Create wildlife-friendly areas in your backyard

Buy products that are friendly to wildlife
Don’t buy products that are made from endangered animals. Keep in mind that some endangered animals are killed by traps, or hunters who are eager to earn money with them.

“I like pop songs better before I actually got a chance to sing hua’er at the age of 19,” said Sa Lina,36, who has since become a famous singer, devoting herself to this traditional art form for almost two decades
Hua’er, which means flower in Chinese, is a Chinese folk song style. It is popular and shared by people of nine ethnic groups in Qinghai, Gansu, Ningxia and Xinjiangfor hundreds of years. Also known as a type of “mountain songs”, it was inscribed by UNESCO on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity(人类非物质文化遗产)in 2009.
After graduating in 2005, Sa returned to her hometown in Ningxia, and soon got a chance to sing with Ma Handong, a famous singer of hua’er. “I had never sung hua’er before, so I practiced a lot, To my surprise, I soon fell in love with its beautiful melodies,” said Sa.
Since then, Sa has devoted herself to mastering the folk art, and further bringing this traditional local folk art to the national stage. In 2010, she sang a hua’er song at a gala on Chinese New Year’s Eve, winning nationwide attention. At the age of 27, she was named an inheritor(传承者)of hua’er, becoming the youngest inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage at the time.
“Art should not only be inherited(传承), but also improved. I don’t only want to be a hua’er singer, but also a promoter of this folk music,” she said. In 2014 Sa set up an art school, which offers hua’er training courses free of charge. She also regularly gives singing lectures in public schools and communities, benefiting tens of thousands of people.
4. What can we learn about Hua’er from the text?
A. It is a kind of flower.
B. It is a local folk art
C. It is a classic song.
D. It is a new art form.
5. Which of the following best explains“inscribed” underlined in paragraph 2?
A. Updated. B. Studied. C. Awarded. D. Included
6. What’s the fourth paragraph mainly about?
A. Sa’s skills in singing Hua’er
B. Sa’s performance at a gala.
C. Sa’s contributions about Hua’er
D. Sa’s understanding about Hua’er.
7. Why did Sa set up an art school?
A. To offer different art courses
B. To help people live more happily.
C. To inherit and promote the folk art
D To open more social media accounts
Why can discounts and deals turn a simple shopping trip into chaos? What is it that makes a bargain so appealing?
A brain-activity study has shown that when we think about money we might spend, brain areas sensitive to pain are activated. When we think about the thing that we want to buy, areas sensitive to pleasure are triggered. Our medial prefrontal cortex (前额叶内务侧皮质) evaluates these responses and makes a decision. If it looks like a good deal, we’re more likely to make the purchase and get a hit of dopamine (多巴胺). We get even more dopamine from something that’s unexpected, such as when something is surprisingly cheap. Our brains are keen to reward us for finding bargains and many shops are keen to take advantage of this.
Anchoring is a pricing strategy where we are shown an initial price, and then the real one. Popular items may be positioned next to something much more expensive, or we may see a very high previous price next to the heavily reduced one currently available. Sky-high anchor prices can make unreasonably high actual prices seem fair, and our brains are happy to reward us when we make the purchase. Other strategies include time limits, threatening to prevent us from our dopamine hit if we’re not quick enough, and charm pricing, where we’re much less worried about paying £9.99 than £10.
If we know how our brains work and how retailers (零售商) might act, what should we do? It can be useful to take time to consider what we’re buying, hold on to something and walk around the shop before buying to give ourselves more time to evaluate a potential purchase. It can also be sensible to research prices before shopping, to get a better idea of what represents good value.
8. What happens when we think about the item we want to purchase?
A. Areas sensitive to pain become active.
B. More dopamine will be released.
C. Areas related to delight start to function.
D. The medial prefrontal cortex shuts down.
9. What does the underlined word “initial” in Paragraph 4 probably refer to?
A. False B. Previous
C. Appealing D. Current
10. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Our brains like rewarding us for discovering bargains.
