In the small coastal town of Portree, a group of local artists has launched an innovative project called “Art on the Waves”. They use abandoned fishing boats as floating galleries, displaying paintings and sculptures that reflect the town’s maritime heritage. Visitors can rent a small boat and paddle between the anchored vessels, enjoying art while surrounded by the sea. “We want to connect people with our fishing culture in a fresh way,” says Fiona, one of the founders. The project has attracted tourists from all over the country, and local fishermen are happy to see their old boats given a new life. However, some residents worry that too many visitors might disturb the quietness of the bay. Despite this, the project continues to grow, with plans to include live music performances on the boats during summer evenings.

A recent study published in the journal “Nature Sustainability” reveals that cities can reduce heat stress by increasing green spaces and using reflective materials on roofs. Researchers analyzed data from 100 cities worldwide and found that areas with more parks and tree-lined streets had surface temperatures up to 5°C lower than those with less vegetation. “Urban heat islands are a growing problem,” said Dr. Elena Martinez, lead author of the study. “But simple, cost-effective measures can make a big difference.” The study also highlighted that combining green roofs with white-painted roofs could maximize cooling effects. However, the researchers warned that such measures should be tailored to local climate conditions, as excessive reflectivity might cause glare in sunny regions.
4. What does the study suggest about urban green spaces
A．They have little effect on temperature.
B．They can significantly lower surface temperatures.
C．They are too expensive for most cities.
D．They cause problems in sunny regions.
5. What is Dr. Martinez’s attitude towards the measures
A．Skeptical.
B．Optimistic.
C．Critical.
D．Indifferent.
6. What caution does the study give
A．Green roofs are ineffective in cold climates.
B．Reflective materials may cause visual discomfort.
C．The measures are only useful in tropical areas.
D．Cities should not invest in such projects.
C
The concept of “digital minimalism” is gaining popularity among young professionals. It advocates reducing screen time, deleting unnecessary apps, and focusing on meaningful offline activities. According to a survey by the Digital Wellness Institute, 68% of respondents reported feeling less anxious after adopting digital minimalism. However, critics argue that it might hinder productivity and social connections, especially for those who rely heavily on digital tools for work. One practitioner, Sarah Chen, a software engineer, said that she now limits her social media use to 30 minutes a day and feels more focused. She also mentioned that she reconnected with hobbies like painting and hiking. The movement encourages people to evaluate their digital habits and make conscious choices rather than being passively controlled by algorithms.
7. What is the main idea of the passage
A．Digital tools are harmful to mental health.
B．Digital minimalism helps reduce anxiety and improve focus.
C．Social media should be banned entirely.
D．Young professionals are addicted to technology.
8. What does the survey indicate
A．Most people are against digital minimalism.
B．A majority of participants experienced reduced anxiety.
C．Digital minimalism is ineffective for professionals.
D．People prefer offline activities over online ones.
9. What does Sarah Chen’s experience show
A．It is impossible to reduce screen time.
B．Cutting down on digital use can bring benefits.
C．Software engineers cannot disconnect from work.
D．Hobbies are more important than work.
D
In the field of archaeology, a new technique called “DNA barcoding” is helping scientists trace the origins of ancient artifacts. By analyzing tiny DNA traces left on objects, researchers can determine what plants or animals were used to make them, and even where they came from. For example, a study of a 2,000-year-old ceramic vessel found in Central Asia revealed that it contained residues from rice, indicating trade links with East Asia. This method is non-destructive and complements traditional dating methods. However, it requires careful handling to avoid contamination. Lead researcher Dr. James Park noted that “DNA barcoding opens a new window into past human migration and exchange networks.” The technique is still under development, but it has already provided surprising insights into the Silk Road’s complexity.
10. What is DNA barcoding used for in archaeology
A．To determine the age of artifacts.
B．To identify the materials and origins of artifacts.
C．To repair broken artifacts.
D．To create digital copies of artifacts.
11. What did the study of the ceramic vessel reveal
A．It was used for cooking rice.
B．It showed evidence of long-distance trade.
C．It was made in East Asia.
D．It contained animal bones.
12. What is a challenge of this technique
A．It is destructive to artifacts.
B．It requires expensive equipment.
C．It is sensitive to contamination.
D．It is not accurate enough.
13. What is Dr.Park’s view on the technique
A．It is still too unreliable to use.
B．It has great potential for historical research.
C．It will replace traditional methods.
D．It is only useful for Asian artifacts.

Dear Chris,
I’m glad to tell you something about our school Science Festival held last Friday, whose theme is "Science Changes Life".
We enjoyed expert lectures on AI and space exploration. There were also invention exhibitions and robot competitions. I took part in the hand-made robot contest and won third prize.
This activity opened my eyes to modern technology. I have become more curious about science and eager to explore more scientific knowledge.
Yours,
Li Hua

That evening, Tom’s parents sat down with him and had a heart-to-heart talk. They apologized for ignoring his true interest before. They admitted that art could also be a promising career if he kept working hard. They promised to buy him professional painting tools and spare time for his creation every weekend. Tom was overjoyed and shared all his drawings and ideas with them. From then on, his parents supported his painting wholeheartedly and even took him to art exhibitions on holidays.
Paragraph 2:
Weeks later, Tom’s art teacher submitted his sketchbook to a local youth art competition. Full of confidence, Tom waited patiently for the result.

He realized that as long as you stick to your dream and gain understanding from your family, you will finally shine.
