The Long Journey of English
This book takes us on a journey through the history of English to show how it grew to be
the global phenomenon that we know today. Over ten short chapters the author explains its global spread, starting with the origin of English and finishing with an overview of how the language
looks today, including its use in an increasingly digital world.
Purrieties of Language
After ruling the Internet, cats are now taking on linguistics (语言学)! Through cat-inspired varieties of language, we have developed a range of cat-inspired vocabulary-we take their
identities as we post, write, talk, and chat on social media. This book provides linguistic analysis of the online “Cativerse”. Each chapter explores a different sociolinguistic phenomenon, drawing on fun and engaging examples across various platforms.
Language Science
This accessible guide offers practical advice on how to talk about language to a range of non-professionals. It draws on the linguistics behind effective communication to help have
cooperative conversations. It is illustrated with a wealth of interesting real-life examples enabling you to make your own interesting language science activities to share with others.
The Babel Lexicon of Language
This book is an enjoyable introduction to the key terms involved in the study of language. It defines over 500 terms and uses present-day language examples to explain difficult issues in an
easy-to-understand manner. Authored by the expert editorial team behind Babel, the popular
language magazine, and assuming no knowledge of linguistics, this book is an invaluable resource for students, teachers and anyone with an interest in language.

Esther Kimani, a 29-year-old pioneer in agritech, is changing the lives of smallholder
farmers across Africa. As the founder of Farmer Lifeline Technologies (FLT), she has applied artificial intelligence (AI) to fight against crop pests (害虫) and diseases, significantly reducing losses for rural farmers.
Kimani's journey began in a small Kenyan village on the Aberdare Mountains. Witnessing firsthand the severe impact of pests and diseases on their crops — and consequently, their income — she understood early how agricultural losses could mean unmet basic needs like school fees
and healthcare. Despite these challenges, Kimani became the first girl from her village to attend
university, studying computer science. It was there that she recognized the potential of technology
to solve rural farmers' struggles, and that's how FLT was born.
In Kenya alone,7.5 million smallholder farmers lose up to 50% of their yield (产量) to pests and diseases annually — losses that could feed millions. Traditional solutions like hiring
agricultural consultants or using drones (无人机) are prohibitively expensive. To solve this critical issue, she developed an AI-powered camera, which is set up on farms at no upfront cost. It scans
crops continuously and warns farmers through Short Message Service (SMS) for $3 per month when pests or diseases are detected.
A key focus for Kimani is supporting women farmers, who make up 43% of the agricultural labor force in developing nations, but who often lack access to technology. "Men in rural
communities tend to have smartphones, while women rely on basic feature phones," she notes. "Through SMS, we ensure women aren't left behind."
Kimani's innovation has already impacted thousands of farmers, 78% of whom have
reported a yield increase of over 36%. Her team aims to reach 200 thousand farms across the
country within five years. For Kimani, success in 2030 means seeing 200 thousand smallholder farmers living with dignity — affording education, healthcare, and financial stability through
improved yields. Kimani is not just building a company; she's reshaping the future of African agriculture.
4 .Why did Kimani found FLT
A .To fund rural farmers. B .To transform farming.
C .To expand AI industry. D .To research crop types.
5 .How does the AI-powered camera help farmers
A .By sending them timely warnings. B .By connecting them to consultants.
C .By controlling drones to scan crops. D .By driving pests away automatically.
6 .What is an advantage of Kimani's innovation
A .Equal access. B .Tailored service.
C .Large storage. D .Easy maintenance.
7 .What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A .Financial policies affect agriculture. B .African agriculture will take the lead.
C .Kimani will pursue further education. D .Kimani's innovation powers a bright future.
C
Being self-employed, I often check my bank balance, feeling relief when payments are
received and anxiety when bills empty my account. Money’s ups and downs strongly affect my
mood, especially during the holidays, when every festival activity seems to come with a price tag. Despite my financial stability — owning a home with my wife, low costs, and savings — money often feels like an emotional burden.
