Yoga, meditation may help reduce childhood anxiety Anxiety disorders affect more than one in four adolescents from the ages of 13 to 18, and many of them are treated with medications to try and help them live a relatively healthy childhood. But a team of researchers from the University of Cincinnati set out to explore other treatment options that focus more on the mind and less on pharmaceutical(药物的) solutions. Their study, published in the Journal of Child and Adolescent Psychopharmacology, recruited nine participants who were diagnosed with anxiety disorders between 9 and 16 years of age. These conditions included generalized, social and separation anxiety disorder as well as having a parent with anxiety disorder. Over the course of 12 weeks, each participant underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans while they practiced mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, a wide range of therapeutic techniques that include meditation, yoga, and learning how to pay nonjudgmental attention to one’s life. “These integrative approaches expand traditional treatments and offer new strategies for coping with psychological distress,”said the study’s co-author Sian Cotton, director of the UC’s Center for Integrative Health and Wellness, in a statement. Mindfulness-based therapeutic interventions promote the use of meditative practices to increase present-moment awareness of conscious thoughts, feelings, and body sensations in an effort to manage negative experiences more effectively. Cotton noted the anxiety of their patients was significantly reduced following treatment, and the more mindfulness they practiced, the less anxious they felt. Both findings reaffirm the potential that mindfulness therapy could bring to the table. If nothing else, it might allow people who would be reluctant to take medication more treatments to choose from. “Increasingly, patients and families are asking for additional therapeutic options, in addition to traditional medication-based treatments, that have proven effectiveness for improved symptom reduction. Mindfulness-based therapies for mood disorders is one such example with promising evidence,”said Cotton, adding the university is both studying and implementing these therapies. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】To explore cognitive therapies other than pharmaceutical treatment for anxiety disorders, a university research team found mindfulness therapy helps reduce childhood anxiety significantly through increased consciousness of present feelings and body sensations. Mindfulness therapy allows patients more treatment options. With patients’ increasing demand for additional therapeutic options, the university is now working on these therapies.

The Myth of Short-Term Memory Short-term memory contains the contents of your thoughts right now, including what you intend to do in the next few seconds. Actually, it is doing some mental calculations. You may think about what you’ll say next in a conversation or walk to the hall closet with the intention of getting a pair of gloves. Short-term memory is easily disturbed or disrupted. It depends on your active attention to the items in the “next thing to do” file in your mind. You do this by thinking about them, perhaps repeating them over and over again (“I’m going to the closet to get gloves”). But any distraction — a new thought, someone asking you a question, the telephone ringing — can disrupt your short-term memory by interfering with this attentional maintenance process. Our ability to automatically restore the contents of our short-term memory declines slightly with every decade after 30. But age is not the major factor so commonly assumed. I’ve been teaching undergraduates for my entire career and I can say that even 20-year-olds make short-term memory errors — loads of them. They walk into the wrong classroom; they show up to exams without the necessary No. 2 pencil; they forget something I had just said two minutes before. These are similar to the kinds of things 70-year-olds do. The relevant difference is not age but rather how we describe these events, the stories we tell ourselves about them. Twenty-year-olds don’t think, “Oh, dear, this must be early-onset brain damage.” They think, “I really need to get more than four hours of sleep.” The 70-year-old observes these same events and worries about her brain health. This is not to say that brain damage-related memory impairments are fiction. Instead, every failure of short-term memory doesn’t necessarily indicate a biological disorder. In the absence of brain disease, most research findings indicate that even the oldest adults show little or no memory or cognitive decline beyond age 85 and 90. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】【答案01】 Short-term memory is fragile and easily disrupted. While this ability declines slightly with age, age itself is not the main cause of errors, as younger people make similar mistakes. The key difference lies in perception: the young attribute lapses to lifestyle, whereas the elderly often fear brain damage. In healthy individuals, significant cognitive decline is minimal even in old age.  (60 words) 【答案02】 Short-term memory holds our present thoughts and tasks and can be easily disturbed by different distractions around us. It declines slightly after age 30, but age is not the main cause of memory mistakes. Young people also make similar errors, and the real difference is people’s attitudes toward them, not actual biological disorders. 【导语】文章介绍了短期记忆的功能、易受干扰的特点，指出其在30岁后略有下降，但年龄并非出错主因，真正差异在于人们对错误的态度而非生理问题。 【详解】1.要点摘录 ①Short-term memory contains the contents of your thoughts right now. ②Short-term memory is easily disturbed or disrupted. ③Our ability to automatically restore the contents of our short-term memory declines slightly with every decade after 30. ④But age is not the major factor so commonly assumed. ⑤I can say that even 20-year-olds make short-term memory errors. ⑥The relevant difference is not age but rather how we describe these events, the stories we tell ourselves about them. ⑦ In the absence of brain disease, most research findings indicate that even the oldest adults show little or no memory or cognitive decline beyond age 85 and 90. 2.缜密构思 将①②整合，说明短期记忆的定义；将③④⑤合并，指出短期记忆随着年龄增长会下降，年龄不是主因，年轻人同样会出现记忆失误；将⑥⑦作为结尾，点明核心差异在于态度，对于身体健康的人而言，即便到了老年，显著的认知衰退也微乎其微。 3.遣词造句 Short-term memory, is fragile and easily disrupted.

Stop Being a People-pleaser Imagine this: a relative calls and says she is planning to visit you for the holidays, but you had your heart set on a quiet celebration with your family. Not wanting to disappoint her, you agree, and suddenly your holiday plans have become hers. If this situation sounds familiar, you may be a people pleaser. Instead of saying no to things you really don’t want to do, you say yes. While it’s reasonable to be a team player at work or be kind to family members, you have to do it at your own expense, which is unwise and unhealthy. But where does people-pleasing come from? More often than not, it’s a learned behavior from childhood. If you grew up in a family where you were not allowed to have a say, you may have learned to stay quiet to avoid unpleasant consequences. Additionally, there are several different characteristics that may contribute to people-pleasing. Perfectionists, for example, often assume that others hold the same high standards as they do for themselves. Consequently, afraid of not living up to these imagined expectations, they tend to prioritize others’ needs. Luckily, it’s possible to break away from the habit of pleasing others. It starts with saying no — awkward and uncomfortable though it may be, your well-being depends on it. Setting simple boundaries to protect your time, energy, and emotions also works. For example, don’t answer work emails after hours, stop lending money to that relative who never pays you back, or tell a friend who disrespects you, “Please don’t talk to me that way”. Finally, practice treating yourself as well as you treat others. You may have been raised to think caring for yourself is selfish, but always putting others before yourself will only wear you out. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Many people are people-pleasers who often please others by saying yes to things they dislike at their own expense, which is unwise and unhealthy. It results from childhood experiences and personal traits of perfectionism. To change the situation, we can get rid of it by saying no to others, setting boundaries and caring for ourselves. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了讨好型人格的常见表现，说明这种牺牲自我去迎合他人的行为是不明智且不健康的，分析了它源于童年经历与个人性格，并给出了学会拒绝、设立界限、善待自己等改正方法。 【详解】1. 要点摘录 ①Instead of saying no to things you really don’t want to do, you say yes. ②You have to do it at your own expense, which is unwise and unhealthy. ③People-pleasing is a learned behavior from childhood. ④Several different characteristics may contribute to people-pleasing. ⑤It’s possible to break away from the habit of pleasing others. ⑥Setting simple boundaries to protect your time, energy, and emotions also works. ⑦Practice treating yourself as well as you treat others. 2. 缜密构思将①②两个要点整合，概括讨好型人格的表现与危害；将③④两个要点合并，说明其形成原因；将⑤⑥⑦三个要点重组，梳理出摆脱这一习惯的具体方法。 3. 遣词造句 Many people are people-pleasers who often please others by saying yes to things they dislike at their own expense, which is unwise and unhealthy.

