Animals can express their needs using a lot of ways. For instance, almost all animals have distinct vocals (声音) that they rely on to either ask for help, scare away any dangerous animals or look for shelter. But cats are special creatures who possess amazing vocalization skills. They are able to have entire conversations with humans using meows and you're able to interpret it. If a pet cat is hungry, it will keep meowing to attract attention and find food. However, when a cat is looking for affection, they tend to produce stretched and soft meows. Meowing starts as soon as a baby cat is brought to life and uses it to get the mother's attention and be fed.
Cats have many heightened senses, but their sense of smell is quite impressive. They use their noses to assess their environment and look out for any signs of danger. They will sniff out specific areas before they choose a place to relax. However, another way the cats are able to distinguish between situations is by looking for familiar smells. Your cat will likely smell your face and store the smell in its memory and use it to recognize you in the future. That's why most pet cats are able to tell immediately if their owners were around any other cats, which they don't usually like.
Dogs are known for their impressive fetching habit, but cats take this behavior up a notch. Many cats will find random objects outside and bring them to their owners. This is a very old habit that's been present in all kinds of predators (食肉动物). Cats bring gifts for their owners to show they love you. These adorable little hunters are just doing something that it's been in their nature since the beginning of time. So just go along with it!
4．What can be learned about cats' meowing from the first paragraph
A．It's a survival skill. B．It's taught by mother cats.
C．It's hard to interpret. D．It's getting louder with age.
5．How does a pet cat assess different situations
A．By listening for sounds. B．By touching familiar objects.
C．By checking on smells. D．By communicating with other cats.
6．Which best explains the phrase "take. . . up notch" in paragraph 3
A．Perform appropriately. B．Move faster. C．Act strangely. D．Do better.
7．What is a suitable title for the text
A．Tips on Finding a Smart Cat B．Understanding Your Cat's Behavior
C．Have Fun with Your Cat D．How to Keep Your Cat Healthy
Scientists from UNSW Sydney have developed a groundbreaking method to tackle the common problem of “forever chemicals” in water. These chemicals, known scientifically as polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), are difficult to break down, causing significant environmental and health risks. The new method involves a novel catalyst (催化剂) system that promises a more efficient and sustainable solution, for breaking down these compounds.
PFAS are widely used in various industries due to their resistance to heat, water, and oil. They’re found in products such as cookware, food packaging and clothing. Their widespread use has led to global pollution of water sources and soil. A study has shown that almost half of America tap water is polluted with alarming levels of PFAS, raising concerns about their environmental and health impacts. PFAS are called “forever chemicals” because their stable chemical structure makes them resistant to degradation. That means they persist in the environment and accumulate in the human body, potentially leading to harmful health outcomes.
Current methods to remove PFAS from water such as activated carbon absorption have significant deficiencies. Activated carbon can absorb PFAS but requires burning to destroy the chemicals, which is environmentally harmful. Oxidizing agents can break down PFAS into smaller, more persistent structures, complicating the removal process. These methods are inefficient and not environmentally friendly, highlighting the need for better solutions.
The catalyst system developed by Dr. Jun Sun can break the strong carbon-fluoride (强碳氟键) bonds in PFAS, using nano zero-valent metals (纳米零价金属) combined with a catalyst inspired by the structure of vitamin B12. The system was tested on common PFAS compounds like branched PFOS, showing impressive results.
Dr. Sun explained, “The new system we’ve developed shows successful PFAS measures to solve water pollution in the lab, which we hope to eventually test at larger scales.” Within five hours, the new method achieved a 7% breakdown of PFAS, significantly outperforming existing B12-based catalysts, which managed less than 8% breakdown in the same period.
While further research is needed before the method can be applied on a large scale, the team is optimistic. They plan to conduct more tests and explore integrating the catalyst into electro-chemical cells for broader application.
8．What do we know about PFAS
A．They are common chemicals.
B．They are harmless compounds.
C．They are widely used in agriculture.
D．They damage the earth in many aspects.
9．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “deficiencies” in Paragraph 3
A．Strength. B．Shortcoming. C．Difference. D．Diversity.
