Feeding Generally,visitors to Sepilok are able to see orangutans during the scheduled 10:00 am and 3:00 pm feeding sessions at the platform.Have there been occasions when orangutans have not shown up for feeding?Admittedly yes!And we give you this heads up,while not something that occurs frequently.The main reason why the orangutans may not appear during feeding time is that they manage to get food in the wild,especially during fruiting season.This is indeed a great achievement,as the whole purpose is to ensure these orangutans understand that their natural home is in the wild and not to be dependent on a conditioned environment. Guidelines Keep Quiet:Loud noises,shouting,or running may stress the orangutans. No Touching or Feeding:Do not touch,feed,or attempt to interact with the orangutans. Only authorized staff may provide food. No Flash Photography:Turn off flashlights when taking photos to avoid disturbing the animals'vision. Follow Signage:Stay on designated(被指定的)pathways and observation decks. Unauthorized access to restricted areas is strictly prohibited. Entrance fee is applicable Adults Children $5.00 (Malaysian) $2.00 (Malaysian) 30.00 (Non-Malaysian) $15.00 (Non-Malaysian) 21.Why might visitors fail to see the orangutans during feeding time? A.The orangutans are afraid of visitors'noise. B.The orangutans don't like food offered by SORC. 【高二英语第3页（共10页）】 C.The orangutans have found enough food in the wild.

B Today,I witnessed something silently powerful-a moving example of courage and inner strength.It was not loud or dramatic,but it left a deep impression on me.In a world where people often feel helpless when facing difficulties,this woman showed me that strength doesn't always appear in big ways.Sometimes,it's found in simple actions and daily choices. She lived in a remote village,far from the noise of the city.Life was not easy for her. Years ago,she lost her only son-a loss that left a deep pain in her heart.Not long after,her husband passed away too,leaving her to face the world on her own.To make things harder, she didn't have a driver's license and lived far from the nearest store,more than twenty kilometers away.With no public transport and no one to drive her,daily life became full of small but real challenges. She didn't give in,though.Instead of waiting for help,she found her own solution.She bought a simple scooter(小型摩托车)one that doesn't require a license一and learned to ride it herself.Now,whenever she needs to go into town,she sets out alone,riding through fields and hills.For others,it might seem like an ordinary trip,but for her,it is a sign of her will and independence.Every time she arrives at the store,it's more than just a success-it's proof that she still has control over her life. Knowing her experience made me think deeply.Her courage doesn't come from big words,but from the way she faces each day.In difficult times,she chooses to move forward rather than give up.Her story reminds us that true strength often shows in quiet ways-and that even in the hardest moments,we are stronger than we think. 24.What challenge did the woman face in daily life? A.Lacking even basic living skills. B.Having no access to daily necessities. C.Being unable to get a driver's license. D.Having difficulty with transport. 25.What do we know about the woman from paragraph 3? A.She independently learned to ride a scooter. B.She used a scooter to deliver goods to the store. C.She waited for the help from others. D.She moved much closer to town. 【高二英语第4页（共10页）】 26.Which of the following best describes the woman's action according to the author? A.Ordinary. B.Demanding. C.Temporary. D.Inspiring. 27.What does the woman's story mainly teach us? A.Small actions can show great strength. B.Rural life requires more flexibility. C.Social support is vital for survival. D.Technology simplifies daily challenges. C Award-winning The Atlantic staff writes Zoe Schlanger delivers a new work of popular science-The Light Eaters that explores the hidden world of the plant kingdom and reveals the astonishing capabilities of the green life all around us. It takes great biological creativity to be a plant.To survive and grow well while rooted in a single spot,plants have adopted clever methods of survival.In recent years,scientists have learned about their ability to communicate,know their relatives and behave socially,hear sounds,change to shape their bodies to blend into their surroundings,store useful memories that inform their life cycle,and trick animals into behaving to their benefit,to name just a few remarkable talents. The Light Eaters is a deep look into the drama of green life and the complexity of this wild and amazing world that challenges our very understanding of agency,awareness,and intelligence.In looking closely,we see that plants,rather than copy human intelligence,have perhaps formed a similar system.What is intelligent life if not a flower that shapes its bloom to fit exactly the bill of its pollinator(传粉者)，a pea seedling that can hear water flowing and grow toward it?Zoe Schlanger takes us across the globe,digging into her own memories and into the soil with the scientists who have spent their waking days studying these amazing organisms up close. What can we learn about life on Earth from the living things that grow well,adapt. consume,and accommodate at the same time?Examining the latest discoveries in botanical research,Schlanger focuses on the intellectual struggles among the researchers developing an entirely new view of their subject,offering a glimpse(一瞥)of a field in chaos(混乱)as plant scientists debate the principles of ongoing discoveries and how they influence our understanding of what a plant is. We need plants to survive.But what do they need us for-if at all?Offering an eye- opening and informative look at the ecosystem we live in,this book challenges us to rethink the role of plants-and our own place-in the natural world. 