Carlos Magdalena, known as the “plant savior,” is a plant researcher at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, in London. He travels the world saving endangered plants from near extinction. While many conservation headlines focus on animals like whales, Magdalena argues that plants deserve equal attention. “Plants are the magicians of our universe,” he says.
Magdalena’s journey began with a shrub (灌木) called cafe marron from the island of Rodrigues. Thought to be extinct for most of the 20th century, a single survivor was found in 1980. Kew Gardens received a cutting, but experts could not get it to produce seeds. When Magdalena arrived in 2003, he experimented by changing the way he handled the flowers and growing the plant in warmer conditions. Suddenly, he succeeded in propagating it. The plant was later reintroduced to Rodrigues. This taught him a valuable lesson: even if a plant cannot be saved now, we may be able to save it in the future.
Another famous rescue involved the pygmy lily from Rwanda. Seeds from a German university had failed to grow. One night while cooking dinner, Magdalena had a breakthrough: the young leaves needed more CO2 from the air. He placed the seeds just one to two millimeters below the water’s surface, allowing the leaves to breathe. It worked. His dedication, he admits, is often misunderstood, but it makes incredible things possible.
Magdalena also discovered a giant water lily in Bolivia. At first glance, he knew it was different from the two known species. After years of research, including DNA analysis, he and his team confirmed it as a new species: Victoria boliviana, with leaves ten feet wide. “What else is out there ” he wonders. With up to 100,000 plant species still undiscovered, Magdalena’s mission is far from complete. He believes that protecting plants means protecting the base of life on Earth.
24. What does the underlined word “propagating” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Discovering. B．Recording. C．Increasing. D．Controlling.
25. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A．The rescue of the pygmy lily. B．The value of CO2 for plants.
C．The research on a new species. D．The difficulty of growing seeds.
26. What can be learned about Magdalena from the last paragraph
A．He knows all plants in the world clearly. B．He has discovered 100,000 plant species.
C．He teaches many students to study plants. D．He will continue his plant protection work.
27. Which of the following can best describe Magdalena
A．Brave and humorous. B．Devoted and creative.
C．Honest and confident. D．Calm and careful.
C
One year after his death, a generative AI version of actor Val Kilmer is set to appear in an independent film titled As Deep as the Grave. Kilmer, best known for playing “Iceman” in Top Gun, had signed on for the movie before he passed away but could not perform due to his declining health.
Kilmer died at age 65 from pneumonia (肺炎) last April. In 2014, he was diagnosed with throat cancer, which led to multiple surgeries and eventually cost him his natural speaking voice. Before his death, Kilmer worked with an AI company to digitally recreate his voice—a technology that was already used in Top Gun: Maverick.
The actor’s family has given permission for his digital image to be used in the new film and will receive payment for it. His daughter, Mercedes Kilmer, said the role deeply appealed to her father, who was part Native American. The film is based on a true story about archaeologists (考古学家) in Arizona uncovering Native American history.
The use of AI in filmmaking has become highly debatable in Hollywood. Recently, a company called Xicoia launched an AI actor named “Tilly Norwood” and even released her first music video. The actors’ union, SAG-AFTRA, has publicly criticized such uses of AI actors. However, according to union rules, digital representations of performers are allowed if the actors give their approval. If an actor has died, permission must be provided by a legal representative or the union itself.
For their new film, the filmmakers, writer-director Coerte Voorhees and producer John Voorhees, said in an email, “We believe we are serving as a demonstrator for how to do it ethically and correctly, especially when working with the family of the late actor Kilmer.”
As As Deep as the Grave aims for release later this year, it raises important questions: Should AI bring back departed actors for new roles And where should the line be drawn between artistic possibility and respect for the dead
28. Why was Kilmer able to have voice performance in Top Gun: Maverick
A．He received voice treatment. B．He turned to a singer for help.
C．AI helped rebuild his lost voice. D．He practiced speaking to recover.
29. What can be concluded about the production of the new film
A．It followed the rules set by the actors’ union.
B．It was criticized by the actors’ union publicly.
C．It was opposed by Kilmer’s family members.
D．It was produced without the union’s approval.
30. What does the last paragraph suggest
A．Artists refuse to use AI technology. B．AI can fully replace real actors in films.
C．AI use in films causes wide concern. D．The public ignores AI’s moral problems.
31. What is the best title for the text
A．The Rise of Independent Film Industry
B．SAG-AFTRA Criticizes New Music Video
C．Val Kilmer’s Final Battle with Pneumonia
D．AI Brings a Departed Actor Back to the Screen
D
As bubbles rippled across a frozen Finnish lake, diver Daan Jacobs surfaced from a hole carved into thick ice. He had just spent 45 minutes eight meters below the surface, where sunlight shone through the Arctic ice and fish swam around rocks. It is a remote world few will ever see, especially in winter, when temperatures on land can drop to minus 40 degrees.
