Matt may have found his calling related to birds. He used to make puppets and is now a farming officer in Yorkshire, England. Matt drew a lot of attention over the weekend when he went into nature dressed as a giant bird.
It wasn’t just any bird, but a 10-foot-long costume of the Eurasian curlew (白腰杓鹬), a large wading bird in Europe known for its long, thin beak and decreasing population. Over the weekend, Matt walked 53 miles (about 85 kilometers) along the Nidderdale Way to raise awareness about the curlew’s decline.
Matt affectionately called the costume “Cathy the Curlew”. It was made out of polystyrene (聚苯乙烯) and bamboo. This unique challenge began on April 19, which is before World Curlew Day on April 21, which was created in 2017 to inform people about habitat loss, land-use changes, and climate change affecting the curlew.
For Matt, this was as much an art project as it was a conservation effort. The journey took about two days. He started at Pateley Bridge on Saturday and finished at Brimham Rocks on Sunday. Along the way, news coverage and Matt’s talks with people he met helped spread the message to protect the curlew.
The area where Matt hiked was once a main habitat for the curlews, but their population has significantly declined over the years. In 2015, the bird was added to the UK Red List for birds, indicating the highest conservation concern.
“I’m really worried about the curlew,” Matt said. “Every nest, chick, and egg matters. We need around 10,000 more curlews each year to reach a sustainable (可持续的) population,” he added. “Curlews need to successfully raise one chick (雏鸟) every two years, but they usually don’t manage that from the four eggs they lay each year. One chick every two years is what we need to have a sustainable population, but we are far from that goal.”
4. Why did Matt choose to dress as a Eurasian curlew
A. To warn the public of the species’ decline. B. To promote puppet-making skills.
C. To get people to know about curlews. D. To celebrate World Curlew Day.
5. How did Matt’s hike contribute to raising people’s awareness of curlews
A. By calling on volunteers to hike with him. B. By selling curlew costumes.
C. Through activities held by news media. D. Through media reports and communication.
6. What can be inferred about the area where Matt hiked
A. Few curlews live there now. B. There used to be a large curlew population.
C. The habitat there is completely destroyed. D. It experienced a massive increase in curlews.
7. What do Matt’s words in the last paragraph mean
A. The curlew population is sustainable. B. The curlew population increases slowly.
C. Curlews should lay more eggs each year. D. Curlews are important for the ecosystem.
C
Britain was once covered with rainforests, known as Celtic rainforests or Atlantic woodland. The temperate (温带的) rainforests only occur in places close to the sea with high rainfall, high humidity (湿度) and low variations in temperature and full of plants and animals. The Celtic rainforests used to spread out all across the wetter areas of the country’s west. But over the centuries the ancient woodlands were later cleared and changed into grasslands for sheep and cattle. By the start of the 20th century, Britain had become the least-wooded country in Europe, with only small parts remaining in western coastal rainforest areas.
There’s a new rainforest coming back to Britain right now. A movement is underway across Britain to recover these forgotten ecosystems. And in Devon, the first step towards achieving that has just been completed. With the help of over 100 local volunteers, more than 2,500 native trees have been planted at Devon Wildlife Trust’s Bowden Pillars site, not far from the town of Totnes. It’s hoped that another 4,500 oak, rowan, alder, hazel, birch, willow and holly trees will be planted by the end of this winter and over the coming decades, and that they’ll grow to form a thriving (欣欣向荣的) temperate rainforest.
The recovery programme, led by The Wildlife Trusts, is happening across other parts of the country, including Cornwall and Pembrokeshire and has been boosted by a significant 38 million of funding from an insurance company.
Claire Inglis, a nature reserve officer at Devon Wildlife Trust, said, “The full grown temperate rainforest will take several decades to become established, but the advantages for nature will be much swifter. The mix of young trees planted among grasslands and hedges (树篱), along with our promise not to use chemicals, will be better for local butterflies and bees, along with local birds such as yellowhammers and barn owls. It will be fascinating to see how it develops.”
8. What was mainly responsible for Britain’s lost Celtic rainforest in the past
A. Low temperature. B. Animal farming.
C. Plant variation. D. High humidity.
9. What can we say about the movement across Britain
A. It’s worrying. B. It’s promising.
C. It’s unrealistic. D. It’s uncontrollable.
10. What does the underlined word “swifter” in the last paragraph mean
A. Further. B. More unlikely.
C. Quicker. D. More costly.
11. Which can be the best title for the text
A. A Story of Destruction About Britain’s Lost Rainforests
B. The Challenges of Reviving Celtic Rainforests in Britain
C. A Nationwide Effort to Revive Lost Rainforests in Britain
D. The Truth of the Disappearance of Britain’s Celtic Rainforests

