With stunning visuals of Tamil Nadu's nature,The Elephant Whisperers,which won the Oscar in the documentary
short film category,tells a story of a loving relationship between people and elephants.
The filmmaker Kartiki Gonsalves spent her childhood in and around nature in southern India."My family loved
exploring nature,"she says.Her mother loved animals and her father was a photographer.Her grandmother led school trips
to local nature reserves.
The chance elephant encounter came in October 2017 that changed Gonsalves's life and stimulated her to make the
film."I was moving back to my hometown when I met Raghu,a three-month-old elephant in the Theppakadu Elephant
camp,"she recalls.Gonsalves was pleasantly surprised by how playful Raghu was.
"This documentary was made because I fell in love with Raghu first,"she says."We would happily splash (
along the river,and I would spend hours scrubbing him and rubbing his tongue.He absolutely loves his tongue being
rubbed and enjoyed pulling my hair and splashing around in the water.
In the film,Gonsalves takes viewers to the heart of Theppakadu Elephant camp in a landscape that is one of the
largest undisturbed spaces for the Asian elephant.Here,the Kattunayakan community has been caring for abandoned
elephants for generations.The documentary follows the journey of Bomman and Bellie,two elephant caretakers and the
baby elephant Raghu,who was abandoned by the herd but fortunately found by the forest department.As Bomman and
Bellie raised Raghu,their relationship progressed.The 40-minute documentary was cut down from more than 450 hours of
raw footage (and filmed over the last five years.
A lot of the moments in the documentary were unexpected but"that is the true beauty of telling a story as it unfolds."
Gonsalves says,"The Elephant Whisperers helps people realize what beautiful beings elephants were and to respect their
intelligence,how they love and understand their human caretakers,how they've learned to adapt and live with human.I

Eco-anxiety is a growing issue that reflects the increasing fear of environmental destruction and climate change.This
type of anxiety is particularly common among younger generations,who worry about the future of the planet.
Eco-anxiety is closely linked to environmental disasters such as heat waves,wildfires,and hurricanes.These events
can lead to long-term stress,depression,and even post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).The concept of "Solastalgia,"
which refers to emotional suffering caused by changes to one's environment,supports the reality of eco-anxiety.Although
the term"eco-anxiety"is more modern,the emotional response to environmental damage is well-documented.
Certain social,economic,and political factors can make some people more likely to suffer from eco-anxiety than
others.For instance,nearly half of the people in Southeast England express high levels of concern about climate change,
more than those in other regions.This heightened anxiety could be related to factors such as urbanization,the area's
growing population,and high levels of consumption,all of which contribute to environmental degradation.
There are several strategies people can use to manage eco-anxiety.One important approach is controlling how much
negative news you consume.Too much exposure to disturbing content on social media or news outlets can increase feelings
of worry and helplessness.Limiting this exposure and focusing on learning new and positive information can help you feel
more empowered.
Spending time in nature is another effective way to reduce eco-anxiety.Research shows that being in natural
environments,or even viewing nature from a window,can lower stress and improve mood.It fosters a deeper connection
试卷第3页(共10页)
with the environment and promotes calmness.
Journaling is also a helpful tool.Writing down your feelings can help reduce anxiety by organizing thoughts and
expressing emotions.Businesses like"Bloomin's Minds"combine mindfulness with sustainability by offering seeded cards
that customers can write on how they plant,and watch grow into flowers,creating a positive and calming experience.
As eco-anxiety becomes more widespread,mindful lifestyle changes are helping to reduce the impact of climate
change while easing anxiety.These practices enable individuals to contribute positively to the environment.
8.According to the text,which of the following may cause Solastalgia?
A.Seeing a nearby playground being cleared
B.Living in a region experiencing frequent rainfall.
C.Volunteering for an environmental conservation group.
D.Watching childhood park destroyed by city development.
9.What is the function of the example about people in England?
A.To show the geographic diversity of eco-anxiety.
B.To explain the impact of social anxiety on nature.
C.To criticize the lack of environmental policies in the area.
D.To stress the connection between urbanization and the issue.
10.Which strategy is helpful to manage eco-anxiety?
A.Limiting exposure to negative news.
B.Controlling the time of online surfing.
C.Trying to write down your adventures.
D.Engaging in outdoor physical exercises.
11.What does mindful living do for eco-anxiety in the last paragraph?
A.It leads people to forget about environmental problems and anxiety.
B.It offers practical ways for people to bravely face the climate issues.
C.It deepens a connection with the environment and promotes calmness.
D.It makes individuals feel more disconnected from environmental issues.

