Hirpora, a village in South Kashmir, experiences temperatures as low as -15℃ from November to March. Snowfall often covers the landscape with up to 1.8 meters of snow, blocking roads and making movement nearly impossible. Farming and daily labor stop during the winter, leaving residents to rely on stored food supplies. Lack of water only adds to the struggle, as low temperatures freeze (冻住) water tubes, forcing people to collect water from springs or melt (融化) snow.
Despite these hardships, 55-year-old Ulfata Bano sets out every day to work as a postwoman, delivering letters and parcels (包裹) to keep Hirpora connected to the outside world. She has been working at the Hirpora post office for over 30 years, facing winters when snow reaches around one meter deep. Some homes remain cut off due to heavy snow, and in such cases, Ulfata will walk several kilometers.
Earning 240 dollars per month, Ulfata delivers 20 to 25 pieces of post daily, including heavy parcels. She occasionally depends on family members for transport but mostly walks to her destinations. The physical demands of her job are high, but she finds meaning in it. “Walking several kilometers daily keeps me physically fit. There are hardships, but my job requires me to overcome them,” she says.
For students in Hirpora, who rely entirely on her to receive their study materials and books, Ulfata’s work is invaluable. “Braving extreme cold, she delivers parcels with commitment. Her work makes it possible for students like me to stay connected to our studies. Ulfata is more than just a postwoman — she is a bridge connecting us to the outside world,” says Shahid Ahmad, a local student.
When asked what keeps her going despite 30 years as a postwoman, Ulfata replies, “It is the sense of duty and the smiles of those who rely on me that keep me going. Knowing that my deliveries help students study and families stay connected makes every step through the snow worthwhile.” For as long as she can, Ulfata will continue to walk through the snow, carrying letters, parcels, and the warmth of human connection.
4. Why does the author describe Hirpora in winter in paragraph 1?
A. To demonstrate Ulfata’s multi-work ability.
B. To introduce the village’s backwardness.
C. To illustrate Ulfata’s work environment.
D. To praise Hirpora’s beautiful scenery.
5. What can we say about Ulfata’s job?
A. Challenging but purposeful. B. Well-paid but stressful.
C. Competitive and tiring. D. Necessary and comfortable.
6. What does Shahid most probably think of Ulfata?
A. Elegant. B. Awkward. C. Humorous. D. Respectable.
7. What drives Ulfata to continue her job?
A. Her bonds with the community. B. Government recognition and trust.
C. Economic pressure of her family. D. Personal fitness and health benefits.
C
Researchers from the University of Buenos Aires have successfully used a robotic tutor to teach the male chingolo, a kind of small bird in South America, a song that was once part of the species’ culture but had been lost for more than half a century.
Male chingolos learn their unique, two-second melody from adult males. “It is a distinctive song — like a fingerprint, but learned,” says one of the researchers. “It serves to attract females and protect territory. It is the bird’s way of saying, “This is me, and here I am.” However, urbanization and habitat loss have broken this learning chain, causing local song “dialects” to disappear.
Driven by this problem, researchers took on a pioneering task: bringing back a song that had disappeared from the wild — known only from a musical record made in the 1960s — to a population of chingolos.
Using physics-based modeling of the bird’s vocal tract (声道) , the team first created an accurate artificial version of the lost song. They then engineered this model into a physical device designed to broadcast the forgotten melody — a “robotic tutor.” This artificial song was introduced to the chingolos in the park during their critical learning period from October to February. The sessions took place during peak singing hours and were limited to a maximum of eight hours. There were random pauses (停顿) in between so that the birds interpreted the playback from the three devices placed in the area as a real exchange, as if these devices were responding to each other. This stimulated the birds’ vocal responses.
The results were impressive. Young chingolos learned and adopted the song, though they added their own population’s “accent” to the final trill (颤音) , which showed that their singing is shaped by learned behaviors and inborn characteristics.
“This is about preserving not just genetic, but cultural biodiversity,” says another researcher. The team is now developing AI systems to automatically identify individual bird songs and planning to study cultural spread in bird populations to ensure that bird culture is not lost again.
