A
Where Languages Are Dying
Data from the Endangered Languages Project analyzed by Statista reveals that thousands of languages from around the world are currently in danger of dying out. The role of languages in the DNA of cultures cannot be overstated, nor can the importance they hold as frameworks(框架)upon which our societies develop. Languages evolve to reflect the environment in which they are applied, as well as the people and the cultures that are using and adapting them as time passes by.
The following infograpic shows the languages classified as threatened and endangered in2022(by region).
Globalization is a significant killer of languages, as a research paper by Amano et al. states:“The dominating effect of a single socioeconomic factor, GDP per capita (人均), on speaker growth rate suggests that economic growth and globalization are primary drivers of recent language speaker declines. This has been the case mainly since the 1970s onwards, for instance,via associated political and educational developments and globalized socioeconomic dynamics.”
Despite the decline of many languages, we can find hope knowing that it's possible for almost extinct languages to bounce back. Awakening languages might not be more than the number of endangered ones, but they provide an encouraging sign that the right efforts and resources have the power to bring dying languages back to life.
21. Why is the role of language important in society
A. It boosts global economy.
B. It shapes how society develops.
C. It reflects bioenvironment.
D. It determines how cultures change.
22. Which region had the most endangered languages in 2022
A. Europe. B. South America. C. Africa. D. Oceania.
23. What does the author try to tell us by mentioning saving endangered languages
A. There's little possibility to awaken them.
B. There's hope with right action.
C. The government dominates the progress.
D. Globalization is a key factor.
B
I am Frédérique and I will never forget that very first day when I stepped into my first classroom. The school had a reputation for being filled with the worst-disciplined students in that particular suburban area. The night before that first encounter I spent hours planning the day's lesson, and I even referred to my colleagues on the best approach and materials to strike the students’ fancy. I planned to teach the“perfect tenses”.
When I walked in, the students didn't even notice my presence. I had to knock on the desk and say the greeting for the day. In response they just stared at me. It felt like they were examining every inch of me, and at that moment, I wanted the floor to open up and make me disappear from the face of the earth. Nervously, I began the lesson. I spoke perfect English. Itook out the charts and hung them on the board. The class was silent. No one broke away from his or her stare. But when I started to finger one student at random to respond to my questions,the rest of class restarted their own activities, most of which were getting into arguments with their neighbors.
At that point I began to realize how inexperienced I was. All the theories I had learned and memorized in college about wonderful learning behaviorism and class communication seemed inappropriate and useless. I had to think on my feet about how to resolve the conflicts between the students and try to direct their short attention into my well-crafted lesson. The students began to speak with each other in Thai. I tried to speak in Malay. They didn't understand me. They ignored me. Grateful for a handful of students who sat in the front rows and who appeared more academically focused than the rest. They managed to converse with me in Malay.
Teaching is tough, I suppose, because the learning that I experienced as a student was always a sheltered environment. I went to the best schools, and I had wonderful parents and teachers who supported my learning process one way or the other. I now know that reality bites,and I learned that the hard way.
24. What can be learned about Frédérique in paragraph 1
A. She took teaching seriously.
B. She had a mind of curiosity.
C. She liked studying grammar.
D. She lived in a suburban area.
25. What did Frédérique do when teaching in her first class
A. She argued with students.
B. She escaped from the stage.
C. She tried to engage students.
D. She randomly let off her steam.
26. How did Frédérique finally survive her first class
A. She received some responses.
B. She put theories into practice.
C. She shifted students' attention.
D. She switched to speaking Malay.
27. What does the story tell us
A. Hard work pays off.
B. Rome wasn't built in a day.
C. Every cloud has a silver lining.
D. Experience is the mother of wisdom.
C
Fatigue management (疲劳管理) is vital for everyone, and staying alert when needed requires more than just good, consistent sleep. Think of moments like feeling sleepy while driving or fighting sleep in a boring class—— our usual fixes, such as walking around, drinking coffee or standing at the back of a room, are only quick short-term solutions. However, for those whose jobs involve missions or off-cycle work that prevent adequate sleep, more tailored strategies are necessary.
This raises the question: Can sleep extension help when you know you' ll need to stay awake for a long time Sleep banking, the practice of extending sleep hours in the nights before a known period of sleep deprivation (剥夺), has gained increasing attention.
In 2009, an Army study compared people who got their regular hours of sleep for a week to a group that spent 10 hours in bed during those same nights. This was followed by 3 nights of only 3 hours of time in bed allowed for both groups. Surprisingly, the group that had“banked”sleep, performed better on a measure of alertness during the sleep restricted time period and recovered faster from the sleep deprivation.
A more recent study also found that a week of sleep extension improved quick decision- making during a 40- hour total sleep deprivation task involving emotional stimuli and attentional distraction.
Despite supporting evidence, there are also arguments against the theory. One concern is simply that humans are not designed to sleep when they don't need sleep, thus from the perspective of physiological instinct(本能), the notion of banking does not make sense. Another is that the observed improvements may come from resolving sleep debt which- itself boosts cognition and wakefulness rather than sleep banking.
