Data Privacy Laws and Regulations Around the World
Data is the new economic driver as it brings more value and innovations. To ensure organizations are handling and processing users’ data transparently, privacy regulations have been established globally. China’s Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL)
Effective Date: November 1, 2021 Region: Asia-Pacific
PIPL applies to organizations providing services in China or processing Chinese citizens’ data, even if they are based abroad. It imposes (强制实行) several stricter rules on data controllers & processors and also provides extensive rights to individuals. China also has the Data Security Law (DSL) and the Cybersecurity Law (CSL) to support data protection. Australian Privacy Act 1988
Effective Date: Since 1988 Region: Asia-Pacific
Australia’s Privacy Act 1988 is one of the world’s earliest privacy laws. It applies to organizations with an annual turnover (营业额) of more than $3 million, as well as most government agencies. The law includes 13 Australian Privacy Principles that guide how personal information should be handled. Brazil’s Lei Geral de Prote o de Dados (LGPD)
Effective Date: September 18, 2020 Region: Latin America
LGPD is a comprehensive data protection law in Brazil that takes its inspiration from the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the European Union (EU).

Sahel, a dry region of Africa sandwiched between the Sahara desert and the Sudanian Savanna, was turning to dust. With efforts on both national and international scales having failed, it was a local farmer, Yacouba Sawadogo, who decided to take matters into his own hands in the 1980s.
Instead of using modern innovations, the farmer turned to old ways, employing two simple traditional approaches to fight against the desert. One involved digging holes to collect precious rainwater, where fertilizers or compost may be placed to increase the amount of nutrients in the soil. Crops may then be planted in these holes. The other was laying lines of stones across the field to slow the water’s flow. But to his community, these ways seemed odd. “They thought I had lost my mind,” Yacouba later recalled.
It’s true that the two methods are labor-intensive tasks, and the cost is higher in terms of manpower. Yet, Yacouba persevered. For years, changes began to show. Green shoots pushed through the earth where there was once only dust. Trees grew, and his land was transformed.
The success gained by Yacouba has made him a respected figure in the community that initially laughed at him. In 2010, his story reached the world through a documentary film. More importantly, the fame enabled him to reach out to a much greater audience and allowed him to share his agricultural techniques with fellow farmers, making them better equipped in their own struggle against desertification.
The forest that now stands is a testament to one man’s strong belief. Yacouba Sawadogo did not just stop the desert; he sowed seeds of hope that grew into a forest, and took root in the hearts of his people.
24．What did Yacouba dig holes for
A．Placing farm tools. B．Storing more crops.
C．Laying stone lines. D．Gathering rainwater.
25．What might make the community misunderstand Yacouba initially
A．Using modern methods. B．Seeking international help.
C．Employing local people. D．Increasing the labor cost.
26．What is the most significant impact of Yacouba’s success
A．His personal documentary was made.
B．His techniques got applied more widely.
C．He invented agricultural equipment.
D．He gained respect from his community.
27．Which can be a suitable title for the text
A．Dry Sahara: A Land of Miracle in Africa.
B．Stopping Desertification: How Far to Go.
C．From Desert to Forest: A Farmer’s Belief.
D．Modern Problems: How to Solve Them.
Many people have seen the way a Mimosa pudica plant, also called the touch-me-not, folds its leaves when touched. Fewer know that if you put one into a sealed room with a dose of anaesthetic (麻醉剂), it will eventually stop doing this, as though it has been knocked out or put to sleep. This raises controversial ideas: Does this plant exist in a state of awareness that is shut off by anaesthetics Or might we consider this state as plants’ subjective internal experience Paco Calvo at the University of Murcia in Spain and a small group of plant behaviour researchers take them seriously.
Plants operate in ways that are difficult for us to perceive, so people have traditionally assumed they aren’t doing very much. But in recent years, researchers have found them to possess many surprising abilities. Plants can sense and react to more aspects of their environments than we can, and they maintain busy social lives by communicating with each other above and below ground.
Calvo believes that the first step in exploring the internal lives of plants is to look closely at their behaviour. He has spent many hours simply sitting and watching his favourite common bean plants grow. “One way to tune in to plants is to slow down and get closer to their different timescales,” he says. At the Minimal Intelligence Laboratory (MINT Lab) at the University of Murcia, he and his colleagues take a more high-tech approach. Taking the climbing beans as an example, they use images taken every minute to capture the plants’ movements while monitoring their internal electrical signalling activity with electrodes and biosensors (生物传感器).
While the MINT Lab is looking joyfully at electrical signalling, other plant behaviourists are being sceptical about plants having consciousness.
“It’s an interesting philosophical question, but not a very useful one for understanding plants, as everything they do can be explained physiologically (生理地),” says Mike Blatt at the University of Glasgow, UK.
