18. What is the main purpose of the speaker’s talk?

B. To encourage responsible spending.
C. To compare different budgeting methods.
19. According to the speaker, what is the benefit of a “cooling-off” period?

B. It helps avoid impulse buys.
C. It lets you research product reviews.
20. What does the speaker recommend doing before a big purchase?
A. Checking your bank statement.
B. Discussing it with a friend or family member.
C. Looking for coupon codes.
【答案】18. B 19. B 20. B
【解析】
【原文】M: We’ve all been there in the age of online shopping: you scroll through a page, spot something that catches your eye, hit the “buy now” button without a second thought, and then feel instant regret once the excitement fades. Impulse spending has become far too easy with one-click ordering and mobile payment, and it’s a habit that can hurt our personal finances over time. Today, I want to share a simple yet powerful strategy to fight this: the 24-hour rule. When you’re tempted to buy a non-essential item, whether it’s a piece of clothing, a gadget or a home decor piece, add it to your cart and then step away from your phone or computer. Wait a full 24 hours before making a final decision. This “cooling-off” period gives your rational brain time to balance out your emotional urge to buy, and more often than not, you’ll find that the strong desire to own the item has faded completely by the next day, saving you unnecessary money and clutter. For bigger, more expensive purchases like electronics or furniture, I suggest extending this rule to 72 hours, and an extra tip: talk to a trusted friend or family member about it. Their outside perspective can help you see if the purchase is truly necessary. Remember, the goal here isn’t to stop spending money altogether, but to practice mindful, responsible spending — only putting your money into things that truly bring you long-term value and joy in life.

B
It was the first morning I woke up without coughing. Not a single wheeze, not a gasp for air that felt like swallowing glass. Two years ago, I was diagnosed with stage II lung cancer. The doctors said I’d never run again. At 58, I hadn’t run in decades — but the word “never” stuck in my throat like smoke.
After surgery and months of chemotherapy, I moved into a small house near the woods. My daughter gave me a potted eucalyptus plant. “Breathe it in,” she said. “It’s good for your lungs.” I didn’t believe her, but I watered it anyway — partly out of habit, partly out of hope.
Every day, I walked. First just to the mailbox. Then to the end of the street. Then around the block. My neighbor, Mrs. Lin, started joining me. She never asked about my illness; she just matched my pace and talked about birds or the weather. Slowly, my breath grew steadier.
One spring morning, I noticed new leaves sprouting on the eucalyptus. That same week, I walked two miles without stopping. I stood under a canopy of cherry blossoms, closed my eyes, and inhaled deeply — the scent sharp, clean, alive.
Last month, I ran. Not fast, not far — just fifty meters down the path behind my house. But as my feet hit the ground, I laughed. Not from pain, but from joy. The eucalyptus now stands taller than my kitchen window, its silver-green leaves rustling like whispered encouragement.
I still go for check-ups.
But now, when the doctor asks how I’m doing, I say, “Better than expected.” And I mean it—not just about my lungs, but about everything.
24. Why did the author’s daughter give him a eucalyptus plant?
A. To decorate his new house. B. To help improve his breathing.
C. To remind him of his childhood. D. To encourage him to garden more.
25. What does the underlined phrase “stuck in my throat like smoke” most likely mean?
A. It made him feel physically choked. B. It reminded him of his smoking habit.
C. It caused him emotional discomfort. D. It triggered a severe coughing fit.
26. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Medical treatment is essential for cancer recovery.
B. Nature plays a key role in healing physical wounds.
C. Recovery is a gradual process filled with quiet victories.
D. Family support determines the success of rehabilitation.
27. What can be inferred about the author’s attitude toward his recovery?
A. He remains anxious about relapse. B. He feels grateful and empowered.
C. He credits his cure entirely to nature. D. He regrets not exercising earlier in life.
【答案】24. B 25. C 26. C 27. B
【解析】

