W: You’re dealing with life more wisely than me.
M: But your lunch looks quite healthy, too. It seems to be entirely vegetables. Are you a vegetarian?
W: No, it’s just that I feel like eating something light today. Did you buy your lunch or make it yourself?
M: My mom made this for my sister and me. What about you?
W: I made my own lunch. I enjoy cooking.
M: I must say, it looks and smells absolutely delicious. What are those things on top?
W: Nuts.
M: May I taste your nuts?
W: Of course. We can share our lunch with each other during working days, so we can eat more flavors of food.
M: That sounds like an excellent idea.

【解析】
【原文】M: My name is Simon. I started playing chess when I was three years old. When I was five, I could defeat older kids, showing my natural talent for the game. By the time I was eleven, my parents saw my potential and had me join under-eighteen tournaments. We spent weekends traveling across the country. Although the travel was exciting, I didn’t win much at first. When I was seventeen in 2018, I started winning every competition I entered. The following year, I started entering adult chess contests, facing much older and stronger opponents. This was both exciting and helped me grow quickly. In 2020, I won my first adult competition. However, I felt something was missing because I had missed out on many social and personal experiences. In 2022, I decided to take a break from chess to focus on school. This break helped me rediscover my love for chess. Now, I am back with a new goal: to be selected for the national team.

The waiting room was crowded with little kids and their parents, but I knew this was something I, a housewife, needed to start doing.
When my name was called I entered the small room, wiping the sweat from my palms.
“Oh!” the young woman greeted me. “I wasn’t expecting to see any, uh... adults!”
When my friends turned fifty, they did exciting things to celebrate, like a trip to the sunny south, a fancy dinner or a new hairstyle. I decided to learn to play the cello (大提琴).
I had heard that learning a musical instrument boosts brainpower, so to fight against my ageing, I went to the music store to peruse the options. Never having played strings before, I rented a cello to see what I thought, and it was love at first note.
My new cello teacher was as young as my daughter, and as she handed me the cello music, she inquired as to how long I’d been playing. “I just started,” I mumbled.
“I guess we’ll start you off like my other students,” she said, handing me a book full of photos of four-year-old cellists.
I started lessons two years ago, and now I play every day. Eagerly, I anticipate my cello practice time every evening, craving it, and loving the calm that always arrives. I have no idea how much I will enjoy the cello and how much I need it. I’m not sure where this cello playing will take me, but I love mentioning casually in conversation, “Yeah, I was just playing my cello today...”
Recently, I played with a group of musicians. To my surprise, people applauded at the end. My friends’ new hairstyles have all grown back. Their trips are nothing but memories, but I have dents(凹痕) in my fingers and a strategy for keeping calm for the next thirty years until I find another new instrument to try.
24. How did the author feel when she entered the music room?
A. Shocked. B. Calm. C. Confident. D. Nervous.
25. Why did the author choose to learn music at fifty?
A. To make her childhood dream come true.
B. To maintain her mental abilities.
C. To satisfy the expectation of her family.
D. To try something different from her friends.
26. Why does the author look forward to practicing the cello every day?
A. She enjoys showing off. B. She wants to impress others.
C. She is preparing for a performance. D. She loves the feeling it brings to her.
27. What can we learn from this story?

C
A dropped bag of chips disturbed a cave ecosystem in Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico. This cave is almost cut off from the outside world, so introducing anything foreign can be harmful. “Things in the damp cave get wet quickly,” says park guide Ashley. The snack attracts tiny organisms, causing unwanted growth. Soon, small animals like crickets and spiders came to eat, spreading the pollution. Rangers found the bag within hours. “But that can be all it takes,”says Ashley. “I’m sure some crickets got a bit of the snack.”
Over 500 million people visit American public lands each year, creating many chances to harm wild places. “When you look at the numbers, it’s incredible,” says Watts, head of the Leave No Trace Center in Colorado, an organization aimed at minimizing human impact on nature.
Food waste takes a long time to break down, especially in certain areas. “It takes much longer for an apple core to rot in a desert than in a forest,” says Blye, a teacher at the University of Utah. Leaving waste introduces animals to an unnatural diet and changes their behavior with sometimes disastrous results. Bears who taste garbage and become a threat to humans may have to be put down. “Bears can get used to unnatural food in three weeks,” says Watts. “Everyone loses in this case.”
