As a child, Danielle Belleny’s love for nature led her to wildlife biology. Growing up, Danielle Belleny was always outdoors, picking up insects and investigating the animal world on her own. She hadn’t yet heard of wildlife biology, but that’s what she was learning about. She wanted to be a vet, a person who can treat sick or injured animals, at first. She said, “I always knew I wanted to work with animals, and as a kid, that was the only job I knew where I could do that.” But when Belleny was in college, her dad advised her to learn wildlife biology instead of veterinary (兽医学).
Later, Belleny started working on research projects. One project involved placing trackers on a bird called the northern bobwhite. For another, she spent time feeding goats, as a way to protect a grass habitat for endangered box turtles without hurting them.
Belleny’s current job at Plateau Land and Wildlife Management lets her split her time between the indoors and outdoors. It also lets her work with people. “In the mornings, I’m usually out the door before sunrise,” she says. She observes birds, keeping track of different species. And she searches for signs of what other animals in the area are doing. Around lunchtime, she’ll return home and write up a report. In the afternoon, she leaves for another site visit. She advises people on how to protect the wildlife that lives on their farm. Her work takes her all around Texas.
Outside of work, young Belleny has been bird-watching for seven years. Her first book This Is a Book for People Who Love Birds was published in May, 2022. Now she’s working on a children’s book about birding, which is scheduled to come out in spring 2024. Belleny has some advice for young people thinking about careers. “Try everything you’re interested in through books and libraries. If you’re into wildlife biology, go to a library and find some field guides. After learning much information, you can do research work more easily”.

Few things delight children, or irritate their parents, as much as screen time. Parents nag their children to put down their digital devices and pick up a book or a football. Some countries are banning social media for under-16s.
The worry may be focused on the wrong age group. Now a new generation of grandparents are adding to their screen time with smartphones, iPads and game consoles. The result is epic screen sessions, which take up more than half of their waking hours.
The digitization of old age is a good thing. Facebook and WhatsApp bring daily updates from old friends and faraway grandchildren. Zoom transports church, book clubs and doctors’appointments into the home. Older people are also insulated (使隔离) from some of the on-screen risks that threaten teenagers. They have already formed their key real-life relationships, and so are less in danger of the “social stunting” that screen-obsessed children supposedly suffer.
Yet as retirement moves online there will be costs that society must address. Older folks’ devices are usually connected to credit cards. Door-to-door cheat can now go iPad-to-iPad. Older people also appear to be more likely susceptible to online scam which artificial intelligence promises to make still more convincing. As older generations shift from spending their time in front of Fox or the BBC to spending it on YouTube or TikTok, they are entering a Wild West of information.
Screen time has a mixed impact on loneliness. Screens are companions for the isolated. But they can also be an alternative for real life. E-commerce removes the trouble of the weekly shopping trip — but also the social interactions that come with it. Balancing the pros and cons of screen use is easier for teenagers, whose time online is limited by teachers during the day and parents in the evening. Older folk lack these informal mediators (调停者).
Old people’s rocketing screen time should at least make for a more measured debate on digital matters. Generations do not always understand each other well. There is a long history of policymakers calling for bans on teenagers, from rock ‘n’ roll to violent video games. When the teenagers catches on more widely, the panic tends to die down. Universal use of smart-phones and social media should make it easier to have sensible conversations about their trade-offs. And when children are told for the hundredth time to get off their phones, they can cast a meaningful glance at grandpa in the corner, chuckling at the latest memes on WhatsApp.
5．By mentioning the two generations’ screen time, the author intends to ______.
A．highlight an issue B．evaluate an event C．clarify a goal D．illustrate an approach
6．What does the underlined phrase “susceptible to” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A．Tolerant to. B．Awakened by. C．Tricked by. D．Relevant to.
7．What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．Each generation tends to self-limit their own screen time strictly.
B．Society has promoted seniors’ digital benefits to prevent panic.
C．Digital policy should primarily target seniors’ online safety risks.
D．The digital engagement across ages calls for balanced discussions.
