At the age of 62, when many people begin to slow down, Craig Munns chose to begin again. In his study, there sat a model of a dinosaur, a small object that one day raised a big question in his mind: What should I do next with my life That moment led him onto a new path — one that eventually made him a palaeontologist (古生物学家).
The lack of a university degree had bothered Munns for years. Instead of remaining stuck in such a mood, he chose to take action. He enrolled (注册) as a part-time student and studied palaeontology. Years later, he graduated with honors. Now, at 65, he works at Geoscience Australia and spends his days studying fossils (化石) hidden inside layers of ancient rock.
What excites him most is not the famous dinosaurs that many people imagine, but small creatures from the distant past. To him, these creatures reveal something deeply meaningful: the amazing flexibility of life. By studying how they lived and adapted, he sees how life survives pressure, change and hardship.
In many ways, Munns understands that struggle personally. While working on an important research paper, he went through a series of painful events. His parents passed away. After that, he was knocked off his bike and broke both arms. Yet none of these hardships made him give up. He kept going, holding on to the dream he chose late in life.
Munns does not believe life should stop at a certain age. Instead, he sees each stage of life as a chance for a fresh adventure. His story shows that dreams do not only belong to the young. With courage, curiosity and perseverance, a person can keep growing, keep learning, and keep moving forward — no matter when the journey begins.
4. What led Munns to restart his life
A．A long-standing regret. B．His childhood dream.
C．His passion for dinosaurs. D．A deep-seated desire for respect.
5. What amazes Munns most about ancient life
A．Its distribution. B．Its popularity. C．Its complexity. D．Its adaptability.
6. What can we know about Munns
A．He sought help from others humbly.
B．He doubted his decision now and then.
C．He attached much importance to teamwork.
D．He committed himself to his late-life dream.
7. Which of the following best matches Munns’ story
A．Practice makes perfect. B．Better late than never.
C．Still water runs deep. D．The early bird catches the worm.
C
Andrena rehni, the chestnut (栗子) mining bee, is a rare species that has not been recorded for decades in the United States. In New York State, its last confirmed sighting was in 1904, leading some researchers to believe that it might have disappeared. However, recent observations suggest that this rare insect may still survive in certain environments.
This species depends heavily on chestnut trees, which declined sharply due to a deadly disease in the early 20th century. As these trees declined, so did the bee populations that relied on them. In recent years, efforts to restore urban chestnut orchards (果园) have gradually brought these trees back, creating conditions in which the bees may return.
Surprisingly, the chestnut mining bee was rediscovered in an urban orchard surrounded by roads and buildings. This finding challenges the common belief that rare species can only exist in untouched natural habitats. Instead, it shows that even human-shaped environments may still support valuable forms of life.
Identifying such bees is far from simple. To an untrained observer, many species of mining bees look nearly identical. Scientists often rely on close examination, sometimes using microscopes, to detect small differences in body structure, such as patterns, textures, or hair placement. These hard-to-notice features are essential for distinguishing one species from another.
The rediscovery of this bee highlights a broader issue: Many insect species remain poorly understood. Some may have disappeared without being noticed, while others may still exist but have simply gone unobserved. This uncertainty has led to growing interest in tracking down“lost” species.
As a result, citizen science has become increasingly important. Ordinary people, by observing insects in gardens, parks, or even backyards, can contribute valuable information. Since scientists cannot cover every location, public participation greatly expands the search.
Ultimately, the case of the chestnut mining bee reminds us that biodiversity may exist closer than we expect. Only by paying attention to the small and often overlooked creatures around us can we better understand — and protect — the natural world.
8. What mainly contributed to the decline of the chestnut mining bee
A．A sudden change in climate. B．The reduction of its host trees.
C．A serious disease affecting it. D．The strong competition between species.
9. What does the bee’s rediscovery suggest
A．Wild forests matter most. B．Chestnut trees are fully restored.
C．Cities may still hold biodiversity. D．Urban orchards are more inviting for bees.
10. Why does the author mention citizen science
A．To raise the awareness about rare bees.
B．To highlight the significance of insects.
C．To stress the difficulty in identifying bees.
D．To demonstrate the power of the public.
