Jane Goodall is a name deeply connected with wildlife protection. Her groundbreaking work, which began in 1960 in Tanzania’s Gombe Stream National Park, completely changed how scientists view animal intelligence and what makes humans unique. Without a college degree at first, Goodall used great patience and an open mind to study chimpanzees. She didn’t see them just as animals, but as individuals with their own personalities, feelings, and social lives.
A key moment came when a chimp she named David Greybeard allowed her to watch him closely. She saw him change a twig by removing its leaves and use it to “fish” for termites (白蚁). This was a major discovery because, at that time, scientists believed only humans could make and use tools. This finding challenged the idea that humans were completely different from other animals. As the well-known anthropologist (人类学家) Louis Leakey said, it forced science to rethink the definition of “human.”
Goodall’s long-term observations led to strong personal connections with the chimps, especially a mother named Flo and her family. These relationships gave her deep insights into their family life and social behavior. Her unusual path — earning a PhD from Cambridge University without first getting a bachelor’s degree — showed her strong dedication. Knowing she needed to do more, she started the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) in 1977. This organization leads global protection efforts and runs youth programs like “Roots & Shoots,” while also supporting women in science.
Jane Goodall’s legacy (传承) goes far beyond her scientific discoveries. She showed the world that animals have complex emotions and intelligence, which helps people respect nature more. Even into her nineties, she continued to inspire millions to protect wildlife and their habitats. Through her life’s work, Goodall taught us that understanding and valuing other species is essential for the health of our planet and for our own humanity.
24. Why is Jane Goodall’s work called “groundbreaking”?
A. Changed views on animal intelligence. B. Proved all animals use tools.
C. Created new research methods. D. Showed women can be scientists.
25. How did Goodall discover chimpanzees using tools?
A. By reviewing existing theories. B. By conducting experiments.
C. By watching David Greybeard. D. By consulting local guides.
26. What does Goodall’s bond with Flo show?
A. Short-term studies are effective. B. Tool usage requires long observation.
C. Academic degrees ensure discovery. D. Emotional connection deepens research.
27. How does the text develop its main idea about Goodall?
A. By comparing different research methods. B. By moving from discovery to influence.
C. By listing life events in time order. D. By focusing on early African research.
【答案】24. A 25. C 26. D 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了野生动物保护先驱珍·古道尔的传奇经历。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“Her groundbreaking work, which began in 1960 in Tanzania’s Gombe Stream National Park, completely changed how scientists view animal intelligence and what makes humans unique.(她的开创性工作始于1960年坦桑尼亚的贡贝溪国家公园,彻底改变了科学家对动物智力和人类独特之处的看法)”可知,她的工作之所以被称为“开创性”,是因为她改变了科学界对动物智能的认知。故选A。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“A key moment came when a chimp she named David Greybeard allowed her to watch him closely. She saw him change a twig by removing its leaves and use it to “fish” for termites (白蚁).(关键时刻到来了,一只名叫大卫·格雷伯德的黑猩猩允许她近距离观察它。她看到它把一根树枝的叶子去掉,然后用它来“钓”白蚁)”可知,古道尔是通过亲自观察大卫·格雷伯德这只猩猩的行为而发现它们使用工具的。故选C。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Goodall’s long-term observations led to strong personal connections with the chimps, especially a mother named Flo and her family. These relationships gave her deep insights into their family life and social behavior.(古道尔的长期观察使她与黑猩猩,尤其是一只名叫Flo的母亲及其家人建立了密切的个人联系。这些关系使她对他们的家庭生活和社会行为有了深刻的了解)”可知,她与Flo的情感联系帮助她获得了对黑猩猩社会的深刻理解。故选D。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。文章首先介绍了珍·古道尔在坦桑尼亚的研究工作,包括她对黑猩猩使用工具的发现,这是她的科学发现;接着讲述了她与黑猩猩建立的情感联系以及她创立的机构和开展的项目;最后强调了她的遗产超越了科学发现,她向世界展示了动物有复杂的情感和智力,激励人们保护野生动物和它们的栖息地。文章是从她的发现逐步阐述到她的影响来展开的。故选B。
C
Recently, videos of using AI to select watermelons go viral on social media, claiming the technology can pick sweet fruit. As watermelon season approaches, many people find buying a watermelon like opening a surprise box. Will it be a dud? To put AI to the test, a reporter from xxcb.cn visited a store in Changsha, Central China’s Hunan Province to conduct an experiment. The reporter took photos and numbered eight watermelons, which allowed for clear identification and comparison later, and then had AI select the sweetest one.
