In the lively world of technological wonders, one woman’s quiet devotion has been protecting the very heart of our planet. Dr. Sylvia Earle, an American marine (海洋的) biologist and oceanographer, has spent over seven decades as a champion for the world’s oceans. Her journey, marked by groundbreaking exploration and tireless advocacy, has earned her the moniker “Her Deepness.”
Her deep connection began in childhood and solidified into a lifelong cause. In 1970, she led the historic Tektite II project, commanding the first all-female team of aquanauts (海底观察员) who lived in an underwater habitat for two weeks, conducting pioneering research. This was merely an opening. A decade later, she walked on the seafloor at a record depth of 1,250 feet in a specialized suit, experiencing the ocean’s solitude firsthand. Her scientific work has been fundamental, cataloguing thousands of marine species and revealing the complex, delicate web of deep-sea ecosystems.
Dr. Earle’s greatest contribution, however, is her transformative voice as a public advocate. Witnessing the intensifying decline of coral reefs (珊瑚礁) and marine biodiversity, she used her credibility as a scientist to sound the alarm. In 2009, she founded Mission Blue, inspiring a global association to establish “Hope Spots” — vital marine areas considered critical to the ocean’s health, similar to underwater national parks. Her powerful TED talks and award- winning documentaries have translated complex marine science into a convincing and urgent narrative about the ocean’s role in regulating climate and supporting all life.
Now in her late 80s, Dr. Earle continues to dive and campaign with passion. From her early days breaking barriers in a male-dominated field to her current role as a respected elder stateswoman for the planet, her life is a testament (证明) to unwavering passion.
Dr. Sylvia Earle is more than an explorer; she is the ocean’s most loyal guardian. Her legacy reminds us that to know and understand the blue heart of our planet is the first and most crucial step in fighting for its future.
4. What does the underlined word “moniker” most probably mean
A. Occupation. B. Approval. C. Qualification. D. Title.
5. How does Dr. Earle reveal the true picture of the deep-sea ecosystems
A. By doing on-site research. B. By listing convincing numbers.
C. By citing historical records. D. By making project presentations.
6. What is Dr. Earle’s contribution mentioned in paragraph 3
A. Her consistent data. B. Her tireless advocacy.
C. Her critical attitude. D. Her insightful analysis.
7. What can Dr. Sylvia Earle literally be referred to as
A. A fashion celebrity. B. A cultural messenger.
C. An ocean guardian. D. A heritage enthusiast.
(C)
Once an ignored industrial waterfront lined with abandoned storehouses and polluted soil, the newly opened Harmony Park is greatly transforming the city’s landscape and the lives of its residents. More than just a green space, this 50-hectare (公顷) urban ecological park represents a bold step towards sustainable (可持续的) city living, demonstrating how nature can be perfectly and productively woven back into the concrete jungle of a metropolis (大都市) .
Designed with advanced ecological engineering principles, the park functions as a fully integrated ecosystem. Over 20, 000 native trees and bushes, including drought-resistant oaks, lindens, and expansive pollinator-friendly wildflower meadows, form a multi-layered habitat for diverse local species. Bird monitoring has already documented the return of kingfishers, while sensor-equipped “hedgehog highways” under pathways safeguard small animal movement. The park’s centerpiece is a 3-hectare constructed wetland, fed entirely by an advanced rainwater harvesting system that collects water from the park’s pathways and seven green roofs on site structures. This natural filtration (过滤) system processes an estimated 15, 000 cubic meters of water annually, removing over 80% of pollutants before clean water slowly recharges the- nearby river, where native fish populations are rebounding (回升) .
For citizens, the park delivers measurable, multi-layered benefits. Its 5 kilometers of accessible trails, outdoor classrooms with real- time environmental data displays, and over thirty community garden plots promote health, education, and social unity. Crucially, it serves as a vital “cooling island.” A municipal sensor network shows the park’s core temperature can be up to 5-7 degrees Celsius lower than the surrounding asphalt-heavy districts on a summer afternoon, with the cooling effect perceptible up to 500 meters downwind. The trees act as a natural air filter, estimated to trap 2-3 tons of PM annually, while vegetation belts reduce traffic noise by a significant 10 decibels, creating a zone of tranquility.
Harmony Park plays, therefore, far more than its recreational (娱乐的) role; it is critical municipal green infrastructure (基础设施) . It is an ideal example of urban planning, where environmental repair, climate recovery, and community health are fundamentally interconnected. As global cities grow more crowded and face rising climate pressures, such carefully and systematically designed, multi-functional ecological spaces are not a luxury, but an essential investment (投资) in a sustainable and truly livable urban future.
8. What can we learn about the park from paragraph 2
A. Its integrated ecosystem. B. Its recreational function.
C. Its philosophical principles. D. Its abstract design concept.
9. How does the park benefit citizens
A. It monitors their leisure. B. It removes social conflicts.
C. It ensures their well- being. D. It provides coolness and quiet.
10. Which word best describes the planning of the park
A. Money-consuming. B. Conventional.
C. Forward-looking. D. Contradictory.
11. What is the passage generally about
A. Why vast city parks will gain popularity in modern cities.
B. How Harmony Park Breathes New Life into Metropolis.
C. What distinguishes Harmony Park from others of its kind.
D. Where the value of investment in ecological spaces lies.
D)
Have you ever woken up with a clear answer to a problem that puzzled you the night before Scientists have long known that sleep helps memory, but a groundbreaking study from the University of Oxford now reveals how — and it’s more active than we ever imagined.
Using a new, ultra-sensitive brain imaging technique on sleeping mice, researchers observed a fascinating night-time activity. While the body is still, the brain’s hippocampus (海马体) — the area key for memory — replays the day’s events at high speed, like a movie on fast-forward.
But here’s the key part: this replay isn’t just random (随机的). The brain actively selects which memories to strengthen. During deep sleep, it prioritizes (优先) replaying orders linked to a future reward. In the experiment, mice that found food in a maze had that specific route “replayed” much more frequently during sleep than less successful paths. It’s as if the brain sorts through the day’s files, tags the most important ones, and saves them to the long-term storage of the cortex (大脑皮层) .
“We’ve moved from knowing sleep is important for memory to seeing the mechanism of selection in real time,” said lead researcher Dr. Anya Sharma. “The sleeping brain isn’t passive; it’s a smart, efficient editor, deciding what to keep and what to get rid of.”
This discovery has huge implications. It explains why studying intensively throughout the night often fails — without sleep, there’s no editing process. It also opens new paths for helping people with memory disorders, potentially by enhancing this natural, selective replay during sleep.
So the next time you face a tough decision, remember: your best thinking might not happen when you’re awake, but while you’re fast asleep, with your brain working the night shift to guide your future.
12. What does the new study reveal
A. How sleep helps memory. B. Whether you should sleep.
C. When your memory returns. D. Why the brain stays active.
13. Why is “the sleeping brain” compared to an “editor” in Para 4
A. To suggest the vital importance of sleep. B. To advocate an effective sleep pattern.
C. To demonstrate its remarkable efficiency. D. To clarify its mechanism of selection.
14. Which habit won’t be encouraged accordingly for students to improve memory
A. Get sufficient sleep. B. Grasp the art of memory.
C. Burn the midnight oil. D. Leave problems as they are.
15. What’s the best title for the passage
A. Your sleep’s role in imagination B. Your Brain’s “Silent” Night Shift
C. The potential of the new discovery D. A proven method of memorization