8. Why did the researchers teach the birds the song?
A. To save an endangered species. B. To study the birds’ brain structure.
C. To develop new robotic devices. D. To preserve the birds’ cultural heritage.
9. What is a role of chingolos’ song?
A. It keeps hunters away from them. B. It helps them adapt to urban growth.
C. It functions as their social identity. D. It makes them remember their habitat.
10. What is the purpose of the random pauses?
A. To protect the birds’ vocal tract. B. To test the birds’ reaction speed.
C. To push the birds to catch the beat. D. To trick the birds into interaction.
11. What can we learn from chingolos’ learning results?
A. The song has spread to other bird species. B. Their singing shows special vocal features.
C. Their response to the song needs improving. D. The effectiveness depends on their population.
D
Tired of standing in line? Wait a bit longer, and you may never have to again. Everyone from Amazon to Silicon Valley start-ups is trying to eliminate lines in retail (零售) stores.
Amazon has opened 24 of its Amazon Go stores, which use cameras and artificial intelligence (AI) to see what you’ve taken off shelves and charge you as you walk out. Some start-ups are closely copying Amazon’s approach to using AI-powered cameras fixed in ceilings. But others are trying an entirely different way to skip the checkout: smart shopping carts. These companies have added cameras and sensors (传感器) to the carts, and are using AI to tell what you’ve placed in them. A built-in scale weighs items, in case you have to pay by the pound for an item. Customers pay by using a credit card, or through an online payment system. When customers exit the store, a green light on the shopping cart indicates that their orders are complete, and they’re charged.
The start-ups behind the smart shopping carts, including Caper and Veeve, say it’s much easier to add technology to the shopping cart than to an entire store. Amazon Go stores rely on hundreds of cameras in the ceiling. The shelves also include sensors to tell when an item is removed. Ahmed Beshry, cofounder of Caper, believes the technology to run Amazon Go is too expensive to use in a large grocery store. Neither Caper nor Veeve has said how much their smart shopping carts will cost, making it difficult to compare the different formats. Shariq Siddiqui, CEO of Veeve, said he’s finding increased interest from retailers given Amazon’s steady expansion of Amazon Go since the first Amazon Go store opened in Seattle in 2018. “We’re always happy when Amazon is doing something,” Siddiqui said. “They force retailers to get out of their old-school thinking.”
Each time a business uses artificial intelligence and cameras, it raises questions about customer privacy and the impact on jobs. Beshry notes that the cameras in his smart shopping cart point down into the cart, so only customers’ hands and part of their arms will be captured (拍摄) by cameras.
12. Which of the following best explains “eliminate” underlined in paragraph 1?
A. Shift. B. Break. C. Extend. D. Remove.
13. What do we know about the smart shopping carts?
A. They are linked to the cameras fixed in the ceilings.
B. They are able to recognize purchases placed in them.
C. They flash the green light when the order is cancelled.
D. They can tell customers where to find what they want.
14. What does Beshry think of the technology applied in Amazon Go stores?
A. It is far more expensive than their smart shopping carts.
B. It has attracted many more retailers than before.
C. It may increase the cost of running a large grocery store greatly.
D. It is likely to help retailers to think differently.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. The New Technology Promotes Retail Sales
B. AI-powered Cameras Are Used in Retail Stores
C. Artificial Intelligence Affects the Future Job Market
D. Smart Shopping Carts Will Let You Skip the Line

Managing Test Anxiety: A Practical Guide
Test anxiety is a common experience among students. It may bring feelings of worry and even physical discomfort before or during exams. While some pressure can help you study, too much anxiety hurts performance. ____16____.
Preparation is your most powerful weapon. ____17____ Make a study plan early, and break your material into small parts. Active recall — testing yourself instead of just reading notes — helps build stronger memory. When you know the material well, you will feel more confident.
On the day of the exam, your physical state affects your mental performance. Get enough sleep — staying up all night does more harm than good. Eat a balanced meal before the exam; your brain needs energy. ____18____ Deep breathing exercises, if practiced ahead of time, can help calm you down during the test.
____19____When you get the exam paper, take a minute to read through it. This gives you a clear picture and reduces uncertainty. Start with easier questions — this builds your confidence. If you meet a difficult question, mark it and move on. Coming back to it later often helps you find the answer.
Perhaps most importantly, fight negative thoughts. Anxiety feeds on thoughts like “I’m going to fail” or “Everyone else understands this but me.” ____20____Replace “I’m going to fail” with “I’ve prepared well, and I’ll do my best.” This change in thinking stops the anxiety cycle and helps you see things clearly.
