Toronto-based artist Ava Roth is unlike other collaborative(合作的) artists: instead of working with people, she works with bees. As a painter, embroiderer(刺绣师), and mixed-media artist, she has spent the past decade experimenting with the unique medium of beeswax(蜂蜡). In her collections, Roth employs the help of a local bee community to create beautiful pieces that perfectly represent the intersection of human beings and nature.
During the collaboration, Roth’s portion of the work comes in the form of collages(拼贴画) suspended in embroidery rings. Using her mastery of embroidery techniques, she creates designs with thread and pearls while incorporating found materials, such as wood, vegetation, and horsehair. After she arranges these elements to her liking, the bees come in to add their geometric touch(修饰). Roth then attaches the ring to custom-made beekeeping frames and places it in a beehive. Over time, thousands of bees fill the frame with honeycomb(蜂巢), converting the piece into its final, fascinating form.
The artistic collaboration between the bee community and Roth appears as the honeycomb created by the hive naturally integrates with her creativity, resulting in a unique and original work of art. Her direct collaboration with bees is just one aspect of her work. Roth also incorporates beeswax honeycomb in other collections, including encaustic-sewn(蜡染缝制的) paintings, embroideries, and works on paper.
In her work, Roth integrates the theme of the human relationship into the natural world, reflecting on how people shape nature to meet their needs. With the role bees play in pollinating(授粉) many of the world’s crops, the species is important to food production. Despite their essential duty, bee populations have been facing a growing decline worldwide caused by factors such as climate change, habitat destruction, and pesticides. Roth raises awareness of this extraordinary species’ depopulation through her unique practice, exhibiting their exceptional architectural abilities and essential role in sustaining human life.
24. What makes Roth different from other artists
A. She cooperates with bees to make art.
B. She only creates bee-themed artworks.
C. She combines painting with embroidery.
D. She focuses on human-nature relationships.
25. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A. How Roth creatively shows nature in artworks.
B. Why Roth chooses bees as her artistic partners.
C. How Roth and bees work together to create art.
D. Why Roth prefers natural materials in creations.
26. What does Roth aim to convey through her work
A. The importance of protecting bees for ecosystems.
B. The great influence of nature on artistic inspiration.
C. The key role of technology in linking nature and art.
D. The need to value the traditional skills of beekeeping.
27. Which of the following best describes Roth
A. Confident and ambitious. B. Persistent and determined.
C. Competent and influential. D. Innovative and responsible.
C
When someone proposes a false claim, what’s the best way to change their mind A recent paper suggests that immediately negating the claim with evidence isn’t especially effective. Instead, “bypassing(绕过)” the false claim with positive counter(反)-claims about the topic might be a better strategy.
The conventional response to someone presenting misinformation is to present counter-evidence. As the researchers at the Annenberg Public Policy Center (APPC) put it, “The gold standard for tackling misinformation is usually a correction that actually rebuts the misinformation.” Suppose, for example, that your dad passes back the roast potatoes over a family dinner, saying, “Are these GMOs(转基因产品) Nah, don’t want any more physical reactions.” You might then say, “Actually, the health bodies of all the G7 agree that GMOs do not cause reactions.” But that likely won’t work. The APPC team conducted six experiments where they compared actually correcting someone with “bypassing” and found that using evidence and facts to disprove someone tends to be far less successful at changing attitudes.
So, what is bypassing and why is it seemingly more effective Bypassing is where, instead of providing some negative disapproval of a claim, you provide positive counter-claims about the topic. For example, if someone tells you that 5G kills birds, tell them that 5G adds billions to the world economy. Bypassing means not meeting your misinformed opponent head-on. This is not a battle of arguments or the studies. You are pushing an argument into a different position. It’s using someone’s movements and logic against them.
There are limitations to what the team at APPC has concluded. Their study into bypassing was largely about attitudes to policies, not about belief change or belief correction. Someone might still believe that 5G kills birds or that GMOs cause reactions, but admit that those are necessary bad things, compared to the positive outcomes you present them with.
So, bypassing isn’t the only tool available, and it might not even be the best if your concern is belief change. Changing someone’s belief is a complicated psychological topic, and there is definitely no one-size-fits-all strategy. When it comes to policy decisions and willingness to accept a certain technology or medicine, bypassing seems like a valuable tool to add to your kit.
28. What does the underlined word “rebuts” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Supports. B. Ignores. C. Contradicts. D. Provides.
29. Which can be used as an example of “bypassing”
A. GMOs are safe to eat because scientists say so.
B. GMOs can produce higher output with less cost.
C. 5G doesn’t kill birds, for they show no connection.
D. 5G kills birds, but their benefits outweigh the risks.
30. What do we know about the “bypassing” tool according to the text
A. It is the most reliable way. B. It may facilitate policy-making.
C. It is effective in belief correction. D. It appears frequently in debates.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Negating the Claim: Does It Work
B. Challenging Misinformation: Bypass It!
C. Changing One’s Mind: Bypass It Indirectly!
D. Bypassing: A Better Way to Shift Attitudes!
D
2024 was the hottest year on record, yet it might also be one of the coolest years of the rest of your life due to a phenomenon known as shifting baseline syndrome(综合征).
This mind trick causes people to grow used to the environmental conditions they currently experience, leading to a gradual decrease in societal environmental standards. It can act as a powerful barrier by reducing social recognition of the problem. For instance, younger generations often perceive current environmental conditions as unexceptional, even when older generations see them as significant declines.
“The last two years have been kind of supercharged,” says Gavin Schmidt, a climate scientist. Temperatures have been climbing at a quicker pace, and “2023 and 2024 stand out”. In part, this is due to a recent El Ni o, an event in which warming in the tropical Pacific Ocean causes knock-on weather effects. But Schmidt says it could also indicate a rise in human-driven global warming resulting from the fact that “we keep putting our foot on the speeding device of greenhouse gases”. Along with the rise, scientists expect we’ll see an increase in climate-related disasters like wildfires.
In principle, shifting baseline syndrome is relevant to a wide range of environmental challenges. In a recent review paper, scientists found many studies of shifting baselines indicate people struggle to notice gradual changes in climate, especially younger individuals. Most of these studies were conducted in low-income countries, and many focused on farmers. Scientists suspect people in wealthier countries are likely to be more impacted by shifting baselines because they tend to be less directly exposed to the impacts of climate change.
“Even in places where many people are aware of the crisis,” says Adam Aron, a professor at the University of California, “people aren’t necessarily taking action or demanding that officials do.” If we want people to change, Aron believes “non-analytic” approaches are needed. “Non-analytic routes are standards of behavior that are accepted within society,” he says. “My neighbors have all put up solar panels and electrified their homes. I’m going to do it, too.”
32. What does shifting baseline syndrome lead to
A. Acceptance of new societal standards.
B. Concern about extreme weather events.
C. Doubt about historical climate patterns.
D. Inattention to the environmental decline.
33. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3
A. Consequences of human activities.
B. Causes of the rising temperatures.
C. The effect of worse global warming.
D. The increase of climate disasters.
34. Why are the studies of shifting baselines conducted in low-income countries
A. They’re more affected by climate change.
B. They can avoid shifting baseline syndrome.
C. They rarely notice changing climate patterns.
D. They’re adaptable to environmental problems.
35. What does Adam Aron suggest
A. Strengthening government regulations. B. Promoting green energy initiatives.
C. Developing more protective approaches. D. Using social standards to drive action.

