【答案】18.A 19.C 20.A
【原文】For decades, popcorn and movies have gone hand in hand. However, the relationship between the two was formed later than you may think. Back in the 1920s, movie theaters were well designed, and popcorn wasn’t permitted there. The reason theater owners opposed selling popcorn wasn’t that popcorn was unpopular. The snack had been loved by people, especially kids for decades and had a reputation for being the street food. The owners were against popcorn because they believed it would damage the top-quality atmosphere they wanted to create. In the mid 1920s, more movie theaters opened. Not all of these new theaters were fancy. They allowed people to eat popcorn while watching movies. A couple of years later, the Great Depression hit America. In order to survive, theaters had to lower their ticket prices. And moviegoers would often buy a bag of popcorn since it was the only snack that had remained cheap. Soon, movies and popcorn became a popular pairing across the United States. Some theater owners even bought machines to produce popcorn themselves. The smell of popcorn filled movie theaters. Today, popcorn is considered an essential part of the movie going experience.

A
Women’s sport is experiencing growth. This season, the Allianz Premiership Women’s Rugby (PWR) league kicked off with a campaign to transform ideas of women’s rugby. Here are the stories of four remarkable women who are powered differently — born to break the stereotypes (刻板印象).
Abbie Ward, 30, Bristol Bears
Abbie has marked a successful return to the rugby field this season playing her first match since the Rugby World Cup Final in November 2021, just four months after giving birth to her daughter, Hallie. Abbie’s journey showcases a ground-breaking shift in the sport’s approach to motherhood. Abbie is eager to integrate Hallie into her playing life, maintaining a balance between being a mother and a professional sports person.
Jodie Ounsley, 22, Exeter Chiefs
Jodie attracts audiences as a deaf athlete. As the first deaf person to be selected for the England 7s squad, she in 2020 won Young Deaf Sports Personality of the Year. Jodie detailed, “I’ve had parents messaging me saying ‘My daughter with a cochlear(耳蜗的) implant hasseen you online playing rugby, and wants to do it, too.’”
Rachel Lund, 29, Gloucester-Hartpury
Rachel is a proud member of the “dual career club”, a nickname Rachel has given to the PWR players taking other regular jobs around their training and match days. She devotes herself to a full-time role as a physiotherapist (理疗师) with her commitment to female sport extending beyond the field. According to Rachel, “Research on female health is minimal at best. I’m keen on improving female health.”
Amanda Swartz, 23, Leicester Tigers
Amanda’s journey from a professional figure skater to a professional rugby player shows the determination that defines her athletic journey. Seeking a new challenge beyond skating, she discovered rugby. The discipline and goal-oriented drive experienced during her figure skating days became invaluable in her rugby change. Amanda has accepted her new sporting path and takes pride in promoting the visibility of rugby in Sweden.

Many biologists are drawn to ocean animals like sea turtles and whales. For me, the pale, blind creatures in the world’s darkest caves are more attractive. As an underwater cave ecologist, I find and name new species. I have described eight new species of sponges (海绵物种) so far, seven of which live only in caves. Sometimes I count the population of organisms to see how their numbers change over time. I also study how different species interact with one another and their environment.
When I start diving with my team members, there’s natural light around us, but as we div e farther, it turns dark, and we switch on our lights and follow the cave line — a thin thread explorers leave behind for divers to find their way in and out of the cave. While some caves are just a few meters long, some stretch over 300 kilometers and could be deeper than 50 meters. Diving at this depth, you might fall in narcosis,a state where the brain feels like it’s on a high, similar to being drunk. We might run into trouble an hour or so away from the cave entrance.
But the mysterious (神秘的) world we see inside is worth the risk. I remember diving into El Aerolito Cave on Cozumel Island in Mexico, where I recorded 101 species. My most exciting encounter to date has been with remipedes — poisonous wormlike creatures found only in underwater caves. It took me around 200 dives before I came face to face with about 15 of them hidden deep in the caves of Cozumel.
These delicate ecosystems are rapidly changing due to water pollution, climate change, and construction activities. We might lose the many life forms in these deep, dark worlds before we can even begin to understand them. I’m determined to explore all I can while they still exist. I’m taking advanced diving lessons and learning new laboratory techniques so that I can go even deeper into understanding this environment.

