If the shark emoji on your phone is structurally correct, thank Emily Simpson. As a “content strategist”, she made it her mission to ensure that emoji, the universal lingo of our digital age, shows marine life as nature intended.
Simpson has pushed for key emoji redesigns: Apple redesigned the squid (鱿鱼) emoji, removing a tube that was oddly placed in the face and the oyster (牡蛎) emoji, relocating its pearl. She’s the reason the tail on Google’s fierce shark has a big upper lobe (叶), not the two even lobes of its original design. The two eyes on Google’s octopus (章鱼) are right where they belong — not in the center of its face, as initially shown, but on either side of its head.
“Emojis can open up a whole world of conversations with people who might not live next to the ocean. An emoji is a great way that people can share our culture and our values through these tiny, little, silly pictures on our phones.” said Simpson. Since emojis first appeared in the 1990s, Tech companies are constantly seeking new and improved characters. But before a proposed code can be included into an operating system, it must be approved by the emoji master, the Unicode Consortium, but it doesn’t govern accuracy. That falls to volunteers like Simpson.
Her official job is to develop and direct creative concepts for the aquarium (水族馆) on Monterey’s Canney Row. She describes herself as “a judge of Internet culture”. Her efforts are not all victorious, though. Simpson urged herself to relax its pufferfish, but her advice was disregarded. Expanded and pointed, “the poor creature remains stressed out!” she said. Similarly, the octopus on all platforms is missing several arms.
“Our team really enjoyed cooperating with the Monterey Bay Aquarium on marine emoji. When designing emojis, realness is key.” said Jennifer Daniel, the creative director for Google’s Android emoji. Simpson is proud that a lobster, crab, shrimp and oyster now stay in the “Animals & Nature” category, not classified as “Food”. “It helps to build empathy,” she said, “if they’ re not just something tasty on our dinner plate.”
4. Which word can best replace the underlined word “lingo” in paragraph 1?
A. Language. B. Action. C. Interest. D. Application.
5. How is Google’s shark emoji redesigned according to Emily Simpson?
A. The lobes on its tail are changed.
B. An odd part in its face is removed.
C. Its eyes are moved to the center of its face.
D. The original design of its tail is recovered.
6. What is a disadvantage of Unicode Consortium’s work?
A. It constantly improves emojis. B. It has a final say on a new emoji.
C. It seeks new emojis from time to time. D. It fails to ensure the accuracy of emojis.
7. Which of the following can best describe Emily Simpson?
A. Generous and proud. B. Determined and creative.
C. Honest and enthusiastic. D. Innovative and humorous.
【答案】4. A 5. A 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍艾米丽·辛普森推动海洋生物emoji精准化设计,及相关工作细节与意义 。
【4题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“As a “content strategist”, she made it her mission to ensure that emoji, the universal lingo of our digital age, shows marine life as nature intended. (作为一名 “内容策略师”,她将确保表情符号 —— 我们数字时代的通用lingo—— 如实呈现海洋生物的自然形态,视作自己的使命。)”可知,emoji在数字时代被人们广泛用于交流,起到了类似“语言”的沟通作用,由此可推测“lingo”意为“语言”。故选A项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“She’s the reason the tail on Google’s fierce shark has a big upper lobe (叶), not the two even lobes of its original design. (正是因为她,谷歌那只凶猛鲨鱼表情符号的尾巴才有了一个大的上叶,而不是最初设计的两个对称的叶。)”可知,按照艾米丽·辛普森的推动,谷歌鲨鱼emoji尾巴上的叶发生了改变。故选A项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“But before a proposed code can be included into an operating system, it must be approved by the emoji master, the Unicode Consortium, but it doesn’t govern accuracy. (但是,在一个拟议的编码被纳入操作系统之前,它必须得到表情符号权威机构——统一码联盟的批准,但该联盟并不监管表情符号的准确性。)”可知,统一码联盟工作的缺点是无法确保emoji的准确性。故选D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Her official job is to develop and direct creative concepts for the aquarium(水族馆) (她的正式工作是为该水族馆开发并主导创意方案)”可知,她具备 “创造力”。根据第一段中的 “As a “content strategist”, she made it her mission to ensure that emoji, the universal lingo of our digital age, shows marine life as nature intended.(作为一名“内容策略师”,她将确保表情符号 —— 我们数字时代的通用语言—— 如实呈现海洋生物的自然形态,视作自己的使命)”,以及第二段中 “Simpson has pushed for key emoji redesigns (辛普森推动了多项关键表情符号的重新设计)”以及第四段“Her efforts are not all victorious, though.(不过,她的努力并非全都取得了成功)”可知,她的努力并非全获成功,但仍坚持推动其他 Emoji 优化,体现 “为目标坚持到底” 的坚定态度。故选B项。
C
The results of the artificial intelligence (AI) boom have found fertile ground in modern agriculture, from application systems to on-the-go machine operation adjustments. The industrial revolution of AI is promoting the rapid development of agriculture, as equipment makers create “smarter” machinery equipped with increasing amounts of background data and digital circuitry (电路) patterned after the human brain.
