Last September, I drove to a protected wetland near my home in Oakland, California. It was the first time that I had gone somewhere merely to watch birds. Since this unique journey, I’ve seen 452 species, including 307 this year alone.
In some birding circles, people claim anyone who looks at birds is a birder. I’ve cared about birds and other animals for my entire life, and I’ve written about them throughout my two decades as a science writer, but I mark the moment when I specifically chose to devote time and energy to them as the moment I became a birder.
Birding has significantly increased the time spent outdoors. It has motivated me to explore Oakland in ways I never would have. While birding, I seem impervious to heat, cold, hunger and thirst. My senses focus only on the present, and my head becomes extremely untroubled. I also feel a much deeper connection to the natural world, which I have long written about but always remained slightly distant from.
These recent years have taught me that I’m smaller when I’m not actively looking after myself, that I have value for my world and my community beyond ceaseless production, and that pursuits like birding that encourage joy, wonder and bond with places are not sidebars to a fulfilled life but the essence.
It’s easy to perceive birding as something you do when you’re not working not being productive, and even an escape from reality. Instead, for me, birding means absorbing myself in the present moment: my thoughts quiet, my senses heightened, and I respond to real, observable events in nature with focused awareness without being distracted (使分心) by small, unimportant matters. I don’t need to know who the main characters are on social media and what everyone is commenting on them, when I can instead spend an hour trying to locate a rare bird.
24. Why did the author think the journey to the wetland special
A. He protected bird species there. B. He fell in love with birding again.
C. He made his true start as a birder. D. He completed his writing during it.
25. What does the underlined word “impervious” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Attentive. B. Subject. C. Resistant. D. Sensitive.
26. What lesson does the author probably learn
A. Outdoor pursuits are a must-have. B. Self-care can help fuel self-worth.
C. Happiness serves as the core of life. D. Productivity defines personal value.
27. How does the author view birding according to the last paragraph
A. A complete engagement with reality. B. A temporary escape from busy life.
C. A training in focus and observation. D. A substitute for online activities.
C
Sound signals are vital for animals deep in the dark oceans to communicate and search for food. That way of life has been threatened from increasing human noise. A leading cause is shipping-noise emissions.
With roughly 90% of traded goods traveling by sea, quieting the ocean through reductions in shipping is untenable. Efforts to make ships more efficient and less polluting may also reduce noise. But experts say those measures won’t do enough to restore quiet. So, a range of technologies are being developed to allow humans and other animals to co-exist in the ocean.
Much of the underwater noise a ship produces comes from its propeller (螺旋桨). The low-frequency noise it produces can travel thousands of metres underwater without losing strength, interrupting the movements of whales which use these frequencies to communicate.
One solution by researchers at the University of British Columbia(UBC), makes the metal propeller flexible, allowing their tips to bend and twist, preventing bubbles from forming and reducing the noise the propeller produces, says Rajeev of UBC.
More ideas are also on the table. Giovanni, a marine-engineering researcher, is investigating whether an acoustic (音响的) black hole can help. Such an object, which aims to trap sound like black holes trap light, can be built by fixing steel beams to the inside of the ship. Laboratory tests show this can reduce vibrations like the best available alternatives, without the added weight or fire risk these often involve.
Tom Smith, a researcher in naval architecture, says that technological solutions for reducing ocean noise are abundant. What is missing is a willingness for shipbuilders and owners to use them. Refitting ships to be quieter is complex and costly, and not seen as a priority at present.
That may change. Some seaports now offer discounts equal to thousands of dollars for ships that meet the highest level of noise reduction. Since the International Maritime Organisation has promised to reduce carbon emissions from international shipping by 70% by 2040, this may prove a good deal.
28. What’s the harm shipping-noise emissions do to a deep-sea animal
A. Its habitat is polluted by the emissions. B. Its way of communication is interrupted.
C. It can’t find enough neighboring animals. D. It has to travel a longer distance for food.
29. What does the underlined word “untenable” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Impractical. B. Sensible. C. Irregular. D. Universal.
30. What’s the difficulty in adopting technological solutions according to Tom
A. The technology isn’t reliable to be used. B. It may do great harm to the environment.
C. It’s complicated and adds to the cost of ships. D. It has drawn criticism from the government.
31. What is the main idea of the passage
A. The importance of sound signals in the ocean.
B. The role of shipping in global trade and its environmental impact.
C. The challenges faced by marine engineers in reducing noise pollution.
D. The impact of shipping noise on marine life and the potential solutions.
D
In the blink of an eye, artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly entered every walk of life, from self-driving taxis to software that reads X-rays, to virtual assistants that can schedule meetings and draft e-mails. However, will AI displace entire industries as mechanized factories did before
Like past world-changing tools such as mechanical cloth-making machines, AI is set to reshape the workplace greatly. But techno-pessimists argue AI’s impact has never been seen before. Economists estimate AI could rob 40% of jobs, with machines replacing much skilled human work and note that even remaining jobs may see declining wages due to reduced labor value. Amid these worries, 2024 Nobel Prize-winning economists Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson advise learning from David Ricardo’s flexible thinking about the early Industrial Revolution.
In his work Principles of Political Economy and Taxation, economist Ricardo initially supported new spinning machines (纺纱机), believing they would promote productivity for all. Though home spinners were displaced, many shifted to weaving (织布). However, technology changed everything: one machine outperformed 10-20 handweavers, ending cottage industry. Displaced weavers had no choices as factories created few new jobs, leading to falling wages and social unrest. Witnessing these consequences, Ricardo transformed his view. His 1821 revised work acknowledged that factors boosting national income might also make population extra resources and worsen laborers’ conditions.
England eventually learned from the struggles of handweavers and the working class. The government expanded political representation for industrial cities, passed the 1833 Factory Act to manage child labor, and ended the protectionist Corn Laws in the 1840s to lower food costs.
The history repeats today. As the AI era approaches, Johnson notes that AI has attracted enormous talents, similar to the late-1990s Internet boom, but history — especially the Industrial Revolution — shows that “new miracle machines do not guarantee benefits for most people.” With thoughtful policies, AI can avoid repeating past mistakes and build an inclusive future. When technology is guided by wisdom and responsibility, it can become a powerful tool that lifts people up, reduces inequality, and brings greater opportunities to all.
32. Which question can paragraph 2 answer
A. How is AI to affect the work settings
B. Why has technology replaced human work
C. Who suffered most from the Industrial Revolution
D. What did cloth-making machines bring to workers
33. Why did David Ricardo change his attitude
A. The closure of cottage industry. B. The appearance of spinning and weaving.
C. The indifference of the government. D. The suffering of workers and the society.
34 What lesson can be learned from the text
A. Every step forward is progress. B. Technology makes the complex simple.
C. History is where you find the future. D. With great power comes great responsibility.
35. What might be talked about following the last paragraph
A. Details of David Ricardo’s theories. B. Policy examples for guiding AI.
C. The introduction of the Internet boom. D. The development of AI technology.

