A The Buffelsdraai Landfill Site Community Reforestation Project in Durban, South Africa, is now inviting young volunteers from around the world to take part in a meaningful environmental program. Through this initiative, efforts are being made to bring forests back to the area and increase the variety of plants and animals around a former landfill site, while supporting local communities in building more sustainable ways of living. Since its launch in 2008, the project has planted over one million native trees across nearly 580 hectares (公顷) of land. These trees help absorb carbon dioxide, improve soil quality, and create habitats for wildlife. In fact, studies show that the restored forest is expected to store more than 42,000 tons of carbon dioxide by 2028, making it an important step in the fight against climate change. To support the next stage of the project, we are now recruiting (招募) global youth volunteers. Applicants should meet the following requirements: ●Be between 13 and 19 years old and have enough spare time. ●Be willing to work outdoors and take part in tree-planting activities. ●Be able to communicate in basic English and cooperate well with others. ●Be responsible, active, and ready to participate in community activities. Volunteers will mainly help plant and care for young trees, record simple environmental data, and assist local educators in organizing environmental awareness activities for children and local residents. By joining the program, volunteers will gain valuable experience in environmental protection and teamwork. Volunteers will also learn about forest ecosystems, climate change, and sustainable development through field activities and workshops. More importantly, volunteers will have the chance to make foreign friends and contribute to a meaningful global environmental effort. 21. What is the program intended to do? A. To reduce waste. B. To conduct research. C. To create employment. D. To boost biodiversity. 22. Who is qualified to apply for the program? A. A teenager speaking fluent English. B. A retired professor keen on wildlife. C. A student enjoying working indoors. D. A college student busy with graduation. 23. What can volunteers expect to gain from the program? A. Financial rewards. B. Academic credits. C. Official certificates. D. International friendships. B In 2023, Daniel Carter noticed something unusual during a visit to a local hospital. Doctors and nurses often spent a great deal of time searching for essential medical equipment such as wheelchairs and portable monitors. In some cases, they had to check several rooms before finding what they needed, which slowed down their work. At first, Daniel assumed the hospital might simply lack enough equipment. However, after talking with several nurses and technicians, he realized that the situation was more complicated than he had expected. The equipment was usually somewhere in the building, but it was difficult to know exactly where it was at any given moment. The problem stayed in Daniel’s mind long after he left the hospital. As an engineer, he began to consider whether technology could provide a practical solution. Gradually, he developed an idea: if medical devices could somehow report their location, hospital staff might be able to find them much more quickly. Daniel then started designing a simple tracking system. Small electronic tags (标签) were attached to important medical devices, and their signals could be received through a mobile application. With this tool, doctors and nurses could check the nearest available equipment in seconds instead of searching from room to room. After several months of testing and adjustments, the hospital introduced the system in several departments. Doctors and nurses soon found that equipment could be located much faster than before. Instead of searching through different rooms, they could go directly to the right place, saving valuable time during busy hours. Before long, visitors from other hospitals came to observe the system. Daniel was later invited to share his story at several healthcare conferences, where many people showed great interest in his experience. 24. What problem did Daniel first notice during his hospital visit? A. A lack of equipment. B. A severe inefficiency. C. Outdated medical devices. D. Poor staff management. 25. What does paragraph 4 stress about the new system? A. Its production cost. B. Its great popularity. C. Its working method. D. Its design inspiration. 26. Which of the following can best describe Daniel? A. Competitive and energetic. B. Considerate and ambitious. C. Innovative and resourceful. D. Demanding and determined. 27. What is the best title for the text? A. A Small Idea Ended up Making a Big Difference B. An Engineer Realized His Dream of Helping Patients C. An Invention Changed the Way People Located Others D. A Hospital Made a Fortune with Advanced Technology C Expert birdwatchers have changes in their brain structure compared with beginners, which probably help them better identify birds. When learning or practising a skill, the brain reorganises itself, strengthening and streamlining relevant pathways. This ability, known as neuroplasticity, supports the development of expertise. It is why professional musicians show structural changes in brain regions involved in hearing. To understand whether birding also shapes the brain, Erik Wing at York University in Canada and his colleagues analysed brain structure and function in 48 hobbyist birders, half experts and half beginners, as judged on a screening test. Participants were aged 22 to 79 and both groups were similar in sex, age and education. While undergoing brain scans, the participants were shown an image of a bird for less than 4 seconds. About 10 seconds later, they tried identifying the same bird in one of four images, each displaying a different species. “We intentionally picked highly confusable bird species,” says Wing. The task was repeated 72 times. In total, the researchers used images of 18 bird species — six of which were local and 12 of which weren’t — as targets. As expected, expert birders could identify birds better than beginners. On average, they accurately identified 83 per cent of local bird species and 61 per cent of the non-local ones. In contrast, beginners correctly identified 44 per cent of both groups of birds. While identifying non-local birds, activity in several brain regions increased in expert birders but not in beginners. These regions are involved in object identification, visual processing, attention and working memory. These regions also appeared more structurally complex and organised in expert birdwatchers, indicating that building expertise in birding reshapes the brain. As people age, structural complexity in the brain tends to decline. But this decline was less noticeable in expert birders, suggesting birding may help build cognitive (认知的) reserve — the brain’s ability to defend itself against ageing and adapt to damage. “However, to know whether the brain changes are truly caused by birding, researchers would need to scan the brain multiple times over months or years,” says Wing. 28. How did Erik Wing’s team conduct the study? A. By tracking participants’ habits in the wild. B. By comparing the hearing ability of two groups. C. By scanning birders’ brains after birding training. D. By testing birders’ recognition using bird pictures. 