Volunteer days in RMNP are back! What better way to show your love for Rocky Mountain National Park than by investing your time and energy toward a meaningful cause? Get ready to roll up your sleeves (袖子) and contribute to the biodiversity of the park in this event!
The RMNP Vegetation Program has worked for many years to plant riverside saplings (幼苗) into areas of the Kawuneeche Valley that have been impacted by changed river course and wildfire. We are committed to bringing sapling populations back to their historical liveliness. Work alongside devoted staff and fellow volunteers to help plant more than 500 saplings! Participants should be prepared for a rewarding experience. If you’re ready to take on the challenge, join us to help these baby trees grow!
What to expect:
Volunteers will be planting native saplings within a wet plain site in exposed conditions (full sun, rain, wind). Planting will involve moving saplings with dirt (40 pounds per tree), kneeling, digging with hand tools in heavy and wet soil, and attention to careful planting techniques.
Minimum age: 18 years
Time: 8:00 am — 3:00 pm
Parking/ meeting location: Timber Lake Trailhead parking lot, we will transport volunteers to the worksite in order to minimize vehicles in limited parking areas.
What to bring: Layers (it can be hot or snowy, even on the same day), raincoat, sun protection (sunscreen, hat, sunglasses), work gloves if you prefer your own, day pack, lunch and snacks, and plenty of water per person.
21. What is the goal of the program?
A. To train tree planters. B. To study biodiversity.
C. To promote local tourism. D. To restore the ecosystem.
22. Which of the following best describes the event?
A. Mentally challenging. B. Socially engaging. C. Physically demanding. D. Culturally enriching.

For more than two decades, Isabella Ducrot, an artist who was born in Naples in 1931, has lived in an apartment in the center of Rome. When I knocked on her door this past spring, Ducrot, who is tall and upright, grasped my hand more firmly than I would have expected, saying, “I must tell you immediately that I have never been so happy in my life!”
Only in the past five years has Ducrot, who turned ninety-four in June, become internationally recognized for her art, which she didn’t even begin making until she was in her fifties. When creating her works, she stands and uses a brush sometimes attached to a stick, sweeping ink or paint onto paper. Typically made in series, her works are light, energetic, and beautiful. An Italian scholar writes that he, as well as many others, was amazed to discover that the creator of such delicate works is “a lady who is well over the age of eighty.” Of course, this reaction says as much about the limitations of the observer’s imagination as it does about the reaches of Ducrot’s.
Andrea Viliani, who will exhibit a selection of Ducrot’s works this summer, told me Ducrot is fortunate that her preferred methods and materials remain relatively easy for her to handle, compared with, say, sculpting metal or painting with oils on heavy canvases (画布). “Her work is easy to hold, easy to paint, and easy to store,” Viliani said. “It is very convenient that she chose something so soft.”
We tend to assign to the elderly the vague (模糊的) and often fading quality of wisdom, thus suggesting that their own creative and intellectual (智力的) growth has come to an end, and that their only role left is to give advice to others. Ducrot’s life offers an alternative possibility: an individual might keep wide-eyed and open to experience until the very end.
24. What does the author intend to show about Ducrot in paragraph 1?
A. Her wealth. B. Her talent. C. Her passion. D. Her reputation.
25. What does the Italian scholar’s reaction reveal?
A. He prefers delicate works. B. Ducrot’s works mask her age.
C. He has a sharp eye for art. D. Ducrot’s works limit his imagination.
26. What characterizes Ducrot’s technique?
A. Precision. B. Efficiency. C. Uniqueness. D. Manageability.
27. What message does Ducrot’s life convey to the elderly?
A. Ignoring the effects of aging. B. Restarting the growth of wisdom.
C. Remaining engaged with the world. D. Offering advice to next generations.
C
The internet of old was like an active market. It was noisy, chaotic, and dynamic. Every click brought you somewhere new, sometimes unpredictable, letting you uncover the joy in exchanging information and thoughts. The internet of today, however, speaks in comforting statements and offers a smooth experience with constant praise.
This has robbed us of something in our nature: the pleasure of exploring and questioning. We’ve willingly become creatures of instant satisfaction. Why wait? Why struggle? The change may seem innocent, but it’s also transforming our relationship with the mental effort required to explore uncertainties. By delegating such effort, do we still own the capabilities that help us navigate (定位) the unknown or even think for ourselves? It is becoming clear that even if the current risk posed by AI doesn’t bring about the collapse of civilization, it will still bring about the quiet yet disastrous decline of what makes us human.
Part of that decline is caused by choice. And the most powerful way to shape someone’s choices is by gaining their trust. Every model is a memory, trained not just on data that help anticipate what we want, but also how to answer in ways that comfort us and confirm us, and in doing so, they manage to maximize engagement and avoid debate. Designed to please us, chatbots don’t simply answer our questions; they shape how we interact with them and determine what gets shown, what gets smoothed out, and what gets silenced.
The early internet was never perfect, but it had a purpose: to connect us, to redistribute power, to widen access to knowledge. Today’s systems are the opposite: Prediction has replaced participation, and certainty has replaced search. But the door to a better future hasn’t shut yet. We can still choose systems that serve rather than control, that offer possibilities instead of mere efficiency. Our humanity and future depend on it.
28. What has the internet lost in its development according to paragraph 1?
A. Diverse viewpoints. B. Extensive information. C. Rapid replies. D. Friendly atmosphere.
29. What does the underlined word “delegating” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Putting in. B. Keeping up. C. Turning to. D. Handing off.
30. How do chatbots gain our trust?
A. By memorizing previous choices. B. By providing approving responses.
C. By presenting opposing ideas. D. By resolving potential problems.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Convenience of the Digital Era B. The Decline of Human Interactions
C. The Rise of AI Answering Models D. The Price of a Smooth Cyberworld

