Wildlife photographer Ingo Arndt discovered his first enormous ant mound (蚁丘) as a child exploring the forest with his father near their home almost 50 years ago. They were bird-watching and came around a bend in a thickly wooded area when there it was: a five-foot-tall mound, standing upward like a large stalagmite (石笋). Arndt wanted to investigate more closely, but a very particular smell suggested he rethink that. The air felt thick and sharp, discomforting his nose. “All my life,” he says, “I could remember the smell.”
Several years later, Arndt moved to the countryside. He continued his fascination with the mounds and their armies of tiny engineers. Outfitted with a high-resolution camera, he began photographing the mounds and sharing his imagery with researchers for a scientific perspective. It turned out the mound makers were indeed special. They were red wood ants — one of the smallest of all so-called keystone species. Keystone species such as elephants and sharks are watched closely because their behaviors affect so many aspects of the ecosystem that if they disappeared, it would struggle to adapt. Researchers also explained the smell from the mound. As the insects build a nest, they generate formic acid (蚁酸), the origin of the smell, which helps to fight against enemies.
But in recent decades, the population of ants has been declining as the forests have fallen victim to logging, urbanization, and wildfires, as well as drought and higher temperatures that have become more frequent with climate change. This has led several countries across the ants’ range, including Germany, to enlist them as a protected species by law.
Today Arndt’s photos put on display that as social insects, these small ants not only form complex societies, but they also cohabitate with a wide variety of species, creating a mass of coexisting relationships across a variety of plant and animal species. They are also a reminder that by protecting these unnoticed creatures, we are actually protecting ourselves.
24．How was Arndt’s first encounter with the ant mound
A．It reminded him of a bad experience. B．It left him an unforgettable memory.
C．It aroused his enthusiasm for nature. D．It inspired him to protect the forests.
25．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A．The wooded area. B．The mound maker.
C．The keystone species. D．The entire ecosystem.
26．What contributed to the decrease in the number of ants
A．Their worsened habitats. B．Their changing behavior.
C．Their severe competition. D．Their limited population.
27．What is the text mainly intended to tell us
A．Massive lives exist on earth. B．Tiny species count in nature.
C．Social creatures live in groups. D．Little ants are master architects.
C
It’s a classic complaint in relationships, especially romantic ones: “She said she was okay with me forgetting her birthday! Then why is she throwing dishes in the kitchen Are the two things related ”
The answer is munication is more than words. It’s how those words are said, the tone, the order, even the choice of a particular word. It’s multi-dimensional, as explored by Deirdre Wilson and Dan Sperber in Meaning and Relevance. Consider the following example: Peter got angry and Mary left; Mary left and Peter got angry. Though identical in words, their meanings differ completely. The first one may have us thinking: Wow, Peter must get angry often if Mary leaves. The second sentence suggests that Peter wants more from Mary. Same words — a totally different context.
Human language is not a code (编码). True codes have a one-to-one relationship with meaning. One sound, one definition. This is what we see with animals. Wilson and Sperber explain that “coded communication works best when emitter (发出者) and receiver share exactly the same code. ” Not so for humans. We communicate more than the definitions of our words would suggest. This is inferential communication, and it means that we understand not only the words spoken, but the context in which they are spoken. .
Irony (反语) is a great example of how powerfully we can communicate context with a few simple words. It is more than just stating the opposite. For example, when Mary says, after a boring party, “That was fun”, she is neither saying literally that the party was fun nor saying “ironically” that the party was boring. Rather, she is expressing an emotion. Three words replace paragraphs, showcasing language’s efficiency.
Wilson and Sperber concluded that human language developed and became so powerful because of two unique abilities of humans: language and the power to try to interpret mental states of others. We look for context for the words we hear. And we should be very good at absorbing this context to infer meaning.
28．What does the complaint in Paragraph 1 mainly indicate
A．The inconsistence between words and meaning. B．The importance of remembering vital moments.
C．The necessity of straightforward communication. D．The unavoidability of argument in a couple's life.
29．What may make human language different from true codes
A．The context included in understanding meanings.
B．The definitions made by words in communication.
C．The coded communication between emitter and receiver.
D．The one-to-one relationship between word and meaning.
30．How does Mary’s statement “That was fun” illustrate about irony
A．It simplifies language to save time. B．It covers the true feelings of people.
C．It needs wordy explanations to make sense. D．It uses fewer words for complex meanings.
31．What does the author suggest in communication
A．Focusing on the opposite. B．Taking language literally.
C．Reading beyond the words. D．Avoiding using ironic tones.
D
Imagine waking up one morning to find your smartphone missing. You can no longer get guided to work, order your coffee, or connect with friends. For most of us, it is a nightmare（噩梦）. But it should not be exactly far-fetched.
Despite being more digitally connected than ever, we are lonelier and more anxious. Anxiety rates increased by 25% globally. Depression now affects over 280 million people worldwide. All of this is due to our growing dependence on social media and smart technologies designed to offer quick relief but often at the expense of deep, meaningful engagement, which may further cause our loss of something easy to be ignored.
While these conveniences offer short-term relief, they may weaken our thinking skills. For example, GPS has undeniably transformed how we travel. But a 2020 study found that frequent GPS users struggle more with self-guided navigation. Over time, those who depended more on GPS showed a sharp decline in spacial memory and problem-solving skills. However, reducing dependence on these conveniences can lead to discomfort. In seeking comfort today, we might be trading away some discomfort.
That is the problem: the very discomfort we avoid is often what strengthens us. Viewing stress, a kind of discomfort, as a challenge rather than a threat leads to better outcomes. Research shows that mild stress can enhance adaptability. Neuroscience（神经科学） reveals that neuroplasticity—the brain's ability to form new connections—is enhanced through challenging experiences. This adaptability is crucial for developing resilience, （抗逆力）, a process fueled by both mental challenges and active effort.
But this doesn't mean we should reject comfort entirely; it's to balance it with intentional discomfort. Think of it as “microdosing hardship”—a series of small, manageable difficulties that keep our mental and emotional muscles strong, such as writing with a pen, or washing dishes by hand. These small acts are enough to reawaken the resilience we've buried under layers of ease. So, the next time you feel the pull of ease, pause. Ask yourself: Is this momentary comfort helping me grow or is it keeping me stuck Choosing discomfort isn't easy, but sometimes, it's worth it.
32．What does the underlined word “far-fetched” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A．Possible to change. B．Certain to function.
C．Unlikely to be settled. D．Unable to be accepted.
33．What may digital conveniences cause according to the text
A．The fast but worthless relief. B．The meaningful engagement.
C．The loss of thinking capacity. D．The lack of necessary comfort.
34．Which is a real-life application of “microdosing hardship”
A．Taking the stairs instead of the lift. B．Ordering take-out food after work.
C．Exploring a new city by using GPS. D．Writing an email using voice-to-text.
35．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．GPS: the invisible cost of convenience B．Stress: the main cause of brain damage
C．Discomfort: a hidden source of resilience D．Smartphones: barriers to human progress

