Bring the beauty of native birds into your home
with unique artwork by Pam McGrath
Australia and its offshore islands and territories have 898 recorded bird species as of 2014. Of the recorded birds, 165 are considered accidental visitors, of the remainder over 45% are classified as Australian endemics: found nowhere else on earth. It has been suggested that up to 10% of Australian bird species may go extinct by the year 2100 as a result of climate change.
Artist Pam McGrath expresses her lifetime concern for wildlife conservation through these paintings of Australian birds. While celebrating their beauty and diversity, the birds are presented in abstract design with straight lines, rather than the delicate natural form, to suggest the challenges of their adaption to environmental change.

If there’s one sound which represents everything there is to fall in love with on safari (观兽旅行), it’s the roar of a lion at nightfall. I heard it one evening in the Qwabi Private Game Reserve, where the Waterberg mountains spread outward like an unfolding story.
We’d just watched a remarkable standoff: lionesses baring teeth and muscle to a dominant male who’d wandered too close. The roars came first, then a sudden, striking charge. Paws (爪子) flew and their breath hung in the air over the grasslands, before the male eventually turned and dropped to the ground in defeat. It was pure theatre, to which we had front-row seats.
The Waterberg is a place of quiet success. A UNESCO Biosphere Reserve since 2001, this 654,000-hectare region in Limpopo Province is one of South Africa’s best-kept safari secrets. It’s a region where conservation feels like a lived value. Thanks to collaboration between private reserves, landowners and anti-illegal hunting units, the region has recorded some of the lowest rhino (犀牛) illegal hunting statistics in the country.
Head guide Damien Fourie was extensive in his knowledge and boyishly excited about every sight and sound. After careful tracking we came across a group of lions resting beneath a thorn tree, their bodies exposed only by the swinging of a tail. And when we spotted a two-week-old white rhino walking unsteadily beside its mother later on the drive, he was as thrilled as we were.
Still, even if you see nothing but sky and silence, the Waterberg delivers. On our final morning, after a night of rain, I skipped the game drive in favor of a coffee on the deck. I watched the steam rise as the morning sun warmed the valley. The end of my time in the bush came with no distant lion roars, no whispering packs, no newborn rhino. Not every safari needs a drumroll ending. Sometimes, a slow, misty morning and a quiet deck tick all the boxes.
4. What did the author witness about the lions?
A. Their playful race. B. Their staged show.
C. Their fierce conflict. D. Their hunting attempt.
5. What do the underlined words “a lived value” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. A theoretical principle. B. A widely spread belief.
C. A practically applied norm. D. A traditionally held concept.
6. Which of the following best describes Damien?
A. Calm and distant. B. Informed and passionate.
C. Energetic and creative. D. Disciplined and ambitious.
7. What does the author think of the safari?
A. It displayed racial harmony. B. It had an exciting ending.
C. It revealed why she loved nature. D. It satisfied what she could hope for.
