W: Hi, Steve. Not bad at all.
M: The idea of “sports at night” is such an absolutely original one. Can you tell me more about it?
W: Well, in many big cities, it’s almost impossible for people to go jogging during the day. Everyone’s very busy. Anyway, one night in bed, I had this idea for a new type of sports clothing.
M: So you developed this range called “Night Jogging”.
W: That’s right, and it appeals to men and women of all ages. The clothes are made from brightly colored material and have highly reflective stickers, making joggers easily visible in the dark to ensure their safety.
M: Was it difficult to promote?
W: It was practically impossible to attract interest at the beginning. But then we won the support of a local sports star. Since then, it’s been absolutely amazing.
M: What are your plans for the future?
W: We would like to launch our range in China next year. And maybe in other countries after that.

The International Linguistics Olympiad (IOL) is a competition for pre-university students, held in a different country each year since 2003. It challenges participants, both individually and in teams, to solve linguistic (语言学的) puzzles. To compete at the IOL, no special knowledge is required, only basic language concepts, logic, patience, and creative thinking. Try this beginner sample to see if the IOL is right for you.
A Puzzle
The names of some South American countries are written in Georgian (格鲁吉亚语) with their English translations:
The Solution
The Georgian forms of “Peru” and “Uruguay” have the same number of letters as their English names, showing a direct letter match.
The repeated U in “Uruguay” further confirms Georgian is written left-to-right.
“Brazil” has fewer letters than the Georgian version, but thanks to the two other names, we already know: რ→ R, ა→ A, გ→ G, ე→ E.
With these letters, the pattern არგენტინა can be translated as “A R G E _ _ _ A,” which is “Argentina.”
ბრაზილია Brazil
პერუ Peru
ურუგვაი Uruguay
Q: What is the English name of this country “არგენტინა”?

B
This summer I came face-to-face with three deep-rooted fears: heights, bears, and ageing.
Two friends joined me on a four-day wilderness getaway, and since we were all in our seventies, we decided we’d better go while we still could. Our adventure began with a scary drive up a winding mountain road.
On one hike, I found myself hanging onto a wire on a bridge made of two partly rotten (腐烂的) logs, suspended high above rushing rapids. I would never have attempted it without our guide ahead, mouthing encouraging words. Fixing my eyes on her boots, I inched along the shaky logs. Somehow, I made it across, flooded with a rush of intense excitement and huge relief.
Later, after spotting bear tracks, we were told to make loud noises, which soon became a game once the tension faded.
Until suddenly, time stood still.
We had just crossed a stream when the guide whispered, “There’s a bear.” I looked up in disbelief and saw not one, but two, about ten meters above us— the brown mother in front, her cub behind.
Though scared speechless, I couldn’t help noticing how beautiful they looked in their natural setting. I wondered if it would be my last memory. As they started towards us, we recovered enough to shout and wave our hiking poles. Taken aback, they stopped, and then slowly turned away. Another fear was overcome!
On our final morning, after a quiet, thoughtful walk through the forest, we were asked to bring back a “meaningful” stick, rock, and leaf to share what would “stick” with us, what “rocked,” and what we would “leaf” behind. The bond of friendship would stick with me. Women supporting one another truly rocked. And I hoped to leave some fears behind.
Our guide ended by expressing her admiration, praising not only our fitness but also our positive attitude, and saying she hoped to be like us in another thirty or forty years. Those unexpected words warmed my heart and eased my fear of being “over the hill.” Being valued for what we had accomplished felt like winning an Olympic medal — even if just for participation.
24. How did the author cross the bridge?
A. By taking mindful steps. B. By rushing across it bravely.
C. By using her sense of direction. D. By having the guide drag her over.
25. Why did the bears leave?
A. They were attracted by the natural setting. B. They were afraid of the noise of the rapids.
C. They were surprised at the group’s actions. D. They were threatened by the guide’s rocks.
26. Why did the guide ask them for a stick, rock, and leaf?
A. To pick up some souvenirs. B. To reflect on the journey.
C. To symbolize their teamwork. D. To check their observation skills.
27. What does the underlined phrase “over the hill” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Past the peak of youth. B. Too high to go down.
C. Out of place in society. D. Beyond physical limits.
【答案】24. A 25. C 26. B 27. A
【解析】

