A
Four Famous Inventors in the World
Maria Beasley
When the Titanic sank, only about 700 people were saved by lifeboats. If there had been more lifeboats, more people could have been saved. Many people who survived can thank Maria Beasley for making life rafts (筏) better. She made life rafts better by making them waterproof to keep things dry, easy to put in the water without damaging the raft, fireproof, and adding safety rails. Before her changes, life rafts were just flat wooden boards that were hard to store.
Melitta Bentz
Melitta Bentz was a housewife in Germany who made coffee for her husband every morning. But it was a lot of work because filters (过滤器) were made of cloth and were expensive. She used her son’s notebook paper to make a filter. This simple idea changed the coffee world by making cheap and easy-to-throw-away filters. Her company, Melitta, is still run by her family and has over 5,800 workers. It’s the top-selling coffee filter brand in North America.
Marion Donovan
In 1955, most babies in America used cloth diapers — reusable cloth pieces for catching babies’ waste. Now, about 95 out of 100 babies use single-use diapers. Marion Donovan was a mom who didn’t like using cloth diapers because they didn’t work well and the rubber pants they wore caused skin problems. So, she invented a better diaper. She got a patent for her invention in 1951 and sold it for $1 million.
Stephanie Kwolek
Standing at under five feet tall, Stephanie Kwolek invented Kevlar, a material stronger than steel but lightweight. Working at DuPont, she made Kevlar to bear tough conditions. It stops bullets and resists heat and cuts. Mainly used in bulletproof vests (防弹背心) and protective equipment, Kevlar was also used in planes, cars, and mining.
1. What was the main contribution of Maria Beasley?
A. She taught people how to use life rafts effectively.
B. She produced the life rafts used on the Titanic.
C. She improved the design of life rafts.
D. She invented the first lifeboat.
2. How did Marion Donovan change diaper use in the US?
A. She introduced one-time diapers.
B. She made diapers more affordable.
C. She improved the design of cloth diapers.
D. She patented a new type of rubber pants for babies.
3. Which female inventor created a strong material with applications in mining?
A. Maria Beasley. B. Melitta Bentz. C. Marion Donovan. D. Stephanie Kwolek.
【答案】1. C 2. A 3. D

Daniel and Martin are brothers. Daniel works as a landscaper while Martin works in the chemical industry. Both hold full-time jobs, but it is after work that they truly come alive — devoting their free time to helping people struggling to make ends meet.
Their journey started unexpectedly. While doing a paid lawn care job with their father, they met a client who told them she couldn’t afford her medicine. Daniel recalls that moment clearly: “The way her face fell — from there, we knew we had to act.” Deeply moved, they decided to do her lawn for free. That single act sparked something bigger. They restructured their schedule to reserve at least one day a week for helping those in need — tackling overgrown lots and ignored yards at no cost.
What began as weekly free lawn care has expanded to include another act of service: free cleaning. Whether it’s a driveway or sidewalk, the brothers arrive prepared to help — no payment required. “You never know what people are going through,” Martin said. “It may just be cleaning service, but it can brighten their day and even change how they see life.”
As their efforts gained popularity, the brothers took their mission online. They began sharing their work on a video platform, where their channels have since grown to over 450,000 subscribers each. Their videos not only document the transformations of neglected spaces but also capture the emotional reactions of the people they help.
For Daniel and Martin, it all comes down to one simple goal: encouraging others to make a difference. “We hope to motivate people to lend a hand and spread generosity far and wide,” Daniel said. And with every lawn cut and every sidewalk cleaned — all while holding down their day jobs — they are doing exactly that.
