Not long ago, my son Kevin asked me about the meaning of a word in a novel he was reading.
“Look it up,” I responded automatically. We were sitting next to a bookshelf holding at least three
dictionaries. Kevin sighed dramatically.“Can’t you justuseyour phone?”
Aterrifying thought occurred tome. “Doyou even knowhowto usea dictionary?”
“Of course,” he scoffed. “Every chapter is a different letter.” I laughed out loud. I had never
thought of thedictionary as somethingreadfrom beginning to end.
We pored over a paperback dictionary together. It took Kevin a few tries to find the word, and
he was overwhelmed that an entire page could be devoted to words sharing the same three beginning
letters. “How can there bethismany words?” heasked, with alternating horror and awe.
I was just a bit older than Kevin when I decided to learn as many words as I could, marking
every entry I looked up with a small penciled dot. The dictionary was a gift for my 13th birthday.
Although neither of my parents went to college, they made clear that my education was a family
priority. I marked up my dictionary because I enjoyed the process. I did it for the experience, not the
result.
The dictionary was stolen at the end of my freshman year of college. When Kevin asked to see
it,a smallpain gripped my chest. “Thebookis gone,”I said.
“That is sosad,” hesaid. “But you stillknowall thosewords, even withoutthebook.”
I realized this was true. It was not the dictionary that got me there. It is not about the words
themselves or how we learn them, but the wanting to know them--the curiosity (好奇心) and the
3appetite.
24.What does Kevin usually doto get themeaning of aword?
A. Useelectronicdevices. B. Consulta paper dictionary.
C.Guess from thecontext. D.Turn to hisEnglish teacher.
25.Howdid Kevin feel whilelooking uptheword in thedictionary?
A.Annoyed. B. Disappointed. C.Encouraged. D. Astonished.
26.What canwe learn about theauthor’s first dictionary?
A. It helped her through college. B. It was given toKevin as agift.
C.It bore witness toher efforts. D.It was avaluable limited edition.
27.What has theauthorcome to realizeabout learning?
A. It is never too late tostart. B. Motivationiswhat really matters.
C.Children need rolemodels. D.Dictionaries are stillauseful tool.

New York City is planting tens of thousands of trees each year. They provide shade, lower
surface temperatures, absorb airborne carbon, and offer wildlife habitat along with just plain beauty.
Whatcouldgo wrong?
Actually, something could, according to a new study. Oaks and sweetgums, which account for a
majority of the city’s trees, produce huge amounts of volatile compounds called isoprenes (异戊二
烯). Harmless by themselves, isoprenes interact rapidly with nitrogen oxides emitted by vehicles to
form ground-level ozone,aprime factor inmany respiratory ailments such as asthma.
The research found that if the city maintains past species patterns, isoprene production in
Manhattan will risebyabout 140%,and summer ozonelevels byas much as 30%.
“We’re all for planting more trees. They bringso many good things.” said study coauthor Roisin
Commane. “But ifwe’renot careful, wecould make air qualityworse.”
But isoprene from trees alone is not to blame. Ozone cannot form without nitrogen oxides,
emitted during the burning of fossil fuels by vehicles and industry. Many city dwellers remain
oblivious to this connection, assuming trees can only ever clean the air. “If we lowered emissions
significantly,trees would not beaproblem,”said lead authorDandanWei. “It is thecars.”
The Parks Department is aware of the issue. Like the study authors, scientist Novem Auyeung
said trees should not be viewed as the enemy. “We could plant any trees we want, if we just rethink
ourcar-centriclifestyle,” shesaid.
In fact, the department has already reduced the proportion of oaks it plants in favor of a more
diverse mix, mainly to protect against pests. Oaks are keystone species, providing food and habitat
for native insects and birds. Importantly, northern red oaks can function in high temperatures when
othertrees shut down.“There are stillwonderful reasons to have them around,” saidCommane.
28.What does thenew studyimply regarding oaks and sweetgums?
A.They affect thegrowth ofother trees. B.They absorb less carbon than expected.
C.They harm people’s health indirectly. D.They raise thelocal temperature slowly.
29.Which ofthefollowing may Commanesuggest based ontheirstudy?
A. Cutting downtheisoprene-producing trees.
B. Suspending tree-planting forafew decades.
C.Changingthespecies oftrees in newplantings.
D. Removingisoprene released byexisting trees.
30.What does theunderlined phrase “obliviousto”in paragraph 5mean?
4A. Honest about. B. Unawareof. C.Related to. D.Optimisticabout.
31.What wouldAuyeungprobably advocate?
A. Reducingcar usein daily life. B. Providinganimals with newhabitats.
C.Controllingpopulation growth. D.Doing moreresearch ontheproblem.

