It begins with a steady buzz,echoing through the towering forests of Alaska.It's a signal,
but not one to be alarmed by.It's less "Duck and cover,"more"Come and get it!"
So you step outside your house,where there are few roads and fewer neighbors,and see
it.A single-engine plane flies low,just a few dozen feet above the ground.The plane's door
whips open,and a black package is thrown out,plummeting (to earth with a yellow tail
hanging behind.
Congratulations,you've just been turkey bombed'
The 'bomb"is a 15-pound frozen turkey stuffed into a trash bag,tied with yellow
caution tape for easy visibility.Since 2021,Alaska native Esther Keim has been dropping them
from the air to remote Alaskans who might otherwise be eating squirrel,moose or Spam for
Thanksgiving dinner..
Thanksgiving falls at a tricky time of the year in this part of the country.It's a time
when rivers,which often serve as highways in Alaska's remote areas,are too frozen for boats
to travel but not frozen enough for cars.Their only option for reaching"civilization"is seven
hours on a snowmubile.Or,if you're a pilot like Keim,you can take to the air.
Keim began her turkey-bombing flights after visiting her family in Skwentna,an
isolated village.A neighbor.mentioned how a squirrel he hunted barely fed his family of four.
This reminded Keim of her childhood,when a family friend would drop a turkey-and
sometimes a box of candy inside the package just for her-from his plane to her family every
year."I am gonna drop turkeys to remote Alaskans without road access,"says Keim."It
wouldn't be a big deal,but it'd bring me a lot of joy to bless other people like we were
blessed.”
Now Keim is working to turn this personal effort into a non-profit called the Alaska
Turkey Drop Project.The project has received enough donations from some individuals and
local businesses,with others donating their time and goods.Every year,that noisy plane
soaring through Alaska's sky brings not just turkeys,but a heartwarming reminder of
connection in the wilderness.

Tree-planting,intended to help draw down carbon dioxide from the atmosphere,has
become a synonym(同义词)for climate action.In our constant focus on trees,we've
developed a fixed understanding:Trees absorb carbon dioxide,end of story.The reality is that
trees don't grow well alone.They exist within complex communities,helped along by each
other as well as the animals they coexist with.The woodland isn't nature's only carbon sink:
Grasslands and oceans also help reduce the carbon level and rely on a healthy amount of
biodiversity.
That's what the paper,published in Nature,wants to get across.Co-author Oswald J.
Schmitz,a professor of ecology at Yale University,said trees might not be able to do their
carbon-uptake job efficiently without the right animals in their ecosystem.That's because
animals animate the carbon cycle through their behavior and roles in the ecosystem.He added
that the very presence of wild animals could cause feedback effects that change the
ecosystem's capacity to absorb,release,or transport carbon.
In Serengeti,for instance,the sharp decline in wildebeest()populations during the
mid-20th century allowed grass to grow wildly,eventually promoting wildfires that consumed
英语试题第6页共14页
80 percent of the ecosystem annually and led to a net release of carbon dioxide into the
atmosphere.When disease management and bans on illegal hunting helped animal populations
recover,a greater share of the carbon stored in plants was consumed by wildebeest and
released as waste,keeping it in the systen and restoring the grassland as a carbon sink.
Researchers rarely consider wildlife conservation as a strategy to increase an
ecosystem's carbon storage capacity,said Schmitz."They think that animals either aren't
important enough or that you can't take up carbon and conserve animals at the same time,"he
said."Our message is that you can and should.It can be a win-win for both biodiversity
conservation and carbon uptake."We need a full picture-with both trees and animals -to
explore nature's full potential.
28.Vhat can we leamn from the first paragraph?
A.Actions are needed to reduce carbon dioxide.
3.Trees are a quick solution to the climate crisis
C.Grasslands and oceans help maintain biodiversity
D.People are not thinking through trees properly.
29.What does the underlined word"animate"in paragraph mean?
A.Restart.
B.Activate.
C.Disturb.
D.Break.
30.What does the author want to say by mentioning wildebeest?
A.Animals can change the ecosystem's capacity to store carbon
B.The conservation of animals is still a serious issue
C.Human impacts bring about the reduction in wildlife populations
D.The increase in animal species causes a decrease in carbon uptake.
31.Which of the following is the best ti le for the text?
A Animals Adjust Themselves to Climate Change
B.Woodland Isn't the Only Carbon Sink on the Earth
C.Trees May Fail to Fulfil Their Duties without Animals
D.The Serengeti Ecosystem Needs Urgent Improvement