细节理解题。根据第二段中的“My daughter gave me a potted eucalyptus plant. “Breathe it in,” she said. “It’s good for your lungs.”(我的女儿送给我一盆桉树盆栽。“闻闻它的味道,”她说,“这对肺部有好处。”)”可知,作者的女儿送给他桉树盆栽是为了帮助改善他的呼吸状况,养护肺部。故选B项。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“The doctors said I’d never run again. At 58, I hadn’t run in decades—but the word “never” stuck in my throat like smoke.(医生说我再也不能跑步了。58岁的我已经几十年没跑过步了,但“再也不能”这个词却像烟雾一样哽在我的喉咙里。)”可知,作者虽许久未跑步,但医生口中的“never”让他内心难以接受,产生了强烈的情绪不适感,因此划线短语表示“带来了情绪上的不适”,与C选项意义一致。故选C项。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“It was the first morning I woke up without coughing. (这是我第一个醒来时没有咳嗽的早晨。)”、第三段中的“Every day, I walked. First just to the mailbox. Then to the end of the street. Then around the block. (我每天都走路。一开始只是走到邮筒旁,然后走到街尾,接着绕着街区走。)”、第四段中的“That same week, I walked two miles without stopping. (就在那一周,我一口气走了两英里。)”和第五段中的“Last month, I ran. Not fast, not far — just fifty meters down the path behind my house. (上个月,我跑步了。不快,也不远,只是沿着屋后的小路跑了五十米。)”可知,作者的康复从无咳嗽的清晨开始,历经从短距离走到长距离走,再到尝试跑步的逐步过程,每一个小突破都是一次无声的胜利,核心体现出康复是一个充满点滴无声胜利的渐进过程。故选C项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的“But as my feet hit the ground, I laughed. Not from pain, but from joy. The eucalyptus now stands taller than my kitchen window, its silver-green leaves rustling like whispered encouragement.(但当我的双脚触碰到地面时,我笑了。不是因为疼痛,而是因为喜悦。如今那棵桉树长得比我的厨房窗户还高,银绿色的叶子沙沙作响,像是轻声的鼓励。)”以及最后一段中的“I say, “Better than expected.” And I mean it — not just about my lungs, but about everything.(我说:“比预期的好。”我是真心这么说的——不仅是我的肺部状况,而是所有的一切。)”可知,作者为康复中的每一点进步感到喜悦,也感受到周遭事物的美好与鼓励,对自己的康复心怀感恩,也从中获得了前行的力量。故选B项。
C
Art in the healing Space
At Children’s National Hospital in Washington, D. C., Maya Lin doesn’t carry a stethoscope — but she helps heal just the same. As an art therapist, Lin works with young patients facing serious illnesses or recovering from surgery. “I’m not here to teach painting,” she says. “I’m here to help them express what words can’t.”
Every weekday, Lin sets up a quiet studio on the 5th floor. The room has no medical equipment — just colored pencils, clay, sketchbooks, and soft music. Some children come for one session; others return weekly for months. “After a bone marrow transplant, a 10-year-old might feel like a stranger in his own body,” Lin explains. “Through drawing, he can rebuild a sense of self.”
Lin tailors each activity to the child’s condition and emotional state. A teenager with anxiety might create a “calm jar” filled with glitter and water; a child recovering from trauma might build a safe house out of cardboard. “The goal isn’t a perfect picture,” Lin says. “It’s about giving them control when so much feels out of control.”
Dr. Elena Ruiz, a pediatric psychologist at the hospital, supports this approach. “Medical treatment fixes the body, but healing the mind is equally vital,” she notes. “For many kids, art becomes a voice. It shows us their fears, hopes, and even their humor.” One patient, after weeks of silence, drew a superhero version of her nurse — complete with a cape and a giant syringe labeled “Kindness.”
Hospital staff say these sessions often lead to breakthroughs in communication. Parents report that their children sleep better and talk more openly after art therapy. “They’re not just passing time,” says Lin. “They’re processing pain, building courage, and sometimes, rediscovering joy.”
28. Who does Maya Lin work with?
A. Medical students learning psychology. B. Young patients in a children’s hospital.
C. Nurses needing stress relief. D. Parents dealing with grief.
29. What can be inferred about Lin’s art sessions?
A. They focus on artistic skill development. B. They follow a fixed curriculum.
C. They are adapted to individual needs. D. They replace traditional counseling.
30. What does the word “it” refer to in paragraph 4?
A. Medical treatment. B. Art therapy.
C. Pediatric psychology. D. Verbal communication.
31. What is Dr. Ruiz’s attitude toward art therapy?
A. Skeptical. B. Cautious. C. Supportive. D. Indifferent.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. B 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述艺术治疗师玛雅·林在儿童医院通过艺术活动帮助患病儿童疏导情绪、实现心理疗愈的故事。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“As an art therapist, Lin works with young patients facing serious illnesses or recovering from surgery. (作为一名艺术治疗师,林为身患重病或术后康复的年轻患者提供帮助)”可知,玛雅·林的服务对象是儿童医院的年轻患者。故选B项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Lin tailors each activity to the child’s condition and emotional state. (林会根据孩子的身体状况和情绪状态量身定制每一项活动)”可知,林的艺术治疗课程是根据每个孩子的个体需求进行调整的。故选C项。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Medical treatment fixes the body, but healing the mind is equally vital,” she notes. “For many kids, art becomes a voice. It shows us their fears, hopes, and even their humor. (她指出:“药物治疗修复身体,但心理疗愈同样至关重要。对许多孩子来说,艺术成了一种发声的方式。它能让我们看到孩子的恐惧、希望,甚至是他们的幽默感”)”可知,前文提到艺术对患病孩子的作用,因此这里的 it指代的是艺术治疗。故选B项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Dr. Elena Ruiz, a pediatric psychologist at the hospital, supports this approach. (该医院的儿科心理学家埃琳娜·鲁伊斯博士对这种疗法表示支持)”可知,鲁伊斯博士对艺术治疗的态度是支持的。故选C项。
D
Does your soul die a little every time you throw away unused food? Mine does. Maybe that feeling comes from growing up in South Africa, where the phrase “there are children starving in Africa” was more of an uncomfortable reminder of fact than a prayer at dinner time.
Food waste is a growing concern in the restaurant, supermarket, and supply chain industries. From technological solutions to educational campaigns, food producers and sellers are looking for ways to use more of what we’re already growing. But last month, one popular New York City restaurant tried a different way: It changed its menu to exclusively (专门) offer food that would otherwise be thrown away.
For two weeks in March, Greenwich Village’s Blue Hill restaurant was renamed wastED, and served items like fried skate cartilage, a juice pulp burger, and a dumpster diver’s vegetable salad. Each dish was tailor-made to raise awareness regarding food waste.
A study by the Food Waste Alliance determined that the average restaurant generates 33 pounds of food waste for every $1,000 in revenue (收入), and of that waste only 15.7% is donated or recycled. Up to 84.3% is simply thrown out. Restaurants like Silo in the UK have experimented with zero-waste systems, but wastED took the concept to its logical conclusion.
It should be noted that none of the items on wastED’s menu was technically made from garbage. Instead, all the ingredients (配料) used were examples of meat cuts and produce that most restaurants would never consider serving. Things like kale ribs, fish collars, rejected sweet potatoes, and cucumber butts were all re-appropriated and, with the help of a number of good chefs, turned into excellent cuisine.
Though wastED received enthusiastic reviews, it was designed from the start as a short-lived experiment; Blue Hill has since returned to its regular menu. Nevertheless, it serves as a reminder that there are many ways to address problems of sustainability, and that you can make an amazing meal out of almost anything.
32. What can be inferred about the author’s early life?
A. He witnessed food shortage. B. He enjoyed the local cuisine.
C. He donated food to Africans. D. He helped to cook at home.
33. Why did Blue Hill carry out the experiment?
A. To customize dishes for guests. B. To make the public aware of food waste.
C. To test a food processing method. D. To improve the UK’s zero-waste systems.
34. What is paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. Why the ingredients were used. B. Which dishes were best liked.
C. What the dishes were made of. D. Where the ingredients were bought.
35. What can we learn about wastED?
A. It has ended as planned. B. It is creating new jobs.
C. It has regained popularity. D. It is criticized by top chefs.
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. C 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了食物浪费问题,并以纽约一家餐厅的短期实验项目“wastED”为例,该餐厅通过创意改造本该被丢弃的食材制作菜品,以此提高人们对可持续饮食的关注。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“Maybe that feeling comes from growing up in South Africa where the phrase “there are children starving in Africa” was more of an uncomfortable reminder of fact than a prayer at dinner time. (这种感觉或许源于在南非的成长经历 —— 在那里,“非洲还有孩子在挨饿” 这句话与其说是晚餐时的祈祷,不如说是对现实令人不安的提醒)” 可知,作者在南非长大,那里有孩子挨饿是事实,由此可推断作者早年目睹了食物短缺的情况。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“Each dish was tailor-made to raise awareness regarding food waste. (每道菜都是量身定制的,以提高人们对食物浪费的认识)”可知,Blue Hill餐厅进行这个实验,将菜单改为只提供原本会被扔掉的食物,是为了提高公众对食物浪费的认识。故选B。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第五段“It should be noted that none of the items on wastED’s menu was technically made from garbage. Instead, all the ingredients (配料) used were examples of meat cuts and produce that most restaurants would never consider serving. Things like kale ribs, fish collars, rejected sweet potatoes, and cucumber butts were all re-appropriated and, with the help of a number of good chefs, turned into excellent cuisine. (值得注意是,从技术上讲,wastED的菜单上没有一项是由垃圾制成的。相反,所有使用的食材都是大多数餐馆永远不会考虑供应的肉类部位和农产品。羽衣甘蓝茎、鱼颈肉、被挑拣的红薯和黄瓜蒂等东西都被重新利用,在许多优秀厨师的助力下,变成了美味的菜肴)”可知,本段主要介绍了wastED菜单上的菜品所用的配料,如羽衣甘蓝茎、鱼颈肉、被挑拣的红薯和黄瓜蒂等,所以本段主要讲的是这些菜肴是由什么做成的。故选C。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“Though wastED received enthusiastic reviews, it was designed from the start as a short-lived experiment; Blue Hill has since returned to its regular menu. (尽管 wastED 餐厅收获了热烈的评价,但它从一开始就被设计为短期实验项目;此后,Blue Hill 餐厅已回归常规菜单)”可知,wastED从一开始就被设计为短期实验,现在餐厅已恢复常规菜单,从而推断,实验项目“wastED”已经按计划结束了。故选A。

