True friends, most people would agree, are there for each other. Sometimes that means offering emotional support. Sometimes it means helping each other move. And if you’re a superb starling, it means stuffing bugs into the beaks (鸟喙) of your friends’ babies, secure in the expectation that they’ll eventually do the same for yours.
Scientists have long known that social animals usually put blood relatives first. But a recent study published in the journal Nature shows that unrelated members of a superb starling flock (群体) often help each other raise chickens, trading assistance to one another over years in a behavior that was not previously known.
The study was led by Dustin Rubenstein, a professor of ecology at Columbia University, whose lab has maintained a 20-year field study of the species that included 40 breeding seasons. It has recorded thousands of interactions between hundreds of starlings and collected DNA to examine their genetic relationships.
When the team began analyzing the data, they were shocked to see that birds new to the flock took the initiative to babysit those born within it, and vice versa. And the team also found that individual birds that helped nonrelatives one breeding season later had their good deeds repaid, sometimes repeatedly. “To me, that sounds like friendship,” said Dr. Earl, a biologist at Cornell University and an author of the paper.
The idea that animals might establish friendships with unrelated individuals generated heated debates among other scientists in the field. However, a growing body of research has led some scientists to accept that long-term reciprocal relationships exist among some animals, for example, whales, bats and elephants. But long-term relationships can be difficult to detect. The team needed 27 seasons’ worth of data to pick up hints (线索) of reciprocity in the starlings. “The study makes a convincing case,” said Jorg Massen, a behavioral ecologist at Utrecht University. “One next step would be to work out how these long-term relationships are maintained day to day,” he said.
The behavior of superb starlings also suggests that sustaining reciprocal relationships benefits everybody. “Birds that live in larger groups tend to live longer and reproduce more babies,” Dr. Rubenstein said. In the unpredictable African savanna, it’s all hands on deck to raise young. And the addition of immigrant birds is required to make the groups more resilient.
Today, as many experts worry about an epidemic of human loneliness, there could be value in heeding lessons from the superb starling. But maybe don’t offer to stuff bugs down the mouths of your friends’ kids. Luckily, you can always offer to babysit.
4.The new finding of a study is that members of a superb starling flock ________.
A. hire new comers to look after chickens
B. support family members selflessly
C. make trades among themselves
D. practice shared parenting
5.What does the word “reciprocal” underlined in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A. Flexible. B. Interdependent. C. Balanced. D. Trusting.
6.According to scientists not involved in the study, the study ________.
A. provides a solution for human emotional issues
B. offers evidence of starlings’ large population
C. has room for further research
D. lacks long-term evidence
7.What would be the best title for the passage
A. A Bird in the Hand is Worth Two in the Bush
B. A Helping Bird Makes a Lasting Link
C. Birds of a feather Flock Together
D. Fine Feathers Make Fine Birds
C
Many years ago, I taught high school biology. The first day, I told my students that they could use their books to take any test that I would give. They were surprised, and most thought that class would be very easy despite my explanations that it would not be. They were surprised again when they found that it was not as easy as they thought.
Study is still necessary. In the real world, one can look up a wealth of information, but its validity (可信度) varies. It is the ability to evaluate, test, and reason with that information that is of value. That is what I tried to teach using the basic facts of science as a backdrop for developing a thoughtful approach to understanding scientific problems and other issues.
Science is a systematic quest for truth. It strives to search for unbiased facts (客观事实) that can be tested and proved, which are of value to everyone. Of course, one may argue about many things, but the facts behind these debates should hopefully be less arguable.
