For 15 years, Hillary Cohen has been busy with behind-the-scenes work in the film industry. One of the benefits she enjoyed was the meals provided on the set — delicious, chef-prepared food like steak and seafood. But she’d long been anxious about what happened to the leftovers (剩饭).
“They would just throw it out,” said Cohen, 40. “I was always told, ‘We can’t give away the food. … It’s too hard. If someone gets sick, we will have to take the responsibility.’”
For years, Cohen had a solution in mind about how to send the leftovers from sets to people in need, but her 16-hour workdays didn’t give her much opportunity to carry it out. She called Samantha Luu, a co-worker who was also deeply concerned about the problem, and together they got to work and started Every Day Action, a nonprofit (非盈利组织) that picks up extra food from film sets and other businesses and sends it to communities in need around Los Angeles.
At first, Cohen and Luu made most of the pickups themselves with the help of volunteers. But when they went back to work, that became unmanageable. As a result, they developed their Film Industry Driver Program. This program gives some money for work and gas to people like production helpers and background performers who help them.
While their services are free, Cohen and Luu strongly encourage sets to give away $50 for every pickup to help pay the drivers and cover the cost of gas. After working on this effort for nearly four years without pay, Cohen and Luu now do this work full-time.
Cohen isn’t sure if she is done with working in the film industry, for now her focus is on Every Day Action: connecting small parts — one set, one meal, one person at a time. Seeing the direct impact of their work on communities brings them great joy and a sense of achievement. And this matters a lot to them.
4. Why was the extra food on film sets usually thrown out according to Cohen
A. Its taste was poor. B. It might bring trouble.
C. It was hard to keep fresh. D. Its materials were unhealthy.
5. What made Cohen fail to deal with leftover food earlier
A. Her heavy work. B. Her strong fear.
C. The disagreement from her partner. D. The absence of expert suggestions.
6. What can be inferred about the Film Industry Driver Program
A. It needs the government’s support. B. It creates job opportunities for locals.
C. It pays film workers for their help. D. It runs on the contributions of film sets.
7. What message does the text mainly show
A. Much food from the film industry is often wasted.
B. Starting a nonprofit calls for lots of time and energy.
C. Volunteers are the most important part of any service.
D. One person’s concern can grow into an organized effort.
C
By exploring (探索) deep under the Southern Ocean, scientists have found 30 types of strange new creatures. These include a sponge that eats animals, worms that eat bones, and several new kinds of sea stars.
The Southern Ocean is the body of water that circles Antarctica. It’s hard for scientists to study because it’s so far away, and because of the challenges of working in the terrible conditions there. But scientists believe the Southern Ocean could be home to many species (物种) that haven’t been discovered yet.
To look for them, scientists used the R/V Falkor (too) — a research ship — on research trips in the Southern Ocean earlier this year. They used a special remote-controlled underwater machine to explore the sea floor. The machine, called SuBastian, went deep below the surface, took pictures and videos, and collected samples (样品). By the end of the second trip, the team had collected almost 2,000 animal samples.
Since then, the scientists have been studying the animals they collected, and working to designate them. In some cases, they’re using the animals’ DNA to help decide their species. So far, the researchers have discovered 30 new species.
One of the most unusual is a meat-eating sea sponge with a ball-like shape. Sea sponges are animals that usually eat by letting water go through their body and keeping what can be eaten. But these sponges have tiny “hands” that help them catch other animals to eat. The team also discovered a new “zombie worm”. These worms aren’t really zombies, but they eat the soft material inside the bones of dead whales and other big sea animals.
Normally, naming new species takes a very long time—sometimes 10 years or more. But the team is speeding things up by holding “species discovery meetings” with experts from across the world. The scientists say the discoveries show how much remains to be learned about the sea life in the Southern Ocean. So far, the scientists have only studied about 30% of the samples they collected. They expect to discover many more new species in the future.
8. What can be learned about the research
A. Advanced technology failed to work well. B. Samples were collected in more than one trip.
C. Scientists went into the deep water in person. D. SuBastian focused on taking photos under sea.
9. What does the underlined word “designate” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Calm down. B. Care about. C. Gather up. D. Figure out.
