Top Coffee-producing Countries
Brazil
Back in the 18th century, Brazil started growing coffee. Now, around 300,000 coffee farmers in Brazil
produce about 40% of the world’s coffee. Arabica takes up 70% of the coffee beans grown in the country. In
Brazil, 3% of export income is from coffee beans. Brazilians are wild about drinking their coffee and consume it
all day long.
Vietnam
Coffee found its way to Vietnam in the 1800s. Now coffee industry employs almost 3 million people. Most of
Vietnam’s coffee production is the less appreciated Robusta variety. Because of that, most coffee beans grown in
Vietnam are for instant coffee. Despite coffee’s popularity as an export crop, the Vietnamese still prefer tea. They
also make a famous Cappuccino not found elsewhere—famous because it gets a dose of raw egg if that’s to your
liking.
Colombia
Coffee was introduced into Colombia in the early 1700s. In Colombia, about 2.3 million acres of land are
planted with coffee. Coffee is the most important agricultural export. There are around 555,000 coffee growers in
Colombia. The majority of Colombian coffee plantations are owned by families. Colombians typically start their
morning with a tinto. It’s a small cup of black coffee that’s sweetened with sugar. They may add cinnamon or
other spices to jazz it up.
Indonesia
Indonesia has a long coffee history that goes back to the 1600s, which has its share of ups and downs. In the
late 19th century, the terrible coffee rust disease caused death to many of the high-quality coffee plants. To prevent
this from happening again, Indonesia replanted with the disease-resistant Robusta coffee. Arabica beans still play
a part in the Indonesian coffee market, representing about 25% of coffee beans grown there.
21. Which of the four countries started growing coffee earliest
A. Brazil. B. Vietnam. C. Colombia. D. Indonesia.
22. What is special about the coffee production in Vietnam
A. A unique kind of coffee drink is made there.
B. High-quality coffee beans are produced there.
C. Coffee is produced mainly for the home market.
D. Coffee planting met with problems in the 1990s.
23. What do Brazil and Colombia have in common
A. They both have a coffee-loving population.
B. Coffee exports are growing in both countries.
C. They share the same number of coffee growers.
D. Coffee farms are owned by families in both countries.

I was recently invited to head up north for a preview of Dundreggan Rewilding Center, which will fully open to
the public soon. Those who make it along for the opening weekend will be able to enjoy free events, including
guided walks, tours of the tree nursery, storytelling sessions, plenty of fun for kids, and activities led by naturalist
Nick Baker and expert in tracks and signs, Dan Puplett.
We looked around the new architect-designed center. The building has a number of sustainable features,
including solar panels and reclaimed wood furniture in the café area. This is one of two new buildings, the other of
which is said to offer accessible accommodation for those who wish to come for a longer rewilding experience.
Entering the building, the first thing that we saw was a sculpture—the work of local artist Helen Denerley. The
sculpture depicts a tree with many native animals within it, made from reclaimed metal. From here, we saw the other
areas—classrooms, event spaces, the café and lively information panels throughout, giving information about
rewilding, the interconnectedness of forest ecosystems, local wildlife, and more.
As our guide so rightly pointed out, the building is just the jumping-off point—the place from which people can
branch out to discover so much more on a series of accessible trails and more adventurous hikes in the surrounding
landscape.
One key focus for this project is definitely community, as well as rewilding. It celebrates local Gaelic heritage
and history as well as wildlife, woodlands, and natural wonders. Speaking briefly with two friendly and welcoming
employees working in the café who were among the 20 locals who have new jobs thanks to the project, their
enthusiasm for the new center and excitement to be involved in getting it off the ground shone through.
24. What did the author do at Dundreggan
A. She toured a new building.
B. She held storytelling sessions.
C. She joined a naturalist-led activity.
D. She attended an opening celebration.
25. What features does the rewilding center highlight
A. Wildness and adventure.
B. Accessibility and simplicity.
C. Efficiency and attractiveness.
D. Sustainability and instructiveness.
26. What conclusion can we draw about the guide
A. He believed the project could inspire more actions.
B. He was enthusiastic about protecting native animals.
C. He advocated more informed decisions about rewilding.
D. He showed concern over developing the surrounding landscapes.
27. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. The prospect of the project.
B. The significance of the project.
C. The working principle of the project.
D. The recent achievements of the project.

