Here are some of the best examples of ongoing, large-scale and long-term projects to restore ecosystems worldwide.
The Northern Mozambique Channel
This small region is home to 35% of the coral reefs found in the entire Indian Ocean. However, it was threatened by agricultural pollution, overfishing and climate change. Funded by the United Nations, Comoros, Mozambique and Tanzania are working together to manage, protect and restore almost 87,200 hectares of interconnected land and sea. And 4.85 million hectares are expected to be restored by 2030.
Great Green Wall
Launched by the African Union in 2007, this project seeks to transform the lives of millions in the Sahel region by creating a green wall that runs across 11 countries. The 2030 goals of the Great Green Wall are to restore 100 million hectares and create 10 million jobs across the continent, with a particular focus on Burkina Faso and Niger.
Shan-Shui Initiative
Launched in 2016, this ambitious initiative aims to restore 10 million hectares of natural spaces across China, including forests, grasslands and waterways by 2030. Examples include the Oujiang River Headwaters Project in Zhejiang Province, which integrates scientific knowledge with traditional farming methods, like combining crops with fish- and duck-raising, to make land use more sustainable. About 3.5 million hectares have been restored so far.
Central American Dry Corridor
Exposed to heatwaves and unpredictable rainfall, the ecosystems and peoples of the Central American Dry Corridor are seriously affected by climate change, which has left 1.2 million people hungry in the region. Turning to traditional farming methods to increase the soil’s productivity is at the heart of this project which covers six countries: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama.
1. Who is providing funds for the project in the Indian Ocean
A．Comoros. B．Mozambique. C．The United Nations. D．The African Union.
2. What can we know about the Oujiang River Headwaters Project
A．It aims to improve traditional farming methods.
B．It tries to restore forests, grasslands and waterways.
C．It has restored 10 million hectares of land in Zhejiang.
D．One of its goals is to make agriculture more sustainable.
3. Which project mainly focuses on making the soil more productive
A．Great Green Wall. B．Central American Dry Corridor.
C．Shan-Shui Initiative. D．The Northern Mozambique Channel.

