The public footpath laid barely 20 meters from where I stood, promising a walk along the river, passing fields and through woodland, well away from any road. Yet there was something in my way—the River Thames.
I checked my map to see how to reach the path, but there was no other footpath that would lead me to the island on which it sat. It was only accessible by boat—kid’s dream. Similar to a talent show, some performances are educational but mostly, they just make you laugh. Talent is irrelevant, and audience engagement through call and response is essential.
Away from phones and peers back home, social norms fade and space for self-exploration forms. Shy kids come out of their shells, and cool kids let their guard down. They get to open up this door to a part of themselves that they wouldn’t have felt safe to reveal at school or at home.
It’s been a decade since my last performance as a camp counselor, and I never thought of skits from a skill-building perspective. But I now realize this rich camp tradition left a great impression on me. Through camp skits, I developed my sense of humor, built confidence in front of a crowd, and learned how to accept others for their quirks（怪癖）.
Maybe we can make our schools or communities more like summer camps by bringing the silliness of skits into our families and classrooms to reconnect with ourselves and each other. The next time you’re sitting around a campfire with friends and family, give it a try. Embrace the discomfort and invite your loved ones to join in on the improvising（即兴创作）. And remember: the more funny noises and childlike humor, the better.
24．What is the main purpose of skit performances at summer camps
A．To entertain and engage the audience. B．To showcase talent and skills.
C．To educate the audience. D．To compete with fellow campers.
25．What does the underlined phrase “let their guard down” in Paragraph 3 mean
A．Defend. B．Relax. C．Mature. D．Respond.
26．How did the author benefit from camp skits
A．She developed a competitive spirit. B．She understood social norms better.
C．She became more tolerant. D．She became more creative.
27．What does the author advise us to do
A．Take up challenges in life. B．Accept our imperfections.
C．Participate in more community activities. D．Break out of our comfort zone.
C
When it comes to architectural accomplishments, humans like to think they stand at the top. That is to underestimate the astonishing achievement s of social insects; for example, white ants raise skyscraping nests. The true master builders of the insect world, however, are the hundreds of species of stingless bees.
In a new study, Ms. Di Pietro and her colleagues observed over 400 colonies of the stingless bee species in a large bee house in Brazil in 2022 and 2023. Around 95% of the colonies exhibited honeycombs（a structure made by bees） built up in horizontal layers（水平分层）, like tiered wedding cakes, while the rest adopted a spiral（螺旋的） structure.
Since the stingless bee shows a strong preference for a horizontal-layer honeycomb structure, it’s surprising that spiral honeycombs occur. The team confirmed that there was no difference in the average cell-building rate between the two styles, and therefore no efficiency advantage.
In order to rule out a genetic explanation for the different styles, the researchers transplanted workers from colonies that built in one tradition to colonies that built in the other, having first emptied the host structures of their native adults. The imported workers soon switched to the local style, which was then continued by the colony’s young insects as they eventually matured into workers.
Dr. Tom Wenseleers guessed that the bees may switch styles as a way of coping with the build-up of small construction errors made by their fore-runners. Such a process, in which multiple organisms indirectly affect each other’s behavior through the traces they leave in their environment, is known as stigmergy（共识主动性）. The researchers later introduced a sign of spirals to the otherwise perfect horizontal-layer honeycombs, and found that it did indeed cause the bees to switch to building spirals.
These results suggest that stingless bees can pass on different building traditions across generations and individuals needn’t be instructed by their peers. “The findings are the clearest demonstration of cultural differences naturally appearing in insects. Insect culture would once have been thought impossible,” says behavioral biologist Andrew Whiten, who wasn’t involved in the research. “Less than a century ago, culture was thought to be uniquely human.”
28．How does the author introduce the topic of the text
A．By posing a contrast. B．By reporting an event.
C．By supposing a situation. D．By justifying an assumption.
