Lindsey Stallworth, a high school student from Alabama, is on her way to a promising career in paleontology (古生物学) due to an unexpected discovery on family property. For years, she had been collecting fossils on their land in Monroe County, unaware of significant scientific value. However, her teacher at the Alabama School of Math and Science, Dr. Andrew Gentry, a paleontologist himself, took an interest when she showed him her collection.
“Upon examining the fossil shark teeth Lindsey presented, I quickly identified one and became eager to learn about its origin,” said Andrew.
Lindsey guided her teacher through the rural area where she had unearthed various relics, including shark teeth. Before long, they encountered an especially significant find on the grounds: a large bone from a 34-million-year-old whale skeleton! This led the pair to launch the huge project of uncovering the rest of the bones. After two months of hard work, they’ve managed to find the animal’s skull (颅骨).
“Assuming the entire skeleton is present, it may require several years for us to have the entire animal back in the lab,” Andrew explained.
Lindsey secured a research scholarship to persist in her fossil-digging expeditions alongside her instructor. Her enthusiasm for the project was at an all-time high, though she had never imagined a childhood pastime would lead her down this road. “We would go out and pick up shark teeth and fossil shells, but we never knew anyone that could tell us anything about them,” she recalled. “We just thought they were cool.”
“The Research Fellows Program allows Lindsey to gain real-world experience in scientific research and even present that research at professional conferences,” Andrew said. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a high school student to stand out when applying to college and maybe even discover a new career path.”
24．Why was Andrew fascinated by Lindsey’s finds
A．He had a personal interest in geography.
B．He recognized the significance of one fossil.
C．He was hoping to be financially independent.
D．He wanted to start a paleontology club at school.
25．What inspired Andrew and Lindsey to start a fossil uncovering project
A．A primitive whale’s bone. B．Some fossil shells.
C．An animal’s skull. D．Some shark teeth.
26．Which of the following best describes Andrew and Lindsey’s project
A．Risky but interesting. B．Dangerous but rewarding.
C．Demanding but motivating. D．Boring but groundbreaking.
27．What is the last paragraph mainly about
A．The unexpected joy of discovering fossils.
B．The additional benefits of applying to college.
C．Lindsey’s potential to become a high school teacher.
D．Lindsey’s unique opportunities for future development.
C
In addition to applying for a traditional guide dog, the visually impaired (有视觉障碍的) people will soon have another option to help with their daily life — a robot guide dog.
About the size of an English Bulldog but a bit wider, the six-legged robot guide dog from Shanghai Jiao Tong University's School of Mechanical Engineering can navigate (导航) users to destinations without running into barriers. It also has voice interaction functions and can recognize traffic light signals. With cameras, sensors, and AI technology, the robot dog can see，listen , and speak with users on daily journeys outside and be a companion at home.
Professor Gao Feng, the head of the research team at SJTU, points out that with six legs , the robot guide dog can walk smoothly with high stability. “Even if three legs are raised, the structure still has three points of contact with the ground, creating a very stable base .” Gao said. He adds that operators can use a cane (手杖) to control the walking and running speed of the robot.
In China, there are currently about 17.31 million visually impaired people, yet only around 400 guide dogs are available due to high training costs. People have to wait for a long time after applying for one. Unlike traditional dogs, the production of robot guide dogs could be scaled, especially in a major manufacturing center like China. “It's a bit like cars. We can mass-produce them in the same way as cars so that it will become more affordable,” Gao said. “This could be a huge market because tens of millions of people might need guide dogs.”
Li Fei, among the visually impaired people participating in the field test, believes such high technology will likely change their lives soon. “The research teams are thoughtful and are continuously making improvements,” Li said. “The robot dog is electronic, making it easier to get into public places than traditional guide dogs, I will probably try the robot guide dog when it becomes available. They can be precise and reliable as they seldom make subjective mistakes.”
28. What do we know about the robot guide dog
A. It is smaller than an English Bulldog. B. It can identify traffic light signals.
C. It relies on Al technologies to move. D. It can interact with other robot guide dogs.
29. Why does the robot guide dog have six legs
A. To walk more stably. B. To support heavier loads.
C. To better control its speed. D. To quickly deal with urgency.
30. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The potential market for robot guide dogs.
B. The high cost of training traditional guide dogs.
C. The difficulty of applying for a robot guide dog.
D. The standard of mass-producing robot guide dogs.
31. What can we infer about the robot guide dog according to Li Fei
A. It has been widely available to the public.
B. It needs further improvement in accuracy.
C. It will benefit visually impaired people a lol.
D. It will replace traditional guide dogs in the future.
D
When it comes to building structures, humans often consider themselves the best, but the abilities of social insects are amazing. For example, termites (白蚁) construct tall nests. However, the true masters of insect architecture are the bees.
A team of evolutionary biologists, led by Viviana Di Pietro, has discovered that these small-brained insects can build in various architectural styles, similar to humans. These styles are passed down from generation to generation, indicating that insects can have cultural differences — a concept once believed to be unique to humans, as noted by Andrew Whiten.
In a study of over 400 bee colonies in Brazil, most nests were layered like cakes, while others were spiral (螺旋状). The researchers filmed the bees and found no difference in the speed of cell construction, suggesting that neither style is more efficient than the other.
To determine if genetics played a role, researchers transferred workers from one nest type to another. The relocated bees adapted to the local building style, and so did the young bees. These findings are exciting for those studying animal culture, as they demonstrate that bees can pass down construction techniques without direct teaching. This challenges the traditional view of culture, which is often defined as behavior directly passed from one individual to another.
Dr. Whiten believes that the new findings suggest complex animal behaviors, like beaver (海狸) dams, may also result from indirect learning. Some scientists say that certain human traditions could be passed down similarly, although this is not sure. Bees keep surprising us; it has been observed that bumblebees (大黄蜂) learn from older bees, challenging the idea that such learning is unique to humans. Perhaps bees deserve recognition as top architects too!
32．What did the team of Viviana Di Pietro find
A．Culture is only found in human societies.
B．Bees build more efficiently than humans.
C．Bees exhibit varied construction traditions.
D．Animal behaviors come from direct teaching.
33．What was the traditional view of culture according to Paragraph 4
A．Inherited through genetic traits. B．Learned from individual interactions.
C．Passed down through written records. D．Developed from environmental factors.
34．What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．Bees challenge human uniqueness in learning.
B．Bees cannot communicate with each other at all.
C．Animal behaviors are mostly natural occuring.
D．Human traditions can be directly taught to others.
35．What could be the best title for the passage
A．The Secret Lives of Bees B．The Intelligence of Bees
C．The Cultural Architecture of Bees D．The Complexity of Insect Structures

