As a postdoctoral researcher and then a faculty member, I was constantly caught between work and family. In 2025, a short-term Fulbright fellowship took me to Uruguay, where I thought there would be three months of intense lab work. I was depressed to learn that the bus to the institute ran on a schedule that limited our work hours to 8:00 am to 3:30 pm. Mornings started with shared tea and conversations about our weekends, followed later by an extended lunch break that was sacred (神圣的). I felt impatient.
I was still working long hours, but the built-in breaks, which often included an evening snack or walk on the street, made all the difference. I still got my work done, and the slower rhythm also left space for deeper thinking, both in my experiments and in my life. A calmness set in, and I found myself laughing more and sleeping better.
Midway through my fellowship, my family arrived for an extended visit, and I took 3 weeks off for a once-in-a-lifetime journey. We wandered through neighborhoods, stood in silence under a desert sky heavy with stars, and felt the thunder of waterfalls flooding us in mist. I began to notice my daughter’s fascination with seashells, and my son’s growing ease with strangers.
When my fellowship ended 8 months ago and I returned, I no longer treated evenings and weekends as time to catch up on unfinished work; instead, I reserved them for my family and myself. Blocking my calendar so that nobody can schedule a meeting during my off-hours and letting my lab members know when I’ll be available has worked wonders. I’ve built small rituals (仪式) into my routine, such as a morning walk, and a lunch break away from the screen.
These modest changes have reshaped the texture (质感) of my days. I find myself more focused in the lab, more patient with my students, and more present with my family. Productivity, I’ve realized, isn’t measured only by research papers and grants. It’s also sustained by presence, rest and the relationships that give meaning to the work.
24. How did the author initially feel about the work schedule in Uruguay
A．Disappointed.
B．Hopeless.
C．Satisfied.
D．Regretful.
25. What major change did the Uruguay experience bring to the author
A．Longer working hours.
B．Higher research productivity.
C．Better work-life balance.
D．Increased lab responsibilities.
26. What did the author do in his spare time after returning to his country
A．He often helped in neighborhoods.
B．He was busier with his research.
C．He travelled a lot with his family.
D．He spent more time relaxing.
27. What does the author want to emphasize in the last paragraph
A．A good career move.
B．A shift in life philosophy.
C．A new academic model.
D．A traditional work culture.

Agricultural waste that is usually burned or left to rot (腐烂) could play a far bigger role in tackling climate change if it were instead used in long-lasting building materials, according to new research from the University of East London.
Plants pull carbon from the air as they grow, but when plant waste burns or rots, that carbon returns to the atmosphere within months. But timing changes everything. Carbon released today heats the planet now, while carbon stored for years or decades delays that heat. The research looks at this timing closely. Instead of counting carbon in a single snapshot, it follows carbon over time. This approach shows that keeping plant fibers locked inside walls, panels or insulation (绝缘材料) can change the climate outcome in a lasting way.
Some crop residues (残渣) are already used in insulation and composite boards. When these materials sit inside buildings, the carbon they contain stays put for decades. The study finds that simply stopping the open burning of agricultural residues and redirecting them into long-lived building products could deliver a sustained cooling effect over the next century. The effect grows stronger when clean energy replaces any biomass energy that gets pushed aside.
While around 4.4 billion tons of agricultural residues are generated each year, only a small part is used in long-lived applications, with most being burned, used as animal feed, or left to rot. Even if the use of plant-based insulation grew quickly, it’d absorb only a small share of this material. The gap shows how finite current efforts are. Consequently, the research argues the construction industry needs to think bigger. Walls, floors, and panels made from plant fibers could move into the mainstream instead.
Dr Bamdad Ayati, who led the study, said the findings pointed to an overlooked climate opportunity hiding in plain sight. “Each year, large volumes of agricultural residues are burned or left to decompose, returning carbon to the atmosphere,” he said. “Our research shows that if these fibers are redirected into long-lived building materials, they can store carbon for decades and produce a measurable cooling effect.”
28. What probably plays a key role in the impacts of plant waste on the climate
A．Time of carbon release.
B．Ways of burning.
C．Places for storing carbon.
D．Speed of waste rot.