29．What can be inferred about the stingless bees’ honeycomb-building behavior
A．It is a result driven by genetic factors. B．It involves cost and efficiency considerations.
C．It is switched constantly between several styles. D．It shows flexibility in the changing environments.
30．What is Paragraph 5 mainly about
A．The impact of fore-runners’ behavior on other stingless bees.
B．The underlying logic behind stingless bees’ building styles.
C．The advantages of maintaining stigmergy among stingless bees.
D．The significance of correcting small errors during construction.
31．What is Andrew Whiten’s attitude towards the findings of the study
A．Doubtful. B．Conservative. C．Favorable. D．Critical.
D
The American Psychological Association（APA） has issued its first advisory on social media use in adolescence（青春期）. What’s most striking in its data based on recommendations is how little we really know about how these apps affect our kids.
The relative newness of platforms like Snapchat and Tik Tok means little research is available about their long-term effects on teen and tween brains. Getting better data will require significant funding—and much more openness from tech companies.
“What little evidence we do have unsurprisingly suggests that social media trades on motivators that aren’t great for young brains. Many kids’ first exposure to social media occurs at the worst possible time when it comes to brain development,” says Mitch Prinstein, a psychologist and neuroscientist at the University of North Carolina（UNC）.
“Things like ‘button and artificial intelligence（in general）’ are going to affect young people’s brains in a way that’s very different from adult brains when it comes to the desire to stay online and to say or do almost anything to get followers.” When it comes to social interactions, he compares kids’ brains to a car with a huge gas pedal and weak brakes（刹车）.
Earlier this year, Prinstein and his UNC colleagues published the results of one of the first studies of how the adolescent brain reacts to social media. The team surveyed a group of middle schoolers to understand their social media habits, and then stuck them in an MRI machine to watch their brains as they reacted to social rewards or punishments. They found that 12-year-olds who habitually checked social media had distinct neural patterns, with more activities over time in parts of the brain associated with motivation, salience（or where attention is focused） and cognitive control.
The team didn’t weigh in on whether those differences were good or bad, or whether the relationship was causal or correlational. But their work points to the need for more research. It should also remind parents of the need to be keenly aware of social media’s hidden influence on still-developing brains.
32．What issue regarding social media apps does the APA report highlight
A．Their addictive nature. B．The lack of data on their influence.
C．The dishonesty of their developers. D．The ineffectiveness of their incentives.
33．Which word can best describe young brains in relation to social interactions
A．Uncontrolled. B．Sensitive. C．Unpredictable. D．Productive.
34．What did Prinstein’s team discover about adolescents who regularly use social media
A．They are usually highly motivated. B．They find it difficult to concentrate.
C．They have greater cognitive control. D．Their brains show unique features.
35．What might be the best title for the text
A．Empowering Teens in the Digital Age
B．How to Guide Teens’ Social Media Engagement
C．The Hidden Influence of Social Media on Young Minds
D．The Importance of Healthy Social Media Habits

Making the decision to invest in healthy lifestyle changes is more than just flipping a switch. 36 Psychologists have found that it takes an average of 66 days for a new habit to become automatic, but the truth is that building and maintaining lifestyle changes is highly dependent on each individual. However, there are some easy strategies that can help you develop a lifestyle change plan that works for you.
Focus on the whole picture. Lifestyle changes are like a puzzle. There are many pieces that must be added up to the whole picture. Building habits in only one area of the puzzle will leave your overall picture lacking dimension. 37 So it is important to understand how they all interact when setting up your lifestyle change plan.
Set realistic and achievable goals. 38 Focus on setting goals that are realistic. Instead of expecting to run a marathon in six months, shoot for running a 5-kilometer race and then work up to the marathon. Setting realistic goals that you can achieve and then building on them will help you maintain momentum（动力） and stay motivated.