Biological waste is also problematic. Dog waste brings new bacteria into the ecosystem and scares away deer. Meanwhile, human waste and toilet paper introduces dangerous bacteria into water sources.
In national parks, trails (小路) are designed to avoid sensitive areas. Stepping off the trail, even for a quick photo, can scare wildlife away. Impacts from many visitors result in long-term damage to nature and wildlife. But people don’t think of that when they see the perfect photo opportunity. “It’s just such a hard thing to resist,” says Blye. The risk to sensitive ecosystems isn’t obvious. “It’s easy to think, oh, there’s wildflowers over there. I shouldn’t step on that,” says Blye, but these tiny ecosystems full of microscopic organisms essential to desert life provide many benefits, including reducing the risk of erosion (侵蚀) and helping absorb rainfall, and can take hundreds of years to return to its original state.
28. What does Ashley mean by “But that can be all it takes.”?
A. The rangers’ work is efficient. B. The damage has been done.
C. The cleanup takes a long time. D. The pollution has spread widely.
29. What is a result of foreign waste in public lands?
A A shift in animal behavior. B. A shortage of food supplies.
C. A decline in bacterial species. D. An increase in regional conflicts.
30. Why does the writer mention wildflowers in paragraph 5?
A. To praise their benefits to desert life.
B. To highlight our damage to ecosystems.
C. To stress their significance for photography.
D. To show our unawareness of nature’s sensitivity.
31. It is conveyed in this passage that we should .
A. encourage wildlife protection B. leave no trace in the wild
C. promote national park tourism D. restore ecological damage
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. D 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人类活动,特别是游客在自然保护区的不当行为,对自然环境造成的负面影响。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章划线句子上文“A dropped bag of chips disturbed a cave ecosystem in Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico. This cave is almost cut off from the outside world, so introducing anything foreign can be harmful.(在新墨西哥州的卡尔斯巴德洞穴国家公园,一袋掉落的薯片扰乱了洞穴的生态系统。这个洞穴几乎与外界隔绝,所以引入任何外来的东西都可能有害。)”以及“Soon, small animals like crickets and spiders came to eat, spreading the pollution.(很快,像蟋蟀和蜘蛛这样的小动物就跑来觅食,从而扩散了污染。)”可知,一袋薯片掉落在洞穴里,虽然护林员在几小时内就发现了薯片,但是在此之前薯片已经吸引了微小生物,导致了不必要的生物生长,蟋蟀和蜘蛛等小动物也跑来觅食并扩散了污染。所以 Ashley说“But that can be all it takes.”意思是损害已经造成了。故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Leaving waste introduces animals to an unnatural diet and changes their behavior with sometimes disastrous results. Bears who taste garbage and become a threat to humans may have to be put down. “Bears can get used to unnatural food in three weeks,” “says Watts. “Everyone loses in this case.”(留下垃圾会让动物接触到非自然的食物,并改变它们的行为,有时甚至会带来灾难性的后果。尝到过垃圾味道并对人类构成威胁的熊可能不得不被安乐死。“熊能在三周内习惯非自然的食物,”Watts.说,“在这种情况下,大家都输了。”)”可知,在公共土地上留下的外来垃圾会让动物接触到非自然的食物,进而改变它们的行为,有时还会带来灾难性的后果,比如尝到垃圾味道的熊会对人类构成威胁。故选A。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““It’s just such a hard thing to resist, “says Blye. The risk to sensitive ecosystems isn’t obvious. “It’s easy to think, oh, there’s wildflowers over there. I shouldn’t step on that, “says Blye, but these tiny ecosystems full of microscopic organisms essential to desert life provide many benefits, including reducing the risk of erosion(侵蚀)and helping absorb rainfall, and can take hundreds of years to return to its original state.(“这真的很难抗拒,”Blye说。对敏感生态系统造成的风险并不明显。“很容易想到,哦,那边有野花。我不应该踩到它们,”Blye说,但这些充满了对沙漠生命至关重要的微生物的微小生态系统有很多益处,包括降低侵蚀风险和帮助吸收降雨,而且可能需要数百年才能恢复到原来的状态。)”可知,Blye说人们看到拍照机会很难抗拒,对敏感生态系统的风险并不明显。人们很容易想到那边有野花不应该踩到,但这些对沙漠生命至关重要的微小生态系统有很多益处,而且需要数百年才能恢复到原来的状态。所以作者在第五段提到野花是为了表明我们对大自然敏感性的无意识。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章内容可知,文章开篇以一袋薯片扰乱洞穴生态系统为例,接着讲述了食物垃圾、生物垃圾等人类在公共土地上留下的废弃物对生态系统的危害,如改变动物行为、引入有害细菌等,还提到游客踏出小径拍照等行为对自然和野生动物造成长期损害,强调了人类活动对自然环境的不良影响。所以文章传达的是我们应该在野外不留下痕迹。故选B。
D
Killer whales hunt fish with sounds as clicks and buzzes — they choose and chase their prey with sound waves. But a common feature of modern ocean life may be like a salmon’s invisible cloak (隐形斗篷), making the whales’ favorite meal harder to find. What is to blame? Boat traffic noise.