Remember, the goal is not perfection — it is to show what you have learned. With regular practice, you can turn test anxiety from a problem into something you can handle.
A. Also, take a few minutes to relax before the exam.
B. Don’t wait until the last minute to start studying.
C. Arrive early to avoid last — minute stress.
D. Form study groups to discuss hard topics with classmates.
E. Have a clear plan when you start the exam.
F. These thoughts are signs of anxiety, not true predictions.
G. The good news is that you can manage test anxiety with some simple strategies.

Kenzie walked home from the bus stop. She really missed her best friend Holly, who was at home recovering from surgery and was going to stay home from school for the next two weeks!
“When my mom was in the hospital after my baby brother Nathan was born, people brought her gifts,” thought Kenzie. “I should bring a gift to Holly!” So, Kenzie planned to visit Holly after school next Friday. However, Kenzie was lost in thought. She wanted to give Holly something meaningful and special. But her family was saving money for a new car, and she knew it wasn’t the time to spend a lot of money. Arriving home, Kenzie sank into the sofa. Later, while her mother prepared dinner, Kenzie told her about Holly and the gift thing, adding that she hoped to prepare something meaningful and special. She wondered how she could do that without a lot of money.
“I know you can do it. You’re creative,” encouraged Mom.“You don’t need to spend a lot of money to show your care.” Kenzie nodded thoughtfully, her mind racing to find a possible solution.
The next Monday, Kenzie and her brother Nathan had dentist appointments. They opened their goody bags (小礼品袋) from their considerate dentist on the way home.Inside were the usual toothbrush and toothpaste along with a few other meaningful and special things including super cute photos of their first dental experience, hand-made toys and cards. Nathan said it was fun to find these little surprises. Suddenly, she realized Nathan had just given her an idea for Holly’s gift. She would make little things that would be special and meaningful to Holly. Over the next few days, she thought hard about her plan.

Hirpora, a village in South Kashmir, experiences temperatures as low as -15℃ from November to March. Snowfall often covers the landscape with up to 1.8 meters of snow, blocking roads and making movement nearly impossible. Farming and daily labor stop during the winter, leaving residents to rely on stored food supplies. Lack of water only adds to the struggle, as low temperatures freeze (冻住) water tubes, forcing people to collect water from springs or melt (融化) snow.
Despite these hardships, 55-year-old Ulfata Bano sets out every day to work as a postwoman, delivering letters and parcels (包裹) to keep Hirpora connected to the outside world. She has been working at the Hirpora post office for over 30 years, facing winters when snow reaches around one meter deep. Some homes remain cut off due to heavy snow, and in such cases, Ulfata will walk several kilometers.
Earning 240 dollars per month, Ulfata delivers 20 to 25 pieces of post daily, including heavy parcels. She occasionally depends on family members for transport but mostly walks to her destinations. The physical demands of her job are high, but she finds meaning in it. “Walking several kilometers daily keeps me physically fit. There are hardships, but my job requires me to overcome them,” she says.
For students in Hirpora, who rely entirely on her to receive their study materials and books, Ulfata’s work is invaluable. “Braving extreme cold, she delivers parcels with commitment. Her work makes it possible for students like me to stay connected to our studies. Ulfata is more than just a postwoman — she is a bridge connecting us to the outside world,” says Shahid Ahmad, a local student.
When asked what keeps her going despite 30 years as a postwoman, Ulfata replies, “It is the sense of duty and the smiles of those who rely on me that keep me going. Knowing that my deliveries help students study and families stay connected makes every step through the snow worthwhile.” For as long as she can, Ulfata will continue to walk through the snow, carrying letters, parcels, and the warmth of human connection.

Researchers from the University of Buenos Aires have successfully used a robotic tutor to teach the male chingolo, a kind of small bird in South America, a song that was once part of the species’ culture but had been lost for more than half a century.
Male chingolos learn their unique, two-second melody from adult males. “It is a distinctive song — like a fingerprint, but learned,” says one of the researchers. “It serves to attract females and protect territory. It is the bird’s way of saying, “This is me, and here I am.” However, urbanization and habitat loss have broken this learning chain, causing local song “dialects” to disappear.
Driven by this problem, researchers took on a pioneering task: bringing back a song that had disappeared from the wild — known only from a musical record made in the 1960s — to a population of chingolos.
