As a boy, John Kerr wanted to be a fireman or a park ranger. Looking back on that childhood fantasy,he says,“I think it was the hat.”

Instead,he spent four decades at WGBH in Boston, one of public broadcasting's flagship stations. He retired in 2005 at the age of 65 without any particular post-career goal in mind. After several idle weeks,he decided to drive his camper to visit family in Jackson Hole,Wyoming.

En route,he casually stopped at the Yellowstone Park Foundation,which raises funds for Yellowstone, America's first national park. As it happens,the foundation was hiring people to educate park guests on wolves.Kerr signed on. After working there for several weeks, at the urging of his daughter，Kerr applied to the Student Conservation Association for an internship（实习）.

To say that Kerr stood out in the intern crowd is a massive understatement. Most interns were college and even high school students. But, in a sense, he had been primed for this since his youth. His outdoor adventures with his grandfather had given him a love of nature, and, as an adult, he had helped out at the local fire department on medical calls.

He also had something else. There are 31 million Americans between the ages of 44 and 70-some retired and looking for a third act, some looking for a more fulfilling career-searching for something where they feel as if they're making a contribution, doing something to make their neighborhood,their country,their world just a little bit better. Kerr also had that deep urge to do something more.

From his internship, he moved up to ranger, educating park visitors, making for safe encounters between guests and animals, and responding to medical emergencies.He treasures his stewardship of what he describes as one of the most beautiful places on Earth，and revels in（陶醉于）moments when he treats a visitor to an up-close look at one of the park's wolves or bears through his telescope, an occasion that can move visitors to tears.

“These are rich and all-too-rare moments,” recalls Kerr.“I never forget them.”

24.What do we know about John Kerr?

A.He fulfilled his childhood fantasy soon after work.

B.He knew exactly what he would do after retirement.

C. He helped greatly in raising funds for Yellowstone.

D. He joined the program in the park by accident.

25.What made John Kerr outstanding in the internship?

A. His healthy body.

C.His previous experience.

D.His professional medical knowledge.

26.Which words can best describe John Kerr?

A. Patient and humorous.

C.Hardworking and honest.

B.Caring and dedicated.

D. Active and modest.

27.What can be a suitable title for the text?

Although dairy products and cured meat have been delivered and traded for thousands of years,it is believed that proper food delivery didn't begin until 1889.

In 1889,King Umberto I and Queen Margherita traveled to Naples. Sick of the food cooked by court chefs,the Queen wanted to try something popular with the common people of southern Italy-pizza.Chef Raffaele Esposito, an excellent pizza-maker,delivered three pizzas as requesled. The Queen loved the one made with mozzarella cheese, basil, and tomatoes. Thus, the margherita pizza was born.

Later,in India,cities were getting crowded. Workers had difficulty cooking or finding suitable meals outside their homes. Therefore, dabbawalas came to meet this demand. Dabbawala means “one who carries a box,” and they carried boxes of food by bicycle or railway train to sell to workers. Delivering food as a full-time job began with the dabbawallas.

Over time,food delivery has come to be found everywhere. In America, delivery grew as cars became common in the late 20th century. Then, another invention came along and made delivery even more popular. In the 1990s,the Internet began to change what people thought about delivery.

Online delivery services began with the website World Wide Waiter in 1995. Over the next 15 years,online orders slowly caught up with phone orders. As smartphones became popular,pizza chains started to create their own apps.

Nowadays,there are many different apps available worldwide. Just by tapping your screen, you can order almost any food imaginable. If you want to earn a bit of money on the side, you can deliver food yourself. Some restaurants, known as “ghost kitchens”, only offer food through these apps.

In times of COVID-19，when quarantine（隔离）and stay-at-home orders were applied， the supply of food delivery services could hardly meet the rising demand. To cater to the customers, Uber Eats became the first to roll out the “leave at door” service so that no contact would be made during the pick-up. During this difficult time,delivery drivers, always with their masks on, were seen as heroes.

28.Which event marked the beginning of food delivery?

A. The pizza order of the royal family.

B. The invention of the margherita pizza.

C.The emergence of dabbawallas in India.

D.The spread of food delivery in America.

29.Why does the author mention “ghost kitchens” in the text?

