I work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley. Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.
I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl (猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.
I examined the chick (雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.
The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.
Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.
A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all — LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.
24. What is unavoidable in the author’s rescue work according to paragraph 1
A. Efforts made in vain.
B. Getting injured in his work.
C. Feeling uncertain about his future.
D. Creatures forced out of their homes.

A. It’s unexpected. B. It’s beautiful.
C. It’s cruel. D. It’s discouraging.

When industrial engineer Abel Cruz was a boy, his weekly work was to struggle through a rocky valley in the foothills of the Peruvian Andes to fetch the family’s water from a spring. “It was downhill from the house, far away and rough,” he recalls. This challenging task left a lasting impression on Cruz, who began dreaming up innovative ways to collect water more efficiently.
He observed that special plants have evolved to capture rain and mist with their broad and wide leaves. This observation sparked the inspiration for a revolutionary idea: a fog net. Over the years, Cruz has improved this concept and eventually shared it with communities around the world. The fog net consists of vertical sections, each covering an area of about 215 square feet. As fog comes from the Pacific Ocean, micro drops of water concentrate on the net and then drip down into collection tanks below. Remarkably, a single net can gather between 50 and 100 gallons of water per day.
In joint efforts with the Creating Water Foundation, Cruz has fixed over 3,600 of these nets on the bare hillsides surrounding Lima, Peru. This initiative has been crucial in providing a sustainable water source for the city, which is home to more than 9 million residents. Lima experiences minimal rainfall and struggles with frequent water shortages, making Cruz’s work more critical.
“The planet has less and less fresh water,” Cruz emphasizes, highlighting the importance of his work. “Glaciers, which act as natural resources, are disappearing, so we must find innovative ways to accumulate and save water for periods of drought.” His efforts not only change lives but also emphasize the urgent need for sustainable solutions in a world facing increasing water shortage.
28. Why is Cruz’s childhood experience of fetching water mentioned
A. To show what a tough boy Cruz was. B. To explain his motivation for innovation.
C. To recall his terrible sufferings in the past. D. To prove how short water was in his hometown.
29. What function does Cruz’s innovation serve
A. To collect tiny drops of water. B. To capture rain and mist.
C. To draw fog from the Pacific. D. To occupy the bare hillsides.
30. Where have Cruz and the Creating Water Foundation installed the fog nets
A. On glaciers near the Pacific Ocean. B. Inside collection tanks in residential areas.
C. On bare hillsides surrounding Lima. D. In the rocky valleys of the Peruvian Andes.
31. What may Cruz’s efforts lead to
A. Guaranteeing crop harvests in Peru.
B. Promoting the recycling of water resources.
C. Ending poverty by improving traditional farming.
D. Improving the life quality for people in water-stressed areas.

As DeepSeek, the latest AI phenomenon, thunders into public awareness, social media platforms are being transformed into creative classrooms where just about everything imaginable is taught by using the software—from designing wedding invitations to using Photoshop, teaching math and telling fortunes.
One is on social media platform Xiaohongshu, also known as RedNote. Titled Learning to Use DeepSeek in One Minute, it received more than 11,000 likes in just 10 days. Among the tutorials (教程),one released by Tsinghua University’s Metaverse (元宇宙) Culture Laboratory team—DeepSeek from Beginner to Mastery 2025—stands out. The 104-page document, which covers theory and practical skills, is a detailed instruction for mastering DeepSeek and applying its full potential. It’s designed both for beginners and advanced users.
The guide provides strategies for creating requirements that enhance AI performance. It also includes case studies illustrating how to apply DeepSeek to meet various needs. Team leader Shen Yang, a professor at Tsinghua University’s School of Journalism and Communication and its College of AI, said human-computer dialogue is essential for progress.
“Even though AI’s capacity to understand human intentions has improved significantly, humans still need to clearly express their needs,” he said. “The combination of open-source software and inclusive applications is meaningful.” By providing free tutorials, for example, the team can deliver the power of AI to everyone, allowing each person to use and master it, rather than being dominated by it.
A social media influencer using the name Zhinan Shanhe posted a four-episode video tutorial of DeepSeek on Douyin and Xiaohongshu. The videos have been popular, gaining hundreds of thousands of likes. The 30-year-old man from Shanghai works in the AI industry and he has mastered many AI tools. “Before DeepSeek, I mostly used foreign AI models, which are not so user-friendly for Chinese people,” he said. “But the capabilities of DeepSeek are charming. It is powerful and also completely free, which is a blessing for its users.”
32. What can be inferred in paragraph 1 about DeepSeek
A. It is widely implemented in many aspects. B. It can predict the future precisely.
C. It is used to teach nearly all imaginative topics. D. It is transformed into creative classrooms.
33. What can we learn from Shen Yang’s statements when using AI
A. Users are blessed with the free software. B. Clear instructions from human are necessary.
C. AI does better in reasoning than humans. D. AI can fully understand human intentions.
34. What is the target of the free tutorials provided by Tsinghua University’s team
A. To advance AI capabilities. B. To increase the popularity of DeepSeek.
C. To help people better understand AI theory. D. To promote and cultivate mass AI mastery.
35. What is the best title for the passage
A AI: A New Revolution in the Digital World
B. DeepSeek: Reforming Social Media and AI Learning
C. Tutorials: Fundamental Keys to Mastering DeepSeek
D. Social Media: The Platform for AI Education and Promotion

