A
Pets are part of our family so it’s important to factor them in when planning a trip that you’re not taking them with you on. Pet charity Blue Cross advises planning well in advance so you know that your pet will be comfortable.
Family and friends
Leaving your pet in the care of a trusted friend or neighbour will give you peace of mind that it will be well cared for. Your pet will be able to stay with them in their home.
Things to consider if your pet is staying in another house:
· Do they have another dog or pet and will they get on with your pet
· Do they have a garden Is the garden secure so your pet can’t escape
Pet sitter
Pet sitters stay in or visit your home to look after your pet while you’re away for a fee. This is a good option which allows your pet to stay in a familiar environment and you will receive regular updates.
How to find a good pet sitter:
· Ask friends and family for recommendations for pet sitters.
· Pet sitters don’t need a license to work, but reputable ones will be able to show you training and insurance certificates.
· Check reviews online from independent review sites.
Home boarder
Home boarders are people that take pets into their own homes to look after for a fee.
How to find a good home boarder:
· Check their home has no obvious dangers, like exposed wires, toxic substances and unsecured fences.
· Your pet is invited round to get to know the home and meet the family it’ll be staying with.
· You can easily find and view their license to home board pets from the local council as well as their insurance details and training.
Boarding kennels
Kennels are an option, but it depends whether your pet is comfortable being left alone in a kennel environment around other pets.
How to find a boarding kennel:
· Get a personal recommendation, and check the kennel is licensed.
· Ask if you can visit before you book.
· Ask about insurance cover and the procedure for contacting a vet (兽医).
26. If you prefer your pet to stay in a familiar environment, you can leave it with _____.
A. a friend B. a pet sitter C. a home boarder D. a boarding kennel
27. How can one find a suitable home boarder
A. Call the insurance company.

C. Check reviews from independent review sites.
D. Invite him over to your home and meet your family.
28. Who may find this passage most useful
A A vet who desires to change his job.
B. A man who is considering adopting a dog.
C. A couple who are planning to rent a house.
D. A pet owner who will take a business trip.
B
After the deadly hurricane in October, Taylor Schenker, who lives in Canton, North Carolina, near hard-hit Asheville, went for a walk with her friend to check out the homes destroyed in the disaster.
“We spent about four hours digging through the mud, looking for any belongings we could find,” Schenker said. During the process, she found some photographs that didn’t belong to them and laid them out, hoping they could be reunited with their owners. Schenker said that thinking about the photos she had left behind kept her up that night. She was afraid that if it rained or the wind blew, the photos wouldn’t be able to be reunited with their families.
The next day, Schenker went back to collect the photos and ended up finding more — about 200 of them — containing school portraits, birthday cards, and images of childhood friends and families on vacation. She said it was clear that the photos belonged to multiple families, and she understood how special such memories could be to them.
Realizing how many important family memories she now had in her possession, she created the Photos from Helene page — a virtual lost-and-found where people could recognize and reclaim their photos. She hoped people would recognize the photos on her page and that word of mouth would help reunite them with their rightful owners.
Schenker took the photos home, cleaned them off, and organized them into folders and bins for safekeeping until they could be returned to their owners. Schenker mailed photos to people who were no longer in the area, but she also hand-delivered those that belonged to families who still lived nearby. Each reunion served as a heartwarming reminder of the importance of her work.
In one instance, Becky Tate and her daughter both recognized their photos on the online page. Tate’s daughter, Nancy, commented that her mom was in tears when they made the discovery.
“The process is definitely fulfilling,” Schenker said. “It’s enjoyable to witness the moment when a photograph is returned to its rightful owner, and to observe people in the comments mentioning each other and sharing their thoughts and saying, ‘Oh my gosh, you just reminded me of this moment in my life that I had totally forgotten about.’”
She said she chose the name for her page because most of the photos they’ve seen come out of the hurricane show the devastation (破坏) left behind—but her Photos from Helene are happy memories of Asheville and the lives there.