A. To promote a food delivery app.

B.To recommend virtual restaurants.

C. To suggest the dominance of online orders.

D. To emphasize the popularity of online delivery.

30. In what way did COVID-19 affect the food delivery industry?

A.Delivery drivers became less efficient.

B.Customers were required to wear masks.

C. Contactless services started to be popular.

D. The rising demand for food delivery was met.

31. What is the main idea of the text?

A. The evolution of food delivery.

C.The role of technology in food delivery.

D

B. The history of food delivery apps.

D. The impact of COVID-19 on food delivery.

Obsessed with Kim Kardashian? Can't get enough of Bennifer getting back together? Chances are you're an idiot-at least according to Hungarian researchers.

New research has suggested people obsessed with Hollywood gossip and A-list celebs might not be that smart-which will surely be a jarring revelation for those who love tabloids（八卦小报）magazines.

The study, published in BMC Psychology late last year, claims that “there is a direct association between celebrity worship and poorer performance on cognitive tests” measuring both literacy and numeracy（计算能力）.

The study asked 1,763 Hungarian adults to undertake a 30-word vocabulary test and a math test, before completing a “Celebrity Attitude Scale" questionnaire to determine their levels of interest in famous people.

Researchers found that high scores on the Celebrity Attitude Scale correlated with lower performance on the two cognitive ability tests. Participants were also asked about their income, material wealth and levels of education in order to gain the most detailed picture possible.

However, the researchers were unable to determine whether celebrity obsessives perform poorly on cognitive tests because they used their brainpower thinking about A-listers, or whether they were obsessed with Hollywood gossip because they were alieady less intelligent to begin with.

In other words, it’s unclear whether celebrity worshiping is a cause or consequence of low cognitive function.

“Future studies should seek further support for our suggestion that the cognitive effort invested in maintaining the absorption in a favorite celebrity may interfere with the person's performance in tasks that require attention and other cognitive skills," the researchers told PsyPost in a recent interview. “Although our research does not prove that developing a powerful obsession with one's favorite celebrity causes one to score lower on cognitive tests, it suggests that it might be wise to carefully monitor feelings for them.”

While some tabloid magazine readers may feel personally attacked by this research,folks on Twitter did not seem shocked by the findings. “I don't think a study was needed to determine this,” wrote one Twitter user.“What worries me is that people who worship celebs are not going to read this article ever,”another added.

32. What do the underlined words “be a jarring revelation for” in the second paragraph mean?

A.Come as a blow to.

C.Have a negative effect on.

B.Serve as an eye-opener for.

D. Give a good laugh to.

33. What can we learn about obsession with celebrities from the research?

A.It is a sign of lower intelligence.

B.It results in poor cognitive function.

C. It has to do with levels of education.

D.It is associated with lower cognitive ability.

34.What do the researchers recommend people to do?

A. Invest more effort in attention-demanding tasks.

B. Avoid developing a powerful celebrity obsession.

C. Reduce the time spent reading tabloid magazines.

D. Seek further support to address celebrity worship.

35.How do Twitter users feel about the research?

A.They feel personally attacked by it.

C.They are skeptical about its result.

B.They are surprised at its findings.

D.They consider it not necessary.

第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

It's often said that the three most powerful words in the English language are “I love you.” But I have another three words:“I forgive you.” It is true that forgiveness doesn't have the same rush of electric charge in it that love does. However, it is no less powerful. 36 Yet it holds the key to happiness in life.

There is a tendency to blame others for our faults and difficulties. 37 I have met so many people who hold a grudge（怨恨）and it dominates their life. Lots of people blame their parents for their problems,for example. It is an excuse-an easy pass to flash when life gets tough or difficult. Actually,what you should do is forgive your parents for the mistakes they made and accept that,from now on, the ups and downs of life are your responsibility.

38 It doesn't matter that the person you are forgiving is not sorry. When you forgive someone, they lose their control over you. Your emotions are no longer in their grip, and your feelings no longer at their mercy. I think one of the reasons we are so reluctant to forgive people is that we mistakenly think it means that what has happened is no longer affecting you, or no longer matters. That's not true. 39 That's not weakness-it's what we are all striving for in life. In fact, forgiveness puts the person who is doing it in a position of incredible power.