8．Which would be the best title for this passage
A．Square-eyed Elders B．All-thumbs Seniors
C．Self-taught Silver Surfers D．Leisure-seeking Grandparents

When Maggie was a very young girl, she loved looking up at the stars in the sky, and she loved a British television stop- animation (定格动画) series, The Clangers, about mousy- looking beings from another planet. It’s debatable as to which fueled her dream of becoming a space scientist more, but one thing is for sure: the passion Maggie had for space inspired a career and helped her overcome her dyslexia (读写困难) .
The now celebrated space scientist, mechanical engineer, and science communicator grew up bouncing from one area of the country to another, the child of two Nigerian immigrants. Diagnosed (诊断) with dyslexia at the age of eight, Maggie faced enormous challenges in traditional learning environments. Dyslexia often made reading and writing difficult, and she was sometimes looked down upon by classmates.
Despite these obstacles, her passion for science and space exploration shone through. Rather than focusing on the limitations dyslexia imposed, Maggie discovered its advantages: her brain was good at visualization and problem- solving, enabling her to think creatively and approach challenges from unique perspectives. Her journey to success wasn’t easy. After overcoming early academic struggles, she went on to earn degrees in physics and mechanical engineering. Today, she is well known for her work in space science, including the development of satellites and instruments used to explore the universe. Her contributions to science are widely recognized, and she has become an inspiring role model for young people, particularly those facing learning difficulties.
Her story is a powerful reminder that dyslexia is not a limitation but a different way of processing the world, one that can lead to extraordinary achievements. Maggie’s life and career prove that facing what makes you different can turn challenges into strengths, inspiring others to see the potential in their own unique abilities.
14．What can we learn about Maggie from paragraph 1
A．She was born with a talent for space science. B．Her dyslexia stopped her path to her dream.
C．Her passion for space promoted her career. D．She was mainly inspired by The Clangers.
15．Which word best describes Maggie’s early learning experience
A．Engaging. B．Enriching. C．Relaxing. D．Demanding.
16．What did Maggie’s achievements result from
A．Inner desire. B．Family support.
C．Peer assistance. D．Social recognition.
17．What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text
A．To present a scientist’s contributions. B．To discuss the disadvantages of dyslexia.
C．To encourage people to face difficulties bravely. D．To highlight the importance of space exploration.
Franklin D．Roosevelt hated small talk. He argued that in most conversations of this kind, people never actually listened to what other people said, as if people were reading from a prompt card (提示卡) and politely waiting their turn. To illustrate his point, he would sometimes greet people by saying, “I murdered a huge snake this morning.” Invariably, people nodded, smiled, and carried on as usual. Only once did someone actually listen, and replied, “I’m sure she had it coming.”
Roosevelt no doubt had a point. A lot of the time, people hardly ever listen to what’s going on in a conversation. They focus instead on getting their own response ready. Research proves that good conversations, like a game of catch, are a back-and-forth game. They need a talking-listening ratio (比率) that’s not far from 50:50. When we talk tirelessly, our partner can feel unwanted and unappreciated. When we listen to someone else, we allow them to deal with whatever stresses or bothers them. As such, it builds much deeper relationships with much higher satisfaction.
Listening does not always come easily to people. But there are small tricks you can try. One is to let silence fall. Silence is the space where conversation grows. In the same way the words on this page are defined by the space around them, silence allows our ideas to take shape and drives the conversation forward. Let people say more. Just because someone has stopped talking, it doesn’t mean they’re done communicating. Another helpful habit is asking questions. Don’t plan them in advance or wait for your turn to speak. Ask for more information about something which interests you. Explore the details behind a half-told story. It’s a hard skill to get right, but it gets easier with practice.
When we listen to what other people say, when we read and learn from the world, we become better. As Epictetus, an ancient Greek philosopher, once said, “Nature has given men one tongue but two ears, that we may hear from others twice as much as we speak.”
18．Why did Roosevelt greet people unusually
A．To test their sympathy. B．To evaluate social politeness.
C．To expose their passive listening. D．To avoid exchanging small talk.
19．What leads to strong interpersonal bonds
A．Talking more to show you care.
B．Finding common topics to discuss.
C．Sharing your own experiences regularly.
D．Giving others enough time to express themselves.
20．What does the author suggest about silence in conversation
A．It is a sign of disinterest.
B．It allows thoughts to develop.
C．It means the talk is about to end.
D．It brings reflective answers to questions.
