M: It’s an eagle, and it’s not common along our hiking route. Most tourists only get to learn about it during lectures by professors.
W: It’s definitely an impressive scene!
M: Normally, you’d see one sitting in the trees. They’re usually so high up that bird-watchers can barely make them out. But this one... you can get a really close look!
W: I didn’t expect this before taking part in your tour.
M: Look! It keeps scanning the area for food. Eagles can leave their nests and catch their food within seconds. They live on small birds, mostly, and sometimes small animals like mice. They’re skilled hunters.
W: Got it! Your explanation is clearer than my teacher’s Can you help me take a photo with it?
M: Of course! Check this out. It looks so amazing just standing there. It’s like it’s defending its kingdom.

M: I’ve always been into photography and wanted a job offer in the industry after graduation. But what pulled me in was the prize money they offered. It could fund my next project.
W: That’s awesome!
M: Besides, the prize includes a self-guided trip for four weeks. And its destination could be anywhere of my choice. All the costs will be covered, including the flights.
W: Do you have any plans for it?
M: I’m planning to film a documentary during the trip, but I still need some professional guidance.
W: That does sound like a lot to handle. Then where are you heading?
M: The Arctic Circle. Instead of filming the natural scenery and the efforts made to protect the environment, I would turn my camera toward what really happens to the locals in their everyday life.
W: Great! Good luck with your trip and filming.

Kristina Smithe was running the California International Marathon in 2019, grabbing cups of water to stay hydrated (补充水分), when she started to think about how much waste such events would produce. On the flight home, she did the math: 9,000 runners, 17 aid stations and something like 150, 000 cups used once and thrown away.
“I was just shocked that, even in California, it isn’t sustainable,” Smithe said. That started her idea for something more lasting — a lightweight, flexible silicone (硅胶) cup that could be used again and again. After working out a design, Smithe ordered her first samples and tested them at a race in 2021.
Now her business, Hiccup Earth, has 70, 000 cups that Smithe rents out to interested races to replace the typical white paper cups that can build up at busy water stops. She rents out the cups by the thousand, driving them to events in massive bags and leaving bins with the company logo for collection after use. Then the used cups are picked up and washed in a special dishwasher.
At the PNC Women Run the Cities race in Minneapolis and Minnesota, in early May, Smithe helped satisfy the thirst of thousands of runners, dropping off 17-gallon bags full of her flexible blue cups.
After that race, Smithe, 35, estimated she’s taken her cups to 137 races and spared 902,000 disposable (一次性的) cups from the landfill. One trade-off is that renting her cups costs race directors more than other options. Disposable cups might run just a few cents each, while 10,000 Hiccup cups would rent for about 15 cents each. That price drops if more cups are needed.
Gleeson, of Project Drawdown, sees the reusable cups as just one of many ways that innovators are looking to cut down on waste. “While no one solution can fully tackle the problem,” Gleeson said, “I think in general, high adoption of these kinds of solutions might bring costs down and maximize environmental benefits that we expect to get.”
