In Delhi, a city distinguished for more car noises than birdsong, a group of women is learning to talk with the wild once more. It began on an ordinary Saturday morning at the edge of Sanjay Van.
As dawn light came through the roots of a tree, Rama stood at the start of the path. She remembered her father’s posts in Odisha — the days of towering forests and streams echoing from cliff bases. Now, facing twenty women of varying ages, she began softly, “Today we are not hurrying. We are learning to see.”
The group disappeared into the green shade. At a bend in the Aravalli Biodiversity Park, Nidhi Batra paused, pointing to the plant nearly hidden in a rock. “It has been waiting here for three years,” she said, her voice gentle as if not to disturb this quiet perseverance. In the group, a young mother who usually kept her eyes glued to her phone screen bent down for the first time, touching it with her fingertips. This was the fourth season of walks for “Women and Wilderness”. Since January 2024, such gatherings had occurred every weekend. “A safe space” — Perli often used this term. It meant not only the physical safety of the walk but also a permitted focus.
At sunset, the group returned to the starting point. No one was in a rush to leave. A silver-haired woman shared a feather she had found; a young girl showed a four-leaf grass captured on her phone. What they carried away was not a checklist of knowledge, but a reawakening of the senses.
The city remained as loud as ever, yet within these women, a quiet wilderness began to grow — one deeper than Sanjay Van itself. It was a place without signs or tracks, yet it led them to the star-filled skies they’d seen as children. It had no edges, yet it connected them to all the others who, even surrounded by steel and concrete, had never lost the memory of breathing in the smell of wet earth.
24．What is Delhi known for
A．Its quiet parks. B．The sounds of birds.
C．The noise of traffic. D．Tall buildings.
25．What does Rama’s forest memory show
A．Dislike for her childhood. B．Nature as part of her past.
C．Desire to forget her past. D．Preference for city life.
26．Why did the young mother touch the plant
A．She gained a new understanding of life. B．She was attracted by something unusual.
C．She intended to record it with her device. D．She shifted her focus from digital products.
27．What is the “quiet wilderness” inside the women
A．A new park to be built. B．A list they memorized.
C．A new bond with nature. D．A plan to move away.
A patient with liver (肝脏) failure remains in stable condition two days after using a gene-edited pig liver — a treatment doctors at Xijing Hospital in Xi’an have carried out as a global medical first. The treatment aims to address China’s severe organ supply-demand imbalance. According to 2024 data, over 400 million people in China live with liver diseases, with about 200, 000 hospitalized annually for liver failure. About 181, 000 patients wait for organ transplants, with a supply-demand rate of 1: 7. 35.
The procedure connected the patient’s blood flow system to a pig liver placed in a mechanical device outside the body. The medical team used a liver from a pig with six genetic changes designed to reduce organ rejection risk. The organ was placed in a specialized machine and connected to the patient’s leg vein (静脉) to establish a blood flow system. During the 66-hour treatment, which concluded at 10 am on Tuesday, the pig liver performed essential functions including breakdown, purification and production. The patient’s own liver remained in place throughout. The closed equipment maintained a stable environment by precisely controlling temperature, pressure, and oxygenation.
After the equipment was disconnected, the hospital reported sustained and significant improvement in the patient’s key liver function markers. Wang Lin, director of the hospital’s surgery department, confirmed the patient’s liver function remained stable nearly 50 hours after stopping the machine. While noting it was too early to draw a final conclusion on potential reappearance, he called the stability a satisfactory outcome.
Unlike standard transplants, this method is minimally invasive, similar to kidney dialysis (透析). Wang explained this approach can temporarily sustain patients awaiting suitable donor livers. The treatment was led by academician Dou Kefeng, with support from Chinese medical institutions and ClonOrgan Biotechnology Co. Dou described the case as a landmark advancement in clinical transplantation research, noting China’s stable supply of gene-edited pigs and mature technology give this treatment great potential.
28．What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A．The medical team behind treatment. B．The process of the treatment.
C．The final result of the procedure. D．The future impact of the method.
29．What can we learn about the treatment
A．Genetic changes help lower the risk of organ rejection.
B．The equipment controlled the patient’s blood flow.
C．The patient’s liver function showed slight improvement.
D．The patient’s physical signs returned to normal levels.