10．What is the team’s plan for the future of the new method
A．To find other substitutes of PFAS.
B．To apply it on a large scale immediately.
C．To test it more before putting it to use widely.
D．To develop new chemicals having similar features.
11．What is the main point of the passage
A．“ Forever chemicals” in water can be broken down.
B．A catalyst system is saving human from disasters.
C．Polluted water will be safe to drink in the future.
D．PFAS can be used in more industries in future.
My name is Lucas van der Zee and I’m working at Wageningen University, the Netherlands. Farming today is not sustainable, with its greenhouse-gas emissions and its destruction of wildlife habitats. Agriculture now takes up half of Earth’s land surface at the expense of these habitats. Therefore, I hope to restore current farmland to its natural state by ending the vegetation stage of crop-growing.
Developing sustainable food production will require multiple approaches. My PhD research at Wageningen University in the Netherlands is inspired by alternative, indoor methods of food production, such as farming leafy green vegetables vertically (垂直地) and growing meat in a laboratory. I wondered if you can grow meat without an animal, can you grow fruit without a plant This could be done inside, which might help us to return some agricultural land to nature.
During my master’s programme in agricultural engineering, I discussed indoor fruit production with my professor. He invited me to write a master’s thesis (论文) on the subject of growing fruits without the plant. Now, we’re testing this idea.
The main task of my PhD is to collect immature (不成熟的) fruit or flowers from tomato plants, and try to grow them into healthy, high-quality tomatoes in the lab. Ultimately, we want to produce fruit from tomato cells, from which new plant organs can grow and skip using a plant entirely.
I have achieved some of the early results of my research, when I was testing different growing conditions at different stages of tomato development. The lighting is an energy-efficiency measure; we use blue and red LEDs, the best colours for photosynthesis (光合作用).
Some people get excited about the possibilities of my work, but most are hesitant, which I understand. In the past, people have rushed into using food technologies, such as cage-grown chickens and the extensive use of synthetic fertilizer, without considering the potential disadvantages. An important part of my PhD programme will be to assess the sustainability of my method.
12．How are the author’s ways to grow fruit
A．Expensive. B．Troublesome. C．Convenient. D．Meaningful.
13．What did the author’s professor react to his ways of growing fruit
A．He showed great interest in them. B．He expressed a little doubt to them.
C．He asked him to practice them quickly. D．He wrote a thesis about the subject.
14．How does the author produce tomatoes
A．By using only a little agricultural land. B．By using much sun for photosynthesis.
C．By making use of cells from tomatoes. D．By making use of a whole plant.
15．What is the author’s attitude toward past food technologies
A．Unclear. B．Dismissive. C．Doubtful. D．Approving.
Tennis is an incredibly mental sport. 16 But it is also an incredibly difficult sport to play well.
It is very easy to self-destruct (自我毁灭) when playing tennis if you let your expectations and ego get the better of you. So, simply playing the ball that is in front of you is the simplest way to approach the game, along with taking each point at a time.
That being said, it is much easier said than done. 17 Even if it is as simple as playing to your opponent’s backhand as much as possible, or aiming to hit as many cross court (对角线球) balls as you can, it is important to have a plan of attack if you want to be successful on the court.
18 You may have the best plan in the world, but if you aren’t performing well enough to execute it or your opponent cottons on (领悟) what you’re trying to do, you’ll need to adapt, improvise and overcome. Adapting to new conditions, court surfaces, balls and playing styles is all part of becoming a better tennis player!
19 This means you need to be incredibly resilient (坚韧的) to play good tennis and overcome hardship. Don’t be too much bothered by some points you lose. Just learn from your mistakes but not let them get you down.
Tennis is also about playing the big points well and understanding that not all points hold the same weight across the course of a match. Putting disappointment behind you and trying to play the next point with a positive attitude can be very difficult to do. 20
A．However, being flexible is also important.
B．You will always have to have some form of strategy.
C．However, it is a key part of becoming a better tennis player.
D．It can bring with it a whole host of physical and mental benefits.
