Nano Banana Models: A Quick Guide
Nano Banana (Flash) and Nano Banana Pro are AI image generation models designed for different creative needs. Flash is built for speed, excelling at quick edits. Pro, on the other hand, is a reasoning engine that handles complex tasks like detailed infographics (信息图).
Prompting (提示词) Strategies
Success depends on how you communicate with each model. Remember: Flash needs stories while Pro needs structures.
For Flash:
◆Use conversational, narrative prompts
◆Clearly state: Subject + Action + Context + Style
Here is an example prompt for Flash: Create an image of a high - fashion model in a grey suit sitting on a stone bench in a formal garden, with soft lighting.
For Pro:
◆Provide structured instructions
◆Specify layout (布局) patterns
◆Request logic flow and white space
Here is an example prompt for Pro:

Which of these ingredients have you cooked with or eaten, wild rice, rabbits or roses Actually, they were part of Native American cuisine in the past. Sean Sherman is a chef from the Oglala Lakota tribe, who is attempting something remarkable. Through his company and his restaurant, Sherman is bringing these ingredients back into the public eye.
Sean Sherman grew up on the Pine Ridge Reservation. As a reservation kid, Sherman usually didn’t have access to high-quality or tasty food. His family relied on the Commodity Supplemental Food Program, which meant canned goods, tasteless food, and powdered milk. After high school, Sherman started working for the Forest Service. As part of his job, he had to learn the names of the plants, which raised his curiosity about indigenous (本土的) plants and foods.
Sherman started doing lots of research on his own, and he started his company in 2014. A few years later, Sherman opened his restaurant Owamni, where he showed native ingredients and flavors. The most significant feature of the restaurant is the native ingredients, none of which is related to European civilizations.
The vibe in the restaurant is totally unique as well. There, a lot of people are really struck by it, because it’s not typical to be able to go someplace and see their native foods on the menu, see native people cooking the food and listen to native music. Therefore, it’s a wholly unique experience and it’s something that’s really special.
Native cuisine allows native people to explore their histories and cultures. It supports local businesses and comes with a host of health benefits. “We should have native restaurants in every city to show the diversity and flavors of all the different tribes across North America and thus have a future where native cuisine is more widespread, and ingredients are more familiar and well known,” Sherman explains.
4. When did Sean Sherman become interested in native foods
A．As he was a reservation kid. B．Before he entered high school.
C．When he worked as a chef in a restaurant. D．When he was working in the forest department.
5. What is the most important feature of Sherman’s restaurant
A．The ingredients used are native. B．Native music is played all the time.
C．Diverse ingredients are combined in each dish.
D．It is a reflection of modern native civilization.
6. What does the underlined word “vibe” in paragraph 4 mean
A．Service. B．Decoration. C．Scenery. D．Atmosphere.
7. Why does Sherman suggest each city should have native restaurants
A．To boost the profits of local businesses. B．To help native people to honor their history.
C．To present and promote the native cuisine. D．To serve foods with various health benefits.
C
Memory experts say that short, temporary instances of forgetfulness, often called “senior moments”, are occurring more frequently among more people nowadays. Many of us find it increasingly difficult to recall simple things; names of friends or co-workers we have not seen for a while, common words that should come easily, or even how to carry out routine actions that once seemed like second nature.
The massive amount of information flooding in from various digital channels is occupying our brains. We are constantly scrolling our phones while doing other things, which neuroscientists say makes it extremely hard to encode memories in the first place. As Sara C. Mednick, a neuroscientist and professor of cognitive science at the University of California, Irvine, explains, our brains are like computers with too many tabs open at the same time. This slows down our processing power, and memory is one of the major areas that weaken as a result.
Lasting and accumulated stress also has a significant impact on memory. Recent life stressors have been found to impair people’s memory, as stress negatively affects attention span and sleep, both of which are closely linked to memory performance. Worse still, long-term stress can damage the brain and cause more lasting memory problems. Although memory declines with age, medical science has not reached a clear conclusion on exactly when it starts. Some studies show that memory ability peaks in people’s 20s and declines gradually from then on, while others suggest the sharpest drop begins around age 60, since people age cognitively at different rates.
To boost memory, experts offer several practical suggestions. Forcing yourself to remember something is counterproductive because frustration will prevent your brain from restoring information effectively. Instead, you should calm down and try again later. Quitting multitasking and focusing on one task at a time helps reduce information overload. Daily meditation, slow deep breathing, walking in nature and enough sleep can strengthen your brain and improve memory function. Being fully present in conversations and giving others your full attention also helps you remember information more clearly.
8. Which of the following is “a senior moment”
A．Failing to remember new information temporarily.
B．Refusing to recall unpleasant experiences on purpose.
C．Losing the ability to perform daily activities completely.
D．Forgetting the title of a book you read every day suddenly.
9. What is mainly responsible for memory problems according to Sara C. Mednick
A．Too much information. B．Multiple tasks in a period.
C．The overuse of our brain. D．Heavy dependence on computers.
10. What can be inferred from paragraph 3
A．Stress does no good to memory.
B．Aging relates closely to memory problems.
C．Stress significantly reduces cognitive ability.