29. What can we know about the photos on Schenker’s page
A. They were all proof of the hurricane.
B. They were seriously damaged in the storm.
C. They were left behind by some families on purpose.
D. They were discovered in areas impacted by the hurricane.
30. Which sentence best expresses Schenker’s motivation for her page
A. “The hurricane destroyed everything in its path.”
B. “I wanted to clean the photos and keep them as memories.”
C. “I realized how important these photos must be to someone.”
D. “It was just so sad to see so many photos spread and damaged.”
31. Why were Schenker’s actions important after the hurricane
A. They gave comfort to those affected.
B. They inspired others to volunteer and help.
C. They provided supplies to families in need.
D. They raised awareness of survivors’struggles.
32. Which of the following words can best describe Schenker
A. Curious. B. Caring. C. Ambitious. D. Adventurous.
C
People do not always expect us to succeed. In light of this, what happens when we think that others expect us to fail
In one study, researchers carried out an experiment with 330 online workers, asking them to do a computer task that involved clicking on rapidly moving targets. They were told that someone was observing their performance. After they completed a 15-second practice, they received one of three messages — stating underdog expectations, high expectations, or neutral expectations — from the observer; unknown to them, the expectations were randomly (随机地) given to them. Participants then performed the task, which required both effort and focus to do effectively. Researchers found that those who experienced underdog expectations performed better than those who received high or neutral expectations.
To find out why underdog expectations lead people to perform better, researchers ran another experiment with 156 business students, having them complete a negotiations simulation (模拟谈判). Before they started negotiating, they were told that experts made predictions on their possibility of negotiating effectively. Once again, researchers randomly gave them either underdog, high, or neutral expectations. After the negotiation, the students were asked questions about their desire to prove others wrong, their self-confidence, and their assertiveness (魄力).
Like with earlier studies, those who experienced underdog expectations performed the best. In addition, instead of having greater self-confidence or being more assertive, the desire to prove others wrong was what helped researchers understand why those experiencing underdog expectations performed better.
Of course, underdog expectations do not always translate to success. There are many more examples of people failing to overcome the low expectations others set for them. So, when does being an underdog lead to success rather than failure
Researchers reran the computer task of clicking on a target, but this time was a bit different: before participants received randomly given underdog, high, or neutral expectations, they were also randomly given information about the observer’s credibility (可信度). Specifically, participants in the high credibility condition read that the observer was a high performer in the same task and had an excellent record of predicting others’ performance. In the low credibility condition, participants read that the observer was a poor performer and was often incorrect about others’ performance.
Researchers found that underdog expectations from both less and more credible observers motivated (激励) participants to aim to prove others wrong. But this motivation only translated to better performance in the face of less credible observers while it failed when it came from more credible observers. It appears that trying to prove highly credible people wrong may have developed a sense of anxiety, which undermined later performance. Quite the opposite, people experiencing underdog expectations from less credible observers were able to use the desire to prove others wrong and perform successfully.
Do these results mean leaders should set low expectations for their team to try to improve performance Of course not. But they do suggest that more people can achieve success when they think others view them as underdogs.
33. The second experiment was intended to find out ________.
A. whether experts’ predictions matched the performance of the students.
B. how researchers should present participants with different expectations.
C. what was behind the improved performance of “underdog” participants.
D. who would fail to overcome low expectations set before the negotiation.
34. What can we learn from the passage
A. Different expectations were given based on participants’ assertiveness.
B. Underdogs tend to outperform expectations in a low credibility condition.
C. Self-confidence plays an important role in determining a person’s success.
D. Participants were motivated to perform better when they trusted observers.
35. What does the word “undermined” underlined in Paragraph 7 probably mean
A. Weakened. B. Destroyed. C. Motivated. D. Translated.
36. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To present research findings about what causes underdog expectations.