【27题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段的语境,向导称赞她们的健康和积极态度,并表示希望自己三四十年后也能像她们一样。这些意外的话语温暖了作者的心,缓解了她对“over the hill”的恐惧。结合前文提到的“we were all in our seventies(我们都七十多岁了)”以及“ageing(变老)”这一主题,“over the hill”指的是已过青春巅峰、年老体衰的状态。故选A项。
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.
28. 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.
29. 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.
30. 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.
31. 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】28. D 29. C 30. D 31. B

D
When you rub (摩擦) a balloon on your skin, it produces electricity — a familiar example of charge separation (电荷分离), a process in which opposite charges are separated, creating electric potential. Similarly, raindrops striking a narrow tube create a tiny yet significant burst of energy. Now, researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have tapped into this effect to generate electricity using rain-like droplets.
Conventional hydropower (水力发电) relies on large water flows, which only work in places like rivers. For smaller, slower flows, researchers have explored charge separation. They use a tube to let water flow through it continuously. Charges gather on the surface that the water touches. In this way, researchers can collect charges, but it is far from effective.
To solve this problem, the NUS team built a special device. At both ends of the device — the top of the newly-designed tube (about 2 millimeters in width), and the water-collecting cup at the bottom — electrical wires were placed to harvest charges. First, water is released from a metal needle, forming rain-like droplets. When these droplets enter the tube, their impacts create “plug flow”, in which the water forms mini columns separated by air gaps. This flow is crucial because it allows more surface contact and more time for charges to build up, generating up to 100,000 times more charge separation than continuous flow. As charged droplets exit the tube and fall into the cup, charges build up in the water, creating an electric current. In tests, four tubes produced enough electricity to power 12 LED lights continuously for 20 seconds.
According to the study’s lead author, this model shows how rain can be used to generate clean electricity effectively and sustainably (可持续地), especially in rainy places such as Singapore. Its potential is enormous, as it offers an alternative energy source even in cities. Imagine a rain collection device on your roof, producing small amounts of electricity whenever it rains — a small step for a raindrop, but a giant leap for sustainable energy technology.
32. What problem do the NUS researchers aim to solve?
A. The difficulty of separating charges. B. The lack of clean electricity sources.
C. The inefficiency of charge harvesting. D. The damage of traditional hydropower.
33. Which of the following best shows “plug flow”?
A. B. C. D.
34. What is the last paragraph mainly about concerning the model?
A. Its potential cost in urban areas. B. Its promising use in green energy.
C. Its complex design for rain power. D. Its practical need for more devices.
35. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Revolutionary Energy from Raindrops B. Immediate Demand for Sustainable Energy
C. Capturing Raindrops Through Creation D. Turning Charge Separation into Electricity
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. B 35. A

【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“When these droplets enter the tube, their impacts create “plug flow”, in which the water forms mini columns separated by air gaps.(当这些水滴进入管道,撞击形成“塞流”,水流形成被空气间隙隔开的细小水柱)”可知,塞流的特点是水柱之间存在空气间隔,D项图片符合该描述。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“this model shows how rain can be used to generate clean electricity effectively and sustainably... Its potential is enormous, as it offers an alternative energy source even in cities.(该模型展示了雨水如何被高效且可持续地用来产生清洁电力。它潜力巨大,即便在城市中也能提供一种替代能源)”可知,本段主要讲述该装置在绿色能源领域拥有良好的应用前景。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Similarly, raindrops striking a narrow tube create a tiny yet significant burst of energy. Now, researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have tapped into this effect to generate electricity using rain-like droplets.(同样,雨滴撞击细管会产生微小却可观的能量。如今,新加坡国立大学的研究人员利用这一效应,借助类雨滴来发电)”以及第三段介绍发电原理、最后一段介绍技术前景可知,全文围绕利用雨滴发电这一创新技术展开。A选项“来自雨滴的创新能源”最贴合文章主旨,适合作标题。

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。
I put on a headset, and in seconds I am somewhere else. Large ice lies on dark water. Wind brushes past my ears, cold and strong. Moments later, I find myself inside a museum, leaning close to a painting I have never seen in real life. ____36____ This is the promise of virtual reality (VR): a world delivered to us without leaving home.
There is much to appreciate in this form of travel. ____37____ There is no need to consider weather conditions, health problems or money worries.