28．Why is the experiment on Mimosa pudica mentioned
A．To discuss plants’ awareness. B．To introduce an anaesthetic.
C．To end the public’s argument. D．To call for plant conservation.
29．What has recent research found about plants
A．They are passive in communication.
B．They move at a relatively slow speed.
C．They operate under a visible system.
D．They are sensitive to the surroundings.
30．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A．Approaches of observing plants. B．Functions of electrical signals.
C．Steps of growing climbing beans. D．Timescales of exploring plants.
31．What might Mike Blatt think of MINT Lab’s study
A．Innovative. B．Worthful. C．Fruitless. D．Outdated.
“Recognition is the first human quest,” the journalist Andy Crouch writes in his book The Life We are Looking for. Babies come out of the womb (子宫) looking for a face that will see them, a parent or a caretaker who will attend to their needs. When their needs are not seen, they are emotionally hurt.
Psychologists sometimes conduct “still face” experiments in which mothers are asked not to respond to their babies’ attempts to gain attention. When the babies send out signals for love and care, the mothers remain expressionless. At first, the babies appear uneasy. Soon, they cry in sorrow. These experiments are not designed to cause harm, but to reveal how deeply human beings depend on being recognized by others.
Such experiences form what may be called the first education of life. From the very beginning, every child is searching for answers to basic questions: Am I safe How does love work Am I worthy Even in babyhood, we internalize the answers to these questions based on what we see and how we are treated. This education does not end in childhood but continues into later adulthood, shaping how people see themselves and relate to others.
The above fact tells us that everyone needs attention, so people need to develop empathy — a set of social and emotional skills that allow them to understand others. But how to develop it One of the earliest skills related to empathy is mirroring. Mirroring means accurately catching the emotion of the person in front of you.
A person who is good at mirroring is quick to experience others’ emotions. He is able to smile at smiles and frown at frowns. This happens because a powerful way to understand another person’s feelings is to live them out yourself in your own body. Through such shared emotional experiences, empathy is gradually formed rather than naturally given.
When people experience reliable and empathetic recognition, they feel safe. And a person who feels safe because of others’ empathetic presence is more likely to see the world as a wider, more open, and happier place.
32．Why do psychologists conduct “still face” experiments
A．To stop emotional hurt to babies.
B．To test mothers’ reactions to babies.
C．To teach adults some parenting skills.
D．To study babies’ needs for recognition.
33．What does the author suggest about “the first education of life”
A．It lasts through a life time. B．It is formed by relations to schools.
C．It ends in early childhood. D．It is gained by proposing questions.
34．What does the underlined phrase “live them out” probably mean in paragraph 5
A．Hide the feelings. B．Ease the feelings.
C．Feel the feelings. D．Overcome the feelings.
35．What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．The world makes people more empathetic.
B．Recognition shapes people’s world view.
C．Emotional safety promotes independence.
D．Happiness comes after showing empathy.
Are you too busy for long-term happiness routines In today’s fast-paced world, many people struggle to maintain big well-being practices like gratitude journals. What if more joy could come not from major lifestyle changes 36 For example, ask a friend to share something that made them feel proud.
A global project called the Big Joy Project explores exactly this idea. It encourages more than 100, 000 participants from more than 200 countries to engage in a different five-to-ten-minute micro-act each day. These acts include expressing gratitude, performing a small kindness, watching an awe-inspiring video and more — spread over seven days. 37 On a scale (量表) from “not at all”, to “a lot”, they rate how positively and how negatively they feel before starting and after completing each micro-act.
Remarkably, after just one week, researchers analyzed data from 17, 598 participants and found significant improvements. The results showed they have greater emotional well-being, more positive feelings, lower stress, and even better sleep quality. 38 Those who take part also feel more connected and willing to help others — what researchers call “prosocial” behavior. Interestingly, participants, whose prosociality scores were lower before the start of the project, experienced the largest improvement after seven days. 39
In a world often filled with stress and loneliness, these micro-acts offer a practical and uplifting path forward.
40 Researchers believe they activate key psychological ingredients: boosting positive emotions, strengthening social bonds, and restoring a sense of personal agency. Instead of waiting for happiness to come from external events, participants learn they can actively steer their own well-being.
A．The benefits go beyond personal happiness.
B．Why do such small actions work so effectively
C．Participants also answer several questions along the way.
D．What if instead it could come from simple, brief actions in your daily life
E．We set out to explore why “micro-acts” can affect overall happiness in life.
F．This suggests small joyful actions can be very powerful where they are most needed.
G．The number makes it the largest-ever community science project on joy in the world.

