The Parks Cnservancy’s cmmunity science prgrams cmbine landscape-scale science with cmmunity engagement. Cmmunity members participate in large-scale studies t list and mnitr species and ecsystems in the parks, helping t fill gaps in ur knwledge abut ur lcal envirnment. These prgrams are als an pprtunity fr vlunteers t learn new skills and t cnnect t lcal public lands thrugh participatin in science.
Prgrams include:
*Glden Gate Raptr Observatry — a prgram f the Glden Gate Natinal Parks Cnservancy in cperatin with the Natinal Park Service t inspire the preservatin f Califrnia raptr ppulatins.
*Marin Wildlife Watch — a muntain wide study using mtin-activated cameras t mnitr mammal ppulatins.
*Tamalpais Bee Lab — an inventry f wild bees n public lands thrughut Marin Cunty.
*Califrnia Giant Salamander Inventry — dcumenting this mysterius species’ ppulatin thrugh crwd-surced data.
All the wrk is dne in partnership with ur agency partners, academic institutins, and nnprfit cnservatin rganizatins. When yu participate in ne f ur prgrams, yu get t learn new skills and cntribute t these imprtant bdies f knwledge abut the wrld.

We sat at a riverside restaurant n the Willamette River, enjying spaghetti and watching Christmas bats pass. “Isn’t this the best evening ever?” I said, grasping my husband’s hand. We seldm ate ut, and the sight f the festive bats added a tuch f magic.
Smiling and chatting, we stretched the dinner ut t nearly tw hurs, ending it with shared chclate cake. I almst danced t get my cat — a black wl ne given t me by my daughter.
I reached fr the nly black cat n the rack (架子) and put it n. Wait, what? It reached belw my ankle, nt my knee. And I guessed it t be a size 16, nt my 8. Blinking back tears, I left my number with the hstess, sure the mix-up wuld sn be crrected. But n call came that night, nr the next day. Heartsick, I hung the t-big cat in the clset, still waiting.
Mnths later, anther freezing night, my husband and I were getting ready t g t friends fr dinner. I pulled the cat ff its hanger, pursing my lips abut my lst cat.
“Ww!” Penny, an ld friend, exclaimed as sn as we walked in. “Very classic,” said Missy, the hstess. I arched an eyebrw. “Yu’re kidding. It’s fur sizes t big.” I nearly launched int the whle stry, but their wrds stpped me. Fr the first time I lked at the cat mre carefully and nticed the fine label. I frwned. Did I need an attitude adjustment? What if I was psitive instead f negative abut my unplanned acquisitin?
Instead f cmplaining, I asked myself what I needed t d with this cat in rder t enjy it. I had it altered by a wman frm church free f charge. The fllwing week, the temperature drpped sharply. As I gathered this altered cat t step int the car, I recalled the cat my daughter gave me, but this ne was nearly as warm — and, as Missy said, a classic. Nw I wear it with pleasure.
4. What can be inferred abut the authr frm the first tw paragraphs?

Buildings and cnstructin cntribute t ver 37% f glbal carbn emissins (排放), which include bth peratinal emissins (frm heating, cling, and lighting) and embdied carbn (frm building materials and cnstructin activities). Retrfitting existing buildings —especially deep retrfits — can significantly cut these emissins while als imprving health, cmfrt, and reducing lng-term energy csts fr residents.
Envirnmental scientist Diana Ürge-Vrsatz emphasizes that deep retrfits reduce heating and cling energy use by 80-90%. Unlike minr upgrades, such as replacing windws r drs, deep retrfits invlve a cmplete redesign f insulatin, windws, air sealing, and ventilatin systems. This “whle-building” apprach treats the structure as an integrated system. Research shws that, in additin t saving energy, deep retrfits lead t cleaner indr air, fewer allergens, and lwer rates f respiratry illness.
T meet internatinal climate targets, the Eurpean Unin aims t cut building-related emissins sharply by 2050. Ürge-Vrsatz argues that strng funding is essential since the csts are t high fr mst individuals. She recmmends using funds frm fssil fuels t supprt energy-efficient upgrades. Reducing unnecessary new cnstructin — especially f luxury hmes — and reusing existing buildings are als crucial strategies.
Anther key fcus is using bibased insulatin materials, made frm fast-grwing plants such as hemp, straw, r even seaweed like Psidnia, which nt nly reduce dependence n fssil fuels but als have the ptential t stre carbn and release fewer txins (毒素). Hwever, their supply is limited, and harvesting them sustainably causes challenges.
T better understand the envirnmental impacts f building materials, Ürge-Vrsatz and her team use life cycle assessments, which evaluate the ttal impact f materials frm prductin t end-f-life. Thugh cmplex, these tls help builders and plicymakers make infrmed chices. Ürge-Vrsatz cncludes that deep retrfits cmbined with sustainable materials are never ptinal. “Will we manage it? That’s nt the questin,” she says. “We have t. The future is always in ur hands.”
8. What des “deep retrfit” mainly invlve?
A. Cnstructin f new hmes.B. Additin f decrative materials.
C. Windw and dr replacement.D. Energy saving and system upgrade.
9. What prbably makes fr the realizatin f “deep retrfits”?
A. Bringing in investment.B. Cnstructing luxury huses.
C. Aviding existing buildings.D. Using fssil fuels efficiently.
10. What is the main difficulty f using bibased materials?
A. Heavy txicity.B. Fast grwth.
C. Unstable surcing.D. Carbn strage.
11. What des Ürge-Vrsatz imply in the last paragraph?
A. Life cycle assessments are simple tls.
B. Deep retrfits shuld be put int practice.
C. Life cycle assessments require wise chices.
D. Deep retrfits will encunter many difficulties.

