would be that it is killing but is not "murder" since you are not doing it for gain and it is approved.
However, there are fundamental values which do not change with circumstance. For example, you are not supposed to murder anyone whatever the circumstances. You are not supposed to betray your companies. You are supposed to keep your word of honour. ___38___
In other cases, the values may not change with circumstances. ___39___ Imagine you are playing cards and you notice that a friend of yours seems to be cheating. There is the moral value. ___40___ There is the friendship value. Should you shame your friend Or should you let your friend develop the habit of cheating Then there is the uncertainty. You are not absolutely sure that he is cheating. In practice you might seek to end the game and then tell him that someone suspects he is cheating. If you do this, you seem to be putting a higher priority on your concern for your friend than on the direct moral values involved.
A. Do values depend on circumstance
B. However, the priority of values changes.
C. Should you turn a blind eye to cheating
D. You should tell your friend what you know.
E. Such fundamental values should operate in all contexts.
F. These are values to be applied under specific conditions.
G. Is the question about value based on the items themselves or certain circumstances

She stormed around the gym alone, feeling ___48___ about her team. Then, her phone lit up: “We ___49___. We were trying our best, but you were always angry.”
The ____50____ struck Isabella’s heart. When she reread it, ____51____ washed over her. She realised how her disappointment had poisoned the practice and hurt her friends. She instantly sent a heartfelt apology, begging for another chance. Moved by her ____52____, they agreed.
That night, she worked out a new strategy centered on enjoyment. The eagerness for victory ____53____; now, she desired only the ____54____ of playing with her favorite people.

As the elephants turn away from Kunming, the upcoming 15th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity in the city presents a crucial opportunity. As there is no single solution to ___63___ (ensure) coexistence, the attention gained by this elephant herd must establish the topic at the heart of the Global Biodiversity Framework. ___64___ (ultimate), securing a future of harmony between elephants and people will require global leaders at the COP working hand-in-hand with local ____65____ (community).

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。
Bruce, recently retired from an executive position in the high-tech medical device industry, had been volunteering as a monthly reader at a local elementary school. The school chose books according to criteria such as relevance, clarity, and value of information, and the text assigned to Bruce was a picture book on insects.
The book ended with a quiz, intended to test the students’ recall. To the question “Can ants fly ” each of the 5-year-old students in the room offered the same response: “No.” In so doing, they were dutifully repeating what the book had plainly said, that ants march across the ground but cannot leave it. Bruce smiled approvingly.
But then a little girl named Alice, dressed this particular day in a pink princess outfit that might have once been a Halloween costume, spoke up, evidently embarrassed by the sound of her own still voice. “But I have seen wings on ants. Why can’t they fly ”
Bruce was surprised and remained tongue-tied for a good while. Surely the little girl was wrong, and whatever winged species of insect she thought she had seen had not been an ant but something else. Yet how should he respond Should he simply point to the answer key, tell the little girl that she missed the question, and move on
Bruce, a man of science, took a different way. “I am sorry,” he said. “I will have to check into this and report back next time.” When he got home, he set about reading up on ants. To his surprise, he discovered that some ants are known for having wings, and the reproductive male and female ants do indeed take to the air during their nuptial flight (婚飞).
In short, Alice was right. She trusted not what the book said, or what the authoritative figure at the head of the class had read, but what she had experienced and seen with her own eyes.
注意：1.续写词数应为150词左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
The next time Bruce returned with an insect book and intended to report his discovery.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After praising Alice, Bruce asked: “So, what can we learn from her ”

Create a schedule or to-do list that breaks up large tasks into smaller ones and includes rest periods. That way, you won’t feel so stressed.
M: Thank you for your help, Mrs. Winston, I’ll try to apply these strategies.

M: That’s a good point. I always take the bus.
W: A lot of people do, but buses and cars can easily get stuck. It’s better to choose a reliable way to get around when the weather is bad.
M: It makes sense, but I’m not sure because the subway could flood from the heavy rain.

【原文】W: Hello, everyone! Welcome to the community volunteer center. My name is Susan and I am the manager. Thank you for coming today. I’m here to tell you more about our new initiative — senior care. We’re looking for volunteers to help the elderly in our community. The service includes two main types of tasks. First, regular service. This includes tasks you might do once a week such as visiting them to read newspapers or helping them buy groceries. Assisting them to have video chats with their family via smartphone also counts. Second, occasional weekend events. These are group activities like helping clean their gardens or organizing small parties to celebrate birthdays together. To recognize your valuable efforts, we have a system to record your service hours. Please note that just finishing one task doesn’t guarantee credits. For every 20 hours you serve, your school will recognize it as a part of your social practice credits. I hope you will all consider joining this meaningful service. Now to give you a better idea of the experience, let’s look at some photos from last year’s volunteers.