29. What will happen when crop residues become part of buildings
A．Less carbon will be produced.
B．Climate change will slow down.
C．The rooms will remain cool.
D．Clean energy will be pushed aside.
30. What does the underlined word “finite” in paragraph 4 mean
A．Significant.
B．Ineffective.
C．Urgent.
D．Limited.
31. What does Dr Ayati consider the agricultural residues to be
A．A temporary fix.
B．A growing threat.
C．A hidden treasure.
D．A complex problem.
D
For decades, the story of early humans in East Asia was described as a technological backwater, a place where ancient hominins (人类) clung to simple stone tools while innovation existed elsewhere. That story began to unfold at Xigou, located within the Danjiangkou Reservoir Region of central China, where layers of earth quietly preserved a different past. As stone after stone appeared from the ground here, it became clear that Xigou was evidence of a forgotten chapter in human intelligence, one that stretched back between 160,000 and 72,000 years ago.
The dig, led by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, revealed something amazing. Many tools were uncovered at Xigou and their shapes, sizes, and production methods spoke of deliberate planning and technical skill. Hominins at Xigou produced small flakes (薄片) and tools designed for a wide range of tasks, indicating a flexible approach to daily life. These weren’t one-purpose objects but tools born of experimentation and improvement, shaped to meet changing needs.
Among all the discoveries at Xigou, what stood out were hafted stone tools, which combined stone components with handles, transforming sharp pieces into more efficient and controllable instruments. Hafting isn’t a simple act but requires multiple steps. A stone blade must be shaped to fit a handle, and the handle must be prepared to hold it. Dr. Jian-Ping Yue, the study’s lead author, described these tools as clear evidence of behavioral flexibility and originality.
The site’s deposits (沉积物) span roughly 90,000 years, and across this vast stretch of time, hominins returned to the area again and again, leaving behind tools that chart an evolving relationship with their surroundings. As conditions shifted, the ability to improve tools, experiment with new techniques, and improve existing methods would have been essential. This reveals innovation as a steady process of adjustment and improvement.
In the quiet stones of central China, early hominins left behind a message that waited thousands of years to be understood. It says innovation was never rare and that the roots of human creativity run deeper and wider than we once believed.
32. What does the author probably want to say about hominins at Xigou
A．They lacked motivation for life.
B．They usually used stones passively.
C．They were active problem-solvers.
D．They were quite successful artists.
33. Why does the author mention Dr. Jian Ping Yue in paragraph 3
A．To describe stone tool-making steps.
B．To show the creativity of early humans.
C．To explain the challenge of the dig work.
D．To prove the difficulty of finding the tools.
34. What do Xigou’s deposits show according to paragraph 4
A．Long-term technological continuity.
B．Impacts of technological changes.
C．The poor surroundings of the area.
D．The increasing tool-making speed.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．Early Human Life in East Asia
B．Unearthing Stone Tools Recently
C．The Work at Danjiangkou Reservoir
D．Rethinking Early Human Innovation

While in many parts of the world Friday evenings involve going out-one country is reserving the start of the weekend for relaxation. 36 Instead of immediately preparing for a big evening out, many Swedes practice Fredagsmys, a comforting ritual that starts the weekend by slowing down at home. It’s all about creating space for closeness and ease after a long and busy workweek.
The word “Fredagsmys” combines fredag, meaning Friday in Swedish, and mys, a term that expresses coziness and warmth. 37 Enjoy games and perhaps share a pizza, all in a relaxed atmosphere that signals the workweek is over. Almost every Swede practices this at least once a month, showing their appreciation for balance in life.
38 Sweden’s long, cold, and dark winters naturally encourage indoor gatherings, and Fredagsmys offers a way to stay connected without requiring extra effort. “During cold and dark months, Fredagsmys is a way for us Swedes to stay connected with our loved ones even when we’re tired,” said relationship therapist Sofie Roos.
This tradition prioritizes feeling good over social status and productivity, a sign of Sweden’s emphasis on balancing work and rest. Placing importance on productivity may lead to burnout. Fredagsmys offers a kind of built-in pause, a weekly boundary that protects against such exhaustion. 39
At the end of a busy week, intentionally slowing down restores balance, strengthens relationships, and supports mental health. Perhaps Fredagsmys has spread across the world because it meets a shared need to relax and recharge. 40 Simply celebrate cozy simplicity and let this be enough!
