About once a week, a veterinarian (兽医) Kwane Stewart heads down to San Diego’s East Village to make his rounds, serving the dogs, cats and birds who are the treasured pets of downtown’s homeless community.
Stewart’s parents were huge animal lovers. By age 6, he knew he wanted to be a vet. After graduation from a Colorado veterinary science program, he spent the next decade as a veterinarian. In 2008, he worked as head veterinarian at a country-run animal shelter in an area struck by the Great Recession. He saw pets abandoned and the work was extremely depressing. Four years into the shelter job, Stewart said he was burned out with guilt and ready to quit.
Then one morning on his way to work, he saw a homeless man and a dog. He treated the dog’s skin condition and the animal was transformed. The owner was beyond grateful and said, “Thanks for not ignoring me and for treating my dog.” “That was the moment for me. I got back to saving animals and doing it on my own terms.” Stewart said.
A few weeks later he set up a pop-up veterinary clinic at a soup kitchen, and when clients there suggested he take his services further, his new job as “Street Vet” began. In addition to treating common diseases, Stewart often provides vaccinations (接种疫苗) and general wellness checks. He also promotes “fear-free” pet care. Many of the people Stewart serves are not just grateful for the help but also form a deep bond with him, seeing him as someone who not only treats their pets but also acknowledges their humanity.
“I can dream a little bit that people from all over the world will want to emulate what I do. ”Stewart said. Right now, he is building a network of trusted volunteers, technicians with hospitals and clinics. “These are all people who just reached out and said, ‘I’m inspired by what you do. How do I do it ’” he said.
4.What do we know about Steward’s current job
A.He runs an animal shelter.
B.He adopts abandoned pets.
C.He works for a science program.
D.He attends to homeless people's pets.
5.Why is Stewart’s shelter job mentioned
A.To explain his change of career focus.
B.To illustrate his professional competence.
C.To explore the future of the industry.
D.To reflect the challenges of the profession,
6.What do many people think of Steward
A.He’s odd. B.He’s frank. C.He’s humble. D.He’s merciful.
7.What does the underlined word “emulate” in the last paragraph mean
A.Follow the example of. B.Show respect for.
C.Put the blame on. D.Pay attention to.
【答案】4.D 5.A 6.D 7.A
【解析】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了斯图尔特在大学毕业后成为一名兽医,后来因为工作原因,他开始为流浪人群的宠物提供治疗,并获得了很大的反响。
4.细节理解题。根据第一段“About once a week, a veterinarian Kwane Stewart heads down to San Diego’s East Village to make his rounds, serving the dogs, cats and birds who are the treasured pets of downtown's homeless community. (大约每周一次,兽医克瓦恩·斯图尔特前往圣地亚哥的东村巡视,为市中心无家可归者社区珍爱的宠物狗、猫和鸟提供服务。)”可知,斯图尔特目前的工作是照料无家可归者的宠物。故选D项。
5.推理判断题。根据第二段中“He saw pets abandoned and the work was extremely depressing. Four years into the shelter job, Stewart said he was burned out with guilt and ready to quit.( 他看到宠物被遗弃,工作非常令人沮丧。在收容所工作了四年后,斯图尔特说他感到内疚,准备辞职。)”以及第三段“Then one morning on his way to work, he saw a homeless man and a dog. He treated the dog's skin condition and the animal was transformed. The owner was beyond grateful and said, “Thanks for not ignoring me and for treating my dog. ” “That was the moment for me. I got back to saving animals and doing it on my own terms. ” Stewart said.( 一天早上,在他上班的路上,他看到一个无家可归的人和一条狗。他治疗了狗的皮肤状况,这只动物被治疗了。主人非常感激地说:“谢谢你没有忽视我,还照顾我的狗。”“对我来说就是那个时刻。我重新开始拯救动物,并按照自己的方式去做。”斯图尔特说。)”和第四段中“A few weeks later he set up a pop-up veterinary clinic at a soup kitchen, and when clients there suggested he take his services further, his new job as “Street Vet” began.(几周后,他在一个施舍处开了一家临时兽医诊所,当那里的客户建议他进一步提供服务时,他的新工作“街头兽医”开始了。)”可推知,文章先讲述斯图尔特在动物收容所的工作经历,因看到宠物被遗弃而感到沮丧,几乎要辞职。之后遇到一位无家可归者和他的狗,给狗治疗后,斯图尔特决定以自己的方式拯救动物,开启了街头兽医的工作。所以提及收容所工作是为了解释他职业重心的转变。故选A项。
6.推理判断题。根据第四段中“Many of the people Stewart serves are not just grateful for the help but also form a deep bond with him, seeing him as someone who not only treats their pets but also acknowledges their humanity.( 斯图尔特服务的许多人不仅感激他的帮助,而且还与他建立了深厚的联系,认为他不仅善待他们的宠物,而且承认他们的人性。)”可推知,斯图尔特不仅治疗宠物还尊重无家可归者,可见人们认为他仁慈善良。故选D项。
7.词义猜测题。根据最后一段中“Right now, he is building a network of trusted volunteers, technicians with hospitals and clinics. “These are all people who just reached out and said, ‘I’ m inspired by what you do. How do I do it ’” he said.( 现在,他正在建立一个由值得信赖的志愿者、医院和诊所的技术人员组成的网络。“这些人都愿意提供提援助,说,‘我被你所做的事情所鼓舞。我该怎么做呢?’”他说。)”可知,很多人受斯图尔特启发,询问如何做,说明他希望人们效仿他的做法。“emulate”意思是 “效仿,模仿”,和A选项Follow the example of“效仿”意思相近。 故选A项。

Robots are separated into two parts: the brain and the body. An AI brain can help run the traffic system of a city, but many robots still struggle to open a door — why is that
“Software has advanced rapidly in recent years, but hardware has not kept up. Currently, all robots rely on electricity and software to function. The robotic brain composed of software translates information to the body or hardware through an encoder (编码器), which then performs an action,” said Dr Antonio Forte, a senior lecturer in engineering at King’s College London.