阅读下面短文，从短文后选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Have you ever slept a full eight hours but awakened feeling as tired as if you had pulled an allnighter ____36____ Unrefreshing sleep, also known as non-restorative sleep, is exactly what it sounds like: sleep that doesn’t recharge the body and brain enough to help you feel well-rested. If you’re constantly struggling with non-restorative sleep, it’s necessary to take a hard look at your habits and sleep hygiene (卫生).
____37____ Some people think they need less than the recommended seven to nine hours per night, but are in reality feeling sleep-deprived. To test whether you’re well-rested, skip setting your alarm on your day off and see how late you wake up without it. If you sleep in late, that’s a signal that your body needs to catch up on rest because you’re not getting enough shut-eye normally.
Take a look at any medications you’re using. Sleeping pills and other types of prescription drugs, as well as over-the-counter treatments like melatonin (褪黑激素), can have “hangover” effects that lead to morning dizziness. ____38____ If you’re on a necessary medication that makes you feel dizzy in the morning, ask your doctor if there’s a way to minimize side effects.
Try to implement the classic sleep advice you’ve probably heard a million times, but likely still don’t follow. Limit caffeine and alcohol consumption; stay off your phone close to bedtime; create a soothing bedtime routine and aim for consistent sleep and wake times; and try to sleep in a cool, dark, quiet room. ____39____
If you’ve done all these things and still feel like your sleep isn’t restorative, to the point of disturbing your daily life, it’s worth seeing a doctor. ____40____ Hopefully, he can help you get into a routine that leaves you feeling refreshed in the morning.
A. Figure out how long it takes you to fall asleep.
B. Make sure you’re actually getting enough sleep.
C. Everyone has the occasional night of poor sleep.
D. A physician can look for underlying medical causes.
E. It can create or worsen the feeling of unrefreshing sleep.
F. If so, you may have experienced what’s known as unrefreshing sleep.

67. 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 lunch bell rang and the class rushed to get in line. But Kojo stayed at his desk to make sure that he was last.
“Come on!” “Hurry up!” His classmates called and Kojo finally fell in place as they made their way down the hall to the cafeteria (食堂).
Kojo’s classmates carried cool-looking lunch bags: fashionable, colorful, zippered bags containing all kinds of delights and delicacies. Instead, he carried an old one given by his grandma. Kojo dragged his feet, his head hung down and his lunch bag hung behind.
During lunch, Kojo cautiously sat at a table with his new classmates. He unzipped his lunch bag and slowly pulled out his lunch — some traditional dishes from his grandmother’s kitchen. As he opened the container, a classmate across the table burst into laughter, pointing at the lunch bag. Kojo’s cheeks turned red with embarrassment as he quickly zipped up his lunch bag, feeling a wave of shame wash over him. He wished he could disappear.
Later that day, feeling upset, Kojo returned home. His grandmother noticed his depression and sat down beside him. “What’s troubling you, my boy ” she asked gently. As he explained what happened in the day, her eyes softened with understanding. She opened the lunch bag and gently traced its worn fabric. “You know, Kojo,” she began, her voice filled with warmth, “this lunch bag carries more than just your lunch. It carries our family’s history. Your grandfather and his father used this very bag to carry their lunches, too. It has seen generations of men in our family working hard and taking pride in who they are.”
Kojo listened with interest. His grandmother continued, detailing stories from their family’s past, about the traditions passed down through time. Each tale celebrated their culture and the unique dishes that had made their family. With each story, his embarrassment began to fade, replaced by a newfound appreciation for his heritage.
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。
Paragraph 1:
That night, Kojo decided to share with his classmates the history of his lunch bag.
