Indoor green spaces,even small ones,have benefits for our physical and mental well-being.Easy
to care for and full of charm,these houseplants bring both beauty and wellness into our home.
Peace Lily
The name "peace lily"definitely evokes a sense of calm,but sensitive to drought

eaten,can cause symptoms such as blisters in the mouth,nausea and vomiting,and
severe swelling of the tongue,mouth and eyes.
Snake Plants
Also known as mother-in-law's tongues,the snake plant is known for having tall
leaves that grow vertically.But there are many varieties of snake plants.Some have
striking yellow accents;other types are long and curvy;and still others are cute and
spiky.The plants should only be watered when the soil is dry.Keep them out of reach
of pets,as they're considered toxic to cats and dogs.

Shreya Vemulapalli,a junior at The Harker School,founded nonprofit Cancel.Cancer.
Culture.(CCC)in 2023 to help reveal hidden stories on cancer and encourage open conversations.
Vemulapalli made up her mind to challenge how cancer is viewed after she lost her father to cancer.
While many people hear about cancer survivor stories,the reality for many people like her father,is that
not everyone beats cancer.Vemulapalli thought that the stories of people who lost their lives to cancer
deserve to be shared and can comfort others going through the same experience.Having a community
aids the journey through cancer.
A central focus of CCC is to cultivate this community and make it accessible for those
experiencing cancer.The experience leaves cancer patients emotionally separated from their loved ones.
Through CCC,Vemulapalli has received messages from those who have faced cancer,further stressing
the widespread need for connection.
Reflecting on her own experience,Vemulapalli recalled how she kept her story private,in fear that
it made her different.However,she said she now recognizes the importance in sharing her experience
and encourages others to do the same.
Looking ahead,Vemulapalli is set to release an anthology ()which will feature stories from
cancer patients and survivors,offering diverse perspectives on the disease.CCC plans to host and attend
fundraising events to continue building its community and connect more people.
Though CCC isn't for everyone,Vemulapalli's mission is meant to inspire people of all ages and
backgrounds.She works to demonstrate how one can overcome instead of being overcome in the face of
grief and pain.
24.What motivated Vemulapalli to start CCC?
A.Her interest in medical research.
B.A fundraising event she attended.

Researchers have known for many years that there was more to ancient Greek and Roman statues
than the plain white marble (you typically see in museums.Now,a researcher says there's
another aspect to these statues to consider:how they smelled.
Ancient Greek and Roman sculptures were not just experienced visually.Cecilie Brons,a senior
researcher of the Glyptoteket museum's collection of ancient Greek and Roman art in Copenhagen,
Denmark,says ancient texts provide evidence that statues were often scented with perfumes ()oils
and waxes."These scents (could help promote the interaction between the image and the observer,
without the use of touch,"Brons writes in her article.
A variety of flowers and herbs were used to make the perfumes,but evidence points to rose
perfume being the most widely used type.Some old records show that people used nice-smelling oils on
statues.On a Greek island called Delos,many stones with writing were found,and some of them list
items like oils and perfumes.
It's hard to find physical evidence of scents on statues,as the oils and waxes degrade over time.
One exception is a statue of the Ptolemaic Queen Berenice ll from the third century B.C.Brens said
previous research did not detect a scent,but did detect evidence of beeswax spread on the statue.
Verity Platt,a professor at Comell University's Department of Classics who specializes in Greek
and Roman art history and was not involved in the study,said that among experts in classical studies,
the idea that statues were scented is already well-established.But given the attention the study has
received,it's clear many people hadn't heard about the practice before.
28.Why were scents used in ancient sculptures according to Brens?
A.To show the artist's high social status.
B.To stop viewers from touching the images.
C.To remove unpleasant smells from white marble.
D.To bridge the artwork and the visitors without touch.
29.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.The types of flowers and herbs.
B.The evidence of scenting statues.
C.The process of making perfumes.
D.The discovery of statues on Delos.
30.What does the underlined word"degrade"probably mean?
A.Break down.
B.Show up.
C.Burn down.
D.Mix up.
31.What does Verity Platt's comment on the study suggest?
A.It receives little attention.
B.It is criticized by other professors.
C.It is the first to analyze scents on statues.
D.It has made the practice more widely known.

