It started back in 2018 when Captain Brandon Upton was out in the gulf waters during a particularly cold afternoon, and he saw a dark shadow floating nearby. As the owner and operator of Sea Tow, a boating assistance company, Upton realized to his shock that they were sea turtles.
“I didn’t touch it, because I know they are endangered and protected,” Upton told the media. “On my way in, I saw more and more sea turtles and was very confused. In all my years on the water, I had never seen anything like it.” Rather than take any actions himself, Upton did the right thing and contacted the animal authorities—in this case, the experts at San Padre Island National Seashore, who explained the turtles had been cold-stunned.
Cold-stunning is a normal event in which the cold-blooded turtles fall into a still state if the seawater temperatures fall below 56°F. Their heart rate and metabolism (新陈代谢) drop sharply, and they float, unable to move. This puts them at risk for boat accidents, drowning, and even land animals that hunt them if the tide and waves should take them onto the beach.
Every winter since then, Upton has remained watchful for possible cold-stunning events. If the water temperatures start to fall too low, Upton will bring an air-boat to pull alongside him, into which he will place any sea turtles he finds. San Padre Island workers receive these cold-stunned animals and place them in a recovery center where their bodies are slowly warmed up to the temperatures needed to restart their systems. Then they’re released.
Upton described his 7 years of free help as “only natural” since he carries a lot of special equipment that makes rescuing turtles easy and is a proud part of the close boating community. He’s an animal lover as well, and whether it’s “taking a spider outside” or helping cold-stunned turtles, he considers them all like a second family.
24.Why did Upton contact the animal authorities
A.He lacked the necessary equipment. B.He feared of being punished by law.
C.He needed to seek professional help. D.He wanted to draw the media’s attention.
25.What’s the purpose of paragraph 3
A.To describe sea turtles’ winter habit. B.To explain cold-stunning and its dangers.
C.To show the importance of temperature. D.To criticize the harm of human activities.
26.Why are the turtles put in a recovery center
A.To do experiments. B.To ensure their survival.
C.To provide a home. D.To set them free.
27.Which of the following can best describe Upton
A.Devoted and caring. B.Talented and curious.
C.Ambitious and honest. D.Creative and determined.
According to a landmark study published today in the journal Science, butterfly numbers across the U. S. have dropped by 22% between 2000 and 2020. Researchers analyzed data from 35 monitoring programs tracking 554 species at nearly 2, 500 locations. “This is a wake-up call. People should be seeing this number and being very, very concerned, not just about butterflies, but about the state of insects in general.” says Eliza Grames, a conservation biologist (保护生物学家) at Binghamton University in New York and co-author of the study.
The findings show over 100 species lost half their population, including 22 that decreased by 90% or more. Even common butterflies like the West Virginia white were struggling. Decreases were strongest in the Southwest, while the Pacific Northwest showed smaller losses. However, the study might not show the full picture. Scientists only had enough data to study half of U. S. butterfly species. Grames explained that unstudied species might be in worse condition since they are harder to observe.
“This isn’t just about butterflies — it’s a warning sign for the overall biodiversity crisis (生物多样性危机),” says Grames. Insect populations worldwide are decreasing 1—2% yearly due to similar threats. Birds and other animals relying on insects for food face growing risks.
Many factors lead to butterfly losses including habitat loss, climate change and pesticide (杀虫剂) use. While solving these problems requires big society efforts, each of us can help. Grames says, “Because insects can have one to three generations per year, even small changes to the environment — such as planting native flowers or creating habitats — can ensure a pretty immediate increase in population.”
Of course, participating in butterfly monitoring programs in community is another way to make a difference. “I think butterflies do have the ability to recover fast, if we put the effort into conservation actions.” says Grames.
28.What does the text suggest about unstudied butterfly species
A.They are less influenced by pesticides. B.Their situations might be more serious.
C.Current monitoring programs are ineffective. D.Butterflies are harder to track than other insects.
29.What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A.Pesticides are the primary threat. B.Habitat loss drives butterfly decrease.
C.Global solutions outweigh individual actions. D.Ordinary people can improve butterfly populations.
30.What is Dr. Grames’ attitude toward butterfly protection efforts
A.Hopeful. B.Doubtful. C.Concerned. D.Uninterested.
31.Which can be a suitable title for the text
A.Plant Native Flowers to Help Insects B.Southwest Butterflies Disappear Fastest
C.Butterfly Monitoring Programs May Help D.Butterfly Loss Warns of Global Wildlife Crisis
A recent study from the University of Amsterdam reveals an interesting phenomenon: When sad or difficult scenes appear in artworks, people spend more time looking at them compared to similar photographs. This discovery helps explain why art has been used for centuries to explore challenging subjects.
