Cecilia Blomdahl is nothing less than a social media star, with nearly 4. 7 million followers. Her most popular TikTok video of Svalbard, a Norwegian island near the North Pole, has 3.7 million views.
Originally from Sweden, Cecilia moved to Svalbard in 2015. Today, she lives in a small house outside Longyearbyen, the world’s northernmost town, with her husband Christ offer and their dog Grim.
Her social media journey began when she started posting content online about everyday life in Svalbard. She says, “When I first moved to Svalbard, I didn’t even own a camera and had no interest in photography. I bought my first drone (无人机) after a few months, mainly because it seemed fun. That was my starting point for content creation.” She was immediately attracted by the views of Svalbard from above, such as walruses (海象) floating on blocks of ice.
Cecilia gained a small following at the beginning by posting photos of Svalbard, but it really took off thanks to one TikTok video. She says, “One day during the polar night, I was walking Grim with Christoffer. It was 3 p. m. with northern lights dancing above us. I found what seemed to be polar bear tracks, so I made a short TikTok video and went to bed.” The next day, she woke up to find 600,000 views and thousands of new followers. That TikTok video became popular, attracting over half a million followers within just a week. From that point, she treated posting online like a job, putting her all into it.
“I think the fact that Svalbard is fairly unknown makes people curious,” she explains. “It’s an exciting place. Every day feels like an adventure. Although I had planned to stay only for a few months, I was attracted by its beauty and eventually fell in love with its way of life.”
What makes Svalbard exciting, however, also makes it difficult at times. The seasons are extreme, with three months of complete darkness during the polar night and four months of endless daylight during the polar day. But she will continue her life in Svalbard.
24．What is Cecilia Blomdahl famous for on social media
A．Her adventure stories. B．Her photography skills.
C．Her videos about Svalbard. D．Her life on a Norwegian island.
25．What caused Cecilia’s social media following to grow significantly
A．Photos of Svalbard.
B．A video of the polar night.
C．A video of polar bear tracks.
D．Photos of walruses on ice.
26．What does the popularity of Cecila’s TikTok video suggest
A．Her video-making skills were really excellent.
B．People were curious about the life in Svalbard.
C．Her bravery on a lonely island impressed people.
D．People were dying to catch the polar bear.
27．What can we infer about Cecilia from the last two paragraphs
A．She had planned to stay in Svalbard longer.
B．She found life in Svalbard easy.
C．Her followers brought her a lot of trouble.
D．Her love for Svalbard makes her brave difficulties.
In a study, the researchers found the decline was reduced by about 15%-20% among those who either volunteered formally or helped in informal ways, such as supporting neighbors, family, or friends. The strongest and most consistent benefit appeared when people spent about two to four hours per week helping others.
“Everyday acts of support — whether organized or personal — can have lasting cognitive (认知的) impact,” said Sae Hwang Han, an assistant professor who led the study. “What stood out to me was that the cognitive benefits of helping others weren’t just short-term improvements but cumulative over time with sustained engagement, and these benefits were evident for both formal volunteering and informal helping. Moderate engagement of just two to four hours was consistently linked to benefits.”
To study these patterns over time, the researchers analyzed data from the national Health and Retirement Study. The dataset includes a representative sample of U.S. residents over age 51, with information dating back to 1998. The researchers accounted for other factors that can shape both helping behavior and cognitive health, including wealth, physical and mental health, and education. Even after considering those influences, cognitive decline tended to slow when people started helping others and continued to do so.
The researchers argue these results strengthen the case for thinking about volunteering, helping, and neighborhood connection as public health issues. This may be especially important later in life, when conditions tied to cognitive decline and harm, are more likely to develop.
Taken together, these findings suggest helping others may support brain health in more than one way. As societies age and concerns about loneliness grow, the results also support continued efforts to keep people involved in ways that let them contribute, even after cognitive decline has begun. “Many older adults in a low state of health often continue to make valuable contributions to those around them,” Han said, “and they may especially benefit from being provided with opportunities to help.”
28．Why does the author mention “supporting neighbors, family, or friends”
A．To exclude a certain group. B．To emphasize a relationship.
C．To argue a specific viewpoint. D．To provide a clear example.
29．What does the underlined word “cumulative” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Briefly lasting. B．Randomly happening.
C．Gradually increasing. D．Instantly occurring.
30．What can be inferred about the researchers’ data analysis
A．It relied on recent survey data.
B．It was based on long-term tracking data.
C．It focused on informal helping acts.
D．It ignored key personal characteristics.
31．What is Han’s attitude toward older adults in poor health helping others
A．Approving. B．Critical. C．Cautious. D．Doubtful.
A biological study from Stanford University finds the diversity of life in the world’s oceans has declined over the past 145 million years during periods of extreme warming. Rising temperatures that make it hard for cold-blooded sea creatures to breathe have likely been among the biggest drivers for changes in ocean biodiversity.
“What’s important about our study is not that it shows we are having a loss of diversity when ocean temperatures rise but that pattern is maintained over millions of years,” said Thomas Boag, who co-authored a study.
The team found proof for that pattern in rock records for ocean animals going back to the time when the first flowering plants appeared and the Rocky Mountains began to rise. They used earth chemical data as an indicator for past temperatures. They found that in colder periods, diversity reaches its maximum at low latitudes (纬度), but in hotter periods, its maximum is at higher latitudes. This pattern has been kept over millions of years.
Armed with this finding, the team developed a digital model of the relationship between ocean temperature and biodiversity of ocean animals. The results suggest ocean biodiversity increases steadily with sea surface temperature up to about 20-25℃. Up beyond that range, biodiversity drops off due to the limits of oxygen content. As temperatures rise, water’s oxygen content falls, while animals’ need for oxygen grows. Imagine a mountain climber who might need extra oxygen to reach the top. Climbers have the option to carry an oxygen tank, but ocean animals, particularly cold-blooded species that rely on the external environment to manage their body temperature, are pushed to move and even likely face extinction.
The findings paint an upsetting future for ocean ecosystems at low latitudes and many coastal communities who rely on them for food in the absence of action to dramatically slow global warming. If global warming is left unchecked in the coming centuries, it would kill off many species of ocean animals and move most survivors away from the warm waters.
32．What is the major finding of the study according to Thomas Boag
A．Global temperatures change.
B．Ocean biodiversity declines.
C．A pattern exists in the ocean ecology.
D．A distribution of ocean lives remains.
33．How did the study team learn the global temperatures in history
A．By developing a digital model.
B．By consulting earth chemical data.
C．By researching ocean rock records.
D．By conducting logical assumptions.
34．What is the last paragraph intended to do
A．Present a warning. B．Express a feeling.
C．Offer a solution. D．Stress a finding.
35．What can be a suitable title of the text
A．Biodiversity and temperature changes
B．Lower temperatures, richer ocean lives
C．Lower latitudes, worse biodiversity risk
D．Global warming and ocean life diversity
Parenting can feel like a series of moments of emotional struggle, from a small child’s emotional explosion to teenage outbursts and everything in between. 36 Instead of seeing yourself as a frustrated parent, consider yourself as your children’s emotional regulation coach, which will reduce stress and your child’s reactivity.
Viewing yourself as an emotion coach redefines your role. See the emotional outbursts not as failures of your parenting but as opportunities for guidance. 37 By teaching your children to handle difficult emotions, you are showing them that you’re a safe person they can rely on. Thus, you create a supportive space for emotional learning.
Just imagine your 6-year-old, Sam. He melts down in the middle of the grocery store because he can’t have a toy he spotted. Your instinct might be frustration, embarrassment, or a desire to get him to stop by offering something he wants. 38
Instead of reacting, you might take a deep breath, bend down to Sam’s level and say, “I can see you’re disappointed. I feel disappointed sometimes, too.” 39 You’re showing him that while his feelings are valid, there are ways to express them respectfully. This shows emotions are manageable and not something to fear.
As an emotion coach, you aren’t punishing your child for their reaction or shutting down their feelings. Instead, you’re guiding him to recognize and handle his emotions, laying the groundwork for better emotional resilience (适应力). The more you practice this, the more your child learns to manage these emotions independently. 40
A．This will make your life less stressful.
B．It is crucial to show the value of belief.
C．You’re more likely to ignore their outbursts.
D．So why not make a change to ease these tensions
E．But, as his emotion coach, you can shift your response.
F．It will help you step back from your children’s behavior.
G．By doing this, you’re modeling how to process emotions calmly.

