In April, when much f the U. S. is cvered in bright daffdils and pink buds, my Nrthern Clrad garden is filled with dry flwer stalks(茎秆).
I live in a twn where the cld lasts lnger, and the brwn stalks in my garden leave me feeling ut f step. But many landscape design suggest maintaining stands f dried flwers and grasses t give the eye cnsistent pleasure thrugh the winter. In my yard, I left the sunflwers, rudbeckia stalks and side-ats grama. After the killing frsts and snw in cld mnths, these “winter interest” stands ffer variatins f height, clr and texture(质感) against the seasn's leveling gray-white. In February and March, I was grateful t have smething t lk at besides the piles f snw.
These plants I' ve let stand, thugh, d mre than please my eyes. The tw-t-eight-ft stalks have frmed smething like a fishing net, catching fallen leaves and pulling them clse t the sil. Blankets f leaves nw cver the grund, prviding a habitat fr pllinatrs(传粉昆虫) alng with their eggs and larvae(幼虫). This als regulates the sil's temperature especially with snw n the grund. With this prtectin, plants aren't tricked by early sunlight int spruting(发芽) t sn and being buried by snw.
The pet Adrienne Rich nce wrte, “All new learning lks at first like chas(混乱).”Here in the garden, I' ve learned that chas prvides mre pssibilities fr grwth. I lve watching the early birds mve thrugh the brwn stalks in ur side yard, selecting lng nes fr their nests. The garden has taught me t embrace chas, lk beynd it and find hpe.
Sn enugh, it will becme warm. Then I' ll walk thrugh the garden and tear ut last year's grwth t make rm fr the kind f splendr expected in a flwer garden. But fr nw, I' ll watch the birds gather nesting material frm the still-standing grasses and take cmfrt in knwing that the dying plant material I' ve left behind prtects the bees and butterflies that will sn help bring beauty int this wrld.
24. What did the authr d with the dried stalks in her garden?
A. Leave them as they were.

D Replace them with seasnal flwers.
25. Which is clsest in meaning t the underlined wrd “leveling” in paragraph 2?
A. Uneven.B. Bring.

Brn between the mid-1990s and early 2010s, Gen Z is ften labelled as “digital natives”. Therefre, it may cme as a surprise that Gen Z is turning away frm screens and heading utdrs. Frm frest bathing t camping trips, mre yung adults are embracing nature as part f their lives.
Digital burnut is driving change. Gen Z spends mre time nline than any ther generatin, with daily screen time averaging 6—9 hurs. Accrding t a recent survey by Pew Research Centre, ver 60% f Gen Z respndents reprted feeling verwhelmed by the pressures f staying digitally cnnected. Therefre, nature ffers an escape. Fr Gen Z, being utdrs isn't just leisure, it's a frm f essential self-care.
Irnically, the very platfrms driving digital burnut are nw fuelling nature engagement. Scial media is nt just part f the prblem but it's als part f the slutin Ppular hashtags such as # Hiking,# IceBathing,# RunningClubs, and # VanLife have received billins f views nline. Health and lifestyle influencers share experiences f these activities, reframing(重新界定) nature as desirable and accessible. Althugh access t nature is still limited by safety cncerns, cst, and urban density, Gen Z is adapting as best as they can. Frm sharing equipment t jining utdr clubs, they' re finding creative ways t use public spaces.
Recnnecting with nature is als driven by envirnmental values. Frm ec- turism t zer- waste hiking, Gen Z appraches utdr time with purpse. Gen Z is reshaping glbal mvements, using scial media t spread climate advcacy and redefine sustainable living. This generatin is embracing utdr experiences that are lw- cst, lw- tech, and deeply fulfilling. Amngst all these activities, running clubs and scial fitness events have explded in ppularity.
With a grwing number f Gen Z passinate abut spending time utdrs, it's evident that many are turning t nature t restre balance, fster cnnectin, and cntribute t a healthier wrld.
28. What d the numbers in paragraph 2 shw?
A. Gen Z's screen use is steadily declining.
B. Few Gen Z individuals feel affected by digital pressure.
C. Gen Z's heavy nline engagement is linked t mental stress.
D. Outdr activities have largely replaced nline habits fr Gen Z.

C. It discurages Gen Z frm participating in cstly utdr sprts.
D. It bth cntributes t burnut and mtivates utdr invlvement.
30. What can be inferred frm paragraph 4?
A. Online platfrms advcate ec- turism.
B. Gen Z has strng envirnmental awareness.
C. Engaging in utdr activities is challenging.
D. Scial fitness events require high- end equipment.
31. What d we knw abut Gen Z's attitude tward nature r utdr activities?

