As a painter, embroiderer (刺绣师) and mixed-media artist, she has spent the past decade experimenting with the unique medium of honeycomb (蜂巢). In her latest collection, Roth employs the help of local honeybees to create amazing pieces that perfectly represent the co-existence of human beings and nature. Her works combine various man-made materials with the complex pattern of a raw honeycomb. During the cooperation, Roth's part of work comes in the form of art picture hung in embroidery circles. Using her mastery of embroidery techniques, she creates designs with thread and locally found materials, such as wood, plants and horsehair. After she arranges these elements to her liking, Roth then attaches the circle to beekeeping frames and places it in a bee box. Over time, thousands of bees fill the frame with honeycomb, changing the piece into its final, fascinating form. The artistic cooperation between the honeybees and Roth's creativity results in a unique and original work of art. Her direct cooperation with bees is just one aspect of her work. Roth also uses honeycomb in other collections like sewn paintings, embroidery, and works on paper. In her work, Roth integrates the theme of the human relationship to the natural world, reflecting on how people shape nature to meet their needs and imaging a more beautiful outcome of our encounter. Nowadays honeybee populations have been facing a growing decline worldwide, caused by factors such as climate change, habitat loss and pesticides.

However, effective and healthy agricultural practices rely on a lot of new technologies. Farmers need information from the field to keep their crops growing well. VTT, a Finnish technical research center, has created a solar- powered battery cell that can power agricultural sensors and then break down naturally into the soil. The device was developed by an international team from six different scientific institutions, with the cell about the size of a credit card.Its light design ensures that it can be put on the plant. Most importantly, the cell simply breaks down in just weeks or months. When a solar cell is used in an agricultural application, biodegradability is important. There is no real harm caused if the cell cannot be removed from the field, even if it is in close contact with the soil.And there are no harmful things to go into the environment. The solar cells can be extremely helpful to farmers in the European Union (EU), where rules require them to regularly check the nutrients in their soil. But it is not only EU agriculture that benefits from these tiny power cells. The cells can provide a lot of advantages for farmers everywhere. For instance, they allow for more accurate data collection, which may make it possible to prevent a problem before it really starts.They support environmental sustainability by being degradable. They can also help increase agricultural output. The better the data a farmer has, the more easily they can adjust various factors leading to greater productivity. Though technology seems to be changing faster than ever, it can also bring positive change. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 VTT's solar cells use innovative technology that has the potential to improve how farmers work, and contribute to a world that is more sustainable. healthier, and better fed. 28. What makes the solar cells special? A. They can last for a long time. B. They are environmentally friendly. C. They can be used like a credit card. D. They will cut down the cost of agricultural sensors. 29. What are farmers in the EU required to do? A. Check plant growth all the time. B. Monitor soil nutrient levels regularly. C. Keep a close eye on weather conditions. D. Apply solar energy to agricultural production. 30. How can the new technology benefit farmers worldwide? A. By helping them get a better harvest. B. By ensuring them more solar energy. C. By freeing them from heavy farm work. D. By providing them with farming skills. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. The Application of Agricultural Sensors B. Solar Cells Contribute to Sustainable Farming C. Challenges Faced by Agricultural Development D. Effective Farming Practices across the European Union D In an age of endless scrolling and bite-sized information, the practice of“deep reading” the immersive, focused engagement with a complex text—— is facing a real challenge. As Nicholas Carr argues in The Shallows, the Internet is reshaping our brains, promoting quick scanning rather than deep concentration. This shift, he warns, comes at a cost of our ability in deep thought and comprehension. Neurological studies support this concern. Deep reading activates specific brain regions linked to language, memory and empathy. It's a slow, demanding process that builds rich mental models and develops critical thinking. In contrast, the scattered (零散的), online reading often keeps us at a surface level, training the brain for rapid decision-making about what to click next rather than for thoughtful analysis. However, the situation is not hopeless. The goal is not to reject digital tools, but to cultivate balanced reading habits. Educational technologists point out that digital platforms can also support 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 deep reading when used intentionally. Features like annotation tools, keyword search, and access to vast online libraries can enhance understanding if we consciously resist the pull of distraction. The key lies in mindfulness. Just as we schedule time for physical exercise, we must intentionally plan periods for uninterrupted reading. This might mean setting aside the smartphone and picking up a physical book, or using app blockers to create a distraction-free digital space while reading longer articles. The goal is to regain control over our attention, training our minds to stay with a text without the urge to constantly switch tasks. Ultimately, deep reading is not merely a skill for academics; it's a vital exercise for the mind in a world of short attention span. It strengthens our ability to think critically, empathize with others,and handle complex ideas—— capacities that are more crucial than ever in the 21st century. 32. What is the main concern raised in the first paragraph? A. The rising cost of deep thought. B. The negative influence of social media. C. The poor quality of online information. D. The decline of the deep reading ability. 33. What does the neurological research mentioned in paragraph 2 show? A. Deep reading is a slow and effortless process. B. Scattered reading is essential for thoughtful analysis. C. Different reading styles activate the brain differently. D. Online reading can improve all decision-making skills. 34. What does the underlined word“mindfulness” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. The ability to remember details. B. The method of using digital tools. C. The technique of reading faster. D. The conscious practice to focus. 35. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To introduce the latest digital reading platforms. B. To criticize the shallowness of online information. To advocate the value and practice of deep reading. D. To compare the effects of reading on paper and on screen. 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Investing in Yourself Figuring out how to invest your money can be a difficult task.

They d spent years swimming together, whispering secrets during sleepovers, and communicating through shared smiles. They had also cycled along the countryside lanes, feeling the gentle wind on their faces and enjoying the beautiful scenery. However, high school life brought unexpected changes. Emma, always the social butterfly, started joining lunch tables filled with loud cheerleaders.Maya, quiet and artistic, watched their inside jokes and dances with growing unease.“It's just a stage,” Maya comforted herself. Yet by winter, the messages between them became fewer and fewer. The breaking point came at Emma's sweet sixteen party. Maya arrived wearing the matching star bracelet (手链) they'd bought last summer, only to find Emma surrounded by her new friends.When Maya tried showing her latest sketchbook (素描本)—— their tradition to celebrate their bond by painting—— Emma glanced at her phone and said“Cool” before leaving. That night, Maya left early,the bracelet breaking and dropping in her hurry. For months, they moved through school like strangers. While Emma's laughter echoed through hallways, Maya found comfort in the art room, painting stormy skies over their favorite lake. Then one rainy April afternoon, Maya's phone lit up:“Found our treasure box under my dresser. Meet at the café tomorrow?” Attached was a photo of her half of their friendship bracelet, faded but repaired. Maya's fingers wandered on the reply. Through her bedroom window, she watched raindrops race down the glass like tears and she finally typed“4 p.m. Our usual spot.” 注意： (1)续写词数应为100左右； (2)请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next day, they met at their favorite café by the lake. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