Stanford researchers have found that students from middle school to college are struggling to assess the credibility(可靠性) of the online articles. Here are a few practices recommended by the researchers.
36 Established news organizations usually have standard addresses that you are probably familiar with. So addresses with such strange endings like “www.” should put you on guard. 37 This is necessary even when the pages on the websites look familiar and professional.
Look at the quotes in a story. Or rather, look at the lack of quotes. Most reliable publications quote multiple sources who are professionals in the fields they talk about. 38
Search for the images in the story. Pictures should be accurate in illustrating what the story is about. However, this often doesn’t happen. If people who write the news story don’t even leave their homes or interview anyone for the story, it’s unlikely that they take their own pictures. 39 You can do this by right-clicking on the images and choosing to search for them. If the pictures appear in a lot of stories about many different topics, there’s a good chance that the story is unreliable.
Stop the spreading of misinformation. If you see your friends sharing obviously unreliable information, kindly tell them it’s not real. 40 Everyone should help fix the misinformation problem.
A. Check your articles. B. Pay attention to the spelling of the website address. C. Then you need to dig around more to see if they can be trusted. D. If you do these steps, you’re helping yourself and the publisher. E. Don’t shy away from speaking up even if it might be uncomfortable. F. If it’s a serious issue, it is usually supported by more reliable sources. G. Do a little detective work and search for the photos in a search engine.

One day, while some students were mocking(嘲弄) a friend for his learning ability, I nervously stepped up and 48 that I shared one too. 49 , rather than mocking me, they became curious, likely because they’d always considered me a “ 50 ” student, for I excelled in subjects that rarely 51 skills impacted by my disability.
That experience made me realize people simply 52 learning disabilities. I decided to 53 , share my story and change conditions of those with learning disabilities. Now, I’m pursuing my Master’s degree. The most rewarding aspect of my journey isn’t awards or graduation, but 54 students like me. One person can make a difference and I am a great 55 of that.

