Like many cities across the United States, Portland, Oregon faces a homelessness crisis. According to the city’s 2023 Point-in-Time Count, overall homelessness in Portland increased by 65% from 2015 to 2023, with people living unsheltered in the streets jumping to an estimated 6,297 individuals, compared to 1,887 eight years before. This mounting problem requires plenty of creative solutions. Waste management workers with Ground Score Association (GSA) have found that solution through trash.
GSA is a Portland nonprofit created by—and for—people who are experiencing or have experienced homelessness. The group is fiscally supported by Trash For Peace and manages an association of recyclers, waste pickers, and other environmental workers who create and fill waste management jobs in the city.
The initiative hires people with a history of homelessness to pick up waste alongside designated routes, provide tent-side trash collection to people living outside, and more. Workers are paid between $20 and $29 per hour by the City of Portland, Multnomah County, and the Lloyd Enhanced Services District. Despite approaching budget cuts across the city, officials say the initiative is valuable.
Katie Lindsay, a program analyst for Portland who oversees GSA’s contract, stated, “You’re going to get significant outcomes for the lowest of dollars. There are increasingly shrinking resources in an unending vat of need. This goes so far. Why wouldn’t you fund it ”
According to GSA’s website, the program has directly hired 55 members of the community, over 95% of whom were formerly or currently are houseless. Since having started working for GSA, over 70% of those workers have become housed.
Co-founded by Barbra Weber, GSA came into existence when she was living in a tent encampment a few years back. Many of her neighbors earned cash from collecting cans and bottles, but she knew they needed more funding and organization to really see a difference.
Now, GSA not only has a contract with the city, but it also provides supportive social benefits for its employees, like healthcare, mental health services, and acquiring housing and legal identification.
24．What do the figures in paragraph 1 indicate
A．Fewer people are living unsheltered.
B．The homelessness crisis has worsened.
C．Homelessness in Portland has decreased.
D．The city has solved its homelessness problem.
25．What does the underlined part “fiscally” mean in paragraph 2
A．Mentally. B．Physically. C．Technically. D．Financially.
26．What might motivate Barbra Weber to be involved in GSA
A．Her experience of being homeless.
B．Her interest in waste management.
C．Her background in social services.
D．Her desire to become a city official.
27．Which of the following can best describe GSA
A．Small and limited. B．Profitable and competitive.
C．Innovative and supportive. D．Traditional and bureaucratic.
A good night’s sleep does more than just help you feel rested — it might literally clear your mind. A new study shows how deep sleep may wash away waste build-up in the brain during waking hours, an essential process for maintaining brain health.
Scientists have known that the brain has a built-in waste removal system, called the glymphatic (胶质淋巴的) system, which circulates fluid in the brain and spinal cord to clear out waste. This process helps remove poisonous proteins that form sticky plaques (斑块) linked to neurological disorders. However, what drives this system has remained unclear, until now.
Danish scientists found that a molecule called norepinephrine (去甲肾上腺素) plays a key role in the brain’s cleaning in mice. During deep sleep, the brainstem releases tiny waves of norepinephrine about once every 50 seconds. Norepinephrine causes blood vessels (血管) to contract, generating slow pulsations that create a rhythmic flow in the surrounding fluid to carry waste away.
“It’s like turning on the dishwasher before you go to bed and waking up with a clean brain,” says senior author Maiken Nedergaard of the University of Copenhagen. “We’re essentially asking what drives this process and trying to define restorative sleep based on glymphatic clearance.”
To find clues, Nedergaard and her team looked into what happens in mice when the brain sleeps. Specifically, they focused on the relationship between norepinephrine and blood flow during deep slumber. They found that norepinephrine waves relate to variations in brain blood volume, suggesting norepinephrine causes a rhythmic pulsation in the blood vessels.
Researchers have observed similar norepinephrine waves, blood flow patterns, and brain fluid flux in humans. Their findings may offer insights into how poor sleep may contribute to neurological disorders like Alzheimer’s disease.
“Now that we know norepinephrine is driving the cleaning of the brain, we may figure out how to get people a long and restorative sleep,” says Nedergaard.
28．What is the function of the glymphatic system
A．To regulate blood flow. B．To clear brain waste.
C．To control brain volume. D．To release norepinephrine.
29．How did Nedergaard state the process of brain cleaning
A．By analyzing data. B．By citing prior study.
C．By asking questions. D．By making a comparison.
30．What is paragraph 5 mainly about
A．Blood volume variations.
B．Norepinephrine waves’ discovery.
C．The research process and findings.
D．The importance of sleep for the brain.
31．What will researchers do next
A．Figure out how to improve sleep quality.
B．Study the role of norepinephrine in humans.
C．Identify the causes of neurological disorders.
D．Explore the link between sleep and brain health.