At 6 a.m. in an English village, hundreds of pinkish white sows are waking up for breakfast. But first, they have
to get their pictures taken. As each pig squeezes into her feeding area, a tiny camera snaps a photo of her face. And
in less than 1 second, an artificial intelligence system identifies her based on facial features. Armed with that
information, the system orders a customized meal to shoot into the trough (食槽).
Meanwhile, the system continues to analyze her photo, looking for negative signs in her facial expression that
she might be in pain, sick, or in emotional distress. If it finds any, it sends an immediate alert to the farmer—the guy
enjoying a morning coffee over in the next room.
These hungry piggies are the testers of Intellipig, a system being developed by scientists to deal with a
fundamental problem in animal welfare: we human beings are just not the best at understanding how animals are
feeling.
Tools like Intellipig could usher in (开启) a new era of caring for animals that gives higher priority to their
health, welfare, and protection, says Melvyn Smith, an engineer leading the design of the Intellipig system. There
are indications that they could go even further. Eventually, AI might even outshine humans in interpreting a range of
more complex emotions like happiness, frustration, or fear, he says—feelings that are equally important to
understand if we are to give animals the best possible lives.
But like most scientists considering the powers of AI, animal behavior researchers worry about putting too
much stock in machines, especially when animal welfare is at risk. “Maybe a machine will end up being better than
us; I don’t know,” says Emma Baxter, an animal behavior scientist. “I hope there’s room for experts, to make sure
that the AI is actually doing what it says it is.”
28. What can the Intellipig system do automatically
A. Monitor pigs’ well-being.
B. Clean pigs’ living spaces.
C. Deliver medical services to pigs.
D. Provide standardized diets for pigs.
29. What is Melvyn Smith’s attitude towards AI’s role in animal care
A. Objective. B. Skeptical. C. Cautious. D. Positive.
30. What approach does Emma Baxter support when it comes to AI and animal care
A. Banning the use of AI.
B. Restricting AI to basic tasks.
C. Keeping professionals involved.
D. Minimizing human intervention.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. Intellipig: AI Provides 24/7 Animal Care
B. Intellipig: AI Can Understand Animal Speech
C. Intellipig: AI Replaces Farmers in Animal Care
D. Intellipig: AI Assists in Detecting Animal Emotions

Recently, the growing eyebrow blindness has caused many TikTok users to complain on the platform: Are
makeup enthusiasts able to tell if they’ re blindly chasing makeup trends or actually wearing what really looks good
on their faces. While “eyebrow blindness” and other forms of “beauty blindness” aren’t officially regarded as
mental health issues, the tendency of people to follow trends, even making them look foolish or taking risks, is
undeniably a real thing.
So, what does psychology say about trend-following Following trends isn’t an indication of a weak character
or a mental health problem, says psychologist Pamela Rutledge; it’s completely normal. The root of that lies in
humans’ fundamental need of social connections. Multiple psychological theories indicate that human social
connections are as crucial as basic necessities like food and shelter, as humans have evolved to depend on one
another for survival.
But why do trends hold such a strong pull “Our brains are programmed to notice the unusual,” Rutledge
explains. Consequently, we pay attention to those who stand out and attract attention, making trends even more
enticing for those brave enough to embrace them.
No one is immune to following fashions, noticing trends, or demonstrating their real belonging to social groups.
However, there is one specific group that is even easier to following trends, even risky ones: Tweens, teens and
young adults. As children begin to move towards adult independence, they seek ways to express their individuality.
This can sometimes lead to desperate efforts to prove their affiliation (从属关系) with socially credible groups and
can fuel desire to stand out by riding the wave of trends.
So, next time you do makeup, get dressed, order food in public, or buy a car, bear in mind that your decision
might not be as personalized as you think. “It’s essentially an inborn response, which can be explained by our need
to fit in with or stand out from the crowd,” says Pamela.
32. Why is “eyebrow blindness” mentioned
A. It illustrates a kind of makeup.
B. It contrasts with “beauty blindness”.
C. It brings out the text’s core argument.
D. It highlights the importance of beauty.
33. What does the underlined word “enticing” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. Important. B. Demanding. C. Appealing. D. Dangerous.
34. Why are youngsters more likely to follow trends
A. They are always seeking adventures.
B. They tend to show their social status.
C. They are easily affected by social pressure.
D. They pursue uniqueness and social recognition.
35. What does Pamela emphasize in the end
A. Social groups decide our behavior.
B. Tweens and teens are trend-setters.
C. Individuality stands out above trends.
D. Trend-following is a natural behavior.

