Animals can express their needs using a lot of ways. For instance almost all animals have distinct vocals (声音) that they rely on to either ask for help, scare away any dangerous animals or look for shelter. But cats are special creatures who possess amazing vocalization skills. They are able to have entire conversations with humans using meows and you're able to interpret it. If a pet cat is hungry, it will keep meowing to attract attention and find food. However, when a cat is looking for affection, they tend to produce stretched and soft meows. Meowing starts as soon as a baby cat is brought to life and uses it to get the mother's attention and be fed.
Cats have many heightened senses, but their sense of smell is quite impressive. They use their noses to assess their environment and look out for any signs of danger. They will sniff out specific areas before they choose a place to relax. However, another way the cats are able to distinguish between situations is by looking for familiar smells. Your cat will likely smell your face and store the smell in its memory and use it to recognize you in the future. That's why most pet cats are able to tell immediately if their owners were around any other cats, which they don't usually like.
Dogs are known for their impressive fetching habit, but cats take this behavior up a notch. Many cats will find random objects outside and bring them to their owners. This is a very old habit that's been present in all kinds of predators (食肉动物). Cats bring gifts for their owners to show they love you. These adorable little hunters are just doing something that it's been in their nature since the beginning of time. So just go along with it!
4. What can be learned about cats' meowing from the first paragraph?
A. It's a survival skill. B. It's taught by mother cats.
C. It's hard to interpret. D. It's getting louder with age.
5 How does a pet cat assess different situations?

Scientists from UNSW Sydney have developed a groundbreaking method to tackle the common problem of “forever chemicals” in water. These chemicals, known scientifically as polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), are difficult to break down, causing significant environmental and health risks. The new method involves a novel catalyst (催化剂) system that promises a more efficient and sustainable solution, for breaking down these compounds.
PFAS are widely used in various industries due to their resistance to heat, water, and oil. They’re found in products such as cookware, food packaging and clothing. Their widespread use has led to global pollution of water sources and soil. A study has shown that almost half of America tap water is polluted with alarming levels of PFAS, raising concerns about their environmental and health impacts. PFAS are called “forever chemicals” because their stable chemical structure makes them resistant to degradation. That means they persist in the environment and accumulate in the human body, potentially leading to harmful health outcomes.
Current methods to remove PFAS from water such as activated carbon absorption have significant deficiencies. Activated carbon can absorb PFAS but requires burning to destroy the chemicals, which is environmentally harmful. Oxidizing agents can break down PFAS into smaller, more persistent structures, complicating the removal process. These methods are inefficient and not environmentally friendly, highlighting the need for better solutions.
The catalyst system developed by Dr. Jun Sun can break the strong carbon-fluoride (强碳氟键) bonds in PFAS, using nano zero-valent metals (纳米零价金属) combined with a catalyst inspired by the structure of vitamin B12. The system was tested on common PFAS compounds like branched PFOS, showing impressive results.
Dr. Sun explained, “The new system we’ve developed shows successful PFAS measures to solve water pollution in the lab, which we hope to eventually test at larger scales.” Within five hours, the new method achieved a 75% breakdown of PFAS, significantly outperforming existing B12-based catalysts, which managed less than 8% breakdown in the same period.
While further research is needed before the method can be applied on a large scale, the team is optimistic. They plan to conduct more tests and explore integrating the catalyst into electro-chemical cells for broader application.
8. What do we know about PFAS?
A. They are common chemicals.
B. They are harmless compounds.
C. They are widely used in agriculture.
D. They damage the earth in many aspects.
9. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “deficiencies” in Paragraph 3?
A. Strength. B. Shortcoming. C. Difference. D. Diversity.
10. What is the team’s plan for the future of the new method?
A. To find other substitutes of PFAS.
B. To apply it on a large scale immediately.
C. To test it more before putting it to use widely.
D. To develop new chemicals having similar features.
11. What is the main point of the passage?
A. “ Forever chemicals” in water can be broken down.
B. A catalyst system is saving human from disasters.
C. Polluted water will be safe to drink in the future.
D. PFAS can be used in more industries in future.

My name is Lucas van der Zee and I’m working at Wageningen University, the Netherlands. Farming today is not sustainable, with its greenhouse-gas emissions and its destruction of wildlife habitats. Agriculture now takes up half of Earth’s land surface at the expense of these habitats. Therefore, I hope to restore current farmland to its natural state by ending the vegetation stage of crop-growing.
