"Of course climbing an 80-metre-high tree in Borneo,when I'm scared of heights!It was frightening!I had to keep going up and up,when a voice inside me was saying,Down!Down!"I kept thinking the ropes were going to break and send me falling down below." And“down below'was where the bugs were.Apart from the usual mosquitoes(蚊子)，in the Amazon rainforest she suffered a lot from sand-fly bites."I've had some horrible bites but these really are the itchiest (bites I've ever had.At one stage,I counted 70 bites on one arm,"she says. "Just as annoying were the sweat bees in the Congo.They try to drink the sweat on your face and even the tears from your eyes.The most disgusting thing,though,was trying to pull the leeches ()off your skin.The more I pulled,the more they stretched and the tighter their jaws held onto my leg.I kept shouting,'Get them off!'and the film crew kept saying,'Just a minute,this makes a really good shot” Charlotte's journey into the heart of the world's most significant rainforest was an inspiring experience."The rainforest really is like a city.Each tree is like an urban tower block with hundreds of residents.If you knock it down,you cause just as much damage as if those residents were human. The jungle is extraordinary because although it only covers about 6 percent of the world,it contains over 50 percent of all known animal and plant species,plus lots more that are unknown,too." Back in London,what has she been enjoying since her return to"civilization"?"I've been having 第3页共8〔 lots of nice,long showers,"she says."In the Congo,the possibility of using up our water supplies was always a worrying thought.And I find that when I've been in hot,uncomfortable conditions for a while,the things I look forward to more than anything elsc are being with my family and enjoying my favorite mcal..” 24.Why did Charlotte Uhlenbrock spend 19 weeks in the jungles?

A.clean water B.her favourite restaurant C.her family D.enough food supplies C There is no doubt that the world will be a very different place in 2045.So,what's going to happen then?it's quite likely that robots and AI technology will change a lot of industries.Also,self-driving and flying cars will come into our daily life,bringing us much convenience. However,scientists have even bigger ideas.In a video series called Forward to the Fulure,three researchers predicted wlat they imagined would be reality in 2045. Dr.Justin Sanchez believes we'll be at a point where we can control things simply by using cur miads."Imagine a world where you could use your thoughts to control your environment,"Justin said. According to him,experts are developing technologies that can make this happen.They've made some progress already. The future has more than just that.Many other exciting things could change the building and other objects around us,says Stefanie Tompkins."We'll be able to build things that are not only very strong but also lightweight )We don't even know the materials around us,"she predicted. Pam Melroy believes that we will develop a very different relationship with the machines around us."I think we'll begin to see a time when we're able to control a machine just by pressing a button or only saying some simple words,"she said.For example,right now to land a plane safely,a pilot has to go through many steps in the right order.But in 2045,in Pam's words,a pilot may just need io say the words"prepare for landing".Then the computer will know the necessary steps it needs to iake.Or perhaps,with Al,a pilot won't even be required. 28.What does the underlined word"this"in paragraph 3 refer to? A.Controlling things by using our mind. B.Using robots in different industries. C.Making progress in AI technology. D.Driving flying cars in our daily life. 29.Which of the following would be possible according to Stefanie Tompkins? A.AI helps pilots to land planes. B.Computers operate all machines. C.Self-driving cars travel around us. D.Houses are strong but lightweight. 30.In which part of a newspaper can we read this text? A.Health Lifestyle. B.Science Technology. C.Nature Environment. D.Education Culture. 31.Which is the best title for the text? 第4页共8页 A.New Kinds of Building Materials B.Famous Scientists in New Technologies C.Experts'Predictions of Life in 2045 D.Challenges for AI in the Future 0 If you are studying a foreign language,you may have wondered how it will bencfit you beyond the classroom.Research shows that learning a foreign language does far more than simply equip you with new vocabulary-it also has a deep influence on how you think and make decisions. In 2012,Boaz Keysar,a professor at the University of Chicago,conducted a study to investigate how foreign languages affect decision-making.Participants were given two options:take El for sure, or take a 50%chance to win f2.50.Most people chose the safe option in their native language,but in a foreign language,more people were willing to take the risk,leading to greater benefits.Keysar explained that people feel less afraid of losing when they think in a foreign language. In another study in 2023,Keysar's team showed participants lists of related words like"dream". "bed"and"snooze".When tested in their native language,people frequently mistakenly recalled "sleep",which was never on the list.But this mistake occurred much less often in a foreign language -what they remembered was something they could depend on.The researchers concluded that careful thinking in a foreign language makes memory more reliable. Learning a foreign language may even influence how you deal with unfamiliar situations.An ltalian study found that people are more open to new experiences in a second language,since speaking a foreign language requires stepping out of your comfort zone.This helps produce creativity and a willingness to take chances. The evidence is clear:learning a foreign language is not only a practice about study.It gives you a completely new way of looking at the world. 32.In Keysar's 2012 study,what happened when people were asked in a foreign language? A.People refused to make a choice. B.Most people chose the safe f1. C.More people took risks and made more money.D.People found the question too difficult. 33.What does the word"reliable"in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A.fast and quick B.correct and trustworthy C.interesting and fun D.clear and easy 34.Why might foreign language learners be more creative? A.Because they are smarter than others. B.Because they learn more words every day. C.Because they are trying new things and taking risks. D.Because they travel to other countries. 35.What is the main purpose of the text? A.To show the benefits of learning a foreign language. B.To compare different ways of thinking. C.To describe how to learn English well. D.To introduce a famous professor. 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。 In modern busy life,mental problems have become common for many people.We often struggle with endless worries,messy thoughts and tiring to-do lists that leave us mentally tired36 Thankfully,here are some practical ways to reduce our mental pressure and regain calmness in daily life. 第5页.共8页 Write about your problems.

His least favorite resident((居民)was Mr.Smith,abad-tempered(暴躁的)80-year-old man who always sat in a wheelchair in the far corner of the activity room.Mr.Smith never smiied,never joined the group activities,and often complained about the "noisy teenagers".Lucas made sure to keep his distance,annoyed by the constant complaints.Yet there was one thing Lucas had noticed about the old man.Mr.Smith always kept a small,worn-out songbook on his lap. One stormy Saturday,the nursing home was holding its monthly music hour.The residents were gathered in the hall,eagerly waiting for the local volunteer band to arrive.However,at 2:00 p.m.,the activity organizer,Zoe,rushed in looking panicked."The band's bus broke down on ihe way here," she announced,her voice shaking slightly."They can't make it." A wave of disappointment spread through the room.Some residents sighed heavily;others lowered their heads.Zoe looked around helplessly,her eyes landing on an old,dusty piano in the corner of the room."Does anyone know how to play?"she asked the room. Lucas froze.He had been playing the piano since he was six and was really good at it.But the thought of playing in front of a crowd terrified him.He looked at the floor,hoping nobody would notice him.But then,he glanced up at the residents.For the first time,Lucas didn't see a room full of annoying strangers.He saw disappointed people who had been looking forward to this small moment of joy.His eyes stopped at Mr.Smith,noticing the usual anger had disappeared from his face.Instead, he was staring silently at the empty piano. Paragraph 1:At that moment,Lucas made a decision Paragraph 2:To everyone's surprise,a rough,shaky voice began to sing along to the music. 第8页共8页
