A
A seemingly small gesture at a restaurant outside Houston that wasn't part of the job description for a Waffle House waitress has now had a big effect on her life.
It happened last weekend, when 18 year old Evoni Williams was serving an elderly man breakfast. He needed help. So Williams leaned over the table with a fork and a knife and cut up his ham for him. It might have ended there, but a customer named Laura Wolf was struck enough to take a picture and post it online.
“I didn't know the photo was taken until a couple of hours later，” Williams told the Houston Chronicle. “When I saw it, it's just something I would do for anybody. I was so busy in here, and I actually took the time to stop and hear what he had to say instead of walking past him.”
It apparently meant something to others too. As of Sunday, more than 130,000 people had reacted to the post and nearly 7,000 have shared it.But the story has extended beyond the Internet. Williams, a recent Texas City High School graduate, was honored at a ceremony, Thursday, with a $16,000 scholarship to Texas Southern University. Williams has reportedly been working full time at the Waffle House to earn money toward school. Texas Southern University has assigned a counselor to help her begin her degree and she is planning to study business management.
Media at the local, national and international level have all picked up on the story. It is a moment among several in recent years, captured in a picture, put online, and capturing the attention of the Internet: like a New York City police officer giving a homeless man a pair of boots, or a restaurant goer whose wife died of cancer anonymously (匿名地) paying for the meal of another cancer patient.

In Togo, a small West African nation located between Ghana and Benin, the price of school uniforms poses a significant barrier to girls’ education in this poverty-stricken(貧困的)land. Payton McGriff, a young American, founded the nonprofit Style Her Empowered(SHE)with the aim of enabling women through education. This initiative has brought about a remarkable innovation that is truly making a difference.
SHE, as detailed on its website, is devoted to building lasting education and job-seeking opportunities for girls from kindergarten through high school worldwide. The program made its appeared in 2017 in Notse, Togo, a place with a dismal record in girls’ education. Here, girls typically attend school for only around two to three years on average. The cost of education, especially the expensive school uniforms, combined with the common belief that women are most valuable at home, means that just a third of girls progress to junior high school.
To tackle the uniform cost barrier, SHE designed the world’s only growing school uniform. In the form of a midi-length dress, it adjusts in multiple body parts using attached strings, which can grow up to 12 inches longer and adjust six sizes in the chest, waist, and hips, allowing girls to wear it for up to three years. Moreover, SHE employs 20 seamstresses(女裁縫師)in Togo, providing them with good working conditions. Girls also receive full school scholarships, a year’s worth of school supplies, year-round tutoring, and good quality, waterproof backpacks.
The principal of Avassikpe Primary School in Togo, Komlan, acknowledges the transformative power of SHE’s support. He notes that girls now attend school much more regularly. Local elders are deeply appreciative of the opportunities that enable their daughters to imagine a better life. SHE’s website reveals that it has supported over 6,000 girls. 98 percent of whom are from rural villages, and its program has a 99.1 percent student pass rate, 40 percent higher than the 2022 national average. As we look forward, we wish the 500 new SHE-supported pupils in Togo, who have just started the new academic year, great happiness and success.
24．What does the underlined word “dismal” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Incomplete. B．Unfavorable. C．Promising. D．Stable.

C．It is made of special strings. D．It gives girls more courage.
26．What is the author’s attitude towards SHE
A．Doubtful. B．Negative. C．Supportive. D．Uncaring.
27．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A．To introduce a charity organization’s work. B．To stress the importance of school uniforms.
C．To criticize Togo’s education system. D．To encourage girls to go to school.

