A
As any gardener knows, nature doesn’t need much space to grow strong and healthy — give her an inch, and she’ll take a mile! Here are four impressive examples of nature reclaiming (开发利用) our world for itself with amazing results.
Houtouwan, China
It lies on the island of Shengshan Town on the furthermost edge of a group of islands. The only way to get there is by private boat, or by bus, and then by ship. Its isolation (隔绝) was one of the prime factors leading to the abandonment of the village in the 1990s. Now, its walls and streets become green with overgrowth.
Spreepark, Germany
Spreepark was closed in 2001 and the local plant life soon got to work. Structures in use since the park originally opened in 1969 were quickly covered by leaves. Now, an initiative aims to bring the site back to life.
Vallone dei Mulini, Italy
Its high humidity (湿度) encouraged a microclimate perfect for plant growth. As the abandoned buildings fell apart, the ruins and their surroundings became completely overgrown. Photographs taken of the site in 2006 went widespread online.
Beng Mealea, Cambodia
Though constructed around 900 years ago, this grand temple is far less frequented than its more famous neighbour, Angkor Wat. In 2020, it was submitted for consideration as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Natural decline, among other factors, has caused serious damage to the site, allowing the surrounding jungle to overrun and combine with it.
21．What mainly caused Houtouwan’s abandonment
A．Its wet climate. B．The overgrowth of plants.
C．Its separate location. D．The aging of walls and streets.
22．Which place once became popular online
A．Houtouwan. B．Spreepark. C．Vallone dei Mulini. D．Beng Mealea.
23．What feature do the four places share
A．They are World Heritage Sites. B．They are being taken back by nature.
C．They are nearly 1,000 years old. D．They are regaining their original state.
B
Education in 2080 is distinctive from education in the 2020s. Until about 2035, the main function of education systems was to supply the economy with the next generation of workers. In 2080, the purpose of education is the well-being of society and all its members. To make this a bit more tangible for you, I would like to give an example of what a child’s education looks like in 2080. Her name is Shemsy. Shemsy is 13, and she is confident and loves learning.
Shemsy does not go to school in the morning because schools as you know them no longer exist. The institution was abolished as it was widely thought of as more like a prison or a factory than a creative learning environment. Schools have been replaced with “Learning Hubs” that are not restricted to certain ages. They are where intergenerational learning happens, in line with the belief that learning is a lifelong pursuit.
Every year, Shemsy designs her learning journey for the year with a highly attentive “teacher-citizen”. Shemsy is actively engaged in designing her education and has to propose projects she would like to be involved in to contribute to and serve her community. She also spends lots of time playing as the role of play in learning has finally been recognized as essential and core to our humanity. Shemsy works a lot collaboratively. Access to education is universal, and higher education institutions no longer differentiate themselves by how many people they reject yearly. Variability between students is expected and leveraged (利用) as young people teach one another and use their differences as a source of strength. Shemsy naturally explores what she is curious about at a pace she sets. She still has some classes to take that are mandatory for children globally: Being Human and the History of Humanity.
We invite you to think about your vision for education in the year 2080, what does it look like, who does it serve,and how does it transform our societies
24．What does paragraph 1 mainly tell us
A．There are different types of education.
B．The present education needs improvements.
C．Education and economy are closely associated.
D．The goal of future education is fundamentally different.
25．What do we know about the Learning Hub that Shemsy goes to
A．It accepts students of all ages. B．It promotes competition.
C．It discourages individualized learning. D．It is all about play-based learning.
26．What does the underlined word “mandatory” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Tough. B．Satisfactory. C．Optional. D．Required.
27．What is the suitable title for the text
A．An Example to All B．A Vision for Education
C．A Challenge for Education D．A Journey into the Future
C
A study has challenged the claim that electronic devices such as smartphones and tablets may lead to dementia (痴呆). The study has found that among older people who regularly use technological products, the decline in cognitive ability is slower.
It is unclear whether the technology staves off mental decline, or whether people with better cognitive skills simply use them more, but the scientists say the findings question the claim that screen time drives what has been called “digital dementia”.
