D plants listen t music? Hw can a plant pssibly respnd t music? Well, plants breathe thrugh their many muths, which are als knwn as stmata and it has been discvered that plant stmata respnd t music!
A few years ag, scientists at the University f Califrnia, San Dieg discvered what cntrls a plant’s stmata.The tw cells that frm the stma cnsist f specialized cells adjusted t the resnant(共鸣的)frequency f calcium(钙). When expsed t this frequency the stmata clse. Hwever, if the frequency isn’t exactly right the cells will pen again within an hur.This happens even if the cncentratin f calcium is high enugh that the stmata wuld nrmally clse.
When specific music r bird sngs cause the plant t vibrate(颤动), but nt at the exact frequency fr calcium resnance, the stmata will pen after a misjudgment f time, even thugh the plant wuld keep them clsed under nrmal circumstances.
Testing has shwn that a leaf fertilizer(肥料)applied t the plant will have mre effect n the develpment and grwth f the plant if its stmata are wide pen. This is quite lgical, because plants absrb the leaf fertilizer thrugh their stmata.Cmbinatins f frequency and leaf fertilizer are available fr many different crps. Hwever, if the stmata are frced t remain pen, the plant wn’t be able t cntrl the amunt f water lst and s it risks dehydratin(脱水). As a result, expsing plants t music fr ver 3 hurs a day culd endanger their health.There culd als be bad effects n plants if the vlume r frequency is t high.
It isn’t exactly clear hw music influences the develpment and grwth f plants, but mre and mre is being discvered abut resnance physics and we’re clser than ever t slid scientific prf and theries in this area. Maybe, in twenty years’ time peple will laugh if yu say plants dn’t have ears!
24．Why des the authr ask the questins in Paragraph 1?
A．T express his dubts.
B．T present different ideas.
C．T describe the lifestyle f plants.
D．T intrduce pints fr discussin.
25．What des the underlined wrd “This” in Paragraph 2 refer t?

D．The clsing f the stmata.
26．It call be inferred frm the text that .
A．future plants are likely t have ears
B．hw music affects plant grwth is widely knwn
C．grwers must be careful when expsing plants t music
D．the stmata dn’t affect the effect f leaf fertilizer n plants
27．Which can be the best title fr the text?

