Time Out surveyed 24,000 city-residents worldwide, asking them to rate their city’s green spaces and access to nature. Here are four top-rated cities, based on the percentage of the locals who rated their city’s green spaces as “good” or “amazing”. Rank City Green Spaces Score Key Feature 1 Bath, UK 94% Prior Park Landscape Garden (18th century) 2 Chicago, USA 89% Wild Mile — world’s first floating eco-park 3 Montreal, Canada 88% Mount Royal Park — 190 hectares 4 Riga, Latvia 87% 47% of the city land is green spaces ·Bath (UK) — This quiet British city took the crown as the world’s greenest city in 2026. Surrounded by Gloucestershire countryside, Bath is filled with both small gardens and large parks. The city has adopted a 10-year green plan to ensure a more sustainable and nature-rich future, using parks, gardens, and even canals as green corridors. ·Chicago (USA) — Nicknamed “the city in a garden”, Chicago has over 600 parks across 8,800 acres. The Chicago Park District manages these green spaces, which include not only traditional parks but also innovative projects like the Wild Mile, where boardwalks wind through native wetland plants. ·Montreal (Canada) — Named after Mount Royal, a triple-peaked hill, this Canadian city balances city life with nature. Mount Royal Park offers hiking and biking trails in summer, and cross-country skiing in winter, and is home to over 180 bird species. ·Riga (Latvia) — According to satellite data, the city has 39 percent tree coverage. As part of its long-term commitment under the European Commission’s “Green City Accord (协议)” through 2030, Riga has committed to protecting its parks to fight the urban heat island effect. This phenomenon happens when concrete and tarmac in cities trap more heat than the countryside, and Riga’s green spaces help cool things down. 21. What can we learn about Chicago’s Wild Mile? A. It is the largest park in the city. B. It floats on water as an eco-park. C. It was built in the 18th century. D. It has over 600 different parks within it. 22. What can visitors do in Mount Royal Park in Montreal? A. Enjoy summer hiking and biking. B. Feed various bird species. C. Experience the urban heat island effect. D. Wander boardwalks through native plants. 23. What do Bath and Riga have in common? A. Both have parks with a long history. B. Both are surrounded by countryside. C. Both have long-term plans for green spaces. D. Both use green spaces to connect different areas. B On a cold and wet evening in south London, a group of runners are doing something a little different. There are no exercise machines or gym mirrors in sight. Instead, they’re moving earth, clearing weeds, and smiling through the mud on a garden. Their warm-up was a one-mile jog through the city to get there. This is GoodGym in action. It’s a growing movement that’s redefining what it means to work out. The organization invites people to “get fit by doing good”, blending physical activity with hands-on community service. Members run, walk, or cycle to local projects that could range from sorting cans at a food bank, planting fruit trees, visiting an older adult, to moving furniture for someone in need. The idea began back in 2007 when the founder Ivo Gormley started running to deliver a newspaper to an elderly neighbor. At the time, he was feeling out of shape and missed the friendship of his old basketball team. “I just didn’t like that idea of going to a gym, going into a basement and lifting things that don’t really need lifting,” Gormley said. “I thought I could do something more useful in my exercise.” He started organizing runs to places in need of helping hands. The very first group tore down outdated posters in his east London neighborhood. Since then, GoodGym has grown into a registered charity with over 26,000 members in 67 locations. Now it’s aiming to expand into Scotland and Northern Ireland. Though few other organizations blend exercise and volunteering in quite the same way, Gormley believes the concept taps into something timeless. “It’s what people have always done, right?” he said. “You grow some food literally through the action of planting and digging. That’s where your exercise comes from.” 24. Why does the author describe the runners working on a garden? A. To applaud their efforts. B. To describe a tough task. C. To compare different exercises. D. To introduce a new tendency. 25. What is the core value of GoodGym? A. Diversifying fitness methods. B. Lending a hand during workouts. C. Professionalizing volunteer work. D. Standardizing community service. 26. What inspired Gormley to start the organization? A. His personal failure. B. His physical condition. C. Influences from other runners. D. His reflection on workouts. 27. What does Gormley imply about GoodGym in the last paragraph? A. It matches the idea of a natural lifestyle. B. It highlights the benefits of physical labor. C. It fills the gap in traditional physical training. D. It acts as an ideal alternative for modern gyms. C Mushrooms have been used by ancient humans for thousands of years, but archaeologists have only just uncovered their significant role in shaping civilisation. Seventy-five years ago, in a wetland in Yorkshire, UK, archaeologists found the perfectly preserved remains of dozens of 11, 000-year-old mushrooms. Carefully cut and intentionally burned, it is thought that they were used by hunter-gatherers as tinder on their travels, enabling them to stay warm and cook food while on the move. The discovery was so unlikely because fungi (真菌) are composed mostly of water, meaning they rapidly rot and disappear, and so are almost totally absent from the fossil (化石) record. As such, the unexpected ways that mushrooms helped our ancient ancestors survive have long remained secret, seemingly lost to time. But in the past few years, new tools have finally allowed us to identify fungal DNA and micro-residues in the mouths, utensils and clothing of prehistoric humans. Until a decade ago, prehistoric diets were thought to consist only of meat and plants, excluding mushrooms. Yet rooted views about ancient daily choices are quietly shifting. In 2017, Weyrich’s team analysed the DNA in Palaeolithic dental plaque. They revealed that a group of Neanderthals in what is now Belgium supplemented their meaty meals with grey shag mushrooms, while those from a cave in northern Spain dined on split gill mushrooms. One member of the Spanish group, who lived around 48, 000 years ago, even chewed on grasses with penicillin fungi, and may have deliberately sought out this antibiotic fungus to reduce dental pain. These breakthroughs are highlighting how a hidden fungal kingdom fed, healed and warmed our Stone Age ancestors, with recent discoveries even illustrating how fungi helped hold early farming communities together, paving the way for the civilisation we live in today. “By revealing the invisible evidence in the archaeological record, we now see how fungal connections helped the earliest Neolithic communities to develop an understanding of their land and their society,” says Liu Li at Stanford University in California. 