New research paints a lifestyle picture of the beloved pandas in China's Wolong Nature Reserve. and the new study indicates pandas are around others more than previously thought.They use scent (marking to keep track of both family members and friends,leave updates about life events. and check out the dating scene. Thomas Connor.lead author of the study.spent months watching for signs of pandas."Once you've gotten an eye for it,you can see on hill tops and different trails the scent-marking trees,and the pandas seem to be doing this a lot,"Connor says."It is pretty evident that they are exchanging information through scent-marking behavior." To link the marked trees with an understanding of panda's social structure.the researchers needed to document nearby panda communities.Connor teamed up with coauthor Ken Frank who said."I told him that once he has data on which pandas are close to each other,we can use the techniques and theories that apply to humans to understand their social networks."And these scent trees are a social media.Like Facebook.you don't have to be in the same place at the same time.It allows one to broadeast to many,and it's a record. Connor dug into a wealth of data he had collected in the form of fresh panda waste.which is the gold standard of panda watching.Information from the waste allowed them to identify specific pandas in the area around the scent-marking trees.and showed if these pandas were related to each other. The discoveries in this study show that pandas are a part of coupled human and natural systems where humans share their habitat.Anything about how they live and what they need can ultimately help inform good conservation policies and maybe understand our own behavior a little more. 28.Who tend to go around the pandas'scent-marking trees?

In a world where everyone has their own opinions on just about everything.it's common for people to be critical of each other's mistakes and imperfections without noticing their own.Some individuals mistakenly think it's their responsibility to make you into a better person.They do this by first pointing out your shortcomings directly and then providing advice on how you can improve. So what is the possible solution to criticism?If you are the one forcing others to feel ashamed of themselves,please stop.Make a conscious decision rather than highlight the negative aspect of a person's performance or attitudes.You are more likely to offer helpful suggestions from the beginning. If you are on the receiving end of criticism,the "OK"response is a perfect solution.When someone comments negatively on a task you are doing or a personality issue of yours,a natural response is to defend and attack.However.this approach is rarely effective as it puts both parties on the defensive. Instead,simply reply with"OK".This brief one-word response acknowledges the other person's comment without agreeing with it or feeling necessary to engage in a debate about it. It's crucial to stay connected to what the other person is talking about,and listen without getting upset,to be an objective observer.In fact,there is much that one can learn from a negative review.You can ask yourself:Did I make a mistake?Could I have done better?Did I give 100%of myself to the task at hand?Ifso,how can I improve myself?As for chronic(反复出现的)eriticizers,.it is important to set strict boundary with them.Remove yourself from their presence when necessary. In any case,one can learn to be "OK"with criticism and not allow it to negatively impact your life or relationship with the other party. 32.What might the author think of people who like to judge others? A.Self-centered B.Responsible. C.Talkative. D.Warm-hearted. 33.What does a person mean by saying"OK"according to Paragraph 2? A.He thinks the advice is helpful B.He completely agrees with the comments C.He wants to avoid unnecessary arguments. D.He defends himself with the response. 34.What is the recommended action for dealing with chronic eriticizers? A.Embrace their views. B.Criticize them in return. C.Avoid interaction if needed. D.Engage with them regularly 英语第5页（其8质） 【2025广西名校卷-2】 35.What is the most suitable title for the text?

Lead by example. If you want to build trust within your team.then lead by example,and show your people that you trust others.This means trusting your team.your colleagues,and your boss.37They are taking cues( from your behavior.Take the opportunity to show them what trust in others really looks like. Know each other personally. One way to build trust is to encourage your team members to know each other.Think about creating situations that help them to share personal stories.and to bond.38 Start by sharing some personal information about yourself,and then ask someone else about a hobby,or a musical interest. 39 When people work together.there will be honest mistakes and disappointments.and it's easy to blame someone for these.However.when everyone starts pointing fingers.an unpleasant atmosphere can quickly develop.This lowers trust,and is finally unproductive. Discuss trust issues. If you manage a team that has trust issues,it's important to find out how these problems originate, so that you can come up with a strategy for overeoming them.Consider giving team members a questionnaire to fill out anonymously ()40 Once you've read the results.get everyone together to talk about these issues. A.Do not place blame. B.Try to avoid mistakes and disappointments. C.Ask them about the reasons for their lack of trust. D.Do this by asking sensitively about their family or hobbies. E.Never forget that your team members are always watching you. F.Instead,encourage everyone to think about the mistake positively. G.However,when trust is in place,the group can achieve meaningful goals. 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题，每小题1分，满分15分） 周读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A,B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The greatest sports moments often havea wonderful flow state behind the victories or performances.