Francesco Sanna, an Italian chef, has made China his home for sixteen years. His childhood fascination with China, sparked by textbook images of busy streets, solidified when local Chinese restaurants introduced him to using chopsticks, which ultimately 56 (draw) him to China in 2009.
Now working at the Niccolo Hotel in Chongqing, a hotel 57 name comes after explorer Marco Polo’s father, Sanna sees his kitchen as a place for dialogue. His signature creation, the Chongqing Spicy Chicken Pizza, 58 (perfect) illustrates his cuisine philosophy. It transforms a classic local stir-fried chicken dish by placing it on a hand-tossed pizza base with local chilies and cheese, 59 (create) a surprising harmony between Italian tradition and bold Chinese flavors. This brand-new pizza has thus successfully translated 60 (region) taste into a universally appreciated format.
For Sanna, this dish represents a meaningful cultural exchange 61 (root) in mutual respect. He observes that both Italian and Chinese cuisines share 62 core emphasis on local ingredients. His work is not about simple integration 63 about interpreting local Chongqing flavors through Italian techniques, a process where he learns from Chinese 64 (chef) as much as he teaches.

Through his food, Sanna actively contributes to this deepening bond. He proves that cultural connections can 65 (build) by shared appreciation for heritage and innovation.

六、书面表达
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。
Sandra hates any dishes left in the sink. She’ll always wash her breakfast dishes before work. Even if it’s only one dirty item, she won’t leave it in the sink. She prefers to do tasks steadily. But her best friend Jessie is the exact opposite. Jessie thinks it’s inefficient to put on dish washing gloves and run a sink of water for a few items. She waits until the end of the day to wash all the dishes, and does laundry only once a week.
Despite their differences, they had been close friends ever since college. They shared an apartment after graduation. Living together was like a quiet, ongoing test of how well they could make a compromise and achieve mutual understanding.
Most days, their way of living worked just fine. Sandra’s half of the living room was always neat and tidy, while Jessie’s corner was a messy pile of stuff. But things started to go wrong when Jessie had a big project deadline. Her usual habit of cleaning up at the end of each day turned into cleaning up only at the end of the week. Slowly, the kitchen counter was completely covered by a growing pile of cups, plates and takeout boxes.
On the exact day of the deadline, Jessie was in a hurry to make coffee. She accidentally hit the dishes on the counter, and everything fell down. After the loud noise died away, there was a heavy, silent moment. Sandra stood at the doorway, staring at the broken pieces of bowls and plates, mixed with leftover food, all over her freshly mopped floor. Looking back in Sandra’s eyes, Jessie said, “I’m sorry, I will clear it up later when I finish my project.”
In the evening, happy to have survived her project, Jessie walked into the kitchen, ready to wash that huge pile of dishes and deal with the mess. But to her surprise, the sink was empty and spotlessly clean.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150词左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Before she could feel happy about it, Jessie noticed a note stuck on the fridge.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Feeling a mix of embarrassment and gratitude, Jessie knocked on Sandra’s door. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

3．B
【原文】W: I want to cook something different tonight. Anything to suggest
M: We could try making Thai curry. I saw a simple recipe online.
W: But we don’t have coconut milk. Let’s save that for another day and make stir-fry instead.
4．A
【原文】M: Looks like it’s starting to pour. I didn’t bring an umbrella.
W: Me neither. Let’s wait inside this cafe until it lightens up a bit.
M: Good idea. I’ll order us some hot tea while we wait.
5．C
【原文】W: Your app, ReadFlow, has changed how I read news. It summarizes long articles into important points and even reads them aloud.
M: Thanks. Our aim is to reduce information overload. The audio function is especially for busy commuters.