Elizabeth Husserl, author of The Power of Enough: Finding Joy in Your Relationship with Money, explains that money is deeply personal. “The same amount means different things based on lifestyles and choices,” she says. Rising expenses can cause anxiety and lead people to focus
too much on making or saving money, taking attention away from other important aspects of life. This pursuit can harm mental health, creating a life where money becomes both a scapegoat (替罪羊) and a distraction from unmet emotional needs.
Husserl highlights that while financial security forms a baseline, money alone cannot bring satisfaction. Some people spend their lives saving without enjoying the fruits of their labor, while others turn to emotional spending, like shopping, to deal with stress, covering deeper issues like loneliness or a lack of purpose. True wealth, she argues, comes from recognizing these emotional drives and matching finances with life priorities.
To build a healthier relationship with money, Husserl recommends understanding the
emotional reasons behind spending, setting clear priorities, and redefining wealth. Practical steps include journaling about feelings toward money and taking the time to evaluate the value of
purchases. Broadening the definition of wealth to include relationships, health, and purpose helps balance financial goals with personal well-being.
Talking to Husserl shifted my view. While holiday spending remains a concern, I’ve begun to see it as typical for the season and feel more confident in recovering financially. Though my
bank app doesn’t always bring joy, it’s a reminder of what truly makes me feel rich.
8 .Why does the writer mention checking his bank balance regularly
A .To track his savings progress. B .To manage his holiday spending.
C .To relieve his stress about finances. D .To show money’s emotional effect on him.
9 .What does focusing too much on money lead to
A .Satisfied life. B .Emotional burden. C .Increased savings. D .Financial insecurity.
10 .What does Husserl think of emotional spending
A .It’s a strategy for dealing with stress. B .It’s an approach to financial priorities.
C .It’s a temporary relief without resolution. D .It’s a way to manage emotional well-being. 11 .What is the secret to building a healthy relationship with money
A .Balancing wealth with personal happiness.
B .Setting clear priorities for financial security.
C .Identifying the emotional causes of spending.
D .Focusing on saving and the value of purchases.
D
With growing global energy demands and mounting concerns over pollution and climate
change, the shift to clean energy sources is important. While nuclear, wind, and solar energy have played significant roles as alternatives to fossil fuels, hydrogen energy is emerging as a key player in achieving carbon neutrality (碳中和). According to Professor Liu Lifeng, hydrogen has the
potential to decarbonize energy — intensive industries, thus contributing to net-zero emission (排放) goals.
However, traditional hydrogen production methods are infamous for their significant
environmental impact. A cleaner and more sustainable approach involves producing hydrogen
from water through electrolysis (电解). Renewable energy-powered electrolysis is a promising
method for producing “green” hydrogen, but freshwater shortage may stop large-scale expansion.
To address this challenge, Liu’s team has pioneered a way to produce hydrogen from
seawater. Seawater electrolysis, however, faces problems due to the presence of mixtures, which increase energy consumption and cause side reactions. To overcome these barriers, the team
proposed a rather ingenious strategy involving the addition of hydrazine (肼) to seawater to
enhance efficiency. Additionally, they chose platinum-tellurium foil, a highly effective catalyst (催化剂) that improves the process without causing harmful chemical side effects.
Their innovative device has produced promising results. This means that hydrogen can be produced from seawater without requiring external electricity, hence lowering production costs and improving flexibility in real-world applications.
Despite this significant breakthrough, challenges remain. Platinum, though an effective
catalyst, is both costly and environmentally damaging to mine. The team is actively working to develop non-platinum catalysts that are both efficient and sustainable. Furthermore, hydrazine, although effective in reducing energy consumption, is highly harmful to human health. Future research will focus on identifying safer alternatives to hydrazine and further making use of the technology to ensure clean and sustainable hydrogen production.
12 .Why is hydrogen energy unique
A .It is rare on the earth. B .It costs less to produce.
C .It reduces carbon emission. D .It needs no tech advancement.
