Influential UK firm Heatherwick Studio has been arranged to transform an island in Seoul, South Korea, from a wasteland into a public park. The ambitious project, named Soundscape, will feature a raised walkway, greenery filled buildings, and more.
Nodeul Island, which is situated in the Han River, was an unimpressive island that was used to store waste and fenced off from the public, gaining a reputation (名声) as an “obliterated” island as it fell into disuse over the decades. The local government recently decided to re-imagine it as a new tourist attraction for locals and visitors.
It will now be arranged around a central raised walkway. This will include a walkway with a length of 1.25 km (almost 0.8 mile) that draws inspiration from both the patterns of sound waves and Seoul’s surrounding mountainous landscape.
“So often when people use the word culture they mean museums and galleries, but that only speaks to a part of the public,” says the studio founder Thomas Heatherwick. “Instead, Nodeul Island will be one of the most public places that any citizen can enjoy, where sound is central to the whole experience — fixed into the landscape, the installations (装置), and the programming. Soundscape will be somewhere you can breathe and feel alive-an invitation to listen, discover and connect with your fellow citizens.”
Planned ground-level features include a new public beach, with plants and trees. There will also be visitor spaces including recording studios, an art center, concert halls, a waterfront theater, a K-Pop experience center, and a cafe-all of which will feature considerable greenery too.
Construction on Soundscape will take place in stages, allowing ongoing access to parts of the island and it’s expected to be completed in 2028. Heatherwick Studio has a lot of experience with these sorts of projects in recent years, and in addition to the Little Island which has been built, it has also revealed plans for the Cove and the Leaf.
8. Which word has the closest meaning to “obliterated” in paragraph 2?
A. Forgotten. B. Polluted. C. Crowded. D. Popularized.
9. What is Thomas Heatherwick’s view on Nodeul Island?
A. It will focus on traditional culture. B. It will separate locals from visitors.
C. It will be a private space for artists. D. It will be an accessible space featured sound.
10. What can we infer about Heatherwick Studio?
A. It mainly works on artificial islands. B. It is good at rebuilding urban spaces.
C. It has finished the Soundscape project. D. It first proposed the Little Island Project.
11. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Ways to Build Public Parks in Seoul B. The Creativity of A Famous UK Firm.
C. Nodeul Island’s Transformation Plan D. Heatherwick Studio’s Successful Projects
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. C

Exciting news from the University of Waterloo! A team of devoted researchers, led by PhD student Wei Wei, has made a remarkable discovery that holds the potential to change plastic waste into acetic acid (醋酸), using the power of sunlight.
Dr. Yimin Wu, a professor at the university, shared their inspiring vision, saying, “Our goal was to solve the plastic pollution challenge by changing microplastic waste into high-value products using sunlight.” This mission is especially significant as plastic waste, particularly microplastics, has spread across ecosystems worldwide, raising serious concerns about its impact on both wildlife and human health.
With global plastic recycling rates still falling behind, this research team has stepped up to the challenge. They have developed a bio-inspired photocatalysis (光催化) method using special iron atoms (铁原子). This technology copies how certain fungi (真菌) break down organic matter, showing the creativity of nature.
When placed under sunlight, the material drives a series of chemical reactions that change plastic into acetic acid with high selectivity. The reaction takes place in water, which is particularly important for addressing plastic pollution in waters.
The study shows that this method can effectively produce acetic acid from common plastics and it works well even with mixed plastic types. This adaptability makes the approach a promising replacement to traditional plastic burning, supporting eco-friendly use of materials and offering a fresh strategy for upcycling.
Roy Brouwer, coauthor of the research, stresses the benefits of this innovation, noting, “In terms of business and society, the financial and economic benefits related to this innovation seem promising.”
The research findings also open up exciting new ways for directly addressing microplastics. By breaking down plastics at the chemical level, this process could play an important role in preventing the build-up of microplastics in our water systems.
While still at the laboratory stage, the team expects that this approach could be adapted for large-scale, broader environmental cleanup and the photocatalytic upcycling system can be further improved.
12. What led the research team to start their study originally?
A. Rising recycling rates of plastic. B. Business profits from acetic acid.
C. Discovery of sunlight’s chemical power. D. Plastic pollution’s widespread harm.
13. What can we learn about the photocatalysis method?
A. It can be applied to various plastics.
B. It can completely remove microplastics.
C. It breaks down plastics faster than burning.
D. It needs high temperatures to support reactions.
14. What does the team expect of their research findings?
A. Helping reduce chemical use. B. Coming into use immediately.
C. Being used on a larger scale. D. Opening up a market for acetic acid.
15. Where is the text most probably taken from?
A. A guidebook to waste treatment. B. A scientific research report.
C. A brochure on acetic acid production. D. A review on the plastic industry.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】

