Instagram is one of the most popular photo apps. Animal photos are huge on it, with creatures such as tigers, monkeys holding millions of tags (标签) each. This year Instagram reveals the top four most Instagrammable animals that can be found in the UK.
1. Rabbit — 18.7 million tags
Our clear winner is the rabbit. Popular as pets, rabbits are a common sight in many UK homes. Although it is a symbol of Easter, rabbits can be seen year-round. Shy, danger-averse animals, wild rabbits will run away when threatened, which may make it tricky to get the perfect shot of them.
2. Duck — 8.2 million tags
A variety of duck species native to the UK can be seen year-round, close to bodies of water. The Mallard with its bright yellow beak and emerald green head is well-known to many of us. Ducks tend to stick together in groups, so visit your local pond or river to try and spot a flock to photograph!
3. Robin — 4.4 million tags
The red-breasted robin is associated with winter and Christmas. Robins will protect their space aggressively and won’t hesitate to drive away interlopers (闯入者) . Interestingly, robins can often be heard singing at night in that they mistake artificial light, such as street lamps for daylight. Try to catch a quick shot of a robin singing to the street lamps at dusk!
4. Hedgehog — 4.3 million tags
Hedgehogs are nocturnal creatures and hibernate during the coldest months. You’re most likely to catch sight of one on a summer evening in dry spaces. Hedgehogs can travel as far as 12 miles in a single night!A baby hedgehog is known by the sweet name of “hoglet” and a little hedgehog family makes for the perfect picture if you can capture it without frightening the animals.
21. Which animal is associated with Easter
A. Rabbit. B. Duck. C. Robin. D. Hedgehog
22. Why are robins often heard singing at night
A. Because they try to guard against shots.
B. Because they attempt to drive away interlopers.
C. Because they tend to mix artificial light up with daylight.
D. Because they want to express their affection for street lamps.
23. What do these four animals have in common

When Liam Pope-Lau fell into the ocean during a sailing lesson, he had no idea what he was in for. “I just remember how cold it was,” Liam recalls. “It really scared me and shook me up. “Thankfully, he was wearing a life jacket, but the water was freezing.
Liam’s scary experience inspired him to team up with his friend, Fraser Tuck, in his Grade 6 science class at the time. Together they came up with the idea of “LifeHeat”—a self-heating life jacket that could one day help someone in a similar situation. During the first phase, they concentrated on finding a chemical that creates heat upon contact with water. After a series of investigations, Liam and Fraser came across calcium chloride (氯化钙). It soon became LifeHeat’s primary chemical component, which allowed the life jacket to remain warm underwater.
Over the next two years, Fraser and Liam built 13 prototypes (模型) of LifeHeat. But instead of building multiple life jackets from scratch (从零开始), the two focused on creating an attachable pouch (荷包). When the pouch came in contact with water, it could heat the body’s core. For each prototype, Liam and Fraser experimented with different materials that could contain calcium chloride while still allowing its heat to escape. In the process, they experienced countless failures which, however, led them to be more creative.
The two have entered their many prototypes into several science competitions over the last two years. In November last year, Liam and Fraser won two awards at a big science fair. They are now taking the feedback they received from experts and applying it to their next prototype. Liam and Fraser anticipate turning their invention into a business.
As for future inventors, Fraser and Liam have advice for kids who want to create their own new technology. “Don’t be afraid to try it out because you never know where it could end up,” said Liam. “Go for it before someone else can steal your idea,” added Fraser with a laugh.
24. What gives Liam the desire to invent the “LifeHeat”
A. A science class. B. An amusing experience.
C. A special life jacket. D. A cold struggle in water.
25. What do the Fraser and Liam focus on initially
A. Finding a suitable chemical. B. Building multiple life jackets.
C. Creating an attachable pouch. D. Testing the prototypes of LifeHeat.
26. What can we learn about the “LifeHeat”
A. It has been put on the market.
B. It is invented through trial and error.
C. Two of its prototypes won awards at a science fair.
D. The attachable pouch is the most important part of it.
27. Which of the following can best describe Fraser and Liam
A. Humorous and ambitious. B. Courageous and competitive.
C. Creative and determined. D. Humble and intelligent.
C
Have you ever read your horoscope (占星预言) and thought the predictions were extraordinarily accurate If so, you’ve experienced the Barnum effect, also called the Forer effect. This psychological phenomenon refers to the tendency of people to believe that unclear, general statements are specific descriptions of themselves. The Barnum effect works exceptionally well for positive statements, as most people enjoy praise and reject criticism. It’s named after American showman P. T. Barnum, who’s strongly associated with the phrase, “There’s a sucker (容易上当的人) born every minute.” This announcement conveys humans are easily tricked by nature and desire to believe the good things they’re told about themselves.
This common cognitive bias (认知偏见) was demonstrated through an experiment conducted by American professor Bertram R. Forer in 1948. His students completed individual personality tests and were told that they would be analyzed and tailored feedback would be returned. Most students evaluated the feedback quality as very accurate. However, Forer had given each student the exact same results! General statements like “You have a great need for people to like and admire you” and “You have a tendency to be critical of yourself’ applied to almost everyone.
We’re used to identifying universally valid statements in astrology (占星术) and fortune-telling, but where else can we see the Barnum effect Digital platforms like Netflix and Spotify generate content recommendations on our profile. These are partly based on our user history, but they’re also general lists suggested for many users at the same time. However, we’re more likely to consume content when we think it’s personally selected for us!
To avoid being fooled by the Barnum effect, be aware that it’s happening and stay skeptical. Look for specific statements, not general ones. While being fooled may not be detrimental sometimes, avoiding being controlled by the Barnum effect can help prevent us from making decisions that may not be rational or wise.
28. Why dose the Barnum effect work especially well for positive statements
A. Because most people are born suckers.
B. Because most people prefer admiration.
C. Because positive statements are unclear.
D. Because rejecting criticism is a tricky business.
29. What can we know about the students participating in the experiment
A. They analyzed their personalities precisely.
B. They have nothing but praise for Bertram R. Forer.
C. All of them have a tendency to be critical of themselves.
D. Most of them considered the general statements as tailored feedback
30. What does the underlined word “detrimental” mean
A. Pleased. B. Innocent. C. Sensible. D. Harmful.
31. What is the purpose of the text
A. To warn people of the Barnum effect.
B. To present solutions to a common bias.
C. To persuade people out of fortune-telling.
D. To define the meaning of the Barnum effect.
D
A surprising finding that the inner core may recently have slowed down was published in Nature Geoscience. Let’s get to the core of how the Earth works to better understand the scientific findings.
The Earth is composed of several layers: the crust, which is the surface we live on; the mantle, which begins below the crust and ends at the outer core; the outer core, which is made of hot liquid metal; and the inner core, which is believed to be a solid metal ball of iron and nickel. Scientists believe that the inner core may “floats” in the liquid metal and rotate (转动) independently of the rest of Earth’s layers.
The study’s authors propose the Earth’s inner core may be experiencing a slowdown and that this difference can be measured by observing a change in how seismic waves (地震波) pass through the Earth’s center during an earthquake. Older data shows a lot of change in the wave patterns while passing through the core, but recent data shows the changes are no longer as visible. After analyzing the patterns of seismic waves through the decades, scientists theorize the Earth’s inner core changes its rotational speed over time. Different studies have concluded that these changes in speed follow a pattern that may range from 20 to 70 years. The observed changes in the inner core’s behavior are likely caused by magnetic forces acting on it, which is produced by the movement of liquid iron in the outer core. Although the core’s spin seems to be independent, we know that all layers of the Earth interact and experience effects from each other.
We have much more to learn about Earth and its physical processes. Scientists say that many years of continuous recording and study of seismic data are necessary to get answers. Until then, we must be patient. The investigation of this phenomenon will definitely lead us under the surface and into the core of understanding our planet!
32. Which layer is surrounded by the liquid metal
A. The crust. B. The mantle. C. The outer core. D. The inner core.
33. Which of the following may be a reason for the inner core’s slowdown
A. Magnetic forces. B. Seismic waves. C. Human activities. D. Rotation patterns.
34. What does the author think of the research into the Earth’s core
A. Promising. B. Ridiculous. C. Pointless. D. Questionable.
35. What would be the best title for this text
A. How does the Earth Work
B. Is the Earth’s Core Slowing Down
C. Is it Necessary to Record Seismic Data
D. What is Special about the Earth’s Core

