British market towns have their own unique styles. Each town's character comes from the goods and services it has produced and traded over hundreds of years. But their charm goes far beyond shopping— here are four wonderful ones. worth a visit:
Hereford、 Herefordshire
A lively market town since 1189, Hereford has lovely shops and restaurants around its central square. Don't miss the “Black and White House Museum” nearby. The town's most impressive building is Hereford Cathedral, which holds an ancient library. One of the four original copies of the Magna Carta is on show here.
Ludlow, Shropshire
Known as “England’s Food Centre”, Ludlow is surrounded by butchers, fruit shops, bakeries and cheese stores. Next to the square stands Ludlow Castle, a medieval fortress worth exploring. Every September, the town hosts a three-day “Ludlow Food Festival”—a great chance to taste local treats.
Shrewsbury, Shropshire
Getting to Shrewsbury's city centre from London takes some effort, but it's totally worth it. The River Severn bends around the centre, almost turning it into an island. This geography made it easy for goods to be carried in and out by water. The town is full of flowers—— hanging baskets, window boxes and flower pots— just like the typical British market town in your imagination.
Mevagissey, Cornwall
Even if you' ve never been to this small fishing village, Mevagissey, you might have seen it in films or British TV shows. Its port was built in 1774 and is still a working fishing port today. Fishermen go out to sea every day and sell their fresh catch at the port market. Before leaving, make sure to try a traditional Cornish pasty— it's delicious:

When pet lawyer Cui Can recalled his first pet-related case, his tone turned reflective. This February, his client found a pet sitter on a social media to look after his two cats. Three days later, both cats fell from the 19th floor and died. The case never made it to court. Instead, Cui helped negotiate a settlement worth a few thousand Yuan, paid out in small monthly installments by the sitter, a recent university graduate who claimed financial hardship.
“In many pet-related disputes(纠纷), litigation(诉讼) is impractical. The emotional and financial costs often outweigh the compensatory payment,” said Cui.“My role usually involves mediation(调解) to help parties reach an outcome that acknowledges the loss, not just the money.”
After practicing general civil law for several years, Cui burned out. It was during a late night at his desk, accompanied only by his long-haired cat.Ultraman was there with me; quiet, comforting, that he had an insight:“Pets are part of my life—— why not focus on their legal issues ”
As China's pet population booms, related disputes rise. Yet China has a dedicated animal-protection law, leading to weak legal punishments.“Legal vacuums are the biggest challenge.” Cui stressed. Practical issues like insufficient evidence and lack of expert opinions also interfere with cases.
Despite these, Cui believes there remains a glimmer of hope. In March, be founded the Pet Legal Alliance, a WeChat network of more than 1,000 legal professional s nationwide: Members must be practicing lawyers and pet owners themselves, “because you have to understand the emotional bond to do this work.” according to Cui. The group shares resources, pushes for better industry standards, and advises local governments on animal-protection rules.
“Pets are companions, not property. The law will catch up.” In his office, surrounded by legal books. and Ultraman's photo, Cui smiled. “We’re building something meaningful.one case at a time.”
24. Why didn’t Cui's first pet case go to court
A. No laws applied to the case. B. The sitter refused to go to court.
C. The owner couldn't afford legal fees. D. Mediation worked better for both sides.
25. What inspired Cui's shift to pet law
A The lack of pet lawyers in China. B. The companionship of his furry friend.
C. Huge pressure from his civil law clients. D. The high payment earned from pet cases.
26. What does the underlined phrase “Legal vacuum” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. Few lawyers handling pet cases. B. Weak punishments for pet abuse.
C. No special animal-protection law. D. Owners' lack of legal knowledge.
27. What is Cui's attitude towards the future of legal protection for pets
A. Pessimistic. B. Neutral. C. Optimistic. D. Critical.