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Photography for me has always been a key. It opens up doors, gives me an excuse to travel with more purpose, and lets me see behind the scenes. 36 —“Better get back to taking photos. Nice to chat!”
What is my advice to beginners I didn’t study photography; I’m not formally trained; 37 But that’s not what photography is about for me. If you want to be a photographer, be constantly asking yourself the question: “What is the story here ” It doesn’t matter if you are shooting a dish at your favorite restaurant or the food waste processing plant that deals with wat’s left over— 38 What does that mean If I’m photographing a dinner party for Social Supply, it’s important to capture not just the plate of food, but to step back and capture the scene around it. If I’m taking photos of a mushroom harvest in Yunnan, I make sure to find an angle that shows just how much they’ve harvested, but also a few close-ups of the weathered hands that are carefully sorting.
39 I’ve taken hundreds of thousands of photos this year alone. The more you shoot the better you will be. So, start shooting—anything and everything, but specially your fiends’ businesses and projects.
Do I have a good camera Yes, but some people still think that the photos I post from my phone were taken on that camera, so don’t confuse a good device with being a good photographer. 40 so start there, and start today.
A．Let the story guide you.
B．I have virtually no art experience.
C．Like anything, photography requires practice.
D．Photography becomes an incredible drive to explore.
E．Some of my favorite photographers just use their phone.
F．It also helps to slip out of awkward small talk at parties.
G．I feel deeply connected with whatever is captured through my camera lens.

One day my mother and I were out having a girls’ day, and we decided to go to a seafood restaurant. We got there just as the lunch rush started, so there was a line to get in. I looked over to the side and spied a very thin lady with no coat. She was holding a sign that read: “Homeless and hungry. Please help .”I looked around at everyone, and no one looked like they cared in the least. I knew that if I didn’t do something. I will be regretful forever. I went over to her and asked if she would like to come out of the cold and get something to eat. She looked for a second like she was unsure I was talking to her. She put her head down and said in the lowest voice, “Yes.”
I helped her to her feet and walked her up to my mother, who was in line. We stood there together until we were seated. When the waitress came, she looked at the woman as if she were a disease waiting to attack her. She asked what we wanted to eat but completely neglected this woman and acted like she didn’t exist. Then the owner came over and asked if we wanted this woman to sit at our table. I assured her we did. The owner then asked what her name was, to which I replied that we hadn’t gotten to ask that yet because the waitress had come as soon as we sat down.
I told the waitress to take the woman’s order and get her a cup of coffee. After the waitress life, we got talking, and I found out that her name was Judy. She had been released from the army because she had cancer. When she came back home, she could not find a job because of her poor condition and she lost her house. She was supposed to get a ride to a shelter, but she missed the bus.

