Harold Simmons never intended to become a neighborhood legend (传奇). At 73, he was just a retired worker with too much time and an empty backyard. What started as a simple garden railroad project quickly became something extraordinary.
It began with a single circular track and an old steam engine he’d rescued from a sale. Each day, he would add tiny details — a tiny general store, a little church and some handcrafted trees. The neighborhood children would sometimes look over the fence, their eyes wide with wonder.
One particularly curious 10-year-old named Maya started visiting regularly after school. Her working parents appreciated that Harold didn’t mind her watching him work. He’d explain each tiny detail. Word spread. Neighbors who had previously just waved politely stopped to admire Harold’s growing landscape. Children brought their parents. Retired workers shared stories about the real trains and towns the models represented.
When the local elementary school heard about Harold’s project, they asked if he’d be willing to host a field trip. Harold was surprised. Suddenly, classrooms of children were learning history, engineering, and creativity through his tiny railroad.
Maya convinced her uncle to create a website showing Harold’s railroad. It went popular locally and then regionally. People started sending him miniature (微型的) pieces like a tiny water tower from Wisconsin. Soon the railroad became a living history museum, a classroom, and a gathering place.
On weekends, Harold would let children control the trains, their small hands carefully managing the controllers and their faces lit with pure joy. Some parents noticed their kids were learning patience, precision, and storytelling through this simple hobby.
By the time Harold turned 80, his backyard had become a community landmark. Local schools included visits into their curriculum (课程). retirement homes organized group trips. Artists and historians turned to him. The tiny tracks became something magical, showing how passion, creativity, and openness could build connections far bigger than anyone could imagine.
4. Why did Harold start building the garden railroad?
A. To kill his spare time. B. To host field trips.
C. To train local children. D. To become famous.
5. What was the neighbors’ attitude toward Harold’s project?
A. Critical. B. Negative. C. Appreciative. D. Uncertain.
6. Why did Harold’s project attract the local elementary school?
A. It included a new steam engine. B. It had an educative value.
C. It was praised on a website. D. It was a garden programme.
7. What lesson can we learn from the story?
A. One is never too old to learn.
B. Many hands make light work.
C. Education knows no boundaries.
D. Small things make a big difference.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. D

As artificial intelligence (AI) takes off, how do we efficiently integrate it into our lives and our work? Bridging the gap between promise and practice, Jann Spiess, an associate professor at Stanford Graduate School of Business, is exploring how algorithms (算法) can be designed to most effectively support — rather than replace — human decision makers.
“We don’t have much work — yet — that takes design of the human-AI interface really seriously, ” says Spiess. “Our debate about AI and the capabilities of AI is really misplaced, because it's all about ‘Is AI better than the human?’ ”, he continues. “I think instead we should be asking, ‘What are the complementary (互补的) uses of AI?’ ”
If users rely too heavily on an algorithm, they may ignore relevant context or information the algorithm may not know. On the other hand, if users view recommendations as overly complex or irrelevant, they may dismiss them altogether, forgoing any advantages algorithmic recommendations may provide.
“Therefore, the best algorithm should take into account how a human will interact with the information it provides,” Spiess says. In a recent paper, Spiess outlines a conceptual (概念的) design framework modeling how humans respond to algorithmic recommendations — and presents a different approach to building AI tools. This approach is known as complementarity.
The researchers tested different recommendation strategies in an experiment, where participants made 25 hiring decisions with different levels of algorithmic assistance. People using a complementary algorithm — which offered selective recommendations in cases where a human was likely to be uncertain or incorrect — made the most accurate decisions, outperforming those using a purely predictive algorithm and those using no algorithmic support.
It’s an encouraging result. “There’s much promise around AI improving decisions, ” says Spiess, who’s particularly interested in applications that affect how services are allocated (分配) in resource-limited environments, such as placing teachers in underserved school districts with limited budgets. “If you could use algorithms to improve resource allocation, there are many high-value use cases in areas where we don’t have ready or clear solutions,” he says.
