Sandesh Kadur, a National Geographic Explorer, has spent 25 years documenting rare wildlife, transforming
his childhood passion into a mission to protect Earth’s fragile ecosystems.
When he was young, Kadur was fascinated by Jim Corbett’s tales of big cats. Inspired, he once cycled into the
jungle with a friend to observe big cats at a watering hole. At night, they really saw a big cat. Bathed in moonlight,
he realized his life’s goal: to capture and share nature’s wonders.
At 12, he borrowed his father’s camera — a “magic box” that froze time. His father, an entomologist(昆虫学家), got him looking at the small things. So he began intentionally focusing his lens on small insects, trying to
understand what he was looking at. He would develop the camera film weeks later, annotating(注释)the settings
and reattempting the shots. As he grew older, his love for nature, however, conflicted with academics. Failing high
school, he moved to Brownsville, Texas to study hotel management — a choice that unexpectedly refueled his love
for storytelling.
In Brownsville, Kadur explored Mexico’s cloud forests and landed a job as a jungle tour guide. There, he met
filmmaker John Bax, who introduced him to documentary work. When they embarked on a documentary project
together, Bax withdrew from it. Kadur, then 19 and untrained in film, pursued the project on his own. He spent
three years filming India’s Western Ghats, capturing species like the “smoke cat” for the first time. His debut film,
Sahyadris: Mountains of the Monsoon, brought the Western Ghats’ biodiversity into attention, aiding its 2012
UNESCO World Heritage status.
Through visual storytelling, Kadur offers his audiences glimpses into a rarely-seen natural world, urging them
to protect its delicate inhabitants. “Visual art has conveyed stories for millennia. Now we’re doing that with
technology, and it will continue to advance.” said Kadur, “I think the impact of storytelling can last a lifetime. It
can last generations.”
24. What led Kadur into nature?
A. Fever for big cats. B. Love for adventure.
C. Curiosity about filming. D. Fascination with Jim’s tales.
25. What was his father’s influence on him?
A. Teaching him photography skills.
B. Introducing him to documentary work.
C. Helping him regain love for storytelling.
D. Arousing his curiosity about scientific details.
26. What is Kadur’s opinion about visual storytelling?
A. It well entertains audiences. B. It serves as a bridge for nature.
C. Its value lies in expression skills. D. Its impact depends on technology.
27. Which of the following words can best describe Kadur?
A. Passionate and dedicated. B. Talented and ambitious.
C. Independent and committed. D. Responsible and generous.
【答案】24. D 25. D 26. B 27. A
CEven if you’ re not a fan of hummus, or olives, it’s worth giving the Mediterranean diet a chance. In 2025, U.
S. News and World Report ranked it Number 1 overall, as well as giving it first place as the best diet for mental
health, for healthy eating, for inflammation(炎症), for gut health and for being the easiest diet to follow.
The Mediterranean diet dates back to the 1950s when Ancel Keys, a physiologist from Minnesota, came up
with the idea for the Seven Countries Study, which revealed its protective effects against cardiovascular diseases.
This discovery transformed a regional tradition into a global health symbol.
The Mediterranean diet places plant-based foods at the foundation. The core foods include whole grains,
fruits, vegetables, beans, legumes, nuts, seeds, herbs, spices, and healthy fats such as olive oil. Moderate amounts
of lean proteins are encouraged, as are eggs, dairy products and wine. By contrast, red meats and sweets are meant
to be consumed less often. This pattern creates a natural defense against many diseases.
The Mediterranean diet also embodies a philosophy of mindful living. It depends on shared meals, seasonal
celebrations, and handmade food. In Greece, family gatherings center on grilled octopus and ouzo; in Spain, tapas
culture helps to cultivate social connections; and in Italy, slow food movements champion local biodiversity. These
practices stress the diet’s role in fostering community resilience (适应力) and cultural identity.
