Wildlife photographer Ingo Arndt discovered his first enormous ant mound ()as a child exploring the
forest with his father near their home almost 50 years ago.They were bird-watching and came around a bend in a
thickly wooded area when there it was:a five-foot-tall mound,standing upward like a large stalagmite )
Arndt wanted to investigate more closely,but a very particular smell suggested he rethink that.The air felt thick
and sharp,discomforting his nose.“All my life,”he says,“I could remember the smell.”
Several years later,Arndt moved to the countryside.He continued his fascination with the mounds and their
armies of tiny engineers.Outfitted with a high-resolution camera,he began photographing the mounds and sharing
his imagery with researchers for a scientific perspective.It turned out the mound makers were indeed special.They
were red wood ants-one of the smallest of all so-called keystone species.Keystone species such as elephants and
sharks are watched closely because their behaviors affect so many aspects of the ecosystem that if they disappeared,
it would struggle to adapt.Researchers also explained the smell from the mound.As the insects build a nest,they
generate formic acid(),the origin of the smell,which helps to fight against enemies.
But in recent decades,the population of ants has been declining as the forests have fallen victim to logging,
4
urbanization,and wildfires,as well as drought and higher temperatures that have become more frequent with
climate change.This has led several countries across the ants'range,including Germany,to enlist them as a
protected species by law.
Today Arndt's photos put on display that as social insects,these small ants not only form complex societies,
but they also cohabitate with a wide variety of species,creating a mass of coexisting relationships across a variety
of plant and animal species.They are also a reminder that by protecting these unnoticed creatures,we are actually
protecting ourselves.
24.How was Arndt's first encounter with the ant mound?
A.It reminded him of a bad experience.
B.It left him an unforgettable memory
C.It aroused his enthusiasm for nature.
D.It inspired him to protect the forests.
25.What does the underlined word "it"in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.The wooded area.
B.The mound maker.
C.The keystone species.
D.The entire ecosystem.
26.What contributed to the decrease in the number of ants?
A.Their worsened habitats
B.Their changing behavior.
C.Their severe competition.
D.Their limited population.
27.What is the text mainly intended to tell us?
A.Massive lives exist on earth.
B.Tiny species count in nature.
C.Social creatures live in groups.
D.Little ants are master architects.

Researcher Ruijia Hu said wildlife habitat in crowded places like south went Ohio is becoming increasingly
fragmented()as forests give way to new construction.Eventually,this could make trouble to an animal with
specific habitat needs like Ohio's pileated (woodpecker.
Pileated woodpeckers have the nickname carpenter birds for their never-ending natural woodworking.They
peck out holes in trees for their nests every year,creating lots of valuable homes for animals like fox squirrels and
owls."They make new nests every year.They won't reuse old ones,"Hu said."Uther animals depend on them."
Pileated woodpeckers are private birds that are more often heard than seen.Studying them'canbe especially
difficult.So Hu turned to citizen scienice for help.To identify where-woodpeckers have been seen,she used eight
years of sightings collected by birders and logged into the website eBird,a free online tool and app that anyone can
use to record their observations and locations.She overlaid these sightings with remote sensing data and found that
5
corridors along rivers and creeks with abundant mature trees and deadwood helped the birds adjust to their
increasingly fragmented urban landscape.
"With fragmented forests,many habitats that were once suitable for wildlife are broken up,"Hu sa id.
"Wildlife is unable to find habitat big enough to meet their survival needs.And even if there are suitable habitats,
the distance between them can be too great.Wildlife corridors link up these habitat patches.Since wildlife can
travel and migrate from one patch to another,the probability of finding food and shelter is higher."
"There are so many species in urban areas that we don't pay attention to,especially when they're not
considered vulnerable,"Hu said."With development chipping away at more forest in this crowded county,the
tipping point (could come quickly and unexpectedly.You can't fix it overnight.It's not just about planting
more trees.The birds need mature forest,so it could take 30 to 50 years to replace their habitat.At least we can
protect these riverside forest corridors and see that existing trees reach maturity."
28.What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A.The magpie's nest is occupied by the dove
B.Birds abandon the old for the new easily.
C.Friendship really exists among animals.
D.One's trash is another treasure
29.What is the main idea of the third paragraph?
A.The effect of Hu's study on birds
B.The process of Hu's research.
C.The difficulty Hu had in his study.
D.The application of technology.
30.What role do wildlife corridors play for birds?
A.Helping them survive in the fragmented landscape.
B.Making them adjust to deadwood quickly
C.Providing them with enough food for survival.
D.Ensuring them a stable and safe habitat.
31.What does Hu imply in the last paragraph?
A.One tree doesn't make a forest.
B.Be wise after the event.
C.Prepare for a rainy day.

