While visiting Chicago from Michigan, Lavonne Schaafsma spent an afternoon in Millennium Park. On her way back to her car, she realized her purse was missing. Inside were her ID, credit cards, medication (药品), and several hundred dollars in cash.
“I started to feel anxiety, first in my legs, then in my stomach and then right on top of my chest,” Schaafsma recalled. “I couldn’t think straight.”
She retraced her steps for nearly an hour. Eventually, she entered a gift shop in a hurry and asked the cashier if anyone had turned in a black purse. The cashier’s eyes widened — someone had.
Overwhelmed with relief, Schaafsma began to cry. The cashier then shared an unexpected story. About half an hour earlier, two women had entered the shop, visibly upset. They found the purse on a park bench and saw a man going through it. When they questioned him, he made an answer in a low voice that his wife had lost it.
Sensing something was wrong, the women pretended the purse was theirs and managed to take it from him. Purse in hand, the women hurried to the gift shop and went inside. They waited for about half an hour to see if the owner would return, but when no one appeared, they left the purse with a security guard. Five minutes later, Schaafsma walked in.
“These women who I don’t know saved me hours of canceling cards and rescued me from massive anxiety,” Schaafsma said. She regrets never being able to thank them for their courage and quick thinking. The experience has made her reflect on her own willingness to help strangers. “What act of kindness am I willing to do on behalf of someone I don’t know ” she often wonders. To the two strangers, she says, “Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
4. What trouble did Schaafsma encounter in the park

In today’s world, smartphones have become a normal part of childhood for many kids. This is changing how children grow up, how they play, and how they connect with others. While technology offers useful tools and information, spending too much time on phones can lead to real problems. Studies show it can increase feelings of anxiety, make it harder to focus, and affect healthy sleep patterns.
Fortunately, many parents and communities are taking action. Movements like “Smartphone-Free Childhood” are gaining popularity. The main idea is simple: delay giving smartphones to children until they are older. Instead of screen time, these groups encourage real-world activities and face-to-face interaction. For instance, some neighborhoods have created “bike buddy” programs where children cycle to school together. Others provide “Balance Boxes” — kits (工具箱) containing toys, puzzles, and art supplies — to keep children engaged during family outings without needing a screen.
The success of these efforts depends on community solidarity (团结). When parents in a school or neighborhood agree together to wait, no single child feels excluded (被排斥的) for not having a smartphone. Schools that have carried out phone-free policies report positive results: classrooms are calmer and students are more focused on their lessons. As one student noted, without the constant distraction of phones, they can pay better attention in class and actually remember what they learn.
Creating a healthier balance doesn’t mean rejecting technology completely. It means making sure children have plenty of opportunities for unstructured play outdoors, safe streets to explore, and enough resting time at school. When children build forts (堡垒), or create art with their hands, they develop crucial life skills like creativity, problem-solving, and social confidence.
By working together, parents and communities can help the next generation build a childhood rooted in real experiences rather than digital ones. Returning to children the simple joys of free time, independent exploration, and genuine friendship is one of the most valuable investments we can make in their future well-being and happiness.
8. What is the purpose of “Smartphone-Free Childhood”
A. To stop children using smartphones completely.
B. To delay smartphone use for younger kids.
C. To teach children how to use smartphones safely.
D. To provide more smartphones for schools.
9. What can be inferred from the “bike buddy” program
A. Children prefer independent exploration. B. Schools provide free toys for kids.
C. Parents are against art supplies. D. Real-world interaction is encouraged.
10. What is the positive change that phone-free policies in schools bring to students
A. Using smartphones more wisely. B. Spending more time outdoors.
C. Becoming more focused in class. D. Communicating more with parents.
11. What does creating a healthier balance imply according to the passage
A. Rejecting technology from children’s lives.
B. Prioritizing real-world experiences for children.
C. Allowing unlimited smartphone use at home.
D. Reducing time for all children’s play activities.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. B
D
Green roofs are no longer merely eco-friendly architectural features that enhance urban landscapes and contribute to cleaner, healthier cities. A recent study shows a promising new function: they can block an estimated 97.5% of microplastics from rainwater. This positions green roofs as a strategic opportunity for the initial interception of atmospheric pollutants, offering valuable insights for future microplastic pollution management strategies.
Also known as living roofs, green roofs are vegetated systems integrated into building structures, with designs varying by climate, and purpose. Their history spans from ancient Persia and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon to Scandinavian sod roofs. However, it was in 1980s Germany that a research-driven revival (复兴) took place, leading to modern “Building Integrated Vegetation” systems.
The benefits of green roofs are diverse. They provide heat regulation, enhance urban biodiversity, manage stormwater, reduce flood risk, offer sound insulation (隔音), and create recreational or food production spaces. Moreover, they deliver both physical and mental health benefits to nearby residents and workers. Previous research has also highlighted their role in reducing energy costs and clearing airborne pollutants.
A Tongji University study reveals green roofs can intercept most airborne microplastics. In simulated tests using soil and plants, 66%-92% of microplastic particles were trapped in the soil, with plants capturing the rest. While increased rainfall improved retention, fibers were harder to capture than fragments (碎片). This shows green roofs’ potential in reducing urban microplastic pollution.
However, the study acknowledges limitations. Results are based on controlled conditions and may not represent all green roofs, which perform differently across climates and seasons. Moreover, green roofs themselves may age and degrade, potentially producing new microplastics over time. Thus, they are not a “set it and forget it” solution.
Despite these uncertainties, the potential is significant. The researchers advocate for large-scale field studies to refine their findings. They maintain that expanding green roofs on a city or regional scale could cost-effectively reduce atmospheric microplastic pollution and support sustainable development. As they conclude, green roofs can play a valuable role in easing urban microplastic pollution and inform future environmental management strategies.
12. What is a newly discovered function of green roofs
A. Reducing urban noise pollution.
B. Enhancing urban food production.
C. Improving building energy efficiency.
D. Blocking microplastics from rainwater.
13. What can be inferred about the effectiveness of green roofs in capturing microplastics
A. It is higher during dry seasons. B. It is unaffected by rainfall intensity.
C. It varies with weather and location. D. It is consistent across all climates.
14. What is a potential long-term concern regarding green roofs
A. They may increase urban temperatures.
B. They could become a source of microplastics.
C. They might reduce urban biodiversity.
D. They will require no further maintenance.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Green Roofs: A Tool Against Microplastics
B. Microplastic Pollution: A New Threat
C. Green Roofs: A Historical Review
D. Building Design: Past and Future
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. A