24. What inspired Smithe to start her business?
A. The high cost of disposable cups. B. Environmental impact of waste.
C. A suggestion from race organizers. D. Her volunteering at an aid station.
25. What do we know about Hiccup cups?
A. They are cleaned in common dishwashers. B. They are made of recycled flexible plastic.
C. They are costlier to rent than other cups. D. They are difficult for organizers to recycle.
26. What is Gleeson’s attitude towards reusable cups?
A. Positive. B. Critical. C. Negative. D. Subjective.
27. What does the author mainly convey in the text?
A. Actions speak louder than words. B. It’s the first step that is troublesome.
C. Drops of water wear away a stone. D. Necessity is the mother of invention.
【答案】24. B 25. C 26. A 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了Kristina Smithe受马拉松赛事中一次性水杯浪费问题的启发,研发可重复使用的硅胶水杯,并创立 Hiccup Earth公司推广该产品的故事,同时探讨了可重复使用水杯在成本、环保效益等方面的情况。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Kristina Smithe was running the California International Marathon in 2019, grabbing cups of water to stay hydrated (补充水分), when she started to think about how much waste such events would produce. On the flight home, she did the math: 9,000 runners, 17 aid stations and something like 150, 000 cups used once and thrown away. ( 2019年,克里斯蒂娜·史密斯正在参加加利福尼亚国际马拉松比赛,她一边跑一边喝着水以保持水分补充。这时她开始思考这类赛事会产生多少废弃物。在回家的航班上,她进行了计算:9000名参赛者、17个补给站以及大约15万个仅使用一次就被丢弃的杯子。)”以及第二段“I was just shocked that, even in California, it isn’t sustainable (我只是感到震惊的是,即便是在加利福尼亚州,这种情况也是不可持续的)”可知,是马拉松垃圾对环境的影响启发了她。故选B。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“One trade-off is that renting her cups costs race directors more than other options. Disposable cups might run just a few cents each, while 10,000 Hiccup cups would rent for about 15 cents each. That price drops if more cups are needed. (其中的一个折衷之处在于,租用她的杯子比其他选择要花费赛事组织者更多的费用。一次性杯子每只只需几美分,而10000个Hiccup杯的租赁费用则约为每只15美分。如果需要更多的杯子,价格还会降低。)”可知,与一次性水杯相比,租赁Hiccup的水杯成本更高,这是其缺点。故选C。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Gleeson, of Project Drawdown, sees the reusable cups as just one of many ways that innovators are looking to cut down on waste. “While no one solution can fully tackle the problem,” Gleeson said, “I think in general, high adoption of these kinds of solutions might bring costs down and maximize environmental benefits that we expect to get.” (“项目减排”组织的格利森认为,这种可重复使用的杯子只是创新者们寻求减少废弃物问题的众多方法之一。“虽然没有一种解决方案能够完全解决这个问题,”格利森说,“但我认为,总体而言,这些类型的解决方案得到广泛应用可能会降低成本,并最大限度地实现我们预期的环境效益。”)”可知,他认为可重复使用水杯是更广泛的减少浪费解决方案中的一部分,因此对这种可重复使用的水杯持支持的态度。故选A。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“Now her business, Hiccup Earth, has 70,000 cups that Smithe rents out to interested races to replace the typical white paper cups that can build up at busy water stops. (如今,她的公司“希库普地球”已拥有7万个杯子,史密斯会将这些杯子出租给相关赛事,以替代那些在繁忙的补给站容易堆积的普通白色纸杯。)”以及文章主要讲述了Kristina Smithe在参加马拉松时,注意到赛事中一次性水杯造成的大量浪费,由此萌生了设计可重复使用硅胶杯的想法,并最终创立公司推广这一产品。这一过程体现了“需求是发明之母”,即实际存在的问题(减少浪费的需求),推动了新发明的产生。故选D。
C
A huge fish in the Mekong River thought to be extinct has been spotted three times in recent years. “The giant salmon carp (大马哈鱼) is like a symbol of the Mekong region,” said Chheana Chhut, a researcher at the Inland Fisheries Research and Development Institute in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
With the last confirmed sighting in 2005, “this species of fish seems to have disappeared from the Mekong region for decades,” said Chheana, a co-author of a study published online Monday in the journal Biological Conservation that documents the recent sightings.
Since 2017, biologists tracking migratory (迁徙的) fish species in Cambodia have developed close relationships with local fishing communities, asking them to report any unusual sightings. That’s how the three giant salmon carp found in the Mekong River and a branch in Cambodia between 2020 and 2023 came to the attention of researchers.
“I was really surprised and excited to see the real fish for the first time,” said Bunyeth Chan, a study co-author and researcher at Svay Rieng University in Cambodia.
Researchers say the sightings give them new hope for the species. “This rediscovery is very exciting, positive news,” said Zeb Hogan, a fish biologist at the University of Nevada, Reno, who was part of the team.
But the situation of the fish also spotlights the perils facing all migratory species in the Mekong, including industrial pollution and overfishing. More than 700 dams have been built along the river and its branches and there are very few functional “fish passages” to help species pass barriers, said Brian Eyler, director of the Southeast Asia Program at the Stimson Center in Washington, who wasn’t involved in the research.