39 Building habits takes time. Be patient with yourself and understand that the fastest way forward isn’t always the smartest way forward. The goal in creating lifestyle changes isn’t to get to the finish line as quickly as possible. The goal is to build habits that are sustainable in your everyday life. 40
A．Track your progress and adjust your goals accordingly.
B．Adopt new habits slowly and build on success.
C．Therefore, focus on building one habit at a time.
D．The goals you set for yourself are essential for overall success in changing your lifestyle.
E．Making sustainable lifestyle changes is a process that takes time, dedication and patience.
F．So, give yourself time to start small and build on success so that the end result is rock solid.
G．Your physical, mental and emotional health all work together to make or break lifestyle changes.

16-year-old Lisa hated looking at herself in the mirror. She was not comfortable in her own skin and feared people would label her “ugly” after seeing the burn scar on her face. It hurt her every time she had to recall that tragedy where her face was badly burned in a big fire. She enjoyed being alone, lost in books and melodies on her guitar. Shortly after Lisa’s 15th birthday, Chris, Lisa’s father, was stricken by a severe illness and lost his ability to walk. However, Chris managed to provide for the family. He sent his daughters to school and did everything possible to improve their lives. But their difficulties never ceased, mainly after he had to spend much on his mother’s heart treatment. It appeared as though fate had only terrible plans for this family.
Lisa knew everything, and she couldn’t bear to watch her daddy struggling so much. She wanted to help relieve her family’s burden. “What can I do to improve our lives ” Lisa lost in deep thought. One day, a leaflet promoting a local music contest landed on Lisa’s foot. Lisa’s eyes sparkled with hope when she read it and saw that the cash prize was $25,000.
Lisa secretly registered for the music contest. Over the years, she had been passionate about music, skilled at playing the guitar and mastering numerous musical pieces. Now, she needed to compose an original song, sing it and accompany it with her guitar. Lisa locked herself in her room in her spare time, preparing for the contest. In her original composition, she illustrated the joyful moments spent with her family, and she emphasized her heart felt gratitude for her father’s contribution to the entire household. Her lyrics over-flowed with genuine emotion. She tirelessly worked on the song, determined to perfect her performance. With the date for the contest approaching, Lisa spent more time on her preparations. She seemed no longer afraid to look at herself in the mirror. She often stood in front of the mirror, practiced her song and imagined her performance on the stage. Hopefully, she thought she would give her father a big surprise.

Dear Jim,
I’m more than delighted to know that you are interested in the volunteer activity held by our school, with the theme of “Beautify Our Homes”. So I’m writing to share some specific details with you.
As scheduled, we gathered at 8:00 a. m. last Sunday in our community. A variety of hands-on activities got all the volunteers involved in “Beautify Our Homes” actively, such as picking up litter on the streets, clearing up the benches in the park and so on. More importantly, we gave out leaflets made by ourselves to arouse the public’s awareness to help keep the community tidy and clean. Through this volunteer activity, not only did we contribute to a more beautiful community, but enhanced our sense of social responsibility.
All of us harvested a lot and looked forward to such a meaningful voluntary activity next time.
Yours,
Li Hua

The big day arrived, and Lisa was nervous. She gathered all her courage and walked onto the stage. Her heart beat fast as she sensed the audiences’ eyes on her, their sympathetic glances directed at her scar. “Just let it go,” she told herself and tried to keep calm. Fingering her guitar, she poured her emotions into singing her original composition. However, she did not make it to the final round. Lisa was terribly upset and returned home heart-broken.
Despite not winning the contest, Lisa’s performance impressed many audiences, including a musician. Three days after the contest, the musician, accompanied by the host of the contest, came to Lisa’s home. The musician offered Lisa the chance to join a band and receive professional music training because Lisa had music al talent. Thrilled by the unexpected opportunity, Lisa’s spirits lifted as she realized that her journey was far from over. With renewed determination, she started this new chapter, eager to see where it would take her. And she realized that talent, not beauty, was what mattered most.

