If you live in California, you have the ability to enable earthquake alerts. These alerts come when an earthquake occurs and shaking in your area is around the corner. If you do not live in any of these areas, you can still receive alerts through a free app by University of California Berkeley called MyShake. This passage will show you how to enable earthquake alerts on a smartphone.
1. Update your phone. To do so, go to Settings, scroll down to “Software update”, and select “Download and install”. 2. Open your phone’s location settings. Open the Settings and go to “Location”. 3. Tap Earthquake Alerts. This will open up a page where you can enable location services for enhanced earthquake warnings.
4. Ensure the toggle (切换键) is set to On. This will enable earthquake alerts on your phone. ● You will receive a notification if the California earthquake early warning system detects a magnitude 4.5 earthquake or bigger with seismic intensity IV or greater. ● If the toggle is off, you will still receive Wireless Emergency Alerts, provided that you enabled them beforehand.
1. What will tapping Earthquake Alerts cause directly
A. Your phone to be updated.
B. The toggle to be set to On.
C. You to be taken to a page.

Vijay Bissoondutt manages the BVI Humane Society animal shelter on Tortola, the biggest island in the British Virgin Islands. He and his staff find stray (流浪的) dogs and cats, or those that have been mistreated, and take them to the shelter — a role he has served for 29 years. Tortola is the only island in the region with an animal shelter, so Bissoondutt helps rescue dogs and cats from the other islands, too.
Bissoondutt’s connection to animals began early. He grew up on a farm with goats, ducks, and chickens, and started visiting the animal shelter at around 8 years old. Now he takes care of the animals by feeding them, playing with them, and making sure they get plenty of exercise.
When someone wants to adopt a dog or cat, it’s Bissoondutt’s job to teach them how to be a good pet owner. For example, it’s very hot in the Caribbean, so it’s important for pets to have plenty of water and a shady place to rest.
“It’s a challenge,” he says. “We let people know that it is important to have your animal get their yearly vaccination (接种疫苗), and the right diet. If it’s going to live outside, it must have food, water, and shelter. It needs to see the vet regularly, and exercise is very important. A dog that doesn’t exercise can be very bored and will probably start tearing up the house.”
Bissoondutt also states that it is a very passionate job which has to come from the heart. One can not simply decide to take care of animals, as it involves many challenges. He emphasizes that an animal is not just a dog or a cat, but a being with its own life and feelings, deserving the same sympathy as humans.
Despite the difficulties of running the shelter, Bissoondutt finds it rewarding. He feels great happiness in knowing he saves lives by taking dogs off the streets and giving them a second chance. For him, a wagging tail makes it all worthwhile.
4. What explains Bissoondutt’s fitness for his job
A. Willingness to work on all islands. B. Owning a farm with many animals.
C. Long-term commitment to animals. D. Professional animal medical training.
5. What does Bissoondutt emphasize about the job of caring for animals
A. It is challenging but fun for everyone.
B. It requires passion and dedication.
C. It should be done only by professionals.
D. It is mainly about feeding and cleaning.
6. What makes Bissoondutt feel fulfilling about his work
A. Removing loose dogs from the streets.
B. Sharing personal happiness from work.
C. Overcoming shelter running difficulties.
D. Giving animals a second chance at life.
7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To profile somebody. B. To illustrate something.
C. To instruct somebody. D. To advertise something.
C
If you have been consuming ultra-processed (超加工) foods (UPFs) like instant noodles or protein bars without checking the ingredients, think again. They contain substances not usually found in a home kitchen, such as protein isolates and modified starches. What stands out as alarming is a recent study showing how UPFs are likely to get you addicted to them like smoking.
The “reward circuit” in our brain experiences a sharp increase in dopamine (多巴胺) — the “feel good” chemical. Nicotine (尼古丁) causes this dopamine boost, and UPFs copy that with other methods and materials. Dopamine also signals the brain to “remember” the stuff that gave the pleasure, intensifying urges.
