In a scenic community a man known as Uncle Green has redefined the concept of waste. As a yam bean farmer, Uncle Green held a deep respect for education, coming from his own unfulfilled academic eagerness. Noticing a lack of enthusiasm for reading among the youth, he was determined to make a difference.
In 1997, he established a scholarship program initially funded by the local community, including contributions from other patrons. However, Uncle Green realized the need for a sustainable approach to support both education and the environment.
His innovative solution emerged in 2002 when he launched a scholarship fund fueled by the community’s recycling efforts. This initiative not only provided financial aid to students but also actively engaged the community in a collective environmental and educational effort. The program grew rapidly, transforming recyclables into educational scholarships and promoting a culture of sustainability.
Today, the community awards scholarships annually during the Mid-Autumn Festival, benefiting students from a wide range of educational backgrounds. The initiative has recycled60 tons of materials each year, fostering a spirit of volunteerism and responsibility.
Success stories, such as that of a doc tor al student in electrical engineering and a student attending a famous university, are a testament (证明) to the program’s impact. These students have not only achieved academically but also expressed a desire to contribute to their community.
Over two decades since its foundation, Uncle Green’s vision continues to inspire. The Community Development Association upholds his legacy by awarding scholarships to an increasing number of students. The collective effort has cultivated (培养) a love for reading and a commitment to sustainable living among the youth.
Uncle Green’s story is a powerful example of how individual initiative and community cooperation can lead to sustainable change. It demonstrates the harmony between traditional values and modern social needs, providing a model for communities worldwide.
4. What inspired Uncle Green to start the scholarship program
A. The demand of his profession. B. His desire to teach children.
C. His deep respect for eagerness. D. The youths’ unwillingness to read.
5. How did Uncle Green’s scholarship program achieve sustainability
A. Through government grants. B. Through annual fundraisers.
C. Through community recycling. D. Through business partnerships.
6. Why does the author mention the two students in paragraph 5
A. To seek for help from the community. B. To attract more youths to the initiative.
C. To indicate the importance of scholarship. D. To show the success of Uncle Green’s initiative.
7. What can Uncle Green’s story tell us
A. Unity and innovation can create lasting change.
B. Education relies heavily on financial donations.
C. Environmental efforts outweigh academic pursuits.
D. Traditional methods can solve contemporary issues.
C
Deep within an Indonesian rainforest, a team of research scientists recorded something: a Sumatran orangutan (红毛猩猩) named Rakus carefully treating a cut on his cheek with a medical plant. “This is the first observation of a wild animal doing so,” said Isabelle Laumer, a primatologist at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior in Germany.
The rainforest surrounding the research center is home to the highest density of Sumatran orangutans. One June morning in 2022, the researchers there observed that Rakus had suffered a wound under his right eye. Because he had wandered outside of the research area, no one witnessed how the injury occurred though the researchers have two hypotheses (假设).
One is that Rakus fell from a tree and got hit by a branch. Because Sumatran orangutans spend about 98 percent of their time in trees, they sometimes grab dead or dying branches that can’t hold their weight. The other possibility is that Rakus was wounded during a fight with another Sumatran orangutan. Fights within this region of the rainforest are rare but can occur when males try to establish dominance (统治地位).
Regardless of how the injury occurred, the team observed Rakus climbing plants called Akar Kuning, commonly used by humans as treatment for wounds and illnesses like malaria (疟疾). Rakus removed the leaves from the plant and chewed them. He then repeatedly put the liquid he extracted from the plant directly onto his wound. Afterward, he placed a solid part of the leaf over the area. Incredibly, the next day he returned to eat the plant again. Three days later, the wound closed. Within a month, its scar was barely noticeable.
“It could be that he was just feeding on the plant and then accidentally touched his wound with the hand that had been touching it and its pain-relieving properties were immediately felt so he applied it to the area again and again,” said Laumer.
“This new finding highlights the adaptive intelligence of these animals in natural environment, making us know animal behavior, medicinal plant use, and the potential development of human medicine,” said Ina-Vandebroek, a senior lecturer at the University of the West Indies in Jamaica.
8. What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text
A. Scientists discover a new species. B. The rainforest contains medical plants.
C. A Sumatran orangutan treats the wound. D. Wild animals learn to use plants as tools.
9. What is one possible reason for that Rakus’ injury
A. He was attacked by a natural enemy. B. He wandered outside the research area.
C. He was hit by his children while playing. D. He fell from a tree and was hurt by a branch.
10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The magic power of the plant. B. The process of treating the cut.