To overcome this, Forte’s team developed a circuit by integrating liquid-based circuits with an adjustable valve (阀) placed within a robot’s hardware. This valve acts like a switch in a normal circuit and engineers can send signals directly to hardware using variations in pressure from liquid inside, allowing the robot to perform complex tasks without the need for electricity or instruction from the central brain. This leads robots to function independently in challenging environments, such as low-income countries that do not have reliable access to electricity.
Independent from the software running it, the advanced hardware system carries the majority of computational load by itself. This opens up the possibility of a new generation of robots, whose bodies could operate independently of their built-in control center, with this space potentially being used instead for more complex AI-powered software, and consequently they can be more aware of their social context, which provides for a new kind of robotics in places like social care and mass production.
“Ultimately, without investment in such field robots will stay at a certain level after a period of growth. Soon, if we do not offload the computational tasks that modern-day robots take on, computing improvements will have little impact on their performance. The work is just a first step on this path, but the future holds smarter robots with smarter bodies,” Mostafa Mousa, a post-graduate researcher at King’s College London, commented.
8.What is holding back the development of robots nowadays
A.Backward hardware. B.High electricity cost.
C.Low-speed encoders. D.Complex calculations.
9.How does the valve function in a robot
A.It translates information. B.It adjusts liquid pressure.
C.It sends electrical signals. D.It powers robots’ brains.
10.What sets the new generation of robots apart from others
A.Autonomy with adaptability. B.Resistance to physical damage.
C.Understanding of users’ likes. D.Capability to control softwares.
11.What does Mousa think of the work of Forte’s team
A.Eventful. B.Doubtful. C.Promising. D.Dismissive.
【答案】8.A 9.B 10.A 11.C
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了机器人的构成,导致发展受到阻碍的原因以及解决方案。
8.细节理解题。根据第二段“Software has advanced rapidly in recent years, but hardware has not kept up. Currently, all robots rely on electricity and software to function.(近年来,软件发展迅速,但硬件却没有跟上。目前,所有的机器人都依靠电力和软件来运作)”可知,硬件落后阻碍了机器人的发展。故选A。
9.细节理解题。根据第三段“This valve acts like a switch in a normal circuit and engineers can send signals directly to hardware using variations in pressure from liquid inside, allowing the robot to perform complex tasks without the need for electricity or instruction from the central brain.(这个阀门的作用就像普通电路中的开关,工程师可以利用内部液体的压力变化直接向硬件发送信号,使机器人无需电力或中央大脑的指令就能完成复杂的任务)”可知,阀门通过调节液体压力在机器人中工作。故选B。
10.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“This opens up the possibility of a new generation of robots, whose bodies could operate independently of their built-in control center, with this space potentially being used instead for more complex AI-powered software, and consequently they can be more aware of their social context, which provides for a new kind of robotics in places like social care and mass production.(这开启了新一代机器人的可能性,它们的身体可以独立于内置的控制中心运行,而这个空间可能会被用于更复杂的人工智能软件,因此它们可以更了解自己的社会环境,这为社会护理和大规模生产等领域提供了一种新型机器人)”可知,新一代机器人与其他机器人的区别是具有适应性的自主性。故选A。
11.推理判断题。根据最后一段“The work is just a first step on this path, but the future holds smarter robots with smarter bodies(这项工作只是这条道路上的第一步,但未来会有更智能的机器人,拥有更智能的身体)”可知,穆萨认为福特团队的工作是有前途的。故选C。

(2025·广东省大湾区普通高中毕业班联合模拟考试(一))
Socrates declared that the unexamined life wasn’t worth living for a human being, implying that we should attempt to know ourselves, to think through our actions, choices, prejudices, and attitudes. But when it comes to thinking about our own happiness and what makes our lives go well, it really does seem that this reflective attitude can ruin our chances of finding what we seek.