B. To compare the effects of underdog, high, and neutral expectations.
C. To show how underdog expectations influence performance.
D. To analyze when underdog expectations can lead to success.
D
The 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for machine learning development and the Chemistry Nobel was for protein structure prediction via AI. Some said the physics prize wasn’t really physics. “AI is coming for science, too,” the New York Times concluded. With powerful large language models, AIs can generate various outputs and even make Nobel-winning discoveries. But have AIs really taken over science
To begin with, the physics prize went to Hinton and John Hopfield, a physicist, who discovered how the physical dynamics of a network can encode memory. Hopfield came up with an intuitive analogy: a ball, rolling across a bumpy landscape, will often “remember” to return to the same lowest valley. Hinton’s work extended Hopfield’s model. In short, the Physics Nobel was awarded for fundamental research about the physical principles of information, not the broad umbrella of “AI” and its applications.
Meanwhile, the Chemistry Nobel was awarded to biochemist David Baker and DeepMind researchers Demis Hassabis and John Jumper. Baker first developed software to design novel protein structures from scratch. Yet by 2018, of the roughly 200 million proteins cataloged in all genetic databases, only about 150,000 had confirmed structures. Then Hassabis and Jumper introduced AlphaFold, which provided accurate folding structures for the rest. But even so, the Al has failed to predict defects in proteins. It’s not a catholicon for every problem in protein folding, but rather an excellent tool.
Many of these tools have disappeared into their uses. We rarely pause to consider the transistor (晶体管) (for which the 1956 physics prize was awarded) when we use electronics containing them by the billions. Some powerful machine-learning features are already on this path. The neural networks that provide accurate language translation or song recommendations in popular consumer software programs are simply part of the service. In science, as in so many other domains, this trend suggests that when AI tools become commonplace, they will fade into the background, too.
Still a reasonable concern might be that such automation threatens the efforts of human scientists. As AI becomes essential to further scientific progress, will any prizes recognize work truly free of AI
AI can revolutionize science. It has already helped us see proteins with previously unimaginable clarity. Soon AIs may dream up new molecules for batteries. In short, they may do many things, some of which previously seemed impossible. But they have a crucial limitation tied to something wonderful about science: its empirical dependence on the real world, which cannot be overcome by computation alone.
Science also needs experimenters — human experts driven to study the universe, and who will ask questions an AI cannot. Physics — its core ethos is “that the world is understandable” in quantitative, predictive terms solely by careful experiment and observation. That real world still exists for future scientists to study, whether aided by AI or not.
37. Regarding the Nobel Prize in Physics, the author might think__________.
A. it should have been awarded to more physicists
B. it is justified for its focus on physical principles of information
C. it aims to encourage physicists to engage in AI research
D. it is a recognition of the broad applications of AI in physics
38. What can we learn from this passage
A. AI tools are restricted to specific scientific branches.
B. AI will overcome its dependence on real-world experience.
C. AI poses a threat on traditional methods of scientific inquiry.
D. AI tools will become less noticeable once widely used.
39. What would be the best title for this passage
A. Is AI Coming to End Scientific Exploration
B. AI and Science: Revolution or Evolution
C. AI and Science: A New Era of Collaboration
D. Is AI Dominant in Nobel-Winning Discoveries

Considering they are the world’s most numerous areas of water, it is surprising that ponds are poorly understood. There are millions — possibly billions — of them. ____40____
This neglect might not have mattered if it were not for increasing evidence that ponds are extremely important habitats for wildlife as they have rich, diverse and distinctive communities with varied rare and endangered species. Across many landscapes, they are being shown to support far greater variation of species than rivers and streams. ____41____ It allows them to have a wider range of conditions compared with rivers and streams where flowing water tends to homogenise (同质化) water chemistry.
So why have we failed to notice such a vital part of the natural world A key reason appears to be what freshwater scientist John Downing has called “a saliency error”: the misjudgment where we humans naturally assume that if something is small, it can’t be all that important. ____42____ We don’t realise that these waters have a deeply ancient origin and have existed on Earth as long as there has been land and water.
These misunderstandings within freshwater science have had a big impact on our ability to protect their wildlife. In Europe, for example, the Water Framework Directive mostly excludes any bodies of water smaller than 50 hectares.
