When WIll Fall Leaves Peak For You? -Late September or Early October:The Rockies,the northem parts of Minnesota through Michigan and a stretch from upstate New York to northern New England see peak color first. -Mid to Late October:Potential for peak fall color advances through the Midwest into the Appalachians and much of the Northeast in mid to late October.Most other areas in the western region,including valleys,see fall's brightest color by this time of year as well. -November:Much of the mid-Atlantic coast and the South are the last holdouts to see peak color in November. Why Do Leaves Change Color? A shorter amount of daylight is the primary factor for the color of the leaves to begin to change.As nights grow longer and cooler,production of the green pigment()slows and eventually stops.This allows the yellow and orange pigments to shine through,revealing the many beautiful colors of fall. What Makes A Good Colorful Season? Location matters: Weather's role: Higher altitudes and northern latitudes cool The perfect recipe includes warm,sunny days first,causing earlier color changes. paired with cool nighttime temperatures. Soil moisture(湿度)： Wind warning: Sufficient soil moisture through spring and If a strong windstorm affects an area that's near summer can help increase the chances of the peak color,then it can tear off leaves from trees to colorful leaves some extent,reducing the display of peak color. So grab your camera,plan your trip,and get ready for nature's colorful delight! 21.When can you enjoy peak fall color in valleys of the western region? A.Late September.B.Early October. C.Late October. D.Mid November. 22.What mainly causes the change of leaf colors? A.Rainy nights in autumn. B.Reduced daylight hours. C.Uncovered pigments. D.Rising temperature. 23.What may ruin the full display of peak color? A.The wet soil. B.The tree species. C.The hot summer. D.The severe storm. B When James Shapland spotted a gap in the market for a dog-friendly cafe that was half-way between a tiny, 英语试卷第3页共10页 trendy coffee shop and a large chain,he started one himself,Coffi Lab-coffi is Welsh for coffee and the lab refers to Labradors (a breed of dog). It's not his first try in coffee shops.He sold his first business,Coffee #1,in 2011 for about E10 million to SA Brain,the Welsh brewer.However,he missed his business after the sale.He spent 2017 on a plan for a sourdough cafe,inspired by the success of the pizza chain Franco Manca,but shelved the idea because"the market secmed a little too good to be true". In 2020,he sensed an unmet need for cafes that had enough"space to take my labrador in".His plan was to open coffee shops big enough for dogs and their owners,with friendly staff selling good food and coffee.Coffi Lab also donates the profits from the homemade dog biscuits it sells,plus first-day takings from each store it opens.So far,it has raised more than E100,000 for Guide Dogs charity and sponsored 11 dogs in training. Coffi Lab now has 11 sites,with number 12 opening soon in Pontcanna,and three more over the next year in Wiltshire and Shropshire,all within 100 miles from its base in Cardiff."I feel quite strongly about being able to visit frequently,so it's not going to become a one-a-week blind expansion,"he said. Coffi Lab began doing its own baking in 2023,when Shapland decided that buying in pre-packaged baked goods and sandwiches wouldn't keep customers coming back."When you do that,you end up with average food that you're selling for f5 and it's not what people want"-especially when they are paying 4 for a coffee. 24.What sets Coffi Lab apart in the first two paragraphs? A.A middle-positioned cafe concept B.A sourdough cafe plan C.A former Coffee #1 brand D.A pizza-chain model 25.What does Coffi Lab do besides serving food and coffee? A.Provide dog training sessions B.Run a dog welfare foundation. C.Donate dog biscuits to charity. D.Fund a dog charitable organization 26 Which word best describes Shapland's business approach? A.Thoughtless. B.Strategic. C.Idealistic. D.Careful. 27.What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean? A.Coffee prices have been rising. B.Food shouldn't cost more than coffee. C.Food and coffee should be priced reasonably. D.Customers expect better food for their money. C For its prey(猎物)，a cone snail is a deadly threat---its tiny size hides enough venom(毒液)in one sting to kill.Surprisingly,that same venom may also have medical value,especially in helping people sleep. Previous research has shown that toxins from cone snails can be used as painkillers.Recently,Indian scientists Jayaseelan B.Franklin and R.P.Rajesh discovered that some of these toxins may also cause sleep. They studied a rarely researched species,the cobweb cone snail(Conus araneosus),which lives in the Gulf of 英语试卷第4页共10页 Mannar,and searched its venom for useful compounds. Cone snail venom contains hundreds of small molecules called peptides ()known as conotoxins( )Franklin and Rajesh isolated 14 peptides and selected five for further study.After the substances were purified,they were given to lab mice.The results were fast and surprising:within two to four minutes, the mice fell asleep and remained so for about two hours.Higher doses led to longer sleep.According to Franklin,the mice only fully returned to normal activity after nine or ten hours. These findings are important because they suggest possible treatments for human sleep problems such as insomnia and sleep apnea."Finding the mechanism that caused this effect on the mice will open up future applications including drug development,"says Franklin. Cone snails hunt slowly but rely on powerful toxins to stop prey instantly.Their venom is delivered through a harpoon-like tooth that blocks normal cellular function,leaving the victim unable to move.Scientists have long been interested in cone snail venom,and over 100 conotoxins are currently being tested for treating diseases including cancer pain,epilepsy,and Parkinson's disease.In 2004,a cone snail-based painkiller stronger than morphine was approved for medical use. With around 800 cone snail species,each producing hundreds of unique peptides,researchers believe there is still much to discover. 