D．Memory declines steadily after one’s twenties.
11. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text
A．Brain Health: Challenges and Values B．Memory Decline: Factors and Symptoms
C．Memory Loss: Causes and Solutions D．Senior Moments: Reasons and Consequences
D
In the thin air of Nepal’s Upper Mustang, a camera trap clicks. Somewhere in the roughly 770,000 square miles of mountains that spread across a number of Asian countries, one of the world’s 4,000 or so remaining snow leopards (雪豹) has just walked past.
Snow leopards slip across international boundaries as easily as rocky peaks, leaving barely a footprint in snow. Tracking these animals is essential to inform the protections of both the species and their habitats. It also means setting up camera traps across the world’s most rocky landscape, and then drowning in the data they produce.
Nepal alone operates nearly 800 camera traps. Each generates thousands of images every few months. For park rangers (巡逻员), every hour spent reviewing photos is an hour not spent in the field preventing illegal hunting, managing wildfires, or working with communities.
To tackle the vast camera trap data, Tencent developed Eye of the Species, an AI model to enhance conservation efforts. The system identifies snow leopards from thousands of images with up to 98 percent accuracy — and it works offline in the world’s most remote locations. The model doesn’t just find snow leopards. It recognizes 286 species and counting.
Unlike traditional single-species recognition models, this model doesn’t require extensive data to learn new species, reducing setup costs by 70 percent. This makes it a more reliable tool for broader wildlife conservation efforts across different regions and species.
Originally developed for snow leopard studies in China, the model has been adapted for use in Nepal. The cross-border cooperation mirrors the snow leopards themselves: conservation that ignores human boundaries to protect animals that never recognized them in the first place.
In an age when technology often feels disconnected from nature, this is proof that it can serve as a bridge — between countries and between species. And to solve a problem too big for any one group to solve alone.
12. What problem do park rangers face in studying snow leopards
A．Tracking them across shifting habitats. B．Locating their shelters in rocky mountains.
C．Setting up new camera traps in bad weather. D．Processing massive image data from cameras
13. Why is Eye of the Species a more dependable tool
A．It’s species-specific. B．It generates images instantly.
C．It helps remote areas get online. D．It’s cost-and-resource-efficient.
14. What does the cooperation between China and Nepal reflect
A．The expansion of snow leopards’ habitats. B．The challenge of stopping illegal hunting.
C．The borderless nature of conservation. D．The difficulty of protecting snow leopards.
15. What message does the last paragraph intend to send
A．AI may one day replace human rangers.
B．Nature is adapting to human-made tools.
C．Technology can reconnect humans and nature.
D．There are no quick fixes to ecological problems.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使其构成一篇完整的短文。词数150左右。
Mareya’s name was a gift from her late beloved grandmother. The name, a link connecting her to the most important person in her life, meant “grace” in her grandma’s hometown dialect-a reminder of the kindness that bends but never breaks. She often thought of her grandma’s warm voice, telling stories under an old apple tree in the backyard-precious memories that lingered (萦绕)in her heart.
Every Saturday afternoon, Mareya would play soccer with her friends, which was a time filled with laughter and joy. One day, as they took a break, Jasmine, who had just watched an old musical, started singing a song playfully and repeatedly: “Mar-eye-aaa, Mar-eye-aaa. They call the wind Mar-eye-aaa! “ Ollie, always the most playful one, joked loudly: “Hey, Mareya! Is that your secret identity Are you the wind ” The others burst into laughter, making up silly nicknames for her. They even begged her to “blow” the soccer ball into the goal.
Mareya forced a smile, but her heart ached. She knew they meant no harm, yet each tease felt like making fun of the love her grandma had given her. Weeks passed, and the “wind” jokes became routine. Her discomfort turned to sadness. She started making excuses to skip their weekly games, claiming homework or family obligations, but the loneliness that followed was almost as painful as the jokes themselves.
The breaking point came one warm Saturday. After their game, they gathered under a big apple tree. Sunlight filtered (透过) through the leaves exactly as it had in her backyard years ago, and the familiar ache in her chest sharpened into something she could no longer swallow. Ollie held up chips and yelled, “Hey, Wind Mareya, blow this bag open!" The group erupted into laughter.
Mareya couldn’t smile. She cherished their friendship, yet the pain of silence now outweighed her fear.
She took a deep breath and made her decision.
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
The laughter faded away, regret and understanding in her friends’ eyes.

五、读后续写范文
She took a deep breath and made her decision. With her hands trembling slightly, she told her friends the true meaning of her name. It was a precious gift from her late grandma, standing for grace and kindness. Every joke about the wind hurt her deeply, for it made fun of her grandma’s love. She explained that she had avoided the games simply because she could not bear the repeated teasing, though she never wanted to lose their friendship.
The laughter faded away, regret and understanding in her friends’ eyes. Ollie and Jasmine apologized sincerely for their thoughtless jokes. They said they had no idea the teasing would hurt her so much and promised never to do it again. From that day on, they cherished Mareya’s name and treasured their friendship more. The warm laughter returned, and Mareya finally felt relaxed and happy with her beloved friends again.