____43____ Last year, the Ramsar Convention, an international agreement, introduced a resolution on small wetlands, including ponds, giving crucial recognition to them. And the European Union-funded PONDERFUL project is gathering data on Europe’s ponds. However, there remains much to do. As the effects of climate change deepen, plants and animals will increasingly need to move across the landscape to survive. ____44____ They are easy to make and they colonize rapidly, which can help freshwater species adapt over short timescales.
A. Viewpoints are changing, fortunately, to the benefit of ponds.
B. This biodiversity seems to be partly due to the small size of ponds.
C. A study shows they make up much of the global water environment.
D. Yet for a century or so, scientists have paid them very little attention.
E. We can create ponds in considerable numbers as one of the few habitats.
F There is increasing evidence of the importance of ponds for biodiversity.
G. Most of us also devalued ponds because we regard them as artificial habitats.

【49题答案】
【答案】Dear Jim,
I’m glad to hear about your activity. Here are my suggestions.
First, you can have a lecture on natural disasters. It will help students learn about different types of disasters and how to respond to them. Second, organize a simulation drill. For example, a fire drill or an earthquake drill. This can help students practice what they have learned. Third, you can set up a booth where students can get safety kits. These kits can include things like flashlights, first-aid supplies, and emergency food.
I think these activities are useful because they combine knowledge and practice. They can help students be better prepared for emergencies. Hope my suggestions are helpful.
Yours,
Li Hua

A
Pets are part of our family so it’s important to factor them in when planning a trip that you’re not taking them with you on. Pet charity Blue Cross advises planning well in advance so you know that your pet will be comfortable.
Family and friends
Leaving your pet in the care of a trusted friend or neighbour will give you peace of mind that it will be well cared for. Your pet will be able to stay with them in their home.
Things to consider if your pet is staying in another house:
· Do they have another dog or pet and will they get on with your pet
· Do they have a garden Is the garden secure so your pet can’t escape
Pet sitter
Pet sitters stay in or visit your home to look after your pet while you’re away for a fee. This is a good option which allows your pet to stay in a familiar environment and you will receive regular updates.
How to find a good pet sitter:
· Ask friends and family for recommendations for pet sitters.
· Pet sitters don’t need a license to work, but reputable ones will be able to show you training and insurance certificates.
· Check reviews online from independent review sites.
Home boarder
Home boarders are people that take pets into their own homes to look after for a fee.
How to find a good home boarder:
· Check their home has no obvious dangers, like exposed wires, toxic substances and unsecured fences.
· Your pet is invited round to get to know the home and meet the family it’ll be staying with.
· You can easily find and view their license to home board pets from the local council as well as their insurance details and training.
Boarding kennels
Kennels are an option, but it depends whether your pet is comfortable being left alone in a kennel environment around other pets.
How to find a boarding kennel:
· Get a personal recommendation, and check the kennel is licensed.
· Ask if you can visit before you book.
· Ask about insurance cover and the procedure for contacting a vet (兽医).
26. If you prefer your pet to stay in a familiar environment, you can leave it with _____.
A. a friend B. a pet sitter C. a home boarder D. a boarding kennel
27. How can one find a suitable home boarder
A. Call the insurance company.
B. Check the license from the local council.
C. Check reviews from independent review sites.
D. Invite him over to your home and meet your family.
28. Who may find this passage most useful
A A vet who desires to change his job.
B. A man who is considering adopting a dog.
C. A couple who are planning to rent a house.
D. A pet owner who will take a business trip.
B
After the deadly hurricane in October, Taylor Schenker, who lives in Canton, North Carolina, near hard-hit Asheville, went for a walk with her friend to check out the homes destroyed in the disaster.
“We spent about four hours digging through the mud, looking for any belongings we could find,” Schenker said. During the process, she found some photographs that didn’t belong to them and laid them out, hoping they could be reunited with their owners. Schenker said that thinking about the photos she had left behind kept her up that night. She was afraid that if it rained or the wind blew, the photos wouldn’t be able to be reunited with their families.