The history of food is deeply connected with the history of humanity. In Ways of Eating: Exploring Food through History and Culture, Benjamin Wurgaft and Merry White explore the complex ways that food has shaped and been shaped by human civilizations. This book argues food is more than just something we eat-it reflects our societies, economies and traditions.
Using stories from history and real-life examples, the authors explain how food connects basic survival needs with deeper cultural meanings. It is plainly organized, which helps readers follow food’s journey through time. Each chapter focuses on a theme, starting from the origins of agriculture to the challenges of modern industrial food systems. Short stories within chapters make history relatable. For example, a story about a Tuscan herb farmer shows how tradition conflicts with modern farming problems. This mix of big-picture history and personal tales keeps the book both educational and interesting. It covers topics like ancient crops and fast food, making sure no part of food’s story is missed.
The authors skillfully combine ideas from different fields. History, culture studies, and even environmental science work together to explain food’s role. One chapter discusses how crops like corn and potatoes spread globally after Columbus’ voyages (航行), changing diets and economies worldwide. Wurgaft and White also use famous scholars’ theories to show how food bridges nature and human culture. For instance, it links the Industrial Revolution’s mass farming to both economic growth and environmental harm, proving food systems affect everyone.
Its critical reflection on contemporary food systems is both timely and significant. The authors examine the ethical, environmental and social implications of modern industrial food production, addressing issues like relying on single crops, which harms soil and ecosystems. These discussions are especially relevant in today’s context of growing awareness about sustainability and food justice. By connecting historical developments with present-day challenges, it encourages readers to consider the broader implications of their food choices.
28．What does paragraph 2 mainly discuss about the book
A．Its typical background. B．Its historical context. C．Its main characteristics. D．Its cultural themes.
29．What do Wurgaft and White reveal about the Industrial Revolution
A．It advanced farming technology. B．It caused global crop exchanges.
C．It had mixed effects on society. D．It benefited from Columbus’ voyages.
30．What’s the author’s attitude to questioning modern food practices
A．Critical. B．Appreciative. C．Unclear. D．Doubtful.
31．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A．To review a book about food. B．To introduce a writing approach.
C．To explain a cultural phenomenon. D．To advertise a book on food history.
D
Mothers and fathers both play vital roles in a child’s life, but their approaches to parenting can be very different. These differences are partly influenced by biology, specifically hormones (荷爾蒙) like oxytocin—often called the “love hormone”, which shape their positive behaviors as parents.
Research shows that oxytocin affects mothers and fathers in unique ways, leading them to take on balancing roles in raising children. Oxytocin is paramount when it comes to bonding. It is released during moments of closeness, like hugging, breastfeeding, or even playing.
In mothers, oxytocin is associated with nurturing (養育) behavior. This hormone increases when a mother holds or comforts her child, making her more likely to focus on caregiving and providing psychological support. For example, when a baby cries, a mother might automatically lift them up, hold them close and attempt to calm them down.
On the other hand, studies have shown that when fathers spend time with their children, their oxytocin levels also rise. However, instead of becoming more nurturing, they tend to become more playful and energetic. A father might be more likely to play a game, tell jokes, or encourage his child to try new things. This playfulness can help children develop confidence, problem-solving skills and independence.
Interestingly, both roles are equally important for a child’s development. Mothers often provide a safe space where children feel secure and understood, while fathers encourage exploration and hardiness. These differences don’t mean that all mothers or fathers act the same way, but that they do show how biological factors can influence parenting styles. Having different styles of parenting can also help children see the world in a different light. When kids experience both nurturing and playful behaviors, they learn how to adapt to different situations.
Overall, the balance between nurturing and playfulness helps children grow into well-rounded individuals, ready to face the world with confidence.
32．What does the underlined word “paramount” mean in paragraph 2
A．Preventable. B．Odd. C．Crucial. D．Rare.
33．What does the author think is a case of a mother’s nurturing behavior
A．Ensuring emotional security. B．Encouraging outdoor games.
C．Allowing learning adaptability. D．Teaching bicycle riding.
34．Paragraph 4 is mainly discussing a father’s ________.
A．confidence in raising children B．playfulness assumption
C．position in the family D．parenting behavior with oxytocin
35．Which statement may the author agree with
A．Mothers limit children’s independence. B．Parenting roles should be strictly defined.
C．Every parent is unique in parenting styles. D．Fathers are more vital for academic success.
第二節七選五(共5小題；每小題2.5分，共12.5分)
How to eat and drink fewer microplastics
Microplastics are everywhere. They’re in your liver, blood and even in your brain, and they’re almost impossible to avoid. 36 . Here are four ways to reduce your exposure in what you eat and drink.
37
Drinking bottled water could be introducing you to thousands of microscopic pieces of plastic. In fact, bottled water is the biggest pathway to microplastic exposure. Researchers have found that an average liter of bottled water contains about 240,000 plastic particles (微粒), most of which are nanoplastics, measuring just a small part of the width of a human hair. Switching from bottled water to filtered (過濾的) tap water has the potential to reduce microplastic intake.
Avoid plastic food containers
Using plastic is often unavoidable, but there are many ways to reduce your food’s interaction with plastics, and that includes the plastic storage containers, said experts. Experts urge people to replace food that comes in plastic containers with alternatives. 38 Canned food is another plastic pollution pathway for humans.
Use glass in the microwave
One study found that microwaving food in plastic containers and reusable food bags could release more than 4 million microplastic and 2 billion nanoplastic particles per square centimeter in just three minutes. Heat causes microplastics to get into your food, so avoid putting hot food into plastic packaging. 39
Avoid highly processed foods
Highly processed foods contain significantly more microplastics than minimally processed food. 40 Of the products tested, breaded shrimp (蝦) had the highest concentrations of plastic particles. Highly processed chicken pieces contained 30 times as many microplastics per gram as chicken breasts.
A．Choose to drink clean tap water.
B．Filter and boil your bottled water.
C．Microplastics could also be hiding in your food containers.
D．Fortunately, there are some steps to minimize your exposure.
E．That could be as simple as buying peanut butter in a glass container.
F．And make sure that it’s not stored in sunlight or other warm environments.
G．One study found microplastics in all 16 protein products that researchers sampled.

