One evening in California, while helping my daughter, Julianna, prepare for a yard sale, I stepped carelessly between the wooden boards and felt the floor give way beneath me. I had grown used to that sinking feeling ever since losing my wife, Amy, to cancer in 2024—the sight of an old cup could suddenly make my world fall apart. But this time, I was falling for real. Julianna shouted, “Daddy, get out now!” After a hard struggle, I finally pulled myself out.
As I walked downstairs, I thought about how differently Amy would have dealt with things. She had always been the family’s guide — calm and dependable — while I was careless and always depended on her to keep my life in order. After she was gone, I tried to become a focused solo parent, yet I kept making mistakes. I forgot rubbish night until it attracted huge wild animals; I burned carrots until smoke filled the kitchen; I even let our WiFi get disconnected, and Julianna asked, “You’re pretty bad at this, aren’t you?”
Her words made me think. That was when I began to understand that bravery — the kind Amy had always shown — was not about avoiding mistakes, but about facing them when it mattered most.
The morning after I fell, I discovered that someone had covered Julianna’s yard sale signs with red tape (胶带). Without thinking twice, I walked down the street and caught a young man who told me he did it for “friendly competition”, but this time I stood my ground. To my surprise, people nearby gathered and spoke ill of him. When I told Julianna what happened, she laughed and said, “Now you’re getting embarrassing.” But I didn’t mind. For the first time, I understood that bravery did not belong only to my wife — It had been inside me all along. This has been the hardest year of my life, but I am learning that laughter is how we tell ourselves we might get through this together.
24. Which word can best describe the father’s life after his wife’s death?
A. Peaceful. B. Lonely. C. Organized. D. Struggling.
25. What does the father learn from his wife?
A. Avoiding making any mistakes in daily life. B. Braving challenges when they appear.
C. Depending on others when raising children. D. Keeping life orderly as his wife did.
26. How did the father deal with the man who damaged his daughter’s signs?
A. By removing the red tape by himself. B. By asking neighbors for help.
C. By taking a clear stand against the man. D. By debating heatedly with the man.
27. What message does the story mainly convey?
A. Every cloud has a silver lining. B. Practice makes perfect.
C. Difficulties make a man wise. D. Actions speak louder than words.
C
When French writer Cedric Duroux topped an Icelandic mountain in 2018, he first thought it was breathtakingly beautiful — until one of the guides gently told him that everything around him used to be a glacier (冰川). This was when he truly realized how serious climate change was.
In recent years, more tourists have started seeking similar experiences by visiting landscapes that may soon disappear because of climate change. Known as last-chance tourism, this “see-it-before-it’s-gone” practice is contentious(有争议的): research suggests that the fuel (燃料) needed to travel to these places may actually speed up their disappearance, while supporters say that, done responsibly, it can inspire travelers to protect these places.
The negative impacts of overtourism on fragile (脆弱的) ecosystems are well documented. As the seas warm and gas-powered boats bring more people to the Great Barrier Reef, the area has experienced its worst coral bleaching (珊瑚白化). As more tourists travel to Antarctica every year, they risk introducing harmful species that threaten its ecosystem.
Still, last-chance tourism isn’t likely to go away. Robin Craig, an environmental protection professor, argues that guides and park managers should turn travelers’ emotions — from wonder to sadness — into action to help preserve these sites, yet they are not prepared. So right now, much of the responsibility still falls on the tourists themselves. Craig suggests that travelers consider three things: Are they traveling in an environmentally friendly way? Are their activities harming the place they visit? And what protective actions will they take once back home?
In Antarctica, for example, guide Ashley Perrin recommends that travelers look for tour operators that limit landing sites based on wildlife activity. During the trip, travelers can further support protection by contributing to scientific research — tracking clouds and weather, gathering data on bird migrations (迁徙) and mapping waste in the landscape. Perrin says that people won’t protect what they don’t know. “We need people to go and see these environments in order to fall in love with them — in order to protect them.”
28. What made Cedric Duroux deeply aware of severe climate change?
A. Some research results about global glacier melting.
B. The breathtaking scenery of an Icelandic mountain.
C. A guide’s warning about dangerous mountain climbing.
D. The disappearing glacier around the mountain he climbed.
29. Why are the Great Barrier Reef and Antarctica mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. To illustrate their attraction. B. To compare their ecosystems.
