Many people assume that siblings naturally grow up to be close, but for me, that wasn’t the case.
When I was seven, I moved from London to Florida with my two sisters, while my four brothers
stayed behind. We didn’t reunite until I was seventeen. The long separation and lack of
communication caused our bond to fade completely.
This emotional distance still affects me. I feel grief when I see other families enjoying sibling
vacations or holiday jokes. I’ve come to understand that our broken relationships were caused by
family changes, poor communication, and favoritism (偏袒) — experiences that are common for
many. Therapist (治疗专家) Phebe Brako-Owusu explains that sudden family shifts without
explanation or emotional support can seriously hurt children. Favoritism, too, can damage sibling
trust and create pressure, even for the so-called “favorite” child.
Understanding the causes helped, but healing didn’t begin until I started therapy. Therapy helped
me recognize how not having my feelings understood led to bitterness and silence. It also helped me
take responsibility for my role in these conflicts and show empathy toward my siblings’ experiences.
Experts suggest doing personal work before trying to reconnect with siblings, and if you do choose
to talk, use “I” statements and be clear about your purpose — whether it’s trying to make peace or
setting boundaries.
As a parent now, I reflect on how parents can prevent such issues. Brako-Owusu recommends
encouraging open communication, avoiding favoritism, and creating space for siblings to bond. Even
if a relationship can’t be repaired now, it doesn’t mean it never will. I hold on to hope that someday
my siblings and I may reconnect.
24. What can be inferred about the author from Paragraph 1?
A. She remained close to her brothers through letters.
B. She was excited to live in the U. S. with her sisters.
C. She never wanted to be taken away from hometown.
D. She was emotionally affected by the move at age seven.
25. Which of the following would Brako-Owusu most likely disapprove of?
A. Sharing decision-making.
B. Not explaining family change.
C. Seeking for psychological help.
D. Not favoring a certain child.
26. What is advised before trying to reconnect with siblings, according to experts?
A. Going through necessary self-reflection.
B. Focusing on building new family traditions.
C. Waiting for siblings to initiate the conversation.
D. Breaking down boundaries without conditions.
27. What is the author’s attitude towards repairing her relationship with her siblings?
A. Doubtful. B. Optimistic.
C. Indifferent. D. Reserved.

Hiking is tricky when you’re carrying a threatened species. Ally Whitbread carefully jumped
over logs while carrying a cooler full of tiny, rare snails. “I feel like I’ve got 500 babies to take care
of — just a very crazy mother hen,” she said.
The Chittenango ovate amber snails(蜗牛) inside are facing extinction. Only dozens are
estimated to remain at one waterfall in Upstate New York. But Whitbread is part of a team
transporting a lab-bred population to a new, remote home for a shot at survival. Such a recovery
process can take years to decades, and success is obscure, but scientists are racing to better
understand our planet’s biodiversity before species are wiped out.
The hike to a hidden waterfall is a chance to examine what makes them thrive in the wild, or
what doesn’t.
These efforts to study rare species can unlock their hidden benefits to humans, said Professor
Laura Dee. “Our idea that we might want to have a species down the line comes from the uncertainty
of what the future is going to bring, and what role that species might play,” Dee said.
Like the once-rare Madagascar rosy periwinkle(长春花) — a compound from the plant is now
used in leukemia(白血病) treatments. While not every species will cure cancer, Dee said more study
is needed because we don’t fully know what will happen if we lose them.
Even just observing species in their habitats can prove helpful. University of Utah biology
professor Jack Longino is cataloging the planet’s ants. He said understanding how the insects
,
communicate could help programmers with robotics. “To create things to make new technologies,
we’re sort of imitating nature all the time,” Longino said.
The Chittenango ovate amber snail doesn’t have any known unique traits critical to humans, and
it’s been a lengthy journey just to attempt to save them. The half-hour hike to the new habitat is the
latest step in a process that’s lasted more than five years.
28. Which can best replace the underlined word “obscure” in Paragraph 2?
A. Undeniable. B. Unpredictable. C. Unavoidable. D. Incomparable.
29. Why should we save the Chittenango ovate amber snails?
A. Because they help programmers create robotics.
B. Because we have a great affection for this rare snail.
C. Because they can be adopted to treat cancer and leukemia.
D. Because we are uncertain about their hidden benefits.
30. What are Paragraph 5 and Paragraph 6 mainly about?
A. The benefits of sustaining and studying rare species.
B. The advantages of observing how ants communicate.
C. The consequences of losing rare animals and plants.
D. The healing effect of the compound from the periwinkle.
31. Which is the best title for the text?
A. Explore the Rare Species B. Save the Extinct Species
C. Small Snails, Long journey D. Tiny Snails, Great Benefits

