SO THAT’S WHY WE CALL THAT THAT
In 1997, two smarty-pants, needing a name for their new data-index website, came up with “googol”, which is the number one followed by a hundred zeroes. Perfect! But as they typed Googol into a domain-name search engine, they committed a critical mistake. And the mistake stuck. Don’t believe us Google it. Meanwhile, here are the stories behind other brand names.
Triscuit ELECTRICITY BISCUITS
Triscuit, a snack cracker, is short for “electricity biscuit”, because the first ones were proudly produced with hydro-electric power.
H agen-Dazs NOTHING
H agen-Dazs is short for... absolutely nothing. Reuben Mattus, who moved to Brooklyn from Poland, created the ice cream company in 1959. He wanted to give his company a Danish-sounding name in honour of Denmark’s reputation during the World War Ⅱ and settled on this nonsense phrase.
Nike VICTORY
Nike was named for the Greek goddess of victory. Legend has it that the shoe company’s famous “swoosh” logo represents the fleet-footed goddess’s wings.
Adidas ADI DASSLER
Adidas is an abbreviation of “Adi Dassler”, one of two Dassler brothers from Germany who founded competitive shoe empires after the World War Ⅱ (Adi’s brother Rudi founded Puma).
Lego PLAY WELL
Lego, a children’s toy that consists of small colored bricks that fit together, is a contraction of the Danish phrase leg godt, meaning “play well”.

A. To arouse curiosity of the brand names. B. To classify the following brands. C. To introduce a wonderful search engine. D. To help search for information.

Out in the woods stood a nice little Fir Tree. It was the sun shining on him and the fresh air surrounding him that made him gorgeous. In summer, children often came and sat down near him and said, “What a nice little fir!” In winter, when the snow lay glittering on the ground, a hare hopped over the little tree. But he never felt any pleasure. What the little Fir wanted so much was to grow into a big tree as his neighbors.
“Oh! Were I but such a high tree as the others are,” thought he. “Then I should be able to spread out my branches, and with the tops to look into the wide world!”
When Christmas came, quite young trees with the finest looking were cut down. And so was the Fir Tree. He found himself, in the middle of the living-room, stuck upright in a bucket that was filled with sand and decorated with the most splendid things-apples, colorful lights and at the very top a large golden star, which made him incomparably beautiful.
“What a splendor!” thought the Fir Tree, believing he would take root here and forever stand covered with decorations!
However, the splendor never came back again. After the Christmas, the servant dragged him out of the room, and up the stairs into the loft in a dark corner, where no daylight could enter.
“If it only were not so dark here, and so terribly lonely. Not even a hare!” he sighed. “They surely stored me here for the next Christmas.”
One day, the tree was pulled out and a man drew him towards the stairs, where the daylight shone. Feeling the fresh air and the first sunbeam, now he was out in the courtyard. Seeing all the beauty of the flowers and the freshness in the garden, he firmly believed he would be replanted there.
“Now a merry life will begin again,” thought the tree, spreading out his branches only to find they were all withered and yellow！When seeing the gardener getting close with an axe (斧头), he recalled his first youth in the wood and sighed so deeply! Each sigh was like a shot.
24. What can we know about the Fir Tree
A. He was willing to be a small tree.
B. He was satisfied to be a Christmas tree.
C. He was mad at the hare jumping over him.
D. He was eager to be the tallest tree in the woods.
25. Which word can best describe the Fir’s feeling when pulled out into the courtyard
A. Hopeful. B. Lonely. C. Free. D. Anxious.
26. What can be inferred about the Fir’s fate
A. He would be treated as firewood.
B. He would be replanted in the garden.
C. He would be taken back to the forest.
D. He would be stored for the next Christmas.
27. What can we conclude from this story

B. Live for today because tomorrow is not promised.
C. Life is not about falling down but getting back up.
D. If you dream and believe it, then you can achieve it.

China will increase resources to advance the construction of the 5G network, expand the application of 5G technology in various fields, and promote the research and development of 6G, officials and experts said at the 6th Digital China Summit, which ended on Friday in Fuzhou, Fujian province.
“China has built the world’s largest 5G network with the most advanced technologies. The number of the country’s 5G base stations had exceeded 2.64 million by the end of March this year,” said an official, Zhao Ce.
Zhao said the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will make more efforts to bolster the building of the 5G network in an orderly manner and accelerate its industrial applications, push forward the research and development of 6G, and strengthen international exchange and communication in 5G-related technology, standards and application.

