Life in London has been mapped according to its health, wealth, land ownership, and transport at key points in its long history. But it is now hoped that it can be charted in a way that tells a different story: the story of language itself.
In a city known for its diversity, a new project aims to highlight another part of London's multiculturalism: its endangered languages. Linguist Perlin, who recently won a renowned book prize, believes that mapping the speakers of these at-risk languages could be the first step in preserving them.
London has a rich tapestry of languages spoken by its residents, but many of them are endangered, threatened by economic pressures and the high cost of housing that have pushed some language communities to the edges of the city.
Perlin, who has already worked on a similar project in New York, hopes to copy the success of that endeavor in London. Using open-source methods, he plans to create a map that pinpoints the locations of the speakers of the capital's most vulnerable languages. This map, he believes, will not only reveal the diversity of languages spoken in London but also help in protecting and understanding the human knowledge and culture they represent. Perlin's project aims to delve (探索) deeper into this linguistic landscape, uncovering the “deepest levels of human diversity”. By mapping the speakers of endangered languages, he hopes to raise awareness of their plight and encourage efforts to preserve them.
London's linguistic diversity is shaped by a great number of factors, including war, poverty, trade, and its colonial past. Perlin believes that each language group should be celebrated, just as the city's diversity in food and culture is often showcased. As the project moves forward, Perlin is interested in the impact of religion on the spread and decline of languages. He plans to explore this topic in his next book, which will examine the phenomenon of the most translated film of all time.
24.What measure will Perlin first take to preserve endangered languages?
A.Chart their distributions.
B.Promote their use in communities.
C.Analyse the causes of their decline.
D.Rate them according to their frequency of use.
25.What is the threat to endangered languages in London?
A.London's special location.
B.Unrevealed human diversity.
C.Unbalanced economy.
D.Widespread religions.
26.Which of the following statements will Perlin agree with?
A.Religions blocked the city's diversity.
B.Britain's colonial past harmed its diversity.
C.Wars and trade caused many endangered languages.
D.The human diversity involves language use.
27.Which can best explain the underlined word “plight” in paragraph 4?
A.Prospect. B.Difficulty. C.Drawback. D.Highlight.

17 million Americans with major depressive disorder each year may soon receive a surprising new prescription:have fun on a virtual reality device.
Engaging in activities that make people with severe depression feel good may seem like overly simplistic advice. But the science behind this idea, called “behavioral activation”, is well established. Multiple studies have found that encouraging people to get outside or socialize can help ease the symptoms of depression. Now, researchers have discovered that engaging in enjoyable activities with a virtual reality system may be as effective in treating depression as carrying depression patients out in the real world. And for those depressed to a level that makes leaving the house a challenge, it could provide the benefits of getting outside.
A study by the team followed twenty-six people with major depressive disorder. Thirteen people were assigned traditional behavioral activation, engaging with real life activities by going on outings in their community or socializing with friends. The other thirteen people received a VR headset to participate in activities ranging from playing table tennis to touring foreign cities.
After four weeks, both groups saw a significant decrease in their symptoms of depression and their depression ratings. Moreover, many people who had used the VR devices said the virtual activities had helped push them to get out of the house and be more involved in in-person activities. A researcher said, “These virtual activities got their motors running just enough to get out of bed.”
The only negative feedback is learning how to set up the device, as well as the need for alerts or reminders to keep people accountable for engaging in the behavioral activation. The researchers have since developed a companion VR behavioral activation app that helps address some of these concerns.
The team says larger and longer-term studies are needed to find the best ways to administer virtual behavioral activation, as well as which patient populations might be best targeted with the VR treatment. They also think more efforts are needed to inform clinicians about how to prescribe VR behavioral activation appropriately. They believe the cost and ease of many VR platforms make it an easy treatment to scale up.
28.Which of the following is an example of behavioral activation for people with depression?
A.Watching TV. B.Reading books.
C.Playing games online. D.Offering community service.
29.How did the team conduct the study?
A.By interviewing the patients in hospital.
B.By using VR to simulate the patients' conditions.
C.By keeping track of two groups' transformations.
D.By comparing VR therapy with medicine treatment.
30.What does the team think of the VR treatment?
A.Complex. B.Effective. C.Secure. D.Exceptional.
31.What does the team need to research further?
A.The best ways to use the VR treatment.
B.The cost of popularizing VR platforms.
C.The acceptance of the VR treatment for patients.
D.The development of a VR behavioral activation app.

