Here are four student podcasts (播客) that offer a glimpse into the minds of students and what they say about
news concerning climate in their communities — and what they hope to do about it.
Behind the Scenes of the Mosquito Fire
In a 10-episode series, a sixth-grade class at the Georgetown School of Innovation in Georgetown, Calif.,
shares stories from the damaging Mosquito Fire in 2022. This group of eight students asks two firefighters from the
Georgetown Fire Department what it’s like to fight fires and protect loved ones in their hometown.
Fires: Set Ablaze
At Chautauqua Elementary, the Vashon fifth-graders talk about the far-reaching and lasting impact of wildfires
and wildfire smoke — and the direct effects on their lives, like waiting for the school bus on a smoky day. The
students also interview experts and share their research on wildfire precautions (预防措施).
Flowing Through Time
In this podcast from Peak Academy, a group of eight middle schoolers reports on dealing with water shortages
in Bozeman, Montana. They trace the history of their growing hometown’s water supply, which has been
dependent on mountain snowmelt. As that source becomes less reliable in a warming world, the students turn to the
grown-ups to ask what they can do to conserve water.
Washed Away
The deadly flooding in eastern Kentucky last year forever changed the lives of high schoolers Ryley Bowman,
Carolina Johnson and Hunter Noble. The three classmates at Morgan County High School in West Liberty, Ky.,
share firsthand accounts of their own and their family’s experiences during the floods.
第 3页/共 11页1. Who shows interest in firefighters’ stories?
A. Peak Academy students. B. Chautauqua Elementary students.
C. Morgan County High School students. D. Georgetown School of Innovation students.
2. Which podcast shows concern for water conservation?
A. Washed Away. B. Fires: Set Ablaze.
C. Flowing Through Time. D. Behind the Scenes of the Mosquito Fire.
3. What do Fires: Set Ablaze and Washed Away have in common?
A. They consult experts’ research results.
B. They explore the causes of climate change.
C. They share students’ personal experiences.
D. They discuss precautions for natural disasters.
B
“I’ve never picked the jobs I’ve done in my life,” says Mark Sadler, who spent 20 years working at the
London underground. But when he retired, he became a lifeguard.
Three years ago, Sadler was giving blood when he felt chest pain. He says, “The doctor asked: ‘Do you drink?’
Yeah, probably too much. ‘Do you smoke?’ Yes. They could see by my size that I ate too much.” Then Sadler
stopped smoking and drinking.
“I’ve always had to earn as much as I can to provide for my family,” Sadler says. At the underground, he
looked after the engineering fleet (工程车队). He worked 10-to 12-hour days, and often returned to visit the tunnels
at night. “If I got the call at 1, I’d be on the go at1: 15.”
He regards his wife and two daughters as “always the most important thing in my life”, but while he worked,
“they were wrapped in clingfilm (保鲜膜)”. He means he could see them, but they were in a separate world. That’s
why Sadler made his daughters, by then adults, an offer. “I told them: ‘If you have a child, I will become a full-time
grandparent.’” For the past couple of years, he has combined caring for his granddaughter with lifeguarding very
well. Being a grandparent, he says, has shown “how much I missed” as a father.
Now he is part of a community. “In my old job, I used to say to everyone: ‘Every day you’re learning.’ I feel
that even more now that I’ve got to 60. I’m doing something that I chose. I can balance my job with my wife and
family. It is everything I want.”
4. What made Sadler change his lifestyle?
A. A health problem. B. Pursuit of an ideal job.
第 4页/共 11页C. An accident at the underground. D. Financial pressures from his family.
5. What was Sadler’s experience like while working at the underground?
A. It offered him flexibility. B. It was physically dangerous.
C. It was associated with stress. D. It allowed him to travel the world.
6. Why did Sadler decide to become a full-time grandparent?
A. To escape job-related burnout. B. To enjoy his retirement.
C. To challenge himself. D. To focus on family.
7. How does Sadler feel about his career shift?
A. Regretful. B. Nervous. C. Relieved. D. Satisfied.
C
Humans are constantly looking for better solutions to the problems we face in our daily lives. One new school
of thought suggests that answers can be found in nature. This idea is called “biomimicry.”
Biomimicry proposes that if other organisms have already found a solution to a problem, we can copy that
solution instead of starting from the beginning.
Biomimicry uses the vast development we’ve made in science and technology. Take, for instance, the
challenge of keeping a building clean without using toxic (有毒的) chemicals. A team of German scientists looked
at a lotus (莲花) leaf under a microscope, and they discovered the surface of the leaf was covered with mountains.
The tiny peaks stopped dirt particles (微粒) from sticking to the leaves’ surface. They also made raindrops form
into balls. As the drops rolled off the leaf, they lifted the dirt and carried it away. They scientists developed a type
of paint based on the structure of the lotus leaf, which has a similar “mountainous” surface when it dries. When the
paint is used on the outside of buildings, rainwater washes the dirt away.
Another important idea in biomimicry is that humans should try to copy the way that natural systems work.
Most modern kitchen cabinets are made with glue that contains a toxic chemical. A scientist named Dr. Kaichang
Li wanted to find a replacement glue that would work just as well without that chemical. Walking on the beach one
day, he noticed the answer was right in front of him. Mussels (贻贝) were everywhere, clinging to the rocks in the
water. After studying how the mussels made their sticky threads, he created a nontoxic glue.
8. What is the main characteristic of “biomimicry”?
A. It relies on reinventing solutions.
B It prioritizes copying over innovation.