Story magic: Here are four fantastic and brilliant books that shine with unique charm and profound meanings.
Party Rhythm by Antonia Pesenti
It is a fun book that combines two of our favourite things — parties and wordplay! It mentions many things that we enjoy at parties — and then plays with phrases that sound similar but have completely different meanings. Readers will love the exciting art and the strange things they will discover when they lift the book’s special fold-out pages. It really is a unique reading experience!
My Language Rights by Judy Thompson, illustrated by Tete Garcia
It is all about languages, how they help us to understand others, and why our languages are part of our identity. This colorfully illustrated book was inspired by the proposed Universal Declaration of Linguistic Rights that is being presented to the United Nations.
Follow the Swallow by Julia Donaldson, illustrated by Thomas Docherty
It tells the tale of a blackbird who wants to get a message to his friend, the swallow. He tells it to an animal, who passes it on to the next one — but the message changes as one animal after another repeats it! The tale takes readers across towns, seas and deserts and introduces creatures of all kinds. This book is a new edition of The Gruffalo, which is also written by Julia but illustrated by Axel Scheffler.
Dear Black Boy’ by Martellus Bennett
It is an inspiring book that encourages children (and boys of colour in particular) to do their best and overcome any barriers in their path. The author of this book speaks from experience — Martellus was a championship American football player and is now an author and filmmakers! A great read for any youngster who wants to follow his example and reach their potential.
21. What can we learn about Party Rhythm
A. It originates from a game. B. It combines parties and wordplay.
C. It presents magical stories. D. It aims at showing phrases and art.
22. What do My Language Rights and Follow the Swallow have in common

C. They are written by the same writer. D. They are equipped with illustrations.
23. What makes Martellus’s story encouraging
A. His filming talent. B. His athlete identity.
C. His personal journey. D. His defense for rights.
【答案】21. B 22. D 23. C
B
Um, why do we say “um” so much Who knew two letters could spark so much conversation We say and hear it all the time— with friends, at work, while watching the news. And though it may be frowned upon in some contexts, this two-letter word is a small but mighty building block of conversation.
“It fills the space when we’re trying to think of what word or idea to say next, it can soften our tone to make us sound more casual or polite, or it can signal to people that we’re not finished speaking, which is known as ‘turn holding’,” said Jess Zafarris, an etymologist and co- host of the Words Unravelled podcast.
The shortness of “um” and its employment of the “uh” vowel also make it really easy to say, as our tongues are relaxed, according to Delphine Dahan, who leads a psycholinguistics lab at the University of Pennsylvania. “Speakers can produce it effortlessly,” she said. Because of this, filler words with similar sounds and uses show up across languages and cultures. In France, it’s an “ugh” sound. Brits and Australians say “erm”. Among Spanish speakers, “ehh” is similar, and in Japan, they may say “ano”. “They reflect the neutral noises that we make when speaking in our given dialect.” Zafarris said.
Traditionally, “um” rarely appears in written text because we have time to pause and think about what comes next. In recent years, young people use it in informal writing on social media to express humor, confusion, or irony.
However, “um” can get a lot of hate. In movies and television shows, characters are unlikely to use filler words. People who may generally be considered good at expressing ideas clearly, such as teachers and politicians, may use them less. There’s a sense that speakers who use “um” frequently are less decisive and clear- minded. “We have established in corporate culture, and in public speaking and rhetoric, that to make a clear point you should sound as decisive as possible,” Zafarris said. Many journalists edit out filler words from interviews to make sentences brief and to give sources an authoritative voice.
If you want to use “um” less, it will take a conscious effort. You can slow down or use less common fillers, like “how can I say that ” or “see what I mean ”.
24. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about concerning “um”
A. Its origin. B. Its function. C. Its frequency. D. Its context.
25. What does the underlined “this” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. Speakers struggle to say “um”. B. Speakers use “um” universally.
C. “Um” is pronunciation-friendly. D. “Um” shares multiple meanings.
26. Who are more likely to use filler words
A. Teen netizens. B. Professors. C. Movie stars. D. Journalists.
27. In which column can you possibly find this text in newspaper
A. Global Figures. B. Campus Life. C. Financial Window. D. Language Lab.
【答案】24. B 25. C 26. A 27. D
C
Ultra-processed (过度加工的) foods (UPFs) have been called “poison” and “junk”. Such fear surrounding UPFs is understandable, given that they are linked to a range of health issues from obesity (肥胖) to anxiety. Their rapid dominance has fundamentally changed food systems, making much of our modern diet unrecognizable to our ancestors. However, we believe this blanket UPF panic must give way to a more cautious consideration. It is a mistake to take flavoured yogurt and wholegrain bread as equally horrible as cakes and sugary cereals. Just because a food is ultra-processed doesn’t automatically make it unhealthy.
The science offers clarity. Research shows that when people consume more UPFs, their intake of saturated fat, sodium (钠) and sugar tends to rise, while fibre and protein fall. But how exactly do they lead to harm Kevin’s recent research identified two key causes: UPFs that are energy-dense (more calories per bite) and, crucially, those that are hyperpalatable. Hyperpalatable foods feature specific nutrient combinations — like fat and salt, or carbohydrate and salt — that rarely occur together in nature and powerfully drive overconsumption.
Importantly, Kevin’s work revealed the other side of the coin. When people ate meals composed largely of UPFs that were not energy-dense and hyperpalatable, they did not gain weight. Some even lost weight without specifically trying.
This difference has enormous implications for policy. Rather than targeting all UPFs, we should focus on those that are both ultra-processed and fail to meet nutritional standards for healthy food — like the Food and Drug Administration’s new definition, which limits sugar and sodium while encouraging components like vegetables and whole grains. By focusing on these problematic products, we can apply targeted measures, such as marketing restrictions and taxes, similar to those that successfully reduced tobacco use.
At the same time, many UPFs — such as whole-grain bread, hummus, and canned beans— are affordable, convenient, and can be part of a healthy diet. Therefore, moving beyond panic is essential. The goal is a healthy coexistence: to understand which specific UPFs cause harm and act accordingly, rather than demonising an entire category of modern food.
28. What phenomenon is described in paragraph 1
A. Our ancestors once recognized UPFs. B. UPFs have changed health systems.
C. People seem to misunderstand UPFs. D. The worry about UPFs has declined.
29. What can we learn from Kevin’s research
A. The intake of sugar can lead to harm. B. UPFs usually lack sufficient energy.
C. Hyperpalatable foods stimulate appetite. D. UPFs play a crucial role in losing weight.
30. What does the author suggest about policy-making
A. Charging taxes on problematic UPFs. B. Making restrictions on whole grains.
C. Limiting the consumption of tobacco. D. Lowering the standards of healthy food.
31. What is the main purpose of the text
A. To introduce the popularity of UPFs.
B. To share an objective view on UPFs.
C. To illustrate the dangers of modern food.
D. To criticize the reliance on modern food.