I do a lot of work around forgiveness with my patients.“The day I decided to forgive him, I felt a weight lift off me," one of my patients said. “I realized that until I forgave him, he would always have power over me.” She showed me that forgiveness is about freeing yourself.It is a display of power-of asserting your authority and taking back control. 40

A. It sparks the same shiver of excitement.

B. Forgiveness is such an underrated virtue.

C. At the heart of forgiveness is inner peace.

D.Forgiveness doesn't actually involve the other person.

E. Forgiving someone and moving on is one of life's true joys.

F.But ultimately she found peace in forgiving him unconditionally.

G.But this negative thought actually restricts the direction of our lives.

Sometimes one plus one does equal three. When Mandekic complained to her colleague Dave how 41 it was to get students excited about math, he made a surprising suggestion:“Why not 42in something they enjoy,like sports?”

The idea of mixing basketball and mathematics got its first 43 in 2011, when they were invited to a school program for kids who'd 44 Grade 9 math.

At first,the students weren't exactly 45.So,Dave tried giving the kids techniques to improve their shooting while also helping them calculate their field-goal percentage-which,46,taught them about fractions（分数）.

At the end of the game, the winning team was 47 based on which group had the highest total percentage and had done the most 48 math. When the bell rang, they were so 49 on collecting data and figuring out which team won that they didn't leave.

“I was 50 at math,”says Duane,a Grade 9 student. “But once I realized the sport I loved was 51 to math, it made me a lot better at it.”

Almost any math problem, Mandekic and Dave realized, can be taught on the 52.They have since established a private high school. 53, it serves only boys, but Dave hopes to change that.

Last year, one of the school's first graduates 54 a university scholarship for his performance in the classroom, not on the court. “If we didn't do our work, we weren't playing at the game," he says, explaining that coaches would 55 kids who didn't keep up in class. “At Uchenna, we were student athletes, after all, not athlete students.”

If anything, the implications for education may push teachers to rethink their courses in innovative ways and give assignments that aren't 64(easy) solved by AI. That could be for the best.

More worrisome  65 (be) the effects of ChatGPT on writing scientific papers. In a recent study, abstracts created by ChatGPT were submitted to academic reviewers, who only caught 63% of these fakes. That's a lot of Al-generated text that could find its way into the literature 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。

Dusty, the Wonder Dog

When I was a kid, my godparents, Uncle Nell and Aunt Frances, brought me a four-month-old puppy. She was half German shepherd，half collie. As her pink tongue tickled（挠痒）my face with wet licks,it was love at first hug.

My family named the puppy Dusty. Although I wanted to lay sole claim to her affection,in a family of seven kids, no one lays permanent claim to the family pet.

Dusty was our dog, not “my” dog. We soon realized that she had the patience of Buddha. My baby sister often transformed Dusty's warm fur into a nap-time pillow-falling asleep on the rug. Like a protective mother, Dusty waited-without moving-until my sister woke.

Dusty doubled as a school crossing guard, too. Monday through Friday she'd walk us kids two blocks to St. Patrick's Parochial, looking both ways to check for traffic before allowing us to cross the street. We’d wave good-bye as we entered the door, knowing Dusty would be waiting at the school door to claim us at the close of the school day.

Of all the contributions Dusty made to our family, one incident stands out far and above all others. Late one night Dusty rushed to my parents' bedroom. She barked and barked. When she got no response, Dusty raced upstairs to my bedroom and my brothers' bedroom and barked again and again. When she failed to fully wake us, she flew back down the steps and retimed to my parents' room. Finally, she got Mom's attention.

“What are you doing, Dusty?” Mom snapped, still halfway in dreamland. Dusty persisted. Finally my mother gave in. “Okay, what is it?”

Dusty whined（哀嚎）and rushed out of Mom＇s room. Thinking the dog needed to be let out to relieve herself, my mother followed Dusty to the front door.

When Mom opened the door to let her out, Dusty tore across the street, not stopping to do her business as my mother had assumed. Then she discovered what Dusty already knew.

注意：1．续写词数应为150左右；

2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

The house across the street, where my best friend Marianne lived, was on fire.

However，my mother refused to take all the credit（赞扬）.