Perhaps it’s not surprising that we are better designed for engaging in other activities than reflecting on how best to achieve our own happiness and well-being. Doing things that enhance our growth in physical, social and intellectual areas tends to bring the reward of feeling good, and so stimulates us further to pursue those activities. Sitting around reflecting on what will make us happy is a lot less efficient than chasing the things that make us happy, and if we think too much, there is an opportunity cost — time that we could have spent in a worthwhile activity has gone while we were thinking deeply about the best way to develop.
The philosopher David has written about the role of reflective thinking in sports. One of his observations is that while sportspeople need to think about the basic actions they are performing, it can be counterproductive to start thinking about the elements making up those actions. A footballer needs to think about kicking the ball low and hard to the left of the goalkeeper, but not to overthink the mechanics of the precise small movements of legs and feet that produce that outcome. If he or she does start this sort of thought process, it very often leads to a poorer shot. What’s needed is a kind of automatic response to the situation.
Perhaps something similar is going on in our life. Those people who start detailed programs of self-development in various dimensions, focusing on diet, habits, exercise, mental activity, work output, and so on, are like the footballer thinking through the small muscle movements. Perhaps their well-meaning self-reflection on their own development and how they want to achieve it, is the very thing that will make a high level of development forever unobtainable for them.
12.What may cause an opportunity cost
A.Spending time on worthy activities. B.Joining in social meetings actively.
C.Getting stuck in much self-reflection. D.Doing physical exercises efficiently.
13.Why does the author mention David’s observations
A.To praise a wise philosopher. B.To teach readers football skills.
C.To cite a case of overthinking. D.To argue for reflective thinking.
14.What does the author suggest readers do to achieve their goals
A.Make a comprehensive plan. B.Adopt a direct approach.
C.Think carefully before action. D.Attach importance to details.
15.What is a suitable title for this text
A.The Risk of Overthinking B.The Key to Well-being
C.The Way to Think Reflectively D.The Method to Develop Yourself
【答案】12.C 13.C 14.B 15.A
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了过度思考带来的种种弊端,告诫我们不要过度思考。
12.细节理解题。根据第二段“Sitting around reflecting on what will make us happy is a lot less efficient than chasing the things that make us happy, and if we think too much, there is an opportunity cost — time that we could have spent in a worthwhile activity has gone while we were thinking deeply about the best way to develop. (坐下来思考什么能让我们快乐比追求让我们快乐的事情效率低得多,如果我们想得太多,就会有机会成本——我们本可以花在有价值的活动上的时间,而我们却在深入思考最好的发展方式)”可知,困于过度的自我反思会导致机会成本,故选C。
13.推理判断题。根据第三段“One of his observations is that while sportspeople need to think about the basic actions they are performing, it can be counterproductive to start thinking about the elements making up those actions. (他的一个观察是,虽然运动员需要思考他们正在执行的基本动作,但开始思考构成这些动作的元素可能会适得其反)”可推知,作者提到David的观察是为了举例说明过度思考的劣势。故选C。
14.细节理解题。根据第三段 “What’s needed is a kind of automatic response to the situation. (我们需要的是一种对情况的自动响应)”可知,作者建议读者采取一个直接的方法来达成目标。故选B。
15.主旨大意题。根据第一段的“But when it comes to thinking about our own happiness and what makes our lives go well, it really does seem that this reflective attitude can ruin our chances of finding what we seek.(但是,当我们思考自己的幸福以及是什么让我们的生活变得美好时,这种反思的态度似乎真的会破坏我们找到我们所寻求的东西的机会)”以及全文内容可知,本文主要讲述了过度思考带来的种种弊端,告诫我们不要过度思考。由此可知,A项“过度思考的风险”适合作为文章的标题。故选A。

(2025·山东省日照市联考)
My legs were starting to ache from standing by my research poster for nearly ten hours. At 15, I was anxiously awaiting the possibility to speak to my biggest role model, J. Michael Bishop, MD.I’d learnt from other students who had previously participated in the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) that the Nobel laureate walks around from poster to poster to speak with students during the Public Showcase Day.
J. Michael Bishop, MD, who was the winner of the 1989 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, talked about his childhood and how he had hardly been exposed to science. Throughout his college education, he never imagined himself becoming a scientist. He had even been denied entry into countless labs due to a lack of prior experience. He had an ambition to become a scientist, but lacked the guidance to visualize his future career. Over time, he developed relationships with instructors who believed in him. More importantly, he learned how to believe in himself.
I found inspiration in Dr. Bishop’s goal of becoming a scientist and his willingness to be open and vulnerable — he often gave talks about his own self-doubt. Dr. Bishop is a role model for anyone who, like me, comes from an unconventional background, inspiring us to persevere and work through self-doubt to pursue a career in science.
When Dr. Bishop was just inches away from the posters nearest to mine, I ran up to my role model and asked him to come to my poster even if I wasn’t on his list. He was kind enough to spend at least an hour with me, discussing my research and ultimate goal to pursue a PhD.