According to a Harvard study, UPFs and cigarettes activate the brain’s reward pathway in similar ways. The producers try to make the best of the “doses” to make this happen. UPFs combine refined (精炼的) sugars and fats in amounts not found in nature, which makes them addictive. UPFs are easy to digest, causing the reward system to activate quickly with a dopamine rush. The worst part is how the dopamine system goes less sensitive to usual intakes of UPFs over time, and the brain signals for higher intake to experience the same pleasure.
Most of the time, people start to get addicted while consuming in moderation, but as the habit grows, the same amount doesn’t satiate. It pushes individuals to consume more of the stuff and get even more addicted. While smoking tobacco can be stopped, food is necessary for survival. This demands strict rules and safety standard checks because the modern food environment is heavily built upon ready-to-serve UPFs.
It is still not known whether the contents of the UPFs cause addictive behavior or the lack of protective phytochemicals, fiber and micronutrients drive it. The distinction is required to decide whether the rules should mirror steps used to reduce tobacco consumption, or require a change in dietary quality of UPFs.
8. What do UPFs and cigarettes have in common
A. Both contain nicotine as a key ingredient.
B. Both play a vital role in sustaining life.
C. Both boost the brain’s reward network.
D. Both are designed to strengthen urges.
9. What can we infer about the dopamine system from Paragraph 3
A. It consistently and rapidly responds to UPFs.
B. It is mainly activated because of digestibility.
C. It functions separately from the reward circuit.
D. It needs more UPFs later for the same pleasure.
10. What does the underlined word “satiate” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean
A. Shock someone greatly. B. Satisfy a desire fully.
C. Change a habit completely. D. Harm one’s health slowly.
11. What remains unknown about UPFs
A. The precise cause of addiction to UPFs.
B. The appropriate choice of rules for UPFs.
C. The shortage of protective nutrients in UPFs.
D. The presence of addictive substances in UPFs.
D
If you’ve ever played a video game, you might be familiar with the idea of a “boss battle”. At the end of a game, you have to fight a huge monster. It’s a big challenge and requires preparation and training to overcome the boss.
In many ways, major surgery is something like a boss battle. Going through surgery can be tough. It usually takes months, or even over a year for patients to get back to normal. What if there was a way to train and prepare the body like a video game character
That’s exactly what researchers are now exploring through pre-surgery training. One of the newest approaches comes from a team led by researchers at the Centre de Recherche Saint-Antoine in Paris and Stanford School of Medicine. They developed special, person-specific programmes to train the body through exercise and tailored diets. They also worked on training the mind through meditation (冥想), mindfulness and thinking skills training. Shockingly, the training didn’t just improve patients’ physical and mental outcomes. It changed how their immune systems (免疫系统) were responding to surgery.
Almost one-third of all patients undergoing major surgery experience some form of complication (并发症) which may delay recovery, lead to a longer hospital stay, or increase costs. Although personalized treatment with new training sessions might seem like a long shot, it may actually be the most cost-effective option! The training sessions were even remote, suggesting how effective this intervention might be for those who live far away from hospitals, or have limited access to healthcare. This new research emphasises just how important engaging with patients, and even training them, before surgery is.
Scientists still don’t know what the long term benefits might be. “After all, this is a complex intervention... It’s not just a tablet,” Franco Carli, a leader in prehabilitation research at McGill University said.
