阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Winning entries for the British Ecological Society's photography competition Red Night
Photographed by Roberto Roa. It was declared this year's overall winner. The image captures (拍摄) both the beauty of the impressive snake and its fear of human threats like fires. The ecologist says, “During my visit to Madagascar, I had the pleasure of finding this snake and photographing it. To offer a dramatic scene reflecting the conditions that these snakes are suffering, I used some skills to capture the environment.”
The Rhino's Annual Haircut
Photographed by ecologist Molly Penny. The demand for rhino horn s (犀牛角) has reduced the population of rhinos to just 30, 000 globally. To try to save the endangered species, ecologists in South Africa have decided to saw off a part of the animals’ horns, which grow every year. It was captured beautifully in the black-and-white photo by Molly Penny from the University of the West of England. Cruel as it seems, it reduces the risk of the animals being cruelly murdered.
For the Love of Flamingos
Photographed by Peter Hudson. It captures a heart-shaped cloud of pink flamingos (火烈鸟) in Kenya, which is truly a sight like none other. The ecologist says, “Flamingos are all legs and necks but meanwhile beautiful and fascinating and I admit I have a deep passion for them, so I was thrilled when I watched this group in the shape of a heart.”
Flames in Flumes
Photographed by Nilanjan Chatterjee. It captures a water redstart (红尾鸟) waiting to catch an insect near a small waterfall. It was the best overall student submission (提交). The photographer wanted to show the struggle the river birds are likely to face from the slowdown in water flow due to planned dams in rivers across India.
21. How is Red Night different from the others
A. It was taken by a biologist.
B. It is a black-and-white photo.
C. It shows wild animals' suffering.
D. It was photographed after a fire.
22. What can be seen in The Rhino's Annual Haircut
A. The tips of saving an endangered rhino.
B. The cruelty of killing an endangered rhino.
C. The method of helping a rhino's horn grow.
D. The scene of cutting a part of a rhino's horn.
23. Which photo was taken by a student
A. Red Night. B. The Rhino's Annual Haircut.
C. For the Love of Flamingos. D. Flames in Flumes.
B
“From delighting in the creativity of others, seeing something from a different viewpoint, sharing that experience or building connections, I know I always leave our galleries feeling energized, inspired and uplifted,” says Karin Hindsbo, the director of Tate Modern——and she’s certainly not alone. According to a recent study, looking at art can light up the pleasure centre in the brain and release dopamine, the feel-good chemical——which is why visiting a gallery can be a valuable act of self-care.
Nottingham-based art psychotherapist Sofie Dobbelaere agrees that going to a gallery to view art can be a powerful healing (治愈) experience. “When we look at art, we connect with our humanity, and therefore are pulled into dialogue with something outside of ourselves,” she says. “This can help us feel connected and like we are part of something important.”
We live in a fast-paced culture, often consuming great works of art as quickly as we do content on our phones. But the act of engaging with art often disobey our own deadlines and boundaries of time, inviting us to look a little longer. Next time you go to a gallery, try practicing “slow looking”, spending several minutes or even hours thinking over just one piece. Galleries are full of amazing works, but observing just one on a deeper level can be incredibly meaningful.
According to a recent study, although 95% of UK adults agree that visiting museums and galleries is beneficial, 40% of us visit them less than once a year—which is especially regretful as so many of these incredible spaces and artworks, including the main collections in the Tate galleries, are completely free to view and open to all. “These gloomy (阴沉的) winter months are the perfect time to get lost in our free displays, especially if you've never visited before,” says Hindsbo.
24. Why is visiting a gallery an act of self-care
A. It relaxes the brain. B. It offers company.
C. It pleases the visitor. D. It makes visitors wiser.
25. How should you act when visiting a gallery
A. Be polite. B. Take your time.
C. Leave before the deadline. D. Stay longer than permitted.
26. What does the author find regretful
A. Some collections are not open regularly.
B. Many seldom visit museums and galleries.
C. Less than half never visit museums and galleries.
D. Most think visiting museums and galleries is beneficial.
27. What may be the best title of the text
A. Free tour——visiting museums and galleries
B. Culture cure—a cure few have experienced
C. Why culture helps improve health condition
D. How art can be a powerful healing experience
C
Passive learning and active learning are two totally different patterns of learning in the world of teaching. Traditionally, learning has been mostly passive in nature. However, in the last 2-3 decades, there has been a push to encourage active learning in the classroom. Passive learning refers to learning in which the student does little to acquire knowledge. The most common form of passive learning is direct instruction. In passive learning, the student is viewed as an empty container of knowledge that the teacher must fill with his or her knowledge. Freire called this pattern of learning banking education as the student serves as an account in which the teacher or banker places knowledge or money. There's a heavy stress on memorizing information or knowledge. The student should take notes and be ready to repeat what the teacher has said. The teacher is the wise man on the stage.
