M: Wow! You’re such a quick learner! I’d better take action immediately, just as you suggested! Thanks for the tips!

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳答案。
A
Not only should we study hard, but we should also study smart. The following four books are trying to serve this purpose.
Ultralearning
By Scott Young
Learn a new talent, stay relevant, reinvent yourself, and adapt to whatever the workplace throws your way. Ultralearning offers nine principles to master hard skills quickly. This is the essential guide to future-proof your career and maximize your competitive advantage through self-education.
Make It Stick
By Peter C. Brown
If you want to read a lively and engaging book on the science of learning, this is a must. Make It Stick benefits greatly from its use of stories about people who have achieved mastery of complex knowledge and skills. The book weaves together stories from a lot of learners to illustrate how successful learning takes place.
A Mind for Numbers
By Barbara Oakley
Whether you are a student struggling to fulfill a math or science requirement, or you are embarking on a career change that requires a new skill set, A Mind for Numbers offers the tools you need to get a better grasp of that frightening material. In A Mind for Numbers, Dr. Oakley reveals the secrets to learning effectively—secrets that even dedicated and successful students wish they’d known earlier.
Learn More, Study Less
By Scott Young
How can you learn faster? The secret is holistic learning. Holistic learning is the process of learning by making connections. Most students try to memorize information by repeating ideas. This can work—but it’s incredibly slow. Holistic learners try to link ideas together. This forms a web of knowledge which can allow you to remember things you’d otherwise forget.
21. How does Make It Stick introduce the methods of learning?
A. By giving some examples. B. By quoting some experts.
C. By explaining some theories. D. By analyzing some phenomena.
22. What is the key to holistic learning?
A. Collecting data. B. Establishing links.
C. Creating new ideas. D. Revising old materials.
23. What do the four books have in common?
A. They focus on school subjects. B. They share learning strategies.
C. They encourage self-education. D. They teach practical work skills.

B
In 2004, when Claire Burnside Och was in college, she waited tables at a high-end restaurant. One night, she had a group of 12, and a man at the table ordered two bottles of expensive wine. Burnside Och dreaded opening wine, because she had a history of doing it wrong.
When she began to open the bottle, she looked down and realized she had broken the cork (木塞) — half was now stuck in her corkscrew, and the other half was stuck in the bottle.
“I’m terribly nervous and terrified,” she remembered. But instead of acting annoyed, the man handled her mistake with decorum.
“He just places his hands on the bottle, and looks at me and says, ‘I got it’.” He took the wine, turned away from the table so no one else could see, and tried to pull out the cork. But by then, all he could do was push the rest of it into the bottle.
“So now there’s a half a cork floating in this beautiful bottle of wine,” Burnside Och said.
She was expecting all the possible terrible results. “He’s going to want it replaced. He’s going to talk to my manager. It’s going to come out of my check,” she remembered thinking. “There’s no way he’s going to drink this.”
Instead, the man poured himself a glass of wine with tiny bits of cork, and proceeded to drink it. Then he continued to put her mind at ease.
“He leaned over and said, ‘Don’t worry, it happens,’ she recalled.” And he turned to his guests and he started pouring them wine, and everything was fine.
Today, Burnside Och often hears the man’s voice in her own as she responds to someone else’s mistakes. When her two young daughters break something by accident, or a server spills something on her clothes, she lets them know that it’s just a mistake; they don’t need to worry.
“It happens. I got it” she tells them.
24. What happened to Claire Burnside Och one night?
A. She annoyed a man with a silly mistake.
B. She pushed a cork into a bottle of wine.
C. She opened the wrong bottle of the wine.
D. She broke a cork while opening the bottle.
25. What does the underlined word “decorum” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Serious tone. B. Formal language.
