Growing up in Sri Lanka, I developed a deep love for wildlife, particularly elephants. However, I also saw the terrible impact of human-wildlife conflict.
Since 2021, over half of Earth’s terrestrial surface has been shared by both humans and wildlife — a number that continues to rise. As cities sprawl (杂乱地延伸), farms expand, and roads or buildings cut through habitats, encounters between people and wildlife become unavoidable. When elephants feed on crops or leopards wander into villages, human-wildlife conflict occurs. In response, people often build fences or use loud noise to scare animals away. Yet these short-term fixes rarely address the problem. What’s needed is treating human-wildlife conflict as a challenge to be addressed through collaboration, innovation, and respect for both human and animal needs. That’s why I contributed to the development of the Conflict to Coexistence (C2C) approach.
Instead of focusing on temporary solutions, this framework looks at the bigger picture — how social, ecological, and economic factors interact to shape conflict. In Bhutan, pilot (试验性的) implementation of the C2C approach has led to deep stakeholder (参与人) and partner engagement across various groups, resulting in co-designed strategies to manage conflicts with strong ownership by the partners implementing management measures.
Coexistence can’t be mandated from the outside. When impacted communities feel ownership over coexistence efforts and benefit from living with wildlife, they are far more likely to embrace and continue these efforts. By working together, we can build a future where both people and wildlife don’t just survive, but thrive.
4. What drives the rise in human-wildlife conflict
A. Wildlife seeking food in villages. B. More frequent wildlife encounters.
C. Ineffective human protective efforts. D. Human expansion into wildlife habitats.
5 What sets the C2C approach apart from traditional solutions
A. It is a short-term fix. B. It features collective efforts.
C. It uses noise to scare animals. D. It prioritizes ecological balance.
6. What does the underlined word “mandated” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Hardly achieved. B. Passively accepted.
C. Forcefully pushed. D. Voluntarily embraced.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Urban Growth’s Impact on Wildlife B. Community Efforts for Coexistence
C. Human-Wildlife Conflict Challenges D. Building Human-Wildlife Coexistence
C
Have you ever wondered what sets successful people apart Could it be the way how they use their minds Dr. Joseph Murphy believes the secret lies in the subconscious mind (潜意识). His book, The Power of Your Subconscious Mind, shows how this hidden force can help you reach your full potential and change your life.
The book is structured in an easy-to-read format, with short, clear chapters that explain complex ideas in everyday language. Murphy, who studied religion, philosophy, and psychology, uses simple words to describe how the subconscious works. Each chapter covers a different topic — like picturing goals, saying positive things, or improving health — and gives practical steps with real-life examples.
Murphy begins by drawing a clear distinction between the two parts of the brain: the conscious and the subconscious. Murphy then argues that the subconscious mind is an unlimited source of creativity that influences our habits and health, and by uniting mentally and emotionally with the good you wish to embody (体现), the creative power of your subconscious will respond accordingly. However, the book’s real strength is its practical application. Murphy provides case studies and examples that demonstrate how real people have used these principles to achieve personal success. Whether it’s financial stability, career advancement, or personal relationships, the techniques can be applied universally.
However, the book isn’t perfect. Murphy’s friendly style and wide knowledge — from religion to science — make it interesting, but some ideas, like the law of attraction, don’t have strong evidence. This might bother readers who want facts. Even so, the practical tips stand out. Whether you want a better job, health, or relationships, The Power of Your Subconscious Mind can give you tools to shape your life with your thoughts — a powerful idea worth trying.
8. What characterizes Murphy’s writing style
A. Long chapters on theories. B. Big ideas in simple language.
C. Practical steps without examples. D. Complex theories in academic language.
9. How could people achieve personal success according to Murphy
A. By working hard. B. By visualizing goals daily.
C. By building a positive mindset. D. By changing habits and reactions.
10. Who might be the least interested in the book
A. Evidence-driven readers. B. Positive mindset seekers.
C. Success strategy learners. D. Personal growth enthusiasts.
11. What is the author’s main purpose of writing the text
A. To present a self-help book. B. To list methods for success.
C. To encourage optimistic thinking. D. To explain subconscious mechanisms.
D
With obesity affecting over 1 billion people worldwide and expected to bring economic costs rising above $4 trillion by 2035 if ineffective interventions continue, an international team of 56 scientists from the Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology Commission has challenged the traditional reliance on BMI (body mass index) as the primary tool for diagnosing obesity.