Ocean noise has been increasing over the years, and an international research team recently reported in Global Change Biology that when the water got too noisy, whales spent more time looking for food but caught fewer fish. The study tracked every move and sound that individual killer whales made, as well as the sound reaching those whales. This is the first time scientists have linked noise reaching a given killer whale to their foraging (觅食) success, says lead author Jennifer Tennessen.
The noise problem is one that Tennessen views as chronic, yet possibly more straightforward to fix than declining fish populations or pollution — ships could simply slow down to make less noise. Fortunately, with the guidance of both governmental and nongovernmental groups, some ship operators are slowing down.
The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority in Canada reported in 2023 that 87 percent of ships slowed or moved over for southern resident whales in critical habitat, which led to a decrease of 4.2 decibels (分贝) compared to 2019, before slowdowns began. Washington ports and other local authorities join in a program of voluntary slowdowns in Washington waters called Quiet Sound, which offers information on killer whale locations. About 70 percent of ships follow Quiet Sound’s guidelines and voluntarily slow down in killer whale critical habitat.
The talk about innovations in propeller (螺旋桨) technology is also positive. A propeller, for example, is based on a design for a quieter drone propeller. If claims of a more efficient and quieter boat propeller are true, that’s good news for both reducing fuel use and quieting traffic.
Tennessen says increasing ship noise is a problem in oceans around the world. “We’re finally able to measure the impacts that it’s having on wildlife,” she says, “and we’re finding that the impacts are numerous.”
32. Why does the author mention a salmon’s invisible cloak?
A. To introduce the feature of sound waves.
B. To describe the environment in whales’ hunting.
C. To emphasize the invisibility of salmons’ cloak.
D. To demonstrate the characteristic of whales’ hunting.
33. What do the statistics indicate in paragraph 4?
A. Noise reduction is ineffective.
B. Ship operators ignore guidelines.
C. Quiet Sound prioritizes noise monitoring.
D. Voluntary slowdowns lead to noise reduction.
34. What is the significance of propeller technology innovations?
A. To address noise issues.
B. To reduce fuel efficiency.
C. To follow Quiet Sound’s guidelines.
D. To help measure influences on wildlife.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Ships Slow Down for Whales.