As world leaders meet at COP30 to discuss climate change, there’s lots you can do to help with climate anxiety. There are often lots of stories about the environment and climate change in the news, from forest fires to rising temperatures and this can make you anxious.” It can feel frightening, uncertain and overwhelming, says author and therapist Eloise Skinner. She’s an expert in how people think, feel and behave. If you are feeling this way, you are not alone. A survey by the Save the Children charity found that 70% of young people they spoke to are worried about climate change. There are ways to help ease your worries. One of them is making sure you have all the correct information and accurate details about climate change. “Topics that feel overwhelming when we don’t have all the information can start to feel less scary when we educate ourselves on the issue,” says Skinner. It’s very important to make sure you’re getting your information from the right places, though. “For example, it might be good to read more about it in books or articles, rather than social media,” says Skinner. It’s important to remember that there are lots of people including children, working hard to tackle climate change and there is still hope. Author Ben Martynoga knows all about the environment. He wrote a book about the different and amazing ways nature helps the planet. He says, “We can definitely change what happens next. Climate change pushes us to live differently and that gives us a real chance to build something better: wilder cities, cleaner energy, and a world where nature and people both thrive. Skinner says that for some people, “It might feel better to take small practical actions in everyday life towards supporting the climate, rather than learning all the details.” to help make you feel better. So whether that’s litter picking in your area, using less plastic, planting flowers for bees, raising money for an environmental charity or walking to school instead of getting a lift in the car, there are lots of ways you can make a real difference to the planet. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Climate change significantly triggers anxiety, with a multitude of young people openly expressing their worry.

How to Choose the Right Campsite in Spring Spring is a magical time for camping. The world awakens with fresh greenery and vibrant wildlife, offering a unique escape from the daily grind. However, spring weather and terrain also present specific challenges. To ensure a safe and enjoyable trip, choosing the right campsite requires extra consideration. First and foremost, you must prioritize elevation and drainage. Spring is synonymous with melting snow and increased rainfall, which can turn a picturesque meadow into a mud pit or, worse, a flood zone. Therefore, always avoid low-lying areas, dry riverbeds, and the banks of streams or lakes. Water levels can rise rapidly without warning. Instead, look for elevated, well-drained ground. For example, a slight slope is ideal, as it allows water to run off, keeping your tent floor dry. Shelter from the elements is also critical. Spring weather is notoriously fickle, capable of shifting from warm sunshine to cold winds or sudden showers in minutes. When scouting a location, look for natural windbreaks such as dense groves of trees or large rock formations. These will shield you from biting winds. At the same time, practice your “look up” routine: inspect trees for “widowmakers” — dead branches that can be dislodged by spring storms — and avoid camping directly under them. Finally, consider the balance between sun and shade. In early spring, nights can still be bitterly cold. Choosing a spot that will receive the first rays of morning sunlight can help warm your tent quickly. Conversely, as the day warms up, some shade will keep your camp comfortable and prevent food from spoiling too quickly in the fluctuating temperatures. Selecting a campsite in spring is an exercise in preparation and observation. This careful selection allows you to fully immerse yourself in the season’s beauty — the budding leaves, the rushing streams, and the crisp, fresh air — making for an unforgettable spring adventure. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】A safe and unforgettable spring camping requires choosing sites carefully for safety. First, consider elevation and drainage to pick high and well-drained ground to avoid floods. Second, seek natural windbreaks for shelter from unpredictable weather changes, but avoid camping under dead branches. Finally, balance morning sun for warmth with daytime shade for comfort.

Classics on Modern Stages Four centuries after his death, Shakespeare still appears in unexpected places — not only on traditional stages but in films, schools, and experimental theaters. Some directors now place Hamlet in corporate boardrooms or set Romeo and Juliet in modern cities. Ambition, jealousy and young love translate easily across centuries, and audiences unfamiliar with Elizabethan history may find the stories more approachable in familiar settings. Yet as Shakespeare’s works are increasingly reimagined, a central question emerges: how much adaptation is too much before the original spirit is lost? Director Emma Rice has suggested that modern adaptations make timeless themes more accessible to contemporary audiences. When the stories appear in familiar settings, students encountering the plays for the first time often find the ideas easier to grasp and the characters easier to relate to. She has also observed that updating the setting can reveal how little human emotion has changed over time. A prince hesitating before revenge (报复) or two young lovers challenging social boundaries still reflect experiences that audiences today readily recognize. Yet the enthusiasm for modernization occasionally raises uneasy questions. Critic Michael Billington has voiced concerns that when directors prioritize visual novelty over linguistic integrity, the plays lose the very elements that give them enduring power. Shakespeare’s language — the rhythm of blank verse, the complex imagery, the slow unfolding of thought within a speech — carries the emotional depth of his drama. When those elements are cut, the psychological complexity of the characters decreases. The ongoing experiments on stage suggest that the relationship between classic works and modern audiences should never be taken as settled. To keep Shakespeare’s plays alive, each generation ought to reshape them thoughtfully, while always considering how much change the original spirit can bear. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 This passage talks about modern adaptations of Shakespeare’s plays. By resetting his stories in modern surroundings, these versions help today’s audiences better understand timeless themes and human feelings. However, over-modernization may damage his original language and reduce characters’ inner complexity. Therefore, people should adapt classics wisely to preserve their core spirit. 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了现代舞台上对莎士比亚经典作品的改编现象。 【详解】1.要点摘录 ①Yet as Shakespeare’s works are increasingly reimagined, a central question emerges: how much adaptation is too much before the original spirit is lost? ②Director Emma Rice has suggested that modern adaptations make timeless themes more accessible to contemporary audiences.