30．What does the underlined phrase “minimally invasive” in paragraph 4 mean
A．Causing little damage to the body. B．Requiring long-term recovery.
C．Involving complex equipment. D．Needing donor matching.
31．Which is the best title for the passage
A．A Liver Failure Patient Uses Pig Liver B．A Major Breakthrough in Liver Treatment
C．Pig Liver Transplanted into Human Body D．Gene-edited Pig Liver Offers New Hope
The announcement that China’s railway network will significantly expand its “quiet carriage” service beginning February 1 is a modest reform with huge significance. By extending this option to nearly all “D” and “G” series high-speed trains, China State Railway Group is acknowledging a shift in public expectations: that modern travel should not only be fast, but also kind and respectful of personal space.
In an era when speed is often taken for granted, comfort is increasingly defined by atmosphere. Noise — constant phone calls, deafening videos, loud conversations — has become a common source of friction in public transport. The quiet carriage is a direct response, recognizing that silence itself can be a valuable public good.
Since its pilot launch in late 2020, the quiet carriage has built a loyal following. Its popularity sends a clear message: there is real demand for different services that respect varying travel needs. A mature public transport system should accommodate both lively conversation and calm. This expansion also signals confidence in social self-regulation. Passengers must agree to a “quiet agreement, ” promising to keep noise to a minimum. This is not merely procedural but an experiment in trust — an assumption that citizens, when clearly informed, are capable of regulating their own conduct.
Whether this succeeds depends on everyday behavior. The quiet carriage works only if passengers internalize its spirit. Silence is sustained by mutual awareness and self- control. In this sense, each train becomes a small, moving society.
Critics may argue enforcement is difficult, but this misses the point. The purpose is not about keeping people apart, but about allowing them to choose. Those preferring a relaxed environment have alternatives. What matters is that those who choose silence can expect it to be honored.
Ultimately, this expansion is about trust — between institutions and citizens, and among passengers themselves. If embraced sincerely, the quiet carriage can symbolize a society learning to respect the invisible boundaries that make collective life possible. Sometimes, progress sounds like silence.
32．What can we infer from “quiet carriage”
A．It will be expanded to more trains. B．Trains will all be equipped soon.
C．Public cares more about personal space. D．It aims to replace ordinary carriages.
33．Why was the quiet carriage created
A．To meet speed demands. B．To solve transport noise.
C．To create total silence. D．To redefine travel comfort.
34．What’s the benefit of introducing quiet carriage
A．It reveals demand for better service. B．It helps create a zero-noise atmosphere.
C．It requires people to internalize its spirit. D．It encourages passengers’ self-regulation.
35．What can we learn from the last two paragraphs
A．It is hard but important to carry out. B．It provides an alternative for people.
C．It is ultimately about building trust. D．It respects invisible social boundaries.
You may have fun traditions with your family, especially during the holiday season. Whether walking through the neighborhood to see the festive lights, baking special treats together, or watching a favorite movie, these traditions can help you feel closer to the people you love. 36 Here’s how to get started.
Make a list of your family’s traditions. This time of year, they could include making a family recipe, taking a family photo, lighting candles together, or getting matching TV programs. 37 So ask them what traditions they remember from their childhoods.
38 You could discuss making a special annual outing, like visiting a nice restaurant or seeing a show. You and your family could also establish new traditions on the morning after a big holiday, like going on a family hike or setting up a bagel bar with toppings like cream cheese, honey, and jam.
Many families have members who love to organize and gather everyone. Think about who those people are in your family, whether it’s a parent, aunt, uncle, or grandparent. 39 They can also plan a video call with relatives who live far away but would want to share in the fun.
Traditions are a great way to make memories with your family. 40 Did your family enjoy it Is there anything you would change next time The point of a tradition is to do it again. It’s totally OK for it to grow and change in a way that works best for your family.

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。
My brother’s wedding took us to Mexico City, a wonderful city with delicious food but an alarming crime rate, including tourist kidnappings (绑架). Before our trip, my sister-in-law, who lived there, warned us seriously, “Never get in a red-and-gold taxi. Those aren’t licensed, and anyone can paint their car, kidnap you and steal your money.”
“Check. Avoid red-and-gold taxis,” I replied.