11. What is the best title for the text
A．What Urban Nature Hides B．A Lost Bee in an Unlikely Place
C．Why Rare Insects Escape Attention D．The Return of America’s Chestnut Trees
D
When a bone breaks severely, it does not always heal (愈合) on its own. In such cases, doctors commonly rely on bone grafts (移植) or metal implants to stabilize the damaged area. Yet neither solution is ideal. Bone grafts require an additional operation to remove bone from another part of the patient’s body, extending recovery and increasing risks. Metal implants, though widely used, are far harder than natural bone and may gradually loosen over time. Rarely has a material been developed that truly works with the body’s own healing process rather than just replacing it.
It is precisely this challenge that researchers at ETH Zurich have attempted to address. They have created a soft gel (凝胶) designed to mimic the body’s earliest stage of bone repair. Containing mostly water, the material can be shaped by laser (激光) light into extremely delicate structures, some even thinner than a human hair. Not only is the technique precise, but it also makes it possible to reproduce patterns similar to those found inside natural bone.
To understand the idea behind this design, one must first consider how the body heals a break. When a bone is first damaged, hard tissue does not immediately appear. Instead, a soft network forms around the injured area, allowing repair cells to enter and begin rebuilding the tissue. Gradually, this temporary structure becomes stronger and eventually develops into solid bone.
Inspired by this natural process, the researchers designed the new material to provide temporary support. When exposed to carefully controlled laser light, parts of the gel quickly harden and form stable structures, while the remaining material stays soft and can be removed. What is left behind is a fine internal framework similar to the hidden architecture of real bone.
So far, the material has been tested only in laboratory studies. Although further research is still required, the early results are promising. If future studies prove its effectiveness, this laser-shaped material may offer a safer and more natural method for repairing severe bone injuries.
12. Why are traditional treatments for bone breaks far from satisfying
A．They involve harmful materials. B．They require regular medical checks.
C．They carry risks of further damage. D．They are expensive for most patients.
13. What does the underlined word “mimic” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Copy. B．Stop. C．Extend. D．Estimate.
14. What do we learn about the newly designed gel
A．It directly heals several bone injuries.
B．It is widely acknowledged to be effective.
C．It remains unchanged when exposed to laser light.
D．It acts as a short-term framework for bone repair.
15. What is the author’s primary purpose in writing the text
A．To analyze the process of bone healing.
B．To compare materials used in bone grafts.
C．To introduce an alternative for bone recovery.
D．To describe laser technology for medical research.

47. For almost ten years, the bell in Mr. Carter’s classroom meant much more than the beginning of class. The old bell sat on the teacher’s desk. It was a little rusty (生锈的), but it still looked important. Every morning at exactly 8:00, Mr. Carter rang it once. Its clear sound spread through the hallway and brought peace to every student.
Mr. Carter was more than just a teacher to his students. He remembered their birthdays, kept extra pencils for them, and even had a hidden box of snacks for children who were hungry. His classroom was warm and welcoming. Still, the bell was the most special thing in the room. To many children, its sound meant that everything was fine.
After teaching for 30 years, Mr. Carter retired. The school held a small party for him. He smiled, accepted hugs, and shared cake with everyone. He left the school, carrying his precious memories and the old bell that had accompanied him for many years.
Soon, a new teacher Lucy took over the class and brought a new cold electronic alarm. Most students got used to it, but Noah did not. The mechanical sound felt hollow and unpleasant to him. Deprived (剥夺) of the soft, warm ringing, the classroom lost its warmth and sense of safety. Every morning when the electronic alarm went off, Noah would lower his head quietly, missing the peaceful moment the old bell brought.
Weeks passed, and Noah’s sadness didn’t fall away. Noah’s mom reached out to the school, sharing how her son had always relied on the soft, steady jingle of Mr. Carter’s old bell to feel settled. Lucy’s heart sank after hearing the story. No one had realized that a simple rusty bell had been Noah’s most important sense of security for such a long time. Determined to cheer the boy up, Lucy made up her mind to lend a hand.
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。
On a Sunday morning, Lucy appeared at Mr. Carter’s door.

At 8:00 the next Monday, Noah heard the familiar ringing sound.