How To Get A Good Night’s Sleep Do you toss and turn half the night and wake up feeling exhausted? If so, you are part of the 51 percent of people globally who say that they are not satisfied with their quality of sleep. Lack of sleep can cause problems such as stroke (中风), heart disease and obesity. Feeling sleepy during the day, having difficulty falling asleep and experiencing sleep interruptions suggest you might need to change your ways. Consider some tips that may help you sleep comfortably throughout the night, beginning with a sleep schedule. Work toward going to bed and getting up at the same time every day, including weekends, until it becomes a habit. If you’re still awake 20 minutes after bedtime, you could leave your bedroom and listen to calming music or read. When you feel tired, go back to bed. Turn off all electronic devices an hour before bedtime. This will give you time to wind down from the stimulation before bed. Also, saving your bed for sleep and not for texts, phone calls and emails signals your brain it’s time to take a nap. Keeping your bedroom cool, dark and quiet can help you fall asleep more easily. Over 50 percent of the world’s population lives in brightly lit cities, which interrupts people’s sleep. So, think about using blackout shades to darken your bedroom. Promote better sleep by engaging in daily physical activity. Dr. Dan Gartenberg, an associate professor in biobehavioral health at Penn State suggests variety in everyday activities, including exercise patterns. “If you’re riding your bike and follow the same route again and again, maybe go a different route. When we learn and expose ourselves to more information, there’s actually an effect where you get more deep sleep.” Avoid large meals too close to bedtime and try not to drink caffeine within eight hours of going to bed. If you need a nap, do it early in the day and keep it short. That way you won’t affect your nightly sleep. Worried about something? Write it down and set it aside for tomorrow. Follow this with some deep breathing exercises to help you relax. Changing your sleep environment and patterns may help you get the sleep you need! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文： It provides some tips on how to sleep well at night.

Neighbourly Strangers The traditional British “community spirit” was once the foundation of local life, but today it is in a steady decline. A recent survey shows a cold picture of modern residential streets, where nearly 70% of respondents view their neighbours as virtual strangers. Although people live close by, sharing fences and walls, this no longer translates into real social connection. We are sharing the same space, yet we have never been further apart in our hearts. These statistics highlight a calculated social avoidance. While sharing environments, over 70% of us stay unsure of neighbours’ names, with even fewer identifying their children. In the rush of modern life, two-thirds of people purposely ensure they go entire days without catching a glimpse of the person next door. In fact, many have become experts at timing their departures specifically to avoid the awkwardness of a brief “hello” in the hallway. Furthermore, meaningful interaction has become rare in modern society. Only a small number of people still socialize through dinner dates or communal barbecues. Despite the clear need for human connection, fewer than one in ten would consider organizing a street party. Instead, our interactions have become purely transactional; we might ask a neighbour to water our plants, but we often have no intention of returning the favor or building a lasting friendship. This social withdrawal has serious consequences, as collective disinterest is a primary driver of the loneliness epidemic in the UK. Isolation is no longer just a personal struggle; it has become a public health crisis that affects mental well-being. To bridge this gap, we desperately need innovative urban strategies and local initiatives to restore a sense of belonging. Only by turning back into true “neighbours” can we hope to cure the modern ache of being alone together. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The traditional British “community spirit” is declining, with neighbours becoming virtual strangers despite close proximity. Social avoidance is prevalent, and meaningful interactions are rare, leading to a loneliness epidemic. This isolation is a public health crisis affecting mental well-being, necessitating innovative strategies to restore a sense of belonging and combat loneliness. 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了英国邻里之间关系日益疏远的现象及其后果。 【详解】1.要点摘录 ①The traditional British “community spirit” was once the foundation of local life, but today it is in a steady decline.

They promise they will lose weight, find a new job, or maybe even take that vacation they’ve always talked about. But why do we make these promises to ourselves, and where did this tradition come from? Why does this tradition live on when so many people fail to keep the resolutions they make? Well, we can start by blaming the ancient Babylonians. Around 4,000 years ago in Babylon, the earliest recorded celebration honoring the coming of a new year was held. The collective ceremonial events lasted 11 days. The Babylonians felt this would help them start the new year off on the right foot. Resolutions continued on with the Romans. Julius Caesar decided to make a change. He consulted with the best astronomers and mathematicians of the time and introduced a calendar which more closely represents the modern calendar we use today. Caesar declared January 1 the first day of the year to mark new beginnings. To this day, the traditions of the ancient Babylonians and Romans continue on around the world. So much so that a website event launched a Resolution Map in 2013 where people could add resolutions and see others adding theirs in real time. The most common New Year wishes are Lose Weight, Get Organized, Save More Money, Enjoy Life, Stay Healthy, Learn Something New, Quit Smoking, Help Others Pursue Their Goals, and Spend More Quality Time With Family Members. However, how many resolutions finally come true? No matter how many people participate in the project, only few can maintain their resolutions; only eight percent of people are successful in sticking them out. If those fail resolutions look familiar and remind you that the whole concept is a complete failure, or if they inspire you to create your own list of promises for a new year, just remember that this tradition is destined to live on. We have 4,000 years of history telling us so, and that’s a statistic that’s hard to argue with. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】    New Year’s resolutions, originating from ancient Babylonians and Romans, have become a lasting worldwide tradition. People commonly promise self-improvement, yet few actually succeed. This 4,000-year tradition will continue regardless of outcomes. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了新年决心这一传统的历史起源、发展演变、现代流行形式以及其实现情况。 【详解】1. 要点摘录    ①Around 4,000 years ago in Babylon, the earliest recorded celebration honoring the coming of a new year was held. ②Resolutions continued on with the Romans. ③To this day, the traditions of the ancient Babylonians and Romans continue on around the world. ④The most common New Year wishes are Lose Weight, Get Organized, Save More Money, Enjoy Life, Stay Healthy, Learn Something New, Quit Smoking, Help Others Pursue Their Goals, and Spend More Quality Time With Family Members. ⑤However, how many resolutions finally come true?

Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible. More and more corporations are taking an interest in corporate social responsibility (CSR). CSR is made up of three broad layers. The most basic is traditional corporate charity work. Companies typically spend about 1% of pre-tax profits on worthy projects. But many feel that simply writing cheques to charities is no longer enough. In some companies, shareholders want to know that their money is being put to good use, and employees want to be actively involved in good works. Money alone is not the answer when companies come under attack for their behavior. Hence the second layer of CSR, which is a branch of risk management. Starting in the 1980s, with environmental disasters such as the explosion at Bhopal and the Exxon Valdez oil spill,industry after industry has suffered blows to its reputation. So, companies often responded by trying to manage the risks. They talk to non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and to governments, create codes of conduct (行为准则) and devote themselves to more transparency (透明) in their operations. Increasingly, too, they, along with their competitors, set common rules to spread risks. All this is largely defensive, but there are also opportunities for those that get ahead of the game.The emphasis on opportunity is the third layer of CSR: the idea that it can help to create value. If approached in a strategic way, CSR could become part of a company’s competitive advantage. That is just the sort of thing chief executives like to hear. The idea of “doing well by doing good” has become popular.Nevertheless, the business of trying to be good is bringing difficult questions to executives. Can you measure CSR performance? Should you be cooperating with NGOs and you’re your competitors? Is there any really competitive advantage to be had from a green strategy? Corporate social responsibility is now seen as a mainstream. Big companies want to tell the world about their good citizenship with their devotion to social responsibilities. Done badly, CSR is often just window-dressing and can be positively harmful. Done well, though, it is not some separate activity that companies do on the side, a corner of corporate life reserved for virtue (美德)： it is just good business. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】CSR comprises three layers: traditional charity, risk management addressing reputation crises since 1980s disasters, and strategic value creation. While poorly executed CSR is mere window-dressing, well-implemented CSR constitutes sound business practice rather than peripheral virtue. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了企业社会责任 (CSR) 的三个层次：传统慈善、风险管理和战略价值创造，并指出CSR若执行得当便是良好的商业实践，反之则沦为表面功夫。 【详解】1. 要点摘录 ① CSR consists of three layers: traditional charity (about 1% pre-tax profits), risk management (responding to reputation crises since 1980s disasters), and strategic value creation (doing well by doing good). ② Companies manage risks by consulting NGOs, creating codes of conduct, and increasing transparency; they also set common rules with competitors. ③ Well-executed CSR is good business, but poorly done CSR is merely window-dressing and potentially harmful. 2. 缜密构思 将①②整合为“三层内涵+具体表现”，将③独立为“正反评价”，形成“定义—分层—评价”结构。 3. 遣词造句 CSR comprises three layers: traditional charity, risk management addressing reputation crises since 1980s disasters, and strategic value creation.

Scientists have long imagined city parks and streets lighted by plants that shine at night. The vision is attractive: living lights that need no wiring, that move with the wind, and that turn urban spaces into gardens of gentle light. Yet the science behind the dream is stubborn. Plants power themselves with photosynthesis, which converts only a tiny part of incoming sunlight into usable energy. Most estimates put the capture at under two percent, and plants must spend nearly all of that to stay alive. That leaves little spare energy to convert back into visible light. Because of this limit, engineers sometimes try to skip biology. Instead of making plants generate their own light, they inject leaves with “persistent phosphors,” the same kinds of materials that make plastic stars shine after the bedroom lights go out. These small particles can be spread through the tissues of the plants, producing bright, short-term colors. The trick works, but it is basically a stage effect. As the plant grows, the light fades; when the plant dies, the chemicals must be thrown away. Researchers also rarely address possible risks of releasing high-phosphor plants into gardens and landfills. A truly promising route would modify the plant rather than paint it. If future biotechnology enabled leaves to build biodegradable light-emitting molecules (分子), plants could store part of daylight and release it slowly after sunset. In theory, this might even assist photosynthesis by moderating changes in light levels and by converting otherwise useless wavelengths into ones the chloroplasts (叶绿体) can employ. You might picture fields that shine softly while continuing to grow through the night. For now, though, shining houseplants are mostly clever novelties. They are inspiring to look at, but they will not replace real streetlights any time soon. Use them to stimulate curiosity, not to light the city. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Although people dream of using glowing plants to light cities, plants have very little extra energy to produce light. Injecting phosphors can create temporary light but has many drawbacks and risks. Modifying plants is a promising method but still unrealistic. At present, glowing plants are just novelties and cannot replace streetlights soon. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了科学家设想用发光植物照明城市，但植物光合能量有限，难以发光。注入荧光粉效果短暂且有风险，改造植物虽有前景却不现实。目前发光植物仅为新奇事物，无法替代路灯。 【详解】1 要点摘录 ①Scientists have long imagined city parks and streets lighted by plants that shine at night. ②Plants power themselves with photosynthesis, which converts only a tiny part of incoming sunlight into usable energy. ③Instead of making plants generate their own light, they inject leaves with “persistent phosphors,” the same kinds of materials that make plastic stars shine after the bedroom lights go out.

Catania Turns the Tables on Blue Crabs In a suburb of Catania on Sicily’s east coast, smoke rises from street stalls grilling horse meat, while youngsters gather around counters selling seltz limone e sale — a soda drink with lemon and sea salt. Amid this lively scene, a family of ex-fishers, the Salamones, have opened La Fish, a seafood restaurant that dares to challenge local diet traditions. Alongside Sicily’s classics like swordfish (剑鱼) and tuna, tonight’s tasting menu features a surprising newcomer to the island’s tables — the Atlantic blue crab. These blue-clawed, olive-shelled crabs, originally from the western Atlantic Ocean, have become an ecological threat in the Mediterranean. Without natural enemies, they feed on young clams, destroying shellfish harvests and destroying Italy’s reputation as one of the world’s top clam producers. Their rapid spread has been linked to rising sea temperatures, which have made Sicilian waters increasingly welcoming to non-native species. What began as an environmental concern is gradually turning into a test of human adaptability. People in Sicily are responding in creative ways. One form of response comes from chef Mario Contadino, who celebrates the crab’s sweet and delicate flavor. He serves it on sticky sushi rice with onions, bell peppers, garlic, tomatoes, celery, and edible (可食用的) flowers to appeal to hesitant locals. “Catania people can be closed-minded, “he admits, “but that first bite does not lie. “Another response comes from scientists. Marine biologist Francesco Tiralongo of the University of Catania argues that embracing such non-native species in local diets is”a necessary response to climate change and ecological challenges. “ Social acceptance is following slowly but steadily. In the fish market behind Piazza del Duomo, shopkeeper Rosario now sells 20 kilograms of blue crab a day, saying customers love its taste. Meanwhile, the Salamone family turns the outsider into opportunity: by presenting blue crab as a fancy food, they show that”anything can be edible. “ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 In Sicily, the invasive Atlantic blue crab threatens local shellfish but has inspired creative responses.

The Power of Trust As an athlete, I’ve always worked hard to push myself to my limits and with that usually comes some aches and pains. So last year when I started to feel some muscle soreness after a tough workout at first I didn’t think it was a big deal. I was training for a marathon at the time, so over the weekend I’d done a 13-mile run. The following Tuesday I hit my favorite CrossFit gym to do a workout that involved a lot of upper body weight lifting. My trainer told me to take it easy on my body, but I figured I’d be fine and powered through it. Afterward, my trainer noticed a slight swelling (肿胀) in my arm and said he was worried. I tried to brush him off but he insisted I drink a lot of water and check in with him in a few hours. Sure enough, by that afternoon the swelling had increased and I headed to the doctor. I still thought he was making a mountain out of a molehill but I trusted my trainer so I did it. The doctor took one look at me and diagnosed me with rhabdomyolysis (横纹肌溶解症), a life-threatening condition where muscle overuse causes kidney failure. As they gave me IV fluids to clear my blood, my doctor told me that if I’d waited even another 30 minutes, we would have been having this discussion in the emergency room. I made a full recovery over the weekend, thanks in no small part to my trainer. I was a very experienced CrossFitter and still hadn’t seen any problems. Thankfully I had a great trainer I could trust so that I survived. Trust is important. It allows us to rely on others’ judgment when our own perspective is clouded by determination or pride. Whether it’s a coach, friend, or mentor, trusting someone can protect us from harm, push us toward better choices, and sometimes, quite literally, save our lives. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】As an experienced athlete, I had tough training for marathon despite sore muscles, when my trainer warned me of the swollen arm and expressed his concern.

