Dr. Tijana Blanusa, the principal scientist of the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), has a
passion for both science and the well-being of children. When she stood at the gate of her
children’s school, an idea flashed her mind: What if there are more hedges ( 树篱) in
playgrounds? Therefore, she decided to start a project to find out the best species of hedge to
plant in urban areas.
Dr. Blanusa's inspiration for this research came from a personal realization. As a parent
herself, she noticed that her own children had very limited access to nature in their urban state
primary school. “We’ve looked at hedges because they’re cheap, people can relate to them, and
they can do some good things for relatively little money in the urban environment in terms of
improving air quality, and maybe reducing noise.”
About 90 pupils of 10 years old will be involved in the experiment. A mix of hedges were
planted bordering the roadside in the school playground at Hoe Valley school, Woking. Then a
weather station was set up where the pupils can take measurements of the leaf surface’s
ability to influence soil moisture (水分) and the temperatures around the hedge. Then they will
take more measurements as time goes on.
英语试题 第4页（共11页）
学科网（北京）股份有限公司The children will be involved in learning more about the role of plants in improving air
quality and summertime cooling through hands-on science classes in school, led by the science
team. They will get an insight into what working as a scientist involves—planning and taking
measurements on the hedge and from the soil, and then analyzing collected data. Results will
be available in late spring.
Blanusa hopes that the project can be rolled out across the country, and the RHS is
figuring out how to do that. “We really want to make it as easy as practically possible for other
schools to do it. But because you are working with living things, they need looking after and
that needs to be a person on site who knows how to do it.”
24. What is the main aim of the project?
A. To reduce urban noise levels.
B. To increase hedges in schoolyards.
C. To identify best hedge species for cities.
D. To boost green spaces in public schools.
25. What motivated Blanusa to conduct her research?
A. Air Pollution out of school.
B. Kids' lack of nature access.
C. School principal’s request.
D. Hedge education for kids.
26. What do the students gain from participating in this project?
A. Experience on science team.
B. Hedge planting without soil.
C. Country-wide project rollout.
D. Hands-on work as a scientist.
27. What's a major obstacle for Blanusa in expanding the project?
A. Extra labor cost.
B. A tight budget.
C. Strict regulations.
D. Limited hedge species.

Ever wondered how many steps you should really be aiming for each day to stay healthy?
A study, led by the University of Granada (UGR) and published in one of the world's leading
journals, identifies for the first time the number of steps at which most people obtain the
greatest benefits.
The study has provided the first scientific proof for daily step count to significantly reduce
the risk of premature death: 8,000. It contradicts the popular belief that one should aim for
10,000 steps a day—an idea that came out of Japan in the 1960s but had no basis in science.
“We have shown that the more steps you take, the better, and that there is no extra number of
steps that has been proven to be harmful to health," explains Francisco B. Ortega, the lead
英语试题 第5页（共11页）
学科网（北京）股份有限公司author of the study.
The findings are based on a comprehensive analysis of data from twelve international
studies involving over 110,000 participants. The study reveals that even small increases in the
daily step count can lead to measurable health benefits. For those who lead a less active
lifestyle, an additional 500 steps can already result in health improvements. “This is good news
because not everyone can walk almost 9,000 steps a day, at least not at first, so you can set
small, reachable goals and gradually make progress and increase the number of steps per day,"
the researchers suggests.
So, should we stop walking when we reach 9000 steps? "Absolutely not," insists Ortega.
"More steps are never bad. Our study showed that even as many as 16,000 steps a day does not
pose a risk.” However, they also note that the daily step target should be age-appropriate.
"Our study gives people clear and easily measurable goals," Ortega concludes. "Counting
steps is much simpler, especially since most people have a smartphone or smartwatch these
days. The significance of our study lies in providing concrete and measurable targets for the
number of daily steps and thereby contributing to people's health."
28. What can we learn about the new study?
A. It originates from Japan.
B. It has reduced death rate.
C. It has scientific evidence.
D. It restricts extra daily steps.
29. What does the underlined word “premature” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Early. B. Unexpected. C. Delayed. D. Sudden.
30. What do researchers advise inactive individuals to do?
A. Increase walking pace.
B. Set achievable step goals.
C. Track progress every day.
D. Add other forms of exercise.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Pace vs Count: Walking Matters
B. Impact of Walking 16,000 Steps
C. Counting with Smart Wearables
D. 8000 vs 10,000: Mystery solved
D
What if your next job is just a weak tie away? A recent study, conducted by a team from
Stanford University and LinkedIn, revealed that weaker social connections have a greater
beneficial effect on job mobility(流动性) than stronger ties. Stanford Professor Erik Bryson
suggests a practical outcome of this study is to encourage job seekers to expand their reach
beyond immediate friends and colleagues. Weak ties, he explains, often provide more unique,
英语试题 第6页（共11页）
学科网（北京）股份有限公司beneficial information and connections.
The advantage of weak ties theory is based on the idea that weak ties allow distant group
of people to access novel information that can lead to new opportunities and innovation. Weak
ties are more likely to introduce new job information to a wider social network.
The research team conducted a five-year experimental study with LinkedIn, involving 20
million global participants and 600,000 new jobs created. Using LinkedIn's "People You May
Know" (PYMK) algorithm（算法）, the researchers tested the weak tie theory's impact on the
job market. The team randomly assigned LinkedIn users to receive either more weak or strong
tie recommendations from the PYMK algorithm, then tracked the labor mobility of these
groups over five years.
Their findings confirm that weaker ties enhance job mobility. Besides, the researchers
looked at differences across industries and found that adding weak ties creates significantly
more job opportunities in digital and high-tech industries. “This may reflect the fact that there
is more rapid change and need for novel information and connections in those industries,”
Bryson said.
He points out that the traditional methods used by policymakers to analyze labor markets
are quickly becoming outdated. “They need to recognize that the labor market, like all aspects
of the economy, is being digitized,” Bryson said. “It is important that we understand how the
algorithms used by digital platforms like LinkedIn impact the labor market.”
32. According to paragraph 1, what should job seekers do?
A. Expand network to include weak ties.
B. Limit the search to their current industry.
C. Strengthen connections with close friends.
D. Rely on strong connections for opportunities.
33. How did the researchers test the weak tie theory?
A. By carrying out on line surveys.
B. By interviewing LinkedIn employers.
C. By tracking user data and job mobility.
D. By conducting a large-scale job fair.
34.What can we learn about digital and high-tech industries?
A. They are fast-paced and value novelty.
B. They cause weak ties among employees.
C. Strong ties are the main source of mobility.
D. Weak ties do not contribute to job mobility.
35.What might Bryson advise policymakers to do?
A. Prioritize traditional methods only.
B. Ignore the impact of digital platforms.
C. Recognize the influence of digitization.
D. Understand the rules on digital platforms.

