In what would become one of her last interviews, Jane sat with a faded photograph in her hands. The
image showed the baby Jane holding her first birthday gift from her father — a stuffed chimpanzee
Jubilee. “My mother’s friends were horrified by this toy, thinking it would frighten me and give me
nightmares,” she recalled. Instead, it led to her sense of wonder about the world and changed humankind’
s understanding of animals.
Her fascination with Africa began not long after she learned to read. She discovered Dr. Doolittle at
eight, and Tarzan and the Apes by ten. It was then that she announced she was going to grow up, go to
Africa, live with wild animals, and write books about them. This was in 1944, when World War II was
raging and the idea of women as professionals “just wasn’t on the table .”
London-born Jane always credited(归 功 于 ) her parents — businessman Mortimer Herbert and
novelist Margaret Joseph — for their support. When other children teased her unusual dream, her
mother reassured(使安心) her: true dreams demand tireless work, seizing opportunity, and never giving
in to doubt. This firm belief became her life’s foundation. A memory from age four captures this: she had
disappeared for four hours, causing considerable concern, only to be discovered sitting contentedly in the
henhouse, absorbed in watching the hens and wondering where their eggs came from. Instead of scolding
her, her mother saw the profound (深刻的)wonder in her daughter’s eyes.
Her work defined her life — right up to the end. Despite her advanced age Jane traveled 300 days a
year, delivering talks to students, scientists, and academics. She was on a speaking tour in the U.S. when
she departed this life recently in her sleep at a hotel in Los Angeles.
3Tributes(颂 词 )flooded in from far and wide. “Jane’s work on primates and the importance of
conservation opened the doors for generations of women in science,” Barack Obama said. Prince William
praised her “infinite (无限的) curiosity, compassion, and pioneering spirit. She challenged us all to make
a difference and inspired me and countless others to work to protect our planet.”
24. Why is the toy Jubilee mentioned?
A. It shows the fears it created in her childhood. B. It highlights its inspiring role in her life.
C. It justifies her bond with family social circle. D. It functions as her first scientific subject.
25. What does “wasn’t on the table” suggest in paragraph 2?
A. Wildlife study was unsuitable for women. B. Scientific practice was set under the table.
C. Society could accommodate(容纳) girls' ambition. D. Male scientists were less recognized.
26. What quality did Jane get from her family education?
A. Boundless curiosity and persistence. B. Strong ambition and competitiveness.
C. A creative and imaginative mindset. D. A gentle and caring heart for creatures.
27. What’s the purpose of the text?
A. To launch a pioneering campaign. B. To introduce a promising career.
C. To remember a guardian of nature. D. To awaken a passion for wildlife.

Much has been written about how modern lifestyles mean we are no longer getting enough sleep,
unlike our ancestors living in less technologically advanced times. However, an analysis of 54 sleep
studies has found that people in small, non-industrialized societies actually get less sleep than those in
more industrialized regions.
It is often assumed that the rise of electronic devices like smartphones means that people today are
sleeping less than in the recent past. Many studies that report a decrease in sleep in the past few decades
are based on asking people how long they sleep, which is an unreliable measure. Research using more
reliable assessment tools, such as physical activity monitors, hasn’t found a decrease over recent decades.
But these studies are done in industrialized countries, leaving open the question of whether people got
more sleep prior to(在…之前)industrialization.
The availability of wearable sleep monitors has made it easier to study sleep in non-industrialized
societies. McKinnon and her colleague David Samson have now analyzed 54 sleep studies, comparing
sleeping habits in industrialized societies, including the US, Australia and Sri Lanka, with those in
smaller, non-industrialized communities, including Indigenous peoples in the Amazon, Madagascar and
Tanna Island in the Pacific.
The 54 studies involved direct measurements of sleep in people aged 18 and over who had no
serious health conditions. The pair found that in non-industrialized societies, the average was 6.4 hours,
compared with 7.1 hours in industrial societies. They also found that people in non-industrialized
societies were asleep for 74 percent of the time they were in bed, compared with 88 percent in industrial
societies, a measure known as sleep efficiency.
Samson owes the higher sleep duration and efficiency in industrialized societies to safer and more
secure sleep conditions. He remarks, “We no longer need to worry about enemies or predators at night.”
“While these studies involve only 866 people in total, the data set is the most comprehensive(全面的)
yet,” says Samson.
28. What is the misconception about sleep?
4A. People with less advanced technologies sleep less.
B. People in non-industrialized societies get less sleep.
C. The increasing use of phones impacts sleep positively.
D. Modern lifestyles lead to a decrease in people’s sleep time.
29. How did McKinnon and Samson conduct their research?
A. By analyzing previous studies on sleep.
B. By comparing the data set of sleep habits.
C. By recording people’s sleep time directly.
D. By measuring sleep duration and efficiency.
30. What can be learned from McKinnon and Samon’s analysis?
A. Tanna Islanders have less sleep than Australians.
B. Sri Lankans sleep 6.4 hours per day on average.
C. Amazons enjoy safe and secure sleep conditions.
D. Americans have lower sleep efficiency.
31. What is Samson’s attitude towards the 54 studies?
A. Doubtful B. Neutral(中立的) C. Indifferent(冷淡的) D.Favorable
D
The global shipping industry is alone responsible for three percent of the total greenhouse gas
emissions（排放）humans produce. If left unaddressed(不处理) , in a few decades, it will contribute to
over 10 percent of the total man- made emissions.
A new study from MIT researchers reveals a practical solution to this problem. The study authors
have developed an emission-free approach to produce hydrogen ( H₂) fuel, which generates only water
when burned, for commercial ships. They also claim they can make hydrogen fuel using easily accessible
resources.
This isn’t the first study proposing the use of aluminum (a silver-gray metal that soda cans are made
from) for producing hydrogen fuel. It’s already well known that when aluminum and water react(反应),
hydrogen is formed as one of the byproducts(副产品). Such chemical reactions, however, come with a
sort of a dilemma: It only works when aluminum is used in its pure state. The moment aluminum meets
with oxygen, such as in air, its surface immediately forms a protective layer that prevents further
reactions.
During their study, the researchers turned recycled soda cans into small aluminum balls. They
pretreated(预 处 理 ) the aluminum balls with a rare-metal alloy(合 金 )that effectively purifies(净 化 )
aluminum, making it into a pure form that can react with seawater to generate hydrogen. The salt ions(离
子 )in the seawater can in turn attract and recover the alloy, which can be reused to generate more
hydrogen. The team found that this reaction successfully produced hydrogen gas, though slowly.
They experimented with different chemicals including the ones that are typically found in kitchens
and realized that adding coffee made a difference. “A low concentration(浓度) of caffeine is enough to
produce the same amount of hydrogen in just five minutes, compared to two hours without it,” the study
authors note. “The next part is to figure out how to use this for trucks, trains, and maybe airplanes,” Aly
Kombargi, lead study author, said.
32. How can the MIT researchers contribute to the shipping industry?
5A. By providing a clean energy source. B. By developing new fuel storage methods.
C. By improving fuel efficiency in existing ships. D. By planning more convenient shipping routes
33. What is the challenge when making hydrogen from aluminum?
A. Hydrogen is too expensive to make. B. The chemical reaction happens too slow.
C. Aluminum easily reacts with oxygen. D. The metal surface prevents further reactions.
34. What can be inferred about the MIT researchers’ hydrogen generation process?
A. It requires large quantities of alloy.
B. It produces significant waste chemicals.
C. It creates hydrogen in a sustainable(可持续的) cycle.
D. It generates hydrogen with low purity.
35. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Hydrogen Fuel: A Game Changer of Transportation
B. Cans+ Seawater+ Coffee: A Greener Shipping Future
C. Coffee: The Secret Substance for Clean Shipping Fuel
D. Aluminum: A Pioneering Material for Hydrogen Produce