Developing sustainable food production will require multiple approaches. My PhD research at Wageningen University in the Netherlands is inspired by alternative, indoor methods of food production, such as farming leafy green vegetables vertically (垂直地) and growing meat in a laboratory. I wondered if you can grow meat without an animal, can you grow fruit without a plant? This could be done inside, which might help us to return some agricultural land to nature.
During my master’s programme in agricultural engineering, I discussed indoor fruit production with my professor. He invited me to write a master’s thesis (论文) on the subject of growing fruits without the plant. Now, we’re testing this idea.
The main task of my PhD is to collect immature (不成熟的) fruit or flowers from tomato plants, and try to grow them into healthy, high-quality tomatoes in the lab. Ultimately, we want to produce fruit from tomato cells, from which new plant organs can grow and skip using a plant entirely.
I have achieved some of the early results of my research, when I was testing different growing conditions at different stages of tomato development. The lighting is an energy-efficiency measure; we use blue and red LEDs, the best colours for photosynthesis (光合作用).
Some people get excited about the possibilities of my work, but most are hesitant, which I understand. In the past, people have rushed into using food technologies, such as cage-grown chickens and the extensive use of synthetic fertilizer, without considering the potential disadvantages. An important part of my PhD programme will be to assess the sustainability of my method.
12. How are the author’s ways to grow fruit?
A. Expensive. B. Troublesome. C. Convenient. D. Meaningful.
13. What did the author’s professor react to his ways of growing fruit?
A. He showed great interest in them. B. He expressed a little doubt to them.
C. He asked him to practice them quickly. D. He wrote a thesis about the subject.
14. How does the author produce tomatoes?
A. By using only a little agricultural land. B. By using much sun for photosynthesis.
C. By making use of cells from tomatoes. D. By making use of a whole plant.
15. What is the author’s attitude toward past food technologies?
A. Unclear. B. Dismissive. C. Doubtful. D. Approving.
第二节 七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分,共12.5分)
Tennis is an incredibly mental sport. ____16____ But it is also an incredibly difficult sport to play well.
It is very easy to self-destruct (自我毁灭) when playing tennis if you let your expectations and ego get the better of you. So simply playing the ball that is in front of you is the simplest way to approach the game, along with taking each point at a time.
That being said, it is much easier said than done. ____17____ Even if it is as simple as playing to your opponent’s backhand as much as possible, or aiming to hit as many cross court (对角线球) balls as you can, it is important to have a plan of attack if you want to be successful on the court.
____18____ You may have the best plan in the world, but if you aren’t performing well enough to execute it or your opponent cottons on (领悟) what you’re trying to do, you’ll need to adapt, improvise and overcome. Adapting to new conditions, court surfaces, balls and playing styles is all part of becoming a better tennis player!
____19____ This means you need to be incredibly resilient (坚韧的) to play good tennis and overcome hardship. Don’t be too much bothered by some points you lose. Just learn from your mistakes but not let them get you down.
Tennis is also about playing the big points well and understanding that not all points hold the same weight across the course of a match. Putting disappointment behind you and trying to play the next point with a positive attitude can be very difficult to do. ____20____
A. However, being flexible is also important.
B. You will always have to have some form of strategy.
C. However, it is a key part of becoming a better tennis player.
D. It can bring with it a whole host of physical and mental benefits.
E. Every backhand shot you hit is what you throw at your opponent.
F. Perhaps the most obvious benefits tennis offers are the physical ones.
G. The scoring system in tennis means you can win more points and still lose a match!

Allan worked as the janitor (看门人) of an office building. It was 4 p. m.. It was a perfect time to have sandwich outside. He noticed the lid of a bin open. A young boy was chewing on something, and Allan knew he had gotten it from the trash. He produced a fresh sandwich from his lunchbox. After cutting half of it and giving it to the kid, he passed the boy some of his soda as well.
“What’s your name?” he wondered. The boy remained silent. “You can come tomorrow for sandwich and soda, but only if you tell me your name.”