The Hidden Rewards of Family Eco-Volunteering
In an age of digital distraction and overscheduled lives, finding meaningful ways to connect as a family is harder than ever. Yet, one powerful solution lies not in buying more experiences, but in giving back — to nature itself. Participating in ecological restoration projects as a family offers far more than just clean parks or planted trees.
____36____. A 2024 global survey by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) revealed that families who regularly engage in habitat cleanup or native species planting report stronger emotional bonds and improved communication — especially between parents and teenagers, who often struggle to find common ground.
____37____. Contrary to the belief that environmental work is too physically demanding for young children or elderly grandparents, most community-based conservation programs now design tiered tasks: toddlers can help sort seeds, teens can map invasive plants using apps, and adults can lead soil testing. This inclusive structure ensures everyone contributes meaningfully — no one is sidelined.
Moreover, eco-volunteering cultivates what psychologists call “place attachment.” When children return year after year to the same wetland they helped restore, they develop a deep sense of stewardship. ____38____ Studies from the University of British Columbia show that such early ecological engagement correlates strongly with pro-environmental behaviors in adulthood — like recycling consistently or choosing sustainable careers.
____39____. The act of working side by side in mud or rain strips away social roles. A father isn’t just a provider; he’s the one holding the sapling steady while his daughter pats the soil. A grandmother isn’t just a caregiver; she’s sharing traditional knowledge about local herbs. These role shifts foster mutual respect and reveal hidden strengths. ____40____
Perhaps most unexpectedly, families discover that healing nature also heals relationships. In the quiet rhythm of planting or monitoring bird nests, words become unnecessary — and connection becomes effortless.
A. It reshapes family dynamics in subtle but lasting ways.
B. Volunteering together builds resilience against climate anxiety.
C. This emotional bond to a specific place becomes a moral compass.
D. You’ll be surprised how capable each family member truly is.
E. Family eco-volunteering delivers profound relational benefits.
F. Such activities are accessible to all ages and physical abilities.
G. Teenagers especially benefit from structured outdoor responsibility.