One AI software program admitted it couldn’t judge sweetness of the numbered watermelons. “Usually methods to determine the sweetness of a watermelon include observing the appearance, weight, and sound of the watermelon. Tapping (拍) the watermelon can also be used to determine its sweetness.” the AI software explained.
Another gave tips on what to look for in choosing a sweet watermelon. “Based on the shape of the watermelon, rounder watermelons usually indicate a more uniform internal structure, which may be a sign of higher sweetness. In the image, watermelons 1 and 8 look rounder and larger, indicating higher sweetness. However, the final sweetness needs to be confirmed by taste,” the AI software said. Following the AI’s recommendation, the reporter decided to put these two to the test. After cutting open watermelons 1 and 8, both were red and juicy, but watermelon 1 was slightly sweeter.
So, is using AI to pick fruit dependable? According to an AI expert, AI can provide helpful suggestions based on visual and base knowledge, but it’s not absolutely right. While AI can be a useful tool for those unsure how to choose a melon, experienced individuals may still rely on traditional methods like tapping and smelling. Eventually, the decision on which watermelon to choose may still come down to personal preference and practical experience.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了用人工智能挑选西瓜的测试,记者通过实验测试了不同的人工智能软件在挑选西瓜方面的表现,并探讨了人工智能在挑选水果方面的可靠性。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段划线词上文“As watermelon season approaches, many people find buying a watermelon like opening a surprise box.(随着西瓜季临近,不少人觉得买西瓜就像开盲盒)”和下文“To put AI to the test, a reporter from xxcb.cn visited a store in Changsha, Central China’s Hunan Province to conduct an experiment.(为验证人工智能的挑选效果,星辰在线的一名记者前往中国中部湖南省长沙市的一家门店做了个实验)”可知,买西瓜时人们往往不确定西瓜是否甜,因此“dud”在这里应该指的是“无味的东西”或“不好的东西”。故选C。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Usually, methods to determine the sweetness of a watermelon include observing the appearance, weight, and sound of the watermelon. Tapping (拍) the watermelon can also be used to determine its sweetness.(通常,确定西瓜甜度的方法包括观察西瓜的外观、重量和声音。拍打西瓜也可以用来确定它的甜度)”可知,第一个AI承认它无法判断编号西瓜的甜度,是因为它更倾向于结合更多的数据来判断。故选B。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Based on the shape of the watermelon, rounder watermelons usually indicate a more uniform internal structure, which may be a sign of higher sweetness. In the image, watermelons 1 and 8 look rounder and larger, indicating higher sweetness.(根据西瓜的形状,更圆的西瓜通常表明内部结构更均匀,这可能是甜度更高的标志。在图片中,西瓜1和8看起来更圆更大,表明甜度更高)”可知,第二个AI与第一个AI的不同之处在于它将甜度与大小联系起来,认为更圆更大的西瓜甜度更高。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“According to an AI expert, AI can provide helpful suggestions based on visual and base knowledge, but it’s not absolutely right. While AI can be a useful tool for those unsure how to choose a melon, experienced individuals may still rely on traditional methods like tapping and smelling. Eventually, the decision on which watermelon to choose may still come down to personal preference and practical experience.(据一位人工智能专家称,人工智能可以根据视觉和基础知识提供有用建议,但这并不绝对正确。虽然人工智能对于那些不确定如何选择西瓜的人来说是一个有用的工具,但有经验的人可能仍然依赖传统的拍打和闻气味等方法。最终,选择哪个西瓜的决定可能仍然取决于个人偏好和实际经验)”可知,作者对AI挑选西瓜的态度是客观的,既指出了AI的优点,也指出了其局限性。故选A。
D
Because coffee contains caffeine (咖啡因), people have long wondered whether drinking it might “jazz up” the heart, resulting in sensations such as a skipped, missed, rapid, strong, or irregular heartbeat.