【答案】4. C 5. C 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者记述了自己在南非沃特堡生物圈保护区的一次观兽旅行经历,描绘了目睹狮子冲突、追踪野生动物的激动,也描述了保护区在合作保护下的成功,并最终在宁静的晨雾中感受到旅行的圆满,传达了人与自然和谐共处的感悟。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“We’d just watched a remarkable standoff: lionesses baring teeth and muscle to a dominant male who’d wandered too close. The roars came first, then a sudden, striking charge. Paws (爪子) flew and their breath hung in the air over the grasslands, before the male eventually turned and dropped to the ground in defeat.(我们刚刚目睹了一场惊心动魄的对峙场面:母狮们露出獠牙,摆出战斗姿势,以抵御一只过于靠近的雄狮。先是传来阵阵咆哮声,随后是一阵突然而迅猛的冲撞。它们的爪子挥舞着,呼吸的气息在草原上弥漫开来,最终那雄狮转过身,瘫倒在地,败下阵来)”可知,作者目睹的是狮子之间一场紧张激烈的冲突。故选C项。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段划线词所在句“It’s a region where conservation feels like a lived value. (这是一个环境保护感觉像是a lived value的地区)”以及后文“Thanks to collaboration between private reserves, landowners and anti-illegal hunting units, the region has recorded some of the lowest rhino (犀牛) illegal hunting statistics in the country. (由于私人保护区、土地所有者和反非法狩猎单位之间的合作,该地区记录了全国最低的犀牛非法猎杀统计数据之一)”可知,这里的环保不仅仅是口号或理论,而是通过多方合作,实实在在地取得了成效(犀牛盗猎率极低),成为了在日常生活中被践行和应用的标准或准则。因此,“a lived value”应理解为在实践中被应用的价值或准则。故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Head guide Damien Fourie was extensive in his knowledge and boyishly excited about every sight and sound. (首席向导Damien Fourie知识渊博,并且对每一次所见所闻都表现出孩子般的兴奋)”可推知,Damien的特点一是知识丰富(extensive in his knowledge),二是充满热情(boyishly excited)。故选B项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段,尤其是最后两句“Not every safari needs a drumroll ending. Sometimes, a slow, misty morning and a quiet deck tick all the boxes. (并非每一次观兽旅行都需要一个激动人心的结局。有时,一个缓慢的、雾蒙蒙的早晨和一个安静的甲板就能满足所有的期待)”可知,作者认为这次旅行最终的宁静清晨虽然没有惊心动魄的动物景象,但同样令人满足。这表明作者认为这次旅行满足了她所期望的一切。故选D项。
C
Cities are not just visual landscapes — they are acoustic (声音的) environments. Yet for decades, urban planning has treated sound primarily as a disturbance to be blocked. Today, this mindset is shifting.
Long-term exposure to high noise increases stress, sleep disorders, and heart disease. Yet urban sounds are not necessarily negative. Researchers like Barry Truax and Murray Schafer pioneered the concept of the soundscape: listening to the total acoustic environment instead of measuring single sources of noise. Recent studies show that diverse sound environments — for example, combining birdsong, water features, or urban plants — can reduce stress levels compared to mono low-frequency noise.
How to shape a city that makes good sounds? Urban layout (布局) matters. Wide roads can bring down noise but may increase traffic speed, generating more sound. Good urban sound design may help avoid this. In Miami Beach, SoundScape Park combines landscape architecture with a special sound system to improve performance effect, showing how public space can use sound positively.
However, despite growing awareness, few city plans include sound as a core design factor. Cities like Paris and Zurich are beginning to change this by using noise maps in their city plans and requiring acoustic impact assessments for major construction. Integrating sound-sensitive criteria into planning policy ensures that sound comfort is considered with air quality, light, and mobility.
New technologies are also helping us shape a better soundscape. Acoustic sensors and AI-powered noise mapping tools can track real-time sound conditions and mobile apps enable citizens to report pleasant or disturbing soundscapes, encouraging shared sound management.
Urban sound design must go beyond noise control. City planners, architects, and local communities should co-create spaces that sound as good as they look. Good urban soundscapes remind us that cities are not silent — they are meant to be heard.
8. What was the problem with past city planning?
A. Undervaluing the role of sound. B. Focusing on diverse environments.
C. Ignoring the management of noise. D. Designing poor urban soundscapes.
9. What can we learn about urban soundscapes from paragraph 2?
A. All urban sounds are harmful to people’s physical health.
B. Multiple acoustic environments benefit people’s mental health.
C. The concept of soundscape focuses on measuring single noise sources.
D. Long-term exposure to any noise will cause heart disease and sleep problems.
10. Which of the following contributes to a better soundscape?
A. Having urban roads expanded.
B. Inspiring joint sound-shaping efforts.
C. Maximizing control of individual noise.
D. Improving urban air quality and mobility.
11. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A. Urban sound design comes first.
