Disney.Johannes Fritz, an Austrian biologist, needed to come up with a plan again if he was going to prevent his rare and beloved birds from going extinct.To survive the European winter, the northern bald ibis needs to migrate south for the winter over the Alps. But shifting climate patterns have delayed when the birds begin to migrate and they are now reaching the mountains too late to make it over the peaks, locking them in an icy death trap. Determined to save them, he decided to teach the birds a new, safer migration route by guiding them himself in a tiny aircraft. He was confident that he could succeed in this daring, unconventional plan.the last in the wild, causing the birds to disappear entirely from the wild. When Mr. Fritz was born 56 years ago, the northern bald ibis could be found in Europe only in captivity (圈养) .Mr.Fritz has spent his career reintroducing the birds into the wild. Through years of trial and error, he learned to fly like a bird. He modified (改装) a lightweight aircraft so it would fly at speeds slow enough for the birds to keep up. In 2004, he led the first flock from Austria to Italy, and has since led more migrations. But the route he originally taught the ibises does not work successfully. With climate change warming the area where the birds summer, they now start their migration at the end of October instead of the end of September. The trip is expected to take about six weeks, “Still, we’re optimistic that it’ll work,” said Mr. Fritz.His family and colleagues witnessed the risks he was taking. “But the unavoidable risks are necessary,” Mr. Fritz said. “It’s not so much a job, but my life’s purpose.”4．What was Johannes Fritz’s plan?A. To shorten bald ibises’ migration route.B. To lead bald ibises to migrate on a new route.C. To better the climate patterns for bald ibises.D. To find out a safer destination for bald ibises.5．What does the underlined word “devoured” in paragra ph 3 mean?A. Destroyed.B. Abused.C. Released.D. Raised.6．Why was Mr. Fritz’s initial route for the birds ineffective?A. Owing to the long time it consumes.B. For the slow speed of his modified aircraft.C. Because of the toughness along the first route.D. Due to higher temperatures in the summer habitat.7．Which of the following can best describe Mr. Fritz?A. Honest.B. Innovative.C. Straightforward.D. Demanding.As you’re drafting your New Year’s resolutions, you may think that it takes 21 days of repeating an action for that action to become a habit. So, you set out to go to the gym for 21 days, thinking that by day 22 heading to the gym will feel automatic—maybe even fun.However, that 21-day estimate isn’t true. A habit expert Wendy Wood found that this falsehood came from a self-help book in the 1960s and actually described how long it takes to get used to your new appearance after plastic surgery. It’s important to note t hat getting used to something is not the same thing as forming a habit, and perhaps the two concepts got confused along the way, giving rise to the term today.To figure out how long it actually takes to form a habit, Phillippa Lally, and her team did a series of research.They recruited 96 people and asked each person to choose one new habit and report each day on whether or not they did the behavior and how automatic the behavior felt. Some people chose simple habits like “drinking a bottle of water with lunch.” Others chose m ore difficult tasks like “running for 15 minutes before dinner.” At the end of 12 weeks, the researchers analyzed the data to determine how long it took each person to go from starting a new behavior to automatically doing it.The study found that it takes more than 2 months before a new behavior becomes automatic—66 days to be exact. And if you want to set your expectations appropriately, the truth is that it will probably take you anywhere from two months to eight months to build a new behavior into your life. Interestingly, the researchers also found that “m issing one opportunity to perform the behavior did not affect the habit formation process.” That is to say, it doesn’t matter if you mess up every now and then. Building better habits is not an all-or-nothing process.So, for those who wish to form certain habits, persistence is king. To form a good habit, we need to pay more energy and effort.8．What does “21days” actually mean according to Wendy Wood?A. The time one drafts a book.B. The time one develops a new habit.C. The time one gets used to something.D. The time one recovers from a surgery. 9．How did the researchers do the research?A. By doing questionnaires.B. By tracking people’s behaviors.C. By making predictions.D. By analyzing data of previous studies. 10．What can we infer from paragraph 5?A. Habits cannot be noticed easily.B. The amount of time a habit takes varies.C. One should perform a behavior constantly.D. It takes exactly 66 days to form a new habit.11．