4. What do we know about Daniel and Martin from paragraph 1?
A. They run a family landscaping business together.
B. They quit their jobs to focus on helping people in need.
C. They work in the same industry but different companies.
D. They have full-time jobs and do volunteer work in spare time.
5. What first inspired Daniel and Martin to offer free services?
A. A desire to start a cleaning business.
B. The popularity of their online videos.
C. A customer unable to cover the cost of medicine.
D. Their father’s encouragement to help the needy.
6. What does the author intend to convey through Martin’s words in paragraph 3?
A. Everyone is living a difficult life all the time.
B. Providing free services is of great significance.
C. Cleaning service is more valuable than lawn care.
D. Even small acts of kindness can make a difference.
7. Why do Daniel and Martin share their work on a video platform?
A. To document their work for future clients.
B. To inspire more people to offer their help.
C. To compete with other landscaping channels.
D. To record how neglected spaces are transformed.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】讲述兄弟二人本职工作之余免费为困难人群打理庭院、清扫场地,并通过网络分享事迹,以此鼓励更多人传递善意的暖心故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Both hold full-time jobs, but it is after work that they truly come alive — devoting their free time to helping people struggling to make ends meet.(两人都有全职工作,但下班后他们才真正活跃起来——将业余时间用于帮助那些难以维持生计的人)”可知,他们有全职工作,并在业余时间做志愿工作。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“While doing a paid lawn care job with their father, they met a client who told them she couldn’t afford her medicine. Daniel recalls that moment clearly: “The way her face fell — from there, we knew we had to act.” Deeply moved, they decided to do her lawn for free.(在和父亲一起做有偿草坪护理工作时,他们遇到了一位客户,这位客户告诉他们她买不起药。丹尼尔清楚地记得那一刻:“她脸上失落的神情——从那时起,我们知道我们必须行动起来”深受感动,他们决定免费为她修剪草坪)”可知,是一位买不起药的客户最先激发了丹尼尔和马丁提供免费服务的想法。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段““You never know what people are going through,” Martin said. “It may just be cleaning service, but it can brighten their day and even change how they see life.(“你永远不知道人们正在经历什么,”马丁说。“这可能只是清洁服务,但它可以照亮他们的一天,甚至改变他们看待生活的方式。”)”可知,作者通过马丁的话想传达即使是小小的善举也能产生影响。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“For Daniel and Martin, it all comes down to one simple goal: encouraging others to make a difference. “We hope to motivate people to lend a hand and spread generosity far and wide,” Daniel said (对丹尼尔和马丁来说,这一切都归结为一个简单的目标:鼓励他人有所作为。丹尼尔说:“我们希望激励人们伸出援手,广泛传播慷慨”)”可知,丹尼尔和马丁在视频平台分享工作是为了激励更多人提供帮助。

3D printing is becoming more and more popular. We are now able to create things we need very quickly and easily using 3D printers. But can you imagine printing food?
Some scientists are trying to change the dining experience by doing this. They hope that having a 3D printer in the kitchen will be as common as the microwave oven or blender.
Scientists say that it’ll be quite easy: you simply have to select a recipe(食谱)and put the raw food‘inks’into the printer. You can also modify (修改) the instructions to make the food exactly how you want it. This means that it would be very quick and easy to create tasty and nutritious meals.
Using 3D printers to create your meals would also be saving the environment. There would be less need for traditional growing, transporting and packaging processes as food production would be a lot more efficient. For example, alternative ingredients such as proteins from algae, beetroot leaves and insects could be converted into tasty products.
Printing food could also help people who suffer from dysphasia (a swallowing disorder). They could program the printer to print softer versions of their favorite foods so that they would not have trouble in swallowing them.
However, some people think that a future of 3D food printing would be a disaster. It could take away many jobs, including those from growing, transporting and packaging food. Imagine a world where there was no need for farming or growing crops and the same tastes could be printed from a raw “food ink”. Likewise, traditional cafes and restaurants might lose business. Also, there are concerns about the nutritional value of printed food: is it really possible to be get the nutrients we need from food–based inks and gels(凝胶)?
What’s more,cooking and eating together with family and friends has long been a traditional and enjoyable activity. It is hard to imagine a world where the pleasure of cooking is dead and meals can be created at the touch of a button.
8. Which of the following best describes 3D food printing?
A. Soft and convenient. B. Nutritious and tasty.
C. Easy and efficient. D. Slow and popular.
9. Why do some think that 3D food printing would be a disaster?
A. Many people could lose their jobs. B. We could all eat the same food.
C. It would affect the people’s health. D. Traditional food would disappear.
10. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. 3D food printing will replace traditional cooking.
B. The future of 3D food printing is uncertain.
C. It would hurt our tradition of food culture.
D. 3D food printing would be a failure.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Can 3D printing create everything?
