When a powerful snowstorm buried parts of the Wildwood Zoo under more than two feet of snow, a dedicated staff member refused to leave his post. Kyle Kirk, the zoo’s manager in Marshfield, Wisconsin, spent three straight nights at the facility, making sure every animal — across all 27 species — was safe and cared for during the extreme weather.
“This is the most snow I think I’ve ever seen in my whole life,” said Kirk, describing the intensity of the storm. At one point, conditions were so severe that he was completely trapped inside the staff building. “There was a solid hour that I really couldn’t help anybody because I was completely trapped by snow.”
But as soon as he was able to get outside, Kirk got to work. He began digging out smaller animals that had been buried under the snow, including quail, prairie dogs, and skunks (臭鼬). “I was able to dig them out. Our skunks were completely snowed in,” he said. Despite the serious situation, there was even a moment of humor. “It was hilarious because I think our skunks thought that I brought the snow. They were stomping (跺脚) angrily as if to say, ‘Oh, you can take away the snow now.’“
Kirk carved pathways through enclosures (围场) so animals like porcupines and skunks could move around again, and he made sure foxes — who had already shed their winter coats — were warm enough to handle the sudden freeze. Meanwhile, some of the zoo’s larger residents took the storm calmly. The Kodiak bears hung around comfortably, and the lynx seemed right at home in the deep snow.
For Kirk, staying through the storm wasn’t a question — it was part of the job. “A lot of other people can call in sick or get snowed in, but simply, I can’t,” he said. “There’s really no reason to have these animals if we’re not going to care for them in the best possible way.”
24. Why did Kirk spend three nights continuously in the zoo
A. To wait for the rescue team.
B. To ensure the safety of the animals.
C. To repair the damaged staff building.
D. To study the behavior of the animals.
25. What does the underlined word “hilarious” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Amusing. B. Confusing. C. Frightening. D. Embarrassing.
26. What kind of picture does paragraph 4 describe
A. Animals’ fear and Kirk’s worry.
B. Kirk’s loneliness and animals’ anger.
C. Kirk’s efforts and animals’ reaction.
D. The storm’s damage and animals’ suffering.
27. What do Kirk’s words in the last paragraph highlight
A. Harmony. B. Confidence. C. Responsibility. D. Reputation.

Scientists looking to tackle our ongoing obesity crisis have made an important discovery: Intermittent (间歇的) calorie restriction leads to significant changes both in the gut (肠道) and the brain, which may open up new options for maintaining a healthy weight.
Researchers from China studied 25 volunteers classed as obese over a period of 62 days, during which they took part in an intermittent energy restriction (IER) program, a method that involves careful control of calorie intake and eating little or no food on some days. Not only did the participants in the study lose weight — 7.6 kilograms or 7.8 percent of their body weight on average — but there was evidence of shifts in the activity of obesity-related regions of the brain, and in the makeup of gut bacteria (细菌).
It’s not clear what causes these changes, or whether the gut is influencing the brain or the brain is influencing the gut. However, we do know that the gut and the brain are closely linked, so treating certain regions of the brain could be a way to control food intake.
The changes in brain activity were in regions known to be important in the regulation of appetite and addiction — including the inferior frontal orbital gyrus. What’s more, the gut microbiome (微生物组) changes were linked to particular brain regions.
More than a billion people worldwide are estimated to have obesity, which leads to an increased risk for a host of different health issues, from cancer to heart disease. Knowing more about how our brains and guts are dependent on each other could make a huge difference in effectively preventing and reducing obesity.
“The next question to be answered is the precise mechanism by which the gut microbiome and the brain communicate in obese people, including those who are losing weight,” said Wang, a biomedical scientist from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. “What specific gut microbiome and brain regions are critical for successful weight loss and maintaining a healthy weight ”
28. What does the study find about intermittent calorie restriction
A. It influences brain microbiome. B. It affects both the gut and the brain.
C. It works mainly by reducing appetite. D. It effectively reduces the gut bacteria.
29. What did the 62-day study reveal regarding the participants
A. They ate little food on most days.
B. Their brain and gut activities changed.
C. Their calorie intake increased greatly.
D. They lost over 8% of their body weight.
30. What is Wang’s statement about
A. The choice of new research methods.
B. The need to involve more researchers.
C. The potential application of the findings.
D. The possible direction for further study.
31. Which can be the best title for the text
A. The New Discovery Will Help End Obesity
B. The Gut-Brain Link May Aid Weight Control
C. The Gut-Brain Link May Reveal a Secret of Fat
D. The Gut Microbiome Will Have a Hidden Effect
D
Scientists say bears in southern Greenland differ genetically from those in the north, suggesting they could adjust. Changes in polar bear DNA that could help the animals adapt to warmer climates have been detected by researchers in a study.
Climate breakdown is threatening the survival of polar bears. Two-thirds of them are expected to have disappeared by 2050 as their icy habitat melts and the weather becomes hotter. Now scientists at the University of East Anglia have found that some genes related to heat stress, ageing, and metabolism (新陈代谢) are behaving differently in polar bears living in southeast Greenland, suggesting they may be adjusting to warmer conditions.
The researchers analyzed blood samples taken from polar bears in two regions of Greenland and compared “jumping genes”: small and mobile pieces of the genome that can influence how other genes work. By comparing these bears’ active genes with local climate data, they found that rising temperatures appear to be driving a dramatic increase in the activity of “jumping genes” within the southeast Greenland bears’ DNA. These changes could help us figure out how polar bears may survive in a warming world, inform the understanding of which populations are most at risk, and guide future conservation efforts.
This finding shows, for the first time, that a unique group of polar bears in the warmest part of Greenland are using “jumping genes” to rapidly rewrite their own DNA, which is likely a desperate temporary survival mechanism (机制) against melting sea ice. Some interesting DNA changes occurred in areas linked to fat processing, which could help polar bears survive when food was scarce. Bears in warmer regions had more rough, plant-based diets compared with the fatty, seal-based diets of northern bears, and the DNA of southeast bears seemed to be adapting to this.
The following step will be to look at other polar bear populations to see if similar changes are happening to their DNA. This research could help protect the bears from extinction. But the scientists said it was crucial to stop temperature rises accelerating by reducing the burning of fossil fuels.
32. What did scientists discover about polar bears in southern Greenland
A. They are moving north to escape heat.
B. They outnumber the bears in northern regions.
C. Their survival genes are dramatically disappearing.
D. Their genes reflect adaptation to warmer climates.
33. Why did researchers study “jumping genes” in polar bears
A. To compare their diets across different climates.
B. To measure their blood health in cold environments.
C. To understand how climate affects their gene activity.
D. To track how they migrate between the two regions.
34. What can be inferred about the DNA changes in southeast Greenland bears
A. They occur in two-thirds of the bears.
B. They ensure the permanent survival of the bears.
C. They prove the full climate adaptation of the bears.
D. They may be short-term stress responses of the bears.
35. What will researchers most likely explore next
A. Conservation plans based on the genetic findings.
B. Historical DNA changes in polar bears.
C. Dietary details of Greenland bears.
D. Global efforts to cut fossil fuels.