However, people who drink moderate amounts of coffee — such as one to three cups per day — appear to have a lower risk of atrial fibrillation (心房颤动), according to a 2019 study co-authored by Dr. Gaziano. The study found that those who drank more or less coffee were neither more nor less likely to develop this condition. Like much of the dietary research, that study was observational: participants reported what they consumed, and researchers tracked their health over many years. However, the new study took a different approach, directly measuring the short-term effects of coffee consumption.
“This new study provides an important piece of the puzzle,” says Dr. Gaziano. One finding — that people took more steps on coffee-drinking days — supports other research showing that caffeine can slightly improve physical performance. On the other hand, caffeine’s negative effects on sleep are well known, and insufficient sleep is increasingly recognized as a risk to cardiovascular health. Over time, consistently poor sleep can lead to more serious health problems than just heart palpitations (悸动).
It is hard to know whether the extra exercise compensates for the reduced sleep that may result from drinking coffee. Most people understand how their bodies react to coffee and adjust their intake accordingly, notes Dr. Gaziano. Individual differences in caffeine metabolism also mean that the same amount of coffee can affect people very differently.
Like all studies, however, this one has limitations. For instance, it included only relatively young, healthy coffee drinkers. Therefore, the findings may not apply to older people, who are more likely to experience palpitations. In fact, those who avoid coffee — and thus were not included in the study — may do so precisely because they notice it causes palpitations.
32. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?
A. By picturing situations. B. By providing statistics.
C. By posing a problem. D. By quoting an expert.
33. What was special about the 2019 study?
A. It observed sleep patterns. B. It assessed immediate impact.
C. It surveyed non-coffee drinkers. D. It focused on long-term fitness.
34. Why does Dr. Gaziano mention sleep and exercise?
A. To show coffee’s mixed effects. B. To compare two research types.
C. To suggest methods to stay healthy. D. To prove coffee energizes drinkers.
35. What limits the new study’s findings?
A. Improper data processing. B. Narrow participant range.
C. Small sample size. D. Short study period.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. A 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了咖啡因摄入对心脏健康的影响,介绍了一项关于咖啡饮用与心房颤动风险关系的研究,并讨论了咖啡因对睡眠和运动的双重作用及其个体差异,同时指出了相关研究的局限性。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Because coffee contains caffeine (咖啡因), people have long wondered whether drinking it might ‘jazz up’ the heart, resulting in sensations such as a skipped, missed, rapid, strong, or irregular heartbeat.(由于咖啡中含有咖啡因,人们一直想知道喝咖啡是否会让心脏‘活跃’起来,导致心跳跳过、错过、快速、强烈或不规则等感觉)”可知,作者是通过提出一个长期存在的疑问(咖啡是否会‘刺激’心脏)来引入话题的,这是“提出问题”的方式。