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。
After finishing high school in 1972, Elena Martinez was left alone when her family moved away without her.
“They didn’t ask where I would live or if I would study further. They gave me no money and just left,” she said.
Feeling lost, she turned to her former literature teacher, Mr David Shaw, who now taught at a local college. Knowing her talent and passion for theater from school plays, he encouraged her to enroll (报名上学). Using her small savings, she paid for her first semester and found a simple room.
“I still had no enough money. There were days I couldn’t afford basic necessities like toothpaste, so I brushed my teeth longer with just water,” she recalled.
Martinez worked very hard at her first term of the college life, joining the campus theater group and devoting every spare moment to rehearsals (排练). Mr Shaw, who taught her acting, was impressed. However, as the end of the semester approached, she realized she lacked the money to continue her education. She told Shaw at once.
“I explained, ‘I won’t be able to continue studying here next semester. I need to focus on working hard to save enough money.’” said she.
Several days later, Shaw approached her with unexpected news.
“He maintained his typically reserved manner and said, ‘You may not be the most deserving student, but it turns out there’s an unclaimed theater scholarship (奖学金), and you’ve been selected. Your next semester is fully covered.’” said she.
Moved with gratitude and relief, Martinez dedicated the following term to balancing studies with different part-time jobs. One of her classmates Peter applied to be a camp counselor (顾问)successfully, but she failed. Peter asked her why she got the scholarship while he didn’t, although his school scores were better than hers.
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。
Martinez became doubtful about the scholarship and visited the college office.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Martinez insisted on repaying him, but with a big smile Shaw gently refused.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【参考范文】
Martinez became doubtful about the scholarship and visited the college office. She inquired carefully about the so-called unclaimed theater scholarship, only to be told by the office clerk that no such scholarship existed in the college’s records. Shocked and deeply moved, Martinez finally realized Shaw had made up the lie to safeguard her dignity and avoid making her feel indebted. She hurried back to the classroom to find him, tears welling up in her eyes, and thanked him profoundly for his silent and warm kindness.
Martinez insisted on repaying him, but with a big smile Shaw gently refused. He patted her shoulder softly, saying her genuine passion for theater and unremitting diligence were far more valuable than money and deserved this support. “Just keep pursuing your theater dream firmly, and that will be the best reward for me,” he added gently. Inspired by his words, Martinez worked even harder, balancing studies and part-time jobs while devoting herself to campus theater. Years on, she established a scholarship in Shaw’s name to help poor but talented young people, passing on the precious kindness she once received.

