Elm Professional Services owner Mia Van Tubbergh had plenty of business smarts—but no social media know how. So she turned to the younger generation and took on the two high school students who knew their stuff.
“Social media is foreign to many older professionals—but very important for connecting with today’s customers,” Ms Van Tubbergh said. “We have this workforce sitting in schools doing this already but they’re doing it for fun.” Ms Van Tubbergh’s company, which helps launch products to market, took then Year 10 students Braith Mansfield and Tahmana Rudolph on for two weeks’ work experience.
Ms Van Tubbergh said with a bit of guidance and help with spelling and presenting in a professional environment, the boys now do about 80% of Elm’s social media marketing work for online customers. The pair work one day a week with Elm at Gosford and the rest at Kariong High School. Their duties include stand-alone posts on social media platforms, videos, stories and website headers. They recently finished a hard copy flyer（传单）for a major retailer that will be seen by every consumer who visits the website.
“I am so impressed by the performance of the two teenagers, who have helped grow the company’s social media following by 600%,” said Ms Van Tubbergh. “Braith, 17, and Tahmana, 16—now in Year 11—came into the business with a lot of unexplored social media experience. Working at Elm has provided them with a ‘digital platform of work that is worth its weight in gold’—a valuable resource they can show other employers when starting a full-time career.”
Braith and Rudolph are among 42 NSW Central Coast students doing Year 11 and 12 as part of a School-Based Apprenticeship and Training（SBAT）program. NSW Education SBAT strategic officer Cecile Oakes said they needed more companies like Elm to take on students and give them the benefit of real world experience.
24．Why did Elm Professional Services hire Braith and Rudolph
A．They have plenty of business smarts.
B．They hope to gain valuable work experience.
C．They hope to get paid and become financially independent.
D．They can help to grow the company’s social media following.
25．What is the third paragraph mainly about
A．The two teenagers’ role in Elm.
B．Elm’s social media marketing work.
C．The two teenagers’ unexpected gains in Elm.
D．Elm’s guidance and help to the two teenagers.
26．What do Ms Van Tubbergh’s words in the fourth paragraph suggest
A．She will recommend the two teenagers to other employers.
B．The two teenagers should start a full-time career upon graduation.
C．Starting a career in social media is a win-win for the two teenagers and the company.
D．The two students have not yet explored their social media experience.
27．What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．NSW Education SBAT program has been a great success.
B．More NSW Central Coast students are likely to be taken on.
C．NSW Central Coast students have rich real world experience.
D．Braith and Rudolph will continue to work for Elm after graduation.

Have you noticed that as time goes on and technology advances, things seem to keep getting smaller and smaller That’s especially true with that machine we call the “computer.”
What exactly is a computer Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary defines a computer as “a usually programmable electronic device that can store, retrieve（检索）, and process data.” Others think a computer as anything that transforms information in a meaningful way.
For thousands of years, people have tried to improve their lives by inventing machines to make certain tasks easier．Some people believe a simple mechanical device called an “abacus” was one of the earliest forms of a computer. Ancient people used the device to perform simple calculations（计算）. Archaeologists（考古学家）have found evidence that the ancient Greeks used the abacus as early as the 5th century B.C.
Modern computers were developed much more recently. The first modern electronic computer—known as the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer or ENIAC—became operational in 1946. Weighing more than 30 tons, ENIAC took up as much space as 1,800 square feet. Since then, computers have become much smaller and much more powerful. While ENIAC could perform 5,000 addition problems per second, many of today’s laptop computers weigh just a few pounds and can perform several billion operations per second.
Today’s computers keep getting smaller and smaller. Large desktop computers gave way to laptops. Laptops have developed into a wide variety of even smaller computing devices, such as netbooks and tablet computers. Many people even carry computers with them everywhere they go. Smartphones, or cellphones, fit easily into a pocket and allow their users to make telephone calls, surf the Internet and conduct business.
So what’s the smallest computer available today As of 2015, the smallest computer is just one cubic millimeter. However, today’s computer manufacturers are constantly producing newer and smaller models at a rate too fast to keep up with. Whatever is the smallest today will probably be replaced with something even smaller tomorrow!
28．How does the author organize the text
A．In the order of time.
B．In the order of space.
C．By raising questions and answering them.
D．By analyzing reasons and then drawing a conclusion.
29．What can we know about “abacus” from Paragraph 3
A．It was invented by Ancient Greeks. B．It was widely used in Ancient Greece.
C．It could carry out various tough tasks. D．It was among the earliest forms of computer.
30．Why does the author take ENIAC as an example
A．To compare it with ancient computers.
B．To tell readers how large earlier computers were.
C．To show readers how powerful the first computer was.
D．To explain to readers how modern computers operated.
31．Which might be the best title for the text
A．What exactly is a computer B．What is the smallest computer
C．What would future computers be like D．How did the computer come into being
D
Almost a quarter of the UK’s sea swimmers may not swim in the ocean this year because of sewage（污水）dumping by water companies, according to a poll（民意调查）. Sewage was dumped into waters near England’s most celebrated beaches for nearly 8,500 hours last year. And there were 1,504 discharges（排出）in 2022 on beaches supposed to be free from such pollution.
The poll spoke to 2,272 UK adults between 21 and 23 on July. Just over 30% said they typically went sea swimming during the summer, and of these 23% said they would not this year because of sewage dumping by water companies. More than two in five of the regular beachgoers also said they were less likely to visit the British seaside this summer because of sewage discharges.
The Department for Environment says government should allow the Environment Agency to charge unlimited fines on rule-breaking water companies. Fines are currently capped（上限）at 250,000. The Department for Environment has been calling for a sewage tax on annual profits and a ban on bonuses of water company managers. “Coastal communities are at the mercy of water companies who unapologetically discharge raw sewage into popular swimming spots,” Tim Farron, the Department for Environment’s spokesperson said. “The government needs to stop letting water companies off the hook and finally ban these terrible sewage discharges and defend our tourism sector.”
A Water UK spokesperson said standards at beaches had greatly’ improved since the 1990s but that the industry recognized it had been slow to deal with the harm to our seas caused by sewage overflows. “Over the next seven years, water and sewerage companies plan to spend 10bn—doubling current levels of investment—on sewage treatment,” they said. “As part of this, bathing waters will be among the first to receive funding.”
32．What does the poll show
A．Water companies dumped the most sewage into waters last year.
B．Many swimmers avoid the water over fears of sewage on UK beaches.
C．Waters near England’s most celebrated beaches are not seriously polluted.
D．Over two fifths of the regular beachgoers in UK are between 21 and 23.
33．What suggestion does the Department for Environment make to the government
A．Reducing bonuses of water company managers.
B．Shutting down those rule-breaking water companies.
C．Fining rule-breaking water companies at least 250,000.
D．Introducing a sewage tax on water companies’ yearly profits.
34．What does the underlined part “off the hook” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Develop slowly. B．Improve too fast.
C．Free of responsibility. D．Attract public attention.
35．In which section of the website can you probably read the text
A．Environment. B．Lifestyle. C．Fitness. D．Business.