When we think about cultural heritage preservation, it’s not just about keeping old buildings standing. It is a joint effort to protect the story of our history and identity. Think of it like a quilt; Each patch represents a piece of our past. 36 Around the world, effective strategies help keep our shared heritage safe for future generations.
Community and education. When people feel connected to their cultural landmarks, they’re more likely to protect them with their own hands and hearts. 37 Meanwhile, education empowers younger generations to become future protectors. For example, schools in South Africa that teach children about their historical roots have led to more community-led initiatives.
38 Modern tools are changing the way we protect heritage. 3D laser scanning allows archaeologists to record sites in great detail, as seen in Jordan’s ancient city of Petra. This helps create digital copies of fragile structures. Meanwhile, sustainable tourism makes sure that visitors don’t harm the heritage they come to see. A recent study found that 60% of tourists are willing to pay more to support sustainable practices.
Laws and partnerships. Strong rules matter. Greece has strict laws with heavy fines to protect sites and stop illegal digging. Also, partnerships between local governments and non-governmental organizations help improve conservation efforts by sharing resources and knowledge. The partnership between Indonesia and the Global Heritage Fund to restore Borobudur’s ancient temples has protected the site. 39
Adaptive reuse. This creative approach gives old buildings a new purpose while keeping
their historical value. The High Line in New York City, an abandoned railway turned into a lively public park, keeps its historical value while serving today’s city life. 40 They show that preservation and progress can go hand in hand. Many other cities are now following this example, turning old factories into museums or ancient warehouses into community centers.
A. Science and practice.
B. Technology and tourism.
C. Losing any of them means losing part of the story.
D. This will offer people more chances to know themselves.
E. In Italy, residents of Pompeii regularly volunteer for restoration projects.
F. Such a method supports both cultural appreciation and urban development.
G. Besides, it boosted local economies through tourism, creating jobs for nearby villagers.

We’re all on a never-ending pursuit of good sleep. There are many theories, so it is easy to 41 yourself in a maze (迷宫) of advice and techniques. But one trick I found 42 all my needs: Read for just six minutes before you go to sleep. This 43 trick has both improved my sleep and put an end to my reading slump (下降期).
The University of Sussex once conducted 44 which found reading a book reduced stress levels by 68%, doing better than other activities like going for a walk. Dr David Lewis explained that this is because sustained reading is more than a(n) 45 and offers the chance to be engaged in the authors’ imagination and enter a changed state of consciousness (意识) that 46 the brain.
Six minutes sounds easy, so I’ve 47 it as my pre-sleep routine. The theory has proved itself for me. I read for much longer, 48 reducing the large pile of books on my bedside table. Since I’ve 49 this habit, I feel bad in the morning if I don’t read a few 50 the night before.
With so many of us 51 through a screen before bed out of habit, the best thing about this 52 is that anyone can do six minutes. After fighting off tiredness, the 53 is rediscovering the escapism and inspiration reading gives us. When we hit a reading 54 , maybe we don’t always need an exciting book to get back into books. Maybe all we need is a 55 .
41. A. show B. hide C. find D. help

