B In 1996,26-year-old Dr.Gladys Kalema-Zikusoka became Uganda's first wildlife doctor for animals. Just nine months later,a big problem hit Uganda's rare mountain gorillas ()A strange skin disease spread in the forest.The gorillas lost their hair,got dry white skin,and scratched their bodies nonstop.One baby gorilla almost lost all its fur. Dr.Gladys wanted to find the cause.She asked her doctor friend about common sicknesses in poor villages nearby.They found it was scabies(ì疮)一a small bug(虫子)infection caused by bad cleanliness. Her team treated the gorillas,but the sick baby died.They found the disease came from old clothes with bugs at the park edge.This showed people's actions made the gentle gorillas sick. "I learned we can't protect gorillas if we don't help the people living near them stay healthy,"Dr. Gladys said.In 2003,she started a group called Conservation Through Public Health (CTPH).This group helps over 50,000 local people.It also made Uganda's gorilla population grow by more than 50%. Dr.Gladys loved animals when she was 8.She saw her neighbor's monkey play the piano."They are so much like humans,"she thought.She studied to be an animal doctor in London.In 1994,she worked at Bwindi Impenetrable National Park.There,she looked into a gorilla's eyes.The gorilla was calm and smart. She felt a strong bond with it.At that time,only 600 mountain gorillas were left in the world.She promised to save them. Now,CTPH helps villages and protects nature together.Village health workers teach people to keep clean and stop diseases.This keeps both people and gorillas healthy."Gorilla Guardians"guide wandering gorillas safely back to the forest.They also help people who hunted illegally become park workers or farmers.Today,the results are amazing.Now,1,049 mountain gorillas live worldwide.They are no longer "critically endangered"-only"endangered.This is a big win for protecting animals. 24.Why did Dr.Gladys start CTPH? A.To study monkeys. B.To teach the piano. C.To build more parks. D.To help people and gorillas 25.What inspired Dr.Gladys'interest in animals at an early age?

C Plastic pollution has become one of the most pressing environmental issues of the century.According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature,more than 460 million tons of plastic are produced every year.About 20 million tons of plastic litter end up in the environment annually,and this amount is expected to increase significantly by 2040. Moreover,the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development reported that in 2019,the life-cycle emissions(排放)of plastics,.including production and disposal(处理)，amounted to 1.8 billion tons,or around 3 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. Against this backdrop,eco-friendly bamboo is developing as a promising renewable replacement. China is the world's largest bamboo producer.According to the National Forestry and Grassland Administration,the country is home to approximately 7.56 million hectares of bamboo forests.It also owns a cutting-edge processing technology system and a complete industrial chain. The shift has been driven by a combination of policy support and market demand.In 2022,China partnered with the International Bamboo and Rattan Organization to launch the Bamboo as a Substitute for Plastic project.The following year,the National Development and Reform Commission issued a three-year action plan to speed up the movement.This was followed up by a supportive standards system from the administration in 2024,which covered 140 items in nine categories. Bamboo,a plant long associated with rural life and traditional crafts,is increasingly being used to make products that were once the domain of plastic:food containers,packaging materials,and even industrial components for vehicles.Chinese researchers and producers have developed a bio-based bamboo fiber material that is naturally antibacterial,lightweight,and strong enough to replace plastic in many food packaging applications.It is being molded into egg containers,takeaway boxes,and supermarket packaging. It offers the same cost-performance level as plastic,but without the environmental cost.As policy support, industrial capacity,and market demand continue to work together,bamboo is well positioned to move from a traditional material to a mainstream solution in the global fight against plastic pollution. 28.What can be learned about plastic from the first two paragraphs? A.Its emissions come mainly from disposal. B.Its output will be reduced significantly soon. C.Its pollution is growing and its emissions are considerable. D.Its emissions are the main part of global greenhouse gases. 英语试题第3页（共8页） 29.Why can bamboo serve as a promising replacement for plastic in China? A.For its growing popularity. B.For its simple processing techniques. C.For the low price and convenient transportation. D.For rich resources and complete industrial systems. 30.What does the underlined word"domain"in paragraph 5 most probably mean? A.Field. B.Design. C.Price. D.Benefit. 31.