B In the age of online advocacy,Shailene Woodley knows well the possible problems of celebrity public welfare.So in 2019,when Greenpeace asked her to join a trip to collect microplastics in the Sargasso Sea,she expressed her worries clearly before agreeing to take part. "This can't just be a one-time event:taking beautiful photos and posting them on social media to attract attention,"she said seriously.Instead,she wanted to know Greenpeace's specific plans in detail,for she firmly believes that she should put her time and energy into things she can really change. As a famous actress having played many popular roles in films and TV shows,Woodley has devoted considerable efforts to practical environmental protection.She has actively joined various Greenpeace's activities and spoken publicly to support an important UN ocean protection agreement.Skillfully employing her acting experience in environmental documentaries and on social media,she has helped spread environmental awareness effectively.Besides,she has participated in grassroots environmental activities in her busy acting career to protect local natural resources. For over a decade,Woodley has been determined to make real and practical changes rather than just take photos for show.As a Greenpeace ocean ambassador,she worked hard day and night to help pass the High Seas Treaty ()which aims to protect international marine areas and improve marine biodiversity.While filming in South Africa,she helped push for expanding protected marine areas from 5 to 10 percent. 第3页（共8页） Documentaries have also helped her spread the message.In 2024,she appeared in PBS's Hope in the Water about overfishing and alternative seafood options,which led to increased sales of sustainable seafood products. Whether on the ground or on camera,Woodley avoids anger.Instead,she appeals to people on a more fundamental level."If somebody is not familiar with who I am or my work,then I sit there,explaining it to them from a very human-based place,"she says."We're in this room together.So how do we create a solution?" 24.What worried Woodley about the Greenpeace trip in 2019?

In recent years,the Canaries have experienced significant desertification,impacting the rich forests that once grew well.Environmentalist Gustavo Viera shared insights on this issue,noting the loss of forested areas due to agricultural expansion.He also highlighted the profound effects of climate change,which led to destructive fires in 2007 and 2009 that affected regions typically nourished by moisture(潮气). Viera,serving as the technical director of Life Nieblas-a remarkable public initiative focused on innovative water collection,has led efforts in a fascinating technique known as "cloud- milking".This sustainable method uses the power of nature by using metal nets to gather small water drops from low-hanging fog,requiring no energy to operate."Our goal was to address the delicate nature of the nets while ensuring we protect the environment,"Viera explained. The team developed a system inspired by pine needles,which excel at capturing water while allowing air to flow freely.This approach is not only effective but also easily transportable and adaptable to various locations in need. As fog drifts through the metal leaves,water drops collect and gently fall into containers below.The dedicated workers of Life Nieblas then use this precious water to grow young trees, playing a vital role in reforesting the area."The Canaries are the ideal setting for developing these techniques,"remarked Vicenc Carabassa,the project's lead scientist.He also pointed out that other regions,such as Chile and Morocco,have similar conditions and a rich history of fog water capture. The work being done in the Canary Islands serves as a beacon of hope,showcasing the possibilities of innovative solutions and cooperation for a brighter future.As Carabassa thoughtfully noted,"We're living with drought throughout the Mediterranean and also in the Canaries.Every drop of water counts..” 第4页（共8页） 28.What contributes to the forest loss in the Canary Islands according to Gustavo Viera? A.Lack of water collection. B.Fog shortage and water waste C.Human and natural factors. D.Air pollution and tree diseases. 29.What is a feature of the "cloud-milking"technique? A.It is highly mechanized. B.It employs recycling materials. C.It is eco-friendly and efficient. D.It is independent of natural power. 30.Why does Vicenc Carabassa mention Chile and Morocco? A.To present their water shortage issue. B.To compare their forest conditions. C.To introduce their fog capture history. D.To show the technique's applicability. 31.What does the passage mainly focus on? A.The ways to prevent forest desertification. B.A practical solution to local forest recovery. C.The severe drought in the Mediterranean area. D.The promotion of fog water collection technique. D While health studies often focus on sleep quality and length,researchers from the University of Oulu in Finland found that going to bed at the same time each night also matters greatly, especially for people who sleep less than eight hours. The researchers measured sleep behavior activity of 3,231 individuals aged 46.Sleep was tracked via wearables over the course of a week.Participants who slept under eight hours were divided into regular,fairly regular,and irregular groups based on their sleep habits.Data showed that the irregular group had doubled the risk of a major heart event over the next decade, compared to the regular sleepers. More variability in the sleep "midpoint"(halfway between bedtime and waking up)was also linked to worse heart health.However,wake-up times didn't appear to matter,the,data showed. The connection was only there for large variations in getting to bed.In the irregular group,the average variability in bedtime over the week was 108 minutes,compared to 33 minutes for the regular group. "Our findings suggest that the regularity of bedtime may be important for heart health,"said researcher Laura Nauha.There is a caveat here,though,in that the risk only appeared in those who got less than an average amount of sleep (just under eight hours)each night.Getting enough sleep seemed to protect against the dangers of an irregular bedtime. The researchers believe that changing bedtime may disrupt the body's natural 24-hour cycles, which means the heart doesn't have proper rest and recovery periods. It's also important to put the research in context.Out of the more than 3,000 participants, 128 suffered an event like this over the 10-year study period,so we're talking about a relatively low number overall.What's more,sleep was only tracked for seven days,and routines may not necessarily have stayed the same for all participants.Further studies are needed to look at this bedtime relationship in more detail,and across larger and more diverse groups of people. 32.What can we know about the study led by Finnish researchers? A.It lasted for a whole week. B.It focused on sleep length and health C.It used wearable devices to monitor sleep. D.It tracked middle-aged adults with sleep difficulties. 33.What did the researchers find in their study? A.The regular group showed great health improvement. B.Irregular sleepers had a higher risk of heart events. C.The wake-up time played a key role in heart health. D.Variability in sleep midpoint was irrelevant to heart diseases. 第5页（共8页） 34.What does the underlined word "caveat"in paragraph 4 mean? A.Warning. B.Debate. C.Threat. D.Assumption. 35.What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A.To question the reliability of previous findings. B.To explain the study's significance and impacts. C.To give readers suggestions on sleep habits. D.To stress the importance of future research. 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为 多余选项。 Phones are designed to grab your attention and keep you scrolling.The solution to cutting down phone use is to find effective ways to resist the frequent desire to pick up your device.Here are some expert-recommended strategies to help you stop checking it so often.

My parents exchanged glances ()We had moved from New Jersey to New York just a week before.Sighing,my mom turned to me from the front seat."Can't you try to look at the bright side?” “It's different living here..I want to go home.” The car fell silent.We drove into Yaddo Gardens for a picnic,but my bad mood spoiled everything.As we laid out the blanket,we saw volunteers working in the gardens.My dad started talking to a woman named Vera,who told us they worked every Tuesday,Thursday,and Saturday morning.My dad,noticing my low spirits,suggested I join the gardening team. Before I knew it,I was there early on a Tuesday morning.I struggled with heavy tools.Vera introduced me to John,the head gardener.He was eighty-one but still full of energy,moving around the garden with ease. "Dana,come here!"He showed me a beautiful flower,but when he touched it,the petals (fell apart."Looks alive,but it's actually dead,"he said.Then he pointed to a bush that looked stick-like and flowerless."This one will bloom in a few days.Just wait."
