Alia Bhatt grew up in Mumbai surrounded by animals, largely because her sister Shaheen kept bringing home stray kittens. These strays often arrived in poor condition — starving or sick. When their mother tried to stop the parade of kittens, the girls hid them in their room until they recovered. “It was compulsive, almost,” Bhatt says. “My heart opened up very young.”
This love of animals stayed with her into adulthood. Today, as one of India’s most recognizable actresses with nearly 90 million Instagram followers, she uses her reach to highlight animal welfare and environmental issues through films, children’s books, and campaigns. “I started to question if my voice had quality,” she says. “I decided to focus on something I’m passionate about — and that’s animals.”
Bhatt’s tactics (策略) are creative and varied. Her 2021-founded production company, Eternal Sunshine, has a logo featuring two cats. She executive produced Poacher, a 2024 hit miniseries based on a real elephant poaching investigation in India. Eternal Sunshine also partners with an eco-film festival to encourage filmmakers to focus on the environment.
“Stories have an amazing way to impact our minds,” Bhatt says. “Once you tell a story, it’s there forever.” Stories can profoundly impact children, and Bhatt is the author of The Adventures of Ed-a-Mamma, a children’s book series following a girl and her adopted dog on animal-helping adventures. Inspired by her daughter’s love for animals, she aims to foster children’s passion for wildlife. Bhatt also launched MiSu, a resale platform for pre-loved celebrity clothes, extending garment lifespans, cutting waste, and boosting India’s circular fashion.
Bhatt doesn’t consider herself an environmental expert. Her partner Dorita D’Souza notes she makes conservation accessible, driven by the deep empathy for animals she developed in childhood.
4. What inspires Alia Bhatt to engage in saving animals and the environment?
A. A desire to seek fame. B. Pressure from her family.
C. The goal of becoming an expert. D. A passion from her childhood.
5. How does Alia Bhatt practically contribute to public welfare?
A. Keeping stray animals at home. B. Launching a new clothing brand.
C. Producing related movies and books. D. Reducing entertainment activities.
6. Which of the following can best describe Alia Bhatt according to the text?
A. Careful and ambitious. B. Devoted and compassionate.
C. Humorous and diligent. D. Innovative and generous.
7. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Celebrities should take on more social responsibilities.

Artificial Intelligence is meant to let the machines do the work. However, a new study published in Harvard Business Review suggests that instead of making work easier, AI may be giving some workers “brain fry”.
Researchers surveyed 1,500 workers, finding those constantly switching between various AI tools suffered more decision exhaustion and made more errors. Around one in seven workers admitted cognitive (认知的) tiredness from balancing AI tools.
“AI runs far ahead of us, but we’re still here with the same brain we had yesterday,” said Bedard, a co-author of the study. The findings serve as an early warning sign that expectations around AI productivity may need recalibrating. “AI extends our capabilities, but it also increases our responsibility range, leading to overwhelming pressure,” she said.
The study also found a striking contradiction: AI can both reduce burnout and create it. When workers constantly supervised multiple AI systems at once, mental pressure increased sharply, while using AI to handle repetitive tasks lowered stress.
For people working deeply with AI tools, the concept of “brain fry” rings true. “As a perfectionist, you are constantly waiting for AI results and switching tasks, ending up spending more time writing the perfect workflow,” said Downey, Head of Strategy. He uses AI daily to build automation systems and finds there is an additional mental stress that comes from AI workflows. He also mentioned setting deadlines helps ease the problem.
Bedard notes that businesses often assume AI lets fewer workers do more faster. But if AI is already pushing workers toward cognitive overload, companies must rethink how human workers best interact with these tools rather than abandon them as the AI revolution advances. If businesses don’t figure that out, their profit may suffer. Workers experiencing AI brain fry reported more mistakes, slower decision-making, and higher exhaustion.
The promise of AI may be limitless. The question is how far the human brain can stretch to keep up.
8. According to the passage, which of the following directly caused “AI brain fry”?
A. Using AI to complete repetitive tasks.
B. Multitasking with the same AI tool.
C. Jumping continually between AI applications.
D. Suffering the pressure of heavy workload.
9. What does the underlined word “recalibrating” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Fulfilling. B. Reassessing. C. Resisting. D. Replacing.