8. What is the main issue with current AI debates according to Spiess?
A. Overemphasis on AI’s superiority. B. Ignoring the potential of AI.
C. Misunderstanding AI’s purpose. D. Lack of focus on AI’s efficiency.
9. What does the underlined word “forgoing” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Stressing. B. Abandoning. C. Admitting. D. Assessing.
10. What does Spiess think is the key to effective AI design?
A. Enhancing algorithm complexity. B. Reducing human dependence on AI.
C. Considering human-AI interaction. D. Improving AI's independent capability.
11. What does the experiment on hiring decisions show?
A. Predictive algorithms were the most helpful.
B. Human judgment alone was the most accurate.
C. No algorithmic support was completely the best.
D. Complementary algorithms were highly effective.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了斯坦福大学商学院副教授Jann Spiess对于AI设计的观点,即设计算法时应考虑如何有效支持人类决策者,强调人机互补,并通过实验验证了互补性算法在决策中的有效性。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Our debate about AI and the capabilities of AI is really misplaced, because it's all about ‘Is AI better than the human?’ (我们对人工智能及其能力的争论实际上是错位的,因为所有争论都是围绕‘人工智能是否比人类更好?’展开的)”可知,Spiess认为当前关于AI的争论过于强调AI是否优于人类,即过分强调了AI的优越性,而忽略了人机互补的可能性。故选A项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“On the other hand, if users view recommendations as overly complex or irrelevant, they may dismiss them altogether, forgoing any advantages algorithmic recommendations may provide. (另一方面,如果用户认为推荐过于复杂或不相关,他们可能会完全忽略这些推荐,forgoing算法推荐可能提供的任何优势。)”可知,用户如果认为算法推荐复杂或不相关,就可能会完全忽略这些推荐,从而不利用算法推荐可能带来的任何优势。由此可知,forgoing在此处意为“放弃,不利用”,与abandoning意思相近。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Therefore, the best algorithm should take into account how a human will interact with the information it provides(因此,最好的算法应该考虑到人类将如何与其提供的信息进行交互)”可知,Spiess认为有效的AI设计的关键在于考虑人机交互,即算法应如何与人类互动以提供最有效的支持。故选C项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“People using a complementary algorithm — which offered selective recommendations in cases where a human was likely to be uncertain or incorrect — made the most accurate decisions, outperforming those using a purely predictive algorithm and those using no algorithmic support.(使用互补算法的人——在人类可能不确定或错误的情况下提供选择性建议——做出了最准确的决策,其表现优于使用纯预测算法的人和不使用算法支持的人。)”可知,实验表明,使用互补性算法的人在做出招聘决策时最为准确,其表现优于仅使用预测性算法的人和不使用算法支持的人。这证明了互补性算法在决策中的高度有效性。故选D项。
D
In Costa Rica, even small areas of tree cover can reduce the presence of invasive (入侵的) mosquito species known to spread diseases like dengue fever (登革热), according to a Stanford University-led study published on May 28th in Landscape Ecology. The findings can inform land use decisions and tree preservation strategies in rural areas, according to the researchers.
Using field observations and satellite data on land cover for an area of forests, farms, and residential areas in southern Costa Rica, the researchers found the presence of the Aedes albopictus mosquito, a dengue vector (媒介), decreased in areas with more tree cover while the total number of mosquito species increased. More species demand more space and resources, making it harder for an invasive species to find unoccupied space or resources.
Costa Rica has numerous mosquito-borne diseases and two invasive mosquito species serving as vectors. The forests surveyed in the study hosted a high diversity of mosquito species, none of which were the dengue vector Aedes albopictus. Residential areas, by contrast, had much fewer mosquito species and were far more likely to hold the invasive, disease-spreading species. Agricultural areas fell somewhere in between, with outcomes seemingly tied to the intensity and type of land use.
Natural habitats exist alongside agriculture and development in rural areas. In Costa Rica and beyond, these areas can provide pathways to conserving biodiversity. The study shows that protecting trees can help conserve biodiversity while also reducing the likelihood of disease spread. That’s good news in the face of warmer temperatures, changes in rainfall, and human activity that are enabling the spread of mosquito-borne illnesses to new places.
