When Martin Roth started as a forest ranger in the 1980s, his job was to care for the forest to ensure continuity for decades, even centuries. Now, with climate change, it’s more about planning for an uncertain future. “It’s disaster management,” says Roth, for whom the 3,000 acres of forest serve as testing ground for high-tech solutions, earning him the nickname “digital forest ranger.”
After a severe storm, the clock starts ticking: Damaged trees should be removed before the arrival of bark beetles, which grow in dead trees and can destroy entire forests. While it once took Roth about 2.5 hours to cover an acre on foot, drones (无人机) now let him survey the entire 3,000 acres in several days, so he can quickly locate damaged trees, inform owners of affected plots, and send updates to workers.
Roth’s exploration goes beyond drones. His recent project is combining body camera with AL. “Usually you mark the trees, they’re cut down, and you have no idea how much wood you’ll get, what quality, and which species,” he explains. AI now “sees” through his body cam, recognizes tree species, estimates wood production, and sends real-time information to his phone.
Since up to half of European tree species are unsuited to rising temperatures and extended dry periods, Roth has also begun experimenting with new species, planting them in small groups and keeping track of them in his system. As forest areas expand, interventions are needed, but there aren’t enough employees to keep it all straight. “Either I know it, or the computer knows it, or no one knows it and it’s lost,” he says.
Roth’s expertise in tackling the challenges of modern forestry with technology is increasingly sought after—colleagues reach out for advice, and he lectures on the topic at universities. But he warns that technology can never replace a wander through the forest: “I should never believe that the digital twin is reality. I always have to do a reality check.”
What was Roth’s job when he started his career
A．Sustaining forest health. B．Predicting the forest’s future.
C．Managing disasters. D．Seeking high-tech solutions.
What does Roth use drones to do
A．Identify dead tree species. B．Remove harmful insects.
C．Collect data of forest damage. D．Inform owners of their loss.
What point is Roth trying to make with his words in paragraph 4
A．Forests are a cure for climate change.
B．Experienced workers are in great need.
C．Forest expansion is successfully controlled.
D．Technology is key to tracking forest information.
Why does Roth warn about the use of technology in forestry
A．It may replace human workers.
B．It may need too much checking.
C．It may provide false information.
D．It may deny chances of forest walks.

As you enjoy the companionship of your pets at home, have you ever thought about the more meaningful things they can do Wu Qi, a pet trainer in his 30s, has demonstrated their enormous potential, as his team has trained over 300 dogs, most of them pets, to help people in need.
On a recent day at a support center for elderly people with cognitive (认知的) disorders in Shanghai, seniors warmly greeted the adorable therapy (治疗) dogs upon their arrival. Assisted by devoted volunteers, the dogs participated in a range of interaction and activity-based recovery training. These sessions included exercises tailored to aid in muscle recovery and enhance communication skills and self-expression among the elderly. Autistic (自闭的) children, seniors with cognitive disorders, people with disabilities and those with mental health disorders are all target clients of the therapy dog team.
According to a report on China’s pet industry in February, last year alone, urban people had more than 50 million pet dogs. “I hope to reach out to the vast population of pet owners and encourage them to participate in our initiative. Their pet dogs have enormous potential in making a difference and helping others, ” Wu said. His team has now prepared a set of comprehensive training courses designed to enhance the pets’ sociability, obedience and interactive skills, while also reducing potential overreactions.
Many pet owners are willing to extend a helping hand to assist those in need. Jin Pei, a 75-year-old grandmother from Shanghai, is among the generous pet lovers. Her dog Biubiu is now a frequent visitor to local nursing institutions for the elderly, recovery organizations for children with developmental disabilities, and hospitals. “On the New Year’s Eve, I welcomed Biubiu, a stray dog, into my home, and since then, she has become an essential part of my family. The dog healed me with its companionship and support, and so I would like her to become a therapy dog and cure more people, ” Jin said.
How did the team train the pet dogs
A．By involving them in healing activities.
B．By guiding them to entertain the patients.
C．By instructing them to greet the target clients.
D．By assisting them to enhance self-expression skills.
Which of the following people can benefit from the programme
A．The voluntary children. B．The disabled adults.
C．The beloved pets owners. D．The committed volunteers.
What is Jin Pei’s attitude towards the programme
A．Objective. B．Unconcerned. C．Skeptical. D．Approving.
What is the best title of the text
A．Team Calls on People to Assist the Elderly.
B．Dogs Are the Best Friends of Human Beings.
C．Team Trains Pets for Animal-assisted Therapy.
D．Pet Owners Are Willing to Extend a Helping Hand.