28.What is the most important conclusion about cone snails drawn from the passage? A.They hunt swiftly with harpoon-like teeth. B.They produce venom with multiple effects. C.They are dangerous to humans. D.Their toxins work in only one way 29.Which statement is NOT supported by the research? A.The effect was tested on mice B.Higher doses caused longer sleep C.The venom works in humans D.More research is still needed. 30.What can be inferred about future research? A.Most cone snails are dangerous B.Venom studies are nearly complete. C.Many useful peptides remain unknown. D.Sleep drugs will appear soon. 31.What might be the best title for the passage? A.A New Discovery of Cone Snail Venom B.How Cone Snails Hunt Prey Efficiently C.The Development of Cone Snail-Based Drugs D.Sleepless?Cone Snail Venom Offers New Hope D Gen Z is changing the rules of work,and the results are redefining what professional success looks like in 2025.According to a new Glassdoor report,"career minimalism"is at the heart of this shift. 英语试卷第5页共10页 In Glassdoor's survey of more than 1,000 U.S.professionals,a striking 68%of Gen Z respondents said they wouldn't pursue management if it weren't for paycheck or title,signaling a rejection of the traditional corporate climb favored by previous generations and a belief that management is something of a poisonous chalice(圣杯. The survey,however,is somewhat at odds with other data collected by Glassdoor.Daniel Zhao,chief economist for the company,told Fortune that an earlier report had found Gen Z entering the ranks of management at the same rates as older generations did."Management is not for everybody,and that's okay," he said,"but it is still scen as the best path for climbing the career ladder." What the new survey suggests is that management is now seen as a career-ladder move,not something good in its own right.Gen Z approaches life's traditional milestones with"reasoned skepticism".They are hungry for coaching and welcome in-office collaboration yet also desire the death of the nine-to-five mentality and embrace flexibility. If Gen Z isn't less ambitious yet isn't thrilled about corporate management,where's that energy going? The report cited Harris Poll findings that 57%of Gen Z currently have a side hustle (compared to 48% of millennials and 31%of Gen Xers. Side bustles are central to Gen Z's identity,offering creative or activist outlets that main jobs cannot supply.For many,the "day job"simply finances the "passion project"-as one Glassdoor community member put it:"I always joke that I don't dream of labor...If people were truly passionate about their job,it wouldn't pay anything.Passion is for your five-nine after the nine-five." When Gen Zers do move into management,Glassdoor finds that they're rewriting the traditional playbook.Gen Z is reconsidering what it means to be successful at work in this moment.They're not rejecting ambition-they're redirecting it toward sustainable career paths that prioritize both financial security and personal fulfillment. 32.Why is Daniel Zhao quoted in paragraph 3? A.To draw attention to a new concept. B.To confirm the accuracy of the report. C.To raise awareness of a worrying trend. D.To offer another perspective on the survey. 33.What do we know about Gen Z at work? A.They value titles over personal time. B.They avoid cooperating with colleagues. C.They seek guidance from senior staff. D.They prefer fixed nine-to-five hours. 34.What factors may Gen Z consider in side hustles? A.High pay and grand titles. B.Short hours and easy work. C.Personal identity and flexibility. D.Benefits and working conditions. 35.What is the professional success defined by Gen Z? 英语试卷第6页共10页 A.Earning money with meaning. B.Winning power through effort. C.Dropping promotion for hobbies. D.Staying put for financial security. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，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。 A Song for Love-An Ape with an App Two wild apes have a professor and a pop star to act as high-tech matchmakers ()!36 Our young would-be lovers are Skywalker Gibbons(天行者长臂狓)，a new ape species announced in2Ol7.With only a handful left in the Gaoligong Mountains on the China-Myanmar border,every couple matters. Singing is central to a gibbon's life,and their calls can travel for miles.Deep in the jungle,a lone female sings each morning,in the hope of winning a life-long partner.A single male lives twenty miles away-but they can't find each other over the long distance.37 Without help,they may never find each other. That help comes from an unlikely duo:Beijing pop star Xingyu Lee and Professor Fan,leader of the research team on Skywalker Gibbons.They have designed and built a system of microphones and speakers that link two locations across the jungle.38 In human terms,they have an effective dating app-and it has the gibbon scientists of the world buzzing. Professor Fan is determined to make an all-wild match._39_They duet(二重唱)，and as one gibbon searches for the other,drawn by the songs,Fan and Lee move the speakers,and guide the gibbons through the jungle maze until they are within natural earshot. _40 The landscape is steep,and the equipment must be moved again and again to guide the singers closer.Scientists like Fan works with local villagers,even poachers and city engineers to keep the system running in the wild.The project becomes a rare partnership between people who once lived off the forest and those who now seek to save it. Thanks to a dating app and a wild love song down the telephone,the two Skywalker Gibbons are now about to meet-a match that could determine the future of a species. A.Still,many challenges remain. B.For the first time,wild gibbons can sing together. C.Professor Fan has spent many years studying rare apes. D.In a first attempt,he connects a wild pair by telephone. E.It's a crisis for a rare species,and calls for an immediate solution. F.Despite the challenges,villagers and engineers work hand in hand.