A team of marine scientists from the University of Sydney has published the first peer-reviewed study documenting the shocking coral bleaching (白化) events that occurred on the southern Great Barrier Reef in early 2024.
Led by Professor Maria Byrne from the School of Life and Environmental Sciences, the research highlights the alarming impact of unprecedented marine heatwaves on coral ecosystems, raising urgent concerns for marine biodiversity and the communities that depend on these vital ecosystems.
The study provides critical insights into the extent of coral bleaching and mortality (死亡率) during the 2023-2024 global marine heatwave. The research team carefully tracked the health of 462 coral colonies at the University of Sydney’s Great Barrier Reef research station at One Tree Island over a period of 161 days.
The results revealed that 66 percent of the colonies were bleached by February 2024 and 80 per cent by April. By July, 44 percent of the bleached colonies had died, with some coral genera, such as Acropora, experiencing a shocking 95 percent mortality rate.
“This research is a wake-up call for policymakers and conservationists. The resilience (恢复力) of coral reefs is being tested like never before, and we must prioritise strategies that enhance their ability to withstand climate change. Our findings underscore the need for immediate and effective management interventions to safeguard these ecosystems,” said Byrne.
The research also highlights the complex interplay between heat stress, disease onset and coral mortality. Notably, Goniopora corals developed black band disease, contributing to the high mortality rates observed. The study emphasises that the rapid onset of bleaching and disease in corals previously considered resilient poses significant challenges for predicting the future composition of coral reef ecosystems in a warming world.
The implications of this research extend beyond the ecology and conservation. Coral reefs offer essential services to human communities, including fisheries, tourism, and coastal protection. As the Great Barrier Reef faces increasing threats from climate change, the study calls for a collaborative approach to conservation that involves local communities, scientists, and policymakers.
32．How may marine scientists react to the result of the research
A．Alarmed. B．Surprised. C．Indifferent. D．Disappointed.
33．What did Byrne want to convey in paragraph 5
A．The need for more research on coral bleaching.
B．The importance of coral reefs for marine biodiversity.
C．The urgency for immediate management interventions.
D．The resilience of coral reefs in the face of climate change.
34．What does the research suggest about the future of coral reefs
A．They will recover quickly.
B．Their fate will count on human protection.
C．They will be free from climate change.
D．They will benefit from human activities.
35．What can be the best title for the text
A．The Beauty of the Great Barrier Reef
B．Strategies for Coral Reef Conservation
C．A New Method for Studying Coral Bleaching
D．Cycle of Coral Bleaching at Dangerous levels
We all know someone whose presence just seems to light up a room. Somehow, they always leave a lasting impression that makes everyone think that they’re a standout person! 36 Here’s a look at some behaviors that lead to a good reputation.
37 You’ve got friends who are always there when you call for help, whether it’s moving a couch or planning a surprise party. These are the kind of people you remember fondly for their eagerness to step in without hesitation. They’re the first to volunteer and the last to leave. Why Because they want to make sure everyone around them is okay before they think of themselves.
They keep their promises. 38 That’s why those who make a habit of keeping their promises are such reliable pillars (支柱) in any community or group. People rely on them because they match their words with actions consistently, whether it’s for a small task or a major commitment. You can always count on them to follow through!
They’re authentic. Genuine people are like a breath of fresh air. 39 You always know where you stand with them, and that’s a comfortable place to be! Their authenticity encourages others to let their guard down and be real, too. Eventually, this creates more meaningful relationships that are far more satisfying.
They’re quick to admit mistakes. Nothing says “humble” and “honest” more than admitting when you’re wrong. It’s refreshing to meet someone who can own their slip-ups without making excuses. It shows great maturity. Plus, such openness often encourages other people to be just as forthcoming. It creates an environment of transparency and forgiveness that benefits everyone. 40
A．They’re eager to lend a hand.
B．But what exactly are they doing right
C．Trust is hard to earn and easy to lose.
D．Do you want to be a respectable person
E．They turn to others for help when in trouble.

Gayle Nicholls had been a middle school math teacher for over 30 years. His career was like a long and winding road filled with challenges and joys. In the early years, he struggled to make math interesting to students who often found it boring. But he never gave up. He used colorful charts, fun games, and real-life examples to explain complex problems. Over time, he became a beloved figure in the school. His classroom was always filled with laughter and the sound of eager students asking questions.
One of the most memorable moments was when he helped a shy student named Emily overcome her fear of math. Emily used to tremble whenever she had to solve a problem on the blackboard. But Gayle was patient. He encouraged her step by step. One day, when Emily finally solved a difficult problem correctly, the whole class cheered. From that day on, Emily became more confident, and she even started helping other students. Gayle felt a deep sense of pride and fulfillment.
