46．Dear Sansa,
I’m glad to receive your emails in which you’ve shown interest in China’s 5G technology. I’m happy to tell you something about it.
Actually, 5G has just really started in China, so cell phone manufacturers and network providers are testing the waters to see people’s reaction. To our delight, the government is prioritizing 5G’s development. Policies have been drawn up and preferences given, in the hope that related hardware, software and network construction will develop accordingly to meet 5G standards. As far as I’m concerned, there are potential opportunities and challenges at the same time. I hope every nation in the world can take advantage of modern science and technology, using it for the benefit of all mankind.
I’d really like to know 5G in the UK as well. Please do write me soon.
Yours,
Li Hua
47．One possible version:
That evening, the team stayed late at school to try to fix the problem. After hours of troubleshooting, Ethan finally figured out what was wrong. One of the wires had come loose, causing the motor to stop working. With renewed energy, the team worked together to reconnect the wires and test the robot again. To their relief, it moved across the floor, picking up a pencil just as they had planned. “We did it” Mia shouted excitedly. They couldn’t believe that after all the hard work, their robot was finally working again.
The next day, the students in the classroom were excited as each team presented their robot to the school. When it was Ethan, Mia, and Carlos’s turn, they demonstrated how their robot could move around and pick up objects. The audience cheered as the robot performed perfectly. Mrs Green smiled proudly. “Great teamwork, you guys,” she said. After the presentation, the team felt a sense of achievement. They had learned that working together and not giving up, even when things seemed impossible, was the key to success. The robot project had taught them more than how to build a machine — it had taught them the power of persistence.

As an artist working at Cambridge University Botanic Garden, I am leading a special 14-month project called DYE. My mission is to discover plant-based dyes (染料) and share them with visitors, researchers and artists through events, performances, a colour database and projects linked to the Garden’s plant collections.
There are some 8,000 plant species in the Garden. Guided by medieval recipes, I experiment with berries, flowers, and bark (树皮) to uncover colours hidden in nature. For example, I’ve transformed roses into vivid red dyes and turned Jade Vine into pink paint. One of my proudest achievements is creating “Newton’s Gold” — a golden-yellow ink made from the bark of Isaac Newton’s historic apple tree. I thought I’d end up with black but it’s a dark golden yellow — unlike modern methods that chemically force predictable results. These discoveries remind me that nature holds endless surprises, but they demand patience and respect.
My work isn’t just about mixing colours — it’s about storytelling. Collaborations with historians and dancers connect my dyes to broader themes. I dyed feathers for historians to study ancient costumes and created fabrics reflecting nature’s cycles for a dance performance. By reviving forgotten techniques, such as a 15th-century ink recipe, I bridge the past and present, showing how ancient methods can inspire sustainable solutions to today’s environmental issues.
Nature’s colours are ever-changing. The fading of dyes reveals the temporary beauty of natural materials, just as ecosystems’ delicate balance which demands protection. In the Botanic Garden, colours from plants and everyday materials teach me to accept change. These colours aren’t just art supplies; they symbolize nature’s strength and remind us to rethink our relationship with the environment.
Through workshops and a colour database, I invite people to view nature differently. My work is a return to the old ways of making colour from my garden herbs, establishing a deeper connection between art and nature.
4．What does the author do on the DYE project
A．Organize and guide garden tours.
B．Collect and classify plant species.
C．Design and run a database of artworks.
D．Develop and spread plant-based dyes.
5．Why is “Newton’s Gold” ink significant
A．It honors Newton’s great contributions.
B．It shows nature’s unpredictable potentials.

D．It exposes limitations of modern ink production.
6．What does the underlined word “reviving” mean in paragraph 3
A．Bringing back. B．Putting away.
C．Searching for. D．Reflecting on.
7．What is the ultimate goal of the DYE project
A．To improve natural dye stability.
B．To protect nature’s ecological balance.
C．To strengthen sustainable art-nature bonds.
D．To bridge nature and art through gardening.

When Sonja Detrinidad opened her online shop selling houseplants, she didn’t have high hopes for it. But the opposite happened: She was flooded, shipping out 1,200 orders in June of 2020 alone. In the past year, Detrinidad sent out more than 70,000 plants. Her success is just one example of increased time at home leading to an explosion in the houseplant industry.
“Plants are in fashion right now,” says Dr. Melinda Knuth, a researcher from the University of Florida. “People who live in plant-rich environments report a higher life satisfaction rating, ” she says. “Adding more nature to our environment can change our mood and how we think.” Plants can improve our state of mind in a few ways but the biggest is by decreasing our level of cortisol, the stress hormone (激素) in our body.
“Students who are around plants perform better academically than students who are in a classroom without plants,” says Knuth. “This productivity also translates into the workplace for adults. Our study showed that there was a 30% decrease in sick leave for people who were in plant-rich workplaces.”
If you’re among the groups of people who are enjoying the mental and physical health benefits of surrounding yourself with plants, don’t beat yourself up if one (or a few!) doesn’t make it. “Doctors practice medicine and lawyers practice law and you should allow yourself the practice it takes to sustain a plant. Tending to plants is an exercise in patience and learning. Be invested in taking care of it, but if it dies, go get another one,” Detrinidad says.
8．How was Detrinidad’s business when it started
A．It faced tough competition. B．It suffered a great loss.
C．It got lots of financial support. D．It went surprisingly well.
9．What is one of Knuth’s findings about plants
A．They appeal more to students. B．They purify the environment.
C．They raise the cortisol level. D．They enhance productivity.
10．What does Detrinidad try to explain by mentioning doctors and lawyers
A．The necessity of social skills. B．The meaning of sustainability.
C．The importance of repeated efforts. D．The value of professional opinions.
11．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Time to Replace Houseplants B．Plants Boost Your Mood
C．Tips on Choosing Houseplants D．Plants Brighten Your Home