B. 3D—printing food will be in fashion!
C. The disadvantage of 3D food printing
D. 3D food “printing”: coming to the kitchen
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】

细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“However, some people think that a future of 3D food printing would be a disaster. It could take away many jobs, including those from growing, transporting and packaging food.(然而,有些人认为3D食物打印机的未来是一场灾难。它会夺走很多工作,包括种植,运输和包装食品的工作)”可知,有一些人认为3D食物打印机将是一场灾难,因为很多人可能因此会失业,故选择A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“What’s more,cooking and eating together with family and friends has long been a traditional and enjoyable activity. It is hard to imagine a world where the pleasure of cooking is dead and meals can be created at the touch of a button.(更重要的是,与家人和朋友一起做饭和吃饭一直是一种传统和愉快的活动。很难想象这样一个世界:烹饪的乐趣不复存在,只需要按一下按钮就能创造出美食)”可推知,3D食物打印机会损害我们的饮食文化传统,故选择C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“3D printing is becoming more and more popular. We are now able to create things we need very quickly and easily using 3D printers. But can you imagine printing food?(3D打印越来越受欢迎,现在我们可以使用3D打印机非常快速和容易地创造出我们需要的东西。但是你能想象打印食物吗?)”及下文的介绍可知,本文主要介绍了科学家设想的一项新发明——即将进入厨房的3D食物打印机,故选择D项。

According to NASA, wildfires have doubled worldwide because of climate change. Throughout the globe, governments and environmentalists have been trying to find ways to curb the fires. One particular national park in Spain has found a solution that has been keeping it fire-free for over ten years: donkeys (驴).
Since 2014, the Firefighting Donkey Battalion made up of 18 donkeys has been preventing wildfires in Doñana National Park in Doñana, Spain. The mission of these donkeys is simple: to eat the dry brush that usually causes and strengthens wildfires. The donkeys spend up to seven hours a day grazing (吃草) and clearing a 130 by 50 feet area of dried grass, scrub, and other vegetation (植被).
While humans can do this type of dry brush clearing, using donkeys for this work is arguably more effective. Donkeys are able to quietly walk in areas that vehicles can’t reach. In exchange for finishing the meal, the donkeys get lots of water and rest. No money or other supplies needed. The donkeys’ bodies are also built for this kind of environmental work, too. Their stomachs can eat dry grass repeatedly without issues. These daily grazings slowly but surely remove possible sources of fires.
Having donkeys or other animals graze in such areas was once more common in agriculture before modern farming. Some argue that the mechanization of farming and urbanization have reduced the number of grazing animals. This in turn leads to more vegetation growth, which creates dry spots where more wildfires can occur.
This method has been so successful that other areas of Spain have adopted it. In 2020, Tivissa started the Burros Bomberos project with three donkeys, and now they have 40 donkeys grazing and clearing nearly 400 hectares of land. The Andrea Association in Allariz uses a team of donkeys to clear and maintain nearly 1,000 hectares of a biosphere reserve. According to the GPS used to monitor the donkeys’ activity, the group of grazers travel 19 kilometers per day to feed.
12. What does the underlined word “curb” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Forecast. B. Survive. C. Monitor. D. Control.
