In a village a few kilometers from the West Flanders coast, Nele Bekaert fetches one of several Brabant horses that her family owns. Weighing about a ton, the powerful horse is ideal for pulling a drag net to catch tiny, grey shrimp(虾) in the North Sea. Bekaert rides the horse to the seashore of Oostduinkerke, Belgium.
Upon arrival, the pair or horses pull waterproof nets and tin ropes and a large net between the baskets. Bekaert skillfully seats herself between the baskets. She leads the horse into the shallow sea until the water reaches the top parts of its legs and they slowly move parallel to the coastline, causing a unique scene. A metal chain attached to the front of the net over the sand, creating "shockwaves" that cause shrimp to jump into the net, while water pushes prawns to the back of the net.
After about 30 minutes, Bekaert and her "co-seafish" return to shore. She empties the net, wades and sorts the catch, keeping shrimp and fish that are fully grown, while releasing the small-sized shrimp and baby crabs back into the sea. This helps maintain biodiversity and prevents the unintentional capture of non-target species.
Bekart is part of a team of 14 active horseback shrimp fishers, formally known as East Dunekijk Horse Fishers. Each year in Oostduinkerke, they give 36 public demonstrations and participate in a Shrimp Festival. The craft has been supported by the government over the years.
The horseback shrimp fishing tradition has almost disappeared elsewhere in Belgium except in Oostduinkerke. That is thanks to former mayor (市长) Honoré Loones, who saved horseback shrimp fishing from extinction in 1950 by making it a tourist attraction with the first Shrimp Festival. The East Dunekijk Horse Fishers play a vital role in promoting the craft. Members travel for demonstrations at events across Europe. "The tradition is very important," Bekaert notes. "I'm happy to help preserve and share it."
24. What makes Bekaert's shrimp fishing unusual
A. Her fishing on horseback. B. Her plastic fishing net.
C. Her precise equipment. D. Her fishing off the coast.
25. Which word can best describe Bekaert's method of sorting the catch
A. Labor-saving. B. Profit-oriented. C. Sustainable. D. Efficient.
26. Why do the horseback fishers give so many public demonstrations
A. To find funds for the government. B. To pass down the ancient fishing skill.
C. It is expected to die out soon. D. To commercialize the Shrimp Festival.
27. What can we infer about horseback shrimp fishing
A. It food extinction in the past. B. It boosts the global tourist industry.
C. It faced extinction risk. D. It has threatened commercial fishing.
C
Start reading recent internet conversations about AI, and you'll find a topic that surfaces with increasing frequency: ChatGPT delivered lifesaving medical advice.
"Three weeks ago I woke up from a nap and found some red spots all over my legs," begins one such account in a video from Bethany Crystal, who lives in New York. After an exchange with ChatGPT, it told her, "You need immediate evaluation for possible bleeding risk." "What followed was a whirlwind of hospital appointments that went consistently scary," says Crystal, who was eventually diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease. She says she may not have gone to the emergency room in time if ChatGPT had not been insistent.
Hundreds of millions of people now consult ChatGPT weekly for wellness advice, according to its maker, OpenAI. In early January, the company announced the launch of a new platform, ChatGPT Health, which it says offers enhanced security for sharing medical records and data. It says ChatGPT Health is promising to partner with patients on navigating healthcare.
Many patients describe using different AI platforms to help with daily management of health as a complement (补充) to advice from medical professionals. Sixty-year-old Burt Rosen uses AI to share AI test results and asks it to translate them into comprehensible English. Rosen says AI has changed the relationship he has with his doctor. "When I go to a doctor's appointment, I no longer need to ask my doctor to explain so much," he says. "My doctor's appointment is much more of an action-planning session."
Of course, AI is not a replacement for a doctor. the data says the system without clinical oversight (监管), misdiagnosis, misleading advice, or human misunderstanding are significant problems. Despite these hazards, they are optimistic about the contributions AI can make to health care and believe the benefits will eventually outweigh the dangers, if they don't already.
28. What does Bethany Crystal's case in paragraph 2 indicate
A. The popularity of ChatGPT. B. The significance of regular checkups.
C. The lack of medical knowledge. D. The value of AI aided medical diagnosis.
29. What do we know about ChatGPT Health
A. Its security is better promoted. B. It provides better health care than doctors.
C. It has 100 million registered users. D. It is used as a tool by My Doctor Friend.
30. What impact has AI brought to Rosen
A. It improves the care for his disease.
B. It reduces his time in medical procedures.
C. It changes the way he communicates with his doctor.
D. It offers him real-time translation at the doctor's.
31. What does the underlined word "hazards" in paragraph 5 mean
A. Viruses. B. Risks. C. Signs. D. Reminders.
D
When Brandon Contino and Dan Gol were developing Four Growers' produce-harvesting robots, they practically lived in a greenhouse for an entire year. "We're actually starting with harvesting of a tomato, and I would be there in the row, cutting. Gol would be making adjustments on a touch screen," Contino says.
The result was Four Growers, which builds robots designed to automatically harvest plants in greenhouses. The robots are programmed to identify produce at the right level of ripeness—which varies depending on a farmer's needs—by using multiple stereo cameras to see the crops and will be commercially available to harvest other crops like cucumbers in the near future.
In greenhouses, the robot can work nonstop on the vine. The tech currently works with tomatoes and can pick, they set and rest in bulk pots for the farm. The National Association of State Departments of Agriculture's 2024 labor report said the industry is facing a "critical shortage" of workers, and it won't get any better anytime soon.
Contino said they were intentional about focusing on greenhouse farms. Unlike outdoor farms, greenhouses can grow almost all year round, and are more efficient than outside farms. They also happen to be a much more frequent schedule than outdoor farms, which makes them a good candidate to try a robot.
Four Growers now works with five customers, and its robots have picked millions of tomatoes. Contino said that the company is working to expand its technology beyond just harvesting and is looking to expand into outdoor farms in the coming years. "It's not really a labor replacement. It's more of an augmentation (增强)," Contino said. "As the labor force shrinks, and there are fewer people to be able to do a lot more."
32. What are the cameras used to do in the greenhouse
A. Identify ripe tomatoes. B. Take pictures for the ripe fruit.
C. Monitor the surroundings. D. Distinguish tomatoes from other plants.
33. Why does the author mention the 2024 labor report in paragraph 3
A. To show the urgency of the farm labor shortage.
B. To show the achievements of Four Growers.
C. To show the company's harvesting robots.
D. To tell us for public support for the farm industry.
34. According to Contino, what makes greenhouse farms a better target for Four Growers
A. A wider range of crops. B. Greener than outside farms.
C. A greater number of consumers. D. Higher harvesting frequency.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Autonomous Tech is Coming to Farming
B. Seed for a Farm's Future—Farm Management
C. Four Growers Helps Greenhouse Harvest
D. Farm Automation: New Agricultural Strategies