第 5页/共 11页C. It emphasizes the application of advanced technology.
D. It encourages the use of traditional methods in problem-solving.
9. What is the similarity between the dried paint and lotus leaves according to paragraph 3?
A. They collect water. B. They have a rough surface.
C. They resist dirty raindrops. D. They contain the same substance.
10. What might the author convey through the case of making a nontoxic glue?
A. Products should be recycled and reused.
B. Waste products are a concern in biomimicry.
C. Glue production is a significant environmental issue.
D. Studying the way natural systems work can help reduce pollution.
11. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Nature does it better B. Learning from nature
C. Should we put technology back into nature? D. How can biomimicry help redesign civilization?
D
Picture this: You’re home alone, and it’s nearing dinnertime. You grab a box of cookies from the cupboard,
some olives and baby carrots from the fridge. Then you eat right off the kitchen counter with your fingers. All told,
the meal takes five minutes, one plate, and no utensils (餐具) . You, my friend, have just made yourself a “girl
dinner.”
What once may have been a sheepish tradition has recently achieved viral fame on the internet thanks to
Olivia Maher, who first coined the phenomenon in a TikTok. The trend has since amassed nearly one billion views.
Where users have started sharing their own creations.
There are some potential benefits of this kind of meal. For one, slightly smaller portions (份额) before bedtime
could be a good thing. “It’s really nutritionally better to eat a larger meal in the middle of the day and a lighter meal
at night,” says Kima Cargill, a psychology professor. “A lot of cultures will just eat, like leftovers, or soup and
bread or something for dinner, ” she says, “which from a digestion viewpoint, is a better. ”
Women often assume caretaking roles in a household, on top of all their other daily life responsibilities. “Girl
dinner encourages people to listen to and follow their heart. It can be a celebration of freedom, if only for one meal,
from that domestic labor, ” nutritionist Alissa Rumsey says.
The trend has also raised eyebrows for what some argue is a support for low-calorie snacks in small,
sometimes insubstantial portions. “My biggest concern with this is that many of these ‘girl dinners’ that we see on
第 6页/共 11页social media are not enough, which can both promote and normalize disordered eating and under-eating, ” Rumsey
says.
Her advice: avoid and unfollow any content creators that make you feel shame. Even if a video isn’t directly
about weight loss, it’s hard not to see a person’s daily food intake as guidelines on how to look like them. But what
works for them may not work for you.
12. What does the term “girl dinner” refer to?
A. A low-effort meal. B. A weight-losing diet.
C. A time-honored recipe. D. A money-saving snack.
13. What aspect of the girl dinner is appreciated by Kima Cargill?
A. It’s rich nutritionally. B. It’s often in small portions.
C Its tendency to be eaten at home. D. Its expression of cultural identity.
14. What does the girl dinner mean to women according to Alissa Rumsey?
A. Tiresome housework. B. Effort to meet kids’ wishes.
C. An opportunity for socializing. D. A break from daily responsibilities.
15. What does Alissa Rumsey recommend?
A. Limiting your time online.
B. Avoiding following others’ diets blindly.
C. Taking in low-calorie snacks in small portions.
D. Reducing the frequency of eating the girl dinner.

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。
When I was a kid, my parents brought me a four-month-old puppy (小狗). My family named the puppy Dusty.
Although I wanted to lay only claim to her affections, in a family of seven kids, no one lays permanent claim to the
family pet.
Dusty was our dog, not “my” dog. We soon realized that she had patience. My baby sister often transformed
Dusty’s warm fur into a naptime pillow — falling asleep on the carpet. Like a protective mother, Dusty waited —
without moving — until my sister woke.
Dusty doubled as a school crossing guard, too. Monday through Friday she’d walk us kids two blocks to St.
Patrick’s Parochial, looking both ways to check for the traffic before allowing us to cross the street. We’d wave
第 10页/共 11页good-bye as we entered the door, knowing Dusty would be waiting at the school door to claim us at the close of the
school day.
Of all the contributions Dusty made to our family, one incident stands out far above all others.
Late one night, Dusty rushed to my parents’ bedroom. She barked and barked. When she got no response,
Dusty raced upstairs to my bedroom and my brothers’ bedroom and barked again and again. When she failed to
fully wake us, she flew back down the steps and returned to my parents’ room. Finally, she got Mom’s attention.
“What are you doing, Dusty?” Mom said, still halfway in dreamland. Dusty persisted (坚持). Finally my
mother gave in. “Okay, what is it?”
Dusty rushed out of Mom's room. Thinking the dog needed to be let out to relieve herself, my mother followed
Dusty to the front door.

47. When Mom opened the door, Dusty tore across the street, not stopping to do her business as my mother
had assumed. Her paws pounded the ground, not a moment wasted as she raced, her tail streaming behind her like a
triumphant banner. Then Mom discovered what Dusty already knew. The house across the street—where my best
friend, Marianne, and her family lived — was on fire! All of Dusty’s middle-of-the-night craziness had served a
purpose: she’d been trying to call for help.
My mother called the fire department immediately. Soon, the firemen in their trucks roared up the street, put out the
fire, saved my best friend’s family from harm and their house from total ruin. My mother refused to take credit. “It
was Dusty, ” I put my arms around my dog’s neck and kissed her square on the tip of her wet nose. “Thank you for
saving Marianne, ” I whispered into Dusty’s black ear. “You’re the bravest dog I’ve ever known. ”