C. To show the damage of mass tourism. D. To stress the impact of climate change.
30. Which of the following is suggested to help preserve the sites like Antarctica?
A. Aiding with data collection. B. Limiting the tourist number.
C. Funding scientific research. D. Closing the sites to tourists.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Last-Chance Tourism: Now or Never
B. Climate Change: Reshapes Final Frontier
C. Climate Change: A Challenge for Tourism
D. Last-Chance Tourism: From Seeing to Saving
D
The science of why insects gather around lights at night has never been nailed down. Popular theories propose that moths and other insects navigate (导航) by the moon and mistake lamps for moonlight, or that the insects fly towards light to escape coming danger. Now researchers believe they have a more persuasive answer: contrary to current theories, insects are not attracted to light from far away, but become trapped if they fly close to an artificial (人造的) light source.
According to Dr Sam Fabian, study co-author and Imperial College London entomologist, moths and many other insects that fly at night evolved to tilt (倾斜) their backs to wherever is brightest. For hundreds of millions of years, this was the sky rather than the ground. The trick told insects which way was up and ensured they flew level. But then came artificial lighting. Moths found themselves tilting their backs to street lamps. This caused them to circle around the lamps endlessly, the insects trapped by their evolution.
Fabian and his colleagues filmed insect flight paths around lights in the lab. The videos reveal that time and again, moths and dragonflies turned their backs to artificial lights, which appeared to greatly change their flight paths. If the light is above them, they might start circling it, but if it’s behind them, they start tilting backwards and end up flying in circles or diving toward the ground.
Researchers have long warned that light pollution is a big driving force in the dramatic decline in insect populations. Moths and other insects that become trapped around lamps become easily caught by bats. The artificial lighting can also fool them into thinking it is daytime, causing them to bed down and skip a night’s feeding.
There are, Fabian believes, helpful lessons from the research. “What this tells us is that the direction of artificial light matters. Could we change lighting environments to not trap insects? For we’re facing a massive decline in insects around the world, and artificial light at night is one of the factors that could potentially be leading to this decline,” Fabian said.
32. What do the underlined words “nailed down” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Popularized widely. B. Discussed openly.
C. Defined accurately. D. Explored academically.
33. Fabian’s study found that moths circle around the lamps endlessly because ______.
A. they can’t keep their balance B. they use improper flight attitude
C. they lose track of which way is up D. they are attracted to lights from far away
34. What is the significance of the research finding?
A. It may lead to better protection of insects.
B. Natural enemies of insects will be got rid of.
C. Artificial lighting will be greatly reduced at night.
D. It may raise concerns for insects’ eating behavior.
35. What is the text mainly about?
A. Why insects lose their ability to fly at night.
B. Why insects get trapped by artificial light.
C. How artificial light impacts insect populations.
D. How insects evolved distinct strategies of flight.

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。
Flextime is a flexible hours schedule in which employees choose their own working hours, usually working within approximate limits set by the employer or by the government. 36
For employees, flextime has a clear advantage. 37 For example, people can use flextime to create schedules which will allow them to go to school, handle childcare, help relatives, and perform other tasks. Employees may also use their flextime to create a schedule which optimizes creativity, as in the case of someone who would prefer to work earlier in the day to get more accomplished.
38 First, it tends to increase employees’ satisfaction. This makes the company a better and more productive place to work. In addition, flextime can allow companies to serve clients for a great portion of the day, as employees will be around at varying hours to answer phones, attend meetings, and so on.
Most flextime schedules include core time. 39 Employees are also usually given an hourly, daily or weekly limit to ensure that they do not break laws about working hours. Or the company is only willing to pay wages for so many hours of work each week.
A classic example of a flexible time schedule is that someone who works four 10-hour shifts a week can take three days off. Flextime can also be combined with flexplace, in which the environment is better than that of the office. 40 Employers may also allow people to work in untraditional settings such as coffee houses.
A. Employers benefit from flextime a lot.
B. It’s also seen as a family-friendly policy.
C. However, flextime may not be applicable to all fields.
D. It is a period of the day in which everyone is expected to be at work.
E. Many employers all over the world offer this method to their employees.
F. For example, home offices are increasingly popular among many companies.
G. It allows them to make changes to their work schedule which will suit their lives.