【39题详解】
下文“The act of working side by side in mud or rain strips away social roles. A father isn’t just a provider; he’s the one holding the sapling steady while his daughter pats the soil. A grandmother isn’t just a caregiver; she’s sharing traditional knowledge about local herbs. These role shifts foster mutual respect and reveal hidden strengths. (在泥泞或雨中并肩工作的行为剥离了社会角色。父亲不仅仅是提供者;他还是那个扶着小树苗,让女儿拍打土壤的人。祖母不仅仅是照顾者;她还在分享关于当地草药的传统知识。这些角色转变促进了相互尊重,并揭示了隐藏的力量。)”说明家庭生态志愿活动重塑了家庭动态,A项“It reshapes family dynamics in subtle but lasting ways. (它以微妙而持久的方式重塑了家庭动态。)”符合语境,引出下文。故选A。

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者从美国到中国浙江农村生活的经历与感受。
【56题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:然而现在,我和我的中国丈夫和他的家人住在中国浙江的农村,在那里山上野生竹子和茶树丛生,鸡总是自由放养的,而且没有集中供暖。本空引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词the countryside of Zhejiang,China,关系词代替先行词在从句中作地点状语,应用关系副词where引导。故填where。
【57题详解】
考查形容词。句意同上。本空修饰名词heating,应用形容词central“中央的,中心的”,作定语。故填central。
【58题详解】