故选C项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“…according to a 2019 study co-authored by Dr. Gaziano. The study found that those who drank more or less coffee were neither more nor less likely to develop this condition. Like much of the dietary research, that study was observational: participants reported what they consumed, and researchers tracked their health over many years.(……根据加齐亚诺博士2019年与人合著的一项研究。这项研究发现,那些喝咖啡多或少的人患这种疾病的可能性既没有增加也没有减少。和许多饮食研究一样,这项研究是观察性的:参与者报告了他们吃了什么,研究人员对他们的健康状况进行了多年的追踪记录)”可知,2019年的研究特点是追踪参与者多年的健康状况,这表明它关注的是长期影响。故选D项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“On the other hand, caffeine’s negative effects on sleep are well known, and insufficient sleep is increasingly recognized as a risk to cardiovascular health. Over time, consistently poor sleep can lead to more serious health problems than just heart palpitations(另一方面,咖啡因对睡眠的负面影响是众所周知的,睡眠不足越来越被认为是心血管健康的风险。随着时间的推移,持续的睡眠不足会导致比心悸更严重的健康问题)”及第四段“It is hard to know whether the extra exercise compensates for the reduced sleep that may result from drinking coffee.(很难知道额外的锻炼是否能弥补喝咖啡可能导致的睡眠减少)”可知,他在指出咖啡因能让人在饮用当天行走更多步数、从而提升运动表现这一积极作用后,紧接着用On the other hand进行转折,阐述了咖啡因对睡眠的众所周知的负面影响以及睡眠不足对心血管健康的危害。后文又提到也不知道额外运动能否弥补咖啡导致的睡眠不足。这种将正反两方面效应并列阐述的论述方式,表明其意图在于揭示咖啡因对人体具有双重且复杂的影响,即混合效应,而非单一地强调其好处或坏处。故选A项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。此题问该研究的局限所在,根据最后一段“Like all studies, however, this one has limitations. For instance, it included only relatively young, healthy coffee drinkers. Therefore, the findings may not apply to older people, who are more likely to experience palpitations. In fact, those who avoid coffee — and thus were not included in the study — may do so precisely because they notice it causes palpitations.(然而,像所有的研究一样,这项研究也有局限性。例如,它只包括相对年轻、健康的咖啡饮用者。因此,这些发现可能不适用于更容易出现心悸的老年人。事实上,那些不喝咖啡的人——因此没有被纳入研究——可能恰恰是因为他们注意到咖啡会引起心悸)”可知,该研究的参与者仅局限于相对年轻和健康的个体并且不包括不喝咖啡的人,群体范围非常狭窄,而非样本大小或研究周期等问题。故选B项。
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。
Do cats cry? Cats can and do have emotions. ___36___ If you’ve seen a cat with tears in their eyes at around the same time that they are upset or sad, it’s probably just a coincidence (巧合).
Cats can read human facial expressions, and they can experience a wide range of feelings about humans and other animals. ___37___ For example, cats that are anxious, angry, or upset may make sounds similar to a human whine (哀鸣). In this sense, the animal is “crying” vocally. However, human beings are the only animals that cry when experiencing strong emotions or pain.
If you see your cat tearing up, it’s important to know that they are not expressing a strong emotion. Occasional tearing may not matter, but should still be checked by a vet (兽医). In some cases, tearing can indicate a condition that may become serious without treatment.
___38___
While cats certainly do have emotions, such as sadness or depression, they will never cry to show those feelings. ___39___ If you are concerned about your pet’s emotions, look for other signs such as disinterest in food. These issues can also be a sign of pain or illness.
___40___ Cats tend to be happiest when they are involved in natural behaviors like climbing, hunting, and running. Also, consider adding things like cat trees and toys to your home to keep your cat busy. If your cat still seems upset after these changes, turn to an animal behavior professional for further assistance.
