When Ar'reiona Green was accepted to Sacramento State last year, she knew she would need booksand school supplies. She didn't expect to need a toolbox. Or hangers. Or that her dorm room wouldn't come with a fan. Having grown up in the foster （寄养）system, she found life as a college student mostly mysterious.

That's where Dec My Dorm stepped in. The program works with more than 140 foster youth headed to college, hosting an annual event in July to kit out each student with sheet sets, pillows and connections to other people in the same situation.

Green took part in the summer of 2024, leaving with several bags filled with the things she needed, including many items she didn't know she would need, like dish soap.

The program started in 2018 when Jill Franklin, manager of the Independent Living Program in Los Angeles County, met a student who came from the foster system. This young student described arriving at the University of California at Berkeley with just a trash bag, not knowing that dorm rooms are spartan: a desk, a chair, a bed with an oddly sized mattress一and that's it.

Franklin started with a small Amazon wishlist and a handfol of students. It was particularly important that the kids were involved in the process as much as possible, she said, because they were used to living in spaces that were not their own. If they could pick their own bedding and their own blankets, they would create a room that said, “This is who I am.”

In 2022, she met Phyllis Shinbane from Connecting a Caring Community. Shinbane had been unaware that foster youth often have nothing they can bring with them to college, but realized this was a need she could help fill. Together, they raised more than $40,000 in donations in 2025.

"It's just leveling the playing field,“ said Shinbane. "It's just putting them in a room where they‘re not different, and where their past doesn't define them.”

24.What does Dec My Dorm provide for fosteryouth?

A.Campustours.B. Yearlyscholarships.

C.Room supplies.D. Academicguidance.

25.What does the underlined word “spartan“ in Paragraph 4mean?

A.Plainand basic.B. Modem and stylish.

C. Smalland crowded.D. Warm andpersonal.

26.Why were foster students encouraged to choose their ownitems?

A.To improve theirlife skills.B. To keep dorm rooms inorder.

C. To make better use of donations.D. To give them a sense ofidentity.

27.What does Shinbane emphasize about theprogram?

A.It gives students afair start.B. It makes dorm life morefon.

C. It helps buildlasting friendships.D. It enables students to erasethepast.

“What suburbia cries for are the means for people to gather easily, inexpensively, regularly, and pleasurably -a 'place on the comer.“'

With these words, American sociologist Ray Oldenburg captured the need for accessible and enjoyable social spaces. In his 1989 book The Great Good Place, he introduced the term “third place“ as a way of describing “public places on neutral ground where people can gather and interact.Unlike the home or work setting, these environments-from ancient public squares to today's cafes-have long been essential hubs （

中心）of connection, fostering a sense of belonging, lively interaction, and community spirit.

However, the 21st century has witnessed a sharp decline in third places. Across England and Wales, more than one pub closed each day in 2024. Even where third places still exist, they are increasingly becoming what sociologist Marc Auge described as “non-places”-spaces dominated by consumerism. In these settings, people are no longer unique individuals but customers. When socialising comes with a high price tag, it is no surprise that people are opting to stay in and communal spaces are starting to disappear.

Modem living is reshaping the way social spaces operate. As society moves from a culture centred around socialising to one consumed by productivity, even pubs have adapted-some now serving as remote workspaces where laptops are welcomed.

Still, there is hope. Cities are rethinking their design through thoughtful and inclusive urban planning. "Whether it's a simple bench on a high street or a large-scale pavilion （公共活动亭）,we involve local groups, especially young people, in the design process/5 says Akmaral Alexander, an architect from POoR Collective. "This approach not only gives people a sense of ownership but also shapes ordinary spaces in meaningfol ways, enriching daily lives and strengthening communities.,5

28.Which of the following might be an example of thirdplaces?

A.Privategardens.B. Youth centres.

C.Online classrooms.D. Government, offices.

29.Why are third places increasingly becoming“non-places”?

A.Rules there havebecomestricter.B. Events there have become formal.

C. Design there hasbecomeoutdated.D. Socialising there has becomecostly.

30.What is Akmaral Alexander's approach to urbanplanning?

A.Seekingcommunity input.B. Expanding publicfacilities.

C. Favoring safetyoverspeed.D. Balancing form and fonction.

31.What can be a suitable title for thetext?

A.Nowhere to Go: The Disappearing ThirdPlace

B.The Great Good Place'. Oldenburg's ThirdPlace

C.Beyond Home and Work: The Benefits of ThirdPlaces

D.Third Places: What Are They and Where to FindThem

Our oceans are full of sophisticated （精密的），perfect traps: nets, hooks, fishing lines. Designed to capture animals destined for our dinner tables, they often catch other wildlife too. This accidental harvest is known as bycatch, and every year it kills millions of marine animals. It is also a dilemma for fishermen, since trapped creatures can damage equipment, costing time and money.

“There are not very many conservation issues where conservationists, consumers, fishermen and resource users all want the same thing/5 says marine biologist Matthew Savoca. "Everyone involved wants less bycatch.”

Some bycatch prevention methods have already shown promise in field trials. A study in northern Peru's Sechura Bay, for example, showed a turtle bycatch reduction of more than 60% thanks to LED- illuminated（照明）nets.Anotherapproachispingers-devicesattachedtofishinggearthatemitsoundsto warm echolocating animals away. In three Norwegian fisheries, pingers reduced bycatch of harbor porpoise by 94%.