21．What is the most suitable title for the text
A．Why We Fail to Listen
B．How to Have a Good Conversation
C．Beyond Hearing: The Art of Listening
D．Conversations: More Than Just Talking
When I was young, my father inspired my love for astronomy and space exploration by taking me outside at night to observe the stars. Together, we learned to identify constellations (星座), and I felt drawn to the power of the universe. Now, as a master’s student in Stanford’s Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, I am pursuing that early wonder.
I chose Stanford because it combines cutting-edge technology with real-world impact. Here, engineering is purposeful — aimed at creating change beyond oneself. To me, space offers a platform for large-scale positive impact. I want to use it not only to advance technology, but to help ordinary people and address major challenges. Examples include using satellites to monitor climate and detect wildfires, or applying microgravity environments to develop new medicines and materials.
In my program, I take and assist in courses covering all aspects of the space environment — from guidance systems to spacecraft design. Beyond the classroom, I explore space entrepreneurship as a member of the Threshold Venture Fellow program, which gives students a front-row seat to startup creation. I am passionate about innovation and hope to see more women taking the lead in this field.
Aerospace has long been taken over by men, with women facing many one-sided views. Since high school, I have worked to change this through a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) outreach program, teaching scientific concepts to young girls in schools that lack sufficient resources. My father once showed me historical figures like Hypatia, the ancient astronomer and mathematician, proving that women have long been pioneers in science.
What I value greatly about Stanford is its interdisciplinary (跨学科) culture. As an engineer, I can take classes in law or ethics, which help me consider space innovation from multiple perspectives. Debating was a favorite hobby of mine growing up, and that skill is particularly useful in a field full of uncharted questions.
Since my bike broke early in the term, I’ve been walking everywhere. The campus is beautiful, and walking allows me time to think, plan, and relax. It is a peaceful routine in a busy life — and a gentle reminder to keep moving forward, step by step.
22．What does the author aim to illustrate by mentioning the examples in paragraph 2
A．Stanford’s leadership in space technology.
B．The difficulty of solving global challenges.
C．The main courses of her major at Stanford.
D．The real-world value of space-related work.
23．What does the Threshold Venture Fellow program offer
A．Hands-on experience in startup creation. B．Guidance on spacecraft design.
C．Chances to assist in college courses. D．Courses in environmental art.
24．What can we infer about the author
A．She dislikes interdisciplinary courses.
B．She wants to empower women in STEM.
C．She walks to avoid bike traffic on campus.
D．She once worked as a historical astronomer.
25．What is the text mainly about
A．Ways to study law or ethics at Stanford.
B．The beauty of Stanford’s campus scenery.
C．A student’s love for space and her efforts.
D．The role of women in space-related fields.
A small, quiet Caribbean island has been transformed into a successful breeding (繁殖) ground for the critically endangered Lesser Antillean iguana (鬣蜥). Once absent from Prickly Pear East, the species now multiplies there, with scientists celebrating the rising population.
The Lesser Antillean iguana faced extinction across most of its native range. A major threat comes from the introduced green iguana, which competes for food, is more aggressive (进攻性), and interbreeds with the native species, diluting its genetics. Nearly a decade ago, the native iguanas had disappeared from Prickly Pear East.
Determined to save the species, conservationists from the Anguilla National Trust launched a rescue mission. In 2015, they carefully captured the few remaining native iguanas on the main island of Anguilla. After genetic testing confirmed they were purebred, the first ten were transported by boat to Prickly Pear East. With no dogs, cats, traffic, or green iguanas, the small island offered a safe home.
The relocation of the iguanas achieved remarkable results. The iguanas adapted and began breeding. The population on the small island has now grown to approximately 300, making it one of five key global sites for the species’ recovery. It is estimated that fewer than 20,000 of these iguanas survive worldwide.
To further ensure the health of the new population, scientists sought to increase its genetic diversity. They collaborated with authorities in Dominica, which is home to the region’s largest remaining population of Lesser Antillean iguanas. After health checks, additional iguanas were carefully flown from Dominica to Anguilla and then released on Prickly Pear East.
The iguanas, which are bright green when they are young and turn dark gray or black as adults, now breed freely across the island. While Prickly Pear East remains unoccupied by people and welcomes visiting boaters, the endangered iguanas are under strict protection and will never be hunted locally.
