Tree Planting Week
Although the area had remained abandoned for many years,our school has decided
to green the space by launching a week-long initiative known as Tree Planting Week.
Scheduled for next week,the activity is organized by the Environmental Club with the
support of the school administration.By turning an empty space into a living one,the
school hopes the experience will leave a lasting impression and help raise students'
awareness of their responsibility toward the environment.
In order to ensure the smooth running of the project,we are looking for volunteers.
Working in small groups,volunteers will be involved in planting young trees,watering
them as needed,and maintaining the area so that it remains safe and orderly throughout
the week.They will also need to record daily progress,report any issues,including
damaged plants or safety concerns,and cooperate closely with team members to ensure
the project runs smoothly.
Requirements:
OPrepare raincoats and boots,as the work will proceed even in light rain.
OHave a cooperative attitude and a strong sense of responsibility.
O Be available each day from 4;30 p.m.to 6:30 p.m.throughout the week.
O Be willing to work outdoors and follow directions provided by teachers and group
leaders.
Basic tools,including shovels and gloves,will be provided by the school.Before

Emails arrived constantly,and meetings often lasted longer than planned,leaving
me exhausted by the end of each day.Back in my small apartment,I spent hours staring
at the ceiling or scrolling through my phone without noticing anything.Gradually,I
realized that my energy was disappearing and my mind felt trapped,which made me
worry I would suffer from depression.Hoping for a change,I decided to take two days
off.
That morning,my phone rang.It was a friend who worked at a nearby animal
shelter,sounding rushed as he asked if I could spare a few hours to help him.At first,
I hesitated,unwilling to leave the familiar comfort of my apartment,yet the thought of
spending time with animals finally convinced me to step outside.
That afternoon at the shelter,I encountered Max,a large brown dog that made
volunteers step back whenever he moved suddenly.His restless energy made everyone
careful around him,so I approached slowly,speaking softly.Initially,Max appeared
uneasy,avoiding eye contact and pulling the leash (whenever I moved too quickly.I
walked slowly,spoke in a calm tone,and let him decide our path.By the end of the
afternoon,he walked beside me without pulling and occasionally glanced back,as if
making sure I was still there.A silent connection seemed to form between us.
In the weeks that followed,I adopted Max.Every day,we explored the
neighborhood together,occasionally going into nearby parks and wooded areas.Max
gradually became calmer and more self-assured,while I started noticing small details
around me,greeting neighbors I had never spoken to and even beginning to look forward
to leaving the apartment.Because he trusted me,I found myself going out more often,
and my mood slowly lifted.
What began as a short favor on my first day of rest ended up changing both our
lives.Max became a true friend,and I discovered the connection with the world beyond
the walls of my apartment.
24.Why did the author take a two-day break?

Rising cases of chronic (stress could be down to a mismatch between
modern living and our own biology,according to a new study.Simply put,we're suited
to being in natural spaces,not built-up cities.That's the conclusion reached by two
evolutionary anthropologists(进化人类学家),Colin Shaw and Daniel Longman.
They pulled together a wealth of evidence that suggests our biological evolution is
being outpaced by rapid technological and environmental transformations.Daily lives
filled with triggers (that put us slightly on edge,from overflowing inboxes to
construction noise to work deadlines,are combining to put our bodies on alert around
the clock-something that hasn't been the case for much of human history.This is
causing widespread damage,the researchers argue:cognitive decline(认知下降),
autoimmune diseases,and psychological problems could all be connected to the stress of
modern life in busy,urban environments.
"Whether it's a difficult discussion with your partner or your boss,or traffic noise,
your stress response system is still pretty much the same as if you were facing lion after
lion,says Shaw.The review is a summary of everything researchers have discovered so
far about the potential downsides of our 21st-century lives and environments.We've
made many transformative advancements in healthcare,technology,and our
understanding of the world-but as a species,we're also more anxious and depressed
than our ancestors.
Multiple studies have shown that spending time in nature-or even just looking at
photos of nature-can improve physical and mental health.In evolutionary terms,being
outdoors in nature is still where human beings want to be.And that gives us some clues
as to what to do about dealing with the issues raised by this review.Shaw and Longman
want to see more done to preserve green areas in urban environments,to protect the
natural landscapes we have left,and to provide spaces where people can actually switch
off.
28.What does the underlined word "outpaced"in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Forced.B.Measured.
C.Depended on.D.Left behind.
29.What is a key characteristic of the stress triggers in modern life?
A.They happen rarely but intensely.B.They are constant and long-lasting.
C.They arise from limited technology.D.They involve direct physical dangers.
30.What can be inferred from Shaw's comparison in paragraph 3?
A.Ancient threats shaped early human behavior.
B.Modern stress mainly comes from physical effort.
C.Today's challenges require stronger bodies than before.
D.Human stress systems evolved for earlier environments.