As human species, ur big brains and flexible hands have always made us feel special. Hwever, in a study published in the jurnal Cmmunicatins Bilgy, researchers investigated nearly 100 primate species including mnkeys, apes and humans and revealed that the creatures with lnger thumbs (拇指) usually had larger brains.
The researchers assumed that ur ancestrs first evlved (进化) hand flexibility, which then prmted the develpment f a larger brain. Fr instance, as primates’ cntrl f bjects imprved, their brains wuld have had t becme bigger t use these abilities, Janna Baker, lead authr f the study said. “Ultimately, thugh, the tw needed t g hand in hand,” she adds.
While Baker and her clleagues predicted that lnger thumbs wuld be tied t grwth f the cerebellum — the part f the brain that influences mvement and crdinatin (协调), the team was surprised t find that they are actually assciated with the necrtex, a large regin invlved in cgnitin and sensry infrmatin. This suggests that lnger thumbs are “linked t thinking, nt mvement.” Later, they tested the idea that the evlutin f lnger thumbs is assciated with tl use, but they didn’t find any crrelatin.
Ultimately, “we’ve always knwn that ur big brains and sharp fingers set us apart, but nw we can see they didn’t evlve separately,” Baker says. The study suggests ur species is nt quite as unique as we nce thught, and it als represents the first direct evidence that brain evlutin and hand flexibility are assciated thrughut the primate family tree.
Ftis Alexandrs Karakstis, a bilgical anthrplgist wh was nt invlved in the study, cmments that the research indicates that adaptatins t the brain and hand likely evlved tgether. Hwever, he ntes that the brain size and thumb length cannt take nly credit fr the brain evlutin r high level f hand crdinatin.
12. What was the assumptin f the researchers accrding t paragraph 2?
A. Brain evlutin determined hand size.
B. Bigger brains made humans intelligent.
C. Object cntrl was easy fr ancestrs.
D. Hand flexibility drve brain develpment.
13. Why des the authr mentin “tl use” in paragraph 3?
A. T make a predictin.B. T clarify a cncept.
C. T present a different view.D. T ffer supprting evidence.
14. What is Karakstis’ attitude twards the research?
A. Favurable.B. Objective.C. Dubtful.D. Indifferent.
15. What is the main idea f the text?
A. The bigger the brain, the lnger the thumb.
B. Big brains and sharp fingers set humans apart.
C. Primate brains and thumbs evlve tgether.
D. Evlutin mainly depends n brains and hands.

With every step, my legs trembled like a newbrn calf’s, exhausted frm scrambling up the rcks. My mind was filled with self-dubt — I was t verweight, t weak, and a ttal fl fr attempting this struggle. After climbing nly ne hur, I felt wrn ut, physically and mentally, and wanted t turn back.
I tld the guide staying with me at the back that I culdn’t g any further. His wrds were simple but struck a chrd, “That desn’t sund like yu. Keep ging. Yu can d it.” I dn’t knw why, but smething in his tne made me turn arund. With renewed reslve, I placed ne ft slwly in frnt f the ther.
By the time I reached the first rest pint, mst fellw climbers had already left. I hurried t drink and eat, anxius nt t fall further behind. Sitting alne n a cld rck in the darkness, a deep wave f disappintment washed ver me. Nine mnths earlier, I had prmised t change my life and prve anything was pssible. But here, at 2 a.m., after three hurs f climbing, I felt I had cmpletely verestimated myself.
This thught sparked a familiar anger, ne that had nce ruled my life. But nw, instead f letting it cnsume me, I wuld let it fuel me. This wasn’t just a climb between the muntain and me but als a prf f my rebirth. Suddenly I std up, lked at the guide and said, “I’ll keep ging.” Thugh dubt flashed in his eyes, my reslutin was abslute.
That was when my tears started. I cried nt nly frm exhaustin but frm the weight f my prmise and the pressure. I hid my face under my hd (兜帽) and snd (围脖) and pushed n. I stumbled and fell cuntless times, tears freezing n my cheeks. Fr the next few hurs, I climbed ver snw-cvered rcks, laughing bitterly at the absurd struggle and endlessly repeating t myself: just ne mre step.
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150个左右；
（2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Arund 6:00 a.m., I saw sme climbers heading back dwn.