This project shows how a species can be brought back from the edge of extinction. It proves that when endangered animals are kept safe from non-native species and harmful human activities, they can rebound and grow well.
26．What does the underlined word “diluting” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Improving the quality of. B．Protecting the diversity of.
C．Weakening the uniqueness of. D．Strengthening the stability of.
27．Why were the first ten iguanas sent to Prickly Pear East
A．To test their genetic purity. B．To provide them a protected habitat.
C．To study their breeding habits. D．To capture green iguanas there.
28．Which word best describes the project carried out by the Anguilla National Trust
A．Successful. B．Risky. C．Time-consuming. D．Disappointing.
29．Where is the text most probably taken from
A．A Caribbean travel brochure. B．A recipe book of local food.
C．A magazine on wildlife biology. D．A textbook of Anguilla history.
Psychologists have long been in disagreement as to whether competition is a learned or a genetic component of human behavior. Whatever it is, you cannot but recognize the effect competition is exerting in academics and many other areas of contemporary life.
Psychologically speaking, competition has been seen as an inevitable consequence of human drives. According to Sigmund Freud, humans are born screaming for attention and full of organic drives for fulfillment in various areas. Initially, we compete for the attention of our parents. Thereafter, we are at the mercy of a battle between our base impulses for self-fulfillment and social and cultural norms which prohibit pure indulgence.
Current work in anthropology (人类学) has suggested,however,that this view of the role of competition in human behavior may be incorrect. Thomas Hobbes, one of the great philosophers of the seventeenth century, is perhaps best remembered for his characterization of the “natural world,” that is, the world before the imposition of the will of humanity, as being “nasty, brutish, and short.” This image of the pre-rational world is still widely held, reinforced by Charles Darwin’s highly influential work, The Origin of Species, which established the doctrine of natural selection. This doctrine, which takes for granted that those species best able to adapt to and master the natural environment in which they live will survive, has suggested that the struggle for survival is an inherent human trait which determines a person’s success. Darwin’s theory has even been summarized as “survival of the fittest” — a phrase Darwin himself never used-further highlighting competition’s role in success. As it has often been pointed out, however, there is nothing in the concept of natural selection that suggests that competition is the most successful strategy for “survival of the fittest.” Darwin asserted in The Origin of Species that the struggles he was describing should be viewed as metaphors and could easily include dependence and cooperation.
Many studies have been conducted to test the importance placed on competition as opposed to other values, such as cooperation — by various cultures, and generally conclude that Americans uniquely praise competition as natural, inevitable, and desirable. In 1937, the world-renowned anthropologist Margaret Mead published Cooperation and Competition among Primitive Peoples, based on her studies of several societies that did not prize competition, and, in fact, seemed at times to place a negative value on it. One such society was the Zuni Indians of Arizona, and they, Mead found, valued cooperation far more than competition. After studying dozens of such cultures, Mead’s final conclusion was that competitiveness is a culturally created aspect of human behavior, and that its prevalence in a particular society is relative to how that society values it.

A．The disagreement on the inevitability of competition.
B．The consequence of psychological investigation.
C．The effect of human drives.
D．The impact of competition.
31．According to psychology, what do people strive to do following the initial stage of their life
A．Fulfill individual needs without incurring adverse effects of human drives.
B．Indulge in cultural pursuits while keeping their base impulses at bay.
C．Gain extensive recognition without exposing pure indulgence.
D．Satisfy their own desires while observing social conventions.
32．What do we learn about the “natural world” characterized by Thomas Hobbes
A．It gets misrepresented by philosophers and anthropologists.
B．It gets distorted in Darwin’s The Origin of Species.
C．It is free from the rational intervention of humans.
D．It is the pre-rational world rarely appreciated nowadays.
33．What can we conclude from Darwin’s assertion in The Origin of Species
A．All species inherently depend on others for survival.
B．Struggles for survival do not exclude mutual support.
C．Competition weighs as much as cooperation as a survival strategy.
D．The strongest species proves to be the fittest in natural selection.
34．What conclusion did Margaret Mead reach after studying dozens of different cultures

B．Americans are uniquely opposed to cooperation.
C．Competition is relatively more prevalent in Western societies.
D．People’s attitude towards competition is actually culture-bound.