The biologists said they hope that working with local communities in Thailand and Laos will enable them to confirm if the fish still swims in other stretches of the Mekong River.
28. What happened in 2017?
A. The biologists connected with local fishermen. B. The giant carp began to migrate to Cambodia.
C. Bunyeth found the last giant carp in person. D. Researchers began to track migratory fish.
29. What can we infer about local fishing communities?
A. They have spotted the fish three times. B. They have studied the fish for decades.
C. They make profits from the cooperation. D. They contribute to the finding of the fish.
30. What does the underlined word “perils” in paragraph 6 probably mean?
A. Opportunities. B. Advantages. C. Dangers. D. Uncertainties.
31. What is the main idea of the text?
A. A new species found along the Mekong. B. The rediscovery of the giant salmon carp.
C. Efforts of researchers to protect wildlife. D. Effects of human activities on ecosystem.
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. C 31. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。本文报道了曾被认为在湄公河流域消失数十年的大马哈鱼,于2020至2023年间在柬埔寨境内的湄公河及其支流被重新发现三次的事件。文章介绍了发现过程,提及该发现给物种生存带来新希望,同时也指出湄公河流域的迁徙物种面临污染、过度捕捞和大坝阻碍等威胁。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Since 2017, biologists tracking migratory (迁徙的) fish species in Cambodia have developed close relationships with local fishing communities, asking them to report any unusual sightings. (自 2017 年以来,追踪柬埔寨洄游鱼类物种的生物学家与当地渔民群体建立了密切联系,要求他们报告任何不寻常的发现情况。)”可知,生物学家与当地捕鱼社区建立了联系,让他们报告异常发现。故选A。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Since 2017, biologists tracking migratory (迁徙的) fish species in Cambodia have developed close relationships with local fishing communities, asking them to report any unusual sightings. That’s how the three giant salmon carp found in the Mekong River and a branch in Cambodia between 2020 and 2023 came to the attention of researchers.

【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“including industrial pollution and overfishing (包括工业污染和过度捕捞)”可知,工业污染和过度捕捞是洄游物种所面临的威胁。故划线词意思是“危险”。故选C。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“A huge fish in the Mekong River thought to be extinct has been spotted three times in recent years. (在湄公河中,有一种被认为已经灭绝的大型鱼类,近年来却有三次被发现踪迹。)”以及文章围绕曾被认为灭绝的大马哈鱼在近年来被重新发现展开,介绍了发现过程、意义及面临的威胁等,核心是这种鱼的重新发现。B选项“巨型鲑鱼的重新发现”符合主旨。故选B。
D
Over half of Britain’s workforce are skipping their lunch breaks due to heavy workloads or feeling too guilty to take a pause. A survey of 2,000 full-time workers revealed that a mere 38% manage to take their lunch break daily, and 13% admit to doing so only about once a week.
Nearly half of those who quit a proper break end up eating at their desks, and an incredible 59% claim they’re simply too occupied with work to take time out. Additionally, 12% feel guilty about resting, and 24% point the finger at chatty coworkers as the reason for missing their midday break. Consequently, 59% find themselves battling the terrible afternoon slump (困倦) , which tends to hit hardest around 3 pm.
Caroline Hughes, marketing director at plant-based food company Gosh!, which sponsored the study, emphasized, “Lunch is a crucial opportunity to sustain your body and set you up for the afternoon.”
A recent study about the lunchtime habits of Brits has revealed that taste and convenience are the main drivers behind their midday meal choices, with 59% favoring flavor and 50% opting for ease. The research also highlighted a worrying gap between what we know is good for us and what we actually do — although 80% understand the benefits of fibre, a mere 23% manage to eat their recommended five portions (份) of fruit and vegetables a day.
An impressive 67% of those surveyed acknowledged the impact of their lunch choices on their productivity levels in the afternoon. Moreover, 42% identified a lack of concentration as a major sign of the terrible afternoon slump.
Nutritionist Laura Tilt, cooperating with Gosh!, emphasizes the need for a proper lunch break, suggesting it takes 37 minutes to enjoy a well-rounded one. She stated, “Brits are not great at taking lunch breaks, but a proper pause in the day can help restore energy, improve focus and reduce stress.”