C. Good manners. D. Unusual behaviour.
26. Which of the following words best describe the man?
A. Intelligent and interesting. B. Humorous and easy-going.
C. Optimistic and careful. D. Gentle and considerate.
27 What message does the author try to convey by writing the text?
A. Make your enemy your friends.
B. To err is human, to forgive is divine.
C. Help those in need within your ability.
D. Handle a conflict in a peaceful manner.
【答案】24. D 25. C 26. D 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Claire Burnside Och在餐厅工作时因打开酒瓶不当而弄坏木塞,一位男士以宽容和礼貌的方式处理了这一失误的故事。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“When she began to open the bottle, she looked down and realized she had broken the cork (木塞) — half was now stuck in her corkscrew, and the other half was stuck in the bottle. (当她开始打开瓶子时,她低头一看,发现木塞坏了——一半卡在开瓶器里,另一半卡在瓶子里。)”可知,Claire Burnside Och在打开酒瓶时弄坏了木塞。故选D。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“But instead of acting annoyed, the man handled her mistake with decorum. (但这位男士并没有表现出恼怒,而是以decorum的方式处理了她的错误。)”和第七段“Instead, the man poured himself a glass of wine with tiny bits of cork, and proceeded to drink it. Then he continued to put her mind at ease. (然而,那位男士却给自己倒了一杯带有细小木塞碎屑的酒,然后若无其事地喝了下去。接着,他继续让她放宽心。)”可知,男士没有表现出恼怒,而是以一种有礼貌的方式处理了她的错误,由此可知,划线词decorum意为“礼貌,得体”,与C选项Good manners“良好的举止”意思相近。故选C。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“But instead of acting annoyed, the man handled her mistake with decorum. (但这位男士并没有表现出恼怒,而是以一种有礼貌的方式处理了她的错误。)”以及第七段中“Then he continued to put her mind at ease. (然后他继续让她放心。)”以及倒数第三段中“He leaned over and said, ‘Don’t worry, it happens,’ she recalled. (他俯下身来说,‘别担心,这种事经常发生,’她回忆说。)”可知,这位男士以一种有礼貌的方式处理了Claire Burnside Och的错误,并且安慰她不要担心,由此可知,他是一个温和体贴的人。故选D。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是根据倒数第二段“Today, Burnside Och often hears the man’s voice in her own as she responds to someone else’s mistakes. When her two young daughters break something by accident, or a server spills something on her clothes, she lets them know that it’s just a mistake; they don’t need to worry. (如今,Burnside Och在回应别人的失误时,常常会听到当年那位男士的话在自己耳边响起。当她的两个小女儿不小心打碎东西,或是服务员把饮料洒在她衣服上时,她会告诉对方这只是个失误,不必担心。)”可知,文章讲述Claire Burnside Och在餐厅工作时因打开酒瓶不当而弄坏木塞,一位男士以宽容和礼貌的方式处理了这一失误的故事可知,作者通过写这篇文章想要传达的信息是“人非圣贤,孰能无过;宽以待人,方显大度”。故选B。
C
Children at age 7 often display a mix of curiosity, creativity, and frankness. Their honesty can feel both refreshing and, at times, embarrassing.
“I think your cooking smells strange,” my 7-year-old said one evening, as I set dinner in front of her. She wasn’t trying to be hurtful; she was simply stating her truth. While my initial reaction was a mix of amusement and mild offense, it got me thinking about why kids of this age are often so unapologetically honest. Unlike adults, who frequently filter (过滤) their thoughts to preserve social harmony, kids at this age tend to say what’s on their minds.
Understanding honesty in children requires us to consider their cognitive (认知的) and emotional development. Around age 7, a child’s prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮质), which governs decision-making and impulse control, is still maturing. This means they’re less likely to engage in the kind of complicated thinking required to weigh the social consequences of their words. For them, honesty is not just a value — it’s often their default setting.
This stage of childhood also provides clues to how honesty and empathy evolve hand in hand. Seven-year-olds are beginning to grasp the concept of “white lies” — the small untruths we tell to protect others’ feelings. Once, after commenting on my “messy” hair, my daughter quickly added, “But it’s OK! I think messy hair looks cool sometimes!” Her attempt to soften her criticism showed her awareness of how words impact others.