Dinner that stares back
Back in the last summer, I was busy studying in Beijing when I suddenly got homesick for some Western food. So I wandered the streets nearby until I came across a restaurant and finally found it — whole chicken! In my head, I imagined a juicy, tender whole bird with perfectly crispy browned skin. ___16___
I waved a waiter over and hurriedly pointed to the line on the menu to show my food request. Finally, I would be able to satisfy my longing.
___17___ Rather than a golden crispy brown, the skin was instead bright yellow. But the most apparent was something that I would rather not have seen at all: the head! In all my years of eating chicken, I had never seen the head still attached to the rest of the body. Here it was, though, staring back at me.
In America, the way food is presented means they aren’t reminded of the living animal it once was, despite the fact that people understand where meat comes from. Then there in a restaurant I was staring face to face with the whole dead bird on my plate. ___18___
Still, I carried on, trying to ignore the head while I dug into the chicken breast. But, even here, I found organs like the heart and lungs that had not been totally removed. ___19___ Finally, I gave up and just focused on the rice instead.
Afterward, I came to understand that the Chinese definition of a “whole chicken” is different from my assumptions. ___20___ Although my tolerance (忍受) for food has expanded since then, I will never forget the first time I ordered a whole chicken and got more than I had expected.
A. It was far more than I could stand.
B. Culture and cuisine go hand in hand.
C. That fact was made much more obvious.
D. Some food has such an exceptional recipe there.
E. Yet, I was shocked when the bird landed on my plate.
F. It is just the way chicken is always prepared in America.
G. Chicken is always served with the head in Chinese cuisine.