Today was different. It was Gayle’s last day before retirement. As he walked into the classroom, he felt a mix of emotions. The familiar desks, the chalkboard, and the smiling faces of his students all seemed to be saying goodbye. He took a deep breath and began the lesson as usual, but his heart was heavy. He knew he would miss the daily interactions with his students and the excitement of seeing them learn and grow.
As the class went on, Gayle could feel the students’ attention more focused than ever. They seemed to sense that this was a special day. He finished the last problem on the board and turned to the class. “Well, that’s it for today. And for me, it’s the end of a long journey. I just want to say how much I’ve enjoyed teaching you all. You’ve made these years truly memorable.”

M: Nature and technology often seem to work against each other. It cannot be denied that the rise of modern technology has often come at the cost of the natural world.

M: Nature and technology often seem to work against each other. It cannot be denied that the rise of modern technology has often come at the cost of the natural world. However, it’s sometimes possible for the two sides to exist in harmony. Actually, many of the world’s greatest inventions have been inspired by nature. For example, the Wright brothers, American aircraft engineers, took inspiration from the flight of birds, while underwater sound wave technology was inspired by the way whales and dolphins communicate. Meanwhile, robotics engineers often draw inspiration from the animal kingdom to create robots that can deal with challenging environments. It’s not just animals that have inspired useful inventions. The University of Hong Kong developed a tiny, energy-efficient machine. It was inspired by the design of tree seeds. Other plant-inspired inventions include green plastic and life-saving medicine. Like many people, I feel it’s time for technology to “return the favor” now. That is why I’m currently studying to become an environmental engineer. My dream is one day to create an invention that will significantly help deal with climate change.

【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述的是天琴这一传统乐器的复兴及其在现代社会中的传承与发展。
【解析】56．考查定语从句。句意：天琴，最初由壮族人作为祈福歌曲的伴奏仪式乐器，现在正在经历复兴，音乐家们正在努力吸引年轻听众。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词The tianqin是乐器，因此空格处用which，故填which。
57．考查不定式。句意：天琴，最初由壮族人作为祈福歌曲的伴奏仪式乐器，现在正在经历复兴，音乐家们正在努力吸引年轻听众。make efforts to do sth.是固定短语，意为“努力做某事”，因此空格处用不定式to attract。故填to attract。
58．考查时态，被动语态和主谓一致。句意：从那时起，许多人在保护和复兴这一艺术瑰宝方面取得了巨大的成就，比如教育工作者将天琴表演引入中小学课堂，艺术学院提高天琴表演的艺术性，基层传承人将天琴表演的原创性传给下一代。由since可知，句子时态用现在完成时，成就是被取得，因此空格处用现在完成时的被动语态，主语achievements是复数，因此空格处是have been made。故填have been made。
59．考查连词。句意：从那时起，许多人在保护和复兴这一艺术瑰宝方面取得了巨大的成就，比如教育工作者将天琴表演引入中小学课堂，艺术学院提高天琴表演的艺术性，基层传承人将天琴表演的原创性传给下一代。art colleges improving its artistic delivery和grassroots inheritors passing down authentic tianqin performances之间是并列关系，句子是肯定句，因此用and表并列，故填and。
60．考查定冠词。句意：从那时起，许多人在保护和复兴这一艺术瑰宝方面取得了巨大的成就，比如教育工作者将天琴表演引入中小学课堂，艺术学院提高天琴表演的艺术性，基层传承人将天琴表演的原创性传给下一代。空格处用定冠词the特指下一代，故填the。
61．考查形容词。句意：名为“叮叮”的乐队是最新的例子。根据语境可知，句子表示“名为“叮叮”的乐队是最新的例子”，空格处意为“最新的”，是latest，作定语。故填latest。
62．考查名词。句意：他们住在同一个小县城，出于对音乐的共同热情，他们去年组成了乐队。common是形容词，修饰名词，此处表示“出于对音乐的共同热情”，空格处意为“热情”，名词是enthusiasm，是不可数名词，作宾语。故填enthusiasm。
63．考查动名词。句意：他们每周聚会两次，在景区公开表演，因为当地政府正试图通过将传统乐器与旅游业结合起来来推广这种乐器。by是介词，其后跟动名词作宾语。故填combining。
64．考查副词。句意：传统上，除了仪式之外，壮族人还会边弹天琴边唱山歌。空格处用副词traditionally作状语，修饰整句话，traditionally意为“传统上”，位于句首的单词首字母大写，故填Traditionally。
65．考查非谓语动词。句意：山歌是壮族文化遗产的另一个方面，也是广西的魅力所在。山歌在户外演唱，歌词即兴创作或口头相传。此处是with复合结构，lyrics和pass之间是逻辑动宾关系，因此空格处用过去分词表被动，作宾语补足语。故填passed。