As climate change leads to more frequent and extreme weather events,water experts from around
the world are urging greater use of digital technology to improve the management of dams and
reservoirs ()At a recent international conference held during the 28th International Commission
on Large Dams (ICOLD)Congress in Chengdu,China,experts emphasized the importance of
modernizing dam systems to face new global challenges.
Michel Lino,president of ICOLD,mentioned the critical role of dams in dealing with global
challenges."We are facing common challenges,"he stressed."Whether it is climate change,aging
infrastructure,water shortage,environmental pressure or extreme weather events,they are not limited to
one country or one region.These problems go beyond borders and call for collective solutions,"he
emphasized.Lino also warned that the engineering standards of traditional dam design and construction
are now being tested by emerging risks,including more intense floods driven by climate change.
China's Vice Minister of Water Resources,Wang Baoen,also noted the vital role of dams in
managing floods,providing water,and supporting ecosystems."But in the face of increasingly extreme
weather events,the growing impact of human activities and the rapid advancement of socioeconomic
development,humanity is faced with significant global challenges in ensuring the high-quality
development and safety of reservoirs,"Wang said.
To tackle these challenges,China has been using advanced information technology to improve dam
monitoring and safety.One of China's latest innovations is the development of"digital twins"-virtual
models that simulate (the behavior and performance of dams under different conditions.These
digital systems help engineers predict problems precisely.They are seen as a cutting-edge solution to
improve dam design,operations and risk management.
Wang said China is committed to sharing its approaches and experience with the global community.
Experts believe that through smarter technology,stronger regulations,and better global coordination,
dams can continue to play a major role in addressing climate challenges and securing a sustainable
future.
32.What is Michel Lino's main point in Paragraph 2?
A.Global challenges require joint efforts worldwide.
B.Traditional dams can no longer deal with new issues.
C.Every country is to blame for extreme weather events.
D.Dams are primarily responsible for environmental issues.
33.Which challenge is mentioned by both Michel Lino and Wang Baoen?
A.Severe environmental pressure.
B.Rapid development of economy.
C.Negative impact of human activities.
D.Increasingly extreme weather events.
34.How do digital twins help with dam management?
A.By imitating real dam performance.B.By reducing risks of flooding.
C.By letting machines handle dam tasks.D.By providing accurate predictions alone.
35.Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A.International Cooperation for Shared Future
B.The Role of Dams to Address Climate Challenges
C.Global Call for Smart System in Dam Management
D.China's Leadership in Digital Solutions for Reservoir Safety

I came home from school and dropped my backpack on the floor.Before I could relax,my mom
reminded me to finish any homework I had.Then she surprised me with exciting news-we were
going to the night market!I jumped up and down with happiness.
At the night market,.colorful lights and cheerful music surrounded us.When mom asked what I
wanted to do first,I immediately pointed to a game where kids were throwing balls.As we got closer,I
saw rows of fishbowls,each with a small fish swimming inside.My heart beat faster-I really wanted
to play this game.
I asked the friendly stall (owner how it worked.He explained that for 2 RMB,I'd get one
ball to throw.If it landed in a bowl,I'd win that fish.I turned to mom with hopeful eyes,but she shook
her head."Remember,we can't have pets,"she said,"pets are a big responsibility."I begged,promising
to take good care of it.
The man smiled at mom and said,"Don't worry ma'am.It's actually very hard to win."After some
thought,mom agreed I could try once."If you get it on your first try,you can keep the fish,"she said.
I studied the bowls carefully and noticed one with the most beautiful goldfish I'd ever seen.The
little fish's bright orange skin sparkled under the colorful lights.I knew I had to win that one.Taking a
deep breath,I aimed carefully and threw the ball.Too nervous to watch,I squeezed my eyes shut.
Unexpectedly,I heard the man shout,"We have a winner!"My eyes flew open to see him holding
out the bowl with my perfect goldfish."I'm naming you Moebus!"I announced happily.I burst out
laughing at Mom's astonished expression-her eyes were wide and her mouth formed a little"o"
shape.Holding Moebus,I suddenly realized that winning was easy,but keeping a promise to care for
him would be harder.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右:

When we got home,I told Mom not to worry.