B. Boat Noise Clouds Whale Foraging.
C. Killer Whales Battle Noise Pollution.
D. Technology Innovations Silence Propellers.
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. A 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍越来越多的海洋噪音污染问题给鲸鱼的捕猎带来了困扰,为此,各方从多个角度投入力量改变这一现状。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“But a common feature of modern ocean life may be like a salmon’s invisible cloak (隐形斗篷), making the whales’ favorite meal harder to find. What is to blame? Boat traffic noise.(但是,现代海洋生活中的一种常见现象可能就像鲑鱼的隐形斗篷,使得鲸鱼最爱的食物更难被发现。罪魁祸首是什么?船只交通噪音。)”可知,这里使用鲑鱼的隐形斗篷作为一个比喻,描述了船只交通噪音如何使得鲸鱼更难找到它们的食物,就像给鲑鱼穿上了一件隐形斗篷一样,由此可知,文中提到鲑鱼的隐形斗篷是为了表明鲸鱼捕食困难的境况。故选B项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority in Canada reported in 2023 that 87 percent of ships slowed or moved over for southern resident whales in critical habitat, which led to a decrease of 4.2 decibels (分贝) compared to 2019, before slowdowns began.(加拿大温哥华弗雷泽港务局在2023年报告说,在关键栖息地内,87%的船只为南部常驻鲸类减速或避让,这导致与2019年开始减速前相比,噪音水平降低了4.2分贝。)”可知,大多数船只遵循指导原则并自愿在关键栖息地减速,从而实现了噪音水平的有效降低,由此可知,第四段中的数据表明了自愿减速导致噪音减少。故选D项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“A propeller, for example, is based on a design for a quieter drone propeller. If claims of a more efficient and quieter boat propeller are true, that’s good news for both reducing fuel use and quieting traffic.(例如,一种基于更安静无人机螺旋桨设计的螺旋桨。如果更加高效且更安静的船用螺旋桨的说法属实,这对于减少燃料使用和降低交通噪音都是好消息。)”可知,螺旋桨技术的创新旨在制造更加安静和高效的船用螺旋桨,有助于解决噪音问题,由此可知,螺旋桨技术创新的意义是解决噪音问题。故选A项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据首段中的“But a common feature of modern ocean life may be like a salmon’s invisible cloak (隐形斗篷), making the whales’ favorite meal harder to find. What is to blame? Boat traffic noise.(但是,现代海洋生活中的一种常见现象可能就像鲑鱼的隐形斗篷,使得鲸鱼最爱的食物更难被发现。罪魁祸首是什么?船只交通噪音。)”可知,噪音污染成为像鲑鱼的隐形斗篷一样,使得虎鲸难以捕捉到它们的主要食物来源,引出下文介绍的通过船只减速和其他技术手段来减轻这种影响的努力,由此可知,本文主要讲述的船只噪音污染问题给鲸鱼的捕猎带来的困扰以及解决这一问题的方法和技术进步,所以题目“船只噪音影响鲸鱼觅食” 准确反映了文章的核心内容,适合作为最佳标题。故选B项。

Respect is the foundation of harmonious relationships. ____36____ Learning to respect others’ differences and avoiding conflicts caused by prejudice or misunderstanding are key.

【36题详解】
前文“Respect is the foundation of harmonious relationships. (尊重是和谐关系的基础)”总的指出尊重的重要性,后文“Learning to respect others’ differences and avoiding conflicts caused by prejudice or misunderstanding are key. (学会尊重他人的差异,避免因偏见或误解而引起的冲突是关键)”建议尊重他人的差异,因此E项“Everyone has their own personality, values, and ways of life (每个人都有自己的个性、价值观和生活方式)”符合语境,说明为何需要尊重他人,承前启后。故选E。
【37题详解】
空处位于段首,是段落主旨句,需统领段落内容,后文“Many times, misunderstandings and conflicts arise from poor communication. Learning to listen to others’ thoughts and feelings and expressing your own views in a careful manner are important. (很多时候,误解和冲突是由于沟通不畅而产生的。学会倾听别人的想法和感受,谨慎地表达自己的观点是很重要的)”主要指出沟通不畅导致的后果,并强调倾听和表达的重要性,因此D项“Communication is the bridge to resolving conflicts (沟通是解决冲突的桥梁)”符合语境,概括该段主旨,引出后文,其中的Communication在后文有同词复现。故选D。
【38题详解】
前文“Tolerance is not indulgence (纵容) but a form of understanding and acceptance. (宽容不是放纵,而是一种理解和接受)”点明宽容的本质,因此A项“It can make relationships friendlier (它能让关系更友好)”符合语境,说明宽容的作用,承接前文,其中的It指代前文的Tolerance。故选A。
【39题详解】
前文“Be sincere with others, avoid being fake or pretentious, and treat everyone with a true heart. (对人要真诚,不做作,用一颗真诚的心对待每一个人)”建议真诚待人,因此F项“Good faith can bring people closer and build deep trust and friendship (真诚能拉近人与人之间的距离,建立深厚的信任与友谊)”符合语境,说明真诚待人的积极影响,承接前文。故选F。
【40题详解】
前文“Through respect, communication, tolerance, and sincerity, we can build good relationships with others. (通过尊重、沟通、宽容和真诚,我们可以与他人建立良好的关系)”指出尊重、沟通、宽容和真诚对建立良好的关系的作用,因此G项“Besides, we can create a more harmonious and beautiful world together (此外,我们可以共同创造一个更和谐美好的世界)”符合语境,进一步说明这对构建和谐世界的作用,承接前文。故选G。

I hope this finds you well. I’m thrilled to share my Spring Festival experience, especially after its UNESCO heritage recognition. This year, I participated in many traditional activities making the festival unforgettable.