There Are Things to Love About Winter
As soon as the temperature drops, my husband experiences a change. Like a bear in reverse(反向) ,
he comes alive in winter. I am his opposite. (36 ) I spent last weekend in a state of depression,
pulling out our family's collection of giant, shapeless coats.

be bad-tempered at this time of year, " said Kari Leibowitz, a health psychologist and author of "How to
Winter: Use Your Mindset to Thrive(茁壮成长)on Cold, Dark or Difficult Days. " It's not easy to
embrace dark mornings and icy roads, she said. (37 ) Instead of " wishing away winter and waiting
for spring, " Dr. Leibowitz said, lean into the cooling weather by planning cozy activities and routines.
Make a list of books we want to read during the cozy season, she suggested. (38 ) She gave some
examples, such as baking, knitting or painting.
" (39 ) " Holli-Anne Passmore, an associate professor of psychology, said. But she has found
in her research that when people actively pay attention to their natural surroundings and notice how it
makes them feel, it significantly boosts(促进) their well-being. One research subject(对象) wrote, "I felt
amazing that such a tiny bird can resist the cold. " Another wrote: "I love trees,especially big ones.
(40 ) "
I' ve already begun to take the experts' advice: I ordered some cozy winter socks and am gathering
my cold-weather reading list.
A. Adapt summer activities for winter.
B. Too often, we ignore the natural world in winter.
C. When the leaves begin to fall, so does my mood.
D. And start planning some" slow hobbies" we can do indoors.
E. If the holidays tire me out,I can carve out time to rest and recover in January.
F. I feel humbled(自卑的) by their size, knowing just how much more lies beneath the surface, too.
G. But when you write off wintertime, she added,you' re writing off a quarter of your 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。
When we were finally dismissed(解散) from the last class of the day, the students streamed out of
the classrooms. It was another boring day after school. I dragged my feet home as I sighed. Yet another
uneventful(平凡的) day, I thought. Little did I know that the day would take a turn for the worse.
The lift lobby (电梯间) of my flat was old and dirty. The walls, which were painted white, had been
dirtied over many years. I reached my flat’s lobby, and pressed the lift button and went in. Just then, Mrs.
Lim, my elderly neighbor, limped(跛行) in. She looked ancient with tissue paper white hair, wearing a
faded old-fashioned dress. I held the lift door open, flashing a friendly smile, and politely greeted her. I
asked her how she felt that day and pressed the buttons. She thanked me for being so polite, then we were
silent for the rest of the ride.
The lift fell down increasingly fast. There were loud clanking(发叮当声) sounds here and there
while the lift grew slower and slower. My heart beat hard and fast as my hands turned cold and wet with
sweat. Unfortunately, the lift came to an sudden stop at the fifth floor. I pressed the buttons hard several
times, but it was of no help. The lights on the buttons had gone out. It soon dawned(明白) on me that we
were trapped. An icy fear crept (爬) up my spine(脊柱). Mrs. Lim was hysterical (歇斯底里).
“We will never get out!” she cried with her face pale. It had become a colorless mask. I had no time
to lose. I pressed the bell in the lift immediately. The sound was surely deafening, but what other choice
did I have? Mrs. Lim burst into tears. I tried my very best to comfort her, telling her that everything
8would be all right and that we needed to find out how to get out safely. Mrs. Lim began having trouble
breathing, and I immediately helped her sit down and loosened her collar.
Paragraph 1: Several minutes passed, but no help came.
Paragraph 2: Bang! My hopes were lifted when I heard the firefighters on the other side of the lift
door.
