Nearly three decades ago, Brazilian photojournalist Sebastiāo returned from his assignment in East Africa, shocked to find his family's once booming cattle farm had become almost a wasteland. His wife, Lelia, equally heartbroken by the destruction of the once- vibrant (充满生机的) land, proposed an idea that seemed almost as enormous and impossible as the barrenness (荒芜) before them— replant the forest.
In 1998, embracing the challenge with determination and a deep-seated desire to revive a crucial part of their country and family history, Sebastiāo and Lelia established the Instituto Terra, an environmental group dedicated to the sustainability of the Valley of the River Doce. It became a ship through which they would sail on a difficult journey to heal the land and in many ways, themselves.
The couple along with their team, embarked on a journey to replant and rebuild the1,754-acre plot of land. Slowly, the barren desert that Sebastiāo returned to began to transform, was blossoming into the lush paradise that had once existed only in his memories.
Now, the region stands as a testament to what can be achieved with dedication and a dream. It is recognized as a Private Natural Heritage Reserve, a sanctuary where nature has been given the space and support to reclaim its rightful place.
The once-barren cattle farm is not only thriving but has also become a shelter for hundreds of species of animals and plants. The land, now vibrant and alive, hosts 293 species of trees, 172 species of birds, 33 species of mammals, and 15 species of reptiles and amphibians, many of which are endangered and have found a safe refuge in this refreshed environment.
Sebastiāo reflects on the transformation, sharing, “All the insects and birds and fish returned, and, thanks to this increase of the trees, I, too, was reborn— this was the most important moment.”
24. How was the farm when Sebastia o returned from East Africa?
A. Vibrant and alive. B. Messy and noisy.
C. Overgrown and enormous. D. Barren and deserted.
25. How did Sebastiāo and Lelia deal with the challenge facing them?
A. Through a ship journey. B. Through team effort.
C. Through government support. D. Through social donation.
26. What do the figures in paragraph 5 indicate?
A. The success of the couple's work. B. The species the couple hope to save.
C. The original state of the cattle farm. D. The number of wildlife in need of help.
27. What can we learn from Sebastiāo’s story?
A. Bad luck often brings good luck. B. The early bird catches the worm.
C. Where there's a will, there's a way. D. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
C
Facial expressions are an important part of human communication that allow us to convey our emotions. Scientists have found similar signals of emotion in other mammals such as dogs, pigs and mice. Although birds can produce facial expressions by moving their head feathers and flushing (发红) their skin, it is unclear whether they express emotions in this way.
To investigate, researchers from INRAE and CNRS, France, filmed 18 female domestic chickens from two breeds, as they performed routine behaviors on a French farm. They also filmed the birds while being captured and held by a human, and while being rewarded with an appealing food.
The researchers analyzed the position of their facial feathers and the color of the exposed skin on their faces in seven contexts that differed in their emotional valence (效价) and level of excitement. For example, birds preen their feathers when they are relaxed and content, whereas receiving a rewarding food generally causes excitement and happiness, and being captured is an exciting but fearful experience.
The results suggested that the position of the head feathers and the color of the skin varied between contexts. Fluffing (抖松) head feathers were mainly associated with a state of contentment, whereas flushing indicated that the birds were positively excited or fearful.
The study is the first to investigate facial displays of emotion in chickens, and suggests that domestic hens use facial expressions to show their emotions, much like humans and other mammals do. These findings offer a window into the emotional experiences of domestic birds, which could be used to improve the welfare of farmed poultry (家禽), the researchers say.
The skin flushing on the face of the domestic birds is a window into their emotions. The intensity of the flushing varies within a few seconds depending on the emotional situations they experience, the researchers add.
28. What were the researchers trying to understand about chickens?
A. Why they move their head feathers. B. How their faces show their emotions.
C. How they communicate with humans. D. What they need to eat to stay healthy.
29. Why did the researchers film the chickens in various situations?
A. To record their daily activities. B. To check the impact of weather.
C. To compare them with mammals. D. To observe their emotional responses.
30. In which case will a hen fluff its head feathers?
A. When it’s satisfied. B. When it’s fearful.
C. When it’s tired. D. When it’s excited.
31. What field might the research be applied to?
A. Psychology. B. Biology. C. Agriculture. D. Communication.
D
Depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide and is associated with disruptions to several brain and psychological processes, including impaired learning and memory. Physical activity, especially aerobic (有氧的) exercise, has been found to reduce depressive symptoms, but until now the processes behind this have been poorly understood.
In a new review article published in Translational Psychiatry, researchers propose a novel assumption to understand the antidepressant effects of exercise. They believe that the process may hinge on motivation, which is very important for relieving a number of symptoms of depression, such as anhedonia (a lack of interest or joy in life's experiences), low energy and “brain fog”.
The team summarised research papers exploring the mechanisms (机制) of depression in both humans and animals and concluded that depression, especially anhedonia, is associated with increased inflammation (炎症) caused by the body's immune response. Importantly, inflammation is also linked to disrupting dopamine transmission. These biological changes may represent key processes leading to changes in motivation, and in particular a lower willingness to make physical or mental effort.
Meanwhile, exercise reduces inflammation, boosts dopamine function, and enhances motivation. The researchers believe that this could be an important reason as to why exercise has an antidepressant effect. The team hope that this understanding of how exercise reduces symptoms of depression will help to inform the development of new treatment strategies— such as personalised exercise programmes.
Dr Emily Hird (UCL Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience) said, “Understanding the mechanisms behind the antidepressant effects of physical activity in depression could also inform our understanding of the mechanisms causing depression and the development of novel intervention strategies, in particular, personalised intervention, and social prescribing.”
“It would be important to investigate any potential barrier to exercise,” Dr Hird added. “Addressing barriers to exercise— particularly in people with depression— is crucial, as regular physical activity may be able to relieve symptoms, enhance mood and empower individuals on their path to recovery. As part of this, finding strategies to encourage exercise is key.”
32. What is the impact of depression worldwide?
A. It is the most widespread illness. B. It is the leading cause of death.
C. It leads to high rate of disability. D. It becomes the focus of health.
33. Which can best replace the underlined part “hinge on” in paragraph 2?
A. work on B. depend on C. put on D. get on
34. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The reasons behind depression. B. The consequences of inflammation.
C. The way the body's immune system response. D. The main point of the research team.
35. What does Dr Hird stress in the last paragraph?
A. Barriers to taking aerobic exercise. B. The importance of aerobic exercise.
C. Paths to recovery from depression. D. Proper methods of encouraging exercise.