10. What is the author’s purpose of mentioning Downey?
A. To show deadlines help solve AI-related stress.
B. To present an innovative method for creating automation systems.
C. To offer a real-life case of AI-related burnout.
D. To show the efficient creation of ideal AI workflows.
11. What conclusion can be drawn from the last two paragraphs?
A. Companies should limit AI use to protect workers.
B. AI revolution is expected to cause a decline in companies’ profit.
C. AI is the primary reason of workers’ decision exhaustion.
D. The secret of success lies in balancing AI use with human limits.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍一项研究指出频繁切换多种人工智能工具会让劳动者出现认知疲劳,分析人工智能带来双重影响并建议企业协调人与 AI 的协作方式。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Researchers surveyed 1,500 workers, finding those constantly switching between various AI tools suffered more decision exhaustion and made more errors.(研究人员调查了1500名劳动者,发现那些不断在各种AI工具间切换的人,遭受了更严重的决策疲劳并犯了更多错误。)”可知,直接导致“AI脑过载”的原因是持续不断地在不同AI应用程序之间跳转。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“The findings serve as an early warning sign that expectations around AI productivity may need recalibrating.(这一发现是一个早期警示信号,表明围绕AI生产力的期望可能需要recalibrating。)”以及后文提到的AI增加了责任范围并导致巨大压力可知,由于现实情况与预期不符,人们需要调整或重新评估对AI生产力的期望。B选项“Reassessing(重新评估)”与文意相符。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的“For people working deeply with AI tools, the concept of “brain fry” rings true. “As a perfectionist, you are constantly waiting for AI results and switching tasks, ending up spending more time writing the perfect workflow,” said Downey, Head of Strategy. He uses AI daily to build automation systems and finds there is an additional mental stress that comes from AI workflows.(对于深度使用AI工具的人来说,“脑过载”的概念是真实的。“作为一个完美主义者,你会不断等待AI的结果并切换任务,最终花费更多时间来编写完美的工作流,”战略主管Downey说。他每天使用AI构建自动化系统,发现AI工作流带来了额外的精神压力。)”可知,作者举Downey的例子是为提供AI引发精神耗竭的真实案例。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“But if AI is already pushing workers toward cognitive overload, companies must rethink how human workers best interact with these tools rather than abandon them as the AI revolution advances (但如果人工智能已经使员工面临认知超负荷,那么企业必须重新思考人类员工如何与这些工具进行最佳互动,而不是在人工智能革命不断推进时将其抛弃)”以及最后一段“The promise of AI may be limitless. The question is how far the human brain can stretch to keep up.(人工智能前景无限,但关键在于人类大脑能承受的极限)”可推知,成功运用AI的关键在于平衡人工智能使用与人类自身承受限度。
D
As nations rush to adopt renewable energy, a significant conflict has arisen: the need for land to construct large solar farms often destroys forests, which are essential for absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This paradox (悖论), where a climate solution contributes to another environmental problem, is particularly severe in thickly populated countries. In South Korea, for instance, thousands of hectares of forest have been cleared for solar panel installations (安装), erasing vital carbon sinks, causing soil loss, and destroying natural habitats for wildlife. This trade-off between clean energy and ecosystem preservation poses a serious challenge to achieving global climate goals.
A promising solution may come in the form of “solar trees”, a creative technology designed to copy the shape of a real tree. As detailed in a new study published in Scientific Reports, these structures feature solar panels arranged in a manner similar to branches and leaves in tree top. This design enables them to generate electricity while casting minimal shade, allowing sunlight to reach the forest floor and permitting underlying plants and ecosystems to continue growing well. Unlike vast ground-mounted solar farms that require the clear-cutting of land, solar trees can be integrated directly into existing forests, offering a way to produce power while preserving nature.
In a first-of-its-kind analysis, researcher Dan-Bi Um used 3D computer simulations (模拟) to model a sweeping installation of solar trees in a coastal forest in Goseong County, South Korea, and compared it to a real-world solar farm already there. The results were striking — the conventional flat-panel installation required clearing 98 percent of the forest. In contrast, Um’s simulation showed that arranging solar trees in a row along existing roads preserved 99 percent of the forest cover.