The researchers emphasize the need to do more research to understand how other vector species react to increased tree cover. “We need to know more about what drives dengue in rural areas,” said study senior author Erin Mordecai, associate professor of biology in Stanford University. “This work shows forests and tree cover can reduce risk, but identifying other land use types that sustain vector populations is the next frontier for controlling this rapidly expanding disease.”
12. How does increased tree cover prevent invasive mosquitoes?
A. By reducing dengue vectors.
B. By increasing species competition.
C. By upgrading human habitats.
D By ensuring agricultural outputs.
13. What can be known about residential areas?
A. They have lower mosquito diversity.
B. Their land use is more intensive.
C. Their living conditions are poor.
D. They host fewer disease risks.
14. What is the significance of the study?
A. It helps agricultural development.
B. It solves the problem of disease spread.
C. It offers a potential win-win strategy.
D. It leads to the study of climate patterns.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Mosquito-borne Disease Risks Increase
B. Protecting Trees Improves Life Quality
C. Disease-spreading Species Are Coming
D. Tree Cover Limits Invasive Mosquitoes
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要讲述了一项由斯坦福大学领导的研究,该研究发现即使在哥斯达黎加,小面积的树木覆盖也能减少传播登革热等疾病的入侵性蚊子物种的存在。研究结果可以为农村地区的土地利用决策和树木保护策略提供信息。文章还阐述了树木覆盖如何防止入侵蚊子,住宅区蚊子物种的情况,以及这项研究的重要意义。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“the researchers found the presence of the Aedes albopictus mosquito, a dengue vector (媒介), decreased in areas with more tree cover while the total number of mosquito species increased. More species demand more space and resources, making it harder for an invasive species to find unoccupied space or resources(研究人员发现,在树木覆盖较多的地区,作为登革热媒介的亚洲虎蚊的数量减少,而蚊子物种的总数增加。更多的物种需要更多的空间和资源,这使得入侵物种更难找到未被占用的空间或资源)”可知,增加的树木覆盖通过增加物种竞争来阻止入侵蚊子,因为更多的物种会争夺空间和资源,让入侵物种更难生存。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Residential areas, by contrast, had much fewer mosquito species and were far more likely to hold the invasive, disease-spreading species(相比之下,住宅区的蚊子物种要少得多,而且更有可能存在入侵性的、传播疾病的物种)”可知,住宅区的蚊子物种多样性较低。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“The study shows that protecting trees can help conserve biodiversity while also reducing the likelihood of disease spread(研究表明,保护树木有助于保护生物多样性,同时也能降低疾病传播的可能性)”以及第五段中“This work shows forests and tree cover can reduce risk, but identifying other land use types that sustain vector populations is the next frontier for controlling this rapidly expanding disease(这项工作表明,森林和树木覆盖可以降低风险,但确定其他维持媒介种群的土地利用类型是控制这种迅速扩散的疾病的下一个前沿领域)”可知,这项研究既保护了生物多样性,又降低了疾病传播的风险,可推理出这项研究提供了一个潜在的共赢策略,故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,并根据第一段中“In Costa Rica, even small areas of tree cover can reduce the presence of invasive (入侵的) mosquito species known to spread diseases like dengue fever (登革热), according to a Stanford University - led study published on May 28th in Landscape Ecology(根据斯坦福大学领导的一项研究,5月28日发表在《景观生态学》杂志上,在哥斯达黎加,即使是小面积的树木覆盖也能减少已知会传播登革热等疾病的入侵性蚊子物种的存在)”可知,文章主要围绕树木覆盖对入侵蚊子的限制作用展开,所以D项“Tree Cover Limits Invasive Mosquitoes(树木覆盖限制入侵蚊子)”适合作为文章标题。故选D项。

For the past five years, chef and author Samin Nosrat has been doing something that, for many can feel impossible. She’s kept up a weekly dinner with friends.