Using physics-based modeling of the bird’s vocal tract (声道) , the team first created an accurate artificial version of the lost song. They then engineered this model into a physical device designed to broadcast the forgotten melody — a “robotic tutor.” This artificial song was introduced to the chingolos in the park during their critical learning period from October to February. The sessions took place during peak singing hours and were limited to a maximum of eight hours. There were random pauses (停顿) in between so that the birds interpreted the playback from the three devices placed in the area as a real exchange, as if these devices were responding to each other. This stimulated the birds’ vocal responses.
The results were impressive. Young chingolos learned and adopted the song, though they added their own population’s “accent” to the final trill (颤音) , which showed that their singing is shaped by learned behaviors and inborn characteristics.
“This is about preserving not just genetic, but cultural biodiversity,” says another researcher. The team is now developing AI systems to automatically identify individual bird songs and planning to study cultural spread in bird populations to ensure that bird culture is not lost again.
8. Why did the researchers teach the birds the song?
A. To save an endangered species. B. To study the birds’ brain structure.
C. To develop new robotic devices. D. To preserve the birds’ cultural heritage.
9. What is a role of chingolos’ song?
A. It keeps hunters away from them. B. It helps them adapt to urban growth.
C. It functions as their social identity. D. It makes them remember their habitat.
10. What is the purpose of the random pauses?
A. To protect the birds’ vocal tract. B. To test the birds’ reaction speed.
C. To push the birds to catch the beat. D. To trick the birds into interaction.
11. What can we learn from chingolos’ learning results?
A. The song has spread to other bird species. B. Their singing shows special vocal features.
C. Their response to the song needs improving. D. The effectiveness depends on their population.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. B

Tired of standing in line? Wait a bit longer, and you may never have to again. Everyone from Amazon to Silicon Valley start-ups is trying to eliminate lines in retail (零售) stores.
Amazon has opened 24 of its Amazon Go stores, which use cameras and artificial intelligence (AI) to see what you’ve taken off shelves and charge you as you walk out. Some start-ups are closely copying Amazon’s approach to using AI-powered cameras fixed in ceilings. But others are trying an entirely different way to skip the checkout: smart shopping carts. These companies have added cameras and sensors (传感器) to the carts, and are using AI to tell what you’ve placed in them. A built-in scale weighs items, in case you have to pay by the pound for an item. Customers pay by using a credit card, or through an online payment system. When customers exit the store, a green light on the shopping cart indicates that their orders are complete, and they’re charged.
The start-ups behind the smart shopping carts, including Caper and Veeve, say it’s much easier to add technology to the shopping cart than to an entire store. Amazon Go stores rely on hundreds of cameras in the ceiling. The shelves also include sensors to tell when an item is removed. Ahmed Beshry, cofounder of Caper, believes the technology to run Amazon Go is too expensive to use in a large grocery store. Neither Caper nor Veeve has said how much their smart shopping carts will cost, making it difficult to compare the different formats. Shariq Siddiqui, CEO of Veeve, said he’s finding increased interest from retailers given Amazon’s steady expansion of Amazon Go since the first Amazon Go store opened in Seattle in 2018. “We’re always happy when Amazon is doing something,” Siddiqui said. “They force retailers to get out of their old-school thinking.”
Each time a business uses artificial intelligence and cameras, it raises questions about customer privacy and the impact on jobs. Beshry notes that the cameras in his smart shopping cart point down into the cart, so only customers’ hands and part of their arms will be captured (拍摄) by cameras.
12. Which of the following best explains “eliminate” underlined in paragraph 1?
A. Shift. B. Break. C. Extend. D. Remove.
13. What do we know about the smart shopping carts?
A. They are linked to the cameras fixed in the ceilings.
B. They are able to recognize purchases placed in them.
C. They flash the green light when the order is cancelled.
D. They can tell customers where to find what they want.
14. What does Beshry think of the technology applied in Amazon Go stores?
A. It is far more expensive than their smart shopping carts.
B. It has attracted many more retailers than before.
C. It may increase the cost of running a large grocery store greatly.
D. It is likely to help retailers to think differently.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. The New Technology Promotes Retail Sales
B. AI-powered Cameras Are Used in Retail Stores
C. Artificial Intelligence Affects the Future Job Market
D. Smart Shopping Carts Will Let You Skip the Line
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. D

Managing Test Anxiety: A Practical Guide
Test anxiety is a common experience among students. It may bring feelings of worry and even physical discomfort before or during exams. While some pressure can help you study, too much anxiety hurts performance. ____16____.