____38____ Travelers walk through unfamiliar streets, taste local dishes, and communicate face-to-face with people shaped by different traditions. Such experiences wake up the senses and create lasting memories. More importantly, they change how places feel to us, not just how we understand them.
This difference is clear, because learning about a destination is not the same as being there. Virtual travel offers designed scenes and programmed feelings, but it remains carefully controlled. Real travel, by contrast, is shaped by the unknown. ____39____ In those unplanned moments, understanding becomes lived rather than recorded.
Virtual reality will undoubtedly continue to develop, enriching how we plan journeys and imagine distant worlds. Still, it cannot replace (代替)actual presence. Travel is not simply about seeing farther; it is also about feeling where you stand. ____40____
A. I am not moving, yet I am traveling.
B. Yet real travel leaves a deeper mark.
C. My feet ache as my journey continues across the day.
D. Virtual journeys are convenient, time-saving, and widely accessible.
E. Some knowledge, it seems, only arrives when your feet are on the ground.
F. It demands choices, adaptation, and continuous awareness of the unexpected.
G. But the convenience may gradually weaken our curiosity to explore the real world.

【36题详解】
根据上文“Large ice lies on dark water .Wind brushes past my ears, cold and strong. Moments later, I find myself inside a museum, leaning close to a painting I have never seen in real life.(大块的冰躺在黑暗的水面上。风从我耳边掠过,寒冷而强烈。片刻之后,我发现自己置身于博物馆中,靠近一幅我在现实生活中从未见过的画。)”可知,上文描述了作者在虚拟现实中的体验,下文“This is the promise of virtual reality (VR): a world delivered to us without leaving home.(这就是虚拟现实(VR)的承诺:足不出户就能体验世界。)”解释了这种体验是虚拟现实带来的。A选项“I am not moving, yet I am traveling.(我虽然没有动,但我在旅行。)”承接上文,描述了虚拟现实旅行的特点,即身体不动但仿佛在旅行,与下文提到的虚拟现实承诺相呼应。
【37题详解】
根据下文“There is no need to consider weather conditions, health problems or money worries. You may enter distant places at any moment and leave just as freely. For those limited by schedule, health, or income, VR quietly clears away the difficulties that traditional travel often brings.(无需考虑天气条件、健康问题或经济担忧。你可以随时进入遥远的地方,也可以同样自由地离开。对于那些受日程、健康或收入限制的人来说,虚拟现实悄悄地消除了传统旅行常常带来的困难。)”可知,本段主要介绍了虚拟现实旅行的便利性。D选项“Virtual journeys are convenient, time-saving, and widely accessible.(虚拟旅行方便、省时、易于获取。)”概括了本段的主要内容,符合语境。
【38题详解】
根据下文“Travelers walk through unfamiliar streets, taste local dishes, and communicate face-to-face with people shaped by different traditions. Such experiences wake up the senses and create lasting memories. More importantly, they change how places feel to us, not just how we understand them.(旅行者走过陌生的街道,品尝当地菜肴,与不同传统塑造的人们面对面交流。这样的经历唤醒感官,创造持久的记忆。更重要的是,它们改变了我们对地方的感受,而不仅仅是我们对地方的理解。)”可知,本段主要介绍了真实旅行带来的深刻体验和影响。B选项“Yet real travel leaves a deeper mark.(然而,真正的旅行会留下更深刻的印记。)”引出下文,强调真实旅行的独特价值,与下文描述的真实旅行的体验相呼应。
【39题详解】
根据上文“This difference is clear, because learning about a destination is not the same as being there. Virtual travel offers designed scenes and programmed feelings, but it remains carefully controlled. Real travel, by contrast, is shaped by the unknown.(这种差异是明显的,因为了解一个目的地和身临其境是不一样的。虚拟旅行提供设计的场景和编程的感觉,但它仍然受到严格控制。相比之下,真正的旅行是由未知塑造的。)”可知,本段主要对比了虚拟旅行和真实旅行的不同,强调真实旅行的不确定性。F选项“It demands choices, adaptation, and continuous awareness of the unexpected.(它需要选择、适应和对意外情况的持续意识。)”进一步解释了真实旅行的特点,即需要面对和适应未知,与上文提到的真实旅行的不确定性相呼应。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Virtual reality will undoubtedly continue to develop, enriching how we plan journeys and imagine distant worlds. Still, it cannot replace (代替)actual presence. Travel is not simply about seeing farther; it is also about feeling where you stand.(虚拟现实无疑将继续发展,丰富我们规划旅程和想象遥远世界的方式。然而,它无法取代实际的存在。旅行不仅仅是看得更远;它也是感受你所处的位置。)”可知,本段主要总结了虚拟现实旅行和真实旅行的关系,强调真实旅行的独特性。E选项“Some knowledge, it seems, only arrives when your feet are on the ground.(有些知识,似乎只有当你脚踏实地时才能获得。)”承接上文,强调真实旅行带来的独特体验和知识,与上文提到的真实旅行的感受相呼应。