Seven years after meeting Dr. Bishop, I had the privilege of pursuing a PhD in cancer biology, and my path continues to mirror his. I am devoting my graduate and scientific career to instructing students from underrepresented backgrounds through teaching, guiding them through their own research projects, and openly sharing my own story, just as Dr. Bishop does.

(2025·河南省名校大联考高三期末)
Elephants, the largest land mammals on the planet, are magnificent creatures and tourists rush to African countries to see them. Due to very successful conservation efforts, the African elephant population in countries like Kenya is growing. In the country’s popular Tsavo National Park, elephant numbers went from around 6,000 to almost 15,000 in 2021.
While this is great news for conservationists, it’s not seen that way by farmers who live in between two parts of the park. The human population has also expanded and this means that it affects elephants’ feeding and migration areas. This has led to conflicts between humans and elephants, sometimes resulting in elephant deaths.
Now a new solution using honeybees has been found to keep the elephants away from farms. This unlikely solution is part of a long-running project from the Save the Elephants organization. The sound of African honeybees prevents elephants. Now yellow-painted beehive (蜂巢) fences protect some of the local plots. The project is supporting 40 farmers whose crops are protected by 15 hives. Each of the hives is strung on a wire a few meters off the ground. This protects them from insects and allows them to shake if they are disturbed by an elephant, which starts the bees making sounds. This scares the elephant away.
A nine-year study monitored 26 farms that were protected by the beehive fences in two villages near the park. During the peak growing seasons — November to January from 2014 to 2020 — 3,027 elephants approached the fences and most were prevented. During the drought of 2017, which reduced the number of bees in the hives by 75 percent, elephants were still prevented 76 percent of the time.
Save the Elephants is now promoting beehive fences in 15 countries in Africa and Asia. But besides preventing elephants, the beehive fences can provide other benefits to communities. Bees provide pollination (授粉) services which can increase crop production and honey from the hives that farmers can sell to increase their income.
While this solution isn’t perfect, and is subject to the negative effects of climate change and drought, it does show that elephants and humans can share the land without conflicts.
8.What can be known from the first two paragraphs
A.Some farmers in Kenya hunt elephants for a living.
B.Kenya’s elephant conservation efforts hardly pay off.
C.The rise in elephant populations is actually a two-edged sword.
D.The expanding human population makes elephants endangered.
9.What’s the author’s main purpose in listing the figures in paragraph 4
A.To show the popularity of beehive fences.
B.To demonstrate the effectiveness of beehive fences.
C.To emphasize the large number of bees living in Africa.
D.To display the effect of climate change on the novel solution.
10.Which statement about beehive fences will the author probably agree with
A.They fail to meet the farmers’ expectations.
B.They turn out to be the original creations of local farmers.
C.They bring about economic benefits by boosting tourism.
D.They contribute to the coexistence of humans and elephants.
11.What can be the best title for the text
A.The Growth of African Elephant Population
B.The Importance of Saving African Elephants
C.Impacts of Climate Change on Elephant Habitat
D.Innovative Solution to Elephant-Human Conflict
【答案】8.C 9.B 10.D 11.D
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了随着大象数量增多,人类与大象产生了争夺土地的冲突,为此人们想到了利用蜂巢栅栏来让人类和大象的共存。
8.细节理解题。根据第一段“Due to very successful conservation efforts, the African elephant population in countries like Kenya is growing. In the country’s popular Tsavo National Park, elephant numbers went from around 6,000 to almost 15,000 in 2021.(由于非常成功的保护工作,非洲象的数量在肯尼亚等国家正在增长。在该国颇受欢迎的察沃国家公园,大象的数量从约6000头增加到2021年的近15000头)”以及第二段“The human population has also expanded and this means that it affects elephants’ feeding and migration areas. This has led to conflicts between humans and elephants, sometimes resulting in elephant deaths.(人口也在增长,这意味着它影响了大象的觅食和迁徙区域。这导致了人类和大象之间的冲突,有时甚至导致大象死亡)”可知,大象数量的增加实际上是一把双刃剑。故选C。
9.推理判断题。根据第四段“A nine-year study monitored 26 farms that were protected by the beehive fences in two villages near the park. During the peak growing seasons — November to January from 2014 to 2020 — 3,027 elephants approached the fences and most were prevented. During the drought of 2017, which reduced the number of bees in the hives by 75 percent, elephants were still prevented 76 percent of the time.(一项为期9年的研究监测了公园附近两个村庄的26个农场,这些农场受到蜂巢围栏的保护。在2014年至2020年的生长旺季(11月至1月),有3027头大象接近围栏,大多数都被阻止了。在2017年的干旱期间,蜂巢中的蜜蜂数量减少了75%,但76%的大象仍然被阻止)”可知,作者在第4段列出这些数字的主要目的是证明蜂窝栅栏的有效性。故选B。
10.细节理解题。根据最后一段“While this solution isn’t perfect, and is subject to the negative effects of climate change and drought, it does show that elephants and humans can share the land without conflicts.(虽然这个解决方案并不完美,并且受到气候变化和干旱的负面影响,但它确实表明大象和人类可以在没有冲突的情况下共享土地)”可知,蜂巢栅栏有助于人类和大象的共存。故选D。