It makes the world go round. It teaches lessons, makes people feel warm, and sometimes causes pain. 36 That’s right—we’re, talking about the knee shaking, palm sweating, heart pounding feeling of love!
There are many types of love. Most people feel love for members of their family—this long-term connection is often called attachment. They may feel this same emotion toward friends or even pets. 37 These feelings are quite different from those people feel for family and friends. Sometimes, these initial feelings grow into long-term love similar to that felt in families.
Why do people feel love Many experts believe it’s rooted in survival. After all, most people first feel love for family members or caretakers. 38 Especially for children, this is a major advantage for survival. Later in life, when people start to love romantic partners, this is driven by similar needs.
39 It can reduce stress and lower blood pressure. Spending time with loved ones can also lead to a longer lifespan. In fact, close family and community relationships is one factor that may help people live longer.
With all this talk about love, maybe someone, you care about is on your mind. How can you show someone you love them There are plenty of ways! You can convey love by showing appreciation, giving praises, and being a good listener. Sharing, doing small favors, or giving a hug can also show a person you care. 40 If you care about someone, tell them so. Making a card or writing them a letter can also be great ways to share love. If you’re not sure what to do, just ask yourself: What actions make you feel loved
A．Of course, words work just fine, too!
B．Many people say it’s all they need in life.
C．Seeing someone you love can cause increased heart rate.
D．Families and close friends take care of and protect each other.
E．Scientists have found that love may also have several health benefits.
F．A different type of love exists between romantic couples and life partners.
G．That may explain why people in love sometimes describe less desire to eat or sleep!

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。
Looking up at the black sky with shining stars, I smiled. The next morning, my Tathra Surf Lifesaving Club teammates and I would begin the first leg（赛程）of the George Bass Surfboat Marathon—the longest and toughest surfboat race in the world.
Over seven days and seven legs, we’d row 190km down the NSW coast, starting at Corrigan’s Beach in Batemans Bay and ending in Cocora Beach, Eden.
It was a competition my 10 teammates and I had been training two years for. At dawn each morning, including Christmas Day, we’d been straight into the boat and out on the water. For the last six months we’d added in gym sessions, too.
Surf clubs from all over Australia had come to compete. When our turn came to set off, we readied our boat. “We can do this, ladies,” I cheered.
On the water, we gave it everything we had. My aching muscles screamed at me to stop, but I pushed through. After two-and-a-half hours, we crossed the line first and won that leg. Over the next three days, we won another two and lost one. With three of four wins in the bag, on the fifth day we were hopeful. We only needed one more win to secure the marathon.
Our surfboat marathon win was so close—then disaster struck! When we made our way back to the shoreline, the water became aggressively rough. It was nothing we hadn’t rowed through before, so we kept going. But the boat started to shake and suddenly, it turned side-on and one by one we leapt off the boat, me included. Seconds later, the 300kg surfboat suddenly slammed on top of me. My body immediately went numb（麻木）.
Emergency doctors raced over. It was decided, due to the severity of my injuries, I should be airlifted to hospital. I was taken to Canberra where I underwent tests, including CT scans, whose results showed I had a spinal（颈椎）injury. I received an operation. When I woke up, the surgeon visited. “We’ve inserted metal plates to put your back together,” he said. “We’ll remove them in about six months.”
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。

第二节
One possible version:
The support I received while I was in hospital was amazing. With the medical staff’s help, I pushed myself one step at a time, determined to get better. It was hard, but I knew it’d be worth it. My surfboat teammates were equally amazing. They barely left my side and took turns nursing me, encouraging me and comforting me. A Go Fund Me page raised over $50,000 to help cover my medical costs, which was truly unbelievable. I was convinced a few broken bones would never keep me from pursuing my dream.
Now, after spending two months in hospital, I’m back at home. Although there’s still a long way to go before full recovery and getting back on the water again, I am resolved not to give up but to continue. My life may be as unpredictable as the ocean, but my love for surfboat will never fade away. Four months later, the big day for the metal plate to be removed from my body ultimately comes, accompanied by the thrilling news that we can kick off preparations for next George Bass Surfboat Marathon.

56．selling 考查非谓语动词。此处是现在分词短语作后置定语，修饰over 1,600 shops，分词动作sell与逻辑主语over 1,600 shops之间是主动关系。