Although celebrated globally, the Mediterranean diet faces threats from urbanization, processed food
consumption, and economic gaps. However, scientists have put forward solutions. They emphasize its
sustainability: reliance on local, seasonal ingredients matches eco-friendly practices, while traditional farming
models regenerative agriculture. Today, the Mediterranean diet is integrated into public health policies worldwide,
serving as a “non-drug prescription” for disease prevention.
The Mediterranean diet goes beyond borders, inviting individuals to accept a way of life that honors nature,
tradition, and health. It acts as a culinary bridge — connecting past and present, culture and science, and people to
the planet. It reminds us the healthiest eating grows from respecting nature, tradition, and community.
28. What can we know about the Mediterranean diet?
A. It ranks top for its various flavors.
B. It consists of unusual ingredients.
C. It has taken the world by storm recently.
D. It is recognized for its health-protective effects.
29. What does the underlined phrase “a philosophy of mindful living” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. A focus on lifestyle integration. B. A concept on social interactions.
C. A lifestyle with conscious practices. D. Patterns of fast-paced modern life.
30. Why is the Mediterranean diet considered sustainable?A. It can get rid of processed foods. B. It is in line with global health policies.
C. It combines tradition and sustainability. D. It relies on locally sourced seasonal foods.
31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To explain the development of the diet. B. To confirm scientific studies on the diet.
C To promote the diet as a sustainable lifestyle. D. To introduce the health benefits of the diet.
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. D 31. C
D
A recent study published in the British Journal of Social Psychology suggests that people seen as kind and
helpful are also perceived (感知) as more physically attractive. This effect highlights how kind actions may shape
perceptions of physical beauty.
In her new research, Natalia Kononov, a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania, concentrated
on prosocial behavior — acts of kindness, cooperation, and helpfulness — and sought to understand whether this
quality has a unique effect on perceptions of physical beauty.
The research involved ten studies with over 4,000 participants. The team designed various contexts, where
participants were asked to observe real-life prosocial acts, read descriptions of kind actions, or imagine helpful
behavior. Participants were shown images of people alongside descriptions of either prosocial or neutral behaviors,
and then rated their physical attractiveness on a standardized scale. Some studies removed images to test if the
effects behavior extend beyond appearance.
The researchers discovered a consistent link between prosocial actions and higher ratings of physical
attractiveness. Participants described as performing prosocial acts were rated more attractive than those without.
“An interesting aspect of our findings is that kindness and generosity made both men and women appear more
attractive. This gender-universal appeal highlights just how broadly kindness can shape perceptions of beauty,”
Kononov said.
The effect appeared strongest when kindness was part of the person’s usual behavior, rather than a one-off act.
Plus, prosocial influence on attractiveness ratings was stronger than that of other positive traits (品质), like humor
or intelligence. This suggests that kindness and helpfulness play a unique role in shaping physical perceptions
beyond a general “halo effect”, where positive qualities broadly enhance other evaluations.
Despite these findings, some limitations exist. “One limitation is that our study centered largely on
participants’ initial perceptions rather than on how these impressions may evolve over time.” Kononov said,
“Additionally, the sample was primarily from United States-based participants, which may limit how the findings
apply to other cultural contexts. So further research would be valuable to understand how these dynamics mightshift in diverse settings.”
32. What does Natalia Kononov’s study focus on?
A. How kindness influences beauty evaluation.
B. How physical beauty determines perceptions.
C. Whether prosocial behavior shapes attractiveness.
D. Whether helpfulness improves social behavior.
33. How was the study carried out?
A. By analyzing prosocial behavior. B. By comparing attractiveness ratings.
C. By evaluating imagination abilities. D. By reading the image descriptions.
34. What can we learn from the findings of the research?
A. Constant kindness boosts physical appeal. B. Physical appearance dominates behavior.
C. Gender affects attractiveness evaluations. D. All positive qualities enhance attractiveness.
35. What can be inferred from Kononov?
A. Changeable contexts are necessary.
B. Long-term dynamics remain unclear.
C. Cultural diversity was prioritized in sampling.
D. Initial impressions are irrelevant to relationship.

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。
I used to always boast my busyness as some big achievements. Deadlines at school, social commitments, my
own personal projects — they all equaled to being “productive.” Yet, a burnout weekend with achieving nothing,
came the wake-up call: I wasn’t living any more, only surviving. ___36___ Its essence lies in presence, intention,
and appreciation for the small things. And I believe we could all use a little more of it in our fast-paced world.
