Ben was eleven years old when he spotted his neighbour, Julie, working in her garden. He popped his head over the fence, and said to her, “I' ve seen you' re very good with a lawn mower (割草機) and gardening tools. The hedge (樹籬) over the pathway near here has become so overgrown that I am planning to cut it back myself. Would you like to help out ”
Julie loved the idea of helping Ben and their community. They agreed to cut the hedge the followingSunday. Ben's brother Josh, aged 8 at the time, also came along to help. All three of them tackled away at it until they reduced it.
They posted photos of their handiwork on“Our Malmesbury”, their local Facebook Group. The community reaction was amazing. The comments and reactions just kept on coming. The whole town ofMalmesbury seemed to embrace their team spirit and felt inspired to follow their lead. Many people raised their hands to volunteer and do more to keep their town tidy. With many willing hands, their town has transformed. Before, the town looked a bit run down, but now, the place looks cleaner and tidier.
To keep the projects going, Ben created a Facebook page and website to support their projects. TheirFacebook Page“Helping The Community Of Malmesbury” currently sits at 669 members and is a place for all the locals to share what litter picking and cleaning up they have been up to.

When community members plan a clean-up, they can contact them via the website to access any tools and equipment they need to complete a project.

Elon Musk has offered a prize of $100m for the best carbon capture(碳捕捉) proposal. It can save his committee a lot of time. The money should go to Peter Wohlleben, whose book The Hidden Life ofTrees was an encouraging bestseller of 2015. Wohlleben's idea is this: do nothing about trees. Stop toying with them, thinking that we can deal with climate change better than nature. If we don't, our Rome will burn.
The Hidden Life of Trees argued that trees are social. It shows that they can be our rescuer. But it's terribly hard to let ourselves be saved. We think we can be the authors of our own rescue. Of course, there are things we could and should be doing, but in terms of forestry practice, often what's considered as part of the solution is part of the problem.
Anyone who has planted a tree in their garden knows that it has a far-reaching effect—— it makes your garden cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Forests cool by transpiring (蒸發). If there's no water, there's no cooling. Drought can kill trees fast, but trees have many ways of dealing with it, and Wohlleben sets them out. As a species, we have survived many climatic changes by changing our behavior— and that's how trees survive, too. Trees learn from their past harms and produce younger ones programmed with those lessons. They change the rate at which they feed themselves with sugar solution through root networks.
Forests can take in greenhouse gases effectively as long as they live. Cut them down and burn them and you' re letting off carbon dioxide not just from the wood, but also from the forest floor. Broadleaf trees are not " harvest-ready" at 200 years: they are teenagers. We must interrogate comforting expressions such as " renewable energy", and learn the real cost of our toilet paper.
If we don't learn to do nothing about trees, they will eventually be alone anyway—— but without us Wohlleben brilliantly and readably shows us how urgent and how hard it is to do nothing.
28. What's suggested in the book
A. Using renewable energy. B. Leaving trees alone.
C. Dealing with climate change. D. Changing forestry species.
29. What might happen if we keep toying with trees
高一英語四校聯考 第 4 頁 共 8 頁