“As the next-generation mobile communication technology, 6G integrates with telecommunication, perception, computation, artificial intelligence, big data and security,” said Cui Chunfeng, president of the future research institute of the China Mobile Research Institute, adding the research on 6G is still at a primary stage worldwide.
Although there is no universally accepted definition of 6G, the technology is predicted to provide faster speeds, lower latency (and more bandwidth than 5G. The 6G network will realize the deep integration of physical and virtual worlds, and build a new world featuring the intelligent connection of everything, Cui said.
Noting new cybersecurity challenges have popped up with the rapid development and application of 5G technology, Qi Xiangdong, chairman of Chinese cybersecurity company Qi-Anxin Technology Group (QATG), said the company will strengthen cooperation with the country’s major telecom carriers to help them deal with growing cybersecurity risks.

“Many people consider cats to be a largely nonsocial species,” Daniel Mills, a veterinary behaviorist at the University of Lincoln, tells Science. “There is clearly a lot going on that we are not aware of.”
To collect data on these furry subjects, researcher Lauren Scott of the University of Kansas Medical Center frequented a cat café located in Los Angeles for about a year and recorded videos of interactions between 53 cats. In total, Scott gathered 194 minutes of feline (猫科的) films that contained 186 interactions. With the help of her co-author, evolutionary psychologist Brittany N. Florkiewicz, she analyzed the cats’ facial signals. The pair discovered 276 expressions made up of a combination of 26 facial movements, including shifts in ear position, blinks, nose licks and whisker (胡须) and mouth movements. Of all expressions, about 45 percent or 126 were categorized as friendly, 37 percent were aggressive and 18 percent were ambiguous.
“These findings show it is good to look at a cat’s ears, eyes and whiskers to understand if they are feeling friendly,” Florkiewicz tells. “Their mouth provides a lot of information about whether a cat fight is likely. People may think that cats’ facial expressions are all about warning other cats and people off, but this shows just how social and tolerant pet cats can actually be.” The team also identified a “common play face” among cats, which was characterized by a dropped jaw and drawn back corners of the mouth.
Still, the scientists detected some patterns: Cats tended to move their ears and whiskers toward one another during friendly interactions and away during unfriendly ones. When the animals are aggressive, they often shrink their pupils (瞳孔) and flatten their ears. Cats display negative emotions with flattened ears and curled-back whiskers.
The new study could be used to help humans adopting cats find one that’s more likely to get along with existing pets, or it could help pet owners understand their feline companions better, Florkiewicz tells Science.
32. What did Lauren Scott do to collect data about cats’ facial expressions
A. She observed cats in their natural habitat.
B. She shot videos of cats’ interaction at a cat café.
C. She conducted experiments in a laboratory setting.
D. She interviewed cat owners about their pets’ behaviour.
33. If cats plan to make an attack, they will ________.
A. move its ears and whiskers forward
B. narrow its pupils and flatten its ears
C. close its ears and twist its whiskers
D. lower its jaw and draw back the corners of the mouth
34. What can we learn from the passage
A. Cats’ nonsocial nature is well confirmed.
B. Cats’ facial expressions are usually offensive.
C. Cats’ expression study will assist pet adopters.
D. Cats’ expressions won’t signal their negative emotions.
35. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Friendliness and Aggression of Cats
B. The Social Nature of Cats
C. Facial Signals and Interactions of Cats
D. The Common Behaviour of Cats

Play is so much more than just a way to kill the time. Behind every game and puzzle lies a powerful force shaping a child’s development. 36 Dive in, and you’ll discover the science behind it.
When children engage in play, they do more than just have fun. They’re actively constructing their brains. . Neural pathways (神经通络), those complex networks responsible for thought, learning, and emotion, are solidified during these leisure activities. Much like constructing a home requires more than just bricks, it’s about laying a strong foundation. For the maturing brain, play is that vital foundation. 37 These connections don’t just serve immediate childlike wonder; they lay the groundwork for future cognitive and emotional adaptability.
Beyond cognitive and emotional development, leisure activities are crucial in securing a child’s physical health and coordination (协调性). Whether it’s running or jumping rope, these actions develop a child’s fine motor skills. Such physical engagements push children to be more aware of their body movements and surroundings. 38 Through play, kids develop a symbiotic (共生的) relationship between mind and body.
In the dynamic ecosystem of a child’s growth, leisure activities weave in threads of academic enhancement without the traditional pressures of formal education. 39 Beyond the fun, kids are absorbing lessons in logic, pattern recognition, and critical thinking. Similarly, engaging in board games or interactive storytelling sessions introduces them to fundamental math, language, and strategy concepts in a relaxed atmosphere. This stress-free combination of play and learning allows kids to develop academically without realizing they’re on an educational journey.
Play is more than just a leisure activity for kids. It’s an essential tool that helps better brain development, physical health and so much more. 40
A. But why, exactly, is play so vital for kids
B. And how, precisely, do you dive in games and puzzles
C. The diversity of play equips the brain with neural connections.
D. Take, for instance, the seemingly simple act of assembling a puzzle.
E. Therefore, kids who play more will deal with the difficulties better in the future.
F. The constant feedback creates a rich environment for enhancing physical capabilities.
G. By understanding it, you can provide your child with the best foundation for a bright future.