The public footpath laid barely 20 meters from where I stood, promising a walk along the river, passing fields and through woodland, well away from any road. Yet there was something in my way—the River Thames.
I checked my map to see how to reach the path, but there was no other footpath that would lead me to the island on which it sat. It was only accessible by boat—kid’s dream. Similar to a talent show, some performances are educational but mostly, they just make you laugh. Talent is irrelevant, and audience engagement through call and response is essential.
Away from phones and peers back home, social norms fade and space for self-exploration forms. Shy kids come out of their shells, and cool kids let their guard down. They get to open up this door to a part of themselves that they wouldn’t have felt safe to reveal at school or at home.
It’s been a decade since my last performance as a camp counselor, and I never thought of skits from a skill-building perspective. But I now realize this rich camp tradition left a great impression on me. Through camp skits, I developed my sense of humor, built confidence in front of a crowd, and learned how to accept others for their quirks（怪癖）.
Maybe we can make our schools or communities more like summer camps by bringing the silliness of skits into our families and classrooms to reconnect with ourselves and each other. The next time you’re sitting around a campfire with friends and family, give it a try. Embrace the discomfort and invite your loved ones to join in on the improvising（即兴创作）. And remember: the more funny noises and childlike humor, the better.
24．What is the main purpose of skit performances at summer camps
A．To entertain and engage the audience. B．To showcase talent and skills.
C．To educate the audience. D．To compete with fellow campers.
25．What does the underlined phrase “let their guard down” in Paragraph 3 mean
A．Defend. B．Relax. C．Mature. D．Respond.
26．How did the author benefit from camp skits
A．She developed a competitive spirit. B．She understood social norms better.
C．She became more tolerant. D．She became more creative.
27．What does the author advise us to do
A．Take up challenges in life. B．Accept our imperfections.
C．Participate in more community activities. D．Break out of our comfort zone.

When it comes to architectural accomplishments, humans like to think they stand at the top. That is to underestimate the astonishing achievement s of social insects; for example, white ants raise skyscraping nests. The true master builders of the insect world, however, are the hundreds of species of stingless bees.
In a new study, Ms. Di Pietro and her colleagues observed over 400 colonies of the stingless bee species in a large bee house in Brazil in 2022 and 2023. Around 95% of the colonies exhibited honeycombs（a structure made by bees） built up in horizontal layers（水平分层）, like tiered wedding cakes, while the rest adopted a spiral（螺旋的） structure.
Since the stingless bee shows a strong preference for a horizontal-layer honeycomb structure, it’s surprising that spiral honeycombs occur. The team confirmed that there was no difference in the average cell-building rate between the two styles, and therefore no efficiency advantage.
In order to rule out a genetic explanation for the different styles, the researchers transplanted workers from colonies that built in one tradition to colonies that built in the other, having first emptied the host structures of their native adults. The imported workers soon switched to the local style, which was then continued by the colony’s young insects as they eventually matured into workers.
Dr. Tom Wenseleers guessed that the bees may switch styles as a way of coping with the build-up of small construction errors made by their fore-runners. Such a process, in which multiple organisms indirectly affect each other’s behavior through the traces they leave in their environment, is known as stigmergy（共识主动性）. The researchers later introduced a sign of spirals to the otherwise perfect horizontal-layer honeycombs, and found that it did indeed cause the bees to switch to building spirals.
These results suggest that stingless bees can pass on different building traditions across generations and individuals needn’t be instructed by their peers. “The findings are the clearest demonstration of cultural differences naturally appearing in insects. Insect culture would once have been thought impossible,” says behavioral biologist Andrew Whiten, who wasn’t involved in the research. “Less than a century ago, culture was thought to be uniquely human.”
28．How does the author introduce the topic of the text
A．By posing a contrast. B．By reporting an event.
C．By supposing a situation. D．By justifying an assumption.