A. Taking your cat out for a walk cheers them up.
B. When they experience these feelings, they act accordingly.
C. If your cat is healthy, try to enrich its environment.
D. Often, changes in a cat’s behavior can indicate medical issues.
E. Thus, you’d better have your cat carefully examined.
F. Cats’ eyes may water, but they don’t cry emotionally.
G. However, they do not know how to express emotions.
【答案】36. F 37. B 38. E 39. D 40. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了猫咪是否像人类一样会因情感而哭泣,解释了猫咪流泪通常是生理原因而非情感表达,并给出了如何识别猫咪真实情绪及照顾猫咪的建议。
【36题详解】
前文“Cats can and do have emotions.(猫确实也有情感)”提出“猫咪能够并且确实拥有情感”,后文“If you’ve seen a cat with tears in their eyes at around the same time that they are upset or sad, it’s probably just a coincidence (巧合).(如果你看到一只猫在难过或悲伤的同时眼睛里含着泪水,那可能只是巧合)”则指出“如果你看到猫咪眼里有泪,那也很可能只是巧合”。F项“Cats’ eyes may water, but they don’t cry emotionally.(猫咪的眼睛可能会流泪,但它们并不会因情感而哭泣。)”完美地承接了前后文:它首先承认了前文的情感前提,然后引出“流泪”这一生理现象,并明确将其与情感性哭泣区分开来,从而自然引导至后文关于“巧合”的论述。故选F。
【37题详解】
前文“Cats can read human facial expressions, and they can experience a wide range of feelings about humans and other animals.(猫可以读懂人类的面部表情,它们可以体验到对人类和其他动物的各种感觉)”提到“猫咪能够读懂人类面部表情,并能对人和其它动物产生广泛的情感”,后文“For example, cats that are anxious, angry, or upset may make sounds similar to a human whine (哀鸣).(例如,焦虑、生气或沮丧的猫可能会发出类似于人类哀鸣的声音)”则举例说明“焦虑、生气或不安的猫咪可能会发出类似人类哀鸣的声音”。B项“When they experience these feelings, they act accordingly.(当它们经历这些情感时,会相应地采取行动。)”是对前文“有情绪”的延伸,且能引出后文的具体行为例子,逻辑连贯。故选B。
【38题详解】
前文“In some cases, tearing can indicate a condition that may become serious without treatment.(在某些情况下,流泪可以表明病情得不到治疗可能会变得严重)”阐述了猫咪流泪的可能原因及风险,指出“在某些情况下,流泪可能预示着一种若不加以治疗就会变得严重的状况”。E项“Thus, you’d better have your cat carefully examined.(因此,你最好让兽医仔细检查你的猫。)”是前文逻辑的自然结论。它基于前文提到的健康风险,给出了直接且合理的建议,其中的“Thus”清晰地表明了这种因果关系。故选E。
【39题详解】
前文“While cats certainly do have emotions, such as sadness or depression, they will never cry to show those feelings.(虽然猫确实有情绪,比如悲伤或抑郁,但它们永远不会用哭泣来表达这些情绪)”强调“虽然猫咪确实有情感,但它们永远不会通过哭泣来表达这些感受”,后文“If you are concerned about your pet’s emotions, look for other signs such as disinterest in food. These issues can also be a sign of pain or illness.(如果你担心你的宠物的情绪,寻找其他迹象,如对食物不感兴趣。这些问题也可能是疼痛或疾病的征兆)”则建议“如果你担心宠物的情绪,可以寻找其他迹象,比如对食物失去兴趣”。D项“Often, changes in a cat’s behavior can indicate medical issues.(通常,猫咪行为的改变可能预示着健康问题。)”在此处承上启下。它既是对前文“不会用哭泣表达”的延伸(暗示应关注其他行为变化),又直接引出了后文关于具体迹象(如厌食)的讨论,后文的“These issues”也正是指代像行为改变这类问题。故选D。
【40题详解】
该空位于末段段首,需要是一个能够统领全段的主题句。后文“Cats tend to be happiest when they are involved in natural behaviors like climbing, hunting, and running. Also, consider adding things like cat trees and toys to your home to keep your cat busy. If your cat still seems upset after these changes, turn to an animal behavior professional for further assistance.(猫在参与攀爬、狩猎和奔跑等自然行为时往往是最快乐的。此外,考虑在你的家里添加一些像猫树和玩具这样的东西,让你的猫忙起来。如果你的猫在这些改变后仍然看起来很沮丧,向动物行为专业人士寻求进一步的帮助)”详细描述了如何通过提供攀爬、狩猎等自然行为以及添置猫树、玩具来让猫咪保持快乐和忙碌。C项“If your cat is healthy, try to enrich its environment.(如果你的猫很健康,试着丰富它的环境。)”正是对后文所有这些具体措施的总括,明确给出了在健康前提下改善猫咪情绪和生活质量的核心方向。故选C。

考查动词时态和语态。句意:在微博平台上,汉服话题迄今已获得超过48.9亿次的观看量,而在抖音(中国版的TikTok)上,相关视频的观看量已超过477亿次。分析句子成分可知,空处为句中谓语,主语为“videos”;且主语与“view”之间为被动关系;再根据“has garnered”、“to date”和“more than 47.7 billion times”可知,此处强调过去动作对现在的影响和结果,应使用现在完成时的被动语态。故填have been viewed。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之成为一篇完整的短文。
Tim was a senior high school student who loved giving nicknames (绰号) to his classmates. However, almost all the nicknames he came up with were meant to mock (嘲笑) his classmates. For example, he called Lisa “Big Glasses” just because she wore thick-framed glasses to see clearly. Mike, who was a little heavier than others, was given the nickname “Fatty” by Tim.