In celebration of Penguin Awareness Day, fieldwork assistant Natacha Planque offers an insight into the dramatic life of a penguin researcher in the Antarctic wilderness.
With temperatures reaching below -50℃ and winds reaching over 100 km per hour, the frozen desert of Antarctica is one of the harshest environments on Earth. Despite these conditions, life finds a way, with thousands of penguins calling this icy world their home. But with the pressures of climate change continuing to mount, researchers are braving the Antarctic wilderness to understand the impacts on the lives of these iconic flightless birds.
By land and air, Natacha is supporting the annual counts of emperor and Adélie penguins, monitoring more than 25 islands. Natacha and the team counted more than 38,000 nesting Adélie couples and 34,000 chicks last year. The numbers have been rising in Pointe Géologie since 1985. But sadly, this is not representative of the species as a whole, with Adélie penguin populations declining by around 65% in the past 25 years in the Antarctic Peninsula due to the impacts of climate change.
Emperor penguin territories in Antarctica have been under enormous pressure from a loss of sea ice, with mass reproduction failures recorded in recent years. This makes Natacha’s observations of the emperor penguin territory in Pointe Géologie vital to understanding the impacts on the population. Natacha’s job is to count their huge marching columns and identify the icy passages they use to move between the islands.
The data is clear, and emperors are in decline, but seeing these iconic birds marching through the wilderness fills Natacha with wonder. To keep track of their reproductive success, Natacha and the team collect emperor penguin eggs that have failed to hatch, and then count them.
With all this data gathered by committed people like Natacha, WWF and partners can better understand the impacts of pressures such as climate change on Antarctic wildlife and advocate for stronger protections and increased conservation efforts.
What does the underlined word “harshest” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Cleanest. B．Toughest. C．Noisiest. D．Safest.
What can be inferred about Adélie penguins on Pointe Géologie
A．They are well protected.
B．They are a different subspecies.
C．They are not affected by the environment.
D．They are less impacted by climate change.
Which is one of Natacha’s jobs about emperor penguins
A．Observing their routine. B．Marking their territories.
C．Gathering their unhatched eggs. D．Recording their travel distance.
Which words can best describe Natacha’s work
A．Demanding and crucial. B．Stressful but highly-paid.
C．Dangerous but exciting. D．Interesting and high-paced.

As an experienced teacher, I’ve come to understand the great value of hands-on activities. 36 No other creature on Earth, not even our closest primate (灵长类) relatives, has hands structured quite like ours, capable of such precise grasping and control.
37 A lot of modern life involves simple movements, such as touching screens and pushing buttons, and some experts believe our shift away from more complex hand activities could have consequences for how we think and feel.
Think about it: you're glued to your screen, typing out assignments or chatting with friends. Sure, that's a big part of how we live now. 38 Our brains are actually wired to respond to hand movements. When you do things like cooking or knitting, it gives you a huge sense of achievement.
Research backs this up. Studies have shown that when people — and even rats — do things that require effort, they handle stress better, solve problems faster, and even remember things better. For example, rats that had to dig for their food were less stressed and better at solving problems than those that got food handed to them. 39 Activities like gardening and crafting can help reduce anxiety and depression, making you feel a whole lot better.
In my classroom, I make sure my students get a mix of traditional and digital activities. I encourage them to do things using their hands. This makes learning more fun and helps them feel emotionally and mental better. 40 And your brain and hands will thank you!
A．The same goes for us humans.
B．The human hand is a wonder of nature.
C．Now, why don't you join me in an exciting card game
D．Technology is constantly bringing new challenges to our hands.
E．However, we are doing less complicated hands-on work than we used to.
F．But nothing beats the satisfaction you get from doing something with your hands.
G．So next time you reach for a screen, consider picking up a pen, some clay or fabric.

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。
When I was in middle school, my social studies teacher asked me to enter a writing contest. I said no without thinking. I did not love writing. My family came from Brazil, so English was only my second language. Writing was so difficult and painful for me that my teacher had allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic by acting out a play, where I played all the parts. No one laughed harder than he did.
So, why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail His reply: “Because I love your stories. If you’re willing to apply yourself, I think you have a good shot at this.” Encouraged by his words, I agreed to give it a try.
I chose Paul Revere’s horse as my subject. Paul Revere was a silversmith (银匠) in Boston who rode a horse at night on April 18, 1775 to Lexington to warn people that British soldiers were coming. My story would come straight from the horse’s mouth. Not a brilliant idea, but funny; and unlikely to be anyone else’s choice.
What did the horse think, as he sped through the night Did he get tired Have doubts Did he want to quit I sympathized immediately. I got tired. I had doubts. I wanted to quit. But, like Revere’s horse, I kept going. I worked hard. I checked my spelling. I asked my older sister to correct my grammar. I checked out a half dozen books on Paul Revere from the library. I even read a few of them.
When I handed in the essay to my teacher, he read it, laughed out loud, and said, “Great. Now, write it again.” I wrote it again, and again and again. When I finally finished it, the thought of winning had given way to the enjoyment of writing. If I didn’t win, I wouldn’t care.
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150个左右；
（2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news.

One possible version：
A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news. “The champion goes to the author of Paul Revere’s Horse!” “Seriously How could it be possible that my essay should win the first prize There must be something wrong!” I murmured to myself. The news spread throughout the entire school like wildfire. All of a sudden, I turned from nobody to somebody, surrounded by strangers, whose congratulations almost flooded me. I stood there, warm tears of joy falling down my cheeks. I，for the first time，got to know the sweet taste of success.
I went to my teacher’s office after the award presentation. Hands trembling, I handed the award to my teacher. As before, he laughed out loud and said, “Great. Keep writing!”, pride radiating from his eyes. With a lump in my throat, I said, “But for your help, the award would have been beyond my reach. No words can express my heartfelt gratitude to you.” He replied, “It is you yourself that made it happen! You deserve it!” Holding me tightly in his arms, he encouraged me to keep on writing not for awards but for enjoyment.
