In the heart of the Amazon rainforest, a team of young scientists is working to map carbon storage in trees using drones and artificial intelligence. Led by Dr. Maria Santos, the project aims to identify areas with the highest carbon density, helping conservationists prioritize protection efforts. “We’ve already discovered that some untouched areas store three times more carbon than previously estimated,” says Santos. The data is shared freely with local communities and policymakers, encouraging sustainable land - use practices. The project, funded by a global environmental foundation, has trained over 200 local students in drone piloting and data analysis.
21. What is the main purpose of the project?
A. To train local scientists. B. To measure carbon storage in forests.
C. To replace traditional conservation methods. D. To protect the Amazon from wildfires.

When 17 - year - old Elara discovered that her coastal town’s coral reefs were dying due to rising sea temperatures, she didn’t just write a report—she started a movement. With guidance
from marine biologists, she designed low - cost “coral nurseries” using recycled materials. Local fishermen, initially skeptical, joined her after seeing fish populations return. However, a sudden storm destroyed many nurseries. Instead of giving up Elara raised funds online to rebuild them stronger. Within two years, the reef showed signs of recovery, and her model was adopted by five neighboring towns. “Courage isn’t the absence of fear,” she says, “but the decision that something else is more important.”
24. What caused the initial damage to the coral reefs?
A. Overfishing by local fishermen. B. Pollution from nearby factories.
C. Rising ocean temperatures. D. A sudden destructive storm.
25. How did Elara change the fishermen’s attitude?
A. By offering them paid jobs. B. By showing visible ecological improvement.
C. By threatening legal action. D. By partnering with marine biologists.
26. What did Elara do after the storm destroyed the nurseries?
A. She gave up the project.
B. She asked the government for help.
C. She moved the nurseries to another town.
D. She collected donations online to rebuild.
27. What does Elara’s story mainly teach us?
A. Setbacks should not stop meaningful efforts. B. Environmental action requires advanced technology.
C. Fear is a sign of weakness. D. Only adults can lead successful movements.
C
The circular economy is gaining traction as a solution to our planet’s waste problem. Unlike the traditional linear economy — which follows a “take, make, dispose” pattern — a circular economy aims to keep resources in use for as long as possible. Products are designed to be repaired, reused, or recycled, so nothing becomes waste.
Take the Dutch company Fairphone as an example. It produces smartphones with modular parts that users can easily replace themselves, such as batteries or screens. This extends the phone’s lifespan and reduces electronic waste. Another example is the French carmaker Renault, which operates a large remanufacturing plant. Old engine parts are restored to “as - new” condition, saving energy and reducing raw material extraction.
However, shifting from linear to circular is not easy. Many products are still designed to
break down quickly, a practice known as “planned obsolescence” Consumers are used to buying new instead of repairing. Governments are beginning to act: the European Union now requires certain products to be repairable for up to ten years.
Supporters say the circular economy could create millions of jobs and cut global carbon emissions by nearly 40%. But the key is changing how we think — from owning things to using services. As one expert put it, “In a circular world, waste is simply a design flaw.”
28. What does the underlined word “linear” in paragraph 1 most likely mean?
A. Following a straight line without recycling. B. Involving repeated use of materials.
C. Focusing on renewable energy. D. Prioritizing environmental protection.
29. Why does the author mention Fairphone and Renault?
A. To compare two different industries.
B. To show successful circular economy practices.
C. To criticize planned obsolescence.
D. To prove that circular economy is expensive.
30. According to the passage, what is a major barrier to the circular economy?
A. Lack of government regulations. B. Consumer habits and product design.
C. Insufficient scientific research. D. High cost of recycling technology.
31. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The circular economy can solve all environmental problems.
B. Planned obsolescence is beneficial for economic growth.
C. European companies are leading the circular economy movement.
D. Moving from a linear to a circular economy is challenging but promising.
D
In 2023, a 15 - year - old Japanese student named Kaito survived 72 hours alone in the Japanese Alps after getting separated from his classmates during a school hiking trip. The weather turned suddenly, bringing thick fog and freezing rain. Kaito slipped on a wet rock and broke his left leg. With no phone signal and limited supplies, he faced a life - or - death situation.
Remembering online survival videos he had watched for fun, Kaito crawled to a group of pine trees. He used fallen branches and his plastic raincoat to build a small shelter that protected him from wind and snow. To stay hydrated, he melted snow in his metal water bottle using body heat. He ate wild berries he had seen deer eat, testing each small amount first. At night, he
wrapped himself in an emergency blanket his mother had insisted he pack.
On the third day, he heard aircraft engines. Using the reflective side of the blanket, he flashed signals toward the sky. A rescue plane spotted him within an hour. When asked how he remained calm, Kaito said, "I just kept thinking: one thing at a time. First shelter, then water, then signal."
Psychologists explain that under extreme stress, the brain either freezes or focuses. Kaito's ability to break down a terrifying situation into small, manageable tasks — and his prior self - taught knowledge — turned potential panic into purposeful action. His story has since been used in disaster preparedness workshops across Japan.
32. What happened to Kaito during the hiking trip?
A. He fell into a river.
B. He ran out of food and water.
C. He lost his way and got injured.
D. He was left behind on purpose.
33. How did Kaito obtain his survival skills?
A. Through school first - aid courses. B. From professional training.
C. By watching online videos and practicing. D. By reading a survival manual.
34. According to psychologists, what was the key to Kaito's survival?
A. His physical strength.
B. The warmth of his shelter.
C. The help from rescue teams.
D. His calm and systematic problem - solving.
35. What does Kaito's experience suggest about facing adversity?
A. Prior preparation and emotional control are vital.
B. Fear always leads to poor decisions.
C. Young people are less capable of handling danger.
D. Technology is the only solution to survival.