13 .What does the underlined word “ingenious” probably mean in paragraph 3
A .Long-term. B .Brilliant. C .Complicated. D .Conventional.
14 .What can we learn about seawater electrolysis
A .Hydrazine is safe enough for widespread use.
B .It has completely solved the freshwater shortage.
C .It can operate on its own without needing energy.
D .The current catalyst is costly and bad for the environment.
15 .What is the text mainly about
A .The combined impacts of various energy sources.
B .A breakthrough in hydrogen production from seawater.
C .The ways to cut the cost of seawater hydrogen production.
D .The wide application of renewable energy-powered electrolysis.

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。
Pothos (绿萝) plants are the perfect houseplants. They grow well with little care, although some care will help them grow best. Use the following methods to turn your plants into full and thick ones.
The first step in encouraging your pothos plants to grow faster is to provide them with a
larger home. 16 You can start by removing your plants from their containers. Prepare a new container by placing fresh soil in the bottom. Set your plants on top, and backfill the soil so it
covers the roots. Water well. Boom! Your plants have a new home.
After transplanting, check the vines (藤蔓) and look for long ones with few leaves. Cutting them back gives you new pieces to grow more plants. Start by removing the lower leaves from
each cutting, leaving one or two leaves on the stems (茎) 17 This houseplant grows well in either.
While large changes like cutting and transplanting help pothos grow thicker and fuller, so do small practices like watering. 18 Keep a watering routine, and use your finger to
check how wet the soil is before adding more water. If it feels dry about an inch or two deep, it’s time to water; if it’s still slightly wet, wait a little longer to avoid overwatering, which can harm the roots and slow growth.
19 Pothos vines appreciate bright indirect light indoors to promote healthy
growth. If your window lacks bright indirect sunlight, try using grow lights to help the plants grow in dark rooms.
Fertilizing (施肥) also benefits these vines. Be sure to add fertilizer to your pothos
following the instructions carefully, as the right amount can help promote healthy growth.
20 Your plants will thank you with bright green and shiny leaves that stay on the vines for a long time.
A .Place the lower parts in soil or water.
B .Then, position the plants closer to light.
C .Do so twice a year during the growing season.
D .Repotting allows them to have more space and nutrients.
E .Yellow or brown leaves and dry soil indicate a thirsty plant.
F .Nevertheless, they still appreciate bright light to grow their best.
G .Try to keep the stems unhurt, but do not worry if any parts fall off.

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。
My name is Helen, a middle-aged British woman. I had gone through several difficult
months and ended up feeling terribly low. Therefore, the moment I saw an advertisement for trial flying lessons while passing the airfield, I went ahead and booked one without delay.
It was something I had always dreamed of trying, and I hoped it might lift my spirits a little bit. I thoroughly enjoyed my trial lesson — even more than I had expected — and soon booked
more. Like many before me, I found flying an airplane to be addictive. It took my mind off my troubles. By the end of that summer, I had secured my private pilot’s license and began taking local flights just for fun.
Then I decided to give helicopters (直升机) a try, only to find I enjoyed them even more.
So, despite having promised all my friends that I wouldn’t pursue it further, I ended up earning my private pilot’s license for helicopters as well. Before long, I was renting small helicopters and
taking friends for rides. But helicopter flying in Britain is very expensive, and I knew I couldn’t keep it up forever as just a hobby.
I was aware that many people at our local airfield were taking commercial flying exams -
some aiming to become commercial pilots, and others hoping to become instructors. That gave me an idea: maybe, just maybe, I could become a helicopter instructor myself. That way, I could fly
for free and even get paid for it.
