第二节
One possible version:
One day.outside a coffee shop.he observed an interaction between a young woman and a homeless man.
The homeless man asked the young lady if she could spare change.And she said."Why don't you go to look for
a job?"Kon reflected back to that moment five years earlier.when the woman in Nairobi had mistaken him for a
homeless person.Kon was still touched by her kindness.So he went up to the man to see what he could do.He
told Kon why he was on the street-because he made a mistake when he was in high school.and he couldn't get
a job then.
After learning the young man's story.Kon knew it was time to pass on what that kind lady had done to
him.Kon bought the man some breakfast.and gave him a little bit of money.The young man was moved to
tears and thanked him again and again.Today,it's an encounter he reflects on often.For him.it was a reminder
that you never know what people are going through unless you make a point to talk to them-the way the woman
in Nairobi made an effort to talk to him.Kon hopes in the future he could start a non-profit organization to
provide housing and social support for people living on the streel-an idea partly inspired by his unsung hero.

savings through phone calls a few months earlier.
Another one called Red &Yellow Care is a health care service.According to the direetor Mike Hart,their
staff is trained to be able to explain their service in a simple and clear way,and unafraid of repcating the
information.All the training is to provide safer and friendlier service for the elderly.
Then there is Safeway,a supermarket chain.One of the staff,Martin Bateman says that he and his
co-workers now ask older customers more frequently if they need help at the checkouts.These customers may
not know what to do with the self-checkout machines.All in all,the elderly are gaining increasing attention
from the society.They'll be living longer and better.

For decades,Jean Moffatt has been reaching out over the airwaves.As an amateur(
)radio operator,Moffatt has connected with people worldwide."By sending signals to
satellites,I've talked to people from the Arctic to the Antarctic,"Moffatt said.And on
Wednesday at the Ontario Science Centre,the 96-year-old got to go even further.
An amateur radio connection allowed the senior and students to speak with Commander
Luca aboard the International Space Station.By connection,Moffatt told the astronaut she
was very excited,admitting that this was an unrealized dream she had for many years.Then
Moffatt asked if Luca could keep the space station clean and tidy,adding that as a "mature
woman"she had done lots of cleaning in her life.
When Moffatt was a young girl,she moved to Toronto with her family,hoping there
would be chances for a girl interested in science.She desperately wanted to go to university,
but moving house placed a significant burden()on their finances.Not discouraged,she
took a course in amateur radio,then a popular technology,and shortly after she got her
license.After retiring,Moffatt started volunteering at the Ontario Science Centre.With her
radio license,she helped set up the centre's first radio shack(无线电设备室).
The idea to connect with the International Space Station came just after Moffatt's 36th
birthday.Finally after 60 years with the help of amateur radio operators and NASA,Moffatt
made her connection.While the connection wasn't very clear,she was moved to tears,telling
those who had gathered to watch that it was the "highlight"of her life.

Can a robot help speed up Christmas deliveries?The city of Helsinki is finding out.A
trial in Finland's capital is using a delivery robot in two neighbourhoods to see if this new,
self-driving and pollution-free method could help with the holiday stress.
The HeRo robot that is being tested,is a project of Forum Virium,an innovative Finnish
company.The trial will be running through the end of December.The goal is to show how
packages can be quickly delivered to people's homes with great accuracy even during the
holiday season.
HeRo is not just a delivery robot,it's electric and operates without any dangerous
emissions,plus it is self-navigating()and talks.The delivery robot was made by the
French robotics firm TwinswHeel and uses an interface created by the Finnish company
LMAD.The four-wheeled vehicle can carry up to 300 kilograms and can travel up to 20
kilometres on just one charge of its lithium()battery pack.HeRo uses a combination of
GPS and onboard sensors to run through the city's streets.
HeRo can carry several orders at once.Each order is in a separate locker and customers
can open their lockers electronically.In just one hour,the robot delivers packages from a few
shops to people in the Ruoholahti and North Jatkasaari areas.No other delivery service is as
fast or as clean.
This isn't HeRo's first appearance on Helsinki streets.From May to August,there was a
first phase trial.It carried packages from Wurth Centre (a place that gives tools and supplies
for industry)to nearby workplaces.These trials are part of the international URBANE
project.The project wants to find new,green ways to make logistics better for both
companies and people.Soon,there will be new trials in cities in Spain and Greece.Using self-
driving robots for zero-emission delivery is an idea that should be used all over the world.
28.What is the purpose of the trial in Helsinki?
A.To find out if robots can speed up Christmas deliveries.
B.To see if robots can replace human delivery workers.
C.To check if robots can improve the accuracy of deliveries
D.To test if robots can reduce pollution during Christmas.
29.Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of the HeRo robot?
A.It has onboard sensors.
B.It is self-navigating.
C.It can travel unlimited distances on one charge.
D.It can carry up to 300 kilograms.