For most scientists, the hope is that their search for truth will ultimately benefit society. For many of us that is enough. We do our work and experimentally test its validity. We may be recognized by our peers, and over time our discoveries may have a positive impact upon society, but is that enough Should we expect more of ourselves
The pursuit of truth through science has both intrinsic (内在的) and practical value. However, the value of that truth is less impactful if it is not actively shared, Society is experiencing many difficult issues and their solutions require the types of unbiased information that science can provide. Our work is valuable. Its value increases if it is communicated and acted upon.
From Galileo to the present, the sharing of scientific information is not without its challenges — it may take enormous efforts in the face of fear and confusion. However, with our increasing reliance on science and technology, a widespread basic understanding of scientific processes is even more necessary. Most people are more than capable of that understanding if given the opportunity. Once that understanding is achieved, this methodology can be applied to most of the problems that we face.
On a societal level, supporting an educational system that values the scientific method over memorization benefits everyone. Scientific methodology should not just be the province of scientists. Reason and a search for truth should not be limited to the laboratory. By making the scientific method part of the curriculum as mentoring and listening to one another, we all benefit.
8.What might the author’s students find difficult
A. searching for information in books.
B. Thinking with the information at hand.
C. Understanding the teacher’s explanation.
D. Memorizing biological terms and concepts.
9.The author agrees that ________.
A. scientists should increase research results.
B. impacts of science on society are debatable.
C. science should be made available to everyone.
D. settling debates with evidence is in great need.
10.Why does the author mention Galileo in Paragraph 6
A. To imply the value of scientists’ courage.
B. To stress the effects of scientific barriers.
C. To illustrate the development of science.
D. To appreciate scientists’ achievements.
11.What does the author mainly do in this passage
A. Review an experience. B. Clarify a goal.
C. Comment on a system. D. Advocate a practice.
二、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共12.5分。
Reading aloud is an activity we might assume is just for young children who can’t read themselves. However, when my 10-year-old daughter recently asked me to read a book to her one evening, I realised that there is something more to it.
She has an audible library packed with books to choose from, and a bookshelf full of her own books. 12 She likes the way I do the voices, and we both enjoyed the time bonding and connecting together.
Today, in an age of distraction, we might put on an audiobook while walking or running, or to pass the time while driving. In these moments, our attention is split, the honking of horns (汽车喇叭声) interrupting the voices, or a red light, and the frustration we feel during drives. But when we listen to a loved one, it’s not just that we get to hear their voice. 13 It is a multi-sensory experience that involves sight, sound, and even touch if we snuggle close together. This allows us to truly rest in the moment. 14
You could ask someone to read to you, or take turns. You could start a reading-aloud book group. 15 There, they read aloud, offering readers the opportunity to hear the words on the page, exactly as they were intended to sound. One study found that reading aloud for 30 minutes lowered blood pressure, heart rate, and feelings of psychological distress just as effectively as yoga. When we bring back reading as a social activity to share with others, we help to create a community where these benefits can be shared.
16 We don’t know exactly where it will take us. When we invite others along, we may find ourselves branching off in different directions, learning more about the world, real or imaginary — and, most magically, about each other.
A．But, that night, she chose me.
B．Perhaps there are local author events.
C．A good book is like setting off on a long journey.
D．We see their gestures and facial expressions as well.
E．Reading to each other might seem old-fashioned and outdated.
F．Our attention is on a single point of focus rather than called in different directions.
G．You could share with others a chapter of a book, a poem, or a story from a newspaper supplement.

