Maya Martinez，a high schl senir living in a fg-cvered castal village in Nrth Califrnia，nticed that the cmmunity garden was gradually drying up during the driest summer n recrd.While the villagers remained helpless，Maya chse t spend her afternns carefully bserving the thick mist that rlled in frm the sea.
Maya had already identified a critical fault in traditinal fg-cllecting me sh nets（网状网）：they frequently became blcked by the very water drps they caught，which severely reduced their effectiveness.Digging deeper int slutins，Maya fund a nvel device designed by tw scientists—the"Fg Harp （竖琴）".
Maya decided t use the handy materials t create her wn"Fg Harp".At first，neighbrs watched the prcess with dubt as she st rung hundreds f thin，upright wires acrss a slid wden frame.T them，the setup lked n mre than"a giant musical instrument"that nly prduced useless sunds in the cld castal wind.Little did they knw this simple-lking setup wuld sn prve surprisingly effective.
The remarkable efficiency f Maya's Fg Harp lies in its clever use f gravity.In a traditinal me sh net，tiny water drps get easily trapped within the small square gaps，which stp further cllectin.This ccurs because the surface tensin—the invisible，stretchy"skin"f liquid water—is t strng fr the small drps t vercme.In Maya's Fg Harp，by cntrast，water drps hit the wires and slwly cmbine int larger drps.Mst imprtantly，with n crss wires t hld these larger drps in place，gravity easily vercmes surface tensin，allwing the water t slide effrtlessly dwn the wires and cllect in a tank belw.
Of curse，the prject faced its share f setbacks.During ne severe castal strm，the extreme wind tre thrugh the wden frame.Yet，instead f giving in t despair，she immediately set ut t fix the prblem by reinfrcing the entire structure with durable steel wires.By the time autumn arrived，Maya's"Fg Harps"were reliably prducing plenty f fresh water every day，partly meeting the daily water needs f the village.
4.Why did Maya bserve the thick mist in her afternns？______
A. T predict the weather cnditins.
B. T clarify the reasns fr drught.
C. T check the efficiency f the me sh nets.
D. T wrk ut a slutin t water shrtage.
5.What can we knw abut Maya's"Fg Harp"？______
A. It was a musical instrument.B. It invited villagers' acid wrds.
C. It presented an inbrn fault.D. It featured a slid metal frame.
6.What is the key fr Maya's Fg Harp t functin well？______
A. Its upright-wire design.B. Its mesh-net structure.
C. Its weak surface tensin.D. Its resistance t gravity.
7.What can we learn frm Maya's stry？______
A. Lk befre yu leap.B. Better late than never.
C. Think utside the bx.D. Time waits fr n man.

Urban green spaces，such as city parks and cmmunity gardens，are widely recgnized fr their rle in imprving air quality and relieving urban heat islands.Hwever，a recent eclgical research highlights their verlked functin in prtecting urban bidiversity，which is crucial fr maintaining the stability f urban ecsystems.But such hidden eclgical value is rarely mentined in city cnstructin planning reprts.
With the rapid expansin f cities，many wild species have lst their natural habitats and are frced t mve t urban areas.Urban green spaces act as" eclgical crridrs" that cnnect islated green patches，allwing animals t mve，find fd and mate safely.These spaces prvide shelter and fd fr a variety f species，frm birds and insects t small mammals，helping them survive in the man-made urban envirnment.
Researchers cnducted a three-year survey in 50 urban green spaces acrss different cities.They fund that green spaces with diverse native plants，rather than unifrm freign plants，hst mre species and frm mre cmplex eclgical chains.Even small-scale green spaces，such as rftp gardens and radside flwer beds，can make a significant difference in supprting urban bidiversity.Every tiny green plt serves as a safe mini habitat fr vulnerable urban creatures.
Despite their imprtance，urban green spaces are ften under threat frm urban develpment and pr upkeep.Many cities priritize large-scale cnstructin wrk ver green space prtectin，leading t the lss f valuable eclgical habitats.In additin，few wrkers regularly water plants，r trim bushes r clear rubbish in city parks，which，cnsequently，causes t much waste t cver the lawns.Experts appeal that urban planning shuld give higher pririty t building and prtecting diverse green spaces，making cities nt nly suitable fr human living but als friendly t all frms f life.