32. Why do 24% of the workforce miss their lunch breaks?
A. They think it a shame to have lunch breaks. B. They are affected by the talkative colleagues.
C. They are too occupied with work to dine out. D. They have to make up for their low efficiency.
33. How does the author demonstrate the finding of the survey?
A. By performing some field research. B. By analyzing the causes and effects.
C. By providing some typical examples. D. By quoting the opinions from experts.
34. What might Laura Tilt agree with?
A. Brits are expert in managing their lunch breaks.
B. Plant-based foods should be considered by Brits.
C. Taste and convenience decide Brits’ meal options.
D. A proper lunch break is needed in Brits’ daily life.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. Heavy Workloads Bring Pressure to British Staff
B. Brits’ Productivity Declines due to Insufficient Rest
C. Over Half of British Employees Quit Lunch Breaks
D. Eating Habits of Brits Have Changed in Recent Years
【答案】32. B 33. B 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了一项针对2000名全职员工的调查显示,超半数英国员工因工作繁重或感到内疚而放弃午休,这影响了他们的下午工作效率和健康。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Additionally, 12% feel guilty about resting, and 24% point the finger at chatty coworkers as the reason for missing their midday break.(此外,12%的人会因休息而心生愧疚,24%的人则将错过午休归咎于爱闲聊的同事。)”可知,24%的员工因为健谈的同事而错过午休。故选B。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。文章第一段中“A survey of 2,000 full-time workers revealed that a mere 38% manage to take their lunch break daily, and 13% admit to doing so only about once a week.(一项针对2000名全职员工的调查显示,只有38%的人能够每天午休,13%的人承认每周只午休一次。)”给出了调查结果,接着第二段“Nearly half of those who quit a proper break end up eating at their desks, and an incredible 59% claim they’re simply too occupied with work to take time out. Additionally, 12% feel guilty about resting, and 24% point the finger at chatty coworkers as the reason for missing their midday break. Consequently, 59% find themselves battling the terrible afternoon slump, which tends to hit hardest around 3 pm.(近一半放弃适当休息的人最终会在办公桌前吃饭,令人难以置信的是,59%的人声称他们只是工作太忙而没时间休息。此外,12%的人对休息感到内疚,24%的人将错过午休的原因归咎于健谈的同事。因此,59%的人发现自己正在与可怕的下午困倦作斗争,这种困倦往往在下午3点左右最为严重。)”分析了原因和影响,所以作者是通过分析原因和影响来展示调查结果的。故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Nutritionist Laura Tilt, cooperating with Gosh!, emphasizes the need for a proper lunch break, suggesting it takes 37 minutes to enjoy a well-rounded one.(营养学家Laura Tilt与Gosh!合作,强调了适当午休的必要性,她建议享受一次充分的午休需要37分钟。)”可知,Laura Tilt认为英国人日常生活中需要适当的午休。故选D。
【35题详解】

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了中国艺术家阿杜通过精细的微型艺术复刻珍贵建筑和童年场景,既保存记忆,也帮助他人以实体形式留存情感寄托。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:中国艺术家阿杜是将住宅和建筑变成充满微小人物和精致细节的微型艺术品的大师。空处作介词at的宾语,应用turn“使变成”的动名词形式。故填turning。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他惊人的作品提供了一种独特的方式,以惊人的细节保存珍贵的场所。名词way后常跟动词不定式作后置定语,表示“……的方式”,因此空处用preserve“保存”的不定式形式。故填to preserve。
【58题详解】
考查介词。句意:他从童年和周围环境中汲取灵感,将街坊住宅和政府建筑重现为细节惊人的微型模型。结合空后的“his childhood and his own surroundings”可知,此处用固定搭配draw inspiration from表示“从……中汲取灵感”。故填from。
【59题详解】
考查副词。句意:他从童年和周围环境中汲取灵感,将街坊住宅和政府建筑重现为细节惊人的微型模型。空处修饰形容词detailed,副词incredibly符合题意,意为“难以置信地”。故填incredibly。
【60题详解】
考查名词。句意:尽管阿杜常以照片作为微型复刻的参考,但他的许多模型完全依靠记忆完成。空处作as的宾语,空后有名词短语for his miniature recreations,应用名词reference,意为“参考”,是不可数名词。故填reference。
【61题详解】
考查动词语态和主谓一致。句意:尽管这个老院子近20年前就被拆除了,但我的记忆依然鲜活。空处作句子的谓语,结合“nearly 20 years ago”可知,此处在叙述过去发生的事情,时态应用一般过去时,tear down“拆除”和主语the old courtyard之间是被动关系,应用被动语态,且主语是单数,be动词应用was。故填was torn。
【62题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:庭院里有一张木桌,承载着我所有的童年记忆。空处作holds的宾语,all后可数名词memory“记忆”,应用复数形式。故填memories。
