Dr. Jane Goodall, a world-renowned ethologist, conservationist, and activist, dedicated her life to fostering a deeper understanding of the natural world.
From earliest childhood, Jane’s mother encouraged her fascination with animals. One of her most beloved companions was a stuffed toy chimpanzee, named Jubilee. In what her mother referred to as “Jane’s first animal research program,” she found Jane in bed with a handful of earthworms, trying to understand how they could possibly move without legs. Young Jane immersed herself in books about wild animals and dreamed of a life alongside African wildlife like Tarzan and Dr. Dolittle.
At the young age of 23, after having spent the past few years as a waitress and secretary, she finally found a way to make her dream a reality. She eagerly accepted a schoolmate’s invitation to the family farm in Kenya in 1957 and later ventured into what was then called the Gombe Stream Chimpanzee Reserve—embarking on a journey that would redefine the relationship between humans and other animals.
Taking an unorthodox approach, she immersed herself in the chimpanzee’s habitat. After months of trying to gain their trust, she was able to experience their complex society as a neighbour, rather than a distant observer. She then further departed from scientific convention by giving them names instead of numbers. She came to understand them not only as a species, but as individuals with personalities, complex minds, emotions, and long-term bonds. One day, in October 1960, she saw the chimpanzee she named David Greybeard use grass stems to fashion tools for fishing insects from their nest. Up until that enlightening moment, mainstream scientists thought humans were the only species to make and use tools, having defined us as “Man the Toolmaker.” Her insights rocked the scientific world.
In 1977, she founded the Jane Goodall Institute, spreading her conservation vision around the world. Recognised as a global icon, Jane was the author of several books that have engaged an international readership and the recipient of numerous honours. Goodall passed away on October 1, 2025, aged 91. Her words, “Every individual has a role to play. Every individual makes a difference,” continue to inspire millions to protect our planet.
24. What does the author intend to show by mentioning the earthworms
A. Goodall’s early curiosity about animals. B. The hardship of Goodall’s childhood.
C. Goodall’s mother’s teaching methods. D. The types of animals Goodall studied.
25. What does the underlined word “unorthodox” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Traditional. B. Innovative. C. Disrespectful. D. Scientific.
26. Why did Jane Goodall’s discovery about David Greybeard shock the scientific world
A. It documented the hunting techniques of chimpanzees.
B. It proved chimpanzees could communicate with humans.
C. It challenged a long-held belief about human uniqueness.
D. It revealed the emotional bonds within chimpanzee families.
27. What message does Jane Goodall’s life story convey
A. Dream big, achieve big. B. Still waters run deep.
C. More haste, less speed. D. Practice makes perfect.
C
The age of pre-sorting mixed plastic waste may soon be over. The secret weapon is a cheap catalyst (催化剂) targeting the most problematic plastic. The findings are detailed in a study published in the journal Nature Chemistry.
Even after decades of worldwide efforts, recycling plastic remains much easier said than done. The frustrating reality is largely thanks to polyolefins (聚烯烃). Humans make about 220 million tons of polyolefin-based products every year, most of which are single-use items like milk bottles, trash bags, and juice boxes.
However, less than 10 percent of polyolefin products are recycled annually, resulting in mountains of waste destined for landfills or being burnt. That’s because while other plastics are typically broken down with catalysts, breaking down polyolefin is difficult due to its tough carbon-carbon molecular bonds (分子键). “Polyolefins don’t have any weak links. Every bond is incredibly strong and chemically unreactive,” said Yosi Kratish, a chemist at Northwestern University.
Meanwhile, burning polyolefins requires temperatures as high as 700℃. “Everything can be burned, of course,” said Kratish. “But we wanted to find an elegant way to add the minimum amount of energy to obtain the maximum value product.” A potential solution combining hydrogen gas and a catalyst can deconstruct polyolefin plastic into useful hydrocarbons, but the process also involves high temperatures and expensive catalysts. But Kratish’s team found a workaround.
Unlike rare metals, engineers discovered that an alternative called cationic nickel (阳离子镍) is cheap and easy to collect. Other nickel-based catalysts include multiple reaction sites. Cationic nickel’s single-site variant allows it to function more like a precise sharp knife. Instead of breaking down all of a plastic’s structure, this option specifically targets those carbon-carbon bonds at a much lower temperature and with half the hydrogen gas pressure.
“That is amazing. It’s definitely not something anybody expected” Kratish said. If proven to be scalable (可规模化) and efficient, the new catalyst could largely cut down the need for plastic pre-sorting while also reducing the amount of microplastics released into the environment every day.
28. Recycling polyolefin remains difficult due to its ________.
A. industrial value B. practical application C. chemical structure D. environmental impact
29. What does “an elegant way” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. Combining hydrogen gas with cationic nickel. B. Deconstructing polyolefins into hydrocarbons.
