European explorers “discovered” Antarctica in the 1820s. However, they were likely not the first navigators to sail the cold
waters of the southern Pacific Ocean. The indigenous (土著的) people of mainland New Zealand — Māori — have a
significantly longer history with Earth’s southernmost continent. A recent paper in the Journal of the Royal Society of New
Zealand aims to bring to light the contributions of the Māori people to Antarctic voyages.
Led by Dr. Priscilla Wehi, the team looked at Māori oral histories as well as “grey literature” — research outside of
conventional academic areas, and found connections between the Maori and the waters south of New Zealand have been
occurring since the earliest traditional voyaging. “The narratives of under-represented groups and their connection to Antarctica
remain poorly documented and acknowledged in the research literature,” Wehi said. “This paper begins to fill this gap.”
The researchers first highlight an early 7th century southern voyage by a Māori chief Hui Te Rangiora and his crew. This
early explorer is said to have reached the Southern or Antarctic Ocean, the Ross Ice Shelf on the edge of Antarctica, where the
navigator encountered snow and icebergs. This would have likely made them the first humans to see Antarctic waters, over a
thousand years before the European expedition.
Even with the arrival of European explorers, Maori special knowledge was valued. Te Atu — a Ngāpuhi man — has been
called the first Māori and first New Zealander to help map the Antarctic coastline in 1840.Māori were also part of the “HeroicAge of Antarctic Exploration” in the late 19th and early 20th century, helping European explorers with medicine, construction,
scientific practice and more on journeys to Antarctica.
More recently, a number of Māori have participated in New Zealand’s Antarctic science programs, doing study on
everything from the effects of climate change to penguin population ecology. The team behind this latest paper hopes that more
and more Māori people will contribute their knowledge and experiences to advance the scientific enquiry on this remote
continent.
24. What is the main topic of the new paper?
A. The European exploration of Antarctica.
B. The history of Māori voyages to Antarctica.
C. The scientific research conducted in Antarctica.
D. The effects of climate change on Antarctic ecosystems.
.
25 What phenomenon does Dr. Priscilla Wehi describe in paragraph 2?
A. Traveling to Antarctica is now popular. B. Māori community deserves more attention.
C. Literature goes beyond conventional research. D. Māori exploration is often ignored by scholars.
26. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. European explorers’ journeys to Antarctica. B. Māori’s trouble in exploring the Antarctica.
C. Māori’s contributions to Antarctic exploration. D. European explorers’ help with Māori’s voyages.
27. What can be expected about Maori’s future role according to the team?
A. It will change due to the team’s help. B. It will dominate the scientific research.
C. It will be superior to European scientists. D. It will add depth to the Antarctic research.

Suy credits his interest in photography to a French journalist he met in 2000. Since 2012. he has used his love of
photography for a good cause: protecting wildlife. As more and more animal species began to disappeer from Kandal Province,
he grew worried. So he created a photo project which he hoped would bring more attention to the loss of natural habitats in
Cambodia.
He hopes to educate Cambodians about the importance of bird species and the effect they have on nature. He said, “The
biggest issue is the damage to habitats and poaching".Besides that, it is due to the demand from the rich who desire wild meat
and who consider wild meat chemical-free.
His photography work has shown “how lack of education and law enforcemen” makes the problem worse. Hunting is at
the root of Cambodian culture.“Education is very limited,” he said. “And in terms of legal enforcement, only one organization
is standing out, and that is the Wildlife Alliance.” He noted that the group had carried out a number of successful crackdowns
against hunting. But there were few major campaigns on wildlife hunting.as a whole.
Protected areas within forests have disappeared at the same rate as forests in other parts of the country Poaching and
hunting have led to the loss of animal and plant species in Cambodia.
To Chantha Nasak, a wildlife expert, the damage to wildlife habitats is the main reason for the decrease in the number ofwild animals.He says the destruction of forests and the use of land for agricultural and other purposes are the biggest threats, as
well as the climate change.
However. there are already agreements between some NGOs and the Cambodian government to help wild species. Also.
Chantha Nasak says some communities are working together to protect wildlife around the country.
“All Cambodian citizens should join hands in the protection of wildlife, not just the NGOs and the government,” he said.
“It should be everyone.”
28. What problem did Suy meet in his photography work?
A. Cambodians have a poor knowledge of protecting wildlife
B. Cambodians are lacking their culture of hunting
C. Cambodians like major campaigns on hunting wildlife
D. Cambodians have limited education about hunting.
29. Why do the rich find wild meat in Cambodia?
A. It contains high nutrition. B. It is free of chemieals.
C. It tastes delicious and fresh. D. It is a symbol of social positions.
30. What is the main factor in leading to the decrease in wild animalsChantha thinks ?
A. the climate change B. the wild meat trade
C. the damage to wildlife habitats D. the still-not-prohibited hunting
31. What is the main idea of the text?
A. A Cambodian is teaching the hunting culture.
.
B A photographer has a good knowledge of wildlife.
C. A photographer is struggling with poachers
D. A Cambodian photographer urges to protect wildlife