【63题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:在最近的一个项目中,他复刻了一位朋友祖父母的童年故居,那是他朋友长大的地方。空处引导非限制性定语从句,对先行词home作补充说明,先行词在从句中表示行为发生的地点,作地点状语,应用关系副词where引导。故填where。
【64题详解】
考查冠词。句意:模型包含一个内院、一群小鸡和更多建筑细节。空处表示泛指,意为“一个内院”,应用不定冠词,且inner的发音以元音音素开头,应用an。故填an。
【65题详解】
考查代词。句意:他的祖父母都已去世,他非常想念他们。空处作misses的宾语,指代前面提到的Both his grandparents,应用宾格代词them。故填them。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Ms. Thompson made an announcement, “Class, we’re going on a school trip to Lisbon, Portugal next week!” The room erupted into cheers.
Emily could hardly contain herself and turned to her friend Mia, “Can you believe it? We will explore a new city!” Mia, with her glasses slipping down her nose, said, “I’ve read so much about its colorful streets!” Sitting at the back was Sophie, who, despite her wheelchair, showed enormous enthusiasm. “I’m ready for this adventure!”
The days leading up to the trip were filled with preparation. They spent hours packing their bags. Emily made a checklist, marking off items as she went. “Passport? Check! Journal? Check! Camera? Check!”
On the day of the trip, the girls boarded the flight in high spirits. This was going to be an adventure of a lifetime!
After they landed, the city’s beauty unfolded before their eyes and the girls wasted no time in exploring. Sophie rolled her wheelchair alongside Emily and Mia when they wandered through the streets, where artists filled them with music and locals wore warm smiles. As the sun began to set, the girls found the sky turned shades of orange. Emily took dozens of photos, wanting to record every moment.
The next day was filled with adventure. They visited the Jerónimos Monastery and were amazed at its architecture, and then went to a café to refresh themselves.
After they left the café for several minutes, Emily realized something alarming. “Oh no! My camera! I thought I had it when we left the Monastery!” Emily cried, her heart racing. “I must find it! I can’t lose those precious pictures with you!”
With a sense of urgency, the girls raced back. They stopped at the Monastery, but the camera seemed nowhere to be found. The time was ticking swiftly and they left the Monastery to search other places they had been.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

“What if I never find it?” Emily thought, biting her lip.

They approached the Monastery once again.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
“What if I never find it?” Emily thought, biting her lip. Her heart pounded in her chest as she desperately tried to recall details of their journey. Emily knew the camera held not just photos, but memories of their incredible adventure together. She glanced at Mia and Sophie, who were also visibly worried. Mia gently placed a hand on Emily’s shoulder, saying, “Maybe we left it somewhere in the Monastery that we forgot to check.” Sophie nodded in agreement, her eyes filled with determination, “We’ll find it. Let’s go back and look carefully,” her voice steady despite the situation.
They approached the Monastery once again. Emily’s mind raced as she retraced their steps. As they entered the grand hall, Emily scanned the surroundings. She remembered how she had taken countless photos of the stunning architecture. Unexpectedly, Sophie laid her eyes on a bench, where Emily had last taken a photo — the camera! Relief and gratitude washed over Emily as she picked it up, with Mia and Sophie smiling, their faces reflecting their shared joy. At that moment, they realized that their bond was unbreakable, and that together, they could make the seemingly impossible possible.

