Bees do a lot more than just make honey. In fact, many kinds do not make honey at all. And yet, regardless of whether they produce sweet honey or not, bees are an important part of any ecosystem. Without the intense work of pollination (授粉) these flying insects carry out, the world would look very different.
Clancy Lester, a 23-year-old ecologist known as “The Bee Man”, is on a mission to preserve solitary (独居的) bees by building them structures in which they can nest and lay eggs.
Lester’s passion for insects started during his stay with the Yolngu people in Australia’s Northern Territory. There, he witnessed the deep connection between the Yolngu and their native bee species, which are not only a treasured part of their traditional diets but also involved in their cultural stories and songs. However, he observed a troubling decline in these bee populations, largely due to habitat loss and harmful chemical use in agriculture. This stirred a deep desire within Lester to take action.
Today, working with schools and communities, Lester is actively conducting workshops that instruct people to create structures with multiple “rooms” to serve as a temporary (临时的) home for many kinds of bees. “Not all bees live in hives. In fact, many of them are solitary animals, and they need places to take shelter and lay eggs,” Lester said. The rooms follow the natural habitats where bees thrive, and are called bee hotels. Besides, he encourages families and individuals to grow native plants and transform roadside spaces into welcoming environments to improve insect biodiversity.
“It’s a simple and effective way to recreate natural environments,” Lester added, stressing how these little structures can stir curiosity and connection with native pollinators. As people begin to notice the signs of bees in their gardens, they become more interested in protecting these wonderful creatures.
Lester also shared a wealth of resources online, guiding anyone interested in building their own bee hotels. So far, he has overseen the creation of 800 of these delightful structures throughout Australia.
4. What caused Lester to determine to protect bees
A. His passion for all kinds of insects.
B. His interactions with the Yolngu people.
C. The sharp decline of honey production.
D. The terrible situation bee populations face.
5. What is the primary function of bee hotels
A. To replace natural bee habitats.
B. To store honey produced by bees.
C. To attract tourists interested in insects.
D To provide temporary homes for solitary bees.
6. Which of the following can best describe Lester
A. Careful and generous.
B. Observant and devoted.
C. Confident and humorous.
D. Knowledgeable and talkative.
7. What can be inferred about the impact of Lester’s work
A. It has significantly reduced habitat loss.
B. It has led to a full recovery of bee populations.
C. It has raised awareness of preserving pollinators.
D. It has ensured secure habitats for all pollinators.
C
The decision to act properly with first aid can mean the difference between life and death. Begin by introducing yourself to the injured or ill person. Explain that you are a first aid provider and are willing to help. The person must give you permission to help them; do not touch them until they agree to be helped. If you run into a confused person or someone who is seriously injured or ill, you can assume that they would want you to help them. This is known as “implied consent”.
The first step in any emergency is the recognition of the problem and providing help. When in doubt or when someone is seriously injured or ill, you should always activate the emergency response system by calling 911 in the United States, or your own locality’s Emergency Medical Services (EMS) number. If you’ re not sure how serious the situation is, the 911/EMS operator will ask you a series of questions to determine the severity of the situation.
Remain on the line until additional help arrives, or until the 911/EMS operator tells you to hang up. Emergency system operators can guide you through the steps of performing CPR (心肺复苏术) or delivering basic care until additional help arrives.
Whether you are at home, work, or school, know where the first aid kits are kept and be familiar with their contents. Know how to activate the EMS in your area. Be aware of any policies in the workplace regarding medical emergencies.
After determining the problem, the next step in providing help is to determine the responsiveness of the injured or ill person. The best way to determine this is to tap the person and talk loudly to them, “Are you okay ” After determining responsiveness, call for help. Look for any medical identifications, such as a necklace or a bag. This may provide a valuable clue to the cause of the situation.
8. What does the underlined word “consent” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Agreement. B. Danger.
C. Helpfulness. D. Refusal.
9. What’s the most important step to make sure your first aid is necessary
A. Giving first aid as quickly as possible.
B. Asking the injured or ill many questions.
C. Analyzing conditions of the injured or ill.
D. Moving the victims to the roadside and wait.
10 How can you know the responsiveness of the injured or ill person
A. By letting them call for help.
B. By communicating with them.
C. By checking their temperature.
D. By finding any identifications.
11. What might the author continue talking about
A. How to determine responsiveness.
B. Some additional first aid measures.
C. The weaknesses of some first aid.
D. How to ask for victims’ permission.
D
Artificial intelligence (AI) is quickly becoming part of our day-to-day lives. Our phones may even come with built-in AI assistants, answering questions and helping us organize our lives. But how “smart” is AI actually
Research by a British broadcasting company has found that popular AI assistants make significant mistakes when summarizing news stories. AI chatbots are usually blocked from the company’s content. But in December 2024, the company opened up its website to AI so that it could evaluate (评估) the skills of several leading AI assistants.
The company’s journalists reviewed responses the AI assistants gave to 100 questions about the news to test their accuracy (准确性). The AI assistants were asked specifically to quote the company’s news sources on the Internet in their answers as much as possible, and the results were not positive. More than half of the AI responses (51%) were judged to have “significant issues”. Just under 20% of the responses that quoted the company’s introduced factual errors, like incorrect statements, numbers, and dates. And 13% of the quotes that the AI assistants said were sourced from the company were either changed or just didn’t exist in the quoted article.
A popular AI chatbot said that a major health service in a country didn’t recommend a certain method for a health issue. But the article it quoted actually said the health service did recommend this method. Another AI assistant got the details wrong on a certain political issue and its description didn’t match the quoted article or other sources. Other problems came from AI assistants using outdated information, like saying a former prime minister was still in power months after he had left office.
After the results were released, the CEO of the company said, “AI software will often include disclaimers about the accuracy of their results, but there is clearly a problem here.”
12. Why did the company open its website to AI
A. To increase online traffic.
B. To promote its news content.
C. To judge the skills of some AI assistants.
D. To test the performance of its journalists.
13. What can we learn about the performance of the AI assistants from paragraph 3
A. It is faulty. B. It is perfect.
C. It is specific. D. It is intelligent.
14. How is paragraph 4 developed
A. By listing data.
B. By giving examples.
C. By making assumptions.
D. By analyzing causes and effects.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. AI Chatbots for Broadcasting News.
B. AI Journalists in a British Company.
C. AI Service for Gathering Information.
D. AI Accuracy in News Summarization.

