In recent days, Chinese agricultural technician Yang Xiugang has been receiving messages from Muhammad Usman, one of his trainees in Nigeria, asking for farming advice. Over the past few years, Yang has been devoted to helping farmers like Usman.
Born in Cengong county in Southwest China’s Guizhou province, Yang started to learn hybrid rice production techniques in 1998, when the manager of the county’s seed company came to his town to develop the industry. After mastering the skills, he was hired by the company as a technician. Recommended by his employer, Yang set out on an African-aid program to share agricultural technology abroad and has worked in several countries over the past decade.
Yang has been based in Jigawa State, Nigeria, since 2021. “The climate there is completely different from that in China. Temperatures swing sharply between day and night. Seedlings (幼苗) grow very fast — producing a new leaf every three days, compared with four or five days in Cengong,” he says, “so local varieties tended to collapse across large areas during wind and rain. Coupled with weak management, fields often had more weeds than rice, so yields were naturally low.”
Faced with these challenges, Yang set aside his experience in China and started from the very beginning to understand the local planting cycle. He spent long days in the fields, observing rice growth and recording temperature and seedling development. After more than two years of research, he finally developed hybrid rice varieties adapted to local conditions. Thanks to his expertise, average rice yields rose from about 3,000 kg per hectare (公顷) in 2021 to between 9,750 and 10,500 kg per hectare by 2025.
So far, Yang has trained 12 local farmers in Nigeria, including Usman, who has now become a skilled farmer. “Over the past two years, I have systematically learned seedling growing and other skills,” Usman says. “In the future, I will pass on the hybrid rice techniques I’ve learned to more people.” As for Yang, he hopes to expand the local hybrid rice planting area to 20,000 hectares before he retires.
24. Why did Yang go to Africa ten years ago
A. To take over his boss’s business.
B. To search for improved rice seed varieties abroad.
C. To spread agricultural knowledge and technology.
D. To enlarge China’s international agricultural markets.
25. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. What Yang sought for in Nigeria.
B. Why Nigeria had low rice output.
C. How farmers manage rice planting.
D. How local climate affects rice seedling growth.
26. What major contribution did Yang make in Nigeria
A. He shortened the local rice growth cycles.
B. He greatly expanded the scale of local farmlands.
C. He developed hybrid rice suited to local conditions.
D. He introduced effective field weed-control methods.
27. What key lesson about farming can we learn from Yang’s experience
A. Team cooperation brings mutual benefits.
B. Flexible adaptation leads to practical success.
C. Professional skills require long-term accumulation.
D. Humans can completely defeat natural conditions.
C
French company Airseas has promised to help cargo ships reduce their fuel consumption and cut their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by an average of 20%. And they’re doing this with the Seawing — a 1,000-square-meter kite that will fly 300 meters above the water’s surface. So the global shipping industry is apparently rediscovering the benefits and efficiency of sails.
The large, ship-sized kite is currently under development, and the company plans to open a factory to produce the Seawing in 2026. Airseas has promised that launching and operating a Seawing on a cargo ship will be automated, making it easy for crews to use. The kite and its launching equipment are fixed on a vessel’s deck; the crew only needs to press a few buttons, and the large kite will rise into the sky. That’s not to say cargo ships will abandon their engines entirely, but the kite will ease the load on these engines and lower fuel demand. Wind propels the ship, just as it did for centuries before industrialization.
A 20% emissions cut may not sound significant, yet transporting massive volumes of goods across the high seas accounts for 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions. This figure tops the aviation sector, which contributed roughly 2% of worldwide emissions in 2021 per the International Energy Agency. Shipping is therefore a key target for emission reduction: roughly 90% of all global traded goods are transported by sea, according to the International Chamber of Shipping.
Multiple firms have high hopes for this modern sail technology. Japanese shipping firm “K” Line has placed orders for the Seawing kite, and the European Union has also invested over $2 million in related funding.
28. What is the main goal of Airseas’ Seawing project
A. To help cargo ships save fuel and cut emissions.
B. To invent new equipment for entertainment at sea.
C. To simplify sea exploration and sailing experience.
D. To replace traditional engines on large cargo ships.
29. Which of the following is a major advantage of the Seawing
A. It can work without any engines.
B. It is lightweight and easy to store on decks.
C. It is convenient and user-friendly for crews.
D. It can greatly increase ships’ sailing speed.
30. Why does the author mention the airline industry in Paragraph 3
A. To introduce a new research topic.
B. To analyze the causes of industrial pollution.
C. To prove the rapid growth of global emissions.
D. To highlight the shipping industry’s huge emission volume.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. New Factories for Green Shipping Equipment
B. Global Efforts to Reduce Aviation Emissions
C. The Revival of Traditional Sailing in Modern Times
D. Modern Kite Technology Helps Cut Shipping Emissions
D
Who will take care of grandma and grandpa when no one is available This question is becoming urgent as the population ages rapidly and fewer children are being born. For many families, the answer might soon be a robot.