B. Noise control is no longer necessary.
C. Cities’ soundscape improves its appearance.
D. Soundscape design should be taken seriously.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍城市声景的重要性,过往城市规划的不足,打造良好城市声景的方法及相关技术与发展趋势。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Yet for decades, urban planning has treated sound primarily as a disturbance to be blocked.(几十年来,城市规划一直将声音主要视为一种需要被阻隔的干扰。)”可知,过去的城市规划将声音仅当作干扰来阻隔,实则是低估了声音在城市建设中的作用。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Recent studies show that diverse sound environments — for example, combining birdsong, water features, or urban plants — can reduce stress levels compared to mono low-frequency noise.(近期的研究表明,与单一的低频噪音相比,多样化的声音环境——例如融合鸟鸣、水景或城市绿植的声音——能够降低人们的压力水平。)”可知,多样化的声音环境相较于单一噪音能缓解压力,对人们的心理健康有益。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“City planners, architects, and local communities should co-create spaces that sound as good as they look.(城市规划者、建筑师和当地社区应当共同打造听觉效果与视觉效果同样出色的空间。)”可知,鼓励各方共同参与打造声景的努力,有助于营造更好的城市声景。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Urban sound design must go beyond noise control. City planners, architects, and local communities should co-create spaces that sound as good as they look. Good urban soundscapes remind us that cities are not silent — they are meant to be heard.(城市声音设计必须超越噪音控制。城市规划者、建筑师和当地社区应当共同打造听觉效果与视觉效果同样出色的空间。良好的城市声景提醒我们,城市并非寂静之地——它们本就该被聆听。)”可知,作者强调城市声音设计的重要性,呼吁相关方重视并共同打造优质的城市声景,暗示声景设计应被认真对待。故选D项。
D
You’ve probably encountered images in your social media feeds that look like a cross between photographs and computer-generated graphics. Some are imaginative and some are believable at a quick look — remember the little girl carrying a little dog in a boat during a flood? These are examples of AI slop (垃圾), low-to mid-quality content — video, images, audio, text or a mix — created with AI tools, often with little regard for accuracy. It’s fast, easy and inexpensive to make this content. AI slop producers typically place it on social media to employ the economics of attention on the Internet, displacing higher-quality material that could be more helpful.
AI slop has been increasing over the past few years. As the term “slop” indicates, that’s generally not good for people using the Internet. The Guardian published an analysis in July 2025 examining how AI slop is taking over YouTube’s fastest-growing channels. The journalists found that nine out of the top 100 fastest-growing channels feature AI-generated content. In many cases, people post AI slop that’s just good enough to attract and keep users’ attention, allowing them to profit from platforms that monetize (变现) streaming and view-based content.
The ease of generating content with AI enables people to post low-quality articles to publications. Clarkesworld, an online science fiction magazine that accepts user posts and pays contributors, stopped taking new posts in 2024 because of the flood of AI-generated writing it was getting.
AI slop also harms artists by causing job and financial losses and crowding out content made by real creators. The placement of this lower-quality AI-generated content is often not distinguished by the algorithms (算法) that drive social media consumption, and it displaces entire classes of creators who previously made their livelihood from online content.
Wherever it’s enabled, you can flag content that’s harmful or problematic. On some platforms, you can add community notes to the content to provide context. For harmful content, you can try to report it. Along with forcing us to be on guard for “inauthentic” social media accounts, AI is now leading to piles of rubbish degrading our media environment.