C
The deep and dark night sky is filled with wonder. Looking up at the bright stars, mysterious planets and ancient constellations (星座) brings a timeless feeling. Today, populated areas around the globe are enveloped in a type of fog that disconnects people from that amazing night sky, but reducing light pollution can help to restore the wonder.
After the sun sets, cities and suburbs across the globe are lit up with artificial lights. They glow along roads and highways and flood fields in sports stadiums. They also shine light on skyscrapers, malls, and flashing electronic signs. However, these lights negatively impact wildlife.
Artificial lighting has caused the firefly population to completely disappear in some areas, while lighthouse beams (光线) negatively impact marine species. In fact, in the US and Canada, 18 species of firefly are now classified as being threatened with a high risk of extinction in the next ten years.
Just leaving that light on affects the behavior of nocturnal pollinators (夜间传粉者) like moths, causing them to fly towards the light and not the flowers. This, in turn, negatively affects plants’ abilities to bear fruit and reproduce.
Many people are aware of many types of pollution including air, water, and land, but few realize that strong artificial lighting is harmful to all mammals, including humans. In order to make people aware of the importance of darkness, researchers wrote a world atlas (地图册) of artificial night sky brightness, which is published in Science Advances. Their findings reveal that 80 percent of the world populations live under a sky glow, with more than 99 percent of Americans and Europeans living under light-polluted skies.
Although individuals cannot control the highway and city lights, they can make a difference at home. And if everyone were to “turn off the switch”, it could help to bring back natural darkness in some areas. Light areas where light is needed and aim the light beams downwards. Try to use low-level lighting and be aware that some surfaces reflect more light into the sky.
28.What does the author mainly want to say in paragraph 2
A.Light pollution is actually widespread.
B.Artificial lights bring people convenience.
C.The use of artificial lights should be cut down.
D.The night sky is beautifully lit up with those lights.
29.Why do some plants fail to bear fruit
A.The light has been too strong. B.The pollinators destroy them.
C.They are not pollinated in time. D.They don’t receive enough light.
30.Why was a world atlas of artificial night sky brightness published
A.To popularize artificial lighting.
B.To call off environmental protection.
C.To stress the civilizations of human beings.
D.To bring awareness to the meaning of darkness.
31.What can individuals do to help reduce light pollution
A.Turn off highway lights. B.Use low-level lighting.
C.Let light beams upwards. D.Design energy-efficient lights.
【答案】28.A 29.C 30.D 31.B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人造光给其他物种带来的危害及一些减少光污染的办法。
28.主旨大意题。由第二段“After the sun sets, cities and suburbs across the globe are lit up with artificial lights. They glow along roads and highways and flood fields in sports stadiums. They also shine light on skyscrapers, malls, and flashing electronic signs. However, these lights negatively impact wildlife. (日落后,全球各地的城市和郊区都被人造灯光照亮。它们在公路、高速公路和体育场的洪泛场上闪闪发光。它们还照亮摩天大楼、商场和闪烁的电子标志。然而,这些光线会对野生动物产生负面影响。)”可知,日落后,全球各地的城市和郊区都被人造灯光照亮,对野生动物产生负面影响,可得出作者想在第二段说明光污染实际上很普遍。故选A项。
29.推理判断题。由第四段“Just leaving that light on affects the behavior of nocturnal pollinators (夜间传粉者) like moths, causing them to fly towards the light and not the flowers. This, in turn, negatively affects plants’ abilities to bear fruit and reproduce. (只是开着灯就会影响夜行传粉昆虫的行为,比如飞蛾,导致它们朝着光而不是花朵飞行。这反过来又会对植物的结实和繁殖能力产生负面影响。)”可知,夜行传粉昆虫被光吸引走,没有向花朵授粉,从而让植物不能结果,可得出植物没有结果可能是没有被及时授粉。故选C项。
30.细节理解题。由第五段中“In order to make people aware of the importance of darkness, researchers wrote a world atlas (地图册) of artificial night sky brightness, which is published in Science Advances. (为了让人们意识到黑暗的重要性,研究人员编写了一份人工夜空亮度的世界图谱,并发表在《科学进展》杂志上。)”可知,出版人造夜空亮度世界地图集是为了唤醒人们对黑暗重要性的意识。故选D项。
31.细节理解题。由最后一段中“Try to use low-level lighting and be aware that some surfaces reflect more light into the sky. (尽量使用低亮度的照明,并注意某些表面会将更多的光反射到天空中。)”可知,个人可以通过使用低亮度照明来减少光污染。故选B项。
D
Few social networking platforms are known for inspiring positive social change these days, but an Inuit-developed app is helping communities from Alaska to Greenland advance their self-determination. Named SIKU after the Inuktitut word for “sea ice,” the app allows communities in the North to pull together traditional knowledge and scientific data to track changes in the environment, keep tabs on local wildlife, and make decisions about how to manage it —all while controlling how the information is shared.