12. How does the author introduce the topic
A. By describing a common experience.
B. By comparing major surgery to a game.
C. By giving a definition of major surgery.
D. By showing the difficulty of two activities.
13. What surprised the researchers most
A. The training programs applied to each patient.
B. Personalized diets played a key role in recovery.
C. Patients preferred meditation to physical exercise.
D. The approach affected patients’ biological functions.
14. What is an advantage of the new training sessions
A. Affordability for patients in severe need.
B. Significant reduction in healthcare costs.
C. Virtual attendance without hospital visits.
D. Complete prevention of all complications.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. “Boss Battle” Win: Future of Surgery
B. Pre-surgery Training: Surprising Body Impact
C. Thinking Skills: Core of Pre-surgery Preparation
D. New Research: Long-term Post-surgery Benefits
第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Eggs are easy and foolproof to cook — think boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, or simple omelets. But there’s another ingredient that’s almost impossible to overcook and comes in over 10 varieties. With a “meaty” taste and texture, it’s often used in vegetarian dishes (素菜). ____16____
One fascinating thing about cooking mushrooms is how well they stand up to heat, maintaining their structure even after long cooking times. This remarkable heat resistance comes from the mushroom’s cellular make-up containing chitin (几丁质), which allows the mushrooms to stand up to temperatures up to about 380 degrees Celsius. ____17____
This is not the same as what happens to meat or plants. Raw meat protein is soft. ____18____ This creates empty spaces, causing the protein to tighten and become hard and chewy. As for vegetables, the parts that hold their cell walls together, like hemicellulose and pectin, break down when they are heated.
Besides that unique structure, another reason why mushrooms can withstand heat for so long is their high water content. Tomatoes are among the vegetables with high water content too, which is why they shrivel up (皱缩) when roasted. ____19____ In fact they are 80-90% water. This feature helps mushrooms cook for a long time without falling apart. As mushrooms are exposed to heat, the water within them begins to steam and leave, preventing the mushrooms from drying out too quickly.
Unless you are cooking under extreme circumstances or intentionally mishandling them, it’s nearly impossible to overcook mushrooms. ____20____ Kids, home cooks, and chefs alike can experiment with various cooking techniques without the fear of ruining the dish.
A. Mushrooms are no different.
B. But long heat removes its water.
C. That ingredient is the mushroom.
D. Even beginners can cook them successfully.
E. It also maintains their shape under high heat.
F. This quality makes them perfect for roasting.
G. This makes them a forgiving ingredient in the kitchen.

Stephen Glenn once shared a story about a distinguished research scientist Robert, who had made several important medical breakthroughs. When he was being ____21____ by a newspaper reporter who asked him what set him apart from ordinary people, the scientist ____22____ it all to a childhood experience with his mother at the age of two. He’d tried to take a milk bottle from the fridge, only to lose his grip on the slippery glass; it fell and spilled,____23____ the kitchen floor in a vast sea of milk.
When his mother entered, she didn’t give him a ____24____ or shout at him. ____25____, she smiled and said, “Robert, what a marvelous mess you’ve made! I’ve rarely seen such a huge puddle of milk. Now that the ____26____ is done — why not play in it before we clean it up ” He happily did so. Minutes later, she guided him to ____27____ the mess, letting him choose a sponge, a towel or a mop. She then pointed out it was a failed ____28____ in carrying a big milk bottle with two tiny hands, and ____29____ they go to the backyard, fill the bottle with water and ____30____ a safe way to hold it. The boy soon found that grasping the bottle near the lip with both hands ____31____ perfectly.
This ____32____ scientist then remarked that moment taught him not to fear mistakes. Mistakes were precious ____33____ to learn — the very core of scientific experiments. How ____34____ it would be if all parents ____35____ to children’s mistakes as Robert’s mother did!

A fossil (化石) found by a 12-year-old boy in Beijing has filled a major gap in Asia’s Middle Jurassic record, marking the first confirmed amphibian (两栖动物) footprint from the period.
The findings ____36____ (publish) last week in the journal Ichnos after Ni Jingchen, ____37____ elementary school student, posted pictures of the fossil online. The fossil was discovered while Ni was in Beijing’s Mentougou District with his parents. The post ____38____ (catch) the attention of Xing Lida, an associate professor, ____39____ later led a research team to the site.
Until now, Middle Jurassic trace fossils in Asia consisted mainly ____40____ dinosaur and turtle tracks, with no documented evidence of amphibians. The newly identified footprints provide the first such evidence, ____41____ (confirm) that amphibians lived in the region about 160 million years ago. The fossil includes two small footprints: a four-toed front footprint and a possible hind (后部的) footprint.