In a recent interview about the use of AI in production agriculture, John Deere’s President of Lifecycle Solutions, Justin Rose, said AI is essential to his company’s goal of helping farmers be more profitable and sustainable while using fewer resources: less land, chemicals and labor.
Rose points to Deere’s See & Spray technology and its use of AI to boost productivity through improved crop protection chemical use. “Traditional sprayers treat entire fields with herbicides, but our system uses 36 cameras and advanced machine learning to identify and spray only the weeds — while moving at 12-15 mph, covering 3 football field lengths per minute,” he says. He notes the system uses 70% less chemical than traditional application practices for significant improvements in profitability, sustainability and efficiency.
The examples of AI in agriculture are many, with ranks growing rapidly each year, but before farmers can benefit from these developments, they must first become familiar with the technology and how to operate it, stall settings, plan their season around the equipment and make in-season adjustments. AI is helping with this challenge. Farmers don’t have endless opportunities to get everything right, but with the help of AI, we can turn a farm career’s 40 harvests into 40,000 opportunities to learn and optimize (优化).
Rose says the AI race has just begun. “This is the slowest it’s ever going to go, and we’ re all going to have to raise our game and move more quickly all the time,” he explains. That involves those who design and program AI applications, those who depend upon them, and those who sell and service them.
8. How does Rose illustrate AI’s function in chemical use?
A. By giving an example. B. By giving a definition.
C. By making a comparison. D. By making an assumption.
9. What are farmers advised to do in paragraph 4?
A. Acquire knowledge of AI and apply it.
B. Adjust equipment according to the season.
C. Increase the number of harvests by using AI.
D. Take endless chances to get everything right.
10. What does Rose think of AI’s current application?
A. Immature. B. Fast-paced. C. Highly-developed. D. Complex.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. AI Will Replace Workers in Various Fields
B. AI Is Busier in Agriculture Than Many Realize
C. Farmers Say Goodbye to Traditional Agriculture
D. Aims of AI Are Changing in Developing Agriculture
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,本文主要介绍人工智能在农业中的应用迅速增长。
8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Traditional sprayers treat entire fields with herbicides, but our system uses 36 cameras and advanced machine learning to identify and spray only the weeds — while moving at 12-15 mph, covering 3 football field lengths per minute,” he says. He notes the system uses 70% less chemical than traditional application practices for significant improvements in profitability, sustainability and efficiency.(传统的喷雾器可以对整个田地喷洒除草剂,但我们的系统使用36个摄像头和先进的机器学习来识别和喷洒杂草,同时以每小时12-15英里的速度移动,每分钟覆盖3个足球场的长度。”他指出,与传统的应用方法相比,该系统使用的化学物质减少了70%,显著提高了盈利能力、可持续性和效率)”可知,Rose是通过作比较的方式来说明人工智能在使用化学品中的作用,故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The examples of AI in agriculture are many, with ranks growing rapidly each year, but before farmers can benefit from these developments, they must first become familiar with the technology and how to operate it, stall settings, plan their season around the equipment and make in-season adjustments.(人工智能在农业中的例子很多,每年都在迅速增长,但在农民能够从这些发展中受益之前,他们必须首先熟悉这项技术,以及如何操作它、摊位设置、围绕设备计划他们的季节并进行季节性调整)”可知, 该段建议农民熟悉人工智能技术并投入到实际应用中,故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Rose says the AI race has just begun. “This is the slowest it’s ever going to go, and we’re all going to have to raise our game and move more quickly all the time,” he explains. That involves those who design and program AI applications, those who depend upon them, and those who sell and service them.