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
In the age of short videos and site-sized information, it seems we're losing the ability to enjoy good books. Reading is no longer a naturally built-in ability; or rather, it has become something that must be relearned. 36 The answer is certainly yes. Here are some tips as you take on the challenge of returning to reading.
Cut yourself off from social media.
Making time for relearning to read is no easy task when every extra hour is flooded with social media and other digital addictions. So instead of trying to find extra time in your daily routine, cut yourself off from those time-consuming distractions for a short period. This also will leave your brain longing for something to do. 37
Make reading material attracts you most.
38 Sure, then for after your reading habit takes hold again. For now, try choosing a feeling of adventure. Try biographies or historical stories to capture the imagination more while still informing you.
Make returning to read a part of your schedule.
Set specific times to start reading. It doesn't have to be at hours at a time. 39 Or just start with 5, 10 or 15 minutes at a time to keep the barrier to entry low. As your brain redoes the habit, sessions naturally become longer.
40
When there's a break in the day, pull out your book instead of checking your social media. Turn waiting rooms into learning centers. Turn less into a time to grow your brain. You'll fall in love with reading before you know it.
In short, start your reading journey today and rebuild your brain's ability to focus. In an era of endless digital speed, to relearn how to read deeply is, ultimately, to relearn how to think for yourself.
A. Keep a book on you at all times.
B. Set clear goals for what you read each day.
C. And then you can fill that gap with reading.
D. Break your reading sessions up throughout the day.
E. You may wonder whether the effort is really worth it, though.
F. For many readers, non-fiction books are dry and short of creativity.
G. Don't you feel the stories are not just two-dimensional pictures in your head

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。
Shannon St. Onge was driving back from a family birthday party late one morning. The radio mentioned snowstorms with no warning conditions, making it many impossible to move even a few miles ahead. She later learned that this kind of storm is called a "Saskatchewan snowstorm," which comes on extremely fast and brings extremely strong winds. Realizing she could not drive safely, Shannon stopped her car and called 911 for help. The operator told her that rescue workers were already too busy with other calls and advised her to stay in her car, since she had enough gas and was warm. She took down Shannon's information and promised that an officer would call back soon.
Hours passed, but no one called. Shannon waited nervously in her car as the snow grew thicker. Almost 14 hours went by, and still nobody had checked on her. She later wrote on Facebook that she began to panic. Her mind filled with scary thoughts: she worried about being hit by another car that could not see her, or getting buried under deep snow. She also feared that snow might block her car, which could send dangerous gases into her car. The more she thought, the more hopeless she felt. Above all, she was deeply afraid that she would never get home to her children, and that nobody would know where she was.
Refusing to give up, Shannon decided to take action. She slowly went out into the fierce storm, struggling to find a road sign that could tell her where she was. The wind was so strong that she could hardly stand, but she managed to read the sign and find her location. Then, she took out her phone and found a neighborhood Facebook group for the area she was passing through. She posted a message describing her difficult situation and added a Google Maps pin so that local people could see her exact spot. She hoped someone nearby might see her post and come to help, though she was not sure if anyone would actually show up in such terrible weather.
续写段落开头:
Shannon's message soon reached Andre, a 70-year-old retired man nearby.