But these solutions have yet to be implemented on a large scale. The devices can be expensive, and the methods are not without downsides. LED lights may reduce target fish catch. Pingers are also linked with an increase in bycatch of seals, which seem to associate the sound with a potential meal.

A low-tech approach may help small-scale fisheries reduce the bycatch of echolocating animals: fixing plastic water bottles to their nets. Detecting thin, fine nets is difficult for echolocators Hke dolphins, but water bottles are a more easily detectable obstacle that could help them avoid the nets.

For a solution to work, policies and regulations need to be in place and enforced. Just as important, preventive measures need to be practical for fishermen and not add extra time and money to do the job. As marine sustainability scientist Lekelia Jenkins says, the smaller the change, the more likely fishermen are to adopt it.

The human side of the issue also needs to be acknowledged. "Emotionally, fishermen around the world are beat up and beat down,“ Jenkins says. "We say, 'You're the problem. You're catching sea turtles and whales.,,5 She suggests that fishermen should be empowered and included in the discussions and development ofsolutions.

32.Why does Matthew Savoca list different groups ofpeople?

A.To examine their different roles inbycatch.

B.To stress their shared wish to reducebycatch.

C.To explain why bycatch prevention takestime.

D.To show how widely bycatch isunderestimated.

33.What makes LED lights a less attractivesolution?

A.Bringing up trainingcosts.

C. Leading to a smaller desired catch.

B. Attracting seals to fishing boats.

D. Making fishing nets harder to handle.

34.How do plastic bottles help reduce dolphinbycatch?

A.By helping the nets floatbetter.

C. By helping dolphins sense the danger.

35.What does Jenkins imply aboutfishermen?

A.They are to blame for bycatch.

C. They prefer simple fishing methods.

B.By marking the nets forfishermen.

D. By blocking dolphins' swimming path.

B. They deserve a voice in decisions.

D. They should leave solutions to experts.

How to Deal with a Social Loafer

A “social loafer,5 is someoneinagroupwhoputslesseffortintoasharedtaskthanexpected. 36 When you spot a social loafer, what can youdo?

•Understand “deindividuation”

“Deindividuation“ refers to a loss of self-awareness and accountability in a group.37 In

the bystander effect, for instance, the presence of many people may weaken one's sense of responsibility. Smailer-scale examples could include situations in friendship groups where someone may not step up to group tasks. Understanding “deindividuation“ helps you recognise the psychological state behind a social loafer's behaviour.

•38

Researchers have established that there are two factors that drive an individual's motivation: the individual's expectations about achieving the goal and the perceived value of the goal. With this in mind, if there's someone in your life who tends towards social loafing, highlighting the goal of what you want to achieve together could be a way of getting through to them.

•Set the tone.

39 If someone feels5 as though others in the group are loafing, they will also lower their

effort to match. So keeping the enthusiasm up, and demonstrating your own commitment to achieving theshared goal, could be the key to motivating your social loafer.

•Be honest about how it's impactingyou.

If someone's loafing is affecting you, ifs always worth taking the time to be honest about how you're feeling.40 So, use this as a reminder to tune in to one another, reconnect, and get honest about

what you need. When we're all putting in effort, the load gets a lot lighter for everyone.

A.Our energy isinfectious.

B.Help them findmotivation.

C.Make clear rules foreveryone.

D.They may have differentstrengths.

E.This might occur in larger groupsettings.

F.Even those who work hard on their own may behave thisway.

G.After all, this behaviour often comes from a sense ofdisconnection.

第二节（满分25分）

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。

I worked for the Creekside Fire Department （CFD） in the town of Willow Creek, Missouri. One day,while we firefighters were tearing down an old warehouse, we found something interesting. It was red, but a faded, sorry sort of red. At first, we took it for a circus wagon. Then we noticed the faded letters on the side: CFD.

So we brought it down to the fire station. After studying it for a while, our fire chief, Bud, had an idea. “Ward Paterson might be able to tell us something about it. He used to be a good mechanic here." Then I took a dozen photos of the wagon, printed them, and headed to the old Paterson place. When I arrived, I found Ward Paterson working in his bam. He was old-older than my grandfather.

"It's a pumper （消防水泵车）！'' he told me as we sat on his front porch, looking at my pictures. A faraway look came into his eyes. "The CFD bought this pumper 80 years ago. On the day it was delivered, a crowd gathered at the train station to watch the fire crew unload it. It was shiny red with bright brass trimmings （黄铜配件）.The men pulled it from the train station to the new fire station.^^

“The men pulled it? Didn't they have horses to pull the thing?” I was amazed. Ward smiled. "Most of the time, it was pulled by manpower. It5s a real old-timer. For years, it was rushed to fires and helped protect people's homes and lives. But the town was growing and needed something better. Eventually, the pumper was retired.”

After a pause, I asked whether he could fix it and promised I would help. Ward thought for a moment and said, “I want to see it the way it was when it first came to Willow Creek." His words stirred something in me: perhaps the whole town should see the pumper again. A motion picture formed in my head-the pumper,shiny and new, rolling down Main Street in the annual parade（游行）.

注意： 

L写作词数应为150个左右；

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

But restoring an 80-year-old pumper -was never going to be easy.

On the Parade Day, I took my place beside the shiny pumper, ready to pull.