A group of Inuit elders and hunters from Sanikiluaq, Nunavut, came up with the idea for SIKU more than a decade ago to document and understand the changing sea ice they were witnessing in southeastern Hudson Bay. Over the years, SIKU has improved, and recently, the elders saw that the platform could help address a familiar challenge: sharing knowledge with younger people who often have their noses in their phones. In 2019, SIKU was relaunched as a completely developed social network—a platform where members can post photos and notes about wildlife sightings, hunts, sea ice conditions, and more. Since early 2024, over 25,000 people from at least 120 communities have made more than 75,000 posts on SIKU.
Traditionally, Inuit communities shared information orally(口头上地). Yet industry representatives and government scientists have a long history of dismissing Imuktitut knowledge and making decisions based on environmental data collected during irregular, short-term studies. Now armed with SIKU, northerners are documenting information “in a way that other people will understand,” said Lucassie Arragutainaq, a cofounder of the Arctic Eider Society.
Communities are already using SIKU to inform important decisions. In 2021, for instance, elders in Sanikiluaq were worried that the local reindeer(驯鹿) population had thinned, so SIKU was used to survey hunters and look at recent reported harvest rates. The analysis led them to temporarily close the hunt to relieve pressure on the population and to reintroduce hunting slowly once the number of reindeer increased.
This decision shows how the Inuit can use the technology in combination with traditional wildlife management.
32.What does the underlined phrase “keep tabs on” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A.Attract. B.Remove.
C.Transport. D.Monitor.
33.What was the initial aim of developing SIKU
A.To record sea ice conditions.
B.To share traditional knowledge.
C.To shoot everyday Inuktitut life.
D.To cut down teenagers’ screen time.
34.What does Arragutainaq think of SIKU
A.It challenges methods of short-time studies.
B.It transforms the lifestyle of Inuit community.
C.It makes Inuktitut wisdom better understood.
D.It collects data to identify government’s attitudes.
35.How does the author develop the last paragraph
A.By quoting an expert. B.By citing an example.
C.By making a comparison. D.By extending a definition.
【答案】32.D 33.A 34.C 35.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍因纽特人开发出一款app,并对其信息智慧使用,从而促进该地区的管理。
32.词语猜测题。划线单词上文“the app allows communities in the North to pull together traditional knowledge and scientific data to track changes in the environment (该应用程序允许北方的社区将传统知识和科学数据汇集在一起,以跟踪环境的变化)”、后文“and make decisions about how to manage it —all while controlling how the information is shared.( 并决定如何管理它—同时控制信息的共享方式)”以及倒数第二段“In 2021, for instance, elders in Sanikiluaq were worried that the local reindeer(驯鹿) population had thinned, so SIKU was used to survey hunters and look at recent reported harvest rates. (例如,2021年,萨尼基卢阿的长老们担心当地驯鹿数量减少,因此SIKU被用来调查猎人,并查看最近报告的收获率)”可以看出,这个app会被用来监测野生动物数量,并对其进行相应管理。因此,第一段中带下划线的短语的意思可能是“监视”。故选D。
33.细节理解题。文章第二段讲到“A group of Inuit elders and hunters from Sanikiluaq, Nunavut, came up with the idea for SIKU more than a decade ago to document and understand the changing sea ice they were witnessing in southeastern Hudson Bay. (十多年前,一群来自努纳武特萨尼基卢阿的因纽特人长老和猎人提出了建立SIKU的想法,以记录和了解他们在哈德逊湾东南部目睹的不断变化的海冰。)”可知,开发SIKU的最初目标是记录海冰情况。故选A。
34.细节理解题。文章第三段讲到“Now armed with SIKU, northerners are documenting information “in a way that other people will understand,” said Lucassie Arragutainaq, a cofounder of the Arctic Eider Society.( 北极开斋节协会的联合创始人Lucassie Arragutainaq说,现在有了SIKU,北方人正在“以其他人能理解的方式”记录信息)”可知,Arragutainaq认为SIKU使因纽特人的智慧更容易理解。故选C。
35.推理判断题。文章倒数第二段讲到“In 2021, for instance, elders in Sanikiluaq were worried that the local reindeer(驯鹿) population had thinned, so SIKU was used to survey hunters and look at recent reported harvest rates. (例如,2021年,萨尼基卢阿的长老们担心当地驯鹿数量减少,因此SIKU被用来调查猎人,并查看最近报告的收获率)”可知,作者利用事例展开最后一段。故选B。

How to Read Candidates’ Body Language in an Interview
Body language matters, especially in interviews. 36 Our posture, gestures, movements or facial expressions can shape our reputations. Learning to read body language is about understanding candidates’ motives.