A production integrating traditional Chinese opera with Western classical music took place in London.
The performance with the name A Hero’s Life tells of the story of Cai Lun, 56 man in China’s Eastern Han Dynasty credited with the invention of paper. It was produced by a famous Chinese theatrical figure Chen Xinyi, who has created the performance style 57 (know) as “symphony poetry drama”.
The soundtrack (配乐), performed by the Fidelio Orchesira, 58 ( compose) by Richard Strauss in the 19th century, in a style called a tone poem. It’s a single continuous movement made up of sequences similar 59 chapters, as in a symphony.
“Cai Lun is a hero, 60 invention changed civilization and advanced cultural progress. But surprisingly, he also experienced misfortune, which stimulated my sympathy — he is a super dramatic character,” Chen adds. “ 61 (combine) a story with music written hundreds of years ago and thousands of kilometers apart seems unlikely, but the instant I heard A Hero’s Life, the pairing came together.”
Linking Chinese theater and Western music is a practice Chen has kept exploring for two decades, eight of her symphony poetry dramas performed 62 (previous), but this was her first performance in England.
“England is William Shakespeare’s home. There’s a 63 (connect) between him and the great playwright Tang Xianzu, who emerged in China at the same time,” she explains. “Then Europe saw the rise of symphonic music at the same time as China saw the rise of Peking Opera. So I love to bring together these two great performance styles and London is 64 I particularly desired 65 (do) it.”