E．Every backhand shot you hit is what you throw at your opponent.
F．Perhaps the most obvious benefits tennis offers are the physical ones.
G．The scoring system in tennis means you can win more points and still lose a match!

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 36 (root) in Guangdong province, while London’s Chinese food has expanded far beyond that, reflecting a much 37 (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 38 big challenge for restaurants to meet local British tastes. To adapt to the trend, they manage to introduce new dishes and enhance existing ones 39 (continuous) for bettering the menu. Additionally, larger culinary schools commit to teaching authentic (地道的) Chinese cooking, 40 (strengthen) greater appreciation and mastery of the cuisine.
Hotpot, a typical Chinese dish, has taken centre stage in London, described as an “adventure” 41 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 42 (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, 43 (emphasize) that London was becoming a true global centre of Chinese cuisine, staying true 44 one single mission — providing Chinese customers with a taste of home and showcasing the depth of Chinese culinary culture to international 45 (diner).

Allan worked as the janitor (看门人) of an office building. It was 4 p. m.. It was a perfect time to have sandwich outside. He noticed the lid of a bin open. A young boy was chewing on something, and Allan knew he had gotten it from the trash. He produced a fresh sandwich from his lunchbox. After cutting half of it and giving it to the kid, he passed the boy some of his soda as well.
“What’s your name ” he wondered. The boy remained silent. “You can come tomorrow for sandwich and soda, but only if you tell me your name.”
“Christopher,” the boy said shyly. Christopher came back every day and waited for his sandwich. Allan came one day with some kids’ clothes. He couldn’t afford to buy them himself, but he had told his neighbors, William and Jessy, about the kid and wondered if they had anything left over. Fortunately, they did. After two weeks. Allan talked to him more and knew Christopher’s parents died and was homeless. “You can’t live this life forever,” Allan said. “You should be in school, learning. It’s your only chance to succeed. I don’t have much to offer you, but I could find you home.” That night he talked to William and Jessy again. They volunteered to adopt him. Allan witnessed how they formed a family together.
But a few years later, Jessy and William’s older kid landed a job on the other side of the country. He didn’t want his parents so far away. At first, Christopher was reluctant because he didn’t want to go far from Allan. “You should go with them. You can write to me or call me.” Allan encouraged, and the boy trusted him.
Christopher wrote and called regularly firstly, but the communication slowly faded as his life got busier. Allan missed him and his neighbors, but he could only hope they were all doing well.
Many years later, Allan was still working in the same office building. One morning, He was eating his sandwich outside when a car came. A man stepped out and asked, “What kind of sandwich are you having ”
“Christopher!” he shouted wildly.

Dear Chris,
I’m writing to share with you an art class I had in a park last Friday.
We were tasked to draw or paint something that impressed us most. Inspired by the fantastic scenery, I decided to create a watercolor painting of the small bridge over the park’s pond, surrounded by blooming flowers.
The entire experience was incredibly refreshing. Being surrounded by nature not only sparked my creativity but also offered a much-needed break from the usual hustle and bustle of school life. I felt a deep sense of peace as I painted.
In a word, it was not just an art class; it was a moment of connection with nature that I truly cherished.
Yours,
Li Hua
47． Allan laughed and opened his arms and they embraced tightly. Allan asked how Christopher was. Christopher said everything went smooth. Thanks to his family’s encouragement, he went to school and entered a famous university after studying hard for years. After graduation he set up a company and it has been running well. He said it was a pity that Allan got him a family when he couldn’t take him in himself. He learnt that Allan was still in a poor condition so he visited him that day.
Christopher said he’d give Allan a gift and asked him to get on his car. A few minutes later, they stopped near a beautiful house. Christopher said, “This is your house I bought for you. Years ago, I didn’t trust anyone, especially adults. But one adult showed me kindness. He said that I couldn’t survive long on the streets and got me to trust the right people.” Allan said he couldn’t take it. Christopher said it was in Allan’s name and he couldn’t thank Allan enough for his kindness, so he deserved it. Allan finally accepted it excitedly.
