20-year-old Edgar McGregor decided to visit his local park, Eaton Canyon, day in and day out to pick up as much litter as he could fit in two buckets (提桶). Now, over 589 days and 19,000 Twitter followers later, he is more passionate (热爱的) than ever about his task to save the planet!
Edgar found out that Los Angeles would be the host of the 2028 Summer Olympic Games. Knowing the state of the national forest at the time, he feared that its grounds that were full of litter would make the city a “global embarrassment,” so he decided to make cleaning it up his new passion project.
As time went on, he began documenting his progress on Twitter. Soon, he began encouraging others to start park cleanup projects of their own.
As part of southern California’s Angeles National Forest, Eaton Canyon can see quite a bit of daily foot traffic. On one particularly busy day, Edgar spent five hours picking up litter and came away with over 1,000 pounds of rubbish. Rain or shine, Edgar headed over to carry out his task. He worked through conditions like snowstorms, a record heat wave, and even a forest fire on the opposite side of the park.
The more he did, the more treasures he discovered. In addition to a lot of old iPhones and cans, Edgar collected enough recyclables to earn around 30 dollars every few weeks, which he would donate to nonprofits.
Recently, Edgar began noticing that the top-littered areas in his park were becoming few and far between. At one point, he spent four hours moving around the park and only returned with two buckets. Edgar plans to return to Eaton Canyon two or three times a week to keep up with the maintenance, but he is excited to start expanding his reach to new locations. Though he realizes this doesn’t mean his journey is complete, he is excited to have already achieved so much!
4. Why is the 2028 Summer Olympic Games mentioned
A. To describe what made Edgar famous.
B. To explain why Edgar loved Los Angeles.
C. To introduce what inspired Edgar to start his project.
D. To discuss why Edgar started exploring the national forest.
5. Which of the following can best describe Edgar
A. Determined and caring.
B. Creative and influential.
C. Talented and productive.
D. Adventurous and sociable.
6. What is Edgar’s next plan
A. Encouraging others to join in his cleanup.
B. Making a journey to clean Eaton Canyon.
C. Cleaning up other parts of the national forest.
D. Returning to the parks he has already cleaned.
7. What is the text mainly about
A. A hero for the environment. B. A way of dealing with litter.
C. A local development project. D. A huge personal achievement.
C
Since the first astronauts spent time in space, scientists have known that space travel affects the human body in strange ways. Muscle and bone mass decrease and the risk of conditions usually associated with old age, such as cancers and cataracts (白内障), ticks up.
Why the human body should decline faster in space is still largely a mystery, but one that researchers are dealing with increasing urgency as civilian space travel becomes more feasible. In a recent study that involved sending muscle samples to the International Space Station, some 250 miles above Earth, researchers from Stanford Medicine found that the lack of gravity in space impairs the normal regenerative ability of muscle.
The samples were grown from muscle cells donated by healthy volunteers to resemble the bundled structure of muscle fibres. They spent seven days growing in space, then frozen until their return to Earth.
The researchers found notable similarities between muscle that had spent a week in microgravity (gravity aboard the International Space Station is about 0.1% of gravity on Earth) and muscle in older adults with sarcopenia (肌肉减少症), a muscle-wasting condition that develops over decades. Both indicated a shift toward more fatty acid metabolism (脂肪酸代谢) and a greater tendency toward cell death. The impaired regeneration could contribute to why astronauts’ muscles weaken even with regular exercise.
“Microgravity is almost like an accelerated disease-forming platform and environment,” said Ngan Huang, PhD, senior author of the study published recently in Stem Cell Reports. “It’s important to understand how microgravity is affecting different tissues in the body, with muscle being one of the most essential ones because of how much of it we have in our bodies.”
Huang’s team also tested drugs that partially prevented these impairments in the muscle samples, which could benefit space travellers and Earth-bound seniors — perhaps even senior space travellers alike.
Ultimately, Huang, who is also a principal investigator at the Veterans Affairs Palo Alto Health Care System hopes to find ways to enhance muscle regeneration to heal severe muscle injuries, like those many Soldiers injured during wars.