For months, Leo, who had just moved here from Italy, sat alone at lunch, methodically eating sandwiches that seemed to hold no joy. We were friendly, but he never joined our noisy table. The unspoken rule was clear: he preferred his solitude (独处).

We ___27___. The soup was deep and ___28___, whispering of slow-cooked vegetables and distant kitchens. “It tastes like… sunlight,” someone mumbled in amazement. Leo ___29___ smiled — a real, broad smile. “It tastes like my Nonna’s garden,” he said.
That soup did more than fill our stomachs; it dissolved (消除) a (an) ____30____ wall. Leo’s solitude hadn’t been unfriendliness, but a quiet ____31____ for a flavor his school lunchbox couldn’t contain. By sharing the one thing that truly ____32____ him — the taste of home — he didn’t just join our table; he ____33____ its borders.

Like it or not, queuing is necessary to keep order and stop people from getting angry at each other.

My husband and I were driving through rural Pennsylvania, eager to reach our cabin (林中小屋) for a weekend getaway. Halfway there, our truck unexpectedly broke down on a narrow country road. The sun was setting, painting the sky in warm colors of orange and pink. “We are stuck,” I sighed, “this ruins everything.” My husband tried restarting the engine repeatedly, but it remained silent, a cloud of disappointment hanging over us.
Just then, an old pickup truck pulled over. The driver, an old man with a weathered face and hardened hands, asked, “Need a hand ” We explained our situation, and he nodded. “I’m Joe. Got a garage a mile down the road. I’ll tow (拖车) you there.” He hooked up (钩住) our truck and led the way, chatting casually (随意地) about the local farms and his grandchildren, his friendly manner easing our worries.
At Joe’s small garage, he checked our car. “Fuel pump’s shot,” he said. “Can’t fix it tonight, but you can stay at my place — my wife’s making meatloaf, and there’s extra room. I’ll drive you to the cabin early tomorrow morning.” We hesitated, but his warm smile put us at ease. His wife, Martha, greeted us with a hug and set extra plates on the table. The meatloaf was delicious, and their stories of small-town life made us feel right at home.
As we settled into the guest room, I thought about how our “disaster” had turned into something unexpected — a chance to meet kind strangers who restored (恢复) our faith in humanity. The next day, Joe dropped us off, refusing any payment. “Just pass it on,” he said, his eyes twinkling with sincerity. We thanked him repeatedly and headed to the cabin, still talking about their kindness as we unpacked our hiking equipment.
That afternoon, as we hiked through the woods, the fresh air and beautiful scenery lifting our spirits, we heard a faint cry for help. Following the sound, we found a teenage girl sitting on a rock, holding her ankle tightly.

___17___ Rather than a golden crispy brown, the skin was instead bright yellow. But the most apparent was something that I would rather not have seen at all: the head! In all my years of eating chicken, I had never seen the head still attached to the rest of the body. Here it was, though, staring back at me.
In America, the way food is presented means they aren’t reminded of the living animal it once was, despite the fact that people understand where meat comes from. Then there in a restaurant I was staring face to face with the whole dead bird on my plate. ___18___
Still, I carried on, trying to ignore the head while I dug into the chicken breast. But, even here, I found organs like the heart and lungs that had not been totally removed. ___19___ Finally, I gave up and just focused on the rice instead.
Afterward, I came to understand that the Chinese definition of a “whole chicken” is different from my assumptions. ___20___ Although my tolerance (忍受) for food has expanded since then, I will never forget the first time I ordered a whole chicken and got more than I had expected.
A. It was far more than I could stand.
B. Culture and cuisine go hand in hand.
C. That fact was made much more obvious.
D. Some food has such an exceptional recipe there.
E. Yet, I was shocked when the bird landed on my plate.
F. It is just the way chicken is always prepared in America.
G. Chicken is always served with the head in Chinese cuisine.