(Rose表示,人工智能竞赛才刚刚开始。他解释道:“这是有史以来发展最慢的时候,我们都必须提高自己的水平,更快地前进。”这包括那些设计和编程人工智能应用程序的人,那些依赖于人工智能应用程序的人,以及那些销售和服务人工智能应用程序的人)”可知,Rose认为人工智能目前的应用不够成熟,故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,结合第一段“The results of the artificial intelligence (AI) boom have found fertile ground in modern agriculture, from application systems to on-the-go machine operation adjustments. The industrial revolution of AI is promoting the rapid development of agriculture, as equipment makers create “smarter” machinery equipped with increasing amounts of background data and digital circuitry (电路) patterned after the human brain.(人工智能热潮的结果为现代农业找到了肥沃的土壤,从应用系统到移动机器操作调整。人工智能的工业革命正在推动农业的快速发展,设备制造商创造出“更智能”的机器,这些机器配备了越来越多的背景数据和模仿人类大脑的数字电路)”和第四段中“The examples of AI in agriculture are many, with ranks growing rapidly each year(人工智能在农业中的例子很多,每年都在迅速增长)”可知,本文主要介绍人工智能在农业中的应用迅速增长,B项“人工智能在农业中的作用比许多人意识到的要大”作适合作为标题,故选B。

As plastic waste continues to increase across the globe, creating serious environmental challenges, researchers are turning to nature for sustainable solutions. Maksud Rahman, an assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at the University of Houston, has developed an innovative method for transforming bacterial cellulose (细菌纤维素), a biodegradable material, into a multifunctional substance that could serve as a replacement for plastic.
This material holds promise for a wide range of uses. It could soon be used to create everyday items such as disposable water bottles, eco-friendly packaging, and even wound dressings, relying on bacterial cellulose, a naturally abundant and biodegradable biopolymer (生物聚合物) found in the environment. “We imagine these strong, multifunctional and eco-friendly bacterial cellulose sheets becoming common, replacing plastics in various industries and helping reduce environmental damage,” said Rahman, who is reporting his work in Nature Communications.
Growing concern over the harmful effects of petroleum-based, non-degradable materials on the environment has intensified the demand for sustainable alternatives, such as natural or biomaterials. Bacterial cellulose has emerged as a potential biomaterial that is naturally abundant, biodegradable, and biocompatible (生物相容的). To strengthen the cellulose and create more functionality, the research team added boron nitride nanosheets (氮化硼纳米片) to the liquid that feeds the bacteria and made a material called “bacterial cellulose-boron nitride hybrid nanosheets” with better mechanical properties and thermal (热的) properties.
Rahman said the approach producing strong and multifunctional bacterial cellulose sheets would pave the way towards applications in structural materials, thermal management, packaging, textiles, green electronics and energy storage. “We’re essentially guiding the bacteria to behave with purpose. Rather than moving randomly, we direct their motion, so they produce cellulose in an organized way. This controlled behavior, combined with our flexible biosynthesis (生物合成) method with various nanomaterials, enables us to achieve multifunctional properties in the material,” Rahman said.
“This work is a perfect example of interdisciplinary (跨学科的) science at the intersection of materials science, biology, and nanoengineering,” Rahman added.
12. Why does the author mention “plastic waste” in the beginning?
A. To present an idea. B. To explain a concept.
C. To make a prediction. D. To give background information.
13. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The features of the new material.