While BMI—calculated from weight and height—has been widely used for its simplicity, the commission argues that it fails to distinguish between muscle mass and harmful fat distribution, leading to misdiagnoses. For instance, muscular individuals may be incorrectly labeled obese, while others with dangerous visceral (内脏的) fat around organs might appear healthy according to BMI standard.
To address the problem, researchers analyzed global health data and proposed integrating additional measuring methods. Dr. Robert Kushner, a commission member, noted that 40% of U.S. adults classified as obese via BMI might not require medical treatment. Therefore, they developed a revised approach specifically targeting belly fat, which may give rise to conditions such as inflammation and high blood sugar, thus causing harm to metabolism (新陈代谢). The approach combines BMI with waist circumference (圆周长), waist-to-hip ratio, or advanced body fat scans like DEXA.
Based on this revised diagnostic approach, the study introduced two new obesity categories: “clinical obesity” for patients with existing obesity-linked conditions like diabetes (糖尿病), and “pre-clinical obesity” for those at high risk due to excess fat. This classification aims to prioritize individuals who need urgent intervention while identifying others for preventive care. Notably, the approach acknowledges the complexity of obesity and enables personalized care, moving beyond one-size-fits-all diagnoses.
However, challenges remain. Advanced scans are costly and inaccessible in low-income regions, potentially worsening healthcare gaps. Additionally, ideal waist measurement standards require further testing across diverse populations. “Despite these limitations, the approach revolutionizes obesity diagnostics, marking a significant advancement in diagnostic precision,” says Dr. Francesco Rubino, the commission’s chair.
12. What leads the commission to criticize BMI as a diagnostic tool
A. Its ignorance of genetic differences. B. Its overvaluation of muscle strength.
C. Its effect on medical training. D. Its misclassification of fat distribution.
13. Why is belly fat the key focus in the new approach
A. It indicates muscle loss. B. It affects the accuracy of BMI.
C. It causes health problems. D. It symbolizes physical health.
14. What’s Dr. Rubino’s attitude towards the new approach
A. Critical. B. Favorable. C. Uncertain. D. Doubtful.
15. What does the text mainly talk about
A. New obesity diagnosis beyond BMI. B. BMI’s limitations in muscle-fat distinction.
C. Challenges in obesity treatment accessibility. D. The global rise in obesity-related economic costs.

I made a wrong decision because of my strong desire to get attention. As humans, our longing for recognition can sometimes lead us off track, pushing us to make regrettable decisions. This is a lesson I learned all too well.
My name is Vimukthi, and when I was 15 years old, I did very well academically yet longed for popularity among my peers. Despite my achievements, I felt overshadowed and unnoticed. The desire to stand out consumed me, pushing me toward a fateful mistake.
One day, during a visit to the IT lab with my friends, our teacher mentioned that some computer parts were missing. Curious glances were exchanged, and everyone wondered aloud how it could have happened in a locked lab.
“It’s possible to open that lock with another key,” I suggested, seeking attention and admiration from my peers. Instantly, eyes turned to me with new-found interest and curiosity. It was a rush I had never experienced before — a taste of the attention I wanted so desperately. In my eagerness to maintain their fascination, I demonstrated how to bypass the lock, enjoying the spotlight. Little did I realize that single moment of glory would ruin everything.
The following day, called to the teacher’s office, I found myself accused of stealing the missing parts. Shock and disbelief gripped me as I faced blame I had never anticipated. “I didn’t do it, sir,” I begged, but suspicion clouded the teacher’s eyes. His repeated questioning grew stronger, pushing me to the edge of fear and tears. In a desperate attempt to end the trouble, I falsely admitted, hoping to escape the mounting pressure.

Growing up in Sri Lanka, I developed a deep love for wildlife, particularly elephants. However, I also saw the terrible impact of human-wildlife conflict.
Since 2021, over half of Earth’s terrestrial surface has been shared by both humans and wildlife — a number that continues to rise. As cities sprawl (杂乱地延伸), farms expand, and roads or buildings cut through habitats, encounters between people and wildlife become unavoidable. When elephants feed on crops or leopards wander into villages, human-wildlife conflict occurs. In response, people often build fences or use loud noise to scare animals away. Yet these short-term fixes rarely address the problem. What’s needed is treating human-wildlife conflict as a challenge to be addressed through collaboration, innovation, and respect for both human and animal needs. That’s why I contributed to the development of the Conflict to Coexistence (C2C) approach.