Since the dawn of philosophy, thinkers from Plato to Kant have considered how beauty affects
the human mind. Now, a new study from the University of Cambridge suggests that contemplating
thebeautyof artisticobjects boosts ourability to thinkinabstract ways and seethebigger picture.
Researchers say engaging with beauty helps us escape the mental trappings of daily life and
break oureveryday patterns of thought, shiftingus intoa moreexpansivestateofmind.
A team of Cambridge psychologists used the University’s modern art gallery as a living
laboratory. For the study, 187 people visited an exhibition of handmade clay objects. “Ceramics (陶
瓷) were ideal,” said Professor Simone Schnall. “A glorious painting would be too striking. We
neededart subtlein form, requiring focused contemplation.”
Participants were split into two groups. The beauty group was asked to give a rating of how
beautiful each object was, while the control group simply matched a line drawing with the artwork.
Therating task, though simple, madeall thedifference.
The beauty group scored almost 14% higher than the control group in abstract thinking, and
reported greater interest in life’s bigger questions. They also felt more moved, enlightened and
inspired.
Importantly, however, the beauty group felt no happier than the control group. The researchers
asked about these feelings on purpose: by ruling out mood, they could pin down the true factor
behind the improved thinking. It was the engagement with beauty itself, not the difficulty of the task
orany passing good mood.
“People today are often tethered to their devices, thinking in very concrete terms,” added
Schnall. “Admiring beauty may be the ideal way to trigger the abstract, critical thinking increasingly
lost in a world of screens.” The findings, she suggests, point to a simple lesson: encouraging people
toslow downandengage with beauty can sharpen theway they think.
32.What was thetaskof the“beauty”group?
A. Matching linedrawings with objects. B. Ratinghowbeautiful each object was.
C.Creating their ownclay objects. D.Describing theirdaily worries.
33.According to thestudy,which group was morelikely to thinkbeyond dailylife?
A.The beauty group, who showed greaterinterest in bigger questions.
B.Thebeauty group, who felt much happier afterwards.
C.Thecontrol group, whoshowed stronger abstract thinking.
D.The control group, whofelt more enlightened.
34.Whydid theresearchers ask about the participants’feelings?
A.Tocompare thetwo groups’scores.
B.Tojudge theirspecific thinkingpattern.
C.Tomeasure thedifficulty ofthetask.
D.Toidentify thetrue factor behindtheresults.
35.What does thestudy encouragepeople to do?
A.Visit galleries moreoften. B. Spend less timeonscreens.
C.Buy handmade ceramics. D.Develop theircritical thinking.

Museums, once silent halls of the past, are now using artificial intelligence (AI) in surprising
ways. Walk into many modern galleries today and an AI-powered guide can chat with you, answer
your questions, andshare fascinating stories about theworks ondisplay. 36 .
The ways in which AI assists visitors are truly surprising. 37 Virtual guides can respond
in dozens of languages and adjust their tone to suit each listener, whether a young student or a
lifelong art lover.They make everyvisit feel personal.
AI can also examine artworks in fine detail, far beyond what is possible with human eyes. 38
Moreover, it can predict how a fragile painting may age over the years, allowing experts to step in
before any visibledamage appears.
Beyond preservation, AI creates tailored experiences for individual visitors and their families.
39 For instance, a curious child and a trained art expert standing before the same painting might
eachreceive acompletely different guided tour.
Yet the growing use of AI also raises concerns. These systems depend on collecting vast
amounts of personal information through their data-driven algorithms. 40 Strict rules are
therefore needed to ensurethat every visitor’sprivacy is fully protected.
A.These capabilitiesmakeAI apowerful tool forart restoration.
B.Visitordata, ifmisused, could lead toserious privacy issues.
C. In short,AI is changingthemuseum experience in many respects.
D.It tailors recommendations to different ages andlearning styles.
E.Museums have always been important places forlearning.
F.Furthermore,AIchatbots are replacing traditionalaudio guides.
G.AIis also usedto design moreattractive exhibits.