In the scientific field, just as important as raising our voices is how we come together. Progress doesn’t happen ____41____; it’s fueled by cooperation. Like a music band where every instrument plays its part, scientists from different backgrounds harmonize their expertise (专门技术) to create something greater than the ____42____ of its parts.
I’ve witnessed that cooperative power firsthand through an initiative called Native Plant Hub. This initiative brings together local governments, tribal communities, academic institutions, and private landowners. Their ____43____ mission?

It couldn’t have succeeded without the combined expertise of these ____44____ groups. Each contributes something essential, proving that large-scale conservation efforts don’t happen ___45___; they require long-term investment, cooperation, and commitment.

That’s why I’m so passionate about the CES network — it’s right there in the name: Cooperative Ecosystem Studies. Exchanging knowledge and expertise is the foundation of scientific progress. Through partnerships, improvements emerge that might ____47____ remain difficult to achieve. For example, a project highlight I’m currently writing looks at the cooperation between University of Oregon researchers and the Park Service to study the cultural landscape of Carlsbad Caverns. When the Service suggested bringing in a cave microbiologist, the university team ____48____ hadn’t considered the role of microscopic life in preservation. But once involved, the microbiologist’s advice proved ____49____.
One key moment came when the team faced the ____50____ of a worsening historic wooden staircase, which had become a habitat for microorganisms.

Before removing it, the microbiologist proposed covering the staircase to ____52____ unintended harm. After the successful relocation, the team proposed using projected images to illustrate its former ____53____, enabling visitors to appreciate its historical significance.
This cooperation — combining scientific expertise with cultural preservation — safeguarded both the cave’s ecological ____54____ and historical significance. The result is an approach that ____55____ environmental conservation and cultural preservation, ensuring the long-term protection of our national parks.
Too often, scientific research operates separately. But real progress doesn’t come from opposition; it comes from cooperation.