Jacobs is a biodiversity adviser from the Netherlands, but he is also one of a growing number of people trained to dive under polar ice. He recently took part in a Polar Scientific Diving class in northern Finland. The program, designed by the Finnish Scientific Diving Academy, aims to train the next generation of scientists to study life beneath the Arctic and Antarctic ice.
Why is this training so urgent The Arctic is warming four times faster than the rest of the planet. Higher temperatures cause polar bears to become weaker and hungrier because they depend on sea ice to hunt. In Antarctica, melting ice sheets are raising sea levels and disrupting ocean ecosystems. To understand how climate change affects plants and animals that live under the ice, scientists need to go there themselves. However, experts say only a few hundred people in the world have the necessary diving skills and scientific background.
According to British Antarctic Survey marine biologist Simon Morley, dragging nets across the seafloor would destroy the habitat, and robots can usually pick up only one specimen (样本) at a time. “A diver can go down and pick up 12 urchins (海胆), put them in a bag without affecting the rest of the system,” Morley explained.
During the training, students must learn to dive under ice nearly a meter thick in water just above freezing. They also face freezing air temperatures and strong winds. The topside support team must operate equipment to keep divers safe while avoiding frostbite. Divers must also learn to handle emergencies, such as when someone cannot find the exit hole.
Despite the difficulties, the divers describe the experience as incredible. “It looks incredible from beneath the ice,” said Caroline Chen, a scientific diver.
32. What does the author want to show by mentioning polar bears in paragraph 3
A．Their living and hunting habits. B．The bad effect of Arctic warming.
C．The difficulties they face in winter. D．Their value in the Arctic food chain.
33. What does Simon Morley think of human divers
A．They are necessary for the research. B．They destroy the living environment.
C．They are replaced by robots completely. D．They work more slowly than machines.
34. What can we learn about the training
A．It is fit for all common divers. B．It is dangerous and challenging.
C．It occurs in Antarctic coastal areas. D．It needs no support from the topside.
35. What is the writer’s purpose in writing this text
A．To tell risks of sea level rising. B．To show beauty under Arctic ice.
C．To call on protecting polar bears. D．To introduce polar scientific diving.

67. 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。
Sarah had always dreamed of climbing mountains, but living in the flat countryside, she had never had the opportunity. When her college announced a two-day mountain hiking trip during the weekend, she immediately signed up, despite having no experience.
The group of twelve students, led by their experienced guide Mike, set off early on a cold March morning. With professional outdoor equipment on him, including a small positioning device on his backpack, Mike led the way as they hiked through beautiful forests and crossed clear streams. Sarah felt confident and excited, taking countless photos of the stunning scenery.
On the second day, however, the weather took a sudden change. Dark clouds gathered quickly, and a heavy snowstorm hit with fierce winds, while the low temperature turned the wet ground into smooth ice everywhere. The visibility dropped to almost zero, and Mike made the difficult decision to find shelter and wait for the storm to pass.
They found a small cave where they stayed close together for warmth. Mike kept encouraging everyone to stay calm and strong, reminding them that they would overcome the difficulty as a team. The students cheered each other on, trying their best to stay hopeful. As hours passed, their food supplies ran low, and some students began to panic. Sarah noticed that Mike looked increasingly worried, constantly checking his GPS device and emergency radio.
Late in the afternoon, the storm finally began to die down. Mike gathered everyone and explained that they needed to go down the mountain immediately as another storm was approaching. However, the usual trail was now covered with deep snow and fallen trees, making it impassable.
“We’ll have to take the alternative route,” Mike announced, his voice tense. “It’s longer and more challenging, but it’s our only option. I’ve already sent a message to the base camp via the emergency radio to inform them of our situation and our new route, just in case we run into more trouble.”
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。
Starting down the unfamiliar path, Sarah found it much harder than expected.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Just when Sarah thought she couldn’t go any further, she heard the sound of a helicopter overhead.

六、读后续写范文
Starting down the unfamiliar path, Sarah found it much harder than expected. The road was steep and slippery with thick snow. She stumbled several times, her legs trembling from exhaustion. Everyone moved slowly, helping each other up when someone slipped. The cold wind cut through their coats, and the little food left barely gave them energy. Sarah wanted to give up many times, but seeing teammates holding on, she bit her lips and kept moving forward step by step. Mike walked at the back, constantly checking the route and comforting the tired students.
Just when Sarah thought she couldn’t go any further, she heard the sound of a helicopter overhead. Everyone waved their arms wildly and shouted for help. The pilot spotted them soon and landed safely on a flat ground nearby. Rescuers brought hot drinks and food for the exhausted group. Mike told the rescue team all about their experience. Sitting in the warm helicopter, Sarah felt relieved. Though the trip was full of dangers, it taught her the power of teamwork and courage in difficulty.