W: Dr. Purdy, what would you say is the most striking thing about volcanoes
M: I think it’s the fact that they can erupt at any time.
W: Yes.
M: But not all volcanoes are dangerous killers.
W: Really
M: Take Mount Etna in Sicily for example. It’s called the “Friendly Giant”, not because it’s big—though it is—but because its lava(火山岩浆) moves very slowly. This gives people time to escape. It’s not a killer volcano.
W: Oh, I didn’t know that about its lava.
M: It’s true. Also, people have recorded the number of deaths caused by Mount Etna for
over 3,000 years, and it has only killed 73 people in all.
W: Wow!
M: Volcanoes are always changing. On the site of Mount Fuji in Japan, there were 2 other volcanoes there before the present one.
W: Amazing!
M: Mount Fuji is actually a very popular place for tourists, including the Japanese. It has about 400,000 visitors a year.

W: Will you need any warm clothes for the winter
M: Well, the weather doesn’t get too cold, but it often snows in the mountains, so I’m going to pack a couple of warm sweaters, a jacket, and a hat. I don’t have room in my suitcase to pack a coat, so I’m going to wait until I get there and buy it when I really need it.
W: Are you going to take anything else
M: They say it rains cats and dogs in spring, but again, I’ll just go to pick up a raincoat later on.

W: Millions of high school students have read To Kill a Mockingbird. The novel by Harper Lee offers moral lessons about racial justice and respect. It tells the story of a young girl named Scout and her father, Atticus Finch, a lawyer. He defends a black man wrongfully accused of raping a white woman. In the end, an all-white jury sentences Tom Robinson to death.The book is set in the American South in the 1930s. But it was published over 50 years ago, on July 11th, 1960. It has been translated into more than forty languages and has sold over forty million copies. It won a Pulitzer Prize and is often required reading in high school. Since then, Monroeville, Harper Lee’s hometown, has changed a lot. A number of African-Americans serve in the local government. The courthouse, made famous by the book, is now a museum. A small shop and a fast-food restaurant called Mel’s Dairy Dream have replaced Harper Lee’s childhood home.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了Alabama高中学生Lindsey Stallworth在自家土地上意外发现了3400万年前的鲸鱼化石，与其古生物学家老师Andrew Gentry共同挖掘研究，这一经历帮助她开启古生物学职业生涯。
24．推理判断题。根据第一段中“For years, she had been collecting fossils on their land in Monroe County, unaware of significant scientific value. However, her teacher at the Alabama School of Math and Science, Dr. Andrew Gentry, a paleontologist himself, took an interest when she showed him her collection.(多年来，她一直在门罗县的土地上收集化石，却不知道这些化石具有重大的科学价值。然而，当她向阿拉巴马州数学与科学学院的老师、古生物学家安德鲁·金特里博士展示她的藏品时，他很感兴趣)”以及第二段““Upon examining the fossil shark teeth Lindsey presented, I quickly identified one and became eager to learn about its origin,” said Andrew.(安德鲁说：“在检查了林赛展示的鲨鱼牙齿化石后，我很快发现了一颗，并渴望了解它的起源。”)”可推知，安德鲁对林赛的发现如此着迷是因为他认识到了一块化石的重要性。故选B项。
25．细节理解题。根据第三段“Before long, they encountered an especially significant find on the grounds: a large bone from a 34-million-year-old whale skeleton! This led the pair to launch the huge project of uncovering the rest of the bones.(不久，他们在地面上发现了一个特别重要的发现：一块来自3400万年前鲸鱼骨架的大骨头！这促使两人启动了揭开其余骨头的巨大项目)” 可知，一块原始鲸鱼的骨头激发了安德鲁和林赛开始化石发掘项目。故选A项。
26．推理判断题。根据第四段““Assuming the entire skeleton is present, it may require several years for us to have the entire animal back in the lab,” Andrew explained.(安德鲁解释说：“假设整个骨骼都存在，我们可能需要几年时间才能将整个动物带回实验室。”)”以及第五段“Lindsey secured a research scholarship to persist in her fossil-digging expeditions alongside her instructor. Her enthusiasm for the project was at an all-time high, though she had never imagined a childhood pastime would lead her down this road. “We would go out and pick up shark teeth and fossil shells, but we never knew anyone that could tell us anything about them,” she recalled. “We just thought they were cool.”(林赛获得了一项研究奖学金，与她的导师一起坚持她的化石挖掘探险。她对这个项目的热情达到了历史最高点，尽管她从未想过童年的消遣会引领她走上这条路。她回忆道：“我们会出去捡鲨鱼牙齿和化石贝壳，但我们从来不知道有人能告诉我们任何关于它们的事情。”。“我们只是觉得它们很酷。”)”可知，两人的项目可能需要几年时间，是要求高的，但林赛对项目充满热情，两人都觉得挖掘出来的化石很酷，由此可推知，这一项目是激励人心的。故选C项。
27．主旨大意题。根据最后一段““The Research Fellows Program allows Lindsey to gain real-world experience in scientific research and even present that research at professional conferences,” Andrew said. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a high school student to stand out when applying to college and maybe even discover a new career path.”(安德鲁说：“研究员计划使林赛能够获得科学研究的实际经验，甚至在专业会议上展示这项研究。”。“对于高中生来说，这是一个千载难逢的机会，在申请大学时脱颖而出，甚至可能发现一条新的职业道路。”)”可知，本段主要介绍了林赛未来发展可能拥有的独特机会。故选D项。