13. What are the 18 donkeys expected to do?
A. Figure out signs of wildfires. B. Remove possible sources of fires.
C. Eat fresh grass in several parks. D. Help firefighters put out wildfires.
14. What does paragraph 3 focus on concerning donkeys?
A. Their advantages. B. Their responsibilities.
C. Their survival strategies. D. Their incredible achievements.
15. What can be known about the method?
A. It is widely accepted. B. It is limited to farmland.
C. It threatens donkeys’ lives. D. It was uncommon in the past.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了西班牙多尼亚纳国家公园利用驴群吃草清除干燥植被以预防野火的方法,该方式成效显著并在多地推广。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“According to NASA, wildfires have doubled worldwide because of climate change. Throughout the globe, governments and environmentalists have been trying to find ways to curb the fires. (据美国国家航空航天局称,由于气候变化,全球野火数量翻了一番。在全球范围内,政府和环保主义者一直在努力寻找curb火灾的方法)”可知,野火数量增加,所以政府和环保主义者会寻找控制火灾的方法,curb意为“控制”,与Control意义相近。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The mission of these donkeys is simple: to eat the dry brush that usually causes and strengthens wildfires. (这些驴的任务很简单:吃掉通常引发和加剧野火的干燥灌木)”以及第三段“These daily grazings slowly but surely remove possible sources of fires. (这些日常的吃草行为缓慢但确实地消除了可能的火源)”可知,18头驴的任务是吃掉干燥的灌木,这些灌木通常会引发并加剧野火。因此,它们被期望清除可能的火源。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“While humans can do this type of dry brush clearing, using donkeys for this work is arguably more effective. (虽然人类也可以做这种干燥灌木的清理工作,但使用驴来做这项工作可以说更有效)”及全段围绕驴能进入车辆难达区域、无须报酬、肠胃适应干草等内容的阐述可知,本段强调了驴子在这项工作中的优势。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“This method has been so successful that other areas of Spain have adopted it. (这种方法非常成功,以至于西班牙的其他地区也采用了它)”可推知,该方法已得到广泛认可和应用。

You can develop either a positive or negative body image, depending on your mindset.
Peer (同龄人) pressure is a key cause of negative body image. Even without obvious bullying, casual jokes about your looks or comparisons with seemingly “perfect” friends can hurt how you see your body. ____17____ Often, an ideal body type is promoted heavily on social networks. Culture also matters: You may feel unsatisfied if your body fails to fit the body type valued by your culture.
A negative body image increases the risk of unhealthy behaviors like extreme dieting, overeating, and risky surgeries, as well as loneliness. ____18____ In general, the key to a positive body image is self-acceptance.
To have a more positive body image, first accept that we are all unique individuals.

What’s more, models and celebrities you see in the media may look “perfect” for the era, but, in fact, much of that perfection is due to makeup, angles, lighting, and Photoshop!

Remember, your body image is simply YOUR perception (感知) of your body. This means YOU have the power to change this, even if you do not have the ability to change the perception of others.
A. Your body image is influenced by many factors.
B. Another major factor is what is shown in the media.
C. It is simply how you see, think and feel about yourself.

【答案】Dear Students’ Union,
I’m Li Hua. Hearing the unused plot is to become a student space, I’m writing to back Direction A, the “Four-Season Garden”.
Admittedly, sports facilities appeal to many students. Yet what we lack is not another place to burn off energy — PE and the playground already do that — but a corner to slow down and reconnect with nature. Better still, the garden is a living classroom: tending our class’s plot, we’d apply biology to real soil and track growth with data. Watering and weeding day after day would also quietly build responsibility and teamwork.
I’d appreciate it if you could take my advice into consideration.
Yours,
Li Hua

A Funny Pet Show Experience
School pet shows are always fun and popular among students. Chloe, an outgoing girl, has a lovely hamster (仓鼠) named Momo, which she has raised for months. She enjoys dressing and training her little pet in her spare time. So when the school planned a pet show, she was eager to sign up for it.
To make their performance wonderful, she made full preparations for nearly a week. Apart from preparing a tiny delicate hat and a soft little coat for Momo, she also trained the hamster patiently every day. She taught Momo to walk slowly on her hand, turn around gently and stay calm in front of people. She hoped these trained tricks would help her pet stand out, win the audience’s favor and get the cutest pet prize.
As the big day finally came, the school hall was full of laughter and cheers. Many students brought their lovely pets and gave wonderful shows. Waiting in line, Chloe felt both nervous and excited. She stroked (抚摸) Momo softly in her hand, calming the little creature down and going over her performance steps in her mind. Soon, it was her turn. She took a deep breath, walked onto the stage bravely and greeted the audience warmly.
At first, everything went perfectly. Momo behaved well, finishing all the trained tricks gently on Chloe’s hand. The audience was deeply attracted by the lovely hamster and let out bursts of joyful cheers and laughter. However, the sudden loud noise startled (使受惊) the sensitive little hamster.
