In my childhood, whenever I was being unreasonable, or questioning whatever direction my mother was giving, she would say “I’m the momma and you’re the baby.” End of discussion. Until one day she asked me to do something for her and I said, “No. You’re the momma; I’m the baby.” It gave her a good laugh.
But, at 31, I’m realizing the dynamic might be shifting. She’s the momma; I’m the baby. But I’m also something else now. More will be asked of me to take care of her. My mother is getting older.
The realization hit me during a recent visit home. In my memory, our house wasn’t spotless, but I’d call it tidy. Weekends were for cleaning. Yet during this visit I was taken aback by piles upon piles of mail and papers and junk. A fridge full of spoiled food. A mountain of clothes begging to be located. Was it always this way? When did she become a hoarder (囤积者)? A symptom of aging?
But my mother would like you to know something: She is not a hoarder. She spoke frankly with more self-awareness than I expected about life and time and happiness. “The time that I have to go through those things would be my weekends. Do I want to spend my Saturday afternoon going through all the junk? Or do I want to go hang out with my friends? I think the latter. I don’t want to spend one minute of my free time doing anything that doesn’t bring me joy,” she says.
It’s not that my mother has no worries about aging, but she came to terms with it long before. “Trey, you could spend so much time worrying about things that aren’t perfect. Then time slips by, and they’re never going to be,” she continues. “I think happiness is a moment-to-moment, day-to-day kind of thing. It’s not something you sustain. I still think I’m hot- that might be in my head, but so what.”
24. What was the author’s tone in his response to Mom in paragraph 1?
A. Unwilling.
B. contented.
C. Serious.
D. Sympathetic.
25. What made the author label Mom as a hoarder at first?
A. Her refusal to donate old stuff.
B. The mess in Mom’s house.
C. Her preference for an economical life.
D. The decline of Mom’s health.
26. Why didn’t Mom tidy the house on weekends?
A. She had plans with her friends.
B. She was too old to do it on her own.
C. She had trouble sorting out the junk.
D. She desired a pleasant time for herself.
27. Which of the following may best describe Mom’s philosophy of life ?
A. An idle youth, a needy age.
B. Haste makes waste.
C. No thorn, no throne.
D. Living in the present.
C
Facial recognition software used to study the social behavior of individual Greylag Geese (灰雁) in Europe will soon be used to monitor another rare geese species, the Cape Baren Goose in South Australia. The technology was used to assess how each bird responds to images of themselves, other mates or partners. Researchers found that it could be used to monitor and record endangered wildlife.
The program tested each goose face with life size 2D images of members of the Greylag Goose flock. With 97% accuracy, each goose face could be correctly assigned within a photo library containing 6,000 possible matches. “Next, the team placed life-sized photos in a grassy field to see whether geese behave differently to each image, which they did,” says Professor Kleindorfer.
It was found that the geese approached the photo of their partners more quickly, gave friendly contact calls and fed for longer. In contrast, when they saw a picture of themselves — a goose they had never seen before — they made angry sounds and took longer to approach food, if they fed at all.
The latest findings into visual cues of individuality not only give insights into the birds’ social structure but illustrate how the software to monitor individual faces or body patterns can be monitored using photographs collected in the field — for animal numbers and movements — in conservation efforts.
“Animal welfare could also be enhanced through the use of photographs in captivity (圈养),” says Dr Colombelli-Negrel. “A photo might reduce the sense of isolation in a social species held in captivity or serve as a ‘soft introduction’ before a new animal is introduced into an enclosure. Perhaps captive individuals in group-living species express reduced anxiety when exposed to a photograph of an unknown and smaller conspecific.”
28. What makes it possible for facial recognition software to monitor animals?
A. Its research on animal behaviors.
B. Its ability to identify different faces.
C. Its photo library of Greylag Geese.
D. Its advanced tracking technology.
29. What is probably the geese’s reaction to a picture of themselves?
A. Excited.
B. Indifferent.
C. Aggressive.
D. Friendly.
30. What do animal photos do to captive animals?
A. Avoid conflicts between them.
B. Provide entertainment for them.
C. Release their negative emotions.
D. Introduce species to them.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. How Endangered Animals Can Be Saved.
B. What Difficulties Animal Protection Will Face.
C. How Facial Recognition Benefits Animals.
D. What Photos Can Boost Animals’ Moods.
D
In the early hours of March 13,1964, Kitty Genovese was attacked violently near her New York apartment despite neighbors hearing her screams. The case made headlines in The New York Times, which reported that 38 witnesses heard the attack but took no action.
To figure out the reason, social psychologists John Darley and Bibb Latané conducted two classic experiments. Their first experiment showed that the more bystanders there were, the more an individual’s sense of responsibility diffused— 85% of participants helped in a one-on-one situation, while only 31% did so in a group of six. In their second smoke experiment, 75% of people alone sought help when smoke filled the room, but just 10% did so with passive bystanders around.
