Flrida State University art students recently designed interactive tys fr animals at Jacksnville Z and Btanical Gardens. Their gal was t help the z animals stay happy and healthy, just like they wuld be in the wild.
This prject came frm a special curse led by Prfessr Rb Duarte. Students wrked in grups, each fcusing n a different species: giraffes, Kmd dragns, r birds. They studied animal behaviurs, researched safe materials, and made early mdels at the university’s Innvatin Hub. After receiving expert feedback frm the z staff, they cntinued t imprve their designs.
Senir student Kate Casey designed a feeding ty fr giraffes. She made a large cntainer with many hles arranged in a giraffe pattern. The cntainer has tw levels, which frces the giraffes t stretch their tngues and exercise their muth muscles fr a lnger time. This mimics their natural search fr leaves n thrny (多刺的) trees, turning feeding int a fun and healthy challenge. Anther student, Audrey Lendvay, created enrichment tys fr birds that made them mre active and playful.
When the students brught their tys t the z, they watched the animals interact under staff supervisin (监督). The staff were deeply impressed by the students’ wrk. Senir bird keeper Danielle Minkus said the creativity and quality went far beynd her expectatins. Animal well-being fficer Alexis Hart added that helping animals live their best life is everyne’s gal.
“Prjects like this shw hw creative thinking and hands-n learning can cnnect peple and institutins in ways that make a real difference,” Duarte said. “It’s abut building bridges between art and science, students and prfessinals, and the university and the brader cmmunity.”
The prject als pened students’ eyes t new career paths they had never cnsidered befre. Kate Casey said she never knew such jbs existed in animal enrichment and interdisciplinary (跨学科的) design. In the end, these yung artists tk pride in helping z animals find a little mre wild jy in their daily lives.
4. What was the gal f the students’ prject?
A．Career explratin.
B．Animal welfare.
C．Material testing.
D．Staff training.
5. Hw did Kate Casey’s ty benefit the giraffes?

C．It prtected them frm thrns.
D．It stretched their tngues.

Whether yu prefer WeChat, Twitter, r Facebk, yur scial media prfile is sending a silent message abut wh yu are. While these platfrms are great fr cnnecting, it is easy t accidentally cme acrss as cnceited (自负的), angry, r shallw. Psychlgists suggest that ur nline behaviur reveals ur true values and persnality t the digital wrld.
Take selfies (自拍) fr example. It is perfectly apprpriate t have a picture f yurself as yur prfile pht. Hwever, if almst every picture yu pst is just f yu lking pretty, yu are likely t leave the impressin that yu are full f yurself. Psychlgist Sarah Schewitz pints ut that there is much mre t a persn than just a pretty face, and users shuld shw ther meaningful aspects f their lives.
Furthermre, yur nline tne matters. Sme peple use scial media t cmplain abut their daily struggles r engage in angry debates. Cnstantly psting negative thughts tells the wrld that yu are nt a happy persn. Instead f adding negativity t the internet, it is highly recmmended t fcus n the psitive sides f life. On the ther hand, painting an unrealistically perfect picture f yur life can als be prblematic. Many peple nly pst their amazing achievements, making their lives seem perfect. This ften makes friends feel stressed. Psychlgists remind us that everyne faces challenges, and sharing the reality f life, rather than just the highlights, makes yu mre relatable.
If yu want t make sure yur psts reflect wh yu are, a gd guideline, accrding t Schewitz, is t take a breath befre clicking. “Befre psting smething, ask yurself: Is this ging t add psitivity t the wrld r take away frm it? If the answer is the latter, dn’t pst it. There’s enugh negativity ut there withut yu sharing hw terrible yur day was. If yu need supprt, call a friend, dn’t subject the whle wrld t yur cmplaints,” Schewitz suggests.
8. What des the authr pint ut in paragraph 1?
A．Online acts reflect inner qualities.
B．Scial cntent is shallw.
C．Users hide their true characters.
D．Chats bring misunderstanding.
9. What can be inferred abut the perfect selfies n platfrms?
A．They build yur cnfidence.
B．They create a self-centered image.
C．They make yu better understd.
D．They illustrate yur meaningful sides.
10. What des the authr suggest abut psting n scial media?
A．Express yur emtins freely.
B．Keep yur persnal life private.
C．Shw psitivity alng with real life.
D．Avid sharing achievements with friends.
11. What is the best title f the text?
A．What Yu Pst Says Abut Yu
B．The Secret f Taking Perfect Selfies
C．Hw t Hide Yur True Self Online