47. 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。
One sunny morning during a school outing, Mrs Green took her students to her village. In the village, her family owned a mango orchard (杧果园) and a nursery (苗圃) where they grew a variety of beautiful roses.
All the students were filled with excitement. They joyfully ate mangoes from the orchard. As it was time to leave, Mrs Green gathered the students together and said, “Children, today we’ve had a wonderful time here, enjoying the beautiful scenery and the delicious mangoes. But sometimes we may ignore the beautiful things around us, just like these mangoes. It is extremely important to value everything that is right before our eyes.”
A student named Henry raised his hand and asked, “But Mrs Green, how do we tell which thing is good or not ” Mrs Green replied gently, “Let’s understand this through a small game. Henry, go to the mango orchard and bring me the biggest mango you can find. But remember, once you move ahead, you cannot go back.”
Henry nodded determinedly and walked into the orchard. He began carefully observing each mango, his eyes examining every branch. With every mango he saw, Henry thought to himself, “Maybe a bigger mango lies ahead. I can’t settle for this one.” So, he kept moving forward, his steps steady. He passed by one tree after another, leaving many mangoes behind. As he walked deeper into the orchard, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of expectation. But when he reached the end of the orchard, his face fell. He realized that the biggest mango was on the first tree he had passed. Disheartened, Henry hung his head and returned empty-handed. With a heavy heart, he shared his experience with Mrs Green.
Mrs Green smiled and said, “This is where we often make mistakes in life. In search of something better, we ignore what is right in front of us and miss out on great opportunities and wonderful things.”
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。

【答案】One possible version:
Dear David,
I’m glad to hear that you’re planning a trip to China this summer vacation. I strongly recommend visiting Chengde in Hebei Province.
Chengde is a beautiful city with rich historical and cultural heritage. Situated in the upper reaches of the Luanhe River, it’s known for its natural scenery. It’s home to the Chengde Mountain Resort, a large imperial garden with lakes, hills, and ancient pavilions. The Puning Temple is also a must-see, resembling the Potala Palace in Xizang. In terms of local cuisine, the roasted lamb legs and local tea are popular.
When visiting Chengde, you’d better take precautions against sun exposure. Additionally, explore the city’s diverse cultures by interacting with locals. Wish you a good time.
Yours,
Li Hua

【答案】Mrs Green then gave another task to Henry: getting the reddest rose from the nursery. Henry took a deep breath, deciding not to mess up again. When he stepped into the nursery, the sweet smell of red roses hit him right away.