【解析】28.B 根据文中“With cameras, sensors, and AI technology, the robot dog can see，listen, and speak with users on daily journeys outside and be a companion at home. It also has voice interaction functions and can recognize traffic light signals.”可知机器人导盲犬能识别交通信号灯，B项正确；它约英国斗牛犬大小但稍宽，A项错误；它是通过相机、传感器和AI技术综合来移动等，不是仅依靠AI技术移动，C项错误；未提及能与其他机器人导盲犬互动，D项错误。
29.A由“Professor Gao Feng, the head of the research team at SJTU, points out that with six legs, the robot guide dog can walk smoothly with high stability. ‘Even if three legs are raised, the structure still has three points of contact with the ground, creating a very stable base.’”可知机器人导盲犬有六条腿是为了更稳定地行走，A项正确，不是为了支撑更重负载、更好控制速度或快速处理紧急情况，B、C、D项错误。
30.A第四段主要讲在中国有大量视障人士可能需要机器人导盲犬，它可像汽车一样量产降低成本，有市场前景，所以是关于机器人导盲犬的潜在市场，A项正确；不是讲传统导盲犬训练成本高（第二段已提及）、申请机器人导盲犬困难或机器人导盲犬量产标准，B、C、D项错误。
31.C根据Li Fei的话“The research teams are thoughtful and are continuously making improvements. The robot dog is electronic, making it easier to get into public places than traditional guide dogs, I will probably try the robot guide dog when it becomes available. They can be precise and reliable as they seldom make subjective mistakes.”可知机器人导盲犬可能很快改变视障人士生活，会使他们受益很多，C项正确；它还未广泛可用，A项错误；未提及需要进一步提高准确性，B项错误；只是说可能会使用它，未说会取代传统导盲犬，D项错误。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。研究人员发现蜜蜂可以像人类一样建造各种建筑风格并可以将这些风格代代相传。
32．细节理解题。根据第二段的句子“A team of evolutionary biologists, led by Viviana Di Pietro, has discovered that these small-brained insects can build in various architectural styles, similar to humans. These styles are passed down from generation to generation, indicating that insects can have cultural differences — a concept once believed to be unique to humans, as noted by Andrew Whiten.(由Viviana Di Pietro领导的一组进化生物学家发现，这些脑容量小的昆虫可以像人类一样建造各种建筑风格。这些风格代代相传，表明昆虫可以有文化差异——正如安德鲁·怀特所指出的那样，这一概念曾被认为是人类所独有的。)”可知，蜜蜂表现出不同的建筑传统。故选C项。
33．细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“This challenges the traditional view of culture, which is often defined as behavior directly passed from one individual to another.(这挑战了传统的文化观点，文化通常被定义为直接从一个人传递给另一个人的行为。)”可知，传统的文化观认为文化是从个体互动中学习。故选B项。
34．细节理解题。根据最后一段的句子“Bees keep surprising us; it has been observed that bumblebees (大黄蜂) learn from older bees, challenging the idea that such learning is unique to humans.(蜜蜂不断给我们带来惊喜; 据观察，大黄蜂向年长的蜜蜂学习，挑战了这种学习是人类独有的观点。)”可知，蜜蜂挑战了学习是人类独有的观点。
35．主旨大意题。本文的主要内容是：研究人员发现蜜蜂以像人类一样建造各种建筑风格并可以将这些风格代代相传。所以用C项“The Cultural Architecture of Bees(蜜蜂的文化建筑)”作为本文的题目与文章主题相符合。