C. The intelligence of using a skill. D. The hard work to produce medicine.
11. How did Rakus learn to master the treatment according to Laumer
A. By happening to find it. B. By learning from others.
C. By testing it on his body. D. By applying it repeatedly.
D
In a new study, researchers have discovered bottled water sold in stores can contain 10 to100 times more bits of plastic than previously estimated—nanoplastics (纳米塑料) so tiny that they cannot be seen under a microscope.
At one-thousandth the average width of a human hair, nanoplastics are so small that they can migrate through the tissues of the digestive tract or lungs into the bloodstream, distributing potentially noxious synthetic (人造的) chemicals throughout the body and into cells. One liter of water contains an average of 240,000 plastic particles from seven types of plastics, of which 90% are identified as nanoplastics and the rest are microplastics, according to the new study.
According to Sherri Mason, a researcher, the new finding strengthens long-held expert advice to drink tap water from glass or stainless steel containers to reduce exposure. That advice extends to other foods and drinks packaged in plastic.
Nanoplastics are the most worrying type of plastic pollution for human health. “The chemicals can be carried to your liver, kidney, and brain and even make their way across the placental boundary and end up in an unborn child,” said Mason.
“Based on other studies, we expected most of the microplastics in bottled water would come from leakage of the plastic bottle itself, which is typically made of PET(聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯) plastic,”said Qian, a doctoral student at Columbia University. Studies have found that particles of this plastic can be broken off by repeatedly opening and closing the cap of the bottle, crushing the bottle or subjecting it to heat, such as in a car.
“We can avoid consuming foods and beverages (饮料) in plastic containers. We can wear clothing made from natural fabric s and buy consumer products made from natural materials,”said Jane Houlihan, an expert in environmental health.“We can estimate the plastic in our daily lives and find alternatives whenever possible.” Several studies have also reported lower microplastic levels in tap water.
12. What does the underlined word “noxious” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Identical. B. Harmful. C. Primitive. D. Dynamic.
13. How do microplastics mainly enter bottled water according to the text
A By being present in the air. B. By contaminating the water source.
C. By breaking off from the plastic bottle. D. By being added during the producing process.
14. What does Jane Houlihan suggest doing to reduce plastic consumption in daily life
A. Increasing the use of water containers.
B Purchasing products made from synthetic materials.
C. Choosing natural fabrics and materials whenever possible.
D. Avoiding products packaged in glass or stainless steel containers.
15. Which can be the best title for the text
A. How to Reduce Plastic Use in Daily Life B. New Study on Bottled Water Pollution
C. The Benefits of Drinking Tap Water D. The Health Risks of Nanoplastics

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。
It was the 1990s, and I worked in a restaurant. The Governess was a woman, perhaps in her sixties, with short hair set in curls that were close to her head. She dressed and spoke with a stiff sort of formality. She was strict, close to mean.
We didn’t hate her. I don’t think she ever got the cold shoulder. We were all extremely nice to her in hopes that she wouldn’t be too demanding with us. She tipped adequately. But it was exhausting to serve her.
For some reasons, I didn’t see her for a long time. However, after a whole year or so, she came in, and it was my shift to wait on the table. I thought, “No... I just can’t deal with her.” I was waiting tables, pregnant and exhausted. But this was my job, so I forced a smile onto my face and greeted her, “Can I help you ”
To my surprise, she smiled back. Throughout her whole meal, she was pleasant and warm. It was like a switch had been turned on, and she had become a completely different person. Another server whispered to me that she had been in a few days before and was just as cheerful then.
When one of our servers found out she was a head master in a small private school, he let it slip that we had nicknamed her “The Governess”. We thought that she would feel awkward about it. To our surprise, she gladly responded, “Oh, It’s so cute. I love it!”
She came into the restaurant one day, stating that she wanted to book a large party for an early dinner: her retirement party. The news surprised us all. We couldn’t believe that the strict and formal Governess we had known for years was finally hanging up her hat.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
After her leaving, we started to prepare for her retirement party.

【47题答案】
【答案】参考范文：
After her leaving, we started to prepare for her retirement party. As we prepared for the party, all the servers gave varieties of suggestions. All the waitresses once served her mentioned her favorite food. At last, one of our line cooks suggested that we get a custom sign— “Governess Parking Only”. All agreed it was a good idea. Several of us joined in to have it made. When the party came, her husband laughed happily at “Governess Parking Only” sign.
Her husband asked if he could take the sign—“Governess Parking Only”—with them. Of course the answer was a big yes. Every employee of the restaurant was there to wish her well. A few of our former servers even stopped in to give her a hug. Shortly after that, she was gone from our lives, moving to a warmer state. I never knew what caused her shift in personality, but I’m so glad we could get to know her as well as we did.