31.What solution to modern stress does the last paragraph suggest?
A.Adjusting to urban life more efficiently.
B.Reducing pressure through medical support.
C.Rebalancing humans and their surroundings.
D.Using technology to create natural experiences.
D
A recent global study examined how changes in climate and land use are affecting
insects that pollinate (crops.After analyzing thousands of species across different
regions,researchers observed a sharp drop in pollinating insects during periods of
abnormally high temperatures and when fewer flowering plants were available.
Compared with insects as a whole,groups such as bees,flies,and moths appeared to
experience greater losses.
According to estimates,about 35 percent of the world's food crops and 75 percent
of flowering plants require animal pollinators for successful reproduction.As their
numbers fall,both crop yields and plant diversity may be affected in ways that are not
immediately visible.Researchers say climate change is already having a clear and
powerful impact on these species.
The'decline has not been evenly spread across the globe.Losses seem to be most
serious in tropical(热带的)regions close to the equator(赤道).In countries including
China,India,Indonesia,and Brazil;reduced pollination could place pressure on crop
production.Parts of sub-Saharan Africa may also face difficulties,particularly with
crops such.as cocoa and mango that depend heavily on insects.Many species in these
regions already live in warm conditions,leaving little room to adjust to further
temperature increases.
Changes in the natural environment have made survival more difficult for pollinators.
When habitats are damaged or lost,flowering plants become less common,reducing
available food,Rising temperatures add to this challenge,while parasites(寄生虫),
disease,and chemicals in the environment increase the stress.Researchers are still
exploring why pollinators appear to react more strongly to heat than some other insects.
While these trends raise concerns,pollinated crops are not expected to disappear
entirely.Instead,lower levels of.pollination may reduce production and increase the cost
of certain foods,including coffee and chocolate.The findings draw attention to the
importance of protecting natural habitats,especially in tropical areas that play a key role
in global food supply.
32.What do the figures in paragraph 2 show?
A.The necessity of feeding pollinators.B.The importance of protecting crops.
C.The effect of climate on pollinators.D.The dependence of plants on pollinators.
33.What can be inferred about pollinators in tropical regions?
A.They are highly tolerant of extreme heat.
B.They face more threats with fewer resources.
C.They are less able to deal with further warming.
D.They are at risk of long-term population failure.
34.What does the author imply about the decline of pollinators?
A.It is a temporary problem.
B.It results from multiple factors.
C.It barely affects food production.
D.It is mainly caused by habitat loss.
35.What does the author think of the impact of pollinator loss?
A.It is severe but manageable.
B.It will soon become disastrous.
C.It is overstated but still matters.
D.It remains unclear due to lack of data.