“Christopher,” the boy said shyly. Christopher came back every day and waited for his sandwich. Allan came one day with some kids’ clothes. He couldn’t afford to buy them himself, but he had told his neighbors, William and Jessy, about the kid and wondered if they had anything left over. Fortunately, they did. After two weeks. Allan talked to him more and knew Christopher’s parents died and was homeless. “You can’t live this life forever,” Allan said. “You should be in school, learning. It’s your only chance to succeed. I don’t have much to offer you, but I could find you home.” That night he talked to William and Jessy again. They volunteered to adopt him. Allan witnessed how they formed a family together.
But a few years later, Jessy and William’s older kid landed a job on the other side of the country. He didn’t want his parents so far away. At first, Christopher was reluctant because he didn’t want to go far from Allan. “You should go with them. You can write to me or call me.” Allan encouraged, and the boy trusted him.
Christopher wrote and called regularly firstly, but the communication slowly faded as his life got busier. Allan missed him and his neighbors, but he could only hope they were all doing well.
Many years later, Allan was still working in the same office building. One morning, He was eating his sandwich outside when a car came. A man stepped out and asked, “What kind of sandwich are you having?”
“Christopher!” he shouted wildly.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式作答。
Allan laughed and opened his arms and they embraced tightly.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Christopher said he’d give Allan a gift and asked him to get on his car.

【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“Activated carbon can absorb PFAS but requires burning to destroy the chemicals, which is environmentally harmful. Oxidizing agents can break down PFAS into smaller, more persistent structures, complicating the removal process. These methods are inefficient and not environmentally friendly, highlighting the need for better solutions.(活性炭可以吸收 PFAS,但需要燃烧来破坏这些化学物质,这对环境有害。氧化剂可以将 PFAS 分解成更小、更持久的结构,使去除过程变得复杂。这些方法效率低下且不环保,凸显了对更好解决方案的需求)”可知,此处说的是当前去除 PFAS 方法的不足。所以划线词的意思为“缺点”与shortcoming同义。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“While further research is needed before the method can be applied on a large scale, the team is optimistic. They plan to conduct more tests and explore integrating the catalyst into electro-chemical cells for broader application.(虽然在大规模应用该方法之前还需要进一步研究,但该团队持乐观态度。他们计划进行更多测试,并探索将该催化剂整合到电化学电池中以实现更广泛的应用)”可知,团队未来计划在广泛使用该新方法之前进行更多测试。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,并结合第一段“Scientists from UNSW Sydney have developed a groundbreaking method to tackle the common problem of “forever chemicals” in water. These chemicals, known scientifically as polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), are difficult to break down, causing significant environmental and health risks. The new method involves a novel catalyst (催化剂) system that promises a more efficient and sustainable solution, for breaking down these compounds.(悉尼新南威尔士大学的科学家们研发出一种突破性方法,用于解决水中“永久化学品”这一常见问题。这些被科学称为全氟和多氟烷基物质(PFAS)的化学品难以分解,会造成重大的环境和健康风险。这种新方法采用了一种新型催化剂体系,有望为分解这些化合物提供更高效、更可持续的解决方案)”可知,文章主要介绍了新南威尔士大学悉尼分校的科学家开发出一种突破性方法来处理水中 “永久性化学物质”—— 全氟烷基物质(PFAS)。文章阐述了 PFAS 的广泛使用导致环境污染及对健康的潜在危害,现有处理方法的不足,以及新催化系统分解 PFAS 的原理、效果和未来计划。所以短文主要关于水中的 “永久性化学物质” 是可以被分解的。故选A。
D
My name is Lucas van der Zee and I’m working at Wageningen University, the Netherlands. Farming today is not sustainable, with its greenhouse-gas emissions and its destruction of wildlife habitats. Agriculture now takes up half of Earth’s land surface at the expense of these habitats. Therefore, I hope to restore current farmland to its natural state by ending the vegetation stage of crop-growing.
Developing sustainable food production will require multiple approaches. My PhD research at Wageningen University in the Netherlands is inspired by alternative, indoor methods of food production, such as farming leafy green vegetables vertically (垂直地) and growing meat in a laboratory. I wondered if you can grow meat without an animal, can you grow fruit without a plant? This could be done inside, which might help us to return some agricultural land to nature.
During my master’s programme in agricultural engineering, I discussed indoor fruit production with my professor. He invited me to write a master’s thesis (论文) on the subject of growing fruits without the plant. Now, we’re testing this idea.