My father started learning French at 57, drawn by the ptential benefits f bilingualism in delaying dementia(失智症). Nw, 20 years later, he's n his third teacher. Many peple like my father have attempted t pick up a new language. But can this really bst brain health?
' Accrding t experts, regularly using a new language brings cgnitive(认知的) benefits. If yu' re trying t recall the right wrds in anther language, yur brain is frced t inhibit yur mther tngue. Yu just can't let yur first language “take ver”. This prcess, called cgnitive inhibitin, helps imprve yur brain functin. Repeating this prcess makes yur brain mre resistant t diseases like dementia. The mre yu challenge yur brain, the better it functins, even if yur brain health starts t decline
Hwever, evidence fr the benefits f learning a secnd language in yur 60s is weaker. Research by Dr. Le Antniu fund that lder Italians wh tk English lessns fr fur mnths didn't see any difference in their cgnitin scres, but peple wh didn't saw their scres decline. Prf. Diana Smith's 2023 studies fund similar results.
Researchers ffered a few ptential explanatins fr their disappinting results One is that the participants were highly mtivated vlunteers, prbably f high cgnitive level fr their age, making it hard t see any imprvements. “When chsing participants, we have t be careful. Are they really typical f the ppulatin?” said Dr. Judith Ware. Anther is that the language interventins(干预) were perhaps t shrt. These studies have used language lessns that “were very different in their length and frequency”, said Prf. Laura Grssman.
T Dr. Antniu, the limited findings are nt entirely surprising. N ne wuld say that learning a new language fr six mnths wuld be the same as having used tw languages fr yur entire life. But he des think that language lessns can prvide cgnitive benefits by being cgnitively stimulating.
Perhaps mre imprtant, Prf. Grssman said, learning anther language ffers ther ptential advantages, like traveling r cnnecting with new cmmunities. My father, fr example, has remained pen friends with his first teacher and traveled t France numerus times.
And at 76, he's as sharp as ever.
32. What happens in the prcess f “cgnitive inhibitin”?
A. Memry imprves.B. Brain health wrsens.
C Dementia is cured.D. Native language is held back.
33. Which is a pssible explanatin fr the disappinting research results?
A The interventin f the first language.
B. The great length f the language curse.
C. The pr chice f research participants.
D. The age difference f the research subjects.
34. Whse pinin des the authr supprt by mentining his father's experience?
A. Le Antniu's.B. Diana Smith's.
C. Judith Ware's.D. Laura Grssman's.
35、 Which f the fllwing is a suitable title fr the text?
A. Is It Never T Late T Learn A New Language?
B. Can Learning A New Language Delay Dementia?
C Why Des My Father Start Learning A New Language?
D. Hw Des Learning A New Language Benefit An Aging Brain?

37 There's a lt f debate, and it seems that there is n general agreement n exactly why it is that everything happens at dawn.. One pssibility is that weather cnditins at dawn make it easier fr birdsng t travel. 38 Sund is als carried mre clearly when humidity(湿度) is higher s that details f the sng d nt degrade as much ver distance. It may als be that in the mrning, after the night has passed, male birds want t infrm their cmpetitrs that they' re still there, claiming their territry.
Witnessing the dawn chrus can be a rewarding experience, and this phenmenn can als help scientists wrk n bird cnservatin. 39 Fr example, scientists recrd the dawn chrus t understand which species live in an area, r hw ppulatins are changing.
Frtunately, anyne can listen t it. This spring, just wake up early, bring a cup f cffee, head ut int nature, and stand still and listen. 40 It's the mst natural sundtrack n Earth, which is just s wnderful.
A. These birds sing luder t be heard.
B. What makes birdsng much luder in the mrning?
C. It's better t d sme research n hw birds sing and hum
D. But why birds sing in the early mrning is still an pen questin.
E. Generally, sund travels farther when the air is cler and denser.
F. Yu dn't need t knw hw t identify bird calls r sngs t just appreciate them.
G. Listening t birdsng is a windw int the health f the species and the ecsystem.

As they came in my directin, I put n my brightest and happiest smile. I handed each persn a bwl f salad, greeting them gently with "Enjy yur meal". T my surprise, mst f them replied with warm smiles and sincere thanks. An ld man even praised the salad, saying it was the mst delicius he'd had in weeks. A little girl held ut her dirty hand and gave me a candy, which made my heart melt. I chatted briefly with sme f them, listening t their simple stries. They weren't dangerus at all; they were just peple in need f kindness.
I was s happy that I had earned my service hurs in this way. This experience changed my views cmpletely. I used t take my cmfrtable life fr granted, but nw I realize hw lucky I am. It taught me t be mre grateful and cmpassinate. Serving thse in need didn't just help me graduate; it made me a better persn. I decided t vlunteer at the sup kitchen regularly, nt just fr hurs, but t give back t the cmmunity. It's truly rewarding t bring warmth t thers thrugh small acts f kindness.