On New Year’s Eve, my family gathered for a reunion dinner, feasting on symbolic dishes like dumplings and fish for prosperity. We decorated our home with red lanterns and couplets to invite joy and repel negativity. During the festival, I joined my grandparents in temple visits to seek blessings and later appreciated the neighborhood lion dance — vibrant performers moved to the rhythm of drums.
Beyond festivities, it’s a cherished time to bond with loved ones, honor traditions, and embrace cultural roots. I’m proud this global acknowledgment preserves our legacy. If you ever visit, I’d love to share this magic with you.

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。
It was a bitterly cold winter morning. Lisa, a single mother of two, was on her way to the grocery store. With a tight budget, she was carefully planning her purchases to make ends meet for the week. Her old car had broken down again, and she had to rely on public transportation, which added extra time and inconvenience to her daily tasks.
As she got off the bus, juggling two large shopping bags and trying to keep her balance on the slippery sidewalk, she accidentally dropped one of the bags. Cans and boxes spilled everywhere. Those were what she wanted to return to the grocery store. Embarrassed and frustrated, Lisa felt tears welling up in her eyes.
Just then, a man named Jack, who was passing by, stopped in his tracks. Without hesitation, he started gathering the scattered (分散的) items. Jack helped Lisa repack the bag and carried it for her all the way to the grocery store entrance. During the short walk, they made small talk. Lisa mentioned her struggles with raising two children on her own and the constant financial stress. Jack listened attentively, nodding empathetically.
At the store entrance, Jack handed the bag back to Lisa. “I hope things get better for you,” he said sincerely. Then, he reached into his pocket, pulled out a small envelope, and pressed it into Lisa’s hand. “This might help a little,” he added before walking away, leaving Lisa astonished.
When Lisa opened the envelope, she found a hundred-dollar bill inside. Overwhelmed with gratitude, she stood there for a long while, not knowing how to process what had just happened. This simple act of kindness from a complete stranger had touched her deeply.
Determined to pay it forward, Lisa decided to use part of the money to buy some extra groceries and donate them to the local food bank. She also volunteered to help at the community center after dropping her kids off at school.
注意:

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Months later, Lisa was at a local park with her children. While the kids were playing on the swings, she noticed a woman struggling to carry a stroller up a set of steps. The woman looked exhausted, and Lisa could see the frustration on her face. Remembering Jack’s kindness, she immediately rushed over to help. As they chatted, Lisa learned that the woman, like her, was a single mother facing financial difficulties. Without hesitation, Lisa took out some money from her purse and gave it to the woman, saying, “I’ve been in your shoes, and I know how tough it can be. This is to help you out a bit.” The woman was stunned, tears welling up in her eyes.
Listening to what Lisa had done, Jack was deeply moved. It turned out that Jack, who happened to be at the park that day, had witnessed the whole scene and decided to approach Lisa. He thanked her for spreading the kindness he had shown her. “I never expected my small gesture to have such a far-reaching impact,” Jack said. Lisa smiled and replied, “Your kindness changed my life. It made me realize that even in the darkest times, there is always hope, and we should all do our part to help others.” From that day on, Jack and Lisa became good friends, working together to help those in need in their community, continuing to pass on the spirit of kindness.

The waiting room was crowded with little kids and their parents, but I knew this was something I, a housewife, needed to start doing.
When my name was called, I entered the small room, wiping the sweat from my palms.
“Oh!” the young woman greeted me. “I wasn’t expecting to see any, uh... adults!”
When my friends turned fifty, they did exciting things to celebrate, like a trip to the sunny south, a fancy dinner or a new hairstyle. I decided to learn to play the cello (大提琴).