My first memory of academic anxiety was when I was in second grade. I had nightmares
about forgetting to do worksheets.
36 It’s not surprising that it found its way to me — in many ways, my younger
experiences with academic anxiety mirror my mother’s. The way I experience the world around
me has been shaped by anxiety for as far back as my memory could take me.
In high school, test anxiety ruled my world. Small quizzes would have me ready to throw
up; big exams made me extremely tired. 37 But I’d have to learn to deal with it.
When the pandemic (流行病) forced school to move online, school became more flexible
and it was a lot less serious. Assignments and tests were structured differently and things began
to gently shift for me. 38 Being able to take assessments from my own room,
completely alone, also helped calm my nerves. And my teachers provided me with comfort I
needed.
We should not wait for help. 39 Recently, a midterm didn’t trigger panic. No
extreme exhaustion or uneasiness, just healthy nervousness. The night before the test, I
watched TV, just thinking mostly about what I was going to order at Starbucks when I finished.
40 Achieving this mental state required significant time and energy. If anxiety is sure to
come, I’ll continue getting rid of it.
A. I couldn’t imagine another way.
B. This anxiousness comes from my family.
C. These thoughts would awake me at night.
D. Open-note tests helped me relieve my anxiety.
E. Although anxiety is still here, it’s not my “normal”.
F. It was a struggling way to pull myself through exams.
G. Instead, we should work on ourselves, and change for better ourselves.

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。
From childhood, I was never a fan of football or any sports. My disinterest in “The
Beautiful Game” was my attitude, avoiding discussions of football during school lunch breaks
in school or dismissing the sports section of the newspaper.
As I grew older, my lack of interest became more obvious. I would go shopping during big
games, posting photos on social media to show I had more free time than the people absorbed
in their yearly sports. I considered my disengagement from the world of sports an intellectual
advantage, a space in my brain reserved for non-sports activities.
However, this attitude of mine became a pressure to me. Casual conversations with friends’
fathers or fellow cab passengers became a challenge. The well-intentioned openers like, “Hey,
terrible season we’re having, eh?” or “Who do you support?” made me feel my heart sink, not
knowing what to reply. Though I still found football boring, I was starting to regret my outsider
status.
The turning point came when I became a father myself. Fearing that my boy Harvey would
lack the social involvement of football, I decided to change. So, I brought a football to the
英语试题 第10页（共11页）
学科网（北京）股份有限公司playground and I bought him a mini football table at home. I even took the brave step of
buying tickets to watch our local team, Boreham Wood.
The friendly atmosphere of the Meadow Park Stadium, the home ground of Boreham
Wood, immediately surprised me: low-key, free parking on the street, and £2.50 for a bag of
chips. Families surrounded us, all with a real connection to the players on the field.
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。
Slowly but surely, I found myself engaged in the game.
With each visit to the stadium, our connection to football deepened.