12. Why do producers create AI slop according to Paragraph 1?
A. To replace professional materials.
B. To improve artistic expression globally.
C. To use Internet attention economies for profit.
D. To educate Internet users about new technologies.
13. What can we infer from Clarkesworld’s action in 2024?
A. Science fiction became less popular.
B. Poor AI content flooded their system.
C. Their subscriber base doubled unexpectedly.
D. They began paying higher fees for human writers.
14. What should individuals do regarding the rise of AI slop?
A. Stop using AI-generated content.
B. Avoid engaging with social media platforms.
C. Rely on algorithms to screen out low-quality content.
D. Take action by marking harmful AI-generated content.
15. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. AI Slop: A New Form of Art
B. The Positive Effects of AI on Media
C. The Role of Social Media in Promoting AI Slop
D. AI Slop: The Growing Threat to Online Content
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了AI垃圾内容的特征与制作目的,指出其泛滥挤占优质内容空间、损害创作者利益,还给出了标记和举报不良内容的应对办法。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“AI slop producers typically place it on social media to employ the economics of attention on the Internet, displacing higher-quality material that could be more helpful.(人工智能垃圾制造者通常将其放在社交媒体上,利用互联网上的注意力经济,取代可能更有帮助的更高质量的材料)”以及第二段中“In many cases, people submit AI slop that’s just good enough to attract and keep users’ attention, allowing the submitter to profit from platforms that monetize (变现) streaming and view-based content.(在许多情况下,人们提交的人工智能内容足以吸引和保持用户的注意力,从而允许提交者从通过流媒体和基于观看的内容赚钱的平台中获利)”可知,创作者制作人工智能垃圾内容的目的是利用互联网注意力经济来获利。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Clarkesworld, an online science fiction magazine that accepts user submissions and pays contributors, stopped taking new submissions in 2024 because of the flood of AI-generated writing it was getting.(在线科幻杂志《克拉克世界》接受用户投稿并向投稿者付费,但由于人工智能生成的文章泛滥成风,该杂志从2024年开始停止接受新投稿)”可推知,这家杂志社暂停接收新稿件是因为收到了大量人工智能生成的投稿,其投稿系统被人工智能投稿淹没。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Wherever it’s enabled, you can flag content that’s harmful or problematic. On some platforms, you can add community notes to the content to provide context. For harmful content, you can try to report it.(在启用它的地方,您可以标记有害或有问题的内容。在某些平台上,您可以向内容添加社区注释以提供上下文。对于有害内容,您可以尝试报告它)”可推知,核心行动为两点:①标记 (flag)有问题的内容;②为内容添加社区注释(add community notes)以提供背景信息(即纠正误导)。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章围绕人工智能垃圾内容展开,先后阐述了其特点、制作目的,还重点说明了它抢占优质内容空间、冲击创作者生存、破坏媒体环境等危害,同时给出应对办法。D选项“人工智能垃圾内容:对网络内容日益严重的威胁”能全面概括文章核心主旨,适合作为文章的标题。故选D项。

I love thinking about teams. I love thinking about how to create an environment that will make a group of people want to be on the team. I love considering the best ways to build a great team.
Here is one of my favorite team concepts: the sign of a great team is not the absence of conflict. Rather, the sign of a great team is the ability to resolve conflict. ____16____ But our ability to consistently resolve that conflict impacts the kind of team we have more than any other variable. If we learn how to resolve the conflict, the team will be together for very long.
Now, the “how” is the hardest part of conflict resolution. ____17____ But in my experience, the key aspect of consistent conflict resolution comes down to listening and respect. When we listen to each other and respect the opposing perspective (视角), we can have reasonable dialogue. ____18____
That we listen to and respect other perspectives does not mean we always have to agree. ____19____ That's fine. But simple listening skills and demonstrations of respect are at the heart of consistent and reasonable conflict resolution.
Great teams are not on the same page all the time. ____20____ So when you are trying to build a great team or when you think you have one and want to keep it great, spend some time thinking about how you will handle those difficult moments when the team is not on the same page.