Dear Leo,
Knowing your community's interest in Chinese culture and your plan, I strongly recommend baduanjin, a traditional Chinese exercise perfect for group practice.
Baduanjin consists of eight gentle movements, combining slow stretching with mindful breathing. It's easy to learn and requires no special equipment, making it suitable for people of all ages. Regular practice relieves stress and improves physical flexibility, which fits the needs of both office workers and seniors. Besides, its rich cultural meaning can deepen your community's understanding of Chinese traditions.
I'm happy to send you teaching videos if needed. I hope the activity will be a great success!
Yours,
Li Hua
读后续写范文
Shannon's message soon reached Andre, a 70-year-old retired man nearby. He didn't hesitate. He put on his thickest coat, picked up a shovel and a flashlight, and walked into the screaming wind. Every step was a fight against the thick, blinding snow, but he thought of Shannon—a mother stuck in her car, terrified. After nearly an hour, he found her car, tapped on the window, and shouted, “Follow me, dear. My house is just ahead.” Shannon cried with relief, walking behind his strong, steady figure as he cleared a path with his shovel.
When they reached Andre's home, his wife had hot soup and clothes waiting. Shannon hugged Andre, unable to find words for her gratitude. The next morning, before leaving, Shannon looked at the 70-year-old man who walked through a dangerous snowstorm to rescue her. She realized that true courage isn't about being young or strong—it's about choosing to care when no one else will. Before she left, she asked Andre why he had risked his life for a stranger. He smiled and said, “Because that's what neighbors do.” Those five words stayed with Shannon, reminding her that even in the darkest storm, the light of human kindness never goes out.

W: Did you watch the robot competition yesterday
M: No. But I remember the Blue Alliance reached the final and beat RoboMaster last year. How were their performances this year
W: Not as good as their opponent, Arizona Robotics League.
Text 4
M: Anna, are you going to set up the equipment for the sports meet today
W: No. I will do it tomorrow morning, because I still have to get 20 flags and several ropes for it this afternoon.
Text 5
W: Will Nina still make it to our volunteer event
M: She called me just now. She planned to drive over, but a fallen tree blocked her road. She's stuck at a gas station waiting for cleanup crews.
W: That's a pity. We'll have to handle the extra work ourselves.

W: I've finally saved enough to rent my first apartment. I visited a few units for a viewing last Saturday, and I'm favoring the one on Maple Street.
M: You have to read the rental contract carefully before signing it.
W: I know. Owners can slip in hidden fees. I'm going to bring Emma with me. She used to work as a rental agent.
M: Smart move. Are you going to pay monthly, or go for a quarterly payment

W: Go ahead.
M: I'm not quite sure about the picture of the bottle on the beach. It has got nice sunlight, which is good, but it feels a bit still, doesn't it I think we'd better bring some lively elements into the picture.
W: Yes, it's a little empty. Maybe I should add a kid who would be picking up seashells there.
M: Nice idea. We can try.

W: Mark, do you still buy physical music albums these days
M: No, not really.
W: So how do you listen to new songs then
M: I just use streaming apps like Apple Music.
W: Same here. But I notice I always end up listening to the same playlists recommended to me, like pop hits. So I might miss out on some music types like jazz or classical music.
M: I get what you mean. I also wonder if CDs and records will disappear completely. I heard record stores are closing down fast.
W: I think physical music will become a collector's thing someday, just like film cameras.
M: I love the experience of playing a record—the rich texture of sound, the big cover picture. Have you ever tried it
W: No, I don't think my ears could tell the difference in sound quality.

W: Hey, Ben, do you have a moment to go over our class project
M: Hey, Alice! Sure thing. We have to pick a subject related to the renewable energy, right
W: Exactly. Any thoughts
M: I already did a project on solar power last term, so I was thinking we could reuse that.
W: Actually, our instructor specifically warned us against recycling previous work. How about we explore something else, like wind or water
M: Wind energy sounds way more appealing to me. Let's go with that.
W: Great. So, should we hit the library for reference materials
M: Honestly, I think we'd get better results from online databases. The library copies tend to be pretty dated. Besides, before we confirm our subject with our instructor, I feel we should check it with other groups first.
W: I agree. We don't want everyone covering the exact same topic.
M: Perfect. let's do that.

Good afternoon, everyone! Today, let me introduce to you our city's latest attraction: the Greenway Bridge. It's a public park built on an old elevated railway that was no longer in use. Since there was little empty land in the downtown area, the city decided to reuse this forgotten structure. The main challenge was strengthening the old bridge to support the weight of soil and trees. After a successful crowdfunding campaign, work began. What sets Greenway Bridge apart is its clever use of renewable energy—all lights are powered by solar panels along the rails, and rainwater is collected and recycled. The plants need little water and attract local butterflies. Along the path, you'll find wooden benches and small viewing platforms where visitors can enjoy city views. Since it opened last month, the park has become a popular spot for both morning joggers and evening walkers. We hope this project will encourage other cities to see potential in their old structures, showing that creativity can turn abandoned spaces into community treasures.
