I tend to go slowly when I drive in the mountains of my home, because the forest scenery is beautiful no matter what the season. This morning I was driving slower than usual because an early March snow had turned the roads slippery. Going up a mountain road, I had to slow down as I rounded a sharp, snowy turn. That was when I saw a majestic buck deer standing in the middle of the road. I came to a full stop and for a few seconds we just stared at each other. His eyes seemed wise and his composure refined. Finally, he nodded his head at me. I nodded in return and motioned with my hand for him to go on. He then leapt across the road, up the hill, and back into the woods. I drove on smiling at the magic of this moment and thanked that I had been going slowly enough not to hit this beautiful creature.
Most of us rush through this life not knowing what we are missing. We rarely get to enjoy what each day brings us. Wouldn’t it be better to go slowly through our days here Life is meant to be savored. Moments are meant to be cherished. Days are meant to be lived in love and joy not flown through at a hurried speed.
The next time you find yourself going too fast, slow down. Take the time to watch the sun rise over the horizon and fill the world with light. Take the time to look your children in their eyes, hug them, and tell them that you love them. Take the time to smile, laugh, and sing. Take the time to read, lounge, and relax. Take the time to live your life with love and delight in all the miracles each day brings you. If you do, your life will be so much better and more beautiful. And you might even end up not hitting a deer on your way home.
24.How did the author feel after his interaction with the deer
A. Disappointed. B. Optimistic. C. Grateful. D. Funny.
25.The word “savored” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “______”.
A. suffered all the time B. enjoyed to the fullest

A. Because he wanted to enjoy the forest scenery.
B. Because he saw a majestic buck deer.

B. Living in harmony with nature is a must.
C. Modern life is not as good as life in earlier times.
D. Life is supposed to be appreciated.

Every time we get on a plane, we’re asked to either turn off our phones or change them to flight mode—it’s for “security reasons”. But according to The Conversation website, having to turn our phones off on a plane is “a service issue, not a safety one”.
When we speak on our phones in the air, they can cause interference to the aircraft’s radios and pilots can hear this interference in their headphones. “It’s the same noise you’ll be familiar with, if you put your mobile too close to a speaker,” the Mirror noted. “It is not safety-critical, but is annoying for sure.” Though speaking on a phone during a flight isn’t dangerous from the viewpoint of service, it isn’t still a good idea. When we make or receive a call on the ground, we connect to a cell tower that deals with all calls within an 80-kilometer radius. As we move from place to place we are “handed on” to different cell towers. As US scientist Sven Bilen explains, for this system to work, there are “built-in” expectations: There shouldn’t be too many “hand offs” and people shouldn’t be traveling faster than car speeds. “Of course, phone users should be close to the ground.” he added. If we were to make phone calls while we flew, however, none of these expectations would be met. And even worse, our cellphones would stop working.
But now things are beginning to change. If we still can’t speak during a flight, we can use other phone functions. For example, Airbus A330 of Emirates Airlines has inflight WiFi to make passengers send and receive short messages in the air. In the future, as Bilen points out, it may be possible for air travelers to make and receive calls freely. The breakthrough could be “pico cells”, which are small cell towers on the plane itself. There would no longer be connections made between phones and the ground and therefore there would be no danger of disturbance of phone service. One day, perhaps, we will be chatting in the air as much as we chat on the ground.
28.Why is making a phone call NOT allowed on a plane
A. Because it will pose a threat to their safety.
B. Because it can guarantee a better service.
C. Because it fails to be connected to the cell tower.
D. Because it may cause annoying noise to pilots.
29.How many “built-in” expectations are mentioned to help make a call
A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.
30.What can we infer from the passage
A. People need to travel slower than airplane speeds while phoning.
B. Pico cells may contribute to free phone calls on a plane.
C. Undisturbed phone service has been provided by airlines.
D. Passengers can receive calls on Airbus A330 through inflight WiFi.
31.Where is the text most likely from
A. A newspaper. B. An official document.
C. A guidebook. D. A science fiction story.
D
Farming is undergoing a remarkable transformation thanks to cutting-edge technologies reshaping how fruit is picked and handled. While autonomous drones like Tevel’s Flying Robots are already harvesting fruit globally, innovations like UC San Diego’s GRIP-tape gripper represent the next frontier in gentle produce handling. Together, these advancements promise to make fruit production more efficient and precise, though one is a proven solution and the other is a glimpse into farming’s future.
Tevel’s Flying Autonomous Robots (FARs) are redefining fruit harvesting by combining artificial intelligence with advanced computer vision. These drones navigate through orchards, identifying and picking only the fruit that has reached peak ripeness. Their ability to weave carefully around branches allows them to harvest without bruising or harming the trees. Unlike human pickers, these drones can operate continuously, working day and night to get the job done faster and more consistently.
Farmers are empowered by detailed, real-time information about the harvest, including the size, color and ripeness of each fruit, all accessible through a mobile app. This data helps improve harvesting schedules and reduce waste. Multiple drones work together from a mobile platform, covering large orchard areas efficiently. Beyond picking, these robots also detect diseases and track the location of each fruit bin, providing farmers with valuable insights to manage their crops better.
While Tevel’s drones tackle harvesting, UC San Diego’s GRIP-tape gripper remains in the experimental stage as a solution for post-harvest handling. Inspired by steel measuring tapes, this prototype uses layered “fingers” to grasp delicate fruits gently. Early tests show promise in handling objects like lemons and tomatoes without damage, but it has yet to be widely adopted in farming. The gripper’s motorized reels allow its tape-based fingers to extend and convey items like a conveyor belt. Researchers highlight its low cost and safety around humans, but further development is needed to integrate it into commercial packing lines or harvesters.
Tevel’s drones are already transforming orchards, while the GRIP-tape gripper offers a vision of how delicate produce handling could evolve. The combination of real-world automation and experimental robotics highlights both the immediate benefits and long-term potential of agritech innovation.
32.What do we know about FARs
A. They can work around the clock. B. They can identify different fruits.
C. They redefine the artificial intelligence. D. They perform as efficiently as human workers.
33.What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. The real-time data collected by mobile apps.
B. The advantages of Tevel’s drones for farmers.
C. The working process of multiple drones in orchards.
D. The various attitudes of the farmers to Tevel’s drones.
34.What can be inferred about UC San Diego’s GRIP-tape gripper
A. It is inspired by human fingers. B. It is widely adopted in farming.
C. It tackles the harvesting process. D. It is cost-effective but still in progress.
35.What’s the writing purpose of this text
A. To promote the use of robotics in farming.
B. To compare two cutting-edge farming tools.
C. To introduce two innovative agricultural technologies.
D. To emphasize the long-term potential of autonomous drones.