A. We can still agree to disagree.
B. But great teams know how to get there.
C. The best relationships take time and effort.
D. It is always complex and often requires multiple steps.
E. Then we are likely to be on our way to eventual resolution.
F. People on a team often work together towards a common goal.
G. That is because even the best teams unavoidable have conflict.
【答案】16. G 17. D 18. E 19. A 20. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章作者围绕“团队建设”这一主题,提出了核心观点——优秀团队的标志并非是没有冲突,而是具备解决冲突的能力。
【16题详解】
上文“Here is one of my favorite team concepts: the sign of a great team is not the absence of conflict. Rather, the sign of a great team is the ability to resolve conflict. (这是我最喜欢的一个团队理念:优秀团队的标志并非是没有冲突,而是具备解决冲突的能力。)”提出了关于优秀团队与冲突关系的核心观点,下文“But our ability to consistently resolve that conflict impacts the kind of team we have more than any other variable. (但相比其他任何因素,我们持续解决冲突的能力对团队的影响都更大。)”强调了解决冲突能力的重要性。G项“这是因为即使是最优秀的团队也不可避免地会产生冲突。”承上启下,“this”指代上文“优秀团队需具备解决冲突能力”的观点,解释了该观点的原因——冲突无法避免,从而自然衔接下文对“解决冲突能力”重要性的论述,逻辑连贯。故选G。
【17题详解】
上文“Now, the ‘how’ is the hardest part of conflict resolution. (如今,如何解决冲突是冲突处理中最难的部分。)”点明了冲突解决的难点在于具体方法,下文“But in my experience, the key aspect of consistent conflict resolution comes down to listening and respect. (但以我的经验来看,持续解决冲突的核心在于倾听和尊重。)”通过转折给出了冲突解决的关键要素。D项“它往往很复杂,通常需要多个步骤。”承接上文,“it”指代“conflict resolution”,进一步说明冲突解决的难度——复杂且步骤多,为下文转折引出核心解决方法做铺垫,符合语境。故选D。
【18题详解】
上文“When we listen to each other and respect the opposing perspective (视角), we can have reasonable dialogue. (当我们彼此倾听、尊重对立的视角时,就能进行理性的对话。)”指出了倾听和尊重能带来理性对话的结果,E项“那么我们就有可能朝着最终解决冲突的方向迈进。”承接上文,“then”承接前文“进行理性对话”的前提,说明该前提能推动冲突走向解决,形成逻辑上的递进,贴合段落关于冲突解决的论述。故选E。
【19题详解】
上文“That we listen to and respect other perspectives does not mean we always have to agree. (倾听并尊重他人的观点,并不意味着我们必须始终达成一致。)”表明了“倾听尊重”与“意见一致”的关系,下文“That's fine. But simple listening skills and demonstrations of respect are at the heart of consistent and reasonable conflict resolution. (这没关系。但简单的倾听技巧和尊重的表现,是持续且理性解决冲突的核心。)”说明意见不一致也不影响冲突解决。A项“我们仍然可以求同存异。”承接上文,对“不必始终达成一致”进行具体阐释,即可以保留不同意见,同时衔接下文“这没关系”的表述,逻辑通顺。故选A。
【20题详解】
上文“Great teams are not on the same page all the time. (优秀的团队并非始终意见一致。)”指出优秀团队也会存在分歧,下文“So when you are trying to build a great team or when you think you have one and want to keep it great, spend some time thinking about how you will handle those difficult moments when the team is not on the same page. (因此,当你试图打造一支优秀团队,或者你认为自己已经拥有一支优秀团队并想保持其优秀时,花些时间思考如何处理团队意见不一致的艰难时刻。)”强调了处理分歧的重要性。B项“但优秀的团队知道如何达成共识。”承接上文,通过“but”转折,在承认团队会有分歧的基础上,点明优秀团队的核心能力——懂得如何达成共识,为下文提出“处理分歧”的建议做铺垫,符合文章主旨。故选B。

【答案】范文 (1)
Dear Peter,
I’m really glad that you’re curious about the debate we held recently, the topic of which is “Is space exploration worthwhile?”
Some of my classmates held the opinion that it’s not worthwhile. They said the large amount of money spent on it could be better used to deal with urgent global issues, such as hunger and environmental pollution. However, the others thought it was valuable, for it can drive the development of new technologies and help humans learn more about the unknown universe.
As for me, I believe space exploration is a worthy attempt. It may bring unexpected benefits to our life in the long run.
Yours,
Li Hua
范文(2)
Dear Peter,
I’m thrilled that you’re interested in the heated debate we had, themed “Is space exploration worthwhile?”
Opponents argued the astronomical funds for space programs should be directed to tackle urgent Earth issues: relieving poverty reversing environmental damage, and narrowing the wealth gap. While advocates held that it fuels frontier tech innovations — like advanced navigation and life-support systems. They believe that it will benefit daily life and satisfy humanity’s instinct to explore the unknown.
I side with the advocates. Space exploration is not a waste, but a far-sighted investment that pushes human to evolve and thrive.
Yours,
Li Hua

47. 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。
In the final stage of the cycling race, with only 300 meters left, I was riding just behind my teammate Samuel.
We had trained together since freshman year at Seaside High. Every morning, we rode along the coast, breathing in salty air and pushing each other to go faster. We took turns leading the way, pushing each other to keep the pace, especially on long uphill roads. When one of us felt tired, the other would stay close and keep going. Over the years, Samuel and I had always treated every ride seriously.