29．What can be inferred about the stingless bees’ honeycomb-building behavior
A．It is a result driven by genetic factors. B．It involves cost and efficiency considerations.
C．It is switched constantly between several styles. D．It shows flexibility in the changing environments.
30．What is Paragraph 5 mainly about
A．The impact of fore-runners’ behavior on other stingless bees.
B．The underlying logic behind stingless bees’ building styles.
C．The advantages of maintaining stigmergy among stingless bees.
D．The significance of correcting small errors during construction.
31．What is Andrew Whiten’s attitude towards the findings of the study
A．Doubtful. B．Conservative. C．Favorable. D．Critical.
D
The American Psychological Association（APA） has issued its first advisory on social media use in adolescence（青春期）. What’s most striking in its data based on recommendations is how little we really know about how these apps affect our kids.
The relative newness of platforms like Snapchat and Tik Tok means little research is available about their long-term effects on teen and tween brains. Getting better data will require significant funding—and much more openness from tech companies.
“What little evidence we do have unsurprisingly suggests that social media trades on motivators that aren’t great for young brains. Many kids’ first exposure to social media occurs at the worst possible time when it comes to brain development,” says Mitch Prinstein, a psychologist and neuroscientist at the University of North Carolina（UNC）.
“Things like ‘button and artificial intelligence（in general）’ are going to affect young people’s brains in a way that’s very different from adult brains when it comes to the desire to stay online and to say or do almost anything to get followers.” When it comes to social interactions, he compares kids’ brains to a car with a huge gas pedal and weak brakes（刹车）.
Earlier this year, Prinstein and his UNC colleagues published the results of one of the first studies of how the adolescent brain reacts to social media. The team surveyed a group of middle schoolers to understand their social media habits, and then stuck them in an MRI machine to watch their brains as they reacted to social rewards or punishments. They found that 12-year-olds who habitually checked social media had distinct neural patterns, with more activities over time in parts of the brain associated with motivation, salience（or where attention is focused） and cognitive control.
The team didn’t weigh in on whether those differences were good or bad, or whether the relationship was causal or correlational. But their work points to the need for more research. It should also remind parents of the need to be keenly aware of social media’s hidden influence on still-developing brains.
32．What issue regarding social media apps does the APA report highlight
A．Their addictive nature. B．The lack of data on their influence.
C．The dishonesty of their developers. D．The ineffectiveness of their incentives.
33．Which word can best describe young brains in relation to social interactions
A．Uncontrolled. B．Sensitive. C．Unpredictable. D．Productive.
34．What did Prinstein’s team discover about adolescents who regularly use social media
A．They are usually highly motivated. B．They find it difficult to concentrate.
C．They have greater cognitive control. D．Their brains show unique features.
35．What might be the best title for the text
A．Empowering Teens in the Digital Age
B．How to Guide Teens’ Social Media Engagement
C．The Hidden Influence of Social Media on Young Minds
D．The Importance of Healthy Social Media Habits

Making the decision to invest in healthy lifestyle changes is more than just flipping a switch. 36 Psychologists have found that it takes an average of 66 days for a new habit to become automatic, but the truth is that building and maintaining lifestyle changes is highly dependent on each individual. However, there are some easy strategies that can help you develop a lifestyle change plan that works for you.
Focus on the whole picture. Lifestyle changes are like a puzzle. There are many pieces that must be added up to the whole picture. Building habits in only one area of the puzzle will leave your overall picture lacking dimension. 37 So it is important to understand how they all interact when setting up your lifestyle change plan.
Set realistic and achievable goals. 38 Focus on setting goals that are realistic. Instead of expecting to run a marathon in six months, shoot for running a 5-kilometer race and then work up to the marathon. Setting realistic goals that you can achieve and then building on them will help you maintain momentum（动力） and stay motivated.