C. Burning polyolefins at a high temperature. D. Breaking down all of a plastic’s structure.
30. What is the advantage of cationic nickel over other catalysts
A. It avoids many steps of processing. B. It operates effectively at a lower cost.
C. It breaks down all types of plastic. D. It produces higher quality end products.
31. What is the passage mainly about
A. The challenge of recycling polyolefins. B. The process of breaking carbon bonds.
C. A basic theory of applying catalysts. D. A new method of recycling polyolefins.
D
In August, deep in the forests of Motuo county in the Xizang autonomous region, a plant unlike any seen before was found growing in a crack between mountain rocks. With its delicate white flowers and a structure never previously documented, the species — later confirmed as a new genus (属) named Paramicrotoena X. X. Wu &. Qiang Wang — marked a breakthrough in Himalayan biodiversity studies.
The discovery was made by Wu Xuexue, a PhD candidate at the Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and one of a growing number of young scientists conducting frontline studies in Xizang.
Xizang has now become a center of ecological research. With the support of national biodiversity protection strategies — including the establishment of 47 nature reserves and the founding of its first gene bank — the region offers fertile ground for scientific exploration. Wu’s journey into the mountains of Xizang began with the Flora of the Pan-Himalaya project, an international botanical initiative led by her instructor, Wang Qiang, a senior plant expert. “Every plant in Xizang tells a story of survival,” Wu said. “Through research, I wanted to understand how they adapt to such a severe environment — and how we can protect them.”
Her discovery of Paramicrotoena X. X. Wu &. Qiang Wang was no mere luck. Wu and her team went through thick undergrowth near Beibeng Mountain, where fog rolled in from the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon. At around 800 meters above sea level, she spotted several small labiates in a narrow wet rock crack. The flowers seemed ordinary, almost unremarkable. But Wu’s inner voice told her otherwise. That evening, she photographed the flowers’ key features and sent the images to Wang. “The moment I saw them, I knew this was extraordinary,” Wang recalled.
Wu and her team represent a new generation of scientists devoted to uncovering Xizang’s natural wealth. “Their work is more than academic — it strengthens China’s role in global biodiversity conservation and inspires young people to shoulder responsibility for the nation’s ecological future,” Wang said.
32. Which word best describes the discovery of the new species
A. Predictable. B. Unconfirmed. C. Exceptional. D. Controversial.
33. What did Wu mainly express about studying the plants in paragraph 3
A. Its origin. B. Its purpose. C. Its difficulty. D. Its strategy.
34. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about the newfound plant
A. Its physical features. B. Its research background.
C. Its living environment. D. Its identification process.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Survival Stories of Himalayan Plants
B. Scientific Training in Botanical Research
C. China Is Devoted to Environmental Conservation
D. A Young Scientist Discovers a New Genus in Xizang

I was doing my regular hike up Shadow Mountain when I encountered something unexpected. Near the top, a white dog was hiding behind the rocks.
When I approached, it barked and tried to get away, but one of its front legs was injured. We were high on a ridge (山脊), and every time I moved closer, the dog put itself more in danger. I couldn’t get close without putting both of us at risk. The ground was muddy underneath the loose rocks from recent rainfall, with almost no stable footing. I called my wife for help. It was getting dark, and this dog wasn’t going to make it.
I reached out to Non-emergency and Animal Control, but nobody could offer immediate assistance. Meanwhile, my wife searched online and discovered a social media post about a missing white dog that had been lost five days earlier, nearly four miles away. It had to be the same one.
Eventually, I called 911. As I waited for the police to call me back with a plan, the dog panicked again, sliding down the ravine (峡谷) twice. I knew I had to take action, so I carefully positioned myself down the ravine under the dog’s location, trying to prevent it sliding farther down the slope (斜坡) . My phone battery was down to three percent, so I didn’t call. Instead, I used my flashlight to signal my location.
After some time, several mountain rescue teams began climbing the mountain. When one rescuer finally got within shouting distance, he told me it was too dangerous to come down to me, and that a helicopter was coming. “You would need to hold onto the dog,” he said loudly to me.
The surface we were on was unstable, and the ground offered no real footing. The dog shook violently and it seemed that it was about to slide again.
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。
I approached the dog carefully and threw my left arm around it.

【答案】I Like Travelling
Travelling is a good way to broaden my horizons.
This summer, my parents and I went to Hangzhou. It is a beautiful city, attracting lots of visitors from home and aboard. Not only did we visit the West Lake, but we also learned more about its folklores and traditional cultures. Besides, we were impressed by the special snacks. Visitors all think highly of them.
The beautiful scenery of Hangzhou is really a feast for the eyes and its long history has impressed me so much. It is well worth visiting.
【答案】例文
I approached the dog carefully and threw my left arm around it. Surprisingly, it pressed its head into my arm. To support us, I clung to a small tree root sticking out of the ground above me. I got a cramp in my leg as I grasped for footing, unable to hear instructions over the noise of the helicopter overhead. We had slid probably four feet from where we started and I continued to push rocks down as I tried to keep my footing. I knew I couldn’t stay and wait for help there any longer. Instead, I needed to do something.
Holding the dog under my arm, I struggled to climb my way back. There, rescue crews met me and placed the dog into a basket. Together, we made our way to safety. At the base, a small crowd had gathered, including my wife and the dog’s owner, whom the police had contacted. The dog limped happily into its owner’s arms, his tail wagging, exhausted but alive. My wife hugged me, we walking quietly back home. The night had been terrifying, exhausting, and emotional, but thanks to a lot of luck and help, it was a story with a happy ending.
