The public footpath laid barely 20 meters from where I stood,promising a walk along the river,passing fields and through woodland,well away from any road. Yet there was something in my way-the River Thames.
I checked my map to see how to reach the path,but there was no other footpath that would lead me to the island on which it sat.It was only accessible by boat.
It was this path that came to mind when,a few weeks later,I decided to try cross-country swimming, which combines water and walking.
As I got into the river,its coolness welcome on the warm August day,the weight of my supplies dissipated.My back was fee,and I simply puled everything Ineeded in a bag behind me, feeling almost weightless.I relaxed into the water,my hair flowing around my face as I slowly floated alongside dragonflies, a moorhen and her chicks-none of which seemed to even acknowledge my presence.
The whole experience went by all too quickly and in no time Iwas drying off and walking back to the station.Though cross-country swimming was invented to provide a challenge,I believed it had given me something much more important-the confidence to try it by myself.
So I decided to return to my inaccessible island,the footpath by the Thames.I got into the waterway and swam,exploring the island's banks for a while.After five minutes of searching,the island let me in:I found my entrance point alongside a tree and pulled myself out.
Though the Thames loop wasn't that long a walk,and the swim was not too big a challenge,it represented more than that. It gave me the chance to pioneer a new route never open to me before, the opportunity to reach a picnic spot that otherwise would have been off-limits and,when it came to that footpath,the ability to access the previously inaccessible.
24.What initially prevented the author from accessing the public footpath
A.Overgrown fields.
C.A dense woodland.
B.A lack of signposts.
D.A fast-flowing river.
25.What does the underlined word“dissipated"in paragraph 4 most probably mean
A.Spread
B.Multiplied.
C.Remained.
D.Disappeared.
26 Which word best describes the author's cross-country swimming trial
A.Encouraging.
B.Exhausting.
C.Thrilling.
D.Frustrating
27.What does the island by the Thames mean to the author
A.A chance to get closer to nature.
C.A symbol of personal achievement.
B.A mental and physical burden.
D.An escape from the real world.
C
For many of us,the closest we get to wild animals is at a zoo.These places let us see amazing animals-from big cats to tiny lizards-and what they are like,It's an enjoyable and educational experience for us,but is it the best environment for these animals
Long ago,people could only see wild animals as stuffed dead exhibits in a museum.Later on,live animals were captured by explorers,brought home and put on show to the public in menageries (野生动物园),Animal welfare was not a priority.Modern zoos,however,have transformed the living environments for animals, making bigger enclosures,removing bars,and- to some extent-copying their natural habitats.
Some people have questioned the cruelty of keeping animals captive(养的)for entertainment,but zoos are keen to show that they help wildlife by educating us about
conservation.In the UK,the introduction oftheZooticensingAetof19sLalso required zoos to educate the public-Well-managed zoos are now also involved in supporting and funding conservation programs.
Probably the biggest claim from zoos today is that they help protect species in the wild that are under threat due to climate change.Robert Young,Chair in Wildlife Conservation at Salford University said:"There are quite a lot of different species around the planet which we wouldn't have today if it wasn't for zoos.”Some zoos have captive breeding(繁)programs which help to preserve the future of species that would otherwise face extinction.Actor Leonardo DiCaprio recently praised Chester Zoo in the LK for its conservation work.It brought"a rare fish species back from the dead”after breeding and releasing a school of golden skiffia fish back into their native river.
While the debate about having zoos continues,new opportunities to meet wildlife are being explored,like virtual reality.Jon Coe,a zoo designer,told the BBC:“Taking a walk through a herd of elephants in the Serengeti,I think,is going to be possible pretty soon."
28.What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A.The origins of menageries,
B.The benefits of modern zoos.
C.The problems with animal captivity.
D.The historical shift in treating wild animals
29.Why does the author mention the Zoo Licensing Actof1981
A.To emphasize the educational role of zoos.
B.To explain why zoos began to help wildlife
C.To introduce methods of conserving wildlife.
D.To state the need for stricter regulations of zoos
30.What's Robert Young's attitude toward having zoos
A.Critical.
B.Neutral.
C.Doubtful.
D.Supportive
31.What conservation achievement was atributed to Chester Zoo by actor Leonardo DiCaprio
A.Exploring ways for humans to meet wildlife.
B.Raising funds for captive breeding programs
C.Reviving and releasing a rare fish species.
D.Involving celebrities in raising wildlife awareness