The next day, Schenker went back to collect the photos and ended up finding more — about 200 of them — containing school portraits, birthday cards, and images of childhood friends and families on vacation. She said it was clear that the photos belonged to multiple families, and she understood how special such memories could be to them.
Realizing how many important family memories she now had in her possession, she created the Photos from Helene page — a virtual lost-and-found where people could recognize and reclaim their photos. She hoped people would recognize the photos on her page and that word of mouth would help reunite them with their rightful owners.
Schenker took the photos home, cleaned them off, and organized them into folders and bins for safekeeping until they could be returned to their owners. Schenker mailed photos to people who were no longer in the area, but she also hand-delivered those that belonged to families who still lived nearby. Each reunion served as a heartwarming reminder of the importance of her work.
In one instance, Becky Tate and her daughter both recognized their photos on the online page. Tate’s daughter, Nancy, commented that her mom was in tears when they made the discovery.
“The process is definitely fulfilling,” Schenker said. “It’s enjoyable to witness the moment when a photograph is returned to its rightful owner, and to observe people in the comments mentioning each other and sharing their thoughts and saying, ‘Oh my gosh, you just reminded me of this moment in my life that I had totally forgotten about.’”
She said she chose the name for her page because most of the photos they’ve seen come out of the hurricane show the devastation (破坏) left behind—but her Photos from Helene are happy memories of Asheville and the lives there.
29. What can we know about the photos on Schenker’s page
A. They were all proof of the hurricane.
B. They were seriously damaged in the storm.
C. They were left behind by some families on purpose.
D. They were discovered in areas impacted by the hurricane.
30. Which sentence best expresses Schenker’s motivation for her page
A. “The hurricane destroyed everything in its path.”
B. “I wanted to clean the photos and keep them as memories.”
C. “I realized how important these photos must be to someone.”
D. “It was just so sad to see so many photos spread and damaged.”
31. Why were Schenker’s actions important after the hurricane
A. They gave comfort to those affected.
B. They inspired others to volunteer and help.
C. They provided supplies to families in need.
D. They raised awareness of survivors’struggles.
32. Which of the following words can best describe Schenker
A. Curious. B. Caring. C. Ambitious. D. Adventurous.
C
People do not always expect us to succeed. In light of this, what happens when we think that others expect us to fail
In one study, researchers carried out an experiment with 330 online workers, asking them to do a computer task that involved clicking on rapidly moving targets. They were told that someone was observing their performance. After they completed a 15-second practice, they received one of three messages — stating underdog expectations, high expectations, or neutral expectations — from the observer; unknown to them, the expectations were randomly (随机地) given to them. Participants then performed the task, which required both effort and focus to do effectively. Researchers found that those who experienced underdog expectations performed better than those who received high or neutral expectations.
To find out why underdog expectations lead people to perform better, researchers ran another experiment with 156 business students, having them complete a negotiations simulation (模拟谈判). Before they started negotiating, they were told that experts made predictions on their possibility of negotiating effectively. Once again, researchers randomly gave them either underdog, high, or neutral expectations. After the negotiation, the students were asked questions about their desire to prove others wrong, their self-confidence, and their assertiveness (魄力).
Like with earlier studies, those who experienced underdog expectations performed the best. In addition, instead of having greater self-confidence or being more assertive, the desire to prove others wrong was what helped researchers understand why those experiencing underdog expectations performed better.
Of course, underdog expectations do not always translate to success. There are many more examples of people failing to overcome the low expectations others set for them. So, when does being an underdog lead to success rather than failure
Researchers reran the computer task of clicking on a target, but this time was a bit different: before participants received randomly given underdog, high, or neutral expectations, they were also randomly given information about the observer’s credibility (可信度). Specifically, participants in the high credibility condition read that the observer was a high performer in the same task and had an excellent record of predicting others’ performance. In the low credibility condition, participants read that the observer was a poor performer and was often incorrect about others’ performance.
