A few years ago, teenager Mia Heller came across an article in her local newspaper about ongoing water quality issues in her neighborhood in Warrenton, Virginia. Tests had revealed that the water available for daily consumption was highly polluted by microplastics. Not long after that, Heller’s parents invested in a water filtration system at her home. The system, however, comes with high price tags and constant upkeep. Seeing her mother replace the water filter membranes（膜）time and again, Heller set out to find a better solution.
By early January of 2025, after testing in her garage and kitchen and overcoming obstacles, she had a working prototype（原型）. “It was essentially just a container,” she says. Within the container was her filtration system, Heller chose a reusable magnetic（磁性的）oil called ferrofluid to selectively bind to microplastics as water flows through her filtration system. While her model successfully filtered out the microplastics from the water in two simple steps, the system still required constant maintenance, as it did not self-recycle the ferrofluid.
Determined to find an answer, Heller continued experimenting. About five trials later, she found the perfect solution. Her current prototype, which is about the size of a standard bag of flour, consists of three modules. The first unit, about a liter in volume, holds the polluted water inside it, while the second stores the magnetic oil-based ferrofluid. The core process takes place in the third module, which is much smaller. “A magnetic field pulls the microplastics out of the water, and the ferrofluid is recovered and reused in a closed circle,” explains Heller.
According to her tests, her prototype successfully removed 95.52 percent of microplastics from the water and recycled 87.15 percent of the ferrofluid. Traditional drinking-water treatment plants remove about 70 to more than 90 percent of microplastic components. “The result is an affordable, low-waste filtration system without the use of a solid membrane,” says Heller.
For her innovation, Heller was a finalist in the 2025 Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair, the world’s largest global science competition for high school students.
24. What directly drove Heller to seek a better solution
A. Local water pollution. B. High household expenses.
C. Frequent maintenance. D. Inspiration from a newspaper.
25. What is the key for the current prototype
A. Its special container. B. Its two-step filtration.
C. Its three-module structure. D. Its closed-circle recyeling.
26. Which of the following best describes Heller according to the text
A. Careful and considerate. B. Curious and cautious.
C. Responsible and creative. D. Ambitious and cooperative.
27. What can we learn from Heller’s story
A. A change is as good as a rest. B. Great minds think alike.
C. April showers bring May flowers. D. Small savings can add up.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and how it is served matters, too. When people do, they take much more than they pared with ordering from the menu, buffet breakfasts waste more food — up to twice as much, according to one study.
Experts have puzzled for years over how to encourage eaters to show a little control. Previous research has found that factors which influence how much ends up in the bin range from nationality to the size of the plates. The passive-aggressive signs on some buffet tables asking guests to take only what they know they will polish off have been shown to increase the piles of leftovers.
Now researchers in Norway and Italy have cooked up a new idea. They have built a virtual breakfast buffet populated with virtual guests and are using it to find the best strategies to make buffet-goers leave behind fewer leftovers.
The team settled on four main motivations guiding their model’s buffet goers: peckishness（饥饿）, the desire to live sustainably, social pressure and self-control. They then overlaid external drivers that turned those motives into behaviour. These altered variables such as the duration of the buffet, the size of plates and the diversity of food on offer.
The result suggested the most important influence in limiting waste was, unsurprisingly, someone’s attitude to sustainability. Plate size was the most important of the external drivers: although the people in the model with both small and large plates went back for more, those with smaller plates tended to finish what they took. How long guests were allowed to stick around and what food they could enjoy had less of an impact.
Hotels could use the virtual buffet to minimise food waste. They could see what happens if plates were 20% smaller, for example. They could also work out exactly how those annoying signs could be rewritten to have the most useful effect given a hotelier’s typical customers.
28. What is the problem for buffets
A. Offering proper service. B. Satisfying eaters’ tastes.
C. Controlling portion size. D. Adjusting eating duration.
29. What affects buffet-goers most according to the model
A. Peer pressure. B. Green mindset. C. Plate size. D. Nationality.
30. How does the virtual buffet benefit hotels
A. It enriches the menu. B. It changes service hours.
C. It rearranges table signs. D. It provides practical data.
31. What is a suitable title for the text
A. A Shift in Breakfast Buffet Habits. B. Virtual Model Lowers Breakfast Waste
C. Live Your Day with Sustainable Food D. A Computer Module for Buffet Breakfasts
D
Large language models（LLMs）are trained on the written word, from textbooks to social media posts, and our speech as captured in movies and on television. These models have minimal access to the unscripted（即兴）conversations we have face-to-face or voice-to-voice. This is the vast majority of speech, and a vital component of human culture.
There’s a risk to this. The increased use of LLMs means we humans will encounter much more AI-generated text. We humans, in turn, will begin to adopt the linguistic patterns and behaviors of these models. This will affect not just how we communicate with one another, but also how we think about ourselves and what goes on around us.
One of the first effects we could see is in simple expression, much as texting and social media have resulted in us using shorter sentences, emojis instead of words, and much less punctuation. But with AI, the impacts may be more harmful. A 2022 study found that children in households that used voice commands with tools like Siri and Alexa became curt when speaking with humans, often calling out “Hey, do X” and expecting obedience.
Additionally, LLMs may not learn how to emulate（模仿）the free-wheeling nature of live, natural speech. When told “I hate Beth!”, ChatGPT replies with an uninterrupted three-part formula of confirmation（“That’s completely valid”）, invitation（“I’m here to listen”）and invitation（“What’ s going on ”）, far longer than any reply in face-to-face dialog. “What’s Beth’s deal ” sets off a bullet point list of queries that reads like a multiple choice exam question（“Is Beth a celebrity ” “a friend from school ” “a fictional character ”）. No human speaks that way, at least not yet.
We don’t pretend to know what the best solutions might be. But one has to imagine: if there’s ingenuity（才能）to develop AI models, then surely there’s ingenuity to come up with a way to train them on informal human speech. People talk, fully and naturally, to each other — these models are being trained to mirror everything but us at our most authentically human.
32. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. The diverse sources for LLM training.
B. The value of face-to-face conversations.
C. The ways humans access LLMs.
D. The inadequacy of LLM training.
33. What does the underlined word “curt” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Rude. B. Excited. C. Anxious. D. Confused.
34. How does ChatGPT respond to personal remarks
A. In a fixed pattern. B. With casual comments.
C. In a way human thinks. D. With follow-up questions.
35. What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph
A. The best solution is easily available. B. LLMs need unscripted conversations.
C. AI models reflect true human feelings. D. AI goes far ahead of human intelligence.