11.主旨大意题。根据第三段“Now a new solution using honeybees has been found to keep the elephants away from farms.(现在,人们发现了一种利用蜜蜂让大象远离农场的新方法)”以及最后一段“While this solution isn’t perfect, and is subject to the negative effects of climate change and drought, it does show that elephants and humans can share the land without conflicts.(虽然这个解决方案并不完美,并且受到气候变化和干旱的负面影响,但它确实表明大象和人类可以在没有冲突的情况下共享土地)”结合文章主要说明了随着大象数量增多,人类与大象产生了争夺土地的冲突,为此人们想到了利用蜂巢栅栏来让人类和大象的共存。可知,D选项“大象与人类冲突的创新解决方案”最符合文章标题。故选D。

(2025·广东省佛山市三校第一次模拟)
If the findings of a bunch of new climatic researches conducted recently are any guide, we are rapidly approaching major climate change and the effects on society as well as the environment could be quite severe. Geographers have made a prediction that within the future eighty years, current world climate zones could shift and chances are that some could completely disappear. Polar regions will get colder while tropical regions will get even hotter, forcing animals to migrate north.
Climate changes like these could lead to the spread of diseases. Tropical storms and hurricanes will not only increase in numbers but in intensity as well. If the changes come too quickly, animal and plant species may not be able to adapt fast enough and could face extinction.
According to Science Daily, a new study predicts that by the year 2100, many of today’s familiar climates will be replaced by climates unknown in today’s world. It is urgent that we reduce the risks of these far-reaching consequences for the sake of the whole world. The planet earth itself has been showing signs of change, which concerns the scientific community deeply. In 2004, a serious tsunami created by a major earthquake killed thousands in Sumatra and in 2008, thousands died in China because of another severe earthquake. Egypt was hit in 2009 with a major earthquake and Haiti was devastated in 2010 by yet another massive earthquake.
Within just the last few months, new reports from around the world have been coming in and most agree that our climate situation is much worse than previously expected. At this point, it doesn’t matter what’s causing it, but rather, what can be done about it. What’s more, our world is getting more and more unstable every year. There has been war and threat of war everywhere. Natural disasters are becoming more frequent and serious.
However, astronomical observations have been showing signs that other planets are experiencing global warming as well as our own and some scientists believe there may be some connection behind such mysterious phenomena. Yet no one knows anything for sure at this point because there is simply not enough data.
12.What does the underlined word “devastated” in Paragraph 3 mean
A.shocked. B.destroyed. C.frightened. D.impacted.
13.The examples of several destructive earthquakes are used to support the idea that ______ .
A.Earthquakes have caused significant damage to the human society.
B.Measures must be taken to prevent future earthquakes from causing damage.
C.Some major changes seem to be taking place on the planet earth.
D.The probability of more earthquakes happening in the future remains strong.
14.According to the fourth paragraph, how should we react to climate change
A.We should explore the reasons for climate change.
B.We should explore possible measures to deal with it.
C.We should stop environmental pollution completely.
D.We should plan to move to other planets as soon as possible.
15.What can be inferred from the passage
A.Species won’t become extinct as long as climate change happens slowly.
B.There’s enough data at hand for us to predict the future of climate change.
C.The world is getting more unstable because of large-scale migration.
D.The earth is not alone in experiencing major climate changes currently.
【答案】12.B 13.C 14.B 15.D
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了气候变化对地球及社会环境的严重影响。
12.词义猜测题。根据文章第三段划线词前面的内容“In 2004, a serious tsunami created by a major earthquake killed thousands in Sumatra and in 2008, thousands died in China because of another severe earthquake.(2004年,一场大地震引发的严重海啸在苏门答腊岛造成数千人死亡,2008年,中国又发生了一场强烈地震,造成数千人死亡)”推知,划线词所在部分是指海地在地震中受到了严重的破坏。故划线词意为“摧毁,破坏”。与选项B“destroyed(破坏)”为同义词。故选B。
13.推理判断题。根据文章第三段“The planet earth itself has been showing signs of change, which concerns the scientific community deeply.(地球本身已经显示出变化的迹象,这引起了科学界的深切关注)”可知,作者举出几个破坏性地震的例子是为了支持地球正在发生重大变化的观点。故选C。
14.细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Within just the last few months, new reports from around the world have been coming in and most agree that our climate situation is much worse than previously expected. At this point, it doesn’t matter what’s causing it, but rather, what can be done about it.(在过去的几个月里,世界各地不断传来新的报告,大多数报告都认为我们的气候状况比先前预料的要糟糕得多。在这个时候,是什么原因造成的并不重要,重要的是我们能做些什么)”可知,对于气候变化,我们应该探索可能的应对措施,而不是纠结其原因。故选B。
15.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“However, astronomical observations have been showing signs that other planets are experiencing global warming as well as our own and some scientists believe there may be some connection behind such mysterious phenomena.(然而,天文观测已经显示出其他星球也在经历全球变暖的迹象,就像我们自己的地球一样,一些科学家认为这些神秘现象背后可能存在着某种联系)”可知,地球并非唯一正在经历重大气候变化的星球,其他星球也在经历类似的变化。故选D。

About once a week, a veterinarian (兽医) Kwane Stewart heads down to San Diego’s East Village to make his rounds, serving the dogs, cats and birds who are the treasured pets of downtown’s homeless community.