Should students be involved in campus cleaning
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Should students be involved in campus cleaning
As for whether we students should be involved in campus cleaning, I think we should be. My reasons are as follows.
Students’ involvement in cleaning embodies the educational mission of our school. This approach serves as a valuable form of labor education. It transforms cleaning from a chore into a meaningful practice-cultivating responsibility, teamwork, and respect for shared spaces. Our involvement in maintaining campus hygiene makes the need for conservation tangible and personally relevant, which is essential for driving behavioral change. Campus cleaning, while fostering a cleaner and more caring campus culture, prepares us to become conscientious citizens.

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
My husband and I were driving through rural Pennsylvania, eager to reach our cabin (林中小屋) for a weekend getaway. Halfway there, our truck unexpectedly broke down on a narrow country road. The sun was setting, painting the sky in warm colors of orange and pink. “We are stuck,” I sighed, “this ruins everything.” My husband tried restarting the engine repeatedly, but it remained silent, a cloud of disappointment hanging over us.
Just then, an old pickup truck pulled over. The driver, an old man with a weathered face and hardened hands, asked, “Need a hand ” We explained our situation, and he nodded. “I’m Joe. Got a garage a mile down the road. I’ll tow (拖车) you there.” He hooked up (钩住) our truck and led the way, chatting casually (随意地) about the local farms and his grandchildren, his friendly manner easing our worries.
At Joe’s small garage, he checked our car. “Fuel pump’s shot,” he said. “Can’t fix it tonight, but you can stay at my place — my wife’s making meatloaf, and there’s extra room. I’ll drive you to the cabin early tomorrow morning.” We hesitated, but his warm smile put us at ease. His wife, Martha, greeted us with a hug and set extra plates on the table. The meatloaf was delicious, and their stories of small-town life made us feel right at home.
As we settled into the guest room, I thought about how our “disaster” had turned into something unexpected — a chance to meet kind strangers who restored (恢复) our faith in humanity. The next day, Joe dropped us off, refusing any payment. “Just pass it on,” he said, his eyes twinkling with sincerity. We thanked him repeatedly and headed to the cabin, still talking about their kindness as we unpacked our hiking equipment.
That afternoon, as we hiked through the woods, the fresh air and beautiful scenery lifting our spirits, we heard a faint cry for help. Following the sound, we found a teenage girl sitting on a rock, holding her ankle tightly.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
We rushed to her side and asked what had happened. “I twisted my ankle by accident I can’t walk now, but I have called my parents,” she responded, her face pale. Looking at her frightened eyes, Joe’s words echoed in my mind: “Just pass it on.” My husband immediately knelt down to examine her ankle. “It is a sprain,” he said with certainty. Then he, using his first aid knowledge, stabilized her ankle with a bandage from our backpack. Meanwhile, I sat beside her, reassuring her all the while. “Now we get you back to our cabin; it’s not far,” my husband suggested. The girl nodded gratefully. Together, we supported her, making our way back to ward the cabin. With each careful step, I felt a quiet sense of purpose —this was our chance.
Just as we got her back to the cabin, the girl’s parents arrived. Frantic with worry, they rushed over to hug Lila, showering her with relieved kisses before turning to us with heartfelt gratitude. “We don’t know how to thank you,” her father said, handing us a card with their contact information. “Please let us return the favor someday.” We declined their offer, telling them about Joe and Martha’s kindness and how we were just passing it on. As Lila and her parents drove away, my husband squeezed my hand. “Joe was right,” he said. “Kindness is a chain that keeps growing.” That weekend, our “ruined” getaway became one we’d never forget —proof that the best moments often come from the unplanned ones.