Jane Goodall (1934-2025), the famous scientist who devoted all her life to studying and protecting primates (灵长类动物), died at the age of 91.
Jane’s love of animals began at birth. As a child growing up in the coastal town of Bournemouth, London, she dreamed of traveling to Africa and living among the wildlife. When she was 10, she read the book Tarzan (人猿泰山), and the inspiration changed her life. Jane later earned a PhD in ethology, the study of animal behavior, from the University of Cambridge.
At the age of 26, Jane set out on her journey to study the chimpanzees (黑猩猩), attracted by the calls of the African jungle. With curiosity and determination, Jane ventured into the heart of Tanzania’s Gombe National Park in 1960, where she made history by observing chimpanzee behavior.
In 1977, Jane founded the Jane Goodall Institute with Genevieve di San Faustino in Washington, D.C. With offices in 25 cities around the world, the organization aims to improve the treatment and understanding of animals like monkeys and apes through public education and conservation efforts.
“We depend on the natural world for everything,” she said. “It’s like a beautiful web, with all the strings interconnected. As each species disappears from this ecosystem, the web weakens and may eventually collapse. So we must leave our young people a complete and unspoiled natural world.”
With every sincere interaction with creatures, she appealed to us to value and protect the wonders of our planet. Indeed, in the firm dedication and profound insight of Dr. Jane Goodall, we witness a lifelong commitment to nature, love for all living beings, and a vision for harmony and coexistence.
4. What led Jane Goodall to pursue the study of chimpanzees
A．Her PhD study in ethology. B．Her childhood life in Bournemouth.
C．The call from the Jane Goodall Institute. D．Her love for animals and inspiration from Tarzan.
5. What can we learn about the Jane Goodall Institute
A．It was founded by Jane alone. B．Its members all come from America.
C．It educates people more about primates. D．It focuses on studying the chimpanzees.
6. What can be inferred from Jane Goodall’s words in paragraph 5
A．The natural world is very beautiful to appreciate.
B．People should reduce their dependence on the world.
C．Young people are responsible for the extinct species.
D．Every species plays an important role in the ecosystem.
7. Which words can best describe Dr. Jane Goodall according to the text
A．Talented and curious. B．Responsible and inspiring.
C．Determined and polite. D．Warm-hearted and careful.
C
A green alga (水藻) that grows in lakes and rivers could become the next superfood — helping scientists solve global food supply problems while protecting the environment, a new study shows.
Chlorella vulgaris (小球藻) is a freshwater microalga rich in protein and other beneficial substances. Unlike traditional farming, which requires large areas of land and water, it can be grown in an environmentally friendly way with little harm to nature.
The Chlorella vulgaris can be added to food products to boost their nutritional value. With its ability to fight harmful molecules (分子) in the body and support the immune system, and help remove toxins (毒素), Chlorella vulgaris shows great promise as a health-promoting food ingredient.
Researchers at the University of Birmingham believe that, although Chlorella vulgaris has great potential, overcoming the challenges of expanding production and increasing consumer appeal will be key focuses for future research.
“As people become more interested in healthy and environmentally friendly products, Chlorella vulgaris could be one of the superfoods that reshape the future of food,” says Dr. Helen Onyeaka. “Our study highlights the important role of research in solving global food supply problems while promoting environmental sustainability. We found that Chlorella vulgaris not only meets the growing demand for sustainable food sources but also offers significant health benefits. Its future market performance is highly expected.”
Chlorella vulgaris has been used as a food supplement and is available in powder and tablet forms. Adding it to food products can improve their taste, texture, and appearance. However, researchers note that addressing current challenges and improving production methods will be important for its successful use in the food industry.
8. What makes growing Chlorella vulgaris different from traditional farming
A．It is more friendly to the environment. B．It needs more land and water.
C．It causes much land pollution. D．It requires more technology.
9. What does the underlined word “boost” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Destroy. B．Start. C．Decrease. D．Improve.
10. What is one main focus for future research on Chlorella vulgaris
A．How to cut its production costs. B．How to explore its great potential.
C．How to improve its nutritional value. D．How to produce more Chlorella vulgaris.
11. What can we learn about Chlorella vulgaris from Dr. Helen’s words
A．It can solve the global food problems. B．It will have a promising market future.
C．It will be the best superfood for health. D．It can replace traditional sustainable foods.
D
The rapid spread of artificial intelligence has people wondering: who’s most likely to use AI in their daily lives Many think it’s the tech-savvy – those who understand how AI works — who are most eager to adopt it.
Surprisingly, a new research, published in the Journal of Marketing, finds the opposite. People with less knowledge about AI are actually more open to using the technology. We call this difference in adoption the “lower literacy-higher receptivity” link (低识字率 — 高接受度). This link exists across different groups, backgrounds and even countries. For instance, our analysis of data from market research company Ipsos across 27 countries shows that people in nations with lower average AI literacy are more receptive towards AI adoption than those in nations with higher literacy.
The reason behind this link lies in how AI now performs tasks we once thought only humans could do. When AI creates a piece of art, writes a heartfelt response or plays a musical instrument, it can feel almost amazing — like it’s crossing into human land. Of course, AI doesn’t actually have human qualities. A chatbot might create an empathetic (共情的) response, but it doesn’t feel empathy (共鸣). People with more technical knowledge about AI understand this, making the technology less mysterious. On the other hand, those with less understanding may see AI as magical. We suggest this sense of magic makes them more open to using AI tools.
The lower literacy-higher receptivity link is strongest for using AI tools in areas where people are more likely to ask for emotional support or consulting. When it comes to tasks that don’t need human-like qualities, such as analysing test results, the pattern changes. To make the most of AI, businesses, educators and policymakers need to make this balance. And ideally, this will happen with respect that inspires many people to use this new technology.
12. Who are more likely to use AI in daily lives
A．People who are tech-savvy. B．People in developed countries.
C．People with higher average AI literacy. D．People with less knowledge about AI.
13. How does the author prove the “lower literacy-higher receptivity” link
A．By giving examples of AI applications.
B．By doing experiments on the use of AI.
C．By analyzing data from a market research company.
D．By interviewing people with different AI knowledge levels.
14. Why might people with low literacy about AI find it “magical”
A．They believe AI has human emotions.
B．They do not understand how AI works.
C．They have seen AI perform tasks better than humans.
D．They are more likely to use AI for emotional support.
15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text
A．AI in Life: Who Uses It B．AI Use: The Hidden Magic
C．AI Tools: Tech-savvy’s Choice D．AI’s Future: A Threat or An Opportunity

As a radio presenter, I noticed that individuals often prefer music from their teens or early twenties. 16
Firstly, we tend to have a different good memory between the ages of about ten and thirty. 17 The second reason is that music is a powerful trigger for our emotions, which in turn sparks our memories. The music in our teen years is likely to have lots of emotions to understand, so even a very small part of a particular song can bring powerful feelings and memories flooding back.
18 It can have a calming effect, putting you in a relaxed mood, ready to remember. Rhythms and rhymes are great memory aids. And when we love a song, we tend to repeat it over and over again. Singing or playing something can even activate “muscle memory”, and there are many cases of people with severe memory loss still being able to perform music they learned decades ago.
So the next time you hear a familiar song, put it to good use, to explore and exercise your memory. Think about the places and people it reminds you of and the emotions it brings. 19 Remember a particular time in your life, think about the music you listened to then and let it take you back, following the connections as you piece together the past.
You can also use music when you’re learning. 20 If you’re dealing with several topics, play different styles of music while learning different things.
Experiment to see what works for you. Songs can have a powerful impact on memory, and that should be music to everyone’s ears!
A．There are two very good reasons for that.
B．The following practical suggestions are just for you.
C．There are further ways in which music boosts recall.
D．Find recordings that energize your thinking in your study.
E．Some people use music to make themselves fall asleep faster.
F．You may feel as if you rediscover the richest details of your past.
G．Most of us have more novel and exciting memorable experiences then.