B. The potential application of the new material.
C. The ways of reducing environmental damage.
D. The process of producing many everyday items.
14. What did the research team do to improve bacterial cellulose?
A. They changed the type of bacteria that produce cellulose.
B. They mixed nanomaterials into bacterial cellulose directly.
C. They added boron nitride nanosheets to the bacteria’s nutrient liquid.
D. They combined boron nitride nanosheets with bacterial cellulose completely.
15. Which of the following would Rahman agree with?
A. Cellulose is produced randomly.
B. Knowledge in a single field is applied.
C. The bacteria behave purposefully under guidance.
D. Cellulose sheets hardly benefit different applications.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是休斯顿大学机械与航空航天工程系助理教授Maksud Rahman及其研究团队开发的一种创新方法,即将细菌纤维素(一种可生物降解的材料)转化为多功能物质,以替代塑料,应对全球塑料垃圾增多带来的环境挑战。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“As plastic waste continues to increase across the globe, creating serious environmental challenges, researchers are turning to nature for sustainable solutions.(随着塑料垃圾在全球范围内的持续增加,造成了严重的环境挑战,研究人员正在转向大自然寻求可持续的解决方案)”结合下文介绍处理塑料垃圾的创新方法可知,作者一开始就提到“塑料垃圾”是为了提供背景资料。故选D。

The 20-5-3 Rule
You don’t need extreme diets or very tiring workout routines to boost your well-being. Enter the “20-5-3 rule” — research-backed formula (方案) to improve mental and physical health through time spent outdoors. Developed by neuroscientist Rachel Hopman of Northeastern University, ___16___
Twenty minutes, three times a week
The first step is to get out in nature for 20 minutes at least three times a week. Research from the University of Michigan shows this is the sweet spot for lowering cortisol, your body’s primary stress hormone. ___17___ Just sit or walk in a natural setting, exposed to sunlight and greenery. However, the lead author emphasizes the importance of disconnecting during these moments. Avoid “aerobic exercise, and avoid the use of social media, internet, phone calls, conversations and reading,” she said. Think of it as a mini escape, designed to reset your stress levels and help you feel grounded.
Five hours a month
For an even deeper mental reset, aim for five hours a month in semi-wild spaces, such as state parks. ___18___ Finnish researchers agree, finding wilder settings, with their organic “chaos”, help increase cognitive resources and foster sense of calm.
Three days annually
Immerse yourself in nature for three days annually. Long-time exposure to wild landscapes activates alpha brain waves — those linked to meditation, creativity and deep relaxation, Men’s Health reported. ___19___ A four-day wilderness trip can reduce PTSD (创伤后应激障碍) symptoms by 29% and stress by 21%, with effects lingering for weeks afterward.
So the next time you find yourself needing a “reset”, head outside for a quick lunchtime walk, or plan a weekend in the woods. ___20___
A. Better yet, you don’t need to sweat it out.
B. it is quite energy-consuming yet rewarding as well.
C. Studies even show profound benefits for mental health.
D. More importantly, we can broaden our horizons and keep fit.
E. Best of all, it’s free, accessible and waiting just outside your door.
F. this method emphasizes small, manageable steps that can lead to big rewards.
G. Studies show these environments provide heightened relaxation compared to city parks.
【答案】16. F 17. A 18. G 19. C 20. E

47. 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 never imagined I’d spend my mornings walking around the Washington Monument, with a trash bag in one hand and a grabber in the other. Yet, here I am. Each day, before the crowds arrive, I make my way there. Bottles, cigarette butts (烟头), plastic wrappers... it doesn’t matter. Actually I’ve seen messes far worse at other places, where the scattered (分散) litter everywhere really made me feel sick.
At first, being out there, keeping something iconic clean, gave me a sense of purpose. A clean environment not only keeps us healthy and in good spirits but also preserves ecological balance for all living beings. But it didn’t take long for me to notice the stare. Some people nodded, perhaps thinking it was admirable. Others? I’d catch them whispering, looking at me as if I were some pitiful charity case.
Last Tuesday, I overheard a man say, “Bet he’s doing community service or something.” His friend laughed quietly. I kept my head down. I wanted to turn around and explain exactly why I was there and what it meant to me. But I didn’t. I just kept going.
Then, this morning, something unexpected happened. There was an envelope under one of the benches I usually clear. No name, just the messy words “FOR YOU” on it. I stared at it, wondering if someone had left it intentionally… or if it was just more trash.