Do you have those days when you say to yourself “I don’t need school” or when you just can't find the motivation to pay attention in school or get your homework done? ____36____ Here are some tips to keep yourself motivated in school so that you can succeed and achieve your goals.
Set concrete academic goals. ____37____ If you just want to “do better” in school, does that mean an A? Or a B? Are you just trying to pass? Sit down and set specific benchmarks for yourself. You might say you want to maintain at least a 3.0 GPA, or that you want to get at least an A — in history this year.
Study efficiently. Avoid cramming and focus on creating your own understanding. It’s easy to just sit in front of your book and read passively without really absorbing the information. ____38____ If you find it most efficient to focus on one subject at a time, do that. If bouncing between a few similar subjects helps you stay on task, that’s fine, too.
____39____ This will help you commit the material to memory. It’s better to spend 10-15 minutes studying every night than to try and stuff everything into one study session the night before the big test. Research has shown that stuffing is one of the least efficient ways to prepare for a test, so avoid it at all costs.
Take care of your body. Get plenty of sleep, eat a healthy diet, and exercise regularly. You cannot stay motivated if you’re so physically under the weather that your body can't focus. Get 8 hours of sleep — especially on school nights. ____40____
A. Stay focused with mindfulness tricks.
B. Study in a way that makes the most sense to you.
C. It's easier to stay motivated if you have specific goals.
D. Review everything you learned at the end of each study session.
E. It's a lot easier to stay motivated if you know you’re going to relax eventually.
F. Eat a diverse, healthy diet and get plenty of physical activity to ensure you' re in tip-top shape.
G. You’re not alone, but doing well in school will set you up to have the life you want down the road.

67. 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。
Maycie Fuselier was a warm-hearted young woman with a genuine care for others. Three years ago, during a charity event, she signed up to be a bone marrow(骨髓) donor, hoping to make a difference in someone's life. As time passed, the memory of that selfless act faded into the background of her busy life as a high school English teacher.
In September 2022, Adam and Candace Cromer learned that their daughter, Sophie, then only 6 years old, had been diagnosed with aplastic anemia, a rare and serious bone marrow disease.
“It was severe,” Candace said. “We did our own research and found the only cure option was to have a bone marrow transplant.”
It was an ordinary afternoon when Maycie's phone rang and she answered, expecting a routine call, but the voice on the other end brought unexpected news.
“Hello, Maycie? This is calling from the National Bone Marrow Registry. We have a potential match for your donor profile. A young girl named Sophie, who is suffering from a rare and severe bone marrow disease called aplastic anemia, needs your help. Are you still willing to donate?”
The news that she was a match for Sophie left her both surprised and nervous. Unsure of what to do, she sought guidance from her father.
“He said that I should think about it and I did,” she shared.
After taking his advice, she made the life-changing decision. “I'm so glad I said yes,” Maycie added, reflecting on the experience.
The process was swift and efficient. Maycie underwent a series of tests to confirm her compatibility, and soon, it was confirmed that she was indeed a match for Sophie. The thought of being able to save a child's life filled her with a profound sense of purpose and joy.
In January 2023, Sophie's life was saved by a bone marrow transplant from Maycie. The Children's of Alabama organized a special meeting for them in September 2024.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;

On the day of the reunion, Maycie walked into a room filled with balloons and smiles. There, she saw Sophie, now a healthy and vibrant 8-year-old, running and laughing like any other child. The transformation was astonishing, and Maycie’s heart swelled with emotion. Sophie ran towards Maycie, hugging her tightly. “You' re my hero,” she whispered, tears of joy in her eyes. Maycie held her, overwhelmed by the love and gratitude that surrounded her. The two embraced, a moment of pure joy and gratitude that brought tears to the eyes of everyone present.
Seeing Sophie healthy and lively, Maycie was glad she had made that decision. It was a reminder that kindness could have profound and lasting impacts. During their reunion, Maycie reflected on the emotional experience and encouraged others to consider becoming donors, emphasizing the chance to “give the gift of life”. “Don’t even think twice,” she said. “Do it. For sure.” Maycie returned to her classroom with a renewed sense of purpose, sharing her story with her students. She wanted them to understand the power of compassion and the incredible gift of life that they could all be a part of.