The study demonstrates that this preservation does not have to come at the expense of power. The simulation found that just 63 high-efficiency solar trees could produce the same 1 megawatt of power as the land-intensive flat-panel farm. By offering a solution to energy needs and environmental conservation, solar trees represent a strategic path forward for countries aiming to meet ambitious climate targets without losing their invaluable forests.
12. What dilemma does the author mention in the first paragraph?
A. Wildlife habitats are threatened by soil loss.
B. Renewable energy adoption leads to forest destruction.
C. Solar farms fail to absorb carbon dioxide effectively.
D. Thickly populated countries lack enough land for development.
13. Why do researchers design solar trees like real trees?
A. To simplify installation in roads. B. To make them more appealing in the woods.
C. To decrease the shade on the ground. D. To help them absorb more carbon dioxide.
14. What can we infer about conventional ground-mounted solar farms?
A. They are mainly built along coastal areas.
B. They need to clear most of the trees where they were installed.
C. They produce less power per panel than solar trees.
D. They generate electricity that is easy to store and transport.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Solar Trees: Preserving Forests While Generating Power
B. Solar Technology: Advancement in South Korea
C. Renewable Energy: Advantages and Disadvantages
D. Forest Destruction Caused by Solar Farms
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍传统太阳能电站建设存在破坏森林的环保困境,介绍了“solar trees(太阳能树)”这项创新技术的设计原理、实验优势,说明其可兼顾发电与森林保护,助力实现气候目标。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“As nations rush to adopt renewable energy, a significant conflict has arisen: the need for land to construct large solar farms often destroys forests, which are essential for absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.(随着各国争相采用可再生能源,一个显著的矛盾出现了:建设大型太阳能发电厂所需的土地往往会破坏对吸收大气中二氧化碳至关重要的森林。)”可知,作者在第一段中提到的困境是发展可再生能源导致了森林的破坏。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“This design enables them to generate electricity while casting minimal shade, allowing sunlight to reach the forest floor and permitting underlying plants and ecosystems to continue growing well.(这种设计使它们在发电的同时投下极少的阴影,让阳光能够照射到森林地面,使林下植物和生态系统得以继续良好生长。)”可知,研究人员将太阳能树设计成真实树木的形态,是为了减少对地面的遮光。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The results were striking — the conventional flat-panel installation required clearing 98 percent of the forest.(结果令人震惊——传统的平板安装方式需要清除98%的森林。)”可知,传统的地面光伏电站需要在安装区域砍伐绝大部分树木。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。文章开篇提出光伏发展与森林保护的矛盾,随后重点介绍了“太阳能树”这一创新解决方案,并通过韩国高城郡的模拟实验数据,论证了其在保林与发电两方面的可行性。A选项“Solar Trees: Preserving Forests While Generating Power(太阳能树:在发电的同时保护森林)”准确概括了全文核心内容。

考查动词。句意:但我那无穷无尽的任务清单占据了我的脑海——晚餐的盘子还在水槽里,烘干机还等着我处理。A. slipped滑落;B. composed组成,使平静;C. occupied占据;D. disturbed打扰。根据后文“the dinner dishes sat in the sink, and the dryer waited”可知,作者脑海中全是未完成的家务,应是任务占据了她的思绪。
【22题详解】
考查形容词。句意:我说:“也许明天吧。我得做家务,而且我很累。”A. annoyed恼怒的;B. faint虚弱的,模糊的;C. confused困惑的;D. exhausted精疲力竭的。根据前文“endless list of tasks”及列举了多项未完成的家务可知,此时作者应是身心疲惫。
【23题详解】
考查动词短语。句意:她回答说:“拜托,妈妈。夏天快要过去了。”A. fading away逐渐消失,消逝;B. carrying on继续;C. coming along到来,进展;D. showing up出现,露面。根据后文“Summer was short in New England.”可知,新英格兰的夏天很短,女儿是在提醒妈妈夏天即将结束,机会稍纵即逝。

【26题详解】
考查副词。句意:接连几天,我都不情愿地去海滩散步,把它视为另一个我被迫完成的任务。A. eagerly急切地;B. incredibly难以置信地;C. gradually逐渐地;D. unwillingly不情愿地。根据后文“I was forced to complete”可知,作者把散步看作是被迫完成的任务,因此内心是不情愿的。
【27题详解】

The traditional five-day work week is the global standard.