28.What does the book The Light Eaters mainly focus on? A.The importance of plants. B.Plants'surprising survival abilities. C.Animal-plant communication methods. D.The scientists'challenges in the study of green life. 【高二英语第5页（共10页）】 29.Why does the author mention"a pea seedling"in paragraph 3? A.To compare different kinds of plant social behavior. B.To clarify how plants copy human intelligence. C.To indicate the link between humans and plants. D.To prove plants have their own unique intelligence. 30.What can we learn about plant scientists regarding the discoveries from paragraph 4? A.They have unified conclusions. B.They reach no agreement. C.They ignore plants'memories. D.They struggle to redefine plant. 31.What does the author think of the book The Light Eaters? A.It is rich in insights. B.It is simple and plain. C.It is hard and complex. D.It is highly debatable. D Remote work has become increasingly common,but does it really improve employees' well-being?According to a recent Gallup report based on a global survey,fully remote workers may be more engaged in their tasks,yet they often experience stronger negative emotions. Researchers divided workers into four categories:those who always work remotely; those with hybrid (arrangements (splitting time between home and office);those based in an office but free to work remotely;and those who must remain in an office at all times.The study found that 31%of fully remote employees reported feeling engaged- meaning they were interested in and focused on their work-whereas only 19%of office-only workers felt similarly,which was the lowest among all categories. Despite higher engagement,fully remote workers reported more frequent stress:45% said they often felt tense,compared to a lower proportion among office-based staff.Hybrid workers showed similar stress levels (46%).Moreover,at least one-quarter of remote workers admitted to feelings of anger,loneliness,or sadness-emotions less commonly reported by those working entirely on-site. Researcher Ryan Pendell suggests two main reasons for these findings.First,remote workers miss the informal interactions-chatting by the coffee machine or eating lunch together-that foster a sense of connection and reduce stress.Second,working from home demands self-management of time and tasks;constant online meetings and messaging can intensify pressure and blur work-life boundaries. Pendell emphasizes that companies must address the emotional needs of all employees, whether they work from home or in an office.While remote work can boost focus and flexibility,organizations should offer social support,clear guidelines for time management, and opportunities for in-person collaboration ()Only by balancing productivity with well-being can businesses ensure long-term success and a really satisfied workforce. For example,companies might organize regular virtual coffee breaks,schedule occasional in-person gatherings.Encouraging employees to set clear work hours and take regular breaks also helps reduce burnout.By combining structured support programs with flexible policies, businesses can create a work environment that fosters engagement,protects mental health, 【高二英语第6页（共10页）】 and sustains productivity. 32.What did the research find about the employees working entirely from home? A.They focus more on tasks but feel worse emotionally. B.They have lower stress than office staff. C.They feel much more stressed than hybrid workers. D.They value flexibility more than teamwork. 33.Which employee group is reported the least work engagement? A.Those dividing time between home and workplace. B.Those allowed flexibility to work off-site. C.Those required to work at an office. D.Those managing tasks remotely. 34.What does the underlined word "blur"in paragraph 4 mean? A.Clarify. B.Confuse. C.Separate. D.Define. 35.What is the best title for the text? A.How to Manage a Remote Team B.The Rise of Digital Communication C.The Emotional Impact of Working from Home D.Office vs.Home:a Productivity Comparison 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 This guide provides you with some best tips on how to look after your mental health.

Since elementary school,they'd been a perfect duo ()-Emma played the piano,and Ryan sang with a voice that attracted many people's attention.Over the years,they'd performed at school events,birthday parties:and even significant ceremonies.Everyone called them "Seabrook Sound",and they secretly dreamed of studying in a prestigious art institute in the city together. This year,the school was hosting a talent showcase.The winner would get a scholarship and a guaranteed spot at the school of their dreams.Emma and Ryan were determined to win. They decided to write an original song-one that combined Emma's soft melodies with Ryan's powerful vocals.It was a bold move,but they believed in their partnership. At first,things flowed naturally and lyrics came like waves on the shore.But as they got deeper into the process,cracks began to form.Emma wanted the song to be about quiet perseverance,something deep and poetic.Ryan,on the other hand,wanted a more upbeat song-catchy,loud,something that would get the audience clapping. "I don't want to sound like a sad diary,"Ryan shouted one afternoon."And I don't want to play a terrible song,"Emma fired back. Their teamwork turned into silent standoffs ()Ryan began skipping practice, choosing to record musical ideas on his own.Emma did the same,writing new versions of the song late into the night,her fingers dancing over the keys alone.Pride,frustration,and unspoken hurt grew between them like a wall. The day of the showcase arrived.The hall was filled with excitement,and students backstage were busy warming up or pacing nervously.Emma and Ryan barely spoke as they took their places at opposite ends of the dressing room.They had each prepared their own version of the song,determined to perform solo(a独自地). 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。 Emma walked onto the stage alone,with her heart pounding. Seeing Emma's struggle,Ryan stood up and walked toward the stage without hesitation. 【高二英语第10页（共10页）】