Using 3D scanning, researchers created detailed digital ____42____ (model) to analyze the tracks. After comparing them with other known prints, they made a ____43____ (conclude) that the tracks were likely made by early, land-adapted amphibians from the Salamandroidea suborder.
“This important study greatly encourages non-professional enthusiasts, particularly young people, ____44____ (engage) in natural science explorations ____45____ highlights the importance of protecting fossil sites and paying attention to geological outcrops in the field,” Xing said.

47. 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。
In 1974, when I was in my early twenties, I volunteered to help a group of hikers map a desert trail from Mexico to Canada, and I took on the task of exploring routes through Death Valley. At dawn, I drove to a base camp near Ulida Flat, packed my equipment, and set out up a rocky road, stepping into an unnamed canyon (峡谷) surrounded by the Cottonwood Mountains. After I had been hiking through the stony valley for about an hour, the sharp brays of burros (驴的叫声) suddenly broke the silence — hundreds of them gathered there, which I playfully named “Burroville”.
A dozen large male burros soon blocked my way, standing shoulder to shoulder with firm determination, their massive heads held high as if daring me to approach. I paused, and then spotted a female burro nursing her tiny baby beside the canyon wall. Instantly, I realized the males were protecting their families during the breeding season. I spoke gently to them and even threw a small rock near the biggest male burro to get their attention, but they stayed where they were without moving.
Just as I turned to leave in disappointment, most male burros slowly moved aside — only the largest one remained, staring at me seriously. In his deep brown eyes, I clearly read his silent message: this canyon was their home, and I should leave. I couldn’t bear to break their trust, so I turned back. As I walked down the trail, I couldn’t help questioning if we really needed to map every corner of the earth. Maybe some places were meant to stay unnamed and undisturbed.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: Years later, I returned to see if the unnamed canyon still remained undisturbed.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: When the hikers invited me again to update the mapping project, I declined.

47. 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。
In 1974, when I was in my early twenties, I volunteered to help a group of hikers map a desert trail from Mexico to Canada, and I took on the task of exploring routes through Death Valley. At dawn, I drove to a base camp near Ulida Flat, packed my equipment, and set out up a rocky road, stepping into an unnamed canyon (峡谷) surrounded by the Cottonwood Mountains. After I had been hiking through the stony valley for about an hour, the sharp brays of burros (驴的叫声) suddenly broke the silence — hundreds of them gathered there, which I playfully named “Burroville”.
A dozen large male burros soon blocked my way, standing shoulder to shoulder with firm determination, their massive heads held high as if daring me to approach. I paused, and then spotted a female burro nursing her tiny baby beside the canyon wall. Instantly, I realized the males were protecting their families during the breeding season. I spoke gently to them and even threw a small rock near the biggest male burro to get their attention, but they stayed where they were without moving.
Just as I turned to leave in disappointment, most male burros slowly moved aside — only the largest one remained, staring at me seriously. In his deep brown eyes, I clearly read his silent message: this canyon was their home, and I should leave. I couldn’t bear to break their trust, so I turned back. As I walked down the trail, I couldn’t help questioning if we really needed to map every corner of the earth. Maybe some places were meant to stay unnamed and undisturbed.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。

Paragraph 1: Years later, I returned to see if the unnamed canyon still remained undisturbed. I drove along the same rocky road, feeling nervous about what I might find. When I arrived at the canyon, I was relieved to see that it looked exactly as I remembered. The Cottonwood Mountains still stood tall, and the wild burros were grazing peacefully where I had met them years ago. The air was still clean and quiet, just like before. It was a special place that time seemed to have forgotten, and I felt happy that nature was safe.
Paragraph 2: When the hikers invited me again to update the mapping project, I declined. I told them that I believed some places should remain wild and unnamed. I explained that the canyon had a silent message which taught us that not everything needs to be measured or changed. Instead of drawing maps, we should just enjoy nature without disturbing it. I realized that protecting nature is more valuable than making maps. They didn’t fully understand, but I knew I made the right choice to leave it alone.