续写词数应为150个左右;
I never thought I’d cry in front of another guy — especially not in grade 11. But that’s what happened the day I told Ethan about my mom’s lung cancer. We were sitting on the bleachers after soccer practice, and he just listened, his eyes never leaving mine. When I finished, he didn’t say “It’ll be okay.” He said, “Tell me what you need. I’m here.”
Ethan wasn’t just kind — he was relentless. He skipped weekend parties to help me translate medical emails. He convinced his doctor uncle to review my mom’s scans for free. And when the hospital said treatment costs were too high, he started a GoFundMe page titled “Save Wei’s Mom.” “She’s fighting for her son,” he wrote. “Let’s fight with her.”
Weeks passed. My mom’s condition worsened. One night, the doctor called: “Prepare for the worst.” I collapsed in the hallway. Ethan found me there, knees pulled to my chest. Without a word, he sat beside me — and stayed until sunrise.
The miracle happened — my mother fully recovered, and the doctors said she could come home.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
But as I was packing her suitcase, my phone rang: Ethan had been in a car accident on his way to celebrate with us and he was badly injured.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】示例一
The miracle happened — my mother fully recovered, and the doctors said she could come home.
I couldn’t stop smiling. For months, I’d lived in fear, translating medical reports at 3 a.m., crying in library stalls, begging the universe for just one more day with her. Now, it was real. She was going to live. I called Ethan immediately. “She’s coming home” I shouted into the phone. He whooped so loud I had to pull the phone away. “I’m bringing red bean buns — the ones you said your mom loves! Be there in an hour!” His voice was pure joy. I started packing her suitcase, humming a song she used to sing to me as a child, feeling like the weight of the world had finally lifted.
But as I was packing her suitcase, my phone rang: Ethan had been in a car accident on his way to celebrate with us — he was badly injured.
The world went silent. The buns he’d mentioned were still warm in my imagination; his laugh still echoed in my ears — now gone. I dropped to my knees, clutching the phone, sobbing uncontrollably. He was only seventeen, had fought for my mom like she was his own, and died on rain-slicked roads just to share our joy. At his funeral, I placed a photo in his casket — us grinning on the bleachers after our first soccer win. My mother whispered through tears, “He gave me back my life. Now we must live it for him too.” Months later, I started a community fund in Ethan’s name to help immigrant families with medical costs. Every time I sign a check, I hear his voice: “Tell me what you need. I’m here.” He’s gone — but his heart still beats in everything we do. And that, I’ve learned, is how love outlives death.
示例二
The miracle happened — my mother fully recovered, and the doctors said she could come home.
I called Ethan, breathless with joy. “She’s coming home tomorrow!” He laughed. “I’ll bring the dumplings — and my soccer ball!” I started packing her suitcase, folding the scarf she’d knitted me before chemo, feeling like sunlight had finally returned to my life.
But as I was packing her suitcase, my phone rang: Ethan had been in a car accident on his way to celebrate with us — he was badly injured.
My heart stopped. I rushed to the hospital. There he was, leg in cast, arm bandaged, but grinning weakly. “Sorry about the dumplings,” he croaked. “Car slid on ice… but I kept your mom’s get-well card in my pocket — it didn’t even tear.” I burst into tears — not of sorrow, but relief. He’d risked everything just to be there for us.
Weeks later, my mother cooked a huge dinner at our apartment. Ethan hobbled in on crutches, and she hugged him like a son. “You’re family,” she said in Mandarin. He didn’t understand the words — but he understood her eyes.
Now, every Sunday, we video-call her together. She teaches him Chinese phrases; he teaches her Canadian slang. Last week, he whispered to me, “Best day ever? The day your mom got better — and I got to keep my best friend.” I nodded. We’d faced darkness… and walked out hand in hand. Some miracles aren’t just survival — they’re second chances, shared.
示例三
The miracle happened — my mother fully recovered, and the doctors said she could come home.
I texted Ethan: “She’s clear! Come over tonight?” He replied instantly: “On my way — with buns!” I smiled folding her favorite sweater into the suitcase, finally letting myself believe the nightmare was over.
But as I was packing her suitcase, my phone rang: Ethan had been in a car accident on his way to celebrate with us — he was badly injured.
At the hospital, I found him pale, hooked to monitors, but awake. “Stupid ice,” he muttered. “Missed the celebration.” I sat beside him, silent. Guilt gnawed at me — had my call distracted him? Had my joy cost him pain?
He must’ve seen it in my eyes. “Don’t you dare blame yourself,” he said sharply. “I chose to drive. I’d do it again.”
Recovery was slow. He missed exams, lost his soccer spot, and sometimes snapped from frustration. I visited daily — helping with homework, bringing soup, sitting in silence when words failed. Our friendship wasn’t easy anymore. But it was real.
Months later, my mom invited him for tea. As they laughed over her terrible English pronunciation, I realized: healing isn’t perfect. It’s messy, uneven, full of setbacks. But when someone walks through fire with you — even if they stumble — you don’t walk alone. And that’s enough.

