Dian Fossey arrived in Rwanda’s misty mountains in 1967. With no formal scientific training, she developed an unusual approach to studying gorillas: integration, seeking to bridge the divide between humans and the animals. This meant patiently copying their behavior — chewing wild grass, making deep sounds, and even moving on all fours — until the gorillas gradually accepted her presence. In time, the animals she approached were no longer seen as fierce, but instead revealed their gentle and social nature.
But the paradise Fossey found was under threat. Illegal hunters, armed with arrows and traps, pushed deeper into the forest. In 1978, a young gorilla named Digit, whom she had known since it was born, was killed. A profound and personal sorrow seemed to harden her resolve. Her focus shifted decisively from observation to direct action. Fossey’s battle against illegal hunting consumed her life. She began capturing and questioning illegal hunters, burning down their camps, and pretending to use black magic to make locals believe she was a witch. Her intense methods created tension with others who preferred tourism and education as a way to protect the gorillas.
Fossey saw tourism as a direct threat. Isolated at her research center, she grew more convinced that only direct action could save the gorillas. This earned her many enemies. On December 26, 1985, her lonely struggle ended in violence. She was found murdered in her cabin. The crime was never solved-many believe it was linked to illegal hunting, smuggling (走私), or conflicts over land and money. As her former assistant said, she was “standing in the way of certain individuals making money”.
She was buried beside her gorilla friends like Digit, and her legacy lives on in these mountains. Though she did not live to see it, her fierce devotion inspired a global movement that saved the species from extinction.
4. Why did Fossey imitate gorillas’ behavior?
A. To study their eating habit. B. To prove gorillas were gentle creatures.
C. To gain gorillas’ trust. D. To feel more comfortable in jungle.
5. What directly caused Fossey’s change in protection methods?
A. The death of a gorilla close to her. B. Tragedy in her personal life.
C. Her desire to gain local recognition. D. Disagreements with tourism supporters.
6. Which of the following best describes Fossey’s strategy?
A. A direct solution to gorilla extinction. B. A scientific and cooperative model.
C. A universally accepted approach. D. A great success at a personal cost.
7. What kind of person was Dian Fossey?
A. Gentle and cooperative. B. Determined and extreme.
C. Curious and humorous. D. Cautious and passive.

A wildfire burns in the hills of a Los Angeles suburb, leaping from one dry bush to another. As it approaches the first house, the plants around it catch fire, but the house itself stubbornly refuses to do so: any small flames along its walls quickly die out. There’s no water in sight — the flames are put out by sound waves.
This scene is not science fiction. Engineers at an American tech company built a device using low-frequency sound waves to fight fires. “It’s basically vibrating (震动) the oxygen faster than the fuel can use it, blocking the chemical reaction,” explains Geoff Bruder, an aerospace engineer who once studied heat engines for NASA.
Fire needs heat, fuel and oxygen; taking one of these away will stop the fire. Sound waves push oxygen away from the fuel, preventing the fire getting the air it needs to continue its burning. The company has demonstrated a fire control from as far as 25 feet away.
Using sound against fire isn’t new. A U. S. defense research agency studied it over a decade ago. However, a major challenge is to scale up the technology without creating loud or even damaging sound effects.
The company overcame this by using infrasound — sound waves at 20 hertz (赫兹) or lower, which humans cannot hear. These waves also travel farther than higher-frequency sounds. The device looks like a metal box attached to the roof. When heat sensors detect a flame, an electric motor drives a piston (活塞) to create infrasound, which travels through metal tubes on the roof, creating a “force field” to put out the fire and prevent the building catching another fire.
Experts note that while sound waves can effectively influence fire, they currently work best on smaller flames. Nevertheless, homeowners and large energy companies are game to give it a try: The company is working with two California power suppliers and plans to install fifty pilot units early in 2026.
8. What does the passage begin with?
A. A historical review. B. A personal anecdote.
C. A scientific explanation. D. A descriptive situation.
9. What is the basic principle behind sound-based firefighting?
A. It removes the burning material. B. It cools the fire with vibrations.
C. It separates oxygen from the fuel. D. It blocks the heat with natural force.
10. What is a key feature of infrasound?
A. It is silent to human ear. B. It is of high-frequency.
C. It travels at a fast speed. D. It requires loud volumes.
11. What does “game” in paragraph 6 most likely mean?
A. Pleased. B. Ready. C. Afraid. D. Unwilling.
D
One of the reasons why astronomers like to put telescopes in space is that the “seeing” is better. With no turbulent (湍流的) atmosphere in the way the stars shine steadily, rather than twinkling as they do when seen from the ground.
But it is not just an atmosphere that can ruin the seeing. The rapidly growing number of satellites in low-Earth orbit is already causing problems for ground-based telescopes, which find their images contaminated by streaks of sunlight reflected off passing satellites. Now, a paper published in Nature suggests that could soon become a serious problem for space-going telescopes as well.
Alejandro Borlaff and his colleagues at NASA’s Ames Research Centre, in California, searched regulatory filings to work out just how many satellites might be in orbit by the end of the next decade. Numbers are already exploding. In 2018 there were around 2,000 satellites in orbit. These days there are more than 9,000 of SpaceX’s Starlink internet satellites alone.
Starlink is growing fast, and SpaceX has filed paperwork for as many as 42,000 satellites. Others such as OneWeb, Amazon, Qianfan and Guowang are also building “mega-constellations” (巨星星座). In total Dr Borlaff reckons there could be around half a million satellites in low orbits — below about 2,000 kilometres — by 2040.
Exactly how bothersome the satellites will be depends on factors such as how high a telescope flies and whether it has a wide or narrow field of view. Calculating the numbers, the researchers concluded that around a third of Hubble images could be affected. That sounds bad enough. But if anything, the Hubble gets off lightly.
What to do? SpaceX has tried to make its satellites less reflective, though with limited success, notes Dr Borlaff. Coordination and data-sharing can help. Astronomers armed with details of a mega-constellation’s orbits can time their observations to minimise interference. But that solution does not scale well, says Dr Borlaff: eventually the sky becomes so crowded that avoidance is impossible.
12. What serious problem may space telescopes soon face?
A. They may lose contact with Earth because of satellite signals.
B. Their images may be polluted by sunlight reflected from satellites.
C. They may run out of energy due to the growing number of satellites.
D. Their orbits may be changed by nearby satellites.
13. What do the numbers mentioned in Paragraphs 3 and 4 mainly show?
A. The cost of launching satellites has risen quickly.
B. The number of satellites in orbit is increasing dramatically.
C. Different countries are competing to launch satellites.
D. Satellites are becoming smaller and more advanced.
14. What is Dr Borlaff’s attitude toward the proposed solutions?
A. Optimistic B. Doubtful C. Indifferent D. Supportive
15. What is the most suitable title for the passage?
A. The Rapid Development of Satellite Internet
B. Why Astronomers Prefer Telescopes in Space
C. The Future of Space Telescopes
D. The Impact of numerous Satellites on Astronomy