8.What is the newly discvered key functin n urban green spaces in the passage？ ______
A. Adjusting city climate by cutting temperatures in residential areas.
B. Cleaning air and reducing the bad influence f heat islands.
C. Prtecting varius living species in city envirnments.
D. Prviding pen public land fr peple's daily relaxatin.
9.What can we infer abut islated green patches withut"eclgical crridrs"？ ______
A. These lands can ffer enugh safe shelters fr small mammals.
B. These lands cannt guarantee animals' safe migratin and breeding.
C. These lands are mre likely t frm cmplicated fd chains.
D. These lands can take the place f big city parks fr wildlife prtectin.
10.What cnclusin can we draw frm the three-year eclgical study？ ______
A. Single freign plant types can supprt mre wildlife varieties.
B. Small rf gardens have almst n gd influence n bidiversity.
C. Grwing different native plants helps frm richer urban eclgical systems.
D. Green lands in different cities create the same level f species diversity.
11.The wrd"upkeep" in the last paragraph mst prbably means ______ .
A. mass unemplymentB. daily maintenance
C. plant transplant wrkD. industrial prductin
D
Exams are nerve-racking，especially fr thse already f an anxius character.It seems barely surprising that thse wh wrry abut taking tests d systematically wrse than thse wh d nt.What is，perhaps，surprising，accrding t research published recently in Psychlgical Science by Maria Thebald，is that it is nt the pressure f the exam hall but the pressure f revisin that causes the prblem.
Dr Thebald therized that is anxiety was truly interfering with a student's ability t transfer knwn infrmatin frm brain t paper via pen，then thse with high levels f it wuld perfrm wrse in a real exam than in either a mck （模考） befrehand r during nline practice sessins.Besides，she expected this perfrmance-drp t crrelate with levels f self-reprted exam nerves.
She therefre wrked with 309 German medical students wh were preparing fr their final state exam，the mst imprtant that they take.This test cnsists f 230 questins split int three five-hur sessins ver three days.
All her vlunteers sat a mck examinatin，clearly presented t them as such，40 days befre the real thing.T assess their levels f anxiety，they were asked，every day fr 40 days in the run-up t the real exam and als n the day f that exam，t respnd n a five-pint scale t statements like，"I feel tense and nervus." On the day f the mck they were similarly asked t rate statements like， "I wrry whether I have studied enugh."
What Dr Thebald fund was nt what she expected.Anxiety n the day f test did nt predict exam perfrmance at all.What did predict it was the level f knwledge a student displayed in the mck exam and the earlier digital-learning activities.Thse wh perfrmed well in these als did well in the real thing，regardless f hw anxius they were n the day.What actually hampered students，it turned ut，were high levels f anxiety during the weeks befre the exam tk place.
And this discvery is far-reaching，fr it suggests a change f apprach t revisin by the anxius might help imprve their results.Dr Thebald ntes that test-anxiety is at its wrst when students have lw expectatins f success and simultaneusly（同时地） knw that passing the exam is exceedingly imprtant.
12.What is paragraph 2 f the text mainly abut？ ______
A. The theretical basis.B. The research result.
C. The testing assumptin.D. The experimental prcess.
13.What can we infer frm the research？ ______
A. Anxiety befre the exam brings better exam perfrmance.
B. Anxiety befre the exam restricts students' ability in exams.
C. Anxiety n the day f the test predicts the result f the exam.
D. Anxiety n the day f the test intervenes in students' ability in exams.
14.What is the authr's attitude tward Dr Thebald's study？ ______
A. FavrableB. UnclearC. DubtfulD. Dismissive
15.What will the fllwing paragraph prbably talk abut accrding t the passage？ ______
A. Hw t carry ut revisin plans scientifically.
B. Hw t reduce test-anxiety when reviewing.
C. Hw t get satisfying scres well in exams.
D. Hw t ease study pressure befre tests.

Incme relates t happiness up t a pint，but the mst enduring research tells a different stry.The Harvard Adult Develpment Study，which has tracked participants fr ver 80 years，cncludes that persnal cnnectins—nt mney—are the true key t fulfillment.
Still，the questin remains： (16) The answer，as usual，is yes and n.T see why，it helps t lk at the three brad ways peple spend：n things，n experiences，and n becming.