Momo suddenly jumped out of Chloe’s hand and ran away fast. Still wearing its twisted hat, it rushed all over the stage. It slipped under the host’s legs and even bit the microphone line playfully. Chloe grew worried at once and ran around the stage hurriedly, trying to catch her naughty pet. Soon, Momo’s hat fell off, turning the neat performance into a funny mess.

【答案】One possible version:
To Chloe’s great surprise, no one in the audience felt annoyed at her mistake. Instead of feeling disappointed, all the teachers and students burst into warm laughter. They were amused by Momo’s silly and lively movements on the stage. Seeing the lovely hamster running around freely, Chloe felt her embarrassment fade away gradually. She stopped feeling nervous and began to laugh out loud, too. The whole hall was filled with a happy and relaxed atmosphere. What was once a messy accident turned into the funniest moment of the whole pet show.
In the end, Momo did not get any official prize. However, it won the greatest popularity and became the biggest star of the entire pet show. Many audience members crowded around after the show, wanting to take photos with the lovely and naughty hamster. Everyone praised Momo for bringing them so much joy and laughter. Chloe gained endless happiness from this special and unforgettable experience. She finally realized that unexpected accidents were not always terrible failures. Sometimes imperfect moments could bring more sincere joy and precious warm memories than a perfectly smooth performance.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Four Famous Inventors in the World
Maria Beasley
When the Titanic sank, only about 700 people were saved by lifeboats. If there had been more lifeboats, more people could have been saved. Many people who survived can thank Maria Beasley for making life rafts (筏) better. She made life rafts better by making them waterproof to keep things dry, easy to put in the water without damaging the raft, fireproof, and adding safety rails. Before her changes, life rafts were just flat wooden boards that were hard to store.
Melitta Bentz
Melitta Bentz was a housewife in Germany who made coffee for her husband every morning. But it was a lot of work because filters (过滤器) were made of cloth and were expensive. She used her son’s notebook paper to make a filter. This simple idea changed the coffee world by making cheap and easy-to-throw-away filters. Her company, Melitta, is still run by her family and has over 5,800 workers. It’s the top-selling coffee filter brand in North America.
Marion Donovan
In 1955, most babies in America used cloth diapers — reusable cloth pieces for catching babies’ waste. Now, about 95 out of 100 babies use single-use diapers. Marion Donovan was a mom who didn’t like using cloth diapers because they didn’t work well and the rubber pants they wore caused skin problems. So, she invented a better diaper. She got a patent for her invention in 1951 and sold it for $1 million.
Stephanie Kwolek
Standing at under five feet tall, Stephanie Kwolek invented Kevlar, a material stronger than steel but lightweight. Working at DuPont, she made Kevlar to bear tough conditions. It stops bullets and resists heat and cuts. Mainly used in bulletproof vests (防弹背心) and protective equipment, Kevlar was also used in planes, cars, and mining.
1. What was the main contribution of Maria Beasley?
A. She taught people how to use life rafts effectively.
B. She produced the life rafts used on the Titanic.
C. She improved the design of life rafts.
D. She invented the first lifeboat.
2. How did Marion Donovan change diaper use in the US?
A. She introduced one-time diapers.
B. She made diapers more affordable.
C. She improved the design of cloth diapers.
D. She patented a new type of rubber pants for babies.
3. Which female inventor created a strong material with applications in mining?
A. Maria Beasley. B. Melitta Bentz. C. Marion Donovan. D. Stephanie Kwolek.
B
Daniel and Martin are brothers. Daniel works as a landscaper while Martin works in the chemical industry. Both hold full-time jobs, but it is after work that they truly come alive — devoting their free time to helping people struggling to make ends meet.
Their journey started unexpectedly. While doing a paid lawn care job with their father, they met a client who told them she couldn’t afford her medicine. Daniel recalls that moment clearly: “The way her face fell — from there, we knew we had to act.” Deeply moved, they decided to do her lawn for free. That single act sparked something bigger. They restructured their schedule to reserve at least one day a week for helping those in need — tackling overgrown lots and ignored yards at no cost.
What began as weekly free lawn care has expanded to include another act of service: free cleaning. Whether it’s a driveway or sidewalk, the brothers arrive prepared to help — no payment required. “You never know what people are going through,” Martin said. “It may just be cleaning service, but it can brighten their day and even change how they see life.”