Reading body language during interviews can provide valuable insights into a candidate’s personality. 37 Here are some common interview body language signals that you can learn to read.
Observe extreme behaviour. A candidate’s harmless action doesn’t mean they won’t fitin well at your company. But be careful about extreme behaviours, like a person constantly checking their phone.
38 You can read people’s body language by observing changes in their movements or posture. Imagine, for example, that a candidate suddenly starts tapping their foot. Maybe they feel the interview is taking too long. Or perhaps they’re facing an uncomfortable question.
Connect the dots. 39 For example, people may cross their arms when they’re cold. But, when you see a candidate crossing their arms, crossing their legs and balling their fists at the same time, prepare yourself for an aggressive (咄咄逼人的) answer.
Candidate experience greatly depends on an interviewer’s body language. Positive body language can make candidates relax and open up. Negative body language can spark (引发) defensive and reserved reactions. 40
A.Spot the difference.
B.Ask detailed questions.
C.It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it.
D.They don’t necessarily act the same way all the time.
E.However, understanding body language isn’t an exact science.
F.You can’t always tell what a specific gesture means on its own.
G.Be aware of mistakes to preserve a positive candidate experience.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。肢体语言很重要,尤其是在面试中。我们的姿势、手势、动作或面部表情会影响我们的声誉。本文从不同方面就如何在面试时读懂对方的肢体语言给我们一些指导。
36.根据上文“Body language matters, especially in interviews.”(肢体语言很重要,尤其是在面试中。)可知,选项承接上文,继续说明肢体语言的重要性。故C选项“重要的不是你说什么,而是你怎么说”切题。how you say it呼应Body language matters。故选C项。
37.根据上文“Reading body language during interviews can provide valuable insights into a candidate’s personality.”(通过阅读面试中的肢体语言,可以对求职者的性格有很有价值的了解。)以及下文“Here are some common interview body language signals that you can learn to read.”(以下是一些常见的面试肢体语言信号,你可以学习阅读。)可知,上文谈到在面试中读懂肢体语言可以对候选人的个性提供有价值的见解。也就是说在面试中读懂肢体语言的益处,然后接下来谈到“以下是一些你可以学会读懂的常见的面试肢体语言信号。”故可知E项“然而,理解肢体语言并不是一门精确的科学”切题,说明它是可以学会读懂的。故选E项。
38.根据下文“You can read people’s body language by observing changes in their movements or posture.”(你可以通过观察人们动作或姿势的变化来解读他们的肢体语言)可知,本段主要在说要发现不同点。故A选项“发现不同点”切题,为本段的小标题。故选A项。
39.根据下文“For example, people may cross their arms when they’re cold. But, when you see a candidate crossing their arms, crossing their legs and balling their fists at the same time, prepare yourself for an aggressive(咄咄逼人的) answer.”(例如,人们冷的时候可能会交叉双臂。但是,当你看到应聘者同时交叉双臂、跷二郎腿和握拳时,你就要准备好接受一个咄咄逼人的回答了。)可知,一个具体的动作可能表达不同的意思,所以你不能总是分辨出一个特定的手势本身的意思。故F选项“你不能总是分辨出一个特定的手势本身的意思”切题。承接下文。故选F项。
40.根据上文“Positive body language can make candidates relax and open up. Negative body language can spark(引发)defensive and reserved reactions.”(积极的肢体语言可以让应试者放松并敞开心扉。消极的肢体语言会引发防御和矜持的反应。)可知,选项总结上文,说明怎么样做到成为合格的候选人。故G选项“要注意错误,以保持积极的候选人体验”切题。故选G项。

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A young boy, named Timmy, lived in a small town. He disliked doing any work; he found it boring and would always come up with a reason to avoid it. His room was always messy with toys thrown everywhere, socks under the bed. Books and clothes piled up like a small mountain. Homework often remained untouched on the desk, buried under comic books and game controllers.