【解析】
【导语】文章以作者的阅读体验切入,介绍了《林深见鹿:美得窒息的唐诗》一书,书中收录了许渊冲翻译的唐诗,通过双语对照、精美插图和细腻注释,将中国诗歌的韵律转化为英语音乐。
【56题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:当我第一次翻开《林深见鹿:美得窒息的唐诗》这本书时,我感觉自己仿佛步入了一个作者的文字如轻柔音乐般流淌的世界。空处引导限制性定语从句,修饰先行词a world,先行词在从句中表示某事发生的地点,作地点状语,应用关系副词where作引导词。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:那些唐诗,经许渊冲大师之手翻译,用两种声音轻声诉说——一种中文,一种英文——每一种都回响着宁静、美丽和静谧的深意。句子已有谓语speak,空处是非谓语,作The Tang poems的后置定语,translate“翻译”和The Tang poems逻辑上是被动关系,且动作当时已完成,因此用translate的过去分词形式translated。
【58题详解】
考查名词。句意:那些唐诗,经许渊冲大师之手翻译,用两种声音轻声诉说——一种中文,一种英文——每一种都回响着宁静、美丽和静谧的深意。空处与前面的calm以及beauty并列,作介词with的宾语,应用deep的名词形式depth“深刻”,是不可数名词。
【59题详解】
考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:这本书分为六个章节,每一章都展开一幅独特的情感画卷——悲伤、平和、爱、渴望、孤独与沉思。空处作句子的谓语,此处在描述一般性的事实,时态应用一般现在时,divide“划分”和主语The book之间是被动关系,应用被动语态,且主语是单数,be动词应用is。
【60题详解】
考查副词。句意:当我读到“两岸猿声啼不住,轻舟已过万重山”时,我深受感动。空处修饰过去分词moved,应用副词truly,意为“非常,很”。
【61题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:我完全感受到了李白那获得解放的灵魂——他被皇帝赦免后的喜悦——在字里行间流淌。空处作句子的谓语,结合前面的“was moved”可知,此处在叙述过去发生的事情,时态应用一般过去时。
【62题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:书的每一页都配有精心的注释、生动的背景故事和传统的中国水墨风格插图。空处与前面的notes以及stories并列,作with的宾语,空前没有表示单数概念的修饰语,应用可数名词illustration“插画”的复数形式illustrations。
【63题详解】
考查介词。句意:许渊冲的巧妙之作将中国诗歌的节奏转化为英语的音乐,这是一种既尊重原作又尊重新形式的再创作。结合空处前后的“turns the rhythm of Chinese poems”和“English music”可知,固定搭配turn...into...符合题意,意为“把……变成……”。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:阅读这本书就像一场穿越心灵与山水的旅程。空处和空后的this book搭配,作句子的主语,是非谓语动词,且此处介绍的是一件已知的经验,因此用read“阅读”的动名词形式reading,句首单词的首字母需大写。
【65题详解】
考查冠词。句意:对于任何珍视诗歌、绘画,或珍视两种文化完美交融的人来说,《林深见鹿:美得窒息的唐诗》是一本必读之作,它优美地充当了桥梁。空处表示泛指,意为“一本必读之作”,应用不定冠词,且must-read的发音以辅音音素开头,应用a。

第二节(满分25分)
67. 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 Young was on his way home from a hard day’s work at a construction site, carrying his worn-out hammer which had accompanied him through thick and thin. With each step, his mind was filled with worry as he racked his brain to find money for his seriously ill son, Andrew, who was in great need of heart surgery.
Tom had run out of choices and time. Desperation was beginning to set in, but he refused to let his son suffer helplessly. As he walked, the weight of his troubles pressed heavily on his shoulders. So desperate was he that he even heard a hum in his ears. The next moment the hum was entirely covered by a loud sound.
He turned in shock, and what he saw took his breath away. An expensive luxury car was wrapped around a big tree on the other side of the street, with its front twisted and flames starting to spring up from the car.
Without a second thought, he ran to the flaming car. He noticed that although the young lady in the driver’s seat did not seem to have been severely injured - apparently because of the open airbag - she was unconscious. Tom saw that the flames began to grow increasingly intense. He realized that he had to get the girl out of the car immediately because there was a high risk of the vehicle exploding at any time.
He grabbed the handle and pulled it, but the door was bent and did not open. He used all his strength and tried again, but in vain. It was a sports car, so it had only two doors, and the other one was blocked by the tree. He decided that he had to break the glass to take her out as quickly as possible. He struck it forcefully with his fist but realized that there was no way he could break the thick glass with bare hands, and the flames were getting bigger.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Time was running out, and his mind raced madly.

