More Info. Hadley is a sweet and energetic pup that just needs a little time to warm up. She can be nervous when meeting new people, but once she feels safe, her playful and fun personality shines through! Hadley loves to run around, play with toys and would like to stay with someone who can be patient and help her build confidence. She’d love to meet the whole family here at the shelter before you take her home. Meet Bolt! This spirited pup is lively and always ready for an adventure. Along with his playful nature, he’s also a total sweetheart who loves being around people and enjoys attention. Bolt would grow up healthy in an active home with older kids or adults only, as his enthusiasm might be a bit too much for younger children. He may also enjoy having a playful dog friend to have fun with. Coral would love to go home with someone that will take her on adventures to lakes, streams or the beach because she loves water! Playing with other dogs is another one of her favorite things to do, so bring any potential siblings over to say hello! Coral has suffered abuse before, so she needs a quiet home and a patient owner that could help her gain confidence around people. Thumbelina is a shy girl that would be grateful for an adopter who lets her slowly get used to her new home. Once she’s comfortable with you, she loves to snuggle up next to you or right on your lap. She’s met dogs and cats and seems to have done okay with both, so with a slow introduction she can learn to get along with some new furry friends.

A. A quiet home of an old couple. B. An energetic family of adults.
C. A family with young children. D. A home with no other dog pets.

In March, Lencia Kebede made her Broadway debut (首演) as the first black actor to play Elphaba full-time in the musical Wicked. Premiered in 2003, the play tells the story of Elphaba and Glinda, the witches from the book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and is one of the most popular musicals in the world.
Kebede, aged 30, is the daughter of Ethiopian immigrants and grew up in Los Angeles, California. Her path to Broadway was unexpected. She studied diplomacy and politics at Occidental College and originally planned to work in law or public service. But during her senior year, Kebede decided to follow her passion for performing.
After graduating from college in 2016, she pursued a career in musical theater. Kebede’s early roles included a national tour of the Broadway musical Rent and a show at Tokyo Disney. She then spent five years touring with Hamilton, playing one of the lead roles as Angelica Schuyler.
Elphaba is known to be a challenging role that involves singing, acting, and being lifted into the air during the famous song “Defying Gravity”. When Kebede first sang that song for a Broadway audience, she was supported by more than 60 family members and friends in attendance. “I really felt like I was flying,” she said.
In a social media post after her debut, Kebede reflected on her journey and the many times she sang “Defying Gravity” as a child. She shared a lyric from the song “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” from The Wizard of Oz: “The dreams that you dare to dream do come true.”
4. Why is the musical Wicked special to Lencia Kebede
A. She’s a co-author of the original work. B. It’s the first play she has ever acted in.
C. It’s the beginning of her acting career. D. She’s the first black full-time heroine.
5. What has made Kebede change her career
A. Her childhood interest. B. Her family background.
C. Her passion for acting. D. Her major in the college.
6. Which challenge is specifically mentioned about playing Elphaba
A. Memorizing the lyrics of songs. B. Performing two-way dances.
C. Appealing to different audiences. D. Singing and acting in the air.
7. Why did Kebede share the lyric in the post
A. To recall her early acting journey. B. To reflect on her academic life.
C. To show belief in pursuing a dream. D. To criticize the theater industry.
C
To mark its 130th anniversary this year, the National Trust has announced plans to create around 2,500 square kilometres of “nature-rich” landscapes across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The National Trust is a charity that preserves nature and buildings.
The organisation has set a target of 2035 for creating these natural areas. It’s an ambitious goal: in the past 10 years the Trust has done similar work, but only for around 250 square kilometres. If joined together, the landscapes it plans to create would cover an area bigger than the Lake District National Park.
The charity’s focus will be restoring peatland (watery habitats containing a soil-like material called peat) and improving the quality of rivers. It aims to improve the health of enough soil to provide homes for one billion earthworms.
The National Trust also aims to reconnect natural areas that have been broken into separate bits, such as a road cutting a forest in half. Known as habitat fragmentation, this is often caused by humans and harms animals by making it hard for them to feed and raise families.
The new landscapes will help tackle climate change by protecting plants and peat. These both absorb carbon dioxide from the air. This is a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the Earth’s atmosphere, leading to rising temperatures and climate change.
The plans are aimed at land already owned by the National Trust, as well as nearby areas and land that it plans to buy. Examples include linking an area of disused farmland in Merseyside, England, to a nearby area of forest. There are also plans to link two areas of protected land that are 10 miles apart in England’s Shropshire Hills. This should help breeding curlews. The charity aims to work with farmers and landowners to help them boost nature on their land.
“We will ramp up our work to restore nature, both on our own land and beyond our boundaries,” said Hilary McGrady, director-general of the National Trust.
8. What does the National Trust aim to do for the next ten years
A. Protect all forests in the U.K. B. Increase the natural areas by tenfold.
C. Enlarge the peatland by 10%. D. Expand Lake District National Park.
9. What harm does “habitat fragmentation” do
A. Separating natural areas into small parts. B. Threatening the survival of animals.
C. Restricting human’s regular movement. D. Transforming forests into farmland.
10. What will the Trust do to create new landscapes
A. Connect smaller areas of land. B. Replant crops on disused farmland.
C. Till the land in mountain areas. D. Link the roads that cut the forests.
11 What is the text mainly about
A. The history of the National Trust. B. The benefits of natural landscapes.
C. The Trust’s efforts to cut emissions. D. The Trust’s plans to restore nature.
D
Have you ever noticed how highway traffic often comes to a stop for no clear reason Surprisingly, ants — tiny as they are — have mastered the art of avoiding such jams. Scientists are studying their strategies to help design smarter self-driving car systems.
When roads get crowded, human drivers tend to brake suddenly, creating ripple effects that freeze traffic — like water turning to ice. Ants, however, keep moving smoothly even in extreme crowds. A study reveals their secret: They travel in small groups of 3-20, maintaining steady speeds and spacing without trying to overtake each other.
Unlike ants, human drivers often act selfishly — changing lanes abruptly — which worsens traffic for everyone. Researchers suggest autonomous cars could mimic ants by sharing data to maintain safe distances and constant speeds, similar to how ants use chemical signals to coordinate (协调) without a central leader.
Ant colonies also adapt flexibly. Their trails widen when busy, and they even crawl on tunnel ceilings to avoid congestion. Scientists propose that smart vehicles could use similar distributed decision-making to prevent bottlenecks. “Ants don’t need a commander; they cooperate through simple local interactions,” explains a biologist.
Of course, ants have unique advantages. They can physically merge (挤在一起) when crowded and reshape their environment — skills beyond current technology. For now, drivers can adopt a simple ant-inspired tip: Keep enough distance from the car ahead. This small buffer helps absorb sudden stops and prevents “phantom jams” caused by braking waves.
While future self-driving cars may fully copy ant-like coordination, today’s lesson is clear: Smooth traffic isn’t about rushing — it’s about working together. By prioritizing the group over individual speed, both humans and machines could finally outsmart the jam.
12. Why are scientists studying the ants’ traffic strategies
A. To analyze the reasons for traffic jam. B. To highlight ants’ anti-jam abilities.
C. To improve self-driving car systems. D. To compare ants with human drivers.
13. What is the ants’ secret of avoiding traffic jams
A. Overtaking others if possible. B. Moving in well-coordinated teams.
C. Slowing down when crowded. D. Following a central commander.
14. What does the underlined word “buffer” refer to in Paragraph 5
A. Distance. B. Technique. C. Creature. D. Lesson.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Why the Rush B. What’s the next C. Where to go D. Who to Blame