A．The term first appeared in a newspaper in 1994.
B．Climate and lifestyle play a role in its attraction.
C．In Sweden, a typical Friday night follows a restful rhythm.
D．Begin this weekend by connecting with loved ones right at home.
E．Additionally, it can also positively affect mental health by reducing stress.
F．Without noise or crowds, people tend to be more present with one another.
G．Together, these words convey a relaxed Friday night spent at home on the sofa.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
There was a moment when I was deeply immersed (沉浸) in Chinese culture. 56 (live) in China for about two years, I had the chance to visit my wife’s hometown during the Chinese New Year. The family atmosphere 57 we all celebrated with shared food and joy was unlike anything I had experienced before. The festivities were vibrant (充满生机的), and I felt truly 58 (welcome) into their traditions. Impressed by that sense of 59 (together) and celebration, I was grateful to be part of it.
While that experience connected me to traditional Chinese culture, the daily culture of efficiency and innovation is equally striking. Previously, I had to exchange dollars for RMB, which often took quite some time in the bank, and then I would need to carry cash around 60 (purchase) things. However, once I set up my WeChat and Alipay 61 (account), everything changed: just scan and pay. The shift 62 cash payments to mobile payments in China really made life so much easier.
One of the most noticeable differences in daily life in China 63 (be) the unmatched convenience. Everything can be handled through apps, and services are 64 (unbelievable) fast. For example, if I need medicine at 4:00 am, I can order it, and it can be delivered to my door within 30minutes. Additionally, the safety aspect is also exceptional in my four years in China, I’ve always felt very safe. Anyway, I enjoy life in China, 65 I’m definitely here to stay.

I sank down in a chair at the end of the driveway, with our new home behind me. A folding table with snacks and drinks sat a few feet away. What if nobody showed up Upstate New York was different from my native South Africa. Maybe people thought it was strange for us to throw our own welcome party. Embarrassment began to set in.
The idea came to me the day we moved in June, a month earlier. With each basketball hoop (球框) and swing set passing, my excitement grew. Families! I could picture us all hanging out together-at last, a real community! “Let’s invite the neighbors to a get-to-know-you party!” I announced to my wife, Sarah, and our 11-year-old twins, Olivia and Holly, as we pulled into the driveway.
This longing for connection wasn’t new; it reminded me of my childhood in Cape Town. In Cape Town, where I grew up, our whole neighborhood would go outside in the evenings to socialize. There were no fences, no sense of where one family’s yard ended and another’s began. People set out long tables. What if I’d create a strong neighborhood, where neighbors could care about each other I wasn’t going to wait around for neighbors to reach out. That’s why I’d spoken out my idea right there. Sarah and the girls were all for it.
Now, a month later, that hope was about to be put to the test. Sarah rearranged bags of chips and popcorn in a basket she’d set out. “I hope we have enough,” she said. Olivia and Holly threw the beanbags to pass the time.
A week earlier, Sarah had designed the invitations: Hello! We’re new to the neighborhood-the Sprout Family. We’d love to meet you. Saturday, July 5, anytime between 6:00 and 8:00 pm. She and the girls had gone house to house, putting an invitation in each of the 12 other mailboxes on Whitney Drive, including The Hernandezs and the Browns. But we hadn’t heard a word since.
I checked my watch: 6:10. Maybe I’d misjudged.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Just then, down the street something caught my eye.

Just then, down the street something caught my eye. A figure was walking towards us, and soon more neighbors appeared one after another. My family and I immediately stood up and greeted them warmly. Some brought small gifts, while others chatted casually with us. The nervousness in my heart gradually disappeared, replaced by joy. Snacks and drinks were shared, and laughter filled the yard.
As the evening unfolded, I watched our neighbors chatting over drinks. They talked about daily life and shared interesting stories. We got along really well and built a close bond. This party helped us fit into the new neighborhood quickly. I felt the same warm sense of belonging as I did back in South Africa. I knew a friendly community had taken root here.