Obviously, laughing is a clear indication that I’m not taking this matter 23 enough! To make me 24 of my tendency to be over-polite, Nikos raises his thumb and forefinger and waves in a “tweaking” gesture as if something needs a small adjustment. Then, he looks me firmly in the eye and says, “Agh, don’t worry; here in Cyprus, we will 25 a few things with you!” Then, we all burst out laughing!
Something as simple as when and where to say “thank you” offers a chance to connect with and understand those of different backgrounds. And that’s what I love so much about traveling. Travels can 26 cultures, ultimately leading to peace and better understanding.

28.During my years in China as an international student of Chinese language and culture, I was fortunate to explore its rich history, diverse cultures, and incredible cuisine.
One dish that particularly stood out in my studies was Crossing Bridge Rice Noodles, a specialty from Yunnan province. I learned about its history and significance in the classroom, but the pity was that I never had the opportunity to taste it during my student years. However, in 2024, when I traveled to Yunnan, I finally experienced this famous dish firsthand. The experience was nothing short of extraordinary.
Walking into a traditional Yunnan restaurant, I was drawn to the sight of large bowls of steaming hot broth (热汤), trays of fresh ingredients, and the delicate, silky rice noodles. The dish was served in a traditional manner — each component presented separately, allowing me to put together my bowl according to my preference. But I chose to follow the traditional method, adding the raw meat slices, the vegetables, tofu and eggs into the hot broth. Finally, I carefully placed the rice noodles into the bowl.
The first bite was an explosion of flavors. The broth, made from slow-simmered (慢炖的) chicken and pork bones, was rich and deeply comforting. The rice noodles were incredibly smooth, almost jellylike, yet with a satisfying chewiness. The combination of fresh ingredients created a balance of textures — tender meat, crisp vegetables, and silky noodles, all coming together harmoniously. What amazed me the most was how familiar the flavors felt. The savory taste of the broth, combined with the fresh herbs and spices, reminded me of certain Nepali dishes. The comforting warmth of the soup brought back memories of home-cooked meals, making the experience even more meaningful.
Food is more than just a meal. Trying the dish in Yunnan was an experience that connected me to China’s rich culinary heritage and reaffirmed the deep bond between food and culture. Having studied this dish academically years ago, finally tasting it in its authentic form was a full-circle moment.
(1) What was the author’s pity during her student years in China _____________________________________________________________________________
(2) Why was the author amazed at the flavors _____________________________________________________________________________
(3) Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
After putting the ingredients into the bowl according to her own preferences, the author began to enjoy the dish.
______________________________________________________________________________
(4) How do you understand “food is more than just a meal” (In about 40 words)_____________________________________________________________________________

Additionally, having a column on diverse cultures would be brilliant.

I'm convinced that it will equip us with diverse perspectives, making us more understanding global citizens. Hope my ideas help. Wish the new edition a great success!

28.During my years in China as an international student of Chinese language and culture, I was fortunate to explore its rich history, diverse cultures, and incredible cuisine.
One dish that particularly stood out in my studies was Crossing Bridge Rice Noodles, a specialty from Yunnan province. I learned about its history and significance in the classroom, but the pity was that I never had the opportunity to taste it during my student years. However, in 2024, when I traveled to Yunnan, I finally experienced this famous dish firsthand. The experience was nothing short of extraordinary.
Walking into a traditional Yunnan restaurant, I was drawn to the sight of large bowls of steaming hot broth (热汤), trays of fresh ingredients, and the delicate, silky rice noodles. The dish was served in a traditional manner — each component presented separately, allowing me to put together my bowl according to my preference. But I chose to follow the traditional method, adding the raw meat slices, the vegetables, tofu and eggs into the hot broth. Finally, I carefully placed the rice noodles into the bowl.
The first bite was an explosion of flavors. The broth, made from slow-simmered (慢炖的) chicken and pork bones, was rich and deeply comforting. The rice noodles were incredibly smooth, almost jellylike, yet with a satisfying chewiness. The combination of fresh ingredients created a balance of textures — tender meat, crisp vegetables, and silky noodles, all coming together harmoniously. What amazed me the most was how familiar the flavors felt. The savory taste of the broth, combined with the fresh herbs and spices, reminded me of certain Nepali dishes. The comforting warmth of the soup brought back memories of home-cooked meals, making the experience even more meaningful.
Food is more than just a meal. Trying the dish in Yunnan was an experience that connected me to China’s rich culinary heritage and reaffirmed the deep bond between food and culture. Having studied this dish academically years ago, finally tasting it in its authentic form was a full-circle moment.

29.【答案】Dear Editor,
I'm thrilled to hear about the upcoming edition for teenagers! I have some ideas to make this section a must-read for us teens.
My first suggestion is a "Tech Trend" column. Living in the tech-driven age, we're curious about how AI will shape our lives. This column can feature cutting-edge technology and innovative ideas, which may help us better adjust to a changing world.
Additionally, having a column on diverse cultures would be brilliant. This section can present authentic daily life stories and various customs and traditions from home and abroad, offering a window into the world. I'm convinced that it will equip us with diverse perspectives, making us more understanding global citizens. Hope my ideas help. Wish the new edition a great success!
Sincerely,
Li Hua
