If you ask a true animal lover where they would want to spend their final moments，their answer will be simple：being in nature，surrounded by the creatures they love.Alfred Date was no exception.The extraordinary man who once held the title of Australia's oldest living man spent his last years knitting （编织） sweaters for injured penguins.
In 2001，a disastrous oil leak hit Phillip Island，threatening the lives of the local little penguins.Their feathers，once waterproof，were covered in poisonous oil，putting them at great risk of illness and death.To save them，the Penguin Foundation called on experienced knitters for help.The specially designed sweaters were not ordinary clothes；they were made to absorb the poisonous oil and stop the penguins from swallowing the harmful substance when cleaning their feathers.
Date，contacted by the foundation，immediately agreed to help.Despite his great age，he never lowered his standards. "I like to make it without mistakes，" he said.He also admitted， "I can't say no.It's a good way of getting along in life.You make friends all the time."
The special sweaters had a positive impact on the penguins，saving countless of them.The foundation's great proposal not only earned it recognition but also opened doors for donations.Unfortunately，Date，known as the"most senior little penguin jumper knitter"，passed away in 2016.However，even after his death，his lasting influence would live on forever.
Recently，this incredible story about Date resurfaced when one individual shared his remarkable contribution on Reddit.Reacting to the wholesome post，one commenter wrote， "This is the stuff we need in the news!" Similarly，another wrote， "What a lovely man!" Many shared their own stories of helping others and expressed their desire to follow his example.
4.What can we know about Alfred Date from paragraph 1？______

C. The penguins' homes were ruined by locals.
D. The sweaters needed to be specially designed.
6.What effect did the sweater project have besides saving penguins？______
A. It became Date's lasting influence.
B. It made penguins popular worldwide.
C. It raised public awareness and donations.
D. It brought wide attention to Date's death.
7.What is the main purpose of the passage？______

In the U.S.，museums outnumber Starbucks and McDonald's combined.They come in all sizes，from small family-run ones to large organizations，and are trusted sources of information and protectors of cultural history.
However，museums also face significant challenges.Due to their precious collections，they have large carbon footprints and are highly affected by climate change.Caitlin Southwick，a former art protector，points out that the strict temperature and dampness rules required for the care of historical objects make museums extremely energy-hungry.Additionally，museums use harmful chemicals for cleaning and restoring historical objects，which can pollute the soil and water if not managed properly.
Some museums are taking active steps.The Charles H.Wright Museum in Detroit is building a "smart museum" with a digital twin.This not only aids in experience design but also helps integrate sustainability （可持续性）.Despite the added energy needs，the comprehensive data benefits outweigh the costs.Others，like the Guggenheim Bilbao，have cut energy use by allowing wider temperature and dampness changes.Southwick also suggests adapting historical objects to better prepare for the impacts of climate change.
Museums are also increasingly at risk from extreme weather.The Wright Museum had to move its collections due to floods.Many U.S.museums are located near coasts or in storm-exposed areas.The Smithsonian is building flood defenses，and Tuvalu plans to create a metaverse replica of its real cultural heritage to ensure its culture lives on in the digital world if the physical country is covered by rising seas.
The Wright Museum also leads in advancing racial and climate justice，including sustainability in its goals and using digital data to communicate effectively.As trusted information sources，museums can play an important role in spreading climate awareness and taking on community-centered roles，such as hosting climate exhibits and serving as cooling centers during heatwaves.
8.What challenges do museums in the U.S.face？ ______
A. Difficulty in precious object collection.
B. Shortage of reliable information sources.
C. Lower popularity than Starbucks and McDonald's.
D. Serious environmental and sustainability challenges.
9.Why does the author mention these museums in paragraph 3？______
A. To give examples. B. To state causes.
C. To make comparisons. D. To explain concepts.
10.What does the underlined phrase "metaverse replica" in paragraph 4 refer to？______
A. Virtual copy. B. New museum. C. Art exhibition. D. Cooling center.
11.What can be inferred about the future role of museums in the passage？______
A. They will focus on climate justice.
B. They will lead in using digital data.
C. They will take public responsibilities.
D. They will be trusted information sources.
D
The image of left-handed people has come a long way in the last few decades.The majority of people no longer think that left-handers are bad，full of bad spirits.Today's lefties are seen in a much more positive light.We link left-handedness with intelligence，creative thinking，and artistic skills.But are these ideas supported by science？Does being left-handed really make you more creative？The answer is a definite…maybe.
Scientists have long studied left-handedness，which happens in about 10 percent of the population.They've looked into possible links to mental illness，weak immune systems，criminal behavior，problem-solving skills，and a higher risk of early death.From all these studies，we can only say one thing：science is complex and still unclear.
Some studies connect left-handedness to creativity，possibly because lefties constantly adjust to a right-handed world.Others find no such link at all.Some researchers argue lefties are no smarter than righties，while others insist left-handedness brings a clear intellectual edge.The existence of a unique left-handed personality and higher risks of schizophrenia （精神分裂症） or learning disabilities also remain strongly debated.
Recent studies suggest it is not which hand is leading that matters，but the degree of strength.Very few people are truly entirely left-or right-handed；it is more of a range.Those toward the middle，called inconsistent-handed people，are more flexible thinkers and better at seeing things from others' points of view.They focus more on risks in decisions，while those at the range's edges focus on benefits，and they may even sleep differently.
It seems our ideas have been aimed too far to the left.This field of science is ever-changing and constantly evolving.If you're a lefty who enjoys feeling superior，we won't tell you to tone it down.For all we know，you could be right.
12.How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph？______
A. By focusing on scientific studies.
B. By explaining the historical views.
C. By describing a scientific experiment.
D. By raising questions on common beliefs.
13.What is the possible relationship between left-handedness and intelligence？______
A. The connection is accepted as a proven fact.
B. Scientists have varying views on the connection.
C. Left-handed people are likely to be more intelligent.
D. Intelligence differences depend on social environment.
14.Which of the following statements agrees with recent studies？______
A. Middle-aged people are more flexible thinkers.
B. Left-handedness brings a clear intellectual edge.
C. Balanced-handed people understand others better.
D. Most people are entirely left-handed or right-handed.
15.What can be the best title for the text？______
A. Advantages of Being Left-Handed
B. Thinking Styles of Left-Handed People
C. The History of Left-handedness Studies
D. The Truth and Misunderstanding of Lefties