The American Psychological Association(APA)has issued its first guidance on teens' social media use.What's most surprising in its databased recommendations is how little we know about how these apps affect our kids.
The relative newness of platforms like Snapchat and TikTok means little research is available about their long-term effects on teen and tween brains.Getting better data will require significant funding-and much more openness from tech companies
What little evidence we do have unsurprisingly suggests that social media trades on motivators(激励因素)that aren't great for young brains.Many kid start using social media“at the worst possible time when it comes to brain development",says Mitch Prinstein,a psychologist and neuroscientist at the University of North Carolina(UNC).
“Thing like the ‘like’ button and artifcial inteligence(in general)are going to affect young people's brains in a way that's very different from adult brains when it comes tothe desire to stay online and to say or do almost anything to get followers.”When it comes to social interactions(互 动),he compares kids' brains to a car with a huge gas pedal and weak brakes(刹车).
Earlier this year,Prinstein and his UNC colleagues published the results of one of the first studies of how the teenage brain reacts to social media.The team surveyed a group of middle schoolers to understand their social media habits,and then stuck them in an MRI machine to watch their brains as they reacted to social rewards or punishments.They found that 12-year-olds who habitually checked social media had different neural patterns,with more activity over time in parts of the brain associated with motivation,salience(or where attention is focused)and cognitive(认知的)control.
The team didn't weigh in on whether those differences were good or bad,or whether the relationship was causal or correlational.But their work points to the need for more research.It should also remind parents of the need to be keenly aware of social media's hidden influence on still-developing brains.
32.What sue regarding social media apps does the APA report highlight
A.Their effects on social connections.
B.The lack of data on their influence.
C.The dishonesty of their developers
D.The ineffectiveness of their motivators.
33.Which word can best describe young brains in relation to social interactions
A.Uncontrolled.
B.Sensitive
C.Unpredictable.
D.Productive
34.What did Prinstein's team discover about teenagers who regularly usesocial media
A.They are usually highly motivated
B.They find it difficult to concentrate
C.They have greater cognitive control
D.Their brains show unique features
35.What might be the best title for the text
A.Empowering Teens in the Digital Age
B.How to Guide Teens' Social Media Engagement
C.The Importance of Healthy Social Media Habits
D.The Hidden Influence of Social Media on Young Minds

when scrolling through TikTok,I often come across videos suggesting products to improve my self-care routine. 36 Here are some ways Ipractice self-care that I believe can truly improve overall mental wellness.
·Appreciate the outdoors
It is easy to feel uninspired if you spend most of your time in a small bedroom or dorm.Be intentional(有意的)about spending time outdoors by going on a walk or having a picnic. 37 .I find prioritizing(优先安排)time in the daylight to be especially important to keep me feeling grounded.
·Practice regular gratitude and forgiveness
When I am intentional about being thankful for the small things in life,Ihave much more energy to handle the more difficult parts of my day.Giving grace to the people around me also helps me become a better person. 38 .This will go far in the way you view and treat yourself.
· 39
While it may seem obvious,I find it essential to participate in activities that energize me,as so much of my day as a college student can feel stressful.If going to class is something that makes you really anxious,be sure to set aside some time to do a sport or create art in a way that makes you feel inspired or at peace.
·Care for those around you
Self-care is often viewed through a lens that we must be focusing on individual improvement.From my experience, turning inward often leads to negative emotions. 40 .Cook something to share with your friends and remind your loved ones of how much they mean to you.Prioritizing your relationships will change the way you feel about yourself.
A.Begin a new hobby or learn a new skill
B.Take part in activities that fill you with motivation
C.Sunlight and fresh air never fail to pick up your mood
D.But self-care should have nothing to do with consumption
E.Challenge this idea by doing nice things for others
F.Ty to practice being more accepting and forgiving of others
G.Recognizing aspects of your day that you appreciate can be uplifting

“We snap constantly,”photographing foxes,reindeer and polar bears,Sorby said.Those photos may give insight into how animals in the region are 49 warmer weather.
In November, they encountered a polar bear that had recently hunted a reindeer. That was 50 ,because polar bears normally eat seals.Scientists suspect bears may be forced to 51 their eating habits because warmer ocean currents are drastically shrinking sea ice where bears hunt seals.