Breaking a bone could soon mean a far quicker recovery. Chinese scientists have developed a new “bone glue” called “Bone-02” that can repair broken bones in just three minutes without tools, like screws and plates, or repeat surgeries, reports Global Times. Developed by a research team from East China's Zhejiang Province. “Bone-02” imitates nature’s own engineering to heal broken bones quickly and safely.
The development of “Bone-02”was inspired by oysters (牡蛎), which stick stubbornly to underwater surfaces despite waves and constant moisture. Lin Xianfeng, associate chief orthopaedic surgeon at Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital and the lead researcher, drew this inspiration after observing the natural phenomenon. Back in 2016, while working as a resident physician, Lin noticed that even the most experienced surgeons needed hours to fix broken bones with far-from-ideal results — this challenge drove him to seek alternatives. Notably, attempts to create bone glues date to the 1940s but were abandoned due to biocompatibility (生物相容性) issues; currently, orthopaedic surgeons only use soft substances to stick broken bones together and fill in gaps between them, but none of these materials truly function as bone glues.
“Bone-02” can achieve precise fixation in two to three minutes, even in blood-rich surgical sites. Unlike metal implants (植入物) requiring a second removal operation, the glue is naturally absorbed as bones heal, removing extra risks and procedures. Tested in over 150 patients, laboratory and clinical trials showed it achieved a maximum bonding force over 400 pounds, a shear strength of approximately 0.5 MPa (兆帕), and a compressive strength of around 10 MPa — suggesting the glue could replace traditional steel plates and screws while lowering infection or rejection risks from foreign implants.
If successful on a larger scale, “Bone-02” will shorten surgeries, improve recovery times, and spare patients other illnesses. Today, his team’s product may offer what surgeons worldwide have been seeking for decades: a fast, safe, and body-friendly solution to bone repair.
32. What inspired the invention of “Bone-02”
A. Oysters’ external form. B. Oysters’ self-healing method.
C. Oysters’ living environment. D. Oysters’ underwater behavior.
33. Why did Lin seek new bone repair methods
A. To develop soft substances. B. To reduce the fee of surgery.
C. To improve surgical outcome. D. To help experienced surgeons.
34. What does the data in paragraph 3 indicate
A. The effectiveness of “Bone-02”. B. The great efforts of Lin’s team.
C. The risks from foreign implants. D. The accuracy of the trial results.
35. What might Lin’s team do next
A. Cooperate with other researchers. B. Conduct follow-up experiments.
C. Study symptoms of other illnesses. D. Seek more body-friendly solutions.
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. A 35. B