Should We Introduce Technology to Traditional Theme Parks?
I am a strong supporter of integrating advanced technology into traditional theme parks. In my view, this evolution is not only beneficial but necessary for their long-term success.
Firstly, technologies like VR can bring stories and characters to life in unimaginable ways, creating deeply immersive experiences that surpass traditional rides. This can attract younger generations who have grown up in a digital world. Secondly, technology can make parks more accessible and efficient. For example, interactive apps can reduce waiting time, and AR can provide educational content, making a visit both fun and informative.
Therefore, I believe that thoughtfully applied technology is a powerful tool to enhance rather than diminish the classic charm of our beloved parks.

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。
Ethan, a high school senior known for his fast running, had one dream: to win the upcoming 5,000-meter race at the city championships. For months, he had trained hard, waking up at dawn every day. His biggest rival (对手) was Leo, a runner from a neighboring school, who had beaten Ethan by a hair in the previous year’s final.
One week before the big race, during a practice run on a quiet country road, Ethan spotted a young boy sitting alone on a broken bicycle, crying. The boy’s name was Sam. He had a flat tire and didn’t have a phone to call his parents. Sam was supposed to be home in twenty minutes, or his mother would be very worried.
Ethan looked at his stopwatch. He was in the middle of a timed speed practice. If he stopped to help Sam, he would lose precious training time and possibly his chance to beat Leo. However, looking at Sam’s teary eyes, Ethan sighed, turned off his stopwatch, and knelt down.
“Don’t worry, little man. Let me get you home,” Ethan said. He lifted the broken bicycle onto his shoulder and walked Sam back home, which was two miles away. It took them nearly an hour. When they finally arrived, Sam’s mother hugged Ethan tightly. “Thank you,” she said. “You are a real hero.”
Ethan just smiled and ran back home, but his legs felt heavy. He had missed an important practice.
On the day of the race, Ethan felt unprepared. He stood at the starting line, his legs still aching from the long walk days ago. Beside him, Leo stretched confidently. The gun went off. For the first three laps, Ethan stayed behind. His lungs burned, and he wanted to give up.
But as he started the fourth lap, he heard a familiar voice from the crowd. “Go, Ethan! Go, big brother!” It was Sam, holding a hand-painted sign that read: “My Hero.”
注意:

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Seeing Sam’s smiling face and the sign, Ethan felt a sudden rush of energy. Forgetting all his tiredness, he quickened his pace and began to overtake the runners one by one. His heart pounding with excitement, he caught up with Leo on the last lap. The two runners were neck and neck, pushing forward with every ounce of energy. With all his strength, he sprinted toward the finish line, his eyes fixed on the red ribbon ahead. The crowd cheered wildly as Ethan crossed the line first, a bright smile spreading across his face.
When the results were announced, Leo came over to shake Ethan’s hand. “Congratulations, you deserve it,” Leo said sincerely, a warm smile on his face. Ethan shook his hand firmly and thanked him, feeling a sense of pride and relief. Looking into the crowd, he saw Sam waving excitedly and running toward him. Sam ran over and hugged Ethan tightly, tears of happiness in his eyes. “You taught me that kindness is the real victory,“ Ethan thought, realizing that helping others was what truly mattered. That day, Ethan understood that the greatest reward was not the medal but the joy of doing good.

The Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) is excited to announce that Michael Suman is the recipient of the 2026 William R. Simms Award for Outstanding Youth. The award, sponsored by Carter Company through the AFP Foundation for Philanthropy (慈善), honors young people with a proven record of exceptional generosity, who demonstrate outstanding civic and charitable responsibility.
Motivated by his mother’s experience living with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), an immune disorder, Michael founded Detailing for MCAS in 2021. Through hands-on service, education, and community organizing, Detailing for MCAS has raised more than $100,000 to support hospitals, patient families, and rare disease research programs.
Michael personally oversees key aspects of Detailing for MCAS, including budgeting, communications, and strategic partnerships, while developing a scalable leadership model that empowers youth worldwide. Through his Young Detailers program, he trains students to host local service events, and his International Awareness Webinar Series (IAWS) connects medical experts, patients, and young volunteers across continents, expanding international outreach and education.
What started as a one-person effort has transformed into a global volunteer network hosting more than 200 events, distributing over 500 care packages, engaging over 250 youth volunteers, and partnering with world-famous institutions including Johns Hopkins Children’s Center.
“I’m deeply honored to be recognized by the Association of Fundraising Professionals,” said Michael. “My work comes from the belief that we are called to serve others and to use what we’ve been given to make a meaningful difference. Fundraising, to me, is more than raising resources — it is an act of careful management, sympathy, and faith in action. I’m grateful for the opportunity to be part of a network committed to serving with integrity and purpose.”
“With experience growing global initiatives, I know firsthand the energy, enthusiasm and determination Michael must possess that has led to this success at this scale,” said Bob Carter, chairman of Carter Company. “We at Carter are honored to recognize his achievement thus far and look forward to following his journey as a powerful force for understanding and treating MCAS.”

A. His parent’s health struggle. B. His academic achievements.
C. The encouragement from his mom. D. The hope to be exceptionally generous.
5. Why does the author mention Young Detailers and IAWS in paragraph 3?
A. To illustrate the significance of charity work.
B. To demonstrate volunteers’ contribution.

Influential UK firm Heatherwick Studio has been arranged to transform an island in Seoul, South Korea, from a wasteland into a public park. The ambitious project, named Soundscape, will feature a raised walkway, greenery filled buildings, and more.
Nodeul Island, which is situated in the Han River, was an unimpressive island that was used to store waste and fenced off from the public, gaining a reputation (名声) as an “obliterated” island as it fell into disuse over the decades. The local government recently decided to re-imagine it as a new tourist attraction for locals and visitors.
It will now be arranged around a central raised walkway. This will include a walkway with a length of 1.25 km (almost 0.8 mile) that draws inspiration from both the patterns of sound waves and Seoul’s surrounding mountainous landscape.
“So often when people use the word culture they mean museums and galleries, but that only speaks to a part of the public,” says the studio founder Thomas Heatherwick. “Instead, Nodeul Island will be one of the most public places that any citizen can enjoy, where sound is central to the whole experience — fixed into the landscape, the installations (装置), and the programming. Soundscape will be somewhere you can breathe and feel alive-an invitation to listen, discover and connect with your fellow citizens.”
Planned ground-level features include a new public beach, with plants and trees. There will also be visitor spaces including recording studios, an art center, concert halls, a waterfront theater, a K-Pop experience center, and a cafe-all of which will feature considerable greenery too.
Construction on Soundscape will take place in stages, allowing ongoing access to parts of the island and it’s expected to be completed in 2028. Heatherwick Studio has a lot of experience with these sorts of projects in recent years, and in addition to the Little Island which has been built, it has also revealed plans for the Cove and the Leaf.
8. Which word has the closest meaning to “obliterated” in paragraph 2?
A. Forgotten. B. Polluted. C. Crowded. D. Popularized.
9. What is Thomas Heatherwick’s view on Nodeul Island?
A. It will focus on traditional culture. B. It will separate locals from visitors.
C. It will be a private space for artists. D. It will be an accessible space featured sound.
10. What can we infer about Heatherwick Studio?
A. It mainly works on artificial islands. B. It is good at rebuilding urban spaces.
C. It has finished the Soundscape project. D. It first proposed the Little Island Project.