Slow living is not doing less out of laziness. ___37___ It’s taking back our time and attention from the non-
stop hurry of contemporary life, emphasizing quality over quantity gives life depth. Consider food: instead of
rushing through them, we savor each bite, appreciating the effort behind food.
___38___ This isn’t wrong since not everybody can cut working hours or work extra holiday hours. But slow
living isn’t about grand gestures; it’s about small, intentional choices. Put your phone away during dinner. Dedicate
10 minutes daily to journaling instead of scrolling social media. These habits fit even the busiest schedules.I’ve done it myself. I decreased my activities significantly this year, and I learned to say no to commitments
that were not on my top list. I prepared more meals at home, enjoying the process as much as the product. And I
devoted more time to staying outside. ___39___
Slow living offers advantages to human beings and natural environment alike. The highspeed life we are living
today is often unsustainable. ___40___ If we adopt slow living, then we can change the world and create a better
and cleaner world.
In a word, slow living is revolutionary. It reminds us life isn’t about checking boxes but experiencing
moments. As I’ve learned, true productivity lies not in busyness, but in living intentionally.
A. It is doing what matters most.
B. This sparked my embrace of slow living.
C. The key to it is centering on essential tasks.
D. Slow living is often misunderstood as inefficiency.
E. These shifts reduced anxiety and enhanced energy.
F. However some critics consider slow living a luxury.
G. The world needs 1.75 Earths to meet our consumption.

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。
Mia and Ben became friends when they were in the school band of Westwood High. Mia was crazy about
classical music while Ben regarded hip-hop as his favourite. In spite of their different tastes, their mutual adoration
for music gradually built a strong bond that brought them together. After school, they usually practiced music in
Ben’s garage, where Mia played music on her cello (大提琴) and Ben beat out rhythms on his laptop.
One day, their school made an announcement about a music competition. The winner would have an
opportunity to perform at the city’s renowned music festival. Hearing the news, Mia and Ben were over the moon.
Without hesitation, they decided to form a team. However, when it’s time to choose a performance style, a fierce
conflict of ideas erupted.
Mia firmly believed a Mozart piece would be the perfect choice to display their combined talents. “The
melody and emotion of classical music will surely amaze the judges and the audience,” she exclaimed. However,
Ben was convinced hip-hop would be far more fascinating. “Hip-hop is what the young loves. It’s full of life and
can really get the crowd going,” he argued.
Quickly the argument was out of control. Mia was boiled with anger as Ben seemed to brush aside everything
she held dear. “How can he be so dismissive?” She murmured to herself, full of frustration. Ben started to have
second thoughts under Mia’ s sharp criticism, but his deep-rooted love for hip-hop refused to give way. “I don’twant to lose our friendship, but why can’t she understand my passion?” he thought.
In the days that followed, neither of them was ready to back down. Their close friendship was on the edge of
breaking apart. One evening, when Mia came to the garage, coincidentally, Ben was also there. They still didn’t
talk to each other. The atmosphere became so tense that it was almost suffocating (窒息的).

【答案】 When Mia turned away, Ben broke the silence. “Wait!” his voice cracked, “What if we mix them?”
Mia paused, her hand frozen on the garage door handle. Ben hurriedly tapped his laptop keyboard, blending
Mozart’s delicate melody with lively electronic beats. The garage erupted with a sound like moonlight dancing
through city streets. Mia turned around, eyes widening. Without a word, she picked up her cello and began
improvising. Their eyes met across the garage, instruments singing a language beyond styles. In the following days,
they composed together and crafted a symphony where classical precision met hip-hop’s raw energy.