When a plant is stressed, it doesn't keep quiet about it. You won't hear the plant's cry because it's in the ultrasonic(超声的) range—— too high- pitched for human ears—— but, for decades, scientists have been using special devices to listen in.
For the first time, a team of researchers in Israel has documented that insects can hear and interpret plants' distress sounds. The research team recorded sounds from tomato and tobacco plants that were dehydrated(使脱水). The noise created was a result of changes in the plant's water balance. During periods when the plants lack water, air bubbles form, expand and collapse in xylem tissues(木质部组织), which are responsible for distributing water from the roots, creating shaking and click- like sounds.
In the study published in eLife, scientists tested Egyptian cotton leafworm moths(飞蛾). The researchers conducted a series of experiments where they observed Egyptian cotton leafworm moths detecting ultrasonic signals emitted by drought- stressed tomato plants. These subtle sounds help female moths choose where to lay their eggs.
In one experiment, when there were no plants present, the female moths preferred the side where the sounds of stressed plants were played, indicating that the moths may have associated the sound with the presence of vegetation. However, when healthy plants were placed on two sides, where only one played the sound of distressed plant clicks, the moths chose to lay their eggs on the silent side. As part of the research, when the moths' sense of hearing was removed, they no longer showed a preference for where to lay their eggs. This suggests that sound plays a key role when it comes to moths choosing the best environment for their eggs.
The new discovery sheds light on the possibility of this invisible ecosystem. Professor Yossi Yovel called this “the first proof of animals responding to plant sounds". Another expert Rya Seltzer added. “This is just the tip of the iceberg. Countless organisms hear these frequencies, and more plant sounds await discovery.” These “secret lives” of plants and moths aren't just fascinating—— they may also have real- world uses as scientists learn more. As scientists continue to tune in, much may still be waiting to be discovered, just beyond our perception.
28. What is the main finding of the Israeli research
A. Insects react to sounds from stressed plants.
B. Moths lay their eggs based on plant sounds.
C. Dehydrated plants have more xylem tissues.
D. Plants produce sounds human beings can't hear.
29. Why did moths choose the silent side to lay their eggs
A. The moths preferred silence to noise.
B. There were a larger number of healthy plants.
C. The moths adjusted to the quiet environment.
D. The silent side meant better survival chances.
30. What can be inferred about the significance of the new discovery
A. It confirms- many stressed plants produce ultrasonic signals.
B. It challenges the traditional view of plant- insect interactions.
C. It proves plant sounds are the key factor in ecosystem balance.
D. It explains why moths are more sensitive to sounds than other insects.
31. Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A. The" Secret Sounds" Between Plants and Insects
B. How Moths Choose Places to Lay Their Eggs
C. Why Drought Makes Tomato Plants" Click"
D. Forests: The Quietest Ecosystem on Earth
D
1 Painkillers of all different sorts have long existed in human history, and accessible non-addictive ones like paracetamol(扑热息痛,一种温和镇痛剂和退烧药) represent a major advance in managing the aches and pains that come with being alive. However, over three-quarters of common medicines are obtained from fossil fuels, making the pharmaceutical(制药的) industry environmentally unfriendly.
Fortunately, researchers from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland have released a study in Nature Chemistry, revealing a method for turning plastics into paracetamol in less than 24 hours. According to the study, the primary ingredient used to make the paracetamol is polyethylene terephthalate, also known as PET, a lightweight plastic widely used in packaging and water bottles that generates. over 350 million tons of waste annually, most ending up in landfills or oceans.
The conversion from PET into useful materials employs fermentation(发酵) principles similar to beer-making. Specifically, this process uses phosphate found in bacterial cells to convert terephithane acid—— which is abstracted from the breakdown of PET—— into para-aminobenoic acid which is then genetically engineered into paracetamol.
This new method of producing paracetamol is exceptionally eco-friendly: it operates at room temperature, produces nearly zero carbon emissions, and converts about 90% of PET into medicine with minimal waste." This work. demonstrates that PET isn't just waste— it can be transformed by microorganisms into valuable new products, including those with potential for treating disease,” Professor Stephen Wallace noted. While plastic waste remains a pressing issue, this is a step in the right direction, and highlights the fact that plastics have the potential to be reused in a wide variety of creative ways.
It is clear that solving the climate crisis will take a lot of ingenuity and creativity. And though it seems like just a drop in the bucket, the University of Edinburgh's discovery could be the first in a string of discoveries that focus on learning how to transform plastic into products that can help humanity, as opposed to harming the earth.
32. What makes the pharmaceutical industry not environmentally friendly
A. Paracetamol production causes much plastic waste.
B. The production of paracetamol emits much carbon.
C. Microorganisms are often used in medicine production.
D. A majority of medicines come from non-renewable sources.
33. Why does the author mention beer- making in paragraph 3
A. To better explain the fermentation principles.
B. To show the complexity of the new method.
C. To compare two industrial production processes.
D. To introduce a material used in paracetamol production.
34. What can we learn about the new method from paragraph 4
A It usually requires rather high temperature to work.
B. It achieves high transformation rate with little waste.
C. It is the first eco-friendly way. for paracetamol production.
D. It can transform various types of plastic waste into medicines.
35. What is the function of the last paragraph in the passage
A. To summarize the advantages of the new method.
B. To introduce other creative ways of reusing plastics.
C. To expect a future of plastic reuse for human benefit.
D. To emphasize the urgency of solving global climate crisis.