Currently, we don't have a definitive answer to“Can you bank sleep ” But there is clear benefit to sleep extension before planned deprivation. While the mechanism remains unproven,either sleep banking or resolving sleep debt through pre- deprivation extension appears to help individuals perform better during deprivation and recover more quickly afterward.
28. What is the effect of common ways to fight sleepiness
A. They bring long- term comfort. B. They relieve temporary fatigue.
C. They help to tackle tough tasks. D. They remove boredom in class.
29. What is the shared finding of the two studies
A. Mild sleep shortage facilitates decision- making.
B. Sleep extension increases the degree of alertness.
C. Sleep banking contributes to mental reactions.
D. Sleepiness results from attentional distraction.
30. Why is the sleep banking theory being questioned
A. It goes against biological sense. B. It disturbs human cognition.
C. It overstates the actual impact. D. It doesn't pay people's sleep debt.
31. Before which of the following activities can we bank sleep
A. Seeing a doctor. B. Taking a daily quiz.
C. Joining in a triathlon. D. Attending a meeting.
D
Now, evolution has realistically long saved countless species from climate shifts. This raises a critical question: as global temperatures keep rising, can species adapt quickly enough to survive climate change
The answer is definitely yes, at least for organisms with short generations. The latest evidence comes from the monkey flower, a wild plant that evolved to survive California's megadrought from 2012 to 2015. Daniel Anstett at Cornell University and his colleagues have studied monkey flowers since 2010, assessing their growth at various sites yearly and taking samples for DNA sequencing.
Monkey flowers are water-loving plants that grow along streams, so the drought hit them extremely hard.“If you were to put one in a pot and not water it for a few days, it would just die,”Anstett explains. Three local populations died out during the drought, but many survivors evolved drought tolerance in just three years, with genome mutations (基因突变) linked to climate adaptation———— and these populations recovered the fastest after the drought. This is what biologists call evolutionary rescue: a species surviving a deadly threat via rapid evolution. The phenomenon has been demonstrated in several lab experiments before, but Anstett confirms this is the first time it has been proven to happen in the wild.
However, all this said, a three-year drought is weather, not climate.“Demonstrating adaptation to climate change would take a while,” says Andrew Storfer at Washington StateUniversity. In other words, the fact that monkey flowers were able to evolve to survive one extreme drought doesn't necessarily mean they will cope with a century of rising temperatures and ever more extreme weather. What's more, when populations decline, they lose genetic diversity———— the fuel for evolution.
As global warming continues, the threats will grow ever greater, but species’ capacity to evolve will get smaller. And long-lived species with long generation times have very little capacity for rapid evolution to begin with. Nevertheless, Anstett sees his findings as good news.“A lot of these current predictions about species decline don't take evolution into account,” he says.“This is a story of hope.”
32. What is the“critical question” in paragraph 1 based on
A. A fact. B. An assumption. C. A theory. D. A definition.
33. What do we know about evolutionary rescue
A. Lab experiments have failed to prove it.
B. Daniel Anstett and his colleagues oppose it.
C. Monkey flowers lend further support to it.
D. Genome mutations play a minor role in it.
34. What do Storfer's words in paragraph 4 imply
A. Evolutionary rescue demonstrates biodiversity.
B. Most people cannot tell weather from climate.
C. Extreme weather best tests flowers' tolerance.
D. Species’ capacity to evolve takes time to examine.
35. Why does Anstett say“This is a story of hope” in the last paragraph
A. He wins huge support from biologists.
B. His research provides a new perspective.
C. He finds the secret of long-lived species.
D. His research highlights current predictions.
第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Giving and receiving positive feedback
Your manager called you and said she would want to discuss your performance in recent projects. 36 . On Monday morning, when you walked into her office, she first praised your excellent work, and you immediately got ready ———— is this a common setting for the frightening“feedback sandwich” You are very familiar with this pattern: starting with praise, offering genuine criticism, and ending with more praise.
37 . However, when feedback follows this predictable formula, employees begin to see praise as a filler for criticism, depriving it of its true meaning. Positive feedback is better than being downgraded to a buffer(缓冲) responsibility. It should be used independently as a tool for motivation. Below are three tips to help you make positive feedback count.
● Separate positive from negative feedback
When praise always comes before criticism, it loses its power. 38 . Let it be offered without a shadow———— no comparison, no subtle correction. Just the simple, honest act of appreciation.
● 39
Psychologist Carol Dweck emphasized our brain's adaptability and our capacity to develop new abilities. Rather than praising fixed traits like“you have a natural eye for detail,” focus on the process———— celebrating effort, creative approaches, and problem-solving persistence.
● Create a culture of offering positive feedback
Integrate positive feedback into daily interactions, not just formal reviews. Offer casual appreciation during hallway conversations or coffee breaks. Encourage team members to recognize each other's contributions. 40 .
Transforming a workplace skeptical of positive feedback takes patience, but the rewards extend beyond improved performance to a genuinely enriched professional life.