However, the reasons behind its rise and its cross-cultural meaning ____37____ (remain) ever since.
The Icelandic trials, ____38____ engaged more than 2,500 workers, took place several years ago. It was reported that productivity remained the same or improved in the ____39____ (major) of workplaces. More importantly, they found their working conditions were ____40____ (little) stressful. Besides, they were no longer at risk of burnout, leading to better overall health and a healthier balance between their ____41____ (profession) and personal lives.
Therefore, the world’s largest ever trial of a shorter working week was ____42____ complete success, indicating that the public service is ripe for being a pioneer of shorter working weeks, ____43____ (offer) valuable lessons for other governments.
A number of other trials ____44____ (conduct) across the world now. For instance, Unilever in New Zealand is giving staff a chance to cut their hours by 20% ____45____ hurting their pay in a trial. People feel actually more attached to the job when they get rewarded by having more time.
【答案】36. considered
37. have remained
38. which 39. majority
40. less 41. professional
42. a 43. offering
44. are being conducted
45. without
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍冰岛四天工作制试点取得成功,阐述该试点带来的工作效益与员工身心改善,同时提及全球多地正在开展同类试点。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:但冰岛被认定取得成功的四天工作制试点,使得大量员工转而缩短工时,世界各地的劳动者都在追随这一趋势。句子谓语动词是led to,此处非谓语动词作后置定语修饰trials,consider“认为”与逻辑主语trials之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词considered。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:然而,自那以后,它兴起背后的原因及其跨文化意义一直留存待探讨。时间状语ever since是现在完成时标志,主语the reasons是复数,结构为“have+过去分词”,remain的过去分词为remained,所以谓语动词为have remained。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这场涉及两千五百多名劳动者的冰岛试点在数年前开展。此处为非限制性定语从句,先行词The Icelandic trials指事物,关系词在从句中作主语,用关系代词which。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意:据报道,大多数工作场所的生产效率维持原状甚至有所提升。空前为定冠词the,所以此处使用major的名词majority,固定搭配the majority of意为“大多数”,
【40题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:更重要的是,他们发现自身的工作压力更小。此处对比五天工作制,存在隐性比较含义,little的比较级为less,less stressful为降级比较,表示“压力更小”。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意:此外,他们不再有职业倦怠的风险,整体健康状况变好,职业生活与个人生活之间的平衡也更健康。此处修饰名词lives,需要形容词作定语,profession对应的形容词professional意为“职业的”。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意:因此,史上规模最大的短时工作制试点取得了圆满成功,表明公共服务行业已经适合率先推行短时工作制,为其他政府提供宝贵经验。success此处表示一件成功的事,为可数名词单数,空前无限定词,此处表示一次圆满成功,为泛指,且complete是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词a。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:因此,史上规模最大的短时工作制试点取得了圆满成功,表明公共服务行业已经适合率先推行短时工作制,为其他政府提供宝贵经验。此处非谓语动词作状语,表示“公共服务行业已经适合率先推行短时工作制”带来的自然而然的结果,所以用现在分词offering作结果状语。
【44题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:如今全球多个同类试点正在开展。时间状语now表示此刻正在进行的动作,主语trials与conduct“实施,开展”之间是被动关系,主语为复数,现在进行时被动语态结构为“are being+过去分词”,所以谓语动词为are being conducted。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意:例如新西兰联合利华开展试点,允许员工工时减少百分之二十且薪资不受损失。此处表示“不损害、不减少”,介词without符合句意。

47. 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。
Tom just finished shopping at the convenience store. The cashier smiled at him as she handed over his change, but as Tom looked at the money, he noticed something strange — she had accidentally given him 20 dollars more than he was owed.
