This sanctuary,which typically cares for injured owls,received its first-ever overweight owl )A member of the public found the small,wet bird struggling in a bush and brought it in.A thorough check-up revealed no in juries;the owl couldn't fly simply because it was overweight-weighing 245 grams,33%above the normal upper limit for its size.The cause was natural:an unusually warm winter, combined with a sharp four-year population increase of mice,created an"all-you-can-eat buffet"that led the owl to overeat. The sanctuary put the owl on a diet and exercise routine,and it quickly lost weight and regained health.It was eventually released back into the wild,with a video of its smooth flight from a wooden box posted on the sanctuary's Facebook page. Whether this obesity()case is a strange effect of climate change or a coincidence of mouse population cycles and milder weather remains unclear.However,it emphasizes the importance of protecting wild animals.If you encounter a suffering wild animal,approach with caution-wear gloves and avoid risks,as they may be unused to humans,tending to attack,or carrying diseases. Wild animals struggle to adapt to modern cities,and animal sanctuaries serve as vital safe shelters. Staffed by professionals,these sanctuaries rescue not only injured or sick animals but also those in danger,especially critical in winter when food and shelter are lacking.While some focus on specific species like owls and others on certain regions,all share the same goal:to restore wild anmals to their natural state and return them to the wild 28.Why was the rescue of the owl by the Suffolk Owl Sanctuary considered unusual?

D Scientists have made a breakthrough in helping those suffering from visual disorders by placing tiny electronic chips into the back of their eyes.The chips are only 2mm wide,about as thick as a grain ofrice. A trial involved38 patients with age-related macular degeneration(AMD)(黄斑变性)，a condition mostly affecting the elderly and making central vision unclear.Around 600,000 people in the UK have AMD.The trial was conducted at 17 hospitals in five European countries,including the UK.The patients had"dry AMD",which damages light-detecting cells at the back of the eye.These cells transform light into electrical signals for the brain.When these cells are damaged or destroyed,they cause poor vision,and there is currently no cure for this condition. The tiny"bionic"chips can give people back some sight.Bionic means a man-made object that acts as a body part.The patients get a pair of glasses with a built-in video camera and a small pocket-sized black box that processes the data.When wearing the glasses,the patient looks at an object,for instance,a book The camera captures the image,sends data to the black box for clarification, 柳州市2026届高三第二次模拟考试·英语第7页（共12页） and the processed information is then delivered to the chip under the retina().The wireless chip sends signals(just like TV remotes do)to the optic nerve(视觉神经)，which communicates with the brain.However,patients need time to train their brains to interpret the images. Patients can only see in black and white,but it has significantly improved the lives of those who were treated.Seventy-year-old Sheil a Irvine was one of the patients who took part in the trial.She is registered as blind,but now is able to read books and do crosswords."It is amazing,"she told the BBC. I am one happy cookie now. Scientists are also excited."Blind patients are actually able to have meaningful central vision restoration,which has never been done before,"said Mahi Muqit,an associate professor at University College London 32.What can be inferred about the"breakthrough"mentioned in the first paragraph? A.It restores partial vision for a specific previously incurable condition. B.It marks the first successful medical application of bionic technology C.It provides a complete and permanent cure for patients with AMD. D.Its innovation lies in the extremely small size of the electronic chip. 33.What is the main problem caused by"dry AMD"? A.It prevents the eyes from producing tears. B.It makes the patient's glasses difficult to wear. C.It causes the optic nerve to stop working completely. D.It damages the light-sensitive cells at the back of the eye. 34.How does the bionic chip help patients regain sight? A.By delivering signals to the black box. B.By capturing clear images for the eyes. C.By changing light into electrical signals itself. D.By sending processed signals to the optic nerve 35.Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A.A New Cure Discovered for Dry AMD B.A Breakthrough treatment for the Blind C.A Bionic Chip for Partial Vision Restoration D.A Wireless Chip for Instant AMD Sight Recovery 柳州市2026届高三第二次模拟考试·英语第8页（共12页） 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 Handling Awkward School Moments We all encounter days when an ordinary school routine suddenly breaks down.Yet,must it spell disaster?Rather than panicking,pause and reflect-you have got through past challenges and will overcome this one as well.These small upsets are actually great opportunities to learn how to handle awkward school moments with calmness and confidence.Are you familiar with the following situations? ·36 If your meal partner can't eat with you for some reason,don't eat alone.View this as a potential opportunity for social expansion.If you observe someone seated alone and whom you wish to make friends with,approach them warmly,smile,and request to share the table.