Instead of focusing on temporary solutions, this framework looks at the bigger picture — how social, ecological, and economic factors interact to shape conflict. In Bhutan, pilot (试验性的) implementation of the C2C approach has led to deep stakeholder (参与人) and partner engagement across various groups, resulting in co-designed strategies to manage conflicts with strong ownership by the partners implementing management measures.
Coexistence can’t be mandated from the outside. When impacted communities feel ownership over coexistence efforts and benefit from living with wildlife, they are far more likely to embrace and continue these efforts. By working together, we can build a future where both people and wildlife don’t just survive, but thrive.
4. What drives the rise in human-wildlife conflict
A. Wildlife seeking food in villages. B. More frequent wildlife encounters.
C. Ineffective human protective efforts. D. Human expansion into wildlife habitats.
5 What sets the C2C approach apart from traditional solutions
A. It is a short-term fix. B. It features collective efforts.
C. It uses noise to scare animals. D. It prioritizes ecological balance.
6. What does the underlined word “mandated” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Hardly achieved. B. Passively accepted.
C. Forcefully pushed. D. Voluntarily embraced.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Urban Growth’s Impact on Wildlife B. Community Efforts for Coexistence
C. Human-Wildlife Conflict Challenges D. Building Human-Wildlife Coexistence
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. D
C
Have you ever wondered what sets successful people apart Could it be the way how they use their minds Dr. Joseph Murphy believes the secret lies in the subconscious mind (潜意识). His book, The Power of Your Subconscious Mind, shows how this hidden force can help you reach your full potential and change your life.
The book is structured in an easy-to-read format, with short, clear chapters that explain complex ideas in everyday language. Murphy, who studied religion, philosophy, and psychology, uses simple words to describe how the subconscious works. Each chapter covers a different topic — like picturing goals, saying positive things, or improving health — and gives practical steps with real-life examples.
Murphy begins by drawing a clear distinction between the two parts of the brain: the conscious and the subconscious. Murphy then argues that the subconscious mind is an unlimited source of creativity that influences our habits and health, and by uniting mentally and emotionally with the good you wish to embody (体现), the creative power of your subconscious will respond accordingly. However, the book’s real strength is its practical application. Murphy provides case studies and examples that demonstrate how real people have used these principles to achieve personal success. Whether it’s financial stability, career advancement, or personal relationships, the techniques can be applied universally.
However, the book isn’t perfect. Murphy’s friendly style and wide knowledge — from religion to science — make it interesting, but some ideas, like the law of attraction, don’t have strong evidence. This might bother readers who want facts. Even so, the practical tips stand out. Whether you want a better job, health, or relationships, The Power of Your Subconscious Mind can give you tools to shape your life with your thoughts — a powerful idea worth trying.
8. What characterizes Murphy’s writing style
A. Long chapters on theories. B. Big ideas in simple language.
C. Practical steps without examples. D. Complex theories in academic language.
9. How could people achieve personal success according to Murphy
A. By working hard. B. By visualizing goals daily.
C. By building a positive mindset. D. By changing habits and reactions.
10. Who might be the least interested in the book
A. Evidence-driven readers. B. Positive mindset seekers.
C. Success strategy learners. D. Personal growth enthusiasts.
11. What is the author’s main purpose of writing the text
A. To present a self-help book. B. To list methods for success.
C. To encourage optimistic thinking. D. To explain subconscious mechanisms.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. A

With obesity affecting over 1 billion people worldwide and expected to bring economic costs rising above $4 trillion by 2035 if ineffective interventions continue, an international team of 56 scientists from the Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology Commission has challenged the traditional reliance on BMI (body mass index) as the primary tool for diagnosing obesity.
While BMI—calculated from weight and height—has been widely used for its simplicity, the commission argues that it fails to distinguish between muscle mass and harmful fat distribution, leading to misdiagnoses. For instance, muscular individuals may be incorrectly labeled obese, while others with dangerous visceral (内脏的) fat around organs might appear healthy according to BMI standard.
