B At 27, as a new mother, I had been wrestling with stress and worry which led me to explore acupuncture. A friend’s firm recommendation inspired me to book my first session. I chose Ora, a clinic I had visited during its grand opening in 2020, drawn to its environment and knowledgeable staff. Though the cost—$130 for an initial 65 - minute session—was high, I viewed it as an investment in my well - being. Before the appointment, I researched how to prepare: eating a meal to stabilize blood sugar and avoiding medicine to ensure relaxation. Upon arriving at Ora, I was struck by the calming atmosphere. After a brief consultation with my acupuncturist, Sian James, who evaluated my lifestyle and health concerns, I changed into a towel and lay down. James checked my tongue, noting its red tip as a sign of stress, and explained how it guided her needle placement She inserted 10 - 13 thin needles into my forehead, wrists, chest, knees, and feet. The slight pain was tolerable. and she explained that the selected points were targeted to stimulate my nervous system and release biochemicals(生化药剂)to address stress. Once the needles were in place, I rested for 20 - 25 minutes in a dimly lit room with calming music. Initially tense, I eventually relaxed, drifting into a quiet state—deeply calm yet aware of my surroundings. When James removed the needles, I felt a profound sense of quiet that lasted the entire day. She advised avoiding tiring activities to maintain the effects. While the calmness faded by Monday morning, the experience was effective. Acupuncture forced me to pause, breathe, and disconnect from life's pressures Though not a cure - all, acupuncture is a valuable tool for managing stress. As a person who struggled to unwind, I found it incredibly effective, and now, I plan to incorporate it into my routine. It's a reminder to prioritize self - care. Otherwise, I couldn't handle my busy work and daily life. 19. Why did the author decide to explore acupuncture? A. Because of a sports injury. B. Because of financial investment. C.

Busy hands make a happy heart D. A calm sea does not make a skilled sailor. C A group of blue - faced birds step through the grass shoulder to shoulder, red eyes looking around. They look like middle school students lining up to do a group task. But these are not humans—they are a special species called the blue - faced honeyeater, native to the forests of eastern Australia. Unlike most birds that raise their babies alone, these honeyeaters never work alone. Their social groups usually have 2 to 6 members, and all of them share the work of building nests, finding food and protecting baby birds. A 3 - year research by Australian biologists found that a single group of blue - faced honeyeaters can spend more than 12 hours a day looking for insects and sweet plant juice to feed their 2 or 3 little chicks. This unusual "team parenting" behavior used to puzzle scientists for a long time. For years, researchers argued about why these birds would give up their own chance to raise babies, and spend all their energy helping others. After years of field observation, the team finally found the secret: most of the "helpers" in the group are the grown-up babies of the main pair of parent birds. They choose to stay and help their parents raise new brothers and sisters, instead of going out to build their own families. The biologists also found an interesting rule: the larger the group is, the higher the survival rate of the baby birds. In small groups of 2 birds, only 28% of the chicks can grow into adults. But in groups with 5 or more members, the rate jumps to over 60%. More helpers mean more food, better protection from natural enemies, and less chance that the whole group will die from accidents. . Now the blue - faced honeyeater has become a new star in wildlife science. Their special team spirit is not just a funny natural phenomenon — it also tells us a simple truth that humans have long known: working together can create a far better result than working alone. 23. What is the special feature of the blue - faced honeyeater? A. They have blue eyes and red faces B. They finish parenting work as a team C. They can finish group tasks like humans ( D. They live alone in Australian forests 24 Why do some honeyeaters choose to be "helpers" instead of raising their own babies? A. They are not able to find their own partners B. They want to learn skills from other adult birds C. They are the grown - up kids of the parent birds in the group D. The local environment is too bad for them to build nests 25. What can we learn from the data in Paragraph 4? A. Over 60% of the baby birds can survive in all groups B. Small groups are better at protecting baby birds C. The size of the group influences the survival rate of chicks D. The honeyeaters spend 12 hours a day protecting their nests 26. What is the main purpose of this text? A. To introduce a special Australian bird and its team living behavior B. To call on people to protect the endangered blue - faced honeyeaters C. To show different kinds of parenting behaviors in the bird world D. To compare the living habits of honeyeaters and other birds D Should humans explore space? If you ask me, I'll definitely give a positive answer. The exploitation (开发) of space has a direct impact on the lives of humans, as well as the state of our world. Satellites moving around the earth enable communication across the world, connecting people of different continents and broadcasting information worldwide. The Global Positioning System (GPS) can identify our location anywhere. Furthermore, weather satellites can forecast harmful weather conditions which allows humans to prepare for deadly natural disasters and save lives. Space programs can also indirectly contribute to the solution to poverty and world hunger. For example, large plots of land could be used far better if humans applied technologies. The most effective tool is the artificial earth satellite. It can screen areas of land within a very short time, indicating useful measures such as the condition of crops, soil rainfall, and droughts. It can then transmit this information to ground stations on the earth for better use. In recent years, space - based technologies have become an important factor to reach and expand global health objectives. Information provided by remote technologies can be applied to study the epidemiology (流行病学). This data provided by space technologies can monitor disease patterns, understand the environmental causes that spread it, make predictions about where it can spread in the future, and make plans to fight it efficiently. Furthermore, access to better education means better life prospects and opportunities for human beings. Rural communities have disadvantaged access to education and satellite communication technologies are trying to bridge this gap. With the advancement of technology, students can now access any information and connect with peers and teachers in different parts of the world via video conferences and the creation of virtual classrooms. Space exploration is something we can do for future generations. Mankind is using the resources provided on the planet, but these will run out one day. Overpopulation can be an existential threat for all mankind. With the advancement of space technology, it will be wise to use and explore the vast potential of other planets, such as the availability of mining resources on asteroids or other planets. For the exploration of the universe, perhaps the most advantageous of all is that it will unite us to work together for a common purpose, regardless of our differences. 27. What can space exploitation do according to Paragraph 2? A. Improve the traffic on the earth. B. Promote travel between countries. C. Help prevent deadly natural disasters. D. Help humans communicate and exchange information. 28. How can space programs help with poverty and world hunger? A. By benefiting crop production with artificial earth satellites. B. By transporting food worldwide more easily. C. By creating job opportunities for the poor. D. By protecting available land resources. 29. What does the author think of mining resources on other planets? A. Time - wasting B. Arguable. C. Necessary. D. Educational 30. What would be the best title for the text? A. Why Space Exploration Is Important? B. Why Humankind Should Keep Exploring? C. Why We Should Improve Space Technology? D. Why Humans Should Keep Developing Technologies? 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 As is well known, making art is good for your health.