At first, Tom thought it was a small mistake and struggled with the decision of whether to keep the extra money. For a moment, he imagined what he could buy with it. It was so tempting. But a small voice inside him began to whisper. This internal debate made his heart beat a little faster. After all, no one would know, and it wasn’t his fault that the cashier had made the mistake. But as he walked out of the store, he started to feel uneasy.
He paused just outside the door, his hand still tightly holding the extra 20 dollars. He stood there for a while, watching people pass by. The sun was warm on his back, but his mind was cool and thoughtful. Tom’s thoughts went back to his parents’ lessons about honesty. They had always told him that doing the right thing, no matter how small, is what truly matters. His parents had taught him that even when no one is watching, it was important to be honest. Tom thought about how good it would feel to keep the money, but he also remembered how good it felt to do the right thing.
With a deep breath, Tom turned around and walked back into the store. He approached the cashier and said, “Excuse me, I think I received 20 dollars more change than I should have.” The cashier looked confused at first and then gasped in surprise. “Oh! Thank you for telling me,” she said. “I didn’t realize I had made a mistake.”
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Tom smiled as he handed back the extra 20 dollars.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Tom went home and told his father about the occurrence.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Tom smiled as he handed back the extra 20 dollars. The cash weighing in his pocket had lingered as a constant pull, forcing him to struggle with a tough moral choice. The cashier’s eyes widened in shock, and then she felt relieved and smiled. “Oh, thank goodness! I’d have come up short when my shift ended,” she spoke with thanks. Her gratitude swept away Tom’s earlier anxiety, filling him with warmth. A great weight slipped off his shoulders. He felt lighthearted knowing he’d acted honorably.
Tom went home and told his father about the occurrence. His father listened and patted his back. “Son, I’m so proud of you,” he said. “You stuck to honesty when temptation stood in your way — that’s what defines a real man.” This compliment filled Tom’s chest. He understood the inner peace honesty brought was worth more than money. That night he fell into a restful sleep with a clear conscience. The cashier’s smile lingered in his mind, a quiet yet powerful proof of all the good honesty can create.

Alia Bhatt grew up in Mumbai surrounded by animals, largely because her sister Shaheen kept bringing home stray kittens. These strays often arrived in poor condition — starving or sick. When their mother tried to stop the parade of kittens, the girls hid them in their room until they recovered. “It was compulsive, almost,” Bhatt says. “My heart opened up very young.”
This love of animals stayed with her into adulthood. Today, as one of India’s most recognizable actresses with nearly 90 million Instagram followers, she uses her reach to highlight animal welfare and environmental issues through films, children’s books, and campaigns. “I started to question if my voice had quality,” she says. “I decided to focus on something I’m passionate about — and that’s animals.”
Bhatt’s tactics (策略) are creative and varied. Her 2021-founded production company, Eternal Sunshine, has a logo featuring two cats. She executive produced Poacher, a 2024 hit miniseries based on a real elephant poaching investigation in India. Eternal Sunshine also partners with an eco-film festival to encourage filmmakers to focus on the environment.
“Stories have an amazing way to impact our minds,” Bhatt says. “Once you tell a story, it’s there forever.” Stories can profoundly impact children, and Bhatt is the author of The Adventures of Ed-a-Mamma, a children’s book series following a girl and her adopted dog on animal-helping adventures. Inspired by her daughter’s love for animals, she aims to foster children’s passion for wildlife. Bhatt also launched MiSu, a resale platform for pre-loved celebrity clothes, extending garment lifespans, cutting waste, and boosting India’s circular fashion.
Bhatt doesn’t consider herself an environmental expert. Her partner Dorita D’Souza notes she makes conservation accessible, driven by the deep empathy for animals she developed in childhood.
4. What inspires Alia Bhatt to engage in saving animals and the environment?
A. A desire to seek fame. B. Pressure from her family.
C. The goal of becoming an expert. D. A passion from her childhood.
5. How does Alia Bhatt practically contribute to public welfare?
A. Keeping stray animals at home. B. Launching a new clothing brand.
C. Producing related movies and books. D. Reducing entertainment activities.
6. Which of the following can best describe Alia Bhatt according to the text?
A. Careful and ambitious. B. Devoted and compassionate.
C. Humorous and diligent. D. Innovative and generous.
7. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Celebrities should take on more social responsibilities.
