A
Climate change culd have large impacts n fd prductin acrss the wrld. Rising temperatures might bst crp prductin in cld regins but negatively impact prductin in warmer areas. Wheat and rice-which benefit frm mre CO2 in the atmsphere-culd see grwing utput, while crn and srghum(高粱) culd see a decline with warmer temperatures.
Farmers can adjust their practices t a warmer climate in fur key ways:
A recent study by experts mdeled three adaptatin methds-changing WHAT, changing WHEN and changing bth f them. The chart belw shws their impact n the utput f crn, rice, srghum, sybean(大豆) and wheat.

☐Changing bth WHAT and WHEN ☐Changing WHAT nly
☐Changing WHEN nly
These three adaptatin methds can already g sme way t relieve climate pressures in sme cuntries. But, f curse, we dn’t nly care abut crp prductin at the glbal level. If farmers in particular regins-especially thse that are mst fd-insecure-cannt adapt t climate change, this is still a majr prblem. S there is mre we can d in the future.
21. What shuld farmers change if they are shrt f mney and labur?
A. WHAT. B. WHERE. C. WHEN. D. HOW.
22. Which crp may benefit mst if farmers plant imprved varieties?
A. Crn. B. Rice. C. Srghum. D. Wheat.
23. What shuld be dne in the future?
A. T help the farmers in need. B. T adpt the three methds.

My husband, children and I were in Hawaii. Here, we were intrduced t the ancient Hawaiian cncept f malama (t care fr) which encurages visitrs t give back t the envirnment and lcal cmmunities thrugh activities like habitat restratin, beach cleanups r fd prvisin. But mälama ges beynd ec-turism—it’s abut leaving a place better than yu fund it.
And after seeking ut these experiences during a three-week stay, we fund malama nt nly imprves Hawaii, but it als made ur time there much mre meaningful.
Mālama vlunteer experiences are fund acrss the islands. Fr example, n Maui, yu can help bring back native frests and vlunteer at a nursery; while n O’ahu, visitrs can clear invasive algae frm Maunalua Bay. In sme cases, travelers bking with partnering htels and participating in designated activities will qualify fr a discunted-r even free-night at dzens f htels and resrts.
"Mālama tday is mre vital than ever," ur guide Rgers said. "T many turists walk carelessly n ur land, ignring restrictins and damaging sensitive ecsystems... dn’t just think Hawaii is beautiful; help keep it that way. It’s a shared respnsibility." As Rgers explained, mālama isn’t just abut seeing r appreciating a landscape; it invites visitrs t cnnect and cntribute t it, with the idea that caring fr a place fsters a strnger relatinship with it.
After eight days, we ventured t Mlkai, Hawaii’s least develped island. N resrts r chain stres spiled its wild beauty-just dramatic cliffs meeting rugh seas. Deep in the eastern wilderness, we met Greg Slatari, whse family has taken care f this land fr generatins. His simple ff-grid life perfectly embdied malama. Greg welcmed us warmly befre leading us thrugh jungle-cvered ruins f ancestral villages. As we apprached, his sn Devak blew a cnch shell-a traditinal request t enter. "The land remembers," Greg explained, shwing us medicinal plants and ancient fishing spts. His parting wrds stayed with me: "Mālama shuldn’t be just Hawaiian-the whle wrld needs this way f caring."
24. Hw des the authr present the tpic in the first paragraph?
A. By quting an expert. B. By giving examples.
C. By explaining a cncept. D. By prviding statistics.
25. What can malama vlunteers experience in Hawaii?
A. Develping Maunalua Bay. B. Restring lcal frests.
C. Organizing big activities. D. Enjying transprtatin discunts.
26. What d we knw abut Greg Slatari’s family?
A. They built new resrts in the wild. B. They have lng prtected the land.
C. They ffered guided turs t lcals. D. They fixed up the ld village ruins.
27. Which f the fllwing best describes the authr’s trip in Hawaii?
A. The wise imprve what they enjy.
B. Where there is a will, there is a way.
C. Gd helps thse wh help themselves.
D. When in Rme, d as the Rmans d.