As Jessica Bennett departed from Elmwood High School after a grueling (艱苦的) day of classes, the late afternoon sun 41 elongated shadows across the quiet suburban streets. She clutched her textbooks to her chest, her mind 42 with an upcoming calculus test she felt woefully unprepared for. Oblivious to the world around her, she greeted classmates warmly as she strolled toward the bus stop.
As she reached the intersection at Cedar Avenue and Maple Street, she paused at the crosswalk, earbuds playing the latest pop song. Suddenly, a 43 blast of screeching tires jolted her senses.

Within moments, distant sirens wailed as flashing lights converged on the scene. Emergency responders took over, securing the area and tending to the injured motorist. Jessica, her hands still trembling, watched as the paramedics loaded the patient onto a stretcher. Although shaken, she felt a surge of relief knowing that her prompt intervention had made a 55 difference in the outcome.

My best day ever began when I decided to take a trip to explore the world alone. Leaving my home and family, I set out to discover new cultures and ways of life.
The moment that made this journey so meaningful for me was when I visited an orphanage (孤兒院) for children with disabilities. Seeing the courage and strength these kids had and the determination they displayed in their daily lives was truly inspiring. This experience changed my view on life forever.
My visit to the orphanage happened by chance when I wandered into a small village during my travels. A kind local woman noticed me looking lost and invited me to join her for a meal. Over plates of fragrant rice and fresh vegetables, she shared the story of the orphanage, located just a short walk from her home. Her eyes shone with pride as she spoke of the children. I felt a tug at my heart and asked if I could visit the place.
The next morning, she led me to the orphanage, a modest building with colorful walls painted by the children themselves. As soon as I entered, I was greeted with laughter and a deep sense of warmth. A young boy named Ravi rolled up to me in his wheelchair, his face beaming with a smile. “Welcome! ” he said with infectious enthusiasm, holding out a hand for a handshake. At that moment, I realized I wasn’t just a visitor. I was stepping into a world full of extraordinary strength and beauty.
I spent the day learning about their lives. Each child had a story that could break your heart and mend (修復) it in the same breath. There was Meena, who had lost her parents in a flood but now created amazing art with just her toes. And Ajay, who was born with cerebral palsy (腦性麻痹), was the most talented chess player I had ever met. These children faced challenges I could hardly imagine, yet their spirit remained unbroken. They radiated a kind of joy that didn’t depend on circumstances but came from a deep well of gratitude for life itself.

66．One possible version:
That evening, I had a great time with those children. I listened to Meena carefully, who told me what her painting meant. Ajay, the most gifted chess player, beat me at chess. The children even performed a small play for me. Their performance was filled with laughter, tears and a profound message of hope. As I clapped along with the staff members, I felt a lump in my throat. These children, who had so little by material standards, possessed a wealth of wisdom and strength that I could only desire.
When it was time to leave, Ravi handed me a small card. On the card were written a line of tiny words, kind of scribbling, but I could recognize them without any difficulty. The words read, “Thank you for being our friend. Don’t forget to smile. ” I hugged him tightly, tears welling up in my eyes, and promised to carry their spirit with me wherever I went. Now, whenever I face challenges, I think of Ravi, Meena, and Ajay, who remind me that no matter what life throws at me, I can choose to rise above it.

On the night of January 28th, people around the world sat in front of their TVs or devices, waiting for the show. When the robots came on stage, everyone was shocked. These humanoid robots danced to the lively rhythm of the northern yangko dance. What was more surprising was that they could even twirl handkerchiefs, a traditional part of yangko.
This fantastic performance showcases the great progress of Chinese technology made during the past decades. It also shows that traditional culture can be combined with the ever-changing technology, which has become a hit in the global community.