The ability to detect a nearby presence without seeing or touching it may sound fantastical-but it's a real ability that
some creatures have.A family of African fish known as Mormyrids are weakly electric,and have special organs that can
locate a nearby target,even when it's hiding in the mud.Scientists have now developed an artificial sensor system modelled
on the ability of these fish.
"We developed a new strategy for 3D motion positioning by electronic skin,bio-inspired by 'electric fish',"says Dr.

Xinge Yu,an associate professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the City University of Hong Kong.The
team described their e-skin sensor in a paper published on November 14 in Nature.
The artificial sensor is multi-layered.One layer acts as a transmitter ()which will generate an electric field
once activated,and another layer acts as a receiver to detect both the direction and the distance to an object.A separate
controller creates the driving signal to activate the transmitter.When an object comes within range,the electric field around
the sensor is disrupted ()which in turn can be detected by the receiver.This data is then processed by a
microcontroller unit,which computes the position of the target object and sends that information to a smartphone or other
devices.
A special biogel (is used in the sensor,which has the ability to transmit and receive electric signals from a
pattern of microchannels on the surface.The end result is a sensor that is thin,soft and flexible,making it cosy to adapt to
irregular surfaces,such as the human body.In contrast to the traditional sensor system that needs a large number of sensors
to achieve spatial positioning,the new system can locate an object precisely in 3D space using just a few sensors.This
significantly reduces the power consumption of data collection,transmission,and processing.
The researchers hope that this sensor could one day open up a new range of wearable technologies,including sensors
for human-machine interaction and thin,flexible e-skin
12.What is the primary function of the artificial sensor system developed by the researchers?
A.To generate electric fields for energy production.
B.To detect the presence of nearby objects without physical contact.
C.To transmit electric signals for communication.
D.To create a biogel for medical applications.
13.How does the artificial sensor system achieve 3D motion positioning?
A.By using a single-layer transmitter and receiver.
B.By disrupting the electric field around the sensor when an object is nearby.
C.By requiring a large number of sensors for spatial positioning.
D.By rely ing solely on the biogel for signal transmission.
14.What is the significance of using a biogel in the sensor system?
A.It increases the power consumption of the system.
B.It allows the sensor to be thin,soft,and flexible.
C.It enables the sensor to transmit electric signals wirelessly.
D.It is necessary for the sensor to function underwater.

Picture this:you've just settled into your workday and pulled up that big report you need to finish,when a friend
sends you a couple of celebrity videos on WeChat.16 And then the next thing you know,an hour has gone by
while that big report sits,ignored,on your desk.So how does that happen?
To understand this,we conducted a series of studies and identified three factors:the amount of media the person has
already viewed,the similarity of the media they've viewed,and the manner in which they viewed the media
We found the order and types of content we consume can affect our decision to keep consuming similar content.But
what drives this effect?17 When something feels more accessible,it becomes easier to process,leading us to
enjoy it more.
These results also explain why it's so easy to get distracted by apps on social media at work.18 They
offer bite-sized content that makes it easy to quickly consume several videos in a row.They often automatically suggest
similar content,and many of them even automatically start playing similar videos,reducing the potential for interruptions.
19 If you really want to watch multiple in a row,choose those that seem unrelated.You can also use a
social media timer that urges you to take a break after a certain amount of time,or even just consciously remind yourself to
consume different kinds of content.
So,if you're struggling to climb out of a rabbit hole,try to find ways to reduce the similarity,repetitiveness,and
relatedness of the content you're consuming.20 Once you manage to break free,you'll be back at that big report
in no time.
A.It can be difficult,but it's not impossible.
B.To fight the pull,make an effort to just watch one video
C.You figure you'll just take a few minutes to watch them.
D.Accessibility refers to how familiar a given kind of content feels.
E.This will be a problem if you are kept from focusing on your work
F.Many platforms are designed to trap viewers in a social media rabbit hole.

G.Prior research suggests the three factors increase the accessibility of similar media.