Swindale Beck meanders (through fields,farmland and valleys.However,not long
ago,the river took a far more straight course.
A healthy river should be winding,free flowing and filled with wildlife.The ideal river is
"very dynamic,messy and chaotic",says Glen Swainson,a manager of RSPB.In Britain,
however,97%of rivers are broken up by artificial barriers.And for centuries rivers have been
slowly artificially straightened to stop water from flooding and spilling onto farmland and
houses.
But removing a rivor's natural meanders has,in fact,achieved the opposite effect.Instead,
it has disrupted the flow of rivers and destroyed water habitats,water quality and heightened
flood risk.As the poor health of Europe's rivers and streams continues to make news,
communities are turning towards natural solutions to restore their rivers.
According to Tom Hayek,a natural flood management specialist,adding meanders into
rivers has two benefits-it changes both the volume and the speed of water.Firstly,it
decreases what's known as flow conveyance."When the length of the river is increased,you
spread water over a wider area.This allows more water to sit up in the headwaters."The
second impact is on speed.Put simply,the more structure you add to the shape of a river,the
slower the water will move down it.If it's straight,water will "fly"through,says Hayek
When the flow of water is slowed,it creates deeper pools for fish to gather and rest.
With meanders added to Swindale Beck,the results were astonishing,says Annabel
Rushton,a visitor experience manager."Within three months of that river being re-meandered,
the salmon(鲑鱼)were spawning(产卵)in that one kilometre area for the first time in
over150 years,"she says.Scientists have also noted an increase in fish gathering.Then,there
were the knock-on effects.Water-loving plants returned,providing cover for young fish to feed
and hide
32.Why were many rivers in Britain artifieially straightened in the past?
A.To increase the natural flow of rivers.
B.To improve water habitats for wildlife
C.To create barriers for flood management.D.To protect people and land from floods.
英语试题第8页共14顷
33.What problem may be caused by removing a river's meanders?
A.Lower water levels.
B.Poorer farning land.
C.Worse water quality.
D.Drier wildlife habitats.
34.What does paragranh 4 mainly talk about?
A.The benefits of adding meanders.
B.The impacts of straightening rivers.
C.The examplcs of controlling floods.
D.The needs of increasing water speed.
35.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Nature conservation is often a long game.
B.Species co-exist and function as a whole.
C.Eco-recovery can happen at a high speed.
D.Bio-diversity relies on human involvement.

When asked for a reasoning or answer to a question,do you find yourself-needing to
explain yout thougts at length,going into too much detail to ensure that your points are
made?36
You tend to explain something in more detail-than required and beyond what is
useful.
3/For someone asking a question,an overexplained answer can be quite
confusing when a direct and simple response just works.However,for the person answering,
they feel worried that the"direct and simple response"doesn't get across enough information.
Overexplaining may start from a young age,especially for those who grew up in a
house where they felt like they weren't listened to or heard.38 This fear can follow
into adulthood and lead to a need to explain everything so that they're not punished again.
Overexplaining might have developed as a handling strategy and defence mechanism,making
it hard to stop,especially when coupled with a fear of rejection or being abandoned.
英语试题第9页
(共14质)
It's hard to stop overexplaining when it's hardwired into your brain.The key is being
aware and noticing when you're explaining more than you should.Once you recognize it,you
can try to hold back a little,it takes time to learn how to wrestle with the urge to say
more.39
One of the hardest things is leaming to "just say no",when you're asked to do something
you don't really want to do,it can be difficult not to explain in detail 40 In truth,
the overexplanation is more to ease your sensc of guilt.However,you don't owe anyone an
explanation in a decline.It's perfectly okay to simply say,'No,but thank you for the offer."
A.In this case you are overexplaining.
B.Bnt it gets easier with more practice.
C You feel sorry for what you have explained.
D.Overexplaining upsets both ends of the conversation.
E.They were worried about the environment they grew up in.
F.Maybe they even got punished without a chance to explain
G By overexplaining,you intend to save the other Person's feelings.

A Latin translation of The Tao Te Ching,(torget)i the British Library for
more than 300 years,has recently been rediscovered and published through the efforts of
Misha Tadd,a scholar at Nankai University
Tadd says,"Compared with The Analects of Confucius,which
(root)in the
traditions and rules of the Spring and Autumn Period(770-476 BC),The Tao Te Ching does
not involve specific names,places,8 social systems."This quality allows it to go
beyond cultural boundaries and speak directly to universal human concerns.
Tadd's connection with The Tao Te Ching began at the age of 14,when he came
an
English edition in a small-town library in the United States.That chance encounter
sparked
one-of-a-kind interest in Chinese culture.
Years later,while 61ucy)a Latin translation of The Republic by Plato,Tadd
wondered if The Tao Te Ching could also be translated into Latin.His search eventually led
him to the British Library,
he discovered a Latin manuscript of the text,translated
by early missionaries.He discovered parts of the manuscript were worn and
(complete),and it was not until 2022 that he obtained a full digital scan of the work.He spent
a long time transcribing,comparing,and annotating the text word by word."It requires
long-term