Jared Benge and his colleague Dr Michael Scullin, a cognitive neuroscientist at Baylor University in Texas, analysed 57 published studies that examined the use of digital technology in 411,430 adults around the world. The average age was 69 years old and all had a cognitive test or diagnosis. The scientists found no evidence for the digital dementia hypothesis, which suggests that a lifetime of using digital technology drives mental decline. Rather, they found that using a computer, smartphone, the internet or some combination of these was associated with a lower risk of cognitive impairment.
More work is needed to explain the findings, but the researchers suspect a two-way relationship supports the results. In this case, people with better thinking skills are more likely to use digital devices, but there are also cognitive benefits to be had from embracing the technology. Benge noted that digital tools could help people engage in complex activities and boost their social connections, both of which appeared to be good for the ageing brain.
Professor Peter Etchells, the director of the Centre for Research on Science and Society at Bath Spa University in the UK, said: “This is a really nice study that shows the research area is starting to mature. It’s starting to move beyond the blind acceptance that screen time is something useful to talk about. It’s starting to pose what the next questions should be.”
28．What does the underlined phrase “staves off” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Causes.
B．Delays.
C．Worsens.
D．Detects.
29．What did Jared Benge and Michael Scullin find through their research
A．Digital technology has no effect on cognitive ability.
B．Screen time is closely related to “digital dementia”.
C．Regular use of technological products slows cognitive decline in older people.
D．People with worse cognitive skills use digital devices more frequently.
30．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A．The digital dementia hypothesis has been proven by many studies.
B．Digital tools can only help people boost their social connections.
C．The average age of the adults in the 57 studies was 69 years old.
D．There is a one - way relationship between digital use and cognitive ability.
31．What is Professor Peter Etchells’ attitude towards the study
A．Doubtful.
B．Critical.
C．indifferent.
D．Favorable.
D
When viewed from above, highway traffic resembles ant colonies in motion. Yet unlike human drivers, ants remarkably avoid traffic jams through collective intelligence. Scientists are now studying these tiny creatures to develop smarter self-driving car systems that could prevent traffic jams.
Research shows traffic flow becomes unstable when vehicle density reaches 15 cars per mile per lane. A single brake application can trigger a chain reaction of stopping-what physicist Katsuhiro Nishinari calls a “phase transition”, similar to water turning to ice. Surprisingly, ants maintain smooth movement even at high densities. Studies reveal their secret lies in traveling in small groups (3-20 ants) at consistent speeds while maintaining proper spacing and never overtaking each other.
The parallels between ant colonies and potential smart traffic systems are striking. Just as ants coordinate through chemical signals without any central authority, future vehicle networks could operate through decentralized communication. ”What emerges is a remarkably strong system without any single leader,“ observes Noa Pinter-Wollman, a behavioral ecologist at UCLA who studies ant colonies. This distributed approach to traffic management could prove far more adaptable than our current top-down systems.
Human drivers, focused on personal speed advantage, inevitably cause jams. “We prioritize individual interests, which leads to congestion,” explains Nicola Pugno, an engineering professor at Italy’s University of Trento who contributed to the research. This fundamental difference in approach suggests that future autonomous vehicles, if properly programmed, could revolutionize traffic flow by adopting ant-like cooperation. Imagine a network of self-driving cars constantly communicating with nearby vehicles to maintain steady speeds and safe following distances, eliminating the stop-and-go patterns that waste time and fuel.
While ants show great flexibility by making paths wider or even moving upside down in narrow spaces, cars today cannot do the same. However, Nishinari offers one simple lesson from ants that all drivers can use: keep a safe distance. Leaving enough space between cars helps reduce sudden stops that often lead to unexplained traffic slowdowns.
32．What is the main purpose of scientists studying ants in relation to traffic systems
A．To understand how ants avoid predators.
B．To develop smarter self-driving car systems.
C．To learn how ants build their colonies.
D．To study the chemical signals ants use.
33．Why can ants avoid traffic jams even at high densities
A．They travel in small groups with consistent spacing and speed.
B．They rely on a central authority to coordinate their movements.
C．They use chemical signals to communicate with each other.
D．They frequently overtake other ants to avoid congestion.
34．How can ant colonies inspire future vehicle network design
A．It will rely on a central authority for coordination.
B．It will mimic the top-down systems currently in use.
C．It will operate through decentralized communication.
D．It will prioritize individual speed over collective efficiency.