B. Charm pricing makes customers aware of paying more.
C. Taking time to consider purchases is inadvisable.
D. Researching prices before shopping is useless.
11. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. How to Avoid Shopping Chaos Smartly
B. The Function of Medial Prefrontal Cortex
C. Retailers’ Strategies and Customers’ Reactions
D. Why Bargains Are Favored by Customers
D
As global waste production exceeds 2 billion tons annually cities worldwide are turning to AI-powered robots to revolutionize recycling. In Shanghai, a pilot program named “EcoSort” has deployed 200 robots across 10 districts, achieving a 40% increase in sorting accuracy compared to human workers.
These robots, equipped with hyperspectral cameras and deep-learning algorithms, can identify over 50 types of materials-from PET bottles to biodegradable packaging — in milliseconds. Dr. Li Wei, the project lead, explains, “The robot’s real advantage lies in consistency. They don’t fatigue or overlook contaminants like humans might.”
However, challenges persist. A 2024 study in Environmental Science & Technology noted that such robots struggle with irregularly shaped items (e.g. crumpled (弄皱的) paper, requiring human intervention in 15% of cases. Critics also highlight high upfront (预付的) costs, though proponents argue long-term savings make up for this.
The program’s next phase (阶段) aims to integrate community education. “Technology alone isn’t enough,” says Dr. Li. “Residents must understand why separating kitchen waste matters. Robots are tools, not substitutes for human responsibility.”
12. What is the main purpose of the “EcoSort” program?
A. To replace human workers entirely. B. To improve waste-sorting efficiency.
C. To reduce the cost of robot production. D. To study biodegradable materials.
13. What limitation of waste-sorting robots is mentioned?
A. They cannot operate at night. B. They fail to handle certain irregular items.
C. They consume excessive energy. D. They require frequent software updates.
14. What does Dr. Li Wei emphasize in the last paragraph?
A. Robots will eventually replace human roles.
B. Public awareness is key to successful recycling.
C. Hyperspectral cameras need further development.
D. Government funding should be increased.
15. Which best describes the author’s attitude toward green robots?
A. Skeptical. B. Optimistic with reservations.
C. Indifferent. D. Strongly critical.

57. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整短文。
Since the age of seven, I had always dreamed of being one of the student leaders who we looked up to. They took responsibility for us, gave instructions, organized school activities, and proudly wore their badges while carrying our school flag and walking on the playground. They represented us and gave speeches on school issues, becoming our role models.
As I grew older, I became qualified to participate in the school elections. I prepared my election speech and on the day of the speeches,everyone balloted(不记名投票).I was hopeful and prayed for a victory. However, the following morning when we gathered on the school grounds for the principal’s declaration of the outcome, reality hit me hard. I realized that I had no chance of winning-I was neither well known nor too pretty. Like many preteens facing rejection, I became depressed and felt as though I had no friends supporting me.
Later that day, as I cried in my room, I took a deep breath and decided to change my mindset. I refused to see myself as a failure and made a determination to run for the school elections again the following year-this time, with a plan to win. I sat down at my study table and wrote down my thoughts.
Comparing myself with other competitors, I figured out that I had a lot to improve. With a whole year ahead, I began to play my election strategies.
To gain recognition and demonstrate my ability to represent my fellow students, I started making new friends and helping them in various ways at school. Additionally, I attended a public speaking course to learn how to deliver a great election speech. By the time the election came around, I was well-prepared, and I delivered a passionate speech on the stage.
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;

“I like pop songs better before I actually got a chance to sing hua’er at the age of 19,” said Sa Lina,36, who has since become a famous singer, devoting herself to this traditional art form for almost two decades
Hua’er, which means flower in Chinese, is a Chinese folk song style. It is popular and shared by people of nine ethnic groups in Qinghai, Gansu, Ningxia and Xinjiangfor hundreds of years. Also known as a type of “mountain songs”, it was inscribed by UNESCO on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity(人类非物质文化遗产)in 2009.