Kristina Smithe was running the California International Marathon in 2019, grabbing cups of water to stay hydrated (补充水分), when she started to think about how much waste such events would produce. On the flight home, she did the math: 9,000 runners, 17 aid stations and something like 150, 000 cups used once and thrown away.
“I was just shocked that, even in California, it isn’t sustainable,” Smithe said. That started her idea for something more lasting — a lightweight, flexible silicone (硅胶) cup that could be used again and again. After working out a design, Smithe ordered her first samples and tested them at a race in 2021.
Now her business, Hiccup Earth, has 70, 000 cups that Smithe rents out to interested races to replace the typical white paper cups that can build up at busy water stops. She rents out the cups by the thousand, driving them to events in massive bags and leaving bins with the company logo for collection after use. Then the used cups are picked up and washed in a special dishwasher.
At the PNC Women Run the Cities race in Minneapolis and Minnesota, in early May, Smithe helped satisfy the thirst of thousands of runners, dropping off 17-gallon bags full of her flexible blue cups.
After that race, Smithe, 35, estimated she’s taken her cups to 137 races and spared 902,000 disposable (一次性的) cups from the landfill. One trade-off is that renting her cups costs race directors more than other options. Disposable cups might run just a few cents each, while 10,000 Hiccup cups would rent for about 15 cents each. That price drops if more cups are needed.
Gleeson, of Project Drawdown, sees the reusable cups as just one of many ways that innovators are looking to cut down on waste. “While no one solution can fully tackle the problem,” Gleeson said, “I think in general, high adoption of these kinds of solutions might bring costs down and maximize environmental benefits that we expect to get.”
24. What inspired Smithe to start her business?
A. The high cost of disposable cups. B. Environmental impact of waste.
C. A suggestion from race organizers. D. Her volunteering at an aid station.
25. What do we know about Hiccup cups?
A. They are cleaned in common dishwashers. B. They are made of recycled flexible plastic.
C. They are costlier to rent than other cups. D. They are difficult for organizers to recycle.
26. What is Gleeson’s attitude towards reusable cups?
A. Positive. B. Critical. C. Negative. D. Subjective.
27. What does the author mainly convey in the text?
A. Actions speak louder than words. B. It’s the first step that is troublesome.
C. Drops of water wear away a stone. D. Necessity is the mother of invention.
C
A huge fish in the Mekong River thought to be extinct has been spotted three times in recent years. “The giant salmon carp (大马哈鱼) is like a symbol of the Mekong region,” said Chheana Chhut, a researcher at the Inland Fisheries Research and Development Institute in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
With the last confirmed sighting in 2005, “this species of fish seems to have disappeared from the Mekong region for decades,” said Chheana, a co-author of a study published online Monday in the journal Biological Conservation that documents the recent sightings.
Since 2017, biologists tracking migratory (迁徙的) fish species in Cambodia have developed close relationships with local fishing communities, asking them to report any unusual sightings. That’s how the three giant salmon carp found in the Mekong River and a branch in Cambodia between 2020 and 2023 came to the attention of researchers.
“I was really surprised and excited to see the real fish for the first time” said Bunyeth Chan, a study co-author and researcher at Svay Rieng University in Cambodia.
Researchers say the sightings give them new hope for the species. “This rediscovery is very exciting, positive news,” said Zeb Hogan, a fish biologist at the University of Nevada, Reno, who was part of the team.
But the situation of the fish also spotlights the perils facing all migratory species in the Mekong, including industrial pollution and overfishing. More than 700 dams have been built along the river and its branches and there are very few functional “fish passages” to help species pass barriers, said Brian Eyler, director of the Southeast Asia Program at the Stimson Center in Washington, who wasn’t involved in the research.
The biologists said they hope that working with local communities in Thailand and Laos will enable them to confirm if the fish still swims in other stretches of the Mekong River.