Stewart’s parents were huge animal lovers. By age 6, he knew he wanted to be a vet. After graduation from a Colorado veterinary science program, he spent the next decade as a veterinarian. In 2008, he worked as head veterinarian at a country-run animal shelter in an area struck by the Great Recession. He saw pets abandoned and the work was extremely depressing. Four years into the shelter job, Stewart said he was burned out with guilt and ready to quit.
Then one morning on his way to work, he saw a homeless man and a dog. He treated the dog’s skin condition and the animal was transformed. The owner was beyond grateful and said, “Thanks for not ignoring me and for treating my dog.” “That was the moment for me. I got back to saving animals and doing it on my own terms.” Stewart said.
A few weeks later he set up a pop-up veterinary clinic at a soup kitchen, and when clients there suggested he take his services further, his new job as “Street Vet” began. In addition to treating common diseases, Stewart often provides vaccinations (接种疫苗) and general wellness checks. He also promotes “fear-free” pet care. Many of the people Stewart serves are not just grateful for the help but also form a deep bond with him, seeing him as someone who not only treats their pets but also acknowledges their humanity.
“I can dream a little bit that people from all over the world will want to emulate what I do. ”Stewart said. Right now, he is building a network of trusted volunteers, technicians with hospitals and clinics. “These are all people who just reached out and said, ‘I’m inspired by what you do. How do I do it ’” he said.
4.What do we know about Steward’s current job
A.He runs an animal shelter.
B.He adopts abandoned pets.
C.He works for a science program.
D.He attends to homeless people's pets.
5.Why is Stewart’s shelter job mentioned
A.To explain his change of career focus.
B.To illustrate his professional competence.
C.To explore the future of the industry.
D.To reflect the challenges of the profession,
6.What do many people think of Steward
A.He’s odd. B.He’s frank. C.He’s humble. D.He’s merciful.
7.What does the underlined word “emulate” in the last paragraph mean
A.Follow the example of. B.Show respect for.
C.Put the blame on. D.Pay attention to.

Robots are separated into two parts: the brain and the body. An AI brain can help run the traffic system of a city, but many robots still struggle to open a door — why is that
“Software has advanced rapidly in recent years, but hardware has not kept up. Currently, all robots rely on electricity and software to function. The robotic brain composed of software translates information to the body or hardware through an encoder (编码器), which then performs an action,” said Dr Antonio Forte, a senior lecturer in engineering at King’s College London.
To overcome this, Forte’s team developed a circuit by integrating liquid-based circuits with an adjustable valve (阀) placed within a robot’s hardware. This valve acts like a switch in a normal circuit and engineers can send signals directly to hardware using variations in pressure from liquid inside, allowing the robot to perform complex tasks without the need for electricity or instruction from the central brain. This leads robots to function independently in challenging environments, such as low-income countries that do not have reliable access to electricity.
Independent from the software running it, the advanced hardware system carries the majority of computational load by itself. This opens up the possibility of a new generation of robots, whose bodies could operate independently of their built-in control center, with this space potentially being used instead for more complex AI-powered software, and consequently they can be more aware of their social context, which provides for a new kind of robotics in places like social care and mass production.
“Ultimately, without investment in such field robots will stay at a certain level after a period of growth. Soon, if we do not offload the computational tasks that modern-day robots take on, computing improvements will have little impact on their performance. The work is just a first step on this path, but the future holds smarter robots with smarter bodies,” Mostafa Mousa, a post-graduate researcher at King’s College London, commented.
8.What is holding back the development of robots nowadays
A.Backward hardware. B.High electricity cost.
C.Low-speed encoders. D.Complex calculations.
9.How does the valve function in a robot
A.It translates information. B.It adjusts liquid pressure.
C.It sends electrical signals. D.It powers robots’ brains.
10.What sets the new generation of robots apart from others
A.Autonomy with adaptability. B.Resistance to physical damage.
C.Understanding of users’ likes. D.Capability to control softwares.
11.What does Mousa think of the work of Forte’s team
A.Eventful. B.Doubtful. C.Promising. D.Dismissive.