The classmates didn’t like Tim’s behavior at all. Lisa once told Tim sadly, “Please don’t call me ‘Big Glasses’ anymore. It really hurts my feelings.” Mike also warned Tim, “If you keep calling me ‘Fatty’, I won’t talk to you.” But Tim paid no attention to their words. He thought it was all in good fun and often laughed when he called others by those nicknames.
Gradually, no one wanted to hang out with Tim. During breaks, while other students were chatting and playing together in the classroom or on the playground, Tim always sat alone in his seat. Sometimes he tried to join a group of classmates, but they would simply drift away. Tim felt a bit lonely, but he still didn’t realize that his habit of giving bad nicknames was the reason.
One afternoon, Tim stayed in the classroom to finish his math homework. Sam, whom Tim regarded as his good friend, came in with two other boys. Tim didn’t make a sound, so they didn’t notice him. He heard Sam say, “Tim is so boring. He only knows how to give foolish nicknames to others. I call him ‘Nickname Freak’ behind his back.” The other boys laughed. Tim’s heart sank. He finally understood how hurtful those nicknames were and how impolite and disrespectful his behavior was.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150左右;

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
That night, Tim could barely sleep. He kept thinking about what Sam had said and the sad faces of his classmates when he had nicknamed them. Early the next morning, Tim made a decision: he would change. When he got to the classroom, Lisa was reading a book. Instead of saying “Big Glasses”, Tim said politely, “Hi, Lisa.” Lisa looked up, surprised. Then Mike came in, and Tim greeted him, “Morning, Mike.” Mike was also shocked. Tim took a deep breath before saying to both of them, “I’m sorry for giving you bad nicknames before. I won’t do that anymore.”
After Tim apologized, something nice happened. Lisa smiled and said, “It’s okay, Tim. We’re glad you realized that.” Mike nodded and added, “Yeah, let’s be friends again.” Soon, other classmates heard about Tim’s apology. During the break, some students came to talk to Tim. They chatted about homework and hobbies. Tim felt happy because he was no longer lonely. Day by day, Tim always called his classmates by their real names. He also learned to care about others’ feelings. In the end, Tim built a positive and respectful relationship with his classmates, and he truly understood the importance of mutual respect.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,主要讲述了Tim喜欢给同学起绰号,这些绰号大多是嘲笑同学的,同学们都不喜欢他的行为,逐渐疏远他,Tim虽感到孤独却未意识到原因。直到他听到好朋友Sam在背后叫他“绰号怪人”,才明白自己的行为有多伤人,决定做出改变的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“那天晚上,Tim几乎睡不着觉。”可知,第一段可描写Tim反思自己的行为,决定改变,第二天向Lisa和Mike礼貌问候并诚恳道歉的过程。
②由第二段首句内容“Tim道歉后,好事发生了。”可知,第二段可描写同学们原谅了Tim,Tim不再孤独,学会了尊重他人,与同学们建立了积极的关系。
2.续写线索:深夜反思醒悟——下定决心改变——主动礼貌问候——诚恳道歉认错——同学宽容接纳——融入集体收获友谊——领悟尊重真谛

Jane Goodall is a name deeply connected with wildlife protection. Her groundbreaking work, which began in 1960 in Tanzania’s Gombe Stream National Park, completely changed how scientists view animal intelligence and what makes humans unique. Without a college degree at first, Goodall used great patience and an open mind to study chimpanzees. She didn’t see them just as animals, but as individuals with their own personalities, feelings, and social lives.
A key moment came when a chimp she named David Greybeard allowed her to watch him closely. She saw him change a twig by removing its leaves and use it to “fish” for termites (白蚁). This was a major discovery because, at that time, scientists believed only humans could make and use tools. This finding challenged the idea that humans were completely different from other animals. As the well-known anthropologist (人类学家) Louis Leakey said, it forced science to rethink the definition of “human.”