Young enthusiasts are seeking to revive and 56 (modern) traditional Chinese art forms, combining innovation with heritage to appeal to a new generation.
Peking Opera, Huangmei Opera, Pingju Opera — whenever traditional Chinese opera is on TV, Zhang Yang, who has an innate(天生的) passion for opera, can’t help but stop and watch. 57 she studied journalism and directing, she now works as a drama teacher at a children’s palace. Despite her profession not being 58 (direct) related to opera, she actively seeks opportunities to learn and perform 59 .
Recently, Zhang 60 (attract) by Yueju Opera, which originated in East China’s Zhejiang Province. Last year, performances by young Yueju actors Chen Lijun and Li Yunxiao gained widespread attention on Chinese social media, 61 (inspire) a newfound love for Yueju among many viewers, including Zhang.
Zhang strongly agrees with Chen’s perspective that Yueju needs both preservation and promotion and that it’s important to “make intangible 62 (classic) popular and heritage fashionable”.
“This kind of innovation is why Yueju Opera can break out of its niche(小圈层) and light 63 passionate fire among the public, particularly among young people,” she said.
As a drama teacher, Zhang also tries to incorporate(结合) traditional opera into her teaching. “I hope to promote the development of traditional culture and contribute to our national art 64 (understand) by children, who will therefore develop genuine cultural confidence,” she said.
While she compares professionals like Chen 65 “stones making large waves “, Zhang sees opera newcomers like herself as “small pebbles”. “Together, many of us can create gentle ripples, too,” she said.

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。
The school’s annual Science Fair, a contest showcasing projects from all grades, was just two weeks away. Knowing the significance of the Smart City Design category, Mark and I eagerly volunteered to team up and take the lead in crafting an interactive city model. Before we began, Ms. Johnson gathered us and shared her guiding principles. “Remember, teamwork is essential,” she advised, her voice steady. “Listen to each other’s ideas and find a way to combine your strengths. Cooperation can turn your vision into something extraordinary.”
With her words echoing in my mind, I, passionate about design and environmental issues, immediately began sketching blueprints, imagining a layout that minimized energy use. Mark, fueled by his love for technology, eagerly brainstormed ways to integrate cutting-edge devices and automated systems, his enthusiasm shining through every gesture.
However, as with any ambitious project, challenges quickly arose. Our meetings, once filled with excitement, turned into heated arguments. I wanted our city to be visually appealing and environmentally friendly, while Mark only cared about creating something super high-tech that he believed would steal the show. “It has to look impressive!” he insisted, his voice rising in frustration. My patience wore thin as I shot back, “But it has to be sustainable!” Our arguments echoed in the classroom, making it feel as if our once solid partnership was falling apart. To make matters worse, Mark began missing discussions or arriving late due to other priorities.
With only three days left before the fair, tensions reached a breaking point. “We’re letting the whole class down!” I screamed, pointing at the half-finished model. “Winning isn’t about flashy tech — it’s about representing our class with something meaningful!” Mark answered with his face turning red with anger, “I’m trying to win this for us! Your eco-rules are killing our chances!” His words stung, and I was ready to fire back.

A Symbol of China
The Spring Festival, which is celebrated by all Chinese at home and abroad, is definitely a symbol of China.
For every Chinese family, the Spring Festival bears unique meanings. On this occasion, families do thorough cleaning to welcome the new year, get together to enjoy big dinners on New Year’s Eve and express best wishes via many other activities.
As a symbol of China, the Spring Festival has been an integral part of Chinese culture. Meanwhile, the spirit of the festival — family — is always highly valued in the heart of every Chinese.

At this moment, David, our class monitor, stepped in. “This isn’t about just winning or proving who’s right. You both have amazing ideas, so why not combine your strengths ” he reminded us firmly, his voice cutting through our argument. His words struck a chord, and for the first time in days, Mark and I exchanged a look of understanding, recalling our teacher’s advice about teamwork and integrating strengths. Mark admitted his obsession with high-tech overshadowed our shared vision, while I acknowledged blocking his creativity. Together, we promised to combine eco-design with advanced tech, determined to save our project.
With newfound understanding, we began to work in harmony. I adjusted the layout of the city to include Mark’s ideas while Mark, in turn, embraced the challenge of making our device energy-efficient. The three intense days and nights witnessed us working around the clock tirelessly — perfecting the layout, crafting green tech, and transforming ideas into reality. On the day of the fair, as we stood in front of our completed project — a visually stunning, high-tech, and sustainable smart city, we felt a shared sense of pride. When the judges announced that we had won first place, we leapt for joy and embraced each other tightly. At that moment, we realized true victory lay not in the trophy, but in our transformed partnership.