39 Building habits takes time. Be patient with yourself and understand that the fastest way forward isn’t always the smartest way forward. The goal in creating lifestyle changes isn’t to get to the finish line as quickly as possible. The goal is to build habits that are sustainable in your everyday life. 40
A．Track your progress and adjust your goals accordingly.
B．Adopt new habits slowly and build on success.
C．Therefore, focus on building one habit at a time.
D．The goals you set for yourself are essential for overall success in changing your lifestyle.
E．Making sustainable lifestyle changes is a process that takes time, dedication and patience.
F．So, give yourself time to start small and build on success so that the end result is rock solid.
G．Your physical, mental and emotional health all work together to make or break lifestyle changes.

16-year-old Lisa hated looking at herself in the mirror. She was not comfortable in her own skin and feared people would label her “ugly” after seeing the burn scar on her face. It hurt her every time she had to recall that tragedy where her face was badly burned in a big fire. She enjoyed being alone, lost in books and melodies on her guitar. Shortly after Lisa’s 15th birthday, Chris, Lisa’s father, was stricken by a severe illness and lost his ability to walk. However, Chris managed to provide for the family. He sent his daughters to school and did everything possible to improve their lives. But their difficulties never ceased, mainly after he had to spend much on his mother’s heart treatment. It appeared as though fate had only terrible plans for this family.
Lisa knew everything, and she couldn’t bear to watch her daddy struggling so much. She wanted to help relieve her family’s burden. “What can I do to improve our lives ” Lisa lost in deep thought. One day, a leaflet promoting a local music contest landed on Lisa’s foot. Lisa’s eyes sparkled with hope when she read it and saw that the cash prize was $25,000.
Lisa secretly registered for the music contest. Over the years, she had been passionate about music, skilled at playing the guitar and mastering numerous musical pieces. Now, she needed to compose an original song, sing it and accompany it with her guitar. Lisa locked herself in her room in her spare time, preparing for the contest. In her original composition, she illustrated the joyful moments spent with her family, and she emphasized her heart felt gratitude for her father’s contribution to the entire household. Her lyrics over-flowed with genuine emotion. She tirelessly worked on the song, determined to perfect her performance. With the date for the contest approaching, Lisa spent more time on her preparations. She seemed no longer afraid to look at herself in the mirror. She often stood in front of the mirror, practiced her song and imagined her performance on the stage. Hopefully, she thought she would give her father a big surprise.
注意：1．续写词数应为150左右；

Dear Jim,
I’m more than delighted to know that you are interested in the volunteer activity held by our school, with the theme of “Beautify Our Homes”. So I’m writing to share some specific details with you.
As scheduled, we gathered at 8:00 a. m. last Sunday in our community. A variety of hands-on activities got all the volunteers involved in “Beautify Our Homes” actively, such as picking up litter on the streets, clearing up the benches in the park and so on. More importantly, we gave out leaflets made by ourselves to arouse the public’s awareness to help keep the community tidy and clean. Through this volunteer activity, not only did we contribute to a more beautiful community, but enhanced our sense of social responsibility.
All of us harvested a lot and looked forward to such a meaningful voluntary activity next time.
Yours,
Li Hua

The big day arrived, and Lisa was nervous. She gathered all her courage and walked onto the stage. Her heart beat fast as she sensed the audiences’ eyes on her, their sympathetic glances directed at her scar. “Just let it go,” she told herself and tried to keep calm. Fingering her guitar, she poured her emotions into singing her original composition. However, she did not make it to the final round. Lisa was terribly upset and returned home heart-broken.
Despite not winning the contest, Lisa’s performance impressed many audiences, including a musician. Three days after the contest, the musician, accompanied by the host of the contest, came to Lisa’s home. The musician offered Lisa the chance to join a band and receive professional music training because Lisa had music al talent. Thrilled by the unexpected opportunity, Lisa’s spirits lifted as she realized that her journey was far from over. With renewed determination, she started this new chapter, eager to see where it would take her. And she realized that talent, not beauty, was what mattered most.