Goodall’s long-term observations led to strong personal connections with the chimps especially a mother named Flo and her family. These relationships gave her deep insights into their family life and social behavior. Her unusual path — earning a PhD from Cambridge University without first getting a bachelor’s degree — showed her strong dedication. Knowing she needed to do more, she started the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) in 1977. This organization leads global protection efforts and runs youth programs like “Roots & Shoots,” while also supporting women in science.
Jane Goodall’s legacy (传承) goes far beyond her scientific discoveries. She showed the world that animals have complex emotions and intelligence, which helps people respect nature more. Even into her nineties, she continued to inspire millions to protect wildlife and their habitats. Through her life’s work, Goodall taught us that understanding and valuing other species is essential for the health of our planet and for our own humanity.
24. Why is Jane Goodall’s work called “groundbreaking”?
A. Changed views on animal intelligence. B. Proved all animals use tools.
C. Created new research methods. D. Showed women can be scientists.
25. How did Goodall discover chimpanzees using tools?
A. By reviewing existing theories. B. By conducting experiments.
C. By watching David Greybeard. D. By consulting local guides.
26. What does Goodall’s bond with Flo show?
A. Short-term studies are effective. B. Tool usage requires long observation.
C. Academic degrees ensure discovery. D. Emotional connection deepens research.
27. How does the text develop its main idea about Goodall?
A. By comparing different research methods. B. By moving from discovery to influence.
C. By listing life events in time order. D. By focusing on early African research.

Recently, videos of using AI to select watermelons go viral on social media, claiming the technology can pick sweet fruit. As watermelon season approaches, many people find buying a watermelon like opening a surprise box. Will it be a dud? To put AI to the test, a reporter from xxcb.cn visited a store in Changsha, Central China’s Hunan Province to conduct an experiment. The reporter took photos and numbered eight watermelons, which allowed for clear identification and comparison later, and then had AI select the sweetest one.
One AI software program admitted it couldn’t judge sweetness of the numbered watermelons. “Usually methods to determine the sweetness of a watermelon include observing the appearance, weight, and sound of the watermelon. Tapping (拍) the watermelon can also be used to determine its sweetness.” the AI software explained.
Another gave tips on what to look for in choosing a sweet watermelon. “Based on the shape of the watermelon, rounder watermelons usually indicate a more uniform internal structure, which may be a sign of higher sweetness. In the image, watermelons 1 and 8 look rounder and larger, indicating higher sweetness. However, the final sweetness needs to be confirmed by taste,” the AI software said. Following the AI’s recommendation, the reporter decided to put these two to the test. After cutting open watermelons 1 and 8, both were red and juicy, but watermelon 1 was slightly sweeter.
So, is using AI to pick fruit dependable? According to an AI expert, AI can provide helpful suggestions based on visual and base knowledge, but it’s not absolutely right. While AI can be a useful tool for those unsure how to choose a melon, experienced individuals may still rely on traditional methods like tapping and smelling. Eventually, the decision on which watermelon to choose may still come down to personal preference and practical experience.
28. What does the underlined word “dud” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Something small. B. Something pricey.
C. Something tasteless. D. Something seasonal.
29. Why did the first AI admit its inability?
A. It didn’t get clear melon photos. B. It tended to combine more data.
C. It hadn’t answered similar questions. D. It considered the shape unimportant.
30. How did the second AI differ from the first one?
A. It confirmed sweetness via sound. B. It showed three selection methods.
C. It offered weight-based tips. D. It linked sweetness to sizes.
31. What is the author’s attitude toward AI picking melons?
A. Objective. B. Negative.
C. Worried. D. Unclear.
D
Because coffee contains caffeine (咖啡因), people have long wondered whether drinking it might “jazz up” the heart, resulting in sensations such as a skipped, missed, rapid, strong, or irregular heartbeat.