Originating in the Tang Dynasty, shuyuan were unique Chinese institutes combining education, libraries, ritual observance and scholarly debate. By the Song Dynasty, they had become China’s primary intellectual centers, in 56 scholars often engaged in critical reflection, rigorous exchanges and debates.
Chinese shuyuan wisdom began resonating (共鸣)with the West during the Ming Dynasty when an Italian visited the Yuzhang Academy in Nanchang 57 enjoyed the company of Zhang Huang, then head of the famous Bailudong Academy. He studied the Confucian classics under Zhang’s guidance, while Zhang incorporated Western 58 (geography) knowledge into his own work, featuring mutual respect and interaction.
This spirit of dialogue 59 (live) on to this day. In October 2025, nearly 200 scholars from 51 countries and regions gathered at the Kaoting Academy in Fujian Province for the Conference on Zhu Xi’s Philosophy and Dialogue of Global Civilization, to explore how the late Chinese philosopher Zhu Xi’s thoughts could offer insights for 60 (resolve) civilizational clashes.
In the contemporary era, academies are again serving 61 platforms for civilizational dialogue. The Nishan Forum on World Civilizations in Shandong Province uses the culture of the academies 62 (connect) global scholars, while Bailudong Academy’s lectures reach a global audience via live streams.
63 (this) exchange practices centered on academies enable Chinese culture to 64 (continuous) absorb nutrients, develop and innovate through dialogue with diverse civilizations around the world. At the same time, they allow the world to gain a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of China through the window of ancient educational 65 (institution).

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 want every high school student to know: You don’t have to be perfect. You don’t have to join in many extracurricular activities or get perfect test scores. What matters is that you work hard, believe in yourself, and let your true self shine. I was once a girl who doubted whether I could ever get into Harvard University, but with hard work and a little faith, I made it. And so can you.
In high school, such a belief felt out of reach to me. Those days were full of self-doubt. I would spend hours watching videos of students online talking about their perfect extracurricular activities — ten clubs, volunteer work abroad, internships at big companies — and compare myself to them. I only had a few after-school activities: attending the book club, tutoring younger students in math, and playing on the girls’ soccer team. My test scores were good, but not perfect. Every time I saw those “perfect” numbers online, I felt like I was falling behind, and I even thought about giving up my dream of going to a top university.
Everything changed the day my teacher, Cathy, pulled me aside. She noticed I was feeling down and asked me what was troubling me. I told her about my doubts, the numbers and activities that made me feel inadequate (缺乏信心的). She smiled and handed me a brochure about Harvard’s admissions process. “Ana,” she said gently, “colleges like Harvard don’t just look at numbers. They look at the whole person — your struggles, your efforts, your growth, and the opportunities you’ve had. You don’t have to be perfect; you just have to be yourself.” Those words hit me like a ray of light. For the first time, I realized that my background, my hard work, and my unique story were not weaknesses — they were part of who I was, and they mattered.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
From that day on, I stopped comparing myself to others and focused on doing my best. When applying to colleges, I hesitated before adding Harvard.

How AI Will Change Our Lives
With the rapid development of AI, our daily lives are expected to change greatly in the near future.
First, AI will bring convenience to many areas of our lives. In transportation, self-driving cars can make travel safer and easier by reducing human errors. In healthcare, AI helps doctors diagnose diseases more quickly and accurately. In education, it can create personal learning plans for students based on their individual needs.
In my opinion, AI is a powerful tool that should serve us rather than replace us. Although it may take over some jobs, it will also create new opportunities and industries. We should embrace AI wisely and prepare ourselves for a smarter and more efficient future.

参考范文:
From that day on, I stopped comparing myself to others and focused on doing my best. I threw myself into the activities I loved: leading book club discussions, spending more time tutoring students who needed help, and even organizing a small fundraiser for a local children’s shelter with my soccer team. It wasn’t always easy — there were nights when I stayed up late studying for exams, weekends I spent volunteering instead of hanging out with friends, and moments when I still felt like giving up. But whenever I felt discouraged, I thought of Cathy’s words.
When applying to colleges, I hesitated before adding Harvard. My hands trembled as I clicked “submit” on my application. I told myself that even if I didn’t get in, I was proud of how hard I had worked. Weeks later, when I received the acceptance letter in the mail, I couldn’t believe my eyes. What made it even more amazing was that Harvard offered me a full scholarship through their need-based financial aid programs — all because of the hard work I had put in during high school.