Researchers conducted five experiments with over 500 participants to test their preferences. In the first test, people chose between viewing paintings described as “selected for art galleries” or photos described as “news article images.” When scenes showed negative events like war or suffering, 63% preferred paintings, while only 37% chose photos. But for positive scenes like acts of kindness, this preference for art was not seen.
Why does this happen Later experiments showed three key reasons: Safety through imagination: Paintings felt less emotionally heavy. As one participant noted, “Art feels like a story, but photos feel too real.” Beauty balances pain: 78% considered paintings as more beautiful, even when showing sad content. Thinking space: Artistic styles inspired deeper thinking. People spent 40% longer viewing abstract war paintings compared to detailed photos. Professor Emma Chen, who wasn’t involved in the study, explains: “Art creates psychological distance. When we see brushstrokes (笔触) or unusual colors, our brain understands this isn’t real. This ‘safety blanket’ lets us face difficult truths without feeling overwhelmed.”
These findings show that art acts as a psychological filter when we face difficult or negative subjects. The beauty of artistic creations, along with the feeling that we’re stepping back from reality into a “as-if” world while experiencing art, may reduce the emotional impact of negative content, making it more approachable than non-art media.
The findings have real-world applications. Museums using this research redesigned exhibits about climate change, replacing graphic photos with symbolic sculptures. Visitor engagement increased by 55%, with more people reading information panels (信息面板). “It’s like using honey to make medicine easier to swallow,” says museum educator David Müller. “The artistic form helps important messages reach people who might otherwise look away.”
32.What is the purpose of the text
A.To compare the artistic value of paintings and photos.
B.To show how art makes negative content easier to face.
C.To argue that museums should replace photos with artworks.
D.To explain why people prefer beautiful images over realistic ones.
33.Why do people spend more time viewing negative art than photos
A.News-related photos naturally lack artistic value.
B.Art provides clearer information about real events.
C.Art reduces emotional stress while encouraging reflection.
D.Photos are often less professionally created than paintings.
34.What does the underlined phrase “a psychological filter” in paragraph 4 mean
A.A tool for improving photo quality. B.A method for selecting gallery artworks.
C.A technique for creating abstract paintings. D.A mental process for softening emotional impact.
35.What does the museum example imply about art’s social role
A.Modern audiences no longer care about realistic representations.
B.Museums should avoid displaying works with disturbing content.
C.Artistic forms can help important messages reach wider audiences.
D.Art simplifies complex problems to make them easy to understand.
One hundred and sixty years ago, Henry David Thoreau lamented (哀悼) that humankind was losing contact with nature. 36 Studies now confirm that long-term separation from nature harms our mental health and work performance.
Two main factors explain this phenomenon. Urban (城市的) populations grow from 3%in 1800 to over 55% today, physically distancing people from natural spaces. 37 Recent surveys show adults spend 7 hours daily on screens but less than 30 minutes outdoors. This “double distancing” creates what experts call nature deficiency syndrome (自然缺乏症).
This disconnection quietly shapes our daily life. 38 A recent study compared 50-minute walks in parks versus city streets: nature walkers showed 30% lower anxiety levels. Another experiment found four tech-free days in forests improved creativity by 50%. Clearly, nature acts as mental medicine we often neglect.
Practical solutions exist. First, use natural light to reset your biological clock. 39 Walking barefoot on grass for 20 minutes daily can also lift mood through “grounding effects”. Even small actions matter — office workers with window views of trees focus 23% better than those facing walls.
40 Schedule 40-minute park walks to refresh your mind every day. Choose camping instead of city hotels for vacations. Most importantly, build nature into daily routines — observe sunsets instead of staring at screens or create mini-gardens on balconies (阳台). As a saying goes, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”
A.The situation is undoubtedly worse today.
B.Weekend mountain hikes can relieve stress.
C.Immediate actions should be taken in your daily life.
D.Begin by following the sun’s schedule for daily routines.
E.Technology also steals our attention from outdoor activities.
F.Artificial lighting weakens your connection to biological clock.
G.People in the countryside have 40% less stress than city workers.

On a warm summer evening in Surat, my wife and I noticed a man on our way to the grocery store. He sat motionless, the 41 look in his eyes showed he probably had no normal mental function. An advertisement banner (横幅) around his waist was his only 42 from the bad weather.
It was quite obvious that he was in need of help. “There is no point in giving him 43 . Let’s buy him a loaf of bread instead,” I suggested. However, there was no 44 of him when we returned.