The first thought that crossed my mind was that maybe someone thought I was homeless. You know how people sometimes leave gift cards or a few dollars in an envelope for those they assume are struggling? I’m not homeless though I live in a modest studio apartment. I tried to shake it off, telling myself, “You won’t know what’s inside until you open it.”
I held the envelope for what felt like an eternity (永恒), scanning the park. There were the usual joggers and dog walkers, but no one seemed to be waiting for my reaction. Nobody was watching intently. It felt genuine — or maybe it was just random.
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。
Paragraph 1: Eventually, curiosity got the better of me, and I opened it.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Inspired and determined, I followed my usual routine the next morning.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Paragraph 1: Eventually, curiosity got the better of me, and I opened it. Inside was a handwritten note and a gift card to a local coffee shop. The note read, “Thank you for keeping our monument beautiful. Your efforts do not go unnoticed.” I was deeply touched. It wasn’t pity — it was gratitude. Someone saw me not as a charity case, but as a contributor. I stood there, holding the envelope, feeling a warmth spread through me. The whispers and stares suddenly didn’t matter anymore.
Paragraph 2: Inspired and determined, I followed my usual routine the next morning. But this time, I walked with a lighter heart and a stronger purpose. I realized that even the smallest act of kindness — or cleanliness — could ripple out in ways I never expected. I continued picking up trash, not for recognition, but because it was right. And whenever I felt doubtful, I remembered that envelope — a quiet reminder that goodness exists, often in the most unexpected places.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者每天清晨在华盛顿纪念碑附近捡垃圾,虽然环境脏乱,但他认为保持清洁对健康和生态很重要。路人的异样眼光让他感到不适,有人甚至误以为他是社区服务者或无家可归者。某一天在长椅下发现一个匿名信封,上面写着“FOR YOU”,引发他的好奇与犹豫。打开信封后发现是感谢信和礼品卡,意识到自己的行为被默默关注和认可。第二天继续清洁工作,并主动向路人解释环保意义,逐渐影响他人加入。

If the shark emoji on your phone is structurally correct, thank Emily Simpson. As a “content strategist”, she made it her mission to ensure that emoji, the universal lingo of our digital age, shows marine life as nature intended.
Simpson has pushed for key emoji redesigns: Apple redesigned the squid (鱿鱼) emoji, removing a tube that was oddly placed in the face and the oyster (牡蛎) emoji, relocating its pearl. She’s the reason the tail on Google’s fierce shark has a big upper lobe (叶), not the two even lobes of its original design. The two eyes on Google’s octopus (章鱼) are right where they belong — not in the center of its face, as initially shown, but on either side of its head.
“Emojis can open up a whole world of conversations with people who might not live next to the ocean. An emoji is a great way that people can share our culture and our values through these tiny, little, silly pictures on our phones.” said Simpson. Since emojis first appeared in the 1990s, Tech companies are constantly seeking new and improved characters. But before a proposed code can be included into an operating system, it must be approved by the emoji master, the Unicode Consortium, but it doesn’t govern accuracy. That falls to volunteers like Simpson.
Her official job is to develop and direct creative concepts for the aquarium (水族馆) on Monterey’s Canney Row. She describes herself as “a judge of Internet culture”. Her efforts are not all victorious, though. Simpson urged herself to relax its pufferfish, but her advice was disregarded. Expanded and pointed, “the poor creature remains stressed out!” she said. Similarly, the octopus on all platforms is missing several arms.
“Our team really enjoyed cooperating with the Monterey Bay Aquarium on marine emoji. When designing emojis, realness is key.” said Jennifer Daniel, the creative director for Google’s Android emoji.

The results of the artificial intelligence (AI) boom have found fertile ground in modern agriculture, from application systems to on-the-go machine operation adjustments. The industrial revolution of AI is promoting the rapid development of agriculture, as equipment makers create “smarter” machinery equipped with increasing amounts of background data and digital circuitry (电路) patterned after the human brain.
In a recent interview about the use of AI in production agriculture, John Deere’s President of Lifecycle Solutions, Justin Rose, said AI is essential to his company’s goal of helping farmers be more profitable and sustainable while using fewer resources: less land, chemicals and labor.
