Now her new project,"Preserving Legacies",helps global heritage sites fight climate threats.One in six cultural sites is at risk-like Pakistan's Mohenjo Daro flooded this year.Herrmann's team creates detailed climate models for each site and trains locals to make adaptation plans. Take the Ifugao Rice Terraces in the Philippines for example.Herrmann's team worked with locals to map out values of the site.They'll do the same in Petra,Jordan next month."We need community trust,"she says.

Experts say the rise in young diabetics is due to oily and sugary diets,unhealthy daily routines,and lack of knowledge about chronic diseases.Many young people think such diseases only affect the elderly and seek treatment only after severe complications occur.Dr.Yao suggested enhancing health education for teenagers, monitoring their diets,and ensuring enough time for sports. 28.What does the data from Dr.Guo Xiaohui show?

C.Providing more health education for teenagers. D.Making laws to limit young people's use of social media. D Traditional crafts are connecting heritage with modern fashion,creating a mixture of old and new.Xiong Songtao,a master of enamel craft(搪瓷工艺)，has used the Chinese cloisonne(景泰蓝)technique,an intangible cultural heritage to make high-precision watch dials.His family brand,Xiong's Enamel,has gained international fame through a partnership with Spanish luxury brand Loewe.For the Chinese Year of the Snake, they created cloisonne nest bags with snake heads and lotus patterns,as well as necklaces with snake,monkey, and cloud themes. This collaboration (shows a growing trend that international luxury brands are turning to China's craft heritage to enter the Chinese market.On June 14,2025,China celebrated Cultural and Natural Heritage Day,highlighting the rising importance of intangible heritage.Such partnerships bring synergy which helps brands gain cultural depth while promoting traditional crafts. Loewe isn't alone.Italian brand Fendi worked with Yi ethnic artisans on a bag with traditional embroidery, and French brand Dior used ronghua,a Tang Dynasty craft,in its designs.Professor Wei Xiang notes that 英语试卷（第5页共9页） China's large market drives these cultural collaborations Young Chinese consumers,especially Gen Z,those born between the mid-1990s and the early 2000s,are key.They prefer experiences and support homegrown brands,a trend called "guochao".Xiong says their cloisonne pieces for Loewe meet strict standards,using wires as thin as 0.04mm."Our craft is excellent,our brand is rising,and China is stronger,"he says,summing up the trend. 32.What did Loewe and Xiong's Enamel create for the Year of the Snake?

Draw A Line Mentally Life throws problems your way,and you need mental preparation.You might repeat the same mistakes or stay in toxic situations.Drawing a mental line helps mark future decisions:past experiences are part of the problem,and what comes next is part of the solution.37 Use this"page break"to gain courage,heal, and leave guilt behind.The secret is to never stop trying-quitting means stagnation. 38 Many of us try to solve problems alone,leading to self-sabotage().To escape,involve others:family or close friends who uplift you.Seek those who've overcome similar struggles-they understand your hardships.Learn from their patterns:some plan solutions,while others live them.Choose the latter. Try Everything In Your Hands You can't move on until you've tried all options.Sometimes it feels like nothing works,but giving up is easy-persisting is hard but worthwhile.Avoid generic solutions(pills,counseling,etc.)that drain you.39 Test unconventional approaches;they might surprise you. 英语试卷（第6页共9页） Let Go Of Your Past To move on,release past guilt and resentment ()Negative feelings are counterproductive,even if you justify them.Forgive those who hurt you and seek understanding. 40 Forgive yourself too-you did your best,and mistakes are human.Look to the future with a gentle tone.

D.It's easier to forgive others than to forgive ourselves,but both are necessary. E.Treat these experiences as lessons,not hurdles,to avoid repeating mistakes. F.Instead,think outside the box and try solutions you've never considered.

Two weeks ago,on her birthday,I gave her a goldfish as a present.She loved it,named it Peppy and watched it swim freely in the glass container every day after school.She really enjoyed the delight the little angel brought.But recently I found the goldfish a little listless,staying at the bottom of the container most of the time. One day after lunch,Dolly looked up at Mum and said,"Mum,I want to go to the lake.We go there on Sundays.” "We can't go today,dear.I have something else to do."Mother said as she walked towards her and took the bowl away.Dolly looked a little unhappy,with eyebrows frowned. "Shama,"Suddenly,Dolly whispered to me,leaning as close to me as her small frame would allow her while still sitting on the chair."Would you come with me?" I felt hesitant,but her unfamiliar stubbornness made me curious.What did she want to do at the lake?Still for the red fish?There was red fish in the lake.She had seen some coming to the shore every Sunday. “Are you sure?Mom will be mad if we get caught..” “We''ll come back in time before mom knows it..”Dolly gave a mischievous(调皮的)smile and slid out of her chair.I followed her out of the kitchen and came to the front door.Luckily,it didn't lock.But as soon as we got ready to force out of the door,Dolly turned back and ran into the house again.I couldn't shout out her name for fear that Mum could hear me but waited nervously. 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。 A moment later she came back,holding something in her hand.