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。
Warren was a young man and he was doing odd jobs outside. Warren’s mother called to tell him that Nana (外婆) Kitty had Alzheimer’s (阿尔茨海默症). The Chicago wind blew hard into the phone, releasing tears from his eyes. So Warren quit his job and returned to his hometown to look after Kitty.
Nana Kitty’s house hadn’t weathered the winters too well. The middle of the roof was slumped (塌) in. The stair was missing a step. Warren felt it had been years since he’d been home, but his mom corrected him, saying it had only been sixteen months. She asked if he was going back to college, but Warren said he focused on taking care of Nana Kitty.
Upon arrival, they found Nana Kitty standing in the hallway, holding a baseball bat, looking doubtful. Warren’s mom asked her to put the bat down and open the door. Nana Kitty’s appearance was untidy - messy white hair, nightgown, untied hiking boots.
Warren remembered hiding under bushes at her house during hot summer days, listening to the sounds of insects, and his mother and grandmother talking.
Inside, the familiar smells of dust, coffee and roast chicken filled the air, bringing back memories. Nana Kitty examined Warren coldly and asked if he was homeless. Technically, he was, as he began his role as her home health assistant.
Warren helped her to the bathroom and found an old straight razor (剃须刀). He managed to shave his beard, cutting himself only once. He showed her his clean face, hoping she’d recognize him. Instead, she gently wiped his wound with toilet paper. The closeness of the gesture brought tears to his eyes. He was just twenty-one, a fatherless boy who had had little success in the world so far. He rested his head on her lap.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Oh little Warren, honey, don’t cry,” she said softly, as if waking from a dream.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
From that moment on, Warren’s days fell into a routine of looking after Nana Kitty.

【分析】M: Pedal Power is a small charity based mainly in the UK. At Pedal Power, they collect second-hand bikes in the UK and send them to some of the poorest regions in the world. When they distribute bikes overseas, they don’t give them away for free. In order to continue operating they need to have a constant supply of bikes which they send out every six months. In August 2000, they simply ran out of money. It was a terrible situation. Fortunately, in October 2001 they won an Enterprise Award which helped them enormously.
Dan Pearman is the founder of Pedal Power. He got the idea of exporting bicycles to developing countries while he was in Ecuador. Dan Pearman went there in 1993 and he joined a voluntary organization. Where Dan Pearman lived in Ecuador was a rural area. His neighbor had the only bicycle in the village, whereas everyone else walked everywhere. His neighbor’s business was very successful. For years Dan Pearman couldn’t understand why. Then he realized having a bike meant his neighbor could reach anywhere he liked without much trouble. Other local carpenters could only accept jobs nearby, so no matter how skilled they were, they could never do as many jobs as his neighbor. When he returned to the UK in 1998, he started planning Pedal Power.

Adversity Is the Path to Growth
Last year, I dreamed of joining the school debate team, yet my fear of public speaking stood like a solid wall in my way.
Instead of giving up, I saw it as a challenge to grow. I started to practice my speeches alone in front of a mirror and then with a few supportive friends. I focused on my message rather than my fear. Progress was slow, but with each attempt, my confidence grew slightly. Finally, I won the title of Best Debater.
This journey revealed that adversity, the internal fear we face, is itself the necessary path to growth. By confronting it, I transformed fear into clarity and hesitation into courage. True growth lies in walking this path, step by step.

“Oh little Warren, honey, don’t cry,” she said softly, as if waking from a dream. Her voice was gentle, carrying the warmth of countless childhood hugs. She touched his hair gently. Warren looked up, his eyes meeting hers. For a brief, magical moment, he saw a glimmer of recognition in her eyes, as if the fog of Alzheimer’s had momentarily lifted. “Nana Kitty,” he choked out, “it’s me. I’m here to take care of you.” She nodded slowly, with a small smile starting to show at the corners of her mouth. In that instant, all the challenges of the past few hours seemed to fade away, replaced by a deep sense of connection.
From that moment on, Warren’s days fell into a routine of looking after Nana Kitty. Each morning, he’d wake up early to make her breakfast, then they’d sit on the chair, enjoying the fresh air and the simple pleasures of each other’s company. Sometimes, Nana Kitty would remember things from his childhood, sharing stories that made him laugh and cry. Other times, she’d be confused, but Warren never lost patience. He knew that beneath the confusion was the same loving grandmother who had always been there for him.