Aesthetic (审美) education aims to enhance aesthetic perception, experience aesthetic qualities, stimulate
aesthetic creativity, and promote aesthetic judgement.
In order for kids to be able to appreciate natural wonders, shapes and pictures, they must be able to first
notice them. This is why the development of the ability to notice the beautiful is the primary task of aesthetic
education. 36 Kids are incapable of noticing particular shapes if their ability to notice objects and forms is
undeveloped. The aesthetic relationship begins with the noticing of aesthetic qualities.
37 This means that they generate emotional responses like excitement and joy, enriching individuals’
emotional lives and inspiring artistic expression. The ability to experience aesthetics must also be developed. The
cognitive (认知的) elements of the processes that we experience during noticing must also include emotional
tones with which we form impressions. 38 In a word, the aim of aesthetic education is, with the aid of
aesthetic qualities, to enrich the emotional life of children and young people and the development of a sense for
aesthetic values.
It is essential to allow children to participate in activities that will develop their creative abilities. 39
Instead, it is about creativity in the creation of aesthetic values in everyday life. We are not simply born with
creative abilities which have to be developed.
Judging or evaluating aesthetic qualities demands formed evaluation criteria. In order for beauty to reveal its
true value, we must be familiar with its particularities. Throughout the process of aesthetic education, various
types of knowledge, abilities and evaluation criteria must be applied. 40
A. Aesthetic qualities have to be felt.
B. Beauty can be found all around us.
C. The beautiful will be likely to be created.
D. And it is these that the aesthetic experience is built upon.
E. In some way, this is the ability to perceive aesthetic qualities.
F. This way, the child will develop the foundations for assessing the beautiful.
G. This is not so much about creating aesthetic abilities in the sense of training artists.

I grew up in poverty, and that was pretty obvious to all my teachers. In Grade 8, I won a contest for 41 the

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。
The day before yesterday, my class played a basketball game. As their chemistry teacher and class advisor, I
watched as our team, led by the captain, Curry, fought hard. Curry’s quick moves and precise passes inspired his
teammates. They battled as one, making every play count. The game was intense, with both teams neck and neck.
In the final seconds, Curry made a daring drive to the hoop (篮筐), but the opponent scored a last-minute shot. We
lost by just one point.
The next morning, the classroom was filled with a heavy atmosphere. Curry sat quietly, his head down, still
weighed down by the loss. The rest of the class mirrored his mood—silent and withdrawn. It was clear that the
defeat had dampened their spirits. I knew I had to do something to lift their spirits and remind them to pay more
attention to the process.
The first class of the day was chemistry. As I looked at the lesson plan quickly, an idea began to take shape. I
quickly prepared the necessary laboratory equipment and walked into the classroom.
“Alright, everyone,” I said, trying to get their attention. “I’m going to conduct an experiment, and I want you
to observe it carefully. You’ll need to describe what you see afterward.” The room grew a little quieter as curiosity
began to catch on. They turned their attention to me, and I could see a sign of interest in their eyes.
I picked up a piece of magnesium ribbon (镁条) and held it with a holder. When I brought it close to the
burner fire, the ribbon started to flash. The whole class watched the experiment in amazement, leaving their eyes
wide open, focusing on my operation in awe. The magnesium ribbon burned away, leaving behind a soft white
powder.
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。
“What impressed you most in the experiment ” I asked.
With my encouragement, Curry opened up and shared more.