35．Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A．Ant Colonies: A Model for Future Traffic Systems
B．Human Drivers: The Cause of Traffic Congestion
C．Self-Driving Cars: The Science Behind Them
D．Decentralized Communication: The Future of Traffic

While many people have a traditional savings account, that money is often used to manage bills and everyday expenses. 36 Here’s why:
They’re low on fees and flexible on minimums. It can be easy to overlook the many fees that banks charge their customers. 37 Though these types of fees often apply to checking accounts, savings accounts are a source of income for banks as well. At big brick-and-mortar banks, savings accounts generally come with monthly maintenance fees and/or minimum balance requirements. Not so for most online savings accounts, which often come without minimum balance requirements or maintenance fees.
They may offer higher interest rates than brick-and-mortars. 38 Because of this, they are often able to pass along the savings to customers in the form of incentives such as higher interest rates and annual percentage yields.
They’re optimized for on-the-go banking. Online banking is easy and mobile. Most online savings accounts can be set up and funded electronically at no cost, after which point they are accessible 24/7. 39 It means money that should be available for use in the event of an emergency won’t sit around un-cashed until you have a chance to swing by the bank. We all know how busy life can get.
40 Around-the-clock customer service is available from most online banks. That said, it’s worth doing your research ahead of time to get a full picture of the bank’s customer service offering. Make sure you can reach someone by phone, an app or even live chat when you have questions or need extra assistance. The goal is to ensure that you never feel like your money is out of reach, especially when you need it to help with unexpected expenses.
A．And those fees can add up.
B．Be prepared to weather a financial storm.
C．They’ve got your back with customer service.
D．They include everything from car repairs to doctor bills.
E．Additionally, most allow you to easily deposit checks via your phone.
F．A separate online savings account can be a great way to maintain a rainy day fund.
G．Online banks have lower operating cost than their counterparts at traditional banks.

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。
It was a presentation for my literature class, where every student had to present their analysis of a classic novel. My knees were shaking, and my throat felt drier with every passing second. As I looked around, 30 pairs of eyes were fixed on me, waiting for me to speak.
Though I was comfortable sharing my ideas in small group discussions, I felt nervous about speaking in front of the whole class. Fear flooded me, and my mind went blank. I could hear my heart beating in my ears, blocking out the words I wanted to say. I ended up messing up the presentation.
With another presentation coming soon, I refused to let fear hold me back again. I decided to sign up to perform at a campus comedy club event. I admired how confident stand-up comedians were, and I hoped I could act like them. When I spoke there later, though my jokes didn’t get much of a reaction, I surprisingly enjoyed being on stage and felt I could do better next time.
Inspired by this, I knew I needed advice from someone more experienced. That was when I noticed Sania, a talented performer whose humor and confidence made her the highlight of the evening. I gathered the courage to talk to her and introduced myself as a beginner speaker looking to improve. She listened closely and gave me great advice, “Attend more open microphone (麦克风) events and watch more comedy performances.”
Over the next few weeks, I attended more open microphone events and observed how Sania and other skilled comedians made their performances engaging with clever stories. Surprisingly, this helped me understand literature in a new way. I started to think of literature as something to be told. The characters I analyzed became lively figures in a story that I could explain in a more interesting way. Having prepared for some time, I took a chance and asked Sania if she would like to watch my novel presentation and offer advice. She gladly agreed and we met at a study hall one afternoon after school.
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。
I introduced the novel’s main characters to Sania, still a bit nervous.

67．I introduced the novel’s main characters to Sania, still a bit nervous. Sania listened carefully, nodding now and then. When I finished, she smiled warmly. “You did well, but try to slow down and make your points clearer,” Sania suggested. “And if you feel nervous, take a deep breath. Focus on connecting with your audience, not just presenting to them. Think of them as friends who are curious to hear your story.” Her specific advice removed my anxiety and increased my confidence. It greatly improved my approach and made me feel well prepared.
When the time came for my next class presentation, I was quite different. As I spoke, I remembered Sania’s advice about engaging the audience with proper eye contact. I slowed down, focusing on connecting with my classmates as if they were my friends. Then I continued to express myself smoothly and confidently. This time, I received a round of loud applause, unlike the previous silence. I realized effective communication is just as important as the content itself. And thanks to Sania’s patience and support, I have experienced significant growth in the process.