The Rise of Artificial Intelligence and the Decline of Truth Spreading convincing misinformation once required great effort, but today a smartphone and generative AI can create fake photos, cloned voices, and videos that misrepresent events. While warnings about social media’s power to mislead are not new, AI has intensified the danger by making false content easier to produce and harder to detect. As a result, people now question whether what they see and hear is real, with genuine recordings dismissed as fake and fabricated ones appearing convincingly true. Fake content made by AI is already common. Many fake images show clear signs of AI generation, such as strange body shapes or unnatural faces, but these clues are easy to overlook. As the technology improves, such imperfections will become harder to spot. With so much fake content spreading, some people now use the existence of AI as an excuse to doubt even genuine information. The effects of this technology can be very serious. For example, the U. S. Federal Trade Commission has warned that cheaters can now copy a person’s voice to pretend to be a family member and trick people into sending money. In schools, some teens have already been caught creating and sharing fake images of classmates using AI tools. Despite these harmful uses, the technology is also being packaged as a consumer product. For instance, some smartphones now have advanced editing tools that can change faces in photos or even remove people completely. Not everyone thinks public access to AI will make misinformation worse. Some say there has always been more online content than people can handle. Yet this perspective is hardly comforting. Trust in institutions and experts is already at historic lows. As Hany Farid, a specialist in investigating digital evidence, observes: “If you don’t trust me and I don’t trust you, how do we respond to climate change, or have fair and open elections?” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Generative AI now allows fake content to be created with ease, intensifying social media’s power to mislead.

Most people experience the natural feeling of jealousy at some point in their lives. Some people feel it more strongly than others and some even suffer from the feeling to the extent that jealousy starts consuming them. In some cases the feeling is justified but in others it is not. Frankly speaking, jealousy is a poisonous emotion, both for the person experiencing it and for their families and friends. Jealousy is usually considered as a single, independent emotion, but in reality, it is a whole bundle of feelings that interconnect with each other such as anger, fear, hurt, anxiety, sadness, depression, loneliness, envy, feeling powerless, feeling excluded and so on. For the most part, jealousy is a by-product of one’s own problems with self-confidence and self-respect. It is about a deep fear of the unknown fear of being abandoned and of losing power or control over their families or friends, and also the fear that the needs will not be met. Jealous people often feel very insecure and anxious about their worthiness, feeling that they might not be good enough. Jealousy can also easily become an obsession with people. Someone who is being consumed by jealousy constantly draws in mind pictures and imagines situations where their families or friends are betraying them. As a result, they always manage to convince themselves that their families or friends have done something not proper. These endless suspicions are poisonous and can be extremely harmful to any relationship. So, how is it possible to prevent these ugly thoughts from appearing and from flooding one’s mind at all? The best thing to start with is to start sharing your feelings with your families or friends. It is important to tell them openly that you love them. You may also want to explain that because they are so important to you, you are feeling jealous and insecure. In addition, never feel in a negative way about yourself and certainly do not talk negatively about yourself. Self-confidence is respected by others and if you are always able to think positively when negative feelings start invading you, a habit of doing so will be eventually developed in you. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Jealousy is a common but poisonous emotion, which is actually a mix of interconnected feelings like anger, fear and sadness. It mainly arises from low self-confidence and the fear of being abandoned or losing control. It can turn into obsession, causing suspicion and damaging relationships.

Yoga, meditation may help reduce childhood anxiety Anxiety disorders affect more than one in four adolescents from the ages of 13 to 18, and many of them are treated with medications to try and help them live a relatively healthy childhood. But a team of researchers from the University of Cincinnati set out to explore other treatment options that focus more on the mind and less on pharmaceutical(药物的) solutions. Their study, published in the Journal of Child and Adolescent Psychopharmacology, recruited nine participants who were diagnosed with anxiety disorders between 9 and 16 years of age. These conditions included generalized, social and separation anxiety disorder as well as having a parent with anxiety disorder. Over the course of 12 weeks, each participant underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans while they practiced mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, a wide range of therapeutic techniques that include meditation, yoga, and learning how to pay nonjudgmental attention to one’s life. “These integrative approaches expand traditional treatments and offer new strategies for coping with psychological distress,”said the study’s co-author Sian Cotton, director of the UC’s Center for Integrative Health and Wellness, in a statement. Mindfulness-based therapeutic interventions promote the use of meditative practices to increase present-moment awareness of conscious thoughts, feelings, and body sensations in an effort to manage negative experiences more effectively. Cotton noted the anxiety of their patients was significantly reduced following treatment, and the more mindfulness they practiced, the less anxious they felt. Both findings reaffirm the potential that mindfulness therapy could bring to the table. If nothing else, it might allow people who would be reluctant to take medication more treatments to choose from. “Increasingly, patients and families are asking for additional therapeutic options, in addition to traditional medication-based treatments, that have proven effectiveness for improved symptom reduction. Mindfulness-based therapies for mood disorders is one such example with promising evidence,”said Cotton, adding the university is both studying and implementing these therapies. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2．Directions: Read the following passage.

The Myth of Short-Term Memory Short-term memory contains the contents of your thoughts right now, including what you intend to do in the next few seconds. Actually, it is doing some mental calculations. You may think about what you’ll say next in a conversation or walk to the hall closet with the intention of getting a pair of gloves. Short-term memory is easily disturbed or disrupted. It depends on your active attention to the items in the “next thing to do” file in your mind. You do this by thinking about them, perhaps repeating them over and over again (“I’m going to the closet to get gloves”). But any distraction — a new thought, someone asking you a question, the telephone ringing — can disrupt your short-term memory by interfering with this attentional maintenance process. Our ability to automatically restore the contents of our short-term memory declines slightly with every decade after 30. But age is not the major factor so commonly assumed. I’ve been teaching undergraduates for my entire career and I can say that even 20-year-olds make short-term memory errors — loads of them. They walk into the wrong classroom; they show up to exams without the necessary No. 2 pencil; they forget something I had just said two minutes before. These are similar to the kinds of things 70-year-olds do. The relevant difference is not age but rather how we describe these events, the stories we tell ourselves about them. Twenty-year-olds don’t think, “Oh, dear, this must be early-onset brain damage.” They think, “I really need to get more than four hours of sleep.” The 70-year-old observes these same events and worries about her brain health. This is not to say that brain damage-related memory impairments are fiction. Instead, every failure of short-term memory doesn’t necessarily indicate a biological disorder. In the absence of brain disease, most research findings indicate that even the oldest adults show little or no memory or cognitive decline beyond age 85 and 90. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 3．Directions: Read the following passage.