What is the best title of the passage?A. Habit—good or not?B. Better habit, better life?C. 21days to form a habit?D. Hit or miss with habits?The house had been cleaned and decorated elegantly. The air smelt fresh. Little labels on all we saw around the house displayed important details: date of purchase and the current selling price. We were at a garage sale. There was no talking or bargaining. Buyers could pick up at the listed price.All efforts that release cash that is locked into stuff touch me deeply. If they break conventional ideas, I will like them even more. It is my view that people love to follow suit and end up with emotions they ought to feel, rather than being true to themselves. To say that one does not care for one’s grandmother’s necklace is considered rude, so one would simply keep it in the locker and pass it on to the next generation.No longer so, I am guessing.It’s not always about money, but perhaps about considering one’s choices. My argument always is to use stuff, if you like it so much. Wear those pieces of jewellery; use those pieces of furnitures; take home those piles of old-time bedsheets. But if none of them fit into your current home, allow someone else to take them home. Turn those properties over instead of leaving them unused.Hoarding (囤积) is not a virtue. It is a waste of the money that is locked into the property you are hoarding. I may use it sometime in the future, say some. Give that a time frame. If you are holding something you haven’t used even once in five years, ask yourself if someone else may need it. Don’t sell if you don’t care for money; but do give it away.All else needs to earn their place for their value and usefulness for you. Celebrate the liberation from hoarding and let there be light!12．What do people often do at the garage sale?A. Purchase a garage.B. Label their belongings.C. Talk about decoration.D. Trade their unused stuff.13．Why does the author mention “neeklace” in par agraph 2?A. To call for respect towards the elderly.B. To advocate holding onto the family tradition.C. To show the financial condition of an average family.D. To prove people tend to follow suit against their wills.14．What does the author believe according to paragraph 4?A. It is a good idea to save money.B. A good taste counts in purchase.C. Unused items deserve a new owner.D. The outdated should be thrown away.15．What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?A. To call on people to get rid of hoarding.B. To show his worry about wasting resources.C. To draw attention to conserving the traditions.D. To inspire people to spend more on meaningful things.二、七选五16．In our ever-evolving world, where both personal and professional areas are loaded with challenges, problem solving skills are increasingly valuable in the workplace. ①Here’s how to enhance your strategy.Clear and brief communication is the key to effective problem-solving, acting as the bridge that connects diverse perspectives toward a common goal. ② It involves choosing the right words, structuring information logically, and being mindful of the audience to ensure that your message is both impressive and comprehensible.

It was a time filled with laughter and joy.One day, my father decided to build a greenhouse in the garden. He believed that having a greenhouse would allow us to grow more plants throughout the year. With the help of my mother and me, he started to build it. It took us several days, but finally, the greenhouse was ready.The greenhouse was a great success. We were able to grow plants even in winter. It was amazing to see the flowers blooming and the vegetables growing in the cold season. However, we soon realized that the greenhouse needed constant care. The plants had to be watered regularly, and we had to clean the greenhouse to prevent pests and diseases.One day, I noticed that some of the plants in the greenhouse were not doing well. They were wilting and losing their leaves. I was worried and asked my father what was wrong. He checked the plants and explained that they were suffering from a lack of sunlight. The thick glass of the greenhouse blocked most of the sunlight from reaching the plants.To solve the problem, my father built a small window on the side of the greenhouse. The window allowed sunlight to enter the greenhouse, and the plants started to thrive again. From that day on, we made sure to keep the window open during the day to provide the plants with enough light.The greenhouse not only extended our growing season, but it also brought us closer as a family. We learned the importance of teamwork and hard work.

In many regions of the country, it can take hours to get to the nearest hospital. Boateng said many people lost their lives due to preventable or treatable diseases. His grandmother and aunt were among them.Feeling an urgent ca ll to help, Boateng decided he would make it his life’s mission to bring health care to remote communities in Ghana where education and preventative health care were lacking.Boateng wanted to find a way to remove these barriers to health care access and education. He started his nonprofit organization, OKB Hope Foundation. In 2021, he converted (转变) a van (面包车) into a mobile doctor’s office and started bringing health care directly to those in need. A few times a week, the mobile clinic and medical team travel long distances to remote communities and provide free routine medical care.On each trip, Boateng’s team consists of a nurse, a physician assistant, a doctor, and an operation assistant. In the van, they can run basic labs like bloodwork and urinalysis (尿液分析) as well as provide medicine. “It’s like a one-stop shop for people, ” said Boateng, adding that most of the people they see have one health issue or another. Since its launch, the Hope Health Van has served more than 4,000 Ghanaians across more than 45 rural communities who otherwise don’t have easily accessible medical care, according to Boateng.Boateng has gone all in on his OKB Hope Foundation, recently quitting his job to dedicate his time to bringing health care to his home country.