___16___. But over time, the dinner—held every Monday night for about 10 guests at a friend’s house—has become one of the most meaningful activities in all of their lives. At one point, a friend told her that the Monday dinner was her church.
Nosrat writes about the magic that holds her weekly dinners together and shares her all-time favorite dishes in Good Things: Recipes and Rituals to Share with People You Love. ___17___. Click here to jump to the recipes.
“The key to maintaining these dinners is to ritualize (仪式化) it.” writes Nosrat, who thinks the gatherings are less about the menu and more about eating and cooking together. “___18___. In other words, we have to avoid the guesswork of when and where your dinner will happen for the group. Choose the same day, time and location—and keep it. So everyone is familiar with the kitchen, the space and the pantry.”
There are a few kids in Nosrat’s dinner group, and she loves to get them in the kitchen. “Think about any step in the meal preparation that the kids can do themselves.” she suggests in the book. “___19___. So whatever it is, keep it simple. Otherwise, they will soon mess it up.”
She also offers various simple ways to make the occasion special: ___20___.
A. Weekly dinners are a team effort
B. First of all, we have to create familiarity
C. But cooking with kids can quickly get messy
D. At first, she thought her friends would be too busy for it
E. When kids help cook, they’re more likely to be curious about the meal

【16题详解】
根据后文“But over time, the dinner—held every Monday night for about 10 guests at a friend’s house—has become one of the most meaningful activities in all of their lives.(但随着时间的推移,每周一晚上在朋友家举行的约10位客人的晚宴已成为他们一生中最有意义的活动之一)”可知,空处和后文构成转折关系,所以D项“At first, she thought her friends would be too busy for it(起初,她认为她的朋友们会太忙而没有时间)”讲述刚开始时可能遇到的困难,和后文构成转折,符合文意。故选D项。
【17题详解】
根据前文“Nosrat writes about the magic that holds her weekly dinners together and shares her all-time favorite dishes in Good Things: Recipes and Rituals to Share with People You Love.(Nosrat在《好东西:与你爱的人分享的食谱和仪式》一书中写下了她每周一起吃饭的魔力,并分享了她一直以来最喜欢的菜肴)”以及后文“Click here to jump to the recipes.(点击这里跳转到食谱)”可知,此处是在介绍Nosrat分享的食谱,所以F项“Published in September, the book includes many recipes for group meals(这本书于今年9月出版,书中包含了许多集体用餐的食谱)”符合本段主题,承接前后文。故选F项。
【18题详解】
根据前文““The key to maintaining these dinners is to ritualize (仪式化) it.” writes Nosrat, who thinks the gatherings are less about the menu and more about eating and cooking together.(诺斯拉特写道:“维持这些晚餐的关键是将其仪式化。”她认为聚会的重点不在于菜单,而在于一起吃饭和做饭)”以及后文“In other words, we have to avoid the guesswork of when and where your dinner will happen for the group. Choose the same day, time and location—and keep it. So everyone is familiar with the kitchen, the space and the pantry.(换句话说,我们必须避免猜测你的晚餐将在何时何地举行。选择相同的日期、时间和地点,并坚持下去。所以每个人都熟悉厨房、空间和食品室)”可知,此处在讲述如何将晚餐仪式化,所以B项“First of all, we have to create familiarity(首先,我们必须创造熟悉感)”承接上文,后文是对本句的详细解释。故选B项。
【19题详解】
根据前文“There are a few kids in Nosrat’s dinner group, and she loves to get them in the kitchen. “Think about any step in the meal preparation that the kids can do themselves.” she suggests in the book.(Nosrat的晚餐小组里有几个孩子,她喜欢让他们进厨房。她在书中建议:“考虑一下孩子们可以自己做的任何准备饭菜的步骤。”)”可知,本段讲述晚餐中的孩子们,所以C项“But cooking with kids can quickly get messy(但是和孩子们一起做饭很快就会变得一团糟)”符合本段主题,并引出下文“So whatever it is, keep it simple. Otherwise, they will soon mess it up.(所以不管是什么,保持简单。否则,他们很快就会把事情搞砸)”。故选C项。
【20题详解】
根据前文“She also offers various simple ways to make the occasion special(她还提供了各种简单的方法让这个场合变得特别)”以及冒号可知,后文应是具体举例,所以G项“Send the kids out to pick flowers for the table or hold a brief ceremony before the meal(让孩子们出去采些花来装饰餐桌,或者在饭前举行一个简短的仪式)”符合文意。故选G项。

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。
Li Ming loved spending his summer holidays at his grandfather’s house by the sea. He liked looking for interesting shells and watching the seabirds fly.