How tall are you?Do you21 your friends and family-or are they people you literally have to tower over?
22,we're not all the same,and size doesn't really 23 But did you know that there's a possibility that we're all
getting taller?
Of course,our height is out of our 24-it's a biological fact,25 partly by genetics.The idea that
being taller gives you more power and authority might be a tall story,but according to David Robson,writing for BBC
Future,"On the basis of first impressions alone,taller people may have the 26"He adds that 27 some
slight risks to your health,various studies have found that the greater your height,the 28 you score on measures of
happiness and 29 of life
If this makes you want to become taller,it's good to know that all of us are taller than we were 150 years ago-by
as much as ten centimeters.Scientists have known for a long time that humans with good diets and 30 access to
food tend to grow taller and mature more quickly.Adult height in some countries has31 as they transformed into a
developed society.
For those 32 to be taller,we need to look at the Dutch,who stand head and shoulders 33 the rest of
us as the tallest people in the world.But,of course tall people have to stoop through doorways and 34 to fit in cars
and can have joint problems,so maybe we should be 35 for what we wish for

One of my teachers once asked my class what our favourite memory was.She was asking for the moment in which
"you felt the best,you felt that you had the world in the palm of your hand."Some described grand awards;others
described winning a tournament.But I felt the best when I first learned how to ride my bike at thirteen.I didn't mind my
classmate's stares and snickering,because I knew there was more to the story.
My brother and I shared a typical brotherly relationship:we couldn't stand each other.Or,to be honest,he couldn't
stand me.I hero-worshipped him.My clothes mysteriously looked like his,and even my words tended to mimic those I
heard from him.Many times,I even wanted to literally follow my brother,sobbing every time I was prevented from
hanging around with him.Needless to say,I was an annoyance to him.Any sort of conversation we had usually degraded to
fighting,and uy as I might,my brother usually won.
After a while,I stopped trying to impress him and learned to be totally indifferent,perhaps the silent treatment would
get more approval.I was wrong.We soon fell into a sad pattern-I avoided him,he ignored me,and deep inside,it hurt.
Indifferent or hostile,he was only a brother in name.So that's how it was between us.I believed we would forever be apart,
two housemates without conversation,two strangers without warmth.And nothing more.
I still remember the day I learned to ride a bike.I had received it that Christmas,which was great,until I realized I
had no idea how to ride it.My mom was too busy and had long since abandoned any attempt to teach me.I decided to teach
myself to ride,a little bit each day,but in vain.On that fateful day,it was no different.I was coming to the end of my daily
one-hour torture,and I was so frustrated that I threw my bike aside and began to cry.

Picture this: you’ve just settled into your workday and pulled up that big report you need to finish, when a friend sends you a couple of celebrity videos on WeChat. 16 And then the next thing you know, an hour has gone by while that big report sits, ignored, on your desk. So how does that happen?
To understand this, we conducted a series of studies and identified three factors: the amount of media the person has already viewed, the similarity of the media they’ve viewed, and the manner in which they viewed the media.
We found the order and types of content we consume can affect our decision to keep consuming similar content. But what drives this effect? 17 When something feels more accessible, it becomes easier to process, leading us to enjoy it more.
These results also explain why it’s so easy to get distracted by apps on social media at work. 18 They offer bite-sized content that makes it easy to quickly consume several videos in a row. They often automatically suggest similar content, and many of them even automatically start playing similar videos, reducing the potential for interruptions.
19 If you really want to watch multiple in a row, choose those that seem unrelated. You can also use a social media timer that urges you to take a break after a certain amount of time, or even just consciously remind yourself to consume different kinds of content.
So, if you’re struggling to climb out of a rabbit hole, try to find ways to reduce the similarity, repetitiveness, and relatedness of the content you’re consuming. 20 Once you manage to break free, you’ll be back at that big report in no time.
A.It can be difficult, but it’s not impossible.
B.To fight the pull, make an effort to just watch one video.
C.You figure you’ll just take a few minutes to watch them.
D.Accessibility refers to how familiar a given kind of content feels.
E.This will be a problem if you are kept from focusing on your work.
F.Many platforms are designed to trap viewers in a social media rabbit hole.
G.Prior research suggests the three factors increase the accessibility of similar media.