As their efforts gained popularity, the brothers took their mission online. They began sharing their work on a video platform, where their channels have since grown to over 450,000 subscribers each. Their videos not only document the transformations of neglected spaces but also capture the emotional reactions of the people they help.
For Daniel and Martin, it all comes down to one simple goal: encouraging others to make a difference. “We hope to motivate people to lend a hand and spread generosity far and wide,” Daniel said. And with every lawn cut and every sidewalk cleaned — all while holding down their day jobs — they are doing exactly that.
4. What do we know about Daniel and Martin from paragraph 1?
A. They run a family landscaping business together.
B. They quit their jobs to focus on helping people in need.
C. They work in the same industry but different companies.
D. They have full-time jobs and do volunteer work in spare time.
5. What first inspired Daniel and Martin to offer free services?
A. A desire to start a cleaning business.
B. The popularity of their online videos.
C. A customer unable to cover the cost of medicine.
D. Their father’s encouragement to help the needy.
6. What does the author intend to convey through Martin’s words in paragraph 3?
A. Everyone is living a difficult life all the time.
B. Providing free services is of great significance.
C. Cleaning service is more valuable than lawn care.
D. Even small acts of kindness can make a difference.
7. Why do Daniel and Martin share their work on a video platform?
A. To document their work for future clients.
B. To inspire more people to offer their help.
C. To compete with other landscaping channels.
D. To record how neglected spaces are transformed.
C
3D printing is becoming more and more popular. We are now able to create things we need very quickly and easily using 3D printers. But can you imagine printing food?
Some scientists are trying to change the dining experience by doing this. They hope that having a 3D printer in the kitchen will be as common as the microwave oven or blender.
Scientists say that it’ll be quite easy: you simply have to select a recipe(食谱)and put the raw food‘inks’into the printer. You can also modify (修改) the instructions to make the food exactly how you want it. This means that it would be very quick and easy to create tasty and nutritious meals.
Using 3D printers to create your meals would also be saving the environment. There would be less need for traditional growing, transporting and packaging processes as food production would be a lot more efficient. For example, alternative ingredients such as proteins from algae, beetroot leaves and insects could be converted into tasty products.
Printing food could also help people who suffer from dysphasia (a swallowing disorder). They could program the printer to print softer versions of their favorite foods so that they would not have trouble in swallowing them.
However, some people think that a future of 3D food printing would be a disaster. It could take away many jobs, including those from growing, transporting and packaging food. Imagine a world where there was no need for farming or growing crops and the same tastes could be printed from a raw “food ink”. Likewise, traditional cafes and restaurants might lose business. Also, there are concerns about the nutritional value of printed food: is it really possible to be get the nutrients we need from food–based inks and gels(凝胶)?
What’s more,cooking and eating together with family and friends has long been a traditional and enjoyable activity. It is hard to imagine a world where the pleasure of cooking is dead and meals can be created at the touch of a button.
8. Which of the following best describes 3D food printing?
A. Soft and convenient. B. Nutritious and tasty.
C. Easy and efficient. D. Slow and popular.
9. Why do some think that 3D food printing would be a disaster?
A. Many people could lose their jobs. B. We could all eat the same food.
C. It would affect the people’s health. D. Traditional food would disappear.
10. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. 3D food printing will replace traditional cooking.
B. The future of 3D food printing is uncertain.
C. It would hurt our tradition of food culture.
D. 3D food printing would be a failure.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Can 3D printing create everything?
B. 3D—printing food will be in fashion!
C. The disadvantage of 3D food printing
D. 3D food “printing”: coming to the kitchen
D
According to NASA, wildfires have doubled worldwide because of climate change. Throughout the globe, governments and environmentalists have been trying to find ways to curb the fires. One particular national park in Spain has found a solution that has been keeping it fire-free for over ten years: donkeys (驴).
Since 2014, the Firefighting Donkey Battalion made up of 18 donkeys has been preventing wildfires in Doñana National Park in Doñana, Spain. The mission of these donkeys is simple: to eat the dry brush that usually causes and strengthens wildfires. The donkeys spend up to seven hours a day grazing (吃草) and clearing a 130 by 50 feet area of dried grass, scrub, and other vegetation (植被).