B. Minor good deeds can have a huge impact.
C. Media raises public awareness of social problems.
D. Childhood experiences shape lifelong behaviors.
C
Artificial Intelligence is meant to let the machines do the work. However, a new study published in Harvard Business Review suggests that instead of making work easier, AI may be giving some workers “brain fry”.
Researchers surveyed 1,500 workers, finding those constantly switching between various AI tools suffered more decision exhaustion and made more errors. Around one in seven workers admitted cognitive (认知的) tiredness from balancing AI tools.
“AI runs far ahead of us, but we’re still here with the same brain we had yesterday,” said Bedard, a co-author of the study. The findings serve as an early warning sign that expectations around AI productivity may need recalibrating. “AI extends our capabilities, but it also increases our responsibility range, leading to overwhelming pressure,” she said.
The study also found a striking contradiction: AI can both reduce burnout and create it. When workers constantly supervised multiple AI systems at once, mental pressure increased sharply, while using AI to handle repetitive tasks lowered stress.
For people working deeply with AI tools, the concept of “brain fry” rings true. “As a perfectionist, you are constantly waiting for AI results and switching tasks, ending up spending more time writing the perfect workflow,” said Downey, Head of Strategy. He uses AI daily to build automation systems and finds there is an additional mental stress that comes from AI workflows. He also mentioned setting deadlines helps ease the problem.
Bedard notes that businesses often assume AI lets fewer workers do more faster. But if AI is already pushing workers toward cognitive overload, companies must rethink how human workers best interact with these tools rather than abandon them as the AI revolution advances. If businesses don’t figure that out, their profit may suffer. Workers experiencing AI brain fry reported more mistakes, slower decision-making, and higher exhaustion.
The promise of AI may be limitless. The question is how far the human brain can stretch to keep up.
8. According to the passage, which of the following directly caused “AI brain fry”?
A. Using AI to complete repetitive tasks.
B. Multitasking with the same AI tool.
C. Jumping continually between AI applications.
D. Suffering the pressure of heavy workload.
9. What does the underlined word “recalibrating” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Fulfilling. B. Reassessing. C. Resisting. D. Replacing.
10. What is the author’s purpose of mentioning Downey?
A. To show deadlines help solve AI-related stress.
B. To present an innovative method for creating automation systems.
C. To offer a real-life case of AI-related burnout.
D. To show the efficient creation of ideal AI workflows.
11. What conclusion can be drawn from the last two paragraphs?
A. Companies should limit AI use to protect workers.
B. AI revolution is expected to cause a decline in companies’ profit.
C. AI is the primary reason of workers’ decision exhaustion.
D. The secret of success lies in balancing AI use with human limits.
D
As nations rush to adopt renewable energy, a significant conflict has arisen: the need for land to construct large solar farms often destroys forests, which are essential for absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This paradox (悖论), where a climate solution contributes to another environmental problem, is particularly severe in thickly populated countries. In South Korea, for instance, thousands of hectares of forest have been cleared for solar panel installations (安装), erasing vital carbon sinks, causing soil loss, and destroying natural habitats for wildlife. This trade-off between clean energy and ecosystem preservation poses a serious challenge to achieving global climate goals.
A promising solution may come in the form of “solar trees”, a creative technology designed to copy the shape of a real tree. As detailed in a new study published in Scientific Reports, these structures feature solar panels arranged in a manner similar to branches and leaves in tree top. This design enables them to generate electricity while casting minimal shade, allowing sunlight to reach the forest floor and permitting underlying plants and ecosystems to continue growing well. Unlike vast ground-mounted solar farms that require the clear-cutting of land, solar trees can be integrated directly into existing forests, offering a way to produce power while preserving nature.