The girl was sad to know Tom’s trouble from the local news.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Time was running out, and his mind raced madly. In a moment of clarity, Tom remembered the worn-out hammer in his hand. It had been a reliable companion through countless days of labor, and now it was his only hope. With a determined swing, he smashed the hammer against the window, shattering the glass with a loud crash. Carefully, he reached into the vehicle, avoiding the jagged edges, and unbuckled the unconscious young lady. With all his strength, he pulled her out, dragging her a safe distance from the car just as the flames roared fiercely, engulfing the vehicle in a fiery blaze. Soon, Tom’s heroic deed went viral.
The girl was sad to know Tom’s trouble from the local news. She learned about his struggle to find money for his son’s heart surgery and felt a deep sense of empathy for his situation. Remembering how he had risked his life to save her, she decided to take action. With her family’s connections and resources, she organized a fundraising campaign to help cover the medical expenses for Andrew’s surgery. As word spread about Tom’s story, the community rallied together, contributing whatever they could. Grateful for the support, Tom felt a renewed sense of hope. The girl, now a friend, visited him in the hospital, bringing not just financial help but also encouragement. Their bond grew stronger, united by the challenges they faced and the lives they had touched.
【解析】
【导语】文章以人物为线索展开,讲述了Tom Young在下班回家的路上,偶遇一辆豪华轿车撞上大树并起火。他毫不犹豫地前往救援,发现车内的女司机虽然因安全气囊打开而未受重伤,但已失去意识。面对车门变形无法打开和火焰逐渐蔓延的紧急情况,Tom决定砸碎车窗玻璃救出女司机,但发现仅凭双手无法打破厚实的玻璃。

The International Linguistics Olympiad (IOL) is a competition for pre-university students, held in a different country each year since 2003. It challenges participants, both individually and in teams, to solve linguistic (语言学的) puzzles. To compete at the IOL, no special knowledge is required, only basic language concepts, logic, patience, and creative thinking. Try this beginner sample to see if the IOL is right for you.
A Puzzle
The names of some South American countries are written in Georgian (格鲁吉亚语) with their English translations:
The Solution
The Georgian forms of “Peru” and “Uruguay” have the same number of letters as their English names, showing a direct letter match.
The repeated U in “Uruguay” further confirms Georgian is written left-to-right.
“Brazil” has fewer letters than the Georgian version, but thanks to the two other names, we already know: რ→ R, ა→ A, გ→ G, ე→ E.
With these letters, the pattern არგენტინა can be translated as “A R G E _ _ _ A,” which is “Argentina.”
ბრაზილია Brazil