D.Take things as they come.

In Hangzhou's Linping District,a friendly Al assistant named"Little Rainbow"is quietly changing how citizens
interact with the government.Powered by DeepSeek-R1,an advanced Chinese AI model,this system handles over
1,000 daily inquiries-from explaining policies to guiding paperwork-with 95%accuracy.
Imagine needing to apply for a student scholarship but feeling lost in complicated rules.With"Little Rainbow",
citizens simply ask questions in natural language,like chatting with a friend.The AI instantly analyzes policies,
provides step-by-step guidance,and even fills out forms automatically.For elderly people unfamiliar with
smartphones,it offers voice-based assistance,such as helping them manage health code systems during the pandemic.
This"one-stop service"saves time and reduces confusion,making government services more accessible.
"Little Rainbow"relies on two key technologies:natural language processing (NLP)and machine learning.The
NLP allows it to understand various questions-whether typed or spoken.Meanwhile,its machine learning algorithms
(improve through real-world interactions.For example,if a user asks,"How do I report a broken streetlight?"
the system not only answers but also learns to predict similar requests in the future.
To ensure reliability,engineers trained the AI using thousands of real cases,covering topics from tax payments
to school admissions.Surprisingly,the system can even detect emotional tones in messages.When a user writes,"I'm
frustrated with this process!","Little Rainbow"responds with patience and extra clear explanations.
Hangzhou's "Little Rainbow"is more than a convenience-it's a window into an Al-driven world.As this
technology spreads,it challenges us to adapt,innovate,and think critically about its impact.For young learners,
understanding AI isn't just about coding;it's about shaping a future where technology serves humanity's best interests.

Where Beauty Lies
The backyard of the house we lived in,for some reason,attracted abandoned and homeless pets in the area,and
at night,Grandpa would fill six plates with leftover food and some cheap cat food and take them out to the backyard
to feed the pets.Sometimes there was even a stray(走失的)dog or two..If they were tamed(驯服),Grandpa would
try to find homes for them.
One day,when I came home from school,I was surprised to see Grandma sitting alone drinking coffee."Where's
Grandpa?"I asked.
"Oh,he's in the basement working on an old stray cat.The cat is badly burned,but you know your grandpa.
He's determined to cure that old cat."
I headed for the basement and hurried over to see if I could help.Grandpa turned to me and managed a weak
smile."Not very pretty,is he?"he said softly.
I couldn't answer.I had never seen anything so horrible.The cat's face was badly burned and his tail was missing.
The cat just lay trembling in Grandpa's arms.
"Is he going to die?"I whispered.
"Not if I can help him,"Grandpa said with tears in his eyes.
"Grandpa,even if he lives,he's going to be so ugly,"I said.
"So what?"Grandpa said harshly."Would you love me less if I were burned and became ugly?"
“Of course not,.”Istammered(结结巴巴地说),
"Are you sure?"he asked and stared at me."You know,I've always been told not to judge a book by its cover.
Do you know what that mean?"
"Yes.But Mom always wants me to look pretty,"I argued."All the most popular people at school are pretty."
"That's for now,"he explained."Now is what young people think about,but now isn't all there is to life.Animals
don't care who's popular and who's not.What animals care about is staying warm in the winter and cool in the
11
summer,and food to keep them from being hungry."
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
For the next month,Grandpa and I took care of the injured cat every day.
Thanks to that cat,he changed my attitude to life.