10. What is the main idea of paragraph 5
A. The general introduction to certain species.
B. The common eating habits of deep-sea animals.
C. The detailed comparison between two types of animals.
D. The strong competition among different forms of sea life.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Ways to Collect Animal Samples B. History of Antarctic Sea Life Research
C. Dangers of Exploring the Southern Ocean D. New Species Discovered in the Southern Ocean
D
Americans’ literacy (读写能力) challenge has been building for years. Educators said potential factors include children’s overspending time on screens, shortened attention periods and drop in reading longer texts. Lots of methods have been tried to improve children’s reading ability. But the rise of AI is creating another opportunity to reimagine how students learn to read.
Across the US, parents, educators, and community groups are trying AI-powered helpers that listen as children read, correct mistakes right away, step in quickly when they have trouble with a word, and change lessons to match each child’s reading level.
AI might show some promise in literacy efforts, but researchers say the technology can’t singlehandedly improve reading levels. They found that when kids read with an AI chatbot that asks them questions and then provides suggestions, the kids actually get similar level of benefits to reading with an adult. It doesn’t show that AI can take the place of parents and teachers. Rather, the technology should be introduced to kids as a complement (补充) to what they learn at home and in class.
Even as the AI tools change how kids learn to read, experts warn that schools and technology companies need to better combine (结合) reading courses with the new technology. The AI-powered lesson needs to line up with what’s going on in the classroom, or students will have to now take two courses rather than just one, and use two different sets of skills instead of one.
Finding out how much to depend on AI-powered literacy tools will take time. Jordan Caldwell, head of a Pennsylvania primary school, said her school is in the early steps of adding AI to the teachers’ operations but stressed that books and libraries are still necessary for students. No one wants to press students with technology throughout the day and then have them go home and use more technology.
12. What is a reason for the Americans’ worsening literacy
A. Overuse of screens. B. Increase in mental problems.
C. Unwillingness to make efforts. D. Fewer proper reading materials.
13. What can AI-powered helpers do
A. Offer timely encouragement. B. Provide real-time guidance.
C. Design personalized homework. D. Explain background information.
14. What is experts’ concern about AI in reading education
A. AI can drive up educational spending. B. AI helpers may give away students’ information.
C. AI technology may bring students extra pressure. D. AI-powered lessons can increase kids’ screen time.
15. What is Jordan Caldwell’s attitude towards students’ using AI after school
A. Mixed. B. Positive. C. Unsupportive. D. Unclear.

47. 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。
Clara’s sketchbook (素描本) fell from her hands as her father’s loud voice filled the kitchen. “Stop this ‘artist’ dream and take the job at the law office! You think painting can pay for food and rent It’s just a hobby, not a real job!” Arthur Hale was sad and angry — he’d started his building business from nothing, and all he wanted was a stable (稳定的) life for his daughter. Their home was filled with useful things: full bookshelves, a strong dining table, and no sign of Clara’s messy paints or half-done paintings.
Clara’s heart hurt. “It’s not just a dream, Dad. Painting is what I’m meant to do! I got into the Royal College of Art — this is my big chance!” Since she’d said no to the law job and accepted the art school offer, they’d hardly spoken nicely to each other. Arthur grew up poor, working two part-time jobs to finish trade school; he couldn’t understand why his daughter would choose such an unsure path. “Artists often go hungry, Clara,” he’d say again and again, his voice getting harder. “I won’t watch you struggle like I did.”
That night Clara packed her sketchbooks and paints and moved into a small room near the art school. Although she painted late every night, her hands always covered with paints, she faced one “no” from galleries after another. Money was tight — she often skipped lunch to buy more canvas and paints. But what she didn’t know was that Arthur had been watching.
He’d drive by her building after work, making sure her window light was on. One evening, he even left a bag of fresh fruit and her favorite apple pie outside her door. But as time flew, neither of them decided to say sorry first.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