In a time when celebrities, social media influencers, and famous personalities seem like they are just a click away, it’s easy to understand how emotional bonds with public figures have become more personal and complex than ever. ____16____
The term was coined in 1956 when televisions became widely available, and TV viewers began to develop the sense of false closeness with the characters on the screen. The parasocial relationships are one-sided relationships in which a person develops a strong sense of connection or familiarity with someone they don’t know, most often celebrities or media personalities. ____17____ They experience a bond that lacks reciprocity (互惠).
There is no firm conclusion regarding why people develop parasocial relationships. ____18____ When so much of our time is spent online or watching TV or movies, we’re naturally likely to recognize the faces we repeatedly see and develop warm feelings for them.
Another possible cause is loneliness. Some research suggests that the lonelier an individual feels, the more likely they are to engage in parasocial relationships, seeking a connection in some form, if not in real life. ____19____ Some researchers have found that highly social individuals who are more likely to form friendships and relationships in real life are also more likely to form parasocial relationships.
There is also the belief that parasocial relationships can simply be less demanding and more fun than real-life relationships. ____20____ Plus the subjects of parasocial relationships are typically talented, beautiful, or funny.
Originally believed to be unhealthy due to their one-sided nature, these parasocial relationships are typically harmless and, in fact, quite common.
A. Other research contradicts the idea.
B. They contribute to real-life relationships.
C. These are known as parasocial relationships.
D. Parasocial relationships can certainly have benefits.
E. But one is that the human brain developed to be social.
F. These relationships exist only in the mind of the individual.
G. There are no conflicts or maintenance that need to be attended to.

The more you trust and believe in angels, the more they will pour their blessings upon you.
It was our first day to explore the city of Moscow on our own, without a friend or tour guide leading the way. My husband and I had completed a week-long tour and felt confident that we could wander through the streets by ourselves now. We had enjoyed a full day of exploration when suddenly the sky turned from clear blue to gray. “It’s time to head back!” I said.
As we went on along the road to our hotel, Kvart, the storm clouds covered the entire sky, and the first raindrops began to hit our heads.
“Should we grab a taxi?” I yelled, the rain being so loud that I had to raise my voice.
“No, we can make it,” my husband boomed back. “It’s only a twenty-minute walk.”
As the rain and wind increased, so did our footsteps. The streets had turned into roaring rivers that quickly soaked our shoes. Suddenly, the biggest eruption of thunder I had ever experienced sounded directly above us! I thought my heart truly stopped for- that moment.
We hurried forward, but it wasn’t long before we realized that we had been walking much longer than it should have taken us to reach our hotel. Where on earth did we take the wrong turn? We had not bought international phone cards, so we couldn’t call for help, and the streets were empty.
Suddenly we noticed some lights on at a gas station. Great, at least we could ask someone there for help! As we approached it, two men were refueling their Chevrolet car. We asked them how to get to Kvart. They didn’t reply but managed a friendly no d and smile. We went on to explain the situation with the few awkward Russian phrases we had just learned. They listened intently, but it was obvious that they were becoming increasingly confused. We had to try our luck back on the street, praying deep down, “Please, send angels to lead us back.”
注意：
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;.
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Then a familiar Chevrolet-car pulled up besides us...

Then a familiar Chevrolet car pulled up beside us. It was the same car we had seen earlier at the gas station. The driver rolled down the window and waved at us with the other man beside him, saying a few words in Russian. Although we didn’t understand the language, we quickly resorted to gestures, wanting to grasp the last straw. Suddenly, my husband got an idea. He rummaged through the bag, pulled out the hotel card and pointed frantically to it with the repeated word “Kvart”, hoping they would understand. Thankfully, the driver nodded and the other man typed Kvart into his phone map and and showed us, as if asking us for confirmation. Seeing this, we nodded desperately and gave thumbs-up signs.
Finally they understood what we meant. And more fortunately, they offered to escort us back to the hotel. The driver started the engine and the other man beside him occasionally glanced at us with a reassuring smile. We felt safe and secure, though the streets were still deserted and the rain was relentless. After what seemed like an eternity, we arrived and the rain began to let up. The driver parked the car and opened the door for us. We thanked them profusely, but they just smiled and left. We walked into the hotel, feeling exhausted but grateful. Angels had led us back to safety, and we knew that it was because we had trusted and believed in them.