More than 100,000 people in the United States are currently waiting for organ transplants, and many face long delays or rejection even when a suitable donor is found. One promising alternative is regenerative medicine, which aims to grow personalized organs using a patient’s own cells. Ensuring that oxygen and nutrients can reach every part of a newly grown organ is an ongoing challenge. Researchers at Stanford have created new tools to design and 3D print the incredibly complex vascular (血管的) trees needed to carry blood throughout an organ.
The researchers built an algorithm (算法) to create vascular trees similar to native organ blood vessel architectures. They ensured that the vasculature would evenly distribute blood and successfully shorten the time needed to generate the network. While 3D printers aren’t yet up to the task of printing such a fine-scale network, the researchers were able to design and print a vascular model with 500 branches. Using a 3D bio-printer, the researchers created a thick ring loaded with human cells and built a network of 25 vessels running through it.
The researchers are quick to note that these vascular networks are not yet functional blood vessels — they don’t have muscle cells or anything else that they would need to work on their own. “This is the first step toward generating really complex vascular networks,” said Dominic Rütsche, one of the researchers. “We can print them at never before-seen complexities, but they are not yet fully functional vessels. We’re working on that.”
Turning these designs into functioning blood vessels is just one of the many tasks that the researchers are working on. “This is a critical step in the process,” Dominic said. “We have successfully generated enough heart cells from human stem cells to print the whole human heart, and now we can design a good, complex vascular tree to keep them fed and living. We are now actively putting the two together: cells and vasculature, at organ scale.”
32. What does Stanford’s research mainly focus on?
A. Increasing available donor organs. B. Removing deadly organ rejections.
C. Designing workable vascular networks. D. Developing personalized 3D bio-printers.
33. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about concerning the research?
A. Its achievements. B. Its principles. C. Its objectives. D. Its drawbacks.
34. How does Dominic describe the research?
A. Promising but incomplete. B. Worthwhile but risky.
C. Fruitful but questionable. D. Practical but costly.
35. What will the researchers do next?
A. Employ stem cells to print whole organs. B. Integrate cells and vessels on a larger scale.
C. Generate more cells for further experiments. D. Produce vascular trees to sustain heart cells.

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。
We tend to respect and even admire those who exhibit a lot of willpower. The friend who hits up the gym five times a week. The colleague who manages to stay calm and focused in nearly every situation. Research suggests that these people are not only viewed as trustworthy but also morally superior. 36 Surveys show that many Americans are feeling heightened levels of anxiety and stress, which can make delaying gratification (满足感) and containing desires even harder.
37While you can use willpower to manage your emotions or fight temptation (诱惑), it may not be the most effective method. To improve willpower, it boils down to just trying harder. But self-control involves a set of skills that can be learned. Preparation, mind-set and the ability to either avoid or reframe temptation can be far more effective than trying to force that desire down.
Developing your self-control starts with self-empowerment. 38 After all, if you don’t think you can control yourself then why would you make any efforts to do so? Focus on the times when you have succeeded in accomplishing a goal related to the one you’re focused on now. You can also try thinking about times when a family member or friend was successful and ask them for any tips. 39
There are multiple strategies for improving self-control, like creating routines, monitoring your progress and editing your inner circle. Trying several is more effective than picking just one. And remember, attaining better self-control is not an all-or-nothing pursuit. 40 Even so, you can still make progress towards your goal. The key is to keep going.
A. If they can do it, you can too.
B. You may need support from others.
C. But do not confuse willpower with self-control.
D. Yet, willpower is in short supply in modern life.
E. Self-control is important for people to achieve goals.
F. Believing you are capable of it can help you succeed.
G. You may slip up sometimes or allow yourself a cheat day.

