Growing up as a kid in the UK, I was fascinated by insects. Wanting to protect them, I started building houses for ants, using little pieces of wood and leaves. I then moved on to making little cups and saucers from silver foil (箔纸) for the magical creatures. When seeing my work, my mother told me that the smaller I made things, the bigger my name would become.
As the years went by my designs became more complicated. Making sculptures isn’t actually enjoyable. I sometimes work for 16 hours a day without breaks, and it takes me up to three months to finish a sculpture. I have to hold my breath during the sculpting process.
One time, a fly landed on a Cinderella carriage sculpture I was working on. The fly’s wings blew it away, and it was lost. I was heartbroken. Another time, I accidentally breathed in a microscopic Alice from Alice in Wonderland. Alice is now in the Wonderland forever. But it did give me the chance to make an even better one the second time around.
My sculptures have taken me to incredible places. In 2012, I met the queen, giving her a crown on the head of a pin. In 2013, I received my first Guinness World Record for creating the smallest sculpture by hand, a 24-carat gold motorbike that fitted inside a hair. In 2017, I beat my record with a sculpture of a human fetus (胎儿) that measured 0.078 mm by 0.053mm.
I was diagnosed with autism (自闭症) as an adult. In school, my teachers had pointed me out as an example of failure; now, I see my autism as a gift. It’s pushed me to be the best I can be. I hold workshops in schools for neurodiverse children, sharing my story and helping them create their own miniature figures.
The microscopic world has always been my happy place. I’ve tried to make bigger sculptures, but small is best for me. We need to appreciate the little things in life. Small things can also be mighty, too.
4. What drove the author to make tiny sculpture at the beginning
A. His interest in insects. B. His desire to make a name.
C. His dream of setting a record. D. His awareness of wildlife protection.
5. Which of the following can best describe the author’s sculpting process
A. Eventful and enjoyable. B. Complex and frustrating.
C. Money-wasting but entertaining. D. Time-consuming but fulfilling.
6. How does the author deal with his autism now
A. He receives medical treatment. B. He takes full advantage of it.
C. He regards it as the source of failure. D. He shares it and asks help from others.
7. What message does the author mainly convey through the text
A. Great art comes at a cost of loss. B. Childhood experiences make a career.
C. Minor things in life can carry weight. D. Courage contributes to great achievements.

A study, led by University of Essex and University of Chicago, found that employees in remote settings generate fewer and lower-quality innovative ideas compared to those working full-time in the office. The findings also apply to those in hybrid settings where employees get the best of both worlds, spending some days in the office and some at home.
While remote and hybrid working arrangements can enhance employees’ work-life balance, many business leaders have voiced concerns over innovation suffering with these new work modes. Interestingly, the CEO of Zoom, the leading online communication application, recently required employees work more from the office, specifically mentioning a decline in innovation. The new research finds their concerns seem to stand on solid ground.
“Innovation in the workplace can occur through random, informal ‘watercooler’ conversations between employees, such as when they are chatting over coffee time,” explained lead researcher Dr. Christoph Siemroth. “However, these ‘productive accidents’ are unlikely to occur when employees work from home.”
The study followed over 48,000 employees from an Indian IT company, which has taken significant steps such as offering financial rewards to promote a culture where all employees see innovation as a key part of their job. The employees write up ideas about process improvements, cost-saving measures, or new products, which are then evaluated by the company.
While the quantity of ideas didn’t change during the working from home period compared to working in the office, the quality of ideas suffered. During the later hybrid period, the quantity of submitted ideas fell and innovation suffered, particularly in teams which did not schedule when they worked at the office or from home.
The findings imply that companies should take steps to regulate when employees are in the office. Innovation does not work well if half the team is in on Mondays while the other half is in on Wednesdays. Instead, set days when the whole team are expected in the office. While this limits the flexibility of hybrid work, research suggests that innovation benefits as a result.
8. What do the underlined words “stand on solid ground” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Need solid proof. B. Be hard to believe.
C. Be easy to understand. D. Have good reasons.
9 What contributes to workplace innovation according to Dr. Christoph Siemroth
A. Favorable and relaxing company culture.
B. Unplanned interaction among employees.
C. Access to workplace facilities and resources.
D. Professional training in promoting productivity.
10. What can we learn about workplace innovation from the study
A. Remote workers generated ideas of high quality.
B. Financial rewards could greatly boost innovation.
C. The hybrid work mode delivered unsatisfying results.
D. Working modes had no impact on the number of ideas.
11. What is suggested for companies to improve innovation in the last paragraph
A. Allow more flexibility in work schedules.
B. Encourage team work over individual work.
C. Require full-time office work for all employees.
D. Arrange time for collective presence of employees.
D
When it comes to balancing the needs of humans and the needs of nature, historically it was “develop or conserve” or “develop or restore”. However, now conservation methods are increasingly focusing on coexistence with nature and ecological resilience (恢复力).
The traditional model in coastal protection is that you build some kind of hard, fixed structures like a seawall, but conventional seawalls can have negative effects on biodiversity, habitats, nutrient cycling and the environment at large. “In this case, coastal protection and biodiversity are really at odds,” says Carter Smith, who researches coastal restoration.
That’s where living shorelines come in. Living shorelines incorporate plants and natural materials like sand and rock to stabilize coastal areas and protect them from storms while also creating more natural habitats and minimizing environmental destruction. Smith and his colleagues studied how living shorelines performed during multiple hurricanes and found that living shorelines had significantly less “visible damage or erosion” compared to sites with conventional storm protection infrastructure.
In addition to living shorelines, predators (捕食者) also play important roles in restoring ocean ecosystems. “One of the best examples we have of top predators facilitating ecosystems are tiger sharks in Australia,” says Prof. Brian Silliman, one of Smith’s colleagues. When the sharks are around, sea turtles eat fewer sea plants. “It’s not because the sharks eat a lot of sea turtles but because they scare them toward the shoreline.”
When physical stressors like climate change reach a certain point in a given ecosystem, wildlife can rapidly decline. But wildlife that is adjusted to coexisting with a top predator may have a higher stress threshold (阈值). In our ever-changing world, the ability to adapt is as important as ever. “I think there’s great optimism and opportunity here,” Silliman says. “There is so much that we can learn from nature, and the more we can learn to coexist and to integrate our society with thriving ecosystems, the better it will be for everyone,” Smith agrees.
12. What is implied in paragraph 1
A. The balance between humans and nature. B. The improvement in ecological resilience.
C. A promising consequence of nature restoration. D. A shift in the environmental protection strategy.
13. What’s the purpose of paragraph 2
A. To present Smith’s research achievements.
B. To demonstrate the significance of shorelines.
C. To explain the function of conventional seawalls.
D To show the problem of old-fashioned protection.
14. How do tiger sharks help restore the ocean ecosystem
A. By regulating sea turtles’ behavior. B. By influencing sea turtles’ population.
C. By removing sea plants from their habitat. D. By preventing physical stressors occurring.
15. What tone do Silliman and Smith take in the last paragraph
A. Skeptical. B. Cautious. C. Hopeful. D. Urgent.