Rose points to Deere’s See & Spray technology and its use of AI to boost productivity through improved crop protection chemical use. “Traditional sprayers treat entire fields with herbicides, but our system uses 36 cameras and advanced machine learning to identify and spray only the weeds — while moving at 12-15 mph, covering 3 football field lengths per minute,” he says. He notes the system uses 70% less chemical than traditional application practices for significant improvements in profitability, sustainability and efficiency.
The examples of AI in agriculture are many, with ranks growing rapidly each year, but before farmers can benefit from these developments, they must first become familiar with the technology and how to operate it, stall settings, plan their season around the equipment and make in-season adjustments. AI is helping with this challenge. Farmers don’t have endless opportunities to get everything right, but with the help of AI, we can turn a farm career’s 40 harvests into 40,000 opportunities to learn and optimize (优化).
Rose says the AI race has just begun. “This is the slowest it’s ever going to go, and we’ re all going to have to raise our game and move more quickly all the time,” he explains. That involves those who design and program AI applications, those who depend upon them, and those who sell and service them.
8. How does Rose illustrate AI’s function in chemical use?
A. By giving an example. B. By giving a definition.
C. By making a comparison. D. By making an assumption.
9. What are farmers advised to do in paragraph 4?
A. Acquire knowledge of AI and apply it.
B. Adjust equipment according to the season.
C. Increase the number of harvests by using AI.
D. Take endless chances to get everything right.
10. What does Rose think of AI’s current application?
A. Immature. B. Fast-paced. C. Highly-developed. D. Complex.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. AI Will Replace Workers in Various Fields
B. AI Is Busier in Agriculture Than Many Realize
C. Farmers Say Goodbye to Traditional Agriculture
D. Aims of AI Are Changing in Developing Agriculture
D
As plastic waste continues to increase across the globe, creating serious environmental challenges, researchers are turning to nature for sustainable solutions. Maksud Rahman, an assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at the University of Houston, has developed an innovative method for transforming bacterial cellulose (细菌纤维素), a biodegradable material, into a multifunctional substance that could serve as a replacement for plastic.
This material holds promise for a wide range of uses. It could soon be used to create everyday items such as disposable water bottles, eco-friendly packaging, and even wound dressings, relying on bacterial cellulose, a naturally abundant and biodegradable biopolymer (生物聚合物) found in the environment. “We imagine these strong, multifunctional and eco-friendly bacterial cellulose sheets becoming common, replacing plastics in various industries and helping reduce environmental damage,” said Rahman, who is reporting his work in Nature Communications.
Growing concern over the harmful effects of petroleum-based, non-degradable materials on the environment has intensified the demand for sustainable alternatives, such as natural or biomaterials. Bacterial cellulose has emerged as a potential biomaterial that is naturally abundant, biodegradable, and biocompatible (生物相容的). To strengthen the cellulose and create more functionality, the research team added boron nitride nanosheets (氮化硼纳米片) to the liquid that feeds the bacteria and made a material called “bacterial cellulose-boron nitride hybrid nanosheets” with better mechanical properties and thermal (热的) properties.
Rahman said the approach producing strong and multifunctional bacterial cellulose sheets would pave the way towards applications in structural materials, thermal management, packaging, textiles, green electronics and energy storage. “We’re essentially guiding the bacteria to behave with purpose. Rather than moving randomly, we direct their motion, so they produce cellulose in an organized way. This controlled behavior, combined with our flexible biosynthesis (生物合成) method with various nanomaterials, enables us to achieve multifunctional properties in the material,” Rahman said.
“This work is a perfect example of interdisciplinary (跨学科的) science at the intersection of materials science, biology, and nanoengineering,” Rahman added.
12. Why does the author mention “plastic waste” in the beginning?
A. To present an idea. B. To explain a concept.
C. To make a prediction. D. To give background information.
13. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The features of the new material.
B. The potential application of the new material.
C. The ways of reducing environmental damage.
D The process of producing many everyday items.
