Carlos Magdalena, known as the “plant savior,” is a plant researcher at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, in London. He travels the world saving endangered plants from near extinction. While many conservation headlines focus on animals like whales, Magdalena argues that plants deserve equal attention. “Plants are the magicians of our universe,” he says.
Magdalena’s journey began with a shrub (灌木) called café marron from the island of Rodrigues. Thought to be extinct for most of the 20th century, a single survivor was found in 1980. Kew Gardens received a cutting, but experts could not get it to produce seeds. When Magdalena arrived in 2003, he experimented by changing the way he handled the flowers and growing the plant in warmer conditions. Suddenly, he succeeded in propagating it. The plant was later reintroduced to Rodrigues. This taught him a valuable lesson: even if a plant cannot be saved now, we may be able to save it in the future.
Another famous rescue involved the pygmy lily from Rwanda. Seeds from a German university had failed to grow. One night while cooking dinner, Magdalena had a breakthrough: the young leaves needed more CO2 from the air. He placed the seeds just one to two millimeters below the water’s surface, allowing the leaves to breathe. It worked. His dedication, he admits, is often misunderstood, but it makes incredible things possible.
Magdalena also discovered a giant water lily in Bolivia. At first glance, he knew it was different from the two known species. After years of research, including DNA analysis, he and his team confirmed it as a new species: Victoria boliviana, with leaves ten feet wide. “What else is out there?” he wonders. With up to 100,000 plant species still undiscovered, Magdalena’s mission is far from complete. He believes that protecting plants means protecting the base of life on Earth.
24. What does the underlined word “propagating” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Discovering. B. Recording. C. Increasing. D. Controlling.
25. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. The rescue of the pygmy lily. B. The value of CO2 for plants.
C. The research on a new species. D. The difficulty of growing seeds.
26. What can be learned about Magdalena from the last paragraph?
A. He knows all plants in the world clearly.
B. He has discovered 100,000 plant species.
C. He teaches many students to study plants.
D. He will continue his plant protection work.
27. Which of the following can best describe Magdalena?
A. Brave and humorous. B. Devoted and creative.
C. Honest and confident. D. Calm and careful.
C
One year after his death, a generative AI version of actor Val Kilmer is set to appear in an independent film titled As Deep as the Grave. Kilmer, best known for playing “Iceman” in Top Gun, had signed on for the movie before he passed away but could not perform due to his declining health.
Kilmer died at age 65 from pneumonia (肺炎) last April. In 2014, he was diagnosed with throat cancer, which led to multiple surgeries and eventually cost him his natural speaking voice. Before his death, Kilmer worked with an AI company to digitally recreate his voice—a technology that was already used in Top Gun: Maverick.
The actor’s family has given permission for his digital image to be used in the new film and will receive payment for it. His daughter, Mercedes Kilmer, said the role deeply appealed to her father, who was part Native American. The film is based on a true story about archaeologists (考古学家) in Arizona uncovering Native American history.
The use of AI in filmmaking has become highly debatable in Hollywood. Recently, a company called Xicoia launched an AI actor named “Tilly Norwood” and even released her first music video. The actors’ union, SAG-AFTRA, has publicly criticized such uses of AI actors. However, according to union rules, digital representations of performers are allowed if the actors give their approval. If an actor has died, permission must be provided by a legal representative or the union itself.
For their new film, the filmmakers, writer-director Coerte Voorhees and producer John Voorhees, said in an email, “We believe we are serving as a demonstrator for how to do it ethically and correctly, especially when working with the family of the late actor Kilmer.”
As As Deep as the Grave aims for release later this year, it raises important questions: Should AI bring back departed actors for new roles? And where should the line be drawn between artistic possibility and respect for the dead?
28. Why was Kilmer able to have voice performance in Top Gun: Maverick?
A. He received voice treatment. B. He turned to a singer for help.
C. AI helped rebuild his lost voice. D. He practiced speaking to recover.
29. What can be concluded about the production of the new film?
A. It followed the rules set by the actors’ union.
B. It was criticized by the actors’ union publicly.
C. It was opposed by Kilmer’s family members.
D. It was produced without the union’s approval.
30. What does the last paragraph suggest?
A. Artists refuse to use AI technology.
B. AI can fully replace real actors in films.
C. AI use in films causes wide concern.
D. The public ignores AI’s moral problems.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Rise of Independent Film Industry
B. SAG-AFTRA Criticizes New Music Video
C. Val Kilmer’s Final Battle with Pneumonia
D. AI Brings a Departed Actor Back to the Screen
D
As bubbles rippled across a frozen Finnish lake, diver Daan Jacobs surfaced from a hole carved into thick ice. He had just spent 45 minutes eight meters below the surface, where sunlight shone through the Arctic ice and fish swam around rocks. It is a remote world few will ever see, especially in winter, when temperatures on land can drop to minus 40 degrees.
Jacobs is a biodiversity adviser from the Netherlands, but he is also one of a growing number of people trained to dive under polar ice. He recently took part in a Polar Scientific Diving class in northern Finland. The program, designed by the Finnish Scientific Diving Academy, aims to train the next generation of scientists to study life beneath the Arctic and Antarctic ice.
Why is this training so urgent? The Arctic is warming four times faster than the rest of the planet. Higher temperatures cause polar bears to become weaker and hungrier because they depend on sea ice to hunt. In Antarctica, melting ice sheets are raising sea levels and disrupting ocean ecosystems. To understand how climate change affects plants and animals that live under the ice, scientists need to go there themselves. However, experts say only a few hundred people in the world have the necessary diving skills and scientific background.
According to British Antarctic Survey marine biologist Simon Morley, dragging nets across the seafloor would destroy the habitat, and robots can usually pick up only one specimen (样本) at a time. “A diver can go down and pick up 12 urchins (海胆), put them in a bag without affecting the rest of the system,” Morley explained.
During the training, students must learn to dive under ice nearly a meter thick in water just above freezing. They also face freezing air temperatures and strong winds. The topside support team must operate equipment to keep divers safe while avoiding frostbite. Divers must also learn to handle emergencies, such as when someone cannot find the exit hole.
Despite the difficulties, the divers describe the experience as incredible. “It looks incredible from beneath the ice,” said Caroline Chen, a scientific diver.
32. What does the author want to show by mentioning polar bears in paragraph 3?
A. Their living and hunting habits. B. The bad effect of Arctic warming.
C. The difficulties they face in winter. D. Their value in the Arctic food chain.
33. What does Simon Morley think of human divers?
A. They are necessary for the research. B. They destroy the living environment.
C. They are replaced by robots completely. D. They work more slowly than machines.
34. What can we learn about the training?
A. It is fit for all common divers. B. It is dangerous and challenging.
C. It occurs in Antarctic coastal areas. D. It needs no support from the topside.
35. What is the writer’s purpose in writing this text?
A. To tell risks of sea level rising. B. To show beauty under Arctic ice.
C. To call on protecting polar bears. D. To introduce polar scientific diving.