We watched for a while. Then, overcome with 53 , we placed the loaf of bread near the man and rode away, learning the true meaning of giving and sharing. That family was far from 54 , but they shared what they had, not something they had no use for, or something they could easily 55 , like a loaf of bread.

I started working at a new company back in March. From the very first day, I could see that the work environment was not like any other I had known before. The company had many clients, and their needs were always high.
Around the same time I arrived, the company began a reorganization. Many people felt stressed and confused by the changes, and the mood in the office was heavy. I felt that the situation could not continue like this, and I decided to do something to help. I thought of a plan that might bring a little fun into our difficult days.
The chance to put my plan into action came unexpectedly. One day, a big IT blackout (系统瘫痪) hit our office. It was a rare moment when the usual chaos of the office paused. I saw this as the perfect time to act. I hurried to the copy room and found a pile of blue paper. I made sure to cut out exactly eighteen little ponds. I also created simple shapes that looked like lily pads (睡莲叶) and clumps of reed grass (芦苇丛). Even though my tools were nothing more than scissors and paper, I was filled with the idea of creating a little world of my own.
After I finished preparing the ponds, I waited until the end of the day. With the building empty, I quietly walked around the offices. I placed each of the paper ponds carefully in different spots. I put them in corners, near the windows, and even close to the doorways. Then, I took out a bag of tiny plastic ducks. I had exactly 180 small, multicolored ducks that I had kept for a long time.
I placed these ducks in a careful and playful manner: some in the ponds, some in the breakrooms, some on the marker trays of the whiteboards, on the water fountains, and even near the copiers.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

The next morning, I walked into the office as if nothing had happened.

(Upton将自己7年的免费帮助描述为“很自然”,因为他携带了很多特殊的设备,这使得救援海龟变得容易,而且他也是这个亲密划船社区中值得骄傲的一员。他也是个动物爱好者,无论是“把蜘蛛带到外面”还是帮助被冷休克的海龟,他都把它们当作自己的第二个家庭。)”可知,Upton多年来一直致力于救助海龟,并把它们当作自己的第二个家庭,这表明他是一个有奉献精神且富有爱心的人。故选A。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是美国蝴蝶数量的下降情况及其背后的原因,并呼吁人们采取行动保护生物多样性。
28.细节理解题。根据第二段“Grames explained that unstudied species might be in worse condition since they are harder to observe. (Grames解释说,未被研究的物种可能状况更糟,因为它们更难观察)”可知,未被研究的蝴蝶物种的情况可能更严重。故选B项。
29.主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“Many factors lead to butterfly losses including habitat loss, climate change and pesticide (杀虫剂) use. While solving these problems requires big society efforts, each of us can help.”(许多因素导致蝴蝶数量减少,包括栖息地丧失、气候变化和杀虫剂的使用。虽然解决这些问题需要全社会的共同努力,但每个人都可以贡献力量。)以及下文中引用Grames所说的话“Because insects can have one to three generations per year, even small changes to the environment — such as planting native flowers or creating habitats — can ensure a pretty immediate increase in population.(因为昆虫每年可以繁殖一到三代,即使是对环境的微小改变——比如种植本土花卉或创造栖息地——也可以确保种群数量的迅速增长)”可知,本段主要介绍的是每个人都可以解决这些导致蝴蝶数量减少的问题,由此可知,本段主要讲述普通人可以通过小行动帮助提升蝴蝶数量。故选D项。
30.推理判断题。根据最后一段““I think butterflies do have the ability to recover fast, if we put the effort into conservation actions.” says Grames. (Grames说:“我认为,如果我们努力采取保护行动,蝴蝶确实有能力快速恢复。”)”可知,Grames认为如果采取保护行动,蝴蝶有能力快速恢复,由此可知,Grames博士对蝴蝶保护持充满希望的态度。故选A项。
31.主旨大意题。结合全文内容,尤其是首段中的““This is a wake-up call. People should be seeing this number and being very, very concerned, not just about butterflies, but about the state of insects in general.” says Eliza Grames, a conservation biologist (保护生物学家) at Binghamton University in New York and co-author of the study.(纽约宾汉顿大学的保护生物学家、该研究的共同作者Eliza Grames说:“这是一个警钟。人们应该看到这个数字,并感到非常、非常担忧,这不仅仅是关于蝴蝶,而是关于昆虫整体的状况。”)”可知,文章开篇指出美国蝴蝶数量在 2000 年至 2020 年间下降了 22%,接着阐述蝴蝶数量减少的现状、原因,随后强调蝴蝶数量减少是全球生物多样性危机的警示信号,结合下文介绍的美国蝴蝶数量的下降情况及其背后的原因可知,本文主要介绍的是蝴蝶的问题是整个生物多样性危机的一个警告信号,所以题目“蝴蝶减少警示全球野生动物危机”概括了文章的主题,适合作为最佳标题。故选D项。