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者结合自身经历给出了一些摄影的建议。
36．上文“Photography for me has always been a key. It opens up doors, gives me an excuse to travel with more purpose, and lets me see behind the scenes.(摄影对我来说一直是个关键。它为我打开了一扇门，给了我一个更有目的旅行的借口，让我看到了幕后。)”提到了摄影对作者的重要性；下文““Better get back to taking photos. Nice to chat!”(“还是聊回拍照吧。这很好聊!”)”转而提到“回到拍照的话题”，为过渡句，下文第二段开始提出学习摄影的建议。由此可知，设空处应是承接上文的话题，与摄影的好处相关。F项“It also helps to slip out of awkward small talk at parties.(这也有助于在聚会上避免尴尬的闲聊。)”中的it指代上文的Photography，also helps也与上文对应。故选F项。

39．设空处位于段首，为段落主旨句；下文“I’ve taken hundreds of thousands of photos this year alone. The more you shoot the better you will be. So, start shooting—anything and everything, but specially your fiends’ businesses and projects.(仅今年一年，我就拍了数十万张照片。你拍得越多，你就会越好。所以，开始拍摄吧，什么都可以，尤其是你朋友的生意和项目。)”提到了拍得越多，就会越好，说明摄影是需要练习的。C项“Like anything, photography requires practice.(像任何事情一样，摄影需要练习。)”最能概括本段内容。故选C项。
40．上文“Do I have a good camera Yes, but some people still think that the photos I post from my phone were taken on that camera, so don’t confuse a good device with being a good photographer.(我有好的相机吗？是的，但有些人仍然认为我从手机上发布的照片是用那台相机拍摄的，所以不要把一个好设备和一个好摄影师混为一谈。)”提到了不要把好设备和好摄影师混为一谈，由此可知，设空处应与摄影设备和摄影师有关。E项“Some of my favorite photographers just use their phone.(我最喜欢的一些摄影师只用他们的手机拍。)”与上下文对应。故选E项。

Dear Bruce,
I am writing to share my travel experience during the summer vacation with you. It was a delightful journey with my family to the ancient city of Xi’an. We explored the Terracotta Army, which was an astonishing sight, and tasted the local delicacies that were simply mouth- watering. Another highlight was the Xi’an City Wall, where we marveled at its grandeur and felt the historical significance it carries.
The trip was not just about the places we visited but the bond it strengthened among us. It was a blend of adventure, culture, and family time that I will cherish forever. I hope to hear about your summer adventures too!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
【导语】告知信。要求考生给英国笔友Bruce写一封电子邮件，告知对方在暑假期间和家人一起去旅游的经历及感想。
67． When the food came, she took out some plastic bags from her bag. She carefully put the food into the bags, explaining that she wanted to save some for later. My mother and I exchanged a look, and we both felt a pang of sadness. We told her to eat as much as she wanted and that we could order more if needed. She thanked us with tears in her eyes and started to eat slowly, savoring every bite as if it were a luxury.
I think about Judy every so often. Her story has stayed with me, reminding me of the importance of kindness and compassion. I have learned that we should never turn a blind eye to those in need and that a small act of kindness can make a huge difference in someone's life. I hope that Judy has found a place to stay and is getting the help she needs, and I will always be grateful for the lesson she taught me that day.
【原文简介】作者和母亲去一家海鲜餐厅，午餐高峰时看到一个无家可归且饥饿的女士拿着求助牌子。作者邀请她一起就餐，服务员和店主态度冷漠，但作者坚持让她留下。点菜时作者了解到她叫Judy，因患癌从军队退役后找不到工作失去房子，错过前往收容所的班车。
【续写方向】
第一段续写方向
- 可以描写Judy拿到食物后的反应和行为，比如她把食物装进袋子，可能是想留着之后吃，体现她的生活困境以及对食物的珍惜。同时作者和母亲的反应也可以描写，可能会对她表示关心和同情，鼓励她多吃。
第二段续写方向
- 可以表达作者对Judy的经常回忆，强调这件事对作者的影响，比如让作者意识到善良和同情心的重要性，希望Judy能得到帮助，并且从这次经历中学到了要关注需要帮助的人，一个小小的善举可能会对他人生活产生重大影响。
