Esther Kimani, a pioneer in agritech, is changing the lives of farmers across Africa. As the founder of Farmer Lifeline Technologies (FLT), she has applied artificial intelligence (AI) to fight against crop pests (害虫) and diseases, significantly reducing losses for rural farmers.
Kimani’s journey began in a small Kenyan village on the Aberdare Mountains. Witnessing first-hand the severe impact of pests and diseases on their crops — and consequently, their income — she understood early how agricultural losses could mean unmet basic needs like school fees and healthcare. Despite these challenges, Kimani became the first girl from her village to attend university, studying computer science. It was there that she recognized the potential of technology to solve rural farmers’ struggles, and that’s how FLT was born.
In Kenya alone, 7.5 million smallholder farmers lose up to 50% of their yields (产量) to pests and diseases annually — losses that could feed millions. Traditional solutions like hiring agricultural consultants or using drones (无人机) are too expensive. To solve this critical issue, she developed an AI-powered camera, which is set up on farms at no upfront cost. It scans crops continuously and warns farmers through Short Message Service (SMS) when pests or diseases are detected.
A key focus for Kimani is supporting women farmers, who make up 43% of the agricultural labor force in developing nations, but who often lack access to technology. “Men in rural communities tend to have smartphones, while women rely on basic feature phones,” she notes. “Through SMS, we ensure women aren’t left behind.”
Kimani’s innovation has already impacted thousands of farmers, 78% of whom have reported a yield increase of over 36%. Her team aims to reach 200 thousand farms across the country within 5 years. For Kimani, success in 2030 means seeing 200 thousand smallholder farmers living with dignity — affording education, healthcare, and financial stability through improved yields. Kimani is not just building a company; she’s reshaping the future of African agriculture.
24. Why did Kimani establish FLT
A．To fund rural farmers.
B．To expand AI industry.
C．To decrease crop losses.
D．To research crop varieties.
25. How does the AI camera assist farmers
A．By linking them to consultants.
B．By sending them early warnings.
C．By using drones to monitor crops.
D．By driving pests away automatically.
26. What is an advantage of Kimani’s innovation
A．Equal accessibility.
B．Easy maintenance.
C．Enormous food storage.
D．Personalized service.
27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．Financial plans affect agriculture.
B．Kimani will afford further education.
C．African agriculture will emerge as a leader.
D．Kimani’s creativity fuels a promising future.
C
In the heartland of Japan, where endless green rice fields paint the landscape like a living blanket, a remarkable form of artistry has emerged — rice paddy art, a practice that transforms ordinary farmland into colourful artworks. While children and adults alike are delighted by the surprisingly complex images, one might wonder: what makes the art a reality
The secret lies in the rice shoots (秧苗). As the plants of different varieties grow, each type progressively turns a different colour ranging from shades of green to purple or gold — to bring an artwork to life. These colorful blocks and lines in fields form vivid designs: towering mountains, lovely animals, and even famous characters from movies and cartoons, which are easily recognizable from high places.
The tradition of the paddy art can trace back to just three decades ago in Inakadate, a small Japanese village where rice has been grown for over 2,000 years. The locals got the idea from the sight of children’s multi-colored paintings of rice paddies, then transformed the concept and experimented with it in rice planting. Their efforts paid off. The paddy fields became tourist attractions, greatly boosting the local economy.
Creating such art is no simple task. It begins with thorough planning: artists draft detailed blueprints, mapping out exactly the location for each rice variety. Farmers and volunteers then work side by side, carefully planting rice shoots in accordance with the plan. Over months, the fields demand constant care — weeding, watering, and protecting the crops.
While Inakadate remains the birthplace of rice paddy art, it now extends widely across Japan. The practice is also becoming all the rage in other countries. In Thailand, one man even arranged for a custom piece of art that spelt out a message asking his girlfriend to marry him.
Beyond serving as a striking visual display, the paddy art symbolizes harmony between tradition and innovation. It invites families to experience the beauty of farming, supports rural communities through tourism, and proves that even the ancient practice can adapt to modern creativity — all while keeping nature at its core.
28. What is special about the rice shoots
A．Their colours vary with growth.
B．They grow better at high places.
C．They are created by famous artists.
D．Their designs are meant for movies.
29. What can we infer about creating the paddy art from paragraph 4
A．It is cost-effective.
B．It is time-saving.
C．It is weather-dependent.
D．It is cooperation-based.
30. What does the underlined phrase “becoming all the rage” in paragraph 5 mean
A．Gaining popularity.
B．Making profits.
C．Celebrating traditions.
D．Boosting confidence.
31. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A．More Harmonious, More Artistic
B．When Rice Grows with Artistry
C．How Tourism Affects Rice Growing
D．Modern Tech, Modern Farming
D
“Humans have around 20,000 protein-coding genes, but little is known about how those protein molecules (分子) organize and interact,” says Trey Ideker, a professor of medicine at the University of California San Diego. Without that knowledge, trying to study and treat disease is “like trying to understand how to fix your car without the repair guide”.
In an April 2025 study in Nature, Ideker and his team presented their latest attempt to fill this information gap: a map of a human cell, showing the locations of more than 5,000 proteins organized into 275 smaller and smaller structures. The map goes far beyond the simplified diagrams you may recall from high school biology class.
The team achieved this level of detail by taking a “multimodal” approach. First, to figure out which proteins interact inside our cells, the researchers lined a tube with a particular protein, called the “bait (诱饵)” protein. Then, they poured a blended mixture of other proteins through the tube to see which ones would stick together, showing an interaction. Next, to locate these proteins precisely, they lit up individual molecules inside a cell using glowing antibodies. These antibodies stick to specific substances. Once the antibodies found their target, the lighted protein was visualized under a microscope and placed on the map.
There are many human cell types, and the one Ideker’s team chose to map is called the U2OS cell. It is commonly associated with childhood bone cancer. Indeed, the researchers identified more than 100 new mutated (突变) proteins that are linked to childhood cancer, helping reveal how the disease develops. Better yet, they located those proteins within the cell. Typically, cancer research is focused on individual mutations, but by placing them in context, the map provides a look at the larger structures that individual mutations affect.
“The U2OS cell took more than three years to chart, but technology and methodological improvements could speed up the mapping of other cells in the future,” Ideker adds. “Our goal is ’to really scale it up’ and reveal the subcellular architecture beneath all sorts of diseases.”
32. What is stressed by using the metaphor in paragraph 1
A．The diversity of genes.
B．The severity of disease.
C．The necessity of car maintenance.
D．The significance of cell mapping.
33. What is the function of the glowing antibodies in the study
A．Making the tube easily visible.
B．Breaking down unwanted proteins.
C．Identifying the location of the proteins.
D．Speeding up the interaction of the proteins.
34. What sets Ideker’s research apart from traditional cancer research
A．It names a new cell U2OS.
B．It prioritizes new mutated proteins.
C．It centers on individual cells.
D．It contextualizes mutations within cells.
35. What is Ideker’s attitude towards the future research
A．Cautious.
B．Optimistic.
C．Unconcerned.
D．Doubtful.
第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Adults should be getting at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity (中等强度) exercise every week, according to the Physical Activity Guidelines published recently. The guidelines advise adults to do muscle-strengthening activities of moderate or greater intensity at least twice per week. ___36___
“Engaging in a variety of exercises is definitely beneficial,” Voos, who is head team doctor for a football team, said. “Your body needs different ranges of motion, strength and stability. ___37___ ”
This is especially true for children. Sports medicine experts have long encouraged kids to play multiple sports and not to specialize in one at a young age. A lot of data on the topic shows children who specialize in a sport when young have an increased risk of injury. ___38___ They are less bored with exercise and enjoy greater sports achievements when they are older.
___39___ Voos said football players at training camp might do a lot of conditioning one day, then work on flexibility and balance the next, then move onto strength training, all of which is intermixed with playing football. “So even at the highest levels, our athletes are exposing their bodies to different motions,” Voos said.
Another plus to shaking things up with your exercise routine, especially if you prefer one activity, is that it helps prevent the plateau (高原) effect. ___40___ That’s because your body has become very efficient at the movements. To overcome such pauses, you need to change your movement routine and stimulate your body in different ways.
While changing up your exercise is important for many reasons, experts don’t have specific recommendations for how many different exercises you need to do each week or month to achieve the most benefit. But it’s important to work all of your muscle groups each week, if possible, to strengthen them all.
A．However, the children who don’t specialize tend to be healthier.
B．This is a period of time when progress in your favored sport stops.
C．They also note that varying your exercises can prevent overuse injuries.
D．But adults and even professional athletes need to vary their routines, too.
E．Cross-training lets your body see all of those different movements each week.
F．So they say even simple exercises done at work or home are beneficial, too.
G．Those who have the largest amount in their physical activity live the longest.