C. Our world will be destroyed. D. The capital city of Italy will burn.
30. How do trees survive drought
A. They stop absorbing water. B. They lose all their leaves.
C. They get help from humans. D. They slow down their growth.
31. What does the underlined word" interrogate" in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Try. B. Explain.
C. Question. D. Appreciate.
D
The emergence of de-inking printers represents an advancement of printing technology and paper recycling, addressing one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time. For decades, traditional printing processes have been linked to substantial paper waste, with millions of tons of paper being consumed annually-often used just once before being thrown away.
The innovative de-inking printer operates through a combination of advanced technologies. Using an advanced sensor system, it first identifies the presence of in k on the surface of the paper. Subsequently,a high-intensity laser(激光) is precisely directed to target and vaporize (汽化) ink effectively, removing them without causing any damage to the paper fibers.
One of the most remarkable advantages of this technology lies in its potential to reduce overall paper consumption. By enabling the reuse of printed materials through effective ink removal, it significantly reduces the demand for newly produced paper. This shift not only preserves natural resources but also plays a crucial role in reducing carbon emissions associated with the paper production.
From an economic perspective, the adoption of de-inking printers presents long-term financial advantages. Although the initial investment in purchasing and installing (安裝) the printer may be relatively high, the long-term savings from reduced paper and ink purchases can be substantial.
However, the widespread adoption of de-inking printers is not without its challenges. The technology requires further improvements to enhance de-inking efficiency and ensure that the quality of recycled paper meets industry standards. Additionally, there exists a significant barrier in terms of user acceptance: many individuals and organizations are used to using new paper and may be reluctant to recycled alternatives, even when they are of comparable quality.
In conclusion, the de-inking printer stands as a ray of hope for achieving a more sustainable future within the printing industry. With continued technological advancements and growing environmental awareness, this technology has the potential to transform the industry, contributing to a more eco-friendly and resource-efficient world.
32. What is the de-inking printer aimed at
A. Recycling the used ink. B. Producing recyclable paper.
C. Improving the printing speed. D. Reducing the waste of resources.
33. How does the de-inking printer remove ink from paper
A. By adding chemicals into the ink. B. By combining sensors and lasers.
C· By converting paper into new materials. D. By using laser to burn letters on the paper.
34. What prevents the broad application of de-inking printer
A. It can only be used with special ink.
B. It is too large to be used in most offices.
C. People are unwilling to use recycled paper.
D. Users find it complex to understand.
35. What is the author's attitude towards de-inking printer
A. Optimistic. B. Doubtful. C. Neutral. D. Negative.

Getting older means greater maturity and wisdom. 36 . In a society that is aging fast, it has become crucial to find ways to prevent related mental and emotional disorders. Music emerges as a promising tool for promoting well-being of the elderly.

Musical activities are great ways to reprice stress because they take our minds off problems. They also help us feel less lonely and more connected with other people.

Finally, music contributes to keeping our thinking skills sharp. It makes our brains work hard in unique ways to understand the rhythm and melody. 39 . For example, exposure to background music, particularly classical music, during cognitive(認知的) tasks is shown to improve older people's cognitive processes, such as processing speed and working memory.

My Unforgettable Dragon Boat Festival
Recently, my Chinese friend Li Hua invited me to celebrate the Dragon BoatFestival, which is a traditional Chinese festival falling on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in honor of Qu Yuan.
During the festival, excitement filled the air. Li Hua’ s mom soaked glutinous rice, and his grandmother prepared bamboo leaves. When making zongzi, I was clumsy at first, but with their patient help, I managed to wrap a few. Later, we watched dragon boat races. Drums beat, teams paddled fast, and boats flew across the water. Everyone around us was shouting and cheering, and I couldn't help joining them, which was so thrilling!
What an unforgettable experience! Not only did I felt the warmth of Chinese family, but also gain a deep insight into traditional Chinese culture. I'm looking forward to more cultural adventures here!

Paragraph 1:
Then, he bought a small cage and kept Lucky in it. In the beginning, Lucky seemed fine inside it. He believed he had made the right choice to keep Lucky close and secure. However, as time passed, things took a turn for the worse. After a fully recovery, Lucky wanted to spread its wings and fly in the sky. When all its attempts failed, what Lucky could do was sitting inside the little cage and squawking sadly.Several days later, Lucky refused to eat and drink. Worried and confused, he didn't know what to do about it.
Paragraph 2:
Knowing the bad situation, Albert's parents decided to help Lucky and their son. They told their son, “If you really love Lucky, you should think of how to make it happy.” After careful consideration, Albert opened both his heart and the cage. Lucky was released and flew away. Two weeks later, a wonderful thing happened: Lucky returned, flying around Albert and chirped happily, seeming to say thanks to him.This had happened from time to time since then. Ins tead of losing a forced friend,Albert had made a permanent one.

Mr. Perkins always wore the same clothes as other men, ate the same food as other people, and did the same things after work and at the end of the week. Mr.Perkins did not like to be different. The following week, Mr. Perkins bought a new, bright yellowBeta 400s. He was satisfied with it, and drove to work in it the very next day. He was even more satisfied with his new car when he saw all the other Beta 400s in front, behind, and on both sides of him.
Mr. Perkins parked his car in a big parking lot near his office, and worked the rest of the day. But when he came back at five o’ clock, there were so many bright yellow Beta 400s in the parking lot that he did not know which was his car. He tried his key in some of the cars, but people passing by gave him a look he didn't like. So he stopped. Poor Mr. Perkins had to wait nearly two hours until his car was the only one left in the parking lot.