Timmy avoided chores, finding them less exciting than his digital universe. Day and night, Timmy tapped buttons, lost in virtual battles, his eyes glued to the screen. Socializing means chatting with fellow games online rather than meeting friends outside.
One Saturday morning, Timmy’s mom asked him to clean up his room. Timmy frowned and ignored his mom, diving deeper into his video game. His mother sighed and went on with her chores. That afternoon, as Timmy was standing by the window, he noticed his neighbor, Mr. Jenkins, working tirelessly in his garden, repairing the wooden fence (栅栏).
At the sight of Timmy, Mr. Jenkins smiled and called out, “Hey, Timmy, I need a helper to hold the wooden strips (木条). And could you lend me a hand for a moment ” Hesitantly, Timmy walked over. Mr. Jenkins showed him how to do it. He continued to help do gardening work such as watering and weeding(除草) in the garden. As they worked, Mr. Jenkins shared his adventurous stories when he was a soldier, and Timmy listened with respect.
Hours passed, and to Timmy’s surprise, he enjoyed helping out. His hands were dirty, but he felt delighted and meaningful. As they finished, Mr. Jenkins thanked Timmy and showed him the result of their teamwork: a neat garden full of colorful flowers and fresh greenery. Timmy felt proud and realized that work could be fun and rewarding.

【答案】范文
The next day, Timmy decided to give his own room a change. He got up early and started to put his toys in the toy box, picked up the socks from under the bed, and neatly stacked the books and clothes. He dusted and wiped the surfaces, making his room look tidy and clean. He was sweating, but he didn’t feel bored or tired. Instead, he felt a sense of accomplishment.
Later, when his mother entered his room, she was astonished. She couldn’t believe her eyes. The once messy room was now so organized and clean. She praised Timmy highly and Timmy beamed with pride. From that day on, Timmy started to take on more chores and responsibilities. He understood that doing work could bring satisfaction and joy, and he no longer just escaped into the virtual world. He also started to socialize more with his friends in person and enjoy the real world outside of his video games.

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
Women’s sport is experiencing growth. This season, the Allianz Premiership Women’s Rugby (PWR) league kicked off with a campaign to transform ideas of women’s rugby. Here are the stories of four remarkable women who are powered differently — born to break the stereotypes (刻板印象).
Abbie Ward, 30, Bristol Bears
Abbie has marked a successful return to the rugby field this season playing her first match since the Rugby World Cup Final in November 2021, just four months after giving birth to her daughter, Hallie. Abbie’s journey showcases a ground-breaking shift in the sport’s approach to motherhood. Abbie is eager to integrate Hallie into her playing life, maintaining a balance between being a mother and a professional sports person.
Jodie Ounsley, 22, Exeter Chiefs
Jodie attracts audiences as a deaf athlete. As the first deaf person to be selected for the England 7s squad, she in 2020 won Young Deaf Sports Personality of the Year. Jodie detailed, “I’ve had parents messaging me saying ‘My daughter with a cochlear(耳蜗的) implant hasseen you online playing rugby, and wants to do it, too.’”

Many biologists are drawn to ocean animals like sea turtles and whales. For me, the pale, blind creatures in the world’s darkest caves are more attractive. As an underwater cave ecologist, I find and name new species. I have described eight new species of sponges (海绵物种) so far, seven of which live only in caves. Sometimes I count the population of organisms to see how their numbers change over time. I also study how different species interact with one another and their environment.
When I start diving with my team members, there’s natural light around us, but as we div e farther, it turns dark, and we switch on our lights and follow the cave line — a thin thread explorers leave behind for divers to find their way in and out of the cave. While some caves are just a few meters long, some stretch over 300 kilometers and could be deeper than 50 meters. Diving at this depth, you might fall in narcosis,a state where the brain feels like it’s on a high, similar to being drunk. We might run into trouble an hour or so away from the cave entrance.