Fish may have their wn versin f empathy. In a study published in the jurnal Science, researchers say the same mechanism respnsible fr human empathy might als be at play amng fish. This suggests the human ability t understand and share anther’s feelings culd have evlved much earlier than previusly thught-arund 450 millin years ag, when fish and mammals split n the evlutinary tree.
Scientists have knwn that fear can spread thrughut grups f fish in a phenmenn knwn as "emtinal cntagin(传染)". This can be helpful if, fr example, ne fish spts a threat befre thers d–it can then alert its peers by acting panicked. But until nw, scientists weren’t sure which bilgical systems led fish t catch nt anther’s emtinal state. T find ut, they fcused n zebrafish, which are ften used in research. Scientists cncluded the hrmne xytcin(催产素), which helps regulate scial behavir and empathy in mammals, may als drive cntagius fear in fish.
In ne f their experiments, the team remved genes linked t xytcin prductin frm sme zebrafish, and then let them bserve ther zebrafish that were acting afraid in anther tank. Many f the genetically mdified animals did nt respnd t their peers’ fear, while a cntrl grup f nrmal fish did. Then, when the researchers gave the genetically mdied fish xytcin, they behaved mre like the standard, unmdified fish and mirrred the fright behavirs f their peers.
In anther experiment, zebrafish appeared t pay mre attentin t vides f fish that had previusly shwn signs f fear, cmpared with vides f fish that always appeared calm. This suggests the fish may have been emtinally cnnecting with their fearful peers—and pssibly, researchers say, even trying t cmfrt them.
Finally, the researchers dissected(解剖) zebrafish brains and, after examining the tissue under a micrscpe, fund that the tw areas mst invlved in emtinal cntagin: were similar t the mammalian brain regins assciated with empathy.
The findings suggest that fish culd be sentient, like humans and ther species. "They have the ability t have an emtinal life," says Hans Hfmann, a neurbilgist at the University f Texas at Austin wh was nt invlved in the research.
28. What des human-fish empathy similarity indicate?
A. Fish lst the ability t feel emtins during evlutin.
B. Mammals learned empathetic behavir by bserving fish.
C. Fish may pssess empathy-like abilities rted in evlutin.
D. Fish develped empathy separately after splitting frm mammals.
29. What rle des xytcin play in zebrafish accrding t the study?
A. It enhances their swimming speed.
B. It shapes their respnse t peers’ fear.
C. It helps them detect danger faster.
D. It reduces their need fr scial interactin.
30. Hw did the researchers reach their cnclusin?
A. By analyzing data. B. By making cmparisns.
C. By building mdels. D. By cnducting surveys.
31. Which is the clsest in meaning t the underlined wrd "sentient" in the last paragraph?
A. Capable f physical adaptatin. B. Dependent n grup survival.
C. Skilled at aviding enemies. D. Able t perceive and feel emtins.
D
Fr sme readers, a dictinary pens up a wrld. Dictinaries cntain multiple plcasures, such as settling wrd-game wars by turning actual pages. Fr the rest, a dictinary is either utdated r strictly nline. In 2012, Encyclpedia Britannica stpped printing new editins, ging digital-nly.
In his bk, Unabridged: The Thrill f (and Threat t) the Mdern Dictinary, American jurnalist Stefan Fatsis writes f the shift brught abut by ur decade-ld dependence n search engines: "Definitins, gd and bad, were a click away, and mst peple didn’t care r culdn’t tell which was which: expert research, scrape data, zmbie(僵尸) websites, whatever ppped up in a search."
When I was a child, I lved dictinaries, and s did every sensible parent in Calcutta. If yur child was literate, ne f the 20 vlumes f the Oxfrd English Dictinary r an illustrated Cllins was the surest way t keep them happily ccupied, setting them ff n hunts fr lst r frgtten wrds.
Fatsis sees dictinary-making as "a human endeavr(努力) stretching back t the third millennium BCE". Frm the Akkadians t Sanskrit schlars, what dictinary makers hped t d went far beynd the already tricky task f writing definitins: Their jb was t explain and track "the endless shifts in language".
Change is inevitable, thugh Fatsis als asks what we lse in the name f cnvenience. He writes, "The jb f the dictinary was firmly established... By the time I finished this bk, it wasn’t clear hw much lnger flesh-bne-and-bld dictinary makers wuld be needed t dcument the march f the English language. Between traditinal search engines and AI-enhanced search thrugh LLMs (large language mdels), the way we lk up wrds, and find meaning in language itself, has changed."
We can’t claim that humanity still needs physical dictinaries. Like encyclpedias and atlases, the best f them have lng mved nline. Indeed, the starting pint f mst search engines were the encyclpedias and dictinaries cmpiled(编纂) by experts. But I plan t hld n t my belved, dg-eared physical dictinaries-such priceless time capsules, ne f the last paradises f freedm frm the endless scrll f digital cntent.
32. What has reduced peple’s reliance n physical dictinaries?
A. The decline f the print media. B. The cnvenience f nline lkup.
C. Peple’s indifference t accuracy. D. Publishers’ insistence n ging digital.
33. What can we infer abut the future f real-life dictinary makers?
A. Their wrklad will duble. B. They will remain in demand.
C. Their existence is threatened. D. They need t upgrade their skills.
34. Why des the authr stick t physical dictinaries?
A. They bst lng-term memry. B. They last lnger than digital files.
C. They ffer an escape frm screens. D. They give mre authritative definitins.
35. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. A Wrd in Favr f Dictinaries B. My Lve fr Lking up Wrds
C. A Best-seller n the Theme f Change D. Human Endeavrs in Dictinary-making

The use f technlgy in sprts is suppsed t be able t prvide accurate and instant feedback, with better decisin-making and fewer errrs than human interventin. 36
The annual tennis turnament, Wimbledn, made the decisin this year t replace their line judges. They were switched ut fr AI that analyses camera ftage, which shuld be faster and mre accurate. Nevertheless, the electrnic line calling system failed just a week int the 2025 champinship. 37 This meant a pint had t be replayed, which resulted in Snay Kartal cntrversially winning the game. If technlgy needs humans t perate it in the first place, whse fault is it in situatins like these where things g wrng?
In ftball, VAR (vide assistant referee) is als regularly used these days. A referee can ask fr a VAR check, which means that if they are unsure f a decisin, they can duble-check their wn judgement. Hwever, last ftball seasn, VAR made versights which angered a lt f managers, players and fans._____ Besme Despite this, befre VAR, 82% f the decisins made were cnsidered crrect; nw that figure is 96%.
39 Prfessr Gina Neff frm Cambridge University says that we have a very strng, in-built sense f fairness. "The machine makes decisins based n the set f rules it’s been prgrammed t apply," she said. "Right nw, in many areas where AI is tuching ur lives, we feel like humans understand the cntext much better than the machine."

A. But is that always the case?

C. They said the system was nt fit fr purpse.

E. The ball-tracking technlgy was turned ff by a persn accidentally.
F. S, why d we still nt trust technlgy if it ften imprves a situatin?
G. Whether yu trust it r nt, technlgy is here t stay, including in sprts.