If you’re reading this in bed on your phone, you’re not alone. Many people use their phones before and after bedtime, especially young adults and teens. Still, you might want to stop soon. Using screens before bed or in bed is believed to disrupt sleep, although the exact reasons are not completely clear.
In a new study, researchers looked into this issue by using data from a large survey of 45, 202 university students in Norway. They found that using screens in bed is linked to a 59 percent higher chance of insomnia (失眠) and can result in 24 minutes less sleep each night.
“Sleep problems are very common among students and have serious effects on mental health, school performance, and overall well-being,” says Gunnhild Johnsen Hjetland, a clinical psychologist at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health. “Because so many people use screens in bed, we wanted to see how different screen activities affect sleep. We thought social media might be worse for sleep because it is interactive (互动的) and can motivate (激发) emotions.”
However, the study found that using social media is no worse for sleep than other screen activities. The type of screen activity doesn’t matter as much as the total time spent using screens in bed. The researchers found no significant differences between social media and other screen activities. This suggests that using screens in general is the main cause of sleep problems, likely because it takes up time that could be used for resting.
“If you have trouble sleeping and think screen time might be a cause, try to reduce the use of screen in bed, and stop using screens at least 30 to 60 minutes before sleep,” says Hjetland. “If you use screens, consider turning off notifications (通知) to reduce disruptions during the night.”
12. How does the author begin the argument
A. By listing different opinions.
B. By referring to scientific data.
C. By mentioning a common act.
D. By analyzing cause and effect.
13. Why did researchers initially guess social media could affect sleep more
A. It included emotional inspiration.
B. It contained violent content.
C. It was entirely used by students.
D. It required frequent physical interaction.
14. Which is the practical advice Hjetland provides
A. Reading e-books instead of social media.
B. Avoiding using screen for a while before bed.
C. Increasing daytime physical activity.
D. Stopping using screens after supper.
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. Screen Time in Bed May Increase Sleeplessness
B. Good Sleep Is Key to Students’ Performance
C. Social Media Has the Worst Effect on Mental Health
D. Reading on Phones Is Common Among Teens and Young Adults

Music and health: what you need to know
Can music be good for you
According to growing research, listening to or making music can help promote health and manage disease symptoms(症状). Performing or listening to music activates brain areas related to thinking, sensation, movement, and emotion. ___16___ For example, music releases brain chemicals that bring about emotions, memories, and social bonds. It can even change brain structures. Musicians, especially those who started young, have larger brain structures related to music.
Evidence suggests music-based interventions (干预) may help with health conditions at any age. However, much of the research is still early, so few definite conclusions can be made. ___17___ While the evidence is valuable, larger exact studies are needed to confirm whether music-based interventions are truly effective.
What is music therapy (治疗)
Music therapy is a way in which music is used to help physical, emotional, and social needs. ___18___ It shows the therapist’s education, training, and credentials and can include different activities like making music, listening to music, performing music, and learning through music. Music therapists can work in different places. ___19___
Some music activities in this guide are music therapy, while others are not. For example, listening to recorded music by a nurse is not music therapy because it is not done by a music therapist.
Can music be harmful
___20___ But listening to very loud music can cause hearing loss. Music can bring back strong memories or emotions, which may upset some people. Playing musical instruments too much can cause pain and injury. Also, music activities that include exercise or movement could lead to injury if safety measures are not followed.

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。
When I was a freshman in college, I liked to write in my free time. I even started writing personal stories online for clients (委托人). At first, everything seemed to go well. However, over time, I began to feel uneasy about my clients and the work.
In the third month, I didn’t receive my payment on time, which made me anxious. I sent an email to the client to ask what happened. But I got no reply. I sent more emails, but still no answer. Finally, I got his email, saying that my story wasn’t what he had expected. Time and time again, my already low confidence was completely destroyed. I started avoiding friends, stopped answering calls, and locked myself in my room, feeling anxious and helpless.
One night, my phone rang. It was my high school friend Lydia. I answered the call, and hearing her warm voice made me feel better. After a brief chat, I told her all my troubles. Lydia listened quietly. After a moment, she said, “You are very good at writing. Why not try something more meaningful You like writing, so why not try writing for magazines There are many opportunities out there.”
“Writing for magazines I’m not sure” I replied. “I don’t know how to write that kind of article, and I don’t know what they want.”
“You can research it yourself,” she encouraged me. “In high school, you always found ways to solve problems. Now, you are facing a problem. Why not try to find a way out for yourself You can take the first step.” “You’re right,” I said. “I will give it a try.”
After the call, I started researching magazines online. I learned about the topics they usually covered and the types of articles that were popular.