Want More Self- Control The Secret Isn't Willpower.
People tend to respect and even idolize strong- willed people————— friends who hit up the gym five times a week or colleagues who manage to stay focused in nearly every situation. But willpower shouldn't be confused with self- control. 36 , yet it may not be the most effective method.
Improving willpower boils down to just trying harder while self- control relies on strategic methods. 37 . Here are some options:
Create routines. Research reveals that people who are good at self- control tend to structure their lives to avoid having to make draining decisions in the moment. 38
Monitor your progress. Enhancing self- control can be both easy and fast. 39 such as using a journal, a calendar, or an audio recording. This process creates immediate feedback and a sense of accomplishment, reinforcing your commitment.
Manage your environment.. Energy vampire s, the type of people who leave you feeling drained, will deplete your ability to exert self- control. Likewise, people who support you and lift you up will give you a greater capacity for self- control.
40 .“Shifting focus from individual desires to collective needs fosters motivation lo1self- control,” said Scott Haas, a clinical psychologist in Boston. This shift in focus reduces reliance on finite mental resources.
Ultimately, self- control is less about fighting urges and more about skillfully managing your environment and perspective, leading to lasting calm.
A. Build supportive networks
B. Connect to a larger purpose
C. Somehow, these routines automate positive responses
D. The key is to keep notes on your actions toward a goal
E. Multiple techniques maximize the effectiveness of self- control 1.
F. Willpower may help manage your emotions or fight strong desires
G. For instance, scheduling fixed activities like running builds consistency

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 sun was setting over Springdale, casting shadows across the busy community center. A group of teenagers, the members of the Springdale Youth Committee, gathered at a table. They looked determined and worried. Among them was Alice, a smart but often unnoticed girl who loves helping others.
For weeks, they had been organizing a fundraising event for the local homeless shelter, as the shelter struggled to assist the increasing number of individuals seeking help. The big day was one week away, and everything was set—— until they discovered another group had a similar charity event on the same day, which could divide the people who might come and the donations they hoped to get.
“We can't change the date now,” said Peter, a senior member, his voice filled with frustration. “We' ve already sent out invitations, and the place is booked.” Alice listened quietly to the discussion. She knew changing the date wasn't possible, but she also realized competing with another worthy cause could hurt both sides.
After the meeting ended without a solution, Alice decided to take action. She spent the next day looking into ways to work with the other group, hoping to find a way that would help both the homeless shelter and the other cause.
The next day, she came to the committee with a suggestion. “What if we cooperate with them ” she asked. “We could share resources, work together on promoting, and most importantly, make sure both causes are supported by the community.”
The members looked at each other, some doubtful, others interested. “That’ s a great idea. Alice, but how will we get them to agree ” Laura, another member, asked. Alice had already thought this through. “I’ ll talk to their organizer and show them the benefits of a joint event,” she knew the path ahead would be challenging, but she was determined to make it happen for Springdale and its people.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;

Dear fellow students,
Our school has transformed an unused lawn into a labor practice garden. It’s a wonderful place for us to engage in various activities: we can plant vegetables and flowers, water and weed the plots, or even harvest what we grow.
This garden is more than just a space for labor. It helps us experience the joy of working with our hands, understand the value of food, and develop a sense of responsibility. It also offers a chance to relax from heavy study and enjoy nature.
Let’s join in the labor practice! Together, we can make the garden thrive and gain meaningful experiences.

The committee agreed to let Alice lead this effort.
Alice wasted no time in finding the organizer of the other group, a girl named Maya. At their first meeting, Alice explained the situation calmly: “Both our events aim to help those in need. If we compete, we’ll split the donations and audience, which will hurt both causes.” She then proposed a joint event—they could share the venue, take turns hosting activities, and display information about both charities. Maya listened carefully, her doubt fading as Alice talked. She admitted she’d also worried about the overlapping date but hadn’t thought of cooperation.
After days of negotiation, Alice finally got a positive reply.
Maya agreed to the joint event, and the two groups started working together. They designed a poster showing both charities, promoted the event on social media, and divided tasks—Alice’s group handled food preparation, while Maya’s team organized games. On the big day, the community center was crowded with people. Donations poured in, far more than either group had expected. Peter patted Alice’s shoulder: “You were right—cooperation is better than competition.” Alice smiled, knowing that helping others together made the effort even more meaningful.