Things
Spending n things is always mre cmplicated than it lks.On ne hand，meeting basic needs desn't usually spark jy，but lacking them is a recipe fr unhappiness.Wants，n the ther hand，tempt us with the prmise f fulfillment. (17) Sn after，we return t ur baseline.
Experiences
(18) Spending n experiences cnsistently delivers mre mment-t-mment happiness than buying material gds，and the benefit lingers acrss anticipatin，participatin and memry.But here t，declining returns creep in.A single luxury trip can feel extrardinary，but repeat it cnstantly and the sparkle fades.In the end，experiences，like things，lse their impact.
Becming
The fading sparkle f things and experiences brings us t the mst verlked and mst pwerful use f mney：spending t becme.When yu direct resurces tward becming a fuller ，mre intentinal versin f yurself，yu' re nt just chasing pleasure—yu' re investing in grwth.If yu lve writing，yu might hire a cach. (19) When spending fuels purpse and passins，it naturally draws thers t yu.
The Secret
Becming desn't require vast sums f mney.Grwth ften begins with small，inexpensive steps.Earning mre mney des nt guarantee happiness.Spending n things and even experiences can ffer mmentary bsts，but their impact tends t fade. (20)
A.Can we spend ur ways t happiness？
B.Des higher spending lead t greater happiness？
C.Experience withut reflectin is just infrmatin.
D.The mst enduring frm f spending is n becming.
E.Better than things at bringing lasting jy are experiences.
F.It's abut enhancing yurself rather than merely acquiring things.
G.Yet material purchases give us nly a shrt-term burst f delight.

38. My grandfather，a retired carpenter with rugh yet deft （灵巧的） hands，had been utterly bsessed with carving delicate wden handicrafts ever since his early adulthd.Back in my childhd，I wuld cruch quietly beside his wrn wden wrkbench，gazing attentively as he meticulusly（细致地） cut，plished and carved slid wd with prfessinal tls.Every time，he wuld spare n effrt t craft delicate little wden tys fr me，turning plain wd int vivid artwrks with his exceptinal craftsmanship.
As I was prmted t senir three，the increasingly heavy academic burden cmpletely ccupied my daily life.I barely spared any time t accmpany my grandfather，let alne sit beside him t appreciate his wdcarving creatins.Buried endlessly in piles f textbks，exercise bks and endless hmewrk，I even grew impatient and irritable whenever he apprached me sftly，urging me t take a break r sip a cup f warm milk.
Last mnth，grandfather was struck dwn by a sudden illness and cnfined t bed fr a lng perid.The dctr stressed that he had been verwrked mentally and physically，crying fr adequate rest and careful nursing.One afternn，I finished all my hmewrk ahead f schedule and stepped int his study，which used t be filled with the faint，warm scent f wd.T my bitter disappintment，the nce tidy wrkbench was cvered with thick dust，and all his well-kept wdwrking tls were neatly stred away in silence.
On the crner f the dusty wrkbench lay a half-finished delicate wden jewelry bx，which he had secretly planned t craft as a unique birthday gift fr me.Unfrtunately，his sudden illness frced him t put dwn the tls and pause the carving wrk.

38.【答案】 Lking at the unfinished bx，I was suddenly lst and rted t the grund.I felt a strng sense f guilt，regretting my cld attitude twards him these days.I walked quietly t grandfather's bedrm t visit him.His eyes were clsed gently，and his face lked much paler than befre，which made my heart twist with deeper guilt.I held his wrinkled hand carefully，feeling the rugh tuch that had made cuntless delicate wden wrks fr me.Sensing my presence，grandfather pened his eyes slwly，frcing a warm smile withut any sign f blame.He whispered sftly that he hadn't meant t disturb my busy hmewrk time，just hping I culd stay relaxed.Tears blurred my eyes instantly，and I aplgized sincerely fr my cld attitude，prmising t spend mre time with him and urging that I manage the bx myself.
With a smile written n his face，he agreed t help me with it.The next day，I fllwed my decisin t finish the wden bx .I pushed his wheelchair t the warm study and sat beside the dusty wrkbench，hlding the half-finished gift carefully.Under his patient guidance，I tried t plish the wd gently，just like he used t d.Grandfather tld me the details f carving with a bright smile，and the whle rm was filled with warm wd scent again.It tk us tw days t cmplete the wden bx，but what I gained was far mre than a delicate gift—it was the precius warmth f family and the true meaning f accmpanying ur lved nes.