Passive learning always sounds bad but sometimes it can be beneficial. When people have no former knowledge of a subject, passive learning can provide a foundation for future active learning activities.
Active learning is learning in which the student is actively involved in the learning mon examples of this learning pattern include any form of discussion in the classroom.
Active learning encourages students to use their current knowledge to build new understanding. There's a reduction of lecturing in an active learning classroom. Rather, students interact with each other and the teacher to develop their understanding of the content. Active learning also faces some challenges. One is that active learning is time-consuming. Developing activities and leading discussions can force the class to move slower. If the course covers a large amount of content, this can be challenging for teachers.
In conclusion, there's room in the world of education for both passive and active learning. But too much reliance on either one will probably be a disadvantage for students.
28. What's the disadvantage of banking education
A. Failing to make classes move quickly.
B. Weakening teachers' interest in education.
C. Focusing too much on memorizing knowledge.
D. Causing bad relationships between teachers and students.
29. When does passive learning happen
A. When learning a new lesson.
B. When writing about reflection.
C. When answering a teacher's question.
D. When planning active learning activities.
30. Which would the author most probably agree with
A. Parents should support teachers' education.
B. Teachers shouldn't bother students' learning process.
C. We must make passive learning disappear from classes.
D. We should balance passive learning and active learning.
31. What does the underlined word “time-consuming” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Taking too much time. B. Highly effective.
C. Making no difference. D. Rather expensive.
D
Since her retirement, an old family friend has begun visually journaling her travels. She isn't an “artist”, but that doesn't reduce her joy in her experiences or the truth and appeal of her sketches (素描). It was inspiring and I took it as a good idea for later. When I saw the recent Van der Weel and Van der Meer ( 2024) study about handwriting and cognitive activation (认知激活), I thought about my friend, the passage of time, and aging and realized that it was time to hunt up all my media ( pens, pencils, watercolors, bound journals, and sketchpads) and shift some activities from keyboard to paper as an investment in brain health.
Van der Weel and Van der Meer found writing by hand (rather than tapping away on your keyboard) increases brain connectivity. It may be time to consider deleting some of those list-making and journal apps from your phone and return to paper and notebooks. Healthy media use of any kind is, after all, about balance. I realized that I write very little by hand but if doing so activates the whole brain, then it may join the list of activities, like doing crossword puzzles and learning a new language, which help delay cognitive decline.
Writing helps people process life's emotional ups and downs through sense-making—the greater the cognitive effort to find meaning, the greater appreciation of the benefits and improved mood. Meaning and positive emotions are central to well-being.
However, I had never considered the physical act of handwriting as a brain health aging activity. The greater brain activity from handwriting compared to typing is thought to explain why handwritten notes are linked to increased learning among students. Learning and memory are both cognitive functions. Learning describes how we gain new skills and knowledge. Memory is how we store and bring back what we learn. Aging messes with both and can prevent new learning as well as the memory of what you just learned. However, social, physical, and cognitively challenging activities have been shown to reduce the negative effects of aging on cognitive function and increase cognitive reserve (认知储备).
32. What made the author begin to notice brain health
A. The passage of time.
B. The aging of him/her.
C. The recent study about handwriting.
D. His/Her friend's visual travel sketch.
33. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. The benefits of writing.
B. Ups and downs of life.
C. The meanings of positive emotions.
D. The advantages of writing over computers.
34. How is the last paragraph developed
A. By giving advice. B. By listing numbers.
C. By quoting experts' words. D. By making a comparison.
35. What may the author say to students
A. Learn by memorizing.
B. Add handwriting to your list.
C. Be aware of the secret of memory.
D. Join in the healthy aging activities.

While writing, we may always ask ourselves “Are there any better expressions to convey what we mean ” In a writing class, a teacher tells a golden rule of writing.
