A few months ago. I came across a random post on Facebook from a group called Poisons Help: Emergency Identification for Mushrooms and Plants. Curious, I clicked on it. The post featured a photo of a fungus(真菌) on a tree and a panicked message front a man whose dog was vomiting(呕吐). The owner sought urgent guidance, fearing his pet had eaten something poisonous. The group, composed of trusted experts, reassured him the mushrooms were not dangerous.
I now find myself reading post after post. When cases are resolved and pets survive, the posters are so grateful to have access to this remarkable free resource. In the often dark and awful world of the Internet, it feels like a beautiful pocket of light and hope. It reminds me that there is good out there too.
It is easy to feel hopeless about humanity.There are ongoing wars, climate change, violence, poverty and more.But people are using their knowledge and skills to make a difference. This is something I see when I go to work in the National Health Service(NHS).For all the talk of its brokenness and cuts, every day my colleagues and I treat patients, and many of those patients grow, develop and get better.
While facing and standing against the bad, we must also hold on to the good. It’s easy to be overwhelmedby negativity and losehope,especially if you’ veexperienced severe hardships. My mentor(导师) recently spoke about the Israel-Palestine conflict: that however far away peace may seem, we have to believe that it is possible, so we can begin building the bridge that may get us there one day. We can start laying the bricks.
In your own life, when things seem hopeless, remember your capacity for creativity and growth. Identify what isn’t going well and what you can change for a better life.
24. Why does the author find the Facebook group remarkable?
A. It promotes interest in science learning.B. It provides a strong sense of belonging.
C. It reflects kindness in online spaces.D. It offers quick solutions to urgent problems.
25. What does the author suggest about the NHS?
A. It continues to help people despite problems.B. It faces ongoing resource challenges.
C. It requires large-scale reform to survive.D. It receives limited public appreciation.
26. What does the author think about being hopeful?
A. It often leads to inaction.B. It requires active engagement.
C. It can distract from real issues.D. It depends on what actions others take.
27. What does “laying the bricks” in paragraph 4 most likely mean?
A. Seeking outside help.B. Planning for the future.
C. Taking small positive steps.D. Overcoming daily obstacles.
C
Known for its role in Game of Thrones(《权力的游戏》), the dire wolf(冰原狼) went extinct over 10,000 years ago. Last April, the US company Colossal Biosciences announced its return, saying that, “for the first time in human history”, they had “restored a once-extinct species through the science of de-extinction”.
Scientists studied a 13,000-year-old dire wolf tooth and a 72,000-year-old ear bone and compared their基因 s to those of gray wolves to discover differencesUsing cells from a gray wolf’s blood, the team edited the 14 key genes in the cells’ nuclei(核) to match those of the dire wolf.The edited nuclei were then put into surrogate(代孕的) dogs’ eggs and became embryos(胚胎), which were put into the dogs that later gave birth to three baby dire wolves.
Some scientists have criticized the project. Professor Nic Rawlence from the University of Otago in New Zealand questioned using fossil(化石) DNA, calling it too damaged to use. “Ancient DNA is like if you put fresh DNA in a 500 degree oven overnight, it comes out like dust,’ Rawlence said. He argued Colossal only created “a hybrid”a gray wolf with dire wolf features.
Colossal isn’t just reviving the dire wolf. Their list includes the woolly mammoth, dodo and Tasmanian tiger. But their mission goes beyond de-extinction: they use the same technique to prevent endangered species from disappearing.For example, they brought back four red wolves, an endangered species, using the same technique of restoring the dire wolf.
Colossal CEO Ben Lamm argues that genetic engineering is crucial to prevent the loss of the planet’s genetic diversity. “If we want a future that is both biodiverse and filled with people,” said Shapiro, Colossal’s chief science officer, “we should see what our big brains can to reverse some of the bad things we’ve done.”
Yet some warn there could be consequences. Introducing new species can cause damage to native ones, while cloning often leads to health problems in animals and surrogates.As Rawlence told the BBC, “Extinction is still forever. If we don’t have extinction, how are we going to learn?”
28. How did scientists recreate the dire wolf?
A.By using fossilized dire wolf embryos.B. By crossbreeding gray wolves and dogs.
C. By cloning based on preserved dire wolf DNA.D. By editing gray wolf genes and using surrogates.
29. What is Rawlence’s view of the project?
A. It disturbs natural evolution.B. It relies on outdated techniques.
C.It wastes valuable fossil resources.D. It falsely claims a complete return of the dire wolf.
30. Why does the author mention red wolves?
A. To illustrate the variety of revived species.B. To highlight the importance of biodiversity.
C. To show Colossal’s broader conservation efforts.D. To contrast with the dire wolf’s revival process.
31. What can be inferred about the project?
A.It dismisses scientific criticism.B. It poses potential ecological risks.
C. It is expected to end extinction soon.D. It is likely to be copied by its competitors.
D
When we encounter a troublesome problem, we often gather a group to brainstorm. We’ re looking to get the best ideas as quickly as possible. However, extensive evidence shows that when we generate ideas together, we fail to maximize collective intelligence. Brainstorming groups fall so far short of their potential. In fact, we get more ideas and better ones when we all work alone. As the humorist Dave Barry joked, “If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve its full potential, that word would be ‘meetings’.” But the problem isn’t meetings themselves— it’s how we run them.
Think about the brainstorming sessions you’ve attended.You’ve probably seen people bite their tongues due to the ego(自我价值感) threat (“I don’t want to look stupid.”), noise (“We can’t all talk at once.”)、 and conformity(遵从) pressure (“Let’s all jump on the boss’s bandwagon!”). Goodbye diversity of thought.
