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 mreCO2 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.
●Farmers can change WHAT they plant.This culd be an entirely different type f crp：crn instead f wheat，r a different variety f a specific crp.
●Farmers can change HOW crps are managed.Giving crps the right amunt f water，nutritin，and prtectin frm insects and disease can help reduce sme impacts f climate change.
●Farmers can change WHERE crps are planted.If temperatures rise，crp planting can shift nrthwards r suthwards fr mre suitable temperatures.
●Farmers can change WHEN they plant.Farmers can plant earlier r later in the year，depending n when spring arrives.Adjusting planting dates requires n additinal cst r wrk.
A recent study by experts mdeled three adaptatin methds — changing WHAT，changing WHEN and changing bth f them.The chart belw shws their psitive impact n the utput f crn，rice，srghum.sybeans （大豆） and wheat.
These three adaptatin methds can already g sme way twards relieving climate pressure 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.
1.Accrding t the chart，which crp benefits the least frm the methd f changing bth WHAT and WHEN？______
A. WheatB. RiceC. SrghumD. Sybean
2.Which f the fllwing adaptatin methds csts farmers n extra mney r wrk？______
A. Changing WHAT they plant.B. Changing HOW crps are managed.
C. Changing WHERE crps are planted.D. Changing WHEN they plant.
3.What can be inferred frm the last paragraph？______
A. The three adaptatin methds have slved the prblem f climate pressure glbally.
B. Farmers in fd-insecure regins have already adapted t climate change well.
C. Mre effrts are needed t help at-risk regins deal with climate change.
D. Glbal crp prductin is the nly cncern in climate change adaptatin.

A Senir Mment The quiet surface f Mares Pnd is suddenly brken by a cry： "Fund smething!" A swimmer dives dwn and sn reappears，hlding a beer can.It is passed t a kayaker，wh raises it like a prize befre placing it safely in a basket.
On a cludy summer mrning，a team f 15 wmen，all ver the age f 65，search the pnd fr trash.Wrking in water up t eight feet deep，they recver a surprising variety f bjects，including wden planks （木条） and even a mud-cvered fishing rd （竿）.Their mst impressive find is a lng piece f metal，which requires several peple t lift nt a kayak.
Despite the hard wrk，the wmen return t shre laughing and sharing jkes abut their discveries.They are members f Old Ladies Against Underwater Garbage （OLAUG），a grup funded in 2017 by Susan Baur，a retired psychlgist.What began as a small effrt has grwn int a regular activity aimed at prtecting lcal pnds.At first，t vercme the fear f dark water and hidden dangers，Baur fcused n visible bjects underwater.Over time，hwever，she realized that these "markers" were actually pieces f trash.Determined t make a change，she gathered friends t help clean them up.
Fr many members，the activity is nt nly abut envirnmental prtectin but als abut rediscvering a sense f purpse.Baur believes that being ver 65 can be "an age f gratitude，" when peple appreciate bth nature and their wn abilities mre deeply.She als hpes t challenge the idea that lder wmen are limited by age.
Althugh sme peple questin the grup's name r suggest including yunger members，OLAUG cntinues t emphasize the strength and value f lder wmen.Thrugh teamwrk and determinatin，they prve that age des nt prevent meaningful cntributin.Instead，their effrts shw that it is never t late t make a difference.
4.What is the main purpse f the first paragraph？______

B. T lcate valuable bjects
C. T reduce her fear f underwater envirnment
D. T help thers find their way

B. A grup cmbining envirnmental actin with scial meaning
C. A business aiming t make prfit frm recycling
D. A sprts club fr elderly swimmers
7.What message des the passage mainly cnvey？______
A. Envirnmental prtectin depends n individual effrts and awareness
B. The elderly can still play an active and meaningful rle in sciety
C. Peple can use their prfessinal skills t cntribute t the nature
D. Taking part in utdr activities imprves physical and mental health