However, the study acknowledges limitations. Results are based on controlled conditions and may not represent all green roofs, which perform differently across climates and seasons. Moreover, green roofs themselves may age and degrade, potentially producing new microplastics over time. Thus, they are not a “set it and forget it” solution.
Despite these uncertainties, the potential is significant. The researchers advocate for large-scale field studies to refine their findings. They maintain that expanding green roofs on a city or regional scale could cost-effectively reduce atmospheric microplastic pollution and support sustainable development. As they conclude, green roofs can play a valuable role in easing urban microplastic pollution and inform future environmental management strategies.
12. What is a newly discovered function of green roofs
A. Reducing urban noise pollution.
B. Enhancing urban food production.
C. Improving building energy efficiency.
D. Blocking microplastics from rainwater.
13. What can be inferred about the effectiveness of green roofs in capturing microplastics
A. It is higher during dry seasons. B. It is unaffected by rainfall intensity.
C. It varies with weather and location. D. It is consistent across all climates.
14. What is a potential long-term concern regarding green roofs

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。
After finishing high school in 1972, Elena Martinez was left alone when her family moved away without her.
“They didn’t ask where I would live or if I would study further. They gave me no money and just left,” she said.
Feeling lost, she turned to her former literature teacher, Mr David Shaw, who now taught at a local college. Knowing her talent and passion for theater from school plays, he encouraged her to enroll (报名上学). Using her small savings, she paid for her first semester and found a simple room.
“I still had no enough money. There were days I couldn’t afford basic necessities like toothpaste, so I brushed my teeth longer with just water,” she recalled.
Martinez worked very hard at her first term of the college life, joining the campus theater group and devoting every spare moment to rehearsals (排练). Mr Shaw, who taught her acting, was impressed. However, as the end of the semester approached, she realized she lacked the money to continue her education. She told Shaw at once.
“I explained, ‘I won’t be able to continue studying here next semester. I need to focus on working hard to save enough money.’” said she.
Several days later, Shaw approached her with unexpected news.
“He maintained his typically reserved manner and said, ‘You may not be the most deserving student, but it turns out there’s an unclaimed theater scholarship (奖学金), and you’ve been selected. Your next semester is fully covered.’” said she.
Moved with gratitude and relief, Martinez dedicated the following term to balancing studies with different part-time jobs. One of her classmates Peter applied to be a camp counselor (顾问)successfully, but she failed. Peter asked her why she got the scholarship while he didn’t, although his school scores were better than hers.

【参考范文】
Martinez became doubtful about the scholarship and visited the college office. She inquired carefully about the so-called unclaimed theater scholarship, only to be told by the office clerk that no such scholarship existed in the college’s records. Shocked and deeply moved, Martinez finally realized Shaw had made up the lie to safeguard her dignity and avoid making her feel indebted. She hurried back to the classroom to find him, tears welling up in her eyes, and thanked him profoundly for his silent and warm kindness.
Martinez insisted on repaying him, but with a big smile Shaw gently refused. He patted her shoulder softly, saying her genuine passion for theater and unremitting diligence were far more valuable than money and deserved this support. “Just keep pursuing your theater dream firmly, and that will be the best reward for me,” he added gently. Inspired by his words, Martinez worked even harder, balancing studies and part-time jobs while devoting herself to campus theater. Years on, she established a scholarship in Shaw’s name to help poor but talented young people, passing on the precious kindness she once received.
