By my mid-20s, I'd finished my master in psychology, and I was working in Dublin as a health researcher. It was mostly data and statistics work staring at a screen. I was earning more than most of my friends, living the city life, going out at weekends. I had a good pension (养老金)and annual leave but it caused a lot of anxiety and worry. I was really unhappy.
I wanted to get back to feeling passionate about something so I started thinking about the things I used to love. As a child, I'd always been involved in the outdoors, and I used to love hiking but all that had stopped after secondary school. I decided to volunteer with a local youth group and within a month, I'd gone camping with them. I absolutely loved it. It was like switching on a lightbulb. This was what I'd been missing.
I started taking courses in mountain skills and wilderness first aid, and by August I was working my usual job in the week, and I was a climbing club leader at weekends. I loved connecting with nature, connecting with other people.
Through all this, I learnt about the whole field of nature-based therapies (疗法). It was the perfect fit to combine my psychology background with my passion for the outdoors. I began taking courses in wild therapy, forest bathing and ecopsychology. I left my government job and in July 2020 I launched my business Nature Therapy Ireland, which is booming now.
I'd thought I'd always live in a city but last year, I moved to Tipperary to live at the foot of a mountain, surrounded by nature. If I'm feeling stressed, I can step outside in my bare feet and stand on the grass to ground myself. In Dublin, the front door felt like a barrier-I had to have my keys, my phone, my jacket before I could even go out and find a green space. My life now is leading nature connection hikes and forest bathing walks. My salary has halved for the moment but I've adjusted. I've never looked back.
24. What did the writer think of her job in Dublin?
A. Stressful.
B. Valueless.
C. Insecure.
D. Demanding.
25. What does the underlined sentence mean in paragraph 2?
A. She enjoyed her voluntary work.
B. She realized what she really loved.
C. Recalling the past made her happy.
D. A bright future was in store for her.
26. What drove the writer to launch her business Nature Therapy Ireland?
A. Her adventurous experience.
B. Her leadership and background.
C. Her connection with other people.
D. Her major and passion for nature.
27. Why did the writer compare her life in Dublin with that in Tipperary?
A. To highlight how boring city life was.
B. To call on people to get back to nature.
C. To show her satisfaction with her change.
D. To indicate how successful her business was.
C
Animals can adapt quickly to survive unfavorable environmental conditions. Evidence is mounting to show that plants can, too. A paper publishing in the journal Trends in Plant Science details how plants are rapidly adapting to the effects of climate change, and how they are passing down these adaptations to their offspring (后代).
Plants are facing more environmental stresses than ever. For example, climate change is making winters shorter in many locations, and plants are responding. Many plants require a minimum period of cold in order to set up their environmental clock to define their flowering time,” says Martinelli, a plant geneticist at the University of Florence. “As cold seasons shorten, plants have adapted to require shorter periods of cold to delay flowering. These mechanisms allow plants to avoid flowering in periods when they have fewer opportunities to reproduce."
Because plants don't have neural (神经的) networks, their memory is based entirely on cellular(细胞的),molecular(分子的)and biochemical networks. These networks make up what the researchers call somatic memory(体细胞记忆). It allows plants to recognize the occurrence of a previous environmental condition and to react accordingly," says Martinelli.
These somatic memories can then be passed to the plants' offspring via epigenetics (表现遗传). “Several examples demonstrate the existence of molecular mechanisms modulating plant memory to environmental stresses and affecting the adaptation of offspring to these stresses,” says Martinelli.
Going forward, Martinelli hopes to understand even more about the genes that are being passed down. We are particularly interested in decoding the epigenetic alphabet without changes in DNA sequence (序列), he says, "This is especially important when we consider the rapid climate change we observe today that every living organism, including plants, needs to quickly adapt to survive.”
28. What adaptations have plants made to shortened cold seasons?
A. They have shortened their flowering time.
B. They have got more chances to reproduce.
C. They have avoided flowering in cold seasons.
D. They have adjusted their environmental clock.
29. What can we learn about somatic memory?
A. It is entirely based on neural networks.
B. It can help the plants' offspring to survive.
C. It can help relieve environmental stresses.
D. It disturbs the plants' biochemical networks.
30. What does the underlined word" modulating" mean in paragraph 4?
A. Adjusting.
B. Treasuring.
C. Recording.
D. Sharing.
31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Plants are smart about flowering time
B. Plants can also adapt to climate change
C. Environmental stresses challenge plants
D. Mysteries of plant genes are to be unfolded
D
This year, in March, I jumped into a heated pool in California to meet a dolphin named
Delle. As I approached her, Delle turned towards me and became playful, greeting me by splashing me with her beak. Delighted, I reached out to pat her shiny skin. It felt rubbery, which was the main giveaway that Delle the dolphin was a robot.
Just as fake(假的)animals are becoming very realistic, it's becoming increasingly less acceptable to use live animals for entertainment purposes. Documentaries like Blackfish (2013) and The Cove (2009) have exposed some of the horrific treatment and suffering of ocean mammals. The resulting public protest has made aquariums(水族馆) controversial, attracting less visitors.
Arguably, entertaining people with captive (圈养的) animals is vital for animal conservation. Many zoos and aquariums actively try to promote conservation efforts by providing educational experiences and encouraging interest in the natural world. This type of entertainment is useful, because it inspires people to care. At first, this seems like a reason to avoid replacing the animals with technology. However，research in the rapid-developed field of human-robot interaction is showing astonishing results on engagement with robots that can imitate lifelike behavior. When physically interactive, robots attract a lot of attention. People tend to treat them like they’re alive, even though they know perfectly well they're just
machines.
If we start to replace the animals in our theme parks with machines, will this trend decrease our wonder for the natural world? A bunch of people expressed negative gut reactions(本能反应)after I posted video of the robot dolphin on Twitter And yet, I don't believe that using this robot animals will cause us to forget the worth of living creatures.
32. Why does the author mention Delle in paragraph 1?
A. To share a special experience.
B. To promote rubbery dolphins.
C. To draw attention to robot animals.
D. To describe a dolphin performance.
33. What can we learn about live animals in zoos?
A. They are cruelly treated.
B. They make zoos popular.
C. They are well entertained.
D. They deserve conservation.
34. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Reasons for replacing animals with robots.
B. Benefits of entertaining people with robots.
C. Research results on interaction with robots.
D. Public concerns over engagement with robots.
35. What's the author's attitude to replacing animals with machines?
A. Favorable.
B. Intolerant.
C. Doubtful.
D. Unclear.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的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。
Many people lead busy lives and think they barely have time to work out every day. 36______ They are short workouts that often involve high-intensity(高强度的) exercises. Here we explore some reasons to do micro workouts.
Require Less of a Time Commitment
Committing to exercising for a certain amount of time per week can be difficult, especially when you do not have the time or motivation to work out for an extended period. Micro workouts are good alternatives. They take up only 10 to 30 minutes of your day. Many people spend much longer scrolling through social media each day. 37______
Make Scheduling Workouts Easier
It can be challenging to commit the time needed to exercise every day, but it can also be hard to fit a workout into a tight schedule. However, a study suggests that it may be possible. 38______ For example, walking your dog, using the stairs, parking farther away from a destination, or walking during your lunch break are all ways you can try.
Need No Equipment
Investing in expensive home gym equipment can be a real burden. When you decide to do micro workouts, though, you don't need a bunch of equipment. 39______ For example, you may choose to do steps on your stairs, run on the spot, or even do some star jumps. Since you can choose what type of workout you'd prefer to do, it means that you can exercise whenever you please.
40______ Now that you know all about micro workouts, you can add them to your day. Get as creative as you please and think about the types of movements that suit you. You never know-it might just boost your health and wellness.
A. Ready to get moving?
B. You just fit it into your routine.
C. Fitness should be simple and convenient.
D. So it should be a relatively easy time commitment.
E. If you feel this way, you may be interested in micro workouts.
F. Can micro workouts give the same benefits as longer workout sessions?
G. Instead, you can use things around your home to empower your workout.