I had heard that learning a musical instrument boosts brainpower, so to fight against my ageing, I went to the music store to peruse the options. Never having played strings before, I rented a cello to see what I thought, and it was love at first note.
My new cello teacher was as young as my daughter, and as she handed me the cello music, she inquired as to how long I’d been playing. “I just started,” I mumbled.
“I guess we’ll start you off like my other students,” she said, handing me a book full of photos of four-year-old cellists.
I started lessons two years ago, and now I play every day. Eagerly, I anticipate my cello practice time every evening, craving it, and loving the calm that always arrives. I have no idea how much I will enjoy the cello and how much I need it. I’m not sure where this cello playing will take me, but I love mentioning casually in conversation, “Yeah, I was just playing my cello today...”
Recently, I played with a group of musicians. To my surprise, people applauded at the end. My friends’ new hairstyles have all grown back. Their trips are nothing but memories, but I have dents(凹痕) in my fingers and a strategy for keeping calm for the next thirty years until I find another new instrument to try.
24. How did the author feel when she entered the music room?
A. Shocked. B. Calm. C. Confident. D. Nervous.
25 Why did the author choose to learn music at fifty?
A. To make her childhood dream come true.
B. To maintain her mental abilities.
C. To satisfy the expectation of her family.
D. To try something different from her friends.
26. Why does the author look forward to practicing the cello every day?
A. She enjoys showing off. B. She wants to impress others.
C. She is preparing for a performance. D. She loves the feeling it brings to her.
27. What can we learn from this story?
A. Every cloud has a silver lining. B. Actions speak louder than words.
C. It’s never too late to follow your heart. D. It’s too late to learn something you like.

A dropped bag of chips disturbed a cave ecosystem in Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico. This cave is almost cut off from the outside world, so introducing anything foreign can be harmful. “Things in the damp cave get wet quickly,” says park guide Ashley. The snack attracts tiny organisms, causing unwanted growth. Soon, small animals like crickets and spiders came to eat, spreading the pollution. Rangers found the bag within hours. “But that can be all it takes,”says Ashley. “I’m sure some crickets got a bit of the snack.”
Over 500 million people visit American public lands each year, creating many chances to harm wild places. “When you look at the numbers, it’s incredible,” says Watts, head of the Leave No Trace Center in Colorado, an organization aimed at minimizing human impact on nature.
Food waste takes a long time to break down, especially in certain areas. “It takes much longer for an apple core to rot in a desert than in a forest,” says Blye, a teacher at the University of Utah. Leaving waste introduces animals to an unnatural diet and changes their behavior with sometimes disastrous results. Bears who taste garbage and become a threat to humans may have to be put down. “Bears can get used to unnatural food in three weeks,” says Watts. “Everyone loses in this case.”
Biological waste is also problematic. Dog waste brings new bacteria into the ecosystem and scares away deer. Meanwhile, human waste and toilet paper introduces dangerous bacteria into water sources.
In national parks, trails (小路) are designed to avoid sensitive areas. Stepping off the trail, even for a quick photo, can scare wildlife away. Impacts from many visitors result in long-term damage to nature and wildlife. But people don’t think of that when they see the perfect photo opportunity. “It’s just such a hard thing to resist,” says Blye. The risk to sensitive ecosystems isn’t obvious. “It’s easy to think, oh, there’s wildflowers over there. I shouldn’t step on that,” says Blye, but these tiny ecosystems full of microscopic organisms essential to desert life provide many benefits, including reducing the risk of erosion (侵蚀) and helping absorb rainfall, and can take hundreds of years to return to its original state.
28. What does Ashley mean by “But that can be all it takes.”?
A. The rangers’ work is efficient. B. The damage has been done.
C. The cleanup takes a long time. D. The pollution has spread widely.
29. What is a result of foreign waste in public lands?
A. A shift in animal behavior. B. A shortage of food supplies.
C. A decline in bacterial species. D. An increase in regional conflicts.
30. Why does the writer mention wildflowers in paragraph 5?
A. To praise their benefits to desert life.
B. To highlight our damage to ecosystems.
C. To stress their significance for photography.
D. To show our unawareness of nature’s sensitivity.
31. It is conveyed in this passage that we should .
A. encourage wildlife protection B. leave no trace in the wild
C. promote national park tourism D. restore ecological damage
D
Killer whales hunt fish with sounds as clicks and buzzes — they choose and chase their prey with sound waves. But a common feature of modern ocean life may be like a salmon’s invisible cloak (隐形斗篷), making the whales’ favorite meal harder to find. What is to blame? Boat traffic noise.