29. Why did researchers choose highly similar bird species? A. To test long-term memory of participants. B. To make the identification task take longer. C. To increase the number of local bird species. D. To better show expert birders’ identification ability. 30. What do the brain changes in expert birders suggest? A. Birding relies on multiple cognitive abilities. B. Expert birders speed up bird recognition greatly. C. Visual processing works best in bird recognition. D. Practice stabilizes the structure of the human brain. 31. What is the text mainly about? A. The observation skills needed in birding. B. The effects of birding expertise on the mind. C. The great popularity of birding among people. D. The various studies focused on bird recognition. D Is it possible that you have been living off water and cabbage juice two days a week for nothing? A recent study has concluded the evidence backing intermittent fasting (间歇性禁食) does not justify the enthusiasm for the approach to weight loss on social media. Researchers could find no good evidence that such diets outperform standard dietary advice. The study, published by the charity Cochrane, looked at 22 clinical trials involving almost 2,000 adults, and concluded that the overblown publicity outpaces the evidence. Over the course of a year it found there was no meaningful difference between the weight loss in obese (肥胖的) people put on conventional diets and those on intermittent fasting diets. The diets were popularised by Michael Mosley, the television doctor. Rather than restricting eating in general, they take the approach of limiting it only on set days, but doing so dramatically. Research in mice had suggested that fasting could not only help with weight loss, but also have significant other metabolic (新陈代谢的) benefits, including extending life. However, Luis Garegnani, the lead author of the study, said that despite their popularity there was a relative lack of research. What research there was, he said, suggested that intermittent fasting just doesn’t seem to work for overweight or obese adults trying to lose weight. People lost, at best, a few per cent of their body weight. This did not mean it was useless, he said, but it was far from a panacea. Adam Collins, associate professor of nutrition at the University of Surrey, however, said their analysis does not evaluate whether the strategy works for highly motivated people who decide to adopt this strategy of weight loss themselves. “Additionally, our several studies have suggested intermittent fasting methods may offer metabolic benefits that are independent of weight loss. This makes these approaches more useful not just for those who are overweight or living with obesity, but also for the management of metabolic disease and the maintenance of weight once it is lost,” he added. 32. What did the new study find about intermittent fasting? A. It can’t guarantee long-term physical health. B. It is not superior to normal weight-loss diets. C. It is harder to follow than conventional diets. D. It leads to slower weight loss than normal diets. 33. Why is the popularity of intermittent fasting considered misleading? A. It requires too much daily exercise. B. Most people fail to follow it strictly. C. Social media overstates its actual effects. D. Early studies on animals were inaccurate. 34. What does the underlined part “a panacea” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. A strict diet. B. A perfect solution. C. A rare lifestyle. D. A traditional treatment. 35. What does Adam Collins think of the new study? A. It ignores the potential of intermittent fasting. B. It explores possible benefits of other patterns. C. It makes some diseases more difficult to cure. D. It challenges the role of dieting in weight loss. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Zoning out mid-chat is a rude conversation habit, regardless of whether you’re speaking with a partner, friend, co-worker, family member or someone else. But learning how to be a better listener is about more than being polite. 36 These strategies will help you master this essential skill. Reduce distractions. Before anything else, make sure you’re not distracted by other things going on around you. That’ll help you give the speaker your undivided attention. Silence your phone and put it face down, turn off the TV and make sure you’re in a quiet room. 37 If you’re struggling with this, try a mental trick, like translating their words into a second language, to keep your brain sharp. Keep eye contact. Scanning the room can make a speaker feel you’re not really listening, as if there’s something more interesting happening around you. Looking away from them might also seem to indicate you’re afraid of what they’re going to say next. Aim for steady eye contact, ideally 60% to 70% of the time, to show confidence. 38 Use body language. One way to show you’re listening with your body is by using “active presence.” Instead of leaning back, which can signal disinterest, pitch (倾倒) forward slightly to show engagement. Adopting an “open” posture also helps. 39 Keeping your body open and feet pointed toward the speaker subconsciously signals that you are receptive and want to be there. 40 We’re often so concerned about how the conversation is going that instead of actively listening, we’re thinking about what we’re going to say next. But this bad habit can backfire because you may miss important information. The most effective way to improve your listening is to commit to not formulating a reply while others are speaking. It takes real discipline to stop your brain from building a comeback while someone else is talking. Just like hitting the gym or practicing an instrument, it gets easier with time. A. Hold back before speaking. B. Stop listening only to speak. C. Staying focused is not always easy. D. It forms the basis of meaningful communication. E. Too much of it, however, may cause discomfort. F. Closed body positions can create a defensive barrier. G. Direct eye contact makes shy speakers uncomfortable. 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I have long been skeptical (怀疑的) of the current overreaction about how our phones are addictive machines destroying our once pure offline world.