In January 2025, an announcement from a little-known Chinese AI startup sent shock waves through the global tech industry. DeepSeek, founded by former finance investor Liang Wenfeng released its R1 reasoning model, a system that matched the performance of leading closed-source AI tools (such as OpenAI’s GPT-4) but at a small portion of the cost. For Nature’s 2025 “Nature’s 10” list, we recognize Liang as a tech disruptor whose work has written the rules of the global AI race.
Liang, 40, began his career in quantitative finance, where he developed algorithms for stock market prediction. He turned to AI in 2023, founding DeepSeek to “popularize access to advanced reasoning systems”, after growing frustrated by the high cost of cutting-edge AI tools. His team, a group of 35 researchers, built R1 with a total development budget of $6 million — less than 10% of the cost of competitors like Meta’s Llama 3.
The model’s performance was a stunning success. In independent tests, R1 scored 89.2 on the MMLU reasoning standard (matching GPT-4’s 89.7), and outperformed it on coding tasks. What made the breakthrough ground-breaking, however, was Liang’s decision to open-source R1’s weights — a first for a system of this level. Within weeks, the model was downloaded 1.2 million times, with researchers adapting it to fields from drug discovery to climate modeling.
“DeepSeek’s open model has been a boon for small teams and academics who could never afford to build such tools themselves,” says Benjamin Lee, a former researcher at Hugging Face. The move also forced Western rivals to shift strategy: within three months, Google and Anthropic released their own partially open models, accelerating global AI collaboration.
For Liang, the goal remains simple: “AI should be a tool for everyone, not just the wealthy few.” As Nature’s 2025 “Nature’s 10” profile concludes: “Liang’s work has not just built a better AI model, it has proven that flexibility, collaboration, and a commitment to openness can outpace even the deepest pockets.”
35．What can we infer from the first paragraph about DeepSeek’s R1 model
A．It has surpassed GPT-4 as the leading AI tool globally.
B．It has altered the competitive pattern of the global AI industry.
C．It was developed with a much higher cost than closed-source AI tools.
D．It was the AI model to be included in Nature’s 2025 “Nature’s 10” list.
36．Why did Liang Wenfeng switch from quantitative finance to AI research
A．He failed to achieve success in the financial field.
B．He wanted to make advanced AI accessible to more people.
C．He was invited by a group of AI researchers to found DeepSeek.
D．He found stock market prediction algorithms less challenging.
37．The underlined word “disruptor” in Paragraph 1 most probably means ______.
A．someone who preserves traditional rules
B．someone who interrupts and changes an industry
C．someone who invests heavily in a new business field
D．someone who supports new technological development
38．What is the main idea of the passage
A．Liang Wenfeng’s experience in quantitative finance helps his AI research.
B．DeepSeek’s R1 model has been widely applied in various scientific fields.
C．Liang Wenfeng’s open-source AI model reshapes the global AI landscape.
D．The development of AI has led to fierce competition among global tech companies.
Watching the motorbike roll out of the hire shop in Thakhek, Laos, I wondered if I was making a terrible mistake. It was March 2017, and I had agreed to go on a road trip with Travis, an American I’d met just weeks earlier in an international programme in Thailand. I tended to be circumspect around people I didn’t know but Travis’s constant efforts to get to know me had worked, and we connected over a shared sense of humour. His suggestion to explore Laos together felt like the natural progression of our friendship.
Travis wanted to visit a hot climbing spot while I wanted to see the Laos that wasn’t on the typical tourist trail — and it seemed like the only way we could do both was to travel by motorbike, a means of transport I actively avoided for many years.
When I was a little boy, my dad would go to work on his motorbike every day and it seemed to me like a perfectly natural way to travel. That all changed in 2004. While backpacking in Sihanoukville, a motorbike crash landed me in a medical clinic with a serious leg injury. Though I promised to be safer in the future, back in London I found myself always trying to avoid motorbikes. The scars on my leg became a permanent reminder of the accident and I grew cautious about doing anything involving physical risk.
By 2017, it had been more than a decade since I had ridden on a motorbike. Travis assured me that he had a driver’s licence and would drive safely. I looked down at the scars on my leg, took a deep breath and swung my leg over the seat.