Stop Being a People-pleaser Imagine this: a relative calls and says she is planning to visit you for the holidays, but you had your heart set on a quiet celebration with your family. Not wanting to disappoint her, you agree, and suddenly your holiday plans have become hers. If this situation sounds familiar, you may be a people pleaser. Instead of saying no to things you really don’t want to do, you say yes. While it’s reasonable to be a team player at work or be kind to family members, you have to do it at your own expense, which is unwise and unhealthy. But where does people-pleasing come from? More often than not, it’s a learned behavior from childhood. If you grew up in a family where you were not allowed to have a say, you may have learned to stay quiet to avoid unpleasant consequences. Additionally, there are several different characteristics that may contribute to people-pleasing. Perfectionists, for example, often assume that others hold the same high standards as they do for themselves. Consequently, afraid of not living up to these imagined expectations, they tend to prioritize others’ needs. Luckily, it’s possible to break away from the habit of pleasing others. It starts with saying no — awkward and uncomfortable though it may be, your well-being depends on it. Setting simple boundaries to protect your time, energy, and emotions also works. For example, don’t answer work emails after hours, stop lending money to that relative who never pays you back, or tell a friend who disrespects you, “Please don’t talk to me that way”. Finally, practice treating yourself as well as you treat others. You may have been raised to think caring for yourself is selfish, but always putting others before yourself will only wear you out. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 4．Directions: Read the following passage.

As world leaders meet at COP30 to discuss climate change, there’s lots you can do to help with climate anxiety. There are often lots of stories about the environment and climate change in the news, from forest fires to rising temperatures and this can make you anxious.” It can feel frightening, uncertain and overwhelming, says author and therapist Eloise Skinner. She’s an expert in how people think, feel and behave. If you are feeling this way, you are not alone. A survey by the Save the Children charity found that 70% of young people they spoke to are worried about climate change. There are ways to help ease your worries. One of them is making sure you have all the correct information and accurate details about climate change. “Topics that feel overwhelming when we don’t have all the information can start to feel less scary when we educate ourselves on the issue,” says Skinner. It’s very important to make sure you’re getting your information from the right places, though. “For example, it might be good to read more about it in books or articles, rather than social media,” says Skinner. It’s important to remember that there are lots of people including children, working hard to tackle climate change and there is still hope. Author Ben Martynoga knows all about the environment. He wrote a book about the different and amazing ways nature helps the planet. He says, “We can definitely change what happens next. Climate change pushes us to live differently and that gives us a real chance to build something better: wilder cities, cleaner energy, and a world where nature and people both thrive. Skinner says that for some people, “It might feel better to take small practical actions in everyday life towards supporting the climate, rather than learning all the details.” to help make you feel better. So whether that’s litter picking in your area, using less plastic, planting flowers for bees, raising money for an environmental charity or walking to school instead of getting a lift in the car, there are lots of ways you can make a real difference to the planet. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 5．Directions: Read the following passage.

How to Choose the Right Campsite in Spring Spring is a magical time for camping. The world awakens with fresh greenery and vibrant wildlife, offering a unique escape from the daily grind. However, spring weather and terrain also present specific challenges. To ensure a safe and enjoyable trip, choosing the right campsite requires extra consideration. First and foremost, you must prioritize elevation and drainage. Spring is synonymous with melting snow and increased rainfall, which can turn a picturesque meadow into a mud pit or, worse, a flood zone. Therefore, always avoid low-lying areas, dry riverbeds, and the banks of streams or lakes. Water levels can rise rapidly without warning. Instead, look for elevated, well-drained ground. For example, a slight slope is ideal, as it allows water to run off, keeping your tent floor dry. Shelter from the elements is also critical. Spring weather is notoriously fickle, capable of shifting from warm sunshine to cold winds or sudden showers in minutes. When scouting a location, look for natural windbreaks such as dense groves of trees or large rock formations. These will shield you from biting winds. At the same time, practice your “look up” routine: inspect trees for “widowmakers” — dead branches that can be dislodged by spring storms — and avoid camping directly under them. Finally, consider the balance between sun and shade. In early spring, nights can still be bitterly cold. Choosing a spot that will receive the first rays of morning sunlight can help warm your tent quickly. Conversely, as the day warms up, some shade will keep your camp comfortable and prevent food from spoiling too quickly in the fluctuating temperatures. Selecting a campsite in spring is an exercise in preparation and observation. This careful selection allows you to fully immerse yourself in the season’s beauty — the budding leaves, the rushing streams, and the crisp, fresh air — making for an unforgettable spring adventure. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 6．Directions: Read the following passage.

Classics on Modern Stages Four centuries after his death, Shakespeare still appears in unexpected places — not only on traditional stages but in films, schools, and experimental theaters. Some directors now place Hamlet in corporate boardrooms or set Romeo and Juliet in modern cities. Ambition, jealousy and young love translate easily across centuries, and audiences unfamiliar with Elizabethan history may find the stories more approachable in familiar settings. Yet as Shakespeare’s works are increasingly reimagined, a central question emerges: how much adaptation is too much before the original spirit is lost? Director Emma Rice has suggested that modern adaptations make timeless themes more accessible to contemporary audiences. When the stories appear in familiar settings, students encountering the plays for the first time often find the ideas easier to grasp and the characters easier to relate to. She has also observed that updating the setting can reveal how little human emotion has changed over time. A prince hesitating before revenge (报复) or two young lovers challenging social boundaries still reflect experiences that audiences today readily recognize. Yet the enthusiasm for modernization occasionally raises uneasy questions. Critic Michael Billington has voiced concerns that when directors prioritize visual novelty over linguistic integrity, the plays lose the very elements that give them enduring power. Shakespeare’s language — the rhythm of blank verse, the complex imagery, the slow unfolding of thought within a speech — carries the emotional depth of his drama. When those elements are cut, the psychological complexity of the characters decreases. The ongoing experiments on stage suggest that the relationship between classic works and modern audiences should never be taken as settled. To keep Shakespeare’s plays alive, each generation ought to reshape them thoughtfully, while always considering how much change the original spirit can bear. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 7．Directions: Read the following passage.