In the modern era of romance, technology plays a big role in how we connect with partners. Video calls and phone calls are great for deep conversations, but texting is the most popular way for daily communication. This allows couples to stay connected throughout the day without interrupting work or school. 36 . The way you text matters as much as the words you choose. Here are useful texting strategies to grow closer to your partner.
● Reply to messages in a timely manner. In the early stages of a relationship, trust hasn’t fully been built yet. 37 . Many young adults prefer a response within fifteen minutes. This doesn’t mean you have to be tied to your phone. It just shows your partner that they are a priority, making it clear you’re interested and reliable.
● Find a healthy balance. Constant messaging may seem romantic at first, but it can cause burnout. Texting too much can make you run out of topics or feel tired. 38 . The key is to find a rhythm that works for both of you. It’s healthy to take breaks and focus on your own life.
● Clarify your expectations. 39 . Some people like frequent updates, while others save meaningful talks for the evening. Misunderstandings happen when expectations don’t match. Do what you promise, and avoid overanalyzing silence. An unanswered message usually means your partner is busy, not upset.
● 40 . Texting is useful but shouldn’t replace face-to-face interaction. Being too dependent on smartphones lowers relationship satisfaction. Set aside time to disconnect from your devices. Use texting for quick thoughts or setting dates, and save deep talks for when you’re together.
A. Know when to unplug
B. However, just sending messages is not enough
C. Learn to express your feelings directly in person
D. Every couple has different communication styles
E. Texting too little may make your partner feel ignored
F. Replying within a reasonable time helps build a sense of security
G. But deep and warm communication requires more than simple texts

Professor Dan Hansong from Nanjing University has noticed a 56 (worry) trend among English majors: many struggle with reading long novels or even short stories. He believes this lack of 57 (patient) is a global issue in educational contexts. The rapid rise of artificial intelligence has made students increasingly reliant on new technologies for reading and writing, weakening their ability to focus. The idea of reading a classic like Crime and Punishment, from cover to cover in a short time has become almost unimaginable. Even reading 100 to 200 pages is often viewed as 58 challenge.
In response, China has taken action. On February 1, a new regulation to promote reading 59 (take) effect. It aims to improve public reading facilities to support both digital 60 traditional reading. Premier Li Qiang has also highlighted the need 61 (strengthen) the national reading promotion system. These efforts are part of the 15th Five-Year Plan.