I needn’t have worried. The journey unfolded smoothly, carrying us to splendid temples, expansive lakes, hidden caves, and little cafes. We rode through winding mountain roads to reach scenic villages that we would never have otherwise encountered. It was a trip that healed my “scars” and supplied me with the confidence to connect more readily with strangers and to adventure more.

A．Friendly. B．Impatient. C．Cautious. D．Enthusiastic.
40．What led the author to agree to go on a trip with Travis
A．Travis’s spirit of adventure. B．Their mutual interest in Laos.
C．Their shared purpose of traveling. D．Travis’s efforts to bond with him.
41．Why did the author hesitate to travel by motorbike at first
A．He didn’t trust Travis’s driving skills. B．He was not familiar with the roads in Laos.
C．He preferred a faster means of transportation. D．He had an accident on a motorbike in the past.
42．Which of the following best describes the author’s journey in Laos
A．Healing. B．Uneventful. C．Adventurous. D．Romantic.

As for advantages of bilingualism, the state or practice of mastering two languages, beyond the conversational doors it can open, it’s supposed to improve multiple abilities, including the ability to plan complex tasks and update beliefs as new information arrives. Most striking, studies have even shown that bilinguals exhibit a later onset of dementia (痴呆症). But some of these studies have failed to repeat, leaving experts wondering whether the effect is real, and if so, what exactly it consists of.
The good news is that it’s never too late to start learning a new language, if you want your brains to benefit. The biggest benefit seem to come to those with full mastery of a second language, typically native bilinguals or those who use two languages nearly daily. Interpreters and translators, for instance, outperform people who only can speak or use one language at alternating between simple math tasks, signaling better mental regulation, as was proven in a research.
Another research has revealed that bilingual young children outperform their peers in early cognitive (认知的) development. It found that a great many of relevant studies confirmed a bilingual advantage among children under six.
Concerning the other end of life, Ellen Bialystok of York University, in Canada, has compared the cognitive protection bilingualism offers to the coverage of a piece of bread afforded by a slice of holey Swiss cheese. Learning new languages is similar to piling up the cheese slices. Their holes occur in different places, thus collectively offering greater protection.
All these studies take for granted the uncontroversial (无争议的) mental superpower that you get from language study. Even if you cannot pick your parents and be fluent from childhood, that should be more than enough reason to give it a go.

Robots could soon gain the ability to autonomously carry out search-and-rescue missions, industrial inspections and other complex tasks in environments where traditional navigation (导航) tools fail, thanks to a new bio-inspired system developed by researchers at the Beijing Institute of Technology. Focused primarily on animals, this new system could help robots navigate areas where the traditional GPS struggles.
The system aims to solve a long-standing challenge in field robotics: how to navigate reliably in unstructured, GPS-denied settings such as caves, forests, collapsed buildings and underground sites. Most existing autonomous systems rely heavily on GPS or vision-based mapping, both of which can crash when signals are blocked or sensors are damaged.
“Our research was inspired by a critical gap in bio-inspired robotics,” said first author Sheikder Chandan. Instead of relying on a single method, the system combines strategies observed in insects, birds, and mice to create a unified, fault-tolerant approach. The system has three core parts: an ant-inspired path tracker which keeps tracking even when sensors are noisy, a bird-inspired multi-sense system, and a mouse-inspired mapping system that selectively updates spatial memory only when landmarks appear. All above ensure stable operation — if one fails, the others automatically take over.
The system helps conserve energy, reduce processing load, and keep navigation stable in chaotic environments. It is massively efficient compared to Simultaneous localization and Mapping (SLAM), which constantly updates maps, using lots of power. The researchers tested the system using 23 types of robots across challenging real-world environments, including abandoned mines and thick forests. According to the team, the system reduced positional error by 41%, delivered up to 60% greater energy efficiency and recovered from sensor failures 83% faster.
Potential uses span disaster response, space exploration and deep-sea operations — areas where GPS is unavailable and sensor reliability cannot be guaranteed. To this end, it marks progress toward robots that navigate like animals, steadily and autonomously, without constant human monitoring. Looking ahead, the team hopes the system develops continuous learning ability to make robot behavior more adaptive. Future work will also explore emerging technologies such as expanded memory structures to support kilometer-scale mapping.