Living with a 7-year-old has reminded me of the beauty of unfiltered expression. Their frank remarks, though occasionally humbling, invite us to embrace a more open and honest way of being. They challenge us to meet them where they are — in a place of curiosity, exploration, and truth — and to grow alongside them. In their honesty, 7-year-olds remind us of something invaluable: the freedom to speak our truth, and the grace to hear it in return.
28. Why does the author mention her daughter’s judging her cooking?
A. To show children usually tell the truth.
B. To show children’s honesty is unwelcome.
C. To prove children tend to ignore others’ feelings.
D. To prove children’s words are unpleasant to hear.
29. What can we learn about white lies?
A. They can be hurtful indeed. B. They reflect the objective reality.
C. They hide unpleasant truths. D. They focus on the negative side.
30. What does the author think of children’s frank remarks?
A. They should be avoided. B. They deserve to be treasured.
C. They are white lies indeed. D. They make us feel uncomfortable.
31. What is the main message conveyed in the passage?
A. Adults should strictly teach children social etiquette early.
B. Filtered communication is essential for maintaining relationships.
C. Childhood honesty reveals both cognitive limits and emotional growth.
D. Parents must correct children’s bluntness to prevent embarrassment.
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B 31. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了7岁孩子常显好奇、创造力与坦率,其诚实因前额叶皮质未成熟,较少虑及社交后果。他们开始理解“善意谎言”,其未过滤的表达提醒人们拥抱坦诚,与孩子共同成长。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段““I think your cooking smells strange,” my 7-year-old said one evening, as I set dinner in front of her. She wasn’t trying to be hurtful; she was simply stating her truth. While my initial reaction was a mix of amusement and mild offense, it got me thinking about why kids of this age are often so unapologetically honest. (一天晚上,当我把晚餐摆到她面前时,我 7 岁的女儿说道:“我觉得你做的饭菜闻起来怪怪的。”她并非有意伤害我,只是在如实表达自己的看法。起初,我的反应是既觉得好笑又有些微的恼怒,但这也让我思考起为什么这个年龄段的孩子往往如此坦率地表达自己的真实想法。)”可知,作者提到她女儿对她的厨艺的评价是为了表明孩子通常会说实话。故选A。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Seven-year-olds are beginning to grasp the concept of “white lies” — the small untruths we tell to protect others’ feelings. Once, after commenting on my “messy” hair, my daughter quickly added, “But it’s OK! I think messy hair looks cool sometimes!” Her attempt to soften her criticism showed her awareness of how words impact others. (七岁的孩子已经开始理解“善意的谎言”这一概念——即我们为了保护他人感受而说的那些小的不实之言。有一次,我评论说女儿的头发很乱,她随即补充道:“不过没关系!我觉得有些乱乱的头发有时还挺酷的!”她试图淡化自己的批评,这表明她已经意识到了言语对他人的影响。)”可知,善意的谎言是为了掩盖不愉快的事实。故选C。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“They challenge us to meet them where they are — in a place of curiosity, exploration, and truth — and to grow alongside them. In their honesty, 7-year-olds remind us of something invaluable: the freedom to speak our truth, and the grace to hear it in return. (他们鼓励我们去接纳孩子的现状——即充满好奇、探索和真实的状态——并与他们一同成长。在他们的坦诚中,7 岁的孩子让我们领悟到一些极其珍贵的东西:自由地表达自己的真实想法,以及以宽容的心态去倾听对方的想法。)”可知,作者认为孩子们的直率言论值得被珍视。故选B。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Living with a 7-year-old has reminded me of the beauty of unfiltered expression. Their frank remarks, though occasionally humbling, invite us to embrace a more open and honest way of being. (与一个七岁孩子共同生活让我想起了未经修饰表达的美妙之处。他们的直言不讳,尽管有时会让我们感到有些难堪,却也邀请我们去拥抱一种更加开放和诚实的生活方式。)”以及文章主要说明了7岁孩子常显好奇、创造力与坦率,其诚实因前额叶皮质未成熟,较少虑及社交后果。他们开始理解“善意谎言”,其未过滤的表达提醒人们拥抱坦诚,与孩子共同成长。可知,这篇文章所传达的主要信息是幼年时期的诚实既展现了认知上的局限性,也促进了情感上的成长。故选C。
D
Scientists in Australia have used Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help them locate a rare bird called the Plains-wanderer. This new information will help scientists protect the birds, which are endangered.
