At first, he was upset as everyday routines became huge difficulties for him. However, the real challenge was the fear that held him back. But after a few months, Zhao decided to make a change. Amazingly, he discovered his phone could “talk” to him. With it, he could read messages and search for information. “Technology has helped me return to daily life,” Zhao said. Later, Alpha, a guide dog, came into his life and gave him the confidence to take further steps. With Alpha at his side and technology in hand, Zhao started his “Walking through China” journey. He took trains, explored unfamiliar streets in new cities, and shared his experiences online. So far, Zhao has visited many cities. Along the way, many strangers moved him with their kindness. A taxi driver in Zhaoqing described landmarks for him. Subway workers in Kunming guided him to a flower market. “Public transport gives visitors their first impression of a city,” Zhao said. “When people are nice, I want to explore more.” Zhao’s videos open a window into the lives of visually impaired people (视障人士). A taxi driver once said that after watching his videos, he had a new understanding of them. “I didn’t do this to inspire anyone, but if people see me and realize we’re not so different, that’s enough,” Zhao said.

It commonly lives in grasslands, farmlands, and wetlands. It’s an important part of nature as it serves as food for many other animals. What makes it special is its tail. The tail helps the mouse hold onto grass and climb skillfully. However, these little mice are in danger. Their numbers naturally go up and down because they are easily influenced by changes in the weather and food shortages. More seriously, over the last century, housing development and changes in land use have taken over their living areas. Modern farming methods, like using chemicals and large harvesting machines, are also harmful to harvest mice. Scientists believe their numbers in Britain are declining. Best friends Eva Wishart and Emily Smith, both 13 years old, decided to act. They started their project and worked with Derek Gow, an expert in helping species return to the wild. They kept the harvest mice at their own home and prepared a safe place to release (放生) them when the mice were old enough. In 2025, Eva and Emily released more than 220 harvest mice back into the wild. “The harvest mice are our friends. I’m proud they can live in the wild,” said Eva. Emily added, “It’s great they can play their part in nature.” Following this success, the two girls are planning another release. They’re not the only ones working to help the harvest mice. For over 20 years, Chester Zoo has also been keeping and releasing these mice. Recently, a wildlife organisation started a national survey, encouraging volunteers to look for and report the nests of the harvest mice. ( ) 31. What puts harvest mice in danger? ① The mice’s small size and weight. ② Changes in the weather and food shortages. ③ New buildings and changes in land use. ④ The use of chemicals and large machines. A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④ ( ) 32. What can we learn about the two girls’ project? A. The girls released the mice at Chester Zoo. B. The girls kept the mice at Derek Gow’s home. C. The success was mainly because of the expert’s help. D. The project needed the girls’ long‑time effort and care. ( ) 33. Why does the writer mention Chester Zoo and the national wildlife survey? A. To show more efforts made to protect the mice. B. To show the government’s support for the project. C. To give advice on how to help save harvest mice. D. To compare their different ways of helping mice. ( ) 34. Which is the best title for the passage? A. The harvest mice in the wild B. Ways to protect wild animals C. Efforts to save the tiny harvest mice D. Harvest mice: a small species in danger ( ) 35. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. The harvest mouse’s tail helps it run very fast on the ground. B. Eva and Emily are 13‑year‑old girls who saved over 220 harvest mice. C. Chester Zoo has done research on harvest mice for less than 20 years. D. Volunteers are asked to catch the nests of harvest mice in the survey. 四、任务型阅读(共5小题，每小题2分，共10分) Every year, around 100 million birds in the UK fly into glass by mistake. Many birds get hurt, and some even die. 36 Birds see the world in a different way from humans. 37 When a bird sees the reflection of a tree or the sky in a window, it thinks the reflection is real. The bird then flies towards the glass and hits it. This can cause great harm (伤害) to the bird. Now, one nature reserve (保护区) in England is trying to solve this problem by putting an ultraviolet (UV) (紫外线) film on windows. The film can make birds see the glass easily, but it is still see-through for humans. 38 They can see UV light, but humans cannot. Putting a UV film on windows is a win-win for humans and birds. 39 To humans, the windows look normal and clear, so they can keep on looking out of the windows and enjoying the view! A restaurant near the nature reserve uses this film on its floor-to-ceiling (落地式的) windows. This way, people can sit inside and enjoy birdwatching through the windows over the wetlands. 40 Anna Cork, who works at the nature reserve, says she is proud to be taking meaningful action to protect their feathered friends. A.Birds have highly developed eyes. B.They do not understand reflections (映像). C.Thousands of birds stop over there every year. D.This problem is very serious for birds and for nature.