Which is more valuable: an ice cream or a tube of vitamin C tablets One costs rather more than the other. Vitamin C can have a high medical value and ice cream does not. Does this mean the vitamin tablets are more valuable ___36___
The vitamin C tablets could be immensely valuable, for example, if someone had vitamin C deficiency and possibly scurvy (坏血病). But if you have an adequate diet that includes good supplies of vitamin C, then the extra amount has no value at all.
___37___ The answer is both a yes and a no. In law, there may be mitigating (减轻处罚的) circumstances which may lessen the sentence. Nevertheless, a crime has been committed. What about killing in self-defence or in war The argument would be that it is killing but is not "murder" since you are not doing it for gain and it is approved.
However, there are fundamental values which do not change with circumstance. For example, you are not supposed to murder anyone whatever the circumstances. You are not supposed to betray your companies. You are supposed to keep your word of honour. ___38___
In other cases, the values may not change with circumstances. ___39___ Imagine you are playing cards and you notice that a friend of yours seems to be cheating. There is the moral value. ___40___ There is the friendship value. Should you shame your friend Or should you let your friend develop the habit of cheating Then there is the uncertainty. You are not absolutely sure that he is cheating. In practice you might seek to end the game and then tell him that someone suspects he is cheating. If you do this, you seem to be putting a higher priority on your concern for your friend than on the direct moral values involved.
A. Do values depend on circumstance
B. However, the priority of values changes.
C. Should you turn a blind eye to cheating
D. You should tell your friend what you know.
E. Such fundamental values should operate in all contexts.
F. These are values to be applied under specific conditions.
G. Is the question about value based on the items themselves or certain circumstances

Creating an Inclusive Campus
With the approaching of International Day of Persons with disabilities, we must address the barriers existing in our school. One of the issues observed is the lack of accessible routes, which influences the mobility of students with disabilities, preventing them from accessing facilities independently.
To create a more friendly environment, building slopes should be our priority. Furthermore, cultivating a supportive atmosphere where assistance is readily available is equally crucial. Such measures will transform our campus into a genuinely inclusive space.
I hope that through our collective efforts, we can build a school where every student thrives together, free from physical limitations.

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。
Bruce, recently retired from an executive position in the high-tech medical device industry, had been volunteering as a monthly reader at a local elementary school. The school chose books according to criteria such as relevance, clarity, and value of information, and the text assigned to Bruce was a picture book on insects.
The book ended with a quiz, intended to test the students’ recall. To the question “Can ants fly ” each of the 5-year-old students in the room offered the same response: “No.” In so doing, they were dutifully repeating what the book had plainly said, that ants march across the ground but cannot leave it. Bruce smiled approvingly.
But then a little girl named Alice, dressed this particular day in a pink princess outfit that might have once been a Halloween costume, spoke up, evidently embarrassed by the sound of her own still voice. “But I have seen wings on ants. Why can’t they fly ”
Bruce was surprised and remained tongue-tied for a good while. Surely the little girl was wrong, and whatever winged species of insect she thought she had seen had not been an ant but something else. Yet how should he respond Should he simply point to the answer key, tell the little girl that she missed the question, and move on
Bruce, a man of science, took a different way. “I am sorry,” he said. “I will have to check into this and report back next time.” When he got home, he set about reading up on ants. To his surprise, he discovered that some ants are known for having wings, and the reproductive male and female ants do indeed take to the air during their nuptial flight (婚飞).
In short, Alice was right. She trusted not what the book said, or what the authoritative figure at the head of the class had read, but what she had experienced and seen with her own eyes.
注意：1.续写词数应为150词左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
The next time Bruce returned with an insect book and intended to report his discovery.

After praising Alice, Bruce asked: “So, what can we learn from her ”
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
The next time Bruce returned with an insect book and intended to report his discovery. He held the thick insect book with a few printed pictures of winged ants and showed everyone the materials, pointing to the images to explain their nuptial flight. He then walked up to Alice, bent down and said sincerely, “You were absolutely right last time—I’ve checked, and some ants do have wings and can fly. You did a very good job.” Alice’s eyes lit up with excitement, and the whole class cheered and applauded for her.
After praising Alice, Bruce asked: “So, what can we learn from her ” Immediately, eager hands shot up. “We should be brave like Alice!” one boy exclaimed. “And be curious detectives!” added another. Bruce nodded enthusiastically. “Exactly! Books are valuable, but your own eyes and minds are even more powerful. Never stop questioning.” The classroom was filled with a new energy. Alice, sitting up straight, beamed with pride. This unexpected incident became a precious lesson for all: when you know something is wrong, find the courage to speak up, just as Alice did.