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We all know that first impressions are important and that they are lasting. That’s why we work hard to make great first impressions. 36
First impressions might overshadow your abilities. When you are hired in an organization, a set of inferences are made about you. Making inferences is human nature. If you become known for your attention to details, you may never be seen as someone who can see the big picture. If you are the person who organizes all of the birthday celebrations, you may never be seen as management material. 37
First impressions can stamp you forever, often pre-determining the path of your career and how far you will be able to advance your career. These perceptions paint a picture of who people think you are. 38 This, in large part, is why your careers are held back, why you become frustrated, dissatisfied and even want to leave the present position.
But it doesn’t have to come to that if you can unlock hidden aspects of your value. Talk about what you are reading or a project you are working on at home with coworkers and your manager when appropriate. This can demonstrate other skills you possess. Embrace (接受) new things and become knowledgeable about your company and industry. 39 Volunteer in your company. It is a good way to give yourself the opportunity for others to see you in a way that is outside of your defined role.
40 As people get to know you better, they will recognize your diverse interests and capabilities, potentially opening new doors for career advancement.
A．Here are some useful suggestions for you.
B．Arm yourself with as much knowledge as possible.
C．Thus, you can contribute in fresh and unexpected ways.
D．It is often extremely difficult for people to change them.
E．Whatever labels, they prevent people seeing your other capacities.
F．Nevertheless, the same first impressions can block our career progress.
G．By expanding your knowledge and network, you can reshape others’ perceptions.

The unexpected detours (迂回) in the past summer have turned an ordinary vacation into an unforgettable adventure.
It began with a simple message from my friends, “Why don’t we 41 the road this weekend ” With only a rough idea of our route for mountains and lakes, we 42 into my car and set off into the clear night. Driving under a blanket of 43 felt liberating; it was as if all our worries 44 . The laughter echoed (回荡) in the car as we shared funny stories in our lives.
As 45 broke over the horizon (地平线), so did our first 46 : getting lost! A wrong turn led us deep into winding country roads far from where we intended to be. 47 frustrated, we quickly turned it into an opportunity for exploration instead of seeing it as a 48 . We came across little towns we’d never heard of before — each with its own charm and character. Finally arriving at our 49 destination — an extremely attractive national park — we were greeted by breathtaking views of towering mountains 50 on glassy lakes. The 51 was undoubtedly our hike up Pine Ridge Trail, which challenged us physically but 52 us with views that took our breath away.
This adventure 53 not only as an escape from daily pressures but also a chance to accept uncertainty rather than 54 it: sometimes getting lost opens doors that you didn’t even know 55 !