How To Get A Good Night’s Sleep Do you toss and turn half the night and wake up feeling exhausted? If so, you are part of the 51 percent of people globally who say that they are not satisfied with their quality of sleep. Lack of sleep can cause problems such as stroke (中风), heart disease and obesity. Feeling sleepy during the day, having difficulty falling asleep and experiencing sleep interruptions suggest you might need to change your ways. Consider some tips that may help you sleep comfortably throughout the night, beginning with a sleep schedule. Work toward going to bed and getting up at the same time every day, including weekends, until it becomes a habit. If you’re still awake 20 minutes after bedtime, you could leave your bedroom and listen to calming music or read. When you feel tired, go back to bed. Turn off all electronic devices an hour before bedtime. This will give you time to wind down from the stimulation before bed. Also, saving your bed for sleep and not for texts, phone calls and emails signals your brain it’s time to take a nap. Keeping your bedroom cool, dark and quiet can help you fall asleep more easily. Over 50 percent of the world’s population lives in brightly lit cities, which interrupts people’s sleep. So, think about using blackout shades to darken your bedroom. Promote better sleep by engaging in daily physical activity. Dr. Dan Gartenberg, an associate professor in biobehavioral health at Penn State suggests variety in everyday activities, including exercise patterns. “If you’re riding your bike and follow the same route again and again, maybe go a different route. When we learn and expose ourselves to more information, there’s actually an effect where you get more deep sleep.” Avoid large meals too close to bedtime and try not to drink caffeine within eight hours of going to bed. If you need a nap, do it early in the day and keep it short. That way you won’t affect your nightly sleep. Worried about something? Write it down and set it aside for tomorrow. Follow this with some deep breathing exercises to help you relax. Changing your sleep environment and patterns may help you get the sleep you need! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 8．Directions: Read the following passage.

Neighbourly Strangers The traditional British “community spirit” was once the foundation of local life, but today it is in a steady decline. A recent survey shows a cold picture of modern residential streets, where nearly 70% of respondents view their neighbours as virtual strangers. Although people live close by, sharing fences and walls, this no longer translates into real social connection. We are sharing the same space, yet we have never been further apart in our hearts. These statistics highlight a calculated social avoidance. While sharing environments, over 70% of us stay unsure of neighbours’ names, with even fewer identifying their children. In the rush of modern life, two-thirds of people purposely ensure they go entire days without catching a glimpse of the person next door. In fact, many have become experts at timing their departures specifically to avoid the awkwardness of a brief “hello” in the hallway. Furthermore, meaningful interaction has become rare in modern society. Only a small number of people still socialize through dinner dates or communal barbecues. Despite the clear need for human connection, fewer than one in ten would consider organizing a street party. Instead, our interactions have become purely transactional; we might ask a neighbour to water our plants, but we often have no intention of returning the favor or building a lasting friendship. This social withdrawal has serious consequences, as collective disinterest is a primary driver of the loneliness epidemic in the UK. Isolation is no longer just a personal struggle; it has become a public health crisis that affects mental well-being. To bridge this gap, we desperately need innovative urban strategies and local initiatives to restore a sense of belonging. Only by turning back into true “neighbours” can we hope to cure the modern ache of being alone together. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 9．New Year’s Resolution Every time a new year rolls around, people set out to better themselves. They promise they will lose weight, find a new job, or maybe even take that vacation they’ve always talked about. But why do we make these promises to ourselves, and where did this tradition come from? Why does this tradition live on when so many people fail to keep the resolutions they make? Well, we can start by blaming the ancient Babylonians. Around 4,000 years ago in Babylon, the earliest recorded celebration honoring the coming of a new year was held. The collective ceremonial events lasted 11 days. The Babylonians felt this would help them start the new year off on the right foot. Resolutions continued on with the Romans. Julius Caesar decided to make a change. He consulted with the best astronomers and mathematicians of the time and introduced a calendar which more closely represents the modern calendar we use today. Caesar declared January 1 the first day of the year to mark new beginnings. To this day, the traditions of the ancient Babylonians and Romans continue on around the world. So much so that a website event launched a Resolution Map in 2013 where people could add resolutions and see others adding theirs in real time. The most common New Year wishes are Lose Weight, Get Organized, Save More Money, Enjoy Life, Stay Healthy, Learn Something New, Quit Smoking, Help Others Pursue Their Goals, and Spend More Quality Time With Family Members. However, how many resolutions finally come true? No matter how many people participate in the project, only few can maintain their resolutions; only eight percent of people are successful in sticking them out. If those fail resolutions look familiar and remind you that the whole concept is a complete failure, or if they inspire you to create your own list of promises for a new year, just remember that this tradition is destined to live on. We have 4,000 years of history telling us so, and that’s a statistic that’s hard to argue with. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 10．Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible. More and more corporations are taking an interest in corporate social responsibility (CSR). CSR is made up of three broad layers. The most basic is traditional corporate charity work. Companies typically spend about 1% of pre-tax profits on worthy projects. But many feel that simply writing cheques to charities is no longer enough. In some companies, shareholders want to know that their money is being put to good use, and employees want to be actively involved in good works. Money alone is not the answer when companies come under attack for their behavior. Hence the second layer of CSR, which is a branch of risk management. Starting in the 1980s, with environmental disasters such as the explosion at Bhopal and the Exxon Valdez oil spill,industry after industry has suffered blows to its reputation. So, companies often responded by trying to manage the risks. They talk to non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and to governments, create codes of conduct (行为准则) and devote themselves to more transparency (透明) in their operations. Increasingly, too, they, along with their competitors, set common rules to spread risks. All this is largely defensive, but there are also opportunities for those that get ahead of the game.The emphasis on opportunity is the third layer of CSR: the idea that it can help to create value. If approached in a strategic way, CSR could become part of a company’s competitive advantage. That is just the sort of thing chief executives like to hear. The idea of “doing well by doing good” has become popular.Nevertheless, the business of trying to be good is bringing difficult questions to executives. Can you measure CSR performance? Should you be cooperating with NGOs and you’re your competitors? Is there any really competitive advantage to be had from a green strategy? Corporate social responsibility is now seen as a mainstream. Big companies want to tell the world about their good citizenship with their devotion to social responsibilities. Done badly, CSR is often just window-dressing and can be positively harmful. Done well, though, it is not some separate activity that companies do on the side, a corner of corporate life reserved for virtue (美德)： it is just good business. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 11．Directions: Read the following passage.

Scientists have long imagined city parks and streets lighted by plants that shine at night. The vision is attractive: living lights that need no wiring, that move with the wind, and that turn urban spaces into gardens of gentle light. Yet the science behind the dream is stubborn. Plants power themselves with photosynthesis, which converts only a tiny part of incoming sunlight into usable energy. Most estimates put the capture at under two percent, and plants must spend nearly all of that to stay alive. That leaves little spare energy to convert back into visible light. Because of this limit, engineers sometimes try to skip biology. Instead of making plants generate their own light, they inject leaves with “persistent phosphors,” the same kinds of materials that make plastic stars shine after the bedroom lights go out. These small particles can be spread through the tissues of the plants, producing bright, short-term colors. The trick works, but it is basically a stage effect. As the plant grows, the light fades; when the plant dies, the chemicals must be thrown away. Researchers also rarely address possible risks of releasing high-phosphor plants into gardens and landfills. A truly promising route would modify the plant rather than paint it. If future biotechnology enabled leaves to build biodegradable light-emitting molecules (分子), plants could store part of daylight and release it slowly after sunset. In theory, this might even assist photosynthesis by moderating changes in light levels and by converting otherwise useless wavelengths into ones the chloroplasts (叶绿体) can employ. You might picture fields that shine softly while continuing to grow through the night. For now, though, shining houseplants are mostly clever novelties. They are inspiring to look at, but they will not replace real streetlights any time soon. Use them to stimulate curiosity, not to light the city. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 12．Directions: Read the following passage.

