Finland’s system for returning drink containers started in the 1950s, and today almost every bottle and can is
recycled. Convenience is the cornerstone of the system’s success.
Nowadays there are almost 5,000 container-return machines across Finland. Most of them are located in the
same shops that sell drinks, making returning them a convenient part of people’s routine. Hotels, restaurants,
offices, schools and event organizers return containers through their drink providers.
The return machines are easy to use. You place a bottle or can on a set of mini conveyor belts at the front of
the machine. They carry it past a scanner and out of sight. The machine sorts the bottles and crushes the cans. When
you’re done, you press a button and the machine gives you a receipt. Plastic bottles are worth 20 to 40 cents,
depending on their size, while glass bottles are worth 10 to 40 cents and aluminium(铝) cans are 15 cents. The
returned containers are recycled or the materials are reused. Across Finland, on average, every Finn returns 373
items in a year: 251 aluminium cans, 98 plastic bottles and 24 glass bottles.
The government has entrusted this function to the private agency. “Palpa is completely nonprofit and receives
no government funding,” says Tommi Vihavainen, Palpa’s director of producer services, ICT and communication.
Russia, the UK and other countries have shown interest in the Finnish system. “Most visitors want to see how
the return system works in Finland,” says Vihavainen. “We don’t act as consultants, but we’re proud to present our
system.”
24. What do we know about Finland’s system for returning drink containers?
A. It still has a long way to develop.
B. It gains popularity for its convenience.
C. It used to be fashionable but now out-dated.
D. It’s supported financially by the government.
25. Why does the writer use the figures in paragraph 3?
A. To show Finns consume various drinks.
B. To help make the story more interesting.
C. To make the impact of the system convincing.
D. To guarantee the proper logic of the passage.
26. What’s Vihavainen’s attitude towards the return system?
A. Indifferent. B. Positive. C. Pessimistic. D. Dismissive.
27. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Finland’s recycling programme keeps bottles off streets.
B. The return machines in the world are popular and easy.
C. Palpa—a complete nonprofit to recycle the bottles.
D. Finland—a country free of waste such as bottles.
C
July was the world’s hottest month on record. Wildfires this summer destroyed a Hawaiian city and caused
excuations(疏散 ) in Canada. Greece, and Thailand. Floods devastated towns in Vermont in July and killed
thousands of Libyans in September.
John Vaillant’s new book Fire Weather aims to shake us out of this with a tale of terror from a climate change
frontline: the city of Fort McMurray, in northern Canada’s vast forest, where an uncontrollable wildfire during an
exceptionally warm spring in 2016 flooded entire communities within days.
Vaillant tells his story at disaster-movie pace, starting with the glimpse of smoke on the horizon and
assurances from the authorities that all will be fine. Mounting misfortune follows as the flames lick golf courses on
the city’s edge. By the end, 90, 00 people had been evacuated, 2,500 structures destroyed, another 500 damaged.
The energy generated by the fire created its own weather system, with hurricane force winds and lightning strikes.
What attracts me most is the book’s central irony. The story takes place in Fort McMurrary, which is the
industrial centre of northern Alberta’s tar sands, one of the world’s largest fossil fuel deposits. It is a city whose
existence depends on the hydrocarbons whose burning caused climate change; but whose existence almost ended in
a climate-caused burning.
Fire Weather isn’t a typical disaster book. Vaillant’s references to Nassim Taleb, Lucretius, Seamus Heaney,
The Lord of the Rings, Xerxes, and Moby-Dick can grant. But Vaillant’s theme is also catching my eyes. Our
industrial world is releasing carbon at a rate 10 times faster than scientists can find in the geological record for the
past 250mn years, he writes. “Thanks to fire and our appetite for boundless energy, we have evolved into a geologic
event that will be measurable a million years from now.”
28. What’s the purpose of mentioning the examples in paragraph 1?
A. To show the varieties of nature disasters.
B. To engage the readers in the same topic.
C. To indicate the difficulties of these areas.
D. To provide the background of the book.
29. What’s special about the book according to this passage?
A. Plot and viewpoint. B. Character and conflict.
C. Setting and theme. D. Tone and style.
30. What does the underlined word “grant” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Be presented. B. Be refused. C. Be preserved. D. Be recorded.
31. Where as the text most probably taken from?
A. An essay on the climate change.
B. A guidebook to Fort McMurrary.
C. A review of world disasters.
D. An introduction to a book.
D
The past few months have brought electrifying news that, for the first time, a gene treatment has provided
some hearing to children born with deafness.
Eli Lilly announced this week, for example, that a profoundly deaf boy from Morocco given its treatment as
part of a clinical trial in Philadelphia can now hear. And five children in China treated similarly at younger ages
gained hearing with some able to verbally communicate without their cochlear implants(人工耳蜗). Their hearing
recovery, first covered by the press in October 2023, is described in de tail this week in The Lancet.
“It’s an enormous achievement,” says geneticist Karen Avraham of Tel Aviv University. Otolaryngologist(耳
鼻喉科专家) and gene therapist Lawrence Lustig of Columbia University, whose lab was among the first to test the
same approach in mice, agrees. “Other than cochlear implants, we haven’t really had any successful treatment s to
treat deafness,” he notes.
The various efforts from companies and academic centers each use a virus to insert the same gene, OTOF, into
the children’s inner ear so the so-called hair cells there can sense sound and transmit it to the brain.
The new deafness treatments add to a string of recent successes for the gene treatment field, but also raise
questions. The ear’s hair cells don’t divide, so the new copies of OTOF they contain should persist and continue to
instruct the cells to make OTOF. Gene expression could drop off over time or the ear could mount an immune
response that shuts it off.
But Lustig is optimistic that the various challenges will be overcome. “Now that we’ve got one success story,
there’s going to be more money coming in to fund some of these other projects,” he says.
32. What do we know about the new treatment?
A. It is a totally mature practice. B. It’s a China-only clinical trial.
C. It uses a virus to sense sound. D. It aims to treat the deafness.
33. Which of the following best describes the impact of the treatment?
A. Breakthrough. B. Regret. C. Disappointment. D. Adventure.
34. What is the problem of the gene treatment?
A. The brain refuses to receive it.
B. Gene stops to produce hair cells.
C. Gene expression might be weakened.
D. Companies really profit a lot from it.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Electrifying News Based on Some Clinical Trials
B. Gene Treatment That Brings Deaf Children Hope
C. Ways How Scientists Develop Cochlear Implants
D. Challenges About the New Deafness Treatment