47. 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。
Nameless Faces
For about a year, my voyage to and from work each day included a ten-minute walk through the heart of downtown area. As with most large cities, the homeless population in my city often gathered on downtown corners, asking pedestrians for their spare change. Like many busy citizens, I had learned to ignore the nameless faces begging for money each day. My limited life experience had led me to one assumption — they were on the streets because they chose to be, probably due to alcohol or other similar things.
But who would have thought that the first person to change the way I viewed humanity would be a completely stranger My overall outlook on people took a 180-degree turn in less than ten minutes.
I remember how particularly cold the weather had been that day. I saw one man sitting against a building, holding a white cup in front of him. His shaky voice reached out to me as I hurried past.
“Spare some change ” he asked. “I would really appreciate it.”
I didn’t even bother looking up at his nameless face. “Sorry, no money on me today,” I made a lie as usual quickly, my eyes fixed on the ground ahead.
Just a few feet past him, I slipped on the icy pavement and fell hard. I lay there for several moments, stunned and wondering if I had broken my leg.
“Are you all right ” A voice came from above me. I looked up and it was the man I had just rushed past, concern written on his face. He reached down, trying to offer help. “You should get that checked by a doctor. This bus goes past the hospital,” he said, pointing to the bus sign above me.
I held his hand as I struggled to get to my feet. He held my arm as I hobbled to the nearby bus stop and quickly sat on the bench.
A mix of emotions swelled within me — gratitude for his help, embarrassment for my earlier ignorance, and anxiety about getting to work on time. For a moment, I met his gaze, unsure of what to say. Then, a sudden realization crossed his face.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: “Ah, I forgot you didn’t have any money on you,” he said.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Seeing the bus approaching, I quickly took several bills out of my purse.

【答案】
“Ah, I forgot you didn’t have any money on you,” he said. Almost immediately, I watched as he fished out some coins from his white cup, his eyes brimming with care and sincerity. I was overwhelmed with guilt as I remembered the lie I had just told him only a few short minutes earlier. The coins shone like diamonds of humanity among the concrete jungle of the city and a mirror that reflected my selflessness and ignorance. “Sorry, actually,” I said, finding my voice, “I do have money.” I turned away from his offering hand, reached for my purse, and pulled it out.
Seeing the bus approaching, I quickly took several bills out of my purse. I offered the bills to him with genuine respect and humility. The words tasted bitter as I admitted my dishonesty. His eyes widened slightly, but he didn’t look angry. I could feel he was hesitating, and just then, the bus approached. I pressed the money into his hands. “I appreciate your help, more than you know. Please do take this,” I said sincerely. He helped me to stand up and said “Thank you”, the simplest words that humbled me like never before. With a final nod, I limped towards the bus stop. Despite his gratitude, I didn’t feel forgiven for my actions. These bills seemed too small a gift for the man who gave a name to every nameless face.