Her imaginative work challenges the common thinking that urbanization has a negative impact on the planet, whether flooding, excess (过度的) energy use, disrupted (扰乱) biodiversity or the heat island effect.The 236, 806-square-foot structure, which opened in December 2019, includes a flood water management system and Asia’s largest rooftop organic farm. It combines modern landscape architecture with traditional agricultural knowledge, creating a green and friendly environment.The green roof, containing an H-shaped landscape, looks like a futuristic hill with a brick building beneath it. The hill features a complex pattern of zigzagging terraces (之字形梯田) of planted beds, leading all the way down to the bottom. When rainwater hits the roof, it flows down the zigzags while being absorbed by the soil in the beds, The excess water is directed into four storage ponds — with a capacity of up to 3 million gallons. The process slows down the flow speed of rainwater runoff compared to a normal concrete rooftop. This keeps the area from flooding during heavy rains.The roof’s terraces are filled with organically grown crops, including a drought tolerant variety of rice, many local vegetables and herbs. The farm can supply the canteens on campus with a large amount of rice, herbs and vegetables a year. The food waste is composted (把……制成堆肥) to fertilize the farm, and water from the storage ponds is used to water plants, creating an entirely localized and circular system.The farm serves as an outdoor classroom and a source of local jobs, too. Farmers offer workshops on sustainable agriculture and nutrition as part of the university’s sustainability curriculum. “Students and community members are invited to participate in se asonal seeding, harvesting, and so on,” says V oraakhom. “The urban farm is training a new generation of organic farmers with real-world skills. It also promotes a sense of community.”8．What can we say about V oraakhom’s work?A. It’s short-lived.B. It’s c reative.C. It’s demanding.D. It’s time-consuming.9．Why is the rooftop designed to be zigzag?A. To store more water.B. To plant diverse vegetables.C. To slow the speed of water flow.D. To make it look more attractive than other buildings.10．What can be inferred about the farm from paragraph 4?A. It uses food as fertilizer.B. It benefits the environment.C. It improves students’ lifestyle.D. It produces vegetables and fruits.11．What does the author want to show by mentioning the outdoor classroom?A. Students can learn hands-on knowledge on the farm.B. Farmers working on the farm can become professors.C. The farm prevents government from offering people jobs.D. The farm harms the relationship between university and community.Plastic is everywhere in our modern world. Its toughness makes it an extremely useful material from household items to vehicle parts, but that same toughness makes it hard to break down for recycling or disposal (处理). However, Japanese scientists at the University of Tokyo have developed a new plastic material that can be broken down more easily and can self-heal and remember past shapes.Based on a kind of plastic called an epoxy resin vitrimer, which is brittle (脆性的), the new plastic boasts a huge range of advantages. Once scratched with a knife, it can completely patch itself up after being heated to 150 ℃ for just 60 seconds. When shaped into the shape of a crane, then flattened, it can fold itself back into the crane shape by being heated up. It does all of this much faster than others of its type.The new plastic can also break down easier. Even if it’s discarded (丢弃) into the environment, it still poses less of a, problem than other kinds of plastic, which the teamdemonstrated by placing it in seawater for 30 days. It biodegraded by 25% and released molecules (分子) that are essential food for marine life.The new plastic is more resistant to breaking. It can also repair itself, and can recover its original memorized shape. It even biodegrades safely in a marine environment, according to Shota Ando, a researcher of the study.The material can be used in a variety of applications, “Infrastructure materials for roads and bridges are often composed of epoxy resins mixed with compounds such as concrete and carbon,” said Ando. “By using the new plastic, these would be easier to maintain as they would be stronger and healable using heat. Unlike conventional epoxy resins, this new material is hard but stretchable, so it could also be expected to strongly bond materials of different hardness and stretch.”12．What is the author’s purpose in writing paragraph 1?A. To introduce the topic of the text.B. To show the disadvantages of plastic.C. To highlight the importance of plastic.D. To indicate his views on previous plastic.13．What do the underlined words “patch itself up” mean in paragraph 2?A. Change itself.B. Shape itself.C. Repair itself.D. Burn itself.14．What do we know about the new plastic?A. It is safe for animals in the ocean.B. It can provide nutrition for animals.C. It can change its shape when frozen.D. It is more brittle than previous plastic.15．What can be the best title for the text?A. Research Of New MoleculesB. An Interesting Scientific StudyC. The Widespread Application Of PlasticD. A New Environmentally Friendly Plastic二、七选五16．Reading books is one of the best ways to broaden your horizons, develop your new interests, and grow your minds.

To show the importance of English learning．BAfter the examination，the doctor told my parents my sight would get worse and that I would lose my sight finally．On the way home from hospital，no one said a word．One day，would I only imagine the scenery beyond the glass rather than see it？That September，I entered middle school．Most nights I had homework that included an armful of books to read．To keep up with other children，I took great trouble to finish the task．With my nose a couple of inches from the page，I was tired easily．What's worse，after I had read several pages on my own，the words slipped off the page into inky pools．However，then I did not have audio books and electronic devices like kids do now．Instead，Mom volunteered to read out loud．Mom worked part time，cleaned the house，cooked and spent time with Grandma．In spite of being so busy，she showed up in my room like clockwork．She put on her reading glasses．Mom always thought those glasses made her look old．To me，she looked like a teacher．In my room，Mom's voice competed with the ticking of the clock．Being forced to focus on listening，I found a way to keep my marks up and compete with the other kids．When the teacher asked a question，I raised my hand with confidence．Teachers praised me for having a good memory．Reading removed my fear for my failing sight，reading also made me curious about other people's challenges and how they managed．Though I could not use my eyes to fix on each passage，my mind lit up with every new book．True to what the doctor said，the worst came，but thanks to Mom，my sense of hearing now allows me to"see"．This was the most precious gift from a mother to her child．4.The author and his parents keep silent on their way home from hospital because A．A. what the doctor said was worryingB. the author failed in the examC. they were exhaustedD. they focused on the scenery along the road5.The author manage to raise his marks in learning by C．A. being confidentB. getting help from his teacherC. listening attentivelyD. competing with his classmates6.What can be inferred from the passage？DA.