The Amazon rainforest is often described as the “lungs of the planet”. Stretching across nine nations, it provides shelter for millions of species and stores large amounts of carbon. Despite climate change and deforestation (砍伐森林), new research has revealed a surprising discovery: the trees themselves are growing larger.
A team of nearly 100 researchers monitored tree sizes in 188 plots across the Amazon rainforest between 1971 and 2015. They found that the average tree size — including both small and large trees — increased by 3. 3 percent every decade.
The growth is linked to the rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). “Large trees are hugely beneficial in absorbing atmospheric CO2, which in turn acts as a fertilizer to nourish them. The increased availability of atmospheric CO2 due to climate change serves to boost photosynthesis (光合作用), speeding up tree growth,” joint lead author Adriane Esquivel-Muelbert said.
While the growth of trees brings positive news, the research also warns of significant risks. Trees may become more susceptible to other climate-driven factors, such as drought, heat and wildfire. Human activities like deforestation and the expansion of roads and farms could also reduce the trees’ ability to absorb CO2.
“Although our research has shown that trees in undamaged forests are still increasing in size, any benefits of this in terms of the carbon sink can be easily cancelled out by deforestation and logging impacts. Our results suggest that the Amazon rainforest can handle climate change really well. My fear is that this ability won’t matter at all unless we can stop deforestation itself,” Esquivel-Muelbert said.
57．Why is the Amazon rainforest called the “lungs of the planet”
A．It has the most trees among all forests in the world.
B．Its trees can produce more oxygen than other plants.
C．It is the largest forest that stretches across nine nations.

58．What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A．The results of climate change. B．Reasons for the increase in tree size.
C．Essential conditions for tree growth. D．The key role of trees in storing CO2.
59．What does the underlined word “susceptible” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A．Sensitive. B．Tolerant. C．Tough. D．Beneficial.
60．Which would be the best title for the passage
A．Amazon Trees Grow Bigger with More CO2 B．The Amazon Rainforest: Growth and Risks
C．Deforestation: A Big Threat to the Amazon D．How to Keep CO2 in the Amazon Rainforest
Traditional Food Culture Guide
Here are four traditional foods with rich cultural backgrounds.
Sushi (Japan)
Sushi originated in Southeast Asia around the 2nd century BCE as a method of preserving fish with fermented (发酵的) rice. Today, it has become a famous symbol of Japanese culture. Each piece reflects respect for seasonal ingredients and the concept of “shun” (seasonal peak). Chefs carefully select ingredients to ensure every piece shows nature’s best flavor. This dining style emphasizes simplicity and harmony.
Pizza (Italy)
Pizza was born in 18th-century Naples, Italy, originally as convenient food for common people. In 1889, the Margherita pizza became popular for using the three colors of the national flag (tomato, mozzarella, basil). It represents Italian family dining culture— simple ingredients mixed under high heat create a dish that crosses social classes.
Tacos (Mexico)
Corn tortillas can be traced back to the Aztec civilization, when ancient Indians wrapped food in corn dough. Today, tacos are the soul of Mexican street culture. Each family’s filling recipe is passed down through generations, from slow-cooked meat to fresh vegetables, reflecting “handmade warmth” and community sharing. In 2010, the Mexican traditional cuisine was added on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage (非物质文化遗产) of Humanity.
Dumplings (China)
Dumplings originated in the Eastern Han Dynasty when Zhang Zhongjing wrapped medicinal herbs in dough to cure common people. Today, they are a core symbol of family reunion during Spring Festival. The process of family members’ gathering to make dumplings represents “geng sui jiaozi” (farewell to the old year). Fillings vary by region, but all carry the “taste of home” and blessing culture.
61．What can we learn about pizza according to the text
A．It was originally designed for royal families.
B．Its popularity is due to complex cooking techniques.
C．It became an international dish because of its three colors.
D．It first appeared as convenient food for ordinary people.
62．Why is the UNESCO mentioned in the Tacos section
A．To demonstrate its internationally recognized cultural value.
B．To show the complexity of the cooking process.
C．To highlight the uniqueness of family recipes.
D．To emphasize its popularity only in Mexico.
63．Which food is originally related to medical treatment
A．Sushi. B．Pizza.
C．Tacos. D．Dumplings.