But the mysterious (神秘的) world we see inside is worth the risk. I remember diving into El Aerolito Cave on Cozumel Island in Mexico, where I recorded 101 species. My most exciting encounter to date has been with remipedes — poisonous wormlike creatures found only in underwater caves. It took me around 200 dives before I came face to face with about 15 of them hidden deep in the caves of Cozumel.
These delicate ecosystems are rapidly changing due to water pollution, climate change, and construction activities. We might lose the many life forms in these deep, dark worlds before we can even begin to understand them. I’m determined to explore all I can while they still exist. I’m taking advanced diving lessons and learning new laboratory techniques so that I can go even deeper into understanding this environment.

The deep and dark night sky is filled with wonder. Looking up at the bright stars, mysterious planets and ancient constellations (星座) brings a timeless feeling. Today, populated areas around the globe are enveloped in a type of fog that disconnects people from that amazing night sky, but reducing light pollution can help to restore the wonder.
After the sun sets, cities and suburbs across the globe are lit up with artificial lights. They glow along roads and highways and flood fields in sports stadiums. They also shine light on skyscrapers, malls, and flashing electronic signs. However, these lights negatively impact wildlife.
Artificial lighting has caused the firefly population to completely disappear in some areas, while lighthouse beams (光线) negatively impact marine species. In fact, in the US and Canada, 18 species of firefly are now classified as being threatened with a high risk of extinction in the next ten years.
Just leaving that light on affects the behavior of nocturnal pollinators (夜间传粉者) like moths, causing them to fly towards the light and not the flowers. This, in turn, negatively affects plants’ abilities to bear fruit and reproduce.
Many people are aware of many types of pollution including air, water, and land, but few realize that strong artificial lighting is harmful to all mammals, including humans. In order to make people aware of the importance of darkness, researchers wrote a world atlas (地图册) of artificial night sky brightness, which is published in Science Advances. Their findings reveal that 80 percent of the world populations live under a sky glow, with more than 99 percent of Americans and Europeans living under light-polluted skies.
Although individuals cannot control the highway and city lights, they can make a difference at home. And if everyone were to “turn off the switch”, it could help to bring back natural darkness in some areas. Light areas where light is needed and aim the light beams downwards. Try to use low-level lighting and be aware that some surfaces reflect more light into the sky.
28.What does the author mainly want to say in paragraph 2
A.Light pollution is actually widespread.
B.Artificial lights bring people convenience.
C.The use of artificial lights should be cut down.
D.The night sky is beautifully lit up with those lights.
29.Why do some plants fail to bear fruit
A.The light has been too strong. B.The pollinators destroy them.
C.They are not pollinated in time. D.They don’t receive enough light.
30.Why was a world atlas of artificial night sky brightness published
A.To popularize artificial lighting.
B.To call off environmental protection.
C.To stress the civilizations of human beings.
D.To bring awareness to the meaning of darkness.
31.What can individuals do to help reduce light pollution
A.Turn off highway lights. B.Use low-level lighting.
C.Let light beams upwards. D.Design energy-efficient lights.

Few social networking platforms are known for inspiring positive social change these days, but an Inuit-developed app is helping communities from Alaska to Greenland advance their self-determination. Named SIKU after the Inuktitut word for “sea ice,” the app allows communities in the North to pull together traditional knowledge and scientific data to track changes in the environment, keep tabs on local wildlife, and make decisions about how to manage it —all while controlling how the information is shared.
A group of Inuit elders and hunters from Sanikiluaq, Nunavut, came up with the idea for SIKU more than a decade ago to document and understand the changing sea ice they were witnessing in southeastern Hudson Bay. Over the years, SIKU has improved, and recently, the elders saw that the platform could help address a familiar challenge: sharing knowledge with younger people who often have their noses in their phones. In 2019, SIKU was relaunched as a completely developed social network—a platform where members can post photos and notes about wildlife sightings, hunts, sea ice conditions, and more. Since early 2024, over 25,000 people from at least 120 communities have made more than 75,000 posts on SIKU.