How Your Brain Stays Flexible and Smart
AI can do amazing things，like writing great texts and helping doctors find diseases.（1）______ .We can learn new software，try a new recipe or master a new game quickly，while AI struggles to learn in real time.A Princeton University study finds the secret：our brain uses "thinking Legos" — reusing and integrating basic thinking skills to build new abilities.
Scientists call this ability reusing skills.It means we use old skills to learn new ones without starting over.（2）______ .If you can bake bread，making a cake just means reusing skills like using an oven and measuring materials，then adding new steps like making frosting.This is why our brain is so flexible，a trick AI hasn't learned well yet.
The prefrontal cortex （前额叶） is the front part of the brain.It handles thinking and decision-making，and is the center of thinking blocks.It has repeated brain activity patterns.These patterns start when brain cells work together，such as telling red from green or a rabbit from a letter "T".（3）______ .For color judgment，it uses a color block and an eye-movement block.For shape judgment，it replaces the color block with a shape block.
（4）______ .It shuts off unused blocks to focus.Since our thinking power is limited，the prefrontal cortex quiets unrelated skills to avoid overload.When sorting shapes，it darkens the color-detecting part，keeping us focused on the task at hand.
This discovery matters a lot.It explains why we learn fast，while AI forgets old skills when learning new ones.It also helps medicine：some brain problems stop people from reusing skills，and studying thinking Legos can help create better cures.（5）______ .
A.The brain is also skilled at focusing
B.This is what the human brain needs to learn
C.The brain employs different blocks for different tasks
D.The brain uses and repeats the animal block and letter block
E.If you can fix a bike，learning to repair a motorcycle is easier
F.But when it comes to adapting to new things fast，the human brain is still better
G.In short，reusing and integrating thinking blocks is how the brain stays flexible and sharp

38. As part of our school's Green Living Week activity，our class decided to launch a community waste-sorting volunteer project，aiming to teach nearby residents how to sort rubbish correctly and build a cleaner，greener neighborhood.As the group leader，I made a detailed plan with my teammates — Lily and Tom，and we spent our spare time making colourful brochures with clear sorting guides，preparing vivid posters painted with lovely cartoon patterns and practising our speeches carefully until we could explain the rules fluently.We were filled with ambition and expected to win the Best Green Activity Award of the school，which would bring great honor to our class and inspire more people to live an eco-friendly life.
On the first day of the activity，we set up a stand decorated with green ribbons （丝带） in the busy community square.However，few residents stopped to listen to us；some even walked past quickly，their eyes glancing over our posters without any interest at all.Worse still，when we tried to explain waste sorting to an elderly lady passing by，she shook her head gently and said it was too troublesome to follow the complicated rules every day.Lily grew discouraged and lowered her head，suggesting we quit，while Tom grew impatient，raising his voice to blame the residents for their lack of environmental awareness.Tension rose quickly among our small group，and our green project，which we had prepared for weeks，seemed to fall apart at once.
Just as we were quarrelling and packing up our materials in disappointment，a sudden strong wind blew away all our carefully-made brochures and posters across the square.Some papers even fell into a dirty pool，getting wet and torn beyond repair.I stared at the messy scene，my throat tight with sorrow — our efforts for green living seemed to totally make no difference.At that moment，a middle-aged woman in a volunteer vest （马甲） walked towards us，holding a pile of neat paper and a roll of tape.

37.【答案】Dear Dr.Brown，
I'm Li Hua from Class 3.Recently，I've been struggling with concentration decline and inefficient memory during study，which significantly impedes my learning progress and makes me feel frustrated.
These issues arise especially when facing complex subjects or lengthy tasks，causing me to lose focus easily and forget key points.I wonder if there are effective strategies to enhance my attention span and memory retention.
I sincerely hope you can provide some practical advice to help me overcome these challenges.
Yours，
Li Hua
38.【答案】 The woman smiled gently and told us she was a full-time community green volunteer.She comforted us patiently and said many residents were too busy to stop by，instead of lacking environmental awareness.She shared practical tips with us，such as talking with residents in a warm tone and using simple daily examples to explain sorting rules.She also helped us tidy up the messy materials，cheering us up not to give up easily.Her kind words and useful experience swept away our disappointment.Lily and Tom calmed down immediately and apologized to each other for their bad moods.We regained our confidence and decided to try new ways to carry out our project.
Thanks to her guidance，we restarted our project with a brand-new attitude.We divided our work reasonably：I chatted warmly with passing residents，Lily showed easy-to-understand picture examples，and Tom helped sort rubbish on the spot.Gradually，more and more residents stopped to join us.The elderly lady even came back to learn carefully and promised to stick to waste sorting every day.Finally，our activity won wide praise in the community.Although we didn't focus on the award any longer，we truly realized real honor lies in practical green efforts and sincere teamwork to warm the neighborhood.