One quiet afternoon, Li Ming was walking near some large rocks when he noticed something troubling. Plastic bottles, old fishing nets, and colorful bags were scattered across the sand. He had never paid much attention to this before, but today the mess seemed especially bad. As he bent down to pick up a broken bottle, he heard a soft, sad sound nearby. He looked carefully and saw a gray bird lying on the sand. Its leg was tangled (缠结) in an old fishing net. The bird was trying to escape, but every move seemed to make things worse. Suddenly, Li Ming understood: the trash (垃圾) he had just seen was not just ugly — it was dangerous.
Li Ming felt a strong wish to help. He slowly moved closer, but when he reached out his hand, the bird became very frightened and struggled wildly. Li Ming stepped back, worried and unsure.
Just then, he heard a kind voice behind him. “It needs careful help,” the voice said. Li Ming turned and saw an old man. Grandpa Chen, a retired fisherman, knelt down and opened his bag. He took out scissors and cloth, then gently covered the bird’s head to keep it calm. Slowly, he began to cut the net.
After several minutes, the net was cut. The bird stood up and flew into the blue sky. Li Ming felt a big smile on his face. He looked down at the broken net and some trash on the sand. Grandpa Chen said, “This beach is home to many creatures. Sadly, trash like this appears almost every day.”
Li Ming helped Grandpa Chen pick up the cut net and other plastic bags and bottles nearby. As they worked, Li Ming thought deeply. Saving one bird was wonderful, but the beach was very large, and the problem was very big.
注意:1.续写词数应150个左右;

From that day on, Li Ming decided to turn his worry into action.

Realizing that his and his neighbors’ power was limited, he thought of using the Internet to get more people to join in the protection.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文
From that day on, Li Ming decided to turn his worry into action. Every weekend, he would take a thick trash bag and walk to the messy beach, carefully picking up plastic bottles, broken fishing nets and all kinds of litter on the sand. Grandpa Chen next door often joined him, chatting and sharing warm stories of the clean and beautiful sea in the old days. Gradually, more neighbors noticed their efforts and came to help, making the beach cleanup a regular small activity in the community.
Realizing that his and his neighbors’ power was limited, he thought of using the Internet to get more people to join in the protection. He took photos of the polluted beach and the little bird he saved, writing a sincere appeal and posting them on social media. His post soon became popular, drawing many warm-hearted volunteers from nearby towns and villages. They organized regular monthly cleanups together and put up obvious warning signs to stop visitors from littering. By the end of summer, the beach had taken on a new clean look, and Li Ming truly understood that small kind efforts could make a huge difference to the world.

Harold Simmons never intended to become a neighborhood legend (传奇). At 73, he was just a retired worker with too much time and an empty backyard. What started as a simple garden railroad project quickly became something extraordinary.
It began with a single circular track and an old steam engine he’d rescued from a sale. Each day, he would add tiny details — a tiny general store, a little church and some handcrafted trees. The neighborhood children would sometimes look over the fence, their eyes wide with wonder.
One particularly curious 10-year-old named Maya started visiting regularly after school. Her working parents appreciated that Harold didn’t mind her watching him work. He’d explain each tiny detail. Word spread. Neighbors who had previously just waved politely stopped to admire Harold’s growing landscape. Children brought their parents. Retired workers shared stories about the real trains and towns the models represented.
When the local elementary school heard about Harold’s project, they asked if he’d be willing to host a field trip. Harold was surprised. Suddenly, classrooms of children were learning history, engineering, and creativity through his tiny railroad.