We've all been there in the age of online shopping, you grow through a page spot, something that catches your eye, hit the buy now button without a second thought, and then feel instant regret once the excitement fades. Import spending has become far too easy with one click ordering and mobile payment, and it's a habit that can hurt our personal finances over time. Today, I want to share a simple yet powerful strategy to fight this. The twenty four hour rule, when you're attempted to buy a non essential item, whether it's a piece of clothing, a gadget or a holder, core peace, add IT IT to your cart, and then step away from your phone or computer, wait a full twenty four hours before making a final decision.

I suggest extending this rule to seventy two hours and an extra tip, talk to a trusted friend or family member about IT their outside perspective can help you see if the purchase is truly necessary.

Eco-Birding Festivals to Join in 2025
As global awareness of biodiversity loss grows, bird watching has become a popular way for people to connect with nature. In November 2025, several eco-friendly birding festivals will take place around the world, offering guided tours, citizen science activities, and photography workshops — all designed to support conservation.
1. Poyang Lake Bird Festival-Jiangxi, China
Held from November 15 to December 5, 2025, this festival celebrates the arrival of over 700,000 migratory birds, including the endangered Siberian crane. Visitors can join free guided walks led by local rangers, attend talks on wetland protection, and try "silent birding" (observing without playback calls). Registration is required online at http://www.poyangbirdfest.cn.
2. Cape May Fall migration Weekend-New Jersey, USA
Taking place November 8-9, 2025, this long-running event features expert-led field trips, live bird banding demonstrations, and family-friendly crafts. Over 300 bird species have been recorded here during fall migration. Early registration is recommended due to limited group sizes.
3. Doñana National Park Bird Fair-Andalusia, Spain
From November 22-24, 2025, this fair combines bird watching with climate action. Activities include drone-free monitoring training, youth conservation camps, and evening film screenings about wetland ecosystems. The park is home to flamingos, imperial eagles, and purple swamphens.
All events welcome beginners. Binoculars are available to borrow at no cost. For more details, visit http://www.globalbirdfest