However, people who drink moderate amounts of coffee — such as one to three cups per day — appear to have a lower risk of atrial fibrillation (心房颤动), according to a 2019 study co-authored by Dr. Gaziano. The study found that those who drank more or less coffee were neither more nor less likely to develop this condition. Like much of the dietary research, that study was observational: participants reported what they consumed, and researchers tracked their health over many years. However, the new study took a different approach, directly measuring the short-term effects of coffee consumption.
“This new study provides an important piece of the puzzle,” says Dr. Gaziano. One finding — that people took more steps on coffee-drinking days — supports other research showing that caffeine can slightly improve physical performance. On the other hand, caffeine’s negative effects on sleep are well known, and insufficient sleep is increasingly recognized as a risk to cardiovascular health. Over time, consistently poor sleep can lead to more serious health problems than just heart palpitations (悸动).
It is hard to know whether the extra exercise compensates for the reduced sleep that may result from drinking coffee. Most people understand how their bodies react to coffee and adjust their intake accordingly, notes Dr. Gaziano. Individual differences in caffeine metabolism also mean that the same amount of coffee can affect people very differently.
Like all studies, however, this one has limitations. For instance, it included only relatively young, healthy coffee drinkers. Therefore, the findings may not apply to older people, who are more likely to experience palpitations. In fact, those who avoid coffee — and thus were not included in the study — may do so precisely because they notice it causes palpitations.
32. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?
A. By picturing situations. B. By providing statistics.
C. By posing a problem. D. By quoting an expert.
33. What was special about the 2019 study?
A. It observed sleep patterns. B. It assessed immediate impact.
C. It surveyed non-coffee drinkers. D. It focused on long-term fitness.
34. Why does Dr. Gaziano mention sleep and exercise?
A. To show coffee’s mixed effects. B. To compare two research types.
C To suggest methods to stay healthy. D. To prove coffee energizes drinkers.
35. What limits the new study’s findings?
A. Improper data processing. B. Narrow participant range.
C. Small sample size. D. Short study period.

Do cats cry? Cats can and do have emotions. ___36___ If you’ve seen a cat with tears in their eyes at around the same time that they are upset or sad, it’s probably just a coincidence (巧合).
Cats can read human facial expressions, and they can experience a wide range of feelings about humans and other animals. ___37___ For example, cats that are anxious, angry, or upset may make sounds similar to a human whine (哀鸣). In this sense, the animal is “crying” vocally. However, human beings are the only animals that cry when experiencing strong emotions or pain.
If you see your cat tearing up, it’s important to know that they are not expressing a strong emotion. Occasional tearing may not matter, but should still be checked by a vet (兽医). In some cases, tearing can indicate a condition that may become serious without treatment.
___38___
While cats certainly do have emotions, such as sadness or depression, they will never cry to show those feelings. ___39___ If you are concerned about your pet’s emotions, look for other signs such as disinterest in food. These issues can also be a sign of pain or illness.
___40___ Cats tend to be happiest when they are involved in natural behaviors like climbing hunting, and running. Also, consider adding things like cat trees and toys to your home to keep your cat busy. If your cat still seems upset after these changes, turn to an animal behavior professional for further assistance.
A. Taking your cat out for a walk cheers them up.
B. When they experience these feelings, they act accordingly.
C. If your cat is healthy, try to enrich its environment.
D. Often, changes in a cat’s behavior can indicate medical issues.
E. Thus, you’d better have your cat carefully examined.
F. Cats’ eyes may water, but they don’t cry emotionally.
G. However, they do not know how to express emotions.

Sometimes he tried to join a group of classmates, but they would simply drift away. Tim felt a bit lonely, but he still didn’t realize that his habit of giving bad nicknames was the reason.
One afternoon, Tim stayed in the classroom to finish his math homework. Sam, whom Tim regarded as his good friend, came in with two other boys. Tim didn’t make a sound, so they didn’t notice him. He heard Sam say, “Tim is so boring. He only knows how to give foolish nicknames to others. I call him ‘Nickname Freak’ behind his back.” The other boys laughed. Tim’s heart sank. He finally understood how hurtful those nicknames were and how impolite and disrespectful his behavior was.