6．A 7．B
【原文】W: Alex, we need to plan our company’s annual team building trip. It should be something fun and relaxing that helps everyone bond. Any great ideas

W: Thanks. It all started in our art class. We used to just make paper cutouts, but then our teacher introduced us to real leather shadow puppets. Now it’s a whole school project.
M: A school project You mean it’s not just an art club
W: Not anymore. I would say it has become a cross-curricular thing. In Chinese class, we write the scripts. In English class, we translate them into English for bilingual performances. In science, we learn how light and shadow work behind the puppet.
M: Translating scripts That sounds challenging, but cool.
W: It is. We’ve even performed for communities. The best part is we’re also using modern tech. Some students are trying to create digital picture books and control puppets with code. It’s all about keeping the tradition alive in new ways.

M: Well, the industry is changing. Besides traditional roles, there’s growing demand in areas like digital media, game design, and interactive experiences. Success now often depends on combining creativity, technical skills, and business sense.
W: What core abilities should we focus on building in school
M: First, solid visual expression and content planning skills are fundamental. Then, learn to support your creation with practical, rational thinking from real-world projects. Most importantly, in the age of AI, continuous learning is your best defense.

【原文】
W: Good morning. I’d like to spend a few minutes talking about something we rarely notice, yet it constantly shapes our memory of places: urban sound. Most of us can recall the smell of rain or the view from an old window. But what about the sound of a specific subway station or a particular morning market I’m a sound researcher. For the past 3 years, I’ve been collecting what I call “disappearing sounds.” In our city’s oldest districts, with a recorder, I capture the distinct sounds of traditional craftsmen at work. These sounds are not just background noise; they are the audio fingerprints of a way of life that’s disappearing. As workshops close or modernize, next Friday the City Museum will host an exhibition titled “Soundscapes of Memory.” I’ve been invited to give a free lecture then in the museum hall, explaining the process and playing some key samples. After the lecture, visitors will wear headphones and walk through spaces where they’ll hear these recorded sounds mixed with subtle narration, matching photos of the places and artisans. The free exhibition intends to create an experience to make the past heard through sounds. Now let’s listen to a short clip of one of the earliest sounds I recorded.

Dear Mr. Richard,
Thank you so much for inviting me to help organize the English Drama Festival. I am truly honored by your trust. However, I’m deeply sorry to say that I won’t be able to participate this time. Honestly speaking, I have to focus on preparing for the Gaokao, which is my top priority right now. It requires a lot of time and energy, so I can’t commit to other activities at the moment.
Your understanding will be greatly appreciated. I’m sure the event will be a great success.
Yours,

67．例文
Before she could feel happy about it, Jessie noticed a note stuck on the fridge. Sandra’s neat handwriting read: “Jessie, the mess really stressed me out. But I understand you’re occupied with your task. Can we just have a talk later ” Jessie’s fingers traced the edge of the note. The clean sink now felt like a quiet mirror reflecting her own thoughtlessness. A hot flush of shame crept up her neck. Jessie realized she had been so wrapped up in her own chaos that she’d turned their shared home into a stress zone for Sandra.
Feeling a mix of embarrassment and gratitude, Jessie knocked on Sandra’s door. As she opened the door, Jessie started “hey,” her voice smaller than she intended. “I saw the note. And the kitchen... I’m really sorry. Can you forgive me ” Hearing Jessie’s apology, Sandra put on a mild smile. They hugged, a long, tight one that melted the remaining tension. That night, they agreed that during future crazy deadlines, Jessie would try to contain the mess to one area, and Sandra would voice her annoyance early. The two girls once again withstood the test of their friendship.
