Humans have been growing food for about 12,000 years, but 50 years ago a civil engineer named Mel Bartholomew figured out a new way to do it that could eliminate a lot of tiring weeding（除草）and watering that went with it. He called it the Square Foot Garden（SFG）, and the book he wrote about it sold over 2.5million copies, becoming the best-selling gardening book of all time.
Upon his retirement in 1975, Bartholomew became interested in gardening, but the more he got into it, the more inefficient he found it to be. Gardening had long been practiced in rows, which Bartholemew found to he wasteful, and difficult to work. Using his engineering know-how, Bartholomew came up with a method of gardening that could be practiced in a tiny backyard or rooftop, and which required only 10 percent of the water of a row garden.
Bartholemew’s view was that traditional gardening with its long rows in between wasted space, water, fertilizer（化肥）and work. In fact, his conclusion was that row gardens took up about 80 percent more space than needed. In order to maximize space, he began using raised beds, divided into a number of 12×12 inch squares, each square marked off with string or wood dividers. Each square was used for a specific vegetable and the plants were closely packed to make less space for weeds, which also accounted for its water and resource efficiency（效率）.
The SFG system is popular and reliable, but it has limitations. For instance, it can be expensive to set up, although using recyclable materials to build beds can help. In addition, it doesn’t work well in dry climates because raised beds dry out more quickly. But whatever its limitations, SFG has gotten millions of people growing their own food who might otherwise have never known the joy of gardening.
24．What does the underlined word “eliminate” in paragraph 1 mean
A．Remove. B．Cause. C．Replace. D．Control.
25．What kind of person was Mel Bartholomew
A．Careful and patient. B．Friendly and outgoing.
C．Creative and resourceful. D．Responsible and helpful.
26．Which of the following best describes the advantage of SFG
A．It helps save space. B．It uses less energy.
C．It benefits the environment. D．It works in different climates.
27．What is the text mainly about
A．A bestselling book on gardening.
B．The history of traditional gardening.
C．A gardening method invented by an engineer.
D．The great joy brought by the Square Foot Garden.

If we are to believe some of the upsetting headlines about Al, barely anyone’s job is safe. 32% of UK employees think AI could make their roles unnecessary, according to a research in 2023．Yet the same research found that 28% of workers believe AI could make their jobs easier. Meanwhile, many technologists claim that GenAI tools such as ChatGPT are more likely to help workers than replace them.
And so different industries are exploring it. International law firm Cleary Gottliebfor, for instance, uses GenAI to scan its databases and create a summary of its lawyers’ relevant experience before meetings with a new client（客户）. However, the firm says that the document produced by the AI won’t be ready to send immediately.
However, without carefully assessing（评估）its possible side effects beforehand, companies that adopt（采用）a new AI tool risk distancing employees or even making their lives more difficult. Firms should therefore identify whether the tech they’re interested in is likely to be a net benefit or not, according to Peter, assistant professor of AI at Leiden University. Actually, there are several other disadvantages that firms seeking to adopt it must avoid. In a banking conference, for instance, 15CIOs had all been keen to realize the huge productivity gains promised by GenAI. Three months later, these IT chiefs “hit a wall” when trust issues concerning data privacy and security arose. They were worried that the data they had been putting into the tools would make its way into their competitors’ banks.
Dylan Morley, lead principal engineer at Asos, reports that measuring the impact of such tools is a topic of “great discussion” across the industry. But he adds that this is a more complex matter than simply adopting a tool and waiting for, say, a 10% efficiency gain. She argues that firms could be focusing on areas such as managing time spent in meetings, other than adopting AI tools if improving efficiency is indeed their main goal.
28．Why does the author list numbers in paragraph 1
A．To explain the upsetting fact about AI.
B．To introduce technologists’ views on AI.
C．To prove the value of the research on AI.
D．To show different people’s ideas about AI.
29．What can we learn from the example of Cleary Gottliebfor
A．The law firm lacks confidence in AI.
B．The Al can’t summarize lawyers’ experience.
C．The document produced by AI is of poor quality.
D．Further steps are needed before the document is used.