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。
In an age of digital distraction, speed is celebrated. We skim news headlines, scroll social media, and jump between texts, treating reading as a task to finish quickly rather than an experience to enjoy. 36 Yet a quiet movement called slow reading is encouraging people to rediscover the depth and joy of reading at a gentle pace.
Slow reading is the practice of engaging with a text mindfully, taking time to understand ideas, appreciate language, and reflect on meaning. It contrasts sharply with speed reading, which prioritizes quantity over quality, and digital reading, which encourages skimming and multitasking. 37 It is a richer, more meaningful way to interact with written words. When we read slowly, we activate deeper parts of the brain involved in analysis, empathy, and reflection.
The rise of digital media has made slow reading harder to practice. Screens are designed for quick consumption, with hyperlinks, notifications, and short paragraphs that discourage deep focus. 38 This “digital attention defieit（缺失）” affects learning, work, and mental well-being.
39 It applies to any text, from articles to poems. Simple techniques can help anyone adopt the practice: setting aside dedicated time without devices, reading aloud, taking notes, and pausing to reflect on key points. These small changes turn reading from a hurried chore into a calming, rewarding activity.
The slow reading movement is not against technology or progress. It simply reminds us that reading is a human experience, not a performance criterion. By slowing down, we reconnect with the power of words to inspire, challenge, and transform us. In a fast-paced world, slow reading is not just a skill. 40 .
A. It is a form of self-care.
B. Slow reading is not just for books.
C. It reduces stress and improves mental clarity.
D. Advocates argue that slow reading is not inefficient.
E. A wide range of content is easily accessible on digital devices.
F This rushed approach weakens comprehension, memory, and critical thinking.
G. Many people admit failing to read a long article or book without feeling restless.