It was the first morning I woke up without coughing. Not a single wheeze, not a gasp for air that felt like swallowing glass. Two years ago, I was diagnosed with stage II lung cancer. The doctors said I’d never run again. At 58, I hadn’t run in decades — but the word “never” stuck in my throat like smoke.
After surgery and months of chemotherapy, I moved into a small house near the woods. My daughter gave me a potted eucalyptus plant. “Breathe it in,” she said. “It’s good for your lungs.” I didn’t believe her, but I watered it anyway — partly out of habit, partly out of hope.
Every day, I walked. First just to the mailbox. Then to the end of the street. Then around the block. My neighbor, Mrs. Lin, started joining me. She never asked about my illness; she just matched my pace and talked about birds or the weather. Slowly, my breath grew steadier.
One spring morning, I noticed new leaves sprouting on the eucalyptus. That same week, I walked two miles without stopping. I stood under a canopy of cherry blossoms, closed my eyes, and inhaled deeply — the scent sharp, clean, alive.
Last month, I ran. Not fast, not far — just fifty meters down the path behind my house. But as my feet hit the ground, I laughed. Not from pain, but from joy. The eucalyptus now stands taller than my kitchen window, its silver-green leaves rustling like whispered encouragement.
I still go for check-ups.
But now, when the doctor asks how I’m doing, I say, “Better than expected.” And I mean it—not just about my lungs, but about everything.
24. Why did the author’s daughter give him a eucalyptus plant?
A. To decorate his new house. B. To help improve his breathing.
C. To remind him of his childhood. D. To encourage him to garden more.
25. What does the underlined phrase “stuck in my throat like smoke” most likely mean?
A. It made him feel physically choked. B. It reminded him of his smoking habit.
C. It caused him emotional discomfort. D. It triggered a severe coughing fit.
26. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Medical treatment is essential for cancer recovery.
B. Nature plays a key role in healing physical wounds.
C. Recovery is a gradual process filled with quiet victories.
D. Family support determines the success of rehabilitation.
27. What can be inferred about the author’s attitude toward his recovery?
A. He remains anxious about relapse. B. He feels grateful and empowered.
C. He credits his cure entirely to nature. D. He regrets not exercising earlier in life.
C
Art in the healing Space
At Children’s National Hospital in Washington, D. C., Maya Lin doesn’t carry a stethoscope — but she helps heal just the same. As an art therapist, Lin works with young patients facing serious illnesses or recovering from surgery. “I’m not here to teach painting,” she says. “I’m here to help them express what words can’t.”
Every weekday, Lin sets up a quiet studio on the 5th floor. The room has no medical equipment — just colored pencils, clay, sketchbooks, and soft music. Some children come for one session; others return weekly for months. “After a bone marrow transplant, a 10-year-old might feel like a stranger in his own body,” Lin explains. “Through drawing, he can rebuild a sense of self.”
Lin tailors each activity to the child’s condition and emotional state. A teenager with anxiety might create a “calm jar” filled with glitter and water; a child recovering from trauma might build a safe house out of cardboard. “The goal isn’t a perfect picture,” Lin says. “It’s about giving them control when so much feels out of control.”
Dr. Elena Ruiz, a pediatric psychologist at the hospital, supports this approach. “Medical treatment fixes the body, but healing the mind is equally vital,” she notes. “For many kids, art becomes a voice. It shows us their fears, hopes, and even their humor.” One patient, after weeks of silence, drew a superhero version of her nurse — complete with a cape and a giant syringe labeled “Kindness.”
Hospital staff say these sessions often lead to breakthroughs in communication. Parents report that their children sleep better and talk more openly after art therapy. “They’re not just passing time,” says Lin. “They’re processing pain, building courage, and sometimes, rediscovering joy.”
28. Who does Maya Lin work with?
A. Medical students learning psychology. B. Young patients in a children’s hospital.
C. Nurses needing stress relief. D. Parents dealing with grief.
29. What can be inferred about Lin’s art sessions?
A. They focus on artistic skill development. B. They follow a fixed curriculum.
C. They are adapted to individual needs. D. They replace traditional counseling.
30. What does the word “it” refer to in paragraph 4?
A. Medical treatment. B. Art therapy.
C. Pediatric psychology. D. Verbal communication.
31. What is Dr. Ruiz’s attitude toward art therapy?
A. Skeptical. B. Cautious. C. Supportive. D. Indifferent.
D
Does your soul die a little every time you throw away unused food? Mine does. Maybe that feeling comes from growing up in South Africa, where the phrase “there are children starving in Africa” was more of an uncomfortable reminder of fact than a prayer at dinner time.
Food waste is a growing concern in the restaurant, supermarket, and supply chain industries. From technological solutions to educational campaigns, food producers and sellers are looking for ways to use more of what we’re already growing. But last month, one popular New York City restaurant tried a different way: It changed its menu to exclusively (专门) offer food that would otherwise be thrown away.
For two weeks in March Greenwich Village’s Blue Hill restaurant was renamed wastED, and served items like fried skate cartilage, a juice pulp burger, and a dumpster diver’s vegetable salad. Each dish was tailor-made to raise awareness regarding food waste.
A study by the Food Waste Alliance determined that the average restaurant generates 33 pounds of food waste for every $1,000 in revenue (收入), and of that waste only 15.7% is donated or recycled. Up to 84.3% is simply thrown out. Restaurants like Silo in the UK have experimented with zero-waste systems, but wastED took the concept to its logical conclusion.
It should be noted that none of the items on wastED’s menu was technically made from garbage. Instead, all the ingredients (配料) used were examples of meat cuts and produce that most restaurants would never consider serving. Things like kale ribs, fish collars, rejected sweet potatoes, and cucumber butts were all re-appropriated and, with the help of a number of good chefs, turned into excellent cuisine.
Though wastED received enthusiastic reviews, it was designed from the start as a short-lived experiment; Blue Hill has since returned to its regular menu. Nevertheless, it serves as a reminder that there are many ways to address problems of sustainability, and that you can make an amazing meal out of almost anything.
32. What can be inferred about the author’s early life?
A. He witnessed food shortage. B. He enjoyed the local cuisine.
C. He donated food to Africans. D. He helped to cook at home.
33. Why did Blue Hill carry out the experiment?
A. To customize dishes for guests. B. To make the public aware of food waste.
C. To test a food processing method. D. To improve the UK’s zero-waste systems.
34. What is paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. Why the ingredients were used. B. Which dishes were best liked.
C. What the dishes were made of. D. Where the ingredients were bought.
35. What can we learn about wastED?
A. It has ended as planned. B. It is creating new jobs.
C. It has regained popularity. D. It is criticized by top chefs.