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的短文。
I participated in an exchange program where a Spanish student, Jenny, firstly came to live in my home for a few weeks and then I went to live in hers in Spain. I was somewhat nervous but mostly excited about the coming experience.
After the initial excitement, cultural differences began to affect me, causing me to feel anxious and homesick. What made culture shock difficult to deal with was the language barrier. My Spanish skills were not at the level of being able to express how I feel clearly.
The most difficult challenge was the food and meal time. I usually had dinner at 6:00 pm in China, but in Spain we had it at 10:00 pm when I was very hungry! I was a picky eater, and while I ate meat, I still wasn’t very adventurous. But there was a lot of meat in Spanish dishes. There were little kinds of vegetables in their dishes and potatoes were their favourite.
One night, I asked what we were going to eat. Since I didn’t know the Spanish word “conejo” they used, the entire family started acting like rabbits at the dinner table in an effort to help me understand its meaning. I was shocked. But in order not to bother them, I didn’t mention anything about my inadaptation.
When going back to my room after dinner, I just wanted to curl up alone and missed the delicious dumplings my mother made in my hometown. As there was no Chinese restaurant nearby, what I could do was to draw dumplings on papers as if I had eaten them and threw them into the dustbin.

Create a Brighter Future with AI
Good morning, everyone!
I’m honored to speak on the theme of “Creating a Brighter Future with AI”. As we know, AI technology is developing rapidly in ways we could never have imagined.
However, with opportunities come new challenges. As teenagers, we need to continuously improve ourselves to better apply AI technology. Firstly, we need to keep learning and stay curious. By actively learning about AI, we can better understand its potential and find new ways to apply it to solve problems. Secondly, we need to develop our innovation thinking and problem-solving skills.
In conclusion, let us embrace the opportunities that AI offers and work together to create a better future.
Thank you!

Possile version:
Paragraph 1:
When back from school the next day, I was amazed by what I had seen. There were several dishes of dumpings on the table which were similar to the dumplings I drew yesterday. Jenny’s family were looking at me with big smiles. Seeing my confused look, Jenny explained in both Spanish and gestures that she happened to see my papers in the dustbin and told her family about my homesickness. After discussion, they decided to make dumplings for me to relieve it. “This is our first time to make dumplings. We hope you will like them.”
Paragraph 2:
Hearing what Jenny said, tears welled up my eyes. I hugged Jenny and expressed my heartfelt gratitude. Then I picked one of the dumplings up and had a taste in their expecting eyes. Even though the stuffing was only potato, I felt it very delicious and held up my thumb. All of us enjoyed a wonderful dinner together. From that day on, I also made up my mind to leave my comfort zone and try new things. I often thought of that special dinner after many years. It was their kindness that made me feel the warmth of family and I will treasure it with all my heart.