28. What happened in 2017?
A. The biologists connected with local fishermen. B. The giant carp began to migrate to Cambodia.
C. Bunyeth found the last giant carp in person. D. Researchers began to track migratory fish.
29 What can we infer about local fishing communities?
A. They have spotted the fish three times. B. They have studied the fish for decades.
C. They make profits from the cooperation. D. They contribute to the finding of the fish.
30. What does the underlined word “perils” in paragraph 6 probably mean?
A. Opportunities. B. Advantages. C. Dangers. D. Uncertainties.
31. What is the main idea of the text?
A. A new species found along the Mekong. B. The rediscovery of the giant salmon carp.
C. Efforts of researchers to protect wildlife. D. Effects of human activities on ecosystem.
D
Over half of Britain’s workforce are skipping their lunch breaks due to heavy workloads or feeling too guilty to take a pause. A survey of 2,000 full-time workers revealed that a mere 38% manage to take their lunch break daily, and 13% admit to doing so only about once a week.
Nearly half of those who quit a proper break end up eating at their desks, and an incredible 59% claim they’re simply too occupied with work to take time out. Additionally, 12% feel guilty about resting, and 24% point the finger at chatty coworkers as the reason for missing their midday break. Consequently, 59% find themselves battling the terrible afternoon slump (困倦) , which tends to hit hardest around 3 pm.
Caroline Hughes, marketing director at plant-based food company Gosh!, which sponsored the study, emphasized, “Lunch is a crucial opportunity to sustain your body and set you up for the afternoon.”
A recent study about the lunchtime habits of Brits has revealed that taste and convenience are the main drivers behind their midday meal choices, with 59% favoring flavor and 50% opting for ease. The research also highlighted a worrying gap between what we know is good for us and what we actually do — although 80% understand the benefits of fibre, a mere 23% manage to eat their recommended five portions (份) of fruit and vegetables a day.
An impressive 67% of those surveyed acknowledged the impact of their lunch choices on their productivity levels in the afternoon. Moreover, 42% identified a lack of concentration as a major sign of the terrible afternoon slump.
Nutritionist Laura Tilt, cooperating with Gosh!, emphasizes the need for a proper lunch break, suggesting it takes 37 minutes to enjoy a well-rounded one. She stated, “Brits are not great at taking lunch breaks, but a proper pause in the day can help restore energy, improve focus and reduce stress.”
32. Why do 24% of the workforce miss their lunch breaks?
A. They think it a shame to have lunch breaks. B. They are affected by the talkative colleagues.
C. They are too occupied with work to dine out. D. They have to make up for their low efficiency.
33. How does the author demonstrate the finding of the survey?
A. By performing some field research. B. By analyzing the causes and effects.
C. By providing some typical examples. D. By quoting the opinions from experts.
34. What might Laura Tilt agree with?
A. Brits are expert in managing their lunch breaks.
B. Plant-based foods should be considered by Brits.
C. Taste and convenience decide Brits’ meal options.
D. A proper lunch break is needed in Brits’ daily life.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. Heavy Workloads Bring Pressure to British Staff
B Brits’ Productivity Declines due to Insufficient Rest
C. Over Half of British Employees Quit Lunch Breaks
D. Eating Habits of Brits Have Changed in Recent Years

The days leading up to the trip were filled with preparation. They spent hours packing their bags. Emily made a checklist, marking off items as she went. “Passport? Check! Journal? Check! Camera? Check!”
On the day of the trip, the girls boarded the flight in high spirits. This was going to be an adventure of a lifetime!
After they landed, the city’s beauty unfolded before their eyes and the girls wasted no time in exploring. Sophie rolled her wheelchair alongside Emily and Mia when they wandered through the streets, where artists filled them with music and locals wore warm smiles. As the sun began to set, the girls found the sky turned shades of orange. Emily took dozens of photos, wanting to record every moment.
The next day was filled with adventure. They visited the Jerónimos Monastery and were amazed at its architecture, and then went to a café to refresh themselves.
After they left the café for several minutes, Emily realized something alarming. “Oh no! My camera! I thought I had it when we left the Monastery!” Emily cried, her heart racing. “I must find it! I can’t lose those precious pictures with you!”
With a sense of urgency, the girls raced back. They stopped at the Monastery, but the camera seemed nowhere to be found. The time was ticking swiftly and they left the Monastery to search other places they had been.