30.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.The URBANE project only focuses on Helsinki.
B.New trials will be expanded to other cities.
C.The HeRo robot has been on the streets of Helsinki only once.
D.Zero emission delivery is already widely applied.
31.What is the best title for the text?
A.Robots Are Helping to Deliver Packages
B.Pollution-free Method Proves Popular
C.Helsinki Takes the Lead in Holiday Deliveries
D.A Delivery Robot Improves Service Quality
D
In a groundbreaking study in 2024,biologists discovered that plants communicate
through complex networks of fungal-threads().When attacked by insects,bean plants
release chemical signals through these threads,warning neighbouring plants to produce
poison.Dr.Elena Torres,lead researcher,compares it to an"underground Internet"."One
stressed plant can activate defenses across an entire forest,"she says.This finding challenges
the view that plants are passive organisms.
Sound also plays a role.Using highly sensitive microphones,scientists recorded
ultrasonic pulses(超声波的)given off by corn sprouts under drought stress..When these
recordings were played to other plants,their roots grew towards the sound source."It's as if
they're hearting'their peers'distress,"explains Dr.Hiroshi Nakamura.In another
experiment,pea plants that were exposed to the sound of caterpillars eating leaves produced
higher levels of defensive chemicals.This sound signaling could change pest control in
agriculture.
Critics urge caution.Dr.Emily Carter argues,"We're personifying plants.These
reactions are biochemical,not conscious communication."Moral debates also arise:If plants
sense pain,should vegan diets be reconsidered?Torres responds firmly:"Plants lack nervous
systems.Stress responses are survival mechanisms,not sentience."Meanwhile,farmers in
Brazil already use "plant whisperer"devices that translate leaf vibrations into data,predicting
pest outbreaks days before visible damage.
The consequences are vast.Geneticists are engineering crops with enhanced signaling
abilities,creating "warning systems"for droughts or diseases.In Kenya,farmers grow corn
together with signal-producing plants that prevent insects naturally."This could reduce
pesticide use by 70%,"says agronomist Kwame Okafor.As research speeds up,we edge
closer to a world where forests“speak”,fields“warn”,and gardens“guide”-a silent
dialogue that has been going on beneath our feet for ages,now interpreted by science.
Recent advancements aim to apply plant communication commercially.A startup
PhytoTech developed a sensor that interprets plant chemical SOS signals,notifying farmers
via app to water or fertilize.Trials in California vineyards reduced crop loss by 25%.
However,critics warn against over-reliance:"Nature's language is complex,"says ecologist
Dr.Rachel Lin."Simplifying it to apps risks missing deeper connections.
32.How do bean plants respond to insect attacks according to Paragraph 1?
A.By attracting helpful insects.
B.By growing thicker leaves.
C.By producing complex sounds.
D.By releasing chemical warnings.
33.What do you know about the pea plant experiment deseribed in Paragraph 2?
A.Plants ignore droughts.
B.Plants prefer silence.
C.Plants respond to pest sounds.
D.Plants react to water sounds.
34.What does the underlined word "sentience"mean in Paragraph 3?
A.Balance.
B.Feeling.
C.Competition.
D.Information.

How can you better understand body language to feel more confident and be more
effective in a range of situations?If you are struggling to understand how to interpret body
language of colleagues in different cultural contexts and how to respond,you may find
yourself 56 (search)for a checklist of dos and don'ts.But this isn't necessarily the 57
(great)approach.Besides,you can start your interpretation by analysing groups,rather
58 looking at each gesture in isolation.
For example,imagine that you are presenting an idea for a new process in a meeting,and
your boss is smiling.Many experts would advise you that smiling is 59 (cultural)
universal,so you might assume that your boss must be happy with your presentation.However,
making this 60 (assume)without deeper investigation could prove problematic.If you take
61 second look at your boss,you might notice that she is also laughing slightly,looking
down and moving her pen.This could mean a range of different things.How can you
understand your boss's reaction correctly?The answer is to check that your analysis of their
body language matches with 62 the person says and how they say it.
To understand the cultural influences 63 have led to her behaviour,it is first
important to understand what cultural identity is.Many people use the terms"culture"and
"nationality"interchangeably.However,generalising 64 (base)only on nationality can be
risky.To help avoid this,the British Council65 (develop)a description of culture in the
last few years.

Biar Kon grew up in a shelter in Kenya,after his parents were forced to migrate from
neighbouring Sudan.When he was 17,he moved to Nairobi,the capital of Kenya,to attend
school.
Once he arrived,he needed to get some documents from the Sudanese embassy().
But when he went to look for the embassy,he couldn't find it.He asked a few people for
directions,and no one knew where it was.Then an older woman tapped him on the back.
The lady said to him,“Hey,my son..”“That was the first word,"Kon recalled.“She
said,'Hey,my son,how are you doing?'"The woman told Kon that she had seen him asking
questions of multiple people as they passed,and she wondered if he needed money for food,or
a place to stay.Then Kon realized that the woman thought he was homeless.
"Because in Kenya,it's very common,"Kon said."Kids at 17,kids at 15,kids at 12-
kids of any age can be on the street looking for survival.
They cleared up the confusion,and the woman was able to give Kon directions to the
embassy.Then she told him about the deeper reason she had asked if he needed help:because
of her experience as a mother.
"I wouldn't want my child to be on the street,"the woman told him."And anytime I see
a child on the street,I feel like I have an obligation(义务)to help.”
The woman's generosity left a deep impression on Kon.And it inspired him to pay it
forward,five years later,when he moved to Boston,Massachusetts.
When he arrived there,Kon expected that everyone he saw would be well-off and
successful.So he was shocked at the number of homeless people he encountered on the street.