The main task of my PhD is to collect immature (不成熟的) fruit or flowers from tomato plants, and try to grow them into healthy, high-quality tomatoes in the lab. Ultimately, we want to produce fruit from tomato cells, from which new plant organs can grow and skip using a plant entirely.
I have achieved some of the early results of my research, when I was testing different growing conditions at different stages of tomato development. The lighting is an energy-efficiency measure; we use blue and red LEDs, the best colours for photosynthesis (光合作用).
Some people get excited about the possibilities of my work, but most are hesitant, which I understand. In the past, people have rushed into using food technologies, such as cage-grown chickens and the extensive use of synthetic fertilizer, without considering the potential disadvantages. An important part of my PhD programme will be to assess the sustainability of my method.
12. How are the author’s ways to grow fruit?
A. Expensive. B. Troublesome. C. Convenient. D. Meaningful.
13. What did the author’s professor react to his ways of growing fruit?
A. He showed great interest in them. B. He expressed a little doubt to them.
C. He asked him to practice them quickly. D. He wrote a thesis about the subject.
14. How does the author produce tomatoes?
A. By using only a little agricultural land. B. By using much sun for photosynthesis.
C. By making use of cells from tomatoes. D. By making use of a whole plant.
15. What is the author’s attitude toward past food technologies?
A. Unclear. B. Dismissive. C. Doubtful. D. Approving.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. C

Tennis is an incredibly mental sport. ____16____ But it is also an incredibly difficult sport to play well.
It is very easy to self-destruct (自我毁灭) when playing tennis if you let your expectations and ego get the better of you. So, simply playing the ball that is in front of you is the simplest way to approach the game, along with taking each point at a time.
That being said, it is much easier said than done. ____17____ Even if it is as simple as playing to your opponent’s backhand as much as possible, or aiming to hit as many cross court (对角线球) balls as you can, it is important to have a plan of attack if you want to be successful on the court.
____18____ You may have the best plan in the world, but if you aren’t performing well enough to execute it or your opponent cottons on (领悟) what you’re trying to do, you’ll need to adapt, improvise and overcome. Adapting to new conditions, court surfaces, balls and playing styles is all part of becoming a better tennis player!
____19____ This means you need to be incredibly resilient (坚韧的) to play good tennis and overcome hardship. Don’t be too much bothered by some points you lose. Just learn from your mistakes but not let them get you down.
Tennis is also about playing the big points well and understanding that not all points hold the same weight across the course of a match. Putting disappointment behind you and trying to play the next point with a positive attitude can be very difficult to do. ____20____
A. However, being flexible is also important.
B. You will always have to have some form of strategy.
C. However, it is a key part of becoming a better tennis player.
D. It can bring with it a whole host of physical and mental benefits.

Allan worked as the janitor (看门人) of an office building. It was 4 p. m.. It was a perfect time to have sandwich outside. He noticed the lid of a bin open. A young boy was chewing on something, and Allan knew he had gotten it from the trash. He produced a fresh sandwich from his lunchbox. After cutting half of it and giving it to the kid, he passed the boy some of his soda as well.
“What’s your name?” he wondered. The boy remained silent. “You can come tomorrow for sandwich and soda, but only if you tell me your name.”
“Christopher,” the boy said shyly. Christopher came back every day and waited for his sandwich. Allan came one day with some kids’ clothes. He couldn’t afford to buy them himself, but he had told his neighbors, William and Jessy, about the kid and wondered if they had anything left over. Fortunately, they did. After two weeks. Allan talked to him more and knew Christopher’s parents died and was homeless. “You can’t live this life forever,” Allan said. “You should be in school, learning. It’s your only chance to succeed. I don’t have much to offer you, but I could find you home.” That night he talked to William and Jessy again. They volunteered to adopt him. Allan witnessed how they formed a family together.
But a few years later, Jessy and William’s older kid landed a job on the other side of the country. He didn’t want his parents so far away. At first, Christopher was reluctant because he didn’t want to go far from Allan. “You should go with them. You can write to me or call me.” Allan encouraged, and the boy trusted him.
Christopher wrote and called regularly firstly, but the communication slowly faded as his life got busier. Allan missed him and his neighbors, but he could only hope they were all doing well.
Many years later, Allan was still working in the same office building. One morning, He was eating his sandwich outside when a car came. A man stepped out and asked, “What kind of sandwich are you having?”
“Christopher!” he shouted wildly.