A small team of animal scientists at Azabu University in Japan has found via experimentation that common house cats are capable of associating human words with images without prompting or reward. In their study, published in the journal Scientific Reports, the group tested volunteer cats looking at images on a computer screen to see if they form associations between the images and spoken words.
Prior research has shown that cats know when a human is speaking their name—they respond in ways that are different from when hearing other words. Other experiments have shown that they are able to match photos of people they know to their names.
In this new effort, the researchers found that cats may be able to understand many of the words spoken to them. To find out if cats have the ability to match a word to an object, the research team enlisted the assistance of 31 volunteer adult house cats. Each was given a word test originally designed to learn more about word association in growing human infants. It involves being shown short animations. While the image is displayed, a nonsensical (无意义的) word is broadcast. Each cat saw two such animations—one was accompanied by the word “keraru”, the other “parumo”. The videos were played on a loop until the cats looked away.
After giving each cat a break, each was once again placed in front of the computer screen and the same two animations were shown on a loop. But this time, the spoken words were reversed. As the cats watched the videos, the researchers watched the cats. They found that they stared longer when hearing the word than during the original broadcast—some even showed pupil dilation (瞳孔扩大). Both were signs that the cats were confused by the switch-up and were looking intently to find an explanation, evidence that they had associated the words with the images on the computer screen, even in the absence of a reward.
This finding, the team suggests, indicates that it is likely that cats commonly associate words they hear from humans with objects in their environment.
32.What is the function of paragraph 2?
A.To introduce a new experiment.
B.To draw a conclusion from similar experiments.
C.To detail the complex procedure of the experiment.
D.To supplement the background of the recent research.
33.Why was a meaningless word broadcast in the experiment?
A.To test the cats' auditory sense.
B.To train the cats with a new language.
C.To ensure the cats establish new connections.
D.To guarantee the cats understand the animations.
34.What behavior indicated that the cats had formed associations in the study?
A.They watched animations longer with enlarged pupils.
B.They conveyed the confusion to each other.
C.They showed impatience at the second time.
D.They showed preference to one of the animations.
35.What is the best title for the text?
A.House cats can watch animations like human
B.House cats associate human words with images
C.House cats understand different human languages
D.House cats have the ability to distinguish different images

Things Naturally Optimistic People Do Every Day
Pessimists may appear unenthusiastic or demotivated, worrying excessively that things will turn out badly. 36 In order to become optimistic, here are some natural things to bear in mind.
Find a job you are passionate about. If you wake up dreading the day and have to drag yourself out of bed to get to work, it might be time to look for greener pastures. For optimists, work is more than just an opportunity for a paycheck. 37 Eventually, happiness and satisfaction at work will seep into other aspects of life.
Try, and try again. When faced with challenges, pessimists tend to be focused on the obstacles rather than exploring potential solutions for improvement. However, optimists' minds quickly shift to finding solutions and exploring opportunities. 38
Write down the good things that happen to you. Take a few minutes each day to write a journal about the good things in your life. 39 Most situations can be seen in both a positive and negative light. A study found that those who focus on more uplifting content end up living longer.
40 Many optimists share their creativity with others, like cooking up a new dish for their coworkers. If creativity doesn't come naturally to you, don't despair. Try this:write down your top five strengths, and then use one in a different way every day for one week. Afterwards, you are more likely to explore new ideas and facilitate personal growth.
By cultivating an optimistic mindset, you can lead a more fulfilling, successful, and happy life.
A.Everyone has strengths and weaknesses.
B.Besides, optimists have fewer chances of feeling lonely.
C.You could attempt to use your advantages in a new way.
D.So optimists tend to be more successful at work in the long run.
E.It's also an opportunity to learn, grow, and do what they love.
F.By contrast, those focusing on the bright side see things differently.
G.Even if it isn't a particularly great day, try to find something positive.