This summer I came face-to-face with three deep-rooted fears: heights, bears, and ageing.
Two friends joined me on a four-day wilderness getaway, and since we were all in our seventies, we decided we’d better go while we still could. Our adventure began with a scary drive up a winding mountain road.
On one hike, I found myself hanging onto a wire on a bridge made of two partly rotten (腐烂的) logs, suspended high above rushing rapids. I would never have attempted it without our guide ahead, mouthing encouraging words. Fixing my eyes on her boots, I inched along the shaky logs. Somehow, I made it across, flooded with a rush of intense excitement and huge relief.
Later, after spotting bear tracks, we were told to make loud noises, which soon became a game once the tension faded.
Until suddenly, time stood still.
We had just crossed a stream when the guide whispered, “There’s a bear.” I looked up in disbelief and saw not one, but two, about ten meters above us— the brown mother in front, her cub behind.
Though scared speechless, I couldn’t help noticing how beautiful they looked in their natural setting. I wondered if it would be my last memory. As they started towards us, we recovered enough to shout and wave our hiking poles. Taken aback, they stopped, and then slowly turned away. Another fear was overcome!
On our final morning, after a quiet, thoughtful walk through the forest, we were asked to bring back a “meaningful” stick, rock, and leaf to share what would “stick” with us, what “rocked,” and what we would “leaf” behind. The bond of friendship would stick with me. Women supporting one another truly rocked. And I hoped to leave some fears behind.
Our guide ended by expressing her admiration, praising not only our fitness but also our positive attitude, and saying she hoped to be like us in another thirty or forty years. Those unexpected words warmed my heart and eased my fear of being “over the hill.” Being valued for what we had accomplished felt like winning an Olympic medal — even if just for participation.
24. How did the author cross the bridge?
A. By taking mindful steps. B. By rushing across it bravely.
C. By using her sense of direction. D. By having the guide drag her over.
25. Why did the bears leave?
A. They were attracted by the natural setting. B. They were afraid of the noise of the rapids.
C. They were surprised at the group’s actions. D. They were threatened by the guide’s rocks.
26. Why did the guide ask them for a stick, rock, and leaf?
A. To pick up some souvenirs. B. To reflect on the journey.
C. To symbolize their teamwork. D. To check their observation skills.
27. What does the underlined phrase “over the hill” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Past the peak of youth. B. Too high to go down.
C. Out of place in society. D. Beyond physical limits.
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.
28. 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.
29. 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.
30. 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.
31. 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
When you rub (摩擦) a balloon on your skin, it produces electricity — a familiar example of charge separation (电荷分离), a process in which opposite charges are separated, creating electric potential. Similarly, raindrops striking a narrow tube create a tiny yet significant burst of energy. Now, researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have tapped into this effect to generate electricity using rain-like droplets.
Conventional hydropower (水力发电) relies on large water flows, which only work in places like rivers. For smaller, slower flows, researchers have explored charge separation. They use a tube to let water flow through it continuously. Charges gather on the surface that the water touches. In this way, researchers can collect charges, but it is far from effective.
To solve this problem, the NUS team built a special device. At both ends of the device — the top of the newly-designed tube (about 2 millimeters in width), and the water-collecting cup at the bottom — electrical wires were placed to harvest charges. First, water is released from a metal needle, forming rain-like droplets. When these droplets enter the tube, their impacts create “plug flow”, in which the water forms mini columns separated by air gaps. This flow is crucial because it allows more surface contact and more time for charges to build up, generating up to 100,000 times more charge separation than continuous flow. As charged droplets exit the tube and fall into the cup, charges build up in the water, creating an electric current. In tests, four tubes produced enough electricity to power 12 LED lights continuously for 20 seconds.
According to the study’s lead author, this model shows how rain can be used to generate clean electricity effectively and sustainably (可持续地), especially in rainy places such as Singapore. Its potential is enormous, as it offers an alternative energy source even in cities. Imagine a rain collection device on your roof, producing small amounts of electricity whenever it rains — a small step for a raindrop, but a giant leap for sustainable energy technology.
32. What problem do the NUS researchers aim to solve?
A. The difficulty of separating charges. B. The lack of clean electricity sources.
C. The inefficiency of charge harvesting. D. The damage of traditional hydropower.
33. Which of the following best shows “plug flow”?
A. B. C. D.
34. What is the last paragraph mainly about concerning the model?
A. Its potential cost in urban areas. B. Its promising use in green energy.
C. Its complex design for rain power. D. Its practical need for more devices.
35. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Revolutionary Energy from Raindrops B. Immediate Demand for Sustainable Energy
C. Capturing Raindrops Through Creation D. Turning Charge Separation into Electricity

I put on a headset, and in seconds I am somewhere else. Large ice lies on dark water. Wind brushes past my ears, cold and strong. Moments later, I find myself inside a museum, leaning close to a painting I have never seen in real life. ____36____ This is the promise of virtual reality (VR): a world delivered to us without leaving home.
There is much to appreciate in this form of travel. ____37____ There is no need to consider weather conditions, health problems or money worries. You may enter distant places at any moment and leave just as freely. For those limited by schedule, health, or income, VR quietly clears away the difficulties that traditional travel often brings.
____38____ Travelers walk through unfamiliar streets, taste local dishes, and communicate face-to-face with people shaped by different traditions. Such experiences wake up the senses and create lasting memories. More importantly, they change how places feel to us, not just how we understand them.
This difference is clear, because learning about a destination is not the same as being there. Virtual travel offers designed scenes and programmed feelings, but it remains carefully controlled. Real travel, by contrast, is shaped by the unknown. ____39____ In those unplanned moments, understanding becomes lived rather than recorded.
Virtual reality will undoubtedly continue to develop, enriching how we plan journeys and imagine distant worlds. Still, it cannot replace (代替)actual presence. Travel is not simply about seeing farther; it is also about feeling where you stand. ____40____
A. I am not moving, yet I am traveling.
B. Yet real travel leaves a deeper mark.
C. My feet ache as my journey continues across the day.
D. Virtual journeys are convenient, time-saving, and widely accessible.
E. Some knowledge, it seems, only arrives when your feet are on the ground.
F. It demands choices, adaptation, and continuous awareness of the unexpected.
G. But the convenience may gradually weaken our curiosity to explore the real world.