How tall are you? Do you 21 your friends and family — or are they people you literally have to tower over? 22 , we’re not all the same, and size doesn’t really 23 . But did you know that there’s a possibility that we’ re all getting taller?
Of course, our height is out of our 24 — it’s a biological fact, 25 partly by genetics. The idea that being taller gives you more power and authority might be a tall story, but according to David Robson, writing for BBC Future, “On the basis of first impressions alone, taller people may have the 26 .” He adds that 27 some slight risks to your health, various studies have found that the greater your height, the 28 you score on measures of happiness and 29 of life.
If this makes you want to become taller, it’s good to know that all of us are taller than we were 150 years ago — by as much as ten centimeters. Scientists have known for a long time that humans with good diets and 30 access to food tend to grow taller and mature more quickly. Adult height in some countries has 31 as they transformed into a developed society.
For those 32 to be taller, we need to look at the Dutch, who stand head and shoulders 33 the rest of us as the tallest people in the world. But, of course tall people have to stoop through doorways and 34 to fit in cars and can have joint problems, so maybe we should be 35 for what we wish for.

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。
One of my teachers once asked my class what our favourite memory was. She was asking for the moment in which “you felt the best, you felt that you had the world in the palm of your hand. ” Some described grand awards; others described winning a tournament. But I felt the best when I first learned how to ride my bike at thirteen. I didn’t mind my classmate’s stares and snickering, because I knew there was more to the story.
My brother and I shared a typical brotherly relationship: we couldn’t stand each other. Or, to be honest, he couldn’t stand me. I hero-worshipped him. My clothes mysteriously looked like his, and even my words tended to mimic those I heard from him. Many times, I even wanted to literally follow my brother, sobbing every time I was prevented from hanging around with him. Needless to say, I was an annoyance to him. Any sort of conversation we had usually degraded to fighting, and try as I might, my brother usually won.
After a while, I stopped trying to impress him and learned to be totally indifferent; perhaps the silent treatment would get more approval. I was wrong. We soon fell into a sad pattern—I avoided him, he ignored me, and deep inside, it hurt. Indifferent or hostile, he was only a brother in name. So that’s how it was between us. I believed we would forever be apart, two housemates without conversation, two strangers without warmth. And nothing more.
I still remember the day I learned to ride a bike. I had received it that Christmas, which was great, until I realized I had no idea how to ride it. My mom was too busy and had long since abandoned any attempt to teach me. I decided to teach myself to ride, a little bit each day, but in vain. On that fateful day, it was no different. I was coming to the end of my daily one-hour torture, and I was so frustrated that I threw my bike aside and began to cry.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I guess that was what caused my brother to come outside.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
An hour later, I was showing off my riding skill to my mom.

46.Dear Ray,
I’m thrilled to hear of your interest in our Campus Labor Festival! You’re warmly welcome to visit our school during the event next Friday. Let me briefly introduce it.
First, students participate in a thorough campus clean-up, such as tidying classrooms and planting colorful flowers and trees around the school to create an inviting atmosphere. Moreover, we organize a handicraft fair where handmade items like recycled art are sold to raise funds for rural schools. Additionally, cooking competitions are held in the cafeteria, allowing us to showcase cooking skills using homegrown vegetables from our school garden. Through this festival we students not only cultivate responsibility, teamwork, and creativity through hands-on labor, but also strengthen our connectivity by combining practical work with charitable causes.
Looking forward to your visit for a memorable experience! Feel free to ask if you need further details!
Yours,
Li Hu

I guess that was what caused my brother to come outside. I turned my face away, fearing he would tease me. Unexpectedly, he gently picked my bike up and gestured me over, “Get on it.” His determined look smoothed away my doubts. As he gripped the back seat, I got on the bike, took a deep breath and started to pedal, holding tightly onto the handlebars. During the whole process, we didn’t talk much. He simply offered a few necessary instructions at times. But never once did he shout at me, nor did he let me fall. His patient teaching proved efficient and I gradually got the hang of riding.
An hour later, I was showing off my riding skill to my mom. She was amazed to see me riding steadily around the yard. While sharing my learning experience with her in excitement, I noticed my brother standing at a distance smiling at me. I cast him a grateful look and he nodded and then walked back into the house. From that day on, the sad pattern between us began to change. There were occasional conversations between us, filled with less embarrassment but increasing concern. I could feel a different kind of brotherly relationship slowly developing between us. I would always treasure that day as my favourite memory, the moment when I felt the best.