Researchers found that underdog expectations from both less and more credible observers motivated (激励) participants to aim to prove others wrong. But this motivation only translated to better performance in the face of less credible observers while it failed when it came from more credible observers. It appears that trying to prove highly credible people wrong may have developed a sense of anxiety, which undermined later performance. Quite the opposite, people experiencing underdog expectations from less credible observers were able to use the desire to prove others wrong and perform successfully.
Do these results mean leaders should set low expectations for their team to try to improve performance Of course not. But they do suggest that more people can achieve success when they think others view them as underdogs.
33. The second experiment was intended to find out ________.
A. whether experts’ predictions matched the performance of the students.
B. how researchers should present participants with different expectations.
C. what was behind the improved performance of “underdog” participants.
D. who would fail to overcome low expectations set before the negotiation.
34. What can we learn from the passage
A. Different expectations were given based on participants’ assertiveness.
B. Underdogs tend to outperform expectations in a low credibility condition.
C. Self-confidence plays an important role in determining a person’s success.
D. Participants were motivated to perform better when they trusted observers.
35. What does the word “undermined” underlined in Paragraph 7 probably mean
A. Weakened. B. Destroyed. C. Motivated. D. Translated.
36. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To present research findings about what causes underdog expectations.
B. To compare the effects of underdog, high, and neutral expectations.
C. To show how underdog expectations influence performance.
D. To analyze when underdog expectations can lead to success.
D
The 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for machine learning development and the Chemistry Nobel was for protein structure prediction via AI. Some said the physics prize wasn’t really physics. “AI is coming for science, too,” the New York Times concluded. With powerful large language models, AIs can generate various outputs and even make Nobel-winning discoveries. But have AIs really taken over science
To begin with, the physics prize went to Hinton and John Hopfield, a physicist, who discovered how the physical dynamics of a network can encode memory. Hopfield came up with an intuitive analogy: a ball, rolling across a bumpy landscape, will often “remember” to return to the same lowest valley. Hinton’s work extended Hopfield’s model. In short, the Physics Nobel was awarded for fundamental research about the physical principles of information, not the broad umbrella of “AI” and its applications.
Meanwhile, the Chemistry Nobel was awarded to biochemist David Baker and DeepMind researchers Demis Hassabis and John Jumper. Baker first developed software to design novel protein structures from scratch. Yet by 2018, of the roughly 200 million proteins cataloged in all genetic databases, only about 150,000 had confirmed structures. Then Hassabis and Jumper introduced AlphaFold, which provided accurate folding structures for the rest. But even so, the Al has failed to predict defects in proteins. It’s not a catholicon for every problem in protein folding, but rather an excellent tool.
Many of these tools have disappeared into their uses. We rarely pause to consider the transistor (晶体管) (for which the 1956 physics prize was awarded) when we use electronics containing them by the billions. Some powerful machine-learning features are already on this path. The neural networks that provide accurate language translation or song recommendations in popular consumer software programs are simply part of the service. In science, as in so many other domains, this trend suggests that when AI tools become commonplace, they will fade into the background, too.
Still a reasonable concern might be that such automation threatens the efforts of human scientists. As AI becomes essential to further scientific progress, will any prizes recognize work truly free of AI
AI can revolutionize science. It has already helped us see proteins with previously unimaginable clarity. Soon AIs may dream up new molecules for batteries. In short, they may do many things, some of which previously seemed impossible. But they have a crucial limitation tied to something wonderful about science: its empirical dependence on the real world, which cannot be overcome by computation alone.
Science also needs experimenters — human experts driven to study the universe, and who will ask questions an AI cannot. Physics — its core ethos is “that the world is understandable” in quantitative, predictive terms solely by careful experiment and observation. That real world still exists for future scientists to study, whether aided by AI or not.