Traditionally, Inuit communities shared information orally(口头上地). Yet industry representatives and government scientists have a long history of dismissing Imuktitut knowledge and making decisions based on environmental data collected during irregular, short-term studies. Now armed with SIKU, northerners are documenting information “in a way that other people will understand,” said Lucassie Arragutainaq, a cofounder of the Arctic Eider Society.
Communities are already using SIKU to inform important decisions. In 2021, for instance, elders in Sanikiluaq were worried that the local reindeer(驯鹿) population had thinned, so SIKU was used to survey hunters and look at recent reported harvest rates. The analysis led them to temporarily close the hunt to relieve pressure on the population and to reintroduce hunting slowly once the number of reindeer increased.
This decision shows how the Inuit can use the technology in combination with traditional wildlife management.
32.What does the underlined phrase “keep tabs on” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A.Attract. B.Remove.
C.Transport. D.Monitor.
33.What was the initial aim of developing SIKU
A.To record sea ice conditions.
B.To share traditional knowledge.
C.To shoot everyday Inuktitut life.
D.To cut down teenagers’ screen time.
34.What does Arragutainaq think of SIKU
A.It challenges methods of short-time studies.
B.It transforms the lifestyle of Inuit community.
C.It makes Inuktitut wisdom better understood.
D.It collects data to identify government’s attitudes.
35.How does the author develop the last paragraph
A.By quoting an expert. B.By citing an example.
C.By making a comparison. D.By extending a definition.

How to Read Candidates’ Body Language in an Interview
Body language matters, especially in interviews. 36 Our posture, gestures, movements or facial expressions can shape our reputations. Learning to read body language is about understanding candidates’ motives.
Reading body language during interviews can provide valuable insights into a candidate’s personality. 37 Here are some common interview body language signals that you can learn to read.
Observe extreme behaviour. A candidate’s harmless action doesn’t mean they won’t fitin well at your company. But be careful about extreme behaviours, like a person constantly checking their phone.
38 You can read people’s body language by observing changes in their movements or posture. Imagine, for example, that a candidate suddenly starts tapping their foot. Maybe they feel the interview is taking too long. Or perhaps they’re facing an uncomfortable question.
Connect the dots. 39 For example, people may cross their arms when they’re cold. But, when you see a candidate crossing their arms, crossing their legs and balling their fists at the same time, prepare yourself for an aggressive (咄咄逼人的) answer.
Candidate experience greatly depends on an interviewer’s body language. Positive body language can make candidates relax and open up. Negative body language can spark (引发) defensive and reserved reactions. 40
A.Spot the difference.
B.Ask detailed questions.
C.It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it.
D.They don’t necessarily act the same way all the time.
E.However, understanding body language isn’t an exact science.
F.You can’t always tell what a specific gesture means on its own.
G.Be aware of mistakes to preserve a positive candidate experience.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A young boy, named Timmy, lived in a small town. He disliked doing any work; he found it boring and would always come up with a reason to avoid it. His room was always messy with toys thrown everywhere, socks under the bed. Books and clothes piled up like a small mountain. Homework often remained untouched on the desk, buried under comic books and game controllers.
Timmy avoided chores, finding them less exciting than his digital universe. Day and night, Timmy tapped buttons, lost in virtual battles, his eyes glued to the screen. Socializing means chatting with fellow games online rather than meeting friends outside.
One Saturday morning, Timmy’s mom asked him to clean up his room. Timmy frowned and ignored his mom, diving deeper into his video game. His mother sighed and went on with her chores. That afternoon, as Timmy was standing by the window, he noticed his neighbor, Mr. Jenkins, working tirelessly in his garden, repairing the wooden fence (栅栏).
At the sight of Timmy, Mr. Jenkins smiled and called out, “Hey, Timmy, I need a helper to hold the wooden strips (木条). And could you lend me a hand for a moment ” Hesitantly, Timmy walked over. Mr. Jenkins showed him how to do it. He continued to help do gardening work such as watering and weeding(除草) in the garden. As they worked, Mr. Jenkins shared his adventurous stories when he was a soldier, and Timmy listened with respect.
Hours passed, and to Timmy’s surprise, he enjoyed helping out. His hands were dirty, but he felt delighted and meaningful. As they finished, Mr. Jenkins thanked Timmy and showed him the result of their teamwork: a neat garden full of colorful flowers and fresh greenery. Timmy felt proud and realized that work could be fun and rewarding.