Suddenly, Samuel’s tire blew out with a loud sound. Without stopping or looking back for help, he lifted his bike onto his shoulder and began to run toward the finish line, determined to complete the race properly. His steps were heavy, but he kept moving forward. From behind, I could clearly see how hard he was trying.
As I rode, many memories came back to me: a rainy day when we pushed our bikes through deep mud and refused to give up; a quiet night sitting on the river bank when we shared one orange and talked about racing abroad one day; and the chocolate bar he had secretly put into my pocket this morning, with “For luck” written on it.
I knew that with just a little more effort, I could pass Samuel and move ahead — to the podium spot (领奖台) we’d both been chasing. The thought was simple and clear, and my body was ready to act. But at the same time, my heart hesitated. Years of training, shared struggles, and long friendship suddenly weighed on my mind. Right then and there, almost like waking up from a dream, I reminded myself why I was here. With that in mind, I steadied my breathing as the finish line drew closer.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;

So I did what I felt right.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
So I did what I felt right. I took a deep breath, fixed my eyes on the road ahead, and pedaled with every bit of strength I had. As I approached him, I could almost feel his heavy breathing beside me. I passed Samuel smoothly, keeping my pace steady until I crossed the finish line. As soon as the race was over, I didn’t stop to celebrate. Instead, I turned back and ran alongside Samuel at a gentle pace, calling out words of encouragement again and again until he finally crossed the line.
Standing on the podium, I saw Samuel smiling at me in the crowd. There was no bitterness in his eyes, only pride. He nodded slightly, as if to say he understood my choice. I touched the chocolate bar still in my pocket and smiled back. When the medal was placed around my neck, my heart was filled with mixed feelings — joy for the result, but even more gratitude toward Samuel. I pulled him closer onto the podium and told the host that this moment belonged to both of us, for his persistence had pushed me to go further. The applause rose around us. I understood something clearly: the bond we had built through years of riding together mattered far more than any medal.

Bring the beauty of native birds into your home
with unique artwork by Pam McGrath
Australia and its offshore islands and territories have 898 recorded bird species as of 2014. Of the recorded birds, 165 are considered accidental visitors, of the remainder over 45% are classified as Australian endemics: found nowhere else on earth. It has been suggested that up to 10% of Australian bird species may go extinct by the year 2100 as a result of climate change.
Artist Pam McGrath expresses her lifetime concern for wildlife conservation through these paintings of Australian birds. While celebrating their beauty and diversity the birds are presented in abstract design with straight lines, rather than the delicate natural form, to suggest the challenges of their adaption to environmental change.

If there’s one sound which represents everything there is to fall in love with on safari (观兽旅行), it’s the roar of a lion at nightfall. I heard it one evening in the Qwabi Private Game Reserve, where the Waterberg mountains spread outward like an unfolding story.
We’d just watched a remarkable standoff: lionesses baring teeth and muscle to a dominant male who’d wandered too close. The roars came first, then a sudden, striking charge. Paws (爪子) flew and their breath hung in the air over the grasslands, before the male eventually turned and dropped to the ground in defeat. It was pure theatre, to which we had front-row seats.
The Waterberg is a place of quiet success. A UNESCO Biosphere Reserve since 2001, this 654,000-hectare region in Limpopo Province is one of South Africa’s best-kept safari secrets. It’s a region where conservation feels like a lived value. Thanks to collaboration between private reserves, landowners and anti-illegal hunting units, the region has recorded some of the lowest rhino (犀牛) illegal hunting statistics in the country.
Head guide Damien Fourie was extensive in his knowledge and boyishly excited about every sight and sound. After careful tracking, we came across a group of lions resting beneath a thorn tree, their bodies exposed only by the swinging of a tail. And when we spotted a two-week-old white rhino walking unsteadily beside its mother later on the drive, he was as thrilled as we were.
Still, even if you see nothing but sky and silence, the Waterberg delivers. On our final morning, after a night of rain, I skipped the game drive in favor of a coffee on the deck. I watched the steam rise as the morning sun warmed the valley. The end of my time in the bush came with no distant lion roars, no whispering packs, no newborn rhino. Not every safari needs a drumroll ending. Sometimes, a slow, misty morning and a quiet deck tick all the boxes.