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。
Ryan and Ahmed sat on their bicycles at the start of the cyclocross (公路越野赛) course. Ahmed had been competing in cyclocross for three years, but this was Ryan’s first race. Ahmed tightened his gloves, determined to win this year’s championship. Ryan wished he could remember everything Ahmed had taught him.
Ryan reviewed the last six months in his mind. From the moment Ahmed had first asked whether he would like to try the sport, Ryan had been excited. Ahmed helped Ryan find safety gear. He also explained the importance of practising and set up a plan for the two friends to practice together.
Practising was hard. Ryan soon grew bored with working on the same skills over and over. He was ready to race! Ryan ended up skipping many of the practices. When Ryan did go to practices, he spent more time doing tricks with his bike than he did listening to Ahmed’s tips.
“Now the real fun begins,” Ryan thought as he sat at the starting line. “You need to get serious,” Ahmed warned. “Cyclocross can be dangerous.”
Bang! The starting gun went off. The boys rushed off. Ryan saw the first obstacle (障碍) ahead—a series of small hurdles. “Here I go!” Ryan shouted. He jumped off his bike and landed hard on his foot. He tried to pick it up by the wheels but dropped it. Finally, he got his bike off the ground. The bike was heavy, and his ankle hurt. Before he knew it, he was lying face-down in the mud.
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。
Ahmed reached down to help Ryan.

【47题答案】
【答案】Ahmed reached down to help Ryan. “Get up! You can still finish,” Ahmed said firmly, pulling Ryan to his feet. Ryan brushed mud off his clothes, wincing at the pain in his ankle. “I don’t think I can,” he muttered, staring at the distant finish line. Ahmed handed him the bike. “Remember what I taught you about perseverance This is when it matters.” With Ahmed’s encouragement, Ryan limped forward, pushing his bike over the hurdles. Though he fell twice more, he kept going, fueled by the thought of not quitting.
“ I’m sure I’ll finish my next cyclocross race,” Ryan said. Ahmed smiled, clapping him on the back. “That’s the spirit. But next time, let’s practice more—no skipping sessions or showing off tricks.” Ryan nodded, his face flushed with embarrassment. “You’re right. I was stupid to ignore your advice.” As they walked their bikes back, Ryan realized winning wasn’t everything. What mattered was respect for the sport and the effort to improve. He couldn’t wait to start practicing again—this time, the right way.