Catania Turns the Tables on Blue Crabs In a suburb of Catania on Sicily’s east coast, smoke rises from street stalls grilling horse meat, while youngsters gather around counters selling seltz limone e sale — a soda drink with lemon and sea salt. Amid this lively scene, a family of ex-fishers, the Salamones, have opened La Fish, a seafood restaurant that dares to challenge local diet traditions. Alongside Sicily’s classics like swordfish (剑鱼) and tuna, tonight’s tasting menu features a surprising newcomer to the island’s tables — the Atlantic blue crab. These blue-clawed, olive-shelled crabs, originally from the western Atlantic Ocean, have become an ecological threat in the Mediterranean. Without natural enemies, they feed on young clams, destroying shellfish harvests and destroying Italy’s reputation as one of the world’s top clam producers. Their rapid spread has been linked to rising sea temperatures, which have made Sicilian waters increasingly welcoming to non-native species. What began as an environmental concern is gradually turning into a test of human adaptability. People in Sicily are responding in creative ways. One form of response comes from chef Mario Contadino, who celebrates the crab’s sweet and delicate flavor. He serves it on sticky sushi rice with onions, bell peppers, garlic, tomatoes, celery, and edible (可食用的) flowers to appeal to hesitant locals. “Catania people can be closed-minded, “he admits, “but that first bite does not lie. “Another response comes from scientists. Marine biologist Francesco Tiralongo of the University of Catania argues that embracing such non-native species in local diets is”a necessary response to climate change and ecological challenges. “ Social acceptance is following slowly but steadily. In the fish market behind Piazza del Duomo, shopkeeper Rosario now sells 20 kilograms of blue crab a day, saying customers love its taste. Meanwhile, the Salamone family turns the outsider into opportunity: by presenting blue crab as a fancy food, they show that”anything can be edible. “ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 13．Directions: Read the following passage.

The Power of Trust As an athlete, I’ve always worked hard to push myself to my limits and with that usually comes some aches and pains. So last year when I started to feel some muscle soreness after a tough workout at first I didn’t think it was a big deal. I was training for a marathon at the time, so over the weekend I’d done a 13-mile run. The following Tuesday I hit my favorite CrossFit gym to do a workout that involved a lot of upper body weight lifting. My trainer told me to take it easy on my body, but I figured I’d be fine and powered through it. Afterward, my trainer noticed a slight swelling (肿胀) in my arm and said he was worried. I tried to brush him off but he insisted I drink a lot of water and check in with him in a few hours. Sure enough, by that afternoon the swelling had increased and I headed to the doctor. I still thought he was making a mountain out of a molehill but I trusted my trainer so I did it. The doctor took one look at me and diagnosed me with rhabdomyolysis (横纹肌溶解症), a life-threatening condition where muscle overuse causes kidney failure. As they gave me IV fluids to clear my blood, my doctor told me that if I’d waited even another 30 minutes, we would have been having this discussion in the emergency room. I made a full recovery over the weekend, thanks in no small part to my trainer. I was a very experienced CrossFitter and still hadn’t seen any problems. Thankfully I had a great trainer I could trust so that I survived. Trust is important. It allows us to rely on others’ judgment when our own perspective is clouded by determination or pride. Whether it’s a coach, friend, or mentor, trusting someone can protect us from harm, push us toward better choices, and sometimes, quite literally, save our lives. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 14．Read the following passage.

The Rise of Artificial Intelligence and the Decline of Truth Spreading convincing misinformation once required great effort, but today a smartphone and generative AI can create fake photos, cloned voices, and videos that misrepresent events. While warnings about social media’s power to mislead are not new, AI has intensified the danger by making false content easier to produce and harder to detect. As a result, people now question whether what they see and hear is real, with genuine recordings dismissed as fake and fabricated ones appearing convincingly true. Fake content made by AI is already common. Many fake images show clear signs of AI generation, such as strange body shapes or unnatural faces, but these clues are easy to overlook. As the technology improves, such imperfections will become harder to spot. With so much fake content spreading, some people now use the existence of AI as an excuse to doubt even genuine information. The effects of this technology can be very serious. For example, the U. S. Federal Trade Commission has warned that cheaters can now copy a person’s voice to pretend to be a family member and trick people into sending money. In schools, some teens have already been caught creating and sharing fake images of classmates using AI tools. Despite these harmful uses, the technology is also being packaged as a consumer product. For instance, some smartphones now have advanced editing tools that can change faces in photos or even remove people completely. Not everyone thinks public access to AI will make misinformation worse. Some say there has always been more online content than people can handle. Yet this perspective is hardly comforting. Trust in institutions and experts is already at historic lows. As Hany Farid, a specialist in investigating digital evidence, observes: “If you don’t trust me and I don’t trust you, how do we respond to climate change, or have fair and open elections?” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 15．Directions: Read the following passage.

Most people experience the natural feeling of jealousy at some point in their lives. Some people feel it more strongly than others and some even suffer from the feeling to the extent that jealousy starts consuming them. In some cases the feeling is justified but in others it is not. Frankly speaking, jealousy is a poisonous emotion, both for the person experiencing it and for their families and friends. Jealousy is usually considered as a single, independent emotion, but in reality, it is a whole bundle of feelings that interconnect with each other such as anger, fear, hurt, anxiety, sadness, depression, loneliness, envy, feeling powerless, feeling excluded and so on. For the most part, jealousy is a by-product of one’s own problems with self-confidence and self-respect. It is about a deep fear of the unknown fear of being abandoned and of losing power or control over their families or friends, and also the fear that the needs will not be met. Jealous people often feel very insecure and anxious about their worthiness, feeling that they might not be good enough. Jealousy can also easily become an obsession with people. Someone who is being consumed by jealousy constantly draws in mind pictures and imagines situations where their families or friends are betraying them. As a result, they always manage to convince themselves that their families or friends have done something not proper. These endless suspicions are poisonous and can be extremely harmful to any relationship. So, how is it possible to prevent these ugly thoughts from appearing and from flooding one’s mind at all? The best thing to start with is to start sharing your feelings with your families or friends. It is important to tell them openly that you love them. You may also want to explain that because they are so important to you, you are feeling jealous and insecure. In addition, never feel in a negative way about yourself and certainly do not talk negatively about yourself. Self-confidence is respected by others and if you are always able to think positively when negative feelings start invading you, a habit of doing so will be eventually developed in you. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
