The mment was cmpletely unexpected. It came in 2013, when Jane Gdall was helping return a chimpanzee (黑猩猩) called Wunda t the wild. They had nt met befre, but Wunda jumped int her arms, hugging and kissing her. Ms Gdall never frgt the warmth f that embrace.
It might have been a thank-yu frm all chimpanzees. She spent her wrking life with them, mainly in the Gmbe Reserve (保护区) alng Lake Tanganyika, and jys came thick and fast. Her mst significant and surprising sighting, thugh, came when she nticed her favrite, David Greybeard, sitting by a termite (白蚁) hill. He used a grass stick t fish ut termites fr fd, even pulling ff leaves t imprve the tl. Befre this, peple had believed nly humans culd make and use tls — many thught this ability was what made humans unique. Gdall’s findings shk the wrld f science.
Gdall had n frmal scientific training. As a child, she dreamed f living in Africa and bserving animals. There, she named chimps like Gliath and Fl instead f numbers, the cmmn practice, but annyed sme scientists. She believed each had its wn persnality, and her detailed ntes made her a leading expert.
Later in life, Gdall was heartbrken t find chimp numbers drpping sharply due t bush-meat trade and habitat lss. Frm then n, she gave up her fieldwrk in favur f speaking ut. She ften started her speeches with a greeting in chimp calls. But under the fun lay deep shame at what her generatin, nt excepting herself, had dne t nature.
In 1991, She funded “Rts &Shts” t encurage yuth t prtect the envirnment. She traveled the wrld, spreading hpe and calling n everyne t care fr nature. Thugh Dr. Gdall passed away n Octber 1, 2025, her spirit still lives n in the lives she prtected and in the next generatin wh believe that kindness can change the wrld.
24．What did David Greybeard d that surprised Gdall?
A．He hugged Gdall warmly. B．He sat near the termite hill alne.
C．He used tls t get fd. D．He allwed Gdall t watch him.
25．What can be inferred abut sme scientists in Paragraph 3?

B．They agreed naming chimps was creative.
C．They preferred using numbers fr research.
D．They thught chimp names lacked persnalities.
26．Why did Gdall stp ding direct research n chimps?
A．Because she was t ld t g t the reserve.
B．Because she wanted t teach peple abut chimps.
C．Because she enjyed making public speeches.
D．Because she desired t call fr nature prtectin.

Mre than 20 species (物种) f bird arund the wrld use a similar “whining” alarm call t warn that birds like cucks, r brd parasites (寄生动物) that lay their eggs in the nests f ther birds, are arund. The call seems t be understd acrss species, and its use suggest hw language may have riginated.
Will Feeney at the Dnana Bilgical Statin in in and his clleagues have nw fund that 21 bird species, including superb fairy-wrens in Australasia, all use similar “whining” sunds when they see a brd parasite.
The researchers fund that the species that prduce this alarm call ften live in areas where there are lts f brd parasites that make use f many different hst species, and when the hsts hear the whining call, they attempt t scare them away with aggressive (攻击性的) physical mbbing. “It’s quite pssible that the mbbing call aims t draw in ther birds t participate in the mbbing,” says Rse Thrgd at the University f Helsinki in Finland.
T investigate further, Feeney and his clleagues played recrdings f the calls made by brd-parasite hsts frm ther cntinents t hst birds in Australia and China. They discvered that hearing the freign warning calls brught ut just as fast a mbbing respnse as hearing the calls prduced by their wn species. Feeney says this suggests there is an inbrn part t the alarm calls that many bird species respnd t, but birds in areas where brd parasites are cmmn have changed the call and respnse t pass n knwledge f the lcal risk.
In 1871, Charles Darwin suggested that spken language may have begun when humans and animals started cpying and changing the sunds they made. “The birds adapting these inbrn calls t anther purpse culd be the first stepping stne twards language,” says Feeney. “S, animal cmmunicatin and human language are clsely related, rather than ‘language’ being a uniquely human feature.”
28．What is true abut the “whining” call?
A．It’s similar t human language. B．It’s used against hst species.
C．It’s used fr nest building. D．It warns against brd parasites.
29．What can be inferred frm the mbbing behavir?
A．It helps recreate brd parasite sunds.
B．It gathers birds t drive away threats.
C．It warns ther hst species t stay away.
D．It allws cmmunicatin with parasites.
30．What des the freign call experiment shw?
A．Birds nly respnd t lcal calls.
B．The mbbing respnse is learned quickly.
C．The respnse is inbrn but lcally adapted.
D．All such calls cause a similar reactin.
31．What is the main idea f the passage?
A．A shared alarm call in birds. B．The threat f brd parasites.
C．The develpment f language. D．Supprt fr Darwin’s thery.
New research shws an imprtant finding t add t the knwn benefits f regular exercise: middle-aged wmen with gd physical fitness are nearly 90% less likely t develp dementia (失智症) in ld age. Als, fr thse wh are affected, the disease appears abut ten years later than in wmen wh are less sprty.
Lead researcher Dr Helena Hörder, f the University f Gthenburg in Sweden, said: “These findings are exciting because it’s pssible that imprving peple’s cardivascular (心血管的) fitness in middle age culd delay r even prevent them frm develping dementia.”
Fr the study, 191 wmen with an average age f 50 tk a bicycle exercise test until they were tired ut t measure their peak (最大值的) cardivascular ability. The average peak wrklad was measured at 103 watts.

These wmen were then tested fr dementia six times ver the fllwing frty years.
During that time, 44 f the wmen develped dementia. Five percent f the highly fit wmen develped dementia, cmpared t 25 percent f the wmen with medium fitness and 32 percent f the wmen with lw fitness.
“Hwever, this study des nt shw cause and effect between cardivascular fitness and dementia, it nly shws an cnnectin,” said Hörder. “Mre research is needed t see if imprved fitness culd have a psitive effect n the risk f dementia and als t lk at when during a lifetime a high fitness level is mst imprtant.” She als said that a relatively small number f wmen were studied, all f whm were frm Sweden, s the results may nt apply t ther grups.

China is recgnized 56 its ancient civilizatin, which has lasted int mdern times despite histrical changes. A key reasn fr this cntinuity is the Chinese writing system.
Originally, 57 (write) Chinese was picture-based, dating back thusands f years t carved symbls n animal bnes and shells. Sme ancient symbls remain recgnizable in tday’s Chinese characters, r hanzi. By the Shang Dynasty (arund 1600-1046 BCE), these symbls 58 (becme) a well-develped writing system. Over time, the system develped int 59 (variety) frms due t gegraphical divisins, 60 (result) in numerus dialects and character variatins (变体).
This changed under Emperr Qinshihuang f the Qin Dynasty (221-207 BCE), wh unified China’s seven majr states. The writing system was standardized, playing an imprtant rle in uniting the Chinese peple and culture. Even tday, regardless f 61 Chinese peple live r what dialect they speak, they can cmmunicate thrugh writing.
Mrever, the writing system serves as 62 imprtant bridge cnnecting China’s present with 63 (it) past. Mdern peple can read classical 64 (wrk) frm ancient times. The high regard fr Chinese writing system can be seen in their develpment int an art frm — calligraphy — which has becme an imprtant part f Chinese culture.
Tday, the Chinese writing system is still an imprtant part f Chinese culture. As China’s glbal rle expands, a grwing number f internatinal students are gaining 65 (appreciate) fr China’s culture and histry thrugh this remarkable language.