Plogging is a great way to make your little area of the world a little cleaner, brighter, and safer while boosting
your own health, fitness, and mood. This up and coming environmental activity began in Sweden in 2016.
36 . It is quite a common scene across other European countries, as well as the United States, Mexico, and other
areas.
Definition of plogging
37 . It is a term made by combining “jogging” with “plocka upp,” which is Swedish for “pick up.”
Therefore, the plogging definition is an emerging fitness that involves picking up litter or trash while you run.
Benefits of plogging
Because plogging typically involves jogging or running, there are many health benefits to this eco-friendly
fitness trend. However, the benefits extend beyond just improving heart health. 38 . First, it improves mood
and makes you feel good about yourself. What’s more, it gives back to your community and connects you online
and builds social connections with other ploggers.
How to get started
Before you start, you’ll need to outfit yourself with the right gear to get the job done. If you’re already running
or jogging, you should have a good pair of running shoes and running apparel(装备). 39 . Otherwise, broken
glass and sharp and dirty litter items you may pick up will hurt you. A trash bag of some sort for collecting what
you pick up is a must as well.
40
Theoretically, you can go plogging almost anywhere you have permission to be. Depending on where you live,
you may encounter trash along the side of the roads, parks, school playgrounds, trails, parking lots, town squares
and bike paths.
A. How to do plogging
B. Where to go plogging
C. It has since spread around the world
D. Here are some of the top benefits of plogging
E. It’s important that you have the right footwear

It is a beautiful drone(无人机) shot, 56 popular kind of video you might see in a travel video.
However, there is no drone 57 camera, and you needn’t travel in person because the video was generated
by AI, which is from a new tool programmed by Open AI called Sora.
It’s not perfect, but it’s a large step up from what we’ve seen before. What most people don’t know is 58
Sora can do more than just create videos from scratch. It can combine separate videos into one scene. And its
videos can be up 59 a minute long and in 1080p resolution.
60 (compare) with Runway ML, the difference with Sora is that it’s coherent. Previous system have a
61 (character) morphing(图像渐变) quality as the video 62 (program). With Sora, that’s vastly reduced
or gone altogether. The 63 (object) remain stable even when covered by things in the foreground. We’ve
seen something similar to this in research since 2019, but what is new is the ability 64 (combine) two videos
together in one scene. It can also make up different camera angles of a single scene with just one prompt.
Sora, like digital audio workstation 65 (envelop) recording studios several years ago, must be a trend
soon.

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 had been a challenging week, marked by a sudden large increase in oil prices coinciding with a sharp drop in
temperatures in Boston. It was nearly below zero degree. With three missed workdays under my belt, my upcoming
paycheck was going to be lower than normal. The stress weighed heavily on me as I carefully sought for every
conceivable opportunity to save pennies, ensuring that I could afford both groceries and keep the house warm.
My eight-year-old son didn’t understand when I told him we were struggling that week. He had his heart set
on a particular brand of yogurt, but I didn’t have the extra three dollars to buy it for him. It was the kind of yogurt
decorated with a cartoon child skateboarding on its packaging, containing a mere two spoonfuls per cup. Such
products, designed to lure children with their flashy marketing, only served to make me hate advertising.
However, a bunch of parental guilt gripped me as his innocent eyes met mine, silently questioning, “Why is
yogurt such a big deal?” Determned to sweep his disappointment, I made a sacrifice typical of single mothers. I
returned an item needed to the shelf, ensuring that he could enjoy his favorite yogurt.
On the journey back from the grocery store, a sight caught my attention—a homeless man, holding a sign by
the roadside. My heart ached, and I turned around, observing passers-by purposefully steer(绕开) clear of him,
avoiding any meaningful interaction. Even my son didn’t seem to care much. either. Yet, upon closer inspection, I
noticed the man—bare hands grasping a piece of cardboard, snot frozen to his face, a worn-out jacket. And there I
was struggling because I had to buy oil and groceries. But I decided to help. I pulled over to the man and handed
him a five-dollar bill.
注意：
（1）续写词数应为 150 左右；

第一段 He stared at me with curious eyes, trying to piece together why we could afford to help someone else when
we ourselves were in a tight spot. I took the moment to explain that even when life feels overwhelming, we can
always find something to offer to others. “Sometimes, it’s not just about having enough, but about sharing what
we do have,” I said, hoping to ins till a sense of compassion and generosity in him. My words seemed to resonate
with him as he nodded thoughtfully, a spark of understanding lighting up his face.
第二段 Just before we were about to leave the homeless man, he impulsively took out the newly bought yogurt
from the grocery bag and ran back to the man. Handing it over, he said, “I think you might be hungry.” The man’s
eyes softened, his face breaking into a grateful smile as he accepted the yogurt. Watching this, I felt a surge of pride
for my son’s unexpected gesture of kindness. It was a poignant reminder that true generosity comes from a willing
heart, not from the abundance of what we have.