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。
Feeling trapped in her life, Tiffany Kersten would like to do something different to refresh her life. For an enthusiast for birds, there was no more a better choice than a getaway in the suburb in Wichita, in search of a rare species called the fork-tailed flycatcher (叉尾霸鹟), not to mention its healing effects of getting so close to those lovely creatures, and to the nature.
Tiffany Kersten drove east through Kansas at a fast speed, and watched the Rocky Mountains gradually move away from her rear-view mirror; now she passed through a sea of plains. She’d made it all the way to the suburb of Wichita-and slowed down considerably—when she noticed a county police car tailing her.
Kersten slowed her SUV, hoping the officer would speed past. For a moment, it seemed he would. But he flashed his lights. Kersten’s stomach rolled.
Pulling over to the roadside, she took a deep breath. She couldn’t afford to get a ticket (罚单). What worried her more was that only a few hours of daylight remained. If she were going to see this thing through, she had to go now. The police officer approached her window. “Are you looking for the flycatcher ” he asked.
In fact, she was. After flying from her home in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas to Denver, Kersten had driven 250 miles to Kansas in search of the rare species—the fork—tailed flycatcher. She hoped to check it off her Big Year list—a bird—watching term for the effort to spot as many species as possible in a calendar year. Kersten was chasing a sighting that someone had posted online earlier that day, indicating that a flycatcher might still be hanging out along this stretch of highway. To her surprise and relief, the officer explained that he too was a birder. He’d even been the one to post the sighting. He gave her detailed instruction to the exact location where he’d seen the flycatcher.
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。
Instead of writing her a ticket, the officer wished her good luck on her way to the flycatcher. Back home, as she posted the picture on her social media, “I was seeking birds; I was free.”

Dear Customer Service,
I’m writing to express my dissatisfaction with the electronic dictionary I purchased from your online store last week.
The main issue I have encountered is with the battery, as it requires frequent recharging. Additionally, the poor sound quality has made it difficult for me to obtain the assistance I expected, leading to significant inconvenience and frustration. I attempted to address these concerns with the shop owner, but my problem was not resolved. So, I would like to kindly request either a replacement for the electronic dictionary or a refund.
Thank you for your timely attention to this matter and hope for a swift resolution.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

One possible version:
Instead of writing her a ticket, the officer wished her good luck on her way to the flycatcher. Kersten was filled with a deep sense of gratitude as she followed the officer’s directions to the exact location where the rare fork-tailed flycatcher had been sighted. The sun was setting, casting a warm glow over the plains, and she felt excited as she approached the spot. To her great joy, on a near branch perched the fork-tailed flycatcher, a rare and elegant creature. Immediately, she set up her camera. She set up her camera to capture this wonderful flycatcher on film.
Back home, as she posted the picture on her social media, “I was seeking birds; I was free.” She reflected on the trans-formative power of nature and the kindness of strangers. Through the experience, she felt deeply connected to nature in a way that refreshed her spirit. As she shared her photos and stories with fellow bird enthusiasts, she knew that this getaway had been the perfect refreshment for her soul and she was confident it would also make a difference to her fellow bird enthusiasts.

第一节
Dear Customer Service,
I’m writing to express my dissatisfaction with the electronic dictionary I purchased from your online store last week.
The main issue I have encountered is with the battery, as it requires frequent recharging. Additionally, the unclear sound quality has made it difficult for me to obtain the assistance I expected, leading to significant inconvenience and frustration. I attempted to address these concerns with the shop owner, but my problem was not resolved. So, I would like to kindly request either a replacement for the electronic dictionary or a refund.
Thank you for your timely attention to this matter and hope for a swift resolution.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
第二节
One possible version:

Kersten was filled with a deep sense of gratitude as she followed the officer’s directions to the exact location where the rare fork-tailed flycatcher had been sighted. The sun was setting, casting a warm glow over the plains, and she felt excited as she approached the spot. To her great joy, on a near branch perched the fork-tailed flycatcher, a rare and elegant creature. Immediately, she set up her camera. She set up her camera to capture this wonderful flycatcher on film.
Back home, as she posted the picture on her social media, “I was seeking birds; I was free.” She reflected on the trans-formative power of nature and the kindness of strangers. Through the experience, she felt deeply connected to nature in a way that refreshed her spirit. As she shared her photos and stories with fellow bird enthusiasts, she knew that this getaway had been the perfect refreshment for her soul and she was confident it would also make a difference to her fellow bird enthusiasts.