Teacher: Show but don't tell, class. This is the golden rule of creative writing. You need to show the reader (the person who is reading) what you want to say, not tell him, or her.
David (student): 36 Writing is about words, right We can only tell things using words. How can we show them We're not painters!
Teacher: Stop laughing, everybody, and listen carefully. I'll give you two examples: ‘He was feeling very worried.’ Now I will say the same thing in a different way: ‘He was biting his fingernails and sweating.’ 37 Which part shows the reader how he was feeling
Anne(student):The second example, the one about the fingernails and the sweating. 38 .
Teacher: Yes! Excellent! Well done, Anne. You're a brilliant student.
David: I don't understand.
Teacher: And here, everybody, we see a very good example of both showing and telling. Not only has David told us that he doesn't understand, he's also shown us: with that silly look on his face. 39 . Well done!
David: Stop laughing! It's not funny! Be quiet, Anne!
Teacher: David! Don't shout at Anne. She's done nothing wrong. Now, everybody, let's play a game: 40 . OK Right, let's go. ‘She was very sad.’ Now, who’d like to speak out your sentence
A. This is showing
B. A lovely example
C. Why not try doing it
D. But how do we do that
E. I'll tell you something and you have to say it in a different way
F. Now, which example tells the reader about how the man was feeling
G. Look and decide which ‘tell’ sentence matches which ‘show’ sentence

Plants are actually grown in space already. Do you know the fact 56 astronauts aboard the ISS (国际空间站) ate the first space-grown salad on August 10, 2015 And yes, they liked what they ate.
Growing a plant in space is not an easy task. 57 (normal), growing eatable and nutritious plants is difficult enough here on Earth, so imagine how challenging it would be 58 (grow)those greens in microgravity (微重力) and under highly 59 (control) soil conditions, humidity(湿度), light, and various gases.
Traditionally, roots grow and spread downwards due to gravity. Still, in space, where 60 effect of gravity is slight, things change, and they do so quite strongly. Can you imagine a plant floating in a spaceship, with its roots 61 (stick) out in every direction Therefore, keeping this entire system in a good condition is very important. To achieve this, Rick Mastracchio, the 62 (found) of a special container named “Veggie”, made great efforts with his partner 63 a few years.
Cultivating a plant in space is just one part of a more complex and 64 (large) effort. Astronaut farmers must ensure that the plants grow n in such artificial conditions are safe to consume, have no side effects and 65 (be) pleasant to eat… at least a little.

“Look at this,” I said to my friend Mandy, holding up the paper I had got as we entered the library. “There’s a five-day art camp at White Cliff this summer.” Mandy took the paper and glanced at it. “That’s the same time as the Hill County Fair. But we always go to the fair,” she said.
Later, I called my friends Emily and Yoshiko. Yoshiko was going to the fair, and Emily would be out of town in July. I sighed and dropped my head down on the red paper.
“ Will I attend the art camp Probably not,” I said to myself. “None of my friends are going. ”I had a hard time jumping into something with no familiar faces around.
“Maybe next year.” I sighed. “I'm going outside to draw the Westons' pine tree. I'll be out front.”
I opened the door and blinked (眨眼睛) at the bright sunshine as I sat on the front steps. I thought about art camp and wished I felt a little braver. By the time I started drawing, I had convinced myself I was happy to skip the camp. I drew the pine's strong trunk. I added the beautiful branches, making sure the upper ones lifted gently toward the sun. Once I started drawing, I didn't notice the fly buzzing around me or the sound of the lawn mower(割草机) a few houses down. That's why I jumped when Mr. Weston said, “You've done a great job showing the strength of that tree on paper.”
“Thanks.” I smiled, glancing up. Mr. Weston was out for a walk. He used a cane (拐杖) , and I cut the grass for him every week.
“That pine was there when we moved in,” Mr. Weston said, “You have to spread out the roots near the surface so the tree can get enough water and grow tall. If you plant the root ball too deep, the tree will die.”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I learned that roots grow out, not down.
That night, I took a deep breath and filled in the application for the art camp.