It can be challenging to figure out the perfect way to arrange your furniture if you have a small bedroom. However, this can be simplified by placing your key furniture. ___36___
●Place your bed against the most practical wall.
As is often the case with small bedrooms, there may only be one wall in your room that makes sense for the placement of the headboard or the head of the bed. ___37___ This may be the wall across from the door with electrical outlets on either side.
●Center your headboard along the wall.
If you want to be able to walk around all the sides of your bed, centering the bed along the wall with space left on either side may be the best choice. If you choose this option, try to keep the rest of your layout relatively symmetrical (对称的) and balanced. Take into account how big the bed can be. ___38___
●Arrange the bed toward one side of the room.
Pick the most practical wall to press your headboard against, but instead of centering the bed along the wall, slide it over to one side. ___39___ And it might allow you to squeeze a larger piece of furniture along the opposite wall.
● ___40___
This arrangement can be perfect for long, narrow spaces. Place your bed in the corner of your choice, with the headboard and one side of your bed touching the walls. This will leave the rest of the room open for other furniture items.
A. Push the bed into a corner.
B. Downsize your bed, if possible.
C. Locate the wall that works best for this purpose.
D. When approaching this task, start with your bed.
E. If you can, choose a full-sized bed for your small bedroom.
F. This may leave some extra space in front of your closet door.
G. That can determine whether you have room for two bed-stands.

I still remember the day I bought my “nice” notebook. It was a leather-bound journal with cream-colored pages. I was sure it would make me the type of person who journals regularly, and who ___41___ beautiful thoughts. But it didn’t work.
That gorgeous notebook sat ___42___ for months. When I finally opened it, I hesitated. The pages felt too delicate and too ___43___ to waste on my messy handwriting and ideas. So I ___44___ it.

This is surprisingly ___47___. I actually wrote. Every day. Without exception.
The psychology is real. When we ___48___ something too much, we place limits around it, feeling it is “too good”. But the ugly notebook carries no such ___49___ . It has been used. It tells me, “This is a ___50___ for thinking and living, not a museum piece.”
Here’s the thing: ___51___ notebooks are idea incubators (孵化器) . With the pressure off, you experiment more. You try things that might ___52___. And in that freedom, bad ideas I was ___53___ embarrassed about gradually evolved into work I’m proud of. And that’s where the real work of creation happens.

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。
One day, I was sitting at the breakfast table with my five-year-old son, Mateo. I was still recovering from an operation. “Mom, let’s play,” Mateo looked at me and said. Trying hard to ignore the pain in my stomach, I shook my head and replied, “Not today, sweetie.” These days, getting out of bed was a real struggle for me. I longed for strength and happiness, yet the future seemed so hopeless.
All of a sudden, Mateo jumped up from where he was sitting on the kitchen floor. He shouted, “Bird!” and then ran towards our courtyard. I looked in the direction he was looking and, sure enough, there was a white dove (鸽子) landing in a rubber tree. It stayed there for a little while and then flew away. It was quite odd because I’d never seen a white dove in our neighborhood before.
The next morning, I dragged myself into the kitchen. To my surprise, the dove was back, and this time it had a mate carrying some sticks. I pointed to the tree and said to Mateo, “Look, they’re going to build a nest.” Throughout the week, the doves flew in and out of the courtyard, building their nest on top of the rubber tree.
Mateo was extremely excited. Every morning, he would rush into the kitchen and stand by the sliding glass door. He would talk to the birds as they worked. His joy was influential. Although feeling sad, I couldn’t help but look forward to the doves’ visits.
However, things took a turn for the worse. The courtyard seemed like a safe place for a nest, but the rubber tree’s small branches were not stable at all. One night, a strong wind blew, and the doves’ nest was blown to the ground. I heard the small branches break.
I checked the damage. Nothing good ever lasts. I wouldn’t blame the doves if they never came back. But they returned. They didn’t even look at the pile of sticks that used to be their nest. They started building all over again. Unfortunately, the wind destroyed their work again. But day after day, they kept starting again as if nothing had occurred.
注意：
(1)续写词数应为150个左右；
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I realized that I should take some measures.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“Look! The birds have returned!” Mateo shouted.