Living at high altitudes has lng been assciated with a lwer risk f diabetes （糖尿病），but the reasn behind this cnnectin has remained unclear.A new study led by researchers in the US may have fund the answer.Their findings suggest that under cnditins f chrnic lw xygen，red bld cells take in three times mre glucse （葡萄糖） than usual，helping t lwer bld sugar levels.This discvery challenges the traditinal view that red bld cells play nly a minr rle in energy balance.
In experiments，mice expsed t lw-xygen envirnments shwed lwer bld glucse levels，yet the sugar was nt fund in expected rgans such as the muscles，brain，r liver.Using advanced imaging techniques，the team discvered that red bld cells were acting as majr glucse absrbers.Accrding t bichemist Isha Jain，this reveals a previusly verlked aspect f glucse metablism （新陈代谢）.
The researchers als identified a specific mlecule （分子） that influences hemglbin （血红蛋白），the xygen-carrying prtein in red bld cells.This mlecule lsens hemglbin's hld n xygen，imprving xygen delivery t tissues while increasing glucse cnsumptin. "Red bld cells are usually thught f as passive xygen carriers，" said bichemist Angel D' Alessandr. "Yet we fund they can accunt fr a large part f whle-bdy glucse use，especially under lw xygen."
Encuragingly，when the researchers gave a drug that simulates high-altitude effects t mice with type 1 and type 2 diabetes，the animals' high bld sugar levels were reversed.While treatments based n this discvery are still a lng way ff，the findings pen new pssibilities fr managing diabetes.
The study als ffers insights int why Sherpas，wh have lived at high altitudes fr generatins，d nt typically shw lwer bld sugar levels — it may be due t genetic adaptatins that prevent their red bld cells frm becming "glucse absrbers".The researchers believe this is nly the beginning f understanding hw the bdy adapts t xygen changes and hw such mechanisms might be used t treat varius diseases.
8.What did the researchers find abut red bld cells under lw-xygen cnditins？______
A. They reduce the amunt f xygen delivered t bdy tissues.
B. They absrb a much larger amunt f glucse than nrmal.
C. They stp carrying xygen and fcus nly n sugar uptake.
D. They transfrm glucse int a frm that cannt be used by the bdy.
9.What is the functin f the specific mlecule mentined in paragraph 3？______
A. It increases the prductin f glucse in the liver.
B. It blcks red bld cells frm taking in t much sugar.
C. It makes it easier fr hemglbin t release xygen.
D. It changes the structure f red bld cells permanently.
10.What des the passage suggest abut the research findings？______
A. A new diabetes drug has already been develped fr humans.
B. The findings are unlikely t lead t any practical medical treatments.
C. The drug experiment nly wrked n mice with n practical value at present.
D. The research ffers prmising pssibilities fr future diabetes care.
11.What can be inferred abut Sherpas frm the last paragraph？______
A. Their bld sugar levels are typically higher than thse f ther high-altitude peple.
B. Their red bld cells naturally act like "glucse spnges" absrbing extra sugar.
C. Their bdies have adaptive genetic changes that influence hw glucse is absrbed.
D. They are unable t adapt t lw-xygen envirnments ver time.
D
When psychlgists discuss bundaries （边界），they d nt mean cntrlling thers r aviding relatinship prblems.Setting a bundary means changing yur behavir accrding t yur wn rules.Such rules help express persnal needs and build strnger cnnectins with peple，says therapist Nedra Glver Tawwab.
T understand bundaries，cnsider a mther wh ften cmments n her adult child's weight.Asking her t stp is a request，nt a bundary.Only when the request is ignred can a bundary be set.One effective apprach，suggested by therapist KC Davis，invlves refusing t internalize the ther persn's pinin. "I dn't need t send her bks；I dn't need t cnvince her that I'm healthy，" Davis explains. "I say 'OK，Mm' and mve n." Bundaries can als be expressed thrugh clear statements — e.g.，telling a disrespectful teenager， "I will nt cntinue talking t smene abusing me" — r thrugh silent actins，like nt replying t an uncmfrtable message.
Setting bundaries strengthens relatinships by drawing a line between ne's wn needs and thse f thers，helping prevent emtinal utbursts，says psychlgy prfessr Catherine cases where the ther persn cannt meet ne's expectatins，bundaries allw the relatinship t remain satisfying.Davis recalls a friend wh frequently failed t shw up fr planned meetings.Instead f trying t change her friend's behavir，Davis stpped making frequent plans and adjusted her expectatins，allwing their ccasinal visits t becme genuinely enjyable.
Mental health experts identify three types f bundaries.Rigid bundaries invlve aviding clse relatinships and difficulty trusting thers，while lse bundaries invlve versharing persnal infrmatin，tlerating disrespect，and struggling t say n.Ideally，individuals shuld aim fr healthy bundaries — valuing ne's wn wants and needs，being pen t clse relatinships when desired，and refusing when necessary.Accrding t Tawwab，achieving balance and flexibility in bundary-setting is essential，as verly rigid r lse bundaries can damage relatinships.
12.What des the secnd paragraph suggest abut handling unwanted cmments？______
A. Making a request is usually the mst effective first step.
B. One shuld try t cnvince the ther persn t change.
C. The best respnse is t accept the ther's pinin.
D. A bundary can be set withut expecting the ther t stp.
13.What can we learn frm the stry f Davis and her friend？______
A. End the friendship immediately if let dwn.
B. Adjust expectatins instead f interventin.
C. Have a serius talk t change their behavir.
D. Make mre plans t test their reliability.
14.Which f the fllwing is a characteristic f lse bundaries？______
A. Aviding clse relatinships.
B. Having difficulty trusting thers.
C. Finding it hard t refuse thers.
D. Valuing ne's wn wants and needs.
15.What is the main purpse f the passage？______
A. T cmpare different types f bundaries.
B. T explain the true meaning f setting bundaries.
C. T criticize the veruse f psychlgical terms.
D. T encurage readers t avid clse relatinships.