I went ahead with my plan pretty quickly, but I wasn’t prepared for some of the reactions I got. My friends couldn’t believe I was serious. My boss at work said, “Oh, don’t be silly, Helen! You can’t possibly become a commercial helicopter pilot.” That was clearly what others were
thinking too — they were just too polite to say it out loud. At first, I thought it was because of my age. After all, I was well over 40, which isn’t the typical time to start a new career. But even so, why such strong reactions

本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了29 岁的农业技术先驱Esther Kimani 通过创立Farmer Lifeline Technologies (FLT) ,利用人工智能技术帮助非洲小农户对抗作物病虫害,显著减少损失并改善农民生活的故事。
4 .细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“It was there that she recognized the potential of
technology to solve rural farmers' struggles, and that's how FLT was born. (正是在那里,她认识到了技术解决农村农民困境的潜力,FLT 就是这样诞生的。)”可知,Kimani 创立 FLT 的初衷是通过技术解决农民的困境,即改造农业。故选 B 项。
5 .细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“It scans crops continuously and warns farmers through Short Message Service (SMS) for $3 per month when pests or diseases are detected. (它持续扫描作物,并在检测到病虫害时通过短信服务(SMS)以每月 3 美元的费用向农民发出警告。)”可知,AI 摄像头通过向农民发送及时警告来帮助他们。故选 A 项。
6.推理判断题。根据第四段“A key focus for Kimani is supporting women farmers, who make up 43% of the agricultural labor force in developing nations, but who often lack access to technology. "Men in rural communities tend to have smartphones, while women rely on basic feature phones," she notes. "Through SMS, we ensure women aren't left behind." (Kimani 的一个关键重点是支持女性农民,她们占发展中国家农业劳动力的 43% ,但往往缺乏技术。她指出:“农村社区的男性往往拥有智能手机,而女性则依赖基本的非智能手机。”“通过短信,我们确保女性不会被遗忘。”)”可知,Kimani 的创新确保了女性农民也能被纳入技术帮助的范围内,即体现了平等获取技术帮助的优势。故选 A 项。
7 .推理判断题。根据最后一段前三句“Kimani's innovation has already impacted thousands of farmers, 78% of whom have reported a yield increase of over 36%. Her team aims to reach 200
thousand farms across the country within five years. For Kimani, success in 2030 means seeing
200 thousand smallholder farmers living with dignity — affording education, healthcare, and
financial stability through improved yields. (Kimani 的创新已经影响了数千名农民,其中 78%的人报告说产量增加了 36%以上。她的团队的目标是在五年内覆盖全国 20 万家农场。对
Kimani 来说,2030 年的成功意味着看到 20 万小农户有尊严地生活——通过提高产量负担得起教育、医疗和经济稳定。)”可知,Kimani 的创新已经取得了显著成效,并且她的团队有着
明确的目标和愿景,即改善更多农民的生活。由此可推知,Kimani 的创新将推动农业走向光明前景。故选 D 项。

46 .Sports have benefited me a lot
Among various sports, running is the one I’ve been doing for long. I run for about thirty minutes every morning.
Running has benefited me a lot because it not only makes me strong and energetic, but also helps me relax and study better at school. Additionally, it teaches me to keep trying and never give up easily when I meet with difficulties. Sports are really important and necessary for everyone’s
physical and mental health.
So, I strongly suggest every student take up a sport and stick to it. Let’s enjoy sports and grow into a stronger, healthier and happier self!
47 .Over time, I came to see that the real reason was my gender. Though women pilots had existed for decades, they remained a rare sight-something I didn’t fully understand at first.
Determined to push forward, I spent the next year fully committed to the commercial flying
courses, diving deep into both written theory and hands-on training. As the only woman in my
class, I often felt the weight of standing out. The coursework was demanding, and at times the pressure was unbearable, but I refused to give up. I was determined to prove that I deserved my place in the sky.
Finally, I successfully got my commercial helicopter pilot’s license. Luckily, I got a job as a helicopter instructor at a nearby airfield before long. That’s when I truly understood how unusual my achievement was. Most people were amazed to see a woman in this role and many found it
hard to believe. When some young girls, who accompanied their friends to learn to fly, asked me how I made it, I shared my story. I’ll be right here, showing the next generation of pilots that no dream is off-limits whatever your age, your gender or what anyone else says.