The Plains-wanderer is a small bird that lives in Australia’s grasslands. The birds were once common in eastern Australia, but that’s changed, as grasslands have been turned into farms and cities. Zoos Victoria, the group behind the recent effort to locate Plains-wanderers, says the birds’ numbers have fallen by over 85% in recent decades. Scientists believe there are now only 250 to 1,000 of the birds left in the wild.
Zoos Victoria says, “There is no bird like it in the world.” The odd little birds are only about six inches (15 centimeters) tall. They spend most of their time on the ground. When they feel threatened, they crouch down to hide and they normally choose to run away rather than fly.
One thing that makes Plains-wanderers unusual is that the females are larger, and are in charge of protecting the territory. The male birds are smaller and take care of the eggs.
To protect these rare birds, scientists first had to learn where they were. So Zoos Victoria worked with Queensland University of Technology on a plan to locate the birds. Since Plains-wanderers are hard to spot, the team chose to “listen” for the birds instead.
Female Plains-wanderers make an unusual “Ooom” call, and this was the key to locating them. The researchers set up 35 special recording devices called “song meters” in nine different grassy areas where Plains-wanderers could possibly have been. Song meters record all the sounds made in an area over a long period of time.
The song meters collected tens of thousands of hours of recordings far more than humans could analyze. So the researchers fed the recordings to an AI system trained to identify the calls of Plains-wanderers.
Then the AI system will locate the birds and the new information it provides will help scientists protect the birds.
32. What has made the number of Plains-wanderers fall?
A. Climate change. B. People’s hunting.
C. The loss of their habitat. D. Environmental pollution.
33. What can we learn about Plains-wanderers?
A. They are large in size. B. They’re not good at flying.
C. They have excellent hearing. D. They mainly live on the water.
34. What’s the purpose of song meters?
A. To collect Plains-wanderers’ sounds.
B. To analyze Plains-wanderers’ sounds.
C. To promote Plains-wanderers’ growth.
D. To observe Plains-wanderers’ activities.
35. What would be the best title for the text?
A. AI System Has Been Used to Feed Rare Birds
B. Plains-wanderers Are in the Face of Extinction
C. Scientists Use AI to Track Down Endangered Birds
D. “Song Meters” Help Scientists Research Rare Birds
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍澳大利亚科学家利用人工智能定位濒危的Plains-wanderers鸟的相关情况。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The birds were once common in eastern Australia, but that’s changed, as grasslands have been turned into farms and cities.(这种鸟曾经在澳大利亚东部很常见,但随着草原变成农场和城市,情况发生了变化。)”等内容可知,草原变为农场和城市导致其栖息地丧失,这是Plains-wanderers鸟的数量下降的原因。故选C项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“When they feel threatened, they crouch down to hide and they normally choose to run away rather than fly.(当它们感到受到威胁时,会蹲下来躲藏,通常选择逃跑而不是飞翔。)”可知,这种鸟通常选择逃跑而非飞翔,说明它们不擅长飞行。故选B项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段中的“The researchers set up 35 special recording devices called “song meters” in nine different grassy areas where Plains-wanderers could possibly have been. Song meters record all the sounds made in an area over a long period of time. (研究人员在9个可能有Plains-wanderers鸟的不同草地地区设置了35个名为“歌曲测量仪”的特殊记录设备。歌曲测量仪可以长时间记录一个地区内的所有声音。)”可知,歌曲测量仪的用途是收集Plains-wanderers鸟的声音。故选A项。
【35题详解】

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。
I always had a tough time in school. My father had put it best: “Some kids are good in school, and some aren’t. You’re just one of the kids who isn’t.” But I wasn’t satisfied with that answer.