38.阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In Bentn Schl，the chatter f students filled Rm 13 every day.Amng the lively atmsphere，Wanda Petrnski，a pr Plish girl，with her unruly hair and a faded blue dress that shwed signs f frequent wear，became the target f cruel jkes amng her classmates.
Each mrning，as Wanda stepped int the classrm，a sudden silence wuld fall ver the rm.The abrupt silence was sn replaced by whispers and laughter. "Lk，there's Wanda，" Peggy wuld whisper t her friend Maggie，her eyes shining with mischief.Peggy，the mst ppular girl in class，was well-knwn fr her sharp tngue and a gd sense f fashin.Driven by a mix f bredm and meanness （恶意），she wuld call ut， "Hw many dresses d yu have nw，Wanda？" Her vice was filled with pretended curisity.
Wanda wuld hesitate，her fingers nervusly twisting her dress. "A hundred，" she wuld reply in a sft murmur；her vice was barely heard.Instantly，the classrm wuld erupt in laughter. "A hundred!" Peggy wuld shut，her laughter eching thrugh the rm. "I bet they're all made f paper!" The ther students wuld jin in，their cruel laughter filling the air.Wanda's face wuld redden with awkward，and she wuld quickly lwer her head，unable t meet anyne's eyes.
Miss Masn，their teacher，ften tried t intervene. "That's enugh，class.Let's start the lessn，" she wuld say firmly，attempting t restre rder.But the damage had been dne.Day after day，Peggy and her grup f friends cntinued t make fun f Wanda，asking abut her "hundred dresses" and making ill remarks abut her plain clthes.

37.【答案】AI：a Tl，Nt a Replacement The cartn vividly describes a student sitting in frnt f a cmputer.Instead f ding his hmewrk himself，he simply asks an AI rbt t finish it，while he relaxes with a cup f cffee.
This picture reflects a grwing scial phenmenn that many students are becming verly dependent n AI tls.They tend t use AI t cmplete assignments r even exams，treating it as a shrtcut rather than a learning aid.
In my pinin，AI shuld be viewed as a helpful tl，nt a replacement fr human thinking.While it can bst efficiency，ver-reliance will hinder ur ability t think independently.Therefre，we shuld use AI wisely t assist ur studies.
38.【答案】 A few days later，Miss Masn annunced the result and everyne was shcked.Wanda wn the first prize，fr she had submitted 100 exquisite，uniquely detailed fashin design drawings.Each drawing was a masterpiece，featuring elabrate patterns and vivid clrs that far exceeded the simple sketches f the ther students.Peggy and the class stared in disbelief at the beautiful display f Wanda's talent.But Wanda wasn't there t see her triumph.She had been absent fr days，likely due t classmates' cnstant bad behavir.The classrm was filled with an awkward silence as the students realized hw wrng they had been t laugh at her.
Feeling a strng sense f guilt，Peggy and Maggie went t Wanda's huse with the gd news.When they arrived，Wanda seemed surprised t see them.Peggy，her vice filled with regret，said， "Wanda，yur drawings wn!They're amazing.We're s srry fr being mean." Maggie ndded in agreement.Wanda smiled gently and said， "It's kay." She then ffered t give Peggy and Maggie sme f her drawings. "I want yu t have them，" she said.Her kindness tuched their hearts.Frm that day n，Peggy and Maggie learned the imprtance f kindness and never judged thers by their appearance again.Whenever anyne walked thrugh the schl hall and saw Wanda's beautiful drawings，they were reminded f the pwer f frgiveness and the impact that a single act f kindness culd have.