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。
I was the village “bad” boy. At least I was labelled that way because I had no interest in school or studies. I used bad language, hung around with other “bad” boys, skipped school and ran through the fields. When I wasn’t playing, I’d help my parents on our cashew（腰果树）farm. Our cashew farm was like a big forest garden.
When a cashew apple fully ripens, it turns sticky and juicy. The fragrance（香味）is a mild cross between an overripe banana and jackfruit. The air is scented by cashew fruit, and if you follow your nose, it will eventually lead you to a tree heavy with fruit. At the end of each day, I’d sit with my grandmother. Together we’d talk and roast cashew nuts over the fire. She’d give me a few raw cashew nuts which I sold at local stores to make some money. I’d spend the money on eatables like lemon-favoured chocolates, Parle-G biscuits, which I took with tea, mango-flavoured frooti, Pepsi, and famous brand chocolates like Kitkat.
Who’d want to go to school anyway No one thought I would do anything worthwhile with my life. And I’d heard many people in our village talking, “Why bother going to school These kids end up back on the farms anyway. He’ll never amount to anything.”
My mother visualised a different future. She was illiterate（文盲）and knew the value of education to create a better life. When I refused to go to school, she beat me until I dressed and put on my shoes. She’d follow me right up to the door of the classroom and watch me enter.
This bad boy image troubled me. I didn’t believe I was a bad boy, and I didn’t want to be a bad boy. These thoughts stayed buzzing in my mind. They were always with me, like mosquitoes buzzing around our cashew apples. By the time I entered the 12th grade, I had taken a good look at myself and realised the life I was creating…
My parents and teachers were disappointed with my average marks. I did not have any money. No one in the village gave me respect.

Dear Smith,
I’m Li Hua. I’m writing to share my work for the school’s DIY project. The details are as follows.
My work is named “Handmade Eco-friendly Pen Holder”, which combines my daily practice and understanding of environmental protection. I collected waste wood, polished it carefully to make it smooth. And then I painted it light blue and decorated it with small dried flowers. Upon finishing, I felt a great sense of achievement.
It was such a fulfilling experience that I realized that small efforts can create value. I am determined to further practice hands-on skills in the future.
Yours,
Li Hua

One possible version:
Paragraph 1
These realisations forced me to acknowledge that my mother was right— education is the key to changing my fate. I abandoned my previous attitude, focused wholeheartedly on my studies, asked teachers for guidance when encountering difficulties, and made detailed study plans. I gave up useless socializing, especially self-doubt about my future, and spent all my spare time reviewing lessons and doing exercises, and corrected my bad habits. With efforts, my academic performance improved significantly, which also made me regain confidence and proved that I could become a better person. My efforts paid off. I was admitted by a key university.
Paragraph 2
University was an ocean of new people, new ideas and new life, opening my eyes to a bigger world. It was a brand-new starting point for me, full of new opportunities and challenges. I actively participated in professional courses, listened lectures carefully, and communicated with classmates about the puzzles we confronted. I also combined my understanding of cashew planting with what I learned, putting forward practical improvement suggestions for local villagers. This process not only broadened my horizons but also made me realize that only through continuous learning can I change my life and live up to the expectations of my family and teachers. I decide to pursue a PhD in the future.

M: Good morning, everybody. Welcome to the Australian Wild Zoo. I would like to start by introducing you to the new features that we have added to our zoo recently.
Being the only zoo in the area, we receive thousands of visitors a year. We found that this huge visitor traffic was too demanding for the facilities, so we decided to expand ourselves in order to give every visitor a brilliant experience. Also, we recently expanded the exhibition center. But the entrance fee is the same as before—$10.
We intended to build a dog-walking area, but we felt that the zoo should only focus on wild animals.
We also introduced a new group of animals, so visitors can now see a whole range of new additions, including lions and bears. But one of our most exciting additions to the zoo is our native kangaroo, whom we have named Frisbee. For a fee of just $5, visitors can have their photos taken with him.
With this huge improvement to our facilities, we also found it necessary to change our regulations. We’re finalizing the regulations and will notify everyone once they’re ready for use.