Ever since the first day of school, it had been drilled into my brain that I must work for academic success. Our principal told us many times about striving for greatness.
But school wasn’t the worst of my troubles; my time at home had the greatest effect on me. Whether it was the glowing reports on my brothers, or even the A’s and B’s on their report cards, I felt I wasn’t as good. That I was inferior.
By fourth grade, my self-confidence had dropped considerably and I became depressed. As I only had a couple of friends, and I wasn’t even sure if they liked me, I had no one to talk to. I would lie awake at night and wonder if my life had some meaning. Weren’t my brothers embarrassed by me? Did they see me as the failure of the family? The black sheep? Tears would soak my pillow.
In high school, without special education, I had to find new ways to help myself do better in school. But the pain from the past six years had caught up with me, and I hated studying. I had had enough failure in my life. Why add more salt to the wound?
One night during my sophomore year, I was working with my math teacher. I just wasn’t getting it, and it had been going on like that for a few weeks. My teacher finally had it, and started shouting at me in front of the entire crowd of kids. “How dumb can you be? We’ve been reviewing the same four math steps for three weeks now. If you don’t start shaping up soon, you’ll end up being a failure. “It was the first time that someone had said “You’re a failure” right to my face.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I stormed out of the room and went back home, throwing myself into my mother’s arms.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
My mother’s words cheered me up and I decided to make a new beginning.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
I stormed out of the room and went back home, throwing myself into my mother’s arms. Hugging me tightly and patting me on the back, my mother asked what had happened to me. I burst into tears and told everything to her, asking when the pain and disappointment would end. With a warm and determined voice, my mother comforted me. “You are not a failure,” she whispered. “Everyone has their own pace and strengths. What really matters is not how others judge you but how you judge yourself. Everyone under heaven is born with a useful talent.”
My mother’s words cheered me up and I decided to make a new beginning. Yes, everyone is useful in this world. I started setting small, achievable goals for myself and gradually built up my confidence. With renewed determination, I sought help from teachers and classmates, who were more than willing to lend a hand. Slowly but surely, my grades began to improve, and I even made some new friends. The darkness that had once consumed me was replaced by a glimmer of hope, and I began to believe that I could overcome any obstacle that came my way.

Not only should we study hard, but we should also study smart. The following four books are trying to serve this purpose.
Ultralearning
By Scott Young
Learn a new talent, stay relevant, reinvent yourself, and adapt to whatever the workplace throws your way. Ultralearning offers nine principles to master hard skills quickly. This is the essential guide to future-proof your career and maximize your competitive advantage through self-education.
Make It Stick
By Peter C. Brown
If you want to read a lively and engaging book on the science of learning, this is a must. Make It Stick benefits greatly from its use of stories about people who have achieved mastery of complex knowledge and skills. The book weaves together stories from a lot of learners to illustrate how successful learning takes place.
A Mind for Numbers
By Barbara Oakley
Whether you are a student struggling to fulfill a math or science requirement, or you are embarking on a career change that requires a new skill set, A Mind for Numbers offers the tools you need to get a better grasp of that frightening material. In A Mind for Numbers, Dr. Oakley reveals the secrets to learning effectively—secrets that even dedicated and successful students wish they’d known earlier.
Learn More, Study Less
By Scott Young
How can you learn faster? The secret is holistic learning. Holistic learning is the process of learning by making connections. Most students try to memorize information by repeating ideas. This can work—but it’s incredibly slow. Holistic learners try to link ideas together. This forms a web of knowledge which can allow you to remember things you’d otherwise forget.