37. Regarding the Nobel Prize in Physics, the author might think__________.
A. it should have been awarded to more physicists
B. it is justified for its focus on physical principles of information
C. it aims to encourage physicists to engage in AI research
D. it is a recognition of the broad applications of AI in physics
38. What can we learn from this passage
A. AI tools are restricted to specific scientific branches.
B. AI will overcome its dependence on real-world experience.
C. AI poses a threat on traditional methods of scientific inquiry.
D. AI tools will become less noticeable once widely used.
39. What would be the best title for this passage
A. Is AI Coming to End Scientific Exploration
B. AI and Science: Revolution or Evolution
C. AI and Science: A New Era of Collaboration
D. Is AI Dominant in Nobel-Winning Discoveries

Considering they are the world’s most numerous areas of water, it is surprising that ponds are poorly understood. There are millions — possibly billions — of them. ____40____
This neglect might not have mattered if it were not for increasing evidence that ponds are extremely important habitats for wildlife as they have rich, diverse and distinctive communities with varied rare and endangered species. Across many landscapes, they are being shown to support far greater variation of species than rivers and streams. ____41____ It allows them to have a wider range of conditions compared with rivers and streams where flowing water tends to homogenise (同质化) water chemistry.
So why have we failed to notice such a vital part of the natural world A key reason appears to be what freshwater scientist John Downing has called “a saliency error”: the misjudgment where we humans naturally assume that if something is small, it can’t be all that important. ____42____ We don’t realise that these waters have a deeply ancient origin and have existed on Earth as long as there has been land and water.
These misunderstandings within freshwater science have had a big impact on our ability to protect their wildlife. In Europe, for example, the Water Framework Directive mostly excludes any bodies of water smaller than 50 hectares.
____43____ Last year, the Ramsar Convention, an international agreement, introduced a resolution on small wetlands, including ponds, giving crucial recognition to them. And the European Union-funded PONDERFUL project is gathering data on Europe’s ponds. However, there remains much to do. As the effects of climate change deepen, plants and animals will increasingly need to move across the landscape to survive. ____44____ They are easy to make and they colonize rapidly, which can help freshwater species adapt over short timescales.
A. Viewpoints are changing, fortunately, to the benefit of ponds.
B. This biodiversity seems to be partly due to the small size of ponds.
C. A study shows they make up much of the global water environment.
D. Yet for a century or so, scientists have paid them very little attention.
E. We can create ponds in considerable numbers as one of the few habitats.
F There is increasing evidence of the importance of ponds for biodiversity.
G. Most of us also devalued ponds because we regard them as artificial habitats.

Adilah was 10 years old when she started reading newspaper stories. One story was about sharks. They had plastic in their stomachs. Adilah knew she needed to do something. First, she joined a group. It organized clean-up activities in Dubai, her home city. “The group helps me understand what a person can do and how I can really make a difference.” she says.
Then Adilah created Kids for a Better World. Its goal is to fight climate change. It has brought together nearly 10, 000 youths. They come from all over the world. Kids for a Better World is for people aged 8 to 16. It teaches them about what they can do to deal with climate change. They can grow food or plant trees. They can collect recyclables. “This is the information which can help change our future.” Adilah says.
Dubai is a desert big city. Growing up there has made Adilah understand the need for action. Her city faces the risks of rising temperatures and less water supply. She believes young people can bring attention to these environmental challenges.
Adilah is all about small actions. But she has big plans. She’d like to go to college in California. While she’s there, she’ll continue being an activist. She will also be running Kids for a Better World. She hopes to encourage others to fight for a greener planet.

【49题答案】
【答案】Dear Jim,
I’m glad to hear about your activity. Here are my suggestions.
First, you can have a lecture on natural disasters. It will help students learn about different types of disasters and how to respond to them. Second, organize a simulation drill. For example, a fire drill or an earthquake drill. This can help students practice what they have learned. Third, you can set up a booth where students can get safety kits. These kits can include things like flashlights, first-aid supplies, and emergency food.
I think these activities are useful because they combine knowledge and practice. They can help students be better prepared for emergencies. Hope my suggestions are helpful.
Yours,
Li Hua