30．What does paragraph 3 focus on
A．The potential risks of AI. B．The way to assess Al’s effects.
C．The ongoing application of AI. D．The difficulties employees face.
31．What can we infer from Dylan Morley’s opinion
A．Firms should not use AI tools.
B．AI is not the only way to gain efficiency.
C．AI is a more complex tool than we think.
D．It’s necessary to measure the impact of AI.
D
People greet each other in various ways, such as saying “hello” in different languages or through physical actions like shaking hands, giving hugs, or exchanging kisses. Similarly, elephants have various greetings, as revealed by a recent study conducted on African elephants in Zimbabwe’s Jafuta Reserve. “Female elephants of different family groups might have strong social bonds（纽带）with each other, forming what we call bond groups,” said Vesta Eleuteri of the University of Vienna, the lead writer of the study. “Earlier studies in the wild have reported that when these groups meet, the elephants perform special greetings to announce and strengthen their social bonds.”
The study identified around 20 specific movements related with elephant greetings, often accompanied by different sounds as well. Smell also plays a crucial role in greetings, with elephants exhibiting behaviors like emitting（排放）body waste. Besides, elephants make gestures（动作）meant to be seen, such as spreading their ears or displaying their behinds, and employ touching gestures involving touching other elephants. They actually show an understanding of what other elephants can see, using visual gestures when their partner is looking and touching gestures when they are not.
Similar greeting behavior has been observed in various animals, which helps manage social situations by reducing tension or confirming social bonds. The study observed both female and male elephants in the reserve, with female greetings closely matching those of wild elephants, while male greetings appeared different. Wild male elephants often don’t form close connections with others but use their noses to touch the heads of other elephants, giving off a chemical called temporin containing important information.
Elephant greetings play an important part in communication and social bonding among these intelligent creatures. Through their gestures, sounds, and smells, elephants deliver important. information about their identity, physical state, and emotional well-being.
32．What do we know about elephant greetings from paragraph 1
A．They are performed mainly by male elephants.
B．They are used to show power within the group.
C．They include physical actions similar to humans’.
D．They strengthen social bonds between family groups.
33．How do elephants show awareness of what others see
A．They produce different smells.
B．They make as many gestures as possible.
C．They make use of sounds to draw attention.
D．They employ visual or touching gestures accordingly.
34．What methods were adopted in the recent study on elephants
A．Interview s and surveys. B．Observation and comparison.
C．Model design and creation. D．Experiments and data collection.
35．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．Secret in Elephant Behaviors
B．Science Behind Elephant Sounds
C．Exploration of Elephant Greetings
D．New Light on Elephant Movements

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Mother’s Day is an occasion to celebrate mothers. 36 Based on my research and those of other psychologists, here are some tips for celebrating moms on Mother’s Day, and every day, to enhance（增强）well-being for both moms and their loved ones.
37 Psychology research suggests that Mother’s Day cards have it right —building a mother’s confidence by telling them that they’re amazing or that they always know how to make the family feel better can be greatly effective in enhancing moms’ happiness. 38 Compared to fathers, mothers generally report feeling more emotionally connected to their kids and more strongly identifying as a parent. A phone call with their kids can really improve a mom’s well-being.
The benefits of celebrating moms also reach their kids. 39 For example, my research has found that moms who are less stressed are seen by their adolescent kids as being better at understanding the kids’ ideas. When mothers feel positive, they have better communication with their kids and their kids feel better. That means it’s important to send appreciation mom’s way every day, not just on Mother’s Day.
Mothers are the main source of comfort and care for families around the world, yet it’s easy to take them for granted（想当然认为）most days across the year. 40 Helping moms feel happy will help the family feel happy, too.
A．So what can families do to enhance moms’ happiness
B．Stress can also impact how attentive moms are to their family.
C．However, we don’t often hear about the benefits of celebrating moms.
D．Positive parents enhance children’s men tal well-being and social bonds.
E．Moms play an important role in shaping our identities and guiding our life.
F．While flowers on Mother’s Day are appreciated, let’s celebrate moms every day.
G．If you’re an adult living far away from your parents, don’t forget to call your mom.