Digital dementia (痴呆) has becme a cmmn cgnitive hypthesis (认知假说) in the 21st century — it has weakened ur ability t remember phne numbers because we stre them all in cntact lists, filled ur waking hurs with passive screen time like mindlessly watching TV, and shifted ur attentin with endless infrmatin streams.
But des technlgy truly harm the aging brain? A cmprehensive new study by researchers frm the United States prvides an unexpected answer. Published in Nature Human Behaviur, the study cmbined data frm 57 previus studies, which included mre than 411,000 adults aged ver 50. Surprisingly, the research verall revealed that higher use f cmputers, smartphnes, and the internet might actually be assciated with lwer rates f cgnitive decline, with a 58 percent risk reductin.
Interestingly, the effect f technlgy use n brain functin fund in this study was similar t r strnger than ther knwn prtective factrs, such as physical activity, r maintaining a healthy bld pressure. This benefit remained significant even when factrs like sciecnmic status and verall health were taken int accunt.
Why des technlgy use benefit lder adults? Researchers suggest it cmes dwn t hw we use it. Activities, like reading r learning a new language, are knwn t prtect ur brains as we age. Similarly, greater engagement with technlgy may serve as a frm f mental exercise. Adapting t sftware updates r learning t use a new smartphne keeps the brain active. Additinally, technlgy helps lder peple stay scially cnnected and independent fr lnger.
“The impact f AI n the aging brain will nly becme evident in future decades. Hwever, ur ability t adapt t histrical technlgical innvatins, and the ptential fr this t supprt cgnitive functin, suggest the future may nt be all bad. Fr example, advances in brain-cmputer cnnectins ffer new hpe fr peple with neurlgical (神经系统的) disease r disability. We need t carefully study hw these technlgies affect cgnitive health ver time,” says Nikki-Anne Wilsn.
12. Hw des the authr intrduce the tpic?
A．By quting an expert.
B．By defining a cncept.
C．By prviding statistics.
D．By giving examples.
13. What can be inferred abut the prtective effect f technlgy use?
A．It may utperfrm healthy management.
B．It can reduce the need fr exercise.
C．It maintains the bld pressure.
D．It varies with sciecnmic status.
14. What determines the benefits f technlgy use n lder adults?
A．The number f nline friends.
B．The mental and scial stimulatin.
C．The frequency f sftware updates.
D．The independent and active reading.
15. What are Nikki-Anne Wilsn’s wrds abut?

As a new reprter at a lcal newspaper ffice, my biggest dream was t write a frnt-page stry that culd tuch readers’ hearts. Hwever, t my disappintment, I was assigned t Mr. Hendersn, a mst cld and strict editr in the ffice.
He was a man f few wrds wh never smiled at anyne. He cnstantly rejected my drafts, leaving messy red-ink ntes all ver the empty space f my papers. “Where is the cre fact?” “Where is the emtin?” he wuld write. Thse ntes were harsh (严苛的), but strangely, they were als incredibly detailed, always pinting ut exactly where and hw a stry was weak. Still, facing his sharp eyes and endless criticism day after day, I felt s defeated that I seriusly cnsidered quitting. I was cnvinced that he just didn’t like me.
Then, a huge stry brke. A histric building dwntwn, ne that had std fr ver a century as a symbl f ur twn, suddenly caught fire, and ur newspaper needed an urgent headline reprt. Yet, right at that imprtant mment, Mr. Hendersn unexpectedly fell ill. Befre ging t the hspital, he walked slwly t my desk, his face pale. Withut saying a wrd, he placed his ld, thick ntebk n my desk, which he always carried with him. He tapped n it, and left me in ttal charge f the big reprt.
Racing against time, I rushed t the smke-filled scene, interviewed shcked witnesses, and gathered facts. The big fire had destryed the rf, leaving nly the black brick walls standing. When I hurried back, nly three hurs remained befre the final deadline.
Sitting befre the cmputer with my shaking hands, I typed anxiusly. I rewrte the pening three times, deleting sentences back and frth. Each versin felt lifeless. I just culdn’t find the cre fact r the emtin Mr. Hendersn always demanded.
The wall clck cunted dwn t my failure. Depressed, I pulled at my hair. My heart sank as the letters seemed t laugh at my helplessness.
注意：（1）续写词数应为 150 左右；（2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Suddenly, my eyes fell upn Mr. Hendersn’s ntebk.