“I like pigs,” Winston Churchill supposedly once said. “Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.”
Whether Churchill’s contemporary George Orwell also liked pigs is less clear. But he, too, surely saw something in them that
was lacking in many domestic (驯养的) animals, for it was they who ended up running the show in his novel, Animal Farm.
Pigs, then, are intelligent social creatures.
And, like all animals, they sometimes fight. Some pigs tend to be attackers; others tend to be victims. Who is what
depends largely on weight. Among pigs, pounds mean power. The attacker might bite, kick or push the victim. Most conflicts
end in seconds, but some last a minute or two.
In most animal species fights would be like that. However, many of the conflicts among pigs Dr Norscia, a biologist,
observed had interested parties beyond the fighters. He therefore wanted to understand the role of these bystanders in solving
conflicts—and what this says about pigs’ cognitive (认知的) abilities.
Since there was usually not enough time for a bystander pig to become involved in the heat of a conflict, though this did
occur, Dr Norscia looked at what happened in the three minutes immediately following a fight. Sometimes, he found, thefighters reconciled with each other on their own. The more distantly related the fighters were, the more frequently this
happened. Dr Norscia guessed that relations between close relatives are more secure to start with, so rebuilding friendly
relations rapidly is less necessary for them.
On other occasions, however, a third pig stepped in. Sometimes this bystander interacted with the attacker, which reduced
the number of attacks coming after. Sometimes, the bystander interacted with the victim. This appeared to calm the victim
down, for it reduced anxiety-related behavior.
Social intelligence need not, though, be entirely selfless. Pigs are more likely to step in after a conflict if they are closely
related to either the attacker or the victim. This is probably an example of kin selection (亲属选择), which favors the
development of behavior.
32. Why are Churchill and Orwell mentioned at the beginning?
A. To show their preference for pigs. B. To add some related backgrounds.
C. To introduce the topic of the text. D. To present their attitude to animals.
33. What is special about pigs’ fights?
A. They aim to show power. B. They have audiences.
C. They last a little bit longer. D. They happen more often.
34. What does the underlined word “reconciled” probably mean in paragraph 4?
A. Caught up. B. Kept in touch. C. Made up. D. Changed in tune.
35. Which of the following reflects pigs’ social intelligence?
A. Offering comfort to victim pigs. B. Forming special bonds with strangers.
C. Sticking to their behavior. D. Caring for others with selfless devotion.

How to Overcome the Harmful Habit of Judging
Ah, punctuality — the art of being precisely on time. It’s a concept so deeply rooted in some cultures that even being a
minute late can cause a small-scale panic attack. ____36____ Let’s examine whether punctuality is the defining feature of a
superior society or merely another subjective construct.
Each part of the world has a unique relationship with time, enriching the fabric of global culture. In Japan, for example,
you’re always expected to arrive on time, and preferably a few minutes early.
____37____ Tough luck, but the next one will be there precisely on the dot. In contrast, the Philippines has a more relaxed
approach to time. If someone says 3 o’clock, arriving around 3:30 is common and expected. This isn’t laziness, but a cultural
preference for living in the moment.
But does being punctual make a culture more advanced? The Swiss are celebrated for their precision and punctuality, often
cited as a perfect example of efficiency. Their trains run on time, their watches are the gold standard. ____38____ And
Switzerland is often ranked as one of the most developed and happiest countries in the world, but let’s wait a bit to conclude.
Consider the case of Brazil, where “Brazilian time” is a well-known concept. ____39____ If you attend a party at thespecified time, you’ll likely find the host still in their bathrobe. Many Brazilians have a laid-back approach to life.They don’t
sweat the small stuff like running five minutes late because they’re busy enjoying life. Many live by the motto, “Tudo bem,”
which means “It’s all good.” Honestly, they seem to be onto something.
So, is punctuality essential? It depends on what cultures you are in. Whether you’re a stickler for punctuality or more laid-
back, what truly matters is how you spend your time. ____40____ Let’s try to find that middle ground where we can respect
others’ time while embracing the joy of living in the moment. Ultimately, time is just a construct, and life is too short to stress
about being late.
A. Miss a train by a minute?
B. Punctuality is timeless art.
C. But is punctuality essential?
D. In this context, punctuality is flexible.
E. You could set your clock by their daily routines.
F. There, being late is not only accepted but expected.
G. Are you enjoying the journey or constantly watching the clock?

