Matt may have found his calling related to birds. He used to make puppets and is now a farming officer in Yorkshire, England. Matt drew a lot of attention over the weekend when he went into nature dressed as a giant bird.
It wasn’t just any bird, but a 10-foot-long costume of the Eurasian curlew (白腰杓鹬), a large wading bird in Europe known for its long, thin beak and decreasing population. Over the weekend, Matt walked 53 miles (about 85 kilometers) along the Nidderdale Way to raise awareness about the curlew’s decline.
Matt affectionately called the costume “Cathy the Curlew”. It was made out of polystyrene (聚苯乙烯) and bamboo. This unique challenge began on April 19, which is before World Curlew Day on April 21, which was created in 2017 to inform people about habitat loss, land-use changes, and climate change affecting the curlew.
For Matt, this was as much an art project as it was a conservation effort. The journey took about two days. He started at Pateley Bridge on Saturday and finished at Brimham Rocks on Sunday. Along the way, news coverage and Matt’s talks with people he met helped spread the message to protect the curlew.
The area where Matt hiked was once a main habitat for the curlews, but their population has significantly declined over the years. In 2015, the bird was added to the UK Red List for birds, indicating the highest conservation concern.
“I’m really worried about the curlew, Matt said. “Every nest, chick, and egg matters. We need around 10,000 more curlews each year to reach a sustainable (可持续的) population,” he added. “Curlews need to successfully raise one chick (雏鸟) every two years, but they usually don’t manage that from the four eggs they lay each year. One chick every two years is what we need to have a sustainable population, but we are far from that goal.”
4. Why did Matt choose to dress as a Eurasian curlew
A. To warn the public of the species’ decline.
B. To promote puppet-making skills.
C. To get people to know about curlews.
D. To celebrate World Curlew Day.
5. How did Matt’s hike contribute to raising people’s awareness of curlews
A. By calling on volunteers to hike with him.
B. Through media reports.
C. Through activities held by news media.
D. By selling curlew costumes.
6. What can be inferred about the area where Matt hiked
A. Few curlews live there now.
B. There used to be large curlew population.
C. The habitat there is completely destroyed.
D. It experienced a massive increase in curlews.
7. What do Matt’s words in the last paragraph mean
A. The curlew population is sustainable.
B. Curlews are important for the ecosystem.
C. Curlews should lay more eggs each year.
D. The curlew population increases slowly.
C
When children learn a musical instrument, one of the hardest things for a parent to do is encourage them to practice. But here’s something parents can use to give their kids a reason to try: A study has found that playing a musical instrument may lead to better brain health in later life. That might not be enough to encourage a child who has better things to do, but it’s good news for those who enjoy music.
Researchers from the UK looked at data from an online survey of more than 1,000 people over the age of 40 who had been asked to talk about their musical experiences and exposure (暴露) to music during their lives. They were also given tasks that tested their memory and skills in things like planning and focusing.
The study found that playing a musical instrument, especially the piano, was connected with better memory and thinking skills. And continuing to play an instrument into later life was found to have an even more salutary effect. Singing was related to better brain health in older age too. The research team suggested that the social factors that came with singing in a singing group may also have had an effect.
One of the researchers, Anne Corbett, who is a professor of dementia (痴呆) research at the University of Exeter, said that encouraging older adults to return to music later in life could be a useful public health strategy. She said, “There is much evidence for the benefit of music group activities for individuals with dementia.” And she suggested that such activities could be used to reduce the risk of developing dementia.
Of those who took part in the survey, 89% said they had played a musical instrument at some time in their lives, and about half still played one. Around seven out of ten said they had taken part in group singing.
8. Which is a benefit children learning musical instruments get according to the text
A. Becoming famous.
B. Getting courage to try new things.
C. Obtaining the ability to do things well.
D Having better brain health in later life.
9. What does the underlined word “salutary” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Typical. B. Absolute.
C. Positive. D. Sufficient.
10. According to Anne, how could music benefit older adults
A. It encourages them to sing more.
B. It provides a relaxing mind in their free time.
C. It lowers the chance of developing dementia.
D. It helps them stay physically active.
11. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text
A. To explain the importance of a hobby.
B. To describe that singing is good for health.
C. To tell us what we should do in daily life.
D. To encourage people to join in music activities.
D
If you’re reading this in bed on your phone, you’re not alone. Many people use their phones before and after bedtime, especially young adults and teens. Still, you might want to stop soon. Using screens before bed or in bed is believed to disrupt sleep, although the exact reasons are not completely clear.
In a new study, researchers looked into this issue by using data from a large survey of 45, 202 university students in Norway. They found that using screens in bed is linked to a 59 percent higher chance of insomnia (失眠) and can result in 24 minutes less sleep each night.