8. Which of the following best describes the meaning of the underlined word in paragraph 2
A. Difficult to complete.
B. Lawful to conduct.
C. Expensive to attempt.
D. Possible to achieve.
9. What can we learn about the muscle samples in the recent study
A. They developed sarcopenia after a week in space.
B. They were collected directly from volunteers’ muscles.
C. They may fail to function properly after returning from space.
D. They were frozen due to the freezing temperatures in microgravity.
10. Why is microgravity described as an “accelerated disease-forming platform”
A. It stops muscle from recovering after injury.
B. It reproduces long-term conditions in a shorter time.
C. It affects astronauts with pre-existing conditions only.
D. It speeds up cancer and cataracts development in astronauts.
11. What is Huang likely to focus on in future research
A. Proving space travel advances aging in astronauts.
B. Investigating microgravity’s impact on muscle structure.
C. Creating ways to boost muscle regeneration in critical injuries.
D. Designing exercises to prevent muscle loss during space travel.
D
In a stimulating interview with the philosopher Daniel Dennett in Living on Earth, Dennett shared that Charles Darwin and Alan Turing might make the same discovery. Darwin showed how you can get the appearance of purpose and design out of blind processes of natural selection. And Turing said that any computable problem can be computed by a machine without understanding.
The host then voiced a concern: as Al advances, machines will come to lord over us. Dennett acknowledges there’s a takeover risk but claims it’s misunderstood. The risk is not that machines will become autonomous rulers out that we will depend too much on machines.
The main issue with AI is not intelligence but autonomy. At the end of the day, even the smartest computers are our tools, and their intentions are ours. Or, to the extent that we can speak of their intentions at all. The intention of a self-driving car to avoid an obstacle, for example, is what it’s designed for.
Our growing dependence on technologies doesn’t mean we are losing our natural autonomy in quite this sense. Our needs remain but it is a loss of autonomy. Even auto mechanics these days rely on computers and, in the era of self-driving cars, will any of us still know how to drive Think what would happen if we lost electricity We’d be thrown back into the 19th century, as Dennett says. But things would be worse as we lack know-how that made it possible for our ancestors to live well in the olden days.
The truth is, we’ve been technological since our dawn as a species. We first found ourselves in the archaeological record where we saw a great exposition of tools, technologies, art-making and language. In a sense, being human means being like a cyborg, which is a technological extension of our natural selves. This suggests that at any time in our development, a large-scale breakdown in the technological system would spell not exactly our doom, but our complete reorganization.
Perhaps what makes our current dilemma unprecedented (史无前例的) is the fact that we are so closely networked. When the library of Alexandria burned down, books and knowledge were lost. But in a world where libraries are replaced by their online versions, it isn’t unimaginable that every library could be simply deleted.
What happens to us then
12. Which of the following statements might Dennett most likely agree with
A. AI might be overly relied on.
B. AI doesn’t have comprehension.
C. AI’s development is bounded.
D. AI’s evolution resembles natural selection.
13. Which of the following examples best matches the idea of “know-how” in paragraph 4
A. A scholar studies the theory of natural selection.
B. A nobleman hires servants to do all the housework.
C. A farmer builds a table by hand using traditional tools.
D. A worker operates a machine following preset instructions.
14. Why did the author mention libraries in paragraph 6
A. To show the technological stability.
B. To prove the technological safeguard.
C. To emphasize the technological weakness.
D. To illustrate the technological transformation.
15. What would be the best title for the passage
A. Is the Concern Artificial Intelligence or Autonomy
B. How will Technology Breakdown Change Our Lives
C. Will Artificial Autonomy Threaten Humanity’s Existence
D. How does the Human-Technology Relationship Develop

A Great Monday
Monday started out well. I woke up on time, ate breakfast and did some last-minute studying for my first hour math test. I was confident of getting good grades. Then I left my house. Ten minutes later, I got on school bus with my friends. We were busy chatting about how we spent our weekend. At one stop, Fat Ryan got on hurriedly. He tripped (绊倒) over someone’s foot accidentally and THUMP! He fell down onto the floor.
Every one of us on the bus looked on and laughed crazily. Ryan struggled to his feet, dusted (擦灰) off his jacket and made his way to an empty seat. He tried to laugh with us, but his face was burning with embarrassment (尴尬). The rest of the morning flew by. I did well in my math test. I read two more chapters of To Kill a Mockingbird in English class. It wasn’t long before we heard the lunch bell. I met my friends from the cheerleading (拉拉队) team in the dining hall. Then I couldn’t help but notice Ryan a few tables away, sitting all alone. He caught me looking. I smiled at him quickly and looked away.
When we had finished eating, we went out to the courtyard to practice a cheer we would do at that night’s football game. After much practice, we finally managed to do the cheer perfectly. We decided to practice it again one last time. Again, just like the rest of my day so far, the cheer was going great. I raised my leg for one last toe (脚趾) touch. RIIPPP! I felt my jeans broken, in the middle of my backside (臀部).
I froze (呆住). I had no idea what to do but stand still. Then I heard people burst out laughing and I saw them pointing at my torn jeans. Trying to cover myself with my hands, I tried to laugh too, but I felt tears begin to well up in my eyes.
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。
Then I saw Ryan running towards me.