Exciting news from the University of Waterloo! A team of devoted researchers, led by PhD student Wei Wei, has made a remarkable discovery that holds the potential to change plastic waste into acetic acid (醋酸), using the power of sunlight.
Dr. Yimin Wu, a professor at the university, shared their inspiring vision, saying, “Our goal was to solve the plastic pollution challenge by changing microplastic waste into high-value products using sunlight.” This mission is especially significant as plastic waste, particularly microplastics, has spread across ecosystems worldwide, raising serious concerns about its impact on both wildlife and human health.
With global plastic recycling rates still falling behind, this research team has stepped up to the challenge. They have developed a bio-inspired photocatalysis (光催化) method using special iron atoms (铁原子). This technology copies how certain fungi (真菌) break down organic matter, showing the creativity of nature.
When placed under sunlight, the material drives a series of chemical reactions that change plastic into acetic acid with high selectivity. The reaction takes place in water, which is particularly important for addressing plastic pollution in waters.
The study shows that this method can effectively produce acetic acid from common plastics and it works well even with mixed plastic types. This adaptability makes the approach a promising replacement to traditional plastic burning, supporting eco-friendly use of materials and offering a fresh strategy for upcycling.
Roy Brouwer, coauthor of the research, stresses the benefits of this innovation, noting, “In terms of business and society, the financial and economic benefits related to this innovation seem promising.”
The research findings also open up exciting new ways for directly addressing microplastics. By breaking down plastics at the chemical level, this process could play an important role in preventing the build-up of microplastics in our water systems.
While still at the laboratory stage, the team expects that this approach could be adapted for large-scale, broader environmental cleanup and the photocatalytic upcycling system can be further improved.
12. What led the research team to start their study originally?
A. Rising recycling rates of plastic. B. Business profits from acetic acid.
C. Discovery of sunlight’s chemical power. D. Plastic pollution’s widespread harm.
13. What can we learn about the photocatalysis method?
A. It can be applied to various plastics.
B. It can completely remove microplastics.
C. It breaks down plastics faster than burning.
D. It needs high temperatures to support reactions.
14. What does the team expect of their research findings?
A. Helping reduce chemical use. B. Coming into use immediately.
C. Being used on a larger scale. D. Opening up a market for acetic acid.
15. Where is the text most probably taken from?
A. A guidebook to waste treatment. B. A scientific research report.
C. A brochure on acetic acid production. D. A review on the plastic industry.

A professional cleaner arrives at the door with an unusual partner — a specialized domestic robot. This futuristic scene is now a reality in Shenzhen, China, where the nation’s first home cleaning robot has officially entered the consumer service market.
Chen Guo, a resident of Bao’an District, got a firsthand look at this human-robot cooperation when the doorbell rang at 11 a.m. one recent morning. ____16____
For over a month, Long Mei has grown used to this unique partnership. ____17____ It moves steadily across the floor with flexible mechanical arms, arranging daily items in order and tying up garbage bags carefully. Working side by side, the two clean every corner of the house and turn messy rooms into neat and comfortable spaces.
____18____ However, the attempt turned out much better than expected. The robot stood quietly at the living room entrance, its camera scanning as it “observed” the space. When it noticed children’s toys on the floor, it methodically cleared obstacles, picking up the toys one by one from the outermost edge and placing them in a box. This “observe first, plan later” approach made Long see the robot not just as a machine, but as a “thoughtful helper”.

Ethan, a high school senior known for his fast running, had one dream: to win the upcoming 5,000-meter race at the city championships. For months, he had trained hard, waking up at dawn every day. His biggest rival (对手) was Leo, a runner from a neighboring school, who had beaten Ethan by a hair in the previous year’s final.
One week before the big race, during a practice run on a quiet country road, Ethan spotted a young boy sitting alone on a broken bicycle, crying. The boy’s name was Sam. He had a flat tire and didn’t have a phone to call his parents. Sam was supposed to be home in twenty minutes, or his mother would be very worried.
Ethan looked at his stopwatch. He was in the middle of a timed speed practice. If he stopped to help Sam, he would lose precious training time and possibly his chance to beat Leo. However, looking at Sam’s teary eyes, Ethan sighed, turned off his stopwatch, and knelt down.
“Don’t worry, little man. Let me get you home,” Ethan said. He lifted the broken bicycle onto his shoulder and walked Sam back home, which was two miles away. It took them nearly an hour. When they finally arrived, Sam’s mother hugged Ethan tightly. “Thank you,” she said. “You are a real hero.”
Ethan just smiled and ran back home, but his legs felt heavy. He had missed an important practice.
On the day of the race, Ethan felt unprepared. He stood at the starting line, his legs still aching from the long walk days ago. Beside him, Leo stretched confidently. The gun went off. For the first three laps, Ethan stayed behind. His lungs burned, and he wanted to give up.
But as he started the fourth lap, he heard a familiar voice from the crowd. “Go, Ethan! Go, big brother!” It was Sam, holding a hand-painted sign that read: “My Hero.”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

Seeing Sam’s smiling face and the sign, Ethan felt a sudden rush of energy.