Preparation is your most powerful weapon. ____17____ Make a study plan early, and break your material into small parts. Active recall — testing yourself instead of just reading notes — helps build stronger memory. When you know the material well, you will feel more confident.
On the day of the exam, your physical state affects your mental performance. Get enough sleep — staying up all night does more harm than good. Eat a balanced meal before the exam; your brain needs energy. ____18____ Deep breathing exercises, if practiced ahead of time, can help calm you down during the test.
____19____When you get the exam paper, take a minute to read through it. This gives you a clear picture and reduces uncertainty. Start with easier questions — this builds your confidence. If you meet a difficult question, mark it and move on. Coming back to it later often helps you find the answer.
Perhaps most importantly, fight negative thoughts. Anxiety feeds on thoughts like “I’m going to fail” or “Everyone else understands this but me.” ____20____Replace “I’m going to fail” with “I’ve prepared well, and I’ll do my best.” This change in thinking stops the anxiety cycle and helps you see things clearly.
Remember, the goal is not perfection — it is to show what you have learned. With regular practice, you can turn test anxiety from a problem into something you can handle.
A. Also, take a few minutes to relax before the exam.
B. Don’t wait until the last minute to start studying.
C. Arrive early to avoid last — minute stress.
D. Form study groups to discuss hard topics with classmates.
E. Have a clear plan when you start the exam.
F. These thoughts are signs of anxiety, not true predictions.
G. The good news is that you can manage test anxiety with some simple strategies.

Kenzie walked home from the bus stop. She really missed her best friend Holly, who was at home recovering from surgery and was going to stay home from school for the next two weeks!
“When my mom was in the hospital after my baby brother Nathan was born, people brought her gifts,” thought Kenzie. “I should bring a gift to Holly!” So, Kenzie planned to visit Holly after school next Friday. However, Kenzie was lost in thought. She wanted to give Holly something meaningful and special. But her family was saving money for a new car, and she knew it wasn’t the time to spend a lot of money. Arriving home, Kenzie sank into the sofa. Later, while her mother prepared dinner, Kenzie told her about Holly and the gift thing, adding that she hoped to prepare something meaningful and special. She wondered how she could do that without a lot of money.
“I know you can do it. You’re creative,” encouraged Mom.“You don’t need to spend a lot of money to show your care.” Kenzie nodded thoughtfully, her mind racing to find a possible solution.
The next Monday, Kenzie and her brother Nathan had dentist appointments. They opened their goody bags (小礼品袋) from their considerate dentist on the way home.Inside were the usual toothbrush and toothpaste along with a few other meaningful and special things including super cute photos of their first dental experience, hand-made toys and cards. Nathan said it was fun to find these little surprises. Suddenly, she realized Nathan had just given her an idea for Holly’s gift. She would make little things that would be special and meaningful to Holly. Over the next few days, she thought hard about her plan.

【答案】【参考范文】
“What surprises should be in my goody bag for Holly?” Kenzie thought to herself. She sat at her desk, surrounded by colorful paper, stickers, and pencils, eager to fill the bag with her sincere love. She firstly drew a lovely card decorated with tiny hearts and smiling sunflowers, inside which she wrote down all their sweetest and most unforgettable school memories. Recalling what her mother once had told her, she also made a bunch of delicate paper flowers, coloring them lively and vivid to add warmth and joy. Every single gift was made with great care. Kenzie truly hoped these meaningful and special surprises would remind Holly how deeply she was cherished and missed.
On that Friday, Kenzie visited Holly with her gift. The moment Holly caught sight of the carefully decorated goody bag, her eyes lit up instantly and a bright smile flashed across her face. She opened it gently and examined every handmade treasure with great delight. Warmth and joy flooded her heart as she looked through the card and paper flowers. She immediately threw her arms around Kenzie tightly, saying it was the sweetest and most heartfelt gift she had ever received. Seeing Holly so touched and happy, Kenzie was filled with a strong sense of fulfillment. At that moment, she realized that the most valuable gifts are not those bought with money, but the ones with genuine love and precious friendship.