You can find Jacob Reno at his neighborhood market on Sundays. He doesn’t sell produce. Instead, he offers portraits (肖
像) — ____41____ ones. He sits behind a table with a sign that reads: “TERRIBLE PORTRAITTS, $5, STERRIBLE
MINUTES.” Every week, people ____42____ for their turn to take home a hand-drawn portrait that might look like them —
or not. Since May, Reno has ____43____ more than 500 people. His pictures are ____44____ yet charming.

He did not ____48____ drawing until this past spring. He left his media job and bought a piece of poster board to
____49____ his services. He set up shop for the first time in May. To his ____50____, a stream of strangers stopped for their

them. He sets a(n) ____52____ for five minutes, but he always goes over. Reno said what he loves about his project is that it

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
In Chinese brush painting, bamboo is never regarded as a mere __56___(botany) subject. Its hollow stems serve as a
metaphor for scholarly humility—the conscious emptying of one’s mind to receive wisdom. When ___57__ artist paints its
joints with deliberate strokes, they capture Confucius’ teaching: “The gentleman is determined but never arrogant”.
Observe __58___masters like Zheng Xie in the Qing Dynasty would paint bamboo leaves. Sharp ink-dipped strokes stick
upward like swords, while the tips curve downward in a bow, __59___(represent) “gang rou bing ji” , the harmony of
strength and flexibility. This philosophy extends ___60___art: traditional scholars’ bamboo-fluted desks __61___(design) to
whisper when they were brushed by sleeves, ___62___reminded them that “Pride breaks bamboo; humility bends it whole”.
Even the technique speaks. The "broken ink" (破墨) method ___63___(use) for bamboo trunks requires layered washes of
thinner ink. The artist must accept accidental bleeds—imperfections that convey __64___(vital). Here lies the deepest lesson:
true resilience isn't about perfection, but the courage __65___(embrace) imperfection while standing tall.

67. 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 sunny day. Anabia, an 11-year-old girl, was excited because today was the drawing contest at her school. Anabia
was really good at drawing and usually got the highest marks in art. Her teachers would often ask her to make posters for
school plays and call on her during free periods to help with cuttings, drawing, shading, colouring and much more. There was
an art competition taking place in school and Anabia had worked really hard and wanted to win it. But there was one thing that
was disturbing her today.
Recently, a new girl, Rida, had joined her class. She was also interested in art but she was not as good at drawing as
Anabia was. Miss Saima, the art teacher, helped Rida and taught her tips and tricks to improve her drawing skill. And now Rida
was also considered among the best artists in grade six.
Rida was quick, smart and intelligent. Anabia became jealous of Rida’s intelligence and felt that the new girl would be
tough to beat.
So that day, for the art competition, Miss Saima took all the students to the art room, told them their roll numbers and gave
important instructions. Anabia’s roll number was 16, while Rida was number 17. The bell rang, indicating the beginning of the
contest. Miss Saima wrote on the board: make a scene of a sunset with a flowing river and a sailing boat.
Anabia knew that the best tools to make a sunset were oil pastels (油画棒). Anabia started to look for her oil pastels in her
art bag. Then, after looking through the bag, she remembered that she had left them at home. Immediately, she got up to tell
Miss Saima.
Miss Saima was disappointed at Anabia’s carelessness and told her that she could not help her, as it was her responsibility
to come prepared for the contest that had been announced a week in advance. Anabia’s best friends were also there, but none of
them offered to share anything, much to Anabia’s surprise and disappointment.

【答案】Hello everyone,
Welcome to our school’s vegetable garden! We are thrilled to have students from our friendly school abroad visiting our
garden this weekend.
Our vegetable garden is a place where students come to plant and nurture a variety of vegetables and flowers. It provides a
hands-on learning experience for our students, teaching them about the importance of labour. We students have put in a lot of
hard work and dedication to maintain this garden, and we are excited to share the fruits of our labour with you.
We hope you enjoy exploring our vegetable garden and learning about the joys of gardening. Thank you for visiting us
today!
【答案】 Anabia’ s eyes filled with tears. She found something hard to swallow. To her sadness, she lost the art
competition before she even started. Just then, a box of oil painting sticks appeared in front of her eyes. “If you don’t mind, I
think we can share these.”, Rida, the girl who she once hoped to beat, extended a helping hand. Anabia hesitated, but
quickly they were both devoted into their works. Time flies in the blink of an eye. After handing in their works, Anabia reach
out her hand.
Then Rida held Anabia’s hand, and the two girls waited for the winners to be announced. “I’m sorry. I once became
jealous of your intelligence, and hoped to beat you” , Anabia apologized, sincerely. Rida hugged her delightedly and said she
hoped they would be friends in the future. It seemed that who would be the winner was not so important at the moment. The
sun shone warm sunlight into the room and also shone on the hearts of the two girl. The world always prepare surprise for the
people who like sun. They both got the first place.