Audiobooks have become extremely popular in recent years,yet their history goes
back almost a century.Read on to explore how talking books began and how they are
produced today.
When were audiobooks invented?
Audiobooks first emerged in the 1930s and were originally designed for blind
people.During the First World War,thousands of soldiers lost their sight.After
returning home,many learned to read by touch rather than by sight.36.One
soldier,Captain Ian Fraser,became increasingly frustrated with the slow speed of
reading in this way and once cried out,"If books could only talk!"
In 1934,the Royal National Institute of Blind People established a recording
studio,where Fraser worked with others to record his talking books on thin discs called
records.37.Since then,audiobooks have become as popular as physical books.
How are they made?
38.Audiobooks are recorded in studios,but they are not always read by the
author.In some cases,a single actor or well-known person reads the entire book,using
different voices for different characters.In other cases,a cast of actors is involved.For
example,the first Harry Potter audiobooks were recorded by the actor and author
Stephen Fry.More recently,a new series has been released.39,sometimes
together with sound effects and music.
How can they help?
Audiobooks can offer young people an easier way into books if they struggle with
reading.They can encourage interest in stories while also supporting reading skills and
creativity.Children may listen to books that are more challenging than those they can
read on their own.40.In a survey last year,52%of children and young people said
that listening to audiobooks helped them relax when they felt stressed or anxious.
A.A typical book took up 10 of them
B.Producing an audiobook is a careful process
C.Additionally,it boosts emotional well-being
D.But a few soldiers opposed the talking books
E.This also lowers their mental effort of reading
F.Different roles are recorded by different actors
G.However,some struggled with reading in this way

Liu Mengmei,the male lead,an English-language version of the Kunqu Opera masterpiece
The Peony Pavilion 56 (come)to life at the Seventh Tang Xianzu International Theatre

The theater festival,which opened in late October and concluded on Dec 7,focused
on 58 integration of Eastern and Western theater traditions.Michael Dobson,director of
the Shakespeare Institute at the University of Birmingham,59 brought the English
version of The Peony Pavilion to Tang Xianzu's hometown of Fuzhou,says he tried to go
beyond the original audience 60 (reach)a broader world and gain due influence.
Bridging the cultural divide is never easy,yet each performance found its own path
to interpret the masterpiece and unite different cultures.For Chinese performer Zhou
Jingxuan,performing 61 English offered a new experience,as the rhythm and sound of
the language created a different kind of 62 (drama)power from Chinese theater.
In Dobson's eyes,Shakespeare described the complexity of human nature,while
Tang Xianzu wrote about the 63 (pursue)of the soul."Both were asking 'what is

Western dramas,"he says.

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。
On Monday morning,the city was wrapped in thick fog,and the school bus arrived
later than usual.Students climbed on impatiently,filling every seat with heavy
backpacks and sleepy faces.By the time Olivia reached the door,only one seat
remained-next to Ethan,the quiet boy who always sat alone.
Olivia hesitated.She knew Ethan's name,but they had never spoken.S
Some
students whispered that he was strange,while others said he simply didn't like people.
Either way,the empty seat beside him felt uninviting.Still,there was nowhere else to
sit.Taking a deep breath,she slid into the seat.
The bus pulled away slowly.Olivia stared out of the window,pretending to be lost
in the fog outside,hoping the silence would pass unnoticed.Suddenly,the bus shook
and came to a sudden stop.A sharp noise followed,and nervous cries filled the air.The
driver stood up and announced that the bus had broken down and that help was on the
way.
Minutes passed.The fog pressed against the windows,and the cold gradually filled
the bus.Some students complained,while others checked their phones repeatedly.
Olivia then noticed Ethan quietly taking off his jacket.Without a word,he leaned
forward and placed it over the shoulders of a younger student who was shaking.Olivia
was taken by surprise.This silent act was nothing like the image she had formed of
him.
As the wait continued,the driver's voice grew tense.The battery was failing,and
the heater had stopped working.If help didn't arrive soon,things could get worse.
Olivia felt uneasy.She reached into her bag and touched her scarf.After a brief inner
struggle,she handed it to Ethan and whispered,"Maybe someone else needs it more."
Ethan looked at her,clearly surprised,then nodded.Together,they passed the
scarf forward.Gradually,others followed.Someone offered gloves.Another shared
snacks.The bus,once filled with complaints and impatience,grew strangely quiet.
The fog remained thick outside,and no help had arrived yet.
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。
Just as anziety was spreading among the students,something unexpected
appeared through the fog.
Later that day,Olivia discovered a small note waiting for her on her desk.