The team figured out where in Alaska it likely was at any given point of its28-year life.To do so,the researchers closely studied a1.8-meter-long mammoth tusk(象牙)dating back around17,100 years.Mammoth tusks grow by adding layers of tissue almost daily,forming rings like a tree that can reveal detailed information.The main thing the researchers analyzed was strontium isotopes(锶同位素),which can act almost like an ancient GPS.Different areas have different isotopic features,which start in minerals deep underground and make their way to the top of the land,into plants and water.Finally,they can be seen on the animals that consume those plants and water.Previous studies had produced an isotopic map of Alaska by analyzing isotopes in the teeth of hundreds of small animals,which don't travel far in their lifetimes and so represent a local area.The researchers can then compare isotopic signals from each part of the mammoth's tusk to this map,to get an idea of where the mammoth most likely wandered throughout its life.The scientists started from where its remains were found.Working backwards,the scientists then looked at the isotopic feature of where the mammoth was about a week before death,then searched the map for the best match in a nearby area.A model then worked backwards stepwise to determine the most likely routes the mammoth might have taken.According to the research,the mammoth seems to have spent his early years in the Yukon River Basin and Alaska,constantly trekking between several territories in a predictable pattern.The team says that this behavior seems to be like modern elephants,moving regularly from place to place.8.What is the key to reading the mammoth's tusk?A.The length of the tusk.B.The age of the mammoth.C.The area the mammoth lived in.D.The tissue found in the tusk's layers.9.What can be inferred from paragraph3?A.Plants and water are main carriers of isotopes.B.The isotopes in the tusk came from the underground.C.It was difficult to analyze the isotopic features of an area.D.The researchers were surprised to find isotopes in the tusk.10.How do previous studies benefit the present one?A.By explaining the significance of tusks.B.By recording the animal species of Alaska.C.By offering researchers a map to compare with.D.By proving the possibility of analyzing isotopes.11.What does the underlined word"trekking"in the last paragraph mean?A.Looking for food.B.Escaping from dangers.C.Making a long journey.D.Sending warning signals.DFrom people's brains,a song was just picked by scientists.In a new experiment,electrodes(电极)measured their brain activity as they listened to a song.From those measurements,a computer could then produce noises that sounded like the song the people had heard.The29participants were in the hospital and had electrodes fixed in their brains.These electrodes were meant to track the source of their epilepsy(癫痫),a disorder of the nervous system.For part of that time,they listened to a song-Pink Floyd's1979hit Another Brick in the Wall.But in this experiment,the researchers found an additional use for the electrodes.They used them to catch the electrical signals moving between brain cells,or neurons(神经元).Neurons responded to the song-especially in parts of the brain involved in processing sound.Electrodes detected neural signals associated with hearing rhythm,harmony and other aspects of music.With that information,the team built a computer model to create sounds based on brain activity.And it was able to produce noises that sounded like the original song."It's a real tour de force,"says Robert Zatorre,a neuroscientist in Canada."You're recording the activity of neurons directly from the brain,so you get very direct information about exactly what the patterns of activity are."The new study also highlights which parts of the brain respond to different aspects of music.Take one known as the Superior Temporal Gyrus(STG),an area of the brain that is in charge of sound and language.It's found in the lower middle of each side of the brain.Activity in one part of the STG got stronger at the onset of specific sounds.Say when a guitar note played.Another area of the STG became obviously more active when it heard singing.12.The application of detecting signals by the electrodes is________.A.an improper practiceB.an unintentional moveC.an efficient tracking methodD.an effective approach to treating epilepsy13.What was the computer model intended to do?A.Detect neural signals.B.Monitor brain activity.C.Analyze different brain activities.D.Interpret neural signals into music.14.What does the author mainly want to show in the last paragraph?A.The brain is comprised of different areas.B.The new study proves the complexity of the brain.C.Different brain areas pick up various aspects of music.D.Different styles of music cause different brain activities.15.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.New Fields for Music StudyB.Reproduce Music from the BrainC.A Real Blessing for Music LoversD.Create Computer Models for Brain Research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。