How to Cultivate an Eco - Friendly Lifestyle
Living sustainably doesn't require grand gestures. Small, consistent changes in daily habits can collectively make a big difference. Here are four practical steps to start with.

3. Rethink transportation.
For short distances, walk or bike. For longer trips, consider public transit or carpooling. 38 Plus, you'll get exercise and fresh air.
4. 39
Before throwing something away, ask: Can it be repaired, donated, or repurposed? Many items, from clothing to furniture, have a second life.
Remember, perfection isn’t the goal. 40 Over time, these habits become automatic — and inspiring to others.
A. Avoid bottled water at all costs.
B. Choose quality over quantity when shopping.
C. Even one meat - free meal per week reduces carbon footprint.
D. A single flight can emit as much as a year of driving.
E. Practice the 3 Rs: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

Maya had always been afraid of heights. Not the casual “don’t look down” kind of fear, but a shaking, sweaty - palmed terror that made her avoid escalators if possible. So when her outdoor education teacher announced a rock - climbing final exam, she felt sick.
“You can choose to rappel (绕绳下降) down a 15 - meter wall or climb up,” said Mr. Chen. “Either way, you must reach the top or bottom safely.”
Maya knew she could not climb up. Just looking at the wall made her knees weak. Rappelling meant leaning backward over the edge, trusting the rope completely. That was even worse.
Her best friend, Zoe, squeezed her hand. “I’ll go first,” Zoe whispered. She climbed up easily, waved, and rappelled down with a grin. “It’s like flying!” she called.
Maya’s turn came. She stood at the top platform, harness (安全带) fastened, rope threaded. Below, the ground looked miles away. Her breath came in short gasps. “You can do this,” Mr. Chen said quietly. “The rope will hold. I will hold it.”
Maya closed her eyes. The wind felt cold on her face. She thought of all the times fear had stopped her: the ski trip she skipped, the treehouse she never climbed. She thought of her grandmother’s words: “Courage is not the absence of fear, but the decision that something else is more important.”
She opened her eyes.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;

She took a shaky step backward, her heels touching the edge.
When her feet finally touched the ground, Zoe ran to hug her.

The capital houses many interesting places. ⑲ The National Gallery has a very large collection of great paintings. ⑲ In the Tower of London, you can see the Crown Jewels which is a collection of crowns, plates and medals as well as other items. ⑲ The Houses of Parliament and ⑲ Big Ben are other well - known landmarks. Across the river, there is a giant wheel, called the ⑲ London Eye, which you can ride on.
If you are interested in history, ⑲ the British Museum is full of interesting items from all over the world. Many of them are from China.
⑲ ⑳ Westminster Abbey contains the graves of many famous British people and it is always crowded with visitors. Maybe you can find some celebrities you know rest underground here forever.
London is also famous for its theaters and there are plays to suit everyone's taste. There are also special programs for children where they can perform with professional actors. The interaction is hard for both parents and children to attempt. You can explore London and compare it with Beijing.

My Green Action
Last month, I started bringing my own cloth bag when shopping for groceries. It was a small change, but I refused plastic bags each time.
Gradually, my parents and even the shop owner noticed and began doing the same. The shop now offers discounts to customers who bring their own bags.
I learned that one small act can inspire others. Going green doesn't require grand gestures—just consistent, everyday choices. Together, we can make a difference.

She took a shaky step backward, her heels touching the edge. Her heart pounded so hard she thought it might burst. Below, the ground seemed impossibly far. One step, she told herself. Just one. She leaned back slightly, feeling the rope tighten. Her palms were sweating through the gloves. Then, she heard Zoe's voice from below: “You’ve got this, Maya!” She took another breath, then another step backward. Suddenly, her feet left the wall. For a terrifying second, she was suspended mid - air. But the rope held. Mr. Chen was right. She began to walk down the wall, her legs still shaking but her mind strangely calm.
When her feet finally touched the ground, Zoe ran to hug her. “You did it!” she screamed. Maya's legs gave way, and she sat on the dirt, laughing and crying at the same time. Mr. Chen patted her shoulder. “That took real courage,” he said. Looking up at the wall she had just descended, Maya realized her grandmother was right. The fear hadn't disappeared, but she had chosen to act anyway. From that day on, she never let fear decide for her again.
