In a city of wealth, comfort and fine food, there’s a quiet alley (小巷) in London’s Camden where passers-by often take several photos. Sharing space with elegant cafes and world-class bars, a tiny fruit and vegetable stand seems to have been transported from a country road far away. But what makes the stall even more remarkable in the heart of Camden is that payment is on the honor system—customers just throw coins into an old mailbox—and most of the items on offer are priced at 1 in a neighborhood where fresh food usually goes for much, much more.
The greengrocer with a heart of gold—a Chinese immigrant in her 50s who runs this stall alone—is rarely glimpsed by her grateful customers. Lena Wong rises before dawn to prepare to work in her small plot in Enfield, outside London. Depending on the season, she’ll reap onions, eggplant, green peppers, etc. And she works several overnight shifts every week at a nursing home to supplement her and her husband’s modest salaries.
All this started one day as she was selling produce in Enfield, and a young customer said that he barely earned enough to buy food. “I hate the idea of young people walking around hungry,” Lena Wong said. The seed was planted. “I want young people to feel that they’re not forgotten, that they are treasured,” she said. “That not everyone is out for himself. I can make money anytime. Right now, I want to give young people a helping hand.”
Sometimes, when she arrives late in the day, customers get a chance to thank her in person. In return, she’s fond of offering botanical sayings that she collected from a life that has had its share of both joy and pain. “Even in a field full of weeds,” Lena Wong likes to say, “you can grow something— if you put in the effort.”
24．Why is the stall in the quiet alley special
A．It is located in an expensive cafe.
B．People often take good pictures there.
C．It operates on a trust and credit system.
D．The goods sold there come from distant places.
25．What can we learn about Lena Wong’s job
A．It requires her to work long hours. B．It pays well to support her family.
C．It attracts widespread media attention. D．It focuses on organic produce.
26．Who inspired Lena Wong to help others
A．Her grateful customers. B．A hungry youth.
C．Her modest husband. D．Some young people.
27．Which of the following best describes Lena Wong according to the text
A．Kind-hearted. B．Well-educated.
C．Job-centered. D．Strong-willed.
C
Kenyan fig trees can change CO2 into stone, ensuring that the carbon remains in the soil long after the tree has died. This means that fig trees planted for their fruit could offer additional climate benefits.
All trees take up CO2 from the air, and most of that carbon typically ends up as structural molecules (分子) used to build the plant. Some fig trees, however, transform CO2 into a compound (化合物) called calcium oxalate, which bacteria in the tree and the soil can then turn into calcium carbonate (碳酸钙), the main component of stones. Carbon in mineral form can stay within soil for much longer than it can in the tree’s organic matter.
Mike Rowley at the University of Zurich in Switzerland and his colleagues have made the discovery on three species of fig tree native to Africa. Trees known to store carbon in this way include the iroko tree, which also grows in Africa, but doesn’t produce food.
The team first identified the fig tree species that produce calcium carbonate by applying weak acid onto the trees and looking for bubbles (气泡) -a sign of CO2 being released from calcium carbonate. Then they measured how far away they could detect calcium carbonate in their trunks and the surrounding soil. They found not only a large part of the trees above ground, but the entire root structures have pretty much turned into calcium carbonate in the soil where it shouldn’t be, in high concentrations. “What I’m shocked at is that the calcium carbonate really went far deeper into the wood structures than I had expected,” says Rowley.
The researchers are now planning to assess the fig trees’ suitability for agriculture by quantifying their water requirements and fruit yields. “So far, numerous species of tree have been identified which can form calcium carbonate. But we suspect there are many more.” Rowley notes, “This means a significant, underexplored opportunity to help reduce the amount of CO2 released as we plant trees for forestry or fruit.”
28．What can we learn about the fig trees mentioned in the first two paragraphs
A．They can store carbon. B．They release more CO2.
C．They improve soil quality. D．They directly form calcium carbonate.
29．In what way is the fig tree different from the iroko tree
A．Its climate benefits. B．Its African origin. C．Its fruit-bearing quality. D．Its soil requirement.
30．Why was weak acid used in the research
A．To identify the species of the fig tree. B．To test for calcium carbonate in the trees.
C．To check the spread of calcium carbonate. D．To measure the amount of the CO2 released.
31．How does Rowley view the prospect of the fig tree research
A．Depressing. B．Limited. C．Uncertain. D．Promising.