When I was two years old, my family moved from Cincinnati to a little town in northeast Ohio
called Cortland. The 41 that people only really knew Ohio for the three C’s-Cleveland,
Cincinnati, or Columbus (not Cortland!)-came quickly when I decided to go to school in central
Pennsylvania. The truth is, I never considered myself “Midwestern” until I left Ohio. You’d think
that people would realize that we were neighboring states, but the people at my “East Coast” school
thought of Ohio as a whole different world. Half of my peers didn’t even realize I lived a 42
three and a half hours away. “Do you have to fly home? Do you live on a farm? Is there even
anything in Ohio worth seeing?” The 43 are never-ending. I was a unicorn in their eyes, a 44
Or, on second thought, maybe just a country hick. Don’t even get me started on the “pop” versus
“soda” debate...
As I grow older, I’m more and more 45 for my small town roots. Sure, my friends and I
loved to 46 about how bored we were in the middle of nowhere, 47 , as I finish up my
junior year of college, I’m convinced that it took 48 our small town to realize how much we
actually did loveit andwhat exactly we lovedabout it.
Wegrew upamongst corn fields, spent summers byMosquito Lake, and learned to ride ourbike
on the hill with the rest of the kids in the neighborhood. We played kick ball and Red Rover in the
6empty lot down the street, caught snapping turtles in the creek and snakes in the shared vegetable
garden behind the fence, and spent many an afternoon exploring the woods behind our houses. We
counted thedays until thecounty fair,prayed for snow days (insideout pj’s and ice cubes inthe toilet,
anyone?), we’re forced into corn holecompetitions byour dads, never viewed burnt out headlights as
anything other than padiddles, and have all run a red light at some point at one of the five stoplights
in town. I might be showing my affinity toward the midwest lifestyle, but all of these things have
taught meimportant lifelessons.
For one, the pace of life isn’t anxiety provoking and people really 49 connecting to each
other. That means that you do more than just talk to your next door neighbors-in a lot of cases,
they’re truly an 50 of your family. So much of this 51 revolves around being outside
and knowing the ins and outs of the town, being present and mindful of your 52 is a critical
part of the culture. The gift of being able to grow up slowly is another invaluable treasure that I was
given by my small town. Sure, there will always be a little bit of “keeping up with the Jones’,” or
rather the “advanced” girls, but I never felt pressure to rush through my childhood or to act older
than Iwas-heck, Iwas still playing withAmerican Girl dolls in middleschool!
As I move through my college years, I 53 the visits to my little hometown. A huge perk
has been the memories that I made with the people that I was lucky enough to know, and maybe
wouldn’t have if our school district didn’t have just one building for each the elementary, middle,
and high schools. There were no more than 130 kids in my public school graduating class and we
had known each other since kindergarten. My life would be so different without the midwestern
friendliness and hospitality that I’ve been exposed to through the years and which has acted as my
compass growing up. I am grateful for the 54 that I had growing up and know that wherever
mynext adventure takes me, Ican 55 my smalltown roots to lead me inthe right direction.

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。
Hailey Slovikof Detroit said she’s learned avaluablelesson about winterdriving.
The 27-year-old was one of dozens-possibly hundreds-of people who found themselves
marooned inChatham-Kent trapped byafierce winterstorm Dec. 23.
The just-in-time-for-Christmas blizzard saw Mayor Darrin Canniff declare a state of emergency
and the closure of both Highway 401 and Highway 40, as first responders and snow plow operators
grappled withdrifting snowin whiteout conditions.
The extreme weather event saw local residents and business owners open their doors to the
stranded, and many travellers were also welcomed to emergency shelters at schools, churches, arenas
andeven Chatham’sWal-Mart.
On her way to Toronto to visit her boyfriend and meet his family for the first time, Slovik set
out in the afternoon. She heard there was a storm coming, but didn’t give it a lot of thought thinking
shecould “beat it”andgo around any problem areas.
“I thought it was like Michigan where they detoured you around the parts of the road that were
8closed,” Slovik said. “I didn’t realizethat wouldn’thappen...I didn’tthink itwould be abig deal.”
Old Man Winter had different plans. Slovik discovered Hwy. 401 was closed from Tilbury to
London,with policeredirecting offthehighway towards Chatham.
Now facing a blinding whiteout, her Buick Lacrosse slipped into a ditch somewhere. However,
shemanaged to get car out, crawling along unfamiliarroads.
As night lengthened Slovik said she began to panic. She found herself on Bloomfield Road but
got stuck whenshe attempted to turn thecar around.
Other vehicles stopped to see if she was okay. A passerby offered Slovik a blanket that she
pulled around herself to keep warm, as she turned the car’s ignition on and off to charge her phone
andcreate heat.
Eventually shefell asleep.
Enter Good Samaritan Jessie. Slovik awoke to a knock on her car window and an invitation to
comein out ofthecold.
“He asked if I was OK and if I needed anything and then invited me to come and sleep on the
couch,”Sloviksaid. “Iwas so happy andI was sograteful.”
The next morning, Jessie and his friend Chantel helped Slovik plot her next move. Because her
car was stuck with no scheduled time to be towed out, she decided to catch the train to Toronto and
return whenthecar was pulled out.
However, Slovik’s impromptu hosts weren’t done helping. They helped Slovik purchase a VIA
rail ticket toTorontoand gave hera suitcaseto carry her Christmas gifts in.
“They bought my ticket and Ipaid them back,”she said, notingit was her first-evertrain ride.
On Boxing Day, Slovik got a ride to Chatham with her boyfriend’s family, retrieved the car and
headedback to theU.S.
The American traveller said she’s in awe of how events unfolded during the storm and of the
kindness ofthestrangers she met.
“I wasn’t expecting this kind of help,” Slovik explained. “It’s like a Christmas miracle. The
chances of melanding in someone’s yard likethat...it’s likeI met anangel.”
“You never know,” Slovik said. “I never thought I would meet such polite people. It definitely
madeeverything easier.It certainly could haveturned out differently.”
Henceforth, Slovik said she will be prepared for winter driving and will “definitely” be packing
flares, candles, blankets, ashovel and food “just in case”she encounters a storm ontheroad.
Slovik also had plenty of praise for Chatham-Kent police who oversaw her car tow and the
9-1-1 operators she spokewiththroughout theordeal.
“They were calm and very,very helpful.”
Thecouple suggested that Emilytake a train tomeet her boyfriend.__________