We all have our little daily routines before bed — some of us unwind with a hot shower, others dive into a good book, and some just scroll through their phones until they can’t keep their eyes open. But what if the one thing we’ve been doing every night is actually ruining our chances of a restful sleep A new study has uncovered a surprising mistake many of us make without even realizing it, and it could be the key to whether you wake up feeling refreshed or not.
Researchers from the Hinda and Arthur Marcus Institute for Aging Research in the US recorded the results from 50 people aged 65 and over for a year and a half. Through sleep monitors, they were able to see how their surroundings, specifically temperature, impacted their quality of sleep. After analyzing 11,000 nights of sleep, it was concluded that participants had the most efficient sleep when the bedroom temperature was between 20 and 25℃ (68 and 77F). During this temperature range, its participants were at their least restless, with 20℃ (68F) averaging out as the best temperature when studied against hours slept.
However, the most restless sleep occurred when temperatures increased to 30℃ when a five to 10 per cent drop in sleep efficiency was recorded. “Our observations point to an exciting opportunity to potentially improve sleep within the older adult population by creating a more comfortable home environment,” researchers revealed.
It comes after a separate study revealed the perfect amount of sleep you need each night, from middle to old age, in order to help with cognitive function and mental health. The study looked at the sleeping habits of almost 500,000 adults from the ages of 38 to 73 and discovered that seven hours of sleep was the optimal duration needed for people within that age range. In the study, Cambridge University’s Department of Psychiatry Professor, Barbara Sahakian, explained: “For every hour that you moved away from seven hours, you got worse. It’s very clear that the processes that go on in our brain during sleep are very important for maintaining our physical and mental health.”
“Getting a good night’s sleep, ”she added, was important at all stages of life, but particularly as people aged. “I think it is as important as getting exercise.”
12．Why does the author list these little daily routines
A．to advise us to have a hot shower before bed.
B．to warn us of not being addicted to phones.
C．to encourage us to read a good book for our health.
D．to remind us of thinking twice before doing them next time
13．How could people aged over 65 get the most efficient sleep in this research
A．going to bed early and wake up early
B．setting the bedroom temperature 20°C
C．creating a cool and green home environment
D．taking an active part in right exercises
14．What happened when the bedroom temperature reached 30°C
A．Sleep efficiency improved by 10%. B．Participants slept 5–10% longer.
C．Sleep efficiency dropped by 5–10%. D．No significant change was observed.
15．What did Barbara Sahakian emphasize about sleep duration
A．Eight hours is the perfect amount of sleep for all adults.
B．Failing to get seven hours of sleep harms physical and mental health.
C．Older adults need more sleep than younger people.
D．Exercising replaces the need for sufficient sleep.

Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread 18 It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.
19 This may surprise you, but one of the best ways to make cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.

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 whole class had been talking about the robot project for weeks. Each group of students would design and build their own robot, which would then be tested in front of members of the school’s judging panel. Ethan and his friends, Mia and Carlos, were on the same team. They were excited but nervous, knowing that they had to come up with something creative and make it work perfectly.
On the first day of planning, the team sat down in the library to brainstorm ideas. “I think we should build a robot that can move and pick up small objects,” Mia suggested. Carlos agreed, “That sounds cool, but how are we going to make it move None of us have ever built a robot before.”Ethan thought for a moment. “We’ll need wheels, a motor, and some kind of remote control,” he said. They all nodded in agreement, but none of them knew where to start.
For the next few days, they researched how to build robots, watching tutorials online and reading books from the school library. They made a list of all the parts they would need, including batteries, wires, and wheels. Finally, with the help of their teacher, Mrs Green, they started building the robot after school. It was harder than they expected. Sometimes the wires wouldn’t connect properly, and other times the motor wouldn't start. There were moments when they thought they wouldn’t finish in time for the presentation.
The day before the presentation, a disaster struck. As they tested the robot in the classroom, it suddenly stopped moving. “What’s wrong with it ” Mia asked. Ethan inspected the robot carefully. “I think the motor overheated,” he said, looking worried. They only had one night left to fix it, and they were out of ideas. “We can’t give up now,” Carlos said firmly.