While humans can do this type of dry brush clearing, using donkeys for this work is arguably more effective. Donkeys are able to quietly walk in areas that vehicles can’t reach. In exchange for finishing the meal, the donkeys get lots of water and rest. No money or other supplies needed. The donkeys’ bodies are also built for this kind of environmental work, too. Their stomachs can eat dry grass repeatedly without issues. These daily grazings slowly but surely remove possible sources of fires.
Having donkeys or other animals graze in such areas was once more common in agriculture before modern farming. Some argue that the mechanization of farming and urbanization have reduced the number of grazing animals. This in turn leads to more vegetation growth, which creates dry spots where more wildfires can occur.
This method has been so successful that other areas of Spain have adopted it. In 2020, Tivissa started the Burros Bomberos project with three donkeys, and now they have 40 donkeys grazing and clearing nearly 400 hectares of land. The Andrea Association in Allariz uses a team of donkeys to clear and maintain nearly 1,000 hectares of a biosphere reserve. According to the GPS used to monitor the donkeys’ activity, the group of grazers travel 19 kilometers per day to feed.
12. What does the underlined word “curb” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Forecast. B. Survive. C. Monitor. D. Control.
13. What are the 18 donkeys expected to do?
A. Figure out signs of wildfires. B. Remove possible sources of fires.
C. Eat fresh grass in several parks. D. Help firefighters put out wildfires.
14. What does paragraph 3 focus on concerning donkeys?
A. Their advantages. B. Their responsibilities.
C. Their survival strategies. D. Their incredible achievements.
15. What can be known about the method?
A. It is widely accepted. B. It is limited to farmland.
C. It threatens donkeys’ lives. D. It was uncommon in the past.

During your teenage years, your body goes through many changes, and you may or may not like how your body develops. You start forming an image of your body. ____16____
You can develop either a positive or negative body image, depending on your mindset.
Peer (同龄人) pressure is a key cause of negative body image. Even without obvious bullying, casual jokes about your looks or comparisons with seemingly “perfect” friends can hurt how you see your body. ____17____ Often, an ideal body type is promoted heavily on social networks. Culture also matters: You may feel unsatisfied if your body fails to fit the body type valued by your culture.
A negative body image increases the risk of unhealthy behaviors like extreme dieting, overeating, and risky surgeries, as well as loneliness. ____18____ In general, the key to a positive body image is self-acceptance.
To have a more positive body image, first accept that we are all unique individuals. Imagine that if everyone looked the same, the world would be a boring place. ____19____ Beauty standards keep changing all the time. What’s more, models and celebrities you see in the media may look “perfect” for the era, but, in fact, much of that perfection is due to makeup, angles, lighting, and Photoshop!
____20____ Avoid commenting on others’ looks, and you will stop criticizing yourself too. If you have peers who constantly comment about your appearance, it might be time to re-evaluate the company you keep.
Remember, your body image is simply YOUR perception (感知) of your body. This means YOU have the power to change this, even if you do not have the ability to change the perception of others.
A. Your body image is influenced by many factors.
B. Another major factor is what is shown in the media.
C. It is simply how you see, think and feel about yourself.
D. More importantly, there is no such thing as a perfect body.
E. It also lowers life satisfaction and can lead to unhappiness.
F. Also, instead of focusing on appearances, learn to value people for who they really are.
G. Over-focusing on appearance can stop you from appreciating your other positive qualities.

She took a deep breath, walked onto the stage bravely and greeted the audience warmly.
At first, everything went perfectly. Momo behaved well, finishing all the trained tricks gently on Chloe’s hand. The audience was deeply attracted by the lovely hamster and let out bursts of joyful cheers and laughter. However, the sudden loud noise startled (使受惊) the sensitive little hamster.
Momo suddenly jumped out of Chloe’s hand and ran away fast. Still wearing its twisted hat, it rushed all over the stage. It slipped under the host’s legs and even bit the microphone line playfully. Chloe grew worried at once and ran around the stage hurriedly, trying to catch her naughty pet. Soon, Momo’s hat fell off, turning the neat performance into a funny mess.