28. What does the underlined word “tinder” in paragraph 2 probably refer to? A. A water-heater. B. A fire starter. C. An ancient cooker. D. An easy-to-use cutter. 29. Why was fungi’s role in civilisation unknown? A. They formed special fossils. B. They grow only in wetlands. C. They are hard to preserve long. D. They were burned out intentionally. 30. Why is one member of the Spanish group mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To illustrate the updated view. B. To make a scientific prediction. C. To confirm the previous thought. D. To introduce a new research method. 31. What may Liu Li most likely agree with? A. Mushrooms built the modern civilisation. B. Fungi glued (粘牢；凝聚) early farming groups together. C. Old methods were widely used in archaeology. D. Ancient people had a deep understanding of fungi. D When I first learned to play tennis, my coach’s advice was simple: “Practice, practice, practice.” Though this saying is common, is it entirely scientific? Neuroscientists recently revealed a key point: it is clear errors, not just enough repetition, that drive cerebellar (小脑的) learning. To understand why, we must look at how the cerebellum actually learns. Our cerebellum relies on “error signals” from climbing fibers — when we make a motor error, these fibers fire to alert the brain to adjust. Such signals stimulate calcium (钙) bursts, driving neuroplasticity (神经重塑) in the Purkinje cells, which is the foundation of learning. But a puzzle remains: climbing fibers also activate (激活) inhibitory (抑制的) cells that should block this process. A 2026 Nature study solved this by discovering a hidden “disinhibitory” circuit. Using high-resolution microscopy, a technique for observing extremely small biological structures, researchers found that in mice, climbing fibers don’t activate all inhibitory cells the same way — they specifically target a type called MLI2 cells, which are normally inactive. Instead of directly slowing down the Purkinje cells, MLI2 cells turn off MLI1 cells, which act as “learning brakes” that weaken calcium signals. This mechanism is most effective when multiple climbing fibers fire at the same time, which usually occurs after obvious errors. It is this firing activity that lifts the “learning brakes”, allowing Purkinje cells to generate strong signals for long-lasting learning. This is why obvious mistakes rather than mere repetition promote lasting learning. While the study was done in mice, the cerebellum’s functions are conserved across species, so the findings apply to humans. This means the brain learns most effectively when errors are obvious, whether you’re mastering a musical instrument, a new language, or a complex skill. The old saying still holds but needs an update: Practice alone doesn’t make perfect; practice with noteworthy mistakes does. So the next time you are struggling to master a new skill, let go of perfectionism and welcome mistakes. 32. How does the author introduce the new finding? A. By mentioning a tennis skill. B. By highlighting a clear mistake. C. By interpreting an old saying. D. By questioning a common belief. 33. What directly stimulates neuroplasticity? A. Motor errors. B. Calcium signals. C. Inhibitory cells. D. Learning brakes. 34. What is a function of MLI2 cells? A. Blocking the Purkinje cells. B. Activating inhibitory cells. C. Weakening calcium bursts. D. Holding back MLI1 cells. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Hard Practice Leads to Mastery B. Old Sayings Need to Be Updated C. Learning Starts with Clear Errors D. Inhibitory Cells Work in Learning 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Learning the word for fish in Chinese can be a highly useful skill.

It was the first time in years that she had had a good night’s slcep and stayed in bed until after seven. Her husband and son had gone skiing, leaving her home alone for a week. The house was calm and peaceful. “What a great feeling to wake up and not have to do anything. I’ll take a nap before I eat,” Mia thought to herself. She turned around and closed her eyes again. However, a few minutes later, she woke up to a strange sound ... “What is that?” thought Mia, suddenly waking up. The sound stopped, and then came again. She listened carefully. “It’s coming from the window” she said, getting out of bed and approaching the window. When she pulled the curtain (窗帘) aside, she couldn’t believe what she saw. There, in the corner of the windowsill (窗台), was a small nest with two baby squirrels (松鼠) sleeping inside. The curtain had been closed for weeks, so she had never noticed them. “I have to take a picture,” she thought excitedly. She grabbed her camera and started taking photos of the cute little squirrels. She watched them hugging each other in their sleep. Their little faces looked so peaceful. “Their mother must have gone out to look for food,” Mia thought. She wished she could open the window to pet them, but it was stuck. Then she brought the camera closer for a better look. Through the lens, she saw something terrifying. On a tree branch right across from her window sat a large eagle (鹰), staring directly at the baby squirrels. Its sharp eyes were fixed on the nest. “This must be a joke,” Mia thought, her face turning pale. She adjusted the lens and took a closer look. It was real. The eagle was waiting for its chance to attack. “Why does this have to happen when I am alone at home?” she cried to herself. 注意：1.所续与短文的词数应为150左石； 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好.