After graduating in 2005, Sa returned to her hometown in Ningxia, and soon got a chance to sing with Ma Handong, a famous singer of hua’er. “I had never sung hua’er before, so I practiced a lot, To my surprise, I soon fell in love with its beautiful melodies,” said Sa.
Since then, Sa has devoted herself to mastering the folk art, and further bringing this traditional local folk art to the national stage. In 2010, she sang a hua’er song at a gala on Chinese New Year’s Eve, winning nationwide attention. At the age of 27, she was named an inheritor(传承者)of hua’er, becoming the youngest inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage at the time.
“Art should not only be inherited(传承), but also improved. I don’t only want to be a hua’er singer, but also a promoter of this folk music,” she said. In 2014 Sa set up an art school, which offers hua’er training courses free of charge. She also regularly gives singing lectures in public schools and communities, benefiting tens of thousands of people.
4. What can we learn about Hua’er from the text?

Why can discounts and deals turn a simple shopping trip into chaos? What is it that makes a bargain so appealing?
A brain-activity study has shown that when we think about money we might spend, brain areas sensitive to pain are activated. When we think about the thing that we want to buy, areas sensitive to pleasure are triggered. Our medial prefrontal cortex (前额叶内务侧皮质) evaluates these responses and makes a decision. If it looks like a good deal, we’re more likely to make the purchase and get a hit of dopamine (多巴胺). We get even more dopamine from something that’s unexpected, such as when something is surprisingly cheap. Our brains are keen to reward us for finding bargains and many shops are keen to take advantage of this.
Anchoring is a pricing strategy where we are shown an initial price, and then the real one. Popular items may be positioned next to something much more expensive, or we may see a very high previous price next to the heavily reduced one currently available. Sky-high anchor prices can make unreasonably high actual prices seem fair, and our brains are happy to reward us when we make the purchase. Other strategies include time limits, threatening to prevent us from our dopamine hit if we’re not quick enough, and charm pricing, where we’re much less worried about paying £9.99 than £10.
If we know how our brains work and how retailers (零售商) might act, what should we do? It can be useful to take time to consider what we’re buying, hold on to something and walk around the shop before buying to give ourselves more time to evaluate a potential purchase. It can also be sensible to research prices before shopping, to get a better idea of what represents good value.
8. What happens when we think about the item we want to purchase?
A. Areas sensitive to pain become active.
B. More dopamine will be released.
C. Areas related to delight start to function.
D. The medial prefrontal cortex shuts down.
9. What does the underlined word “initial” in Paragraph 4 probably refer to?
A. False B. Previous
C. Appealing D. Current
10. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Our brains like rewarding us for discovering bargains.
B. Charm pricing makes customers aware of paying more.
C. Taking time to consider purchases is inadvisable.
D. Researching prices before shopping is useless.
11. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. How to Avoid Shopping Chaos Smartly
B. The Function of Medial Prefrontal Cortex
C. Retailers’ Strategies and Customers’ Reactions
D. Why Bargains Are Favored by Customers
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是人们在购物时为何容易被折扣吸引,以及大脑如何对交易产生反应的相关研究和零售策略。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“When we think about the thing that we want to buy, areas sensitive to pleasure are triggered.(当我们想到想要购买的物品时,大脑中对愉悦敏感的区域会被激活)”可知,当我们考虑想买的物品时,与快乐相关的脑区开始工作。故选C项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Popular items may be positioned next to something much more expensive, or we may see a very high previous price next to the heavily reduced one currently available.(畅销品可能会与更昂贵的东西放在一起,或者我们可能会看到一个非常高的以前的价格,旁边是当前大幅打折的价格。)”可知,在当前大幅降价的商品旁边看到一个非常高的以前的价格,结合划线单词所在的句子“Anchoring is a pricing strategy where we are shown an initial price, and then the real one.