14. What did the research team do to improve bacterial cellulose?
A. They changed the type of bacteria that produce cellulose.
B. They mixed nanomaterials into bacterial cellulose directly.
C. They added boron nitride nanosheets to the bacteria’s nutrient liquid.
D. They combined boron nitride nanosheets with bacterial cellulose completely.
15. Which of the following would Rahman agree with?
A. Cellulose is produced randomly.
B. Knowledge in a single field is applied.
C. The bacteria behave purposefully under guidance.
D. Cellulose sheets hardly benefit different applications.

The 20-5-3 Rule
You don’t need extreme diets or very tiring workout routines to boost your well-being. Enter the “20-5-3 rule” — research-backed formula (方案) to improve mental and physical health through time spent outdoors. Developed by neuroscientist Rachel Hopman of Northeastern University, ___16___
Twenty minutes, three times a week
The first step is to get out in nature for 20 minutes at least three times a week. Research from the University of Michigan shows this is the sweet spot for lowering cortisol, your body’s primary stress hormone. ___17___ Just sit or walk in a natural setting, exposed to sunlight and greenery. However, the lead author emphasizes the importance of disconnecting during these moments. Avoid “aerobic exercise, and avoid the use of social media, internet, phone calls, conversations and reading,” she said. Think of it as a mini escape, designed to reset your stress levels and help you feel grounded.
Five hours a month
For an even deeper mental reset, aim for five hours a month in semi-wild spaces, such as state parks. ___18___ Finnish researchers agree, finding wilder settings, with their organic “chaos”, help increase cognitive resources and foster sense of calm.
Three days annually
Immerse yourself in nature for three days annually. Long-time exposure to wild landscapes activates alpha brain waves — those linked to meditation, creativity and deep relaxation, Men’s Health reported. ___19___ A four-day wilderness trip can reduce PTSD (创伤后应激障碍) symptoms by 29% and stress by 21%, with effects lingering for weeks afterward.
So the next time you find yourself needing a “reset”, head outside for a quick lunchtime walk, or plan a weekend in the woods. ___20___
A. Better yet, you don’t need to sweat it out.
B. it is quite energy-consuming yet rewarding as well.
C. Studies even show profound benefits for mental health.
D. More importantly, we can broaden our horizons and keep fit.
E. Best of all, it’s free, accessible and waiting just outside your door.
F. this method emphasizes small, manageable steps that can lead to big rewards.
G. Studies show these environments provide heightened relaxation compared to city parks.

47. 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 never imagined I’d spend my mornings walking around the Washington Monument, with a trash bag in one hand and a grabber in the other. Yet, here I am. Each day, before the crowds arrive, I make my way there. Bottles, cigarette butts (烟头), plastic wrappers... it doesn’t matter. Actually I’ve seen messes far worse at other places, where the scattered (分散) litter everywhere really made me feel sick.
At first, being out there, keeping something iconic clean, gave me a sense of purpose. A clean environment not only keeps us healthy and in good spirits but also preserves ecological balance for all living beings. But it didn’t take long for me to notice the stare. Some people nodded, perhaps thinking it was admirable. Others? I’d catch them whispering, looking at me as if I were some pitiful charity case.
Last Tuesday, I overheard a man say, “Bet he’s doing community service or something.” His friend laughed quietly. I kept my head down. I wanted to turn around and explain exactly why I was there and what it meant to me. But I didn’t. I just kept going.
Then, this morning, something unexpected happened. There was an envelope under one of the benches I usually clear. No name, just the messy words “FOR YOU” on it. I stared at it, wondering if someone had left it intentionally… or if it was just more trash.
The first thought that crossed my mind was that maybe someone thought I was homeless. You know how people sometimes leave gift cards or a few dollars in an envelope for those they assume are struggling? I’m not homeless though I live in a modest studio apartment. I tried to shake it off, telling myself, “You won’t know what’s inside until you open it.”
I held the envelope for what felt like an eternity (永恒), scanning the park. There were the usual joggers and dog walkers, but no one seemed to be waiting for my reaction. Nobody was watching intently. It felt genuine — or maybe it was just random.
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。
Paragraph 1: Eventually curiosity got the better of me, and I opened it.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Inspired and determined, I followed my usual routine the next morning.