When I was younger, I thought science would make good things for everybody. It was 36 (obvious) useful and good. But then during the war I 37 (work) on the atomic bomb. This result of science was very serious — it represented the destruction of people and put our future at risk. I had to ask myself, “Is there some evil involved in science ”
Put another way, what is the value of the science I had long devoted 38 (I) to — the thing I had loved — when I saw what terrible things it could do It was a question I had to answer. I thought long and hard about this question, and I will try to answer it in this talk.
The first way in 39 science is of value is familiar to everyone: scientific knowledge 40 (enable) us to do and make all kinds of things. It is an enabling power to do either good or bad — but it does not carry instructions 41 how to apply it. Another value of science is the intellectual enjoyment it can provide us with. When we look at any question deeply enough, we feel the excitement and mystery coming to us again and again. With more knowledge comes a deeper, more wonderful mystery, 42 (inspire) one to look deeper still.
I would now like to turn to a third value that science has. The scientist has a lot of experience with 43 (ignorant) and doubt and uncertainty, and this experience is of great importance. It is our responsibility as scientists, knowing the great progress that is the fruit of freedom of thought, to declare the value of this freedom; to teach how doubt is not 44 (fear) but to be welcomed and discussed; and to demand this freedom as our duty to all coming 45 (generation).

五、书面表达（读后续写）
47. 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。词数150左右。
Leo noticed that his grandpa had stopped caring for his favorite balcony (阳台) garden. The pots were dry, and the plants looked weak. Grandpa used to spend hours there, growing plants and flowers, but now he just sat quietly in his living room chair. When Leo asked about the garden, Grandpa would simply say, “It’s not important anymore.” Leo felt confused and a little sad. He remembered how proud Grandpa used to be of his little green space.
One afternoon at school, still feeling unsure about how to help, Leo gathered his courage and approached his teacher Ms. Taylor after class. He asked, “Why would someone give up a hobby they once loved ” Ms. Taylor listened carefully and then explained that sometimes people stop doing activities when they feel their efforts are no longer noticed or valued. It might not be about the hobby itself but rather about feeling lonely or unneeded. Leo thought about this — Grandpa had been living alone since Grandma passed away, and family visits had become less frequent lately. Perhaps he felt lonely and unnecessary. His teacher suggested a simple idea: help Grandpa feel useful again by asking for his knowledge about gardening. Leo decided to follow the advice and start small.
The next day, Leo brought a young tomato plant to his grandpa’s apartment. “Grandpa,” he said, “my school project is about growing plants, but my plant isn’t doing well. Could you show me how you used to take care of yours ” Grandpa looked at the little plant, then at Leo’s hopeful face. Slowly, he stood up and walked to the balcony. He pointed to a sunny spot and began explaining the importance of sunlight and water. His voice grew stronger as he spoke. Together, they cleared away old leaves in the pot and loosened the soil. Grandpa placed the young plant into the pot and asked Leo to water it. For the first time in weeks, Grandpa’s eyes had a little light in them.
Leo then asked Grandpa to teach him to grow sunflower seeds.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Weeks later, the balcony was full of life once again.

Leo then asked Grandpa to teach him to grow sunflower seeds. Grandpa’s dull eyes instantly sparkled with joy. He took out a packet of sunflower seeds and walked to the balcony step by step, patiently teaching me every gardening trick: how to loosen the soil, how many seeds to put in each pot and how to control watering. Every day after school, I rushed over to accompany Grandpa to look after the sprouts. We chatted freely about Grandma, his old gardening stories and my school life. Gradually, Grandpa stopped being quiet and lonely, and he seemed to find his value again.
Weeks later, the balcony was full of life once again. Tall sunflowers bloomed alongside plump tomato plants, filling every corner with bright colours. Looking at the thriving garden, Grandpa held my hand and sighed that he had felt useless and lonely after Grandma left, so he gave up his beloved flowers. But spending time planting with me brought him warmth and a new sense of purpose. At that moment, I fully understood: everyone longs to be needed, and simple companionship is the best medicine for loneliness.