(锚定是一种定价策略,先给我们展示一个……价格,然后是实际价格。)”可知,锚定价格是先展示一个以前的价格,然后是实际价格,由此可以推断出,划线单词的意思与“以前的”意义相近。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Our brains are keen to reward us for finding bargains and many shops are keen to take advantage of this.(我们的大脑热衷于奖励我们发现便宜货,许多商店也热衷于利用这一点。)”以及全文的内容可知,大脑确实喜欢因发现便宜货而给予我们奖励。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据首段“Why can discounts and deals turn a simple shopping trip into chaos? What is it that makes a bargain so appealing?(为什么折扣和优惠会把一次简单的购物之旅变成混乱?是什么让便宜货如此有吸引力?)”可知,文章开篇提出问题,接下来的内容围绕大脑对购物的反应机制(思考花钱和想买的东西时大脑不同区域的反应、多巴胺的分泌等)以及零售商利用这些机制采用的定价策略(锚定策略、时间限制、魅力定价等)展开,解释了便宜货受顾客青睐的原因,所以题目“为什么顾客偏爱优惠”可以概括全文的主题,适合作为最佳标题。故选D项。
D
As global waste production exceeds 2 billion tons annually, cities worldwide are turning to AI-powered robots to revolutionize recycling. In Shanghai, a pilot program named “EcoSort” has deployed 200 robots across 10 districts, achieving a 40% increase in sorting accuracy compared to human workers.
These robots, equipped with hyperspectral cameras and deep-learning algorithms, can identify over 50 types of materials-from PET bottles to biodegradable packaging — in milliseconds. Dr. Li Wei, the project lead, explains, “The robot’s real advantage lies in consistency. They don’t fatigue or overlook contaminants like humans might.”
However, challenges persist. A 2024 study in Environmental Science & Technology noted that such robots struggle with irregularly shaped items (e.g. crumpled (弄皱的) paper, requiring human intervention in 15% of cases. Critics also highlight high upfront (预付的) costs, though proponents argue long-term savings make up for this.
The program’s next phase (阶段) aims to integrate community education. “Technology alone isn’t enough,” says Dr. Li. “Residents must understand why separating kitchen waste matters. Robots are tools, not substitutes for human responsibility.”
12. What is the main purpose of the “EcoSort” program?
A. To replace human workers entirely. B. To improve waste-sorting efficiency.
C. To reduce the cost of robot production. D. To study biodegradable materials.
13. What limitation of waste-sorting robots is mentioned?
A. They cannot operate at night. B. They fail to handle certain irregular items.
C. They consume excessive energy. D. They require frequent software updates.
14. What does Dr. Li Wei emphasize in the last paragraph?
A. Robots will eventually replace human roles.
B. Public awareness is key to successful recycling.
C. Hyperspectral cameras need further development.
D. Government funding should be increased.
15. Which best describes the author’s attitude toward green robots?
A. Skeptical. B. Optimistic with reservations.
C. Indifferent. D. Strongly critical.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. B 15. B
【解析】

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“In Shanghai, a pilot program named “EcoSort” has deployed 200 robots across 10 districts, achieving a 40% increase in sorting accuracy compared to human workers.(在上海,名为“EcoSort”的试点项目已在10个区部署了200台机器人,与人类工人相比,分拣准确率提高了40%。)”可知,“EcoSort”项目的主要目的是提高垃圾分类效率。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“A 2024 study in Environmental Science & Technology noted that such robots struggle with irregularly shaped items (e.g. crumpled paper), requiring human intervention in 15% of cases.(《环境科学与技术》期刊2024年的一项研究指出,这类机器人难以处理形状不规则的物品(如皱巴巴的纸),15%的情况需要人类干预。)”可知,垃圾分类机器人的局限性是无法处理某些形状不规则的物品。故选B项。
14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的““Technology alone isn’t enough,” says Dr. Li. “Residents must understand why separating kitchen waste matters. Robots are tools, not substitutes for human responsibility.(李博士表示:“仅靠技术是不够的。居民必须明白分类厨房垃圾为何重要。机器人是工具,而非人类责任的替代品”)”可知,李博士强调公众意识对成功回收至关重要。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段 “In Shanghai, a pilot program named ‘EcoSort’ has deployed 200 robots across 10 districts, achieving a 40% increase in sorting accuracy compared to human workers.(在上海,名为“EcoSort”的试点项目已在10个区部署了200台机器人,与人类工人相比,分拣准确率提高了40%)”,可知,这表明作者认可机器人在提高垃圾分拣效率方面的积极作用,体现了乐观的态度。 根据文章第三段 “However, challenges persist. A 2024 study in Environmental Science & Technology noted that such robots struggle with irregularly shaped items (e.g. crumpled paper, requiring human intervention in 15% of cases). Critics also highlight high upfront costs, though proponents argue long - term savings make up for this.(“然而,挑战依然存在。《环境科学与技术》期刊 2024 年的一项研究指出,此类机器人在处理形状不规则的物品(例如皱巴巴的纸张)时存在困难,15% 的情况下需要人工干预。批评人士还强调其高昂的前期成本,不过支持者认为,长期节省的费用足以弥补这一点”)” 可知,绿色机器人并非完美无缺,存在一定的局限性。所以作者的态度是有保留的乐观。故选B项。