To address the problem, researchers analyzed global health data and proposed integrating additional measuring methods. Dr. Robert Kushner, a commission member, noted that 40% of U.S. adults classified as obese via BMI might not require medical treatment. Therefore, they developed a revised approach specifically targeting belly fat, which may give rise to conditions such as inflammation and high blood sugar, thus causing harm to metabolism (新陈代谢). The approach combines BMI with waist circumference (圆周长), waist-to-hip ratio, or advanced body fat scans like DEXA.
Based on this revised diagnostic approach, the study introduced two new obesity categories: “clinical obesity” for patients with existing obesity-linked conditions like diabetes (糖尿病), and “pre-clinical obesity” for those at high risk due to excess fat. This classification aims to prioritize individuals who need urgent intervention while identifying others for preventive care. Notably, the approach acknowledges the complexity of obesity and enables personalized care, moving beyond one-size-fits-all diagnoses.
However, challenges remain. Advanced scans are costly and inaccessible in low-income regions, potentially worsening healthcare gaps. Additionally, ideal waist measurement standards require further testing across diverse populations. “Despite these limitations, the approach revolutionizes obesity diagnostics, marking a significant advancement in diagnostic precision,” says Dr. Francesco Rubino, the commission’s chair.
12. What leads the commission to criticize BMI as a diagnostic tool
A. Its ignorance of genetic differences. B. Its overvaluation of muscle strength.
C. Its effect on medical training. D. Its misclassification of fat distribution.
13. Why is belly fat the key focus in the new approach
A. It indicates muscle loss. B. It affects the accuracy of BMI.
C. It causes health problems. D. It symbolizes physical health.
14. What’s Dr. Rubino’s attitude towards the new approach
A. Critical. B. Favorable. C. Uncertain. D. Doubtful.
15. What does the text mainly talk about
A. New obesity diagnosis beyond BMI. B. BMI’s limitations in muscle-fat distinction.
C. Challenges in obesity treatment accessibility. D. The global rise in obesity-related economic costs.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. A

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I made a wrong decision because of my strong desire to get attention. As humans, our longing for recognition can sometimes lead us off track, pushing us to make regrettable decisions. This is a lesson I learned all too well.
My name is Vimukthi, and when I was 15 years old, I did very well academically yet longed for popularity among my peers. Despite my achievements, I felt overshadowed and unnoticed. The desire to stand out consumed me, pushing me toward a fateful mistake.
One day, during a visit to the IT lab with my friends, our teacher mentioned that some computer parts were missing. Curious glances were exchanged, and everyone wondered aloud how it could have happened in a locked lab.
“It’s possible to open that lock with another key,” I suggested, seeking attention and admiration from my peers. Instantly, eyes turned to me with new-found interest and curiosity. It was a rush I had never experienced before — a taste of the attention I wanted so desperately. In my eagerness to maintain their fascination, I demonstrated how to bypass the lock, enjoying the spotlight. Little did I realize that single moment of glory would ruin everything.
The following day, called to the teacher’s office, I found myself accused of stealing the missing parts. Shock and disbelief gripped me as I faced blame I had never anticipated. “I didn’t do it, sir,” I begged, but suspicion clouded the teacher’s eyes. His repeated questioning grew stronger, pushing me to the edge of fear and tears. In a desperate attempt to end the trouble, I falsely admitted, hoping to escape the mounting pressure.

My admission of guilt didn’t calm the teacher’s anger,
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
My father’s fim faith in me brought a mix of relief and shame.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
My admission of guilt didn’t calm the teacher’s anger. Instead, he became even more convinced of my wrongdoing, his voice rising as he accused me of not only stealing but also dishonesty. I stood there, trembling, my heart heavy with regret. I realized the gravity of my mistake — I had not only lied but also implicated myself in a crime I hadn’t committed. The teacher decided to involve the school authorities, and I was facing severe punishment, all because of my foolish desire for attention.
My father’s firm faith in me brought a mix of relief and shame. When he arrived at school and heard the whole story, he didn’t berate me as I feared. Instead, he looked at me with understanding and trust in his eyes. “I know you didn’t do it, son,” he said softly. His words were like a lifeline, pulling me out of the abyss of despair. I felt a wave of relief wash over me, knowing that someone believed in me. But at the same time, shame engulfed me for letting him down and for my own reckless actions. I vowed to make things right and never let my desire for attention lead me astray again.