They pointed out that the bystander effect mainly springs from people’s failure to interpret a situation as an emergency due to others’ inaction. The second reason for the bystander effect is that when multiple bystanders are present, each person feels less personal commitment to act, as they assume others (especially those with professional skills like doctors or police) will intervene. This phenomenon is more common in urban areas with many strangers, unlike in small communities where people feel a clear sense of responsibility to help others they know.
Recent research has cast doubt on the universality of Darley and Latané’s classic bystander effect theory. Using real-world CCTV footage from three pairs of culturally diverse cities — Lancaster, Amsterdam, and Cape Town — Dr. Richard Philpot of Lancaster University and his team analyzed 212 violent incidents.
Their findings showed that bystanders intervened in 91% of cases, and in direct contradiction to the original theory, the presence of more bystanders actually increased the likelihood of intervention, with multiple people often stepping in together. The consistent types of intervention across different cities suggest we are born with the wish to help others, driven by social conventions and a desire to understand, protect, and assist others.
32. What does the underlined word “diffused”in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Weakened.
B. Shifted.
C. Continued.
D. Increased.
33. The bystander effect occurs primarily because people _________.
A. are unwilling to help strangers
B. are influenced by urbanization
C. are discouraged by professionals
D. are unable to recognize an emergency
34. Which statement does Philpot probably agree with?
A. Protecting others should be advocated.
B. Bystander responses rely on intervention types.
C. The tendency to help is rooted in human nature.
D. Cultural differences lead to the bystander effect.
35. What is the author’s attitude towards bystander effect?
A. Subjective
B. Impartial
C. Critical
D. Favourable
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
One early morning, as I walked around the block, a friend’s “hi” from my phone nearly stopped me in my tracks. ____36____ She talked me through a life update from the opposite side of the country. It felt like the surprise of an unexpected letter because we normally didn’t communicate that way.
At the time, I only sent voice messages occasionally. Stage fright would kick in. I worried that I’d say the wrong thing, or that others would experience the same cringe (局促不安) upon hearing my voice that I do.____37____
But recently, I’ve found myself recalling how my friend’s voice broke through loneliness.Particularly during a season that’s supposed to be all about love, I think about all the ways that can look-specifically, how we reach out and connect. As I’ve sent more random voice messages to loved ones, it’s become obvious how much I was longing for this point of connection with them. _____38_____There’s a level of closeness that comes with this kind of listening.
____39____ It allows you to take your time and speak without the pressure of an immediate response. You can fill it with laughter, pauses, and tone that a text message can’t convey. It’s a small act of presence, a way to say, “I’m thinking of you, and I want to connect in a way that feels human.”
In a world where so much of our communication is quick, instrumental, and screen-based, voice messages are a rebellion (反抗). They’re a choice to be unpolished, to be real, and to invest time in someone else. ____40____ It’s just a friend’s “hi” in your pocket, waiting for you to hit play.
A. In fact, I’m a late adopter of voice messaging.
B. I find comfort in their voices even if I can’t see their faces.
C. It was the first voice message I remember clicking play on.
D. When we reach out, we can better understand others’ difficulties.
E. Sometimes, connection doesn’t have to be grand to be meaningful.
F. I think better in writing, I’d tell myself, holding on to my text messages.
G. A voice message is a conscious choice for thoughtful, heartfelt connection.

The iron gates of Sunshine Nursing Home got opened as 16-year-old Tim stepped inside, his sneakers stepping on the autumn leaves on the ground. The hall was filled with the smell of air freshener. Elderly residents sat nodding in wheelchairs or played chess with trembling hands, lost in their own world.
His volunteering here was part of his school’s community service requirement. Tim had always been unwilling to come. At home, he often avoided his grandparents, thinking they were outdated and boring, unable to catch up with the fast-paced modern life. He regarded this activity as a tiresome duty and planned to just go through the motions.
Every Saturday, Tim was assigned to assist Mr. Johnson in the woodworking room and read newspapers to Mrs. Clark. At first, he did his work absent-mindedly, eager to finish early and leave. But as time went by, things began to change.
Mr. Johnson, a 78-year-old craftsman with rough but gentle hands, taught Tim to carve wood patiently. “Wood remembers every mistake. It never lies. You have to feel it with your heart,” he said with a warm smile, guiding Tim’s hands to sand the board. His eyes sparkled with passion for life despite his old age.
Mrs. Clark, who loved music, would hum old songs while Tim read to her. Her voice was soft but full of vitality. She shared stories of her youth, full of courage and optimism, which deeply touched Tim.
Gradually, Tim no longer saw the elders as boring or outdated. Instead, he was impressed by their love for life, their kindness and their positive attitude. He began to reflect on what he could do to bring warmth and convenience to their lives.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；

Determined to help the elderly embrace modern life, Tim came up with an idea.