Consequently, I 49 much of the time I spent on my phone. There are some small 50 to my black-and-white online life. Since the 51 and decline buttons looked exactly the same in gray, I 52 pressed the wrong one and hung up on a call I meant to take. The hardest 53 was photos. My husband sent me gray pictures of a beautiful sunset. It may sound a little dramatic, but to be honest, I feel like 54 color on my phone made me more aware and more appreciative of the color and beauty in real life.

The impressions, 57 (date) to the late Iron Age, were revealed when strong winds blew away dunes (沙丘) at Lunan Bay in Angus. The footprints were spotted by two residents, Ivor Campbell and Jenny Snedden, as they walked their dogs along the shore. After noticing distinct markings in a 58 (fresh) exposed band of estuarine clay (河口黏土层) they informed Bruce Mann, an archaeologist, 59 contacted specialists at the University of Aberdeen. Within hours, a team led by Professor Kate Britton was 60 the way. Britton said: “We were dealing with a rare site and this discovery offered a direct view of the past, but it was also clear that the sea would soon take back what had so recently been revealed. We had to work fast in the 61 (bad) conditions I’ve ever encountered for archaeological fieldwork.” Within 48 hours, 62 entire site was destroyed. Analysis identified tracks from red deer, roe deer and other animals, alongside barefoot human impressions 63 (leave) in what was a muddy estuary rather than today’s sandy bay. Professor Gordon Noble said: “This is a real and direct link to the region’s past. It’s very exciting to think these prints were made by people around the time of the Roman invasions of Scotland and in the centuries leading up to the 64 (emerge) of the Picts (皮克特人).” Such sites are exceptionally unusual in Britain: only a handful of sites 65 (record) in England so far. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 假定你是李华，你校志愿者社团开展了以“文明上网、理性发声（Civilized Internet Use, Rational Expression Online）”为主题的宣传活动。请你给英国笔友Jim写一封电子邮件，分享此次活动，内容包括： （1）活动情况；（2）你的收获。 注意：（1）词数应为80个左右；（2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Jim, Yours, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 It was a rainy morning when Emily and Jack arrived at the park for a marathon. Both had trained for weeks. They ran every morning before school, even when their legs ached, and practiced pacing after dinner every night, never skipping a day no matter how tired they were. Emily hoped to finish strong, and Jack wanted to keep up with her. The rain made the path slippery, and the wind blew hard across the field. “We can do this,” Emily said. Jack nodded, feeling both excited and nervous. The race began, and they ran side by side. At first, everything went smoothly. But halfway through, Jack slipped on the muddy path and fell. “I think I twisted (扭伤) my ankle,” he said, holding it in pain. Emily stopped immediately. Their team’s goal flashed in her mind, but she pushed it aside. “Hold on, and I’ll help you,” she said. Slowly, Jack stood up, leaning on Emily for support. Step by step, they continued. The rain soaked (湿透) their clothes, and the muddy ground made every step a struggle. Jack winced (龇牙咧嘴) with each movement, and Emily’s arms felt sore and tired from supporting him. She could see other runners passing by, and a wave of frustration swept over her. They were falling behind, and her chance to finish well seemed gone. The rain grew heavier. Jack’s pace slowed to almost a walk. The thought of leaving Jack behind crossed her mind briefly. She knew that if she left him, she could still reach the finish line before the cutoff. The idea quickly passed. Jack looked both hurt and disappointed. Emily was in a dilemma between finishing the race and helping her friend. 注意：（1）词数应为150个左右；（2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Jack suddenly stopped and pulled his arm away. Emily took a deep breath and stepped closer, lifting his arm onto her shoulder again. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