London’s food scene has witnessed an inrush not only of traditional Cantonese (广东的) restaurants but also a diverse range of regional Chinese cuisines. For decades, London’s Chinatown has been closely associated with classic dishes 56 (root) in Guangdong province, while London’s Chinese food has expanded far beyond that, reflecting a much 57 (broad) cultural shift.
While Cantonese-centric offerings have laid the foundation of familiarity with Chinese culinary (烹饪的) culture, the increasing variety makes it 58 big challenge for restaurants to meet local British tastes. To adapt to the trend, they manage to introduce new dishes and enhance existing ones 59 (continuous) for bettering the menu. Additionally, larger culinary schools commit to teaching authentic (地道的) Chinese cooking, 60 (strengthen) greater appreciation and mastery of the cuisine.
Hotpot, a typical Chinese dish, has taken centre stage in London, described as an “adventure” 61 locals could enjoy genuine Sichuan cuisine and unfamiliar cultural experiences. Meanwhile, hearty hand-pulled noodles of Xi’an are also making waves, driven by the growing 62 (present) of Chinese customers and Londoners’ appetite for authentic regional flavors.
Chen Xin, the chief organizer of the 2024 London Chinese Cuisine International Development Convention, 63 (emphasize) that London was becoming a true global centre of Chinese cuisine, staying true 64 one single mission — providing Chinese customers with a taste of home and showcasing the depth of Chinese culinary culture to international 65 (diner).

It was one of those freezing nights we got here in Minnesota in the middle of winter. The dampness in the air got trapped and a curtain of fog sank all around, mixing with the snow on the ground and the strong snow falling from the sky to white out everything. Normally I wouldn't drive in that kind of weather, but I'd been at a Tupperware party all evening, and I was so exhausted. The desire to be in the comfort of my own home beat my better judgment. However never had I imagined my little act could save my life on such a night
I was only on the road for a minute before I regretted my decision not to stay put. The winding country road was totally deserted. My car's headlights could barely cut through the heavy fog. The snow was getting heavier. A lot heavier. Everything beyond a few feet in front of me was a mystery. I drove slowly. I wasn't quite sure where I was, though I knew there were railways specifically built for freight（货运） trains in this area. But in such weather, it was impossible to spot the tracks or any signs of an approaching train.
Trembling with cold, I turned up the heat. The loud blowers did their work, sheltering me from the bitter cold and the sound outside. Seemingly, everything went smoothly as I inched forward.
All at once, my headlights shone on a small animal in front of me, right at the farthest point they could reach. I hit the brakes-tires screeched（发嘎吱声）against the snow as the car was coming to a stop. When the world stopped spinning, taking a closer look, I found it was a brown rabbit, its fur covered with ice crystals in the headlights. I tapped the horn, no response. I tried again, yet the little creature remained rooted-it appeared unwilling to get out of the way. Curiously, I got out of the car and made my way toward it

1. 续写词数应为150左右；

Getting near, I found its leg stuck in a trap. ______________________________________________

Dear David,
I’m truly honored to have participated in the stage play based on Chinese stories last week and deeply appreciate your trust in my work.
The event was a remarkable cultural success, serving as a gateway to Chinese wisdom. Timeless stories like Yugong Moves Mountains and Confucius were masterfully presented. Meaningful dialogues were skillfully integrated with vivid storytelling performances. The ink-brush stage design, traditional costumes and actors’ expressiveness combined to create an unforgettable artistic feast.
As a co-writer, I suggest inviting foreign enthusiasts of Chinese culture to cooperate on future plays. Their insights could help reinterpret classics, enhancing the stories’ global appeal while ensuring cultural authenticity. I am eagerly expecting our next journey of sharing China’s stories through stage play!
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节（满分25分）(One possible version)
Getting near, I found its leg stuck in a trap. Seeing injuries on its leg, I couldn’t help reaching out to touch it. It began to struggle and looked at me with its eyes wide and scared. I got down on my knees, patted its snow off its body and whispered gently,“Don’t be worried. I’m coming to your rescue.”Then I studied how to open the trap without further hurting its leg. Realizing I was to help it, the little creature felt less nervous and stopped struggling. I tried several times but in vain. My fingers were numb with cold. But I rubbed my hands together to go on with the rescue.
Just as I was freeing the rabbit from the trap, a train whooshed(呼啸) by. The big noise made me almost deaf and the huge air waves almost shook me down to the ground. Just then, it struck me that if I did not stop for the rabbit, I was driving on those hidden tracks. What would happen to me I could feel some cold sweat down my face. After calming myself down, I continued to open the trap with all my might. Finally my efforts paid off. The rabbit limped away into the snow. Then I returned to my car and tried to find my right way home. This experience confirmed that one good turn deserves another.