In a first-of-its-kind analysis, researcher Dan-Bi Um used 3D computer simulations (模拟) to model a sweeping installation of solar trees in a coastal forest in Goseong County, South Korea, and compared it to a real-world solar farm already there. The results were striking — the conventional flat-panel installation required clearing 98 percent of the forest. In contrast, Um’s simulation showed that arranging solar trees in a row along existing roads preserved 99 percent of the forest cover.
The study demonstrates that this preservation does not have to come at the expense of power. The simulation found that just 63 high-efficiency solar trees could produce the same 1 megawatt of power as the land-intensive flat-panel farm. By offering a solution to energy needs and environmental conservation, solar trees represent a strategic path forward for countries aiming to meet ambitious climate targets without losing their invaluable forests.
12. What dilemma does the author mention in the first paragraph?
A. Wildlife habitats are threatened by soil loss.
B. Renewable energy adoption leads to forest destruction.
C. Solar farms fail to absorb carbon dioxide effectively.
D. Thickly populated countries lack enough land for development.
13. Why do researchers design solar trees like real trees?
A. To simplify installation in roads. B. To make them more appealing in the woods.
C. To decrease the shade on the ground. D. To help them absorb more carbon dioxide.
14. What can we infer about conventional ground-mounted solar farms?

Digital minimalism is a way of using technology with purpose. _____16_____ Keep only what you truly need. Instead of spreading your time across lots of low-value digital activities, you focus on a small number of tools and behaviors that truly support your goals and values. Here are some effective methods to practice digital minimalism.
Turn off non-essential notifications (通知).
Constant notifications can cause sensory overload. Try turning off notifications for apps that don’t demand an immediate reply, such as shopping apps, news alerts, and even social media platforms. _____17_____
Create phone-free zones.
Pick a few places or times in your space that are marked as device-free zones. _____18_____ Choose alternatives that still fit your lifestyle, such as using an alarm clock instead of your phone’s alarm, or reading a physical book rather than a digital one.
_____19_____
Before you open an app, pause and ask yourself why you’re choosing to use your phone at this moment. If you’re checking the weather, great. If you’re reviewing your grocery list, perfect. If you’re reaching for your phone to scroll (滚屏) social media just because you’re bored, try replacing it with a different kind of short break instead.
Replace screen time with analog (模拟的) alternatives.
Making a few small adjustments can help you transition into a more offline lifestyle without interrupting your routines too much. _____20_____ Also, keep a notebook nearby to make lists, rather than automatically using a notes app. Analog tools give your brain a break from bright screens and can feel surprisingly grounding.
A. Focus on what matters to you to guide your technology habits.
B. Use devices intentionally, not out of boredom.
C. Draw a line between your digital life and real life.
D. Avoid letting every notification or app demand your attention.
E. Put down the device and pick up a physical book once in a while.
F. Being a digital minimalist doesn’t mean abandoning platforms completely.
G. Places like your bedroom or dining tables are great spots to stay offline.

47. 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。
Tom just finished shopping at the convenience store. The cashier smiled at him as she handed over his change, but as Tom looked at the money, he noticed something strange — she had accidentally given him 20 dollars more than he was owed.
At first, Tom thought it was a small mistake and struggled with the decision of whether to keep the extra money. For a moment, he imagined what he could buy with it. It was so tempting. But a small voice inside him began to whisper. This internal debate made his heart beat a little faster. After all, no one would know, and it wasn’t his fault that the cashier had made the mistake. But as he walked out of the store, he started to feel uneasy.
He paused just outside the door, his hand still tightly holding the extra 20 dollars. He stood there for a while, watching people pass by. The sun was warm on his back, but his mind was cool and thoughtful. Tom’s thoughts went back to his parents’ lessons about honesty. They had always told him that doing the right thing, no matter how small, is what truly matters. His parents had taught him that even when no one is watching, it was important to be honest. Tom thought about how good it would feel to keep the money, but he also remembered how good it felt to do the right thing.
With a deep breath, Tom turned around and walked back into the store. He approached the cashier and said, “Excuse me, I think I received 20 dollars more change than I should have.” The cashier looked confused at first and then gasped in surprise. “Oh! Thank you for telling me,” she said. “I didn’t realize I had made a mistake.”
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Tom smiled as he handed back the extra 20 dollars.