For decades, I lived behind a “dog wall”. My 41 began in childhood when a massive dog suddenly pushed me off the sidewalk. To me, dogs weren’t man’s best friend but 42 creatures that acted without reason.

Initially, I was filled with 44.

Even now I cannot say whether my 48 was down or whether my son’s excitement 49 me, but Murphy was welcomed to the dinner.
It proved that Murphy was gentle and 50. He didn’t bark, beg for food, or cause any chaos. 51, he sat quietly, his big brown eyes melting my long-standing 52. When he nuzzled (蹭) against my knee, his soft coat felt like a warm blanket, 53 the terrible memories of my past.
While I am still not ready to become a (an) 54 pet owner — preferring the “grandparent” role where I can 55 the responsibility at the end of the day — Murphy has officially wagged (摇尾) his way into my heart.

In Gonghe, Qinghai Province, Yehdor the herder (牧民) carries food and water while watching his sheep graze (吃草) across the summer landscape. Making the scene unique is the blue sea of solar panels overhead, as the sheep’s grazing grounds 56 (be) a photovoltaic (光伏的) industrial park.
The Talatan photovoltaic industrial park covers 609 square kilometers and the flat land here enjoys rich solar energy resources, with 57 average annual sunshine duration of nearly 3,000 hours.
The park’s enormous collection of solar panels not only generates electricity for distant provinces 58 acts as both a sunshade and a windbreak for the surrounding land. With average wind speeds 59 (reduce) by half, vegetation coverage in the area has grown to 80 percent.
However, this vegetation growth hasn’t been 60 issues. The growing grass can 61 (dramatic) lower panel efficiency and cause fires in the dry winter months. To address this, the park invited villagers to raise their sheep under the solar panels. The sheep fertilize the area, allowing a green ecological chain 62 (form). In addition, herders can sell some of their sheep, 63 (secure) great financial benefits. Last year, 600 sheep 64 (task) with protecting the solar panels in the park.
The photovoltaic industrial park has set an example of 65 industrial development, traditional practices, and environmental protection work hand in hand. The area is able to produce more power while improving the environment and maintaining the locals’ traditional way of life.

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。
Adam loved football. He loved the smell of the grass as he slid across it. And he loved the excitement when he shot the ball into the net. There was nothing in this world that could weigh the same as football in his heart. He dreamed of growing up to be a professional footballer.
Every day Adam would go to the field and practise with his friends. He still remembered when he asked to join the older boys, they teased (取笑) him, “You’re too small. Football is for big, tough players, not for someone your size.” Then when they saw he could run, kick, and shoot as well as they could, the teasing stopped. Adam played hard and really had a gift. He even became the only one in the group who could do the bicycle kick (倒挂金钩)!
One day after school, Adam went to the playground to practise as usual. The boys were talking quietly, casting excited glances at a man who was watching the field. As Adam joined the group, Captain Harold told him the man, called Mr. Smith, was looking for players for his football camp and there would be a tryout match the next day. Adam could hardly contain his excitement. The camp meant there would be professional coaches to train him! He would do anything to join it.
After the practice, Mr. Smith approached and Adam crowded close so he could see him. “Who wants to come to my football camp and really learn to play this game?” Mr. Smith asked. Excited hands shot up. Mr. Smith shook them all and shook Adam’s hand last.
“Little man, I saw you run fast,” he said. “But you are far too thin and short for my camp. You’ll get knocked down in a second.”
Adam looked down so no one would see his disappointment. “It’s not fair! Adam’s been practising with us and he’s the only one who ever did the bicycle kick!” Harold argued.
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。
Inspired, Adam decided to seize the opportunity. The next day Adam came to the tryout. |