【答案】 Whether space is worth exploring or not
Recently, our class had a heated debate on whether space is worth exploring.
Some students oppose it, arguing that space exploration costs a large amount of money and resources, which could be used to solve problems on Earth, like poverty and environmental issues.
However, others support it. They believe space exploration helps us understand the universe better, and the resulting technological advancements can benefit people's daily lives. For example, satellite technology improves communication.
In my opinion, though space exploration has its drawbacks, its advantages outweigh them. It broadens our horizons and offers the potential for a better future.

第二节(满分20分)
57. 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。
Since the age of seven, I had always dreamed of being one of the student leaders who we looked up to. They took responsibility for us, gave instructions, organized school activities, and proudly wore their badges while carrying our school flag and walking on the playground. They represented us and gave speeches on school issues, becoming our role models.
As I grew older, I became qualified to participate in the school elections. I prepared my election speech and on the day of the speeches,everyone balloted(不记名投票).I was hopeful and prayed for a victory. However, the following morning when we gathered on the school grounds for the principal’s declaration of the outcome, reality hit me hard. I realized that I had no chance of winning-I was neither well known nor too pretty. Like many preteens facing rejection, I became depressed and felt as though I had no friends supporting me.
Later that day, as I cried in my room, I took a deep breath and decided to change my mindset. I refused to see myself as a failure and made a determination to run for the school elections again the following year-this time, with a plan to win. I sat down at my study table and wrote down my thoughts.
Comparing myself with other competitors, I figured out that I had a lot to improve. With a whole year ahead, I began to play my election strategies.
To gain recognition and demonstrate my ability to represent my fellow students, I started making new friends and helping them in various ways at school. Additionally, I attended a public speaking course to learn how to deliver a great election speech. By the time the election came around, I was well-prepared, and I delivered a passionate speech on the stage.
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
The following day, I anxiously waited for the results.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Later, I realized that I had achieved far more than what I had initially set out to do.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 The following day, I anxiously awaited the results. I sat in the classroom, my heart pounding like a drum, each time someone passed by I would nervously look at them, hoping they would bring the news I was waiting for. Then, the principal took the stage and began to announce the election results. I gripped the pencil in my hand tightly, barely able to breathe. When I heard my name, I could hardly believe my ears. I had won! I had really won! I felt an immense joy and excitement, I had finally achieved my dream, I had become a student leader.
Later, I realized that I had achieved far more than what I had initially set out to do. Not only had I won the election and become a student leader, but more importantly, I had found myself. I learned how to face setbacks, how to stand up from failures, how to strive for my goals. I also learned how to connect with others, how to help them, how to become a leader worthy of respect. All these experiences made me more determined, more mature, and more confident. I knew that no matter what difficulties I would face in the future, I had the ability to face and overcome them. Because I had proven that as long as there is determination, there is perseverance, I can achieve my dreams.