21. How does Make It Stick introduce the methods of learning?
A. By giving some examples. B. By quoting some experts.
C. By explaining some theories. D. By analyzing some phenomena.
22. What is the key to holistic learning?
A. Collecting data. B. Establishing links.
C. Creating new ideas. D. Revising old materials.
23. What do the four books have in common?
A. They focus on school subjects. B. They share learning strategies.
C. They encourage self-education. D. They teach practical work skills.
B
In 2004, when Claire Burnside Och was in college, she waited tables at a high-end restaurant. One night, she had a group of 12, and a man at the table ordered two bottles of expensive wine. Burnside Och dreaded opening wine, because she had a history of doing it wrong.
When she began to open the bottle, she looked down and realized she had broken the cork (木塞) — half was now stuck in her corkscrew, and the other half was stuck in the bottle.
“I’m terribly nervous and terrified,” she remembered. But instead of acting annoyed, the man handled her mistake with decorum.
“He just places his hands on the bottle, and looks at me and says, ‘I got it’.” He took the wine, turned away from the table so no one else could see, and tried to pull out the cork. But by then, all he could do was push the rest of it into the bottle.
“So now there’s a half a cork floating in this beautiful bottle of wine,” Burnside Och said.
She was expecting all the possible terrible results. “He’s going to want it replaced. He’s going to talk to my manager. It’s going to come out of my check,” she remembered thinking. “There’s no way he’s going to drink this.”
Instead, the man poured himself a glass of wine with tiny bits of cork, and proceeded to drink it. Then he continued to put her mind at ease.
“He leaned over and said, ‘Don’t worry, it happens,’ she recalled.” And he turned to his guests and he started pouring them wine, and everything was fine.
Today, Burnside Och often hears the man’s voice in her own as she responds to someone else’s mistakes. When her two young daughters break something by accident, or a server spills something on her clothes, she lets them know that it’s just a mistake; they don’t need to worry.
“It happens. I got it,” she tells them.
24. What happened to Claire Burnside Och one night?
A. She annoyed a man with a silly mistake.
B. She pushed a cork into a bottle of wine.
C. She opened the wrong bottle of the wine.
D. She broke a cork while opening the bottle.
25. What does the underlined word “decorum” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Serious tone. B. Formal language.
C. Good manners. D. Unusual behaviour.
26. Which of the following words best describe the man?
A. Intelligent and interesting. B. Humorous and easy-going.
C. Optimistic and careful. D. Gentle and considerate.
27. What message does the author try to convey by writing the text?
A. Make your enemy your friends.
B. To err is human, to forgive is divine.
C. Help those in need within your ability.
D. Handle a conflict in a peaceful manner.
C
Children at age 7 often display a mix of curiosity, creativity, and frankness. Their honesty can feel both refreshing and, at times, embarrassing.
“I think your cooking smells strange,” my 7-year-old said one evening, as I set dinner in front of her. She wasn’t trying to be hurtful; she was simply stating her truth. While my initial reaction was a mix of amusement and mild offense, it got me thinking about why kids of this age are often so unapologetically honest. Unlike adults, who frequently filter (过滤) their thoughts to preserve social harmony, kids at this age tend to say what’s on their minds.
Understanding honesty in children requires us to consider their cognitive (认知的) and emotional development. Around age 7, a child’s prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮质), which governs decision-making and impulse control, is still maturing. This means they’re less likely to engage in the kind of complicated thinking required to weigh the social consequences of their words. For them, honesty is not just a value — it’s often their default setting.
This stage of childhood also provides clues to how honesty and empathy evolve hand in hand. Seven-year-olds are beginning to grasp the concept of “white lies” — the small untruths we tell to protect others’ feelings. Once, after commenting on my “messy” hair, my daughter quickly added, “But it’s OK! I think messy hair looks cool sometimes!” Her attempt to soften her criticism showed her awareness of how words impact others.
Living with a 7-year-old has reminded me of the beauty of unfiltered expression. Their frank remarks, though occasionally humbling, invite us to embrace a more open and honest way of being. They challenge us to meet them where they are — in a place of curiosity, exploration, and truth — and to grow alongside them. In their honesty, 7-year-olds remind us of something invaluable: the freedom to speak our truth, and the grace to hear it in return.