Precision agriculture(精准农业) represents a crucial advancement in contemporary farming.
One innovative application employs real-time imaging to visualize(使显现) how tiny drops of liquid
are forming on plant surfaces. Different from conventional agriculture where farmers often rely on
general estimates and application of pesticides(杀虫剂)across the entire field, this technology helps
farmers maximize productivity while minimizing inputs.
This development originated from the work of Vishnu Jayaprakash, who had some family
exposure to the process of spraying(喷洒) crops and recognized that the main challenge in that
process is how to make water-based sprays interact effectively with surfaces of plants, which is
influenced by various factors including the design of the device, the temperature, wind and other
conditions at the time of spraying.
To effectively address this issue, Jayaprakash developed a two-camera system. It can be
connected to typical spraying equipment and use imaging of the spraying solution on the target
plants to determine what adjustments are needed. The system can be used to make changes in order
to get the spray coverage “just right.” This allows farmers to use only 20-30% of the product per acre
while maintaining key functions like pest control, fertilization, and growth regulation. The
advancement in precision agriculture is helping farmers reduce costs while maintaining crop
protection.
Susan Scheufele, a researcher at the University of Massachusetts, has conducted field trials with
this technology on vegetable crops. In trials for removing cotton leaves, it has shown positive results
even when used at 50% of the minimum application rate that is recommended on the product label.
The primary benefit of precision agriculture methods lies beyond cost savings. Despite the fact
that this technology still has a long way to go, its adoption ensures that chemical remains in crops are
well below harmful levels, safeguarding ecosystems and food safety.
32. What can be learned about precision agriculture in paragraph 1?
A. It visualizes plants more clearly. B. It uses pesticides more accurately.
C. It continuously monitors plant growth. D. It estimates the need of the entire field.
33. How does Jayaprakash’s two-camera system address the challenge?
A. By choosing various spraying equipment.
B. By calculating the amount of pesticide required.
C. By making adjustments to enhance spray efficiency.
D. By using imaging to monitor the temperature and wind.
34. What can be the conclusion of Susan Scheufele’s field trials?
A. The technology is workable with less costs.
B. The technology is useless for removing leaves.
C. The technology is only suitable for some plants.
D. The technology needs to be improved for better results.
35. What's the purpose of the passage?
A.To solve pesticide spraying problems. B. To help farmers reduce their costs.
C. To introduce a new agricultural technology. D. To explain a technology's working principle.

Wisdom is a remarkable accumulation of experience, knowledge, and sound judgement. It is not
merely a desirable quality but an absolute necessity in a world filled with challenges and conflicts.
36 It shines our way ahead towards the best decisions.
Growing up with fairy tales and fantasy movies, I always associated wisdom with Gandalf,
Yoda, and Albus Dumbledore. The truth is that there is more to wisdom than this, although these
characters have given every one of us many important lessons. 37 And how?
Variety is more than the spice of life. Beginning new experiences is also an avenue for acquiring
wisdom. You will never grow from being in your comfort zone, which is why you need to get out of
it. Do change your routine and experience as much as what life takes you to! In fact, there’re always
several sides to a life story. To identify the truth, you need to be receptive to different views. Never
base your perspective on the most popular opinions. 38 Instead, train your mind to be a
judgment-free space for ideas. Open-mindedness opens new pathways to profound insights.
What if you are desperate for personal growth and improvement? A shortcut to do that is to have
wise people as your tutors, with whom the more time you spend, the more transfer of knowledge
there will be. Your tutors can be whoever is wiser than you. 39
40 Remember developing wisdom is beyond a destination. It is important to acknowledge that
it takes a span of your life and continuous effort to mature in wisdom as you navigate life’s
challenges.
A. Nor is it emotion-based.
B. Rome wasn’t built in a day.
C. It isn’t something you are born with.
D. Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens.
E. Actually, everyone should have a little wisdom.
F. To sail in the world, wisdom becomes our guiding light.
G. Yet prior to that, engage in dialogue with them to find out why.

As you stroll(散步) through the Hangzhou Asian Games Village, one of the first things
56 catches your eyes is the neat street surface, which would swiftly become dry, almost
57 (magic), if a bottle of water were poured on. In reality, 58 phenomenon results from
the well-thought-out urban planning and construction management employed in the “sponge
city” development of the village.
Sponge cities are a concept that aim to make cities more adaptable to environmental changes
and better 59 (equip) to handle natural disasters. The city architects 60 (lay)
out ecological sponge subunits based on rainwater collection zones for various uses like
watering green areas and cleaning surfaces. This created an integrated system for organic rainwater
circulation 61 (support) the green Asian Games. Additionally, they combined landscape
design with low-impact development techniques to make the sponge city practical and visually
62 (appeal). For instance, the roads may look like rubber tracks, 63 are actually made
of special concrete that lets water seep through (渗透), showing how they’ve made both function
and beauty a 64 (combine). This minimizes the harm 65 the natural environment
caused by urban development,” explained Geng Lei, a staff member at the Asian Games Village.

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。
The small wedding celebration was set for the next day. Twenty-one friends and family members
were getting together at a beautiful villa in the hills near the charming town of Brighton, just under
an hour’s drive from the airport.
“I can’t wait for the barbecue tonight, never mind the wedding,” said Emma to her husband,
John. The couple arrived at the airport around 6 p.m. After checking out, they rented a car and
headed towards the property where Emma’s daughter, the bride, was eagerly waiting to share such a
magical event with the ones she loved.
As they crossed the hilly landscape, the sun had gone down and rain was falling heavily. But that
didn’t take away the beauty of the island. They chatted happily. John, from the driver’s seat, kept her
amused, completely unaware that the rainfall—more than nine inches would fall that day—had
already reached dangerous levels.
As they drove past the town and up the winding road into the hills, the rain intensified, and the
sky grew darker. They were approaching a bridge over what was usually a small stream when a lot of
dirty and fast-moving water unexpectedly washed over it. In just a few seconds, their little white car
slid into the now rapidly flowing river and rolled down the hillside.
The incident unfolded so rapidly that the two inside the car were too stunned to scream. As the
car moved through the water, hitting the underside of a couple of bridges, they held on tightly to the
seats and doors in shock.
Emma, seated in the back with a large present box for her daughter, noticed water coming into
the car. Muddy water was pouring into the car, rising quickly.
注意：
1.续写词数应为 150 左右；
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。

Emma realized they had to get out before the water level became too dangerous.
Just as they were losing hope in the river, a faint light appeared.