In the scientific field, just as important as raising our voices is how we come together. Progress doesn’t happen ____41____; it’s fueled by cooperation. Like a music band where every instrument plays its part, scientists from different backgrounds harmonize their expertise (专门技术) to create something greater than the ____42____ of its parts.
I’ve witnessed that cooperative power firsthand through an initiative called Native Plant Hub. This initiative brings together local governments, tribal communities, academic institutions, and private landowners. Their ____43____ mission? Addressing critical shortages in native plant materials to support fire reduction, foreign species control, and habitat restoration across the western United States.
It couldn’t have succeeded without the combined expertise of these ____44____ groups. Each contributes something essential, proving that large-scale conservation efforts don’t happen ___45___; they require long-term investment, cooperation, and commitment. It’s a model for how we should ____46____ solutions that encourage innovation and transform the world. That’s why I’m so passionate about the CES network — it’s right there in the name: Cooperative Ecosystem Studies. Exchanging knowledge and expertise is the foundation of scientific progress. Through partnerships, improvements emerge that might ____47____ remain difficult to achieve. For example, a project highlight I’m currently writing looks at the cooperation between University of Oregon researchers and the Park Service to study the cultural landscape of Carlsbad Caverns. When the Service suggested bringing in a cave microbiologist, the university team ____48____ hadn’t considered the role of microscopic life in preservation. But once involved, the microbiologist’s advice proved ____49____.
One key moment came when the team faced the ____50____ of a worsening historic wooden staircase, which had become a habitat for microorganisms. Without precautions(预防措施,), disturbing the structure could have ____51____ the cave’s delicate ecosystem. Before removing it, the microbiologist proposed covering the staircase to ____52____ unintended harm. After the successful relocation, the team proposed using projected images to illustrate its former ____53____, enabling visitors to appreciate its historical significance.
This cooperation — combining scientific expertise with cultural preservation — safeguarded both the cave’s ecological ____54____ and historical significance. The result is an approach that ____55____ environmental conservation and cultural preservation, ensuring the long-term protection of our national parks.
Too often, scientific research operates separately. But real progress doesn’t come from opposition; it comes from cooperation.

67. 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 Young was on his way home from a hard day’s work at a construction site, carrying his worn-out hammer which had accompanied him through thick and thin. With each step, his mind was filled with worry as he racked his brain to find money for his seriously ill son, Andrew, who was in great need of heart surgery.
Tom had run out of choices and time. Desperation was beginning to set in, but he refused to let his son suffer helplessly. As he walked, the weight of his troubles pressed heavily on his shoulders. So desperate was he that he even heard a hum in his ears. The next moment the hum was entirely covered by a loud sound.
He turned in shock, and what he saw took his breath away. An expensive luxury car was wrapped around a big tree on the other side of the street, with its front twisted and flames starting to spring up from the car.
Without a second thought, he ran to the flaming car. He noticed that although the young lady in the driver’s seat did not seem to have been severely injured - apparently because of the open airbag - she was unconscious. Tom saw that the flames began to grow increasingly intense. He realized that he had to get the girl out of the car immediately because there was a high risk of the vehicle exploding at any time.
He grabbed the handle and pulled it, but the door was bent and did not open. He used all his strength and tried again, but in vain. It was a sports car, so it had only two doors, and the other one was blocked by the tree. He decided that he had to break the glass to take her out as quickly as possible. He struck it forcefully with his fist but realized that there was no way he could break the thick glass with bare hands, and the flames were getting bigger.