D
A new study gives all of us some extra motivation when it comes to getting outside and exercising: every day you manage to fit in an additional one-hour walk, you could be boosting your lifespan by an extra six hours. That’s the approximate benefit if you’ re currently in the 25 percent least active people in the US, according to fitness tracker data analyzed by a team led by researchers from Griffith University in Australia.
If you’ re in the top 25 percent, an extra walk isn’t as much of a boost—you’ve already received most of the health benefits from exercise— but the study also highlights and quantifies some of the key benefits of an active life.“If all individuals were as active as the top 25 percent of the population, Americans over the age of 40 could live an extra 5.3 years on average,” write the researchers in their published paper. “It can be any type of exercise to reach that top quartile (四分位数) but would roughly be the equivalent of just about three hours of walking per day.”
The team analyzed wearable activity data from the National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES) in the US, which recruits 5,000 volunteers a year. To calculate how changes in activity levels can influence mortality (死亡) risk, researchers referenced the NHANES results against a life-table model (where mortality rates are tracked at specific age points) and previous research into exercise and lifespan. In this particular study, data on 824 participants were excluded because they didn’t wear the trackers for long enough.
Suggesting that exercise leads to a longer life is nothing new, but quantifying and simplifying the benefits can grab attention— whether it’s five minutes a day to reduce blood pressure or nine seconds a week to grow muscle. Now there’s a new target to aim for: an extra hour’s walk a day. If you find that too discouraging a prospect, remember that any amount of exercise makes a difference to health and well- being.
32．What does the new study find
A．Walking can cure some diseases effectively.
B．Perhaps daily walking can extend our lifespan.
C．Increasing exercise mostly benefits active people.
D．The less active people must exercise an hour a day.
33．How much daily walking is roughly needed to reach the top 25% active group
A．Nine seconds. B．One hour. C．Three hours. D．Five hours.
34．What is the function of Paragraph 3
A．Giving the examples. B．Analyzing the data.
C．Predicting the effect. D．Explaining the method.
35．Why does the author mention “nine seconds a week to grow muscle” in the last paragraph
A．To compare three different types of exercise.
B．To emphasize the flexibility in setting exercise goals.
C．To demonstrate the precision of modern exercise research.
D．To highlight the advantage of walking over strength training.
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Interrupting another person’s sentence is normally considered as undesirable. However, it is not always equally impolite. In addition to the hostile (敌意的) takeover of the sentence, which serves to dominate, there are also friendly, even positive interruptions. 36 And it can give a conversation momentum (动力). Over 30 years ago, communication scientist Julia A Goldberg at the University of Wyoming categorized interruptions into three types — bad, good and neutral.
An interruption in the sense of gaining power almost always happens in front of an audience. And this is precisely the type of interruption that men tend to use. Sociologists from Princeton University found that the larger a group is, the more likely it is that men will take the floor. 37 This is because “speaking time also has an influence on dominance”, says Kotthoff.
38 These interruptions can be used to express interest, for example by asking a quick question (“Do you mean Mina from 9b ”), commenting on something quickly (“How exciting!”) or making approving humming noises (“Mmm”). 39 The person speaking feels even more heard and there is a resonance (共鸣) between the two.
“Of course, even mild interruptions can be unpleasant for the person being interrupted,” according to communication trainer Jorg Abromeit. For example, when someone asks a question just as the speaker is about to expand on the important part of their message. Asking questions too quickly and too often can also be annoying. The situation is similar with the third group of interruptions, neutral interruptions. They have no deeper meaning. 40
Therefore, the key to a successful interruption lies not in the act itself, but in the intention behind it and how it makes the other person feel.
A．They are neither about power nor about relationship.
B．Conversations between people are true works of art.
C．And the more powerful men are, the longer they speak.
D．Interrupting can also be helpful and highly appreciative.
E．Being interrupted while speaking is a common thing to experience.
F．The second type of interruptions, on the other hand, consolidate a relationship.
G．This signals to the other person that you are involved and emotionally engaged.