Socrates declared that the unexamined life wasn’t worth living for a human being, implying that we should attempt to know ourselves, to think through our actions, choices, prejudices, and attitudes. But when it comes to thinking about our own happiness and what makes our lives go well, it really does seem that this reflective attitude can ruin our chances of finding what we seek.
Perhaps it’s not surprising that we are better designed for engaging in other activities than reflecting on how best to achieve our own happiness and well-being. Doing things that enhance our growth in physical, social and intellectual areas tends to bring the reward of feeling good, and so stimulates us further to pursue those activities. Sitting around reflecting on what will make us happy is a lot less efficient than chasing the things that make us happy, and if we think too much, there is an opportunity cost — time that we could have spent in a worthwhile activity has gone while we were thinking deeply about the best way to develop.
The philosopher David has written about the role of reflective thinking in sports. One of his observations is that while sportspeople need to think about the basic actions they are performing, it can be counterproductive to start thinking about the elements making up those actions. A footballer needs to think about kicking the ball low and hard to the left of the goalkeeper, but not to overthink the mechanics of the precise small movements of legs and feet that produce that outcome. If he or she does start this sort of thought process, it very often leads to a poorer shot. What’s needed is a kind of automatic response to the situation.
Perhaps something similar is going on in our life. Those people who start detailed programs of self-development in various dimensions, focusing on diet, habits, exercise, mental activity, work output, and so on, are like the footballer thinking through the small muscle movements. Perhaps their well-meaning self-reflection on their own development and how they want to achieve it, is the very thing that will make a high level of development forever unobtainable for them.
12.What may cause an opportunity cost
A.Spending time on worthy activities. B.Joining in social meetings actively.
C.Getting stuck in much self-reflection. D.Doing physical exercises efficiently.
13.Why does the author mention David’s observations
A.To praise a wise philosopher. B.To teach readers football skills.
C.To cite a case of overthinking. D.To argue for reflective thinking.
14.What does the author suggest readers do to achieve their goals
A.Make a comprehensive plan. B.Adopt a direct approach.
C.Think carefully before action. D.Attach importance to details.
15.What is a suitable title for this text
A.The Risk of Overthinking B.The Key to Well-being
C.The Way to Think Reflectively D.The Method to Develop Yourself

My legs were starting to ache from standing by my research poster for nearly ten hours. At 15, I was anxiously awaiting the possibility to speak to my biggest role model, J. Michael Bishop, MD.I’d learnt from other students who had previously participated in the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) that the Nobel laureate walks around from poster to poster to speak with students during the Public Showcase Day.
J. Michael Bishop, MD, who was the winner of the 1989 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, talked about his childhood and how he had hardly been exposed to science. Throughout his college education, he never imagined himself becoming a scientist. He had even been denied entry into countless labs due to a lack of prior experience. He had an ambition to become a scientist, but lacked the guidance to visualize his future career. Over time, he developed relationships with instructors who believed in him. More importantly, he learned how to believe in himself.
I found inspiration in Dr. Bishop’s goal of becoming a scientist and his willingness to be open and vulnerable — he often gave talks about his own self-doubt. Dr. Bishop is a role model for anyone who, like me, comes from an unconventional background, inspiring us to persevere and work through self-doubt to pursue a career in science.
When Dr. Bishop was just inches away from the posters nearest to mine, I ran up to my role model and asked him to come to my poster even if I wasn’t on his list. He was kind enough to spend at least an hour with me, discussing my research and ultimate goal to pursue a PhD.
Seven years after meeting Dr. Bishop, I had the privilege of pursuing a PhD in cancer biology, and my path continues to mirror his. I am devoting my graduate and scientific career to instructing students from underrepresented backgrounds through teaching, guiding them through their own research projects, and openly sharing my own story, just as Dr. Bishop does.
4.Why did the author stand by her research poster so long
A.To perfect her research poster.
B.To conduct her scientific research.
C.To participate in the event of ISEF.
D.To seek chance to talk to Dr. Bishop.
5.What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A.Dr. Bishop’s plan for his future career.
B.Dr. Bishop’s early exposure to science.
C.Dr. Bishop’s experience in experiments.
D.Dr. Bishop’s hard path to turning scientist.
6.Why did the author consider Dr. Bishop her role model
A.He overcame self-doubt to achieve his goal.
B.He was willing to talk about his vulnerability.
C.He worked hard and had strong self-discipline.
D.He was a success with a conventional background.
7.What can we infer from the last paragraph
A.The author feels proud of her extraordinary students.
B.The author follows Dr. Bishop's example to help her students.
C.Teachers sharing their own story impress their students deeply.
D.Dr. Bishop has a great impact on the author's research methods.

Elephants, the largest land mammals on the planet, are magnificent creatures and tourists rush to African countries to see them. Due to very successful conservation efforts, the African elephant population in countries like Kenya is growing. In the country’s popular Tsavo National Park, elephant numbers went from around 6,000 to almost 15,000 in 2021.