第二节(满分25分)
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。
Sista raced ahead, the sea breeze streaming against her face. Rafi finally caught up and then they rested in the shade.
“Now I'm hungry. I know where there's a great apple tree." Sista said, "It belongs to an old lady called Susan who lives in the little house by the hill. | heard she's stubborn, but that sometimes she gives fruit in return for an errand(跑腿).”
“Let's go," Rafi said. They crossed a stream by hopping from rock to rock. Finally, upon a hilltop, they saw a splendid apple tree with bright red fruits.
A small farmhouse stood at the bottom of the hill. Rafi's heart pounded as Sista knocked on the door. An elderly woman answered.
“Yes?" the lady asked, staring at the girls.
“We heard... said Sista, her voice shaky," that we could run an errand for you in exchange for apples.'
Susan raised one eyebrow." Ah, yes. "She clicked her tongue. "Nothing is free, eh?"
She led the girls into the kitchen. When passing the living room, Sista found that the wall was decorated with colorful crayon drawings, which seemed to be children's. She wondered who drew these since Susan was alone, with no grandchildren, even no families or relatives. The lady grabbed two baskets, one large and one small, and pushed them into the girls' hands." Go fill these with apples. Come right back."
The girls raced up the hill to the tree, climbed the branches, and picked the ripest apples. After filling the baskets, they returned to the house.
Susan filled a bag with rice and dried beans, and then she handed it to Sista. "Take this bag and the large basket of apples to the Gomez family. Do you know them?"
The girls nodded. Sista had heard that Mr. Gomez has been sick in bed for a long time and Mrs. Gomez has to raise three little kids.
“Good. And ask them for the payment,” Susan added with a tight smile.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The girls hit the road.

When Susan opened the envelope, the girls saw the payment!

A Traditional Chinese Culture Week
A traditional Chinese culture week campaign was launched last week in our school to enhance students' confidence in our national culture.
During the campaign, we students were encouraged to participate in numerous cultural activities, including singing Chinese folk songs, attending Chinese calligraphy classes and introducing traditional Chinese festivals. Every one of us chose one to our taste and we enjoyed ourselves very much.
The campaign is a success and has gained in popularity among us students, which will encourage us to further spread Chinese culture in future.

One possible version:
The girls hit the road. All the way, the girls wrestled with the bag and the large basket of apples. "What a heavy basket!", they complained. Finally, they arrived at the Gomez home, sweating like a pig. Mrs. Gomez answered the door. The girls held up the food and said, “This is from Susan." Mrs. Gomez replied, “Thank you." Rafi looked down. “She said to ask you for the payment, too." Mrs. Gomez handed Sista a large sealed envelope stuffed very full. Back at the farmhouse, the girls immediately handed Susan the envelope.
When Susan opened the envelope. the girls saw the payment" Beautiful!" She began taping the crayon drawings to the wall. Rafi and Sista broke out in smiles, now knowing that what Mrs. Gomez has done was actually not a deal but a favor for the family. After Susan finished, she joined the girls again.' "And here's your payment," she said, handing the small basket of apples to the girls. As they walked home, Rafi and Sista enjoyed their treat. The juice was as sweet and warm as the feeling they had inside.