“Sleep problems are very common among students and have serious effects on mental health, school performance, and overall well-being,” says Gunnhild Johnsen Hjetland, a clinical psychologist at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health. “Because so many people use screens in bed, we wanted to see how different screen activities affect sleep. We thought social media might be worse for sleep because it is interactive (互动的) and can motivate (激发) emotions.”
However, the study found that using social media is no worse for sleep than other screen activities. The type of screen activity doesn’t matter as much as the total time spent using screens in bed. The researchers found no significant differences between social media and other screen activities. This suggests that using screens in general is the main cause of sleep problems, likely because it takes up time that could be used for resting.
“If you have trouble sleeping and think screen time might be a cause, try to reduce the use of screen in bed, and stop using screens at least 30 to 60 minutes before sleep,” says Hjetland. “If you use screens, consider turning off notifications (通知) to reduce disruptions during the night.”
12. How does the author begin the argument
A. By listing different opinions.
B. By referring to scientific data.
C. By mentioning a common act.
D. By analyzing cause and effect.
13. Why did researchers initially guess social media could affect sleep more
A. It included emotional inspiration.
B. It contained violent content.
C. It was entirely used by students.
D. It required frequent physical interaction.
14. Which is the practical advice Hjetland provides
A. Reading e-books instead of social media.
B. Avoiding using screen for a while before bed.
C. Increasing daytime physical activity.
D. Stopping using screens after supper.
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. Screen Time in Bed May Increase Sleeplessness
B. Good Sleep Is Key to Students’ Performance
C. Social Media Has the Worst Effect on Mental Health
D. Reading on Phones Is Common Among Teens and Young Adults

Soccer was the most important part of my grandpa’s life. This old soccer ball in our display case is a symbol of his hard work and passion(酷爱) on the field. He always gave his all in the game, using his skills and spirit to inspire those around him. Grandpa’s soccer career was full of glory and memories. He often told me stories about his young days on the field, and I could feel his love for soccer.
Influenced by Grandpa, my dad also fell in love with soccer. He ran, fought for the ball, and dribbled (运球) even better than Grandpa. Dad was the star of his team, and everyone thought he would have a bright future in soccer. However, in a key game, when Dad was only seventeen, he got badly injured in his back. He stayed in hospital for almost a year. From then on, Grandpa was very sad and heartbroken. He stopped playing soccer because every time he saw a soccer ball, he would remember Dad’s injury.
When I was one year old, we followed an old tradition called zhuazhou. Grandpa placed many items around me to see what I would pick. These items might predict my future interests. There were a needle and thread (representing a ‘doctor or nurse), money (representing wealth), a pen (representing a writer), and a soccer ball. I crawled(爬) straight to the soccer ball and held it tightly. From that moment, soccer also became a part of my life, like a nature passed down through generations.
I have been playing soccer for over seven years now. Every time I played, Grandpa would watch me with focused eyes, always reminding me, “Be careful, don’t fall! Slow down, watch your steps.” He was always there, guiding me just like he guided my dad. Although Grandpa hadn’t played soccer for a long time, his love for the game never faded. He always encouraged me, hoping I would love soccer as much as he did.

A Beautiful Place I’ve Ever Been to
Located in Southwest China, Sichuan Province has many world-famous places of interest. I have ever been to Jiuzhaigou, a nature reserve in Sichuan. It remains fresh in my memory.
Stepping onto the magical land, I was stunned by its waterfalls and lakes of amazing colours: blue green and dark green. Creatures, ranging from common small insects to rare wild animals, were peacefully coexisting in harmony with the natural environment here. As I walked deeper, I saw cute pandas , which indeed left me overjoyed.
All in all, a trip to Jiuzhaigou is highly recommended and it is well worth another visit.
47.
When I was thirteen, Grandpa got very sick and went to hospital. I visited him every day after school, and he always asked about my soccer training. One day, he called me to his bedside, his eyes full of determination. “Bring me the old soccer ball from the display case,” he said weakly. I rushed home to get it. When I returned, he held the ball excitedly, as if it was the most precious thing in the world. “This ball has witnessed our family’s love for soccer,” he whispered, his voice trembling. I knew that he had something important to tell me.
Grandpa gently passed the ball to me with all his remaining strength. “This ball is now yours,” he said, his eyes shining proudly. “It carries the hopes and dreams of our family. Promise me you’ll keep playing, keep loving soccer, and never give up.” I nodded, tears streaming down my face. From that day on, the old soccer ball became my most precious possession. Every time I played, I could feel Grandpa’s presence, his love and encouragement guiding me on the field. I played not only for myself but for my dad and Grandpa, carrying on the family’s legacy of soccer.