While this is great news for conservationists, it’s not seen that way by farmers who live in between two parts of the park. The human population has also expanded and this means that it affects elephants’ feeding and migration areas. This has led to conflicts between humans and elephants, sometimes resulting in elephant deaths.
Now a new solution using honeybees has been found to keep the elephants away from farms. This unlikely solution is part of a long-running project from the Save the Elephants organization. The sound of African honeybees prevents elephants. Now yellow-painted beehive (蜂巢) fences protect some of the local plots. The project is supporting 40 farmers whose crops are protected by 15 hives. Each of the hives is strung on a wire a few meters off the ground. This protects them from insects and allows them to shake if they are disturbed by an elephant, which starts the bees making sounds. This scares the elephant away.
A nine-year study monitored 26 farms that were protected by the beehive fences in two villages near the park. During the peak growing seasons — November to January from 2014 to 2020 — 3,027 elephants approached the fences and most were prevented. During the drought of 2017, which reduced the number of bees in the hives by 75 percent, elephants were still prevented 76 percent of the time.
Save the Elephants is now promoting beehive fences in 15 countries in Africa and Asia. But besides preventing elephants, the beehive fences can provide other benefits to communities. Bees provide pollination (授粉) services which can increase crop production and honey from the hives that farmers can sell to increase their income.
While this solution isn’t perfect, and is subject to the negative effects of climate change and drought, it does show that elephants and humans can share the land without conflicts.
8.What can be known from the first two paragraphs
A.Some farmers in Kenya hunt elephants for a living.
B.Kenya’s elephant conservation efforts hardly pay off.
C.The rise in elephant populations is actually a two-edged sword.
D.The expanding human population makes elephants endangered.
9.What’s the author’s main purpose in listing the figures in paragraph 4
A.To show the popularity of beehive fences.
B.To demonstrate the effectiveness of beehive fences.
C.To emphasize the large number of bees living in Africa.
D.To display the effect of climate change on the novel solution.
10.Which statement about beehive fences will the author probably agree with
A.They fail to meet the farmers’ expectations.
B.They turn out to be the original creations of local farmers.
C.They bring about economic benefits by boosting tourism.
D.They contribute to the coexistence of humans and elephants.
11.What can be the best title for the text
A.The Growth of African Elephant Population
B.The Importance of Saving African Elephants
C.Impacts of Climate Change on Elephant Habitat
D.Innovative Solution to Elephant-Human Conflict

If the findings of a bunch of new climatic researches conducted recently are any guide, we are rapidly approaching major climate change and the effects on society as well as the environment could be quite severe. Geographers have made a prediction that within the future eighty years, current world climate zones could shift and chances are that some could completely disappear. Polar regions will get colder while tropical regions will get even hotter, forcing animals to migrate north.
Climate changes like these could lead to the spread of diseases. Tropical storms and hurricanes will not only increase in numbers but in intensity as well. If the changes come too quickly, animal and plant species may not be able to adapt fast enough and could face extinction.
According to Science Daily, a new study predicts that by the year 2100, many of today’s familiar climates will be replaced by climates unknown in today’s world. It is urgent that we reduce the risks of these far-reaching consequences for the sake of the whole world. The planet earth itself has been showing signs of change, which concerns the scientific community deeply. In 2004, a serious tsunami created by a major earthquake killed thousands in Sumatra and in 2008, thousands died in China because of another severe earthquake. Egypt was hit in 2009 with a major earthquake and Haiti was devastated in 2010 by yet another massive earthquake.
Within just the last few months, new reports from around the world have been coming in and most agree that our climate situation is much worse than previously expected. At this point, it doesn’t matter what’s causing it, but rather, what can be done about it. What’s more, our world is getting more and more unstable every year. There has been war and threat of war everywhere. Natural disasters are becoming more frequent and serious.
However, astronomical observations have been showing signs that other planets are experiencing global warming as well as our own and some scientists believe there may be some connection behind such mysterious phenomena. Yet no one knows anything for sure at this point because there is simply not enough data.
12.What does the underlined word “devastated” in Paragraph 3 mean
A.shocked. B.destroyed. C.frightened. D.impacted.
13.The examples of several destructive earthquakes are used to support the idea that ______ .
A.Earthquakes have caused significant damage to the human society.
B.Measures must be taken to prevent future earthquakes from causing damage.
C.Some major changes seem to be taking place on the planet earth.
D.The probability of more earthquakes happening in the future remains strong.
14.According to the fourth paragraph, how should we react to climate change
A.We should explore the reasons for climate change.
B.We should explore possible measures to deal with it.
C.We should stop environmental pollution completely.
D.We should plan to move to other planets as soon as possible.
15.What can be inferred from the passage
A.Species won’t become extinct as long as climate change happens slowly.
B.There’s enough data at hand for us to predict the future of climate change.
C.The world is getting more unstable because of large-scale migration.
D.The earth is not alone in experiencing major climate changes currently.