32.B 33.C 34.D 35.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究发现,该研究揭示了当艺术作品中出现悲伤或困难的场景时,人们会比看类似的照片花更多时间观看,更容易接受,并分析了其背后的心理学原因及实际应用。
32.推理判断题。根据第一段“When sad or difficult scenes appear in artworks, people spend more time looking at them compared to similar photographs. This discovery helps explain why art has been used for centuries to explore challenging subjects.(当悲伤或困难的场景出现在艺术作品中时,与类似的照片相比,人们会花更多的时间观看。这一发现有助于解释为什么几个世纪以来艺术一直被用来探索具有挑战性的主题。)”和下文内容可知,文章开篇指出人们面对艺术作品中的悲伤或困难场景时,会比面对相似照片花费更多时间,接着通过研究解释原因,即艺术能作为心理过滤器,减少负面内容的情感冲击,最后说明该研究在现实中的应用,如博物馆用艺术形式展示气候变化相关内容以吸引观众。整体围绕艺术如何让人们更易面对负面内容展开,所以目的是展示艺术如何使负面内容更容易被面对。故选B。
33.细节理解题。根据第三段“Safety through imagination: Paintings felt less emotionally heavy. As one participant noted, “Art feels like a story, but photos feel too real.” Beauty balances pain: 78% considered paintings as more beautiful, even when showing sad content. Thinking space: Artistic styles inspired deeper thinking.( 通过想象获得安全感:绘画作品在情感上给人的沉重感较轻。正如一位参与者所说:‘艺术感觉就像一个故事,而照片感觉太真实了。’美感平衡痛苦:78% 的人认为绘画作品更具美感,即使展现的是悲伤的内容也是如此。思考空间:艺术风格激发了更深入的思考。)”可知,人们花更多的时间看负面艺术作品而不是照片是因为艺术在鼓励反思的同时减轻了情感压力。故选C。
34.词句猜测题。根据划线部分下文“The beauty of artistic creations, along with the feeling that we’re stepping back from reality into a “as-if” world while experiencing art, may reduce the emotional impact of negative content, making it more approachable than non-art media. (艺术创作的美感,以及我们在欣赏艺术时从现实中抽离、进入一个‘仿佛’世界的那种感觉,或许能够减轻负面内容带来的情感冲击,使其相比非艺术媒介而言,更易于被人们接受。)”可知,艺术创作的美以及体验艺术时从现实中抽离的感觉,会减少负面内容的情感冲击,所以“a psychological filter”指的是一种减轻情感冲击的心理过程,故选D。
35.推理判断题。根据最后一段“The artistic form helps important messages reach people who might otherwise look away.(艺术形式有助于重要的信息传达给那些原本可能会视而不见的人。)”可知,博物馆的例子暗示了艺术形式可以帮助重要的信息传达给更广泛的受众。故选C。

Guard Our Hearts
There are several ways to guard our hearts. First, we should communicate openly with family and friends, sharing joys and sorrows. This helps release negative emotions. Also, regular exercise and a balanced diet keep our bodies and minds healthy. Besides, developing hobbies like reading or painting allows us to relax and focus on positive things.
Let’s take action now to protect our mental health and lead a happy life.
67. The next morning, I walked into the office as if nothing had happened. As my colleagues gradually arrived, their expressions quickly changed from tiredness to surprise and then to amusement. Some let out a soft gasp when they spotted the paper ponds and plastic ducks. Others couldn’t help but burst into laughter. Alice, who had been looking particularly stressed lately, smiled widely and picked up a little duck, examining it with a delighted look. Everyone started chatting animatedly about this unexpected decoration. The heavy mood that had hung over the office seemed to lift instantly, replaced by a light and cheerful atmosphere. People shared their findings of where they had found the ducks, and the office was filled with the sound of laughter.
But the story did not end with the ducks. Inspired by the positive response, my colleagues and I decided to continue to add more fun elements to our workdays. We began a weekly “office creativity” activity. One week, we decorated the break room with handmade origami flowers. Another week, we set up a small corner with board games for short breaks. The company’s reorganization still continued, but the stress and confusion were gradually replaced by a sense of unity and enjoyment. We realized that even in the most difficult times, a little creativity and fun could make a big difference. And our office became a more pleasant and productive place to work.