This might sound like science fiction, but the reasons are practical, mainly financial. Hiring a caregiver is often too expensive for most families, sometimes costing two or three times more than a humanoid robot, which is estimated at about $20,000.
I believe that robots will assume the care of many elderly people. A robot could potentially be a one-time expense, requiring minimal maintenance and receiving updates through cloud computing technology. And it could function around the clock. I’ve treated elderly patients who had been found wandering the streets or severely dehydrated (脱水的) because of gaps in care. A tireless robot — made possible by improved battery life and the ability to self-charge — could mitigate such problems. Reliable robotic companions could also accompany seniors outside the home for walks or to community events, enhancing rather than weakening their social connections.
Furthermore, while actual human contact is preferable, it has real drawbacks. Human caregivers can lose their tempers, but robots are unlikely to have that problem. In a recent study, observers found AI-generated responses to be more empathetic and compassionate (有同情心的) than those of humans — a surprising but telling result. A robot with AI-assisted voice technology could potentially understand emotion and intent, clarify instructions, and respond to commands in real time.
But where does that leave us If I know that grandma has her robot, will I opt not to drop by after work when I’m exhausted Will the neighbors stop checking on her As her faculties fail, will she feel more at ease with the robot than with her family
32. What is the core practical advantage of care robots compared with human caregivers
A. Lower long-term economic costs.
B. The ability to build intimate friendship.
C. Simple installation and operation process.
D. Complete guarantee of the elderly’s safety.
33. What does the underlined word “mitigate” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Cause. B. Reduce. C. Ignore. D. Discover.
34. What does the author imply by citing the AI study in paragraph 4
A. The potential of AI in showing empathy.
B. The urgent need to replace human care.
C. The general weakness of human caregivers.
D. The importance of human emotional interaction.
35. What is the author’s attitude tone in the last paragraph
A. Angry and accusatory.
B. Reflective and concerned.
C. Indifferent and dismissive.
D. Sympathetic and confused.

57. 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 becoming a wildlife photographer. Every weekend, she would walk into the nearby forest, hoping to capture precious moments of animals in their natural habitat. However, after months of trying, she still hadn’t gotten that perfect shot she was looking for. Deer always ran away at the slightest sound, birds flew off before she could focus her lens(镜头), and her camera bag stayed full of empty memory cards. Frustration began to creep in, but Sarah refused to give up. She loved the forest, the fresh air, and the sense of peace it brought her, even if the animals didn’t always cooperate.
One chilly autumn morning, Sarah noticed something unusual—a young fox standing still near the edge of the forest. Her heart raced with excitement. “This could be my chance!” she thought, quickly pulling out her camera. She adjusted the lens and began to move closer, careful not to make any sudden movements. The fox didn’t run away; it just stood there, its gaze fixed on her. Sarah’s fingers trembled as she framed the shot, imagining the stunning image she could capture—the fox’s brilliant red coat against the golden autumn landscape.
As she peered through the viewfinder, she noticed something strange. The fox’s front paw was raised slightly, and its body seemed tense. She zoomed in and gasped—the paw was injured, possibly caught in a trap. The fox’s stillness wasn’t an opportunity for a perfect shot; it was a sign of pain and fear. Sarah’s excitement turned to concern in an instant. Her heart tightened as she looked into the animal’s eyes, seeing the silent plea(恳求)for help. Her photographer’s instinct urged her to take the shot—it would be powerful, emotional, and perfect.
But a stronger voice inside her whispered that some moments weren’t meant to be captured; they were meant to be acted upon. With trembling hands, she lowered her camera and reached for her phone instead to call the local wildlife rescue team.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Moments later, some rescue workers arrived with equipment and medicine.

【答案】Dear Tom,
How delighted I am to get your email! Last week our school held the “When English Meets Arts” festival, appealing to most students.
We enjoyed various activities including poetry contests and painting shows. My favorite was English poetry recitation, in which I recited the poem Life from our textbook.
This festival really helped me see the beauty of both English poetry and art. I learned how poems use vivid language, rhythm and imagery to express feelings, just like the art pieces in the exhibition tell stories through colors and lines. It struck me that language and art are closely linked. Have you joined similar school activities Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
【答案】 Moments later, some rescue workers arrived with equipment and medicine. After quickly assessing the situation, they approached the fox cautiously, bent down and talked softly to calm the frightened animal. Then the fox’s paw was carefully released from the trap. No sooner had they applied medicine to the wound than the fox showed signs of relief. Sarah, watching the rescue unfold before her eyes, realized this was far more precious than any photograph she could have taken. Right then, Sarah decided to join the rescue team as a volunteer.
Being a volunteer for the rescue team, Sarah never forgot her dream. Profoundly moved by the fox incident, she committed herself to combining her passion for photography with her newfound mission. Whenever she went into the forest with her camera, she kept an eye out for any animals in need. Her photos evolved to tell deeper stories — carrying both beauty and conservation. Little did she know that her decision to help that fox would transform her photography and her entire perspective on the relationship between humans and nature.