The Hidden Rewards of Family Eco-Volunteering
In an age of digital distraction and overscheduled lives, finding meaningful ways to connect as a family is harder than ever. Yet, one powerful solution lies not in buying more experiences, but in giving back — to nature itself. Participating in ecological restoration projects as a family offers far more than just clean parks or planted trees.
____36____. A 2024 global survey by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) revealed that families who regularly engage in habitat cleanup or native species planting report stronger emotional bonds and improved communication — especially between parents and teenagers, who often struggle to find common ground.
____37____. Contrary to the belief that environmental work is too physically demanding for young children or elderly grandparents, most community-based conservation programs now design tiered tasks: toddlers can help sort seeds, teens can map invasive plants using apps, and adults can lead soil testing. This inclusive structure ensures everyone contributes meaningfully — no one is sidelined.
Moreover, eco-volunteering cultivates what psychologists call “place attachment.” When children return year after year to the same wetland they helped restore, they develop a deep sense of stewardship. ____38____ Studies from the University of British Columbia show that such early ecological engagement correlates strongly with pro-environmental behaviors in adulthood — like recycling consistently or choosing sustainable careers.
____39____. The act of working side by side in mud or rain strips away social roles. A father isn’t just a provider; he’s the one holding the sapling steady while his daughter pats the soil. A grandmother isn’t just a caregiver; she’s sharing traditional knowledge about local herbs. These role shifts foster mutual respect and reveal hidden strengths. ____40____
Perhaps most unexpectedly, families discover that healing nature also heals relationships. In the quiet rhythm of planting or monitoring bird nests, words become unnecessary — and connection becomes effortless.
A. It reshapes family dynamics in subtle but lasting ways.
B. Volunteering together builds resilience against climate anxiety.
C. This emotional bond to a specific place becomes a moral compass.
D You’ll be surprised how capable each family member truly is.
E. Family eco-volunteering delivers profound relational benefits.
F. Such activities are accessible to all ages and physical abilities.
G. Teenagers especially benefit from structured outdoor responsibility.

Determined to turn her life around, Ms. Donohue began to work out regularly and follow a ____45____ lifestyle. Soon, she discovered a deep ____46____ for weightlifting. Since setting out on this journey, the ____47____ lover has not only built an impressive set of muscles but also gained a huge following on social media.
The well-known grandma regularly posts workout videos, always emphasizing: “There’s no ____48____ others can’t look and feel this good.” She credits her success to several key principles.
“Hold on,” she says. “Consider failure as a ____49____ to success and never give up. Stick to your plan.” She also believes in lifting others up: “____50____ others on your journey. Success is sweeter when ____51____.”
She once explained, “You don’t need to have an amazing body to start exercising. The real ____52____ is to feel good, not look good.”
Ms. Donohue used to be laughed at for being “too old” to lift weights. But she has proved the ____53____ wrong in the best possible way — and has become a true ____54____ for millions.

I never thought I’d cry in front of another guy — especially not in grade 11. But that’s what happened the day I told Ethan about my mom’s lung cancer. We were sitting on the bleachers after soccer practice, and he just listened, his eyes never leaving mine. When I finished, he didn’t say “It’ll be okay.” He said, “Tell me what you need. I’m here.”
Ethan wasn’t just kind — he was relentless. He skipped weekend parties to help me translate medical emails. He convinced his doctor uncle to review my mom’s scans for free. And when the hospital said treatment costs were too high, he started a GoFundMe page titled “Save Wei’s Mom.” “She’s fighting for her son,” he wrote. “Let’s fight with her.”
Weeks passed. My mom’s condition worsened. One night, the doctor called: “Prepare for the worst.” I collapsed in the hallway. Ethan found me there, knees pulled to my chest. Without a word, he sat beside me — and stayed until sunrise.
The miracle happened — my mother fully recovered, and the doctors said she could come home.

But as I was packing her suitcase, my phone rang: Ethan had been in a car accident on his way to celebrate with us and he was badly injured.