That person was a young lady in her twenties. After eating, she went to the restroom. Without realizing, she had left her handphone on the table. Five minutes later, she came out and walked out of the cafe without looking back.
Mary saw the handphone on the table. She quickly told Keith, “Keith, the girl left behind her handphone.” Keith looked at the handphone. It was one of the latest models on the market. Looking very sleek, it was red in color with a black cover. The handphone must be expensive.
Keith had always wanted a handphone. But his parents refused. He stared at it for some minutes. Then he said slowly, pausing on every word, “I want to take the handphone,” Mary could not believe her eyes. She merely stared at her brother, “you can’t! What if the owner comes to look for it ”
Having made the decision, Keith quickly grabbed the handphone and put it in his schoolbag. Then, he took Mary’s hand and led her out of the cafe quickly. Outside the café, he ran to his bicycle. Mary had to run after him.
Once back home, Keith locked his house door with trembling hands. Looking at the handphone, he liked it so much. Now he had his own handphone. But Mary told him, “Keith, you cannot keep the handphone. What will you tell father about this handphone ”
Keith said quickly, “I will say a friend lent it to me.”
Mary said, “Now you are lying, too.” Oh dear! When had Keith turned so dishonest
Then Mary saw a house phone number on the plastic cover of the handphone, “This phone number is the girl’s phone number. Why don’t we just call this number We will talk to her and ask her to come and take back her handphone." She was trying her best to talk some sense into him.

I’m Li Hua, a student from Changshou Middle School. It’s my pleasure to introduce a local delicacy that best represents my hometown — Changshou pomelo.
There are two main reasons for this recommendation. For one thing, it tastes amazing: the thick peel is easy to remove, and the flesh is tender, juicy and sweet, with no bitter aftertaste. For another, it has a special meaning — “Changshou” means long life, and this pomelo carries our hometown’s wish for health and longevity.
If you ever have the chance to try it, you’ll definitely fall in love with it!
写作二：
Paragraph 1:
That night, Keith couldn’t go to sleep, reflecting in bed. He was uncertain about what he should do. Of course, he liked the new handphone. However, he was feeling sorry for the owner. When he thought how sad the young lady would be at the loss of her handphone, he was full of guilt and shame. The next morning, after а long and restless night, he was determined to return the handphone to the owner. After school, he told Mary, “I am going to phone the owner.”
Paragraph 2:
Mary was very happy to hear that. Back home, they phoned the owner’s house phone. A girl answered the phone. Keith asked, “Are you the owner of the handphone I’m Keith. I have your handphone. Can you come and get it ” The girl replied “Yes”excitedly, expressing her gratitude repeatedly. Ten minutes later, she was at the same cafe to meet Keith. Handing back the handphone to her and seeing her smile happily, Keith realized that honesty was indeed the best policy.