Maya convinced her uncle to create a website showing Harold’s railroad. It went popular locally and then regionally. People started sending him miniature (微型的) pieces like a tiny water tower from Wisconsin. Soon the railroad became a living history museum, a classroom, and a gathering place.
On weekends, Harold would let children control the trains, their small hands carefully managing the controllers and their faces lit with pure joy. Some parents noticed their kids were learning patience, precision, and storytelling through this simple hobby.
By the time Harold turned 80, his backyard had become a community landmark. Local schools included visits into their curriculum (课程). retirement homes organized group trips. Artists and historians turned to him. The tiny tracks became something magical, showing how passion, creativity, and openness could build connections far bigger than anyone could imagine.
4. Why did Harold start building the garden railroad?
A. To kill his spare time. B. To host field trips.
C. To train local children. D. To become famous.
5. What was the neighbors’ attitude toward Harold’s project?
A. Critical. B. Negative. C. Appreciative. D. Uncertain.
6. Why did Harold’s project attract the local elementary school?
A. It included a new steam engine. B. It had an educative value.
C. It was praised on a website. D. It was a garden programme.
7. What lesson can we learn from the story?
A. One is never too old to learn.
B. Many hands make light work.
C. Education knows no boundaries.
D. Small things make a big difference.
C
As artificial intelligence (AI) takes off, how do we efficiently integrate it into our lives and our work? Bridging the gap between promise and practice, Jann Spiess, an associate professor at Stanford Graduate School of Business, is exploring how algorithms (算法) can be designed to most effectively support — rather than replace — human decision makers.
“We don’t have much work — yet — that takes design of the human-AI interface really seriously, ” says Spiess. “Our debate about AI and the capabilities of AI is really misplaced, because it's all about ‘Is AI better than the human?’ ”, he continues. “I think instead we should be asking, ‘What are the complementary (互补的) uses of AI?’ ”
If users rely too heavily on an algorithm they may ignore relevant context or information the algorithm may not know. On the other hand, if users view recommendations as overly complex or irrelevant, they may dismiss them altogether, forgoing any advantages algorithmic recommendations may provide.
“Therefore, the best algorithm should take into account how a human will interact with the information it provides,” Spiess says. In a recent paper, Spiess outlines a conceptual (概念的) design framework modeling how humans respond to algorithmic recommendations — and presents a different approach to building AI tools. This approach is known as complementarity.
The researchers tested different recommendation strategies in an experiment, where participants made 25 hiring decisions with different levels of algorithmic assistance. People using a complementary algorithm — which offered selective recommendations in cases where a human was likely to be uncertain or incorrect — made the most accurate decisions, outperforming those using a purely predictive algorithm and those using no algorithmic support.
It’s an encouraging result. “There’s much promise around AI improving decisions, ” says Spiess, who’s particularly interested in applications that affect how services are allocated (分配) in resource-limited environments, such as placing teachers in underserved school districts with limited budgets. “If you could use algorithms to improve resource allocation, there are many high-value use cases in areas where we don’t have ready or clear solutions,” he says.
8. What is the main issue with current AI debates according to Spiess?
A. Overemphasis on AI’s superiority. B. Ignoring the potential of AI.
C. Misunderstanding AI’s purpose. D. Lack of focus on AI’s efficiency.
9. What does the underlined word “forgoing” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Stressing. B. Abandoning. C. Admitting. D. Assessing.
10. What does Spiess think is the key to effective AI design?
A. Enhancing algorithm complexity. B. Reducing human dependence on AI.
C. Considering human-AI interaction. D. Improving AI's independent capability.
11. What does the experiment on hiring decisions show?
A. Predictive algorithms were the most helpful.
B. Human judgment alone was the most accurate.
C. No algorithmic support was completely the best.
D. Complementary algorithms were highly effective.

In Costa Rica, even small areas of tree cover can reduce the presence of invasive (入侵的) mosquito species known to spread diseases like dengue fever (登革热), according to a Stanford University-led study published on May 28th in Landscape Ecology. The findings can inform land use decisions and tree preservation strategies in rural areas, according to the researchers.