28. Why does the author mention her daughter’s judging her cooking?
A. To show children usually tell the truth.
B. To show children’s honesty is unwelcome.
C. To prove children tend to ignore others’ feelings.
D. To prove children’s words are unpleasant to hear.
29. What can we learn about white lies?
A. They can be hurtful indeed. B. They reflect the objective reality.
C. They hide unpleasant truths. D. They focus on the negative side.
30. What does the author think of children’s frank remarks?
A. They should be avoided. B. They deserve to be treasured.
C. They are white lies indeed. D. They make us feel uncomfortable.
31. What is the main message conveyed in the passage?
A. Adults should strictly teach children social etiquette early.
B. Filtered communication is essential for maintaining relationships.
C. Childhood honesty reveals both cognitive limits and emotional growth.
D Parents must correct children’s bluntness to prevent embarrassment.
D
Scientists in Australia have used Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help them locate a rare bird called the Plains-wanderer. This new information will help scientists protect the birds, which are endangered.
The Plains-wanderer is a small bird that lives in Australia’s grasslands. The birds were once common in eastern Australia, but that’s changed, as grasslands have been turned into farms and cities. Zoos Victoria, the group behind the recent effort to locate Plains-wanderers, says the birds’ numbers have fallen by over 85% in recent decades. Scientists believe there are now only 250 to 1,000 of the birds left in the wild.
Zoos Victoria says, “There is no bird like it in the world.” The odd little birds are only about six inches (15 centimeters) tall. They spend most of their time on the ground. When they feel threatened, they crouch down to hide and they normally choose to run away rather than fly.
One thing that makes Plains-wanderers unusual is that the females are larger, and are in charge of protecting the territory. The male birds are smaller and take care of the eggs.
To protect these rare birds, scientists first had to learn where they were. So Zoos Victoria worked with Queensland University of Technology on a plan to locate the birds. Since Plains-wanderers are hard to spot, the team chose to “listen” for the birds instead.
Female Plains-wanderers make an unusual “Ooom” call and this was the key to locating them. The researchers set up 35 special recording devices called “song meters” in nine different grassy areas where Plains-wanderers could possibly have been. Song meters record all the sounds made in an area over a long period of time.
The song meters collected tens of thousands of hours of recordings far more than humans could analyze. So the researchers fed the recordings to an AI system trained to identify the calls of Plains-wanderers.
Then the AI system will locate the birds and the new information it provides will help scientists protect the birds.
32. What has made the number of Plains-wanderers fall?
A. Climate change. B. People’s hunting.
C. The loss of their habitat. D. Environmental pollution.
33. What can we learn about Plains-wanderers?
A. They are large in size. B. They’re not good at flying.
C. They have excellent hearing. D. They mainly live on the water.
34. What’s the purpose of song meters?
A. To collect Plains-wanderers’ sounds.
B. To analyze Plains-wanderers’ sounds.
C. To promote Plains-wanderers’ growth.
D. To observe Plains-wanderers’ activities.
35. What would be the best title for the text?
A. AI System Has Been Used to Feed Rare Birds
B. Plains-wanderers Are in the Face of Extinction
C. Scientists Use AI to Track Down Endangered Birds
D. “Song Meters” Help Scientists Research Rare Birds

I always had a tough time in school. My father had put it best: “Some kids are good in school, and some aren’t. You’re just one of the kids who isn’t.” But I wasn’t satisfied with that answer.
Ever since the first day of school, it had been drilled into my brain that I must work for academic success. Our principal told us many times about striving for greatness.
But school wasn’t the worst of my troubles; my time at home had the greatest effect on me. Whether it was the glowing reports on my brothers or even the A’s and B’s on their report cards, I felt I wasn’t as good. That I was inferior.

If you don’t start shaping up soon, you’ll end up being a failure. “It was the first time that someone had said “You’re a failure” right to my face.
