The burns can naturally clean the forest floor.
Today, experts use this idea for “controlled burning”. Under safe weather conditions, they carefully set small fires 19 away dead leaves, fallen branches, and dry bushes — materials that could make a future wildfire far more dangerous. The fires also make space for sunlight and allow new plants to grow.
This method doesn’t prevent all forest fires, 20 it is a smart way to stop the really big ones. Sometimes, the best way to stay safe is to work with nature rather than fight against it.

Some of the most useful inventions started out as “failures”. 21 1968, a scientist named Spencer Silver was trying to create a super-strong glue. Unexpectedly, he made the opposite: a very weak, reusable one. 22 knew what to do with it so that this “mistake” sat on a shelf for a long time.
The “Aha!” moment came 6 years later. Silver’s friend, Art Fry, was always annoyed that 23 paper bookmarks kept falling out. Then he remembered Silver’s “useless” weak glue. In a flash of inspiration, he put a little of that glue on the bookmark. It stuck firmly to the page, but could be lifted away easily without leaving a mark. The first sticky note was born.
Today, these sticky notes are everywhere. The story reminds us that a creative mind 24 turn something useless into a great invention.

Fifty-five years ago, the 31st World Table Tennis Championships were held in Nagoya, Japan. One day, American player Glenn Cowan got on the Chinese team’s bus 29 . Instead of asking him to leave, the Chinese player Zhuang Zedong greeted him warmly and gave him a beautiful silk product as a gift. This friendly meeting on a bus started the famous “Ping-Pong Diplomacy (外交)” and helped to 30 the gap between the two nations.
Earlier this year, some of the players from that historic moment met again in Beijing. They shared old 31 and played a friendly match to celebrate the 55th anniversary (周年纪念日). Although much in the world has changed, the friendship that began on the bus remains strong.

B. Choose the best answer(根据以下内容,选择最恰当的答案)(每题 2 分,共 10 分)
Not long ago, the hottest trainers were like gold. People waited in long lines for hours, and rare pairs sold for crazy prices online. But look around now — the lines are gone, and those same “limited” trainers are often on sale. What happened to the trainer culture?
First, fashion moved on. Those heavy, colourful styles that were fashionable a few years ago have lost their shine. Today’s popular designs are simpler and made for actual sports, not just for show.
Besides, companies flooded the market. In the past, brands would sell only a small number of limited-edition trainers to make them seem special. But recently, seeing the chance to make more money, they have pumped out their products, even bringing back old “rare” ones. When everyone can get a pair, the excitement disappears.
In addition, people’s tastes changed. Trainer collectors are now turning to boots, loafers (乐福鞋) and sandals. Footwear companies are quickly following the trend, making their own shoes of these popular styles.
The result? The “trainer culture” is not as hot as before. The second-hand market for trading trainers is cooling fast. Some popular resale websites even had to shut down. As one expert said, “It now takes a truly special story — like one worn by a famous athlete — to ask for a high price”.
In short, the trainer craze is not dead, but its culture has broken. The market is getting back to normal, and buyers are becoming more careful about what they really want to wear.
42. According to the text, how did people like trainers in the past?
A. People thought trainers were only for sports.
B. People were not interested in rare styles.
C. People were crazy about “limited” trainers.
D. People preferred to buy trainers online.
43. Which of the following is NOT a reason why the trainer culture is cooling down?
A. Old styles are out of fashion.
B. There is no special story behind the trainers.
C. Everyone can get a “limited” pair easily.
D. People began to like other types of shoes.
44. The “pumped out” in paragraph 3 means ______.
A. carefully designed B. stopped making
C. improved the quality of D. produced a lot of
45. What is the best title for the text?
A. The End of Hot Trainer Culture
B. The Future of Footwear Companies
C. How to Buy the Best-selling Trainers

Does it matter if music is made by AI?

Photos showed the four members performing, driving, and eating together. 47 , fans noticed there was very little about them online and thought that was strange.

In fact, AI 54 more people to create their own music, especially those who can’t afford expensive instruments. Using technology in art is simply progress.
So, what do you think? Should AI music be labelled, or is the listening experience all that matters?

Have you ever been annoyed by a loud noise while studying for a big exam? That’s what happened to the students at Shenzhen Bao’an Middle School. Some birds were singing loudly outside their windows, over and over again. As the Gaokao was coming soon, a student Xiao Le wrote a letter to the headmaster, asking if the school could take the bird’s nest away to make it quiet.
The headmaster, Mr. Yuan Weixing, understood Xiao Le’s worry. But instead of saying yes, he refused the request in an open letter.
In his letter, the headmaster said that nature has its own rhythm. The birds, called koels, were singing because it was their breeding (繁殖) season. He told Xiao Le in the letter, “The world is not for just one person. Learning to get along with others in the world is a necessary part of growing up.” He suggested that Xiao Le could think of the bird songs as nature’s own “white noise” or a special “concert”. This could help him feel relaxed during study breaks.
Saying no to the request didn’t mean doing nothing. The headmaster also took action to help. The school gave out earplugs to students who needed them. They also built new, man-made bird nests in a garden far from the classroom buildings to gently lead the birds away.
This story on the Internet became a hot topic among many people. They praised the headmaster for turning a noise problem into 59 . Xiao Le later said he learned a lot. He realized the true meaning of coexistence (共存) — respecting nature and living in harmony with everything around us.
Task 1: Answer the questions.
55. Were the students at Shenzhen Bao’an Middle School annoyed by some birds?
56. What did Xiao Le want the school to do?
57. In which way did the headmaster reply to Xiao Le?
58. What does the underlined word “This” refer to in paragraph 3?
59. Why did many people praise the headmaster?
Because he wisely turned a noise problem into 59 .
Task 2:
60. There are some homeless cats in our neighbourhoods nowadays. Sometimes they may cause trouble. Please design two ways of “coexistence” to solve the problem. Write your answer in about 30 words.
VI. Writing(作文)(本大题共1题,共20分)