On the wedding day, my mother and I dressed up beautifully, ready to go to the wedding venue just across the street. We waited outside our hotel for transport. Suddenly a coach pulled up, and the hotel staff quickly led us to empty seats. The coach was full of people in wedding dresses and suits, chatting lively in Spanish. — I don’t speak Spanish.
We asked the driver if heading to our brother’s wedding, and he nodded. We trusted him, but soon I realized everyone else was going to a different wedding; the coach drove past our destination. My mother panicked and begged to get off, but the driver only said, “Not safe.”
Twenty minutes later, we reached another wedding hall. My mother was in full boil and certain she was going to miss her son’s wedding and take pictures before the church. The driver left us there. I asked the porter to call an official white taxi, but a slightly beat-up red-and-gold one arrived. As my mother was objecting, I pushed her in: “We need to get to the wedding and I have faith in people.”
On our way, my mother spoke to her husband on the phone: “We are in a red-and-gold taxi with a driver who doesn’t speak English. I don’t know where we’re going or if we’re safe. I don’t even know if he knows our destination.” When she hung up, I comforted her: “Mom, we have a great driver. He will get us there in time for the pictures and the wedding.”
“He’s driving like a crazy person!” she insisted.
“He’s driving like every other driver in Mexico City, and he doesn’t want to be in an accident, either. All we can do is be patient.”
We sweated through our preparations for twenty minutes — the real threat of the taxi was no air conditioning. After a long, tense ride, I noticed we were finally on the right road.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Just then, the driver turned his head and spoke to us in clear English.

【原文】 M: Scientists in Germany have cast doubt on a previously believed assumption that the processing speed of our brains starts to decline from the age of 20. Until now, it has been thought that our level of understanding peaks when we are 20 and declines thereafter. Lead researcher Doctor Mischa von Krause of Heidelberg University offered hope to older people who worry about increasing forgetfulness or reduced brainpower. He said mental abilities were still powerful at the age of 60 and do not decrease before then. The study was based on data from over 1.1 million people aged between 10 and 80 years old. The results showed that our mental processing speed remains relatively constant until the age of 60, but does start to decline from our seventh decade. The researchers said people’s mental processing speed actually increases in their 20s and remains high until 60. Dr. Von Krause said until older adulthood, the speed of information processing in the task they studied hardly changed. He added that older people do take longer to make decisions, but said this was because we become more cautious and responsible as we age. The study could cast light on diseases such as Alzheimer’s.

Pros: Screen Time Helps Teenagers to Relax
Does Screen Time Help Teenagers to Relax
When it comes to the debate over whether screen time helps teenagers to relax, I firmly believe that proper screen time can serve as an effective way for teenagers to relieve stress.
First and foremost, after a long day of hard work, funny short videos or casual games offer us a quick break from heavy academic pressure. What’s more, we can easily keep in touch with friends and family members through screens, sharing our worries and joys. Last but not least, many meditation apps designed for teenagers can guide us to relax ourselves scientifically.
In conclusion, as long as we use screen time properly, it will be useful to help us get refreshed.
Cons: Screen Time Does Not Help Teenagers to Relax
Does Screen Time Help Teenagers to Relax
When it comes to the debate over whether screen time helps teenagers to relax, I am convinced that screen time usually fails to bring us real relaxation.
First of all, staring at screens keeps our brains excited especially before rest, affecting sleep quality and leaving us more exhausted. Besides, it is easy to become addicted to screens, which will waste our time and cause more anxiety. Worse still, the perfect images displayed on social media will cause comparison and self-doubt and add to our psychological stress.
In fact, too much screen time makes us tired physically and mentally. Having a walk or playing basketball with friends may be a much better choice for us!

Just then, the driver turned his head and spoke to us in clear English. Hearing his clear and fluent English, both my mother and I froze with shock. He gently asked if we were heading to my brother’s wedding, his eyes filled with kindness. My mother instantly turned crimson, ashamed of her unreasonable complaints and deep regret. I breathed a thorough sigh of relief, my long-suspended heart resting with gratitude and peace. The car sped smoothly, and we arrived just in time as the wedding photographs were about to end.
Though our makeup was messy and dresses wrinkled, we hurried to join the wedding happily. Miserable as our appearance was, we rushed to them to without the slightest hesitation.