4 What did the author witness about the lions?
A. Their playful race. B. Their staged show.
C. Their fierce conflict. D. Their hunting attempt.
5. What do the underlined words “a lived value” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. A theoretical principle. B. A widely spread belief.
C. A practically applied norm. D. A traditionally held concept.
6. Which of the following best describes Damien?
A. Calm and distant. B. Informed and passionate.
C. Energetic and creative. D. Disciplined and ambitious.
7. What does the author think of the safari?
A. It displayed racial harmony. B. It had an exciting ending.
C. It revealed why she loved nature. D. It satisfied what she could hope for.
C
Cities are not just visual landscapes — they are acoustic (声音的) environments. Yet for decades, urban planning has treated sound primarily as a disturbance to be blocked. Today, this mindset is shifting.
Long-term exposure to high noise increases stress, sleep disorders, and heart disease. Yet urban sounds are not necessarily negative. Researchers like Barry Truax and Murray Schafer pioneered the concept of the soundscape: listening to the total acoustic environment instead of measuring single sources of noise. Recent studies show that diverse sound environments — for example, combining birdsong, water features, or urban plants — can reduce stress levels compared to mono low-frequency noise.
How to shape a city that makes good sounds? Urban layout (布局) matters. Wide roads can bring down noise but may increase traffic speed, generating more sound. Good urban sound design may help avoid this. In Miami Beach, SoundScape Park combines landscape architecture with a special sound system to improve performance effect, showing how public space can use sound positively.
However, despite growing awareness, few city plans include sound as a core design factor. Cities like Paris and Zurich are beginning to change this by using noise maps in their city plans and requiring acoustic impact assessments for major construction. Integrating sound-sensitive criteria into planning policy ensures that sound comfort is considered with air quality, light, and mobility.
New technologies are also helping us shape a better soundscape. Acoustic sensors and AI-powered noise mapping tools can track real-time sound conditions and mobile apps enable citizens to report pleasant or disturbing soundscapes, encouraging shared sound management.
Urban sound design must go beyond noise control. City planners, architects, and local communities should co-create spaces that sound as good as they look. Good urban soundscapes remind us that cities are not silent — they are meant to be heard.
8. What was the problem with past city planning?
A. Undervaluing the role of sound. B. Focusing on diverse environments.
C. Ignoring the management of noise. D. Designing poor urban soundscapes.
9. What can we learn about urban soundscapes from paragraph 2?
A. All urban sounds are harmful to people’s physical health.
B. Multiple acoustic environments benefit people’s mental health.
C. The concept of soundscape focuses on measuring single noise sources.
D. Long-term exposure to any noise will cause heart disease and sleep problems.
10. Which of the following contributes to a better soundscape?
A. Having urban roads expanded.
B. Inspiring joint sound-shaping efforts.
C. Maximizing control of individual noise.
D. Improving urban air quality and mobility.
11. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A. Urban sound design comes first.
B Noise control is no longer necessary.
C. Cities’ soundscape improves its appearance.
D. Soundscape design should be taken seriously.
D
You’ve probably encountered images in your social media feeds that look like a cross between photographs and computer-generated graphics. Some are imaginative and some are believable at a quick look — remember the little girl carrying a little dog in a boat during a flood? These are examples of AI slop (垃圾), low-to mid-quality content — video, images, audio, text or a mix — created with AI tools, often with little regard for accuracy. It’s fast, easy and inexpensive to make this content. AI slop producers typically place it on social media to employ the economics of attention on the Internet, displacing higher-quality material that could be more helpful.
AI slop has been increasing over the past few years. As the term “slop” indicates, that’s generally not good for people using the Internet. The Guardian published an analysis in July 2025 examining how AI slop is taking over YouTube’s fastest-growing channels. The journalists found that nine out of the top 100 fastest-growing channels feature AI-generated content. In many cases, people post AI slop that’s just good enough to attract and keep users’ attention, allowing them to profit from platforms that monetize (变现) streaming and view-based content.
The ease of generating content with AI enables people to post low-quality articles to publications. Clarkesworld, an online science fiction magazine that accepts user posts and pays contributors, stopped taking new posts in 2024 because of the flood of AI-generated writing it was getting.