To unearth the hidden potential in teams, instead of brainstorming, we’ re better off shifting to a process called “brainwriting”. The initial steps are performed solo. You start by asking everyone to generate ideas separately.Nextyoupoolthemandsharethem anonymously(匿名地)among the group.Each member evaluates them on their own.Only then does the team come together to select and improve the most promising options.
Research by organizational behavior scholar Anita Woolley and her colleagues helps to explain why this method works. They find that a key to collective intelligence is balanced participation.In brainstorming meetings, it’s too easy for participants to support the biggest egos, the loudest voices, and the most powerful people.The brainwriting process makes sure that all ideas are brought to the table and all individuals are brought into the conversation. The goal isn’t to be the smartest person in the roomit’s to make the room smarter.
Collective intelligence begins with individual creativity.But it doesn’t end there. Individuals produce a greater volume and variety of novel ideas when they work alone.That means that they come up with not only more brilliant ideas than groups but also more terrible ideas than groups. It takes collective judgment to find the signal in the noise and bring the best ideas to fruition.
32.Which of the following can be classified as the “ego threat”?
A. What if no one favors my idea?B. Who cares about the consequence?
C.How can I make friends with him?D. Am I being open-minded to others’ ideas?
33.Which of the following shows the proper order of “brainwriting”?
①Polish the chosen idea together.②Generate ideas individually.
③Assess all ideas separately.④Pull together all ideas.
⑤Make the final pick.
A. ①③②④⑤B. ②③④⑤①C. ②④③⑤①D. ③①④⑤②
34.What is essential for enhancing collective intelligence according to Anita Woolley?
A. Avoiding making loud noises.B.Ensuring equal chance for all voices.
C. Getting the smartest to lead the groupD.Dividing tasks evenly within the group.
35. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Brainstorming: The Best Way to Promote Teamwork
B. Individual or Group Work: Which Is More Effective?
C. Brainwriting: A Better Way for Collective Intelligence
D. Collective Intelligence Comes Before Individual Creativity

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Punctuation(标点符号) has never been a mere formality to me. It shapes the flow of a text, guiding readers to pause or rush, to reflect or move on.36I tend to use far fewer commas(逗号) than traditional textbooks recommend, for I prefer a sharp and energetic tone over complex, twisting sentences. To me, punctuation is less a fixed rule than a personal tool to convey my unique voice.
37 He is deeply attached to it, while I almost always choose the long dash to connect ideas. Though they serve similar functions, the two marks create completely different reading experiences. He considers the semicolon(分号) a sign of formality and elegance, whereas I see the dash as more casual and closer to real speech.
A dash feels like a gentle reminder in conversation.A semicolon, by contrast, gives writing a dated, literary air typical of 19th-century prose(白话文). My father’s writing is packed with semicolons, resulting in a heavy, dull rhythm. 38 I would often struggle to stay focused after just a few paragraphs. I respected his carefulness but could not bear the tiring reading process.
I once insisted on strict punctuation even in text messages, capitalizing properly and never missing a single mark. It was troublesome, but I hated to appear careless. 39 After all, many people just want to communicate efficiently and effortlessly.
Text messages have their own unwritten punctuation rules. A simple “no” carries basic information, but a capitalized “No.” with a full stop can sound cold or annoyed. 40 In casual communication, punctuation carries hidden emotions and reshapes how messages are received.
A. He has a natural sense of rhythm.
B. I also have my own strong preferences.
C. He used to write me a letter every week.
D. My father is a devoted lover of the semicolon.
E. Some people dislike punctuation in daily chats.
F. We should therefore use punctuation wisely online.
G. However, I gradually learned to let go of this habit.

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。
It was a chilly Saturday morning in early December. Seventeen-year-old Emily, a high school senior, went on their winter hike in the Rocky Mountains with her father and their golden retriever(金毛猎犬), Cooper. Emily had been looking forward to this escape from college application stress. As soon as her father stopped the car, she grabbed her water bottle and the only energy bar she had taken from home and eagerly threw herself into the mountains, completely forgetting her cell phone in the car.
The first two hours were beautiful.Sunlight filtered through pine trees, and Cooper excitedly chased squirrels. They reached a scenic overlook and enjoyed the view. Then the sky darkened without warning.Within minutes, the first flakes of snow carried by the wind became a blinding whiteout. “We need to turn back now!” her father shouted. They tried to retrace their steps, but the trail markers were already buried by the layer of snow.
In the confusion, Cooper ran after a deer that crossed their path.Emily chased him without thinking, following the dog’s tracks for what felt like minutes, but when she stopped to catch her breath, she realized she could no longer see her father or hear his calls. Cooper was also nowhere to be seen. She was left alone in the wilderness. Frightened but trying to keep calm, she remembered survival tips from a documentary: stay put(待在原地) and find shelter. She spotted a rock overhang under some trees. Using her gloved hands, she cleared snow and gathered branches to make a simple temporary shelter. Curling up inside, she triedto keep warm as the temperature dropped sharply. She ate the only energy bar left and sipped some water from her bottle, forcing herself to stay awake to avoid hypothermia(体温过低).She thought about her father and Cooper, wondering whether they had made it back to safety. Hours later, she became very weak and exhausted.
Fortunately, Emily’s father managed to get back to the car park with Cooper, who had returned to him on his own. He drove quickly to the nearest ranger(护林员) station and reported Emily missing.A search team was sent out right away, using thermal imaging and snowmobiles to search through the storm.Emily’s father and Cooper followed closely.
注意：
(1)续写词数应为150个左右；
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Suddenly, Cooper’s familiar bar k broke the silence.
The next morning, they drove home as the storm passed.