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。
The morning started with rain pattering gently against the window. Twelve-year-old Mia sat quietly on her bed, watching raindrops race down the glass, her heart as heavy as the dark clouds outside. Downstairs, her parents’ voices rose and fell with sharp tension, making her sink deeper into her pillow (枕头). “Can’t they just talk without shouting?” she whispered to Whiskers, her cat, who rubbed against her leg as if sharing her sadness.
Mia’s family was under great stress recently. Her father, an architect, buried himself in work and stayed out late every night. Her mother, a nurse, was frequently on call and seldom rested at home. They hardly had meals together, and whenever they met, quarrels (争吵) broke out easily. Mia felt as if she were walking on eggshells at home, and her younger brother Josh shut himself in his room, losing himself in video games to avoid the uncomfortable atmosphere.
That day, Mia’s class took part in a special communication workshop at the Community Center. Ms. Patel, a kind family mediator (调解人), taught students how to express their true feelings and practice active listening. At first, Mia considered the activities meaningless, but she soon learned the power of sincere words and patient listening. She practiced with her friends Oliver and Emma, learning to speak gently instead of keeping quiet and to listen carefully instead of cutting in.
When Mia shared her family troubles with her friends, she received warm encouragement from them, which gave her much courage. “You’re brave for wanting to talk to them,” Emma said softly. Oliver nodded in agreement, adding, “Your efforts will definitely make a difference.”
The next morning, she asked her father and mother nervously if they could have a talk after dinner. Surprised but gentle, her parents agreed immediately.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
After dinner, Mia sat with her parents at the dining table.
In the following days, sweet changes took place at home.

Magdalena通过改变处理花朵的方式和调整生长条件,最终成功propagating它。根据上下文可推断,

度拯救卢旺达的侏儒睡莲(pygmy lily)。

本文是一篇说明文。演员Val Kilmer去世一年后,其AI数字形象将参演新片,这一事件也引发了业界对
AI在影视中应用以及艺术创作与尊重逝者之间界限的讨论。
28.C细节理解题。根据第二段“Before his death,Kilmer worked with an AI company to digitally recreate his
voice--a technology that was already used in Top Gun:averick.”可知,Kilmer能在《壮志凌云2:独行侠》
中有声音表演是因为人工智能帮助重建了他失去的声音。
29.A推理判断题。根据第四段“The actors'union,SAG-AFTRA..However,.according to union rules,
digital representations of performers are allowed if the actors give their approval.If an actor has died,

dragging nets across the seafloor would destroy the habitat,and robots can usually pick up only one specimen
(样本)at a time.‘A diver can go down and pick up 12 urchinst(海胆),put them in a bag without affecting
the rest of the system,’Morley explained..”可知,Simon Morley认为用网拖过海底会a破坏栖息地,机器人一
次通常只能采集一个样本,而潜水员可以采集多个样本且不影响其他系统。由此可推断,他认为人类潜水
员对研究是必要的。
34.B细节理解题。根据第五段可知,在训练中,学生要在近一米厚的冰下潜水,水温接近冰点,还要面对寒冷
的空气温度和强风,水面支持团队要操作设备保证潜水员安全且避免冻伤,潜水员还要学会处理紧急情况。
由此可知,训练是危险且具有挑战性的

I miss the days when we laughed together,and I feel sad when you argue all the time."Hearing her words,her
father sighed and held her hand tightly,apologizing for having ignored the family.Her mother,eyes filled with
tears,promised to spend more time together on weekends and communicate calmly.A heavy weight was lifted
off Mia's shoulders at that moment.
In the following days,sweet changes took place at home.Mia's parents began to cherish the time they
spent with each other,and cooked and cleaned together on weekends.Josh even put aside his games and joined
the family talks.Mia came to realize that small conflicts are common in every family,but mutual understanding
can melt all coldness.The rain had stopped,and warmth returned to her home.Through sincere communication,her
family walked out of the dark days and embraced a peaceful and loving life again.