AI slop also harms artists by causing job and financial losses and crowding out content made by real creators. The placement of this lower-quality AI-generated content is often not distinguished by the algorithms (算法) that drive social media consumption, and it displaces entire classes of creators who previously made their livelihood from online content.
Wherever it’s enabled, you can flag content that’s harmful or problematic. On some platforms, you can add community notes to the content to provide context. For harmful content, you can try to report it. Along with forcing us to be on guard for “inauthentic” social media accounts, AI is now leading to piles of rubbish degrading our media environment.
12. Why do producers create AI slop according to Paragraph 1?
A. To replace professional materials.
B. To improve artistic expression globally.
C. To use Internet attention economies for profit.
D. To educate Internet users about new technologies.
13. What can we infer from Clarkesworld’s action in 2024?
A. Science fiction became less popular.
B. Poor AI content flooded their system.
C. Their subscriber base doubled unexpectedly.
D. They began paying higher fees for human writers.
14. What should individuals do regarding the rise of AI slop?
A. Stop using AI-generated content.
B. Avoid engaging with social media platforms.
C. Rely on algorithms to screen out low-quality content.
D. Take action by marking harmful AI-generated content.
15. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. AI Slop: A New Form of Art
B. The Positive Effects of AI on Media
C. The Role of Social Media in Promoting AI Slop
D. AI Slop: The Growing Threat to Online Content

I love thinking about teams. I love thinking about how to create an environment that will make a group of people want to be on the team. I love considering the best ways to build a great team.
Here is one of my favorite team concepts: the sign of a great team is not the absence of conflict. Rather, the sign of a great team is the ability to resolve conflict. ____16____ But our ability to consistently resolve that conflict impacts the kind of team we have more than any other variable. If we learn how to resolve the conflict, the team will be together for very long.
Now, the “how” is the hardest part of conflict resolution. ____17____ But in my experience, the key aspect of consistent conflict resolution comes down to listening and respect. When we listen to each other and respect the opposing perspective (视角), we can have reasonable dialogue. ____18____
That we listen to and respect other perspectives does not mean we always have to agree. ____19____ That's fine. But simple listening skills and demonstrations of respect are at the heart of consistent and reasonable conflict resolution.
Great teams are not on the same page all the time. ____20____ So when you are trying to build a great team or when you think you have one and want to keep it great, spend some time thinking about how you will handle those difficult moments when the team is not on the same page.
A. We can still agree to disagree.
B. But great teams know how to get there.
C. The best relationships take time and effort.
D. It is always complex and often requires multiple steps.
E. Then we are likely to be on our way to eventual resolution.
F. People on a team often work together towards a common goal.
G. That is because even the best teams unavoidable have conflict.

47. 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。
In the final stage of the cycling race, with only 300 meters left, I was riding just behind my teammate Samuel.
We had trained together since freshman year at Seaside High. Every morning, we rode along the coast, breathing in salty air and pushing each other to go faster. We took turns leading the way, pushing each other to keep the pace, especially on long uphill roads. When one of us felt tired, the other would stay close and keep going. Over the years, Samuel and I had always treated every ride seriously.
Suddenly, Samuel’s tire blew out with a loud sound. Without stopping or looking back for help, he lifted his bike onto his shoulder and began to run toward the finish line, determined to complete the race properly. His steps were heavy, but he kept moving forward. From behind, I could clearly see how hard he was trying.
As I rode, many memories came back to me: a rainy day when we pushed our bikes through deep mud and refused to give up; a quiet night sitting on the river bank when we shared one orange and talked about racing abroad one day; and the chocolate bar he had secretly put into my pocket this morning, with “For luck” written on it.
I knew that with just a little more effort, I could pass Samuel and move ahead — to the podium spot (领奖台) we’d both been chasing. The thought was simple and clear, and my body was ready to act. But at the same time, my heart hesitated. Years of training, shared struggles, and long friendship suddenly weighed on my mind. Right then and there, almost like waking up from a dream, I reminded myself why I was here. With that in mind, I steadied my breathing as the finish line drew closer.

So I did what I felt right.

Standing on the podium, I saw Samuel smiling at me in the crowd.