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Bamboo Ends Plastic Pollution B.Bamboo Leads the World Market C.Bamboo:A Green Solution to Plastic Pollution D.Bamboo:Advantages Outweigh Disadvantages D Calculators (didn't make everyone poor at math.GPS navigation systems made driving easier. Whenever people discuss the cognitive (influences of artificial intelligence (AI),these two earlier technologies are likely to come up. Each offers a useful entry point for two big questions:How might AI reshape human thinking,and what actions should managers take in response?Calculators and GPS are typical examples of"cognitive offloading"-handing over specific tasks to technology.In both cases,the benefits are clear.Calculators boost students'math and problem-solving skills,while GPS saves drivers from map-checking for smoother travel. However,there are also drawbacks.In a 2019 study,Mark LaCour and his partners programmed calculators to provide wrong answers for certain problems.Students seldom doubted these slightly incorrect results.Even with clearly unreasonable answers,some accepted them without question.GPS use can also weaken people's ability to think independently. AI makes these trade-offs stronger.It is reasonable to let AI finish certain tasks,since AI beats humans in many fields.Yet AI's powerful functions,together with its easy-to-use chat interface and its confident manner,may cause people not just to hand over tasks,but to give in completely. Thus comes the idea of“cognitive surrender''(投降)，a term coined by Steven Shaw and Gideon Nave from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.In their experiment,volunteers answered demanding questions with AI support.Just like LaCour's calculator test,researchers randomly introduced errors into the machine's answers.When AI gave accurate responses,users performed better than those working on their own.But when AI was wrong,the users'results became much worse:they stopped thinking for themselves. So what can managers do to encourage cognitive resistance?They can hire workers who enjoy thinking People with a high need for cognition can partly avoid cognitive surrender,says Mr Shaw.Rewards and feedback can help,too.One experiment offered money rewards and feedback.These methods encouraged AI users who were being fed wrong answers to correct the model more often-though they still did worse than people who relied on their own judgment.Offloading is fine.Giving in is another matter. 英语试题第4页（共8页） 32.Why does the author mention calculators and GPS in paragraph 1? A.To introduce AI's effect on thinking. B.To compare traditional tools with AI. C.To show technology makes people lazier. D.To prove old technology harms cognition. 33.What was the finding of LaCour's 2019 experiment on students? A.They hated calculators for math tasks. B.They tended to believe wrong answers. C.They did much better without calculators. D.They frequently doubted calculator results 34.What does"cognitive surrender"refer to in the text? A.Encouraging independent thinking actively. B.Giving certain tasks to technology willingly. C.Refusing to use AI in daily work completely. D.Giving up independent thinking to AI's answers. 35.What is the last paragraph mainly about? A.Steps managers may take to reduce cognitive surrender. B.Rules for workers to make good use of AI tools at work. C.Results of an experiment testing AI's calculation ability. D.Reasons why AI users willingly accept incorrect answers. 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入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Many teenagers,addicted to mobile phones,stay up late on school nights,just when they are in great need of sufficient sleep.The American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Sleep Medicine suggest that teens should get eight to ten hours of sleep every night.However,new research discovers that over half of US teens spend at least an hour on their phones between 10 p.m.and 6 a.m.on school nights.36 The lead researcher of the study reports the phenomenon. An independent scholar explained that phone use cuts into sleep time,making it difficult for teenagers to get enough rest,which will negatively influence their daytime behaviour. Sleep shortage has widespread harmful effects.For teenagers whose brains and bodies are still developing,the harm is more serious.Poor rest weakens cognitive functions,making it harder for teens to process and remember information they learn each day.Adolescence (is a key stage for all kinds of learning.37 Poor sleep also weakens emotional control.In 2013,researchers ran a three-week experiment involving healthy teens aged 14 to 17.The teenagers felt more anxious,angry,confused and tired if they don't get enough sleep.Both the teenagers and their parents witnessed increased annoyance and worse emotional management.38For vulnerable (young people,sleep loss increases risks of depression and anxiety. 39 Experts believe parents play a vital role in forming good habits.Parents should set good examples,as their screen habits strongly affect how much teenagers use electronic devices.The American 英语试题第5页（共8页） Academy of Pediatrics advises families to make a household media plan to develop healthy screen habits. Useful measures include setting screen-free areas and time limits,arranging offline activities,and keeping devices out of bedrooms.40 Experts stress that nighttime overuse of screens is a family problem rather than only a teenage one. A.Less sleep tends to make teens more bad-tempered. B.It can be challenging for teens to get adequate sleep. C.Such learning ranges from school knowledge to social skills. D.Help is available if you are struggling with mental health matters. E.Solving the problem of nighttime phone use cannot rely on teenagers alone. F.Over half of these teens even use their phones between midnight and 4 a.m.. G.Afamily media lockbox"is also recommended to help family members avoid electronics. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分) 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In 1983,nineteen-year-old Gita Karmakar rode into a remote tea garden in Bengal on a newly-bought bicycle.Fresh from an 18-month nursing course,she soon realized that her training had 41 little of what the village needed.