I’m a university professor at an art school. Last year, I decided to 41 online classes to gain some knowledge of Arabic (阿拉伯语).
My teacher and I would meet a few times a month to practice 42 and go over grammar. During our communication, he also 43 details of his life. Gradually, the 44 of the first few lessons gave way to more familiarity and comfort. I stopped feeling embarrassed and began to open up about my own 45 and my battle with Arabic. “Don’t worry; I’m here to 46 you. You’re hardworking and I’m sure you’ll do well in it,” said my teacher. I had 47 my students with similar words in my own teaching. It was 48 to hear them directed at me. The tables turned.
“You are 49 today,” my teacher would say when I used varied vocabulary or expressions. When I heard these four words, I got a feeling of 50 . It also surprised me that my confidence could be encouraged by such 51 praise. That was when I became aware how 52 I had praised my students, because I thought much praise made them self-satisfied. But now, I had a change of heart and 53 that these plain words can mean a lot. Words 54 . And now I become more 55 when I use them.

As a Chinese-German student, I thought I knew well both Chinese culture and modernization. Yet, Suzhou presented a fresh perspective, showing me 56 beautifully tradition and modernity exist in this city.
Seeking a hands-on experience, I realized the amazing patience and skill 57 (apply) behind every stitch (针) were such a miracle, weaving stories with threads. It struck me that this isn’t just handcraft, but an art form and a slice of history.
Walking through Suzhou at night, I 58 (transport) to another world with the streetlights, crowded markets, and street food. Walking down the Pingjiang Road, where ancient buildings meet modern lighting, I felt 59 unique beauty of Suzhou. And a visit to the Caoxieshan Archaeological Site Park was even more 60 (strike). Standing in ancient relics, I tried to picture the lives of those 61 (live) here thousands of years ago.
Suzhou 62 (true) deserves its honor as “the city of museums, the city of parks, and the city of theater”, from historical 63 (sight) to modern buildings, famous parks to attractive local cultures. This trip was an enriching exploration of China’s unique mix of tradition and modernity. I gained a deeper connection and appreciation 64 China’s culture and progress. So a journey to Suzhou isn’t just a physical trip, and it also benefits a 65 (person) heart and soul.

67．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。
As a forest ranger (护林员), I was making an inspection tour as usual on a misty dawn. Boots sank into the damp path, each step breaking the deep quiet of the ancient woodland. As I adjusted the camera trap on a trunk, its lens (镜头) was still covered with raindrops from last night. Suddenly, a weak crying sound cut through the fog.
Pushing through wet bushes, I stopped instantly. There, in the shallow muddy river, lay an elephant calf (幼崽). Its reddish-brown fur was dirty with mud. The calf’s back leg was trapped unnaturally beneath a messy pile of old wire netting — the kind illegal woodcutters used to mark territories. Old metal pieces were cruel marks of humans in this wild nature reserve. His dark brown eyes locked onto mine, and unexpectedly my normal forest check became a fight against time.
The calf struggled with little strength, and its leg got stuck tighter in the sharp metal wires every time he moved. I thought of Professor Liang, an expert in wildlife protection, who once said, “For endangered species, humans are both threat and hope.” Therefore, I carefully opened my field work-box. The scissors felt tiny as I tried to cut the wires. One wrong move could hurt the calf. Just as I started cutting, a roar came from the fog.
Behind me, the bushes shook violently. Out of the mist came an adult elephant, with ears flapping (拍打) like a storm cloud. She stopped ten steps away, strong muscles tense under gray skin. The morning sunlight cast the mother’s shadow over the trapped calf. We formed a tense triangle — human, mother and calf — bound by fear. A sharp cry of a bird cut through the tension. Its black wings broke the quiet, as if nature itself was watching this delicate moment.
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150个左右；

The mother elephant took a step forward, her eyes never leaving me.

Hours later, I watched the mother elephant and her calf from a distance through cameras.

【原文】
All over the world people enjoy sports. Sports help to keep people healthy, happy and help them to live longer. Sports change with the seasons. People play different games in winter and summer. Games and sports often grow out of people’s work and everyday activities. The Arabs use horses or camels in much of their everyday life; they use them in their sports, too. Some sports are so interesting that people everywhere go in for them. Football, for example, has spread around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or those with many rivers. Some sports or games go back thousands of years, like running or jumping. Chinese boxing, for example, has a very long history. But basketball and volleyball are rather new. Neither one is a hundred years old yet. People are inventing new sports or games all the time. People from different countries may not be able to understand each other, but after a game, they often become good friends. Sports help to train a person’s character. One learns to fight hard but fight fair, to win without pride and to lose with grace.

66．Dear classmates,
I firmly believe our school library should buy e-books. Here are my reasons.
First, e-books save space — one device holds hundreds of them, unlike physical books. Second, they’re accessible anytime: we can read them on campus or at home without borrowing. Also, many e-books have features like search tools, making study easier.
In short, e-books bring great convenience. Let’s support this idea!
67． The mother elephant took a step forward, her eyes never leaving me. I stood still, my heart pounding wildly. She approached cautiously and gently nudged the calf with her trunk. The trapped leg was now even more tightly caught in the wires. I knew I had to do something fast. With trembling hands, I resumed cutting the wires, all the while keeping an eye on the mother elephant. To my relief, she seemed to sense my intention and remained calm. After what felt like an eternity, the last piece of wire fell away, freeing the calf’s leg.
Hours later, I watched the mother elephant and her calf from a distance through cameras. They were walking slowly but steadily towards the heart of the forest. The calf occasionally stumbled, but the mother was always there to support him. Seeing them disappear into the greenery, a wave of emotion washed over me. This encounter reminded me of the delicate balance between humans and wildlife. We have the power to destroy, but also the ability to heal. As long as we choose hope over threat, there will always be a chance for coexistence.