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。
This summer took an unexpected turn when my friend, Liam, asked me to attend Mrs Finch’s first aid class in the community. Mrs Finch, our retired nurse neighbor, would spend her time in her garage-turned-classroom every Saturday morning. “Helping others is a skill everyone should have,” she’d say warmly. This free workshop was her way of giving back, and she ran it with quiet passion. I practiced pushing down on the plastic model, while Liam learned how to give clear directions to 911 operators. She believed that preparation could turn anyone into a lifesaver — even two teenagers like us.
She often reminded us that emergencies didn’t check our age or experience. “They can happen to anyone and anywhere — yes, even to an old nurse like me,” she’d smile, pointing to the park during our ride home. Liam and I nodded, but deep down, we thought we were learning to help strangers someday, not someone we knew well.
That “someday” came much sooner than expected. One Saturday, right after class ended, Mrs Finch was putting away the training device when she suddenly went quiet. Her face lost all color. The coffee cup she was holding dropped on the concrete floor. She leaned against the wall, one hand pressed tightly against her chest. “Boys...” she managed to whisper, before slowly sliding down to the floor.
For a moment, Liam and I just stood there, frozen in shock. Our teacher — the one who taught us how to save lives — was now lying helpless on the ground. Suddenly, I remembered her mentioning that she had a heart condition. Her words rushed back to me: “When someone collapses, do not panic, but act immediately.” I saw Liam’s eyes widen with the same realization. We looked at each other, knowing what we had to do. The most important lesson was about to begin — not on the plastic model, but on our teacher herself.

Liam and I did exactly what Mrs Finch had taught us.

Is AI Reshaping Our Lives
I firmly believe AI is greatly reshaping our lives.
On one hand, AI brings much convenience. Smart assistants help us deal with daily affairs and online services make our work more efficient. On the other hand, AI enriches our spare time, offering various entertainment choices. Though it has some drawbacks, its advantages are obvious.
In short, AI is changing our life for the better.
第二节 读后续写（范文）
Liam and I did exactly what Mrs Finch had taught us. We quickly moved her onto the flat ground and checked her breath and pulse. Then we took turns performing CPR on her chest. Meanwhile, Liam dialed 911 and described the situation clearly to the operator. We kept calm and stuck to the first aid steps we had learned, hoping our efforts would work.
Mrs Finch was placed in the ambulance, and we followed to the hospital. Luckily, she soon regained consciousness. Later, she told us we had saved her life. We felt so proud that our learning finally paid off. This unforgettable experience taught us that first aid skills are truly valuable, and we will always be ready to give a hand when emergencies occur.