A. Praise a creative mindset
B. Develop a growth mindset
C. She began criticizing without hesitation
D. Ensure that praise sometimes exists independently
E. Such habits create an environment where praise flows in all directions
F. You spend the entire weekend anxious and question what you did wrong
G. Many managers use this technique, wrapping negative feedback between two positives

China acted like a 53 , forcing me to face my true self. I originally thought I was merely here to visit a country, but China let me know myself better.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Australian vlogger Amy Lyons seemed surprised that the small city of Tongren inChina's 56 (southwest) Guizhou province exports matcha abroad. In her video,shop windows are filled with locally produced matcha products, from the emerald-colored powder 57 (it) to matcha-flavored ice cream—— even matcha noodles.
In recent years, Guizhou matcha 58 (become) a hot product on social media platforms like RedNote. Tourists queue for a popular matcha milk tea, hold up cups for photos at scenic spots, and fill social feeds with check-in 59 (post).
China is one of the largest producers of matcha. A report from 60 China Tea-Marketing Association shows that national output is expected to surpass (超过) 12,000metric tons in 2025, 61 (rough) 70 percent of global production, with Tongren at the center.
Taking advantage 62 misty highlands ideal for tea cultivation, the region shifted from traditional tea cultivation to matcha production around 2018. But while the current enthusiasm for matcha may come across as a fairly recent trend, people whisked(搅拌) tea powder into hot water 63 (make) a tasty drink and treated it as an elegant art as early as the Song Dynasty(AD 960-1279).
The technique of using a bamboo whisk, 64 ,(add) water in seven stages and varying the whipping motion until the foam swelled“like a milk y mist”,'65 is believed to have been brought abroad by Buddhist monks, is recorded during the Song period. Now, it lives on in the thriving modern matcha culture of China.

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 mom is 83 years old and I love her deeply, but there are moments when my patience wears thin, especially when I' ve repeated myself 10 times because she refuses to wear a hearing aid out of vanity (虚荣心).
Not long ago, we had a misunderstanding over her medication(药物治疗). She was still clear-minded, but of course she forgot things at times and when I questioned her, she got defensive. When I saw she hadn't been taking a certain medication, anger replaced patience. She insisted she didn't need it anymore; I accused her of ignoring the doctor's orders and putting her health at risk. We went back and forth, until I realized that she was crying.
My immigrant, hard-working mom had made a million sacrifices for us. Seeing her cry broke something within me. My anger immediately disappeared and I hugged her.
Tears gave way to words. She said,“I am upset because I feel useless, because my body isn't doing what it used to and I even can't make it to the market on my own.” Her words hit my heart and reminded me that she was struggling with things I didn't always see. In that moment, Iknew my reaction had only added to her pain.
I messaged her doctor, who confirmed the medication had been removed. The shame I felt was so intense that it made my stomach turn. I apologized.“Forgive me, mom. You' re right and they removed it. I'm so sorry.” And her response was exactly what I knew it would be. She said,“No, it's OK. I know you' re always looking out for me.” She meant it, too. We talked a while longer, and the more she shared, the better she felt. Half an hour later she was laughing and reminding me I'd promised to take her to the market she liked.
I was relieved she felt better, but I felt deeply unsettled. I felt a deep sense of shame. We had been raised to respect our parents, to never raise our voices at them. However, that was exactly what I did.
注意：1.续写词数应为150词左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
The next morning I told my mom I was going to take her to a place.
After the trip, my mom whispered what would stay in my heart forever.

W: Good afternoon, Professor Lewis. Thank you for making time for me today.
M: It's fine. Please have a seat. How can I help you
W: Actually, something's been on my mind lately. I'm a bit worried.
M: Really Your final paper was great.
W: That's a relief. Anyway, the thing is, I'm not so sure about what I should do after college.
M: I understand. Many students feel the same way.
W: When I think about graduating, I get a little nervous, because I' ve always known that it's tough to get a job right out of college.
M: Do you have any special interests other than English literature
W: Well, I love to write. It's not just a hobby for me. In fact, my friends say I get a real talent for it.
M: So, have you ever considered technical writing as a career While I have no idea what the salary is, I think it's perfect for you. It involves writing about how to use computer software and
hardware. It also requires strong communication skills, which you clearly have.
W: I' ve never heard of it. I will learn more to see whether I fit in. Thank you, professor.
M: That's all right.

Hi, everyone, and welcome to today's Youth Talks. Have you ever wondered at what exact age we truly become adults Is it just the number on our ID card when we turn 18 Or is it something more profound Legally, the answer varies globally. In China, France and many other countries, it is 18, while some places set it at 21.
However, science tells a more complex story. Research shows that at 18, the brain is still developing, especially the prefrontal cortex, which controls your emotions. It is revealed that adolescence may last far longer than expected, extending on average until around the age of 32.Only then does the brain fully reach maturity. Moreover, the definition of adulthood changes across cultures. In the US, adulthood is often linked to self-sufficiency and financial independence.In China, however, it often involves caring for parents. So, adulthood is not just a legal date. It is a combination of brain development, taking on responsibilities, and how we see ourselves. True maturity comes when we can navigate life wisely.