Ocean noise has been increasing over the years, and an international research team recently reported in Global Change Biology that when the water got too noisy, whales spent more time looking for food but caught fewer fish. The study tracked every move and sound that individual killer whales made, as well as the sound reaching those whales. This is the first time scientists have linked noise reaching a given killer whale to their foraging (觅食) success, says lead author Jennifer Tennessen.
The noise problem is one that Tennessen views as chronic, yet possibly more straightforward to fix than declining fish populations or pollution — ships could simply slow down to make less noise. Fortunately, with the guidance of both governmental and nongovernmental groups, some ship operators are slowing down.
The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority in Canada reported in 2023 that 87 percent of ships slowed or moved over for southern resident whales in critical habitat, which led to a decrease of 4.2 decibels (分贝) compared to 2019, before slowdowns began. Washington ports and other local authorities join in a program of voluntary slowdowns in Washington waters called Quiet Sound, which offers information on killer whale locations. About 70 percent of ships follow Quiet Sound’s guidelines and voluntarily slow down in killer whale critical habitat.
The talk about innovations in propeller (螺旋桨) technology is also positive. A propeller, for example, is based on a design for a quieter drone propeller. If claims of a more efficient and quieter boat propeller are true, that’s good news for both reducing fuel use and quieting traffic.
Tennessen says increasing ship noise is a problem in oceans around the world. “We’re finally able to measure the impacts that it’s having on wildlife,” she says, “and we’re finding that the impacts are numerous.”
32. Why does the author mention a salmon’s invisible cloak?
A. To introduce the feature of sound waves.
B. To describe the environment in whales’ hunting.
C. To emphasize the invisibility of salmons’ cloak.
D. To demonstrate the characteristic of whales’ hunting.
33. What do the statistics indicate in paragraph 4?
A Noise reduction is ineffective.
B. Ship operators ignore guidelines.
C. Quiet Sound prioritizes noise monitoring.
D. Voluntary slowdowns lead to noise reduction.
34. What is the significance of propeller technology innovations?
A. To address noise issues.
B. To reduce fuel efficiency.
C. To follow Quiet Sound’s guidelines.
D. To help measure influences on wildlife.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Ships Slow Down for Whales.
B. Boat Noise Clouds Whale Foraging.
C. Killer Whales Battle Noise Pollution.
D. Technology Innovations Silence Propellers.

It was a bitterly cold winter morning. Lisa, a single mother of two, was on her way to the grocery store. With a tight budget, she was carefully planning her purchases to make ends meet for the week. Her old car had broken down again, and she had to rely on public transportation, which added extra time and inconvenience to her daily tasks.
As she got off the bus, juggling two large shopping bags and trying to keep her balance on the slippery sidewalk, she accidentally dropped one of the bags. Cans and boxes spilled everywhere. Those were what she wanted to return to the grocery store. Embarrassed and frustrated, Lisa felt tears welling up in her eyes.
Just then, a man named Jack, who was passing by, stopped in his tracks. Without hesitation, he started gathering the scattered (分散的) items. Jack helped Lisa repack the bag and carried it for her all the way to the grocery store entrance. During the short walk, they made small talk. Lisa mentioned her struggles with raising two children on her own and the constant financial stress. Jack listened attentively, nodding empathetically.
At the store entrance, Jack handed the bag back to Lisa. “I hope things get better for you,” he said sincerely. Then, he reached into his pocket, pulled out a small envelope, and pressed it into Lisa’s hand. “This might help a little,” he added before walking away, leaving Lisa astonished.
When Lisa opened the envelope, she found a hundred-dollar bill inside. Overwhelmed with gratitude, she stood there for a long while, not knowing how to process what had just happened. This simple act of kindness from a complete stranger had touched her deeply.
Determined to pay it forward, Lisa decided to use part of the money to buy some extra groceries and donate them to the local food bank. She also volunteered to help at the community center after dropping her kids off at school.