In his 1936 wrk Hw t Win Friends and Influence Peple, Dale Carnegie wrte: “I have cme t the cnclusin that there is nly ne way t get the best f an argument — and that is t avid it.” This distaste fr arguments is cmmn, but it depends n a mistaken view f arguments that causes prblems fr ur persnal and scial lives — and in many ways misses the pint f arguing in the first place.
Carnegie wuld be right if arguments were fights, which is hw we ften think f them. Like physical fights, verbal (言语的) fights can leave bth sides bldied. Even when yu win, yu end up n better ff. Yu wuld be feeling almst as bad if arguments were even just cmpetitins — like, say, tennis turnaments. Pairs f ppnents hit the ball back and frth until ne winner cmes ut frm all wh entered. Everybdy else lses. This kind f thinking explains why s many peple try t avid arguments.
Hwever, there are ways t win an argument every time. When yu state yur psitin, frmulate (阐述) an argument fr what yu claim and hnestly ask yurself whether yur argument is any gd. When yu talk with smene wh takes a stand, ask them t give yu a reasn fr their view and spell ut their argument fully. Assess its strength and weakness. Raise bjectins (异议) and listen carefully t their replies. This methd will require effrt, but practice will make yu better at it.
These tls can help yu win every argument — nt in the unhelpful sense f beating yur ppnents but in the better sense f learning abut what divides peple, learning why they disagree with us and learning t talk and wrk tgether with them. If we readjust ur view f arguments — frm a verbal fight r tennis game t a reasned exchange thrugh which we all gain respect and understanding frm each ther — then we change the very nature f what it means t “win” an argument.
28．What is the authr’s attitude tward Carnegie’s understanding f argument?
A．Critical.B．Supprtive.C．Tlerant.D．Uncertain.
29．Why d many peple try t avid arguments?
A．They lack debating skills.B．They may feel bad even if they win.
C．They fear being ignred.D．They are nt cnfident in themselves.
30．What des the underlined phrase “spell ut” in paragraph 3 prbably mean?
A．Defend.B．Explain.C．Cnclude.D．Repeat.
31．What is the key t “winning” an argument accrding t the authr?
A．Sense f lgic.B．Slid supprting evidence.
C．Prper manners.D．Understanding frm bth sides.
Peple’s tendency t fllw trends, especially n scial media, is definitely a cmmn phenmenn. What des psychlgy say abut trend fllwing and is there a way t break free frm the desire t fllw the newest craze?
Accrding t psychlgist Pamela Rut, fllwing trends desn’t fully shw character weakness. Rather, it is an entirely natural behavir fixed firmly int humans’ basic need t belng t a scial grup and establish cnnectins with thers.
Histrically, fllwing trends was critical fr ur survival. Archaelgists have uncvered evidence that early humans wrked tgether t transprt stne tls ver lng distances abut 2 millin years ag in what is nw Kenya—cperatin that allwed them t survive in a bad envirnment. And thugh fllwing a trend n scial media isn’t exactly as imprtant as utrunning a saber-tthed tiger (剑齿虎), human evlutin has prgrammed ur brains t be receptive t scial signals.
Anther cntributing factr the scial cgnitin (认知)—the prcesses that determine what we ntice and hw we respnd t thers—largely takes place in the parts f the brain that versee sight, pattern recgnitin, decisin-making, and similar functins. “Thanks t ur humans’ cmplex cgnitive systems, ur brains are really gd at identifying patterns and mtivating behavir that cmmunicates ur scial status. As a result, yu can use almst anything t signal yur membership r cnnectin with a scial grup. Giving ff the right scial signals lets thers knw which grup yu belng t r want t engage with and thse signals are mnitred and interpreted by thers. Referred t as identity signaling, these behavirs can range frm putting a bumper sticker n a car t selecting a brand f clthing,” said Rut.
Almst everyne fllws trends in scial grups, withut exceptin. Hwever, tweens, teens and yung adults are especially likely t fllw trends, including risky nes, due t their heightened desire fr acceptance and belnging amng peers. Therefre, it’s f great significance t guide them during their jurney twards maturity.
32．What des Rut think f fllwing trends?
A．Risky. B．Funny. C．Strange. D．Reasnable.
33．What is the hidden meaning f identity signaling?
A．A great thirst fr belnging. B．Blind pursuit f nvelty.
C．Gd taste in fashin industry. D．A true reflectin f persnality.
34．Which f the fllwing best summarizes the main idea f the passage?
A．Trend-fllwing is a harmful behavir that must be stpped.
B．Scial media makes trend-fllwing essential fr mdern survival.
C．Trend-fllwing is a natural human behavir driven by scial needs.
D．Trend-fllwing is an unchangeable human instinct prven by science.
35．What will the fllwing-up paragraph mst prbably discuss?
A．Insights int the cming trends. B．Tips n fllwing trends sensibly.
C．Psychlgy behind trend fllwing. D．Parental guidance in kids’ future jbs.
Creativity is here and there. We see it in the architecture f ur buildings, the design f everyday bjects like ur phnes, the clthes we wear, and the music we listen t. Being creative is enjyable and prductive. 36 S what can yu practically d t help develp yur creativity?
Practice regularly and cnsistently. It is extremely crucial. One persn wh shwed its imprtance was the artist Pabl Picass. He is famus fr creating daring new painting styles, but it wasn’t by accident. He spent years experimenting with the traditinal rules f art. 37
Learn frm thers t stimulate yur creativity. Yu can gain new insights and techniques by studying the wrks f ther artists, designers, r prfessinals. 38 Additinally, interacting with fellw creatives can prvide valuable feedback and supprt, helping yu t grw and develp yur skills.
Wrk in a field yu lve t be creative. 39 Thus, chse a field yu enjy rather than smething yu feel yu ught t d. Then enjyment becmes the reward, which in turn mtivates yu t keep being creative. If yu knw yur field inside ut yu will have the cnfidence t take risks and allw yur creativity t blssm.
40 Frm techniques that allw yur mind t think mre riginally, t learning frm past creative masters, there are practical ways t help yu use yur imaginatin t create smething riginal. If yu direct yur energy thughtfully, yu can learn t be mre creative.
A．Unlck yur wn creativity.
B．Apply creativity in all areas f life.
C．This can invlve attending wrkshps r reading bks.
D．Yu are mre mtivated by lve f what yu d than else.
E．Creativity is an essential engine that drives prgress in every field.
F．Fr sme f us, it cmes naturally; hwever, thers might need help.
G．He prduced grund-breaking wrks like Les Demisellesd’ Avignn in the end.

Every day n my way t cllege, I meet the same wman. Her curage and tughness quietly 41 me. She wrks nights at a hspital, 42 attending t patients. After her lng hurs, she walks nearly 12 kilmeters t reach hme because she cannt 43 daily transprtatin. Watching her 44 was heartbreaking, and I knew I had t d smething, even if it was small.
One day, I ffered her a 45 . Her eyes lit up with relief, and a sft, grateful smile spread acrss her face. Since then, giving her a ride has becme part f my daily 46 . Fr me, it takes just a few minutes; fr her, it saves hurs f walking and 47 her tired, aching legs.
Every mrning, she gives me her best wishes, her vice full f 48 : “May yu have everything yu dream f.” Her wrds tuch me deeply and stay with me thrughut the day. Over time, ur rides have 49 mre than just a cmmute (通勤) — they have becme a small, shared mment f human cnnectin.
I’ve realized that even small 50 can create a ripple (涟漪) f psitivity. She gains cmfrt and 51 , and I gain perspective, gratitude, and the jy f making a difference. Smetimes, life ffers us chances nt just t mve frward urselves but t 52 smene alng the way — and in thse mments, bth lives becme fuller.
Kindness desn’t have t be grand — it can live in daily, 53 actins. And when we pen ur hearts, even in small ways, what we receive can ften 54 what we give. When we help smene, even in a small way, the ripple f 55 spreads far beynd what we can see.