influence are now

When Mum told me to stay with Grandpa for a couple of hours,I was extremely
unwilling deep down."Ile doesn't like me,"I said."Oh,of course he likes you.He's just sad
since Grandma passed away,"Mum replied.We drove straight to Grandpa's in an
uncomfortable silence.
After dropping me off at Grandpa's apartment,Mum headed to her appointment,
promising to come to pick me up soon.Spotting me,Grandpa motioned for me to sit.We
glanced up at each other now and then but didn't say anything."Want to watch television?"he
asked.I nodded.But nothing was on.Two minutes later,he turned the TV off.We sat there,
Grandpa patting his legs restlessly,and me trying to find a comfortable position on his old,soft
couch.
Suddenly,I felt something hard on the floor bencath the couch.I reached down and
pulled it out.It was a wooden box with fancy designs carved into the sides."Chess?"I said,
surprised."Yeah,I used to play.Do you play?"Grandpa asked."Never,"I answered.Grandpa
fell quiet for a moment,staring at the window and still tapping his legs.Then he suggested that
since we had time,he could teach me how to play.I agreed casually.
Grandpa opened the box,a smell of wood polish rising from inside.He taught me about
all the pieces and showed me how they moved:the king could move one square in any
direction,and the game was won by trapping him;pawns()moved straight forward;knights
(moved in an L-shape and could leap over other pieces...I was amazed at how patient he was.

Our Eco-Friendly Handicraft:From Waste to Wonder
Good moring,everyone!I'm Li Hua.It's my great honor to share our eco-friendly
handicraft with you on behalf of my group.
We made a model garden using waste cardboard,plastic bottles and old cloth.We cleaned,
cut and connected them carefully to make it look lively and natural.Every part of our work
comes from daily waste,showing that rubbish can be turned into valuable art
This activity is really meaningful.It makes us realize the importance of recycling and
green living.It also develops our creativity and teamwork spirit We hope more students will
join us in protecting the environment and making our world better.
Thanks for your attention!
续写:
Our first game began and I played with full attention.I carefully moved each piece,
recalling Grandpa's instructions,and even tried to trap his king.Grandpa smiled gently,
sometimes nodding in approval when I made a good move.When I accidentally moved a pawn
wrong,he didn't blame me but pointed it out softly and guided me to correct it.The room was
no longer silent-we chatted quietly about the game,and I even heard Grandpa laugh for the
first time that afternoon.I forgot my initial unwillingness and got totally absorbed in the
chessboard.

We were really enjoying ourselves when Mum returned.She stood at the door,Bmiling in
surprise as she saw us leaning over the chessboard,talking and laughing.'I see you two bave
made friends,"she said.Grandpa looked at me warmly and patted my shoulder."This kid is a
quick leamer."I grinned,feeling a warm connection with him.As we left,I told Grandpa I
would come back to play chess with him again.For the first time,I realized that Grandpa
wasn't unfriendly-he just needed someone to share his time with,and that someone could be
me.

can,we'd need to find the right company.

W:Hi,Brian,what are you doing?
M:I'm just trying to work out how much I spend a month and I had no idea it was that much
W:Oh,that's why you look so sad.
M:It's terrible.I spend about 30 pounds a month just on books,and my rent is 50 pounds a
week.
W:Yeah,rent's a killer.
M:Then there's food about 30 pounds a week on that,so that's 120 just to eat every month.
W:Yes,but what about going out and stuff?That costs me a fortune.
M:Me too.I think about 150 pounds a month.
W:Oh,guess what?I heard the bus fares are going up.
M:It already costs me 7 pounds a week just to get to college and back.That's 28 pounds an
transport already.

【13-16】
W:Are you currently studying or do you work?
M:I am a student.Yes,studying
W:What do you major in and why did you choose this particular course?
M:Actually,it's easier to find a good job if you are an accountant.
W:Hmm,and what are the most challenging things about your course of study?
M:I think the most difficult thing is that there is a lot of difference in different companies.I
mean the situation is quite different.It is a big challenge because in different situations you
need to use different methods to handle data and figures,yet you need a lot of experience.
W:And what do you think you'll do when your course finishes?
M:I want to get a job at a big company because to become an accountant,experience is much
more important than a degree.
【17-20}
M:Now,I'll tell you briefly about some of the attractions in the places we'll be staying.As I
said,we'll be taking the train to St.Andrews.One thing that's definitely worth visiting there is
the place where the original town was constructed nearly 1000 years ago.There's not much of
the original buildings left,but there's still plenty to see.Our next overnight stop will be in the
village of Cluny.There is a museum indicating the significance of sheep in the area over the
centuries.The wool used to be sold for cloth and it brought richness to the district.From there,
we'll leave for Penley.Penley is well known for its museum of village life,but it's being
repaired at the moment.However,there's an open-air farmer's market every day,selling fruits
and vegetables,all grown within a few miles of the town and sold by the farmers themselves.
It's definitely worth a visit.In Farlow,which is one of the oldest towns in the region,there's a
museum that shows how horses used to be the most universal way of traveling around,and
how they were gradually replaced with steam and later,of course,electric trains,buses and
cars.