Using field observations and satellite data on land cover for an area of forests, farms, and residential areas in southern Costa Rica, the researchers found the presence of the Aedes albopictus mosquito, a dengue vector (媒介), decreased in areas with more tree cover while the total number of mosquito species increased. More species demand more space and resources, making it harder for an invasive species to find unoccupied space or resources.
Costa Rica has numerous mosquito-borne diseases and two invasive mosquito species serving as vectors. The forests surveyed in the study hosted a high diversity of mosquito species, none of which were the dengue vector Aedes albopictus. Residential areas, by contrast, had much fewer mosquito species and were far more likely to hold the invasive, disease-spreading species. Agricultural areas fell somewhere in between, with outcomes seemingly tied to the intensity and type of land use.
Natural habitats exist alongside agriculture and development in rural areas. In Costa Rica and beyond, these areas can provide pathways to conserving biodiversity. The study shows that protecting trees can help conserve biodiversity while also reducing the likelihood of disease spread. That’s good news in the face of warmer temperatures, changes in rainfall, and human activity that are enabling the spread of mosquito-borne illnesses to new places.
The researchers emphasize the need to do more research to understand how other vector species react to increased tree cover. “We need to know more about what drives dengue in rural areas,” said study senior author Erin Mordecai, associate professor of biology in Stanford University. “This work shows forests and tree cover can reduce risk, but identifying other land use types that sustain vector populations is the next frontier for controlling this rapidly expanding disease.”
12. How does increased tree cover prevent invasive mosquitoes?
A. By reducing dengue vectors.
B. By increasing species competition.
C. By upgrading human habitats.
D. By ensuring agricultural outputs.
13. What can be known about residential areas?
A. They have lower mosquito diversity.
B. Their land use is more intensive.
C. Their living conditions are poor.
D. They host fewer disease risks.
14. What is the significance of the study?
A. It helps agricultural development.
B. It solves the problem of disease spread.
C. It offers a potential win-win strategy.
D. It leads to the study of climate patterns.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Mosquito-borne Disease Risks Increase
B. Protecting Trees Improves Life Quality
C. Disease-spreading Species Are Coming
D. Tree Cover Limits Invasive Mosquitoes

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。
Li Ming loved spending his summer holidays at his grandfather’s house by the sea. He liked looking for interesting shells and watching the seabirds fly.
One quiet afternoon, Li Ming was walking near some large rocks when he noticed something troubling. Plastic bottles, old fishing nets, and colorful bags were scattered across the sand. He had never paid much attention to this before, but today the mess seemed especially bad. As he bent down to pick up a broken bottle, he heard a soft, sad sound nearby. He looked carefully and saw a gray bird lying on the sand. Its leg was tangled (缠结) in an old fishing net. The bird was trying to escape, but every move seemed to make things worse. Suddenly, Li Ming understood: the trash (垃圾) he had just seen was not just ugly — it was dangerous.
Li Ming felt a strong wish to help. He slowly moved closer, but when he reached out his hand, the bird became very frightened and struggled wildly. Li Ming stepped back, worried and unsure.
Just then, he heard a kind voice behind him. “It needs careful help,” the voice said. Li Ming turned and saw an old man. Grandpa Chen, a retired fisherman, knelt down and opened his bag. He took out scissors and cloth, then gently covered the bird’s head to keep it calm. Slowly, he began to cut the net.
After several minutes, the net was cut. The bird stood up and flew into the blue sky. Li Ming felt a big smile on his face. He looked down at the broken net and some trash on the sand. Grandpa Chen said, “This beach is home to many creatures. Sadly, trash like this appears almost every day.”
Li Ming helped Grandpa Chen pick up the cut net and other plastic bags and bottles nearby. As they worked, Li Ming thought deeply. Saving one bird was wonderful, but the beach was very large, and the problem was very big.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
From that day on, Li Ming decided to turn his worry into action.