A little boy, named George, was raised in an orphanage. He had always wished that he could fly like a bird. There were birds at the zoo, and they could fly. “Why can't I?” he thought, staring longingly at the sky. He wondered, often sitting alone in the orphanage garden, watching the birds soar above.
Another little boy, Issac, was crippled. He had always wished that he could walk and run like other little boys and girls. His room was filled with toys that other children played with on their feet, but for him, they remained still, a constant reminder of what he could not do. “Why can't I be like them?” he thought, as he looked out of his window at the children playing in the street.
One sunny afternoon, George, who dreamed of flying, wandered to a nearby park. The grass was lush and green, and the trees swayed gently in the breeze. Suddenly, he came across the crippled boy, Issac, sitting in a sandbox and watching the other children play. His eyes lit up with curiosity as he approached Issac.
They quickly became friends, sharing their dreams and frustrations. George told Issac about his desire to fly, while Issac shared his longing to walk and run. They made sandcastles together, their laughter ringing out across the park.
As the hours passed, the sun began to set, casting a golden glow over the park. The time came for Issac's father to pick him up. Seeing the joy his son had found in this new friendship, the father's heart softened. He watched as the two boys played, their laughter filling the air.
George, with a determined look in his eyes and dirt smeared across his face, approached Issac's father. “Sir,” he began, his voice trembling with sincerity, “I know my friend wishes he could walk and run like other kids. Is there anything I can do to help him feel that freedom?” The father was taken aback by the sincerity of George. Then, he replied, “You can give him the gift of hope.”

W:On September 1st, 1859, miners following the Colorado gold rush woke up to another sunny day. Or so they thought. To their surprise, they soon discovered it was actually 1 am, and the sky wasn't lit by the sun, but rather by brilliant light. The blazing glow could be seen as far as the Caribbean, leading people there to believe that nearby cities had caught fire. But the true cause of what would be known as the Carrington Event was a solar storm—the largest in recorded history. In 1921, another powerful solar storm caused the entire railway system in New York to shut down and fires broke out in the central control building. Comparatively weak storms in 1989 damaged multiple satellites. Fortunately, after centuries of observing sunspots, researchers have learned the sun's usual magnetic activity follows an 11-year cycle, giving us a window into when solar storms are likely to occur. And as our ability to forecast space weather has improved, so have our mitigation measures. Many modern satellites and spacecraft are equipped with special shielding to absorb the impact of a solar storm.

第四部分 写作
第一节
One possible version:
Dear James,
Last week, I participated in the calligraphy competition with the theme of “Glorifying China, Inheriting Culture” in our school.
I chose to write a famous Chinese idiom “Tian Dao Chou Qin”, which can be translated into English as “Heaven rewards hard work”. In other words, my work conveys the message that those who are dedicated to their fields will ultimately be rewarded for their constant efforts. In my opinion, this experience is rewarding and enlightening as it has not only boosted my confidence in expressing myself through calligraphy but also has helped develop a strong sense of cultural pride in me.
Do you have similar cultural activities in your country? I'd love to hear about them.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
One possible version:
Though confused, George was determined to bring a smile to his friend's face. He tried hard to think about what he could do to give Issac the gift of hope. After spending hours searching through books on disabilities and inspirational stories in the library, George rushed back to the orphanage with excitement and carefully crafted a picture of a bird soaring in the sky, symbolizing freedom and hope. When he presented it to Issac, the boy's eyes widened with surprise and joy. “This is for you,” George said softly. “So you can always remember that even if you can't walk, your spirit can fly.” Issac's father watched from a distance, tears of gratitude welling up in his eyes, moved by the kindness of his son's new friend.
From that day on, the park became their special place. Every afternoon, George and Issac would meet there, their laughter echoing through the trees. They built sandcastles, flew paper airplanes, and shared stories of their dreams. George would often draw pictures for Issac, each one symbolizing the friendship and hope that lay within them. As they played, Issac's smile grew brighter, and his spirit lifted. Together, George and Issac learned that true friendship has no boundaries, and that even in the face of adversity, hope and love can triumph. The friendship between them served as a vivid reminder that with determination, kindness, and a little bit of creativity, people can bring a touch of magic to the world.