四、语法填空
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Technlgy has transfrmed the way peple express 56 (they) and maintain relatinships ver the past decade. While it has made cmmunicatin faster and easier, sme experts believe that it may als make individuals feel mre 57 (cnnect) than ever befre.
A recent survey shwed that nearly half f yung peple spend mre than five hurs a day 58 scial media. They can pst pictures and send messages instantly. Hwever, many f them still experience lneliness and 59 (anxius). Psychlgists pint ut that nline interactins, 60 appear scial, can never fully take the place f real-life cmmunicatin.
Yet technlgy itself is nt 61 (blame). Everything depends n hw we make use f it. Fr instance, vide calls allw family members t stay clse even when 62 (separate) by ceans. Educatinal apps give students in remte regins access t learning resurces 63 (previus) ut f reach.
The secret 64 (lie) in finding a balance between nline cntact and real-wrld cnnectin. Peple shuld learn t manage screen time wisely and fcus n develping genuine emtinal bnds.
After all, technlgy is 65 means — it shuld unite peple, nt distance them.

When I was in elementary schl, I wasn’t very gd at sprts. I was always the last t be picked fr teams, and I never wn a race. I thught being slw and weak made me a failure. But ne day, my P. E. teacher, Mr Harris, said smething that changed my mind. He had been watching me struggle during a running drill, and after the class, he came ver t talk t me.
“Yu may nt be the fastest,” he said, “but yu have smething even mre imprtant. Yu dn’t give up.” I didn’t really understand what he meant at the time. Hw culd nt quitting be better than winning? In my mind, if yu weren’t first, then yu lst. But Mr Harris kept encuraging me. He tld me that winning wasn’t everything and that smetimes trying hard and nt giving up was even mre valuable.
At first, I didn’t believe him, but then he suggested I start practicing a little every day after schl. “Dn’t fcus n becming the fastest,” he said. “Just fcus n imprving, even if it’s a little bit each day.” I decided t give it a try, althugh I wasn’t sure it wuld make a difference. I began running arund the track after schl, ne lap, then tw, slwly increasing my endurance. Over the next few weeks, I nticed small changes. I culd run lnger withut getting tired, and I was imprving, even if I wasn’t winning yet.
As the schl’s annual race day apprached, I wndered if I shuld sign up. I still wasn’t fast enugh t win, but Mr Harris encuraged me nce mre. “The race isn’t abut being first,” he reminded me. “It’s abut shwing what yu can d when yu dn’t give up. That’s real success.”

Fr just ten bucks, they swapped the brken screen fr a recycled ne. When they handed it back, my “brken” phne felt brand-new. That night, I used my fixed phne t film my little sister’s dance recital. One small repair saved me hundreds f dllars, and let me hld nt a precius memry. S maybe this Black Friday taught me smething: the real upgrade isn’t the newest mdel.

66． Green Campus Week: A Meaningful Practice
Last week, ur schl successfully held the “Green Campus Week” t raise envirnmental awareness.
The event included varius activities such as waste srting guidance, used item recycling, and campus cleaning. Students actively participated in cllecting recyclables and cleaning up the schlyard. They als learned hw t classify different types f waste crrectly.
The activity was highly praised by bth students and teachers. Many said they nt nly gained practical knwledge but als felt a sense f achievement in cntributing t a greener campus. We believe this event will inspire everyne t cntinue prtecting the envirnment in daily life.
67．One pssible versin:
A few days later, I signed up fr the race. On the race day, I std nervusly at the starting line, surrunded by faster runners. As expected, when the race started, the thers sped ahead f me. Abut halfway thrugh the curse, ne f the fastest runners tripped and fell. Withut thinking, I stpped running and helped him get back n his feet. “Keep ging, dn’t wrry abut me,” he said, but I stayed with him. We crssed the finish line tgether, much slwer than everyne else, but we finished side by side.
After the race, I went t see Mr Harris. He smiled when he saw me and said, “What yu did tday was mre imprtant than winning.” At first, I didn’t understand. I didn’t win the race, after all. But he explained, “Yu helped smene, and that’s smething far greater than crssing the finish line first.” At that mment, I realized he was right. The race wasn’t just abut speed; it was abut determinatin and cmpassin. That day, I learned that real success cmes frm the heart, nt frm a gld medal.Elephant ReserveCuntry: Thailand
